The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China,
00:00:03.000
and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
00:00:05.500
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
00:00:07.760
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
00:00:13.600
...broadway warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
00:00:17.840
...that this is going to be a real serious problem.
00:00:19.840
France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
00:00:24.300
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the U.S.
00:00:31.760
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:00:35.200
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
00:00:38.380
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
00:00:55.180
How can you force people to take a vaccine in order to stop transmission
00:01:03.780
when that vaccine is not effective at stopping transmission?
00:01:09.000
You don't have to go to medical school to know that doesn't make sense.
00:01:24.680
We're 99 days from, I think, the most historic and important midterm election in the history of this country,
00:01:32.760
I think maybe 1862 might have been a little bit more important, but we'll argue that over the next 99 days.
00:01:38.040
We've got PAC shows this morning, this afternoon, absolutely slammed.
00:01:44.000
But a very special guy was able to come across this material late last week, and I want to quote,
00:01:49.140
the public health community will have to disentangle itself from its indoctrinated beliefs about vaccines
00:01:56.400
if it ever hopes to make unbiased and clear-headed policy recommendations during health crises.
00:02:06.280
He is the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida, the wingman of Governor DeSantis.
00:02:10.080
He's got his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and a Ph.D. from the College of Arts and Sciences in public health policy.
00:02:31.840
I want to get to the part that you've done so brilliantly with Governor DeSantis against all comers.
00:02:38.900
I mean, you guys, they went after you hard in the early days of this pandemic.
00:02:45.760
But I want to talk a little bit about your personal journey because it's quite amazing.
00:02:49.720
It's essentially with all your academic brilliance and your performance and your number one wherever you go academically
00:02:56.300
and you go to only the best schools that you kind of were a shell of yourself until later.
00:03:02.380
You had to learn to transcend your own fear of your own trauma.
00:03:10.140
And then it makes you understand your journey as a public health official.
00:03:20.560
And I know I kind of sort of work it in there in the middle, but it is the heart.
00:03:25.880
It's it's it's really central to the to the book.
00:03:30.060
You know, I'm you know, I describe an experience that I had when I was a I was a kid.
00:03:35.100
I was I was maybe four or five years old where I was sexually abused by a babysitter.
00:03:43.580
And unfortunately, it's something that, you know, we talk about when it makes the news, but it happens, unfortunately, way more often than people hear about.
00:03:55.440
Because, as you know, Steve, there are predators out there and they look for opportunities.
00:04:00.420
And and unfortunately, they're always on the hunt and people aren't always on the defensive.
00:04:05.640
So they're able to take advantage of situations that that harm other people.
00:04:10.740
And for me, it just so happened that that that, you know, it sort of basically numbed me to a to sort of the experience of life.
00:04:24.200
And, you know, it was funny because I actually didn't think it affected me.
00:04:30.240
But it was really falling in love with my wife.
00:04:34.800
And, you know, the thing of one of the things that, you know, I think that it's special about love is that it sort of brings things to the surface.
00:04:42.360
So things that aren't working that you've been able to kind of stuff in a closet or, you know, put behind a curtain that doesn't work out anymore.
00:04:51.580
When you fall in love, all that stuff comes out.
00:04:54.120
And the experience that I went through having to deal with it, thank goodness, with the guidance of my wife, I wouldn't be where I am right now without her, helped me get to a place where I was able to function just so much better in all aspects of life.
00:05:10.860
And in particular, you know, it just so happened that in this particular aspect, I look like I'm functioning really well in terms of thinking about COVID-19 pandemic policymaking.
00:05:22.600
But frankly, it's more because people, so many people function so poorly that I kind of look like I, you know, I sort of know what I'm doing or, you know, I have some insights that are, you know, unique or unusual.
00:05:35.720
But really, it's mostly common sense and just not being caught up with the things that, unfortunately, most of the public health community has been caught up with over the past two years.
00:05:46.540
How did you, what were the techniques besides falling in love with your wife?
00:05:51.460
You've used certain actual techniques to overcome things and make yourself, although you were obviously academically top notch and moving through life, to actually make yourself a more effective person.
00:06:13.680
This dad was, you know, doing well and academically.
00:06:16.960
But there's a complete difference from external performance and how you are doing internally.
00:06:31.980
And she hung in there with me through what basically what was happening was that all this stuff that I had managed to kind of stuff into a closet, which is mostly, you know, just sort of not connecting with people, not really being present, being extremely fearful of just like everything in my life.
00:06:50.540
But, you know, bottling it up so that and kind of keeping it controlled so that it wouldn't show up on the outside.
00:06:57.040
My wife is very sensitive, so she was able to always feel it, even if, you know, other people didn't, couldn't tell.
00:07:03.120
So all of that was just, was making Brianna's life miserable, basically.
00:07:09.900
And when we had kids, you know, people, sometimes we laugh when people say that, oh, you know, having kids will help our relationship.
00:07:19.700
They're amazing, those wonderful gifts from God, but they're an enormous stressor.
00:07:26.300
And eventually, you know, my poor wife, she was at the end of a rope and she, you know, she connected me over the years with a therapist and with other individuals.
00:07:37.240
And they helped me some, but, you know, it was sort of like pitching water out of the ocean.
00:07:42.340
I mean, they were just, we weren't making enough progress to really make a big difference.
00:07:47.460
And she found a guy and she told me that, you know, she found a guy that she thinks could really help me.
00:07:59.940
He wrote a book about his own journey, which is just, I mean, I recommend people read the book who were interested in, in kind of, you know, self-improvement.
00:08:11.000
And I ended up, I worked with Christopher for a week and it was the closest thing to a miracle that I've ever had in my life.
00:08:19.460
So he uses a bunch of different techniques that he developed, partly based in like Chinese, Chinese medicine and meridian stuff.
00:08:32.160
But, um, so stuff related to meridians and, you know, chi and flow and energy.
00:08:39.280
Um, and it's a combination of physical manipulations.
00:08:43.160
Like one of the things is called Mao Qing, which is this thing where he literally mashes on the back of your thighs.
00:08:50.940
And it basically goes from an experience of intense pain to actual pleasure in terms of the intensity of the experience and a bunch of other techniques.
00:09:04.160
And basically he helped me get free of this, you know, this, basically this prison cell, this mental, emotional, spiritual prison cell that I developed primarily as a result of this traumatic, you know, experience.
00:09:19.780
When I was a child, when this woman broke my boundaries and exposed me to, um, you know, to forces that my little, you know, four-year-old body and brain just couldn't handle in the spirit.
00:09:32.640
So I talk about a little bit more in the book and Christopher has a book that dives into it more, but that was.
00:09:43.100
And I think it's anybody that read it for their personal life, but then also for public policy, because you're at super high performance the entire time.
00:09:53.420
Harvard medical school, arguably the finest in the nation.
00:10:04.260
So you're super high performing then as in particularly with governor DeSantis, I mean, they come after you.
00:10:11.660
How was that experience and what you learn in transcending yourself and transcending the fear in yourself when given you had gone to Harvard for both the MD and the PhD, and you saw the entire apparatus from everything you had learned about logic and reason.
00:10:28.240
And hey, being a doctor, that the entire apparatus really turned against you and governor Santos, because for a while it was you two guys were alone.
00:10:37.800
And I mean, we would, because we monitor MSNBC and CNN every, every night here, 24 seven, the day, our staff, they literally came after you relentlessly more than just about any public official in the country.
00:10:54.280
Well, you know, I mean, unfortunately right now there's just a lot of really darkness out there in the world.
00:11:02.300
I mean, there's less now because fortunately there's less fear and more people have sort of woken up and decided not to play along with the silly games that the media has been playing for the past two and a half years.
00:11:12.940
And our political leaders have been playing, but, you know, there was, there was, there's been, as you know, just a tremendous amount of basically malicious energy in terms of what, what leadership and what the media have been trying to convince the Americans and people all around the world to believe and do.
00:11:36.460
Um, I know you've talked about a lot of that stuff.
00:11:39.400
I mean, and now of course we're in a period where there's denial.
00:11:43.040
You've got, you know, Dr. Fauci saying that he never said that, you know, schools should be closed and, and, oh, you know, we'll figure out a way to make it up to the kids after shutting them out from something that's important to their emotional and mental and, you know, spiritual development in terms of their, their schooling and all that.
00:12:02.580
But, um, but, um, I'll tell you, I mean, if it weren't for, for the work that I did, so, you know, the Harvard stuff, all that stuff, I mean, it's great stuff, you know, all the great schools people go to, but, you know, I think, you know, Steve, all that stuff is, right.
00:12:18.140
You can look, pardon my language, but you can, you can have a great appearance on the outside, but when, when the things that matter the most, you know, none of that stuff is on the outside, it's all on the inside.
00:12:29.840
And when a crisis comes and, you know, you mentioned the book is about, like about public health crises and really emergencies in general, when a crisis comes, that stuff on the outside, it basically makes no difference.
00:12:45.960
The most important things during a crisis are the things on the inside.
00:12:51.620
And fortunately, the work that I did with Christopher Maker, and I've continued to do since that day, is what has helped me withstand, you know, all the nonsense from the media.
00:13:05.700
And, you know, this, I mean, it's like, it's basically a long Broadway show with them, in terms of the stuff that they try to make people believe is true, you know, make people believe is okay, and we're talking vaccine passports and mandates for like a new product, that we, you know, we continue to learn more about the safety, and what we're learning is like increasingly not good.
00:13:25.400
But because I felt right, and there were times that it was very difficult, I mean, you remember the whole issue with the whole, with the senator, who, you know, got into it about masking in an interview, and, you know, let's go outside, no, you have to stay here, and we have to talk in my office, no, I don't want to do that, let's go outside.
00:13:47.380
And I mean, there was just a tremendous amount of pressure. And that was, that was a challenging time, more challenging than, than a lot of the time that I've had the pleasure of working with Governor DeSantis. But, again, during emergencies, what matters most is what's on the inside. And fortunately, I am, you know, infinitely stronger and more complete on the inside than I've ever been in my life.
00:14:11.660
Doctor, if you can hang on, we're gonna take a short commercial break. We're gonna be back on, join Dr. Latipo, talk about transcending fear, his personal lessons, and also the public policy lessons on these critical aspects of the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates, and how Dr. Latipo, as the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida, he and Governor Ron DeSantis stood in the breach, stood in the breach when it mattered,
00:14:35.140
and stood against an onslaught of the smartest authorities in the country and the world. Short commercial, right back, we got Cortez, we got General Bolduc, Ben Harnwell's gonna join us, Kerry Lake, I think Brighton's gonna be cracking down, all of it next, in the war room.
00:14:53.460
You know what's never good? When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:10.280
Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:13.920
There's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand. End quote.
00:15:28.680
You know who understands the real threat of inflation? People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:35.940

00:16:28.120
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:16:32.280
War Room Pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:38.940
Dr. Joseph Latipo is the wingman for Governor Ron DeSantis. He's the Surgeon General of the Free State of Florida.
00:16:45.840
His book is Transcend Fear. Dr. Latipo, given all the education you had at the top university,
00:16:51.580
when you saw the, you know, the Fauci's of the world, the CDC, the FDA, these revered institutions, NIH,
00:17:00.460
all these, every night on MSNBC and CNN, all these experts from Harvard, from Stanford, from all over,
00:17:07.060
this onslaught, and you're sitting there with DeSantis, pretty smart guy for me,
00:17:11.080
all going through the evidence, the data, and the science.
00:17:14.480
Was there ever a time when you thought, hey, maybe we've got this wrong and they've got it right, sir?
00:17:28.100
Obviously, I can't speak for the governor, but I, you know, having worked with him,
00:17:32.680
he's a very special guy, as you know, and I'm sure that he has not had a moment of doubt.
00:17:39.760
I mean, the thing is, honestly, it's been like, it's been really extraordinary what, you know,
00:17:47.280
people like the CDC, Dr. Walensky, people like Dr. Fauci have been saying,
00:17:54.560
if you're familiar with, you know, scientific studies, it's just, it's almost all of it has been
00:18:01.620
misaligned with best public health practices. And, you know, it's, it's, it's still kind of,
00:18:10.760
it's a mystery to me, how they were able to make statements that, like they did, particularly the
00:18:18.740
stuff that was just, I mean, just, just completely against the book and, and, you know,
00:18:24.980
decades of teaching from the kids out of school. Like that's like, you don't do that. I mean,
00:18:32.520
you only do that if the kids need it and they never needed it. The forcing of therapy, specifically
00:18:40.060
the vaccine mandates, it's, that's just, I mean, there are ethical principles in medicine and public
00:18:48.300
health that say, you can't do that. Like it's literally against the book. Um, so it's, it's been,
00:18:56.700
they've been so far out there and so, you know, clearly putting on a show, a performance that is
00:19:04.340
separate from the truth and has different objectives that it was easy never to have.
00:19:10.980
Dr. Given, you know, we're 99 days, we're gonna spend the rest of this, uh, time talking about
00:19:19.020
candidates and, and, and policy and all that, as we see the take the house, the Senate on a national
00:19:24.140
level, how do you see from a state of your state surgeon general, how do you see us turning this
00:19:31.060
around as a country? Because the federal apparatus that the administrative state of public
00:19:36.100
health is clearly at dramatic odds with certain states, you know, Texas, Florida, a handful of
00:19:44.820
others that have surgeon generals like yourself and governors that have looked at the evidence,
00:19:49.220
looked at the facts and have come to radically different conclusions. How does that get sorted out
00:19:54.980
in your mind as a country? Yeah, Steve, thanks. That's a great question. I think you need new
00:20:02.340
leadership in positions that matter. And, you know, it's interesting, because I'm, I'm mostly,
00:20:08.340
you know, before this role, I was purely physician and scientist, like I did, you know, clinical research,
00:20:14.100
and I took care of patients. And that's what I did. Being in this role, you know, I've learned about
00:20:20.500
individuals who work in government and work in administrations. And, you know, I think you need
00:20:26.660
new leadership, and you need administrators who have expertise in redesigning the structure of
00:20:35.460
agencies, so that, you know, so that this type of really corruption, because there are scientists
00:20:43.460
that went along that knew that what was happening is wrong. I mean, there were, unfortunately, a lot of
00:20:48.260
my colleagues... Okay, hang on, hang on. I want to make sure. You're saying this is not incompetence.
00:20:53.700
You're saying these are not acts of omission. You actually think they're acts of commission.
00:20:57.540
This is corruption in the administrative state being corrupt, not just incompetent?
00:21:02.980
Oh, mostly. Yeah. There's some incompetence, you know, because, for example, I have a background
00:21:07.460
in research. So, you know, I can look at studies and see what studies make sense, which ones don't.
00:21:14.820
And some doctors might not be able to, you know, sort of navigate that. And therefore, they might
00:21:21.140
conclude that mask mandates are an effective way to control a pandemic, you know. So, there's some
00:21:26.980
incompetence, although that's a strong word. They just may not have the training, because obviously,
00:21:31.380
you know, they're smart people. But certainly, I mean, there's no question. I mean, this was clearly
00:21:39.060
a class act. This was, you know, individuals who had training and knew better deciding to do something
00:21:49.940
different for reasons that are known to God and them. Dr. Ladipo, how did they get to your social
00:21:58.340
media? The book is Transcending Fear. It is out August 23rd from Skyhorse. You can get it now
00:22:07.540
on Amazon, ordered. I recommend everybody order. It's an amazing journey of a man. You will learn
00:22:12.020
things about it that you can apply to your own life through the journey of Dr. Joseph Ladipo.
00:22:17.700
In addition, it is a stunning book about the crisis that not just that we went through,
00:22:23.860
that we're still going through. And Dr. Joseph Ladipo will be a prominent figure in sorting
00:22:30.260
this out for the nation. There's no doubt about that. What he and DeSantis did in Florida
00:22:33.780
is just flat out extraordinary, particularly given the weight of the administrative state
00:22:40.020
public health apparatus that was against them. So, it's an extraordinary book, Transcending Fear.
00:22:45.780
How do people get you on social media, sir, and follow you?
00:22:48.100
We've got a Florida Surgeon General Twitter, and people can follow that. And yeah, the book's on
00:22:56.180
Amazon. So, you know, I really do hope people read it because it goes way beyond public health. And
00:23:04.260
I know that there are a lot of people who can benefit, like I did, from their own journeys,
00:23:13.300
And letting you go, Dr. Ladipo, I want to nominate your wife for wife of the decade.
00:23:18.660
She certainly hung in there. As we say, she hung in there.
00:23:28.660
Thank you, sir. Honored to have you on here. Dr. Joseph Ladipo, the free state of Florida.
00:23:33.540
Let me bring in, Cortez, let me get you here quickly. You're going to hang with me for the next
00:23:38.340
hour or so to talk about economics like we normally do, geopolitics. Got General Bullocks on during a
00:23:42.820
second. But John Gibbs, you had an amazing piece over the weekend, the closing
00:23:47.540
argument for John Gibbs. And I got Peter Meyer, the guy running against these all over media
00:23:52.180
everywhere whining about, you know, the rich kid wine on every different time, every different
00:23:58.580
Tell me about Gibbs and what's the closing argument on Gibbs.
00:24:02.020
Yes. By the way, just first on Meyer, it really is amazing. Talk about somebody who, you know,
00:24:05.860
was born on third base and whining as if he doesn't have the resources, this trust of firing
00:24:11.140
whining that he doesn't have the resources to take on John Gibbs. But here's the case
00:24:14.500
for Gibbs. And I think, you know, what I did, I laid this out in my sub stack,
00:24:17.460
encouraged people to please read it, read it, closing argument in front of critical elections
00:24:21.540
tomorrow, including the Michigan third congressional district. And I give the three reasons why
00:24:26.100
Meyer needs to be fired, why he is totally unfit to represent the good citizens of West Michigan.
00:24:31.380
The first one is that he owns Biden's inflation, and that is key. There are collaborated Republicans,
00:24:36.420
and he is one of them who voted for the omnibus behemoth spending monster that fueled this inflation.
00:24:42.100
He also voted, of course, for the Ukraine package. The second reason is he betrayed Donald Trump.
00:24:46.260
Only days into office, Peter Meyer joined nine other Republicans in shamefully supporting
00:24:51.380
the sham second impeachment. And then the third reason is far more recently, he just voted in
00:24:56.500
favor of Nancy Pelosi's gun grabbing bill. And with so-called red flag laws that we know
00:25:01.780
are going to be used to remove guns from law abiding citizens to strip the constitutional rights from
00:25:07.220
those of us who simply have different political points of view from the regime. But then there's
00:25:11.540
also the pro Gibbs part. I don't want to just tear down Peter Meyer, even though he deserves it.
00:25:15.460
But the pro Gibbs part, the first thing is he's endorsed by President Trump,
00:25:19.300
enthusiastically supported by President Trump. He served four years very honorably at a very high
00:25:23.460
level in the Trump administration. He was one of the top aides and advisors who was counted on by
00:25:28.980
Dr. Ben Carson, who was a Michigan native son and somebody who also enthusiastically endorses John
00:25:34.740
Gibbs. The second reason for Gibbs is that he's an America first fighter. He is a stalwart. He will
00:25:40.100
represent our values of patriotic populism. For example, he insists that we defend our border,
00:25:45.780
the American southern border, not the eastern border of Ukraine, as Peter Meyer seeks to do,
00:25:50.580
because Peter Meyer prioritizes MSNBC over Muskegon, Michigan, unfortunately.
00:25:56.420
And then the last argument I make in favor of John Gibbs is his life experiences. This man,
00:26:01.140
he reminds me in some ways of Dr. Latipo. He's accomplished an incredible amount in a very young
00:26:06.420
life so far. He's still a young man, but what he has already accomplished, he graduated from Stanford
00:26:10.100
in computer science. He worked at the absolute highest levels of big tech, but he never bought
00:26:15.220
into the world view of Silicon Valley. So that is critical. You have somebody with our world view
00:26:19.220
who understands big tech from the inside. And I think that will be crucial on Capitol Hill,
00:26:23.700
given how much big tech acts like big brothers and tramples our rights.
00:26:27.700
Did Gibbs essentially walk away from him and get up to become a missionary in Japan?
00:26:32.740
I mean, that's a big part of his story. This guy's been the servant leader. These are the kind of
00:26:38.740
guys, Latipo and Gibbs. I mean, Gibbs is at the highest level. When you're at Stanford,
00:26:42.660
that's a ticket punch, correct? Right, correct.
00:26:45.140
Correct, Steve Cortez. So he graduates Stanford in computer science. He's on the absolute fast track
00:26:50.100
in Silicon Valley, and he gives it up to go and preach Jesus to Japan and to learn an incredibly
00:26:54.980
difficult language and live there for years. This is an incredible man of character and substance and
00:27:00.660
accomplishment. And speaking of the credentials, he also has to get a master's at Harvard after that,
00:27:05.220
by the way. He went down market. No, this is why we're winning. Look at the talent that MAGA is
00:27:13.380
bringing towards itself. Look at the talent. It's absolutely, it's, it's breathtaking. It is
00:27:21.300
breathtaking. If you see the character, the quality, the achievement, the grit, the intelligence,
00:27:27.620
this is why we're ascended. This is why we're ascended. Don't let them, don't listen to the
00:27:33.860
mainstream. Don't listen to the, this is why we're ascended. It's made up of people like Latipo and
00:27:39.620
Gibbs and Bolduc and Gritens and Lake and all of it, all of it. If you look at every aspect of life,
00:27:45.940
you don't have to go to Harvard or Stanford, right? You look at every aspect of life. Cortez,
00:27:51.460
this is why we're ascended, brother. Hang over a second. We're gonna take a short break. We've got Eric
00:27:55.940
Gritens by phone. We've got General Don Bullock, who's running in a tough one up in New,
00:28:00.900
the live free or die state of New Hampshire. That's one we can pick up if we get the right
00:28:05.700
candidate. Short commercial break. We'll be back in the war room in just a moment.

00:28:31.060

the great state of Arizona, why it's so important in this entire primary process and the underpinnings
00:29:18.820
of the big steel in Arizona. Mike Lindell is going to be one of my very special guests. He's
00:29:23.060
in court there right now to get the machines out and guess what? They're not losing. They're kind
00:29:27.220
of winning. It's very interesting. Okay. Let's go to Eric Gritens. Commander Gritens. I know you're
00:29:30.900
going around the great state of Missouri, a pretty hectic weekend out there. Donald,
00:29:34.580
President Trump had a couple of three things to say about your opponents and they were not positive,
00:29:39.300
right? He's unloading on truth, on truth social right now on your opponents in Missouri.
00:29:45.620
Tell us about that. How do people find you today? Because people want to know where do I go?
00:29:50.180
How do I help? How do I either walk a precinct or knock on a door or work a phone back? Commander
00:29:55.620
Gritens. Yes. Huge development last night. Donald Trump came in and slammed the rhino Eric Schmidt
00:30:04.500
for great dishonesty in politics. And that is exactly right. I'm the MAGA candidate in this race and
00:30:11.140
we're running against Eric Schmidt, who is a rhino. He's taken $10 million in Mitch McConnell money.
00:30:17.540
And President Trump is exactly right. These guys push out fake polls. They push out false ads.
00:30:24.020
Their entire campaign is built on lies. But here's the good news. MAGA patriots around the state of
00:30:29.940
Missouri, they've seen through the mainstream media lies. They've seen through the rhino corruption and
00:30:34.980
cowardice. And people are on fire, Steve. We're just leaving our first stop. We're doing six stops
00:30:40.980
around the state of Missouri today. We are just now leaving Hannibal, Missouri. We're on our way to
00:30:46.340
Kirkshire. We'll be in St. Joseph, in Springfield, in Rolla, and then back tonight in St. Louis.
00:30:52.500
Encourage everybody in Missouri, or if you've got a friend in Missouri, make sure that MAGA patriots are
00:30:59.220
getting out to vote tomorrow for Eric Gritens in the Republican primary for the United States Senate.
00:31:05.380
Things are looking very good, Steve. We're going to bring a victory home tomorrow night.
00:31:08.820
Commander Gritens, what's the website they go to?
00:31:14.340
The key website to come to is ericgritens.com. It's E-R-I-C-G-R-E-I-T-E-N-S.com.
00:31:22.340
And up there and on all of our social media, we have this latest story about President Trump coming
00:31:29.220
in, slamming Eric Schmidt for great dishonesty in politics. He sees it. MAGA patriots see it. This is
00:31:36.580
a battle between MAGA versus the Rhinos. And on Tuesday, MAGA is going to win. Encourage everybody
00:31:42.020
to get out and vote for Eric Gritens. We're going to take this race, Steve.
00:31:45.460
Steve McLaughlin Let me just two seconds on that. They had a poll yesterday put out by Remington,
00:31:50.340
something that the campaign manager, the campaign manager for Schmidt controls. It's his polling.
00:31:55.940
They put a thing, oh, Gritens is behind on Schmidt. The same time they put out a poll about the
00:32:00.900
presidential preference. Trump 42, I think DeSantis 18, Josh Hawley 6. But it's like a third of Missouri
00:32:07.700
voters. I looked at that and go, that is the most bogus poll I've ever seen. As soon as people
00:32:12.100
started looking at it, they go, this thing's trash. This is just they made up, they just made up the
00:32:16.100
numbers. I can tell you one thing. There ain't one third of Missouri Republican voters that have not
00:32:22.900
made up their mind about Donald Trump. That is just absolutely bogus. So great job. The guys at
00:32:28.500
Breitbart, Matt Boyle all over that. Blew that story right up from the beginning. So Commander
00:32:33.300
Gritens, fight on today. We'll track you down in the evening shows. Yes, sir. Will do. Talk to you
00:32:38.580
then. Thank you, sir. Commander Gritens, barnstorming around Missouri is this massive. Tomorrow is almost
00:32:44.500
like Super Tuesday, right? These massive races. Going to get Cortez back in a second. The last,
00:32:48.980
I think the last primary is in September. I think September 13th, it's in the Live Free or Die,
00:32:54.980
the flinty New Hampshire primary, General Don Bolduc. General, first off, Nancy Pelosi is going to be
00:33:01.300
in around, I think tonight, to Taiwan to visit the Free Chinese on that island, Silicon Valley West.
00:33:10.500
The Chinese Communist Party has said this is not going to sit well. In fact, this is going to cause
00:33:16.020
a major perturbation. What are your thoughts, sir? Well, my thoughts are, as the Biden administration,
00:33:22.900
with the help of my U.S. Senate opponent, have been national security risks, both at home and
00:33:27.780
abroad. They're weak, dangerous, feckless, and expensive. And as a result, all the America First
00:33:34.500
policies that President Trump put in place to make this country strong at home, so that we could hold
00:33:40.100
China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran at bay and in check, have all been reversed by this administration.
00:33:47.620
And so that leaves us weak in every area of the world, but most importantly, weak at home. And she's
00:33:54.580
going over there, like many others in the administration, and it's going to be something
00:34:01.460
that causes China to push back. Why? Because China has absolutely no respect for American power right now.
00:34:11.540
There's no peace through strength. Every institution is weak. They're involved in undermining every one
00:34:17.860
of our institutions. And so, you know, we need to ensure that we stand by the folks of Taiwan. But at
00:34:25.460
the same time, they, you know, China is unchecked by this weak, feckless, and dangerous administration.
00:34:35.700
General, you know about infiltration. I mean, you're a revered special forces officer,
00:34:40.660
a revered leader of men in combat. Do you believe, as you look at the evidence as
00:34:46.900
been presented, we know the FBI has done a terrible job here. In fact, Miranda Devine is
00:34:50.260
going to be on tonight in the five o'clock hour, the New York Post lead columnist to talk about her
00:34:55.140
brilliant analysis of the FBI and the laptop from hell. Do you believe the Chinese treat Biden
00:35:00.340
like a tributary state leader or somebody that's been compromised? Are you shocked,
00:35:06.180
knowing what you know about leaders of the world, just the lack of respect they show Joe Biden?
00:35:10.980
Yes, of course. They do treat him. They treat him like he's an extension
00:35:16.020
of Chinese policy, Chinese communist policy. And it's absolutely wrong. And, you know, they know that
00:35:22.740
they're going to get the support of weak and feckless Republicans and Democrats in the United States
00:35:28.740
Congress, people that have been bought, corporations that have been bought, sports teams that have been
00:35:33.940
bought. They are in our education system. They're undermining not only our education system, but our
00:35:40.500
families and our financial system and our political system. They they're buying farmland.
00:35:46.500
You know, and and all the only response by the administration and my U.S. Senate opponent
00:35:52.340
is to spend more money and to put us more in debt and and more at risk by our enemies from without.
00:36:00.660
But it's really the enemies within that we have to really pay attention to now. And that's why we need
00:36:06.820
to change people in Congress and get Maggie Hassan out of there and all the others and change the
00:36:14.180
complexion of the United States Congress to one of Patriots, America first, MAGA, American strength
00:36:22.180
agenda. That's what we have to do. Given all the crises we have on the southern border in this whole
00:36:29.860
debacle in Ukraine and now that the Western European economy is cratering, the government's
00:36:33.780
falling like in Italy, China, the South China Sea, everything in Kashmir, Pakistan,
00:36:38.740
all the hotspots in the world, everything happening. The mullahs announced last night that,
00:36:44.740
yeah, we have the ability to make a nuclear weapon. What what is that show of the John Kerry,
00:36:51.780
Joe Biden regime's handling of this situation with arguably next to the CCP, the most dangerous enemy
00:37:00.900
to the United States and our allies, the mullahs in in Persia? Yeah, you know, it's absolutely right.
00:37:07.700
And the fact that they say they're not going to make a nuclear weapon, you can't buy. They're
00:37:13.300
threatening one of our most important allies, Israel. And we need to stand by Israel. Biden's
00:37:20.260
visit there was was was terrible. He didn't stand by them. He didn't show strength. And he went to Saudi
00:37:27.700
Arabia and, you know, snuggled up to them. They don't respect our culture either. They don't respect,
00:37:34.260
you know, our American values and principles. And he is just showing weakness across the board
00:37:40.180
that is hugely dangerous. And the expansion of Iran with nuclear weapons and their financing of
00:37:48.580
violent extremist organizations has expanded exponentially under him. North Korea with their
00:37:54.900
missile launches expanded exponentially under him. Russia had no absolutely, you know, no pressure
00:38:05.380
not to invade Ukraine. You know, China is just expanding everything that it's doing to undermine
00:38:13.140
America. This administration is the most dangerous administration in the history of this country.
00:38:19.860
And it needs to go or our children and grandchildren are going to pay a huge price.
00:38:29.700
General, you're in a tough primary up there. Tell us about that. And how do people get to your
00:38:33.620
site to either volunteer or to find out where you're going to speak? Walk us through this. It's
00:38:36.980
September, but it's a it's a it's a tough primary. And then you've got a tough
00:38:40.740
general election opponent. Walk us through the race right now.
00:38:42.820
Sure. So the race is right now that we're leading all candidates, you know, in the polls,
00:38:48.340
and I don't do my own polls and my opponents don't do polls either because they already know
00:38:55.540
what they're going to say and people aren't going to believe them. But at the end of the day, we're
00:38:59.940
ahead. We don't have the most money because I don't take from big tech, big, big med, big energy,
00:39:06.580
big farmer in all those places. I take from Granite Staters over 50 percent of my donations
00:39:13.380
are under two hundred dollars. And I'm very proud of that. I won't be bought. I won't be sold.
00:39:19.060
Others are already bought and sold. And we know that Maggie Hassan, with her five million dollars
00:39:25.860
that she just raised, is already bought and sold, paid for and won't represent Granite Staters.
00:39:31.460
So what we've done is we've put in a grassroots campaign over the last two years of campaigning,
00:39:36.500
where my Republican opponents have only been in the race for a few months. I've been in this race
00:39:41.620
for two years. We have a thousand volunteers. I don't pay for people to put signs up, do door
00:39:47.380
knocking, anything like that. It is a grassroots campaign that has been built by going out to all
00:39:53.700
towns and cities. I'm the only candidate that's done that in the state of New Hampshire and talking to
00:39:58.740
people across the electorate. And so we're strong here. We have a 13 September primary.
00:40:04.340
Anything anyone can do to send me some money, whatever it is, go to dawnbaldick.com. Please,
00:40:10.020
please do that. And we'll be good. I want to say hello to your fans, your viewers, particularly the
00:40:17.220
ones in New Hampshire who are really glad to see me on Bannon's show today. We are moving forward and we
00:40:24.100
can beat Maggie Hassan and we're not establishment. And that is huge. And that is important to granite
00:40:31.220
staters. I spent a lot of time in New Hampshire. Absolutely love that state and love the people.
00:40:36.820
You don't become any better patriots than in New Hampshire. General, thank you very much. One more
00:40:41.060
time, give the website so people can get to you and follow you.
00:40:44.580
General Bolduc, please come aboard, volunteer, donate, do whatever it is you can. We can win
00:40:53.220
this. And I guarantee you, we get in the United States Senate. You're going to get a senator that
00:40:58.420
works for you. General Bolduc, thank you. Honored to have you on here and honored to have all the
00:41:04.340
all the war and posse up in New Hampshire. Thank you, sir.
00:41:06.500
Cortez, you went throughout Ohio. You've gone throughout all these states campaigning with
00:41:14.660
these folks. You've seen MAGA up close. You've seen the war and posse up close.
00:41:18.500
Tell me about the talent pool we got, brother. No, listen, you know, so we were just talking
00:41:22.340
about John Gibbs, of course, somebody. And look, Steve, let me just be clear. I think credentialism
00:41:27.140
is overplayed in our society, particularly in the corporate media and in politics. But here's the
00:41:32.500
thing. We can match them for credentials and then massively crush them when it comes to substance
00:41:37.780
and character. So, for instance, just looking at the candidates for tomorrow, you have John Gibbs,
00:41:42.020
who graduated from Stanford and Harvard. You have Eric Greitens, who's a Rhodes Scholar, Blake Masters,
00:41:46.580
who graduated from Stanford. All of these candidates match them on character and then absolutely smash
00:41:52.740
them when it comes to actual concern for regular everyday Americans for the deplorables out there.
00:41:57.700
And that's one of the reasons why corporate media so specifically targets those exact candidates,
00:42:02.980
because they consider them to be almost members of the club, and then yet they betray the club
00:42:07.780
in favor of regular citizens out there. Apostates, right? Apostates. Okay. Cortez,
00:42:15.140
Harnwell, all next. Economics, geopolitics, next in War Room.
00:42:19.140

parts of Texas, or Arkansas, wherever. Come, come one, come on. It's going to be great. Steve Cortez,
00:44:51.620
China. Nancy Pelosi's heading over there. And the Chinese Communist Party doesn't like it,
00:44:57.140
but more importantly, and I said this on John Frederick's show this morning, the biggest
00:45:02.260
events in your economic life right now are not taking place in the United States of America.
00:45:05.860
They're taking place in mainland China. The bottom's falling out of the real estate market,
00:45:10.820
the Ponzi scheme. Evergrande was supposed to put forward their plan for restructuring the $300
00:45:15.780
billion in debt. Didn't happen, right? They had a couple of bullet points because they don't have
00:45:19.380
any cash. The CCP announced a $150 billion bailout to try to keep the wolves at the door because they
00:45:25.380
knew Evergrande wasn't going to put forward a plan. Actually, in the Financial Times, Ben Harnwell sent me,
00:45:30.100
the Financial Times of London today, not in the paper but online, has said from the reporters in Beijing
00:45:36.500
that Chinese Communist Party officials are leaking to them that they are very nervous about social
00:45:41.380
unrest because Lao Beijing can't get to their cash. Steve Cortez. Yes, listen, a torrent of news,
00:45:48.500
all of it negative economically out of China over the weekend. You know, we had prepared the war room
00:45:53.140
posse for this last week talking about the precarious state of the Chinese economy using FXI as an example.
00:45:59.300
That's an American traded ETF and exchange traded fund where you basically buy the country of China
00:46:04.580
in one ticker. It got absolutely smashed last week. Just today, as we speak, Steve,
00:46:09.140
it's down over one percent. It's a pretty quiet day in the American market. But anything but quiet
00:46:13.300
for China. Why? Because they got that Evergrande news out over the weekend that they do not have a
00:46:18.020
plan to restructure. They don't have a plan because there is no plan, because they're insolvent. But
00:46:22.820
nonetheless, it's very upsetting for global markets. In addition, they also released their PMI report.
00:46:28.020
And this is actually the official PMI report from the government of China. And they even admit that they
00:46:33.380
are now in contraction mode on the purchasing managers index. We talk about these a lot.
00:46:38.180
There are great apples to apples comparison to view global economies. Unfortunately, the United
00:46:43.060
States has the lowest PMI before we get cocky about it, the lowest PMI in the entire G20. We're
00:46:49.060
at forty seven point five for our composite below 50 means contraction because we're in a recession.
00:46:54.500
But guess what? China now admits that they are in recession territory. It went down on manufacturing
00:46:59.940
to forty nine. So they're an incredibly precarious economic situation. And it's mostly because of
00:47:05.380
housing and what's going on there right now. And I think what is building in terms of the bubble
00:47:09.380
popping in China is going to make what we had here in the United States in 2008 look like it was
00:47:14.340
actually tame. And let me show a chart so I can show you what the year over year growth looks like
00:47:19.140
in housing prices in China. And this is going back one year. No, that's not the right one. Chart three
00:47:24.900
is the one we want to show, please. If we can chart three where it shows Chinese year over year. There
00:47:29.620
we go. Newly built housing prices year over year. That is, as you can see, almost a perfect upper left
00:47:35.780
to lower right downward slide into negative territory two months in a row now. We haven't been in that.
00:47:42.020
They have not been in negative territory for housing price appreciation since 2014. So the bottom is
00:47:48.740
falling out economically in China. We see it through social unrest, through riots, which right now are
00:47:54.180
on a relatively small scale, but likely to get bigger so that we have to view when we view the
00:47:57.940
national security scene in terms of what is going on with Taiwan. We must view it through the lens that
00:48:02.820
the Chinese Communist Party views it. And that is they are starting to lose legitimacy economically
00:48:08.660
with their own people because of this economic implosion in China, which, which is the deal
00:48:14.020
they have. They're going to, they're going to go pivot to hyper nationalism with the kids and say
00:48:17.780
foreign devils in Taiwan must go. But here's what you need to do for me, Cortez. And the reason I'm so
00:48:23.700
proud of the show, I'm bringing people, we've got hard one room, bringing people all over the world to
00:48:27.140
show the interconnectivity. We're nationalists. Doesn't mean we're stupid about how the world works. We
00:48:31.860
actually understand how the world works. That's why you can't be, if you, ladies and gentlemen,
00:48:36.420
if you think a virus that was cooked up in a military lab in Wuhan came and changed your life
00:48:42.660
and changed the direction of this country, you wait to the contagion that's coming out from the
00:48:47.540
capital markets in China. We are not, we are in fact, not only not cordoned off from that,
00:48:55.460
we're in the middle of it. Thanks to Larry Fink and Steve Schwartzman and Ray Dalio and all these
00:49:00.260
guys that have your pension funds and banks, everybody up to their neck of this thing, Steve Cortez.
00:49:05.220
Steve, if we had never given them two things, number one, we gave them unbelievably generous
00:49:10.740
trade terms and not even just trade terms. We offered them the opportunity on a silver platter
00:49:15.620
to ravage the United States in trade. Okay. And that was bipartisan. It was as much the fault
00:49:20.500
of Bill Clinton as it was of George Bush, as it was of Barack Obama. So number one,
00:49:25.460
we allowed them to ravage us in trade and that allowed them to get some of the revenue to build
00:49:29.860
these bubbles. But secondly, and maybe even more importantly, we allowed them full access to American capital
00:49:34.660
markets, which again, also allowed them to finance these bubbles that they are now facing. Bubbles
00:49:39.620
that they simply refused to reckon with back in 2008. One thing we did here in the United States
00:49:43.940
very well, because this is part of the American character is once we realized what a massive problem
00:49:47.860
we had, at least there was transparency about the problem. And we did many things wrong, but that is a
00:49:52.980
uniquely positive American attribute is transparency about the problem. The exact opposite in China,
00:49:58.900
right? Save face, paper it over, borrow more, push, kick the can down the road. And unfortunately,
00:50:04.740
because of how intertwined we are in capital markets and in trade with China, this is not their problem
00:50:10.180
only. This is the world's problem. And this is America's problem. To put a number on it, Steve,
00:50:14.340
7.7 trillion dollars. That is the total exposure of Chinese banks to the property markets of China, which are
00:50:22.180
starting to implode. So this, again, makes as bad as the 0809 housing crisis was in the United States,
00:50:28.100
this actually makes that look tame by comparison. And that is the reality, unfortunately, made that
00:50:33.620
reality made by the globalists, including Americans like Larry Fink, whom you mentioned.
00:50:39.140
We might've had kind of transparency. I still got kind of transparent the problem. We certainly didn't
00:50:43.860
have any transparency on the solution. All they did was add, all they did was add liquidity to the
00:50:48.820
the balance sheet of the Fed and bail out the elites. Okay, Cortez, you're going to hang with me.
00:50:53.860
I got Harnwell. We're also going to go to the great state of Arizona. We're going to take off of
00:50:59.060
