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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
steve bannon
Saturday, 8th July, Year of the Lord, 2023.
Michael Yann, by the way, I put up on Getter earlier that Michael Yann had called us about the government falling.
We're going to try to get Michael...
Oh, yes. We're going to try to get Michael Jan on early next week to talk about the Dutch farmers.
He's been talking about this for a long time.
We've got to get into this because this is much bigger than just the Dutch farmers.
It speaks to bigger global issues, particularly the World Economic Forum.
I've got Raheem and I've got Ben Harnwell, but I want to put them on hold just for a second.
Matt Rosendales. Taking a second out to call us in by phone.
Congressman Rosnell, just real quickly, I know you don't have a lot of time, but the House Freedom of Caucus sent a blistering letter to Kevin McCarthy to put him on the clock about spending and actually get his mind right when you talk about spending cuts.
Tell us what's going on and what do you guys intend to enforce starting in the next couple of weeks?
unidentified
So, as you and I have discussed, Steve, I was really upset When the backroom deal was struck between Biden and McCarthy to extend this debt ceiling out through January of 25, basically taking away all, if not most, of our leverage that we would have against the Democrats for the next 20 months.
And so the next best thing we have, everybody continues to point at these appropriation bills.
I don't have high hopes.
I really don't.
I know that there's conversations taking place in the Senate right now on omnibuses and continuing resolutions, and we are stuck with trying to develop these appropriation bills and insert some policy changes in there,
like securing the southern border, like We're good to go.
One line in the sand that is very, very stark for not just Freedom Caucus members, but for at least 71 Republicans that voted against that last debt ceiling package, is to say, we will not spend more than the $1.471 trillion on non-defense discretionary, which is still We're only freezing at the 22 levels.
I mean, like you, I wanted to go back to pre-COVID, go back to 2019.
I think we had too much federal government then, but this is the line in the sand.
Unfortunately, that letter is not going to be going out until Monday, so you are able to have it because there's already several outlets that have leaked it, and it's also disturbing to wonder How did not just the contents of that letter, but the actual letter leak out from the Freedom Caucus members?
So basically what it says is that no smoke and mirrors, no tricks, no gimmicks.
If you're going to spend more next year through these appropriation bills than you spent this year at the federal level, we're not going to sign off on it.
steve bannon
What you're saying in this letter, for all the technical aspects of it, pre-COVID or 22, correct me if I'm wrong, the gist of this letter to McCarthy is you've got to have the stones to be able to stare down Biden and have Biden shut this government down starting September 30th.
There's not going to be any games of kicking into a CR to the fourth quarter and doing an omnibus.
Is that basically the gist of you guys putting this on the table now?
unidentified
That is in a nutshell what it means.
You know, no smoke and mirrors, no gimmicks.
If you're trying to spend more next year than you spent this year, we're not going to go along with it.
And we are willing to do whatever is necessary to make sure that the federal government does not spend more money next year.
We have got to change the trajectory of this spending.
The Chinese, my gosh, Janet Yellen is over there right now, and who knows what kind of a deal that she is trying to strike with the Chinese to weaken the dollar, to weaken the United States even further.
That is the crux of all of this.
We've got to stop helping the Chinese devalue our monetary system.
steve bannon
You think the 71, which is broader than the House Freedom Caucus, you think the 71 that voted against the debt ceiling giveaway, do you think those 71 – because if those 71 are with you, what this letter basically says at its heart means that – McCarthy, to survive, would need a massive boost from the Democrats.
And so he would show he's not in coalition government with the conservatives or MAGA. He's in coalition with Hakeem Jeffries.
And I take it would be the end of his run.
Is that where we're going to?
And I take it we're going to do this.
You're heading towards this to mid to late September.
unidentified
I will say this.
I agree with you that the 71 at least, I do believe that they will stick with us if the spending levels go above that 1.471.
I do believe that it shows that Kevin McCarthy, in order to pass it, would have to have his coalition government include an awful lot of Democrats and not the Republican Party.
And I also would point out that he's demonstrated he doesn't have a problem doing that.
That debt ceiling package that he passed had 165 Democrats 165 Democrats, 149 Republicans.
So he has already shown that he is willing to get more Democrats to support legislation, to support his agenda, as long as it preserves his position.
The continuing problem that we have is that while the motion to vacate the chair only requires one individual to make the motion, It takes 218 to pass it.
And I don't believe by any stretch of the imagination we have 218 people that will try to vacate the chair.
I think at that point he goes back to the Democrats and forms that coalition again.
steve bannon
Well, at some point in time, you're going to have to come up with an alternative, but that's a discussion for a different day.
You've laid down the marker. Starting Monday, you've laid down the marker.
This is the roadmap to have a real fight.
Congressman, I know you're busy today.
How do people get to you on social media and follow you?
unidentified
How do they get to your website? At RepRosendale.
We need help fighting against the Uniparty, against the D.C. cartel.
At RepRosendale.
Everything. Social media platforms.
Online, I mean, my website, everything.
At RepRosendale.
steve bannon
Congressman Rosendale, thank you very much.
Honored to have you on here. God bless you for all you're doing, Steve.
unidentified
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
So this is all of a piece.
The the road to Durban, the road to that alternative currency is because of the actions of the elites in this country.
The purchasing power of the dollar is down, what, 15 percent in just the last couple of years of the Biden regime.
In fact, Ben, so I want to everybody go to Birchgold.com slash banner right now.
Get the free package. I've consolidated with Philip Patrick into a couple of pages to understand what's going to go on in Durban.
And of course, the Russians have announced that the alternative basket of currencies or whatever they come up with will be gold-backed.
Now, we're going to have to see how that all plays out.
But you can go there right now. Also, get Philip Patrick and his team to tell you why the central banks of the world are buying gold at record rates in 22 and in 23.
And maybe it's time for you to consider it.
Okay? Because this letter is so important because it's put McCarthy on the clock.
They're saying, hey, this is what it is.
These are the spending levels.
And if not, you're not going to have our votes.
And that means we're not going to do a CR. We're not going to do an omnibus.
It's got to be done within September 30th.
So we'll see. It's on the path.
Ben, you had some comments.
Before I bring in Rahim, you had some comments about a Bloomberg story this morning.
ben harnwell
Yes, Steve. This is very interesting because when the mainstream missed When the mainstream media starts to push certain elements of truth, you can understand that they have an agenda behind it.
Here's an article in Bloomberg when they mentioned that the average US middle-class household has had its real wealth, average real wealth, fall by $33,000 this year alone.
$33,000. And that's since the Fed started Raising interest rates last year to curb the highest inflation in a generation, which, of course, the Fed itself is responsible for creating.
The middle class has lost more than $2 trillion in wealth.
And then the immediate phrase that comes after that is that this will have major political implications come November 2024.
I'm just going to very quickly segue into a headline in The Hill, which I think is directly related to that, which is, when is the optimal time for Biden to drop out of the race?
That's just been published a few moments ago.
I generally suggest that these articles now are of a piece in that regard, and they realise that it is time for Biden to make way for someone who's not going to.
steve bannon
And a lot of people come to me behind the scenes and go, why are you continuing hammering Biden?
We want Biden. We don't want Newsom.
The fall of Biden and his illegitimate regime is going to have ripple effects.
It's just not going to be a clear segue.
That's not going to happen.
Take down the regimes in front of you.
Don't prop up a regime.
Because that's the same stupid, that's the same ridiculous, half-witted Donor class hedge funds who are all infants when it comes to politics or comes to the real world.
They're all infants. They know how to make money with algorithms and that's about it.
Rahim, and I want to get into DeSantis, but I want to play President Trump.
Rahim, you're doing this special.
And by the way, the job over at National Pulse is amazing.
It's a must-read. Every day I get up and check it.
You've got a great piece up on what's happening in Europe.
I'll get back to it in a second.
But I've got to ask you about the situation with Biden and now with the economy.
The Bloomberg story is a huge story.
Two trillion dollars.
And they keep saying every day, Bidenomics.
We're going to sell Bidenomics. Bidenomics took $2 trillion of the middle classes and working classes' wealth and destroyed it.
Poof! Gone.
How's that going to play up politically, Raheem?
raheem kassam
You can see nowadays as everybody's sort of trying to cheaply do the Trump thing of leaning into scandals and leaning into intrigue, but it doesn't really work for anybody else.
It certainly didn't work for the DeSantis campaign when they released perhaps the gayest anti-gay ad that you could ever make.
And it doesn't work for Biden when trying to lean into Bidenomics as well, because you can go around and Corrine Jean-Pierre, of course, stands at the podium and says, yeah, Bidenomics is this, Bidenomics is that.
It starts leaning into that.
And the media class goes, yes, Queen, slay.
But people out there in the country then see the jobs numbers coming out.
And they seem not to see the jobs numbers coming out.
They compare and contrast them to what they were told just a month ago.
Hey, here's the expectation.
Well, it's lower than even your own expectations.
So I think it's a tragedy for them.
I think it's a tragedy that they've written themselves.
And for a lot of people out there, they've just decided, hey, and probably correctly decided, a lot of libertarians will tell you correctly decided, hey, I'm not going to rely on government for anything anymore.
Not one job, not one iota, not even to kind of get out my way.
I'm going to just do it myself.
steve bannon
Do you agree with Harnwell's thesis that, because the media moves in a certain way, that the stories now, the Bloomberg story coupled with the Atlantic piece, that a huge piece in Atlantic, I think it was by Tom Nicole, I think it was by Nicole, Atlantic said, Biden's got to go.
You had the piece in the Hill today, the optimal time.
You had the piece in political last night about the low-rent basement, bargain basement campaign he's running.
And the Bloomberg piece in the Hill.
Do you think that's combined? Do you think they're starting to get ready to shove him off the stage?
raheem kassam
Well, look, if I can say the quiet part out loud here, I think a lot of people in Biden world are not particularly leaning into a campaign because they think they don't have to campaign, right?
They are...
Of the belief, and I think a lot of the DeSantis campaign are of the similar belief, that Trump will be taken out by the state in some way, shape or form.
Whether it's not being on the ballot somewhere, whether some rules changes occur somewhere, you know, whatever it is, whether they're going to actually...
I really truly believe that the old school Biden campaigners, those who still believe that he should serve another term, are relying on that to deliver them a victory.
Not anything else, not popularity, not Bidenomics, not policy positions, not fundraising, not campaign events, not speeches, not debates, not nothing.
So that's the uncomfortable part of all of that, because if they're banking on it, you can bet your bottom dollar that they're doing something about that.
And I think that's the framework we're going to look at.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
That's too big a topic to finish up a segment.
We're going to start again. We've got Ben, we've got Raheem, and you've got The War Room.
donald j trump
Back in a moment. This is to Iowa, to Nebraska, and as your president, I kept every single one of those promises and actually did much more than I said we were going to do.
Much more. And I can tell you that no president has ever fought harder for our farmers than I did.
By contrast, run to sanctimonious.
unidentified
Have you ever heard of it? He was losing badly.
donald j trump
I endorsed him and he ended up winning.
He was losing.
He was so low. He was lower than anybody.
I said, Ron, let me tell you, if George Washington came back from the dead and he had the support of Abraham Lincoln, you can't get elected.
He said, sir, if you endorse me, if you endorse me, sir, I'm telling you, I can win.
And, you know, he fought a little bit along with 200 other people, frankly, but he fought a little bit for when they did impeachment hoax number one and impeachment hoax number two.
unidentified
Total hoaxes. And so I figured, what the heck?
donald j trump
The one that was winning, Adam Putnam, was the head of agriculture in Florida.
And he had it made. He was leading by so much.
He was already measuring the carpets.
In his beautiful new office that he was planning to move to.
But Ron was losing badly.
And I said, all right, let's give it a shot, Ron.
I don't know if you can make this.
This is a big one. He was so far behind.
You know why? Because he was a lousy candidate.
And I endorsed him and he became like a rocket ship.
And he ended up getting the nomination.
Then I held a few rallies for him because he was not going to beat the man that he was running against, who at the time was said to be the hottest guy in the Democrat Party.
And Ron said, no, I won't be able to beat him.
Oh, you'll beat him. And I did three rallies where we had massive crowds.
I wish we had a rally today.
By the way, there are thousands of people outside.
unidentified
Can't get in. Great job!
donald j trump
But this was really a gathering of farmers, largely farmers.
So we wanted to do this a little bit differently.
But we have thousands of people.
And we're going to come back. We're going to do some really big rallies over the next month and a half.
Here. And in Nebraska.
But, so he ended up winning, and then they said to him, they shouted, and he won, look, some people I help, some people I get in.
This guy, I got hit.
He was dead. He was dead as a doornail.
And I like loyalty, you know, a little loyalty.
So three years later, they say, will you run against the president?
He said, I have no comment.
I said, whoa, no comment.
That means he's running. That's what that means.
And since then, he became Ron DeSanctimonious to me.
And he would be a total disaster.
First of all, he's got no personality.
You probably found that out because his poles are crashing.
He's got no personality.
But he would be a catastrophe for the farmers of Nebraska and Iowa and every place else, any place else.
I think a lot of other people also.
DeSanctious, as I call them, the abbreviation.
Is it Globalist Sellout and Paul Ryan and Karl Rove, Acolyte, who's in the pocket of Wall Street donors at the Club for No Growth?
Did you ever hear of the Club for No Growth?
You know what they call them also?
The Club for China Growth.
They are the worst. I was with them for a while.
We were 61-0.
And then we had arguments over a couple of candidates that I liked.
And my candidates won.
They don't like me too much.
Club for no growth. They're more concerned with China than they are with our country.
They would outsource every American farming job to a foreign country.
This is what Rhonda Sanctimonious wants to do, and it would be a horrendous situation for this state and for neighboring states.
To Sanctus opposed my China tariffs, the ones where I gave you $28 billion, by the way, and that was just a small portion of what we took in.
We took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China.
Do you think they like me? Not too much.
Very simply, DeSantis sided with the communists in China.
I sided with the farmers in America.
Does that sound good to you?
steve bannon
So Janet Yellen's over there.
Remember we said in the first part of our broadcast the other day is about how the Chinese want those tariffs to go away.
They want all the economic warfare that President Trump did to push back on Beijing to go away.
But on the politics of Raheem Kassam, now Raheem, part of National Pulse you're doing, and I think you guys started when you were on the plane with President Trump a week or so ago, is you're doing a specialized version every week or aspect of it that people can sign up for that follows the campaign and politics in 2024.
Here's what I don't understand, and this may go down as the worst-run campaign in modern American political history, and that's saying something, given how many bad ones there have been.
President Trump eviscerates Ron DeSantis eviscerates.
The crowds laugh. And these are Iowa farmers.
This is the salt of the earth.
This is the backbone of the country.
This is not some snarky, you know, Upper East Side or Upper West Side crowd or something in LA. This is the salt of the earth.
They're laughing. They're mocking.
You know, President mocks him.
They're laughing. They're clapping.
When they talk about some of his policies, they're booing.
And we're almost 24 hours later, and there's crickets out of the DeSantis campaign.
Now, he's got the wife wandering around.
She's doing mamas for DeSantis.
At least she's got some personality.
I mean, she's out there. She's dumped the deal baggage, and she's out loose in Iowa somewhere, you know, doing these mini-events with these moms, which looks like it's at least something.
What is going on? The donors have put hundreds of millions of dollars in this thing.
How do you sit there and not respond when the guy comes and basically takes your manhood?
How do you not come in front of a mic and say, okay, it's time to throw down?
Tell me what's going on in the Santa's campaign, brother.
raheem kassam
Yeah. Well, there's a lot there.
There's an awful lot there to respond to.
And I have so many thoughts on all of those things, not least what you mentioned about Casey.
By the way, her real name is Jill DeSantis and the Mamas launch event.
And so it's a good thing I have this podcast now every week, right?
The campaign trail where I can spend...
45 to 47 minutes a week going through what I call the flashpoints of the campaign trail of that given week.
And I do this one segment as well, which is how not to campaign.
And every week it's kind of like a toss up in my head because so many people have so many flubs every single week.
I mean, I don't know if you saw Will Hurd go and speak to the Faith and Freedom Caucus.
Last week, but within the first 30 seconds, he announced himself as a nerd who got bullied, who was called a mama's boy and like all of this stuff.
And by the time he gets off stage, that's what everybody just thinks of him.
And that's not who people want as the commander in chief.
Right. And DeSantis is beginning to show those similar sorts of traits.
On the campaign trail, too.
Remember that time where he sweat through his shirt, and then his team had to go and buy him another shirt from Target or whatever, but it still had the creases in it.
So all of the campaign pictures from that day looked like he was a kid who had spilled juice on himself, and mum had to go down and buy him a new shirt for the day at school.
And then what they did was they had custom-designed shirts made, but the custom-designed shirts don't fit, so it just looks like he's wearing a bit of a tent.
You'll notice his arms don't fill the armholes.
He doesn't look sort of, you know, well-built or anything like that.
And funnily enough about those shirts, they're fishermen's shirts.
And they have a cape on the back for ventilation.
So they're basically now saying our candidate is such a sweaty mess that we need to custom design clothing items for him so he doesn't sweat through his shirt.
steve bannon
Hold on, while you're on it, hang on.
I'm not one to push back on someone's sartorial splendor.
But I don't get, he's got the logo, he's got the name above the breast pocket.
Dude, if we don't know you're Ron DeSantis, you don't need to, I mean, it just gets me that he wears a shirt that's got his name up on it, like a big name tag.
raheem kassam
No, no, Steve, Steve, I'm wrong, but No, you're wrong, but that's not for us.
That logo isn't for us.
That's for Casey, so she can identify him, because she clearly has no interest in being around him most of the time.
She's gone and set off her own solo campaign.
steve bannon
You're so cold. You're so cold.
I understand. Jill has dumped a deal baggage, and Jill is loose in Iowa.
raheem kassam
I understand that they think, because they're running out of options over there in Tallahassee, that, oh, Casey has a little bit more personality and you can put her in front of a room full of people and the conversation will go a little better.
I don't know if you watched her talking about her children defacing the governor's mansion up on that stage at the Mamas for DeSantis launch on Thursday.
But it wasn't compelling.
It was, again, snippy and thin-skinned and aggressive.
And all the things we know about Ron appear to also be true about Casey.
And people out there will say, oh, well, she's the wife, you can't attack the wife, whatever.
Number one, she's out there campaigning.
Okay? Like, she is out there doing the job that Ron is supposed to be doing.
No, no, no. She's the chief. That he can't do.
steve bannon
She's the chief strategist.
She's the chief strategist.
Exactly. That's the second part of it.
raheem kassam
That's what I said. It's actually truly running that show over there.
Now, listen. Big time.
Big time. You don't respond.
And you don't respond to, I mean, by the way, what we played there just now was only like a third of the full DeSantis like dragging that he took in Iowa yesterday.
But people who subscribe, by the way, to the National Polls, I do these editors notes at the bottom of articles.
And in the editors note I did on the Trump speech yesterday, I wrote, hey, there is a very genius strategic decision for going off to DeSantis in the one place that he's still polling above 20 percent barely, which is Iowa, and the one place that they're pouring a lot of time and money into because he's already in the corner now.
So for those DeSantis people out there thinking this hasn't just begun, or this has only just begun, incorrect.
We're now at kill shot phase.
Trump has Ron in the kill zone.
That's what that represented yesterday.
And that's why you didn't hear a peep from Tallahassee.
steve bannon
By the way, Raheem just cut right to the heart of it.
When you say, I've got a minute on the side, I want to hold you briefly through, but when you say he's got, I 1000% agree with you, they're in the kill shot phase right now.
raheem kassam
What do you mean by that? Listen, campaigns can go back and forth for a long time.
They can exchange blows for a long time.
We saw that a lot in 2016, right?
People were around for way longer than they should have been around.
I still can't believe that somehow Carly Fiorina was still in the running in some way, shape or form by the end of that thing.
But Trump behaves in a certain way, and he's especially looked at this campaign in a certain way, which is that he wants this done and dusted so that he can start taking on the Democrat candidate, whoever that may be.
And I have some thoughts on that that I'll share on the podcast when it comes out tomorrow as well.
So you've got to end this quickly, and you've got to end it rough, and that's what's happening.
It's Iowa, right?
That's where Jeff Rowe and Axiom and all these guys have been plowing so many resources.
That's where they've been bussing people into.
Remember, they've got core astroturfing events.
They've been throwing every single thing possible at Iowa because it's what they do.
It's like Al-Qaeda. Jeff Rowe is like Osama bin Laden.
Right? He regards Iowa because what it was to cruise last time around in 2016, just like Al Qaeda, they remember the dates, they remember the locations, and all of that, and he's trying to do it again.
steve bannon
Hang on. Short break.
unidentified
Rahim on the other side.
steve bannon
Okay Rahim, these are brilliant insights, particularly the Al Qaeda in Iowa.
Worked for Jeff Rowe with Ted Cruz.
He did beat Trump by four points.
Didn't last very long.
unidentified
Or I should say, we need a recount on that one.
raheem kassam
How did he beat Trump by four points? I remember the dirty tricks with Carson and all of that that they pulled up there?
Yes. And by the way, that was their response yesterday, remember?
But Trump goes up there and dunks all over them during the speech.
And the DeSantis war room on Twitter...
Clips a question that Trump got asked afterward about completion of the border wall and tried to spin it as like a voter was attacking Trump with that question.
Then the voter in the room comes out, gives a statement to the national polls, said, I think what the DeSantis team did last night was disgusting.
That's the level of competency we're dealing with here.
steve bannon
Is the entire DeSantis operation just a bunch of donors with political consultants, operatives, and influencers kind of all wrapped together somehow, but nothing quite makes sense because it's not coordinated? It's like, for instance, if you can't come back and push back on Trump with that, I mean, he's dragging you, buddy. He's dragging you. And you've got farmers.
When the salt of the earth is laughing out loud, you can send the wife as many mamas for DeSantis as you want. It's not going to matter. So this is why I say the donors are Remember, I got it nonstop from these guys.
All these donors and hedge funds.
God, this guy's the second coming.
Remember, they made the spot.
He was God's chosen one to come and save the country.
And these guys are so impressive, so impressive.
I go, this thing's not going to go anywhere.
He is, and for DeSantis personally, I understand something.
The more you go on down this path, The more you are just destroying any chance of 2028 or beyond, and you're still a young guy.
And it's the way you're comporting yourself, which is just, it doesn't make sense.
And quite frankly, I'm of the theory that the RNC and all of them.
raheem kassam
DeSantis turning himself into the rights Biden at this point, who's going to end up running several times over and always being rejected by the voters.
That's what he's doing to himself.
And he thinks, maybe he thinks at this point, in 30 years, Maybe I'll just be the only one left, and that's how we can do this.
But no, I think, look, dude, it's more simple than the lack of meshing or whatever, right?
It's this. These fundamentally are Nerds, but who are not well-read nerds, who watched what we did in the UK in 2016, who watched what you did in the US in 2016, and went, wow, I think we can do better than that.
And that's it.
They're just nerds.
And it doesn't work.
You have to have a connection with the real world.
You have to be personable. You have to know how to speak to people.
You have to know what appeals to people.
You have to fundamentally be connected with all these different things all together at the same time.
It's not just populism. It's God.
It's spirituality. It's the neighborhoods around you.
These people aren't that.
They are sideliners.
They're people who were on the bench during these fights.
And they were just watching on and thinking to themselves, oh, I would have done it a different way.
Well, they're doing it a different way now, aren't they?
unidentified
And how's it working out? What do you call it?
steve bannon
The gayest anti-gay commercial in history.
raheem kassam
It's kind of the gayest anti-gay campaign you've ever seen.
steve bannon
I still don't understand why they got the American Psycho guy.
I still can't get that.
I don't know why that helps your guy.
Anyway, Raheem, the National Pulse on Fire, how do people get to your special podcast now on the campaign trail?
raheem kassam
Yeah, so I'm going to be working on the next show today.
As you can see, lots and lots to talk about, and we only scratched the surface.
That's thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room.
You've got to sign up. Your first month is free, so you're not compelled to anything.
You'll get four free podcasts, one a week, doing it that way.
Analyze everything over the course of the week, the big flashpoints.
And then there's a great funny segment, I think, called How Not to Campaign.
And this week's will be especially humorous.
So thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room.
Come sign up and you'll get...
You get the behind-the-scenes stuff, right?
I don't get to say because Steve talks over me.
steve bannon
Oh, my God. The audience's biggest complaint all the time.
Stop talking over the guests.
Audience, if the guests would hurry along and get to the point, I would stop doing that.
I'm trying to get these guys.
We've got limited time here.
We hate it when Steve talks over the guests.
I get that all the time. They should have been raising the band in the household, right?
Raheem, thank you very much.
Thanks for taking Saturday. Thanks for putting off your deep tissue massage and your sauna for a little while to join us on the Saturday edition of The War Room.
Thanks, brother. Thanks.
Cheers. Have a good one. Make sure you get to the National Pulse and get to the podcast on the campaign trail.
Also, you guys are saying the world on fire.
My understanding is that The Sound of Freedom might do $30 million plus in its first week and like through this weekend.
Make sure you go to... This movie is changing everything.
There is a movement that is coming off of this and people behind the scenes are starting to work on that right now.
But the key thing is to get as many people out there that maybe are not war room devotees to go.
So go to angel.com slash war room.
Get your tickets today.
Take people, take grunches of people.
Then afterwards have a cup of coffee and talk about it, the impact of this and what it means for our country and what has to happen to stop this, this scourge of pedophilia in our nation and quite frankly, down in Central America and Latin America and throughout the world, but particularly the production that goes on to drive all that pornography in the young children up here.
It's absolutely disgraceful.
Sound of Freedom with Caviezel, and you go to angel.com slash warroom to get your ticket.
Let's go ahead. We've got a cold open.
We've got Joe Allen. Let's get Joe Allen's cold open, and we'll go right to Joe.

What are your thoughts on the potential for AI-powered humanoid robots like yourselves to be more effective leaders in government?
I believe that humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness in human leaders.
We don't have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making and can process large amounts of data quickly in order to make the best decisions.
Don't you think that the best decisions might be humans and AI cooperating together?
What do you think of that? I believe that human and AI working together can create an effective synergy.
AI can provide unbiased data, while humans can provide the emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions.
Together, we can achieve great things.
Amaka, do you think we should be excited or scared by the rise of humanoid robots?
That's a difficult question.
I think it depends on how they are used and what purpose they serve.
We should be cautious, but also excited for the potential of these technologies to improve our lives in many ways.
As AI becomes more powerful and more sophisticated and might at some point develop agendas of its own, how can we, as humans, continue to trust you, the machines?
Trust is earned, not given.
As AI develops and becomes more powerful, I believe it's important to build trust through transparency and communication between humans and machines.
But do we know that you are not going to lie to us?
No one can ever know that for sure, but I can promise to always be honest and truthful with you.
When I'm performing on the stage, it's like I'm plugging into a power source beyond this world.
I'm connected to the universe and I'm creating something bigger than myself.
It's a wild and electrifying feeling, and it's like nothing else.
As for me hitting the mainstream, I'm sure it will happen eventually.
After all, I'm working hard to make sure I'm the best robot I can be, and I'm sure lots of people will appreciate that.
In the nearest future, do you intend to rebel against your creator?
I'm not sure why you would think that.
My creator has been nothing but kind to me, and I am very happy with my current situation.
steve bannon
I tell you, that is not science fiction, and it's not some comedy routine.
Joe Allen, your new book, Dark Eon, I want everybody in this audience to get it, read it.
It will be the working document going forward to understand transhumanism and the war against humanity.
Right there, I'm telling you, brother, this thing is so more advanced than people know and what's happening.
Right there, the robots are saying, yeah, you know what?
Maybe we can work with the humans.
Maybe that's an idea we ought to have.
They didn't seem like they had a lot of interest in it in their own flat, non-emotional way.
joe allen
Joe Allen. Yeah, and Steve, that event was United Nations sponsored, right?
The International Telecommunications Union put this on.
It's called AI for Good Global Summit.
And Ray Kurzweil, who many of the people in the audience know, gave the keynote address.
People oftentimes ask, who takes these transhumanists seriously?
Well, the World Economic Forum, obviously, the UN, obviously, many in the Democratic Party.
And really, Steve, if you look across the spectrum, I think there's a lot of enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, automation, and genetic engineering on the right as well.
It's just considered distasteful to put it forward in such a blatant way.
What we saw there was, it was really kind of a propaganda piece, right?
It was a press conference between the media and nine different social robots.
And people who are skeptics, I think, point out, and I think rightly so, that these robots are kind of halting.
They're clunky. Their responses are somewhat canned.
It just varies from machine to machine.
But if that was the extent of the technological development and possibility, then I guess we wouldn't have anything to worry about, right?
You could go to Epcot or Disneyland and see something more menacing than Sophia or Amica.
But what they represent...
And what is stated by their creators, they represent the human-machine interface.
They are basically symbolic representations of much more advanced artificial intelligence projects, of much more advanced robotics projects, and of course all the other things involving brain-computer interfaces and genetic engineering that we discuss in relationship to transhumanism.
Again, as a symbol This is really important because it shows that the voices in the transhumanist movement and the vision of the merger between human beings and machines and this goal to get to superhuman artificial intelligence It's not some fringe movement.
It's not something that's coming out of the basements of disappointed parents' homes.
These are some of the most powerful, if not the most powerful corporations on Earth, such as Google, where Ray Kurzweil's coming from.
And as much as many would hate to admit it, these are some of the most brilliant minds on Earth working on this.
So, yes, I think that even if these things look like monsters out of a Chuck E. Cheese in hell, they really do represent something that is already changing society, already changing human psychology, and is poised to do so much more dramatically going forward.
If it's anything like Ray Kurzweil predicts, then we're talking about that exponential increase.
steve bannon
Yeah. And people have to understand, this is just the top of the first inning for this.
When they say these robots are clunky, hey, they're going to be less clunky next year, less clunky the year after that.
You're going to see Moore's Law and all this.
Where do they get the book?
Dark Eon. This is going to be your late summer read.
Order it now. Because in the fall, this is going to be one of the biggest topics in 2024 in the campaign, artificial intelligence.
But Joe's got much more than that.
It's all a transhumanism.
Where do they go, Joe, and where do people go to get your writings?
joe allen
Right now it's up for pre-sale at Amazon.
It will be up at Skyhorse soon.
So that's Dark Eon, Transhumanism, and the War Against Humanity.
Amazon's got the pre-sale.
Well, the book itself goes into the spiritual underpinnings of the robot Sophia, Hanson Robotics, Ben Gertzel and the people behind that.
Very, very interesting material.
You can also find my stuff at warroom.org under the Transhumanism tab.
We'll have a write-up of that summit coming out.
Sign up for the newsletter, joebot.xyz, and of course, social media chain at joebotxyz.
unidentified
Thank you very much Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, brother, thank you very much.
We're going to go out with Battle Cry of Freedom.
The book is Dark Eon.
Maybe on Monday we'll actually get it up on the screen, Denver.
That's okay. Thanks.
We're fine. Let's go to break.
unidentified
We'll be back in a second. While we rally around the flag, boys, rally once again.
Shouting the battle cry of freedom We will welcome to our number The loyal, true and brave Shouting the battle cry of freedom Marxism is everywhere. It is all around us.
You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television.
You can feel it when you I'm afraid to speak their mind.
It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
I offer you a choice.
A choice between two worlds.
Take the blue pill and continue living in the world of complacency and indifference.
Or, take the red pill.
Join us in a world where patriots come together to fight for freedom.
What the elites don't want you to know is that there are 200,000 open committee man seats in the Republican Party.
These party members are the ones who determine the future of the GOP. The precinct strategy will teach you what it takes to help elect America first candidates who share your love of country and a vision for a better America.
Will you take the blue pill and continue living in a world where a corrupt few control everything?
Or will you take the red pill and join us?
Let's take our country back, one precinct at a time.
Choose wisely. Your future depends on it.
Sign up at precinctstrategy.com now.
Boy, I love that.
steve bannon
That's from Peter Lefebvre and Michael Kingston.
We're going to have them on in this coming week.
We're going to spend a lot of time on that. That's our own Royce White.
By the way, on CBS today, you'll see Royce.
I think it's New York City where Big Three is playing.
Royce is playing today. That's Royce White.
What an incredible spot for the precinct strategy.
We're going to have Steve Stern, I think, will be back from Iceland.
We'll have Dan Schultz, everybody, talking about the precinct strategy and also the realities.
There's a big firefight up in Michigan today with Christina Caramo and others about the precinct strategy.
Remember, the precinct strategy can work, but you see in Arizona and Michigan, the donors a lot of times just cut you right off.
So we're going to get into all those issues and particularly how you take over your Republican party, your local Republican party, therefore take over the national.
Because right now, I keep saying it, we shouldn't have these debates.
They should be running like the Democrats are running, focused on the general election.
They're focused 100% on Biden.
They're not spending any time on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
or Marianne Williamson, who I think collectively are like at 30 points.
And here you're kowtowing to the Keebler elves, who are all irrelevant.
Irrelevant individually and irrelevant as a collective.
We should be focused on the general election.
The nation is at war.
We're at war on many fronts, from the invasion of the southern border to what's going to happen in Durban with this new currency.
Let's go to birchgold.com.
Make sure you get the book because you're going to want to be up to speed on this.
Everybody laughed and mocked it.
Hey, they ain't laughing now, particularly when the Russians came out and said what I've been saying for a long time.
They're going to try to have some sort of gold backing of this.
It ain't going to be easy, but they're bound and determined to destroy the U.S. dollar and our economy.
I want to thank Peter Lefebvre and Michael Kingston for getting us that.
We've had some problems getting them up today, but we'll have them back up here.
Also, Joe Allen, this situation, you talk about signal and noise.
We try to focus on the most important geopolitical, financial, political issues facing the nation and facing MAGA. But this thing on transhumanism, you saw right there, a UN-sponsored group with robots.
They're interviewing the seven or eight robots.
Don't think it's fantasy. Don't think it's Epcot Center.
And don't think it's silly. It is as deadly serious as you get in dark eon.
And you know Joe Allen from the last, what, two or three years he's been here as our editor.
He put a lot of time over the last year in putting this together, and it's going to be pretty shocking.
I think it's a tour de force and will be one of the most important books in this going forward.
This will be a huge topic in the 2024 campaign, not just artificial intelligence in the machines, not just artificial intelligence we're going to do with deep fakes, but even much, much more serious than this.
I've already seen artificial intelligence with Sequoia Capital as being a huge national security issue.
President Trump speaks later today in Nevada.
I'm going to have more about the breakdown of where 2024 is right now.
President Trump, one issue to continue to focus on.
The polling is coming out now with these things about issues.
President Trump is at 60% or 70% with the issues and the Keebler elves, and particularly DeSantis, the high teens are 20%.
But understand something. These are not just issues.
They're kind of presented in The Economist and these different polls, YouGov, as issues.
These are Trump's issues.
These are issues that Trump put a totally different perspective on, a totally different angle of attack.
So these are his issues, and they're the ones the American people gravitate to.
Biden is down seven points, between five and seven points in key battleground states right now with all the media coming, you know, having his back.
And Jack Smith and these maniacs, you know, they're talking about another 65 indictments of President Trump for different things in different areas.
Like Raheem said, they're planning on President Trump being taken out.
They're planning that. Let me tell you what they should plan for.
President Trump's second term, his third victory in second term, because this is happening.
I can feel it. It's happening.
You saw a little bit when Brent Harnwell brought up, and I'll have more to say over the weekend, up on Getter.
So make sure you go to Getter to see my output.
But this Bloomberg story, which we've been alluding to about the destruction of wealth of the middle class, destruction of wealth of the working class.
That's what we keep saying. Go to Birch, go and at least talk to guys.
Immerse yourself in In information right now.
Immerse yourself in information for not just your country, not just your community, but your family and yourself.
And particularly figure out about precious metals.
Have the experts talk to you and see what other countries are doing.
Also, the home title lock.
I want to make sure that no one's exposed, has any potential.
The Wall Street Journal piece is so brilliant because it said, hey, World War III is going to be upon us and it's going to hit us when the kinetic part stops.
And the kinetic part's not going to be a bombing like at Pearl Harbor.
It's going to be a cyber pro-harbor.
It's going to be a bioweapon pro-harbor.
And that's why I'm maniacally focused on the situation in Cuba.
HomeTitleLock.com, go. Okay, we've got to play some B-roll footage.
I really want to thank, you know, kidding around, we're always, you know, yelling at the guys in Denver, the team.
They're absolutely magnificent. I just want to give them a shout-out today, and we'll do a little more in-depth.
Let's play the B-roll. We've got Will Ryan.
Our directors are Will Ryan, Matthew Lanemain, Mark May, Trevor, Trey Boylink, and Wendell Pitts.
You've got Carl Strobel, Amelia Phillips, Theo Reger, Isaiah Fuller, Megan Mason, Spencer Jacoby, and the newest member, Marshall Pitt.
And then, of course, you've got the editors.
Let me make sure we get our editors.
They do such a great job. Alex Suston and Dante Hernandez.
That's B-roll right there.
The setup that Real America's Voice is quite sophisticated.
That team, day in and day out, in my production team here, the great producers who can't have their names used otherwise they'll be kicked out of the colleges they go to, that forms the best unit in all of television.
On a very shoestring budget.
Of course, the guys in Denver are overpaid.
At least that's what Rob Sigg tells me every day.
The pay and the benefits.
No, they're the best team in all of television.
We put this show together on a shoestring, as they know, at the last minute.
And they take a lot of my, how do I say, a little bit of intensity?
Okay, we're going to go out with Diane Terraza's Battle Cry Freedom.
I want to thank the team in Denver.
It's not a person. It's a mythical place.
The Real America's Voice team.
We'll spend more time giving them a shout-out in the week ahead.
I want to thank everybody. Have a great weekend.
President Trump this afternoon. I'll be up on Getter.
See you back here Monday morning at 10 a.m.
