Transcript

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.
00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.
00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.
00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.000 War Room.
00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:50.000 It is Tuesday.
00:00:52.000 Not Thursday.
00:00:53.000 Tuesday, 3 June, year of war, 2025.
00:00:55.000 The reason I'm thinking Thursday is the head of the German government is coming.
00:00:58.000 Thursday is going to be a big day, folks.
00:01:01.000 Monica Crowley, one of my favorite people.
00:01:03.000 Long time friend.
00:01:04.000 Just a total hammer.
00:01:05.000 I have a question about confirmations.
00:01:07.000 You know, we go fix band nets on confirmations.
00:01:09.000 But in yours, how does somebody be the aide-de-camp to Richard Nixon in the wilderness years, in the dark years?
00:01:17.000 Last years.
00:01:18.000 And how do you be a host, a guest host of War Room, and get confirmed by the United States Senate?
00:01:24.000 How does that, in what universe does that happen?
00:01:26.000 Well, first of all, Steve, it's great to see you in person.
00:01:28.000 Thank you so much for having me.
00:01:29.000 This is your first trip.
00:01:30.000 This is my first time in the actual war room.
00:01:33.000 Tina was a little shocked.
00:01:34.000 She goes, it looks like a bachelor pad.
00:01:36.000 Well, you know what?
00:01:37.000 I mean, the piles of stuff.
00:01:38.000 This is a sign of genius.
00:01:39.000 I'm just saying.
00:01:40.000 And I'm not flattering you, Steve.
00:01:41.000 This is one of the reasons I love her.
00:01:43.000 This is actually...
00:01:44.000 First of all, when I was looking at my schedule for today as ambassador and chief of protocol, I see that my assistant Katie put hold war room at 11 a.m.
00:01:55.000 And I think I'm the first chief of protocol ever in the history of America to have a hold on our schedule for war room.
00:02:01.000 I think we can safely say that.
00:02:02.000 Yeah.
00:02:03.000 The Senate confirmation process is really interesting.
00:02:06.000 It takes forever if you're not cabinet level.
00:02:09.000 So I'm considered sub cabinet level.
00:02:11.000 So for those of us at that level, it drags on forever.
00:02:15.000 So it's really taken me five months to finally be confirmed.
00:02:18.000 And you were one of the earliest picked.
00:02:19.000 Yes.
00:02:20.000 Exactly right.
00:02:21.000 I know you're limited for time.
00:02:22.000 You've got to get to the White House.
00:02:23.000 The question I have is that, as you know, being a host here and being a contributor for years, we're so big on the history of this country, I think.
00:02:32.000 We've missed the 250th anniversary of Lexington Concord, right?
00:02:37.000 We've got, I guess, the Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill.
00:02:40.000 Everything's coming up.
00:02:41.000 And, of course, July 4th.
00:02:43.000 Just make us feel better.
00:02:44.000 You're now on top of this.
00:02:46.000 Yes.
00:02:47.000 And you're going to work through everything that's going on so we have appropriate participation at the appropriate level.
00:02:53.000 Yes.
00:02:54.000 So in addition to my responsibility, it says chief protocol.
00:02:57.000 And we do have the German chancellor.
00:02:59.000 He's coming in late tomorrow night.
00:03:01.000 He will be meeting with the president.
00:03:02.000 Let him stay at Blair House.
00:03:03.000 Meritz.
00:03:04.000 He will be staying at Blair House, which protocol operates.
00:03:06.000 I'm not going to put you in the spot.
00:03:07.000 But this is like a word.
00:03:09.000 Listen, that meeting got set up after TASS released that they're doing target acquisition in Berlin, right?
00:03:17.000 So this thing, this is a huge meeting on Thursday.
00:03:20.000 This is just not a drop by.
00:03:21.000 Let's talk about tariffs.
00:03:22.000 Yeah, this is a huge meeting and protocol.
00:03:24.000 My team and I create the environment for the most robust, effective diplomacy possible for the president of the United States, the vice president and the secretary.
00:03:33.000 So we're looking forward to welcoming Chancellor Meritz on Thursday.
00:03:38.000 But in addition to all of that, the president has also given me another portfolio, which is to be essentially America's ambassador for the major U.S. hosted events.
00:03:47.000 And that includes America 250, the FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games in L.A., which President Trump heroically brought to the United States.
00:03:57.000 Isn't it providential, quite frankly, that they stole the 2020 election?
00:04:01.000 We had to get prepared and he comes back for this.
00:04:04.000 For this.
00:04:05.000 I know.
00:04:06.000 And he said it to me the other day when I was sworn in in the Oval Office.
00:04:08.000 He said, you know, I got the Olympics and FIFA.
00:04:11.000 And then I thought, oh, man, it's going to happen when I'm out of office.
00:04:14.000 And here we are.
00:04:15.000 It all had to happen this way.
00:04:17.000 God always has a plan.
00:04:19.000 Steve Bannon.
00:04:20.000 So getting to America 250, this is right in front of us now.
00:04:24.000 It's on top of us.
00:04:25.000 The very first event that we are really going to have a substantive event for is the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
00:04:36.000 This is going to take place on June 14th here in Washington, D.C.
00:04:40.000 And I can tell you, Steve, my father served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War era.
00:04:45.000 And I was born on an army base.
00:04:47.000 I was born at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
00:04:49.000 Army intelligence.
00:04:50.000 There was a single core down there.
00:04:52.000 Signal core and army intel.
00:04:54.000 Yeah.
00:04:55.000 So my father was involved in that.
00:04:57.000 So this.
00:04:58.000 You're you're you.
00:04:59.000 I've never heard that story.
00:05:01.000 The classiest woman from the Upper East Side in Palm Beach in Fort Huachuca is.
00:05:05.000 Fort Huachuca.
00:05:06.000 That is right.
00:05:07.000 That is the middle of nowhere.
00:05:08.000 That's the grind.
00:05:09.000 Very close to the southern border with Mexico.
00:05:11.000 Very close.
00:05:12.000 Yeah.
00:05:13.000 The home of the Buffalo soldiers.
00:05:14.000 That's exactly right.
00:05:15.000 And one of the most famous bases in forts in American history.
00:05:19.000 Yeah.
00:05:20.000 Signal core, army intelligence.
00:05:21.000 That's right.
00:05:22.000 So I grew up in New Jersey.
00:05:23.000 So I used to think I was Jersey tough.
00:05:25.000 I'm Arizona.
00:05:26.000 Fort Huachuca tough.
00:05:27.000 Okay.
00:05:28.000 Southern Arizona tough.
00:05:29.000 Exactly.
00:05:30.000 So this event means a lot to me personally.
00:05:33.000 I know it means a lot to the president.
00:05:35.000 We wanted to organize a 250th birthday bash for the United States Army.
00:05:40.000 The first of the divisions of the U.S. military to be created.
00:05:44.000 And we are going to throw a national celebration for the army and the military writ large.
00:05:50.000 Again, it's happening on June 14th here in Washington, D.C.
00:05:53.000 It is going to be a spectacular military parade.
00:05:57.000 We are going to bring to life 250 years of army history, strength, sacrifice,
00:06:05.000 and pride.
00:06:06.000 We are going to have historical reenactors.
00:06:08.000 We are going to have elite military bands playing.
00:06:12.000 We are going to have army and military technology, Steve, from the Revolutionary War to today's
00:06:18.000 cutting edge technology.
00:06:20.000 Rolling down those streets is going to be absolutely incredible.
00:06:23.000 We are going to honor America's veterans, both past and present, including our wounded warriors and our Gold Star families.
00:06:32.000 And there's one other announcement I want to make here today on the War Room.
00:06:36.000 At the end of the parade, and the parade is going to take place on June 14th, like I said, from 6.30 to about 9.30 at night, concluding with fireworks.
00:06:45.000 Oh, the parade is going to be late afternoon evening.
00:06:47.000 Yes, yes.
00:06:48.000 That's so smart.
00:06:49.000 It's going to be a full day.
00:06:50.000 So when you come to Washington, and please go to America250.org to get your tickets.
00:06:56.000 The tickets are absolutely free.
00:06:58.000 Registration is super fast and easy, but you'll get directions on how to enter the parade, where to go, where to stand, et cetera.
00:07:05.000 So it's going to be down where the parade happens after the election?
00:07:10.000 Constitution Avenue.
00:07:11.000 Constitution Avenue.
00:07:12.000 Constitution Avenue from 15th Street to about 23rd Street here in Washington.
00:07:16.000 But you do have to go and register.
00:07:17.000 Again, it's free.
00:07:18.000 America250.org.
00:07:19.000 So the President's review stand will not be at the White House?
00:07:22.000 They'll be down?
00:07:23.000 I believe his review stand will be south of the Ellipse.
00:07:26.000 Got it.
00:07:27.000 Right.
00:07:28.000 Right across from the Washington Monday.
00:07:29.000 Correct.
00:07:30.000 Diplomatic Corps, all of the ambassadors to the United States with whom I work at Protocol.
00:07:35.000 It is going to be spectacular.
00:07:36.000 So even if it's a steamy hot day from 630 to 830, you get that great twilight and then fireworks right afterwards?
00:07:43.000 It's going to be a full day.
00:07:44.000 So you're going to have a public army fitness competition starting at 8 a.m. with a military festival beginning early in the morning if you want to come out early.
00:07:54.000 Gates open at 2 so you can arrive, get your spot.
00:07:58.000 We say gates open at 2.
00:08:00.000 2 o'clock.
00:08:01.000 That's again on the Constitution Avenue?
00:08:02.000 Correct.
00:08:03.000 Yes.
00:08:04.000 So you can find your location and kind of scope it out and get some water, get something to eat, come back for the parade.
00:08:10.000 But something very special is going to happen at the end of the parade, Stephen.
00:08:13.000 I want to announce it to the War Room audience.
00:08:16.000 At the very end of the parade, President Trump, you know, he has and you've talked about this all the time.
00:08:22.000 He has presided over record breaking recruitment for the U.S. Army, restoring combat readiness, accelerating modernization of our weapons systems and everything else to meet the demands of 21st century warfare.
00:08:38.000 So this is about rebuilding the military, which he was committed to in his first term, double down in the second term, rebuilding the military to restore a sense of strength and sacrifice, pride and purpose to the Army and the military.
00:08:53.000 So what he is going to do at the end of the parade is he is going to preside over a live reenlistment of 250 U.S. Army soldiers.
00:09:05.000 And it is going to be an incredible reaffirmation of our Army strength, our military strength under the leadership of Donald J. Trump.
00:09:14.000 That's amazing. Incredible. So I encourage everybody to really come out to D.C., travel here to be a part of this historic moment and this historic parade.
00:09:23.720 It's really going to be something. Let's go back, because obviously the mainstream media is all over.
00:09:27.780 This is Trump's parade. I think this is much broader, right?
00:09:31.000 Yes. It's a celebration of the 250th anniversary.
00:09:34.560 It's reinforcing all those great virtues.
00:09:36.600 When people can show up in the morning, there's going to be a fitness, but then all throughout the day in the parade will start at 630 on Constitution.
00:09:44.360 That's correct.
00:09:44.800 And it's going to start at the top of.
00:09:46.820 I believe. Don't call me on this.
00:09:48.740 I believe it starts at 15th Street and goes up to 23rd.
00:09:51.960 It could be going the other way, but it is those blocks.
00:09:55.000 And June 14th is a special day.
00:09:57.160 Of course, it's the president's birthday.
00:09:59.280 So I'm sure the crowd will break out into a happy birthday.
00:10:02.740 Providential.
00:10:03.580 Providential. And it's also Flag Day, Steve.
00:10:06.000 It's Flag Day.
00:10:06.460 So, meant to be.
00:10:08.360 We know Steve Stern.
00:10:09.780 Hand of God for sure.
00:10:11.520 But please go to America250.org.
00:10:14.500 All of the events that we have planned so far are up on the website as well, but you can register for this parade at America250.org.
00:10:21.460 Talk about the logistics behind the scenes, the complexity of the logistics.
00:10:25.000 Yeah, it's very intense.
00:10:26.480 Interior Department, the Army.
00:10:27.840 All of it.
00:10:28.580 All of it.
00:10:29.060 Everybody's got a voice.
00:10:29.940 Yeah.
00:10:30.160 And you have some council that you're coordinating.
00:10:31.880 So there is a commission that was congressionally constituted probably six, seven years ago.
00:10:37.320 There is that.
00:10:38.260 And then the president, first day in office, signed into, by executive order, a task force.
00:10:43.680 So you have a number of people who are actually executing on these events, and I'm out here to tell everybody about it.
00:10:51.720 But they are organizing with the Department of Defense, the Interior Department, the Park Service, all of the elements that we need to carry off a huge event like this.
00:11:02.160 And to do it safely for all of our attendees, including the president, but everybody who comes, understand that this will be a safe and glorious event.
00:11:11.100 Your theme on America250, as we roll out clearly to the 250th birthday on July 4th, what is thematically, what are you trying to accomplish for the president?
00:11:20.920 Well, you know, I was a very young girl in the bicentennial, Steve, but I remember how special it made me feel as a little girl.
00:11:29.960 I remember the sparklers down the Jersey Shore, July 4th, 1976.
00:11:34.720 Everybody had a flag.
00:11:35.540 Everybody had a flag and the sparklers and the massive celebration nationwide.
00:11:41.660 By the way, you know, next July 4th is going to be wild because we're going to have all of the eastern seaboard cities that obviously played such a crucial role in the American Revolution.
00:11:53.680 And as you point out, Steve, the MAGA generation really is the natural heir to the revolutionary generation.
00:12:00.780 So Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and of course cities around the country.
00:12:06.580 But those are the four key ones that played such a role in the revolution next July 4th.
00:12:12.300 So we're kicking off now with June 14th in the military.
00:12:15.360 This July 4th, we're going to have a huge celebration on the mall to kick off really one formal year of celebration.
00:12:23.240 Yeah. And we have all of these moving parts in D.C. and elsewhere.
00:12:27.500 Every state has their own commission.
00:12:29.500 So we're going to list that on the America250.org website as well.
00:12:33.720 So you can go there and find out celebrations happening in your state and your neck of the woods all year.
00:12:40.320 How do you balance that with protocol?
00:12:41.760 Because protocol itself is the full time.
00:12:44.040 It's 120 percent of your time.
00:12:46.140 Now you put which you have broad shoulders and Trump, President Trump trusts you.
00:12:50.640 How do you balance that with protocol?
00:12:52.040 Well, thank you for asking that.
00:12:53.320 We'll see.
00:12:53.920 This is only my third full day in the job.
00:12:56.700 We'll see.
00:12:57.040 But it's my responsibility, according to the president, to not just run protocol and help to manage his diplomatic engagements at the presidential level,
00:13:07.220 but also to make sure the American people know that this is a really special year.
00:13:12.660 This is an absolute gift, Steve, that America250 is happening now while President Trump is in office once again.
00:13:20.920 It really is a gift, and we all want to make sure that we celebrate in a manner that is fitting, not just of this extraordinary president, but of our extraordinary country.
00:13:31.480 You're a gift, too, and this is exactly why the president selected you.
00:13:34.160 With all the alternatives and options they were thinking about, this is why the president understood this will be looked at 100 years from now, of how we do this, and this is why Monica Crowley.
00:13:42.100 And you know what?
00:13:42.960 The Bicentennial, people remember the tall ships in New York Harbor, which we're going to do again next July 4th.
00:13:49.900 They remember some elements, but overall, they remember how it made them feel.
00:13:55.260 Yes.
00:13:55.600 The Bicentennial, it was a feeling of tremendous patriotism, and that's what we're going to recreate this time.
00:14:02.200 Let me do the due diligence on the Mexican tall ship this time.
00:14:06.340 We'll put you in charge of that, Steve.
00:14:08.220 Where do people go, your Twitter account, and where do people go for this June 14th?
00:14:13.420 Yes, so my personal Twitter is at Monica Crowley, and on Instagram, at Monica Crowley underscore.
00:14:19.080 We are in the process.
00:14:20.380 By the way, I have an extraordinary team at Protocol, so when you're asking how I'm going to do it all, I'm leaning on my extraordinary team.
00:14:26.980 We are about to launch official Twitter and Instagram accounts for me as ambassador, so I'll let you know that, too, as soon as we launch.
00:14:35.300 Ambassador.
00:14:35.700 Ambassador, we would have cleaned up more if we—I thought a couple of—
00:14:38.840 I doubt that, Steve.
00:14:40.120 When I was in prison, I thought you were hosting from the Worm, I realize, now hosting from the Hamptons, right?
00:14:44.800 We're just doing it—we're coming from the Hamptons.
00:14:46.640 We love you.
00:14:47.200 The audience loves you.
00:14:48.000 The president loves you.
00:14:49.020 Thank you.
00:14:49.740 Thank you so much, Steve.
00:14:51.040 God bless.
00:14:51.420 Thank you so much.
00:14:51.820 Thank you.
00:14:52.220 Go with God.
00:14:52.820 Godspeed.
00:14:53.380 You bet.
00:14:53.680 Short break.
00:14:54.260 Back in a moment.
00:14:54.740 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.
00:15:18.620 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.540 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.440 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:16:28.320 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:33.300 A bunch of breaking news there, so let's make sure we're all over that.
00:16:36.760 If Real America's the crack team in Denver can put up on the Chiron where you go for tickets.
00:16:40.860 Let's have a huge showing on the 14th.
00:16:42.800 That's quite interesting and, I think, smart.
00:16:44.960 6.30 to 8.30 in the evening is going to be the actual parade.
00:16:49.140 Real America's Voice, wall-to-wall coverage of the 250th celebration of the United States Army.
00:16:58.120 We're going to do it just like we did West Point, first time ever, live television coverage for all four hours of the West Point graduation, the commencement there where the president spoke, and then Arlington National Cemetery did three hours on that on Monday.
00:17:12.880 Oren Kass joins us now.
00:17:15.880 Dave Brat's with me.
00:17:16.860 Dave's going to get to the Federal Reserve in a second.
00:17:18.460 Oren, the Financial Times of London had this piece the other day, and this fits into the big, beautiful bill, what's happened geopolitically with Ukraine and what's happening right now in Korea.
00:17:30.400 It was kind of, hey, globalization, and I'll make sure.
00:17:34.260 I don't think I've gotten Denver the article yet.
00:17:36.020 But the globalization 1.0 didn't work and obviously had this populist nationalist, these kind of grubby people that came up and thwarted it, whether it's in Poland or in the United States or, you know, in Germany.
00:17:48.640 But we're going to get smarter.
00:17:50.740 The Larry Fink's of the world are going to get a lot smarter, and we're going to have globalization 2.0, and this time we'll run the tables.
00:17:57.460 Is that essentially what the piece says, sir?
00:17:59.640 Well, it's a super interesting piece.
00:18:03.800 You know, Larry Fink is the head of BlackRock, which, of course, is one of the largest financial institutions in the world.
00:18:09.840 At one point was known for pushing a lot of the sort of more woe-PSG type ideas.
00:18:15.880 They backed off of this, and now, you know, Fink wrote a piece.
00:18:19.060 I think it's actually pretty thoughtful explaining what he and others and economists got wrong with globalization, with just trusting that, well, if we just have free markets, if we just have free trade, if we just offshore everything to China, that'll work out fine for American workers, too.
00:18:36.660 And so, look, I think it's a really positive first step that we have folks admitting we have a problem.
00:18:42.260 Like, to your point, okay, well, you know, what are we going to do about it is then the big discussion, but I think there really is a change going on in people recognizing that this system we were pursuing and just marching forward with blindly, it wasn't sustainable, it wasn't good for people, and it wasn't good for America.
00:18:59.840 Are you – look, the big, beautiful bill's got an aspect of it.
00:19:05.920 There's other things.
00:19:06.760 We just got word that the first of the rescissions package, the $9.4 billion, which has got a couple – we understand it's a drop in the bucket, but it's symbolic – is going to come to the Capitol.
00:19:17.820 Do you see – because I keep saying that we've changed the electorate of the Republican Party to be working class and middle class and people looking for putting the country first and American citizens first, but we really haven't changed the political class.
00:19:33.340 We're attempting to, and they all – you know, they preach fealty to President Trump, but they don't really preach fealty, particularly behind the scenes, to the policies of President Trump.
00:19:43.300 As you see Fink and these guys in a very sophisticated way, think through what they got wrong in globalization 1.0 as they do 2.0, do you think we've embedded the populist economics, the economic nationalism of the MAGA movement enough in the Capitol Hill that you're actually starting to see at least the green sprouts of actually a renewal here, sir?
00:20:13.300 I think so. I think what you're seeing is a generational change. I mean, look, Mitch McConnell isn't going to change his mind on this stuff, right?
00:20:20.400 People who have built their political careers over 40 years of fealty to what they think Ronald Reagan said, even if they don't even know what Ronald Reagan really said, they're not going to suddenly reverse course.
00:20:32.020 And so this takes time. But if you look at the younger generation of Republican leaders, whether it's folks like J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio in the Trump administration, folks like Bernie Moreno and Jim Banks, who just joined the Senate, certainly somebody like Josh Hawley, increasingly, I think the next generation, they grew up in the middle of this disaster.
00:20:55.800 They experienced it firsthand. Their worldview is not the worldview of fighting the Cold War.
00:21:02.320 It's the worldview of dealing with the financial crisis, of dealing with China, of dealing with immigration, of dealing with big tech.
00:21:09.000 And I think they, across the board, are going to go a different direction.
00:21:13.760 So, you know, that that takes time to to totally shift a political party.
00:21:18.640 But but I do think we're in a new world at this point.
00:21:22.740 Still, the most powerful political paper on the right, and I don't mean the MAGA right, but but the the business community, the financial community, the rhinos, the business community, the Chamber of Commerce crowd in the Republican Party.
00:21:37.840 This still calls a lot of shots. The Wall Street Journal, they continue in the kind of at loggerheads with you talking about free markets and in this whole concept that the marketplace is like the second law of thermodynamics, that no human agency can kind of change things.
00:21:57.060 Do you think we can make progress as long as something like the Wall Street Journal is so adamantly opposed to the policies that both you and I believe in?
00:22:05.400 Look, I think the Wall Street Journal, you know, their editorial page is just such a fascinating.
00:22:11.840 It's not even a snapshot, really, at this point.
00:22:14.400 It reflects where the Republican Party, where conservatives, where a lot of economists were, you know, 20, 30 years ago.
00:22:23.040 And what's so strange at this point is I guess they're not able to change.
00:22:28.080 They're not they're not able to sort of think about what has actually happened in the world.
00:22:32.320 And so they're they're still putting out these same arguments, even though they they don't really have any evidence.
00:22:38.660 They're not really connected to what's what's going on in the world.
00:22:41.160 So, you know, the example you just cited is such a good one.
00:22:44.260 They they tried to pick this fight.
00:22:46.820 You know, one of one of the editorial board members is writing that, you know, that the market isn't a tool that that, you know,
00:22:53.500 we need to think about how to use to promote important ends, that that the market just is, that that the laws of economics are like the laws of physics.
00:23:05.200 And I just don't think anybody believes this.
00:23:09.640 And I think they struggled to make the case themselves.
00:23:12.520 Like you said, I kind of got into this back and forth with them saying, look, I don't think economics is the sign.
00:23:17.840 I don't think economics is a science.
00:23:19.820 And they came back and and their response was, is economic a science?
00:23:23.720 The question isn't helpful.
00:23:25.320 It's like, well, you're the ones asking the question.
00:23:27.740 The question isn't helpful because it exposes how how wrong this worldview is.
00:23:32.340 And so, again, I think, look, obviously, there are people who who read and take their their marching orders from The Wall Street Journal editorial page.
00:23:39.860 But I don't think that that really reflects conservatism or the Republican Party at this point.
00:23:47.060 Oren, you've got your I think your gala tonight.
00:23:49.120 Tell us about American Compass.
00:23:51.200 What do you guys do?
00:23:52.260 Where can people go get more information, the magazine, all of it?
00:23:56.640 Yeah, sure.
00:23:57.160 So, you know, American Compass launched five years ago.
00:23:59.340 We're celebrating our five year anniversary tonight with what we're calling the New World Gala.
00:24:05.360 We're really excited that that Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio have both planned to come speak.
00:24:11.980 And I just a lot of really terrific folks coming who have been working with us.
00:24:17.220 A lot of people are now in senior positions in the administration who do represent this new world.
00:24:23.740 And I guess the other thing I just mentioned, you know, we we put out a book to go with it.
00:24:28.040 It's called The New Conservatives.
00:24:30.320 We're releasing it today.
00:24:31.820 And I think for folks who are kind of looking around at what's going on on the right of center and just trying to understand, like, you know, wait a minute.
00:24:38.680 Why do we have a labor union president speaking at the Republican National Convention?
00:24:42.040 Why do we have a Republican senator attacking private equity?
00:24:45.240 Why do we have so many Republicans now recognizing that free trade has failed?
00:24:49.300 This is kind of the set of essays and the set of thinkers who have gotten us there.
00:24:55.580 And so I think it's a really great guide to understanding what's going on, understanding the arguments.
00:25:00.160 And I hope people will pick up a copy.
00:25:03.520 Now, we'll push it hard here.
00:25:05.000 It's extraordinary.
00:25:05.480 You gave me a copy a couple of weeks ago, an extraordinary book, all the best thinking from from you guys and from your journal and from your magazine and prominent names.
00:25:13.260 And a lot of thought you can tell the public intellectuals over at American Compass are driving the agenda.
00:25:19.800 Where do people go to find out more about you, to get the book, social media, all of it?
00:25:25.000 Wherever wherever books are sold, whether at large online conglomerates or your favorite local bookseller, American Compass is at American Compass dot org.
00:25:33.860 Our magazine, Commonplace, is at commonplace dot org, publishing great stuff every day.
00:25:39.840 We have a great profile of a federal judge who kind of isn't in the old Federalist Society model.
00:25:45.940 He's he's really a conservative now who's who's focused on these exact issues and I think is going to be a real leader on the legal side.
00:25:52.920 So check that out at commonplace dot org.
00:25:55.220 And I am at Orrin underscore Cass on X.
00:25:58.640 Orrin, thank you so much for joining us on the day of your fifth anniversary in your gala.
00:26:04.780 Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
00:26:06.100 Oh, thank you. Great to see you.
00:26:08.760 Great. Dave Bratt, observations, comments, thoughts.
00:26:15.420 Yeah, I love his analysis.
00:26:17.160 Wall Street Journal out of touch 20 or 30 years.
00:26:20.020 The Federal Reserve has been waging a war against the middle class, kind of like China has been waging a war against us for 30 years.
00:26:28.640 Our intelligence agencies have missed it.
00:26:31.100 Our economy economists have not examined the damage the Federal Reserve has done to the middle class working family.
00:26:38.500 I can show all the charts showing in 1971 all the damage of inflation.
00:26:43.240 And then the last several charts show the damage to family formation, to the progress of minorities in our own country and to the middle class worker.
00:26:51.660 And it's just stunning.
00:26:53.060 If you want if we got time in this segment, I can start reeling through a few of them quick.
00:26:57.200 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:26:59.200 I want to hold them.
00:26:59.940 I want to I want to hold them because they make such a compelling case.
00:27:03.800 I want to do it all at one time.
00:27:04.940 We're going to figure this out.
00:27:07.480 So stick around.
00:27:08.260 Dave Bratt's my co-host.
00:27:09.760 We're going to if we can pull it off.
00:27:12.180 Senator Jim Banks is going to join us.
00:27:14.320 Jim Banks is one of this new fire breathers up on Capitol Hill.
00:27:18.860 Now, that's gone from the House to the Senate and is 100 percent MAGA.
00:27:23.660 He's going to walk us through some economics.
00:27:25.300 He's also going to walk us through.
00:27:26.360 He's one of the leaders in this anti-CCP that we've got to get ahead of it.
00:27:30.400 So Jim Banks is going to join us here momentarily.
00:27:32.860 Dave Bratt's my wingman this morning.
00:27:35.140 Bratt's got an incredibly compelling analysis of I know what's your favorite central bank.
00:27:41.400 It ain't the Bank of Tokyo.
00:27:43.680 It ain't the it ain't the bank of it's not the British central bank.
00:27:49.580 Right.
00:27:50.260 The it is the Federal Reserve.
00:27:54.240 He's got a very compelling argument.

00:28:27.140 There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting enough attention.
00:28:32.120 The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland.
00:28:38.000 They're also taking control over critical supply chains.
00:28:41.060 Things like fertilizer, animal feed and farming equipment.
00:28:44.780 Why?
00:28:45.640 It's not clear.
00:28:47.280 They're tightening the grip on global food production.
00:28:50.780 That is clear.
00:28:51.800 And if things go south and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.
00:28:58.140 That's why I trust my Patriot Supply.

00:30:07.040 Hey, do not let this thing get ahead of you.
00:30:10.260 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:30:14.680 Okay, Senator Banks, let's join us in a minute.
00:30:16.900 I'm going to go back to Dave Brat, though.
00:30:19.460 Dave, can you walk us through your analysis of the Federal Reserve and how, in one level,
00:30:25.800 it's been just as bad as the Chinese Communist Party against the working class and middle class in the beloved country?
00:30:31.400 Yeah, it has.
00:30:32.460 It all began in 1971 under Nixon with decoupling from gold, a stable asset over time.
00:30:40.780 And we've covered this, right?
00:30:42.620 The loss of purchasing power under Biden was 20% over just four years.
00:30:47.920 So Denver wants to put up the first chart.
00:30:49.880 This is since 1776.
00:30:52.340 It's always good to go way back.
00:30:54.240 You had stable prices for a very long time.
00:30:56.960 And then look to the far right of that chart, 1970, 1971, straight up through the roof.
00:31:02.840 When you decouple from gold, the Federal Reserve is on its own to print money.
00:31:07.920 Too much money chasing too few goods is the basic definition of inflation.
00:31:13.320 Next chart, what's the impact of that on real house prices and rents indexed?
00:31:19.200 Every young person knows this chart.
00:31:20.940 They're living it out right now.
00:31:23.000 1971, right where the arrow is, and house prices untethered from gold, from the dollar being hurt, up through the roof.
00:31:32.060 No, the young people are going to lose.
00:31:33.700 We're going to lose a generation of young home ownership.
00:31:37.020 And the implications of that are coming up in the later charts.
00:31:39.900 Next one is just kind of for fun.
00:31:41.500 It's just a chart of Campbell's soup, a can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup in pricing.
00:31:47.720 Over the long run, flat as a pancake, 1971, right where the arrow is, Campbell's tomato soup going up through the roof.
00:31:56.600 Next one, Denver.
00:31:58.180 This is just inductive.
00:32:00.100 Here's your federal debt as a percentage of GDP.
00:32:03.640 The arrow is at 1971.
00:32:06.020 One, we held in tax somewhat after World War II, but then to the far right, this is on the war room every day.
00:32:14.440 Steve's been calling attention.
00:32:16.980 The next chart's the same thing on steroids.
00:32:19.800 This is just in total dollars in trillions.
00:32:22.180 The next chart, Denver, is the federal debt in trillions of dollars.
00:32:27.040 The arrow down at the bottom is at 1971, and you'll notice the massive increase in national debt.
00:32:35.820 Dave, can you hang on for one second?
00:32:38.800 Just hang on for one second.
00:32:40.160 We've got Senator Banks.
00:32:41.380 I know he's under time constraints.
00:32:42.900 Just hang on.
00:32:43.300 We're going to go through more of the Federal Reserve.
00:32:45.580 Senator Jim Banks from Indiana joins us, a naval officer.
00:32:48.980 Senator, right now we've been doing live coverage in Korea.
00:32:52.780 It looks like it could be a four or five point loss there to a party that's controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:00.940 You've been at the tip of the spear on the anti-CCP movement and efforts in the United States Senate.
00:33:07.920 Would you give our audience an assessment?
00:33:10.540 We had Pete Hexeth in Singapore the other day saying, hey, if things don't change,
00:33:14.700 this rehearsal is going to lead to, I believe, a potential imminent attack in Taiwan.
00:33:21.080 And tonight we may lose South Korea in political warfare to the existential threat to the United States, sir.
00:33:29.420 Yeah, Steve, we have to do so much more.
00:33:31.920 I mean, I spent eight years in the House.
00:33:33.580 We created the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:37.580 There was a full court press in the House.
00:33:40.400 I've tried to bring that same energy to the Senate.
00:33:43.420 President Trump has been the only president in my lifetime who's been tough on China,
00:33:48.900 who's identified China as our biggest threat.
00:33:52.260 The tariffs are all about holding China accountable and reorienting the global economy that puts America's economy first rather than China's economy.
00:34:02.480 And I think those tariffs are working.
00:34:04.980 There's a lot of good news out there.
00:34:06.500 President Trump has put China on notice that if you break the deal, we're going to hold you accountable for it.
00:34:13.240 And two days ago, more evidence that China hasn't kept up their end of the most recent 90-day tariff deal that we have with China.
00:34:23.300 So we've got to keep up the pressure.
00:34:25.760 We've got to be tough on them.
00:34:28.820 We're seeing the outcome of what happens when other countries play footsie with the Chinese Communist Party and how the Chinese take advantage of those countries.
00:34:38.660 And they meddle in their elections.
00:34:41.300 And you see the outcome of that.
00:34:43.080 America can't—we don't have any—Steve, you know, we don't have any time left.
00:34:47.180 We have no time left.
00:34:48.500 And we have the only president that we've ever had that is willing to be tough on them.
00:34:53.220 We have to maximize these next three and a half years to do everything that we can to hold them accountable, rock them back, use the tariffs as our number one vehicle to punish China and reorient our economy and the global economy and our best interest.
00:35:09.380 And we're running out of time to do that.
00:35:13.640 And when you—you were such a strong advocate in the House and now in the Senate.
00:35:18.480 But here's how I think people get confused.
00:35:20.740 You've got Lindsey Graham.
00:35:21.740 It seems like a big part of the Senate.
00:35:23.760 I mean, they're implying they've got a veto proof, something they can pass in the Senate and in the House regarding Ukraine and Russia.
00:35:32.100 I mean, here we're—and you're a student of history.
00:35:35.660 And it's a bold, audacious, brilliant, you know, kudos to them on the tactical side.
00:35:40.960 But we had a country that we're the sponsor of make an attack on a powers, a nuclear powers, part of their strategic triad, take out 40 percent of their strategic bombers.
00:35:55.600 And it looks like people in the Senate are cheering that on.
00:35:59.060 And at the same time, you hear, except for yourself and a handful of others, saying, hey, hang on for a second.
00:36:06.840 The people running this deal are out of Beijing and they're about to take over South Korea.
00:36:11.440 We're warning people about Taiwan because, you know, as a naval officer, these are no longer exercises.
00:36:16.020 These are rehearsals.
00:36:16.960 Do you think the Senate has actually the understanding of the existential threat the Chinese Communist Party has to the United—people of—first off, the people in China, Lao Beijing, but also the people in East Asia, our great allies of Japan, South Korea, in the Philippines, and also Taiwan, sir?
00:36:38.000 Yeah, I don't know.
00:36:39.220 I don't get it.
00:36:40.840 I mean, we can't afford to be drawn into this war President Trump campaigned and was elected with a mandate, Steve, to bring the war in Ukraine to a close, to bring it to an end.
00:36:52.520 And why would we want to tie his hands in doing that?
00:36:56.480 I think that's what the bipartisan legislation in the Senate—I think what Senator Graham was talking about, that further ties President Trump's hands.
00:37:07.040 I can't support that.
00:37:09.140 I want President Trump to use all of the resources that he has available to him to bring the war to an end, stop the loss of lives and the cost, and don't draw America into it any further.
00:37:22.840 That's what the American people voted for.
00:37:24.400 Get us out of it.
00:37:25.960 Don't spend more of our tax dollars and our resources on what's going on over there so that we can focus on America, focus on the economic picture here, the tariffs, focus on the China threat.
00:37:37.160 That's what President Trump was elected to do.
00:37:38.980 We shouldn't tie his hands from—that would stop him from doing that.
00:37:42.340 And I'm going to oppose any effort that would block President Trump or tie his hands any further.
00:37:47.000 The reason you went from the House—naval officer to the House and then to the Senate so quickly is that you're pretty dialed into your constituents.
00:37:56.820 And you talk about Indiana.
00:37:57.960 You know, you've got Hoosier basketball, Notre Dame football, the Indianapolis 500.
00:38:01.860 I mean, this is kind of Americana.
00:38:04.160 What do the folks in Indiana say about this?
00:38:07.180 What do they—the geopolitics?
00:38:08.660 What do they say about the geopolitics of where they think the country's headed, sir?
00:38:12.300 Yeah, I just got—I go home every weekend, and, you know, I talk to family and friends every week.
00:38:20.220 I went to the Indianapolis 500 last weekend, Steve, and what a great event for my state.
00:38:25.480 The Indiana Pacers are in the NBA finals.
00:38:28.860 And, I mean, Hoosiers are common-sense people.
00:38:31.500 I mean, they're wise farmers, small business owners.
00:38:37.200 They want me, their brand-new United States senator, to be more focused on what's going on in Indiana than what's going on in Ukraine.
00:38:44.240 And they know that China is a threat.
00:38:46.360 Every farmer in my state knows that China is a threat to their way of life.
00:38:50.500 Every factory worker—as you know, my dad is a retired union factory worker.
00:38:55.200 I made axles all of his life in a—working life in a factory.
00:38:59.360 And he understands the China threat more than most of these United States senators do because he knows that the China threat is a direct threat to the livelihood of the men and women who show up at work every day trying to make ends meet and put food on the table.
00:39:15.000 And that's what Hoosiers want me to be focused on.
00:39:17.040 It's why they back President Trump so substantially when it comes to pushing these tariffs.
00:39:22.460 And in Indiana, we're seeing the good news of it.
00:39:25.720 I mean, big announcements at GM.
00:39:28.500 Honda is going to make their next generation Civic in Indiana, not in Mexico or Japan.
00:39:33.440 Eli Lilly bringing $27 billion of pharmaceutical manufacturing out of China to Indiana and in the U.S.
00:39:42.840 Roche Diagnostics, a $50 billion announcement.
00:39:45.540 But the same thing, taking it out of China, moving it back to the United States.
00:39:50.400 I could go on and on, Steve, but Hoosiers are seeing the real benefit, the real effect of what President Trump is accomplishing through these tariffs, how it's diminishing China, how it's helping America.
00:40:01.820 And they want their senator, me, the new senator from Indiana, to be focused much more on that than getting us entangled in conflicts and wars around the world.
00:40:13.640 When you have these judges, the tariffs, he makes this compelling case for the tariffs and about the national security threat, about fentanyl, the chemical warfare, the cartels, all of it.
00:40:22.840 And these courts just toss it out.
00:40:25.220 And when they toss it out, they just toss out the whole national security aspect.
00:40:28.280 They throw it out like it's laughable.
00:40:29.900 And then they want to undo it.
00:40:31.220 What do the folks in Indiana say about what looks like the judicial supremacy over President Trump and thinking through kind of the commercial relationships, but particularly the national security aspect of dealing with China?
00:40:46.540 Yeah, they're livid about it.
00:40:48.500 I mean, that's not what they voted for.
00:40:50.900 They voted for President Trump to shake it up, to go after China.
00:40:55.440 They knew President Trump would enact these tariffs.
00:40:58.680 He talked about it on the campaign trail.
00:41:00.600 That's why Indiana overwhelmingly voted for him.
00:41:04.320 And Indiana is a red state, but we haven't always been a red state, but we're a pro-Trump red state.
00:41:15.660 And the voters in my state, just like around the country, voted for President Trump to do exactly what he's doing and to be blocked by the courts.
00:41:22.260 It infuriates anyone that I talk to.
00:41:25.740 And I'm concerned, Steve, about where does that go?
00:41:28.700 What does that lead to if elections don't matter and the courts can block President Trump from doing what he promised he would do, that he was elected to do?
00:41:36.220 And me as a senator, I'm elected to back him up on it.
00:41:39.200 And the courts are blocking it.
00:41:42.400 Hoosiers are outraged by it.
00:41:43.680 I know a lot of Americans are.
00:41:44.880 I'm concerned about where that leads us as a country.
00:41:49.360 We've got a couple of minutes.
00:41:50.540 Make us smart.
00:41:51.260 You've got the big, beautiful bill.
00:41:52.980 People are saying it's too much spending.
00:41:55.760 The bond market's reacting.
00:41:57.700 You guys have to deal with that now, supposedly to vote by July 4th to get it out.
00:42:02.520 You've got all this geopolitical where, as a naval officer, you know, we're getting sucked into this Third World War.
00:42:07.240 The next couple of weeks in Washington, make us smart.
00:42:10.560 How do you see this thing rolling out?
00:42:13.140 Well, you've got to look at what's in the bill, what it does, and go back to eight years ago.
00:42:19.880 By the way, eight years ago, when Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell negotiated the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, they made the corporate tax rates permanent, but they sunset the individual rates and the small business rates.
00:42:32.980 Steve, that's why we are where we are today, because the old GOP had a bigger emphasis on corporate rates.
00:42:39.460 The new Republican Party has to right that wrong and make those tax cuts on working-class families, those individual rates, and the tax cuts on the pass-throughs, the small businesses that make America's economy the great economy that it is that keeps this economy working.
00:42:57.660 We have to make those tax cuts permanent and prevent the biggest tax increase on factory workers, police officers, teachers, small business owners.
00:43:07.940 We have to prevent that biggest tax increase from happening by passing the big, beautiful bill.
00:43:12.400 Now, the Senate has an opportunity to make improvements.
00:43:15.960 I think the work requirements on Medicaid is one area that I think is really—that's good policy.
00:43:22.220 It's good politics.
00:43:23.660 Five million Americans who sit at home every day who could work but don't work.
00:43:28.480 They don't have a sick kid or a sick mom at home that they're taking care of.
00:43:32.640 But five million Americans who could work, who don't work, that the Medicaid work requirements will push them back into the workplace and then take a million illegals off of Medicaid who are on that.
00:43:44.700 That will save $700 billion over the next 10 years with those work requirements alone.
00:43:50.460 So those are good aspects of the bill.
00:43:52.620 No tax on tips.
00:43:53.980 No tax on overtime pay.
00:43:55.980 That part of it is really important, too.
00:43:58.940 And then funding the mass deportation effort, funding border security.
00:44:03.580 Can we hold you to a short commercial break?
00:44:06.400 Just be a minute or two.
00:44:07.980 Senator Jim back.
00:44:09.560 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?
00:44:15.640 Steve Bannon here.
00:44:16.760 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.
00:44:18.460 I love this guy.
00:44:19.300 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:27.540 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:36.920 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:43.960 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:44:56.180 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:45:02.760 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:45:32.140 We're going to put his social media.
00:45:33.720 Also, somebody give it to me.
00:45:34.600 I'll read it up, but the social media is on there.
00:45:36.380 By the way, we're now on Spotify after, I don't know, four or five years of being off the platform.
00:45:42.660 We're back on Spotify.
00:45:43.720 I want to thank the Spotify folks.

00:45:52.980 That's for the podcast.
00:45:54.000 Jillian Barbary joins us, done with debt.
00:45:58.140 Everything I'm reading about is this credit card debt is now, I don't know, $1.3 trillion.
00:46:02.120 People are saying 10% is non-performing.
00:46:04.920 People think if they get the letter, they can just put it in the drawer and it'll go away.
00:46:09.560 Is that true, Jillian Barbary?
00:46:12.140 Well, Steve, no, it is not true.
00:46:15.420 And I can tell you that from personal experience.
00:46:17.440 And also to echo on what Senator Banks was talking about, people just want to put food on the table.
00:46:25.420 The number one thing that I hear when people associate me with done with debt, they say, you know, we're just trying to catch up.
00:46:33.920 And they fell behind so quickly.
00:46:35.740 They were just sort of, you know, right there evening out and then they just fell off.
00:46:39.920 They just by living, they fell under.
00:46:43.180 And, you know, the credit system is not made to work with you.
00:46:48.460 It's not designed to help you.
00:46:50.920 So what Done With Debt does, they have a team of strategists.
00:46:56.440 And they are not going to be pushing loans or bankruptcy.
00:47:00.300 They have an amazing amount of negotiators.
00:47:03.120 You're going to essentially get your own little team that will help to reduce your debt.
00:47:08.200 That's the bottom line.
00:47:09.400 Of course, these negotiators are able to wipe out the debt completely in some instances.
00:47:14.360 And most clients will end up with money at the end of the day, which is just unbelievable.
00:47:20.080 And people say, OK, what can we do?
00:47:22.680 We are drowning.
00:47:24.320 And I always say, first of all, what Steve said, don't push that envelope back in the drawer.
00:47:29.920 Answer the phone.
00:47:31.120 Actually take the phone, pick it up and call Done With Debt or go on to donewithdebt.com.
00:47:36.020 Because they will immediately overnight stop those letters, stop those phone calls, and they will tell you to get, you know, I'm here to tell you to get on this right away because it's only going to get worse.
00:47:48.080 Before you make your next payment, go to donewithdebt.com.
00:47:52.300 It's free.
00:47:53.340 What have you got to lose other than the debt?
00:47:56.700 They're going to help get you back on the road to financial security.
00:47:59.800 These people have resolved – they've resolved huge amounts of this over time.
00:48:05.360 They're professionals.
00:48:06.300 The credit card companies also and the collection companies know who they're dealing with.
00:48:10.160 It's totally free.
00:48:11.200 Where do they go for a free consultation?
00:48:12.880 This is what people are going to understand.
00:48:14.240 Take the angst.
00:48:15.040 Take the anxiety.
00:48:16.500 Get a professional involved.
00:48:18.260 It's a totally free consultation.
00:48:20.240 They'll let you know how they cap the amount – how they can cut your outstanding debt and cap it and cap the interest rates and work at a program with the collection companies.
00:48:29.900 This is what – they're a specialist, and the collection companies know who they're dealing with, so they know they're not going to get bait and switched.
00:48:35.440 That's why you need a representative, right?
00:48:37.700 They're not going to treat you the same way they treat the guys that are done with debt.
00:48:41.720 Thank you.
00:48:42.700 Exactly what Steve said.
00:48:44.040 Go to donewithdebt.com, donewithdebt.com.
00:48:46.520 It's a free consultation, and, again, you could end up with money in your pocket by the end of the day and a big load off your back.
00:48:52.820 But it's not going to happen until you go there.
00:48:55.760 Before you make your next payment, talk to these guys.
00:48:58.240 They want to reduce your debt.
00:48:59.660 They're there to help.
00:49:00.960 I wish I had known about them sooner, Steve, because people at the end of the day – I had disease come up on me, right?
00:49:07.300 So I had cancer, job loss.
00:49:09.920 Some people are just regularly living their lives and are in debt.
00:49:13.240 So get on it.
00:49:14.520 Look, anybody that tells you to declare bankruptcy, talk to these people first.
00:49:18.880 Don't declare BK.
00:49:20.420 Don't make another payment.
00:49:21.820 Call right now with donewithdebt or go to the website.
00:49:26.120 Make sure you talk to these people.
00:49:27.400 Then you can decide.
00:49:28.960 Maybe bankruptcy is the alternative.
00:49:31.720 I think they'll give you a different perspective.
00:49:33.940 Yes.
00:49:34.160 Right?
00:49:34.480 Maybe you continue to make payments and continue to drown.
00:49:36.900 I think these people will give you a different perspective.
00:49:38.760 They're professionals in this space.
00:49:40.320 Jillian, one more time.
00:49:41.280 Where do people go?
00:49:42.600 People go to donewithdebt.com.
00:49:45.540 They are your master negotiators, and they will help you get out of this horrible hole that you're in.
00:49:51.220 Believe me, you're not alone.
00:49:52.760 There are so many of us Americans in it, and now we're out of it because of the people at donewithdebt.com.
00:49:58.620 Thank you so much, Steve, for having me on again.
00:50:00.520 I appreciate you very much, sir.
00:50:03.140 Appreciate you.
00:50:04.340 So does the audience.
00:50:05.880 Go check it out.
00:50:07.060 She's 100% correct.
00:50:08.240 Get rid of the angst.
00:50:09.420 Get rid of the anxiety.
00:50:11.220 Get some professionals on your time.
00:50:12.900 Done with that.
00:50:15.280 Dave Bratt, you're going to be in studio with me later in the week.
00:50:19.000 As Monica Crowley told us, the Chancellor of Germany is coming on Thursday.
00:50:22.580 That's going to be a big day.
00:50:23.900 Riding shotgun with me is Bratt.
00:50:25.540 We're going to go through methodically because this presentation on the Federal Reserve is too important.
00:50:31.040 But given what you've heard today from banks, from Orrin Cass about, you know, the geopolitical situation, but particularly what Larry Fink's trying to sell in the Wall Street Journal, your closing thoughts and observations, sir.
00:50:45.580 Yeah, everything we've done in the past 30 years is basically called financialization.
00:50:51.680 It's all been good for Wall Street, Larry Fink, BlackRock.
00:50:55.380 We still have our pension funds in China.
00:50:57.580 And then Orrin Cass really did a nice job of saying how out of touch, the Wall Street Journal, et cetera.
00:51:05.140 Today, the Wall Street Journal is making the argument that Russia is tied with China.
00:51:09.760 So that's the new nexus of evil, and we need to fight Russia.
00:51:14.620 And we have a new era of war where we might as well start with Russia and then go to China or something on that order.
00:51:20.260 It's just stunning.
00:51:21.920 And then Banks comes on.
00:51:23.900 He's common sense Indiana and just tells the truth.
00:51:27.900 But he also and you also signaled the rest of the Senate is not there.
00:51:33.160 This is stunning.
00:51:34.000 This is a, you know, a great moment in U.S. history to see who is on the American people's side.
00:51:42.480 Trump ran on this.
00:51:43.740 The polls are 70 to 80 percent against war.
00:51:46.680 And yet you wouldn't know it, right?
00:51:49.400 The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, New York Times, nothing on their op-eds, nothing on their news today.
00:51:55.380 The globalists are hiding it.
00:51:56.660 Of all the brilliant stuff we had on the show today, from Korea to banks, and banks was great.
00:52:04.000 To Monica, all of it.
00:52:05.960 One of the most blinding insights was you, the arrogance of Lindsey Graham.
00:52:10.280 What he was implying to Trump when he said, hey, Trump said Ukraine's got no cards.
00:52:15.020 Well, they have cards, the House and the Senate.
00:52:17.660 They think they got a veto-proof deal they're going to push through.
00:52:21.960 A veto-proof.
00:52:22.800 So Trump, hey, if you don't like it, lump it because we're getting through it.
00:52:26.140 But this, I'm telling you, the political class in this town tied to the deep state and the arms manufacturers are dragging us in to a kinetic conflict on the Eurasian landmass.
00:52:38.420 It sure is the turning of the earth.
00:52:40.280 And we're here to stop it because if this happens, it's going to make World War I and World War II in the bloodiest 20th century look like a church social.

00:54:27.840 To provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
00:54:35.080 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.
00:54:45.720 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:54:50.800 And, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:54:53.220 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:55:03.540 And, because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:55:15.460 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to SacredHumanHealth.com and cheers to your health.
