Bannon's War Room - Episode 4906： Basic Fundamentals Of Driving An Economy; Redfields Warning

00:00:00.000 turnout affair. I mean, it wasn't a low turnout affair in New Jersey or New York or Virginia,

00:00:03.520 and it wasn't a low turnout affair in California either. And so this was not a situation in which

00:00:08.560 you had very few people voting and you just had quirky things happen. This was, as you say,

00:00:12.780 an energized electorate that made a decision that they had had enough and that they were

00:00:16.840 going to stand up for democracy in California. It's not just that it was high turnout for what

00:00:23.280 you call a process, but think about it. If I had told you a year ago that there would be a ballot

00:00:27.600 initiative in California to undo a nonpartisan commission map and put in place a partisan map,

00:00:34.900 you would have told me I was crazy. If I had also told you that in Virginia, the way in which

00:00:39.640 Democrats would rescue, frankly, one of their more difficult candidates for attorney general

00:00:46.500 would be by pivoting towards the promise of redrawing maps, that that would energize and

00:00:53.960 galvanize electorate and flip, you know, 13 statehouse seats along the way, you would have

00:00:59.600 said I was crazy. And finally, you know, Chris, in Maine, you know, how many times have you and I

00:01:03.680 been lectured by Republicans about how popular voter ID is? Well, voter ID was on the ballot in Maine

00:01:09.840 and it got smoked. I mean, it lost by 20 points in Maine, which, as you know, is a kind of purple

00:01:15.660 state. So there was a lot of democracy on the ballot last night and democracy won.

00:01:20.340 Our governor's moving out of their mansions in Virginia. I actually, I had a call with

00:01:26.940 Steve Bannon last night and interviewing him for the newsletter to see what his take was.

00:01:34.400 The tea.

00:01:35.600 The tea. And he, you know, his take is sort of like Karl Rove's take and Newt Gingrich's take,

00:01:42.640 which which is we got a lot of work to do. Democrats figured out how to run on affordability.

00:01:50.300 Democrats figured out how to win on on populist issues. And we were running traditional campaigns

00:01:59.000 straight out of 1990, you know, old Republican style campaigns, which is we're going to cut taxes

00:02:05.580 and we're going to fight against the state government. And what Bannon said about Spanberger

00:02:13.100 and Cheryl was they went straight to people's pocketbooks. They went straight to their dinner

00:02:18.540 tables and they talked about affordability. They talked about higher electric bills.

00:02:23.520 And he said that's why it wasn't even a close fight. And he thinks that this election and the

00:02:29.900 Democrats sort of adapting and adjusting and whether it's in New York or Virginia,

00:02:35.360 or up in New Jersey, he says it's going to be, you know, the future is going to be right wing

00:02:41.460 populism versus left wing populism. And Democrats, he thinks, have a lot of reasons to, you know,

00:02:49.920 to follow up on some of those successes.

00:02:51.960 Look, Donald Trump's big lies have not gone away. And election annihilism is still in full force in the

00:02:56.940 Republican Party. And unfortunately, we're going to see it in the 2026 midterm elections. I think Donald

00:03:01.500 Trump and by the way, in the lead up to this election, remember Donald Trump over the

00:03:05.180 weekend said that there was already massive fraud in California. And, you know, he already and the

00:03:10.580 White House already said that they needed to clamp down and pass new executive orders as before the

00:03:14.940 results even came in. I think this morning, Donald Trump woke up and had a choice. He could either

00:03:19.580 claim that, you know, 17 point defeats were actually the results of fraud, or he could just blame

00:03:25.880 everyone else. And he went with blame everyone else. So I don't think that he's going to be able to do

00:03:30.240 that in 2026 when it's Congress that's on the line, when it's curbing his power as much as he

00:03:35.440 likes to have Republicans in positions of power in governorships. It's not crucial to his power in

00:03:41.300 the same way it is with Congress. So I expect we will see the full bag of tricks back for 2026.

00:03:46.980 I think a week from Friday is the last day before we move over to the palace, which I visited yesterday

00:03:51.800 and it's very nice to be a nice move for us. But yeah, you're you're absolutely right. We talked

00:03:57.480 about this yesterday and it sounds like Steve Bannon understands this well, which is staying

00:04:02.740 away for Democrats from all of these social issues that dogged them a year ago and have dogged them

00:04:08.200 for the last couple of years and just saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk about what's really

00:04:12.440 important. The fact that you can't afford to buy groceries, that you can't buy a house until you're 40

00:04:16.940 years old in this country, all the things that are so true in this country right now. And so Abigail

00:04:22.340 Spanberger, Mikey Sherrill, Mom Donnie in New York City, are those skills, are those messages

00:04:28.600 transferable? Democrats seem to think so now as they move ahead a year from now to the midterm elections.

00:04:34.000 You mentioned, Joe, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. He too is warning Republicans

00:04:39.160 they have a major problem now after Tuesday's election results. In an interview at the New York

00:04:43.840 Times, Gingrich said he believes President Trump is right about his absence on the campaign trail,

00:04:50.000 meaning voters stayed home, a challenge Gingrich says the party has to confront.

00:04:54.920 Gingrich told the Times, quote, Republicans need to confront that we had a bad night and that it

00:04:59.800 didn't have to be a bad night. You can't just shrug your shoulders and say, gee, if only we could

00:05:04.660 run Donald Trump every time because you can't do it. When you talk about 26 and 28, Republicans have

00:05:10.680 to find a way to motivate the base Trump voter to come out and vote. The role of the church is to

00:05:17.000 preach the gospel. And just a couple of days ago, we heard Matthew's gospel, chapter 25, which says

00:05:24.420 Jesus is very clearly at the end of the world. We're going to be asked, you know, how did you receive

00:05:30.180 the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not? And I think that there's a deep reflection

00:05:37.960 that needs to be made in terms of what's happening. Many people who've lived for years and years and

00:05:43.540 years never causing problems have been deeply affected by what's going on right now. The spiritual

00:05:49.520 rights of people who have been detained should also be considered. And I would certainly invite

00:05:57.780 the authorities to allow pastoral workers to attend to the needs of those people. Many times they've

00:06:07.460 been separated from their families for a good amount of time. No one knows what's happening,

00:06:12.380 but their own spiritual needs should be attended to. I have noticed over the past week or so,

00:06:18.660 um, the Pope, uh, the American Pope speaking out repeatedly about the importance of Catholics,

00:06:29.500 if they are good Catholics to go out and to welcome the foreigner, uh, you know, he's citing the good

00:06:37.540 Samaritan verse versus in Luke. Jesus is explaining who your neighbor is. Uh, the Pope says we will be

00:06:47.600 judged by how we welcome foreigners. And you have now the archbishops, uh, in Chicago, when Washington

00:06:57.220 across the country, delivering powerful messages, the Pope even at one point suggesting it's hard to

00:07:05.140 call yourself pro-life. If you support such horrific treatment of those who are alive, our neighbors,

00:07:14.220 as Jesus would say, our neighbors, the foreigner, that's what Jesus said. So if you have a problem

00:07:22.400 with that, don't even take it up with the Pope. If you're claiming to be a Christian, take it up with 1.00

00:07:28.640 Jesus because that's what he says. And so, yes, this is, as we see the church get more and more involved

00:07:38.280 in the protecting of the dignity of human beings, of God's children. You are going to see this become

00:07:46.400 a more difficult political issue. Yes. Even for Republicans who've turned a blind eye to everything

00:07:54.040 that Jesus said in the new Testament about, uh, about, uh, welcoming foreigners, uh, being kind

00:08:02.800 to the least among us. It's just, it's just, again, it's, this is something the Pope has started

00:08:08.460 talking about something. He's not going to stop talking about.

00:08:14.520 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on

00:08:22.880 this people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly

00:08:29.960 full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world

00:08:33.520 to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like

00:08:37.020 that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people

00:08:44.640 had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my

00:08:52.580 country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:09:05.080 Thursday, 6th, November, Eurovary 2025. A president is going to come on at 11 tentatively from the Oval

00:09:12.880 Office. Um, I don't know what that's about. I assume it's going to hear maybe something about

00:09:19.200 drug pricing, some moves President Trump is making, obviously, to, um, uh, with this agenda

00:09:24.860 he's got, um, to, um, make people's lives better, at least make the economy hum more,

00:09:30.100 and then people can figure out what they're going to do with their own lives. He's not

00:09:33.460 there to control it. Um, I got up on Getter right now. This is why Getter's free. So if

00:09:38.700 you want to go and see all of my brilliant early morning thinking, it's not simply affordability.

00:09:43.960 What I was trying to say is it's affordability is part of the issue. This way we've had Dave

00:09:49.860 Walsh on for so many years talking about the key for affordability and driving costs down

00:09:54.860 is a full spectrum energy dominance, right? And President Trump's getting it. That's when

00:10:00.160 he responds, Hey, costs, you know, things are coming down because energy costs are coming

00:10:03.900 down. Obviously, uh, other issues of affordability have to be, um, uh, attacked and you're going

00:10:11.340 to see with the situation because tariffs are not, there's no demonstrable evidence

00:10:15.940 at all that tariffs are driving up, uh, prices. Tariffs are adding to revenue coming into the

00:10:22.820 treasury because remember, if you can actually show that prices are rising because of tariffs,

00:10:26.520 they would be, you know, browbeating you every day. Now the Supreme Court and let's be blunt

00:10:32.980 yesterday, I don't think it was a great day for the home team in making the argument. It seemed

00:10:38.060 pretty skeptical. Now oral arguments are just oral arguments. The briefings themselves were,

00:10:44.040 were very impressive. That's why I had David Lynch and David Lynch is not MAGA. He's the

00:10:49.660 first to admit that David Lynch, you know, from the, the world's worst bet, but Lynch who

00:10:54.840 starts off as a globalist talks about, Hey, the bunch of stuff they believed under the Clinton

00:10:59.740 and Bush years, particularly Clinton just turned out to be fundamentally wrong. And, you know,

00:11:04.520 either say they lied to people or misrepresented about what was going to happen to the American

00:11:08.840 worker, the world's worst bet, how the globalization gamble, gamble went wrong. And, uh, what do you

00:11:15.940 can do to make it right? Anyway, it's a book that you ought to try to get. He said yesterday that,

00:11:19.920 and this is why I want to make all the, uh, filings available to you. He said, when you read the

00:11:25.280 briefings, it's much more impressive than the oral argument. And he actually came from,

00:11:29.560 I think this thing could potentially get blown out by the Supreme court to, Hey, it's a 50 50 coin

00:11:35.420 toss. So that gets back to not just affordability, but the other part of affordability. You cannot

00:11:42.180 just focus maniacally on affordability alone and everybody's jumping in. It's two twofold. It's jobs

00:11:49.420 and affordability jobs and affordability. Uh, we made a bet. The Trump administration made a bet

00:11:59.340 and, um, and, and the house and the Senate went along with it. We disagreed with a big part of

00:12:05.660 this. This was the big, beautiful bill, the big, beautiful bill. Scott Besson has said on the show

00:12:10.120 for a year before he became secretary of treasury on this very show that this was the last time,

00:12:18.280 last chance to have a supply side tax cut. What supply side tax cut focuses on the means of

00:12:23.920 production, the capital investment you need in factory plant equipment, capital equipment,

00:12:28.720 to drive an economy. Uh, the basic fundamentals, the big, beautiful bill was to do that. 0.73

00:12:34.980 Also the tariffs simultaneously was to say on the golden door, the golden door, you're either

00:12:40.620 going to pay a premium to get into this market, the best market in the world, or you're going to

00:12:46.720 shift your manufacturing over here. That the combination of a tax cut and particularly the

00:12:52.800 ability to write everything off in the first year, right? As a, as a real tax shield will, uh, will drive

00:12:59.340 capital investment and you will get other capital investment from those companies that, uh, that want

00:13:04.480 to avoid the tariffs and come here. That's the bet folks. We have to keep that in mind. Now the question

00:13:10.700 is, is that actually happening?

00:13:13.060 We love Scott Besson. Scott keeps saying, Hey, wall street's going to win out and main street's

00:13:19.700 going to win out. We need to see the data. And cause I don't know, I think the fourth quarter

00:13:25.320 numbers could be a little, uh, could potentially be a little weak, particularly the top line. Now

00:13:29.480 remember the, what I didn't agree with the big, beautiful bill, and it was on here banging away

00:13:33.820 and talking to people behind the scenes, nonstop was about taxes that for the upper bracket,

00:13:40.100 you should have a snapback or at a million dollars, create a new bracket at a million bucks.

00:13:45.980 And they get, they get charged 40%. The argument against that and the argument they're making

00:13:51.420 about the mass deportation is those, Oh my gosh, you're going to, you're going to affect top

00:13:55.300 line GDP growth that the top 1%, 5%, 10%, whatever you want drive so much consumer spending and

00:14:04.840 the illegal alien invaders. Cause there's so many of them. And I don't know, 15 or 20 million 0.99

00:14:09.780 just on Biden's watch. They spend every penny they get either from government programs, charity,

00:14:15.440 or the work that they take away from American citizens. They spend it all when they have to,

00:14:21.040 because obviously they're not making a ton of money. Those two elements, that's the economy

00:14:26.920 you got folks. Plus the massive Keynesian infusion. This is the kind of structural issues

00:14:34.380 the United States faces. Now the question is, are those factories really coming back? Is the 19

00:14:40.780 trading we hear about, what is actually coming back? And one of the, I think the political interview,

00:14:46.620 I said, you got to designate, I don't know, pick it, Lutnik, pick a random name. Maybe the

00:14:50.740 Secretary of Commerce. Every day he should be on top of, well, hang on. Behold, do the break.

00:14:59.760 Let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation. That's reality. And if a

00:15:05.800 portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Now here's the facts.

00:15:11.500 Inflation is still too high. The U.S. dollar is still too weak. And the government debt is

00:15:16.180 insurmountable. That is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving up

00:15:21.540 the prices now to record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in

00:16:59.120 you to know and understand, right? Wall Street doesn't want to know it, the deep state, the

00:17:04.400 apparatus. They don't want the American people to actually understand things. This is kind of like

00:17:10.480 the French Revolution. Remember when the finance minister came because they had to bring all the 0.85

00:17:15.080 estates together to raise taxes because they had helped in the war against the United Kingdom.

00:17:21.160 They had helped partly, they'd helped finance, actually more than partly, they'd helped finance

00:17:26.560 their mortal enemy, the British, fighting their colonists in the United States. Their financing

00:17:32.540 of the, that's why it's all indestructibly linked from the American Revolution to the French Revolution,

00:17:36.920 is that that's one of the ways that France went bankrupt. They actually went bankrupt on a bad,

00:17:43.940 bad, bad economic model that the aristocracy just sucked it out of the people. But what triggered

00:17:51.140 it was paying the bonds, paying the debt that they financed for the American Revolution. And when they,

00:17:59.040 when they published the, and the finance minister said, hey, here's one way we do it. We get the people

00:18:03.140 on our side, we just publish, in a broadsheet, we just publish the numbers. We publish the math. And so when

00:18:08.780 the people see that, they'll say, yes, we have to tax the church, and we have to, and we tax ourselves,

00:18:13.380 give us more taxes, because we'll help the crown. It didn't work out like that. When they publish it,

00:18:18.880 people looked around and go, these guys are living up in Versailles, they're living like, you know,

00:18:22.920 they're living like heavenly beings, and we're in the sewers of Paris eating rats. Maybe it's time to

00:18:30.020 make amends. Kind of the beginning kicked off all the revolutionary period all the way through today.

00:18:37.240 But it's important that you understand. It's important that you understand. Because all this

00:18:43.280 talk and all that, you know, it didn't turn out, etc. You led in the years in the wilderness,

00:18:49.500 it was on your shoulders that the entire thing rested. And President Trump made the most heroic

00:18:56.580 decision ever, with full moral clarity, to return, like Cincinnati's from the plow, to return

00:19:04.580 back to the political battlefield, understanding that they would bankrupt him, destroy his family,

00:19:12.520 put him in prison, and eventually try to assassinate him. All of it. And you put him on your shoulders

00:19:21.080 and drove to an amazing victory. To do what? To get lower information, lower propensity voters,

00:19:27.880 which is kind of the holy grail of modern politics, as shown by Obama, and shown by Trump,

00:19:34.860 and shown by now Zoron, or Zoron, that this is the key to victory. And they did have huge turnouts.

00:19:44.700 And this is an alert. And we just can't sit there and go, oh, it's idiotic. This is blue states. No,

00:19:48.800 forget that. And God loves Scott Pressler. We're doing a book with Scott Pressler.

00:19:53.680 I think Scott Pressler is amazing. But there's no apparatus around Scott Pressler. Scott Pressler is

00:19:58.520 going around knocking on guys' car windows. It's fantastic. And it's motivating. And he's a great

00:20:04.020 man in driving this. But it's so much more than that. And part of it is to make sure exactly,

00:20:10.100 before you have a plan you can execute on exactly what are we trying to accomplish or what are we

00:20:15.380 trying to do? What are we trying to do? And a big part of this is growth in the, we made a bet,

00:20:22.920 the big, beautiful bill. We made a bet. And I said at the time, you're going to live or die on this bet.

00:20:30.400 Because these are the type of structural things. Once you do, you can't be swerving off them.

00:20:34.880 You got to have that absolute conviction. We made the right decision and we're just going to drive

00:20:40.380 it forward. But you have to execute on it. The president of the United States can only do so

00:20:45.060 much from the oval. He can set the strategy. He can set the tone. He can set the messaging.

00:20:50.680 But he's busy trying to end the third world war and trying to secure the border and get the

00:20:55.340 insurrection out that's in our cities and one million other things and cut these deals and meet

00:21:00.840 people and shake hands and say, yes, you want to be, yes, come do this, build this and come up with

00:21:06.880 this incredible strategy on redoing the world's commercial relationships. That's what yesterday

00:21:12.020 was. And if we get a chance, I'll figure it out. I want to play the whole three, three hours and

00:21:16.180 maybe get Navarro somebody into commentary. It was a great civics lesson for you and your kids

00:21:23.060 on an enormously complicated issue about the world's trading system and the world's commercial system

00:21:29.940 and how it's screwed American workers by not the second law of thermodynamics, which kind of David

00:21:38.680 Lynch and still guys believe that this inexorable move of globalization, it doesn't have to be like

00:21:44.740 that. It doesn't have to be like that. We believe that as like a medieval theology for 30 or 40 years

00:21:52.460 and led to the, um, the gutting of the, of the industrial power of the United States.

00:22:01.200 That's what president Trump's trying to bring back. That is a key part. So growth is based upon a

00:22:07.200 couple of things. One is the capital investment made possible by the big, beautiful bill.

00:22:13.240 In addition, and this is the addiction we have, you have to just understand that we are addicted to

00:22:22.980 federal Keynesian, a Keynesian infusion. There is no understanding of economics that says with where

00:22:31.100 we are in employment and where we are with inflation that you continue to basically turbocharge

00:22:36.500 by these massive deficits. That is the seven trillion dollars of spending with the five

00:22:44.180 trillion dollars that we take in that two trillion dollar essential gap. And some of that's being cut

00:22:49.160 by terrorists, but that's still there. And no spending has not been cut little, virtually at all.

00:22:55.180 Doge didn't do it. That was all phony. Um, Russ Vogt is attempting to do it. But when we talk about

00:23:00.840 rescission package, you're talking about $5 billion here, $3 billion, mainly symbolic to show that

00:23:05.440 President Trump's Article II powers, he has the ability that the appropriations bill, which is a

00:23:10.560 law, is a ceiling, not a floor. Until you get, as we've preached on this show for years, until you

00:23:20.360 get the control of the spending and the gap, the financing of that, because basically a third of

00:23:25.980 that has to be rolled over and financed, you're going to continue in inflation because you're financing

00:23:31.260 it at higher rates. As good a job as Scott Bess and these guys have done in the bond market.

00:23:39.000 But it's affordability and growth. It doesn't matter if things get down under 2% and are affordable

00:23:45.780 if you ain't got a job. And right now the stats are coming out of kids that went to colleges and

00:23:51.100 particularly named colleges. I think I saw something the other day, 30% of graduates are getting jobs in

00:23:56.580 and what they've dedicated their lives in college and other places to learn.

00:24:02.700 Graduates coming out, people under 35 are not, no way they're getting the jobs. And you can see

00:24:07.960 all over, as much as corporate America is trying to hide it, that most of these job cuts are coming

00:24:15.360 from artificial intelligence. The jobs apocalypse has kind of started.

00:24:19.660 And that gets me to a topic, and we're going to explore this more, is that, you know, NVIDIA,

00:24:29.660 Jensen Wang, you know, I said he's an agent of influence of the Chinese Communist Party, full stop.

00:24:36.100 Full stop. He may be worse than that, but he's at least that. Yesterday he comes out, China will win 1.00

00:24:42.660 the AI race. China will win the AI race. Now, why was that? Because, oh my gosh, he's throwing his toys

00:24:48.840 at the pram because we restricted him on selling the top chips to China. What did I say when I signed

00:24:55.220 that proclamation on artificial intelligence, that scientists had to have an agreement among the top

00:25:02.600 technology and scientists, and you had to have then a buy-off by the American people? I said the central

00:25:08.160 part of that is we can stop, because all they're saying, oh no, we're falling behind China, we're

00:25:12.760 going to fall behind China. We'll cut them off. Not just of these chips, cut them off of capital, 0.98

00:25:17.380 cut them off of education over here, cut them off of training at these companies. All of them go home.

00:25:24.440 Look, and many of these are the sons and daughters allowed by Jing, but this is just a, the Chinese 1.00

00:25:28.720 Communist Party has weaponized you. And yes, under no circumstances can we allow the Chinese Communist 1.00

00:25:34.780 Party to get a lead in AI? And Jensen Wang sitting there going, well, it's not, at first, it was not,

00:25:40.180 well, it's not a problem if their companies do it. Hey, just as long as everybody's got my chips.

00:25:46.020 So he even walked it back last night. Well, I didn't really mean that. I mean, you know,

00:25:49.440 it's something else. No, dude, we get the joke of what you're doing. And right now, this whole kind

00:25:54.680 of bubble in capital markets, and I showed you the other day where they're now going to go into the,

00:25:59.540 I'll pull this up from Saturday's Financial Times of London, and I will get that maybe for the next

00:26:05.660 block or thereafter. They've said about going into debt markets, $200 billion. Now the AI companies

00:26:10.820 whose stocks are at all time high, Jensen Wang's at $5 trillion. They're now going to go $200 billion.

00:26:17.400 What are they doing? What has Dave Walsh been on here talking to you about? Data centers. Why are

00:26:23.080 electric bills going to go up? One, because all the crap from climate change and all the non-sustainable

00:26:30.960 solar power, wind power, all these fantasies are now coming home to roost. But yesterday, baby,

00:26:39.000 they went for it. The chief financial officer of OpenAI, and OpenAI is getting ready for their IPO,

00:26:46.360 initial public offering. And this thing's going to have, I don't know, a trillion or $2 trillion value

00:26:52.440 out of the gate. These guys are all become, the Frontier Lab companies, they're all the richest

00:26:59.040 guys in the world. Jensen Wang at $5 trillion market cap, richest, most powerful guy in the world.

00:27:04.120 The chief financial officer of the company, in her opening statement, says, you know,

00:27:10.640 we really need a government. What would make things easier for us is a government guarantee. Whoa,

00:27:14.900 full stop. What, baby? What did you just say? We're going to do what? Listen, this whole thing of a new

00:27:20.940 aristocracy for MAGA and all these geniuses, you know, these boy geniuses that are so brilliant,

00:27:27.240 who have really never accomplished anything in their lives. I got news for you. We need now

00:27:34.000 options packages, warrant packages for citizens of the United States. Lady, when you're talking

00:27:39.320 about a government guarantee of a couple hundred billion dollars because of the debt you got to

00:27:43.000 put up for your data centers, they're going to suck all the water out of every place in the United

00:27:46.680 States. Where's the where's the options package for the American citizens? Hey, I realize you got

00:27:52.600 many choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service, and there are new ones

00:27:56.800 popping up all the time. But here's the truth. There's only one that boldly stands in the gap

00:29:58.400 We got the man. We got Dr. Redfield.

00:30:00.740 Robert Redfield in the war room.

00:30:02.520 Thank you. I'm so honored to finally have you in here, sir.

00:30:04.980 Thanks, Aaron.

00:30:05.400 You're a great hero of ours.

00:30:08.840 Redfield's warning.

00:30:10.880 First off, and the president's going to be in the Oval Office, I think, at 11.

00:30:15.120 Obviously, we're going to cut to that, as we always do.

00:30:16.920 I think it's something about drug pricing.

00:30:18.760 Before I get to the warning, why you're a hero to so many people.

00:30:22.520 Why are you not?

00:30:23.500 And Bobby Kennedy's such a hero to so many people.

00:30:25.580 Why is it like Batman and Robin, you playing Robin.

00:30:29.700 Why are you not the wingman right now for Bobby Kennedy in the government?

00:30:35.860 You know, I'm trying to help Kennedy as much as I can.

00:30:38.500 I've said it publicly many times that I think he'll be the most consequential health secretary

00:30:42.620 a nation's ever had.

00:30:44.440 And I do spend a lot of energy trying to, you know.

00:30:49.560 Okay, stop.

00:30:50.160 Why do you say that?

00:30:51.200 You said that most of your guys have been around a long time.

00:30:54.760 You've seen them all come and go.

00:30:56.360 You've seen all the different philosophies.

00:30:58.060 Why do you think Bobby Kennedy, who has literally no background in this except a passion for studying

00:31:05.100 this and becoming, you know, we had the real Anthony Fauci, which, you know, I told you,

00:31:09.740 read like the phone book but sold like a million and a half copies.

00:31:12.320 People couldn't get enough of it.

00:31:13.500 Why is Bobby Kennedy, who's the first guy that didn't really come from this area, kind

00:31:17.920 of came as an interested, you know, the British used to say, interested amateur, why will

00:31:22.080 he be the most consequential director of HHS, cabinet secretary of HHS in the country's

00:31:27.640 history, sir?

00:31:28.460 Well, I think first and foremost because he's an open thinker.

00:31:31.300 He's willing to step back and look at the situation.

00:31:34.060 As you mentioned, he's passionate about improving health of the American public.

00:31:37.720 And he's really articulated, I think, as well as anyone, that America is an unhealthy nation.

00:31:44.640 When I worked for President Trump, you know, the reality is people ask why we lost so many

00:31:49.840 people from COVID when countries like Taiwan lost so few.

00:31:54.680 Comorbidities.

00:31:55.500 Comorbidities.

00:31:56.180 And that we're a chronically ill nation.

00:31:59.100 You know, we have probably 50%, 40%, 50% of the nation has a significant chronic disease.

00:32:04.280 You know, 20% to 30% of our youth are obese.

00:32:06.640 So Kennedy's really articulated this well.

00:32:09.740 And he started to go after some of the, you know, some of the reasons that that's happening.

00:32:14.620 When I was CDC director, I wanted to go have the cereal industry work with me.

00:32:18.680 And I wanted the beverage industry to work with me.

00:32:20.880 And I couldn't get the first base, right?

00:32:23.660 Because clearly we were pounding.

00:32:25.440 Are they driving, are the snack foods and half of what the EBIT cards go for and the sodas and everything?

00:32:32.320 Is corporate America, because you have a lot of good people working in corporate America.

00:32:36.220 A lot of good people work in Pfizer.

00:32:37.640 A lot of people coach Little League and, you know, build the churches and are kind of that civic society.

00:32:42.640 In their professional capacities, do these companies know that what they're selling is harmful to people's health?

00:32:50.540 I think so.

00:32:51.120 Well, and yet it's just, it's how they make money.

00:32:54.400 And trying to break through that, I can tell you, you know, I'm a pretty aggressive guy.

00:32:59.340 I wasn't able to accomplish that.

00:33:02.180 But Kennedy has already.

00:33:03.700 He's really gotten the corporations to sit down and talk to them about processed foods.

00:33:07.800 He's gotten to talk about dyes.

00:33:09.360 He's talking about toxins.

00:33:11.140 Do you know, Steve, we spent $10 billion last year.

00:33:15.780 So our kids in K through 12 can have sodas at the lunch program.

00:33:20.220 $10 billion.

00:33:21.720 When I went to school, I got milk.

00:33:24.460 All right.

00:33:24.880 A carton of milk, chocolate or white.

00:33:26.780 I mean, your choice.

00:33:27.860 Okay.

00:33:28.180 One carton.

00:33:29.240 So I think Kennedy's, he's willing to take it on.

00:33:32.600 And, you know, maybe it's his legal background.

00:33:35.660 I think he's been very effective in bringing people to the table.

00:33:38.760 A lot of people didn't think he would.

00:33:41.120 I think Kennedy doesn't get a fair shot with the media.

00:33:45.740 He said, you know, he said on more than one occasion, he's never had a good story written about him.

00:33:50.560 But I think his passion drives him.

00:33:52.440 Why is that?

00:33:52.900 The media is supposed to be so progressive and so empathetic.

00:33:56.200 Why on this most central issue we have, the health of the nation, why did they go after a guy like, and Bobby Kennedy's got, he's got a few warts, right?

00:34:05.700 He's just like Trump, all of us.

00:34:06.980 We're very imperfect instruments.

00:34:09.320 But why do they seem to target Bobby Kennedy time after time after time?

00:34:13.820 You know, I think, I don't know the total answer.

00:34:16.420 I asked my wife about this last night.

00:34:18.100 We were talking about it because, you know, I'm a big Kennedy fan.

00:34:21.580 And I think part of the problem is they think he's a traitor.

00:34:27.060 Being, having been a liberal and a progressive.

00:34:29.100 And now he turned over to work with Trump and help get Trump elected.

00:34:32.100 And the Maha movement is kind of hard welded to the MAGA movement.

00:34:36.700 I think so.

00:34:37.400 And I think it really helped.

00:34:38.620 I mean, Trump needed to get a, you know, suburban housewives and everything, you know, on his side.

00:34:43.860 Oh, we couldn't have won without it.

00:34:45.140 And I think.

00:34:45.620 Part of this thing you saw on Tuesday night, we kind of lost focus on the Maha part of it.

00:34:49.940 I think Kennedy's Maha movement really helped give Trump the presidency.

00:34:54.100 Okay.

00:34:54.500 And, you know, Kennedy's committed to making America healthy again.

00:34:59.540 I mean, this is not a slogan for him.

00:35:01.380 He's committed to it.

00:35:02.660 Hang on.

00:35:03.280 Hang on.

00:35:03.720 The two or three things that you think Kennedy has to do, because I talked to you beforehand and you said,

00:35:08.340 hey, listen, the reason I'm not in the government, Bobby, I think I can do more for Bobby Kennedy in the movement outside.

00:35:13.600 I have more range and flexibility.

00:35:15.560 The two or three things that you think we have to accomplish now to start to make the country healthier would be what?

00:35:23.700 First and foremost, we've got to take on obesity, which you started with the processed foods.

00:35:27.780 Do you know, if you and I, there was a study at NIH where people had the exact same caloric intake, exact same exercise.

00:35:35.180 One was processed, one was non-processed.

00:35:37.660 One's eating clean and one's eating ultra-processed foods.

00:35:39.960 And at the end of one or two months, the one that was eating processed gained 20 pounds and the one that didn't, didn't gain a pound.

00:35:45.800 People have said this over and over again.

00:35:47.260 They go to Europe and spend a week and a month in Europe and they don't gain weight.

00:35:50.920 Right?

00:35:51.220 So I do think the processed food is a big problem.

00:35:53.700 And he's taking it on.

00:35:55.160 All right?

00:35:56.240 I like the fact that he's going back and going to bring back his uncle's, you know, physical fitness ideas.

00:36:01.600 You know, get the kids back.

00:36:02.460 The JFKs, right?

00:36:03.380 Get them off the couch. 0.95

00:36:04.240 Get them off the couch. 0.95

00:36:04.780 Do a few push-ups.

00:36:05.660 Get them off the couch. 0.95

00:36:06.640 And, you know, it's tragic when you think, I was in the Army for 20-something years.

00:36:11.760 77% of young people can't pass a military medical exam.

00:36:14.740 That's unbelievable.

00:36:15.240 That's unbelievable.

00:36:15.960 Unbelievable.

00:36:16.580 Okay?

00:36:16.940 We have to change it.

00:36:17.880 Because those requirements are not that tough.

00:36:19.800 They're not tough.

00:36:20.240 They're not that tough.

00:36:20.820 They're not tough.

00:36:21.420 I mean, I passed.

00:36:22.080 They're not tough.

00:36:22.560 They're not that tough.

00:36:23.360 And I will tell you, I'm convinced Kennedy will make inroads within two years on obesity.

00:36:29.280 All right?

00:36:29.720 He's told the president he may.

00:36:31.060 I think he will.

00:36:32.120 And I think he'll get more and more Americans, particularly housewives, mothers, you know.

00:36:37.820 I have 14 grandchildren behind him because we've got to make America healthy again.

00:36:42.480 Do you know, when we look at kids now under the age of 20, that 20 to 30% of them already have type 2 diabetes.

00:36:51.160 Diabetes is a bad thing.

00:36:52.660 Yeah.

00:36:52.860 That's from laying around and eating the ultra-processed food.

00:36:55.380 Ultra-processed foods, sugar drinks, not exercising.

00:36:59.660 Drinking some of the $10 billion in soda that the taxpayers provide to kids that shouldn't be drinking sodas.

00:37:05.000 That's right.

00:37:05.860 What else?

00:37:06.260 And I think Kennedy's first.

00:37:08.120 Obesity by ultra-processed food.

00:37:10.140 I think he's going to also do something that's important to me and maybe one of the reasons I navigated to him at the beginning.

00:37:16.760 He's not afraid to tell the truth.

00:37:20.340 Right.

00:37:20.760 He's fearless.

00:37:21.700 Kennedy was a heroin addict.

00:37:24.680 For years.

00:37:26.000 He doesn't hide it.

00:37:26.900 He tells people.

00:37:28.880 My son almost died of a fentanyl overdose from contaminated cocaine.

00:37:34.560 Yeah.

00:37:34.780 Thanks be to God.

00:37:35.640 Miracle.

00:37:36.300 He's now eight years in recovery.

00:37:38.800 Azar called me the next day.

00:37:40.480 I gave a speech.

00:37:41.380 And in that speech, I mentioned that my son had almost died from fentanyl.

00:37:47.700 All right.

00:37:48.000 And I said, you know, stigma is the enemy of public health.

00:37:51.500 I'm not ashamed of my son.

00:37:53.040 All right.

00:37:53.300 I told my son when he came to me and asked for help, and he was ashamed and cried.

00:37:57.080 I said, don't be ashamed of yourself.

00:37:58.360 You're created by God.

00:37:59.420 You have a medical problem.

00:38:01.220 Hang on.

00:38:02.000 Stigma is the enemy of public health.

00:38:04.240 What does that mean?

00:38:06.060 Well, stigmatized as obese.

00:38:07.800 You're stigmatized as obese.

00:38:09.000 It started for me for HIV, but then it was obesity or in this case, you're a drug addict.

00:38:15.480 I hate the word addict.

00:38:16.780 No, you have drug use disorder.

00:38:18.280 It's a medical problem.

00:38:19.540 Yeah.

00:38:19.780 And I told my son, he was in tears.

00:38:21.580 I said, we're going to take care of it.

00:38:23.500 And thanks be to God.

00:38:24.460 God graced him to accept to go into a treatment program, which he did 14 months.

00:38:29.600 And he's now eight, nine years in recovery.

00:38:32.080 Okay.

00:38:32.640 Kennedy's not afraid of it.

00:38:34.360 All right.

00:38:34.720 So I think he also will take on the challenges that we're having with drug use disorder, which

00:38:41.840 are huge.

00:38:42.460 Right.

00:38:42.660 When I was in Baltimore, my son needed treatment.

00:38:45.480 There was no, but we had four Catholic hospitals.

00:38:48.620 None of them had programs for drug use disorder.

00:38:51.500 And I'm going to say, I said, Archbishop Laurie, I said, listen, I said, I think every family

00:38:56.180 in the archdiocese has somebody struggling with drug use disorder, whether it's, whether

00:39:01.140 it's alcohol or whether it's drugs, we need, we need to be more aggressive.

00:39:05.380 And Kennedy's going to be aggressive.

00:39:06.880 We're building some good programs for drug use disorder.

00:39:09.360 And coupled with that, most of these kids with drug use disorder, they're there because

00:39:13.080 they're self-medicating for mental health issues that aren't being treated.

00:39:16.040 Right.

00:39:16.540 Okay.

00:39:17.580 That's the underlying scourge.

00:39:19.080 That's the underlying scourge.

00:39:20.420 And, and, and, you know, I say it, I said it about his uncle, you know, his uncle,

00:39:26.180 I used to do this when I was trying to bring an end to the AIDS epidemic with Trump.

00:39:29.640 I, I, I said, you know, Kennedy's advantage was he saw the possible and then led a nation

00:39:35.680 to act about the man on the moon.

00:39:38.660 Jack, Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy.

00:39:40.380 Bobby Kennedy sees the possible.

00:39:42.540 America can be a healthy nation.

00:39:44.860 Yes.

00:39:45.260 And part of that has to be a healthy nation.

00:39:47.200 And part of that is we have to shift our disease system, which I've been part of for

00:39:52.660 over 20 years, and we need to create a health system.

00:39:56.220 And I think that's what he's on a path to do.

00:39:58.920 I mean, I think he's got some good people working with him with Oz and Bhattacharya.

00:40:02.620 Big time.

00:40:03.100 And, and, and, and, and, and, and McCary.

00:40:05.780 And when you said, you know, the truth is, he's had a problem at CDC.

00:40:09.560 He's had a problem at CDC.

00:40:10.400 So why do we not have Red, Redfield in there banging heads, sir?

00:40:14.900 Yeah.

00:40:15.400 You're the perfect candidate.

00:40:16.600 I'm going to get on you.

00:40:17.580 And I, I got a couple minutes here.

00:40:19.500 Go back and tell the audience a story about HIV and about what you try to do on HIV and,

00:40:24.580 and, and, and the, and the, and the, the horrible experience.

00:40:28.980 Well, you know, the, the HIV is a good example of some of the same challenges that we have

00:40:32.420 with COVID because the first problem with HIV was that they never allowed public debate.

00:40:38.100 I mean, I was the first, when I was at Walter Reed in 1983, 81, 82, 83.

00:40:42.820 That's the U.S., the old U.S. Army hospital.

00:40:44.900 That's right.

00:40:45.140 It doesn't exist anymore.

00:40:46.140 That's right.

00:40:46.380 When I was there, okay, I started seeing people with AIDS.

00:40:50.600 The illness I saw was very different.

00:40:52.800 30% of my patients in 1983 were women.

00:40:57.200 30%.

00:40:57.920 50% of my patients were married and had spouses.

00:41:02.240 It was very different.

00:41:03.900 Some of them.

00:41:04.180 This was Army personnel.

00:41:05.300 Army personnel.

00:41:06.320 So it wasn't.

00:41:06.840 Had they contracted this overseas?

00:41:09.180 Had that, you're saying it was heterosexual at the time?

00:41:10.860 No, some of it was.

00:41:11.740 I'd say, and people criticized me, said, oh, they're all liars.

00:41:13.980 No, of the women that I had, I'd say 75, 80% of them were heterosexually acquired.

00:41:19.480 Maybe 20% were drug use or acquired.

00:41:22.980 Heterosexually acquired, though, from guys that either were bisexual or gay and just. 0.78

00:41:27.640 That's right.

00:41:27.980 I think the bisexual man played a big role here.

00:41:29.840 Right.

00:41:30.120 Okay.

00:41:30.700 And then of my men, I had, and this is about two-thirds of them were bisexual.

00:41:37.580 Homosexual, the homosexuals in the military were a little different than the homosexuals 0.99

00:41:43.240 outside the military.

00:41:43.900 Well, back then, that was the way they could get a security clearance.

00:41:46.840 Some of the guys were, you know, had sex with men maybe a couple times a year.

00:41:51.000 That wasn't their dominant sexual partner.

00:41:52.820 It was a woman. 0.60

00:41:53.580 So about half of them were like that.

00:41:56.060 Half of them were homosexual men.

00:41:58.100 But about a third of them weren't homosexual men.

00:42:00.780 They slept with a lot of women. 1.00

00:42:02.080 And I had worked up prostitute populations around the world and showed that these prostitutes 1.00

00:42:07.320 were infected.

00:42:08.000 Nobody wanted to believe it.

00:42:09.060 The commissioner of health in New York took me on and he said, you know, Redfield's data

00:42:12.820 is all false, that we have no heterosexual transmission in the state of New York.

00:42:17.400 We've tested all of the prostitutes and they're all the IV drug addicts. 1.00

00:42:21.360 I asked him in front of 10,000 people, I said, commissioner, how many women that weren't

00:42:27.240 IV drug addicts did you test for AIDS?

00:42:29.420 You know what he said in front of everybody?

00:42:30.680 I didn't test anybody because we know women who don't use drugs can't have AIDS.

00:42:35.580 And I said, go back and test your prostitutes that use cocaine nasally and don't inject. 0.98

00:42:40.560 And you'll find out.

00:42:41.540 And he did.

00:42:42.080 And he went back and saw two thirds of them were HIV infected.

00:42:44.520 So there was just no debate and there was no denial.

00:42:47.020 Hey, Aaron, we've had the same problem now.

00:42:50.760 Dr. Robert Redfield, U.S. Army, in the house.

00:42:54.540 We rejoice when there's no more.

00:42:56.460 Let's take down the CCP.

00:42:58.360 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:43:06.260 Steve Bannon here.

00:43:07.280 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:44:18.100 Not in Kenny?

00:44:19.440 Hang on, hang on, don't.

00:44:20.800 This is Inside Baseball.

00:44:22.060 We're not going to cut the mic.

00:44:24.420 Why is Kennedy, one more time, why is Kennedy going to be the most consequential?

00:44:29.160 Because he's fearless?

00:44:30.460 He's a tough Irish Catholic, dude.

00:44:32.400 He's passionate, and the most important thing when you want to accomplish a mission, you

00:44:35.920 have to believe it's possible.

00:44:37.240 Is Redfield English or German?

00:44:38.960 It's actually English, my family's from England.

00:44:41.860 We're our descendants of the Mayflower.

00:44:44.380 We came over on the second boat and then married somebody from the first boat.

00:44:48.560 They were all Puritans. 0.97

00:44:50.300 But you're Catholic, though, right?

00:44:52.420 I'm Catholic.

00:44:52.860 My mother comes from Yugoslavia, Slovenia.

00:44:56.360 God bless her. 1.00

00:44:56.960 And they were both diehard Catholics.

00:45:01.300 HIV.

00:45:02.400 How did you get this death since everybody was against you?

00:45:05.560 And I thought, actually, I had it confused.

00:45:08.000 I thought that they were trying to suppress the fact that it was only transmitted by gay.

00:45:13.580 So if you had any evidence at all that it was heterosexual, they wanted it out there. 1.00

00:45:17.600 Because remember, the first, I think in the early 80s, when this first started coming on the radar.

00:45:22.420 And I remember, for me, it was in New York City that one of the guys in the word processing department, who was, because that days in the word processing, particularly investment banking, he went all night long.

00:45:34.900 So he had shifts.

00:45:35.520 This guy was a theater guy during the day.

00:45:38.500 And when he couldn't get gigs, he'd work as an amazing word processor at night.

00:45:42.920 Everybody noticed he started getting very sick and very thin.

00:45:45.500 And next thing you know, he's dead.

00:45:46.720 And they said it was because this new disease was coming.

00:45:49.480 Back then, everybody said it was, the panic was that it was transmitted with heterosexuals.

00:45:56.940 And then you found out later, it maybe wasn't.

00:45:59.320 Why did they try to suppress you?

00:46:01.740 A couple things.

00:46:02.560 First, I've always said, if you look globally, heterosexual transmission is a major mode of transmission. 0.70

00:46:06.960 In the United States, it was first recognized in gay men.

00:46:10.040 But it really was a sexually transmitted disease.

00:46:12.060 And it never made sense to me.

00:46:13.660 Because I was the first person to show that it wasn't just gay.

00:46:16.700 It was sexual.

00:46:17.920 And yet the gay community really came at me hard. 1.00

00:46:20.660 And one of the reasons it came at me hard is because I took the first principles of medicine.

00:46:26.040 And I said, we have to diagnose this disease.

00:46:30.420 So I promoted early diagnosis.

00:46:32.940 And people didn't want diagnosis.

00:46:34.820 You probably know in New York, they made it illegal for a doctor to write an HIV diagnosis in a medical record.

00:46:41.080 In a medical record.

00:46:43.120 All right.

00:46:43.460 So I fought that.

00:46:45.420 And, of course, I was in the military.

00:46:47.020 And I was able to convince the Secretary of Defense that this was a very important, relevant military problem.

00:46:54.800 Because in Korea, we had 30 cases per 100 soldiers of gonorrhea.

00:46:59.460 So for us to think we were going to be skipping a sexually transmitted disease.

00:47:04.000 Soldiers are going to be soldiers.

00:47:05.380 That's right.

00:47:05.940 And so they knew.

00:47:07.140 They knew.

00:47:07.800 I said, the difference now with gonorrhea is now we have a deadly sexually transmitted disease.

00:47:13.200 And so the military took it seriously.

00:47:15.280 And we decided to put the principles of medicine on the table.

00:47:18.620 And one of them was early diagnosis.

00:47:21.080 And so I started those programs.

00:47:23.000 And, as you know, the military then screened everybody.

00:47:25.720 And we diagnosed everybody.

00:47:27.560 We treated everybody that was infected properly.

00:47:30.860 But the media immediately said that we were trying to, you know, when I was up for CDC director, they tried to kick me.

00:47:36.800 They said I recommended putting people in leprosy camps and all this stuff.

00:47:41.120 It was all lies.

00:47:42.500 You know, I recommended treating people to the best of our ability based on the knowledge that we had.

00:47:47.260 And it was unfortunate that, you know, I made my reputation by nothing that insightful.

00:47:53.720 I just said we ought to diagnose.

00:47:54.920 When I said that at the first international AIDS conference in Atlanta that we should diagnose the disease, I was booed off the stage.

00:48:01.980 Wow.

00:48:02.800 Booed.

00:48:03.600 And then I presented my data at another paper and showed that about 92% of people that had HIV infection, if you followed them for 18 months or more, got sicker.

00:48:13.160 CDC was saying 5% got sick.

00:48:15.320 I was saying, no, it looks like it's going to be over 90% are going to get sick.

00:48:19.180 Guess what happened?

00:48:20.200 I got booed off the stage.

00:48:22.140 And then when I presented the data showing husbands and wives infecting each other that it could be sexually transmitted, guess what happened?

00:48:28.840 My third paper.

00:48:30.100 I got booed off the stage.

00:48:31.620 It's very, you're very consistent.

00:48:34.380 We're going to go to, President's going to come in.

00:48:35.960 I think he's going to be running late.

00:48:37.180 One thing I want to get to, you've got, one is what happened during the pandemic, right?

00:48:42.320 Which is amazing.

00:48:43.620 And I want to get that.

00:48:44.560 You've also got a warning.

00:48:46.600 And let's hit the warning.

00:48:47.600 Because when a guy like you, who's kind of a no BS guy and don't mind getting booed off the stage, if you're putting the truth out there, they boo you all they want.

00:48:57.440 You don't care.

00:48:58.000 You're going to come back two weeks later with more data if you get booed off.

00:49:01.280 What is the, the warning is pretty shocking.

00:49:04.200 By the way, the book, Redfield's Warning, Dr. Redfield gives it to you straight with the bark on, right?

00:49:11.380 It's unvarnished.

00:49:12.260 What is your warning to us right now?

00:49:15.140 So, Steve, the real important thing here and the real reason I wrote the book is I want people to realize that biosecurity is one of the most critical national security threats that we have in this nation.

00:49:27.760 I've even said it's more relevant than China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

00:49:32.340 And if you think about how COVID-19 changed life in America.

00:49:36.820 COVID-19 was a bioweapon?

00:49:39.100 It was created by gain-of-function research in the lab.

00:49:42.360 I think they were developing it actually as a biodefense weapon because they were trying to develop what I call a vector for a vaccine.

00:49:51.140 And they created this.

00:49:52.140 But, by the way, to do that, to then have, then weaponize it.

00:49:55.160 So they had defense against it.

00:49:56.500 So they could weaponize it and, and, and.

00:49:58.620 They could.

00:49:59.080 I have no data that it was a weapon.

00:50:00.540 But I really do think they were working.

00:50:02.380 The military was trying to create this virus so that it could infect humans, so that it could be used to carry packages into the human body.

00:50:11.460 But the gain-of-function, what, what the guy in North Korea, was it Barclay, what he was, Barrack, what Barrack was doing at UNC, what they were doing at University of Maryland, we banned gain-of-function here because it was too, too loosey-goosey.

00:50:22.880 It was Tony Fauci when the time that the first HHS director, President Trump, got terminated, the guy from Georgia that I think was a congressman, a doctor, when he got terminated.

00:50:33.500 And that gap, that 60, yeah, price, when that 60- or 90-day gap, Tony Fauci slipped over to the, the, the EOB, part of the national security, and got it slipped in there that you could start doing gain-of-function.

00:50:46.280 Yeah, he, he and Collins could pass an exemption to any procedure to do it.

00:50:51.020 And it got slipped in.

00:50:51.980 If you talk to people now that were in the White House, nobody remembers that this really happened, but it really happened.

00:50:56.760 It definitely happened.

00:50:57.540 Yeah.

00:50:57.960 And so.

00:50:58.540 We can, we can prove that later that he slipped in.

00:50:59.960 Hang on, we're going to take a short break.

00:51:01.040 Hang on, you're going to stick with us.

00:51:02.100 A president's going to be in the Oval, but Dr. Redfield's going to be here.

00:51:05.920 Dr. Redfield may already have the inside baseball of what's going to happen, but stick around.

00:51:10.260 Birch Gold, the world is a turbulent place with this AI. 0.63

00:51:15.840 Is it a bubble?

00:51:17.080 I'll be breaking that down over the next couple of days, but let me just say this.

00:51:21.120 When the chief financial officer, OpenAI, comes out yesterday and her opening statement is, hey, you know, I think we need a government guarantee on this debt.

00:51:29.000 I would take that as a warning sign, right?

00:51:33.320 They're a little jiggy.

00:51:35.040 They want a backup to pay it off, and that would be you.

00:51:38.100 That means somebody there thinks maybe we're in a bubble.

00:51:41.080 I don't know.

00:51:41.880 Not a thing I'd have a CFO say.

00:51:43.620 But, hey, I'm just some schmendrick with a show here in the basement of the Breitbart Embassy.
