Bannon's War Room - Episode 2693： The Defamation Of Faith; Breaking Down NYT Fauci Interview

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:08.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:21.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:27.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:32.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:36.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:00:48.000 Okay, Thursday, 27 April, Year of Our Lord 2023.

00:00:51.000 Already a historic day in that a dean of a major business school agreed with Peter Navarro on something.

00:00:56.000 But I want to get into this.

00:00:57.000 I've got, and we're going to take a poll.

00:00:59.000 I've got Cortez going to join us.

00:01:01.000 I've got Navarro in studio.

00:01:02.000 Yours truly.

00:01:03.000 I've got Brett.

00:01:04.000 We're going to take a poll after Brett answers this volley from Morning Joe.

00:01:08.000 Who triggers us more, Joe or Mika?

00:01:11.000 So we're going to take that poll here in a second.

00:01:13.000 But right there, I think it's John Ward that was saying this.

00:01:17.000 And now, you know, the new obsession with Morning Mika is Christian nationalism. 0.56

00:01:22.000 Dave Bratt, walk us through, because the audience, I can tell you, the audience is already, their heads are exploding by what they just heard, sir.

00:01:29.000 Yeah, well, Joe, you know, Joe talks about the greatest story on earth, but I never hear him tell what that great story is.

00:01:38.000 And so I'll summarize it for him.

00:01:40.000 Jesus came preaching the gospel, comma, the forgiveness of sins, right?

00:01:46.000 There's your great story.

00:01:47.000 You never heard about that from Joe.

00:01:49.000 And then the other guy comes on.

00:01:50.000 He's got some stuff, right?

00:01:51.000 Sometimes religious folks are in a bubble.

00:01:53.000 But personally, I went to Princeton Seminary where Madison went.

00:01:56.000 And if you're familiar with Reinhold Niebuhr and human depravity and sin, and you go to think through, right, love God with your mind, as he said,

00:02:05.000 perhaps you might not stick all power on earth in the United States federal government as we're currently doing and ruining this country in the process.

00:02:14.000 Madison separated power vertically, horizontally, federal, state, local, executive, judicial, congressional.

00:02:22.000 You separate power, right?

00:02:24.000 We've absolutely collapsed that logic, turned it on its head.

00:02:28.000 And so these guys are all about platitudes, religious platitudes and all this kind of thing.

00:02:33.000 But if they want to get into it, you know, I'd love to debate any of them any time.

00:02:37.000 But on the moral front for your show, yeah.

00:02:40.000 But hang on.

00:02:41.000 Before we get to the moral front, just at the end, and this is where these guys go, he said what Christ said, love God with your whole mind.

00:02:48.000 No, it was your whole mind, your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole person, all three centers of what they call everything, all in, not just your mind.

00:02:55.000 These guys all think it's some intellectual exercise.

00:02:57.000 This is not an intellectual, this is not some debating society, right?

00:03:01.000 We're not trying to get you to be, we don't care, you know.

00:03:04.000 It sounds like the transhumanists, this is a, this is Elon Musk.

00:03:08.000 They're going to upload their minds into some digital format.

00:03:12.000 And so all their minds will be talking to each other for eternity, right?

00:03:15.000 Yeah.

00:03:16.000 That's not what the, that's not being, that's not the image and likeness of God. 0.98

00:03:19.000 I just say that as a stupid Mick, you know, traditional Catholic, having not gone to Princeton Seminary, Brother Brett. 0.98

00:03:29.000 Yeah, you don't got to go there, you just read the good book. 0.99

00:03:33.000 But the 60s liberal project, right, is fairly simple.

00:03:38.000 They turned Jesus, the Son of God, who's in the Godhead with the Father and the Holy Spirit, into a liberal, weak do-gooder.

00:03:46.000 An ethical teacher only, the Sermon on the Mount.

00:03:49.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:03:51.000 Jesus is in the Godhead at the creation, at the flood, where God destroyed all humanity.

00:03:58.000 There's some serious heavy-duty lifting going on right there, right?

00:04:01.000 And so they've distorted that.

00:04:04.000 And the return to God the Father Almighty, right, that is what this country needs, right?

00:04:11.000 I think Proverbs 1 says, the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, right?

00:04:17.000 That's the key.

00:04:19.000 I love that, yes.

00:04:21.000 That's old school.

00:04:22.000 That's Old Testament.

00:04:23.000 How do you relate that then to this discussion we've had in the first hour on the economy and choices?

00:04:29.000 How do you take the moral high ground on the choices that have to be made and the tough decisions?

00:04:34.000 The easy decisions are all years and decades behind us.

00:04:37.000 How do you take the moral high ground in the spiritual part of the great battle we have to save this republic through this fight over something as, you know, mundane as a debt ceiling and government spending, sir?

00:04:50.000 Yeah, well, fairly easy.

00:04:52.000 If he believes in this greatest story ever told, how much dealings do you do with a totalitarian surveillance state like China who tortures all its people, right? 0.90

00:05:01.000 Is the church going to be the church and stand up and do good instead of evil?

00:05:05.000 You had Elon Musk on yesterday, your discussion about him.

00:05:09.000 And, you know, that's fascinating.

00:05:11.000 So here you have a, you know, a billionaire libertarian that owns a $2 billion plant financed by China, right?

00:05:19.000 So what's the moral calculus there?

00:05:21.000 And so, you know, I don't want to tee off just on him, but he's a proxy for the modern mind, right?

00:05:26.000 He says, God may exist, God may not exist.

00:05:30.000 Well, you're clearly not the smartest man on earth, right?

00:05:33.000 You've surely heard of Pascal's wager.

00:05:36.000 You've got to make a wager because either you're going up at the end of this life or you're going down.

00:05:41.000 And from what I read, going down is not pleasant.

00:05:44.000 And so he's very smart.

00:05:46.000 He needs to make those decisions.

00:05:47.000 And he's also smart enough to know, you know, God the Father.

00:05:50.000 You can also watch Indiana Jones where they try to open the Ark of the Covenant to see what God the Father and the wrath of God looks like, right?

00:05:57.000 So there's hard decisions to make.

00:05:59.000 We're at war.

00:06:01.000 God the Father also makes artificial intelligence look like a game of checkers, right?

00:06:06.000 Just to compare the infinite mind to our mediocrity.

00:06:09.000 And Elon certainly must have some grasp for the beauty of the cosmos, et cetera.

00:06:14.000 Hold on.

00:06:15.000 Elon, Elon's spending his time shutting down poor Peter Navarro and Peter Navarro's connecting him to the CCP.

00:06:25.000 And next thing you know, the free speech platform, all the conservative Inc. fanboys rubbing up on.

00:06:31.000 You mentioned CCP and Elon Musk.

00:06:33.000 Hey, all of a sudden you're all of a sudden off.

00:06:36.000 Hang on one second.

00:06:37.000 I want to bring in Cortez.

00:06:40.000 Cortez, you're Jesuit trained, although you played football, so I don't know actually how much Jesuit training seeped into you in your time in Georgetown.

00:06:49.000 He's an Old Testament guy.

00:06:50.000 That's the way you play football.

00:06:51.000 He's an Old Testament guy.

00:06:52.000 Boxer.

00:06:53.000 The Colombians.

00:06:54.000 El Nino.

00:06:55.000 El Nino.

00:06:56.000 Right?

00:06:57.000 Not El Nino.

00:06:59.000 El Nino's a little boy.

00:07:01.000 I'm El Robusto.

00:07:02.000 Okay?

00:07:03.000 Something like that.

00:07:04.000 Not El Nino.

00:07:05.000 El Robusto.

00:07:06.000 Not in that sweater, dude.

00:07:08.000 Thankfully, football at Georgetown saved me from the Jesuits there because the Jesuits intended to make me a leftist and an atheist.

00:07:19.000 They succeeded in neither, thankfully.

00:07:21.000 But the reason I bring that up is to sort of join this discussion and to empathize with our Protestant and evangelical brothers and sisters who are suffering from some high profile folks, theologians and pastors, who are really doing great damage to the integrity of the gospel and trying to politicize it with a leftist version of politics.

00:07:40.000 Unfortunately, Steve, though, we Catholics can't get up on our high horse.

00:07:43.000 We have exactly the same thing going on.

00:07:45.000 We have celebrity priests like Father James Martin, a Jesuit priest who is constantly on the airways, very prominent on social media.

00:07:53.000 And all he does basically is make excuses for thousands of years of Catholic doctrine and Catholic belief.

00:08:00.000 And we have, even more importantly than that, the actual Catholic hierarchy here in the United States, the bishops, which time and again sell out the faith, sell out their parishioners, sell out the American people because they want to be accepted in what they deem to be polite society.

00:08:15.000 And also, I would add, Steve, because the United States Conference of Catholic bishops has enormous financial incentives to cooperate with the Biden regime, particularly as it relates to open borders.

00:08:27.800 You know, Christianity as a whole and certainly Catholicism has always believed in nations, right?

00:08:33.580 All the way back to scripture, we find the word nations repeated constantly throughout the Bible.

00:08:37.720 And the church has always believed in the sovereignty of nations.

00:08:41.200 And one of the real great successes of Catholicism has been how it has been able to adapt itself in the many nations.

00:08:49.000 Now we have Catholic bishops, major theologians going exactly the opposite direction and trying to pretend that globalism is somehow part and parcel with Catholicism or with Christianity, which, of course, is not the thing.

00:09:00.880 So, listen, it's incumbent upon all of us as the faithful.

00:09:03.560 And unfortunately, a lot of times it takes folks in the pew to stand up against the people in power, the people at the pulpit, whether they're pastors or priests.

00:09:10.920 And we need to do that in this current age.

00:09:14.640 Here's why this is important, and even for people that are not particularly of a religious bent.

00:09:19.260 Very quickly, this national debate we're going to have about the direction of this country, about debt ceiling and what that means, increasing more debt and cutting federal spending and what the role is.

00:09:30.760 Very quickly, this is going to get to a moral argument.

00:09:33.820 You're going to have – they're going to come back.

00:09:35.020 That's what I tell the Warren Posse every day.

00:09:36.580 They're going to come back and say, hey, you're kicking people out into the street.

00:09:40.000 You're taking stuff from the veterans.

00:09:43.280 You're stopping meals on wheels.

00:09:45.440 You know, I mean, excuse it.

00:09:46.520 And they're going to go back to Christ as a social justice warrior in certain elements of the gospel of St. Matthew, right?

00:09:53.360 You're going to see this over and over again, and they're going to wheel out a number of people that are prominent in the institutional Protestant church.

00:10:01.540 You're going to see, obviously, you're going to see people, a lot of the traditional bishops in the Catholic church – not the traditional, but the liberal Catholic church.

00:10:10.140 You're going to see rabbis.

00:10:11.600 They're going to come at you from every different direction that you're a bad person, right, that you're a belief of this, you're a bad person, and you're going against the central tenets of the Judeo-Christian West by actually getting your hands around federal spending and making sure that we can save the economy and save people's own individual circumstance.

00:10:31.200 And this is what's going to happen.

00:10:32.120 Brett, give me your assessment, and then I'm going to get Cortez, and then I'm going to get Peter Navarro.

00:10:36.380 Who cares what the mainstream media is saying?

00:10:39.580 In the economic reports that came out on GDP, the consumer is 70 percent of our economy.

00:10:46.400 That's you at home listening.

00:10:48.280 Over half of the folks in the United States are in that Judeo-Christian tradition, so you don't have to be passive and wave your hands.

00:10:54.980 You need to vote with your pocketbook, and you've got to start doing it right now.

00:10:58.400 When Warren Buffett knows to get out of Taiwan and start decoupling from China, that's a major hint.

00:11:06.380 Right?

00:11:06.920 And then USAID and American elites.

00:11:08.940 Not for moral reasons, by the way.

00:11:10.760 Yeah, no, no.

00:11:11.540 Not for moral reasons, Dave.

00:11:13.780 Practical, yeah.

00:11:14.620 Practical, right?

00:11:15.880 So he's decoupling just on pure economic financial calculations.

00:11:20.520 Christians should know better about who we're doing business with.

00:11:23.340 And then on the war front, right, these bioweapons in Sudan, Ukraine, all throughout Africa, RFK Jr. has documented all of that.

00:11:31.960 There's one reason USAID and the American elites have put those bioweapons.

00:11:37.320 It is because they don't believe those people are as worth as much as the elites are.

00:11:41.440 They're expendable.

00:11:42.900 Those people are not made in the image of God.

00:11:45.260 The left refers to humanity, and this is just a disgrace in their own terms, to not treat these people as made in the image of God, our brothers and sisters.

00:11:56.260 It's a moral disgrace.

00:11:57.820 And you, the American people, need to wake up and start spending your dollars and saving your dollars for a rainy day in an emergency, which is about to come.

00:12:06.960 But park in the rest of it and things that share the values and virtues that you hold dear from the Judeo-Christian West.

00:12:15.280 Cortez, your comments.

00:12:17.120 Sure.

00:12:18.120 It's important that we make the moral case for prosperity because the reason, the primary reason that we believe in broad prosperity, okay, in the principles of subsidiarity, meaning power, economic and political power, is diffused throughout the country as much as possible,

00:12:33.600 is not so that gazillionaires can land helicopters on yachts.

00:12:38.140 I mean, yes, that will happen, and that's fine, but that's not the goal.

00:12:41.420 It's so that families can be prosperous and strong, so that they can support their churches, they can support their private schools, they can support all the institutions that form civil society, not centralized government power.

00:12:53.860 And I would also add this, in all of human history, okay, you just have to be a student of history.

00:12:58.400 The most fierce opponent of the church everywhere, when I say the church, I mean Protestant, Catholic, whatever, of the Christian church, has always been centralized state power.

00:13:08.200 So the fact that the regime has been able to co-opt so many pastors, theologians, bishops, is really a shame, but it stands against the lessons of history, which again means that we need broad prosperity, we need power to be diffused, we need the principles of subsidiarity, and we need the church to be a check on state power rather than a partner with state power.

00:13:30.180 Yeah.

00:13:30.620 Cortez, you're going to stick with us.

00:13:31.860 Dave, Brett, what's your social media?

00:13:34.280 How do people get to you, Dean?

00:13:36.520 Yep, yep, just Brett Economics on Getter.

00:13:40.020 I post all the economics.

00:13:42.620 I hope you share it with your young folks, and I'm always at the School of Business, third floor.

00:13:47.700 I get a lot of war room folks coming by to visit.

00:13:51.480 I want all the war room folks.

00:13:52.820 By the way, let me get this right.

00:13:54.140 You're a graduate of where Madison went, the Princeton Theological Seminary.

00:13:58.260 You're a PhD.

00:13:59.220 You're a PhD in economics.

00:14:00.580 You won't let me call you doctor.

00:14:02.100 And you're a tennis pro, right?

00:14:04.100 You're all three of those?

00:14:05.100 The first two are true, and the third is gravely exaggerated.

00:14:10.880 You weren't a tennis coach, right?

00:14:14.740 Yeah, I taught.

00:14:15.760 I taught rich elites to make my way through grad school.

00:14:19.380 Yeah, exactly.

00:14:20.220 You look like every guy down here in Palm Beach.

00:14:23.160 Okay.

00:14:23.780 Okay.

00:14:24.340 Okay.

00:14:25.200 Short commercial break.

00:14:26.400 Dave, Brett, thank you very much.

00:14:27.800 Great work.

00:14:29.000 We're going to get back.

00:14:29.840 We got Dr. Peter Navarro, Steve Cortez.

00:14:32.160 We're going to go through some more economics.

00:14:34.920 Actually, Navarro is going to give us the moral argument for the war room posse as head of the creditors committee,

00:14:41.500 because they're going to come at you from every way.

00:14:43.400 You're screwing up the economy.

00:14:44.880 You're hurting children.

00:14:46.160 But most importantly, remember this. 0.95

00:14:48.180 You're a bad person. 0.98

00:14:49.660 You're a bad person for doing this. 1.00

00:14:51.900 All next in the world.

00:14:53.120 We rejoice when there's no more.

00:14:55.680 Let's take down the CCP.

00:14:59.580 Inflation has consequences.

00:15:01.740 As the Fed raises interest rates to combat out-of-control government spending,

00:15:06.520 long-term bonds have diminished in value, crippling banks.

00:15:10.580 Depositors are holding their breath, and investors are bailing on bank stocks.

00:15:16.060 Diversification has never looked more important to you.

00:15:20.560 The recent surge in gold prices is directly tied to the extreme market volatility right now.

00:17:27.180 Why are the central banks throughout the world buying gold at historic levels, 22 and now 23 starting off?

00:17:32.960 We make the argument, and now Foreign Policy Magazine's picking up, that the BRICS are really going to a gold standard, right, 0.99

00:17:39.960 because of buying gold hand over fist and getting away from the United States.

00:17:43.020 Dollar Argentina, I think, last night announced they're going to start doing things in one.

00:17:46.940 So it's all happening quite rapidly.

00:17:49.200 You want to understand it, go to Birchgold.com slash Bannon.

00:17:52.580 Bannon and get the end of the dollar empire, including the third one, the debt trap.

00:17:57.880 It looks like it's ripped from today's headline.

00:18:00.460 You're going to get immersed.

00:18:01.420 And make sure you go check out all the free information you got.

00:18:03.520 And talk to Philip Patrick.

00:18:04.400 You go on the site.

00:18:05.540 You can call and get a specialist.

00:18:07.180 You get all the information about precious metals.

00:18:09.760 Dr. Navarro.

00:18:11.620 First off, your substack, you and Cortez, your substacks are on fire.

00:18:15.560 I want everybody to go to Peter Navarro.

00:18:17.140 What's the substack they go to?

00:18:18.280 PeterNavarro.Substack.com.

00:18:20.140 PeterNavarro.Substack.com.

00:18:22.220 Great info.

00:18:22.660 Three to four times a week.

00:18:24.300 I'm putting up, I like to call it the Mike Tyson version of the war room.

00:18:29.220 It's kind of like the eight minute read, whereas you get like beautiful four hours from the

00:18:35.300 admiral.

00:18:36.540 And yesterday was a perfect example.

00:18:39.040 I mean, that piece about Tesla going to China and putting GM and Ford out of business.

00:18:46.440 Nobody out there in the financial press had that.

00:18:48.480 They're scratching their head figuring out what's going on.

00:18:50.500 But let me, look, I found that discussion.

00:18:54.520 This is really deep, good stuff on the war room.

00:18:56.860 When I listen, let's remember like the sinister Machiavellian force that's driving all of

00:19:04.020 this.

00:19:04.340 You've got a Democrat party, which has decided that they have to turn MAGA into extremists 0.98

00:19:10.440 and Christians into terrorists. 0.97

00:19:13.060 I mean, it's as simple as that. 1.00

00:19:14.600 And so Mika and Morning Joe become effectively the useful idiots to spin doctors for the left. 0.99

00:19:22.120 And they dutifully do their duty. 1.00

00:19:24.400 They pick up their big checks at MSLSD.

00:19:28.400 And it's just, I mean, how many times can we be fooled again by all of this?

00:19:35.020 And mainstream, Main Street Christianity embraces God, family, and country.

00:19:42.280 And when they see things like the young children undergoing sex change operations without the consent of

00:19:53.520 their parents, their heads explode.

00:19:58.120 And they become participants in this political process.

00:20:03.440 And that's not extremism.

00:20:05.620 It's moral.

00:20:06.680 It's a moral fiber.

00:20:08.240 I wish Mika and Morning Joe had an ounce of moral fiber in that. 1.00

00:20:11.840 They're just useful idiots for the left, sir. 1.00

00:20:16.360 We're going to get in a lot more than this. 1.00

00:20:17.640 The reason is they're going to call you everything in the book as we go through this process.

00:20:21.120 And people should know this process is going to take us all the way up to the 2024 election,

00:20:25.280 the debt ceiling, because now it's obviously going to be a rolling.

00:20:28.540 It's a rolling crisis, as we've talked about.

00:20:30.580 And now it's going to be up in your grill.

00:20:32.020 So, Cortez, I want to talk about Vernado, because yesterday in the New York Times, they had the

00:20:37.120 lead story.

00:20:37.860 They finally caught up with you in the war room about the dire commercial real estate market

00:20:45.000 in Manhattan.

00:20:47.260 That was a tee-up for today.

00:20:49.540 What happened today, sir, that reinforced what's happening?

00:20:52.120 Yes, unfortunately, more terrible news.

00:20:54.860 And by the way, we're always glad to effectively work as producers for MSNBC, for Bloomberg,

00:21:00.760 for the New York Times, being well ahead of them and knowing that they're going to eventually

00:21:04.560 catch up to us.

00:21:05.440 But all kidding aside, some really bad news, again, out today from Vernado.

00:21:10.240 This trades under the ticker VNO.

00:21:12.520 Vernado is a REIT, real estate investment trust, publicly traded under that ticker.

00:21:17.400 It owns primarily real estate office towers in the New York City area.

00:21:21.580 But this is really fascinating, because Vernado fits very neatly into sort of exactly the thesis

00:21:25.960 that I have, which is that these city centers, particularly in the terribly run Blue City 0.98

00:21:31.560 jurisdictions, that they are done and that they present a massive economic risk far beyond

00:21:37.160 the boundaries of those cities.

00:21:38.420 And Vernado, specifically, like I said, it's very New York-centered.

00:21:41.200 Beyond New York, though, some of their marquee properties are the Merchandise Mart in Chicago,

00:21:45.540 one of the largest buildings in the world that used to be owned by the Kennedy family.

00:21:48.980 And in San Francisco, the famous 555 California Street building.

00:21:53.680 All of those buildings, Center City, San Francisco, The Loop in Chicago, and now New York City,

00:21:58.700 all of those locations are having tremendous problems.

00:22:01.540 And Vernado suspended its REIT.

00:22:04.060 This was very surprising to the market.

00:22:05.580 Overnight, it announced it is, excuse me, suspended its dividend.

00:22:08.240 It is suspending its dividend for the rest of the year.

00:22:11.740 Now, Steve, one reason this is so important is that a reason to invest in REITs traditionally

00:22:16.260 has been exactly for the dividend.

00:22:18.200 REITs, in a lot of ways, functioned like bonds.

00:22:20.800 They were considered to be sort of safe, sort of boring, but paid you a pretty good yield.

00:22:24.620 And so they were really considered sort of stocks for grandma.

00:22:27.480 Well, they're anything but under the Biden regime and because of the inflation that has

00:22:31.540 been unleashed.

00:22:32.500 And so they are suspending their dividend for the rest of the year.

00:22:35.060 The market took it very, very poorly.

00:22:36.640 As we speak right now, V&O is down 3% on the day.

00:22:40.460 It's been down as much as 13% overnight.

00:22:43.260 So really, really volatile trade.

00:22:44.980 And if we can pull up chart one, I'd like to show the history of Vernado since Joe Biden

00:22:49.760 took office, because I think this is very telling.

00:22:51.480 So that chart goes back to January of 2021.

00:22:55.080 Look at what Vernado has done since Joe Biden took office.

00:22:58.660 This is what, and I believe this is far beyond just this company.

00:23:01.420 It's not company specific.

00:23:02.780 This is reflective of what's going on in office towers across America.

00:23:06.920 So you can see there at the very beginning, because Joe Biden did inherit an economy with

00:23:11.160 a lot of momentum and without inflation, there was a bit of an uptick, but it sure didn't

00:23:15.260 last long, topped out above $50 and has basically crashed ever since.

00:23:20.440 Since the day Joe Biden took office, Vernado has lost over 60% of its value.

00:23:26.220 And again, the problems here are not company specific.

00:23:29.440 And by the way, I have no opinion on the stock after it's been killed like this.

00:23:32.400 Maybe it's even a buy.

00:23:33.240 I don't know.

00:23:34.240 What I'm saying is it's a reflection of a larger macroeconomic truth.

00:23:38.380 Yeah.

00:23:38.700 Yeah, Steve, let me jump in here, because it's not just a cyclical macro phenomenon going on.

00:23:46.540 It's also a pandemic-related structural shift related to the rise in remote workers.

00:23:53.940 And I found it, here's a conspiracy theory for you.

00:23:56.500 I mean, I found it really interesting that what I call the Zeus of Wall Street, Jamie Dimon,

00:24:01.680 came out a couple of weeks ago and decreed that everybody needs to go back to the office

00:24:07.060 if you wear a white collar.

00:24:08.620 And I'm wondering, you know, what kind of financial interest JT Warren has wrapped up

00:24:13.080 in that real estate market.

00:24:13.960 But hang on.

00:24:14.560 What he did also, though, he said he's having a 22% cut, I think, in New York City.

00:24:18.940 He wants to move stuff down to Tampa and other regional offices.

00:24:22.080 Speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

00:24:23.860 Do as I say, now what I do.

00:24:25.440 By the way, I think he made that announcement from a remote location.

00:24:28.980 Can we put the chart back up, the one you just talked about?

00:24:34.280 Because here's what this is emblematic of.

00:24:37.620 It's not just the company Vernado.

00:24:40.620 It's the city centers.

00:24:42.400 You have to have robust cities, these big cities, to have a thriving, prosperous economy.

00:24:48.220 Okay?

00:24:48.340 Now, when you look at that, that means all the other jobs of the restaurants, of the

00:24:53.060 little food kiosk.

00:24:54.540 Yeah, multiplier effect.

00:24:55.720 Multiplier effect.

00:24:56.580 Of the drugstores that are down there, the stores that people go shopping in their lunch

00:25:00.760 hour, the whole vibrancy of what these great cities are.

00:25:04.340 That's why Chicago, L.A., San Francisco, and New York City look like, you know, they look

00:25:10.840 like...

00:25:11.200 When these populations thin out, as there's fewer people, crime goes up because the criminals

00:25:18.020 allowed to roam free.

00:25:18.880 So part of the problem, too, is the Democrats, particularly in places like Chicago and New

00:25:23.560 York, where they have these Soros-backed prosecutors who basically let anybody out who does anything

00:25:30.200 wrong.

00:25:31.900 And the remote thing, just one last thing, I'd like to get Cortez's take on this.

00:25:36.100 It's like, the big debate now is whether remote workers are more or less productive than if

00:25:43.620 they're forced to go to the office.

00:25:45.120 And yeah, like the Jamie Diamonds in this world, you know, they don't have kids that they got

00:25:50.080 to take to daycare and school.

00:25:52.000 They don't have to sit in two hours of traffic on the Long Island freeway.

00:25:55.540 And it's going to be a battle.

00:25:58.260 And I think what's going to happen is you're going to see corporations split into those who 0.52

00:26:04.060 are going to get remote workers and those who are going to try to get them.

00:26:07.280 But here's, Cortez, here's the one thing that's going to show you, I think, is that

00:26:11.280 these big cities are going to be much younger and they're going to be much poorer.

00:26:15.640 And that's going to have a massive implication to the United States.

00:26:18.600 You're going to have cities of younger people because middle class and families can't educate 0.99

00:26:23.360 the kids and the people that can afford to get out of town because it's been hollowed

00:26:28.140 out and the crime's out of control.

00:26:29.680 You're going to have younger, poor, major cities.

00:26:32.460 And they're going to become more residential.

00:26:35.040 And that means the tax base is going to be lower.

00:26:37.180 I mean, Mero Bowser, the mayor of D.C., is trying to press regulations that force people

00:26:43.920 to go back to the office.

00:26:45.820 So this is the crime-infested city now.

00:26:47.900 Cortez, your thoughts?

00:26:49.420 Yeah.

00:26:49.660 So listen, you're exactly correct.

00:26:51.760 It's the confluence of three factors here.

00:26:53.640 It's Biden's out-of-control inflation, OK, because these office towers have been financed upon

00:26:58.640 an assumption of sustainable low interest rates.

00:27:01.220 That is now gone.

00:27:02.140 So that's the first factor, macroeconomic.

00:27:04.280 The second are the lockdowns, the draconian, illegal, and unscientific lockdowns, which

00:27:09.160 force people to learn to work remotely, even if it's not as efficient.

00:27:12.840 They had to adapt, and they did.

00:27:14.900 And then the third aspect, which we can't overlook, is this crime aspect.

00:27:17.840 As it pertains to, remember, this crime emanates from the summer of 2020, which was carnage

00:27:22.900 all over America with the out-of-control BLM riots that devastated these city centers, and 0.93

00:27:28.940 they have remained dangerous places ever since then.

00:27:33.160 All you have to do is go and walk around the city centers of New York, Chicago, L.A., San

00:27:37.400 Francisco to see that.

00:27:38.780 There aren't very many people.

00:27:40.020 The people you do see, and I worked in the loop for 25 years in Chicago, the people you

00:27:44.380 do see are sketchy, are up to no good.

00:27:46.920 That is simply the reality.

00:27:48.160 Consequently, law-abiding, upstanding citizens don't want to go there, understandably.

00:27:53.140 So all of these factors put together-

00:27:54.480 It's Rudy when you need them.

00:27:55.080 The macroeconomic, the remote work, and the crime, all of it, it's a confluence that's

00:28:01.300 creating a massive commercial real estate crisis.

00:28:04.660 Cordes, I just want to hold you for a couple minutes on the other side to talk about overall

00:28:07.960 the view of the economy, and then your ideas and concepts on Fauci.

00:28:11.800 We've got Natalie's coming, this big interview of Fauci in the New York Times, Peter Navarro

00:28:15.300 is all over.

00:28:16.320 Short commercial break.

00:28:17.300 We're going to be back in the forum in just a second.

00:28:19.360 In my younger days, I was a naval officer on a destroyer.

00:28:34.720 In fact, I was the A-gang officer in charge of all the engineering systems that were not

00:28:39.700 main propulsion, and one of those was air purification.

00:28:43.680 And I can tell you, the standards of the United States Navy are second to none.

00:28:47.200 If all home air purifiers are the same, why did the U.S. Department of Defense select

00:28:52.720 EnviroCleanse to protect and purify the air on board our Navy ships?

00:28:57.440 Because EnviroCleanse, advanced mineral technology goes beyond ordinary HEPA filters to destroy

00:29:03.800 airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses, including COVID.

00:29:09.280 EnviroCleanse is the new science in air purification, and now you can order one for your home.

00:29:15.080 This is how you help stop colds and flus from taking your whole family down.

00:29:19.860 This is how you destroy allergy-inflaming toxins and mold from the air your family breathes.

00:29:24.520 In fact, this hospital-grade technology is so powerful that it promises far fewer colds

00:29:30.320 and allergies and better sleep.

00:29:59.920 Steven K.

00:30:01.040 Okay, we've got a lot to get to, so we've got to chop some wood here.

00:30:08.780 Let's put up the chart.

00:30:09.860 Cortez, walk us through where we are, what people think of this economy, sir.

00:30:15.400 Yeah, so this is chart number two to the folks in the control room.

00:30:18.220 This is from Fox News, brand new pulling out about the state of the economy.

00:30:21.940 And they asked the question, for your family, is the economy getting better, worse, or the same?

00:30:26.260 70%, and this is certainly, this affirms a lot of recent polling that we've seen.

00:30:32.020 It's roughly in this area from 65% to 80%, given an extremely pessimistic view of their situation or the broad economy.

00:30:40.020 But in this specific poll, 70% say the economy is getting worse for their family.

00:30:45.580 That is the worst in the history of this poll.

00:30:48.800 That specific polling goes back about two decades.

00:30:51.420 So, again, Steve, unfortunately, we keep setting the worst kinds of records right now.

00:30:56.920 The kinds of records that you do not want to set were either the worst ever or the worst since 08, 09 on so many metrics.

00:31:04.920 You know, yesterday, Steve, we showed on the show the shipment of boxes, of boxes for shipping, cardboard boxes, other boxes for shipping.

00:31:10.880 And we showed how that has dropped at a more precipitous pace than even the 08, 09 recession.

00:31:16.900 I posted that after war on my social media, and that post really went nuts.

00:31:20.860 I think lots of people who aren't political at all may not agree with us philosophically said, whoa, something is really going wrong here, right?

00:31:27.680 I mean, if the trucks are telling us there's a problem, and if the paper box and cardboard box companies are telling us that their shipments are plunging, there are very real problems in the economy.

00:31:37.180 And regular Americans know this.

00:31:38.760 You don't have to be an economist to know that at the kitchen table, when you're looking at your budget, you are incredibly stressed right now.

00:31:44.580 There's great anxiety in the country, not my opinion, not yours, the opinion of the American people themselves.

00:31:50.140 Hey, Steve, Steve, go back and tie that poll to the fact that we had above-expected consumer spending this time and why that's not sustainable.

00:32:01.380 Because that poll says it all, right?

00:32:04.360 Yeah.

00:32:04.940 Consumer sentiment dying.

00:32:07.400 Correct.

00:32:08.260 In this GDP report, and that does seem contradictory, right?

00:32:10.620 Why would the GDP report have a relatively strong consumer component?

00:32:14.360 Terrible overall GDP report, by the way.

00:32:16.400 I mean, a massive miss, much slower growth than was expected, much higher inflation than was expected also within this report on the PCE gauge.

00:32:24.900 So this was a very much stagflationary report.

00:32:28.080 But to your question, Peter, within the report, why the consumer, I really believe a couple things.

00:32:33.160 First, this is the last gasp for the consumer of the last of the stimulus that was incoming over the last couple of years, the exorbitant borrowed money that was funneled into the economy.

00:32:44.060 But secondarily, that spending so far that is remaining is only coming from the high end because the middle and lower income segments of our society, we know, are in an incredibly perilous condition and have tapped out their credit card balances already.

00:32:59.140 They do not have more credit to spend.

00:33:00.980 So I believe that is an unsustainable and unrepeatable phenomenon.

00:33:04.720 Without that, this would have been a negative report, and negative reports certainly beckon, unfortunately.

00:33:10.700 That's just, I think, the reality.

00:33:11.820 If you take a cold look at the metrics, not just my ideological point of view because I'm such an opponent of Biden and what he's doing, I think if you just look at the numbers, you come to that conclusion.

00:33:20.360 No, and the credit contraction is going to hit with like a double whammy.

00:33:24.540 Okay, real quickly, this whole issue of DeSantis, now Nikki's taking the position, President Trump, there's a very tough article in LifeSite News about is President Trump actually running to the left of MAGA?

00:33:38.000 We're going to get into all that.

00:33:38.840 We don't have time today, and I want to have a more thorough and thoughtful discussion of that, about Disney and all the situation, taking on the woke corporations.

00:33:47.340 I do want to, Steve, before you bounce and give your sub stack, your assessment, Dr. Jeffrey Tucker at Brownstone Institute has done a great job of deconstructing Tony Fauci's interview with the New York Times.

00:34:02.620 Natalie, do you want to join us here?

00:34:03.680 What's your overall thought on this, Cortez, before you lose you?

00:34:07.580 Yes, well, and by the way, Brownstone's doing amazing work.

00:34:09.940 I encourage folks to follow them and read them.

00:34:12.040 I think that's really one of the emerging platforms and publications and thought platforms for our movement.

00:34:18.200 Dr. Fauci, let's face it, okay, is engaging, and I'm not surprised because he's a thoroughly dishonest man, but he's engaging in some significant revisionism right now, trying to clean up his record.

00:34:28.680 Because he knows that the more we learn about the consequences of the lockdowns, how little they did to prevent the virus, and how much damage they did and are still doing to our society, we see this blatant revisionism from people like Fauci, who had the gall to say that he was not part of shutting down schools.

00:34:45.080 And the New York Times, rather than pushing back, rather than showing him the evidence of his own pronouncements, instead just parrots it and becomes a PR platform for Fauci.

00:34:55.500 We see a very similar phenomenon from Randy Weigarten, the head of the teachers' union, who similarly says, wait, what, shut down schools?

00:35:01.820 I didn't have any part in shutting down the schools. 0.91

00:35:04.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:35:05.180 It's a lie. 0.99

00:35:06.260 And we have to know our history lest we repeat it.

00:35:09.780 We have to know correctly and accurately what happened, who is responsible, and they need to own those consequences.

00:35:18.020 We cannot allow the corporate media to in any way sugarcoat and try to memory hole what happened and who did it to us.

00:35:26.020 Cortez, how do people get to your Substack?

00:35:28.640 Yeah, please follow me.

00:35:29.620 I'm at CortezSteve on the Twitter and stevecortez.substack.com.

00:35:33.980 Thank you, sir.

00:35:34.620 Appreciate it.

00:35:36.780 Thank you.

00:35:37.140 Real quickly, what's your Substack?

00:35:39.200 Yeah, peternavarro.substack.com, trying to be the Mike Tyson of Substacks, playing to the long game.

00:35:47.880 This is what we're trying to immerse you in information.

00:35:50.360 Also, make sure you go to birchgold.com slash warroom to get the End of the Dollar Empire three-part series, all free.

00:35:57.540 We're going to have more installments coming out.

00:35:59.580 The latest one will put you into the mindset of what the debt trap is and what this debt ceiling fight's all about.

00:36:05.160 Also, you can talk to them, Philip Patrick and the team, about your 401k, IRA, all of it, and particularly about why central banks are buying all this gold.

00:36:14.300 Okay, I'm going to get into this with you, but the great article in foreign policy yesterday, their lead story finally catching up to the fact.

00:36:20.300 The BRICs are on to something. 1.00

00:36:22.460 They have the natural resources.

00:36:23.820 We have the Federal Reserve note.

00:36:26.640 One of the things we've got to get to the bottom, too, and you were a combatant with Fauci, but I want to bring Natalie Winters in.

00:36:30.780 She's been kind of the lead investigative reporter on Fauci from the beginning.

00:36:33.800 That's what's so powerful about Natalie.

00:36:35.820 Natalie, our great and beloved New York Times, the paper of record of our republic, actually did a massive interview with Fauci.

00:36:45.280 Walk us through the bid and the ask on the truth versus reality, ma'am.

00:36:51.680 Sure.

00:36:52.260 Well, I think the headline is wonderful, right?

00:36:54.320 It says, Dr. Fauci looks back.

00:36:56.440 Something clearly went wrong.

00:36:58.240 And while at face value, it might seem like the piece is going to be critical of the former director of the National Institutes of Health Agency, NIAID, it really is quite, quite, quite different.

00:37:09.680 But before we get into the actual contents of the article, it's pretty funny.

00:37:13.120 They have this huge black and white, very dramatic glamour shot of Anthony Fauci on the cover of the magazine for the story.

00:37:20.940 And I think it really speaks kind of the psychology behind that, how this article was actually supposed to be a PR puff piece for Fauci.

00:37:29.420 Obviously, this comes on the heel of PBS's documentary on him and, of course, the never-ending media farewell tour that he did.

00:37:37.360 But what's really interesting about this article in particular is that Anthony Fauci always loves to say, right, that he's so good at media.

00:37:44.700 And he's testified in front of Congress for so long and so many times.

00:37:49.020 But 99% of the time when he was talking, right, it was about stuff that most Americans didn't necessarily understand, right?

00:37:57.380 He was talking at a very high level about viruses and diseases and vaccines and stuff that they use big words and complex terminology.

00:38:04.660 So most Americans, myself included, can't always understand at first grasp.

00:38:09.120 But what's so interesting and where I think Anthony Fauci is really exposing himself here, which really I think then begs the question is, has anything he ever said actually been true or accurate, is that Americans know the realities, the very dark realities of the COVID-19 pandemic and how Anthony Fauci really was to blame for a lot of these horrible policies, whether it was the lockdowns, the mask mandates, pushing vaccines.

00:38:31.080 But what's really interesting, and I won't read all the quotes, although I will say it would be worth-

00:38:35.420 Not to mention that he caused the virus to be spawned in the lab to begin with.

00:38:40.440 Well, let's not bury that like this.

00:38:42.520 No, but that brings me to my point.

00:38:44.940 I want to read one quote because he says, but if all gain-of-function research stops, you will have no vaccines for flu.

00:38:51.840 You will have no vaccines for any other diseases because all of that manipulates a virus or a pathogen to gain a certain function to be able to make a vaccine.

00:38:59.900 So even though he thinks he's making a case for gain-of-function research there, he's actually, I think, in other words, incriminating himself in terms of funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology and gain-of-function research and the broader problem that we always raise on the show, which is the same people who are engaged in pandemic prevention, were doing so to create the vaccines that they made billions, if not trillions of dollars off of.

00:39:21.920 Natalie, hang on one second.

00:39:25.520 I want to go back to the most amazing part of your book, the first book, which is quite amazing, is the confrontation you have with Fauci.

00:39:34.060 On the very first moment, the very first moment this thing's happened, I think it's the 25th of January.

00:39:39.160 We've actually started, we're in pandemic.

00:39:41.080 We've been talking, you know, we've got Hadfield in studio as one of our co-hosts at the time.

00:39:45.520 You guys, over the National Security Council, the first time you meet, did Tony Fauci, in the time you knew him in that first six months, did he ever mention to you, when you're in all these meetings, etc., did he ever mention to you at all that he had had some sort of partnership in Wuhan and actually knew that they were doing gain-of-function?

00:40:07.440 Did that ever come up?

00:40:08.860 No, Steve, in the Taking Back Trump's America book, I walked through Fauci's biggest crime, which was the lie of omission.

00:40:17.840 I go into the sit room, it's January 27th, 2020, and I'm seeing this pandemic coming at us because people like Bannon and Miles Guo in the war room had raised alarms and I'm watching the data.

00:40:33.580 And Fauci, I had this great debate with Fauci about whether or not to support Trump's travel ban, which would save, like, millions of lives.

00:40:45.840 And Fauci was dead set against it. 0.87

00:40:48.160 I'd never met Fauci in my life before, didn't know he walked on water, and I came out of there thinking he was an arrogant prick, let me just say that on the air, who thought more of himself than he should have.

00:41:00.880 Now, here's the point, Steve, the big lie of omission there, when he was sitting there in front of me, he knew that he had funded gain-of-function research in the Wuhan lab.

00:41:14.080 He knew that that virus, in all likelihood, came from that Wuhan lab, and he was already contacting, because there was an email flow, contacting his academic people to spin a web that this came from nature. 0.68

00:41:35.380 He knew all of that, Steve, and now why that matters is that he had to just come clean right then and said, that thing came from the lab, and we were able to put pressure on the communist Chinese to give us the genome sequence. 0.86

00:41:52.040 We would have got a vaccine, possibly, that actually worked.

00:41:56.700 Instead, it kills people now.

00:41:58.620 And that's on Fauci.

00:42:00.140 And for these people at the New York Times who have no conscience to throw softball interviews at these people and let him spin his way out of this, it's just wrong.

00:42:11.000 Natalie Winters, you have done more than probably any person, with Raheem Ghassamo National Pulse in our war room,

00:42:16.540 to focus on Fauci at the time of what was said and what was reality and what we know reality.

00:42:23.060 To Peter's point, when I read this interview, it's not just what a monster, at what scale he's a monster at.

00:42:31.080 It is that the paper of record of this country is literally going to be the pulling guard for this guy.

00:42:34.980 They're going to be the Praetorian guard around Fauci.

00:42:37.380 The two sides are now defined.

00:42:39.960 Give me a minute on that.

00:42:41.080 We're going to hold you through the break. 0.99

00:42:42.060 He is such a pathological liar at so many levels. 0.99

00:42:48.020 And he ain't backing off a bit. 0.99

00:42:49.400 And the mainstream media knows they're so far in, they're going to protect him.

00:42:52.780 Natalie Winters. 0.68

00:42:54.420 He's so evil.

00:42:55.900 And although I like to talk, I'll let Anthony Fauci speak because there's a wonderful quote that I think really speaks to his mindset throughout this whole pandemic.

00:43:03.440 He said, in speaking about vaccines, you had people who were on the fence about getting vaccinated thinking, why are they forcing me to do this?

00:43:12.060 And that sometimes beautiful, independent streak in our country becomes counterproductive.

00:43:18.180 In other words, Anthony Fauci has never, ever, ever supported freedom.

00:43:22.140 And I think this global health movement, the Bill Gates's of the world, it's antithetical to American values of freedom and liberty.

00:43:28.520 Natalie, hang on for a second.

00:43:32.360 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:43:33.600 Natalie Winters, our co-host, and did a great job last night hosting the show. 0.89

00:43:40.140 Also one of the top investigative reporters around.

00:43:43.240 This thing with Fauci, I'm telling you, is sick and evil.

00:43:47.520 Let's not bury the lead there.

00:43:49.040 As a representative, it means I'll hold that guy accountable.

00:43:52.440 Back in a moment.

00:43:53.040 Get him on the stand.

00:43:54.520 Now.

00:43:54.920 COVIDtaxrelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.

00:44:05.920 COVIDtaxrelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.

00:44:12.560 And COVIDtaxrelief.org just got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.

00:44:21.620 If you run a business, church, or nonprofit and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the government's CARES Act.

00:44:38.380 But beware of clickbait or pay upfront companies who make you do the work and take a huge percentage of your refund.

00:44:45.280 COVIDtaxrelief.org receives a low reasonable commission only after you receive your refund.

00:44:53.240 And with 300 CPAs and tax experts, no one is better at getting you the maximum benefit than COVIDtaxrelief.org.

00:45:02.380 Visit COVIDtaxrelief.org now because this plan expires soon.

00:45:07.980 That's COVIDtaxrelief.org, COVIDtaxrelief.org.

00:45:14.420 The refund examples are not a guarantee and not all businesses qualify.

00:45:18.980 That's why you have to check today with COVIDtaxrelief.org.

00:45:23.880 The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.

00:45:33.140 Join the marketplace of ideas.

00:45:35.260 The platform for independent thought has arrived.

00:45:38.000 Superior technology.

00:45:39.340 No more selling your personal data.

00:45:41.580 No more censorship.

00:45:43.220 No more cancel culture.

00:45:45.120 Enough.

00:45:46.260 Getter has arrived.

00:45:48.040 It's time to say what you want, the way you want.

00:45:51.480 Download now.

00:45:53.880 Okay, we're putting up stuff on Getter.

00:45:56.060 We're doing live streams all the time.

00:45:59.780 We did Rudy the other night with Carrie Lake and myself.

00:46:01.740 We'll be doing a lot more.

00:46:02.480 I think we did Royce White last night.

00:46:04.660 We're turning that into a real channel, a real alternative that you can go and get some of your favorite people here in the war room.

00:46:10.520 I want to get back to Natalie.

00:46:11.520 I think we have to have, and I want people to read the Brownstone and then the cut through.

00:46:16.080 I need this audience to read the New York Times interview.

00:46:19.140 You must do that.

00:46:19.900 So make that another homework assignment and start with Brownstone.

00:46:23.380 And Jeffrey Tucker, he is a monster at a scale I think is tough for this country to actually handle.

00:46:30.680 And the fact that he was so powerful for so many years in one of the major institutions in our government is shocking.

00:46:36.200 I believe we're going to need a truth and reconciliation commission.

00:46:39.980 I think that the reason that, and I keep talking about Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., because of the book.

00:46:45.000 We sold 750,000 copies of the book here.

00:46:47.260 They sold a million and a half overall.

00:46:48.800 A book that's the size of four phone books on Fauci.

00:46:51.960 And people get there, and it's not particularly accessible.

00:46:54.700 People, like a novel, they're flipping pages.

00:46:56.960 I know so many people that have never taken a biology course in life that read this book.

00:47:01.800 We need, and you dealt with Fauci.

00:47:03.560 You know the type of monster we're dealing with.

00:47:05.500 You know the type of lies and misrepresentations that he told President Trump on a daily basis.

00:47:10.940 This guy has got to be brought to account.

00:47:13.320 Give me your 30 seconds.

00:47:14.340 I gave you back now.

00:47:14.700 I had the solution in my hand.

00:47:16.020 I wrote a presidential executive order that would have held China accountable to get to the origins of the virus. 0.91

00:47:21.900 Okay, where is that?

00:47:22.840 Do I have a signed copy of that?

00:47:24.100 I wrote that executive.

00:47:25.940 It's in the Taking Back Trump's America book.

00:47:27.520 I know this.

00:47:28.160 Right?

00:47:29.280 Why is it not signed?

00:47:30.460 And Mnuchin killed it because they were afraid if we were tough on China, somehow that would have cost us the election. 1.00

00:47:37.740 It was just stupid. 0.99

00:47:39.420 But my point is that in the course of that investigation with an independent commission, presidential commission, which, you know, the Kennedy assassination, Pearl Harbor, all sorts of stuff, we would have nailed Tony Fauci. 0.99

00:47:52.900 There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide because his agency funded the gain of research function that created that virus or at least gave him the technology to create the virus.

00:48:05.680 Natalie Winters is telling us now they've done all the things in Ukraine and they're in the Sudan.

00:48:10.380 We've got these warlords fighting.

00:48:11.760 We've got a bioweapons lab in the Sudan. 0.99

00:48:13.620 Natalie Winters, you're – and we're going to talk about what you're going to be doing in the future.

00:48:18.160 But this is – you're the tip of the spear here.

00:48:19.760 How do we hold Tony Fauci, this monster, accountable, ma'am?

00:48:24.020 Well, this article juxtaposed with the deposition that Anthony Fauci gave is very, very, very stark because if people remember, the only thing he could really say when he was being questioned under the penalty of perjury

00:48:35.560 was I don't remember.

00:48:37.220 Meanwhile, the New York Times, he can wax on for paragraph after paragraph talking about all the great decisions he made.

00:48:43.320 But I think this is a perfect example where the right can use the left's tactics of lawfare when we talk about how we want AGs to go after the Clintons, just like they're going after Trump.

00:48:53.900 Let's go after Fauci.

00:48:55.180 I mean, the left has basically used COVID-19 to put out all these white papers and blueprints and strategy sessions.

00:49:01.520 That's the – that's what really birthed this pandemic treaty in the first place.

00:49:05.960 That's why the WHO is pushing this.

00:49:08.640 So I think the right needs to do what the left has done, come to obviously a very different conclusion, but actually have some sort of special commission where we dig into not just Fauci, but his wife, his kids, and everyone because the conflicts of interest really do exist there.

00:49:22.300 It's not conspiracy theory.

00:49:23.620 It's not disinformation.

00:49:25.060 I wish it were.

00:49:25.860 Let me – you're seeing – look, and people – they're working on the main and one things up there.

00:49:31.760 But you've seen the weaponization of government committee and judiciary with what they did in New York and other places.

00:49:36.560 You've seen oversight with Comer and people trying to make an effort and know they're trying to hire staff.

00:49:42.040 But given that we're dealing with monsters – this is my point.

00:49:45.740 The Republicans come in, and they're decent people, and they play by the rules, and they have a certain mindset of how they were raised and how they think government works, et cetera.

00:49:53.240 It's not what these people think, and this is why I need people to read the Brownstone Institute.

00:49:59.700 We'll put up on the site some of Natalie Winters' analysis and just read the New York Times piece and then compare it.

00:50:05.200 Yes, we'll put the articles up by his deposition. 0.96

00:50:07.460 He's a monster. 0.90

00:50:09.080 You know, how do normal people deal with monsters? 0.71

00:50:13.180 How does Comer?

00:50:14.240 How does Oversight?

00:50:15.280 How does the subcommittee that MTG is on?

00:50:18.000 How does judiciary?

00:50:19.220 How do you deal with this?

00:50:21.340 See, they all walk free.

00:50:23.300 Brenner, right?

00:50:24.380 The Russia hoax. 0.62

00:50:25.340 Hunter Biden.

00:50:26.840 Just selling this country down the road.

00:50:30.220 Tony Fauci.

00:50:31.600 The bigger problem here is the corporate media controlled by the corporations that want to send our jobs offshore, open up our borders.

00:50:39.940 The problem we have is we don't have 500 Natalie Winters right now.

00:50:45.540 That's the problem.

00:50:46.060 We don't have fighters who won't back down and say, this is what we're going to do.

00:50:49.520 We're not playing Smash Mouth.

00:50:50.260 We're not playing Smash Mouth.

00:50:51.060 So, Natalie, I got two minutes here.

00:50:53.740 Give me your assessment.

00:50:55.100 How do we do this?

00:50:57.800 AI advancement.

00:50:58.980 You may be able to get 500 of me, but they might be used for evil and not good.

00:51:04.100 No, that's scary.

00:51:08.160 I think we have a lot of congressmen on this show, but I haven't seen the fire on the Hill.

00:51:17.300 We need Anthony Fauci sitting there and testifying because when he is under the penalty of perjury, what he says is a lot different than this BS that's printed in the New York Times.

00:51:27.300 And that's how you actually get indictments and actual legal ramifications.

00:51:31.760 And frankly, I know we have the COVID Commission and the China Commission and the weaponization. 0.83

00:51:36.120 And that's all great.

00:51:37.740 But I don't know why there's not a Fauci committee because we need to make an example out of him.

00:51:42.000 There's no amnesty for someone who really destroyed this country all the way from the vaccines to the mask mandates to the Wuhan Institute.

00:51:48.300 Where's Ron Johnson?

00:51:48.980 He's going to get quiet on this.

00:51:50.600 How do people get to you, social media and the site and all the work you're putting up, Natalie?

00:51:57.620 Of course, Natalie G. Winter is on all platforms.

00:52:00.260 And make sure you go to warroom.org and sign up for the newsletter.

00:52:05.340 We're putting exclusive content up now.

00:52:07.200 We've got Joe Allen putting exclusive content up.

00:52:09.920 Ben Harnwell.

00:52:11.040 Natalie's cracking the whip.

00:52:12.700 So it's exclusive content.

00:52:13.800 Make sure you sign up and get it every day.

00:52:15.320 Thank you, Natalie Winters.

00:52:16.460 I know you've got a lot you're working on.

00:52:18.300 Look forward to seeing you.

00:52:20.600 Some big changes we're putting, Natalie, at the tip of the spear.

00:52:25.880 So we've got some announcements next week.

00:52:29.560 Charlie Kirk's next.

00:52:31.340 Thank you for doing this.

00:52:32.600 Admiral, always a pleasure.

00:52:33.200 And thank you for letting me have it.

00:52:34.860 Thank you for letting me have it.

00:52:36.160 Thank you for letting me have the mic.

00:52:39.180 It's all good.

00:52:39.760 One more time, the Substack.

00:52:41.140 Oh, yeah.

00:52:41.580 Thank you, sir.

00:52:42.360 Peter Navarro, dot Substack, dot com.

00:52:44.780 Peter Navarro, dot Substack, dot com.
