Bannon's War Room - Episode 4610： Massive Texas Flood; Search Continues For Campers

00:00:00.160 Corrential rainfall doused Kerr County, Texas, Friday morning, causing flooding from the Guadalupe River.

00:00:06.660 The death toll has now risen to 24 people, and one death was also reported in Kendall County.

00:00:13.480 Rescue teams have been working through the night to find survivors,

00:00:16.660 as more than 20 people remain unaccounted for from a summer camp in Hunt, Texas.

00:00:23.260 NBC's Ryan Chandler is on the ground with more.

00:00:25.960 In central Texas, a catastrophic flood emergency.

00:00:31.980 It's going to be a mass casualty event.

00:00:34.240 Authorities saying 14 helicopters are in the air.

00:00:37.700 One rescuer dangling from a chopper, appearing to help someone up in a tree as flooding rages below.

00:00:43.900 Cars lifting off the ground, swept away by the powerful waters.

00:00:48.460 These steps leading to a house that's no longer there.

00:00:51.760 This is our house right now.

00:00:53.080 Another pushed down the road.

00:00:54.580 The water started to rise very rapidly.

00:00:57.280 I mean, rapidly.

00:00:58.400 Along the river, a series of summer camps.

00:01:00.980 The La Junta camp for boys posting that everyone is safe.

00:01:04.600 But some girls at Camp Mystic trapped. 1.00

00:01:07.580 Now there are 20-some that aren't accounted for.

00:01:12.060 We're praying for all of those missing to be found alive.

00:01:15.280 You can feel the anxiety here as parents are waiting to hear word about their child.

00:01:21.180 We're told that these children are being transported by helicopter, the only way out of the camp.

00:01:26.840 As parents wait to hear they've returned safely.

00:01:29.820 The county judge pressed on why the camps weren't evacuated.

00:01:33.140 We knew that there was going to be a problem.

00:01:35.140 Why weren't these camps evacuated?

00:01:37.120 I can't answer that.

00:01:38.040 I don't know.

00:01:38.960 These camps were in harm's way.

00:01:40.700 We knew that this flood was coming.

00:01:42.240 We didn't know this flood was coming.

00:01:44.340 Rest assured, no one knew this kind of flood was coming.

00:01:46.760 The tight-knit Texas towns across Kerr County are popular recreation areas.

00:01:51.900 Len Clendenin and Rory Higgins were camping, asleep in their cabin, when the water started rushing in.

00:01:57.860 Everything happened so terribly fast.

00:02:00.160 There was mobile homes, travel trailers, cabins, vehicles, people in the water.

00:02:08.960 It was devastating.

00:02:10.640 They took this video showing a building from the campground washing away.

00:02:14.360 Their beloved border collie ripper is still missing.

00:02:18.500 Flood threats were in place because drenching rain flooded the riverhead.

00:02:23.040 Massive amounts of water got pushed downstream.

00:02:25.820 At one point, National Weather Service data showing the water rising nearly 30 feet in one hour.

00:02:32.160 This region near the Guadalupe River is no stranger to floods.

00:02:35.920 And in 1987, rapidly rising water killed 10 people.

00:02:39.980 The bus is stalled out and the water was starting to, it was real deep, so we were going to try to get out and get to the road.

00:02:46.400 It wasn't too far back.

00:02:48.600 And it started washing people away.

00:02:51.900 What was supposed to be a holiday celebration is now a nightmare.

00:02:56.580 This came at night when people were sleeping and dead.

00:03:01.480 Please pray.

00:03:02.920 This rain event sat on top of that.

00:03:32.700 And dumped more rain than what was forecasted on both of those forks.

00:03:36.580 When we got the report, it was about 7 feet or so on the South Fork.

00:03:41.360 And within a matter of minutes, it was up to 29 feet.

00:03:44.020 And all of that converged at the Guadalupe.

00:03:47.180 And that's where we saw those very quick rise and floods.

00:03:50.720 But listen, everybody got the forecast from the National Weather Service, right?

00:03:54.400 You all got it.

00:03:55.280 You're all in media.

00:03:56.000 You got that forecast.

00:03:56.980 It did not predict the amount of rain that we saw.

00:03:59.420 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:04:08.240 Pray for our enemies.

00:04:10.180 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:04:13.440 You're just not going to free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:04:17.720 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:04:19.600 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:04:20.800 I know you're trying to do everything in the world to stop that.

00:04:22.820 But you're not going to stop it.

00:04:23.760 It's going to happen.

00:04:25.040 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:04:28.420 Mega media.

00:04:29.760 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?

00:04:38.980 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:04:45.180 War Room.

00:04:46.200 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:04:48.240 Bannon.

00:04:55.920 Saturday, 5 July, in the year of our Lord, 2025.

00:04:59.200 Normally, as you know, when we do 4th of July and then 4th of July weekend, it's always the 5th.

00:05:03.560 We carry over our coverage, talking about the foundation of the country and also the Revolutionary War that was upon the signers.

00:05:11.760 There's so much pressing business today.

00:05:17.200 We're not even – we had a cold open all set for the great signing ceremony and the flyover and the fireworks.

00:05:24.880 But there's many big stories that I know this audience needs to focus on, including, I think, a rapidly expanding war in Ukraine and also this biblical-level tragedy down in Kerrville, Texas and around the Guadalupe River.

00:05:42.020 We've got a whole team down there.

00:05:45.000 Ben Burquam is on location.

00:05:47.560 Let's go to Ben.

00:05:49.740 Ben, you just informed us there's going to be another press conference because information coming out is very sketchy.

00:05:56.000 We found out last night that there were 23, I think, young girls – I think 40 people missing overall, but 23, I think, third graders from the Bubble Inn over at the Mystic Camp that were missing.

00:06:09.780 It's kind of sketchy.

00:06:11.260 Some things have been up online this morning about how many of those children have been recovered.

00:06:15.840 I haven't heard of any being rescued.

00:06:18.700 There's going to be another press conference.

00:06:20.180 Also, I wanted to include – I thought it was important, our producers did – there's already – so there's a search and rescue, all this equipment's coming in, these brave individuals.

00:06:30.180 We had Colonel Chambers, Doc Chambers on last night.

00:06:33.260 You've got people running to the sound of the guns to find these children, to rescue them and others, adults, and also then livestock, all of that.

00:06:41.540 But there's also already accountability, finger-pointing, whether it was the weather forecast, whether it was closed.

00:06:48.040 So we're going to cover both these.

00:06:49.480 Ben, get us up to date.

00:06:50.700 You rushed there from Iowa, and couldn't celebrate Fourth of July with your family.

00:06:57.120 Really appreciate it.

00:06:58.380 What do you got for us this morning?

00:07:08.000 Okay, we don't have Ben hooked up on –

00:07:10.220 Yeah, Steve, yeah, I was actually on my way home, flew into Houston, was driving up almost to Texarkana,

00:07:14.260 and got the message from you and turned around, rerouted down here, got a lot of friends in this area, and so we went to the location.

00:07:25.940 I just want to get out of the shot here for a second just to show you how – the level of devastation, and we'll talk more about the details.

00:07:33.800 But this is right downtown Kerrville, and I'm just going to turn the camera, just show you.

00:07:39.340 So where I'm standing right now, I'm about 20 feet above the river, and I would have been underwater.

00:07:45.480 This entire area here was underwater.

00:07:48.680 Turn back this way towards one of the bridges.

00:07:51.340 You can just see.

00:07:52.960 And this is what they're going through right now, rescue efforts.

00:07:56.880 They're having to comb through all of this debris, all the trees down.

00:08:01.180 You know, the closest thing I could equate it to is what I saw in North Carolina and Tennessee, not on the same scale,

00:08:11.260 but when you see just trees snap like twigs.

00:08:15.340 And just a reference point to give you an idea of the water level.

00:08:19.500 In some areas, it went over 30 feet, but that tree right there, you can see it snapped where some of the limbs are broken.

00:08:26.800 And the top where that – the bark is ripped off is basically where the water line was.

00:08:34.080 And the – what we're hearing is the major disaster.

00:08:40.620 I mean, you know, it's really – it is – it's really a tragedy on multiple levels.

00:08:45.640 Finger-pointing is going to happen.

00:08:46.800 It always happens in these things.

00:08:48.460 The rain totals, the estimates seem to be a little bit low.

00:08:52.040 They got over 5 inches here. 0.61

00:08:53.740 Some areas are reporting over 8 inches, some 10 inches, just a massive amount of water.

00:08:59.060 In fact, that storm is still circulating.

00:09:01.260 Austin's getting hammered right now, and that's going to continue.

00:09:03.600 And it looks like it's actually going to come back down to this area over the next 24 hours.

00:09:08.940 So we're keeping an eye on that because all of that hampers the rescue efforts.

00:09:12.800 The last numbers I heard, and I will be at that press conference at 10 a.m. just down the road,

00:09:18.540 Mystic Camp is about 20 minutes up the road.

00:09:22.120 It's inaccessible.

00:09:23.320 It's about an hour now because you have to go out and around.

00:09:25.440 It's all shut down for the rescue efforts.

00:09:28.240 But that recovery effort is still ongoing, but it's still ongoing all the way down here.

00:09:33.400 The problem is they don't know how far people wash down the river.

00:09:36.280 So we're talking about a several hundred-mile swath, and those are the people that they know about.

00:09:42.160 The last numbers I got from somebody involved with search and rescue last night was 20 or still missing 20 children.

00:09:47.900 That's total. That's not just from the Mystic Camp.

00:09:50.260 That's total for Kerr County, and then 30 to 40 adults as well.

00:09:54.900 That's the most up-to-date number I have.

00:09:57.500 That will probably change.

00:09:59.120 Hopefully we get a better update at 10 a.m. local time, 11 a.m. Eastern.

00:10:05.100 Yeah, we'll cover that live.

00:10:06.740 Here's the thing is that what has been reported is that the river rose because it is different than Appalachia and then Western North Carolina and Tennessee.

00:10:16.920 But the river rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, and then it continued to rise, I think, overall 40 to 42 feet within like an hour to two hours.

00:10:29.780 So the rise, and you see there from the thing, it just caught everybody surprised in, I guess, the pre-dawn hours of 3 to 5 o'clock in the morning.

00:10:38.740 But the rise of the river so rapidly was really like a wall of water coming down on the Guadalupe, and that's what washed out.

00:10:47.160 The question about should these things have been evacuated, all that, what they're saying, hey, it was the middle of the night.

00:10:51.820 They're pointing fingers to the National Weather Service and pointing fingers to other weather forecasters, et cetera.

00:10:59.580 Do we – at 10 o'clock, are they going to have a bigger – because what everybody's focused on, obviously, is these children from this camp.

00:11:06.660 It was reported there were 23 9-year-olds.

00:11:09.720 Do you have any update – 9-year-old girls, do you have any update on that?

00:11:14.640 Yeah, the most up-to-date numbers I have are what I just said, 20 total is 20 plus.

00:11:20.120 So I heard anywhere between 24 and 26.

00:11:22.880 Now, I hope those are old numbers.

00:11:25.120 The guy I spoke to is involved with the rescue efforts.

00:11:27.660 That's what he told me last night.

00:11:29.100 We're anticipating getting updated numbers this morning.

00:11:31.780 I think the big thing, they don't want to give false information and then have to come back and say otherwise.

00:11:37.360 You know, when this first happened, you were messaging me and saying, hey, we're hearing 100 kids are missing.

00:11:41.520 And that's the problem with a lot of these disasters is you start getting speculation on top of what's already a tragedy.

00:11:49.640 And so I think they're being very careful about making sure whatever numbers they give out are accurate numbers.

00:11:55.840 Yeah, as they should, as they absolutely should.

00:11:58.380 And look, just going back to this, what happened, you know, it's just the perfect storm.

00:12:03.260 It just happened to be – 80 percent of the year, the way that this river is set up, the way that most of the communities are built up around here,

00:12:11.240 Hill Country is used to flooding.

00:12:13.260 This is just – you know, they're talking about this being one of the 100-year flood scales.

00:12:17.360 This is massive.

00:12:18.560 It was unexpected.

00:12:20.080 It kind of came out of nowhere with the storm.

00:12:21.900 I mean, we knew a couple days in advance.

00:12:23.940 But the way it just sat over here, again, kind of similar to what we saw in North Carolina and Tennessee, that storm just sat on top of them.

00:12:30.780 Nobody expected the amount that they had.

00:12:33.000 And then the big concern they had was, well, now that we know that the river is rising so rapidly,

00:12:38.760 do we try to do a mass evacuation and then potentially have more fatalities, more injuries because people are trying to drive through flooded areas,

00:12:46.720 or do we keep people sheltered in place?

00:12:49.100 And so it seems like there was some confusion, understandably, during those first few minutes and hours on who to have shelter in place

00:12:58.480 and who to have evacuate and then how to reach those people and which places were the most devastated.

00:13:04.500 We do know this, the Texas Emergency Management team was already on site.

00:13:09.160 They had the Swiftwater rescue boats on site.

00:13:11.780 They were ready to go.

00:13:12.580 They knew something could happen.

00:13:14.680 They just – nobody anticipated the scale that it would happen at and the quickness that this happened at.

00:13:20.540 And the saddest part of this is it just happened on the wrong weekend where most of these camps are in operation.

00:13:26.820 Everybody's coming down here to celebrate the 4th of July.

00:13:29.720 And so it just – it was just – you know, it's just a terrible, terrible tragedy.

00:13:33.080 And now they're – what they – the requests that I've been given by emergency management, by sheriff here in Kerr County is,

00:13:40.900 if you are not a part of the rescue efforts, please don't come.

00:13:44.160 You know, one of the problems we get in a lot of these disasters is you get some of the, you know, people just coming down to take a look.

00:13:49.500 They end up clogging the roads.

00:13:50.940 They had problems yesterday, people blocking roads to take pictures and to film.

00:13:55.460 And just – if you're not a part of the rescue efforts, please don't come right now until they find every one of these missing children and missing adults.

00:14:02.900 That is their number one focus.

00:14:08.160 Doc Chambers, we're going to try to get – Ben, if you can stick around, if you can still get to the – I'll talk to you in the break.

00:14:14.500 If you still get to the press conference, Doc Chambers is going to also join us.

00:14:19.060 He's saying that there's been 120 rescues since the press conference last night.

00:14:24.260 So we'll – we've got Doc Chambers up.

00:14:26.420 I think that Congressman Chip Roy is down there.

00:14:28.560 Even Jason Jones, who lives in the area, is down there.

00:14:31.840 So we're going to try to get some folks up here, get some details.

00:14:34.480 Ben Burkham is with us heading to the press conference.

00:14:37.400 It's a short commercial break.

00:14:39.520 Philip Patrick is going to join us at the bottom of the hour from Rio about the Rio Reset and the de-dollarization program of the BRICS nations. 0.94

00:14:51.020 All next in the war room.

00:14:52.440 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.

00:15:04.820 The block 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.

00:15:18.840 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.

00:15:26.960 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:15:32.880 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:15:44.800 Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

00:16:28.140 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:35.220 Okay, welcome back.

00:16:37.380 We cut Ben Berquam loose.

00:16:39.360 So Ben Berquam, if you get to Kerrville and actually get to the press conference, that's going to take place at 11 o'clock.

00:16:44.480 The one last night was actually, I thought, pretty informative, given the lack of a lot of information they had.

00:16:50.600 But one thing you can tell already, there's some debate between what the forecasts were and what was told to people.

00:16:58.680 So we're going to make sure we get to all that.

00:17:00.860 Also, Doc Chambers, who was with us last night.

00:17:04.320 We're going to try to get Doc Chambers on here in a moment as soon as we can get him up.

00:17:07.340 Also, Peter Theo is one of these rescue groups that rode to the sound of the guns immediately.

00:17:14.380 Peter Theo is going to also join us, and we're going to get some clarification, particularly on the search and rescue right now, kind of up in the air.

00:17:24.120 I think search and rescue is still 20-plus of the children.

00:17:28.840 Now, they're saying that may be all the children, not just from the camp, but all the children lost in this tragedy on the Guadalupe River.

00:17:35.640 As I said, rain still for the Hill Country, Texas area.

00:17:40.540 I just heard Ben Berquam maybe doubling back on Kerrville.

00:17:43.580 I think what the question is, is what this river, 26 feet and 45 minutes, is nothing short of biblical.

00:17:53.260 You've seen some of the footage of how it came ripping through and not just expanded the width of the river, but the depth and the velocity of water going down was nothing short of biblical.

00:18:04.160 Then they said 42 feet, I think, in an hour and an hour and a half.

00:18:08.340 And so that's where you see this tragedy unfolding before you.

00:18:11.300 Like I said, Peter Theo and Doc Chambers, as soon as you get them up from the field, it's tough getting a signal down there, but we want to make sure we're on top of this because I think it's one of the most important stories in the world.

00:18:25.440 Also, Ben Harnwell is going to join us.

00:18:27.840 Is Ben up yet?

00:18:29.900 Crack production team.

00:18:32.940 Ben's going to join us.

00:18:34.080 President Trump, in this kind of victory after victory he's had, win after win, President Trump had a call with Putin the other day, of which he was working to whip the vote.

00:18:47.820 He had a call with Putin the other day, and it didn't go very well.

00:18:50.520 If you read the Axios, I think he had the most accurate.

00:18:52.540 At the end, Putin told Trump, he said, hey, look, I want to have a bilateral – I want to have a bilateral negotiation here and essentially butt out.

00:19:02.540 President Trump said later it was not a good call.

00:19:04.420 President Trump had already stopped – the Pentagon had stopped additional weaponry because we're after the Israel situation with the Iranians.

00:19:13.780 The Persians were down THAAD missiles, I think, 25 percent.

00:19:18.140 The Patriot missiles that were used in Qatar to shoot down and also the Patriots who gave Israel were down Patriots, and we're taking them out of Korea and the Pacific. 0.83

00:19:26.260 We told the Ukrainians we can't draw down our stocks anymore now because of the phone call. 0.67

00:19:31.960 And also the battering of Kiev by – the battering of Kiev by the Russians the other night, I think the most brutal of all the bombardments, drones, missiles, aircraft strikes in Kiev was the other night.

00:19:48.420 I think it was Thursday night.

00:19:49.840 Brutal.

00:19:50.940 Today the Atlantic magazine – Ben Harnwell joins us from Rome.

00:19:53.960 The Atlantic magazine has Ann Applebaum who is no fan of the war room, no fan of MAGA, no fan of America First, non-intervention, and particularly she detests Donald Trump.

00:20:05.760 She's got a piece in the Atlantic band that says Trump is switching sides, and we're going to ask you how she derives that.

00:20:14.220 But she does have a buried lead in there that what Poso has been talking about, Putin's actually – and this is supposed to be for an army that was beaten.

00:20:22.440 And this is what the media has told us, a summer offensive of 675,000 combat troops for a massive front in Ukraine.

00:20:32.820 Ben Harnwell, can you get us up to speed on everything that's happening?

00:20:35.760 Because I think this one, as much as President Trump's trying to step in and have already put their guns down, I think this one could be rapidly spinning out of control, sir.

00:20:45.720 Okay, Ben, you've got it on mute, I think.

00:20:55.700 Okay, do we have Ben?

00:20:58.500 Okay, we're going to get these right eventually.

00:21:00.740 Ben Harnwell, are you off mute?

00:21:02.140 Are we set up?

00:21:02.720 Okay, we're going to get Ben put back up.

00:21:12.520 Okay, Ben Harnwell, are you there?

00:21:14.800 Yeah, I'm here.

00:21:15.400 Can you hear me?

00:21:16.060 Loud and clear?

00:21:17.680 Have you got me?

00:21:18.620 I can hear you.

00:21:19.720 Next time, unhook, mute either Denver or Rome.

00:21:23.640 Take your pick.

00:21:24.660 Okay, is Ann Applebaum right?

00:21:26.160 Are the Russians getting ready for a 675,000-man summer offensive, sir? 0.89

00:21:32.820 Well, I think she is right on that, Steve.

00:21:34.820 But let's just quickly do the chronology, if I may.

00:21:37.960 On the night before U.S. Independence Day celebrations, that is to say, as you say, Thursday, President Trump had an hour-long phone call with President Putin.

00:21:49.860 And let's go textually to what he said, President Trump said, it's a very tough situation.

00:21:56.200 I was very unhappy with my call with President Putin.

00:21:59.120 He wants to go all the way, just killing people.

00:22:02.060 It's no good.

00:22:03.240 That, Steve, contrasts with the phone call that he had with President Zelensky, which he actually basically agreed to pretty much all of President Zelensky's requests.

00:22:13.780 That is, to increase Ukraine's air capacity, to rend itself with air cover, specifically providing the U.S. Patriot missiles, which he alluded to about 10 days ago, which he said, let's see if we can get them these missiles, which they're going to pay for.

00:22:30.340 So this would very much tie into that position.

00:22:32.920 And then, Steve, you've got this situation that the 695,000 troops build up on the Ukraine border.

00:22:40.420 Steve, my hesitation here, my issue with this here is that President Trump is already being dragged into this, as he has been being dragged into this, really, by both sides in this war, specifically Ukraine, since the inauguration.

00:22:56.420 I look at the timings of these dates, and really, from what I can gather, Steve, within moments of his phone call with President Putin finishing, President Putin, this is, as I say, on Thursday, launched the largest drone and ballistic missile attack to date on Kiev and Ukraine.

00:23:17.920 And this isn't very good, I think, for President Trump, who's trying to be the dealmaker, he's trying to be the man of peace, but he's finding himself ground in between these two cogs.

00:23:32.520 And therefore, as we've been covering on the war for the last few days, he is in this situation which has a certain escalatory, as far as the U.S. is concerned, momentum.

00:23:42.640 Ben, talk to me then, do you think, how do we avoid being dragged into this even more?

00:23:53.040 I mean, President Trump wanted to stop this in 24 hours.

00:23:55.240 He admitted it was more complicated than that.

00:23:58.420 He, now it looks like he made a decision that, hey, we're going to tell both sides that we took a shot at this, but we're not going to rearm the Ukrainians. 0.97

00:24:07.640 We're going to make the Europeans, rearm the Ukrainians. 1.00

00:24:11.960 President Trump goes to NATO.

00:24:13.200 The entire 5%, let's be brutally frank about this, going up to 5% is directly tied to NATO and to their fear of Russia.

00:24:22.400 We haven't forced the Europeans right now. 1.00

00:24:24.920 Are we getting, as non-interventionists, and Ukraine being even, I think, a higher priority of getting out of than the Middle East, although we don't want any, you know, no more regime change in the Middle East. 0.60

00:24:36.720 And President Trump's got a great job of that, in fact, telling the Israelis we're shutting down Gaza. 0.75

00:24:41.240 Are we getting sucked into this moment by moment and we're getting sucked in by Putin?

00:24:46.700 Well, it's difficult to know.

00:24:50.100 I don't think Putin is trying to suck America in.

00:24:52.540 I think it's Ukraine.

00:24:54.000 It's not really in Putin's interest to get you guys sucked in.

00:24:59.940 But you are getting sucked in into this war.

00:25:02.420 And in answer to your question as to how to de-escalate this situation and to de-escalate America's involvement in this situation, really, President Trump, I think, has to fulfill his commitment in the campaign, which he now claims to have been sort of sarcasm.

00:25:17.860 But many people who supported him in the election campaign didn't take as sarcasm and supported him for that.

00:25:23.820 And that is basically to withdraw the United States within 24 hours.

00:25:28.300 If it's not possible, Steve, for President Trump to act as the peace broker here and negotiate a ceasefire, the next best thing he can do is to stop this war continuing.

00:25:40.800 And that is by stopping to supply one of the two sides, which is to say Ukraine.

00:25:45.080 Now, last week, he did say that he was stopping some weapons and some missiles.

00:25:52.440 And he threw the justification to that, to depleting U.S. stockpiles.

00:25:58.300 But it wasn't a total closure of U.S. provision.

00:26:02.380 Of course, what he was going to continue to provide or not hadn't been defined.

00:26:06.780 And it looks as if what he is going to continue to supply is the Patriot missiles.

00:26:11.500 This is not a de-escalatory path, Steve.

00:26:15.600 That's the issue here.

00:26:16.400 This is not a de-escalatory path.

00:26:18.940 If President Trump really wants to achieve peace, then, you know, it's America that is keeping this war going, right?

00:26:27.080 I think President Trump has to fulfill what he said he would do in the campaign.

00:26:30.800 Stop arming Ukraine definitively.

00:26:33.500 And then the Ukrainians will see sense when they realize that the munitions are going to stop coming. 0.78

00:26:38.800 And they'll sit down and negotiate.

00:26:40.200 But he tried – by the way, I'm going to have to go back to the – we're going to go back to Kerrville in the next thing.

00:26:47.940 Then we've got – I need you to stick around because we've got to drill down this more.

00:26:52.020 President Trump had the conversation with Putin.

00:26:54.800 And then that night, they unleashed the worst bombardment onto Kiev after the president said, hey, I need you.

00:27:00.920 It was like Bibi hitting the Persians after they announced a ceasefire. 1.00

00:27:04.660 And then Putin announces to Trump on the call, hey, I just want to do this bilaterally.

00:27:09.480 I don't need your involvement.

00:27:11.620 They've jammed – they put the president of the United States – he's trying to be a peacemaker and trying to be fair to both sides.

00:27:17.540 They put him in a terrible situation, just a terrible situation for the simple fact of after you have a conversation with him and then you do the biggest bombardment.

00:27:26.440 Anyway, Ben, hang on.

00:27:28.460 I'm going to get to you after the 11 o'clock hour.

00:27:30.140 We're very jammed today.

00:27:31.160 We're going to go to Rio for the BRICS conference.

00:27:34.220 We've got a press conference coming up from Kerrville.

00:27:37.100 We have Peter Thiel and Dr. Chambers – not that Peter Thiel, but the head of operations for one of the rescue groups is going to be with us.

00:27:44.500 And we also have Doc Chambers from last night, the former – the retired lieutenant colonel in the Green Berets, all down there on search and rescue and helping folks out.

00:27:56.040 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:27:57.580 Take Birch Gold, take your phone out, text Bannon at 989898.

00:28:14.920 Short commercial break.

00:28:15.800 We're going to return to the war room on the Guadalupe River.

00:28:19.440 Next.

00:28:19.880 There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.

00:28:33.920 Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still drowning in credit card debt and overdue bills.

00:29:45.900 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:29:47.980 Bannon.

00:29:50.800 Okay.

00:29:51.340 Let's go down back to Doc Chambers.

00:29:54.360 Doc, we had you on last night before the press conference.

00:29:57.680 The press conference, good information, but kind of depressing.

00:30:00.440 Can you give us an update on where we are in search and rescue, sir?

00:30:04.140 Roger that.

00:30:04.680 Yeah, we had over 260 rescues yesterday.

00:30:08.920 This is a positive note, obviously.

00:30:11.260 We're looking at 100, and some of those were hoists.

00:30:14.660 So this is what we call a JP, a jungle penetrator type. 0.99

00:30:17.300 The old comes down from the helicopter with an operator at the bottom of the line, grabs somebody, pulls them up through the tree line,

00:30:24.920 because this is triple canopy in some places, lots of foliage in the area.

00:30:30.000 So that's a positive note.

00:30:32.560 Unfortunately, you do have to report that we're at about 24 right now, unconfirmed, 24, 26 deaths reported, expected to rise, still 25 missing, expected to rise.

00:30:42.460 But we're narrowing those numbers down as we speak.

00:30:44.940 So those are just unconfirmed, but they are close to the right numbers.

00:30:50.140 What is, of the 25, what's the status of the Mystic girls camp?

00:30:54.960 They were saying last night, 20 to 23.

00:30:57.300 Is that still an accurate number that had not been, that search and rescue had not located?

00:31:02.060 Is that still the number we have?

00:31:03.760 No, because over the night, we were reporting all the way to 0,300 this morning.

00:31:10.740 Yeah, there were about seven that I saw that were sent to me.

00:31:14.540 I have not got those numbers yet.

00:31:16.000 I'm on my way to Mystic.

00:31:17.300 We've had a lot of stops along the way.

00:31:19.580 Understand, this is still going on.

00:31:21.720 It's the Gein area.

00:31:23.020 Lake McQueenie, there's a deluge of rain down from us.

00:31:26.480 So it's adding to the problem set, but we're controlling what we can here, and then we'll continue to move to that location.

00:31:32.060 But first, I'll hit Mystic and be out there conducting some support out there, ministry support with some of the families.

00:31:40.980 Let's bring in Pete Teal.

00:31:42.900 Hang on, Doc.

00:31:43.960 Let's bring in Pete Teal from the Minuteman Disaster Relief, I think, joins us by phone.

00:31:48.540 Oh, no, there we have him.

00:31:50.180 Pete, can you give us an update on a disaster relief, search and rescue, anything you know?

00:31:55.820 I agree with what the previous guy said.

00:31:59.040 I was at the operations center.

00:32:00.400 They did the operational briefing this morning.

00:32:04.560 I don't have any additional numbers to what he said.

00:32:07.140 Those are in line with what I'm aware of.

00:32:10.160 When you say in line, this is – the question last night, I think they said – I think they reported at Mystic at the Bubble Inn or one of the subcamps at Mystic that there were 20 to 23 nine-year-old girls.

00:32:26.500 Is that not – was last night not the correct answer?

00:32:29.060 That's what the media has been – that had been unaccounted for.

00:32:32.600 Are there still 20 to 23 nine-year-olds this morning?

00:32:38.080 I don't want to say that definitively because I can't tell you for sure, but, yes, that is my understanding.

00:32:42.740 It was an eight- and nine-year-old camp, and a couple of the camp buildings were swept away is what I understand.

00:32:48.580 What – is search and rescue still going on, correct?

00:32:55.840 Yes, it is right now.

00:32:56.960 I believe I'm probably on the same highway as lieutenant colonel is.

00:33:00.760 There are a number of state police and ambulances, a number of game warden trucks just drove by me here while I was talking with you.

00:33:08.620 The search and rescue is still going on, although I think at this point it might be more recovery than search and rescue, unfortunately.

00:33:14.800 Where – how tough has this search and rescue been given the biblical nature of this flash flood?

00:33:24.360 How tough has it been, Pete Teal?

00:33:28.640 I have not been involved in the search and rescue personally, but just trying to turn around in a truck, the mud and muck is unbelievable.

00:33:41.100 The level of damage, I – this is like a major hurricane.

00:33:47.140 There are thousands of trees that have been stripped.

00:33:50.160 There are mattresses in trees.

00:33:53.260 There's – the height of the flood level, it's – this is unbelievable.

00:34:00.460 They have been using Jeeps.

00:34:02.120 They've been using dogs as much as they can with the mud.

00:34:05.620 I mean, every asset is being used.

00:34:09.840 There was an offer this morning from a group that has a Cessna 337 with search and rescue package with infrared and everything.

00:34:17.340 I don't know if that's coming over, but every asset the state has, I believe, has been pushed here.

00:34:22.640 The number at the staging area, the incident command post, there were probably 300 vehicles of people that are here that are state officials rather than just volunteers that were here for search and rescue.

00:34:33.920 The magnitude of the response from the state of Texas is amazing.

00:34:38.500 This is what makes America great is that people come help each other.

00:34:44.500 Doc Chambers, one of the questions last night about people being notified, and one of the officials said that, hey, this area has a history of flooding.

00:34:53.920 In your memory, is this the biggest that's happened recently, 20 years, 30 years, the biggest in memory?

00:34:59.500 I mean, how big is this compared to other events that this area has had, the Guadalupe River?

00:35:08.340 Great question.

00:35:09.240 20 years.

00:35:10.340 This is the highest one in record now.

00:35:12.640 But understand, this is the longest in the corridor of the Guadalupe.

00:35:16.040 We're looking at probably 70 miles as the crow flies, hundreds of miles, 120 miles of river as it curves.

00:35:22.340 So we're looking at all those low-lying areas, and remember, all these camps that were plussed up for a Fourth of July holiday, that was the evacuation problem set.

00:35:31.080 And now, when we're spreading those forces thin, as Pete was mentioning, I'm out here with them, and these guys are running up and down the roads.

00:35:37.960 So are civilian groups.

00:35:39.520 You know, the Cajun Navy is coming in from Louisiana.

00:35:41.560 There are some great folks.

00:35:42.920 This is what we're dealing with.

00:35:44.160 The thermals are the key for the nighttime and daytime.

00:35:46.540 The problem set for some of these areas further down is the amount of rain that they're still receiving, deluge of rain over Lake McQueenie.

00:35:55.620 So they won't be able to work there.

00:35:56.880 But from their back, yes, they will be up with those fixed wing and rotary wing.

00:36:04.440 Doc Chambers, where do people – your sit reps have been amazing.

00:36:07.260 Where do people go that weren't in the audience last night?

00:36:10.020 Where do people go to keep up with this?

00:36:12.140 I understand you're heading up to the Mystic Camp right now.

00:36:14.100 So how do people keep in touch with you on social media to get your sit reps?

00:36:19.880 Affirmative, sir.

00:36:20.520 Well, what you look is Doc Pete Chambers on X.

00:36:23.880 And then I have TheRemnantMinistryTX.org.

00:36:28.240 That's where we'll be posting things as well.

00:36:32.160 But on X is the primary right now.

00:36:33.920 I'll be doing probably every couple hours as I can, just a short 30-second spot.

00:36:42.200 Okay, perfect.

00:36:43.140 Thank you.

00:36:43.460 We'll post those up and make sure we stream them.

00:36:46.940 Thank you, Doc.

00:36:47.720 Appreciate you.

00:36:49.820 Sure.

00:36:51.320 Pete Teal, before we let you go, anything to make our audience smart as the day they look at social media or continue to follow the stream here on Real America's Voice?

00:37:00.000 Anything to make us smart about how this search and rescue is going, sir?

00:37:03.420 I don't have anything in particular.

00:37:06.760 Minuteman Disaster Response is an all-volunteer group that helps people clean up after major events.

00:37:13.780 We have not done a full deployment yet.

00:37:16.080 We're down here assessing the situation to see if we'll be going.

00:37:18.740 So, I mean, just the level of damage here is just overwhelming.

00:37:27.400 But we don't have a public web page where we put sit reps on, so I can't add on that.

00:37:33.620 Do you have social media?

00:37:37.220 Are you guys on Twitter?

00:37:40.280 We're on Facebook.

00:37:41.480 I believe we're on Instagram.

00:37:43.480 It should be just Minuteman Disaster Response.

00:37:46.400 I don't know about Twitter.

00:37:47.680 Okay.

00:37:48.940 Apologize.

00:37:49.340 We'll send everybody over.

00:37:51.540 That's okay.

00:37:52.180 We'll send everybody over to your Facebook or your Instagram.

00:37:56.640 Pete, thank you so much for joining us.

00:37:58.340 I know you're busy this morning, so thank you for taking a few minutes.

00:38:01.320 Yep.

00:38:01.620 Thank you.

00:38:02.420 Goodbye.

00:38:03.920 There'll be a press conference at 11 o'clock Eastern Daylight Time.

00:38:10.520 We will jump into that and get some updates on this.

00:38:14.020 Jason Jones is down there.

00:38:15.880 The congressman, Chip Roy, is down there.

00:38:17.440 We'll get some other input in the second hour.

00:38:19.340 Let's go to – as soon as we get more information, obviously, we'll inform everybody.

00:38:23.980 Let's go to Brazil, to Rio.

00:38:27.440 Yesterday on Drudge, for the entire day of Fourth of July until late in the day after President Trump signed the big, beautiful bill and had this amazing ceremony, Philip Patrick, the headline, the Drudge lead was dollar has worst opening six months, I think, in history or 20 years.

00:38:46.880 You know, the drop of the dollar, you're at the conference, and I'm sure that came from the de-dollarization movement of BRICS. 1.00

00:38:54.100 What exactly is going on down in Rio?

00:38:56.800 What are the BRICS nations organizing?

00:38:59.460 We're getting ready to kick off this conference.

00:39:00.940 You've been down for a couple of days.

00:39:02.060 Get us up to speed.

00:39:02.820 Yeah, look, it's interesting.

00:39:06.140 It's hustle and bustle.

00:39:07.720 We've been out.

00:39:08.480 We're watching dinners between Chinese delegates and Brazilian real estate developers.

00:39:14.160 Deals are happening all over the place.

00:39:16.840 The dollar is certainly a topic of conversation, as you rightly point out.

00:39:21.120 Worst start for the year since 1973, since we came off the gold standard, dollars lost 10.5% of its purchasing power.

00:39:29.840 So, you know, it's looking primed for the BRICS and their plans longer term.

00:39:34.960 We had a very interesting interview with an economics professor yesterday, heavily involved in the BRICS leadership, and learned a lot in that conversation about different motivations for different BRICS countries, particularly Brazil.

00:39:51.340 So there is a feeling here of excitement and that things are moving forward.

00:40:01.620 Explain to the audience, we know during Biden's time, is this flow over from Biden because President Trump puts out the big, beautiful bill, and clearly it has some deficit there.

00:40:11.920 They've asked for a $5 trillion lift to the debt ceiling.

00:40:16.740 But the global capital markets kind of took this, the 10-year treasuries slightly down, gold's been kind of stable, the stock market's on a run again.

00:40:27.180 Explain to the audience, why does the dollar keep losing value relative to some of these other currencies?

00:40:33.880 Because this is one of the things the BRICS are saying.

00:40:35.740 If we can't do another currency, we've got to figure out some way to de-dollarize, right?

00:40:40.060 We've got to get away from the dollar being the center of world currency trading.

00:40:46.440 So why is the dollar continuing to deteriorate?

00:40:48.800 Why have we had the worst six months since we came off the gold standard under Nixon?

00:40:54.500 Look, I think there's a number of reasons, right?

00:40:56.740 It started in 2022 with Biden's weaponization of the dollar, and ultimately it showed nations around the world that they have risk.

00:41:04.360 But I think what I'm learning here is people misunderstand what the BRICS really are, right?

00:41:10.120 The argument that I always hear is, look, they're not politically aligned, right?

00:41:14.020 India and China can't agree on anything.

00:41:17.040 And there's sort of acceptance of that on the ground.

00:41:20.880 I mentioned I was interviewing an economics professor, and he said, look, you know, the idea of viewing them as a political unit is the wrong way to look at it.

00:41:29.420 They are not a bloc, right?

00:41:30.840 They don't have a chairman, they don't have a CEO, they don't have a board of directors, and importantly, they don't have agendas to vote on.

00:41:37.240 What they are instead is a group of countries that have come together to basically help one another out, right, with trade, development projects, and loans.

00:41:46.580 There's a feeling here of mutual cooperation because I think on the whole, BRICS nations feel snubbed by the West.

00:41:53.500 And now they, with China leading the way, they have a lot of clout.

00:41:57.020 Remember, they've got bigger GDP now than the G7.

00:41:59.680 So they're not politically aligned, but they are aligned in one area.

00:42:04.760 And that is, and this is a direct quote from the professor himself, and he was not anti-Western.

00:42:11.160 I want to be very clear.

00:42:12.640 But the aim here in their mind is to diminish power of the West.

00:42:16.600 And it was very shocking to hear until he started to explain the background, right?

00:42:22.360 And from an inside of BRICS perspective, it started to make a lot more sense.

00:42:28.120 And that is that BRICS members want different things, right?

00:42:31.020 For China, it's all about power, right? 0.88

00:42:33.540 They don't want a direct economic war with the West or Europe.

00:42:37.120 They still do a lot of business with us.

00:42:38.860 But they do want to become a global leader.

00:42:40.880 And they do want to recover Taiwan.

00:42:43.060 The question is, how much of their wealth do they want tied up in US dollars when they try that?

00:42:48.100 So they're very motivated to break dollar dominance.

00:42:51.700 For Russia, it's about economic security from sanctions, right?

00:42:55.360 For Brazil, in his mind, it was a little more nuanced, right?

00:42:58.280 They still harbor resentments about shitty deals offered by the IMF when they were struggling in the 80s and 90s,

00:43:05.360 essentially loans with too many strings attached, right?

00:43:08.040 Those difficult experiences during times of crises, I think, make them open to alternatives.

00:43:14.520 They see themselves, as the professor himself says, as a bridge between the global North and South, right?

00:43:21.220 To act as a moderator, balancing between China and the West.

00:43:24.860 This is basically their opportunity to seize a global role.

00:43:28.640 The point being, they all want different things, but they're united around a common purpose.

00:43:34.020 Philip, hang on.

00:43:35.900 Hang on one second.

00:43:37.020 That common purpose is to diminish the West. 0.91

00:43:40.280 Short break.

00:43:41.020 Philip Patrick from Rio, next.

00:43:44.740 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:43:51.180 Steve Bannon here.

00:43:52.280 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:43:54.000 I love this guy.

00:43:55.420 He's our wise man.

00:43:56.440 A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:44:02.560 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:44:12.560 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:44:19.500 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.

00:44:31.700 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:44:37.860 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.

00:44:43.200 I read it.

00:44:57.920 War Room.

00:44:58.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:45:01.200 Okay, thank you.

00:45:05.840 We're covering Rio, Kerrville, Texas.

00:45:08.440 We're going to go there.

00:45:09.080 Momentarily is going to be a press conference.

00:45:10.620 We're also covering the kickoff to the great election integrity conference at Ahern Hotel.

00:45:16.740 Matt Meck and the team in Las Vegas.

00:45:18.800 I'll be giving the closing remarks tonight, 8 to 8.30 Eastern Daylight Time, 5 to 5.30 out there in Las Vegas.

00:45:28.580 Also, we have Philip Patrick in Rio.

00:45:30.240 So, Philip, the mechanisms that they're talking about, we understand they want to diminish the power of the West, although they each have individual agendas.

00:45:37.940 We also understand, although the black hand of the Chinese Communist Party is in back of this, we understand that they are not fans of the U.S. dollar being the prime reserve currency for many reasons.

00:45:49.920 So what are the mechanisms that you're hearing?

00:45:52.100 The conference is a couple of days.

00:45:53.540 You're in breakout sessions.

00:45:54.900 You're getting interviews with the top people there.

00:45:58.160 What are you learning about the mechanisms of how – because the audience needs to understand this, not just for the geopolitical and geoeconomic direction of the country, but also for their own personal financial use, sir.

00:46:11.160 Yeah, it's been very interesting, right?

00:46:15.080 You know, for me it was always the plan was de-dollarization, but what's becoming clear is de-dollarization isn't the plan.

00:46:21.320 The plan is to diminish the power of the West.

00:46:23.760 That's the ultimate endgame, and de-dollarization is a means to an end.

00:46:27.720 But you see it clearly when you look at the systems that they've created, because the systems are set up to combat their weaknesses.

00:46:36.440 For example, the BRICS don't have political unity, right?

00:46:39.840 There's a lack of mutual trust between their governments and their central banks.

00:46:43.840 So what are they doing?

00:46:45.340 Massive central bank gold buying.

00:46:47.200 Remember, last year, gold has become the number two global reserve asset.

00:46:51.480 So gold is replacing the dollar as a store of value in central banks' reserves.

00:46:56.420 Essentially, gold is becoming the national savings account, if you will, right?

00:47:01.580 They need cross-border trade that sanction and Western oversight resistance.

00:47:07.480 What have they built?

00:47:08.460 They built swift alternatives, one open source, one propriety, firewall from U.S. control.

00:47:14.920 They want to use local currencies for trade, right?

00:47:18.880 But they don't want to keep them, right?

00:47:21.160 Enter Enbridge.

00:47:22.220 This is a digital clearing and settlement network, which allows nations to trade in currencies, local currencies, but then settle trade imbalances with gold, right?

00:47:33.000 The idea being, Russia doesn't want a pile of rupees or rand at the end of the year.

00:47:37.660 So they use currencies and they settle in gold bullion.

00:47:41.740 Zero trust required.

00:47:43.620 So gold essentially becomes the savings accounts and national currencies become the checking accounts.

00:47:49.000 Cost-border trade becomes easier once they've solved the currency problem.

00:47:53.640 And what are we starting to see?

00:47:55.260 Massive bilateral trade deals happening in local currencies.

00:47:59.260 What happens is that one by one, they chip away at the dollar's primary source of demand.

00:48:05.420 And guess what?

00:48:06.320 We're seeing it already.

00:48:07.900 Like I said, numerous bilateral trade agreements signed in local currencies.

00:48:12.480 This was unheard of a few years ago.

00:48:15.200 Now, I don't see this as being a binary situation.

00:48:18.440 I don't think on July 8th the world's going to be turned upside down.

00:48:22.240 But what I do think is the combination of fewer dollars in national checking accounts, fewer dollars in national savings accounts combined, they erode the dollar's dominance on a global scale.

00:48:33.620 And that slowly opens the door for longer-term dollar destruction and for an alternative to a pair.

00:48:39.820 People need to understand gold as a hedge against that, not just nations and central bankers but also individuals.

00:48:48.360 You can go to Birch Gold right now and get the end of the dollar empire, birchgold.com slash Bannon, end of the dollar empire, seven free installments.

00:48:55.320 I guarantee we're going to be coming out with the eighth as soon as Philip and the team get back from Rio.

00:49:00.340 Or take your phone out, Bannon, text Bannon, 989898 for the handbook, Investing in Gold and Silver in the Age of Trump, the ultimate guide to all of it free, everything free, all the information free.

00:49:13.400 Philip, I know you're jammed down in Rio.

00:49:15.300 You've got meetings for the next couple of days.

00:49:16.760 You're going to be back on Monday.

00:49:17.740 If something pops big, we'll get you up streaming live tomorrow.

00:49:22.520 But how do people – I just want people to understand, when they come to Birch Gold, how do they interact with you and your team?

00:49:28.500 Because the people that have – over the last three or four years since we've been working with you guys are always ecstatic about the customer service, how you guys take time and explain to them IRAs, 401Ks, all the methodologies.

00:49:39.800 How do people build a relationship with Birch Gold?

00:49:44.080 Look, it's really simple.

00:49:45.020 Well, get the information first is so important for us.

00:49:47.820 It's why they shipped me off to Rio to come and get as much information as I can.

00:49:52.160 So birchgold.com forward slash Bannon, that'll get access to all the written information, as you mentioned, end of the dollar empire, guides on how and why to invest under a Trump administration.

00:50:03.860 From there, they're going to have access to myself and people like me, knowledgeable on the subject area, can help sort of guide through, answer any questions, and just make this easy.

00:50:14.440 I think an informed customer is a customer that makes the right decision.

00:50:18.440 So it's that simple.

00:50:19.640 Now, you know, I'm really proud.

00:50:23.520 Bloomberg, television, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, nobody has had the conversation that you just had about what you're seeing there with the trade deals, the bilateral trade deals.

00:50:33.900 We're not just breaking news.

00:50:35.040 We're giving the audience inside baseball on really the core of global capitalism, right, capital markets particularly, of what's going to happen.

00:50:44.040 And really proud.

00:50:45.140 I'm so glad that we made the decision collectively to have you guys go down and do interviews and meet people.

00:50:50.860 So I think it's turning out quite well, given the information you're already garnering ahead of the market.

00:50:55.360 Thank you for the opportunity, Steve.

00:50:58.560 I'm glad to be here.

00:50:59.460 Thank you.

00:51:00.360 No.

00:51:01.760 It's not the price of gold, sir.

00:51:03.640 It's the process.

00:51:05.280 Hey, get to the price.

00:51:06.200 Remember, gold's about value, not about price.

00:51:09.340 Philip Patrick, thank you so much.

00:51:10.760 Honored to have you on here.

00:51:12.820 Smart move.

00:51:13.480 We made that decision months and months and months ago.

00:51:15.420 It's turned out well.

00:51:16.300 You knew the information, who he was meeting with.

00:51:18.640 And you'll get all the information when you go to Birch Gold.

00:51:21.260 Make sure you either take your phone out, text Bannon 989898.

00:51:25.940 You may contact with Philip Patrick and the team.

00:51:27.760 He's also up in Getter.

00:51:29.020 He's also up in Getter.

00:51:30.220 So you can go to Getter.

00:51:30.980 DM him there.

00:51:32.460 Or go to Get the End of the Dollar Empire.

00:51:35.340 We're going to have a new eighth installment coming out after Rio.

00:51:38.580 The seventh free installment is the Rio Reset, as you see what's happening right now.

00:51:45.160 The BRICS Nation's coming together.

00:51:47.020 Their number one thing they've got to figure out is how to take power away from the West. 0.93

00:51:51.760 That means the United States of America.

00:51:53.680 And how to take power away from the United States dollar.

00:51:57.400 Okay.

00:51:58.220 Diane Taraz takes us out.

00:52:00.460 Magnificent Music.

00:52:01.300 You can get her DVDs.

00:52:02.400 Think up on YouTube.

00:52:03.900 She's got two DVDs specifically about the songs of the revolution.

00:52:09.560 And then, I think, songs of early America.

00:52:12.100 Absolutely incredible.

00:52:13.500 We strongly recommend it.

00:52:14.760 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:52:17.820 Ben Burquam is at the press briefing in Kerrville.

00:52:20.740 We're also going to try to pick up a little bit of this amazing conference in Las Vegas for election integrity.

00:52:27.920 Got Ben Harnwell.

00:52:28.840 We're going to try to get back.

00:52:29.600 Megan Kelly is going to join us.

00:52:31.540 The second hour is a little jammed.

00:52:34.140 But we'll figure it out in the war room.

00:52:35.880 You missed the IRS tax deadline.

00:53:00.760 You think it's just going to go away?

00:53:02.100 Well, think again, the IRS doesn't mess around and they're applying pressure like we haven't seen in years.
