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 lie? | ||
| 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. Babb. | |
| Welcome back. It's the 29th of March, Year of Our Lord 2023. | ||
| You're in the war room in East Palestine at the original Roadhouse. | ||
| I said the old Roadhouse yesterday, the original Roadhouse. | ||
| I tell you what, what a great spot. | ||
| Just fantastic. We're here with the Kelly family, and we got Joe Reek. | ||
| Joe, I know you got a punch and catch a flight. | ||
| Can we thank Joe Reek for my patience for coming to Always Salt Lake City? | ||
| Yes. The people in Utah have the people in Ohio's back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My Patriot Supply has America's back. | |
| We're here to support Americans. | ||
| We're here to support everybody and educate people that everybody needs to be prepared. | ||
| Joe, you've got some special gifts for the Kelly family. | ||
| Can you explain what you're going to do and the water filter and all of it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. We brought our Alexa Pure Water Pro filtration system here to give to the Kelly family, along with a three-month supply of our long-term emergency food. | |
| This is the stuff that has up to a 25-year shelf life, along with the Alexa Pure Water filtration system. | ||
| That'll be about the time the chemicals are out of here, right? | ||
| You'll crack open the MyPatriot supply. | ||
| No, no, we promise it's going to be shorter than that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can rest assured that you can have what it takes to be prepared and have that peace of mind that if anything comes your way, you can at least take care of the small children and the people in your family, those who you care about. | |
| Again, My Patriot Supply, we are here to help. | ||
| We're here to help people become better prepared. | ||
| Tell us about the water, because this is obviously a huge deal here in this town. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a huge thing. Not only here in East Palestine, but everywhere in America, everybody needs to have clean, potable water. | |
| Again, we've learned that you cannot trust what officials tell you. | ||
| You need to do your own research, and every family needs to have a water filtration system to get the contaminants out, to get the lead out, to get the fluoride out, to get the things that harm us. | ||
| You know what? I'd like to. I want to find the guys that built this for you because I'd like to show them the Rube Goldberg contraption they've got in the creek. | ||
| I just want to ask some questions of people that are knowledgeable because it looks like it's performative to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It looks like it's just there. It looks like a showerhead could have done a better job than what they've got going on over there. | |
| Amen. Thank you so much, Joe Rico. | ||
| We know you've got to run. Thank you for sponsoring this and thank you for being here, brother. | ||
| Thank you, guys. By the way, has anybody told you you look like MTG? No. | ||
| You look like MTG. No, she's a grandmother also, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to have to look that up because I'm not even sure who that is. | |
| She looks like MTG. She looks like those fighters. | ||
| Margie Taylor Greene. Okay. | ||
| Thank you guys very much. | ||
| We'll make sure, Mo, make sure you get it. | ||
| And thank the kids. We're going to make sure this thing, we figure this out, okay? | ||
| Thank you guys. Thank you for coming. | ||
| Appreciate it. Thank you so much. | ||
| God bless. You know, it's bad enough. | ||
| It's bad enough abandoning the old folks, right? | ||
| Of which I consider myself. | ||
| But when you abandon the... That just shows you. | ||
| They don't give a damn, right? | ||
| They just want you to shut up and go away, right? | ||
| Now, did they abandon the folks in Silicon Valley that are the technical elite, the technological elite, right? | ||
| For one weekend, when they had all the money, they bailed them out. | ||
| They were all over. We're going to have Joe Allen here. | ||
| Get him up here in a second. | ||
| Come on over here, brother. Thank you. | ||
| What I'm most amazed about is the common sense and understanding. | ||
| It's one of the predicates of what we've done The War Room with, and we're going to have Cortez up. | ||
| We treat this show like every day we're briefing a CEO or a board of directors. | ||
| We don't dumb it down at all. | ||
| In fact, we had Stephanie. | ||
| Somebody said Stephanie Pomboy. | ||
| Who's fantastic, the macro maven. | ||
| First time she came on the show, she reached out to us and said, hey, I see all the stuff you're doing. | ||
| She goes on the business shows. | ||
| She goes, we'd like to come on to the War Room. | ||
| And she came on and she was fantastic, but she didn't want to use the technical jargon. | ||
| And I said at the break, I said, this audience, if they don't understand it now, they're immersed in it and they're going to understand it. | ||
| But you've got to keep rolling. | ||
| And that's why she came back. | ||
| And the same thing with the technical details. | ||
| You guys, I've heard more logical presentations and thinking here than in all the prep we've done, and we've watched all the hearings. | ||
| And quite frankly, what I'm really disappointed about the staffs, the staffs on the Hill, they're not giving good questions. | ||
| The politicians are asking ridiculous questions, right? | ||
| These hearings go on forever, and they never get to the heart of it. | ||
| John Fredericks. You know what this is about, folks? | ||
| It's truth versus lies. | ||
| It's transparency versus suppression. | ||
| And it's heart versus abandonment. | ||
| That's really what this is. | ||
| And you have taken the hearts and the souls of America in these two days. | ||
| People are watching this all over the country. | ||
| The feedback that we have gotten. | ||
| You're loved. | ||
| You're cared for. You're the heart and soul of this country. | ||
| Amen. And we've seen it. | ||
| I want to bring Christine in for a second. | ||
| Christine, come here. | ||
| I'm working. Christine's my political director. | ||
| She came here Saturday. | ||
| She went door-to-door handing out flyers to get people here. | ||
| And she's got a message that she told me. | ||
| And I said, you know what? Why don't you say it, Christine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, everybody. First of all, you guys don't give up, all right? | |
| Go down to that EPA Welcome Center. | ||
| Go down here on the left, right next to the Republican headquarters. | ||
| Every single day, you guys go in there and ask them these questions. | ||
| And don't think there are people, you can feel it in here, who want to help you. | ||
| They just are afraid right now. | ||
| The fire department told me, too, Norfolk Southern is replacing all their equipment and all their gear. | ||
| And they're right, these are their firemen's suit. | ||
| Why? I said, why? Why? | ||
| And they say because they're covered with chemicals. | ||
| So you need to go ask them about why your businesses aren't being replaced. | ||
| I mean, dude, and I just go say, hey, we want in on this deal, right, with the fireman. | ||
| Line up. And we need you to call in to John Fredericks. | ||
| He takes callers from 6 to 10 a.m., 8 to 10. | ||
| Please keep calling in, and we want to keep this. | ||
| Like the guy said with the thing, this is going to be... | ||
| We have to assist and be a platform for organizing. | ||
| You've got to get organized. Even in going to the Welcome Center, what they're trying to do is wear you down. | ||
| It's so time-consuming. | ||
| I talked to 40 people. It's maddening because I get 40 different answers. | ||
| There's got to be an organizing thing. | ||
| One of the reasons we wanted to come What you're showing the nation and the world, this is populism, right? | ||
| Because your betters, right, are just going to give you happy talk like you saw Michael Regan on the Morning Mika show. | ||
| Oh, it's getting better. | ||
| There's nothing there. You just have to trust the government. | ||
| Well, that's absurd. Nobody's going to do that, right? | ||
| And they shouldn't do it. And the government shouldn't expect you to do it until they make the case. | ||
| And they make the case with the receipts. | ||
| They make the case as being detailed as possible. | ||
| Wear them down. Wear them down. | ||
| Yes. You know, the young lady we had on our TV show, I think it was on, when was it, on yesterday, early in the morning, that has a cat. | ||
| By the way, cats for Trump sticker right here. | ||
| I'm a cat guy. As soon as I saw that, I love you. | ||
| I don't know who you are, but she got a sticker on cats for Trump. | ||
| I got a cat. Sammy got his own Twitter handle, at SammyTrumpCat. | ||
| God, no pitching in the wardroom. | ||
| I love my cat. So bad. | ||
| Yeah, but I love my cat. Anyway, she's got a cat, and the cat, if you let him out, they eat grass, right? | ||
| That's what cats do. | ||
| Not in East Palestine. So she's like, I want to get my soil tested. | ||
| It took her a month. | ||
| There she is. | ||
| She had to go from place to place to place. | ||
| Finally, Norfolk Southern was trying to shut it down. | ||
| She had to go to Texas to get a little vial of her soil tested so she can let her cat out. | ||
| This is the stonewalling that's going on here. | ||
| It's got to stop, and it only stops by keeping it alive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also, can I mention East Palestine Off the Rails? | |
| It's a Facebook group dedicated to this mess here. | ||
| So please, everyone around the world, check it out, East Palestine Off the Rails. | ||
| And you had mentioned, can I talk for a second? | ||
| Okay. Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Big fan. When I take the mic, you can't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. You know, my wife and I were interviewed on a bunch of national TV shows, and the first few times, Greg Kelly, he said, Hey, Rick, how are you feeling? | |
| And I said, I feel the same as I did before the accident. | ||
| That was before I started filming in the Creeks, and it was a weekly event. | ||
| I was turning over rocks and filming. | ||
| Shortly after that, Nasal cavity burning, throat burning, chest burning. | ||
| Embarrassing to say, I hadn't had a regular bowel movement in four weeks because it attacks your digestive system as well. | ||
| It's just been constant diarrhea. | ||
| And I'm not like that. And I woke up in the middle of the night when I was showering. | ||
| So I felt something on my back and it was huge. | ||
| I guess it was like a histamine response. | ||
| I have pictures of it. I didn't tell my wife at first because I didn't want to worry her. | ||
| So the next day I got her and we took pictures and it looks like, almost like a, I said it's too early for lymphoma, that would be too quick, but it was very large. | ||
| So all these things you're hearing about... | ||
| This has all come from the date from when the event happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm 59 years old. I've never had anything like that in my entire life. | |
| You're 59? What is it, dude? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is it, dude? This is Shangri-La. | |
| We've got to clean this. I'm going to get rice. | ||
| No, stop. You're not 59. | ||
| Impossible. There's something wrong out here, man. | ||
| I think I'm in a Twilight Zone episode now, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is the weld. It looks like American weld. | |
| And here's the side shot of it. | ||
| This is a family show, but let's go ahead and show it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know how well you can see that on camera. | |
| Yeah, it's about the size of like a saucer, a teacup saucer, swollen like a... | ||
| I guess it was like an allergic response to the chemicals. | ||
| But you're a doctor, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. Yes. | |
| And so did you go have another doctor check it out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. I had blood. | |
| I write my own prescription for blood work the beginning of every year, so I may have follow-up blood work done. | ||
| But shortly after, it took about four days for that to go away. | ||
| Let me just say right here. | ||
| And you said shortness of breath? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a... But the key thing is, hold on. | |
| Before we get crazy, when this area starts warming up into the 70s, 80s, and 90s, that's when the VOCs are going to be released from the ground and the water. | ||
| Walk us through that. Why? What's that? | ||
| I got a C in high school chemistry. | ||
| It's off-gassing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, it off-gasses, but it has to heat up. | |
| Whenever I went to do labs, whenever I went to do labs, they had to heat the soils up that I sent for Diane and several other people that I've been testing for. | ||
| Okay, they gotta heat it up, then they test it. | ||
| So I have to send it in a freezer pack, in a cooler. | ||
| I ship it directly in a cooler overnight. | ||
| And then they get it and they bring it out, then they heat it to see what's actually in the soil. | ||
| So this area hasn't experienced really anything until the heat goes up, until we go into the 70s and 80s, possibly 90s. | ||
| Has anybody talked about that? | ||
| Have you had a town hall meeting to discuss when summer comes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, nobody's sharing all this. | |
| It's scientifically a fact, but nobody's sharing. | ||
| Just like the one gentleman over there said. | ||
| And you too, sir. There's no plan. | ||
| And nobody's saying anything. | ||
| Let me ask you about the medical. | ||
| We saw the children, we saw yours, of other people, and Ed Henrys even was complaining about it. | ||
| Is there a town hall? | ||
| Do you guys go and have you made a presentation, hey, we're sick, this has happened, or has it just been on news media? | ||
| Has there been any organized effort of the local community or the government or anybody, the Ohio Health Service, to be here and take witness testimony or the kinds of things we saw at the Doug Mastriano hearings? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anything? In Pennsylvania, I was actually shocked at how well they were organized doing that with local residents. | |
| Nothing like that has gone in at all. | ||
| Where's Mike DeWine and where are the guys in Ohio? | ||
| Has your local congressman been here and done anything? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. Here and gone? | |
| Yes. Coming for a photo op and then gone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also, when he was talking about the chemicals off-gassing, when I talked to the EPA last Thursday, they said that they're getting high readings of butylacrylate when they're digging up the site there. | |
| And that's why the residents smell. | ||
| First of all, why are they all still there, the residents? | ||
| Secondly, when you bring butylacrylate in a tanker into a factory where it's offloaded, it needs vented so it comes out of the tanker. | ||
| Well, they put a special vent hose on it, and then that vent hose has to recirculate back into the tanker, so not even a minuscule amount of butylacrylate vapor even comes into the factory. | ||
| So that is what is being pumped up through here, and it attacks your digestive tract, your respiratory system, your mucous membranes, and this is where a lot of the rashes are coming from. | ||
| And they're not moving people out of that area. | ||
| It is criminal nature. | ||
| So the same people that they moved out because they're afraid of the explosion of the tanks that very first night, they all came back right away and they've been there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, yes. | |
| And this is from the EPA themselves, they're saying they're getting high readings of butylacrylate at the crash site now while they're digging it up. | ||
| And I don't know if you've seen the 1.2 million gallon, they just constructed, each holds the tankers. | ||
| Did you see those? They just built what looked like whale tanks for SeaWorld. | ||
| And there's going to be up to 1.2 million gallons of toxic fluid in there. | ||
| And actually, Maryland is trying to... | ||
| Hang on a second. Take a break. | ||
| No, no. We're going to continue this. | ||
| Baltimore said, no way. | ||
| Not bringing the water here. Short break. | ||
| Back in the war room in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We're in East Palestine, Ohio. | ||
| It's a rowdy crew, but a very smart crew. | ||
| And I think this is one of the things we've shown in the last couple of days. | ||
| These folks have a better idea of what's going on than experts. | ||
| So, Doc, in summary, give us about what Norfolk Southern's been doing. | ||
| And do the citizens here think it's making things worse? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't know exactly what they're... | |
| There's very little communication. | ||
| As they dig up the crash site, more chemicals are going into the air. | ||
| Per my meeting with the EPA, they're releasing butylacrylate into the air. | ||
| More chemicals are coming down into the creek. | ||
| They just built two large tankers that you could put Shamu in. | ||
| Each one holds 630,000 gallons. | ||
| It's a total of 1.2 million gallons of toxic water that's going to be stored in those. | ||
| This is the toxic water that Maryland won't take, Illinois won't take, New Orleans, they won't take the soil, Houston, they won't take soil, and they won't take the water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we have soil piled up higher than some of the semi-trucks, and that's not hyperbole, that's not an exaggeration. | |
| And it's just sitting there seeping into the soil. | ||
| And it was uncovered for the longest time in getting wet. | ||
| And you know what happens when you put a tarp over wet soil or wet anything? | ||
| It just seeps into the ground. | ||
| And they only put a tarp over it after public outcry or public fervor. | ||
| Hang on one second. Let's go. Is Ben Burquam have somebody? | ||
| Let's toss it to Ben Burquam. | ||
| He's got somebody with him outside. | ||
| Yeah, Steve, so I was actually out here and this lovely young lady came walking up to me and she said, hey, I got to tell you a story. | ||
| Talk to me about what's happening on Easter. | ||
| Tell us your name and then what you guys are planning to do on Saturday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is an Easter egg hunt here on April 8th at 11 a.m. | |
| in the park. And that's right behind us right here on the park that got flooded by the contaminated water. | ||
| Yes. What do you guys as a local community think about this and think about the response that you've seen so far? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they're going to bring children on that property when it hasn't even been tested at all. | |
| Oh, by the EPA, maybe. | ||
| And you guys own a small business here in town. | ||
| You live in town, but you haven't been able to come back to your house since. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, we have relocated here. | |
| I call myself mobile here, there, everywhere. | ||
| You know, some hotels kick us out because they're booked for the weekend, so we have to leave and come back. | ||
| It's been awful. | ||
| So what are you guys doing about it? | ||
| Saturday, I know we have Reg inside. | ||
| By the way, there's a guy inside, Steve. | ||
| He's got flyers. His name is Reg. | ||
| He's gonna hand those out to people. | ||
| What is your request for the people of East Palestine to do on Saturday? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come out and help us have a peaceful protest against the railroad, EPA, and a list of demands we'll have of what we want, like independent testing. | |
| What time and where are you doing the protest? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's at 12 o'clock to 2 down here at the hot dog shop and Rite Aid is where we're going to meet. | |
| Thank you so much. Steve? | ||
| Thank you so much. So hang on for one second. | ||
| So we'll do the pregame on War Room Saturday morning. | ||
| We'll do the pregame from D.C. and make sure we get some people on. | ||
| Where's the protest going to be again? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. It's at Rite Aid parking lot and the hot dog shop down here at the center part of town. | |
| Is that going to be near the Shamu tanks? | ||
| Wouldn't you protest by the Shamu tanks so the whole world can see what they're doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but my husband's business is down there. | |
| You're welcome to go interview them. | ||
| They have their own story of how the EPA's just run amok down there, not monitored the dust flying or watered the streets. | ||
| Since they had a big stink, we now get to water the streets. | ||
| But that was a big, huge production to try to get them to do that. | ||
| I saw that this morning. By the way, Steve, you have to see these tanks. | ||
| They're enormous. They're right down in the center of town by the railroads. | ||
| And I was just down. They won't let you back in. | ||
| I drove down the road. | ||
| I reported from last time we were here. | ||
| They blocked me from going in there. | ||
| But we were able to get by a couple days ago. | ||
| And he's right. The mounds of this contaminated dirt are enormous. | ||
| They're like mountains. And just in the last storm, they had the plastic on them. | ||
| And when I was there just a couple days ago, all the plastic had blown off. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. The wind was so bad here, that dirt had to have been blown to hear the kingdom come. | |
| Everywhere. Do you trust anything about what you're being told right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. We want the truth. | |
| Where's the manifest of the train? | ||
| All the stuff that was on it. | ||
| Where is that at? You deserve answers. | ||
| Yes, we do. We absolutely do deserve answers. | ||
| Okay. Hang on for a second. | ||
| We're going to go with your partners in here, Mo. | ||
| First off, let's see. | ||
| We've got Shamu tanks. | ||
| Is that a human being right there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a person in the corner there. | |
| That's how large they are. | ||
| There's two of them. They constructed those last weekend, and there's two of them. | ||
| They hold 630,000 gallons apiece. | ||
| I take it the reason they're doing that is they can't ship it right out to Baltimore and to Houston. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm assuming. But they don't tell us much. | |
| But that is going to be a mix of toxic water. | ||
| So the people that will accept it are the people in East Palestine, Ohio? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. Supposedly. | |
| Let's see this again. That is outrageous. | ||
| Did they have a town hall and explain to you they were going to put... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. They just appeared. | |
| They just appeared? Yeah. | ||
| And they had no explanation and not come to you. | ||
| Each tank holds how much water? | ||
|
unidentified
|
630,000 gallons. | |
| So combined, there's 1.2 million gallons of contaminated water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. Where's that water coming from? | |
| Wow. And no explanation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, not that I know of. | |
| Wow. Hang on for a second, Doc. | ||
| Tell us about the protest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I was just out with Ben, and I was just taking photographs, and I met the lady that's organizing the protest. | |
| So for the residents of East Palestine, I have flyers for you, so we'll distribute them. | ||
| You can come see me, or I'll come to you if you just show me it. | ||
| I mean, here's the thing. | ||
| Here's the thing. It's come to this. | ||
| This will be eight weeks this Saturday. | ||
| Or after eight weeks, you finally... | ||
| I mean, people have to protest because they haven't dealt with you straight. | ||
| I can tell the railroad. | ||
| I can tell the government. If you came to this town and just walked through in detail, these folks are plenty smart enough, in excruciating detail, what the science is, what the mathematics is, and just make a presentation, you wouldn't have protest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're getting tired, too, I think, our townspeople. | |
| They're getting tired. Yes, because of the runaround. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Getting fatigued. Yes. I mean physically fatigued and tired, exhausted. | |
| Physically fatigued. Yes. | ||
| Because of the toxins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that and because you work trying to make change and nothing happens. | |
| Yes. But that's also the system they want. | ||
| They want to wear you out. Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mo? So I'm here with Lonnie. | |
| She lives 1200 feet from the derailment and she testified before Senate with Doug Mastriano. | ||
| I testified at the first Senate hearing in Pennsylvania for Senator Mastriano. | ||
| I was home the night of the train derailment. | ||
| I want to know why we have been failed repeatedly over and over and over. | ||
| From the moment that train derailed, we have been failed. | ||
| Failed in which way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No one is helping us. | |
| No one is helping us. | ||
| We are completely abandoned in our town. | ||
| Our town is getting divided. | ||
| Families are getting divided. | ||
| I know, personally, one of my best friends, she was diagnosed with chemical bronchitis within that first week of returning home. | ||
| She lives by this creek where they're constantly churning that air. | ||
| She does not have any finances to move from her home. | ||
| People in our town live paycheck to paycheck. | ||
| Why are we being failed? | ||
| Why isn't anyone helping us? | ||
| I'm also a small business owner in town. | ||
| Because of the trauma that I have suffered, because of this derailment, I had to have my business shut down for six weeks. | ||
| I could not physically handle being I could not physically handle what was happening to my family and my friends and mentally. | ||
| I am so tired. | ||
| I am so tired. And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. | ||
| I know I am not the only one feeling this way. | ||
| Is this a general feeling in the community? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. Yes. | |
| When you say the community is starting to divide and families are starting to divide, what is that about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Families are having to leave their homes with their children. | |
| They can't attend school properly. | ||
| My gosh. Children need stability. | ||
| They need a safe place to live in. | ||
| They need a safe home to grow in. | ||
| And they're being uprooted and have to be tossed from hotel to hotel because these hotels are booked by rail workers that are working on these lines and you get kicked out of a hotel and you can't book a hotel for a month at a time and try to live in a one-room hotel with four children or three children or, you know, and pets. | ||
| You have pets and livestock to take care of. | ||
| It's just a complete mess and we have been abandoned. | ||
| We have been failed. | ||
| And Steve, you said, well, how does this divide families? | ||
| It goes so much deeper when something, a tragedy happens like this. | ||
| I have so many patients that come in that the spouse, the husband, the wife wants to leave, but the other spouse won't. | ||
| And they've created such chaos here. | ||
| One spouse desperately wants to go, and the other one just can't bring themselves to do that. | ||
| So it is tearing families apart, too. | ||
| Here's the little boy that I showed you earlier. | ||
| Is that part of the mental fatigue? You're saying that... | ||
| You're not getting straight answers. | ||
| You're getting the run around. You've got all the issues here with health. | ||
| It's weighing on your mind every day. | ||
| You've got the kids. Is that building up the anxiety? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. Absolutely. | |
| Can you show this? Yeah, this is a little boy. | ||
| This is just one of many that I have seen. | ||
| This little boy shortly after the burn. | ||
| Was in the hospital for four days. | ||
| He was admitted with bronchiolitis and diagnosed with some type of chemical exposure. | ||
| Now keep in mind this is four weeks after. | ||
| This is a month after. He was swollen twice that size prior to that. | ||
| Here he is still on steroids for the swelling in his eye and the drooping of his eye. | ||
| So that's just another example. | ||
| Mike DeWine, the governor, came down here and said everything was going to be sorted, everything was taken care of. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not true. He shut down the entire state of Ohio for COVID. He shut down Ohio for COVID, but he won't help us. | |
| Yeah, ridiculous. Good point. | ||
| Before we go to break, you say it's even going to get worse when it heats up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? Yeah, because as soon as the heat is up and you turn your air conditioners on, everybody's going to want to turn them on. | |
| You're going to bring in bad air. | ||
| And you're not going to be able to run air conditioning. | ||
| And as far as the grass and the pets, it's not just because it tests clean now. | ||
| It's not going to test clean in a month from now. | ||
| So don't be letting it grow some grass in the house. | ||
| You know, a little bit of grass or whatever. | ||
| Steve, do not forget Ronald Reagan. | ||
| Ronald Reagan's most terrifying nine words. | ||
| We're here from the federal government to help you. | ||
| You're only paying six points. | ||

Use your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, we've got Steve Cortez who's going to join us here in East Palestine. | ||
| By the way, go to birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| We want to make sure everybody downloads the three-part series, The End of the Dollar Empire. | ||
| You think your life's tough now? | ||
| Wait till the dollar... | ||
| It gets taken off being the prime reserve currency. | ||
| You can see everything about the debt ceiling. | ||
| The third installment is about the coming debt ceiling debate. | ||
| We had Eli Crane on earlier with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Matt Gaetz was up yesterday giving a talk about how they're going to draw a hard line. | ||
| So I want to make sure everybody goes there. | ||
| Also, birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| You get all the free information about your IRAs, 401Ks, all of that with precious metals. | ||
| Go check how they emerge. Immerse yourself in information as you do here in the War Room. | ||
| Steve Cortez, thank you for hanging around. | ||
| You got a quick summary. By the way, do we have a lot of Cortez fans here in the audience? | ||
| Cortez, these are the folks that are supposed to be, all the TV guys come to us and say, why do you spend all that time on business and capital markets? | ||
| These people are too dumb to understand any of that. | ||
| What are your thoughts, sir? You know, to that point, Steve, so I'm traveling right now, and I was in the airport yesterday, and a man came up to me, as often happens, fan of the war room, part of the posse. | ||
| And he happened to be a farmer and started talking to me about the inverted yield curve and what I think of the curve from here. | ||
| And it was very instructive that the audience thirsts for this kind of information. | ||
| They want sophisticated information. | ||
| They don't want to be talked down to. | ||
| And they want to be armed with the knowledge that they can then become activists. | ||
| And that is so key. And, you know, to the point of the good people there who are just the heart and soul of this country, believe me, as somebody who has worked in news media, who has worked in financial markets, I can tell you that, unfortunately, the reality is both permanent Washington and the corporate elites, the ruling class of this country, they hardly even know that there is a country between Brooklyn in New York City and Brentwood in Los Angeles. | ||
| They refer to you as flyover country. | ||
| They think that there's an annoying sort of middle to America. | ||
| But the reality is you are the beating heart of this country. | ||
| And you are also the beating heart and the driving force, the animating force of our movement, our patriotic populist movement of America first populist nationalism. | ||
| And so you are certainly not forgotten. | ||
| You will never be forgotten by patriots like Steve Bannon. | ||
| And thank you, Steve, for being there to pay attention to these people, to listen to them, to promote them and make sure that the entire country is aware of what happened to this town because it is an absolute travesty. | ||
| It's a travesty that this town, we know that it was nuked. | ||
| We suspect strongly that it was poisoned and we're going to make sure that powerful interests in Washington DC and corporate boardrooms Pay attention to the great patriots of East Palestine He's he's he's the best he's the best in all media Steve, we'll have you back on tomorrow for Capital Markets and Economics. | ||
| Matt Gaetz yesterday said the Biden administration refuses to negotiate. | ||
| They're saying you've got to increase the debt ceiling and then we'll talk about spending. | ||
| Do you want a tough negotiation on debt ceiling? | ||
| Should we increase it one penny? | ||
| Is there enough cash coming in at the $5 trillion to pay? | ||
| And no chance we can default on our obligations, right? | ||
| On our securities. Cortez, they get this better than the guys in Washington. | ||
| By the way, does your local congressman believe that? | ||
| He's a Republican? Has he been down here and had a town hall? | ||
| He has not come and had a town hall. | ||
| Okay. JD's a good man. | ||
| He's a good man. Cortez is on that campaign. | ||
| Steve, real quickly, the signal that Biden's sending about no negotiation, because I talked to guys last night in D.C., and he says the Biden administration is going to play hardball. | ||
| They are not going to have any negotiation whatsoever on any cuts until the death ceiling is raised. | ||
| What is your belief and observation and recommendation? | ||
| Steve, Biden's economy has created economic crisis in this country. | ||
| It is already crashing. | ||
| If he refuses to negotiate in good faith, that economic crisis is only going to deepen and intensify. | ||
| You know, coming up soon, we've got the NFL draft, and there's a phrase in the draft that you're on the clock. | ||
| When you are the next team up. | ||
| Well, Joe Biden, you are on the clock. | ||
| The Republicans have put forward serious proposals, Speaker McCarthy just did, about what he will actually cut from this budget. | ||
| And you, Joe Biden, are now on the clock. | ||
| It is your duty and your responsibility to negotiate in good faith. | ||
| And if you refuse to, and if you choose to shut down the government, fine. | ||
| I wish you would shut down the border. | ||
| If you choose to shut down The government, fine, but that is going to politically be on you. | ||
| You will own it. And Steve, you're exactly right. | ||
| Through the prioritization of payments, we will not default. | ||
| We will not ignore our solemn obligations. | ||
| But if Biden chooses that level of briefmanship, that is on him at this point. | ||
| Okay, Steve, thank you. | ||
| By the way, would you recommend to play hardball for not one penny increase to shut down the government, force Biden to shut down? | ||
| And these are people that are in this situation in East Palestine. | ||
| Steve Cortez, thank you very much. | ||
| Brother, we'll get you on tomorrow. | ||
| Get the substack and everything. | ||
| Thank you. Appreciate it, brother. | ||
| Steve Cortez. Can we get Kyle? | ||
| Do we have Kyle from EnviroCleanse? | ||
| Kyle, everybody here is talking about air quality. | ||
| We had the great perceptive woman over here, lady who said, hey, it's going to get worse in the summer. | ||
| Kyle, tell us about EnviroCleanse. | ||
| You're approved by the United States Navy. | ||
| What can you guys do to help? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, I do think that comment that the resident there mentioned about it getting hot and potentially getting worse is, you know, spot on. | |
| A lot of these potential, well not potential, a lot of these chemicals that are in that area are quite volatile. | ||
| So as it does get warmer, they're going to get into the air. | ||
| You know, we've had folks down in the community doing some testing and evaluation and we've seen, you know, that is impacting indoor air quality. | ||
| You know, bringing in outside air into your home when the outside air is polluted is not a good thing. | ||
| And, you know, we've been doing air quality for, you know, a decade now and helping people in their homes, in their businesses, reduce a broad range of awful airborne chemicals like, you know, like the ones that unfortunately are in large quantities there in East Palestine. | ||
| If people want to get more information, Kyle, by the way, I love your last name. | ||
| The next time we have you on, I'm going to work it in. | ||
| That is a killer last name, brother. | ||
| I love it. Kyle, how can people, where do they go, where do they get more information about all your products, but particularly about air quality? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can go to EnviroCleanse.com. | |
| That's E-N-V-I-R-O-K-L-E-N-Z.com. | ||
| It shows a whole range of our air purifier technology. | ||
| You mentioned the Navy. | ||
| This technology was developed for advanced mitigation of chemical warfare agents. | ||
| We've just, over the last decade, adapted into more common things. | ||
| Ideally, we would hope we could be helping people with perfumes and odors and fragrances, but in some of these awful instances with environmental disasters, we're helping people mitigate, really, chemical warfare-level airborne toxic chemicals. | ||
| Well, I think that's what we get down here. | ||
| Well, we know it's chemical warfare because it's got phosgene. | ||
| Phosgene gas is what they did when they burned it off. | ||
| Kyle Knappenberger, is that how you pronounce it? | ||
| Knappenberger? There's my favorite right there. | ||
| I may put that permanently up in the war room. | ||
| Kyle, thank you so much. | ||
| One more time, what's the website that people go to, Kyle, to get to EnviroCleanse? | ||
|
unidentified
|
EnviroCleanse.com. Thank you, brother. | |
| Appreciate it. Here's the thing. | ||
| It's like in the testing. | ||
| Somebody's got to step up. You ought to have one of those in everybody's house. | ||
| But the government of Norfolk Southern has got to underwrite this. | ||
| They got to underwrite the drop in property values and they got to expand out. | ||
| They have to scientifically walk people through what the circles and the squares and everything of what's covered and what's not covered. | ||
| And they have to do that. | ||
| So that is what we're going to commit to figure out how to get a series of town halls. | ||
| I think the first thing we do is try to get the IG down here. | ||
| Let's get the IG who's supposed to be totally independent from the EPA. Let's get the IG down here, and then we'll figure out... | ||
| Look, they're not going to say, oh, because Steve Bannon of War Room says it. | ||
| Let's just go down there right now. | ||
| We will figure this out, though. | ||
| We'll particularly figure it out on the... | ||
| And also, to get other authorities down here, I think we can light it up underneath some politicians. | ||
| I also, and I've recommended this since we got here, I think President Trump should come back And have a town hall. | ||
| We don't need a rally. | ||
| We need a town hall. | ||
| You guys agree with that? | ||
| I can go back and tell him that folks in East Palestine would really like to do that. | ||
| We don't need a rally. We need a town hall. | ||
| It needs to listen. Okay, this is my camera. | ||
| Thanks. Do I have, real quickly, do I have Joe Allen or we don't have Joe? | ||
| Joe Allen, another good, good and bad. | ||
| Tell us what the elite said last night on artificial intelligence. | ||
| We've been warning about this for years. | ||
| Where are they, brother? Well, Steve, first I just want to say that, of course, my heart goes out to the people of East Palestine. | ||
| It's, I think, a much more immediate problem than anything that I might cover. | ||
| And I really hope that Norfolk Southern and our government step up to actually give these people what they deserve. | ||
| But last night, open, I'm sorry, the future of life... | ||
| Hang on one second, Joe. Is Joe Allen feel like a guy from East Palestine? | ||
| I mean, you're from eastern Tennessee, Joe? | ||
| Where are you from? Yes, Steve, that's correct. | ||
| And I will say this, too, that, you know, in our neck of the woods, these sorts of corporations and, of course, the government are constantly stepping all over our heads. | ||
| So it's a situation I can definitely sympathize with. | ||
| Yes, Steve, so last night, the Future of Life Institute, and this is an institute run by mainly transhumanists and long-termists, they issued an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on training any AI system more powerful than GPT-4. | ||
| They enumerate a number of risks that are involved, including risks to our civilization and our species. | ||
| And they ask four really important questions regarding the projects that they themselves are pushing forward. | ||
| They ask, should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth? | ||
| Should we automate all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? | ||
| Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete, and replace us? | ||
| Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? | ||
| And they conclude saying such decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders. | ||
| So, as much as I have a lot of reservations about just beefing up the government in ways that could be profoundly damaging to us as much as AI, I think the fact that Stuart Russell, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and even Yuval Noah Harari signed on to this, it represents a double-edged sword. | ||
| They are taking the issue of artificial intelligence wrecking the public psyche seriously. | ||
| That's great. On the other hand, the response, and this is something we've covered a lot, the response is to create more powerful government institutions, which has its own risk. | ||
| Its own risk. Problem. | ||
| Joe Allen, thank you very much, brother. | ||
| We'll get you on tomorrow and go into more depth of this. | ||
| Really, thank you. Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you very much, Steve. Thank you very much, fellas. | ||
| The reason I want to get that on... Thanks, man. | ||
| Can we hear it up for Joe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's fabulous. He's on... | |
| The artificial intelligence and what's going on here in East Palestine are inextricably linked, right? | ||
| Right now, they see American citizens as baggage, as deal baggage, right? | ||
| They're driving this forward to take care of it. | ||
| They're going to take the white-collar jobs first, then you watch. | ||
| There's going to be huge automation with the robots on the blue-collar jobs. | ||
| That's one of the reasons you don't see a sense of urgency. | ||
| I think one of the key notes here has been urgency. | ||
| There's no urgency about this problem. | ||
| One reason they've got that, one reason that no urgency is artificial intelligence and what they're doing in driving this to a totally automated society. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to be back in East Palestine to wrap up just the first of our visits here. | ||
| President Trump with a town hall. | ||
| Is that what we need? I think I agree with you. | ||
| Short break. Back in a moment. | ||

| A couple things. DeWine, State of Emergency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I wonder why he didn't, or he don't declare a state of emergency. | |
| Is there a state of emergency here? | ||
| No. No, but I mean, in reality, should there? | ||
| No doubt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I wonder why DeWine won't claim state of emergency, or is it because Norfolk Southerners are supposed to be paying for it? | |
| But according to the Stafford Act, he could still declare a state of emergency for the original 20 miles radius of the East Palestine, which we got the emergency alert for. | ||
| Do you guys agree with that? | ||
| State of emergency? That's one thing we've got to bring up President Trump. | ||
| This little guy's been so good. | ||
| Who is he? Levi. | ||
| Is he one of your four? | ||
| This is my grandbaby. I tell you, I'm going to get the franchise of this. | ||
| Whatever you guys had, it was Shangri-La. | ||
| See what? I think this is maybe why they did it. | ||
| It was Shangri-La. You're the youngest folks I've ever seen. | ||

| It's a hard life out here. You can't be a grandmother. | ||

Unbelievable. Okay. Why is that, sir? | |

| I noticed the grandparents are the rowdiest ones. | ||
| Didn't want to say anything. I noticed they're the rowdiest ones. | ||
| Fighters, yeah. You can't pull anything over your eyes, right? | ||
| Seen it all, done it. | ||

| We're so honored to be here. By the way, we're going to have a peaceful protest on... | ||
| Are you going to go down to the Shamu tanks? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I think if we could get enough people, I'd love to march right out to the resource center where their claims officers are. | |
| But the one thing I want to talk about was my husband's a business owner here in town, and he was invited to this business meeting. | ||
| So I said, hey, I want to go with you. | ||
| So I went with him and Norfolk. | ||
| He was told that the Port Authority was going to be there to help the businesses financially stay afloat. | ||
| We go there. It's Norfolk. | ||
| Railroad's there, and their videography guy, and they want to rebrand our town. | ||
| That's the Easter Egg Hunt. | ||
| Oh, would you stop? They want to rebrand East Palestine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, honest, yes. Happy Town? | |
| They had a video of the town, and it was a local business owner in the railroad, you know. | ||
| Working together to try to come up with a list. | ||
| They're there writing all their lists, the Easter egg hunt, the spring fling, this road thing. | ||
| We're going to bring people in. | ||
| And I'm thinking, before we even know what's here, the testing, before we have independent... | ||
| That's the Harvard MBA marketing people saying, hey, we've got to get ahead of this. | ||
| This is Orwellian. | ||

We have to do this. Yeah. Say this again. | |
| They can dye the Easter eggs in the creek. | ||

| Is this Trump country? | ||
| You guys are fantastic, I'm telling you. | ||
| It's been amazing. Amazing two days. | ||
| I can tell you from the feedback of the American audience and also the international audience, they didn't know any of the details of what was happening here, right? | ||
| And now they've heard it from your own voice. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, if we took 12 people of you randomly that have come here the last two days and put you in charge of some executive council to sort this mess out, it would be solved, wouldn't it? | ||
