Speaker Time Text
unidentified
The modern-day Democrat Party is hell-bent on driving America into socialism.
We will not allow them to win any longer.
I was proud to work in President Trump's White House, where we fought against the fake news and the political elites on the front lines every single day.
We need to ensure border security.
We need to ban critical race theory.
We need to balance the checkbook of Washington.
That's why I'm running.
To put New Hampshire first.
To put America first.
I'm Caroline Leavitt, and I approve this message.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to the War Room.
It's Wednesday, 7 September, in the year of our Lord, 2022.
We've got a packed show today.
General Bolduc's going to join us as soon as we can get a technical glitch worked out, but I want to start with Caroline Leavitt.
She's running for the House up in New Hampshire 1.
Caroline, you've got to help me and the audience out here.
Here's what I'm going to get.
You work for Elise Stefanik.
You worked over for Kayleigh McEnany in the White House.
You were part of Trump's White House.
You're a lifelong conservative.
You're a grandestater.
I think you born and went to college there.
Why are outside people putting four million dollars on a young woman's head who's running for Congress and clearly is all maggot all the time, ma'am?
unidentified
Yeah, well all of the things you just said, Steve, are true.
I'm a born and raised product of this district, of our school system, of our higher education university system.
I was a college athlete.
I went on to earn a job in President Trump's White House.
I'm from a business family, the first in my immediate family to graduate from school.
I worked for Kayleigh McEnany, worked for Elise Stefanik.
I came back home to fight for the people of my district as the radical socialist Democrats are taking over our country right now in every institution.
And now the corrupt establishment bureaucrats within our own party are viciously attacking me.
They have spent $5 million to attack me and my family with vicious, desperate personal smears and to boost their handpick in the race.
And voters are smart. They understand why this is happening.
It's because the establishment knows I cannot be controlled. I'm funded and supported by the people and I will always be for the people.
I'm the greatest threat to their hand in pick, Matt Mowers.
I'm the greatest threat to beating our Democrat incumbent, Chris Pappas, in the general election. And I'm the greatest threat to the establishment in D.C. I've taken positions on issues throughout this campaign that the Republican leadership in D.C. was whipping votes for. For instance, the $54 billion that we stole from taxpayers flushed over to Ukraine. I said, absolutely not. Hell no, I wouldn't have voted for that. They can't stand that I'm a truly independent voice.
That the people are garnering support for.
And we're going to win this race in six days.
They just put in another nearly million bucks to attack me in television ads.
We're being outspent 17 to 1.
It's vicious.
It's desperate.
But voters are smart.
It's not going to work.
steve bannon
Here's what I don't get.
What is it?
Because you stood up against the Ukraine.
You said it was wrong at the time.
Everybody knows it's wrong now.
You can't find a Republican who's going to stand up and admit to that.
That's why, you know, you show leadership and you show forethought and ability to think over the other side of the hill.
What is it on a policy perspective, as you go around the district, because you and Boulder get kind of done the same way, you shake hands, you knock on doors, you go to these small meetings that really New Hampshire is known for, and that's why New Hampshire is the first primary we have in the nation in selecting the president.
As you go around knocking on those doors, shaking hands with the constituents in the district, what are they telling you and what is it that the establishment doesn't like?
What do they, what does the establishment find dangerous about that?
unidentified
Well, they know that I've been solely funded by the people, Steve, right?
You have to follow the money in Washington, D.C.
You know that better than most, right?
And my establishment pick, Matt Mauer, is my opponent in this race.
He is completely funded by Kevin McCarthy and all of his shills down in Washington, D.C.
He's bought and paid for it, so they know he can be controlled.
He'll vote in party line.
He'll be another rubber stamp for the GOP.
That's not what voters want, and voters are smart enough, especially after my former boss, President Trump's historic presidency, right?
They know that when they're attacking you, when the swamp is after you, that means you're the person they want to vote for.
That means you're the true threat to the swamp.
I've pledged my commitment to term limits.
I've pledged to not vote to raise the debt ceiling and only vote for a truly balanced budget.
These are some specific policy priorities that, again, weak Republicans at the helm of leadership have been pushing and advocating for.
And they know when I get down there, they are not going to be able to boss me around.
But they do know that my opponent will be easily controlled, and they are desperate for leadership.
Kevin McCarthy desperately wants to be the Speaker of the House, Matt Mowers is a safe bet and a safe vote for him.
So it all goes back to money, power, and control.
But as we saw with President Trump, as we're seeing with so many amazing grassroots candidates across this country in the last few primaries over the last several months, money, power, control, Swap Games aren't working.
Voters are smart.
They are woken up to what's going on in D.C., and they are voting for workhorses in races.
Not showhorses, but workhorses.
And I've been putting in the work over the past year, going to every meeting I can, participating in every single debate, shaking as many hands as possible.
And like I said, I'm from this district.
That goes a long way with the people of New Hampshire.
My family's done business here for years.
We've shaken a lot of hands and done business with a lot of amazing, hardworking people who want a true homegrown representative.
I'm so proud to be in this race.
You know, it's a freeing feeling, Steve, knowing I'm going to win and I'm going to go down there and not be beholden to anyone except for the people who elected me.
steve bannon
If you look at the pundits and the establishment, they say, look, she's terrific, but she can't beat Pappas.
She's too grassroots.
She's too conservative.
She can't beat Pappas.
Talk to me.
Why are you the best pick for people in the first district that want to really have a Republican congressman?
Are you the best person actually to take on the Democrat?
unidentified
The same people who say I can't win are the very same people who are putting $5 million behind a guy who's already a proven loser.
Matt Mauer has already proved to us that he can't beat Chris Kavis in the general election, so why should we put our money and invest in him again?
And you know, the people of New Hampshire aren't buying that.
That's why I've raised significantly more dollars.
from in-state donors, businessmen and women in our New Hampshire community who are investing in my campaign because they already invested in Mauer's and he let them down.
And you know there's been a lot that has been exposed about him over the last year.
He allegedly committed voter fraud. The Democrats are going to take him over the polls.
I'm the best bet to beat Chris Papas because the only thing that Democrats can say about me is my greatest strength and that's my youth.
And I'm the only candidate in this race who's reaching out to the most influential voting bloc in our general electorate, 18- to 40-year-olds.
I've gone to every college campus.
I've even spoken at high schools that have allowed me in their doors.
I have meetings with parents with their young children and grandchildren, coffees and dinners and lunches all of the time.
And we're beating Matt Mowers in the polls with 18- to 40-year-olds.
We're going to continue that work.
Throughout the general election campaign, let me just say, we need a good messenger.
I mean, we had a debate last night, and frankly, I don't think Matt Mowers is up to the task to go to war with Chris Pappas on a debate stage, but I am on every single issue, from the issue of abortion and life, to the issues of our economy.
I can relate, because I understand I'm actually from this district.
That's what makes me the best candidate to beat Pappas, because I'm the greatest, most clear contrast, and I haven't already lost to him before.
steve bannon
Well, you've also shown judgment.
They say she's young, but I said, look at the wisdom and judgment she had.
It's about judgment.
You had judgment on Ukraine and other situations where you kind of called it as you saw it.
It turns out you were right.
And other people, particularly the establishment and the D.C.
swamp, the establishment down there, were wrong.
Caroline.
This is going to be intense between now and next Tuesday.
Like I said, another million dollars coming in to smear you and to destroy you personally.
How does this audience follow you and how can they help?
What is your campaign site and what's your social media?
unidentified
Yeah, thanks, Steve.
It will be tough, but God has my back, and I know that people do, too, and I need all the support I can get.
Caroline4Congress.com.
It's Caroline with a K. Getter, true social, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.
I'm on it all.
I run all my own social accounts.
Please reach out to me personally.
Tip in what you can so we can combat the establishment's war machine, war chest, rather.
But we're going to win this thing.
I'm proud to be the top target of the D.C.
Money Machine, man.
It's going to be great.
Victory will be the best revenge on the 13th.
Can't wait.
steve bannon
You are a true granite stater.
That's what the folks in New Hampshire are known for.
That's why you're the first primary in the country.
We're looking for that toughness.
Live free or die, ma'am.
Thank you very much for joining us.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go to Ben Burkham.
I want to go to Austin, Texas for the education, the Border Education Conference down there.
Oh, hang on for a second.
I'll tell you, before we do that, we have General Bolduc.
If I have time to play his spot and get General Bolduc on, I'd love to stay in the Grand Estate before I go to Texas.
Let's play General Bolduc's ad.
unidentified
Ending mandates, school closures, inflation, and soaring gas prices.
Enough is enough.
Granite staters are angry.
We are hurting.
We are tired of being taken for granted by career politicians.
We need leaders who will fight for our families.
General Don Bulldog is one of us.
He defended America abroad and is fighting for us here at home.
He is the fighter we need in Washington.
After two years of hardship, we're faced with a choice.
These are the very people who shut us down.
The very people who caused all our problems are now standing in front of us asking for a vote.
They're asking us to elect them or re-elect them.
Hell no!
We need to hold them accountable.
Vote for a fighter.
Vote for an outsider.
Vote General Don Bolden for U.S.
Senate.
steve bannon
Let me bring in General Bolduc by phone now.
He joins us from New Hampshire.
General Bolduc, you also, why are all these out-of-state folks dropping unlimited amount of money on you, millions of dollars in the last couple of days, given your record, given your association with the state, given that you are a granted stater?
Why is outside money coming, and they're not taking on about policy, it's all to smear you personally, sir?
unidentified
Well, Steve, thank you for having me on, and my best to your listeners.
And, you know, I mean... Can you hear me?
steve bannon
Yes, sir.
I got you right here.
Go ahead, General Bullock.
unidentified
Okay.
Yeah, thank you.
And best to your listeners.
You know, I mean, it's simple.
There's really nothing that's real complicated about it.
I have a true Granite Stater who is dedicated to the people.
And who will serve the people and will go down to Washington, D.C.
and not be beholden to any one individual just because of their title or any one party just because I come from the Republican Party.
And what they want is someone who's going to follow.
They don't want a leader down there.
They don't want anyone that's going to challenge the status quo, that is going to challenge What they've put in place is career politicians, and that's homage to special interests, lobbyists, wealthy political elite, the propagandist media, and selected corporations.
They don't want a fighter down there.
That's not what they want.
The mistake that they've made, though, is that I've been doing this for two years.
I realized it was going to take that much time to get to all the people in New Hampshire, And get my message across in a, you know, precinct type strategy, bottom up and get this done meeting with people in every town and city.
And so now they're coming in the 11th hour and they're firing their final protective fire, you know, which is what the enemy does when it knows it's going to lose in its last ditch effort.
Right.
And they just, you know, I mean, it's simple.
They don't want an outsider.
They don't want someone who's going to change the dynamic down there and work for the people of New Hampshire.
As, you know, an ambassador to the people of New Hampshire and Washington, D.C.
So, that's my assessment.
steve bannon
Real quickly, we've got about a minute and a half.
You're by far the best candidate to take on Maggie Hassan.
What does the establishment miss about that?
Because you're the fighter that needs to go up against her.
unidentified
Yeah, you know, it's just, you know, they've said in their meetings, it's been reported back to us, that they would rather have Maggie Hassan than Don Baldick.
In the United States Senate, because at least they can depend on Maggie Hassan to go with the status quo.
At least they know what she's going to do, and they can calculate that, even though everything that she does is bad for granted staters and bad for Americans.
steve bannon
General Bullock, how do people follow your campaign?
This is a sprint till Tuesday.
They're going to drop another couple of million dollars on your head over the weekend.
How do people follow your campaign?
how they support it.
I tell you what, we just dropped him.
That's okay.
He's going around New Hampshire.
We're going to put all of that up there.
Carolyn Leavitt and General Bullock are both having millions of dollars dropped on their head of personal attacks by the Washington, D.C.
establishment in the run-up to this very important New Hampshire primary.
We're going to put his Everything up there about his campaign so you can get to it.
But an incredible, incredible and intense race.
General Bullock's going around the state shaking hands.
At one time he had up to a 22 point lead.
Okay, we're going to return.
And by the way, Carolyn Leavitt drew dead even with no money.
Short commercial break.
We're going to go to Texas.
Ben Berquam.
We also have Turner here for energy.
Patrick Phillips.
Phillip Patrick here about the economy and money.
All next in the War Room.
unidentified
We rejoice when there is no more. Let's take down the CCP!
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.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
DonBaldick.com is the site.
Go there if you want to find out where he's going to be over the weekend or if you want to give your support or just find out how to follow him on social media.
These are two very intense political races.
Everything's tight in the Granite State, so the senatorial campaign and also the House seats.
Okay, let's go to Texas.
We've got, I've got to tell you, I'm so proud to have these guys here.
They're two of the best down at the Border Education Conference in Austin, Texas.
Todd Bensman from CIS.
And our own Ben Berquam.
Ben, give us a sense.
What is this conference about?
We had Chip Roy and Brother Morgan on today.
They were just, Mark Morgan, just incredible.
Give us a sense.
I want the audience to take a second to explain what the border, because the people in the war room say, hey, look, you know, Todd Bensman and Ben Berquam and Oscar Blue, these guys have educated us over the last couple of years.
Who's not educated in Texas?
ben bergquam
Well, sadly, that was the entire purpose of this event, was to educate the legislators that don't know.
And you would think, well, if you're from Texas, you have to know what's happening on the border.
And the reality is, there are a lot of people that even live in Texas that have no clue what's going on.
So this event was put together to basically bring awareness to Republican legislators and Republican representatives across the state of Texas.
But as Todd and I were just talking about, The turnout of legislators is actually really depressing.
I mean, you've got no Governor Abbott here.
He may have somebody, one of his staffers here.
We don't know.
We can't track anyone down.
Very few legislators here.
So you have an incredible amount of information, incredible speakers with some of the
the most relevant up-to-date border information that is out there about really the invasion the destruction of our country and and the people that should be here sitting here listening to it just don't care to come or they were too busy or who knows there are a few legislators here that decided to come but it's that was the entire purpose of this was to educate the legislators and this should be happening all over the country an event like this to educate the people that are making the decisions that affect our lives it should be happening in every state in the country
But if you can't even expect them to show up here, how do you expect them to show up anywhere else?
steve bannon
Every state's a border state.
Every town's a border town.
Ben, before I go to Todd, are they staying away because they don't want to be associated with border security and what's happening?
Is it because they've got other things?
You put a conference on like this, you have people like Todd Benzema and Chip Roy.
I mean, these are heavy hitters.
Why?
Is it politically they're staying away or is it really it's the calendar, they're just back from Labor Day and it's too busy?
ben bergquam
I, you know, I can't speak for them.
All I can say, the fact that Governor Abbott isn't here and if he does or doesn't have people here, you look at what he's doing, the policies that they're doing, I don't know.
I can't answer that.
I mean, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we're in a political season Maybe they just think it's not worth their time, but I gotta tell you, the information that's being relayed in this event today is shocking.
It shocks me, and I'm in the business.
I mean, some of the stuff we've seen is like, wow, I didn't know that.
And I'm a guy who eats and breathes and sleeps this stuff.
So for people out there that don't get it, they should be here, whatever excuse they have.
And for me, the fact that Governor Abbott isn't here, there is no excuse for that.
It's in his backyard.
It's his state that's being destroyed from within.
And again, all he's doing is busing people to D.C., which was a great gimmick to begin with, but all you're doing at that point is giving more political representation to New York and D.C.
It's unfortunate, especially when we know the information that's coming out.
We have been overrun.
We have cartels that run Mexico.
Now they're running places in America, across Texas and across this country.
unidentified
This should be priority number one for any representative.
steve bannon
I think one of the best interviews we've had is the sheriff you had on today.
They just laid it on the line.
He says, hey, don't let them fool you.
The Mexican government's in business with the cartels.
It's a narco state.
Todd Benzema, we haven't had a chance because I know you've been busy on a big project.
But since the Daily Mail came out and independently went to all these different sources and supported your 4.9 million unauthorized aliens that are in the country.
The New York Times came out yesterday, I think it was the day before.
Cortez and I talked about it on the morning show.
One million asylum seekers are here.
The average time of their court case is going to be seven years from now.
Walk us through this invasion on the scale of it, Todd, as now the mainstream media is even coming to grips with how massive this is.
unidentified
Right, well, if we consider that 2.4 million have gotten into the country in 18 months, then we have to just double that in the next 18 months.
So we're going to be looking at, you know, three and a half million actually in the country, not the ones that are just hitting the border.
That gives us six more months of the administration.
So figure another, you know, million, half a million, We're looking at, you know, 6 million, and then if they drop 42, 7 million by the end of this one term that are actually inside the country.
So a city the size of L.A.
or pushing the size of L.A.
I wanted to just say one.
I have one comment about the lack of turnout to this event, which which.
You know, it is featuring some really big luminaries on border security, like Mark Morgan is here, gave a rousing talk, and Ken Cuccinelli is here, we had Jason Jones here, people who are really providing the on-the-ground understanding and policy
And I think that the reason, one reason that we don't see Republican turnout in Texas is that maybe there's some complacency about the coming elections that we don't really, we've got, Texas is a lock.
But Texas is not a lock.
Yeah, Beto O'Rourke, who is working the abortion issue like you wouldn't believe, and actually making headway.
He's got the polls, I mean, okay, the polls are the polls, but it's all we got, are showing a really closing gap.
If there is some kind of an upset and I'm not predicting an upset But I wouldn't call it completely out of the question that that an upset happens over over this Then you know, Texas the way Texas goes is So goes the country.
We have 1,200 miles of the border, 1,254 miles of the border here.
If they pull Operation Lone Star, if they, you know, Democrat gets in, it's a game changer for the whole country.
I think Republicans should start to care in Texas.
Governor Abbott is by far a better selection choice than, you know, anything with Beto O'Rourke on it.
steve bannon
When you say that, Todd, what actions are being taken?
I think that's the point.
We understand that, particularly the radical nature of the Democrats, they're the ones that are driving this invasion.
That's a given and we agree with you.
But the point is, particularly the information you put out every day, Real America's Voice in the reporting, It's pretty straightforward what you have to do.
The question is, do you have the political will to do it?
it's one thing talk about border security is nothing to do it the things down there if you talk to the sheriff's and mark morning more in the front line guys it's not that complicated it's pretty straightforward what you have to do the question is do you have the political will to do it todd benson That's right.
unidentified
But, you know, as some of the speakers are pointing out today at this conference is that, you know, the governor of Texas has not done nothing.
todd bensman
We have Operation Lone Star, which, when you consider that almost all the Border Patrol are pulled into babysitting duty for most of their shifts in these hot zone areas, there's nobody there except Texas DPS.
unidentified
Catching drug traffickers.
I'm not talking about the immigrants, but they are catching at least immigrants that might otherwise be gotaways and turning them over in a great percentage of gotaways.
Runners and gotaways happen to be criminal aliens who are deportable and prosecutable.
Not that the Biden administration is doing all of them, but I think some of them do.
So, I mean, there'd be nothing there at all.
If a Beto O'Rourke, and I'm not predicting anything here, but, you know, the points are closing on this.
They can't be complacent.
And if a Beto O'Rourke were to get in, you would not have anything there at all.
They would pull every DPS trooper off that border, every National Guard off that border, and what we have now is a heck of a lot better than that.
That's all I'm saying.
steve bannon
Okay, Ben, real quickly, you said you, and you've been in harm's way down there with Todd and Oscar and others, you've been shocked by some of the information you've heard.
Give me two items that have shocked Ben Berquand that he didn't know.
ben bergquam
Well, first off, speaking about Sheriff Boyd that we were interviewing earlier today, I didn't know this, that Chinese nationals actually own more land now in Val Verde County than American citizens do.
That should shock every single American citizen.
I mean, that is beyond shocking to me.
unidentified
Not too far from military facilities.
ben bergquam
Yes.
And the other part is the fact that the cartels, the level to the control that they have, we just sat through, you mentioned Jason Jones, we just sat through an event with him, and it was shocking how long this has been going on, and the extent to which the cartels control Mexico, which again, we know, but now control America as well.
steve bannon
No, I think the sheriff was... I think that's why the audience loved the sheriff's thing.
He said, hey, it's a narco state.
Did we lose our guys?
unidentified
Ben?
steve bannon
Okay, we can wrap up.
Guys, you got it?
unidentified
Ben?
I don't think so.
steve bannon
Okay.
Right there you have, at the border, education.
Hey, look, it is what it is.
A ton of politicians down.
I think Todd Bensman is making a logical case that obviously Abbott is better than Beto O'Rourke.
The question is, the Republicans, what are you going to do?
You had this impassioned plea from Chip Roy today.
What do we have to do when we take the House?
It's obvious.
If we don't sit there, and Chip said actually, not approving budgets and appropriations that Biden puts forward until we get actual border security.
That means a wall.
You've got to build a wall.
But that's just the first step.
Then you need enforcement.
You also need deportations.
And you've got to stop the catch and release.
Look, there's 4 million or 4.8 million right now in the United States.
And look, his math, Todd Bensman's math, it's going to be 7 million by the end of the Biden term, the end of the regime.
Short break.
Philip Patrick, we're going to talk money, capital markets and gold next in The War Room.
unidentified
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.
steve bannon
you.
MyPillow.com promo code war room.
You got the per kale sheets, special deal, right?
$29.99.
I think you get the bigger size $39.99.
Go check it out right now.
Mike Lindell introduced these to me a while ago.
They're the best sheets I've ever slept on.
I highly, highly recommend them.
MyPillow.com, promo code WARROOM.
Support the armor-piercing shell that is Mike Lindell.
Of course, you're humble servants here at the War Room by going to MyPillow.com, promo code WARROOM.
You've got the sheets.
Of course, they've got everything.
They've got sales all over.
Buy one, get one free.
Slippers, moccasins, pillows, all of it.
But these sheets are a one-time good deal and they're not going to be around forever.
Okay, I want to go to, I've got Daniel Turner who is one of the best experts out there on energy.
Daniel, here I want to, you've got the technological center of the universe, California, and now people are calling me and even some staff and people that work with us are saying they're getting AMBERS alerts and they're having, they were going to have brownouts, rolling brownouts Now it's blackouts, and it's blackouts in Palo Alto, right?
It's blackouts in the center of the high-tech industry up there around San Jose.
Then, on the other hand, I look at Europe, and Axios today capitulates.
Axios, the headline in one of their morning newsletters, the one on energy, was that markets collapse.
I go, that's interesting.
Let me click on it.
Markets collapse.
It's a whole detailed thing.
It's up on my getter if Denver can put it up when we get a chance.
It's basically a detailed analysis of how, hey, in 90 days this thing could be over.
Connect those dots.
Connect the EU and Europe and Axios story to what is going on in one of the greatest states in the Union, the seventh biggest economy, the golden state, California, sir.
daniel turner
Yeah, and I'm glad you say that just before I begin because, you know, growing up as a kid, I grew up in New York City, but California was always the land of, you know, blondes and beaches and surfing.
unidentified
California was the promised land.
So to see what's happening to California is devastating.
I don't take any joy in what's happening to California, but California is leading the nation in the green movement and Europe is 20 years ahead of California and it's caught up with them.
And this is what happens when the political science of the green movement, which is truly, truly Marxist in its heart, but the political science of going green and climate change and saving the Earth and Greta Thunberg clashes with the real science of engineering and physics and math and kilowatt hours and voltage and wattage of the electric grid.
And anyone who can do the math can look at Europe and predict, and many of us have, Collapse is inevitable, right?
And all it took was a couple of variables.
Russia and Ukraine is a variable.
Joe Biden's terrible presidency is a variable.
But this didn't cause it, right?
This just brought about what was inevitably the end of Europe.
And I got to tell you, and it scares me, and I hate to sound like I'm hyperbolic here, But what's going to happen in Europe is there's going to be enormous tension between nations.
Right now, France sells electricity to Germany, and especially the Alsace-Lorraine area, because they've had an abundance.
Electricity prices are so high, France isn't going to sell it anymore.
They're going to conserve it.
And also, as the shortages kick in, they're going to conserve it for the French.
And Alsace-Lorraine is going to get plunged into darkness.
And the German chancellor is going to say, blame France.
And just what's the history of alsace-lorraine when one side starts to blame france and the other side starts to blame germany i mean these are the makings of of war between the european nations and if you don't think it can happen it happened twice in our recent history here's when you say i just want to go make sure the audience understand this when you say you talk about the physics of the grid uh what it needs to do to produce energy all the science all the engineering
steve bannon
and it was off of what the politics were but the politicians know that I mean, the German people, it's a great, it's a manufacturing powerhouse of precision engineering, right?
Yes.
Did they just make a bad decision in going to the Green New Deal, the transition of really Betting the whole, which Trump told him not to, don't totally make your system built on very inexpensive and bountiful, plentiful Russian natural gas.
Or did they miss it every step of the way?
Is their transition to the solar power?
You know, Boris Johnson gives his farewell address yesterday.
He sits there in front of 10 Downing and he says, by I think 2030, 50% of British power will be by solar. That's just ludicrous. I mean, that's so so was it fantasy?
unidentified
Or do guys make a bad bets on just trying to get something cheap that could run their run their countries and then made the wrong bet? I mean, the reason why Boris Johnson is so pale is because England doesn't have a lot of sun. So to say that we're going to get 50% of our power from the sun in the UK is just no, no, no, no, no, he said.
steve bannon
No, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, it wasn't solar, it was wind.
I'm sorry, he said 50% by wind.
Because now they have that thing in the Irish Sea, they're building these off of Scotland, so it's 50% by wind.
unidentified
This is what Germany promised their constituents would happen by now.
We will get half of our power, all of our power, by wind.
They've invested 500 billion euro.
That's half a trillion, right?
500 billion euro in building wind power.
It's taken 20 years.
And you look at these 20 years and you say, you are now paying $1,000 per megawatt hour.
You used to pay $30.
You're now paying $1,000 per megawatt hour for electricity.
Your emissions are higher.
If you think emissions are an actual metric, I don't.
I think the emissions game is a big lie.
But say you want to play the emissions game.
Well, your emissions are higher 20 years later.
You're cowering before Vladimir Putin.
So the question for Germany is, when does the good part of wind kick in?
Right?
It's been 20 years, 500 billion.
Emissions are higher.
We're paying a thousand times more.
When does it start to work?
And no one has ever seemed to answer me that question.
And so, yes, then they were hooked on cheap Russian natural gas.
And, you know, I was telling your producer before we went online, your early movie documentary, In the Face of Evil, was life-changing for me.
I'm a huge fan of the film.
Can't recommend it enough.
But one of the lessons we learned from that, and we learned from Reagan, Right.
is don't make deal with the Soviets.
So who are all these Germans at the very beginning of the 1990s to say, you know what, Soviet Union fell, let's get in bed with Yeltsin and the Russians.
They're not Russians, they're Soviets.
And look at what they're doing to them now.
So Putin has shut down Nord Stream Pipeline, why?
Joe Biden said he wouldn't do this because he wants the money.
steve bannon
He's a gangster.
He's going full gangster.
I've got to bounce, but I'm going to have Philip Patrick here from Birch Gold.
You use the word collapse.
Axios used the word collapse.
Give me 60 seconds.
When you say collapse of an energy market, that's a bold term.
We talk about Europe, all the infrastructure, all the history, all the engineering.
Axios used it.
You've used it.
What does a collapse of the European energy market look like, sir?
unidentified
A total devastation for Germany.
You mentioned their engineering precision.
Everyone knows German cars, German steel.
Right now, the city of Hamburg cannot produce hot water for its constituents.
It's the second largest city In the country.
So a German economic energy collapse means your manufacturing section is dead.
And if you know the EU, you know it is sustained by Germany.
The French economy is lousy.
The Spanish economy is lousy.
Germany sustains the entire European Union.
And when Germany goes, there goes the European Union.
And like I said, we have the 20th century as a history of what that means.
steve bannon
Brother Turner, stay on for one second.
I want to bring in Philip Patrick.
Philip, you've got Axios this morning talking about the collapse of the European energy market.
You've got California doing blackouts.
We're still sitting here right now with another $47 billion, where you were going last week to put another $47 billion up.
Give us your sense, the Birch Gold sense, give us your sense of global capital markets and particularly the danger that Europe presents to the United States right now, as far as a continent that may not have a recession, but may actually collapse into a depression, sir.
phillip patrick
I mean it's an absolute disaster what's happening now.
And I think we talk about the second installment of the death of the dollar and that's focusing on loss of global reserve currency.
Look at what's happening now.
Very recently on Wednesday, Putin announced China would start paying for gas in rubles.
Stop paying for gas in rubles and yuan, right?
This is significant.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it.
They would stop paying in dollars and start paying in rubles and yuan, right?
They're not going to convert into dollars.
That's the biggest shot.
The timing of our letter, by the way, go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
I'm telling you, the Financial Times put a column out last week, two weeks ago, Philip, that said it's pretty good timing.
Today, the Russians and the Chinese announced it.
They're not going to convert into dollars.
How big a deal is that?
phillip patrick
It's massive.
It's huge.
And like I said, the timing of this second report is just absolutely perfect.
But it's significant.
Look, commodities are priced in and paid for in U.S.
dollars.
That's been the case for the last 50 years.
It's so important, right? It's a very privileged position to be in.
Every nation needs dollars to transact, which strengthens the dollar by proxy, and it makes imported goods and deficit spending, very timely today, eat cheaper for us here in the United States. Now, initially, after the sanctions, China had agreed to pay Russia in euros. This recent deal between themselves is a move away from that.
Now, they're viewing it as mutually beneficial, right?
What it's allowing them to do is reinforce their own economies, and now they've even agreed to build two new pipelines between Russia and China.
So that's a big commitment.
It's a big investment.
It takes a lot of time, a lot of money to do that, and I think it demonstrates their commitment to a long-term partnership.
What it means for us here in the West, however, in the United States and the Western world, It's very, very dangerous, right?
It's removing our power on the international stage.
The most frustrating thing of all, though, was this was a self-inflicted crisis, right?
The Biden regime had attempted to take resources away from Russia, and all it's done is made them more resourceful, right?
This is the beginning of the end, in my mind, for US dollar hegemony globally.
It's a big, big problem.
unidentified
Hold it.
steve bannon
In the report, by the way, you've got two.
They're all free.
You get The Politics of Money's part one.
This is called The End of the Dollar Empire, the overall series we're doing.
The first is called The Politics of Money.
You get up to speed on what the United States used to be when we used to actually have politics around currency.
The second is about our fall as the prime reserve currency, which will change everybody's life.
We don't sit in there saying it's not going to happen tomorrow.
But, to your point, these type of things that wouldn't even be conceived of two years ago under a Trump administration, the major powers in the world are doing it, and Philip, everybody else is trying to figure out a way that they can get away from the dollar, correct?
phillip patrick
Absolutely.
Global dollar holdings by central banks are at 31-year lows, right?
Even friendly nations are looking at what the US government is doing to the dollar, and they're looking for shorter-term solutions.
That has been gold.
Gold reserves have been boosted.
internationally significantly. Longer term, they're going to be looking for another alternative.
As you say, these moves are glacial. They're slow. We're not going to lose global reserve currency status tomorrow. But when you have the second and 11th largest economies in the world now transitioning away from US dollars, it's...
It's significant and for me.
It's the beginning of the eventual downfall of the dollar and that is Significant currencies do not recover from a loss of global reserve We'll be like Argentina.
steve bannon
One of the reasons they're trying to do this, ladies and gentlemen, they see what the Biden administration is doing.
They've seen how much they've put on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet.
They see the debt.
They understand, they're smart enough to know that when people come back, it's not just the $47 billion, it's the $2 trillion discretionary spending.
We had Dave Brad on here this morning talking about it.
Okay, short break.
We got Daniel Turner.
We got Philip Patrick.
We may try to get Sloane Rockman.
We could fit it all in.
We're in the War Room.
It's on fire.
We're talking energy and assets.
That asset would be gold.

Daniel Turner, are energy prices coming down, natural gas, particularly in the United States, is that coming down anytime soon, sir?
unidentified
No, and I actually think oil prices are going to get much worse because, as I'm sure you and your great audience know, Most of China is still under lockdown, and that is having huge repercussions in oil consumption worldwide.
The only reason why oil dropped from $126 where it was in June to roughly where it is now, which is hovering around 90, is because of these enormous Chinese lockdowns in their major cities.
It has nothing to do with what Biden did.
It has nothing to do with OPEC Plus.
It's all because we're consuming less, and we're also consuming less because of the price point.
Even in America, oil consumption This summer was lower than it was in the summer of 2020 at the height of COVID lockdowns because it was so expensive.
The only way to bring down your price is to either increase the supply, which Biden will not do, or to destroy demand.
And that's exactly what he's doing.
But no, prices are going to rise again.
steve bannon
And demand destruction means a dramatic change of your lifestyle.
You're not taking a fan out for a drive on Sunday.
You're not going to go see friends.
Demand destruction is a nice term for economics, but it means your lifestyle is changing.
Real quickly, yes or no, is Axios right?
Are you going to see these markets collapse in energy in 60 to 90 days in Europe?
unidentified
I think they'll collapse because they will skyrocket to, yes, they will collapse, but they're not going to collapse in a decrease in price.
The price will become so astronomical that they will be unattainable even for the government to sustain, and so that will bring on the collapse.
steve bannon
Daniel, how do people get to you?
What's your social media?
unidentified
Daniel Turner, powerofthefuture.com, and Daniel Turner PTF across all platforms, and I'm on every platform.
steve bannon
Thank you very much.
Philip Patrick, you've been at this a long time.
Have you ever seen a world economic crisis like is building right now, sir, in every different aspect of it, whether it's energy, food, national security, geopolitical?
Have you ever seen anything in your life like this, brother?
phillip patrick
Never, never in my life.
What's happening geopolitically, what's happening domestically with the economy, the lack of options.
I've never seen anything like this.
And quite frankly, a lot of this was avoidable.
We just needed good leadership.
We didn't get it.
And we're heading down a path that I'm not sure that there's any return from.
So, no, is the short answer.
steve bannon
By the way, if you think of where we were in two years, if you think of where we were in the Christmas of 2019, Philip, one more time, people should go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon to get the second installment.
You get the first two, but it's all free.
Get the second installment.
The end of the dollar is the end of the loss of the prime reserve currency.
It will shock you.
Phillip, also, how do people go just to talk to an advisor?
They want to talk to somebody now at Birch Gold to find out about gold as an option.
Right now, you've got to be looking at all options.
You owe it to yourself to look at all your alternatives, where they go.
phillip patrick
That's exactly correct.
So same place, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
There's a lot of good information for your listeners.
They'll get that second report.
In my humble opinion, it's even better than the first.
I think it's fantastic, very educational, and everybody needs to read it.
It's so important.
steve bannon
We broke this down so the layman can understand it, right?
So we want to make sure you have to get this information.
You have to understand about money.
Phillip, just hang on for one second.
Do I still have Ben Burquam?
Ben, the conference is great.
I think what left people depressed is that there's no legislatures or no elected officials down there.
What is your message to the Republican Party?
And what is your message to people?
I mean, Chip Roy was on fire today.
What do we need to do to stop the invasion of the southern border?
And how do we do it politically, sir?
ben bergquam
Well, as I mentioned, some of the stuff we're getting, part of that was from Sheriff Boyd here of Goliad County.
It's the fact that you have to stand up and fight back.
The sheriffs have to fight back.
Every single state legislature has to fight back.
We have to call on the governor.
If you're in Texas, as Todd Bensman mentioned, this is not a safe seat for Governor Abbott.
He has to get...
He needs to hear from people that he has to do more.
I know he's done some, as Todd said, but he has to do more.
We have to declare the invasion on our southern border, and we really have to stop it before China and the transnational cartels that run Mexico, as Sheriff Boyd mentioned, take over America.
And that's what we're seeing happen right now.
steve bannon
Ask Sheriff, what can this audience do to help?
This is the most activist audience in all media.
What can the War on Posse do to help you, sir?
unidentified
I think what we need to do is first off, we need to hold our local officials accountable.
Everything starts at the local level.
We have to hold our local officials accountable.
We have to hold our state officials accountable.
No offense, but you forget the federal government.
It's just not going to happen.
There's not enough of them there.
But I think the public needs to put pressure on the politicians.
When the emails start coming in, when the letters come in, that's when politicians pay attention.
And I think that pressure needs to be put directly from the people, en masse, on the politicians that are in power at this point in time.
steve bannon
Sheriff, thank you.
Ben, real quickly, your social media so people can follow what you're doing down there, sir.
ben bergquam
As always, americasvoice.news, and then on social media, frontlineamerica.com is my website, and Ben Burquam on all social media, Getter, BoutHub, Truth, at Ben Burquam.
steve bannon
Sheriff Boyd, you're a patriot and a hero, and this audience has your back, sir.
Go with God.
The amazing law enforcement, the front line down there on this border situation is just a nightmare.
Philip Patrick, what is your social media?
I know you're putting stuff up all the time now.
How do people follow you?
Particularly, look, even if you don't like economics or math or anything like that, now you've got to start understanding this country's economic base is being destroyed.
It's your responsibility to think it through for yourself, and we're going to provide you with all the information and access to the smartest, best people in the world, all for free.
