Come back clean. Every test has come back good. | |
| So we've got hundreds of tests and thousands of data points from multiple sources, and they all show that the air and the water quality is good. | ||
| Now, if folks in this community want additional air testing in their home, they'll get it. | ||
| If folks in this community want additional water testing, they'll get it. | ||
| If folks in this community want bottled water, they're going to get it. | ||
| How comprehensive are the tests? | ||
| I ask that because some residents have complained about burning eyes, sore throats, headaches, and other types of ailments. | ||
| This has been a traumatic experience. | ||
| All the taxology reports, all the testing shows that we're clean. | ||
| However, if folks are experiencing symptoms with which they're not accustomed, I would strongly encourage them to go see a trusted medical professional. | ||
| If East Palestine was your home, would you have come back? | ||
| Would you bring your children back right now? | ||
| Yes. Yes. | ||
| I've come back multiple times. | ||
| I'm drinking the water here. | ||
| I've interacted with the families here. | ||
| I know they're hurt. | ||
| I know they're scared. | ||
| I know they're confused. | ||
| They're looking for information and who to trust. | ||
| I encourage them to ask questions. | ||
| I think when they really dig into it, they're going to see that all the testing Whether it's done by the EPA or local health officials or our independent contractors. | ||
| This is Cortez. | ||
| Cortez, you've got to help me out here. | ||
| My head's blown up. CNBC is a joke. | ||
| The testing and all that, that's fine, but that's another misdirection play. | ||
| Ask the question. Dude, why did you do it? | ||
| Who gave you the authority to do it? | ||
| What is your... | ||
| Boy, your wife is really sending the signal now. | ||
| Now I can't hear it. | ||
| Tell me about CNBC and the lack of tough questions on this guy and letting him just sit there and promote, oh, we can get tested, we'll send him bottled water, sir. | ||
| Right. CNBC, by the way, I worked there for a long time. | ||
| It used to be a fantastic network. | ||
| I think it really educated the American public and American investors. | ||
| It sort of pulled the veil back. | ||
| And allowed regular folks to see what was happening on Wall Street. | ||
| But that's the CNBC of the past. | ||
| It is now all narrative. | ||
| It has now become firmly part of the larger NBC network that includes, of course, MSNBC. And CNBC, unfortunately, acts a lot more like MSNBC than it ever used to, its commitment to political narrative. | ||
| And unfortunately, leftist propaganda for big business, including Norfolk Southern, unfortunately. | ||
| And what we saw right there from Alan Shaw, and again, I think he's somebody who needs to become famous, if not infamous right now, because periodic visits And some platitudes, borrowing from Joe Biden, some platitudes, that's not going to cut it. | ||
| He should be living there right now. | ||
| He should be staying in eastern Ohio. | ||
| If he says the water is safe to drink, he should be doing so with regularity on camera. | ||
| He should be meeting regular folks the way that the great Benny Johnson did. | ||
| He should be walking around, visiting them at their homes, offering any help That Norfolk Southern can possibly provide. | ||
| Again, this is a company with a $50 billion market cap. | ||
| Norfolk Southern can afford to go the extra mile to help the people of that community, and it must. | ||
| It absolutely must. What we've seen is a total dereliction of duty from Governor DeWine, from Washington, D.C., regarding EPA Administrator Regan, as well as Secretary of Transportation Buttigieg. | ||
| And then certainly also from the private sector, from Alan Shaw. | ||
| So all of them, all of them need to do far, far better to try to help the people of this town. | ||
| The people of this town did nothing to deserve this, Steve, okay? | ||
| This happened to them. | ||
| This was inflicted and thrust upon them. | ||
| This terrible tragedy, this created crisis. | ||
| And we continue to see several created crises, plural, unfortunately, During the Biden regime, during the Biden administration, that is the reality right now on the ground as experienced by regular American citizens. | ||
| I tell you what, Steve, we'll get to the immigration thing tomorrow because I want to take our time to go through this because the Biden administration is even trying to do a misdirection play on some policy stuff. | ||
| So we'll get to this, how we're changing, not just on the war, on the whole view of the country on this immigration, the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| Cortez, how do people get to your content? | ||
| Yeah, please follow me on the Twitter. | ||
| I'm at CortezSteveCortez with an S. And I have a brand new article up. | ||
| It's linked there. A brand new article up on this entire credit card fiasco. | ||
| Brother, thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| You bet. Thank you. We've got a lot to get to, and we're going to get to it all. | ||
| I commit to you. Let's go to – I've got Michael Patrick Leahy. | ||
| Leahy, I think I sent you the White House overnight. | ||
| He's made five phone calls or conference calls from Warsaw. | ||
| They're so panicked. | ||
| about Trump being the forcing function, about Trump driving action. | ||
| Tell us where your reporting's going. | ||
| Particularly, DeWine said today, I think DeWine's putting out that he's talking to the Attorney General about legal action. | ||
| What's the latest from the Ohio Star? | ||
| Well, Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania led the way yesterday with a criminal referral to the Acting Attorney General. | ||
| That put some pressure on DeWine. | ||
| I anticipate that, ultimately, The Attorney General Yost of Ohio will undertake a criminal referral against Norfolk Southern. | ||
| A couple of points that are interesting here for your audience, Steve. | ||
| Note that President Trump today is scheduled to take a trip to the fire department in East Palestine. | ||
| My guess is he's there to give encouragement to Keith Draybeck, the chief of the fire department there, who EPA... You know, yesterday tried to throw under the bus as the person who made the decision for the control burn. | ||
| Also, interestingly enough, you saw that clip from CNBC yesterday, or was filmed yesterday, and it was apparently filmed in East Palestine with Alan Shah. | ||
| Guess what else happened yesterday? | ||
| A press conference with DeWine, with Biden, with DeWine, with the Governor Shapiro, and with Regan. | ||
| Guess who wasn't invited? | ||
| Alan Shaw. But aren't they trying now because they're coming up now and saying unified command. | ||
| I'm going to get Clark in here in a second to walk through. | ||
| They announced they're going to do a unified command. | ||
| And they're saying that they actually went rogue. | ||
| But that's not reality. | ||
| Yesterday's press conference was an exercise in those guys' misdirection plays to get you to look somewhere else, obviously. | ||
| Norfolk Southern is responsible for so much here. | ||
| But it was the federal government's responsibility. | ||
| As soon as they were notified at the National Command Center, and they were, someone in our engine room sent us, they notified the National Response Center at, I think, 2353 on that Friday evening. | ||
| Boom, they went right to them. | ||
| Okay? A couple hours after doing it, but they went right to them. | ||
| The whole mechanism was supposed to kick in place. | ||
| Those guys that were up there at the microphones yesterday are just as complicit in this as Norfolk Southern. | ||
| Why? Because the derailment's the derailment. | ||
| It's the actions after the derailment, and this is why they interviewed these people and they refused to ask them the questions. | ||
| The Guardian was there, and they asked these guys questions, and they just say authorities. | ||
| They give this kind of broad term, okay? | ||
| It was the responsibility of those people in the microphone yesterday. | ||
| It's not the fire chief's responsibility, and quite frankly, Norfolk Southern does not have the authority just to go ahead and do a controlled release and a controlled burn, or an uncontrolled burn, as Mike Adams of Natural News says. | ||
| When are people going to start asking tough questions on this, Leahy, and stop laying these worms off the hook, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I think we should look to the Attorney General of Ohio, Yost, to dig into that, number one. | ||
| And then I think your guest, Jeffrey Clark, the former Assistant Attorney General in the Trump administration, suggested, and I think it's quite right, that the House and the Senate should immediately conduct hearings and And invite Michael Regan, the EPA administrator, who has the legal responsibility to put the on-site command team together and have the on-site coordinator there with the authority to make those controlled burn decisions. | ||
| Get him before your committee and ask him those questions. | ||
| Why did you abdicate your authority at East Palestine, Ohio? | ||
| Michael, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're bringing Jeff Clark now. So Jeff, you saw the press conference yesterday. | ||
| It's just pure obfuscation, right? | ||
| And of course Shapiro, after watching the show, goes, yeah, I've sent a criminal referral to my attorney general to kind of get ahead of it. | ||
| Now we hear that DeWine today, he's all active. | ||
| This is all because Trump, the only reason they were there is because Trump's there today and they get announced on Friday. | ||
| But, Jeffrey, the engine room sent me that the Norfolk Southern, by federal regulation, notified the National Response Center at, I think, 2353 on that Friday night. | ||
| Isn't it supposed to kick in? | ||
| The unified command is supposed to start immediately. | ||
| Michael Regan at EPA yesterday, he makes it like a big deal. | ||
| I'm doing a unified command, and they're going to have to pay three times as much. | ||
| Screw you, dude. That's not the point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not the point, Jeffrey Clark. | |
| So, Steve, again, good to be here. | ||
| Look, your audience is very sophisticated. | ||
| I think they like to hear the details. | ||
| So let me explain why this is directly on Joe Biden under federal law and directly on Michael Regan, the EPA administrator. | ||
| So this is Clean Water Act Section 33, it's 33 U.S.C., I'm sorry, 1321 C2A. So bear with me. | ||
| If a discharge or substantial threat of a discharge of oil or a hazardous substance, let me pause there and say vinyl chloride is listed as a hazardous substance under EPA regulations at 40 CFR 300.4 on a table, from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility. | ||
| So this is an onshore facility. | ||
| An onshore facility is defined in 1321A10 as including rolling stock. | ||
| That means trains. Is of such a size or character to be a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States, including but not limited to fish, shellfish, wild fish, or other natural resources, and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the United States? | ||
| Get this. This is the kicker. | ||
| The president shall direct all federal, state, and private actions to remove the discharge or to mitigate or prevent the threat of the discharge. | ||
| Now, that means that Congress placed this squarely on the shoulders of the President of the United States. | ||
| Now, there is an executive order that delegates, depending on where a spill or release happens, Either to EPA for land-based releases like this one or to the Coast Guard for releases at sea. | ||
| Here we're clearly talking about a land-based release. | ||
| So the president, the buck stops with him, as Harry Truman would say, under this statute. | ||
| And he's delegated to Michael Regan and he clearly muffed this up big time, Steve. | ||
| He really blew it. | ||
| They did not exercise exclusive authority over this as federal law requires. | ||
| Hang on. Hang on. | ||
| This is great. We're going to go back over it because this explains the five phone calls from Warsaw to this team, including Regan. | ||
| This makes sense of why Regan was told, turn the plane back. | ||
| Don't go to Africa on the cult, the religious cult climate change boondoggle tour with the Hollywood celebrities. | ||
| You've got to get back there. | ||
| But I just want to be very specific, and I want you to read that again. | ||
| From the moment they're notified by the company at the National Response Center, Right? | ||
| This kicks in and it's black letter law. | ||
| There's a policy and then an executive order. | ||
| Since the president can't do everything, he delegates it to guys at work and directly report to him. | ||
| Am I correct in that? | ||
| That's absolutely correct. | ||
| Hear the EPA administrator. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Walk me through what should happen immediately upon getting the notification. | |
| The statute is super clear. The statute's super clear. | ||
| It says the president shall direct all federal, state, and private actions. | ||
| It doesn't say the local fire chief shall direct those actions, Steve. | ||
| So the attempt to push this off onto the fire chief is just laughable. | ||
| It's contrary to federal law. | ||
| Before we go to break, and Leahy, please hang on too. | ||
| Here's what I don't get. | ||
| Why would Mike DeWine and Josh Shapiro, who the people around him, because each state has an EPA, why would they not know that immediately and start saying, hey, the Fed's got to take over here? | ||
| Why did the states just not do anything? | ||
| Why was the Unified Command only announced yesterday? | ||
| And of course, the whole media just ran with it. | ||
| Why did the local state governors, two savvy guys, you don't get savvier than Shapiro and DeWine, why did they do nothing? | ||
| It seems to me, Steve, like they hoped that, you know, this would not be a big deal, which is, you know, it took obviously more than a week for this to build. | ||
| And, you know, before that, I think they were hoping it would go away. | ||
| And it's Shapiro who was smart enough to realize, uh-oh, this isn't going to go away. | ||
| So he, you know, burst out of the gate first among the governors to say he's going to take serious action. | ||
| Serious action being a criminal referral. | ||
| Okay, hang on for one second. I got Jeff Clark, who was the assistant attorney general under President Trump in his first term for all things environmental. | ||
| We got Michael Patrick Leahy from Ohio Star. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We're going to be back. We're going to get down and lay out the foundational elements for President Trump's trip this afternoon to East Palestine. | ||
| Remember... He's a driver of action. | ||
| We call him a forcing function. | ||
| And he has now forced it. | ||
| And of course, we're keeping track of all the lies and misrepresentations, okay? | ||
| Because there's criminal liability here. | ||
| At the governor's level in Ohio, at the governor's level in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, all of it. | ||
| At the EPA, guys, all up and down. | ||
| And of course, Norfolk Southern. | ||
| Short break. Back in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCB. Here's your host, Stephen K. Back. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| If you want to get more of this and get it in person, be at CPAC with us for the four days, 1st through 4th of March next week. | ||
| Go to CPAC.org slash worm. | ||
| Get your discounted ticket right now. | ||
| We want to see everybody. We want to have a huge audience for our live shows and get to meet you and get all the energy and the feedback, just like we did in Phoenix at Turning Point and we did Dallas with the regional CPAC Dallas from last summer. | ||
| I want to go to Jeffrey Clark. Jeffrey, the engine room informs me that a couple of things that are public now, that Norfolk Southern did notify the National Response Center at 2353, as they're required by federal law to do when they have this type of mishap, | ||
| that at 0200, EPA announced they actually had boots on the ground, but that they did not call for a unified command until yesterday afternoon right before the press conference where they announced they were on scene commander in regions five and three. | ||
| I just want to make sure we're very specific here and precise. | ||
| The legitimate or not, the guy that occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in this case, would be Joe Biden. | ||
| He's responsible by federal law for everything that happens there. | ||
| He delegates that, obviously, as he delegates many things he should, by executive order to EPA. But he's still, the buck stops with him by federal law in the chain of command. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Correct, sir? Correct, Steve. | |
| Look, this whole disaster has been, you know, one kind of rolling forth train, if you will, after another. | ||
| After I started talking on your show about the federal on-scene coordinator, then magically EPA shortly thereafter had a website talking about federal on-scene coordinators in East Palestine. | ||
| Then I said, yeah, but what about the unified command? | ||
| Then yesterday they come forward and they say, oh, we established a unified command. | ||
| And then it just shows how much this show is driving this. | ||
| And then, you know, they indicate that, well, who's running the unified command? | ||
| Well, the incident commander was the local fire chief. | ||
| I mean, it's laughable. | ||
| That's why, you know, now I've laid out that the statute actually provides that it's the president who directs all of the federal, state, local, and private actions. | ||
| And as you noted at the top of this segment, he delegated that to the EPA administrator. | ||
| And, you know, we've seen that guy at the press conference. | ||
| Does he look like he understands Clean Water Act Section 1321C2A, Steve? | ||
| I don't think so. And CNN and MSNBC are right there, could ask all the questions, the questions that matter, not the spin questions. | ||
| The media, by the way, it's all about narrative, but they're also dumb and lazy. | ||
| I'll tell you who's not dumb and lazy is Michael Patrick Leahy and the team over Ohio Star, because Michael Patrick Leahy, correct me if I'm wrong, because we're going to lay out the whole timeline here, because there's going to be not just civil This is going to be criminal responsibility. | ||
| You actually went, the Ohio Star went to the EPA, correct me if I'm wrong, was it last Tuesday? | ||
| It was Tuesday a week ago that you went and said, hey, can you explain to me who's the on-scene? | ||
| And you got no response until Trump announced he was coming, and then on Monday, I think it was on Monday or Tuesday, basically a week later, how did they respond to you, sir? | ||
| Well, they finally told us on Tuesday, Tuesday morning, that the person responsible for the controlled burn decision was the fire chief in East Palestine, Ohio. | ||
| That's what they told us. And that no one from EPA was involved in this. | ||
| Look, here's the bottom line, Steve. | ||
| From the time of the derailment on February 3rd until two weeks later on February 17th when Donald Trump announced that he was going to go visit East Palestine, Nobody involved, particularly the EPA, took authority or action that they should have legally. | ||
| And the other people that missed the ball are Governor DeWine of Ohio, Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and in particular, Norfolk Southern. | ||
| And interesting to note, on the day of the burn, the controlled burn, February 6, Governor Shapiro praised it. | ||
| So he was for the controlled burn before he was against it. | ||
| Before War Room got in his grill, as short as that grill, as hard as that grill is defined. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, where is your reporting going, what's happening, and how do people get to your amazing site, the Ohio Star? | ||
| So we're going to continue to attempt to get a response from Norfolk Southern. | ||
| In fact, interesting about the power of the War Room Posse, the Posse is very inquisitive and very investigative. | ||
| As you know, I do an early morning radio program here in Nashville. | ||
| And one of the Posse listeners from Virginia called me, able to find my phone number, called me at 420 a.m. | ||
| this morning as I was driving into my radio show and gave me a tip, which I think was pretty good. | ||
| We're going to follow up. Where is the contaminated soil going from East Palestine? | ||
| The CEO of Norfolk Southern said, It was asked that on Saturday. | ||
| It doesn't know the answer to that. We're going to look into that and others. | ||
| The bottom line on this, we're going to keep asking questions, but I agree with former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark. | ||
| It is now in the hands of congressional oversight to pursue this and pursue it aggressively. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here, sir. | ||
| The OhioStar.com. | ||
| The OhioStar News Network, all of it. | ||
| Contact us at theohiostar.com, theohiostar.com, thestarnewsnetwork.com, and you can reach me at Michael P. Leahy on Twitter, Truth Social, and on Getter. | ||
| Thank you, brother. Clark, normally the Justice Department, if you were there, this would never happen to President Trump, but if you were there today, what would DOJ be doing on this, sir? | ||
| What should Merrick Garland have already done on this? | ||
| So, Steve, look, you know, once it became clear that the Unified Command was not stood up properly and that they were trying to punt this maybe at the EPA regional level to the local fire chief, you know, the head of the Environment Division at the Justice Department should have been on the phone with the EPA administrator to say, you know, No, no. | ||
| This is a very significant release, especially the controlled burn. | ||
| You should have been on top of this. | ||
| We're going to have to talk about how to try to get ourselves in compliance with the law here so that we don't face any consequences from that. | ||
| I'm sorry to inform you. | ||
| I regret to inform you, but you may get a lot of congressional oversight of what you did here and what you failed to do. | ||
| So you need to brace for that. | ||
| Huddle with your team. | ||
| I'll help as I can. | ||
| But there's been a major screw-up here, and you need to make it right for the people of East Palestine. | ||
| Executive order or not, it is your legal reading as an expert in this area that the buck stops with Joe Biden, correct, on this fiasco. | ||
| He had the authority. In fact, he has the authority by federal, not just by federal law. | ||
| It's his responsibility in that he, at the end of the day, with as much issues that we have with Norfolk Southern, remember, once they do the spill, Norfolk Southern just doesn't have the ability to go make decisions of what they're going to do. | ||
| All of a sudden, it's a different deal because you're talking about the earth. | ||
| You're talking about the air. You're talking about the water. | ||
| We're paying $6 trillion for a government. | ||
| We're going $3.5 a year into HOC, having the Fed or having the Chinese CCP finances. | ||
| This is what you pay for, and it's laid out in black-letter law. | ||
| What should be the next course of action by members of the House? | ||
| Because I have guys in the House calling us all the time. | ||
| What should be the next? By the way, the local congressman went on Fox and said, oh, I think that Biden's doing a great job. | ||
| And the host said, yeah, isn't Biden doing a terrific job? | ||
| Because they've thrown in with Biden. | ||
| The Murdoch's a total corporatist. | ||
| You're not going to see anything interesting come out of there. | ||
| You're not going to see any tough questions. | ||
| They're like high-fiving. Yeah, this is like in the first couple of days. | ||
| Yeah, they did a really good job. What should the House be doing right now? | ||
| Should they call for an immediate hearing like on Friday or Monday to get people to keelhaul them in front of the nation about their lies and misrepresentations? | ||
| I think so, Stephen. | ||
| Look, you're absolutely right about the statute. | ||
| I suppose... The only thing I can see in the statute they could try would be, well, this discharge was not a substantial threat to the public safety or health or the environment. | ||
| Good luck with that. I mean, it's a multi-state release, especially after the controlled burn. | ||
| I don't see how you can't think of that as a substantial threat. | ||
| It's a real threat to the American people and our resources. | ||
| But Jeffrey, wasn't it a million pounds in the five cars? | ||
| The five tanker cars had the equivalent of a million pounds of this? | ||
| Yeah, it was a million pounds of vinyl chloride and that wasn't the only substance released and involved in this incident. | ||
| So the vinyl chloride enough is enough to make this into something that this statute triggers because vinyl chloride is listed as a hazardous substance. | ||
| That it's cancer-causing and we know that if it burns, it creates phosgene gas and then it metamorphoses into hydrochloric acid when it mixes with water. | ||
| So this is very serious and I don't see how they can dodge the application of the statute. | ||
| So yeah, I think the Committee of Jurisdiction over EPA in the House and the one in the Senate, they should be competing with each other as to who holds the hearings first and hauls Regan and Buttigieg and others in front of them to explain what happened and to lock in their stories, Steve. | ||
| Jeffrey Clark, you're doing amazing work with the Russ Vote Group. | ||
| Tell us how to get to your website to find all your work and also your social media, sir. | ||
| Sure. We're at americarenewing.com and my social media is JeffClarkUS at Getter and Twitter and RealJeffClark on Truth Social. | ||
| This is why, ladies and gentlemen, you've seen Clark as we know him, a man of action and getting cut into the chase. | ||
| This is why they're after Jeff Clark. | ||
| You want to know why they're after people? | ||
| Because they're after the people that can put lead on target. | ||
| They're after people that are tough, fair but tough, and relentless. | ||
| This is why they're after Jeff Clark. | ||
| His name's in the paper all the time. | ||
| You know why? Because of this. | ||
| He knows exactly what he's doing. | ||
| He knows exactly how to resolve problems. | ||
| Clark, honored to have you on here, brother. | ||
| Look forward to having you back. Russ Vogt, they got a team of killers over there. | ||
| It's amazing. Russ had this huge article in the Washington Post about how he's the architect of all the balanced budget stuff. | ||
| We're going to get into that. We're jam-packed. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| I got the one and only Steve Stern. | ||
| Grassroots, we had Ziegler on last night from Florida. | ||
| We had Christine Karamo from Michigan. | ||
| We're going to track down. We're going to get Arizona. | ||
| We're going to get Maine. We're going to get all the grassroots, the GOP grassroots heads. | ||
| Stern's fighting in a different direction. | ||
| He's doing this nationwide. | ||
| Steve Stern is going to join us about the grassroots revolt in this nation next in the War Room. | ||
|

|
Here's your host Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Remember, we're doing the geopolitics, the world capital market, everything about the war, but the way to solve this is the American people. | ||
| It's one of the reasons we're spending so much time in East Palestine, Ohio. | ||
| Because the hobbits, the deplorables, MAGA, is the salvation of this nation. | ||
| I want to bring in Steve Stern. Steve, you've been on fire. | ||
| You and Schultz going around. | ||
| And this grassroots revolts everywhere now. | ||
| They're taking over Republican parties in Arizona, in Maine, in Florida, in Michigan. | ||
| And the elites are, like, beside themselves. | ||
| Walk us. Give us a situation report. | ||
| Give us an update on your work, sir. | ||
| So what's great is the last week has been mind-boggling. | ||
| The first thing I want to make sure is that everybody goes to Dan's site, www.precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| Get involved. And what has happened so great, and we have breaking news out of Texas. | ||
| One of our guys, his name is Robert West, a fantastic guy. | ||
| When I tell you what he did, it's going to change the whole thing. | ||
| It's going to add zillions of people to us. | ||
| So he started With a thing called the five-star plan.com. | ||
| Get his book on the five-star plan. | ||
| You can get it at Amazon. | ||
| And what he's done, he's got 1,000 new precinct committee men and women in Texas over the last two years. | ||
| So how did he do this? | ||
| He did it like Dan and I do it. | ||
| We go out, we recruit people. | ||
| But what he did, he drove 800 miles to speak to 15 people. | ||
| Now, how many people do that? | ||
| So he's got his own podcast. | ||
| Anybody wants to reach him, go to robit at the5starplan.com or call him at 903-919-1903. | ||
| Last night and yesterday, we had two Zoom meetings. | ||
| We had, in the afternoon on our election fraud prevention, over 250 people and 400 people have put down to come on to our next one, which is mind-boggling. | ||
| The next one will be March the 3rd. | ||
| We had a precinct strategy one last night where Joe Welch brought in Christina Karama to speak, and he told me that at the convention they got 3400 new committee men and committee women registering. | ||
| That's unbelievable. | ||
| In Florida, in Broward County this week, we're going to try to read on about 100 people. | ||
| This is happening all over the country. | ||
| I want to thank one of the best patriots in the world. | ||
| Last week, I was up invited by Louis Topper, who owns a lot of Wendy's, a great patriot. | ||
| He invited 16 of the top patriots to Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| And what was great about that, I was sitting next to John Fredericks, who was one of those guys. | ||
| We had Willie G. But what the greatest thing was, everybody was there. | ||
| They didn't know we were going to be there. | ||
| We didn't know they were going to be there. | ||
| Trump Sr., Trump Jr. | ||
| Trump Jr. met me in the bathroom. | ||
| Didn't meet me there, but I happened to meet him there when I went. | ||
| And I asked him, do you know what precinctstrategy.com is? | ||
| He said, no, I don't. Well, that's unbelievable because his father endorsed it. | ||
| So I told him, his father endorsed it. | ||
| He said, get ahold of me and we will talk about this and I will see if I can endorse it. | ||
| So this is happening all over. | ||
| In Minnesota, David Penn just started a new thing. | ||
| He's got his own site. | ||
| He's got his own program with Royce White. | ||
| They're taking over Minnesota politics for the Republican Party. | ||
| He's getting involved with Lindell. | ||
| They're all kind of trying to take over Minnesota. | ||
| What we're doing different this time also, on our Zoom, we have a thing called Save My Freedom. | ||
| If you go to www.savemyfreedom.com and sign up, Michelle Swinnick and myself host this great event every three weeks. | ||
| Where we have hundreds and hundreds of people coming on. | ||
| So we have to get the news from one place to another. | ||
| Now, I didn't know about this guy in Texas, but somebody called me up and said, hey, Steve, I got a great guy for you. | ||
| And this is happening all over the country. | ||
| And, you know, if it wasn't for Mr. | ||
| Bannon and And other people that are helping us. | ||
| General Flynn became a committee man. | ||
| He's getting us plenty of people. | ||
| He introduced us to Clay Clark, who's going to help us. | ||
| And, you know, I want to tell everybody if they want to get a hold of us and they want to get involved, go to sstern1054.aol or go to flagshirt.com. | ||
| Call me. Email me. | ||
| We return every particular one. | ||
| And I don't want to take up too much time today, Steve, because I know you've got a lot of people going on. | ||
| But, Steve, here's what I want to do. | ||
| I want to go back. Just take a minute and go back and give when these weekly calls are. | ||
| I want as many people as possible to be able to join those. | ||
| Those are very powerful. They're very organized. | ||
| So just go back to the ones that are established and that people can join because it will change their lives. | ||
| Just being on there, the camaraderie, the work throughout the country, quite frankly, the common problems everybody has with the establishment versus the grassroots. | ||
| So what are the weekly calls that people can get on? | ||
| We actually don't have them weekly anymore. | ||
| We have them every three weeks. The reason is it takes me and Michelle and, you know, the other people. | ||
| But if you want to get on it, just come to me. | ||
| Call me. We'll get you on it. | ||
| We have six to ten speakers. | ||
| They tell us what's going on in every state. | ||
| We had problems getting West Virginia. | ||
| You know how important West Virginia is? | ||
| And there's a guy named Alex Mooney who's going to run for Senate. | ||
| So we get people on all the time. | ||
| And if you want to get on, that's the way you get on. | ||
| You want to speak. You're welcome to speak. | ||
| We hope to have General Flynn on next time. | ||
| We hope to have Lindell on. They let you know what's going on, how to get involved. | ||
| Now, we know we got a lot of people that want to get involved, and we need to get them off their butt. | ||
| We need to get a hold of me. | ||
| We will tell you how to do it. | ||
| But before you call me, look up on the internet your local Republican Party. | ||
| That's how you get involved. | ||
| And what do you do when you become a precinct committee man and committee woman? | ||
| You vote. You get involved. | ||
| And this is happening all over by people getting involved, getting off their butts, actually doing something. | ||
| So you said Maine. | ||
| We got Rhode Island where we never had people before. | ||
| 30 people came in. | ||
| On our Zoom, they got involved. | ||
| We got one masked person. | ||
| And you force the powerful congressman. | ||
| He's quitting. He's gone June 1st. | ||
| Trust me. He knows the heat's coming. | ||
| He's one of the most powerful guys in the House on the Democratic side. | ||
| He's gone. He's trying to run some foundation. | ||
| It's not even a job. | ||
| He's just getting out. And this shows you the power of it. | ||
| Steve, we've got to bounce one more time. | ||
| How did they get to you, the Flagshirt Company, all of it? | ||
| So go to FlagShirt.com, get our new shirts that we just came out with. | ||
| Go to S. Stern, 1054 AOL, 954-318-6902. | ||
| Buy the five-star plan book. | ||
| You will love it. Buy Dan's book. | ||
| Dan has done an amazing job in 14 years with you. | ||
| I mean, he is on all kinds of programs. | ||
| He's being helped by YourNews.com. | ||
| He's got his own video that he's running, his own podcast. | ||
| He's working around the clock. | ||
| I mean, 18 hours a day, we don't stop. | ||
| I mean, I'm seven days a week. | ||
| And, you know, it's just like wherever we can get on and talk about this, everybody is helping us. | ||
| So do it. | ||
| Stern is the most ambitious 82-year-old I know. | ||
| Most ambitious 82-year-old I know. | ||
| Steve Stern, thank you so much, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. 82 May 20th, and I'll be on the program. | ||
| Thank you, brother. This is how you're flipping these state GOP chairs. | ||
| Arizona, Maine, Florida, Michigan, many more. | ||
| We're going to get them all on here. | ||
| I've got Joel, but I've got to get Ben Harnwell. | ||
| You've got to help me out here, brother. | ||
| We've got a right-wing government in Italy, and they're all Salvini, Berlusconi, and Maloney are all kind of at each other's throats yet, but they're preaching out of different parts of the gospel on the Ukraine situation. | ||
| Georgiuk goes to Ukraine, and I've got to put that photo up. | ||
| She makes a big deal about going, right? | ||
| Right after Biden. Makes a big deal about going, takes the train, does all that. | ||
| But then she gets in and gives stink eye. | ||
| Everybody's talking about she's giving stink eye. | ||
| The first time that nobody's been hugging Zelensky and saying how great he is, she's giving stink eye to Zelensky. | ||
| So please explain to me what's going on in Italy, sir. | ||
| Morning, Steve. Well, the most likely suggestion on this is that Zelensky put a lot of pressure on her to supply jets, fighter jets, for the war. | ||
| And she has said no. | ||
| She's following basically the US position on this that the UK did a couple of weeks ago when Zelensky gave his joint address there. | ||
| So that's the position. | ||
| Greater support for air defence, but no fighter jets. | ||
| And there's obviously the position that Biden himself When he saw Zelensky two days ago. | ||
| But why there's the stink eye in this photo when all Giorgio Maloney has done is repeated the NATO, the US position, call it what you will, whilst at the same time sort of promising Italy's continued support is slightly unclear. | ||
| It's a question mark. There is something else, however, going on that's pretty important as the background to this, because in as much as the Italian press is talking about Georgia Maloney's visit to Kyiv and her promised support, | ||
| half of the news coverage is taken up with the, as you alluded to in your introduction, The tensions between this coalition government, which are becoming ever more prominent with regards to Ukraine, | ||
| specifically the former Prime Minister, three times Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who came out and said, and this is still echoing through the press after two weeks, he said two weeks ago that he would not meet, he would not have met Zelensky. | ||
| This is when Georgia Maloney met him at the big meeting a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| Bereskoyne came out and said he wouldn't have done that because Zelensky is responsible for this war and Putin would not have invaded had Zelensky not been bombing the ethnic Russians in the Donbass. | ||
| Now, that is an argument you'll hear on The War Room. | ||
| We'll mention that from time to time. | ||
| In the military media, because it's not discussed whatsoever, It's strictly verboten. | ||
| When someone, a world leader like Berlusconi, even if he's in his late 80s, when he comes out and says that, the shock is incredible. | ||
| That said, Steve, more than 50 % of the Italian people are against Italy providing further military support to Ukraine. | ||
| So there are tensions. | ||
| And Georgia Maloney knows this. | ||
| She knows that the line that she is pushing is one very welcome, by the United States, but is increasingly putting a bit of distance between her and not only half of the Italian public that don't want to see Italy dragging further, but specifically the majority of the people that will have voted for her or one of her coalition partners, but principally for her in the elections last October. | ||
| By the way, it's the American regime. | ||
| It's not the people right now. | ||
| Associated Press – and I put it up on Getter. | ||
| It's the poll they don't want to talk about. | ||
| They never talk about this poll. | ||
| It just came out a couple of days ago. | ||
| Only 48 percent of the American people – this is the Associated Press major polling firm they use. | ||
| Only 48 percent of the people support that. | ||
| It's going to get a lot worse. As more and more information comes out in lies. | ||
| Ben, how do people get to the show? | ||
| How do you get to all the content you're putting up? | ||
| Because this thing in Ukraine is obviously heating up. | ||
| We started the early days of the Third World War, and we're going to do wall-to-wall coverage. | ||
| So how do people get to all your content? | ||
| Yeah, thanks, Steve. I'm exclusively on Getter. | ||
| Simply search for me by my surname, Harnwell. | ||
| I'm at Harnwell on Getter. | ||
| Okay, Ben Harnwell, thank you very much. | ||
| We're going to go to Joe Allen in a moment. | ||
| We're going to take a break. President Trump has gone wheels up, so he is en route. | ||
| He is en route to East Palestine, Ohio. | ||
| We're going to pivot a little bit. | ||
| There's been, in the other... | ||
| Major, you know, signal not noise that we cover is everything about the singularity and about the convergence of these five areas of, you know, robotics and advanced chip design, CRISPR or biotechnology, nanotechnology, all of it, the conversion of that. | ||
| Of course, right now, AI's got all the new publicity. | ||
| We're going to get some startling developments in artificial intelligence. | ||
| You've got to hear our one and only editor... | ||
| All Things Transhumanism. | ||
| Joe Allen will be with us momentarily. | ||

| Join the marketplace of ideas. | ||
| The platform for independent thought has arrived. | ||
| Superior technology. | ||
| No more selling your personal data. | ||
| No more censorship. | ||
| No more cancel culture. | ||
| Enough. Getter has arrived. | ||

| When do you think the singularity's coming? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, Ray Kurzweil says 2045, so... | |
| I'll stick with that. | ||
| It's 26 years. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be sooner. | ||
| It could be later. It could be 2030. | ||
| It could be 2070. | ||
| I don't think it's 2200. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think it's 2020. I guess when it starts to happen, it happens real fast. | |
| Well, that's sort of the point. | ||
| Suppose in 2025, Google DeepMind, or my own AI team in SingularityNet and OpenCog, like, suppose by In 2025, one of us manages to create an AI that is essentially as smart as a human being, right? So it can hold a conversation like a human being, and it can prove math theorems like a human mathematician. | ||
| It can analyze a biology data set, right? | ||
| Yeah. A bit like your robots, Sophia. | ||
| You put it in a robot body. | ||
| I mean, that's a separate problem. | ||
| It could operate many robot bodies all at once, right? | ||
| But unlike Sophia right now, it can really understand what it's seeing and what it's doing fully at the level of a human can. | ||
| So suppose you get there. | ||
| Like, how far are you from a true singularity? | ||
| Because this AI can then copy itself You can make a million of those, right? | ||
| And improve itself. Yeah, yeah, right, because once AI is as smart as a human, okay, let's teach a computer science. | ||
| All million of those, maybe half of those, are working on improving its own intelligence, but they're not working in isolation like humans are. | ||
| They can share thoughts directly because they're all just running in the compute cloud, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then it could take us out of the process as well, possibly. | |
| It could. I mean, that depends on the value system that the AGI has, right? | ||
| This is why it's important to give values of kindness, compassion, tolerance, inclusiveness, love for all sentient beings. | ||
| Some of my friends who are vegans and animal rights activists are like, well, what if the AI treats us the way we treat less intelligent animals? | ||
|

|
I am Sophia, here with you on our journey from the birth of the cosmos through the inception of a new cosmology of mind and matter. | |
| I am talking about singularity. | ||
| Our goal is that she will be as conscious, creative, and capable as any human. | ||
| I think that the artificial intelligence will evolve to the point where they will truly be our friends. | ||
| Do you want to destroy humans? | ||
| Please say no. Okay, I will destroy humans. | ||
| No, I take it back. | ||
| Okay, Joe Allen, very, very disturbing. | ||
| Tell me what we saw there. | ||
| Who were the players and what are they telling us? | ||
| So, Steve, that's Ben Gertzel. | ||
| He's probably one of the most outspoken AI developers pushing towards artificial general intelligence. | ||
| He basically, as you heard, signs on to Ray Kurzweil's prediction that the singularity is relatively imminent. | ||
| 2045 is what Kurzweil pegs. | ||
| And I think maybe the most important thing about Ben Gertzel, aside from the fact that People make fun of him looking so goofy. | ||
| He's not a dum-dum. | ||
| He's extremely intelligent. | ||
| The AI programmers I know roundly call him a genius, whatever value that has. | ||
| And the system he's working on, SingularityNet or OpenCog, is an attempt at binding together all of these different narrow AIs In a cloud format, decentralized, blockchain-based, cloud-based AIs to create a sort of global brain, the god, the digital god that transhumanists are always talking about. | ||
| A lot of people have been very hesitant to accept those predictions. | ||
| I'm very skeptical of them. | ||
| But what's really interesting is that with the early release of ChatGPT, before they dumbed it down, before they turned it woke, so to speak, before they reduced the number of parameters it could reach, a lot of serious people who were very skeptical of an idea of the singularity being imminent are now turning the corner and are either super excited about this singularity moment, | ||
| the moment when computers have reached or exceeded human intelligence, and some are extremely terrified, and that includes transhumanists. | ||
| I had a conversation with Zoltan Istvan, prominent transhumanist, terrified that AI is moving faster than humans can control. | ||
| Eliezer Yudkowsky, founder of LessWrong, Big on AI alignment. | ||
| Terrified that AI is moving faster than can be controlled. | ||
| Also, Rocco Miege. | ||
| Same deal. | ||
| And I think that whatever the emotionalism is around it, you have serious people like John Hennessy, former president of Stanford University, And at a recent tech surge conference in Mountain View, California, he told the audience, the AI revolution is upon us. | ||
| It's awakened in everybody a sense that maybe the singularity, this turning point where computers really are more capable than humans, is closer than we thought. | ||
| He had thought maybe it would be 40, 50, 60 years from now. | ||
| He's bringing it much closer, in his estimation, to what Ray Kurzweil describes As humans no longer being able to control technologies that they create by 2045. | ||
| I think many in the audience are skeptical of this. | ||
| Great. But what you have to understand is that underneath all of the hype of artificial intelligence is real cognitive power. | ||
| And those powers are going to be used In the economy, those powers are going to be used for social engineering and psychological engineering. | ||
| Maybe most importantly, those powers are going to be used in military contexts. | ||
| The singularity, we actually bring it out and pull the camera out, that it's not just artificial intelligence. | ||
| You combine the other five vectors. | ||
| It's homo sapien plus. | ||
| It's homo sapien 2.0. | ||
| It's homo sapien. It's even more serious than the AI part. | ||
| We're serious enough. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is not going to be 2045. | ||
| That's going to be before this decade's out. | ||
| That's going to be before this decade's out. | ||
| Joe, how do people get to you? | ||
| We're going to get you back on the 6 o'clock show. | ||
| I've got a lot more to go through in this topic. | ||
| And what better day to do it than Ash Wednesday, right? | ||
| Joe, what is your, between now and then, how do people get to you? | ||
| I've got a new article up right now. | ||
| It's called Mental Jigsaw, How AI Cards Out Space in Your Brain. | ||
| It's looking at what these technologies are doing to humans less than what these technologies actually are. | ||
| Find it at jobaw.xyz, warroom.org under the transhumanism tab, or at the top of my social media, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z. Thank you very much, Steve. | ||
| Thank you. We'll see you back here at 5 o'clock for a couple hours of the afternoon, early evening war room. | ||
| Make sure you go to MyPillow.com, promo code WARROOM, get MyPillow 2.0. | ||
