Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, it's Tuesday, 7 March in the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, there are bombshells going off all over. | ||
| New York Times reporting intelligence suggests... | ||
| This is from the New York Times. The paper of record of your beloved republic. | ||
| Intelligence suggests pro-Ukrainian groups sabotage pipelines, US officials say. | ||
| Sub-headline, new intelligence reporting amounts to the first significant known lead about who was responsible for the attack on Nord Stream pipelines that carried natural gas from Russia to Europe. | ||
| Darren B., I know you got a punch, but here, the Cy Hirsch. | ||
| Okay, the probability, ladies and gentlemen, just make sure you understand some signal here, because this is how they're trying to normalize, they're trying to run this up the flagpole and see anybody who salutes. | ||
| The probability that a pro-Ukrainian group was able to blow up those pipelines is zero without the direct assistance of the United States military in the intelligence services and paramilitary operations of the CIA. Am I incorrect on any of that, Darren Beatty? No, I mean, it's very obvious. | ||
| And first of all, it's like, I'd like to at least congratulate The Times and other outlets for not insulting our intelligence with the suggestion that Russia somehow blew up its own pipeline. | ||
| I think that's a notable start. | ||
| It's good that we're at least somewhat in the sphere of reality at this point. | ||
| But as long as we're in reality, we might as well continue with the exercise and say, is there any possibility that this is just some Ukrainian proxy group? | ||
| As you suggest, the answer is no, because of the sophistication of the effort. | ||
| This involved very sophisticated, deep-diving, explosive. | ||
| There's no way people could have been in there without us. | ||
| The US is an acknowledgment, involvement. | ||
| Okay. It's not the scuba club from Odessa that can do this, right? | ||
| The scuba guys go out on a weekend off of Odessa and let's go scuba diving. | ||
| This was a highly sophisticated Cy Hirsch. | ||
| It's still ridiculous to put it in your face. | ||
| A pro-Ukrainian group. | ||
| Yeah, it's called the CIA. Victoria Newell is running this operation. | ||
| No, it's a pro-Ukrainian group. | ||
| It's the CIA. But here's the thing, folks. | ||
| I was on German TV at CPAC and they won't put the article. | ||
| They won't publish my interview. | ||
| They committed to it. They did an interview for like five minutes. | ||
| I'm lighting them up on this. Steve, we talk about this in relation to Russia, but really this is equally as significant, maybe even more so in the long term in terms of our relationship with Europe. | ||
| And it's deeply embarrassing for Germany because this was just as critical a piece of infrastructure for Germany as it was for Russia. | ||
| And they know that we know it. | ||
| It's more important. No, it's more. | ||
| No, no, brother. Don't bury the lead. | ||
| It's more important. The Russians can still sell the gas to the Chinese or anybody else. | ||
| This is the lifeline for the German industry was predicated upon cheap Russian gas. | ||
| Trump talked to Merkel. | ||
| We talked to Merkel when they first came up. | ||
| You can't let this pipeline go. | ||
| You're beholden. I go, oh, we know we have a special relationship where you can control Putin. | ||
| That's our answer. That's what national security guy told me to my face. | ||
| I said, what are you talking about? Once you do this, the whole structure of your industry is based upon this. | ||
| By the way, let me be blunt. | ||
| This is the CIA. Because the Ukrainian group couldn't have done it by themselves. | ||
| You might have had one Ukrainian guy in a scuba mask, right? | ||
| This is us going to war with the Germans. | ||
| We'll go to war with our allies to stop Putin. | ||
| We'll blow up our allies to stop Putin. | ||
| That is the buried lead here, Mr. | ||
| Darren Beattie. It's the buried lead, but I'll even revise it somewhat because, you know, it used to be that we needed to have complete control over Europe as a vassal state precisely in order to sort of counteract Russian power and Russian influence, | ||
| but it's almost gotten to the point where there's kind of a reverse situation that you could even look at it like Russia in its current state, I don't want to say incidental, but it's not so much more important than simply exerting our dominance over Europe as such. | ||
| And that's the sort of very lead, as you suggest, Of the whole geopolitical exercise is how we've used the Russian-Ukraine conflict as a pretext to completely reassert total dominance over the geopolitical affairs of Europe. | ||
| And Germany is... | ||
| Embarrassed by this, which is why they won't let you on their shows because they all know that it was the U.S. and it's humiliating for them to just smile and nod while their ostensible allies blow up one of their most critical pieces of infrastructure and they just have to take it with their mouths shut. | ||
| Okay. I want to go with you. | ||
| By the way, everything we've done from the beginning show is all of a piece. | ||
| Because the intelligence apparatus and national security apparatus that would blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, okay, to basically cut Germany off from the Russian gas and make everybody haul in on the Russians and try to break the Russians, right? | ||
| It's the same administrative state that's out of control that would prosecute the QAnon shaman, Ray Epps, Brian Sicknick, the lies of the administrative state, DHS having a domestic intelligence service, is the same administrative state that doesn't mind going to war with our allies. | ||
| Our allies, our vassal state, to get them in line. | ||
| It's all of a piece. | ||
| This is why Murdoch has to break Trump. | ||
| They have to break Trump and they have to break the Trump movement because we're onto them and we're not going to tolerate it. | ||
| And we're going to get the perpetrators and we're going to put them in the dock and we're going to convict them and we're going to send them to prison because what they're doing is the most anti-American thing you could possibly do. | ||

|
Darren Beattie. I'll tell you this. | |
| I'll believe that Ray Epps blew up Nord Stream Pipeline before I believe that it's Ukrainian scuba divers. | ||
| So good. BD, how do people get to you? | ||
| What's your social media? | ||
| How do big people get to Revolver? | ||
| It's great. Revolver.News, we have some great white-hot stuff right at the top, exposing the mechanics behind the Murdoch business, one of our most celebrated pieces. | ||
| Check it out. Check out our new piece on why the middle class is being screened out of Harvard and, of course, the classic Ray Epps video that you need to see in conjunction with Tucker's revelations. | ||
| It's all at Revolver.News. | ||
| I'm on Twitter, at Darren J. Beattie, and we're at Getter at Revolver.News. | ||
| And watch Tucker again tonight. | ||
| We'll have BD back on tomorrow. | ||
| Get him out of bed early. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Darren. Mike Davis. | ||
| Okay, Davis, here's what I don't get. | ||
| Tell about how you've been lighting people up. | ||
| But this is what I don't get. The weaponization committee, Jim Jordan, why are they not calling in? | ||
| Why are they letting Garland go to Ukraine? | ||
| Why are they not coming in and keelhauling him today on this? | ||
| Why are we not having an emergency hearing on this? | ||
| These very topics of an administrative state In a law enforcement national security intelligence thing that's literally out of control and now we have the evidence for it. | ||
| How can they hold this footage back? | ||
| And then these guys sitting there going, we can't release it. | ||
| You got Jamie Raskin up there. We can't release it. | ||
| The Chinese Communist CCP and the KGB could see how you open a door to the side of the Capitol. | ||
| It's a national security thing. | ||
| This is going to be terrible. Mike Davis. | ||
| Well, on the first part about why isn't the House Weaponization Committee calling a hearing today is because it's structurally set up to fail, right? | ||
| They don't have a dedicated chairman. | ||
| They don't have a dedicated staff director. | ||
| They don't have a dedicated staff, right? | ||
| They have five people. | ||
| Who work for Jim Jordan on the full committee who have a thousand other things to do who are doing this as their night job, apparently, on the weaponization committee. | ||
| Let's compare how the Watergate committee had a $48.5 million budget, 178 staffers. | ||
| The January 6th committee had an $18 million budget with 98 staffers. | ||
| This weaponization committee has a $2 million budget with five staffers who do a bunch of other stuff. | ||
| So it's just structurally set up to fail. | ||
| Jim Jordan did last week after I raised holy hell, he did put in a request to the House administration committee to ask for 15 more million dollars So we can staff this thing up. | ||
| But here we are, two months into this new Congress, four months after the election, we should be off to a running start. | ||
| House Oversight Chairman James Comer has been off to a running start. | ||
| He's been doing aggressive, very good oversight since day one of this Congress. | ||
| Why hasn't this weaponization committee been doing this? | ||
| Why is it not ready? And the reason is, this is a failure on Jim Jordan's part. | ||
| He thought he was gonna run this committee On his own with his full committee staff who have a thousand other things going on and it's structurally set up to fail. | ||
| It needs to be fixed immediately. | ||
| Frankly, Jim Jordan should just hand off this weaponization to committee to someone who actually wants to do it. | ||
| If he wants to stay on as the chairman, make someone the vice chairman, right? | ||
| And so we can save some face and let that person do the damn job. | ||
| This is too important for Jim Jordan's, you know, B.S. that he does. | ||
| He did the same thing on Big Tech. | ||
| He pretends like he's fighting Big Tech, but he's actually doing Big Tech's bidding behind the scenes. | ||
| He pretends like he's taking on the deep state by rolling up his sleeves and going on Fox News and taking credit for other people's oversight. | ||
| This needs to be taken seriously, and Jim Jordan is just not a serious person. | ||
| But Jim pushed for this and wanted to be a subset of judiciary and wanted to be the chairman. | ||
| Why would he... Do all of that and then have this thing. | ||
| I've got to tell you, the Axios piece, I have it up on Getter. | ||
| If we can please put that up, if Denver gets a chance, please put it up. | ||
| And Mo and Grace put it in all the chat rooms. | ||
| Everyone, get to Carly Boni. | ||
| People have got to read this. Because what I hear from my sources that are pretty good... | ||
| They tell me as bad as the Axios article is, Brother Davis, that it's far worse than that, what's happening. | ||
| This committee is what Jim Jordan is going to be known for. | ||
| This is the most significant investigation we've had, and you've seen right now with what happened on the J6. I mean, Davis, you're a lawyer. | ||
| I'm not. Is what you're seeing in this material that was held back and how people were prosecuted and just the lies about the Ray Epsis of the world and Sitniks, does that shock you? | ||
| Yeah. Well, it doesn't shock me with the Biden Justice Department, with Merrick Garland, with Channing Phillips, who was Obama's U.S. Attorney, the hatchet man who they brought back in to run this January 6th stuff out of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office. | ||
| It doesn't surprise me at all from the Obama-Biden world because these are left-wing radicals. | ||
| These are Marxist. And they don't play by the rules. | ||
| They only care about power. | ||
| And we saw that with January 6th. | ||
| They took a January 6th protest that got out of control and turned it into this bogus insurrection and used it to go after Trump, Trump's top aides, including you, Steve, and Trump's supporters all over the country. | ||
| They're trying to eliminate Trump with this January 6th. | ||
| fake insurrection narrative. | ||
| And here's the problem is they used the Justice Department. | ||
| They presented misleading false evidence to these courts to get convictions. | ||
| Attorney General Merrick Garland This is the biggest investigation in the Justice Department's history. | ||
| There are 44,000 hours of Capitol surveillance videos. | ||
| The FBI, the Justice Department attorneys should have gone through every second of those videos and provided to each one of these defendants the relevant videos. | ||
| The videos where those defendants are in the video should have been provided to those defendants individually. | ||
| It should not have been, For these people who don't have money and they have these solo defense attorneys, here's 44,000 hours of videos that you can go through. | ||
| Go have at it. Come to this basement room in the Capitol from 9 a.m. | ||
| till 5 p.m. during COVID. Wear your mask the whole damn time and you can go through 44,000 hours of videos. | ||
| That's not how it works. | ||
| The Justice Department violated Brady. | ||
| That is a very, very serious deal. | ||
| That calls for sanctions. | ||
| against these attorneys. | ||
| That calls for complaints with the Office of Professional Responsibility at the Justice Department. | ||
| That calls for complaints with each one of these attorneys' state bars. | ||
| This calls for sanctions by these D.C. Uniparty judges who went along with this nonsense, like Judge Royce Lamberth, who sentenced Jacob Chansley to 41 months in prison for being a misguided goofball, led into the Senate floor by Capitol Police And took selfies. | ||
| He's thrown in jail for 41 months. | ||
| I've been screaming about this for two years. | ||
| This is a complete miscarriage of justice. | ||
| This is a fraud on the courts. | ||
| And Judge Royce Landbirth should have a show cause order today asking why the Biden Justice Department should not be held in contempt of court and not have Brady violations sanctioned against him for what they did. | ||
| How do people get to your Twitter, getter, and to your site? | ||
| Article3project.org, article3project.org, at article3project, at article3project, at article3project, at my personal is MRDDMIA, MRDDMIA. And I'll tell you, Bill Shipley's Jacob's new attorney. | ||

| By the way, I just want to tell you how much I love Gateway and I love the new format and love everything you do. | ||
| In fact, I was thinking of you, Jim, when I was at CPAC and the times we used to have with Andrew there when Andrew dominated CPAC, what, 10, 11, 12 years ago. | ||
| Jim Hoff, your thoughts on Tucker. | ||
| And I thought, look, Tucker's got... | ||
| And we just got Schumer. | ||
| Remember, they've been quiet this morning on Morning Joe. | ||
| They're thinking about how they answer this because they understand it shows you the rot of the administrative state and the deep state because this is outrageous. | ||
| These are like, they're Stalinist. | ||
| That's what they are, they're Stalinist. | ||
| But Schumer just went to the Senate floor and ripped on Tucker and says, Fox, and he's calling out Murdoch, that's got to stop Tucker. | ||
| They ain't stopping Tucker. Tucker's coming in big this evening. | ||
| Hoff, your thoughts. You guys have done more heavy lifting with Julie Kelly and Revolver and the great team that's been on this. | ||
| Your thoughts of what you've seen and particularly the QAnon Shaman and holding this stuff back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, it's outrageous. It's absolutely outrageous. | |
| Tucker did an excellent job and you came in hot this morning with your guests. | ||
| It's been an exceptional show. | ||
| I was going to add, we wrote an article yesterday There's a retired policewoman who is going to court this week. | ||
| She's a January 6th prisoner, and she's wanting to get that footage to help her defend herself in court. | ||
| She's not able to get it. | ||
| And the judge just recently said, no, we're not going to give that to you. | ||
| That was our report yesterday. | ||
| This is what they're doing to these people, you know, just like with the shaman. | ||
| That guy may, you know, you may think he's crazy. | ||
| I think he was a You know, one of those typical original Americans that, you know, people don't forget, like the naked cowboy and stuff. | ||
| And look what they're doing to that man. | ||
| It's absolutely shameful. | ||
| It's disgusting what they're doing to all of these political prisoners. | ||
| And of course, we've written about that as you've talked about it for over two years now. | ||
| It's incredible. We're going to spend a lot more time on this. | ||
| We're going to try to get Julie Kelly on this afternoon. | ||
| We've got Mike Halib at the FBI from over at Heritage. | ||
| We've got Andy Bakes. | ||
| We're going to be jammed. I've got to tell you, this thing on Ukraine blowing up, the pro-Ukrainian group called the CIA blew up the North Stream. | ||
| This is so outrageous. | ||
| What they're doing in this war is so un-American. | ||
| It is disgusting. | ||
| Let's assume it's true. | ||
| The Ukrainian, quote unquote, the guys we're arming go ahead and blow up a lifeline to the German people where their entire economic structure is down to that and doesn't give anybody a fare thee well and want Germany to send weapons and stuff over there? | ||
| Is that, if that's true, it's also a lie. | ||
| This is American intelligence. | ||
| It's the Five Eye Group. | ||
| They can't get the scuba club down in Odessa. | ||
| You're telling me the scuba guys, the weekend scuba guys are there, and what they're going to do is go blow up the Nord Stream 2. | ||
| That's a bald-faced lie, okay? | ||
| They're just feeding you lies. | ||
| I want to make sure there's so many big narrative stories coming out. | ||
| I want to make sure these other stories that are just as important are getting full coverage. | ||
| Tell me about the ERIC system. | ||
| This is something people have been fighting for for years, and I think it's in collapse, and NPR and these people are freaking out right now. | ||
| Jim Hoft. Steve, I don't think you've seen the start of it. | ||
| The left is going to absolutely have a meltdown over what happened yesterday. | ||
| This was a huge story. | ||
| We had been speaking with Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft in Missouri for a couple weeks now. | ||
| He told us something big was coming, and boy, did it. | ||
| Yesterday, three different states decided that they're going to cut ties with this ERIC system. | ||
| The ERIC system was created in 2012 by David Becker, a committed leftist. | ||
| It's called the Electronic Registration Information Center. | ||
| And it was supposed to clean up voter rolls. | ||
| And what it's done is anything but that. | ||
| In fact, it has as a mandate the states who participate in this, and there was 32 states. | ||
| I think we're down to about 27 now. | ||
| Which is really good news. | ||
| But it mandated that they contact these people who are registering to drive and you have to register them to vote. | ||
| It's doing the opposite of what it was supposed to do. | ||
| A great example of that is Wisconsin where they had over 7 million names on their voter rolls when they only have less than 4 million eligible voters in that state. | ||
| So this ERIC system is not working. | ||
| It's failing. And why does the Democrats, why do they support this so much? | ||
| Why are they so insistent on keeping this going? | ||
| I think we all know the answer to that. | ||
| They have to load these voter rolls with all of these bogus phantom voters. | ||
| And your audience can decide what happens after that. | ||
| But yesterday, the three states, Missouri, West Virginia, and Florida, Got off of the ERIC system. | ||
| This is really big news. | ||
| Of course, we've written about it for over two years now at the Gateway Pundit. | ||
| And Steve, it was the War Room audience and it was the Gateway Pundit audience that has been calling the Secretary of State in several states and now we're seeing some action. | ||
| Another great piece on this is Alabama got off a couple of months ago and just last month Their Secretary of State, Wes Allen, who was in Washington, D.C., for meetings, went over to the ERIC headquarters in Washington, D.C. And you know what he found, Steve? An empty room. | ||
| There was nobody there. | ||
| There was no computers. | ||
| It's just a shell of an office in Washington, D.C. And so we're not sure where the servers are. | ||
| We're not sure who's getting this information that all these states are sharing. | ||
| We're not sure if it's secure. | ||
| They haven't released a security report in several years. | ||
| So it's about time that states get away from this because, Steve, as you have been saying more than anyone, we need free and fair elections. | ||
| We can talk about all these other issues, but if we don't have a seat at the table, if instead we're in the back of the bus, we're not going to get anything done. | ||
| We have to have a seat at the table. | ||
| We have to have free and fair elections. | ||
| And this, of course, ties in directly with what you and Tucker were saying about January 6th. | ||
| How they use that to then forbid anyone ever to talk about November 3rd. | ||
| Well, thank you, Steve, for continuing on this. | ||
| And certainly we will at Gateway Point and many of your guests. | ||
| What I think we're going to do when we have time, I want to get you back on to some other people. | ||
| We want to talk about how the other activists in these states can get rolling. | ||
| You've got Alabama, you've got Florida is massive, West Virginia, and a couple of great folks out of Missouri doing this. | ||
| We can take this whole thing out and we can do it quite quickly. | ||
| And the NPR and these people are beside themselves. | ||
| How did they get to you on social media and how did they get to you at the Great Gateway Pundit? | ||
| The show prep for the war room. | ||
| All right, Steve. TheGatewayPundit.com. | ||
| We're on Getter. We're on Truth Social. | ||
| We're on Twitter again. | ||
| We got back on Twitter. | ||
| We're on Facebook, but they've shadow banned us completely. | ||
| So, you know, come to our website, TheGatewayPundit.com. | ||
| We continue to grow even though what the left has done to us, Steve. | ||
| It's really something I'm very proud of. | ||
| Oh, no, you guys are a powerhouse. | ||
| And, Andrew, I would just be ecstatic of what you guys have grinded through and just incredible. | ||
| Jim, thanks a lot. Jim and Joe Hoff, the twins at Gateway Point are just incredible. | ||
| Do I have Cortez? Can I play the... | ||
| So I've got... | ||
| I tell you what, before we do that, before we bring up Cortez, let me play the... | ||
| Can I play the Chuck Schumer? This is Chuck Schumer. | ||
| Okay, we told you that Morning Meek and these guys were hands-off. | ||
| CNN's got an article they popped, but they had to figure out how to counter Tucker. | ||
| This is Chuck Schumer from the floor of the U.S. Senate moments ago. | ||
| It's an insult to every police officer who was on the scene that terrible, fearful day. | ||
| It's an insult to the memory of every single person who perished in connection to the attack, especially to the memory of Brian Sicknick. | ||
| Nonviolent? Ask the Sicknick family. | ||
| It makes me sick just thinking about what his family must be going through this morning. | ||
| And it's an insult to everyone who cares about our democracy and wishes to preserve the dream of our founders in our day, in our age. | ||
| I hope every member of this chamber will call out Fox and Mr. | ||
| Carlson for defending the insurrectionists. | ||
| And again, I am disappointed and angered in Speaker McCarthy's decision to share sensitive security footage with Mr. | ||
| Carlson. Speaker McCarthy was here that day. | ||
| He knows what actually happened. | ||
| His staff and members suffered like everyone else, but he chose cheap political expediency over truth and preservation of democracy. | ||
| I condemn Mr. | ||
| Carlson for siding with the enemies of democracy. | ||
| Hey, we condemn you. | ||
| You're nothing but the law. | ||
| You can't have unity. We've got to beat them. | ||
| Okay? Don't give me the unity thing. | ||
| We're not going to be hugging up on Schumer. | ||
| You see the panic. Cortez, we're going to take a break here in a second and play some Powell's testimony and get your thoughts on what's happening to big. | ||
| But I've got to ask you, I've got to get you in here for this. | ||
| You saw the Tucker Carlson. | ||
| You see the lies, the mystery. | ||
| I mean, this January 6th thing is more outrageous. | ||
| And, brother, while you're there, New York Times just announced a pro-Ukrainian group blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, brother. | ||
| What do you got to say, Cortez, in this morning's news? | ||
| Yeah, by the way, so this is a quote from that New York Times article. | ||
| A proxy force with connections to the Ukrainian government, according to US intelligence. | ||
| A proxy force? You mean the CIA? It's much quicker to just say CIA. It's only three letters. | ||
| We don't have to go through that whole sentence. | ||
| Chuck Schumer, everything from the cathedral, everything from the regime is a lie. | ||
| From the virus to inflation being transitory to January 6th supposedly being an insurrection. | ||
| And kudos to Tucker Carlson and kudos to Speaker McCarthy for keeping his promise to give transparency. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy, kudos on this one. | ||
| Tucker, fantastic job. | ||
| Round two will be tonight. We're going to be all over it. | ||
| Cortez joins us. While we were doing this, guess what? | ||
| The debt ceiling, it's all blowing up right in their face. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Steve Cortez joins us on the other side. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCP. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| I'm going to get to the PAL testimony. | ||
| Steve Cortez has been good enough to follow this for us. | ||
| Cortez, tell me, you've had a chance to read it. | ||
| I haven't. I've just been able to skim it. | ||
| It's almost worse if it's the Ukraine than it is the CIA. Is it not, sir? | ||
| Oh, correct. I mean, here's the thing. | ||
| Look, I don't think any reasonable person believes the New York Times or believes U.S. intelligence, which, as usual, is using the corporate media as effectively its PR agency to push these narratives and lies. | ||
| But let's for a second take them at their word. | ||
| If this is true, it's actually even worse, because if Ukraine, without U.S. assistance, without U.S. permission, was able to essentially attack our ally in this fight, Germany, our NATO ally, right? | ||
| Then the reality is actually even worse. | ||
| So I think, as usual, these morons in permanent Washington and the administrative state People who I think we used to have reverence for and think were sophisticated players recent decades should remove that previous bias because of their continual failures all over the world. | ||
| But they didn't think second and third derivative like, well, wait a second. | ||
| If we get the public to actually believe this, guess what? | ||
| The alliance, the anti-Russia alliance, will break up very, very quickly if we find out that the Ukrainians are actually attacking the Germans. | ||
| No, the reality is, I think as any thinking person can surmise, this was, if not conducted by the United States, at least allowed by the United States. | ||
| And that alone is nettlesome enough. | ||
| But again, Steve, as I constantly make this case, I think it's so important for the audience out there. | ||
| Here's the wonderful thing about this regional struggle in Ukraine that has gone on for centuries, for time in memoriam, and will probably go on for centuries into the future. | ||
| It doesn't involve the United States. | ||
| All we need to do is have an America first foreign policy of realism and restraint and realize we have no strategic interest in the Black Sea. | ||
| This is up to the slobs. | ||
| They can have this struggle. If Western Europe chooses to insert itself, fine. | ||
| Not our business. Not our problem. | ||
| And Zelensky sure as hell is not our fighter. | ||
| Before I go to the debt ceiling in the testimony, Jack Posobiec, thank you for joining us. | ||
| Jack, is Jake Sullivan's head going to roll for this? | ||
| Because this is obviously a total fiasco, sir. | ||
| Well, Steve, Jake Sullivan's head is going to roll if the Republicans in the House actually call him to account, call him to task, make him come over and testify the way that we're finally starting to see the subpoenas roll out from the Weaponization Committee that we have seen on the likes of Nita Yankovic just last night. | ||
| But let's be frank here. What we're seeing is a mix of limited hangouts. | ||
| We saw this last week when Chris Ray came out and told us that, okay, well, it is Wuhan that was behind COVID-19. | ||
| It was the lab leak. Actually, that was right all along. | ||
| Even though we called you all conspiracy theorists, you were actually right. | ||
| Now, what are they doing again? | ||
| The New York Times rolling out today this limited hangout. | ||
| People need to understand The purpose and the tactic that is the limited hangout strategy. | ||
| The limited hangout strategy is that when your cover is blown, but you want to maintain your rapport, you want to maintain your credibility with the people that blew your cover, what you do is you say, okay, well, you were right, but just about a little bit. | ||
| And we're not going to give you the whole thing. | ||
| You peel back one layer of the onion. | ||
| So they are admitting now in the New York Times, you have to understand this is not a New York Times report. | ||
| This is an intelligence press release. | ||
| The press release says, okay, it wasn't Russia, but we're not going to admit it was us. | ||
| We're just going to say pro-Ukrainian group. | ||
| I say that's the nicest thing anyone's ever called the CIA and MI6. So it was a pro-Ukrainian group. | ||
| Just like Wuhan. Just like COVID-19 was just Wuhan. | ||
| Definitely Wuhan. Not Ralph Baric. | ||
| Not Peter Daszak. Don't ask questions about the money flowing through EcoHealth Alliance. | ||
| Just Wuhan and the CCP. Don't ask any other questions. | ||
| Senator Rand Paul. Steve, what you're seeing here... | ||
| is a system that is in complete meltdown because they can tell there is one through line to all of this. | ||
| MAGA is on the move. | ||
| We're seeing the revelations of Wuhan, these new Nord Stream revelations, the CCP spy balloon, the FBI targeting Christians, World War III on the rise, the dichotomy of Biden in Kiev while Trump is in East Palestine. | ||
| And, of course, culminating last night with the Jan 6 revelations, we just had Trump's CPAC speech, we had your CPAC speech, the fact that he was praising your CPAC speech feels like the gang's getting back together a little bit. | ||
| Dare I say, MAGA is ascendant and the system is in the early stages of freaking out because they are going to initiate the same pathogen response that they did in 2016. | ||
| That they did to a greater extent in 2020. | ||
| And people need to be prepared for the forces that will be unleashed upon this movement in 2024. | ||
| Amen. It's going to be released. | ||
| Now, by the way, the other thing, too, we're going to get to it hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow, the Buttigieg leaking that the EPA authorized, the EPA signed off on the control of release and burn in East Palestine. | ||
| Of course they did. Jack, hang on for one second. | ||
| So did Josh Shapiro show to DeWine. | ||
| I tell you what, the forces are right against us that are going to come in. | ||
| We've got to break up the Ken Griffin, McConnell, Murdoch situation. | ||
| But hang on, put a pin in this, Jack, for one second. | ||
| We're talking about power. | ||
| Let's go to the money. Let's play Senator Kennedy. | ||
| This just came hot off the press with Powell today. | ||
| Steve Cortez is here to analyze. | ||
| Let's let it rip. Well, and when Congress borrows money to spend even more, That stimulates the economy even more, does it not? | ||
| At the margin, yeah. | ||
| Okay. If Congress reduced the rate of growth in its spending and reduced the rate of growth in its debt accumulation, it would make your job easier in reducing inflation, would it not? | ||
| I don't think fiscal policy right now is a big factor driving inflation at this moment, but it's absolutely essential that we do slow the pace of growth, particularly for the areas of the budget. | ||
| Let's try to unpack this then. | ||
| I'm not trying to trick you. | ||
| You're raising interest rates. | ||
| You're raising interest rates to slow the economy, are you not? | ||
| Yes, to cool the economy off. | ||
| And one of the ways you measure your success, other than fluctuation in gross domestic product, is the unemployment rate. | ||
| Is it not? Yes, one of the measures. | ||
| Okay. So in effect, I'm not being critical, when you're slowing the economy, you're trying to put people out of work. | ||
| That's your job, is it not? | ||
| Not really. We're trying to restore price stability. | ||
| No, you're trying to raise the unemployment rate. | ||
| I know you don't like the phrase, so let me strike it. | ||
| You're trying to raise the unemployment rate, are you not? | ||
| No, we're not trying to raise it. | ||
| We're trying to realign supply and demand, which could happen through a bunch of channels, like, for example, just job openings. | ||
| Let me put it another way, okay? | ||
| The Economist did a wonderful study. | ||
| They looked at ten disinflationary periods in America going all the way back to the 1950s. | ||
| Disinflation is what you're trying to do. | ||
| It's a slowing in the rate of inflation. | ||
| Am I right? Yes. | ||
| In other words, prices don't go down. | ||
| They just don't go up as fast. | ||
| Deflation is when prices actually go down. | ||
| You're trying to achieve disinflation, are you not? | ||
| Yes, we are. Okay. Based on history, in the ten times that we got inflation down, disinflation since the 1950s, in order to reduce inflation by 2%, unemployment had to go up 3.6%. | ||
| Now, that's history, is it not? | ||
| I don't have the numbers in front of me, but yes, the standard has been that there have been recessions and downturns when the Fed has tried to reduce inflation. | ||
| Right now, the current inflation rate is 6.4%, and the current unemployment rate is 3.4%. | ||
| Now, if history is right, I'm not asking you to, again, blame anybody, but if history is right, unless you get some help, In order to get inflation down from 6.4 % to, let's say, 4.4%, the unemployment rate is going to have to rise to 7 % based on history. | ||
| That's what the record would say. | ||
| Okay. And to get inflation down to 2.2%, based on history, an immutable fact, unemployment would have to go to 10.6%. | ||
| Would it not? No, I wouldn't. | ||
| That's what the history shows. | ||
| I don't think that kind of a number is at all in play here. | ||
| I know you're reluctant to admit it, and you don't want to get in the middle of a policy dispute. | ||
| But I think it's undeniable. | ||
| It's undeniable. | ||
| That the only way we're going to get this sticky inflation down is to attack it on the monetary side, which you're doing, and on the fiscal side, which means Congress has got to reduce the rate of growth of spending and reduce the rate of growth of death accumulation. | ||
| Now, I get that you don't want to get in the middle of that fight, but the more we help On the fiscal side, the fewer people you're going to have to put out of work. | ||

Isn't that a fact? Please answer. | |
| It could work out that way. Sir? | ||
| It could work out that way. Yes, sir. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you, sir. Senator Reid. | ||
| Okay, the one buried lead there. | ||
| To cut the rate of growth of the... | ||
| No, no, no, brother. No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator Claghorn Foghorn. | |
| You've got to cut dramatic cuts now. | ||
| You see the way they're trying to... That was quite illuminating, was it not, Brother Cortez? | ||
| Well, illuminating and dispiriting at the same time. | ||
| To see just how little expertise there really is among the ruling class of permanent Washington. | ||
| You know, Jerome Powell is a Washingtonian lifer. | ||
| He is a lawyer by trade. | ||
| I would take any community banker from any small town in America, and there's not enough of those left, unfortunately, because of Washington, but I would take one of them. | ||
| in a hot second to be a better Fed chair than Jerome Powell. | ||
| But listen, Kennedy was making a correct point there, which is right now there are literally counteracting forces regarding inflation in Washington, D.C., meaning the Fed has finally found religion and the Fed is trying desperately to get a hold of an inflationary spiral that it itself helped to create. | ||
| But it realizes that it has to raise rates very aggressively. | ||
| But at the same time that you have the Fed raising rates, you have all of that counteracted and more by the absolute exorbitant borrowing and spending by the fiscal profligacy of Biden and the Democrats and the establishment Republicans. | ||
| It's analogous, Steve, to let's say you have a flood in your basement. | ||
| And on one end of the basement, you have Jerome Powell, who's desperately trying to bail the water out. | ||
| At the same time, at the other end of the basement, okay, you've got Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell with a fire hose pouring water into that basement. | ||
| That is the scenario we are in right now. | ||
| And Jerome Powell, as critical as I am of him, I think his prepared testimony today was actually quite accurate and very prescient about the risks that we face. | ||
| And he warned the Congress that rates are going to have to, number one, go higher than previously anticipated, number two, at an accelerated pace. | ||
| Now, all of that is It's terrible news for financial markets. | ||
| It's terrible news for Main Street. | ||
| So I don't care just about Wall Street. | ||
| That matters. I care far more about Main Street and how it pertains to Main Street prosperity in this country. | ||
| Steve, this is an economy, unfortunately, predicated upon historically low interest rates. | ||
| Interest rates were kept artificially low for far too long. | ||
| And we are in an economic situation right now. | ||
| Where we simply, unfortunately, cannot stomach higher rates. | ||
| And by the way, just how higher rate's going? | ||
| Let me show you a chart. Let's put this in numeric terms. | ||
| Let's look at the data. If we can pull up chart number one, please. | ||
| This is two-year yield. | ||
| Now, normally, I show 10-year Treasury yield, which is the benchmark rate. | ||
| But if we look at the shorter duration end of the curve, two-year Treasury yield, which today hit almost 5%. | ||
| I'm looking at that since the beginning of Biden's term. | ||
| So you can see there on the very left side of the chart, When Biden takes office, two-year yield, interest rates on a two-year treasury, 0.13%. | ||
| 0.13. | ||
| Nearly zero, Steve, okay? | ||
| Nearly zero and had been there for some time. | ||
| As you can see from that chart, started to explode as Biden's economic policies took place. | ||
| Now almost 5%, the highest since 2007. | ||
| Steve, hang on, because I want to get all your quarters back. | ||
| We got Posobiec, too, Omega Ascendant. | ||
| We're jammed in the last segment of the show, but we need to stick around. | ||
| It's good. You're going to be in the edge of your seat. | ||
| Charlie Kirk will follow us at 12. | ||
| Steve Cortez, you call it the inverted yield curve. | ||
| The bond market, the real money's thrown up all over the business plan of Joe Biden next in the war room. | ||

We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CC. Getter has arrived. | ||

| You know, Cortez, one of the senators brought up today in the hearing, there's never been a Hispanic individual at a senior level in the Fed, which is outrageous. | ||
| And by the way, you gotta know, we're staffing the Trump second term, and Cortez is the shortlist to be Fed chair. | ||
| Steve, give us your overview, your summary. | ||
| By the way, what ticked me off, and I want to make sure everybody knows that Barry Lee here, Kennedy sat there, you know, Senator Claghorn, Foghorn, sat there and gave, you know, guys from Oxford, so the whole schtick's totally phony. | ||
| He's as sharp as they come. | ||
| He talked about the fiscal domination we're talking about. | ||
| He says, we've got to cut the rate of growth of spending. | ||
| No, sir, that would be incorrect. | ||
| MAGA demands. We have dramatic cuts in spending now in period zero, as we say in finance. | ||
| Now, right now. Steve Cortez. | ||
| Steve, slowing the rate of increase, that kind of talk, that kind of thinking, that's managed decline talk, okay, which we are sick of. | ||
| And the Republican establishment, unfortunately, has pushed that nonsense for far too long. | ||
| You know, Steve, to connect this financial discussion to the earlier discussion when Jack Posobiec very persuasively made the case That the various intense created crises of the regime are all coming home to roost at once. | ||
| Add to that this financial crisis, that we simply cannot afford these created crises around the world, particularly the geopolitical ones, the national So, unfortunately, the economic situation deteriorates, and quickly, even Jerome Powell, as feckless as he is, wakes up to that reality and tries to warn America today, throws cold water all over the ridiculous, soft-landing narrative, and says, no, inflation's out of control. | ||
| There's no easy way out. | ||
| Lots of news today. Please follow me on social media. | ||
| You can find me on Twitter. I'm at CortezSteve, Cortez with an S. How'd it get to your Substack, too? | ||
| Because your stories are incredible, not just the finance ones, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court. | ||
| All these are magnificent. And it links there. | ||
| It's stevecortez.substack.com. | ||
| And yes, please, please do not sleep on Wisconsin, especially the Patriots there, of course, in the Badger State, but all over the country. | ||
| This race really matters to you for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. | ||
| We're going to have a lot more in Wisconsin Supreme Court. | ||
| We're going to have some folks in Wisconsin on how the posse can help. | ||
| So, Cortez, thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate it, brother. Thank you. Posobiec, make the case, MAGA ascendant, brother. | ||
| Steve, we're seeing it every single day. | ||
| You saw Chris Ray there going out on Fox News with Bret Baier. | ||
| It was kind of a softball interview, but at the same time, you see him admitting many of these things that for all of these years, the FBI has completely balked at saying we're true. | ||
| So he comes out and says, okay, it was Wuhan. | ||
| Then he comes out again and is starting to admit, That, well, you know, we just can't say one way or the other about January 6th. | ||
| Of course, Tucker, we've got the videos there. | ||
| We've also got videos, by the way, that I've had since January 7th of men going and cutting the fences, cutting down the barricades. | ||
| Steve, I was on this very program on Gen 6, Gen 7, telling everybody that I saw agitators in the crowd. | ||
| Now what comes out next? | ||
| More limited hangouts. | ||
| Admission that a pro-Ukrainian group blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. | ||
| Okay, yeah, U.S. spies say it definitely wasn't U.S. spies that blew up Nord Stream. | ||
| Then you have the East Palestine at the exact same time as The Kyiv speech with Biden. | ||
| Everyone needs to understand that the audience for this is the American people, the Midwest, Independence, the South. | ||
| People need to know our country, was gutted by our government, by this regime, by people, as you just said, Steve, these Wall Street Republicans, these Chamber of Commerce Club for Growth types that have shipped our jobs overseas. | ||
| Why did Mitt Romney not win in all of these states? | ||
| Why did his brand of neoconservatism along with McCain's neoconservatism not win? | ||
| Because Mitt Romney looks exactly like the kind of guy that shipped your job overseas, shipped your factory overseas while McCain was sending you to fight overseas. | ||
| You know why? Because he was that guy. | ||
| That's the same type of rebranded Paul Ryan Koch brothers conservatism, quote-unquote, that they're trying to bring back. | ||
| Well, that's not America First. | ||
| And you know what? America First is ascended because we're seeing the exact same playbook being run on the American people. | ||
| And Steve, the American people are not stupid. | ||
| They're busy, but they're not stupid. | ||
| They're looking at this and they can see who is in East Palestine. | ||
| They can see who is there with the workers. | ||
| They can see who is there with the people. | ||
| People like J.D. Vance. People like President Trump that actually went out there. | ||
| People like Ben Berquam. Now we're seeing the CPAC speech, which was full-throated America first. | ||
| Full-throated. Fire the deep state apparatchiks that have been balking at our moves, that have been getting in our way. | ||
| And you're seeing it in the morning consult polls. | ||
| Look, January, Trump was at 45%. | ||
| February, Trump was at 48%. | ||
| March 5th, Sunday after the CPAC speech, where's Trump? | ||
| 53%. Trump is now breaking 53%. | ||
| And I know a lot of people were saying, well, you know, he doesn't have it anymore. | ||
| He's only getting so much in the... | ||
| Look, nobody beats Trump in the primary. | ||
| And with the prospect of World War III on the horizon, We need somebody who doesn't need to be going into this in year one. | ||
| We need someone who's already had four years on-the-job experience, someone who already understands the pitfalls, someone who's been through the ringer once. | ||
| Because, Steve, let me just go back to that list that I said earlier. | ||
| Wuhan, the CCP, the laptop, COVID, George Floyd, all the way up to Jan 6, Brian Sticknick, all of it. | ||
| All of this happened within a 12-month period here in the United States. | ||
| The regime lied about this. | ||
| The media and regime politicians all lied about this. | ||
| And do you really think that happened by chance? | ||
| Do you really think that happened randomly? | ||
| No. What we had here in the United States was the first domestic American color revolution. | ||
| And if and when President Trump becomes the nominee, We are going to see forces allied against the MAGA movement that are going to make 2020 look like a walk through Statuary Hall. | ||
| Not unity, but victory. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, the great Charlie Kirk, follows us next with the populist nationalist. | ||
| A couple more hours of it. | ||
| How do people get to you, Jack? | ||
| Very profound. Yes, of course. | ||
| Human Events Daily. Please check this out. | ||
| We're going to be going through all the revelations on Jan 6. | ||
| We're also going to be responding to Jon Stewart's comments about guns being the leading cause of death for children because it's just not true. | ||
| And we're going to be going through the subpoena of Nini Yankovic. | ||
| Jack Posovic, honored to have you on here. | ||
| Came in on fire. | ||
| Thank you very much. Charlie Kirk is next on Real America's Voice. | ||
| We're back five to seven. | ||
| It will be just as packed and lit as it was this morning in the early days of the Third World War. | ||
