00:00:27.000I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:32.000Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:36.000If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:49.000It's Saturday, 1 April in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:00:53.000It's the first day of the second quarter of a very historic year.
00:00:56.000We've got a lot to get to today, so strap in.
00:00:59.000It's going to be packed for the next two hours, at least.
00:01:02.000I want to start with, I've got Jack Posobiec who's joined us for the first two blocks.
00:01:08.000We've got to get his observations and analysis, a lot of stuff going on.
00:01:11.000But I want to start with a very disturbing story.
00:01:13.000Greg Price, as you know, been on the show a lot.
00:01:16.000Greg, you had a Twitter thread last night that was very disturbing about the weaponization of government, the FBI trying to get to the bottom of all this.
00:01:29.000And part of the thing we're doing on the show today is to deconstruct not just what's happening to President Trump in New York City, but the entire apparatus of the far left backed by people like George Soros.
00:01:41.000Yes, I said it, George Soros, who did back, who's one of the biggest donors in back of Alvin Bragg, as much as they're trying to run away from that.
00:01:49.000And George Soros is trying to run away from that.
00:01:51.000Greg Price, walk me through this thread and if Denver, if we could get it up and split screen it as Greg explains it.
00:01:59.000So, Timothy Tebow, not to be confused with the former Heisman Trophy winner, but Timothy Tebow was an FBI agent and he was one of the agents assigned to the Hunter Biden investigation.
00:02:11.000And as people in the audience may recall, back over the summer, whistleblowers came forward to Senator Chuck Grassley's office, as well as Representative Jim Jordan's office, alleging that Timothy Tebow had deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop before the 2020 election.
00:02:27.000These whistleblowers were alleging there was an active campaign at the bureau to to silence the laptop investigation and prevent it from getting to the public, which is also known as rigging and stealing an election.
00:02:40.000When you go out of your way to make sure that the American people don't have information about one of the important information about one of the candidates, that is rigging and stealing an election.
00:02:48.000Well, I found his girlfriend's Twitter account and she you know, she in many of her tweets, she she was just it was just general conservative commentary.
00:02:58.000But a lot of her tweets, she was saying things that somebody who is not an FBI employee wouldn't be privy to.
00:03:05.000She was suggesting a couple of tweets that all of these whistleblowers are going to be proven wrong and that we have to, quote, stay tuned.
00:03:12.000Well, what exactly do we have to stay tuned for?
00:03:15.000Well, in several other tweets, she was saying that these whistleblowers are not as anonymous as they think they are, quote, quote, unquote.
00:03:24.000And she also had a couple other tweets that were kind of suspicious that made it made it seem like maybe Timothy Tebow is tweeting them from her account.
00:03:32.000But this is a girlfriend of this FBI agent basically saying that the FBI is about to retaliate against these whistleblowers who came to Congress about these guy about this guy that they're going to maybe expose their identities and retaliate against them.
00:03:47.000And that, you know, that raises some serious questions.
00:03:49.000I reached out to her, Tebow and the FBI for comment.
00:03:52.000And obviously, I didn't hear back from any of them.
00:03:54.000But after I reached out to her, she deleted her account naturally.
00:03:57.000So after you reached out to her, this is news.
00:04:03.000After you reached out to her, she took her account down.
00:04:06.000She took her Twitter account down and she locked her Instagram and Facebook accounts.
00:04:16.000And again, like this is this is the people need to understand this is the dirtbag agent at the center of censoring the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:04:24.000And one thing I forgot to mention is these whistleblowers also alleged to Jim Jordan that he was using January six cases to, quote, overstate the threat of domestic extremism in this country.
00:04:37.000And another thing was that when Tony Bobulinski told gave his interview with Tucker Carlson, Timothy Tebow was the point man in dealing with Tony Bobulinski.
00:04:46.000And he told them that he presented all this evidence to the FBI about how the Biden family had committed multiple felonies.
00:04:53.000But Tony Bobulinski said Timothy Tebow never followed up with him or his lawyers.
00:04:57.000And if people want to read, you know, I have the full full story going out through all of it on the sub stack posts that I wrote.
00:05:04.000OK, I want to make sure that we can link to the sub stack.
00:05:08.000Let me get up a soap again here for a second.
00:05:10.000Jack, and to get into the weaponization of government, we got to get the we got to get the foot soldiers and we got to get the higher up.
00:05:17.500Clearly, decisions were made on Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:05:21.420Remember, we're the first guys to really put the laptop up, laptop out, which we're very proud of, because I could tell when I was brought in to look at it, as you know, Jack, because we talked about it in five minutes.
00:05:33.160You could tell the financial compromise by senior level officials in the Chinese Communist Party of the Biden crime family, including up to Joe Biden.
00:05:43.820This was suppressed by guys like this FBI agent who was the agent in charge of this.
00:06:10.580Look, you take one look at this laptop and there's nothing left to investigate because it's all there for you.
00:06:16.880Typically, in an investigative situation, you get a lead, you get a source who walks in, you get a report from some wiretap phone call or something like this.
00:06:27.400You don't have the entire roadmap handed to you, but that's what you had in terms of this laptop.
00:06:33.780So when we've got the Hunter Biden laptop, you've got the entire Biden family and their ties to the Chinese Communist Party handed to you, gift wrapped.
00:06:44.040The fact of the matter is the FBI didn't investigate that.
00:08:10.440Well, I think the weaponization committee, led by Congressman Jordan, needs to start investigating whether or not the FBI is going to start cracking down on whistleblowers that have come forward about this anti-Trump bias that occurred at the FBI.
00:08:26.020And I think the whistleblowers who have come forward apparently are in danger of being retaliated against maybe, you know, maybe their jobs and futures are on the line by coming out against this.
00:08:36.300I think, you know, Congress needs to do its job.
00:08:38.460It needs to do its job of oversight and protect these whistleblowers and, you know, bring Timothy Thiebaud before Congress and have him answer some questions about this.
00:09:08.740But, you know, Congressman Jordan knows what he's doing and he'll definitely be on it.
00:09:13.940Yeah, that's why we work here at the War Room 24-7.
00:09:17.440Talk to me about McKay before I go back to Posobiec, a guy that does memes against Hillary Clinton is now found guilty of a major felony up in the Brooklyn District of U.S. Attorneys.
00:09:36.540I mean, this is one of the most, you know, this is one of the worst, like the First Amendment as we know it, I think, died yesterday with Douglas Mackey being found guilty of posting a meme during the 2016 election.
00:09:53.640You know, for people who don't know, he tweeted basically this joke meme making fun of Hillary Clinton voters, telling them that they could vote by text.
00:10:00.440And apparently, like, three or four thousand people texted this number.
00:10:04.840They didn't actually, like, cast votes at all.
00:10:07.300But because of this, this guy now faces 10 years in jail.
00:10:42.360This is what, they've weaponized this thing all around.
00:10:44.540This is what we're trying to get to today.
00:10:45.780Don't take the bait on just looking at the details of the Trump case.
00:10:49.040We're going to have Dershowitz on with Get Trump here in the second hour.
00:10:52.520But you've got to look at what's happening overall.
00:10:54.300Jack Posobiec, correct me if I'm wrong, brother, of the 4,000 people that McKay had go to this, the text, they can't find one person that voted.
00:11:16.660So they found that thousands of people had texted this number.
00:11:20.000However, if you actually look at the timeline, the text did not come from the tweets.
00:11:26.780The text came from the fact that the media, and particularly the news media, was putting these memes up everywhere, tweeting about them, talking about them, telling everyone about them.
00:12:01.380So if you go to memedefensefund.com if you're interested in supporting this fight, which isn't about one guy.
00:12:07.960It's about the ability of every single American to use the Internet and social media and just live your life, wear T-shirts, wear flags on your house, right?
00:12:20.640And if we're going to be different from the Chinese Communist Party, if we're going to be different from Russia, from Iran, whatever country, take your pick, then it's the fact that we have the First Amendment that we can say whatever we want about our leaders and not face criminal prosecution for it.
00:12:33.720Because if they can do it to him in New York, then they will take this around to every single district in the United States.
00:12:44.020Take that stand for freedom of speech.
00:12:45.560Because every single person that's ever posted to me, and what are they going to do next?
00:12:49.120They're going to go into the group chats.
00:12:50.560They're going to go into signal chats.
00:12:52.000They're going to go to every place where they can find information.
00:12:55.680If they've caught you looking at a T-shirt on the Atlantic City boardwalk, they're going to arrest you for that next if it's disparaging Hillary Clinton and her supporters.
00:13:04.720That's the standard that they're trying to set here.
00:13:06.640So this will go to the Second Circuit.
00:13:08.740And if it is not successful there, then it's going to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:13:17.520Greg, can you give your social media coordinates because we want to make sure that everybody gets this substack, reads this about the FBI.
00:13:26.040And the committee, you know, Jordan has – we realize these things are tough.
00:13:30.860I think it's now time for Jim Jordan to think, hey, maybe I got too full of plate with judiciary in this, particularly everything that's going on.
00:14:24.840And if you want to subscribe, go right ahead.
00:14:27.160And definitely check out the State Freedom Caucus Network, which is my actual day job where we're building the Freedom Caucus and state legislatures.
00:14:34.700That's a really exciting project that we're doing, too.
00:14:38.460We're going to have you guys back on next week.
00:14:40.240You're already doing fantastic work in some of these states.
00:15:03.360The CDC says that I should eat six cups of fruit and veggies a day.
00:15:09.080Now, there's zero chance I'm eating six cups of fruit and veggies a day.
00:15:13.700But according to a massive study, people who do eat healthy live longer, have less heart disease and diabetes, and have less cancer.
00:15:22.740Now, I take Field of Greens, and I'll tell you why.
00:15:25.200Unlike other fruit and vegetable supplements, each specific fruit and vegetable and Field of Greens was medically selected to support specific functions like heart health, liver and kidney health, immune system, and metabolism.
00:15:40.600I take Field of Greens to help me stay healthy.
00:15:46.060And if you're like me, you feel healthier, have more energy, your skin and hair look healthier, and it can help you lose weight.
00:15:53.760But the biggest benefits is that Better Health Promise.
00:15:58.100Take Field of Greens, and at your next doctor visit, if your doctor doesn't say something like, whatever you're doing, it's working, keep it up.
00:16:10.040Take Field of Greens, and at your next doctor visit, if your doctor doesn't say something like, hey, whatever you're doing, it's working, keep it up.
00:16:17.500Then return Field of Greens for a full refund.

00:16:53.980I want to draw your attention to one particularly dangerous trope that has emerged from the right-wing attacks against Bragg.
00:16:59.660If you've been following the Republican outrage machine, including many elected Republicans,
00:17:04.840you've probably already heard about the conspiracy theory that Bragg was handpicked and funded by the Jewish billionaire George Soros.
00:17:11.560In fact, Bragg was elected by voters in New York County in 2021, and it's well documented that Soros never gave any money directly to Bragg.
00:17:20.480He donated to a political action committee that supported progressive candidates who were seeking to be prosecutors, and that group included Bragg.
00:17:27.880But that is too nuanced for the folks who are trying to stoke fear and doubt in our judicial system.
00:17:32.720It's not an accident that the right-wing is trying to tie Alvin Bragg to George Soros specifically.
00:17:38.480The conservatives' use of George Soros as a boogeyman is steeped in racist conspiracy tropes,
00:17:43.760made to stoke fear among white conservatives that rich Jewish overlords secretly control things behind the scenes.
00:17:52.120The banks, the media, Hollywood, and now, in fact, the courts.
00:17:55.700Because these racist, deplorable conspiracy theories have a long history in this country and around the world,
00:18:01.300but it's been remarkable to watch how quickly this latest racist conspiracy theory,
00:18:06.480attempting to tie George Soros to Alvin Bragg in Trump's prosecution, has taken over the narrative on the right.
00:18:12.380It's being spread in conservative media, and even, as I mentioned, by prominent members of the GOP,
00:18:17.480like Congressman Paul Gosar, Ronnie Jackson, Senators Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Rick Scott,
00:25:23.140What are we doing on the positive side to make sure that these people get the appropriate treatment?
00:25:28.440Walk me through the Axios piece that you're one of the leaders in one of the groups.
00:25:31.920There are four groups that are, at the state level, pressing to have laws either change or new laws in the books.
00:25:39.720Well, according to the ACLU, there are over 430 pieces of legislation that are in the legislatures right now to ban surgeries and hormone treatments for children.
00:25:51.180Essentially, it's called gender affirmation care, which is actually mental illness affirmation care.
00:25:56.160We want to start protecting kids and their bodies, right?
00:25:59.440We want them to accept their bodies for who they are.
00:26:02.200We're basically stopping the bleeding by targeting the protection of children.
00:26:08.580And on top of that, we're protecting parental rights education, making sure that they don't get indoctrinated in these schools.
00:26:14.920We're protecting their minds, protecting their bodies.
00:26:17.380And then on top of that, we're still protecting women's sports, right?
00:26:19.820We're up to 21 states now that have banned transgender sports and keeping girls in their own leagues and keeping guys out of them.
00:26:28.400This movement's falling apart, and they know it, and they're getting desperate.
00:26:32.800You're going to see more acts of violence, Steve.
00:26:34.760I mean, you're seeing Alex Stein get assaulted in New York City.
00:26:37.800You saw Chris Elston, one of my good friends, Billboard Chris, as you guys know him online.
00:26:42.060He's getting assaulted at these rallies.
00:28:46.320Starting the new year, how will you prepare yourself, friends, and family?
00:28:49.460In the news, you're seeing constant government overreach, attacks on our communication and energy grid, worldwide conflicts, natural disasters, and the never-ending assault on our security and privacy.
00:29:02.140And relying on your cell phone in these scenarios simply won't cut it.
00:29:05.140That's why over the last year, I've been partnering with Satellite Phone Store to help you stay prepared and ensure your vital communications stay brighter.

00:29:50.080Now, Satellite Phone Store's customer support team is located in the United States of America and can help you pick the best plan for you.
00:35:36.180Steve, you can tell an enemy by the currency it keeps.
00:35:42.760You can tell an enemy by the currency it keeps.
00:35:45.620Now, the obvious ones who are cooperating with communist China on using the yuan instead of the dollar are Russia and Iran.
00:35:56.380But let's think about some of the other countries on that list.
00:35:59.860Iraq, where we put trillions of dollars of blood and treasure there, is now cozying up communist China.
00:36:09.060India, interestingly enough, which is supposed to be our buddy, has a long history going back to the old Soviet Union days of being closely allied with Russia and the then Soviet Union.
00:36:48.140But you've looked a lot at what it means for the United States if we lose our status as a world currency.
00:36:56.900And I think it's more complex than we've been talking about.
00:37:01.500One of the things that I talked a lot about when I was in the White House with other folks is the problem we had with the dollar as a reserve currency making it stronger, higher, more higher value than it would otherwise be, which spiked our trade deficit.
00:37:20.400And effectively being the reserve currency from a purely fair trade point of view was actually a big hindrance.
00:37:28.920The other thing that the dollar did as a reserve currency was skew a lot of our investment towards the housing sector rather than productive factories because it kept mortgage rates lower than they otherwise would be.
00:37:46.700And meanwhile, the Chinese were manipulating their currency to make that happen, right, so that they could steal our jobs.
00:37:53.660I want to make – this is not a defense of my – because it doesn't need a defense, but I just wanted to chirp in here.
00:38:04.880What the Bannon position has been is that we need to, as a country, determine about our currency – this is why I want to end the Fed – but our currency and over time, if we make a decision because being the world's reserve currency comes with lots of obligations, that would also go to the obligations of our national security apparatus.
00:38:24.880But it has to be a conscious decision of the American people.
00:38:33.020Yeah, just like the British – you've been very clear about it.
00:38:34.660No, because we – by the way, people should know.
00:38:37.280Navarro was really Trump's top guy when thinking about the economy, thinking about manufacturing, thinking about bringing jobs back to America.
00:38:43.980These were heated debates inside the White House, as you remember, right, particularly on the China deal and the complexity of currency.
00:38:50.200So these are not simplistic black and white.
00:38:52.320The point is, right now – and people kept telling us decades and decades – the Chinese – and I love your phrase.
00:39:12.360I trademarked that before I came on the air knowing you've been – go ahead.
00:39:18.020They are putting an alliance together, Peter.
00:39:20.700They're putting an alliance together, started with one belt, one road with capital investment, but they're quickly going to currency as what binds them.
00:39:28.520This has never been done against the United States ever.
00:40:02.000But if you look at it as a movie, it's problematic because the more you use sanctions on communist China, Iran, and Russia,
00:40:09.800the more incentive you give them to get off the dollar.
00:40:13.800And so what you set in motion with sanctions, I always said what we should do rather than sanctions only is slap on tariffs and punchline investment restrictions.
00:40:29.580One of the things I fought really hard in the White House with and wasn't as successful as I could have been because of folks like Mnuchin and Kudlow was cutting off our investment.
00:40:40.980There's no reason why our retirement accounts here in America, particularly our defense accounts, should be going over to fund enterprises, particularly military enterprises and communist China.
00:40:55.500There's a famous episode in the Situation Room when Hong Kong fell.
00:41:02.540And I was sitting there with Mnuchin and Kudlow, Bill Barr, and Mike Pompeo arguing to cut off the Hong Kong clearinghouses so they couldn't use Hong Kong to take money into the mainland.
00:41:25.560I'm going to do a sub-stack over the weekend and try to get it at peternavarro.substack.com, peternavarro.substack.com, because I want to lay this out.
00:41:34.180But I love being able to talk about this with you, Steve, because you've been covering this.
00:41:38.500Your series on the dollar decline is required reading, sir.
00:42:59.460I need – everybody go to birchgold.com slash bandit to get the three-part series, the third installment, the debt ceiling, the debt trap on the end of the dollar empire.
00:43:45.800Dr. Doom, Rabini – they've got somebody who's actually more doomed than Bannon and Navarro, and that would be Rabini – says that technically most of the banks in the United States of America are insolvent.

00:46:11.660I think this ad is particularly powerful in that after President Trump went to East Palestine, Ohio, and then started doing these policy videos, Dr. Navarro, you see the separation of what MAGA and America First is versus kind of the old Paul Ryan Republican Party, of which Governor DeSantis comes from that.
00:46:28.800And I think this is a very powerful ad.
00:46:30.420And I just want – on a policy basis, strictly from – let's leave personalities out of it for a second.
00:46:36.040But on a policy basis, there's no – there's Trump and then there's all the others.
00:46:40.600I mean all the others really are neoliberal neocons when you get to the heart of it.
00:46:45.140They haven't evolved past – they've given some lip service to it, but they haven't evolved past, you know, where the Republican Party used to be, which is can't win national – they talk about Trump not being electable.
00:47:27.140See, you're absolutely right to point out this schism between MAGA Republicans and the traditional Paul Ryan, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, Mitch McConnell Republicans where, you know, in the beginning Republicanism was just about deregulation and a lower tax burden, which served both the corporatists as well as the American people.
00:47:56.100And what Donald Trump brought to the table was what I've described as the Iron MAGA triangle of populist economic nationalism.
00:48:04.100It's the secure borders, certainly the end to endless wars.
00:48:07.440And above all of that is a strong American manufacturing base with using things like tariffs and buy American, hire American.
00:48:17.360And that's what Donald Trump stands for.
00:48:19.920He cares about black, brown and blue collar Americans and middle class families.
00:49:08.760The worst crisis I've ever seen in my professional lifetime.
00:49:11.920In the financial crisis under – this is – we're in a crisis.
00:49:15.880There's no doubt this combination at the beginning of World War III, but I want to go back to what you said.
00:49:19.940That's why with President Trump, he's taken Social Security and Medicare off the table.
00:49:27.360And that's why these guys have to come up with this budget.
00:49:29.440It shows there's discretionary spending cuts and there's defense cuts.
