steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
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've tried 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 line?
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 Here's your host Stephen K back
unidentified
You
donald j trump
Who's the biggest problem?
sir? Is it China? Could it be Russia?
Could it be North Korea? No, I said the biggest problem is from within.
It's these sick, radical people from within.
Because we can handle, if we're smart, we can handle Russia, China.
I did. President Xi is a brilliant man.
If you went all over Hollywood to look for somebody to play the role of President Xi, you couldn't find him.
There's nobody like that. The look, the brain, the whole thing.
We had a great relationship.
You know, when he first came to Mar-a-Lago, he came the first day.
He was there for a few days. We were going to have a fifth.
It was so organized by them and by us, but by them.
Everything's like business, no games.
You know, they don't say, gee, how did the Yankees do last night?
Oh, that was a wonderful. They don't care.
They don't care about anything.
I said, do you ever go to a Broadway play?
I'll take you to one. Do you ever have plays like, do you ever go?
No, I don't.
No. He's all, this is business.
These aren't game players, right?
I like it. You know, in a way I like it.
You have no life, but that's what he likes.
Yeah. Top of the line smart.
unidentified
Top of the line. Here we are.
donald j trump
What are we doing here?
unidentified
Liquorate. Here?
Mr. Ness, everybody knows where the booze is.
The problem isn't finding it.
The problem is who wants to cross with the palm.
Let's go. If you walk through this door now, you're walking into a world of trouble.
There's no turning back, you understand?
Yes, I do. Go ahead.
steve bannon
Give me that ax. It is time now to declare unrestricted war on the Chinese Communist Party.
unidentified
Today, we should seize all of their assets.
steve bannon
I can go into Midtown Manhattan and I can show you the buildings that Wang Shi Shan's family owns, that Xi's family owns, that Deng Xiaoping's family owns.
It's like that scene in The Untouchables when Sean Connery says, everybody knows where the whiskey is.
Does anybody have the courage to take the axe and beat down the door?
Now is our call to action.
I don't need sort of clanghorn.
unidentified
Oh, well, you know, we need them in a stable member.
I don't want to be in a cold war with China or a hot war.
I just want China to be a stable member of a global world order.
steve bannon
We need them in a stable member of a world order?
No, we don't. We need them defeated.
We don't need a stable member.
They're never going to be a stable member, you fool.
What are you thinking of?
It's time now to stop the happy talk.
It's time now to stop all the claptrap you see all the time.
It's time now to identify the enemy, take the fight to the enemy, take the torch to the enemy.
And that is enemies that are both foreign and domestic.
Victory is very simple. It is to assist Laobai Jing, the 1.2 billion souls in China that hate them with a passion, to be able to overthrow them.
unidentified
And how does that happen? You stop underwriting it.
steve bannon
You stop giving them access to our capital.
You stop giving them access to our technology.
unidentified
A hard, cold, decoupling immediately.
steve bannon
But you also immediately seize their assets.
That's stolen from the Chinese people.
You'll cut them off to be done in six months without firing a shot, without a carrier battle group out of San Diego and Pearl at the bottom of the South China Sea because the way you're headed, you can't walk into the sucker punch.
unidentified
I'm all for a gunfight when it's time to have a gunfight.
steve bannon
But you only have gunfights when you've done every other thing.
It's Sun Tzu. They want to win without firing a shot.
But if they have to fire a shot, they'll do it.
We must become savvy.
I'm telling you, it ain't going to turn out well.
Wednesday, 12 April in the year of our Lord, 2023, BBC and Taiwan media are reporting that the largest naval exercise, then combined naval exercise between the Philippines and the United States, 17,000 airmen, sailors, marines, soldiers, 12,000 of those, that would be over.
That's a carry battle group or over a division of troops have completed this exercise now north of the Philippines and off of Taiwan.
As the exercises, Taiwan has announced a no-fly zone.
The CCP has announced a no-fly zone.
Very sketchy about what they're calling for, but a no-fly zone north of Taiwan as this starts to heat up.
President Trump, a very powerful interview last night with Tucker Carlson.
I do take umbrage with...
She had a great relationship.
I just want to remind the president that if they didn't purposely let off the bioweapon from the Wuhan lab and it inadvertently escaped from the lab, which is my theory of the case, but it was a bioweapon.
Of that, there's no doubt. They exacerbated that, and the reason they exacerbated that is to end your presidency because you're the first president ever.
In American history to actually take on the Chinese Communist Party and start to bring them to their knees, which is what we have to do.
If we do not heed this warning, if we do not heed the warning to go unrestricted warfare against the Chinese, which they are on with us right now, then we're going to rue the day.
Because I'm telling you, a fight in the South China Sea and a fight off of Taiwan, even if we were to win the kinetic war, it would be momentarily and it would be a great cost.
Costs we do not have to bear.
We do not have to bear this.
It is all quite evident of how you end the CCP. You decouple immediately.
All technology, all technology transfers, any access technology, you cut them off from all capital.
You cut them off from the debt markets.
You cut them off from the equity markets.
No ability whatsoever.
You cut them off from the SWIFT system.
No ability at all to transfer money.
You cut them totally off, and then you seize their assets.
And you start with where their asset is down at the Tesla factory in Austin.
Of the fifth columnist, Elon Musk.
And now we're finding out today that there's a report, I think in BBC, I'll get it up later, that no electrical vehicles can be built in the world without really China signing off on, not just lithium in the rare earths, but other production capabilities.
And of course, Elon Musk is over the weekend announcing a new part of a factory in Shanghai with his CCP paymasters.
Last night on BBC, I think BBC Tech interview, Jack Pasopuk was up, and I think I'm correct.
But I might be proven wrong, but I think I'm correct.
I think he's up there for an hour and a half.
Not one question about China.
Not one question about China.
If it is, it was after I went to bed to sleep on a product of my pillow because I knew I had to be up early to work on the war room.
Okay, we've got a lot going on.
But we should never take our eye off of the revolutionary change in human society, human civilization, human culture that's going on, not just to fight for our sovereignty and all that.
We're going to have Matt Gaetz here later.
Congressman Gaetz, we've got a lot to go through, not just the budget fight and not just his thoughts on these leaks, but he's got a lot to say about young people and big pharma, these drugs that they're forcing on them, the mental health issues, everything that's in back of these shootings.
Congressman Gaetz is going to be here.
We've got Cortez. There's a print this morning.
On inflation, we're going to get to all that.
Ben Harnwell will join us from Rome.
But I want to start with Joe Allen on artificial intelligence.
And I keep saying that we're still within the first 90 days of this revolution.
Think how much turmoil it's had already.
And we're only, you know, we're less than 90 days in.
Joe, I think we've got a, I tell you, we've got a cold open for Joe.
Let's play the cold open for Joe.
It's about Ben Collins over at NBC. Let's play the cold open.
Then we'll bring Joe Allen in.
unidentified
Let's go and play it. Transhumanism is the belief that there are like aliens running the country and that they're trying to get us to inject ourselves with COVID-19 shots, vaccines that are really computers.
It's like a very confusing, complicated thing.
joe allen
For the listeners at home, on screen we have tweets from one Ben Collins of NBC. He says, Today in AI Panic from Steve Bannon's War Room, it makes demon summoning too easy.
He goes on to say, I'm not sure everyone is ready for how unbelievably stupid the next two years are going to be.
Let's hear what Elon Musk and Eliezer Yudkowsky have to say.
unidentified
With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon.
You know those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, and he's like, yeah, you sure you can control the demon?
Demon summoning is easy, and angel summoning is much harder.
Open sourcing all the demon summoning circles is not the correct solution.
I'm not even using, and I'm using Elon Musk's own terminology here.
They talk about AI summoning the demon, which, you know, not accurate.
And then the solution was to put a demon summoning circle in every household.
Joining us now, NBC News senior reporter Ben Collins.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Here are some headlines that I wrote for the last six months.
Fueled by Internet's far-right machine, anti-LGBTQ threats shut down trans rights and drag events.
Remember, there was a drag event happening in Colorado.
Doctors under threat from far-right activists for providing trans care.
Boston Children's Hospital faces bomb threat after right-wing harassment campaign.
There were three of those bomb threats.
A phalloplasty is a procedure to basically create a penis or a phallus for an individual who was born biological female.
Far-right figures appear to be testing Twitter's boundaries for anti-LGBTQ speech.
I want to hear how I can tell these stories better.
The urologists manipulate the tissues in the surrounding area to lengthen the urethra.
A new scrotum is created.
Tucker attacked my colleague, Brandy Zadrosny, who is co-violent on almost all of these stories.
And he went right back into this idea that some they is trying to groom your kids, trying to sexualize your children, right?
Yeah. Who's the they, first of all?
Yeah. I'm Desmond.
I'm 11 years old.
I also do drag, and I love to put on makeup, dresses, and wigs.
And, of course, jewelry is necessary.
My full drag name is Desmond is Amazing.
martine rothblatt
I would say in some ways I change my gender about as often as I change my hairstyle.
What we're working on is creating a situation where people can create a mind file.
Everybody in the world, millions of people, will be able to develop mind clones of themselves that will have their own life on the web.
There are tens of millions of people working on writing code that expresses more and more aspects of our human consciousness.
unidentified
One of the best ways to think about AI in general overall is that it's alien intelligence.
It's as if we had contact with another planet and we met aliens.
martine rothblatt
They're going to think differently than us.
unidentified
their usefulness to us would be that because they think differently.
Transhumanism is the belief that there are like aliens running the country and that they're trying to get us to inject ourselves with with COVID-19 shots, vaccines that are really computers. It's like a very confusing, complicated thing.
But he is an OG conspiracy theorist.
steve bannon
Okay, Brother Joe Allen, tell us, are we not conflating or make sure what is the linkage between this transgender ideology and transhumanism?
You've got 30 seconds before we go to break.
joe allen
Very briefly, Steve, we hear from Martine Rothblatt, who is featured there, talking about the virtualization of the personality and The book that Rothblatt wrote, From Transgender to Transhuman, discusses how that virtualization cross-links between the transgender and transhumanist movement.
steve bannon
Okay. Hang on one second.
We're going to go to break. We've got Joe Allen on AI at the top of the show, where it should be.
We've got Mike Davis, amazing article on Fox, but also a lot going on.
Alvin Bragg not winning in New York right now with this federal judge.
Steve Cortez in the inflation print this morning.
unidentified
a lot more going on stick around here in the war room.
steve bannon

Joe Allen, here's why this is important, because Ben Collins is a smart guy.
Jack Posobiec would disagree with me on that, but hey, I've got my own beliefs.
Ben Collins is a smart guy. He's got a big job.
He's head of digital for NBC News, and that's, you know, whether people like her or not, it's one of the biggest, most important news agencies or news networks in the country.
Senior to MSNBC, which he's all on all the time, too.
But this flippant glib dismissal of transhumanism, which AI is an important part, is we've got to correct that.
The mainstream media is not going to be able to get away with this.
It's dismissing this as some sort of kook, guys with tinfoil hats about this.
This is, I believe, the most urgent issue.
Issue had to face. And then yesterday was announced that the Senate is trying to get together.
They're going to have a public comment segment on commerce to actually comment for the public to comment on what regulations they have.
We're going to make sure you're going to get All dialed into that.
Michelle Bachman, in fact, tonight is going to be with us at five o'clock to talk about the WHO and sovereignty and pushing that forward.
So we're on top of all these things.
We'll get more information to you.
But just give me your assessment because you've been at this and I know you're working on a bunch of different projects behind the scenes of the mainstream media has just not taken this seriously at all.
And now it's kind of caught up with them and they're in panic mode.
Some dismiss it. Others run around like it's cute.
It's far from cute. Whether it's the war in Asia or in Ukraine or different aspects of finance or education, this is going to rip through.
By the way, taking jobs, this is going to rip through society and culture, which we're not prepared for.
joe allen
Joe Allen. Steve, I think that someone of Ben Collins' stature should probably be able to recognize a major political, social, and spiritual movement when he sees it.
Clearly, he doesn't.
Aside from the fact that he was firing shots at us on Twitter, I thought it would be important to educate him on what exactly it is he's covering.
What we saw there, we saw a lot of talk about demons.
We saw a lot of talk about aliens.
And then, of course, we see a lot of talk about transgender people and the transgender movement.
And while they may seem disconnected on the surface, all of them represent something that is very profound.
You have the transformation of the human being fundamentally, biologically, and psychologically.
And then you have this image of this inhuman intelligence that is invading our world, right?
So the demon-summoning circles that Elon Musk or Yudkowsky are talking about, or the sort of alien mind, artificial intelligence as an alien mind, as Kevin Kelly talks about it.
This is very, very common language among people in Silicon Valley and certainly among transhumanists.
It doesn't have to be taken literally.
I know a lot of people do take it literally.
I don't. Not necessarily.
So what's really important to focus on is that the reason those metaphors are used is because this is an extraordinarily powerful technology.
Artificial intelligence and all the other technologies that branch out from it, from brain-computer interfaces to genetic engineering, All of these are extremely powerful technologies that are going to transform us, certainly psychologically, certainly socially, and to some extent, or to a dramatic extent, biologically in the coming years.
And so to dismiss it on the basis of the sort of conspiracy theorist version of it, I think it's very unfortunate for two reasons.
I think that it really does mock a lot of the people who are working really hard to critique the technological system that really does threaten human freedom and human dignity.
And two, for those people who are watching NBC or MSNBC or any of these sort of vanilla generic channels, it really doesn't allow their viewers to think through the problem on a deep level because the problem of artificial intelligence And the problem of automation and the entire apparatus that seeks to change human beings psychologically and socially has been a problem for two decades.
It is going to be a much bigger problem in the next ten years.
All of us need to be able to think this through.
steve bannon
Joe, how do we get...
How do everybody... And I want everybody to go to our site.
It's all totally free.
And you get all the back writings of Joe.
He's been at this for a couple of years now.
He's got a bunch of other big projects he's working on.
But... You need to immerse yourself in this.
As we said, you're the vanguard.
You're the cadre. You're the tip of the spear of making sure this republic is saved.
And we need everybody up on the nomenclature and what we're talking about.
You need to do this because this is urgency.
The Commerce Department has announced they're going to have a public comment time.
We're going to get all the details and hopefully get it up on the 5 or 6 o'clock show today to make sure everybody's up to speed on this.
Joe, how do people get to you, particularly Ben Collins?
joe allen
You can find my latest article, Human Events, a link to it at the top of my social media, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z. You can find it on warroom.org, under the Transhumanism tab.
You can find other stuff at jobot.xyz.
And the article, Steve, is about dancing with the digital undead.
Microsoft, Amazon, using people's data to create a sort of virtual zombie of them, For loved ones to keep around after the person dies.
unidentified
Very eerie. Very eerie.
steve bannon
But hey, we need everybody to get up to speed on this because it's going to be kind of...
What did I say two years ago?
It's going to be a big issue in 2024.
It just is. The 2024 president election, the whole issue of artificial intelligence and transhumanism is going to be a major part of this.
So we need this audience to get fully up to speed.
Thank you very much, Joe Allen.
unidentified
Appreciate it. Great work. Thank you very much, Steve.
steve bannon
So, Mike Davis, Mike, I've got, and you've got this brilliant piece up on Fox I'm going to get to in a moment about the DOJ and FBI's attack on the Catholics, but I want to first, the Bragg, and I need you to explain this to the audience, Bragg thought he was going to have smooth sailing here on his assault on Jim Jordan.
The judge didn't quite agree with him on this TRO, did he, sir?
Did she, sir?
mike davis
No. So Jim Jordan is clearly within his constitutional power and duty to investigate what Bragg is doing up in New York in the Manhattan DA's office.
He has politicized and weaponized the office.
He's using federal funds.
He's violating President Trump's civil rights, due process, and equal protection rights.
So Jordan is clearly over the target.
Alvin Bragg sued In federal court in New York City and just got handed his first loss.
The judge denied even a temporary restraining order, which is a pretty low bar.
So that goes to show you that Bragg's lawsuit against Jim Jordan is frivolous.
steve bannon
What that would mean for the audience is the judges say, hey, time out.
No staff interviews, no nothing is a TRO until you can come to court and argue this.
She basically said, nah, go about your business and I'll see you.
Let me check my calendar.
Oh, I'm free on the 19th of April, right?
Which is, correct me if I'm wrong, a day, a week after Jim Jordan's supposed to have these staff interviews?
mike davis
Yeah, so the judge is not telling Jim Jordan that he needs to cease doing his investigative work.
There's no chance that Alvin Bragg is going to win this case.
And if he somehow wins in New York, he will certainly get reversed on the appeal, whether it's the Second Circuit or the Supreme Court.
steve bannon
The power of Trump in the Trump movement and what what Mike Davis worked on a judiciary.
She's a judge that was appointed during President Trump's time.
I also want to make sure people understand what's going on from last night because this is quite important.
What Mike Davis was doing with Matthew Colangelo and what Stephen Miller in the America First Legal and Jeff Clark explains about Mar-a-Lago in the Euphoria request, they're the smart guys on our side.
I want to make sure people understand how we're winning.
Don't listen to all the nonsense you see on MSNBC and our email.
This is all crap, right?
Like it always is. Like Russia, the walls are closing in.
What they're making the case is, Bragg and the DA in Georgia and the situation in Mar-a-Lago, they're all interconnected back up at DOJ and then hardwired into the White House.
Is that essentially what we're talking about?
That is what these staff depositions are.
That's what Millers reveal on the FOIA request of the special access It's a sophisticated way to get to the heart of the problem.
The heart of the problem, as you're going to show next segment about the Catholics, this all emanates from a corrupt and politicized and weaponized Justice Department that's inextricably linked, not separated, but inextricably linked with the White House Counsel's Office and Joe Biden's Oval Office.
Am I incorrect on that, sir?
mike davis
You're 100 % correct.
This goes right to President Biden.
President Biden is the one who had to waive President Trump's claim of executive privilege in order for the Garland Justice Department to go to a biased magistrate judge who had just recused six weeks prior from Trump's civil lawsuit based upon Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart's clear judicial bias based upon a Facebook post where he was bashing Trump politically.
Biden's hands are all over this.
It's gonna come out, and frankly, it is impeachable.
When you have President Biden working with his Attorney General and his Justice Department to take out his political enemy based upon political, bogus political charges, that is the very definition of abuse of power, and President Biden will face impeachment because of this.
steve bannon
You heard it first from Mike Davis, by the way, and noted that first time we did it was yesterday, but you're absolutely correct.
And this is why what Jordan's doing, judiciary's doing, this is, I know it seems like quite methodical, but you've got a pincer movement going on right now.
And this is going to be a massive fight and a constitutional crisis.
Just wait for it. Okay, short commercial break.
Mike Davis has got a brilliant piece up on Fox News online this morning.
We're going to talk about that. We've got Steve Cortez.
They had a print this morning on inflation.
We'll break it all down for you.
Matt Gaetz is going to be here.
We're wall-to-wall in the war room.
Just hang on. Be back in a second.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
steve bannon
Let's take down the CCP. I'm going to get to the hearings in a second.
But remember, there's a great video made by Max Evans.
I've got it on my getter account we put up over the weekend about Hoke.
One of the guys, the FBI came.
I remember my interview with him.
They talked to folks in the interview.
He was chained like a dog for six hours.
This is a guy that would pray the rosary in front of these abortion clinics.
They chained him like a dog for six hours.
They're trying to break the hobbits.
They're trying to break the most traditional Catholic.
Look, no conspiracy, no coincidence.
The Richmond field office, that parish, St.
Joseph's, my parents helped start that.
With a couple of Benedictine monks from over at the abbey of the prep school I went to, Fr.
Adrian and a couple others, when Pope John Paul II and Bishop Sullivan okayed in the diocese to have a Latina traditional tridentine Catholic service, they formed a parish called St.
Joseph's. That did that.
That's what came out. You know why?
Because these are the hobbits.
This is MAGA. These are the most humble, most patriotic, working class or lower middle class, no money, but super devout in the families with five, six, seven, eight kids.
And the number of young people that went to the academy, particularly the Naval Academy or West Point, who went to the Naval Academy and then became Marines later, was just incredible.
These are the best people in the world and that's what the FBI is going after.
This is the weaponization.
Chris Wray and Merrick Garland are pure evil.
unidentified
100 % evil to their core.
steve bannon
They're not uniparties, not the swamp.
Don't give me an acute term. They're pure evil.
that are torturing and persecuting first century Christians.
What you saw there, Mark Houck was chained like a dog and brought in with all those FBI agents, I'll stay true, for one simple reason.
I want this audience to fully understand it.
He's lived Christianity.
He doesn't talk about his religion.
He doesn't go to church once a week like most Catholics and most Christians.
It is his lived Christianity that brought him to be chained like a dog in that room.
And his victory, if you study the martyrs, you study the saints, that's the victory.
They say it's the most powerful moment, the most, you know, you talk to people, you read it, the most powerful moment.
You flip it back on them.
This is first century Rome.
They're like the Nazis. They're just like the Romans.
There's no difference. And for the state troopers and the FBI agents and the US Marshal, I'm just doing my job.
Hey, go back and look at the Nuremberg trials.
unidentified
Just doing your job is not good enough.
steve bannon
When are you going to be back saying the grocery?
unidentified
Next Wednesday I get back on my regular schedule.
steve bannon
FBI, state troopers, U.S. Attorneys, Merrick Garland, all of you suck on that.
Mark Houck, you're a good man.
Thanks, Steve. God bless you.
So, Mike Davis, this is where they're coming after the hobbits.
I mean, these are the best people, the ones that got the five or six kids.
They're all working class or lower middle class.
They don't make a lot of money.
The family's everything. They've never put career ahead of it.
Their kids are super patriotic, very squared away, look you in the eye, shake your hand, got the firm handshake, the clear eyes.
And what I was most amazed about in the parish is that, and I came from, the Abbey oversaw a military prep school run by the Benedictine monks, and as much patriotism you had there and guys going to academies and going to serve all the time, over at the parish that was the Tridentine Rite that was formed by a couple of monks, Father Adrian and others, who went over and did it, the patriotism was even more.
It was incredible.
And this is what's been targeted by our government.
mike davis
Mike Davis. Yeah, so we have, let's talk about the tale of two federal cases before the Biden Justice Department.
We had back in October of 21, Mark Houck is protecting his son praying outside of an abortion.
clinic in Pennsylvania, and she gets into a scuffle, and so the Biden Justice Department brought felony charges against him and sought 11 years in prison under the FACE Act.
Now, fortunately, the federal jury acquitted Mark Houck, but it just shows you that the Biden Justice Department is willing to go after Christians praying outside of abortion clinics.
Let's contrast that with what happened back in June of 2022, that we have this maybe nota out in the Western District of Washington, the Bellevue, Washington area.
So this deranged trans person attacked a Catholic church badly, spray painted it, caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage, destroyed a statue in the church, assaulted a church worker, assaulted the police, terrorized an old lady praying.
So what did the Biden Justice Department do?
This is coming from the same civil rights division that runs these things under the FACE Act.
So the Biden Justice Department For the NOTA case, did not seek a felony under the FACE Act.
The Biden Justice Department sought merely a misdemeanor, and then they let this NOTA plead guilty to a misdemeanor, and then they just did the most incredible thing.
They recommended zero jail time for this terrorist who attacked a Catholic church worker, a Catholic A cop, a Catholic old lady praying in the church.
This shows that the Biden Justice Department has two standards.
One for their crazy trans activists who are attacking Catholic churches and one for Christians praying outside of the Catholic churches.
And I'll tell you, this leads right up to this Matthew Colangelo that we've been talking about.
Matthew Colangelo worked in the Associate Attorney General's office.
He is responsible. He was responsible for the Civil Rights Division.
His hands are all over these cases.
steve bannon
What should the judiciary be doing about this?
I know it's the weaponization of government subcommittee, but this is out of control.
This is clearly going after people for their, not just religion, but deeply held religious beliefs.
What then can we do?
mike davis
I would haul in the Biden Justice Department officials who are responsible, haul them in before the House Judiciary Committee, and ask them why we have two different standards.
I would haul in Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta.
She's the number three.
I would haul in this Matthew Colangelo, who was the number two to the number three.
At the time, I would haul in Kristen Clark, who was the head of the Civil Rights Division, and still is, and I would haul in Pam Carlin, the number two in the Civil Rights Division.
I would haul in those four senior Biden Justice Department officials, put them in a chair, and make them explain why we are going to sick the FBI and the full force of the Justice Department after Mark Houck, try to put him in prison for 11 years for defending his son outside of an abortion clinic,
praying And then we're going to turn a blind eye to this clear trans-terrorism by this NOTA who attacked a Catholic church, caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage, assaulted the Catholic worker, assaulted the police.
This is unacceptable that they're going to seek no jail time for NOTA and 11 years for HAUK. Okay, breaking news, and Mike, can you interpret this for us?
steve bannon
This is Punchbowl, and these guys are, I think it's Sherman, and these guys are insider insiders on Capitol Hill.
Huge newsflash.
DNC cuts ties with Dem's super lawyer, Mark Elias.
You've got a theory of the case here.
This is breaking news. By the way, Mark Elias, I know you hate Trump, I know you hate MAGA, but you're a lawyer, we want to hire you.
If they've cut you free, I want Mark Elias on our team.
Let me say it. We need Mark Elias.
Mark Elias is a killer, a stone-cold killer.
Why is Mark Elias?
This is a blockbuster news.
This is blockbuster.
You've got a theory of why this is happening, sir?
mike davis
Well, something must be coming down from the Justice Department or something similar because I can't imagine why the Democrats would want to get rid of their best lawyer and Mark Elias.
Republicans butt heads with him, but Mark Elias wins, and he wins a lot.
Like you said, he's a killer.
So there has to be something major, major, major coming down for the DNC to cut ties from Mark Elias.
steve bannon
Now, Mike, Perkins Coy cut ties.
Perkins Coy let his whole group spin off, and Perkins Coy's up to the neck in all this.
But that was probably, people were saying maybe some of their corporate clients were getting a little scared that it was too aggressive, right?
But why would the DNC cut loose their super lawyer and do it in a way like this instead of saying, hey, he's going to do bigger, better things?
This looks like they've actually had a parting of the ways, correct?
mike davis
Yeah, I mean, there has to be something big coming down, whether it's something in the legal process, who knows?
I mean, You know, Democrats are pretty, you know, they're pretty shameless when it comes to personal scandals, so I doubt that that is the reason.
It has to be something that's legal.
steve bannon
Unbelievable. Mike Davis, this piece is incredible.
People can get it on Fox, I guess you tweeted.
What's your social media?
How did they go to Article 3?
How did they get access to this piece you have up on Fox News?
mike davis
So, article3project.org, article3project.org, at...
Article 3 Project, at Article 3 Project on Getter Twitter Truth, and my personal is at MRDDMIA, MRDDMIA. And thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Audience, don't forget the signal here.
The signal is get it all back.
This is all going to be back to the interconnectivity, back to Merrick Garland and the killers he has around him, because they're killers.
They're bad people, but they're killers.
In the Justice Department and then the hardwire back to the White House Council and the people around Biden in the White House.
This is the fight. Mike Davis, thank you very much.
Thank you. Honored to have you on here.
Cortez, I want to get to the Catholic stuff maybe in a while, but we had a print this morning on inflation.
Break it down. What's the important numbers here about this, sir?
steve cortes
So, Steve, the headline number, 5 % overall inflation according to the CPI. Many people, and I'm one of them, believe that that actually understates the reality of how bad inflation is in the country.
But nonetheless, if we're going to use official statistics, it is slightly less worse, okay?
Don't fall for the myth, the narrative out there that the corporate media will try to promote today that prices are coming down.
No, prices are still galloping higher, just not with quite the intensity As in previous months.
But it is still a terrible situation.
And the devil's off in the details.
Let me give you some of the details here.
Because almost all of the break, the cooling of the rate of inflation, was in gasoline, which was down 17%.
But if we look at shelter costs, up 8.2%.
That is the highest level since 1982, Steve.
The highest level in 40 years for shelter.
If we look at groceries, up 8.4%.
Electricity, still in double digits, up 10.2%.
And I would also stipulate, Steve, that those gasoline savings from last month are going to be very short-lived because crude oil today, as we speak, is again above $80 a barrel, $82 a barrel right now.
It was $40 a barrel when Joe Biden was elected.
So the reality is the inflation situation is still terrible.
It's a bit less awful than it was And I would also stipulate the only reason that it's a bit less awful is because the economy is crashing so hard, particularly on the manufacturing side.
So by no means is this good news.
It's unfortunately more of the same and more of crashing real wages.
And let me show that to you in chart form, if we could, please.
We can pull up chart number four.
This is real wages in the United States.
Going back five years.
Real wages meaning, what is your pay doing?
And if your pay is increasing, is it keeping pace with the increase in prices for the goods and services that you need in your life?
The unfortunate reality is, as of today, we now have 25 months, more than two years straight, of crashing real wages as shown on that chart where I highlighted the time that Biden took office, real wages began to immediately tank and has stayed negative ever since.
So Steve, Americans are working harder to get poorer every single day under Joe Biden.
And that unfortunate reality persists for yet another month.
This is the worst streak in all of American history.
Not just the worst streak of the last five years or ten years or since the 08-09 recession.
It's the worst streak in American history, and it is caused, Steve.
It is a created crisis.
It's not bad luck. It's not the business cycle.
This is a created crisis by the policy failures of Joe Biden.
Real wages crashing.
steve bannon
The Financial Times of London has the IMF report.
Global economy faces hard landing if steep inflation persists.
IMF warns they actually have growth rates.
I'll talk to this, Steve, because I think In Powell's view, he's focused on destroying wages to bring inflation down.
The growth rate the IMF has for the United States is 1.6 % this year, and wait for it, 1.1 % in 2024.
Basically a no growth at the beginning of a lost decade.
We're going to get into all of it. Cortez is with us.
Short break. Matt Gaetz coming in.
Be in the house in a little while.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCB. has arrived.

By the way, get together, download it, you can get into a whole community.
I think last night for the Tucker, we did the Tucker, President Trump, very powerful interview.
As Tucker said, he went down with a whole, I think he was going to talk about brag and the court cases and all that, and it really focused on foreign policy, national security.
Very, very, very powerful.
And I think we had 30-some thousand people at the end.
I think it was. I know we had 30,000 for the rest of the night.
My point is you get all the contributors.
You get all of our accounts.
You see all the information we're putting up.
We're trying to give you an immersive experience.
It's totally free. I can use it, and I'm an idiot.
You should be able to also.
Also, we're going to go back to Cortez, but I want everybody to go.
Particularly Gates is going to be here.
We're going to talk about the New York Times piece and The Hill.
Everybody's got these stories now about the infighting that's going on about, wait for it, the debt ceiling and the budget because they're inextricably linked.
We're going to get into all that.
I've got the third installment from birchgold.com slash Bannon, the third installment at the end of the dollar empire.
This is the debt trap.
You've got to get this. Immerse yourself in it.
Understand all the nomenclature and processes we lay out so that you can be not just the most interesting person At your next dinner party or when you're sitting in the stands at Little League or at the Backyard Barbecue, but part of the vanguard and the cadre that are saving this country because you're head of the creditors committee.

So go check it out today.
Steve Cortez, in a sick way, they're accomplishing what they're very upfront that they're trying to break.
They think the way they have to do is break The wages of the working class and middle class in this country with the illegal aliens, they got to bring the wages down.
In your 25 months, in their mind's eye, yeah, they're putting the country through a trauma and they cause it from the spending, but it's a trauma they feel has to happen to bring inflation down.
Am I incorrect on that?
steve cortes
No, you're exactly right.
Unfortunately, it's sort of like, you know, the doctors of former ages when they thought that they were healing people by bloodletting, right, by bleeding them.
That's effectively what the Fed and far too many people in Washington, D.C. are advocating for right now.
They want wages to come down.
As the solution to inflation.
Now, the correct solution is the Fed reducing its balance sheet, okay?
And on the fiscal side, the Congress enacting some actual fiscal sanity, some rationality regarding the exorbitant borrowing and spending that this country has engaged in for far too long, massively exacerbated, of course, by Joe Biden.
That would be the legitimate answer to an inflationary crisis.
But instead, what the ruling class of the United States proposes is, Let's put the answer on the backs of working people.
Let's make sure that wages come down enough to cool inflation.
They don't care that real wages, which is all that matters, that real wages have already been crashing for now more than two years.
And you're exactly right, Steve. To connect the dots between the economic failure and the national security and sovereignty failure of Biden's open border, one of the key reasons that the ruling class loves an open border is because an open border means lower wages for American citizens, which means fatter profit margins for multinationals and corporate conglomerates.
That is the reality. So they are, of course, totally interconnected.
And by the way, on this theme of the small guy, the small business paying the price, we also got out terrible news this week from the National Federation of Independent Business.
The NFIB is the largest organization that represents Main Street small businesses in America.
And if we can pull up, please, chart number one.
I want to show you their optimism which came in at a very terrible 90.
That chart there goes back 10 years.
And as you can see, we are now at a lower level than we were during the lockdowns in the spring of 2020.
So think about that, Steve. As harsh as things were then, especially for small businesses, which were almost uniformly shut down by those draconian and unscientific tyrannical lockdowns, things are now worse according to small business operators.
than they were in the spring of 2020.
We have now spent 15 consecutive months below 98, which is the 50-year average of this index.
We have a lot of history on this index from NFIB. It goes back a half century.
The long-term average is 98.
We are at 90 now.
You can see, by the way, during the Trump boom before the CCP virus, it hit an all-time high near 110.
If we go to chart number two, more data, please, from the NFIB on small business.
They ask them a very simple question.
This chart goes all the way back in the 1980s, Steve, which I really love to give you a lot of history and context.
They ask small business owners, is this a good time to expand?
Very simple question. Is it a good time to expand?
Right now, all time low, Steve.
Two percent. That is it.
Two percent of small business owners say that this is a good time for them to expand.
That is atrocious.
That is an absolute crisis right now in America.
So don't be fooled by corporate media.
Don't be fooled by even the business media, which only carries water for the Biden administration.
The reality on Main Street right now, the reality for small business, which has always been the lifeblood, the dynamism of America's economy, the reality is harsh.
Inflation has crushed them at the same time that growth is slowing dramatically.
So listen, price is truth.
Charts are truth. This is the reality, the truth of the American economy as seen by small business owners in this country right now.
We are in a crisis.
steve bannon
This does not take into account the credit restriction.
Access to credit is shrinking dramatically.
All-time drops in March.
It's going to get worse in April and May.
That is going to affect all the local real estate because that's going to get crushed.
But it's also going to affect the consumer because they're going to call, hey, your $5,000 credit line is really $2,000.
Where's your $3,000 check?
But also small businesses are going to get eviscerated.
unidentified
Am I incorrect, sir? You're 100 % right.
steve cortes
And listen, all of us, even if you don't think you're involved in commercial real estate, you do have exposure to commercial real estate for exactly the reason you cited there, Steve, because it is leading the risks of commercial real estate.
In 2008 and 2009, the risks were in residential housing market.
In this case, it's in commercial real estate.
And even if you don't think you're directly exposed, the reality is there is a credit crunch going on.
The loans simply will not be there for individuals and for small businesses, especially from the regional banks.
steve bannon
1.5 trillion has to be refinanced.
We'll get on to that later.
Steve Cortez, thank you. How did it get to your Substack now that Elon Musk is suppressing it?
How did it get to your Substack and your social media?
steve cortes
You bet. SteveCortez.Substack.com.
Please see me there for my new article, The Syllabus of Economic Errors.
I'm also on Twitter at CortezStee.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, brother. Appreciate it.
Steve Cortez, we're going to break down later today.
I think we're trying to get Navarro today, tomorrow, to break down the inflation data some more.
Thank you, brother Cortez.
Make sure you go check him out on social media in his substack.
Okay, 90-second break.
Congressman Matt Gaetz is in the house, in the war room.

Next. Because we're taking down the CCP. Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
We rejoice when there's no more!
