I mean, every day you're out there, what they're doing is blowing people off.
00:00:33.600
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians,
00:00:38.480
get total control and total power. Because this is just like in Arizona. This is just like in Georgia.
00:00:44.320
It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
00:00:49.280
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. As we've told you, this is the fight.
00:00:53.600
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:57.440
War Room Battleground. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:01:01.520
It's Monday, 12 September, the year of our Lord 2022. We're what, 57 days out from the most important
00:01:10.480
midterm election in the history of our nation, or at least since the early years of the Civil War in 1862.
00:01:17.440
We've got a couple of very intense, heavy hitters to start to show off. Ed Martin from the Eagle Council
00:01:23.280
and John Tamney, the editor of RealClearMarkets. John will be in a moment walking us through
00:01:28.560
that Biden-Harris economic plan they published as such fanfare last week, where I asked John
00:01:33.600
to give us the RealClearMarkets analysis. I want to start with Ed Martin.
00:01:38.000
Ed, so over the last couple of days, two things have happened. You've had Biden give the red scare
00:01:46.480
speech, the red demon speech, to basically defile Independence Hall. You then had, you know,
00:01:55.520
yesterday they defiled ground zero by, you know, Hillary Clinton, Warner, Mayorkas, Kamala Harris,
00:02:02.960
and Biden either giving speeches at ground zero, or at the Pentagon, or interviews where they
00:02:08.880
basically said, hey, terror, radical jihad is not a problem. The big problem is domestic terrorism.
00:02:15.280
And then, but, counter to that, the populist takeover in Canada, throughout the milquetoast
00:02:22.240
conservatives. We have a sweeping, massive tectonic plate shift victory with the Swedish Democrats
00:02:29.120
in Sweden, the most liberal and progressive of all. In fact, they threw Greta Thunberg in at the
00:02:34.400
last second to fight, quote unquote, racism and fascism. She got blown up. And of course,
00:02:37.840
they stopped the polling two weeks ago before Italy. The last poll shows Georgia Maloney surging
00:02:44.800
and pulling together a right-wing coalition with Salvini and others that could get over 50% of the vote.
00:02:51.520
Walk us through what has happened, both for the forces of dark and the forces of light, Ed Martin.
00:02:57.040
Well, look, Steve, what we're seeing, and you can feel it in this country, is that the people,
00:03:02.720
we the people, know what's at stake. You can feel it moving. That's why you see Biden get more and
00:03:08.400
more panicked. He goes up there. And by the way, let me tell you the one thing I don't think people
00:03:11.840
talk about enough. For a certain age, and Steve, I know you're that age I am, there was a book,
00:03:16.400
Clear and Present Danger. Clancy used it as a way to signal we had to fight against the Soviets. It was
00:03:22.560
down at the eighties. And what, what Biden said is we, the people, he looked at us and said,
00:03:27.680
you, the people are a clear and present danger, which means he can limit the constitutional
00:03:32.720
protections because we're a danger to him. We feel that right. And we're surging. And you know,
00:03:37.520
what I would tell people is what happened in Canada, the conservatives in Canada, the guy that's
00:03:42.560
winning is a old fashioned, about 45 years old, came from nothing, married a minority. He's a fighter.
00:03:49.200
He's a street fighter. And the people are drawn to the Canadian conservatives. Amazingly,
00:03:53.440
he fought the COVID stuff. He's surging, as you pointed out, same thing in Sweden. In Sweden,
00:03:58.720
the regular people, it's going to sound familiar, Steve, the regular people are sick of a government
00:04:04.160
that puts solar power over our family's pocketbook. And in Sweden, they call them the social Democrats.
00:04:12.000
They were in charge. They had windmills. They had the, all the crazy, uh, solar pushes.
00:04:18.080
Regular people said, we'll take the Swedish Democrats. That's the conservative wing.
00:04:21.760
And they're, they're surging in so much. So the guy that's winning in Sweden, the leader there
00:04:26.160
was actually, he was fairly clearly, uh, anti-immigrant. You know, he wanted to hold
00:04:31.280
all immigration and he's kind of basically said, yeah, that's who I am. And he's surging.
00:04:34.800
Here's the trick box, Steve. The world is seeing the populist movement. We, the people surging
00:04:41.600
in America, they're doing everything they can to tamp us down. They're knocking J6 families
00:04:48.320
off of the fundraising platforms. They're trying to take away, scare you from the polls. The only
00:04:54.160
thing that works is a massive surge to the polls. If we don't do it, if we say, well, either we're
00:05:00.400
winning already, we're going to be stuck with a Paul Ryan Pelosi kind of future, and we've got to fight
00:05:07.040
through it. So the world is giving us a playbook or at least showing us what can happen. As you point
00:05:11.760
out, even in Italy, they're surging and they had to slow it down. So it's all good, except we still
00:05:17.200
got 57 days and we got to get every single person to the poll and motivated and focused and get it
00:05:24.160
done. Is what connects the dots here is loss of sovereignty, because really the trucker convoy,
00:05:30.480
we had people on from Canada this morning said, hey, that was really what brought up to the Canadian
00:05:34.000
people. Something was deeply wrong with not just what Trudeau was doing, but that the conservatives
00:05:40.720
have really become controlled opposition. The same thing in Sweden, where they've been saying, hey,
00:05:45.520
we tried this mass immigration policy. It didn't work. It's been 15 years. Now we've got mass rapes,
00:05:51.440
no-go zones, and nobody wants to talk about it. We're finally going to talk about it, put it on
00:05:54.880
essentially the ballot, and people responded, particularly even in the urban areas among some
00:06:00.640
of the elites, people going in behind closed doors and voting for the Swedish Democrats.
00:06:04.560
And of course, Maloney's been saying for a while from Italy, we've lost our sovereignty,
00:06:08.720
not just to Davos, but we've lost it to the international capital markets, and we've lost it
00:06:12.960
to Brussels. So is that the connective tissue here, the loss of sovereignty and the populist movement
00:06:22.480
I think it is, Steve. And one of the only upsides of COVID was it laid bare the grab against we,
00:06:30.400
the people all across the world, right? You saw the connected. The World Health Organization is going
00:06:35.280
to define for us what the virus is. It's going to define for us, it's going to have our leaders
00:06:39.760
lying like Fauci to play the game at the top level. So I think that you're seeing it's a sovereignty
00:06:45.680
thing. But everything comes back to home. If you, a regular Americans feel like we're losing control
00:06:53.200
of our whole nation. So that, you know, you and I know it's sovereignty. Most people know it's like,
00:06:57.840
what's happening here? And they're looking up and they're seeing the old man yelling at them from
00:07:02.080
Independence Hall saying, you know, you can't be like this. You're like, wait, what am I trying to
00:07:06.240
do? All I want to do is have my family succeed, my neighbors, you know, flourish. And so I think that's
00:07:12.480
the common denominator. But you know, Steve, again, in the world, in history of these movements,
00:07:17.600
and we've talked about it off the air, as well as on the air, you get a mass movement going,
00:07:22.000
and you got to follow the right leaders, you get distracted by the shiny objects. And you say, oh,
00:07:28.000
what I really want to do is make a stand over here. In this nation, the way you do it is win at the
00:07:34.000
polls, you throw out the school boards, you know, Steve Maxwell has been on that's doing that and all
00:07:38.320
these guys, you get down and you win the House and Senate and demand accountability. You won't
00:07:43.200
get anything back by yelling at the World Health Organization on Facebook or Twitter. You do it by
00:07:48.720
getting the polls. And you know, Steve, again, I watch this stuff so close, and we work so hard at it.
00:07:53.360
If we get just a couple percentage points of our people being lazy or staying home, we'll lose,
00:07:59.200
right? We can't cheat as well as they can. We got to get everybody out and push hard. So I think it's
00:08:05.440
sovereignty. But also think for now, people got to get close to home. They got to want it for
00:08:10.240
themselves and their family. You got to be all wrong phrase, but be greedy for America right now.
00:08:16.880
And that's means we got to turn out on in November. We got to get the votes out.
00:08:22.480
There's there is no substitute for victory. People ask me, how do you stop this? Win at the polls,
00:08:27.680
give a shattering blow to the Democrats at the ballot box. Real quick, what is
00:08:32.000
Eagle Council doing about this? What would Phyllis Schlafly have us do right now?
00:08:37.120
Yeah, well, Phyllis, first of all, Eagle Council, if you go to EagleCouncil.com,
00:08:40.080
we're out in St. Louis. It's a group of key leaders, key grassroots folks, EagleCouncil.com.
00:08:45.600
Go there. Bannon's coming. Navarro's coming. We got Jay Ashcroft, the young Missouri Secretary of
00:08:50.240
State. We'll do some celebrating what mostly going forward. Look, Phyllis Schlafly did just what you said,
00:08:54.960
Steve. It's not interesting to be right, to be sincere. None of that matters unless you succeed.
00:09:02.720
Get your gear together. Figure out how you can make a difference. General Flynn was on your show
00:09:07.760
last week announcing. I heard from people all over the country. They said General Flynn is going to
00:09:11.600
work a poll in Sarasota, I think, down in Florida. Figure out where you can make a difference. What
00:09:16.560
Phyllis would say is, be right, be sincere, be smart, but then go succeed. That's the polling places.
00:09:22.000
You go to EagleCouncil.com. We do some training, some solidarity, some fortification, but mostly
00:09:27.040
we look out a few, you know, six weeks, seven weeks to where to win. Then we can do a lot
00:09:31.360
more work. We got to work with a new house, new Senate, new school boards, but EagleCouncil.com.
00:09:35.760
Steve, we got, we've got about 50, we've got about 50 tickets for this. Talk about the event
00:09:41.360
quickly on Saturday. We want to pack the house and actually add more tables. Where do people go?
00:09:47.200
EagleCouncil.com. Saturday night, we got Bannon, we got Peter Navarro, a bunch of other folks.
00:09:52.800
Go to EagleCouncil.com right at the airport Marriott in St. Louis. It's modestly priced,
00:09:57.920
$50 to come for the event, a VIP event beforehand. So EagleCouncil.com, Saturday, September 17th. By the
00:10:04.400
way, anniversary of the Constitution, we'll have some of the families of the January 6th prisoners,
00:10:09.760
and we'll be talking about that too, because that's a, that's one of the great affronts of this time
00:10:13.840
also. Ed, real quickly, what's your social media? How do people follow you personally?
00:10:20.240
At Eagle Ed Martin is on Twitter, Facebook, it's Ed Martin Live, and over on Gab and all the rest,
00:10:25.440
it's Ed Martin. Just go to Ed Martin. I'm out there on Truth also. Ed, thank you for joining us today
00:10:31.600
in teeing this up. I want to bring in John Tamney from Real Clear Markets. John, you've had the
00:10:37.280
chance to go through the Biden plan, but I want to tie it back to what Ed Martin just said,
00:10:44.240
that people in the country understand something's not right, and what they want to do is just get
00:10:47.360
ahead for their family. They want to be able to not just put food on the table. They want to increase
00:10:51.280
their net worth. They want to get some wealth. They want to have, stay ahead of inflation. How does that,
00:10:57.680
for the little guy and for the middle class, what does the Biden-Harris plan, economic plan,
00:11:04.400
give them, sir? It doesn't give them much of that at all. As we discussed before the show,
00:11:11.120
the goal is to increase spending, increase the government's footprint. Well, so all that means
00:11:15.840
is that Nancy Pelosi, and I would add Mitch McConnell and some Republicans too, will control
00:11:21.760
the resources in the economy instead of the free market. It can't be stressed enough that
00:11:27.440
entrepreneurs can't start businesses. Small businesses can't be given flight if government's
00:11:33.680
consuming all the wealth, and so this notion that they're going to help the little guy by putting more
00:11:39.120
control in Washington, it's just not a serious way of explaining an economy, and people will hopefully
00:11:44.880
see right through it. What is, what is, it's all centralized. Everything they're talking about,
00:11:51.520
and they've just passed, remember they passed the American Recovery Act, I think at a million,
00:11:56.080
1.9 trillion. They then passed this, this grab bag infrastructure bill at 1.2 trillion. Then they came
00:12:04.000
in late with the mini build back better at I think 800 billion. So they're up over what, almost three,
00:12:09.760
over three trillion dollars of spending. It's all centralized, and it's all for these sectors
00:12:16.000
that are kind of, not just ill-defined, but you really don't, you read their plan, you can't make
00:12:21.120
hide nor hair of it. There's a bunch of jargon in there, but you really don't see where they're going
00:12:25.440
to apply the capital. Am I incorrect there? It's just some centralized, almost like a centralized hedge
00:12:30.080
fund or venture capital fund. And really, when has central planning ever worked? Let's talk,
00:12:36.240
this is three trillion dollars. What was Bill Clinton's last budget in 19, or in 2000? It was
00:12:41.840
1.8 trillion. And so just in this, with these, as you point out, just new spending bills, they've
00:12:48.880
eclipsed Clinton's spending during that time. Is that going to grow the economy? Does it grow the
00:12:53.680
economy if the federal government is the allocator of resources? We know this from the 20th century.
00:13:00.160
There's no mystery here. The more central planning is, the more command and control there is,
00:13:04.320
the less growth is, the less, the less dynamism there is, the fewer new startups. And so, of course,
00:13:10.080
this is going to be a wet blanket on the economy. And again, I think voters broadly see through it.
00:13:14.960
They've never voted for big government in this country because we descend from people who wanted
00:13:20.960
not security, but opportunity. And so they're not going to go for this.
00:13:26.240
Let me ask you, you've got, you've got inflation now, you know, real incomes have dropped, I think,
00:13:33.060
16 or 17 consecutive months under Biden. They just announced the other day that we've had the
00:13:38.660
greatest drop in wealth of Americans. I think $2.6 trillion in the second quarter. Biggest drop
00:13:46.180
ever. That wasn't even including in the real estate. They hadn't marked the market of the real estate yet.
00:13:50.420
That was basically just stocks and bonds. How can, when you look at their plan, that they address
00:13:56.740
this twin problems of both inflation and this continual of just crushing value and really net
00:14:05.300
assets, net worth of the American people. Because the American family right now is getting at both
00:14:09.220
ends. Their real incomes are dropping every month and their net worth is dropping every month. And we
00:14:15.460
haven't even factored in the fact of what's going to happen in this crash of the real estate market is
00:14:19.700
going to come up. So John Tamney, give me your assessment of that.
00:14:25.300
Well, they're not even addressing inflation. And to be fair to the Democrats on this,
00:14:30.180
neither party has addressed inflation all of the 21st century. I've known you since I'm trying to
00:14:35.940
think around 2008. And we've been talking about the dollar during all that time. The last two
00:14:41.780
presidents to address the dollar were Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, a Republican and a Democrat.
00:14:46.900
Let's go back in history. John F. Kennedy had it drummed into his head by his father growing up
00:14:52.500
that you do not leave dollar price stability. It's the most important price in the world is the
00:14:57.940
dollar. Republicans and Democrats ignore it. And so in ignoring it, they are ignoring inflation.
00:15:03.460
If there's inflation, and I believe what we're experiencing right now are higher prices born
00:15:08.340
of the lockdowns. I think these are the after effects of the hideous lockdowns. I don't call this
00:15:13.460
inflation. Inflation is a devaluation of the currency, but neither Joe Biden's not discussing
00:15:19.140
the dollar. Republicans refuse to discuss it. It's the most important subject simply because
00:15:24.100
Americans earn dollars. And when the dollar's price is unstable or when it's being devalued,
00:15:29.620
Americans see the value of their work being taken from them by stealth. But it's not
00:15:34.740
stealth. They know it's happening. At some point, some party is going to pick this issue back up,
00:15:41.060
as Ronald Reagan did back in 1980. Let me ask you, you've got, they just put in an emergency
00:15:48.500
measure for $47 billion in front of Congress for them to address when they come back starting
00:15:55.860
tomorrow. Most of that is spent on more COVID relief, more COVID research, monkey pox in Ukraine.
00:16:04.580
In addition, we've got the end of the fiscal year that takes place in two weeks. There's no
00:16:09.300
appropriations bill. There's nothing been approved. There's still far from, there's no open hearings.
00:16:14.180
There's still far from a deal. We're going to have to continue resolution. We know, and Biden
00:16:19.460
never wants to address this in the plan, but we know if you look at the plan and just add it up,
00:16:24.020
besides all the $3 trillion of kind of off the book spending, they've gotten approved.
00:16:30.340
We're looking at another $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion deficit, discretionary spending deficit
00:16:36.420
that taxes and fees don't pay for, because that basically pays for transfer payments right now,
00:16:42.180
even a little underwater for that. So John, just given the events we've got,
00:16:49.220
plus the debt ceiling that is coming upon us two weeks after the election, the fiscal,
00:16:54.420
fiscal, not just the monetary, but the fiscal irresponsibility of this administration and
00:16:58.580
the uniparty. What's your assessment of that? It's dangerous on its face, because as you described,
00:17:04.660
there's a lot of spending on the way, but think about what that signals about the future.
00:17:09.940
Pathogens are a part of life. They will exist as long as mankind exists. Look at the precedent we're
00:17:17.300
setting that every time some new virus that we logically don't understand at inception starts
00:17:24.260
spreading, that the role is for the federal government to massively expand its footprint and
00:17:30.500
massively expand its power over the individual to do what he or she would like to do. Let's never
00:17:37.620
forget that we, the individuals are the marketplace and our freedom is crucial at all times, but it's
00:17:44.340
most crucial when something like a coronavirus is spreading because we learn from our actions
00:17:50.180
how to avoid it, how to get it, if that's our goal, to achieve immunity. There's all sorts of things,
00:17:55.220
how business should operate in this new environment. With government stepping in the way,
00:17:59.860
it's not just consuming precious resources. It is stepping on the marketplace that would lead us
00:18:07.940
most quickly to an answer to society's many vexing questions. And so I think it's much bigger than the
00:18:14.260
spending. We are on a dangerous path that every time, oh, we have to come up with a cure first
00:18:18.420
before you get your freedom back, some kind of vaccine. This is not, we didn't come here for
00:18:22.580
security. We came here for freedom and we're trampling on the freedom.
00:18:28.180
Let me go back to, because real clear markets, you know, we talk to our audience every day about
00:18:32.820
going there and looking at all the links that you put up. If having assessed this Biden plan,
00:18:38.500
which is really not a plan, it's kind of a, it's kind of a, uh, a laundry list of things
00:18:42.340
they've accomplished and other money they want to spend. What would be your counter? Because the
00:18:46.820
Republicans, the one thing I noticed in economic policy, besides us hammering on the Fed all day
00:18:52.420
long and talking about dollar price stability, the Republicans don't really have, it appears,
00:18:57.220
a coherent response to this Democrats really funding of a super state, right? That's in every aspect of
00:19:04.020
your life and monetize. And they've got this transition to a green new deal, but that's kind
00:19:08.580
of ill-defined. What would you think would be at least the framework for a free market capitalist
00:19:15.540
response to what Biden in this, uh, in, in really the administrative states putting forward as their
00:19:21.540
plan? Well, how about that? They didn't create any of the jobs that they claim they created in, in
00:19:27.220
this, in this, in this booklet, they put out what created the jobs. It was the end of the lockdowns.
00:19:33.780
Let's go back in time to February of 2020. If memory serves, the U.S. economy was booming
00:19:39.940
and stock markets were at an all-time high as we priced in the spread of a virus around the world.
00:19:46.900
A month later, 25% of the American people were out of work, not to mention hundreds of millions
00:19:52.580
rushing towards starvation around the world as a consequence of the U.S. taking a break from reality.
00:19:57.700
You think that job creation or jobs are up since we've been given our freedom back?
00:20:03.780
But where was Joe Biden on this issue? Joe Biden was against the end of the lockdowns,
00:20:09.620
was against the return of freedom to the very people who had made the nation in the first place.
00:20:14.900
And so for him to take credit for job creation is awe-inspiring for the, for, for the presumptiveness
00:20:22.100
of, of it. He had nothing to do with it. And so where's the loud reaction? What's the impact?
00:20:26.740
Where's the impassioned reaction from our side saying that, you know, freedom always works.
00:20:31.540
In a natural free world, there's always going to be abundant jobs and corporations and all sorts of
00:20:36.420
things that we love. But that it did not come from the taking of it back in 2020. And when
00:20:42.260
the taking of it that President Biden supported and wants more of.
00:20:48.580
I want to deal with two things before we go. Number one,
00:20:52.420
energy being the heart of this. Remember under President Trump, the reason we had all-time
00:20:55.620
high stock markets, low inflation, you had blue collar workers, greater wage increases than white
00:21:02.980
collar, non-college grades or college grades. One of the reasons he made a centerpiece of his
00:21:06.980
economic plan, not energy independence, but full-spectrum energy dominance, right? Wherever
00:21:13.700
you are, whatever that vector is, full-spectrum energy dominance. Did you see anything the Biden
00:21:19.220
plan, particularly on energy, that was more than just a fantasy about the transition to some sort of
00:21:24.740
solar or wind that could be 30, 40, 50, 60 years away or never? Did you see anything that addressed
00:21:31.380
the energy crisis here in the United States, sir? No, of course not. And you know me,
00:21:36.260
my preference is that there be no energy policy at all. I don't see how energy is different from
00:21:40.420
anything else. If people are free, it's going to show up to them at a good price or a reasonably
00:21:45.300
good price. But with Biden, it's never about less of a plan. It's about more planning. And that's my
00:21:53.060
frustration with this in the blueprint and print more broadly. Why is it that every time
00:21:57.700
Democrats in particular want to achieve something, we have to lose more of our freedom? And a perfect
00:22:04.020
example is in the case of energy. It's not a goal to give the people more ways, more freedom to
00:22:10.740
produce or different ways to get energy to the marketplace. It's about how we are the problem.
00:22:18.500
It's about how our energy consumption is harming the world. It's making the world less of a place,
00:22:24.420
how it's causing the world to be flooded. So in order for the world to be made better,
00:22:29.620
Americans must be impoverished. So no, of course, there was no plan at all. It's just a goal,
00:22:34.740
a stated goal, at least, to take away from those with the least so that the earth can be saved.
00:22:40.660
It's always about enhancing the power of government at the expense of the people. And so it strikes me
00:22:45.460
that it's an easy one to respond to, but I don't see a lot of muscular responses. I see a lot of
00:22:50.980
me-tooism from our side saying, oh, no, no, no, energy consumption doesn't cause global warming.
00:22:56.660
Well, wait a second. Let's assume for a second it does. In a capitalist system, we would come up
00:23:02.260
with advances to mitigate the effects of it. And I reject the notion altogether. But at some point,
00:23:07.060
Republicans need to stand up for the fact that energy consumption is a market act. People should
00:23:13.060
be free to engage in market acts. Let's go to finish. I want to go back to dollar price
00:23:20.740
stability and the whole issue of devaluation of currency and the politics of money. For Birch
00:23:25.780
Gold, I've been putting up this series of the loss of being the prime reserve currency,
00:23:31.140
the politics of money in the 19th century. What's your assessment of that? Give us a couple of minutes
00:23:35.540
on how do we get to dollar price stability? What would be the John Tammany take on this?
00:23:39.540
Well, I think it's kind of interesting that people forget this. And I've talked to you about
00:23:44.020
this because it was a major theme in a book that we both love, Robert Bartley's The Seven Fat Years.
00:23:48.980
Ronald Reagan ran on returning to a gold standard. Now, people can love or hate the gold standard,
00:23:54.820
but his broad point was that a currency that has commodity backing is a trusted currency.
00:24:01.780
And so it's very simple. We could solve dollar price stability between breakfast and lunch.
00:24:07.620
All you need to do is say that the dollar, that money per Adam Smith, its sole use is to circulate
00:24:14.180
consumable goods. We use money to move wealth around. And so logically it's stable. And so the
00:24:20.580
goal should be not for the government to control more money, but for government to just define it. If
00:24:25.940
it's going to issue a dollar, it should have stability as a measure, because in having a stability
00:24:31.380
as a measure, it means the Americans who earn dollars will not consistently see the value of
00:24:37.940
the dollars they earn erode such that they get less and less in return for their work. And so to me,
00:24:44.420
it's a politically grand thing. It's something that both parties historically have supported this notion
00:24:49.540
that people shouldn't have their wealth taken from them by currency stealth. And you could do it very
00:24:55.460
easily because just as we define a foot as 12 inches, as an ounce as 16 ounces a pound, you can
00:25:04.420
define the dollar in terms of something real. And the result would be very quick,
00:25:09.380
monstrous economic growth, because instead of investing in inflation hedges, Americans would
00:25:15.540
once again start investing in future wealth creation. It would be the greatest job creator in
00:25:21.460
history, the greatest driver of advancing history. And one of these days, one of the political
00:25:25.700
parties is going to embrace it. Bill Clinton did. He succeeded. Ronald Reagan did. He succeeded.
00:25:31.860
George W. Bush rejected dollar price stability. So did Jimmy Carter. They failed.
00:25:39.700
John, how do people get to you? Real Clear Markets know how to get there. How do the people
00:25:45.060
get to you and follow you? Yeah, you can find me at Real Clear Markets. You can find me at
00:25:49.380
freedomworks.org. I'm still on Twitter at John Tamney. You can also find me on Amazon. I've got
00:25:56.020
five books out. I've got my sixth coming out that I've told you about. It's titled The Money Confusion,
00:26:01.700
how illiteracy about currencies and inflation sets the stage for the crypto revolution. And so this is a
00:26:08.900
very short 41,000-word book that explains what money is, why people use it, and hopefully will bring
00:26:17.140
about a better conversation about money that's going to redound to all Americans simply because no one
00:26:22.500
benefits from a currency that is unstable, that's constantly losing value. What's the street
00:26:30.420
date? What's the publishing date of that book? It's October 18th.
00:26:34.340
October 18th. October 18th. We're going to do a big run-up to that book. John Tamney,
00:26:40.260
one of the smartest guys out there, the editor at Real Clear Markets. John, thank you for taking
00:26:44.500
apart the Biden-Harris plan, central planning to the nth degree. That's why it's such an epic fail.
00:26:50.980
Okay, short commercial break. We're going to return in the battleground. You've seen the populist

While COVID gets all the headlines, it's important to realize that heart disease kills nearly 700,000
00:29:05.220
Americans every year. Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year
00:29:10.340
out. Heart disease builds over time. Hypertension, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes,
00:29:15.380
all of it affects our heart. A healthy heart is key to being energetic as we get older. It is never too
00:29:23.300
early to take care of your heart. You see, heart disease sneaks up on us. You can start in your 30s,
00:29:29.700
and when this happens, you're at serious risk by the time you turn 60. If you want to take care

00:30:18.900
Okay, welcome back. I want to start with James Roguski. James, thank you for joining us. One of the
00:30:24.900
things I've really admired about you, I call you the, all along the watchtower, you are constantly
00:30:30.740
looking out of what's happening out of Geneva, World Health Organization, these others, for all
00:30:35.780
the games they're trying to play. You've been at the forefront of making sure we got on top of this
00:30:39.860
when they're trying to change regulations or trying to change rules. But there's an opening here that
00:30:44.660
you've identified everybody. We had you in the morning show, but I want to finish the day with saying,
00:30:49.220
hey, we got, what, 12 hours left or 13 hours left because I want everybody in the posse that
00:30:54.740
clearly has something to say to have a shot to do it at the time it should be done that we can
00:30:59.620
obviously collate things later afterwards. But walk people through, what is this? What are these 90
00:31:05.140
second videos? How important are those? And most importantly, how they get them done?
00:31:08.740
The timing is such that as we speak right now, it's almost one o'clock, 11 a.m. Eastern time
00:31:18.340
Tuesday is the deadline that takes the 5 p.m. Geneva time. So there's, you know, maybe 19 hours to go.
00:31:24.820
And the WHO is accepting that they set up a site on their page on their website where people can upload
00:31:33.780
or record a video. Please realize that you can pre-record and upload it. A lot of people don't
00:31:39.540
scroll down on their page far enough to be able to do that. But essentially they have made, in my mind,
00:31:45.380
the mistake of asking the world to let them know what we think. And you can create a 90 second video.
00:31:54.100
The question that they want to have is, you know, what should the WHO do, you know, internationally
00:32:00.340
to deal with the next pandemic? And quite frankly, that's a trick question wrapped up in a psychological
00:32:07.220
operation. They're framing the question. They want people to answer a specific question.
00:32:12.900
And what I've realized is that this is just a propaganda tool for the WHO. They're going to
00:32:22.980
believe that, you know, they can put this out there and people won't, you know, have time to know what's
00:32:28.340
going on. They'll have all kinds of their own people putting in, you know, glowing praises for
00:32:34.740
the WHO and so forth. They're going to compile them into two, three hour videos. And as of 11 a.m.
00:32:41.780
tomorrow morning, they're going to shut down their public comment. And I'm saying that's when we're
00:32:47.780
going to crank it up from today, right now on till the end of the month. I'm encouraging everyone to
00:32:54.820
not limit themselves to just 90 seconds like they want to have, you know, for the remainder of today
00:33:00.180
and tomorrow morning. Take 90 minutes. Take as long as you want to express your feelings about the WHO.
00:33:09.700
You can go to screwthewho.com. It'll give you all the information about sending your video to them or
00:33:17.140
to me and other groups. But you can also go to stopthewho.com to learn what they're up to because
00:33:24.020
they're currently, every member nation is submitting proposals along two tracks. One of the tracks is a
00:33:32.660
new pandemic treaty. And the other track is what they did earlier this year, trying to propose
00:33:39.700
amendments to the international health regulations. And frankly, that's the scarier one because they've
00:33:45.860
been very, very silent about that. And that could happen as early as next May. And so this is a
00:33:53.140
chance for people to speak, give public comment in the form of a video. If you go to screwthewho.com,
00:34:02.100
or if you call me and I'll give my number at the end of when we're talking because people call it
00:34:07.700
immediately and that'll mess up the transmission of what we're doing right now. But I'm here to answer
00:34:13.460
everybody's questions about the technology and, you know, doing your videos and helping you out.
00:34:18.580
But it's not going to end tomorrow when they say it ends. It ends, we say it ends.
00:34:26.820
I just want to make sure you're also tracking those two other items where they're trying to
00:34:30.740
change the regulations, they're trying to change the rules, they're trying to concentrate more
00:34:34.660
power to themselves. That's what you're principally on watch. This is a subset of that, correct?
00:34:40.100
Exactly. On stopthewho.com, all the information about the quote unquote pandemic treaty, which is
00:34:47.780
one track. The other track are amendments to the international health regulations. Long story short,
00:34:55.540
if the WHO had the power and the legal authority that they wanted, they wouldn't need having these
00:35:03.220
negotiations to change international law along those two tracks. They operate under Article 23 of
00:35:11.860
their constitution and they make the recommendations. But our government agencies and our people and our
00:35:18.580
media misinterpret the fact that they're just taught. They're just nothing but taught. But if you
00:35:26.180
misinterpret that as an obligation and think that you need to hand over your sovereignty to them and do
00:35:33.860
what they say, it's time to get better information because that is not the current situation.
00:35:40.980
By the way, after we take over the House, there are going to be massive investigations. You'll see
00:35:45.220
James testifying in front of Jordan and these guys because people are going to get to the bottom of this
00:35:50.820
of this whole nonsense of the WHO can dictate to the United States or work with Fauci and these guys to
00:35:55.540
do it. James, give your number and then one more time your social media.
00:36:00.260
And this is the time for people to take action. Go to screwthewho.com. All of the details are there
00:36:06.740
and you can call me directly at 310-619-3055. I'd be happy to help anybody understand what in the
00:36:14.900
heck the WHO is up to. By the way, James is a brave man giving his number out on the war room. So,
00:36:23.220
James, you're a patriot and a hero. Thank you for coming on. Well, since this morning, I've gotten a
00:36:28.260
bunch of phone calls. You know, I got to meet people right around the corner from me, in all seriousness.
00:36:32.900
Where I live, you know, they called just down the street. It's really pretty funny.
00:36:43.220
We got a couple of disturbing stories, a couple of disturbing stories, and then one
00:36:47.140
upbeat story of somebody from the precinct straight to get involved. But I got to go to
00:36:50.260
Colin McCoy from National File. Colin, thank you very much for joining us. I'm not sure I totally
00:36:57.300
understand the story because it's so over-the-top and bizarre. And I'm Irish, and that's why I try
00:37:04.260
to follow things that are happening in Ireland. What happened? Is this a teacher because of his,
00:37:08.900
I just want to make sure, this is a teacher because of his Christian beliefs would not call
00:37:13.380
people by their pronouns that his school demanded? And did he actually get put in jail? Is that what your
00:37:21.380
story is? Yes, Steve, you do have that right. Unfortunately, Enoch Burke is a teacher at the
00:37:29.300
Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath, Ireland. He was placed on administrative leave
00:37:34.980
first after questioning the school, which is a Christian school, by the way. It's an Anglican school
00:37:39.620
under the Church of Ireland. He questioned the policy where teachers and staff were required to
00:37:45.460
refer to students by whichever pronoun they prefer. And he brought this up at an anniversary meeting.
00:37:52.900
The school has been around for over 200 years. He brought this up with the principal. He objected
00:37:57.620
to it and said that he believes that adhering to the policy of calling students by their preferred
00:38:03.780
pronouns would violate his Christian beliefs. He was then placed on administrative leave. And not only that,
00:38:08.500
they filed a court order against him to prevent him from even stepping foot on the property.
00:38:13.780
So he continued to do it, arguing that the policy itself violates his religious beliefs, Christian
00:38:19.620
beliefs. And after that, a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. He was taken to a prison in Dublin
00:38:26.420
last Monday. And he's still there. He was in court again today, actually, challenging the legality of
00:38:32.260
the court's policy or the school's policy. But that was thrown out by the judge. He's due back in court
00:38:38.420
on Wednesday. And this is a contempt charge. So at any point, he could purge his contempt and say he
00:38:44.420
was wrong, or that's what the court and the school wants him to say. They want him to go back on it and
00:38:50.020
say that he would adhere to the policy. He has refused to do that. He is standing up for his beliefs,
00:38:56.100
and he's willing to take some jail time in order to do that.
00:39:02.180
Colin, this is what? This is one of the oldest, over 20 years old, revered school in all Ireland.
00:39:10.020
The Church of Ireland, just for our audience, is the equivalent of the Church of England. It's the
00:39:13.300
Episcopal or Anglican Church. This is a revered school in that religion, in the kind of official
00:39:21.060
Christian faith. How could they possibly take a faculty member who said, because of my Christian
00:39:27.140
belief, I don't believe in this? How could they put him on administrative leave, much less actually
00:39:33.460
want him, serve him to make sure he doesn't come back on campus and see this guy go to jail? That's
00:39:39.220
what boggles. Look, the first part's bad enough. But when you describe the whole thing, how can a
00:39:44.500
revered Christian institution be doing this, sir? Well, I think it's just a continuation of
00:39:52.580
something that we're seeing across society, where the whole Marxist, leftist push for all these things,
00:40:00.580
like pronouns and whatnot, it's part of a civic religion. It's basically like a civic orthodoxy,
00:40:06.740
and it affects the Catholic Church. It affects the Anglican Church. We've had bishops and cardinals in
00:40:13.460
the US who have called for the Catholic Church to amend its beliefs on LBGT teachings and
00:40:20.980
transgender ideology. And we see it in Western Europe. And it's especially pronounced in Ireland,
00:40:27.700
where it's a historically very Catholic country with a high rate of church-going families.
00:40:34.660
They were opposed to abortion. They were opposed to gay marriage. And within the past 15 years,
00:40:39.220
much like the US, that has completely reversed. And I think it speaks to just how overwhelming the
00:40:48.820
pressure is to stand up against these things, not even just in secular society, but we're now starting
00:40:54.580
to see it in religious circles, where a supposed Christian school will place a teacher on administrative
00:41:03.620
leave for going against or just upholding beliefs that are outlined in the Bible.
00:41:11.060
So it is very disturbing. It shows just how relentless it is. But it's such an intriguing
00:41:19.700
story because Enoch Burke is seemingly really taking a stand here. He could just go back on it,
00:41:26.820
and this whole thing could end for him today, but he's choosing not to. He's choosing to stand up.
00:41:31.700
And this is really shining a light on how far these policies have gone. I mean,
00:41:36.740
we look at 10 years ago, and Barack Obama was afraid to even, or he wouldn't even publicly
00:41:42.740
back gay marriage. Now you have schools where they not only have preferred pronouns,
00:41:48.340
but administrators will email teachers. The most recent example of this I saw in Mentor,
00:41:53.220
Ohio, they have a policy. And I know here in the Philadelphia area, I know the Rose Tree Media
00:41:58.100
school district, the Haverford school district have policies like this, where if students want
00:42:02.260
to be referred to by a certain pronoun, the schools not only have to adhere to that, but they're not
00:42:07.860
even allowed to tell parents. So it's become such a religion among the left that they believe it's,
00:42:15.780
they have a moral obligation to tell these kids what they can do or what they can transition to or refer
00:42:22.900
themselves to, regardless of what their parents believe or their parents' religious beliefs.
00:42:30.500
Is this story catching on in Ireland like it is here in the United States? Is he becoming a hero
00:42:35.620
for standing up for this? Or is this just not in the public mind? Or is it the opposite? Are people
00:42:41.300
saying that this guy's cruel, this guy's a bully?
00:42:44.420
Well, I guess it really depends on who you ask. The press has been hitting him pretty hard. The
00:42:50.740
Irish Times and the mainstream outlets in Ireland have been against him. It's the same as it is here
00:42:57.380
in pretty much the entire West. These outlets are very against this sort of thing. They're very in
00:43:03.700
favor of the new civic religion. So he's been getting ripped apart in the press a fair amount,
00:43:09.140
but there have been protests outside the prison, Mount Joy Prison in Dublin. His brother Isaac Burke,
00:43:15.940
Enoch Burke represented himself in court today. His brother was co-counsel. Isaac Burke has been
00:43:22.260
pretty vocal in spreading the word about this. It does seem to be catching on. I mean,
00:43:26.420
the longer this goes on, we're going on day seven now. The court's going to revisit this matter on
00:43:31.780
Wednesday. But it's possible that he could be in there for a long time. He could be in there for weeks,
00:43:36.820
months. It's however long he chooses to refuse to purge his contempt and basically give the school
00:43:46.740
and the courts what they're looking for here, which he believes violates his religious conviction. So
00:43:54.580
it seems to be catching on. But I mean, the Queen news cycle is pretty prevalent over there,
00:44:03.060
the whole world right now. So that seems to be taking some of the oxygen out of it.
00:44:06.500
Well, we're going to be all over. I know National File is, how do people get to you? Reporting is
00:44:11.060
unbelievable. We love the National File. Tell us how people can track you down and follow the story.
00:44:17.380
We definitely appreciate that, Steve. National File, we are on just about every social media.
00:44:22.420
They banned us from YouTube, but you can find us on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Rumble, Instagram,
00:44:28.740
Telegram. And we definitely have a lot of coverage of these types of stories, particularly in the U.S.
00:44:37.700
We have a lot more stories like this regarding the pronoun policies coming out in the next few weeks.
00:44:44.180
Nice. It's unbelievable. Real quickly, your own personal social media, how do people track you down?
00:44:49.780
You can find me at Colin McHugh. I'm on Twitter and Gab for the most part. But yeah, at Colin McHugh.
00:45:00.100
Colin, tell Nolan the guys, great job over there. Fantastic work. National File, Colin McHugh.
00:45:04.340
I want to go to, let me go to Sloan Rockman. Sloan, this would be no surprise to you and to the moms
00:45:11.860
down there in North Carolina, the Tar Heel State that are fighting every day. I mean, this story blows
00:45:16.500
people's heads up. We talk about what's happening in Ireland, but you're seeing this up close and
00:45:20.100
personal. Tell us what's going on, particularly PAC money coming in and supporting. This agenda is so
00:45:26.180
radical, so dangerous to our children and to our families. Tell us what's going on in the Tar Heel State.
00:45:31.140
Yeah, it's absolutely terrible. I mean, Colin is a tough act to follow. And I know Noel and all
00:45:36.260
the guys at National File, they do a great job of breaking these stories. But you're right. This is
00:45:42.420
no surprise to us. We're in this all day and every day at Ed First Alliance. Our PAC is dedicated to
00:45:47.860
getting America First candidates elected all up and down the ballot. We know the Senate race is very
00:45:53.460
important here with Ted Budd. So is US House race one in 13. But look, our state house, I mean,
00:45:59.620
we've got to get the supermajority here because we've got one of the most woke governors that you'll
00:46:05.620
ever encounter, and that would be Roy Cooper. So we've got to take care of all that. So we've paid
00:46:11.780
meticulous attention to the special elections that have gone on here in this state and across the country.
00:46:18.260
And we've seen this, Steve, that the Republicans who back away or run away really from exposing this
00:46:25.860
traverse dystopian future that the Democrats and the left have for our children, those candidates lose.
00:46:32.900
That's why we need every Republican to seize the agenda and stay on messaging. So all the Republican
00:46:41.300
candidates out there and their campaign surrogates, they need to ask Democrats the following things.
00:46:46.260
Number one, how exactly is it that girls and women benefit from competing against boys
00:46:53.140
on the athletic teams? Number two, how come it is that girls and women are no longer able to have
00:47:00.260
their own public restroom showers or changing rooms? How about number three, explain please, Democrat
00:47:08.100
candidate, why showing children pornography is going to help the literacy crisis that's plaguing
00:47:15.220
school after school in this country? And finally, Steve, this is something you and I talked about
00:47:20.100
earlier, is how are you, candidate or opponent, how are you going to protect children from the
00:47:27.380
neutralization and sterilization movement brought to us by these child grooming lobbies? And if Republicans
00:47:35.780
can do that, Steve, they're going to win and they're going to win bigly.
00:47:39.380
Okay. I want to go back. You said child grooming lobbies. Now that's going to make people's heads
00:47:45.940
blow. Be specific. What are you talking about? And it takes a level of courage, ma'am, to stand up
00:47:51.780
and go against this because you're going to be, you're going to be thrown at your country club.
00:47:54.740
You're going to be called, you know, a mean person. But when you say grooming lobbies,
00:47:59.460
what do you mean by that? Because I can see already media matters in, in, in going into the, uh,
00:48:04.580
going into high overdrive that, you know, we've got another one of these crazy moms on here
00:48:08.820
that are just throwing out, uh, you know, unsupportable, uh, vitriol.
00:48:14.980
Well, I'm glad you asked for clarification. This isn't just hyperbole. Let me give you the prime
00:48:19.540
example here in North Carolina. Uh, it's called equality in sea and it, their pack. Okay. It presents,
00:48:28.020
uh, you know, money coming in, et cetera, and they're entitled to do that. And we get it.
00:48:32.260
The real danger here are the lobbyists that they have put in at the state house. They have put a
00:48:39.220
team of lobbyists in, in North Carolina. And as you know, lobbyists have an inordinate amount of
00:48:46.580
budget and time that they can spend with every lawmaker. And they do hitting them up for things
00:48:53.300
like opposition, uh, to safeguards. For instance, one, a court case just came up where now in North
00:49:02.020
Carolina, the, uh, state employees, all of their sex change operations have to be paid for and their
00:49:10.260
children with our taxpayer dollars. So this is something that equality in sea has lobbied,
00:49:16.180
um, you know, all of our politicians for when they couldn't do that, Steve, they went the judicial
00:49:21.300
route and now they're using the court for activism. Another thing that they've done is worked on our
00:49:26.580
Republicans, uh, the, uh, women in sports act that we sought to pass last April. Well, they worked on
00:49:34.100
our, uh, uh, speaker pro tem 10 more so hard that he even came out and said, yeah, we're not going to
00:49:40.500
protect girls and women from having boys play against them on our sports team because there's
00:49:45.860
not really a problem yet. Well, we know that that's because this powerful lobby has been working these
00:49:52.020
guys over and their staff. Don't forget day after day after day. Now this equality in sea,
00:49:57.700
let's get back to this ghoulish practice of, uh, utilization and sterilization. Equality in sea
00:50:04.340
is going to be, um, keynoting and helping sponsor a conference. I believe it's next month or the month
00:50:10.820
after here at wake forest medical school on such things as how, yeah, I mean, this is a venerable
00:50:18.660
organization. Sloan, Sloan, we, we got a heart out. Uh, we're going to be back at 10 o'clock
00:50:24.580
tomorrow real quickly. What's your social media? How do people get to your site to find out more
00:50:28.580
about this in the Tar Heel state? Funny you should ask, but you told me that it was coming.
00:50:33.060
Facebook is in the process of kicking me off. So you can find me on Twitter for now. It's
00:50:37.540
Rackmouth and at Ed first and see, but our telegram channel, it is hopping education. First Alliance,
00:50:44.260
hit us up. You we've got to all stand for our children.
00:50:50.740
Sloan Rockbent. Thank you very much. Tough fight down there in woke Carolina, but fight on.
00:50:56.020
See you back here tomorrow morning in the war room at 10 AM. We will be four
