00:07:58.460Rome, the historic cultural capital of Christendom, of the Christian world.
00:08:04.780Today, 3 p.m., is by tradition the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified.
00:08:11.300And that reflects the sombre atmosphere here today.
00:08:17.880Just behind me, in the Vatican, at St. Peter's Basilica, they're preparing for the way of the cross, the Via Crucis, which will be taking place a little later on this evening.
00:11:27.160I mean, it depends, of course, on whether there's any confidence that he will actually turn up and do something.
00:11:34.100If there's no expectation that he's going to be there.
00:11:38.040And I think I did read that he's actually already delegated most of Easter Day's responsibilities to another cardinal.
00:11:45.320So if he's not going to be visible and to take the lead on that, obviously, that will have a knock-on consequence effect for the faithful here in Rome.
00:12:44.860Jack, give me your perspective of what's happening on these college campuses as Turning Point continues to bring conservative speakers and really rally –
00:12:51.780I mean, these are pretty practical matters, the First Amendment, free speech.
00:12:55.120But, you know, women in women's sports, men in men's sports, these are not tough calls.
00:13:00.180Well, Steve, the reason the Turning Point USA continues to bring speakers to speak out on college campuses and people have said to us, you know, why do this?
00:13:11.760Why not go somewhere else where you're not going to face these protests?
00:13:21.760That's how you cede ground to the left.
00:13:24.340That's how the left took over every institution in America, by conservatives not standing up for the truth and conservatives not standing up to actually fight for what's right.
00:13:33.300That's why we went there, myself, Gavin Wax, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, outside of the Manhattan courthouse in New York City.
00:13:39.840When everybody told us not to go, well, we went and we stood right there.
00:13:42.980And it's the same thing that Turning Point USA is doing and continues to do and will continue to do on campuses across America.
00:13:51.300And we are not going to let the Marxist red guards of this neo-Bolshevist movement try to shut us up or shut us down.
00:14:00.600We are going to keep holding these events, whether it be Riley Gaines, whether it be myself, whether it be Charlie, whether it be Candace Owens, et cetera, et cetera.
00:14:07.800Steve, maybe we'll even bring you to some campuses, Steve.
00:16:28.720I called on Audible at the last second because it was a comeback with a cold open and get right into Bakhmut and right into Ukraine and all of it.
00:16:36.780But Chris Ruffo, you know, DeSantis, and look, I've said from day one, I think Governor DeSantis is doing a terrific job as governor of Florida.
00:16:46.860He's got Ruffo at New College, but you can tell now they're using that to launch at the University of Florida system.
00:16:52.560Ruffo's done this analysis that is at City Journal.
00:17:00.620This is when Posobiec talks about the Red Guard and the Cultural Revolution.
00:17:06.080We talk about the American Bolsheviks.
00:17:07.640Here you've seen the system of how they put it in place to take these great universities, state universities, like the University of Florida,
00:17:16.000and mold your children that they already take from the propaganda of the grade schools.
00:17:19.620That's why the Parents' Rights Movement is so big.
00:17:21.400But once you see the system they have for diversity, equity, and inclusion, then you understand the manifestation when you see these wild protests.
00:17:30.340Jack Posobiec, this is what they're doing, and this is – we're going to go to Leahy in Tennessee.
00:17:35.640We've got Riley Gaines in the San Francisco state.
00:17:38.980They have a system that is very much how Mao and the communists thought about how they have the most important thing they can do is destroy the traditional family and weaponize the children.
00:17:51.400Here in Florida, you know, we've said before how essentially this is Marcuse's long march through the institutions was how they were able to take over every institution in America.
00:18:05.220Well, what Rufo is doing and Governor DeSantis for putting him there, and of course, I wish we had 50 or I guess 49 more Ron DeSantis is running all the other states at this point and doing the same thing because what Rufo is doing is the antibody response to the pathogen.
00:18:22.600He's going in there and he's understanding how this virus has taken over these systems, which were originally set up for education.
00:18:31.300Now they're set up to churn out Marxist revolutionaries, whether that be on racial issues, whether that be now on these gender issues that we've seen again and again across the country.
00:18:43.060Then, of course, with the education schools, with that arm of it, those graduates, because in so many of these states, you're required an education MA to be able to go in as a teacher.
00:18:55.060Now they're going to your grade schools.
00:18:57.140Now they're going to elementary schools, your kindergartens.
00:19:00.260That's why you're able to find this everywhere.
00:20:53.300And today, of course, it is Good Friday.
00:20:56.000It is a day of sacrifice, but it is all – the day of the ultimate sacrifice.
00:20:59.760But it's also about accountability, sacrifice and accountability.
00:21:04.100So we need to be accountable to ourselves.
00:21:06.960The conservative movement needs to be accountable to themselves because the old republic, the republic that we used to have, the republic that followed the Constitution, yeah, that's been gone.
00:21:18.360It's gotten so bad that they've arrested our national party leader.
00:21:21.900They've arrested the head of the national opposition on the same day that Joe Biden will turn around and say that expelling a couple of these extremist Democrats in Tennessee is undemocratic when actually they're following the Tennessee Constitution in doing so.
00:21:35.800The people you're up against will assault Riley Gaines, the Red Guards, will be sent out in full force the exact same way that Chairman Mao sent them out during the Cultural Revolution in China.
00:21:51.840If we are ever going to defeat this regime, we must understand how to build a republic, and we must found a new American republic that is not built on globalist lines, that is not built on these lies of DEI and these racial and gender divisions that they're trying to use as neo-Bolshevik class divisions, ethnic divisions, and gender divisions in the United States.
00:22:13.780That's why they do this, Steve, because they're using it to foment a revolutionary class within America.
00:22:20.580And keep in mind that the revolutionaries, those people you see attacking Riley Gaines in the street, they'll never take power.
00:22:26.300They'll never be the ones in actual power.
00:22:28.840They'll be dealt with the same way the Red Guard youth were sent to the countryside and they were stripped of all their weapons by the military after Mao had re-solidified his control of the CCP.
00:23:17.440Tell us about – I didn't know the – were NATO and the United States – I didn't realize we were actually at war with Russia in Ukraine.
00:23:30.020And some of the revelations about the triumphalist narrative have been put to rest by the actual leaking of this war plan, sir.
00:23:38.640Yeah, Steve, so looking at these documents that I have reviewed, I'm not going to be releasing them because, of course, it looks as though there are Americans and others, American allies, NATO allies in harm's way.
00:23:52.020But when you look at the scope of what's in here, we really must ask the question, has the Biden administration been lying to the American people and have Biden administration officials been lying to Congress about the numbers and about the footprint of American soldiers and special operators, particularly when it comes to Ukraine?
00:24:13.140Are we directly involved with planning a spring offensive?
00:24:16.880Everyone's talked, by the way, about a spring offensive that's going to be coming from Ukraine.
00:24:20.580They're saying this is the big moment.
00:24:28.100But when you look at this, we I don't know that the American people realize the direct role that Americans are playing in this operation, not just the targeting, which we already knew would come out, which the Pentagon has confirmed.
00:24:41.800But they're also saying direct training of these forces before putting them into battle with the Russians.
00:24:48.600The real question here, Steve, is how do the Russians react to information like this?
00:24:53.520Because you got to assume that the Russians are getting these documents, probably more documents, especially with they're able to capture documents when they capture some of these brigades and battalions on the Ukrainian side.
00:25:03.560If they've got any of these U.S. briefings that they understand that the United States is not just a proxy to this combat conflict.
00:25:12.560We are an active participant in this conflict.
00:25:15.640And so how does the Kremlin respond when they understand that it's not just funding that is active direction and training by the United States against the Russians?
00:25:27.120And so when you look at it, the question is, why aren't we, you know, why aren't we suing for peace?
00:25:31.880President Trump has talked about this.
00:26:23.560And this number that, you know, the Europeans say it, the Ukrainians say it when they're saying 200 soldiers a day.
00:26:30.060And they always kind of say this number and then they walk it back and they say, oh, no, I might kill or wounded or this or that.
00:26:36.080But it seems like there is a true number that everybody on one side of the ball kind of knows, but the public seems to be kept in the dark about.
00:26:47.440Just real quickly, I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:26:49.320And I know you've got to bounce, but I need to hold you for a few minutes.
00:26:52.100The document itself says 70,000 Ukrainian dead and only 16 or 17,000 Russian.
00:27:51.120I just want to keep you because I got to pull the camera back and give the whole picture here, particularly what's happening in in in Taiwan.
00:28:00.060Terry Guo, the Foxcom's CEO, who's a total CCP asset who ran for president last time in Taiwan as a KMT, you know, easy on the the fifth column in Taiwan, has announced he's going to run for the presidency.
00:28:16.500This huge election is going to come take place in January.
00:28:19.840A lot going on is going to stick with us.
00:28:27.240They're done supporting companies that rake in hundreds of millions, sometimes billions of dollars while trashing the country that made their success possible.
00:28:38.560But companies like Patriot Mobile are building a whole new economy, one which embraces the values that made America the greatest country on Earth.

00:29:24.600Just go to PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon.
00:30:15.740Ladies and gentlemen, join us in Tennessee here in a moment.
00:30:19.060Jack, I just want to make sure the audience understands this.
00:30:21.300We're going to start putting up links.
00:30:22.460I've already put up one link from Grayzone overnight.
00:30:25.520There is a war plan that is a joint war plan with the United States and NATO about Ukraine, and this is about NATO and American combat troops and military support in Ukraine.
00:30:38.520Special forces of NATO in the United States in Ukraine.
00:31:04.040It's taken them six or seven months to get there, and there's not much left to defend, even as we speak.
00:31:09.620But they talk about this masturbatory fantasy of this spring offensive where they're going to pivot and drive to, if not try to go back to eastern Ukraine, drive to Yalta, drive to the Crimea.
00:31:23.240And at the gates of the Crimea, then force the Russians to negotiate.
00:31:57.640This is actually a joint staff update on a war plan of NATO and the United States.
00:32:03.920And Ukraine's not – they're kind of – that's just the location they're fighting in.
00:32:08.400They don't talk about a lot of Ukrainians going to be involved here, sir.
00:32:12.240Steve, what you're looking at is exactly right.
00:32:15.840They have this idea – and we've heard this, by the way, in other briefings, so it's not anything new here, that there's this plan that they're going to smash through the land bridge in – and targeting Mariupol and some of these areas that were hard fought over last year.
00:32:31.540And then use that to cut down into Crimea as a direct assault on the Crimean Peninsula itself, as it were.
00:32:42.620But I don't think the American people realize the extent not only of U.S. training and involvement but really direction in what's going on here.
00:32:53.100And what I'd love to see is I'd love to go to a congressman, Matt Gaetz, a congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, some of these other fighters out there, Speaker McCarthy.
00:33:02.420I'd like to know, have you seen these documents?
00:33:06.020Is this the same type of documents that you've been receiving?
00:33:10.420When I was in the IC, we knew that there was a set of documents, there was a briefing that you prepared for the generals, and there was a briefing you prepared for congress, and they weren't always the same.
00:33:21.760Because people knew that if something went to congress, they would say, well, you've got to prepare a different one for congress because congress is going to leak everything.
00:33:28.180So my question is, has the intel community, has the military and the administration been telling congress the truth?
00:33:36.020To congressman Gaetz, to the others out there, are these the same type of numbers that you've been seeing?
00:33:40.320Is this the same type of information that you've been seeing?
00:33:44.200We need answers, and I think we need to see subpoenas immediately about all of this.
00:33:49.400Because, Steve, last time I checked, I don't remember the United States Congress ever taking a vote on U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine.
00:33:55.980I don't remember there ever being authorization for this.
00:33:58.920Certainly, the post-9-11 authorization for military force, the AUMF, doesn't cover anything like this.
00:34:06.920You could question whether it covers anything.
00:34:09.580And so when I'm looking at actual U.S. military operations that are going on here, they're talking about Kherson, they're talking about Zaporizia, they're talking about Donetsk.
00:34:19.060That has nothing to do with anything that the United States military has been authorized for.
00:34:25.780And if this Congress and these House Republicans actually want to show that they do have power, power only exists in the exercise of power.
00:34:37.900It's not enough to simply get elected and sit on your hands.
00:36:52.940You're from the intelligence community.
00:36:54.740If you've got 70,000 Ukrainian dead troops and you've only got 17,000 dead Russian troops, the implication of this – and that's why we look at the thing about the special operators.
00:37:05.300You already have special operators from NATO, from these different countries in NATO, and the United States, think 14 or 15.
00:37:10.880You're going to have to meet the requirements of the strategic plan you're laying out of the pivot in a spring offensive to drive to Crimea and convince the Russians you can militarily take Crimea.
00:37:24.620You're going to have to have the insertion just on this math, sir, correct me if I'm wrong, of American combat troops.
00:37:32.000That's what this number – this is what the lie is.
00:37:34.320They're lying to you because the whole plan is to make sure that they're going to put in American combat troops to effectuate their strategy.
00:37:44.680Look, Steve, I mean, as much as we all love Kamala Harris around here, she had an interesting take at the beginning of this that everybody laughed about.
00:37:54.220And she said, well, Russia is a big country and Ukraine is a small country, right?
00:38:11.040When you look at the population, when you look upon the mobilizations, Russia has already smashed through multiple mobilizations of the Ukrainian people.
00:38:20.220That's why you see these videos out of Odessa, these videos, these press gangs out of Lviv that are going in that are targeting people to get them in.
00:38:27.580And it's not to say that there's not volunteers.
00:38:29.480But my point is at some point you start running out of your military-age men, your military-capable men.
00:38:37.600You start opening up the aperture more.
00:38:39.460You start bringing in more of these American fighters, foreign fighters, trying to do anything you can to just staff bodies up to the front line.
00:38:47.620But anybody can go and watch All Clyde on the Western Front, and you could see exactly what trench warfare is like.
00:38:54.140And that's what this Donetsk situation has really downgraded and degraded into.
00:38:59.420It's just trench warfare with drones above head.
00:39:03.040Because if you've got drones, you've got targeting, those tanks aren't exactly as useful and capable as they used to be.
00:39:08.460So when you're sitting here backstopping all of this, of course, is NATO.
00:39:13.340And then the question is, and I've said it before, Steve, how long before we hear that they're going to be establishing a NATO green zone in the West and that Lviv and some of these other NATO areas where we're supplying weapons to and we're going to be setting up NATO training centers, a NATO peacekeeping force.
00:39:42.240By the way, later today, I'm going to have Charlie Kirk on my program.
00:39:45.200We're launching a new website, defundthewar.com.
00:39:48.320We're doing an entire special tonight on Human Events Daily, me and Charlie Kirk, all about defunding the war, all about shutting this thing down because it's not serving, number one, the American people.
00:39:59.200And then when you look at these documents, you have to ask yourself, is this really serving the interests of the world to continue this slaughter and this bloodshed?
00:40:07.480By the way, it's called Defund the War.
00:40:11.640And what time is the special going to be?
00:40:32.940But we're going to get to this one too.
00:40:34.680Real quickly, the one that matters in Taiwan, I just want to – since you are a naval officer, I know you're Intel, but you are a naval officer.
00:40:47.360They've got – they're proposing a soft blockade right now of Taiwan.
00:40:50.540They're proposing to board ships that are headed to Taiwan under Taiwan, I guess, registry and to inspect them, quote-unquote, inspect their cargoes.
00:41:00.280If that happens, you've essentially got a blockade, a naval blockade, a sea blockade of Taiwan.
00:41:07.600Jack, how do you think this plays out?
00:41:09.500Well, Steve, and you and I spoke about this on the phone last night, that when you're talking about maritime interdiction operations or Mio operations in the Navy,
00:41:17.420the CCP, so the question becomes then for so much of these ships, they're targeting commercial shipping.
00:41:24.060They're not necessarily talking about warships.
00:41:26.160They're talking about commercial shipping.
00:41:27.880And so what the CCP is going to do is very simple, Steve.
00:41:31.040It has nothing necessarily to do with the military.
00:41:34.520If you go to one of these commercial shippers and you tell them that we are going to interdict your ship,
00:41:40.380we are going to hold it up for inspection,
00:41:41.820they're going to walk right in to these international chambers of commerce and they're going to say, pick one.
00:41:46.460They're going to say, pick us or Taiwan.
00:41:49.080Do you want to continue doing business with us or do you want to do business with them?
00:41:53.140And, Steve, I got to tell you, I don't need three guesses to tell you what answer they're going to give every time
00:41:58.900because then they're going to start pulling out.
00:42:00.800Then you're going to go after the insurers.
00:42:02.060You're going to go after Lloyd's of London.
00:42:03.640And they're not going to be able to get the reinsurance.
00:42:06.960Swiss Re is not going to be underwriting these things if they know that they're going to be running afoul of Chinese maritime interdiction operations.
00:43:36.380Also, if you look at this University of Florida situation, which Chris Ruffo has talked about the Herbert Marcuse takeover of the University of Florida,
00:43:45.380I think you could also point to the establishment churches, both Protestant and Catholic, is having that problem also.
