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've tried 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. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Morning. What can we expect from President Zelensky's trip to the G7 Summit and President Biden's plans to meet with him? | ||
| Well, Katie, we have seen over the course of the now 15, 16 months of this Ukraine conflict just how powerful President Zelensky's personal diplomacy has been in keeping support flowing to his country as it fights off Russia's invasion. | ||
| And this is really a powerful moment, not just for President Zelensky to speak to the G7 leaders as a whole, but to speak to some of the individual leaders of other countries who have been invited to participate as well. | ||
| We've seen just over a million people who have been in the hospital for a long time. | ||
| And we've seen just over a million people who have been in the hospital for a long time. | ||
| And we've seen just over a million people who have been in the hospital for a long time. | ||

Did you say hi to Rahim and Nimmo? | |
| Hey Rahim, Steve, the TriCaster dropped. | ||
| We rebooted it, so we're coming right back. | ||
| We're going to blow the brakes. We've got plenty of time. | ||
| We've got plenty of time. Just come to me. | ||

|
All right. It moved by President Biden as he told the other G7 leaders that he would Okay, | |
| welcome you in the War Room. Saturday, 20 May in the Year of Our Lord, 2023. | ||
| A little technical problem there on a Saturday morning. | ||
| But hey, we're rebooting and ready to roll. | ||
| Here's what I want to do. I've got Steve Stern, Raheem Ghassan, Ben Harnwell. | ||
| A lot going on here in the first part of the show. | ||
| We're going to blow the brakes. You're going to get all of the content here. | ||
| But what I want to do, and thank you, Denver, for rebooting this as quickly as you did. | ||
| If we can go back and play, let's go to the top. | ||
| I want to hear MSNBC, NBC News report this morning on debt ceiling and the cratering of giving F-16 fighter jets or supporting F-16 fighters to Ukraine. | ||
| Let's go ahead and take it from the top. Good morning. | ||

What can we expect from President Zelensky's trip to the G7 summit and President Biden's plans to meet with him? | |
| Well, Katie, we have seen over the course of the now 15, 16 months of this Ukraine conflict just how powerful President Zelensky's personal diplomacy has been in keeping support flowing to his country as it fights off Russia's invasion. | ||
| And this is really a powerful moment, not just for President Zelensky to speak to the G7 leaders as a whole, but to speak to some of the individual leaders of other countries who have been invited to participate as well. | ||
| Just over the last week, President Zelensky traveling throughout Europe. | ||
| He'd been to the United Kingdom, to France, to Germany, to Italy, met with Pope Francis even. | ||
| Yesterday he was in Saudi Arabia meeting with representatives from the Arab League, and today already we have seen him with a series of one-on-one meetings, including, I think, notably India's Prime Minister Modi. | ||
| India is a country, yes, a democracy, yes, one with a close alliance with the United States, but one that has maintained some of those commercial ties with Russia that has helped to continue to provide revenue in the form of oil sales. | ||
| And so this is an opportunity for President Zelensky to continue face-to-face diplomacy to keep that support flowing. | ||
| And yesterday was a significant move by President Biden as he told the other G7 leaders that he would endorse this plan to begin training Ukrainian pilots To use those fighter jets, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan saying they have received commitments from Ukraine that they would not be used for offensive purposes against Russia, but to help give Ukraine an additional piece of support, a defensive power in the skies as they brace for that coming spring offensive. | ||
| Mike, what else is going to be on the president's agenda? | ||
| What are some of the other key major issues he's going to be focusing on at this G7 summit? | ||
| Well, Katie, President Biden is wrapping up what has been a jam-packed Saturday here in Hiroshima, a day in which really the looming specter of China has been the real focus here, the president participating in a meeting of G7 leaders with representatives from the developing world, what they call in diplomatic circles the global south, to try to provide an alternative to what has been known as China's Belt and Road policy. | ||
| This is one in which they provide a level of infrastructure support to developing countries that badly need that financial infusion, but one that those countries have begun to realize over time has come with some significant strings attached in the form of significant debt obligations to China that they can't always live up to. | ||
| And so these democracies, President Biden leading an effort to provide similar kinds of infrastructure support to these countries with a better deal, as they say, without those kinds of strings attached. | ||
| It's a significant effort representative of a broader focus here to try to counter China's efforts to grow its influence throughout the world. | ||
| You can't ignore, Katie, though, also the looming specter of that debt ceiling debate back home. | ||
| We had heard for the first time today in a couple days President Biden be able to give something of a status report on how those talks are going. | ||
| He's saying he's not at all worried about the possibility of default, but also that he thinks that there's still the possibility of something decent, as he put it, to get done. | ||
| You know, Mike, strings attached and debt obligations. | ||
| That does sound like it's being mirrored over where you are. | ||
| Mike Bemley, thank you for joining us. | ||
| Okay, that was the lead White House correspondent. | ||
| Let's break this down for you. | ||
| I've got Raheem Kassam. | ||
| I'm going to bring Raheem in. Ben Harnwell is on deck. | ||
| Steve Stern is going to join us. | ||
| A couple things. Number one, and I've got this up on Getter, the Evercrack staff here, a little groggy as they normally are on Saturday mornings, a little groggy. | ||
| Denver's fine, a little groggy here in the nation's imperial capital. | ||
| The fight, as we told you, Was about the top-line spending. | ||
| Not just simply about the work requirements and all that. | ||
| The Biden regime refuses to commit to actually... | ||
| And here it's not even a cut. | ||
| It's just a slowing of growth rates. | ||
| The key focus and the buried lead here is the 2024 top-line spending. | ||
| They don't want to go back and reset to 2022. | ||
| They don't want to take that $122 billion, which is nothing. | ||
| Just a tiny down payment. | ||
| This is ideological. It is a massive policy gap. | ||
| And so far McCarthy's holding the line. | ||
| He pulled his guys out and went back last night. | ||
| But there's a separation, not just on work requirements, at least all this other crap that's being spun. | ||
| It's fundamental. So McCarthy's got to hold the line. | ||
| We'll get back on the barricades over the weekend. | ||
| Now what we want you to do is get us up to speed as possible. | ||
| I'll talk about the birch gold. Also, huge story on CNN. They finally admitted $2 trillion of liquidity, and they're in panic mode now, the quantitative tightening. | ||
| Remember the juicing of the system, the face amount of the debts of the Treasury, the way they juice the system is the Federal Reserve by printing money called quantitative easing. | ||
| We have $9.5 trillion, $9 trillion over there, never authorized by Congress, never authorized by the people. | ||
| They now realize we said there's got to be, you know, under Trump, he took almost a trillion dollars off the balance sheet of the Fed in his first year and a half. | ||
| Right now they're talking about $2 trillion from the World Central Bank because they printed too much money. | ||
| This is why you just heard contextualize this. | ||
| The Global South is there and having a discussion. | ||
| The Global South is looking. | ||
| They have the resources. They're buying gold. | ||
| Central banks are buying gold at record rates. | ||
| They're going to do what the Russians did, peg their currencies potentially. | ||
| To gold or do crypto to gold, but they have the resources. | ||
| They're not going to take these continual devaluations with this inflation of the Federal Reserve while you're irresponsible on your spending and you can't pay for it. | ||
| They're not stupid people. Let me go to Raheem. | ||
| And Raheem, we've got other stuff to talk about, about this big launch, the reboot you're having, the reimagination, I should say, of National Pulse. | ||
| But I've got to ask you first, Kamala Harris, my crack staff here pulled up Kamala Harris' schedule. | ||
| She's in L.A. just hanging out for the weekend with nothing scheduled. | ||
| You would think the vice president would be here kind of organizing, maybe not in the discussions, but at least organizing the debt ceiling. | ||
| She's in L.A. hanging at the beach. | ||
| The word is, while he's over there, quote-unquote, powerfully pressuring us to finally crater on the F-16s, but remember that he promised, he crossed his fingers, he crossed his heart, and he just said, hey, they're not going to be used for offensive purposes against Russian or Russian territory, just simply for defensive purposes. | ||
| So we've cratered on the F-16s. | ||
| Has Bakhmut fallen, Rahim? | ||
| The big spring offensive was supposed to start. | ||
| Now we're here in the Wagner Group. | ||
| And we just heard yesterday that the Ukrainian army had driven the Russians two miles back off of Bakhmut, and they've kept open the road of life. | ||
| Now the Wagner Group, I think, is in the middle of the town with a video saying, with the Russian flag, saying they've taken the city. | ||
| Your thoughts and observations? | ||
| Yeah, you know, remember when we launched Breitbart London back in 2014, you and me, the press release said from London to Lubbock because Breitbart Texas was being launched at the same time. | ||
| And it just struck me, you know, today we're from LA to Bakhmut, right? | ||
| And let me deal with the LA part of that first. | ||
| There are two reasons Kamala Harris is in LA, right? | ||
| Number one, because if you're Kamala Harris, you want to be in LA right now, so as not to embarrass yourself further in these negotiations, inserting yourself into things, you know, cackling along in the background. | ||
| Number two, If you're Joe Biden or actually the people running Joe Biden, you want Kamala Harris in L.A. right now so she doesn't insert herself into this thing and mess it all up. | ||
| So she's in a perfect place. If I were Kamala Harris, I'd be in L.A. right now too. | ||
| By the way, the buried lead, Steve, on that CNN article that you talk about, about the two trillion, is the dateline. | ||
| Did you look at the dateline on that article? | ||
| What did it say? You mean the dateline where it was published? | ||
| London. London. | ||
| Oh, London. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. | ||
| That is because the city of London is in full panic right now. | ||
| If America sneezes economically, they will contract COVID $10 trillion. | ||
| Buckmoot on another subject. | ||
| Talk about this. | ||
| Hang on. Talk about this. The city of London just weighed and measured DeSantis. | ||
| City of London is Wall Street. | ||
| It's not actually London. | ||
| It's a part of London, the old part. | ||
| It's the Wall Street of Europe and is almost as powerful as Wall Street overall. | ||
| When you see those articles coming out of CNN London and talking to people in the city, how panicked are the central banks and these governments that have spent like crazy in Germany, in France, in Italy, and in the United Kingdom, sir? | ||
| Well, the trick is the thing that I use in my head as an editor every day is like if the dateline is DC, you can just dismiss the article. | ||
| It's clown world. They have no idea what they're talking about. | ||
| It's speculative. It's written by some, you know, 22 year old who's taking, you know, Department of Defense briefings and rolling out as copy. | ||
| If it comes from New York, yes, pay a little bit of attention. | ||
| Those guys know a little bit more about the world, know a little bit more about the financial world, what they're doing. | ||
| If it comes out of London, something like that, they are in full panic. | ||
| The regime is in full panic because that is where every New York financier actually wants to end up. | ||
| It's where their wives want to actually end up. | ||
| And so everything gets centralized into the city of London. | ||
| So that's how I prioritize the news in my mind. | ||
| And by the way, you know, we'll talk about the new National Pulse site coming Monday and all of that. | ||
| But that's one of the things we're going to be offering subscribers as well is my editor's notes on the story to say, hey, listen, here's what the news is, but here's contextualization behind it, right? | ||
| And that's the context to all of this stuff. | ||
| And the Bakhmut stuff needs contextualizing as well. | ||
| They've known for days and days now that this place is going to fall. | ||
| The Russian government's going to call it in a matter of moments, right? | ||
| But the interesting thing is they keep talking about spring offensive, spring offensive, spring offensive. | ||
| There's no spring offensive. | ||
| Let me tell you something. And here's the tell on that one. | ||
| The Biden government, the Biden regime has gone back and said that they are devaluing the weapons that were sent over there in the first place so that they can do some financial jiggery-pokery and give more without giving more. | ||
| That's how you know that they are not ready for a spring offensive. | ||
| Okay, hang on for a second. We're going to have Harnwell join us in a minute from Rome. | ||
| He's got also some analysis on this. | ||
| Let me go to Steve Stern. Steve, we always need a pick-me-up on days like today. | ||
| We're going to get into a whole debt thing in a second in the negotiations on this. | ||
| Talk to me about the precinct strategy. | ||
| People should know Stern and Dan Schultz, Stern is hosting these massive calls and the things happening all over, from Georgia to Nebraska to all over the country. | ||
| Give us a quick hit on precinct strategy. | ||

So the first thing is, you know, today's my 82nd birthday, and thank you very much for having me. | |
| And yesterday, Michael Walsh, one of my good friends, got me a terrific book. | ||
| Look at this book that he got me. | ||
| And I got an autograph by Keith Koppler, the person who wrote it. | ||
| So I'm going to send it up to you to get an autograph because you have done everything for Precinct Strategies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Precinct Strategy. Dan Schultz wrote the book. | |
| We want everybody to go to www.precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what's terrific. | ||
| I was up at Clay Clark's event down in Miami. | ||
| I live in Fort Lauderdale, so it was pretty easy. | ||
| And I had a 45-minute discussion with General Flynn. | ||
| And what came out of that was our country can be saved by Precinct Strategy. | ||
| Can you imagine him saying that with all he does and everywhere he goes? | ||
| And he's a Precinct Strategy man. | ||
| So we have everything going on. | ||
| And, you know, we're having this big event for Flag Day. | ||
| I hope that one day you'll be able to roll out that beautiful video I have for a couple of minutes, unveiling the flag that is the largest flag in the United States, a gentleman named Ski Demski in 2002. | ||
| Was a little upset when he found out that China had the biggest American flag. | ||
| Can you imagine that? So he decided to build one bigger, and he did. | ||
| And he passed away, and he left it over to another gentleman, Commander James Alexander, who then passed away, and he left it to his wife, Patricia Alexander. | ||
| And about three years ago, one of our good friends, John Sensor and Dane Sensor, rolled it out in South Dakota. | ||
| And it had 500 people rolled out. | ||
| So we decided, my son and I, and decided to have a great event for Flag Day coming up June 14, which, by the way, is also President Trump's birthday. | ||
| And if you want to attend, It's free. | ||
| We're hoping it's going to be on the Lindell Network. | ||
| Go to www.getpatriotized.com. | ||
| The new landing page is out. | ||
| We're going to send it out. We have pictures that a lot of the people are going to be on. | ||
| We have Lindell going to be on, Steve Bannon, Tom Homan, John Solomon, Clay Clark, Wayne Root, many, many, many people, General Flynn, all the generals are going to be on. | ||
| And if you want to get involved and you want to get on, I know we only have a little time, but You can get a flag shirt or you can go to Eastern 105040OL or 9543186902. | ||

There's a lot of success going on in our precinct strategy. | |
| That's what's important today. | ||
| We have, like you said, Nebraska. | ||
| We found a lady, Chris Vale. | ||
| She has done a sensational job. | ||
| In New Jersey, our girl had a big deal a couple of weeks ago, a seat at the table. | ||
| I was nice enough to talk there. | ||
| I called 400 people prior to that. | ||
| I found out a lot about New Jersey. | ||
| I was on Spadius' radio show and TV show. | ||
| I called, like I said, 400 people before. | ||
| When I got there, it was unbelievable. | ||
| She started a club called Common Sensible. | ||
| Yeah. These things all over the country. | ||
| And remember, we're not going to leave anybody behind. | ||
| They're propping up in Massachusetts, in New Mexico, New Jersey. | ||
| Just because they're blue states, you know, you got to start somewhere. | ||
| Just because it's a blue state, don't think you can't start. | ||
| Just not red states. It's just not in battleground states. | ||
| Not all the focus and pressure is on those. | ||
| Obviously, they're super high priority. | ||
| Steve, we got to bounce one more time. | ||
| Flag day. You got 60 or 70 people signed up to speak now. | ||
| It's going to go all day. I think 10 in the morning to 6. | ||
| You'll definitely be broadcast on Lindale, and hopefully we'll pick you up on Getter also. | ||
| Where do people go to make sure they know what's going on and get all the information about your Flag Day celebration? | ||

| It's the grit and determination that made this country. | ||
| Rahim, hang on a second. | ||
| I want to go to Ben. I have Ben up. | ||
| Ben, give me your assessment before I go back to Rahim because I want to talk about this reboot of the National Pulse. | ||
| Give me a couple of minutes on Ukraine. | ||
| Zelensky's a G7. He's a more powerful partner than the G7. This is where it's come to, folks. | ||
| Zelensky is an equal over there at the G7. And he got his F16s. | ||
| And he's going to get a lot more. | ||
| And he's got $3 billion. | ||
| He's got a new $3 billion in cash, doesn't he, Ben Harnwell? | ||
| Hey, Steve. Good morning to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And also, Raheem. Great seat back on the wall, everybody. | |
| So, yeah, I mean, here's the situation in Ukraine. | ||
| There are these promised F-16 jets, but they're not due to come online until the autumn. | ||
| And by news, that's really sort of breaking over the last hour or so. | ||
| It's difficult to believe. | ||
| That the war will still be going if the reports on Bakhmut are true. | ||
| Obviously, I was talking to Posso just before coming on air, who points out that in the fog of war, there are obviously going to be lies and And let's not forget that this time last week, the Varvina group was saying it was pulling out. | ||
| It was days away from pulling out from Bakhmut. | ||
| Now they say they've taken it. | ||
| But it's not only the Varvina group this time that's saying that. | ||
| It's also Ukraine themselves. | ||
| Specifically, it's the 46th There's an assault brigade which says that, and I quote directly, today or tomorrow Russian forces will occupy the territory of the city, or rather its ruins, immediately after they will face new lines of defence outside the city and problems on the flanks. | ||
| And that is directly done as an official statement from the Ukrainian army. | ||
| Now, whether that is aimed and pitched like the Wagner's Group statements a week ago to increasing the timeframe to getting these newly promised fighter jets. | ||
| I don't know. We're going to find out the answers about Steve in the coming hours and days to see if these reports are independently verified. | ||
| Rahim, you were in the square. | ||
| We sent you over from Breitbart, London. | ||
| That was in 2014. | ||
| When did you go to Kiev and actually see the color revolution up close? | ||
| Was that 2014? | ||
| Were you there? It was the end of 2013. | ||
| Did you ever think standing in that square with that chaos that less than 10 years later That a president of Ukraine would be the first among equals at a G7 meeting in Tokyo or in Japan, sir? Yes, that is exactly what I thought. | ||
| Literally, that is exactly what I thought. | ||
| That is what I thought, and I thought this place is going to war. | ||
| You could see it. They were tearing the country apart. | ||
| Between the European Union and NATO, they were tearing Ukraine apart. | ||
| Remember, this is a country that has had, for all of its existence, the highest rate of corruption in Europe. | ||
| They were already having to deal with that. | ||
| They polled Ukrainians, and they found out that one in three, I believe it was, had come across themselves in person, financial, political corruption. | ||
| That is to say they were bribing police officers or they had seen somebody do it. | ||
| And all that ever needed was just this tiny little nudge, this tiny little nudge. | ||
| And that was what the Medan revolution was. | ||
| The deep state funded color revolution that overturned that country and caused this war and caused this suffering and caused this pain and caused this loss of life. | ||
| At a grand scale. | ||
| And remember, Steve, I came on here in December, right before the war. | ||
| And I said, listen, this is not going to be a short altercation. | ||
| If you get into this now, you're going to be into it for the next 20, 30 years. | ||
| And guess what they came out and said this week? | ||
| The White House comes out and says, this is a decades long conflict. | ||
| This could be like, you know, the Korean conflict. | ||
| Okay, well, you know, we warned you. | ||
| Yeah, no, the Politico has been all over that with the White House spin. | ||
| But did you think, you were all over this war, did you think they would get the sponsorship? | ||
| It's one thing to have a war, but an EU doesn't have the muscle. | ||
| Did you think they would get... | ||
| You have to have the US sponsorship. | ||
| Did you ever think they would get the US sponsorship in 2013 to actually beat a G7, which is supposed to be the most... | ||
| I mean, that's really the way the world rolls, not the G20. It's more the G7. Or the people argue about that. | ||
| But Zelensky's there, and he is the most powerful person at this conference right now. | ||
| He's getting exactly what he wants. | ||
| He's breaking the will of Joe Biden in front of the world. | ||
| Joe Biden said no F-16s. | ||
| Now it's okay, we'll support F-16s, but you can't use them offensively against the Russians. | ||
| Would that have struck you as unbelievable 10 years ago? | ||
| Not at all. Listen, I don't mean to sound offensive. | ||
| But if they could have done it with Afghanistan, they would have done it with Afghanistan, but it's easier to do it with Ukraine. | ||
| You know, they want this client state. | ||
| You get in a lot of trouble for talking about, you know, bio labs and financial misdemeanors taking place over there. | ||
| If they could have done it with Afghanistan, they would have done it with Afghanistan. | ||
| It was a non-starter. | ||
| The civil society mechanisms just didn't function, didn't work, couldn't do it. | ||
| This is why Joe Biden, the famous clip, and he says, listen, I told him to fire the prosecutor. | ||
| Well, son of a whatever. | ||
| They understood right there and then. | ||
| He understood in that moment in that clip. | ||
| The underlying tone of that clip is we actually can do it here. | ||
| We can run this place. | ||
| And for me, I saw it coming a long way away. | ||
| Rahim, hold on, because I want to get to the reboot. | ||
| I might have to do that after the break. | ||
| I want to go back to Ben. Ben, talk to me about the $3 billion we just magically found as an accounting error, and you've done some analysis to compare and contrast that to other things that would cost $3 billion. | ||
| I certainly have them, Steve. | ||
| Well, so this is... | ||
| I don't know how to take this. | ||
| Here's the headline, I don't know if the guys in Denver can put this up as I'm talking, that 3 billion in an accounting error means that the Pentagon can send more weapons to Ukraine. | ||
| Now, either, there are two ways of interpreting this. | ||
| I mean, I don't know how you lose 3 billion as an accounting error. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| So the ways that you can take this is that either this is how brazenly our sociopathic overlords are lying to US taxpayers because no one's going to believe it, or the alternative is that this is a genuine error and that is how seriously they treat US taxpayers' money. | ||
| I mean, is it an exercise in gaslighting or is it an exercise in incompetence? | ||
| And as ever, as always with our sociopathic overlords, the line now is so blurred between when incompetence ends and bad faith begins. | ||
| It's impossible to say. | ||
| However, there are other things, Steve, that cost three billion. | ||
| And here is the cue to put up for the next headline, is that the ask on behalf of the Trump administration for $3 billion, it's the same figure here, | ||
| to build the wall. Now, no one in the war room audience who's following this today will have any doubt whatsoever That the promise to build a wall as a manifesto, as it were, as a campaign commitment, no president in, I think, in the last hundred years has been elected with so clear a popular mandate to do something than Donald Trump achieved in 2016. | ||
| And yet the Uniparty said, no, the Uniparty wasn't interested. | ||
| It didn't have the money. And now the same figure, it's a rounding error. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| They shut the government down to December 18 over this figure. | ||
| Short break. Rahim, Harnwell next. | ||

| Okay, that CNN article, I want to make sure everybody reads, as Rahim pointed out, Dateline London, and it's about the central banks. | ||
| Remember, we talked this concept, fiscal domination, where these executive parts of governments and the parliaments continue to pass and central banks continue to print money throughout the world, led by the Federal Reserve. | ||
| That day is over. | ||
| It's $2 trillion of quantitative tightening. | ||
| That is going to be a headwind on growth. | ||
| Essentially, what you're looking at is a world that's now going to go into the lost decades that has hit Japan. | ||
| Best case, right? | ||
| Worst case, you'd have explosive inflation, but best case, you're going to have 1.1 % growth. | ||
| And I just saw where in China, a huge article up today I just put up from Business Insider about Generation Z over there is totally stone cold broke. | ||
| They know they're broke and they're not happy about it. | ||
| They're getting millions of hits and hundreds of millions of hits on these young Generation Z types putting up TikTok type things saying, I got no money, I have no future. | ||
| And this is going to impact the same things happening in the West, the under 40 set Are essentially going to be Russian serfs. | ||
| So it's all coming down. That's why this debt ceiling debate negotiations so important. | ||
| And we'll keep you updated on Getter over the weekend. | ||
| And obviously Monday we're going to be all over it. | ||
| But that is why make sure you go to Birchgold.com, too. | ||
| It's time not just to get the end of the dollar empire, particularly the third installment. | ||
| Which is the debt trap. | ||
| You need to get that and get you all the nomenclature. | ||
| But also check out Philip Patrick's team. | ||
| Why are the central banks throughout the world, in particular the BRICS, the Global South, the BRICS that are there kind of hanging out? | ||
| They've been invited to the G7 today because their economies right now are more important than the G7 because they own all the resources. | ||
| And they're buying gold like crazy. | ||
| Record number of central banks in these countries, record number of purchases in gold in 22 and 23 started the same way. | ||
| So it's time for you to at least talk to people and immerse yourself in this information. | ||
| You need to do it today. Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Get everything for free. Rahim, the reimagining and rebooting of National Pulse. | ||
| Talk to us about the reimagining. | ||
| You're setting this up as a totally new type of news and information provider for not just the conservative movement but the Trump right. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. Steve, you know, I got bored of going to all of these conservative leaning media sites every day and seeing this long, arduous, poorly written copy. | ||
| You know, you taught me something really early on, which was never back into a story. | ||
| And I think that is the that is the core part of how we do the news at the National Pulse. | ||
| You get all the news up front in your face and we get you out of there as quickly as humanly possible. | ||
| I'm not trying to leech off you, have you scrolling past 15 ads, anything like that. | ||
| And I'm delighted to say that we have now built this in as core functionality to the National Pulse website. | ||
| The Pulse stream, what we call it, the Pulse itself will be a fully live stream, short, punchy, kind of like Axios meets Breitbart almost, you know, news. | ||
| And then all free, by the way, we're keeping that free. | ||

Kaboom! Okay, Raheem, that's genius. | |
| Okay, I know you guys are scrambling for your launch on Monday. | ||
| I remember Breitbart London, the original Breitbart site. | ||

| Who else? So Steak for Breakfast is the kind of like, it's the MAGA insider podcast, like the long-form conversations that are going on in MAGA world. | ||
| It's fantastic. We identified them a couple of years back. | ||
| They have grown and grown. And Fleckers Talks is out every Friday. | ||

| This is the core base of support that we're building to do the real news, to be radically independent, which is our new strapline. | ||
| And I think you and I are going to have some more Announcements on what's to come in the coming weeks. | ||
| Yeah, no, no, no. You guys now have rebooted this thing or rebooted. | ||
| There'll be other content announcements, too. | ||
| This is needed. Thank you very much, Rahim. | ||
| Look forward to having you on Monday. Have a great working weekend, and we're around if you need us. | ||
| Rahim and the team over at National Pulse, in a reimagination, in a reboot, in a relaunch. | ||
| That'll all take place on Monday. | ||
| We'll do it here live in the War Room. | ||
| Ben, I want to go back. | ||
| Do I have a clip? I think I've got a clip of Ben on the billions, right? | ||
| Do I have that? Remember we talked about this? | ||
| Clip one morning. Here we go. | ||
| Tell me when we're ready. | ||
| You ready? You're not ready? | ||
| Okay, fine. Go ahead and play clip one morning and I want to bring Ben back into the conversation. | ||
| I'm not a fan of what we're doing in Ukraine. | ||
| I'm not a fan of spending over $100 billion, as you just said, Larry, with no accounting. | ||
| Listen, I've tried to get the Senate to vote. | ||
| In fact, I've demanded a vote on legislation that would give us an accounting of every dime of taxpayer dollars spent. | ||
| And remarkably, the Senate votes it down. | ||
| They don't want to know. They don't want to know where the money's going. | ||
| I want to know. | ||
| So I don't want to spend any more money over there, A, until we can figure out where the money's going, but B, until we know what the strategy is, And see, the Europeans, why aren't they the ones who are taking the lead here? | ||
| I just think that this is...I'm opposed to this, Larry. | ||
| I'm opposed to this going on. So I just say to the former president, hey, if he's got a way to bring this conflict to an end, then I think that'd be great. | ||
| I mean, I don't want to see Russia succeed. | ||
| So that's Josh Hawley. | ||
| It's back to this thing about asking Trump and Trump to get in here. | ||
| Ben, give us your perspective now. | ||
| Pasoba came back. We had Pasoba going yesterday. | ||
| He said, hey, And he was in, you know, Poland, Eastern Europe. | ||
| He was there in Budapest with Viktor Orban and the team. | ||
| He said in the capitals of Europe, they're definitely getting tired of this, that he doesn't see their ability to continue to put this type of money into weapons systems, to ammunition. | ||
| And the people are now starting to understand their natural resources are costing more of the gas, the heating, the food, all of it. | ||
| What is your sense? | ||
| And particularly now that we kind of came up And think, folks, this thing on the $3 billion is totally phony. | ||
| And this needs to be investigated immediately. | ||
| I mean, how do you have an accounting error for $3 billion that just magically comes when they know they can't get another penny through the ultra-MAGA, no money for Ukraine right? | ||
| In the middle of a debt negotiation, they can't come back with a tin cup begging for money. | ||
| Particularly when Biden, the feckless old man who's put American prestige in line, say, no, no F-16s, no F-16s, no F-16s. | ||
| We don't expand the offensive capability of the Ukrainians because they really don't need it. | ||
| And then he folds over on a main stage in Asia. | ||
| So, Ben, give us a perspective here of where Europe stands in this mess, because I've got to tell folks, they're spinning right now here in D.C. This thing's going to be like Korea. | ||
| It's going to take 10 or 20 years or longer, and that's going to be a trillion dollars from people in the United States of America. | ||
| Ben Harnwell. Well, speaking of here in Italy, where I'm living in the capital, Rome, I don't think for the last nine months the polls have been saying it's only a statistical minority support, continued financial assistance towards Ukraine. | ||
| There's already been a majority of the country against the position of the government. | ||
| Not that it has particularly affected the government that much. | ||
| one way or the other. | ||
| But they've already lost the people here. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, if that's a report that possibly is feeding back to you, it's absolutely right. | ||
| People are sick and tired of this. | ||
| That said, there is in Europe, continental Europe, as there has been for decades, since the Second World War, an expectation that fundamentally, sooner or later, whether it's public or whether it's hidden behind The United States will pay back the European countries in one way or another, all the money that it's been laying out now. | ||
| And that's why anger here in Europe isn't stronger, because the expectation will be that American taxpayers will pick up the tab. | ||
| It's difficult really therefore to push in argumentation beyond that because that is just here in Italy especially, perhaps I'm biased, but in Italy the expectation is either if it's to do with defense, America will pay, and if it's to do with social security, Germany will pay, and that's how it goes. | ||
| But hang on. This is the mentality after World War I, World War II and the Cold War. | ||
| This is another European conflict. | ||
| This is a European conflict on the eastern side where the Eurasian landmass kind of transitions to Asia. | ||
| This is eight or ten thousand miles away. | ||
| The sovereignty, the territorial integrity, and the self-determination of Ukraine is not a vital national security interest to the American people. | ||
| Our southern border is. | ||
| The situation with the Chinese Communist Party in Taiwan, in the South China Sea, in the Straits of Taiwan, in Taiwan, and those chip factories are. | ||
| But, Ben, they're so conditioned to have Uncle Sugar just right, and there still is the conditioning there. | ||
| They're getting tired of this. | ||
| They're going to start putting demands on, and you're going to start seeing they're going to want to stop a lot of the funding. | ||
| They don't even pay for the government. | ||
| We pay for that right now. | ||
| Billions of dollars each month and make sure that the nurses and the teachers' pensions are paid. | ||
| Do you have a pension? | ||
| And it's coming to a head. | ||
| That's why it's inextricably linked. | ||
| And that's why it's so fascinating today. | ||
| You have the debt ceiling debate of which we walked away again. | ||
| They had another meeting last night late, as we told you on the show. | ||
| And it's not about work requirements for Medicaid. | ||
| It's not about permitting. | ||
| It's not about the side issues. | ||
| We told you it's the central issue. | ||
| They don't want to back off what that $6.8 trillion spending is. | ||
| They don't want to back off it. | ||
| It's the top line. They don't want to hit reset and go back to 2022, which is not even a cut. | ||
| It's just going back. It's just taking off $122 billion. | ||
| But there are no cuts. | ||
| There's no cuts to spending. | ||
| We're stopping the rate of growth. | ||
| They want to do that in all of that. | ||
| Embedded in all this is going to be billions and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars for Ukraine for this war. | ||
| It's not a vital national security interest. | ||
| Ben, how do people, great work on all this and great work finding out and equating the $3 billion they just magically found to the border wall, which they shut down the government over because they wouldn't give Trump $3 billion. | ||
| How do people get you over the weekend, Ben, until you join us back on here on Monday? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. It's Getter, simply my surname, at Harnwell. | ||
| That's my profile there, Harnwell. | ||
| And then, of course, on the newsletter, thewarroom.org newsletter, which folk can register for directly through the site. | ||
| And people should be watching us on Getter all weekend, particularly the situation in Bagmut. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, thank you very much from Rome. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| The race to control life itself. | ||
| We're going to talk about this next. | ||
| Only in the word. We rejoice when there's no more. | ||

| Trump versus DeSantis on taxes. | ||
| In Congress, Ron DeSantis pushed a 23 % national sales tax, where the middle class pays more. | ||
| 90 % of families would get a tax hike if DeSantis replaced the current system. | ||
| President Trump cut taxes a lot, lowering tax rates for everyone. | ||
| Trump cut taxes. | ||
| DeSantis tried to raise them. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, wrong on tax hikes, just not ready. | ||
| Make America Great Again, Inc. | ||
| is responsible for the content of this advertising. | ||
| That still has, you know, we played the cartoon one yesterday, but I said, hey, for this audience, the cartoon may work for low information voters with the sing-songy thing. | ||
| But here, and they said today there's a huge article about Governor DeSantis launching the numbers collapsing. | ||
| And one of the things they say is about, it's not just these ads, it's the content of the ads, and the governor has just chosen not to answer them. | ||
| That's both the Social Security ad and this about backing Ryan's tax hikes. | ||
| And here's the part of it. | ||
| He was a Ryan guy, although a little more conservative when he was in the House, and he backed those policies. | ||
| He needs to come forward and lay out the case. | ||
| This is what I keep saying. It's one thing to be governed, and I think he's doing a very good job, and I support him 100 % on what he's doing with Disney. | ||
| I know there's certain voices in Trump world that are not, but I support what he's doing. | ||
| He's going after these corporations, and he's going after these woke corporations, and he's fighting a good fight there. | ||
| But it's one thing to fight on the wokeness of all this and do it at the state level. | ||
| You can even do it at the federal level. | ||
| But we're in the Third World War. | ||
| We're in the early stages of the Third World War. | ||
| And today is a perfect example of the convergence of what we told you is the money side of that, the capital markets, economic side, and the military side. | ||
| And you're seeing this now on this debt ceiling negotiations. | ||
| And no need to call this weekend because I'm not sure the switchboard's over, but we'll get you up on the ramparts on Monday because your backing has been essential. | ||
| It's been the determinant factor here. | ||
| And, you know, what's happening in the war, which you're being lied to constantly. | ||
| I've got to dig this up. I think it was Daily Beast or one of the left-wing guys came to CPAC, to our party, the party we had where we honored Cary Lake and we honored James O'Keefe, the War Room Party. | ||
| And he asked me, he says, hey, of all the Orwell books, what is the one that's the most important to you? | ||
| And I said, Homage to Catalonia. | ||
| Because he talks about the Spanish Civil War. | ||
| The big thing he talks about the information war and the lies that are being told. | ||
| So right now the whole thing in Ukraine. | ||
| And trust me, the Russians are lying too. | ||
| I don't trust the Wagner guys. | ||
| These are some of the worst guys on earth. | ||
| Anyway, I've got to pivot because I've got something very important to talk about that's going to tie in a lot of this. | ||
| Remember, this was a while ago. | ||
| We had Brandon Weikert on. | ||
| He knows geopolitics as well as anybody, but he had written this amazing book called Winning Space about taking the Chinese and others taking the strategic high ground and how America wasn't focused on that. | ||
| It was a brilliant book because it kind of looked downrange. | ||
| He's now done with Roger Kimball and his team over at Endeavor Books, the Encounter Books, which is the new Criterion's book label, Biohacked, China's Race to Control Life. | ||
| Brandon, a lot of people, and I think the reviewers and people that have you on are going to talk about the bioweapons program, and that's an important part of this and what makes it so timely. | ||
| But your title is The Race to Control Life. | ||
| And this gets into what I keep talking about in the convergence of those five elements that leads to the singularity. | ||
| We've talked a lot about AI here recently because it was released. | ||
| But the second part I keep talking about in these labs is actually CRISPR and the biotechnology. | ||
| That's going to come out and stun you. | ||
| That's what this book is about. | ||
| You've actually cracked the code, no pun intended, to really talk about when the Chinese listed the 10 The ten industries made in China 2025, the top five were all the ones that converged on the singularity. | ||
| CRISPR biotechnology and the control of life was one of that. | ||
| Brandon, your book, tell me, are the Chinese Communist Party right now trying to control actually the keys to life on Earth and they can manipulate it, sir? | ||
| Yes. Oh yes, absolutely. | ||
| And the worst part is, the most damning part, and I know that you've had people on the show covering this side of the story, which is the NIH and American pharmaceutical companies, Western pharmaceutical companies, Western technology investors, they're all helping the Chinese Communist Party to accomplish that mission. | ||
| And so yes, this is the race to control life, literally, and the Chinese Communist Party want to be the ones to crack that code and hold the keys. | ||
| That allows them to do that, to create the perfect communist man. | ||
| Okay, I want everybody to hear this. | ||
| On the war room, on the 20th of May in the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| And I've been saying it, and now I can back it up. | ||
| With research and 50 pages of footnotes and every article and a smart guy, Brandon Weikert and Roger Kimball is as smart a person as we have in this nation. | ||
| It's not simply the bioweapons and the bioweapons labs and that being out of control, which trust me is worse than nuclear weapons. | ||
| It's deeper than that. | ||
| They go back to the railhead. | ||
| They are trying to control the creation of life on this earth. | ||
| Just like they're trying to control artificial intelligence. | ||
| And this is why we had Senator Hawley on here yesterday. | ||
| He did a fantastic job at the hearing. | ||
| But people in this audience, because you're the tip of the spear, and I told you, we're going to be loading other things on your shoulder. | ||
| We're loading another one. | ||
| And that is, once again, I'm going to take a break here, Brandon. | ||
| We're going to bring you back in the next block. | ||
| This is... An arms race every bit as deadly as the artificial intelligence race. | ||
| This is an arms race to control life and the ability to manipulate and manufacture new life. | ||
| The convergence into the singularity is going to hit the human race like a two-by-four when it's too late to do anything about it. | ||
| And here's the Greek tragedy part. | ||
| As Brandert Weikert walks through in this book, detail by detail by detail, It's your pension funds that's doing this and your tax dollars. | ||
| It is NIH, it's other organizations in the government that are underwriting a big part of this. | ||
| It is the pension funds of biotech companies that buy the stock and provide the private equity and provide the liquidity of these companies that are doing this. | ||
| I want you to think about it. |
