Bannon's War Room - Episode 4675： Summoning The Demon Of AI; ICE Officers Under Threat From Extreme Leftists

00:00:00.000 I think tonight's a fairly historic night where I think you can go back and when you write the history, you'll say this is the night that the global free trade era begun by the United States in the post-war year led by the United States really came to an end.

00:00:15.660 There is now, I think, a permanent tariff curtain around this country, whether that's for good or for ill.

00:00:23.400 Well, we'll find out. But right now, what it means is that one person, one man has put in place the tariffs without Congress.

00:00:30.840 There's some question about the legality of what he's done. But you can also say, I guess it was done democratically.

00:00:36.220 If you voted for Donald Trump and didn't know he was going to put these tariffs on that were going to raise your prices and limit your choice.

00:00:43.080 Well, you were either willfully or were just misinformed. So this is a big night.

00:00:48.520 This is it. We are now in a place where there are tariffs that have gone up from what were three percent and an effort that went on for decades to reduce tariff barriers and increase free trade.

00:00:59.080 It's over now. There's a tariff curtain around America.

00:01:01.980 Welcome back to Squawk Box. Rick Santelli here with the big breaking news of the morning.

00:01:06.900 The big July job, job, jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls up seventy three thousand.

00:01:13.120 Definitely a bit light, but maybe it's the Goldilocks. We'll have to see how the market moves.

00:01:17.940 Seventy three thousand. That would be the lightest rate of the year.

00:01:21.860 You have to go back to October of last year to find a lower nonfarm pace at forty four thousand.

00:01:28.520 Now, the revisions. Here's a biggie. The two month revision minus two hundred and fifty eight thousand.

00:01:36.120 That is a biggie, a biggie. Average hourly earnings on month to month basis come in as expected.

00:01:42.540 Up three tenths. And if we look at year over year perspective, up three point nine.

00:01:48.000 That's important. That's a tenth higher than expected. Two tenths higher than three point seven in the rearview mirror.

00:01:54.320 And that three point seven was the lowest year over year earnings rate going back to mid twenty one.

00:01:59.840 If we look at the hours worked, hours work at thirty four point three.

00:02:04.200 That's up a tenth. That's a good thing. The unemployment rate moves up a tenth.

00:02:09.460 It moves up a tenth from four point one to four point two.

00:02:13.620 And this makes it the one, two, three, the fourth four point two read of the year to find a higher reading.

00:02:20.300 You're going way back. You're going all the way back to October of twenty one when it was four point five.

00:02:26.320 Now, if we look at labor force participation comes in a tenth light.

00:02:30.760 Sixty two point two. That's a tenth light in the rearview mirror and expectations.

00:02:35.940 Sixty two point two to find a lower number. You're going back to the end of twenty two.

00:02:41.040 And finally, the underemployment rate, which is called U six.

00:02:45.120 That four point two is called U three. Seven point nine on the underemployment rate.

00:02:50.360 That would equal where we were in March to find a higher one. You're going to February.

00:02:54.300 What's the market doing? The market and interest rates is moving lower.

00:02:58.740 Why is it moving lower? Because of the big revision would be my guess and maybe partially due to the light non farm.

00:03:06.060 But it is the revision. We have moved down quite a bit.

00:03:09.900 We're at four thirty two now. Pre number. We were hovering around four thirty nine ish.

00:03:15.680 And if you look at where we said the last week in a ten, it was at four thirty nine.

00:03:20.520 So we're now down about seven basis points on the week. A two year last week closed at three ninety three.

00:03:26.740 It is now down ten basis points. And that's after closing at the highest level yesterday in the Jordan since mid June, of course, of this year.

00:03:36.480 Pre opening equities. They're moving a bit lower, but they haven't made new lows in the Dow futures yet.

00:03:43.260 So we want to monitor that. You know, there's there's a couple of things we've got to remember as we look at this data.

00:03:49.220 One is the fact that these massive downward revisions are not new to this year.

00:03:54.740 The idea that somehow this is because of staffing shortages doesn't explain why we had the massive downward revisions for the last four years.

00:04:02.640 Basically, this is a post covid data collection problem when it comes to the jobs numbers.

00:04:08.640 In fact, just earlier this week, we got the quarterly business employment dynamics report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

00:04:14.780 And sure enough, that showed that twenty twenty four has another massive overestimation of the number of nonfarm payrolls.

00:04:22.120 So next year, when we get the annual benchmark report for that that 12 month period from March to March, we're going to see another huge annual downward revision.

00:04:32.760 And that's on top of the existing month to month downward revisions that we've already had and that we clearly continue to have.

00:04:40.860 So, again, the idea that somehow there's something wrong with the data and it just started this year, that's not really new.

00:04:47.980 Again, this is a post covid problem.

00:04:50.300 The BLS probably needs to seriously rethink all of their models, whether it's whether it's nonfarm payrolls, inflation, you name it.

00:04:58.340 The other good thing that I saw in this report, though, is the fact that a lot of the decreases that we've seen are actually coming from the federal government since January.

00:05:08.860 Nonfarm payrolls at the federal level are down eighty four thousand.

00:05:13.260 So they're they're clearly making good progress in terms of cutting the bureaucracy.

00:05:17.340 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:05:23.380 Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.

00:05:28.380 Here's the time I got a free shot, all these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it.

00:05:34.380 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:05:35.380 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:05:39.420 It's going to happen.

00:05:41.420 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:05:44.420 Mega media.

00:05:45.420 I wish in my soul.

00:05:48.020 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:05:51.460 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:05:55.540 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:06:01.880 War Room.

00:06:02.760 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:06:04.820 Bannon.

00:06:05.180 It's Friday, one August, year of our Lord, 2025.

00:06:13.300 Thank you.

00:06:13.920 We got so much to get to this morning.

00:06:16.720 So let's just cut through the jungle here with the machete.

00:06:21.360 We're going to have a couple of senators on here, I think, about the recess and what we're going to do about these appointments.

00:06:26.560 We're going to get an update in Texas.

00:06:28.520 We're going to have a very special guest come on about the Brazil situation.

00:06:31.600 President Trump hammering hard, Joe Allen, massive news on artificial intelligence.

00:06:36.840 We've got to start with the economy and these job numbers.

00:06:41.340 Joe LaVornia joins us from Treasury.

00:06:43.680 So, Joe, walk us through it.

00:06:44.760 I think what people are most concerned about are not the light number for the month of job pickups versus non-farm, but it's the revisions.

00:06:55.740 And particularly, I think the concern is we haven't had a lot of time to go through it.

00:06:59.860 It just got released, but the fact that it looks like the increases in jobs are coming in health care.

00:07:07.660 Let's talk jobs first and then we'll talk tariffs because President Trump last night put out a whole new – not a whole new, but really, I think, threw down hard.

00:07:16.140 We are reordering the world's trading relationships, and this is the way it's going to be.

00:07:20.480 And this is very significant because today is the one August when he said everything was going to happen.

00:07:25.480 Let's start with the jobs numbers, sir.

00:07:27.240 Sure, Steve.

00:07:28.120 So, yes, the numbers were light relative to what they had been, and they were down revisions.

00:07:33.560 But I want to focus on a couple of the key – you know, the good news.

00:07:36.620 Number one is that layoffs are very low.

00:07:39.520 We see that in jobless claims.

00:07:40.980 Initial claims are back down to their lowest reading in weeks.

00:07:44.300 So there's very little layoffs.

00:07:46.520 We have the one big, beautiful bill passed.

00:07:48.760 There's certainty on that.

00:07:50.240 You just talked about trade.

00:07:51.500 We've had numerous huge bilateral trade deals with some of our key trading partners.

00:07:57.000 Still some more to come.

00:07:58.420 That's a positive.

00:07:59.940 And we've got the CapEx comeback.

00:08:01.880 And that doesn't matter, Steve, because when CapEx is growing at a decade-plus high, that always presages faster employment.

00:08:09.560 So the data were on the softer side, but the outlook is great.

00:08:13.360 In terms of income creation, we had strong wages.

00:08:15.940 It's important because if we look at the details, all of the job gains year-to-date have been in native-born employment.

00:08:24.140 They're up about 2.5 million.

00:08:26.900 Foreign-born employment, which people use as a proxy for illegal immigration, was actually down a million.

00:08:32.440 So the wage trend will strengthen, as Secretary Besson has said.

00:08:36.860 And President Trump's economic policies now, which are being codified, will lead us on a much faster growth trajectory, Steve.

00:08:43.800 But we do need lower rates because lower rates will smooth this process to much faster growth.

00:08:50.080 And, again, President Trump has been proven correct.

00:08:52.560 You need lower interest rates.

00:08:53.760 I agree with all that, and particularly native-born versus non-native-born, real wage growth, all of it.

00:09:04.460 The only caveat I would put, sir, and I realize this administration has taken a very different tact, and Silicon Valley has taken a very different tact.

00:09:13.900 But traditional – your theory of the case on capital expenditures is based on a classical model where capital expenditures add to jobs.

00:09:22.920 I would actually argue that most of this is coming in capital – a lot of it, not most of it.

00:09:27.960 A lot of it is coming in capital expenditures related to artificial intelligence.

00:09:31.140 And I get a sense that the lightness in some of these numbers you're starting to see, not just – you know, not just economy coming out of this horrible Biden ditch, right, but you're also seeing – beginning to see the impact of artificial intelligence.

00:09:45.220 And my concern is the big capital expenditure may not lead to the actual employment growth that we anticipate given traditional models of CapEx to employment.

00:09:56.480 But since so much of this is going into either data centers, energy for data centers, or in infrastructure around artificial intelligence, we will start to – we will not – you will not get the labor pickup, you think, particularly in entry-level white-collar jobs.

00:10:15.660 Any thoughts about that so far, John?

00:10:18.400 I understand that point, Steve.

00:10:19.720 And this is where I think the one big, beautiful bill is so innovative in that it actually gives 100 percent expensing to build those data centers, factories, and plants.

00:10:28.820 And what it will mean, especially on the skilled labor side, where that pertains to a lot of blue-collar work, you'll see much faster wage gains because there will be real employment demand there.

00:10:39.220 On the CapEx side, I hear what you're saying.

00:10:41.540 Those are fair points.

00:10:42.640 However, when we look at the data, we are seeing some good growth in non-AI-related spending.

00:10:48.240 And I do expect that to accelerate.

00:10:51.020 Everything won't be just AI.

00:10:53.080 We've got the codification of those lower marginal rates on capital and labor.

00:10:57.920 So if we get the lower rates – money isn't tight, Steve.

00:11:02.460 We're going to be able to get housing costs down significantly, improve first-time affordability, which is at an all-time low.

00:11:09.760 And everything kind of will multiply and self-feed because the president has set an environment for the economy really to boom.

00:11:15.860 But it needs that liquefaction to actually grow, kind of like a garden.

00:11:20.560 A garden needs water.

00:11:21.500 It may have good soil and seeds, but it needs more than that.

00:11:24.280 The corporate earnings were very good to great, but the employment numbers are not there.

00:11:31.900 Are you concerned that we're going to have a lot of efficiencies coming to these corporations?

00:11:36.980 They're going to get great top-line growth and even earnings growth, but that's going to come at the expense of high-value-added, high-paying jobs?

00:11:46.740 No, Steve, I don't.

00:11:47.860 And I'll tell you why.

00:11:48.660 I mean, you've worked a long time in Wall Street.

00:11:50.640 A lot of the trading now is electronic, and I heard how we're not going to need salesmen and women.

00:11:55.440 It doesn't matter.

00:11:56.240 But in reality, if you're good and you add value, those are still very high-paying jobs.

00:12:01.540 What President Trump is going to create is a much more efficient system.

00:12:05.080 We're seeing – you mentioned employment numbers.

00:12:07.020 We're seeing government jobs go by the wayside.

00:12:09.360 You're going to see faster productivity tied to wages.

00:12:12.360 New industries come about.

00:12:13.820 Like, for example, we talked about the Genius Act, not so much on your show, but how innovative and all these new financial products and things come down the pike that will create demand for dollars, create new industries which are coming before our eyes.

00:12:26.940 So I'm an optimist that we're going to have high-paying jobs, certainly on the blue-collar side, but also, Steve, on the white-collar side.

00:12:33.820 It's just a lot of these industries are in their infancy, and we don't know what they're going to spawn, but I'm an optimist.

00:12:38.600 OK. Joe, where can people go to your social media?

00:12:44.480 Because I'm sure there's going to be a lot of updates today and different analysis and perspectives coming from Treasury.

00:12:51.920 Where do people go to follow you guys today?

00:12:54.160 Thank you, as always, Steve, at Livornianomics and, of course, at Secretary Besson as well.

00:13:00.680 Either – well, Secretary Besson for sure.

00:13:02.560 He's the main man, but you can follow me for those that want Livornianomics, and thank you again.

00:13:08.660 You're not a bad wingman, though.

00:13:10.680 Good job.

00:13:11.080 Thank you, Steve.

00:13:11.900 Good team together over there.

00:13:13.980 E.J. and Tony is going to join us at 11.

00:13:15.680 We're also going to talk until the labor number came out.

00:13:22.320 It was really a historic day as President Trump has reordered the world's global trading system,

00:13:28.800 put out a bunch of new tariff designations last night, et cetera.

00:13:33.380 Some are kicking in today.

00:13:34.800 Some are kicking in a couple of weeks.

00:13:36.200 Some are kicking in October.

00:13:37.480 But as Joe Leisman said right there last night, I think it was on Stephanie Ruhl,

00:13:42.440 President Trump has totally reordered the post-war international commercial relationships.

00:13:50.180 So we're going to get to all that later with E.J. and Tony.

00:13:53.640 We're going to talk about artificial intelligence.

00:13:55.380 James O'Keefe is going to join us.

00:13:56.940 Really packed this morning.

00:13:58.860 Birch Gold, now more than ever.

00:14:01.160 You can tell on a day like today, gold's going to pop.

00:14:04.200 But it's not about the price of gold.

00:14:05.800 It's about the process of how value is driven by gold as a hedge.

00:14:11.760 That's what you want to learn.

00:14:12.700 And you can learn it at Birch Gold.

00:14:54.560 I think it's in San Francisco to the park there, the famous park.

00:14:59.360 This July, there's a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, 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.

00:15:18.380 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.

00:15:26.760 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.

00:17:22.160 Joe Allen's joining us. 0.98

00:17:24.160 Joe, especially on the 6 o'clock show last night, but it got so crammed.

00:17:28.240 I did not want to just jam this thing in for Joe because it's too important.

00:17:32.480 And since we've had the jobs report and we're doing some analysis right now to make sure that we got actually got facts.

00:17:39.320 However, I have a feeling that some of this because you're seeing earnings go up and we've had great earnings, great earnings season so far by and large and but it's light on the employment side.

00:17:51.180 And I think if you go back through these numbers, a lot of those numbers are tied to health care, which is not a great thing because health care has got so much government involvement in it.

00:17:59.720 You want manufacturing increases, manufacturing jobs, all of it.

00:18:04.560 My big concern about the rush to artificial intelligence, it's not a – as Brian Costello said, it's not a productivity model they're using in artificial intelligence.

00:18:15.340 It's an efficiency model.

00:18:17.280 That means cutting out bodies, human beings to let artificial intelligence take over.

00:18:21.580 This is why entry-level, administrative, managerial, and technical jobs, those three areas, I think are going to have a great impact.

00:18:32.260 Over I think two months ago when we kind of profiled it, Axios, Jim Vanderhay particularly, was talking about the white-collar apocalypse coming from AI.

00:18:41.260 I'm not saying today shows it, but there's got to be some reason for the softness here, and we're going to work throughout the day and tomorrow to get to the bottom of it, particularly on the revisions, which are pretty big.

00:18:51.860 Joe Allen, here's what we're going to explain.

00:18:55.180 I want to play the cold open of yours because you've had two individuals already at the leading edge of this come out and say that AGI, artificial general intelligence, at least the way I take that they're saying, is a thing that is going to be coming quite soon, much sooner than people thought.

00:19:15.340 Is that your interpretation?

00:19:16.840 Steve, yeah, the most aggressive predictions are basically spreading like wildfire across San Francisco where the tech hub is.

00:19:28.240 You know, no one has any idea what's going to be spit out the other end of, say, OpenAI's current project to produce GPT-5.

00:19:37.440 But you're hearing again and again and again from Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, this promise that AGI is imminent.

00:19:49.400 If they're wrong, then this is the most egregious and ridiculous bubble that anyone has yet pulled off.

00:19:58.620 If they're right, then what they're talking about basically is creating a little G-God in a box, a system that will basically replace every intellectual job on the planet.

00:20:12.060 Maybe not in a day, maybe not in a day, but every single one of them seem to have this vision that either you will be forced to use these systems, which is already happening in corporations and schools across the world, or you'll be outmoded.

00:20:28.300 You'll be replaced.

00:20:29.500 You won't be cognitively effective in the new digital ecosystem if you don't, in essence, merge with the AI.

00:20:37.280 And just beyond that, of course, they promise superintelligence.

00:20:41.160 As the AGI begins to improve itself, then the belief that they have, and as they scale these systems up, the belief is that they'll create something that is basically a big G-God in a box.

00:20:53.620 It looks an awful lot like a UFO cult to me, Steve.

00:20:56.620 They're promising an alien intelligence that is superior to humanity that will arrive any day now to relieve us of our toil and perhaps even our physical bodies themselves.

00:21:09.000 If it was one of these cults, and I think you did a meme about this, which is quite powerful.

00:21:16.220 It was just a UFO cult.

00:21:18.160 It wouldn't have an impact or matter in people's daily lives.

00:21:21.440 This is about to not have an impact on your life.

00:21:23.960 This is going to overwhelm every aspect of your life, right, and actually change your life and probably change your life pretty dramatically.

00:21:31.500 Let's play.

00:21:31.880 We have the cult.

00:21:32.620 You had to put together a video for us.

00:21:35.480 Let's go ahead and show that, and I'll bring you back.

00:21:37.460 We are building something profound.

00:21:39.140 This is a kind of brain for the world.

00:21:41.480 It'll be personal, adaptable.

00:21:42.960 It'll be easy to use.

00:21:43.840 It'll give people incredible superpowers that were sort of science fiction only a couple of years ago.

00:21:48.640 Okay, so we believe, as an industry, that in the next one year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers.

00:21:59.340 It probably would look like what you might consider a very attractive extraterrestrial.

00:22:06.460 What I think an even more meaningful impact in our lives is going to come from everyone having a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, be a better friend, and grow to become the person that you aspire to be.

00:22:21.280 Insects are slimy reptilians are eyes so big that you could fall into them.

00:22:27.000 One way to say this is that within three to five years, we'll have what is called general intelligence, AGI, which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician, physicist, artist, writer, thinker, politician.

00:22:44.300 The people of open AI, Google, Meta, and countless startups are proving once again that America is impossible.

00:22:53.720 You are just impossible to beat.

00:22:56.540 I want to talk about our new effort, Meta Superintelligence Labs, and our vision to build personal superintelligence for everyone.

00:23:04.060 The only real extraterrestrials have a body similar to human body.

00:23:09.560 So now we're starting to look ahead to superintelligence, and even more than before, our focus must be on wide and fair access.

00:23:16.780 What happens when every single one of us has the equivalent of the smartest human on every problem in our pocket?

00:23:24.620 I think that personal devices like glasses that can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day, are going to become our main computing devices.

00:23:34.280 In the next year or two, this foundation is being locked in, and we're not going to stop it.

00:23:42.160 It gets much more interesting after that, because remember, the computers are now doing self-improvement.

00:23:47.760 They're learning how to plan, and they don't have to listen to us anymore.

00:23:53.240 We call that superintelligence or ASI, artificial superintelligence.

00:23:57.160 And this is the theory that there will be computers that are smarter than the sum of humans.

00:24:04.360 The San Francisco consensus is this occurs within six years.

00:24:08.940 When the end of that occurs, then they have reached a condition of having overcome human behavior, human thinking, human desires, desiring only to be in the kingdom of heaven, in the evolutionary level above human.

00:24:22.660 This is a kind of brain for the world.

00:24:25.200 It will be personal, adaptable.

00:24:26.720 It will be easy to use.

00:24:27.580 It will give people incredible superpowers that were sort of science fiction only a couple of years ago.

00:24:32.380 I think we need to recut that for after the break, because I just want to have Altman and Zuckerberg next to each other.

00:24:41.460 I wanted to have those, if we can do that, if our crack team can do that, cut out everything else.

00:24:45.980 You had the UFO cult guy in there, and it's very powerful, because he sounds like the same level of crazy.

00:24:54.260 Or I shouldn't say crazy. 0.90

00:24:58.800 He's not rational.

00:25:02.380 However, they're sending a very big signal right now, Joe, and that's what we need to focus on.

00:25:09.900 They're telling us something different.

00:25:12.780 Schmidt's thing was from a little while ago, right?

00:25:15.000 About three months ago, yeah.

00:25:15.920 The other two are from the last 24 hours, correct?

00:25:18.040 Three months ago.

00:25:19.200 He's also signaling.

00:25:21.220 He's signaling.

00:25:22.600 He's signaling what's going to happen.

00:25:24.440 He said right there about the programmers, which I keep saying.

00:25:30.560 Learn to code.

00:25:31.600 Well, that's not going to be that relevant anymore, since coding was like learning Sanskrit, and you had a bunch of kind of average coders or good coders, and it was the people who got jobs.

00:25:40.480 And then you had the Einsteins, the handful of Einsteins up here.

00:25:43.700 And Joe LaVarnia took a crack at answering the question.

00:25:49.400 He took a crack at answering the question, and his response was, hey, this capital expenditure is going to – we're going to build data centers.

00:25:54.760 We're going to build this technology.

00:25:55.980 We're going to build this, and you're going to have a lot of blue-collar jobs.

00:25:58.840 He's absolutely correct.

00:25:59.700 The construction of this and all of that is going to have a big boost on blue-collar, that skill set, the skill set of people that work with their hands and their heads that know how to make things.

00:26:15.160 However, the real question I was asking is on the other side, is that coming or not?

00:26:20.860 And what is disturbing to me anyway is that in the last 24 hours, we've had Altman and Zuckerberg, and Zuckerberg is – he's now putting out contracts to try to get the AI superstars at levels of signing people to $100 million contracts.

00:26:41.220 There's clearly something – Joe, take a minute here before we go to break.

00:26:44.360 There's clearly something up of what they're seeing in the Frontier Labs because they're conditioning us now for a big development that is upon us.

00:26:54.380 Do I interpret that correctly, sir?

00:26:57.340 One of two things are happening there, Steve.

00:26:59.180 Either they're conditioning us for what's about to be released from OpenAI or conditioning us to believe at the very least that these companies have this and are using it internally, or it's a major flop.

00:27:11.780 It wouldn't be the first time.

00:27:13.220 But certainly they can't keep promising that AGI is imminent and never produce.

00:27:18.940 Either the bubble pops or they unleash some sort of bizarre digital demon upon the world.

00:27:24.660 No, I don't know.

00:27:26.760 They haven't promoted that AGI is here.

00:27:31.440 We've always heard – he just said the consensus was six years away.

00:27:35.320 I don't think – we'll take a break.

00:27:36.860 I don't think – I haven't heard that they've said, oh, AGI is upon us and we're going to have it in the next six months.

00:27:41.940 It's always been to me.

00:27:43.680 It's been in the out years, three, four, five, or six years.

00:27:46.220 Anyway, we've got Joe Allens here.

00:27:48.920 It's the 83rd birthday of Jerry Garcia.

00:27:52.820 I heard at Golden Gate Park what Billy Strings is going to open.

00:28:01.040 There's 400,000 people heading there.

00:28:06.860 This is like the electric Kool-Aid acid test.

00:28:09.440 Anyway, short commercial break.

00:28:12.160 Joe Allens on the other side.

00:28:13.900 Joe Allens on the other side.

00:28:22.900 Hey, I realize you've got many choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service,

00:28:31.860 and there are new ones popping up all the time.

00:28:34.080 But here's the truth.

00:28:34.820 There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for,

00:28:40.980 and that's the team at Patriot Mobile.

00:28:43.720 For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines of fighting for our God-given rights and freedoms

00:28:48.660 while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks.

00:28:56.140 Don't just take my word for it.

00:28:57.520 Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in

00:29:03.620 simply by joining Patriot Mobile.

00:29:05.840 Switching is easier than ever.

00:29:07.860 Activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home.

00:29:10.220 Keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.

00:29:13.240 Patriot Mobile's all-U.S.-based support team is standing by to take care of you.

00:29:17.140 Call 978-PATRIOT today or go to PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon.

00:29:22.560 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon.

00:29:25.360 Use the promo code Bannon for a free month of service.

00:29:29.220 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon or call 972-PATRIOT and make the switch today.

00:29:36.660 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:41.360 So with everything else going on today, we're going to get to that because there's a lot.

00:29:46.500 We've got to get to this because there's been a signal sent to us in the last 24 hours.

00:29:52.420 And this is not Elon.

00:29:53.200 First of all, these people are freaks.

00:29:55.360 Okay?

00:29:56.740 Throughout mankind's recorded history, they've been two things.

00:29:59.920 Gold's been a hedge, and these people have been social outcasts.

00:30:03.180 Go back and read any history you want.

00:30:05.360 They've been social outcasts.

00:30:06.420 Now they're essentially running things because they're doing things that may be irreversible.

00:30:15.720 And this is not Elon Musk.

00:30:18.620 Remember, his whole concept is to sprinkle pixie dust on something.

00:30:23.280 Right?

00:30:23.520 If Tesla's going to change everything with cars, when that doesn't work out and the Cybertrucks 1.00

00:30:28.120 doesn't sell, he sprinkles more pixie dust.

00:30:30.580 It's going to be something else.

00:30:31.500 We're going to go to the moon.

00:30:33.500 We're going to expand human consciousness.

00:30:35.140 It's pixie dust.

00:30:36.720 You know, he's a PT Barnum.

00:30:38.180 He's a promoter.

00:30:39.620 Look, don't get me wrong.

00:30:40.620 Great engineer.

00:30:41.240 He's done some extraordinary things.

00:30:42.960 But at heart, he's a promoter. 0.91

00:30:45.800 These other two guys, as screwed up as they are, haven't traditionally been. 0.97

00:30:50.680 Zuckerberg more so, but Altman not. 0.99

00:30:53.120 Let's play.

00:30:53.660 Have we cut it yet?

00:30:54.560 We will have it.

00:30:55.320 If we don't, we'll get to it in a moment.

00:30:57.640 Yeah, we're good.

00:30:58.400 Okay, let's go ahead and play it.

00:30:59.360 I want to play that recut.

00:31:00.440 Your thing was brilliant, and particularly the way you put in.

00:31:02.960 And was that the Heaven's Gate cult that you intercut it with, Joe Allen?

00:31:10.020 Marshall Applewhite.

00:31:11.040 I think Marshall Applewhite will stand as a symbol of American novelty

00:31:15.160 and also a warning for what happens when you drink the Kool-Aid.

00:31:18.820 Without a doubt, it would appear that Altman and Zuckerberg and Schmidt

00:31:24.280 have drank the Kool-Aid.

00:31:26.160 They believe this superintelligence is incoming.

00:31:29.680 It is an alien intelligence.

00:31:31.900 They're literally talking about a being smarter than every human on Earth,

00:31:36.420 and they're directing the public's attention to this as the new authority

00:31:40.860 on what is and isn't true, what is and isn't good.

00:31:46.260 What's most shocking, too, is they have the exact same, I mean,

00:31:49.200 it's just the same resemblance, the same blank look,

00:31:53.440 the same devoid of humanity when they address you.

00:31:56.620 When we reported on Zuckerberg, you brought up a great point

00:32:00.340 that he had to have had a marketing team put all that together

00:32:04.220 and coach him through the whole thing.

00:32:06.320 Altman would have had the same.

00:32:07.580 I think we've cracked the code.

00:32:09.120 I'm pretty certain that they were looking at those old Heaven's Gate videos

00:32:13.020 and they're like, this worked.

00:32:14.900 Maybe it can work on millions or even billions.

00:32:17.360 Okay, well, hang on.

00:32:20.660 We've recut the video, so let's just see Altman.

00:32:22.880 And this has taken place in the last 24 hours, correct?

00:32:27.140 Before we play it?

00:32:27.640 The Altman video just surfaced yesterday.

00:32:30.080 I can't find the source on it.

00:32:31.500 It surfaced on Reddit, but I believe it's addressing Norway.

00:32:35.260 The context indicates there's a video addressing Norway,

00:32:37.980 trying to get them on board, probably the Project Stargate expansion,

00:32:42.240 and to believe that superintelligence is coming.

00:32:50.020 So there's a message coming from these two guys.

00:32:53.420 Let's go ahead and play it.

00:32:54.720 We are building something profound.

00:32:56.400 This is a kind of brain for the world.

00:32:58.720 It'll be personal, adaptable.

00:33:00.240 It'll be easy to use.

00:33:01.100 It'll give people incredible superpowers

00:33:02.860 that were sort of science fiction only a couple of years ago.

00:33:06.020 What I think an even more meaningful impact in our lives

00:33:08.660 is going to come from everyone having a personal superintelligence

00:33:11.960 that helps you achieve your goals,

00:33:14.160 create what you want to see in the world,

00:33:15.980 be a better friend,

00:33:16.980 and grow to become the person that you aspire to be.

00:33:19.480 I want to talk about our new effort,

00:33:21.240 Meta Superintelligence Labs,

00:33:23.200 and our vision to build personal superintelligence for everyone.

00:33:26.600 So now we're starting to look ahead to superintelligence.

00:33:28.760 And even more than before,

00:33:30.180 our focus must be on wide and fair access.

00:33:32.820 I think that personal devices like glasses

00:33:34.620 that can see what we see, hear what we hear,

00:33:37.180 and interact with us throughout the day

00:33:39.000 are going to become our main computing devices.

00:33:42.140 A kind of brain for the world.

00:33:43.940 It'll be personal, adaptable.

00:33:45.460 It'll be easy to use.

00:33:46.320 It'll give people incredible superpowers

00:33:48.100 that were sort of science fiction only a couple of years ago.

00:33:53.180 This is artificial general intelligence

00:33:55.680 is the combination of all of it.

00:33:57.920 It's the ultimate gold here.

00:33:59.020 That is what they consider the singularity.

00:34:00.820 And now they are directly tying it back to you personally,

00:34:04.000 that you're going to have,

00:34:04.600 it's not going to be some macro,

00:34:07.000 just governments, intelligence services.

00:34:10.080 The selling point is, no, you're going to have it.

00:34:13.000 Like you have an automobile, you have a refrigerator.

00:34:15.760 They're selling these like they sold TVs

00:34:17.220 back in the 1950s and 60s.

00:34:19.660 You can tell that they're quite nervous

00:34:22.000 about overall acceptance of this from the humans, right?

00:34:25.320 So now they're going to sell you on the fact

00:34:27.320 that the superintelligence is going to bring out

00:34:30.120 all your latent superpowers, Joe Allen.

00:34:32.500 Well, if you look at what's happening right now,

00:34:35.800 Meta has long been behind on artificial intelligence.

00:34:39.440 They were big promoters of open sourcing.

00:34:41.700 Their model, Llama, is one of the most downloaded

00:34:44.580 open sourced AIs there is.

00:34:46.360 But their chief AI scientist, Jan LeCun,

00:34:50.100 he always poo-pooed the idea that AGI is coming.

00:34:55.240 It's impossible that it's going to come by way of LLMs.

00:34:58.040 You can't just keep building bigger and bigger data centers,

00:35:00.560 he said, to make bigger AIs, to create AGI.

00:35:04.540 It had to be some other method.

00:35:06.320 Well, Zuckerberg, watching all these frontier AI models

00:35:09.960 rocket ahead of him, decided that he would begin

00:35:13.440 his superintelligence labs.

00:35:15.900 He brought on Alexander Wang, who was previously at Scale AI,

00:35:21.780 the billionaire boy genius, to run the superintelligence labs.

00:35:25.720 And I think that Zuckerberg, right now, is in the sales phase.

00:35:29.840 He's saying, our company, along with having 3.5 billion users,

00:35:35.140 along with already having people who are addicted to these AI companions,

00:35:39.880 along with the steadily increasing usage of these bizarre self-surveillance glasses

00:35:45.920 that watch everything that you watch and hear everything that you hear,

00:35:49.300 that they, Meta, will be able to create this big G god in a box. 0.71

00:35:54.940 I don't say that flippantly, either.

00:35:57.060 When I say that they're talking about creating little G gods 1.00

00:36:00.200 with artificial general intelligence and big G gods with superintelligence,

00:36:04.500 I mean exactly that.

00:36:05.620 How else are you to interpret some being

00:36:08.600 to which everyone turns for the truth

00:36:11.280 and which is in everyone's hand or on everyone's foreheads?

00:36:15.980 Well, we're going to have to look.

00:36:19.000 There's someone in the demon.

00:36:20.380 Let me be blunt.

00:36:21.060 There's someone in the demon.

00:36:23.640 And you've got Palantir with the surveillance.

00:36:25.800 You've got the health with the data.

00:36:27.300 We've got to get – so, Joe, here's what I want to do.

00:36:30.360 I want to have you go back to work here 0.99

00:36:32.100 and come back and join me in the 5 to 7 hour.

00:36:35.200 And I'm going to do some work this afternoon.

00:36:37.660 And you and I are going to put our heads together.

00:36:39.420 And we're going to be a little –

00:36:40.940 we're going to be even more sharply focused on this this evening

00:36:43.440 because there is a lot going on here and a lot of it is not great.

00:36:48.340 Just a lot of it is not great.

00:36:50.000 If you have – if we achieve artificial general intelligence,

00:36:53.400 I don't know, next 100 days, next six months,

00:36:55.800 the world is not ready for that.

00:36:58.740 Societal structures are not ready for that.

00:37:00.660 Just not ready for it.

00:37:02.940 And if they're not ready for it, trust me, it will be put to bad use.

00:37:06.320 Joe Allen, where do people get you in the interim?

00:37:08.520 Your social media, all of it.

00:37:09.740 Social media, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z, website, jobot.xyz.

00:37:16.720 And in about an hour and a half, if the audience is interested,

00:37:20.820 the AI and Faith Summit, I'll be answering the questions,

00:37:23.960 is AI the will of God, the work of the devil,

00:37:26.680 or the mere tinkering of man?

00:37:30.480 Yeah, that's going to be – you're going to go on at noon.

00:37:33.120 We're going to stream that.

00:37:34.020 So Grace and Mo, I think, are on that, AI and Faith.

00:37:37.740 We're going to have all that, Joe, with your talk and your Q&A.

00:37:42.740 So we look forward to seeing it.

00:37:43.700 That's at 12 noon, basically, sir?

00:37:46.900 12.40, yes.

00:37:49.620 12.40, perfect.

00:37:50.680 So two hours from now.

00:37:51.400 Okay, great.

00:37:51.980 We'll be on top of it, and then I'll talk to you this afternoon.

00:37:53.900 Joe Allen.

00:37:55.420 Thank you, Steve.

00:37:55.900 James O'Keefe has warned us, as he's done so many times with his undercover investigations.

00:38:05.340 Let's go ahead and play.

00:38:05.880 We've got an opening video from James, and we'll bring James O'Keefe in.

00:38:09.060 Do you know when the ice raids are going to hang out?

00:38:11.260 Yeah, and so my organization runs a couple of databases where we can see ice trends,

00:38:20.220 like where they're keeping people, where they're moving people around.

00:38:23.740 We keep track of everything that's happening with ice as much information as they'll give us.

00:38:30.640 Sometimes we have to sue them to get information.

00:38:32.900 Who's your main donor?

00:38:33.660 It's usually like foundations, like the Gates Foundation, or Jeff Bezos,

00:38:41.940 or like some of these huge philanthropists who have millions of dollars.

00:38:47.500 And Vera is proud of their work.

00:38:49.680 Santiago Muque candidly shared how Vera created notification systems

00:38:54.040 to alert illegals of ice agents and impending raids.

00:38:57.940 These organizations, at worst, they could be setting up ice officers 0.65

00:39:03.240 to be put into dangerous situations where they are harmed.

00:39:09.120 James O'Keefe joins us.

00:39:10.640 James, is this one of the reasons we're struggling a little bit

00:39:13.600 to kick into the mass deportation part of this,

00:39:19.140 now that we have $170 billion in a supply chain logistics system being built?

00:39:24.580 Is this the NGOs with databases and a lot of funding

00:39:27.760 that are essentially thwarting the will of the American people, sir?

00:39:32.000 Hey, Steve.

00:39:32.860 Good to be with you.

00:39:33.620 Yes, this appears to be a violation of federal law,

00:39:36.500 specifically Title 8, U.S. Code 1374.

00:39:39.940 And I think the key quote from this guy who works for a nonprofit is he says,

00:39:44.340 quote, if you see someone from ICE, you can text the group,

00:39:48.420 and it'll go on a website, and illegal aliens can avoid the area, unquote.

00:39:52.520 So they're actually deploying alert systems to notify them of approaching ICE raid.

00:39:57.240 Now, they're going to say, well, they're just informing people.

00:39:59.120 Well, but that's the issue.

00:40:00.560 It's an obstruction of justice issue.

00:40:02.440 And what's also interesting, Steve, is that he actually names donors.

00:40:06.000 And he says, Bezos and Gates.

00:40:07.960 We looked at their 990 tax return.

00:40:10.380 It doesn't say a name on there, but it's $188 million from one person to this nonprofit.

00:40:17.320 But it's rare that you actually get to see that admission

00:40:19.560 where they're actually creating notifications for illegal immigrants.

00:40:22.900 What's disturbing also?

00:40:26.380 I mean, it was very sophisticated.

00:40:27.720 He said they had eight separate databases they could check immediately and put out alerts.

00:40:33.000 Does that come from their ability to people giving them $180 million

00:40:36.620 so they have that type of capital investment?

00:40:39.100 They can get access to those databases?

00:40:42.540 Yes.

00:40:42.940 What's also disturbing, and I didn't know this, Steve,

00:40:45.020 but he admits that the government had given them money.

00:40:48.380 And in 2023, they got $350 million from Health and Human Services.

00:40:55.500 The United States government is funding this, or was funding this,

00:41:00.180 171, excuse me, from the Department of Health and Human Services.

00:41:03.460 So now they're getting funding from, we believe it's Mackenzie Bezos, not Jeff Bezos.

00:41:09.300 Bezos' ex-wife, after that divorce, she got a lot of capital to go fund this.

00:41:15.560 But what's specifically outrageous about this is they're actually,

00:41:18.740 they have texting groups and notification systems.

00:41:22.340 And then this is new, too.

00:41:24.100 The DOJ has issued a statement.

00:41:26.060 The DHS has issued a statement saying that they're going to prosecute, Steve.

00:41:30.760 We'll see.

00:41:31.260 But we've got a statement from the White House, DOJ, and DHS saying they are going to, quote,

00:41:38.280 take action.

00:41:39.780 Their ICE law enforcement already faces 800% increase in assaults against them

00:41:44.840 after what's happening, shielding criminals from justice.

00:41:49.500 Are you, have they debriefed, has either DOJ or DHS debriefed your investigative reporter yet

00:41:57.660 for all the details?

00:41:58.680 I mean, are you guys being, is your material being used to actually correct this?

00:42:04.520 This is a statement from DHS.

00:42:06.480 I would love that, by the way.

00:42:08.560 I hope for that.

00:42:10.240 It's rare that we get a statement from the White House, Department of Justice, and DHS.

00:42:13.880 But they said, quote, our brave, this is last night, our brave ICE officers are getting the worst of the worst.

00:42:18.800 By telegraphing operations, not only are they shielding criminals from justice, they're putting our law enforcement in harm's way.

00:42:26.020 As they target highly sophisticated gangs, our ICE law enforcement already faces 800% in assaults against them.

00:42:31.900 We are going to take action.

00:42:33.680 So, this appears to be obstruction of justice.

00:42:37.780 They're saying they're informing.

00:42:39.340 They have a First Amendment right to inform.

00:42:41.160 But this kind of may cross that legal line, Steve.

00:42:45.340 And, you know, I know your audience feels this way.

00:42:47.820 My audience is pissed off.

00:42:49.760 I keep reporting this stuff.

00:42:51.960 I report every undercover report every week.

00:42:53.960 I'll have one next week.

00:42:54.820 But no one is arrested or ever held accountable.

00:42:58.340 So, certainly, that's the issue.

00:43:00.080 I don't have the power to arrest anybody.

00:43:03.000 But I hope that they do get...

00:43:04.400 Hang on.

00:43:05.540 Yeah.

00:43:06.280 Just stick around for a second because the audience is already all over this.

00:43:10.900 Because we've got to pivot to the mass deportation phase.

00:43:13.440 And this is absolutely obstruction of federal law.

00:43:16.940 Right?

00:43:17.920 Short commercial break.

00:43:18.900 Jerry Garcia will take us out.

00:43:21.480 James O'Keefe will bring us back in in a moment.

00:43:24.820 You may be in the fate of Ophelia.

00:43:30.320 Sleeping and put a chance to dream.

00:43:35.620 If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.

00:43:55.060 And boom. 0.96

00:43:56.380 Your home title has been transferred out of your name.

00:43:59.780 Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.

00:44:03.960 You won't even know it's happened.

00:44:05.500 Until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.

00:44:10.840 So, let me ask you.

00:44:12.460 When was the last time you personally checked your home title?

00:44:15.820 If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:44:19.860 And that's exactly what scammers are counting on.

00:44:58.380 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:45:00.880 So, James, James, I got you staying over because you're one of the great warriors.

00:45:09.200 I mean, come on, man.

00:45:10.820 You do the best investigative work out there.

00:45:14.200 This is not a small thing.

00:45:15.260 This is a huge thing.

00:45:16.100 It shows you that these NGOs backed by these oligarch billionaires.

00:45:22.360 Oh, did I mention that these are the people in back of AI, too?

00:45:25.220 Folks, I'll guarantee you one thing.

00:45:28.160 This jobs report, and particularly the recasting, is very much tied to artificial intelligence.

00:45:32.620 Now, a lot of people are maybe going to try to spin it.

00:45:34.540 Oh, it's not.

00:45:35.460 You can see these great earnings reports and no job creation.

00:45:39.360 You're going to hear this restatement.

00:45:40.780 This AI is literally out of control.

00:45:42.940 You're summoning the demon.

00:45:43.900 And here you've got a situation where you have all these databases.

00:45:46.820 You have these NGOs.

00:45:47.760 You see the guy in the video, another bad hombre, right?

00:45:51.320 And they're kind of laughing at you.

00:45:53.260 They're laughing in your face because they have these oligarch billionaires or the divorced wives of the billionaires, the oligarchs. 1.00

00:45:58.900 They're putting in hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure that illegal alien invaders are not mass deport.

00:46:06.220 And let's be honest.

00:46:07.100 The mass deportations, we're kind of hung up right now.

00:46:08.980 We're still getting bad hombres out, but they're throwing up every legal challenge, and we haven't pivoted hard to the 10 to 20 million that got to go.

00:46:17.140 If they don't go, we don't have a country.

00:46:19.280 We can build all the walls we want.

00:46:20.880 We can stop them all from coming in, and that's been extraordinary, what President Trump has done.

00:46:24.780 But you have to have mass deportations.

00:46:27.120 And James O'Keefe, you are basically telling the Justice Department and DHS, we're not going to have mass deportations until this problem is taken care of, right?

00:46:37.700 This has got – we can't mess around with this.

00:46:39.720 You've got to be – and you're in D.C.

00:46:41.240 You should be over there being interviewed by these people right now and your investigative reporter.

00:46:44.660 All the footage stood.

00:46:47.360 And then they should go in and bust this thing up.

00:46:49.380 That guy in that video should be arrested this afternoon and his superiors.

00:46:53.000 And the people that wrote him a check, they ought to go perp walk.

00:46:56.100 If it's Bezos' divorce wife, Mackenzie, they got to go – you know, she's in between husbands right now. 1.00

00:47:02.460 They got to go perp walk her, sir.

00:47:04.420 Well, I'm in D.C. right now, Steve, about to meet with a cabinet-level official on another story I'm dropping very soon.

00:47:11.200 And I hope the DOJ prosecutes that guy.

00:47:13.780 But the direct quote I want to reiterate to your audience.

00:47:15.980 Quote, this is from an NGO director who has now deleted his LinkedIn and his X account.

00:47:20.980 Quote, if you see someone from ICE, you can text the group and it'll go on a website so that illegals can avoid the area.

00:47:28.560 That seems to be way beyond informing.

00:47:31.980 That seems to go to obstruction.

00:47:34.000 And the NGO, the nonprofit, denies that they're doing that.

00:47:37.980 He says they're doing it.

00:47:39.020 So now he's deleted all of his social media accounts.

00:47:41.400 The DHS has said they're going to take action, quote, unquote.

00:47:45.300 I don't know what that means.

00:47:47.060 But people need to be arrested.

00:47:48.260 Steve Bannon, I've been arrested multiple times.

00:47:50.640 You've been arrested.

00:47:51.840 It seems like they always arrest the people who are reporting on this stuff, not the people who are doing it.

00:47:57.640 Yeah.

00:47:59.280 Well, between this and the and all the revolutions coming out on the Tulsi Gabbard treasonous conspiracy, which they're manifold.

00:48:07.000 We're going to get to that in the next hour.

00:48:08.960 O'Keefe, you're a warrior.

00:48:10.620 I will make sure as soon as I'm off the show, the people, the contacts I have, you've got to be talked to, interviewed.

00:48:16.140 This thing with the NGOs and being supported, this is a direct thwarting of the will of the American people, what they voted for.

00:48:23.840 This is anti-democratic and it's got to be stopped.

00:48:26.320 James, all your different investigations, where do people go to contact you, where they contact you, where the social media, your website for O'Keefe Media Group, where they go?

00:48:39.460 O-M-G, O'Keefe Media Group dot com.

00:48:41.920 We're also a nonprofit, but there's our number on the website.

00:48:45.860 Contact us.

00:48:46.680 And, Steve, I promise we're working on some major things right now at various agencies, including the IRS and other agencies.

00:48:53.780 And if people don't get arrested, I'm going to start investigating the people who are refusing to arrest these people because I've got some stuff that's insane.

00:49:02.320 I'm in D.C., Steve.

00:49:03.320 So if you have contacts for me to meet with, message me offline.

00:49:07.340 I'd love to get some accountability going.

00:49:11.760 Yeah, no, I'm going to call you as soon as the – let me catch my breath as soon as the show is over.

00:49:16.500 And I'm going to call you because, you know, you're not too far wrong there.

00:49:22.180 We need to see movement now.

00:49:23.560 When you deliver the type of things you're delivering right there, which shows you there's a cabal of oligarchs and their cash with these NGOs.

00:49:32.480 And, look, the NGOs, and you mentioned it, took the government money during Biden's time and worked – part of it worked to suppress the free media.

00:49:40.280 The rest of it worked to exacerbate and work with this invasion of the country.

00:49:45.760 We would have never had 10 to 20 million people in here if the NGOs weren't a major part of it.

00:49:49.760 They're just working the other side of the street right now.

00:49:52.320 They're still doing the same thing.

00:49:53.400 They're trying to protect – here's the – folks, they think they can wait us out.

00:49:58.680 They said, yeah, Trump won.

00:49:59.840 He came back.

00:50:00.540 It was great.

00:50:00.940 He did some stuff.

00:50:01.860 But they're going to wait us out.

00:50:03.140 Their whole point is to wait us out, and that's how they're going to do it with these NGOs.

00:50:06.480 So this is a huge thing.

00:50:08.140 It's got to be addressed, and you're absolutely correct.

00:50:10.100 If people are going to take action on things, then they have to be held accountable.

00:50:13.000 We've got to hold people accountable.

00:50:14.200 They're in positions of power and can do things.

00:50:16.540 So, James, thank you so much for doing it.

00:50:18.180 Your investigative work is always top level and cuts to the heart of the matter.

00:50:24.200 So thank you, sir.

00:50:24.840 From one warrior to another.

00:50:26.580 Thank you, Steve.

00:50:28.940 Thank you, brother.

00:50:29.620 Appreciate you.

00:50:32.580 We don't need statements.

00:50:34.220 What you need to do is get O'Keefe and the reporter in with all the footage.

00:50:39.400 See it all.

00:50:40.160 And then let's go roll.

00:50:42.480 First of all, they're going to kick down the door of wherever this place is.

00:50:45.540 Have the reporter, yeah, this room, boom, kick down the door, cuff them all, take them down, throw them in a paddy wagon, take them down, you know, take them downtown, book them, let them stay down in the, you know, if it's in New York, let them stay in the tombs for a couple of nights, and then figure it out.

00:51:04.600 But if either it's not going to stop until you make it stop, you can't play nice with these people.

00:51:13.200 You see what they're doing right there?

00:51:14.500 And remember, these databases, they want to dox the ICE officers.

00:51:21.240 This is one of the reasons it's very tough to recruit for Customs and Borders, very tough to recruit for ICE, because they want to threaten these people's lives and their children's lives and their homes, all of it.

00:51:31.060 This is why you're not, this is why you have to be masked if you're a nice officer.

00:51:35.200 There is a massive, massive resistance to this, and it's funded by the same groups that are funding Mom Danny in New York City.

00:51:48.140 It's that green, it's the Marxists and radical jihadists.

00:51:53.060 And here you have these billionaires, or the ex-spouses of billionaires, can't figure out, you know, they've run through a couple of boy toys, so now they want to, you know, have these social justice warriors, and they're going to write big checks and support this. 0.99

00:52:08.320 Crap. 0.99

00:52:09.260 Go in and tear it down immediately, and arrest them, put them in jail. 1.00

00:52:12.140 Well, if you want to stop it, let's stop it.

00:52:16.320 I don't need a statement, let's just go do it.

00:52:19.700 Action, action, action.

00:52:22.560 A lot of action down in Texas, action on recess, action on rescissions.

00:52:26.500 The three R's, everything's grinding. 1.00

00:52:29.420 Right?

00:52:30.080 Understand President Trump, they put another 10 to be nominated.

00:52:32.660 I'm not sure that's good enough.

00:52:33.540 Just call recess and let President Trump do recess appointments.

00:52:37.200 We're going to have E.J. and Tony here on the math.

00:52:39.800 We're going to have Senator Tuberville who's going to join us.

00:52:42.240 I think we're going to get Senator Mike Lee.

00:52:44.280 We've got a special guest from Brazil.

00:52:46.420 We're making it up as we go along on the commemoration of Jerry Garcia's 83rd birthday here in the war room.

00:52:57.200 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:53:03.560 Steve Bannon here.

00:53:04.720 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:53:06.380 I love this guy.

00:53:07.240 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:53:15.460 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:53:24.840 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:53:31.880 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.

00:53:44.100 Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:53:50.700 This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
