Bannon's War Room - Episode 5316： Arctic Frost And Getting To The Bottom Of 2020 Election

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 You've just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.660 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.400 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.800 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vannis.

00:00:52.520 It's Tuesday, 21 April, Year of Our Lord, 2026.

00:00:55.000 2026. Joe Allen's in the room with him, but we're going to go now live to Jeff Clark giving his

00:01:00.720 opening statement at Arctic Frost. Let's go.

00:01:05.760 Issuing nearly 200 subpoenas, seizing communications at the highest levels of the government,

00:01:12.200 pointing a criminal case dagger at President Trump that was all designed to destroy the

00:01:17.100 populist Republican Party. I was in its crosshairs. Let me be clear. This testimony is not about my

00:01:23.740 support for Republicans. It is about whether the machinery of government was used in a way that

00:01:28.580 would alarm every American, regardless of party. And it was. First, what was Arctic Frost? It was

00:01:34.800 an investigation launched in 2022 under circumstances that flatly violated FBI

00:01:40.100 protocol and all ethical standards, allowing a politically biased agent to open his own case.

00:01:46.740 That's not adequate predication. From there, it expanded dramatically, reaching into six states

00:01:52.260 targeting roughly 420 individuals and entities, even sweeping in the phone records of sitting

00:01:58.700 United States senators. This was not a narrow law enforcement operation to keep Americans safe.

00:02:04.320 It was a political dragnet. Second, my experience. I expressed internal views within the Department

00:02:11.500 of Justice about the 2020 election through proper channels, in privileged settings, as part of my

00:02:17.440 official duties as a lawyer and consistent with my Rule 2.1 obligations in D.C. For that, I became

00:02:24.280 subject of biased New York Times leaks, overlapping investigations, an Inspector General probe

00:02:30.800 later merged into Arctic Frost, a bar referral, a congressional investigation, a federal investigation,

00:02:36.760 and a failed state prosecution. These were not isolated. They overlapped, they reinforced one

00:02:41.880 another, and they imposed immense personal and professional costs. At one point, my home was

00:02:47.380 raided. My family's devices were seized. My daughter, who was 12 years old at the time,

00:02:53.220 12 years old, came to me nearly in tears after she learned about the raid and said that her

00:02:59.700 personal diary, was that read by the agent's dad? You don't want to have to explain that to your

00:03:04.720 12-year-old. I received death threats. One caught from a caller claiming to be from New Jersey

00:03:11.160 invited me to go to the Pine Barrens, where he said he would dismember me and then send the

00:03:17.300 pieces in buckets to my fatherless family. We reported this to the FBI, and we never heard back.

00:03:24.340 That is the insane hyper-partisan atmosphere that Arctic Frost stoked. Third, the pattern,

00:03:31.360 the same conduct. All internal privileged DOJ communications, in my case, were simultaneously

00:03:37.980 probed by multiple bodies. On five fronts, the same facts, the same target, all me, all designed

00:03:44.820 to impose tectonic pressure that would try to make me say something and lie about President Trump,

00:03:50.740 which I refused to do. I stood strong. Documents already in the public record and that I've

00:03:56.280 attached to my more extensive written testimony show direct coordination such as information

00:04:01.440 sharing, multi-state meetings with state prosecutors, overlapping witnesses, clever attempted evasions

00:04:08.880 of important legal privileges, and miraculous purported coincidences like the Office of

00:04:15.120 Inspector General and the FBI raiding my house one day, June 22nd, and then the very next day,

00:04:20.540 magically, the January 6th committee had a hearing targeted at me. I wonder how that happened.

00:04:26.700 Fourth, the implications of the fruit plucked from this poisonous tree from FBI agent Tebow.

00:04:33.700 If an investigation is launched improperly, then what follows is tainted.

00:04:38.640 If internal watchdog materials are merged into criminal probes, as happened here with the OIG investigation that morphed into Arctic Frost,

00:04:48.420 you've violated what the inspector general's office is designed to do.

00:04:52.340 and now it's conflicted, and now it cannot look at DOJ's own conduct in that investigation.

00:04:59.180 Fifth, the broader context. Arctic frost did not occur in isolation. It fits within a pattern of

00:05:05.200 Biden auto pen wielders suspending investigative, I'm sorry, expanding investigative powers

00:05:10.980 against political opponents using lower thresholds, broader definitions of threat,

00:05:16.540 and increasing coordination across institutions. Even the religious rights of Americans were no

00:05:23.640 barrier to the Biden, DOJ, and FBI. They weaponized against Catholic Latin mass goers, 0.85

00:05:29.580 calling them potential violent extremists. They weaponized against conscientious abortion

00:05:35.240 protesters who were pro-life. It didn't matter to them. The leftist orthodoxy had to be kowtowed to.

00:05:40.880 this committee has to ask the question where are the limits and what should

00:05:46.980 they be and I think you need to expose on the record all of the Arctic frost

00:05:52.220 documents as Senator Grassley has been doing as chair Grassley has been doing

00:05:56.480 so that the American people understand the multi-state you know multi-agency

00:06:02.960 all of government as chair Schmidt indicated that was weaponized against

00:06:08.120 President Biden and any of his allies

00:06:10.880 Thank you. Thank you, the witnesses. I'll start off. Mr. Clark, I want to ask you, you've referenced you being targeted, not just by Arctic Frost, but in Fulton County, multiple proceedings.

00:06:25.720 In that proceeding in Fulton County specifically, you and your lawyers sought documents,

00:06:31.620 communications, including Nathan Wade's billing entries for his conference with White House

00:06:36.220 counsel, interview with D.C. White House, but Judge McAfee placed certain materials

00:06:41.680 reviewed and camera under seal.

00:06:44.160 Why are those, because you explained to the committee, why are those sealed communications

00:06:48.180 so important?

00:06:50.000 Well, thank you for that question.

00:06:52.340 look, we don't know what's in the communications until we see them.

00:06:55.700 You know, we obviously called for them.

00:06:57.240 We think we have a right to show them.

00:06:59.060 And we think part of the correspondence showed that the Justice Department did not give what's called TUI authorizations to Fannie Willis

00:07:08.120 so that she could put witnesses from the Justice Department in front of the grand jury.

00:07:13.220 And we posed the obvious question of if she can't produce any witnesses from the Justice Department against me,

00:07:19.380 then how could she possibly proceed with her case?

00:07:22.420 We think the judge erred in not recognizing that that was a serious Brady issue,

00:07:27.460 but he decided after he looked at the documents to put them under seal.

00:07:31.960 I think this body and I think the Justice Department could get access to those materials.

00:07:38.620 And kind of zooming out then beyond just what you endured through all of this,

00:07:45.180 you've described Arctic Frost as part of a coordinated effort not just to simply

00:07:50.220 punish individuals but destroy the infrastructure around President Trump

00:07:55.020 and a movement really. Explain what that what you mean by that.

00:07:59.580 Sure, maybe it's easiest actually to start with the weaponization of the bar

00:08:04.660 complaint process which some call part of lawfare, others call barfare now. The

00:08:10.420 65 project was created by David Brock who is a super leftist Democrat activist

00:08:17.040 and he specifically admitted in a scoop story he gave to Axios with Jonathan

00:08:22.100 Swan who's now at the New York Times that his whole purpose was to make

00:08:25.960 conservative lawyers lawyers adjacent or who represented President Trump toxic in

00:08:31.180 their legal communities so that they could not get jobs and so that their

00:08:35.740 reputations would be destroyed so that no one else would represent the

00:08:39.100 conservative movement. That's a complete act of destruction aimed at our

00:08:43.960 adversary system. We can't have a system in which only one party can have election

00:08:48.580 lawyers. David Boyes and Professor Lawrence Tribe and Bush v. Gore in 2000,

00:08:53.560 they faced no ethical consequences, but somehow if you're a Republican lawyer,

00:08:58.120 if you're a John Eastman or Rudy Giuliani or you're a me, you are treated to an

00:09:03.720 entirely different standard and it's designed to try to shame um dr epstein i want to ask you um

00:09:12.920 you've reviewed the documents and and this is just a myriad this is a web

00:09:16.840 right you've got doj you've got doj i or oig nara jack smith the biden white house fulton county

00:09:25.560 manhattan you've got all these actors um does this look like some isolated law enforcement

00:09:32.440 effort? Does this look like a coordinated attempt to take down a chief political rival and anybody

00:09:36.980 that had any support for him? No, I think you're absolutely right. This was clearly not something

00:09:44.080 where the starting philosophy was, let's go through a very orderly process. I mean, the fact

00:09:52.520 that the National Archives was consulting with the White House Counsel's Office on how to get

00:09:57.520 documents to the FBI and debating whether they should go through the clear path of communicating

00:10:05.780 with the president's counsel and getting consent or to concoct statutes in a way that allowed them

00:10:11.740 to not do that. The fact that you had coordination between Bragg's office and the Department of

00:10:17.400 Justice, which when the House of Representatives asked that question to the attorney general,

00:10:22.620 he denied it, but the existence of responsive records clearly indicates that there were

00:10:28.540 communications. I think this raises the significant risk that this was not a sober investigative

00:10:35.200 process. It was very much tainted by political interests. And you also raised the possibility

00:10:41.060 that this just wasn't a bad judgment or even just political bias, but that this was potentially

00:10:47.380 unlawful conduct, correct? Yeah. Could a conspiracy against rights be one of those

00:10:51.680 kind of charges under federal law that can be brought under section 241 absolutely and um you

00:10:57.620 know i think uh this committee has done very good work on investigating that i think as you pointed

00:11:03.360 out the process is the punishment and when you have um very aggressive bureaucrats who want to

00:11:10.140 coordinate with uh prosecutors in a way that uh doesn't follow the process doesn't follow

00:11:16.900 fair procedures that raises the significant risk of conspiracy against

00:11:21.320 rights. Senator Walsh. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Professor Epstein, who won the

00:11:28.400 2020 election? That's a political question. Obviously, in the

00:11:35.820 Constitution, the determination of who won is delegated to the electors and is a

00:11:43.440 vote in the House. I would also point out that throughout American history, there have been

00:11:47.940 contestations of who've won. I'm asking specifically who won the 2020 election, and I'm taking your

00:11:57.120 non-answer to be consistent with everyone else who came in. I'm not a pollster, but I will tell

00:12:05.640 this that I'm not asking you about a pollster I'm asking who won the election Biden was elected

00:12:14.220 president okay did he win he won under the constitutional mechanisms we have to determine

00:12:23.000 who's the president was there a violent attack by people who did not believe that he won the

00:12:29.340 election and it was stolen on the Capitol on January 6th I think that's in the record

00:12:33.500 i'm i'm asking you for a yes or no on that based off the publicly available evidence that appears

00:12:40.640 to be what occurred appears to be did you ever see any i was not there did you just watch any tv

00:12:46.840 if mobs climbing the capitol i read papers i didn't watch okay all right actually don't own

00:12:53.640 well i i admire your skepticism uh mr clark who won the 2020 election

00:12:59.320 Joe Biden received the necessary number of electoral college votes, and then in joint session, Congress certified those results.

00:13:08.660 All right. So you were promoting efforts to raise questions about the electors in states,

00:13:18.720 despite the fact that Attorney General Barr said there was no evidence to indicate

00:13:23.760 fraud on any level that would come close to resulting in a reversal of the election. Is that

00:13:31.020 correct? Senator Welch, with all due respect, lawyers disagree with each other. That may be

00:13:37.400 news to you, but we frequently do. I understand, and you disagree with Attorney General Barr.

00:13:43.740 Yes, and Attorney General Barr actually supported me in my Barr proceeding, so he can disagree with

00:13:49.300 me about one issue and agree with me about others. Let's stay on the question asked. I'm glad you're

00:13:54.140 good friends with Attorney General Barr. You said you followed procedures at the Justice Department.

00:14:00.840 Attorney General Rosen, enacting Deputy AG, said that you contacted the President

00:14:06.420 without informing them that you were going to do that?

00:14:11.440 The president contacted me.

00:14:13.520 And under Article 2, which is the ultimate procedure, Senator,

00:14:17.940 the president could contact any member of the executive branch.

00:14:20.760 And you did not report that to your superiors.

00:14:22.980 I did speak to Jeff Rosen about that on the Saturday after it happened.

00:14:26.800 And the president, as you know, was fishing around for somebody

00:14:29.840 who would be willing to take his bogus case, and you did.

00:14:33.480 So thank you for that.

00:14:34.200 The case was not bogus.

00:14:35.320 you disagree with attorney general barr yes all right the uh claim here mr schwager is that this

00:14:45.780 is a bogus by the way were crimes committed on january 6 by the mob who attacked the capitol

00:14:51.400 there were crimes that were committed by some members of the people who protested that day

00:14:56.700 yes do you believe that the that it was a crime for uh people uh to attack officers and hit them

00:15:03.260 with, hit them, pulled their helmets off, to attack them with sticks and mace and bear spray?

00:15:13.000 Police officers should not be assaulted. That is criminal. I would say that I don't believe

00:15:17.980 that anyone in D.C. with a 94% jury pool got a fair trial. And that's why President Trump

00:15:25.180 rightly pardoned them. 94%? Yes. Are you saying the people of D.C. have no capacity 0.56

00:15:32.220 to make a determination based on the evidence about criminal conduct that may have been committed?

00:15:37.360 I think they can when we're not talking about something that's politically hypercharged

00:15:42.120 and something that the media tries to drum in as a narrative.

00:15:44.880 But when politics are at stake, I don't think so.

00:15:48.480 What are you thinking about the attacks on these officers who were standing between the mob and Nancy Pelosi or Vice President Pence and stood their ground and did their job and there was evidence that was presented in court and people who committed those crimes were convicted?

00:16:14.800 And you're saying they were rightly pardoned because it was a bogus trial?

00:16:20.020 If you don't get due process, that is one of the mechanisms in the Constitution to ensure that people get justice, Senator.

00:16:27.880 Mr. Schwager, just the premise here is that it was a bogus investigation.

00:16:35.320 and all of the things that are part of a normal investigation,

00:16:40.780 subpoenas, making links, having a wide investigatory outreach,

00:16:47.920 is there anything different about this investigation

00:16:52.040 and what would be a thorough investigation of any other crime

00:16:55.740 once there is a predicate for pursuing an investigation?

00:17:00.340 Well, I think the alleged crime is historic in nature.

00:17:03.540 However, the tools used in the investigation are common to complex matters.

00:17:10.000 Thank you. I yield back.

00:17:12.040 I noticed he did not opine about the novel legal theory.

00:17:14.940 Senator Blackburn.

00:17:16.420 Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and welcome to the three of you.

00:17:20.220 We appreciate that you all are here.

00:17:23.200 You know, Mr. Chairman, at our last Arctic Frost hearing,

00:17:26.920 the Democrats on the committee brought forward a witness that said he was perfectly fine with the

00:17:35.440 weaponization that took place in Arctic Frost and through Jack Smith. In fact, he claimed that

00:17:43.280 politics did not exist under the Biden FBI. His term was that politics were absent there.

00:17:54.040 And as I noted at that time, and I'll say again this morning, that was a laughable claim.

00:18:02.160 Everyone knows that Jack Smith leveraged the FBI and the DOJ to go on a years-long crusade

00:18:11.120 against President Trump, members of Congress, and hundreds of conservative organizations

00:18:18.380 and individuals.

00:18:20.280 And I include Mr. Epstein and Mr. Clark in this group that was targeted, as so was I, and some of our colleagues.

00:18:32.520 So, Mr. Clark and Mr. Epstein, I'll start with Mr. Epstein.

00:18:39.440 I want to hear from each of you on this, as you were impacted by Arctic frost.

00:18:46.900 And do you think that politics was absent from the Biden, FBI, or was politics practiced?

00:18:57.480 Mr. Epstein, first.

00:19:01.020 There's no question that politics was very much involved there.

00:19:06.780 And I could speak to my own organization, America First Legal.

00:19:10.260 We didn't even exist on January 6th, and our records were subpoenaed.

00:19:16.900 Mr. Clark? It was absolutely political, Senator Blackburn. I would start with the fact that the

00:19:24.360 agent who opened his own case in violation of FBI protocol, Tim Tebow, was actually effectively

00:19:31.320 disciplined by the special counsel for violating the Hatch Act, which is an indication of the fact

00:19:37.500 that he was getting into political matters. Also, the entire name of the operation, Arctic Frost,

00:19:43.440 indicates that it was political. Why? And it was changed to that name? Because it's a type of

00:19:48.680 orange. If the people who were running this investigation, so-called, were not political,

00:19:56.120 if they were more brazen, they would have called it Orange Man Bad. It's right in the name of

00:20:02.540 Arctic Frost. It's an indication of the fact that it was a politicized effort to destroy President

00:20:07.840 Trump. Mr. Epstein, I want to talk about a component of Arctic Frost, which I think has

00:20:16.100 kind of gotten lost. And that is the fact that this case ultimately came about because of an

00:20:24.280 unlawfully appointed special counsel. Specifically, we know Jack Smith was not appointed pursuant to

00:20:32.680 any explicit statutory authority as ken star john durham and other special counsels were

00:20:41.720 appointed in fact kind of the chairman um the chairman we'll get back to that um more jeff

00:20:48.800 clark um jeff clark just dropped a bombshell right there it's named after an orange orange

00:20:55.620 man bad only jeff clark that's why he's the best um we get so much going first off new

00:21:02.620 York Times are reporting that the Iranians have not committed to go to Islamabad. I'm just giving

00:21:09.540 you the facts, folks. Now, maybe they've got a secret delegation that's heading there. Maybe

00:21:14.240 they've got, because a lot of this is classified, you're not going, but we haven't gotten an alert

00:21:21.300 on any movement of the VP. Maybe Jared and Whitcoff are already there. Who knows? I think

00:21:28.620 part of this should be done in secret. Maybe this negotiation, maybe that'll move the ball

00:21:32.320 forward. But President Trump has got this saying, as I've told you many times, no games.

00:21:38.500 And I think we're into the phase of the Iranians trying to play games. Now, my understanding, 1.00

00:21:45.500 and this just came out moments ago, about the situation in Tehran or Islamabad, so they haven't

00:21:55.160 left yet. And it's Tuesday night there. The ceasefire ends tomorrow. So we're going to cover this

00:21:59.260 nonstop. Thank you for joining me. You've been on a roll, on a tear. This artificial intelligence

00:22:06.980 is getting more and more dangerous and more and more, I think, a concern to greater people,

00:22:12.660 the data center. In fact, I want to play something while we got time for this block.

00:22:17.060 A young man stood up at a, and this is why citizens are leading this, just like the citizens,

00:22:23.500 the grassroots are leading this fight in Virginia because the establishment just gets too tough,

00:22:28.080 a heavy lift for them. Citizens throughout the country are standing up to these data centers in

00:22:34.000 an extraordinary way. And a lot of times, like you saw in Fort Meade, Florida, the corporate

00:22:39.780 interest just steamrolled. You have 500 people show up. Everybody's yelling at the microphone,

00:22:44.680 you can't do this. You're going to destroy our community, destroy everything. And oh,

00:22:48.720 and then the commissioners vote 6-0 because they're in the pocket of these companies that

00:22:53.380 have trillions of dollars to spend on this. It's pretty obvious. Let me play this. I want your

00:22:56.780 observations this I think belief comes from Ohio and it's a town commissioner's meeting and this

00:23:03.320 is an American citizen just an everyday person that stands up and gives them the old what for

00:23:09.120 let's hear it yes so Mr. Hollingsworth I know that you had your hand up to talk

00:23:14.320 hello my name is Will Hollingsworth I work at Reed Memorial Library and thank you all for hearing

00:23:23.400 me today. I'm not a cynic when it comes to technology. My love for it started when my

00:23:28.720 uncle first sat me down at a beige Windows 95 computer and began teaching me HTML. I will never

00:23:33.620 forget the first thing I googled. It was an image search for pigs flying. I wanted to see if the

00:23:38.000 internet could make the impossible real. This love of the digital shaped my career as I went on to

00:23:42.700 become a programmer and a professional content creator. For the last decade and a half, I have

00:23:46.820 been in service of learning burgeoning technology. In my last job, I was the digital artist they

00:23:51.100 trusted to do that kind of work. I was the one feeding mid-journey prompts to create the perfect

00:23:55.420 commercial, training the very machine that would eventually replace me, as three months later they

00:23:59.620 would lay me off. I didn't just watch it happen, I was holding the tools when the tools were turned

00:24:04.500 on me. I want to stress I don't stand here as an enemy of progress. The thing is, when I look at

00:24:10.140 the data center proposal, I don't see progress. I see a gamble where the big tech companies get the

00:24:15.280 gold while Portage County foots the bill. Now I know there are good faith arguments for this

00:24:20.120 project. There are people in our community, informed, honest people, who will tell you that

00:24:24.080 the modern data centers use what's called a closed-loop system. They say the water is filled

00:24:28.200 once and recycled forever. In a laboratory, that might be true, but we aren't living in a laboratory.

00:24:33.660 We're living in Ohio. I can tell you that as the chips get smaller and AI demands get larger,

00:24:39.120 the heat these machines generate is outstripping the closed-loop theory. To keep the servers from

00:24:44.260 melting, a data center has to bleed the lines to remove toxic sludge, aka forever chemicals,

00:24:49.260 and bleeding water needs to be evaporated.

00:24:51.940 It does not stay in the loop.

00:24:53.980 It evaporates into the sky by millions of gallons.

00:24:57.260 The very place that laid me off was an organic mattress company.

00:25:00.900 And while working for them, I actually learned a lot about Forever Chemicals.

00:25:04.080 I got to see how the sausage gets made.

00:25:06.420 I saw the inside of those so-called regulations.

00:25:09.260 I saw how rigorous studies are often self-funded,

00:25:11.680 a pay-to-play model where if you've got the cash, they'll give you the certificate.

00:25:14.960 it. If a trillion dollar company is funding the study that says their

00:25:18.440 forever chemical learn-off won't hit our water table, they aren't giving us the

00:25:21.920 science, they're giving us a sales pitch. We're told that we have to accept this

00:25:26.720 because we need big employers. We're told that if we don't say yes, we're driving

00:25:30.620 away the future. But that's a false choice. A big employer who uses the water

00:25:35.240 of 50,000 people, which by the way is a combination of both Kent and Ravenna,

00:25:38.800 only hires about 10 people is not an employer. They are an extraction. 0.68

00:25:44.400 We are being asked to fund a 21st century luxury with a 19th century resource heist.

00:25:50.660 We are being asked to sacrifice the lifeblood of our city so a trillion dollar company can save a fraction of a cent on its margins.

00:25:57.340 We are being asked to drain our reservoirs so a chatbot can write a poem or so our sheriff can generate a picture of himself standing next to Bigfoot.

00:26:04.340 Which, by the way, of course, he made himself look taller.

00:26:06.480 they want us to trust a trillion dollar industry that tells us with a straight face that they can

00:26:14.140 suck five million gallons of water out of our ground a day use it as a liquid heat sink and

00:26:20.100 return it to our rivers without a single consequence they are asking for a measured approach while they 0.97

00:26:25.280 hide their actual usage behind secret contracts and ndas ohioans have seen this trick played before

00:26:31.180 we know what happens when massive utility interests and black box energy deals gets

00:26:35.240 fast-tracked behind closed doors. We're still paying the bill, literally, for the first energy

00:26:40.440 scandal. We were told these bailouts were essential and measured too, and it turned out to be the

00:26:45.080 largest racketeering plot in the history of our state. So when a trillion-dollar company asks for

00:26:49.960 our water, our electricity, and our silence, we shouldn't just be asking for the facts. We should

00:26:54.600 be asking who is really getting the kickback, and why is it our reservoir that's on the line?

00:26:59.240 There is a reason the Ohio House just voted 88 to 0 to pause and study this industry.

00:27:03.920 It wasn't an act of cynicism. It was an act of stewardship.

00:27:07.780 They realized we cannot let these ghost towns move in then before we understand the damage they do to our grid and our water table.

00:27:14.560 We are the county seat. We are the stewards of the Great Lakes Basin.

00:27:18.680 Let Ravenna be the city that had the wisdom to say no to the bubble and yes to the basin.

00:27:23.700 I am not a cynic when it comes to technology.

00:27:26.280 I am a believer in community.

00:27:27.860 I believe that a drop of clean water for a Ravenna child is worth more than a billion AI-generated images.

00:27:33.420 Let us choose the child.

00:27:35.060 Let us choose the community.

00:27:36.640 Let us choose to keep our water where it belongs.

00:27:39.340 Thank you.

00:27:39.760 Thank you.

00:27:45.760 Thank you. 0.63

00:27:49.420 She had a great, we cut a little tight.

00:27:51.800 She had a great quote.

00:27:52.540 She goes to the, who wants to follow him?

00:27:55.540 There were no takers.

00:27:57.260 that is it shows you that is vox populi right there is it not sir absolutely you know there

00:28:04.880 are a lot of will hollingsworths out there right now fighting on the ground trying to make sure

00:28:10.120 people call it nimbyism but you know what that's fine with me they are protecting their communities

00:28:15.560 if another community wants to accept it it's called subsidiarity yes right the whole thing

00:28:19.840 of burke and and and the catholicism and christianity always let's get it down to the

00:28:25.180 lowest. Let's get the decision making down to the lowest level. This is the heritage of the country

00:28:29.300 from the Mayfair compact of those town halls in New England. I mean, this is Norman Rockwell right

00:28:34.320 there. You saw it. The guy stands up. I don't know if he's a liberal, a right winger, a libertarian

00:28:39.000 or whatever. And quite frankly, I don't care because he did that. First of all, it's a master

00:28:42.860 class in rhetoric. Yeah. But he does. He just lays it out right there. That's to me what's so

00:28:49.280 powerful. That's it. That is these town commissions that are happening all over the country

00:28:54.260 about these data centers and people are trying to paint this resistance as extremism they're

00:28:59.640 trying to associate it with these random acts of violence but what we heard there was basically a

00:29:05.100 technological moderate it's a person who obviously wants to see technology push forward he's not a

00:29:10.800 luddite he simply cares about his community the extremism is the accelerationist it's now mythos

00:29:17.180 review etc and would have shocked the pentagon let's be blunt this thing's out of control right

00:29:23.380 now we know it the official apparatus knows it but there's still so much money and power

00:29:27.940 uh to grab and of course we got the chinese communist party now speaking up about the golf 0.97

00:29:35.220 oh we got to have an ordered thing you know everything these are the worst individuals on 0.97

00:29:39.680 earth and we're funding them and underwriting them in this race for artificial intelligence anyway

00:29:45.820 joe allen's in the house we're gonna take a short commercial break return in the warm in just a

00:29:50.380 moment. The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.

00:30:07.760 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold,

00:30:14.920 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.

00:30:19.260 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.

00:30:23.260 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.

00:30:29.540 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:30:36.520 But it starts with education.

00:30:38.440 Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event.

00:30:43.160 This free online event rewards you for learning the basics of investing in precious metals.

00:30:48.040 Sign up to get a free silver on your next purchase.

00:30:51.640 Get even larger incentives as you go.

00:30:54.300 The more you learn, the more you can earn.

00:30:56.580 But you must act now, as this special event only runs through April 30th.

00:31:02.380 The dollar lost its anchor in 1971.

00:31:06.380 You don't have to lose yours.

00:31:08.660 Text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 to join Birch Gold's Learn and Earn Precious Metals event by April 30th.

00:31:18.980 Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 and do it today.

00:31:24.860 The American health care system is broken, and for most Americans, nothing changes.

00:31:30.920 There's still delays, denials, high-cost insurance roadblocks.

00:31:34.300 So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it.

00:31:40.040 All-family pharmacy is not your typical big-chain pharmacy.

00:31:44.080 This is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door.

00:31:52.020 They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, NAD+, even your daily maintenance medications, and so much more.

00:32:01.260 If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly.

00:32:05.980 If you don't, their doctors handle it.

00:32:08.560 As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you.

00:32:13.060 And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to this show and watching

00:32:16.280 has been incredibly strong.

00:32:18.980 People are using it.

00:32:20.060 It's working for them, and they're sticking with it.

00:32:22.600 That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense.

00:32:27.180 This is about being ready before you need it.

00:32:32.200 Go to allfamilypharmacy.com.

00:32:34.320 That's all one word, allfamilypharmacy.com slash Bannon,

00:32:38.340 and use code Bannon10 to save 10%.

00:32:41.460 The health care system is broken.

00:32:44.340 Your pharmacy doesn't have to be.

00:32:48.120 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:32:51.880 Okay, I'm going to call for Grace.

00:32:53.720 If Grace Chung can put out again, maybe get to Grace Chung.

00:32:59.400 This looks like all the reporting coming early.

00:33:02.300 It's quite, it's quite, it's chilly today in the Commonwealth.

00:33:05.780 It's not your typical spring day.

00:33:07.200 It's more like an early March day.

00:33:10.460 But for whatever reason, there seems to be a surge in the red counties of, guess, wait for it, Trump grassroots voters, the grassroots doing their job.

00:33:23.160 So I think more than ever, this could be a dead heat.

00:33:25.480 And I think we're doing, at least so far, through these morning hours, fantastic.

00:33:29.600 And if Grace can get up, if you can get on a phone bank, anything you can possibly do.

00:33:33.400 If you're in the Commonwealth, go to your list.

00:33:36.580 Just go to your phone.

00:33:37.800 Everybody you know, if they haven't voted, call them up, drive over there, get them out to a poll, let them vote.

00:33:44.500 Because right now, with virtually no assistance, you guys are lighting things up.

00:33:51.900 We've got so much to get to.

00:33:53.580 Elizabeth Warren lit up Kevin Warsh in the opening statement of the Fed.

00:34:00.040 I think we'll do that at 5.

00:34:01.240 I'm going to have Navarro come in.

00:34:03.520 Peter Navarro is going to come in.

00:34:04.840 Peter is actually over at Arctic Frost since he went to prison on this thing.

00:34:10.020 And he's got a lot to say about not just the Justice Department,

00:34:13.840 but still the D.C. Attorney's Office, all of that. 0.99

00:34:16.020 There are a bunch of these scumbags still working over there. 0.98

00:34:18.420 He's going to be here. 0.99

00:34:19.120 He's also going to talk about the Fed.

00:34:21.100 So we're going to get to that.

00:34:21.900 There's more, a lot more fireworks on Arctic Frost.

00:34:25.740 But I need you to come in, Joe, today.

00:34:29.320 And thank you for doing it.

00:34:30.180 People should understand Joe is in huge demand as we fight this crusade against.

00:34:36.740 And I'm not a Luddite.

00:34:38.100 I come across a Luddite often.

00:34:39.680 I'm just incredibly concerned that we have a technology that I can see the convergence of wealth and power.

00:34:47.660 and it is it is blinding people to what legitimate concerns are we're like during the atomic weapons

00:34:54.700 phase when there was no atomic energy commission at all even to give some rudimentary regulatory

00:35:00.020 apparatus but there's even a deep that issue with artificial intelligence rolls in or is

00:35:07.740 inextricably linked to another issue and this is the information state or the surveillance state

00:35:13.480 and a company that you cannot trust palantir is now virtually a partner in our government

00:35:22.100 yes right and it's got to stop and carp and here's why carp's so dangerous he's i think by far

00:35:29.760 because a lot of these guys are geniuses but they're on the spectrum right he may be on the

00:35:35.860 spectrum too but he's both very tough very focused and quite smart i think he i think he's another

00:35:43.840 level of of uh the two most dangerous i think are andreason and uh and carp of that crowd not the

00:35:51.360 other ones of elon and these guys but they are uh more easily distracted as 11 year old boys these

00:35:57.000 other two are not distracted and quite dangerous so carp and he's always trying to cover his tracks

00:36:02.860 in patriotism or nationalism.

00:36:05.120 This is a guy that is a hardcore left-wing operative

00:36:10.380 or technology boss.

00:36:12.900 He's written this new book.

00:36:14.580 But he tries to cloak it in nationalism.

00:36:18.320 He tries to cloak it in patriotism.

00:36:20.500 And that's one of the reasons he's so dangerous.

00:36:22.140 He came out with a manifesto.

00:36:23.560 Now, manifestos are not big in the United States.

00:36:26.800 Manifestos are quite big in Europe.

00:36:28.780 In fact, these political parties like the Tories

00:36:32.600 So more importantly, Nigel Farage will come out of Rahim Kassam.

00:36:35.500 Rahim was a was one of the experts of writing manifestos for political parties.

00:36:39.540 And there are a way in Europe that you put forward.

00:36:42.760 This is what I believe. Right. This is what I believe.

00:36:45.080 And all of our things will come around it.

00:36:47.120 CARP has taken a quite universal European idea and has now written a manifesto.

00:36:53.900 Right. He's written a manifesto.

00:36:55.580 And then that manifesto, he tries to cloak it.

00:36:58.660 a lot of it, I think, in patriotism, nationalism, et cetera. Give me your thoughts on that,

00:37:06.400 because he calls for universal military service, other things like that. Walk me through the

00:37:11.220 manifesto of Brother Karp. Well, Steve, I think a lot of people are confused by Alex Karp,

00:37:17.800 mainly because of his facility with language and his propensity to flip back and forth

00:37:23.480 from more left-wing rhetoric to more right-wing rhetoric whenever it's convenient.

00:37:28.800 So, I mean, here's a guy who supported and donated to Biden and Harris

00:37:34.600 and is now seeing, as Palantir has since its inception, just after 9-11, I think 2003 they were founded,

00:37:42.580 seeing a surge in adoption in the U.S. government, the military specifically.

00:37:48.860 Right now, Palantir is being deployed across all departments of the Department of War, all agencies in the Department of War.

00:37:57.580 And so what you have is this impression, as you just noted, with the manifesto, this impression of patriotism,

00:38:05.420 this impression that what Alex Karp is about and what Palantir is about is going against the politically correct left. 0.90

00:38:13.120 Well, I think it falls into what Balaji Srinivasan would call like the gray tribe working the

00:38:21.660 red tribe as opposed to the blue tribe.

00:38:24.820 It was actually important that maybe it was Scott Alexander who came with that.

00:38:27.720 So sorry, Scott, if I'm stealing your thunder there.

00:38:29.940 But the idea is what matters.

00:38:32.000 These are guys who are obsessed with their toys. 0.90

00:38:34.320 They're obsessed with technology, the gray tribe, kind of alien mind, right?

00:38:38.960 And so they're willing to manipulate the politics of the Republicans, of the Democrats, of independents, whatever is convenient and whatever is lucrative, they're going to turn to. 0.78

00:38:50.840 And so this manifesto, which is basically a distillation of Karp's book, The Technological Republic, which I am not trying to boost his sales by holding it up here.

00:39:01.060 But I do think it's at least worth reading because it gives you two things.

00:39:05.920 One, it gives you an idea of the kinds of ideological moves these guys are going for in order to kind of court people on the right.

00:39:15.240 Again, patriotism, anti-PC, pro-prosperity, pro-national defense.

00:39:20.940 But ultimately, the book itself is thin and the manifesto is thin.

00:39:25.800 I think that the two things that really stood out to me, one, a statement on AI weaponry that our enemies are not going to slow down.

00:39:34.960 They're not going to deliberate on whether or not to go full on with autonomous weapons.

00:39:40.080 America has to be at the forefront.

00:39:43.260 And the other is the comparison of artificial intelligence to the atomic age.

00:39:48.580 Well, as you just noted, as atomic weapons, as nuclear weapons became a threat to humanity across the board, the way in which it was controlled is government.

00:40:00.440 And the government is much more accountable to people than a corporation.

00:40:04.000 Right now, CARP is pushing into this idea, this model that corporations can and should be responsible for things like life or death situations, but that responsibility is being more and more put off to AI.

00:40:19.460 If you look at the way in which Palantir works with Maven smart systems in conjunction with other systems like Anthropics, Claude or OpenAI's GPT, what you see is that decision compression.

00:40:32.200 The notion is we can now accomplish so much more in a much shorter period of time.

00:40:36.540 But what that means is that through the surveillance systems of Palantir and through the rapid analysis done by these large language models, what used to take human beings time to deliberate on and to actually consider perhaps the ethical implications of strikes that would kill other people.

00:40:55.640 And it's interesting because if there's one thing in there that I agree with that Karp talks about, well, two things, one, the anti-PC push, but also he talks about how there is a kind of degradation in the conversation around violence, around killing one's enemies abroad, that it should not be celebrated.

00:41:14.440 But maybe sort of like you would read in the Bhagavad Gita that to or say the Tao Te Ching that to kill an enemy, you fight as brothers, as the Bhagavad Gita would say, or the Tao Te Ching, that you should kill an enemy as if you were going to his funeral just with solemnity.

00:41:29.720 Well, how solemn is it if you have a situation in which some of right now, some of the decisions being made to kill other people are being made by machines and pushed by companies like Palantir, like Andriel that want to see these systems deployed fully autonomously.

00:41:47.840 And you simply have machines running around making the decisions, whether it's drones or whether it's missile systems, making decisions without human oversight or just a human in the loop to say yes or no without any real knowledge of the situation.

00:42:02.220 So, yeah, Palantir, these manifestos sound great to American patriots.

00:42:07.080 And I'm not saying that there aren't patriots working at Palantir.

00:42:10.460 I know a couple of them, actually.

00:42:11.860 I'm familiar with them.

00:42:13.660 They are patriots.

00:42:15.080 But when you say patriots, how can you do that when it's a it's a company that's set up for full 24-7 surveillance?

00:42:21.920 How can you be a patriot? You know, I can be a patriot.

00:42:24.180 That's the way they salve themselves.

00:42:26.440 They put the salve on their soul. Right.

00:42:29.260 To justify every morning when they got to look in the mirror and understand they understand in their heart of hearts what they're doing.

00:42:35.020 But they give you a little rhetoric that, you know, I'm an American patriot and I'm doing this because we don't do it.

00:42:40.160 the Chinese Communist Party is, and my point is, that same crowd, that same tech crowd behind the

00:42:46.120 scenes pushes nonstop for the business opportunity to fund finance and equip the Chinese Communist

00:42:54.020 Party. Because the argument would be on these fully automated systems, well, if you add the

00:42:59.140 human, you're adding an element that's going to take longer. The Chinese Communist Party is going

00:43:03.340 to have the automated. Well, they don't have to have the automated. We're still providing them

00:43:07.260 with all that, including the financing, including

00:43:09.500 the ecosystem that does that. That's an

00:43:11.460 argument. First off, when you show

00:43:13.540 me that you're committed to shut all that 1.00

00:43:15.520 down, all of it, and send all 350,000

00:43:17.840 students home and get them out

00:43:19.700 of the company, I mean, they just, yeah,

00:43:21.100 today they got a guy at JFK

00:43:23.580 that was photographing

00:43:25.640 I think one of the military bases,

00:43:27.640 right? These people are nonstop

00:43:29.460 and the big tech is 100% supportive, so

00:43:31.600 that's, their argument's going to be,

00:43:33.700 oh, Joe Allen and Bannon don't 0.99

00:43:35.520 understand they're luddites and they're and they're going to slow down the system so the ccp can kill 0.99

00:43:40.360 our uh can kill our warriors on the battlefield you know that point you're making about surveillance 1.00

00:43:44.840 i mean that is really palantir specialty it's not like they're running the cameras but they take all 0.97

00:43:49.240 of that data and they organize it look carp's not a dumb guy they're in the vp peter teal and jd's

00:43:56.740 a creation of this let's just be blunt about it they they have a whole political this whole thing

00:44:02.000 with the rock bridge capital and all that it's all this is surveillance state you got to be blunt

00:44:07.600 about this by the way breaking news they're saying jd's at a meeting now in the west wing they're not

00:44:12.020 en route as we reported a while ago which i think is smart because you can't get jerked around by

00:44:18.040 these iranians so something's you know president trump something's gonna i'm sure they're meeting

00:44:21.560 about this very topic right now but it looks like there's not going to be any negotiation

00:44:25.120 in islamabad you they're building a surveillance state and they're putting this they put oh we're 0.92

00:44:31.280 going to give you a manifesto. And the manifesto is going to talk about we need everybody to have 0.98

00:44:35.260 universal military service. We have to have, well, look, bro, this is not Israel. We understand 0.94

00:44:40.160 CARP is super pro-Israel. This is not Israel. You know, as a veteran that came out of the 0.97

00:44:47.540 volunteer service, we don't want everybody, right? You don't need us. It's highly inefficient. We now

00:44:52.460 have self-selection of people that volunteer for the military. I think anybody that's a professional

00:44:57.300 in the military would not want universal service.

00:45:01.740 But they try to put a false front,

00:45:04.280 a false front of patriotism and nationalism

00:45:06.820 when they're anything but.

00:45:08.620 These guys are the ultimate deep staters.

00:45:10.480 They provide the surveillance apparatus

00:45:12.800 to take the deep state to a much darker place

00:45:15.800 than it already is. 0.85

00:45:16.700 It's a pretty damn dark place.

00:45:18.540 Well, you know, again, this idea of surveillance,

00:45:20.940 it makes sense when you're talking

00:45:22.340 about surveilling your enemies.

00:45:23.820 But these systems aren't just used for that.

00:45:25.960 They're used for...

00:45:26.900 No, but your point is we are the enemy, the American people.

00:45:30.560 That guy in front of the town hall, Hollingsworth, he's the enemy.

00:45:34.500 Yeah, if you have the system pointed outwards, I can see the justification,

00:45:40.460 although there's a lot of questions.

00:45:41.320 But the thing is these systems are already being pointed inwards at us.

00:45:46.420 And to the extent—

00:45:47.580 Number two, Prince of Lowe.

00:45:49.060 Hollingsworth is a bigger enemy of the surveillance state

00:45:52.720 than, you know, some guy running around in Iraq, okay?

00:45:58.040 I keep saying our problems are not in downtown Tehran. 1.00

00:46:01.880 That's what CARB, just like the Israelis, they try to convince you, 1.00

00:46:06.360 and, hey, the Arabs are just as bad. 1.00

00:46:08.020 I'm not selecting out just Israel for abuse here. 1.00

00:46:11.920 The Arabs are worse. 1.00

00:46:13.140 Now they're coming to us with their hands. 1.00

00:46:14.380 We've got to finance them after Dubai, 1.00

00:46:16.220 after they got all the bikini influencers in Dubai.

00:46:19.340 Now we've got to finance it.

00:46:20.400 The enemy is Hollingsworth. Will Hollingsworth is their enemy, right? Basically, somebody would stand up in a New England town hall and really fight for freedom and individuality and individual liberty. That is a problem for CARP, right? Because those people would sit there and go, guess what? They are decelerationist. Short break. Joe Allen on the other side.

00:46:44.920 everyone's focused on how the conflict in the middle east is raising oil prices but there's

00:46:51.920 another grim reality to this contention oil isn't the only resource being constrained about one

00:46:58.920 third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region and with spring planting season on

00:47:05.040 top of us american farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their

00:47:10.140 fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher

00:47:16.020 food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food

00:47:22.320 supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at MyPatriotSupply come in

00:49:41.200 book real quickly carver i think the one way to to look at this book the technological republic

00:49:46.840 is this you know when jeff clark was just talking about the machinery of government being turned

00:49:51.580 against the president uh you have to understand that machinery is built by someone and it's built

00:49:56.660 with an ideology in mind.

00:49:58.180 And Alex Karp is building this machinery

00:50:01.420 with an ideology in mind.

00:50:03.060 Right now, he's courting the right.

00:50:04.860 Right now, he's a Trump guy.

00:50:06.380 He went from a Biden guy to a Trump guy,

00:50:08.500 an Obama guy to a Trump guy. 1.00

00:50:10.100 These guys, they're the gray tribe. 1.00

00:50:12.240 They are an alien race here on Earth 1.00

00:50:15.480 that are manipulating red, blue, purple, whoever. 0.78

00:50:19.340 We're going to do Bill Maher.

00:50:20.160 We've got a lot to break down.

00:50:21.240 In fact, I'm trying to get you every day this week

00:50:22.900 where you're in town.

00:50:23.620 Joe Allen, where do people go

00:50:25.340 to get your writings in the interim?

00:50:26.660 JoeBot.xyz or at JoeBotXYZ on X.

00:50:31.720 I got Matt Bolin here for a minute or two.

00:50:33.260 Matt, we're going to do a big interview tomorrow in Greece.

00:50:35.240 I'm going to do it.

00:50:35.760 You're going to actually interview me.

00:50:38.060 I want to get you on briefly.

00:50:39.740 I know you're in Greece right now, but what in the hell is going on in these negotiations?

00:50:43.700 They're saying J.D.'s still at the White House in meetings.

00:50:47.380 Are the Iranians jerking around President Trump, sir? 0.86

00:50:50.560 Well, I think that a lot of this is the Reagan-Rakovich play by both sides at the end of the deal.

00:50:57.680 Sources I've been talking to here and throughout the Middle East, I mean, look, Greece is not the Middle East, it's Europe, but I've been talking to people throughout the Middle East.

00:51:06.520 By the way, it's 7 p.m. here, or about to be 7 p.m.

00:51:10.420 It's 9 p.m. in Islamabad.

00:51:13.060 JD can't get there before the ceasefire expires, right?

00:51:16.400 Like, so it's it's the I don't know what's going to happen next, but I do think that they're a lot closer to a deal that fits the president's framework than people are saying.

00:51:30.760 You know, I've been talking to folks who are pretty connected throughout the Middle East.

00:51:35.360 First of all, let me be clear. The White House and the vice president's office, the president, etc., with the exception of the formal messages from the president, have been very tight-lipped, very not leaking, not talking a lot about where things are at with the negotiations.

00:51:56.040 So I'm having to talk to other people beyond the formal sides of the negotiations. 1.00

00:52:02.580 And I don't think you can really trust the Iranians, of course. 1.00

00:52:05.740 But the fact is that folks that I'm talking to throughout the Middle East are saying that they think they're actually closer to a deal. 1.00

00:52:14.260 And that said deal, if and when it emerges, is going to include a massive investment of U.S. energy companies into Iran.

00:52:23.840 So like similar to what you've seen where, you know, the Chevrons and Exxons of the world and whatnot are going to go in and get the natural gas and the oil.

00:52:31.860 I mean, that's the Trump trademark move, right?

00:52:33.920 Like he did it in Venezuela.

00:52:35.720 He wanted to do it in Iraq, right? 0.99

00:52:37.880 Like it's the title of the chapter of his book, second chapter of his book, Time to Get Tough, Take the Oil, right?

00:52:44.480 Like, so that's Trump's trademark move. So if that happens, that, you know, combined with Iran actually agreeing to not get to a nuclear weapon, which would be a major significant development, and then, you know, hash out what happens with the nuclear materials that are there, that's a massive win for President Trump, right?

00:53:03.400 Like, so, um, so we'll see, like, I, I just don't know where and when exactly that's going

00:53:09.660 to happen, but a lot of people think that a lot of this between both sides, both the

00:53:13.680 United States and the Iranians all saying, Oh, we're not going to go.

00:53:17.060 We're not going to go. 1.00

00:53:17.880 It's all theater at the end.

00:53:20.020 So they can all make it look like to their various sides that they were tough.

00:53:24.540 Um, we've got to a bounce, Matt, where do people go?

00:53:27.820 We're going to do the big interview with you tomorrow.

00:53:29.460 In fact, Eric Bowling has been talking a lot about what you're just talking about.

00:53:32.120 And time will tell

00:53:34.420 I know the president's thinking of every different alternative

00:53:36.460 Where do we go to get your reporting, sir

00:53:38.420 In the interim until tomorrow morning

00:53:40.140 When we do this big interview

00:53:41.300 Yeah, just at nboyl1 on X

00:53:43.720 Twitter, at RealMattBoyle on TrueSocial

00:53:45.800 Breitbart.com

00:53:47.060 And Steve, tomorrow's going to be amazing

00:53:48.520 We're here for the Delphi Economic Forum

00:53:50.260 We're going to talk all about the CCP

00:53:51.920 And President Trump's efforts to counter that

00:53:54.300 Wow

00:53:55.700 Okay, Matt, and there's some wild goings on

00:53:58.140 On Capitol Hill the day with work

00:54:00.080 getting lit up as he goes

00:54:02.120 from Federal Reserve. Matt, looking forward to doing it.

00:54:04.180 As people know, Matt drew the straw

00:54:06.160 to go to Athens, and we're

00:54:08.140 here in the war room. Thank you, brother. Appreciate
