Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies.
steve bannon
Because we're going medieval on these people.
President Trump got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
dave brat
I know you don't like hearing that.
unidentified
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Back in the War Room, Dave Brattson in for the great Stephen K. Bannon.
Just want to give a call out to our friends at Birch Gold.
Make sure to go follow them.
Make the phone call.
Everything's posted out at the War Room website.
Let me read you a little statistic.
I might get into this later in the show if we got time.
The ultra-rich have never had it better.
Shocker.
As the following snapshot of the latest global wealthy pyramid from UBS, right, the big financial firm, so this is not Making up statistics time.
UBS, global firm, less than 30 people now account for $3 trillion in wealth.
Let me read that again.
Less than 30 people now account for $3 trillion in wealth.
More than the $2.4 trillion in wealth divided by the bottom 1.5 billion people.
30 people have way more than 1.5 billion people.
What do you think comes next if you're a student of economics?
Karl Marx would tell you what comes next, and he would be somewhat right on this one.
There is a populist revolution brewing already.
So when you have this kind of global instability, this kind of inequality, we're shipping our jobs abroad, the elitists are all making bets, the Federal Reserve creates the instability by printing too much money.
We're in the middle of another bubble right now.
Everybody knows it.
Every financial expert knows it.
I'd go check out gold.
See where gold plays a place in your portfolio.
Give Birch Gold a call today.
They've been a great friend of the War Room.
I've gotten to meet their team.
And it's a rare deal where you get to call in and ask them what's best for you and your portfolio.
So give our friends at Birch Gold a call out today.
Congressman Burchett, thanks for being in the War Room with us today again.
What else is coming up at us in Congress?
I was being facetious at the end of the last set, right?
But we got an 84% issue favorable.
The American people believe in the SAVE Act.
They don't want illegals voting in our elections.
It's already in federal law, but there's some state problems.
The states don't enforce.
The states don't give up their voting rolls.
So you can check to see if the illegals were voting in the elections.
So there does need to be a patch-up.
It's waiting in the Senate.
It seems like an ideal thing for Speaker Johnson to do, put heat on the Senate.
They hardly ever take up any issue.
And so what's the strategy on this, and what else do we got happening in the House of Representatives, of the People's House, this week when you're back in action?
Congressman Brunchard.
tim burchett
I couldn't agree with you more, and you can call me Tim, but I always am curious of what exactly they are doing over in the Senate.
You know, they always blame the House and they say the House, the House, but then they're pontificating about something that no one's even concerned about.
So I'm not really sure what the heck they're doing.
And I don't know why we don't call a press conference and say, you've got it, do something about it.
And then document what's going on.
You know, in Tennessee, where I come from, our Secretary of State is a guy named Trey Hargan.
I served in the legislature with him, and now he's the Secretary of State.
He runs the cleanest elections in the country.
I do not see why we don't bring people like him down here and talk about what we do in Tennessee, why we don't have these problems, why the Democrats and the Republicans agree that we run clean elections.
And that should be the model that we use, but we don't.
We can't get past our egos and our own Or, you know, our own press conferences, and that's what they do.
And we're ruining this thing.
We missed so many.
I hate, in politics, the one thing I hate the most is missed opportunities.
And this is a missed opportunity.
We should have already been putting the heat on them instead of tying it to this crazy spending bill.
Now, and everybody says, shut the government down, shut the government.
I get that.
You know, I'd vote to do that if I thought it would.
I've done it before.
If I thought we would actually get something from it.
But here's what's going to happen.
We're going to fold.
We'll pass a CR with the Pelosi-Schumer spending.
We're addicted to the money.
We don't have the guts to call this out for what it is.
America needs to wake up.
We've got to get more than 15% of the population voting.
Y'all have got to get angry and get to the dadgum polls.
Pray about what you should do and let's take our country back because we're on the cusp of losing everything and spending is the number one threat we have.
It's not the Chinese, it's not the Russians, it's spending and we know it.
We spend it for missiles, they spend it for woke programs but we've got to get away from this addiction because we All we're doing now, every dollar we give to Ukraine and all these other places, which I don't vote for, but we're borrowing every dadgum penny of that.
And there is no plan to pay it back.
It's just to get us through this next election cycle.
And that's all we do every dadgum time.
So let's wake up.
Let's do something right.
And let's take our country back.
That would be my goal.
I remember on the night Bill Clinton was winning the White House, I was in the State House.
And Daddy, it was just me and Daddy.
We'd worked at the polls.
Daddy's an old World War II Marine veteran, and his prayer was, Lord, please don't let us lose our country.
And that prayer is never, it never resonates more than right now, because we are on the cusp of losing everything.
dave brat
Yeah, man, I agree with you, brother.
Hey, one minute to go.
Tim, you just mentioned spending, spending, spending, debt, deficit, $7 trillion Pelosi budget we sent up from our last Republican speaker to Biden without the approval of the House.
And the debate last night, ABC News, David Muir, who are the DNC cheerleaders, not one mention of spending.
Nothing.
What do you make of that debate where they don't even make a mention of debt, deficit spending, and stealing from the next generation?
What's your quick commentary on the election last night?
I mean, on the debate last night?
tim burchett
The debate.
Trump had three people he was debating that was clear.
I wish I could go back in time.
I would tell the president, say, let's let's focus on the way it was under your leadership and the way we got to get there.
Right.
And the corrections we've got to make.
And the corrections we've got to make are the spending.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim burchett
And that was never brought up.
And to me, that is glaring because you've got this.
The Uniparty or whatever you want to call it, it's not a swamp.
It's a sewer up here.
The sewer wants that.
They want this whole system to collapse because then, then those people will be in charge
of everything.
And you think it's rough now?
You wait till you're in line with a barrel full of money to pay for a loaf of bread, and then look back and think, man, I should have gotten off my ass on election day and voted.
unidentified
Yep.
dave brat
You got it, brother.
Tim, thanks for sharing the stories.
We're with you and your dad and the prayers.
The whole country's praying for a win, and we're going to pray and take action.
Thanks for being with us.
Everybody loves you on the show, Tim.
God bless you.
unidentified
Thanks.
tim burchett
Love the posse.
Everywhere I'm at, all my rural areas, everybody loves the posse.
Pray for Steve Bannon.
unidentified
That's great.
tim burchett
We'll get him back.
Thank you.
dave brat
You bet.
unidentified
All right.
dave brat
You bet, brother.
All right.
Congressman Burchett just mentioned the AG.
Great work they're doing.
There's no better AG in this country than Chris Kobach.
Chris, welcome to the show.
I think you're doing some litigation warfare across the board.
Why don't you share with the posse what that involves?
Welcome to the show, Chris.
Thanks.
kris kobach
Thanks Dave.
Yeah, the litigation battles are going fast and furious right now.
The outgoing Biden-Harris administration is just throwing every regulatory Change woke reform they can up there through regulations and through executive orders and so the We are sort of the last the rear guard the last line of defense state attorneys general and so in Kansas We've been leading a number of lawsuits where we you know the way it usually works one state takes the lead argues the case but other states join in as fellow plaintiffs and
And I'll just give you three updates.
One is the student loan forgiveness deal.
Kansas was one of the six states that originally knocked down the student loan forgiveness
plan in the Supreme Court of the United States.
But then the Biden administration has come back and issued version number two, which
we successfully got an injunction against, which was another twisting of the words of
Federal law is quite clear.
You can't just unilaterally forgive student loans.
They tried it one way by twisting one statute, the HEROES Act, the first time.
Now they're trying to twist the words of the Higher Education Act.
And now they've even announced a third one, which is the least likely of all three.
That one's going to get struck down in court, but it's all about buying votes.
They are trying to basically say to these individuals who have student loans, hey, we'll forgive your
loans, just vote for this team.
So that one is going well.
We've got it stopped in court.
The other big one is Title IX.
Kansas is leading one lawsuit.
There are a number of other states leading other lawsuits.
But we've had victory after victory in the Kansas Federal District Court.
A great judge not only ruled that the states involved do not have to change Title IX, and
just for viewers, refreshing your memory on this, the Biden administration, Title IX says
that you can't discriminate on the basis of sex in college and high school athletic programs
and in educational programs.
And that has always meant, okay, we give money to women's sports in colleges.
And high schools and all schools have to treat boys and girls the same in terms of making
sure there are opportunities for both and not excluding either.
Well, now the Biden administration is changing the meaning of the word sex to include not
biological sex, which is what we understand it to be, what Congress understood it to be
in 1974, but to be sexual identity, gender identity.
And so that would allow, if this regulation goes into effect, will allow boys into all
girls' locker rooms across the country, girls' showers, girls' bathrooms, and a host of other
things.
And that stopped, and a great judge in Kansas said that every parent or student who's a
member of Young America's Foundation or Moms for Liberty or Female Athletes United, their
entire school is forbidden from going along with this Biden regulatory change.
So that was a great holding, and we've effectively stopped it nationwide.
But that one's going up to the appeals courts as well.
Last one has not been ruled on yet.
In fact, I'll be arguing the case myself, and that is the Biden administration effort to give Obamacare to illegal aliens.
We'll be arguing that case in October to stop it from going into effect in November.
It's just crazy.
dave brat
Yeah.
For those of you who don't know, Chris Kobach has been a warrior with Rosemary Jenks and the whole crew up on Capitol Hill for decades, fighting the border invasion, immigration war, back when it was a simple million.
Chris, what's the commentary?
You saw the debate last night, the Davey Muir ABC News.
There are crazy stories out there emerging about towns that have been taken over for real.
And then the press, along with the political opposition, do gaslighting and make you look like you're making up crazy stories.
Can you give us some background on what we ought to expect there and how you fight back on this border invasion?
kris kobach
Well, yeah, I'll comment on the debate.
I mean, when Trump mentioned the anecdote that was in the news about what illegal aliens were doing in one particular town, the fact that the moderator fact-checked him and said, no, you're wrong.
I mean, that was crazy.
No moderator should ever enter the debate.
It's the other candidates' duty to correct if somebody says something wrong.
But anyway, which it wasn't wrong.
But to the point about this invasion, yeah, it's gone from using, the Biden administration
came in, remember, and one of the first things they did, they announced it on day one, was
a moratorium on deportations.
And several states sued, Texas led the charge on that one and stopped it.
Then they announced that they were going to basically order ICE agents to break the law
and not detain and not deport people.
That one, unfortunately, the Supreme Court held that the states don't have standing.
And as a result, that's part of the reason we have this wide open border where people
are essentially invited in.
They've also abused what's called parole authority to allow people into the country.
And this Obamacare case that I'm fighting, we'll be arguing in October, that's to encourage
them to stay.
You open the border, you allow them in, and then once they're in, you give them an incentive
So, in addition to the free K-12 education that younger members of these immigrant groups might get, you also give them a massive free health care system from the best health care in the western hemisphere, and that's Obamacare.
And so, we are being forced to pay for it, but it's illegal, and we are suing to stop it, and hopefully we'll get it stopped in court in October.
dave brat
Yep.
Godspeed to you, Chris Kobach, Attorney General.
He's been fighting the fight forever.
Look up his background, his pedigree.
No finer American.
No better educated person fighting on this side of the football.
Chris Kobach, thank you for being in the War Room with us today.
Stay tuned.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
Welcome back to the War Room.
dave brat
Dave Brat back in the War Room with the great Steve Bannon.
We have Josh Hammer in the house with us.
We're going to cover some debate highlights, but first, any updates on the SAVE Act, Josh, you want to share with us?
josh hammer
Dave, you know, as you and Congressman Burchard were discussing, I mean, the SAVE Act is polling at an incredibly high number for the very simple reason that the SAVE Act is about as common sense a bit of legislation as you will ever see emerge in the U.S.
Congress these days.
I mean, literally it is already in federal law, it is reiterating federal law
and putting some additional enforcement mechanisms and some teeth into it
that illegal aliens cannot vote in federal elections.
Dave, look, it actually is this simple.
There is one reason and one reason only for a congressman or senator to oppose the SAVE Act.
Literally only one reason that I can possibly think of.
And that one reason, which is a fairly obvious one and straightforward one, is that you actually want illegal aliens to vote in federal elections.
Well, do you know what we actually just found out over the past week, Dave?
You know, I was on vacation.
I got back Sunday night and I was trying to catch up.
One of the headlines that I saw that just kind of shocked me and my eyes did like, oh my God, is this real?
The Merrick Garland DOJ has indicted a Guatemalan illegal alien with illegally voting in a federal election and actually getting two, not just one, but two U.S.
passports.
That just dropped from the DOJ about a week ago.
So, I mean, this is not some manufactured threat.
This is a very, very real thing right now.
And you know, when it comes to the debate over whether or not it should be included in the so-called must-pass piece of funding legislation, you know, we're getting up to this October 1st funding deadline, I say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
If the Democrats, if Chuck Schumer, if they want to shut down the government over their freakish, satanic fetish of having illegal aliens trying to corrupt and undermine the integrity of the American franchise, Let them have it.
The American people are on our side on this one.
Basic common sense and civilizational sanity is on our side on this one.
This is about as no-brainer of a topic, Dave, as I can possibly think of.
All it's going to take, ultimately, is for Mike Johnson to do the right thing here, but it's going to take a lot of people speaking up and making their voices heard.
If we want this election to not have any shenanigans like 2020, if we want this to be smooth and not have any questions asked, The barest, the barest of bare minimums was to get legislation on the SAVE Act on the books to make sure that illegal aliens are not voting in this federal election.
dave brat
Yep, I agree with you.
I don't like Monday morning quarterbacks on debates and whatever because there's so much pressure on the candidates.
But man, if I would have been there last night, I would have repeated one issue about 20 times.
And it's free transgender surgeries provided in law to illegal immigrants paid for by you, the taxpayer.
And President Trump did get that out.
But I think it's so stark Right?
And of course, ABC, David Muir or whatever, no one pounced on that one and said, really?
You know, to the opposition, all political views are mine.
You believe in that?
The first thing that comes to your mind in terms of where we're at right now in this country with all the existential threats is the first thing that comes to mind is we got to provide transgender surgeries paid for by the taxpayer to illegal immigrants who have broken the law and come across our border.
And by the way, it's 14 million people.
And so, Josh, why don't you make a segue from that issue, the SAVE Act, illegal immigration, to the debate.
What insights do you have for the posse from last night?
josh hammer
Yeah, you know, I mean, this chemical castration, so-called gender-affirming care, which is, it's really an Orwellian term if there ever were one.
I mean, it's kind of like an intersectional wish list that Kamala Harris came up with.
You know, I'm kind of surprised, Dave, that she didn't say that this policy would be specifically not just for transgender, illegal aliens, but for like, I mean, it's so farcical that you couldn't even come up with it.
In fact, when Andrew Kaczynski brought this up with Aaron Burnett on CNN a few nights ago, Aaron Burnett did a double take.
like fabricated out of a far-left pseudo-academic, you know, higher education, Ivy League, ivory
tower classroom.
I mean, it's so farcical that you couldn't even come up with it.
In fact, when Andrew Kaczynski brought this up with Erin Burnett on CNN a few nights ago,
Erin Burnett did a double-take.
She was like, what?
I mean, Kamala Harris actually came out and said this.
And the guest, Andrew Kaczynski, was like, yes, as a matter of fact, she did.
And to make this even stranger, you know, I actually went down this rabbit hole a little further myself.
So the origin of this was an ACLU questionnaire back in 2019 during the height
of the Democratic presidential primaries back when Kamala Harris was essentially trying
to out left flank Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, all of the other crackpot politics
who were running in that primary.
So she was just saying the craziest crap imaginable.
So this gets back to an ACLU questionnaire.
And I actually saw one of the leading transgender lawyers, the director of transgender advocacy
or whatever weird title they have there for the ACLU.
He actually doubled down on this on Twitter X, whatever we're calling it a day or two ago.
And he actually wants to know whether or not Kamala Harris still agree with this.
And he went so far as to say that the Constitution actually requires it because it's an alleged Eighth Amendment cruel and unusual punishments clause violation to deny illegal aliens detained by ICE so-called gender-affirming care, aka chemical castration.
I would like to know whether or not Kamala Harris thinks that that is an 8th Amendment constitutional violation as well.
That's definitely not what I learned back when I was in law school.
But more generally about the debate last night, Dave, look, immigration and the economy, those are the issues.
Those issues should have been pounded time and time again.
The moderators, as people have been saying for the past 12 hours, they did an abysmal job.
I mean, there was so much more talk about January 6th.
an abortion. Trump has very clearly said he's leaving that issue to the states.
They didn't want to talk about the issues that actually matter to the
American people, namely immigration, economy, inflation, and crime, and the
reason that they didn't want to have a conversation about those issues is very
simple, and it's because the American people overwhelmingly say that they
trust Trump vans much more on the issues that they actually care about rather
than Harris Wallace.
So the moderators did an atrocious and abysmal job.
I think the Republican should have a semi-permanent boycott, frankly, on ABC News ever hosting one of these things ever again.
That was an absolute disgrace, an abysmal, an abysmal performance there.
Given the fact that it was an outright three-on-one debate, I thought Trump held his own just fine.
It was probably something close to a draw.
I don't think many swing voters are going to be kind of, you know, pushed either way based on that.
And I think that Trump is actually in pretty good shape right now to win this election, so I'm not particularly dire this morning.
dave brat
Yeah, I'm not dire either.
And in terms of debate, when you look at substance, I mean, if you want to, you know, just in straight, you know, utilitarian, ethical terms, secular terms, Trump hammered the loss of life in Ukraine and said, you know, a million.
I had 500,000 dead and injured Ukrainian boys And he said that war never would have happened, and we all know the backdrop on it.
We did a coup back in 2014, and now we're cheerleading for democracy after we pull off a coup.
But a couple minutes to go on those kind of issues.
David Muir, ethically uninterested in hundreds of thousands of dead and maimed young boys
on the war field.
No interest at all.
No fact check.
No going back and forth.
Nothing to the political opposition, the Democrats on that issue.
And other very serious issues.
And Trump, you know, I think he's the CEO and he's just, you know, I gave you a peace
and prosperity.
What more do you want?
And so the like you just said, the abstraction from what the American people actually want
was just clear and present to everyone.
Minute left to go, Josh Hammer.
josh hammer
You know, the Russia-Ukraine issue is actually an important one because the moderators in their left-wing disgrace.
I mean, seriously, Dave, I have myself kind of scratching my head wondering whether or not ABC News is taking money under the table from the DNC.
But, you know, they're grilling Trump on the old kind of Seth Abramson-Russia collusion delusion.
You know, do you even want Ukraine to win this war?
They're trying to paint out Kamala Harris to be this hero of Vladimir Zelensky.
You know, back in 2021, and Trump, to his great credit, brought this up last night, the Biden-Harris administration greenlit the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Well, you know, two months before they greenlit that, I was actually over in Poland.
I interviewed the then Prime Minister of Poland, Morawiecki.
They've had an unfortunate change in power over there in Warsaw.
But back when I interviewed Prime Minister Morawiecki, they were adamant that Nord Stream
2 cannot go forward because it is just a total sop to Vladimir Putin, it is a total giveaway
to the Russians.
The Biden-Harris administration did this.
And you know what did not happen when Donald Trump was president more generally?
Russia did not go marching into Ukraine the way that they did in Crimea under Barack Obama
the way that they did under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2022.
They did not do that because Donald Trump, despite the ridiculous attempts to portray
him as some sort of Putin puppet, is actually very tough on the Russia issue.
unidentified
Yep, peace and prosperity.
dave brat
He hammered the basic issues, the loss of lives in the millions, the left, David Muir.
I don't know what they care about.
If they don't care about millions of human lives, I don't know what they care about.
So Josh Hammer, thanks for being with us in the War Room.
Your context that you provide is just always awesome.
How do people follow you?
Ten seconds to go, Josh.
josh hammer
Always a pleasure, Dave.
So I'm on xjoshhammer, Instagram's joshbhammer, and then I host the Josh Hammer Show in America on trial, and also the Article 3 Project, article3project.org.

There is nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent.
That's right.
There's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months.
If Biden can push out these funds, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID.

Back in the warm with Dave Brat.
dave brat
I'm under direct commands from the captain, Stephen K. Bannon.
He spoke yesterday through Grace, who did a great job conveying a few orders from the captain.
The captain said there's these people out there called low-propensity voters, and in particular, Christians come out amongst the low-propensity voters.
And so just ironically, in the moment of greatest providential blessings, this country has been given every gift imaginable.
Longer lifespans, better health, riches, a powerful position in the world, a constitution and a declaration which says we the people are in charge of the government and all the congressmen and senators that come on this show, along with the president, work for us.
We the people.
And then God makes it very clear we are to obey our rulers, but the rulers in our special case are us.
And so for the low-propensity Christians out there who don't think they have a responsibility, I brought in one of the foremost historians of church history and the history of the Judeo-Christian West and the influence of Judeo-Christian principles in our founding and in the Constitution.
And so, Bill Federer, welcome to the War Room, and can you please share with us some insights that you have?
What is the duty of Christians to participate in their government in all spheres of life?
God's kind of put three spheres in life, the country, the nation-state, the church, and the family.
What are our Responsibilities in all of these spheres.
Bill, thanks for being with us.
unidentified
Well, thank you, Dave.
Well, the most common form of government in world history is king.
Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Kaiser, Tsar.
They keep getting bigger and kings have subjects who are subjected to their will.
Ancient Israel, when they came out of Egypt around 1400 BC, they had a republic.
The first time in world history where you have millions of people and no king.
The Greeks later had democracies and the Roman Republic.
And in a republic, the citizen is the king.
We pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic.
We're basically pledging allegiance to us being in charge of ourselves.
And so when people don't vote, they're surrendering their sovereignty.
It's like a negligent king.
And it goes a little bit more serious because by not voting, you're giving your consent to every wicked thing that's out there.
Right?
It's called the rule of tacit admission.
T-A-C-I-T.
And it's in a wedding ceremony.
Right?
If you're silent when they say the wedding vows, you're actually giving consent to the wedding vows.
If you're silent when they're killing babies, you're giving your consent to killing babies.
You're an accessory.
If you're silent when they're teaching the trans agenda, you're giving your consent to the teaching of the trans agenda.
So you're not being spiritual by not being involved.
You're being a negligent king.
Now, I go through the founding of the country, the Puritans look back to ancient Israel as this model of citizens ruling themselves.
But in the 1700s, you had this Great Awakening revival, and people said, well, don't be involved in government because it's worldly.
It's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Don't get involved in government because it's worldly.
Well, why is it worldly?
Because we're not involved in government.
And so the situation is that we, the people, are ruling bottom up versus the king ruling top down.
But if we don't, What happened to ancient Israel?
They eventually got a tyrant king.
What happened to the Greeks?
They eventually got Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, to conquer.
What happened to Rome?
They eventually flipped and instead of bottom-up republic, they turned into Julius Caesar ruling as a dictator, top-down.
So, republics, that's when Ben Franklin was asked by Mrs. Powell in Philadelphia, what did you give us, a monarchy, a republic, if you could keep it?
Well, how do you keep it?
If the people stay involved, if the people realize they are the king.
As a matter of fact, voting is the least of your duties.
You're supposed to be involved in the whole system, go through the training, be the person on the other side of the table asking for the driver's license, right?
Get involved in all the races that they take the responsibility as the king for our country.
And, and we do it for the children's sake that a good man leaves and inherits to his children's children.
I keep getting, you know, Hezekiah got sick, recovered.
Ambassadors from Babylon came and he showed him all the treasures.
Isaiah said, when you show him he goes everything.
He said, well, someday all that treasure and your sons will be eunuchs in the palace of Babylon.
And Hezekiah said, well, as long as it's going to be okay during my lifetime.
You're like, that's it?
Hezekiah?
You feel like reaching through the pages of the Bible and slapping him.
When David was told his son was going to die, he threw himself on his face and passed it.
You know, our founders sacrificed their prosperity for their posterity.
Today it's flipped.
People are sacrificing their posterity for prosperity.
Right?
We're adding a trillion dollars of debt every 100 days.
We don't care that our kids are going to be stuck with it.
I think it's time that we grow up and realize that we, the people, are in charge.
And if we don't take that, like in ancient Israel, you're going to get a Saul who's going to kill all the priests.
I mean, it's going to turn into a tyrant.
dave brat
Yes, yeah.
Bill, uh...
Great exposition, and so there's just one question left.
How did it come to this?
Why have we become so weak and so lazy?
There's a lot of very good people out there.
They spend time.
I'm at a great university.
The kids are engaged in the Bible.
It's about our culture overall.
We're losing our patriotism.
I heard RFK Jr.
with a stat yesterday.
He gave 80% of young people just 20 years ago used to say they love this country and today that number is down to 20%.
So the love of country, the love of God, the love of our great institutions, the willingness to take part.
Why are the wheels falling off and is there time to recover?
Bill Federer.

Well, it's a socialist tactic called deconstruction, where you separated people from their past, get them into a neutral where they don't remember where they came from, and then you brainwash them into the future you have planned for them.
It's like a sales technique.
If I was a toothpaste salesman, the first thing I'd do is tell you negative things about the toothpaste you're currently brushing with.
You're still brushing with that stuff, haven't you read it'll eat the enamel off your teeth?
Oh, you're repulsed by it.
Now I have you in a neutral, you're open-minded, what are all the toothpastes out there?
Then I give you my pitch for this tarting old breath freshener.
So they go into the classrooms and they tell the kids negative things about the founders.
They took land from Indians, throw people into slavery.
Forget the fact that they gave you a country where you're the king.
Forget that.
They were just bad.
So the kids are repulsed by them.
Now you've got the kids in a neutral, they're open-minded.
Then you give them your pitch for socialism or LGBT or trans or Islamism.
And these kids are like, oh, okay.
When you cut the ties from the past, the anchor's there and the boat drifts.
And so that's why it's so important that we go back and educate the young people that in America, we're unique out of 6,000 years of recorded human history where the citizen gets to be the king.
And if we don't Re-educate ourselves, we're going to lose it.
So it's all on the line this election.
I think it's no more gradual.
This is it.
dave brat
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree with you.
Bill, we're going to get you on the war room.
Thanks for coming on Skype from travels in the airport.
You're a true patriot.
Blessing to the country.
Thanks for being on with us, brother.
unidentified
Thank you, Dave.
dave brat
Yeah, you bet.
You bet.
Thanks, Bill.
Hey, Denver, can you put up a few slides?
We got a special guest coming on with us.
Bhatia Sargon will be with us in a minute.
I'm going to tee her up.
We're in violent agreement on what's driving this country, this populism.
And there's economic news coming in.
I've been hosting the show and have not been sharing any charts, but I just got a few charts to show you.
Let's just start off with this one, right?
All the news you're hearing on the economy these days is, hey, it's all great.
The consumer is strong, right?
In macroeconomics, the consumer is responsible for 70% of the economy.
And so this chart has a little different take, and then you're going to get a way different take in the next two charts that come up.
And then we got Bhatia coming on, who's going to close the deal for us.
But one reason consumption is high, if you look at this chart, is because credit card debt is at a record high as well.
Not only is credit card debt at its high, interest rates are at their high.
They're average 23%.
Once you're in that hole, it's very hard to dig your way out of that.
And other evidence on that chart is the savings rate is at an all-time low, right?
When you're rich, you get to save.
If you got some extra money, you save it away for a rainy day.
Right now, everyone's maxed out on their credit cards, so consumption looks strong.
You think that's strong?
It's just like the national accounting as well, with our $50 trillion in debt in 10 years.
The next set of charts is just there for description and a good graphic, but let me just read off what goes with it.
I read it earlier in the show, but I want you to have this.
The ultra-rich have never had it better, right?
After 07-08, we printed money.
The rich got richer.
The stock market fell 40% with a super bubble.
It's getting ready to happen again.
No one knows the exact time, but every financial expert says we're in a bubble again.
What does UBS show in the charts below?
Less than 30 people, 30 people own $3 trillion in wealth.
Well, the rest of the world, 1.5 billion adults have only $2.4 trillion.
30 people have more wealth than 1.5 billion people.
That's inequality.
The next chart, just a fun little graphic that, again, helps to make the point.
Ferrari, yes, the sports car versus Dollar General, where you go to shop when you're not in the Magnificent Seven CEO class.
As HeartNet shows on the graph below, all of this from Zero Hedge, by the way.
They do great charts every day.
Ferrari stock going up through the roof.
Dollar General stock, six-year low, and it's not particular to Dollar General.
I double-checked a few other stores in that category.
They're down.
So the poor not only are down, but even the dollar stores are down.
And that's a pretty grim statistic and day.
And so, what other stats go along with this?
A $15 trillion market cap, what these firms are worth for the top seven firms, right?
They're called the Magnificent Seven.
Go Google those firms.
This all just shows you the same story.
When they say consumption is good, yes, the wealthy are consuming everything.
They have more yachts than they've ever had.
And the bottom 50% own nothing.
Right, and so the bottom, right, the top seven firms are worth about as much as the bottom 5,000 companies, right, on some of the smaller mid-cap and small-cap firms.
So all of this just tees up their bottom line.
What happens when you have this type of polarization and in the history of ideas, in the history of economies, you get a revolution?
Hopefully we're going to do that peacefully through elections and through a populist movement that is attracting people like RFK Jr.
from the Democrat Party that says, I believe in an idea called democracy and we have to keep it for our kids.
And so, more on this story, we have Bhatia coming up after the break.
Bhatia Sargon has spent her life studying this inequality and is just a great spokesperson for what comes next.
If this type of inequality continues, we're certain to have...
Not a violent revolution, but a class revolution.
It's already happening.
The populists are being joined by blacks, Hispanics, blue-collar workers, as Steve Bannon says, and the cause of it all, according to Stephen K. Bannon, is the Federal Reserve in 07-08.
We're living out the ideals of the Federal Reserve elite.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Back in the War Room, Dave Brat with Bhatia Ungar Sargon.
Bhatia, I just teed you up with some populist charts.
Please add your wisdom and insights.
What is coming our way in this country if we don't course correct and get the middle class some relief?
Bhatia, welcome to the War Room.
batya ungar-sargon
So first of all, thank you so much for having me.
It's such an honor to be here in the absence of our national hero, Stephen Bannon.
It's an utter outrage what they've done to him.
And I know you don't need me to say that and your audience doesn't need to hear that from me.
But as somebody who's, you know, from the left, I want you to know that it is obvious and everybody can see it.
It is election interference.
They knew that they had to take him out of the scene, otherwise Donald Trump would win.
And I just, I am so angry about it and so honored to be here and praying for him, of course, every single day.
The other thing I wanted to say before getting to the point is I just want to endorse something your last guest said.
So last Shabbat, last Saturday, in every single synagogue in the world, we read Deuteronomy 17, 14,
which reads, Ki Savo el haaretz ve'amarta asima alay melech, which in English means,
when you enter the land and you say, God is saying to the people of Israel, you say you
want a king, meaning it is our choice who we elect as our representative.
So that idea is completely there in the Bible, that we are the sovereign, we the people.
And so I just wanted to endorse that from our point of view as well.
The charts you pointed to are deeply important, and let me explain why.
The American working class is not resentful.
They don't have class resentment.
They don't hate the rich.
These are not people who are consumed by envy in the way that the top 20% are consumed by the envy of the 1%.
No.
What has happened is that Democratic administration after Democratic administration after Democratic
administration has stolen the ability of working class Americans, people who work and work
and work themselves to the bone, who don't have a college degree, who work with their
hands for a living, doing the jobs we would all simply cease to exist without them doing.
These Democratic administrations have made it impossible for these hardworking Americans
to achieve the most modest version of the American dream.
And while doing that, while plundering the middle class in an upward transfer of wealth
to their rich friends, they have smeared the working class for objecting as racists or
xenophobes or toxic masculinity, right?
They have created all sorts of smear campaigns against men and working class people.
unidentified
Yep.
batya ungar-sargon
distract from the fact that they have stolen their ability to feed their families.
And so they create this language of social justice to make it look like they are the
good guys for stealing your children's future.
That is the move and you are absolutely right about those charts.
Nine of the 10 richest counties in America now vote for Democrats.
65% of Americans making more than $500,000 a year now are Democrats.
97% of donations coming out of Silicon Valley go to Democrats.
96% 96% of journalists donate to Democrats when they donate, okay?
Wall Street gave more money to Joe Biden than they did to Donald Trump.
And here's the kicker.
Let me read you a tweet that came out of the Kamala Harris campaign yesterday.
Kamala's wins.
It goes, breaking.
New reporting shows that not one Fortune 100 CEO is supporting Donald Trump.
This is the Democrat bragging that the rich want her.
I tweeted back, did Donald Trump write this tweet, right?
I mean, what could be a better endorsement of Donald Trump than the fact that the wealthy want Harris, that the Obamas want Harris, that Dick Cheney wants Harris?
She's doing the work for him.
dave brat
Unbelievable.
Yeah, just great reporting and insights right there, Batya.
Thank you for all of that.
So the key question that remains is, you know all this, the War Room knows this, but will this break through?
Is it getting through?
The inflation numbers, I think, are getting through at the Supermarket, at the gas stations, the rents, the housing, the interest rates.
So those things are getting through.
But what you just said is profound, right?
They're running on the social justice narrative while they haven't given anything.
The inner city schools, etc., are all owned by the far left.
All political views are my own.
But is this message getting through to people, the one you just articulated so well?
batya ungar-sargon
It's definitely getting through to black men.
It's definitely getting through to Hispanic voters.
Donald Trump was the first president in 60 years to shrink income inequality and the wealth gap, okay?
Donald Trump created a multi-racial, multi-ethnic populist revolution.
The problem is, is that there are a lot of rich white women and they vote on abortion.
And we know that rich people tend to show up at the polls more than poor people, who of course are struggling much more, and more than working class people.
We all remember what the country was like in 2018 and 2019.
All of the divisiveness that allegedly existed there was between the elites And the working class who Donald Trump had elevated and
they could not stand that.
Now remember in 2019, the bottom 25% of wage earners saw a 4.5% wage increase and the top
25% of wage earners only saw a 2% wage increase.
That's why they want to destroy him.
They cannot stand that he made their BS college degree worth a little bit less than it is
under democratic establishment.
So that's I think what the stakes are of this election.
And of course, your viewers and listeners don't need me to tell you this.
I learn from them all the time.
dave brat
Yeah, well that's very humble of you, but I've heard very few people lay it out as well as you just have, and as you've always done with Stephen K. Bannon, 30 seconds to go.
How big of a chance does the RFK Jr.
and Tulsi Gabbard piece make in this election?
batya ungar-sargon
Huge.
dave brat
20 seconds.
batya ungar-sargon
I've been saying from the beginning, Donald Trump is the unity candidate.
He's running a consensus campaign, which everybody would be able to see if the media wasn't trying to destroy him, and this proves it.
dave brat
Awesome.
Batya Ungar-Sargon.
Check out her book.
Go read her.
This is not going away, folks.
This is a long-run economic trajectory that's been with us for too long.
It hasn't been solved.
There's one candidate standing in the breach who's already made inroads against the most powerful forces in the world, the globalists themselves, the elitists, the billionaire class, the Federal Reserve, everyone that's fought against you.
Uh, choice could not be clearer.
