Bannon's War Room - Episode 4246： Cleaning Out The Corruption In The Plumbing Of Government

00:00:00.000 Blumenthal today on Capitol Hill telling reporters essentially that Democrats are ready to make

00:00:05.080 Republicans work for it. As Senator Blumenthal's office told us just this hour, Democrats know

00:00:10.980 they can't unilaterally stop Trump's nominees from getting confirmed in the Senate, but

00:00:15.260 they do plan to make Republicans work as hard as possible for it. They can make Republicans

00:00:19.760 use up as much valuable floor time as possible on each and every nominee, and that's what

00:00:25.600 they plan to do. Slow the whole thing down as much as they are capable of. Now, that

00:00:31.080 is along the lines of the advice that's been coming from one of the driving forces behind

00:00:35.220 some of the protests you've already seen this week. Ezra Levin of Indivisible says Democrats

00:00:40.900 should look back to the Republican playbook from 2009, just after Barack Obama was elected

00:00:46.120 with a Democratic trifecta. When Republicans were in the minority and Democrats controlled

00:00:50.340 the House and the Senate and the White House, he says, think what you will about Mitch McConnell

00:00:54.880 on the Republicans' plan. That was a very effective legislative tactic from a party that found

00:01:00.940 itself in the minority. What are you watching for in their actions that you think might really

00:01:06.220 make a difference? It sounds good, Rachel, and I will say I think we are in a much better

00:01:10.880 place right now with Senate Democratic leadership and the Senate Democratic Caucus than we were

00:01:14.640 a week ago. That said, today, today, 22 Democrats voted for another Trump secretary.

00:01:24.320 Twenty-two of them. So I like to hear from Senator Blumenthal. I like to hear from other senators

00:01:29.940 that they are starting to agree to blanket opposition. I want to see the votes. I want

00:01:35.940 to see the votes. And until we see those votes, I think what they're going to be hearing from

00:01:40.180 their constituents is a demand that they fight back.

00:01:42.380 Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, I was interested. He put out last night,

00:01:47.940 I think it was last night, it might have been yesterday afternoon, a 10-point plan for all

00:01:51.960 Democratic members of the House. And it had a lot of different things that they're going to try to do

00:01:56.040 and ways they're going to brief each other and communicate on things. But the last thing was,

00:02:00.120 essentially, I command you, as Democratic leader of the House, to go to your home constituents,

00:02:06.800 to hold town hall meetings, and to hold other events with constituents and people who are in

00:02:12.760 your district about what is going on right now. And I want you to do it, he said, literally,

00:02:16.460 today. And if you cannot do it today, you need to do it this week. And we will be surveying every

00:02:21.300 Democratic member of the House to see whether or not they do this. Now, as we have seen Democratic

00:02:26.140 members, including in Virginia last night, start to do these town halls, they're packed to the

00:02:30.380 rafters. People are desperate to be able to hear from one another and also to be able to,

00:02:36.740 in many cases, yell at their member to do more. But the energy palpably seems like it is there,

00:02:43.220 Ezra, if members of Congress and senators are going to essentially follow their leadership's

00:02:48.260 advice, hold these kind of events, and hear from the people who voted them into office.

00:02:52.200 I love this move. I love this move from Leader Jeffries. I think this is a very good move. What I

00:02:57.120 would encourage every single Democrat on the House side to do is use that convenient power that you

00:03:02.400 have. People are going to show up. If you build it, people will come. If you are out in this country

00:03:07.680 and worried about what's going on, you've got to show up to these means. And one big benefit of

00:03:13.280 Jeffries calling for Democrats to do this is, you know who isn't holding public town halls to explain

00:03:18.700 exactly what's going on in the Treasury Department, to explain exactly what was going on with the OMB

00:03:24.040 funding freeze that attacked Meals on Wheels and Head Start? You know who's not explaining that?

00:03:28.360 Republican members of Congress. They are embarrassed by it. So what a great opportunity

00:03:33.740 to create contrast with the Republicans and say, look, we are here. We are listening to our

00:03:38.780 constituents. And what our role is, people around the country are worried, show up. Show up not just

00:03:44.680 by yourself, but get a group together. Get indivisible members or working families party members or

00:03:49.460 MUBOM members or whoever are your friends and family members and community. Get them together

00:03:53.280 and show up in person. That demonstrates to your elected officials that you actually care about this.

00:04:00.240 Cash Patel is yet to come up for a vote. But today, just before we went on air, Pam, Pam Bondi

00:04:05.440 was confirmed as attorney general. It was a party line vote. All Republicans voting for all Democrats

00:04:10.460 voting against, with the exception of John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who voted for her. Do you have any

00:04:16.100 confidence at all that she will uphold the rule of law at Maine Justice?

00:04:21.080 I don't, unfortunately, because there's a lot to admire and like about her until you get to areas

00:04:29.040 that are what you might call Trump sensitive. And she showed in the hearings that when she got to a

00:04:34.800 Trump sensitive area, it was like a plane flying into the Bermuda Triangle and all the navs and comms

00:04:41.340 went haywire. And, you know, you just couldn't get a straight answer out of her. And then when you flew

00:04:46.420 back out of Trump sensitive areas, she went back to normal again. So when she's that frightened of

00:04:52.160 Trump and that subservient to Trump, that she goes haywire when it's a Trump sensitive area, 1.00

00:04:58.660 it's a really bad sign about being able to restrain truly dangerous people like Cash Patel.

00:05:04.180 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on

00:05:15.700 these people. Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The

00:05:21.880 people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do

00:05:25.840 everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:05:28.840 And where do people like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish

00:05:36.060 that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:05:43.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:05:49.200 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:05:52.640 It's Wednesday, 5 February in the year of our Lord, 2022. Dave Bratt joins me riding shotgun today.

00:06:04.480 Our own Natalie Winters is going to be all over today, and we're going to have her back at 5 o'clock.

00:06:09.860 Is she up right now? Because I know she's got a bolt. Natalie Winters. So the resistance,

00:06:13.940 Natalie, it's coming from many different areas. People should understand they're going to slow

00:06:19.660 everything down in the Senate to a crawl. They have to do this because now groups that you've

00:06:24.680 identified, like Indivisible, Indivisible is trying to do the playbook that War Room did in January of

00:06:33.140 2021. They have to have a rally point. They don't have a rally point right now, just like we didn't

00:06:37.560 have a rally point. Everybody on this side surrendered or crushed. Go back to 2021. Remember how bad it was

00:06:44.420 when President Trump went to Mar-a-Lago? You need a rally point. They have selected Indivisible to do

00:06:49.720 this. You can tell. And the Indivisible people are not dumb. Okay? They're not dumb. They've

00:06:55.060 identified McConnell's playbook from 2009 in the first years of Obama. For you guys who are not

00:07:00.400 there, McConnell did what I call a great rear guard action to try to slow down as much as possible.

00:07:06.700 Natalie, you've seen this. You're also saying, hey, we told you, they're flooding the zone with

00:07:11.400 lawsuits everywhere. They're going to try to use the courts and go into these liberal 1.00

00:07:14.600 areas. And they're really going to come off everything Doge is doing to try to get to the

00:07:20.100 plumbing and get the plumbing right. And there may be some issues in that on data mining and AI. We'll

00:07:25.180 get to that later. But just even the Doge efforts, in particular, they're freaked out because two

00:07:30.820 things. Number one, we're getting rid of the FBI guys. You see how that's working. Number two,

00:07:35.320 we're taking out USAID, which is a railhead of money for them to do all this nefarious activity,

00:07:43.300 everything from shutting down conservative media, to funding the invasion of the southern border,

00:07:47.240 to being a CIA cutout, doing things in Ukraine. USAID is the scab that's got to be picked.

00:07:54.120 But you're particularly focused on some of these lawsuits you say is going to be quite

00:07:57.460 problematic. Natalie Winters, stand and deliver, ma'am.

00:08:01.560 Of course. Well, the frivolous lawsuits are all that they have. And to the point about USAID,

00:08:08.000 I think if you look at any department that this city has gotten rich off of due to the fact that

00:08:13.380 there are no audits, right, all these weird NGOs that no one has ever looked into in the name of what

00:08:18.420 promoting democracy abroad, USAID is the linchpin of that. And that's why they're melting down,

00:08:25.340 because they know the gravy trains over. But more acutely, Steve, when we first started covering

00:08:30.180 the resistance, when I put together that montage of the six-hour phone call that I watched,

00:08:35.320 who put that phone call together? It was indivisible. That was one of the leading voices.

00:08:39.680 That guy is who Rachel Maddow has always had on as sort of the point person when it comes to

00:08:44.060 discussing anything resistance-related. And you're so right, they're culturally appropriating the war

00:08:48.800 room in terms of their lobbying tactics. But I want to get really granular for a second on the

00:08:53.500 lawsuits. There are two that have been brought against President Trump, the DOJ, for what they're

00:08:57.760 trying to do over at the FBI. One of them is coming from some far left. It's called the Center

00:09:03.120 for Employment Justice. You can imagine what their politics are. But you don't have to imagine that

00:09:08.120 much because the chief attorney listed on the case is a former Democratic Senate candidate. But I want

00:09:14.280 to flag, you know, we're all about receipts here in the war room. I guess we're all about opposition

00:09:17.880 research, too. This lady, an individual, the attorney by the name of Pam Keith, has been out tweeting

00:09:23.320 for years during the Biden regime about how every single MAGA member of the federal government

00:09:29.000 needs to be fired. Don't just take my word for it. I'll read you her tweets. 1.00

00:09:33.380 Quote, America needs industrial strength disinfectant of the MAGA bacteria in our

00:09:37.920 institutions. Clean the wound, Mr. President. Fire them all. Next quote, if we are to remove

00:09:43.680 MAGA at the ballot box, then you must, must, must, in all caps, remove MAGA from our institutions.

00:09:48.880 Fire DeJoy, fire Flynn, fire Ray. Quote, it is time for the Biden admin to remove MAGA from our

00:09:55.520 government. That's now the same attorney that is representing nine anonymous FBI agents citing

00:10:00.960 political retribution for President Trump's decision to fire them, or at least have them

00:10:05.500 answer a survey about their actions related to January 6th. And last point, the second lawsuit

00:10:10.900 that they've brought, which is coming from a group representing, they say, FBI agents.

00:10:14.940 This is a group that came under fire for giving out, I believe, $1,000 gift cards to agents who

00:10:20.240 bent the knee to the BLM mob. This is a group that lobbies every government shutdown to try to get 1.00

00:10:25.320 FBI agents paid. And funnily enough, they lobbied to keep Ray in place. So there are a bunch of

00:10:30.220 political partisan hacks. And I think that that's just what we need to remember. These lawsuits that

00:10:34.600 are coming out, it's basically just the new form, albeit watered down because they have no power,

00:10:39.860 but of the impeachment that would have been if they had any semblance of power. But instead,

00:10:45.620 they're relegated to activist types like Indivisible, like these far left NGOs going and crying on MSNBC.

00:10:53.740 Play it again.

00:10:54.340 Yeah.

00:10:56.060 Now keep going. I want to go. Okay, here's what I want to do. If Denver and my crack production team

00:11:02.080 can play again, Ezra, I think it's Levin, Levin of Indivisible. Tell me when you got,

00:11:10.080 tell me when you got this thing ready to go. I want to play it again. You're the first one,

00:11:13.460 Natalie Winters, as you normally are. You're the first one to warn us about Indivisible

00:11:17.120 weeks and months ago. This is becoming the go-to spot. The reason is they have these calls,

00:11:22.800 they have 50,000 people on it. Let me, let's play. I want to, I want to single this guy out.

00:11:28.840 Let's play this for a second. Go ahead. And to you, what are you watching for in their actions

00:11:34.700 that you think might really make a difference? It sounds good, Rachel. And I will say, I think

00:11:39.420 we are in a much better place right now with Senate democratic leadership and the Senate

00:11:42.880 democratic caucus than we were a week ago. That said today, today, 22 Democrats voted for another

00:11:51.940 Trump. What I want you to see there, we'll put up, is he's got the bar. He's going full 12 o'clock

00:11:57.900 high. He's got the little bomber, this pencil neck's got a little bomber jacket on, right?

00:12:02.300 What is he? He's going to just go get a barber. You're quite stylish, Steve. People want to

00:12:06.700 be you. No, he's trying to be great. No, he's trying to be Gregory Peck. Okay. Hey, Ezra,

00:12:11.700 right here. This, this is, this is called a man. That's a man. That's Gregory Peck and 12 o'clock

00:12:17.500 high. That's not you. Okay. It doesn't, it, the look is not working. That being said, these

00:12:23.700 guys are, they're going to do something. I can tell you, this is where the resistance

00:12:27.300 is going to come from. They're the rally point because the Democrats are shattered. How dangerous

00:12:32.100 is this individual, indivisible? And we got to put stink eye on them, ma'am.

00:12:37.760 Well, the Washington Post, one of the reporters just quote tweeted me saying that I need to

00:12:42.160 find better mentors, but I would say, Hey, the tip of the spear of your resistance is trying

00:12:46.440 to culturally appropriate Steve Bannon. So I think I have a pretty good one. But look,

00:12:50.620 I have read all of indivisible's, you know, kind of casework, their blueprints of how to plot the

00:12:57.040 resistance. These people are extremely organized down to the point where they have itemized tables

00:13:04.320 of how to best lobby and, you know, intimidate basically peer pressure, your lawmakers on your

00:13:10.100 phone calls. They've advocated for all of their members to write op-eds specifically in local

00:13:15.280 papers because they have more traction. They're setting up town hall type meetings across the

00:13:20.600 country. And hundreds of thousands of people showed up to those kind of mass mobilization

00:13:25.140 calls that I watched, that I tracked. So these people are extremely, extremely engaged. But I

00:13:31.820 think the more nefarious kind of angle to what indivisible has done, which is part of that group

00:13:36.120 democracy forward that we were talking about yesterday is just the idea that they want to

00:13:41.200 weaponize career civil servants and effectively turn them into, for lack of a better word,

00:13:46.420 embeds, right, exposing the Trump administration. And that's why they're melting down so heavily

00:13:52.080 about these people being removed from the building, because they can't be whistleblowers

00:13:56.840 if they're not proximal to President Trump. So that's sort of the crux of it. And that's why

00:14:02.060 they're melting down. And last point, Steve, what was Rachel Maddow's monologue about yesterday

00:14:06.880 entirely? I guess that was two days ago on Monday, the same day that USAID is getting crippled.

00:14:13.160 She's begging, groveling, and imploring her audience to donate and support independent media,

00:14:19.300 civil society groups like Indivisible, because they know that gravy train's ending.

00:14:26.460 Fabulous. You're on it. You're on watch. And you're now doing it from the White House.

00:14:30.560 Social media, where do they get you, Natalie?

00:14:35.300 Natalie Juenters on all platforms. I will see you at five from the White House.

00:14:39.140 Yes. I like saying that.

00:14:41.720 Better mentors. Wow. Guys are getting, they're getting personal now.

00:14:46.240 Thank you, ma'am. Great work as usual. See you this afternoon.

00:14:50.420 Short break. Dave Bratsworth, I got a lot to go through today. Be back in a moment.

00:14:55.520 Have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not talking recession. I mean

00:15:06.640 depression by the year 2030. We're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking

00:15:12.820 point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller

00:15:19.100 tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, and you got a

00:15:25.700 problem, and I mean a big problem. So what are you going to do now to protect your family for the

00:15:30.660 future? Gold is a safe haven in hard economic times, and Birch Gold makes it easy to diversify

00:16:40.240 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:46.940 So, we're hitting on our fronts, but I want to talk about focus. A lot of stuff coming out of the

00:16:51.800 Republican conference today, and the topic will be focus. You have people like Byron Donalds and

00:17:01.240 others being accused of going Chip Roy today and getting snarky and mean, I think, at the conference

00:17:07.760 over here. Here's the issue, and I want to make sure we bifurcate.

00:17:16.120 You have to get the preliminary. It's like in ice skating. You have to get the preliminaries

00:17:19.320 done. You have to ace the things you have to do, the compulsory. You have to ace those to be able

00:17:26.360 to dance freestyle on Sunday night and win the gold medal. You have to get the basics done. They have to

00:17:31.620 be done, and we have to get tens on those. People are moving at a million miles an hour. It's great.

00:17:38.280 You've got scale, depth, and urgency. Scale, depth, and urgency of what President Trump's doing

00:17:43.380 in these verticals. But let's pull back, right, to our matrix. Let's pull back to what we've talked

00:17:49.360 about from the beginning, from the very night we won. You have three big things that have to get done.

00:17:55.960 Number one, you have to end the kinetic part of the Third World War. Only President Trump can do

00:18:05.660 that. Principally in Ukraine, number two is in the Middle East. And extract American involvement from 0.57

00:18:13.020 that. Number two, you have to simultaneously begin the mass deportations. Let me continue to put the

00:18:22.500 word mass in there. Mass deportations of, I don't know, approximately 12 million illegal alien invaders

00:18:30.280 that have come here just from 20 January of 2021. Let's not worry about anybody who came in beforehand.

00:18:40.040 You just can't. Maybe if the criminal's in jail, yes. But I'm saying that's a small percentage. You've

00:18:45.700 got to focus on what Biden allowed in the invasion. That's enough. It'll take us years to do that.

00:18:52.220 But focus on that. And it's mass deportations. Number three, in neither one of those, even the

00:19:00.320 beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World War is not existential right now, if you handle it

00:19:06.140 and extract it. And the deportations are, the invasion's horrible, but you got the army there

00:19:12.280 now that's first step of stopping it. You have a much more awareness. Even Abbott's sending the

00:19:15.900 National Guard there. The existential is the financial part. Even, I haven't pulled it up

00:19:22.880 yet, but Bill Ackman, even Bill Ackman had a tweet last night, and Ackman goes through 36 trillion

00:19:27.960 dollars in debt. The refinancing of that's driving inflation that has to be cut. The way to do this

00:19:33.280 doge. The thing itself is to get the grips around the spending. The spending, Morning Joe does,

00:19:40.840 I think, a 12-minute segment on eggs today. The price of eggs. Trump promised the price

00:19:45.840 of eggs, the price of eggs, the price of eggs. You're only going to get inflation down when

00:19:54.140 you get the inflationary aspects of a Keynesian, right? At this low employment, I get my economist

00:20:02.740 here. This is a Keynesian stimulus. You're juicing into the economy all the time. At a six and a half

00:20:12.960 trillion dollars of federal spending, approximately, and with four and a half trillion coming in,

00:20:18.240 approximately, that gap is two trillion dollars. The Congressional Budget Office concurs me. Now,

00:20:24.240 there's some debate about dynamic scoring and under dynamic scoring. I won't bore you with the details,

00:20:28.680 but just roughly, it's two trillion dollars. We're talking about reconciliations bills and,

00:20:36.520 you know, do these things for the border and the taxes. Let's be blunt. The whole thing with Jason

00:20:43.060 Smith and these guys over there on Ways and Means is the four trillion dollars of President Trump's tax

00:20:48.860 cut. You have to renew the 2.6 trillion that goes to people, couples under 400,000 and everybody

00:20:56.400 underneath that, and maybe even juice that a little bit. And you got to take care of the

00:21:00.880 pass-throughs to the small entrepreneurs, which is another couple hundred billion dollars. So let's

00:21:06.940 say of the four trillion, it's up to three trillion of that. A trillion dollar of the tax cut,

00:21:13.080 I'm saying, one, it should not be a tax cut for the wealthy. In fact, there should be a tax increase

00:21:20.160 until we close the gap because they're the ones, the corporatists, the lords of easy money, the

00:21:25.760 oligarchs in Silicon Valley. They're all welfare queens. They all want goodies and support from 1.00

00:21:32.840 your dollars. And the place to start is the defense budget. And I'm a hawk. And I've got skin in the

00:21:41.120 game to show I'm a hawk. As my daughter does and the rest of the family, we're hawks. But we're bigger

00:21:47.740 hawks. The ticking time bomb on our national security is this debt because it's inextricably

00:21:56.460 linked with our ability to face the Chinese Communist Party. And we're crippling ourselves

00:22:01.980 every day. OK, so let me pull back. President Trump in his geo-economic and geo-strategic rethinking.

00:22:09.820 This goes back to, you know, we're free market capitalists. One, we believe there should be

00:22:17.260 more capitalists. There's not. Right now, we're in a world's the world system is mercantilist,

00:22:23.460 essentially, where they're where they're they're they're grifting off of the whole world is underwritten.

00:22:29.100 As President Trump said the other day in his tweet, is underwritten by working men and women

00:22:33.500 in this country. That's why we are protectionist. That's why we look at external revenue service.

00:22:39.100 That's why we look at the golden market here that you've created, the little platoons

00:22:44.220 that Burke talked about, that's given the stability and civic underpinnings of this economy, of which,

00:22:50.780 by the way, you guys are all dialed out of except for a tiny piece on the on the income side,

00:22:55.740 which is not increasing. Geostrategically, President Trump, an amazing focus goes,

00:23:01.820 hey, how about this? Hemispheric. Hemispheric defense. I think I've heard that before. Oh,

00:23:08.860 yeah, that's right. The the the the revolutionary generation and the founders, James Monroe being

00:23:15.340 the biggest and James Monroe, as people know, was, I believe, an officer at Valley Forge with

00:23:21.340 with with General Washington as a junior officer, as Hamilton was and John Marshall. Many of the people,

00:23:29.020 the most loyal to to General Washington and then President Washington and really the people that

00:23:37.420 built the American system. That was a system of economics that came out of the report on

00:23:41.900 manufacturers. And we as economic nationalists and guys that think, you know, Hamilton was fantastic.

00:23:49.260 He went a little fall to deepen certain things. Right. Had a little too much a little bit kind

00:23:53.980 of a globalist on the I mean, nationalist, but kind of admired the British Empire a little too much.

00:23:59.180 And I don't know, like a lot of individuals, you know, had a thing with the ladies. Right. Just did. 0.97

00:24:07.020 He was not. He was a very imperfect instrument, but a great man. I would argue one of the greatest of

00:24:11.340 the founders, the American system. Backed by Monroe, backed by Marshall. You notice the American

00:24:19.740 system was really backed a lot. By those that saw the sacrifice in the war, because all things

00:24:28.860 is the Declaration of Independence, a bunch of lawyers writing a beautiful document that was

00:24:31.980 just a beautiful document that set the table for an invasion that already started.

00:24:36.060 I think we finished. I think we finished the declaration on the second ready for signature

00:24:41.100 on the fourth. The British expeditionary force landed in Staten Island on wait for it the afternoon

00:24:46.860 of the second. The founder, the revolutionary generation knew they were going to war. This

00:24:52.860 is the largest expeditionary force in world history at that time. Maybe as bigger than at least

00:24:58.940 modern history, bigger than Xerxes coming to Greece to shut down another democracy.

00:25:06.060 From Persia. Gosh, how that's interconnected today. Right.

00:25:12.540 So. The hemispheric and you send Ruby the first time to Panama, he's got a 30 minute meeting

00:25:18.860 and the guy walks out, the president walks out to the sticks, says, I'm out of one belt, one road.

00:25:23.380 And we told you they pulled the contract yesterday, began to pull the contract from Hutchison, Wampoa,

00:25:27.900 the huge trading company in Hong Kong that runs the port of Hong Kong and runs the port of

00:25:34.220 Panama. They're throwing them out. He's taking that in Greenland. We had we had Tom Dan's

00:25:40.060 a very moving ceremony yesterday laying the wreath on the door where the Dorchester sank

00:25:44.540 with the four chaplains, two Protestants, a Catholic and I'll throw in a rabbi. 0.71

00:25:50.860 Right. Sank out there in the North Atlantic, freezing to death immediately with hypothermia.

00:25:56.060 On a merchant on a merchant on a merchant marine ship.

00:26:01.660 So in Greenland, you've got the extension of Fortress America, the extension of of of 2.0,

00:26:06.620 if you add the island chains in the Pacific, you've hermetically sealed the United States,

00:26:11.340 throw on top of it an iron dome and we're good to go.

00:26:13.740 So in Ukraine, Zelensky, who used one of the crudest terms and I've been known to throw

00:26:25.260 out a couple of crude terms. I got it. I'm an Irishman and a naval officer. Sometimes it just slips.

00:26:30.700 And I run a little hot sometimes. He is one of the crudest descriptions for Tucker Carlson. What

00:26:37.980 has Tucker Carlson done? Stood up for his nation and want to know where the grift is. And this is

00:26:43.340 a guy on Piers Morgan comes yesterday on Piers Morgan and Zelensky sitting there and says this

00:26:50.620 crude thing about Tucker Carlson on the day after he told the Associated Press, I only got 77 billion

00:26:57.260 dollars. I don't know what the Marjorie Taylor Greene abandoned all these guys are wanting about. What

00:27:00.380 are they talking about? I only got 77 billion. I know you allocated 179, but hey, I don't know.

00:27:06.060 I just got 77. It's an open secret in this city. It's an open secret with the CIA. It's open secret

00:27:12.620 in New York and the city of London that they've been stealing with both hands. Open secret. They're

00:27:18.220 stealing with both hands. And right now we're a little too bogged down in that.

00:27:26.860 I'm not going to address Gaza because it's about focus and about opportunity costs. And we've got 0.82

00:27:33.100 we've got a shredder we're going into. Here's the shredder. It's not simply the reconciliations

00:27:38.620 bills. The reconciliation bills are trying to accomplish things and do things that are

00:27:44.700 good to have and actually saying the tax thing, yes, nice to have, you have to have, as Scott

00:27:49.020 Besson says. However, we have something fundamental that nobody wants to talk about. And now I'm

00:27:53.660 seeing inside the conference because we're hammering it. On the 14th of March at midnight,

00:27:58.940 the government's out of money again. It doesn't matter if Elon's over there. He's got the checkbook

00:28:05.500 or he's got insurance. He's finally gotten back. He's gone to OMB for the words allocated and then

00:28:10.220 gone back to the thing, got the checkbook, just stopping them writing checks doesn't solve. That's

00:28:15.820 not cutting spending. That's just slowing it down. I kind of dig it in one aspect of it.

00:28:20.700 It puts them on notice. Your money just can't flow. However, midnight on the 14th is the moment of

00:28:29.260 decision. We're either in or out. Do we actually shut down President Trump? Does he actually shut

00:28:36.780 down his own government from funding? I've been telling you about a very serious threat to your

00:28:44.460 home equity? Home title fraud. One document, a fake notary stamp, and about 40 bucks and your title

00:30:15.180 Okay, gold, birch gold, think gold's a 28. By the way, breaking news over at Zero Hedge,

00:30:20.520 Twitter, our own Jason Trenert of Strategius has been named the Assistant Secretary of Treasury for

00:30:31.420 Financial Markets. That's great. That's fabulous. We've lost the entire economic team, it says,

00:30:36.220 for EJ and Tony and Dave Brett. This is how desperate I am. I got a failed pro tennis player

00:30:41.360 here that finally had to make a living, so he went and he went to work, he went to, he taught

00:30:47.140 at a college of poets, I'm kidding. Brad's my go-to now in all things economics. And by

00:30:53.300 the way, to show you Brad stepping up to the plate, he's been coming to me all night with

00:30:58.500 these detailed mathematical calculus formulas that proving, he's like a mad professor now,

00:31:04.560 saying, I figured it out. He's on the whiteboard. I go, Dave, stop, stop. I said, no, Besant's

00:31:10.540 gone. Peter's on CNN this morning. We're going to get Peter. Peter was great on CNN, Navarro.

00:31:15.560 You got Besant, vote. They're slowing down vote. They just said they're going to do 30 hours.

00:31:20.000 They're so apoplectic on vote. Rachel Maddow, every night, she's back to work five nights a 1.00

00:31:25.040 week. She ain't happy about it, okay?

00:31:26.700 Good, good.

00:31:27.340 She's on vote every night. 0.96

00:31:30.140 Morning Joe's doing 15-minute segments on the price of eggs. Just for the Republican caucus

00:31:34.540 over there. Look, only 170 people went to Doral. That is a warning flare. Why didn't everybody

00:31:43.500 go? What I'm hearing is that people are very upset that there's not enough serious work

00:31:48.580 going on this budget. And look, the reconciliations are fine. And there's no plan for that. Lindsey

00:31:58.180 Graham in the Senate, you should know, is coming forward with the two. They're coming forward

00:32:02.420 with the border and energy, et cetera. They're not doing it because they're friends of War

00:32:10.200 Room. Remember, the Senate's moving. The Senate's moving at the donors. The donors are very

00:32:14.700 concerned that if you have one big, beautiful bill, it's easier to vote down. They got to

00:32:19.680 get those tax cuts. I actually think it's easier if we bifurcate them. First of all, we got

00:32:25.920 to get the border. They don't have the money right now to do what Homan and these guys want

00:32:29.680 to do. Remember, it's mass deportations. The onesies Tuesday they're doing now is heroic.

00:32:34.520 I love the optics. We do know, though, from people there, it's getting harder. It's administrative

00:32:39.360 warrants. Pam Bondi is going to change that. Pam is going to be at the White House at 1130. 0.81

00:32:44.200 We may cut to the Oval Office. She may be in with the president. We'll cut to Pam Bondi.

00:32:47.960 He got approved last night. Seagal Chata out in Nevada has sent me. 19 attorney generals

00:32:54.680 are suing now, I think, on Kash Patel. So what was said on Richard Maller the last three

00:33:00.480 or four nights, they're digging in now. They're shattered. They don't have a leader. John Stewart

00:33:06.140 is telling Schumer, you've got to get off TV. But they're trying to regroup. They're trying

00:33:10.120 to look at a rally point, just like we did in 21. Remember that. And they're going to have

00:33:14.340 it. And they have many more resources. They still have the media. These guys are far from

00:33:19.180 done. This make this is why USAID has to get done because you're taking out a funding

00:33:24.180 pool. OK, so I want to go to a birch goal. The price of gold hit another all time high, 0.88

00:33:31.780 I think, overnight. I'm not here hawking gold. What I'm what we're making available to you

00:33:37.760 is in your thinking. And we know the audience loves receipts and loves details. It's very important,

00:33:46.240 we believe, for you to understand in all the range of alternative financial alternatives,

00:33:50.880 you need a hedge against times of turbulence. That's what gold's always been.

00:33:54.880 How gold's performed over the last couple of years has traditionally not had gold performance.

00:33:58.640 Dave Bratt knows this. I mean, I think we picked up it was like eleven hundred bucks an ounce or

00:34:01.980 twelve hundred bucks. You've never had these kind of moves. The moves are going because of the

00:34:09.040 decrease of the purchasing power of the dollar. Why is that? OK, let me think for a second. Hang on.

00:34:13.680 Oh, the deficits, the federal spending. It all gets the railhead all gets back.

00:34:18.440 The apparatus has more control over you. They're more involved in every aspect of your life.

00:34:22.860 Right. Inflation goes and now it's embedded. Bill Ackman. Can we put up the can we put up

00:34:28.540 the tweet from Ackman? You know, Ackman's no no fan of war war. But he is a major axe on

00:34:35.820 Wall Street as a hedge fund. I think he runs Pershing Pershing Square Capital. Pershing

00:34:40.920 Square Capital, as you know, is is one of the little squares there in New York that are

00:34:44.700 dotted with him. The and he's saying he has a whole thing about Elon Musk and about

00:34:51.540 Lenny Doge do their work and find these find these cuts and do this in supporting President

00:34:56.480 Trump and Elon Musk. But his preamble is the mantra of the war is that at thirty six trillion

00:35:02.600 and adding a trillion dollars every couple hundred days or so and having deficits still

00:35:07.840 annually at two trillion dollars in perpetuity, because, ladies and gentlemen, this is as far

00:35:12.480 as the eye can see. He's saying it's not sustainable. Plus, he gets to the point in having to refinance

00:35:17.740 that. He gets down to it. We're having to refinance that a third of it essentially every

00:35:22.280 year at higher and higher rates, because that's what's happening, that you're embedding

00:35:27.260 inflation that you can only take away when you cut the deficits. We're not talking about

00:35:32.800 in your lifetime, the lived experience of this audience. We will not get to ever taking off

00:35:40.500 a dollar, the principal amount of the of the debt. It won't happen. The struggle now, even

00:35:45.040 Elon Musk went for two trillion off the six point five now to now one trillion off. And

00:35:53.180 I'm not faulting him. I think he's understanding it's a lot more complicated. It's not like a

00:35:57.020 company. And this is my point about the OMB, where the money was, was, I think, shocked everybody

00:36:01.820 that, wow, it's everywhere. Head Start, Meals on Wheels in every congressional district. They were

00:36:05.800 getting blown up down a Doral. This is why this is why President Trump retracted the memo. But

00:36:10.940 remember, not the content of the memo, which was slow down payments. And it shows you everywhere.

00:36:15.940 Also shows you a complexity of Medicaid. Medicaid, you would think Medicaid and Defense

00:36:19.420 Department be the two you look at. Medicaid ain't so easy. Because since corporations haven't

00:36:24.240 been paying anybody and not picking up health care, Medicaid's in there. You know, it's it's

00:36:29.680 it's in it's going to MAGA, particularly working class Americans. That's just a reality you have

00:36:34.620 to face. So with all that, it gets down to Elon then cuts to a trillion dollars starting

00:36:41.680 next year. And what he's going to do is identify four billion a day between now and October

00:36:47.240 1st, the new fiscal year to identify and kick in. And I'm only my point is, yo, I got

00:36:52.560 that. But right now, I know you're doing the line diagram. But this weekend, sit down and

00:36:58.720 just round up to the nearest hundred billion. You do this in restructuring all the time.

00:37:04.480 You're not going to get to the fifth decimal place. You don't need to get to the fifth

00:37:07.780 decimal place. The thing's so big and out of control. And this is what's out of control

00:37:12.120 is the spending. And it's the system. Elon is out like I was a junior officer on a Navy

00:37:20.400 ship. You have to what's called fight the ship. You have to understand how a combatant

00:37:25.400 as a system works. And you also have to learn when the enemy gets a vote, when when you're

00:37:32.320 in combat and things start blowing up, you have to know the system well enough that you

00:37:36.400 can revert on damage control and do other things. You've seen this if you've ever watched

00:37:39.840 some of the war films about Navy ships. Elon's engineering brain is doing the same

00:37:44.780 thing. OMB memo is to find out where the cash is, how much percentage of it's out there

00:37:49.180 and where does it go. And he goes to the railhead, then back to Treasury that actually writes the

00:37:56.240 checks. And, you know, in Trump's version of the world, hey, the way you control a company

00:38:02.840 is control the checkbook. You don't sign any checks that you can slow down payments.

00:38:07.340 You can stretch out. You can make vendors a permanent part of your capital structure.

00:38:13.000 People do that all the time in restructurings. Right. I'll give you 10 percent. Now you

00:38:17.160 got to stretch your payments out. If vendors want to keep selling stuff, they have to do

00:38:20.420 it. It hurts them. But hey, that's just the life. And if people everybody in the audience

00:38:24.340 knows that you run a small business. But at the end of the day, the appropriations bill

00:38:31.800 is a law. It's a law for a reason. It's statutory. Everybody they vote on it. They negotiate it

00:38:39.660 for a year. They allocate it. And it goes into a first a Treasury where the payments go.

00:38:44.420 Then OMB had a manager had a look at it. But it's a law. President Trump's theory of the

00:38:49.180 case and Mark Paoletta and Jeff Clark and Russ Vogt, you know, three guys have been on the

00:38:55.800 show a lot, have this theory of the case of impoundment. And their theory of the case

00:39:00.160 of impoundment, like in the Green News scam, when President Trump signs an executive order

00:39:03.820 and say the Green News scam is over, right, that the $300 billion they're saying, they remember

00:39:09.040 the headline of the Financial Times, $300 billion. President Trump can grab that because

00:39:13.240 the trillion dollars was a ceiling and he can, in the unified theory of the executive,

00:39:20.140 chief executive, he can make a determination and give me that money and I'm going to reallocate

00:39:24.580 that to Tom Homan, et cetera. Okay? This is, by the way, it's an interesting theory. We happen

00:39:30.480 to believe it's correct here in the war room. But nine people in black robes across the street 0.83

00:39:35.460 are eventually going to make a decision on that day, Brad. So, and here's the thing. The 14th,

00:39:39.780 this train's left the station and it's hurtling down to a conclusion. Everything should be put

00:39:44.700 aside right now for the next 30 days. And Elon should sit down with the president. I understand

00:39:49.780 you're doing this stuff and running around and shutting down the FBI and God bless you. We need

00:39:53.800 it. However, the main thing is to make sure that, and we should have this, if it's going

00:40:00.300 to be too, if we don't have the political will and the votes to cut it, then let's just have

00:40:07.420 an adult conversation. Then we got to figure out how to finance it. But right now we're

00:40:10.780 kidding ourselves. And this is why you're seeing Byron Donalds. And this is why you're seeing

00:40:15.460 Eli Crane and Andy Biggs and the same guys. And Byron Donalds gets it. He's going to run

00:40:20.540 for governor of Florida. He wants to be part of a team that got something done in the house

00:40:25.420 day, Brad.

00:40:26.340 Yeah. Well, that's, that's the main point right there is back when I came in with Paul Ryan

00:40:31.300 and I assume these guys had a plan. There was no plan. And so now why is Elon, all the pressures

00:40:38.400 on Elon for this trillion, because the house and the Senate have totally failed. And the American

00:40:43.180 people are starting to see right now with these stories converging, Barrasso and Lindsey Graham

00:40:48.380 versus the speaker, Mike Johnson, in this debate over the one big, beautiful bill. How in the world

00:40:54.180 do we not have our ducks in a row, right? The left is planning to come after us. Schumer's going

00:40:59.240 bananas right now. MSNBC is blowing up. The time will come when they attack and we're not ready

00:41:07.100 to go. I mean, we're doing great work right now, but the House and the Senate aren't responsible

00:41:11.060 for any of it. Joni Ernst wrote an article yesterday, was in an article yesterday. She's

00:41:15.700 scared of USAID. She says they're coming after her. USAID is threatening her.

00:41:20.160 Oh, stop. What do you mean USAID is threatening her? What does that mean?

00:41:22.520 $50 billion. They said, you can't look to a U.S. senator. You can't look at these contracts.

00:41:27.300 You can't look at this classified stuff because you might leak it. They work for her, right? And so

00:41:32.960 this is the problem. This is the House and the Senate have been letting this go on for 20 years.

00:41:38.240 And now it's all coming out, right? And so the House and the Senate are going to look really bad

00:41:42.760 as this news emerges. And so getting back to your egg thing, right? This inflation and eggs are up.

00:41:50.160 It's total gaslighting, right? Prices went up 22% under the Biden regime. Inflation is 3% this year.

00:41:56.780 So prices are up 25% over the past five years. 25% out of your retirement account, by the way,

00:42:03.120 not just eggs. Your retirement account is worth 25% less. That has not sunk into the average American

00:42:10.580 person yet. And so-

00:42:12.740 It sank into the bricks.

00:42:13.920 Yeah.

00:42:14.300 This is why they tried to bind together to have a gold bank. And President Trump said,

00:42:17.760 hey, look, I love the bricks, 100% tariffs and you keep messing around with the dollar, right?

00:42:22.300 And people are getting confused about the causes of inflation. Friedman had it right. It's always

00:42:27.140 when you print $9 trillion M2, you're going to get inflation. It's money printing.

00:42:32.160 Explain that.

00:42:32.760 Yeah.

00:42:33.080 So-

00:42:33.320 What's M2?

00:42:34.040 M2 is the amount of money in your economy, right? And so if you print way too much money,

00:42:37.980 you're supposed to print the percent change of GDP growth. Skip the details here though.

00:42:43.180 What matters is people think government spending causes inflation. It does not. It appears to,

00:42:48.940 because every time we spend government spending is $2 trillion, the Federal Reserve comes in and

00:42:54.560 accommodates it. That's the big word for the day when it comes to the Fed. The Federal Reserve

00:42:59.400 accommodates their spending so that interest rates don't go through the roof. That is not

00:43:05.060 really their job, right? They're not supposed to be accommodating and making it easy for our

00:43:10.320 government to run $2 trillion deficits. But when you have the Uniparty and no congressional

00:43:16.000 oversight from the House and the Senate, again, I repeat myself, for the past 30 years, the Fed

00:43:21.280 gets us into the 0708 financial crisis, creates the Tea Party movement. That leads into this

00:43:27.220 populist movement that's international in scope. Trump is clear in the field right now. The left is

00:43:33.580 apoplectic. But it all comes down to this $36 trillion in debt. That's $36 trillion. Where do you

00:43:40.620 see that in our economy? What's that $36 trillion in debt done for you, as Steve says, every day?

00:43:45.600 Where do you see it? Do you see it in the cities? Do you see it in human capital? Do you see it

00:43:48.740 anywhere? It's crowding out our ability to do anything, right? Yeah, we're coming up. Hang on

00:43:53.740 one second. We're going to take a short break. I've listened to the audience. Dave is in the room.

00:44:00.920 He's at the mic. Short break. Back in a moment.

00:44:03.540 We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP.

00:44:08.920 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every

00:44:13.720 month? Steve Bannon here. War room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man,

00:44:20.220 a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital

00:44:25.880 markets. Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual

00:44:34.340 number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's

00:44:41.200 presidency in your financial future. His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage

00:44:48.380 for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to

00:44:54.620 national security. Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for

00:45:00.520 strategic intelligence. This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, strategic intelligence.

00:45:06.900 I read it. You should read it. Time is running out. Go to Rickardswarroom.com. That's all one word,

00:45:12.720 Rickardswarroom. Rickards with an S. Go now and claim your free book. That's Rickardswarroom.com.

00:45:19.560 Do it today.

00:45:23.380 So, Birch Gold, make sure this is about turbulence. I want you to be as smart as possible. The end of

00:45:37.120 the dollar empire. Make sure you go and get It's Been on Fire, the request for this. Modern monetary

00:45:42.880 theory. People are digging it. Brad's going to be here. We got Rickards coming on the geopolitics

00:45:50.160 and capital markets because, quite frankly, this is every March 14th. And I'm telling you now what's

00:45:56.260 going to happen is going to be extend the CR for one year. Extend the CR for one year. And that means

00:46:02.980 we're going off last year's spending, which is, it's still Biden's, it's Biden's numbers. We have to face

00:46:09.800 the reality. We kick this thing into the can to make sure that President Trump get a shot at doing

00:46:13.440 the budget. We have to do it. Johnson, these guys, everything should be dropped right now.

00:46:18.520 The focus should be on this. You need focus is power. Focus is power. I would actually say focus

00:46:25.040 oftentimes is a superpower. Right? Focus is power. It's one of the reasons we were one of the elements

00:46:31.580 with you and you were the major element of turning this thing around because we focus on going after

00:46:37.280 the illegitimate regime every day and able to get a rally point like they're trying to do right now

00:46:42.780 over on the left. And all I'm hearing all day, my phone's been blown up. People tell me, hey,

00:46:48.300 they're coming with lawsuits. They're trying to slow everything down. They're trying to slow

00:46:51.660 to get through the hundred days and the six months and then basically try to entangle President Trump

00:46:57.540 and everything. This is why we don't need to entangle ourselves in more things. The list of stuff we

00:47:03.440 have is monumental. It will return America to its greatness, but you have to rank order those of

00:47:08.960 what we have to do. And the, um, you know, as much as it's positive and things are positive,

00:47:15.640 when you look at Gallup and these others, it's about 48 or 49% approval is about 47% disapproval.

00:47:24.040 Now I know in groups we break out and I would say actually this thing could be in the mid fifties,

00:47:28.180 but even that, given what you're trying to accomplish, which is huge is, uh, is amazingly,

00:47:34.600 you know, important. Uh, Patriot mobile, make sure I'm in, I'm in, um, I'm in, um, uh, on the 28th,

00:47:45.060 Friday night, the 28th in Tarrant County. If we can get that up, Poso is going to be with me.

00:47:50.120 So I'm going to give a major address down there to the Tarrant County Republican party. Patriot mobile's

00:47:55.340 putting it on Patriot mobile, your Christian values backed up every day by Glenn story and the team,

00:48:02.200 just absolutely amazing. Um, so I'll be down there on Friday. We'll probably be doing the show

00:48:07.340 from around down in the Dallas Fort worth area. We'll figure it out and get, uh, get notification

00:48:12.280 to you, um, about what we do. Also at CPAC, we're going to be at CPAC, um, in a very special,

00:48:20.320 I think we're working on some special accommodations given the size of the show and the amount of people

00:48:24.700 we're bringing CPAC.org put in a war room. You get a 20, you get a huge discount. Tickets are 76

00:48:31.120 bucks, essentially giving them away to the war and posse. Cause they want another huge turnout of the 0.95

00:48:35.680 couple of thousand that we, we brought last year. So, uh, pretty amazing. Also, uh, Patriot mobile,

00:48:41.740 uh, in birch gold, birch gold, make sure you go and get all the access, the information. They got a

00:48:47.000 great thing. Invest, investing in gold during the age of Trump. Second term, read it, understand,

00:48:53.060 and then talk to Philip Patrick and the team. Professor. Yeah. You've been, you've been chomping

00:48:57.260 the bit here. Yep. Yep. You got the, Cameron, you got the chart with the equations up at the top.

00:49:02.480 This is wonky. I'm not going to make it wonky. This is wonky. No, this is beyond wonky. This is

00:49:07.240 right here. You don't get this at Harvard Business School. My brain is frozen. That's the problem,

00:49:12.480 right? Here's the fundamentals. There's three things that this is a solo Nobel prize winning

00:49:18.760 economic growth model, uh, solo 50 years ago, three things in that equation cost growth capital

00:49:24.440 stock. Uh, the capital stock in China right now is a hundred trillion in the U S of a it's only

00:49:30.080 70 trillion. So I hate to be a downer. We're doing great things right now. Elon, Trump, everything

00:49:35.360 that's just to stop the dumpster fire, right? They're just stopping the bleeding. They're stopping

00:49:40.720 the Marxist Leninist overtake of this country, but to rebuild, if you don't rebuild your capital

00:49:46.720 stock and we haven't even started, Trump's putting all the right moves in place for that to occur,

00:49:51.680 uh, three, uh, things in that equation, capital stock, human capital, the literacy rate in downtown

00:49:56.980 Chicago for the poor kids is 12% of the kids can read in the third grade. You tell me how that's

00:50:02.840 the American citizen first that the liberals care about. And third is technological growth. So he's

00:50:07.360 got the techno brothers on board, uh, but we'll see if they can put policies in place that help the

00:50:13.060 middle-class, uh, next chart, uh, Denver. I just want to bring this one up. I'm giving this talk at

00:50:18.080 the Atlantic council, uh, in a couple hours, uh, with some of our friends from Ukraine.

00:50:23.100 Hold it. Stop. Stop. Talk about Buzzkill. The Atlantic council is the word. I'm a convertum.

00:50:29.920 You're there as a populist nation. That's the biggest globalist. Okay. Yes. I'm going full on.

00:50:35.600 Uh, look at this chart. Uh, you can go back to 1981 Denver. Uh, there's India and China,

00:50:40.480 the big red balls making $2,000 a year, uh, in 1980. I see all those yellow balls to the far

00:50:47.720 right. Uh, the rich ones, the further to the right you are, the richer are all those yellow 1.00

00:50:51.840 balls are what's known as Protestant Christian countries in Western Europe, the free market

00:50:57.400 system, all the humanity made $500 a year for all the human history until we chose it's a social

00:51:03.840 choice, the free market system. This does not go against anything in the Trump agenda.

00:51:09.560 He's trying to get back to a level playing field where the globalists and the European elites

00:51:15.540 in Canada's true dough and Mexican, Mexican criminal class, not the people. We love all the people

00:51:21.780 everywhere. Uh, but the, the elitists have been ripping off the United States forever. Canada's,

00:51:27.240 uh, spending on defense is 1.4%. It should be 4%. And they're lecturing us. Uh, what I want to point

00:51:34.960 out on that graph right there, those Christian countries, this is by Bradford DeLong, a top

00:51:39.680 economist at Berkeley. I don't think he's a Presbyterian. The probability of the Christian 1.00

00:51:44.800 countries growing like that is one in 10,000. There's a one in 10,000 chance that all those

00:51:51.460 Christian countries grew the fastest in the world, uh, at random. It didn't happen that way.

00:51:57.820 Our, our most recent, uh, Nobel prize in economics went for the outstanding contribution that private

00:52:04.300 property rights and the rule of law is helpful to economic growth. No kidding. Uh, so is the

00:52:10.040 Christian religion. Uh, so is a morality. All of our founders knew that. I get grief with it,

00:52:15.060 but this is the underpinnings of the Judeo-Christian West. Yeah, that's right. Those, those ethics and

00:52:19.740 those values. Yeah, that's right. And, and, and, uh, and the, uh, the work ethic, uh, the husbanding

00:52:25.940 of resources, the stewardship, all of it, Old Testament and New Testament combined led to the

00:52:32.400 underpinnings of that that make these successful societies. Correct. And you can copy the cookbook.

00:52:37.420 Japan did, but then MIDI that their manufacturing got too tight with the government and they had

00:52:41.920 lost decade or two. Like we're about ready to have. And as I mean by that, well, our culture is fading

00:52:47.480 too. We're going to these techno bros. I thought, I thought we're heading to a new golden age.

00:52:51.280 President Trump tells me that we're going to get that story. Okay. The right stuff. What's the

00:52:56.000 right stuff mean to you? Right stuff is the Judeo-Christian West and everything that goes with it. 0.86

00:53:01.060 That it's indefinable, but you know it when you see it. And I see it in Dave Bratt.

00:53:07.380 Bratt, when are you going into treasury and get a real job? Don't go to the Atlantic Council.

00:53:12.520 I'm waiting for the invisible hand. It's going to happen. Something will happen.
