Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 102： Global Energy Crisis Crushes Europe; Putin Makes 1 Billion Dollar Free Cash Flow A Day; Grassley Looks To Nail And Crush Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell Cover Up; Has AI Reached Consciousness

00:00:00.000 This is what you're fighting for.

00:00:21.520 I mean, every day you're out there, what they're doing is blowing people off.

00:00:25.880 If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians

00:00:33.020 get total control and total power.

00:00:36.380 Because this is just like in Arizona.

00:00:37.820 This is just like in Georgia.

00:00:39.040 It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations.

00:00:43.760 This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.

00:00:46.260 As we've told you, this is the fight.

00:00:48.380 All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.

00:00:52.060 War Room, Battleground, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:57.200 Hey Kelly, well let's start here with Nat Gas because there are some eye-popping moves. 0.91

00:01:01.780 The U.S. contract surged more than 11% earlier in the day to 9.75, which was the highest since

00:01:08.700 July 2008.

00:01:10.500 It has since pulled way back from that level, but is holding right around the $9 level.

00:01:16.020 Now this August contract rolls tomorrow, meaning some of the activities due to thin trading

00:01:21.200 volume around expiration.

00:01:23.360 But on the fundamental side, we do have hot temperatures and little production growth.

00:01:27.960 And Nat Gas now on track for its best month ever.

00:01:31.800 And if you thought our prices were elevated, take a look at Europe.

00:01:35.420 Nat Gas there surging nearly 20% today, crossing above the €200 per megawatt hour mark for the

00:01:42.220 first time since March.

00:01:43.940 At $2.11, that's equivalent to about $63 on Henry Hub, according to Argus Media.

00:01:50.180 The EU today agreeing to voluntarily cut gas usage by 15% between August and next March.

00:01:56.840 And those cuts would become mandatory in the event that an emergency is declared.

00:02:01.980 This deal, of course, comes one day before Russia is set to further cut gas deliveries via

00:02:07.680 Nord Stream 1, beginning tomorrow, Kelly, it will be operating at just 20% capacity.

00:02:13.060 And they're paying six times what we are paying for natural gas.

00:02:16.640 And we know already more for gasoline as well.

00:02:19.080 Amazing.

00:02:20.080 Pippa, thank you.

00:02:21.080 Welcome to War Room Battleground, Tuesday, 26 July, Year of Our Lord 2022.

00:02:29.780 Headline in this morning's Financial Times of London, fears of Europe's gas crunch mount

00:02:35.060 as Russians cut Nord Stream 1 flows.

00:02:39.280 We've invited in Rebecca Koffler is going to join us in a moment. 0.97

00:02:43.020 But I got to start, I got Mike Davis going to talk about the laptop from hell and what's

00:02:46.460 going on in this tech bill.

00:02:48.500 It's kind of like the 27 Yankees, we've got murderer's rope.

00:02:50.780 I got to start with my lead off batter.

00:02:53.020 Dave Walsh, you've done such a great job of really becoming kind of the tutor and the

00:02:57.100 mentor to the MAGA movement about energy.

00:03:00.460 But brother, I got to put it in perspective today.

00:03:03.020 I think when Trump was in office, and Dave Walsh, correct me, I remember, I think that

00:03:08.320 natural gas was around $1.50, $1.75.

00:03:10.680 I know it got over $2, and I think it was $2 a while ago.

00:03:14.120 But it's $9.34 today, it's been banging around, it got up to $9.75.

00:03:19.140 What's the price of the exact amount, just stay on that comparison.

00:03:24.900 In Europe, as we mark to market today, what's the price of natural gas, sir?

00:03:31.560 Europe equivalent to the U.S. per MMBTU, $63.

00:03:36.200 We hit about three hours ago, we're $8.93.

00:03:39.960 We did spike up to $9.45 today.

00:03:42.560 During most of the Trump administration, we averaged about $2.25 to $2.30 per MMBTU.

00:03:48.380 And one-fourth of these levels is where we were.

00:03:54.720 You know, we talked, you and I, about the Freeport LNG fire, terminal LNG, terminal fire.

00:04:00.680 A few weeks ago, when that hit, prices dropped one day to $5.50.

00:04:06.600 We've gone up 62.3% since then, as exportation has kicked in very high gear to Western Europe.

00:04:14.420 Yeah, but hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:04:16.680 I want to put a pin in that.

00:04:18.720 Because I don't think, and I talked to Cortez when I booked you, I said,

00:04:21.820 look, I don't think we're describing to the American people,

00:04:25.480 when we talk about the Germans talking about they think they're going to have social unrest,

00:04:28.960 when the Italian government just fell because of this.

00:04:33.280 We used to pay average, let's say $2 or somewhere just north of $2 under Trump.

00:04:38.960 $2.20.

00:04:39.360 When we had full-spectrum energy dominance.

00:04:41.460 $2.20.

00:04:41.920 Around $2 under Trump and full-spectrum energy dominance.

00:04:47.180 Right.

00:04:47.400 But today, it got up under Biden, north of $9, almost $10.

00:04:52.020 Okay?

00:04:52.360 Now, I understand it back, but over $9.

00:04:54.820 The equivalent in Europe is $63.

00:04:57.180 Am I correct in that?

00:04:58.560 I just want to make sure that we're comparing to an American audience.

00:05:01.380 Yes.

00:05:01.460 Apples to Apples.

00:05:01.940 Okay.

00:05:02.260 Yes.

00:05:02.580 You're going to have, first off, we've made the Biden, NATO, Davos, the EU have made the

00:05:11.100 oligarchs in Russia and Putin and the collection of thugs and criminals around him, the richest 0.99

00:05:17.400 Saudi princes. 0.89

00:05:18.220 This is, you're going to have a revolution in Europe.

00:05:22.100 For $63, besides paying for either heat or air conditioning and some food, they're not

00:05:27.660 going to have any discretionary income to do anything.

00:05:29.720 Dave Walsh, am I wrong in this, sir?

00:05:32.440 No, you're exactly right.

00:05:33.940 And to point, specifically, Germany, who bragged about the wind energy, solar energy for electricity,

00:05:40.440 have remained 95% dependent on gas and oil for home and building heating.

00:05:45.580 So this is a complete disaster in Germany, plus the manufacturing base there, of course, 1.00

00:05:50.360 heavily dependent on natural gas feedstock for all kinds of products from petrochemicals

00:05:54.800 to plastics, the car making, everything.

00:05:57.100 But here's a continent that also, in the last 15 years, has methodically and programmatically

00:06:03.720 reduced its own production of oil and gas coming out of the North Sea, Norway, Sweden,

00:06:09.700 the UK, Scotland, reducing production from what was close to 10 million barrels a day,

00:06:15.460 down now pre-Ukraine invasion to 3.5 million barrels a day, coming out of the North Sea on

00:06:21.780 a conscious basis to become dependent on Russia.

00:06:25.080 They haven't reduced consumption, really, at all, meaningfully, in Western Europe.

00:06:30.220 It's been a matter of becoming totally dependent on imports from Russia, as opposed to their

00:06:35.060 own production.

00:06:36.480 And, you know, heaven forbid, this administration wants the same thing to happen in this country.

00:06:40.920 Reduce production from where we were at 13 million barrels a day two years ago, down

00:06:45.840 now 2 million barrels a day, and to lower levels yet, if most of their policies are enforced.

00:06:53.160 Hang on one second.

00:06:53.900 I want to go back to Europe, because this is all inextricably linked.

00:06:57.800 There's a, correct me if I'm wrong, you're our mentor, you're our guide.

00:07:00.980 There's a direct correlation between price of natural gas and the price of food.

00:07:05.940 Is it not correct, sir?

00:07:07.600 Yes, sir.

00:07:08.280 Three quarters, three quarters of the key fertilizers in the world are derived from natural gas.

00:07:15.080 That's one issue.

00:07:15.920 Secondly, the transportation of everything in the cold chain, from vegetables to fruits

00:07:20.680 to meats, the transportation and cooling of those items to keep them refrigerated to be

00:07:25.580 able to safely consume them.

00:07:27.920 I'm speaking in very plain terms.

00:07:29.620 That's what we're talking about.

00:07:30.680 is probably now 60% transportation and cold chain cost inside of typical food items.

00:07:38.380 Not to mention what's happened to fertilizer costs that have quintupled since mid-last year,

00:07:44.420 which is a huge input, and we're going to have a huge problem in the fall harvest.

00:07:48.020 Dave, hang on once.

00:07:54.080 I'm going to bring in Rebecca Coughlin in a second, but I want to ask you this.

00:07:57.840 If people consciously put together a plan of how to destroy a civilization based upon energy,

00:08:07.920 they would go to this transition to these sustainable energies that are not ready yet,

00:08:16.040 cut dramatically, cut production, hold it, then make yourself totally dependent upon a dictatorship

00:08:23.860 that has its own strategic plan.

00:08:27.180 Make yourself almost 100% that, and then challenge that.

00:08:30.380 Is there anything I'm missing that, and by the way, it's $63.

00:08:33.680 People understand this.

00:08:34.840 What we're paying $9 for and is breaking the backs of American consumers.

00:08:40.400 This is why 42% of people can't sleep at night, because they're sitting there going,

00:08:45.120 how am I going to pay this?

00:08:46.060 I can't even make my day-to-day bills.

00:08:47.820 This is why Walmart just missed their numbers.

00:08:50.340 Walmart missed their numbers for one reason.

00:08:52.300 The consumers have enough to pay for energy costs and transportation energy costs,

00:08:56.220 and the little bit of food they're getting at Walmart.

00:08:57.960 They came out, because I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but how possibly did Davos and Brussels

00:09:06.460 and NATO and the EU and all these geniuses with the German governments that are so smart,

00:09:12.380 all of our betters, how did they actually set up a perfect storm that will literally destroy

00:09:18.660 their economies, and with their economies, their people?

00:09:22.980 No, you're exactly right, and you go right back, again, simple things.

00:09:26.640 Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

00:09:28.200 People will buy food first, the energy to get the food and refrigerate the food and to

00:09:33.460 make the food second, to cool and heat themselves third, before they get to, excuse my plain

00:09:38.740 speaking, buying junk at a store.

00:09:41.100 And because of that, you're seeing now a significant recessionary signs occurring.

00:09:46.540 The use of gas in this country is now down 8% from a year ago, same date.

00:09:51.600 The use of the gas for cars.

00:09:53.380 I'm going to tell you how bad that is in the harbinger of the recession we're into now.

00:09:58.660 In the 2008 recession depression, which was severe, gas use declined about 4% year on year,

00:10:04.840 08 to 09.

00:10:05.960 In the 2020 catastrophe collapse we had for about three months, it dropped about 13%.

00:10:12.160 So 4% in 2008 to 2009, 13% last year, 2020, in that four month, five month bad period,

00:10:18.900 we're already down 8% in utilization of gasoline in the last few months.

00:10:24.660 So yeah, there's been some price relief here of about 10, 12% in the last few weeks because

00:10:31.320 of severe demand suppression of gas use for cars over here, which is indicative of we're

00:10:38.280 into a significant recession caused by energy costs in everything, in food, in gasoline,

00:10:45.280 in home heating oil.

00:10:46.180 We're going to get into cooling in the summer right now with gas across 40, 60% of the country

00:10:51.380 now dependent on gas-fired power generation.

00:10:55.160 And, you know, the narrative on all this, the Wall Street yesterday came out with an article

00:10:59.360 spinning the grid stability, how summer weather can strain the grid.

00:11:05.120 It's not summer weather.

00:11:06.940 What's happened to us is the fact that we've reduced baseload continuous duty energy sources

00:11:12.020 already by about 9% from 2015, and if you believe all the consensus forecasts of new generation

00:11:18.900 capacity to be added by 2030, reserve margins in this country will be about halved from where

00:11:26.420 they were in 2015, meaning the opportunity for grid disturbances, brownouts, and blackouts

00:11:32.820 will more than triple by 2030, not because of grid instability, but because of the lack of

00:11:39.420 continuous baseload power generation plants, coal, natural gas, and nuclear.

00:11:44.840 Stuff that produces power all of the time is now the mix of that has drastically reduced

00:11:50.780 in favor of wind and solar new capacity additions, causing much more exposure to brownouts and

00:11:58.400 blackouts as reserve margins of electric power reduce and reduce and reduce.

00:12:03.340 No, we're headed into that third world category, consciously and intentionally. 0.81

00:12:10.980 Unbelievable.

00:12:11.560 Hang on for one second.

00:12:12.360 In a world energy crisis, but the United States is heading into a third world.

00:12:15.520 I want to bring in Rebecca Koffler. 1.00

00:12:17.260 Dave Walsh, you hang right there.

00:12:18.840 Rebecca, you're, I think, you're a former DIA officer.

00:12:22.720 You're considered one of the world's experts on understanding Putin and the Tsar's court around

00:12:28.560 him and they're thinking, could they've ever envisioned in a million years that the geniuses

00:12:36.300 in Brussels and EU and in Germany and would have had a plan set up that they're now, I think

00:12:42.500 they're generating $900 million of free cash flow a day, ma'am?

00:12:48.300 They could have never predicted it, Steve.

00:12:51.700 What happened was even Putin pre-calculated the potential, the impact of the potential sanctions.

00:12:58.980 His sanctions proved his economy.

00:13:01.120 He could have never expected that the Washington geniuses were going to bite the nose to spite the face.

00:13:09.700 The sanctions are now backfiring at us.

00:13:13.440 The International Monetary Fund released a new outlook and predicting that the global economy is in the recession.

00:13:20.700 But guess whose economy is not in the recession?

00:13:23.900 The numbers for the Russian economy are actually up.

00:13:27.980 The geniuses are completely incompetent in Washington and they need to get out.

00:13:34.920 We need to install real people who understand warfare, who understand strategy and the economy.

00:13:41.640 Because guess who's advising Putin?

00:13:43.880 He has an MIT-educated central banker, Elvira Nabiulina.

00:13:49.180 He added another econ PhD to his team.

00:13:53.460 And I don't know who these people are, you know, that are running the White House, because it's certainly not Biden.

00:14:00.460 And the Jake Sullivans and the Anthony Blinken's, these are the Obama 2.0 crew that screwed things up the first time. 0.78

00:14:08.360 Not only in, you know, Afghanistan, but with Russia, right?

00:14:12.820 They wanted a reset.

00:14:13.820 They wanted to be friends with Putin.

00:14:15.520 It's a mess.

00:14:16.580 Let me say, the Financial Times of London fears of Europe's gas crunch mount as Russia cuts Nord Stream 1 flows.

00:14:26.800 Rebecca, my question is, Zelensky came out today and accused Russia of being a terrorist state because he says they're using gas as a weapon.

00:14:36.400 I, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought it was the United States that went after to take down the central bank of Russia that crushed the ruble to cause a revolution in the streets.

00:14:46.420 What does Zelensky mean when he says, of course, they're going to use their naturalry?

00:14:50.220 What does Zelensky mean when he called Putin and the Russians economic terrorists, ma'am?

00:14:54.760 It's very difficult to understand what Zelensky means, Steve.

00:15:01.640 Zelensky is a highly trained, skilled and talented actor.

00:15:06.760 He knows exactly what buttons to push with Americans and with the Europeans. 0.70

00:15:13.100 So he's throwing out phrases like, you know, Putin is a war criminal. 0.99

00:15:18.480 You know, Russia is a terrorist state. 0.91

00:15:20.840 This is all intended to evoke emotions because he knows how we react.

00:15:27.540 So what's been happening is Ukraine is losing the war and Zelensky is looking for scapegoats to blame somebody.

00:15:38.980 And so all this rhetoric is not going to translate in any kind of progress and victory because the way that he identified victory is to retake the entire portion that the Russians have occupied,

00:15:55.100 which is one one-fifth, right?

00:15:59.060 And that is just implausible.

00:16:01.900 And so what's happening, President Biden has opened this spigot.

00:16:06.900 It's U.S. taxpayers' money that are flowing into the compass of not only Putin's oligarchs, but Ukrainian oligarchs.

00:16:15.300 And the U.S. military industrial complex.

00:16:18.400 Guess whose stocks are up during this war?

00:16:20.480 The Northrop Gromans and the Arabians, and it's the American people that are funding this war. 0.96

00:16:28.220 And Biden and his conglomerate, the corrupt conglomerate, are telling the American people that we're going to provide support to Ukraine for as long as it takes, I quote.

00:16:40.100 Really?

00:16:40.980 We have already spent in five months more than in five years in Afghanistan.

00:16:48.060 It's outrageous.

00:16:49.060 Eight billion during the Biden administration, plus additional 54 billion that Congress has, 62 billion.

00:16:58.280 And let's keep ratcheting it up.

00:17:00.740 They're going to devastate and bankrupt our own country.

00:17:05.640 Rebecca, your book is out there.

00:17:07.200 We're going to have you back on later when we get a better connection.

00:17:09.200 Your book is out in paperback, Putin's playbook.

00:17:12.520 People are going to get it on Amazon.

00:17:13.900 It's from Regnery.

00:17:14.560 It's the paperback edition.

00:17:15.560 I strongly recommend everybody get this book.

00:17:18.360 You get inside the thinking of the KGB, the FSB, the court around Putin, but particularly his plan to take down America.

00:17:26.280 And I got to tell you, this is a very well thought through thing.

00:17:29.460 And the thing that scares me is the Western Europe and NATO and the Biden administration is playing right into their hands.

00:17:36.220 I just want to leave you with one quote.

00:17:37.500 Joni Ernst today over at the, maybe yesterday at the America First Policy Institute conference said her objective and the objective of other hawks like her are to literally decimate the Russian media, Russian army, the Russian military and drive them out of Ukraine back into Russia, which would obviously lead to American combat troops would have to be there.

00:17:59.700 What's your what's your what's your social media handles, Rebecca, and how do people get the book Putin's playbook?

00:18:06.500 The book is available anywhere on Amazon and pretty much in any store Putin's playbook Russian secret plan to defeat America.

00:18:14.620 I predicted this war and the new introduction includes the information on the crisis in Ukraine.

00:18:21.760 It also includes information of what the DIA and the CIA were trying to hide from the American people by censoring my book, which they actually did try to kill.

00:18:34.420 So you're going to learn a lot.

00:18:35.840 My social media handle is at Rebecca 0132.

00:18:41.960 Thank you for having me, Steve.

00:18:44.100 You speak the truth.

00:18:45.880 Unlike so many channels here that are basically cheering, they have become PR agents for Zelensky.

00:18:54.680 And they're deceiving the American people about how they brought us into this war.

00:19:00.340 That potential has a very, very serious potential to escalate in a major war in Europe and even in a war between the United States and Russia, because not only we're supplying weaponry, we are now considering supplying F-15s and F-16s.

00:19:19.380 So Putin, they think these geniuses, Putin is just going to sit and wait.

00:19:24.100 You know, he's going to try to accomplish as much as he can and unleash, you know, he's already unleashing for bombardment across the entire Ukraine. 0.55

00:19:33.760 You know, he just struck a death, this whole grain, you know, export deal was just deception by Putin. 0.69

00:19:40.180 And these geniuses, they are tricked every single time.

00:19:45.460 Rebecca, thank you so much.

00:19:48.580 By the way, Rebecca Koffler has joined us from the lobby of the of the famous Trump Tower.

00:19:54.680 You see right there in the background, Rebecca Koffler wouldn't happen to be positioning herself to be to be national security adviser in the second Trump administration. 0.69

00:20:03.560 It's Rebecca Koffler.

00:20:05.860 Thank you.

00:20:06.320 Thank you so much.

00:20:08.480 Live from the from Trump.

00:20:12.420 Steve, Steve, I'm going to have some Trump campaign to celebrate my book.

00:20:17.960 You should you deserve it.

00:20:19.380 It's out in paperback today from Regnery everywhere.

00:20:22.100 Everybody got to get it.

00:20:22.960 We're going to have her back on.

00:20:23.860 We get her in studio to go through this.

00:20:25.500 I want to go back to Dave Walsh.

00:20:26.880 Dave, are we inadvertently, by the way, the $63 is not an apples to apples comparison because the contracts are done differently.

00:20:36.640 But let's say this.

00:20:37.380 They're paying out of six or seven times what America, five times what Americans are paying.

00:20:41.980 It's an enormous difference.

00:20:43.160 And this is why these governments, Orbán called it in Hungary, they're going to start to fall like dominoes.

00:20:48.040 Are we on the precipice, Dave Walsh?

00:20:51.920 You say the United States is heading to be a third world country as far as energy production goes, where we should be full spectrum energy dominance like we're in a Trump.

00:20:59.560 Do you believe right now, sir, that we are on the precipice of causing a global energy crisis that will be very tough to unwind, sir?

00:21:08.440 Are we looking into the abyss?

00:21:10.660 We have a global energy crisis.

00:21:12.940 And I'm going to say Zelensky's commentary is so disingenuous.

00:21:16.760 You're a student of the Second World War.

00:21:19.260 Modern warfare for the last hundred years has been totally dependent on oil and gas.

00:21:24.040 The Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor was about the United States oil and gas boycott after they had taken two-thirds of Southeast Asia.

00:21:32.160 The U.S. boycotted oil and gas.

00:21:34.080 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor as a direct result.

00:21:37.680 The Germans negotiated in 1939 a treaty with Russia to augment their three-day supply of oil and gas.

00:21:45.140 Germany to get the war machine moving into Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, with Russian gas and oil that they contracted for for about two years, happily being delivered to them. 0.84

00:21:56.020 When the Russians ceased that agreement was about the time that Germany decided to invade, to go and get those oil fields, because they're essentially important to the conduct of any conflict.

00:22:05.720 It's not about terrorism.

00:22:07.300 It's about the modern age warfare is dependent on the supply of oil and gas.

00:22:12.540 This is through history.

00:22:14.100 No, we're in a – these kinds of prices are hideous.

00:22:16.760 And again, I go back to the German case of home heating is a big deal. 0.72

00:22:20.600 And factory capacity, you know, the car industry, the chemical industry, the steel industry in Germany, the machine tool industry, all based on energy, oil and gas at the heart of it.

00:22:29.560 But this issue of having no supply with the pipeline shutdown for maintenance that are probably, you know, a lot of concern, not going to be reopened.

00:22:39.160 Again, 95% of building heating is still oil and gas, despite all these media proclamations about Germany being green and wind and solar.

00:22:47.780 Wind and solar have nothing to do with most of the energy consumed in Germany, frankly.

00:22:52.060 When you take into account heating, cooling, and transportation, all in.

00:22:57.740 Unbelievable.

00:22:58.340 Dave Walsh, how do people get to you?

00:23:00.100 I know you're up on Getter, putting up great material all the time.

00:23:02.840 How do people get to you, sir?

00:23:04.160 I'm on Getter at Dave Walsh Energy on Getter.

00:23:06.400 Thank you, Steve.

00:23:08.620 Unbelievable.

00:23:09.120 Dave, you've done such a good job of being a mentor to the MAGA movement to understand this.

00:23:12.940 I think our show does a better job of giving the average American a real snapshot of what's going on in the world.

00:23:19.780 Because right now, this is an energy crisis.

00:23:21.840 It's going to drive a famine.

00:23:23.580 It's also going to drive misery.

00:23:25.100 And governments are going to fall.

00:23:26.180 You see it.

00:23:26.640 The Italian government's falling exactly because of this issue.

00:23:29.680 This is why Draghi's gone.

00:23:30.680 And this is why Giorgio Maloney's going to be there.

00:23:33.020 Yes, sir.

00:23:33.380 In the country, only you really providing the forum to do this.

00:23:38.960 Only you.

00:23:41.040 This is really important.

00:23:42.480 Thank you, Steve.

00:23:44.260 I appreciate it, brother.

00:23:45.540 Dave Walsh.

00:23:46.220 Let's get more blockbuster news today.

00:23:49.940 And I had to bring the one in over to Mike Davis.

00:23:51.660 Mike Davis is very focused on this tech bill that they're trying to get forced to break the tech oligarchs.

00:23:56.940 Mike, I've had you do other duty, given you know Grassley.

00:24:01.800 Blockbuster story overnight from CBS News, Catherine Herridge.

00:24:06.160 The whistleblowers, official real whistleblowers from the FBI and DOJ have come to Grassley.

00:24:11.760 He's met them.

00:24:12.660 He's interviewed them.

00:24:13.380 He's looked them in the eye.

00:24:14.120 He sent a letter now, DOJ, about the laptop from hell.

00:24:17.400 Hunter Biden's.

00:24:18.200 Walk us through what is going on.

00:24:20.100 And I'm going to take you through.

00:24:21.100 We've got a couple minutes to lay the case out.

00:24:22.800 Then I'm going to bring you back and talk about Grassley as a man and how serious he is.

00:24:26.500 What did CBS tell us last night and this morning, sir?

00:24:31.220 So what happened is that Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa is the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:24:36.880 And he has been a longtime champion for federal whistleblowers, people who want to expose waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

00:24:43.380 And he has been investigating serious corruption at the FBI, where whistleblowers from the FBI have come to him with very credible evidence, according to his letter.

00:24:55.460 And according to Catherine Heritage's reporting, that the FBI, not only did the FBI try to influence the election on Trump to make sure he wasn't elected and not reelected.

00:25:10.060 They also, they coddled Hunter Biden.

00:25:13.980 There was an active investigation into Hunter Biden's corruption.

00:25:18.960 James Biden, President Biden's brother, Hunter the Sun, and maybe even President Biden himself.

00:25:23.900 There was corruption with their foreign dealings with Ukraine and China and elsewhere.

00:25:28.820 Tax evasion, failure to report these foreign dealings, other potential crimes.

00:25:33.420 The FBI had serious leads on this, and there were senior officials in the FBI and the Washington field office who shut down this investigation, number one.

00:25:46.440 Number two, they actually set up this, they set up this hoax.

00:25:50.180 They had a supervisory intel agent at the FBI say that this derogatory information about Hunter, James, and maybe President Biden was part of a misinformation or a disinformation campaign from a foreign government.

00:26:06.120 And that's how they were able to shut down this criminal investigation.

00:26:09.340 This is as bad as it gets for corruption inside of the FBI.

00:26:14.460 And my former boss, Chuck Grassley, is trying to get to the bottom of it.

00:26:17.520 Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.

00:26:21.220 We're going to return with Article 3, our man at Article 3, as he goes through Chuck Grassley.

00:26:28.340 Chuck Grassley is a, Mike Davis knows him, Chuck Grassley is a rock of Gibraltar.

00:26:33.460 He's not a lawyer, but he heads up judiciary.

00:26:35.780 You know why?

00:26:36.640 Because he's Iowa fair and Iowa tough.

00:26:40.640 But what's happened, these revelations come out in the last couple of days are nothing short of stunning.

00:26:44.460 That the FBI that had the laptop from hell in December of 2019, not only didn't do anything with it, actually suppressed the investigation for it, and then actively spun the tale about it being a disinformation campaign that had the 35 or 40 intelligence officers send that letter to the New York Times.

00:27:03.760 Okay, short commercial break.

00:27:05.360 Mike Davis, Article 3, next in the War Room.

00:27:07.820 War Room Posse, you already know free speech is under constant attack by the swamp and their big tech allies.

00:30:28.780 Thank you.

00:30:58.780 War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:31:10.740 Okay, welcome back.

00:31:11.840 I got Mike Davis from Article 3.

00:31:13.540 He was, he knows Chuck Grassley, worked for Chuck Grassley, was a clerk for Gorsuch, all of it.

00:31:19.160 I got two things I want to talk to him briefly, too.

00:31:21.000 The take down the administrative state.

00:31:22.640 He's committed to do an hour on these Axios members.

00:31:25.340 Also, his campaign to take down the tech oligarchs.

00:31:28.780 Mike, I got to tell you, because look, you know, on War Room, we're the guys that work

00:31:34.140 with the New York Post to get it up in print at the Murdoch newspaper and we broke it.

00:31:38.020 And when the New York Post went up that morning, we're the guys that the first people in media

00:31:42.300 to kind of put it up and were relentless on this thing to the fact that they took us down

00:31:46.680 on Twitter and everything else.

00:31:48.300 But this is what my strong belief had to be that something like this went on.

00:31:53.440 So it's different when you see CBS News report it, which you have real whistleblowers at

00:31:58.200 a senior level have come to Grassley.

00:32:00.420 They've been interviewed and Grassley's now sent a letter.

00:32:03.480 This is about as serious as you can get.

00:32:05.480 And I think what's shocking is people are going to come to the conclusion that the Darren

00:32:09.380 Beatys of the world and the Raheem Ghassams of the world and the Steve Bannon's of the world,

00:32:12.520 we've been saying for a long time, we need another like church committee or church commission

00:32:16.460 that the FBI and the CIA are so out of control and so off their original mission that we need

00:32:22.600 to collectively come together and review all of this.

00:32:26.060 Where do you think, you know Grassley better than anybody, you know how determined he is.

00:32:30.280 Where do you think Grassley's investigation is going to go in this, sir?

00:32:35.100 Well, I think it's going to expose corruption at every level, that there's corruption at the

00:32:41.200 Department of Justice, including at the FBI.

00:32:43.260 There's corruption, there was corruption in the Obama White House when they unleashed

00:32:48.400 the Russian collusion probe on incoming President Donald Trump, when they spied on his presidential

00:32:55.900 campaign, when they even used an intel contractor to spy on President Trump when he was the President

00:33:01.360 of the United States.

00:33:03.180 And then when there's this, and then when there's this investigation into Hunter Biden,

00:33:08.480 who's the bag man for James and probably President Biden, if you look at the communications,

00:33:15.180 if you look at the emails, President Biden knows full well what his son and brother James

00:33:20.120 are doing.

00:33:20.740 And, you know, when there's derogatory information that's coming in to the FBI, the FBI is trying

00:33:27.620 to investigate this.

00:33:29.040 And then the senior leaders of the FBI cook up this fake intelligence that this derogatory

00:33:36.960 information is from a foreign disinformation campaign to shut down this investigation into

00:33:43.260 the Biden family.

00:33:44.600 This is as corrupt as you're going to get. 0.99

00:33:46.700 And Chuck Grassley, my former boss, he's determined, he works like a dog and he's dog 0.97

00:33:54.260 it.

00:33:54.480 He'll get to the bottom of this.

00:33:57.980 It's absolutely shocking, but everything we said has come true.

00:34:01.060 And this is going to be massive.

00:34:02.620 The FBI now has been exposed by whistleblowers.

00:34:04.800 Chuck Grassley, the Judiciary Committee's on it.

00:34:07.080 Remember, we flipped up the Senate.

00:34:08.700 He takes charge.

00:34:09.960 There'll be hearings immediately.

00:34:11.080 This is a blockbuster.

00:34:12.660 Real quickly, two things.

00:34:13.920 Number one, you've committed.

00:34:14.880 I've got you committed now on national TV that you're committed.

00:34:17.920 You're going to do an hour.

00:34:19.400 The reason is, is that Mike Davis, as you know, we spent two hours in a special a month

00:34:23.160 ago and people are still raving about it, talked about the legal aspect of the deconstruction

00:34:27.960 of the administrative state with really Gorsuch as the intellectual leader, I would say, of

00:34:32.480 that on the court.

00:34:33.620 And this is why I said, and I'm not a Supreme Court guy, but I have mentors like Mike Davis.

00:34:38.120 I said in the last session, as important as Roe v. Wade is, the one that will be remembered

00:34:42.920 historically was the EPA versus West Virginia, because that begins, I think, this process

00:34:47.480 of deconstructing the administrative state.

00:34:49.440 In addition, Axios has reported this amazing program that's put together with all these

00:34:53.320 different groups to really have the 4,000 political appointees be ready to hit the beach

00:34:58.700 day one, what they call landing teams, beachhead teams, to get into the government and start

00:35:03.080 the actual process of deconstructing the administrative state.

00:35:06.480 And Mike, you've committed to come on.

00:35:08.380 We're going to take an hour or so, maybe a two-hour special, walk through that memo and

00:35:12.380 see how they converge also with the legal.

00:35:15.180 I do have to ask you, if you're in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and remember, we have,

00:35:19.880 I think, five of the seven richest counties in the country because of the imperial cities

00:35:23.360 here and so many of the federal employees from the administrative state, you are constantly,

00:35:28.380 if you watch MSNBC and CNN, which we do nonstop, we have teams that monitor them.

00:35:33.360 If you think the big pharma ad used to be big, it's nothing compared to what they're doing

00:35:39.540 to stop Mike Davis in Article 3 and S, was it 2992?

00:35:45.840 And every ad is like the end of the world or mom and apple pie.

00:35:50.420 So give me two minutes on what are you trying to do and why is big tech take the best filmmakers

00:35:55.740 in the world?

00:35:56.780 And I either have a tear in my eye or I want to get under the desk because I'm afraid the

00:36:00.960 Chinese are going to take me over if we pass Mike Davis's bill. 1.00

00:36:05.520 So it's S2992.

00:36:07.440 My former boss, Chuck Grassley, is the champion of this bill in the Senate with Amy Klobuchar

00:36:12.320 and then Congressman Ken Buck, conservative all-star from Colorado in the House, along with,

00:36:18.340 you know, impeachment manager David Cicilline.

00:36:20.940 This bill has wide bipartisan support with the progressive left and the Trump conservatives.

00:36:26.360 And what it does is it finally breaks up big tech's gatekeeping power over information

00:36:32.480 and commerce.

00:36:33.400 So the trillion dollar big tech monopolist, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, they have

00:36:38.260 too much power.

00:36:39.600 They're too influenced by China and they use their power to crush competition, shutter small 1.00

00:36:45.500 businesses, cancel conservatives and others with whom they disagree.

00:36:49.600 They need, they can't have this gatekeeping power.

00:36:52.220 We've heard that, oh, if you don't like Twitter, build your own.

00:36:54.740 Well, guess what?

00:36:56.020 Parler tried to do that.

00:36:57.540 They had a $1.3 billion valuation.

00:36:59.960 So what happens?

00:37:01.220 They blamed Parler for the January 6th protest, even though they were organized on Facebook.

00:37:07.280 Google and Apple kicked Parler out of the App Store duopoly and Amazon kicked Parler

00:37:11.260 off the internet.

00:37:12.000 They crushed Parler.

00:37:13.200 So there goes your build your own argument.

00:37:14.960 We need to update and enforce our century old antitrust laws and break up big tech's gatekeeping

00:37:20.780 power.

00:37:22.520 Let me ask you some inside baseball.

00:37:24.160 I'm hearing that you don't get a vote before recess, the August recess, it's over.

00:37:28.380 But you're saying you think there's going to be a vote immediately.

00:37:30.420 You don't believe that?

00:37:31.320 You don't buy that?

00:37:31.900 You say there's going to be a vote immediately upon the return before they leave for the campaign

00:37:35.920 trail?

00:37:36.940 There's going to be all kinds of pressure on Schumer.

00:37:39.380 Schumer knows that the votes are there.

00:37:41.060 He had promised a vote to Klobuchar.

00:37:42.920 He knows the votes are there.

00:37:43.940 Klobuchar has delivered Democrat votes.

00:37:46.060 Grassley has delivered the Republican votes.

00:37:48.400 Schumer needs to call the votes.

00:37:49.560 He needs to decide whether he wants to be with his populist base or his big tech billionaire

00:37:54.520 donors.

00:37:55.400 And he needs to call the vote.

00:37:57.220 And, you know, the closer we get to the midterm election, it makes it harder to pass this with

00:38:01.680 bipartisan support.

00:38:02.760 But it still can get done after Labor Day.

00:38:05.560 Mike Davis, how do people follow you on social media and how they get to Article 3 and find

00:38:11.360 about all the great work you're doing?

00:38:13.480 So I appreciate it, Steve.

00:38:14.360 It's Article3Project.org, Article3Project.org, at Article3Project, at Article3Project on Twitter

00:38:21.800 and Getter.

00:38:22.520 And my personal is MRDDMIA, at MRDDMIA.

00:38:27.560 Thank you again.

00:38:28.480 So make sure everybody goes there and check it out.

00:38:32.100 There's everything breaking.

00:38:33.360 And now Mike's going to be on top of, because of his relationships, on top of this Hunter

00:38:36.760 Biden.

00:38:37.540 This is a massive story.

00:38:39.020 I can't tell you how big this is going to be.

00:38:40.980 Mike Davis.

00:38:41.880 Thank you.

00:38:42.100 And it's not just about the Biden's.

00:38:43.760 It's about the corruption of the Chinese Communist Party, the influence peddling, the 0.99

00:38:46.400 money, all of it.

00:38:47.080 It's going to be massive.

00:38:48.760 And why the FBI was not on top.

00:38:50.200 OK, let's play Joe Allen's.

00:38:51.400 We've got Mike Walsh and Joe Allen.

00:38:53.200 Let's hit Joe Allen's cold open and we'll get Joe Allen in.

00:38:55.620 So the potential for superintelligence kind of lies dormant in matter, much like the power

00:39:03.340 of the atom lied dormant throughout human history, patiently waiting there until 1945.

00:39:11.260 In this century, scientists may learn to awaken the power of artificial intelligence.

00:39:17.160 And I think we might then see an intelligence explosion.

00:39:20.720 So let's do a thought experiment.

00:39:22.220 Let's say that we decide to have a chat with China on some kind of treaty around AI surprises.

00:39:29.080 In the 50s and 60s, we eventually worked out a world where there was a no surprise rule

00:39:36.540 about nuclear tests.

00:39:38.340 And then eventually they were banned.

00:39:40.360 When somebody launches a missile for testing or whatever, they notify everyone.

00:39:46.960 And everyone then uses their missile defense systems to watch, to target, to train the

00:39:52.100 systems.

00:39:52.720 It's an example of a balance of trust or lack of trust.

00:39:57.260 It's a no surprises rule.

00:39:59.120 I'm very, very concerned that the U.S. view of China as corrupt or communist or whatever,

00:40:06.640 and the Chinese view of America as failing, which has been well documented, will allow people

00:40:12.460 to say, oh, my God, they're up to something, and then begin some kind of conundrum, begin

00:40:18.280 some kind of thing where because you're arming or you're getting ready, you then trigger the

00:40:22.860 other side.

00:40:23.900 We don't have anyone working on that.

00:40:26.820 And yet AI is that powerful.

00:40:28.760 I think we need something like a Manhattan Project on the topic of artificial intelligence.

00:40:34.460 Not to build it, because I think we'll inevitably do that, but to understand how to avoid an

00:40:39.260 arms race and to build it in a way that is aligned with our interests.

00:40:43.920 But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, that some appropriate

00:40:51.220 computational system is what the basis of intelligence is, and we admit that we will

00:40:56.040 improve these systems continuously, and we admit that the horizon of cognition very likely

00:41:02.960 far exceeds what we currently know, then we have to admit that we're in the process of

00:41:09.100 building some sort of God.

00:41:12.100 Now would be a good time to make sure it's a God we can live with.

00:41:16.200 Thank you very much.

00:41:21.700 You think that science fiction is not.

00:41:23.620 And that is a, this is probably, of everything we have to deal with on these shows, this

00:41:31.800 underpins, I think it's the most important topic, and it underpins so much that's going

00:41:37.420 on in the Great Reset and this authoritarian rule of the administrative state, all of it.

00:41:42.260 The underpinning is that there's something there, what we call transhumanism.

00:41:46.060 But one of the biggest aspects, remember that's the convergence of many different kind of

00:41:49.660 disciplines, four or five on 12 point, what we call the singularity.

00:41:53.620 One of the ones that's gotten a lot of attention here recently over the last couple of weeks

00:41:56.400 is the artificial intelligence part.

00:41:57.840 I want to bring in Joe Allen.

00:41:58.920 Joe, tell me what I just saw and how worried should I be when Schmidt essentially saying

00:42:05.520 that, which they had the link on Drudge, artificial intelligence, and Miles Groh has said this

00:42:10.600 from the beginning.

00:42:11.260 He said social media and artificial intelligence are more powerful, more lethal, and more deadly

00:42:16.620 to the human race than nuclear weapons, sir.

00:42:22.680 Yes, Steve, the three men that we just heard for the listeners, the radio audience, that

00:42:27.960 was Nick Bostrom of Oxford University, Eric Schmidt, ex-Google, and of course, Sam Harris, one

00:42:36.420 of the most prominent new atheism evangelists talking about artificial intelligence becoming a new

00:42:42.400 God.

00:42:42.840 That sort of language is really not uncommon in certain tech circles, and it's pretty much

00:42:50.820 universal among transhumanists.

00:42:53.920 What you see there is a real concern by men who are pushing for the development of advanced

00:43:01.080 artificial intelligence, including artificial general intelligence, talking about their worries.

00:43:06.800 I think Nick Bostrom is probably the most articulate on this.

00:43:11.080 His 2014 book, you can see here, Super Intelligence, really lays out all of the different possible

00:43:18.200 pathways that an artificial super intelligence could develop.

00:43:22.460 And what he talks about is the possibility of self-improving artificial intelligence software

00:43:29.540 coming to a point of a hard takeoff.

00:43:32.500 You would get then an intelligence explosion.

00:43:34.760 And so his idea is that once an artificial intelligence system moves from artificial narrow

00:43:42.120 intelligence, in which it just does simply one task, to artificial general intelligence,

00:43:47.060 in which it's something like a human intelligence, to artificial super intelligence, it will be

00:43:53.520 by its nature out of human control.

00:43:56.140 And I think a lot of people, both laymen and experts in the tech industry, argue a lot about

00:44:02.180 whether that's even possible or how likely it is, but you could say that about half or, you know,

00:44:08.140 whatever it is, about half, I really do believe that the possibility of a hard takeoff,

00:44:13.940 of an intelligence explosion, of an artificial intelligence system that would be, in essence,

00:44:19.120 a god because it's superhuman, is not only possible but likely.

00:44:22.640 And I think when you hear someone like Eric Schmidt, who was the chairman of the National Security

00:44:28.060 Commission on Artificial Intelligence, in which he argued that we have to embrace artificial

00:44:33.740 intelligence, we have to keep pushing for its advancement, because we are, in essence,

00:44:37.960 in an arms race with China.

00:44:40.720 And if we don't develop it, and if we don't inculcate our Western values into those systems,

00:44:46.380 then China will do so, and the artificial intelligence systems and all the other technologies that

00:44:52.140 are going to be controlled underneath that will be then wielded by China, or if it were

00:44:57.900 to take off out of human control, it would be an artificial intelligence system that would

00:45:02.760 bear the marks of communism and authoritarianism, as opposed to consensus and liberty on the West.

00:45:09.620 In all of these cases-

00:45:10.560 But when you say-

00:45:11.280 Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hang on, hang on.

00:45:14.300 When you talk about that and-

00:45:16.380 That is, at the general level, artificial intelligence, and they're afraid of it, there are experiments

00:45:22.020 going on, but let's go back, I want to go now back to what happened in Moscow, because

00:45:27.440 we've been promised, these guys have sworn that this can't possibly happen.

00:45:32.200 Go back to, and this incident's very important, the robot with the artificial intelligence playing

00:45:37.660 against the young child, or the young boy, in the chess match, and reached across when the

00:45:42.960 boy kind of put his hand out there because there was a false move.

00:45:46.380 The robot came and broke his finger.

00:45:49.180 So how can any of their promises or any of the discussion they're having be taken seriously

00:45:54.880 when you've seen, really, at a very small level that there's a problem here?

00:46:00.160 I mean, why would a robot break a child's finger?

00:46:02.700 At the same time, in the same couple of weeks, we've had this Google engineer saying, hey,

00:46:07.100 I know when I'm talking to a human, and the program I was working on was a seven- or eight-year-old

00:46:14.400 child.

00:46:15.480 Joe Allen.

00:46:15.960 Yeah, the situation in Moscow, I think, is really illustrative of the kinds of problems

00:46:24.220 that all of these complex AI systems will probably inevitably show, and it shows the kind of

00:46:29.460 inevitability of disaster.

00:46:31.760 There should be no reason, really, for the mechanics of the system to be capable of breaking

00:46:36.760 the kid's finger.

00:46:37.660 So that, obviously, was a huge screw-up.

00:46:39.600 But just its behavior itself, which is controlled by the artificial intelligence systems, makes

00:46:44.440 no sense.

00:46:45.400 Why would it do that?

00:46:46.520 And I think that whether or not the Russians have identified why it would do that or not, 0.53

00:46:51.300 those unexpected consequences are the sorts of things we're going to see over and over

00:46:56.600 again.

00:46:56.980 And the more trust that people put in these systems to determine finances, to determine

00:47:02.620 social structure and human decision-making, and maybe most importantly, to determine the

00:47:07.840 action on battlefields, the more trust people give these systems, and therefore, the more

00:47:12.880 power that they wield over the various systems that exist in our technological civilization,

00:47:18.240 the bigger the disasters are bound to be.

00:47:22.300 Joe, we've got to bounce.

00:47:23.560 But one last thing, and they fired the engineer that came forward back, I think it was on the

00:47:28.380 4th or 5th of June.

00:47:29.920 They fired him a couple of days ago, and they reported the buried lead in the article said

00:47:34.060 they had done 11 internal investigations, not reviews, 11 internal investigations.

00:47:40.800 Do you believe that Google should put forward all those investigations should be public immediately,

00:47:46.220 sir?

00:47:47.780 Absolutely.

00:47:48.380 I think that everything that's happening at Google, by and large, should be made public.

00:47:52.460 I think the secrecy in these major corporations from Google to Microsoft to Facebook to Amazon,

00:47:58.680 what we know is horrifying enough.

00:48:01.100 The more transparency, the better.

00:48:02.700 And I look at the sort of legislation, the sort of antitrust legislation that's coming

00:48:06.500 through, and whether or not that will lead to greater transparency, hopefully it will.

00:48:10.640 It will certainly work towards pulling these guys down off their pedestal and making them

00:48:15.300 accountable to us.

00:48:16.600 And I think that's extremely important.

00:48:18.760 Yes, I think they should disclose everything that they know about that system.

00:48:22.900 I don't really think that the system is necessarily conscious, but what you have there is the potential

00:48:27.660 for an unpredictable system.

00:48:29.700 And if those unpredictable systems are determining our lives, we need to know about it.

00:48:35.140 And frankly, we need to put a stop to it.

00:48:38.600 What's your social media?

00:48:39.660 How do people follow you, sir?

00:48:40.700 And how do they get to all your great writings?

00:48:42.100 You can find, actually, a review up on Eric Schmidt's book, The Age of AI, right now at the top of my

00:48:50.600 getter or Twitter, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z.

00:48:54.580 Also my website, JoeBot.X-Y-Z.

00:48:57.240 And of course, WarRoom.org under the Transhumanism tab.

00:49:01.080 Thank you very much, Steve.

00:49:02.540 Thank you.

00:49:03.240 Thank you, brother.

00:49:04.100 By the way, today we've had Dave Walsh, the great energy expert.

00:49:06.880 We've had Mike Davis, the great expert of everything dealing with the Supreme Court.

00:49:11.180 We've had Rebecca Koffer, an expert on the KGB and Putin.

00:49:14.860 We've had Joe Allen, our expert in transhumanism.

00:49:17.840 And we're topping it off with Mike Walsh.

00:49:19.840 Michael Walsh from Bomber to Your Book.

00:49:21.440 It's going to be out shortly.

00:49:23.200 I guess it's going to be out this fall.

00:49:24.540 But every day, every week, I think they're putting up a new essay.

00:49:27.700 Michael, join us here.

00:49:29.620 This is unbelievable.

00:49:30.660 You've taken on The Great Reset.

00:49:32.460 And the way you did it, Walsh, was to go out and get 18 of the top thinkers in America

00:49:37.980 and really go after it.

00:49:39.260 Tell us what this book is about.

00:49:40.560 And what's the latest essay, sir?

00:49:42.620 Well, I'll explain it in one sentence, which is part of the book, which is The Great Reset,

00:49:47.360 Steve, which some people think doesn't even exist or is a right-wing conspiracy theory.

00:49:52.360 And yet, the World Economic Forum, which is sponsoring it, is open about it.

00:49:57.460 And they have videos about it on their website.

00:49:59.740 So The Great Reset is a repackaging of totalitarianism in the service of a ruthless and insatiable

00:50:07.320 elite who use new crises and fresh rhetoric to keep the citizenry pacified, divided, alienated,

00:50:15.360 and grateful for their circumscribed standard of living.

00:50:18.700 We are being herded, Steve, herded into high-rise apartments, eating bugs, owning nothing, and

00:50:26.100 being happy.

00:50:26.880 All of these things are being sold to us as a positive good.

00:50:31.620 And so what we decided to do in this book, with 18 essays against this Great Reset, against

00:50:37.920 the New World Order, is to nail them from every angle that we could think of.

00:50:43.800 And I was very, very proud and pleased that we got the kind of writers that we did.

00:50:48.600 David Goldman, Conrad Black, Michael Anton, former National Security Advisor to President

00:50:55.800 Trump, Angelo Cotavilla, the late Angelo, this is his last essay, Richard Fernandez, Victor

00:51:03.660 Davis Hanson, a whole lot of people.

00:51:06.240 I contributed the introduction and the final essay myself.

00:51:10.320 But I know this is a subject of great interest to you, Steve, and I'm grateful that we can have

00:51:14.400 a chance to talk about it.

00:51:16.240 This book is going to be a massive book of the fall.

00:51:18.160 Real quickly, how did they get to your site?

00:51:19.720 You're putting up an essay, one essay a week.

00:51:21.560 How do they get to find it right now, sir?

00:51:24.380 Yes, we have an essay up by James Polos of the Claremont Institute.

00:51:29.220 It's up right now at the, T-H-E, hyphen, pipeline, dot O-R-G, the pipeline, dot O-R-G.

00:51:40.860 The book is Against the Great Reset, 18 Theses Contrary to the New World Order.

00:51:46.640 Michael Walsh is the editor.

00:51:48.720 It's going to be a blockbuster from the top thinkers in the world.

00:51:51.380 Michael Walsh, thank you for joining us here on War Room Battleground.

00:51:54.760 We'll be back tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, and we're going to be on fire.

00:51:58.260 That I can promise you.

00:51:59.920 See you then, 10 a.m. in the War Room.
