Speaker	Time	Text
unidentified		Chair recognizes Ms.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Mays from South Carolina.
unidentified		Thank you Mr. Chairman, Chairman Comer.
		First of all, my first question is who brought Hunter Biden to be here today?
		That's my first question.
		Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed.
		What are you afraid of?
		You have no balls to come up here and- Mr. Chairman, point of inquiry.
		Mr. Chairman, if the gentlelady wants to hear from Hunter Biden, we can hear from him right now, Mr. Chairman.
		Let's take a vote and hear from Hunter Biden.
		What are you afraid of?
		Are women allowed to speak in here or no?
		Are women allowed to speak in here or no?
		You keep interrupting me.
		I'll interrupt the chairman.
		I don't know that he's a lady.
		I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now, and go straight to jail.
		Our nation is founded on the rule of law.
		Come on, come on.
		And the premise that the law applies equally to everyone, no matter what your lack- Point of order, Mr. Chairman.
		Point of order.
		It doesn't matter who you are.
		Point of order, Mr. Chairman.
		Biggs over here.
		Donald Trump Jr.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Biggs over here.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		State your point, Mr. Chairman.
unidentified		For that amendment, and I'll vote for the Hunter Biden contempt.
		I yield back.
		Gentlemen, time's expired.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Chair recognizes Ms.
unidentified		Green from Georgia for five minutes.
		Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
		Excuse me, Hunter, apparently you're afraid of my words.
		I'd like to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman.
		I'd like to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman.
marjorie taylor greene ▲ ● ▼		I think it's clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong, conservative Republican women because he can't even face my words as I was about to speak to him.
unidentified		What a coward.
		And this is also a coward that says— Okay, we're hearing Marjorie Taylor Greene inside the committee room.
		We're looking at images outside that hearing room where we're seeing Abby Lowell, Hunter Biden's attorney, speak.
		Let's listen.
		sought to use him as a surrogate to attack his father.
		And despite their improper partisan motives, on six different occasions since February of 2023, we have offered to work with the House committees to see what and how relevant information to any legitimate inquiry could be provided.
		Our first five offers were ignored, and then in November, they issued a subpoena for a behind-closed-doors deposition, a tactic that the Republicans have repeatedly misused.
		in their political crusade to selectively leak and mischaracterize what witnesses have said.
		Last fall, Chairman Comer made an explicit offer that people like Hunter and had like him the option to attend...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Geez, I wonder who's going to federal prison for four months because of Nancy Pelosi's subpoena for behind closed doors that they actually weaponized and wouldn't play the game.
		What's good for the goose, baby, has got to be better for the gander.
		Right there, you see Nancy Mace and MTG throwing down hard, and they're too gutless even to stick around and hear it.
		They argue that MAGA is the source of all chaos and Donald Trump's the source of all anarchy.
		We're in a fourth turning and fourth turning is when institutions collapse because of the rot and decay and the control by the elites.
		Right here you're seeing the collapse of your institutions before you, driven by radical Uniparty Democrats.
		And it couldn't be a better example than today.
		We're going to try to break this down more and get people on here throughout the day of what happened over at the House today.
		But Hunter Biden, as soon as MTG came to the mic, he was out of there.
		You understand he was about to get eviscerated.
		Okay, I've got a lot on the... and by the way, we're going to move around some people here because we spend more time.
		I think Jim Hoft has got an amazing breaking news coming out of Michigan with what they're doing with Gateway Pundit.
		I think we may get him this afternoon.
		I don't know if we're going to have enough time this morning, but we got a lot going on.
		Harnwell, etc.
		But I got to go back to Dave Brat.
		Dave, Because this economic crisis and the invasion are the two crises that are immediately taking down the country, and the elites don't want to face it.
		And quite frankly, Johnson and the wimps, they just had a... And Dave, you've been in these conferences before, and you know how intense it can get.
		But Jim Jordan, and you know Jim Jordan.
		Jim Jordan is a gentleman, right?
		But he came after... Jordan and his posse came after Johnson in public today and threw down.
		One of the questions that was up there is that they asked Speaker Johnson point-blank if he is willing to shut down the government on 19 January rather than pass a CR given that he committed to not have any more CRs and that he personally hates CRs.
		Johnson said, quote, I'm very hopeful and optimistic that we can meet the deadline, end quote.
		Though McConnell and nobody else, even we say that's impossible right now given the lack of work.
		It's a joke.
		You're not going to meet the deadline.
		If you can't sit there and you, what are you thinking?
		You can't spin people.
		It is just physically impossible, not fiscally, but physically impossible to meet the deadline on the 19th.
		There's too much work to be done.
		Dude, you just took three weeks off for Christmas.
		The Senate, I don't even know if the Senate's been around for the fall.
		They haven't done anything.
		It is, to sit there and just say, well, I'm very optimistic and hopeful.
		Are you crazy?
		This is my point, and then at the last second it's going to be, well, I've got to do a C.R.
		Athun wants to go through March.
		Johnson, this is the thing.
		You don't need your glasses as your logo.
		You need a titanium.
		Look at Nancy Mace and look at MTG.
		Give me a set of titaniums, okay?
		That's what you need right now.
		Let's continue on with Krugman because I want to make sure people are getting signal here.
		The New York elite uniparty establishment using Krugman, who's now just a political hack from this Nobel Prize, which nobody can really tell me what he won it for, he's coming after MAGA with these two pieces.
		And I want you to walk through them Dave, but the first is about the Federal Reserve, the other is about kind of mega economics.
		Walk us through what Krugman, I want people to frame, I want you to frame this that they understand that now Wall Street is coming at this movement in the biggest way and the first thing they want to do is they want to protect the permanent fiat money printing machine, the Federal Reserve.
		Sir?
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's right.
		Well, James Rickards did a great job yesterday, right?
		That long-term capital management was bailed out by the banks.
		And then in 2008, The Fed bailed out the system, but now the Fed's balance sheet is broken, and this is why the House has to do its job.
		The New York Times also has an article saying, you know, MAGA's going to come hit the Fed, and it'll be disingenuous.
		So let me tell you real clearly, New York Times, the reason we're against lowering rates right now is because it validates and accommodates this $2.5 trillion deficit plans that now the House is going along with.
		That will crush the nation.
		All the charts I have, the Fed, if you want to look at chart number one, if Denver wants to pull that one up, the main responsibility of the Federal Reserve is to offer us stable prices and stable markets.
		Does that graph right there look to you since 1920 like we have stability?
		This is what you call in economics the boom-bust cycle.
		Every time the Fed comes in, it's to protect the rich, the Wall Street fat cats.
		So the New York Times says, well, we're disingenuous if we don't want to lower rates.
		If you want us to be, you know, credible, let's get rid of this $2.5 trillion deficit spending.
		The speaker's got to say no to that.
		All of this, of course, is linked to the elitists on the border and the border invasion as well.
		But if you want to go to the next chart, Denver, the boom and bust, I'll post all that kind of stuff.
		But these losses that you see over that long term cycle last 10 or 20 years, right?
		We'll have a lost decade.
		And you saw at the far right of that last graph that the market is way overvalued, right?
		And that, you know, that Schiller Nobel, you know, Yale Nobel Prize winner as well.
		So here's our problem we have on the war room, right?
		Since 1971, when the Federal Reserve decoupled from gold, it has not used its moral authority and its power on behalf of the American people, right?
		The people never got a bailout.
		In 2008, all the criminal activity, no one went to jail.
		The Tea Party movement was formed right in there in response to that.
		And the people know now the Fed is still holding up financial markets.
		They're not doing anything to incentivize small business, etc.
		And so here's the evidence on that chart.
		Look at that blue line.
		That's government expenditures as a percent of GDP.
		It goes up, up, up.
		And now it's going to go way more up.
		And the Republican Congress is going to validate that with a vote.
		And then the Federal Reserve will validate that by printing as much money as they need The black line, by contrast, is your lived experience, people.
		Real GDP per capita.
		That's your standard measure in economics of human welfare.
		And as the government spending goes up, your welfare goes down, down, down.
		Next graph, Denver.
		This is just the Case-Shiller Index chart 3.
		Just shows in the middle at zero, that's the historic average.
		The gray line way down the middle.
		We're way over that, right?
		Stocks are way overpriced.
		There's a correction.
		Rickards said it.
		Everybody knows it.
		Why do you think the CBO has us growing at 1% next year, right?
		So the Fed's just talking up happy talk right now, trying to prop up the economy, keep it going for their political favorites.
		All political views are my own.
		And the final one, the final chart four, is the most important of all, right?
		Not long after 1971 and the decoupling from gold, a free market system is supposed to Allow for winners and losers.
		And if a firm makes mistakes, they go bankrupt.
		But the government never goes bankrupt.
		When they goof up everything, if they make green energy guesses and all this nonsense they're doing, they never go bankrupt.
		And the big banks and Wall Street, when they make major mistakes, break the law, they don't go bankrupt.
		The only people that go bankrupt are the hard-working people in America, small business.
		And this chart shows that 1980, There's a huge decoupling between the productivity in our country, and that's the most important variable in economics, and the pay that people get.
		Productivity was going up, up, up, and our pay is flatlining, as you can see on the bottom blue line.
		And even more important on that graph, on the left of that dotted line at 1980, productivity is growing at 4% over that 30-year period.
		Until the Fed decouples from gold, we lose our discipline, and the Fed through monetary policy validates everything under the sun except for business.
		The economy is supposed to be about business, and all you read about today is the federal funds rate, or what's Treasury Secretary Yellen's got a new trick up her sleeve for some technical mumbo-jumbo.
		And then after 1980 on that graph, productivity falls to one and a half percent.
		That's the number you've heard on The War Room.
		Over and over and over.
	That's the CBO growth rate for GDP, and that is the CBO projection for productivity for the next 20 years as well.
	Because the Fed has gone a long way to ruining the real economy.
	They're incentivizing everything except manufacturing and productivity in this country, and therefore they're not incentivizing you, the American people, and Congress is in charge of them.
	That's the other thing that people don't, there's all sorts of, the banks are running them, the 12 reserve banks, the special banks, but Congress is in charge.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Well, you say they're in charge.
		That is the fight we're going to have.
		Remember, the New York Fed, the New York Fed, which is the desk, that's the trading desk of government securities, where they're making money hand over fist.
		Essentially, the prime brokers own the New York Fed.
		How did that happen?
		And they go, well, it's not really important, Steve.
unidentified		Well, hold it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		If it's not important, then give it to us.
		The people want to own it.
		The prime brokers.
		The Fed stinks to high heaven.
		You can't get an audit on it.
		You can't get an audit on the Defense Department.
		I want to leave one chart.
		I don't have time today, but I will tomorrow.
		Axios.
		Headline.
		You know, and Axios is the mouthpiece for corporate media.
		And for the corporatists in Washington, D.C., it's the Uniparty's, basically, tip sheet every morning.
		Percentage of U.S.
		equity and mutual fund shares owned by the wealthiest 10% of the population.
		What's that number?
		93%.
		This is the whole scam right here.
		The top 10% own 93% of the stock market, okay?
		I know this is spread out when we want more ownership, but that's all dribs and drabs.
		That comes to, what, 710%.
		You're a sucker.
		to what, 710%.
		You're a sucker.
		If you're out there voting for this, you're a sucker.
		They're playing you.
		This is a con.
		It's a scam.
		The Federal Reserve, the fiat currency, that you end up with higher interest rates.
		Because people said before, well, the deficits don't matter, Steve.
		Nobody talks about them.
		The deficits are coming back and crushing people.
		And we're going to prove it in the next block.
		We're going to talk about credit card and credit card debt.
		Because that's the game.
		They get you on a little credit card debt, and then they put you on the hamster wheel.
		Once you're on the wheel, baby, you don't get off the wheel.
		And they got every idea and scam in the world to keep you addicted to that.
		Dave, real quick, where can people get your charts, brother?
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, just Brad Economics and Come Visit Liberty and Professor Krugman.
		7% of the people own 90% of the stocks, bonds and pensions.
		That's a fact.
		And on this show, we say that's morally bad.
		We're steeped in the Judeo-Christian morality of Moses in the New Testament.
		I'd love to hear your commentary on that chart, brother.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, brother.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you see the scam.
		10% own 93.2% of the value, the stocks, the value of all the publicly traded equities.
		I want you to think about that for a second.
		If the revolutionary, I say this over and over again, if the revolutionary generation came back today, they would spit on the floor about what we've allowed to happen.
		And you have to remember the audience, I understand this is sometimes unpleasant, but you have to have this internal purge Before you can come and, you know, renew yourself.
		Renewal.
		The party that you supported and gave money to and knocked on doors for and did all that was compliant in this.
		They were controlled opposition and many times actually push it even more.
		They have traditionally been the party of the wealthy.
		And what they've done for the working class people and for the people who are out there believing in them and knocking on doors and giving 50 bucks and all that, Was it just a thought?
		They were throwing shiny toys out for you and staying away from the heart of the matter.
		That's why they hate this show and they're always trying to shut this show down.
		They hate the fact that somebody who has been there, and been educated, right, in this, and steeped in this, and can bring the Jim Rickards of the worlds on, and the Dave Bratz of the world on, and the Richard Stearns of the world on, and talk in a sophisticated manner in a way that you guys can understand, because we never lower the bar, we raise the bar, and you have grabbed onto this, and you've put the fear of God into Capitol Hill, because now they can't fool you with this happy talk.
		You know, formerly in the old days, McCarthy and Johnson, these guys, could walk on Fox and give you the stupid talking points, the RNC talking points, the cartel talking points, and you would buy it, because they would just repeat it and repeat it and repeat it.
		You can't do that anymore.
		We ripped the mask off that and said, no, no, no, that's actually not true.
		Your math does not hold up.
		And that's why we're in this financial crisis.
		Remember, Reason Magazine, a libertarian magazine, no friend of the war room, has concurred with us, another trillion dollars added.
		We'll be at 35 trillion, they say, by the end of March.
		You heard a clip now that this thing is spinning out of control.
		And Johnson yesterday said on Fox, on Murdoch News, on the controlled opposition, they're sitting there unchallenged.
		He says, well, you know, I got $16 billion in cuts.
		It's like, are you insane, dude?
		Have you lost your mind?
		It's so stupid and so juvenile.
		It's got to stop.
		We have to have a throwdown now.
		You've got to replace him.
		You've got to keep going.
		Hey, maybe Jordan wants to come up and he'll say, hey, I'll cut this thing.
		Jim Jordan, we liked you the first time.
		We didn't think you were Jordan 1.0, but if you go back to Jordan 1.0, you're going to have a lot of support.
		And because this thing's got to be sorted.
		And now's the time to have the fight.
		202-225-3121.
		Call up.
		They fear you.
		You know why they fear you?
		They understand that you're an electorate that's just not going to take the crap anymore.
		That you see how it's destroying people's lives.
		I want to get into this.
		So you've seen the upside.
		You've seen the trillions of dollars owned by the top 10%.
		The revolutionary generation will come back and say, hey, we put it on the line.
		We put our lives on the line, our property on the line, our names on the line, our families on the line to fight a worthless landed aristocracy.
		And as importantly, the crown giving these monopolistic charters to people like the British East India Company.
		We're not doing that.
		The United States is what it is today because of the brilliance of the founder generation and the heroism of people like the Andrew Jacksons of the world to fight this centralization of central banks and to let the financial community run the deal or monopolistic power to run the deal.
		That is our heritage.
		And that's what we're fighting here.
		But they have gotten very sophisticated of how to basically get you into the system so locked in at such an early age that you can never really question anything.
		You can't challenge anything because you're locked in financially.
		And how is that?
		By the issuing of credit cards and giving you a little bit of credit.
		The Daily Mail the other day had an article, 56 million, 56 million of your countrymen, are in credit card debt like longer than a year.
		In other words, they never clean up the balance.
		They're always out there, and now they're paying these entire rates.
		I reach out to Michael Pearson over at Done With Debt, and Pearson, here's what I like about you.
		You say, whatever you do right now, if you've got this kind of debt, don't just take your bonus and try to pay it down, and particularly don't take your tax return income and pay it down.
		You're just playing the sucker's game, that there's another way to do this, and you've got to break yourself out of this system Are they going to have you captured?
		You're going to be a debt slave.
		Just like the country right now, we're debt slaves because we are.
		That's why I wrote the fourth installment of The End of the Dollar Empire.
	You're a debt slave as a nation, and they're just burying you every day, but they've also got you personally.
	You're a debt slave.
	It's time to break the chains and break the slavery.
	The first way you can do it as an individual is with a credit card.
	Pearson, you're an expert.
	I'll turn it over to you.
	Tell folks what they got to do or what our recommendation is that they talk to you guys about doing.
unidentified		Well, what they got to do is take a step forward and realize that there is help out there.
		We can help them.
		Donewiththat.com.
		They go there, they fill out a simple questionnaire.
		We can help them reduce the interest overall or stop the interest right away.
		Help them out of this financial hamster wheel they're in.
		I read that article as well.
		49% of credit card holders in the U.S.
		are just stuck for over a year in credit card debt.
		We have the solution here done with debt.
		All you got to do is speak to one of our professionals.
		We'll take you through a free consultation to figure out where you're at and we'll get you out of this.
		We'll settle with the creditors.
		We'll be your bodyguard against the creditors.
		We'll help you get out of debt quickly and efficiently.
		So you can start over, have a fresh start and break free from this again financial hamster wheel you've been on for most Americans over a year.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I just want to make sure I understand something so the audience understands it.
		You take the kind of two opposite pieces of the spectrum and you're saying, don't just continue to take your tax returns or your bonus and pay it down a little bit because then you're still on the wheel.
		And also, you don't need to go declare bankruptcy.
		You don't need to take it to that level right now.
		There's kind of a middle way.
		Just walk me through what the middle way is and why it's effective and it doesn't kill somebody's credit.
unidentified		Yeah, it won't kill someone's credit.
		Using your tax refund to try to pay off this debt.
		It's just, it's another trap there.
		So it's useless pretty much.
		Bankruptcy will stick with you 7 to 10 years.
		We have the solution here.
		We do debt settlements.
		So what we do is take you through a consultation, figure out how much you owe in credit cards, unsecured debt.
		And we get in front of it by settling with the creditors.
		We settle upwards of over 55% of your debt.
		Get you on a pay plan with no interest so you can get out of debt quickly and efficiently with us.
		We're the middle ground.
		You don't need to do bankruptcy.
		You don't need to waste your partner on tax refund at the beginning of the year.
		You talk to us through a consultation.
		We go and try to settle your debt for over 50% and get you on a pay plan and eliminating the long-term interest.
		Which is at about an average on robbing debt, 23%, as we stand currently.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		At 23%, you're never going to dig yourself out.
		That's what they're saying.
		They'll take care of the face amount.
		They'll cap the interest at the time.
		But you got to talk to a professional.
		Where do they go one more time?
		They got to fill out some things, see if they're eligible.
		Where do they go?
		I want everybody to know where to go.
		Where do they go right now?
unidentified		They go to donewithdebt.com.
		Once again, that's donewithdebt.com.
		They fill out this short little questionnaire and one of our debt relief experts will give you a call right away and take you through a consultation to get you out of this debt.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		So once again... Pearson, thank you so much.
		Look forward to having you.
		Dumbbutt.com.
		We're going to have you back on here in the future to go through this.
		Thank you so much.
unidentified		Okay, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for having us.
		Thanks, brother.
		The fight that we're having as a nation, first of the whole world, I think it's 300 trillion dollars of debt.
		There's going to be a margin call.
		OK, there's going to be a margin call and it's not going to be pretty.
		What they're doing now, and this is why we are our angle of attack is on the Federal Reserve, because this is the this is the way that this is the way that the elites control the country with the ability to print unlimited fiat currency, to continue to bail themselves out and to let them concentrate wealth more.
		Like I said, if the revolutionary generation came back here and saw the invasion of the southern border, coupled with the concentration of power, of money, because with money goes power.
		That's what the show's about.
		We play modern-day holy war, we talk about the spiritual holy war, and it is, but it manifests itself in this fight over money and power.
		And he who has the money has the power.
		That's just the way the imperial capital works.
		So you have as a nation That we're debt slaves right now.
		And it's spinning out of control.
		It was 105 days, 102 days to go from $33 trillion to $34 trillion.
		When McHenry and McCarthy cut the deal on the debt ceiling back in May and June, it was $31.4 trillion.
		We've added $2.6 trillion since then.
		One of the reasons is the collapse of tax revenue.
		Why?
		Because the real economy ain't hitting on all cylinders.
		You know that.
		But it's also personal.
		It's at a personal level.
		And I think this year what we're going to try to do is both on taxes, back taxes, and on credit card debt.
		To help free your country, you must be free.
		Right now, you're a debt slave, a lot of times, to the IRS for these back taxes.
		The other is for credit cards.
		The credit card is to get, and this is why they hit you in college, this is when they hit you first out, they give you a little bit of credit, you know, $5,000.
		Remember, during the boom, you were getting five or six credit cards a week.
		Oh, get this, just sign, just go.
		Once you're into the credit system, and you need credit, I'm not arguing against credit, you need credit, but you need to know how to use credit to your advantage.
		Here, it's just to get you into this consumption game.
		And a lot of people psychologically got to fall back on it because it calms them from other anxieties they have, at least for a short term.
		But it leads to making you a slave.
		Making you a slave.
		The average interest rate is now 23%.
		There's no business in the world that can continue to finance itself at 23%.
		You certainly can't.
		And there is a solution.
		We don't declare bankruptcy.
		But you also don't have to just sit there and continue to take your bonus, and take your tax refund, and just pay it down a little bit so you're just a hamster on the wheel.
		You're just a hamster on the wheel.
		So that's why, just go to the guys who are done with that.
		Get the information from them.
		See if it makes sense for you.
		We gotta purge, we gotta clean, we gotta clean up, uh, your ballot sheet.
		Your personal ballot sheet.
		So you can assist us in cleaning up the nation's ballot sheet.
unidentified		As above, so below.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Short commercial break.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Todd Bensman on the invasion on the southern border, next.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I mentioned the previous but birchgold.com slash ban it get the end of the dollar empire This will have the biggest impact on the country when we are not the prime reserve currency And I'm not arguing.
		I don't argue in this that we have to be the prime reserve currency, but the post-war international rules-based order Was set up in the foundational element of that was the dollar as the prime reserve currency tons of benefits come with it But tremendous obligations and that have been that's been abused, but that's a topic for another debate The fact are, we're it, and if we get off it now with our debt, we're like Argentina.
		It will be so bad, it will be incomprehensible.
		And that's why our enemies are trying to do it, and we're playing into their hands.
		The elites are playing into their hands.
		That's what this entire de-dollarization movement, is that now, many of these bricks, they'll say, hey, the MAGA movement may have to take, the deplorables may have to suck on that, because they're citizens of the United States, but we don't.
		And we're going to come up with an alternative.
		But, our enemies are also in this stirring the pot.
		The KGB in Moscow, and the CCP led by the Chinese Communist Party, trying to take down the dollar.
		Now, what we're countering, and this is what Richard said yesterday, the radical, and this goes back to this hearing today, we see the chaos and anarchy of the Democratic Party and the Uniparty.
		They're the agents of chaos, they're the agents of anarchy.
		You see this in Austin, where you have a Secretary of Defense you can't fine for a week.
		They're the agents of chaos.
		What they're doing now, and this is very important, we froze the assets of the Russians, which I don't think we did to the Germans or Imperial Japan or World War II.
		We froze their assets, which are really treasury bills, etc.
		They keep in banks throughout the world to be able, in the United States, to be able to facilitate trade.
		Every nation has dollar reserves and they keep it normally in treasury, T-bills, T-notes, bonds.
		There's another thing to take that, we did this with the Persians, you know, you take that and you freeze it.
		But as you've seen, the Persians, over time, you know, this was Obama letting it go back to him.
		Now, I disagreed with that, but I never said steal it, take it, and give it to the Israelis, and that's what's happening with the Russians right now.
		They want to convert those bonds into dollars, into cash, and give it to the Ukrainians.
		Because on Capitol Hill, the MAGA movement stood up and said, no more, we're not funding the money laundering operation in Ukraine.
		In fact, Harnrell will be on here this afternoon, couldn't get him on tonight, but Zelensky, the polling for Zelensky, Zelensky's in a free fall in Ukraine, among Ukrainians, about trust and transparency and all of it.
		They don't trust the guy because he's not trustworthy.
		But we will break the dollar.
		We will break this system.
		If we take the Russians' money, convert it to dollars, those treasury bills, and then give it to the Ukrainians, 300 billion dollars, to fight this war, the entire system collapses.
		Nobody will want to own T-bills and T-bonds at the very time that we've got to sell these to fund the deficit.
		We've got ourselves in a box.
		By the way, Jake Sherman talking about boxers, he's saying Johnson's in a box because he's getting land blasted by other folks right now, even more than Jordan's guys, about the ability to get a CR.
		They say this guy's in a total box with no way out.
		So, folks, your emails, your calls, the engine room's telling me, they're hearing from Capitol Hill, it's having a massive impact.
unidentified		202-225-3121.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		One of the central parts of this, and they went and did a dog and pony show last week, so I had to get Todd Bensman up here because the New York Times, everybody's been putting out all kinds of pieces and articles about it.
		Bensman, I know you're like me.
		You support going down there if it's meaningful.
		And if they had made a commitment on the border while they had everybody down there, and these were a lot of moderates that had never been, to actually say, if you don't shut down the border, We are going to shut down the government.
		We're not going to give you any funding until you do this.
		That would be meaningful.
		That's not, at least where it appears it's gone.
		They got back up to Capitol Hill and it just turned out more performative.
		Overnight, or over the last 48 hours, Ecuador is in a major civil war.
		It's the government and the people versus the cartels.
		That's one of the frontline nations.
		It's going to explode.
		You're going to see an explosion coming up through the southern border that's incomprehensible, even worse than it is today.
		So, Benzeman, tell me where we are.
		We got the impeachment of Mallorca starting.
		You got this massive budget fight.
		There are people saying not one penny until you shut the border.
		Where do you think we are right now?
todd bensman ▲ ● ▼		Well, first of all, just I'll point out that we took in about 45,000 Ecuadorians.
		Last year and we're flying them in now from Ecuador directly into U.S.
		airports, but that's another novel.
		We are in official silly season now.
		This is the campaign.
		We've entered the campaign season with immigration, illegal immigration over the southern border, the collapse of the southern border as an issue that is right up there with inflation.
		It is right up there.
		Maybe some polls show that it's even ranks higher than the inflation issue.
		And so you're starting to see big delegations going down to the border and on the Republican side.
		And then you see articles like this in the New York Times, which should be viewed as Democratic Party talking points for the campaign.
		This article right here is classic.
		Bait-and-switch kind of stuff where okay.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
unidentified		Hold on.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hang on.
		Hang on.
		Hold on.
		Hold it Let's read because we have a huge podcast and radio audience They can't see the visuals and if you want to see him go to the war room get the email every day But read the headline because this is the New York Times puts this out.
todd bensman ▲ ● ▼		It's like a solution read the headline How to fix America's immigration crisis and so what follows is a mix of kind of tough sounding policies for the Democrats that they're losing.
		They are losing a ton of Democrats over the border, especially in the big American cities.
		So they have to sound a little bit tough.
		But like, for example, they'll say, you know, we need to do remain in Mexico.
		And then in the next sentence, they'll say, after we make Mexico safe.
		So they give themselves this massive exit strategy.
		We have to do a Marshall Plan for Mexico that might take 30 years before we can then declare Mexico safe enough for people to make asylum claims, and they're just patently ridiculous.
		Look for a lot of that kind of bait-and-switch stuff.
		They say things in this article, again, we have to address root causes in these failed states.
		Again, Marshall Plan Uh, rebuilding state, rebuilding states, uh, to make them people not want to, uh, come to the United States and cross the border illegally.
		Uh, they talk about, we have to increase funding for more border patrol, more everybody down there, more badges and guns down there.
		But they don't mention that in their view, these tools would be used to facilitate the flow into the country faster.
		Not to block stop and deter and in fact not one time anywhere in this article Is the word deportation mentioned or detention or the use of those tools?
		by law they never One time mentioned why this is happening They mentioned the three W's who what and where for one of the three years?
		But they never say why?
		And if you don't say why, you can't find a real solution to the problem.
		You can only come up with these fake escape hatch riddled solutions if you're not saying why this happened.
		And the reason this happened is because we're letting everyone in.
		We're letting everyone in.
		It's just that simple.
		When you let everyone in, more come.
		It's just not a complicated thing, but this article says this is an incredibly complex issue, so watch out for those kind of talking points.
		Whenever you hear that the border is a very complex issue, you know you're being had, you're being rolled.
		This is a great piece.
		It's silly season.
		It's for the Democratic Party campaign.
		It's for all the candidates out there.
		Watch out for this.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		But it's to confuse you.
		It's to confuse you.
		I want to go to a couple of things where I've got you.
		I've got about five minutes.
		Number one, you've seen in Boston, the governor of Massachusetts is asking people to take illegal alien invaders into their home because they can't house them.
		In New York overnight, they removed students from New York public schools to put invader children, the children of the invaders, into their sanctuary city.
		I think 3,200 of them in different schools.
		Is this their new tactic?
		This is what happened in the revolution, the housing of British troops.
		Is now the government going to step in on a local basis and start forcing Well, it's making headlines in all of these cities because it just can't be avoided.
todd bensman ▲ ● ▼		The mayors of these big cities and the governors, too, have to come up with the funding and they have to come up with the solutions to get them off the streets and outside of the news cameras.
		Really, the main motivating force here is like, God, let's get them away from the TV cameras because we're going to lose a base, constituent base for the Democratic Party to the Republicans over this issue.
		We've already seen black communities in Chicago and New York say, we're voting Republicans totally this time over this.
		I'm in the process of doing some analysis of polls in those cities on this issue.
		So I think really what's going to happen is I wouldn't be surprised if they just, you know, force the housing into continually force people into housing situations that are going to alienate their base supporters.
		And probably bring lawsuits and litigation, anything to get them outside of the television news lens.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is going to be intense.
		I want to go to this, the power of this audience.
		The power of you that are listening or watching this, the power of you and the power of your agency when you get engaged and you make phone calls.
		Langford, nobody picked this up the other day, except for the War Room, but Langford in this negotiation for the supplemental, remember as big a debacle as the bill is, they got a side pocket where they're trying to get $100 billion to Ukraine, basically $60 or $80 billion to Ukraine with quote unquote some optics on the border.
		Thune just came out and said, hey, look, here's the reality.
		There's so many guys dug in now on H.R.
		2, on getting all of it, that I don't know if we can put the supplement for it.
		Thune just said that, just on Twitter.
		But Langford the other day, two days ago, said, look, we're going to take a week off on this thing.
		It's nowhere.
		Because the sticking point with the White House Wait for it, it's Todd Bensman's humanitarian parole.
		Now, who'd have ever thought anybody would ever heard of humanitarian parole?
		The audience calling up senators and called congressmen made, and Langford said, kind of humanitarian parole for us is non-negotiable now.
		And the White House told me it's absolutely non-negotiable, that they must keep that power.
		Todd Bensman, the nation owes this to you.
		Explain once again, we got about a minute, humanitarian parole and why is this such a big sticking point for Biden's White House?
todd bensman ▲ ● ▼		These programs, humanitarian parole programs, allow people who planned fully to illegally cross the border to schedule crossings ahead of time while they're still south of the border on a phone app, CBP One.
		So they've been bringing in hundreds of thousands, at least 500,000 through September of last year, probably now 700,000 through the land ports, right over the bridges.
		On these scheduled appointments and they keep expanding and expanding the New York Times piece that I just mentioned Talks about this.
		Oh, we need to We need to start to limit this but not for a long time yet because it's a good thing, too but but they also talk about how Useful it is that we that this is a really good thing this parole thing is According to the Times, it was only for four nationalities, but my FOIA requests show that there are 101 different nationalities.
		They're letting everybody and anyone apply from all over the world to come in under these things.
		The New York Times wouldn't say that.
		So this is a hidden program.
		You can't see these people, and I had to sue on a FOIA request to get any data at all, 500,000.
		Trust me, this is going to be, they're still expanding that thing.
		And the Republicans, people that don't want those numbers are absolutely right to target that thing.
		They have to target things.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Just hang over a second.
		We're taking a break.
		I'll bring you back.
		He nailed one of the cons and scams they got, and it's a big one.

		I just want to repeat something.
		The New York Times, the paper of record says, I don't know, there's three or four of these nations that are available for the scam of humanitarian parole, where they can do it in the dark of night in Mexico and then ship them into the United States.
		And even that, even crossing the bridges now, the reason it's so backed up is because of this effort.

		So now we have an invasion, and Todd Benzman has been the guy that's reported this from day one, and warned America about this, warned America about it.

		That's impossible, bro.
		It's not going to happen.
		That's like a week away.
		It's nine days away.
