00:00:00.000 Talk about this case, because this is actually the case that's going to happen.
00:00:03.960 No, I think that's right.
00:00:04.800 And again, I do think it gets short shrift because the facts are so salacious and it's so lascivious.
00:00:10.300 But it is a species of election interference.
00:00:13.300 And Alvin Bragg has consistently talked about it in that tenor.
00:00:16.720 This is like the lead up to what we see on January 6th.
00:00:21.120 It's the dress rehearsal, keeping information from the voting public in order to maximize or optimize your chances for election.
00:00:29.020 And again, to do anything to win.
00:00:31.980 And you see that again happening on January 6th.
00:00:34.960 So again, I think the two cases actually run together and we dismiss or poo-poo this case to our detriment.
00:00:40.680 Even though we have had a thousand and one would-be authoritarian leaders in this country,
00:00:44.560 guys who imagined and plotted and promised an overthrow of the U.S. system of government,
00:00:48.660 we have never before had someone with that ambition who also has the use of one of our two major political parties to get him there.
00:00:59.020 And so it's a different kind of danger, right?
00:01:01.960 I mean, it's a different kind of danger.
00:01:03.920 It's dangerous because it means the power and the institutional heft and the legitimacy of a massive American political institution
00:01:13.400 is now being brought to bear on this project that has always before now been, yes, radical and worrying and sometimes quite violent,
00:01:21.920 but it wasn't going to win what has always been a fringe project before now.
00:01:30.080 In America today, if the polls are to be believed, it's now a cause and a candidate that is likely to win.
00:01:37.100 And it's not because the American people have never heard that sales pitch, right?
00:01:41.900 It's not because we, the American people, have never heard the siren song of a guy proclaiming the virtues of a new America,
00:01:48.780 but there's finally a man in charge and nothing's going to get in his way.
00:01:51.620 We've heard this a million times from a million crazy-eyed weirdos, right?
00:01:55.740 It's only likely to win now because of the Republican Party,
00:02:00.240 because people in so-called normal politics have laundered it, have laundered this sales pitch to make it seem like a good choice.
00:02:09.460 They've lent their own credibility to even the craziest parts of it.
00:02:14.260 I mean, they didn't just stick around for the policy.
00:02:16.300 They didn't just stick around for the potentially normal parts of it.
00:02:19.220 They stuck around with it and stayed on board and pitched in to help when push came to shove, when we got to the violent part.
00:02:25.280 Today, one of Donald Trump's fans, I guess we're assuming while he was in court,
00:02:29.180 because our reporters saw him in court, he was not typing, but someone posted to his Truth Social something comparing him to Jesus the Christ.
00:02:37.640 And this is the week before Easter weekend, is this coming weekend.
00:02:41.880 And they compare him to Jesus.
00:02:43.120 And they quote the Psalms 109 in the New King James Version.
00:02:47.480 But I think there's a few lines that they might have missed.
00:02:49.660 It says, let an accuser stand in his right hand.
00:02:51.640 When he is judged, let him be found guilty.
00:02:54.880 It says, let his children continually be vagabonds and beg.
00:02:57.820 Let the creditor seize all that he has.
00:03:00.580 Let his posterity be cut off.
00:03:02.360 In the generation following, let their name be blotted out.
00:03:04.980 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord.
00:03:07.880 And why?
00:03:09.020 Because he did not remember to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man.
00:03:13.560 Don't mess with a former Sunday school teacher on the Bible.
00:03:16.600 The biggest sin in the Bible is persecuting the poor and the immigrant.
00:03:20.520 To quote that and not actually know the Bible, probably a little bit of an error on the part of his fans.
00:03:25.520 Lose track of what Christianity is meant to be about.
00:03:28.400 Love and forgiveness at its core, at its core, you know, in the Bible.
00:03:33.740 And you are there, they're comparing someone who is not loving, who is not forgiving, who's a vicious racist.
00:03:41.040 And he's trying to torch the Constitution.
00:03:45.000 He is the last person on earth who should be compared to any religious figure, much less Jesus Christ.
00:03:50.680 And I say that as an agnostic.
00:03:53.460 And it's a measure, I think, of, I think, some of the cultish qualities that cling to Trumpism.
00:04:01.660 Which is, you'll compare him to anyone you worship because you worship him.
00:04:05.500 And in that process, you look past all of his horrors.
00:04:12.040 The person who is the head of the Republican Party during Donald Trump's time in office and during his effort to throw out the election result and stay in power anyway,
00:04:21.280 and during his effort to run for election again after having done that, is Ronna Romney McDaniel.
00:04:30.580 And she pitched in and helped.
00:04:36.580 She helped set in motion the part of the plot that involved sending fake Trump electors to Congress from states that Trump did not win.
00:04:45.140 So Republicans in Washington could use those fake, fraudulent elector slates to contend that maybe Trump did win those states, even though he didn't.
00:04:54.980 And don't believe me on that.
00:04:57.060 There she is on page 23 and page 27 of the federal indictment charging Donald Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States.
00:05:04.200 There's her personal appearance in this scene of the crime, as alleged by the U.S. Justice Department, in this ongoing criminal case.
00:05:12.120 In Michigan, where the fake electors are themselves now on trial, she told the state of Michigan in writing explicitly, do not certify the election results.
00:05:23.820 The Detroit News has reported that with Donald Trump on the phone with her, she directed Michigan election officials to not certify the vote.
00:05:32.440 She told them, quote, do not sign it.
00:05:36.140 We will get you lawyers.
00:05:40.260 She pitched in.
00:05:41.960 She was part of the project.
00:05:44.080 And what was the project?
00:05:45.780 It was to use the power of the Republican Party, Republican officials in the states, Republican officeholders in Washington,
00:05:52.160 the national Republican Party that she runs, to use the party's power to reject election results, to take over the government and hold power by other means.
00:06:02.360 And this project is now ongoing, right?
00:06:05.660 Now the project is to tell the American people that those efforts around the 2020 election were righteous.
00:06:13.800 That 2020 election, it wasn't OK.
00:06:17.020 Those election results were not correct.
00:06:19.140 We shouldn't believe American elections.
00:06:20.900 We shouldn't believe American elections are real elections.
00:06:24.340 American election results should not be seen as real.
00:06:27.360 They should not be respected.
00:06:28.860 That's the project now, right?
00:06:30.380 I mean, it didn't work to overthrow the government the last time.
00:06:32.460 But as long as you can build on that first effort, as long as you can keep up the anti-election mythology,
00:06:38.280 then you are priming your people.
00:06:41.340 You're priming the American public to not accept the results of the next election either.
00:06:45.760 You're telling them that they're going to need to take power by other means because the election isn't going to be how we do it anymore.
00:06:54.100 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:07:03.660 Pray for our enemies.
00:07:05.640 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:07:08.940 I got a free shot.
00:07:10.240 All these networks lying about the people.
00:07:13.240 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:07:15.140 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:07:16.560 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that.
00:07:18.320 But you're not going to stop it.
00:07:19.260 It's going to happen.
00:07:20.320 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:07:23.940 MAGA Media.
00:07:25.280 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:07:30.720 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:07:34.460 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:07:40.840 War Room.
00:07:41.680 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:07:44.080 Tuesday, 26th of March, Year of Our Lord, 2024.
00:07:52.740 It is Tuesday of Holy Week.
00:07:55.140 We have a lot of very special things planned, special guests, all of it.
00:08:01.540 But there's a lot of work to get to also.
00:08:03.760 You see right there, Rachel Maddow's one thing.
00:08:06.580 But she's information warfare.
00:08:08.560 She's the brains of the operation on the propaganda side for the neo-Marxist crazed left.
00:08:17.440 And, you know, they only roll her out once a week because she didn't really want to take ownership of the Biden regime.
00:08:22.140 You saw that early on.
00:08:23.060 She wanted out to go, you know, write her West Wing equivalents.
00:08:27.440 Other, you know, happy talk nonsense like that.
00:08:29.940 But she's laying it out exactly how they're trying to position it in the minds of the American people.
00:08:35.260 That we don't believe in elections and we're teeing it up.
00:08:38.040 No, we don't.
00:08:38.820 We know the 2020 election was stolen.
00:08:41.260 So suck on that, Rachel.
00:08:42.820 The 2020 election was stolen.
00:08:45.380 Everybody knows it.
00:08:46.860 And we, this show has been blocked everywhere.
00:08:49.720 Okay.
00:08:50.500 It's been blocked everywhere.
00:08:52.360 Everywhere.
00:08:52.760 And we're still a juggernaut in 63% at a minimum of the, of primary voters, Republican, which are the, which are people that really drive the party.
00:09:06.980 Understand that Joe Biden's illegitimate.
00:09:09.560 I keep saying this is the original sin of current politics.
00:09:13.400 You can't get, you got to talk about the future.
00:09:16.100 We are talking about the future.
00:09:18.100 We're talking about the future of sealing the boat.
00:09:20.120 Look at everything they're doing to destroy our country.
00:09:22.760 You know what?
00:09:24.140 The lived experience.
00:09:24.820 Why do you think these numbers are shifting so rapidly in the battleground states?
00:09:29.600 Now, Axis got some polls up today.
00:09:31.920 Oh, Biden may be closing.
00:09:33.160 It's all nonsense.
00:09:33.960 You look at the cross tabs, that coalition of the Democratic Party.
00:09:38.800 They hate him because he's made their lives a living hell.
00:09:43.540 The bottom 50% of this nation are, you know, living essentially like Russian serfs.
00:09:48.660 It's not going to get any better.
00:09:49.980 The way they continue to, the way the elites in this country continue to have the fiscal irresponsibility in Washington, D.C.
00:09:57.300 and the monetary irresponsibility at the Federal Reserve and the big money center banks.
00:10:02.360 It's a system set up to, to increase their power and increase their wealth.
00:10:05.680 So why, they're going to continue doing it until you take power away from them.
00:10:10.180 And it's not going to be the running dogs of Rachel Maddow in this crowd, their protectors.
00:10:16.700 No, we're not saying if the elections don't count.
00:10:18.800 Hey, baby, elections count because we're winning.
00:10:21.640 We love elections.
00:10:22.740 They never talk about the fact that how, how did over 50% of the American people now are supporting Trump?
00:10:29.720 These, all the numbers are at the 48, 49, 50.
00:10:32.620 And we know he always undercounts because people are still intimidated about saying that they would vote for him.
00:10:37.320 Why is Trump now over half the American people?
00:10:39.620 And I actually think when you get a real count, it's two-thirds of the American people.
00:10:43.800 Why is that?
00:10:45.220 When all of his, that everybody that really speaks in his favor is, is blocked and can't get any access.
00:10:53.040 Do you understand how big this show would be if we had access?
00:10:55.620 I don't care.
00:10:56.420 We never go to this guy.
00:10:57.300 So please put us on.
00:10:58.340 I could give, I could give a tinker's damn of what they do.
00:11:01.540 The content on this show is going to get out.
00:11:03.180 You know why?
00:11:03.600 The content on this show is powerful for people to empower them and to use their agency, their own individual agency to set things right.
00:11:13.640 And yes, you're right.
00:11:14.680 This is a righteous crusade.
00:11:16.820 It's a righteous crusade to save this republic.
00:11:19.220 You know why?
00:11:19.660 Because we deem this republic to be worth saving and the American people to be worth saving.
00:11:23.860 And we're not prepared to just sit there and go play tennis or go play golf or go sailing or just give up and let you guys run the show.
00:11:32.240 But we see how demonic you are.
00:11:34.280 Let me repeat that during Holy Week.
00:11:36.420 You, Rachel Maddow and Joy Ann Reed and your people, you sit there talking the Bible.
00:11:41.060 You're going to talk this, talk that.
00:11:42.400 You're demonic.
00:11:43.820 What the, what the, the, the program you have for this country is demonic.
00:11:48.800 Starting with the little children and the family that you're obsessed.
00:11:52.600 You're obsessed to destroy traditional, the traditional values of the Judeo-Christian West.
00:11:59.180 Oh, it's Christian nationalism.
00:12:00.880 Look what these guys talk.
00:12:01.820 And we're talking about basic common decency.
00:12:05.180 You people are demonic.
00:12:07.460 Okay.
00:12:07.860 And we're not going to just sit there and take it.
00:12:09.800 That's what you hate the most.
00:12:10.780 That's what you hate about Trump the most.
00:12:12.640 You hate Trump the most because he's empowered average folks in this country to say, no, I'm going to get off the sofa and I'm going to do something.
00:12:20.920 I support this guy.
00:12:21.920 What's so powerful about it is that people support him knowing for well his imperfections.
00:12:29.920 He's not perfect.
00:12:32.080 He never makes the claim he's perfect.
00:12:33.880 He's a guy that could have, he could have walked away from this at any time.
00:12:38.740 He could have walked away.
00:12:39.500 He could have walked away in 16.
00:12:41.440 He could have walked away and not run for reelection.
00:12:43.780 He could have walked away most powerfully after they stole it.
00:12:46.880 After they stole his overwhelming victory.
00:12:48.580 He could have walked away then.
00:12:50.540 A rational person might have even walked away.
00:12:55.280 That was the argument.
00:12:56.380 This is what the Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan said.
00:12:59.260 They all came to him.
00:13:00.280 All the power brokers and the money guys all came to him.
00:13:02.500 Please, please, please just don't, you know, say you lost, accepted.
00:13:06.880 We'll get it next time.
00:13:08.060 And hey, maybe you become the kingmaker and we'll find Glenn Youngkin and you'll deem him your heir.
00:13:14.240 Okay.
00:13:14.700 And everything will be fine.
00:13:15.920 And maybe, you know, he'll give Glenn Youngkin, we'll get some chitchat about the wall, but he'll really go back to the neoliberal neocon policies that the elites in this country love.
00:13:25.580 The elites in the Republican Party, they're not supported.
00:13:28.340 Donald Trump did the exact opposite.
00:13:31.360 Not only is he a historic figure, he is a world historic figure and is the third greatest president this country's ever had.
00:13:39.340 And I say that from somebody who looks at it objectively and is a student of history.
00:13:43.600 Greater than FDR, greater than Reagan, the only greater than my beloved General Jackson.
00:13:51.760 It's only General Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Donald Trump.
00:13:55.960 And for only the third time in the nation's history is the fate and destiny of one individual inextricably linked with the fate and destiny of this republic.
00:14:06.480 Yep.
00:14:06.720 But them's the facts, folks.
00:14:09.700 I'm sorry, Rachel Maddow and Joy Ann Reed and that crowd doesn't like it.
00:14:13.800 But those are the facts.
00:14:15.440 And that's the fight we're in.
00:14:17.360 And hey, if you back off one inch, if you just say it's too hard, I can't do it anymore, then we're not going to win.
00:14:25.080 It's up to you.
00:14:26.140 It's not up to Trump.
00:14:27.120 Trump's all in, if you haven't noticed.
00:14:29.340 He's all in.
00:14:30.920 They're taking his company.
00:14:32.900 They want him in 700 years in prison.
00:14:35.440 They want to do it all.
00:14:37.400 They want to do it all.
00:14:39.120 He's all in.
00:14:39.940 The question is, in your own heart, are you all in?
00:14:45.920 Because it is upon your shoulders that this nation's freedom rests.
00:14:54.440 Short break.
00:14:55.000 The so-called financial experts thought we were in the clear.
00:15:02.920 They were anticipating around six rate cuts by the Fed this year.
00:15:06.620 And then the inflation data came out higher than expected.
00:15:09.900 Friends, this isn't going away.
00:15:12.620 It can't.
00:15:13.780 The U.S. is $34 trillion plus in the hole.
00:15:16.960 And yet we keep printing money, which pushes the prices you pay every day even higher.
00:15:23.320 So you can either bury your head in the sand or you can do something about it.
00:15:28.320 Diversify a portion of your savings into gold with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:32.640 Gold is your hedge against inflation and Birch Gold makes it easy to own.
00:15:37.380 They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.
00:15:43.600 And you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:15:45.560 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold.
00:15:52.800 Then talk to a precious metals specialist on how to protect your savings from persistent inflation with gold.
00:16:01.120 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.
00:16:05.960 Do it today.
00:16:06.840 Action, action, action.
00:16:09.220 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:11.700 Okay, just to reinforce, Dave Brat's with me.
00:16:16.520 We're going to get to Dave here in a second.
00:16:17.540 But just to reinforce, and I don't know I've gotten it to Denver yet because I'm dealing off the digital copy of the Financial Times.
00:16:24.940 And as you know, I like to have my paper copy of it.
00:16:27.000 Why do we focus on things like the Financial Times and the Journal and the Times of London?
00:16:32.880 Because those are the paper that the decision-makers in the world read.
00:16:37.600 And it is very important since you are opposed to those decision-makers because they're making decisions for their own benefit.
00:16:46.260 And not for the good of their own countries and particularly not good for you, the deplorables.
00:16:51.680 It's important for you to understand that.
00:16:55.720 And people say, well, Bannon, why are you talking about this?
00:16:58.080 Nobody's got it.
00:16:58.680 They don't know the Financial Times.
00:16:59.940 And I said, that's not quite true.
00:17:02.300 This is how we became a juggernaut.
00:17:05.760 Because people actually thirst for this knowledge.
00:17:08.100 They want to understand how the system works.
00:17:10.000 They want to understand how the system is rigged against them.
00:17:13.740 They want to understand what they have to do to unrig the system and to take power.
00:17:18.480 And this is the way we're going to do it.
00:17:20.340 And this is what we've done.
00:17:22.240 Now, I just want to, and I'm going to bring Brad up, but this is quite important.
00:17:26.720 This gets back to the big fights we've been having on the budget.
00:17:30.720 The deficit, because a lot of people, why do you talk so much about the deficit?
00:17:33.840 Nobody's interested in that.
00:17:34.620 Chase a shiny toy.
00:17:35.340 We're not chasing shiny toys.
00:17:36.580 We're going to the signal of money and power in the world.
00:17:41.020 Headline in the Financial Times.
00:17:42.100 Lead stories in the Financial Times today.
00:17:45.040 U.S. faces Liz Truss-style market shock as debt soars, warns watchdog.
00:17:53.420 Remember Liz Truss?
00:17:54.300 We spent so much time with Liz Truss.
00:17:55.440 Not at CPAC when she wrote her book, but early on when she got turfed out.
00:17:58.260 And we said, hey, and I told her at CPAC, we had a dinner with a group of people.
00:18:02.820 And I said, look, the bond vigilantes blew you up because you didn't fully explain.
00:18:07.360 You went back to kind of the supply side, Arthur Laffer, napkin, I'm going to cut taxes and get growth.
00:18:12.960 I said, that's all fine back in a day when you don't have massive debt on your books you've got to pay for.
00:18:19.380 When you're in that, you're in a different era.
00:18:21.200 And you've got to think it through.
00:18:22.920 And it starts with, wait for it, cutting government spending, what we call in here fiscal irresponsibility, right?
00:18:32.460 Fiscal madness.
00:18:34.560 The second sub-headline is, Brett, and I want you to take a, get your number two pencil out here, Brett.
00:18:40.500 U.S. deficit to soar to $2.6 trillion in 10 years, says Congressional Watchdog.
00:18:46.580 Yo, bro, don't give me the 10-year thing.
00:18:49.680 There's always 10 years.
00:18:50.760 There's always 10 years going to be $50 trillion, 10 years going to be.
00:18:53.020 No.
00:18:54.140 I strongly believe, and we have not been wrong yet on anything about this debt, including we're the ones that came up with every 100 days.
00:19:03.060 Now everybody's got it.
00:19:04.020 Fine, that's what we're supposed to do.
00:19:06.040 You could hit $2.5 trillion this year when you count everything in.
00:19:10.180 If not, it's, and I'm talking about the one Johnson, these guys just passed.
00:19:14.140 Not the one that they're cooking up right now.
00:19:16.000 No, I'm talking about the one, because guess what?
00:19:18.340 They always miss on the tax revenue side.
00:19:20.740 They always miss on the revenue side, and they don't miss on the upside of that.
00:19:24.440 They always miss on the downside.
00:19:27.100 They always miss on the downside.
00:19:30.200 Number three headline.
00:19:32.420 Remember, we went through Biden's budget last week, two weeks ago.
00:19:35.160 Biden proposes higher taxes, higher spending, more debt, and $7.3 trillion budget.
00:19:41.700 So the Financial Times, all at one, put it up there because you know why?
00:19:46.000 People that know about money, people that look downrange, are shocked about what's going on.
00:19:53.920 Now, the ones that are prudent are saying this madness somehow has to stop.
00:19:59.240 The ones that are benefiting off the system and say, no, let's just go as long as we can, because who knows what comes after.
00:20:06.540 And what comes after is not going to be good for, let me think, hang on for a second.
00:20:11.800 Let me think about that.
00:20:12.740 Oh, you.
00:20:13.660 Right.
00:20:14.000 I got it.
00:20:15.120 Remember 2008?
00:20:17.000 You old enough to remember 2008?
00:20:18.640 How'd that work out for you?
00:20:19.580 All the guys that brought that on, they all got bailed out.
00:20:22.700 All of them.
00:20:24.400 All the crimes that were done during that, who got ever sent to jail?
00:20:28.340 I think a couple of, and I'm saying, I'm being serious about this.
00:20:30.680 I think a couple of real estate appraisers in Nevada, in Miami that had mispriced some condos.
00:20:37.640 I think they took the fall for the 2008 financial collapse and then the bailout, by the way, brought on by the Bush regime, but also worked by Barney Frank and that entire crowd.
00:20:51.640 So Congress is in on it.
00:20:53.080 The executive branch, the whole scam collapsed.
00:20:55.880 Both sides, they get bailed out.
00:20:58.240 The only people who don't get bailed out is you.
00:20:59.840 You underwrote it.
00:21:01.780 You underwrote.
00:21:02.360 They went to negative interest rates, zero interest rates, the greatest concentration of wealth in the history of the United States was during the most progressive president, Barack Obama, because they're throwing out shiny toys.
00:21:13.600 Go back and look at Fox coverage in those years.
00:21:15.920 It's all chasing Obama for shiny toys while they are stealing from you and concentrating their power to control the country.
00:21:23.740 That's why Fox is called controlled opposition.
00:21:27.260 This is why the Republican Party, they talk about, what did she actually use it?
00:21:30.960 And we've got to get back to normal politics out of Rachel Maddow's across her lips.
00:21:38.720 Rachel Maddow said the quiet part out loud.
00:21:42.120 This party now is not concerned with normal politics.
00:21:45.700 What they want normal politics to be is the controlled opposition.
00:21:49.440 Where you talk about, oh, you know, we've got to have this marginal tax rate cut.
00:21:52.260 Oh, no, gosh.
00:21:53.040 Oh, my gosh.
00:21:54.160 No, no, no.
00:21:55.040 Oh, my gosh.
00:21:55.720 Oh, my gosh.
00:21:56.280 We've got to cut taxes for the wealthy.
00:21:57.740 Oh, my gosh.
00:21:58.400 My gosh.
00:21:59.580 My gosh.
00:22:00.940 Trickle down.
00:22:01.520 Let it trickle down on you like you're getting urinated on your head.
00:22:05.680 That's a trickle down.
00:22:07.500 It's all a total and complete scam.
00:22:09.600 And now, people, and this is why I'm so proud of this show.
00:22:12.820 This is all stuff that we've talked about.
00:22:14.280 You know this.
00:22:15.160 If you went to the business networks, if you went to Fox, they'd be looking cross-eyed.
00:22:21.040 What are you talking about?
00:22:21.820 This audience knows it, already understands it, understands at least the outline of it.
00:22:26.740 And with Dave Brat's great, because Brat, this is a great thing about Brat.
00:22:31.100 He and Navarro get down to the basics of what actually drives an economy, not all the financial machinations.
00:22:37.720 The actual thing, the thing itself, what is this really about?
00:22:41.640 It's about productivity.
00:22:42.840 It's about productivity per worker.
00:22:44.860 It's about productivity.
00:22:45.520 It's all about productivity and how you be more efficient and more effective.
00:22:50.760 And on that, because Biden, he's gaslighting you all the time.
00:22:53.560 He got the greatest growth, the greatest thing.
00:22:55.520 Is that the lived experience of anybody in this country?
00:22:57.940 Why do you think African-American men and Hispanic men, besides the fact they're trying to make their sons little girls,
00:23:04.820 and they're trying to destroy any traditional values that you have there?
00:23:08.560 Remember, African-Americans probably on the social side are more conservative than anybody on the family basis.
00:23:13.900 That's a huge, cultural is huge with Hispanics and the African-American.
00:23:18.880 But the economics is primary because they're getting crushed, and they're getting crushed because that's the plan.
00:23:27.740 It's like people under 30.
00:23:28.920 I keep saying, hey, if you're under 35 and you keep voting for this, you deserve to be a Russian serf, okay?
00:23:35.500 Particularly the credentialed class.
00:23:37.480 You credentialed all you folks that are deadbeats on your college loans because you're in professions.
00:23:43.420 You can't make a living unless some bogus DEI, ESG, CRT, on and on and on can create some bogus department that can hire you, right?
00:23:57.520 If you keep voting for this, you deserve it.
00:23:59.700 You deserve to be a Russian serf.
00:24:01.080 If you want to be in chains, if you want to be an indentured servant, this is free men and women.
00:24:07.440 Vote for your enslavement.
00:24:09.680 Vote for your enslavement.
00:24:11.340 Vote for it.
00:24:12.540 But don't sit here and whine when you sit there and go, hey, I'm a debt slave.
00:24:16.440 I'm a slave.
00:24:17.320 I can't get out of this.
00:24:19.740 Dave Bratt, brother, you've been hammered.
00:24:23.300 This is so good.
00:24:24.220 The Financial Times finally catching up at the war room weeks later, and their numbers are wrong, as usual.
00:24:29.620 It ain't 10 years of $2.6 trillion.
00:24:32.120 $2.6 trillion of deficits are with you now, okay?
00:24:35.340 When they do the real accounting, it's with you now.
00:24:37.760 Oh, it's 10 years.
00:24:38.660 It's always 10 years.
00:24:39.420 It's going to be 10 years.
00:24:40.260 We've got to get on.
00:24:40.840 This is, you know, it's for the children, grandchildren.
00:24:42.700 No, it's the lived experience now.
00:24:44.420 The debt is so high, and it's got to be refinanced, and she's refinancing it short term.
00:24:48.480 You know why?
00:24:48.980 She didn't want to sell the 10s and 30s, and people don't want to buy them because you know why.
00:24:53.280 They're going to have the same problem with the bonds they had back when they had to bail out Silicon Valley Bank.
00:24:59.060 The government bonds collapse because guess what?
00:25:01.640 Wait for it.
00:25:02.620 Interest rates go up.
00:25:04.960 Dave Bratt, your thoughts and observations, sir?
00:25:08.320 Yeah, well, you stole half of my thunder, but you did a good job doing it.
00:25:12.020 So here comes the story.
00:25:13.440 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:16.560 Go back.
00:25:17.100 Go back to the top.
00:25:18.020 I want all your thunder.
00:25:19.220 Your stuff's too good.
00:25:20.620 Go ahead.
00:25:21.400 No, no, I'll just back up with the receipts.
00:25:24.840 I'm a raven madman.
00:25:28.200 You're the professor.
00:25:29.060 Get back.
00:25:29.460 Give me some.
00:25:30.000 Go professorial.
00:25:31.460 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:32.340 Well, I'm going to deliver the receipts.
00:25:34.980 I hate to defend Rona a whole lot, but up on the chart, it said that she wants to count the ballots.
00:25:39.980 You can kind of tell what's going on, which side would just like paper ballots and to count them up at the end of the day.
00:25:45.380 So with that in mind, let's do economics like this.
00:25:48.020 The stuff I'm about ready to give you comes from Alan Blinder, Princeton and Federal Reserve Board, and then Mark Zandy, one of the biggest macro models, and then Robert Gordon from Northwestern, who I mention all the time.
00:26:02.200 So these are the biggest names in the economics profession.
00:26:07.060 The numbers are so bad right now, and the debt figures are so high that they blow up the models, right?
00:26:12.520 That's why you won't see any modern economists right now covering the debt issues because they're so awful and so laughable.
00:26:20.040 If they printed them, they'd probably be fired from the leftist schools.
00:26:23.960 So it is political.
00:26:26.120 All political views are my own.
00:26:27.800 But when the left is saying they'll do anything to win, when you see these numbers and then the Fed talking about easing rates again, you know, the market's making bets on this.
00:26:36.580 You've got to be kidding me.
00:26:37.440 So let's just start off with the numbers that they're upgrading the, you know, CBO, and these guys are updating the numbers from on the first chart, Denver, if you want to pop that one up, from 1.4% GDP growth to 2.1% growth.
00:26:52.740 And so Zero Hedge has, you know, some good articles.
00:26:55.260 One's called The House of Cards on Borrowed Time.
00:26:57.320 And they also know fourth quarter GDP might go up to 3% GDP growth, right?
00:27:03.780 So, and I just want to point out what's coming here is not Keynesian economics, right?
00:27:09.240 A lot of this gets blamed on Keynesian economics.
00:27:11.900 Keynes said when you're having moderate growth, like they say we're having now, you should build up a surplus so for a rainy day you can do deficit spending.
00:27:19.300 That was Keynes.
00:27:20.780 What the Republicans just put into play with their budget is really modern monetary theory.
00:27:26.380 The numbers here are so huge what you're talking about.
00:27:29.320 Two and a half trillion dollar debt finance deficits, right?
00:27:34.680 Hang on.
00:27:35.160 We have to go to break.
00:27:37.540 I want to come back and I want to explain when we come back exactly what modern monetary theory is, how radical, and how the elites in this country, including the conservative elites and Wall Street, embraced it.

00:29:50.660 Just talk to them.
00:29:52.320 We give you the macro.
00:29:54.320 They'll give you the micro.
00:29:55.620 But clearly something's up, right?
00:29:58.900 Dave Bratt, before you continue on, just explain this radical theory that came out of France, right?
00:30:06.180 What was the last good thing that came out of France after the French fries, right?
00:30:09.280 So he came out of France with Thomas Piketty or whatever his name is, this radical French.
00:30:16.080 And all the French economists are not really numbers guys.
00:30:18.420 They're all kind of philosophers, right?
00:30:19.940 The French are all big intellectuals.
00:30:22.360 He came out with this concept.
00:30:23.740 Here's this concept.
00:30:24.680 Deficits don't matter.
00:30:27.680 You run them up, right?
00:30:28.780 And buy physical stuff with them.
00:30:30.480 It doesn't matter.
00:30:31.140 Just run it up.
00:30:32.340 And if you ever get a problem with inflation, you can immediately raise taxes to like 90%.
00:30:36.700 I mean, it's fantasy land.
00:30:37.700 But embraced 100% by what I call the lords of easy money on Wall Street who love easy money because they make more of it and you make less of it, right?
00:30:52.160 This is how 10% of the nation owns 90% of the assets.
00:30:56.780 So, Dave Bratt, explain monetary theory before you continue on.
00:31:01.600 Yeah, well, I'll explain the political lesson as well.
00:31:05.180 Well, it kind of bumps off a say's law in classical economists, supply creates its own demand.
00:31:11.580 But in this case, modern monetary policy suggests you can do endless fiscal spending.
00:31:17.780 That will create your supply, right, through endless government programs that will generate an economy.
00:31:25.380 That's the whopper.
00:31:26.600 I mean, they're just making it up.
00:31:27.680 I think they're making it up for purely political reasons.
00:31:31.540 The architect of this has a podcast out there.
00:31:34.080 You can go listen to her.
00:31:35.520 She's the architect for Bernie Sanders and for Biden on modern monetary theory.
00:31:40.960 And she says, wow, can you believe, you know, without this massive spending, we never would have won the two Senate seats in Georgia, right?
00:31:48.820 You don't hear that too much in sophisticated economic analysis.
00:31:53.120 So the left gets away with this stuff by the architects of Biden's budget.
00:31:57.480 The Republicans just validated it.
00:32:00.380 It's stunning.
00:32:01.200 You got to give it.
00:32:01.920 Hold it.
00:32:02.640 Yeah, but she's saying the quiet part out loud.
00:32:04.960 That's exactly how they think.
00:32:06.740 Right.
00:32:07.360 That's what they think right now.
00:32:08.860 That's what that's why.
00:32:09.880 Hold it.
00:32:10.500 The Supreme Court told Biden you can't pay off the debt of the of the credential class deadbeats.
00:32:15.920 You can't pay it off.
00:32:16.880 It's unconstitutional.
00:32:18.300 Every other day you wake up another seven billion dollars paid off loans.
00:32:22.140 You got to you got to call tomorrow to make sure your loans paid off.
00:32:25.580 Go ahead, sir.
00:32:26.480 Yep.
00:32:27.400 Yeah.
00:32:27.640 Let me just go back to 0708.
00:32:29.480 Like you just said, it's never been litigated.
00:32:32.040 The crooks who perpetuated this crime never went to jail.
00:32:38.500 So the rich got rich.
00:32:39.720 The banks made their money.
00:32:40.940 None of them were prosecuted.
00:32:42.880 And so roughly what's going on, Denver, if you want to put up the next chart, I'm quoting Alan Blinder and Mark Zandy here.
00:32:49.700 Quote, at its worst, in 2008, the chart you're looking at at the bottom left, 08, real GDP appeared to be in a free fall, declining at nearly 7 percent annual rate.
00:33:01.800 Today, December 2010, when it was written, this article, the financial system has growth of 3 percent.
00:33:08.740 Great.
00:33:09.680 So they spent a trillion dollars to get you a 10 percent turnaround when the entire financial system was in total collapse.
00:33:18.240 And they said the debt repercussions of this are so serious we cannot even tell you.
00:33:24.240 So they had the honesty to say this back then, right?
00:33:27.060 Notice they will not say a word about having $2.5 trillion deficits today.
00:33:32.080 They thought a trillion dollars was unbearable.
00:33:35.300 They knew this was a grotesque fiscal expansion.
00:33:38.820 And so roughly speaking, $1 trillion got you 10 percent growth, right?
00:33:44.120 You went from minus 7 percent down there to plus 3.
00:33:48.740 And so if you double it today, you're doing $2 trillion.
00:33:54.340 That gets you, and they say to take half of that, to be fair, for government spending.
00:33:58.780 So in essence, just double it.
00:34:00.300 So instead of 5 percent, you get 10 percent GDP growth effect from doing $2 trillion in deficit spending right now.
00:34:08.700 Right?
00:34:09.020 So what does that mean?
00:34:10.040 That means, okay, let's just give them the high number.
00:34:12.120 Say GDP is growing at 3 right now because of this massive government spending.
00:34:17.060 If you took out the $2.5 trillion, what would we be growing at?
00:34:20.840 3 minus 10.
00:34:22.900 So minus 6 or 7 percent GDP shrinkage.
00:34:27.480 The economy would be shrinking.
00:34:29.140 We'd be in a recession.
00:34:30.400 Similar, exact same logic from Robert Gordon.
00:34:35.380 And this is why I'm going, I'll post this all at Brad Economics.
00:34:38.120 You can go make sure I'm not cheating.
00:34:40.100 I'm cutting these figures in half just so they don't look insane because that's what we're dealing with.
00:34:46.340 So Gordon says in 1819 they're dealing with a stimulus of $150 billion.
00:34:51.380 And over two years, that got you 0.8 percent GDP growth.
00:34:56.000 Well, that's nice, so let's multiply $150 billion by 10.
00:35:02.360 A factor of 10.
00:35:03.620 That gets you to a $1.5 trillion deficit.
00:35:07.220 So then multiply the 0.8 percent GDP growth, and what do you get again?
00:35:12.280 About the same number.
00:35:13.440 Eight percent GDP growth due to government spending.
00:35:17.760 So again, without the deficit spending, our economy right now, and when you look at manufacturing and go look at the manufacturing news,
00:35:24.360 it kind of mirrors this as well.
00:35:25.920 Manufacturing is in a recession right now.
00:35:28.100 So government's fine.
00:35:29.500 All the green stuff is fine.
00:35:31.460 That's what modern monetary theory wanted to focus on was all the government sector stuff.
00:35:35.720 So this goes right along with the left-wing politics.
00:35:38.820 And the next chart, Denver, I'll just, you've been going over this, Steve, every day, but here's a couple of charts just to show it.
00:35:44.860 Washington is increasingly depending on the Federal Reserve and domestic lenders to buy its debt.
00:35:51.180 So this is getting increasingly problematic.
00:35:53.540 If you look at the bottom lines, that light blue line down at the bottom, that's Japan, and underneath that's China.
00:35:59.240 China's share of buying our debt is going down, down, down.
00:36:05.040 And so there's going to come a point in time where the Fed has to sell, and the Treasury has to sell these bonds to us,
00:36:12.600 and if the Fed lowers rates, I don't think you're going to be buying a ton at 1 percent again.
00:36:18.800 And then the last chart, this was a shocker.
00:36:21.780 This made the rounds the other day on Twitter.
00:36:24.280 Since the end of 2019, since 19, the U.S. Treasury market has increased by over 60 percent since 2019 to $27 trillion.
00:36:38.220 And you see up there the bonds, the notes, the bills.
00:36:40.580 Another $2.4 trillion net debt was issued in 2023.
00:36:45.440 And then I'll just close, final chart.
00:36:47.740 So as a result of this, the American people know very well what's going on, right?
00:36:53.280 You've got the elite folks over on the right in that chart.
00:36:56.280 The rich 1 percent, the elites who are sociopathic overlords, as you guys call them,
00:37:05.660 69 percent of the elites have a very favorable view of Congress.
00:37:10.260 71 percent are in love with journalists, and 76 percent love professors.
00:37:15.520 Well, I'm glad to know someone loves us.
00:37:17.420 But on the other side is the voters.
00:37:18.900 We, the American people, have a 6 percent favorability view of Congress, a 10 percent favorable on journalists, and a 17 percent view of professors.
00:37:29.820 And that is probably the accurate assessment.
00:37:32.980 The economists have failed the American people.
00:37:35.080 Hang on.
00:37:36.520 Hang on.
00:37:37.440 Hang on.
00:37:37.800 This is very powerful.
00:37:39.520 Having made that, laying out how the system is absolutely rigged to give more –
00:37:44.680 And this is why – this is why even though the majority of the majority says we can't do this budget, it's insane, you've got to secure the border, you can't do this.
00:37:55.100 They just blatantly work with Democrats.
00:37:57.320 They have 90 or 100 work with them.
00:38:00.340 They're totally sold out.
00:38:01.400 Everybody that voted for that is a sellout to the corporate interest.
00:38:04.180 Because you see here, mathematically it makes no sense.
00:38:06.340 This is a path to destruction.
00:38:08.260 And just – it's just – it's financial suicide.
00:38:13.040 It makes no sense mathematically.
00:38:14.380 If you put this plan together and gave it to a business school professor for some macro class, you would get an F minus.
00:38:21.880 They would say, this is ridiculous.
00:38:23.480 We're throwing you out of the school.
00:38:25.120 You don't actually get – you don't understand any of the concepts we're trying to teach you.
00:38:30.320 But I want to go back to that last thing, and I want to take a slide, particularly for our podcast radio audience.
00:38:34.340 This is also, for the podcast and radio audience, why you have to go to the site and get the email.
00:38:40.120 Because every day we're sending you, like, what Professor Bratt – Dr. Professor Bratt is putting out and all these other geniuses we get on here.
00:38:49.900 You get the videos, but you also get the charts.
00:38:51.960 So go back.
00:38:54.240 This last chart is quite powerful because it tells you the mindset.
00:38:58.920 And this is why – this is why you still have these overlords over top of you.
00:39:02.780 Walk me through who likes what.
00:39:04.800 Yeah, well, just on the left, the MAGA crowd, the folks that – normal Americans, voters, 6% of normal people have a very favorable view of Congress for good reason.
00:39:20.960 They're bankrupting you.
00:39:22.440 Your wages are going down.
00:39:24.080 Productivity has been going down for 70 years.
00:39:25.940 10% of the average Americans like journalists because, as you saw in your Shattered Glass segment yesterday, mainstream media has fallen apart.
00:39:37.700 The Wall Street Journal made a smear at Jim DeMint yesterday.
00:39:41.380 I fact-checked that one myself because I couldn't believe it.
00:39:44.400 And they just lie.
00:39:45.440 They straight-out lie.
00:39:47.080 And then a 17% favorable view of professors after you see the Harvard headlines and the MITs and the whatever and the elites and the elites and they're plagiarizing and make up stuff and lying and the treatment of their own Jewish kids on campus.
00:40:04.240 I've been on Liberty campus.
00:40:05.300 I've never heard a kid make a racist, sexist remark in my five years here.
00:40:10.060 Our kids are just remarkable.
00:40:11.760 And then on the elite side of the world, by contrast, the elites, right, are sociopathic overlords.
00:40:19.380 They're head of the State Department, DOD, CIA, FBI, mainstream media, all the academics, et cetera.
00:40:26.180 That top 1% of the folks who rule our lives and make up these budgets for us, 69% of them have a very favorable view of Congress.
00:40:37.460 Why?
00:40:38.300 Because they just funded $7.2 trillion, and part of that goes to every elite group on the Hill and the State Department, the NGOs who are helping the border invasion.
00:40:50.540 71% of the elites, the elites have a 71% favorable view of journalists.
00:40:58.500 You've got to be kidding.
00:40:59.660 It's hard to find the truth these days.
00:41:01.660 And then same thing, the elites have a 76% favorable view of the professors who are the elitists who are training in the kids to, roughly speaking, being Marxists, right?
00:41:13.660 And in Holy Week, let that sink in.
00:41:16.200 Your elite schools are training in Marxists.
00:41:18.680 They're not training in Christians.
00:41:20.220 They're not training people in on the Judeo-Christian West.
00:41:22.840 They're training in Marxists who want to create division.
00:41:25.400 Okay, hang on for one second.
00:41:28.720 I'm going to get back to you, but I've got Beattie.
00:41:29.960 He's got to bounce.
00:41:30.740 I've got to get this Beattie story in.
00:41:32.360 So just hang with me, because I want to go back through some of the stuff you're saying and then help you and get your content.
00:41:37.320 Darren Beattie joins us.
00:41:38.900 Darren, I'm going to have you hold through the break.
00:41:42.140 This explosion story, you've got Cash Patel.
00:41:44.420 Now you had Acting Secretary of Defense Miller two days ago on Daily Mail.
00:41:48.740 You now had Cash and Daily Mail saying that the J6 committee was totally rigged, was sitting there intimidating them, following up.
00:41:57.240 It's a complete joke.
00:41:58.860 The J6 never even touched.
00:42:00.280 Give me the breaking story once again on Revolver that you guys continue to bird dog.
00:42:07.160 Well, as I've said many times, we are in the endgame stage of exposing the Fed's direction.
00:42:14.500 And we've been there ever since that video depicting the discovery of the bomb at the DNC reached escape velocity.
00:42:24.420 That's what catapulted our research into escape velocity.
00:42:28.440 And so this is the next stage of that investigation, a major piece.
00:42:32.940 And I'm very happy that this is the first place I'm talking about it here in the War Room, where basically all this investigation started.
00:42:39.880 So just to recap very quickly, what was this surveillance video at the DNC and why was it scandalous?
00:42:47.740 Well, the biggest thing that was interesting about that was we see a plainclothes Capitol police officer informing Secret Service agents of the bomb.
00:42:58.040 And then people have seen the video will know the reaction was totally lackadaisical.
00:43:03.660 They spent two minutes in their car before they even got out.
00:43:07.060 And then to cap it all off, the Secret Service agents and Capitol police allowed a group of schoolchildren to walk within feet of the bomb.
00:43:16.740 So that's a huge scandal.
00:43:18.680 And you can say, well, maybe they were the most negligent people in the world or maybe.
00:43:23.380 And I think more likely.
00:43:24.800 Darren, Darren, hang on.
00:43:26.980 Hold it for the break because I want to.
00:43:29.280 It's a cliffhanger.
00:43:30.680 We back in 90 seconds.
00:43:32.720 True or false?
00:43:34.480 Using your tax refund to pay off credit card debt is a smart thing.
00:43:38.520 Actually, that's false.
00:43:40.400 DoneWithDebt.com published a brilliant strategy designed to let you keep your hard-earned tax refund and reduce or eliminate credit card debt.
00:43:49.920 Most Americans owe thousands in credit card debt.
00:43:52.560 In fact, Daily Mail's got a story that 56 million Americans carry credit card debt.
00:43:58.360 And that debt will take years to pay off.
00:44:00.800 If you pay it off at all.
00:44:02.720 DoneWithDebt found that filing bankruptcy is usually not the answer.
00:44:07.100 And taking out loans to pay off credit cards usually increases the debt.
00:44:11.740 When you engage DoneWithDebt, their legal experts and skilled negotiators take on the credit card companies for you.

00:44:43.460 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:44:46.760 Band.
00:44:49.580 Okay.
00:44:50.780 Darren, quickly.
00:44:52.080 Here's the thing.
00:44:52.680 If they thought, from the video, if they thought it was a MAGA guy that had actually planned the bomb at the DNC,
00:44:59.160 they would have gone house to house to find it.
00:45:01.660 They would have gone P. Diddy, like DHS went yesterday on Sean Combs or whatever.
00:45:10.980 It was P. Diddy.
00:45:12.020 They would have sent SWAT teams out, everything.
00:45:14.500 This narrative has been bizarre from the beginning, has it not, sir?
00:45:18.640 It's absolutely been bizarre.
00:45:20.060 And that's, I think, why, you know, we had a mountain of created a whole universe of research over the years,
00:45:26.420 making the case step-by-step as to why the pipe bomb story is one of the two smoking guns of the Fed's direction,
00:45:34.200 the other one being Ray Epps, which, of course, we've talked about extensively.
00:45:38.200 But in the case of Ray Epps, there is a convenient fact that there was a video,
00:45:43.760 which was basically tailor-made to go viral, and that natural virality helped to spread the underlying story very effectively,
00:45:51.780 whereas the pipe bomb story was just as compelling, perhaps even more damning,
00:45:56.420 and yet it needed that video moment to catapult it into virality.
00:46:01.420 And that video moment came pretty dramatically in the form of this surveillance footage
00:46:06.540 showing the officials discovering the DNC bomb, having zero reaction to it whatsoever,
00:46:12.700 not being concerned for their own safety, not being concerned for the safety of Kamala Harris,
00:46:17.840 whom they were protecting, and not being concerned for the safety of a group of schoolchildren who walk right by it.
00:46:23.220 That was really the damning video that indicated to anyone watching,
00:46:27.180 there is something really wrong here.
00:46:29.460 And in all likelihood, the Secret Service and Capitol Police knew in advance that the bomb was fake,
00:46:35.000 but that just raised the question, how would they have known that that bomb was fake and posed no threat?
00:46:40.480 And is this connected to the suspicious fact that Kamala Harris, who was in the building at the time,
00:46:47.420 has foregone any natural political interest in milking the fact that she came within hairs' width of dying from a MAGA pipe bomb?
00:46:55.280 They bent over backwards to lie and contrive fake scenarios that fit the domestic terror narrative,
00:47:02.440 but here's something they wouldn't have to fake.
00:47:04.720 Kamala Harris was actually in the building as the pipe bomb was there,
00:47:08.700 and yet this is something they've studiously covered up.
00:47:12.000 To this day, Kamala Harris doesn't acknowledge she was in the building,
00:47:15.820 and Joe Biden, in his hours-long speech on the dangers of January 6th, neglected to mention that.
00:47:22.300 So they're covering it up.
00:47:24.100 It should be their biggest talking point.
00:47:26.220 Instead, it's their most carefully guarded secret.
00:47:29.080 Now let's move to this latest piece, because it really is huge,
00:47:32.720 and it puts us to the next step within the endgame.
00:47:36.360 Now, all of these questions raised by the surveillance footage,
00:47:41.060 those were actually posed to one of the Capitol Police officers who was on the scene,
00:47:48.120 and a senior Capitol Police officer who, it turns out,
00:47:52.940 was the head of the ATF response to the pipe bombs.
00:47:58.240 And this is a story that's come out in different ways.
00:48:01.720 Judicial Watch did a FOIA request.
00:48:04.020 Basically, the ATF was a key institutional player in the response to the pipe bomb,
00:48:10.300 and the guy who ran that response is now the head of Capitol Police Dignitary Protection and Intelligence.
00:48:18.360 And so he was sitting in on this meeting as kind of an overseeing handler officer,
00:48:23.300 and he was there and one of the Capitol Police officers on the scene in the response.
00:48:29.280 And they were asked by Massey and some of his team, they were asked the natural question,
00:48:37.100 how do you explain the fact that in this video there's no movement,
00:48:41.820 there's no concern whatsoever about this bomb,
00:48:45.240 and you even let a bunch of schoolchildren walk right by it?
00:48:48.480 How in the world do you explain that?
00:48:50.340 And this senior Capitol Police officer with a straight face looked them in the eye and said,
00:48:58.580 well, you know, the reason for that was we just didn't want to cause panic by our reaction.
00:49:05.200 Are you kidding me?
00:49:07.980 You're informed of the presence of a bomb,
00:49:10.380 which in your mind should have a very high probability of being a live explosive device,
00:49:15.120 and you guys are standing around there like it's no big deal,
00:49:19.860 and you let kids walk by it?
00:49:22.220 And your answer to that is you didn't want to cause panic?
00:49:25.440 This is coming from a guy with a long history who should know better.
00:49:28.920 He was special agent in charge of D.C. for the ATF.
00:49:33.260 He was one of the key guys responsible, incidentally,
00:49:36.460 for collecting debris at the Pentagon after 9-11.
00:49:39.780 This is not a novice.
00:49:41.060 This is not someone who is dumb or naive enough to believe the manifest lie that he was expressing to this.
00:49:49.520 Such an absurd lie.
00:49:51.000 It's almost offensive that he would expect anyone to believe this.
00:49:55.300 And we're now in a position to reveal this person's name.
00:49:59.180 This person's name is Ashen Benedict.
00:50:01.320 And the first scandal of this is that he's currently the head of Dignitary Protection.
00:50:08.200 So the guy who's in charge of protecting our congressmen has expressed it to be a normal thing
00:50:15.980 for people to stand around that lackadaisically around a bomb so as not to cause panic.
00:50:21.620 You would think members of Congress should be concerned about that fact alone.
00:50:26.800 But, of course, it gets even darker because it's clear he gave that ridiculous answer
00:50:32.920 because he wanted to cover up the truth.
00:50:35.440 He wanted to cover up what is clear from the video and is clear from their ridiculous answers
00:50:40.120 that the DNC bomb, they knew it was not a threat in advance,
00:50:46.040 and it was discovered under false pretenses.
00:50:48.740 That is to say, there's no way by sheer coincidence these two bombs are sitting out there for 16, 17 hours
00:50:55.520 only to be randomly and independently discovered within a 15-minute time frame
00:51:01.860 that perfectly coincides with the unfolding attack on the Capitol.
00:51:05.920 So we have a name of someone who an overwhelming likelihood is a key player in this cover-up,
00:51:14.860 and he happens to be head of Dignitary Protection and Intelligence at the Capitol at this very moment.
00:51:22.200 Ash and Benedict.
00:51:23.340 I understand you've got—I know you've got a bounce.
00:51:26.900 Where do people go to Revolve right now to read this and to share it?
00:51:29.880 We need this—we need all the force multipliers to push this out.
00:51:33.580 And then we'll have you back on tomorrow to go through more details of how we go next level on this.
00:51:37.980 But where do people go today?
00:51:39.560 This is huge. We're in the endgame.
00:51:41.360 You don't normally have people give you names.
00:51:43.680 This is a name, Ash and Benedict.
00:51:45.820 Huge piece, major piece.
00:51:47.900 Revolver.news.
00:51:49.380 Read the whole thing. Share it.
00:51:51.640 Now is the time to amplify the pressure to 11.
00:51:54.800 It's time to get resolution on this scam they've been shoving down our throats for over three years now.
00:52:03.120 It's completely ridiculous, and we've got to do it.
00:52:05.440 Darren Beattie, thank you so much.
00:52:06.820 Revolver.news.
00:52:08.740 It's one of the primary sites we go to every morning to check out what's important.
00:52:12.100 Best analysis out there.
00:52:13.280 Thank you, sir.
