00:00:28.800I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.680Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.440If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.840War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:01:51.160should be pushed on american girl scouts i would tend to agree with you and we're going to get into
00:01:56.400how girl scouts usa had to freak out they accused me of spreading misinformation hang on i i don't
00:02:01.840want to i want to start off i want to start if you were once a girl scout i take it i was a brownie
00:02:08.900i don't know maybe i thought they went woke too on the gender front uh the marxist sharia
00:02:14.980you know um i don't i don't even know anymore uh maybe two capitalists now um but it was i
00:02:25.680remember when mo was a brownie mo had actually i think she i think her mom was running the brownie
00:02:33.060troop or something it's just it's next level um hhs i think we're gonna start in you want to take
00:02:38.900the uh you want to take it from here yes we're gonna go all over the place from hhs to the
00:02:44.400continued islamization of america to prc infiltration to california illegals getting
00:02:50.340your tax dollars and fraud but i want to start at hhs because i think this is quite timely with
00:02:56.420everything we found out about of course fauci the pregnant women and the vaccines babies children
00:03:02.660in the vaccines. So people may recall, I actually believe Dr. Malone broke the sort of original
00:03:08.060architecture of the story a few years ago, which was that the CDC was deploying $80 million. That
00:03:16.340was the minimum. Ideally, they were going to spend over a billion dollars, but it was actually
00:03:20.880President Trump who stepped in and stopped this program, but deploying it to do these sort of
00:03:26.300social listening models. So they would pull, in this case, hundreds of millions of Instagram
00:03:33.620posts, tweets, anything from social media to sort of decide or deliberate what the prevailing pieces
00:03:40.840of misinformation were that were prompting people to not want to get the COVID vaccine. Because of
00:03:46.180course, it had to be misinformation. It couldn't just be people not wanting to get the COVID vaccine.
00:03:50.580So they had teams of researchers actively intaking all of this social media data, but it didn't stop there. So the output of that, like I said, with a budget of tens of millions of dollars, it should have been over a billion, was to come up with talking points that they then, through intermediaries, were paying influencers, over 400 of them, nearly 500, to basically dupe their followers, convince their followers to get the COVID vaccine.
00:04:17.520so they set up a bunch of these very like friendly sounding instagram accounts l beacons
00:04:23.540one of them they were targeting americans but they were also really targeting spanish language
00:04:28.340speakers too um they were really using hispanic influencers so they were going after this
00:04:33.260demographic in particular this was sort of known about but no one really ever knew the content of
00:04:38.760the posts because they never disclosed it or the people who were actually involved who were doing
00:04:44.220this kind of pay for play. Um, so I was able to unmask dozens of individuals who were on the take
00:04:53.080in this case from the CDC telling their followers to get the COVID vaccines. And if Denver scrolls
00:05:00.640the article, I will do my best to sort of voice over, but these weren't just generic run of the
00:05:06.180mill. Hang on one second. I just want to make sure I understand something. These were not
00:05:10.160bots that they were using these were actual human influence they did this analysis they saw all the
00:05:15.800chatter that was out there they came up with a plan to counter that then they gave it not to bots
00:05:21.040but they actually gave it to actual human influencers correct so basically they would
00:05:27.260listen to the war room right to other social media posts that were basically espousing the
00:05:31.360same talking points that we were and then they would curate these messages that they would
00:05:35.820disseminate, not through, you know, bot armies or botnets, but through actual people trying to
00:05:40.920essentially pay off, get the trust that they've built up with their audience. And Steve, the
00:05:44.840weirdest part, although maybe it makes sense, is that these weren't even necessarily doctors or
00:05:49.900public health experts. These were like female fashion influencers. These were mommy influencers.
00:05:55.500These were people who you really wouldn't expect the government to be targeting. Like I said,
00:06:00.580I was only able to unmask about 60 of them. There are 500 that exist, but none of this was publicly
00:06:06.880disclosed. I was just able to sort of reverse engineer and pull some of these names from
00:06:12.260different markers, different deleted posts, and get some of these names. But this is mainly the
00:06:17.160sort of like woman fashion cohort. But I mean, you have people who are former television hosts.
00:06:22.220You have people who are reality TV contestants. So they cast a very wide net of the kind of
00:06:28.580trusted messenger modeling system that they were using. And some of these posts to quote exactly,
00:06:35.700do your part, step up, get vaccinated and vaccinate your children. Another one, Marisa
00:06:41.440Davila-Maduid said babies born to vaccinated mothers faced a lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization
00:06:48.040and that she was vaccinated while pregnant, encouraged her followers to do the same
00:06:52.160to protect her daughter. Another one, you can see a picture of her with her brand new baby,
00:06:57.060Paolo Desideri she talked about pregnancy childbirth and breastfeeding while calling
00:07:01.720vaccination quote the best decision for herself and her daughter another influencer was posting
00:07:07.680pictures of her six-year-old and her two-year-old saying that they were like the first people to get
00:07:12.080vaccinated that they were so excited especially for their children there's some even non-kid
00:07:17.620specific propaganda saying quote for the most most vulnerable for those you love most in all
00:07:22.980caps, get vaccinated and become a superhero too. They also were doing these sort of giveaways where
00:07:29.360they were encouraging people. And this was broader. This wasn't just this one campaign,
00:07:33.320but if people showed that they were vaccinated, followed these accounts, promoted vaccination
00:07:38.560themselves, they would get entered into a $100 Amazon card giveaway raffle, that type of thing.
00:07:47.220My favorite post in all of them that I found shows you, frankly, how stupid these people are.
00:07:52.980One influencer and literally explicitly calling out, you know, vaccine misinformation types says that, quote, over 678 percent of Americans over the age of five are fully vaccinated.
00:08:06.040You forgot the decimal point. That's not possible.
00:08:09.000And other people just again, there's dozens of posts in my article.
00:08:12.980You can see all the names are listed and they're hyperlinked to the posts.
00:08:17.080But again, Steve, the thing here is this was never disclosed in the way that the CDC intentionally set up this program.
00:08:24.800When these people were tagging ad or when they were saying that they were working with someone to push this,
00:08:29.540it made it seem like they were working with some super happy-go-lucky, you know, nonprofit that was just focused on saving, you know, public health.
00:08:36.960They set up these intermediaries so it was not traceable back to the CDC, kind of like a shell game, right?
00:16:18.700Philip Patrick is going to join us for the D-Block.
00:16:21.520Also, I'm going to try to get Philip back tomorrow morning on the D-Block.
00:16:24.480Also, a lot to go through on capital markets.
00:16:27.280the economy numbers out today, GDP growth 1%. Don't think we're going to grow our way out of it
00:16:33.600as it looks now. We'll talk to Philip about all that. But in the interim,
00:16:38.460take your phone at text, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898. Get the ultimate guide for investing
00:16:44.600in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. It's all free, no obligation. You get access to
00:16:50.880Philip Patrick and the team, like I said, in the D block today. And tomorrow morning,
00:16:54.000And we'll be talking about all these issues.
00:16:57.480Natalie G. Winters, give your sub stack right now, because I want to make sure you are like putting out a major new investigative reporter study.
00:17:06.160It seems like every day I want to make sure people go.
00:17:09.200It's free. It's if I'm correct, it's free, ma'am.
00:17:13.320It's free, totally free. You can read read all of this.
00:17:16.740No, no Sharia backed loans necessary to subscribe.
00:26:22.460They say that there's been a lot of misinformation going on about Girl Scouts, that they do not, you know, endorse any religion, but that they're proud to, you know, welcome these faiths and that some of this stuff is not explicitly there.
00:26:34.880But it's a very wishy-washy, people-can-read-it-on-screen statement.
00:26:41.320One, they're not refuting or rebutting anything that I told them, including but not limited to literal hajj patches, share Islam with a friend, and telling girls to wear hijabs, trying them on in a hijab photo booth.
00:26:55.960But the best part, Steve, of all of this is like, this is just the natural culmination of modern feminism, whereby you have the literal Girl Scouts defending the Islamization takeover of their institution, the normalizing and mainstreaming of God knows what is going on inside these mosques and saying that I'm the crazy one.
00:27:22.000I'm the one that's guilty of spreading misinformation, but that celebrating a culture
00:27:26.060that treats women as second-class citizens and stones them for who knows what, those are the
00:27:31.300Girl Scouts. And Steve, the best part, which I'm very honored, I've officially been attacked by
00:27:35.820CARE, which is a career milestone for me. Their director of government affairs said some not
00:27:40.900very nice things in a Newsweek article, but obviously they do not like this story, but it's
00:27:46.480true. Even the littlest, most innocent examples of American culture are being amended and forced
00:27:51.900to deal with and compel and bend the knee to Islamic culture,
00:28:20.900Of course, you won't hear about this in the mainstream media or on the nightly news.
00:28:26.540They'll never admit Trump was right about anything.
00:28:30.020But according to my dear friend and frequent war room guest, Jim Rickards, President Trump has a plan that could unlock an estimated $2.7 trillion in American resources, creating opportunities that many investors may not even realize exist.
00:28:45.740Jim recently put together a new presentation explaining what he believes is happening,
00:28:50.440why it matters, and what Americans should be watching right now.
00:28:54.080To get the full story, go to RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:28:58.320That's RickardsWarRoom.com and watch Jim's free presentation.
00:29:05.620That's RickardsWarRoom.com to learn more about this $2.7 trillion in American resources
00:29:14.320that President Trump is creating a massive opportunity.
00:29:18.120Go check it out today, RickardsWarRoom.com.
00:29:20.540War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:29:28.840To get our arms around this affordability issue,
00:29:33.860now because subsidies being taken away from the disaster of Obamacare,
00:29:38.020I think one-third of the subsidies have gone away
00:29:40.000because as they roll back, this COVID level spending, there's alternatives. If you're
00:29:47.260having to choose between your medical insurance or your health insurance and paying the rent or
00:29:53.380the mortgage or putting food on the table, there's an alternative. America's HealthShare.
00:29:57.880Go to freedomforhealth.org slash Bannon. This has all the information. It's going to take some
00:30:05.220due diligence on your part, one, to make sure you fully understand it, two, to see if it's right for
00:30:10.340you, but can have pretty dramatic cuts to what you're putting out right now. But you have to
00:30:16.420understand how it works. And management's put itself out there when you go to the site to answer
00:30:22.220all your questions. Now, people that are taking this on is the feedback we've gotten, love it.
00:30:27.400But like I said, it takes some work on your side. Go to freedomforhealth.org, freedomforhealth.org
00:30:34.240slash ban it. Now, you get a month free if you make the shift, but that's not the reason to do
00:30:37.880it. There's other reasons to do this if you so choose. And this is why management of America's
00:30:43.600health shares put themselves out there to answer all your questions. So do your due diligence. It
00:30:47.480could be a pretty dramatic alternative for you, particularly if you're struggling to meet
00:30:52.680the medical insurance payments now, which I know many, many, many people are.
00:30:58.220Okay, I want to make an announcement here. We've got a couple more things to go through, Natalie,
00:31:01.560But I want to go to full stop and drill down on this. So we're going to have Natalie back during the week on her substack investigations, particularly about the CCP, which is all important right now.
00:31:11.780Let me understand this. There are mosque based based units of the Girl Scouts that they've allowed to come from these mosques and by parents at the mosque, etc.
00:31:21.960But then there's also badges given if you're just a typical Girl Scout, you know, in the valley out in L.A., if you're just a regular Girl Scout, there are also badges and achievements you can get for basically understanding Islam better.
00:31:42.580Is that right? So there's two different things. There's mosque base, and then there's just badges for participations for girls who are not in a mosque base, but just in a regular Girl Scout troop.
00:31:54.460If they go to a mosque or do these different things and starting to understand the Islamic religion, ma'am?
00:32:01.360yes so the mosque based ones are like the ultra radical tip of the spear but as it is interesting
00:32:08.840that a lot of their programs are oriented towards you know subsuming the the infidels and showing
00:32:14.480them muslim culture i mean i don't know about you but the image of muslim girl scout troops making
00:32:19.460you know american girls try on hijabs in the name of like developing young girl skills young life
00:32:26.720skills is pretty egregious but the national girl scouts are sort of trying to weasel out of this
00:32:33.720by saying like oh we do this for everyone and which they don't actively discriminate against
00:32:40.780other religions but they're certainly not as welcoming but that's also not true one these
00:32:46.760patches right the hodgepatch the in the name of allah band that they have on that is national
00:32:53.340Girl Scouts sanctioned, right? So they're basically just sort of imparting their, you know,
00:32:58.820institutional authority onto this third party organization. But those are real, real patches.
00:33:04.420I mean, you can see in my tweet thread in the article, they're using the National Girl Scout,
00:33:08.880you know, trip form, and they're telling the girls they need to pack their hijab.
00:33:13.280But National Girl Scouts, they do promote Girl Scout Juma. They have a patch. If you read the
00:33:19.800article you can see it they've celebrated open mosque day um and like i said all of these events
00:33:28.020too these are officially sanctioned troops so it's not really true to say that they're not
00:33:33.460endorsing this um and the care spokesperson that they then weaponized or at least newsweek did
00:33:40.940um because they're basically now rolling over and saying you know it's just interesting steve
00:33:45.640right, their response to this is that it's misinformation, despite not even attempting
00:33:49.740to refute anything that I'm saying, and then trying some whataboutism, right? I could only
00:33:54.820imagine, just like we've seen the stories recently, the video we played of Texas public
00:33:58.980school kids going to a mosque, obviously the lawsuit that's going down in Palo Alto right
00:34:04.140now where they're busing Christian or at least non-Muslim kids to mosques, in some cases
00:34:10.540without the parents knowing. I don't really ever hear that happening, right, with trips
00:34:14.540to churches and i could only imagine the national outrage probably the calls for sanctions that we
00:34:18.980would see from care um but instead they're just saying it's misinformation not identifying what
00:34:23.960it is and then doing some whataboutism when no having kids declare the shahada non-muslims
00:34:30.600declare that and practice fasting and trying on hijabs that's pretty freaking radical um but care
00:34:37.240as always you can always count on them to come in and just give you the dumbest statement ever
00:34:40.960um count of course it's the council on american islamic relations they told newsweek in response
00:34:46.300quote those seeking to manufacture outrage over muslim girls and boys participating in scouting
00:34:53.300programs are not looking out for children but advancing an ideological agenda using muslim
00:34:58.640youth as fodder for sensationalism clickbait and the anti-muslim hysteria that continues to plague
00:35:04.460public discourse in our nation i would actually give a hat tip to robert mccall because i was
00:35:10.260just looking into the Girl Scouts but now he mentioned that it's the Boy Scouts too so I'll
00:35:14.180definitely be following up that story but Steve there's so many takes on this here but also when
00:35:19.160you just take one you know step back on all this it's like all you ever hear from these people
00:35:24.000is how much they hate our culture and they hate our country yet they seem to be continuing to
00:35:29.500move here in massive numbers take over our culture why are you even doing Girl Scouts and then
00:35:35.220reappropriating it and then getting mad when people don't bend the knee to accommodate them
00:35:39.820and then using these american cultural institutions literally to advance islam and not just like oh
00:35:46.360let's learn what islam is no making girls try on hijabs declare the shahada practice fasting
00:35:52.260learn about the hajj stuff that you would never see happen with any other religion and to link
00:35:57.480this real quick to just some other trends that i've been seeing but we'll say on the girl scouts
00:36:01.540there's a whole host of former catholic seminaries and catholic schools that are being
00:36:09.240bought up now, right now, as we speak by Muslim schools and these Muslim organizations. For
00:36:15.660example, there's a Catholic seminary that used to train boys for the priesthood. It opened in 1926
00:36:20.920in New York. Now it is becoming a full-time Islamic boarding school for Muslim boys. The
00:36:26.040United American Muslim Association is taking it over. If you go to my Twitter feed, you can see
00:36:30.700the construction outlines, the plans. They're literally converting the chapel into an Islamic
00:36:35.920prayer room a catholic seminary in new jersey that again once trained boys for the priesthood
00:36:41.420is now set to become the fourth campus of an expanding islamic school network and if you look
00:36:47.720to steve there's a mosque down i believe it's in tampa where you look on their website they
00:36:53.540literally have a timeline like a milestone of their historic events for the mosque and they
00:36:58.840just recently purchased a new church that they're turning into another muslim school they literally
00:37:03.840celebrate as one of the like pivotal events in their mosques formation is how they turned a
00:37:09.120church into a mosque in florida it's disgusting and then to cap this all off to bring it back to
00:37:15.160the kids obviously people put up a screaming match screaming fight over what they're trying
00:37:21.440to do with epic city um but down in texas just a few months ago there was a purchase of over 80
00:37:28.540acres of land and you got to go to my twitter and my sub stack to see all this stuff laid out all
00:37:33.040this stuff is hard to keep track of but they it's how they do it right we flood the system they flood
00:37:37.580the system too um there's nothing public about the transaction other than the realtor who was
00:37:44.640responsible for doing it and it was outside athens texas basically an 80 acre kind of compound but i
00:37:51.020would say ideal for a summer camp a kids camp and the person the realtor who was responsible for
00:37:57.460doing that deal is on the board of this Muslim youth camp that has camps throughout Texas.
00:38:04.740Logical conclusion there, based off the kind of metadata on the transaction, is that they
00:38:09.800want to be setting up a camp where they say, quote, based on Islamic values, it's like
00:48:57.300And what Besson, I kind of disagree with Druckenmiller.
00:49:00.360I think Besant's doing a very good job, but all he can do is buy time, right?
00:49:05.480He can balance and he can buy time for the administration to push growth.
00:49:10.180And I think he's doing an expert job of that.
00:49:12.360He's using every trick in the book that he learned managing significant hedge fund assets.
00:49:18.600But Druckenmiller's criticism, I think, was also fair to a degree.
00:49:23.540And this was the core argument of his op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
00:49:27.300And that is that by intervening, the Treasury risks sacrificing credibility, right?
00:49:33.420If investors start to think that actions are about managing debt prices, which you and I know is the reality, rather than maintaining an orderly market, then they can respond accordingly.
00:49:46.360If you intervene too aggressively to make Treasury debt look safer or cheaper, investors start to wonder why intervention was necessary in the first place, and you risk premiums going up.
00:49:58.820I think it was editor of The Economist, but Badgett said back in the 1870s, every banker knows that if he has to prove he's worthy of credit, in fact, the credit is gone.
00:50:11.100And it is the same paradox just 150 years later.
00:50:15.280And the reality, and this was ultimately the conclusion of what Druckenmiller said, is we can buy time in the shorter term.
00:50:24.400But long term, we need to show the world that we're serious about getting our fiscal house in order.
00:50:29.820And the only way we're going to do that is to address deficit spending.
00:50:33.720I think there's enough goodwill to the United States around the world that if we show them we're serious about managing the problem, they'll give us more and more time.
00:50:42.620But the reality is, as long as deficits are increasing, this is just a balancing act that eventually is going to collapse.
00:50:51.060But what it shows, and we've got to bounce.
00:50:53.440I've talked Philip to join us tomorrow morning in the D-Block.
00:50:56.240It shows we have to have the political will to address spending.
00:51:00.780And to date, first of all, the Republican Party hasn't shown the will.

00:51:16.400What we need is people to contact you and have the team at Birch Gold walk through about the advantages of owning fiscal gold as a hedge in times of financial turbulence, sir.
