00:00:00.000 A while ago posted actually on social media that there was they were in the process of
00:00:05.340 removing the tax exempt status from Harvard and a lot of been a lot of issues at Harvard,
00:00:09.980 but that's one that comes within your bailiwick.
00:00:12.300 Where is that process right now that the president is moving forward with that.
00:00:20.160 And we're also looking at taxes on endowments.
00:00:24.080 And I think the important thing here and it goes a little bit back to this Main Street
00:00:29.800 versus the elites that that Harvard to have a tax exempt status, there are rules you have
00:00:38.480 to follow.
00:00:39.480 And if you're not following the rules, no one's above the law.
00:00:42.200 So we will see if they're following the rules.
00:00:45.380 It looks like there's substantial number where perhaps they weren't.
00:00:49.840 And again to Harvard is a gigantic hedge fund.
00:00:54.900 They run a leveraged investment model.
00:00:58.520 So we'll we'll see where all that goes.
00:01:01.320 The president believes that the EU proposals have not been of the same quality that we've
00:01:06.280 seen from our other important trading partners.
00:01:12.000 I've said there are 18 important trade deals that we have to do.
00:01:19.760 I'm working mostly on Asia and that group has moved forward with some very interesting proposals.
00:01:28.800 They're negotiating in good faith.
00:01:30.760 I would hope that this would light a fire under the EU because, Bill, I've said before, EU has
00:01:36.520 a collective action problem here.
00:01:38.520 It's 27 countries, but they're being represented by this one group in Brussels.
00:01:44.560 So some of the feedback that I've been getting is that the underlying countries don't even
00:01:50.240 know what the EU is negotiating on their behalf.
00:01:53.440 We have substantial revenue coming in now.
00:01:56.240 And there is at some point there's an equilibrium rate.
00:02:02.240 Let's call it a lapper curve for tariffs.
00:02:05.520 So and I think we will reach that rate.
00:02:09.760 The other thing that's happening is a lot of their tariff barriers are non-tariff trade barriers.
00:02:16.080 A lot of these non-tariff trade barriers are coming down.
00:02:18.960 So friction is decreasing there.
00:02:21.360 And again, because we don't know where these tariff negotiations are going to end up, they
00:02:27.920 won't end up being scored, but it's several hundred million dollars a year, several hundred
00:02:33.200 billion dollars a year of revenue that will be used for every hundred billion.
00:02:39.680 That's a hundred billion less of bonds the Treasury has to issue.
00:02:42.960 From the president of the United States, the European Union, which was formed for the primary
00:02:47.760 person of purpose of taking advantage of the United States on trade, has been very difficult to deal
00:02:52.880 with.
00:02:53.440 I'm recommending a straight 50 percent tariff on the EU starting on June 1, 2025.
00:03:00.160 The DAX is down 1.4 percent.
00:03:02.240 Yeah, then he goes on to say there's no tariff if it's built in the manufacturer of the United
00:03:06.160 States.
00:03:06.480 And then again, we have for the second time this morning, thank you for your attention
00:03:10.160 to this matter, exclamation point.
00:03:11.680 So there is a real question here.
00:03:13.520 What exactly is motivating some of these actions that he's taking?
00:03:16.960 So yesterday we discussed whether passing the bill through the House, the tax bill,
00:03:22.320 would embolden the president to be harder on the Europeans on tariffs.
00:03:26.880 And I just wonder if the two things are lining up here and if they are connected.
00:03:30.880 Just giving Kim the space, the room to go harder on Europe on tariffs because we are progressing
00:03:35.920 this tax bill in Washington.
00:03:37.120 It just highlights the point.
00:03:38.800 I don't know whether that's the case, but one could easily connect the dots and come to that
00:03:43.040 conclusion.
00:03:44.000 There is a question about whether this market has gotten overly complacent with peak uncertainty,
00:03:50.320 given that it is ongoing and we still don't have any kind of sense of what the solid goal
00:03:55.200 is or what the plan actually will be.
00:03:57.360 So we've got a threat against Europe that's sending European equities south.
00:04:00.480 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:08.240 Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.
00:04:13.200 Here's the time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:04:17.520 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:04:19.520 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:04:20.880 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:04:23.600 It's going to happen.
00:04:24.720 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:04:28.320 MAGA Media.
00:04:29.680 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:04:35.120 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:38.880 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:45.040 War Room.
00:04:46.080 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:04:48.400 It's Friday, 23 May, the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:04:57.680 It is the beginning of Memorial Day weekend, where we commemorate our honored dead throughout the weekend.
00:05:07.600 Tomorrow, President Trump is going to be at the United States Military Academy at West Point to give the commencement address.
00:05:16.640 Captain Maureen Bannon, who's just recently on the board of visitors, she'll join us in the second block. 0.52
00:05:22.960 An announcement, we're going to start tomorrow at 9 a.m.
00:05:26.160 The ceremony will start earlier in the morning, and our own Steve Gruber from Real America's Voice will be there live, covered in life.
00:05:35.440 We'll be on the rises.
00:05:36.320 We'll have great camera work, all of it.
00:05:38.160 The War Room will be live tomorrow morning from 9 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time until 12 noon.
00:05:44.560 And Patrick K. O'Donnell, as every Memorial Day weekend, will be with me as my co-host, both Saturday morning and then on Monday morning, we cover President Trump going to Arlington National Cemetery, where he will lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns and also give appropriate remarks in the commemoration of Memorial Day for the honored dead at Arlington and every military cemetery throughout the world.
00:06:14.000 And, of course, all the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country.
00:06:20.080 Today, kind of a firestorm on two fronts.
00:06:23.180 We didn't get a chance to put in, because it had been too voluminous, all the discussions about spending, the bond market.
00:06:30.420 I think the 10-year Treasury finished over 4.5.
00:06:33.820 The 30-year, I think, is over 5.
00:06:36.220 The market's a little choppy today.
00:06:37.960 The bottom line is the big, beautiful bill goes to the Senate.
00:06:41.760 Now, Semaphore is reporting that, hey, the basic structure of the bill is not going to change.
00:06:47.060 There will be some things on the margin.
00:06:49.180 But Dune has essentially got his marching orders, and he will work and push this thing through.
00:06:55.600 The goal is to have, I think, a Senate vote by July 4.
00:07:00.560 July 4th, some people are saying, hey, they want to get it back to the House, have a conference, have that all done by July 4th.
00:07:06.360 I don't think that's going to happen.
00:07:08.160 But there's other individual senators.
00:07:10.360 You've got Ron Johnson, many others.
00:07:14.400 Rand Paul, of course, talking about there's got to be much more substantial cuts.
00:07:18.140 Josh Hawley and even Murkowski now are talking about rural hospitals.
00:07:22.420 There's big problems with Medicaid.
00:07:23.640 So there's a lot of issues.
00:07:25.920 I think everybody's out of town this weekend.
00:07:27.760 But I know there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
00:07:30.440 And Scott Besant, as secretary of the Treasury today, was saying, hey, we'll work with the Senate.
00:07:36.920 We have a model and a program to work with them.
00:07:39.860 I think they're going, I think the White House, the administration is going a lot more on offense.
00:07:44.480 This is why I think it was so important today for the president early in the morning.
00:07:48.440 And I don't believe this is a coincidence that the president said, hey, I'm not happy with the progress with the deals in the G7.
00:07:56.180 You notice he didn't say he wasn't happy with the progress on the deals with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and India, of which Scott Besant alluded that these things are pretty far along.
00:08:09.520 He said he didn't appreciate the G7 and it didn't look like a lot of progress.
00:08:14.120 So June 1st is going to be a 50 percent tariff on everything coming from the from the EU.
00:08:21.140 I will tell you, I think this is also to reiterate one of the things that the calculation is not taking into account now that is not scored by the Congressional Budget Office.
00:08:31.040 And everybody's going off the Congressional Budget Office numbers, particularly these very large deficits in the first couple of years.
00:08:37.100 They're not taking in cash flow coming from tariffs that, you know, Peter Navarro and others are saying it's six trillion dollars over 10 years.
00:08:45.920 So that would equate to, I don't know, five or six hundred billion dollars a year annually.
00:08:51.120 Minimum people are talking about three hundred billion dollars in tariffs not being calculated.
00:08:55.100 I think the White House is getting much more aggressive in talking about their model and the growth rates.
00:09:01.240 And this is why we had Dave Walsh on this morning about how energy underpins President Trump's economy, his economic model, just like in the first term, where he brought down energy costs and full spectrum energy dominance.
00:09:13.620 And that drove the that drove the economy after the tax cuts into 18 and 19. 0.81
00:09:19.600 And remember, 19, by the second half of the year before the pandemic, the covid virus was released by the Chinese Communist Party. 0.96
00:09:27.660 Growth, I think, in the fourth quarter was three, three and a half percent.
00:09:30.720 And he did that, as I keep reiterating, with the Federal Reserve really taking a trillion dollars of liquidity off their balance sheet and giving much more headwinds to the economy at the time.
00:09:40.980 He had no inflation. He had basically low interest rates, kind of a it was a it was a perfect a perfect arrangement.
00:09:48.860 The virtuous circle, as we say today, Scott Besson TV all day long talking about the tariffs, talking about what's going on.
00:09:58.100 And I think right now people have to say, hey, going to Memorial Day weekend, these deficits look look big.
00:10:04.480 The deficit this year is going to be two trillion dollars, we said.
00:10:06.760 But that's because they accepted the Biden budget and did the Biden CR.
00:10:11.360 The deficit next year looks to me over two trillion.
00:10:14.480 However, they're saying you've got to calculate in you've got to calculate in at least three hundred billion dollars in tariffs.
00:10:20.480 And you also have to start calculating in the additional tax revenue that are coming from that are coming from just bigger growth.
00:10:28.320 That is the denominator that with the tax structure will have post deal that will generate substantial additional revenues.
00:10:36.360 This doesn't include we had Oren Cass on this morning.
00:10:38.460 I thought Oren made a pretty compelling argument, as we have and just looking at the math, particularly if you add in and Oren was very, very sensitive about this.
00:10:47.700 And he's an economic populist adding in the full cut on no taxes on Social Security, which doesn't exist right now.
00:10:53.640 It's kind of a it gives you a set aside, I think, of up to a couple of thousand bucks.
00:11:00.420 I don't know what this I think somebody told me for the average individual, that'll be a decrease in five hundred dollars in their taxes.
00:11:06.680 And really, people are looking for no tax on Social Security as a third leg of the school after a stool after no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
00:11:14.760 But Oren is in agreement with with the war room is that we just don't see how the math works unless in the Senate there's going to be a tax increase.
00:11:24.440 And I will tell you, we'll get much more on top of this as people get back to work next week on this bill and push it through.
00:11:30.740 But I think the math could be incredibly positive.
00:11:34.380 Right. With with deficit control, with additional tariffs, with additional growth that is justified by lower energy prices.
00:11:42.300 Other things are doing what Scott just said right there, non tariff barriers, which is kind of the friction that goes on, particularly, you know, in EU and in places like Japan and Korea.
00:11:53.520 You want to know whether no Chevrolets or Fords on the road over there.
00:11:57.580 That's the reason. So you take the friction off there, you can have really explosive growth.
00:12:01.900 Also, what President Trump's done in protecting the auto industry and other industries.
00:12:06.000 So as we go into a Friday of Memorial Day, not only has the big, beautiful bill passed, but now it's in the Senate and President Trump's very aggressive.
00:12:15.880 His message to the Senate is, hey, I want this thing passed.
00:12:18.880 I want to pass quickly.
00:12:20.100 He wants to make sure he locks in those those tax cuts.
00:12:22.940 Of course, on the opposite side, the Democrats, I think it's been pretty feckless so far.
00:12:27.180 They really don't have a unified message.
00:12:28.820 One of the reasons they don't have a unified message, as we've been highlighting, they really gutted the Democratic Party of people that understood economic populism or people that understood economic nationalism or people that really could talk to the basics of kind of the production side of capitalism.
00:12:44.960 And you can see they just don't have it.
00:12:46.880 You don't have any one messenger that can come up.
00:12:49.580 Every time you have these people on, they're talking about all these marginal issues that don't really speak to the moment.
00:12:54.460 The moment is besides ending the kinetic part of the Third World War and, of course, making sure that we can that we can the president's commander in chief can deport, do master deportations of 13 million.
00:13:10.340 According to Mark Green, the congressman is in charge of the the House, the House Homeland Security says 13 million here.
00:13:18.740 You got the courts trying to stop that.
00:13:20.380 Of course, you've got all these judges throwing down more bizarre rulings every day.
00:13:25.000 But the White House and the Justice Department, the White House Counsel's Office is are grinding it through them.
00:13:30.600 We've got a packed show today.
00:13:31.840 Joe Allen, Joe Allen is going to come into the next block.
00:13:34.180 Joe Allen is my co-host.
00:13:35.800 He's actually in the House at the board.
00:13:37.920 We've got a couple of amazing interviews.
00:13:39.400 We're going to talk artificial intelligence.
00:13:40.880 Liz George is going to join us. 0.92
00:13:42.520 Mo Bannon is up either at West Point or near West Point.
00:13:45.300 She's going to jump in here. 1.00
00:13:46.360 In the second hour, we're going to at least focus a lot on Texas, on what's going on, on this situation in the Texas House, Texas Senate, to pass these bills that really protect the sovereignty of the state of Texas, particularly this bill against local police and local sheriffs, actually working with Homan and Homeland Security.
00:14:08.080 Todd Benzman, as you know, one of the mainstays of the War Room contributors in the last couple of years.
00:14:13.060 This will be his last day next week.
00:14:15.100 He actually reports for duty, working with Tom Homan and that great team over, Tom Homan being the board of czar and the great team over at DHS.
00:14:23.440 So we are absolutely packed here on a Friday evening as we really kick off the commemoration, as we always do every year, of the most sacred secular holiday of the year.
00:14:34.400 That's Memorial Day, where we commemorate the honored dead of the American armed forces who gave their lives in defense of this country, in defense of the Republic, in defense of their fellow citizens and many, many people throughout the world.
00:14:47.000 Nobody's ever freed more people than the United States military in the United States of America.
00:14:51.420 Short commercial break.
00:14:52.320 We'll return in the War Room.
00:14:53.960 Just a moment.
00:14:54.500 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.160 They're calling this the Rio reset as BRICS nations push forward with their plans.
00:15:21.280 Global demand for U.S.
00:15:22.380 Dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings while this transition won't not happen overnight.
00:15:30.240 But trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:32.900 The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:16:27.560 Johnson out of Wisconsin on what's expected next on the Senate side.
00:16:31.000 I've already said it.
00:16:32.080 In his current state, it is completely unacceptable to me.
00:16:35.420 What was not even brought up in the House debate are the numbers we ought to be considering.
00:16:40.220 The president said that he wants to pass ASAP.
00:16:43.640 Are you worried that he's going to be upset by the Senate?
00:16:45.940 I couldn't care less if he's upset.
00:16:48.480 I'm concerned about my children and my grandchildren and the fact that we are stealing from them.
00:16:53.540 As you listen to that, it's going to be a battle.
00:16:56.100 How much change can the president accept on the Senate revision?
00:16:59.260 Well, I think we're going to see.
00:17:01.880 The House had been working on their bill for a year.
00:17:05.700 And I know the Senate, led by Leader Thune, is going to take this up immediately.
00:17:13.560 And I'm not expecting that there's going to have to be that much change.
00:17:17.200 And I respect Senator Johnson's position that we do have to get our finances in order.
00:17:24.000 And that's a combination of controlling spending, but also growing the economy.
00:17:28.260 We did not get into this fiscal mess overnight.
00:17:32.360 This has been a long process.
00:17:34.080 We're not going to fix it overnight.
00:17:35.600 I'm aligned with Senator Johnson on fixing it.
00:17:38.660 I think we've just got to be careful on the timing.
00:17:40.980 I agree with the secretary.
00:17:44.340 You know, he's a contributor here for a long time and a brilliant guy.
00:17:47.060 We're very aggressive in our support of Secretary Besson.
00:17:50.620 I do think it behooves us to start talking math, particularly when we have people like
00:17:54.880 Ron Johnson, and Johnson said, hey, love the president.
00:17:58.800 He's a big supporter of the president.
00:18:00.140 But, you know, he's very concerned about these deficits.
00:18:02.820 I think one thing for the secretary to do is when he says, hey, we're going to grow the
00:18:08.140 economy faster than debt, that's a mathematical formula.
00:18:11.400 It's very important.
00:18:13.260 We ought to mathematically lay that out.
00:18:15.320 We ought to say, hey, here's how we get to 3%.
00:18:17.580 Here's how we get to 3.5%.
00:18:19.420 Here's the actions we're taking.
00:18:21.560 Here's how it flows through the model.
00:18:22.960 And by the way, the debt deficits are there.
00:18:25.700 The debt is growing, but it's growing at a lower rate than the economic growth.
00:18:31.660 That would support his, that's not a total solution or answer, but it does support what
00:18:37.640 he's saying.
00:18:38.280 Number two, still the most important thing is the 6.5% of deficit to GDP and how we're
00:18:46.720 bringing that, bending that arc to 3.5%.
00:18:49.740 That is what Secretary Besson has basically laid out for the last six or seven months.
00:18:54.240 I think we've got to get in back of both those numbers.
00:18:56.940 I think a very strong predicate is what's happened in the energy markets, the full spectrum
00:19:00.680 energy dominance of President Trump's administration.
00:19:03.620 I think there's a lot of positive news and the tariffs are going to be lost on people.
00:19:07.080 They're talking 50% tariffs today in the EU, unless they come around and make things happen.
00:19:12.320 I think it's now time that we ought to set the rhetoric aside and actually start talking
00:19:17.640 about math.
00:19:18.800 I happen to believe, and I strongly believe this, to get to the numbers that the Secretary
00:19:22.700 is talking about, it's going to require additional revenues over and above tariffs.
00:19:28.000 I think those revenues are sitting there looking at us right in the eye, and that's the upper
00:19:32.020 bracket or the millionaires kicking their bracket, not giving them a tax cut, not extending
00:19:37.680 their tax cut, but saying you're going to have to pay the 40% rate.
00:19:40.540 Hey, I could be wrong, and I'm open to be proven wrong, but I think I know the math here pretty
00:19:45.020 well.
00:19:45.560 And I just don't, I think it's a math problem.
00:19:47.600 And if you don't address this to the bond market, the American people are not going
00:19:53.340 to be able to live with a 10-year bond at 4.5% or potentially going higher.
00:19:57.860 I think the way you get around that is that you explain it and make sure the bond market
00:20:02.060 and these bond buyers understand it.
00:20:04.360 Then I think rates will come down and you won't have people, quote unquote, abandoning
00:20:08.720 the dollar or abandoning the bond market.
00:20:11.520 I think it's pretty straightforward.
00:20:12.900 Mo Bannon is a new member of the Board of Visitors of West Point.
00:20:15.940 She's en route to West Point for the commencement.
00:20:20.160 Mo, what's going to happen?
00:20:21.320 We're going to be live at 9 o'clock with Steve Gruber.
00:20:24.000 We'll try to get you on if you're available.
00:20:25.680 You probably won't be.
00:20:27.160 We're going to be live from 9 to noon.
00:20:29.340 Tell us, just walk us through the order of battle tomorrow.
00:20:31.480 What's going to happen?
00:20:33.100 So tomorrow, 9.30, the cadets that are graduating will march into Mikey Stadium, which is the football
00:20:42.080 stadium at West Point, and they will be set ready for the ceremony to start at 10 a.m.
00:20:48.120 And we expect President Trump to speak, I believe, roughly 10, 30, 11.
00:20:53.140 But do not quote me on that because you never know when the president will speak.
00:20:59.480 But I expect a great speech from President Trump.
00:21:02.360 I expect him to address these brand new future second lieutenants on what he expects from them
00:21:08.140 as soon as they graduate and commission.
00:21:10.140 And as soon as the ceremony is over, the now graduates will go back, clear the remaining
00:21:17.040 things that they have to clear at West Point, and change out of their cadet uniforms, which
00:21:20.700 the clearing process includes turning in your cadet uniform.
00:21:23.600 And then they will put on their dress uniform and go multiple places throughout the academy
00:21:29.900 for their commissioning ceremonies.
00:21:33.440 Yeah, no, we were, it was a big day for us.
00:21:36.580 What, is the president, I take it they give the, he gives the address first and then diplomas
00:21:41.740 are handed out, or is it vice versa, diplomas handed out and the president takes some, he's
00:21:46.780 not going to be able to hand all, but he takes some.
00:21:48.680 And then I guess the soup takes the others?
00:21:52.080 Correct.
00:21:54.400 The president will take one side and the superintendent will take the other.
00:21:59.620 And I actually know who will be announcing the names.
00:22:02.760 It was a officer that formerly worked with the volleyball team when I was a cadet, and now
00:22:08.540 still works at the academy and happens to be married to my former volleyball coach. 0.73
00:22:14.860 Oh, fantastic.
00:22:15.580 Colonel Lee, the great.
00:22:16.620 The, so nine o'clock tomorrow, once again, for the Worm of Posse, we are live at nine
00:22:23.420 o'clock.
00:22:23.940 Steve Gruber from the Steve Gruber show will be there, will be on the riser, will be interviewing
00:22:28.800 Steve, will pick it up right at nine o'clock and be able to give you all the pageantry
00:22:33.660 of the, of the graduating, of the firsties walking in for their last day, for their day
00:22:38.880 of graduation at West Point.
00:22:40.140 And their first days afterwards, they get in a smaller ceremony with their, their parents
00:22:43.940 and loved ones that get commissioned.
00:22:45.480 So it's a very big day for a very West Point, the grueling four years at West Point.
00:22:49.940 Mo, what, as a board of visitors, you're talking about President Trump's going to talk
00:22:53.260 about what he's looking for in, in second lieutenants and people have to go out in this
00:22:57.800 very dangerous world and defended America.
00:22:59.620 As a board member, what are you looking for?
00:23:02.360 I'm looking for us to, at our first meeting, which will be this summer, to go over what
00:23:09.220 is going on at the academy, the cadet morale.
00:23:12.560 But I want to look at what's going on academically, because I think that we need to focus on war 1.00
00:23:18.260 fighting at our service academies and not gender theory, pronoun training like we have
00:23:23.880 with the previous administration.
00:23:25.540 I think that we need to get back to war fighting, because God forbid we get into World War
00:23:29.880 Three, we need leaders that are able to lead in battle.
00:23:34.600 And I do not believe after this last administration that that's what we've been focusing on.
00:23:39.840 So we need to get back into, that is our main focus.
00:23:44.080 Well, you got some pretty good people on the board that President Trump appointed.
00:23:47.180 And I know you guys are going to have your first meeting, I think, in June.
00:23:50.440 Mo, I think that's around Beast Barracks, too, if I remember correctly. 0.98
00:23:53.560 Mo, where do people get you on social media so they can catch up with you on all the activities
00:23:58.500 of at West Point over the weekend?
00:24:00.500 You can follow me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon, and also on Instagram
00:24:04.820 at Real Maureen Bannon.
00:24:06.620 And just to address real quickly, at our first meeting, we will actually get to see some of
00:24:11.120 the summer training that is going on, to include Buckner, which is for rising sophomores.
00:24:16.020 So I'm very much looking forward to that, because I remember my time out in field training.
00:24:21.780 So it'll be a fond time to go back and see it.
00:24:25.680 Yeah, fond memory.
00:24:27.040 Mo Bannon, thank you very much.
00:24:28.540 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you tomorrow.
00:24:31.380 Thank you.
00:24:32.860 Once again, Real America's Voice is making us a war room.
00:24:36.420 We'll come on at 9 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
00:24:38.640 Join us at bonus hour, because the ceremonies start earlier.
00:24:44.460 We'll be live from 9 to 12.
00:24:46.400 Steve Gruber will be with us.
00:24:48.320 He's at the Academy himself.
00:24:51.000 He'll be on the riser.
00:24:51.940 And of course, we'll have Captain Maureen Bannon, and hopefully maybe pull in a couple 0.99
00:24:55.740 of other three people.
00:24:56.960 And Patrick O'Donnell will be in the war room as my co-host.
00:25:01.060 Liz York now joins us.
00:25:03.000 Liz, first off, Liz, are you Army or are you Navy?
00:25:08.640 I'm Navy through and through.
00:25:10.420 My dad was a World War II carrier pilot, and I had an uncle who passed away.
00:25:17.340 I was shot down in Manila Bay.
00:25:18.980 He was also a Navy pilot.
00:25:20.420 So we're Navy through and through.
00:25:22.900 Wow.
00:25:23.780 I'm conflicted.
00:25:24.620 I'm a naval officer, but my daughter had a great run at West Point.
00:25:28.480 So it's a tough conflict.
00:25:30.100 I got to go.
00:25:30.840 I got to go.
00:25:31.880 I root for both sides.
00:25:34.160 Liz, big sea change since we've been doing this every day.
00:25:38.240 about Pope Leo and Cardinal Prevost, the trad Catholics, which have been kind of singing 0.97
00:25:47.100 the high hosannas.
00:25:48.300 All of a sudden, we've noticed a sea change in the last, I don't know, 24, 48 hours.
00:25:52.520 What do you got?
00:25:53.960 Yeah, 24 hours.
00:25:55.240 Yeah, the audience may not know, but there's been this internecine battle going back and
00:25:59.860 forth.
00:26:00.140 I call it, you know, PTSD from Bergoglio.
00:26:03.440 They had the Stockholm Syndrome.
00:26:05.000 They wanted to give Pope Leo a break.
00:26:08.740 I thought it was all pretty formative and superficial.
00:26:12.280 But the honeymoon is over because in the last 24 hours, as I call him Dark Horse Leo, appointed
00:26:19.780 the second nun to govern the dicastery for male clergy.
00:26:25.000 So there are now two nuns who are making all the decisions in the Vatican regarding priests,
00:26:33.240 monks, et cetera.
00:26:34.520 So that has not set well with traditional Catholics or even Catholics, you know, around the world.
00:26:41.660 Secondly, he appointed today the Bishop of St.
00:26:45.880 Holland, Switzerland, you know, the famous St.
00:26:47.920 Holland Mafia.
00:26:48.680 Oh, wow, the St.
00:26:49.680 Holland's Mafia, the most progressive part of the church.
00:26:53.880 Yes.
00:26:54.320 And I think we have a picture of him.
00:26:55.820 He is on record of supporting women's ordination.
00:27:00.600 So this was a direct appointment of Pope Leo, really, I think, signaling that the drift is
00:27:07.660 going to be going left very quickly.
00:27:10.520 And thirdly, and this is breaking news.
00:27:12.820 I don't know how many people in Charlotte are aware of this, but the Bishop of Charlotte,
00:27:19.140 who was also appointed by Prevost when he was head of the bishops, Bishop Michael Martin,
00:27:25.700 has announced that he and Charlotte was the most thriving traditional Latin mass community
00:27:33.060 in the country.
00:27:34.800 They closed down.
00:27:36.240 They had 20 parishes with TLM masses going. 0.99
00:27:39.800 They closed down and only had four.
00:27:43.140 Today, he announced that he is relegating the Latin mass to, you know, basically a small
00:27:49.520 barn, and they're only going to have two masses, two Sundays a month.
00:27:55.900 So they're crushing, they're crushing the Latin mass. 1.00
00:27:59.520 I mean, if this is how he treats his American compadres.
00:28:04.620 Hang on one second.
00:28:05.500 I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:28:06.400 We've got a lot to get to this afternoon, and we're going to get to all of it in the
00:28:11.500 next 90 minutes.
00:28:12.580 A short commercial break.
00:28:13.900 Liz, yours with us.
00:28:14.900 Joe Allen's in the war room.
00:28:16.040 We've got some big, big guests regarding artificial intelligence, all next in the war room.
00:28:26.960 Health isn't just a personal issue.
00:28:28.920 It's a family issue, a community issue.
00:28:31.300 We're living in unpredictable times.
00:28:33.380 Supply chains can break down.
00:28:34.540 Hospitals can get overwhelmed, and let's not even start on the natural disasters.
00:28:39.320 These aren't hypotheticals.
00:28:40.520 They're happening.
00:28:41.140 You see it here in the war room, and we all know it.
00:28:43.960 The question is simply, are you ready?
00:28:46.920 That's where Jace comes in.
00:28:49.600 This isn't just a kid.

00:29:43.760 We're heading towards Rio, the Rio Reset.
00:29:45.920 The Senate hopes to vote this bill out by the 4th of July.
00:29:48.780 The Rio Reset is on the 6th.
00:29:51.100 We're going to have a whole team down there, including, if I can get Dave Bratt into the
00:29:55.680 country and Eric Bolling, maybe we can get him in.
00:29:58.240 I don't know if we can get him out, but we're going to try.
00:29:59.760 Of course, Philip Patrick's going to be there.

00:30:08.560 This will get you up to speed.
00:30:09.640 All the big debates we're having in the Senate, you'll understand why Ron Johnson's very upset
00:30:14.600 about the deficits and why Scott Besson's saying, well, hey, hang on.
00:30:17.320 I think we've got some solutions there.
00:30:19.120 Make sure you understand it by going to Birchgold.
00:30:21.040 And talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:30:23.260 Gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
00:30:26.220 And trust me, folks, I told you, we're going to go through some turbulence as we're
00:30:30.120 trying to get the financial house of the United States of America in order, which it hasn't
00:30:36.320 been.
00:30:36.500 It's been a travesty of how this thing's been running.
00:30:40.100 I love what Scott Besson said about, hey, about Harvard's tax-free endowment, tax-free
00:30:45.880 institution.
00:30:46.900 He says, hey, this is Main Street versus the elites.
00:30:49.720 Main Street's got to work by rules.
00:30:51.500 Harvard's got to work by rules.
00:30:52.780 If you're not working by the rules, then maybe you ain't tax-free.
00:30:55.560 So I think Besson's on the right track there.
00:30:58.800 Liz, you're a traditional Latin mass. 0.94
00:31:00.340 This is a bombshell you're dropping right now.
00:31:01.920 And I hate to say it.
00:31:02.840 This is one that tells, I told people, because my next guest will, Joe Allen's guest will
00:31:08.060 reinforce my family's been involved in this traditional Latin mass and bringing it back
00:31:12.720 from the very beginning.
00:31:13.880 It, the post-Vatican II, I can say as a young altar boy, it was like in shock.
00:31:18.260 You went from the Latin mass, which as a little kid was very hard to learn, but very mysterious
00:31:23.260 to this new mass they had that in the 60s, as a little kid, you're kind of sitting there
00:31:28.240 going, what is going on here?
00:31:30.000 Talk to me again about Charlotte, how dedicated they've been down at Charlotte to have, what,
00:31:35.020 30 churches or 20 churches doing the traditional Latin mass, what we call TLM.
00:31:39.380 What is the edict that came out today, ma'am?
00:31:42.040 20 parishes were doing the TLM.
00:31:44.600 It went down to four after Francis put his kibosh on it.
00:31:48.740 And now it's done down to one mass, only twice a month in some small chapel.
00:31:55.200 And they wonder why the Catholic church is going bankrupt.
00:31:58.940 And they wonder why people are leaving the Catholic church.
00:32:02.020 I mean, this has been an uproar is loud.
00:32:05.940 It's vociferous.
00:32:06.980 It's immediate.
00:32:07.660 And this is laid at the feet of Pope Leo because these are his priests.
00:32:14.140 They have carte blanche to continue this crushing of the Latin mass. 1.00
00:32:19.220 And so we're going to see what's going to happen.
00:32:21.780 I think it's time now for the Latin mass community has got to really step up and resist 1.00
00:32:27.400 and start taking the liturgy into their own hands.
00:32:33.240 Find good priests to say the Latin mass and to really resist with all their power and faith 0.95
00:32:39.240 what's coming out of the Catholic church.
00:32:41.360 Because I think, while he may be a softer and gentler Pope, I think Leo is going to be
00:32:48.340 left of Bergoglio.
00:32:50.680 And I think we better gird our straps and buckle up because this is going to be a battle.
00:32:56.380 And let's draw the line now early in his pontificate and stop, you know, trying to plead for the
00:33:03.640 scraps of the liturgy.
00:33:05.120 And that's what has happened.
00:33:07.680 So we've got to stand up to him and fight for what is making the church thrive.
00:33:14.120 The young people love the Latin mass.
00:33:16.440 The churches are overflowing.
00:33:18.320 It's a no-brainer.
00:33:20.220 And yet the clergy hierarchy wants to crush it.
00:33:23.780 No, vocations.
00:33:24.680 Liz, where do people go over the weekend on Memorial Day weekend?
00:33:27.560 You'll be back with us on Tuesday.
00:33:29.440 This is something that's happening every day, a new development, huge development today.
00:33:33.740 Where do people go, ma'am?
00:33:35.900 I'm everywhere on social media, Elizabeth Yore, and also my website, yourchildren.com.
00:33:42.320 Thanks, Steve.
00:33:43.580 Happy Memorial Day.
00:33:45.160 Thank you.
00:33:45.800 Great, great, great reporting.
00:33:48.060 Joe Allen joins me.
00:33:49.220 Joe Allen is actually in the war room.
00:33:51.820 Joe, we've got a couple of powerhouse guests.
00:33:53.640 I really appreciate you pulling this together on a Friday afternoon before Memorial Day.
00:33:58.780 Let's go ahead.
00:33:59.180 You've got a cold open.
00:34:00.140 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:34:00.860 Then you bring it back in, and let's let it rip.
00:34:04.500 AI.
00:34:07.180 In 10 years, how is life going to be different because of AI for just a normal person?
00:34:14.620 Well, 10 years is a long time.
00:34:16.380 In 10 years, probably AI could do anything better than a human can, cognitively.
00:34:25.240 Probably almost, I think, in 10 years, based on the current rate of improvement, AI will
00:34:30.460 be smarter than the smartest human.
00:34:33.520 Yeah, yeah.
00:34:34.820 There will also be a massive number of robots.
00:34:37.700 How real is the prospect of killer robots annihilating humanity?
00:34:44.080 20% likely.
00:34:45.860 Maybe 10%.
00:34:46.760 Wow.
00:34:47.100 On what time frame?
00:34:50.720 Five to 10 years.
00:34:52.560 So soon.
00:34:53.740 Like, you see a world where that's possible.
00:34:56.440 Yeah, but you can look at it like the glass is 80-90% full, meaning like 80% likely will
00:35:05.200 have extreme prosperity for all.
00:35:08.240 Sounds like a deal with the digital devil to me.
00:35:13.820 We have covered artificial intelligence now for over four years.
00:35:18.240 The discussion has ranged from more mundane problems like people relying on chatbots to
00:35:24.660 get them around the digital information sphere and maybe even getting lost and killed in the
00:35:30.180 wilderness because they've allowed their algorithm to lead them astray.
00:35:34.420 There are also, obviously, much more significant risks.
00:35:38.320 You have the open declaration that these machines will ultimately replace every human
00:35:44.640 white-collar and blue-collar worker, and then the nightmarish possibility that a super 0.89
00:35:50.600 intelligent AI would be created and perhaps wipe out the entire human race.
00:35:56.000 One thing that we haven't talked about much, because there really hasn't been much headway
00:36:00.880 in the political arena is concrete policy proposals for how to deal with this.
00:36:07.360 Here to speak about that is Mark Beal.
00:36:11.220 Mark Beal is the president of government affairs at the AI Policy Network.
00:36:17.160 He is a former policy director on AI for the Pentagon, also a successful tech executive and
00:36:24.580 startup entrepreneur.
00:36:26.740 Mark, thank you so much for joining us.
00:36:28.700 How are you?
00:36:29.200 Hey, Joe.
00:36:30.640 I'm doing great.
00:36:31.400 Thanks for letting me be here.
00:36:33.940 Thank you very much for being here.
00:36:35.420 So, what is your work at the AI Policy Network, and what sorts of concrete policies are you
00:36:43.180 advocating for right now?
00:36:45.500 Yeah, so the AI Policy Network is primarily focused on accelerating national preparedness for
00:36:52.360 very powerful artificial intelligence capabilities, what the industry calls artificial general
00:36:57.880 intelligence.
00:36:59.620 And we have a number of ongoing conversations with members of Congress on various things
00:37:04.740 that can be done.
00:37:06.100 But right now, in terms of preparedness, we're really focused on helping the United States
00:37:10.400 government understand at a more fundamental level what the specific current threats are,
00:37:15.940 and then looking right around the corner where they're going through what we call a robust,
00:37:21.000 classified testing and evaluation regime.
00:37:23.260 And we think unless the United States government itself has a strong understanding of these
00:37:28.940 issues, it's unlikely that they're going to be able to take action in sufficient time
00:37:32.860 to stave off what might be some of these more potentially catastrophic issues.
00:37:37.480 Now, you helped prepare the action plan with Gladstone AI, and if you would, just run us
00:37:46.640 through some of the really key points of that report.
00:37:51.220 Sure.
00:37:52.160 Yeah, so during that work with the United States government, what we sort of concluded was that
00:37:58.700 this phenomenon called deep learning, this technique that's being used today in the industry,
00:38:04.540 and we sort of saw the very first commercial applications of this deep learning capability
00:38:10.620 coming online in 2012, and we saw as researchers and engineers were pouring more and more compute
00:38:16.700 resources into these models, they were getting powerful and more powerful and more powerful.
00:38:21.060 And what we concluded was that the trend here is unlikely to abate anytime soon.
00:38:27.220 And because there's sort of no law of physics that caps intelligence at human level,
00:38:31.680 we are expecting that these systems may become vastly superhuman, and with vastly superhuman
00:38:37.600 capabilities.
00:38:38.600 And so, you know, as we say in the report, these systems might actually be something a little
00:38:43.920 bit more similar to like nuclear weapons in terms of their power and impact on global security.
00:38:50.900 You know, a lot of the conversation around this threat of out-of-control artificial superintelligence,
00:38:56.680 it seems to, as far as concrete policy goes, it seems like the only real option is either to
00:39:04.160 let her rip or to put a hard cap on how much compute can go into this, how great of capabilities 0.99
00:39:12.340 can be developed.
00:39:13.920 Are you on that sort of wavelength of we should stop this, we should pause AI until we have a
00:39:21.260 real plan?
00:39:21.960 Or what is your position on that?
00:39:23.580 Yeah, I think when people say we should pause AI, I think naturally a lot of other folks
00:39:29.340 might question, well, what about China?
00:39:31.380 What is China going to do here?
00:39:32.920 And actually, Joe, what I like to say is there's sort of actually two separate races between
00:39:38.240 the United States and China as it pertains to AI.
00:39:41.220 The first race is the race for commercialization and diffusion.
00:39:45.040 And this is a race that America probably needs to accelerate. 0.94
00:39:47.760 This is a race that American infrastructure gets deployed first and it's most capable in 0.99
00:39:54.160 that all these countries and partners around the world are using our technology and building
00:39:57.980 on top of that.
00:39:58.840 And that's going to give us a really important means by which we can imbue our values, American
00:40:04.640 founding principles, in the deployment of this technology.
00:40:08.820 But then there's this other race.
00:40:10.480 And this is the race to the, as you mentioned earlier in your introduction, the race to artificial
00:40:15.200 superintelligence.
00:40:16.880 And that is a potentially very dangerous circumstance.
00:40:21.680 And that race, if we get to a point in which we are starting to see, and we already are at 0.98
00:40:27.080 very preliminary levels, these models behaving in sort of deceptive ways or sort of unexplained
00:40:33.660 ways.
00:40:34.260 And they start to have very robust capabilities across a whole bunch of different domains.
00:40:38.740 And it's looking like human beings can't steer them effectively and reliably.
00:40:42.700 And then I think the United States government is going to have really no choice but to hit
00:40:47.300 the brakes a little bit.
00:40:48.680 And that's why we might be actually quite lucky to have President Trump in office, because
00:40:52.680 it's going to take a master negotiator to be able to deal with the Chinese on this issue 1.00
00:40:58.120 and make the Chinese understand as well that it might be in nobody's interest to continue
00:41:02.520 to push forward and race ahead and potentially drive the entire human race off a giant cliff.
00:41:07.080 You know, the thinker in this realm, Eliezer Yudkowsky, had a couple of years back recommended
00:41:15.540 and he joined on with the kind of pause AI movement, but on a much more extreme footing,
00:41:22.320 he had recommended that an international treaty should be forged to block the development of
00:41:29.540 such a dangerous system, even upon penalty of airstrikes on data centers.
00:41:34.340 Steve is going to be jumping in with us soon.
00:41:36.860 Steve was quite enthusiastic about such a plan.
00:41:40.100 We only have about a minute and a half left, but just in that, what do you think of that
00:41:44.660 sort of thing?
00:41:45.220 Would it come to that?
00:41:47.720 Well, God, I hope not.
00:41:49.380 No one wants to see war unleashed as a result of an uncontrolled, you know, development of
00:41:57.600 potentially dangerous capabilities.
00:41:59.060 You know, and while I think planning is always prudent, preparedness is always prudent, there
00:42:05.360 is still a little bit of uncertainty about the speed at which this is moving and the trajectory
00:42:11.160 and the actual threat.
00:42:13.180 And so I think we're going to want to make sure that we get our arms around the actual
00:42:16.820 issue.
00:42:17.380 And, you know, when we saw, like, for example, the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on AI
00:42:21.720 a few weeks ago, the kind of main news coming out of that was a 10-year moratorium on state
00:42:27.240 regulations.
00:42:28.180 And normally that might be okay.
00:42:29.940 But as you're, you know, as Elon's telling Senator Cruz, you know, that 10-year period is
00:42:34.300 about when these machines might start to get, you know, pretty dangerous.
00:42:37.260 And I think we have to have a hard conversation in Congress to get our arms around this issue
00:42:41.780 and actually develop our own position on what the threat actually is.
00:42:45.380 And until we do that, we're going to be kind of shooting in the dark.
00:42:47.920 Yeah, absolutely.
00:42:51.320 The moratorium, in my opinion, is completely absurd, especially when you have so many people
00:42:57.980 who are advocating for states' rights and even advocating for things like the making
00:43:04.280 marijuana completely illegal in Texas while simultaneously pushing for a ban on state-level
00:43:10.360 regulation.
00:43:11.640 We're going to go to break.
00:43:12.760 We'll be right back with Mark Beal.
00:43:14.460 We're going to bring Steve Bannon back, talk about a little bit of personal business,
00:43:19.360 I believe.
00:43:20.280 And so stay with us.
00:43:22.560 We will be back shortly.
00:43:33.960 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting
00:43:38.340 enough attention.
00:43:39.040 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. 0.99
00:43:45.000 They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed,
00:43:50.560 and farming equipment.
00:43:51.680 Why?
00:43:52.500 It's not clear.
00:43:54.200 They're tightening their grip on global food production.
00:43:57.700 That is clear.
00:43:59.420 And if things go south and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.
00:44:04.180 That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply.

00:45:15.580 This is your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:45:22.820 Welcome back.
00:45:25.280 Beal, answer me this.
00:45:27.620 This thing about the states is absolutely hugely important.
00:45:35.300 How can they just slide it in to a reconciliation bill with essentially no debate on something
00:45:40.360 that's so important, particularly those who believe in federalism, states' rights?
00:45:44.660 This may be the most important topic of our time.
00:45:47.540 How does that happen, brother?
00:45:50.060 Yeah.
00:45:50.920 I hate to say it, but there's probably hundreds of millions of dollars sloshing around Congress
00:45:56.100 from the industry, and I think, candidly, the industry has a sort of a fair grievance here.
00:46:04.180 There are like 5,000 or so state-level bills.
00:46:07.300 Many of them are not very technically informed.
00:46:10.160 But I think at the same time, when you have a situation in which the Vatican has moved faster
00:46:15.240 to appreciate the significance of this moment than the United States Congress, to ask states
00:46:20.820 to hold off for a period of 10 years while Congress sort of continues the navel gaze is 1.00
00:46:25.600 probably not an appropriate ask for states and their responsibilities to help defend their
00:46:31.640 citizens.
00:46:33.260 You know, I say you need more.
00:46:34.740 There's more regulation to open a nail salon or hair braiding salon on Capitol Hill than
00:46:40.640 there is of the top four folks chasing artificial general intelligence.
00:46:46.780 Is that going to change?
00:46:47.860 Is that because the industry's just flooded the zone with money and what they want is kind
00:46:51.820 of laissez-faire and devil catch the hindmost in this?
00:46:56.500 Yeah, I think there's certainly this desire to accelerate to the brink and go as far and
00:47:01.620 as hard and as fast as we can.
00:47:03.660 And, you know, there are many amazing people in this industry, including many of the top leadership.
00:47:08.620 And I think they'll say they all feel locked in this race to be first to build this capability.
00:47:15.840 And as a result, they feel almost like they've lost a little bit of their own agency.
00:47:19.960 And at the same time, though, each one of these executives has sort of made a claim that AI
00:47:25.560 may in fact be incredibly dangerous.
00:47:28.240 And some of them have gone so far as to, you know, to hunker down and buy their own 100-acre
00:47:34.760 farms.
00:47:35.300 But, you know, unfortunately for the most of us, like most Americans can't afford a 100-acre
00:47:38.900 farm to hunker down from a sort of a self-inflicted potential catastrophe.
00:47:44.500 And I think this is something that's probably worth a little more congressional scrutiny.
00:47:48.500 Like, how is it that these folks can make these claims and then proceed like as if everything
00:47:53.820 is normal?
00:47:54.820 And Congress, you know, is not really taking this seriously.
00:47:58.400 And it's something that I struggle to understand, Steve.
00:48:01.020 Um, talk to me about, we just talked about the Latin Mass.
00:48:05.440 Talk to me about, we've got a connection on this.
00:48:07.680 I know you're very interested in, and obviously a practitioner of the Tridentine Rite.
00:48:12.920 Talk to me about our connection to the Latin Mass.
00:48:16.200 Yeah.
00:48:16.520 So I grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and I attended St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
00:48:22.000 And it turns out my catechism teacher was one Marty Bannon.
00:48:26.560 So your father was my Sunday school teacher for many, many years.
00:48:30.360 And he was a, he was an absolutely wonderful man.
00:48:32.800 And the priest who was presiding at that church, Father Adrian Harmony, the late Father Adrian,
00:48:38.920 was very close to my grandfather and a mentor of mine and helped me get into Benedictine Military
00:48:43.740 High School, where I believe your father also attended.
00:48:47.320 And so, you know, I think Benedictine might be the only Catholic military day school in
00:48:52.180 the United States.
00:48:52.920 It's been around since 1911.
00:48:54.960 And yeah, that's a, it's a really small world, isn't it, Steve?
00:48:59.160 Actually, my father was one of the founders of St. Joseph's Latin Mass and very close to
00:49:02.940 Father Adrian.
00:49:04.240 But it was myself and the three and my two brothers that went to Benedictine.
00:49:07.980 We needed him.
00:49:08.660 My father didn't.
00:49:09.420 He was already, he was already, he was already a pretty, a pretty straight shooter.
00:49:14.340 So that we had to go to Benedictine and get our minds right.
00:49:17.700 I want to hold you, if you don't mind, can we hold you into the six o'clock hour for a
00:49:21.880 moment?
00:49:22.120 Because I do, I know Joe has got a thing.
00:49:23.680 And this is since you worked at the Pentagon, you're in this organization now.
00:49:27.480 There can't be a more, this issue of the singularity, not just artificial intelligence,
00:49:33.200 but CRISPR and everything we're hurtling towards, you know, homo sapiens on this side and
00:49:37.640 homo sapien plus.
00:49:38.940 It's really the biggest issue of our age and it's not getting enough coverage.
00:49:42.480 One of the reasons it's not getting enough coverage, the money doesn't want it to get
00:49:46.260 coverage, okay?
00:49:47.300 They want to, they want to throw capital at it and let all these companies just kind
00:49:51.760 of run for the big brass ring of who's going to get to artificial general intelligence first
00:49:55.860 and the policy implications, the cultural implications, the civilizational implications.
00:50:01.080 Look, it's got huge, tremendous upside, but it is also, also some terrible, terrible downsides
00:50:06.500 that we don't actually think this thing through.
00:50:08.860 Mike Lindell, you're with us today.
00:50:10.920 You start your trial here shortly.
00:50:13.060 Talk to us about the Memorial Day weekend, the big sale you've got on and any updates

00:54:40.420 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will
00:54:44.640 include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really
00:54:49.320 aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:51.060 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements.
00:54:55.520 And, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:54:59.380 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as
00:55:04.320 vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:55:08.880 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients
00:55:14.780 far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:55:20.800 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go
