| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||

|
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | |
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
| All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | ||
| War Room, Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Thursday, 5th of September, Anno Domini 2024, Hanwell here at the helm, filling in for Steve Bannon. | ||
| So as the campaign, both of them, roll on towards November the 5th, three months now to go. | ||
| It's clear that the campaign resources on both sides are being diverted towards Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. | ||
| We're going to drill down on those three states as the running theme, I think, throughout this hour, because it has a number of knock on consequences. | ||
| One of the realities is that those three states have an auto industry. | ||
| California, not so much. | ||
| And that's putting a lot of pressure on Kamala Harris, who in 2019 had sponsored a bill when she was still in the Senate for California to have all cars manufactured in America. | ||
| of totally emissions free by 2030, which is obviously music to the ears of Californians. | ||
| You're following this quite attentively for some time. | ||
| back of it. Now that Kamala Harris has presidential ambitions, reality is starting to bite. And | ||
| her campaign finds itself in difficulty with these three key, absolutely key swing states | ||
| for both sides. | ||
| Dave Walsh, now, good afternoon to you. You're following this quite attentively for some | ||
| time. Can you just say a few words? In how great difficulty is the Kamala Harris campaign | ||
| Now, I know Axios have been trying to get a clarification from the campaign on this because they've walked it back, but they're not officially saying that they're walking it back. | ||
| They're refusing to comment on this. | ||
| But I think it's an illustration that it realizes the consequences that what works, what is a populist tack in California could cost them quite heavily in the Midwest. | ||
| Yeah, Ben, on this topic and energy, both the trial balloons that have been floated up by the campaign, not her, not from her lips on either of these things, but on energy, guess what? | ||
| Oh, I'm not going to back ban fracking, which she has been solidly in support of banning for 10 years plus as a senator and as the vice president of the United States and then be on the EVs being mandated as she's a was a key official in California. | ||
| Very supportive of the 2035 elimination of any fossil burning vehicle, liquid fuel vehicle in California by then, which also spread to Virginia, by the way, has found now with voters, these are very unpopular positions, even on the Dem side, a large portion of voters Don't want to be mandated what kind of fuel vehicle that they must buy. | ||
| Wanted choice and fuel are against the massive inconvenience of the lack of charging stations. | ||
| People are fully aware of the 35,000, 25,000 to 35,000 euro or dollar battery liability. | ||
| One takes on owning one of these in terms of having to replace the battery. | ||
| In seven to ten years at a very, very high cost. | ||
| And then the high cost of the vehicles to begin with. | ||
| But now knowing fully that the elite governments here and in Europe have been trying to force a supply chain that is entirely Chinese on citizens in markets where car manufacturing is an essential industry for both union workers, automakers across North America, across Western Europe. | ||
| Car making is a big deal. | ||
| It's a big business. | ||
| Those industries cannot be capitulated to China, where, for example, how big this industry is in China, nine times larger, the Chinese owned enterprise of car making than Elon Musk's Tesla. | ||
| They're nine times more manufacturing capacity of end to end EVs. | ||
| Their goal is to bring the entire car into Europe and the entire car into the U.S. | ||
| Consumers have wised up to this. | ||
| They realize what the game is here. | ||
| The government was talking about doing this with no plan whatsoever to deal with that basic fact, nor the fact of the lack of electrification in place to fuel these. | ||
| We don't have enough electricity to fuel these. | ||
| People are aware of that, too, because of the part-time intermittent solar and wind resources now dominating the new equipment supply and electricity generation being so part-time. | ||
| We don't have the energy. | ||
| to support a transition to EVs here. | ||
| So for all these reasons, demand is beginning to wane. | ||
| 33% or so last year in Europe, down to 11% growth this year. | ||
| So Volvo has dropped back, BMW before, Mercedes before, scaled back their plans to introduce these across their fleets. | ||
| Over here, Ford Motor, most specifically, and Stellantis have scaled way, scaled back their production investment plans for EVs. | ||
| So the consumers are voting on this. | ||
| And the voters, I think, are attentive as well, especially when they have jobs based on the auto industry in the Midwest. | ||
| Let's just dig in. | ||
| I think it would be helpful to do it here. | ||
| Let's dig in. | ||
| The then Senator Harris's policy positions. | ||
| So in 2019, because people need to know that even though the campaign is evading going on the record here, these are her policy positions. | ||
| In 2019, she co-sponsored the Zero Emissions Act, which would require By 2040, at 100% of passenger vehicle sales in the US, I released no greenhouse gases. | ||
| That act didn't pass. | ||
| But then in 2020, she returned to the theme, this time pushing 100% zero emission vehicles by 2035. | ||
| So this is something, when her ambitions were uniquely focused on California, that she was extremely passionate about. | ||
| And I think it just is an illustration that different areas of America have different priorities, radically different priorities. | ||
| If you're a Democrat, even though I know the point that this is unpopular even with Democrats, with some Democrats, but I guess I get how a California Democrat Might try and run on something like this. | ||
| Unfortunately, as I was saying, it's not a one-size-fits-all that can be tried across the union. | ||
| How long, Dave Walsh, you're an energy expert here, how long do you think the Harris campaign can evade going on the record as to whether it still supports this zero emissions mandate and whether it would do so under a Harris administration? | ||
| Well, her campaign has attempted to come out while she's parading through Minnesota, but more importantly, Michigan, car country, Ohio, car country, Pennsylvania, steel making for autos. | ||
| While she's parading through those states, she's now come out and said, well, no, no, I don't support EV mandates. | ||
| Her campaign has said that. | ||
| So she's got the protection of, well, she didn't say that. | ||
| When she leaves these states, you go to California where she's pushed this With government officials there into legislation by 2035, it's a whole different story. | ||
| There's no auto industry there to speak of. | ||
| There is an oil industry with Chevron, but no auto industry. | ||
| So it's a lot easier sell there to elites in California that guess what? | ||
| We can force you because we're smarter than you on what kind of a fueled vehicle to drive. | ||
| I think she's not going to back walk it while she's campaigning up in the Rust Belt and in car country. | ||
| Which also now extends to Tennessee, Mississippi, car factories owned by large players like Toyota and Hyundai and GM down there. | ||
| She's done the same thing on energy with fracking, this commentary. | ||
| She has been an ardent supporter of the banning of fracking. | ||
| You can trace back to any number of comments, definitive statements she's made wanting to ban it over the last 12 years and in her role as vice president of the United States, suddenly changing her mind. | ||
| Through her campaign, folks, not her own lips directly, but, you know, a sign many, many folks see this for what this is. | ||
| It's just duplicitous lying on the campaign trail to shape messages state by state that certainly would be walked back if she's elected. | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| Selected. | ||
| Look at the history of what she has done in her role as the second in command in the country, all about banning oil, gas, Given how key now these three states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, are going to be in the 2024 election cycle, I think it's absolutely imperative, I would gently suggest this to the Trump campaign, that they drill down on this. | ||
| And I know probably in the debate, the debate would be a perfect opportunity to put Carmen Harris under great pressure here. | ||
| Just I just want to put in the details to what you mentioned. | ||
| On the 28th, Axios asked the campaign where the Harris campaign, whether she would sign or veto the bill that she had co-sponsored back in 2019. | ||
| And her campaign has ultimately decided not to comment. | ||
| That is the official position. | ||
| It's not going to comment. | ||
| The background to what you were saying was that in a briefing note last week, in a fact-checked | ||
| email, the Harris campaign, not Harris herself, said that she, as you quoted, does not support | ||
| an electric vehicle mandate. | ||
| But there's no word. | ||
| The campaign isn't saying formally whether she would sign or veto her own bill, a version | ||
| of her own bill that she pushed in 2019 and again in 2020. | ||
| I absolutely think Donald Trump needs to hit her around the face repeatedly with this in | ||
| the debate. | ||
|

|
Dave, thanks very much for... | |
| Could you hold on, because I want to come back to you. | ||
| There are some developments on the EV front also in Sweden, in Europe, that I think is an indication of how the whole EV The lobby led EV market has been overpushed and overhyped and is collapsing. | ||
| It's very dangerous, therefore, to build an economic position around that or even an energy position around that. | ||
| Would you mind holding on for a short while? | ||
| We'll come back and hit those points with you a little later on in the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm good, Ben. | |
| Thanks very much. | ||
| Let's go over, if I may, to Michael Patrick Leahy, who joins us. | ||
| Michael Patrick, thanks very much. | ||
| I think you've got some news for us, don't you? | ||
| An update on the shooter in Tennessee from a short while or so ago. | ||
| Ben Harwell, it's great to be with you, and it's great to see you at the former Breitbart Embassy and not in Rome. | ||
| You're doing a great job filling in for our very good friend Stephen K. Bannon, who we hope will be released from his political imprisonment in Danbury, Connecticut under contempt of Congress charges that are, you know, just terrible. | ||
| But you're doing a great job. | ||
| Yes, at the Tennessee Star, TennesseeStar.com, on Tuesday, we released the Covenant Killers manifesto. | ||
| And it's really actually a total of, it's a total of 90 pages of all of her journals, writings, a diary that was left in her vehicle on March 27, 2023, the morning on which she killed six people in Nashville. | ||
| And that afternoon, the police discovered this journal. | ||
| We released it. | ||
| The courts have I've been in the courts ever since, and our court battles to get these documents released at the state level weren't successful at the trial level. | ||
| They weren't successful yet at the federal level. | ||
| But independently, we legally obtained these documents and we released it. | ||
| And they show a very troubled young lady who thought she was identified as a transgender male and who had very serious, serious mental health problems. | ||
| And the issue here is the massive failure of our mental health system. | ||
| And the issue isn't gun control. | ||
| It's the failure of our mental health system. | ||
| Michael Patrick, you've obviously read all of these documents. | ||
| And just for the woman posse, as a reminder, this is a biological woman, a lady of 28 years of age, who murdered three nine-year-old students. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that just gives an illustration, I think, of the frame of mind that's unhinged. | ||
| And three staffers, so six people total. | ||
| That's right, that's right. | ||
| Reading through these documents, what was your first impression, your first overriding impression, as you're reading the texts of these documents, the mental decomposition of this biological woman? | ||
| And let's not forget, at the time of this, and I remember this, Michael Patrick, the mainstream media originally tried to suppress the fact That we were dealing with someone who had transgender ideation. | ||
| Yeah, well, she hated herself, she hated her gender, and she hated people. | ||
| And she was very, very troubled. | ||
| And you can read it, you know, we've written some stories about it in June, based upon the diary, the journal that we just released earlier this week. | ||
| But when you see it in her own handwriting, And you see how utterly lacking in any hope for the future she was, how despondent she was, how filled with suicidal ideation she was, how she wanted to die, how she wanted to kill her father. | ||
| It was very clear that this was a young woman who was calling out for help and wasn't getting it. | ||
| She was treated by Vanderbilt University Medical Center We only have about 30 seconds left before we go into the break and I'll ask you to hold on for a couple of moments. | ||
| years, they didn't help, they made it a lot worse. | ||
| These schizophrenic treatments. | ||
| Every single one of them. | ||
| They have that, and they either take them or they don't take them. | ||
| I think in a few cases... Look, we'll make way for the break now. | ||
| My hypothesis is that these drugs do a lot of good, but in a few instances, they make the situation a lot worse. | ||
| I think the evidence supports exactly what you said, and we've got to address the mental health crisis of the abuse of these psychotropic drugs by the medical profession and the impact it has on young children throughout the country. | ||
| That has to be addressed. | ||
| It has to be a top priority. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It seems to me that the issue... Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| It seems to me that this is the issue. | ||
| The issue is the psychological treatment. | ||
| Obviously, so you have the first instance that these people are mentally unbalanced. | ||
| In a clinical sense, and that's obviously a dangerous position to have. | ||
| And of course, gun laws already make provision for that, right? | ||
| And then the second instance is that, quite correctly, they're prescribed and they take medicine. | ||
| And yet, perhaps it's 1 in 1,000, perhaps it's 1 in 10,000, perhaps it's even 1 in 100,000, there are these instances where it seems to exacerbate the mental problems rather than ameliorate them. | ||
| And I've never seen any admission from this, from the pharmaceutical industry. | ||
| The pharmaceutical industrial complex, I might also call it. | ||
| There are certain issues where these things, it's probably because they don't want to be sued to kingdom come, because if there is in a very small percentage of cases an exacerbating effect with these drugs, it's possible that the pharmaceuticals could actually be held responsible. | ||
| OK, so you've read the letters. | ||
| I think there are 20 or so of these ring binders that comprise, in total, this manifesto. | ||
| What's your takeaway then? | ||
| We heard that your first takeaway was that, on reading this, you were dealing with a very troubled individual. After the passage of a couple of days | ||
| and you've had a chance to absorb this, do you have any more long-term | ||
| conclusions that you think society would benefit from? | ||
| Yeah, I think all of these records should be made public. | ||
| We only made public what we have, what we obtained legally in June, which is the 90 pages from her journal for the last three months of her life. | ||
| As you pointed out, there were 20 other journals found in her house that afternoon that covered about a thousand pages over 15 years. | ||
| We've not seen that. | ||
| We've not seen the spiral notebook that she left behind that was her operational plan of attack. | ||
| All of this information should be released to the public. | ||
| It is in the public interest to see them. | ||
| The Freedom of Information Act has been abused by the FBI because they've refused to release it. | ||
| The Tennessee Public Records Act has been abused by Metro Nashville government. | ||
| They should have released this as well. | ||
| And there's a reason they're trying to hide it. | ||
| Part of it is political, because they're concerned it will have some impact on certain vulnerable groups, such as transgenders, but also because they don't want anything to interrupt the gun control agenda. | ||
| When this comes out, it's very clear that this is a mental health problem, not a gun control problem. | ||
| And I think that's the main point on all this, Ben. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, I know you have to bounce and I'm very grateful for you coming on the show this afternoon. | ||
| Just before you go, here's a controversial question for you, because you're one of the few people I think that will have studied all of these documents profoundly. | ||
| Is there a relationship, but it has been questioned, the question has been raised in certain corners of the internet, so I'll ask it Of you. | ||
| You can either answer it or deflect. | ||
| Do you think there is a relationship? | ||
| Obviously, I'm not saying that anyone who has transgender ideation is a potential mass murderer. | ||
| Far from it. | ||
| I'm absolutely not suggesting that. | ||
| But do you think there is a correlation between people who have this gender dysphoria and mental illness in general? | ||
| There's clearly a correlation. | ||
| Is there causality? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| That's my view as a journalist and not as a medical professional. | ||
| But again, that's why all these records, the writings of mass murderers need to be released so we can study, understand them, and take action so that doesn't happen again in the future. | ||
| Okay, Michael Patrick Leahy from Star News Digital Media. | ||
| Thanks very much for coming on the show. | ||
| I'll flag up that article which you mentioned, which is on the tennesseestar.com, which is your statement on the Covenant Killers Journal. | ||

| Brilliant. | ||
| Thanks very much for joining us on the show today. | ||
| We'll catch up again with you soon. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| OK, so we're going to shift back into campaign mode now, as we were talking about the concentration towards those three states and discuss the implications with regards to Arizona and Gina Swoboda. | ||
| Actually, I don't. | ||
| In fact, a slight mix up, I think, on the on the on the preview camera. | ||
| But to jump straight to Dave Walsh. | ||
| Gina, good afternoon to you. | ||
| Tell me. | ||
| Tell me if you wouldn't mind. | ||
| We were discussing just before you came on about the stay, the partial stay from the Supreme Court. | ||
| On the... Let me get this right. | ||
| I need to go back to... I've lost it now. | ||
| My Spanish isn't as good as my Italian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm afraid. | |
| Mi familia vota. | ||
| It took a bit of time. | ||
| Tell me, the breakdown of this is pretty important, isn't it? | ||
| Not just in... | ||
| Excuse me, in Arizona, because this partial stay has said that when using the state voter registration form for the voter list, the proof of citizenship, it's highly appropriate for the state to ask of proof for citizenship. | ||
| And you've been involved with this case before the Supreme Court. | ||
| Provisionally, the Supremes have sided with you. | ||
| This is great news, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| This is hugely important. | ||
| Arizona has been in the forefront of fighting for proof of citizenship for voter registration for over a decade. | ||
| And we've worked very hard to comply with previous court rulings. | ||
| But we just can't have an open border and have people coming over. | ||
| And they give these people support. | ||
| So this is a state that is urgently needed. | ||
| And we're not done. | ||
| Hold on Gina, we're going to come back to you in two minutes. | ||
| We're also going to discuss this second case with your name on it before the Supreme Court as well. | ||

| All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | ||
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| So I'm talking with Gina Swoboda, the head of the Arizona GOP, about this Supreme Court victory of just a few days ago, this partial stay. | ||
| Tell us a bit more, please, Gina, about this. | ||
| Were you expecting to be confirmed by the Supreme Court? | ||
| Obviously, I know that you were involved with bringing the case. | ||
| But how confident were you that the Supremes would actually line up behind you? | ||
| And what do you think this means for the rest of the states in the Union? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think it is a breakthrough that needed to be made. | |
| It's a partial stay pending the Ninth Circuit's ruling on the hearing, right? | ||
| So, what the Supreme Court said is, we're going to allow this statute that Arizona passed to go into effect until the Ninth Circuit, which is where we're sitting right now being heard, makes their decision. | ||
| I expect the Ninth Circuit, if passed is prologue, will rule against us, and then we will appeal the entire case back up to SCOTUS. | ||
| I don't know if we'll make it there by September 21st. | ||
| September 21st is when the ballots go out to the military. | ||
| That's a national date that's set in federal law. | ||
| So, you know, every bite that we can take to make sure that we're closing gaps and that we're fighting to demonstrate that we are watching the field is urgent. | ||
| And I'm very proud of that case. And I think at the end of the day, the whole | ||
| thing will be upheld. | ||
| You know, we had in there also been a requirement that if you're voting for president at all in the state of Arizona, | ||
| or if you're voting by mail in the state of Arizona, you likewise must show proof of citizenship. | ||
| Those two provisions are still on hold and we're going to continue to fight to get those codified. | ||
| That's absolutely incredible. Now, could you tell us, please, a bit more about the early voting, the in-person | ||
| early voting, and how you're readying for that in Arizona? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yes, so Arizona has 27 days of early voting. | ||
| That's going to start on October 9th. | ||
| Our voter registration deadline is 29 days out. | ||
| So if you're in Arizona or someone you love is in Arizona, make sure they register to vote by October 7th. | ||
| And everyone in Arizona should check their voter registration by going to Arizona.vote and make sure everything's accurate. | ||
| As President Trump would say, the way that you want to vote, that's the way to vote. | ||
| We want everyone to vote in whatever method appeals to them. | ||
| I do need people to consider I've got people working multiple shifts in this horrible, horrible Harris-Biden economy and election day is a Tuesday. | ||
| And if everybody waits till the last minute, if something goes wrong in your life, if your car breaks down or you pull a second shift or Susie gets sick, You might not make it to the polls. | ||
| So if you do have the opportunity to vote early, I do encourage people to take advantage of that and to go ahead. | ||
| You can just walk into any polling place that's open in Arizona. | ||
| You don't have to be on a list. | ||
| If you go to Arizona.vote, you can see the nearest location closest to you that is open during those 27 days, beginning October 9th. | ||
| What we don't want is for something to go wrong like it did in Maricopa with the equipment on Election Day in 2022, which cost Abe Hamaday and Carrie Lake probably their elections, right? | ||
| So any way you can vote, please get out and do it. | ||
| I just want to add that some of the Press reports today and yesterday have been noting how the Trump campaign is pulling out resources from New Hampshire, Minnesota and Virginia in order to concentrate on Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. | ||
| Your state is not in play with regards to that withdrawal of resources from the Trump campaign. | ||
| North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada are very much still being supported by the campaign. | ||
| Okay, Gina, would you just mind giving those deadline dates once again for in-person early voting? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Ben. | |
| So, October 7th is the voter registration deadline. | ||
| Go to servicearizona.com, all spelled out to register to vote. | ||
| October 9th is when you can start voting early in person. | ||
| Go to arizona.vote. | ||
| I'm litigating many issues, including suing our very bad governor who's trying to put voting locations in juvenile correction facilities. | ||
| So if you want to go to AZGOP.com and hit the donate button, Posse, that helps me continue the fight. | ||
| And thank you. | ||
| I'm very grateful to Posse and to all of you. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. | ||
| Thanks, Gina. | ||
| And just briefly, your socials, if people want to stay in touch with your output, with your analysis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, right on. | |
| And I have whiteboard videos. | ||
| I talk all about this litigation. | ||
| So if you go to YouTube and you put in Arizona Republican Party, you'll see my little whiteboard videos on the litigation. | ||
| If you go to X, hit us at at, A-Z-G-O-P, and I'm on there, at Gina Svoboda, and we are just grateful for the posse. | ||
| It's going to be the people that save this country. | ||
| We built it. | ||
| We're going to save it. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. | ||
| With your whiteboard demonstrations, you're really the magnus response to Karl Rove. | ||
| Gina Svoboda, thanks very much for joining us on the show today. | ||
| We look forward to catching up with you again soon. | ||
| Back to Dave Walsh now and the auto industry. | ||
| There were some, I saw something very interesting here this morning, I think it was in the Financial Times, that Volvo, the Swedish car giant, has abandoned its plans to have EV only by 2030. | ||
| What does that tell you about The health of the EV side of the auto industry and more importantly, the lobbying, the huge lobbying in parliaments around the world on behalf of the Enviro fanatics. | ||
| What do you tell me about the health of that lobby, that Volvo, in Scandinavia, of course, right, at the heart of liberal political correctness on all fronts, on all metrics, that it's actually walking back its earlier flagship commitment? | ||
| Well, I think they're running into lobbies here in North America and Europe every bit as strong as the Green Movement in terms of labor. | ||
| Labor, which, you know, is way behind governments historically in Europe. | ||
| And we've been very critical over here of high tariffs in Europe protecting labor. | ||
| But labor is a big deal in Europe, as it is in the Rust Belt here. | ||
| And that's who's pushing back on this, as Volvo announces dropping their announced 2030 target to make EVs only across their vehicle lineup. | ||
| Slow that down. | ||
| And begin to introduce a heavy mix of hybrid vehicles into their portfolio, joining Mercedes, who have done the same thing in the last three months. | ||
| BMW, the same thing in the last two or three months. | ||
| Peugeot, I think, Renault, the same thing in the last same kinds of announcements in the last three months. | ||
| This is a trend here too with Ford. | ||
| Ford has scaled back massively in plans to build EV plants in Canada and here in the U.S. | ||
| in favor of light vehicle trucks that are gas powered. | ||
| So you're seeing the labor side of the impetus on government begin to take its toll on the green movement with the absolute necessity to hang on to manufacturing jobs, making cars. | ||
| Because it's very clear to most that the elite governments have been pushing an agenda that is actually all about China. | ||
| China's capacity to make cars is nine times larger than Tesla. | ||
| And their goal and objective is to support exportation of end-to-end vehicles not just selling musk batteries but entire vehicles here in Europe. | ||
| Folks are wising up to that plus the unreliability and other issues mentioned. | ||
| So they're the lobbyists for labor, or look like they're lately prevailing on this on this important topic. | ||
| And Dave, you and I were speaking yesterday, not on the show, but you and I were speaking yesterday about this story and staying obviously on the energy front here about this, the tanker, the oil tanker that crashed. | ||
| And there's the Washington Post spin on this, and they said this dark, in scare quotes, the dark tanker crash exposes dangers of China's thirst for cheap oil. | ||
| Start off with this headline, if you wouldn't mind, as we talk about the Cherries One oil tanker. | ||
| Is it realistic? | ||
| Are they trying to frame something here, talking about China's so-called thirst for cheap oil, as if it's only China that has this? | ||
| They're continuing to support the propaganda media in the West, in Western Europe and here. | ||
| Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, nine countries in Western Europe, a grand total of 13 countries in the world, egregiously behind, greening up at all costs to their industrial might, to their defence, to their economies, Economies be damned, let's become green. | ||
| I can tell you 174 countries in the world are not on that page, led by China, India, Turkey, Japan included, not on that page. | ||
| Mexico, not on that page. | ||
| on and on. A vast majority of countries want a better lifestyle for their people through the continued use of | ||
| industrial development fossil fuels petrochemical plants chemical | ||
| plants plastics plants all the kinds of manufacturing steel specialty | ||
| steelmaking auto manufacturing phosphate development for fertilizer all of the stuff that's heavily dependent on | ||
| power electric power to make pulp and paper included the third | ||
| world the developing world the BRICS world wants those industries | ||
| in their countries. Our 13 countries have now taken steps on issuing oil as in that headline. | ||
| Cheap oil is some negative thing. | ||
| God willing, our country here, Canada, Western Europe will return to manufacturing and also desire cheap oil. | ||
| We all want that in abundance to be able to manufacture products to support a developed economy. | ||
| As we're talking about most of this kind of industrial production being abdicated entirely by the West, and the Green Movement would be happy to see that happen, as production of these core manufacturing elements I described, aluminum being another one, begin to transit offshore to the developing world, leave Western Europe, leave the US, And leave us badly, badly exposed to China being way past us, industrially and militarily. | ||
| So the propaganda media is still on this page of this thirst for cheap oil being some kind of a, it's a blessing to China that their economy is so manufacturing intensive and their balance of trade is so favorable to them. | ||
| Wishing that we were in the same place. | ||
| One of our biggest export, four of our five largest exports now are LNG, crude oil, chemicals made from crude oil, plastics made from crude oil, Dave, I know you've got to bounce, but just before you do, here's my final question, if you could just handle this in about 30 seconds. | ||
| This oil tanker, the Cherries One, crashed off the coast of Malaysia, I think it was, because it apparently turned its transponder off. | ||
| It's a satellite locator that alerts its presence to other ships. | ||
| And the reason it was doing this, according to the Washington Post, but a very legitimate explanation, I think, is that it was involved in some way with breaking the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia and also, I think, against the Iranian regime as well. | ||
| Do you think, just like in 30 seconds, this could have been, had the Cherries 1 been full, this would have actually been a massive environmental | ||
| catastrophe if it had recently just dropped it and loaded its oil in China. | ||
| Do you think that in some ways it's actually the Western sanctions that are perhaps in | ||
| some way responsible for this catastrophe, which could have been a thousand times worse? | ||
| Completely responsible for it. | ||
| We have pushed together, China and Russia, who together, conjointly, have crushed OPEC, basically, in its pricing power. | ||
| Russia exporting huge quantities of oil to China, 2 million barrels a day, another 1.8 million barrels to India, at prices well below Brent crude. | ||
| Both cases about in the mid-50s, dollars per barrel. | ||
| Brent crude's up there at $75 per barrel. | ||
| Shipping oil from Iran and Iraq to Russia, to China rather, Iran about 1.8 million barrels a day, moving around the boycotts. | ||
| You've now got oil trading in the world, about 42% of it cross-country oil trade being exported and imported by country, but 42% of it well below Brent crude levels because of the evasion attempts to evade the European cap of $60 a barrel. | ||
| And by the way, European imports of Russian oil skyrocketed in May and June of this year at numbers below 60 bucks a barrel to fit inside of the boycotts. | ||
| It's become productive for Russia to re-export to Europe. | ||
| Dave, that's an amazing analysis. | ||
| Where do people go on social media to keep up with your commentary? | ||
| We have caused all of that to happen with the policies that have forced Russia and China Thank you, Ben. | ||
| Dave, thanks very much. | ||
| Outstanding. | ||
| We only have a few minutes left. | ||
| Steve Stern, I know you had a great phone call yesterday, but before you quickly mention that, tell me something right now. | ||
| An update, if you will, on what the work that's being done to maximise turnout for the Trump campaign as we move towards November the 5th. | ||
| Well, in Florida, which I'm at, I'm the vice chair of the Brown Republican Executive Committee, we just hit this week, and I'm glad I'm on because we hit one million more Republicans than Democrats in the state of Florida. | ||
| And how did that happen? | ||
| Well, it happened through precinct strategy, and that's how we're getting the vote out. | ||
| We've got people walking. | ||
| We've got people texting. | ||
| We've got people emailing. | ||
| We've got people doing everything we can. | ||
| So our call yesterday was very important to the Trump campaign because we had a very important person on who It was nice enough to get on here. | ||
| Bill McGinley, you've had him on a lot. | ||
| He talked about what the campaign is doing, how they're helping. | ||
| And many of our people who were on there yesterday talked about that. | ||
| So we had Dan Schultz on there who talked about precinct strategy. | ||
| We had Ann VanderSteel talking about what's going on in Florida. | ||
| And if you want to see what's happening, I'll tell you about it with more people because I know we have limited time. | ||
| But the first thing is we talked about being a poll watcher and a poll worker. | ||
| This is going to be very important because in Pinellas Park, They had 219,000 ballots that were sent out that were not requested, and in Miami, they had 179,000 ballots that were sent out that were not requested in June. | ||
| That's going to be a very important thing, and a lot of our people talked about that. | ||
| We had Marcel Strebich from Ohio talking about that. | ||
| Greg Stenstrom talked about that in Pennsylvania. | ||
| We had Catherine Engelbrecht, who you always have on True to Vote. | ||
| So we're getting the people out to vote here in Florida, but we've got to work in other areas of the country because there are 30 different counties that are going to make a difference in this election. | ||
| And if we don't get into those counties and walk and get people involved, it's not going to happen. | ||
| Also, we all want to think about Steve Bannon. | ||
| We had Maureen Bannon on there. | ||
| She talked about his shirt that we're doing, StandWithBannon.com. | ||
| So if you want to get that shirt, go to StandWithBannon.com. | ||
| Let's remember him because everybody talks on the show, including you, is the voice of Steve Bannon. | ||
| And I know We know that very well. | ||
| And also, he would talk about, because Maureen Bannon talked about, get involved with TrumpForce47.com. | ||
| That's how we're going to win this. | ||
| We got 20,000 people have signed up. | ||
| We need 100,000 people to sign up. | ||
| So let's get involved. | ||
| Let's do that. | ||
| And if you want to see anything about our Zoom meeting where we had 130,000 people on it, go to SternAmerican.com Rumble, SternRumble.com. | ||
| You can see it from yesterday. | ||
| It's going to be happening again on the 25th. | ||
| If you want to come and see it live, go to sstern1054gmail.com and we'll send you a link to the thing. | ||
| Thank you very much for having me on. | ||
| I know we only had a limited time, so action, action, action. | ||
| Let's get it done, Ben. | ||
| Steve Stern, you're absolutely incredible, a hero, a personal hero of mine. | ||
