Summary
In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the impact of the Supreme Court's amicus brief in favor of President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Amicus Gracie, and why he's a special threat to the country. We also discuss the latest consumer price index and consumer spending data, and what it means for the economy.

00:00:00.000
And I wonder how or whether there's a tipping point where it is not possible that all these people that left are part of some left wing cabal, right?
00:00:12.300
Is there a tipping point where even the most enthusiastic Trump voter says, maybe he wasn't that great?
00:00:20.380
It's a good question. And I admire the people who have the moral courage to say I was wrong. He's a special threat.
00:00:27.580
I don't know if regular voters pay attention to that. I mean, that's why I think the amicus brief is so important, because it also puts how unprecedented Trump is in historical context, because it talks about how we created the founders created civilian leadership for the military that had never existed in the history of the world before.
00:00:48.540
The militaries were obligated to to work for the kings or tyrants that they that they served.
00:00:55.220
They are military take an oath to say we we solemnly swear to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
00:01:05.560
There's no other military in the world that takes an oath to the Constitution.
00:01:08.800
The British military still takes an oath to the king.
00:01:11.340
And that comes back around to why he is a special threat, because he sees himself as a king.
00:01:16.940
He's like a 16 year old boy and thinks I have the military.
00:01:20.220
I can tell them what to do. I can have them, you know, shoot miles.
00:01:24.260
I you know, I can have them get against all my enemies.
00:01:26.460
And it does have some resonance with people who have this grievance.
00:01:33.820
So when he says I am your retribution, he's weaponizing the grievance of these Americans who who feel left out, who don't understand these foundational principles that those that those military leaders said that he is a unique national security threat.
00:01:48.920
The former president of the United States, we are looking at yields popping up and we are very close to the number here.
00:01:57.520
This is, as Becky pointed out, March Consumer Price Index, the headline number expected to be up three tenths is hotter than expected.
00:02:05.600
It's up four tenths of a percent, four tenths of a percent, which equals our last look.
00:02:10.820
And, of course, to look for a higher number, it would be August last year when it was up point five.
00:02:15.080
But in between, we're as low as point one in October of last year.
00:02:20.420
This doesn't seem like it's cooling very quickly here.
00:02:23.000
Point four, if you strip out food and energy, back to back point fours last month as well.
00:02:28.680
As Becky pointed out, we're expecting point three to find a higher number.
00:02:32.860
You'll go to April of last year when it was point five.
00:02:35.080
And in between, the low number was two tenths several times last year.
00:02:39.700
If you look at year over year, CPI, we're expecting three point four hotter than expected.
00:02:47.700
This is three tenths, three tenths hotter than we looked at in the rearview mirror at three point two.
00:02:54.340
To find a bigger number than three point five, you're going back to May of last year when it was, oh, excuse me, I am wrong.
00:03:01.440
September of last year when it was three point seven.
00:03:04.380
And finally, what many would consider the most important number year over year, CPI core three point eight hotter than expected equals the rearview mirror.
00:03:15.140
To find a higher number, January was three point nine.
00:03:22.540
Our last look at what we have today actually is the lowest since three point oh in April of twenty one.
00:03:36.540
If you look at the nonseasonally adjusted headline CPI index started in 1913, it's coming out today at three twelve point three three two, which is another all time high.
00:03:49.060
Meaning to go back to 1913, you won't find a higher number.
00:03:53.260
And on the CPI core index, which is seasonally adjusted, the number here is three sixteen point seven.
00:04:04.540
The undecided voters were also asked how they think President Biden is doing on the economy.
00:04:13.520
I think he's been absolutely disastrous for the economy.
00:04:19.060
Raise your hand if you think, President Trump's policies on the economy would be better for your family personally.
00:04:28.440
President Biden argues that his economic record has been very good.
00:04:37.740
Sean, since you had the best smile in Virginia, the second best smile.
00:04:40.960
What are you keying off of to say President Trump's economic policies would be better?
00:04:47.580
I know it was post twenty twenty twenty and everything kind of flipped around, but you can't you can't blame everything on twenty twenty for forever.
00:04:54.320
We have areas here in Pennsylvania where it's just at a standstill right now.
00:04:58.880
Like things are supposed to be being built and the interest rates are just way too high for people to to to, you know, invest in and start moving, moving around.
00:05:09.200
And Virginia, just staying with you, because because Pennsylvania is near and dear to Joe Biden's heart.
00:05:13.900
Are there Biden policies that you would blame for the problem?
00:05:18.120
The interest rate is so high right now, and I know they're trying to cut the inflation down.
00:05:23.700
But like if nobody is building, no, no businesses are really coming to Pennsylvania right now to keep us moving forward.
00:05:30.960
Even if you're trying to buy a house because I'm trying to become a first time home buyer, the prices are so high right now.
00:05:38.320
Is there anything Joe Biden could do or say between now and the time you vote that would make you feel differently about feeling that his policies would not be as good for your family on the economy?
00:05:50.880
Or have you pretty much decided that Trump's policies would be better for the economy?
00:05:54.860
I mean, I feel like he doesn't even take accountability for us at all with what's going on in the economy, not even accountability.
00:06:02.360
The point is Biden needs to hear the people, because when he's talking about the economy, doing stellar, he's talking about the stock market.
00:06:08.820
He's not looking at homelessness or joblessness.
00:06:10.820
He's not, I need his point, thinking about how much it costs to go to the grocery store.
00:06:14.440
And he's gaslighting literally everyone in the process.
00:06:17.320
And Omar, you voted for Joe Biden last time, right?
00:06:34.560
You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:06:42.200
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:06:46.120
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:06:50.860
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:06:56.240
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:06:59.420
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:07:09.660
It's Wednesday, 10 April, Year of Our Lord, 2024.
00:07:18.980
A Donnybrook over at the Republican House conference this morning.
00:07:23.440
I think it's kind of going on even as we speak.
00:07:30.360
E.J. and Tony's going to join us on this inflation number.
00:07:36.680
One of the reasons it's not going away, the embedded cost of financing this debacle short term in the national debt, which is one third of it.
00:07:50.900
Okay, since the day Joe Biden usurped himself into the Oval Office from that date to today, gasoline up 47.8 percent, groceries up 21 percent, eating out, dining out 21 percent, baby food up 30 percent, pet food up 24 percent, rent up 21 percent, electricity up 28.3 percent.
00:08:12.760
Thank you, Dave Walsh, natural gas, natural gas, 26.9 percent, as he's pointed out, used cars up 21 percent, airfare up 33 percent, public transportation up 22.2 percent, and wait, wait, real average weekly earnings, wait for it, wait for it, down 3.9 percent, almost 4 percent.
00:08:37.880
E.J. and Tony, this is not the number they wanted today.
00:08:41.440
This is why the distraction on abortion and all this other stuff gets away from the thing itself, which is, and we saw that magnificent focus group of people that either supported Biden, voted for Biden, or are independents, lean to Biden.
00:08:58.420
They're hating on him, and they don't want you to use the term Bidenomics.
00:09:02.400
Your thoughts today on this number, E.J. and Tony?
00:09:04.440
Well, I think it was absolutely appalling, all of the people who feigned surprise that we had yet another hot CPI print.
00:09:13.300
Look, there has been nothing since June of 2022 in the data that pointed to inflation going to 2 percent.
00:09:20.800
It has consistently been pointing to a rate of over 3 percent.
00:09:25.260
We've arrived there, and there is absolutely no indication we're going any lower.
00:09:29.260
Steve, we have been talking literally for a year now about how inflation can't go lower because the Treasury continues spending and borrowing at this insane breakneck pace and that the Fed is quietly increasing liquidity to pay for it all.
00:09:45.640
And even with all of the monetary machinations that the Fed is doing behind the scene, we continue to see yields on Treasuries tick up higher and higher because bond owners are essentially getting wise to the fact that inflation is going to eat away their returns.
00:10:02.620
And so they are demanding higher and higher yields no matter how much money the Fed is willing to pump out into the markets.
00:10:08.820
This is – I want to give you the New York Times headline, which is probably the closest thing to a cheerleading section in the media because MSNBC just drafts off it.
00:10:19.800
Headline New York Times, U.S. consumer prices rose 3.5 percent in the year through March 2024, an unexpectedly sharp pickup in the rate of inflation.
00:10:33.800
E.J. and Tony, your observations about their headline.
00:10:36.520
Yesterday, I had said it was going to be 3.5 percent, and sure enough, it was 3.5 percent.
00:10:44.640
And that's not because I have any kind of insider information.
00:10:47.400
It's simply because I'm willing to look at the data and not insert political ideology or what I hope the numbers will be in order to influence the Fed, in order to influence the election.
00:10:57.700
Look, at the end of the day, you just can't square this circle.
00:11:01.320
There is no way you can get something for nothing, and that's precisely what the Treasury is trying to do under Joe Biden.
00:11:09.120
And it doesn't matter how many cheerleaders in the media are going to tell you that one is two.
00:11:21.400
We didn't have time to cut it all because it just happened.
00:11:23.460
Tell me a little bit about some of the non-Rick Santelli cheerleaders you've seen on morning business television and other places this morning.
00:11:33.480
Steve, again, appalling is the best word that comes to mind that I think you can use on a family-friendly show.
00:11:39.320
You have people out there saying that, well, we should be grateful that inflation has come down to an annualized rate of over 4% because it's not running at the insane rates that we had in the middle of 2022.
00:11:55.640
You're becoming poorer slower than you were in the past.
00:12:00.260
At the end of the day, prices are rising so fast right now that a newborn baby today will face a price level twice as high by the time he is eligible to vote.
00:12:14.680
In just 15 and a half years, prices are going to double again from the current level.
00:12:21.040
That's how fast price increases are rising right now.
00:12:23.900
So when you hear rates like 0.4% on a monthly basis, that may not sound like much.
00:12:30.080
And that's what the cheerleaders will focus on.
00:12:35.460
That's on top of all the price increases we've already seen.
00:12:39.500
And those increases will continue for the foreseeable future.
00:12:43.480
And those monthly rates add up tremendously over time, again, till you get to a point where prices are doubling in only 15 and a half years.
00:13:03.940
I'm going to play, actually, Andrew Ross Sorkin from the other day.
00:13:08.520
Andrew Ross Sorkin actually called this on CNBC.
00:13:14.720
Andrew Ross Sorkin is the columnist over at The New York Times and is no friend of President Trump.
00:13:20.580
But what Sorkin said is that these price increases are embedded into it.
00:13:25.540
One of the reasons they're embedded into it, one of the reasons they're embedded into it, quite frankly, is the fact that you've got this massive federal spending.
00:13:33.380
The fiscal irresponsibility rolls into monetary irresponsibility.
00:13:40.220
You've got a Federal Reserve that sits there and just continues to cover the fiscal madness.
00:13:46.260
You've got an irresponsible Secretary of the Treasury in Janet Yellen.
00:13:49.660
She's over at China kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:13:52.440
You have an irresponsible head of the Federal Reserve that has looked to the invasion of the southern border to drive down wages.
00:14:00.240
You have a catastrophe for the American people.
00:14:03.140
It's a flat-out catastrophe for the American people.
00:14:05.700
And now they finally had to admit there's not going to be more rate cuts.
00:14:13.060
All the benefits they get, they pitch you, are all lies, like the jobs report.
00:14:19.400
All those jobs are going to illegal alien invaders.
00:14:24.560
The inflation you have to live with, with the massive federal spending.
00:14:27.760
This is why this conference meeting with the Republicans, it's about FISA, but it's also about Ukraine.
00:14:33.040
On top of all the spending, the $2 trillion deficit, they're trying to throw another $60 billion over to support Ukraine.
00:14:39.960
Okay, one thing you've got to do, go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:14:44.020
Now's the time to talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:14:46.300
Philip's going to be with us on Saturday for at least, hopefully, an hour, at least a half hour to walk through everything.
00:14:59.260
The so-called financial experts thought we were in the clear.
00:15:02.900
They were anticipating around six rate cuts by the Fed this year, and then the inflation data came out higher than expected.
00:15:13.320
The U.S. is $34 trillion plus in the hole, and yet we keep printing money, which pushes the prices you pay every day even higher.
00:15:23.300
So you can either bury your head in the sand, or you can do something about it.
00:15:28.380
Diversify a portion of your savings into gold with Birchgold Group.
00:15:32.640
Gold is your hedge against inflation, and Birchgold makes it easy to own.
00:15:37.380
They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold, and you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:15:45.560
Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989-8-9-8, and get your free info kit on gold.
00:15:53.120
Then talk to a precious metals specialist on how to protect your savings from persistent inflation with gold.
00:16:09.140
I really was shocked, and that goes to the idea that there's a feeling and there may be data,
00:16:14.320
and as I said, the trend line of the data is right in a good way, but the feeling is not wrong either,
00:16:21.240
and the feeling is the reality in so many ways.
00:16:27.240
There's that piece in the Journal today that talks about food prices, talks about going to a restaurant,
00:16:33.960
So many things do cost so much more than they did before,
00:16:37.520
and that's something that is not going to get resolved before November.
00:16:43.380
You get the trend line in the right direction before November,
00:16:46.340
but you're not going to have prices reverse, if you will, materially reverse in a way,
00:16:58.660
That's the wunderkind over at the New York Times.
00:17:02.580
E.J. and Tony, he's a little bit wrong about the trend line because he hit a speed bump today.
00:17:08.440
But more importantly, the prices, it's not going to reverse.
00:17:18.520
Is there anything – you can't get serious about this until you get serious about not having $2 trillion deficits.
00:17:30.880
So much of what we're seeing out of monetary policy is being driven by fiscal policy.
00:17:36.620
Jerome Powell, at this point, is a captive of Janet Yellen.
00:17:39.740
He's essentially just doing her bidding on a daily basis.
00:17:42.380
And so until we can, as you just said, get that $2 trillion deficit down, you're not going to be able to get rid of this inflation, Steve.
00:17:56.780
E.J., where do they go, particularly on social media, over at Heritage?
00:18:00.280
Where do they go – you're working also with Steve Moore.
00:18:02.700
Where do they go on social media to track all of your output over at Twitter because you're putting up some great stuff?
00:18:09.300
Best place to find me is going to be right there on Twitter, and the handle is at real E.J. Antony.
00:18:22.880
By the way, thanks for the work on the numbers.
00:18:28.640
Let me bring in Brad Devlin from American Conservancy.
00:18:34.640
With this $2 trillion deficit, the inflation number out, the political class lacking the will to get their arms around it,
00:18:44.400
they're still talking about pushing this $60 billion Ukraine supplemental with a part of it being that we're going to steal their assets.
00:18:54.300
We're going to steal the Russian people's assets, and we're going to convert that to cash to give the Ukrainians.
00:18:58.980
And all that, J.D. Vance and MTG have found out, and you guys have done an amazing job reporting this,
00:19:04.980
and we can get the article up, and Mo and Grace and Carly and Elizabeth and everybody else push it out.
00:19:11.160
You're reporting that there's $14 billion that we undercounted.
00:19:15.760
Is that what I'm hearing, Brad, that there's $14 billion that actually went to Ukraine that either we didn't know about,
00:19:22.400
or the DOD or the administration or somebody lied about, sir?
00:19:27.440
When we started this effort, conservatives in Congress started this effort in January of 2023,
00:19:33.760
everyone said, listen, we're funding this war to the hilt, but does anyone have a real number?
00:19:37.760
I mean, Ned Price is coming out and saying it's about $80 billion, while appropriators say it's $100 billion.
00:19:46.080
And it took the Biden administration eight months nearly to respond to that request and said,
00:19:52.040
we're spending $111 billion on this conflict, but this isn't included in the data, and that's not included in the data,
00:20:01.420
and don't even get me started on reprogrammings and transfers.
00:20:05.580
And so conservatives in Congress like J.D. Vance and Marjorie Taylor Greene and others,
00:20:10.060
who have been right on this issue from the beginning, came back and said, well, that's not satisfactory.
00:20:14.980
That's not the information we were looking for.
00:20:17.560
Upon looking at the $111 billion further, they estimated it was going to be around $114 billion.
00:20:28.420
And lo and behold, six months later, the Biden administration comes back with a bunch of opaque data sheets,
00:20:41.200
So when you do the math and you look at those data sets,
00:20:44.140
you realize that we've spent $125 billion on this conflict,
00:20:48.340
which is $14 billion more than the Biden administration previously admitted to.
00:20:53.620
On top of that, another $4 billion can be used from the Presidential Drawdown Authority,
00:20:59.560
which pulls directly from U.S. stockpiles of weapons.
00:21:02.440
So the price tag could end up being $129 billion in short order, Steve.
00:21:13.500
Because now I heard today it's getting very – it's getting quite vitriolic over there.
00:21:18.940
And there's a lot of people – a majority of the majority here already are saying, hey, we can't do this.
00:21:24.000
They don't want another penny spent on Ukraine.
00:21:25.860
What is your sense – because you guys are one of the best papers, journals, news sites for the conservatives in our entire movement.
00:21:35.600
What's the sense from your readers, from your staff, from your – where are we on this?
00:21:40.620
My sense from the grassroots is that we need border security if we're going to spend another dime on Ukraine.
00:21:49.460
The House has passed the most conservative border bill, Steve, in H.R. 2.
00:21:54.460
And H.R. 2 is a precondition of Ukraine aid because the Biden administration, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell,
00:22:00.580
that – who has betrayed the Republicans at every turn,
00:22:04.120
says that Ukraine is the number one priority facing Americans.
00:22:06.780
Americans don't agree, and conservatives in the House are correct,
00:22:11.420
and conservatives in the Senate are correct to point that out and say,
00:22:14.700
listen, if your number one issue, Joe Biden, is Ukraine, our number one issue is border security.
00:22:20.560
So we're going to have to do some horse trading here.
00:22:22.860
And so Mike Johnson should let Ukraine funding just sit where it is if they're not going to give us border security over it.
00:22:30.400
If he decides that he's going to go forward with this repo package that he's going to put together,
00:22:36.200
I think it's going to be his last day as Speaker of the House,
00:22:39.660
just as Kevin McCarthy took a victory lap when he passed a continuing resolution back in October of last year.
00:22:46.700
But in winning that battle, at least a personal battle for his – it was a loss for the American people –
00:22:52.440
he ended up losing the war against conservatives in Congress who ousted him.
00:22:56.980
So Mike Johnson needs to think really critically about these moves because, as you know,
00:23:01.960
MTG's got a motion to vacate in the hopper, and she has laid out her terms quite clearly
00:23:06.900
that we're not going to move on this until we can actually deliver on the number one priority for our voters,
00:23:14.360
You believe, just like McCarthy pushed through the debt ceiling with the unlimited spending,
00:23:21.700
unlimited deficits for two years and pushed it past the 2024 election and lost his speakership
00:23:29.140
because of that, first time in the history of this country,
00:23:32.140
you believe that if Johnson continues to push this Ukraine situation,
00:23:36.280
that this is what will put his speakership in jeopardy and he will be removed?
00:23:40.220
I really do, and I think that's going to especially be the case if he can't convince Republicans
00:23:48.360
Maybe it gets him a little bit of flexibility in saying, hey, I didn't vote for this.
00:23:52.980
But if Mike Johnson, you know, whether it's through a discharge petition getting Ukraine funding out of the House
00:23:59.480
or it's through a bill of his own without border security, you know,
00:24:04.680
if he manages to get a package that has border security plus Ukraine funding,
00:24:07.960
then I think it might be a different conversation.
00:24:09.560
But I am not getting any indication that he's going to include border security in that.
00:24:15.000
And that has been a red line for conservatives for a long time.
00:24:18.440
And so you have these conservatives in the House mad about Ukraine funding.
00:24:22.680
They're incredibly mad about what happened with the appropriations process.
00:24:26.140
And they're incredibly mad about what could happen here in the next few days with regards to FISA.
00:24:31.520
Right now, as you know, there are CIA and FBI intel officers on the Hill briefing Republican and Democratic House members
00:24:46.200
If Mike Johnson decides to side with the intel community and decide with the deep state in Ukraine or on Ukraine funding,
00:25:00.860
It's unbelievably popular added warrant provisions for FISA.
00:25:05.660
Attach any Ukraine funding to border security provisions and let it sit if need be.
00:25:10.120
Right. A good negotiator is always willing to walk away from the table.
00:25:12.660
And Mike Johnson needs to be able to do just that.
00:25:17.900
Really wish we had you in Mike Johnson's office, sir.
00:25:21.080
Brad, where do people get you over to American Conservative?
00:25:35.120
So keep an eye on both of those as we as we follow FISA, we follow Ukraine funding and we follow anything else that could be lurking in the deep state at the moment.
00:25:48.740
This is going to be a big fight over the next couple of days.
00:25:51.620
I think his speakership's in jeopardy if he goes forward on either of these.
00:25:56.460
Joe Biden saying right now in the White House, hey, did somebody brief me?
00:25:59.240
I think I might have executive powers to seal the border and maybe next month I do it.
00:26:03.620
This is how radioactive the invasion has become.
00:26:06.500
Remember, they're trying to sell you on the invasion being absolutely essential for the American economy.
00:26:29.640
You know how the Pentagon's got pockets where they're moving pockets all the time.
00:26:33.760
Doesn't surprise you that, whoops, $14 billion.
00:26:40.100
You guys, the sovereignty coalitions, we're going to have something very important.
00:26:48.400
What's going on about the World Health Organization?
00:26:50.380
Steve, the most important thing to understand about what's going on with the World Health
00:26:55.960
Organization is that Joe Biden is stealthily planning in 47 days to surrender our sovereignty
00:27:05.840
to this outfit, run by a Maoist, picked for the job of director general of the World Health
00:27:13.540
Organization by, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party, which boasts that it's going to become
00:27:19.900
the leading edge under Tedros and under two, not one, but two new treaties.
00:27:25.360
And yes, they are treaties that are being cooked up to be approved at the end of May, as things
00:27:31.480
stand now, that will give Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director general, the authority to not only
00:27:39.520
dictate to us when we have a public health emergency of international concern, as he calls
00:27:51.540
I want to talk about this press conference with Senator Johnson.
00:28:08.540
Criminals have access to more advanced tools than ever, and now they're using them to steal
00:28:17.400
In Miami, an elderly woman didn't find out an empty plot of land she owned was stolen
00:28:25.940
A stranger had already paid them, and property records showed she had sold the land.
00:28:30.860
They had forged her signature and registered a fake deed.
00:28:35.640

We got great news on this transgender ideology.
00:29:53.120
We'll get to that at 11 o'clock with Sherwater and Petal McElvaney.
00:29:56.800
News coming out of England and I think out of California also.
00:30:05.260
The governor wants to go forward with a special session in Nebraska.
00:30:14.800
People tell me at that conference, it looks like people got in people's faces on Ukraine
00:30:20.960
I mean, this is, we're solidifying this minute by minute.
00:30:25.600
And so just hang with us, War Room Posse, because I think we got some, I think we got some
00:30:30.420
good news here, although we always have to be fighting 24 hours a day.
00:30:36.880
Look, we give you the macro, and I think we've done a pretty good job of giving you
00:30:42.340
The team of Brad and Navarro and EJ and Scott Bessent and Jason Trenard, I think they're
00:30:54.000
But go to Birchgold.com slash Bannon and talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:31:03.000
But it's about the trend, but you need to know all the mechanics of it.
00:31:06.080
And is it right for you and some of the details they have?
00:31:09.840
He's going to join me on, Philip's going to join me for the Saturday show.
00:31:14.000
Saturday, we're doing a special on coup d'etat.
00:31:17.700
We're taking, we got Jerome Corsi on JFK, that new blockbuster book.
00:31:22.400
We have Jeff Shepard, his amazing books about the takedown of Richard Nixon by the federal
00:31:29.360
Just absolutely puts a totally different look on what happened to President Nixon.
00:31:33.840
And Mike Davis is going to join us about President Trump because the coup d'etat right now on
00:31:37.640
the president of the United States, that would be Donald John Trump.
00:31:43.060
Plus, we're going to have Philip on here talking about how turbulence caused by the instability
00:31:49.680
of politics is one of the things that drives these capital markets, particularly looking
00:31:56.720
Also, make sure you go Ahern Hotel next Wednesdays for the Constitutional Sheriff's.
00:32:02.480
You have to go to their site to find out if you can get in for that.
00:32:06.220
We're going to do four hours of the show, plus a special in the afternoon on the machines
00:32:10.780
and on the Supreme Court filing that Mike Lindell and his team have done.
00:32:16.400
Everybody should, we're going to live stream it anyway.
00:32:18.860
But if you're in the area, go to the Constitutional Sheriff's site for their conference.
00:32:22.580
But on Thursday, we're going to have another gladiator school.
00:32:25.080
We're selling out quickly and given it's free and a free lunch and you get to hang with the
00:32:31.480
We're all going to be out there in the gladiator, part two of the gladiator school.
00:32:36.980
Why is this, why do Frank Gaffney and Steve Bannon not have their tinfoil hats on this
00:32:42.320
Why is this really a taking, a under the table taking of American side?
00:32:49.100
Why are you just not another kook and this is real and we got 47 days to stop it, sir?
00:32:58.280
It's what Xi Jinping has declared, that global governance is in our future.
00:33:05.000
And where it's going to be first initiated is with the World Health Organization under
00:33:15.440
And they're not going to call them treaties, Steve, because they don't want the Senate to
00:33:21.240
They're going to be approved if these guys have their way.
00:33:28.740
The European Union, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, all of them want this done at the end of May
00:33:34.540
so that they can begin dictating to us what our public health policies will be.
00:33:40.880
If Tedros Ghebreyesus says, for example, under this new arrangement, that's the director general
00:33:45.840
of the WHO, that, oh, climate change is a public health emergency of international concern or
00:33:52.340
migration or reproductive rights or transgender issues, you're going to be talking about that,
00:33:58.860
then it's a public health emergency of international concern.
00:34:01.840
And get this, he's then authorized under these two agreements to tell us what to do about them.
00:34:12.280
Hey, Frank, correct me if I'm wrong, this whole thing of disease X, they're actually saying out there
00:34:19.500
it's going to happen, in fact, we've given a category to it called disease X.
00:34:25.840
And this was also the guy, remember, that on January 12th and 13th of 2020 came out and specifically said
00:34:31.860
the Wuhan virus could not be, no human transmission, no community transmission,
00:34:39.080
that was all a lie, the CCP had this under control.
00:34:52.380
Under these deals, he personally gets to tell us all these things.
00:34:57.160
Back in the pandemic, this guy, Tedros Cabrasis, lied to us, lied to Donald Trump, lied to the
00:35:04.360
American people, lied to the world. And get this, as a result of his lies, as a result of his
00:35:10.380
specifically towing the Chinese Communist Party line. And why did he do that? Because they got
00:35:16.620
him the gig. They got him the job, the CCP. This guy does what he's told by Beijing. And one he was
00:35:23.860
told was, you need to adopt the China model. What was the China model? The China model was mask
00:35:29.940
mandates. It was quarantines. It was lockdowns. It was jabs with inadequately tested so-called
00:35:38.160
vaccines. All of that. And guess what happened? You've been chronicling it better than anybody
00:35:43.420
from the inception of this program. What happened was, according to Dr. Robert Malone,
00:35:49.640
probably about a million Americans needlessly died because the China model was used instead of the
00:35:57.160
pandemic response that Steve Hatfield and others have put into place that would have saved their
00:36:02.920
lives. And now it's just unimaginable. But this is the bottom line, folks. They're going to reward
00:36:09.040
Tedros Cabrasis by giving him dictatorial powers. He previously just gave us bad advice, but now he's
00:36:15.280
going to give us bad dictates. And we're having a press conference today on Capitol Hill for the purpose
00:36:21.800
of saying, not now. We're not going to agree to these two treaties that nobody's seen. They're going
00:36:29.880
to just blow them through. I call it the Pelosi rule. You'll know what's in it after they pass it.
00:36:34.180
No, we're not going to do that. And not only that, we're not going to settle for the United States Senate
00:36:39.400
just giving this a whole thing amiss. They have to do their job, which under our Constitution is quality
00:36:46.520
control on bad treaties that would steal our sovereignty, diminish, if not eviscerate our
00:36:54.280
state's rights, because health policy is actually a state prerogative, not a federal enumerated power.
00:37:00.540
And most especially, folks, for every single one of you, especially if you had an unpleasant time of
00:37:06.020
it in the pandemic, they're going to take away your personal medical freedom. I'm fond of saying,
00:37:10.880
meet your new doctor. He's Dr. Tedros Cabrasis. And if you don't happen to cotton to that idea,
00:37:17.520
or him telling your doctor what they can tell you about your medical condition or how you can best
00:37:22.260
be treated, you need to join us at SovereigntyCoalition.org. There's an Illiniac initiative
00:37:29.260
there you can go to right now. Tell President Biden, not now. We're not going to settle for these
00:37:37.120
bad treaties. We're not going to have the Senate take a pass on it. We're going to get engaged.
00:37:43.820
And we've got 47 days to turn this around. And basically what I think needs to be done here is
00:37:49.620
to make Joe Biden own this. If he wants to diminish your sovereignty, if he wants to turn this whole
00:37:56.940
thing over to Tedros Cabrasis, an unaccountable Marxist foreign bureaucrat, then let him do so.
00:38:04.960
And let Donald Trump come out and tell us why he got us out of the World Health Organization,
00:38:09.460
or tried to initially, why he's going to do it if he gets back into office. But more to the point,
00:38:13.900
why he is not going to let them do this to us by making this a campaign issue, a defining
00:38:20.480
campaign issue at that. And I believe he will get a mandate, an overwhelming mandate for the
00:38:26.140
American people for standing for our liberties, our freedoms, and our sovereignty. Praise God.
00:38:32.200
Frank, Frank, one more time. Where do we go? It's a 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. You're at the
00:38:39.640
sticks, I think, outside the Capitol. We're going to try to live stream if we can. But where do people
00:38:45.740
go if they're in the area, if they want to see this? Senator Ron Johnson and Congressman Bob Good,
00:38:53.100
the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, are going to be our leaders on the congressional side.
00:38:58.180
We're going to have six leaders on the conservative movement side, headlined by Ken Blackwell,
00:39:04.520
who actually had experience as a U.N. ambassador in Geneva. So he knows exactly where these guys are
00:39:11.700
coming from and where they want to take us. We believe it'll be at the triangle on the House
00:39:16.720
side of Capitol Hill. And what we certainly will be doing is we will live stream it and we will make
00:39:21.700
it available afterwards at SovereigntyCoalition.org. And I encourage everybody to go there to make
00:39:26.920
sure you can play your role. Go to the ALIGN Act. Tell them not now. Not ever, as far as I'm
00:39:33.700
concerned, but certainly not now. This is one of the great things I always envisioned out of the
00:39:39.200
Committee on the Present Danger. You would have these things like Sovereignty Coalition that would
00:39:42.600
come together for these specific issues. It's amazing. Frank, real quickly, your social media show,
00:39:48.600
everything. How do people get you, the book, the indictment? Yeah, the show is right here on Real
00:39:53.220
America's Voice. It is securing America. We are very appreciative of the chance to share this network,
00:40:01.580
Steve, when you're not using it, among others. We also have the Committee on the Present Danger
00:40:06.880
China, presentdangerchina.org. And this is all about China, believe me. In fact, we did. You're going to be
00:40:12.540
talking more about transgenders. I know we did a fantastic webinar last week on Transgender Easter.
00:40:18.600
You need to check that out. Secure Freedom is the minute. Please sign up at securingamerica
00:40:29.980
It's amazing. Frank, great work. Looks forward to seeing you guys at 2 o'clock. Bob Good,
00:40:33.780
there's a programming announcing Congressman Bob Good. We anticipate we're slotted in. He's going
00:40:38.600
to join us at the top of the show at 5 p.m. to talk about this press conference, to talk about
00:40:42.620
this WHO, stopping this treaty, and also stopping the Ukraine funding. Talking about that, we've got
00:40:49.020
our own Ben Harnwell. Ben's been joining us a lot in the 6 o'clock show. I wanted to have him come on
00:40:54.000
the morning show this morning because, Ben, I want to make sure everybody understands, and you brought up
00:40:59.600
something with your steel trap memory. It was about a year ago today, and I think it was on the show,
00:41:06.680
the great Monica Crowley, told us the lion and hiding. What was her tweet? It was 200. She said
00:41:14.240
it was $200 billion at the time, correct, about what's really gone into Ukraine when you really
00:41:19.620
added up from all the different agencies, right?
00:41:22.600
That's right, Steve. I wonder if Denver are able to put this up as I'm talking. It's almost
00:41:27.340
a year ago to the day, Steve, and she said that $200 billion plus, thanks, Denver,
00:41:33.460
of your hard-earned money has been disappeared into the corrupt money pit of Ukraine. So the figure
00:41:39.420
is flexible. Not flexible. It depends really on how you define it and how you calculate it,
00:41:44.180
what you put into it, what you take out of it. But that figure, Steve, that was a year ago.
00:41:50.480
So, you know, who knows how eye-wateringly high the real, the true figure is, given that the
00:41:57.440
Pentagon itself just sort of suddenly discovers it has five or six, seven billion unaccounted for
00:42:03.240
due to dodgy accounting, that they can just sort of send on, avoiding all the, well, whatever
00:42:09.880
scrutiny there is, they can circumvent that by just sort of dodgily finding extra money on the
00:42:19.540
Ben, just hang on for a second. You're going to stick with me. And the reason is they're having
00:42:23.580
a huge, or they just broke, I think, of the Republican conference. We don't even know if
00:42:27.940
this is going to get brought to the floor. It can't get brought to the floor unless Democrats
00:42:31.040
actually push this thing. That's why Johnson's, there's now a majority of the majority, I believe,
00:42:36.780
and a pretty solid majority says, we're not doing this anymore. We just got back from two weeks.
00:42:40.580
Our constituents are 100 percent. They'll march on Washington with this deficit driving these,
00:42:46.300
this inflation. If you push another 60 billion to those oligarchs over there, we can't defend it.
00:42:52.180
And Ben is about to give you something quite eye-opening that's in the mainstream media over
00:42:57.040
in Europe. It's actually, I think, at The Guardian now also. We're funding Nazis. I don't mean kind
00:43:03.660
of Nazis. I mean, like, real Nazis. Guys that have said they're, like, more Nazis, they're more
00:43:08.000
authoritarian than Putin. So we're going to be back in a moment of that. We've gotten tremendous,
00:43:13.040
tremendous feedback on sacred human health. You go to sacredhumanhealth.com. You see the incredible
00:43:19.760
feedback we're getting as an energy boost from the grass-fed beef livers. And this all comes
00:43:25.780
from folks in the war room posse that have tried this. So I want to make sure you go check it out
00:43:29.860
today. Just go to the site, sacredhumanhealth.com. Immerse yourself in the information, but particularly
00:43:35.220
see all the great feedback we're getting from the war room audience about this kind of an energy boost.
00:43:41.220
Short commercial break. Back in the warm in a moment.
00:43:43.580
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:43:48.880
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:52.860
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:43:58.940
tracking our movement across the internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial
00:44:04.480
newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming
00:44:10.060
event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests
00:44:16.580
I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every
00:44:21.900
move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even
00:44:28.360
vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this
00:44:35.060
will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and
00:44:41.240
friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect
00:44:46.940
yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored
00:44:55.060
like I've been in the past. Go to RickardsWarRoom.com. That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:45:02.520
So how do we stay on top of things with this kind of high intensity war room production? By the way, I want to
00:45:14.060
thank Rob Sig and Parker, our channel, our distribution partners and the guys that help us produce this at
00:45:21.620
Real America's Voice. Just a fantastic team and thanks for all the work and we can turn on a dime here. Got a lot going on
00:45:28.860
this morning, this afternoon, specials, everything happening. The Energy, Warpath Coffee. Yes, yes, yes.
00:45:35.900
I'm a coffee aficionado. Warpath Coffee, the Dark Roast. We worked for, I don't know, almost two years
00:45:41.480
with Tej Gill and the team about the Dark Roast. Take the acid out, so try it, the Mariner's Blend, but
00:45:47.600
all the feedback is on the mild blends, the breakfast blends, the combo blends, all of it. We put out
00:45:55.280
all kind of, you know, seasonal flavorings. Just check it all out. Warpath.coffee.com. You get the
00:46:02.480
15% discount, so put the war room in there. Get it cheaper. Also, once again, the beef lovers, I'm so
00:46:09.960
ecstatic about the feedback we've gotten from the audience about how it's impacted them and
00:46:17.520
particularly on the energy side, the boost. It's grass-fed beef liver, and you know that
00:46:22.180
is the greatest concentration of nutrients known to man or the animal kingdom. So go check it out
00:46:27.820
today. Just go to the site. We just send you to the site. You get your free men and women. You make
00:46:31.800
your own mind up, but I think when you see the feedback from the war room audience, you'll check
00:46:37.000
it out. Ben Harnwell. A couple things I want to talk. There's two things about personnel. Number one,
00:46:44.220
Bloomberg's got a new story. Don't have a lot of new information or no new information you want to
00:46:47.800
get from the war room. But one of the central things here is not the money, and Europe's also
00:46:51.800
got the money. They don't need our money. They got plenty of money in Europe. You know that. Everybody
00:46:55.600
knows that. They know that. It's about personnel. They need at least 500,000, I think a million.
00:47:02.880
And the average age of the Ukrainians, and they're fighting like World War I, right, in the trenches,
00:47:07.460
on the Western front. This happens to be on the Eastern Russian-speaking front that may actually
00:47:13.260
end up collapsing because they don't have personnel, and they need 500,000. I think they
00:47:17.360
need a million. They're trying to pass some bill to draft it, but the draft's not going
00:47:21.480
to work because the parents are hiding them. On the same time, one of their big allies that
00:47:26.300
are supplying troops is something that, you know, Poso and guys talk about the Azov Battalion
00:47:32.280
very hard, and man, Joy Ann Reid and MSNBC, this is Russian information. This is Russian
00:47:36.960
disinformation. You're nothing but Russian propagandists. Hello. I think it was the Guardian
00:47:42.600
we're funding. Your tax dollars are funding not kind of Nazis. You're funding Nazi Nazis,
00:47:49.720
guys that say Putin. These are Russian Nazis that think Putin is too wimpy as a nationalist,
00:47:55.820
and they want to basically defeat Putin and then eventually, I guess, take over Russia and turn it
00:48:01.280
even to a more dictatorial power. That is what you're funding. Ben Harnwell, back it up there with
00:48:07.780
some empirical evidence, sir. So we'll hit the Bloomberg article first. This is just up in the
00:48:14.420
last couple of hours. You've got to just scroll, folks, all the way down to the bottom of the
00:48:18.700
article, all the way down. Yammer's on about how Zelensky's been sitting on this bill for a year to
00:48:24.220
reduce the conscription age from 27 to 25. He signed it like a week or so ago. Scroll all the way down,
00:48:31.320
right? And it says there that the Prime Minister, Dennis Schmeigel, told Bloomberg that the initial
00:48:37.360
military request to draft as many as 500,000 troops wasn't necessary anymore. They won't say
00:48:44.960
what the new figure is, but all the hoo-ha about the 500,000 that has been ditched, dropped. But all
00:48:52.840
is not over. Hold it. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. It's been
00:48:59.720
ditched. And the number's been taken down because they can't get that number. They, it's a, the two
00:49:05.320
generals that got cashiered, the two beloved generals, field officers that got cashiered, got
00:49:10.440
cashiered because they told Zelensky, hey, it's not money and weapons. We need bodies. And again,
00:49:15.380
there was a huge fight. It was almost a coup over there because of this, a huge fight. The reason they
00:49:20.220
keep lessening the number and don't want to talk about it is they can't get really any troops.
00:49:25.560
There's nobody volunteering. And particularly the parents of young men are saying, hey, how about
00:49:30.720
this? Not my son. Because they understand it's a charnel house and they're dying for no reason.
00:49:37.560
Like Professor Mersheimer told them, I don't know, 10 years ago, but updated the beginning of the war.
00:49:42.940
Ben Harnwell. Yeah, there was nearly a coup. The angel of death herself, Victoria Nuland,
00:49:49.520
had to fly in at basically an hour's notice to stop the army taking control. We covered this in real
00:49:56.040
time. All is not lost, however, Steve, from the Ukrainian point of view, because they are swelling
00:50:01.340
their ranks to some extent. And in exactly the same way that Putin was relying on, on the Wagner troops,
00:50:08.620
then the mercenaries basically pay to play. You know, you pay the, the rubles and they come in and,
00:50:14.480
and they fight for you. Ukraine is doing the same thing. Only it's, uh, mercenaries aren't
00:50:20.600
mercenaries for cash. They're mercenaries for ideology. It is Politico. Um, that's remember,
00:50:25.560
this is the only article I've seen, um, in the English speaking press on this and it breaks
00:50:30.080
it down. Um, who are these people? Who are these sort of mercenaries coming in to fight for Ukraine
00:50:37.000
against Russia? Um, these are Nazis, neo-Nazis. Um, they're that Nazi, the guy here that they're
00:50:46.100
specifically talking about, Kapustin, um, has his own website selling Nazi-themed merchandise,
00:50:54.700
you know, or, or the, the t-shirts and the caps emblazoned with white nationalist xenophobic
00:51:00.100
imagery. This is what the mainstream media wanted you to think was happening at Charlottesville,
00:51:04.580
right? These are, these are the real guys and they're now fighting for Ukraine against,
00:51:10.000
um, against Putin. However, Steve, it gets worse than that from our perspective because
00:51:16.220
these are Russians, these are ethnic Russians, Russian citizens, citizens fighting for Ukraine
00:51:22.380
against Putin, right? And you've got to ask yourself, why would they be doing this? It's
00:51:29.520
all here in the article. Politico, the mainstream media breaks it down for us. Approvingly, it's
00:51:34.220
not a condemnation of this. It's approvingly. It's because these people, these Nazis say
00:51:40.400
that Putin isn't not, isn't nationalist enough for them. That is their motivation. And from
00:51:46.640
the Ukrainian perspective, our enemy's enemy is our friend. So these guys have been co-opted
00:51:51.260
in and they're in, in, in, in direct contact with Budinov, who's the head of the Ukrainian,
00:51:56.460
um, secret intelligence service. And it's all there. Um, in fact, the most bizarre part of
00:52:02.120
this, Steve, I'll quickly do this before we hit, hit the break is that there's a, he's
00:52:06.180
asking the journalists, this, this Nazi saying, I can't understand. You're going to be unbiased
00:52:10.520
when you write this up because for years you've been shitting on us and now we're supposed to
00:52:14.440
be the good guys. Um, and of course he, his sense of being an Alice in Wonderland is absolutely
00:52:20.540
correct. But that is exactly how the mainstream media now are portraying these real genuine
00:52:26.720
neo-Nazis. These are the good guys. Why? Because they're fighting Putin.
00:52:33.120
Hang on for one second. We're going to take a short commercial break. Make sure, by the way,
00:52:37.240
