Stephen K. Bannon, Eli Crane, and Trevor Comstock join me in the War Room to discuss a variety of topics, including the latest in the Iran/Russia situation, the CIA, the Fed, and CENCOM, and much more.
00:01:26.000The ones she's come out with have been just, you sit there and go, how could this possibly happen?
00:01:32.000How could these folks get in there that are associated with the deep state, very anti-MAGA, anti-Trump, anti-America first.
00:01:39.000And, you know, now she's making the case that if you really, and I think it was triggered a little bit by I said, hey, look, this is a feature now, not a bug.
00:02:52.000And you have to get to the bottom of that.
00:02:55.000But the situation in Gaza right now is being driven by the domestic politics of Netanyahu.
00:03:02.000Not about taking care of business, getting the job done, finishing the job that we have advocated for, I don't know, since 7 October happened,
00:03:11.000which has still never been actually gotten to the bottom of how that did happen, just asking for a friend.
00:03:18.000Now we have a – the situation in Ukraine worsens every day, and we are inexorably getting drawn into a conflict there.
00:03:27.000We're going to get more information on all this in the rest of this hour.
00:03:31.000The show is absolutely packed, and Eli Crane is going to join us, a couple, three other folks as we go through some pretty big issues here.
00:03:38.000But I want to – Trevor Comstock, you had a landmark day yesterday.
00:03:42.000I want to get you a chance today for the reason is you guys at Sacred Human have a very distinct way that you look at the world.
00:03:50.000And you put out very few products, very few different products because you take a long time, years to think them through, to test them, because you've got very high standards.
00:03:59.000You don't want any unnatural stuff in here.
00:04:04.000You guys really go out of your way to make sure this is – these are very basic but powerful products, but that it's not the typical stuff that you see sold in so many other places.
00:04:14.000And you've clearly had a big hit with this new product you put out yesterday.
00:05:10.000But, again, thanks for the positive, overwhelming response.
00:05:13.000And for anyone that hasn't heard about the product, again, it's really amazing for skin.
00:05:18.000It's just the two ingredients that contain the grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow and then the raw manuka honey,
00:05:24.000whipped into like a smooth texture that you can apply directly on your face, your body, your hands, or wherever you may have dry skin.
00:05:31.000The beef tallow has essential nutrients like vitamin A, D, E, and K, which, again, are essential to keep your skin healthy and radiant.
00:05:40.000And then the raw manuka honey is great for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and it's just a healthy remedy in general.
00:05:47.000So, again, there's a ton of information, too, if you just go to the website, which is sacredhumanhealth.com.
00:05:53.000And if you click on the product page of the tallow, you'll see a rundown of all the different benefits.
00:05:58.000And then, again, we stack it up against like your common moisturizers that you'll find in like Walgreens or on Amazon or anywhere for that matter.
00:06:05.000But the only issue with those, you know, they may be effective, but they still usually contain like alcohols, fragrances,
00:06:10.000and a lot of synthetic ingredients that really aren't great for your skin and can sometimes damage your skin.
00:06:48.000So, of course, it is selling fast, but rest assured, our team is working overtime to make sure that we don't have to take it off the shelf.
00:06:55.000So, it shouldn't go out of stock at this point.
00:06:57.000If it does for whatever reason, we'll be back up soon.
00:07:16.000If people haven't noticed, we're getting drawn into this Ukraine thing, as we warned, quite rapidly.
00:07:28.000And President Trump just wants to bring peace, and we're going to have this whole situation with new sanctions on Russia.
00:07:33.000And I think new sanctions on the Chinese Communist Party if I understand the secondary sanctions.
00:07:38.000But this gets back to what Laura Loomer said today, very bluntly, about what you should think about when you're having your cup of coffee.
00:07:44.000And that is the president of the United States and Tulsi Gabbard and other people in his administration have charged treasonous conspiracy against just not a former commander in chief, but a former secretary of state and a Democratic nominee for president.
00:08:00.000And also of many of the most senior people in the intelligence and defense community for many, many decades, particularly John Brennan.
00:08:09.000And one of the centerpieces of this issue was Ukraine, right?
00:08:14.000Remember, President Trump was impeached over Ukraine, the perfect phone call.
00:08:18.940You look at the laptop from hell, and I handled the CCP part of that, which was, you know, it was just massive of the Biden's corruption with the Chinese Communist Party and taking money and making deals.
00:08:29.880But Rudy handled the – and John Solomon, those guys, handled the Ukraine thing, which is rife with corruption.
00:08:34.940And now you're having fistfights in the Ukrainian parliament because the citizens there want to commission for corruption.
00:08:43.520They want to know how much Zelensky is stealing, just like we want to know.
00:08:47.440So this thing is coming unraveled at the exact same moment.
00:08:50.300President Trump is putting out casualty reports that are – and he said, hey, I'm getting these from intelligence sources.
00:10:35.400Really, the developments are on the Russian side.
00:10:37.380Now, on the 31st of July, the former president and therefore obviously great ally of President Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, pushed out a statement pushing against President Trump's 10 to 12-day limit on ending the war before these threatened secondary sanctions come into play, which will work out to be around about next weekend.
00:11:03.100He opposed that, but he also reminded the world that the Russians still have this Soviet-era dead-hand system of self-defense, which is that even if the Russian political infrastructure is wiped out, there will be an automatic nuclear response against the United States.
00:11:22.400Against that backdrop, within the last 24 hours, President Trump responded by announcing that two nuclear submarines have been moved to an unspecified area, presumably in Russian territory.
00:11:36.820Now, to zoom out one moment, that is the sort of action that we've absolutely been warning against since President Trump won the election in November.
00:11:48.720And even before he was inaugurated, we said, you know, he's really got to distance the United States from this war before he gets dragged in to this escalatory tip-for-tap pattern, which is now unequivocally clear the case.
00:12:05.540The other thing to say is to say, zooming out ever so slightly, the whole point about the, you know, we don't know what class of nuclear submarines these might be, potentially even the higher class, which are the sort of super stealth nuclear submarines.
00:12:23.820But the whole point about these nuclear submarines is that no one knows where they are, unless you say so.
00:12:29.420So I would suggest to the Warren Posse on this point that it's likely the United States had nuclear submarines over there since the beginning of the Russian war on a just-in-case basis, as is most likely, most probable, the case that Russia has also had some of its own nuclear submarines floating around in American waters.
00:12:52.300What the escalator, what's being called sort of rhetoric escalation here is the fact that President Trump has said, I am now sending these basically nuclear submarines over into Russian waters.
00:13:06.260And that is obviously a throwdown to President Trump in this remaining eight-day, seven-day period on the negotiations, as I say before these secondary tariffs come in.
00:13:18.520Yeah, he's saying this because he's warning, he's doing the same thing in Brazil.
00:13:25.240It's a different scale, but he's warning senior Russian officials of what he calls loose talk.
00:13:31.280His point is that he thought the president there was implying that they were going to be reallocating their nuclear, repositioning some of their nuclear assets, right?
00:13:42.420We're going to come back and we're a little jammed here on a Saturday morning, but that's what you expect.
00:13:49.180On my favorite show of the week, we've got a lot to go through and a lot of folks to talk to and get information so that you guys can join it over the weekend.
00:14:02.220I think now more than ever understand why gold has been a hedge against times of financial turbulence.
00:14:09.460Yesterday, they really came after President Trump hard.
00:14:12.460We have warned about, warned about, warned about since the beginning the situation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics that every month in Biden's administration, you get this rosy picture.
00:14:24.280And then they would, the next month, recast two or three months and back with a big downward.
00:14:58.640This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:18.280As 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.
00:15:26.960While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.420The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:17:07.800What should people be smart about looking for these positionings of the – and when he says nuclear, we assume that those are ballistic missile submarines.
00:17:18.720The pre-positioning is always concerning, particularly one that is in Soviet military doctrine about the use of tactical nuclear weapons in battlefield situations.
00:17:30.500So this is – folks, this is one you can't mess around with.
00:17:32.600Your assessment, given they're having fistfights in the Ukrainian assembly, I mean, where do we stand with this entire mess, sir?
00:17:41.580Well, Steve, you asked what are the things to look out for.
00:17:45.260And let me name two things, right, on the Ukrainian side, on the Russian side.
00:17:49.140The first side, let's carry on with what we're saying about Russia.
00:17:55.360I would be, like, 70%, 80% certain that within the next few days he's going to parallel what POTUS has done.
00:18:04.040I don't believe he's going to escalate beyond that, but I think he will say, well, we have a couple of nuclear missiles now floating around off the – I don't know, off the east coast of America.
00:18:24.360Now, this is what's called rhetoric escalation as opposed to military escalation.
00:18:28.720But that is not to say it's not extremely important because, you know, when both sides are sort of acting like almost by pride and or for fear of showing weakness on the world stage, that can turn military or kinetic extremely closely.
00:18:44.780So the first thing to watch out for, how is President Putin going to respond, bearing in mind, let's not be naive about this.
00:18:51.860Both sides would have been pretty certain that the other side already had nucleus and marines off their own coastlines anyway.
00:18:59.640But now it's sort of – it's been made public, and therefore it's a throwdown, and therefore there's going to be necessary a type of response.
00:19:45.740The question is, President Trump didn't specify what sort of offensive missile, long-distance missiles, he's going to be providing at European taxpayers' expense via NATO.
00:19:55.220But one would assume we're talking something like attack comes or something.
00:19:58.660What is the need for these missiles, American-made missiles, to be provided to Ukraine when it is absolutely clear from what Ukraine is already achieving via its long-distance drones?
00:20:11.940The only reason – and we've said this constantly – is because President Zelensky is desperately trying to drag the United States into this war so that he has a chance to continue.
00:20:21.440And that's the backdrop, Steve, I would suggest between reading what's going on, the danger behind President Trump raising the stakes and announcing that he's going to send these two nuclear missiles to Russian waters.
00:20:37.600Lavrov's put out a statement with a bunch of points in it.
00:20:41.080On Monday, we'll have you break that down.
00:20:42.820But it looks like the Russians are saying, hey, we've got to continue forward with these talks, and the talks are having some progress.
00:20:49.820So we'll have you break down, Lavrov, on Monday.
00:20:52.580Ben Harnwell, where do people go in the interim for your social media?
00:20:58.080Exclusively on Geta, I put out my analysis under the profile of my surname, which is Harnwell.
00:21:03.640On the Lavrov points, he's made some very substantial and serious points that have taken the United States position extremely seriously.
00:21:10.900But I would suggest that they need to be interpreted within the context of what President Putin himself said yesterday, which is that he has the military advantage, and there's going to be no ceasefire between now and President Trump's deadline of next weekend.
00:21:29.480So those two things, I think, need to be read in the same light.
00:21:39.120Tej Gill, Laura Loomer said when the Warren Posse drinks their coffee this morning, she wants them to contemplate why Brennan is on President Trump's shortlist for high treason.
00:21:49.260Yet at the same time, he's getting all of his selections into DOD, CIA, NSA, et cetera.
00:21:59.440What coffee should we be drinking as we contemplate this very, very important topic for the nation and for President Trump's administration, sir?
00:25:54.740The way I've been looking at this for a while now is, you know, what are these different levels?
00:25:59.840And there are five very clear stages that AI kind of seems to be progressing towards and people responding to it, the way in which people approach it.
00:26:10.940So the first you have is AI as a tool.
00:26:49.440As we're all familiar with our new and rapidly changing environment,
00:26:54.740what is oftentimes thought of as a second axial age is what seems to be unfolding in front of us now,
00:27:02.520a new emergence of a new type of civilization.
00:27:07.660And if the transhumanists are correct, a new type of humanity.
00:27:11.520And if the post-humanists are correct, then a new species altogether, that of artificial life, artificial intelligence, robotics, so on and so forth.
00:28:42.020It just cannot keep up with that demand.
00:28:44.260I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.
00:28:48.600That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my patron supply.
00:28:53.180It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write out a blackout.
00:29:02.380And right now, for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator.
00:29:11.180Including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival twos, and more.
00:30:43.400We've held hearings in the oversight committee on, you know, white-collar entry-level jobs that are going to disappear at a very large scale within the next one to five years.
00:30:54.840And so, you know, this is something that I think is, you know, pretty terrifying.
00:31:00.220And I don't think that there's a lot of good solutions out there.
00:31:03.700And it's being pushed largely because of the fact that we can't lose to the Chinese or anyone else when it comes to the development of AI.
00:31:14.760And so I think there's going to be some ramifications that we're really going to have to deal with as a government and as a people.
00:31:24.840We had today Laura Loomer on talking about, you know, there's still this big problem with people in the administration that are Brennan devotees or come from what I call his coaching tree.
00:31:41.040We've had, you know, we've had all this movement inside the House and the Senate at President Trump's direction to remove funding for some of these deep state apparatuses that were used by Brennan and these guys to fund the kind of color revolutions in their globalism all over the world.
00:31:56.440One of them's National Endowment for Democracy that Mike Benz and company have done a great job exposing.
00:32:01.400We've actually had to move to zero it out.
00:32:04.500Then the money mysteriously gets back in there.
00:32:07.400I understand you're putting legislation forward to basically like Carrie Lake's doing a VOA and like they've done at PBS.
00:32:15.740The Corporation of Public Broadcasting doing the TALIA state is shutting down.
00:32:20.120National Endowment for Democracy ain't going away because it has so many sponsors in the imperial capital.
00:32:33.880This is really reminiscent to me of last Congress when I tried to defund USAID.
00:32:41.840You know, a large hat tip to the show.
00:32:44.140Hat tip to you guys for bringing on investigative journalists and reporters like Mike Benz and Natalie Winters and so many others.
00:32:51.860You do deep dives into these institutions, agencies, nonprofits, organizations, et cetera, to see what they're really doing behind the name.
00:33:01.720And, you know, this is this is another institution, nonprofit that, you know, I do believe is a cutout for the CIA.
00:33:09.400And I do believe it had a, you know, semi virtuous origin and what it was created to do.
00:33:16.980But like many of the agencies and institutions in Washington, especially over the last administration, it's been weaponized against the American people.
00:33:25.280And you covered some of it in your question.
00:33:27.880But, you know, one of the biggest concerns to me is because this is the national endowment for democracy and its job is to promote democracy.
00:33:37.180And you've got all these Democrats running around and saying that President Trump, the MAGA movement, the America First movement, we're all a threat to democracy.
00:33:47.400Therefore, they've used this agency to censor us and become weaponized to try and stop this populist movement because they absolutely see it as a threat.
00:33:57.920And so one of the reasons that I put forward this legislation was to try and give these guys a haircut and hold them accountable for what they've done, because, as you know, Steve, you know, we might not see any more of this institution carrying out the nefarious things that it's been doing under the last administration.
00:34:18.940But what's going to happen in the next administration? And the only language that a lot of these bureaucracies and bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. speak is power and money.
00:34:29.680And if you don't hit them where it hurts, you know, they're going to forget pretty quickly and they're going to go right back to doing what they were before.
00:34:36.700And so I want to make sure that we hold them accountable in the pocketbook.
00:34:41.140But I also want to put members of Congress on the record, you know, voting for or against this legislation, because, you know, the Warren Posse is one of the most savvy, you know, if not the most savvy, you know, base in the country.
00:34:55.480You guys are so informed because you listen to the show and all the people that Steve brings on each and every day.
00:35:01.840But by seeing how we vote up in Washington, D.C., not only do you understand which of your representatives actually get it and which ones are willing to do something about it.
00:35:14.720How are you walk us through it? Are you also asking for rescissions packages be done for the money that's already allocated?
00:35:21.720Are you trying to push impoundment rescissions package in 26? And what's your status of this legislation?
00:35:27.820Yeah, well, Steve, I believe we passed two appropriations bills out of the House so far.
00:35:34.440We'll continue that when we come back in September.
00:35:37.260So we'll find out if this bill, you know, the SBOPs bill actually comes up on the floor in September or whether they just strap the appropriations process altogether and push towards the CR.
00:36:57.100And we could absolutely use the War Room Posse to reach out to their members of Congress to tell them that they, you know, you guys want their members of Congress, your members of Congress, to help us defund this organization that is straying way far away from its original mission.
00:37:15.100We're going to get all on top of that starting this weekend, sir.
00:37:17.640And I look forward to seeing you in the next couple of weeks out west.
00:37:35.500One of my concerns here is that in the last 24 or 48 hours, we've gotten real signals and messaging from Altman and from the Zuck that something is about to pop.
00:37:47.720Are you hearing that in the community?
00:37:49.500Because I know people have been promoting, like Elon Musk's AGI, and it's a couple of years away or six years away, and it could be within a year.
00:37:57.860But this is the first time we've had these two guys focus on this issue of an AI companion, right, that everybody's got to have an AI companion.
00:38:05.720And you just had Elon push this thing out of Grok education, Grok for kids.
00:38:10.400It's – they're obsessed with this companion.
00:38:12.880It's going to unlock your superpowers, and it's going to make you like Superman or Batman, and you're going to have to have one.
00:38:18.560If you don't have one, you're going to be at a massive competitive disadvantage in the modern world.
00:38:24.000This push for AI companion, Steve, is basically the first sort of stage to get people completely dependent on these technologies.
00:38:36.860In some cases, we're talking about children using AI companions as teachers.
00:38:42.840In others, we're talking about presumably young adults that are basically relinquishing any chance of a true, deep, romantic relationship by falling in love with robots.
00:38:56.580But as you move up that scale, I think that alongside that emotional bond, you've got that ever-present promise that the AI will be the source for information, the highest authority.
00:39:11.360So what you see with Zuckerberg, Altman, Musk, to a lesser extent Google, but it will undoubtedly be rolled out there, to a lesser extent Anthropic.
00:39:21.060The idea is once human beings have normalized the idea that these entities, these non-human entities, are trustworthy, are reliable for solid information, and will solve problems that you are now convinced that you can't solve yourself,
00:39:42.520then we're set up for basically a kind of drone-like existence.
00:39:47.060Basically, we've become something like worker bees, although I would say worker bees probably use more of their own imaginations and cognition than the human that's spat out of whatever system they're trying to push, this sort of technodrome.
00:40:02.460It's not – how do you think they're going to push this out?
00:40:08.640I mean you already see advertisers that you need an AI companion or you need an AI assistant.
00:40:13.720You see people in an office environment and the people that are not keeping up.
00:40:17.140Look at the people that are like the top in the group, and later they find out the big reveal at the end of the 30-second spot is that those people are using artificial intelligence or they have an artificial imaginary friend.
00:40:30.460Friend, when do you think the big push to roll this out comes?
00:40:36.140Within the next year, it's already here in some ways, but it's more muted, I think, than it will be after it's become more and more normalized.
00:40:44.540I don't think much of any of this would be able to occur were it not for 2020 and the subsequent isolation, the widespread atomization, people becoming completely screen-dependent due to either lockdowns or stay-at-home measures, working from home, e-learning, all of that.
00:41:04.340This is absolutely the fruit of what Klaus Schwab called the Great Reset, or perhaps what we'll call under the current administration the Greatest Reset.
00:41:14.120This is basically the fruit of a trauma, a mass psychic trauma that left people dependent on screens and even becoming accustomed to it in a way that they enjoy it.
00:41:29.720What I think is going to happen in the next year is we're going to get a few test cases, such as the predictions of Dario Amadei.
00:41:40.160He says that most coders will be gone in a year.
00:41:44.800He says that if that does occur, and we'll see it happening rapidly, if that does occur, then we'll know that this promise of artificial intelligence, that the general intelligence, an artificial intelligence that truly equals human capacity, maybe something like that's happening.
00:42:01.660But we really won't know until they release the next model, and this is happening constantly.
00:42:10.060People like Gary Marcus are always pointing out these systems do not live up to their promises, and I think that has to be held in mind at all times.
00:42:17.940But as the systems do become more sophisticated, the job of the skeptic, the job of the doubter, becomes much more difficult.
00:42:27.300It's almost as if we were standing on a display looking at a prototype of a flying car that doesn't fly, and we're being told the flying car is coming next year or within five years.
00:42:40.540Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but the same sort of thing happened with the airplane, and people spend their entire lives flying now.
00:42:47.780So this is an open question, I guess is what I'm saying, Steve.
00:42:51.340And the implications, though, are so far-reaching, it has to be taken very, very seriously, because if something like that pops out the other end, humanity will be completely shaken to its core.
00:43:05.740Axios, I've got in Getter, this is where you go to Getter, I put up in Getter a great story in Axios, how the boom of the jobs, the apocalypse on white collar is going to be offset a little bit in blue collar, really for the capital expenditures.
00:43:18.920Joe Allen, where do people go? We've got about 15 seconds. Where do they go? We're going to have your stuff up on our sites today. Where do they go on social media?
00:43:27.180At J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z, and also go to the War Room Rumble channel. Tons of great stuff there.
00:43:35.600What if he had the brightest mind in the War Room delivering critical financial research every month?
00:43:41.960Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy.
00:43:45.600He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:43:53.840Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:03.220Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:10.260His 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.
00:44:22.460Right now, War Room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.

00:46:15.420You know, Steve, thanks for having me on.
00:46:17.360There are 150,000 inmates in federal prison.
00:46:20.700Half of those are minimum and low-security inmates, and many are eligible for the First Step Act.
00:46:26.700And what I'll say about President Trump signing this into law in 2018 is that it won congressional support by over 80 percent in the House and Senate.
00:46:35.920I don't think he's done anything that's come close to that or any president.
00:46:42.520And what the First Step Act does is allows inmates to take programs and participate in productive activities to reduce their sentence by up to a year or earn credits to spend more time in the community.
00:47:11.620So the Bureau of Prisons has not done a really good job of moving people out, and that's been a big problem, just implementing.
00:47:19.800Some people think that the Bureau of Prisons wants to keep inmates in because that's job security.
00:47:26.260I think it's probably just, you know, you know government as well as anybody else.
00:47:30.840Sometimes it's just that, you know, they just need, you know, better leadership.
00:47:35.180And with better leadership, they've got it now.
00:47:37.880You know, they've got really two good people at the very top.
00:47:42.060William Marshall came from West Virginia, the Department of Corrections there.
00:47:46.360So an outsider from the Bureau of Prisons, new blood to come in.
00:47:49.340And below him is Josh Smith as a deputy director, who is the first person who's actually served federal prison time, you know, I think close to 15 to 20 years ago on, I believe they were drug charges.
00:48:04.020But he turned his life around, had a very successful business, and has been, you know, working on reentry for a number of years, bringing people back and giving them opportunities.
00:48:13.560So the main thing that's supposed to happen with this First Step Act is to save money, return people that are also better.
00:48:21.640And, you know, these people are very low minimum risk.
00:48:45.020Is it that hard to work the algorithm to basically – because it's a mathematical formula, I think, and it should have been implemented years ago.
00:49:14.580Because the other piece of information, Steve, that they're trying – or the other act that they're trying to add on top is something called the Second Chance Act.
00:49:21.200It's also a Republican piece of legislation from back in George W. Bush days.
00:49:26.760So I do believe that we're getting closer to a solution.
00:49:31.500And there has been more progress made in First Step Act under this administration and in the last 90 days than there has been probably in the past, you know, four or five years.
00:49:43.440So these guys have done – you know, already started to turn it around.
00:49:47.820Here's – there's other issues related to the prison, too.
00:49:50.920They've got to – they're having some cutback on resources.
00:49:53.520I'm going to have you on next week where you can take 20 or 30 minutes to go through this because President Trump and prison reform is a very big item for him.
00:50:01.380Walt, where do people get you in the interim?
00:50:03.020Social media, particularly your writings over at Forbes on this issue, sir?
00:50:06.640Yeah, just to, you know, go to Forbes.
00:50:09.400You can Google Forbes and Walter Pavlo.
