00:00:24.220 like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:32.040 had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:39.980 country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band
00:00:47.200 we have the backs of our friends and we hold our enemies to account and you know whether it's
00:00:58.520 ukraine or israel we take care of them because it's about freedom and we can never stop fighting
00:01:04.740 for freedom there is that populist strain and a lot of maga that wants the ukraine gravy train
00:01:10.400 financially and otherwise to stop and even there's a growing republican consent not consensus but
00:01:15.200 growing republican sport to say wait a minute checks and balances here what are we doing giving
00:01:19.560 all this money to ukraine where do you come down on the money on on the military uh whether it be
00:01:25.320 fighter jets x y and z biden was slow to the take he should have given ukraine what they needed right
00:01:30.760 when this started and we'd be in a totally different place right now this isn't a war about ukraine
00:01:35.920 this is a war about freedom and i don't think we need to put troops on the ground i don't think we
00:01:41.660 need to write them blank checks but they have the passion to fight for their own freedom give them
00:01:46.340 the ammunition to do it get with our nato allies and say hey we're not the only ones you've got to do
00:01:51.460 it too and let them win this fight but i'll tell you what if they win this fight you won't hear
00:01:59.220 anything from russia china or iran if they lose this fight russia's not going to stop at ukraine
00:02:06.020 they're going to go into poland and the baltics and we've got a world war on our hands
00:02:09.500 we have to make sure we send a message to every enemy that if you mess with our friends you're
00:02:15.780 messing with us and you don't want to do that and that therefore is america first in essence it is
00:02:21.320 taking care of america because we're preventing wars bottom line is there's a lot mounting evidence
00:02:25.820 and research that shows that these vaccines might not be as safe as well people once thought what is
00:02:30.980 your view on what's happening in terms of vaccine safety i mean they they scared people into thinking
00:02:35.900 they had to get a vaccine they scared uh people into thinking they had to close schools they scared
00:02:41.060 businesses into shutting down and all they did was make our country more unhealthy because they didn't
00:02:47.880 allow people to live at the end of the day if a small business wants to open they should have the
00:02:53.320 freedom to open and if a customer wants to walk in that business they should have the freedom to walk
00:02:58.000 in there if parents want their children to go to school they should be able to send them
00:03:01.840 and the child shouldn't have to be in a mask to do that because guess what elementary school kids
00:03:06.800 learn by facial expressions and now you see all of these mental health challenges that we have for
00:03:13.160 so many of our children and it's because of all um she's going to be my new mika um we got so much

00:03:39.580 start and by the way just for nicky we'll get to her vax maybe sometime later in the second hour uh
00:03:45.440 but you know she used to send out invitations i think to her book launch where you had to show proof
00:03:50.400 of vax i'll put that up later you had to show proof of vax to get into the book launch proof of
00:03:55.680 vax so don't don't give me the happy talk on vax that that's all neoliberal neocon stuff i want to
00:04:01.120 bring in uh ben harnwell uh ben you've been on top of first off the the munich arms dealers meeting
00:04:07.840 the the let me say it a different way and what a lovely town what a lovely town to put it in munich
00:04:14.280 right with so many great memories from munich of the 20th century what a better place what better
00:04:19.860 place to have the arms bizarre orgy uh then uh you know the guys are beating uh plowshares into
00:04:26.660 swords right just selling the world's nothing but the what the arms dealers the profiteers the
00:04:32.000 warmonger profiteers because everybody's over there and now that john mccain is uh gone through this
00:04:38.420 veil of tears you got the lindsey grams you got you got kamala harris gave an interview she actually
00:04:44.520 come across as dumber and less informed than nikki haley if that's possible and remember when you hear
00:04:49.640 nikki haley there with all the happy talk and the it's all about freedom um this is her wheelhouse
00:04:55.980 remember the the the national security is supposed to be her wheelhouse uh ben harnwell put it in
00:05:02.000 perspective we had zelinski and we're as we're getting these cuts because they're coming in hot
00:05:06.140 so we get denver uh working overtime with our crack team here in the nation's capital
00:05:11.120 zelinski just gave that interview in um to bbc uh and he's going to do a video here it to um
00:05:17.960 to uh munich that uh on the day that finally the mainstream media has realized they got to catch up
00:05:25.420 with war room they're calling it a winter offensive it started and they're pounding them on i don't know
00:05:30.580 a four or five hundred mile front zelinski goes no land for peace absolutely no there is no deal on
00:05:36.980 the table he will not sit down and negotiate that they've got to get back the eastern uh provinces
00:05:42.340 donbass and the other provinces and crimea 100 return of that ben harnwell your your perspective
00:05:49.340 on on munich and what you're hearing coming out of there well it's um really you've given me the
00:05:55.480 challenge steve of tying all these strands together because they certainly do belong together
00:06:00.180 well zelinski all he's doing is following through on the lead that the west have given him and they've
00:06:06.620 reiterated it innumerable innumerable times that this war ends when he wants it to end um on under
00:06:14.000 the terms that he wants they've given him that unilateral control and therefore uh he has no reason
00:06:21.880 whatsoever to to think about the negotiating table um that will only change when the west says we don't
00:06:31.700 have any more resources to send you president zelinski you're going to have to sit down and talk
00:06:35.740 um until that happens he's going to carry on there's no reason their incentive for him to um to stop
00:06:42.840 um and that's really what munich is about here but but but but hang on hang on one second hang
00:06:49.860 hang on one second i want to make sure the audience understands now that's where you come
00:06:53.940 in audience because this is all on morning mika all morning they've talked about the uh the populist
00:06:59.780 right the maga right the trump movement right uh in the republican party that is starting to rise up and
00:07:06.480 say absolutely not one more penny uh for ukraine and by the way we got to audit every every piece of
00:07:12.000 cash we sent over the fox news reported yesterday 200 billion dollars fox news 200 billion dollars in
00:07:19.740 in cash humanitarian aid basically we're paying for their gdp we're putting i think five billion
00:07:24.720 dollars in a month to get to gap it plus arms plus arms so 200 billion is either money already there
00:07:31.440 or commitments through this you're 200 billion dollars already the the the the key here is we're
00:07:37.680 shutting this down and you the audiences are the ones shutting it down you're the peacemakers because
00:07:42.600 peace has to come or the ukrainian people this is immoral the ukrainian people will be destroyed
00:07:46.920 continue on ben i particularly want to tie together the the political had a lead story this morning
00:07:52.520 europe the eu is no longer afraid of bannon okay they're afraid of bannon in 19 but they ain't afraid
00:07:57.920 now i got news for you you should be 10 times more afraid now we'll get into that but at the same
00:08:03.120 time there's a huge story ben harnwell that says that what they're really talking about is the
00:08:09.620 trillion dollars they're going to put in to rebuild the construction business is about to explode in
00:08:13.920 ukraine because all they're talking about is rebuilding the country and all the all the big
00:08:18.020 construction international construction companies making making tons of money connect those dots
00:08:24.020 for me brother harnwell and let me say at the top harnwell is the cynic i'm actually the idealist
00:08:29.200 i come across as harder but i've actually got a soft heart ben harnwell's got that he's that he's got
00:08:34.040 that beady-eyed englishman right that that's always in the in the counting room he's so he may live in
00:08:40.460 rome and and going all the great churches but he's he's a cynic at heart ben harnwell the floor is
00:08:46.280 yours well uh i don't know how to how i can live up steve to that introduction um yeah i mean look the
00:08:53.800 thing is look i am a libertarian i've been a libertarian for a number of decades i am now thanks
00:08:59.620 to my long familiarization with your thought a libertarian with bannonite characteristics but
00:09:05.860 fundamentally when i see the government doing something i think it's a grift uh and all they're
00:09:11.200 going to try to do is take my uh take the euros out of my wallet one way or another um and i view
00:09:17.780 everything i see everything any activity government does i see it through that lens so when i see oh
00:09:24.680 by the way um my view of our of our political leadership as i've indicated on a number of occasions
00:09:31.540 these people are sociopaths our overlords are sociopaths so when they start preening themselves
00:09:36.760 before the television cameras saying that they're interested in democracy and the rule of law and all
00:09:41.060 the rest of it um and that we need to protect our values um i i say bs right it's the first thing i
00:09:47.880 think i think how are they going to use such and such a pretext either the environment or um or ukraine
00:09:55.820 or or whatever it is or build back better how are they going and build back better obviously i mean
00:10:01.660 it doesn't even pretend to be anything other than than a grift but how are these people going to to
00:10:06.440 use this this uh crisis um which of course they themselves would have created um covid is another
00:10:14.880 great example how are they going to use this to rob me to take the money out of my hard-earned money out
00:10:20.300 of my out of my wallet so looking at the um that is the lens call it cynical that's the the lens i've
00:10:26.260 only ever viewed uh ukraine through and and that's why we're on the war room from day one and and we'll
00:10:32.580 come down to the new york times piece um in just a moment it's why what the new york times is saying
00:10:38.460 now after a year of this conflict we in the war room have been saying from day one this is an opportunity
00:10:43.340 to make money for our overlords first for the military industrial complex and once the mic has
00:10:52.740 sucked all the marrow out of the bone of this war the big grift uh will be in in the the reconstruction
00:10:59.460 the rebuilding of ukraine um and you know long-standing uh viewers on the war will have heard
00:11:06.400 us talking about this and now the new york times has picked it up and we'll come around to that article
00:11:12.000 um i just wanted to say with regards to um to ukraine however uh and and munich i cannot help but think
00:11:21.760 um steve you're you're you're you're a historian as well a passionate historian of the 20th century
00:11:28.260 um well i heard that this this munich security uh conference was now and it's a rogues gallery
00:11:35.280 right it's it's you know you all all our worst friends are there um from ursula von der lion
00:11:42.540 kamala harris olaf schultz uh emmanuel mini macron in his uh platform shoes they're all they're all
00:11:52.180 going to be there um preening themselves in front of the television cameras why munich well munich and
00:11:58.620 this is simply a speculation 75 years ago this year was the munich conference where the uh
00:12:05.260 the world the world leaders gathered together um neville chamberlain had a little bit of paper
00:12:10.520 and peace in our time as he called it um and that was really an objective to to stop
00:12:16.000 a world war world war ii from happening back in 1938 and they uh they ceded uh the sudetenland which
00:12:24.580 is part of northern czechoslovakia on the czech german uh border to germany uh it wasn't enough because
00:12:31.380 obviously uh hitler's plans exceeded far beyond simply uh the sudetenland and uh and the angelus
00:12:40.660 to austria and all the rest of it um but that's because we're dealing with two different phenomena
00:12:46.340 one was it was an ideologically expansionist totalitarian dictatorship and and i guess what
00:12:52.980 they're trying to suggest is that we can't make the mistake that we made 75 years ago in pacifying
00:12:57.180 hitler again with um vladimir putin but i think anyone who's been watching this closely and knows
00:13:03.900 the history knows the story realizes that these are two fundamentally different phenomena but that
00:13:08.920 is what our globalist overlords will be trying to suggest and therefore you know let's not repeat
00:13:13.760 the accidents and the mistakes of of the past and therefore we need to be all the expansionists hang
00:13:18.900 on hang on the expansionists this this is why i was in 19 the expansionists are are nato in the eu
00:13:24.440 they're the ones going into the sphere of influence of what russia's had and you got this is not about
00:13:29.400 freedom nikki this is about hard-nosed geopolitics hard-nosed geopolitics uh nick uh ben just hang on
00:13:36.480 i'm gonna have to have you have you hang on for the hour we're gonna come in and out we're gonna get
00:13:39.460 back to this i've got to go to break here in a second but i've got uh i've got pedro gonzalez we're
00:13:45.140 going to have nick sorter i got michael patrick lahey uh we're going to get into you notice they're not
00:13:50.080 talking about trillion dollars in new york times day he's talking about the construction
00:13:53.080 business that's going to be booming this is all they're lathered up about the booming construction
00:13:57.800 business is going to take place in ukraine okay as as they after that as he says as what ben said
00:14:04.120 after they've taken all the money from the arms dealers they're going to go into rebuilding it
00:14:07.500 you notice ben i missed the story in the new york times about the construction and reconstruction
00:14:13.240 and all the money's going to go into east palestine ohio right i haven't seen that yet they kind of
00:14:20.140 missed that one so we're gonna take a short commercial break we're gonna be we got harnwell
00:14:23.740 gonzalez sorter michael patrick lahey all of it only in the war room we're gonna go to east palestine

00:14:38.120 for the deplorables but for american citizens in the sovereignty of this nation and her people
00:14:45.100 all next in the war room a lot of people complain about the state of our country are the way woke

00:16:26.080 here's your host stephen k bant
00:16:28.540 dr colin call he helps guide the defense department's ukraine security assistance delivery process which
00:16:40.440 currently totals around 30 billion dollars it's great to have you on the show and we're at uh
00:16:46.800 almost the one year mark since the war began how much assistance has the u.s provided for ukraine
00:16:52.840 well as you mentioned thanks for having me on uh since the beginning of the biden administration
00:16:58.140 about 30 billion dollars of more than 29 billion dollars since uh russia uh invaded ukraine again
00:17:04.540 uh last february and what is that in the form of well uh the prioritization has shifted uh as the
00:17:10.720 battle has shifted so in the initial period of the war we were very focused on providing things like
00:17:15.180 anti-tank systems like the javelin or right stinger man portable air defense systems as the conflict
00:17:21.160 shifted to the east we really focused on artillery so how it serves these high mars systems people have
00:17:26.120 talked about and in the current period of the fight we're focused on air defense and armor i'm curious
00:17:30.900 about the training that might be happening and if more will be happening and also is there too much
00:17:36.980 of a delay like when you hear the intensity from the ukrainians it's as if they need you know
00:17:42.720 obviously what they need now and yet then when you hear about the delivery which you're involved with
00:17:47.860 it takes often months to get uh one you know if you could doing helicopters or abrams tanks it's a
00:17:56.000 months-long process well i mean obviously if you're ukraine and you're in an existential fight for the
00:18:01.040 survival of your nation you want everything and you want it right now uh i would say as someone who's
00:18:05.280 worked at the pentagon for a number of years to include before this administration if you had told
00:18:09.920 me a year ago we could have delivered 29 billion dollars of security assistance to anywhere on planet
00:18:14.720 earth i would have told you that you were crazy yeah uh and so in most instances especially when
00:18:19.960 we're drawing down from our own stocks uh-huh uh it's days between the when the president signs that
00:18:25.800 presidential drawdown and when start and stuff starts to flow into ukraine so dr call two questions on
00:18:31.680 further future assistance first would be we know that republicans have raised uh concerns they say
00:18:37.280 there just won't be a blank check um how worried are you how first of all how much longer will this
00:18:42.040 money last and then the concern is will you to get more and then what do you say that also the gop
00:18:46.960 criticisms that this money it can't be tracked how it's being used over there and they lean on the idea
00:18:52.660 of corruption and keith yeah well look uh i'll say this uh the congress has been very generous in
00:18:58.480 providing uh assistance for ukraine in two types of uh buckets these presidential drawdown that allows us
00:19:04.280 to draw out of our own dod stocks and then what's called usai money which allows us to contract
00:19:09.220 uh for weapons uh we believe we have uh an uh you know a good amount uh to last us through this
00:19:15.380 fiscal year um you know in terms of uh whether we can track it i mean sometimes you've heard that
00:19:20.380 we're not going fast enough and other times you hear we're going too fast and can't keep track of
00:19:23.800 what we're providing so it's a little damned if you do damned if you don't but in this case we're
00:19:27.660 making sure that uh everything we send in is uh accounted for we've worked with the ukrainians to
00:19:33.540 make sure they're scanning the objects reporting to the folks we have in the embassy now obviously
00:19:38.300 this is a war zone uh so that creates some constraints but uh we have to be good stewards
00:19:43.160 of taxpayer dollars and that's what we're doing has there been a special inspector general
00:19:47.700 uh nominated yet or put in place to oversee the spending yes well there there is an oversight
00:19:54.960 process both internal and then uh whatever congress needs we'll provide get her name that was the by the
00:20:02.640 way has it okay that's just all lies spin the misrepresentation the way they count fox news
00:20:08.600 had it yesterday 200 billion dollars in military aid and in humanitarian when they humanitarian is
00:20:16.660 we're paying for their gdp um and that's also the obligations through this year it's 200 million
00:20:22.080 and it's only going up pedro gonzalez you just got back from east palestine ohio with the hard
00:20:29.640 working citizens of this nation compare and contrast that to what you're hearing about ukraine and
00:20:35.500 particularly this kind of oh you know you got these hard right extremist republicans or and you saw
00:20:40.460 he saw his smirk you saw the uh lamir uh asked the question and and and dr uh what colin call had that
00:20:47.480 had the smirk uh pedro gonzalez your perspective and observation sir yeah i i don't think it's an
00:20:53.920 exaggeration at all to say that these people care more about ukrainians and their kleptocracy than
00:21:00.000 they do about middle americans in little east palestine ohio this is a village of 5 000 people
00:21:06.980 it's 98 percent white it's blue collar a lot of the people there are you know the the quintessential
00:21:14.580 middle american voter the people that voted democrat for many many years and then flipped for the
00:21:20.040 republican party in 2016 to vote for trump because he was speaking their language when he talked about
00:21:25.560 economic populism these are these are the again these are the quintessential forgotten people of
00:21:30.240 america and everything that you just saw in that interview from the haughtiness to the preoccupation
00:21:37.900 with foreign affairs and an irrelevant country that has nothing to do with the american interest
00:21:42.360 that's it i mean that is why again the the people in this part of ohio feel like they've been
00:21:48.460 completely abandoned by their government that was my impression from visiting uh the other day i spent
00:21:53.660 several hours in east palestine talking to locals and i i actually went there to get answers and i
00:22:01.900 left with more questions but it's precisely because the people there don't have any idea about what's
00:22:07.720 going on in their own backyard because they don't trust the federal government they don't feel like
00:22:12.340 they're being taken care of by the people who are supposed to be managing this crisis and yet you turn on
00:22:17.800 tv and you constantly hear about how we need to get more money to ukraine more aid for zelensky
00:22:22.320 um it's it's a shame i mean i tweeted this yesterday that every politician who has conflated the
00:22:30.400 ukrainian interest with america with the american interest especially in light of what's going on
00:22:34.080 right now in east palestine it should be ashamed of themselves it's really really disgusting and i don't
00:22:39.800 care if it's a republican or a democrat shame on them for subordinating the american interest to ukraine
00:22:46.920 i want to go back something you said even about taking care of them and this is you know that we
00:22:54.640 just got ranked number one by brookings and then the new york times did this piece of the number one
00:22:59.180 rated misinformation and one of the things the woman who did the uh who did the analysis for
00:23:03.980 brookings said that he calls into question every day the institutions uh and political processes in
00:23:09.540 this nation and our response is damn right we wear this with a badge of honor is it even before you get
00:23:15.980 to the take care of them isn't a more deeper and fundamental issue is that they can't get a
00:23:21.700 straight answer whether it's from dewine whether it's from epa whether it's from fema i mean it's
00:23:27.120 the misdirection plays it's all this general stuff you you don't know you know one the train derailed
00:23:33.120 that's a whole separate issue and you know they don't they want to take all the blue collar guys off
00:23:37.400 the train working the train and put a computer up there but then you got the controlled release you got
00:23:41.480 the controlled burn you got afterwards isn't their fundamental problem is everybody lies to them
00:23:46.620 or just spins or because they're just trash they don't they're just in the way they don't matter so
00:23:51.620 they're not worthy of your time to give them a straight answer pedro gonzalez yeah that's right
00:23:57.880 and again the people that live there are in the dark about what's happening literally in their own
00:24:04.080 backyard precisely for that reason they they can't get a straight answer from anyone they obviously don't
00:24:10.680 trust the railroad company they mostly feel that the mayor has done a great job but he's in over his
00:24:15.960 head and ultimately you know in the dark himself because he can't get answers that he needs when i
00:24:23.480 was there yes uh yesterday i obtained a copy of his schedule and i think this was also reported by local
00:24:28.840 news that a representative from norfolk southern was supposed to appear at the east palestine high
00:24:33.700 school auditorium for a question and answer with locals but they didn't show because they said they
00:24:38.120 didn't feel safe which is exactly how locals feel right now i spoke to people who uh have have
00:24:45.440 experienced rashes i spoke to people who woke up in the middle of the night uh and and their children
00:24:51.800 started puking because of what was in the air and they had to flee their homes at three in the morning
00:24:56.300 and not knowing what had happened and then coming back uh to the town and just seeing this black cloud
00:25:02.440 towering over east palestine and they they were at grand zero ground zero and they still don't really
00:25:10.120 have any answers they don't even know if they should be home and what's worse is that there are people
00:25:14.700 who even if they shouldn't be there for you know health reasons or whatever or they want to leave
00:25:19.480 they can't this is an economically depressed town how are they going to afford to just get up and go
00:25:24.700 and at the same time you have the the uh values of homes already in the area are decreasing so good
00:25:30.560 luck selling your house i mean it's really really shameful and disgusting what's going on and and how
00:25:36.340 these people are being treated and how again they're being left in the dark and it's really i think useful
00:25:41.740 to contrast that with our obsession with ukraine go back to that video that you played earlier with
00:25:48.920 nikki haley and her eyes light up as she's talking about ukraine you know it's it's not that she thinks
00:25:54.540 its interests are equivalent with american interests but they're somehow superior and i i i would ask
00:26:01.320 people like nikki haley to spend a day in east palestine and talk to people who live there and
00:26:07.020 look in their faces and see the frustration and confusion and sadness and uncertainty that's kind
00:26:12.720 of lingering over them and then talk to me she talks about and by the way you know for people who
00:26:20.880 served and defended freedom uh it has a and that's why we don't like freedom and liberty thrown around
00:26:26.180 as light terms and use this always the the uh like patriotism used to be right the last uh what uh um
00:26:33.860 place to hide for for a scoundrel i think it was ben johnson said that um the um this use of the
00:26:41.640 tone of freedom the freedom of the ukraine people in a slavic war over the eastern speak eastern the russian
00:26:49.480 uh speaking eastern border of ukraine 8 000 miles away versus the freedom what does she not get about
00:26:55.980 the freedom or no freedom of the people in east palestine uh pedro gonzalez well i think nikki
00:27:04.060 violence uh excuse me i combined two things that i wanted to say nikki haley is suffering from a brain
00:27:10.220 virus that abstracts america into a thing that's not actually home to a real flesh and blood people it's
00:27:18.920 just an idea right and it's an idea that has to be exported it's an idea that you can see represented
00:27:25.320 in places like ukraine even though ukrainians are not fighting for that idea nikki haley kind of imposes
00:27:31.480 it on them that's a really dangerous place to be i mean it's it's i've often likened this to the
00:27:36.940 french jacobins who started these revolutionary wars to spread what started in france across europe
00:27:42.600 uh these were really destructive wars uh and they also uh coincided with a domestic crackdown
00:27:49.400 on wartime descent which is what we know as the the reign of terror actually the reign of terror in
00:27:54.620 france was actually a crackdown on wartime descent um but i think again pedro hang on pedro just hang
00:28:02.140 hang on one second because i want to get into this further when you say reign of terror you get my
00:28:07.520 i'm perking up pedro gonzalez chronicles the editor of chronicles i get ben harnwell trying to track

00:29:58.460 uh um mike dewine sorter's been all over this thing doing great reporting on the scene uh pedro gonzalez
00:30:05.800 chronicles um continue on sir because here's what we got to get straight as a country right we're putting
00:30:12.900 200 billion dollars right now 200 billion dollars that's and it's going to be unlimited and it's
00:30:18.640 immoral because we've lied to the ukrainian people right now and this is why the first time i think it
00:30:24.540 was um one of the british papers i put it up this morning on getter said the winter offensive the winter
00:30:30.260 offensive by the russians has started and they're pounding these guys somebody said 30 i think the ft the
00:30:35.880 other day financial time said 30 000 rounds a day artillery they're getting pounded back to the stone age
00:30:41.620 you look at those buildings it's like dresden and at the end of world war ii remember these things
00:30:46.620 always end up as wars of annihilation that's what world war ii was a war of annihilation at the end
00:30:52.040 it's not so don't believe studs turco it's not some good war that's some fantasy you've been sold and
00:30:57.000 that's not about the valor and courage and dedication of the greatest generation of this nation and the
00:31:02.680 brits okay but that was the western part the killing fields the bloodlands is exactly where it is now
00:31:09.640 and it's going to be just as bad as we get sucked into this vortex when we had these uh happy talk
00:31:15.260 um you know neocons like nicky haley babbling it's just nonsense we're in a day this we're in the third
00:31:21.740 world war and you know who fights and get you know who fights and sacrifices it's the sons and daughters
00:31:28.200 of east palestine ohio and when you lose them by your lying and you're treating them like trash
00:31:36.660 once you lose that you don't have a country anymore uh pedro gonzalez dots and observations
00:31:42.720 i think it was it was either john meersheimer or doug mcgregor that said that u.s policy in ukraine is
00:31:48.620 to fight russia to the last ukrainian to basically throw as many ukrainians as possible on russian
00:31:54.400 swords for the our foreign policy or rather washington dc's foreign policy objectives are there and it is
00:32:01.920 really ghoulish and you can go back briefly look at the history of all of the things that made this
00:32:08.040 war inevitable and what you'll find is is that the united states at every conceivable turn put the world
00:32:15.240 on this collision course again that's not to say that the american people did that because obviously
00:32:20.460 they didn't they had no say in this right but that's just the reality of it and that's part of the
00:32:25.080 problem is is precisely that that our government our policies are ultimately unaccountable to americans
00:32:31.820 and again this this goes back to uh east palestine the response from the government from our
00:32:40.480 transportations are has been that basically these things happen these things happen all the time there
00:32:45.820 are thousands of derailments every year this is unfortunate however it's nothing out of the usual
00:32:51.600 now contrast that again to the urgency to the virtually unlimited amount of resources and
00:32:59.020 attention and money and aid that we're sending to ukraine as fast as humanly possible we're not
00:33:05.460 seeing that during a crisis in here and in the american heartland that's actually affecting uh the lives
00:33:13.140 of americans in direct and really concerning ways um there there are people that i spoke to that have
00:33:20.260 shops in downtown east palestine and they told me that they come to work and and they still will
00:33:26.280 develop uh kind of a like a burning sensation in their throat and eyes uh that people will walk into
00:33:33.360 their stores and that they can still kind of smell this chemical smell and these are just you know
00:33:37.620 people that are passing through like myself these people in east palestine they don't have a choice
00:33:41.740 you talk about freedom these people are not free to go anywhere they can't afford it their homes are
00:33:47.320 i spoke to a family that worked uh the both the husband and wife work at a at a ceramics uh factory
00:33:53.220 that was actually very close to where the train derailed and this factory is home to kilns that are
00:34:00.100 over a hundred years old these two people um have lived in east palestine their entire lives they
00:34:07.100 actually met in high school there they've never left the old actually in fact the only time that the
00:34:12.140 husband has ever left east palestine was for a six-year period when he served in the air force
00:34:17.320 other than that east palestine is all he knows they have nowhere to go these people don't have
00:34:22.080 freedom to leave to get up and go and in fact they probably don't want to because they love this town
00:34:27.080 that's why they're there they're not there because the opportunity they're there because it's home
00:34:30.340 and the fact is that people like nikki haley and joe biden and you know republicans and democrats
00:34:36.460 who are preoccupied with ukraine don't care about these people and it's really shameful
00:34:41.800 it's disgusting and revolting and we're going to stop it we're going to stop it in the house of
00:34:47.820 representatives here's how much money we're going to give to ukraine nothing if the you're we okay we
00:34:53.240 did this in world war one we did it again in world war ii we did it again the cold war three times a
00:34:58.580 charm fourth time it's on the eu all those people in davos in the ski resorts all those people in
00:35:03.900 austria all those people in northern italy all those people in france and in germany germany
00:35:08.360 and the nor the scandinavian countries and hey for good let's go to chelsea and knightsbridge over
00:35:14.800 in the in london cough it up you want to do it we got no problem you pay for it and you're absolutely
00:35:21.380 correct mersheimer's correct is that we're fighting russia to the last ukraine it's immoral what
00:35:26.660 mersheimer said we're going to lead these people down the primrose path and then abandon them at the
00:35:31.580 end and this is what you're seeing now as they're getting pounded pedro how do people get to your uh
00:35:36.420 twitter all your social media and chronicles where they get your where do they get to your
00:35:41.140 writing and your thinking sir you can read my column at chronicles at chroniclesmagazine.org
00:35:46.080 and my social media and my other writing is available at contra.substack.com
00:35:51.260 pedro thank uh thank you for joining us thank you for going there we'll be back in touch
00:35:57.460 appreciate it thank you
00:35:59.200 pedro one of the smartest uh young men out there let's go to uh nick sortor he's been all over this
00:36:05.700 nick we're going to try to get the clip i don't think we have it yet from newsmax but but talk to
00:36:10.360 us about what you did with mike dewine and what we're hearing about his response sir and why you did
00:36:15.400 it so essentially what happened was uh mike dewine had been asked to come on newsmax to respond to the
00:36:25.140 video uh that i posted yesterday of a resident's backyard stream and the just sheer amount of
00:36:34.900 chemicals that was in this water uh it we basically we we threw a rock in the water and this this big
00:36:44.280 pool of chemicals that had just really a really toxic smell came up off the bottom of the creek bed
00:36:51.320 and essentially turned the stream into a rainbow uh the video that you're seeing right there has now
00:36:56.640 gotten 12 million views across all platforms um and that's in 16 hours so you know it's it's getting
00:37:05.900 to the point where government officials do have to respond to this because it's really making them
00:37:10.640 look bad as it should because this is something that you know they've been telling the residents here
00:37:16.460 that oh the the the water's clean you know we've gotten we burned out all the chemicals that were
00:37:22.220 in the stream and you know everything should be fine you know they were even talking the other day
00:37:27.360 about kids playing in the water i can't even imagine having my kids go within you know 100 yards of this
00:37:35.580 water a lot of people won't even let their kids back into the town because of the water contamination
00:37:39.620 so having this video go out there i i'm really hoping that it's going to you know maybe drive some action
00:37:47.480 from them but uh but we'll see because mike dewine came on there and and again denied that there's any
00:37:53.720 sort of issue hang on i want to go to bother we're going to push this video we had it up last night
00:38:00.580 uh in the audience response it was incredible nick nick nick i want to bifurcate it because you know
00:38:06.180 the patrons brought the thing about buddha judge and the derailment and of course if these trains
00:38:10.320 were going through east hampton the hamptons they'd be they'd be solved but they're going
00:38:14.940 through the heartland america and that's where you've seen these derailments and that's big
00:38:18.400 but my biggest beef is post derailment when that when the things are on the side of the road they had
00:38:25.300 the first explosion and then they're on the side of the road with the liquid in it and they got to make
00:38:29.660 a decision what they're going to do and next thing you know we're doing a uh we're doing a uh what is a
00:38:34.760 well they they they do a controlled release of the of the liquid because they're afraid it's going
00:38:40.460 to blow up then and they've dug a ditch it goes in the ditch and then they just burn it and and you
00:38:45.500 can't get a straight answer from anybody who came up with the idea of the control release just out into
00:38:50.480 the atmosphere why didn't it go into other trucks when you just and well who decided to burn it in
00:38:54.840 this city with all these kids and people there and this is why i know we got on because that we've
00:38:59.660 gone to like he's gone to epa we've gone everywhere and you can't find anybody i'll take
00:39:04.680 responsibility for it and now what they've done to cover them they've allowed the people i mean
00:39:09.740 they had the kids come back into school they took a year off had the kids in mask because of of the
00:39:15.960 ccp covet 19 virus a year and and they couldn't four days after the blunt they're putting phosgene
00:39:22.320 gas you know like the battle of the psalm in world war one they got phosgene going up and they
00:39:28.160 get the little kids back in school on monday nick sorter your thoughts and observations
00:39:32.080 so one thing that a lot of people don't know is in this backyard where this stream is
00:39:39.860 the stream actually runs really close to the to the railroad tracks and you can see very clearly
00:39:47.360 where that water ran from the ditch you know where this controlled burn was or controlled burn if that's
00:39:54.080 what you want to call it it runs almost straight into this to this stream and but i mean you can go
00:39:59.620 miles down the stream and you're going to get the same result you're going to see the same
00:40:03.020 uh amount of chemicals in the water because we tested that as well um but digging that ditch didn't
00:40:10.620 do anything to help that's that's hardly a controlled release because you just released it into the
00:40:16.080 waterways right you know and i mean it was a exactly totally stupid decision exactly uh and you're
00:40:22.860 right we have no idea who's i've been asking that question every single day no no no no no no no
00:40:27.800 hang on this i want to be precise because at the time and i'm not trying to single out and pick on
00:40:34.260 northern southern they get their narfolk so they got their own deal they got to do
00:40:37.340 it's not a stupid decision for the railroad they got to get the tanks off the track and get the
00:40:42.000 track back open again and start moving freight right for them it's the logical thing let's get
00:40:46.880 let's tell them it's going to blow up in shards let's pump it out and then burn it that's a quick
00:40:51.600 if we got if we got to do a control from that to a truck or another train that's going to take too
00:40:55.540 long that could take a week no let's dump it out let's do a control release oh they got the creek
00:41:00.820 next to it's going to fall in the creek we don't care we're going to burn the rest right right i guarantee
00:41:05.380 you could probably burn you could probably light a mesh in that creek and it would it would burn for a
00:41:09.420 light up yet the people yes nick the the people there think they're treated like trash that they
00:41:17.860 just don't matter and they're just nuisances the in the way here sir absolutely what what they want
00:41:24.100 is uh is some sort of um and they're they're finally starting to get it just a little bit is
00:41:30.860 some sort of recognition from the the the federal government why did it take 13 days for the epa
00:41:37.880 administrator to come in for uh one of the largest environmental disasters in modern american
00:41:44.780 history right it's because they didn't want anything to do with these people and these people
00:41:49.680 knew that they knew what they thought from you know because everybody was worried about the uh the
00:41:54.520 the balloons and such last week and they a lot of them think that that was a big cover-up uh that
00:42:00.320 that was a a distraction anyway and they do firmly believe that but when it comes to
00:42:06.320 how they're feeling right now i think they feel that as soon as the media coverage goes away
00:42:13.160 that the federal government's going to go away as well they think the federal government is stalling
00:42:17.260 um doing you know much of nothing and they feel that that way about mike dewine too if i'm completely
00:42:23.700 honest with you they don't trust anything that comes out of that guy's mouth uh especially and
00:42:28.160 especially matt he didn't show up to the town hall the other day and they're not able to ask
00:42:31.520 him any questions either so oh no he's not he can't answer nick if you can i know you got to
00:42:37.420 get back to reporting just hang on for one second take a short break uh nick sartor is with us we're
00:42:41.960 going to take a short break trying to track down leahy we're all over this east palestine remember
00:42:46.400 this shows you the managed decline of our country and actually i would argue right now shows you the
00:42:51.080 bottom falling out of the country you look at the veterans and and those that gave their lives in
00:42:57.020 in defense of this country over in iraq and afghanistan where they come from is the heartland
00:43:02.600 of this nation they come from the little towns and villages of east palestine ohio okay when you
00:43:08.540 lose those people you've lost your country and when those people feel like hey we're just trash we're
00:43:13.680 just in the way that's when you lose a nation that's why this story is so important this story
00:43:19.300 gets to the heart this and the ukraine get to the heart of it all the thing itself remember always
00:43:24.240 keep the main thing the main thing short break back in the warm just a second
00:43:29.480 because we're taking down the ccp spread the word all through hong kong we will fight till
00:43:38.960 they're all gone we rejoice when there's no more let's take down the ccp
00:43:44.820 covidtaxrelief.org got a small retail business almost eighty thousand dollars covidtaxrelief.org
00:43:55.560 got a manufacturing business nearly two hundred and fifty grand and covidtaxrelief.org just got a
00:44:04.820 large distribution business almost nine hundred thousand dollars if you run a business church or

00:46:14.600 and misrepresentations walk us to where's your reporting going you're going to be there um tell us
00:46:19.900 where this story's going from your perspective right now sir so what i think is going to
00:46:26.060 i i think that like i said this video is hopefully going to really force the government's hand and
00:46:36.240 address this problem because i think they were really hoping that nobody was going to see this
00:46:40.800 right now because there's no way in hell anybody was you know from norfolk southern or the epa or anybody
00:46:48.940 knew that this was actually a problem right they had they've had to have been waiting in this water at
00:46:54.580 some point you know at a minimum just to put the booms up so but how come we didn't know about this
00:47:00.320 until now how come it took some uh some twitter reporter to go out there and and figure it out by
00:47:06.380 throwing a rock in the water you know nobody had seen this stuff before and then luckily jd vance picked
00:47:12.780 up on it too and he put he pushed it out there and uh and i think there's been a lot of waves made off
00:47:18.400 of it and i i really really sincerely hope that if we uh and believe that if we keep pushing on this
00:47:25.180 they're going to have to do something they're going to have to do something they can't leave it like
00:47:30.160 this we're going to force their hand we got a couple things up our sleeves i think are going to
00:47:35.160 help assist this nick how do people get to you and follow your reporting uh best place to do it is
00:47:41.840 going to uh twitter and uh it's at nick sorter it's right there at uh n-i-c-k-s-o-r-t-o-r
00:47:49.880 and i pretty much live tweet it throughout the day and we try to uh keep everybody as updated as
00:47:57.460 possible on it as soon as things develop it's on my twitter you look at cnn msnbc fox news the wall

00:48:15.520 that has people's back on a twitter account and he's doing millions and millions of views why

00:50:21.360 family and that's why over here at my patriot supply we're passionate about helping people
00:50:26.640 you know since the balloon and the awareness that we were that close to having an emp explode over
00:50:32.200 the middle of the u.s taking down our power grid orders for emergency food and survival gear like
00:50:38.200 anti-radiation tablets fair day bags to protect against emps they've all quadrupled and since then
00:50:45.380 there's been other stories coming out where crafts or balloons have been shot down and the stories that
00:50:50.300 they're telling us makes no sense to americans customers are calling us here at my patriot supply
00:50:56.200 they know they're not hearing the whole story or really any of the real story of how close we were to
00:51:02.040 a natural disaster you know we talk about these train derailments these home shot videos of the
00:51:08.060 contamination of the land and water sources around east palestine ohio and into pennsylvania
