A problem like Liz Truss.
unidentified
Well, they could solve the problem of Liz Truss by getting somebody besides Liz Truss to take that job, and indeed there's a lot of speculation going on in the UK that that might happen.
But in the meantime, they're stuck with her, and as you know, they've walked back now much of the economic program that they first unveiled just a few weeks ago, changed the Chancellor of the Exchequer and so on.
But fundamentally, the British economy is a weak economy, and they have some real structural and performance issues that they have to deal with.
And this chart, you can see, is really giving you the sort of the punchline, so to speak, which is that real wages, after you adjust for inflation in the UK, have not gone up since before the Great Financial Crisis.
They went down, they kind of came back up a bit, and now with inflation in the UK as well, they're right back where they started.
And you can see on the red line are real wages, which are nothing to brag about compared if you went back further in history.
But at least we got up to about a 15% real wage increase before that red line turned down, which is really inflation, not so much wages.
And so why is this happening?
It's happening really fundamentally because Britain has suffered from low investment.
You can see on the left the pace of their investment versus the pace of our investment.
And it suffered as a result of that from low productivity.
Productivity, which is how much each worker produces, is kind of the holy grail of economic performance.
Because without productivity growth, you really can't have wage growth.
And so you can see again their productivity growth, which was decent until around the financial crisis, really kind of flatlined.
Ours again, nothing absolutely fantastic in our history, but moving up.
And the consequence of all that, as you can see on this last chart here, is their growth rate has been really slow.
And again, you can see if you go back before the financial crisis, the U.S., Germany, the U.K. were kind of tracking not that far apart.
steve bannon
It's never been the greatest economy.
Now I'm going to give you the signal, not noise right there.
The Morning Joe is trying to, Cortez is going to be on the second and Boris, Morning Joe is trying to copy War Room.
He's got charts, not just Steve Ratner, you know, who's running for Secretary of Treasury, just off the top of his head.
No more punditry.
War room has set a new kind of a pace setter here.
You got to bring the charts.
You got to bring the math.
Monday, 17 October in the year of our Lord 2022.
I'm not so sure all that math ties together.
We're going to have Cortez in here in a second to talk about it, but the an object lesson.
For the United States of America is our mother country, the United Kingdom.
And what it is, is that one or two stupid moves that are not totally thought through can send you over into the abyss right now.
Blow up pension funds, blow up the bond market, etc.
Ask Nigel Farage, the great... Nigel Farage!
Question number one, brother.
GB, you're a rock star.
You get the number one hit show.
Everybody goes to your show at night.
When are you getting back on the hustings to sort this problem out in the United Kingdom?
Now more than ever, we need Prime Minister Nigel Farage.
When's it going to happen?
nigel farage
Well, it's not America, Steve, I'm afraid.
We don't have open primaries.
No one's allowed in.
I doubt the Conservative Party will even have me as a member.
So we got, you know, we did it with two very different political systems.
What I can tell you is that after 200 years and having been one of the most successful political parties the world has ever seen, I now believe after what's happened in the last couple of weeks, the Conservative Party is now dead.
It serves no purpose.
What Jeremy Hunt has done today, and bear in mind that he's pro-CCP, he's pro-EU, he's pro-lockdown, he's pro-vaccine mandates, What he's done today would be no different if we had a Labour Prime Minister.
Small companies, the self-employed have been kicked in the teeth.
Our tax burden after today's announcement will be the highest since 1950 when we were going through the post-war socialist experiment.
And this is, this is a globalist coup.
No wonder Joe Biden was so happy at the weekend.
No wonder Schultz from Germany approves of what's happened. Conservatism, free markets, the small...
steve bannon
But Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, how can you sit there, you're playing, you know, the 1980s is calling and wants its supply-side tax cuts planned back. How can you have a supply-side tax cut, these massive tax cuts, when you have not gone back and unleashed energy and you refuse because everybody over there's too afraid to cut spending?
How are you going to finance this?
The bond market told you they puked all over this.
They're not prepared to finance this.
I understand the fantasy of the right that wants massive tax cuts.
But you have to have massive tax cuts.
Ratner just laid it out about productivity.
You need unleashing the powerhouse of UK energy coupled with big cuts in spending.
Then you can talk about tax cuts.
Where am I wrong in that?
nigel farage
Supply-side reform is absolutely needed.
One of the points of Brexit was to get rid of nearly half a century of excessive EU legislation.
Boris Johnson did nothing.
And of course, now with Jeremy Hunt running the country, nothing will happen there either.
The real problem here is not tax cuts, Steve.
The real problem here is the energy bailout, which is three times the size of the tax cuts.
And nobody, but nobody in British politics or British media, well, with some exceptions, Even wants to address that issue.
We are not energy independent.
We've relied on wind turbines.
We've got no gas storage.
We face the prospect of the lights going out in February.
I mean, just in a few weeks time.
So that's the truth of it.
And for those that say, oh, it was outrageous to cut top rate back 45 to 40.
Well, it was 40.
It was 40p the whole of Mr Blair's time.
And we're now seeing a brain drain where other European countries are offering far cheaper rates.
The big mistake, and you put your finger on it, was not to identify any cuts to overall expenditure.
That was the big mistake.
steve bannon
Hang on, and I'm not being facetious.
You came up in capital markets.
You're actually a capital markets guy.
You came to politics and Brexit kind of driven by your understanding of investment in the economy.
Here's the thing when I talk to the people in the Tory party, the British, Boris Johnson, they are almost infantile in their understanding of how an economy works.
That's not Nigel Farage.
More than ever, Your voice is needed in this debate right there.
You've said more intelligence in just a couple of minutes in this interview than I've heard all weekend following the BBC, where they're really detached from reality.
That's the important thing of you with a new party or somebody that can step up and say, hey, this is where the country needs to go, because right now you're you're really on the edge of the abyss.
And I agree with you.
I think the Tories are going to get wiped out.
I repeat the point.
If this was America, I'd throw my hat into the ring now, today, on this interview.
It's not.
I'm an outsider.
However, I do think there may be a historic opportunity to replace the Conservative Party.
markets understanding when are you going to engage in this battle because now more than ever our mother country needs you.
nigel farage
Dave I repeat the point this is America I throw my hat into the ring now today on this interview it's not I'm an outsider.
However I do think there may be an historic opportunity to replace the conservative.
It's not yet but it is coming and I certainly wouldn't rule that out.
But you've got to bear in mind, this is a very old country and getting change is difficult.
With UKIP and the Brexit Party, I had European elections contested under proportional representation.
I managed to win two of them.
But how do I beat a first-past-the-post system that forbids me or virtually makes it impossible for me to raise the right amount of money to campaign?
It's not easy.
I'm going to use my voice in the media.
I will use my influence with the British public.
I will tell people not to give up hope.
And we'll just have to see what force lies ahead.
steve bannon
I met Nigel Farage with Rahim, I think in late 2012.
It was early 2013 when Brexit was just a concept.
Nigel Farage brought about Brexit.
Not Boris Johnson.
It was Nigel Farage 100%.
Nigel, once again, we're going to need you to step up to save your country.
And I want people to remember this interview.
This is when Nigel Farage... The United Kingdom needs Nigel Farage to save the nation from an economic collapse.
Nigel, how do people get to you on GB and your social media, sir?
nigel farage
Yeah, they can watch me on GB News.
Just get the GB News app.
It's free all over the USA and all over the world.
And if you want to get a hold of me directly, it's mfaraj.com.
steve bannon
Nigel, great honor to have you on here today, sir.
Appreciate it.
I think I've got Boris.
Let me bring Cortez.
Cortez, give me a couple of minutes on Farage, the UK, the situation there, this whole concept of tax cuts without budget cuts.
Because ladies and gentlemen, this is as bloody Kansas was to the Civil War, the United Kingdom to what the United States is going to face.
And guess what?
About 45 days, 60 days max, the orgy of spending that's going to come in the lame duck.
It's something you've never seen before in your entire life.
Give me your first thoughts on this, Cortez.
steve cortes
Sure.
No, that's exactly right.
And Americans should be warned by what is happening at the mothership over in the UK.
Because the Bank of England, which was once one of the most revered, if not the most revered financial institution in the entire world, as I told you last week, Steve, the Bank of England was bitch-slapped by the bond market.
And that is the simple reality right now.
Bond markets have never been more important than they are currently.
The stock market is important, and the wealth destruction there matters, of course, to economies around the world, but the bond market matters far more to Main Street, to small businesses, to most Americans, to most of the people out there watching.
And the bond markets are in revolt against this profligate spending, whether it's over the UK and the US.
And I would say that, unfortunately, the UK, it is the only developed country that, on most metrics, Steve, is actually in worse shape than the United States.
The US and the UK are the two worst in the developed world, okay?
That's just the sad reality right now.
But the UK is even worse than us because Boris Johnson might have been an even worse leader than Joe Biden, as hard as that is to believe, or at least about as bad as Joe Biden, without some of the systemic advantages that we have here in the United States.
So you're exactly right, Steve.
Let's take it as a warning, okay?
Let's use it as a motivating force in these next few weeks to make sure that we confirm this massive patriotic populist win, because we are not going to go down the road of the mothership of the UK.
steve bannon
Bob, we're going to get back to Cortez in a minute.
Hey, Cortez, I got to give you a shout out.
We've actually changed Morning Mika.
Ratner brought charts.
unidentified
Charts?
steve bannon
Ratner's bringing charts.
Charts, baby.
People, the War Room posse loves them.
And now it's spread over.
The producers over there are saying, hey, we just can't have these economic guys come up and give me punditry.
steve cortes
If even MSNBC is getting that message, right, that it can't just be about sloganeering and narrative.
It has to be about evidence and data.
And by the way, one of the things that Ratner didn't point out there, but I hope that even MSNBC viewers were able to see this, you know, quite literally on the screen, was the way real wages surged under Donald Trump.
Of course, he didn't mention that, but it was clear as day on the chart.
steve bannon
Hold on, we're going to go back and pull that clip hopefully after the break.
I want my team to pull that.
I was laughing when I had, that's why I cut the mic on.
I said, the surge is during Trump's time.
Hang on for a second, Cortez, and come right back to you.
Let me bring in Boris.
Boris, I don't know if you were able to see it, Boris, but we had Ratner on Morning Joe singing the high, singing high hosannas to Donald Trump's economy.
Give me an update on what's going on.
boris epshteyn
Here's what's going on, Steve.
Honored to be with you.
Honored to be with Apache this morning.
Still in meetings in a undersclosed location, let's put it that way.
I will tell you that the heat is on here.
The three-week period from now until 8 November is going to absolutely solidify the fact that MAGA is in control of this country, that MAGA is ascendant and continuing to rise, and that MAGA, under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,
Are the dominating force to bring this country back from the disaster where, even according to Ratner and Larry Summers, secular Joe Biden and his pathetic, terrible, and I would say deviant team have driven it.
Because here's the deal.
Two years ago, I would have said, well, I'm not sure that the Democrats really on purpose want to go and ruin our country.
Right now, two years in, effectively two years in, it seems like this is a deliberate attack on America.
To ruin our southern border, to ruin the American economy, to destroy our energy dependence, and crush the stock market.
steve bannon
Boris, hang on.
The lead story in the New York Times today, lead story right column, if I can get that straight, is GOP gains edge in poll as economy sways voter.
The sub-headline, wait for it, Democrats see drop in independents and women.
I thought the Democratic Party was the party of women.
I thought abortion was everything, Boris Epstein.
Did I miss something?
Did we miss something in the math, sir?
boris epshteyn
Well, since you're saying that, this morning I had a call up in New Hampshire, and I'm hearing that this is the Dobbs issue, which did provide some enthusiasm to the Democrats, has already ebbed.
And the economy, inflation, gas prices, weaponization of law enforcement have absolutely taken over.
And that is why the MAGA movement, I'm not going to say the Republican Party.
The MAGA movement, which is a driving force, they're beating hard of the Republican Party under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, a voice for historic wins all across the board.
And we're looking not just in Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
We're looking in New Hampshire, Oregon, Washington State, California, New York, New Jersey, all across the country.
And then we take these huge wins and we drive into 2024.
steve bannon
Let's throw Connecticut in there too.
Blumenthal is only a couple of points up and Connecticut 2 and 5 are in play.
Hey Boris, how do people, your morning newsletter is now more important than ever in your social media.
How do people get to you?
boris epshteyn
Let me assure you that possibly we're on offense all day long on all fronts, from the legal to the political to communications.
We are winning everywhere.
President Trump is winning all across the board.
My info, boriscp.com.
Hot on the website, boriscp.com.
Hot on Twitter, at boriscp.
On Twitter, at boriscp.
Hot on social, at boris.
And the hottest on the ground, boris underscore epstein.
Stay strong.
God bless.
All offense.
And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
steve bannon
Thank you, Boris, very much.
Thank you for taking time away.
You know Boris is busy when he can't have his lovely visage on the screen.
All by phone.
Because they're hitting it every day.
The Rising Tide MAGA.
Next, with one and only Steve Cortez.
joe scarborough
So the Democrats, and I find it fascinating that the Democrats are so concerned about Kerry Lake.
She's a threat to American democracy.
And her opponent says that Kerry Lake is a threat to American democracy.
But her opponent won't debate her.
Her opponent doesn't show up in a lot of places in Arizona.
Kerry Lake is everywhere in Arizona.
Kerry Lake went on CNN.
Knew she was going to take tough questions, kind of like Trump.
We would pound Trump.
He would come on the show the next day.
You know this.
Like, showing up is so important.
And I just wonder if... I mean, Tim Ryan's not this way, but it seems like a lot of Democrats are afraid of their own shadow, and that certainly seems to be the case in Arizona.
And if you're afraid to debate your opponent, voters are going to be afraid to vote for you, especially if you want to be governor.
unidentified
No, you're absolutely right.
I think, and that's what I was alluding to with my question to Robert, is that voters feel when you don't show up, not only that you won't represent them, but that you may not believe in what you're saying.
When you look at the fact that we can say, as a matter of factly, that the Republicans may take the House because of how the lines have been redrawn, And that they don't need to win one district that Biden won.
They can just go in the ones that Trump won.
And that does not give the argument that because the lines are drawn and we're not voting and running in these state legislatures, we're losing our democracy.
They have all of the issues they can galvanize with.
They're just not doing it.
And the Republicans are doing it.
steve bannon
Let me have it.
What the Reverend said right there is very important.
We're going to get to it.
Trump.
Districts of Trump won in 2020.
There's 17 seats.
I'm going to be going through those.
Many of those we talk about all the time.
Bognett in Pennsylvania.
Eli Crane in Arizona.
Bo Hines in North Carolina.
But we'll talk about that.
That right there gives us, if you just capture those, it gives you a blowout when to take it.
But remember, we're looking for 40 or 50 seats.
Steve Cortez.
And for the audience, listen, today, we got three weeks and a day to go, right?
It's all about engagement.
The greatest political alignment since 1932 sits right before us.
Just the posse has to engage.
You have to get out the vote, you have to own your vote, you have to work from banks, volunteer, do everything, and in addition, volunteer to be poll workers, poll watchers.
But on this debate issue, they are ripping Katie Hobbs apart.
Her performance yesterday on the scene is a disaster.
She sounds like a 12-year-old Valley girl.
And Carrie Lake, she's like Fresno State.
Anywhere, anytime, any place, any opponent, just bring it.
Right?
She's coming in hot and just bring it, okay?
And people appreciate that.
Remember, today in politics, Cortez, as you know, it's authenticity and fight.
If you're authentic and really believe to the marrow of your bones what you're standing for and you fight and people see you're not going to back down, that is the ticket.
Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
You know, listen, iron sharpens iron, and that performance was just magnificent of Kerry Lake on CNN.
And I say that as somebody who lived in that cauldron.
I worked as a patriotic populist conservative.
I worked at CNN for two years at the request of President Trump.
I'm not going to say that it was fun.
But it was good for me and I hope it was good for the movement, right, to take on that fight because we own the issues.
We should never shirk away from that kind of fight.
That's exactly what Katie Hobbs is doing, and she's showing herself to be a coward who is unworthy of that office, to be the governor of Arizona.
And thankfully, our team, our candidates, are doing incredibly well in these debates all over the country.
You know, on Friday, Hershel Walker, that got a lot of national attention because it matters greatly beyond just the state of Georgia.
And Hershel Walker went into a debate, Steve, against a preacher, okay?
And anyone would understandably be trepidatious about debating a preacher, somebody who literally speaks for a living.
But guess what?
Rookie politician, first-time office seeker, Herschel Walker, Steve, he had total command of the facts, he was persuasive, and he prosecuted the case against Warnock as a radical liberal who does not represent the best interests of the people of Georgia and who's just a toady and stooge of Joe Biden.
It was fantastic.
I believe Herschel Walker won The seat for the Republicans that night in Georgia.
I firmly believe that.
And the debate schedule remains packed.
I'm in Chicago right now.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on.
Before we pivot this, I just want to, because it's not being said enough in conservative media.
Herschel Walker had commanded the facts, the issues.
It was full-spectrum dominance.
And you could tell his opponent was not prepared.
They were living off the thing that MSNBC says that Herschel Walker's had too many hits to the helmet in football.
Herschel Walker won the Senate seat on that debate.
And this shows you also, Brother Cortez, why they don't want to get in debate stages with MAGA Republicans.
Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
No, exactly right.
And by the way, to me, the line of the night, and I thought Herschel did a fantastic job the entirety of the debate, but to me, the line of the night was when he told a preacher, you know, somebody who supposedly is a man of the cloth, he said, why aren't you baptizing those babies instead of aborting them?
It was a moving, powerful, and persuasive line.
Again, and just a virtuoso performance.
And Hershel Walker, new politician, proved to the people of Georgia, proved to the entire country, that he is absolutely ready for primetime, and that he is going to be a fantastic senator for that state.
But we've got a lot of these candidates all over the country.
Another newcomer to politics, J.D.
Vance, is debating tonight for his second debate.
Against Tim Ryan, and he field stripped him in the first debate.
I'm glad there's a second chance for JD to do it again.
And he provides that similar kind of contrast where Tim Ryan has spent 20 years in the halls of power in Washington DC.
He's a lifetime career politician.
All he has ever done is in his adult life.
politics when you contrast that with JD Vance who is an outsider who is a patriotic populist who's been wildly successful in different spheres of life who is bringing the MAGA message to the people of Ohio State that Donald Trump won by eight points.
steve bannon
We're going to see there again I think a very powerful performance tonight and the schedule remains packed. I'm in Chicago right now because- But hold on, hang on, hang on. Before we pivot away there, let's say the Buckeye State, JD Vance incorporated or embraced the message of Steve Cortez, it's inflation immigration.
His pivot, the line of the night there is about the abortion, he pivoted back about the illegal alien thing. And you could tell Tim Ryan could not even comprehend it much less, he couldn't comprehend somebody actually said that in public much less in the debate stage. The debate ended there and Tim Ryan's Senate race ended there just like the opponent to Warnock ended with Hershel
These were dominant debate performances on MAGA, on the basic underlying principles of our movement.
And you had a preacher, and you had a career politician, and both of them couldn't take the incoming, sir.
steve cortes
Yeah, no, exactly correct.
And you're so right.
J.D.
Vance made the case, advanced the cause on the two issues that matter most, that are most salient to regular Americans.
And they are inflation and immigration, the two I's, as I have been preaching for many months.
And they remain, by far, the two most important issues.
And that's not my opinion, Steve.
That's what relevant polling tells us that the American people care most about.
And unfortunately, the economy continues to deteriorate.
So this issue is only getting more important.
It's already the number one issue, but it's growing in its importance because of the disaster that Joe Biden has spurred in this country.
That is the sad reality right now in America.
steve bannon
Let's talk about, by the way, Joe Kent, dominant.
I want to make a announcement, too.
Our own Grace, who's the queen of the trolls, and Captain Ben and Moe are going to be doing live streaming during all these debates.
Walk us through what the debate schedule is the next couple of days.
I just want to make sure people get on their agenda because there's a lot happening now and people have got to be engaged.
And what you're going to see is victory after victory on our issues with our people.
Don't listen to the mainstream media.
We're winning everywhere with our folks and our issue set.
Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
Yeah, so folks, tonight, 7 p.m.
Eastern Time is the JD Vance debate.
All of these can be streamed, even if you don't live in those states.
I want to encourage everybody out there, all the deplorables, to watch these debates because they matter so much nationally.
And then I'm in Chicago for the Darren Bailey vs. Pritzker gubernatorial debate, which is tomorrow night, 7 p.m.
Central Time.
Tomorrow night in Chicago.
And I think that's going to be a great debate.
Steve, you know, listen, Illinois is a blue state that Joe Biden won by 19%.
According to Fabrizio Polin, taken just a couple of weeks ago, right now Pritzker is only up 5% and the gap is closing fast.
And a big part of why that gap is closing, okay, he's in trouble.
Despite his hundreds of millions of dollars that he spent of his inherited fortune on politics, he is in trouble.
And one of the biggest reasons, perhaps the biggest reason that he's in trouble is inflation, which of course is a national problem created primarily by his crony and pal Joe Biden, but made worse in blues jurisdictions like Illinois.
To be specific, gasoline prices, for example, in Illinois are the highest in the entire Eastern U.S.
The only place it's worse is the West Coast.
60 cents a gallon on average More expensive than the average of the other five bordering states of Illinois.
So it is an outlier in the worst ways.
steve bannon
Talk about expanding the battle map.
Governors or senators are within margin of error in Oregon, Washington, Connecticut, Illinois, Vermont, New Hampshire.
These are the bluest of the blue states.
Maybe not New Hampshire, but these are the bluest of the blue states.
And right now you got Blumenthal, Bennett, in Washington, Smiley's making a run.
And these are not all super mega candidates.
But hey, when you're in a blue state, you got to do what you got to do, Cortez.
Illinois is in play.
Connecticut is in play.
Colorado is in play, sir.
steve cortes
As far as the gubernatorial races, and we focus, I think, on this show mostly on the national races, but as far as the gubernatorial races, which we know are incredibly important, if you look at Oregon, Illinois, New York, if you take those three states, two on the coast, one in the center of the country, all of them reliably blue and Democrat in the past.
I believe, Steve, at least two of the three are going to have Republican governors in three weeks who are going to be elected.
Perhaps all three.
And of course, we're fighting for all three.
But I think at least two of the three.
That's amazing.
And it shows us two things, Steve.
It shows us, number one, what Joe Biden has done to the economy.
I mean, the absolute destruction.
That has resulted from his terrible economic mismanagement of this country.
But then number two, on the positive side, Steve, it shows the attraction, the magnetism of our movement, of what patriotic populism is doing.
It is on the march.
Steve, you know, you mentioned that New York Times poll earlier.
What to me was most encouraging about that poll is the way independents have come our way.
Right now, among independents on generic ballot and that New York Times-Siena poll, plus 10 for the Republicans among independents.
Uh, and among women, double-digit lead among independent women.
And by the way, this is fascinating.
Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post, not MAGA, not a friend of ours, I'll put this up on my social media, she just said this about the New York Times poll on her social media.
One striking thing about the cross-dabs, she says women are a dead-even split, meaning overall women, not independents, overall women.
That's the New York Times right here.
unidentified
Women.
steve cortes
Don't forget the great Tudor Dixon up in Michigan.
MAGA's on a roll.
MAGA candidates on a roll.
steve bannon
The Democrats took their shot on abortion. They thought that was going to save them from the economy. It didn't. And now we are rallying. That's the New York Times right here. Women, don't forget the great Tudor Dixon up in Michigan. MAGA's on a roll. MAGA candidates on a roll.
The only way we have this lose it is to have it snatched from our grasp. And we know the Warren posse is not going to allow that.
Cortez on the other side.
We got Joe Reek.
We have Melody Jennings.
We are packed wall-to-wall.
We're going to Vermont also next in the war room.
boris epshteyn
We rejoice when there's no more.
joe scarborough
Let's- Help me understand this better, because it's just so fascinating.
Because I can't quite figure out how Republicans are duped so easily.
You have, let's talk about the two people that right now a lot of people are fascinated by and talking about and Democrats are so concerned about.
Donald Trump, Democrat for most of his life.
Gave millions of dollars to Democrats.
And no, it wasn't like back in the 1990s.
He contributed to Kamala Harris's campaign in 2014.
Right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe scarborough
And then you have Carrie Lake.
A Barack Hussein Obama supporter, right?
So, she was swept up with hope and change.
Just like Donald Trump was a supporter of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
And best friends, it seemed, at times with Bill Clinton.
He loved Democrats.
He attacked Ronald Reagan.
He attacked one Republican after another.
How can it be that Republicans embrace these people who were so hostile to the Republican Party, to conservatism, to everything that they supposedly care so much about now?
unidentified
Well, Joe, that's what's so depressing for those of us on Survivor Island.
I want to play this later and go through it in detail, but we're just so jammed for time.
But this is, Cortez, I got to bring you in here quick and we get to Melody Jennings.
steve bannon
kind of frame. I want to play this later and go through it in detail, but we're just so jammed for time. But this is, uh, Cortez, I got to bring you in here quick and we get to Melody Jennings. I'll ask you to hang around. Uh, this is.
This is the controlled opposition of the Republican Party that won more elections than they lost, that took all your money out there, that had you knock doors, did all that, and we lost the country.
Just look what Joe Biden, this radical, we're gonna have the moms, the parental rights movement in the second hour.
Look, we lost the nation because of the guy sitting there with the hat and everything he represents, okay?
Yes, this is populist nationalism.
And we welcome Democrats.
I come from a Democratic working class family.
We welcome Democrats.
You don't have to have been in the Young Americans for Freedom or everything since you were in sixth grade.
OK, you do not.
This is populist nationalism.
And this is what you remember, the guys in college had all the wearing suits all the time, carrying the briefcases like, who are these guys?
Steve Cortez.
steve cortes
Yeah, Steve, think of how ludicrous it is that Morning Joe right there is mocking a political movement that believes in persuading people, that believes in winning converts to our cause.
And by the way, Steve, confession time.
I'm one of those converts, okay?
I used to be a Wall Street Republican.
And my mind was changed when that orange guy came down the escalator and when he started to say, guess what?
It never was free trade.
It was always managed, but managed against the interests of Americans.
Guess what?
The establishment does not have your best interests at heart and wants to send your children to foreign wars that will make this country poorer and in every way worse off from a security standpoint as well.
So I am one of those converts, and I will say with the zeal of a convert, to populist nationalism, that I'm glad I'm here, and I want as many people to come here as possible.
I want as many Democrats, as many Independents, as many people who weren't involved in any way in politics.
That's also what we're seeing happening right now, Steve, in terms of converts and persuading people.
People who were not politically engaged at all previously, who just weren't involved in the political process, didn't necessarily vote, didn't stay terribly informed, guess what, Steve?
They're becoming massively active and engaged, in large part because they have to, because of what's going on and what inflation is doing to their lives.
unidentified
By the way, that's 80% of this audience.
That's 80%.
steve bannon
Let's bring in Melody Jennings now from Clean Elections USA.
Talk to us about your group.
Why do we need it more than ever?
Some things happened in Arizona over the weekend.
We're trying to get sorted.
We'll show that later.
But Melody, why is it more important than ever than people volunteer for what you're doing?
Explain what you're doing and why do you need people to volunteer and where do they go to volunteer?
unidentified
CleanElectionsUSA.org and don't go anywhere else.
There's some people trying to pull people away from me with weird names.
So be careful where you go.
CleanElectionsUSA.org.
We are gathering across the nation in every Dropbox state.
If you've got Dropboxes outdoors, we're on it.
We're aligning teams of hopefully up to 10, but you know, as many as we can get around each box.
And we are actually making a difference.
We're actually seeing mules be intimidated from doing their thievery.
We're not intimidating voters, but the mules do not wanna be caught on film.
And that's what we're doing.
We're catching them on telescopic film.
We can zoom right in, we can get your face.
So we've got you and we've got some on film to show you.
I know you're gonna show that later, Steve.
I'm excited about it.
steve bannon
Well, we'll have you back on.
There's already some shenanigans going on and people are all over it.
And remember, this is not to intimidate voters.
We want everybody that's legitimate, that's a legal citizen, that's registered in that district to vote.
unidentified
Vote!
steve bannon
Vote away!
Hey, bring it on, right?
In fact, we want more Democrats to vote so then we can have more glee in our feet of you.
We don't want you whining, there was always suppression, suppression.
Come on out!
When all Democrats are coming, come on out, come on down.
You know, CBS News talk of the week and what's going to save them is the college students.
OK, if that's the case, college students, come on out.
Remember, Matt Gaetz was all upset about the TikTok videos on the abortion.
Come on out.
Polling doesn't show that, but we want everybody to come out.
But if you're a mule, you're gonna do ballot harvesting, anything illegal, you're gonna be caught this time.
Because Melody Jennings and her group there, we've got people signing up to be poll workers, election judges, and I don't care if media matters and the left doesn't like it.
It's happening.
It is happening.
And you guys are not going to be able to steal elections.
Because remember, if the Democrats can't cheat, they can't win.
And they know that.
And they know we know that.
Melody, one more time.
To watch the box, where do they go right now?
How do people sign up?
Where do they go?
How do they find more information?
unidentified
It's cleanelectionsusa.org.
It's right there on your screen.
If it doesn't look like that, it's not us.
Come in, join up, go through the emails.
We're going to vet you.
We're going to make sure you're one of us.
That you love America and that you're here to save it, not to take it away from us.
You're going to align with some people in your area that are absolute patriots.
You're going to meet some of your best friends out here at the box and we're going to save America together.
steve bannon
Tremendous camaraderie.
Melody, thank you very much.
Look forward to having you back on here.
unidentified
My pleasure, Steve.
steve bannon
We're going to have some of these volunteer groups on here today.
Everybody to the ramparts.
You got to be part of this.
Uh, Cortez, I'll tell you what, I got to play this.
We're jammed for time, but I got to play the Joe Biden thing in the economy and bring in the great Steve Cortez.
Let's go ahead and hit it.
unidentified
I'm not concerned about the strength of the dollar.
I'm concerned about the rest of the world.
Does that make sense?
Yes, our economy is going to hell.
Internally.
Inflation is worldwide.
It's worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States.
So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries is not so much worse.
And that's how the economic situation of this country.
steve bannon
It's killing me just to okay Cortez. What did he say?
Can you give me that quote between licks?
Between licks, what did he say about the American economy?
steve cortes
Right, and this is important for the audience because the audio wasn't great there in that clip, where he says the American economy is quote, strong as hell.
Strong as hell while he's eating ice cream.
This smug, condescending, aloof fool, this moron who has destroyed American prosperity, has the gall to, between licks of ice cream, tell us that the American economy is strong as hell.
Steve, just recently, right, we got the news out, the terrible news last week, that core inflation in this country is at a 40-year high.
Inflation for shelter and rent is at an all-time high.
Real wages have now been going down for a year and a half straight.
For 18 consecutive months.
Something that has never happened in American history.
Regarding the capital markets, the stock and bond markets both went down for the first three quarters of this year.
Has never happened in American history.
Does that sound like strong as hell?
Certainly doesn't to most Americans.
By the way, speaking of the strength, the so-called strength of the American economy, terrible new data out today.
If we can pull up chart one, please.
I want to show this because this is just off the wire.
This is the New York Federal Reserve Empire Manufacturing Index.
And that goes back to the beginning.
The chart I'm showing there goes back to the beginning of Joe Biden's term.
For context, because that up arrow at the beginning on the left side of the chart, that is the economy that Joe Biden inherited.
That was the handoff from Donald Trump as the Trump boom 2.0 off of the lockdowns was surging in this country and surging, by the way, without any real inflation.
And then the reality of what Joe Biden did by attacking American energy, by the exorbitant borrowing and spending That spurred on inflation and by needlessly escalating this regional crisis in Ukraine into a global conflagration, that's the down arrow, okay?
And we've now had three consecutive months, this is again just out this morning, of the New York Fed Empire Manufacturing Index being negative.
Three consecutive months.
That's the real result of what Joe Biden has done to this economy.
And folks, I also hope, even outside of the substance of what he said there, which is obviously just so clearly a lie, The arrogance of it.
I hope people will take note of that.
The arrogance of him to dare to say that to the American people right now when he must know better, or at least people around him know better.
That arrogance, Steve, is only possible because the American people were not allowed to do their due diligence.
In other words, what I mean by that is they didn't know who Joe Biden really was because his campaign hid him and because big tech and big media completely suppressed the biggest bombshell story Of certainly that campaign and perhaps of all of American history, which was the laptop from hell and what it revealed about the Biden cartel that Joe Biden was the quote big guy and the head of.
If the people had had the chance to really look at him and how corrupt and smug he has been for a half century in Washington, D.C., they would have seen then what they see now, which is an arrogant loser and a fool who is destroying America's prosperity.
steve bannon
We released that with, hopefully, the New York Post did it.
Emma Jo Morris and, of course, the Miranda Devine, the great team over at New York Post, but at the work of the War Room.
And then we drove it two years ago on Friday, was it?
And remember, we're going to connect dots back when we talk about the 20th Party Congress, because Joe Biden was compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, 100% compromised.
Let's go, Cortez, hang on, I got more economic news.
I want to bring in Major Gerald Malloy from Vermont.
The battlefield expands You're just a couple of points down.
Sir, with no money, how have you closed within a couple of points of your opponent in a deep blue state like Vermont, sir?
unidentified
Steve, thank you for having me on again.
Great to be here.
Hard work and Vermonters are ready for change.
Vermonters are upset.
And I think I've told you before, I got it about 85% of the folks that I've engaged well into many, many, many thousands all across 14 counties here.
They see we're in an economic crisis, we've got a crime crisis, even here in Vermont, and we've got a drug crisis, and they're upset.
They want change.
steve bannon
Do they see the Democrats, do they see Biden's agenda really focused on any of the key issues, or looking at marginal issues like January 6th, abortion, things like that?
Where do they think the Democrats are really spending their time?
unidentified
Exactly.
And I've talked about this.
My opponent talks about January 6th, reproductive rights, and threat to democracy.
January 6th, people that broke the law need to be held accountable.
Other than that, it was people exercising their First Amendment rights, reproductive rights.
That's a state issue.
That's it.
And then last week, threat to economy.
You hit the nail on the head there.
What's not being represented, the progressive left has hijacked the Democrat Party and is not representing all Americans.
Or all Vermonters.
And Vermonters see that.
And I will tell you in particular, my opponent, 16 years, they look at what he's done over the last 16 years and they're not being represented.
It's the climate and it's overspending that has brought us exactly where we are right now.
Inflation, recession, and that's hitting the pocketbook.
That's got Vermonters upset.
steve bannon
Major Malloy, can you just hang on for a second?
We're going to take a break.
I got Steve Cortez, I got Joe Reek from MyPatriotSupply.
We are absolutely jammed wall-to-wall, but I'll tell you right now, with the economy where it is, with the issues set where it is, with the 20th Party Congress and Xi throwing down the gauntlet about the path to war in Taiwan, Right now, MAGA is ascendant.
You know why MAGA is ascendant?
The right issue sets and the right candidates.
That's why Major Gerald Malloy is a new face.
And I gotta tell you, getting traction in Vermont and doing it grassroots, door-by-door, village-by-village.
We're gonna take a short commercial break.
Major Gerald Malloy will join us on the other side.
Joe Reid from MyPatriotSupply and the great Steve Cortez to give us his assessment on the global capital markets.
All next in The War Room.

Okay, MyPillow.com promo code WORM.
Got the sheet set $29.88, but you got everything else.
You can't get it on Home Shopping Network because he's been banned.
You can't get it at retail because he's been banned.
You can't get it at Walmart because he's been banned.
You can't get it at Big Box because he's been banned.
Why is he banned?
Because he fought and he's continuing to fight.
For voter integrity and make sure it never happens again.
The big steal that happened in 2020 and to make sure we adjudicate that and let the Democrats deal with it sometime.
I don't know.
Early summer of 2020, just looking down the range.
Okay.
Mike Lindell, mypillow.com.
Make sure you support the armor piercing show.
Let's go back to talk about another army piercing show.
Major Gerald Malloy got them all upset up in Vermont.
Remember we've pierced the, the, she, this is at least the phonic and, and Alex deGrasse in this team.
That New England, New York and New England combined, Lestone, New Jersey, was this kind of block of progressive Democrats.
It's been in Connecticut in play, New Hampshire in play, Vermont in play, Rhode Island in play, New York State in play.
Across the board, MAGA rising.
Major Gerald Malloy, where can people go?
How do people find out where you're going to be?
If your opponent's ever going to debate you, let's go.
What is the basics of the campaign?
How do people sign up to volunteer or maybe even contribute if they're so inclined?
unidentified
Sure, thank you.
DeployMalloy.com, all one word, DeployMalloy.
The volunteers here on my team, 200 plus, have been making a difference.
George Wilson just came here this morning to pick up 75 signs.
You can look at the site, make a donation if you'd like, or get involved and be part of this winning effort up here.
I did have a debate against my opponent about a week ago that went very well.
And of course, we talk about some of the perceptions that come out in terms of insider trading and becoming extremely wealthy as a representative, which Vermonters are not happy about.
I'll be on Howie Carr later this week on Wednesday.
I've got another debate coming up on NBC5 on the 2nd of November.
I'd also ask viewers to go back and look at Steve Hilton on October 2nd.
Steve did a great job laying out my opponent.
Why, he's not the right choice.
We're at a critical juncture here, and the Vermonters are activated, and it's been great.
I heard you talk about independents and Democrats.
That's one of the best days of, you know, campaigning every day, when someone walks up to me, independent, career independent, career Democrat, and says, I'm voting for you.
steve bannon
Sir, one more time.
Deployment lawyer, where do they go?
By the way, you have 200 volunteers a day.
We want four times that many by the end of the day.
We need War Room Posse to step up to the plate, become engaged, get to the ramparts.
Where do they go, sir?
unidentified
DeployMolloy.com and you'll see that you can volunteer, you can get in touch with me, you can support the campaign.
There are a lot of ways you can come up here in Perkinsville.
I'm going up to the Northeast Kingdom later today.
I'm going to drop off a bunch of signs.
I have several engagements.
I'll spend all day in Burlington tomorrow.
But it is grassroots, you're right, and it's going great.
steve bannon
Sir, thank you very much.
Major Gerald Malloy up in Vermont.
I want to turn to Joe Reek.
Joe, I had a very prominent journalist who's gone throughout the country, going to battleground states now.
And let's say this, he is not MAGA.
In fact, if you mentioned Donald Trump's name, he would spit on the floor.
And he told me the most unreported story in this country, the most unreported story is food.
He says everywhere he goes, voters, even more than gas prices and home heating, They're talking about food.
The lack of food at certain stores and the price of food.
He says the food banks are all over the place.
Walk us through MyPatriotSupply.
What can people do right now to lock in some deals?
unidentified
Well, Steve, you know, September to October, we saw 1.2% jump in just in the price of food.
And a lot of that was boosted by a 15.7% surge in the cost of fresh and dry vegetables.
There's also increases in the cost for chicken and eggs.
You know, here at My Patriot Supply, depending on what ingredient we're talking about, our prices shot up anywhere from 15% all the way up to 100% on some of our items.
The largest increase is coming from freeze-dried eggs and chicken right now.
Rising food prices and inflation, they're not going away anytime soon.
Many categories saw double digits over the past 12 months, led by eggs, which surged 40%.
Margarine was up 38%.
Flower, which jumped 23%.
So all of these things are hitting Americans in their pocketbooks.
But today here at My Patriot Supply, we're trying to ease that pain.
We have a special right now on our best-selling package.
Now, this is the one that provides you up to 2,000 calories per day.
You can save up to $250 off that package today.
And if you order by 3 p.m., you'll have that to your doorstep within two days.
It's insane how quickly we're shipping this stuff out right now, Steve.
steve bannon
But I want to talk to you, because one of the things this reporter said, he's a great reporter, a detailed guy.
He says, it's not just the prices are out of control, but he says even the access to the supply.
Do you guys have it?
If people order it, they're going to get it?
Because I know a lot of people are worried about even access to this.
Is it going to be slow getting there?
Are they going to have it when they need it?
unidentified
Well, that's the thing.
That's why it's so important to prepare before emergencies happen.
That's why it's so important to prepare today, because as of today, it's available.
Who's to say what's going to happen in the next couple of weeks?
Because you see what happens.
Anytime there's a major news article with anything that happens over across the seas in the Ukraine, anytime Putin is rattling his saber, people get scared.
People buy this stuff and it flies off of the shelf.
So the best time to prepare, like I've said over and over and over again, is to do it now.
Do it while you can.
Call and speak with our preparedness specialist.
They can help you come up with a plan that fits the needs of you and your family.
So that way you're not left looking for stuff when you need it the most.
steve bannon
Joe, once again, how do people go?
I know you've got consultants that can talk them and explain all this to people.
Where do people go and to get more information about exactly what you guys have to offer?
unidentified
They need to go to mypatriotsupply.com or they can call our toll-free number 866-229-0927, mypatriotsupply.com or call 866-229-0927. In a world where inflation is out of control and costs are soaring to new heights every single day, here at MyPatriotsupply we're doing all that we can to save Americans money on this emergency food.
Take advantage of that $250 off right now, today, while we have it.
Again, if you place your order before 3 p.m., you'll have it on your doorstep within two days.
Nobody else can do that right now in the industry.
steve bannon
Joe, thank you for taking time away from your busy day to do this.
Really appreciate it.
I want everybody to go there, check it out.
You need to start thinking ahead.
Cortez, give me 30 seconds.
You were the first guy to talk to me about food, you and Dave Walsh.
Talk to me about food for 30 seconds.
steve cortes
Well, listen, you know, I mentioned earlier the needless escalation of that regional crisis in the Black Sea into a global crisis for the world.
Fertilizer is such a key component of that, something that we warned about months ago.
The ramifications, unfortunately, are dire.
steve bannon
Steve Cortez on the other side.
We're jam-packed.
An hour or two.
Stick around.
90 seconds.
