00:00:28.720I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.600Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.340If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.740War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:47.940We hope to mobilize $340 billion for modernizing our logistics infrastructures with investments in motorways, railways, autoways, ports and airports.
00:01:06.680We will also give priority to the generation of solar and wind power, as well as biomass, ethanol and biodiesel.
00:01:15.680We have immense potential for generating green hydrogen.
00:01:19.680And we shall establish partnerships between government and the business community in all areas through concessions, public-private partnerships and direct contracts.
00:01:29.640In order for investment to grow again and drive development, we need to ensure more credibility, predictability and legal certainty, as well as political and social certainty for the private sector.
00:01:48.400For this reason, I have advocated the idea of great financial integration where we could have a new reference unit which would not replace our national currencies.
00:02:00.400The financing needs, the unmet financing needs, the unmet financing needs of developing countries remains high.
00:02:11.600The lack of a substantial reform from traditional financial institutions limit the volume and the credit modes offered by existing banks.
00:02:23.840The decision of establishing the new development bank represented a milestone in effective collaboration among emerging economies.
00:02:33.760Our joint bank must be a global leader in the financing of projects that address the most pressing challenges of our time.
00:02:45.560I would also like to point out that the share of the BRICS countries, with their population totally more of 3 billion people,
00:02:53.440now accounts to nearly 26% of the global GDP and our five countries are ahead of G7 in terms of purchasing power parity with 35.1% against 30% forecast for 2023.
00:03:13.120The objectives and irreversible process of dead dollarization of our economic ties is gaining pace.
00:03:23.540We are working to fine tune effective mechanism of mutual settlement and monetary and financial control.
00:03:31.120As a result, the share of U.S. dollar export and input operations within BRICS is declining.
00:03:43.780In fact, this summit is to discuss the detail, the entire range of issues related to the transition to national currencies in all areas of economic cooperation between our five nations.
00:04:00.240We need to promote development and prosperity for all.
00:04:03.240Many emerging markets and developing countries have come to what they are today after shaking off the yoke of colonialism.
00:04:11.580With perseverance, hard work, and huge sacrifices, we succeeded in gaining independence and have been exploring a development path suited to our national conditions.
00:04:24.060Everything we do is to deliver better lives to our people.
00:04:27.720But some country, obsessed with maintaining its hegemony, has gone out of its way to cripple the emerging markets and developing countries.
00:04:40.640Whoever is developing fast becomes its target of containment.
00:04:44.260Whoever is catching up becomes its target of obstruction.
00:04:48.760As I have said more than once, that blowing out others' lamps will not bring light to oneself.
00:04:57.100Every country has the right to development.
00:05:00.040And the people in every country have the freedom to pursue a happy life.
00:05:04.260With that in mind, I have proposed the Global Development Initiative with the goal of promoting development for all by the international community and boosting the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
00:05:15.720With the support of many countries, solid gains have been made in pursuing this initiative, with cooperation flourishing in various fields.
00:05:24.200China will work with all other countries to speed up cooperation under the Global Development Initiative, strengthen drivers of global development, promote the reform of the World Trade Organization in a comprehensive and in-depth manner, meet common challenges together, and make life better for people across the world.
00:05:40.920As an ancient Chinese philosopher observes, change is the nature of the universe.
00:05:46.500The collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries represented by BRICS is fundamentally changing the global landscape.
00:05:58.380Emerging markets and developing countries have contributed as high as 80% of global growth in the past 20 years.
00:06:07.600And their share in the global GDP has increased from 24% 40 years ago to more than 40%.
00:06:16.120Just as a line in the Chinese poem reads, no mountains can stop the surging flow of a mighty river.
00:06:22.760Whatever resistance there may be, BRICS, a positive and stable force for good, will continue to grow.
00:06:29.840It's 23 August in the year of World War, 2023, Wednesday.
00:06:37.140That is pure signal coming out of Durban, South Africa.
00:06:41.080You saw Lula, Putin, Xi, and of course Modi's been all over the media there.
00:06:47.300To just make a slight note, not to be too picky about Xi's speech, but that quite frankly was Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, one of the foundational elements of the Judeo-Christian West about a change.
00:07:03.760The one permanent thing you have is change.
00:07:05.360There's so much going on here, and for the first hour we're going to break this down on Signal, not the Keebler-Ls.
00:07:13.620So we're not going to chase Murdoch's shiny toys today because what's happening in Milwaukee on that stage night is totally and completely irrelevant.
00:07:21.440Number one, and I'll get to polling and I'll talk about, Somerford's got a great analysis about the policy that the Keebler-Ls are talking about, which are all Trump policies.
00:07:29.780Dave Weigl actually did an analysis and showed they're all Trump policies.
00:07:33.220Because there's nobody even up there that's going to be a VP.
00:07:37.420What's happening tonight is purely the Murdochs trying to grab the agenda, and if you're going to fall for that, then you fall for it.
00:07:43.820If you're going to fall back in your habits of just watching TV for stupid people, then fall into it.
00:08:50.540You know, the KGB and Xi's CCP are enemies of the United States, and Lula is the biggest enemy, the radical Marxists.
00:08:59.100But at the same time, you have Kevin McCarthy kind of wandering around.
00:09:02.360Yeah, I think we've got to get an impeachment inquiry maybe going in September.
00:09:05.400Maybe we'll think about it if things happen.
00:09:06.940John Solomon has come up and has documents, has the receipts, where Biden, while vice president of the United States, was selling us out to that crowd in Durban, South Africa,
00:09:20.640taking money with both hands from the Ukraine, from nefarious characters in the Ukraine, and from the CCP.
00:09:35.060And your story last night's a blockbuster like the day before.
00:09:37.760Get me up to date on what's going on here in the Biden investigation.
00:09:41.940Well, yesterday we talked on the show about the fact that Joe Biden, when he withheld the billion-dollar loan guarantee to fire Viktor Shokin,
00:09:49.060the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his son, he was not following U.S. policy, contrary to what he told people in 2019 during the impeachment
00:10:10.000He did the opposite, and then he lied about it to the American people.
00:10:13.160Today what we did is we put together a timeline to say, in the time where Joe Biden decided to flip that policy,
00:10:19.180to withhold the billion dollars rather than give it, and to get rid of the prosecutor who his own team was saying was doing a pretty good job,
00:10:25.720what was going on in Hunter Biden's life.
00:10:28.660Well, what we found out was that Hunter Biden was under enormous pressure at that very moment to deal with Viktor Shokin
00:10:34.640because Shokin was accelerating an investigation against Burisma.
00:10:37.980He was going after Hunter Biden's boss at Burisma, Nikolai Zolchewski.
00:14:18.360Now Solomon's receipts, and that's what I want people, if Grace and Moe can put out, make sure, and Carly Bonet, I want everybody in the posse to read this.
00:14:59.480As central banks and countries like China, India, Australia begin transitioning to a digital currency, the Federal Reserve has been contemplating the same for the United States of America.
00:15:10.180With a digital currency, the government could track every single purchase you make.
00:15:15.360Officials could even prohibit you from purchasing certain products or even easily freeze or seize part or all of your money.
00:15:23.980These are some of the reasons concerned Americans reach out to Birch Gold Group.
00:15:29.080They want to have a physical asset that's independent from the U.S. dollar.
00:15:34.180Gold held tax sheltered in a retirement account.
00:15:37.500Remember, gold held in your tax sheltered retirement account.
00:15:52.140And Birch Gold will send you a free information kit today.
00:15:56.740With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, countless five-star reviews, Birch Gold has been helping my listeners and viewers from the very beginning of the show.
00:16:08.920Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, 298-9898 and claim your free info kit on gold because of a central bank digital currency becomes reality.
00:16:19.760It will be nice to have some gold to depend on.
00:16:28.360Georgia, and I'm feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I'm defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney.
00:16:39.300I'm the same Rudy Giuliani that took down the mafia and made New York City the safest city in America, reduced crime more than any mayor in the history of any city, anywhere.
00:17:36.480One of the greatest Americans of the 20th century and 21st century.
00:17:40.780It shows you what these people are prepared to do.
00:17:45.320They're out to destroy Rudy Giuliani, one of the greatest living Americans, and Donald J. Trump.
00:17:51.180And what's becoming more and more evident, more and more evident, particularly we see the Murdoch's desperate attempts to change the conversation with the Keebler-Elves tonight, of which we're not falling for and you're not falling for.
00:18:58.460If you think it through, because like Lincoln and like Washington, they capture massive historical forces.
00:19:13.420This is why we're so focused on making sure that you're up to speed totally with what's happening geopolitically and financially throughout the world.
00:19:21.060It's more important for this audience, this populist nationalist audience of the United States, to fully understand what's going on in Durban.
00:19:28.640And to fully understand what is then going on in Brazil and in China and Ukraine and the Russian war, all of it.
00:20:26.120That's what Steve Ducey's bouncing up and down on the white sofa, pitching Murdoch's latest ridiculous idea.
00:20:32.260Dr. Peter Navarro, we've got a lot to go through, and we've got some fabulous guests here to break it down of what's happening in the capital markets and what's happening to drive the underlying historical forces that really tie – and I want to say this again.
00:20:46.080This is only the third time in the nation's history that one individual's fate and destiny is tied to the destiny of the country.
00:20:54.800General Washington and Abraham Lincoln, that happened in about 1858 when those two merged, when Lincoln's fate and the nation's destiny converged.
00:21:06.920Peter Navarro, you've come up – I'm going to have you here for the – President Trump's put out the Peter Navarro economic plan, and I want to get to that in a second.
00:21:14.980He – and I want to talk to you about Berkshire, but you wrote an amazing piece in The Washington Times.
00:21:20.020By the way, The Washington Times editorial section is amazing.
00:21:23.960You're – I think Rico – you're going to – you're not just watching the watchmen.
00:21:28.740You're going to prosecute the prosecutors.
00:21:31.000Just tell me how that's going to work.
00:21:33.300Yeah, I think this is one of the most important articles I've ever written.
00:21:37.760It basically fast-forwards to August 2025, grand jury in the District of Wyoming, and lays out the case why the indicters should be indicted.
00:21:51.140And it's Merrick Garland, it's Fannie Willis, it's Alvin Bragg, and it's Jack Smith.
00:21:56.560And what we find with these four people is that they're all doing the same thing, right?
00:22:07.600They are interfering with the election.
00:22:12.560And they're trying to interfere with the 2024 election with this three-pronged attack.
00:22:18.760It's either get Trump in jail, which is their best case scenario.
00:22:23.340Number two is to damage his reputation so he'll go from front-runner to also-ran.
00:22:30.840And if all else fails with that, what they're trying to do is to divert the resources away and the attention away from the task of campaigning,
00:22:43.140which, Steve, you above all people know is a 24-7 job, to having – fighting these legal battles.
00:22:49.240And what's interesting is what I do is I then lay out kind of the commonalities that suggest either tacit collusion or explicit collusion between these four individuals, Garland, Bragg, Willis, and Smith.
00:23:05.780And you start with – they all got novel legal theories, right?
00:23:20.520You've got these rolling indictments, Steve, which are designed to constantly harass the president and keep him away from the campaign trail, going to jail like he's got to do on Thursday.
00:23:30.540You've got these unfriendly jurisdictions, whether it's Washington, D.C. or Bragg's, New York.
00:23:39.400It's – the bet there is that there's a higher probability that the grand jury will indict and the jury will convict everything else.
00:23:51.360And one of the interesting things, Steve, is the bottom line base assumption of all of this is they assume a fair election, which you and I know, and all you got to do is – and I plug rigged and 2,000 mules in the piece.
00:25:03.180The point is – and I did this thing, PeterNovar.substack.com.
00:25:07.080I did the polls in it as I prepared for this article.
00:25:11.200And what I was stunned by was that over 90 percent of the almost 2,000 people who took the poll believe that the four prosecutions are coordinated across New York, Georgia, and Washington, D.C.
00:25:39.440I know you've got to bounce, but I've got to hold you through the break because I've got to talk to you about Trump's – this is fascinating, and we're getting out there.
00:25:45.500I want to push out there, but I want to talk to you about Trump's – Trump laid out his economic policy.
00:25:50.720And Semaphore has got it as their lead story.
00:30:24.640Well, first of all, the timing of the announcement is beautiful on the eve of this Keebler Elf thing.
00:30:31.000It's like, you know, it's going to put those Keebler Elfs on an interesting spot.
00:30:35.620Look, back in the day, I personally lobbied Capitol Hill for the president's Reciprocal Trade Act, and he said in his State of the Union address, he thought that that was one of the most important things to get past.
00:30:49.960All he's saying, Steve, first, is that if a country like India – we'll get to them shortly – has the highest tariffs in the world, we're either going to match their tariffs because that's not fair, or force them by matching their tariffs to bring them down to ours.
00:31:08.520So that was the part that the whole entire media missed.
00:31:13.320That's the most eminently sensible thing.
00:31:16.000And then the other thing the boss has rightly put forward is a tariff ring around this country.
00:31:22.200And the problem we have is that good old-fashioned World Trade Organization, which by the very rules, Steve, places us as the lowest tariff country in the world, having to compete against high-tariff countries and getting screwed every day of the year, not just by communist China, but by Germany, by Brazil, by India, and everywhere in between.
00:31:49.780I got a kick out of the fact that he brought Kudlow and Moore to Bredminster to kind of talk about it because those guys' heads will explode.
00:31:58.960And the boss spent a lot of time at the White House trying to convert the unconvertible like those two guys.
00:32:05.240But I thought it was like classic Trump for both economic and political reasons.
00:32:24.280Alexander Hamilton is the American system.
00:32:25.760I'm a tariff man running on a tariff platform.
00:32:28.400He loved to quote that from a previous president.
00:32:30.800By the way, and a guy named Abraham Lincoln, when I talk about the destiny, Abraham Lincoln was a high-tariff guy.
00:32:37.920He was one of the big fights with the South.
00:32:39.640Real quickly, President Trump was not just thinking about the Keebler-Ls because he kind of dismissed that.
00:32:45.640He was thinking about Durban, South Africa.
00:32:48.260He was going to put a little shot across guys' ballots and say, hey, look, I'm coming back, and I'm coming back bigger than ever.
00:32:54.220But we're going to sort this economic mess out so the purchasing power of the dollar will go back to 2019 when the countries of the world weren't getting screwed by the Federal Reserve.
00:33:14.780Well, the key thing that jumped out from that clip you played in the A Block was when the Chinese communist guy gets on and talks about the American dollar as an instrument of containment and hegemony.
00:33:30.960That's what he's trying to sell to the rest of the developing world out there, okay?
00:33:38.380It's just amazing these guys are so consistent that they can say all this crap with a straight face.
00:33:44.780If the BRICS, the BRICS is really not the BRICS, right?
00:33:49.060It's Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, but it really is a communist Chinese front organization for what they want to do.
00:33:56.680And if these people are so foolish enough to adopt a digital yuan, a Chinese yuan, which allows them to track everything all over the world and enslave them, well, they're pretty stupid to do that.
00:34:11.380I think from the United States point of view, we need to think really hard about our sanction strategy, which has pushed this whole effort to displace the U.S. dollar.
00:34:23.640There's much more effective ways to achieve the goals that we've lazily used simply for sanctions.
00:34:30.860And that's one of the debates, Steve, we should have in more depth at this point.
00:34:34.600The last thing I'll say is that when I was like 19, I went across India in one of those untouchable trains and toured a couple of steel mills that the Soviets had built for the Indians.
00:34:48.640And I knew back then that India was playing the Americans off the Soviets, and they have existed for all of their non-colonial existence, playing superpowers off against each other.
00:35:05.620Modi's the best nationalist in the world.
00:35:07.460Quite frankly, we've now got our elites, we're beholden to Modi.
00:35:14.260We should never be in a situation like this.
00:35:16.200Right now, if they come out with a group hug tomorrow, and she and Modi talk about – and by the way, it's not going to be a digital currency.
00:35:23.860What they're going to have is some sort of gold-backed, at least basket, I think, at first.
00:35:28.240But if Modi – because the UAE just did a deal in rupees for oil.
00:35:34.260If they come out with that at first, this is all about de-dollarization.
00:35:37.260It's all about making the dollar, starting to hit the dollar around the world, that you don't need to convert into dollars, de-dollarization, because they understand that's really the last economic power we have.
00:35:50.400The elites in this country, your bettors, your bettors.
00:35:52.540That's why Murdoch wants you watching the shiny toys tonight of this ridiculous junior high school cafeteria food fight that nobody has – has no bearing on anything that's important in the fate of this country and the fate of her people.
00:36:06.680And they want you to watch it maniacally.
00:36:08.680The future of the world is being determined there, and our elites, your bettors, right, the ones that think they run the deal better than you do, have got us in a situation now.
00:36:16.760We're beholden to Modi and Modi's administration to kind of not go in with Xi.
00:36:22.960My point that I was trying to make was a very simple one.
00:36:28.080Historically, India has always tried to play us against first the Soviet Union, now against the communist Chinese.
00:37:50.700He took that same train, and that was his awakening, his awakening to what the reality of the everyday life of the deplorables of India changed, not just the direction of his life, but changed the direction, quite frankly, of the world.
00:39:45.100And a lot of people are covering it with a lot of contempt, too.
00:39:48.400Even the guy, the analyst from Goldman Sachs, who invented the BRIC acronym, he came back to criticize whatever's happening now with the group.
00:40:02.000And I think that we have now some sort of division in which you have both China and Russia meaning to expand the group and take it from more of an economic group into an alternative to the G7 to sort of have a geopolitical standing up to the West, so to speak.
00:40:29.380So on the first day, we had, incredibly enough, Xi Jinping, he skipped the main business forum, but he got a medal from Modi.
00:40:43.740Prime Minister Modi gave him the order of, I'm sorry, President Ramaphosa from South Africa, gave him a medal.
00:40:53.220He got the best commendation in South Africa.
00:40:59.480It's the order of South Africa, the greatest order in the land.
00:41:04.580And you had Putin making his speech by video link because of the International Criminal Court has an arrest order for him.
00:41:17.900So he had to participate from Russia, and he was making a call for the BRICS to become an alternative to G7.
00:41:29.620You have perhaps the great woman was Modi.
00:46:31.800Paul made a very important point there.
00:46:34.440What he said is that, hey, they don't know if they're going to come out with a basket of currencies backed by gold.
00:46:38.680You heard Peter say, is it going to be digital?
00:46:40.220That is probably going to come announcement today or tomorrow, but he said what they've already announced, and this is quite important, is crossing trades with each other in their own currencies.
00:46:49.300Remember, let's go back to MBZ doing the trade for a million barrels of oil, our ally with Modi for rupees.
00:46:58.720Instead of converting into dollars and having to deal with our madness, at least it's got some stability.
00:47:05.580You take a rupee, hey, you don't know what's going to happen.
00:47:09.740You're taking a big-league currency risk.
00:47:12.520What they're telling you now, people are prepared to take that to get off the U.S. dollar.
00:47:17.420That's what this whole process of de-dollarization is, and it's also the SWIFT system, so we can't track their – you can't track every one of their transactions, a whole raft of things.
00:47:27.440And we're going to be following it closely because the de-dollarization effort is going to make the life in the United States quite different and not for the better.
00:47:37.320Brian Costello, you've been following this closely.
00:47:39.280You've been following the whole – you're the one that broke, and quite frankly, the reason we have Sequoia running for the hills is your coverage.
00:47:45.920But you also understand the interconnection for the scandal you've been focused on and the reason that our House of Representatives won't deal with it to the emerging new world order that's coming out of Durban, South Africa, sir.
00:47:57.840Yeah, so one of the things back in 2020 I saw, Steve, was in China they have something called the Two Sessions, the Langui, which happens every March.
00:48:10.220And it's where the Chinese People Political Consultative Conference and NPC, the National People Congress, get together and they pitch proposals to the Chinese government.
00:48:19.620And one of the proposals pitched was by Neil Shen.
00:48:21.800So Sequoia is one of the top investors in digital currencies.
00:48:26.640One of their big investments is a company called NewBank, which is also a Warren Buffett investment down in Brazil, which is a bank to trade sovereign digital currencies.
00:48:36.500And Shen actually pitched a basket coin, exactly what you're saying.
00:48:40.660So he pitched to the Chinese leadership, like, hey, people aren't going to buy into the Ewan, the Chinese dollar, so we need to be able to convert these other currencies into a basket coin to replace the dollar.
00:48:53.500So I think everybody, I think you're spot on of that.
00:48:56.500And he even went as far to say that IMF formulas.
00:49:03.400So I look to some of these IMF, World Bank, and folks like that to start to get involved in this as well, too.
00:49:07.980So I tell you, Brian, we're going to reboot you because you're freezing up a little bit on.
00:49:14.640So I want to get I want to clear and I particularly want to put up this this chart that you've got.
00:49:19.320So can we reboot Brian and maybe even get him up at the top of the top of the next hour for you?
00:49:26.400The next hour, we're going to have Natalie here.
00:49:28.280The mandates and protocols are not simply coming.
00:49:31.640They're being paid for already with your tax dollars as they get ready to roll out a whole new series of scare tactics around a new variant around covid.
00:49:41.460Natalie Winters caught him in the act.
00:49:44.360Also in the Tennessee Assembly, they this phony red flags laws is what they started with.
00:49:50.300Right. They came to you know, this Bill Lee came with all these this nonsense about red flag laws.
00:49:55.580But the patriots in Tennessee have kind of turned it on them.
00:49:59.160Now it looks like they're going to push forward some of the most toughest, some of the toughest legislation in the country, some of the toughest legislation in the country on on human trafficking.
00:50:10.540And really why they're doing that, because wait for it, the Soros prosecutors, the Soros local D.A.s will not prosecute human trafficking.
00:50:34.080This developing scandal with Sequoia is going to merge with the situation with impeachment.
00:50:40.860And the reason is, is that the pressure on McCarthy to do two things.
00:50:45.820Number one, to begin a formal impeachment inquiry on the Biden crime family at the same time to stop taking money from Sequoia and to go after the Mike Moritz's of the world and the Sequoia capitals that have been traded.
00:50:58.720Just like Biden, Biden's guilty of trading us out to our enemies for money.
