this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:10.160
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:16.760
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:20.520
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:24.100
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:31.920
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:39.860
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:47.080
is it time to work with democrats on this given that they have all this opposition from the right
00:00:57.680
flank on the cr how to deal with democrats to get this i've been uh this isn't the 30th we've got a
00:01:05.380
long ways to go we've got a lot of different ideas that i credit our members over the weekend working
00:01:10.980
together from the freedom caucus to the um main street they put up with an idea i'm for a lot of
00:01:18.320
different ideas whatever gets us to be able to get through and i'll continue to put more ideas on the
00:01:22.520
but with a razor-thin republican majority he can only afford to lose four republican votes assuming all
00:01:30.740
democrats vote against him and the same goes to maintain the speakership if there are more than four
00:01:35.360
republicans voting to oust him democrats vote to oust him kevin mccarthy is out of a job and in a
00:01:40.480
warning sign today one member victoria sparts a republican member of his conference wrote a
00:01:45.580
scathing statement about the speaker saying unfortunately real leadership takes courage
00:01:50.240
and willingness to fight for the country not for power and a picture on a wall it is a shame that
00:01:55.920
our weak speaker cannot even commit to having commissioned to discuss our looming fiscal
00:02:01.080
catastrophe mccarthy was just asked about those comments too he again downplayed it and contended
00:02:07.120
he'll be able to fight these issues fight these people who are trying to battle him and try to get
00:02:11.580
the bill to avoid a shutdown done by the end of the month is after that there's clearly an appetite
00:02:16.840
among some hardline conservatives to shut down the government if they do not get what they want
00:02:23.040
they're fine with that yeah do you know how long they will be fine with that for and what might plan
00:02:30.120
b c d or e b for kevin mccarthy is there a point where he goes to democrats and says help help bail
00:02:36.960
me out of this and do they say yes maybe it's not as explicit as that katie because certainly an ask
00:02:44.080
like that would trigger that long talked about motion to vacate that some on the hardline side
00:02:49.360
of this conference have long talked about and frankly some are eager to actually enact but i think
00:02:54.460
that this could go the way that we saw the debt ceiling deal go several months ago at the start
00:02:59.220
of the summer mccarthy has this opening deal that passes through his conservative conference
00:03:03.900
it then goes to the senate it's dealt with with the white house everyone comes together and comes to a
00:03:08.560
more palatable bipartisan deal that puts mccarthy in hot water with his own members but it also allows
00:03:14.640
them in this case to keep the government open in the same way that allowed them to avert a debt
00:03:18.800
ceiling crisis back in may and june that could be one way this goes that's almost a rosy view though
00:03:24.220
when you consider the fact that now many hardline conservatives feel that they were sold out during
00:03:29.180
that debt deal and that's why they're holding so strong right now they want to use every piece
00:03:34.040
of leverage that they can from holding the government into a shutdown to actually holding mccarthy's job
00:03:39.880
hostage if it means that they can get what they want and yes it's spending yes it's border focus but
00:03:44.980
it's also several other key provisions that they say mccarthy agreed to when they made him speaker in the
00:03:49.820
first place back in january but that now they feel he's reneged on so as much as this is
00:03:54.080
about spending it's about impeachment it's about the border it's about a whole bunch of other stuff
00:03:57.980
that's not directly related to spending either that's why it's so hard to solve
00:04:01.360
monday 18 september the year of our lord 2023 things are moving uh quite quickly and we've got
00:04:08.940
one of the top experts uh and one of the fighters in this uh congressman tim burchett is going to join
00:04:14.780
us here momentarily i want to read the names out uh congressman it's biggs bishop bobert buck
00:04:20.400
burchett crane gates mtg uh cory mills uh norman ogles uh rosendale sparts uh anna polina luna
00:04:30.380
paul gosar tony gonzalez from texas and added since this morning's bob good of virginia and captain
00:04:36.800
wesley hunt contacted the war room and said please add his name he is a hard no captain wesley hunt of
00:04:43.500
west point in the great state of texas uh congressman burchett uh you've been a uh sir
00:04:49.700
you've been a fighter about this and and instead of getting lost in the weeds of you know the going
00:04:54.920
back and forth the to and fro because you have been there from the beginning and saying hey this
00:05:01.460
country's in a financial mess the good folks in tennessee too are tired of it have you seen anything
00:05:07.200
in this process of of mccarthy or any of these guys that have gotten to the heart of the central
00:05:11.940
question that we have five trillion dollars it basically comes in in tax revenues and receipts
00:05:17.100
and tariffs and we have seven trillion dollars that we've agreed that biden can spend and that
00:05:22.660
two trillion dollars on an annual basis has to be financed by printing money at the federal reserve
00:05:28.020
is anything in this process shown you on appropriation anything that we get basically
00:05:33.420
get our arms around with the fundamental basic problem economic problem financial problem we have
00:05:38.260
in the country sir no absolutely not and thank you for having me on mr bannon matter of fact we are
00:05:44.140
just past 33 trillion dollars in debt and you're correct we'll take and basically it's pretty easy
00:05:50.900
you take in five trillion you can't spend seven trillion unless you're going to spend your great
00:05:56.000
grandchildren's money and that's exactly what we're doing and that's that's at the bottom of this
00:05:59.980
with me that is the most important thing in this whole thing we can get off on all these woke policies
00:06:05.040
and border security and all those things are crazy important crazy important but it's all for naught
00:06:11.500
if if we lose our country and we will lose our country through this financial mishandling and that's why
00:06:18.640
we have the republican majority i think and that's why we didn't get it by a greater amount because we
00:06:25.120
didn't we didn't capitalize on the fact that america realizes we can't keep spending money we can't keep
00:06:30.680
paying people not to work we can't keep paying people when they come over the border we can't keep
00:06:35.200
funding these wars in these countries that people can't even find on a dadgum map yet we still do it
00:06:41.820
and then you know and i saw the bean counters yesterday put out a notice or maybe over the
00:06:47.140
weekend that this thing was going to call if we shut down it's going to cost us three billion dollars
00:06:51.380
and man there was gnashing of teeth and and everybody's running home to hide behind their mama's skirt
00:06:56.460
well we gave 114 billion dollars to ukraine without even ask without with with no strings attached
00:07:03.100
so this thing is uh and i think the fight's far from over but but the american people are speaking
00:07:09.720
that's why you're seeing more and more people jump on this bandwagon because we cannot we can't keep
00:07:15.160
going down this path of spending money and saying we're going to cut one percent of some gimmickry kind
00:07:21.200
of stuff that we know won't go to the senate i tell send something tough over to the senate make them
00:07:25.900
vote it down that's how you negotiate that's how i you know i always go back to i raise the speed
00:07:30.360
limit in tennessee i asked for 85 but 70 was the magic number and that's what i took
00:07:35.520
that that's a great way to negotiate when you spent we just spent six weeks in recess i know you spend a
00:07:43.740
lot of time with your your constituents back in in tennessee too yes sir what when they talk to you
00:07:50.140
what do they say about this situation what would they i'd like to know what the people in tennessee too
00:07:55.040
when they talk to you what do they want to see accomplished in this process right now
00:07:59.900
i think they just want simple tennessee common sense you know in tennessee we have a balanced budget
00:08:07.400
we don't have an income tax we have incredible surpluses matter of fact one of my friends in
00:08:13.220
the state said i used to serve in the senate for many years and a saying around there is if you want
00:08:18.600
to create more revenue cut more taxes cut more government allows the people to flourish and
00:08:24.040
that's unfortunately that's lost on us in dc everybody's got their little pet project and
00:08:28.440
that's what gets us in trouble these 2 000 page bills that people pass they they read down you know
00:08:34.800
to the first couple of pages and they find their their their town and their special project and they
00:08:40.300
just vote for the whole thing i'm matter of fact i'm proposing um i'm proposing some legislation i doubt
00:08:46.300
it'll even get out a committee or get a hearing that just basically says you break it down to
00:08:50.700
individual things that you have to vote on and we vote on them on the house floor if they're worth it
00:08:54.700
let them let them get the the acquired required number of votes if it's not that government they
00:08:59.300
it loses and this this omnibus cr all this other garbage that's all gimmickry let's just pass a
00:09:06.900
budget you've got a budget committee jody errington chairs that that government let him let him get a
00:09:11.700
budget let's get it out there let's get it out there and show the american people and if the senate
00:09:16.100
won't vote for it let's force their hand let's play ball i'm sick of it if we ask for a one percent
00:09:22.200
cut and send it over there i mean what the heck is that
00:09:25.080
the uh 30th of september for your constituents is that like in dc you see cnn's running around fox
00:09:35.420
news msnbc they're in complete meltdown the government's going to shut down the government's
00:09:38.660
going to shut the government's going to shut down is getting to the core of the problem a higher
00:09:42.720
priority for your constituents are these false phony deadlines that are set up by by leadership
00:09:48.280
all the time it's balancing the budget mr bannon september 30th is just another date on the
00:09:55.100
calendar and they realize it and they talk about it and i i was in the airport this morning flying
00:10:00.740
out of tennessee and they were saying i expect we're going to a shutdown aren't we birchett and i said
00:10:05.700
probably and they said all right well that's what we you know that that is exactly what we're prepared
00:10:13.020
to do and um it's not anything we want to do we're not trying to cause harm and we know what
00:10:18.180
washington will do they'll they'll blockade all the veterans memorials and when our veterans come in on
00:10:23.480
their honor flights they'll stop them from seeing it and they'll cause uh they'll they'll make the
00:10:28.580
harshest cuts they can imagine to cause the most pain but the american people aren't buying it anymore
00:10:33.260
mr bannon they have had it with this whole thing they've had it with this notion that that uh we're
00:10:39.420
not that that we're just going to keep spending money and printing money we can't do it we can't
00:10:44.060
afford it and you want to drive us towards marxism which i'm not so certain this i'm sort of thinking
00:10:50.080
in the back of my mind this is the ultimate plan collapses this country collapses economy and then
00:10:56.560
uh then you'll see what happens so two big structural elements you got the appropriations
00:11:04.520
bills and i just heard that they're canceling another vote the fly-in vote got canceled tonight
00:11:08.540
on health care you've got the appropriations bills that haven't come through regular order and then
00:11:13.000
you've got the balanced budget to actually show us how over five years or six years or ten years
00:11:17.700
you start to cut this thing down so we don't have a 50 trillion dollar debt before we know it
00:11:22.840
and those are both hard are you recommending we just go back and take as much time as we need to
00:11:28.540
really go through the appropriations bill get out the wool can weaponize however long it takes it takes
00:11:32.480
and also tackle a balanced budget and if we go through 30 september we go through 30 september but
00:11:38.020
you hunker down here and you guys stick around every weekend till it gets done is that the core of your
00:11:43.320
recommendation uh 100 as a matter of fact we we knew this date was coming up and yet we we were off the
00:11:49.900
whole month of august and the reason we're off the whole month of august they do it right before
00:11:53.580
primaries and they so they can't do it in an election year because it looks like we're just
00:11:57.940
doing it for elections so they do it every year but everybody knows that game we should have been here
00:12:02.460
the whole time they know what's going on it doesn't matter these folks will run it right to the right to
00:12:08.160
the deadline and push everybody into a tight spot and you know i don't care i'll stay i'll be here
00:12:13.280
christmas day for all i care um i can celebrate the birth of jesus in washington as easy as i can
00:12:19.800
in knoxville but i'll tell you this country is is we're on the brink we are on the brink and don't
00:12:26.240
kid yourself this is just i mean covid showed us a lot of things but it showed us just how gullible
00:12:31.820
and stupid we are that we trust this government and this is exactly what's happening right now but
00:12:37.420
i'll tell you the people in in tennessee don't trust what's going on and they see the scam that we're
00:12:42.300
we're we're you know it's both parties look when the democrats get in they push they spend all the
00:12:47.960
money on this woke stuff or whatever when we do it it's these bogus missile defense systems and
00:12:53.940
aircraft carriers i saw something we're buying more aircraft carriers why in the world do we need
00:12:58.420
aircraft carriers it's not my daddy's war war the japanese aren't going to bomb pearl harbor on
00:13:04.080
december 7th of 41 seven months later we're not going to roll out across the pacific and they're
00:13:08.640
going to be island hopping the next wars aren't going to be fought like that yet that's how we're
00:13:11.920
spending this money it's this is all about protection it's all about keeping people in
00:13:16.760
power it's not about doing what's right for this country and shame on the republican party if we
00:13:22.400
play ball with them on this thing we ought to we ought to pass a clean a clean budget and send it over
00:13:29.620
to the senate and let them vote it down hakeem jeffries just came out and said uh that this is
00:13:37.300
even the cr is a right wing thing and that the only way mccarthy's going to get anything done
00:13:42.300
is a clean cr do you see any support whatever in the in the men and women you know in the republican
00:13:49.280
conference that would vote for a clean cr right now i think there are some yeah sure i think you've
00:13:56.580
got 15 that are going to hold the line though on this this crazy spending it's all just gimmickry
00:14:01.460
crs or omnibus or whatever let's pass a budget we haven't passed a budget in in over 20 years
00:14:07.460
in congress and that's that's criminal right there we are we are we are not doing our sworn duty
00:14:14.260
right there and i i just think we've we just miss it we're totally misinterpreting the american
00:14:21.300
public right now because they know what's going on and they're fed up
00:14:24.420
uh we're going to take a short commercial break we're going to come back and the question i'm
00:14:30.060
going to put to congressman birchett on this side and having answered on the other he just said he
00:14:35.520
thinks the country's on the brink and his constituents think the country's on the brink what does he mean
00:14:42.300
by that short commercial break back with from tennessee to congressman tim birchett in a moment
00:14:49.340
the former kgb colonel vladimir putin who by the way is no friend of the united states
00:15:04.700
called the u.s dollars drop in dominance objective and irreversible during the recent bricks conference
00:15:11.580
in south africa as brazil russia india china and south africa formally agreed to use local
00:15:19.000
currencies instead of the u.s dollar it's the first shoe to fall we call this the de-dollarization
00:15:28.800
movement now as demand for the dollar weakens the buying power of the dollar weakens that is why

marjorie taylor green cory mills ralph norman andy ogles matt rosendale victoria sparts
00:16:56.780
at it now for this afternoon bob good of virginia and captain wesley hunt of the great state of texas
00:17:05.000
um those are the ones and i keep hearing my phone's been blown up that others are going to join this
00:17:10.860
because they they look into it and quite frankly as their constituents give them the old what for
00:17:16.600
they're sitting there going yeah maybe this is not such a good idea that number is 202-225-3121
00:17:22.580
make sure your congressman hears what you have to say about this this afternoon because this is
00:17:28.800
supposed to be voted on thursday although i think this will get pulled congressman you just said
00:17:32.480
something pretty controversial both you and your constituents in tennessee too believe the country's
00:17:38.500
on the brink what do you mean by that sir i think we're on the brink of a total capitulation of
00:17:46.960
democracy i think you're seeing i mean you see 15 of the population goes and votes you've got our
00:17:54.640
public colleges and institutions basically mass producing folks with marxist tendencies you have
00:18:01.640
professors of course that have always had and um and now you know it's bearing the fruit we are we're
00:18:09.200
seeing it over and over again and the push for more taxes more government and moving further and further
00:18:16.980
away from what this country was founded on and i i think the um this capitulation that you're going
00:18:23.820
to you're seeing in washington of of folks of that you would think would be conservative come from
00:18:28.680
conservative districts um the spending is out of control and that is that will spiral us out of control
00:18:35.060
and you'll see the inflation i mean the inflation we've seen if a republican had been in office you
00:18:42.380
know they would be marching on the streets uh but because of the national media and hollywood and the
00:18:48.820
rest uh embracing this this far left agenda you're you don't see it but it's they're they're taking it
00:18:55.660
from us and it's not just little bits and pieces now it's leaps and bounds and this spending is what
00:19:01.120
we'll do it this spending is what we'll do you figure in eight years the largest single item on
00:19:05.860
our on our budget will be just simple interest on this loan that we're we're making to whoever the
00:19:11.820
chinese or whatever and we're you know we're watching all this other stuff going on in the world
00:19:17.160
and the country and yet the spending is just out of control and it is about to bust
00:19:22.560
and i think it's by design by some folks well no that's what i want to get into this is exactly
00:19:30.720
the point this could no no no no no this couldn't happen you with norman and a couple of others had
00:19:37.920
been most consistent about this you know matt and other about impeachment there have been other issues
00:19:42.800
getting the woken weaponized out the border security you know there's a lot of issues but you've sat
00:19:47.660
there from day one and said if we don't get this spending out of control and you've called them liars
00:19:52.300
about the numbers they're putting forward what is it about leadership because these are not dumb
00:19:56.780
people um what is it about leadership that they have not listened to you to date when everything
00:20:02.640
you said has come to pass and you can see overtaking this recess there's something up there they don't
00:20:08.320
want to get into these appropriations bills they don't want to have regular order and and and
00:20:12.560
present because they don't want to do the cuts so what is it about leadership that just wants to
00:20:18.060
avert this because this crisis is going to be a crisis of mathematics called a uh the law of large
00:20:24.620
numbers as you just said this interest is going to kill us and going to kill us pretty quickly
00:20:28.880
what don't they get about this uh i think they just want to be in power and they just want to be
00:20:35.880
leaders it's a ego thing it's it's whatever we can do to keep them in power there's a movie
00:20:41.620
um it was a world war ii movie and this this nazi um uh tank commander he and this other guy were
00:20:49.000
there and they were and and the guy's son had gotten killed and they were trying to get to the
00:20:52.840
fuel and he said we get to the fuel he said well and the uh his underling said well we win the war
00:20:58.240
and he says no but we'll we will continue to fight and knowing that they'd lose eventually but it
00:21:03.480
didn't matter it got them through the fight and that's what this leadership it just seems in
00:21:07.980
washington leadership is all about you know everybody said let's get the majority so we can
00:21:12.160
do all these things well let's get the majority and cut our spending let's keep our word but no
00:21:16.920
let's let's let's uh increase our power and increase the country's debt in the meantime while nobody's
00:21:23.560
paying attention it's just what's the difference between us and them man oh you know they're going
00:21:28.160
to spend it on a bunch of woke garbage we're going to spend it on worthless missile defense systems
00:21:32.360
that we don't need it you know it's still debt and it just um it's it's it's just an ego thing with
00:21:40.180
them and um and i think we need to start we're going to have to start looking looking within here
00:21:46.180
we're going to make some tough decisions here in the next couple of weeks because if we don't we
00:21:50.800
will wreck this economy worse than it's ever been and it will be into the abyss and i'm afraid we won't
00:21:56.240
be able to pull ourselves out of it you believe that this uh what the mainstream media is calling
00:22:02.540
the civil war inside the republican party this this will be the crisis moment about this spending do
00:22:07.680
you believe that that it will uh that the reckoning will include a change in leadership in the house
00:22:12.820
i don't know i think it's going to light the fuse it's going to always be there you know matt has said
00:22:18.920
that he he'd bring it forth here pretty soon i don't know when that would be i was asked today if i
00:22:23.480
thought it was this week and i don't know it doesn't really matter i'm matt's a matt's a tactician
00:22:28.560
he gets the game and um and when he he figures out he he'll have the most uh you know and he believes
00:22:35.540
it he he believes we need to do it and it's it's pulling a lot more people in that that don't need
00:22:40.800
to be that wouldn't have been but this budget thing is just it's just beyond belief i do not
00:22:45.940
understand i just don't understand i don't understand why they're doing i do understand they want to stay
00:22:51.740
in power and i get that everybody wants to stay in power and um but at this point um you're going
00:22:58.300
to wreck the country and we need to do what's right we need to do what we said we were going to do
00:23:02.300
that gave us this very razor thin margin but in fact we are not going to do that we're going to go
00:23:08.320
the opposite direction and they're going to try to squeeze the us 15 or 16 that are against this
00:23:13.040
thing and and hurt us as much as possible instead of talking to us
00:23:16.860
when you you see the tough decisions that have to be made when you talk about appropriations budgets
00:23:24.920
you know the two trillion dollar gap we have zelinski's in town on thursday do you think that's
00:23:30.080
appropriate for him to come to town in the middle of this historic fight over balancing our own budget
00:23:36.340
to ask for more money sir no i wouldn't give him i wouldn't give him a penny uh you know that but
00:23:44.680
the point is he's going to hit us when we're i think again we're diverted and they're going to in
00:23:50.300
the left and and some of the moderates in our own party are going to use this we've got to we've got
00:23:55.060
to keep funding them we've got to we've got to turn the tide in this war and um and if you talk to
00:24:01.400
some of the people are over there the uh the checks and balance over there is way out of hand the money
00:24:06.080
is going all over the place you got the world bank is crooked you've got um it's going to other
00:24:11.800
continents even apparently i've talked to people i had coffee with a fellow who was in the supply chain
00:24:17.660
of that and was just telling me just how ridiculous it was of the amount of of armaments and money that
00:24:24.660
was going over you know we're paying for people's pensions for goodness sakes over there and this
00:24:30.200
guy's coming over here with his handout for more money um i i don't i just don't buy it i don't buy
00:24:35.780
it i think we need to say thanks but no thanks send him back home we've given plenty folks in
00:24:43.900
tennessee too what what what is their opinion on this topic of more money to ukraine sir
00:24:48.700
absolutely not i go if i mention that in the crowd and i say i'm not i'm not going to vote for any
00:24:55.940
any more money for them at all we've given already 114 billion unchecked dollars usually i get a
00:25:02.100
standing ovation it is it is through the roof people are that committed to this they understand
00:25:10.720
that no more money we got to take care of problems here uh before i leave you i only got a couple of
00:25:14.780
minutes i know you got to bounce but uh nasa came out and one of the reasons burchett follows this so
00:25:22.240
closely this thing about the ufo and the aliens is about is the government honest with the people
00:25:28.020
this is the back of the kennedy assassination this is the back this we are not getting diverted
00:25:32.160
chasing shiny toys this is about what the government knows and what they're prepared to tell the people
00:25:38.040
nasa just came out and said all your investigations everything you've been doing and some other people
00:25:42.660
have come forward it's all it's all nonsense they've proven that these are just uh different aerial
00:25:49.320
phenomenon have nothing to do with uh ufos uh your response to nasa sir well in the first paragraph
00:25:56.800
they allude though that they would like to study it more which means you and i sending more money to
00:26:02.560
them and again um you know since 1947 they've said this thing doesn't exist there's 56 pages of misery
00:26:08.980
and that's your tax dollars hard at work um you know it's like schumer's plan about everybody was
00:26:15.880
cheering his idea about getting all this information forming this department that would
00:26:20.100
that would okay whether any information got out or not well if it was a national defense issue well
00:26:26.240
guess what it's all a national defense issue we'll put another billion dollars to the war pimps at the
00:26:31.120
pentagon and guess what they will give out nothing this thing is a cover-up it's a it's a it's a toy in
00:26:37.640
the in the in the pentagon to to pull more and more in your dollars away it's a the pentagon has been
00:26:43.480
audited in the history of audits have never passed an audit at one time um buck told me represent buck
00:26:50.220
told me that they had 60 percent of their assets unaccounted for they lose billions of dollars every
00:26:55.720
year i mean give it a break they just keep wanting more and and the federal government just wants more
00:27:01.680
and more of your money it's all about the money it's about power it's about control it's about look
00:27:07.020
over here don't look over here what we're really doing and they just want more money from us mr bannon
00:27:11.700
and they and then they said we want to do collaborative you know that's the new word within the hipsters
00:27:16.240
let's collaborate you know let's collaborate i hear that in these leadership groups all the time
00:27:20.840
and you know they do some think tank and they come up with a new adjective every four or five years
00:27:25.920
um a few years back it was codependency you can't be codependent or whatever that is and now it's
00:27:32.020
collaborative they want to collaborate with other agencies so what they they want more money
00:27:36.220
that because these chuck wagons can't pick up a dadgum phone and call somebody else at the pentagon
00:27:42.720
that's what they want they want more money and we should say just give us the vials let me know i can
00:27:48.600
handle it amen congressman birchett how do people follow you on social media and where they go to
00:27:54.820
your website find out more about you and your fight yes sir at tim birchett is my twitter and that's
00:28:01.100
the one where i i take the gloves off i've got an official one but the cool one's that tim birchett
00:28:05.820
that always gets the bannon bump after i'm on here with you mr bannon so thank you brother
00:28:10.140
i look forward to you coming to tennessee i want to introduce you some good good hard-working patriots
00:28:15.520
we love tennessee too love the folks down there congressman thank you very much and thank you
00:28:21.640
for leading this fight for fiscal sanity in our country appreciate it thank you brother
00:28:27.000
back back in a moment we rejoice when there's no more let's take down the ccp
00:28:33.660
you get the feeling that the unthinkable is going to happen soon well i do but between the distractions
00:28:40.840
and smoke screens in the media we probably won't see it coming that's why it's smart to invest in
00:28:46.140
emergency food right away as they say it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not
00:28:54.180
have it my patriot supply is the nation's leader in high quality emergency food let me repeat that

00:29:46.260
that's mypatriotsupply.com it's time to prepare for what is coming so prepare with the best
00:29:53.700
mypatriotsupply.com take action action action you know the the the very the very positive scenario of
00:30:03.440
ai is um actually in a lot of ways uh the description of heaven um in that um really nobody nobody would need
00:30:12.260
to work i wouldn't even call it universal basic income i'd say it's probably universal high income
00:30:16.500
i'm describing the best case scenario here um so i'm not saying this is definitely what'll occur
00:30:21.720
there's a range of scenarios from very negative to very positive the very positive scenario is
00:30:26.460
basically sounds like heaven you can have whatever you want um you don't need to work you have no
00:30:32.100
obligations uh any illness you have can be cured um you know and uh when do we die well that's a good
00:30:40.020
question uh i think it'll be a choice yeah i think it probably ends up being somewhat of a choice
00:30:46.840
also that everyone gets a great education right you know everyone has that story of that one teacher
00:30:51.840
that they had who paid attention to them and inspired them on a specific subject imagine if
00:30:55.760
you had that teacher for anything you wanted constantly and just how much better of people
00:30:59.640
would we be how much better would we relate to others like that is just one example of the kinds
00:31:04.660
of upsides that are possible and i think the question of well what does it mean to be a human
00:31:09.080
you know if you back to how do you predict what's going to come next um actually the the thinker who
00:31:14.320
i think had the best foresight about how the ai revolution was going to play out is actually ray
00:31:19.760
kurtzweil um you know he i agree yeah and his his book singularity is near gets like a lot um i think
00:31:26.340
that people uh you know kind of assume it's going to be this almost like just sort of religious text
00:31:30.760
but instead it's a very dry analytical text and he just looks at the compute curves and he says this
00:31:35.300
is the fundamental unlocker of intelligence everyone thought that was crazy and now it's
00:31:39.220
it's basically true it's basically common wisdom and part of what he says is look what's going to
00:31:43.160
happen is in 2030s first of all he says agi 2029 yeah i keep telling people it seems to be almost
00:31:48.740
exactly right it's it's spooky it's spooky um 2030s is when the merge happens uh so we've got neural link
00:31:54.700
coming uh and uh you know uh maybe maybe maybe other systems like that and what does it mean once
00:32:00.380
you actually are kind of merging with with an intelligence okay i want to thank a home title
00:32:06.420
lock.com for sponsoring this segment go to home title lock.com make sure that as we talk about cyber
00:32:13.340
here that cyber criminals cannot get and get their hands on your title uh to take out a second loan a
00:32:19.260
second mortgage on your property 90 percent of your network net worth is tied up in your home
00:32:24.080
protect it joe allen the book dark aeon it's a must read a must get a must gift to people
00:32:31.760
right there's elon musk and the folks he's talking to they're basically and this is what they do behind
00:32:37.220
closed doors folks that's where we bring it to you they say hey the singularity is here and as we've
00:32:42.020
said on the war room it's coming in 2030 baby it's not 2050 or 2060 or 27 it's within the lived
00:32:49.020
experience of this audience and this audience that's in their 70s or 80s the lived experience
00:32:55.520
the singularity elon musk and this crowd they buy often as as it and that is the convergence of all
00:33:01.900
these technologies on what will be homo sapien 2.0 joe allen your thoughts and observations of this
00:33:08.840
quite scary conversation you just presented to us yes steve that occurred in california that was elon
00:33:15.900
musk benjamin netanyahu max tegmark of mit and greg brockman of open ai uh what they were talking
00:33:25.560
about when i say that transhumanism is a techno religion that's what i'm talking about elon musk
00:33:33.540
describing agi previously we'll get to that tomorrow previously as a digital god they're talking about a
00:33:41.760
world run by ai or world dominated by ai being basically heaven uh then greg brockman talking about
00:33:50.740
uh every person on earth being able to have an ai as their primary educator their primary source
00:33:57.580
of information and i thought really steve you know elon musk has oftentimes shied away from the idea of
00:34:04.880
the singularity when he was interviewed last year by business insider he described something very
00:34:10.220
different now with the recent advances in ai uh there you hear him assenting to ray kurzweil's
00:34:17.300
prediction of a singularity and uh of course uh brockman couldn't get away without talking about
00:34:24.080
neural link's critical role in merging human beings with machines so um maybe people don't care that the
00:34:33.520
wealthiest man on earth that one of the most uh powerful political leaders on earth a very
00:34:40.560
influential mit professor and um you know a chief at probably the most powerful ai company on earth
00:34:48.640
open ai talking about uh our future the future of all humanity in terms of an apocalyptic singularity
00:34:57.740
and human beings merging brains with brain chips i would say it's probably the most relevant topic
00:35:03.800
that we could possibly be discussing yeah we're we're going to have you on tomorrow to go into more
00:35:08.980
detail but you had those four different leaders and it was the matter of fact nature remember this is not
00:35:14.360
our future this is their future they're creating because i'm not so sure most of this audience is going
00:35:22.100
to make the cut to travel that you talk about the great replacement theory when people talk about
00:35:27.720
great replacement it's talking about ethnicities or races or or colors or religions that's not what
00:35:32.960
this is about at all this is the replacement of homo sapiens by something else there's a book about
00:35:38.800
communism i think it's called the gods that failed right it's about the gods that they put up as uh as
00:35:43.740
you know the the communist and different than god because they're all atheists and those gods failed
00:35:48.980
this is where they're trying to create gods they're trying to create this they're trying to create at least
00:35:54.860
the beginning of it that then builds itself that we have no control over and it's the arrogance and
00:36:00.280
smugness of that crowd and what i call elon musk these these people are the uh i call him a man child
00:36:07.020
that's what all if you look at all these people associated with it these geeks associated with it
00:36:11.800
they're all on the spectrum and they're all quite dangerous the way they don't have any discernment
00:36:18.080
they don't really have any judgment they're very dismissive of people and dismissive of humans
00:36:23.720
quite frankly and you see right there where they're casually so you say elon musk shifted i i disagree he
00:36:29.460
lied and misrepresented try to try to hide it right and now he's coming out full bloom and what neural link
00:36:36.280
because neural link is much farther down the road and that is going to be one of the leaders and one
00:36:41.080
part of this inch of this uh critical segment for for for the singularity which is the merger
00:36:46.300
of man and machine versus the silicon chip in the brain joe allen
00:36:52.240
the point you just made uh steve i think is probably the most important especially for people
00:36:59.560
in our audience that there are definitely two sides to this this dream there's the you know there's the
00:37:06.440
fantasy side where everyone gets to live forever by way of artificial intelligence maybe nanobots maybe
00:37:12.380
genetic engineering all of this sort of thing death becomes a choice it's very religious and
00:37:17.200
its orientation obviously what happens after you die is maybe the religious question uh and so for them
00:37:24.380
it's a world of agi gods and digital immortality on the other end of that is the rest of us the mass of
00:37:31.920
us uh the primary use of these technologies seems to be to keep us pacified to keep us under control
00:37:37.540
to keep us deluded and trapped in these digital reality bubbles and occasionally to uh wage war
00:37:45.400
against with one side against the other such as we saw during the pandemic and many other times
00:37:50.380
in recent history so yeah you know maybe the most disturbing element as they discuss this this new
00:37:56.600
future world and its promises and perils uh even in the most benevolent version all of us are left
00:38:03.820
useless we are then the useless class we have no nothing to contribute to the economy because in
00:38:11.680
their dream ai and robotics will do it for us if they are 100 correct that means that our lives just
00:38:19.240
simply slide into meaninglessness and we have zero negotiating power because we are useless eaters
00:38:26.000
if they're half correct and everyone is trained to basically become a machine symbiote and to expect
00:38:32.360
machines to take care of all of our problems then you have an entire generation or at least a decade's
00:38:37.860
worth of wasted time on these pipe dreams either way what they are saying for them is a dream uh from
00:38:44.680
my perspective and i think many if not most in the audience it is a pure nightmare yeah okay let's take
00:38:52.640
your number two pencil that out and write this down the deplorables are not going to be the deplorables
00:38:58.100
are not going to make the cutlet you're not going to make the travel squad okay deplorables when those
00:39:03.600
guys in silicon valley and your bettors and the elon mussels that when they're sitting around thinking great
00:39:09.060
thoughts you're not making the traveling squad i just want you to deal with that that's one of the
00:39:15.260
reasons we got to address this now we have to take this on now because if we don't it's going to have
00:39:21.180
ramifications that have not been seen in human history dark ann's the book joe allen's our editor
00:39:27.440
all things transhumanism joe give us your social media we'll be back on here tomorrow morning to go
00:39:32.120
through this in more detail quite shocking we'll have a lot more polls in that conversation with
00:39:37.040
netanyahu elon musk and of course the rest of the cast of characters there uh what's your social media
00:39:43.560
where do people get you in the book uh you can find links to the book at the top of
00:39:48.220
joebot.xyz also uh at joe b-o-t x-y-z twitter and getter uh find it anywhere books are sold amazon
00:39:56.840
barnes and nobles or skyhorse publishing and uh also just to note that pretty much the entire
00:40:02.840
conversation and uh half of the characters on that stage are central uh focuses in the book so if you
00:40:10.900
want to understand how we get to this point uh might be a good place to start
00:40:14.780
joe allen we'll see you back here tomorrow morning our editors for all things transhumanism
00:40:20.520
thanks brother appreciate it thank you very much steve i got a terrific film from a great guy let's go
00:40:27.340
ahead and play the trailer for this and i want to bring him on board one of the one of the best guys
00:40:32.180
it can be said that for everything we wish to learn or want to become there is a road to follow
00:40:43.660
from the beginning the road to believing in only one true god the maker of heaven and earth has
00:40:53.200
carved its roots through the ancient land of israel
00:40:55.320
it is a road that abraham the father of nations walked as the first believer in monotheism
00:41:03.580
it was along this road that god made his covenant with abraham promising that his descendants would
00:41:14.740
it is a road walk by jesus the central figure of christianity
00:41:22.400
this road is deeply symbolic in the story of god shared by jews and christians
00:41:30.880
and it is a literal highway that bisects modern israel
00:41:39.140
route 60 follows the ancient path from nazareth to beersheba
00:41:49.420
it connects many holy sites and biblical events
00:41:53.760
in what could be called the original bible belt
00:41:56.620
it has mile markers human and divine to memorialize the acts of celebration suffering and salvation
00:42:08.480
i'm david friedman and i invite you to join me and my co-host and fellow traveler mike pompeo
00:42:16.860
as we explore the ancient mysteries of route 60
00:42:24.060
ambassador we got about a minute on this side i'm gonna hold you through the break
00:42:31.940
to join us afterwards you were critical in moving the embassy to jerusalem and the abraham accords
00:42:37.860
one of the most productive uh and tough members of the trump administration ambassador david friedman
00:42:43.180
real quickly give us 30 seconds why why were you inspired to i didn't wouldn't think of you as a
00:42:48.920
filmmaker why were you inspired to go make this film well because i've never done it before so that was the
00:42:54.360
main inspiration uh it's always good at 65 years old to try something new but the uh the main thing is
00:43:00.580
that like in four years in government i i came to realize that uh the entire diplomatic architecture of
00:43:07.320
the united states as it came to israel was based on trying to ignore the the biblical sanctity of the
00:43:12.860
the most diplomatically sensitive part of the country and i wanted to bring this issue to life
00:43:18.220
you know the bible sells about 2400 copies an hour it means a lot still to a lot of people
00:43:23.540
and the values there are the values that make us a great nation and um they come from israel
00:43:29.260
they come from this very sacred land that is not understood by by the public and i i wanted to take this
00:43:36.380
area which people think it's just a real estate dispute to show what it really is amen hang on
00:43:43.240

13 to 15 august of 1971 president nixon at camp david and it was not to make peace it was basically get

00:46:08.440
chapter the assassination of our prosperity august 13 august 15 august 1971 read it it's it's incredibly
00:46:17.260
relevant to this debate we're having this week on the two trillion dollar deficit that's in perpetuity
00:46:22.440
what this fight is all about and the cr is going to be beaten um and i've got a lot to say about that
00:46:28.640
in the next hours we're going to talk about ukraine zelinski uh a lot of things get into the finances
00:46:34.680
and the economics of it all ambassador david friedman look the original bible belt route 60 and nothing
00:46:40.400
could be more relevant than to make sure that people understand the real reality of the nation
00:46:46.140
of israel and what is there is that what inspired you to make this movie and talk to us about the
00:46:50.760
original bible belt route 60 yeah i mean it is and and i'll tell you why the the diplomatic world that i
00:46:58.640
you know entered and left uh over the four years that i was in the trump administration that world
00:47:03.800
speaks of a place called the west bank now the west bank is the most diplomatically sensitive part
00:47:09.880
of the middle east and people talk about it in terms of security they talk about it in terms of
00:47:15.100
terrorism they talk about it in terms of the demographics they talk about in terms of the
00:47:20.000
palestinians and the israelis but they bury the lead they never talk about what this land really is
00:47:26.300
which is the most sanctified or the most majestic um the holiest part uh of the entire world it's where
00:47:34.220
the entire bible took place it's where abraham isaac jacob where they had their journeys and god
00:47:40.920
you know gave them their their their promises and their covenants it's where king david ruled it's
00:47:45.640
where king solomon ruled it's where the prophets preached it's where jesus walked it's literally where
00:47:49.900
all of our judeo-christian values come from where the wisdom comes from and no one's talking about
00:47:57.100
the west bank except as some place that is you know a real estate dispute and and it's and it's
00:48:02.820
nothing uh like a real estate dispute we call it judean samaria the israelis call it judean samaria
00:48:09.080
theologically it's referred to as judean samaria we're called jews because we come from the kingdom
00:48:14.760
of judah i mean this is central to who we are and it's central to the christians are and what's you
00:48:20.380
know what's great about it when you see it when you see all these stories and mike pompeo and i we go
00:48:25.700
from place to place and we recount the bible stories that are attributed to these places and we speak
00:48:32.100
about what it means to us and the you know the morality that comes from these places what it does
00:48:36.400
is it takes all the bible stories that we know about it and it takes them from the world of legend you
00:48:42.700
know from the world of myth and it brings them into the world of truth because we actually see the
00:48:47.980
places where these events took place we see the archaeological evidence of these events taking
00:48:53.480
place we bring the bible to life and we bring it to a point of truth as opposed to a a myth and um
00:49:01.000
you know i fear that you know we as a nation have grown so untethered from the wisdom and the teachings
00:49:07.660
and the values that come from the bible that the the best way to reconnect uh is to see it i mean
00:49:14.660
the best way to reconnect is to be there but it's hard to be there it's hard to be there because it's
00:49:18.460
far away it's hard to be there because a lot of these areas aren't safe not everybody gets to go to
00:49:23.100
these places with a security detail in an armored vehicle as as mike and i did but um seeing i think is
00:49:30.880
extraordinarily powerful to a viewer who who studies the bible and and who sees the value and the power
00:49:37.320
of biblical prophecy and so i'm so happy to bring this to a wider audience it's just uh it's the
00:49:43.660
missing piece i think of the entire you know israeli-palestinian conflict you know people talk
00:49:48.400
about uh you know things like uh like you know terrorism and security and all that stuff but you know
00:49:53.860
what rather than talk about the fight we should talk about why people are fighting is there something
00:49:59.240
worth fighting for here and the answer is yes it's very much worth fighting for
00:50:03.480
ambassador the amazing you're starting this in theaters tonight and tomorrow night we're going
00:50:09.720

the bible and connect it to the places where the biblical events took place and um you know i hope
00:50:51.720

00:50:57.240
territory and and and understand can't just give it away can't just deprive people of access to it
00:51:03.500
can't just negate you know the 3500 year old history uh of judaism and christianity that has
