Bannon's War Room - Episode 3545： Johnson Caves To Democrats

00:00:00.000 I proposed different paths for the speaker that would have avoided the abject surrender represented by his strategic choice here.

00:00:08.640 There's no other way to describe it. It's surrender. It's disappointing. I won't support it.

00:00:13.460 It's disappointing. It's completely detached from what our base wants, what our voters want.

00:00:19.440 The strategy is not to try. I think the strategy is to fall on a sword.

00:00:24.720 So when I asked Congressman Chip Roy about whether or not it was time for him to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership,

00:00:34.180 he said that he went right up to the line, Dana, and didn't go across that line,

00:00:39.820 perhaps because he needs to talk with the speaker, which is happening right now.

00:00:43.700 Now, the question is, will the numbers add up to oust him from the speakership?

00:00:47.360 Because Democrats, as you mentioned, could step in to save him because of what he's doing here on Ukraine.

00:00:53.920 So this is a different situation than the fall when McCarthy was ousted from the speakership.

00:00:58.500 But no doubt about it, Mike Johnson opening up a revolt on the far right with his conference, with his move here.

00:01:04.820 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we just saw it just right there, what you played for us.

00:01:08.600 Manu, thanks so much. Always great to have you on.

00:01:11.480 OK, we'll watch that. We see Senator Schumer at the podium right now, still silence in the room.

00:01:16.720 Patty Murray is being handed some documents.

00:01:19.100 A moment ago, you saw a bald gentleman go back and forth in the well.

00:01:24.120 I don't believe it's not this guy. Maybe it is.

00:01:26.940 That is the secretary for the majority, Gary Myrick, talking to the majority leader.

00:01:31.600 Let me listen to, let us listen to Patty Murray.

00:01:34.080 The point of order is well taken and the article false.

00:01:36.960 Madam President.

00:01:38.200 Majority leader is recognized.

00:01:39.560 I raise a point of order that impeachment article two does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor as required under article two, section four of the United States Constitution and is therefore unconstitutional.

00:01:56.540 Madam President.

00:01:57.220 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:02:05.880 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.

00:02:11.100 I got a free shot.

00:02:12.360 All these networks lying about the people.

00:02:15.360 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:02:17.360 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:02:18.780 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:02:21.400 It's going to happen.

00:02:22.680 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:02:25.360 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:02:32.860 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:02:36.600 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:02:42.960 War Room.

00:02:43.800 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:02:52.520 Welcome to the War Room.

00:02:53.660 It's Natalie G. Winter's hosting, filling in for Stephen K. Bannon today, Wednesday, April 17th.

00:02:59.840 In the year of our Lord, 2024, in the words of CNN, House in Revolt.

00:03:05.560 If only, if only we could actually have a revolution and overthrow Speaker Johnson.

00:03:10.920 I don't know.

00:03:11.300 Sign me up.

00:03:12.020 Sign Steve up.

00:03:12.720 Sign the War Room Posse up for that.

00:03:14.580 The best we can get is just, what is it, another $100 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific.

00:03:19.660 And, oh, by the way, just to make sure, in case you didn't think your elites, your so-called betters hate you,

00:03:25.980 they made sure to throw in $300 million for border patrol in Ukraine, not in the United States.

00:03:33.820 I think that's just to rub salt in the wound, to stick it to you, to stick it to the families, people like Lake and Riley,

00:03:40.280 and all of these Americans who have been killed at the hands of illegal aliens.

00:03:44.000 Frankly, when Chuck Schumer stands up there and says he doesn't think it's a high crime and misdemeanor what Mayorkas has done at the southern border, 0.50

00:03:51.600 I think that right there is the quiet part out loud.

00:03:54.380 They don't think he's done anything wrong because they don't believe in the sovereignty of this country,

00:03:58.360 and frankly, they don't believe in borders or walls.

00:04:00.280 They don't even think walls work.

00:04:01.460 So it's no wonder why they don't want to have a trial in the Senate.

00:04:04.180 They also probably don't want to have all the millions of taxpayer dollars,

00:04:07.220 hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that have been flowing to NGOs, shady government organizations,

00:04:11.860 probably the Mexican government, and probably the cartels in the Chinese Communist Party

00:04:15.360 that are helping this wide-open southern border have a massive invasion and influx,

00:04:19.740 not just of military fighting-age men, but fentanyl, too, while you're at it, right?

00:04:24.320 Well, I believe we have Kurt Mills to join us to break this all down.

00:04:28.780 I know we had had you scheduled, and as the hours got closer and closer to the show,

00:04:32.640 there just became more and more things that we had to cover, of course,

00:04:36.440 the, I think, latest or biggest news that we have since this morning's show.

00:04:40.380 So we've got a new aid package.

00:04:42.220 Speaker Johnson is really doubling down on it.

00:04:44.600 Of course, this has caused a bit of a rift. 0.89

00:04:46.980 In the conference, if you want to sort of walk us through just the asinine nature

00:04:50.940 of this new $100 billion, like I said in the beginning,

00:04:54.820 for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific, that's how they're couching it.

00:04:59.520 Look, at court, this is the most important function of the federal government.

00:05:04.040 This is something that the U.S. government can do.

00:05:06.440 As a military, it can wield it or it can choose not to wield it.

00:05:09.560 And from my perspective as editor of a conservative magazine,

00:05:13.800 our position has been it's just really no point in having a conservative speaker of the House

00:05:17.940 if you're going to pass out this massive aid package for a war that is lost in Eurasia,

00:05:25.000 a war that is clearly being won in the Middle East,

00:05:29.080 and for a potential coalition partner in the Indo-Pacific that is not being as military applications.

00:05:35.640 This makes no sense.

00:05:36.660 It's very clear that the American people should have a referendum on this subject in the November

00:05:41.980 elections, and Speaker Johnson should call Congress closed for business on the matter.

00:05:48.380 I'm curious.

00:05:49.440 I think you probably saw, and I'm sure the Warren posse has their heads, their pants,

00:05:53.780 everything on fire over the nerve of Mike McCall.

00:05:57.320 I would say the swamp epitomized someone who, what was it, peddled the Russia collusion hoax,

00:06:01.940 but sure, lecture us on a foreign interference.

00:06:04.940 He went after Senator J.D. Vance for daring to criticize the, what is it, the Repo Act,

00:06:11.380 basically saying that we shouldn't tie President Trump's hands over what he can do in Ukraine

00:06:16.580 and more broadly Europe by pushing deals that basically do just that, right,

00:06:22.220 that sort of neuter and nullify his power. 0.63

00:06:25.000 However, as the president, of course, the policies, as you were saying, the ideologies behind them,

00:06:29.820 they don't work.

00:06:30.480 This is a war that they're never going to win.

00:06:31.920 We're just sending Ukrainian men who, what is it, average age, like 45, to die in Russian fire.

00:06:39.040 But what are your thoughts on the voices like Mike McCall, who are just like a beating drum,

00:06:46.960 will not let it go, will not stop with this incessant Ukraine? 0.96

00:06:50.920 Is it defense contracting?

00:06:53.200 Is it the lobbyists?

00:06:54.300 What is the issue that is propelling these people to not give up on the Ukraine fight?

00:07:00.440 I think the critical, without going into the motivations particularly,

00:07:03.540 I think the critical element here is essentially attention.

00:07:06.180 I understand that the presidential race and even some of these big Senate races get all the attention,

00:07:10.860 and this is something that I would urge your viewers, the war room posse,

00:07:14.740 to take a little bit more of a look at.

00:07:17.960 Beneath the speakership, beneath the presidency, beneath the marquee Senate races,

00:07:23.140 there are all these committee chairmen that you've never heard of.

00:07:26.040 And I would challenge most people in the country have not heard of Mr. McCall.

00:07:31.200 But this is one of the most influential people in the country as chairman of this committee.

00:07:36.180 And the reality is, until there is a grander, more fights like this, a grander question,

00:07:43.600 a grander narrative about why people like this can't wield authority,

00:07:46.860 you're going to see a default to the type of thinking that has triumphed in this city since 2003,

00:07:52.320 at minimum, if not longer.

00:07:53.480 And it has only ruination and an appreciation of American power,

00:08:00.160 the depreciation of American power to show for it.

00:08:03.680 And can you sort of extrapolate this on the Israeli front and even the Indo-Pacific front,

00:08:08.360 of course, they put this in.

00:08:09.420 And I believe they also concurrently introduced a border security measure.

00:08:13.900 But just how they're sort of playing games with these priorities,

00:08:17.120 kind of, I always call it red meat for the base,

00:08:19.920 but trying to string us along with these little shiny toys, as Steve always says.

00:08:23.800 But walk us through the Israel side of this package as well.

00:08:27.940 Yeah, I mean, the Israel thing is very confusing.

00:08:29.640 And I think even among the ranks of conservatives, there's this agreement.

00:08:33.940 Conservative skepticals of foreign wars are divided on the Israel quotient to it.

00:08:39.320 From my perspective, I think it's pretty simple.

00:08:42.700 Why do we need a military aid package for a war that's not going to change out in Eastern Europe?

00:08:49.320 And why do we need a military aid package for a war that the Israelis are already winning? 0.92

00:08:53.940 The controversy over the war in the Middle East is not whether or not Israel is going to deal with Hamas.

00:09:00.200 It's whether or not they're dealing with them too brutally.

00:09:03.300 And so at the same time that that's the question,

00:09:05.140 our solution is to throw them military technology that they don't need.

00:09:08.940 I mean, actually, the Ukrainians do need it.

00:09:11.840 It's just that our perpetration of the war is going to be bad for the Ukrainian people and for humanity, quite frankly.

00:09:19.660 And on Taiwan, since you asked specifically,

00:09:23.180 if Taiwan is not willing to meet its own defense needs,

00:09:27.480 it's not clear why the U.S. should throw an expenditure this way

00:09:32.200 that is merely provocative to the Chinese and invites this invasion sooner.

00:09:36.340 If the Taiwanese meet the defense needs, I think we can have a conversation then.

00:09:43.860 Well, sorry, I was having some audio difficulties.

00:09:47.020 But when you say, you know, you don't want to necessarily get into

00:09:51.240 what is the driving factors behind a lot of these politicians,

00:09:54.780 I mean, I think the war room posse is fairly familiar with people like Mike McCaul.

00:09:57.860 I know Steve is always lighting them up.

00:10:01.440 But I'm just curious in the sense that, you know, whether it's Israel, whether it's Taiwan,

00:10:07.380 whether it's, you know, insert the country,

00:10:09.980 the ability to put America first is just lost on members of Congress.

00:10:14.520 And, of course, you have the rank and file members.

00:10:16.560 You have a few people, right, like the Matt Gaetzes of the world,

00:10:18.860 who are willing to actually do that.

00:10:20.140 They've said they will challenge and primary those who vote for additional Ukraine spending.

00:10:25.240 But you run American Conservative.

00:10:27.320 I'm just curious, could you drill down a little bit on what you think

00:10:30.500 are sort of the motivating factors behind why these people just refuse to put America first?

00:10:35.840 I know that's sort of a cliché, dumbed-down way of saying it.

00:10:39.260 But what creates Mike McCaul?

00:10:42.740 Is he a feature of the system?

00:10:44.180 Is he a bug of the system?

00:10:45.480 Why are there so many people like him?

00:10:46.900 And why does it seem so hard to find actual America first conservatives

00:10:50.660 who are willing to fight for the issues

00:10:52.600 and do the things they were actually elected to do?

00:10:55.240 Yeah, sure.

00:10:56.420 I'm happy to comment on the structural things.

00:10:58.200 I didn't mean to dodge your question, Natalie.

00:10:59.560 I just think the reality—

00:11:01.180 Now you're good.

00:11:02.560 Take someone more famous, Mr. Johnson.

00:11:05.340 The reality is if he dies, if he falls on his sword, so to speak here,

00:11:10.260 if his speakership dies, and he will have done it on the Ukraine issue,

00:11:14.500 the likelihood of corporate board seats in Fortune 500 companies

00:11:18.180 and defense contractors that ring Northern Virginia,

00:11:20.320 offering him slots, i.e. the Nikki Haley option, is just way higher.

00:11:26.640 So, yes, I think there have to be renumerative considerations.

00:11:30.520 Now, I'm not arguing that money is exchanging hands now,

00:11:33.780 but there's no effective legislation or controls on people making policy decisions

00:11:39.860 based on things in the future.

00:11:41.660 And I don't really know what the check on it would be.

00:11:45.240 You could create a five-year lobbying ban, a one-year lobbying ban, a 10-year lobbying ban.

00:11:49.720 I think you always find loopholes here, and that's why it's important for a democracy

00:11:53.780 for people to hold the leaders to account.

00:11:57.040 That's the swiftest failsafe.

00:11:58.720 But in terms of, you know, foreign theaters and certain members, frankly,

00:12:03.780 lost to get involved in them, I do think there's something almost psychological going on

00:12:08.440 where they get to have these sort of nationalist impulses for a foreign country

00:12:13.480 where they're afraid to show that, you know, impulse here at home,

00:12:19.820 which is a shame considering, I mean, the country is actually suffering

00:12:23.320 what could be termed an invasion on the southern border.

00:12:25.560 So in your estimation, obviously, you follow this stuff quite closely.

00:12:30.560 The American conservative is always ahead of the curve.

00:12:34.040 How do you think this is going to shake out, particularly on the Speaker Johnson front?

00:12:37.520 Do you think we're going to see the motion to vacate?

00:12:39.600 We know Tom Emmer's already sort of potentially putting his hat in the ring.

00:12:43.000 Just again, hypothetically, how do you think it'll shake out?

00:12:47.360 Yeah, I mean, I don't see how this passes and Speaker Johnson survives

00:12:52.700 without at least a few Democratic votes.

00:12:55.040 And if he takes Democratic votes, then his speakership will be terminal after the election.

00:13:00.620 I think it would be a sad statement, a sad coda, frankly, on his career

00:13:06.740 as a conservative and Republican lawmaker and activist

00:13:08.980 to accept Democratic support to maintain his speakership.

00:13:12.820 So it's possible he resigns.

00:13:15.340 I mean, it does feel like everyone's sort of fatigued and wants to have this election,

00:13:19.700 and so potentially his chances of survival are higher than McCarthy's were in autumn.

00:13:25.280 But I don't think they're certain by any stretch of the imagination.

00:13:29.120 And I don't think—I mean, there are 220-odd Republican lawmakers,

00:13:35.420 and the speakership itself is famously not closed to almost any American.

00:13:40.960 I mean, we can't find somebody who can keep this conference together. 0.98

00:13:44.380 It would be quite pathetic. 0.96

00:13:47.320 And, Kurt, we've got to let you go. 0.90

00:13:49.420 But if people want to follow you and get American Conservative,

00:13:52.700 where can they go to do all that and support the magazine?

00:13:55.920 Sure.

00:13:56.640 www.theamericanconservative.com.

00:13:58.840 You can read my tweets at Kurt Mills, C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S.

00:14:02.540 We have a new issue out all about Ohio, some of the names, Vivek Ramaswamy, J.D. Vance,

00:14:08.840 people at the leading edge of opposing this stuff.

00:14:11.420 So please give us your consideration.

00:14:14.820 You guys do great work.

00:14:16.260 Kurt, thank you so much for joining us.

00:14:20.900 Warren Posse, we've got a packed show.

00:14:23.400 We're going to open the next block with, I guess, what your future could look like

00:14:27.440 if Joe Biden wins again, if they're—sorry, steals it again.

00:14:31.580 It's an audio recording that John Eastman received from Bank of America

00:14:36.060 in live, I guess, real time, getting debanked by Bank of America

00:14:41.420 for, you guessed it, daring to support President Donald J. Trump,

00:14:45.480 daring to put America first.

00:14:47.080 You've seen the fate that similar patriots have suffered.

00:14:49.580 I don't need to look too far just to Miami.

00:14:52.120 Peter Navarro, a good example.

00:14:53.960 Warren Posse, we'll be playing that right after this short 90-second break.

00:14:57.660 Don't go anywhere.

00:15:01.580 Hey, folks, if you watch War Room, you know we talk every day about the geopolitical

00:15:05.600 and other forces driving the price of gold.

00:15:07.600 There are actually a couple of reasons this is happening.

00:15:10.960 Let me walk through them.

00:15:12.120 The cost of goods continues to rise despite interest rate controls by the Fed.

00:15:17.220 Since January 2021, cost of living is up 18%.

00:15:21.580 The national debt continues to skyrocket, now significantly north of $34 trillion,

00:15:28.820 causing many to worry when the House of Cards will come crashing down.

00:15:33.520 And a presidential election year that will have massive implications on the future of this country.

00:15:39.720 All this adds up to instability and uncertainty.

00:15:43.720 And that is why so many Americans are turning to Birch Gold Group.

00:15:47.180 Have you diversified your savings yet?

00:15:49.560 Secure a portion of them with gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:15:53.560 Secure a portion of your savings now with gold and do it from Birch Gold.

00:16:36.120 Take action, action, action, Birch Gold Group.

00:16:40.560 Text Bannon at 989898.

00:16:43.920 If you have recently received a letter stating your account or accounts are being closed,

00:16:49.760 the reason for this is that Bank of America made a business decision to close the account

00:16:54.940 and or we have determined you're operating in a business type we have chosen not to service

00:17:00.200 at Bank of America.

00:17:02.080 It is a Bank of America policy that we do not provide any additional information regarding

00:17:07.320 our decision to close an account and the decision to close the account will not be reconsidered.

00:17:12.600 That should be a campaign ad maybe for Joe Biden or any of the World Economic Forum, UN, WHO,

00:17:20.680 global elites who want to use social credit scores styled after, of course, the Biden family

00:17:26.520 business partner, the Chinese Communist Party.

00:17:29.120 I actually think it was Hunter Biden who was invested in one of the companies who was involved

00:17:33.540 in that space because, of course.

00:17:35.700 Joining me now to break down that call and so much more is the reporter from The Daily

00:17:41.220 Call who actually broke it, Reagan Reese.

00:17:44.260 Reagan, thank you for joining us.

00:17:45.460 If you want to walk the audience through what they just heard, why it's so scary and, frankly,

00:17:50.960 why it might happen to them soon enough.

00:17:55.660 Yeah.

00:17:56.060 I mean, Natalie, this debanking trend, this appears to be the new front of Democratic law

00:18:01.580 fair.

00:18:01.940 So to break it down, John Eastman was first notified in September 2023 that his Bank of

00:18:09.140 America account was going to be closed and that they could not provide him any details

00:18:15.560 on why they were choosing to do so.

00:18:17.900 They said, if you want more details, feel free to give us a call.

00:18:21.860 When he goes to give them a call, there's that audio.

00:18:25.360 They say, actually, it's our policy that we can't tell you anything else.

00:18:29.520 And this was after he had been in business with Bank of America for about 40 years.

00:18:36.780 Well, two months later, USAA, you know, that company that's famously known for banking

00:18:43.200 with military families and insuring military families, also moves to close his accounts

00:18:49.220 without any details provided.

00:18:52.700 We went to Bank of America and USAA after we had attained the letters from John Eastman

00:18:58.700 confirming that his accounts had been closed without warning.

00:19:02.700 Bank of America, you know, initially said, hey, we're going to give you a comment by your

00:19:07.000 deadline.

00:19:07.660 We provided them two days to do so and to get back to us.

00:19:11.660 And then about an hour before my deadline, they got back to me and said, you know, actually,

00:19:16.500 we don't comment on client matters.

00:19:20.440 USAA never responded to me.

00:19:22.540 I followed up three times and, you know, I even followed up once more after my deadline

00:19:27.900 had passed to be like, hey, this is the last time I'm going to follow up.

00:19:31.140 Are you sure you don't want to provide any sort of comment?

00:19:34.040 And so that's where it stands.

00:19:35.600 John Eastman was about, you know, when I talked to him, 99 percent confident that this was political

00:19:41.840 retaliation after everything he's been through, after he, you know, provided legal advice to

00:19:47.860 President Trump in wake of the 2020 election, this was just another bump in the road for him

00:19:53.500 that he just saw as another way for the left to attack him.

00:19:59.040 I want to take a step back because I think you're right to make this story bigger, right,

00:20:03.200 than just John Eastman in the sense that this is what they want to do to the entire MAGA

00:20:07.920 movement, right?

00:20:08.440 They're not just going after President Trump.

00:20:09.920 They're going after, frankly, everyone.

00:20:11.900 But can you give us maybe some other high-profile stories of similar kind of debanking attacks,

00:20:17.800 lawfare attacks, as you have said, against other high-profile kind of MAGA movement members?

00:20:25.100 Yeah.

00:20:25.760 So I spoke to the Foundation of Government Accountability, and they told me that they have

00:20:31.040 seen this with a lot of Christian groups, actually, and Christian nonprofits who have been debanked

00:20:39.180 and haven't been given a reason. Bank of America, they pointed to, is actually known for kind of

00:20:44.980 doing this to Americans. They could just consistently pointed to Christian groups who this has happened

00:20:51.000 to. You know, it's dangerous because when Americans' bank accounts are closed without any reason,

00:20:59.180 and they lose access to their finances, and they're not able to feed their families or pay their bills,

00:21:05.960 and there might be just even the slightest indication, even if the bank maybe doesn't

00:21:10.540 provide a reason, but there's that thought in their mind that maybe this is political,

00:21:14.980 that has such a chilling effect, Natalie. Americans will become concerned that maybe they shouldn't

00:21:21.440 speak out about their beliefs, their faith, and who they are, out of risk that they might,

00:21:27.300 you know, lose their relationship with the bank.

00:21:29.800 And a lot of people don't have much of a choice to switch banks.

00:21:33.600 It might just be the bank that's the closest down the road. That might be Bank of America,

00:21:37.720 and you might be at risk.

00:21:41.120 Reagan, if people want to listen to the audio again, read more of your wonderful reporting,

00:21:46.680 I think we had you on the show. Most recently, you exposed the, I believe it was the NRCC,

00:21:52.200 with the same tenacity that you went after USAA and Bank of America. If people want to follow you

00:21:58.200 and stay up to date with your reporting, where can they go to do all that?

00:22:02.480 Well, Natalie, let me tell you, there's more reporting coming that I think you guys are going

00:22:06.200 to enjoy, but ReaganReese underscore at Twitter, and it's the same thing on Instagram,

00:22:12.240 and I'm the White House correspondent for the Daily Caller, dailycaller.com. We're doing some

00:22:17.260 great reporting, you know, giving you all the details on the political landscape today.

00:22:23.880 Reagan, thank you so much for joining us.

00:22:25.800 Thank you.

00:22:28.480 Now, you guys have heard a tale of two presidents when we juxtaposed President Trump meeting with

00:22:33.160 the family of the slain officer. Meanwhile, you got Joe Biden holding some hoity-toity fundraiser

00:22:39.280 in Wall Street with a bunch of, frankly, presidents who actually should be sitting and rotting in jail,

00:22:45.100 if not just for treason, but for a host of other crimes that we'll do a war room special on

00:22:49.480 one day. But I just want to draw a tale of two cities, or maybe another juxtaposition,

00:22:54.480 a tale of two leaders, President Trump and Zelensky. Now, Zelensky's not much of a leader,

00:23:00.160 but when you think about what is going on in the city of New York when it comes to the fine-toothed

00:23:05.280 comb and then some that they are going through President Trump's finances with, what they

00:23:09.460 could only really find was a marginal, what was it, tax accounting error, one little thing maybe.

00:23:15.000 Meanwhile, Zelensky's getting, what is it, hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars,

00:23:19.780 and they can't even conduct a meaningful audit of any of those dollars, any of those pennies,

00:23:25.780 one single cent? Remember, it was the White House just last year, I believe it was in October,

00:23:31.180 when they were fretting because Americans were daring to actually push back on their bogus

00:23:35.880 narratives about supporting the Ukraine war. Instead of doubling down and saying,

00:23:40.640 hey, we want to convince the American people that investing in what is going on in Ukraine

00:23:44.380 is worth it, democracy actually matters. You know what they did? The new spin was it wasn't

00:23:49.420 let's conduct meaningful audits. It was let's lie to the American people that the Ukraine war

00:23:55.100 is good for manufacturing jobs here at home, that it's good for made in America policies,

00:24:01.280 and that it's good for strengthening our industrial base. You know what's good for strengthening our

00:24:06.400 industrial base, Joe Biden? Banning the Chinese Communist Party from owning land and farmland here in

00:24:11.580 the United States. They speak out of both sides of their mouth to the point that even Speaker Mike

00:24:16.260 Johnson put out a tweet, what was it, two hours ago, slamming Senate Democrats for refusing to hold

00:24:22.720 a trial against Mayorkas. They said, you are supporting, you are co-signing Joe Biden's border

00:24:28.680 crisis. Well, newsflash, Mike Johnson, Joe Biden just signed off on your Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel aid

00:24:36.460 bill. So the same president who's comfortable destroying this country by allowing an invasion

00:24:41.920 at the southern border, if he's supporting your foreign policy, something tells me something is not

00:24:47.600 right there. That's not America first. That's not putting American citizens first. It's certainly not

00:24:52.580 putting America first, and it's certainly not putting American interests first. So Joe Biden endorsing

00:24:58.160 your Ukraine aid bill. Yeah, that means absolutely nothing. Steve told me I had to give Speaker Johnson

00:25:05.560 some fire since he couldn't be hosting today. So I try my best. Someone who, of course, is always

00:25:11.920 bringing the fire over an American moment is, of course, Saurabh Sharma. Although, from what I

00:25:17.700 understand, you guys are trying to bring the fire over there in Brussels, but the police forces don't

00:25:23.880 want you to, if I'm not mistaken. Can you watch? Actually, you know what? I believe we have a clip.

00:25:28.840 If Denver has it, let's play that. And then I want you to kind of walk us through what we just watched.

00:25:39.460 NatCon Brussels 2, under siege by Belgian police. We have had our conference going since this morning.

00:25:46.520 The first venue was canceled, was forced to cancel by leftist political pressure. The second venue,

00:25:52.240 20 hours before the event, pull out of a signed contract. Now we're in the third venue. The police

00:25:57.860 showed up with an order saying that we are creating a public disturbance. What we have here

00:26:02.940 is 400 people in a venue holding a conference. People are speaking about topics, political,

00:26:09.280 philosophical, historical. We have 50 of the leading conservative speakers from across Europe here,

00:26:14.860 all of them gathering prime ministers, foreign prime ministers, ministers, a cardinal.

00:26:22.240 Wild times. Talk about debanking, deplatforming. I feel like the progenitor of all that was the,

00:26:35.360 you know, conservatives getting kicked off of college campuses here in the United States,

00:26:39.180 but it sort of reached, I guess, its logical conclusion. Saurabh, can you walk us through

00:26:43.520 this event, what's going on and why they want to shut you down so badly?

00:26:46.340 Absolutely, Natalie. And it's funny you make that analogy. It's exactly what I said as the

00:26:52.620 conference was going on. I thought my days of having speeches and conferences canceled were

00:26:57.480 over because I wasn't on a college campus anymore, but it was a throwback to six, seven years when I

00:27:02.300 was at the University of Texas at Austin. So I'll walk you through it really basically. I'm the

00:27:06.360 executive director of Edmund Burke Foundation, which puts on national conservatism conferences in the

00:27:11.380 United States and Europe, in addition to being president of American Moment. And we were about

00:27:15.240 to host a conference in Brussels. This was going to be our second conference there after a couple

00:27:19.940 of years. And the framework was that Europe is about to go into elections in early June that will

00:27:24.880 determine whether or not it will continue to be a continent of independent nations charting their

00:27:30.060 own history or this totalitarian angiocracy hosted in Brussels. And so that was the framework of

00:27:37.140 the conference. The subtitle was preserving the nation state in Europe. A couple of days ago,

00:27:41.920 we got a notification that the first venue that we had been booked for months to have this conference

00:27:47.060 at, Concert Nobel, right across the street from the European Parliament, was pulling out of the

00:27:51.560 conference. And we were completely shocked by this. We'd hosted a conference there successfully

00:27:56.520 before, completely blindsided us. We eventually, over the course of the weekend, found a second venue,

00:28:02.320 the Sofitel in Europe, to host this conference. And we thought, okay, you know, it'll be a little

00:28:07.800 disruptive, but what we figured it out, everything's going to be fine. Then Monday night, the day before

00:28:12.020 the conference, the Sofitel also pulls out. And then we realized that there's something quite fishy

00:28:17.180 going on here. We've got to cut to a break. So I want to leave the audience hanging on that.

00:28:21.320 It's a very good cliffhanger. It's planned perfectly, like out of a Hollywood, what is it, film room?

00:28:27.740 That's what Steve always says. War Room Posse. We will be back after this break. In the meantime,

00:28:31.640 maybe go check out birchgold.com slash Bannon. I guarantee you, they will never debank you for

00:28:37.180 watching this show, for not having taken the COVID vaccine, you name it. Birchgold.com slash Bannon.

00:28:42.860 We'll be right back. Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with

00:28:49.020 all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products? Progressive corporate America

00:28:55.660 continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the

00:29:02.980 future of the American dream. It's prominent all over the country. Companies like Starbucks

00:29:08.540 strong-arming their customers to support abortion. Financial services like PayPal canceling customers

00:29:14.820 for their political views. Makeup companies like Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting 1.00

00:29:20.340 transgender models and beer companies like Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you 0.98

00:29:26.880 want is to enjoy a cold beer. Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our

00:29:33.960 hard-earned dollars. With Public Square, we now have a solution. It's simple. Join the movement of millions

00:30:47.600 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:30:55.880 Welcome back to The War Room. It's still Natalie G. Winter's hosting. We still got Sir Rob Sharma from

00:31:01.460 American Moment and so much more. I believe the Edmund Burke Foundation as well. Joining us,

00:31:06.580 we had to cut because of the break, but you were just getting to the third part of your story. It's

00:31:10.820 sort of like, what is it, Goldilocks? Except instead of it being too hot, too cold, they were just like,

00:31:15.520 oh, you guys are too radical. You're way too radical. But apparently the third venue,

00:31:19.820 it was just right until the police came and stopped a lot of your speakers from coming in.

00:31:25.000 You can pick up where you left off.

00:31:26.500 Sure. So we finally get this very last second venue in Brussels to host a conservative conference

00:31:34.360 about the nation state. And I am on stage chairing a panel Tuesday afternoon. It's right around noon.

00:31:41.740 The conference has only been going on for two or three hours. And my colleagues start texting me

00:31:45.900 that the police are on their way to shut the event down. And that's when we realized what was

00:31:50.540 actually going on. The mayor of Brussels had made it his goal to shut down this event, the socialist 0.99

00:31:56.380 mayor. And the police came. They sent three cops. They sort of stood outside and said the event is

00:32:02.160 canceled for a little bit. Then they came in. They saw the big crowd. They saw the cameras. And they got

00:32:07.500 spooked. And they went back outside. And they decided to play a game of attrition with us. They said,

00:32:12.280 OK, we can't actually shut this event down. We're not interested in frog marching 400 nice people in

00:32:19.440 suits and dresses out of this conference. So if you leave, you can't come back in. And so we're

00:32:25.360 basically holding you hostage. I started calling it the Brussels hostage crisis. And the funny thing

00:32:30.120 is, is that we didn't have lunch, but everyone wanted to stay all the way through the event.

00:32:35.960 We were trying to smuggle cardinals and members of European Parliament into the building. They somehow 1.00

00:32:42.580 made it in. So I guess they found a way around the police. But, you know, Eric Zemmour, a former

00:32:46.960 presidential candidate in France was prevented from entering the venue. But we continued to have

00:32:51.520 the conference all through the end of the day. And late that night, a Brussels court actually ruled

00:32:56.540 against the mayor of Brussels and said that this was completely unconstitutional and they had to allow

00:33:01.840 the conference to happen. So we just a couple hours ago wrapped up one of the most important

00:33:06.500 conservative conferences Europe has ever had, undeterred by this tyrannical Brussels government,

00:33:11.700 four separate attempts to cancel us. And look, the Streisand effect is real. A lot more eyeballs

00:33:18.520 were on this event than they would have liked. Four prime ministers had to step in and say that this

00:33:24.920 is absurd. So I don't think the Brussels mayor exactly got what he wanted. The message of national

00:33:29.980 conservatism is spreading much further and much wider because of what he did.

00:33:34.940 I think there's a lot of metaphorical significance with what went on. Of course,

00:33:39.140 Brussels, what is that? The city of the global elite, right? It's almost as bad as Davos,

00:33:43.640 I would probably say. Although I guess you guys are the counterculture Davos now. I think you

00:33:48.020 solidified that with the police literally trying to shut you down. But I'm just curious. Obviously,

00:33:53.160 they're trying to quash, or at least it seems like at any meaningful substantive discussions of the

00:33:57.640 importance of the, you know, Westphalian nation state. But it seems sort of interesting. Meanwhile,

00:34:02.580 they're pushing day after day after day. Of course, they're not actually supporting it

00:34:06.200 financially, but the importance of Ukraine's borders and Ukraine's sovereignty and their

00:34:10.380 territorial integrity. But when we want to have it for other countries, right, it's sort of a moot

00:34:15.000 point. You aren't allowed to go there. If you want to maybe kind of read the audience in on a little

00:34:20.180 bit of what you guys talked about, you know, who was there in terms of different European countries,

00:34:25.620 the sort of globalist or anti-globalist rather coalition that I know Steve has had an intimate hand

00:34:30.320 and building, but how it's burgeoning and how it really is rising up, so much so that they're

00:34:35.580 having to deploy police forces to put it down. Absolutely. So a couple of months ago,

00:34:43.140 The Economist had as their front cover for the magazine. And I remember Steve texted me at the

00:34:48.360 time and was so pleased with it. It was a MAGA hat. But instead of saying, make America great again,

00:34:53.380 it was a laundry list of countries that have all had these nationalist populist revolutions. So it said

00:34:58.500 Hungary, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, El Salvador. And it was basically all of the places

00:35:05.220 where conservative patriots with nationalist instincts have actually found a foothold in

00:35:10.460 power. And this is what the left is most afraid of. They were always globalists and deeply connected

00:35:16.000 with each other. And I think the mistake that many conservatives made for a few decades is they

00:35:20.100 assumed that you had to be a globalist in order to be connected with fellow conservative patriots

00:35:25.560 across the world. That's obviously not true, as we've realized in the last few years. Steve was a

00:35:29.820 trailblazer on this. National conservatism conferences have been trailblazers in this space.

00:35:34.460 And so when they see conservatives uniting across nations with maybe some minor disagreements between

00:35:40.720 them, but showing a consolidated force against the global left, they get very afraid. Obviously,

00:35:46.320 they have their boogeymen. They really don't like Viktor Orban because he's pro-peace and believes

00:35:51.440 that sending hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians into the meat grinder is not exactly

00:35:56.920 in Europe's best interest. They really don't like Nigel Farage because he is basically the biggest

00:36:01.840 threat to Brussels that's ever existed in one person. They don't like Erickson Moore because he believes

00:36:06.780 in sovereignty and French identity. They really did not like most of these speakers at this conference.

00:36:12.360 So I don't blame them for being upset. It's just more evidence than ever that when European elites

00:36:19.320 preach about liberal democracy and tolerance, liberal democracy means they win and you lose.

00:36:26.000 And so we really shouldn't listen to their bleeding about liberal democracy. And we certainly shouldn't

00:36:30.620 take them seriously when they call us fascists anymore. I want to link this to what is going on

00:36:36.440 here at home, specifically with the Democrat-controlled Senate deciding to not hold a trial against

00:36:43.180 Mayorkas. I believe all Democrats voted it down in the beginning. Murkowski voted present. Then she

00:36:51.020 later switched to a no. So I guess another day, the rhinos in the Senate will live without facing the 0.94

00:36:56.460 phone call fury and wrath and fire of the war room posse. But it's the issue of immigration that I've

00:37:02.820 always said the American people are the most gaslit on. It's the issue that I think the elites lie to us

00:37:07.500 the most on. And they get really, really upset about it when you dare to say the word sovereignty,

00:37:12.460 borders, nation state, right? Rejecting the idea of a global government. I never elected a global

00:37:19.180 governor, right? It's ridiculous stuff. But I'm just curious your thoughts more for maybe the American 0.99

00:37:25.000 moment perspective on just the Senate's refusal to hold a trial against Mayorkas when they say what

00:37:31.280 he's doing at the southern border. It's not a high crime and misdemeanor. It's utterly absurd. I think

00:37:39.660 that if this level of dereliction of duty is not impeachable and not worthy of a Senate trial, then

00:37:46.280 nothing is. We may as well pack it up. There is no cabinet. We are run by the deep state. Mayorkas'

00:37:51.960 subversion of the American people and their interests is one of the greatest crimes committed against the 0.96

00:37:56.720 American people ever. You know, our friend Raheem Kassam, he said for years that if a Democrat won

00:38:02.200 in 2020 that they would bring 10 million migrants across the border and people said he's crazy, that

00:38:07.820 he's absurd. Well, they're on pace for something like that. It's an insane, insane invasion at our

00:38:13.820 southern border. And immigration really is the galvanizing and the uniting issue for conservative

00:38:19.680 patriots across the world. It is the same fight. They're trying to bring millions of people into the

00:38:25.020 United Kingdom. They're trying to bring millions of people into France. They're trying to bring 0.81

00:38:28.460 millions of people into Germany. Part of the reason they hate Hungary and Poland so much is

00:38:32.900 because they said no to bringing millions of people in. And now the greatest natural experiment

00:38:37.300 in European history is going to play out. How did the countries that said no to mass migration

00:38:42.440 fare? And how did the ones that said yes fare? And I think the truth is simple. The ones that allowed

00:38:47.900 tens of millions of unvetted Muslim migrants from the third world to come into their nations aren't going to 1.00

00:38:53.500 exist as European nations in two, three, four decades. And the ones that chose a different path

00:38:58.100 will continue to exist. And that's why we have to keep fighting on this immigration issue in the

00:39:02.280 United States, because as bad as the situation is in the U.S., it can get a lot worse. Coming

00:39:06.760 through Europe is proof of that. You see how it's unrecognizable. So we can never let up on the

00:39:12.780 rhinos and the left that keep on trying to make compromises on this issue, especially senators.

00:39:18.420 There's something about them, especially Republican senators. You turn your back for 30 seconds on them

00:39:22.700 and they've cooked up a new amnesty proposal. We can't let it happen.

00:39:27.020 Yeah. Spare me the comprehensive immigration reform and root causes talk, right? I've heard

00:39:32.740 that one too many times. Scariest words in the English language.

00:39:36.640 No, like seriously, they actually are. Sir Rob, let people know a little bit about American Moment

00:39:43.060 before you go and, of course, the show that you co-host. But why, from a personnel perspective,

00:39:48.100 we know personnel is policy, how you guys are really working to make sure that ahead of Trump's

00:39:53.320 impending victory that we have no deep state bureaucrats who are going to speak in, you know,

00:39:58.740 root causes and comprehensive immigration and amnesty speak. They're going to speak in

00:40:02.300 mass deportation. Take that, deep state. Just walk us through a little bit what you guys do at

00:40:07.800 American Moment.

00:40:11.040 Absolutely. So one of my hats is I'm the president of American Moment. We were founded right after

00:40:15.420 the 2020 election and the goal was simple. Make sure what happened to President Trump

00:40:20.100 never happens again. He did not have a cadre of a couple thousand patriots that would go into the

00:40:25.700 administration that were competent and would help enact his agenda. That can never happen again. He

00:40:31.320 needs the people to help implement his agenda. A president only has so many hours in the day.

00:40:36.920 They hire four to five thousand people to help implement their will to manage 2.2 million federal

00:40:41.940 bureaucrats. It's our job to help find those four to five thousand people, highly competent,

00:40:47.240 talented, capable, young and mid-level people. That's what we specialize in. To go work in the

00:40:51.880 future administration, to go work in congressional offices, to go work in public policy organizations

00:40:56.260 in D.C. We ruthlessly select for only a young talent that has an America first worldview and we

00:41:02.420 white glove service them into being as influential, getting them promoted as quickly as humanly

00:41:07.800 possible because we don't have a lot of time and we've had a lot of success in the last three

00:41:10.940 years. If you're a young person or you know a young person that wants to get involved,

00:41:15.040 it's not enough to sit on your couch and watch podcasts and YouTube videos all day. You actually

00:41:18.960 have to get involved. We've had a lot of young people from the War Room Posse come through our

00:41:23.240 program so we're always grateful to get connected with you and find out how we can help. So that's

00:41:27.620 what we do at American Moment. And then National Conservatism Conferences are the convening ground for

00:41:32.820 the thinkers in this movement. We'll be hosting one in the summer in the U.S. So stay tuned for that

00:41:38.900 once we have more details. Saurabh, thank you so much for joining us, for invoking a little bit

00:41:44.980 of Raheem Kassam and triggering me by saying amnesty. You definitely got to come back soon.

00:41:51.560 Thank you so much. Absolutely. Thanks, Natalie.

00:41:53.780 I think we have Michael Seifert from, of course, Public Square joining us. Now, I thought you'd be

00:42:01.860 a perfect person to have on. We had an earlier segment on the show about debanking the plague

00:42:07.060 that seems to be affecting everyone who's just even slightly adjacent to MAGA. Of course,

00:42:11.960 John Eastman, we actually listened to the audio, the phone call of Bank of America telling him that

00:42:17.080 they were no longer going to be servicing him. You obviously lead what I would say is sort of the

00:42:20.920 counterculture movement. To that, I would love to just get your thoughts on that and really how

00:42:26.900 much of a society-wide, you could even almost argue, whole-of-government approach that debanking

00:42:34.100 has become, not just for the left but for the establishment.

00:42:38.620 Well, and I would take it one step farther, Natalie, which is this is a plague that is not

00:42:42.860 only inflicting pain upon American leaders. This is a global problem as well. You see international

00:42:49.720 banks that have stifled proponents of free speech. And in the United States specifically,

00:42:55.100 obviously, it seems like MAGA is sort of the litmus test. If you have at all ever been seen

00:43:00.260 as adjacent to this America First MAGA movement, you are an object of the left and the progressive

00:43:08.080 authoritarians in our financial sectors' desire to debank. In any authoritarian society over the course

00:43:14.860 of the past 150 years, the first thing that the communists have sought to do is strip away your

00:43:22.280 economic access. It is your most important freedom. If you do not have the ability to transact in a free

00:43:27.720 economy, you cannot provide food for your family. You cannot secure your financial future. You cannot make

00:43:33.400 sure that you establish stability under all of the facets of your daily life. And that is the very thing

00:43:38.740 they want to remove from the patriots in this country, like John Eastman, that have had any

00:43:44.240 level of proximity to the former president and the broader MAGA movement or the anti-globalist movement

00:43:49.180 on the international scale. Natalie, I remember last year when Nigel Farage was actually debanked by his

00:43:55.200 bank. The authoritarians have made it clear they do not want you to be able to express your voice if it

00:44:03.360 rebukes the narrative of the regime. The regime has made it clear that they want globalism.

00:44:09.240 They want a stifling of personal expression and individualism on a broad societal basis. And if

00:44:14.760 you dare poke the bear, they will make sure that you have your financial freedom robbed. We obviously

00:44:19.560 exist as a platform to help people find their financial freedom in their consumer purchases and

00:44:24.200 in their banking. This is yet another reminder of why we need to continue fighting.

00:44:29.140 And Michael, I'll hold you through the break because I want to get your thoughts on what's going on

00:44:32.920 when it comes to even more hundreds of billions of dollars going to Ukraine, while most companies,

00:44:38.100 the Chamber of Commerce, are supporting it because they're profiting off of it. Of course,

00:44:41.600 Public Square isn't. We will be right back after this break with Michael Seifert.

00:44:46.560 Now that we are launching into the general election season, Patriot Mobile wants to celebrate with a very

00:46:58.460 War Room line. Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash Bannon. I think there's a new installment of

00:47:05.160 the end of the dollar empire coming out because Joe Biden's president and we're probably inching

00:47:09.980 even closer. Who knows? But you've got to get your latest copy of that. Give Philip Patrick a call.

00:47:16.520 You know, he can only come on the Saturday shows because he's so busy fielding all his calls from

00:47:20.600 you. I'm sure he maybe feels similar pain to Kevin McCarthy when you guys were really piling into him.

00:47:25.540 Though something tells me Mike Johnson might be feeling a similar fire and fury from the War Room

00:47:30.080 posse soon enough. Before I let you go, Michael, I have a question for you. A lot of my background as

00:47:35.700 an investigative reporter had to do with sort of these kind of funny conflicts of interest that a

00:47:40.180 lot of people who were pushing for more Ukraine aid had with, well, the Ukraine aid packages, whether

00:47:44.840 it was themselves, their spouses, their children working for companies that were really receiving

00:47:49.380 a financial boon when more billions or probably soon enough trillions of dollars were going to

00:47:55.320 Ukraine. In the Chamber of Commerce, they have these special lobbying groups, right, that always

00:47:59.320 push for more Ukraine aid. And you guys, whether the issue is immigration, Ukraine aid, mask mandates,

00:48:04.600 big farmers, if you guys always sort of stand alone and that you never join in on that chorus of

00:48:10.100 corporations who benefit from policies that not just deprive us of our civil liberties, but are

00:48:15.280 actively bad for America, though realistically that's probably why they support it. I'm just curious

00:48:20.840 your thoughts on the latest installment of yet another $100 billion is all the issues we're

00:48:25.880 facing here at home for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, you name it. What your thoughts are on really

00:48:32.460 Congress's just willingness to put America last? Well, honestly, I'm disappointed today. More than

00:48:39.060 anything, I feel frustrated and dejected. It seems like no matter how many times the America First

00:48:44.740 movement, which is the bulk of the conservative base, by the way, petitions our leaders to actually

00:48:50.140 represent our interests, they continue to let us down time and time again. The American people do

00:48:55.380 not want more aid for Ukraine or any other foreign country while we are currently being invaded.

00:49:01.040 And so when you see our southern border flooded with millions, millions of illegal migrants coming

00:49:08.140 across and taking our jobs, in many cases committing heinous crimes, all while our government turns a blind

00:49:14.920 eye, and then that same government goes and utilizes our hard-earned tax dollars to fund foreign

00:49:19.540 nations in their disputes that have no actual day-to-day impact on our day-to-day lives,

00:49:24.960 it's incredibly infuriating. And then you mention not only are elected officials having problems

00:49:30.400 continually being on the wrong side of this issue, they're not listening to us, but we also have

00:49:34.740 these bureaucratic unelected entities that are doing the same thing. You have entities like the

00:49:40.260 Chamber of Commerce that were designated to support the interests of the American business community

00:49:44.440 backing bills that provide mass amnesty for illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, the actual small businesses

00:49:53.140 that they are supposed to be representing are getting harmed by the wage effects that come with

00:49:58.020 mass illegal immigration. Small businesses do not favor illegal immigration because only the mega

00:50:03.900 corporate entities that hire these illegal immigrants and cause really disastrous wage problems 1.00

00:50:10.080 and completely stifle the competitive environment for a small business. Those are the only entities that

00:50:14.260 actually profit off of this. So the Chamber of Commerce, Congress, the mega financial institutions that are

00:50:20.720 beholden to an ESG agenda continually side with the globalists instead of the American people and the

00:50:27.720 America First movement more broadly. It's infuriating. My hope, though, Natalie, is that in all of this,

00:50:33.640 with the incredible war room posse, with our millions of consumers and awakened consumers that are

00:50:39.840 recognizing that their vote takes place not only at the ballot box, but also with their wallets,

00:50:44.640 hopefully we can push back against this and support the types of businesses that you can find on

00:50:49.680 Public Square and the sponsors of your show and many others that will vocally protest these types of

00:50:57.460 actions like we're seeing out of Congress today. I hope that this bill fails. I hope that Speaker

00:51:02.380 Johnson hears a loud and clear message that Americans are ready to prioritize Americans,

00:51:07.340 and that not only includes the individuals that make up this beautiful country, the citizens of

00:51:11.500 this country, but also the small businesses that represent the interests of Main Street. We are

00:51:15.720 well past due for that type of action from those that are supposed to represent us.

00:51:21.060 Michael, if people want to follow you or get on the Public Square platform, either as a consumer

00:51:26.040 or a business, hit us one more time where they can go to do all that.

00:51:29.740 Well, if you're a consumer and you want to shop from the largest marketplace of America first

00:51:34.920 businesses in the country, head to publicsquare.com. We have 80,000 business vendors selling millions

00:51:40.720 of products that would love to serve you. They've all agreed with our value statement. They love the

00:51:44.960 country, the constitution, and the values that that wonderful document protects, and they would love

00:51:49.060 to serve you quality products and services. And if you are a business, you can join there for free

00:51:53.640 and save Main Street with the power of the parallel economy.

00:51:59.220 Michael, thank you so much for joining us.

00:52:01.880 Great to see you, Natalie. Thank you.

00:52:04.240 It's always important to maintain firm, hold strong on your values. If only Speaker Mike Johnson

00:52:11.340 had an ounce of the courage and tenacity they had over at Public Square. I just want to draw a quick

00:52:16.780 juxtaposition. You have Chuck Schumer in the Senate literally telling the American people amidst a

00:52:23.620 chorus of cries from the left that democracy is the most important thing, telling the American

00:52:28.980 people that the People's House who voted to basically have a trial, or I guess at least to impeach

00:52:34.100 Mayorkas over what he did, his dereliction of duty, though I think that's too nice a term, 0.99

00:52:38.460 his intentional destruction of this country through the southern border and the northern border too,

00:52:42.840 while we're at it, and ports of entry, you name it. He had the nerve to look the American people

00:52:47.620 in the eye and at least tell them, oh no, you're not going to get that. You're not going to see

00:52:50.640 all the ways the deep state, the NGOs, we've been giving your taxpayer dollars to facilitate the mass

00:52:55.580 invasion of this country. Mike Johnson still lies to us. I almost find that more insulting to our

00:53:01.460 intelligence because in the same breath that he says, oh, we need to give $100 billion to Ukraine,

00:53:06.560 Israel, and Taiwan. Oh, but we're also here, look over here, look at this shiny toy. We're also going to

00:53:11.040 introduce a bill that maybe has something to do with the border. It says the word border. What they

00:53:15.460 don't tell you is they, what was it, gave $300 million to the Ukrainian border services. Yeah, every

00:53:22.520 single penny of that should be clawed back the second this show ends and given to the United States

00:53:30.140 Border Patrol. And I'd raise that Speaker Mike Johnson, the fact that Joe Biden has co-signed

00:53:36.200 on your foreign aid bill should be a very, very large red flag. So much so that I hope you guys, 0.78

00:53:45.200 the Warren Posse, pile in, call him and make sure that a Joe Biden endorsement don't mean much.

00:53:52.140 You know why? Because if Joe Biden's endorsing it, that means the Chinese Communist Party is,

00:53:56.980 the Mexican drug cartels, the human traffickers, the America Last Globalists, probably Klaus Schwab

00:54:02.740 himself. And I don't know about you, but nothing about that to me is MAGA or America First.

00:54:09.500 And with that, Warren Posse, Steve will be back, of course, tomorrow. In the meantime,

00:54:13.260 you can always go to my website, shesoright.co. Maybe show off your support for President Trump.

00:54:19.480 You've got to get the Barbie pink America First t-shirt or the keychain, anything you want,

00:54:24.800 to show off your support for him despite, what is it, 90-some-odd felonies. We don't care. MAGA

00:54:31.520 hat stays on. We still support Trump, Warren Posse. I will see you tomorrow.

00:54:36.600 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:54:41.940 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:54:46.020 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and

00:54:52.000 tracking our movement across the internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial

00:54:57.540 newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming

00:55:03.140 event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact,

00:55:08.980 some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their

00:55:12.940 powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes,

00:55:19.580 buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:55:26.420 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately,

00:55:32.460 Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on

00:55:37.240 what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
