Summary

On today's show, Alex Blumberg and John Ava nonchalantly discuss the idea that President Joe Biden should pardon some of President Trump's political enemies. They discuss why this is a good idea, why it's a bad idea, and why it should happen.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 that President Biden is reportedly considering preemptive pardons of Trump's political enemies,
00:00:05.020 maybe on January 19th or 20th. What's your feeling about that?
00:00:12.120 I, I gotta say, I feel like I'm out of step with most of the commentariat on this because
00:00:18.280 from the very beginning, from the first time that was first reported, I just felt like,
00:00:23.000 oh yeah, definitely. You should do that. And I know it's not that simple. And I know that I
00:00:29.900 understand the arguments against it, which is as Biden himself has articulated, like these people
00:00:35.360 have done nothing wrong. Why do they need a pardon? I also understand like, oh, if you give these
00:00:40.000 pardons, then that will give you less of a moral leg to stand on for criticizing Trump's abuse of
00:00:46.120 the pardon power. Trump is already very happy abusing the pardon power. Trump gave a pardon to
00:00:51.380 Jared Kushner's dad and now is making him ambassador to France. Like the idea that,
00:00:56.240 that Trump is looking for like other recent presidents to decide what's morally and politically
00:01:02.740 acceptable on when it comes to pardons is ridiculous. He pardoned Paul Manafort. He,
00:01:07.980 you know, interfered in, in, in Roger Stone sentencing and, and got Michael Flynn's plea over it. I mean,
00:01:13.220 the guy, anyway, um, the idea that there's any sort of like moral calculus that involves a
00:01:20.800 comparison of Donald Trump to anybody on these things, I just think is not living in reality.
00:01:27.380 And I think that Biden realistically can count on the fact that Trump is not going to act in good
00:01:34.100 faith, that if he's going to put in an attorney general who at the Republican national convention
00:01:38.860 said, yeah, lock her up. I love that. If he's going to put somebody like cash QAnon Patel and the head
00:01:45.380 of the FBI, who says he's going to abolish the FBI and turn it into a museum of the deep state.
00:01:49.860 I mean, yeah, you're not talking about a good faith cast of characters who's planning on
00:01:55.640 using the criminal justice system in a way that, you know, meets our historical standards for what
00:02:03.040 counts as, as, as serious and, and well-predicated action. And so, yeah, he should protect people who
00:02:08.540 don't deserve to be abused with that system. And Trump, Trump has been, and Patel has been open
00:02:15.120 enough about, they've been open enough about who exactly they're planning on, on going after.
00:02:20.120 They should just take the entire list of 60 people in Patel's book. And on the basis of the fact that
00:02:25.880 they're in Patel's book, give them all pardons. All the people who Trump has, has threatened on the
00:02:30.140 campaign trial, give them pardons. You're not dealing with somebody who's looking to you to make,
00:02:34.800 you know, fine, morally grained distinctions here about how he's going to use the pardon power based
00:02:40.380 on what you do with it. Just protect people who don't, don't deserve to be destroyed by these
00:02:46.380 people who are promising to do it. I just don't think it's that hard. What do you think about it?
00:02:50.680 What he did in the Oval Office address the other night, what he continuously reiterated in the
00:02:55.700 interview on the excellent interview that Lawrence conducted is that Joe Biden understands this moment
00:03:00.460 and he wants the American people to understand this moment as well. He is not going out, you know,
00:03:05.680 all rainbows and bunnies, as I like to say, and giving a laundry list of all his accomplishments and
00:03:10.120 says, oh, it's going to be all right. He is warning us all that if we do not stand guard,
00:03:14.840 if we do not do something, in the words of, you know, Michelle Obama, this country is going to
00:03:19.140 become something that we do not recognize. And I know some people might say that that's hyperbole,
00:03:23.340 but look around, open your eyes. If there are mass deportation efforts and mass anti-immigrant raids,
00:03:33.920 and they are carried out in the spirit that Stephen Miller and Tom Homan and Donald Trump and J.D.
00:03:39.460 Vance have been talking about for the last few months, and those start, as is being reported
00:03:43.860 today in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere, those start within hours of the inaugural. I think
00:03:48.280 that we are going to see resistance to those things. I think we are going to see communities react to
00:03:54.980 households and businesses being raided and families being torn apart and them trying to build camps to
00:04:02.340 put people in and all of that stuff they say they're going to do. That's going to start,
00:04:05.740 according to recent reporting, within 24 hours of the swearing in. And I think that sort of
00:04:11.380 reactive demonstration we should probably count on. And I think the cities where they're threatening
00:04:17.140 these deportation actions in the first 24 hours, whether it's Chicago or New York or L.A. or Miami
00:04:23.940 or Denver or wherever else they're going to try, I think there is going to be a local reaction.
00:04:28.060 I don't know how well organized or visceral it's going to be, but that could potentially be a big deal.
00:04:34.180 And I think that we should be ready again, sort of ready for anything in terms of what that turns
00:04:38.340 into. I agree with you. And I also think the fact that the White House is floating the notion of
00:04:43.100 potential preemptive pardons right now when it's the closing hours of the Biden administration is a
00:04:47.580 pretty good indicator that it's going to happen or that they're quite close to convincing the
00:04:52.100 president because otherwise, why confirm it? We'll see that.
00:04:55.700 I just, yeah, I mean, I just think like with the January 6th committee, for example, like I'm sure
00:05:01.400 there's distinctions between some of those people wanting the pardon and some of them not. Ignore
00:05:05.780 that. Just give them all the same pardon. Give the same pardon to literally everybody who's in
00:05:10.720 Kash Patel's book, to everybody who Trump has singled out on the campaign trail or that members of his
00:05:16.620 campaign have singled out. Members of the transition have singled out. Just do it. And yeah, people grind
00:05:21.940 their teeth about it, but it will also prevent those people from being destroyed by a bad faith
00:05:27.680 incoming administration that's promising to destroy them for political reasons. And as an abuse of our
00:05:32.680 criminal justice system, you can protect it with the stroke of a pen. You can protect those people
00:05:36.520 with the stroke of a pen. And I just, I just really think that president Biden should do it. And I hope he
00:05:40.420 does. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going to
00:05:51.780 provide the evil on these people. You're going to get a free shot. All these networks lying about the
00:05:58.020 people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've
00:06:02.220 tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to
00:06:05.160 happen. And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish
00:06:12.740 that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task? And what is my purpose?
00:06:19.060 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:06:25.960 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:06:33.300 It's Saturday, 18 January in the year of our Lord, 2025. You're in the War Room on the, I don't
00:06:39.180 know, we got 48 hours. We'll end today and we have 48 hours, a new 48 hours until the inauguration of
00:06:45.860 47th president of the United States. We would love to sit here and tell you about all the, you know,
00:06:50.700 celebrations and it's all rah-rah and everything's great, but we want to give you a reality check of
00:06:55.380 what's going on. Biden, as we've warned about, warned you about for weeks and weeks and weeks,
00:07:02.580 President Biden and that illegitimate regime that's being turfed out. Right now,
00:07:08.020 they're doing everything possible to set traps for President Trump. Just a random occurrence.
00:07:12.120 Janet Yellen has announced that the debt ceiling will be hit, wait for it, at nine o'clock in the
00:07:19.540 morning on Tuesday, the 21st. Isn't that surprising? I'm so shocked. How did that happen with all the
00:07:26.420 possible dates we hit the debt ceiling, the very first full day of President Trump's second term?
00:07:31.660 Also, Biden's out with the executive orders now trying to basically thwart everything on the border
00:07:37.880 immigration. They're still on a tear with the war in Ukraine, the kinetic wars on a tear. And believe
00:07:46.360 me, the ceasefire in Israel and Gaza is 100% the work of President Trump. I understand a lot of people
00:07:53.740 in our audience are not happy with that. A lot of people on the right and Israel are not happy in
00:07:58.020 that. They think she should be able to finish the job. They should be able to finish the job with
00:08:01.880 Hamas and with the Muslim Brotherhood. Right? Correct. But it's still President Trump's work.
00:08:08.500 Biden did nothing on this. It was the pressure of President Trump on B.B. Netanyahu to say,
00:08:12.600 hey, we got to get these hostage exchange. You got to have a ceasefire. At least we got to get some
00:08:16.560 order over there. Everywhere you look, on every one of the verticals we've talked about, on the ending
00:08:21.360 the kinetic part of the Third World War, on taking care of the debt and the deficit and all the
00:08:25.760 problems we have there from how Biden did this to the deportation of, I don't know, 15 million
00:08:32.880 illegal alien invaders. Let's say it's 12. Who knows? It's a massive number. It's going to take
00:08:37.260 years and cost a lot of money. And Biden's not going to help. They're going to be in your face.
00:08:42.080 It was announced. Todd Benson is going to be in a little while. It was announced we're going to have
00:08:45.220 a ice raid in the city of Chicago. So President Trump's going to sit there right now. The mayor of
00:08:51.560 Chicago is going to say, I'm a sanctuary city and you're not going to take any illegal aliens out of
00:08:55.500 here. Tom Homan and Stephen Miller are saying, well, okay, let's just get it done. Let's go
00:09:00.240 ahead and vet that right now, right at the top. And they're going to do it. Now they leaked it to
00:09:07.660 the Wall Street Journal. I don't know why they did that, but they did it. So it's public information.
00:09:12.100 Now Benzman is going to join us. Also the Catholic Church to make sure that the fake Pope has got his
00:09:19.380 hand in this. He's announced he's put for one of the most radical cardinals to be the
00:09:23.920 senior cardinal in the archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
00:09:30.720 Right? I think it's McElroy. And he is an open borders, anti-deportation. They're doing that so
00:09:37.240 that this radical left-wing group that runs the Catholic Church today can have, which by the way,
00:09:44.980 there's going to be a criminal investigation of the invasion on the southern border, a massive
00:09:48.480 criminal investigation on the invasion that's on the border. And when you see that, the Catholic
00:09:53.440 charities are going to be wrapped up in that, right? Are going to be wrapped up in that. So we'll get
00:09:57.560 to see all that later with John Yep's going to join us and hopefully get Liz Yor to join us too. So
00:10:06.440 we're going to confront that today. Across the board, everywhere you see, there's a resistance. Now
00:10:11.940 where you didn't see the resistance, where they had a chance to have the resistance was this week
00:10:17.000 at the cabinet secretaries, the confirmation hearings. Remember the pregame or the preamble
00:10:23.300 to Days of Thunder. What did they do? You had Marco Rubio. Senator Rubio sat there and said,
00:10:30.240 we've got the end of the rules-based order. We're seeing the end of the rules-based order. And quite
00:10:34.640 frankly, the system was gamed. It doesn't work for the United States. It was underwriting. We're
00:10:37.820 going to do away with that. Democrats, crickets. You had Pete Hexas say, we're going to have a
00:10:42.620 revolution in military affairs. Younger officers are going to run this. We're going to reinstall
00:10:47.240 into the Pentagon and to our forces the warrior ethos and how to win wars, not to have these
00:10:52.120 forever wars so the defense contractors make out and everybody else ends up in either Section 60 at
00:10:59.280 Arlington National Cemetery or in a VA hospital or somehow homeless on the side of the road or 26
00:11:05.800 veterans a day with PTSD. We're finished that. Pushback by the Democrats, not one. I don't know,
00:11:12.140 the heritans on the female senators went after him for his personal foibles, right? Nothing about
00:11:19.040 any deep issues. Don't believe me. David Birx of the New York Times goes after basically the
00:11:24.120 Democratic Party for not really laying a glove on Hexas on anything policy. You had Kristi Noem yesterday.
00:11:30.580 They gave up. At the end of it, the senators weren't even there. Kristi Noem, with everything
00:11:35.300 we have, everything that's going on with deportations, everything that's going on with
00:11:39.580 immigration, everything that's going on with security of the border, a couple of feckless
00:11:44.160 questions and then nothing. Scott Besson and Russ Vogt lay out the president's economic plan
00:11:50.460 pretty succinctly about spending, about taxes, about tariffs. You had some yammering by Wyden
00:11:56.980 asking, you know, like some questions you would ask as a freshman in an economics course
00:12:01.820 to a professor about, hey, tell me, I don't understand how this works. I'm trying to say
00:12:06.980 how it works. It didn't work. Wyden from Oregon look terrible. So you've just got consistently
00:12:13.380 across the board, Pam Bondi gives her theory of the case for, you know, for how she's going
00:12:20.760 to run the Justice Department, how she's going to de-weaponize the Justice Department, how you're
00:12:23.900 going to stop, how she's going to stop the weaponization of the Justice Department against,
00:12:29.020 I don't know, 70-year-old women who are now in federal prison for praying the rosy outside
00:12:34.280 of abortion mills. I think there's 26, we'll get this, there's been a petition to President
00:12:39.340 Trump, 26 folks who prayed in front of abortion centers now in federal prison. Many of those
00:12:45.660 people in their late 60s, early 70s. Or how about the intimidation of parents at school
00:12:51.300 board meetings or the conservative traditional Catholics, right, the FBI, the Justice Department.
00:12:57.680 She lays out the whole case for two days, nothing, nothing but crickets. What they're
00:13:02.860 asking her is the 2020 election legitimate, is the 2020 election, and she answered over
00:13:06.900 and over and over again, hey, Biden's president, deal with it. We'll give him the short answer,
00:13:12.920 Biden is illegitimate, okay? Very well known he's illegitimate. It's one of the reasons American
00:13:18.180 people turfed him out because two-thirds of the Republican Party now think he's illegitimate,
00:13:21.520 stole the election. I don't know, 50% of independents, 20, 25% Democrats.
00:13:29.900 The Biden regime is going out like they came in with no class, no class. What they did the
00:13:38.160 first day is they undid all the executive orders that President Trump had that allowed him to have
00:13:43.260 control of the border and make the United States of America a sovereign nation
00:13:48.220 that responds to and supports its citizens, not illegal alien invaders, not particularly 12 to 15
00:13:56.640 million. All over D.C. right now, the game's being played. I got a notice for the Biden regime.
00:14:04.900 Days of thunder means days of thunder. Get your bags packed because you're leaving. All of you,
00:14:08.900 thousands of you are going to be turfed out right after noon on Monday. From U.S. attorneys to guys
00:14:16.260 on boards, you're all gone. So get your bags packed. If you stick around, I hope you face criminal
00:14:24.140 charges. People have had enough of this. You know, you lost. You got blown out. You had every chance.
00:14:30.000 You created the oligarchs. The oligarchs are talking about created on your watch. You were the ones that
00:14:34.460 bailed out Silicon Valley Bank, not President Trump. We had no power for four years. You had
00:14:39.080 all the power. You created the oligarchs to suppress the MAGA movement. And guess what?
00:14:43.940 You lost. And now all you're doing is to have a peaceful transfer. You're fighting and fighting
00:14:49.580 and fighting. It's not acceptable. We're going to go through that in a spirit of celebration
00:14:56.060 and we're short break. You ever think, how can I work this hard and still be in debt?
00:15:04.720 The piles of overdue bills, the threatening phone calls and never having money to do anything. It's
00:15:09.780 just won't stop. You're trapped in debt. Done with debt is the way out. They've developed aggressive
00:15:16.740 new strategies to end your debt permanently. Done with debt stands between you and harassing bill
00:15:22.840 collectors. They tirelessly negotiate with your creditors to lower or even forgive what you owe.
00:15:29.680 And they do it all without bankruptcy or new additional loans. As one client raved,
00:15:35.860 quote, our phone call saved us a fortune. I wish we did this long ago, end quote. Bottom line,
00:15:44.120 done with debt has unique strategies to get you out of debt faster and put more money in your pocket
00:15:49.620 every month. But you need to hurry because some debt solutions are time sensitive and you don't
00:15:55.540 want to miss out. Visit donewithdebt.com. Talk with one of their debt relief strategists for free.
00:16:02.120 Let me repeat that. Go to donewithdebt.com and talk to one of their debt relief strategists for free.
00:16:07.580 You have nothing to lose except your debt. Go to donewithdebt.com. That is donewithdebt.com.
00:16:15.180 Do it today. Action, action, action. Welcome back. You have worked so hard for years in the Trump
00:16:34.140 first term, but the second term, remember, remember 20 January, make sure it's emblazoned on your soul,
00:16:40.980 20 January, 2021. When President Trump went to Andrews Air Force Base, nobody went with him.
00:16:46.740 There's no big farewell. They wanted to get rid of him. They never, ever, ever, ever thought in one
00:16:53.060 billion years that he would return four years later, having swept everything and having kind of
00:17:00.520 ultimate full spectrum, dominance powers we talk about, although the margins are small. We know that,
00:17:05.740 but he's changed the mindset of the country. You can already tell that. We would love to be able to
00:17:11.380 celebrate that. But here in the world, we celebrate that by making sure that his most battle hardened
00:17:16.380 people are ready to go and ready to roll because you can tell behind the scenes, all they're trying
00:17:21.900 to do is resist and stop President Trump on his first, on his first, you know, first hundred days,
00:17:29.420 which will set the template or the tone of this, uh, of this second term.
00:17:36.560 Everything the Biden regime is doing, everything in every area is to thwart
00:17:41.080 President Trump and President Trump's policies. The thing that's kind of most egregious, not the most
00:17:48.060 egregious, but it's offensive. Let's say it's offensive. Is Biden on his farewell address to the
00:17:53.660 nation. I mean, why is he even given a farewell? He went over to the defense department, gave a farewell
00:17:57.440 address like they care. He should go over to section 60 at Arlington. And that is where the,
00:18:02.860 um, the, uh, warriors from the Iraq and Afghan war are buried in that section of Arlington national
00:18:07.860 cemetery. And, um, he should address them and particularly the 13 that he essentially had
00:18:16.700 murdered. And that's what they were killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan, that debaq over a retreat.
00:18:23.660 But everything he's doing, you address the nation. It's like, it's like Washington's address to the
00:18:30.980 nation. It's federal address, uh, Eisenhower's. Are you kidding me? And MSNBC makes such an NBC
00:18:38.080 makes such a big deal about this and didn't have that embarrassing interview with him afterwards.
00:18:42.120 His ratings are in the twenties. People just want him gone. And on one level, they're finishing with
00:18:48.920 a whimper on another level. They are working everywhere to stop this. And I think president
00:18:54.160 Trump and his team have just had enough of it. And to know that good job that president Trump's
00:18:59.160 team's doing, just look at, look at last week on the confirmation errors. Remember we were all over
00:19:02.720 cutting back and forth this bang, bang, bang. It turned out they didn't lay a glove on anybody.
00:19:08.240 All those people last week are getting confirmed. Did the Democrats think that going in? This also
00:19:14.160 reinforced the fact we should have never given up on Gates. And more importantly, we shouldn't let
00:19:18.320 Gates give up on himself. Gates would have been the attorney general. Pam's going to be great.
00:19:24.500 But Gates, Gates puts fear into the apparatus. He would have been the attorney general. They're not
00:19:28.940 stopping Trump now. You can tell there's not even any intellectual firepower to come back on. So
00:19:34.140 what do they have to do? Oh, it's oligarchs. All these oligarchs, oligarchs, oligarchs. Stop.
00:19:38.520 Just stop. Just stop. We've had no power. None. Zero. President Trump was a contender for no power. We
00:19:48.060 have no control of anything. You got Johnson up there, but we have no power. MAGA has no power. Zero.
00:19:52.820 The oligarchs are a creation of the Biden regime, a creation. Now, when it started, it started with the
00:20:01.820 bailouts of in 2008. We're still trying to recover from the solutions to the 2008 problem. The problem
00:20:10.100 was bad enough created by Bush and Congress. The solutions done by Obama and Congress, the solutions
00:20:17.840 were terrible because that really led to the greatest concentration of wealth in the nation's
00:20:22.000 history. The way we bailed out the insurance companies and the banks and the investment
00:20:25.760 banks. We bailed them out. I think they put $5 trillion, $5 trillion, the Federal Reserve
00:20:31.860 pumped $5 trillion, $5 or $6 trillion, real money at the time, into the system to save the
00:20:38.120 system. Did you get a bailout? No, you did not. Did African-Americans, Hispanics have bought
00:20:43.880 the houses, right, that might have been a little bit outside the grass, they get a bailout? No,
00:20:47.600 they got zeroed out and blown out, okay? It's the way the system works. And Obama, the big
00:20:53.460 progressive, he did it, Geithner. The reason he did it, he didn't know enough about it. He
00:20:57.880 was kind of a babe in the woods. Don't trust me, read the books at the time. Susskind's
00:21:01.120 book, Confidence Man, it shows you Obama's kind of wandering around, constitutional lawyer.
00:21:06.080 You're in the middle of a financial meltdown. You don't need to, you know, it's the Constitution,
00:21:09.820 you can check it, it's a contract, I got it, I know what you got to do, but it's the bailout
00:21:13.080 that is the most important thing. He didn't know what he was doing. So he bailed out the
00:21:16.280 wealthy. Led to the greatest concentration of wealth and power in this nation. And then
00:21:20.260 Biden comes in after President Trump had to deal with that. And all those oligarchs were
00:21:24.600 shutting us down the entire time in the first term, remember? Because we caught them sleeping
00:21:31.380 in 16, particularly Facebook, and were able to use Facebook like it was supposed to be
00:21:36.800 used. And they all, after that, went down and shut it down. This show, hey, we are permanently
00:21:42.080 banned everywhere. You don't hear me on the show whining about that. I don't give a tinker's
00:21:47.820 damn about that. I do not. This show is the second biggest political podcast in the country
00:21:51.580 on politics because the content people like and people share the content. I'm a populist.
00:21:58.620 I'm not going to kowtow to Zuckerberg. He's a criminal. Bezos, he's a weirdo. Musk, no,
00:22:04.800 not going to do it. Google, those guys, they're beauts. No, YouTube banned forever, big deal.
00:22:10.880 No, could care less.
00:22:14.500 But this thing of oligarchs, for President Trump, it's a surrender ceremony.
00:22:19.620 They're not there to exert their power. We broke them. More importantly, you broke them.
00:22:25.620 They were against Trump from the beginning. We were banned everywhere. Trump was banned
00:22:29.400 everywhere, everywhere. What did you see with Zuckerberg running down with his little million
00:22:33.700 dollar check? Please, please, please. You know why? He doesn't want a criminal investigation.
00:22:37.380 Brother, you're going to get one. You're going to get one because you deserve it. We got to get to
00:22:42.980 the bottom of 2020. People say, yo, Steve, you got to look forward. Hey, we are looking for it.
00:22:47.960 President Trump's looking forward to the sunlit uplands. That's why he's working on peace and
00:22:51.040 prosperity. But there's some of the work that's got to take place. It just has to. We can walk and
00:22:56.880 chew gum. We're a big country. We're a hegemon right now. Still, hegemons can do a couple of three
00:23:03.160 things. They created the oligarchs and we broke the oligarchs. That is what this story is about.
00:23:10.500 And now they're freaked out. The reason they're turning on them is because the oligarchs have
00:23:13.620 surrendered. The oligarchs surrendered. That's why they're turning on them. It's obvious.
00:23:20.660 You broke them. People with no power, with no money. Because you use your agency and collectively
00:23:26.800 you had the back of a guy who sat there and had the moral courage to say, guess what? I'm going to
00:23:31.160 come back and do this. You had his back. Why were we in East Palestine yesterday? One,
00:23:39.000 to hear the problems haven't been solved. But that's the inflection point of this campaign
00:23:42.000 when Trump went to East Palestine and nobody else did and nobody else could. Oh, excuse me.
00:23:46.660 They sent Pete Buttigieg. That's a beauty. Put his goggles on. It looked like some third grader
00:23:52.280 for the first day of school. Or looked like, you know, come dress is what you want to be.
00:23:56.520 Well, I want to be a working man. Put a vest on, a goofy helmet, and a set of goggles. Are you
00:24:01.440 kidding me? That's going to go out against President Trump? That's called nerd rule. That's what we had
00:24:08.260 during the pandemic with Fauci and all these guys on TV, you know, all the experts, all the people in
00:24:13.280 white coats on MSNBC. We've had nerd rule during the pandemic of Biden. We've had nerd rule by the
00:24:20.040 oligarchs. They turned the power to the oligarchs. And guess what? You, everyday Americans with common
00:24:26.160 sense, grit, determination, you broke them. And you had an instrument to break them. It's called
00:24:31.840 Donald Trump, who not only showed the moral courage to come back, but then showed the physical courage
00:24:38.040 when they tried to assassinate him to get up on the stage and said, what were his words? Surrender?
00:24:43.340 What was his words? Let's have unity. What was his words? And let me think. Let me think. Oh,
00:24:47.960 yeah, I remember. Fight, fight, fight. As he's bleeding, shot in the side of the head. Only by the
00:24:55.720 grace of God did he not take a bullet in the temple. And they're here today, the opposition.
00:25:03.140 Don't think they're just going to toss you that. I knew they're just going to toss you the keys and
00:25:06.460 say, hey, guess what? We gave it a shot. The four years didn't work out. We'll get you next time.
00:25:11.040 No, no, no. It doesn't work. The administrative state and the deep state are dug in and they're
00:25:16.660 dug in hard. Okay. And Biden, these guys, Biden's leaving because he's, I don't know, he's not
00:25:23.960 fully with the program. You can tell that, but they got many, they got ranks and ranks and ranks of
00:25:28.500 these guys. Dave Bratt, before we go to break, put this in perspective. Todd Benson is going to join us
00:25:35.120 about Chicago. We got John Yepp about the Catholics trying to get in here. I shouldn't say the Catholics,
00:25:39.740 not the traditional Catholics, but the fake Pope and his crowd trying to get in here.
00:25:44.580 Brett, what do you got for me?
00:25:47.220 Yeah, what I got is your whole discussion about oligarchs. The big framing narrative is the
00:25:53.280 Judeo-Christian West. And people say, why do you got to go there all the time, Dave? Because none of
00:25:59.340 the oligarchs, and especially Soros, doesn't fit within that narrative, right? If you'll notice,
00:26:04.940 everything we love in this country, the populist movement, the nationalism, God has framed three
00:26:12.060 orders, right? The nation state, and then the church, and the synagogue, and then the family.
00:26:18.280 All of those are being ripped apart. They fit in with the war room three issues. They've torn apart
00:26:23.940 the economy and the debt and the deficits. They're tearing apart our financial system and the lives of
00:26:28.260 the bottom half of this country. They're tearing apart the border. All of this is biblical, right?
00:26:34.000 Joseph, if you haven't read the Old Testament, he was the manager of the grain, and people had
00:26:40.660 to be disciplined over the long run because there's seven good years and seven bad years,
00:26:46.420 right? We got some bad years coming likely, right? The third issue, of course, is war.
00:26:50.440 And so these oligarchs, they do not fit within the Judeo-Christian West. Which one of them has
00:26:56.820 mentioned God and God's order of things? None. If that strikes you as odd, it's also, Rubio,
00:27:03.880 very good comments in his testimony. He brought up Soros, and he brought up his book and his mentor,
00:27:11.060 Karl Popper, Logical Positivism, That School of Thought. If you don't know that, go look it up.
00:27:15.700 But Milton Friedman studied that stuff and tried to square the circle, and he couldn't because he
00:27:21.540 was trying to reduce everything to just the empirical realm. That whole project, the post-World
00:27:27.220 War II liberal order, the open society, how can you be against that? Very easily because Soros does not
00:27:34.760 believe in the open society, and he does not believe in you, and he does not believe in freedom. And he
00:27:40.740 just won the Freedom Medal from the President of the United States. It's an outrage, right? The last
00:27:46.300 thing he believes is in letting you dictate the future of your own country. He's opposed to freedom,
00:27:52.480 and he's opposed to the Judeo-Christian West.
00:27:55.740 Yep. Hang on for a second, Brother Brett. You're going to stick with the co-host all morning.
00:28:01.000 Ben's going to join us. John Yep's going to join us. Ben Harnwell. We've got a lot to go through.
00:28:04.700 It's a working Saturday here in the World War Room on Inauguration Weekend. Days of Thunder
00:28:12.040 are ahead. Already had a pretty good preamble on that. Pretty good pregame. Short break. Back in a moment.
00:28:17.880 It's obvious. The unthinkable continues. Most Americans know something is very, very wrong.
00:28:25.200 The people in charge keep telling you that everything's fine, and to stop noticing. But you
00:28:29.440 know better. That's why self-reliant folks are investing in emergency food storage. And you

00:29:29.300 ...of an American oligarchy. I think it's an incredibly important, I mean, the choices he's
00:29:35.820 made in these final days should leave no doubt in anyone's mind that it's as dire as people have
00:29:41.420 been mourning. Absolutely. And you know, to be clear, that is not how Joe Biden talks. You know,
00:29:46.020 anyone who knows the president, he doesn't speak like that. This is not a speech, frankly,
00:29:51.300 that he had given before. And that, anyone, just take a look at what he has said. That should let
00:29:58.920 you know that he understands this moment. The president is someone who believes in the
00:30:03.820 institutions, right? He talked about with the interview with Lawrence when he, why he, you
00:30:08.020 know, got into public service in the first place. He started as a county councilman and then became
00:30:12.520 the youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate at one point in time. Then, obviously,
00:30:16.620 vice president and now president. Joe Biden is someone that even when, when we worked for him
00:30:21.440 and we would say, you know, he, I would get into very spirited, um, battles, if you will, with,
00:30:26.280 uh, the, the president, when I worked for him on the campaign trail in the, um, in 2020, because
00:30:30.520 Joe Biden would say, you know, this is, he would, it would sound sometimes that he is talking about
00:30:35.180 a Congress and a way of life and politics that no longer exists. And for all of us, even people that
00:30:40.720 worked for him, that doubted him. Simone, good try. Good try. Good try. Let me repeat this. And we're
00:30:45.560 going to, this is information war and narrative war. They created the oligarchs. They created
00:30:51.940 the oligarchs in the social media because it worked for them for state control, state power
00:30:57.000 to suppress you, your voice. Yes. Suppress Trump as the head of our movement, but also to suppress
00:31:03.300 every, at every step. How many of you de-platformed? How many? A lot. Particularly if you want to talk
00:31:11.360 about, I don't know, the vaccine, the COVID mandates, the mass mandates, the election,
00:31:16.520 anything that was interesting to you. And guess what? That you're right on 100% Wuhan lab. Remember
00:31:21.340 Wuhan lab? Think of what you were suppressed for. The, the, the drag queen story hours, right?
00:31:29.920 What they're, the pornography they're putting in the schools. Just go through FBI, then doing
00:31:34.260 raids, all working in conjunction. They created the oligarchs because it worked for them. Never in
00:31:39.320 a billion years that they ever think we would win. Now they're turning on their own. This
00:31:44.300 is fine. It's perfect. It's great. Rachel, we're going to show you how to deal with oligarchs.
00:31:53.680 Could it be some, you know, inter-squad scrimmage on our side of the football? Maybe. You've
00:32:00.020 seen a little of this so far. It's fine. This is what it is. It's, it's, it's all a process.
00:32:05.780 It's, it's all a process. That's what they don't understand.
00:32:11.260 Brett, and now, now, now they're, now they're coming, their new take this morning is war
00:32:16.420 room and Bannon are going to be beaten from the right. They're going to, somebody's going
00:32:19.740 to get to the right of the war room and the war room posse. And this is what their, their
00:32:24.940 thing is, oh, the libertarians, the crypto guys and the crypto, because the crypto guys had
00:32:30.060 a big ball here last night. And, you know, Elon Musk, that we're going to be, they're going
00:32:34.100 to, they're going to get us from the right. Dave Brett, your thoughts on that?
00:32:39.260 Yeah, no, I mean, they own the ink, right? They own the papers. So they're, they're trying
00:32:45.380 to set the new narrative. They're going to fail spectacularly because of this show is putting
00:32:50.980 information out for, for the war room posse and it's spreading across the country. I'm traveling
00:32:56.400 across the country and these messages, Trump's messages, the RNC platform messages spreading
00:33:03.060 like wildfire. Everybody knows you've been lied to. You just went through the whole list.
00:33:07.480 I mean, they just assaulted our, the left wants to take down the country. They want to take
00:33:12.740 down every major institution. And so now they're framing this, you know, this new war at war
00:33:18.220 with the right. What they're calling the oligarchs the right, because the oligarchs are kind of
00:33:22.580 like the old Paul Ryan country club Republicans, right? So they're the rich guys that controlled
00:33:28.320 the apparatus for 30 or 40 years and ruined our party and lost our connection with the
00:33:33.580 people. Well, now we have black, brown, blue collar, Hispanic folks coming our way. And
00:33:40.440 we are given a message that resonates right with that. Our, our Reno book, the return of
00:33:46.420 the strong gods, uh, that Russ vote, uh, pushes, uh, and that you just heard, uh, Senator Rubio
00:33:53.240 pushing in his confirmation heroes. They have tried to strip us of everything we love, uh, and this
00:33:59.080 new open society, liberal rules-based order. There's nothing you love, right? There's nothing that binds
00:34:06.180 the people together that attaches us together as citizens and brothers and sisters in faith, even
00:34:12.680 higher. Uh, their country is yearning for that, right? I'm at Liberty university. Let me tell you,
00:34:18.140 when I go out on the road, people are yearning, uh, for us to take a leadership position in the world
00:34:23.620 again, because they know that narrative is the narrative of the past, you know, 4,000 years,
00:34:30.400 uh, 2000 years of, uh, of Christianity. All of our institutions used to fit within that narrative.
00:34:37.100 Rachel Maddow is interesting. I've never heard any of this kind of thing. Well, yeah,
00:34:42.360 shocker, Rachel, you haven't heard of anything that fits within the Judeo-Christian West because
00:34:46.660 you're trying to tear it all apart. And so that's the great debate. Every, every issue fits
00:34:52.060 underneath that paradigm. Let's, um, I want to go to some of the practicality that first off want
00:34:58.820 to thank our sponsor Birch Gold. If you don't think it's going to be turbulence, folks, let me give
00:35:03.920 you a heads up. Janet Yellen announced yesterday, her last thing on the last day of work, she waddles
00:35:11.700 out of there and what does Janet Yellen say? Oh, by the way, uh, the debt ceiling is hit at 9am
00:35:16.760 Tuesday morning. I think it is the first full work day of Trump's, um, second term. You think
00:35:25.380 that's random thing that just kind of happened? You think she just checked on her computer? Let
00:35:29.600 me see that debt thing. Oh yeah. Right. Look at that. The debt we've hit the debt soon. You have
00:35:33.240 to go to emergency measures. It was, um, Russ Vogt who created the waterfall, the emergency
00:35:40.160 measures along with myself and others in the OMB guys back in April and May of 2017, understanding
00:35:46.160 we were going to hit a debt ceiling then. Russ Vogt's ahead of it. So he's forgotten more
00:35:50.040 than show ever no and Scott Besson. So don't worry about it. But it shows you what they've
00:35:54.580 done to jerry-rigged and Gundek the entire refinancing of this debt short term that Scott Besson is
00:36:01.280 going to step in and have a mess. What does it mean for you? It means for you that now
00:36:07.440 you get the end of the dollar empire. We're going to have a very special offer next week
00:36:11.320 to bundle all this up and go to the end of the dollar empire. Get modern monetary theory.
00:36:16.580 Start to understand what this city still doesn't understand. The imperial capital doesn't
00:36:20.620 understand. That you just can't make it up out of thin air. You can't. For 5,000 years,
00:36:27.140 gold's been a hedge against thinking like that. Whether it's tulips in Holland, right? Or,
00:36:34.320 or a, you know, various manias throughout the world. I think maybe now we have a mania for
00:36:43.800 the creation of money out of thin air. Don't take my advice. Talk to the guys at Birch Gold.
00:36:50.020 We provide the information. Talk to Philip Patrick. You can go to birchgold.com slash
00:36:53.640 Bannon. Do it today. It's all free. It's a tutorial. We're trying to get a working class
00:36:58.080 and middle class audience up. It's like you're taking an MBA, right? We don't talk down to
00:37:04.360 you. We talk up to you like we would a chairman or a CEO of a company. This show's built around
00:37:10.740 kind of giving briefings like the, for the C-suite, right? But go to birchgold.com. You can
00:37:15.720 also take your phone out and text Bannon at 9-8-9-8-9-8, B-A-N-N-O-N at 9-8-9-8-9-8
00:37:24.020 and get all the offers about the instrumentality, whether it's going to be IRAs, 401ks. Hey,
00:37:28.300 I don't know. That's the Birch Gold guys. They do. They'll walk you through it.
00:37:32.660 Do we have a clip? Do I have Todd Bensman? Okay. I want to turn, Dave's here with me today,
00:37:37.840 always said the big picture framing in the Judeo-Christian West in our history as a constitutional
00:37:44.700 republic, which we have to get back to. Bensman, and I don't know how long we're going to have
00:37:49.900 Bensman for. You know, we lost Besant. We lost Navarro. We lost Vote. Fine. These guys are great.
00:37:56.160 They've been great contributors and really enlightened us the last couple of years. They
00:37:59.300 have work to do in the administration, assisting President Trump and executing President Trump's
00:38:03.460 ideas and his plans. There's going to be a showdown on Monday. I love it. I'm not so sure I would
00:38:09.780 have leaked it to the Wall Street Journal, but hey, it is what it is. There's going to be a showdown
00:38:13.240 Tuesday, well, Monday with the Biden regime. And Biden regime, let me just say again, anybody that's
00:38:18.900 associated with the Biden regime, get your bags packed and call an Uber. And don't stick around
00:38:24.420 afternoon on the 20th because you're not wanted. You're not welcome. You're gone. And some, I think
00:38:31.820 some people are going to try and be feisty about it. Okay. Be as feisty as you want.
00:38:34.520 Be as feisty as you want. Do what you do. You're free men and women. Do what you do.
00:38:41.580 But I don't know. I think you're going to be put on notice. Your services are no longer
00:38:45.760 wanted. So take a hint.
00:38:50.220 On Tuesday, there's going to be a showdown. Let's play the clip and we'll get the great
00:38:53.020 Todd Bensman in here. There's going to be a showdown in Chicago. I think it's greatest
00:38:56.680 in Chicago, the heart of the Midwest, right? One of the great cities, the second city in the
00:39:00.600 United States kind of drifted the last decade or so. We'll get into that. Let's go and play
00:39:06.180 the clip.
00:39:07.180 The Wall Street Journal is reporting tonight that the administration, the incoming Trump
00:39:10.720 administration, is planning to start large scale deportations on Tuesday, deploying as
00:39:16.040 many as 200 ICE officers to Chicago. I just want to say, just for people who aren't familiar
00:39:21.000 with the number of officers it takes to engage in large scale raids, 200 officers seems like
00:39:27.400 a lot. But I mean, Marco Rubio is saying they want to deport 10, 20, 30 million undocumented
00:39:32.820 people from this country. That will require a redeployment of federal officers, the scale
00:39:39.220 of which we have not seen in my lifetime.
00:39:41.620 You know, so I think there's also the truism of the Trump years, which is, you know, there
00:39:47.620 is a lot of talk that is very pitched and it is intended to invoke fear. And oftentimes it's
00:39:53.360 quite successful. And it's not to minimize those affected by a 200-person ICE raid in
00:39:57.960 the city of Chicago. But Donald Trump's ability to actually execute on the mass deportations
00:40:04.280 he's promised is an open question. And I think within that, there is a lot of opportunity for
00:40:09.500 resistance, the kind of which you just outlined, Rachel.
00:40:12.580 Yeah. And I think he's also picking a fight. I mean, I think that there's a reason.
00:40:15.660 Yeah. Picking a fight. Todd Benzman, he's very specific. The mayor in Chicago has been
00:40:24.600 adamant about being a sanctuary city. President Trump, Tom Homan and Stephen Miller are going
00:40:29.480 to call his bluff in the first 24 hours. Walk me through it.
00:40:33.940 Well, they're feuding. The mayor of Chicago is saying out loud over and over again, we're
00:40:40.120 going to protect criminal aliens from you. We're going to preserve their presence among
00:40:45.660 our people. We're going to inflict them on our people. And Homan's saying, yeah, well,
00:40:52.400 we may just arrest you because that's a crime. You can't get in the way of law enforcement
00:41:00.040 operations. And so it's tit for tat like that. And Homan's saying, the first place I'm going
00:41:05.660 to be on day one is Chicago, which is just sort of a way of telling them that we are going
00:41:13.240 to overwhelm you. We are not going to be dissuaded by your sanctuary policies, your criminal alien
00:41:20.600 protection policies, because that's what it is that just so you know, sanctuary policy is
00:41:27.140 primarily the central pillar of it is local law enforcement is not going to tell ICE when
00:41:35.060 a criminal alien is getting out of jail or prison so that they can come pick them up and
00:41:40.060 deport them, which is outrageous. I'll never understand how an elected official could choose
00:41:48.560 that and say it out loud over and over again. Proudly, we're going to inflict.
00:41:53.460 OK, hang on. Hang on. Before we go to break, before we go to break, why should this give me give it to
00:41:58.500 me in 60 seconds? We got a big country. You got 12 to 15 million. You know, you got the border
00:42:04.860 states. You got Texas, Arizona. Why? You got New York City. You got San Francisco, L.A. Why Chicago?
00:42:12.300 Chicago is just one of the that's where you're going to see Homan probably. But they're hitting
00:42:17.140 all of those at the same time. You're going to see L.A. You're going to see New York, Denver,
00:42:22.920 probably Boston. It's going to be a whole it's not just 200 in Chicago. It's going to be hundreds more
00:42:31.040 in all these other cities. So they're going to be raids and roundups and they're designed to be
00:42:36.980 highly visible because messaging is important, regardless of how many they actually pick up.
00:42:44.340 And in fact, I'm thinking that most of those who are criminal aliens are on the run right now looking
00:42:49.700 to hide from this. But it doesn't matter how many ultimately they pick up because the raids matter
00:42:56.800 to the rest of the world down trail. When they start to close the border, they need people down
00:43:03.780 there to stop in place, shelter in place, turn around and go home because of what they're seeing
00:43:08.240 in Chicago. Hang on for one second. Todd, I'm going to hold you through the break and get back to you.

00:44:57.140 Okay, welcome back. Todd, look, here's where I got a problem. I shouldn't say a problem. I'll say an
00:45:04.320 issue. I want to bring up an issue for the audience. Because you read the article in the
00:45:09.760 Wall Street Journal. It's leaked the Wall Street Journal. It's for people familiar with the plan.
00:45:16.280 That would be, did it sound like administration people? It could be people in the administrative
00:45:19.760 state, one or the other. What do you think happened here? You think this leak came from President Trump
00:45:24.360 and his team or as the administrative state? And I keep telling folks, hey, President Trump,
00:45:29.220 this is why it's not really, it's a celebratory mood in the city from MAGA. And now you've got
00:45:34.220 hundreds of thousands of MAGA coming in with nothing to do. That's another issue. We got the strongest
00:45:40.480 MAGA guys. Here's, here's what's breaking my heart. These people are spending their vacation money for
00:45:46.160 the year to come here. And where you should know, and I'm going to work over the weekend with Rob
00:45:51.260 Sieg and Jack Posobiec. We're going to figure out something to have a participatory somehow.
00:45:55.960 We got to do something. So we'll figure it out. But there's not open arms. This city is quite
00:46:02.500 sullen. It's not just the cold weather. It's gray every day and foggy. It's not simply the weather.
00:46:08.740 The administrative state is sullen. There was a leak last night and it was not true that,
00:46:13.400 hey, the thing may be moved to the White House. Remember that? I think it was up on Gateway Pundit because
00:46:17.380 the local police were not working. Okay. That, that was fake news. However,
00:46:23.720 they're not welcoming here with open arms, President Trump. It's a very sullen city,
00:46:29.160 the imperial capital, because they heard the words of Marco Rubio on, on, on Tuesday.
00:46:34.760 Marco says, we're done. We're out of this empire building. It's done. It's over. The forever wars
00:46:39.060 are over. They're done. This is no longer going to be the central headquarters of the post-war
00:46:45.560 international rules-based order. It's going to be different. It's going to work for the American
00:46:49.620 people. And so this entire apparatus that has been built for 60 and 70 years in the boutiques and
00:46:55.500 the homes, and you come here, it's like Paris. It's not like Paris. Well, the layout is like Paris
00:47:02.520 and you're going to join. It ain't like Paris that the folks, the working class in the, in the
00:47:08.260 war room posse, you can't come because you can't get into the boutiques. You can't get in the
00:47:11.320 restaurants, but they treat Trump and his people like that. The senior people, they're not happy.
00:47:18.260 We won. Did you notice that? Have you noticed that? Have you noticed, you know, Rachel and
00:47:23.120 these guys are not static. They get the long face, the sad face as Biden finishes with a whimper and
00:47:29.120 they're doing everything possible to stop president Trump in his first hundred days to put up every
00:47:33.320 barricade, chop block, do everything, every sneaky thing over and over. And they're not here.
00:47:38.860 They're welcoming, welcoming us. So the leak could have come from the ministry of state or could have
00:47:43.820 come from people in the administration to give them a heads up. But whatever's happening, Todd
00:47:47.940 Benzman, they're going to Chicago for a reason. And this reason, I think, in my own simple mind,
00:47:54.560 that's that big mouth mayor that is thrown down and said, Trump, I don't care what you did.
00:47:59.280 Okay. I'm the mayor. I'm the king of Chicago. I'm a sanctuary city. You know, come and get it.
00:48:04.600 And Trump's sending home and out there to say, go get it. I'm president of these United States
00:48:10.420 and he's a mayor of Chicago. We're going to have a standoff. We're going to have a showdown right
00:48:13.840 now and a throwdown. Your thoughts. Well, the context is, you know, look at New York,
00:48:19.560 Eric Adams, you know, he's capitulating on protecting illegal criminal aliens on that issue.
00:48:28.740 They're having, you know, nice talks and they're all, you know, friendly to each other. And same
00:48:34.080 thing is happening in some of the other major blue sanctuary cities. There's this threat about
00:48:40.100 we're going to pull grant money, federal grant money. There's there's threats of arrests of
00:48:46.060 officials, sitting officials. And here you've got this one mayor in Chicago who's defiant,
00:48:53.000 a defiant rebel holdout. And I think maybe part of the reason why Homan promised out loud
00:48:59.520 a couple of weeks ago on day one, I'm going to be in Chicago. You can count on it. And if you don't
00:49:05.200 like it, come and get me. I think that's partly be to sort of get the rest of them in line to make an
00:49:13.780 example to overcome that guy. And by the way, Pritzker's even that the governor is starting to make
00:49:21.660 conciliatory sounds, although he's still kind of holdoutish as well. But he is making some
00:49:28.820 conciliatory noises. He's running for president. Hold it. Hang on. He's running for president in
00:49:33.740 2028. Pritzker is 100 percent. So he's definitely he sees where the country is. Right before I let
00:49:39.220 you go, Todd, and I want everybody to go to your writings because you're reporting on this for the
00:49:43.080 last four years is one of the reasons we won. I hear this phrase over and over again.
00:49:49.000 Illegal criminal alien. OK, I got it. The interpretation of those guys, serious crime,
00:49:56.000 the Lake and Riley thing, others. But to me, everybody across that border is an illegal criminal
00:50:03.040 alien. And they all got to go. I know we're starting with the bad guys. But and I realize that maybe,
00:50:09.960 you know, Murdoch's putting out polls in the Wall Street Journal. Oh, we want we want
00:50:14.160 MAGA light. No, Murdoch, you gun decked. You you didn't ask MAGA and you certainly didn't ask
00:50:20.940 Republicans. We ain't looking for light. We're looking for heavy. Understand what the Wall Street
00:50:25.600 Journal wants. Understand what the the neocon neoliberal apparatus, the Washington census wants.
00:50:32.380 That's not what we want. We don't whatever the Wall Street Journal wants. We want the opposite.
00:50:36.680 How about that? We'll keep it simple. Todd, before we let you go, what's your thoughts on that? Is
00:50:42.100 it going to stop with and by the way, just to get the criminal aliens at the bad guys is going to be
00:50:46.860 a Herculean effort. I understand that. But is that where this stops, sir? No, of course not.
00:50:52.060 They are going to be going after as well illegal aliens who have removal orders on them. And there
00:50:59.100 are a lot of them, one point four million at least. And they know where they are. Most of them,
00:51:04.800 they have horses and all the rest. So criminal aliens and the ones that are allowed to walk
00:51:10.180 around with removal orders on them, they'll be going after them. The criminal aliens are probably
00:51:15.920 running and hiding right now, by the way. So don't be I'm going to manage expectations down a little
00:51:21.720 bit. That's maybe with leaking things because you're but but it's just the opening. There's going
00:51:29.520 to be rolling raids that just go on for the next four years. Ice is out is unchained now. And one
00:51:37.140 other last thing, if I can just mention about Chicago, I just back from Chicago, I was there for a week
00:51:43.320 writing about the very first terror attack charged, legally charged terror attack against a illegal
00:51:53.680 immigrant. And you'll hear Homan talk a lot about this is a national security threat. We've got to
00:52:00.240 roll up these national security threats, special interest aliens. That guy was a Maritanian attack,
00:52:06.800 the Jewish community there. And don't be surprised if you hear a lot about that as well. Justifications
00:52:12.720 for this. We've got to bet. Where do people over the weekend keep up with you on social media? Where
00:52:17.620 they get your writings? Yeah, Benzman Todd on X. I'm on true social getter. Todd Benzman.com. I work
00:52:26.180 for CIS Center for Immigration Studies and all my work is there too. You're magnificent, brother. Thank
00:52:33.700 you for doing this on a Saturday morning. Todd Benzman. Thank you. The greats. Okay, the right stuff.
00:52:41.060 That's what this audience has the right stuff. That's how you turfed out Biden and broke the
00:52:47.460 oligarchs. Short commercial break. 90 seconds. Be back in a moment for the second hour.
00:52:54.340 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:52:59.780 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:53:04.100 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:53:09.780 tracking our movement across the internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial
00:53:15.380 newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming
00:53:20.980 event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact,
00:53:26.740 some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:53:31.540 to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes,
00:53:37.700 buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:53:44.180 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:53:49.620 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate
00:53:54.580 us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:54:02.260 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to
00:54:08.100 rickardswarroom.com. That's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video.

00:55:22.260 I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human and I wanted to share just a little bit more about our
00:55:26.420 brand for those who may not know of us yet. But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred
00:55:31.620 Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without
00:55:38.020 all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate
00:55:43.620 supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that
00:55:48.740 really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill
00:55:53.620 this gap of quality supplements. And of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:55:59.140 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A,
00:56:04.580 B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb
00:56:13.780 these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic
00:56:19.620 vitamin in general. So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out,
00:56:24.340 you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com. And cheers to your health!
