Episode 2061： The Biden Administration Are Kneecapping The Middle Class By Doubling IRS Agents And Audits; Consumer Confidence Continues To Drop To All Time Lows; Mike Lindell Endorses Royce White
Stephen K. Bannon and Eric Prince join me in the War Room to talk about the new Coronavirus outbreak in China and why we should all be worried about it. We also talk about Ukraine and Taiwan and why the US should be worried.
00:05:20.600It's 80,000 or 60,000 IRS agents to go after entrepreneurs and Uber drivers, and the carried interest is just totally passed on.
00:05:28.860Explain to people what this bill really is, because I think you get to the heart of it.
00:05:33.160Tell the American people, in your perspective, what just happened over the weekend.
00:05:37.160Well, yesterday was a day of ignominy for the United States Senate, Steve, where on a straight party line vote, the Democrats voted 50 to 50.
00:05:46.900Every Republican voted against this atrocious bill.
00:05:49.580It adds another $600 billion of spending and about that much in additional taxes.
00:05:55.620There's no question, Steve, that this bill will make Biden inflation worse.
00:06:41.520Well, I think some of the people may have not remembered her.
00:06:45.100For those, just to refresh people's memory, she was the woman in the Biden administration, one of the top enforcement officials at the IRS.
00:07:00.360So what happened was that she used that agency, Steve, to target conservative donors, conservative voices like yours and mine, and Republican donors.
00:07:12.440And those were the people who got audited.
00:07:15.260Those were the people who had special investigations about them.
00:07:18.140We've seen what this administration, Biden, has done.
00:07:21.520You've seen it firsthand, how they have politicized the FBI and the Justice Department.
00:07:26.740I guarantee you that they will do exactly the same thing with these 80, it's actually 87,000 new IRS agents.
00:07:35.080They're not going after Zuckerberg and they're not going after Bill Gates and Warren Buffett or General Electric or General Motors.
00:07:41.180They're coming after us because we are the enemies to that movement.
00:07:47.060One other quick point, if I may, Steve.
00:07:49.860You saw recently that story that we're 40,000 short of recruits that we need for our armed forces.
00:07:56.640The Army needs 40,000 new recruits over the next two years.
00:08:00.880We need 5,000 more Border Patrol agents.
00:08:03.880Don't you think maybe securing our national security and our border security would be a higher priority than hiring 87,000 new IRS agents?
00:08:14.640Steve, has your analysis independently and the sources you pulled together, is there anything that you can point to that would say that this really is anything that you've been able to see in your research,
00:08:30.400that this has anything to do about inflation control?
00:08:34.400Because the Orwellian name of this bill is the Inflation Control Act.
00:08:39.460Can you point to anything of this bill, this Keynesian bill, this orgy of spending that will lead to either a cessation or a drop in inflation, sir?
00:08:51.900These people should be thrown in jail for false advertising and misleading labeling.
00:08:57.380This bill will make inflation much worse.
00:08:59.380By the way, most Americans understand that, Steve.
00:09:02.200I just saw a poll, like 6 out of 10 Americans think this bill will make inflation worse, not better.
00:09:07.620So the American people are smarter than the politicians think we are.
00:09:13.020I just listened to your fascinating conversations with Eric.
00:09:16.940And what is most heartbreaking about this bill, Steve, in my opinion, is do you know what two countries are the biggest winners from this bill?
00:11:59.240And the doublespeak here, you know, reaches just absurd proportions.
00:12:03.060It's almost like, you know, the most dictatorial countries in the world always call themselves the Democratic People's Republic of, you know, XYZ.
00:12:09.720Calling this the Inflation Reduction Act is just an absolute absurdity if you look at the reality.
00:12:15.360Steve Moore made a couple points that I'd like to expound upon.
00:12:17.560You know, the first one is that regarding energy, you know, look, this inflation that is crushing America, crushing the prosperity, crushing the spirits of regular Americans.
00:12:26.260We have consumer confidence right now literally at an all-time low in surveys going back to the 1950s.
00:12:32.580That inflation finds its genesis beginning, its headwater, unfortunately, in Biden's war on American energy.
00:12:39.460That really is, there's a lot of facets to this inflationary explosion, but that is the genus of it.
00:12:44.320That is the most critical component Biden immediately upon taking office declared war upon domestic, plentiful, dependable, affordable American energy.
00:12:53.840And the consequences have been incredibly grave.
00:12:56.040Well, that attack on American energy just got a boost.
00:12:59.160It is going to be on steroids now with this Green New Deal as passed by the Democrats in Congress.
00:13:04.860And then the second aspect regarding the IRS and the targeting of the deplorables.
00:13:09.720You know, nobody should be under any illusions out there.
00:13:11.820We have seen just how cynically our opponents on the left use government power and weaponize it to attack us when they can't win at the ballot box.
00:13:20.960So believe me, when the IRS becomes one of the biggest, most powerful, most well-funded agencies of the federal government,
00:13:27.380they are going to be cross-referencing with political lists, with political allegiances.
00:13:33.320And all of the people in this audience, all of us are going to be extra targeted by the IRS.
00:13:39.860That is a clear, clear goal of what happened.
00:15:01.420When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:09.860Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:13.980There'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.
00:18:33.460It took me hours and hours of research.
00:18:35.240And this is a topic that I am extremely well-versed in.
00:18:38.240But it's difficult to make sure that you have exactly the correct facts, that you cite them appropriately, that you present them effectively.
00:18:46.260So it's a lot easier to just spew the party line, to just act as effectively stenographers for the cathedral, for the regime, to act as PR agents for the Democratic Party and the White House, and just simply rely on effectively press releases.
00:18:58.900That's what so much of corporate media does.
00:19:01.680So it's hard to do the work, and I'm not trying to pat myself on the back.
00:19:04.540This is the least we can do as patriots who are fighting for this country.
00:19:08.240But just to be specific here, you know, I will tell you, I spent hours and hours on this article to make sure I knew the basics, but to find out all of the specifics.
00:19:16.220For example, the subprime part, to me, that is by far the most critical element of this.
00:19:21.560And I give the citations in my article.
00:19:33.980When it comes to subprime borrowers in the credit card market, increasing their balances, Steve, 50% in a year, which is by far the largest expansion ever, okay, ever in all of history, even in 08 and 09, that didn't happen.
00:19:48.940That tells me that this country is in an incredibly dangerous position right now.
00:19:53.020And corporate media wants to try to take one positive headline jobs number from last week and signal the all clear.
00:20:15.660And when we look at the forward-looking indicators, Steve, and this is what's so important.
00:20:20.140When we look at the forward-looking indicators, all of them, all of them point to an economy that is decelerating and that deceleration is intensifying.
00:20:29.100In other words, we're going downhill and we're starting to go downhill at a more rapid pace.
00:34:11.560There's with there's so many candidates around the country.
00:34:13.260Mike Lindell was first when these people were just it was just a concept.
00:34:17.520Why is it important in Minnesota, given where we stand now, given where the problems the city has, the George Floyd situation, what Omar's beliefs are, her deeply held beliefs?
00:34:34.580Why is it so important right now, Mike Lindell, that you have someone like Royce White?
00:34:38.340Well, we are we are at a different tip of the spear in Minnesota, Steve.
00:34:44.680Minneapolis, I mean, that was where most of these problems started with the riots and everything else.
00:34:50.120And I spent a lot of time in downtown Minneapolis back in the day.
00:34:54.020And there's there's still friends of mine that their businesses got burned down and they and they they're they're sitting there with nothing.
00:35:04.500They they came out of a lot of them that I know that came out of addiction, everything else.
00:35:08.220And we were going the right direction.
00:35:10.280And then along came Ilan Omar and and what's happened to Minnesota.
00:35:15.000Minnesota, I'll tell you what, Minnesota being tip of the spear, Steve, the whole country talks about me almost every day, except for Minnesota.
00:35:22.980They keep me completely out of the news there.
00:35:27.980They don't want to see it's a different kind of a takeover, so to speak, with the Ilan Omars.
00:35:35.540And and I actually had a thing at Amazon.
00:35:38.240I have an Amazon, a building next to me, one of Amazon's building, Jeff Bezos building.
00:35:42.700And there was a protest a few years ago and Ilan was next door.
00:35:46.500And the NBC came up to me and said, Mike, we know you don't care, care too much for Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
00:35:52.240But what do you think about Congress and Omar, what she's doing next door?
00:35:55.760And I and I said, let it be known for the first time and maybe the only time in history, me and old Jeff are going to lock arms against that woman.
00:36:04.400She is what she's done to Minnesota and this country.
00:36:08.160The direction they're taking us is just horrific, Steve.
00:37:13.220Not only is Royce White a man of courage, and as I say, courage is the most important virtue of what he's done in stepping out and the grief he's gotten,
00:37:20.940but he is one of the intellectual leaders of this populist nationalist movement.
00:37:25.420And I've got to tell you, an extraordinary individual.
00:37:27.560Royce, Godspeed for the next 24, 48 hours.
00:37:36.700But, Mike, I've got to tell you, the reason I feel so optimistic in a CPAC, to see the caliber of people, the candidates across ethnicity, race, religion,
00:37:46.540people stepping up for this MAGA movement for America First.
00:37:50.100And I just want everybody to know, if it was not for Mike Lindell and the personal sacrifice you've made, you know, a lot of this started.
00:37:56.380Carrie Lakes, really, her drive was walking away from the RGA meeting a year ago, calling me, and she said, look, they're all rhinos.
00:38:05.540They don't want to talk about anything.
00:38:06.940They, every time, you know, I wanted to talk about the 3 November movement, the election fraud.
00:38:12.120They put me at a, you know, they're putting me at a back table.
00:38:15.500And I said, look, walk out, come to South Dakota and to the cyber summit.
00:39:11.580But I'm telling you, everything for the last year and a half of people out there that working tirelessly, everything's come down to these two days.
00:39:35.300Then we're going to have all 50 states are going to be up there in alphabetical order for eight hours.
00:39:42.200We're going to tell you their current footprint, what their footprint is, what their lawsuits are going on, what counties are going to go machine free that we've already committed.
00:39:52.540Where are we at with everything and the blockers they have?
00:39:55.560We're going to say the blockers they have, the political blockers they have, like your Brad Rassenburgers, your Rusty Bowers, your Robin Vosses.
00:40:04.620And then we're going to show the movie Selection Code.
00:40:13.440And then I'm going to come on and I'm going to give you a little prelude of what's going to happen on Sunday.
00:40:20.180On Sunday will be the trial of the machines.
00:40:23.860And I'm telling you, everybody, you're going to – this isn't a thing where you can just say, oh, I'll watch a rerun.
00:40:31.820This two days works if you all get everyone you know to watch.
00:40:37.560This is a – it has to be watched in real time.
00:40:41.000I don't care what you have going that weekend.
00:40:43.000This will be the most important thing.
00:40:44.420Okay, I want – we're going to get everybody – are you committing right now to the American people that you will prove in your trial of the machines that the machines are at fault here and that you'll lead a crusade to actually take the machines out of – there'll be no – this will be beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:41:01.640You will get to a point of certitude that you'll be able to provide evidence, data, and facts that will make it unequivocal that the machines are a problem.
00:41:14.800Everything I'm putting on the line, everything has come down to this.
00:41:18.960Because the mainstream media is just going to say, this is another Mike Lindell, wild goose chase.
00:41:23.400He's running around, he's got these guys focused, and this trial is going to – but you're committing.
00:41:28.260You're going to put the evidence, the facts, and the data before the whole world, not just the American people, and to be able to criticize and –
00:41:38.720And actually, this last weekend, I want to thank all the horrible media out there because they actually – they went on attack, and it's out there.
00:41:45.960You can Google Moment of Truth Summit, and it's everywhere, everybody.
00:42:30.980They've attacked – we've got them on film saying there's been many – many – we don't have time to listen to their garbage, their lies.
00:42:39.240They've been lying to the people and shutting us down.

00:48:07.780You know, all sorts of violence and terrible things started in Minnesota after the George Floyd incident and spread across the country.
00:48:13.640And Keith Ellison, he allowed that lawlessness to spread.
00:48:16.400So we are going to retire him from politics in November, and then goodness will flow from Minnesota across the country.
00:48:21.640So this is a nationally important race.
00:48:24.540And, you know, the rhino establishment elites that control many state parties across the country, well, they control the state party here.
00:48:31.220And they propped up my opponent, who is a weak, moderate-at-best candidate.
00:48:35.900We need to send a message tomorrow in Minnesota.
00:48:38.120And we need all Republicans in Minnesota to get to the polls and vote.
00:48:41.200And then we need, you know, if you're outside of Minnesota, get your family and friends in Minnesota to get to the polls because this is so important.
00:48:47.280We've got to send the message that Minnesotans and Americans reject the radical leftism of Keith Ellison,
00:48:52.660but also that they're not going to allow party elites to force weak, moderate, you know, tinker-around-the-edges Republican candidates on them.
00:49:00.080No, we've got to stand up for the Constitution, for the rule of law, law and order, and the America First Cause.
00:49:05.560How do they find out today all the information on your site?
00:49:09.060Where do they go to find the polling places, how they vote, how they get out the vote, Doug?
00:49:25.900We've got our safe Minnesota plan, plans that we're going to implement on day one.
00:49:29.500Bold action on day one to make sure that we're restoring our state and leading the way for other states in the areas of election integrity and law and order and so many other things.
00:50:09.860And he's the same people that get very angry at us when we say that we have legitimate concerns with the way these elections are conducted.
00:50:15.880So overnight on Friday, they said that they were 95 percent complete.
