00:16:50.260Atlantic Magazine's got a bunch of pieces we're going to go through on the Ukraine war.
00:16:53.360we're gonna get to all that momentarily i want to bring in john solomon
00:16:56.280john uh the you know we played the great max evans did this mashup of uh biden on let's finish the
00:17:05.040job we we had mark mitchell on about the polling his polling is and rasmussen does a very good job
00:17:10.920his polling's terrible trump's up by eight or by seven 48 41 if you add desantis to the ticket which
00:17:16.740i'm not so sure right now we could count on maybe later as as temper is temper is cool
00:17:22.480but it's 51 43 what do you think about the let's finish the job and particularly how you know we
00:17:29.380had john fredericks on just ripping on jill biden about the situation with the the little granddaughter
00:17:34.400you had him down in arkansas on the court getting ripped on but there's something more insidious
00:17:39.900going on here uh this almost looks like a racketeering effort to protect him you've got
00:17:44.200a brilliant article up on justin news about this break it down for us well yeah listen a lot of
00:17:49.500great work by people like Senators Johnson, Senators Grassley, James Comer, Jim Jordan.
00:17:54.380They've all put pieces of this together. Two things are happening. We're getting a sense of
00:17:59.000just how large the influence peddling scheme was for the Biden family. A dozen members,
00:18:03.960tens of millions of dollars going through LLCs and being distributed all around.
00:18:07.680So that part, we're still learning that it was much bigger than even we thought when I started
00:18:12.180breaking the stories in 2019 when Peter Schweitzer wrote the book. But now we're beginning to see
00:18:17.140just how much effort the Biden machine put into suppressing this information, even to the point,
00:18:23.180according to Senators Johnson and Grassley, of lying to Congress. Yesterday, Johnson and Grassley
00:18:28.240sent a letter to Blinken saying, you lied to us. You said you didn't email and text with Hunter
00:18:32.540Biden. You said you didn't have phone calls with him. We found some of you directly corresponding
00:18:37.220with him. And your wife at the State Department was a backdoor conduit for information with
00:18:42.700Hunter Biden, we want you to now preserve records and turn them over to us because we no longer trust your word.
00:18:48.760This is the same Blinken that also engaged in the cover-up operation by getting Mike Morrell, instigating him to write the letter that falsely declared the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.
00:19:00.500So the cover-up is now becoming a really significant thing.
00:19:04.280Jim Comer said to me, James Comer said to me yesterday, I think it's a very important quote.
00:19:08.260Hunter Biden will turn out to be another privileged Democrat who is being treated differently by the justice system.
00:19:17.020There are concerns that Scott Perry raised yesterday that maybe the Justice Department, and I'm hearing this from a lot of people, but Scott Perry said it out loud, that the Justice Department may have allowed statutes of limitations to expire so that Hunter Biden couldn't be charged with something that is sitting in plain open, that Congress has had for two years.
00:19:34.960that he didn't pay taxes on $400,000 of Burisma money.
00:19:39.220So if the Justice Department, the intelligence community,
00:21:32.380Pass a law in the budget next year that says anyone who signed that letter can never get a security clearance.0.71
00:21:37.600You can't make security contracts if you don't have a clearance.
00:21:39.880And they never can get another federal dollar.
00:21:42.060That would be a consequential thing for those 51.
00:21:44.980Tony Blinken, if he continues to lie or if it's proven that he's lied, there's a very simple thing.
00:21:49.840all right, the Biden Justice Department is not going to prosecute him. He'll have to work for
00:21:54.100$1 going forward. We'll defund his job and maybe defund his staff and defund his travel so he can
00:21:59.400be a secretary of state who plays hermit in Washington. He can't leave the city because
00:22:03.880they won't fund the travel. Those are the sort of things that Kevin McCarthy and his lieutenants
00:22:08.520and these chairmen are talking about in September when they pass the first budget in a decade.
00:22:13.920They'll have that opportunity to do it. If they do it, they deliver some accountability that
00:22:18.080Americans have been crying for. If they don't, we're back to Benghazi too.
00:22:23.940I want to turn now to something that you're currently working on, a new project you're just
00:22:28.600about to release and talk about. And we had Darren Beattie on here talking about lawfare
00:22:32.840and the Dominion situation. This is why I want all of our audience to read the interview of the
00:22:38.360chairman, the exclusive on Axios of the chairman and CEO of Dominion, because in the First Amendment,
00:22:46.040you should be able to see all this. And one of the problems is what Darren B. is talking about
00:22:49.640is about lawfare. You're very interested in this personally. Walk us through this book you've just
00:22:54.980written. Yeah, I wrote a children's book. I never thought in a million years I would do that. But
00:22:59.580it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. And it is born of two experiences. One is a
00:23:04.120funny family moment that played out right here on Real America's Voice. A couple of years ago,
00:23:08.260my son, who's autistic, got a hamster. My wife and him went away for a quick family trip. I was
00:23:13.400left with one job. Feed the hamster, don't lose him. I fed him, but I lost the hamster. He got
00:23:17.760out. I left the cage open. I spent five hours on my hands and knees with a stethoscope finding him
00:23:22.800in an air conditioning vent, get him back in his cage. I thought I had dodged a bullet.
00:23:27.420The next day, Amanda had my co-host told the entire world the funny story. My wife found out
00:23:31.660I was in pretty big trouble. So I figured I got to make amends for Chunk the hamster.0.94
00:23:35.360So we came up with him as a character in this book. But the real reason for the book
00:23:39.180is my extraordinary sorrow and pain that I witnessed starting in 19 when I saw elements
00:23:45.940of my profession, young reporters and journalists thinking that censorship was good and seeing
00:23:50.760people in government promoting censorship, seeing First Amendment advocates staying silent in the
00:23:56.060face of clear illegal censorship. And I started to wonder what's going on here. And I found out
00:24:00.380something really important. I know you've known this because you've been fighting the culture0.86
00:24:03.140War. I didn't pay this close attention. There are two generations of Americans who went through
00:24:09.400schools and were not told, taught the civic lessons about why the Bill of Rights is so
00:24:13.600important, why the First Amendment was first. They actually were led to believe that censorship
00:24:17.580from the government could be a good thing in certain circumstances to benefit a larger
00:24:23.220collective. All of those are anathema to the founding of this country and what our founding
00:24:27.160fathers were. So I said, listen, I'm not going to sit here and take this. I'm going to write a book
00:24:30.980So parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, everyone can take their children and teach them that free speech is important, even if their teachers and their principals and their school districts wouldn't teach them that.
00:24:45.360You can get my book free if you sign up for their monthly book club.
00:24:48.240It tells the story of a hamster, Chunk, who publishes a newspaper, and he can't get it out to the public because the tubes in his hamster village are clogged by an evil koala bear named Carl,
00:30:35.340battle um we've got the beginning phase of third world war ukraine spring offensive is starting up
00:30:43.360we don't know and you have information warfare and you have cyber warfare and i'm going to talk
00:30:47.840about that in a second because this is the biggest priority concentrated military effort
00:30:52.440since really world war ii is is upon us uh and i want to go to ben harnwell first ben just a bunch
00:30:59.640of articles i want to make sure because this is the reporting coming out of europe that's much
00:31:02.720more informed than reporting out of the united states first off as we had the technical problem
00:31:07.300yesterday you and i having a great conversation about the guardian first did there was a big
00:31:11.900article about the oysters and champagne among the elite in kiev it's a town like paris or milan
00:31:18.040or like the hamptons at one level and then they came out with another article a day or two later
00:31:23.280that said that the working class and the middle class that are selling their goods basically
00:31:27.840survive day by day in which they actually reference the fact that the oligarchs and the
00:31:32.580wealthy and the people around them are doing very well. Walk me through that quickly because then
00:31:37.800I want to get to the telegraph telling us, hey, I don't know what everybody's talking about,
00:31:42.080but we're not so sure they're winning this war. That's right, Steve. I mean, I've got three
00:31:47.180articles to go through with you now. And the common theme that runs through all of them is
00:31:53.080that basically our sociopathic overlords want your money to keep this war going at any cost
00:31:58.920and if if it looks like peace should unexpectedly break out they're going to stamp that down and
00:32:05.760just keep this thing rolling so here's the first article which you just mentioned in the guardian
00:32:10.520the headline porn shops and bread queues poverty grips ukraine as war drags on and it's a tragic
00:32:18.580story steve it's basically how this war has pummeled the middle class and the working class
00:32:25.540of ukraine um and it's pummeled them into penury and there's this shocking stories illustrated with
00:32:33.280actual personal um anecdotes of how like accountants and what have you um that were
00:32:39.500professional had working for for companies everything going well up until the war and now
00:32:45.880they're reduced to pawning you know telephones cars what have you um just in the hope that they
00:32:53.140can continue to put food on the table now the point i want to the end the end sentence because
00:33:00.220i was reading this article i think thinking to myself why is the guardian pushing this story
00:33:04.560very at the very end it says um that economist olena billen sees a deepening crisis but says
00:33:12.080that without a huge package of financial support there we go from the international community that
00:33:17.660is the united states including pledges worth 43 billion the situation would be much worse that's
00:33:24.360what this is uh about it's just a constant hit uh for the u.s taxpayers money and i don't think
00:33:32.660particularly kevin mccarthy is much interested um in this he's already i think uh preparing for his
00:33:39.000eventual role but that that the point here is that they want your money the second point steve
00:33:44.900is just just think one moment what life was like in ukraine before this war was brought about and
00:33:51.780why why western powers have kept it going people who had no expectations of having anything other
00:33:58.840than a blossoming future and now on the breadline um and this can happen in ukraine because what's
00:34:04.180push them into to poverty like this is this war and it's going to happen in the united states as
00:34:09.560well middle class people they're driving around in in lexuses so they're thinking about the
00:34:14.160education of their kids and their long-term pensions and their health care and it's all
00:34:18.340going to go it's all going to disappear and people in united states will have the same future that
00:34:23.840people in ukraine have there's a there's a parallel situation there like the second point
00:34:29.440that i that i want to um that i want to mention now is coming back to this is is the is the
00:34:36.040telegraph um article which you were just mentioning um and here the article here the headline is
00:34:44.700whisper it but ukraine may no longer be winning um that's what i call a crack of sunlight into
00:34:54.220the dog cave of lies and deceit that the mainstream media push and keep us in, that I'm going
00:35:02.920to go to the very end of this article, literally the last paragraph here, because I think that
00:35:09.600illustrates exactly what the context of the whole article is.
00:35:13.020As long as Ukraine has the will to keep fighting, it must never be left to the whims of disingenuous
00:35:20.420actors who sensing a stalemate will try to force it to make peace on unfavorable terms
00:35:27.280western complacency now may lead to such a disaster in the autumn that's basically saying
00:35:34.280that the west should should do all that it can to keep this war going this is this is the new
00:35:40.160forever war um this point is brought up perfectly and i mentioned it just before the break but now
00:35:47.440I'm going to have a quick moment to dive a little bit deeper here in this article, which is by, as I say, it's the cover article of this month's edition of The Atlantic.
00:35:57.920I'm going to go back quickly and parallel these headlines just to indicate the difference here of the tone.
00:36:09.020Right. They tried to tone this down. The original headline was the case for the total liberation of Ukraine.
00:36:17.440Russia must be expelled from all Ukraine's territory, including Crimea, and of course, including Luhansk and Donetsk as well, presumably.
00:36:27.180That was toned down to Zelensky's plan to defeat Russia and take back Crimea with the absurdly hyperbolic follow on.0.69
00:36:39.100The future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukrainian military can break the stalemate and drive Russia out of its territory.
00:36:48.500Well, obviously, there are two points here. The first point is they know the Atlantic, especially its authors here, Jeffrey Goldberg and Applebaum, they've never met a war they didn't like.
00:37:01.720And all they're doing here is carrying water for the military industrial complex.
00:37:07.020I mean, that's absolutely clear. That's all they've ever done for decades. That's what they're doing here.
00:37:10.720They're just trying to keep this war going. And how are they trying to do that, Steve?
00:37:14.360Well, they know that in any eventual ceasefire or peace negotiations, Russia is never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to accept these terms.
00:37:24.140What they're trying to do, therefore, what the US is trying to do is cement Ukraine into having this position that is all of its territory back, no compromise, as Ukraine's red line.
00:37:37.460Well, that's just going to kick this war on for decades because there's never, ever going to be a compromise around that.
00:37:44.360And I think what the Atlantic did was say that they splashed their original position, realized very quickly that they're putting their cards on the table here, and then tried to step back and be Mr. Reasonable, and obviously with a heavy dose of scam.
00:38:00.700I'll just repeat this, which I think is just deflection and diversion, that the future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukraine military can break the stalemate.0.50
00:38:23.460I'm going to bring Rebecca Koffler on in a second.
00:38:26.340One of the things I want to mention that got me thinking over the last couple of days, because of the cyber element of this and what's happening in Taiwan, this spring offensive is going to be led by massive cyber attacks by both sides, by Ukraine and Russia.0.66
00:38:39.760And Russia, we know, is one of the tops in the world, probably maybe the best.
00:38:44.200Ukraine, with the American military and artificial intelligence, can give as good as it gets.
00:38:48.500The Chinese Communist Party, what's happening in Taiwan, we already know.
00:38:51.680There are already cyber assaults taking place on certain fleet elements there.
00:38:56.460This is how they're prepping the battlefield.
00:38:57.640Also, in this discussion on our economy, one of the things that's coming up is the cyber industrial espionage that's taking place.
00:39:35.400the most sophisticated thieves in the world, the most sophisticated kind of combatants in the world
00:39:39.760is all through cyber now. And artificial intelligence is already helping that.
00:39:45.840You've seen the aspects of these clerks. The county clerks with your titles is the most
00:39:50.580rudimentary thing in the world. And I want to make sure, particularly, we're going to go through a
00:39:54.380massive downturn here. Your anchor to Windward is going to be your home and the equity you have in
00:40:00.140your home. Just remember that. I think 90% of the net worth of the American people is tied up in
00:40:04.960their home. That mortgage payment is essentially your savings account. And you have to make sure
00:40:10.800in a world that's hurling towards a third world war where all this cyber and the cyber attacks
00:40:16.720are everywhere, we're going to get to a second in what they think may be a drone attack on the
00:40:21.640Kremlin, that in a world of cyber warfare, in a world of cyber espionage, a world of artificial
00:40:27.440intelligence where the sophistication of these tools is rapidly increasing, make sure you're
00:40:32.560not a victim you got to go to home title lock today go to home title lock dot com ben and you

00:41:23.540talking about that more tonight and tomorrow it's one of the things that worries me no end that our
00:41:27.940our audience is going to get caught up in this entire madness that's engulfing the war the world
00:41:34.360here's the madness you don't think it's mad the morning we wake up rebecca koffler you're the0.67
00:41:40.360expert on this was the kremlin actually assaulted by a drone attack by the ukrainian military
00:41:46.720ukrainian military very sophisticated they got all the advanced american weapons you got american
00:41:51.140artificial intelligence you got the most sophisticated drones in the world and these
00:41:54.840drones are like, you know, stable platforms. There's drones that now talk about are circling
00:42:00.200Taiwan 24-7, Chinese drone, Reaper-type drones of these weapons platform. Was the Kremlin
00:42:06.000attacked today by a drone attack by the Ukrainian military, ma'am?
00:42:12.420And that is the problem, Steve, is that it is not clear whether the Kremlin was or was not
00:42:19.900attacked by the drone. But regardless, we are extremely vulnerable right now. We are practically
00:42:29.820sitting on a powder keg right now, the nuclear powder keg. Why? It's because the two countries
00:42:37.360are waging this war. And it's not Russia and Ukraine. It's actually the United States and
00:42:45.360The U.S. is in a proxy war with Russia. As Ben Hanwell just explained, the U.S. establishment, security establishment, is highly incentivized to keep this war going.
00:43:00.200Why is that? It's because we believe that we're eroding Putin's military capability and weakening Russia's economy because we perceive that Russia is a top adversary to the U.S.
00:43:15.340The problem with this approach is that at any time, this war can go nuclear.
00:43:22.220And we wargamed this exact scenario back at the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is the military counterpart to the CIA.
00:43:32.900And every single time, every war game ended up in a nuclear Armageddon.
00:43:39.560I repeat, every single war game, even before going nuclear, there was an escalation period where space warfare and cyber warfare were the primary instrument.
00:46:18.880Rebecca Koffler, when you hear, and even the rumor of this,
00:46:22.680When you hear that there's a drone strike or maybe a potential drone strike, if you're inside the Kremlin, do they believe that's Zelensky and Ukraine doing that?
00:46:30.020Or do they believe that's the United States of America doing that, ma'am?
00:46:33.920They believe that the United States of America enables Ukraine to strike Russia.
00:46:41.400And Zelensky several times stated himself that Ukraine will target Russia proper in this counteroffensive.
00:46:51.660So my preliminary intelligence analysis tells me that there are three possible versions of who has done it.
00:47:00.520No, I do not rule out the possibility that Zelensky indeed authorized a drone strike on the Kremlin's residence of Vladimir Putin.
00:47:14.840But if you look at what's going on, Ukraine is losing this war.
00:47:18.920In fact, Ukraine was never winning this war. There's no military path for victory for Ukraine. And now we are actually learning from leaked documents that that is the case.
00:47:31.720Zelensky is enabling the annihilation of his own people, and he would lose his international hero status if, in fact, U.S. withdrew support for Ukraine. So he needs to do something drastic.0.64
00:47:47.260The second possibility is that the Russians are mounting what they call an active measure campaign or disinformation ahead of the May 9th victory parade to justify an escalation on Ukraine to strike the heart of Kiev and to strike Zelensky's residents and just remove him from power.
00:48:13.080And the third possibility, of course, is that there's a third party that is interested in escalating this conflict.
00:48:21.540And there are plenty. Regardless, the consequences of what's going on could be catastrophic.
00:48:29.200And I am stunned at how lightly the White House is taking this war.
00:48:35.780If you look at every time the White House and the Pentagon, the intelligence community, every time the North Korean rocket man does something, everything gets out of control.0.82
00:48:51.380We fear Iran, we fear North Korea, but in the same breath, we're waging this war with the top nuclear power.0.81
00:49:01.560They have 6,000 nuclear warheads. And in tactical nuclear warheads, they hold a 1 to 10 advantage over us, over the United States. And so this is absolutely irresponsible that Joe Biden has not dragged Zelensky to the negotiating table.0.82
00:49:22.240we're going to drill down more on this as the spring offensive kicks up
00:49:27.280where to get where do people go to get all the information on your books
00:49:30.380and your writings ma'am uh i am on truth on getter and on twitter
00:49:37.320at rebecca zero one three two thank you for having me steve
00:49:43.280rebecca koffer thank you very much very insightful um
00:49:47.820um ben harnwell and this is why by the way go to birchgold.com slash ban and i need everybody to
00:49:55.020get the end of the dollar empire this is all tied up in this um this is all tied up in this war
