00:00:00.000 This is what you're fighting for.
00:00:17.680 I mean, every day you're out there.
00:00:20.380 What they're doing is blowing people off.
00:00:23.840 If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:26.220 then the oppressors, the authoritarians get total control.
00:00:30.000 And total power.
00:00:31.860 Because this is just like in Arizona.
00:00:33.660 This is just like in Georgia.
00:00:34.860 It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:37.700 and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
00:00:39.940 That's why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:42.240 As we've told you, this is the fight.
00:00:44.140 All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:48.080 War Room Battleground.
00:00:49.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:51.880 I strongly support the notion that Democrats,
00:00:59.200 as the Steering and Policy Committee has done this week,
00:01:03.500 should be able to put forward its slate of committee assignments,
00:01:08.980 which includes Representative Ilhan Omar for Foreign Affairs,
00:01:13.580 and that should be accepted by House Republicans.
00:01:17.600 As a child who survived war, lived in a refugee camp,
00:01:24.620 I would have never imagined that I would one day have the opportunity
00:01:28.220 to serve on a subcommittee on Africa, global health, and global human rights.
00:01:34.320 I would not have believed that I would one day not just serve
00:01:38.840 as the first African-born member of Congress,
00:01:42.240 but on a committee that oversees policies towards the continent.
00:01:47.100 Kevin McCarthy's purely partisan move to strip us from our committee
00:01:51.780 is not only a political stunt,
00:01:54.440 but also a blow to the integrity of our democratic institution
00:01:58.560 and threat to our national security.
00:02:02.580 Okay, welcome back.
00:02:03.860 Thursday, 26 January, year of our Lord, 2023.
00:02:07.060 Thank you for the second hour here of the War Room,
00:02:09.400 our late afternoon, early evening show.
00:02:11.700 We're going to pivot, and I want to talk about some congressmen.
00:02:17.280 We're going to get to Ruben Gallego and Don Bacon in a minute
00:02:23.480 with Frankie Stokes of the National File.
00:02:26.420 We've got Natalie Winters here to talk to us.
00:02:29.060 Also, I'll have Matt Brainerd about the RNC.
00:02:31.460 Also, we're going to discuss everything that's going on in the weapons procurement
00:02:35.780 in the massive ripoff in Ukraine, also the war strategy over there.
00:02:40.100 I've got to start, though.
00:02:42.020 Something that's heated up and kind of even a new development as we come to air.
00:02:46.440 We've asked Royce White to join us.
00:02:49.000 Royce ran in a primary out to unseat Omar.
00:02:52.740 Now there's a couple of Republicans have come forward, I think Nancy Mace in Sparts of Indiana
00:03:01.040 have come forward and said they're not going to vote for this.
00:03:04.600 This takes a whole vote of the House.
00:03:07.320 You ran against her, and you ran a pretty tough campaign, Royce.
00:03:11.700 Tell the audience your thoughts on Ilhan Omar,
00:03:14.680 and if we couldn't remove her at the ballot box, 0.99
00:03:18.000 is it appropriate in your thinking that she should be removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee, sir?
00:03:27.700 100%.
00:03:28.180 I mean, the day she went to Kashmir or to Pakistan and to Kashmir without any type of jurisdiction
00:03:38.140 or any type of support from the State Department,
00:03:44.540 she put the entire nation's national security at risk.
00:03:49.340 And outside of that, she shows no allegiance to the integrity of this country's safety or anything else.
00:03:55.360 The only reason she would be put on this committee is to capitulate to giving this country's security away.
00:04:06.120 One of her comeback points is that she's particularly informed.
00:04:13.060 She's perfect to sit on foreign affairs because of her time as a refugee, 1.00
00:04:18.540 coming from a war-torn country, living in refugee camps.
00:04:22.180 She has a special set of perspectives that she brings to this.
00:04:29.420 One, do you think that's a legitimate argument?
00:04:31.860 And what do you think folks in her district think, sir?
00:04:37.220 I think the folks in her district have no clue how the global affects the local.
00:04:41.320 And I think that that could be said for a lot of people across the entire country
00:04:47.160 and on the Republican side as well.
00:04:50.060 Yeah, she does have a special set of skill sets and perspectives. 0.97
00:04:53.480 They're globalist skill sets and perspectives.
00:04:55.800 She's a puppet of the globalist establishment. 1.00
00:04:58.140 So she knows she can operate very well in that context
00:05:01.200 because she serves as a puppet in that way in her political position here in Minnesota. 1.00
00:05:06.300 And on the world stage in this entire political theater, that's who she is.
00:05:10.000 So she feels perfectly comfortable putting her resume out there in that way.
00:05:14.300 But it has nothing to do with the safety of this country,
00:05:17.300 the prosperity of this country, or the security of this country at all.
00:05:21.100 It's about her.
00:05:22.540 And it's about this sort of metropolitan, omnisexual, transhuman movement
00:05:28.000 that they can use a black woman or a refugee or a Somali
00:05:32.340 or interracially married or whatever it is to justify the whole scam.
00:05:40.000 So we've had a couple of shots to make that argument at the ballot box
00:05:43.940 and to make it with people of the district there in Minneapolis.
00:05:49.060 And for better or for worse, that's failed.
00:05:52.560 I mean, she's been reelected.
00:05:54.180 Do you think those issues and people putting forward her anti-Semitism,
00:05:59.780 what she said about Israel, people putting forward,
00:06:02.820 although I don't think they put it forward in a formal setting,
00:06:05.260 this issue about her immigration status and the situation with her brother?
00:06:10.040 Do you think, since the people of Minnesota and Minneapolis have had a chance
00:06:15.240 to weigh and measure that, and they have continued, they've sent her back
00:06:19.800 understanding some of these issues were out there,
00:06:22.380 do you think that rises to the level that McCarthy ought to put this to a vote
00:06:27.620 to the entire House to remove her?
00:06:29.220 It's very different.
00:06:29.780 Her case is different than Solwell in Shifty Shift.
00:06:34.640 Those have to do with security clearances, intelligence, et cetera.
00:06:38.460 This is the removal, just like MTG, with her controversial views.
00:06:43.300 Do you think this is tick for tat, or do you think this is actually something
00:06:47.800 that should be put to a vote when her own constituents knew most of this
00:06:52.640 at the time they voted for her, sir?
00:06:54.000 Well, I'm, you know, I'm a populist to boot, but when it comes to matters
00:07:01.980 of national security, we have to first acknowledge that the common sense
00:07:11.060 from the wide-body populists has been corrupted at the highest level,
00:07:16.460 at the deepest level, by the media industrial complex
00:07:19.620 and all the other vested interested parties.
00:07:22.580 So, first, I don't even think the voters of Minnesota or CD5 who sent her back
00:07:28.680 have a good grasp on any of these issues.
00:07:31.460 I mean, any of these issues.
00:07:33.920 The two top issues in Minneapolis were public safety and, you know, climate change.
00:07:43.320 I mean, you know, that speaks values.
00:07:45.460 And then later on, that was early on in the election cycle,
00:07:48.460 but later on, obviously, it became more centered around Roe v. Wade.
00:07:53.720 But, you know, these other greater considerations around foreign affairs,
00:07:58.740 around globalism, around economics, none of that stuff is the common purview
00:08:03.060 of the people, the voters there in her district.
00:08:05.500 So I don't think we've had a fair shot to vote down Ilhan Omar or not.
00:08:11.820 And like you and I discuss all the time,
00:08:13.740 a lot of that in large part is due to the Republican establishment.
00:08:17.320 I mean, I was railroaded by the establishment in the primary by Cicely Davis.
00:08:21.400 Who is she? 0.99
00:08:22.060 Who are these people?
00:08:23.140 They're the same people.
00:08:24.840 Cicely Davis is Ilhan Omar.
00:08:26.600 So we would have had a loss either way if she had gotten in. 0.89
00:08:29.540 And that's the cold-hearted truth.
00:08:31.360 Do you think that, so in your mind, if she was on the Agriculture Committee
00:08:39.420 or the Climate Change Committee or the Small Business Committee,
00:08:43.540 you don't have a beef with that?
00:08:45.540 It's about her being on foreign affairs, given some of the things against her?
00:08:50.640 Or do you think she ought to be on no committees,
00:08:53.440 like they threw MTG off all the committees?
00:08:56.300 Look, I think Ilhan Omar is working for an interest
00:09:01.260 that has nothing to do with the American people.
00:09:03.420 She shouldn't be on any committee.
00:09:04.680 But she certainly shouldn't be on any foreign affair committee.
00:09:07.900 That is beyond unacceptable, to say the least.
00:09:14.060 Well, I have got you.
00:09:15.180 I want to go to two other topics.
00:09:17.060 One, there's a story out today about Kamala Harris.
00:09:19.120 You and I have talked about this a lot.
00:09:20.480 You've made this point both on other podcasts,
00:09:23.400 your own writings, and on The War Room.
00:09:26.300 About Kamala Harris and difficulty with Kamala Harris,
00:09:30.500 having black men buy into her program,
00:09:35.080 either as VP or even potential president.
00:09:37.500 Your thoughts?
00:09:39.380 Well, first of all, I want to say that we will never win another election
00:09:43.820 if we don't win the black and Hispanic vote,
00:09:47.100 the black and Hispanic male vote.
00:09:49.220 Everybody out there who thinks there's some other path to victory,
00:09:52.720 they're kidding themselves.
00:09:53.880 It's delusional.
00:09:56.160 We have to change the hearts and minds of the black and Hispanic male vote, 1.00
00:10:01.780 Latino male vote.
00:10:03.660 It can be done.
00:10:05.180 It can be done.
00:10:05.900 And we're already seeing that the impulse of the black man in America is shifting very quickly
00:10:12.760 because our interests are not aligned with this administration.
00:10:17.060 It's not aligned with this entire post-World War II democratic liberal order ethos
00:10:22.820 that's now turned into transhumanism and LGBTQism.
00:10:26.640 We see that it doesn't benefit the black man.
00:10:29.020 In fact, it's at the expense of the black man in many ways. 0.84
00:10:33.560 The only problem black men are truly having is that our outlook on politics
00:10:40.440 is largely predicated on a story we've been sold by the same establishment
00:10:45.680 that means to enslave us.
00:10:47.100 And in that, you know, our biggest problem are our institutions like the NAACP,
00:10:54.160 who were proto-communist institutions from the word go.
00:10:58.760 It doesn't matter if they supported Martin Luther King,
00:11:01.120 if they were there when the Civil Rights Act was passed.
00:11:02.900 None of that matters.
00:11:04.540 At bottom, the NAACP has always been a communist organization.
00:11:10.280 That's the reality.
00:11:11.420 Now, whether or not the black man understands the institutional corruption in the history 0.99
00:11:16.420 is something that needs to be worked out.
00:11:20.140 But that is where we have to start.
00:11:22.300 We have to—the black man has to hone in on which institutions
00:11:26.460 are perpetrating the corruption against the value of their citizenship
00:11:32.020 and their political position.
00:11:34.320 And Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are the top of the heap.
00:11:37.760 I mean, the only problem Kamala is having with getting the support of black men 1.00
00:11:42.760 is that we always fall behind the LGBT—first of all, technocracy, 0.99
00:11:47.080 the impulse towards global technocracy.
00:11:49.440 Then it's the LGBTQ. 0.99
00:11:51.400 Then it's women. 1.00
00:11:53.120 Then it's black women. 1.00
00:11:54.720 Then it's immigrant women. 0.91
00:11:56.220 Then it's trans women. 0.52
00:11:57.880 That's the problem they're having with the black male vote, 0.97
00:12:00.000 and they're not willing to change that.
00:12:01.800 So any conversation they're having about the black male vote
00:12:04.240 is just a way to appease, you know, some echo of criticism
00:12:10.820 that they've heard through the noise.
00:12:15.340 When would you expect to see that manifest itself?
00:12:19.440 If blacks and Hispanic men are the key to the future, let's say,
00:12:25.820 and when do you expect to see—or do you think the outreach—
00:12:30.280 and it's got to go along the lines of my next question about the Federal Reserve—
00:12:34.480 that people have to start speaking about the economic interest here
00:12:37.920 to get the attention of black men and Hispanic men?
00:12:42.320 Is this your contention?
00:12:43.580 And if that's it, what needs to be done?
00:12:46.000 And when will you see that manifested in poll numbers
00:12:48.600 that you would see some shift?
00:12:50.400 Well, the first thing I would say is that the Republican Party,
00:12:56.420 the Republican establishment, has to make a pathway for new voters to come in.
00:13:01.860 And in large part, the Republican establishment has served as controlled opposition
00:13:06.480 in this fashion.
00:13:09.720 They've let whatever amount of racial animus that still exists
00:13:16.260 or dividing lines that still exist
00:13:18.340 or the desire not to change the status quo along superficial dividing lines.
00:13:22.940 We've allowed that to keep us from wandering in to places that have a vote for us to get.
00:13:30.060 But we don't want it.
00:13:32.540 You've got to ask yourself why.
00:13:34.400 Why is the focus of the RNC or the National Republican establishment
00:13:40.180 not to go into these places and make their pitch
00:13:43.460 if they actually believe it's a better pitch?
00:13:45.540 And I think it is a better pitch.
00:13:47.260 The economic incentive is clear.
00:13:51.600 Not only the economic incentive, but the spiritual incentive,
00:13:55.080 the social incentive, the political incentive.
00:13:58.140 There's a bunch of open seats in the Republican Party right now for party officers.
00:14:02.780 Black men could fill it. 0.97
00:14:04.140 The Democrats aren't going to let a bunch of black men walk into the DNC 1.00
00:14:08.020 and start having a voice.
00:14:10.260 It's not even possible.
00:14:11.400 They don't even have the openings.
00:14:12.460 So all of the, you know, everything is there for it to happen.
00:14:18.800 Why aren't we doing it?
00:14:21.000 Where is the urgency?
00:14:23.380 We think there's another plan.
00:14:24.780 We think there's another route.
00:14:25.740 But there is no other route.
00:14:27.020 We saw that in Atlanta.
00:14:28.580 We saw that in the runoff.
00:14:30.140 The Democrats, the yuppie white liberal, suburban moms, the LGBTQ, 0.99
00:14:35.960 the Marxist professors, the black bourgeoisie, 0.53
00:14:39.200 the technocrats, the omnisexual, metropolitan, all of them lined up.
00:14:43.420 They raised $250 million for Herschel Walker.
00:14:47.840 The only thing you can do to combat that type of corporate, corporate political corruption
00:14:54.100 and American buy-in from the people is to have a spiritual change.
00:15:00.020 You mean raise the money for, you mean raise money for his opposition, not raise money for Herschel Walker.
00:15:06.260 Right.
00:15:06.580 For his race.
00:15:07.560 To defeat him.
00:15:08.400 For Senator Warner.
00:15:09.180 To defeat him.
00:15:10.220 Right.
00:15:10.440 Defeat him.
00:15:10.700 Yes.
00:15:11.080 They said defeat him for Warner.
00:15:12.180 They raised $250 million.
00:15:13.380 No, they put $250 million up on Herschel Walker's head.
00:15:19.440 Black man.
00:15:20.180 The only way you can defeat that is if you have a spiritual conversion, like a heart and mind conversion.
00:15:29.260 And yeah, the economics help you explain the matter, but we don't even want to go into those places.
00:15:35.140 We're like, oh, Atlanta's gone.
00:15:36.880 Oh, Minneapolis is done.
00:15:38.740 Oh, Philadelphia is done.
00:15:40.200 Well, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Atlanta are going to become everywhere else shortly.
00:15:44.520 That's the entire communist ethos is to spread.
00:15:47.360 Now, we were willing to accept that when we talked about the spread of radical Islam. 0.98
00:15:52.420 We're willing to accept that radical Islam means to spread as a strategy. 0.99
00:15:56.940 So does communism.
00:15:58.700 That's how this whole country was lost in the first place.
00:16:01.420 We have to pick up our Bibles, go out and spread a ministry and reach out to those young black men.
00:16:06.600 Where's our charity?
00:16:07.760 Where's our charity organizations?
00:16:09.220 Christian charity organizations.
00:16:11.280 Tell black men, hey, these people mean to enslave you because it's true. 1.00
00:16:15.840 Why would we not take the truth out on the road and try and recruit?
00:16:20.220 Maybe we don't want to win.
00:16:22.140 We want to win.
00:16:23.980 Maybe the RNC doesn't want to win.
00:16:26.040 Maybe McCarthy and some of these other people who are establishment Republicans don't really want to win.
00:16:30.000 I have to ask myself at night as a person who ran.
00:16:33.760 Who really wants to win and who doesn't?
00:16:35.880 I want to get you back on shortly for a more detailed go through of this, particularly with this RNC race, all the issues about that.
00:16:48.540 But before I let you go, I've got to ask you about when you talk about economic issues and the basic economic issues, this whole issue of debt ceiling spending, all of it.
00:16:58.040 There's a lot of discussion now that a couple of moderate Republicans, and we're going to talk about a guy named General Don Bacon here in a minute with Frankie Stocks, that a couple of moderate Republicans can team up with Democrats and to try to work something out on the debt ceiling.
00:17:15.940 What is your position since you've been at the forefront of singling out the Federal Reserve as one of the central problems in this country?
00:17:23.460 What is your current belief on the debt ceiling of Federal Reserve in this spending crisis we have?
00:17:30.260 We can't raise the debt ceiling a single cent.
00:17:32.840 It's just it's not it's it's it's actually a matter of national security.
00:17:37.640 And the reason why I say that is, you know, sure, we have the GDP and we can we can protect the debt.
00:17:45.940 And that's the one thing that people miss out on.
00:17:48.200 Our military is strong enough to protect the debt.
00:17:50.280 Nobody's calling in the debts except for the people who are actually working with those who mean to scam the American people for their tax money.
00:17:57.740 So they're calling in the debts and they're getting answers.
00:18:00.180 But if we want to tell all these people who we owe money to to go take a hike, we could do that.
00:18:03.860 We're strong enough to do that.
00:18:05.380 But that's not the point.
00:18:06.340 The point is the the overall the overall spirit of it says that the American working class citizen, the little guy and his money, his tax money, his citizenship, the value of his citizenship is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme for a bunch of elites. 0.67
00:18:22.940 And that is fundamentally un-American on a fundamental basis is un-American. 0.61
00:18:28.980 Now, we want to talk about the economy as a whole and the fact that we are putting the economy in danger or the case of going into a recession or all of these other things.
00:18:39.440 That's obvious.
00:18:40.500 But I'm talking about the spirit of it.
00:18:42.080 What does it say?
00:18:43.500 Says radical materialism.
00:18:45.560 It says you people are not really people to us.
00:18:48.720 You're just inventory.
00:18:49.500 That's not American. 0.92
00:18:52.260 There's nothing American about that.
00:18:54.460 The American people, the American working class citizens are not inventory.
00:19:00.780 They were bestowed inalienable rights by the one true God.
00:19:05.980 And a part of those rights are not to be scammed and used as cattle by a bunch of corrupt D.C. elites.
00:19:12.680 The debt ceiling can't go up a single penny.
00:19:19.500 Royce, I know you get a new podcast coming out.
00:19:22.340 I'll see your writings over in your Substack and all your social media.
00:19:25.180 How do people get to you and follow more of this?
00:19:26.900 Because you're going to be a big voice in this debt ceiling fight, sir.
00:19:30.680 You can follow me on Getter.
00:19:32.180 You can follow me on True Social.
00:19:33.740 You can follow me on – I'm still on all the other social media platforms for now,
00:19:37.500 although I was suspended from Twitter over the last three weeks probably about three, four times.
00:19:41.980 Obviously, Substack as well, and Free People Radio is set to launch January 6th.
00:19:48.160 We will be working with Getter to make sure all of that content is streamed
00:19:51.200 and that all of the Getter audience is informed.
00:19:53.520 We'll also have that content available on BitChute and Rumble 0.95
00:19:59.580 and the other platforms as well as all the podcast platforms.
00:20:03.780 So I'm really excited about that.
00:20:05.040 Is that February 6th?
00:20:08.740 You said January 6th.
00:20:10.980 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:11.860 That's a 40-inch slipper for sure.
00:20:15.500 February 6th.
00:20:17.120 February 6th will be launching Free People Radio,
00:20:21.000 and my podcast, Please Call Me Crazy, will be the launch on that day.
00:20:29.220 Royce White, honored to have you on here.
00:20:30.820 Thank you, sir.
00:20:31.580 Appreciate it.
00:20:31.940 Godspeed, brother.
00:20:32.700 Love you.
00:20:34.220 Thank you.
00:20:35.040 Love you, too.
00:20:35.920 Royce White.
00:20:36.860 Let's play a cold open.
00:20:38.120 We've got Frankie Stocks and National File.
00:20:39.920 Two more congressmen we want to talk about right here.
00:20:41.960 Let's go ahead and play the cold open and bring Frankie in. 1.00
00:20:44.100 Well, those are options right there, and we have to have those dialogue.
00:20:47.440 But our first primary focus should be to get the 20,
00:20:50.720 enough of the 20 over to win outright within the party.
00:20:54.060 But if that doesn't work, there are discussions that we could have
00:20:57.360 on committee ratios, rules changes, things like that.
00:21:01.780 And some of this could involve some Democrats voting present or not voting.
00:21:07.560 But those are the dialogue we're going to have to have at some point
00:21:10.560 if these 20 people refuse to be part of the team
00:21:14.060 and refuse to do what the voters ask them to do.
00:21:17.380 Now, right now, these 20 people think they're the only door
00:21:20.160 that we have to walk through.
00:21:22.120 At some point, we're going to have to present another door
00:21:24.120 and say, no, you're not the only game in town
00:21:26.360 and find a different way to get to 218.
00:21:31.900 So why then do you believe?
00:21:33.840 Because there are a number of Senate Democrats
00:21:35.840 who have been reluctant to embrace their candidacy.
00:21:38.340 Are you worried about that?
00:21:39.640 Are you worried about the reluctance on your party?
00:21:41.340 No, I have to focus on the voters of Arizona,
00:21:45.640 the people I've known forever, the people I've actually worked for
00:21:48.440 and will continue to work for, the people I'm going to go talk to this week,
00:21:52.280 starting in Tucson, ending up in White River, Arizona.
00:21:55.820 Those are the people that really matter.
00:21:57.220 But you're not happy about it, I'm sure.
00:21:59.040 You would prefer that they supported you.
00:22:01.320 Of course.
00:22:01.780 But look, let's be honest.
00:22:02.900 It's a very sticky situation.
00:22:04.520 You have a lot of members over there that have known each other forever.
00:22:07.940 It's a little insider's club.
00:22:09.220 They don't want to start messing around with their friends.
00:22:12.860 And we have time.
00:22:14.160 At the end of the day, what matters is I'm going to win
00:22:16.140 because the voters of Arizona want to vote for me.
00:22:18.400 Have you discussed your candidacy with Leader Schumer or Senator Gary Peters?
00:22:23.060 I mean, they run the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.
00:22:25.720 What did they tell you if you did speak with them?
00:22:28.500 We've been talking to them on a lot of other issues, a lot of legislative issues.
00:22:31.940 We'll always have open line of communications.
00:22:34.640 But we're not talking about this campaign, not at this point.
00:22:38.060 But we're not afraid to talk to anybody, and we'll be reaching out to them
00:22:41.760 and reaching out to all other political organizations.
00:22:43.840 They know we're a strong campaign we're running.
00:22:47.880 Okay, Frankie Stocks joins us. 0.99
00:22:49.960 Frankie, National File, you've been all over Davos.
00:22:53.860 You've been all over the World Economic Forum, globalism, all the globalists.
00:22:58.120 You've got two guys, Don Bacon there at first, who was the biggest voice going out during the five days
00:23:04.520 that changed America when the Magnificent Six dug in hard about removing the cartel head.
00:23:11.900 Speaker McCarthy, he was a guy going on TV all the time saying,
00:23:15.140 this has got to end, this is ridiculous.
00:23:17.080 He's now in the middle of the debt ceiling.
00:23:19.120 He's one of the guys, they're talking about a moderate.
00:23:21.140 I don't know how General Bacon is from Nebraska.
00:23:24.620 The district guy in Nebraska, I don't know how the folks in Nebraska have put this guy back in.
00:23:29.440 Gallego is now getting momentum.
00:23:31.320 That was the first day they were chopping up a little bit.
00:23:33.220 He's getting real momentum running against Kristen Sinema.
00:23:35.900 It's just a poll out.
00:23:36.800 I think he's at like 40% in a three-way race against Cary Lake and Sinema,
00:23:41.800 and Sinema's in the teens.
00:23:43.440 Here's what I don't understand.
00:23:45.460 You've been doing reporting on this, the Humpty Dumpty Institute.
00:23:49.800 I want you to explain what it is.
00:23:51.060 It's got money from Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein.
00:23:54.180 It's got some sketchy, shady guys on the board and the founders.
00:23:58.180 We're going to put a chart up in a second.
00:23:59.780 It may take CCP money.
00:24:02.260 And it's got a whole list of these Democrat and Republican on the Congressional Advisory Committee.
00:24:08.780 And we just picked out the two who are probably most prominent right now.
00:24:11.880 What is going on?
00:24:13.060 Who is this group?
00:24:14.360 What do they actually do?
00:24:15.720 And why would so many prominent politicians want to be associated with these characters from Epstein's brother to potentially the CCP and some other guys,
00:24:25.060 founders and it looks like donors who it's kind of hard to really figure out what they're trying to what they're trying to do.
00:24:31.340 Frankie Stokes.
00:24:31.980 You know, Steve, the Humpty Dumpty Institute, they've been they've been at this for over 20 years.
00:24:38.140 And they started out sort of peddling their influence and interjecting themselves into the into foreign policy discussions at the United Nations 20 years ago.
00:24:48.380 And since then, along with a lot of the other globalist radical left wing elements, they've shifted to China.
00:24:54.300 And they are in full league with the Chinese Communist Party, with the People's Liberation Army, with the Taihe Institute, which is basically Xi Jinping's version of the Council on Foreign Relations.
00:25:05.980 They're in they're in full league with these guys and they're they're peddling influence all over all over the world.
00:25:11.900 They've ensnared several members of Congress to who you just mentioned.
00:25:15.280 And interestingly enough, this week, another Humpty Dumpty Institute guy, Adam Schiff, announced for that he'd be running for Senate.
00:25:24.860 He was a Humpty Dumpty Institute congressional advisory board member, just like Bacon and Gallego, until just just a few years ago.
00:25:32.760 So this is a this is a group that's deeply penetrated Congress and they had they have deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:25:39.480 They make introductions of politicians all over the globe and they facilitate a China first agenda.
00:25:44.600 They're they're pushing the Belt and Road initiative.
00:25:47.340 Hang on. We want you to hold through the break.
00:25:50.240 But I got to ask you, is it a concern of yours?
00:25:52.580 You have a guy at Schiff that was basically the the the minority chair when under Paul Ryan and Nunez and then took over the intelligence community and or the committee and and led the president's impeachment.
00:26:07.280 Is that a big issue for him to be associated with something like the Humpty Dumpty Institute?
00:26:11.820 Absolutely, Steve, that should concern anyone.
00:26:13.600 I mean, this is a this is a group that is directly in league with the Chinese Communist Party, with its Taihe Institute, with the People's Liberation Army and its leadership has has engaged in in militaristic Maoist rituals with the with the People's Liberation Army on the Chinese mainland.
00:26:31.400 Since its founding, it was funded by by Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother.
00:26:36.500 This is a this is a shady organization is the only way to to describe it.
00:26:40.940 And and they have a number of congressmen under their influence.
00:26:44.040 Hang on for a second, take a short break.
00:26:47.640 Any group that's got Mark Epstein and President Xi as the financiers is going to be looked at hard.
00:26:54.380 OK, short commercial break back with Frankie Stocks from National File.
00:26:58.360 We got our own Natalie Winner is going to join us.
00:27:01.140 And of course, Dr. Bradley Thayer all next in the world.

00:31:40.080 Mark Epstein lent him $100,000 or donated $100,000 a couple of years ago.
00:31:44.040 You got all these other kind of sketchy individuals that have put money in or loaned money in.
00:31:48.480 But then you've got this very prominent institution directly associated with Xi in the Chinese Communist Party,
00:31:56.260 which I think has got to get anybody's attention, particularly when you have people like Schiff that was head of the Intelligence Committee.
00:32:03.480 You've got guys like General Bacon, a highly decorated Air Force general that now represents Nebraska,
00:32:09.620 has become a pretty prominent voice in the moderate wing of our party.
00:32:12.780 And you've got guys like Diego, who is going to be, you know, he's going to be a prominent player because he's taken on Sinema and maybe even Carrie Lake out in Arizona.
00:32:22.600 So, so, so walk us through, put this chart up and walk us through what are we looking at and what is this institute,
00:32:28.240 what's this group that's in the middle that you talk about and what's their relationship to Xi?
00:32:32.880 The Taihe Institute, they're functioning as Xi's, as Xi's Council on Foreign Relations.
00:32:39.080 They, they exist to spread Chinese communism and Chinese dominance throughout the world. 1.00
00:32:44.320 They are a direct arm of the People's Liberation Army and Xi's CCP.
00:32:49.740 They are even operating research centers, which are effectively Chinese military outposts,
00:32:56.600 Chinese philosophical military outposts in the United States and Germany.
00:33:00.640 And the Humpty Dumpty Institute's reporting directly to them.
00:33:04.480 And when they do, they're reporting to them how through their public-private partnerships all over the world and through their parallel influence groups,
00:33:12.960 how they are advancing the Chinese agenda, how they're creating Chinese opportunities for Chinese businesses,
00:33:20.020 Chinese state-owned, state-affiliated businesses.
00:33:22.560 They are reporting how the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative for CCP economic dominance is playing out.
00:33:29.220 And this is through their, their league of, of affiliations, through their personnel.
00:33:35.640 They are linked to FARC.
00:33:37.480 They're linked to terror, left-wing terror networks through South America.
00:33:41.940 They are linked back to the former Soviet Union.
00:33:45.480 This is a really, a really nasty group.
00:33:47.680 And they've twisted a seriously twisted web all over the globe.
00:33:51.600 And as we were speaking in the last segment, Bacon, Gallego, they're both acting as, as congressional advisors.
00:33:58.720 And Bacon actually went on a trip to Uzbekistan with the Humpty Dumpty Institute, where he met with their brutal president,
00:34:05.460 who, who is operating child slave labor camps in cotton fields under the threat of death.
00:34:11.740 And under the, this is a direct quote, the president of Uzbekistan says that when children and when farmers refuse to work,
00:34:17.780 he will strip the slate from their roofs.
00:34:20.360 He will take everything that they have.
00:34:22.580 He will destroy them, and he will give them the death penalty.
00:34:25.160 I mean, this is the brutal CCP-aligned leader that HDI is brokering meetings with, for Don Bacon.
00:34:33.420 Here, explain to the people, because they have, what's odd about them, they haven't raised a ton of money.
00:34:38.360 I mean, most of these organizations, as Natalie can tell you, are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars and spreading cash everywhere.
00:34:43.820 They're peculiar in the fact that they've never raised a ton of money.
00:34:47.280 And in fact, when Epstein's brother gave the $100,000, that was one of the bigger donations they had for that year.
00:34:53.420 Do they, why would they have prominent congressmen on a congressional advisory board if they really don't have the money to put to work?
00:35:00.900 Are these guys, do they do these partnerships?
00:35:03.540 Do they put deals together?
00:35:04.800 Do they sponsor trips for these congressmen overseas?
00:35:08.480 I don't see what the incentive is to have these prominent congressmen associated with something that, when you look at it, you look at your analysis, it just looks sketchy and kind of dangerous.
00:35:20.820 So what attracts these congressmen, do you believe, in your reporting to a group like this?
00:35:26.860 You know, HDI, they market themselves as a global middleman, as a global power broker, and they set up acquaintances, they set up meetings, they do facilitate trips all over the world.
00:35:41.380 So when they come in and they set up their congressional advisory board, they suddenly link this congressman up with interests all over the globe, whether they be business interests, whether they be political interests, whether they be any other form of intel interest.
00:35:57.260 You know, this is a group that, due to their PLA connections and their connections in Uzbekistan's foreign policy field, foreign policy sectors of their government, they definitely appear to have some very strange intel ties.
00:36:11.140 And with a national file with our partners of British Texan Research, we've we've really dug into this group and they are they are shady.
00:36:18.520 They've never raised a lot of money, but they've spread a lot of influence and they have manipulated a lot of foreign policy.
00:36:24.660 And they that's what they openly cast themselves as doing.
00:36:27.840 They they set it up and they let it play out.
00:36:31.580 They're used as a vessel sort of for their CCP tie hay overlords, so to speak.
00:36:36.780 Frankie, how do people get to you on social media, how do they get over to the national file to look at more of your reporting and particularly get that chart and make sure they go through it?
00:36:46.280 We're going to put it up all on our chat rooms.
00:36:49.140 How do they get to you?
00:36:51.160 Check out national file dot com.
00:36:53.060 We've got mountains of great reporting on the on the Humpty Dumpty Institute over there.
00:36:57.440 And you can find me on social media across platforms, Twitter, Getter, Gab, Truth Social at Stocks 76, S-T-O-C-K-E-S-7-6.
00:37:09.800 Frankie, I got to ask you before you go.
00:37:11.280 We had the Omar segment.
00:37:12.620 I know you've done a lot of reporting about Minneapolis.
00:37:14.740 What are your thoughts?
00:37:15.600 Quickly, give me your thoughts on Omar.
00:37:17.580 Should she be stripped of foreign affairs, sir?
00:37:20.500 Oh, I absolutely think that she should.
00:37:22.200 It is outlandish to me to have anyone who came from a terror ridden third world nation like Somalia on the on the on foreign policy commissions in the first place. 1.00
00:37:34.840 The ties there are just too great.
00:37:37.480 You throw in the married to brother issue, throw in the the practical Sharia colonization within her district. 0.81
00:37:43.720 And it is truly a national security risk.
00:37:46.340 I agree with with everything that Royce White had to say about it.
00:37:49.280 Frankie Stocks, thank you very much for joining us.
00:37:53.340 Appreciate it.
00:37:53.960 Keep up the good work.
00:37:55.720 Thank you, Steve.
00:37:57.300 Natalie Winters.
00:37:58.540 Natalie, you specialize in this.
00:38:00.500 And here's what what the audience got to understand.
00:38:03.080 These NGOs, it's virtually totally unregulated.
00:38:07.280 Right.
00:38:07.780 You see something like Humpty Dumpty, right?
00:38:09.860 The thing you say, hey, there's something sketchy here.
00:38:11.760 The people associated, who they're taking money from, where they're setting up trips.
00:38:16.140 Give me your overall assessment, because you've kind of specialized in this.
00:38:20.200 These NGOs and you had the great the guys at Heritage did the 35 NGOs that are driving literally with government money, driving illegal aliens, not just up to the border, but up to the rest of the United States.
00:38:31.360 Talk to me for a second about your perspective of the NGOs and their relationships to how power is really disseminated in the nation's capital.
00:38:39.420 Sure, I think the NGOs are really kind of the foot soldiers of this broader movement.
00:38:46.240 If you want to kind of look at the disseminators of it, being the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, right?
00:38:52.620 Because the globalist movement is diffuse in the sense that these people don't really believe, at least in a centralization of power from a country perspective.
00:39:01.640 Right. But in order to actually get some of their policies, their broader agendas in place, they have to have some way, some overarching way that connects, whether it's not just state to state, but country to country and be able to fund it.
00:39:17.340 And then, like, for example, the Humpty Dumpty Institute, at least with what, you know, Frankie was reporting, shows you how you kind of have the key players, right?
00:39:27.840 The Chinese Communist Party financiers tied to sort of larger globalist movements.
00:39:33.940 Nine times out of 10, the Gates Foundation is somehow involved.
00:39:37.660 But I think it just really goes back to sort of my central thesis, which is the concept of pattern recognition.
00:39:44.060 Right. It's the idea that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.
00:39:47.680 And when you see the same people who are funding, whether it's, you know, critical race theory initiatives in the classrooms or the same people who are funding the climate change campaign or the same people who are funding the initiatives to take, you know, grass fed beef and normal food off of your table and substitute it with plant based alternatives.
00:40:08.160 And these are the same people who are also funding pandemic prevention while also funding the cures to these so-called pandemics.
00:40:15.400 I think it really is just one large conflict of interest where these people are often exploiting whatever the crisis is of the day is, you know, the World Economic Forum calls it the poly crises to get more power.
00:40:30.660 So that's why you see the same people rearing their ugly heads, irrespective of what the problem actually is.
00:40:37.140 So that's why these NGOs, they're kind of shape shifters in the sense that whatever the issue was of the day, that's what they focus on.
00:40:44.160 And they sort of have these reserved troops of people who are on their advisory boards, people who are on their payroll, who will kind of go out and stump for them and push any agenda.
00:40:54.120 So the NGOs and unfortunately, with the way financial disclosures are in the United States or the other countries that these entities are often headquartered, it's very lax.
00:41:05.760 So they thrive on the secrecy, right?
00:41:08.000 These 501c3s don't have to disclose who their donors are.
00:41:12.920 So that means that the Chinese Communist Party could be donating and no one's going to know.
00:41:17.700 So it sort of goes back to the other area that I cover, which is, you know, the idea of CCP infiltration in this country.
00:41:23.580 I mean, it's basically all about just distorting reality.
00:41:27.440 And here you got a witch's brew.
00:41:29.640 You got, you know, you got Epstein's brother.
00:41:31.680 You've got some sketchy, looks like Middle Eastern connections. 1.00
00:41:34.860 You've got Central Asian connections.
00:41:37.600 You got the CCP, one of the more prominent.
00:41:40.040 It's just, but I'm saying if you go to a number of these two, you'll find many of the connective tissue.
00:41:44.660 This does make sense.
00:41:46.560 I'm a little pressed for time, but I got to go.
00:41:48.340 Natalie Winters, as you know, is steady, Eddie, always unflappable, as I call her.
00:41:53.280 I don't often see a three alarm tweet from Natalie Winters, and I caught one today.
00:41:59.260 So I had to get you on here.
00:42:01.160 I go, wow, what's the bee in her bonnet? 1.00
00:42:04.340 But this is pretty important.
00:42:06.180 Tell us what you've identified today.
00:42:07.740 I want to make sure the audience at least gets a taste of it, and we're going to drill down on more of it in the days to come.
00:42:13.300 Sure.
00:42:13.720 Well, I think that the Atlantic magazine called your producer Cameron unflappable in their write-up, but I will take that as a compliment nonetheless.
00:42:21.640 But this story is, I think, a bombshell in the sense that we should be internalizing it as the equivalent of the World Health Organization and their pandemic treaty.
00:42:34.120 This is kind of the United Nations approach to misinformation in that context.
00:42:39.400 In other words, they want to take away sovereignty from the United States, from our government, and put it to kind of the level above, right?
00:42:47.320 Extract one level up and have, really, the United Nations be able to determine what exactly constitutes misinformation.
00:42:54.500 So they've launched what's called a convention on countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes.
00:43:03.380 Now, I know that's a mouthful.
00:43:04.680 But if you really drill down and you read the document, or at least the draft document, it really has to do with people who share information that the UN would deem misinformation.
00:43:16.580 In some cases, it's people who promote ideological hatred or political hatred, people who also promote, they say, terrorism or trying to overthrow the government.
00:43:27.420 But as we've seen, those terms are often misappropriated and weaponized against people who dare to defy the globalist kind of world order.
00:43:36.520 And I think the key point to focus on here, which we'll get into later, but is how China is actually trying to shape this treaty, this convention.
00:43:45.500 And they've actually put forth a resolution to be added to this document.
00:43:50.660 And I'll read it briefly, because it really is scary.
00:43:54.540 And they say they want to criminalize people who share false information that could result in serious social disorder, including but not limited to information related to natural and human-caused disasters.
00:44:08.440 In other words, to me, that means they're talking about a lab leak and a potentially future pandemic or artificially created natural disaster.
00:44:15.440 But that is right out of the CCP's mouth, this concept of social disorder.
00:44:20.380 That's kind of the new term that they're going to be using to silence us.
00:44:23.700 And it's really scary that the UN is actually partnering not just with member states like China, but also private companies, including Meta, the American Chamber of Commerce, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft.
00:44:36.480 They're a part of the ad hoc committee advising the UN on the formulation of this committee.
00:44:40.760 So this is a really big story that is worth paying attention to.
00:44:44.900 It's up on warroom.org if you want to read it.
00:44:48.380 What is the timing of all this?
00:44:50.140 When's this convention?
00:44:51.100 Just walk me through a critical path here.
00:44:53.900 Sure.
00:44:54.440 So the effort to roll this out began in December 2019.
00:44:58.320 That was when the UN voted to kind of get the groundwork going to establish this convention.
00:45:03.400 And it'll be formalized so the document, what I'm speaking about now is a draft, but it'll be totally done.
00:45:09.660 The deliberative process completed in September of 2024.
00:45:13.780 So they're really taking their time, I would argue, nefariously to make sure that they maximize the power that they can get using these, you know, so-called man-made or natural human disasters to sort of broaden their purview over what they can and can't censor.
00:45:29.160 Natalie, how do people get to you over at War Room and how do they get to your social media?
00:45:36.420 I'm Natalie G. Winters on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and of course Getter.
00:45:41.700 And you can go to warroom.org to keep up with the latest stories I'm breaking.
00:45:47.520 Thank you very much, Natalie.
00:45:49.420 Appreciate it.
00:45:49.940 This is a big one.
00:45:50.560 We're going to be all over it.
00:45:51.440 I want to go to Dr. Bradley Thayer.
00:45:54.180 Dr. Thayer, thank you for joining.
00:45:56.420 Look, you had this and you got an amazing piece up in Epoch Times, and I want to address that, but no sooner have they been hammering and begging for and saying they must have battle tanks, then all of a sudden he flips last night and says, we also need, oh, by the way, we need F-16s and we need rockets and we need long-range missiles.
00:46:15.500 And lo and behold, Lockheed says, hey, we're going to ramp up production anyway, even without a purchase order.
00:46:20.680 So, Dr. Thayer, how does this, what is going on here, how does it impact the national security of the United States of America, not Ukraine?
00:46:31.200 Because I think what our audience is most concerned about, as we've talked here now for the last half hour, is the Chinese Communist Party.
00:46:38.740 And particularly we're concerned about Taiwan, the defense of Taiwan, sir.
00:46:43.100 Steve, it's great to be with you again.
00:46:47.040 The United States has got, obviously, global obligations that it has to meet.
00:46:52.440 Taiwan, of course, is first and foremost of that because it's in the sights of the Chinese Communist Party right now.
00:46:58.920 What we need to do is have a conventional deterrent for Taiwan and conventional deterrence really relies on three things, one of which is going to be the size of your military. 0.97
00:47:12.180 How big is your how many ships, submarines does your Navy have?
00:47:15.700 How big is the Army, Air Force, the Marine Corps?
00:47:20.220 Secondly, what's the arsenal like?
00:47:22.720 Are you going to be able to fight a high-intensity warfare against China or not?
00:47:30.340 If you're not able to have a defense industry—
00:47:32.500 But hang on, but hang on, but hang on, hang on.
00:47:34.840 Dr. Thayer, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
00:47:36.660 I thought we were paying—we almost spent a trillion dollars a year on defense, national security, $840 billion, think what the NDA says.
00:47:43.960 But people know they've got stuff stuck everywhere else.
00:47:46.180 If you round it up, it's close to a trillion dollars.
00:47:48.400 You agree?
00:47:48.680 I thought our military doctrine was two-and-a-half wars simultaneously, or at least they've pulled it back, at least two wars.
00:47:56.180 I thought we've been paying for the last 50 or 60 years, ever since President Reagan, or even before then, I think since World War II,
00:48:03.780 haven't we been paying for a doctrine that lays out two to two-and-a-half wars simultaneously?
00:48:10.660 So why should this be a concern of yours now, since we're just shipping some weapons and 30 Abram tanks?
00:48:17.040 Don't we have massive inventory and we've got more than enough, like three times as much, to defend the Straits of Taiwan and Taiwan, sir?
00:48:24.820 In the Cold War, we had a standard of two-and-a-half major wars.
00:48:31.160 That is a war against the Soviets, a war against the Chinese, and a Vietnam. 0.81
00:48:35.680 We'd be able to do simultaneously.
00:48:38.200 Now, whether we met that or not is another issue.
00:48:40.520 But that was the standard that we wanted to have an army large enough to deal with that, an Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps.
00:48:46.880 Today, that is not the standard.
00:48:49.400 Today, we'd be hard-pressed to do one of those, Steve, as you well know.
00:48:53.360 So what we need to do is not only have a military that's strong enough,
00:48:59.400 but we need to have a defense base that's going to be able to supply our military in a high-intensity war, Steve.
00:49:08.560 That's not fighting in Iraq.
00:49:10.920 That's not fighting in Afghanistan.
00:49:12.820 That's the Hurtkin Forest, right?
00:49:15.520 Around Okinawa, between April and June of 1945,
00:49:19.440 the Navy had about 36 ships sunk and about 368 damaged, okay,
00:49:27.100 in those months around Okinawa, due to kamikazes largely, the Japanese kamikazes.
00:49:35.180 In World War II, of course, we had an industrial base that could handle that,
00:49:40.100 although even Okinawa was testing that with those losses,
00:49:43.520 as Nimitz was terribly worried, right?
00:49:45.740 No more Okinawas, the Navy can't do that. 1.00
00:49:49.180 So around Taiwan, could we suffer 36 losses, 36 vessels sunk and 368 damaged?
00:49:57.800 Well, we only have about 280 ships in the entire Navy presently, and that's of all types.
00:50:03.760 So in order to fight high-intensity warfare, you've got to have a military that's primed to do it
00:50:10.540 and an industrial base that can support it, and we're just not there.
00:50:16.480 Now, sending things to Ukraine makes that situation worse by far, 0.99
00:50:22.360 but it was a bad situation before Ukraine ever came off.
00:50:26.120 So, you know, it's a key issue of tremendous concern.
00:50:32.900 If you're going to get involved in a war against—
00:50:35.900 Okay, I want everybody to go to see this piece right now,
00:50:39.080 and we'll get you back on a drill down more, but correct me if I'm wrong.
00:50:41.680 The Navy secretary tweeted out a couple weeks ago
00:50:45.280 that if we continue to arm Ukraine at the rate we're going to arm it, 0.69
00:50:49.100 we will not have munitions for the fleet in six months,
00:50:52.280 and immediately they freaked out and they took the tweet down.
00:50:54.640 Was he speaking the truth when he said that, in your professional opinion, Dr. Bradley Thayer?
00:51:00.840 He is, Steve.
00:51:03.120 A defense of Taiwan is going to consume munitions by the tens of thousands
00:51:08.500 in terms of what the Navy is able to produce,
00:51:11.240 essentially standard missiles, for example, and the derivatives in that family.
00:51:16.500 In terms of anti-radiation missiles, in terms of air-to-air missiles,
00:51:21.220 we're going to be in the tens of—many tens of thousands that's going to be consumed instantaneously,
00:51:27.420 right, right away within weeks and months, right?
00:51:31.940 We don't have an arsenal that can supply that now.
00:51:35.520 So it's nice that they're ramping, quote-unquote, ramping up,
00:51:38.360 but they have a long way to go in order to deal with that.
00:51:42.980 The Navy, as you know, can't make the vessels, obviously, in the way it once did,
00:51:49.800 because we've got too few yards.
00:51:53.120 Too few shipyards.
00:51:54.160 Dr. Thayer, we've got to bounce.
00:51:56.780 Real quickly, how do people get to the article?
00:51:58.840 How do they get to your writings?
00:52:00.840 It's the Epoch Times on the 25th of January,
00:52:03.800 and the Center for Security Policy,
00:52:06.020 and then Bradley Thayer at Getter and Truth.
00:52:08.500 Steve, thanks.
