In this episode, I sit down with former Vice President Joe Biden to discuss his time in office, and how he and his supporters have attempted to delegitimize American democracy. We discuss the dangers of artificial intelligence and the need to fight back against them.
00:03:42.720It's so disturbing and is why this Atlantic essay collection is so important.
00:03:48.260And what you see of Trump, big picture, though, all of these ideas that he's pushing, it's the reasonable outcome of the move into political extremism and how Donald Trump is trying to radicalize his followers to the extent that he can do pretty much whatever he wants to.
00:04:05.220And so far, he's been pretty successful in that there's some polling that suggests that one in five Americans, that they are radicalized to the state of an extremist by the same indicators that we would have used when we polled post-9-11 extremism and terrorism in the Middle East.
00:04:26.100And it's incredibly scary that so much of the country is being divided in this way for political expediency and for power.
00:04:35.360And that's why it's important for those who do care about democratic institutions to keep speaking out.
00:04:41.420And we have one day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content.
00:09:40.340It's Monday for December in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:09:50.000Boy, I got to tell you, I got to give a hat tip to the team in Denver and particularly the very hardworking War Room production team that put together, I think, maybe the best cold open we've ever had.
00:10:02.020First, we took President Trump's historic speech.
00:10:06.880The speech on Saturday was quite historic.
00:10:12.480He turned the tide and pointed the guns back onto the Biden regime.
00:10:18.220There's all this nonsense about fascism and anti-democracy when they're obviously the fascists and are building an industrial state led by technology and capital.
00:10:30.680It's beyond suppression of First Amendment.
00:10:42.380This is the CCP model actually more perfected with American technology and American capitalism.
00:10:51.300That's what last week's Monday conference on artificial intelligence was there to celebrate and to push out to all the elites in the country what had been done with this executive order.
00:11:03.200But President Trump very systematically on Saturday in really a historic speech went through everything the Biden regime has done to take away your rights and not simply that, but to control you, not simply to control the narrative, but to start to control people in this country.
00:11:20.140It's getting more and more obvious, and President Trump is now going to make that a major part of the campaign.
00:11:29.260They can't sell Bidenomics because, obviously, it's a total disaster.
00:11:33.860In fact, the House Democrats don't even want to use the term Bidenomics anymore.
00:11:37.880He can't push his national security or foreign policy because this war is breaking out all over.
00:11:42.920We're getting sucked into – you've got the United States Navy destroyer, and God knows why we're in the Red Sea because that's just a shooting gallery taking incoming from Persian militias.
00:11:53.500The Houthi militias down the tip of Saudi Arabia are shooting at commercial vessels, but particularly shooting at United States Navy combatants.
00:12:02.040Like, we're sitting there trying to get a Gulf of Tung King II.
00:12:06.440And so you've got last night the Venezuelans, oh, only by 95% to 5% passed a referendum to essentially take over half of Guyana, of which they're going to do militarily to get the oil resources now that they realize that Guyana has – is the new Saudi Arabia of Latin America.
00:12:45.580And President Trump threw down Hart and walked through it to the fact that the war room posse, your voice was heard.
00:12:52.280The first thing he's going to do, he's going to rescind the law, as Schmidt said, the longest executive order ever written that ties in and makes artificial intelligence central to every aspect of the government.
00:13:03.340This is something they worked on with MI5 and MI6.
00:13:06.500That's the U.K. event that Schmidt's talking about.
00:13:09.860President Trump said, hey, suck on this.
00:13:11.780The first thing I'm going to do is rescind that executive order.
00:13:15.260And this is why – I don't know why the House is not having hearings that are lasting 18, 20 hours a day to get these folks up there and keelhaul them exactly what they're working on.
00:13:39.380He wrote one of the dumbest books ever on the change of the Republican Party.
00:13:42.540He really did do the eyes of Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.
00:13:46.280And so it was – but now because he's an ex-preacher son or something, and as you know, most of the problems in the evangelical church come from sons of preachers, just as the congregants, particularly the female ones.
00:13:57.020He's there, and he's a son of a preacher.
00:14:00.500And so he sits there and goes, the problem we have, here's the problem we have.
00:14:04.880The central problem in the country is that MAGA loves America too much.
00:14:10.240You're too patriotic and you love the country too much.
00:16:54.820What the show's trying to do with our sponsors and being selective is things that can potentially impact your life, whether that's the patriot economy, whether that is the preparation or the self-reliance part of the economy, whether it's health, those types of things.
00:17:14.120Later today, we're going to talk about credit card and credit card debt.
00:17:16.960Over a trillion dollars of credit card debt now at 30% APR.
00:17:22.320The single biggest reason they say that the generation under 30 is not going to be able to get ahead because they're just on a treadmill right now.
00:17:30.340And if they get a bonus at the end of the year, that bonus is just basically pay down some credit card debt and then to keep going.
00:17:35.580But the gold situation, I think you have to.
00:17:38.800We try to lay out the macro, and I think we've got a pretty good track record of doing that.
00:17:43.440And Birch Gold has been a sponsor for three years.
00:17:53.680Whether you make a decision or not to add it to your portfolio or put some of your pension money there, et cetera, or allocate your resources, or even if you don't have a lot of money, if you say, hey, maybe instead of putting it in a bank, I put it in gold.
00:18:05.900What's important for you as a member of the war and posse and as the tip of the spear, this cadre that is changing the direction of the country and therefore the world, and that's happening.
00:18:17.640Remember, you're the lead kind of battalion of the Trump movement.
00:18:24.320You're always there to do the nitty-gritty, whether it's precinct committee or whether to be the pressure campaign in the House, and we're going to have to get on another one on that we're going to talk about in a minute.
00:18:35.040And so it's important for you to understand this, not just for your personal life but also for your community and the direction of the nation.
00:18:42.000That's what we've done, and it's been totally free.
00:18:44.140I think it's two years now, two and a half years we've been doing the end of the dollar empire because we saw as soon as Biden came in and what their spending plan was,
00:18:52.660what they were doing on the southern border the first couple days and what they were doing with pushing forward when we didn't have a drop in aggregate demand,
00:18:59.480all this massive spending and massive spending programs that inflation was going to explode, that was going to trickle down into the bond market.
00:19:06.940It was going to trickle down into the capitalization, the banks, all of it.
00:19:09.700And so this – we wanted you to understand what it meant for us to be the prime reserve currency.
00:19:15.840Why did we have the ability to even run these massive deficits, which are going to be huge and now are structural and in perpetuity?
00:19:23.320So the end of the dollar empire does that.
00:19:28.740Right now we're working with Philip Patrick and the team, and it will be out hopefully before the holidays, maybe at just the beginning of the year.
00:19:33.940But the third – I want you to read them all, but the third is the most important for right now, which is the debt trap and to understand what these deficits mean.
00:19:43.060Because remember, we've gone through a while where they had this radical theory called modern monetary theory.
00:19:49.380It came up by some French guys and said deficits don't matter.
00:19:53.180If you ever have a problem, you just massively raise taxes.
00:19:55.580Of course you know that that's not – all that's not true.
00:19:58.960And it's gotten us into this situation, what we're in.
00:20:02.880But I also want you to talk to Philip Patrick and the team and get on the phone with him and say, hey, I understand that, but tell me why the central banks throughout the world, the BRICS nations, which are clearly now you see aligned in a geostrategic challenge to the West.
00:20:18.260And they're making alliances that wouldn't normally be made.
00:20:21.240This is why the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a Sharia supremacist organization, and the Persians, which have their version of Islam, which is Sharia supremacists.
00:20:32.960Why the Turks, why the – the restoration of the Ottoman Empire, which Erdogan thinks he's a historical figure to do.
00:20:39.600The KGB in Moscow clearly run and thought through strategically and underwritten by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:20:48.320Now the Venezuelans, they voted last night 95 to 5 to essentially take over half the nation of Guyana.
00:20:55.300And as we had the special on the Monroe Doctrine, in the old days, nobody would think about doing things like that.
00:21:01.740In the new days under the Biden regime, of course they're going to do it.
00:21:04.760And so this is why for 5,000 years in mankind's history, gold has been a hedge.
00:21:12.020It's one of the reasons it's driving this intensity about gold today.
00:21:16.900But what we want you to do is understand it.
00:21:18.720Understand it first so that you can be conversant about it so that – and particularly as MAGA goes forward and we win the 2024 election.
00:21:27.080And, you know, just think about it if you read the fourth installment about why we got off the gold standard and why President Nixon did that over a weekend in August of 1971.
00:21:38.600You will then kind of question and figure out, hey, Steve, you told us about executive orders aren't actually laws.
00:21:44.220This was done in an emergency executive order.
00:21:47.040It's been around now for what, I don't know, 50 years.
00:21:50.160So the questions start coming hot and heavy about what really is it going forward.
00:21:55.840Do we go back to the convertibility at some price of the United States dollar into gold?
00:22:02.080Because the really beginning of the fiat currency was then.
00:22:05.520And everything that's happened economically to the middle class and working class since that time, since August 1971, has not been good.
00:22:12.540Right now, this talk about inflation and the phony discussion of inflation, you hear everybody saying, well, you know, inflation is not – Biden has done it.
00:22:21.080When you look how it's looked at where they take out rent and food and they just look at like televisions and computers, you realize it's a phony analysis.
00:22:30.980What you really should be looking at is purchasing power.
00:22:33.440There's an article this weekend, and I put it up on Getter.
00:22:36.020If we can pull it out, I want to make sure Grace and Mo push it out to everybody, and then you should be a force of multi-volume and pull it out and push it out.
00:22:43.500What's killing people is really the devaluation or the default, whatever you want to say, on our currency and on our bondholders.
00:22:51.120This lack of – drop in purchasing power I think is 19 or 20 percent right now since the Biden regime took over.
00:22:56.240That's why people in their lived experience or their lives are sitting there going, hey, I don't know about you guys, but inflation to me is like 30 or 40 percent.
00:23:03.760If you don't think you're being crushed, this credit card debt – because remember, credit card debt is an unsecured loan.
00:23:11.240It's an unsecured loan to you by a bank or a credit card company, and quite frankly, it's exploded out of control because during the good times when interest rates low, college kids or people first start, and you pick up the mail every day, and you had another credit card with $5,000 credit loan.
00:23:38.880Part of the MAGA solution that we're trying to work through is how do the working class and the middle class – how are they able to get control of their lives?
00:23:47.500That's what this show, as a platform, we hope to be, a still point in a turning world.
00:23:51.560This is why last week when nobody else was talking about it, we very much focused on that Axios.
00:23:57.440Remember, Axios is really the – it's Mike Allen and Vander Heigh, and they were the guys that were at the Washington Post, and they created Politico.
00:24:05.800They then sold it, I think, for a billion dollars or a couple billion dollars to the German publishing company, and then they started Axios.
00:24:11.800Axios is kind of snippets of information with clips and connections, but it's the way the – even more than Morning Joe, it drives the narrative because it's the conventional wisdom of the imperial capital.
00:24:23.480And so when they had their love fest last Monday, I think it was, in Washington, D.C., we said this is going to be important.
00:24:30.840So Joe Allen, we had a whole team, and what we heard shocked even the War Room team.
00:24:36.020Here is a completely thought through, completely thought through way to change the administrative state, change the deep state, so it absolutely can use the greatest advances in technology that have all been funded by your dollars, your tax dollars, your pension funds.
00:24:52.280And tax dollars have gone to these research universities, maybe a lot of your alma matas that you love, to use that against you, to control you.
00:25:00.140The executive order is by far the most fascist executive order I have ever read, and he's sitting there bragging about it and talking about the U.K. event.
00:25:09.400This is something that was driven during the pandemic by MI5 and MI6.
00:25:14.240MI5 and MI6, one is the internal intelligence service of the British Empire.
00:25:20.240The other is the outside, their CIA, they're working with, and he says they really know how to do this.
00:25:26.140They really know how to – this is how a small island country controlled the largest empire in the world at one time and still controls a vast swath of the financial and business community throughout the world.
00:25:38.340And so in reading that executive order chilled us to the bones because they – and right up front, we're going to incorporate artificial intelligence every – this is Schmidt's comment – every aspect of government.
00:25:54.120And President Trump, I think, has had enough.
00:25:55.940I think that's why that speech in Iowa at Cedar Rapids will be referred to and will go down in the history of Trump and the Trump movement.
00:26:04.000He basically had a belly full and said, OK, Biden, you can't run on anything else.
00:26:07.620If you compare the two track records of the men as presidents, one legitimate, one illegitimate, but if you compare the peace and prosperity of the Trump years to the absolute failure in every aspect of Biden, they know they can't run on that.
00:26:21.640And the conventional wisdom is telling them that.
00:26:23.120They're trying to push out – they're trying to push out Biden right now with the help of the Murdochs, the help of the Murdochs to push up Newsom as an alternative.
00:26:32.260They will do everything, and that's why in the cold open, what did we end with?
00:26:36.040We ended with Fox News finally having to cover one of the Trump speeches, which they hate to do.
00:26:43.380But finally covering President Trump's speeches because there's nothing else to cover in Iowa.
00:26:47.000What is the sanctimonious running around in a living room with six people?
00:26:51.800You know, Nikki Haley, who doesn't even have a ground game there because they want to downplay Iowa because they know she's going to get slaughtered there?
00:26:57.760They actually – when President Trump's sitting there, they cut away and they say, well, look at the announcement.
00:27:03.740Well, falsehoods like the lies about the 2020 election.
00:27:06.420No, Murdochs, you helped rig the 2020 election by what you did by calling Arizona early, and we know you didn't win Arizona.
00:27:51.200And this audience and your efforts and your phone calls, President Trump has deemed his first act is to rip up and rescind the executive order that puts artificial intelligence, not just to control the narrative, but to control your life.
00:28:04.760President Trump said, no, I've had a belly full of this.
00:28:07.960Biden is the destroyer of democracy in this country, and it will not happen while President Trump draws a breath.
00:30:53.700This is a war criminal who did more to destroy this country by lying about Iraq.
00:30:58.620He knew more than the airhead Bush that there were no weapons of mass destruction.
00:31:05.420And look the American people in the eye and lied.
00:31:07.120All those combat deaths, all the PTSD, all the casualties, the $7 trillion as as analyzed by Brown University's group that focused on that.
00:31:18.940All of it on his shoulders and the doofus that he put in office.
00:32:14.040Get a big old pot of it first thing in the morning.
00:32:16.320Get all jacked up, ready to come in the war room and get you folks some information that you use throughout the day.
00:32:23.540So when you're talking to Philip Patrick and the team over at Birch Gold, go to birchgold.com slash band.
00:32:27.580And when you're talking to Philip Patrick, get a cup of coffee, cut the phones off, cut the show off, cut all of it off, the TV, all of it.
00:32:35.360That's the best thing you've got is your brain, your brain, your heart, and your soul, and your spirit.
00:32:40.380With that, we're going to save this republic.
00:32:42.360Congressman Rosendale, gold is at an all-time high, or at least it was when we started the show.
00:32:46.800I think there may be some profit-taking, as we say.
00:32:49.460But it's an all-time high, close to it.
00:32:53.400And that's a response to the out-of-control, feckless leadership of the Uniparty and our oligarch leaders on Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
00:33:06.100Because we're still spending – we're having deficits of $2 trillion that the Chinese Communist Party won't buy our bonds anymore.
00:36:54.220So all the talk about, you know, in 2030 and 2035, it's the reason that we have $1.2 trillion in credit card debt at 30% APR is because of this deficit.
00:37:29.720I can't tell whether they don't believe that it's going to cause us the financial collapse that we all have been talking about or they don't care because it just makes them uncomfortable in this given moment in time, Steve.
00:37:42.640I cannot comprehend it because I look at this and see that between the national debt and our southern border, there's a lot of really bad issues.
00:37:53.320But those two are what is going to destroy our nation.
00:37:59.560And so every single conversation that I enter into tries to address it.
00:38:04.480You have one of the largest congressional districts in the world, and you have a congressional district that has what I call the salt of the earth.
00:38:13.760If you can make it up there in that part of Montana, you have the original spirit of the pioneers that built this country.
00:38:23.700Those folks, when you're in Montana, what do they say about their economic lives?
00:38:28.280So let's understand, it's not sometime in the future.
00:38:31.140The working class is being crushed by this right now, and the middle class is starting to get crushed, and under 30, you're screwed.
00:38:38.460Do your folks in your district understand that in their lived experience?
00:38:46.300They are self-sufficient enough, most of my constituents, that they're going to survive this whole mess a lot better than the folks that are in Chuck Schumer's district.
00:38:59.760They're going to survive it a whole lot better than the folks down in Kevin McCarthy's district, I can assure you of that, than Mitch McConnell's district.
00:39:10.720But when you see, as you stated earlier, the value of gold at an all-time high, we've seen the downgrade of the dollar, our credit rating, twice over the last 12 months.
00:39:23.100These things aren't just market conditions that affect the investors in Wall Street.
00:39:29.200That is absolutely going to affect how people survive in our country.
00:39:34.160What happens to the grocery bill, the gasoline?
00:39:39.500It's going to impact every aspect of their lives, and my people are going to survive it a whole lot better than a lot of these other folks.
00:39:47.280So when I go in there and fight, it's truly for everybody.
00:40:09.440What I would want to say is that if the speaker is not going to come forward and say no to the Senate and do another continuing resolution,
00:40:20.140if he's going to allow for all these clean FISA renewals and all these other things, we are going to say no for him.
00:40:26.700And what that means is it means violating the norms and voting down the rules.
00:40:33.540But if that's what it takes, that's what we're going to do.
00:40:36.460If it means taking a trip to the border and denying them the majority, then that's what we're going to do.
00:40:41.440At the end of the day, we're here to save America.
00:41:24.500We fought very hard back in January to have single-subject legislation.
00:41:28.420We're not going to go along with this Christmas tree approach to try and take FISA and attach it to the NDAA and to force something through.
00:41:37.020FISA, I mean, I could spend an entire program with you on that very piece of legislation, Steve, because there are so many flaws and problems.
00:41:47.120And when I hear the intelligence community trying to tell leadership about how necessary this is, they want to spy on everybody.
00:41:55.220You talked about AI and the executive order earlier.
00:41:58.120They want to spy on every single American across this nation.
00:42:03.040And that would absolutely leave our founders aghast to think of the information that is utilized and gathered about American citizens right now at this point in time.
00:42:16.680And so we have to keep all these things separate.
00:42:20.860And I, as proven by my votes in the past, will use every tool that is available through the legislative process to make sure that we don't allow the American people to get screwed again.
00:42:36.820Last thing before we leave, we've got to bounce.
00:42:38.880Are you for not going home for Christmas and staying up there, much as you want to get back to Montana and the great folks there, but stay there, work all the way through January 19th to get this thing sorted?
00:42:47.220I have said many times over, and I'll say it again.
00:42:51.520I will stay here as long as necessary to make sure that we put the reforms in place to protect the American people, to make the cuts that are necessary to the spending, to protect the American people.
00:45:39.600Did an interview, and they talked about when I had my own firm.
00:45:43.260And one of the questions I used to ask people when we were, because we had a certain house style, just like we have here at War Room.
00:45:49.440And the people who work at War Room, particularly the folks in Denver and Rob Sigg.
00:45:54.920I'm a big believer in gym rats and people that, you know, the young guys that were sweeping the gym at 9 in the morning, you know, from the movie Hoosiers and play basketball all day and then close up and lock up and clean up.
00:46:08.540I've always been a huge believer, particularly for young people.
00:46:11.280When you're in a craft or a guild and you're learning your trade, learning your profession, just, you know, stick to it in us.
00:46:17.760Being around, hanging around means a lot.
00:46:19.780I don't like people that watch the clock, never have, wasn't raised like that.
00:46:52.320What I want to hear is your commitment to see it through, your commitment to the objective.
00:46:56.720Our task and purpose, our objective is quite simple, to save this republic, the new Jerusalem, Tim, Alberta, that we do have a special covenant about this country and what it's represented, what it means.
00:47:09.680And we will fight to the bitter end to restore this.
00:47:12.380And that's why we're winning and that's why we're ascended.
00:47:15.840They're going to use every part of technology, every part of capital, everything to depress you, to get you looking at misdirection plays, chasing shiny toys.
00:47:24.480We need work and we need work up on Capitol Hill now.
00:47:27.700They should cancel the Christmas holiday.
00:47:29.280They should work every day except for Christmas morning and then have a religious service.
00:47:33.980You know, maybe have Hanukkah the night before and Christmas morning, have a religious service at the Capitol and television nationwide to be very inspirational and then go back to work to solve these multiple crises.
00:47:47.560The nation thing, that's what you can't.
00:48:34.560And I think you could base a whole campaign on how the left is trying to take away this country's heritage.
00:48:41.640And the other thing I want to say is that irony alert, the highest of irony, Steve, those people are trying to put you and me, Trump and everybody in Trump world in prison and under their spying justice system, intimidate.
00:49:01.400And they're accusing us, us, us of wanting a dictatorship.
00:49:15.740These financial markets right now are so awash in money that we're seeing a rally in the stock market, which is illusory.
00:49:26.000We're seeing all sorts of things happen in a way which totally ignores, totally ignores the plight of middle America, common Americans.
00:49:39.140I sent you a chart over the weekend that got it was like had all the different boxes where inflation has gone up by by mega double digits.
00:49:51.240These are the realities that our country is dealing with the working class.
00:49:58.660Yeah, they might have a job right now, but their real wages and standard of living are going down.
00:50:04.420All these young folk which flock to the Bernie bros and the Bidens and this, that and the other thing, they are coming to the realization that they'll never buy a home, they'll never buy a car, they'll never have the life that we had in the past.
00:50:23.500And they're going to be just the gig economy slaves forever because of the irresponsible way.
00:50:32.060The last thing I should say, Steve, on top of all of these financial problems that we're facing, I'm getting the strongest whiff of wag the dog here.
00:50:40.440When I wake up in the morning and I see Hootie rebels sending rockets out into the Persian Gulf and the United States military being the policemen there, that worries the hell out.
00:51:26.980It's going to be a wag the dog war going into November where we shift the focus away from the Israeli-Palestinian issue and make Iran the latest big evil.
00:51:42.520You can see that coming when you see charts in the New York Times about how all the attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq from Iran.
00:51:51.520You see ships there providing all sorts.
00:51:54.740I mean, we don't have a strategy or a plan.
00:52:54.780We have too many meek, meek Republicans there in the House of Representatives who are not using the power that God gave them in the last election.
00:55:59.320I got an emergency medication kit from them.
