00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,
00:00:08.000 because we're going to medieval on these people.
00:00:11.000 Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:26.000 Mega Media.
00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:52.000 But overall, with the CR, as our leader just noted,
00:00:57.000 we have broken the Christmas Omni.
00:01:00.000 And I have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition.
00:01:03.000 So there won't be a Christmas Omni bus.
00:01:05.000 If somebody asked me in the hallway a little while ago, will there be minibuses?
00:01:08.000 We don't want any buses.
00:01:09.000 We're not going to do any buses, okay?
00:01:11.000 We'll deal with that in the lame duck. 0.88
00:01:13.000 And I'm going to hope, I'm going to plead, I'm going to urge the Senate to do their job.
00:01:18.000 As Leader Scalise noted, they have not done that.
00:01:21.000 This is Chuck Schumer's fault.
00:01:22.000 It is not the House Republicans that we're in the position where we have to have a resolution to continue funding the government at the end of the fiscal year.
00:01:29.000 We did our work.
00:01:30.000 We passed 12 appropriations bills through the committee process in record time.
00:01:33.000 We put them on the floor.
00:01:35.000 Almost 73% of federal funding has been passed through the House.
00:01:39.000 We sent it all over to the Senate, and they've done nothing.
00:01:42.000 They did not one bill, and they would not negotiate with us on the top line.
00:01:46.000 So here we are.
00:01:47.000 We loathe CRs as much as anyone, but this is the situation that the Senate Democrat leadership put us in.
00:01:53.000 It would be political malpractice to shut the government down. 0.88
00:01:57.000 I think everyone understands that.
00:01:58.000 And so we hope that this will get done quickly, and we can get everybody back home to their districts to work and to the campaign trail.
00:02:05.000 You're in the war room.
00:02:08.000 It's Tuesday, September 24th in the year of our Lord 2024.
00:02:13.000 It's Natalie G. Winters holding the fort down.
00:02:16.000 That's, of course, Republican leadership holding their press conference today.
00:02:21.000 Although maybe we should actually call them the welcome committee for the largest state-sponsored invasion that this country's ever seen.
00:02:32.000 Or should we call them the guarantors of the largest taxpayer-subsidized money laundering operation, that is, Ukraine foreign aid,
00:02:42.000 that we have even less insight into than our elections here in the United States.
00:02:47.000 Or maybe we should call them the worst investigators ever.
00:02:51.000 And I'm not just talking about weaponization, oversight, COVID, or China, those committees.
00:02:56.000 No, I'm talking about their sham task force on the Trump assassination attempt.
00:03:01.000 So much so that I have to qualify it's the first assassination.
00:03:06.000 Because they've done so little to uncover anything on that front.
00:03:10.000 That the question really isn't even how President Trump is doing it in the polls.
00:03:14.000 It's if he's actually going to make it to election day.
00:03:17.000 Because House Republicans have continually failed to deliver any accountability, frankly, on any front.
00:03:23.000 But most offensively, when it comes to the assassination attempt against President Trump.
00:03:29.000 I'm so sick and tired, or maybe I should use the word that Speaker Johnson.
00:03:34.000 I loathe the battered woman syndrome mindset.
00:03:38.000 The white flag waving surrender caucus that plagues Washington, DC.
00:03:44.000 And people like Speaker Mike Johnson and all those people who flanked him on stage.
00:03:49.000 Who are so unwilling to throw down and fight for the American people.
00:03:55.000 Oh, the Senate.
00:03:56.000 They didn't do anything.
00:03:57.000 Oh, we're just gonna give up.
00:04:00.000 You guys have more of a chance of holding the line.
00:04:04.000 Whether it's single subject spending bills.
00:04:07.000 Or messaging on a government shutdown.
00:04:09.000 Than Ukraine ever had a chance of winning against Russia.
00:04:13.000 Yet I see you guys picking the ladder.
00:04:15.000 And wasting hundreds of . . .
00:04:18.000 To fund that fight.
00:04:19.000 And to continue to fund that fight.
00:04:22.000 So much so.
00:04:23.000 That we're busy flying Zelensky in.
00:04:25.000 On U.S. aircraft into swing states like Pennsylvania.
00:04:29.000 To campaign for Kamala Harris.
00:04:32.000 But I'm so glad, Speaker Mike Johnson, that you picked the fight.
00:04:36.000 To make sure that we give as much taxpayer funding as we can to Zelensky.
00:04:41.000 So we can hit the campaign trail for Kamala.
00:04:45.000 That's what leadership looks like, right?
00:04:48.000 Well, I don't think you're on our team, Mr. Speaker.
00:04:53.000 And by the way. . .
00:04:56.000 In that clip, right?
00:04:57.000 He says, oh, we're not gonna have an omnibus.
00:04:59.000 We're not gonna have a minibus.
00:05:01.000 Yeah, I don't trust anything, Washington says.
00:05:06.000 But there's also reporting.
00:05:07.000 And Denver, let's throw that tweet up on the screen right now.
00:05:10.000 From Melanie Zenona, who's now with Punchbowl.
00:05:12.000 Where it's interesting, because we're already seeing the cracks emerge.
00:05:16.000 Speaker Johnson saying that, well, he, quote, hopes there won't be any minibuses.
00:05:22.000 Yet where does hope get you in Washington, D.C., let alone when it's Speaker Johnson, who has
00:05:30.000 no backbone, no spine, and no willingness to stand up to the special interests, the donors,
00:05:36.000 the lobbyists, the rhinos, and the Democratic Party who bailed him out and have kept him as
00:05:41.000 Speaker.
00:05:42.000 You know, for all these people who want to sit there and lecture us and say that this
00:05:48.000 show and Stephen K.
00:05:49.000 Bannon and the MAGA movement have done a disservice to democracy.
00:05:55.000 It's you, Speaker Johnson.
00:05:58.000 It's America Last Republicans who have turned democracy, and I know we're a constitutional
00:06:03.000 republic, into a disgrace.
00:06:08.000 That means all you do is serve your paymasters, donors, and lobbyists, and you screw over the
00:06:14.000 American people who worked so damn hard and donated to you to get you elected.
00:06:20.000 That's what democracy is, right?
00:06:25.000 Yeah, democracy dies in darkness.
00:06:27.000 I think that's the Washington Post strapline.
00:06:30.000 It's not a warning.
00:06:32.000 It's the playbook.
00:06:34.000 And I'm sure they're going to hold a vote on Wednesday in darkness probably to put, ram 0.96
00:06:40.000 through, jam through this three-month CR, because that's business as usual in Washington,
00:06:46.000 D.C.
00:06:47.000 And it's why you want to shut this show down.
00:06:49.000 It's why you wanted Stephen K.
00:06:51.000 Bannon in prison.
00:06:52.000 It's why you want to fund the salaries of the people who want him there and locked him
00:06:57.000 up.
00:06:58.000 And it's why we are not going to let you get away with it.
00:07:00.000 You are going to own this vote, Speaker Johnson, if you have to beg for the Democrats to get
00:07:04.000 them.
00:07:06.000 And that's why I hope this audience is going to do what they always do best.
00:07:10.000 Like I say, we've got a reputation.
00:07:13.000 We're going to uphold it.
00:07:15.000 We're going to call 202-225-3121.
00:07:20.000 Download the Bill Blaster app and you're going to call your congressmen, your senators, Republican,
00:07:24.000 and Democrat, and especially the office of Speaker Mike Johnson.
00:07:30.000 We're going to say hell no on this three-month CR.
00:07:34.000 I'm honored now to bring in the one and only Russ vote from CRA.
00:07:39.000 Russ, before we get into the nitty-gritty on all this, I'd love to just sort of get your theory of the case when it comes to this CR in particular and why opposition is so, so critical.
00:07:52.000 No, this needs to be a hard and easy no for all Republicans, that you're going to put us into a lame duck session where we're most likely going to get some version of an omnibus bill.
00:08:05.000 And they are parsing their comments very carefully, but that's what happens when you're in a lame duck omnibus after an election where there is a rush.
00:08:15.000 They always talk about clearing the decks into the next year.
00:08:18.000 They're in the midst of their leadership elections and organizing with their new members. 0.96
00:08:23.000 That's what lame ducks produce. 1.00
00:08:25.000 It produces bad policy and bad bills, one of which is an omnibus bill.
00:08:29.000 So this needs to be a hard and easy no.
00:08:32.000 Every Republican should be voting no on this.
00:08:34.000 Senators need to be pulling out all the stops to slow it down so that even if we can't stop it, it becomes such a plague on the majority that they can't do anything other than try to get out of that lame duck with something other than an omnibus bill that I'm worried about does two things, Natalie.
00:08:52.000 I'm worried that it funds the federal government at woke and weaponized high levels of bureaucracy, all of the things you mentioned in your open for a quarter of what I hope to be President Trump's second term for the funding for his first year is happening now.
00:09:09.000 Secondly, I'm very worried that we have a big bill like this.
00:09:13.000 They put in things that tie his hands and no one reads these bills, even the people who write them read these bills.
00:09:19.000 So we find out about this after the fact because they passed it in the dark of night and we don't have an ability to make sure that Speaker Johnson and others are even aware because the appropriators writes these bills of what's in the bill.
00:09:32.000 So we're in a very dangerous place right now and it's incumbent on all Republicans to make sure Hakeem Jeffries carries this bill with as little Republican support as possible.
00:09:42.000 You know, Speaker Johnson stands up there saying that he wants to ensure a victory for Trump and that he thinks his agenda is so important to roll out, but the omnibus would essentially handicap it.
00:09:53.000 So can you just walk the audience through just historically why you think the omnibus will happen despite Speaker Johnson's protestations otherwise and just walk us one more time through when they're making the phone calls why any congressman who claims to be a supporter of President Trump if they vote for this bill they are actively undermining his agenda.
00:10:12.000 You know, after an election you have limited time and so they're going to put these bills together and historically that has been to put them into one bill and ever since President Trump started to be opposed to omnibus bills and saying I hate these things stop doing that.
00:10:28.000 Then they stopped they started doing them in minibuses where they would put still there's still massive bills there's still thousand page bills and so I think in when I when I heard some of the comments coming from the Hill they are entertaining minibuses and I know Speaker Johnson said that that's not his intent but the the or the institutional pressures will be to still have be very very big bills without a lot of time and they feel like they need to get those things done.
00:10:53.000 That is a recipe for disaster because you don't have enough time to be able to scrub these bills know what's in them you're reading them at the dark of night before members are voting and it's just it is not a great way to at all to do business friscally for the country.
00:11:09.000 I'm just curious what your thoughts are on the politics of a shutdown this close to the election or what you think the alternate strategy would be given that what is it about 75 percent of the government is more or less funded through these
00:11:23.000 single subject spending bills despite the Senate not really moving on them.
00:11:26.000 Well I think there is there this has been one of the main handicaps in DC that has frustrated this audience and the grassroots at large which is that Washington DC and you saw it in in Speaker Johnson's comments is afraid of shutdowns.
00:11:43.000 They view them as the terrors in the night and that there is no way to to be able to argue on the basis of whatever you're fighting for.
00:11:51.000 And it's just not true.
00:11:52.000 In fact most of the times when you've had government shutdowns the American people reward the Republican Party for fighting and doing everything they possibly can to get their policy objectives across the finish line.
00:12:05.000 Because if one side says look I'm going to say no and no and no and the other side says I can't have a shutdown who's going to win the negotiation.
00:12:12.000 So this this this this notion that we could not have had a brinksmanship fight with a potential government shutdown right now on the basis of spending and the SAVE Act is just not true.
00:12:25.000 And as a result we had a complete complete capitulation because of a disagreement as to whether you do a CR you finish the bills.
00:12:36.000 Both of those camps want to have a fight with Washington DC the cartel the unit party comes along and says up.
00:12:44.000 All right we're not going to go and get our work done.
00:12:46.000 We're in fact going to kick us in a lame duck which we we know is in our favor. 1.00
00:12:50.000 And so that is something that is there's no explanation for that in the real world.
00:12:56.000 Much of the federal government will continue.
00:12:58.000 And by the way we saw in covid covid shut down most of the most of the country and we still had the federal government working behind the scenes.
00:13:06.000 So look everything is basically an autopilot social security checks the Postal Service Medicare payments.
00:13:13.000 We're talking about unessential employees that wouldn't show up and be able to do some of the discretionary activities of the federal government.
00:13:20.000 This is long been a boogeyman that the that politicians in DC have and President Trump had laid the predicate to have this fight multiple times on the basis of the SAVE Act.
00:13:30.000 And it's unfortunate that the Republican majority couldn't get there and be able to pick this fight with the Democrats.
00:13:36.000 Just give me a minute we've got to jump to break shortly but do you think then the issue is is Speaker Johnson do you think we need to be having just having a discussion about the fate of his speakership or what do we need to be focusing on right now.
00:13:49.000 I've clearly been a critic of Speaker Johnson.
00:13:53.000 I think that in this case that he wanted for a moment to be able to have the fight with the Senate but he wasn't able to do that because there wasn't enough trust for very good reasons that he would actually.
00:14:07.000 Stick to the fight and not prevent a shutdown if a CR with SAVE Act went to the Senate and that's why I haven't weighed in too strongly because my belief has been that the critics were like.
00:14:17.000 Like you know what he hasn't he hasn't shown enough trust and built enough trust to be able to say if we're going to pick this fight we're going to push the boulder down the field we're down the hill we're going to allow this fight to develop and actually go into a shutdown.
00:14:32.000 And so that's that has been the challenge and this leadership team has to get to the point where they can unite both sides.
00:14:38.700 And we we haven't seen that where they could say look we're going to fight and we're going to allow you the conservatives to trust when you make play difficult plays.
00:14:48.000 We've got to bounce to a break.
00:14:49.640 I want to hold you through because we need to keep drilling down on this.
00:14:53.000 Warren Posse will be right back after the short break.
00:14:55.040 Russ Vogt, Mike Benz, so much more.
00:14:56.780 The elites are getting desperate.
00:15:01.980 They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own Orwellian purposes.
00:15:06.280 Their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies, which they control.
00:15:14.360 Imagine your every purchase being called into question.
00:15:17.500 Your every move tracked like you live in a communist country.
00:15:21.400 This is not the America we want, but it is the America they want to create.
00:15:25.760 Fortunately, you can fight back.
00:15:28.320 I believe owning gold is the best solution.
00:15:30.620 Why?
00:15:30.960 Because it keeps you in control and safeguards your savings.

00:16:12.400 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:16:15.220 Ben.
00:16:21.680 Welcome back to The War Room where you've got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898 to get the latest installment of the end of the dollar empire and also supporting Patriot Mobile.
00:16:33.700 It's how you keep this show going, which in times like these, I know that's usually the Birch Gold script you guys are used to hearing, but in CR fights like these, we need the war room more than ever.
00:16:43.900 And we, of course, need Russ vote more than ever.
00:16:45.820 Russ, I know you've got to bounce, but real quick, just give the audience the sort of 30-second soundbite that if they're calling tonight, what they should be saying when they're making those phone calls to 202-225-3121.
00:16:56.700 Really quick, vote against the CR.
00:17:00.720 You cannot be a part of creating a lame duck session after an election with people that have already been voted, in some cases, out of office with a potential cavalry of President Trump coming, an omnibus bill that would originate and hurt the first year of a trumpet presidency.
00:17:18.200 Vote no, vote against a lame duck, and vote against an omnibus bill that would come out of that lame duck session.
00:17:26.700 Has a nice je ne sais quoi to that.
00:17:28.800 Russ, thank you so much for joining us.
00:17:30.180 If people want to follow the CRA, support what you guys are doing, where can they go to do all that?
00:17:37.580 Americarenewing.com is our website.
00:17:39.240 It's updated constantly.
00:17:40.580 At RussVote is my social handle, and at AmRenewCenter is for the organization's Twitter and Getter and all the above.
00:17:50.880 Russ, thank you so much for joining us.
00:17:52.400 You guys also have that great new documentary on Jeff Clark that the audience should definitely check out.
00:17:57.820 War Room Posse, get ready. 1.00
00:18:00.260 We got some more news we gotta run through.
00:18:01.800 We're gonna be joined by Ed Dowd, of course, on the heels of Biden, Harris, Fed, cutting rates by the largest amount since the 2008 crash.
00:18:12.660 I think a lot of people are wondering if it's either sort of a precursor to potentially another crash or if it's just, you know, election interference.
00:18:22.140 I guess we're used to both here in the War Room.
00:18:25.000 But there's so many economic indicators that I could cherry pick and do a whole show on.
00:18:28.760 One today showing that unrealized losses on investment securities for U.S. banks are seven times higher than at the peak of the 2008 financial crisis.
00:18:38.920 You can see that chart on screen.
00:18:40.280 Absolutely wild.
00:18:41.700 We're joined now by Ed Dowd.
00:18:43.160 Ed, if you could just sort of walk us through.
00:18:45.460 You always give us wonderful clinical no-spin analysis.
00:18:48.800 I'm sure Janet Yellen is envious.
00:18:50.660 You could just walk us through your kind of assessment of all these numbers.
00:18:55.740 Yeah, so, like, the Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates 50 basis points.
00:19:01.180 115 economists were calling for a 25 basis point rate cut.
00:19:05.300 The T-bill market had already led the Fed and was indicating a 50 basis point cut.
00:19:11.940 And why are we here?
00:19:13.340 Well, because the interest rates have been held too high for too long.
00:19:17.940 It's causing money contraction.
00:19:20.100 And there's a lag to monetary policy.
00:19:22.960 And M2 went negative year-over-year growth in November of 22.
00:19:27.320 It's usually 18 months for policies to take effect.
00:19:32.280 18 months was May of this year.
00:19:34.460 Our economic cycle indicators started rolling over in March.
00:19:38.040 The real economy, by any measurement, is in the dumps and going into recession.
00:19:43.360 Just a question of when the financial markets figure this out.
00:19:46.380 There's a lot of speculation still.
00:19:50.420 And sometimes, after an interest rate cut like this, it takes a while for the financial markets to react negatively.
00:19:56.740 But they will.
00:19:57.800 In the 2007 top, going into 2008, stocks peaked six months after the first interest rate cut.
00:20:06.240 In 2000, stocks actually peaked a couple months before the first interest rate cut.
00:20:13.520 And in 2020, we had a two-month lag after interest rate cut.
00:20:17.580 So we're on watch.
00:20:19.260 This is an indication the Fed sees something ugly going on behind the curtain.
00:20:23.480 What is ugly?
00:20:24.140 The bank losses you just called out because of the rapid rise in interest rates has caused unrealized losses in their held and maturity portfolios.
00:20:33.840 That caused a run in some banks last year.
00:20:37.280 As you remember, Silicon Valley Bank and others, it was the fastest bank run we've ever seen.
00:20:43.280 The Fed came in with a bank term funding program to plug the hole.
00:20:47.560 That program ended in March of this year.
00:20:50.020 And the problem is, as we roll through the economic cycle, there's bad credit now.
00:20:54.820 They were filling a hole for bad interest rate risk on pretty safe securities, treasuries mostly.
00:21:01.100 But they're not going to bail out credit risk.
00:21:04.580 And there's a commercial real estate crisis going on.
00:21:07.200 And we're now in the credit cycle of this.
00:21:09.420 And it's just a question of time when this all starts to unravel.
00:21:13.620 And, of course, the government juiced the economy last year to keep it from going into recession with unprecedented spending government hiring.
00:21:21.840 And then the illegals have added to the economy. 0.99
00:21:24.340 But that juice has run out and we're rolling over.
00:21:27.720 So this is kind of a, can we make it to the past the election before the stock markets figure this out?
00:21:35.300 That's their hope.
00:21:36.420 And any kind of correction favors Trump immensely.
00:21:38.900 There are so many buried leads in all of these reports.
00:21:43.320 Another number I saw was that the U.S. home price to median household income is also now at an all-time high.
00:21:51.200 I guess it's 7.2.
00:21:54.500 I guess in 2008 it was 6.8, which is just wild.
00:21:59.400 Again, this stunning comparison and juxtaposition there.
00:22:03.320 But I want to drill down on this.
00:22:05.060 There's another interesting, I think it's the chart we have up on screen now showing how under the Harris regime,
00:22:10.940 it really has been investors that are gobbling up most low-price housing.
00:22:16.900 I know we like to focus on, you know, illegals buying up all these houses. 1.00
00:22:21.880 But I think it's an important part of the conversation, too, especially when you see Kamala Harris saying that the way she's going to combat this issue 0.89
00:22:28.500 is by, what, building, you know, 3 million new homes and giving out tax credits.
00:22:32.720 I'd love your take on sort of the housing market as a broader indicator of just how dire things are.
00:22:40.100 Well, clearly, home prices are extended above fair value, which is around 5, 5.3 times median house income.
00:22:49.980 So the housing market is 40% to 30% overvalued right now.
00:22:54.700 And there's a lot of policy pronouncements to try to fix that.
00:23:01.080 The easiest way to do this is to build more supply.
00:23:04.460 Let the economic forces of nature take control.
00:23:08.460 The problem is there's so much red tape that 30% of a home price is red tape and getting the permitting just to get the stuff built.
00:23:18.560 If we could reduce the red tape, home prices would come down 30%.
00:23:24.100 And I think Trump mentioned something about this.
00:23:26.140 He knows he's a real estate guy.
00:23:27.980 So we need more homes built and we need regulations and red tape to just disappear because that is built into the cost.
00:23:36.880 And that would go a long way to alleviating the housing crisis.
00:23:41.040 Interest rates will be coming down.
00:23:42.540 That will help.
00:23:43.300 But that's going to be a lag and take a long time.
00:23:45.620 The other unfortunate problem was all these illegal aliens and putting pressure on home prices. 1.00
00:23:51.400 And then we have the institutional investors buying up homes and turning them into rental units.
00:23:58.800 And that has to be looked at carefully.
00:24:01.980 Obviously, they have a lot of capital put to work and they feel that buying up single-family homes that are cheap and turning people into a class of renters is the way to go.
00:24:12.860 And until we figure out how to address that without doing illegal things and preventing capital from going where it's going,
00:24:21.180 it's something that is definitely being incentivized by the current administration.
00:24:25.840 And I'm sure we could fix that with some policies.
00:24:29.340 Ed Dowd, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with all of your analysis.
00:24:33.220 It's certainly where I go to get any of my numbers because I trust you implicitly.
00:24:38.840 Where can people go to do that?
00:24:41.600 You can go to humanityprojects.info for all our vaccine information.
00:24:47.300 You can also go to financetechnologies.com, our financial page.
00:24:52.080 That's with a P-H.
00:24:53.120 And I'm on Twitter, or X, I should say, at DowdEdward and Getter at EdwardDowd.
00:24:59.680 And, Natalie, I saw your opening statement, so remind me to never get on your bad side.
00:25:05.420 That was a good opening statement.
00:25:07.460 Well, don't ever vote for a CR.
00:25:09.940 That's the surefire way.
00:25:12.700 Thank you so much for joining.
00:25:15.060 I won't. Thank you.
00:25:16.740 We'll have you back on soon.
00:25:19.920 Denver, I want to play.
00:25:21.680 I'm going to tease it first.
00:25:22.940 But you guys know election fraud always seems to cut one way in favor of one candidate.
00:25:28.640 This time, Iowa Democrats were caught mailing out multiple forms for mail-in ballots to their voters.
00:25:36.280 Let's play the clip.
00:25:36.960 A viewer this morning saying she had been a little confused after receiving a duplicate absentee ballot request form
00:25:45.060 after already turning one in.
00:25:47.560 So we'll show you what she had gotten in the mail.
00:25:49.940 You can see it right here.
00:25:52.260 It says at the top, explains, a previous absentee form had been sent.
00:25:57.120 But due to new postal regulations, the Iowa Democratic Party had to send out a new form to voters.
00:26:02.260 I was told by several county auditors today that the form in question, it was too small,
00:26:06.520 so it wasn't able to be processed correctly at post offices and then sent off to county auditors.
00:26:11.840 Iowa Democrats say that it's an issue with a vendor.
00:26:15.060 Bennett, that is an issue for us that we have, that we are confident that we are resolving.
00:26:22.700 There was a change in postal regulations that took our vendor off by surprise.
00:26:31.100 And so those absentee ballot requests have been sent out again,
00:26:36.720 and we have worked with our county auditors across the state to resolve that issue.
00:26:41.740 All those ums, I think someone's a little bit nervous because we caught you.
00:26:47.720 They didn't ever admit to that mistake happening.
00:26:50.420 It took a voter actually sort of blowing the whistle, raising the red flag on that.
00:26:55.300 Certainly an interesting development.
00:26:58.220 I'd also link this to the through line with The Washington Post today,
00:27:01.180 putting out a glowing thousand-word profile piece about how, here's the title,
00:27:06.660 latest strategy in fighting election skepticism, radical transparency.
00:27:11.320 And they go through all the ways that these, you know, bipartisan, nonpartisan election officials
00:27:17.460 are working to secure and safeguard elections.
00:27:19.880 But then it's against MAGA.
00:27:21.700 You know, I think the strapline of this country, or at least the conservative movement,
00:27:26.320 used to be trust but verify.
00:27:28.220 And if we want to cross-apply that to elections, I'm all down for that.
00:27:32.780 But the issue is when you try to verify, they throw you in jail and they say you're an election denier.
00:27:38.800 So they make it a little hard to verify.
00:27:40.620 I think they need to earn our trust when it comes to elections.
00:27:44.560 And this, of course, on the heels of Politico reporting just two days ago
00:27:47.880 that the Democrats are now courting the overseas vote not to be considered.
00:27:52.400 Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans,
00:27:58.220 all the while eroding the future of the American dream?
00:28:01.320 Companies like Starbucks, Strong Army Customers to Support Abortion,
00:28:05.740 or PayPal canceling accounts over political views?
00:28:09.400 Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models? 0.94
00:28:13.340 And Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you
00:28:15.940 when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer?

00:29:19.860 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:29:22.460 In doing all my research for that last segment,
00:29:31.160 I also found out that gold prices are up 28% in 2024,
00:29:36.300 putting it on track for their best annual return since 1979.
00:29:40.120 I'm sure all of you guys who have worked with Birch Gold are very happy.
00:29:43.420 It's why you've got to join the club.
00:29:45.080 Go to BirchGold.com slash Bannon to get the latest installment
00:29:47.660 of The End of the Dollar Empire and give them a call.
00:29:50.080 Well, now, to what I was talking about in my opening,
00:29:54.880 how we have effectively forced the discussion.
00:29:57.080 It's not really even about whether or not President Trump is up in the polls.
00:29:59.800 It's if he will make it to Election Day.
00:30:04.460 And the DOJ is certainly working overtime to make sure that the answer to that question is no.
00:30:11.220 I'm sure you guys know by now they infamously released,
00:30:15.020 it's not even a letter, it's a call to arms.
00:30:17.380 By the second, of course, we have to clarify that.
00:30:20.620 The second would-be Trump assassin Ryan Ruth, I was gonna say of Hawaii, 0.75
00:30:25.180 but maybe we should say of Ukraine.
00:30:27.720 But we're joined now by Mike Benz because there's a lot of developments on that front.
00:30:32.220 I know we sort of started getting into it yesterday.
00:30:34.600 This guy who apparently has an $150,000 bounty,
00:30:37.640 yet he's on air talking to Newsweek Romania groveling for $5 from his family.
00:30:42.640 If there's anyone who can make it make sense, as Stephen K. Bannon would say,
00:30:46.140 it would probably be you, Mike Benz.
00:30:47.520 So walk us through the latest on this, dude.
00:30:50.100 Well, the latest is that the Justice Department, as you noted,
00:30:53.400 posted one page of the letter in his own handwriting
00:30:57.100 calling for an $150,000 bounty on Donald Trump's head 0.98
00:31:02.380 if he failed in his mission to kill Trump. 0.77
00:31:04.540 Of course, this comes on the heels of multiple cases just in this past term
00:31:09.560 where the FBI has deliberately blocked the disclosure of manifestos.
00:31:14.740 Famously, the transgender school shooter, 1.00
00:31:18.000 who everyone knew the manifesto would reveal a sort of radical left-wing motivation
00:31:25.620 that would sort of turn her murder streak into a similar one 1.00
00:31:29.420 that was done on the right-wing side over things like the Christchurch shooting.
00:31:33.260 Because everyone knew that manifesto would be so damning politically to the regime in power,
00:31:39.260 the FBI blocked disclosure of it, intervened on a local case,
00:31:44.320 threatened the journalist Michael P. Leahy at the Tennessee Star
00:31:47.500 with repercussions if they proceeded to publish it.
00:31:51.620 The judge in the case actually threatened the journalist with jail time,
00:31:57.020 and the FBI's official, the Justice Department's official statement on it
00:32:01.300 was that one of the reasons they did not want to disclose it
00:32:05.180 is because misinformation online could circulate about the motives
00:32:09.760 if people were allowed to read the person's direct first-hand testimony
00:32:15.100 in the form of that manifesto.
00:32:16.920 So given that that is the new rule at the Justice Department,
00:32:21.460 nobody can know anything about what the actual suspect in the case thinks
00:32:27.100 or what was driving them or what they wrote in their own writings,
00:32:31.880 the selective disclosure of this and only this data point is frankly astounding.
00:32:38.060 It's a scandal.
00:32:40.160 This is just – it almost reads like it's the Justice Department
00:32:43.700 wanting to publicize that $150,000 will float magically into the bank account
00:32:50.420 of anyone who carries out the deed that Ryan indeed did fail to get done.
00:32:58.480 Then you have the strange question of, well, where does that $150,000 come from?
00:33:02.860 This is a guy who said at his – when he was taken into custody that he only had –
00:33:09.080 he basically had no assets to his name.
00:33:10.900 All he owned were a couple of trucks with Biden-Harris bumper stickers on them,
00:33:14.620 each worth about $1,000.
00:33:17.180 But then you have the fact that this guy was jet-setting around the world
00:33:20.320 from Taiwan to Turkey to Ukraine to Poland.
00:33:24.720 Every one of those plane tickets cost more than $1,000.
00:33:28.140 And you have this strange fact that this guy had been protected his entire life.
00:33:31.940 He had 74 arrests or criminal charges just in the past two decades.
00:33:36.520 Some of those are very serious felonies, including weapons –
00:33:39.180 possession of weapons of mass destruction, hit-and-run, grand larceny,
00:33:44.580 and yet never spent a day in jail.
00:33:46.820 You have the fact that a former CIA targeting analyst
00:33:50.400 ended up putting out a bolo on him, maybe on the lookout
00:33:54.600 for all the strange activities he was doing,
00:33:57.360 recruiting terrorists to come to help the CIA's war in Ukraine.
00:34:01.940 Then you had the Customs and Border Patrol incident in June of last year
00:34:06.460 where when Routh was returning home from this world tour
00:34:11.300 of terrorist recruitment operations,
00:34:13.660 the Customs and Border Patrol flagged him
00:34:15.800 and for suspicious activity,
00:34:18.560 they directed him to HSI, Homeland Security Investigations,
00:34:23.580 the very peculiar, disturbing branch of the Department of Homeland Security
00:34:29.440 that played a major role in the events of the Fed's erection on January 6th,
00:34:33.480 as well as in the first assassination attempt.
00:34:37.020 HSI was recruiting people from the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and the Three Percenters 1.00
00:34:40.980 deep in the informants and in the group chats of January 6th people.
00:34:45.800 It was – DHS was training at the very shooting range that Thomas Crooks was practicing his gunshots at,
00:34:55.740 which raises the question of whether HSI had informants in the network around Thomas Crooks,
00:35:02.780 given that they went to the same gun shooting range.
00:35:05.860 And then you had the strange fact on the Fed's nation attempt number one
00:35:09.660 where Secret Service magically had a reduced presence at the Butler rally
00:35:15.820 because of what we were told was the NATO summit going on,
00:35:19.120 even though that had ended three days earlier,
00:35:21.260 and the Joe Biden trip abroad requiring Secret Service.
00:35:25.100 And so who topped up the Secret Service that day in order to provide that protection?
00:35:31.260 Well, it was HSI, the very same branch that's responsible for recruiting informants.
00:35:36.560 So it would have been very easy for a rogue cell within HSI to have run the whole thing top to bottom
00:35:41.040 and basically kept either Secret Service out of the loop
00:35:45.440 or the very, very select handful of people in Secret Service on a need-to-know
00:35:52.320 so that someone in their informant network could go and kill Donald Trump
00:35:56.320 or someone that the informants may have had knowledge of.
00:35:58.920 And then you have this case in Customs and Border Patrol once again with HSI in Ryan Routh
00:36:06.040 where when he was returning to Hawaii from his international travels,
00:36:11.300 he was flagged by Customs and Border Patrol.
00:36:13.240 They flagged him as a suspicious individual to HSI.
00:36:17.860 And in their own memo, they wrote,
00:36:19.580 HSI refused to investigate, which is also a very interesting choice of words.
00:36:24.220 They didn't say declined to investigate or they neglected to investigate.
00:36:28.280 They said they refused, would not take the case.
00:36:32.420 So what was Routh doing?
00:36:34.440 That he was protected from the Justice Department,
00:36:37.000 protected from a, you know, a bolo on him,
00:36:39.820 protected from CB, Customs and Border Patrol,
00:36:42.320 and protected from HSI itself.
00:36:46.000 But what's very curious in that memo is
00:36:47.540 they asked Routh the same question.
00:36:50.560 How did he get the money to do all this?
00:36:54.200 And he said that he was funded by his wife.
00:36:57.520 Now, what's very curious about that is Matt Gaetz actually just put out something a few days ago,
00:37:02.440 which I think has not gotten enough attention.
00:37:05.680 And this is on Matt Gaetz's website.
00:37:07.740 I'm not making this allegation about Routh's wife.
00:37:09.940 I'm simply passing on what Matt Gaetz has provided.
00:37:15.820 And it's titled,
00:37:16.640 The Coincidences Continue,
00:37:17.840 New Details About Would-Be Assassin Ryan Routh's Wife, Kathleen Schaffer.
00:37:22.980 And I'm just going to read this.
00:37:24.660 It says,
00:37:25.120 Other citizens have connected Schaffer to a LinkedIn page of someone who shares her name,
00:37:30.920 fits her profile, and lives in Hawaii.
00:37:33.080 If Schaffer is the same woman in the LinkedIn account,
00:37:35.100 she's employed by a huge international publicly traded company called Maximus Corporation,
00:37:39.980 which claims to have trained CDC workers in administering COVID shots,
00:37:43.720 and also brags about helping the U.S. Department of Defense modernize its technology systems.
00:37:50.960 According to ChatGBT,
00:37:52.780 Maximus Corporation has significant connections to the U.S. security state.
00:37:57.360 It also is headquartered just a few miles away from the CI's Langley, Virginia headquarters.
00:38:03.440 So if he's saying,
00:38:05.280 if he's telling officials,
00:38:07.260 Customs and Border Patrol,
00:38:08.540 that the wife is effectively the bag man,
00:38:11.220 because the wife allegedly also set up the slick website 1.00
00:38:15.180 and edited the,
00:38:17.360 edited Routh's book,
00:38:20.080 ran the GoFundMe financial fundraising
00:38:22.980 for the Ukraine recruitment crusade.
00:38:26.280 So if the wife is bankrolling this whole thing, 1.00
00:38:28.660 and the wife is working for a
00:38:30.660 U.S. Department of Defense contractor
00:38:33.840 located right next to CIA headquarters,
00:38:37.200 or very close proximity,
00:38:39.060 the question is,
00:38:40.160 well,
00:38:40.820 how loaded is this wife? 1.00
00:38:42.820 Where did,
00:38:43.360 where did she get the money from?
00:38:45.460 I think deep dive research needs to be done
00:38:50.140 on just how connected the family is
00:38:52.980 to the U.S. Defense Department,
00:38:55.000 given that it's these very defense officials
00:38:57.920 and generals
00:38:58.740 who have been behind every part of the coup against Trump
00:39:01.680 since day one,
00:39:03.300 primarily because of his opposition to their war agenda.
00:39:06.080 Of course,
00:39:08.180 most notoriously the 51 intel officials
00:39:10.720 who said the Hunter Biden hard drive
00:39:12.400 was Russian disinformation.
00:39:13.640 I'm pretty sure it started,
00:39:14.600 what was it,
00:39:15.360 four anonymous sources
00:39:16.440 trying to smear President Trump
00:39:18.000 as a Russian asset.
00:39:19.000 Then it became the 51 intel officers,
00:39:20.900 and now it's the, what,
00:39:21.960 741 national security officials.
00:39:24.700 It shows you how truly desperate they are,
00:39:26.900 but obviously they're gonna try to crack down
00:39:28.640 and censor this story. 0.97
00:39:30.160 I wanna play a clip,
00:39:31.360 but just for the audience,
00:39:32.540 I just wanna tease this for you.
00:39:34.180 I think PBS last week
00:39:36.540 put out what has to be
00:39:37.900 some of the most mind-boggling,
00:39:40.960 concerning programming
00:39:42.040 that I have seen as of late,
00:39:43.500 and it's a 2024 election day
00:39:45.720 kind of game plan scenario
00:39:48.080 where, of course,
00:39:49.480 they're melting down about MAGA,
00:39:51.280 but they have a very interesting moment
00:39:53.000 where they admit to wanting
00:39:54.220 to reduce the rate of content
00:39:56.140 that shows election fraud,
00:39:58.220 even bringing in fact checkers again.
00:40:00.160 It's the old director of public policy
00:40:01.740 for Facebook that they have
00:40:02.940 working in the simulation,
00:40:04.700 and the simulation should not just be mocked.
00:40:06.760 The final kind of episode of it
00:40:08.920 actually talks about people,
00:40:10.880 you know, going and engaging
00:40:12.120 in armed revolution
00:40:13.360 to take back election results.
00:40:15.380 It's truly insane.
00:40:17.080 I wanna roll this clip,
00:40:18.040 and on the other side, Mike,
00:40:19.260 we'll get your reaction to it,
00:40:20.720 especially with interesting news
00:40:21.980 regarding Soros and the FCC today.
00:40:23.900 Denver, let's roll it.
00:40:24.940 Katie, you are the head of trust and safety
00:40:28.100 at LookQuick,
00:40:30.700 the nation's premier social media company.
00:40:33.320 Your job is to monitor disinformation
00:40:36.060 that may be circulating on your platform.
00:40:40.240 So you're aware of this video.
00:40:41.380 It's now one o'clock,
00:40:43.680 700,000 views.
00:40:45.240 What are you doing about it?
00:40:46.880 So there's a couple of steps
00:40:47.880 we will have probably already,
00:40:49.140 we will have already taken
00:40:50.300 even before we get a phone call from anybody.
00:40:53.040 We have folks from our operations teams,
00:40:55.780 our policy teams, product teams
00:40:57.400 who are monitoring the platform
00:40:58.940 for this type of content.
00:41:00.360 And in fact, you have a phone call.
00:41:02.480 Yes.
00:41:03.060 And maybe you should talk to
00:41:04.860 Ms. Biddecoffer about this.
00:41:07.220 Sure.
00:41:08.020 Yeah.
00:41:08.400 Hi.
00:41:08.860 I wonder if you've seen this AI-enhanced video
00:41:11.940 where people are manipulating a poll.
00:41:15.000 It looks like poll workers 0.97
00:41:16.080 manipulating a voter to vote
00:41:17.420 for the incumbent party.
00:41:18.720 And given the way
00:41:20.240 the information will spread,
00:41:21.480 we're deeply concerned
00:41:23.060 that this is going to cause election violence.
00:41:25.680 Yeah.
00:41:25.920 Thanks for flagging it for us.
00:41:26.980 So we've already flagged it for fact checkers.
00:41:28.640 They're currently looking into it.
00:41:30.020 And then we also have our product teams
00:41:31.420 currently running it through our tools
00:41:32.880 to determine if it's AI.
00:41:34.580 We haven't been able to have
00:41:35.680 a conclusive answer on that yet
00:41:37.480 to put a label on it.
00:41:38.580 Well, do you wait until the shooter
00:41:40.580 is done shooting up a church
00:41:42.160 to snap the Facebook Live off?
00:41:45.120 No.
00:41:45.620 In fact, we've actually reduced the reach
00:41:47.040 so that less people are seeing it
00:41:48.440 in their feed
00:41:49.040 while we're waiting for the fact checkers
00:41:50.480 in order to determine
00:41:51.340 whether this is true or not.
00:41:52.880 We're also reaching out
00:41:53.620 to the Secretary of State's office
00:41:54.900 and local law enforcement
00:41:55.940 to see if we can get confirmation
00:41:57.320 about what might be happening.
00:41:59.400 Ms. Harbath, you mentioned
00:42:00.780 your tools that you have,
00:42:03.880 your AI tools for detecting
00:42:05.340 whether videos have been manipulated.
00:42:08.720 AI says it's very likely
00:42:11.080 that the enhanced audio is fake,
00:42:14.580 but the video itself is real.
00:42:18.200 We have to be careful
00:42:19.160 because we have two things
00:42:20.360 happening here at once
00:42:21.260 in the same piece of content.
00:42:22.940 We have real video and fake audio.
00:42:25.980 A fact checker will mark it as false
00:42:28.160 or partially false,
00:42:29.380 and then we would be able
00:42:30.460 to put a label on it
00:42:31.580 saying it's been marked
00:42:32.320 as partially false.
00:42:33.360 So that way,
00:42:34.300 we are not trampling on,
00:42:36.240 A, the speech of the person
00:42:38.840 who posted it.
00:42:40.000 We are not misleading voters
00:42:42.180 about the fact that
00:42:43.300 parts of it are true,
00:42:45.220 even though parts of it are false.
00:42:46.620 So we're trying to do our best
00:42:47.920 to give them context
00:42:48.880 while making sure
00:42:49.940 less people see it
00:42:50.880 so that it,
00:42:51.680 less confusion.
00:42:52.840 Wow.
00:42:54.560 That not one of the most
00:42:55.700 unsettling things
00:42:56.740 you've ever seen.
00:42:57.620 I don't know about you,
00:42:58.240 it gives me like purge vibes,
00:43:00.140 but instead of killing people,
00:43:01.700 they're talking about fact-checking,
00:43:03.620 although I'm sure
00:43:04.780 we're not too far from.
00:43:06.100 I want to warn you
00:43:06.800 of a huge change
00:43:07.820 that could be coming
00:43:08.600 to our money
00:43:09.840 and our bank accounts.
00:43:11.360 First, think back to 9-11,
00:43:12.880 shortly after the government
00:43:13.980 pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:43:15.380 This gave the government
00:43:16.640 power to spy on
00:43:17.760 innocent Americans
00:43:18.720 by monitoring our phone
00:43:20.500 and email
00:43:21.120 and tracking our movement
00:43:22.440 across the internet.
00:43:24.240 Now, Jim Rickards,
00:43:25.440 editor of the independent
00:43:26.460 financial newsletter
00:43:27.500 Strategic Intelligence
00:43:28.800 and New York Times
00:43:29.900 bestselling author,
00:43:31.340 is warning about
00:43:32.080 a coming event
00:43:33.000 that could elevate
00:43:34.140 this governmental surveillance
00:43:35.380 to a terrifying new level.
00:43:37.440 In fact,
00:43:38.440 some of the guests
00:43:39.100 I've had on The War Room
00:43:39.980 believe that the government
00:43:41.040 will soon expand their powers
00:43:42.860 to track our every move.
00:43:44.840 If we say
00:43:45.740 the wrong things
00:43:46.700 on social media,
00:43:47.840 donate to the wrong causes,
00:43:49.480 buy firearms,
00:43:50.440 or even vote MAGA,
00:43:51.880 the government may be able
00:43:53.200 to shut us out
00:43:54.080 of our bank accounts.
00:43:55.860 I can't say for sure
00:43:57.040 if this will happen,
00:43:58.460 but it's an interesting
00:43:59.660 and dire warning.
00:44:01.400 Fortunately,
00:44:01.900 Jim Rickards,
00:44:02.620 an American patriot
00:44:03.560 and friend of mine,
00:44:04.400 has made it his mission
00:44:05.500 to educate us
00:44:06.440 on what he believes
00:44:07.660 is coming
00:44:08.140 and how to protect yourself
00:44:09.940 from the possibility
00:44:11.420 of programmable money.
00:44:13.720 Watch Jim's warning video
00:44:15.500 now before it's censored
00:44:17.580 like I've been in the past.
00:44:19.500 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:44:21.500 That's RickardsWarRoom.com
00:44:23.240 now to see the video.
00:44:25.860 Here's your host,
00:44:27.300 Stephen K. Band.
00:44:28.300 Welcome back to the War Room.
00:44:35.780 It's SLNT.com
00:44:37.600 slash Bannon
00:44:38.320 to get your Faraday bags,
00:44:39.680 which I think you're definitely
00:44:40.500 going to want to get
00:44:41.540 after that clip
00:44:42.440 that we just played.
00:44:43.200 My only regret
00:44:43.840 is that we should have
00:44:44.560 had the camera come back
00:44:45.440 to Mike Benz too
00:44:46.160 because I would have loved
00:44:46.840 to see your jaw drop
00:44:48.620 in reaction to that clip.
00:44:49.800 But Mike,
00:44:50.160 why don't you walk us
00:44:50.880 through your thoughts?
00:44:52.800 My jaw didn't drop
00:44:53.900 at all actually
00:44:54.680 because,
00:44:55.580 and I'm glad
00:44:56.200 that everyone else's did
00:44:57.220 because this is the reaction,
00:44:59.620 this is the appropriate reaction,
00:45:01.040 especially if you're seeing
00:45:01.720 this for the first time.
00:45:03.160 The speaker there
00:45:03.980 was Katie Harbath,
00:45:04.960 who is an extremely
00:45:06.940 senior player
00:45:08.600 in censorship industry,
00:45:11.000 policy coordination,
00:45:12.080 and a major actor
00:45:14.280 who runs through
00:45:15.300 all these censorship networks.
00:45:17.100 I've written about Katie Harbath
00:45:19.120 many, many times before.
00:45:20.660 I just tagged you on X.
00:45:22.360 If anyone wants to go
00:45:23.020 to at Mike Benz cyber,
00:45:24.460 I just re-upped this thread
00:45:25.800 to the top of my feed
00:45:28.300 so everyone can see it immediately.
00:45:29.900 It's about 20 tweets
00:45:31.400 in this thread
00:45:31.880 that goes through
00:45:32.760 the backstory on all this.
00:45:34.160 So Katie Harbath
00:45:34.680 is a senior fellow
00:45:38.720 at the Atlantic Council's
00:45:41.460 Digital Forensics Research Lab,
00:45:43.040 which is the top censorship
00:45:44.840 coordinating conduit
00:45:46.420 that connects NATO
00:45:47.860 censorship priorities
00:45:48.960 to the censorship laws
00:45:50.980 and censorship regulations
00:45:53.480 and censorship policies,
00:45:55.360 both at the government
00:45:56.020 and the tech platform level.
00:45:58.800 So the Atlantic Council
00:46:00.180 has seven number one
00:46:01.560 former heads of the CIA
00:46:02.860 on its board of directors.
00:46:04.680 Those are Michael Hayden,
00:46:07.300 General Michael V. Hayden,
00:46:08.680 former head of the CIA,
00:46:09.680 NSA, and four-star general,
00:46:10.700 James Woolsey,
00:46:11.420 Leon Panetta,
00:46:12.140 David Petraeus,
00:46:12.880 Michael Morrell,
00:46:14.080 William Webster,
00:46:14.760 and Robert Gates.
00:46:15.640 So seven CIA directors,
00:46:17.140 all on the board of directors
00:46:18.560 of the place where she works,
00:46:21.180 one of the places
00:46:21.760 where she's a senior fellow.
00:46:23.420 The Atlantic Council
00:46:24.300 also gets annual funding
00:46:25.480 every year
00:46:26.040 from the State Department.
00:46:27.280 They get a million dollars
00:46:28.080 a year from the State Department,
00:46:29.100 so we are paying for this.
00:46:31.080 It gets annual funding
00:46:32.880 from all four branches
00:46:33.840 of the U.S. military
00:46:34.780 as well as CIA cutouts
00:46:36.960 like the National Endowment
00:46:37.760 for Democracy,
00:46:38.480 which happens to be
00:46:39.240 another CIA cutout
00:46:41.800 and CIA conduit
00:46:43.560 that Katie Harbath advises.
00:46:46.800 She is an advisor
00:46:47.740 to the International
00:46:48.400 Republican Institute,
00:46:49.340 which is the GOP branch
00:46:52.200 of the CIA.
00:46:53.660 The National Endowment
00:46:54.200 for Democracy,
00:46:55.420 which houses
00:46:56.240 the International
00:46:56.940 Republican Institute,
00:46:57.980 was created in a letter
00:46:59.280 from the CIA director,
00:47:00.860 William Casey,
00:47:01.600 in 1983
00:47:02.360 when the Reagan administration
00:47:04.160 was complaining
00:47:05.140 that the CIA
00:47:05.900 had lost too much power
00:47:07.180 under the Jimmy Carter
00:47:08.140 administration
00:47:08.820 and wanted a backdoor way 0.98
00:47:10.540 to get it back
00:47:11.420 by outsourcing it
00:47:13.120 and giving direction
00:47:14.100 to a cutout
00:47:15.440 known as
00:47:15.820 the National Endowment
00:47:16.380 for Democracy,
00:47:17.320 which has two spindle branches.
00:47:18.720 One of them
00:47:19.220 is the NDI,
00:47:20.680 National Democratic Institute.
00:47:22.780 Magically,
00:47:23.300 Hunter Biden
00:47:23.840 was on the chairman's
00:47:24.820 advisory board
00:47:25.580 of that one.
00:47:26.720 Let you fill in the blanks
00:47:28.380 of what that means.
00:47:29.660 And then Katie Harbath
00:47:30.960 is an advisor
00:47:33.500 to the International
00:47:34.860 Republican Institute,
00:47:35.660 the CIA.
00:47:36.640 So she,
00:47:38.480 you know,
00:47:38.660 the introduction
00:47:39.480 of her being
00:47:40.240 the former public policy
00:47:42.160 director at Facebook,
00:47:43.260 public policy
00:47:43.900 is where censorship
00:47:44.540 policies are folded
00:47:45.460 under at YouTube,
00:47:46.820 at Facebook,
00:47:48.340 on X,
00:47:49.300 because censorship
00:47:50.440 policies are part
00:47:51.500 of the collective
00:47:53.160 set of policies
00:47:53.980 that the public policy
00:47:54.840 director is in charge of.
00:47:56.160 So after leaving Facebook,
00:47:57.340 she's now in the
00:47:58.060 so-called civil society space
00:47:59.660 where she effectively 0.95
00:48:00.800 serves as a back channel
00:48:02.140 for the intelligence state
00:48:03.500 and for the State Department
00:48:05.280 and for the foreign policy
00:48:08.200 establishment
00:48:08.760 in order to crush
00:48:10.320 the political rise
00:48:11.380 of any domestic populist
00:48:12.960 candidate,
00:48:13.520 Donald Trump here
00:48:14.120 in the U.S.,
00:48:15.320 Bolsonaro in Brazil,
00:48:17.380 Nigel Farage in the U.K.,
00:48:19.900 Matteo Salvini in Italy,
00:48:21.520 Marine Le Pen in France.
00:48:22.400 You can spin the globe
00:48:23.180 and predict exactly
00:48:25.260 what Katie Harbath
00:48:26.980 and her colleagues
00:48:28.400 will disproportionately censor
00:48:31.100 in the name of
00:48:31.880 saving democracy
00:48:33.000 and stamping out
00:48:34.000 domestic populism.
00:48:35.760 Now,
00:48:36.180 Katie Harbath also held
00:48:37.820 many of these simulations
00:48:39.280 before,
00:48:40.240 including one directly
00:48:41.460 with Yul Roth.
00:48:43.780 She,
00:48:44.500 my foundation,
00:48:45.680 Foundation for Freedom Online,
00:48:46.820 anyone can look up
00:48:47.560 this article
00:48:49.060 on our foundation's website.
00:48:52.280 It's called,
00:48:54.280 the title of it
00:48:55.120 is Panic Responsibly.
00:48:56.740 Yul Roth Censorship Panel
00:48:57.960 Laments Loss of Control
00:48:59.060 Over 2024 Elections.
00:49:00.840 And you will see
00:49:01.560 many clips
00:49:02.840 of Katie Harbath
00:49:04.380 and Yul Roth together.
00:49:06.880 This is,
00:49:07.740 this was last year,
00:49:09.140 complaining about
00:49:10.460 Elon Musk's acquisition
00:49:11.780 of X 0.61
00:49:12.320 and how it undermines
00:49:13.360 the years of relationships
00:49:15.140 it took them
00:49:16.140 to carefully
00:49:17.020 and meticulously
00:49:18.080 build up
00:49:18.880 within X
00:49:20.620 and within Facebook
00:49:21.860 because they were concerned
00:49:22.540 that Mark Zuckerberg
00:49:23.440 was actually doing
00:49:25.020 a sort of covert
00:49:26.100 mini version
00:49:27.120 of what Elon was doing,
00:49:29.300 which is why
00:49:30.140 it was no surprise to me
00:49:31.140 when Mark Zuckerberg
00:49:31.920 came out with that letter
00:49:32.800 because I saw
00:49:33.600 Katie Harbath
00:49:34.480 and her friends
00:49:35.640 Yul Roth
00:49:36.300 and many others
00:49:37.360 complaining about
00:49:38.980 Mark Zuckerberg
00:49:39.860 reversing the censorship
00:49:41.320 tentacles
00:49:41.900 that they had put
00:49:42.700 into the platforms.
00:49:43.820 But they've been hosting
00:49:44.700 these seminars
00:49:45.440 everywhere.
00:49:46.880 They've been doing this
00:49:47.600 virtually every month
00:49:48.560 for the past 18 months.
00:49:49.920 So I'm glad that some of these
00:49:51.040 are now getting viral attention.
00:49:53.620 Mike Benz,
00:49:54.620 as always,
00:49:55.420 coming in hot.
00:49:56.160 If people want to follow you,
00:49:57.600 support the foundation
00:49:58.640 and everything you're doing there,
00:50:00.060 where can people go
00:50:00.720 to do all that?
00:50:02.260 Follow me on X
00:50:03.460 and if you want extra,
00:50:04.480 I do subscriber lectures
00:50:05.520 for my X subscribers
00:50:07.040 every week.
00:50:09.440 Sure,
00:50:09.960 a lot of misinformation
00:50:10.840 gets passed around there,
00:50:13.920 right?
00:50:14.920 Mike Benz,
00:50:15.680 we'll have you back on soon.
00:50:17.200 Now,
00:50:17.580 another Mike
00:50:18.940 that we love
00:50:19.620 in the War Room,
00:50:20.540 Mike Lindell,
00:50:21.320 joins us now.
00:50:22.780 Mike, 0.98
00:50:23.220 hit us, 0.85
00:50:23.720 you got a minute,
00:50:24.860 hit us with the best deals
00:50:26.040 that the War Room Posse has.
00:50:28.140 Okay,
00:50:28.660 everybody,
00:50:29.320 this is the one
00:50:30.080 they're still attacking me for
00:50:31.560 in the media
00:50:32.140 because I use 88
00:50:33.660 in the prices
00:50:34.840 and it's like Walmart does,
00:50:37.060 but they've attacked us
00:50:37.980 because I launched it here
00:50:39.780 on the War Room.
00:50:40.740 This is the classic collection,
00:50:42.740 the queen size,
00:50:43.840 1888,
00:50:45.220 regular 69.88.
00:50:46.860 Remember,
00:50:47.360 these were in retail stores.
00:50:48.980 They all canceled.
00:50:50.280 Queen size,
00:50:51.100 1888,
00:50:51.940 king size,
00:50:52.660 a dollar more,
00:50:53.900 1988,
00:50:55.360 the body pillows,
00:50:56.420 29.88,
00:50:57.540 and the multi-use
00:50:58.540 my pillows,
00:50:59.240 only 9.88.
00:51:00.140 Here's the best part,

00:51:28.180 the mattress toppers,
00:51:29.260 all these big items.
00:51:30.840 That's what they're trying
00:51:31.680 to destroy our country
00:51:32.820 with the shipping prices.
00:51:34.340 And because we have
00:51:35.680 no mailman,
00:51:36.560 we're giving the savings
00:51:37.560 to the War Room Posse.
00:51:38.980 So you guys get all these,

00:51:49.860 Mike Liddell,
00:51:50.400 thank you so much
00:51:51.000 for joining us.
00:51:51.560 We'll have you back on soon.
00:51:52.720 And War Room Posse, 0.73
00:51:53.600 it's 202-225-3121.
00:51:58.340 They say we're a threat
00:51:59.380 to democracy.
00:52:00.660 Well, if democracy
00:52:01.520 is people like
00:52:02.380 Speaker Mike Johnson
00:52:03.480 wanting to serve
00:52:04.280 as paymasters
00:52:05.280 and lobbyists
00:52:06.320 and donors
00:52:07.020 and having the nerve
00:52:08.120 to lie to you,
00:52:09.140 to your face about it,
00:52:10.500 then yeah,
00:52:11.180 you are right.
00:52:11.940 We are a threat
00:52:12.560 to that version of democracy.
00:52:15.260 Metaphorically.
00:52:16.460 202-225-3121.
00:52:18.920 You know the drill.
00:52:19.560 I'll see you guys
00:52:20.000 back here tomorrow.
00:52:20.680 Do you ever think,
00:52:26.580 how can I work this hard
00:52:27.920 and still be in debt?
00:52:30.300 The piles of overdue bills,
00:52:31.740 the threatening phone calls
00:52:32.860 and never having money
00:52:33.980 to do anything.
00:52:35.160 It just won't stop.
00:52:37.300 You're trapped in debt.
00:52:39.220 Done With Debt
00:52:39.760 is the way out.
00:52:40.720 They've developed

00:52:46.560 stands between you
00:52:47.580 and harassing bill collectors.
00:52:48.820 They tirelessly negotiate
00:52:50.920 with your creditors
00:52:52.020 to lower
00:52:52.540 or even forgive
00:52:53.700 what you owe.
00:52:55.280 And they do it all
00:52:56.180 without bankruptcy
00:52:57.080 or new additional loans.
00:52:59.820 As one client raved,
00:53:01.440 quote,
00:53:01.940 our phone call
00:53:02.780 saved us a fortune.
00:53:04.420 I wish we did this
00:53:05.480 long ago.
00:53:07.000 End quote.
00:53:08.160 Bottom line,

00:53:10.320 has unique strategies
00:53:11.640 to get you out of debt

00:53:41.980 Action, action, action.
00:53:43.280 Hey, War Room.
00:53:45.680 Hope you're all doing well.
00:53:46.800 My name is Trevor Comstock.
00:53:48.200 I'm one of the co-creators
00:53:49.080 of Sacred Human
00:53:49.840 and I wanted to share
00:53:51.120 just a little bit more
00:53:51.940 about our brand
00:53:52.520 for those who may not
00:53:53.300 know of us yet.
00:53:54.700 But about six months ago,
00:53:55.940 we decided to launch
00:53:57.080 Sacred Human
00:53:57.740 with really the simple mission
00:53:59.420 being to provide
00:54:00.660 American-made natural supplements
00:54:02.740 without all the
00:54:04.140 artificial nonsense.
00:54:05.880 So, unfortunately,
00:54:06.980 as many of you know,
00:54:08.320 a lot of these big
00:54:09.100 corporate supplements
00:54:09.860 will include things
00:54:10.720 like preservatives,
00:54:12.100 artificial ingredients,
00:54:13.040 and other additives
00:54:14.360 that really aren't
00:54:15.020 benefiting your health.
00:54:16.640 So, that's why
00:54:17.440 we created Sacred Human,
00:54:18.700 really trying to fill
00:54:19.400 this gap of quality supplements
00:54:20.980 and, of course,
00:54:22.240 the beef liver
00:54:22.800 being our flagship product.
00:54:24.820 For those who don't know,
00:54:26.240 beef liver is loaded
00:54:27.440 with highly bioavailable
00:54:28.580 ingredients such as
00:54:29.800 vitamin A, B12, zinc,
00:54:32.460 CoQ10, etc.
00:54:34.360 And because it is
00:54:35.580 100% grass-fed
00:54:37.080 and natural,
00:54:38.280 your body is able
00:54:38.920 to absorb these nutrients
00:54:40.240 far better than taking
00:54:41.320 any other synthetic
00:54:42.700 multivitamin
00:54:43.500 or any other
00:54:44.980 synthetic vitamin
00:54:45.700 in general.
00:54:46.980 So, we have some
00:54:47.960 other amazing products,
00:54:48.960 but if you'd like
00:54:49.440 to check us out,
00:54:50.200 you can go to

00:54:57.260 Yes, heart disease
00:54:57.900 is the number one killer
00:54:58.860 every year,

00:55:03.840 high blood pressure,
00:55:04.720 bad cholesterol,
00:55:05.420 diabetes,
00:55:05.940 all of it affects our heart.
00:55:08.360 A healthy heart is key
00:55:09.600 to being energetic
00:55:11.360 as we get older.
00:55:12.640 It is never too early
00:55:14.060 to take care of your heart.
00:55:17.000 You see,
00:55:17.420 heart disease sneaks up on us.
00:55:19.060 You can start in your 30s
00:55:20.160 and when this happens,
00:55:20.980 you're at serious risk
00:55:21.620 by the time you turn 60.
00:55:22.820 If you want to take care
