Bannon's War Room - Episode 4508： Building The Case For Economic Populism

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,

00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 Here's another time I got a free shot

00:00:12.000 at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country,

00:00:40.000 this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:51.000 It is Friday, 23 May, Euroville, or 2025.

00:00:54.000 Welcome back for the second hour of the morning edition of The War Room.

00:00:57.000 Just some programming notes tonight at six.

00:01:00.000 Todd Benzman and others.

00:01:02.000 We're spending the entire hour about the state of Texas,

00:01:05.000 particularly these bills are in front of the Texas legislature,

00:01:08.000 regarding working with ICE to,

00:01:11.000 to make sure deportations, illegal aliens happen, all of this.

00:01:14.000 So make sure you stick around.

00:01:15.000 Todd Benzman.

00:01:16.000 Todd Benzman, kind of his exit interview.

00:01:18.000 Todd, on Tuesday, starts as the right-hand man for Holmans over at DHS.

00:01:24.000 So Todd Benzman, one of our contributors the last couple of years today,

00:01:27.000 his exit interview here on The War Room.

00:01:29.000 Natalie Winters, you've built a great reputation investigating the Chinese Communist Party.

00:01:34.000 Is this shot across the ballot, Harvard, a show that the Trump administration is now understands

00:01:42.000 and are digging down the Wall Street Journal's great piece today about the digital fortress,

00:01:46.000 fortress China they've been building since they ripped up the trade deal in 2019.

00:01:51.000 Are people, is your sense that both at State, National Security Council, obviously the economic guys,

00:01:57.000 they realize that they're at economic war with us,

00:02:00.000 and both sides are kind of digging in now, regardless of how any type of trade deal is put together?

00:02:06.000 Well, I think it's our own version of unrestricted warfare, right?

00:02:13.000 I think if you juxtapose, we were just talking about, right, what Christopher Wray,

00:02:17.000 what Trump, one, had done in terms of going after, whether it was the FERA violations,

00:02:21.000 the Thousand Talents program violations, the sort of uncanny, uncomfortable overlap

00:02:26.000 between Chinese grants used to pull or decouple Western elites and researchers from the West

00:02:32.000 to have them sort of boost not just the technology and energy infrastructure,

00:02:37.000 but the civil-military fusion, the outright military capabilities of the PRC.

00:02:41.000 But you have to juxtapose what Trump, President Trump is doing, his FBI.

00:02:45.000 Meanwhile, you have, what, James Comey?

00:02:48.000 They're so willing to talk tough about calling for assassinations against President Trump,

00:02:52.000 call him out as an autocrat, as a dictator.

00:02:54.000 They don't have one one-millionth of that intensity when they call out the threat that the PRC poses, right?

00:03:00.000 Talk about a double standard. You want to know who's bought and paid for?

00:03:03.000 Look at the people. You think he's going to put 86 CCP, 86 Xi?

00:03:07.000 No, these people are completely controlled. And you know what?

00:03:10.000 They're controlled because the PRC, as this audience well knows,

00:03:13.000 has been waging unrestricted warfare in the style that the Trump administration is now engaging in

00:03:17.000 to the point where basically all of our rare earths, they dominate that market.

00:03:21.000 But more importantly, the processing.

00:03:23.000 So even these batteries, we are relying on them for the magnets, you name it, the chips.

00:03:28.000 And you see the tech bros pushing to export more of these NVIDIA chips,

00:03:32.000 a lot of these sort of semiconductor chips to companies that are essentially just proxies,

00:03:36.000 if not outright subsidiaries to the PRC, particularly the UAE and Qatar.

00:03:42.000 In Qatar, and it's extremely concerning, I think that you've always sort of seen the China threat dismissed as something that,

00:03:48.000 oh, we're being, you know, hairs on fire, pants on fire.

00:03:51.000 Any issue that we've ever been called hyperbolic or fear mongering over, we've actually been right.

00:03:56.000 And the whole PSYOP that they waged by importing foreign students from the PRC into the United States 0.99

00:04:02.000 at elite institutions like Harvard was to anesthetize and desensitize the American people

00:04:07.000 to the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses, the fact that any Chinese individual, foreign national, 0.88

00:04:12.000 who is over here, company, business, you name it, is subject to Article 7 of China's national intelligence law

00:04:18.000 and can be requisitioned to spy to advance the national interests of China however they deem fit.

00:04:24.000 They're at war with us, and we should stop educating the very same soldiers that we may come to meet one day, 1.00

00:04:29.000 if it ever turns kinetic, on the battlefield.

00:04:32.000 Natalie, I want to put up, if Denver can do it and Grace can push it out, this amazing article that's in The Hill,

00:04:39.000 I think you would agree it should be required reading of The War and Posse over the weekend?

00:04:45.000 One hundred percent.

00:04:48.000 Okay, China has an off switch for America.

00:04:50.000 This is a very well reported, a very tightly argued article.

00:04:55.000 We want to make sure everybody gets it.

00:04:57.000 Natalie, fantastic.

00:04:58.000 Where do people go for all your social media?

00:05:01.000 Since you're the lone guard, I guess, today on the media side at the White House.

00:05:09.000 Natalie Juenters, on all social media platforms, wish me luck.

00:05:12.000 I'm about to tape another interview, probably a debate with a legacy media outlet, a foreign globalist one at that.

00:05:18.000 Hold it, I hope they've looked at your previous one, and the interviewer definitely has some ability to come back when you start pulling them up,

00:05:28.000 because you've got a pretty perfect track record so far.

00:05:30.000 I hope so too, but probably not.

00:05:35.000 Thank you for having me as always.

00:05:37.000 Okay, Natalie Winters, our White House correspondent.

00:05:39.000 Thank you so much.

00:05:40.000 Fantastic.

00:05:41.000 Dave Walsh.

00:05:42.000 Dave Walsh.

00:05:43.000 The kill switch.

00:05:44.000 You know, and Captain Fennell has been sent me another great bunch of information about the cables.

00:05:50.000 I mean, does the Chinese Communist Party, you think right now, actually have an embedded kill switch into America's energy, electrical, logistics, all of it, sir?

00:06:00.000 Well, it appears they do.

00:06:02.000 I mean, this importation of Chinese product in the energy system is not new.

00:06:06.000 It's been going on six years heavily.

00:06:08.000 The last 91%, last six years, 91% of what's been applied here in power generation space has been solar and wind and inverters.

00:06:17.000 Of that 70% solar, of that 87% of the solar is made in China.

00:06:22.000 So they have a massive installed base here now, solar panels and inverters.

00:06:27.000 The inverters, and they were called out by even Reuters 10 days ago, discovered in the UK and here now by regulators.

00:06:34.000 The inverters, the switch that converts power from useless DC to usable, efficient AC, but can also control an entire array of solar panels to shut it down remotely.

00:06:46.000 And we've now discovered sensors, even according to Reuters, who are the left of the leftist media on energy, in solar panels here and inverters here.

00:06:57.000 These were previously discovered also in a couple of Chinese made power transformers taken to the Sandia labs back in 2017 for examination where kill switches were found in them also.

00:07:09.000 So they're, you know, these guys are not our friend.

00:07:14.000 They are an enemy of the country, the CCP specifically.

00:07:19.000 This has to be taken very seriously.

00:07:20.000 All this equipment needs examined before we go ahead with the importation of any more of it.

00:07:25.000 It all needs examined for the presence of these because on a statistical basis, we've discovered, we've discovered this now.

00:07:31.000 This is a huge issue.

00:07:32.000 Their ability to shut down, and as you grow more of this installed base, the more serious one of these events can be to bring down the whole grid.

00:07:40.000 This is insane.

00:07:42.000 We're limited time, but I just got to get your feedback before the weekend.

00:07:45.000 The big, beautiful bill going to the Senate.

00:07:48.000 Is the Green New Deal totally crushed, or is your guidance for the Senate, more needs to be done here?

00:07:55.000 No, we need to do more.

00:07:57.000 The incentives alone are a massive cash flow drain on the country.

00:08:01.000 And if you look at the direct line of what the incentives are doing is incentivizing the manufacturing and importation of Chinese power generation equipment.

00:08:11.000 80% of the incentives support battery storage, solar power, and the battery storage made necessary by intermittent part-time solar power, all made in China, 87% of it.

00:08:22.000 That's what we're incentivizing.

00:08:23.000 That's insane.

00:08:24.000 That needs to be eliminated.

00:08:26.000 They have made some movements on Chinese equipment not coming in, but it's not just that.

00:08:31.000 It's solar overall and battery storage are simply too expensive for the American rate payer and for industry to survive here.

00:08:40.000 And use that for AI and data centers who need 100% of the time power, like most of the rest of us.

00:08:45.000 So more needs done.

00:08:48.000 Yes.

00:08:49.000 Last thing before we go.

00:08:52.000 To make the pitch that the administration has to make that the scoring is kind of off because CBO only tastes in certain variables.

00:09:01.000 Do you believe a better case has to be made by the White House and the administration on the great job they've done of making plentiful and cheap energy the foundational element of our economic renaissance?

00:09:15.000 And to show how that leads into this three, three and a half percent growth rate, sir.

00:09:20.000 Yeah, there's there are some additional great things happening.

00:09:23.000 I mean, Chris Wright has been very outspoken about keeping open all the power plants that are scheduled out of close in the next three years of about 130 gigawatts of power plants coal oil and gas are on the docks to be shut down in the next three years.

00:09:37.000 They all provide baseload continuous duty energy, just the act of having the DOE step in through FERC and mandate to show cause that you can't shut these down unless you have 24 hour a day dispatchable sources to replace them.

00:09:50.000 I think he's going to go in that direction.

00:09:52.000 That by itself is a great move to restore confidence in US energy markets electricity wise.

00:09:58.000 The the the offshore production oil and gas has been terrific, terrific progress in that front.

00:10:04.000 You've seen in gas prices at the pump, significant progress there.

00:10:09.000 Dave Walsh, where do people go to get all your information on social media, sir?

00:10:13.000 You can find me on getter X and true social Dave Walsh energy.

00:10:18.000 Thank you, Steve.

00:10:19.000 Thank you, brother. Great.

00:10:20.000 Want to make sure the White House incorporates that.

00:10:22.000 It's absolutely imperative.

00:10:24.000 Let's go back to Ben Harnwell.

00:10:25.000 We're getting Orrin Cass up.

00:10:28.000 He's got a lot to say about the big, beautiful bill.

00:10:30.000 The Wall Street Journal just tweeted out.

00:10:32.000 Ben, I want to make sure everybody understands this, because this is a critical or a whole discussion of the Vatican and Pope Leo and everything that's going on in the Chinese Communist Party.

00:10:41.000 The writer of this magnificent piece from the Wall Street Journal about the cash flow problem at the Vatican.

00:10:48.000 It's not bankrupt because it's got unbelievable assets, but it's it has a liquidity problem because the the base of the traditionalist part of the church cut them off from cash in the last couple of years, given the radicalness of Bergoglio.

00:11:04.000 And this is the reason that this is why I was able to predict that Cardinal Prevost would be 10 days before the conclave would be selected as pope because they need an American, just somebody that's not too American for the big donors to rip off on.

00:11:17.000 And now that Wall Street Journal, I guess, writers finally seeing the clips and going, wow, what world we live in?

00:11:22.000 Explain our logic here to the Wall Street Journal reporter, sir.

00:11:26.000 Steve, this is just a zoom out one moment.

00:11:33.000 This is the Wall Street Journal.

00:11:35.000 This isn't the war room.

00:11:37.000 OK, but this article has underlined everything that this show has been saying over the last five week period since the death of Pope Francis and almost to the word.

00:11:49.000 So that's the first point I want to make.

00:11:53.000 And I make this every time I get the opportunity now to the best news show in the world to break down what is actually happening in the Catholic Church is the war room. 0.68

00:12:05.000 Everything else, especially if it has the word Catholic in the title, is just feeding you sentimental based propaganda and BS.

00:12:13.000 If you actually want to know what is happening in the Catholic Church today, this is the only credible outlook for that.

00:12:20.000 Right. And that's, you know, Steve, you just in your introduction gave the perfect setup for that.

00:12:24.000 You were saying you're talking about Cardinal Prevost.

00:12:28.000 You also said this very argument, which we have been talking about on the on the war room.

00:12:34.000 This very argument that the reason they went the Cardinal that the conclave went for Prevost was about the money was about getting the donations back online.

00:12:42.000 And you fed that article right through to the, I think it was Corriere della Sera in the dominated for 24 hours, the Italian press debate.

00:12:50.000 Right. This is why this show is so important.

00:12:53.000 And I just say that because I do read all the comments on my get that I do know there's a lot of evangelicals that say, you know, why all this stuff about the Catholic Church?

00:13:00.000 They is extremely important if you're starting from the the idea that culture is upstream of politics.

00:13:07.000 The liberal elites captured the papacy with Bergoglio.

00:13:12.000 And then within two years of the start of that pontificate, this phenomenon of woke came out.

00:13:19.000 So what is happening in the Catholic Church is extremely important for these political battles we're fighting.

00:13:24.000 Steve, I'm going to come back after the break and dig down on this story in the Wall Street Journal.

00:13:28.000 It's extremely important that people understand.

00:13:31.000 And the point here, Steve, that this is shows, I actually think, the power of the war room audience, the power of the war room posse.

00:13:39.000 The Catholic MAGA, the media is already starting to call it because we have the purse strings.

00:13:45.000 When people say, what can you do? The Catholic Church is a hierarchy.

00:13:48.000 They have all the power. It's not true, folks. It's not true.

00:13:52.000 We hold the Catholic Church in our hands now because, as you say, as you said to the Corriere della Sera,

00:13:58.000 Catholic Church isn't bankrupt because it has so many fine assets, but it is an illiquid institution.

00:14:04.000 And I think that this Catholic MAGA, that if it exerts its pressure correctly, we will start to affect change. 0.89

00:14:13.000 OK, hang on, Ben. Ben is in Rome.

00:14:16.000 We are also going to have about the CPAC that's going to take place in Hungary and Poland.

00:14:21.000 A lot going on as we kick off our Memorial Day coverage.

00:14:24.000 Next in the war room, very honored to bring in one of the top public intellectuals about populism and economic nationalism.

00:14:32.000 He's not exactly thrilled with the big, beautiful bill as it currently stands, or at least Politico is reporting that.

00:14:38.000 Orrin Cass will join us on the other side. Back in the warm in just a moment.

00:14:43.000 But I'm American made. I got American power. I got American faith in America's heart.

00:15:00.000 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. In today's A.I. and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever.

00:15:09.000 And your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document.

00:15:15.000 Use a fake notary stamp, pay small fee with your county and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.

00:15:23.000 Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.

00:15:28.000 You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.

00:15:34.000 So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title?

00:15:40.000 If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:15:43.000 And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

00:15:46.000 That's why I trust Home Title Lock.

00:15:49.000 Use promo code Steve at HomeTitleLock.com to make sure your title is still in your name.

00:16:16.000 Use promo code Steve.

00:16:17.000 That's HomeTitleLock.com, promo code Steve.

00:16:20.000 Do it today.

00:16:22.000 The CBO scoring, I believe, which is tenure scoring and it's D.C. style scoring.

00:16:27.000 So we think that we can both grow the economy and control the debt.

00:16:33.000 And what's important, Bill, is that the economy grows faster than the debt.

00:16:37.000 So what I would tell your viewers to focus on is what I'm focused on, is what Secretary Yellen was focused on, is what is the total debt to GDP?

00:16:46.000 Because we can grow our way out of this.

00:16:48.000 That if we change the growth trajectory of the country, of the economy, then we will stabilize our finances and grow our way out of it.

00:16:59.000 Okay.

00:17:00.000 So that's the bet.

00:17:01.000 That's the supply side tax cut.

00:17:03.000 I would also recommend to our former contributor, Secretary of the Treasury, Besant, that I do believe the 6.5% of deficit to GDP and bending that arc down to 3.5% because what we're on now is not sustainable.

00:17:18.000 And, of course, I don't think I agree with him.

00:17:21.000 I don't think that they're putting that all in there, particularly to make sure that we have tariffs, all the cash flow from tariffs, and also to justify the growth rate.

00:17:30.000 And that's what we had Dave Walsh on to talk about energy, which I think is the central part of this.

00:17:36.000 Joining us now, Orrin Cass from American Compass.

00:17:39.000 Orrin, you're considered our public intellectual, kind of the leading populist economics expert out there.

00:17:48.000 Huge article in Politico, I think it was yesterday, that you're not totally thrilled with what you saw in the big, beautiful bill, and you think some changes could be made.

00:17:56.000 Just walk us through it, you know, from an economic populist point of view, your perspective of where we stand with this as it goes, and Ron Johnson and others are trying to combat this in the Senate.

00:18:08.000 Where do you think we stand right now?

00:18:10.000 Well, I just think it's been incredibly frustrating to see what sort of happened in Congress here.

00:18:17.000 I really appreciate the chance to talk with you about it, Steve, because, you know, you've been someone who's been out there.

00:18:22.000 I think, like, we have been making the case that if you're going to do populism right, you do have to, for instance, talk about taxes.

00:18:29.000 And so, you know, I think the President, Secretary Besant sort of raised this idea, maybe we do need to be thinking about raising some taxes on the highest income earners, because that's an important part of making all this work.

00:18:42.000 If you want to do some of the spending cuts that we really need to do and that are in the bill, you've got to pair that by showing you're going to ask those at the top end to bear some of the burden, too.

00:18:53.000 If you want to actually tackle the deficit, you've got to show that you are willing to add some more revenue.

00:18:58.000 And so I think there's some really good stuff in the bill.

00:19:01.000 You know, as I noted in the Politico piece, the way that they're treating business investment is really important.

00:19:06.000 It's good for growth.

00:19:08.000 They've got the child tax credit expanded.

00:19:11.000 That's going to be very good for families.

00:19:13.000 But I think if we really want to push forward in a way that addresses America's problem and that takes seriously the, you know, the President's base, it's got to both do the spending cuts.

00:19:23.000 It's got to be pro-growth.

00:19:25.000 And it's got to do something to probably raise some taxes as well.

00:19:30.000 Do you think right now, let's leave the taxes part off for a second.

00:19:34.000 Do you think as we stand on both the cuts and particularly sensitive cuts like Medicaid that we know that 25%, at least 25% of MAGA is on?

00:19:45.000 And Josh Hawley, who is one of our compatriots, is not happy about this.

00:19:49.000 Although I think the work requirements, et cetera, we've got to get all that out.

00:19:53.000 Where do you think we stand on the cuts first?

00:19:55.000 And from a populist point of view, do you buy the case that you see the potential growth of three to three and a half percent?

00:20:04.000 Because that part of the calculation changes everything.

00:20:06.000 But I think the White House has got to go make the case and they have to make it consistent.

00:20:10.000 It has to be Besant.

00:20:11.000 It has to be Hassett.

00:20:12.000 It has to be Navarro, Ludnig.

00:20:14.000 They got to go full on and say from tariff revenues coming back, because there's no calculation right now of what I understand is $300 billion to $600 billion, potentially annual cash and revenues from tariffs.

00:20:27.000 So let's take the cost side first.

00:20:29.000 Do you think we've done enough and done it in a populist way and then do the gross side?

00:20:34.000 So, yeah, I think on the cost side, there's actually a lot of good stuff in the bill.

00:20:39.000 You know, when you take something like the Medicaid side of things, you know, I think you're exactly right. 0.99

00:20:44.000 We do need to do reforms here.

00:20:46.000 I think, you know, populism, if you want to think about a productive populism that rebalances things, it starts to go too far when you just say, you know, we can't touch anything.

00:20:56.000 Because the reality is that spending has gotten way too high, especially post-pandemic, you know, it never went back to pre-pandemic levels.

00:21:04.000 Our health care system in particular, just, you know, one thing this bill does well, I think, for instance, is go after the hospital side of things.

00:21:12.000 Like, it's just not true that all of our health care spending is going to providing people with good care.

00:21:17.000 There's a lot that is not going where it needs to go at all.

00:21:21.000 And so, I think focusing on some of these reforms, insisting that we start to bring spending back down, that's great.

00:21:27.000 But, and I just, you know, it always has to be said, if you take the savings from those sorts of spending cuts and just plow them into reducing tax rates more, especially for people at the top, you can't claim that you've actually solved any problems.

00:21:44.000 You haven't reduced the deficit.

00:21:46.000 We've just taken those savings that we need and sent them right back out the door.

00:21:50.000 And so, that's where I think, substantively, if you're going to make the case that you're addressing the deficit, you have to be willing to do things on both sides.

00:21:58.000 And then, politically, if you want to ask people to bear some cost here, to say, look, guys, you know, what's happening is unsustainable.

00:22:06.000 We do need to make some cuts here.

00:22:09.000 You have to show that you're asking everybody to share in this, and you can't do it and then simultaneously say, and here's this giant tax cut on the other side.

00:22:21.000 Or, the staffs of all the guys in the Senate, a minute when the Senate, you know, watch us send clips, so this will be viewed over the weekend.

00:22:30.000 The Senate now has it, and we know behind closed doors that a lot of the senators are saying, hey, we got to do something here to make these numbers better.

00:22:38.000 And one of the ways we got to look at is potentially not giving, not extending the tax cut to the upper bracket or put in a new category of millionaires at 40%.

00:22:48.000 But make sure we take care of the entrepreneurs because you don't want to kill the job creators.

00:22:51.000 Make your best case. We've got a couple of minutes here.

00:22:53.000 Make your best case to the Senate of the bill coming out now, because this will be a firestorm if they take this part on.

00:23:00.000 What is Oren Kass's best argument for why this needs to be considered by the Senate to come out of their bill?

00:23:07.000 Well, first of all, just to make the math work, the math is going to look a lot better if instead of doing a big tax cut at the top, you actually let rates go back or up a little bit at the top.

00:23:20.000 The flip side is those aren't the pieces of the policy that are what's most important for the growth.

00:23:27.000 The tax policy that you really need for the growth is the stuff like the business investment, which should absolutely be in there.

00:23:33.000 You know, the corporate rate cuts were already made permanent, so you don't have to even be talking about those.

00:23:38.000 And so if you're making the substantive economic case, you have to be more concerned about the deficit.

00:23:44.000 You have to look at what's happening in the market and with interest rates when people think Congress isn't serious about the deficit.

00:23:50.000 And so for all of those reasons, you have to be willing to say, and by the way, this is what the president said.

00:23:57.000 This is what Secretary Besson said.

00:23:58.000 They were out there saying because they recognized that this is, I think, the best the bill can look.

00:24:04.000 You need the serious spending cuts.

00:24:06.000 You're doing taxes in a way that is useful for working families.

00:24:11.000 You're expending the child tax credit.

00:24:13.000 But then at the top, let those rates go up a little bit.

00:24:17.000 It is ultimately, I think, going to be better for the economy.

00:24:20.000 It is going to be politically much more saleable.

00:24:23.000 And you're going to be able to say with a straight face, we're actually being fiscally conservative.

00:24:28.000 We're being serious here.

00:24:30.000 And we're doing what people elected us to do.

00:24:33.000 Because the last thing I would just say is, you know, we've done a lot of polling.

00:24:36.000 Everyone has done a lot of polling on this.

00:24:38.000 Everyone finds the same thing, which is that even the Republican base is not interested in a no tax increases ever policy.

00:24:46.000 They know some taxes need to go up.

00:24:48.000 They are very comfortable with asking people at the top to pay a little bit more.

00:24:52.000 And so that is both substantively the right economic thing to be doing, and it is politically the right way to put a package together.

00:25:00.000 One last thing before I ask you about American Compass.

00:25:03.000 The no tax on Social Security.

00:25:05.000 Are you happy where it stands today, or do you think that really has to be really to what the President said?

00:25:10.000 We have to have no tax on Social Security.

00:25:12.000 Honestly, I think given everything that we already are dealing with in the bill, I would much rather see the current bill get to a sort of sustainable place before we start adding additional stuff on top of it.

00:25:26.000 And so I think, you know, there's lots of other tax reform we could be doing, but I wouldn't be looking for additional tax cuts before we've shown that we can actually move in a more fiscally serious way that is actually going to lay a good foundation for growth.

00:25:40.000 And that would be exemplified by the bond market, particularly the tens and the out years.

00:25:45.000 Tell us about your organization.

00:25:47.000 You guys are the leading kind of think tank for economic populism, economic nationalism.

00:25:52.000 Tell us who you guys are, and where can people go to get all your great content?

00:25:56.000 Yeah, sure.

00:25:57.000 So American Compass is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month.

00:26:01.000 We've been sort of trying to build the case and the policy agenda for doing economic populism right,

00:26:07.000 and actually reorienting the economy toward working people and working families and doing that in a way that's consistent with conservative principles.

00:26:16.000 I have a new book coming out called The New Conservatives that kind of lays all that out and especially would love for people to check out.

00:26:23.000 We have a magazine now called Commonplace at commonplace.org that I think just has all the best new thinking on this.

00:26:29.000 One of our advisors, Daniel Kishi, just did a fantastic piece on public opinion about labor, saying there are some pro-labor reforms that are really popular even with Republicans,

00:26:39.000 and we should be doing those even as we recognize there are others that are unpopular and we shouldn't be doing.

00:26:45.000 And so, you know, love for people to check that out and hope we can talk about some more of it in the future.

00:26:51.000 Or real quickly, the book, where can people pre-order? This book is a collection of articles you've put up before all in one place.

00:26:59.000 It's absolutely amazing. Got Lighthizers, got everybody. 0.99

00:27:01.000 If you really want to have an understanding of where we stand as the American economy,

00:27:05.000 and particularly from a populist perspective, this is a must-read. Where do people get it?

00:27:09.000 Yeah, I appreciate that. It's available for pre-order, you know, anywhere you pre-order stuff.

00:27:14.000 I don't want to necessarily send you to the biggest conglomerate bookstore online, but you can get it there.

00:27:19.000 But wherever books are sold, it's called The New Conservatives, and it'll be out on June 3rd.

00:27:25.000 It's absolutely amazing.

00:27:27.000 Your social media, where do people follow you throughout the day?

00:27:31.000 Yeah, mostly on x at Oren underscore Cass, and then sub-stack.

00:27:37.000 It's called Understanding America twice a week, understandingamerica.co.

00:27:42.000 Oren, thank you so much, man. Amazing.

00:27:45.000 This was awesome. Great to see you.

00:27:46.000 Incredible article. Incredible article on political.

00:27:49.000 I'll make sure it's a must-read for over the weekend.

00:27:51.000 We'll have you back next week when the book actually launches.

00:27:55.000 June 3rd, pre-order today.

00:28:21.000 You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now.

00:29:48.000 Here's your host, Steven K. Bannon.

00:29:52.000 Okay, from Rome to Rio, make sure you go get the Rio reset right now from Birchgold.

00:30:00.000 Birchgold.com slash Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.

00:30:05.000 Understand currency, and you will go a long way to understanding politics, power, and also your personal finances, particularly the fiat currency, and where gold and precious metals come in.

00:30:17.000 But you need to understand, it ain't the price, it's the process.

00:30:19.000 July 6th in Rio, the British nations are coming together, and they're not coming together to help the United States of America.

00:30:25.000 This is kind of the global south coming together to see how they put the screws to us. 0.80

00:30:30.000 And some of that may be well-deserved, given the breach of fiduciary responsibility we've had between the elites in this country and the American people.

00:30:37.000 What is President Trump trying to set right?

00:30:40.000 Birchgold.com slash Bannon.

00:30:42.000 I want to go now to Matt Schlapp.

00:30:45.000 Matt, Poland, Hungary, Korea.

00:30:47.000 Let's talk about the first two.

00:30:49.000 And also, help explain to me, Matt, Romania.

00:30:53.000 I don't get how we're, we poll at 40, we went at 40% in the first round, we're polling 60-40 up, and we lose, I don't know, 54-46.

00:31:03.000 How does that all work?

00:31:05.000 And how are you guys going to discuss that at CPAC Poland and CPAC Hungary, sir?

00:31:09.000 Well, I think people are very concerned about what's been happening in a lot of these elections.

00:31:13.000 You brought up Korea.

00:31:15.000 I went over to South Korea, I met with the now, I guess you'd call him deposed president of South Korea, who said that in the lead up to the elections there, he was up by double digits and he ends up winning by just a tiny amount.

00:31:28.000 This is happening over and over again to any of the candidates that are outside the establishment.

00:31:34.000 In most of these countries, Steve, there really isn't a conservative movement.

00:31:38.000 There's just wonderful people.

00:31:40.000 And there is an establishment that is very aligned with the global institution that kind of runs the continent.

00:31:47.000 In Asia, it's China. 0.98

00:31:49.000 And in Europe, it's Brussels, and probably a lot of China.

00:31:52.000 And this is a huge problem.

00:31:54.000 They don't have a buttress of a center-right party that anymore shares their values.

00:32:00.000 So they're party-less, and they have to start new parties.

00:32:03.000 So George Simone in Romania came out of nowhere, won the first round, 41% of the vote.

00:32:12.000 And he was talking about not even really needing to campaign.

00:32:16.000 It was kind of a gimme.

00:32:17.000 And then out of nowhere, he has this, you know, it wasn't a tiny loss and less than 10 points.

00:32:23.000 But I think it has a lot of people concerned.

00:32:26.000 What's going on in these elections?

00:32:28.000 I mean, the biggest problem we have, Steve, is our own elections.

00:32:30.000 I mean, we take the longest to count votes.

00:32:35.000 We've got ourselves deluded.

00:32:37.000 That's because we have federalism and because we have state and local and federal races that somehow that makes it slower for a computer to count or tabulate. 0.96

00:32:45.000 Or Americans have just gotten that much dumber over the course of the last 50 years, which I don't believe.

00:32:50.000 So elections is at the center of this fight we're having everywhere around the globe. 0.96

00:32:57.000 So is that one of the highlights in Poland?

00:33:00.000 You're you're showing up in Poland with is the is a second round this Sunday is a fine thing.

00:33:06.000 It's two Sundays.

00:33:07.000 So you're showing up in Poland next weekend in Hungary with this Poland Polish election kind of in the balance.

00:33:13.000 Yeah.

00:33:14.000 Poland's first round was on the same day as Romania's second round.

00:33:18.000 And so the candidate we favor, Nowacki, apologize to him if I've said his name with with an American accent.

00:33:25.000 But he he was very close to coming in first.

00:33:29.000 I think it was like a point or so that separated them.

00:33:31.000 And so now it's the drive to the second round.

00:33:34.000 And so CPAC Poland will be occurring right at the perfect time to try to have an influence.

00:33:40.000 Now, look, we don't do electioneering over there, but we're trying to bring up to the people in these countries how important these fundamental questions are.

00:33:48.000 Think about it, Steve. Religious freedom.

00:33:50.000 The idea that you can be a practicing Christian and not not have that somehow destroy your reputation in your career.

00:33:57.000 Europe getting back to what made Europe great.

00:33:59.000 Europe can't be great if there are no families having babies. 1.00

00:34:02.000 Victor Orban figured this out in Hungary.

00:34:04.000 And as you're talking to Orin about populist tax policies, remember what Hungary did with their taxes to say you have a kid, you pay less income taxes.

00:34:14.000 You have something like four kids.

00:34:16.000 You never pay income taxes again.

00:34:18.000 That's real reform.

00:34:19.000 That's radical.

00:34:20.000 That's the type of things we need to do to make sure that our cultural values continue.

00:34:25.000 How can we here in the United States make sure we stream it?

00:34:30.000 You've got a team of all stars, both in country and guys coming from the United States, men and women from the United States.

00:34:36.000 How can we participate this week in either the streaming or catching up, et cetera?

00:34:40.000 Because as you know, our audience has a very strong interest in Hungary and a very strong interest in Poland and a very strong interest in CPAC.

00:34:47.000 Look, Hungary is where George Soros spends most money to make a difference.

00:34:52.000 And so we've got to hold on to Victor Orban's policies and to him.

00:34:58.000 And then we have Barack Obama and all these other people being paid to be in Poland.

00:35:03.000 They know that if they lose this election in Poland, that's a big blow to the globalists.

00:35:08.000 So you can follow me on Twitter at MSchlapp or go to our website at CPAC.org and we will lead you to all the places, all the platforms where you can watch the content.

00:35:18.000 We also have to be careful about all the regulators in Brussels and still in Washington, D.C. that try to, you know, keep CPAC from broadcasting as widely as we should, Steve, shall I say.

00:35:30.000 But don't worry, we'll get all the important content to folks and we're going to make a big difference in these countries.

00:35:37.000 Here's what everyone needs to know.

00:35:38.000 These countries are calling us and saying we've got to have CPAC and it's not just CPAC.

00:35:43.000 There's a lot of great groups that are doing great work in our country.

00:35:46.000 We've got to build this conservative populist movement.

00:35:49.000 And everybody wants a piece, their version of MAGA, because they know that they're outgunned, they're outfinanced, that there's lawfare and all these other things and they're trying to figure out a way to outsmart it.

00:36:01.000 Donald Trump gave the whole world a boost of hope that we can win this battle, but the battle is right now.

00:36:08.000 Amen.

00:36:09.000 Rumor has it that you're trying to put together some sort of team to make sure we get election integrity in South Korea for the upcoming election.

00:36:16.000 Any truth of that, that Korea CPAC is hard at work behind the scenes?

00:36:21.000 You know, I'm just worried that someone could be watching your show, Steve.

00:36:26.000 But yeah, of course, we're engaged in all of these questions.

00:36:30.000 And Korea is a very important country to us.

00:36:32.000 I was told that Huawei runs the election software in South Korea.

00:36:37.000 Yeah.

00:36:38.000 How is that possible?

00:36:39.000 Huawei is basically controlled by the CCP.

00:36:42.000 And if they start controlling the elections in these surrounding democracies, they won't beat democracies much longer.

00:36:49.000 And I think we're not getting a straight story about what's coming out of South Korea.

00:36:54.000 Amen.

00:36:55.000 Okay, we're going to get updates from that on all the streaming possibilities they can get through for both CPAC Poland, CPAC Hungary.

00:37:02.000 Matt, you're doing the Lord's work.

00:37:04.000 Thank you so much for joining us today.

00:37:05.000 Thanks for having me on, Steve.

00:37:06.000 Keep up the fight.

00:37:08.000 By the way, you got Poso, Mo Bannon, many others are going over for both who have a whole roster of the War Room and other of our colleagues that are doing this.

00:37:17.000 Absolutely incredible for people to take the time to do it.

00:37:19.000 They got our brothers and sisters in Poland and in Hungary and throughout the world.

00:37:25.000 Natalie Dominguez, every time you already tell me a story that scares the devil out of me, what do you got for me today?

00:37:33.000 I keep telling people, hey, particularly in the turbulence we got going on in the world right now, if you own a home, if you've got that thing called a title, you've got to embrace it every night for your dear life.

00:37:44.000 Home title lock is the company Gibson protection.

00:37:47.000 Take it away, ma'am. 0.99

00:37:49.000 All right.

00:37:50.000 We got this story about two days ago, and then I have a little personal one for you after.

00:37:53.000 So two men from Houston, Texas, are being sued by Harris County for filing fraudulent transfer deeds to take ownership of multiple homes and then selling them to unsuspecting buyers.

00:38:03.000 One of the victims talked about the home that her and her family were taking care of that had been passed down from her grandparents who had passed away.

00:38:13.000 And one day in 2022, so a few years ago, they found out that someone else's name was on the title and none of her family members knew what was going on.

00:38:21.000 So we talk about, you know, potential targets pretty often.

00:38:24.000 And I think this story is a perfect example of that because these men targeted homes that belong to people who had just recently passed away or, you know, you call them heir properties.

00:38:34.000 Right. In some of the cases, the deeds were transferred just days after the person had passed away, the owner.

00:38:40.000 And in one of the cases, hours after they had passed away.

00:38:43.000 So these guys were watching.

00:38:45.000 They we don't know if they had people on the inside or what kind of happened.

00:38:49.000 But I mean, think about being a victim of a family member who, like, let's say your grandparent or your parent passes away.

00:38:55.000 You're dealing with, you know, funeral arrangements, emotional distress and all these things.

00:39:01.000 The last thing on your mind is watching, you know, their home title and making sure that fraudsters and scammers aren't going in and trying to do this.

00:39:08.000 I think it's ridiculous that the county attorney is suing these men for a million dollars in damages for some of these steps going back a couple of years.

00:39:17.000 They kind of found this pattern with these men.

00:39:19.000 But one thing we're not seeing here is a criminal suit or jail time.

00:39:24.000 It's a civil suit.

00:39:26.000 And these guys are just walking around free to do this again to unsuspecting homeowners.

00:39:32.000 And that is so scary to me that there is just like in so many places no criminal, you know, wrongdoings for these these criminals that are going around.

00:39:44.000 And so I would urge that if you guys have, you know, family members or people that are close to you that are kind of in that position, they have caretakers in the home.

00:39:51.000 You know, we say we always talk about A.I. and cyber.

00:39:54.000 And, yes, that is absolutely a threat.

00:39:56.000 Everything is so much easier to do online now.

00:39:59.000 But most of the time, it's it's someone that, you know, in our restoration, oftentimes it's family members, it's caretakers, it's people that are around you.

00:40:07.000 And it would not shock me if these men had people on the inside that were feeding them this information because hours after someone passes away, they go in and file these fraudulent paperwork.

00:40:18.000 That's terrifying to me that you just can't trust anyone around you.

00:40:22.000 I don't know.

00:40:23.000 Is that just me, Gary?

00:40:25.000 No, no, no.

00:40:26.000 It's also a cop real quickly.

00:40:27.000 Give us again.

00:40:28.000 They were focusing on like death notices, people that recently died and they would jump all over potentially getting their time.

00:40:36.000 That is so sick.

00:40:37.000 Walk us to give me a minute on that again.

00:40:39.000 Yeah, they were going through homes or they were going to families whose the owners of the homes passed away and they were filing the fraudulent deeds and transferring the home into their name, which I mean, most people would be none the wiser, right?

00:40:52.000 Because that's generally what a quick claim deed is used for is to, you know, transfer property to whoever's going to be inheriting it and on paper.

00:40:59.000 So now they're going through this suit with the county attorney.

00:41:02.000 They have to even prove that it was fraud in the first place.

00:41:04.000 Who's to say that the judge isn't going to rule in their favor and say, oh, well, maybe the elderly person that passed away was giving their home to them for this reason or another.

00:41:13.000 It's scary.

00:41:14.000 And homeowners do not have people on their side to bring them through this, right?

00:41:19.000 Which is why we do what we do at home title lock.

00:41:21.000 We're not just monitoring an alert.

00:41:23.000 So if anything happens on your title, we notify you as soon as it's being filed and it's on record and we're like, hey, this has been filed.

00:41:31.000 So let's say, hypothetically, you go through that with your family member.

00:41:34.000 You're going to get a notice from us right away if anything happens.

00:41:37.000 So hometitlelock.com, promo code Steve.

00:41:41.000 The most important part of this is that you're going to get a title history report on your title.

00:41:46.000 You're going to see anything and everything that's been filed.

00:41:48.000 You're going to get a free trial of our million dollar triple lock protection, which is monitoring alerts,

00:41:53.000 and we'll spend up to a million dollars to fix the fraud and reverse everything if you are a victim of title fraud.

00:41:59.000 Last night, I was hanging out with two of my childhood friends, and one of them said that she recently in the past month and a half has been getting phone calls from real estate agents and all these different things for her parents' property.

00:42:11.000 The first thing that we did was went and signed her up because I told her that's the first thing that when people call us to talk about stuff going on, if it's not an alert on their property, anyone that has not been a victim under us and they call us, they go, yeah, I've been getting these weird calls from real estate companies, and that's generally how people start to find out.

00:42:31.000 So in my own backyard, stuff's going on.

00:42:34.000 We signed her up and sign up today, guys.

00:42:36.000 It's a scary world out there.

00:42:38.000 Where did they go?

00:43:48.000 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting enough attention.

00:43:52.000 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. 0.99

00:43:59.000 They're also taking control over critical supply chains.

00:44:02.000 Things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment.

00:44:05.000 Why?

00:44:06.000 It's not clear.

00:44:07.000 They're tightening their grip on global food production.

00:44:11.000 That is clear.

00:44:13.000 And if things go south, and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.

00:44:18.000 That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply.

00:45:35.000 So, Ben Hart, welcome back, Ben.

00:45:38.000 I know you've got to bounce.

00:45:40.000 I want people to go at least read the Wall Street Journal article.

00:45:43.000 I'll figure out how to get you back on either this afternoon or we'll do it over the weekend sometime.

00:45:47.000 I want to drill down more on this in this situation because, obviously, with President Trump offering to say,

00:45:54.000 Hey, ask the Vatican to be the intermediary and the apparatus for the Ukraine situation couldn't be bigger.

00:46:02.000 I mean, it's a big ask for President Trump.

00:46:04.000 It also shows you his thoughts about Pope Leo.

00:46:08.000 And so I want to make sure everybody reads the Wall Street Journal article.

00:46:14.000 Obviously, we have a quite different take on things.

00:46:16.000 But, hey, that's what makes things interesting.

00:46:18.000 We'll have people to go, Ben, for your content and also this Wall Street Journal.

00:46:22.000 And, by the way, you've been interviewed by everybody in the world.

00:46:24.000 I know you're putting it off on Getter.

00:46:26.000 I want everybody over the weekend to kind of absorb this content of all your interviews.

00:46:32.000 Steve, thanks. Getter, my social media platform of choice.

00:46:36.000 Simply tap in my surname, Hanwell.

00:46:38.000 And then there are like 50 or so interviews there over the past month.

00:46:44.000 Look, I think if I can close with this point, Steve, I think the point about President Trump leaning in towards Pope Leo

00:46:54.000 and giving him this just absolutely massive moral authority, even though he is untested from the MAGA point of view.

00:47:02.000 I can only guess, Steve, I can only speculate that President Trump's calculation is that this guy is American

00:47:08.000 and therefore his interests will be in promoting, in a general, generic sense, the American priorities.

00:47:17.000 But I don't know if that is a reasonable presumption to be holding at this point in time.

00:47:23.000 I will finish with this point about the Wall Street Journal article because it's so important.

00:47:29.000 It illustrates the vulnerable situation of the Vatican, the Holy See, as an institution.

00:47:34.000 Whilst on the one hand, it does give the faithful now, especially the US Church, the American Church,

00:47:41.000 a great deal of leverage potentially going forward.

00:47:46.000 I tell you what, it also gives a great opening to President Xi in China to also try to assume his leverage in the Vatican.

00:47:57.000 That's something that we need to be extremely alert towards.

00:48:00.000 Thanks, Steve.

00:48:01.000 I'll catch you hopefully on the evening show today.

00:48:03.000 God bless.

00:48:04.000 Yeah, we'll figure this out.

00:48:05.000 Thank you, Ben Harnwell.

00:48:06.000 Thank you for co-hosting this morning.

00:48:08.000 Mike Lindell, you're having a bet the company moment.

00:53:22.000 We're back live five to seven at night in the war room.

00:53:29.000 There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.

00:53:36.000 Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still drowning in credit card debt and overdue bills.

00:53:44.000 You need done with debt, and here's why you need it.

00:53:47.000 The credit system is rigged to keep you trapped.

00:53:50.000 Done with debt has unique and, frankly, brilliant escape strategies to help end your debt fast so you keep more of your hard-earned money.

00:54:00.000 Done with debt doesn't try to sell you a loan, and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy.

00:54:05.000 They're tough negotiators that go one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal to drastically reduce your bills and eliminate interest and erase penalties.

00:54:16.000 Most clients end up with more money in their pocket month one, and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.

00:54:25.000 Look, take a couple of minutes and visit donewithdebt.com.

00:54:30.000 Talk with one of their strategists.

00:54:32.000 It's free.

00:54:33.000 But listen up.

00:54:48.000 ...to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

00:54:54.000 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

00:55:05.000 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.

00:55:10.000 And, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
