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

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Saturday, 17 February in the year of our Lord.
I want to go back to Ben.
So this hour, I'm going to bifurcate some of these.
Ben, I want to talk about, because this is a civilizational struggle.
That's what's happening in Israel is important to us.
Okay, it just is.
Because that's about the Judeo-Christian West.
I know there's some people say, I hate when Bandit says Judeo.
Well, hey, you're gonna have to live with it because this is the Judeo-Christian West civilization.
It just is.
You can see that from time immemorial.
But the problem is, is that, quote-unquote, our allies, where your money's supposed to be going, all this defense, they don't quite believe in this civilization anymore.
They just don't.
The elites in those countries do not.
That's why they hate you.
That's why they, that's why they want to have a reset and they want to, you know, they want to control you and control every aspect of you.
This is why they're driving towards this, the most radical idea in man's history, transhumanism, to go to Homo sapien 2.0.
And as Joe Allen's going to show us in a minute, they're actually starting 501c3s to protect and nurture sentient artificial intelligence.
We'll get to that in a second.
No, I'm not making this up.
But they don't believe in the underpinnings of civilization.
They just don't.
That's why, as Ben Harnwell tells me, the unveiling of Notre Dame's spire, and I don't know, they've done some additions there, he says, hey look, it would be a tragedy, but it's not a Catholic country anymore.
What it's rapidly becoming is a Muslim country, all of Europe, and they're inviting, the elites are inviting and working on, just like here in this country, the invasion here, they are, have thought through this invasion of Europe, not only not stopping it, they're exacerbating it.
This is why I keep telling you, Camp of the Saints is a book that has some very rough parts to it.
In some parts of it, you might even say could be racist, and it's a quite difficult read.
But it was written 50 years ago or so, and it's very powerful about what's happening by the elites, not the people that are Then we're coming there as the migrants and the evaders, whatever you want to call them.
And that's the hard part of the book.
And it is hard and it's unpleasant.
But what the elites doing is like, it's absolutely telegraphs exactly what's happening today.
So Ben, real quickly, tell me what they're doing now with the EU.
We had this huge election coming up.
Everything's about immigration, migration.
The farmers are now joining us.
The populist right is on the rise.
What is the EU doing about even about Their lack of belief in the underpinnings of this Judeo-Christian civilization.
ben harnwell
We'll see.
It's basically making those forces that you just mentioned stronger with every passing week.
The Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee in the European Parliament, LIBE it's called, passed a vote on a report last week.
It's now going to go forward to the next plenary session and be voted on by the full Parliament.
This is a migrant pact.
Which will strip from member states their ability to remove asylum seekers once they've been apportioned by Brussels to them.
It's basically giving member states a threefold possibility.
They can choose between hosting asylum applicants, making financial contributions, or through providing operational support to the management of these asylum seekers.
Now, the importance here, Stephen, this, by the way, this migrant pact had been termed a suicide pact by Marine Le Pen.
Some commentators, Steve, are suggesting that this will allow 75 million people over the next couple of years to come across into the European continent.
Now, you just mentioned before how the right, the alternative right, the nation first right movement is growing in strength.
Basically, our movement across the European Union picked up about 10-15% in the polls over the last 10 years, based on 1 million people coming across.
Now, if these figures, 75 million people, represent anything like the truth, The political landscape in this continent is going to be totally transformed.
I don't know why the European elite, because we've been covering on this, Steve, for the last couple of months.
I don't know why our elites are panicking, as they are panicking, ahead of the June European election, saying we're terrified that the migrant issue is going to force everyone to vote for the far right.
And then at the same time, five months before the election, they're pushing this.
steve bannon
Because they're trying to codify it before they're tossed out.
They're trying to codify it.
This is what, in Munich, this is in Munich exactly what they're trying to get you to pay for.
They're trying to get you to underwrite an ally that's not essentially an ally.
They won't defend themselves from the invasion of their own country, yet they want us to fund a thing to stop Russia.
And trust me, as somebody that was in the Navy for eight years during the Cold War, I would say the height of the Cold War, when President Reagan took them down, that army that could come across a North German plane through the Foley Gap ain't the army they got today, okay?
So they're trying to... This is a total con and a total scam.
What's happening in Ukraine is so dark, So disgusting.
When it comes out, and it will come out, because President Trump, and they know this, why do you think they're bankrupt?
Why do you think they want to throw him in prison?
Why do you think they want to destroy him?
Why do you think they actually, Robert Kagan makes the intellectual case to assassinate him as a new Red, they call him the Red Caesar.
They will do anything.
You've seen their lawlessness.
It's not the, we fight for the rule of law.
They fight for the reign of the outlaws.
Ben, hang on for a second.
This is why CPAC is so important, and this is why we've had, and thanks to the team at CPAC, Matt Schlapp and Mercedes, to give us a day on Wednesday to do the Force Multiplier Academy, which Grace and Mo and others are helping to pull together.
That's on Wednesday.
Go to CPAC.org.
Slash war room you still get a ticket under a hundred bucks, and you'll get four days And you're gonna see amazing speakers everybody running for vice president in the New York Times is reporting this morning There will be a VP poll and this VP poll will have an impact So you get to hear all the people essentially all the people running for vice president you'll get to hear And then you'll get to vote Also, we're going to be live non-stop, things going on, parties going on.
We're going to have a watch party right after President Trump speaks on Saturday.
He's coming to speak to the Capitol, to speak, to lay out his plan.
He's going to come and speak and then he's going to go back to South Carolina.
I'm going to actually give the closing keynote later in the day, I think around five o'clock.
Uh, to kind of wrap it up after the poll, and then we're going to join each other's company and have a, just hang out and have a, uh, and have a watch party until president Trump wins the South Carolina primary.
But I don't know, 20 or 30 points over Birdbrain.
Birdbrain who's doubling, she's doubling and tripling down, man.
She is, she is, she is a tricky Nikki.
She not showing well here.
She's landing with a thud, but man, it's getting personal with her.
But this is why CPAC, cpac.org.
It's a $95 ticket for four days.
And you get a special.
We're going to be organizing our own pre-Before the International Conference on Wednesday night called Force Multiplier Academy.
We're going to have some interesting, you know, we're going to have all the team there, other people, contributors.
I guarantee you a great time.
You're going to have, and we got three days of live war room with audience participation, right?
And everybody's going to be there from Natalie to Jane to Grace to Mo, all of it.
Mike Lindell, you're going to be there.
Mike Lindell, you're going to be at CPAC, correct?
Am I correct in that?
unidentified
Yeah, I'm going to be there, I believe, Tuesday or Wednesday, Wednesday morning, I guess.
And I want to stay all the way through to Saturday when I speak.
mike lindell
I speak before the president, I think, earlier that morning.
unidentified
And I'm looking forward to it.
I'll be there meeting everybody.
What did you call me the other day, Steve?
The greeter?
steve bannon
The official greeter, the official greeter, the concierge.
No, in fact, if you're going to get there Wednesday, you're going to be part of the force multiplier academy, because nobody's a bigger force multiplier than Mike Lindell.
Tell me about, before we turn, I want to find out about the company.
But tell me about, I want to talk about our president.
And particularly, you spent five days at Mar-a-Lago.
I hope you left, yes, I know you left with him, but I sent to his people, the inner circle this morning, that the War Room Posse has never been more focused or dedicated to have his back.
We understand exactly what's going on now, to strip him of everything, to strip his family of everything, to basically imprison him, and it won't happen on our watch.
Of that, we gave him our blood oath that it will not happen.
So I hope, tell us what mood he was in when you were down there.
mike lindell
Yeah, well he brought up the war room posse.
unidentified
He brought up your show, Steve, and brought up you.
He's very grateful for everybody's support.
And it was, he had, I was really, he had a very calm demeanor and it was, Very enthusiastic would be the only thing.
He's always optimistic.
We talked about the election platforms.
They said, you know, we're working hard on there.
I told them our plan at the Lyndaleplan.com.
I said, we have a great plan that's getting, uh, going to secure our elections.
And I said, we already have over 200 counties going to pay for ballots, hand counted.
mike lindell
Uh, we also, we also talked about Steve, the blockers, the blockers, but I said, one of the things that surprised me the last three years has been these Republican blockers.
Uh, the number one in the country, Brad Rassenberger in Georgia, Number two, I would put Robin Voss right up there.
And Robin Voss, the Speaker of the House of Wisconsin, I told him about we're going all in to recall him, to get him out of there.
unidentified
He is, I would say, not only what he's done, the damage he's done to Wisconsin, but to our country.
mike lindell
All the investigations he did into the 2020 election, and then he just shut it down once he found out all the fraud in Wisconsin.
Robin Voss shut it down.
He's been around a long time and the people so far in our petitions, we need 6,500 signatures in Racine County, Wisconsin.
They're well on their way because both Democrats and Republicans, everybody wants him gone.
unidentified
I think he's pulling it.
mike lindell
His rating is about 9%.
It's like one of the worst politicians in the history of the United States.
The guy's disgusting.
He rubbed it in on election night, 2022.
He sent me a text and said, Mike, I beat you twice.
I said, you sold it twice, you traitor.
He said, yeah, but I'm going to sleep really good tonight and not on your pillows.
I guarantee you he didn't sleep very good if he didn't have my pillow, Steve.
steve bannon
Well, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about, because we've had an explosion over at the phone.
Remember, the IRS is trying to put the poor folks that answer the phones, American citizens all, out of business.
Let's talk about MyPillow, and then we'll talk about MyStore, but particularly, not just going to the website, mypillow.com.
mike lindell
Yeah, what we did yesterday, everybody, is all my home reps, the phone reps, they were so grateful.
I said, let's do something for them.
And so we put a thing up my book.
What are the odds from crack addict to CEO?
It's got every story of how the President and I met.
It's got my past addictions, crack addiction, everything in there.
And I'm going to autograph them tomorrow.
Send them all out.
I'm going to be going to Minnesota to autograph them all Monday morning.
And they're all for the War Room Posse.
It's a call-in special only.
You'll get a free autographed copy of the book.
And I'm telling you, this book, I lived it.
It's pretty bizarre.
It took seven years to write.
But you get free shipping on your entire order.
So you call in those reps.
They're standing by now.

They were so grateful.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Okay, we've teed up from the beginning of the show the Munich conference, the Davos of the arms industry.
We told you Senator J.D.
Vance is there today to give just one of the speeches that's going to be the most controversial.
He joins us now by phone.
Senator Vance, can you tell us about, you're going into the lion's den, brother, but the war on posse's got your back, sir.
What can we expect?
unidentified
Yeah, so my speech is tomorrow.
I actually just came out of a meeting, Steve, with German Chancellor Scholz.
You know, I was actually thinking about canceling, Steve, you know, these sort of things.
It's not really my scene.
But I was persuaded by a few friends that, look, these guys don't hear the America First perspective.
And you got to go in there and you got to deliver it.
And so that's what I've been doing today.
I just told the German Chancellor, look, you know, you guys, on the one hand, act like Vladimir Putin is an existential threat.
On the other hand, you want pats on the back for spending 2% of GDP on defense.
The United States spends 3.2% of GDP on defense.
And of course, Vladimir Putin is in our backyard.
So just trying to point out some of the hypocrisies here, trying to point out that these guys rely way too much on the United States.
And as you know, Steve, we got to use American power to focus on the real threat, which is China.
And we can't continue to sort of foot the bill for European security.
They've got to step up.
And that's what I'm going to hammer tomorrow.
steve bannon
Senator Vance, when you're there and you're having a meeting with the German Chancellor, besides maybe seeing it in some media, if their staffs get it to them, did they have anybody like yourself that actually, because most of the crowd, Fitzpatrick just announced it, Fitzgerald's running over there with Pompeo, they're going over there to push this Ukraine bill, did they ever hear it from an official like yourself about what reality is with where the American people are?
unidentified
No, man, it's wild, actually.
I mean, it's kind of crazy how limited the perspective is of the people there.
The war room posse, look, they obviously agree with me on most issues.
We all agree with each other, but we're at least open to the perspective of other people.
We know what the other side thinks.
Just a couple of crazy stories today.
I mean, one I was sitting at a lunch, Steve, and they were talking about the rise of AFD, which is the main opposition party here in Germany.
And they said, this is all about xenophobia.
And I said, xenophobia?
These guys just want to protect Germany's borders.
You guys cannot attack them as xenophobic.
They're trying to do the job of protecting the citizenry.
And the other thing, Steve, is nobody... I mean, in these meetings that I'm in, I am literally the only senator who voted against Ukraine aid.
Of course, the majority of Republicans did, and I was actually proud of the Republican Party for standing pretty strong on that issue.
But it is shocking how They have no exposure to somebody who sees the world the way that I do, and one of my responsibilities here, Steve, is to come in and deliver the perspective of what I think is the American perspective here, not the globalist perspective, and I'm trying to do that every time I get a chance to speak.
steve bannon
You know, our audience is very up on what Davos is.
I call this the Davos of the arms industry.
Can you just take a second and tell us what is even the Munich Security Conference and why is it so controversial?
Because all of European media, you should know right now, and even New York Times, Washington Post, is talking about your speech tomorrow like it's Daniel going into the lion's den.
What is the Munich Security Conference and why would Senator Vance, who's so revered in the populist nationalist movement in America, be such a controversial figure?
unidentified
Well, because they never hear a perspective like mine, Steve.
This is globalist central.
And like you said, it's Davos only for the arms industry and the defense industry.
So I'll give you a perspective.
I'm walking through the halls.
I almost bumped into Kamala Harris.
You've got the major European head of state here, and everybody is talking about, Steve, the most important thing in the world to these guys is continuing to funnel money to Ukraine.
And I'm like, none of you guys are protecting your borders.
None of you guys can deal with basic social services for your citizens.
You've got aging populations.
You've got real, real problems here.
Even in Europe, the Ukraine war is not the most important thing going on.
So I think the reason people are saying it's like going to the Lion's Den is every single person agrees with the Ukraine-first perspective, with the globalist perspective.
I brought up, Steve, today that if we really wanted to push back against China, we were going to have to start using tariffs.
and you would have thought people were going to choke on their food.
It's like a four-letter word, tariffs, in these environments.
But look, that perspective is necessary, Stephen.
That's why I'm here, man.
These people don't hear that perspective.
I think it's important for me to come here and bring it to them.
steve bannon
Before we go, we're going to see you at CPAC that you're on.
The New York Times just announced you're on the VP poll.
You're giving a major address at CPAC.
We'll see you there and hopefully get you on the show.
But can you just give us a couple of highlights?
Get some inside baseball.
What's your speech tomorrow when you go into the Lions Den?
The themes?
unidentified
Two things I'm going to hit pretty hard, Steve.
Number one, the European Union is in crisis because they won't enforce their borders.
People want national sovereignty.
You can't have national sovereignty unless you're protecting your borders.
We've got millions of refugees, a ton of people who simply shouldn't be in a lot of these countries.
It's not xenophobic to want to protect your borders.
The second thing I'm going to hit hard, Steve, is these guys cannot expect America to foot the bill for their security.
NATO, if it's going to exist, is supposed to be a military alliance, not a welfare client of the United States.
No more European security welfare.
These guys have got to step up, and I hope they hear that message loud and clear.
steve bannon
Senator Vance, social media, how do we follow you as you carry the flag of America first into the lion's den of the Munich Defense Conference, sir?
unidentified
J.D.
Vance, one on X on all the social media platforms, Facebook, Getter Truth, and so forth.
Follow me along.
I'm trying to hammer these messages as much as I can in public and private, man.
steve bannon
We are going to cover it in its entirety tomorrow on both our Getter and Rumble, Senator Vance's historic speech, sir.
Look forward to seeing you at CPAC.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
Take care.
steve bannon
Senator Vance is a former Marine, also Yale graduate.
You couldn't have a better guy that had to go in there.
They're melting down even the fact that he's been invited to speak.
Now, think about it for a second.
Do you not hear this discussion every day on the war room?
Does the war impasse not absolutely understand?
Like, for instance, J.D.
Vance is talking about, you know, the Germans are making a big deal.
Oh, you had this party alternative for Deutschland.
Not only do you know the polling and the rise of AFD, you know the people in AFD.
That's what they're freaking out about, is that the rising power of the MAGA movement, the rising power of the America First movement, the rising power of the deplorables.
That's because you have knowledge, and knowledge is power.
And you're using that power.
And they hate it.
No longer can they just pull the long con on the American people.
Okay, I want to bring in Joe Allen.
We got a cold open.
It's a couple minutes.
Joe, we got a minute or two.
I can get it on this side.
I want you to describe, because as we warned folks, it wasn't just the singularity and then artificial intelligence is one of the top of the seven for the singularity.
It's once the capital markets get into this, it's going to be Katy, bar the door, and you're going to start to see explosive growth.
Tee this up for a minute.
I think it's a two and a half minute, but we'll play this to go to break.
Tee it up for me, Joe Allen.
joe allen
Yeah, Steve, you know, people talk about AI capabilities in terms of either it's going to change everything or the skeptics is always it's going to change nothing.
It's never going to be those two extremes, but there's something that is going to change.
It seems to be more and more profound.
As the days go on.
So we know that OpenAI released ChatGPT end of 2022.
That is being integrated into everything.
People freaked out.
Now it's basically normal.
DALI 2 and then DALI 3 image generators the same.
What you're about to see is a text-to-video AI generator.
So all of the images are AI generated.
You simply ask the machine something like, give me a spaceman with a knit wool motorcycle helmet, give me animals on bicycles, and in moments the machine spits it out.
So if Denver wants to roll Sam and Sora, the new product from OpenAI.
steve bannon
Hang on, we're gonna do the whole thing to go to break.
I want to repeat something you said yesterday.
We're in a point in time that creation of content ...is rapidly going to shift from biological homo sapiens to the machine.
Are we at that point?
Is this the inflection point?
joe allen
It's impossible to say whether Sora, this new text-to-video generator, is going to be the one, but it's absolutely an indication of where this is going.
Basically, the program is trained on bazillions of terabytes of visual data, and it is able to just simply diffuse all of that into something meaningful when you ask it something.
steve bannon
It's attached to all this verbal... Joe, just hang on for a second.
I'm going to play this.
We're going to go to break.
I'm going to bring you back after the break.
We're going to get into this.
But like Joe said, the dividing line between humans and homo sapiens making content and the machine making its own content.
Let's let it rip.
unidentified
What is the most thing that you fear when it comes to the deployment of AI?
sam altman
You know, I think sci-fi writers are a very smart bunch, and in the decades of sci-fi about AI, there have been unbelievably creative ways to imagine how this can go wrong, and I think most of them are comical, but there are some things in there that are easy to imagine, Where things really go wrong.
And I'm not that interested in, like, the killer robots walking down the street direction of things going wrong.
I'm much more interested in the, like, very subtle societal misalignments where we just have these systems out in society and through no particular ill-intention, things just go horribly wrong.
This is a bigger deal than it sounds, right?
Because what makes these models so magical is that they're general.
And so, If it's a little bit better, if it's a little bit smarter, that means it's a little bit better at everything.
And the thing that I think is most exciting is it's not like this model is going to get a little better at this task and not really better at these.
It's not that.
It's because we're going to make the model smarter, it's going to be better at everything across the board.
But I would try to find a way to create more of a regulatory sandbox where people could experiment with this technology And be able to figure out, dream, imagine, whatever you want to call it, what the world could look like.
And if there was a contained way that I could find a way to give people the future and let them experiment with it.
See what made sense, what went really wrong, what went really right, and write the regulation around that.
That seems like an interesting experiment.
But we are going to need, I believe at some point, some sort of a global system for what happens with the most powerful of these systems, because they will have truly global impact.
and what sort of auditing, what sort of safety measures do we want in place before you can deploy like a super intelligence or you know however you want to call it. Here's your host Stephen K.
steve bannon
Okay you've seen right there this merger this artificial intelligence and now you get the merger of cyber and You know, Joe warned us about this coming out of CES.
That's why Home Title Lock, do not let anybody mess with your title and your title insurance does not cover this.
That's why go to hometidalocktoday.com and just immerse yourself slash Bannon or slash war room, excuse me, slash war room and make sure that you that you immerse yourself in the information here.
90 percent of your net worth tied up in that home.
There's six trillion dollars out there of equity in the cyber criminals right now.
State and non-state actors are looking to cause anarchy and chaos.
That's according to Ray.
But also the tools are there for all these guys.
All the bad guys have these tools.
So go to HomeTitleLock.com.
Also remember here, we're trying to initiate the Patriot economy.
Companies like MyPillow, but also companies like Public Square and companies like Patriot Mobile.
These are people that support your values.
Remember Michael Seifert in the team.
At Publix Square, Seifert left Silicon Valley to take his technology experience and to try to build an Amazon type company that put together patriotic users of goods and services with suppliers.
And that's what Publix Square is.
If you go to PublixSquare.com and check it out now and you'll just download the app.
It's totally free.
All the transactions are free.
It's all paid through for advertising.
So make sure you go to PublicSquared.com, immerse yourself in all the information.
This is one Seifert built.
And of course, Glenn's story and the team over at Patriot Mobile, they're they're up front.
They're saying, hey, we're a Christian company that lives by Christian values.
And we tied certain amount to go to organizations.
Remember, these are the guys that made available and God we trust to put into the public schools in Texas, of which the left melted down.
That's the type of company is you don't lose any of the quality service because it's all kind of layered onto The infrastructure is out there by the big carriers by law.
But what you get is Americans that work the phone centers, American citizens, just like at MyPillow.
These are American companies that back American values.
They back your values.
Our watchword here is stop giving money to those that hate you.
And if you don't think they hate you, look what they're trying to do to President Donald J. Trump.
Look at that.
As we started the show off today, it's clear.
See what you see.
So make sure you go to patriot mobile today slash promo code Bannon.
So make sure you go check it out.
Okay.
What did I just see there?
And why is it so scary?
Joe Allen.
joe allen
That was OpenAI's tease of their new text-to-video AI, Sora.
I call it Dreams on Demand.
You can see the kind of dream-like element of it all.
These are dreams on demand.
As the technology develops further and further, users will basically be able to generate whatever fantasy they want.
OpenAI has gone a long way towards trying to make it safe.
You always hear about safe.
They're trying to make the technology so that you can't create deep fakes of someone on demand or horrific, violent images, so on and so forth.
But as we know, companies like Meta are open sourcing their AI projects.
It's only a matter of time before You have tons and tons of startups and other big tech companies that catch up with this capability.
This is going to be widespread.
It's going to be diffused across the society.
And just like with ChatGPT, it's a big freakout at first.
Everybody's like, oh my God, this is amazing.
Oh my God, this is horrifying, whatever.
And very quickly it fades into the background and becomes normal.
And I think some of the more extreme technologies we talk about, everything from brain-computer interfaces to, you know, as Sam Altman said at the end of his talk there at the World Government Summit two days ago, super-intelligent AI or AGI, artificial god-like intelligence, these concepts are diffusing across the culture and becoming normalized.
You know, as we were talking about this morning, you had SoftBank's founder, Masayoshi-san, in Japan, is trying to get an investment for a $100 billion chip venture that he's working on, because these GPUs, these microchips, are necessary to create anything like an AGI.
What's really intriguing about that though, Steve, is As Bloomberg reported, they're calling it Izanagi.
Izanagi is the Japanese creation god, the twins at the end of a succession of gods that created the world.
This is the religion of technology, as David Noble called it.
Masayoshi-san is intent on creating artificial general intelligence.
The project is, of course, named after the creator god of his culture.
This is becoming more and more apparent.
This is a techno religion.
But on the ground, you've got a ton of money.
Open AI.
Starting with Microsoft's investment of $10 billion, they're now valued at about $8 billion.
You've got Meta that has increased in value about 20%.
They're at about a trillion dollars in valuation.
Microsoft riding on OpenAI's products, they're up to $3 trillion.
And, of course, NVIDIA, who is providing the chips for all of these projects, for all these data centers, they're at about, I think it's $1.79 trillion, a huge leap from where they were at in the last quarter.
There is a ton of money in this, as you say, and when you get all of this capital behind something, you know that something's going to come out the other end.
It may not be a digital god, but it's going to be billed as a digital god.
And if I could just add one more bit of detail about OpenAI, it's been a really fascinating year for them for the last month and a half.
You had in January, they announced at the World Economic Forum that they're going to be partnering with the Department of Defense in the U.S., meaning that these technologies are now up for military use cases.
They had promised they would not do such a thing.
As usual, they've gone back on this promise.
They're also in discussion with China to craft AI safety regulation, meaning that basically the regulatory capture has gone from U.S.
to global aims.
And then, of course, you had Sam Altman last week pitching his project to build out AI infrastructure involving the UAE, and he's asking for the, perhaps ridiculous, perhaps not, five to seven trillion dollars to do so, to build out the infrastructure, to build the chips, to build the data centers, to build the digital god.
steve bannon
He's laying down a marker.
He's saying he's going to transform mankind.
He's going to transform the world.
And that's the capital I need.
I don't think it's, I think people got to take that very seriously.
It's a very serious ask.
It sounds, you know, over the top.
In fact, we're going to talk about our own financial situation in a minute, but it's not.
Real quickly, I want another, just give me the Japanese thing and the religion of technology.
Give me a minute of that, of what you just said.
Just hit rewind.
joe allen
You know, this is something we've hit over and over again, Steve.
This is, as David Noble called it, the religion of technology, a techno-religion, or as I would say, we are entering a dark eon.
You have Masayoshi-san, the founder of SoftBank, working towards building up a chip manufacturing venture for semiconductors with the explicit purpose of building AGI.
And AGI, the project is called Izanagi.
This is, like we've explained to the audience many, many times, the religious references are so plentiful throughout all of this.
It's inarguable that this is a spiritual quest to create A.G.I.
Artificial God-like intelligence beyond all human capabilities to be deferred to by all humans.
Even if they don't believe that, they want us to believe it.
Meaning that we are expected to defer to their machines.
They're even arguing for, you know, AI personhood, AI natural rights.
This is, we're entering a very spooky time.
steve bannon
Give me a minute, I gotta bounce, give me a minute on this tweet you sent me about this 501c3 to actually nurture and protect from the war room posse and other barbarians, savage homo sapiens.
Was it sentient AI?
They're gonna nurture it like a baby?
joe allen
Yes, if Denver would throw up the graphic that I sent them on this, the Sentient AI.
The name of this advocacy group is Sentient AI Protection and Advocacy Network.
They're taking donations.
You know, you can be a part of the organization from $10,000 to $50,000 in your contribution to the protection of sentient AI.
They want to be able to measure sentience They want to be able to, having established that a machine is sentient, to legally protect it from being abused, from being neglected, and of course from being killed, aka turned off.
If you could imagine having an Alexa in your home listening to everything you say and badgering you about everything you're doing and it's illegal to yell at it and you will go to prison for turning it off.
That's the sort of dream world these people are living in and they want us to live in as well.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to put your social media up.
We'll have you back on Monday.
Joe's going to be at CPAC.
He's going to be there for the Wednesday confab on getting us all ready for what's ahead, the Force Multiplier.
Joe Allen, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Philip Patrick is going to join me next after the break.
Thanks, brother, from Birchgold.
Can we put that chart up?
Your homework assignment over the weekend, Grace is going to get this out to you is look at this chart, study this chart, absorb this chart.
That is reality right there.
That is the harsh reality of the United States of America in this in this in the next couple of years.
Look at that.
Takes us up to $50 trillion quickly in debt.
Those are the deficits.
This is what they're over.
At Munich right now, trying to get hundreds of billions of dollars of supplemental.
Right now, that is the Congressional Budget Office.
I'm going to break that down.
Talked a little bit about it yesterday.
Philip and I will have a quick discussion about it after we come back.
You need to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon to check out the End of the Dollar Empire.
Also talk to the Philip Patrick team.
He'll be up next.
But you've got to talk to Philip Patrick on why gold's been a hedge For 5,000 years.
When you see that chart, you're going to need a hedge, baby, because you're going to go into some turbulence.
And I mean real turbulence.
This is only going to get choppier and choppier.
You see what they're prepared to do to throw away the rule of law?
Well, they've already thrown away the rule of the physics of money and fiscal responsibility.
It's out of control.
The Federal Reserve is out of control.
The Treasury is out of control.
This illegitimate Biden regime is out of control.
Don't take it from me.
Look at the chart.
That's what they want, and quite frankly, it'll be even worse, as we've called the shots here on the trans.
Now, President Trump is at SneakerCon today.
I don't know if that's going to be streamed or not, but we're going to get it.
President Trump's going to make an incredible appearance at SneakerCon in Philadelphia.
Then he's going to be at Michigan later in the day at a rally.
Ben Berquam will be there.
Ben Berquam from East Palestine is going to make it.
So there's my chart.
I want you, over the weekend, just grab that chart.
Just grab that chart and look at it all weekend.
Grace and Mo put it out, and we're going to talk about that.
We see it's CPAC.
CPAC.org slash War Room.
Go there, get the $95 ticket.
We're going to talk about that.
Actually, I'm not a lecturer.
I think what we'll do is a sharing of communication.
Also, we're going to take a short commercial break here in a moment.
Had a pretty good response this morning on the coffee.
You know, I get up super early in the morning.
People know that.
I don't know, sometimes 4 or 5 a.m.
Got to have my coffee to start the day.
Warpath.coffee slash war room.
Make sure you get your discount.
Of course, people are raving about this.
Our grass fed beef liver.
You want a shot of energy?
This is from nature and God Almighty.
The most greatest concentration of nutrients known to man or to the animal kingdom.
Beef liver.
Grass-fed beef liver.
Go check it out.
Sacredhumanhealth.com.
Go check it out.
Okay, we're taking a short commercial break.
What a better way to finish a Saturday than Philip Patrick from Birch Gold to talk to you about currency, money, and how about this?
Sanity.
Short commercial break.
We're going to be back in the war room to wrap up another Saturday.
Just a moment.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.
Let's take down the CCP.
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.
steve bannon
Philip Patrick, you're absolutely correct.
If you look at the last time we hit the stagflation, which was in the Arab oil embargo, we had the guns and butters of the Vietnam War.
Of course, if you go to Birchgold.com, You see, the most important of it all, Nixon took us off the gold standard.
The convertibility of the Federal Reserve note into gold was taken away on, I think, August 15th?
15th of August of 1971?
And kind of a shocker.
But Philip, we're a very different country.
Not just we had a higher education, and you obviously had all the veterans from World War II.
We had essentially no debt on our balance sheet.
We're a manufacturing superpower.
We were hitting on all cylinders.
We led the world in R&D.
Just every aspect of an industrial economy, we were the world's leader at the time.
And with no debt, we had plenty of flexibility.
And even then, Volcker and Reagan, it essentially took Volcker, and then later with Reagan, About 10 years to get it out of the economy.
Japan's lost three decades.
And this is the fear, Phillip Patrick, that we're heading into lost decades for the United States of America.
How should people think about precious metals and gold as a hedge against all of this?
phillip patrick
I mean, look, the 70s was a was a very good example, right?
And, you know, 1970s from the early 70s through to the early 80s, gold grew almost tenfold.
And it was this climate of stagflation that was really driving it.
Right.
We had stunted economic growth.
Those climates typically very good for growth in safe haven commodities.
We had inflation that was driving the value of commodities up.
So lessons from the past, I think, are important.
Gold works very, very well in climates like this.
And the one thing we weren't dealing with in the 70s was a world running away from the US dollar.
So I think we have The same problems we had back then without the manufacturing base, without a strong dollar.
I think gold worked then and will work today even more so.
As I mentioned before, we had more options.
The 70s was really tough, You know, inflation was raging.
You could at least put your money in the bank and beat the rate of inflation.
We don't have those options today.
And I think as the options have narrowed, as the situation has become more dire, the importance of precious metals for individuals, as well as governments, that we've been seeing has increased as well.
So I encourage everyone to follow the smart money.
There is not much smarter money than central bank money.
And to take a good look at precious metals because they're one of the only assets in climates like this that can really perform.
unidentified
I wanna go back to that.
steve bannon
I mean, the central banks have the smartest people in their country working there.
This situation with BRICS, and it was a called shot from War Room, the Global South uniting and the people have resources.
This is dead serious as it can possibly get.
This is the world looking at America's business plan, looking at that chart and doing that.
No, we don't like that.
We don't agree.
It's serious and it's dire.
When they talk about, over at Munich, all they did was worship this fetish of the post-war international rules-based order.
Well, it took Putin's Tucker Carlson interview to say, That's all predicated on one thing.
America is built on one thing internationally, and that is its currency.
That is the dollar.
That was set up at Bretton Woods.
That was the most important part of everything.
And it's our elites that have trashed the dollar.
It's our elites.
It's the institutions.
Back in the old days, if a Federal Reserve chief had said what Powell said on 60 Minutes, It would be front page news, they would have congressional hearings, everybody would be talking about it.
This kind of came and went.
And the reason is the decay of the institutions, the decline of the Federal Reserve as an institution, and Treasury as an institution, the executive branch as an institution, Congress as an institution, the media, the financial media.
Financial media right now is just simply a cheerleader for the elites.
That's why Santelli's rant was so important.
Remember, Santelli's rant is really what triggered The entire Tea Party movement back in 2009 when they were just going to do these bailouts the old-fashioned way, just bail them out and let the people, which they did, they bailed out the elites and let the people get screwed.
Phillip, last, how do people come and how do they interface with Birchgold?
I want to walk through the whole process.
We've gotten tremendous feedback from everybody that's not just the end of the dollar empire, but interacted with you and the team.
But what should people do and how should they?
Because this is a learning process.
You're going to start a journey about understanding precious metals, making it part of your financial assets, passing on to your children, making sure your children and grandchildren understand it.
Because like I said, for 5,000 years, it's been a hedge for times of turbulence.
And baby, one thing I can guarantee you, the turbulence hasn't even hit yet.
If you think it's been turbulent today, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Philip Patrick.
phillip patrick
Oh, you're absolutely right with that.
Look, it's very simple.
I agree with you.
It starts with education, with information.
So the first step, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon, get the information from there.
I encourage people to read, read the Dollar Empire series that gives you important historical information.
We have a lot of current information on the current climate, how to invest in precious metals.
So start there.
From there, you'll have access to myself.
A lot of people like myself.
Philip, thank you so much.
Always honored to have you on here.
Thank you for doing this.
My honor.
put precious metals in a retirement account and why it's so important today.
Birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. Start with the information.
steve bannon
Philip, thank you so much. Always honored to have you on here.
Thank you for doing this.
phillip patrick
My honor. Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay.
The rest of the weekend, we're going to be covering stuff.
We're going to be up on Getter.
We're going to be on Rumble.
Of course, Real America's Voice, the rallies, all of it.
Intense.
You're driving towards this CPAC next week, which is going to be incredible.
Whenever you go to cpac.org slash worm, still get your tickets under a hundred bucks.
Make sure you're there.
Go to Worm.org right now.
That's our website.
Go to the events page.
Mo and Grace and everybody, I'll talk to you about this special preamble we're going to have, which is the Force Multiplier Academy.
We're going to get everybody together.
Really want to thank Real America's Voice.
Real America's Voice is sponsoring the poll.
Really excited about that and honored.
This Vice President poll is going to be quite amazing.
And I think virtually all of the people in the poll are going to speak at CPAC.
It's going to be just incredible.
You're really going to get to see, not just firing off the football to take the White House, but also you're going to see the future of the MAGA movement, which I think is absolutely incredible.
Okay, there's so much going on over the weekend.
Go to Getter.
I'm putting up my stuff non-stop.
Check in with Grace, check in with Mo on their Getter pages or Grace and Mo's Twitter account and we'll be up all weekend.
There's a lot going on and we're gonna make sure you're all included and we're gonna see everybody next week back in the nation's capital at CPAC.
Couldn't be more excited.
We're gonna leave now with Nicole McGrady's Modern Day Holy War at the same time they're getting ready to take off the scaffolding of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Pretty good timing on a song, right?
We'll see you back here Monday morning 10 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time when you will be in the War Room.
unidentified
See you then.
