Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

MAGA Media. | |

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| It's Labor Day Monday, Labor Day Monday, 4 September. | ||
| In the year of our Lord 2023, we want to thank everybody here for our Labor Day special. | ||
| As you know, we take our specials with a lot of pride. | ||
| Every year we give a hat tip. | ||
| to the working men and women of this country. | ||
| They're really the backbone of this country and our audience is made up of those folks. | ||
| And so this is your day to celebrate and we're really glad that you've included war room as you're out and about in this last day before the but the school year kicks off and back to work and everything in the summer breaks over summer, although we didn't get much of a break. | ||
| That's fine because that's the way we like it here. | ||
| Want to give a hat tip. | ||
| We're going to have Mo on, we're going to have Grace on. | ||
| We've got a lot of folks on different aspects of work and getting people prepared for work, what's happening in the next generation, so we're going to talk a lot about it. | ||
| Remember, one of the things... | ||
| That we focus here is to give working people a understanding of global capital markets, the economy, how that sets a framework for a lot that goes on in your life, and how it also frames the situation going on in the nation's capital. | ||
| We are maniacally focused, and we've said this when Congress starts to come back. | ||
| This whole issue of the sweat off your brow, which would be both the tax revenue that the government takes from you to support their functions, what exactly is going on, why are these massive deficits, these massive deficits come back, this government spending. | ||
| More going out than coming in creates these deficits. | ||
| Those deficits have to be financed. | ||
| You really bear the burden of financing that. | ||
| Other media kind of looks like it's just a total freebie that's to your benefit. | ||
| It couldn't be farther from the truth. | ||
| You're actually bearing the burden. | ||
| In addition, your pension money, what the little bit you've put away and been able to put away, or whether it's a 401k or quite frankly, if you're lucky enough, which very few people have today with a corporation that has a pension plan. | ||
| But even if you're, you know, a police officer, first responder, law enforcement, a teacher, nurse. | ||
| How that pension funds are being managed by private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, and how that's being used to your detriment also. | ||
| And so we're going to get into a lot of that today of really you are the backbone of this country. | ||
| And what you have determined is important is what's going to save this nation. | ||
| So we're getting to all of that. | ||
| I really want to thank we're losing. | ||
| We've had a great director here. | ||
| When I say director, we produce The show you see is War Room every day on the studios we have throughout the country, right? | ||
| And you see us anchored oftentimes in Washington, D.C., but we go throughout the country in different either live locations or the studios we have. | ||
| So we produce that part of the show that you see right here, but the kind of the network part of it. | ||
| The channel part of it is produced in a central location in Denver, and Rob Sigg and Parker Sigg put together a terrific team. | ||
| Our director, because you have a director there, helps call in the shots and where the camera's going to go and everything. | ||
| It's quite complicated. | ||
| It's a real craft. | ||
| Amelia is leaving. | ||
| I think Amelia's been with us from the very beginning, so she's leaving to go on to take a well-deserved break. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Get away from this madness for a while and take some rest. | ||
| Then she's going on to bigger and better things. | ||
| But I really think we got some of the B-roll showing. | ||
| You see, it's quite an operation there. | ||
| It kind of looks like a mini MSNBC or CNN. | ||
| A really great team. | ||
| I really want to give a... As we kick off the show, Give a hat tip to the team in Denver. | ||
| You know, it's funny. | ||
| I meet people all the time and say, you know, Steve, I watch your show for years and I thought Denver was a person. | ||
| You kept yelling it, you know, no, no, it's a location, but they take it in. | ||
| They know it's everything here is for the best for what makes the show the best and really thank the team at Real America's Voice. | ||
| You've done such a great job, and particularly the production team that's in Denver. | ||
| Remember, you know, we grind it out. | ||
| We're on six days a week, so they have to have a Saturday squad up, you know, to help us, etc. | ||
| So it's really great. | ||
| Really want to thank Parker and Rob Sagan, all the team out in Denver, and particularly Amelia, who's been our director for the last couple of years. | ||
| Welcome aboard new and fresh talent into the meat grinder to do that. | ||
| Also, we're going to talk about we're going to talk to Mo and Grace a little bit later about initiatives we got we have going on, how the audience can get more involved, because this entire show is about you. | ||
| It's about creating a community and and really having force multipliers that can help us save a republic. | ||
| Since tomorrow is the traditional back to school, and school is supposed to be a place where young people are educated, young people have access to the wisdom and learning of the Judeo-Christian West, and part of that is having access to learning about skills they can develop over time, but particularly the basic skills of | ||
| of mathematics and reasoning and critical thinking and rhetoric and grammar and those basic building blocks you need just to be able to be a thinking adult that you can learn how to learn, right? | ||
| You get such a great grounding in the basics that you learn how to learn. | ||
| And part of that, a big part of that is reading. | ||
| And one of the things I've noticed, because people know here in the War Room that I'm a real bookworm in that regard, and I keep telling people, you know, my reading and how much I've read over the years has become really a strategic advantage because a lot of people just don't read that much anymore. | ||
| It's critical to the young people, too, because it gives you access to so many different worlds and so many different environments and so many different parts of history. | ||
| I was blessed with parents who were big readers, particularly my mother was a voracious reader of books. | ||
| My dad was a voracious reader of newspapers and books, too, but my mom was really a very voracious book reader. | ||
| Breeding's always been very important to us. | ||
| And that's why we were very glad to come upon Dr. Trent Talbot and the team over at Brave Books. | ||
| And we kind of initially got to them because some of the people we knew, the Pasobics and the John Solomons guys that we know were incredibly busy and in the fight every day, they were coming to me and they were writing books for this young children's. | ||
| And I've always been a big proponent of, hey, you know, children's books are a very special category and very tough, but Children's books are used as kind of the formation process, formation of character, formation of, you know, your ability to understand, to teach yourself and also to learn about the world. | ||
| And then they came up and we met Kirk Cameron and others, and they had this idea of taking over the libraries. | ||
| And I said, God, I love these guys are aggressive. | ||
| They didn't want to be kicked out. | ||
| of uh... are are christian people or people who just believed who are secular but believed in the american a civic society to kind of be kicked out of the libraries you get these radical the american library association counties marxist librarians who would have drag queen story hour and all this grooming literature but you couldn't get kirk cameron's books of books to talk about the american republic or the american experience and so i said wow these guys and what you know it's you know ten thousand of you showed up on on saturday five august | ||
| of in 2023, just a month ago, and really took over, I think, 300 libraries. | ||
| And when I say took over, it just basically had story hour of literature that would be considered commonplace, you know, 20 or 30 years ago, particularly in the foundation, you know, the first century, half of this of this republic. | ||
| But Trent's thought this through, and he's identified one of the biggest issues here. | ||
| It's not simply the libraries, but it's also the schools. | ||
| So I want to bring in Dr. Trent Talbot. | ||
| So Trent, last week we had you on the show, and we were able to kind of tease The PDF, but I want to kind of pull back the camera and I want to take it from the top. | ||
| You guys have done the individuals of the Pesobics and the John Solomons, all these great people doing these books that are in the fight. | ||
| And that was one. | ||
| The second was to take over the libraries and make a statement that you're not going to be driven out by the drag queen story hour. | ||
| Now it is, hey, Fundamental. | ||
| And that's why it's so beautiful on Labor Day because school, you know, I know a lot of it starts in August, but the traditional start of school is the Tuesday after Labor Day. | ||
| So that's why I wanted you all to kind of start the show here and walk us through. | ||
| So it's so important in, you know, in training people for a job and a craft and prepare them for future life, schools, everything. | ||
| You think you've identified now, you're saying, hey, it's not the school. | ||
| School boards are in terrible shape, and the Moms for Liberty and the Parents' Rights movements are fighting at that level, and people are seeing it on video how they're getting in their face. | ||
| But you're saying there's something deeper, darker going on here, and part of that is profit-driven, and it's to the detriment of our children. | ||
| So I'm going to turn it over to you. | ||
| Walk me through Brave Books, And you're kind of anti-scholastic. | ||
| Scholastic not being a term of medieval theology around Thomas Aquinas. | ||
| Scholastic being actually the largest book publisher in the children's space. | ||
| Take it away, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, thanks, Steve. | |
| Yeah, we've identified the real culprit who's responsible for all these books. | ||
| We've been seeing these videos, these clips of, you know, parents, kids talking about getting basically pornographic Books that glamorize transitioning from one sex to the other, having surgery, all these things that are just mind-blowing to us. | ||
| And what's been sort of the common understanding or belief is that these school boards, they're evil, these principals, librarians, and there is some of that. | ||
| But I think what makes more sense is that a lot of these school boards, librarians, they're overworked, they're maybe a little naive and trusting, and there's been a wolf in sheep's clothing scholastic that is That is really responsible for getting these books in libraries and the librarians, you know, like you can't read 500 books. | ||
| These librarians can't vet everything. | ||
| So they sort of just trust that, hey, they're not going to put anything too bad. | ||
| Um, Scholastic's been captured, weaponized against our kids. | ||
| And so, what we're doing at Brave, we've gone through, we've been researching Scholastic like crazy. | ||
| We have examples that will blow your mind. | ||
| We put together this PDF that, in my opinion, is going to bring down Scholastic. | ||
| Because it just leaves no doubt in the reader's mind that it's intentional, there's an agenda, The CEOs explain, like, what they're up to. | ||
| Like, if they say what they're doing, take their word for it. | ||
| They have an agenda, and that's to sexualize our kids, and it's to make them trans and just confuse them, you know, and divide them among race. | ||
| And so, I've got, we put together this PDF that we're encouraging the entire War Room Army, send to your local school boards, librarians, principals, send to your friends, have them do the same thing. | ||
| And let's identify where these leaders of our school, where they stand. | ||
| If they read this PDF, it will leave no doubt in their mind. | ||
| And if they change, if they cancel Scholast to get them out of there, well then good. | ||
| They were just a little naive and trusting. | ||
| If not, then we know where they're standing. | ||
| We got to get them out. | ||
| So it's a great tool that we put together. | ||
| So what I'd like to do, Steve, is, you know, I'd like to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole from hell. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want to, I want to, I want to, I tell you what, I tell you what, what I want to do, I want to drill down on this because I want you to present your theory of the case. | ||
| It's Labor Day and tomorrow's the traditional start of school. | ||
| Nothing could be more important. | ||
| In our celebration of Labor Day, part of it is the celebration of those that come behind us. | ||
| Children and grandchildren, right? | ||
| That we bequeath this republic to. | ||
| That's one of the basic theories here in the War Room. | ||
| And I'm telling you, the assault on the family, and particularly the targeting of the children to turn against the family, against their parents, this is directly from the playbook of the Bolsheviks, and directly from the playbook of the Nazis, and directly from the playbook of Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution. | ||
| So we're going to return, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| Today, throughout the day, we're going to celebrate music of working men and women. | ||
| We've got our first is a poll from one of our staff and my favorite albums, Working Man's Dead. | ||
| This is Cumberland Blues by the Grateful Dead. | ||
| We'll take a short break, back with Dr. Trent Talbot in a moment. | ||

| Okay, Brave Books, Dr. Trent Talbot. I want to walk through the PDF. | ||
| I want you to make your case. | ||
| You're saying that as soon as people go through this, and it's available to everybody, we've got it up right now in all the different chat rooms, up on our website. | ||
| You can get it and look at it as Dr. Talbot goes through this, but make the case. | ||
| Particularly, Dr. Talbot, I think here's what's kind of shocking people. | ||
| People remember Scholastic as Dick and Jane and, you know, the Red Dog and, you know, it's kind of a beloved brand. | ||
| You're actually saying, well, it might have been a beloved brand, but it's under different hands now. | ||
| And it's not, this is nefarious. | ||
| So you're going to have this audience a little bit of shock. | ||
| So walk me through what you got. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, cool. | |
| So The PDF has so, so much evidence. | ||
| I'm just going to give you a little taste here. | ||
| I've got two books. | ||
| These are published by Scholastic, Melissa and Rick. | ||
| These are for grades three to seven, basically eight to 12 year olds, and they're award winning. | ||
| They're in like so many reading programs, curriculums that Scholastic puts together in just about every school's library. | ||
| So let's go through real quick. | ||
| You'll find this interesting. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, Page 44 of Melissa. | ||
| Melissa's about a boy who transitions to a girl. | ||
| She immersed her body in the warm water and tried to not think about what was between her legs, but there it was, bobbing in front of her. | ||
| It's her penis. | ||
| Hold it, this isn't a, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| We're family. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| This book is available, this book's in school libraries and available to, or it's in school programs and available to kids how young? | ||
|
unidentified
|
For eight-year-olds. | |
| Eight-year-olds. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| And I'm just getting started. | ||
| This is available for eight-year-olds. | ||
| Okay, keep going. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So, this is a conversation between Melissa and a friend. | ||
| So, you're like transgender or something? | ||
| She whispered as best she could in her excitement. | ||
| I was reading on the internet, and there are lots of people like you. | ||
| Did you know you can take hormones so that your body, you know, doesn't go all man-like? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| I've been reading websites about transitioning since Scott had taught her how to clear the web browser history on mom's computer. | ||
| So it's getting ideas like that in kids' heads that, one, it sounds fun and normal. | ||
| They're showing the children how you can actually get into your parents' computer, look at this stuff, and then wipe it out so your parents can't see what you've been looking at? | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| You're saying Scholastic makes this available to schools to put into their programs, so this is actually read in the classroom, or the kids get access to this in the classroom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and they're on reading lists, they're on curriculums, but these are award-winning books that are widespread in libraries, schools across the country, and you know, at these school board meetings, people are blaming the school boards, but there's like You know, there's a lot of books in libraries, and yeah, they should be more diligent, but they're sort of just trusting Scholastic. | |
| It's from Scholastic. | ||
| Everybody loves Scholastic. | ||
| And Scholastic's just, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. | ||
| But hang on, make your case. | ||
| Let's assume you've got other titles that are going to blow our audience's setup. | ||
| I got that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Why do you say Scholastic? | ||
| Why is it programmatically? | ||
| Scholastic trying to do this instead of just, doesn't Scholastic just have, you go on their website, they have a vast array of, of books and the teachers or the librarians at that public school or the teachers of that school request that books, or you're saying they actually have a program that, uh, in the dark of night slips it in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| They've got like recommended books, you know, and they, they know no librarians gonna, gonna vet 500 to a thousand books to put in their libraries or, Or pick out the books that are going to the book fair. | ||
| So they just sort of go with the default option. | ||
| And look at this book. | ||
| It's Melissa, Rick. | ||
| You wouldn't necessarily think... | ||
| that you're going to be learning about bottom surgery. | ||
| Like when you say when you say and when you hang on when you say when you say default position, is there a way that scholastic gets these in there without the appropriate approval? I realize they have 500 books, you're getting books all the time. But people are sensitive enough now to know that particularly books like this are going to be very controversial and going to be singled out. | ||
| Do they have do they have a program that slips it in without without appropriate review? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, it really is just, they overwhelm them with options. | |
| They know that the schools need a ton of books for curriculums, for, you know, just to be in the library, or the book fairs. | ||
| I mean, the book fairs, you're talking about 500,000 books, and You know, it probably just comes down to people are overworked, they're a little lazy, they just sort of check, yeah, we'll take your normal list of books. | ||
| That's really what's happening. | ||
| There are definitely some schools, school systems and some school boards that promote it and they want to virtue signal for sure and sacrifice kids at the altar of wokeism. | ||
| Is the management, you have quotes from management, is the management scholastic? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woke. | |
| Is it not the company that we knew and loved back 40 and 50 years ago? | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| So, um, yeah, I've got another, this Rick book will blow your mind. | ||
| Well, um, would you mind if I read a little bit from this book, Steve? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| But I assume it's going to blow my mind, but go ahead. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So this is about a boy who's just curious about his sexuality. | ||
| In the setting, it's the first day of this LGBTQ meetup support group. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Upon further review, I know it's going to blow my mind. | ||
| Let's assume it's offensive. | ||
| Let's assume it's the kind of thing you don't want kids into. | ||
| I don't think that's the issue. | ||
| We know that they're going to put these types of books in there. | ||
| The issue is, how do we make sure that it's not programmatic? | ||
| How do you make sure that they just can't slip it in or that someone has to make a conscious decision? | ||
| Because once they have to make a conscious decision, you can identify, was it the school board? | ||
| Was it the librarian? | ||
| Was it the teachers? | ||
| And you can single them out and say, why did you make that decision? | ||
| There's no doubt what you're about to read is pornography, right? | ||
| And that's what they're putting into the schools. | ||
| And they're doing that to destroy the nuclear family. | ||
| They're doing it to undermine the principles of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| This is what the Marxists did. | ||
| And they have a very thought-through Marxist program. | ||
| And obviously, it's very focused on this confusion about sexuality. | ||
| So given that, we got the fact that there's a lot of pornographic offensive books. | ||
| How do we systematically stop that? | ||
| What is the Brave Books? | ||
| You've got people worked up. | ||
| What is the Brave Books solution to stop this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, let me just put a nail in the coffin on the question of, is Scholastic, as an organization, are they aware and behind this movement? | |
| So, the author of these two books is a guy named Alex Gino. | ||
| I'm going to show you his face right here. | ||
| So, this is the guy. | ||
| Okay, this is who Scholastic It wants, you know, to basically affect your kids and hang out with your kids through his books. | ||
| He, he, uh, he, you know, he's, he's a they them. | ||
| Um, he, he wants to defund cops. | ||
| He, he's got a tweet that says queer kids and queer phobic homes, especially need access to queer books away from home. | ||
| He gets his inspiration when he business books and goes talks to kids. | ||
| I mean, it is. | ||
| Whoa, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down. | ||
| Give me that tweet again. | ||
| He says, what now about the home? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're kids in queer phobic homes, especially need access to queer books away from home. | |
| So this is, this is a guy who writes books for eight year olds, for eight year olds. | ||
| And he's, he wants to, to separate the kids from the parents. | ||
| That's really what's going on. | ||
| And, and, and so it, There is controversy on this guy. | ||
| And I know what your audience is thinking. | ||
| I would be thinking the same thing. | ||
| Scholastic is a billion-dollar company. | ||
| There's no way they endorse this. | ||
| It's just slipped through the cracks because they have so many books. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I've got a quote here from former CEO Dick Robbins. | ||
| He died in 2021. | ||
| And I'm reading it. | ||
| We believe Scholastic can make the greatest impact by continuing to promote the work of LGBTQIA plus creators in our publishing, including the support amplification of transgender non-binary voices. | ||
| This year, eight of the 10 most challenged books on the ALA's most challenged book list were because of LGBTQIA plus content. | ||
| And we are proud that two of them were published by Scholastic. | ||
| Raina Telgemeier's Drama and Alex Gino's George, the number one most challenged book of last year. | ||
| They're proud. | ||
| It continues. | ||
| We, Scholastic, will work to find and promote them, the LGBTQIA voices, and provide every child with books where he, she, or they can see the joy and importance of all identities on the LGBTQIA plus spectrum. | ||
| Every child. | ||
| They're talking about your child, your grandchild, your nieces, your nephews, your friends' kids. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what they're about. | |
| Okay, so we've identified, you've identified, you've identified Scholastic. | ||
| I tell you what, let's take a break. | ||
| I'm gonna hold you through. | ||
| We've got a lot more to get through. | ||
| We're gonna continue with Cumberland Blues from the Grateful Dead. | ||
| Short commercial break, short music interlude. | ||
| Dr. Trent Talbot of Scholastic Brookstone joins us on the other side. | ||

| War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| So, Dr. Talbot, you made the case that Scholastic has this agenda, they're gonna push it, and they're a multi-billion dollar company. | ||
| Brave Books is not a multi-billion dollar company. | ||
| So tell me, we got the PDF, we've got it out there, which is, I've only got a couple minutes, just walk me through the program of how David is going to beat Goliath. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so we put together just a Damning. | |
| A damning PDF on Scholastic. | ||
| We're calling on the War Room Army, people across the country, patrons across the country, to go to bravebooks.com, download this PDF, send it to school board members, principals, librarians, and give them a chance to boycott Scholastic. | ||
| Get them out. | ||
| And, you know, but at Brave Books, like, we don't just want to cancel, like, because then, I mean, Scholastic has a monopoly on Children's book distribution. | ||
| There won't be any books in school. | ||
| So we have to provide alternatives. | ||
| And we've put together in this PDF a list of resources for parents to replace all the different things that Scholastic does. | ||
| So there's book fairs, right? | ||
| That's what Scholastic is known for. | ||
| Brave is coming out with our own book fairs. | ||
| And it's going to be, they're going to be sick. | ||
| It's going to be, obviously, Just wholesome books that we've vetted. | ||
| We're going to be very transparent. | ||
| We're going to allow, allow the community to be involved. | ||
| Just make sure that no harmful books get slipped through the cracks. | ||
| But we're also going to take, take book fairs to a new level, have them be super immersive. | ||
| But then SCOSIC also does things like reading, reading programs, curriculums, and, and we're, we're promoting other like-minded businesses that provide those, those things so that So that, you know, schools don't just get, you know, that they're not stuck. | ||
| You're going to give, you're going to give not just Scholastics the problem. | ||
| You're providing an alternative that, and so then people, whether it's Moms for Liberty or the people taking the seats on the school board, have an alternative that, hey, we don't have to have, Scholastic doesn't have to have a monopoly here. | ||
| We can have other publishers come in. | ||
| Brave Books having a well-thought-to alternative. | ||
| That's essentially what you're pitching? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Right now, they really don't have an alternative. | ||
| And kids love book fairs. | ||
| I mean, it's a huge hit. | ||
| And so, yeah, we're coming up with an alternative. | ||
| It's going to be better than Scholastic's book fairs. | ||
| Obviously, better books. | ||
| And yeah, we're super excited about it. | ||
| Um, and we're, we're, we're happy that schools, whether it's private co-ops, that they finally have an alternative. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Where do people go to get information? | ||
| When all the parents and not just the grandparents, because this is another concept of stop giving money to people that hate you and clearly the family is a, you know, we've got to protect the family. | ||
| But this is the economics we talk about. | ||
| All the programs we talk about, populist economics, is built around the family and keeping the family intact. | ||
| So where do people go to find out information about this, Dr. Talbot? | ||

Bravebooks.com, you can download the PDF there. | |
| If you're a school board member, a librarian principal, you can request a Bravebook fair at Bravebooks.com. | ||
| But really, the other thing that your listeners can do is just support Bravebooks. | ||
| Because we're taking on a big fight here. | ||
| And we are a small company. | ||
| And so just buying books, subscribing to our Book of the Month Club, that's a great way to just juice and get. | ||
| And give some support to what we're doing because we will have your back. | ||
| We're taking on Goliath and we're not going to stop. | ||
| So we do need that support that really just energizes all this. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| I know that we love what you guys are doing. | ||
| You've done the books of all the, some of the top fighters in this movement. | ||
| The library situation was just incredible and the world responded to that. | ||
| And I think Scholastic is a cancer and that cancer has to, we cannot allow it to metastasize. | ||
| So thank you for standing up here and doing it. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| This issue, Of, you know, not just your taxes, but your pension funds and where that money goes, your hard work, all the things you've saved up for. | ||
| Shouldn't it be doing good for your community? | ||
| Shouldn't it be doing good for the American economy? | ||
| Shouldn't it be particularly focused on doing things that obviously have returns to it, but that are force multipliers as force productivity? | ||
| Or is that money going to support like our enemies, the Chinese Communist Party, and particularly the Chinese military? | ||
| When you look at that, you got to think back of 2019 and everything that President Trump and the economic plan. | ||
| And if you look at the summer and fall and holiday season of 2019, the American economy was sitting on all cylinders. | ||
| We had virtually zero inflation. | ||
| You had for the first time in 2019, I think in 60 or 70 years, the first time you had the types of gains for blue-collar workers versus white-collar workers, high school graduates versus college graduates, and even non-high school graduates, you know, people having 9 and 10 percent nominal pay increases with no inflation, so it was a real pay increase. | ||
| Inflation low, credit card debt low, everything kind of clicking. | ||
| And then the pandemic hit. | ||
| And of course, you know, people can argue about decisions and things that happen. | ||
| It's all happening again. | ||
| We've, I think, gone out of our way to document how they're talking about another strain of COVID and they've got the vaccines mysteriously, you know, the new boosters mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, right? | ||
| They're going to be delivered on September 15th. | ||
| One of the things that companies went through then, these are policies that President Trump put in place, was about, because remember, we started the war and pandemic about this, the crash in aggregate demand, and that crash in aggregate demand was going to leave kind of this gap that had to be bridged, and President Trump bridged that. | ||
| Well, for companies that stuck in and stuck there and kept their payroll, and used COVID at the time to cover relief money to do their payroll. | ||
| Now, on the other side of this, with legislation that President Trump had, there's a way to actually benefit again one last time. | ||
| It doesn't matter if you're a not-for-profit, it doesn't matter if you're a church group, it doesn't matter if you're a business, as long as you had W-2 employees. | ||
| So before this gets changed or runs out, we've had a heck of a run here at the War Room. | ||
| And I want to bring on Jason Brown, the CEO. | ||
| We're basically over 1,400 War Room entities. | ||
| People have contacted using the War Room code for what, over $140 million, closing $150 million. | ||
| Just walk through. | ||
| And I want to make sure people know that this is not something that you can kind of fudge. | ||
| This is federal legislation. | ||
| It's quite complicated to understand it. | ||
| You've got to have W-2. | ||
| Couldn't be a bunch of consultants. | ||
| You actually have employees. | ||
| You had to keep them through the pandemic. | ||
| But there is a way to benefit, I think, the 26,000 for every worker, right, that you kept. | ||
| And so, Jason, I want to make sure people get access to this, particularly on Labor Day. | ||
| Because this could be a tremendous benefit, and I think a lot of people think, well, if I'm an NGO or I'm from a church, a religious organization, maybe that doesn't, that I'm disqualified. | ||
| But that's not the case, and I want everybody to take advantage of this, and particularly talk to Jason's team, because a lot's changed from when President Trump first put this legislation through. | ||
| Jason, I'll let you take it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Steve, thanks. | |
| And I, you know, I like the way you put it, because there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding this credit. | ||
| One of the reasons I love this credit is because it's going to business owners. | ||
| President Trump set this up so those people providing jobs during the upcoming pandemic that were affected by mandates and challenges but still retained their W-2 employees can get this credit. | ||
| And like you said, it's up to $26,000. | ||
| Per employee, per W-2 employee. | ||
| So, we have companies with 2, 3, 4 employees that are getting $70,000 to $100,000 and, you know, 10 to 15 employees getting $200,000, $300,000, $400,000. | ||
| $400,000 and you know, 10 to 15 employees getting two, three, $400,000. | ||
| This is unlike the PPP loan that was a forgivable loan or you had to pay it back. | ||
| This is not a loan. | ||
| It comes in the form of a check from the U.S. | ||
| Treasury and you can put it in your business, take distribution. | ||
| Um, there's no stipulations on what you can and can't do with this money. | ||
| So Steve, the easiest thing is if you were a business owner, now again, not 1099. | ||
| If you're a sole proprietor, if you, if you pay your, your people as independent contractors, that does not qualify. | ||
| But if you had W2 employees, Go to covidtaxrelief.org, covidtaxrelief.org. | ||
| There's an 800 number there. | ||
| Give us a call. | ||
| We will walk you through about a 10 minute questionnaire that directly parallels the qualification guidelines that the IRS has laid out for this program. | ||
| And we'll be able to tell you within 10 minutes, number one, if you qualify, and number two, roughly how much you would qualify for. | ||
| So we've just really simplified the process, like you said, The water's pretty muddy if you try and do it on your own. | ||
| Give us a call. | ||
| Even in partnership with you, being able to help a few thousand of your business owner clients receive almost $150 million is pretty amazing. | ||
| Even with PPE, given the time to go back and look at it, it took courage. | ||
| For people to keep their W-2 employees, given what happened to the economy, what happened to the drop in aggregate demand. | ||
| If you kept employees, and that's why on Labor Day this is so important to remember, if you kept your employees, You should at least do whatever you can to check out and see if you're eligible for this. | ||
| And remember, it's W-2. | ||
| If it's 1099, if they're independent contractors, it didn't qualify. | ||
| But if it's W-2, and this is the point also, if you're a not-for-profit, and we have a lot of folks out there we know that run these not-for-profits or work for these not-for-profits and church groups and churches, you can still qualify. | ||
| It's all about the W-2, but you need to talk to Jason Brown, the guys over at COVID Tax Relief, to find out the details because it's It gets a little complicated, and that's what they're set up to do. | ||
| Jason, where do people go? | ||
| What's the 800 number? | ||
| Where do they go on the website to check this out on this Labor Day weekend? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| The website is covidtaxrelief.org. | ||
| Again, covidtaxrelief.org. | ||
| The 800 number's right there, but I'll go ahead and give it to you. | ||
| It's 800-708-0465. | ||
| And Steve, to piggyback on what you were saying, how complex this thing is, even in the beginning, But to make it even more complex is it's gone through multiple changes. | ||
| So what I would tell you, your listeners, is even if you looked at this a year ago, two years ago, six months ago, and maybe you thought or somebody told you you didn't qualify, the program has been changed multiple times. | ||
| Go to covidtaxrelief.org, speak to one of our representatives. | ||
| We'll let you know. | ||
| It's pretty painless. | ||
| And again, we'll let you know within a few minutes whether you would qualify and how much you qualify for. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||

Appreciate it. | |
| Happy Labor Day, everyone. | ||
| Thanks, man. | ||
| This show's built around Giving working-class people and middle-class people access to information, and particularly access to so they understand that this is a spiritual war at the end of the day. | ||
| There's, you know, and two sides are in conflict here. | ||
| One side's going to win, one side's going to lose. | ||
| That's our theory of the case. | ||
| There's not really going to be a compromise. | ||
| They're not interested in compromising. | ||
| We're certainly not going to compromise. | ||
| But that that gets down, it manifests itself In this realm, in sometimes the nitty gritty of capital markets, economics and just power politics. | ||
| And that's where we try to give you access to try to give you access to the understanding of how the legislative process works. | ||
| And I think you've seen that. | ||
| It's one of the reasons we keep talking about these massive deficits, what these massive deficits mean, the financing of what they mean, how they hurt working class people. | ||
| How they are a drag on the economy. | ||
| How we can't sort things out until we take care of first priorities. | ||
| First priorities is we have to get control of government spending. | ||
| Government spending for you is not a benefit. | ||
| This massive overspending quite frankly is what is enslaving you. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| And that's why we've been so adamant about this has to be, uh, this has to be shut down. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to be back. | ||
| It's our Labor Day special. | ||
| We're talking about the working men and women in this country and what they can do to set things right. | ||
| All Next in the War Room. | ||

I've been shipping them rocks from dawn to doom. | |
| While I'm away I hide my bottle in another room. | ||
| Dr. Seymour! | ||
| I ain't better stop ballin' that jack if I live five years, I'm gonna bust my back, yes I will. | ||

| War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Remember, as an average American, 90% of your net worth, think about it, 90% of your net worth, by the way, do the math and contradict me, maybe it's 80%, but a bulk of your net worth is tied up in your home. | ||
| Under no circumstances can you allow anything to happen in that home. | ||
| That's why you have title insurance for the title. | ||
| That's why you have home insurance, house insurance. | ||
| You know, something happens in your home or it burns down, you get that insurance. | ||
| One piece of insurance people think they have that they don't. | ||
| Title insurance doesn't include if somebody comes in and actually on a cybercrime takes your title and takes out a second mortgage on it. | ||
| That's a tough break for you. | ||
| That's why you gotta go to Home Title Act today and immerse yourself in the information related to that. | ||
| Find out everything you need to do because we can't have the working audience of the war room tied up in any kind of litigation to fight a second mortgage on the home. | ||
| You would be financially crippled. | ||
| I want to bring in Joe Reek. | ||

| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Okay, September is National Preparedness Month. | ||
| We're firing off the football. | ||
| Remember, tomorrow's the start of really the run-up to the holidays and to the end of the year. | ||
| It's going to be really a firestorm in Washington, D.C. | ||
| That firestorm is going to be about, wait for it, Money and power. | ||
| They're going to dangle out there the impeachment, but we've got to shut down. | ||
| We have to force Biden to shut down his illegitimate regime. | ||
| That will be on September 30th. | ||
| Now, what's one of the reasons for that? | ||
| Because the spending is out of control. | ||
| See how it affects you. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com right now. | ||
| Talk to one of the advisors there. | ||
| Make sure you ask them why central banks, why every central bank in the world except for the Federal Reserve, is buying gold at record numbers. | ||
| And the Federal Reserve is working on a digital currency. | ||
| They're spending their time on a digital currency, underwriting Biden's illegitimate regime to these massive deficits. | ||
| And the rest of the central banks in the world are buying gold. | ||
| They took the lesson of the Bricks who are trying to do a massive de-dollarization effort throughout the world. | ||
| That is going to impact you. | ||
| Talk to Birchgold. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com and find out why. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Dave Brett, Grace Moe, we're going to talk about what we're working on and how you can participate as we build the community of the War Room Posse. | ||
