Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
steve bannon
Welcome, Ernest, Palestine, Ohio.
Is your task and purpose to save your country?
This country will be saved.
We're going to turn it around here with the folks in East Palestine.
We've got a lot to get to. Fredericks, is this working out like you envisioned?
John Fredericks, this was your idea.
john fredericks
This was exactly what we wanted to do, was bring attention to everybody in East Palestine.
Sorry about that, Steve. But look, this is it because your plight is our plight.
Your life is our life.
Your problems are our problems.
steve bannon
That's why we're here. We're here to help you guys.
Only you can set it right.
We're here to assist you. And I got to tell you, we're going to go back to Ben Burke on a second.
I want to see this map again. Joe Reek, there's your mic right there, brother.
Why have you come all the way in?
Why is MyPatriotSupply came all the way in from Salt Lake City, sir, to be here with the show support to the citizens of East Palestine.
When we say East Palestine, we mean also all the area around it.
Including all the water that got dumped out of here, everything, all the smoke that blew all the way across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, all of it.
Joe Reek, why are you here from Salt Lake City, brother?
joe rieck
You know, just like you said, Steve, we're here to support the people of East Palestine.
People here have been forgotten.
And we want to do our part here at My Patriot Supply to help people become better prepared, because you never know what events are going to happen.
What things are going to do to cause you to worry about how you're going to take care of you and your family.
And so here at MyPatriotSupply, we want to show our support, help educate people on how to get better prepared.
I brought a bunch of different things to show people what to do, how to use it, our LectiPure Pro system.
It's available right now.
You can save up to $80 on that.
Every family in America needs to get prepared because the better prepared that you are, the better off everybody else is going to be.
steve bannon
Hey, man, we'll come back to see some of those products in a second, particularly the water filters and all that.
Hey, Ben Burquam.
Ben, you want to go ahead and take it away?
Yes, sir. Can we get that map back up there?
Because I don't totally understand that map.
It looks like a very tiny portion that people are responsible for, right?
I don't understand. Who made that decision?
Hey, in the deep water, man, it was the whole Gulf of Mexico.
It was Alabama, Mississippi, down there in Pensacola.
They broadly defined it.
That's where it's $20 billion. Hell, that map should be everything here, all the border systems, and it should be everything over in Pennsylvania and Ohio where this stuff blew over everybody, right?
All right? We're going to get to that in one second.
Let's do the map again, have him explain it, brother, and then we're going to talk so folks are here.
ben bergquam
Yeah, it should be, Steve, it should be everywhere that that cloud covered is where that map should go.
But, Dave, show this again. Yep, show this again.
So we've got these three areas, if you guys are looking at that.
And what's crazy about this is what we were told initially was it was a mile radius for the evacuation zone.
Now, these maps represent the relocation zone, but it's not relocation for the disaster.
Dave, tell us it's relocation for...
unidentified
It's supposed to be inconvenience odors and truck traffic, which is completely, completely not true because there are people that have not been able to relocate through this that are starting to get sick, and they are having issues trying to get out of the area with Norfolk Southern fighting them the whole way.
ben bergquam
You actually have a friend that's.8 miles away from the...
unidentified
This little area right here, up in here,.8 miles away, he has two children under the age of two years old.
And they will not relocate him because what they've been doing through this whole thing is they've been moving the center of the impacted people, as they say, to the east.
They've moved them three times.
The National Guard drug these people out of their house.
And they will not relocate them for the convenience odor issues.
ben bergquam
Talk to me real quick about, just looking at that, to me, it seems completely arbitrary.
I mean, I'm looking at part of this map, it goes way up two miles away from the disaster, three miles away, and then some parts that are not considered affected.
Does it make any sense to you as somebody here local?
unidentified
No, it doesn't. And the issue with this map is they evacuated people a mile wide and two miles long to the southeast, but they delayed the burn because of issues they said they had.
So what happened is the wind pattern changed and it has swept.
Every neighborhood in our area, it has gone 45 degrees every two hours.
And I mean, anyone can research this fact that it swept around the whole area.
And they're not even trying to construction relocate, haha.
The people that were evacuated by the National Guard.
Literally, the military ripped my friend Joe and his family out of their house, and they will not give him a convenience relocation, even though they're starting to now get health effects.
ben bergquam
Last question. Do you trust the government at all in what they're telling you?
unidentified
You know, I have to kind of step on my own toes and say that I've had a couple people with the EPA. They have personally helped me, given me information, given me footholds that I can use to help fight against Norfolk Southern and how they are doing things.
I'm not saying I don't trust the EPA. I don't trust a lot of people That are determining how things are being handled, is how I should say.
There's good people here that are doing good things.
But in general, we're all being buffaloed and told everything's good.
Steve? Yeah, hang on.
steve bannon
We'll come right back to you, Ben.
You were here. Can we get your name and your experience of what happened on that day?
unidentified
Diane Goodwin. I videoed the derailments.
We didn't know it was contaminated.
Nobody told you?
No, my nephew's a fireman, and they got called.
We got emergency alerts, and I live in Calcutta, East Liverpool.
It's on top of the mountain.
This is down low. But I videoed the derailment, didn't think anything about it.
steve bannon
Then we got... When you say video, you went down to the site itself and started taking video when it was still active.
unidentified
Yeah, we have very good firefighters, and I'm proud of them.
They did a great job.
Great. We didn't know any of this was happening.
Nobody was told.
Then they decided to nuke us, basically.
And I live, like I said, Calcutta, East Liverpool area, and that plume went over my house.
The next day there was black soot, like, and an oil on my car.
Anybody else?
Yeah. We had the oil on your car, and what is this stuff?
And here it was that, apparently.
steve bannon
Did anybody ever test that oily film that was on the car?
unidentified
Do you know? No, we didn't think about it then.
We didn't know this was contaminated at that time.
But I took video the Tuesday after the plume, and the clouds still had chemicals.
And where I live, you can...
I live right above the river.
And now we're in West Virginia.
They test positive. So what, did the High River get up and fly, grow wings, fly to West Virginia?
steve bannon
When you say you weren't told, the night when they started doing the burn, they didn't come around and have a town hall meeting or didn't tell anybody about what they were prepared to do and what they were supposed to do?
Because they did evacuate some people close to the scene, correct?
unidentified
We got an emergency alert on our phones, but we didn't know anything about it.
Like I said, I don't live in downtown East Palestine.
I live in Calcutta, East Liverpool area.
And when I went to the EPA... The town hall meeting two, three weeks ago, I asked the EPA. I said, why didn't you just put it in a freezer truck, put it in a tank, or ship it down to WTI in East Liverpool?
That's what they're doing now.
It's called Heritage. That's what they're doing now with it.
Why couldn't they have shipped it down then instead of lighting us up on fire?
They put chemicals.
They had another choice.
steve bannon
Well, the other choice, too, was to take it out of the tankers and put it into a truck and then move it.
First of all, there's two things.
There's a controlled release of the chemicals into the ditch.
And then it's the burning, right?
There's two steps. They didn't need to do either step.
It would have taken them longer and been more expensive, but they could have taken it right from the tankers into another means of transportation and gotten out of here, correct?
unidentified
Correct. They could have taken it and put it in WTI like they're doing now.
I said, why didn't you do that to begin with instead of nuking us?
And he said, I don't know.
I didn't think of that.
Well, apparently they're not that great.
He's the older, hairless gentleman, should I say.
steve bannon
Is he the on-scene commander for EPA? No, but they were at the town hall.
unidentified
They're the ones taking control of this.
steve bannon
So when you ask them, that's a straightforward question that needs to be answered.
That's one of the reasons we're here.
That's what Jeffrey Clark, he laid it all out for us, the legal chain of command.
And that legal chain of command is right there.
What was their response when you asked them that question?
unidentified
I didn't think of that at that time.
I said, well, why didn't you?
I said, you should have basically thought of other solutions instead of lighting us up on fire, nuking us, and giving us all these problems.
Now we've got dead deer, three more yesterday, up at Beaver Creek State Park.
steve bannon
They have three... Dead deer?
unidentified
Dead deer. They found three more dead deer yesterday at Beaver Creek State Park.
Today's paper shows that DeWine is getting grant...
To open up mental facilities for us living through this situation.
Why do we need a state grant?
We don't need a state grant.
Norfolk Southern is supposed to be paying for this.
And with all these train derailments, sooner or later, they're going to go belly up.
And then we're going to be stuck in the same situation as California.
steve bannon
You're saying they're going to go bankrupt, declare bankruptcy, and not have the $20 billion or whatever the amount is that they had at the horizon on the leak of the oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
unidentified
Exactly. And also, I went to a meeting the other day, and we're in West Virginia since they did test positive.
steve bannon
When you say test positive, tell this audience.
Remember, we have a global audience.
We've got big viewership in the UK, Australia, and Europe, everywhere, Japan.
So tell people, when you say they tested positive, test positive for what?
unidentified
They tested positive for the contaminants, for chemical contaminants.
And they are south of...
I'm Calcutta, Liverpool, and this is East Palestine, which is higher than me, but I'm on top of the mountain.
They are below, and we're in West Virginia is across the river.
So if they're testing positive, but we're supposedly testing negative, why?
Why? So the river moves, right?
Is it just not going to test positive there?
They said they have better testing facilities, is what West Virginia is stating, and I've got proof of that, and I brought it with me.
steve bannon
Hang on one second. The other thing is, too, is that where they're lying to you is they said they did all this analysis before they...
Where's the analysis? Remember, if they had one shred of evidence of any analytics that backed up their point at that congressional thing, you would have had charts the size of the roadhouse, right?
They would have had charts, and the guy would have sat there with the pointer.
He would have gone through the charts. They don't have, because they either didn't do it or they're lying about what it said, right?
One of the two. There's absolutely no justification for what they did.
It's quite evident that what they wanted to do was to get that out of here as rapidly as possible to open up the tracks and to take care of the problem, and they didn't care about the community.
They didn't care about, quite frankly, the country, because this stuff spread all over.
What they wanted to do, it was laborious and expensive.
But they could have taken the hazardous material, transferred it to other vehicles, and gotten it out of here.
There was no need for a controlled release, and there's no need...
First off, it's an uncontrolled release.
Once it goes into the ditch, it's everywhere.
It's in the groundwater, right?
Number one. Number two, it's an uncontrolled burn.
And the CEO of Norfolk Southern, you've got to stop your lying and stop your shuffling around.
Oh, I don't know. You've got to stand up and be a man and be held accountable.
And the EPA, the chain of command, that night...
The issue is who authorized that?
That was in the chain of command.
And I'm going to tell you who it's not.
It's not the fire chief in East Palestine, right?
It's a buff. You can't...
What they're going to try to do, what they're going to try to do is to shuffle this off to everybody that's local and said, oh, it's the people in East Palestine.
They were all confused and they were disoriented.
That's all a lie, right?
Okay, we're going to take another short commercial break.
unidentified
We're gonna be back in a moment. You hang right here Here's your host Stephen K band
You're listening to the band. I'm your host Stephen K.
steve bannon
Welcome back to East Palestine.
unidentified
Thank you, Jane.
steve bannon
They're getting a little rowdy here.
The sun's getting closer to come over the yard arm.
At 4 o'clock, we're going to come back, and Ed and Karen are going to be hosting a happy hour that's going to be here.
And then at 5 o'clock, we're going to be live, and Ben Burquam is going to be out in the town doing some pickups, so a lot going on.
John Fredericks, is this working out like you thought, brother?
john fredericks
I tell you what, just wait till four o'clock happy hour.
We'll see how this is working out.
We're going to be fired up.
Look, this is fantastic. So many people came here from both East Palestine, the surrounding areas, but many four, five, six hours away because they're concerned about the residents of this area.
And so it's just so heartwarming to see so many of us get together for the plight of Those in this area, I also, again, want to urge everybody, we're here again tomorrow, 6 to 10 a.m.
President Trump, got your back.
He's going to be calling in tomorrow right here at the Roadhouse, 9 a.m.
tomorrow. Don't want to miss that.
President Trump. I said this before.
I'm going to say it again.
He's got your back.
We need to have his back.
steve bannon
President Trump tomorrow night. By the way, there are folks here from Pennsylvania.
There's folks here from, obviously, Ohio.
There's also folks here from Michigan.
Who's got the best college football program?
Is it Ohio? Ohio?
unidentified
Pennsylvania? Michigan?
West Virginia? Oh my god, the Ohio guys who root for Michigan is the worst.
steve bannon
West Virginia? West Virginia?
john fredericks
Those Mountaineers? Mountaineers.
steve bannon
Incredible. You guys are not too competitive when it comes to college football, right?
Joe Reek, we got Jack Posobiec.
The great Jack Posobiec is going to join us here in a second.
Hang on. Jack's got some breaking news.
Jack wanted to be here, but he's out doing investigative reporting for us.
Joe Reek, tell us about one of the products there.
We want to make sure everybody in East Palestine and at home knows about it.
joe rieck
So today I brought our Alexa Pure Pro water filtration system.
This is a must for every family.
Every family in America needs to be filtering their water.
You cannot trust what your local authorities are telling you what is in your drinking water.
So everybody can save $80 today on our Alexa Pure water filtration system.
Wow. Here at MyPatriotSupply.
We want to show our support to the people of East Palestine.
That is why we're here. We will be here along with Steve, along with John, educating people on what to do for different emergencies, how to get better prepared, what items you might need, anything from water filtration to long-term emergency food to power banks so you can power your cell phone if the power goes out.
So we are here on-site, ready to help people as much as we can.
steve bannon
Joe, thank you so much, brother.
All the way from Salt Lake City.
I tell you what, we're going to go in the crowd and have some more interviews.
We've got Ben Burquam.
We're going to toss over to him in a second.
But we've got the great Jack Posobiec.
Jack, join us here in East Palestine, brother.
jack posobiec
Steve, thanks so much for being there.
Thanks so much for having me on.
Shout out to all the folks of East Palestine, to the folks of Western Pennsylvania that have come by.
The folks of Youngstown, where believe it or not, I've told this story a couple of times, but actually when Tanya Tay, my wife, first immigrated here, she left the Soviet Union, came to the United States, that one of the very first places that she ever lived in the United States was, believe it or not, Youngstown, Ohio.
Not far at all from where you guys are right now.
So we're with you so much in spirit.
We're praying for you.
We're also tracking, by the way, this Delaware River spill.
The 10,000 gallons, possibly 12,000 gallons of latex that's going in in Philadelphia.
On the other side of Pennsylvania now, we're hearing that there was a notification that went out from the local government to tell everyone to go buy bottled water.
You can't buy bottled water in the city of Philadelphia now.
There's been an absolute run on this.
So we're seeing it happen more and more.
But here's the message that we're going to send from War Room, from myself and everyone at Human Events Daily.
You will not be forgotten.
You will not be abandoned, and we are going to hold all of these officials to account, whether it be Josh Shapiro, who's a Democrat, whether it be Mike DeWine, who's a Republican, we're going to find out who made the call.
And you've got people in both legislators that are actually digging on this, and you've actively got journalists, reporters, and investigators like us that will make sure to never let this go.
steve bannon
Jack, you've got a lot of fans here.
Let's give it up for Jack Posovic.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
Does the great Tanya Tate, does she regret not meeting a nice guy in Youngstown and ending up with you?
jack posobiec
Oh, she doesn't regret it for one second.
Not for one second. Nice Polish guy, we could say.
unidentified
Nice Polish guy. Okay, I'm going to come to you with the breaking news.
steve bannon
We've got this tragedy in Nashville.
What I want to say is I think I've only said it one time to a reporter.
But in the 16 campaign when I stepped in, and I think it was 100 days ago President Trump was down, I don't know, 8, 10, 12, whatever your polling was.
One of the things we focused on every night, because we were doing overnights every night because we were so close, was the focus on Youngstown, Ohio and the general area around Youngstown, Ohio.
Independents, Democrats, Trump voters, right?
And this is why I was so, I don't want to say cocky, but I kept telling the president, you have 100 % metaphysical certitude you're going to win.
Because we could see Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, all of it coming his way.
And that's why, and Wisconsin.
And that's why, because the demographics around here is quite emblematic or symbolic of what the demographic is.
All over this part of the country, right?
And I kept focusing on Youngstown.
You could see the move.
And I said, we're going to pierce the blue thing.
And the geniuses of Morning Joe, every morning they were mocking us.
Why is he spending time in Michigan?
Why has Bannon got him up in Wisconsin?
Why is he in Pennsylvania? These are lost.
Those idiots don't understand the working class and middle class of this country and the heartland of this country, right?
You guys want to make America great again.
That's what resonated with you.
And we're gonna do it again. Jack, I know you couldn't be with us.
You wanted to, but you couldn't.
But I want to talk about your reporting coming out of this horrible, horrible tragedy in Nashville.
What do you got for us? Because there's something deeply wrong about what happened in Nashville yesterday.
These shootings are terrible.
But there's something to this, an element to this, that is particularly disturbing about the targeting and really slaughter of young Christian children.
jack posobiec
Can you talk to us about that? Look, Steve, and this is something where I think maybe the news is still coming out, the news is breaking, people are trying to wait to see what's happened, but we need to be very clear about what happened here, that this was a school that was targeted not necessarily only because the shooter went there when she was younger,
but unfortunately this school was targeted, Steve, because it was Christian, because this was a 100 % Christian school, and what we have yesterday in They called it the Trans Day of Vengeance, but what we would call it is a Christian massacre.
These six, and three of which are children, these are martyrs to Christianity because of what was done here.
They were targeted for their beliefs, they were targeted for their religion, and we've talked before about how all of this has a war on Christianity element to it, Steve.
It's very simple. At its core, at its deepest level, this is a spiritual battle, and we are seeing now a battle for the spiritual soul of America being played out in these incidents.
So I commend the police, and if people have seen the body cam footage has just been released, The police's response to this was textbook.
I give it a 10 out of 10.
The way they cleared the rooms, the way they took down the shooter.
Absolute heroes. No hesitation.
Not a single moment of hesitation when they cleared through that school.
It's absolutely horrific, though, Steve.
And you actually see in the video, and it later came out, that the pastor of this church, the pastor of the church there in Nashville, his own daughter was killed.
And when you understand that, you understand why this school was targeted, because it was a Christian school, because the governor of Tennessee has just put it out.
And I've got people, I had a mom from Pennsylvania, someone I've known for years, texted me this morning.
She said, when I dropped my kids off for school today and they go to a Catholic school, she said, I kept help thinking, couldn't help but thinking that her uniforms, my kids' uniforms look just like the uniforms from that school today.
Yesterday and all the parents, you know, everyone felt uneasy.
This is a direct act, a textbook act of domestic terrorism.
But it's also something that I think a lot of people understand that there is a spiritual element.
We've been able to sense it.
We've been able to feel it.
And if you are someone who is a believer, you understand that there is a reason.
And I hate to say this, but there is a reason that they are targeting Christian children.
They are targeting Christian children right now.
And I want to see the leaders, the Christian leaders, the politicians be willing to actually say what happened, Steve, because I haven't seen too much of that yet.
And I'm starting to get a little disturbed by the fact that people won't call this- It's been terrible.
steve bannon
They've been terrible.
They've been quiet. The problem we've got is that people don't preach this from the pulpit.
We've got to get- people got to get on fire again.
Right? We need a great awakening here.
Jack, before I let you go, the police were textbook in the response.
But where's the manifesto?
She wrote a manifesto.
We ought to be able to read. Everybody in the world ought to be able to read every line of that manifesto.
She wrote it. We ought to be able to read it.
jack posobiec
What's happening? Well, I've actually seen, believe it or not, I've seen some reporting, I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but I've seen some reporting that the manifesto, which was recovered by police, some are saying it's a little bit vague, and of course we're still in the fog of war, but some are saying it was in the car, some are saying it was in her house. There was some reporting that the FBI may have taken custody of this manifesto.
If that's true, why is the FBI involved and will we be given...
unidentified
The local police told...
steve bannon
I talked to Michael Patrick Leahy out there in Nashville, the great Michael Patrick Leahy.
He said that he went right to the police and said, we need to see the manifesto.
And they said, well, the FBI took it.
And I said, didn't they make a copy of it?
The FBI did it not to disclose it.
The FBI took it to bury it.
jack posobiec
Look, Steve, this is the same FBI that we know has been making lists of churches working with disgraced and discredited groups like the SPLC, making lists of churches around this country that they view as a little bit too religious, a little bit too spiritual, making lists of people who pray the rosary, targeting people who go to the traditional Latin mass.
This is the same FBI. And Steve, I'll tell you right now, if the FBI is involved, that's because they've opened a terrorism investigation.
steve bannon
Jack, if you can just hang on one second.
We're taking a short commercial break. I just have a couple more questions about this situation.
The FBI report on the Latin Mass was the parish my parents started with the Benedictine monks back in the late 1970s.
They said the Latin Mass, oh, that's a domestic terrorist, right?
Jack Posobo, can join us.
unidentified
Short break. Back in a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Welcome back to East Palestine.
The heart and soul of America.
The broad shoulders that built this country.
Okay, we got a lot of folks to get to because I got Mike Lindell coming out of a duck blind somewhere in South Dakota to talk about the Election Crime Bureau in the next block and the D block.
Let's go to Ben Burkwam over at the bar.
ben bergquam
Hey, Steve. So, I want to start out, speaking of election crime and fighting the battle, J.R. Majewski out here in Ohio, talk to us about what you went through, but how significant what you see going on here is and the ineptitude, the abandonment.
unidentified
Well, I think you see a distinct case here of our regulators and our government and the bureaucrats failing the good people of East Palestine.
And the reason I'm here is because we have the same dilemma up in the northwest side of Ohio.
And we've been struggling with our water.
We've been struggling with the EPA. And it's criminal what's happening down here.
And I think the people of East Palestine deserve a lot better.
But as far as my race, yeah.
I went up against Marcy Kaptur, the Queen Democrat.
And as you've seen in the news, they colluded with the DCCC and illegally obtained my military records using stolen Social Security number.
ben bergquam
Are you going to announce anything breaking right now?
unidentified
Not right now. Okay, okay.
But somebody has to retire Mercy Captain, Ben.
ben bergquam
It's coming. It's coming.
All right, Steve, one more here. I know you'll appreciate this.
We've got a West Point grad. Maureen, come over here, Maureen.
We've got a couple West Point grads in here.
Captain Bannon. I'm going to let Maureen.
unidentified
Tell me your name, brother. Sean Nizowski.
ben bergquam
Sean. And you're here from Ohio.
But the attack on our military, everything that's going on, I'm going to let you guys take this.
Everything that's going on, I'm going to let you guys take this.
unidentified
Yeah, I came out here because there was a call to action, and we've been serving since 1999 when I went into the academy.
Graduated in 2003, and it never stops.
I made an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and that will never stop.
maureen bannon
Yeah, 100%. Once we take off that uniform, we don't stop fighting.
unidentified
We continue to fight no matter if we're in uniform, out of uniform.
We took that oath to defend the Constitution against enemies, foreign and domestic, and we will continue to do that until the day we die.
ben bergquam
Whether that's here in East Palestine or across America.
steve bannon
You gotta be a proud dad, Steve.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
Are there, are there, thank you, Bo, thank you.
We love the West Point. Are there any enemies, domestic enemies of the Constitution?
Any? Any?
ben bergquam
All in Washington. Joe Biden.
steve bannon
Hang on for a sec. Hold it.
Real quickly, what's your website people can go to?
unidentified
We're going to get more of you later, but what's your website?
DianaG1234 on all the sites, and I have a GiveUsAndGo at GiveUsAndGo.com G9VNY. Okay, let's get that down at home.
steve bannon
Maybe we can get up on the Chiron.
We're running out of time, so I want to get quick and dirty, and we'll get more in-depth this afternoon.
Hang on. Sorry, brother. Hang on.
Where are you from? I'm from Dayton, Ohio.
Thank you. Why'd you come down?
unidentified
It's a four-hour drive, isn't it? Yeah, just to support the local people here.
I feel bad for them.
steve bannon
What's your name? Dan.
Dan, thank you for coming, brother.
unidentified
Carol from Struthers, Ohio.
steve bannon
Thank you so much. By the way, are you a war room?
Do you watch war room? 24-7.
Where are you from? I'm from Darlington.
unidentified
My name is Margie. Thank you so much for coming and supporting folks here.
I'm from Youngstown. I love Youngstown.
steve bannon
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Now, what are you doing down here from Youngstown?
unidentified
We're both in a finance and investment area, and we have a lot of people that we work with down here, and they're devastated.
They got financially devastated.
There's not enough attention given to that.
Their homes are worthless.
They're living off their investments.
Their assessments on their properties have gone up.
steve bannon
While their homes are... The tax assessments have gone up while the values are dropped?
unidentified
They're basing it on general numbers.
The areas are going up in value, but they're lumping them in with the rest of the Ohio area and PA area.
They're going down. You can't sell your home right now here.
steve bannon
That's why you need a thing like the Deepwater Horizon.
You need that pool of capital that underpins, that gives us stability to the prices here, right?
And people know that there's a buyer.
unidentified
Without a doubt, but nothing that this country's doing right now makes sense financially.
And we've seen it.
I mean, we've experienced it.
I've done this for decades. Same here.
We're watching what's happening economically and what they're trying to do, supposedly, to make it better.
Is a disaster. We're scratching our heads.
If it wasn't for you...
steve bannon
You mean the overall macro? The macro problem makes...
unidentified
The bank crisis, all of that.
It was a given. There's no other outcome that could have happened.
Everything they did led to that, you know, from printing money to, you know, the fact that that's going to cause inflation, which is going to make the Fed raise rates, which is going to make bonds go down in value, which is going to make the banks have these issues.
And if people knew the numbers behind what the real stability in the banking system isn't, I don't think anybody would be scared.
steve bannon
And you see that as a financial guy?
unidentified
When you look at the debt, and when we look at it the way we're supposed to look at economics, we're scared.
Because we're thinking, how do we pay for this?
The next emergency, where are we going to get the money?
There isn't much left.
It's self-inflicted. It's obvious.
steve bannon
It's 100%. This is the reason.
Remember, when I first started doing the show, what people told me, oh, you can't talk about capital markets.
You can't talk about macroeconomics.
People don't want to understand it.
I said, you can't understand where the country is and the direction of the country until you understand the economics.
Why do you think they never talk about it?
Cable TV is all pro-wrestling, right?
It's not the core of the issues that matter.
And you're 100 % right.
When we had this crisis with Reagan and Volcker back in the late 70s, early 80s, and then even in 2008, we're not the same country.
We don't have the same manufacturing base.
Well, you can see it here in East Palestine.
Where are all the jobs left?
We don't have the same balance sheet, and we certainly don't have the same manufacturing base, right?
And quite frankly, we don't even have the same technical skill set.
That's the difference today.
All they're doing, they're in a jam.
They're just going to print money.
And the people that are rejecting this mostly...
Are what we call the BRICS, the Global South.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and the rest of these Global South nations that have the resources and the assets, they're saying, well, hang on.
If I'm in this system with the dollar, you guys are devaluing your currency continually.
Why am I going to take a Federal Reserve note that's going to be worth a lot less, and I'm giving you up our natural resources?
unidentified
That's common basic economics.
And if you watch CNBC, I don't think they understand that.
Obviously, their agenda is not to be honest with people.
I'm Jim Cramer, and I'm not to call people out by name.
I have to say thank you to you, Peter Navarro, Steve Cortez, Dave Brat.
Because we were listening to what Wall Street is saying, and it didn't make sense.
So when we tuned in to you guys, we were like, ah, that makes sense.
steve bannon
We made a joke. You should know that Cortez, there's a bunch of people who have come to Cortez, companies, privately held companies of entrepreneurs that are worth tens and hundreds of millions of dollars that used to have consultants to tell them macro where things were going to adjust their business.
Ten or twelve companies have fired them all and just said, hey, I watch War Room in the morning.
But that's what we try to do is put you in the room like you're a CEO. Right?
Like, you're the C-suite.
And to talk to you... The other day, we had Savannah...
Stephanie Pomboy on, who's terrific.
But she was hesitating about talking about the Greenspan put and about inverted yield curve.
I said, no, no, no. Between the break, I said, this audience hears it every day.
And the only way they're going to learn it, you've got to repeat it, repeat it.
Don't be general.
Get into the details.
Get into the specifics. Because the War Room Posse likes the receipts.
You've got to show them the receipts.
So hang on, we love talking to you guys.
unidentified
I'm Tim, and I'm a minister from about an hour west of here.
I won't name the church after what was said about the FBI and churches earlier, but I gotta tell you, I speak for all of us when I say thank God for you.
and for Real America's Voice.
steve bannon
It's a team effort.
We're honored. Listen, it's you.
We're honored to be here. This is so great.
unidentified
Great job. Keep it up.
steve bannon
We're behind you. Yeah, don't give your church name.
The IRS will be like, Matt Taibbi.
He's a left winger. He starts testifying the IRS's door.
unidentified
He comes back from testifying the IRS is there.
Hey, Steve. My friend Bill and I are here from Communist New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
steve bannon
Hold it. The People's Republic of New Jersey?
unidentified
That's right. To say that we do not like illegitimate presidents.
steve bannon
All right, all right.
Is Phil Murphy gonna run for president?
I hope not. I wouldn't mind that.
I think we'd be Phil Murphy.
unidentified
Where are you from, ma'am? I'm from East Palestine, 27-year resident.
My name's Tammy. And I really appreciate you being here because we need some answers.
We need an answer why that the night of that derailment, this place wasn't evacuated further.
They only took a few people out.
There are so many chemicals There were chemicals burning off that night and the next two days.
We didn't find out until Sunday afternoon that there was vinyl chloride burning.
No one told us.
And we had to stay here and breathe that.
What kind of effect does that have on people?
Then they'd go and burn the thing up and blow the whole town up on Monday afternoon.
We need to know. We need to have answers.
I went to the EPA's office and I asked them, would you please come test my soil?
Please test everything because I want to know if there are dioxins.
They told me, well, listen, ma'am, it's like having a barbecue in your backyard.
We can't tell the dioxins because there's going to be dioxins there.
This was no barbecue. So where are the answers?
Where are the results from all of these tests they are doing?
steve bannon
Let me ask you so the audience knows this.
There's been three or four town halls, it looks like, and there's been this congressional, couple of congressional hearings.
In those, have you been watching those or attending them?
Okay, tell us, are they providing answers in those?
unidentified
The congressional hearings, they need to play some hardball.
I know J.D. Vance, Senator Vance, is trying, and actually I had a conversation with him.
He stepped in to help me get my water tested by the EPA, and they denied him.
steve bannon
They denied, Senator, to test your water?
unidentified
Yes, they did. They denied his office.
He gave me his personal card because he was here in town, I think it was two weeks ago now, and no one knew where he was going to be, but my husband and I found his office, or found where the press conference was going to be, and we were the only people from town that were there, so we got to ask like six questions.
So he gave me his card.
He said he'd step in. I talked to him.
I sent him an email.
They sent me an email back, and then they called me and said, sorry that the EPA is denying you because I live a quarter mile between phase one and phase two because I'm in Unity Township when I have well water.
So I'm not considered important enough because Have they done this by geography?
They've done it by geography.
And when you see that map, you're seeing the outline of the town.
But East Palestine zip of 44413 actually goes further.
And I'm about, I guess, a mile from here as the crow flies.
And I'm East Palestine.
I'm Unity Township, though, because...
I have well water, so anything outside of that, those little, the way it's drawn.
steve bannon
You mean all the different folks from around this general area have not had their well water tested by the EPA? Correct.
How could that possibly be?
You tell me. You have not had the soil tested?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, nothing like that.
I can't get any answers.
It's a million phone calls.
It's a lot of running around. It's e-mails.
It's so frustrating.
It's so aggravating. Living in just constant stress.
It's been stress every day for seven weeks because there are absolutely no answers.
And getting back to the congressional hearings, I'm not hearing hardball questions, like really deep and dirty questions.
And where are the investigators?
Where's the press to investigate this?
All of the rumors that were circling Of what happened those three days, there's a lot of stuff that's kind of bubbling to the surface.
Because people talk, people in town talk, and people know people that were there.
There's a lot of volunteers. Where's the journalists?
steve bannon
Doesn't the EPA have a field office here?
Aren't they open to people come and ask these types of questions?
Or is it just for limited people in a certain geographic area?
unidentified
Well, it's the Welcome Center.
And I went to the Welcome Center the day they opened it.
steve bannon
That's kind of Orwellian, right?
unidentified
It's kind of more than Orwellian.
And then they come at you like, they're very nice people.
Very nice people.
But, you know, you ask a hard question.
Why can't I get my soil tested for dioxins?
Well, ma'am, it's like a barbecue.
And we can't tell how many dioxins are going to be there because you probably have them in your yard to begin with.
steve bannon
Hold it. We'll take a short commercial break.
We're going to be back. I think Mike Lindell, we're going to pull him out of a duck blind somewhere in South Dakota.
unidentified

And so I'm quite a distance from here.
Well, not quite a distance, but I'm here to support these people.
After listening to your story and listening to what you have to say, I mean, it brings me to tears.
It just brings me to tears that the government and nobody is here to help you.
But, hey, the RAV room's here today.
steve bannon
We're going to tears to anger, right?
unidentified
We're going to get some stuff done. Hi, Lori from Ligonier, Pennsylvania.

So many people are coming here from far away.
I want to give a shout-out to my political director, Christine Bouserman, who was here on the ground since Saturday handing out flyers all over town.

She's talking about all the great local politicians and people's back.
Ma'am. Hi.
unidentified
Yes, I think in the midst of this tragedy, and I acknowledge that I'm no fan of big government, just like no one in the audience is, but I do think that our local leaders have gone as much as they can to help the community move forward.
The fire chief, the police chief, the mayor, the council people, and the EPA who have boots on the ground here, and even Norfolk Southern has folks here that are trying to move us forward.
And I think we need to be blessed with what we get.
I mean, there's a lot more to be done, of course, and I acknowledge that.
steve bannon
The people in East Palestine don't have to beg for scraps.
No. You're not supplicants.
You're not supplicants.
Thank you. This is the greatest country in mankind's history because of you and the folks that came before you.
You're not supplicants. I agree.
Absolutely. Ma'am, you're 100 % correct.
Local officials and those that are here to help, absolutely, they should.
