And we saw arrive at the Manhattan District Attorney's office to surrender himself just a little after 9 a.m. | |
| this morning. | ||
| As he was leaving his SUV, he shook his lawyer's hands and then he turned to the crowd of cameras there saying, among other things, this is all about 60 days to the day, referencing the midterm election, suggesting that this prosecution is politically motivated. | ||
| So now that Bannon is in custody, he will be arrested and go through the motions. | ||
| He will then appear in court this afternoon They put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty. | ||
| We're expecting the Manhattan District Attorney and the New York Attorney General to hold a joint press conference around 1 p.m. Eastern Time. | ||
| Likely then we will see what these actual charges are. The indictment will be on... | ||
| They put Peter Navarro in leg irons for simply doing his constitutional duty. | ||
| Now they want to put Peter in prison for standing up for Donald Trump. | ||
| Please go to Amazon right now and order Taking Back Trump's America to help fund Peter's legal defense. | ||
| Taking Back Trump's America provides a critical MAGA blueprint to put Trump back in the White House in 2024. | ||
| Buy Taking Back Trump's America on Amazon today. | ||
| If they can put Peter Navarro in prison, they can come for all of us. | ||
| Peter Knaval in for Stephen K. Bannon and you know why I'm here. | ||
| I'm not happy about it. | ||
| Not because I don't love you posse folks. | ||
| It's because of what's happening yet again to a top Trump guy in Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| And how much, how much is enough folks out there before we have a political uprising the likes of which you've never seen? | ||
| Peaceful At the ballot box. | ||
| Posse, look at this through the arc of history. | ||
| They're putting me in leg irons. | ||
| They're raiding panty raids at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Go back to 2016. | ||
| They took out Mike Flynn, Manafort in prison, Papadopoulos in prison, Roger Stone with a frogman raid, the New York authorities going after Trump's tax stuff ad infinitum. | ||
| This is nothing but lawfare. | ||
| Lawfare. | ||
| It's the obscene misuse of our legal system to persecute and prosecute political individuals that they hope to make literally political prisoners. | ||
| This cannot stand. | ||
| Now, if you're as mad as I am, there's only one thing to do. | ||
| The canon of Bannon. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| Action, and the actions that I'm asking you to do today is signal, not noise. | ||
| I want you to focus like a laser beam on these November elections, posse. | ||
| I want you to figure out today, if you're not doing this already, Who you can support in a congressional race, a Republican in a congressional race, that will help us get back the speaker's gavel from Nancy Pelosi and take back the weaponization, unconstitutionally, of the investigatory powers | ||
| What they're doing is just flat out wrong. | ||
| We need to stop that right now. | ||
| And once we get the Speaker's gavel, come January, the tables turn. | ||
| Those investigatory powers will be used constitutionally. | ||
| Fairly, correctly, to find out just what the hell is going on in the rest of this government. | ||
| The Department of Justice, the FBI, the White House, the National Archives. | ||
| This is what's important. | ||
| So find out today who you can help support with time and money. | ||
| And by the way, Everyone in the war room needs to figure out whether they want to help Kerry Lake in Arizona and Blake Masters for Senate, Tudor Dixon for Governor in Michigan and Christina Carallo, Secretary of State. | ||
| Don't forget Fincham in Arizona for Secretary of State. | ||
| Doug Mastriano for Governor in Pennsylvania and Oz for Senate. | ||
| This whole, look, whatever you think about Oz, right? | ||
| He's Trump-backed, and the guy running against him, Fetterman, is the worst kind of woke progressive masquerading, like Joe Biden, as some kind of blue-collar MAGA type. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| We can't buy that. | ||
| So it's action, action, action. | ||
| That's what I'm asking you to do today. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon is yet again In the barrel. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he's got the number one political show and podcast in the world. | ||
| The Democrats rightly fear him. | ||
| They want to take him out. | ||
| Simple as that. | ||
| Let's go now to the economy and brother Steve Cortez. | ||
| First thing I'm going to do with you, Steve, before you say anything, I'm going to take a figurative scissors And figuratively cut that tie off about mid-chest before you start, man. | ||
| You're like freaking me out here, man. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| It's like you're not on Newsbacks anymore. | ||
| Come on, brother. | ||
| You're in the water room. | ||
| It's not pushed all the way up. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come into my world. | ||
| All right, what are we talking about today? | ||
| The stock market and the bond market have been down simultaneously, which signals stagflation. | ||
| The latest data coming in. | ||
| Walk us through Steve Cortez land, the latest read on the economy. | ||
| Yeah, happy to. | ||
| But Peter, just briefly, before I get to the economy, which is critical and which Joe Biden has made a mess of, of course, in this country, I do just want to say what is happening to you, what is happening to Steve Bannon with this prosecutorial abuse, this weaponization of law enforcement against political opponents, it is unconscionable. | ||
| And both you and Steve are brave patriots. | ||
| You are political warriors. | ||
| And we're not going to hear either one of you griping. | ||
| Neither one of you is going to wallow in sorrow and say, woe is me. | ||
| But it is totally unjust what is being done to you. | ||
| And regarding what's happening to Steve Bannon today, it is no coincidence that this happened two years ago, right before the 2020 election, to try to neutralize him as the most, other than Donald Trump, the most effective spokesman and architect of the America First movement. | ||
| It's no coincidence it's happening now, right in front of the midterms. | ||
| This must stop. | ||
| We cannot have political operatives, people like Steve Bannon, arrested every two years before the midterms. | ||
| This is Banana Republic crap. | ||
| Now, speaking of Banana Republic, unfortunately, economically, our country is headed that way, and I'm not exaggerating. | ||
| When you look at the totality of the data and the metrics that show the incredible economic anxiety and angst in the country right now, particularly among middle and lower income folks. | ||
| And what I'd like to point you to today, Peter, because I think this is important, I'd like to give these company updates. | ||
| And when I do this, by the way, I have no opinion on these companies. | ||
| I'm not saying this stock is a buy or a sell, but I'm saying these companies are reflective of a much larger truth that is out there, and that is that the consumer is absolutely floundering right now. | ||
| So Newell, NWL is the ticker. | ||
| If we can pull up Chart number one, please. | ||
| And that's the headline from the Wall Street Journal about Newell Brands says retailers are cutting consumer goods orders. | ||
| And if we can go to chart one, please, and show... No, that's chart two, folks. | ||
| If we can show chart number one. | ||
| We'll get to that one in a second. | ||
| Don't tease it out yet. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Chart number one. | ||
| That is Newell Brands. | ||
| NWL is the ticker. | ||
| You might not know this name, Newell, but you know their products. | ||
| A lot of kitchen products, a lot of outdoor living kind of stuff. | ||
| So they own, for example, Mr. Coffee, Sunbeam, Coleman Coolers. | ||
| They also own Sharpie markers, which Peter Navarro uses to sign autographs, which he does all day, every day. | ||
| So they own a lot of brands in your life, particularly in your kitchen. | ||
| As you can see on that chart, NWL, it has hit, as of yesterday, hit a new 2022 low. | ||
| And to give you an idea of just how bad the pain is for consumer-facing companies like Newell, from the highs of 2022 in January to yesterday's low, down 32%. | ||
| Now, minus 20% is a bear market. | ||
| So this is a bear market on steroids. | ||
| And again, I'm not trying to pick on this company, but I think this is the reality that we are seeing across the board. | ||
| Let me read you a quote from the CEO of Newell. | ||
| This is what he said, quote. | ||
| We have experienced a significantly greater than expected pullback in retailer orders and continued inflationary pressures on the consumer. | ||
| Continued inflationary pressures on the consumer. | ||
| So Peter, as you know better than anybody because of your economic expertise, this inflation is so persistent. | ||
| It's so severe and intense that consumers simply cannot handle it. | ||
| We also got out yesterday, Peter, for the first time. | ||
| I'm going to let you continue with your charts. | ||
| I just want to make one point and have you reflect on this. | ||
| I was stunned at one level when the latest trade deficit data came in. | ||
| Which showed that our trade deficit actually declined. | ||
| And when we were in the Trump administration, we loved to have that happen. | ||
| We were able to engineer that because of our tariff policy and this, that, and the other thing. | ||
| And then it's like I read below the fold there and why that's happening. | ||
| And it speaks directly to your point. | ||
| It's like consumers are so strapped that when they're not buying stuff from Newell and others, a lot of that stuff is imported stuff. | ||
| That's another sign that the consumer is in deep trouble if our trade deficit is going down. | ||
| Counterintuitively. | ||
| Anyway, back to you, sir. | ||
| No, it's an excellent point. | ||
| Look, we want the trade deficit to go down with demand staying high, right? | ||
| Meaning that Americans are choosing to buy American-made products and that they have the option to buy. | ||
| Now, let's look at the consumer in light of housing, okay? | ||
| Because I think this is also incredibly important. | ||
| for the wrong reasons, you're exactly correct. | ||
| It's because of consumer retrenchment, because for now, most of the sourcing for the consumer is still overseas. | ||
| We need to change that. | ||
| That has to be a primary objective of the second Trump term, and we will get to that. | ||
| But for the time being, the consumer remains incredibly imperiled. | ||
| Now, let's look at the consumer in light of housing, okay? | ||
| Because I think this is also incredibly important. | ||
| Redfin, the realty company, they put out a lot of very good data, and they put out some data just yesterday that I think is very telling of the situation in the country. | ||
| And this data relates to first-time homebuyers. | ||
| So now, if we, excuse me, not first-time homebuyers, homebuyers, just refers to homebuyers. | ||
| If we can pull up chart number two right now, please. | ||
| Okay, so these are the trends from 2019 pre-pandemic to right now. | ||
| And by the way, this is for homebuyers. | ||
| So you have already sort of self-selected a group of people which are generally more successful. | ||
| People who are buying homes, particularly given home prices today, In general, have higher incomes, are doing better, have been able to save to afford a down payment. | ||
| So this is already a group that is doing relatively well compared to middle and lower income folks. | ||
| But among homebuyers, incomes have grown. | ||
| As that table shows, incomes have grown almost 7%. | ||
| since 2019. | ||
| At the same time, median home prices have grown 29%. | ||
| That is the reality right now. | ||
| And this is nationwide data from Redfin. | ||
| So your income has grown since 2019. | ||
| That's a good thing. | ||
| It hasn't grown enough. | ||
| Since Biden took office, but it's grown, but it is nowhere near keeping pace at the absolute surge in the price of land, in the price of housing. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Biden's inflation is causing a mass rush of capital into tangible assets, assets like farmland. | ||
| Like single-family homes, which have tremendous institutional participation, something that never happened before. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because that smart money, that smart institutional money, wants protection against Biden's inflation. | ||
| But the reality is, even for folks who are doing well, and again, that's by definition homebuyers, Even for folks who are doing well, they're not doing nearly well enough to keep pace, to be able to afford the things that they want and need in their lives. | ||
| Americans are getting poorer every single day. | ||
| We now have 17 months in a row of declining year over year. | ||
| Average wage, real wage growth in the United States. | ||
| These are the consequences of Joe Biden. | ||
| And we see it in the real estate market. | ||
| So when you combine what Newell and many other consumer facing companies tell us that they are seeing at the consumer level, when you combine that then with this data on real estate and housing, the reality, unfortunately, for the consumer, for citizens in the United States, is that they are in a financial vice right now. | ||
| They are literally taking it from all sides. | ||
| And that's been with a job market, which up until now has been relatively healthy. | ||
| But there are many signs pointing to the job market deteriorating significantly in the coming months as this recession intensifies. | ||
| So these are the consequences. | ||
| And again, as always, I don't bring all this data to the forefront to depress the American people. | ||
| I want the deplorables out there to be educated on what's going on and to have a dispassionate view of the reality that they face. | ||
| But I also want it to motivate everybody, just as they should be motivated by what's happening to Steve Bannon today, as they should be motivated by what is going on to Peter Navarro. | ||
| All of this, the economics, the unjust and politicized DOJ, all of this should be encouraging and motivating to take action because we have an election weeks away, and it is a fulcrum election, and we have to get these America First candidates Over the finish line. | ||
| All right, Steve. | ||
| When we come back of the break, we're going to continue. | ||
| I want to go beyond the consumer issue. | ||
| Look more at some of the manufacturing side. | ||
| Go look around the world, what's going on and what it means for us. | ||
| Peter Kaye Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| You're here in the War Room, where you hear news first. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||

Let's take down the ccp America that's the incendiary new book from former trump trade czar peter navarro available on amazon today | |

| Order Taking Back Trump's America today on Amazon. | ||
| Some of the workers at companies, literally their last act at the factory was to unbolt the machine and load it up to be shipped off to China. | ||
| So, alright, so that was Tim Ryan. | ||
| And that was a clip. | ||
| I actually love that clip from the film I did back in 2011 called Death by China. | ||
| It's on YouTube. | ||
| It's free. | ||
| It was on Netflix for many years. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I have a confession to make. | ||
| I like Tim Ryan. | ||
| At least I like him as an individual and a person. | ||
| And that's the problem here because I think there's going to be Ohioans who view Tim Ryan as their favorite son and might be tempted to vote for him. | ||
| And if you go back to that rhetoric and death by China, I mean, he literally was one of the first Democrats back in 2011 who Was banging on the communist China taking our jobs and manufacturing base issue. | ||
| I mean that clip. | ||
| It's like I went to the factories where he talked about they were burnt out shells where. | ||
| The machines literally had been taken over to come into China and a lot of the times, and this was like so kind of arrogant in your face to the Chinese, they'd hire the workers there to come over to China for a few months and teach them how to use the machines and then send them on their way. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I mean, that's like, and Tim Ryan, like he understood that at the time, but here's the problem. | ||
| Now, with Tim Ryan, he is somebody who has so far lost his way that he doesn't even know what that way was to begin with. | ||
| And the problem started when he decided to run for president. | ||
| I think he pulled like 1% of the vote when it was all done. | ||
| But when you run for president and you're not kind of Your values are not the values of the Democrat Party. | ||
| You got a choice to make. | ||
| You either stay true to who you are, the blue-collar, pro-manufacturing kind of guy, or you pivot and become just another politician with rhetoric. | ||
| And Tim Ryan, during the presidential race, decided to go left of Bernie Sanders on things like cars and this, that, and the other thing. | ||
| And now, I mean, look, it's Bill Parcells, the NFL coach. | ||
| You are what your record says you are. | ||
| And what Tim Ryan's record says he is, is that he's simply a puppet of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who voted for every You didn't see Tim Ryan pull a Joe Manchin kind of play where, for the good of his state, he held firm and maybe got something for that. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Ryan has been all in on the woke progressive agenda, and who better to talk about that race within Ohio between J.D. | ||
| Vance, the Trump-backed candidate, the MAGA candidate, versus Tim Ryan, the Schumer-Pelosi progressive woke, than the guy we had on in the last segment, Cortez, who He isn't just an economist, apparently he's also a political strategist for J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| Steve, wax more eloquent, certainly, than I was on this, because you're right there at the grassroots. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| What's going on with Tim Ryan and J.D. | ||
| Vance right now? | ||
| He's closer than he should be. | ||
| Tim Ryan is a political weather vane. | ||
| And what I mean by that is he faces whichever way he believes the political winds are blowing. | ||
| And he often gets it wrong, by the way, regarding the direction of the wind. | ||
| But that's the reality because his populist rhetoric, his fake populist rhetoric, it is as empty as the Ohio factories that he helped to destroy by supporting the Democratic Party and Joe Biden, who is Principally responsible, perhaps more than any other single American, for what China has done to America broadly, but specifically to the industrial heartland Midwest. | ||
| Since Joe Biden, let's be specific with some numbers. | ||
| Since Joe Biden, as he's then senator, was one of the Principle and foremost architects and proponents of China joining the WTO on terms that were incredibly generous to the junta in Beijing, to the Chinese Communist Party, which was a bipartisan effort, by the way. | ||
| George W. Bush, every bit as blameworthy as the Democrats. | ||
| But Biden again was at the forefront of that movement. | ||
| And from that moment in 2001, China and the WTO Until 2015, the state of Ohio lost 190,000 manufacturing jobs to China, and that is according to the Economic Policy Institute, which is a left-leaning think tank. | ||
| Almost 200,000 family-sustaining, high-paying manufacturing jobs in the Buckeye State lost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| That's Joe Biden. | ||
| That's who he is. | ||
| Now, who is Tim Ryan? | ||
| Well, according to FiveThirtyEight, another left-leaning organization, a poll and analytics organization, he votes 100% of the time in the U.S. | ||
| House with Joe Biden. | ||
| Not 90%, not 98%, 100% of the time. | ||
| So listen, he talks a decent game. | ||
| I'll give him that. | ||
| He talks a decent game when he's back in Ohio, but he's not going to fool the good citizens of Ohio. | ||
| And I'll tell you what just was unearthed. | ||
| You alluded to it regarding Bernie Sanders and Tim Ryan's run for president. | ||
| Believe it or not, Tim Ryan believes that Bernie Sanders is not radical enough when it comes to the Echo Green New Deal agenda of the left. | ||
| Here's what he said, and let me quote from Tim Ryan. | ||
| This is Tim Ryan running for president. | ||
| As you mentioned, his presidential bid went nowhere, but he ran for president and tried to tack hard to the left. | ||
| And this is his quote. | ||
| The way things are moving, Senator Sanders and I got into it in this debate a little bit. | ||
| He was like banning gas cars in 2040. | ||
| In my mind, in all honesty, it's like, okay, great, whatever. | ||
| But if we're waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas vehicles, we're doing something terribly wrong. | ||
| Tim Ryan. | ||
| Congressman Tim Ryan. | ||
| Let me say that last part again. | ||
| If we're waiting for 2040 to get rid of gas vehicles, we're doing something terribly wrong. | ||
| So, he is to the left of Bernie Sanders. | ||
| That is not remotely where Ohio is. | ||
| This isn't a clip I pulled out from 20 years ago, okay? | ||
| This is from just over two years ago, right? | ||
| I mean, this is very contemporaneous. | ||
| That's who Tim Ryan is. | ||
| So, yes, does he speak like a populist when he's at a union hall in Ohio? | ||
| Sure, he does. | ||
| But he goes to Washington, D.C., and he acts as a typical swamp creature, and he gets dutifully in line behind whatever Biden and Schumer tell him to do. | ||
| And when it comes to the eco-radical green agenda, which right now is wreaking havoc all over the world, He, in fact, is at the most leftist extreme of even the Democratic Party, as portrayed, as revealed by his very own word. | ||
| Steve, what's the debate schedule been like between Vance and Ryan? | ||
| Have they gone head-to-head yet, and how's that gone? | ||
| No, they have not yet, but you know, listen, I certainly look forward to it. | ||
| One of the things about J.D. | ||
| Vance, there's so much that I admire about him, but one of the things that I most admire is compared to a lot of politicians, boy, does this guy do his homework. | ||
| I mean, he's as much a policy wonk as he is a politician. | ||
| Now, most people who are policy wonks don't have the personality to be politicians and vice versa, right? | ||
| Most of the people who have the politician personality don't have the hustle and grit to do the policy work, to do the homework. | ||
| In J.D. | ||
| Vance, I think you find this confluence of both that's incredibly impressive and very, very effective. | ||
| Look, J.D. | ||
| Vance had a really tough primary, okay? | ||
| And tough primaries are good. | ||
| They're good for our country. | ||
| They're good for our movement. | ||
| That was a crowded primary full of a lot of money, full of some pretty compelling candidates. | ||
| Now, J.D. | ||
| Vance was the most compelling, which is why I got behind him very early and why, thankfully, President Trump saw in him such promise. | ||
| J.D. | ||
| Vance will take nothing for granted. | ||
| Ohio is a state that certainly leans America first and leans red, but he's going to take nothing for granted. | ||
| He's going to hustle all the way through the finish line. | ||
| And what I also would like to encourage folks about is, as much as I'm into J.D. | ||
| Vance, as much as I admire and support him, this is a country-wide movement. | ||
| We've got some incredible candidates, particularly for the Senate, all of whom are America first. | ||
| All of whom are young, and most of whom are coming from the outside, meaning they had not been involved in politics before, or they certainly haven't run for office before. | ||
| So in addition to J.D. | ||
| Vance, I'm talking about people like Katie Britt in Alabama, Blake Masters in Arizona, Adam Laxalt in Nevada, Herschel Walker in Georgia. | ||
| If we get that entire class of freshman senators over the finish line, they are going to change the entire complexion of the U.S. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senate. | |
| Because you know how that body works. | ||
| And a committed group of small America First patriotic populists can change the whole dynamic. | ||
| Go back to J.D. | ||
| Vance real quick. | ||
| Rob Portman, who retired from that seat, won that state by 20 points the last time he ran as a Republican. | ||
| And that was before Trump turned Ohio's deep red. | ||
| Has Portman endorsed Yes, yes. | ||
| He's fully behind J.D. | ||
| Vance, and the Republican Party has coalesced well, which is not an easy task after a brutal primary, right? | ||
| But the Republican Party has fully coalesced behind J.D. | ||
|

Vance. | |
| McConnell finally anteed up some money, which was good to see. | ||
| We're hoping that Mitch does the same thing for Hershel Walker in Georgia. | ||
| That race, he was talking to Barris earlier, Richard Barris. | ||
| And Herschel has taken the punches and now he's back close to even with Warnock. | ||
| You can take Warnock out if he gets some help from Rhino World up there in the swamp. | ||

But it's always good to be with you, Steve. | |
| I think we're going to see you later today, perhaps. | ||
| But tell us now what your social media coordinates are. | ||
| No, wait. | ||
| I know this. | ||
| Steve on Getter. | ||
| Pretty easy. | ||
| You know, that's why they gave it to me. | ||

| You got the Steve first. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| In part because, well, I'm a baller, okay, and ballers get it, but also so that I can remember it. | ||
| So I'm just at Steve. | ||
| I'm Cortez Steve on Twitter, Cortez with an S. Alright, but you gotta know I got a little clouded getter, so if you come on with a tie the next time, you know, you might lose that Steve handle. | ||

We'll be right back. | |

|
Russ Vought, my former colleague. | |
| That's the incendiary new book from former Trump trade czar Peter Navarro, available on Amazon today. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon calls Taking Back Trump's America a brass-knuckled insider's account of the merciless 2020 fall and miraculous 2024 rise of the White House of Trump. | ||
| Taking Back Trump's America is the blueprint for a new Trump White House that will truly make America great once again. | ||
| Order Taking Back Trump's America today on Amazon. | ||
| Peter K. Navarro in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I've got a great guest now. | ||
| I'm going to bring in my former colleague. | ||
| At the White House, Russ Vought. | ||
| Russ was the Director of the Office of Management and Budget at the White House. | ||
| Arguably the most powerful unknown position to many, but he did a great job while he was there. | ||
| What I'm going to ask Russ to do now for the posse What I'd like to do is briefly summarize all of the spending bills that have been queued up and passed by the Democrats in the Biden regime, and then talk about the coming weeks and months about how Congress is going to have to pass some debt ceiling raises and this, that, and the other thing. | ||
| And the big question underlying all this, Russ, is going to be, what should be the strategy of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy to try to slow that stagflationary bust down? | ||
| So, turn it right to you, Russ. | ||
| No, thank you, Peter. | ||
| And it's very simple. | ||
| There have not been the annual spending bills that fund all of the bureaucracies that the American people interact with. | ||
| Those have not been passed. | ||
| And so they are on the cusp of a deadline at the end of this month in which they're going to have to get spending bills passed or do a continuing resolution to kick the can down the road. | ||
| And what is vital Absolutely vital is that Republicans, and they have the authority to do this because they can block it in the Senate, they cannot allow a lame duck where an omnibus bus An omnibus bill would pass after the election and they cannot allow these full year appropriations bills to be passed. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because we need to have a cavalry come in the new year and have an ability to make these things and push back using the leverage of the power of the purse to push back against the Biden administration on everything from The wokeism that's infected the Department of Justice, what we deal with with regard to the FBI, Reforms to prevent the fact that they continue to bring in refugees who are unvetted. | ||
| There is a host of reforms. | ||
| The wide open border that we see on a daily basis when they have catch and release. | ||
| There's a host of important priorities that have to be addressed in addition to rolling back the spending. | ||
| And some of the spending that can be rolled back is the 80 billion dollars for the IRS to have audits as far as the eye can see. | ||
| $40 billion for the EPA to conduct criminal investigations of people who build ponds on their ranch land in violation of the waters of the United States. | ||
| So you get a sense of we have very little in the minority. | ||
| You don't have a lot of leverage points to beat back against the administrative state. | ||
| It is absolutely vital that Republicans in the Senate Do not allow a full year appropriations bill and allow the cavalry to arrive in January. | ||
| And this is a totally doable thing. | ||
| Even if you're not as conservative as you and I, Peter, are. | ||
| You're not a watcher of the war room. | ||
| You're just kind of a middle-of-the-road Republican senator. | ||
| We're not calling for something that is ahistorical that's never been done. | ||
| This is actually pretty common at times. | ||
| And so, no lame duck. | ||
| People should call their congressman, their senator in particular, and say it is absolutely vital for you not to allow a lame duck where big spending can occur or big spending before an election. | ||
| All right, so let's break some of this down here. | ||
| First of all, this lame duck omnibus bill, I think what you're referring to there Is the possibility where they only have to have 50 votes not two-thirds for that? | ||
| Am I got that correct? | ||
| The beauty of this strategy is that they can't do this with 51 votes. | ||
| They have to pass normal spending bills, annual spending bills, to be able to get the 60 votes. | ||
| But the problem is Republicans have given them those 10 votes that they need to overcome the filibuster. | ||
| So that's why, you know, Senate Republican leadership have the authority to be able to control this, to set this up the way it's necessary for the cavalry to come. | ||
| Is there any implicit idea here that in order for them to execute this strategy, Russ, they'd have to threaten to shut down the government? | ||
| And if so, how would that play before the election? | ||
| Is that part of the strategy? | ||
| It's not in this case because, you know, if we were saying we need to have all of these policy wins before the election, we need to Get the administrative state under control right now, then that's now an opportunity. | ||
| That's a possibility. | ||
| But if you're saying, look, we want to have the cavalry have an opportunity to come in January and get this thing under control or really to start the fight with the Biden administration with increased numbers. | ||
| All you're doing is saying, look, we're going to kick this can down the road a little bit. | ||
| And what is Congress good at? | ||
| They're good at kicking the can down the road. | ||
| And so this is why I say it's not unprecedented for having these short term extensions that sets you up to ensure that you don't pass these bloated spending bill now, where there's no fight right now to push on some of these cultural battles. | ||
| And we've got to make sure there's no lame duck. | ||
| So no senator can come to us and say, Peter and Russ, you guys are pushing for a shutdown right before the election. | ||
| No, we're not. | ||
| So, again, let me break this down so I understand. | ||
| You're deep in the weeds on it. | ||
| What is the vote that has to be taken, say, over the next weeks or months to initiate that? | ||
| Are you pro-extension? | ||
| Or against the extension? | ||
| I would do a short-term, clean extension. | ||
| If you can't get any progress, you can't do any progress along with our priorities to prevent a long-term deal, I would do a short, clean extension into January, let the cavalry come. | ||
| The extension has to go into January? | ||
| The extension is of what? | ||
| What's the extension of? | ||
| All of your federal spending that you do on an annual basis. | ||
| So you've got everything from the military to the Department of Education, all of that on an annual basis, your non-entitlements that are on autopilot. | ||
| So the idea is to get it extended into January, and then in January be able to claw back some of this stuff like the IRS, $80 billion. | ||
| I didn't know the EPA was getting $40 billion. | ||
| Are they getting that up front as well, like the IRS? | ||
| Yeah, and they've got language in there that say they want it to be pushed out the door in a number of, you know, two months. | ||
| Now, those deadlines are hard to meet, as you and I well know, but, you know, they want to get this money spent as quickly as possible. | ||
| I mean, Russ, I don't know if you or I have ever seen anything quite like this, where these dollars, these tax dollars are being weaponized by agencies of government To go after people. | ||
| I mean, as I understand it, they're more than doubling the amount of people working now at the IRS. | ||
| At the same time, they're buying weapons for the IRS. | ||
| I mean, who are these people coming for? | ||
| The EPA, yeah, it's ranchers. | ||
| I mean, have you ever seen anything like this? | ||
| Who's behind that? | ||
| I always kind of wonder, like, who are the people who come up with this stuff? | ||
| Because it's so un-American, and it's going to just piss people off when these people start arresting people. | ||
| Yeah, I think this is the thing that's different about the age that you and I are living in, and you know it very firsthand, of weaponized government. | ||
| Is that we're not dealing with just kind of a budget cutting exercise here. | ||
| We have a ton of fiscal irresponsibility and we need to get our house under control. | ||
| But we're dealing with woke and weaponized government. | ||
| And it's two of those things. | ||
| It's wokeness with a particular viewpoint about how you're going to live your life. | ||
| And is America a good country? | ||
| And are we going to level the entire country so that we can't ever have exceptionalism within the American people? | ||
| Or, and weaponized. | ||
| And it's not just the FBI, it's not just the Department of Justice, it's not just the NSA surveilling our phones. | ||
| It is at the EPA. | ||
| It is at the Interior Department that intentionally denies an important renewal of a license so that an oyster company shuts down. | ||
| Drake's Oyster Company. | ||
| You have example after example of the administrative state weaponized against the American people, and that's why I think we have a political shot at reining this in, because people feel it in their own life. | ||
| You know, one of my deep regrets for our four years there at the White House is that we weren't able to clean. | ||
| Some of those career bureaucrats out of the bureaucracy like we should. | ||
| They were just like hanging in the weeds, ready to rear their ugly head once Biden got back into the White House, this time as president. | ||
| Is there any sense, Russ, of remorse or realization of the strategic error those The kind of the Lindsey Graham wing of the Senate is about their acquiescence to the Democrats. | ||
| I mean, they clearly got outmaneuvered. | ||
| Do they understand that yet? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| You know, the Senate does not have a governing strategy of using leverage points. | ||
| And that is a consensus that we are trying to build. | ||
| One of the reasons our organization focuses on these issues is you can't govern without leverage points. | ||
| And you can't divide a government without leverage points. | ||
| If you don't use them, if you allow the debt limit to be kicked into next year, which is when that expires and we need to be prepared for that, if that's what continues to happen, all you do is vote. | ||
| And you vote in the minority. | ||
| And you give a speech. | ||
| But that's not what the American people vote you into office to do. | ||
| With all of your might, lead this country and try to be statesman with the leverage points that you have and actually change the direction of the river that's going right now downstream inexorably. | ||
| See, that's what puzzles me. | ||
| I mean, I remember in the early stage of the Trump administration, listening to Mitch McConnell talk kind of behind closed doors and bragging about how disruptive he was to Obama. | ||
| And in Obama's book, he talks about how McConnell was able to continually slow him down. | ||
| Has Mitch lost a step? | ||
| Has Mitch kind of just so anti-Trump that he's like giving in to Democrats? | ||
| What's going on with McConnell, Russ? | ||
| Because clearly he doesn't embrace our values at this point. | ||
| Yeah, I think that Senate Republicans have a distaste for what they view as political risk. | ||
| And Washington D.C. | ||
| is a cartel in many respects. | ||
| And a cartel doesn't want that risk. | ||
| And so they will short the amount of policy objectives that they can accomplish because they are trying to get rid of the risk in the same way a business would. | ||
| And you and I, we come to Washington D.C. | ||
| and we say, of course we're going to have risk. | ||
| That's what politics is about. | ||
| And we can manage that risk within accomplishing our objectives, but we have to accomplish our objective. | ||
| And unfortunately, we have an institution in the United States Senate that over a long period of time, and we're seeing great manifestations of it right now, tries to govern without that risk and tries to not And to ultimately short on what can be the art of the possible is and that's really why we're in the hole that we're in across the board and why we need additional folks like J.D. | ||
| Vance and Blake Masters to join their ranks and be able to seize these because one senator in the United States Senate can change everything. | ||
| And there's a limit to what each one of them can bear. | ||
| My brother, quick 10 second social media. | ||
| You are a patriot, sir, and you're absolutely right on that. | ||
| Thanks, Peter. | ||
| They can get me at AmericaRenewing.com or at RussVote on all the socials. | ||

| No leg irons, at least today. | ||
| I want to talk a little bit about that and Stephen K Band. | ||
| But first, Posse. | ||
| Getter. | ||
| Getter is the Twitter killer. | ||
| If you're not on Getter, please check it out. | ||
| If you do social media, if you do Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, check Getter out. | ||
| Getter does everything that Twitter does. | ||
| Plus, it's got really cool features, particularly The live stream, and it's a more elegant platform, and what I've done is, I have a Getter account, it's RealPinovaro, same on Twitter, RealPinovaro, and if you follow me at all, you'll notice that I always post the same content at the same time on Getter and Twitter. | ||
| What I've noticed consistently is that Getter gets consistently greater social engagement. | ||
| And whenever I put on anything, which might give even a whiff of whatever to the twitch sensors, I notice kind of a dramatic reduction in engagement. | ||
| On Twitter. | ||
| And it's like, what their algorithms do, and we learned this yet again when Zuckerberg did his Facebook interview with Joe Rogan, and they were talking about how they suppressed the laptop from hell. | ||
| Real information at the command of the FBI. | ||
| They said they do it with an algorithm. | ||
| What they do is whatever is like Should be up at the top, they push it down, right? | ||
| So, in my case, just last week I tweeted an article from the Washington Times, right? | ||
| That Stephen Hathaway and I did on hydroxychloroquine. | ||
| Hydroxychloroquine could have saved anywhere from $570,000 to $810,000. | ||
| lives of the million Americans who died. | ||
| That's just a fact based on the latest scientific evidence from over almost a half a million subjects in 51 countries, okay? | ||
| 57 to 81 percent possible reduction in mortality rate, hydroxychloroquine in early treatment. | ||
| Yeah, so I put that up on Twitter and Getter, and of course they didn't take it off, But they suppressed the information. | ||
| You can't let them do that to you on Facebook and Twitter. | ||
| You've got to do alternatives, whether it's Getter or True Social or both. | ||
| I mean, hedge your bets here, folks. | ||
| And Getter, for me, is the Twitter killer, and that's the one that I spend most of my time on. | ||
| That's the one that Stephen K. Bannon Spends all of his time on. | ||
| He posts very frequently on Getter, so check it out, the Getter site. | ||
| The other thing you saw come leading in was the ad for the Taking Back Trump's America book. | ||
| That's real. | ||
| They put me in leg eyes. | ||
| They strip-searched me. | ||
| During my White House years, For four straight years, I've only been accused of saving lives and creating jobs, yet I wound up in leg irons. | ||
| The Taking Back Trump's America book is a really important watershed here for this country in this upcoming election. | ||
| Taking Back Trump's America, it's going to be officially out on September 20th. | ||
| But the game, name of the game here, Posse, if you haven't ordered it yet on Amazon, please do that today. | ||
| Do that right now. | ||
| Send a copy to your friend. | ||
| Get the audio edition. | ||
| And the reason why is threefold. | ||
| One, it's a blueprint and battle cry for taking back the Trump White House. | ||
| In 2024. | ||
| Check that box. | ||
| Number two, and this is the most important thing. | ||
| This is the canon of Steve Bannon. | ||
| We have to take back Trump's America by taking back the House of Representatives from Nancy Pelosi as Speaker so they can stop them from weaponizing unconstitutionally the investigatory powers of Congress. | ||
| We can't let them do that anymore. | ||
| Pelosi and Schiff and Raskin and Luria And they've been doing that since 2018, trying to impeach Trump, get him out of office, coup d'etats, and oh, by the way, putting both me and Steve Bannon in leg irons as part of their weaponization. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| We have to do that. | ||
| And look, this is a critical time in our nation's history. | ||
| We've seen through the arc of of the Trump candidacy, presidency, and post-presidency. | ||
| First, a preemptive attempted coup by the FBI and the Democrats with the fully discredited Russia hoax. | ||
| The whole purpose of that was to make Trump lose the election. | ||
| Throughout his four years, as they put Trump people in prison, Or made him spend a bunch of money like Mike Flynn and got him out of the Trump administration. | ||
| And then they had the successful coup. | ||
| I mean, let's say this. | ||
| The FBI engineered a successful coup of the Trump White House in the 2020 election. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Why do I say that? | ||
| Because they suppressed that laptop from hell, misinformation, About Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the Biden crime family. | ||
| If people had known that in America, Trump would still be in the Oval Office today. | ||
| We wouldn't have all this stuff going on. | ||
| And now, another preemptive coup by trying to stop Trump from running and Stephen K. Bannon, Stephen K. Bannon, from spreading the gospel of MAGA and populist economic nationalism To this country. | ||
| If Democrats fear them, him, that's why I'm here today, not Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| But Posse, we gotta support Steve. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| We'll see you in the 5 o'clock hour Eastern Time. |
