this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:09.780
these people you're just not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people
00:00:16.200
have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything in
00:00:20.280
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:23.720
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:31.540
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:39.460
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:46.680
person for the chinese ministry of foreign affairs responding this morning
00:00:55.680
calling it an unacceptable and irresponsible action china raised eyebrows over the weekend saying
00:01:02.400
that they retain the right to respond further let me begin with you um we we've heard much
00:01:09.200
about the grave damage from from republican uh senators who are acting like idiots with guns in their lap
00:01:16.540
posing for social media making reckless remarks uh left and right i'm curious what's your take
00:01:23.740
on uh i mean look at this seriously look i mean just look at the idiots here and and it would be
00:01:32.360
unthinkable even two three years ago uh for for fool people to act like fools that were members of the
00:01:40.300
united states senate um so we're supposed to listen to these people instead of
00:01:45.340
the pentagon who's advising the president of the united states uh to to take a deep breath and wait
00:01:53.200
until they're ready to take it down what's your reaction so joe you know all i could think of uh you know
00:01:59.700
when i saw on social media you know pictures of kind of ar-15 toting uh uh you know individuals who should
00:02:06.400
be responsible these are members of the senate uh members of the house of representatives all i could think of
00:02:10.540
is this is a pending south park episode i mean this is really performative nonsense and it's not helpful
00:02:16.020
and and you know what i'd like to do or what i you know what i think we should call on is every person
00:02:20.400
who actually did something like that let's let's have them write a three thousand word essay on what
00:02:24.320
they really mean so when you know in terms of biden being soft on china or the idea of of you know
00:02:29.780
putting your you're pointing your ar-15 up to the sky this is not helpful this actually is more of a sign
00:02:34.600
of weakness for the united states because it shows a country divided so i think it was it was unfortunate
00:02:40.060
it was unhelpful and they really would know better because they actually some of them are briefed
00:02:44.660
on what actually occurred in my view you know the biden administration you know you know they i look
00:02:49.560
to the old adage from my old world you know slow is smooth and and you know and smooth is fast
00:02:55.140
and what does that mean it means slow down in a crisis you know go over correct courses of action
00:03:00.080
and ultimately i think it was handled by the administration quite well let me ask you this
00:03:03.740
you know congressional source tells us that there will be a briefing for the so-called gang of eight
00:03:08.080
lawmakers uh the top leaders in both chambers uh and the key intelligence committee members as you know
00:03:13.820
uh the navy is in the process of recovering the spy balloon surveillance equipment what do you think
00:03:18.960
they're they're going to find uh do you think they'll find much that's useful
00:03:23.000
well that's a that's a very important briefing uh that ought to be provided uh to our congressional
00:03:30.720
leaders uh particularly if uh it's confirmed that uh this balloon had the capability to pick up
00:03:40.520
sensitive information uh and was an intelligence gathering uh mission was on an intelligence gathering
00:03:47.180
mission and secondly whether it was maneuverable i i think those are the key points
00:03:52.160
uh if it is a spy balloon if it's maneuverable uh then clearly invading uh u.s airspace was of
00:04:01.780
concern and i think the president made the right decision to shoot it down so there's an awful lot
00:04:07.260
of information we need to know uh in order to confirm our worst suspicions and you've been in the
00:04:14.420
position of defense secretary cia director white house chief of staff would you have advised the
00:04:19.060
president uh to shoot down that balloon immediately as soon as it was becoming noticeable over the skies
00:04:27.440
in montana or do you think it made some sense from an intelligence gathering standpoint to let it drift
00:04:33.500
uh for a while and let it get out over the ocean where it could be brought down without really any
00:04:40.360
well you know there there are going to be lessons from uh all of this uh with regards to
00:04:47.620
this kind of uh spy balloon if it if it is uh in fact a spy balloon uh if if it was that and if we
00:04:56.360
were aware of the balloon uh i think we should have taken steps to prevent it from entering our airspace
00:05:02.640
uh and i'm not sure that we should have allowed it uh to simply cross over the country uh cross over
00:05:09.980
uh what were obviously sensitive military sites i i don't i don't see the logic of that uh so so the
00:05:17.980
question obviously is uh pentagon said that there were risks here i understand that argument uh that
00:05:25.560
there were debris risks uh at the same time i think we should have acted earlier uh if our suspicions
00:05:34.480
were valid that this was in fact on an intelligence mission i hope in the future we make clear to the
00:05:41.960
to the to china that uh this kind of incident cannot happen again and it will not happen again that in
00:05:50.220
the future if we see that kind of balloon uh we are going to if they don't take action to prevent
00:05:56.920
that balloon from entering our airspace that we will indeed shoot it down much earlier than
00:06:02.460
we did this time around and i think if i have you straight you're saying that you think this should
00:06:08.060
have been shot down perhaps over montana something like that maybe over a sparsely populated area that
00:06:14.560
sort of thing before it crossed over the entire almost the entire continent u.s yeah that that bothered
00:06:21.760
me that uh that it was allowed to transverse the entire country uh and and for that reason i think
00:06:30.320
it probably would have been well for for the president uh to to have been transparent with the country
00:06:36.640
about what was happening here uh when they initially found uh that the balloon was there uh when they
00:06:43.900
considered it to be an intelligence gathering balloon and frankly when the president made the
00:06:48.920
decision to shoot it down if he made the decision on wednesday to shoot it down uh i think that should
00:06:54.660
have been made public uh it would have prevented some of the criticism uh that occurred later uh and
00:07:00.260
the american people i think are entitled to know uh just exactly what our adversaries are up to
00:07:06.320
so i think greater transparency would have helped the white house as well well shannon what began as a
00:07:12.900
spy balloon has become a trial balloon testing president biden's strength and resolve and
00:07:19.000
unfortunately the president failed that test uh and that's dangerous for the american people
00:07:24.280
uh the president was paralyzed for an entire week by a balloon um we should have shot this balloon down
00:07:30.900
over the aleutian islands we should never have allowed it to transit the entire continental united
00:07:36.800
states and i think there's a lot of open questions that the administration needs to answer to congress
00:07:42.580
on behalf of the american people about why they didn't i think part of it is the president's
00:07:48.100
reluctance to take any action that would be viewed as provocative or confrontational towards the chinese
00:07:53.200
communists i would say what's provocative and confrontational is sending a spy balloon all across
00:07:58.120
america but second i do believe the administration wanted to salvage the secretary of state's trip
00:08:03.720
on friday night and they got through thursday afternoon thankfully civilians in montana and
00:08:09.840
the billings gazette identified this balloon and blew the whistle on it and finally the administration
00:08:14.000
fessed up to the american people it took another 12 hours for the secretary of state canceled what was
00:08:19.320
already an ill-advised trip i think there's a lot of answers for the administration to provide the
00:08:23.840
american people excuse me um that would make me choke right there right remember i started friday's show
00:08:34.960
tom cotton's got it right there okay um we don't do all this work here just to make you the audience
00:08:43.080
the most interesting person at the uh at the cocktail party or at the dinner table when you're out having
00:08:49.460
dinner with friends or hanging with uh them we know you will be about how far ahead of the curve we put
00:08:56.700
you but we actually do this because you're the um not just the chairman of the creditors committee of
00:09:04.080
this nation you're also the backbone to common sense and when we have to set things right we're gonna
00:09:11.040
have to be very specific and we started friday's show with with this remember uh i said that this
00:09:17.200
headline in the financial times of friday financial times of friday blinking to meet xi during landmark
00:09:25.040
china visit in sign of thawing relations remember that remember that and i later said it was dimitri
00:09:31.740
sevastopolo washington this is friday morning's print edition this was briefed they had this interview
00:09:40.920
on thursday afternoon to make it to the print edition of friday's paper okay joe biden in the biden regime
00:09:52.000
knew about this spy balloon crossing the airspace into the aleutian islands no later than nlt no later
00:10:01.760
than early on saturday the 28th of january get your number two pencil out write that date down
00:10:09.380
the 28th of january as we know now that's what they've already fessed up to
00:10:15.920
they intended this is what time cotton said they intended
00:10:21.100
to never reveal this to the people of the united states in order to let blink and get on that plane
00:10:27.220
and get over there and kowtow to to to she particularly do you think it's random that that
00:10:34.680
uh meeting which could have been sent at any time do you think it's random that he was going to leave
00:10:40.220
on friday basically afternoon you would get there sunday morning the way the time zones work and then
00:10:46.100
have start the meetings in the afternoon do you think it's random that the house um inquiry into into
00:10:54.640
hunter biden's laptop starts on wednesday morning do you think was random that this meeting was set up
00:11:02.000
so he could talk about the great relations they have and you're gonna you're gonna hurt the
00:11:05.740
relationships they hid they hid this information and i believe you're going to find out if the
00:11:14.220
republicans ask the tough and right questions according to austin and millie because remember
00:11:20.060
they had the big deal about austin's over in philippines they're cutting this base deal he had to get up in
00:11:24.780
the middle of the night i think austin was wednesday february 1st the president didn't make a decision
00:11:33.000
to quote unquote shoot it down or do whatever until it was outed on friday they hid from the american
00:11:38.900
people if it had not been from an individual at the billings gazette walking out because a buddy told
00:11:44.020
him i think we got a ufo that that that's out there if it had not been that they would have hid the
00:11:49.360
entire thing knowing it they would have hid it from the american people let it traverse not just traverse
00:11:54.480
the continent but stay there i think for a day or two around the icbm launch fields in north central
00:12:00.820
montana as you can tell from we ought to pull that up later you can tell from the the pattern it had
00:12:05.780
the inquiry on this has to be immediate this is think about it for a second they impeached trump
00:12:12.560
over some phone call with the with the with the poison dwarf zelinski they impeached him over that
00:12:19.500
this is an absolute this is a high crime in a misdemeanor and this must get we must find out
00:12:27.520
like who knew what on saturday the 28th and was that the first time because i happen to believe it
00:12:34.380
was earlier than that but even even be that as it may let's just go with saturday the 28th
00:12:40.840
who knew it did the pentagon know it did they tell austin why is austin sitting there having a
00:12:47.320
conference call with millie and everybody in the middle of the night in manila i think on the
00:12:51.460
first the following wednesday correct when this was then they came back to the president said don't
00:12:56.460
shoot it down that that you know because it may you know there's there's so many uh it's so
00:13:02.100
concentrated in montana in eastern montana we had rosendale on here saturday so concentrated in
00:13:07.340
eastern montana you know it may fall on uh the south 40 there which is all a lie
00:13:12.880
this was done by the ccp to humiliate the united states to let the citizens of the united states
00:13:19.940
know you're not safe anyway we can do what we want in your government your illegitimate regime
00:13:24.900
will not stand up to us think about it they flood us with fentanyl in the ccp covet 19 virus these are
00:13:33.700
biological weapon and they flood us with fentanyl non-stop in a second opium war
00:13:38.860
there i've said this the third world war has started i have said this now for years
00:13:44.400
it's unrestricted warfare and thereafter the chinese communist party considered the american
00:13:49.720
citizens an existential threat to the dictatorial regime and they've bribed half the people in this
00:13:55.320
city and on wall street and in silicon valley in the corporate in the global corporations
00:14:01.020
they're all all kowtai look at morning joe right there ms nbc who goes over and kisses their ass
00:14:06.820
with the freaking uh olympics nbc is in bed with the chinese communist party this is why you have
00:14:14.000
all that talk on morning joe oh it's so it's so irresponsible it's so performative they never
00:14:19.640
know what happened during trump oh it happened all the time what are we doing this is not the way
00:14:26.020
you're right a mature nation would not have traitors joe biden is a traitor
00:14:36.000
he's a traitor and if mcconnell and this gang of eight don't start and the inquiries don't start

despite the u.s blowing through 31.4 trillion dollar debt ceiling in january the leftist white

sand when it comes to fiscal responsibility it's time to pull yours out think about this
00:15:17.820

today brother cortez um and i want the audience some because it's the audience that makes the
00:17:54.020
difference this is the biggest activist audience the biggest maga biggest activist audience in the
00:17:59.140
country and um we know we're at war they're at war with us they declared a people's war in 2019
00:18:06.660
when they tore up uh the light heiser trump uh seven deadly sins deal they didn't want to be a part of
00:18:12.600
that they started their decoupling right then they've been in a people's first they've been war
00:18:16.280
with us much longer than that but the unrestricted warfare part really started to kick in then with
00:18:20.680
the declaration of a people's war cortez give me uh give me your analysis of america's elite
00:18:27.140
you know we're a nation in managed decline right but now we're very close to just having the bottom
00:18:32.900
fall out sir yeah it doesn't seem like a managed decline at the moment it seems more like a collapse
00:18:37.980
you know and steve to your point uh look the chinese communist party in all probability
00:18:42.420
didn't gather any useful information from this balloon that they couldn't just get from satellites
00:18:46.980
it was about humiliating the united states it was very symbolic it was very important about telling
00:18:52.980
the citizens of the united states uh that you have been betrayed you've been betrayed by your own
00:18:59.480
leaders uh and you have been subjugated not just by your own leaders but also by the junta by the
00:19:05.080
regime in beijing i think that is the reality here and by the way i want to point out you know you
00:19:09.620
played in the cold open there and i think it was important to show that uh leon panetta sounding
00:19:13.900
actually very sensible sounding a little bit like a hawk defending american sovereignty but let's
00:19:18.620
remember leon panetta is one of the dozens of disgraceful former intelligence officials he
00:19:25.400
former head of the cia who signed the ridiculous politico memorandum claiming that the hunter
00:19:32.820
biden laptop was not legitimate and that it was russian disinformation so let's remember even leon
00:19:38.540
panetta somebody who in my view is a traitor to this country who lied to the american people
00:19:42.980
uh who used his former status as cia head uh to effectively excuse the information that we
00:19:49.840
received on the laptop which the most damning information on that laptop and there's a lot of
00:19:53.760
damning information but the most damning information was the fact that the biden family the biden cartel
00:19:58.460
was completely compromised by the chinese communist party so but even leon panetta said okay this is a
00:20:05.400
bridge too far i can't believe we let this balloon float across the entirety of the united states but
00:20:09.700
again the point i believe from the ccp is the humiliation of the united states and even tom
00:20:15.500
cotton somebody who i'm frankly not very happy with and i think a lot of folks in the audience
00:20:19.280
are not very happy with somebody who also betrayed us in a different sense financially betrayed the
00:20:24.680
united states by becoming part of joe biden's omnibus package which has inflicted so much economic
00:20:30.260
misery and is going to continue to lead to economic misery through this year even tom cotton who it turns
00:20:35.460
out is an establishment squish even he realizes that again this was a bridge too far by the ccp this was
00:20:42.720
such an affront to america's sovereignty and steve i think it's important for the american people to
00:20:47.400
to realize this is about humiliating you i mean i really believe that was the intent here much more
00:20:53.400
uh than anything strategic or tactical that the chinese communist party could have gained it's about
00:20:58.300
breaking the american spirit we're not going to let that happen of course we're going to push back
00:21:02.840
um and thankfully we do have the united states house representatives and soon i believe we're going
00:21:07.680
to have the senate and the white house and we're going to start pushing back against the ccp
00:21:10.780
the concept is of being a tributary state this is the way the middle kingdom rolls the countries
00:21:17.560
around it pay tribute they're tributary states you have to kowtow remember the hunter biden laptop
00:21:23.080
from hell comer kickoff about the twitter the fbi guys working at twitter and about the surprise
00:21:30.040
it's going to start with the suppression of the laptop from hell of which we're very honored
00:21:34.780
right and and abby lowell can send all the all the letters he wants to all the ags all the source
00:21:40.720
backed ags everywhere in the country okay we're very proud we were part of bringing that to the american
00:21:46.680
people's attention okay because the biden's are traitors they sold us out for money they're scumbag
00:21:54.480
traitors okay they sold us out for money the the inquiry starts the morning after his great state
00:22:01.260
of the union and they got mccarthy's allowed this thing to be you know they got the fence back up i
00:22:05.960
don't know what mccarthy's doing they got the fence back up i don't know for what reason okay they got
00:22:11.060
the fence back his great state of the union on the day after comer and these guys they're starting it
00:22:15.080
and they're starting it about the media the social media the silicon valley oligarchs who are in bed
00:22:21.400

00:24:40.120
pentagon and then you can get the whole thing to shoot it down not shoot it down let it traverse
00:24:45.080
that decision yes huge but this is just like finding the classified documents drive a stake in the
00:24:51.000
november 2nd remember they all want to talk to you run around about what happened after yes that's bad

00:25:20.940
and the lies and tom cotton tom cotton had to pass the 1.8 trillion dollar and not just that take the
00:25:28.180
gavel out of our hand to shut this freaking stuff down now had to do it because they had to get a
00:25:33.460
big increase in defense budget of a defense department came and protect you let you be
00:25:37.720
humiliated as it traverse traverses at its own time you know the the at the at the at the speed
00:25:44.780
and and and what they want to do had to do that because ukraine we had to get the money ukraine
00:25:49.600
and all ukraine we're here all we were hearing steve is that we're going to get them tanks and we're
00:25:54.180
shifting away from back moon we're going to go down and take we're going to retake crimea
00:25:57.840
those lies and misrepresentations all now they're in spin mode you got defend they're about to get
00:26:02.940
rid of the defense minister reporters just reports as we come on air if you've been in my getter
00:26:07.280
account all week you can see rogers just reports hey the 500 000 conscript in russia look like a
00:26:13.100
winter offensive now he's going to fire his his uh the lionized defense minister is supposed to be the
00:26:19.700
guy that's kept him in the fight so far steve cortez your assessment of the lies and misrepresentation
00:26:26.280
in ukraine sir steve fascinating article over the weekend if we can please pull up the slide from
00:26:32.480
roll call and roll call in many ways is sort of the tip sheet for permanent washington roll call had an
00:26:38.720
article over the weekend where it said that the u.s must back ukraine joining nato in 2023 why
00:26:44.660
because the europeans know that in 2024 there's going to be a leadership change in the united
00:26:51.900
states now by the way i happen to agree with the europeans on this point you bet there's going to
00:26:55.860
be a leadership change both the senate and the white house but the point is here that you look at how
00:27:00.620
crass that is and by the way that they're unembarrassed even to express it publicly to say hey
00:27:05.620
we've got to get this done right now we've got to get this dirty deal done with kiev because pretty soon
00:27:11.340
those america first people those patriotic populace they're going to be in charge of washington dc and
00:27:16.840
we can't get it done then and this is connected to what we're talking about with the chinese
00:27:20.580
communist party steve it's the exact same mentality it's an america last multilateralist globalist
00:27:28.040
mentality and agenda and by the way what are the consequences of that agenda according to the
00:27:33.860
economic policy institute which is a left-leaning think tank in washington dc according to the epi
00:27:40.000
the united states has lost 3.7 million manufacturing jobs to china 3.7 million high-paying family
00:27:49.700
sustaining manufacturing jobs lost to the predatory trade practices of china not because we can't
00:27:56.000
compete with china steve but because the game was rigged against the american people rigged okay hang
00:28:03.000
on for a second we'll get into the economics of it how this implies yeah but that's middle-class
00:28:06.760
joe from scranton he's been at the because he's compromised he's one of the ones supported the
00:28:13.080
jobs going 3.7 million high-paying family sustaining jobs to the ccp next in the war room
00:28:21.560

00:29:43.620
tragically right now in america there's a collapse in confidence let's look at the numbers in a chalk talk
00:29:49.820
abc news poll that goes back almost four decades asks americans are you better off today than you
00:29:56.220
were two years ago right now 41 percent of americans say they are worse off than they were two years ago
00:30:03.420
which not coincidentally is right when joe biden took office this is by far the worst number in the history
00:30:10.440
of this survey now why the collapse in confidence on the economy well the created crises plural of joe biden
00:30:18.480
he declared war on american domestic energy production he engaged in an orgy of exorbitant
00:30:24.820
borrowing and spending and he opened the southern border inviting in millions of new workers to
00:30:31.680
compete illegally and unfairly in the labor market against american citizens now the only good news
00:30:37.440
patriots all of those failures they're reversible so let's get to work
00:30:42.620
they reverse definitely reverse by the way the abc poll said what two-thirds of americans don't think
00:30:50.220
he's accomplished much they're not paying attention he's accomplished a lot to destroy this country
00:30:54.100
starting with taking us from full spectrum energy dominance now to calto to every third world tin
00:31:01.620
pot dictator in the world including getting our hands and knees to the saudis steve cortez your
00:31:07.160
assessment sir you know listen that that poll of course is foreboding but it's the reality and you
00:31:12.800
won't know the reality if you only pay attention to corporate media and thank goodness steve for what
00:31:17.340
you're doing and for this show the american people know the tangible kitchen table reality of their lives
00:31:23.340
right now they're getting poorer every single day we now have 21 straight months of declining real
00:31:30.540
wages which is all that really matters meaning your income adjusted for the costs and services of the
00:31:35.240
things that you need to live your life that number by the way that abc poll that i talked about in my
00:31:40.400
chalk talk it's not just a marginal new high it's a massive new high in the percentage of people
00:31:45.740
saying that they are worse off than they were two years ago the previous worst mark was 36
00:31:52.160
41 of americans now say they are worse off than they were two years ago which happens to be almost
00:31:58.840
exactly to the day when joe biden took office uh so despondency unfortunately has become the rule
00:32:06.120
out there in america uh when you add to that economic deprivation the humiliation the national
00:32:12.540
security humiliation to this country of having to simply watch as the chinese communist party
00:32:17.580
embarrasses america and floats a balloon all over the country at its own will at its own discretion
00:32:23.220
uh in the united states the greatest superpower in the history of the world acting as if it you know
00:32:28.820
it cannot control or cannot protect its own sovereignty when you combine those two aspects
00:32:33.340
together uh it's really soul crushing i mean that's the reality right now we have an absolute collapse
00:32:38.940
in confidence in the united states but as i also point out there in that chalk talk i don't want to
00:32:44.340
just uh uh talk about the darkness all right i want to just curse the darkness let's light the candle
00:32:49.380
let's light the political candle as the good book tells us light a candle okay and thankfully we have
00:32:55.120
one significant lever of power right now in washington dc and that is the u.s house of representatives so
00:32:59.840
it is incumbent it is necessary immediately with total urgency for the house of representatives to get about
00:33:06.220
the business of reversing this economic collapse this national security humiliation of the united states
00:33:13.020
and then we the movement the america first patriotic populist movement also have to be about the business
00:33:18.120
and believe me steve we need to recruit candidates right now in 2023 for 2024 it's not too early for
00:33:25.260
us to win back the senate and of course to ultimately win back the white house as well but the economic
00:33:30.220
situation in this country make no mistake uh it is dire right now just today by the way i'm in texas
00:33:35.540
um and dell is headquartered in texas in austin texas dell computer announced today that is laying off
00:33:41.700
over 6 000 workers you know unfortunately that kind of headline has become very regular particularly in
00:33:48.560
the technology space uh and you know i hate to be the bearer bad news steve but those headlines are
00:33:53.360
going to continue and they're going to accelerate and they're going to exacerbate as the year goes on
00:33:59.500
that's simply the reality of the recession the biden induced recession that we're in but again we have
00:34:05.260
human agency we have the ability to fix these problems we can close the border we can get control
00:34:12.520
of the exorbitant borrowing and spending particularly when it comes to the use of the debt ceiling we can
00:34:18.280
reverse biden's attack on american energy on on domestic energy production in this country all of
00:34:23.680
all that is reversible and it must be reversed for the prosperity of the american people
00:34:28.020
you know we got um five days that changed the direction of this country was the five days that
00:34:35.580
we we stood up and and fought uh mccarthy becoming speaker and got all these changes that led to the
00:34:41.380
committees and led to the people on the committees and the in the absolute uh full uh on offense on
00:34:48.000
these we have to keep that up but right now we got another five days if the republicans have any stones
00:34:53.800
right mitch mccarthy these guys are all compromised too we'll try to cover up for it but those five
00:34:59.440
days from 28 uh january to basically the 2nd of february we have to know specifically and i mean a
00:35:06.620
minute-by-minute timeline about when this spy balloon crossing because it's not just crossing into u.s
00:35:13.260
uh it's not just crossing into u.s uh airspace you pick these things up well in advance okay we
00:35:21.260
essentially knew when this was launched from uh china no doubt then you can go through and dig it
00:35:28.060
dig it up unless they're lying to you and you still get to the bottom of it they knew it was coming and
00:35:32.880
they suppressed it they hid it from the american people on purpose so they could get blinkin on a
00:35:38.340
plane to go kowtow to be a tributary state to go to kowtow in beijing on sunday that would be
00:35:44.400
yesterday they wouldn't believe on friday to basically thwart or blunt what's going to happen
00:35:50.320
starting on wednesday this week with the laptop from hell which shows that they're compromised
00:35:54.300
they're compromised by money this is impeachable this is a high crime and a misdemeanor and the
00:36:01.220
republicans ought to get into this day and get the facts let's just get the facts let's just get the
00:36:07.080
facts this is not about a phone call with some pipsqueak okay this is about the vital national
00:36:15.300
security interest of the united states and with steve cortez is 100 true this is to humiliate you
00:36:20.600
and this is remember milley decided in june of 2020 after the the uh the situation in in lafayette park
00:36:29.680
right that that they went back to the pentagon and said oh we have to thwart trump so he can't win
00:36:35.520
they had a coup right there milley then after november 3rd contacted without notifying the commander
00:36:42.960
chief because trump says i didn't know about this he contacted the head of the chinese military
00:36:47.600
and said hey don't worry things gonna get a little crazy here but i got this there won't be any
00:36:52.800
nuclear strikes on you did he run that by is that is that in his is that in his brief
00:36:57.220
as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is it no it is not milley is one of the guys in this
00:37:02.800
conference call with austin what did milley know and when did he know it by the way if milley didn't
00:37:07.360
know to the first or the second who knew at the white house who was briefed who did nsa talk to
00:37:12.760
right who did norad talk to we need the details the facts themselves will lead to an impeachment of
00:37:21.080
joe biden the facts themselves so don't get off thing about oh this and that and the other thing
00:37:26.620
just give me the facts give me the timeline let's lay out a timeline and let's see exactly
00:37:30.600
who was doing what when and joe biden wanted to cover this up tom con's right to get and they
00:37:37.260
briefed the financial times on thursday they put in the print edition on friday morning this is all
00:37:41.540
gonna be better wall street the china's recovering the economy's gonna be fine we're all partners
00:37:46.860
we're all buddies just like uh just like blinken had the consulting firm with all those guys in the
00:37:53.060
white house making money off the ccp and just like biden's grabbing it with both hands grabbing it with
00:37:59.260
both hands and this is not about a tit for tat this is not oh you impeached trump hey the impeachments
00:38:05.200
are what they are okay the impeachments are what they are the american people knew that and he got
00:38:10.240
12 million more votes think about that 12 million legitimate votes real votes from people called
00:38:15.680
voters not made of votes you think elections have catastrophic consequences we're in the third world
00:38:24.060
war it has started and it started a while ago and it's going to get a lot uglier and a lot nastier so
00:38:30.760
we need people who are prepared to defend the united states of america and american citizens
00:38:34.720
the two groups in this country patriots and traitors no middle ground don't want to hear it either
00:38:41.020
either for the sovereignty of this nation and the sovereignty of her citizens and against the
00:38:46.760
enemies of that in the chinese communist parties the greatest existential threat we've had in the
00:38:51.740
history of this nation and they're everywhere and their money's everywhere their influence is
00:38:55.660

00:39:28.320
a pregame that's the pregame for the uh for the state of the union right exactly thank you great great
00:39:35.600
job steve let me go to a colonel derrick carvey colonel uh you were the guy at the house intel and
00:39:41.180
then over the national security council with president trump the first time i heard somebody actually
00:39:45.700
walked through a quite detailed and logical explanation of the managed decline of our nation
00:39:52.920
in every aspect by elites by colonel derrick carvey he's one of the smartest guys i've ever met
00:39:57.060
how does this epitomize what's happened over the last couple of days epitomize the managed decline of
00:40:02.240
our nation by our elite sir well let me talk about the managed decline for a second steve you know when i
00:40:11.100
was dealing with the wars in iraq and afghanistan i was confronted with the issue that we weren't
00:40:17.480
actually trying to achieve real objectives and trying to win and when we dealt with iranian malign
00:40:22.380
behavior we didn't want to do anything to upset the iranians when we're dealing with afghanistan we
00:40:27.280
didn't want to do anything about the sanctuary that was provided by the taliban and the the isi support
00:40:34.560
to the taliban that was leading to the deaths of americans i started to look around and pay closer
00:40:40.640
attention over the next couple of years in meeting after meeting with state department officials with
00:40:46.380
think tank officials and both democrat and republican senators um you would hear these concerns about
00:40:53.840
uh they were embarrassed about american wealth as compared to what was going on in the rest of the world
00:41:01.020
and they were expressing a globalist perspective that really pointed to a need to diminish american
00:41:09.380
uh exceptionalism and you know our gdp was too high where we were the biggest contributors in their view towards
00:41:17.600
um you know environmental issues with our you know high usage of energy but forget the fact that china
00:41:24.680
actually uses more energy than the united states and europe combined um you know they wanted to diminish
00:41:31.720
our status and our wealth in order to equalize us with the rest of the world but this policy of theirs
00:41:39.020
would not impact the elites of america in their view it would only be for americas in in general they
00:41:47.060
would make money off the de-industrialization of america they would make money off of opening our borders
00:41:53.220
and bringing in you know millions and millions of of of you know job-taking immigrants that would take the
00:42:01.200
lower tiers of the the rungs of the workforce and depress our wages for our americans um so across the
00:42:09.400
board you know this this idea that america needed to be taken down a few notches and that has led to what we
00:42:17.000
have today with you know americans increasingly recognizing that they're worse off and it's
00:42:24.300
because of a concerted planned policy unstated of course except you know if you're in you know davos or
00:42:32.100
you're going out to the aspen institute or you know one of these other places where the elites gather and
00:42:37.800
and look at how they can realign things around the world at the expense of american jobs and american
00:42:43.600
national security and and that's what trump stood up against with the america first policy it was about
00:42:49.640
putting america first economically for the american workers and for re-industrialization of america and
00:42:56.000
for rebuilding and only fighting those types of wars that were actually vital to the united states not
00:43:03.000
being adventuresome and if you're going to get in a conflict you should darn well win it um and he knew
00:43:08.960
that we didn't have the means or the will to actually in the situation with such in places like
00:43:14.700
afghanistan that we should have found a way to get out of there much earlier and and so you know that's
00:43:20.420
part of the issue we have yeah colonel hang on one second we're gonna take a short commercial break
00:43:26.460
we're gonna be back we have colonel derrick harvey on the managed decline of the united states of america
00:43:31.960

00:46:39.020
voice if we had guys like derrick harvey in congress in the house or in the senate we wouldn't
00:46:44.460
have some of the problems we have colonel harvey continue on about the managed decline in particularly
00:46:48.200
i want to tie in the ukraine war which now hey today in kiev instead of talking about taking crimea
00:46:55.060
they're talking about not collapsing again throw the defense secretary the defense minister under the
00:47:00.680
bus you know you can't these people lie to you with a straight face and they steal the money
00:47:06.840
and they lead the ukrainian people now 50 000 uh war casualties women and children mainly
00:47:12.580
right civilians and the united states pushes this the regime biden regime and the globalists push
00:47:19.400
this non-stop colonel derrick harvey well they do and real quick to follow up from the last segment
00:47:28.100
you know the world the world trade organization where we admitted china we don't enforce those rules
00:47:34.080
and that helps undermine us and build up their capabilities um the paris climate accords we pay
00:47:42.660
the price for that and china doesn't and that leads to an impact on american industry and american jobs
00:47:48.880
um military armaments agreements with the russians or others where you know we don't verify them we
00:47:55.940
don't enforce them when they're when they're broken or not adhere to at all and it's it's sort of a
00:48:02.140
facade out there that we have all these things going on but the one direction they're going is
00:48:06.800
undermining american security and we the globalists want to cover it up and obfuscate it and we have
00:48:14.220
the same thing going on i think with you know ukraine you know what's the end game in the ukraine actually
00:48:20.480
um no one can really explain it a never-ending war that we're going to spend another trillion dollars
00:48:26.960
are more on because ukraine is broke the industrial part of the country the agricultural part of the
00:48:32.400
country where the minerals are those are in the four eastern provinces primarily and they don't have
00:48:37.780
their seaports because of crimea and they depend upon western finances and western armaments
00:48:44.900
to let them hold on you know and how long can they hold on well maybe as long as we continue to
00:48:51.360
increasingly pay for it more and more of it and you know because nato will get fatigued with it
00:48:57.060
the french and the germans already are to some degree and what we're giving them isn't enough to
00:49:01.800
actually make a difference on the ground we're we're dripping some of these things in like the
00:49:07.120
the tanks 31 tanks will probably from the united states won't get there to till the fall and by then
00:49:14.180
you know what's 31 anyway and even in aggregated with the others from the other countries you might
00:49:19.280
have a couple of hundred all different types different munitions different maintenance requirements
00:49:23.840
so we're not really doing anything uh to change the the end game there either so it's sort of like
00:49:31.080
we're in a hedgehog situation where we want this just just to continue uh to some point where their
00:49:37.700
pressure will be on the ukrainians to acquiesce to some sort of ceasefire but a ceasefire would put
00:49:44.180
ukraine in a in a very bad situation so because russia could always start you know the gray zone
00:49:50.740
the little green men wars again because ultimately what putin wants is total acquisition of all of
00:49:57.760
ukraine or if he can't get it keep what he's got and then destroy what's left of it and break the
00:50:04.260
western will and stamina to continue to support it
00:50:07.640
where does your because the key here and you know we were there for the at the fights in the
00:50:14.040
white house but to get the europeans to step up to the two point the two percent of gdp which all of
00:50:19.180
them fought the germans fought the fought it the most and even even when they pay for it they get
00:50:23.280
close if you look at what they're really paying for it it trust me it's not armaments and in in
00:50:28.220
readiness i think you know i think the british can put up one combat division i read that the other
00:50:32.800
day one combat division i think the rest of nato correct me if i'm wrong maybe another one and a
00:50:37.900
half or two so you get three combat divisions max ready to fight out of all nato because they don't
00:50:44.020
want to pay for it they want to people want to pay for their health care and those sorts of things
00:50:47.360
so and i have no if the if the ukrainian people buy in and want to fight this hey i'm a nationalist go
00:50:54.380
for it but it's got to be europe and the party davis you go over to europe look at davos look at
00:50:59.180
switzerland look at austria look at the wealth look at wealth in germany look at the wealth
00:51:02.780
in italy look at all these bayonaires flitting around look at all of them right they're not
00:51:07.740
putting any money into this deal none zero the american taxpayer the deplorables
00:51:11.600
colonel harvey we've got about a minute i'd like to hold you over just for a few minutes i know
00:51:16.060
you're busy but do the europeans have the will to step up this because we did world war one we did
00:51:22.880
world war two we did the cold war three times a charm this is their deal do they have the will
00:51:28.860
to actually stand up to the russians in ukraine and back ukraine so that it's not an american deal
00:51:34.680
it's a european and ukrainian deal no as long as we're paying the bill writing the checks they're
00:51:41.140
gonna go along for the ride but they have not stepped up financially or militarily as far as the
00:51:49.100
core nato countries now i would say you know the former uh russian occupied countries like poland
00:51:56.640
romania etc they are doing what they can and you know because they have more direct experience with
00:52:02.840
with dealing with the soviet union and the oppression that existed there but there isn't that type of
00:52:08.100
motivation desire at all within the old nato countries
00:52:12.560
