| 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 quarter 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. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| This is probably the first device we've ever used that you can imagine replacing the phone. | ||
| This is Orion, not a headset, no wires, wide field of view, holographic displays, large enough to display a cinema screen or multiple monitors for working wherever you go. | ||
| This is the physical world with holograms overlaid on it. | ||
| For a lot of people, All the AI stuff, I think, is a really big deal. | ||
| The voice is, I think, it's just so much more natural. | ||
| Right now with MetAI, I texted a few questions every day, but when I was playing around with it with my daughters last night, and we just had like a... | ||
| 15-minute conversation about what our family should be for Halloween. | ||
| And it's just like a completely different vibe when you're using it with voice. | ||
| I think that's going to be a big deal. | ||
| All the AI stuff that we're bringing, the Ray-Bans, I think is going to be neat. | ||
| And making it so your glasses can help you remember things. | ||
| Making it so that now the glasses can give you suggestions. | ||
| And obviously Orion. | ||
| I mean, they're just crazy glasses, right? | ||
| It's like the first full... | ||
| Wide field of view, holographic AR glasses. | ||
| And it's controlled with the neural interface, which itself was of course a tremendous journey of research to get this kind of small, sleek-looking band that you can, with a slight gesture, even out of view of the device, control the interface that's happening on the device. | ||
| Because the device itself is also aware of the world around you, thanks to these tremendous advances in AI. And it's able to be helpful without me having to go out of band and be like, oh, let me go look that up. | ||
| Oh, I just remembered. I've got to check my... | ||
| No, you don't have to remember those things. | ||
| Those things will be contextually available to you at a thought. | ||
| What we're looking at now is the beginning of the next wave of AI. The biggest wave of AI. And this is really about... | ||
| Companies around the world using AI to be more productive as their digital employees and AI agents and co-pilots and however people describe them, as well as using generative AI to revolutionize the way they build their products and the products they build. | ||
| Hello, and welcome to another conversation from Anthropic. | ||
| Today, I'm here with Jack Clark, who's one of our co-founders and also our head of policy. | ||
| This isn't like a technology. | ||
| This is much more, and I said this to the UN Security Council last year, and I've kind of been expanding this idea recently, it's much more like we've figured out a way to simulate some aspect of people and to an extent some aspect of how countries work. | ||
| And it's like these AI systems are like these These silicon countries which we're importing into the world with all of these incredible capabilities. | ||
| And that's never happened before. | ||
| Can you talk us through the rogue state theory of AIs? | ||
| But if you talk to government and say, AI systems are like a new country that's doing bad stuff that you do not understand. | ||
| to think much more holistically about how they deal with that. And it means that you can say to them, | ||
| you need a whole of government response to AI systems, which actually like sounds a lot more | ||
| sensible if you think of it like, like a country instead of a technology. What the leaders of these | ||
| companies are saying what you know, Dario and Sam and Dennis are all saying when we talk about | ||
| artificial general intelligence, it's not a marketing term. | ||
| It's a general thing that they believe in. | ||
| They believe that they have a chance of building a generally intelligent, kind of synthetic intelligence with the creativity of a human that runs at machine speed. | ||
| And that is a completely world-changing thing if any of us succeed. | ||
| The big disagreement I had with Ray is I think after you get human-level AGI, I think you're only a few years from superintelligence. | ||
| And he said human-level AGI 2029, singularity 2045. | ||
| But I think his curve fitting is overfit to having humans do the invention. | ||
| Like, I think once AGI is doing the invention, The exponential growth curve becomes bigger and I think it only will be a few years from a human level AGI to a super AGI because that human level AGI will be able to program and invent new chips and invent new forms of networking and so forth. | ||
| It seems like it should be able to upgrade itself pretty rapidly. | ||
| Some call it transhumanism, some call it technocracy. | ||
| There are all kinds of new terms for it. | ||
| Accelerationism, effective altruism, optimalism, long-termism. | ||
| Don't get hung up on all these names. | ||
| Just know that, like all religious worlds, there is diversity there. | ||
| But my favorite term is cyborg theocracy. | ||
| Good evening. It is Thursday, October 3rd in the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||
| I am Joe Allen sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon, who remains a political prisoner, but not much longer. | ||
| He'll be out soon, God willing, and when he comes back, you can be sure he's going to be breathing fire. | ||
| Hopefully, he won't be breathing fire about my own hijinks. | ||
| You saw there a Talk that I just gave in Dallas, Texas. | ||
| Cyborg theocracy, the rise of digital deities. | ||
| If you want to watch the whole thing, be sure to head over to my site, jobot.xyz. | ||
| Now, cyborg theocracy, what is that? | ||
| Of course, it is a society that is run effectively by priests. | ||
| And the cyborg element is... | ||
| That you have a priesthood that interprets the machine. | ||
| They determine the programming. | ||
| They determine the parameters. | ||
| And it lends itself to these sorts of metaphors of AI as a disembodied spirit, AI as a god, whether it's a little g god or Or in the most ambitious iterations, a big G god. | ||
| Now, there are other less ambitious metaphors or analogies for artificial intelligence. | ||
| You have the analogy with the organism, so that many of these people believe that artificial intelligence and robotics is a kind of new life form, or at the very least, An extension of the human body or the human brain. | ||
| And so you saw there Mark Zuckerberg with his new Orion spectacles. | ||
| And the idea is that these will be a new perceptual window, not unlike the eye and the brain, | ||
| but augmented so that the human being is no longer just the biological organism that it | ||
| once was. | ||
| The human being then becomes something new. | ||
| And we've seen this already with smartphones go back a step, personal computers go back | ||
| a step, televisions, radios, so on and so forth. | ||
| They see it going forward to the point that these devices will become a part of us in | ||
| And of course we know Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, many others are working on technologies to put them right in the brain. | ||
| You also heard Jack Clark of Anthropic. | ||
| Anthropic is one of the leading companies working on artificial general intelligence. | ||
| And he describes artificial intelligence as simulated humans. | ||
| An entire nation of humans. | ||
| An entire nation or many nations of humans that are poised to invade our world. | ||
| Already, artificial intelligence is being integrated into education, into many corporations, government agencies. | ||
| You see it integrated into the medical system. | ||
| You see it integrated into the military. | ||
| All the most important sectors of society, artificial intelligence, is becoming a partner, as they describe it, or an invader, as I would describe it. | ||
| You have Sam Altman promising that GPT-5 will be at the level of a PhD degree. | ||
| That means that 99% of all human minds, at least according to Altman's and other transhuman paradigms, these people will become obsolete. | ||
| human thinking will become obsolete in the face of these machines. | ||
| Bringing us back to the metaphor of artificial intelligence as a little g god, a superhuman | ||
| entity with not just intellectual authority, right? | ||
| It's the authority in any given subject matter and its word should be trusted above most, | ||
| if not all, humans, but you have many people who want to position AI as an actual decision | ||
| maker and actual authority, most likely not over those who create it and deploy it, but | ||
| undoubtedly over those whom the people who create and deploy these systems believe to | ||
| be inferior to the machine. | ||
| Now, a lot of things are going to come into play that determine whether or not this civilizational transformation happens at all or happens in the way that they are promising. | ||
| The first is whether or not these systems actually produce the sorts of answers and accurate views of reality that we're being told they will. | ||
| The other though, and this is where our choice comes in, the other is will we adopt it? | ||
| Will we turn over our minds to the machine? | ||
| So ask yourself always, as these technologies are pushed in your face and into the faces of your children, Do I trust these technologies? | ||
| Do I trust the people who create them? | ||
| Do I trust the people who deploy them? | ||
| Can I trust my child's education to a machine? | ||
| Can I trust my own health to a machine? | ||
| These are going to be very difficult questions. | ||
| I'm not going to answer them for you, but I will say you should always, always be suspicious Of what the underlying motivation of these technologies and the corporate structure around them, what are the motivations? | ||
| Are they to help you truly? | ||
| Or are they to subjugate you and obliviate your value? | ||
| The same questions are going to be asked about the border. | ||
| Can I trust these machines to Secure our borders because you already have drone technologies and various sensor technologies and, of course, DNA testing to regulate immigration. | ||
| You also have the question, do I trust machines to fight my wars for me? | ||
| Do we turn over the power of life and death, the power to kill, to machines? | ||
| And last but not least, do we trust machines to interpret reality for us? | ||
| That brings us to our friend John Kerry. | ||
| If Denver will just roll this and we will bring in the great Tim Hinchlip of the sociable. | ||
| And I think the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing. | ||
| And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue. | ||
| It's really hard to govern today. | ||
| The referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact have been eviscerated to a certain degree. | ||
| And people self-select where they go for their news or for their information. | ||
| And then you just get into a vicious cycle. | ||
| So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45-50 years I've been involved in this. | ||
| But look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick, and has an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence. | ||
| So what we need is to... | ||
| It's to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change. | ||
| Quite a disturbing tone that John Kerry is striking there. | ||
| You have already the problem of, can you trust human beings to interpret reality? | ||
| Increasingly, can you trust machines? | ||
| Can you trust John Kerry and the various democratic and global institutions that he puts forward | ||
| as a solution to these problems? | ||
| To talk about this, we have Tim Hinchliffe of The Sociable. | ||
| He's been following not only John Kerry's appearance there at the World Economic Forum, | ||
| but a number of other situations and issues around this. | ||
| Please tell us what is John Kerry saying to us here. | ||
| Is he saying to abolish the First Amendment, or is he just saying secure the government, even though all these proles are being able to think and speak for themselves? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. Well, first, thanks again for having me on. | |
| It's a pleasure. I don't think that John Kerry is calling to abolish the First Amendment. | ||
| There can be a lot of workarounds, and I can kind of go through it a little bit. | ||
| So, you know, what he said was, I mean, this question, it was during a session called It's Not Easy Trading Green at the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Meetings last Wednesday, last week. | ||
| So the question was just, can you expand on the role of tackling climate misinformation? | ||
| So that's what it's kind of geared towards and what that means for the marketplace. | ||
| And so when he says that it's hard to govern and that democracies struggle with consensus and the referees are eviscerated, Yeah, because it's not like the good old days, you know, when you got Walter Cronkite out there and this is the news as it was and this is what happened and all that. | ||
| They don't have those, you know, just a handful or less than a handful of channels in the media at least putting out information. | ||
| It's hard to govern because, you know, now we have a lot more information out there. | ||
| Some people will say it's an infodemic because there's so much information that we actually do nowadays get to self-select our news and info, like he says. | ||
| You know, in the future, maybe that will be taken over by machines, the AI, as you kind of alluded to earlier, because there's gonna be so much information that we don't know what to deal with. | ||
| On the term of, you know, how to curb disinformation, when he talks about if you go to one source and that source is sick and has an agenda and is putting out disinformation, well, he is describing himself. | ||
| I mean, he's describing the World Economic Forum. | ||
| He's describing the United Nations. | ||
| is describing the World Health Organization, who always want to be single sources of information. | ||
| And it's as if they are, like you talk about the cyborg theocracy, | ||
| but this is like kind of the science after they declared we own the science two years ago, | ||
| at the very same meeting, by the way, two years ago. | ||
| So, you know, when they said, vaccinate the world, or when Klaus Schwab said, nobody will be safe | ||
| if not everyone is vaccinated. | ||
| Or when they say the polar ice caps are melting and that all these places are gonna be underwater, | ||
| or that, you know, by 2014, Mount Kilimanjaro was supposed to have no more snow. | ||
| Then you start to see what kind of misinformation, disinformation is being put out there. | ||
| And so... When Kerry says we need to win the ground, we need to win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to implement change about hammering disinformation out of existence, what I think is that if I were an unelected globalist, narcissist, megalomaniac, drunk on power, I would look for what kind of loopholes are already in place when it comes to free speech, at least in the United States. | ||
| Maybe you talk about it as ecocide. | ||
| So if you say something that goes against this climate agenda, you're actually threatening to kill the planet. | ||
| And there's things that, you know, you can't threaten to kill people. | ||
| That's kind of in a gray zone there. | ||
| And then also, if you go against what this kind of, you talk about priesthood, you know, and technology, well, the science and climate. | ||
| So, you know, these IPCC documents, these are kind of like biblical religious texts, the institutions themselves, like the churches, the temples, the synagogues, the mosques. | ||
| So, if you are committing ecocide or threatening to commit ecocide, you're also, what are you doing? | ||
| You're defaming these institutions who own the science. | ||
| So, that's how I'd go after it if I were an unelected globus. | ||
| I'd go after it in these other ways of saying, okay, how can we attack speech in this way, at least through government? | ||
| If it's not through government, Go through those institutions, UN, WEF themselves, to put out the information themselves and then partner, like they always do, with big tech companies and just have them do the bidding for them. | ||
| There's many different ways to go about it. | ||
| Kerry also said that democracies can't move fast enough and they're not big enough to deal with these kinds of challenges. | ||
| And that they're struggling with an absence of a sort of truth arbiter because no one can define what the facts really are. | ||
| So what's that going to be in the future? | ||
| Is it going to be those institutions? | ||
| Is it going to be the AI? And if it is going to be the AI, what kind of data, as you were alluding to earlier, is being fed into those systems? | ||
| Garbage in, garbage out. | ||
| So those are the kind of areas I see that being pulled into. | ||
| You know, something you highlight there that really, really rustles my jimmies is that We have, of course, there's a problem with disinformation. | ||
| There always has been. There have always been lies. | ||
| There's been propaganda for the entirety of the modern world. | ||
| But these people who are positioning themselves to be the arbiters of truth, they have lied to us consistently. | ||
| And even when it was an honest mistake, they refused to accept accountability for it. | ||
| So at this point, I think that the best... | ||
| Possible outcome would be to uplift and educate the populace so they're able to better understand what is and isn't real. | ||
| But as we were talking about yesterday, you already have various programs to kind of cultivate public consciousness in a very, very direct way. | ||
| The UN partnered with TikTok. | ||
| To put influencers forward, right? | ||
| To cultivate reality. | ||
| Tell us a little bit about that. You've got an article up right now on Dissociable. | ||
| Tell us about it, Tim. Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this isn't the first—so this was just last week as well. | |
| So it's the World Health Organization, which is part of the UN, of course. | ||
| They just partnered with TikTok to only put out basically the propaganda arm of the United Nations, and they've done this before. | ||
| But with this latest announcement—so if you look at the TikTok press release, they all talk about, oh, we're trying to encourage mental health. | ||
| It's all about mental health and getting rid of stigmas and stuff. | ||
| If you go to the World Health Organization press release, which I've linked both of them in the article, it just says a variety of health issues and well-being in general. | ||
| So what the World Health Organization is doing in partnering with TikTok is that they're going to train influencers in how to deliver best messaging that's only approved by the WHO and the United Nations. | ||
| And they're doing this through a network called the Fides Network, F-I-D-E-S. And it consists of some 800 creators, It was launched in 2020 to get rid of misinformation during the pandemic, if you want to call it that. | ||
| And now they say they've got 150 million users across various platforms. | ||
| So yeah, it's just basically to put out more propaganda. | ||
| But it wasn't the first time that the UN partnered with TikTok. | ||
| Again, going back to the same meeting two years ago of the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, that's when Melissa Fleming, the Global Communications Director at the UN, said, we own the science. | ||
| She also talked about how they partnered with TikTok and other platforms on something called Team Halo, which was the exact same thing because she said that when we... | ||
| Reached out to influencers and we gave doctors and scientists their little ticks, little blue ticks, so they get more recognition. | ||
| We found, she said, that people paid more attention to them and found them more trustworthy than any messaging that came from the United Nations in New York. | ||
| So it's just another continuation of that. | ||
| So they think they own the science, they believe they own the science, and the platforms as well. | ||
| And so this is just It's also going on what happened at the Summit of the Future last week as well, or yeah, week and a half last week, when they were talking about information integrity. | ||
| Melissa Fleming was on a panel, one of the side panels once again, lamenting all this information stuff. | ||
| And what they want to do is stomp it out in the name of the Sustainable Development Goals. | ||
| And so this partnership, TikTok, The Who, United Nations, it all fits together. | ||
| It goes with the Pact of the Future, the Summit of the Future. | ||
| It goes with All these ways to stamp out this information on climate change and health and all of that. | ||
| So it's just one big coordinated effort. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, we just saw with the entire tenant media scandal, all this outrage over a handful of influencers who were loosely connected to a Russian influence operation. | ||
| And yet here you have a Chinese-owned app, TikTok, You have an international organization, the WHO, which, by the way, good fact check. | ||
| See, this is how reality comes about as best we can, not the UN, the WHO. So you have this international organization, the WHO, And it's largely paid for by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which, you know, ostensibly is American, although they oftentimes behave otherwise. | ||
| I just I find the hypocrisy around this just so galling. | ||
| Tim, please let us know where can we find your article on the WHO and TikTok? | ||
| And what are you working on right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, thanks. Yeah, you can find it right at sociable.co. | |
| It's right up there in the front. | ||
| And you can also follow on Twitter, X, at the sociable or at Tim Hinchliff. | ||
| But right now, I was just about to publish another story on the World Economic Forum and how they're pushing the eat the bugs agenda and alternative proteins. | ||
| And what they're actually doing now in one of the latest reports is Saying that they're doing it in incremental steps to reduce meat consumption and while this whole bug-eating alternative fake meat-cultivated lab-grown crap is going to take over in little increments, just like the move from cash to a cashless society in programmable digital currencies is happening. | ||
| So that's coming in little incremental steps until it gradually gets phased out. | ||
| That's what I'm working on at the moment. | ||
| Fantastic. Excellent work, Tim. | ||
| Very good to speak with you again. | ||
| Look forward to talking to you soon. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All right, Posse, welcome back. | ||
| You know, there are only a few things that keep me up at night, sometimes regrets about the past, sometimes nightmarish visions of a dystopian technological future in which AIs have taken over everything and are eating me slowly from my toes up to my brain. | ||
| But the thing that really keeps me up at night is coffee. | ||
| And if you want to support the War Room, go to warpath.coffee, promo code Bannon, get yourself a big ol' sack of beans, brew it up, and you too can join me in the spiritual realm fretting about the future, regretting the past, but doing it with full alertness. | ||
| And just chattering teeth. | ||
| Warpath.coffee, promo code BANNON. And before we come to our next two guests, we have TJ Harker coming up and Grace Chong. | ||
| But I want to give a shout out to our friend Zarathustra at Czarnik.com. | ||
| You can see there on the screen, you see a lot of my clips with all these egghead geeks talking about what the future is going to be. | ||
| A lot of times I get my inspiration from Zarathustra. | ||
| This guy is a machine. | ||
| He may actually be a machine. | ||
| And if you want to keep up with what they say about technology, I highly recommend following Zarathustra. | ||
| Now, if you want to hear about geeks and eggheads, go there. | ||
| If you want to hear about actual human beings, actual men of accomplishment, maybe you want | ||
| to ask our boy T.J. | ||
| Harker, former federal prosecutor and now a very prolific writer. | ||
| His new piece is up at Man's World, and he also has his own sub stack as well as appearances | ||
| on American Mind, The Federalist, Blaze, and so on. | ||
| TJ Harker, welcome, and tell us about your new piece up at Man's World. | ||
| Hopefully it will make any girly men in the posse a bit envious or at least motivated to become real men. | ||
| Not that there are many girly men out in the war room posse, but please, sir, the floor is yours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, thanks for having me on, Joe. | |
| So, you know, look, I think right now a lot of Americans are finally waking up to the fact that we are sort of ruled by this cadre of so-called elites and their Mandarin servants who simply do not possess the technical competence to do more or less anything other than narrative control and propaganda. | ||
| We've been living off of our accumulated wealth for so long that their technical incompetence was disguised from us because we simply had a tremendous amount of wealth. | ||
| For decades, the infrastructure was in good place, in good condition. | ||
| The armed forces were robust and powerful and so forth. | ||
| But now we're sort of running on fumes, and that technical incompetence is becoming apparent across a wide array of domains. | ||
| And frankly, it's simply ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, if you look at FEMA's response most recently in North Carolina, that response has been grossly inadequate. | ||
| They lack the funding, they lack the personnel, and of course, they lack the technical competence to do what they're supposed to do, which is to help Americans. | ||
| One of the reasons they lack the money is because they spent hundreds of millions of dollars this year helping illegal aliens. | ||
| In addition, the Department of Defense is incompetent. | ||
| The intelligence community is incompetent. | ||
| They won't let us know yet, but it's coming. | ||
| Ukraine is losing the war, despite the hundreds of billions of dollars that we have sent to Ukraine. | ||
| They're incompetent in that respect. | ||
| The Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve are incompetent. | ||
| Our debt is out of control. | ||
| We have incredible borrowing costs now. | ||
| The currency is out of control. | ||
| Prices are up. Energy costs are up. | ||
| Healthcare costs are up. Insurance costs are up. | ||
| Grocery costs are up. | ||
| Everything in this infrastructure is falling apart, whether it's You know, from the roads to the high-tension power lines to our ability to produce energy, the leaders at the top of this administrative bureaucracy simply lack the expertise to do what they need to do, and Americans are starting to pay the price financially and in material suffering terms. | ||
| You know, this competency crisis that we're suffering under, and I run into it all the time. | ||
| I mean, I drive these roads all the time, and I have yet to see one that doesn't have potholes like we're rolling across the surface of Mars. | ||
| What is this about? | ||
| I mean, a lot of conspiracy theorists would say that this incompetence is just a smokescreen for the super geniuses behind the scenes. | ||
| But I think that the idea of super genius villains is actually quite comforting. | ||
| That would mean somebody was in control. | ||
| If it's just a bunch of dum-dums, then, well, now what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. You know, what's interesting about—one, there is no supervillain. | |
| There are people whose interests are coordinated, and they are doing everything they can to sort of extract the last vestiges of wealth from America and from various countries across the globe. | ||
| Most of these people are part of the lobbying sort of gold-collar class that live in and around Washington, D.C., New York, and San Francisco and so forth. | ||
| They're sort of a parasitic extractive class. | ||
| They would not exist but for the fiat currency that exists in the United States, and they can extract value through that system. | ||
| But that's a different conversation. | ||
| The fact of the matter is that the technical competence that does exist I mean, again, back to the FEMA example in North Carolina, Pete Buttigieg is grossly incompetent. | ||
| He has absolutely no experience—the Secretary of Transportation has no experience in logistics or transportation. | ||
| He was unable to do anything about the port jam of Los Angeles last year and two years ago. | ||
| He is unable to do anything helpful in connection with the port strikes across the entire East Coast of the United States. | ||
| It's ridiculous that he would be in this position. | ||
| It's laughable that he would be able to do anything to help the people of North Carolina. | ||
| Western North Carolina. | ||
| At the same time, veterans, churches, small businesses, Americans, real Americans, are actually doing things like actually delivering foodstuffs, food supplies, water, conducting rescue missions, even flight operations, despite the fact that the federal government is incompetent to do this, or really in spite of the obstacles thrown up by the federal government. | ||
| So the thing to realize here is We are entering a new era. | ||
| The era of sort of big government centralized control during which, you know, administrative bureaucracies could come in and do massive things on behalf of massive nation states is ending, and it is not going to come back. | ||
| Instead, we're going to return to a local or more localized or regional attempt to solve problems because these problems are so variegated and because, quite simply, the people at the top do not have the confidence to do it. | ||
| On the other hand, the regular Americans do have that confidence. | ||
| And one other thing I'd point out, just one last point. | ||
| At the beginning of the 20th century, the progressive era was introduced in the United States. | ||
| And with progressivism was this idea that technocratic rule by experts, elite technocracy, could replace constitutional republicanism and self-governance by regular people like you and me. | ||
| We were a problem. We were an obstacle to that technocratic government. | ||
| And so, over the course of the next 100 years, they did away with our constitutional form of republican government. | ||
| And in its place, we were supposed to get technocratic competence, administrative capacity, and capability. | ||
| Instead, we lost our form of constitutional republicanism, and we didn't get the technical competence. | ||
| We got neither. So it's ironic, of course, that the heirs of the progressive movement of the early 20th century today are the woke totalitarians, and they are radically incompetent at everything except narrative control and propaganda. | ||
| You just published an article on your Substack about that very problem of the kind of woke totalitarianism, this decentralized system of blue-haired and man-bun dummies. | ||
| What's the title of the piece, Get Your Ears Ready, War Room Posse, and what is that one about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think you're referring to the article called The Rape of Jackson Reffitt's Mind. | |
| Is that the article you're referring to? | ||
| That's the one. Yeah, that's the one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Jackson Refit is the son of Guy Refit. | |
| Guy Refit was an electoral justice protester who showed up at the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| And was subsequently prosecuted by a weaponized Department of Justice that has lost all sense of prudence, moderation, and decency. | ||
| He was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. | ||
| Guy Reffet was. As it turns out, the reason that he was prosecuted in part was because the Department of Justice and, you know, more or less the totalitarian society that is proffered and promoted by academia and all the sort of elite cultural institutions put a tremendous amount of pressure on his son, Jackson Reffet, Who, at the age of 18 years old, reported his father to the FBI and then later testified at trial against his own father, alienating himself from his sister and his mother. | ||
| This is not what healthy societies do. | ||
| This is what totalitarian dictatorships do. | ||
| They put pressure, political pressure, on families to turn against themselves. | ||
| And so that's the type of thing that's happening in the United States of America. | ||
| That's a good example of what I mean by the one area of technical confidence that this ruling elite has is in the field of narrative control and propaganda, brainwashing, which is essential to maintaining their totalitarian grip on power. | ||
| At the same time, they can't do basic things like rescue regular Americans who go to work for a living, pay taxes, and reside in the western mountains of North Carolina. | ||
| Yeah, you know, it's very, very perverse. | ||
| It's very children of the damned. | ||
| And people in the war room posse have been right at the tip of the spear on this as far as the January 6th prisoners, as far as the federal government's weaponization against us. | ||
| And I also sympathize with many, I mean, communication with many people in the posse whose children and grandchildren have taken the same turn. | ||
| TJ, where can we find the new article at Man's World? | ||
| Where can we find your substack? | ||
| And what do you got coming up for us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. So Man's World is a great publication. | |
| It's put together by a raw egg nationalist. | ||
| I recommend it to everybody. | ||
| You can also find my substack. | ||
| You can just go to tjharker.com. | ||
| The full name is Amicus Republici or Friend of the Republic, but tjharker.com will get you there. | ||
| I'm working on a bunch of different things right now. | ||
| One of them, I think I'm going to entitle it, Your Pronouns Are... | ||
| It's going to be world class. | ||
| And it's going to be about the opposite end of the spectrum of the opposite side from the ruling elite. | ||
| It's going to be about the regular Americans We actually know how to do things like string high-tension power lines, rescue people in dire need, give food to them, keep the roads paved, take care of children in pediatric clinics, keep the churches functioning, and so forth. | ||
| Because this country, to the extent that it is still functioning, is functioning for one reason and one reason only, and that is because regular Americans are making it function. | ||
| All right. T.J. Harker, thank you very much, sir, for coming by. | ||
| We look forward to seeing you again. | ||
| Godspeed and God bless. | ||
| Thanks, Joe. So, I am not a political person, as you know. | ||
| I am very cynical about politics, but I have to say the debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walls at least gave me some inspiration. | ||
| J.D. Vance, if nothing else, is a very competent guy, and he slayed Walls. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| Outside of that fanboying, that's all you're going to get out of me. | ||
| He is a fellow hillbilly. | ||
| We have to do everything possible to get people out to the polls. | ||
| Here to talk about that is the lovely Grace Chong. | ||
| Grace, how do we get them out there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are we going to do? Hi, Joe. | |
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| So there's 33 days left, and I was on last night with Dave Bratt on Battlegrounds. | ||
| And we started a War Room Posse Get Out to Vote campaign where every single Posse member texts, calls, or sends postcards to at least 10 to 20 people a day from now until the election time. | ||
| So yesterday I sent 50 text messages, so I'm hoping that all of you guys did too. | ||
| And it took me only about 10 minutes. | ||
| But before we get into that, make sure you're registered to vote. | ||
| Check the last day to register in your state and when early voting starts. | ||
| Don't wait until the last minute and have a plan because, for example, Arizona, the last day to register is this coming Monday, October 7th, and then early voting starts on October 9th, that Wednesday, and there's no same-day registration on Election Day in Arizona. | ||
| So make sure to plan ahead. | ||
| So going back to the War Room Posse Get Out to Vote campaign, you should have started this already yesterday, but it's for all the posse members to call, text, send postcards to at least 10 to 20 people every single day. | ||
| And actually writing postcards and handwriting these postcards and letters Are actually better. | ||
| So people are getting inundated with text messages and phone calls and they tend to ignore it. | ||
| So writing these personalized letters actually have become so much more effective and it gives that personal touch. | ||
| So I just really encourage you guys to really think about doing it and just do it. | ||
| So anyway, the apps that you want to use, it's early vote action. | ||
| The TP Action app and the Nevada GOP app. | ||
| They're so easy to use. | ||
| You can text, call, send postcards, register people to vote on these apps too. | ||
| And they're all really similar. | ||
| But what is very critical, mission critical, is battleground states. | ||
| So for early vote action, you can target Pennsylvania voters, but it's not limited to Pennsylvania. | ||
| Just like a TP Action app, you can target Arizona voters, but you can also do voters around you. | ||
| Nevada is specifically for Nevada, but you don't have to live in Nevada to use the app. | ||
| In fact, anyone from any state can use any of these apps, and so this is your mission to download this app right now if you haven't and start calling, texting, sending postcards. | ||
| I just want to explain. | ||
| So these apps, they have send calls, send texts, send postcard tabs that provide pre-written scripts. | ||
| And with the send postcards, they have the addresses. | ||
| And so you can just easily get started. | ||
| If you want to write your own message letter, you can include things like why this election matters, remind them their vote counts, Mention key candidate policies, you know, Trump versus Harris. | ||
| Encourage them to make a voting plan. | ||
| Include key dates like registration and early voting and thank them for being involved. | ||
| So one of the questions I've gotten is where can we get postcards? | ||
| You can call the Trump Force 47 in your state or your state GOP for postcards and see if they're available. | ||
| If not, just buy and make your own. | ||
| They're super cheap and it will go a long way. | ||
| So I want to take this time to just give a really quick shout out to Posse members Nicole, Matt Zimmerman, and Ben. | ||
| They've been force multipliers and they have been registering and sending postcards. | ||
| Follow them on Twitter X and reach out to them with any questions, using the app or any questions about the best way to send a postcard. | ||
| They are there for you. | ||
| They're awesome. Please reach out to them. | ||
| And just want to say, even if you send just one postcard, send one text, one call, and that's it, Do it, because every vote counts. | ||
| Okay, so now, just for general questions, I want to mention JoJo, War Rooms Grassroots Liaison. | ||
| Her info is on the screen. | ||
| Yes. So I want to make sure if you guys have any general questions, she will answer them, or if she doesn't know, she will find the answer for you. | ||
| So that's her Twitter handle, Ann Getter, and also her email. | ||
| And she loves getting questions and emails, so please reach out to her. | ||
| We're all here for you guys. | ||
| I just want to say this audience, War Room Posse, you guys are all amazing. | ||
| You guys are the ones that took down a Speaker of the House, first time ever in history. | ||
| You guys are powerful. | ||
| Together, we are unstoppable. | ||
| So please make sure to download these apps, send postcards, talk to your neighbors, friends, family, host a party, pizza party on the weekend and write postcards together. | ||
| You know, do a wine night and do it. | ||
| Anything you can do from now, every single day, at least 10 to 20 people, that is what Steve wants, 100%. | ||
| And lastly, Joe, I know I scared you last time because he saw my hit, I think it was last week, and he texted me saying, shoot, I'm not sure if I registered. | ||
| So did you register? | ||
| Did you make sure you're registered? | ||
| I'm on it. You know, Grace, in our last minute here together, I just have to say that You've been so friendly and sweet. | ||
| Your disposition is so sunny. | ||
| I'm starting to wonder if you have some kind of mischievous bot that runs your Twitter account because these are two different people. | ||
| What's going on? Well... | ||
| Okay, wait, but I've really toned it down. | ||
| Remember, I promised Steve that I would be on my best behavior while he's away, so I wouldn't get anybody in trouble. | ||
| You know, the worst thing for him to find out is, you know, read an article and, oh, War Room, Grace Chong, you know, started... | ||
| No. So I promised him I would be good. | ||
| So if you think that is, hit me up on Twitter, at GC22GC, and... | ||
| I'm actually just giving a lot of information, so I'll be back to my normal self when Steve's back out. | ||
| Lauren Posse, hold her to it, and get out there and vote. | ||
| Write your postcards. | ||
| Thank you very much. Godspeed. | ||
