this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going with the evil
00:00:10.660
on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people
00:00:17.260
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:21.180
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:24.760
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:32.580
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:40.500
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k van
00:00:47.680
why do you think fox is failing i think the network is falling apart because of a lack of
00:01:00.060
leadership obviously roger was one of a kind i was watching a video earlier today of rush limbaugh
00:01:07.120
when he came up to the hudson valley for roger being named the good scout and he talked about how
00:01:13.160
roger was such a unique man with such a perspective and a love for america who never sacrificed his
00:01:20.480
principles and his values and i think the decline of fox can be told as a story of three or perhaps
00:01:28.040
four t's uh that would be tucker trust talent and of course president trump uh imagine if the network
00:01:38.540
had not fired tucker now we could we could imagine that tucker got the president to participate in a
00:01:47.880
debate or perhaps at least give an interview maybe not at the same time but imagine that how many people
00:01:56.380
would have watched that imagine that roger built the network over 20 years with by earning the audience's
00:02:06.180
trust and trust is something that takes a lot of hard work and he understood that i believe rupert the
00:02:14.600
major murdoch and lachlan the minor murdoch do not understand america the way roger did because they
00:02:21.900
weren't born here they don't have the love of country in my opinion that only comes from being born here
00:02:29.020
and roger used to say something to me really important he'd say the american people are very smart
00:02:36.060
and i heard president trump say that to tucker in the interview that took place at the same time
00:02:43.220
as the debate he said people get it they know what's going on and sadly for america we're in a
00:02:51.380
very dangerous situation and they should have fox news to go to but it is not the brand that it once was
00:02:58.620
fox news and the wall street journal fight me because murdoch is a globalist that's right rupert
00:03:03.840
murdoch is a globalist you don't know that and i am america first it's very simple i put america first
00:03:10.180
it will always be that way so get used to it the sanctimonious by the way is done he was a murdoch pick
00:03:16.640
just like jeb bush was a murdoch pick how did that work out just like hillary clinton murdoch liked
00:03:22.820
hillary clinton crooked hillary and that was another pick of murdoch no uh we are about america first and
00:03:30.220
some people don't like that the wall street journal has totally lost its way they say anything that
00:03:35.760
happens to come to mind they pushed the sanctimonious so hard and now they're looking for somebody else
00:03:41.320
because he's failed he's fallen like a rock he's fallen like a very badly injured bird out of the
00:03:47.020
sky but i just want to thank everybody for the tremendous support you've given me we're leading in
00:03:52.260
the polls by 50 and 60 points and we're beating biden by 5 6 7 11 we have a lot of great polls with
00:03:59.420
biden the guy can't put two sentences together how can he win so thank you all very much
00:04:06.800
thursday 31 august year of our lord 2023 it's president trump he's doing now these kind of mini
00:04:15.700
videos up on true social we're going to try to aggregate as many of these as possible john
00:04:21.260
mclaughlin his pollster with a blockbuster poll is going to join us in the six o'clock hour to go
00:04:27.500
through to have dr seb gorka right here is that is that what this fight is or by the way breaking news
00:04:32.320
from the daily mail today the largest i think or the second largest or the largest super pack
00:04:38.000
financed by one individual for uh governor de santis has shut down operations today and in fact it's
00:04:46.680
announced that the donor himself may actually give money to trump so blockbuster news there the super
00:04:50.880
pack uh rolled up shop and they said because too many rookie mistakes from the team around the
00:04:59.220
the governor de santis and also governor de santis himself dr seb gorka whether it's at the uh the
00:05:06.960
federal level whether you have it in georgia between the grassroots and kemp who's kind of a
00:05:11.480
bush apparatchik or you have uh ken paxton is going to be um going to be tried starting on tuesday down
00:05:19.340
in texas uh where it's the grassroots versus uh the bush junta carl rove down there uh is president
00:05:27.800
trump right is this globalist versus the america first populist nationalist and murdoch is a representative
00:05:33.860
with the wall editorial page of the wall street journal what which i know you know very well
00:05:38.100
really puts forward a globalist take on things and the reason they hate trump so much and hate they do
00:05:44.540
because they're after him every day probably even more than the democrats is because he's an america first
00:05:50.200
nationalist sir counsel i do believe that is a leading question um can we just uh that that story
00:05:58.340
from the uh the mail about the super pack for the satis can we just talk about the buried lead for a
00:06:03.220
second steve now what's the what's the name of the super the name of the super pack is never back
00:06:08.900
down um i guess the never back down super pack is hold it hold it is this is this is is this ron to
00:06:16.280
the rescue or never back down is it never back down i knew it was one of the two no but that shows
00:06:21.040
seb seb one of you let when's the last time you saw a super pack funded by essentially one guy
00:06:28.860
writes a massive check that he's out before we hit we he's out before he hit labor day sir
00:06:35.920
and all this garbage about you know rookie rookie mistakes from the people in the pack and the
00:06:42.620
comps excuse me can we just i used it on my newsbag show this week just that still photograph
00:06:49.460
this guy's a former jag who worked with the seals is a combat veteran and he has to look at the women
00:06:57.220
and you have to look at hayley he has to look at everybody else before he raises his hand i mean
00:07:04.500
that's not a rookie mistake that's a character flaw of epic proportions whether it's the monday after
00:07:10.940
the brag indictment leak saying oh i don't know about hush money for porn stars or whether it's what kind of
00:07:17.000
child like maybe a four-year-old looks around the classroom you know would you like some cake timmy
00:07:24.280
uh uh yeah i'll put my hand up i mean that's not a rookie mistake that's a that's a character defect
00:07:31.600
so god bless you know president trump for not going to a debate hold it go ahead i i want i want to get
00:07:39.340
on hang on i want to get on this you're saying when they ask that and and ramaswamy put his hand up
00:07:45.040
right away and and and de santis had to look left or right and then gave the little uh half push-up
00:07:50.960
your your your point is right there you saw everything you need to know about the man because
00:07:55.400
that's a a manifestation of character look look keep your hand down you know be a a psychotic trump
00:08:04.460
hater like chris christie or put it up like a man i mean i think it was you know one of elon musk's
00:08:11.220
new spacex rockets i think vivek's you know forearm shot up at like you know 10 g's or minus g's the
00:08:18.260
speed with it but but think about you know a have a pair of balls to actually stand by your decision
00:08:24.180
and not copycat others and then b what's the question he's asked let's just stop i mean this
00:08:31.800
this goes to everything you said on that stage on cpaq what was it 2016 this is about the
00:08:39.660
administrative states what was the question steve would you pardon president trump if he is convicted
00:08:46.440
and you become president and ron de santis has to think twice about whether it's okay for fanny willis
00:08:57.760
scion of the black panthers jack smith unanimous smackdown by the supreme court as a political
00:09:04.380
prosecutor whether it's okay for judge chukkan who worked for 12 years for flexner boys the same law
00:09:12.860
company where hunter biden was her colleague and where she actually hired fusion gps ronda santis has
00:09:18.960
to think twice about whether or not political charged prosecutions are a bad thing in america
00:09:27.460
and again on on a deficit he isn't some kind of tech ceo like you know vivek he's not some
00:09:36.840
establishment paul who's been around for decades like pens this is a guy who was a prosecutor
00:09:46.080
this is a man who should know more than anybody else the dangers of using the court system as a
00:09:54.380
political weapon and then he has to look around what a disgrace steve
00:10:00.040
i know as a strategist you and i've talked about in in strategy you have to have the strategic
00:10:08.160
overview and a strategic plan but you also have to execute in the moment is that unforgiving
00:10:14.220
minute that is central to the to the what we call the hinge of history of which way a human agency
00:10:20.760
drives things i want to go back to that stage you and i often talk about in the white house
00:10:25.600
how you have to step in and own a decision you have to walk into the room and own the room because
00:10:31.340
you own the decision you have to have the ability to basically own that moment is that the biggest
00:10:38.260
is that the biggest thing that we took away from uh that debate was ronda santis just does not have
00:10:43.320
the right stuff wow so so let's talk about this for a second let's talk about what it means to act
00:10:50.340
and and uh think strategically my old boss the uh the chair of the uh irregular warfare department
00:10:57.300
who um is such a lunatic he was a cadet at west point and in his summer break instead of going home
00:11:04.900
to sleep for two months he actually went to laos and to vietnam during the war and they actually
00:11:10.820
thought he was a senior officer they didn't realize this guy's just a cadet he's the guy who knows more
00:11:16.220
about irregular warfare than you know maybe anybody outside of van kreffel or lutwack and my old boss
00:11:22.000
tom mark said you know what the art of warfare is whether it's irregular or conventional you got to play
00:11:27.980
for the brakes what does that mean you know you are your chief strategist i was your deputy it doesn't
00:11:34.660
matter how good your plan is whether it's a political one or military one it never survives past first
00:11:39.800
contact with the enemy therefore the real acumen as clausiewicz would put it put it the the acme of
00:11:45.880
the commander is how you react to things that weren't planned because strategy and planning is an
00:11:52.660
exercise you you never get to execute the strategy you want because life isn't a computer game life is
00:11:59.660
life so the question is when the unforeseen occurs when there's a sudden gap in the line of the enemy
00:12:05.560
when something comes out of left field you didn't plan for how do you respond that is the true
00:12:11.000
measure of of of not only a leader but actually of a man and you saw it that that question that i i'm
00:12:17.420
going to measure myself by other people uh you we could talk for hours steve about what it meant
00:12:23.000
to be um somebody working for president trump was that was there ever any doubt in our minds about what
00:12:30.700
he meant ever ever on any issue i mean i i you you remember that moment we've discussed it i think
00:12:37.320
before where it's it's it's it's time to make a decision every six months we have to make a decision
00:12:42.440
on this travesty that is that the obama iran deal the jcpoa iran deal and it was you know that six
00:12:48.520
month uh window was around the corner and he had all the cabinet members in front of him around the
00:12:53.720
resolute desk he had you know hr he had manutia and he had um you know all the key players he had
00:13:00.500
tillerson and then he calls on the phone through the front office get gork get bannon in here and
00:13:06.940
he said you remember how he introduced us as his heavies he said all right heavies tell these guys
00:13:14.660
why why the iran deal is a crock of crap for the american people and why it's dangerous and then we
00:13:21.140
we knew we were just going through the motions because we knew what he decided already but he
00:13:25.800
you know we were the guys to tell you know you know the likes of tillerson yes it's bad the europeans
00:13:31.400
are cocks and this actually makes americans dangerous it threatens us because it nucleifies
00:13:37.460
iran so we gave them the spiel and then what did he do boom kill i mean outside of that moment
00:13:45.000
in the rose garden when he pulled us out of the ttp and he said that he said that i was elected by the
00:13:52.400
citizens of pittsburgh not paris you know and that the paris climate accords were a load of garbage
00:13:58.320
outside of that moment for me the proudest moment in the white house was when we were the front men
00:14:05.640
for a decision he already made that was there ever a doubt in your mind that president trump was going
00:14:12.240
to build the war crush isis uh pull us out of the obama iran deal of course there wasn't because he
00:14:20.440
was an alpha male and this goes to a deeper discussion they hate him why why is why do we
00:14:25.860
have this monction of president trump because they don't have covid to steal the election yeah and they
00:14:31.640
also hate him because he's an alpha male this is personal for them steve hang up we're going to
00:14:37.180
continue this dr seb gorka my deputy in the white house and now a major media star in his own right
00:14:47.020
as central banks and countries like china india australia begin transitioning to a digital currency
00:15:05.940
the federal reserve has been contemplating the same for the united states of america with a digital
00:15:11.400
currency the government could track every single purchase you make officials could even prohibit you
00:15:17.320
from purchasing certain products or even easily freeze or seize part or all of your money these are

00:16:30.840
i want to get back to i'll get back to the alpha male part of it in a second in the mugshot but i want
00:16:37.720
to go back to something because i don't think uh two things um two huge things happen major events
00:16:45.440
uh that had a direct um uh impact immediately on the direction of the country was number one taking
00:16:54.400
down the isis caliphate which president obama rightly at that time said was a generational issue
00:16:59.980
and this was a physical caliphate i'm not talking about someone on cyber i'm talking about physical
00:17:03.660
caliphate at the time that was bigger than iraq or syria as an entity so i'm getting this like the
00:17:09.680
other was the contraction of the balance sheet of the federal reserve president trump because
00:17:14.400
ever since 2008 the whole system to work and for the lease to work is to use the federal reserve and
00:17:20.760
to use the balance sheet of the federal reserve to push in liquidity into the market now we have nine
00:17:26.460
and a half but it's not just a 34 trillion dollars a face amount on the u.s treasury it's also the nine
00:17:31.920
and a half trillion dollars on the fed which is their way to kind of juice the system trump when when
00:17:37.800
we took over from obama i had gone from 880 billion dollars under bush to 3.5 trillion under president
00:17:43.580
obama because obama's told the time you need to do this to keep the system afloat trump took now it's
00:17:50.320
nine and a half trillion trion trump took almost one trillion dollars off the balance sheet of the
00:17:56.760
federal reserve his federal reserve chairman yellen contraction and he still built that economy that
00:18:02.340
economy that had over three percent growth had wages up extraordinary i want to go back to isis
00:18:07.260
because you're very involved in this people forget president obama had told us it was a generational
00:18:11.780
problem the reason he said that that's what the pentagon was telling him and the chairman of the
00:18:16.400
joint chief of staff they had created a physical caliphate larger than iraq or syria right there in
00:18:23.160
the middle they had oil revenues they had tax revenues that everything and president trump said i will
00:18:28.300
commit to the american people that that will be gone and it was gone i think slightly outside of a year
00:18:33.740
year and a half of the administration talk about about his owning decisions as commander-in-chief
00:18:39.760
not like what happened in afghanistan the commander-in-chief to take down the physical
00:18:44.460
caliphate of isis well credit goes to you for focusing on that phrase and getting us to focus on that
00:18:51.120
phrase that you know the physical caliphate of isis must be destroyed and the fact is within five
00:18:57.080
months of getting the lawyers out of the way at dod we unleashed delta we unleashed jsoc and and you
00:19:03.500
know they they crushed it i don't get wonky here but can we just understand what isis was
00:19:08.580
in the history of all insurgencies the history of all insurgencies no insurgency has captured and
00:19:15.700
controlled territory in multiple theaters like isis not only was it the territory of iraq and syria
00:19:21.100
we're talking about the territory of nigeria as well boko haram was an isis affiliate they changed
00:19:26.840
their name to the you know isis affiliate of africa which means what it means that the caliph
00:19:33.360
abu bakar al-bagdadi is the caliph of territory not just in the middle east but in africa never seen
00:19:39.120
before and that's why you know obama who thought terrorism comes from poverty he said this is a
00:19:44.800
generational threat you're just going to have to learn to live with it bullshit kill them kill them you
00:19:49.940
know give them a dirt nap and let you know god judge them and we did and just can we just stop
00:19:55.020
for a second and have a kind of sanity check i mean seriously do you remember isis was a daily news
00:20:01.080
story before we came to the white house a daily freaking news story whether it's daniel pearl
00:20:07.980
literally having his head cut off on camera whether it's our allies and partners like the jordanians
00:20:14.640
having one of their brave fighter pilots burnt alive in a cage and filmed or whether it's you
00:20:22.700
know the yazidi women being sold as sex slaves this was a daily thing who talks about isis now steve
00:20:31.560
when was the last time we talked about isis except you know the guys are being picked up on the terror
00:20:36.500
watch list that my york is being left allowed well that's a key because because the middle east the
00:20:42.640
pivot to asia you can pivot to asia and focus on china as you and i discussed once you've taken care
00:20:48.080
of business the reason obama couldn't do it and remember biden was in charge of that that's what
00:20:52.860
it gets to all these impeachment things about the money coming from cefc not just simply ukraine from
00:20:58.460
the chinese communist party he was in charge you can't pivot to asia until you take care of isis
00:21:03.900
now the middle east you've got to take care of force that's trump my point i want to get to you
00:21:08.080
though on that stage because i didn't watch it and i'm not going to watch it it's a sideshow but on
00:21:12.160
that stage did you see anybody that had the the ability and the moral courage to step into a decision
00:21:19.120
and to own the decision this is what's key when you're commander-in-chief to own the decision to
00:21:24.780
see it through and do it did you see anybody including ron uh descent the the santos who prided himself
00:21:31.480
from being able to do that ron i didn't come up with this but it's a perfect description during
00:21:37.700
that event he became the incredible disappearing man you know he tried to sound good at the beginning
00:21:43.560
and then he became an irrelevance i mean it's like it's like he's the picture faded out and he
00:21:48.640
disappeared there was a vituperation now we we saw vivek slam everybody is bought and sold which
00:21:55.480
is kind of like really vivek okay i mean everybody's bought and sold on that stage i'm not sure that's
00:22:01.680
the the thing you want to say about everybody and then of course you know ambassador uh uh nikki
00:22:07.700
haley zinged him back on his absolute amateurism when it comes to foreign policy and he didn't do his
00:22:13.780
homework you can't say the stuff about you know cutting off aid to israel completely crash and burn on
00:22:19.860
that issue seven days ago and then not have something better to say in front of the former
00:22:26.340
ambassador to the the un who is i'm not a fan of hers but she she was the most you know phelosemitic
00:22:32.160
ambassador we've had at the un in in decades if not ever so there was vituperation there was spice
00:22:38.420
there was you know urine and vinegar but there was nobody who said there's nobody who left you with
00:22:44.240
the feeling that yeah if that guy goes into battle if he if he climbs over the trench uh the trench wall
00:22:51.680
i'm gonna follow him and that's all that matters that nobody remembers debates for policy issues
00:22:57.340
