Speaker Time Text
unidentified
I'm also here today to correct how the MAGA right has betrayed me for their political purposes.
I am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, and a husband from a loving and supportive family.
I'm proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and Yale Law School.
I'm proud of my legal career and business career.
I'm proud of my time serving on a dozen different boards of directors.
And I'm proud of my efforts to forge global business relationships.
For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House Committees who are in a closed-door session right now, have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, my family, and my friends.
They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction.
They've belittled my recovery.
And they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father, who has devoted his entire public life to service.
For six years, I have been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting, where's Hunter?
Well, here's my answer.
I am here.
Let me state as clearly as I can.
My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.
Yet, here I am, Mr. Chairman, Taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.
Well, I've chosen.
I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions.
Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics.
Expose their baseless inquiry or hear what I have to say.
What are they afraid of?
I'm here.
I'm ready.
Hello. I must be going. I cannot say I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same. I must be going.
Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry, or hear what I have to say.
Thanks for watching!
What are they afraid of?
I'm here.
I'm ready.
Why not testify now, sir?
Why not testify now?
Why did you dare?
If your father was- Votes voting, and we are gaveling.
There you have it.
Just about.
There you go.
221.
On this vote, the yeas are 221 and the nays are 212.
On this vote, the yeas are 221 and the nays are 212.
The resolution is adopted.
With that objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
Thank you.
Pursuant to Clause 8 of Rule 20, the unfinished business is the vote on the motion of the judge.
Yeah, listen, this is a matter that has been under investigation by federal prosecutors for five to six years, and the only charges they have arrived at, which are serious ones, are individual tax charges against the President's son and the purchase of a gun by the President's son.
If there had been evidence of public corruption that touched Joe Biden himself, certainly federal prosecutors under the Trump administration would have seen that.
I think the other embarrassment here is largely they are talking about activity that happened when Joe Biden was not in office.
It certainly is not activity related to any of his three years in the presidency today.
And where it touches the vice presidency, there was no evidence as well.
And so Republicans have really put themselves in a bad spot.
Will it matter politically?
Look, the base wants this, the Fox News viewer wants this, the Republican voters want this.
Democrats clearly don't.
Among the 6% of the persuadable voters that will decide the election next November, those that Paul often speaks to, what do they see in this moment?
Do they see an embarrassment that Republicans have brought upon the nation?
Or do they buy the storyline?
And that's where Democrats have to decide how they're going to hit back.
The Democrats do have to make a political decision here, unfortunately, because Republicans have now launched this missile towards the White House.
jerome powell
At the end of the year, it's natural to look back on the progress that has been made toward our dual mandate objectives.
Inflation has eased from its highs, and this has come without a significant increase in unemployment.
That's very good news.
But inflation is still too high, ongoing progress in bringing it down is not assured, and the path forward is uncertain.
As we look ahead to next year, I want to assure the American people that we're fully committed to returning inflation to our 2% goal.
I have always felt, since the beginning, that there was a possibility because of the unusual situation that the economy could cool off in a way that enabled inflation to come down without the kind of large job losses that have often been associated with high inflation and tightening cycles.
So far, that's what we're seeing.
That's what many forecasters on and off the committee are seeing.
This result is not guaranteed.
It is far too early to declare victory.
unidentified
You know, if you heard what Ali said before the vote and you heard what Molly said during the vote. There are no moderate Republicans.
Like, we need to just stop with the nonsense.
There are no moderate Republicans in the U.S.
House of Representatives.
There are proud MAGA, and there are scared MAGA.
That's it.
221 of them.
Every single member of the Republican House, whether they were a proud MAGA or a scared MAGA, just voted for a bogus, nonsensical impeachment motion to proceed because they pay fealty to Donald Trump.
And it is a shameful moment in American history.
It is a shameful moment for each one of these members.
But it is an important moment that every American watching right now should realize.
That there is nothing other than an authoritarian MAGA movement in the Republican Party.
And come next November, those members of Congress, a large number of them, are going to lose their seats over this.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
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
It's Thursday, 14 December, Year of Our Lord 2023.
You see how that was Mark Elias at the end, the toughest and smartest of the bad guys.
The one that stole the election in 2020 and out to steal again in 2024.
You see how scared to death they are of this impeachment, formal impeachment inquiry.
A lot going on.
NDAA.
Chip Roy's on the floor right now.
They're going to vote on this abomination.
Speaker Johnson, unacceptable what you've done.
You've waived the rules for the second time to get this up.
The majority of the majority in the House don't support this.
It should never come to the floor.
All the Woken weaponized.
Everything we fought to get out so they cannot pollute our military.
All of it is back in.
Virtually all of it is back in.
It is a terrible bill.
It should be defeated.
202-225-3121.
Call your representative.
Let them know that you got the hairy eyeball on them.
This is unacceptable if they vote for this.
And Speaker Johnson, you should be nothing but ashamed of yourself.
Spending yesterday afternoon with Paul Ryan.
We have Chip Roy?
Let's go right to, we're going to go to the floor, Chip Roy.
I got Kash Patel, Dave Brat with me.
Let's go to the floor, Chip Roy.
unidentified
This is a 15 minute vote.
We just missed you.
steve bannon
If we can pull that, what he said.
Chip Roy was a huge throwdown on this.
Russ Vogt is going to join us this afternoon.
He threw down this morning on Twitter.
Totally unacceptable.
We'll know in 15 minutes, and we will know who, if Mark Elias says there's no moderates, there's proud MAGA, which we hope we're the railhead of, and scared MAGA, and they're not MAGA, but if they're scared MAGA, they're going to be a lot more scared after today.
These traitors voting for these votes and rolling over, and Speaker Johnson, just unacceptable.
You talk a big game about Christianity, you talk a big game about biblical worldview, you talk a big game about Moses and the Red Sea and all that, it's all talk.
Talk, talk, talk.
Maybe the worst of it.
The worst of it's a woke, but just as bad, equally as bad, is FISA.
Kash Patel joins us.
Kash, this isn't open.
And here's the thing, for everybody says, you know, Mark Elias, Trump's authoritarian, MAGA's a group of fascists, Trump wants to be a new Caesar, a dictator.
Trump and MAGA are the people that are fighting to make sure that we cannot surveil American citizens.
Kash Patel, why is this bill an abomination?
kash patel
Look, as the former chief of staff at DOD, of course we should fund our Defense Department.
But what we should not do is jam in unconstitutional, unlawful surveillance authorities For Americans.
FISA has been abused by Chris Wray 274,000 times against America First Patriots.
He got caught.
And they want a clean reauthorization, which means they want a clean approval to do it again for another year.
And because the members in Congress didn't do their homework, didn't put in the rules and the fixes that Devin Nunes and I did five years ago from Russiagate, and waited until the last minute, they're trying to jam in this reauthorization into the NDAA.
And it's unacceptable.
Rick Grinnell and I put a statement out that it is better for this thing to go dark for seven days so Congress can work and implement the fixes needed so Americans don't suffer a rigged election because of unlawful FISA authority abuses by Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland.
It's simple.
Mike Lee and Rand Paul on the Senate side are leading the charge.
We can still fund the Defense Department and remove from the NDAA the 702 FISA bill.
It must be pulled out.
It is not enough of a fix.
It will allow Americans to be abused for another year in terms of illegal searches and seizures from a secret court that they won't even find out about until after the next election is rigged.
steve bannon
Real quickly, how many, Ray abused us how many times over the last year?
kash patel
274,000 times, 19,000 times against the congressional candidates' donors.
24,000 times against groups affiliated to January 6.
FISA is for foreign intelligence.
It's not to manhunt law-abiding Americans that you politically disagree with.
And 702 is their sword, and these guys are going to give it to them.
steve bannon
If they had the guts to pull it out and vote on that, it would be voted down.
This is just like the omnibus bill where they tucked in the changes to the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
This is the cartel in the swamp at work.
Cash, what's your social media?
Where do people follow you today on this?
kash patel
At Cash, at KSH, Rick Rennell and I, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence.
And the DNI put up statements.
Mike Lee's got him.
They're on Truth Social.
I'm blasting away all day on this.
We can defeat this.
House Republicans must stand up.
Follow Senator Mike Lee and Rand Paul over in the Senate.
They can strip this out.
41 senators.
That's all it takes to strip this out of the NDAA.
At Cash on Truth Social.
I'm going to be blasting all day.
Thanks, Steve.
I really appreciate your fight on safeguarding Americans' constitutional liberties, especially when it comes to the Fourth Amendment.
steve bannon
Just remember this, every time you hear them on MSNBC and CNN, every time you hear these politicians up saying Trump's a new Caesar, that we're a fascist movement, that we're authoritarian, remember on FISA, we fought for all Americans, all American civil liberties.
This is outrageous.
This is what a police state looks like.
Cash, thank you so much.
You and Ambassador Grinnell have been at the tip of the spear on this.
And of course, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, people that believe in the Constitution and constitutional rights.
Now, I take a harder stance.
Hey, the Pentagon's is going to deal with it.
You can't pass this bill.
If you pass this bill, this is all the woke back in.
This is what's destroying the military.
You want to know why they got a 25%?
Air pocket on recruiting for the army.
It's because of this.
All the fight that we did all spring and all summer to pass a bill that was pretty good.
Not perfect, but pretty good.
That's all been taken out by gutless and the gutless Republicans under Mitch McConnell and Steve Daines's entire crowd.
This is the Republican Senate.
This is exactly what they stand for.
This is terrible.
It's a terrible bill.
2-0-2-2-2-5-3-1-2-1.
We're gonna be back.
Much, much, much, much more.
unidentified
We're only... Cracked the surface right now.
steve bannon
Back in a moment.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when the...
Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
Okay, um...
steve bannon
Dave Brat joins me as my co-host.
Alex Jones is going to be here later today at 11 o'clock.
A lot to talk about, a lot to catch up with.
Peter Navarro is going to join us.
Brat, historically, so they're scared to death.
Remember, when they're dismissive, they're scared to death of the impeachment inquiry.
Here's why.
Now we have a place to adjudicate.
Now we have a place to get this information out in a formal setting.
And it's damning.
And they know it's damning.
The reason they're panicked is not that they don't want to get rid of Biden.
They do.
They don't have any mechanism to do that.
And they're obviously, in a trial in the Senate, never going to remove him in a trial.
So an impeachment will be in the House, but it will die in the Senate.
You will never get two-thirds.
They'll never allow that to happen.
That being said, and I hear from these guys all the time, they have no convening authority.
They have no apparatus to remove Biden.
The DNC is so eviscerated by their design.
Our RNC is just a collapse on incompetence.
Total incompetence.
And I think also malfeasance.
When you look at what they've done in these debates, the amount of money they've done.
But you should understand as we set the strategic framework for not just 2024, but beyond.
It is quite clear what's happening on the lawfare side, and I got to give a hat tip to Boris and to Mike Davis and anybody else bringing in this new blood at the appellate level.
Over the last 24 hours, 48 hours, and you wouldn't know that from watching MSNBC, the whole lawfare thing's kind of been blown out of the water a little bit.
It's going to be very tough to get any of these trials done, started before the election, which is all, it's election interference.
We'll have more on that, more details, but just, hey, the March 4th thing's already off.
She's put a stay on it, on any program, the crazy judge in D.C., which MSNBC nobody wants to talk about, but that's reality.
This new team is really winning in these appeals and at higher levels and finally getting some sanity there.
The deep state, this FISA thing gives the ability to surveil people.
That's being given by Republicans.
Now, Chip Roy's got a, he's trying to get a resolution to go home and not have to vote on this thing.
We'll see how that goes.
But the NDAA cannot be voted on today.
This thing is an abomination.
The other big element of this, it's the, the administrative state has taken, we've, we told you one of the most important parts of this process is to unmask people.
The unmasking.
To see actually who's a patriot and who's on our side and who believes in liberty.
Who believes in this nation?
Who believes in the citizens of this nation?
And who are globalist?
Who are part of the World Economic Forum?
Who put higher priorities on getting money to Ukraine for the money laundering operation over there and the payoff, it's payoffs for Zelensky.
Do you think, because this is all going to get into the Ukraine situation, the impeachment, to understand that.
They need to buy Zelensky and his guys' silence right now.
That's why they're fighting so hard in this Ukraine thing.
unidentified
It's maniacal what they're doing.
steve bannon
Most important day, Brad joins us, and I'm going to have Navarro at 1030.
Folks should understand, the spending situation, this massive Keynesian infusion, with employment where it is, the nominal growth where it is, all of that where it is, this massive, and massive like incomprehensible massive, with $200 billion or more deficits every month, Passing 34 trillion in 90 days, added a trillion.
The Fed yesterday said they're going to be hinted on three more cuts.
This is, we finally unmask the administrative state or the deep state part of the financials.
You have three verticals in the administrative or deep state.
You have the national security and the law enforcement, one vertical.
You have the biopharmaceutical, the second vertical, right, vouching all that crowd in the big pharma.
The other is the FBI, DOJ, all the big tech associated with them.
Of course, big tech is also biopharmaceutical.
And the third is the financial.
It's Treasury and it's the great villain.
The Federal Reserve, the Central Bank, and they understand.
When I start talking about Birch Gold and said, hey, the getting off the gold standard was just an executive order and it can be done away with, and people pick that up in the media, they freak out.
They're inside the chambers over there.
They're freaking out.
When we talk about and the Fed, they're freaking out.
The Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and the games they're playing right now to juice to put massive liquidity in the system and destroy the U.S.
dollar.
Destroy the US dollar and set us up for a catastrophic collapse if Trump is to win is to stop Trump.
There are two things that are either to stop Trump or make sure that Trump can't govern because the financial situation is too bad.
Dems are facts and we can back it up.
Dave Brat, have you ever seen anything like this, brother?
By the way, go to Birchgold right now and you must now understand the end of the dollar empire because it's happening right now on our watch.
On their watch.
But we're watching it.
And we gotta combat it.
Dave Brat, your thoughts?
unidentified
Okay, do I not have Dave Brat?
steve bannon
Okay, Dave, you gotta learn how to use technology.
It's called Mute.
Let's just skip it.
Nope, he's down.
Okay, anyway, let me continue on.
Dave, you had your opportunity.
You missed your mark in the war, baby.
You missed it.
Powell yesterday essentially said, not only is he going to do an easing, there's three more cuts he's going to do when no cuts are really going to be justified.
They're going to do everything in 2024 to stave off any possibility of recession.
They're going to flood the zone with cash.
The European Central Bank came out at the same time, was it Lagardère?
She came at the same time, said the exact same thing.
In conjunction, the two big central banks.
The third part is what Janet Yellen is doing over at Treasury.
There are pools of capital.
This is the stock market racing the last couple of weeks.
It's totally funny.
It's just been a fusion of liquidity.
She has emergency pools of capital that they are using now to put into the system without having to do quantitative easing.
She also has on this, and it's quite complicated to understand, but this whole reverse repo market.
They're infusing capital into the market that way.
My point.
The administrative state of the financials have come out and said flat out that the Donald J. Trump populist nationalist movement will never come back to power.
And we will use everything and every tool available.
So now you have the convergence of three forces.
You have the lawfare, the national security state, the same CIA guys, the 50 guys that signed the letter, with justice, lawfare, Jack Smith, the courts, all of it.
That's one.
Including stripping Trump of his net worth in Manhattan.
That's one line of work for their defense of the apparatus.
The second line of work is the biopharmaceutical.
They understand now that the excess deaths in the vaccine, and particularly Biden and these guys forcing everyone to take the vaccine, is a major problem.
You're going to see the biopharmaceutical and that whole aspect of it, and maybe even, I don't know, ginning up something else to terrorize everybody to put a mask back on and let's have mail-in ballots.
Because the biggest story here is Rasmussen shows what I've said from the beginning, It's the mail-in ballots, stupid.
20% of the American people, when asked the question, have said and admitted, 20% have admitted, that they fraudulently filled out mail-in ballots.
And trust me, two-thirds and 90% of that are Democrats.
Brett, what's your problem with the... I'm on a roll now, bro.
You lost your... You missed your mark here, brother.
This ain't Liberty, where you guys all sit... No, no.
You guys are very nice down in Lynchburg.
It's a nice... You're in the war room, man.
You gotta hit your mark.
Don't get between Bannon and a microphone.
Last thing, before I turn it over to Brett.
So the mail-in ballots, they gotta go back to the mail-in ballots.
Number three is now this new line of work, and this one is going to be the biggest and the most important of all.
They are absolutely going to destroy the US dollar and prepare to do that by flooding the zone with as much liquidity as possible to prop up the stock market to try to get the 10-year Treasury somehow below, you know, 5 or 4 percent to try to make it all as much good times as possible.
In the run-up to the 2024 election, so that take away Trump's argument about what a disaster that Biden has run.
He's the new Hoover.
The disaster he's run this economy.
Those three converging forces are the apparatus.
They understand.
This is not Republicans and Democrats.
Forget talking about Republicans and Democrats.
That's old ways of thinking.
This is nationalists versus globalists.
The fourth branch of government that the founders and the framers had no earthy idea and never approved, authorized or talked about.
The administrative state in its rogue element, the deep state, which controls this country and is not prepared to give it up.
It's not prepared to take its hand off the control mechanism.
And now they've thrown down.
Give me a minute on this, Brad, before we go to break.
dave brat
Yeah, well, I was going to call this new Fed move the Trump put, but then a wiser person advised maybe the Powell put is better.
That refers back to Greenspan.
And every time the economy needed a boost, the Fed was there to serve it up to save Wall Street and not Main Street.
That's why there's going to be a political realignment, not necessarily R&Ds.
It's going to be the middle class rising up against this.
Right now, the nominal GDP growth is 8.9%.
That would be considered fairly hot.
And so you would not expect the Fed to hint that they're going to lower rates.
Notice they didn't lower rates yet.
So a lot of this could be talk.
I hope it is.
But they're juicing everywhere possible.
The federal government is up 18% government spending over last year.
Government spending up 18% running 250 billion deficits every month.
So we're on our way to two and a half trillion dollars.
Stimulus spending, right?
Government spending seven and a half trillion.
Stimulus spending.
All of this stimulus.
steve bannon
Dave, hang on for one second.
Hang on one second.
Short break.
Peter Navarro joins us with Brad on the other side.
Okay, I am actually responding to somebody here even as we speak because things are going on, folks.
Motion to adjourn voted down.
Bunch of Republicans voted for it.
They want to get to the NDAA.
Remember, any of your representatives voting for this, this is a neo-Marxist, cultural Marxism, infested, infected into the, a bacillus inside the military that we took out.
So when Don Bacon and all these guys vote for it, this is, this is not something that has popped up.
This has been months and months and months.
And the Republicans in the Senate, they've done this to show you it's, it's not, they're not, we're not in the same party.
And yesterday, Mike Johnson has Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan came out in the most brutal, nasty beatdown of President Trump.
And I don't know, shareholders over at Murdoch News, I don't know how you allow, for the first time in history, I've never seen this, a guy sitting on a board of a publicly traded company eviscerates the leader of the largest political movement in American history.
And the leading candidate, the presumptive nominee in the Republican Party, I don't know how it goes.
And Mike Johnson, why you are spending time with, any time with Paul Ryan, but particularly in these last couple days, when everything's happening, and then you suspend, after you talk to him, you suspend the rules, let this NDA go up.
The commitment's supposed to be if the majority of the majority doesn't want to bring something to the floor, it doesn't come.
You suspended that.
Johnson, I'm telling you, bro, you can give me all the Bible verse you want, You got to step into the moment and start to, if you want to be, you know, Moses or Daniel, I don't know, pick your Bible figure.
Step up and show some courage because right now you're more honest than McCarthy.
You've done some better things than McCarthy.
You've moved impeachment and other things, but we're not going to just jump on these shiny toys.
And impeachment is something we will make important.
Not that you're going to be able to look away.
This will lead to everything coming up.
But right now, it's just not acceptable.
And we know the forces are reined against us.
This is up in your grill, what they're doing in lawfare with the deep state, what they're doing in biopharmaceutical with the deep state, what they're doing.
The mail-in ballots tells you.
The Rasmussen poll tells you.
20% of the American people admitted to it.
Admitted to it.
Overwhelmingly democratic.
Admitted to it.
And now the financial.
And the financial, they're gonna hit you with a wave of cash infusion, destroying the dollar.
Hey, right now, that's why you gotta go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.
You gotta talk to Philip Patrick and team.
Don't take it from me.
Talk to professionals.
I'm just a raving madman, but I called this one, another one we called, and Dave Brat just gave you the numbers.
This is why the anti-Trump forces in the Republican Party, Paul Ryan and that Wall Street Journal crowd, Paul Gigot and Murdoch and all of them, it's why you're not seeing them say anything about spending, why they're going home for a three-week vacation and coming back ten days before the CR.
They want the spending to continue.
When Brat says spending's going up 8% and you have a Republican House on watch?
And you're not upping people's grills, not just calling hearings defunding, cut the money off.
Only the framers gave you the power to do that.
Mike Lindell's jammed for time, so let me get Mike Lindell.
Is Mike Lindell with me?
Mike Lindell, tell us about the factory floor.
Hey, the country, the dollar may be imploding nationwide, but we got to make it work at MyPillow.
Give me a couple minutes on MyPillow.
How are we doing today?

Mike Lindell, thank you so much.
We look forward to having you back on this afternoon, brother.
Thank you.
unidentified
All right.
Thanks.
Thanks.
steve bannon
Get to MyPillow right now.
Thanks.
Thank you, brother.
We got the Christmas bonus to these folks because of your efforts.
MyPillow.com, promo code WORM.
Peter Navarro, I called you this morning.
I gave you all the information, the updates, pal.
Yellen's really the mastermind of this.
The old granny's over there, and she knows how to use these pockets of capital.
They're into, I think, the Treasury Emergency Fund.
It's a trillion dollars.
They've got these reverse repos they're doing.
Bottom line, they're juicing the system with cash, because they've made a determination, under no circumstances will Wall Street, will the central bank of this country, the Treasury, your bettors, Will they ever?
The lords of easy money.
The lords of easy money will never, ever, ever allow Donald Trump to return to the White House with the likes of Peter Navarro.
Dr. Navarro, your thoughts?
peter navarro
So, two numbers, Steve.
Numbers that I never would have ever guessed.
unidentified
17%.
peter navarro
That's the increase in annual government outlays year over year.
Think of that, 17% one year, and the other one is 8.9%.
That was the Q3, quarter three growth rates, the nominal growth rate.
Now, those numbers have been economists like comes out of a time capsule, looks at that and says, that's what happens.
And that's what you're seeing in one year and one quarter.
That's like, that's like unbelievable.
It's so unbelievable that it's going to crash us all, but I think you're absolutely right.
This Federal Reserve press conference this week by Jay Powell really unmasked the financial portion of that deep state that you've referenced.
The fix is in.
The Fed fix is now officially in.
I'm not surprised.
The context here is something called the political business cycles.
Political business, I learned about this like 20 years ago back at Harvard when I was getting my PhD, and it was simply the observation that in presidential election years, the economy tends to grow faster than it otherwise would because the incumbent, who has both the fiscal and monetary policy levers to pull, can goose the economy.
So that is what we're witnessing.
A normal course of business, but the problem here, Steve, it's the political business cycle on steroids.
And we're careening towards a fiscal cliff.
It's like Biden was like, Biden and Congress were in one car, like heading there.
Now, Jay Powell's coming up in his fed Ferrari, and they're both going to take us over that together.
steve bannon
And Treasury.
Okay, hang on a second.
Hang on a second.
Hang on a second.
We are not opposed to a .9% growth, nominal growth.
We're not opposed to it.
If this was real and not juiced, all you're doing and the fixes in against Trump is so obvious.
And this is why when Johnson meets with Paul Ryan, that symbolism tells you everything you need to know.
This is why there's no fight.
No fight.
Remember, this 17% growth is off a post-COVID number.
Remember, the fight we're trying to get is back to the Trump budget of 19.
If we did that, not all of our problems would be over, but it'd be a massive step to getting them.
It'd be directionally how you get your hands around it.
And you're telling me the government wasn't big enough in the fall and the fall and Christmas of 2019?
Was government not doing enough?
That's to get to pre-COVID.
This 17% is off the post-COVID number with a Republican House.
Let that set in for a second, folks.
With the Republican House.
And don't sit there and tell me we only control one-third or one-half.
That's all crap.
If you had the stones and the balls, you could shut this thing down right now.
The NDA just passed.
It just passed.
This is Mike Johnson, and don't tell me you're a Christian.
I don't want to hear you're a Christian.
Don't wear your faith.
Don't give me the Bible.
I don't hear more Bible verse.
When you've allowed the transgender, you've allowed all that garbage, all that demonic trash, Throughout the defense budget that you wonder why you wonder why you can't get you wonder why you can't get that you can't get Kids, you know red-blooded American boys and girls to get into the military
With what you've done in this neo-Marxism and this cultural rot that now you have taxpayers paying for in almost a trillion dollars, and you allowed this to happen when the commitment, the commitment, if you can't get the majority of the majority done, go to the floor, the hazard rule.
But you waive that to get this there because you're playing footsie with Mitch McConnell, Schumer, and you're just as bad as the Biden guys because you should know better.
So I don't need to hear any more biblical worldview, okay?
I saw in action.
Your intentions don't matter.
The only thing that matters is your human agency in what you deliver.
What you deliver.
So don't give me the biblical worldview.
I saw it in the NDA.
Your biblical worldview is manifested there.
So don't do another prayer group.
We don't, I don't, what I need is Christians at the ramparts prepared to stand in the breach in what we call the gap.
It's not easy.
You're going to get criticized on MSNBC.
Mitch McConnell's going to say bad things about you.
The donor's going to say this and that.
Screw them!
unidentified
You either believe it or you don't believe it.
steve bannon
Also, Peter, don't forget Janet Yellen.
Give me what Treasury is.
Treasury is on steroids.
She's back there at the controls with emergency measures, infusing the system with cash.
This is why you got this stock market increase.
Peter Navarro.
peter navarro
Let's remember that she was at the Federal Reserve.
She's the one that got booted upstairs.
I mean, the underlying politics of this are simple.
I mean, Jay Powell was appointed by Donald Trump at the request It turned out to be, in President Trump's own words, one of his worst appointments.
Powell screwed us from day one.
And Powell knows this, that his future depends on keeping Trump out of the White House.
And so the fact that he's moving headlong into supporting this fiscal profligacy should be no surprise.
What was interesting yesterday, Steve, is that there wasn't a single person in the financial press who asked Powell the only question that should have been asked.
Are you easing too soon?
Are you worried about a re-acceleration of inflation?
I mean, in the same week that you had signs in the data that said inflation is re-accelerating, nobody even asked Powell about this.
And history is a harsh mistress here, Steve.
In the 1970s, stagflation, the Fed and the government made the same identical move, which is to say that in the initial pulse of inflation, it slowed down, the Fed eased off, and then boom!
steve bannon
Peter, hang on for one second.
We're just going to take a short break.
Bratt, Navarro, got Alex Jones coming up, the War Room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
NDA passed, FISA extended to April, but actually they can use the 702 into next year.
There'll be another big fight.
This is a complete and total capitulation.
Don't let anybody spin you any other ways.
We want to give it to you with the bark on.
This is a complete and total capitulation.
Like they're capitulating across the... And the reason is that the rearguard action of McCarthy and Paul Ryan in this crowd, the hate Trump... Don't take my word for it.
Go to my ghetto right now to see what Paul Ryan said about Trump.
A narcissistic populist, not a conservative.
But dude, if you're a conservative and we've gotten in this shape because of what you've done and the bills you pass and what you support right now, then dude, that's why nobody wants to be called a conservative anymore.
Don't you get it?
You are part, you, the controlled, not conservative, the C is controlled opposition.
You've allowed this to happen and the reason your sin is worse than our opponents is that you know better.
You're doing this for power and money.
You sit on the board of Murdoch, the biggest creeps in the world.
Cretins.
You sit there and you trash Trump?
I cannot believe there's not a shareholder lawsuit about this.
I'm stunned by that.
Never seen any board in this country of a public trade.
Show me, please show me, any public trade company in history that's had a board member that's trashed the leader and the movement of a major thing that's driving that company.
Give me an example.
Please show me an example.
One.
Not two.
I need to see one.
This is an outrage and there should be a shareholder lawsuit immediately to turf that guy out of the board.
And what he calls... Look, he's such a loser, too.
He's a big intellectual.
He wants to think great thoughts from the University of Miami at Ohio.
A redskin.
Or what they used to be called.
Don't know what they're politically called now.
Correct called now.
But that's... I think he was an accounting major.
Another genius.
Like Birdbrain.
Nikki Haley.
From Clemson.
Not dumping on Clemson.
I went to VPI.
Not getting ahead of myself here.
Getting my britches too big.
Disgusting.
Dave Brat.
Give me a chart.
By the way, today's your day to go to Birchgold.
Talk to Philip Patrick slash Bannon.
Get the end of the dollar empire.
I didn't start working on this three years ago for my health.
I knew this day was coming.
And by the way, the BRICS Nation is looking pretty smart, aren't they?
Buying the gold, loading up in 2022 and 2023, they look pretty smart.
Brett, what do you got for me?
dave brat
Yeah, well, what Peter Navarro just mentioned, the political business cycle, folks are probably not familiar with that.
But bottom line, shocker, everybody gets it intuitively.
The Federal Reserve, the administrative state, mainstream economists at the Ivy League schools who are in the news lately.
There's plenty of research on this.
The biographies of all the famous economists.
Guess what?
All the liberals from Manhattan and Boston and San Fran and LA, etc., go to the liberal schools, and they're all Keynesians who believe in running the government and your life from on high, right?
That's how you got the national accounts with a C plus I plus G, where G is now $7 trillion they're playing with.
On the other side, you got about seven economists in the country that are conservative, you know, Steve Moore, the monetarists, supply-siders, etc.
And so what you're saying and what Peter is saying is, there's a huge thumb coming on to the Federal Reserve and the federal government by all the policymakers.
It's no shocker.
It's called the political business cycle.
People can go look it up.
And the first chart, here's some Federal Reserve.
The dates are going to jump off the page at you.
You're going to get Very excited at this one.
But one of the researchers showed a great point.
Inflation is not transitory.
It's permanent.
And inflation is permanent in the sense that once you lose your purchasing power, it's gone forever.
unidentified
Right?
dave brat
So, over the past four years, you've lost 20% of your purchasing power.
How did this happen?
steve bannon
Kaboom!
dave brat
Yeah, how did we get into this cycle?
Take a look at this chart.
Here's your cumulative inflation.
That's up by 2,900%.
That's not a typo.
Since 1910.
Where did it all start, you know, going up like a rocket ship? 1970.
steve bannon
Steve, how's your pulse going with what happened in 1970?
No, no, no, no, no.
unidentified
1971.
steve bannon
August of 1971.
Coming off the gold standard.
unidentified
Right.
dave brat
Come on, baby.
There's your Federal Reserve discipline.
steve bannon
That's where they did it.
dave brat
Right off the gold standard, no discipline, printing money, the Greenspan put after the 07-08 financial crisis, which ruined our economy for the next 20 years.
Now the Federal Reserve, Powell, any mainstream economist right now, when you have 8.9% nominal GDP growth and you have 18% Increase year-over-year government spending.
18% after COVID would say, what should you do?
Should you be a little cautious and maybe cool things or should you just speed things up even more?
Are you crazy?
So it's all politics.
steve bannon
There's no rational explanation.
It's a massive Keynesian infusion stimulus that the Republicans go along with.
Dave, we got to bounce.
I need people to get to these charts.
So where are you going to put them up?
dave brat
Yeah, Brad Economics on Getter, and hey, I know how to hit the mute button.
That was a threat to my manhood on the wardroom, so I'm just telling the folks, I'm in perfect control of that mute button.
There were other external issues.
steve bannon
We're getting a new system worked out for Dave.
Dave, thank you so much, brother.
Peter Navarro, you put out a weekly assessment of capital markets.
Where can people get that?
peter navarro
Yeah, peternavar.substack.com, peternavar.substack.com.
Stevie, there's something that I used to do before joining the Trump administration.
For years, I wrote my macro wave newsletter, decided to revive it because of the obvious macro carnage going along.
So every Friday, it comes out, peternavar.substack.com.
And of course, later in the week, we have the other kinds of articles.
steve bannon
Um, such as, uh, what came out this week in the Washington times about, uh, where everybody goes is, is, is the sub stack is a sub stacks where people go to get this, your macro way is the capital markets.
peter navarro
Uh, I need everybody reading that.
I think we have a large war room contingent on there.
And I appreciate the warm room plugging into that.
steve bannon
I want to get you on either Fridays when it comes out or Saturday morning to do an assessment because this is very important.
peter navarro
I got to give you just kudos for that beautiful Tucker Carlson interview.
And as we were talking today, when Tucker raised this issue of how we're bringing in illegal airlines and giving them weapons, Uh, in our D.O.D.
to how that's dangerous, um, there we are.
unidentified
Peter, look forward to your, uh, Friday assessment, brother.
