What he wants to do is politicize the civil service, remove the civil service's ability to protect itself from the politicians and make them all political appointees. | |
| We already have a little bit of a problem that too many of our people in the federal government are political appointees. | ||
| It's crazy the number. | ||
| He wants to make it a patronage. | ||
| He's taking it back to like the night... | ||
| The thesis is that Republicans have had a systemic attack on recent history, and they're trying to bully our memories into submission, all as part of an effort to rewrite recent history to benefit Republican politics. | ||
| Because as far as they're concerned, events from January 6th to the Trump-Russia scandal to the federal response to COVID, all those instances are just such a dramatic failure for them that they feel it's necessary to rewrite recent history. | ||
| And then the effects of that are dramatic. | ||
| It affects everything from legislation to elections to even to This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Democracy rests on a foundation of shared knowledge. | ||
| And when that knowledge is corrupted on purpose, bipartisan, the corrosive effects are dramatic. | ||

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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Dave Bradsett in with the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Democracy, that's the buzzword for today's show. | ||
| You're hearing it from the left, but you've heard Mike Benz give a tour de force on how they're degrading that term, how they're using that term. | ||
| We have a great guest on. | ||
| We're going to go around the horn on that democracy concept and how it's been abused. | ||
| And so, Jack Posobiec, welcome to the show this morning. | ||
| The crowd favorite on all things international. | ||
| We had Eric Trump on the other day on the campaign side, and he said issues one, two, and three are economics, economics, economics. | ||
| But that's all tied in with this globalist assault on the country, right? | ||
| The border immigration, the endless wars, the woken weaponized is being inflicted upon us. | ||
| And so, give us the breaking news in Brazil you've been reporting on and covering, and, you know, connect the dots, as Steve would say. | ||
| Welcome, Jack. | ||
| Well, Dave, thanks so much for having me on. | ||
| So, folks, you need to understand. | ||
| So, the Brazilian Supreme Court judge, and people have to understand that Brazil's Supreme Court operates very differently than the way our Supreme Court does. | ||
| It's completely leftist, and it set the conditions to steal the election from the people of Brazil a couple years ago, and then install Lula, the criminal, in power. Steve was here, he campaigned and explained all | ||
| of that, but Lula was a guy, full-on communist, that they pulled out of prison, put him | ||
| back on the ballot, then the communist-controlled Supreme Court basically set | ||
| the conditions so that he would win the election. In any case, that year Bolsonaro brought | ||
| up against them was struck down. | ||
| This was all done, by the way, with the backing of the United States State Department | ||
| and elements of what Darren Beatty would call the globalist American empire. | ||
| So they set up this massive stolen election down in Brazil because Bolsonaro, remember, he was the Trump of the tropics. | ||
| He was the guy that was pushing the populist national agenda down there in South America. | ||
| And by the way, Millet, right next door, is basically doing the same thing in Argentina. | ||
| So I would imagine that he would be the next one in the crosshairs. | ||
| But they have a problem because X, formerly known as Twitter, is a huge platform in Brazil and had been a huge platform prior to this. | ||
| Now, when Bolsonaro got on, he was getting tons of support and he was using X to create these massive public rallies that he was going up there and saying, we need to we need to go out and we need to demonstrate in the streets. | ||
| We need to put things up. | ||
| And then what did they do? | ||
| Oh, you guys might remember this one. | ||
| The Supreme Court, this guy, this total psychopath, by the way, Alexandro de Moraes, and I don't know if Denver has got a photo of this guy, and he looks like a character from the Harry Potter series with these capes that he wears. | ||
| He's like the Witch of the West down there, the Witch of the South, I guess. | ||
| And he declared it all to be an insurrection. | ||
| Oh, where have I heard that one before? | ||
| So he declares it an insurrection and color revolution style as we've seen the regime use in place after place after place. | ||
| But then he has another problem because Bolsonaro supporters are still on X and X refuses to comply because in Brazil, X is considered a foreign social media platform. | ||
| So he goes to Elon Musk and says, I will arrest your representatives in Brazil, I will fine them, I will shut them down if you do not begin censorship operations on X specifically. | ||
| Elon refuses. | ||
| Then he says, I will start fining you if you do not run censorship operations. | ||
| again, these ban, he said, ban the accounts, take down everyone who's supporting Bolsonaro, | ||
| take down anyone who's been associated with these, and oh, by the way, a number of secret orders | ||
| that were told, secret orders, that haven't even been released yet. | ||
| If anyone's read about any communist regime, I know somebody who wrote a book on those, | ||
| you would not be surprised at all, because this is exactly what communist regimes do. | ||
| So basically, he was ordering Elon to give over the data of anyone or any account anonymously | ||
| who participated in one of these rallies, so that they could peel off the user data, | ||
| find that person, and go arrest them and throw them in jail. | ||
| So the locking up of dissidents, the locking up of freedom fighters, the locking up of the faithful. | ||
| Elon refuses, refuses, refuses. | ||
| First, what they do is they order him to take down Starlink, So first they ban Starlink, totally separate entity by the way, but it doesn't matter because when the government wants to put screws to you, they're going to. | ||
| So then they take down Starlink and they say, Elon, we will do this to X if you don't comply. | ||
| Elon says, no, again, I'm not going to comply. | ||
| So now they've taken down X throughout all of Brazil and there's now a fine of something like $9,000 if you use | ||
| because a lot of people know how to use VPNs and look, you know, war room and human events, we've got | ||
| VPN sponsors, etc. So you know, they work. But they're saying if you're caught using a VPN to | ||
| access x or any other social media platform to spread this stuff, you will be fined $9,000 per instance | ||
| for quote unquote, technological subterfuge to get around what they call lawful court orders. | ||
| This is what they do, folks. | ||
| They infiltrate, they seize, and then they purge. | ||
| And we laid this out in On Humans that you infiltrate the institutions. | ||
| So the institution puts out an unlawful order, but they claim it is a lawful order. | ||
| Then they seize all the means of power, and then they systematically begin purging the country of any institution, any individual, any | ||
| movement that they declare to be a suppressive, that they declare to be a subversive, | ||
| that they declare to be a dissident. They go after you, they'll go | ||
| after your family, they go after your business. This is what happens and oh by the way | ||
| why is all this happening now? I'll tell you why it's happening now. | ||
| Because these guys are joined at the hip with the US regime, they're joined at the | ||
| hip with the leftists that have done the same thing in our government, | ||
| okay this is key, through the State Department and it is a threat. | ||
| It is an open threat to Elon Musk that if you do not commit to censorship operations in the 2024 U.S. | ||
| presidential election, then guess what? | ||
| This is what we are going to do to you. | ||
| It is an open threat, not only to Elon Musk, but also to Donald Trump because of the true social entity, to Getter, to Instagram, TikTok, all the rest of it, that this is what will be done. | ||
| You know, Clarence Thomas and Mike Davis like to remind us of the dead chicken strategy, and that's exactly what they're attempting to do with Elon Musk right now. | ||
| Yeah, unreal. | ||
| That's some dot connection. | ||
| Steve Bannon looking over the horizon with Jack. | ||
| And just a great team we have here, right? | ||
| Raheem and Harnwell, the whole team working on these issues. | ||
| Mike Benzon, and you just dropped the color revolution term, right? | ||
| And you've been covering that for years. | ||
| And so in Ukraine, I just read, Headlines today, the CIA appears to be in on US strategy and holding ground in Russia. | ||
| And so in order to save democracy, of course, the United States pulled up a coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014 to install democracy. | ||
| Whoa, that sounds great. | ||
| Except in the meantime, they shut down. | ||
| There's no elections. | ||
| There's not a free press. | ||
| There's repression. | ||
| They're going after the religious folks. | ||
| This is happening around the world. | ||
| And as you made a link, it's happening in this country right now. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon is in prison. | ||
| Navarro got out. | ||
| They can put Trump in prison anytime. | ||
| This week, the Facebook, Zuckerberg, admits openly, you reported on it about three years | ||
| ago, I think, and we covered it broadly on the War Room, the collusion between the federal | ||
| government putting pressure on the Magnificent Seven, right? | ||
| Those firms are as wealthy as all the European stock market combined, our Magnificent Seven firms. | ||
| That's what the American people, we the people, are fighting. | ||
| So if it feels heavy on us, it is. | ||
| But Jack, maybe you want to connect those dots. | ||
| And then where's the leadership, you know, in addition to President Trump, who's out on these issues? | ||
| Where's the U.S. | ||
| Senate? | ||
| They're supposed to be the foreign policy heavyweights. | ||
| And I'm not hearing anything. | ||
| So the way this is being run, you mentioned a color revolution, and this is a series of seemingly popular uprisings or movements that are then orchestrated, planned, and used in regimes that are considered quote-unquote hostile to globalist | ||
| interests, and then those protests and movements will be used to topple | ||
| governments. | ||
| When those protests and movements don't work, then they will move to other means. | ||
| So this is what you're seeing in Brazil. | ||
| You mentioned Ukraine. | ||
| Ten years ago, that was used to throw out a democratically elected president. | ||
| Remember, in the name of democracy, they threw out a democratically elected president. | ||
| Now they have a guy who is Yanukovych. | ||
| Then they have a guy named Zelensky, who's there right now, although his term ended all the way back in May. | ||
| So his term ended three months ago, yet he's still in office because of what? | ||
| Oh, martial law. | ||
| So he's in office because of martial law. | ||
| And by the way, Numerous members of the regime have mentioned again and again that this has never been about Ukraine, that it has always been about trying to affect regime change in Russia. | ||
| They'll say, well, maybe if we so this this explains why they would commit what would seem like to anyone else a potential suicide move of actually attempting to invade Russia, especially as we're moving into the fall. | ||
| Winter is coming not long away. | ||
| And they'll say, why would you why would you commit? | ||
| You don't have the troops. | ||
| You just lost an F-16 a couple of days ago, the first F-16 that was lost. | ||
| And of course, the the Ukrainian say it was just a malfunction. | ||
| It was just a malfunction. | ||
| It was definitely not taken out by Russians. | ||
| OK, we'll see. | ||
| And they explain, though, that it has nothing to do with actually achieving Ukrainian victory or securing Ukrainian peace, which they could have done all the way back in March of 2022. | ||
| But then they sent Boris Johnson over there to scuttle the peace talks that were happening. | ||
| down that were being negotiated by Erdogan in Istanbul. No, what it's about | ||
| is trying to affect regime change in Russia. They're trying to get Putin out of office, | ||
| they're trying to set this up. They want it to create a wider potential civil war | ||
| that affects the Russian government. Russia understands this and they're | ||
| responding as if they are threatened. Because they are. | ||
| Yeah, and a while back, I think, a picture of Victoria Nuland meeting with the heads of big oil, big energy in the United States over there, over access issues to the Black Sea. | ||
| And so, and there's rare earth minerals in Ukraine, etc. | ||
| So, what else underlies this? | ||
| It's usually always economic power. | ||
| There used to be, you know, it's funny, there used to be There was this oil and natural gas company over in Ukraine that was really interested, and the U.S. | ||
| was working with them, and they started funding the Atlantic Council, which is a NATO think tank, and Mike Benz went through all this chapter and verse on Tucker. | ||
| And they wanted to ingratiate themselves with the United States, and so they appointed somebody to their board to try to get some special—oh, that's right, it was Hunter Biden, the son of the vice president. | ||
| Right. | ||
| explains to everyone how it all works. First you first you knock over the government, then | ||
| you install your people within the resource extraction entities of the new government. | ||
| This is what Burisma would be. And then the deals get signed with the US regime. So the | ||
| deals then would be for the oil, the natural gas rights, etc. As you're talking because | ||
| the great the grand prize in all of this is about the energy sales to Europe. If you can, | ||
| this is also where Nord Stream 2 comes in and why Nord Stream 2 was targeted for destruction. | ||
| Because whoever controls the energy sales to Europe, because they've completely destroyed | ||
| themselves from an energy perspective. Germany is blowing up their nuclear plants. | ||
| They just did a couple of days ago. | ||
| They destroyed the cooling towers. | ||
| And so, when you understand that this is a prize worth trillions of dollars, and they will stop at nothing, and they do not care how many bodies lie in their wake in order to achieve their ends. | ||
| Yeah, fantastic. | ||
| We're going to hold you over for the break, Jack. | ||
| But, you know, this is all kind of on the shoulders of President Trump, right? | ||
| America first. | ||
| People across the mainstream used to think, you know, that's a trendy tagline. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Putting America first is a serious, substantial foreign policy regime in order to save this country. | ||
| And you've just heard Jack connect just some of the dots. | ||
| And so where is the U.S. | ||
| Senate? | ||
| Where's the Speaker of the House on these issues? | ||
| There's down ballot races that are not looking hot right now because the Republicans are not putting forward a clear agenda. | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| And so we're going to be back after the break with the great Jack Posobiec. | ||
| To talk about sharing the burden of messaging and what the House and Senate could be doing to help save this republic. | ||
| These are serious issues. | ||
| No better guest than Jack. | ||
| In these crazy times, there is peace of mind in security. | ||
| Security for our country, security for our leaders, and security for our families. | ||
| But you're not financially secure if all your eggs are in one basket. | ||
| Gold and silver are an excellent way to diversify your savings. | ||
| They're a hedge against inflation. | ||

| 98 98 98 today. That's Bannon to the number 98 98 98. Back in the war room with Jack Posobiec | ||
| connecting all the dots. | ||
| Mike Benz in his latest Tucker interview made a very provocative statement, thesis, said there is no domestic agenda. | ||
| We don't have a domestic agenda because it's all being dwarfed. | ||
| I think there's even more on the Republican side. | ||
| So I think Jack has just been reporting on the connections between big media, Brazil, | ||
| the CIA, the cutouts, the color revolutions, connecting all those dots. | ||
| I think there's even more. | ||
| On the Republican side, we have rare unity right now on the border invasion, federal | ||
| government spending, deficit spending on woke and weaponized federal government, and then | ||
| endless wars. | ||
| And so Jack, how is the border invasion linked to Brazil, Elon Musk, et cetera? | ||
| I think you've got some great new reporting on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Well Dave, it's actually very clear. | ||
| So if you go and look at what Elon's been talking about most recently in the past week or so, a few people, myself, Senator Mike Lee, and in drips and drabs, occasionally Speaker Johnson will say things about this, and Elon has come in and given a full-throated support to the effort to attach the SAVE Act To the September spending bill. | ||
| So September begins tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| September begins tomorrow. | ||
| The federal government runs out of money on September 30th. | ||
| That means if they want this through, they need to get the sign off on the house. | ||
| Where do spending bills originate, boys and girls? | ||
| And Dave Ratt knows this one. | ||
| You don't even need to be a Liberty University student to know this one. | ||
| This is in the house. | ||
| But I bet you that's on the final exam at Liberty University. | ||
| Other universities, not so much. | ||
| So Elon has said this is a fantastic idea. | ||
| Stop illegals from voting. | ||
| Create the shaping operation to put the forcing function of the SAVE Act in the spending bill. | ||
| Threaten to shut down the government over this. | ||
| I've been behind it. | ||
| Senator Mike Lee is behind it. | ||
| Mike Johnson has made a couple of statements to press about it, but we haven't seen anything public. | ||
| Mitch McConnell has said he's totally against this plan, but we know that the Democrats in the Senate are against it. | ||
| We know Biden is against it. | ||
| Who's for it? | ||
| Elon Musk is for it. | ||
| So the minute that Elon Musk came out for attaching the SAVE Act and using the threat of a federal shutdown, that's when the regime went absolutely too sweet against Elon. | ||
| They ratcheted everything up a notch. | ||
| They started banning Starlink. | ||
| They started banning Exxon in Brazil, said, we're going to come after you. | ||
| You need to stop doing this. | ||
| They're threatening Elon over this because the SAVE Act threatens them. | ||
| And don't forget, Brazil is where, and go talk to Ben Burquham, he knows this better than anyone, that Brazil is part of the origination of the rat lines. | ||
| This is down in the border triangle area, the border, remember even Kamala Harris has admitted this is the root causes, etc, etc. | ||
| It's all coming out through South America. | ||
| And so what do you need to do? | ||
| You have the SAVE Act. | ||
| This is what prevents the illegals from voting. | ||
| It creates the forcing function. | ||
| of setting conditions for victory in November. | ||
| That's what they're terrified about is the SAVE Act. | ||
| And yet Republicans in the House and the Senate have not made this the clarion call. | ||
| You should be banging the drums right now. | ||
| Folks, we have four weeks. | ||
| We can actually get this passed because we have real leverage right now. | ||
| And we all know that if Steve Bannon were outside of prison, if he were here right now, this is the number one thing he would be talking about. | ||
| And he and I have spoken over the, you know, ridiculous prison email system. | ||
| So Merrick Garland already knows about the idea. | ||
| And Steve says he supports this plan 110 percent. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But Jack, let me play devil's advocate with you, right? | ||
| We, you know, we're losing down ticket races already because we don't have any message. | ||
| And so why would you want to inject the negative message, which might risk our Republican majorities who are running on nothing right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| This seems to be a pattern. | ||
| Harris is running on nothing. | ||
| It's a Seinfeld show on nothing. | ||
| The House and the Senate have nothing to say about any major issues I've heard in public. | ||
| And so that's all sarcasm, and all politics are my own, but do you think this could unite the country? | ||
| I think the polling is 70-80% on this SAVE Act. | ||
| Why in the world wouldn't the Speaker run on this? | ||
| And that's exactly what I'm saying, is that you put that down there and you say this is a positive message, this is a message about election integrity, and here's what you do, by the way, here's what you do, you say, you take all the messaging that the Democrats put out from their DNC, which I attended because I infiltrated that thing, take all their messaging and say, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
| We're securing democracy. | ||
| Are you guys against securing democracy? | ||
| Are you guys against defending democracy? | ||
| We have to defend democracy because we have to make sure that foreigners and non-citizens don't interfere in our elections. | ||
| Surely you wouldn't be against interfering in democracy, would you guys? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That would send them in absolute knots. | ||
| And keep in mind that President Trump could drop this. | ||
| Think of this, what he could do, because he said to Monica Crowley the other day that | ||
| he totally supports this plan as well. | ||
| He could go to Kamala Harris at the debate in Philadelphia in just 10 days time and he | ||
| could jam her up on the stage by skipping whatever ridiculous question that George Slopidopoulos | ||
| asks and then turn to her and say, do you support the SAVE Act or do you want illegals | ||
| voting in our election? | ||
| Yes or no, Madam Vice President? | ||
| Answer the question. | ||
| the question and then just drill down on that. That would be an incredible moment at the debate. | ||
| I would implore President Trump to use this time and that gives you 20 days for her to have to | ||
| agree before the American people and if she doesn't then we'll know who's on the side of | ||
| democracy and who's not. Use their own tactics against them. | ||
| You got it. Perfect. | ||
| Perfect, Jack. | ||
| I think you got a new book coming out, How Do People Get to You, and everybody, buy Jack Posobiec's books. | ||
| Know better on the globalist threat to this country. | ||
| Jack, how did they get you? | ||
| Well, I wanted to I want to take this time to also point out that there's a reason that all this is happening and something that understands the true to understand the true nature of our Republic and the true nature of our regime. | ||
| We must understand that they will do anything possible to take out Donald Trump and they will take out anyone else who stands in their way. | ||
| And so that's why I'm putting together and have put together a new book called Bulletproof, how a shot meant for Donald Trump took out Joe Biden. | ||
| If you think that the official narrative on the story of Trump's assassination is true, then you have not been paying attention. | ||
| We walk you through chapter and verse. | ||
| What has gone on, the lies that were told by FBI Director Wray, the lies that have been told by the original Secret Service head, the lies that are being told by the current Secret Service head, we're going to walk you through the questions that aren't answered. | ||
| And we have even done independent investigations on the ground in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as well as Butler, Pennsylvania, stuff that I have not even released yet. | ||
| There's even information out here, quite frankly, that we think that if we put this out, that people are going to be coming for me and my family. | ||
| That's what they did to Trump. | ||
| That's what they did to Biden. | ||
| We are going to get to the bottom of this. | ||
| And this book, by the way, will be out October 22nd. | ||
| Prior to the election. | ||
| So it is incumbent on everyone to get this and understand the true nature of what we're up against. | ||
| This is not left and right. | ||
| This is regime warfare that we are in right now. | ||
| We've embarked on regime warfare, and we must fight as dissidents against that. | ||
| That's why you're seeing Democrats, liberals, centrists, all the rest of it, join up with President Trump now. | ||
| RFK, by the way, this is something that we called for, the Commission on Assassinations. | ||
| Now he's on board. | ||
| You put President Trump Right. | ||
| Thanks for fighting for the country, Jack. | ||
| Thanks for being on The War Room. | ||
| Everybody loves you. | ||

|
Keep it up. | |
| on his father and his uncle, but also on J-13. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Thanks for fighting for the country, Jack. | ||
| Thanks for being on the war room. | ||
| Everybody loves you. | ||
| Keep it up. | ||
| God bless, Dave. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| All right, next up, and we're going to hold him over the break, Hans von Spakovsky, Heritage Foundation author of the SAVE Act. | ||
| Hans, why don't you just give us an overview of how that bill came together? | ||
| Very briefly, we got about two minutes left, and then polling, you know, are the American people behind this thing? | ||
| I would guess they are. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room, Hans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks. | |
| Look, Chip Roy, as you know, sponsored this bill because he knows aliens are registering and voting across the country. | ||
| And in some places like California, they're encouraging it. | ||
| They want it to happen. | ||
| Yep, just unbelievable. | ||
| Give us, give the audience a sense of what exactly is in the bill. | ||
| How does it work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The SAVE Act simply says that under the National Voter Registration Act, it's amended and states have to require proof of citizenship when you register to vote. | |
| The left has been fighting that for years. | ||
| You know, Jack mentioned Senator Lee. | ||
| I was in a hearing in the Senate not too long ago. | ||
| He asked every one of the witnesses, do you believe aliens should be able to vote in U.S. | ||
| elections? | ||
| I said no. | ||
| The other Republican witness said no. | ||
| All the liberal witnesses didn't want to answer the question. | ||
| And that tells you everything you need to know about this. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's right. | ||
| And we've had some greats, you know, Rosemary Jenks and all the great immigration folks we have on the show. | ||
| And they say it's already a felony. | ||
| Is that just in certain states or is it federal law right now for illegals to vote in in our federal elections? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, it's a felony under federal law. | |
| And of course, that's the constant answer Democrats get. | ||
| Well, it's already a felony. | ||
| We don't need to do anything else. | ||
| Well, I guess that means all our federal prisons must be empty. | ||
| Because fear of fear of the law is keeping all these criminals and other people from violating the law. | ||
| Yeah, what's the reluctance, if this is so popular, of the Speaker in the Senate? | ||
| I haven't heard the leader speaking out in favor of this. | ||
| About 15 seconds till break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the one thing the Speaker did do is he actually released a report, his office did on this, and the importance of this. | |
| But I think pushing it into the spending bill is the only way it'll ever get through. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All right, back in the War Room, Hans von Spakovsky, Heritage Foundation, author of the SAVE Act. | ||

| Back in the war room with the great Hans von Spakovsky, Heritage Foundation, with Chip Roy in the house pushing the SAVE Act. | ||
| Hans, what other connections you want to make between this and the political, all political views are always my own, but what are the implications of the SAVE Act for elections? | ||
| The speaker seems to be scared of it. | ||
| They're not going all in on a 70 or 80% issue, which seems strange to me. | ||
| The Senate is equally silent. | ||
| What's your view on the politics of this SAVE Act? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The politics is overwhelmingly positive. | |
| Americans don't believe aliens should be voting, and that goes across all political lines. | ||
| It doesn't matter whether people are Democrats, independents, or Republicans. | ||
| You know, this is a good issue to push. | ||
| Plus it's fundamentally unfair to Americans when aliens are registering and voting elections | ||
| because it dilutes their vote. | ||
| And for folks who say it isn't happening, sorry. | ||
| We not only have had recent convictions, but in Texas they just removed 6,500 aliens. | ||
| Aliens from the rolls just by checking DMV records. | ||
| Virginia just removed 6,300. | ||
| And remember, not everybody registers through DMV. | ||
| So that tells us there's a lot bigger problem out there. | ||
| And you just have to wonder, why are Democrats uniformly against it? | ||
| Well, I'll tell you why. | ||
| They want aliens registering. | ||
| They want aliens voting because they believe it will help them in elections. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's right, Hans. | ||
| Also, give us, in closing, let folks know how to get you. | ||
| But, you know, I've been fighting this fight. | ||
| I ran on this 10 years ago, right? | ||
| Back in the big Virginia election. | ||
| And it was before we knew there was a populist movement sitting there that was just fed up with this kind of stuff. | ||
| So it seems like we have majorities of the American people on this side of the football, and it's populist. | ||
| It's like you said, it's Democrat and Republicans, black, brown, blue-collar workers. | ||
| Why in the world doesn't this issue take off? | ||
| The immigration thing. | ||
| I think inflation is still number one in the economy. | ||
| This thing is sitting there too, I think. | ||
| But why isn't it? | ||
| It seems like Americans should just be infuriated. | ||
| Why aren't they? | ||
| And why doesn't this just drive everyone to the polls? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, part of the problem is the propaganda of the left. | |
| You'll see one story after another in the mainstream press saying, oh, this isn't an issue. | ||
| What needs to happen is the conservative side needs to take the very specific examples of prosecutions of aliens who've registered voting, the surveys. | ||
| Showing where they admit they're registered and they're voting and they need to make, we need to make a very big deal about this so the average American understands this is a current and growing problem the more aliens are let into the country across the southern border. | ||
| Yeah, thank Hans. | ||
| How do they get a hold of Hans and your great work? | ||

Great job. | |
| All right, we got another War Room regular on energy. | ||
| No one better than the great Dave Walsh. | ||
| Dave, welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Glad to have you on, brother. | ||
| And why don't you just... | ||
| Start off on the international. | ||
| I've been interested. | ||
| We had no wars going on four years ago. | ||
| Now we have at least four hotspots. | ||
| According to some analysts, we have 12 hotspots. | ||
| Firms don't seem to be pricing any of this into the stock market, the risk of this kind of thing. | ||
| These wars, you know, the Red Sea, Israel, Iran, Saudi's now in play. | ||
| They're off the petrodollar. | ||
| I mean, there's serious stuff going on around the globe. | ||
| How should those issues factor into our energy strategy as a country? | ||
| Well, we need to be all in energy. | ||
| We need to be drill, baby, drill. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| We need to frack, baby, frack. | ||
| We need to be able to export natural gas heavily to retain our importance on geopolitical matters. | ||
| Let me delve into that just for a quick moment. | ||
| I never said I'd ban fracking and I'm not going to ban fracking. | ||
| Kamala. | ||
| That's lawyer-speak. | ||
| It's clever-speak. | ||
| It's clever attorney-speak. | ||
| Clever attorney-speak is you say one very specific, hyper-specific thing, but you continue all of the policies of the administration that you've been the second in command of, which have been the following, to destroy demand for natural gas in this country. | ||
| So you never really have to ban fracking. | ||
| You simply destroy demand for it by doing the following. | ||
| set up incentives through the Biden IRA to win solar and battery storage only and biomass. | ||
| You block pipelines such as the Atlantic Pipeline, the Mountain Valley Pipeline. | ||
| You stifle any natural gas production on federal lands completely, which they've done. | ||
| You issue EPA policies calling for the cessation of large combined cycle plants which produce 41% of the nation's electricity by 2035 by making them non-economic, by making them carbon capture adoption or hydrogen fuel compatible, which can happen at $4 billion per power plant. | ||
| and then make that resource totally non-economic. | ||
| So at that time, they'll say, oh, look, gas is non-economic. | ||
| And then finally, when you look at this, you've got the same phenomenon with coal. | ||
| Coal production reduced in this country by about 80% over the last 50 years | ||
| as we've transitioned from coal to gas for power generation. | ||
| And there was never one announcement by any federal official on the cessation of coal mining. | ||
| They didn't need to do that. | ||
| The Dems went after it in 16 other ways to completely suppress and make impossible, | ||
| economically, demand for coal. | ||
| That's what they're going to continue to do. | ||
| That's what she's done in four years in the White House, sharing it with Biden. | ||
| She's going to continue. | ||
| So this is her lawyer speaking. | ||
| We're not going to ban fracking. | ||
| They don't need to. | ||
| They've got too many other tools at their disposal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Good. | ||
| So all that laundry list. | ||
| Go over your thesis statement on that first point you made. | ||
| Now we're going to go to a clip for 20 seconds. | ||
| But so what you're saying is on the fracking, she doesn't even have to go after it now because of what? | ||
| Just in a nutshell. | ||
| In a nutshell, why? | ||
| The collection of their policies on anti-federal land use for natural gas production, blocking pipeline transmission of it, oh, and then stepping in front of permits to build more LNG export facilities, which is all fracked gas converted to LNG, they've gotten in the way of that 16-month time out on issuing new permits to construct LNG export. | ||
| They can make any statements they want. | ||
| 350 billion of oil and gas we export to make ourselves politically important and sustain | ||
| a balance of trade. | ||
| So as they keep these policies in place, which they're going to double down on them, they | ||
| don't need to announce a cessation of fracking. | ||
| It's going to happen anyhow as they stifle demand for gas, which is a sin. | ||
| They can make any statements they want. | ||
| Let's do a 20 second clip here and you get your response on the flip side of it, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. | |
| And in 2019, you said, quote, there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. | ||
| Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Do you still want to ban fracking? | ||
| No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020. | ||
| Yeah, Dave, I'm sure you've seen that clip and others. | ||
| What's your gut response on the politics of these issues? | ||
| So she's lying. | ||
| She has said this explicitly. | ||
| But secondly, even if she holds to the lawyerly, attorney-like language that we will never ban fracking, they continue to aggressively support all policies about the cessation of using natural gas for anything. | ||
| Electrify everything. | ||
| Electrify stoves. | ||
| Electrify home heating. | ||
| Stop producing gas on federal lands. | ||
| Stop exporting it by the DOD, excuse me, the DOE shutting off permits to build new LNG terminals, which they've done now. | ||
| 16-month timeout on those. | ||
| And by forcing the shutdown of gas-fired power plants, which produce 41% of our electricity to begin with. | ||
| So with those policies underway, with her full support doubled down on and continued, there won't be any demand for gas because it will then be deemed, oh, it's simply too expensive to harvest. | ||
| You know, we shut off the federal lands capability of the escalating supply of it. | ||
| We've made it too expensive by additional EPA regulations on methane and propane emissions, which are coming, to make it impossible economically to harvest natural gas. | ||
| So they won't have to announce a cessation of fracking, which is now the dominant way of | ||
| producing it. | ||
| Sounds like a dirty thing, but it's the dominant clean way of producing it. | ||
| They won't have to announce a kibosh on that because they will have stifled demand for it | ||
| completely with all the other policies in place. Yeah, give us some sense of the magnitude of | ||
| these big pieces, right? Oil. | ||
| Oil, gas, the green stuff. | ||
| You know, I was in Congress. | ||
| It always comes down to money, power and control. | ||
| Every single issue, right? | ||
| Money, power, control. | ||
| We had pictures, right? | ||
| Ukraine, right? | ||
| Our CIA today, I just saw the headline. | ||
| We're going to park in Russia for a while. | ||
| They want access. | ||
| They got pictures of Victoria Nuland with the heads of very powerful U.S. | ||
| energy titans. | ||
| And so that certainly has an impact on our energy mix. | ||
| But what is the politics? | ||
| Why is the left just burying and getting rid of the equivalent of Saudi Arabia under the United States of America? | ||
| What could be bigger? | ||
| Why wouldn't they go with that and take all the benefits? | ||
| Why this Greenpeace? | ||
| Why is that so powerful politically for them? | ||
| It appears to be a convergence of the Chinese money now very involved in our politics through black packs and heavy influence. | ||
| In a, the Chinese have converted our power generation equipment supply that was about 2% China content only seven years ago to now 67% content of all power generation assets, refurbishments, upgrades, new equipment are emanating from China vis-a-vis solar panels and battery storage. | ||
| So they've co-opted that part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Say that again. | |
| Say that again. | ||
| What are those numbers? | ||
| How big are they? | ||
| Well, the U.S. | ||
| power generation market for equipment supply and upgrades was about $70 billion. | ||
| The China content of that 10 years ago was 1%. | ||
| It was nominal. | ||
| Now, it's about 70% between solar farms. | ||
| They supply 87% of the solar panels in the world. | ||
| This was my business, so I'm way involved in understanding that market. | ||
| 87% of the solar panels, 86% of the lithium-ion batteries for battery storage is supplied by China. | ||
| So they've co-opted about 70% now of the electric power generation equipment supply market in the United States already in only about six years. | ||
| So they're way behind this with BlackPak money. | ||
| And with support politically, and the unitedness and convergence of that party with their way of thinking about a whole variety of things, including controls over stifling the voices and censoring and the like that they're way into with the Chinese in convergence. | ||
| So I think that's important. | ||
| All the heads of the Democrat Party are now got China ties strong, right? | ||
| Biden, 30 million in checks to the Biden family. | ||
| Harris, China ties. | ||
| Waltz, 30 trips. | ||
| So we're starting to see it. | ||
| Dave Waltz, why don't you give us, you got the last minute, tell folks how to reach you and then if you want to conclude on any other China input, that'd be great. | ||
| Well, I'll give you your question on the materiality of this to the economy. | ||
| Just for example, in foreign trade, we have a billion trillion dollar trade deficit. | ||
| We export $2 trillion of goods and services. | ||
| Of the $2 trillion, $370 billion, the top four commodities are oil, gas, chemicals, and LNG are the top three of the top four exported commodities. | ||
| $370 billion a year. | ||
| And the Department of Energy, under this administration, has put a hold on more LNG export permits, which is going to, if they continue with this, raise the deficit. | ||
| Raise currency instability, raise the cost of the dollar, raise interest rates by abandoning our second largest export commodity, taking it off the table, which is LNG. | ||
| How material this is to the economy, it's 12% of the entire economy, energy. | ||
| How do they get you, Dave? | ||
| How do they get you? | ||
| Before we go to break, real quick. | ||
| I'm on Getter, at Dave Walsh Energy, through social, and on X also. | ||

| Back in the War Room with the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All prayers going out to Steve. | ||
| Hopefully something cracks there. | ||
| Peter Navarro gave us some promising news the other day, so hopefully that comes to bear. | ||
| And so we've got a great hero in Virginia politics, huge energy, national chairwoman. | ||
| She knows the local, the state, the federal. | ||
| Patti Lyman, welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Great to have you on. | ||
| Why don't you just start, do a tour de force, start at the top. | ||
| All political views are my own, but I'm just interviewing Patty. | ||
| At the top, with the presidential race, what's the energy level looking like? | ||
| It looks to me the polls are still good, and he won in 16 when they said he was 5 or 10 down. | ||
| That one I'm feeling pretty good about. | ||
| How are we looking on the presidential race? | ||
| Well, I want to start out and say that the energy is going to skyrocket the day that the Admiral was back sitting in that chair. | ||
| And I was very, very hopeful yesterday with what Peter reported. | ||
| So love you, Steve. | ||
| We miss you. | ||
| But the team's doing a fantastic job. | ||
| Dave, I'm telling you right now, I saw a quote yesterday from my longtime friend, Fr. | ||
| Frank Pavone, who started Priests for Life, addressing this issue of people picking apart this or picking apart that, about whatever candidate we have running at every level. | ||
| And he said this, it was very powerful. | ||
| He said, the house is on fire. | ||
| We have a choice between the people starting the fire or the ones who are going to put it out. | ||
| Period. | ||
| And it's a no-brainer. | ||
| I remember back in 2021 when we were working hard to win Virginia, and it was a little hard to get all the troops rallied. | ||
| And we had a major, major push starting in October, and we said, look, we're never going to survive as a state if we get four more years of Terry McAuliffe. | ||
| That is a non-starter. | ||
| We can't do that. | ||
| So it doesn't matter anymore. | ||
| We need to stop trying to correct our candidates, improve our candidates, do whatever it is we think can make them more to our liking. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| The house is on fire. | ||
| So I will say that the enthusiasm is extremely, extremely high. | ||
| I'm hearing that some of the Senate Republican candidates are not doing that well in their states. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| I don't know all the ins and outs of that, but everybody has to get out. | ||
| Of course, the big dog who is wagging the tail is President Trump. | ||
| To the extent that President Trump wins in Virginia, the down ballot will be fine. | ||
| It will absolutely be fine. | ||
| I'm concerned about that. | ||
| Republicans are not really big ticket splitters. | ||
| I was listening to Jack Posobiec talk yesterday about Pennsylvania and how there's a lot of people there, some of them Democrats, that are ticket splitters. | ||
| They'll vote for their Democrat congressman, but vote for the president. | ||
| But that's not really here. | ||
| Republicans, for the most part, will turn out for the entire ticket. | ||
| I want to say that what President Trump has been doing with these fireside chats has been absolutely stupendous. | ||
| I mean, I've been completely with President Trump since the end of 2015. | ||
| I've listened to every rally he's ever had. | ||
| But I am seeing a new side of our president. | ||
| It's a side that anyone and everyone can relate to. | ||
| And that's where we need to rally around. | ||
| Also, we need to put the personalities aside. | ||
| I've seen some problems with people, whether it's at the top or the bottom of the chain, people letting vendettas and petty feuds get in the way of what we're doing. | ||
| Pete Snyder, our friend, said, keep the main thing the main thing. | ||
| The main thing is keeping this country free. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hey, Patty, I want to ask you, you know, you just said, you know, the president's leading, right? | ||
| He's laid out. | ||
| There's great unity between the president, the RNC platform, the war room, Steve Bannon. | ||
| Our big three issues are the big three issues. | ||
| But what's missing is Mitch McConnell, the head of the Senate. | ||
| I have not heard one word They control all the money, right? | ||
| I was in Congress. | ||
| The most conservative folks, the grassroots folks, I got zero, right, for upholding free markets, the Constitution, and the Judeo-Christian tradition. | ||
| Quite a radical, you know, agenda. | ||
| And so, and the Speaker of the House, I don't know how he's doling stuff out, but I'm not hearing leadership on the messaging yet. | ||
| And so, what's your shout out to these, the leaders? | ||
| Because without their megaphone, our down ballots are going to get, they're going to be in stress test to the max. | ||
| They need to understand what the mission is, Dave, and the problem that we have when these central entities suck up all the money, whether it be a PAC, whether it be someone connected with the Senate, whatever, whether it be Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| I mean, look at all the money that he raised. | ||
| He used his money for vendettas. | ||
| I just read a story about it the other day. | ||
| He used his money for personal vendettas to get back at the people who held him accountable. | ||
| OK, we've had other situations where Republicans lost because one or two entities sucked up all the money. | ||
| And if that Republican did not mouth whatever liberal talking point the Republican PAC had that they wanted them to push on, whether it's on an economic issue or whether it's on abortion, if they didn't get on board with that, then they didn't get any money. | ||
| And Speaker Johnson needs to learn a lesson that we had to teach our prior chair at the RNC. | ||
| She was more concerned with her own comfort and with her friends getting contacts and getting | ||
| power than people winning, than pushing forward our Republican message. Speaker Johnson, you're | ||
| there to elect Republicans. | ||
| Forget who your buddies are. | ||
| Forget who your consultant friends are. | ||
| And by the way, please remove the corrupt staff that got Kevin McCarthy to where he got and get a staff of people who are America first. | ||
| Please, please, Speaker Johnson. | ||
| Patti Lyman preaching, preaching the Old Testament. | ||
| Thanks, Patti. | ||
| We're going to hold you over the break. | ||
| Thanks for being on. | ||
| We covered the federal, the downed ballot races. | ||
| We're going to be back. | ||
| What's the action items? | ||
| Action, action, action on the War Room. |
