Summary

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with former Vice President Joe Biden to talk about the current state of the Republican Party and what it means for the future of the country.

00:00:00.000 I mean, are we on a precipice or is this really showing that the underlying fundamentals are still good?
00:00:07.000 Because the world is, I mean, I've seen, you know, Jamie Dimon and others say they've never seen things more concerning.
00:00:15.000 There's the geopolitical, the economic backdrop. It's really frightening, even more so than normal.
00:00:22.000 I think he's right. I think there's a lot of things that are frightening.
00:00:25.000 The thing that frightens me the most right now, I have to say from a market perspective, is bond yields and the fact that without, in the absence of quantitative easing, in the absence of Fed buying treasuries, treasury yields are going to move higher.
00:00:40.000 And that's because our spending is out of control. We're running a budget deficit that's five and a half percent of GDP at full employment.
00:00:47.000 We've looked over the past 70 years. We've never run a budget deficit of five percent of GDP when the unemployment rate wasn't above seven.
00:00:56.000 And I always tell people, if you want to see what Donald Trump's going to do if he gets reelected, don't think about him lining up people against the walls and having them shot.
00:01:05.000 Let's see what Orban has done in Hungary. Yeah. Where he's bragged about having a liberal democracy and he's wiped out the judiciary.
00:01:14.000 He's wiped out the free press. And then I suppose that's probably what Donald Trump will look for as a blueprint if he gets elected again.
00:01:23.000 Well, one thing we know he'll do and there are there are plans floating around that indicate that he'll try to certainly he will try to eliminate the civil service in the United States, public administration.
00:01:35.000 And while civil service can always be reformed and we can have legitimate arguments about it, the idea that he could fire everybody and replace them with loyalists, in other words, with just people who are loyal to him and who aren't necessarily qualified in any other way.
00:01:49.000 That is exactly what Netanyahu did. That's exactly what he's being accused of right now.
00:01:54.000 That is exactly what law and justice did. You know, they brought in people who weren't competent, but instead were, you know, somebody's cousin or somebody's wife or somebody's, you know, some party member to run, you know, to run the state.
00:02:07.000 And that is incredibly dangerous. You know, you just don't know what what you're opening yourselves up to.
00:02:14.000 And in the case of Netanyahu, I mean, at the very least, we know for a fact that the aftermath of the Hamas raids, in other words, cleaning up those towns and villages that were attacked.
00:02:24.000 All of that has been done by volunteers, including some of the volunteers who were organizing demonstrations because the government is now pretty incompetent and they were not able to come in and help in the aftermath.
00:02:36.000 You know, and that's the kind of tragic disaster that we that we could also face decided declined not to rally votes to try to convict him in impeachment, which would have prevented Trump from running again.
00:02:47.000 So where does Romney see this going in the next couple of years?
00:02:50.000 You know, when he entered the Senate in 2019, he had this sort of quaint idea in retrospect that he could steer the party back toward its sensible recent past.
00:03:02.840 Right. He believed that all the Republican caucus in the Senate really needed was a voice of sanity and that that there were still a lot of good people in the party who were just scared to speak up over the next several years.
00:03:16.960 And I was talking to him through a lot of this. He became more and more aware that that that wasn't going to happen.
00:03:23.960 He told me at one point that, you know, I thought that there were more of us and just a few of them speaking of kind of the pro Trump MAGA wing of the party.
00:03:33.960 And over time, I realized, oh, there's way more of them and only a few of us left.
00:03:37.960 And so I think he is worried about the future of the party to the point where I'm not sure, you know, how much he'll even continue to identify as a Republican.
00:03:46.960 Look, I think what you're seeing right now and among the Republicans in the House is a direct result of the decisions that Kevin McCarthy made to embrace Donald Trump,
00:03:57.040 to embrace the most radical and extreme members of our party, to elevate them.
00:04:01.200 So it's not a surprise that we are where we are. But but it's a disgrace and it's an embarrassment.
00:04:06.200 And there certainly are serious people among the Republicans.
00:04:10.200 I hope that that one of them, particularly, I think it's important to me not be an election denier.
00:04:15.200 And I also think everybody should be asked tomorrow night at the candidate forum about this issue of Ukraine assistance.
00:04:20.200 And they should be asked from the perspective of we face a global challenge and existential threat.
00:04:25.200 And how in the world could anybody defend at this moment surrendering to one of our adversaries?
00:04:30.200 But if it came down to it, even though you disagree with Joe Biden on almost every issue under the sun, other than maybe Ukraine and Israel, would you vote for him over Donald Trump?
00:04:41.200 We're going to see what what happens. We're going to see how things unfold.
00:04:45.200 I think Donald Trump is the single most dangerous threat we face.
00:04:48.200 I would imagine that there will be a number of other candidates in the race.
00:04:52.200 Would you be one of them?
00:04:54.200 I think I'll tell you what I'm what I am definitely going to do.
00:04:57.200 I'm going to spend the next year between now and the election, certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people.
00:05:07.200 Of both parties?
00:05:09.200 Yes, because I think that that we could well find ourselves in a situation,
00:05:13.200 given what we know the Trump folks are doing in terms of attempting to question the results of the election.
00:05:20.200 We don't want a situation where the election is thrown into the House of Representatives.
00:05:23.200 And Donald Trump has any possibility at all of prevailing under those circumstances.
00:05:28.200 So we've got to elect people who believe in the Constitution and who take their responsibilities seriously to Congress.
00:05:33.200 So I'm going to be spending a lot of time doing that in addition to other things.
00:05:37.200 But you're not ruling out a presidential run?
00:05:38.200 No, I'm not.
00:05:39.200 OK, and we'll see you when your book comes out.
00:05:41.200 Thank you. I look forward to it.
00:05:43.200 What we've done in our politics is create a situation where we're electing idiots.
00:05:48.200 And so I don't look at it through the lens of like, you know, is this what I should do or what I shouldn't do?
00:06:03.200 I look at it through the lens of how do we elect serious people?
00:06:06.200 And I think electing serious people can't be partisan.
00:06:10.200 People have pointed to a lot of these concerns for quite a while.
00:06:13.200 And then the government steps in and does something to change it.
00:06:16.200 That's right.
00:06:17.200 What would stop the Fed if things get really out of control from bringing back QE?
00:06:21.200 No, and listen, we brought back QE for a short period of time after Silicon Valley Bank failed.
00:06:28.200 We switched course this year.
00:06:29.200 But when I say this, people are like, oh, that's not going to happen for a very long time.
00:06:32.200 We switched course this year.
00:06:33.200 No, and it's debatable whether I personally think it's a decent bar bet.
00:06:39.200 No one would ever know.
00:06:40.200 But if we let Silicon Valley Bank fail, I'm convinced we would be in recession already.
00:06:45.200 But we didn't.
00:06:46.200 The Fed flooded the system with $400 billion of assets.
00:06:51.200 We essentially backed every deposit.
00:06:56.200 Forever.
00:06:57.200 How do you ever convince people there's not one?
00:07:00.200 I think the only difference now is that two things that are different.
00:07:03.200 One is that inflation is a binding constraint.
00:07:06.200 In many ways, as I've said before here, the Fed is fighting the federal government to bring inflation down.
00:07:12.200 So if you're serious about bringing inflation down, it's hard to do it if you're running massive budget deficits.
00:07:18.200 That's the first thing I would say.
00:07:19.200 The second thing I would say is that interest expense on the debt is now spiraling out of control.
00:07:25.200 So, again, the Fed could step in and buy treasuries, as they've done before.
00:07:30.200 But something else will pop out someplace else, and that'll be inflation.
00:07:35.200 So there's nothing stopping the Fed from doing that, or the Fed put.
00:07:39.200 The pressure would be huge.
00:07:40.200 It's very hard to get it all set so that you have high growth and low inflation.
00:07:46.200 Well, at least we have our political act together.
00:07:48.200 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:07:54.200 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:07:59.200 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:08:04.200 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:08:06.200 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:08:08.200 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:08:11.200 It's going to happen.
00:08:12.200 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:08:15.200 Mega Media.
00:08:17.200 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:08:22.200 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:08:26.200 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:08:33.200 Welcome to the War Room.
00:08:34.200 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:08:36.200 Vance.
00:08:38.200 It is Monday, 23 October in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:08:44.200 Welcome to the War Room.
00:08:45.200 I want to go back to make sure that you fully understand how we try to keep you months and
00:08:53.200 months and months ahead of where the apparatus finally talks about the entire cold open are
00:08:59.200 topics that you, this audience, have been on top of now for months and months and months
00:09:04.200 and months and months.
00:09:05.200 I want to go to the economic part first, which frames everything.
00:09:09.200 Uh, this is the, this is Murdoch's Wall Street Journal.
00:09:14.200 And normally I'm on the editorial page because it's the Karl Rove, Paul Gigio.
00:09:18.200 They're always wrong.
00:09:19.200 They hate MAGA.
00:09:20.200 They hate Trump.
00:09:21.200 By the way, there's an article out, one of the engineering folks sent me an article that
00:09:25.200 Fox doesn't do live interviews with Donald Trump anymore.
00:09:28.200 The only candidate out there, of course, he's, he's crushing the Keebler L's, but they
00:09:32.200 don't do, they don't do any live interviews with the leading president.
00:09:35.200 Going to have be very tough Murdoch news.
00:09:39.200 Uh, when, uh, when Trump's back in the white house, anyway, on Saturday's paper, we didn't
00:09:43.200 get a chance to do this from CPAC and, and, uh, Vegas, uh, your, your, your investment
00:09:49.200 strategy is broken.
00:09:50.200 Your investment strategy is broken.
00:09:52.200 And that's what Jason Tennant was trying to was talking about.
00:09:55.200 Who's a friend of the show and on here a lot.
00:09:57.200 He's got a big analysis about where we are, but, but they say right here, prices of stocks
00:10:01.200 and bonds tend to move in opposite directions.
00:10:03.200 Investors who rely on a mix of both to make money in good and bad economic conditions may
00:10:09.200 tend to rethink their portfolios.
00:10:11.200 When assets move in tandem, this is Bidenomics right here.
00:10:14.200 You've got the S and P and for the people on radio or in podcasts, you've got to go to
00:10:20.200 the war room site, sign up for the newsletter.
00:10:22.200 You get all the, you get all the, uh, graphics, you get everything we put up.
00:10:26.200 It goes with the show.
00:10:27.200 If you want the deep immersive experience right there, you see the combination of stocks,
00:10:31.200 bonds, everything getting crushed, the bonds losing 50%.
00:10:35.200 And they've got this subtitle.
00:10:37.200 I got to read this cause you'll love this.
00:10:39.200 Wall Street's boilerplate mix of stocks and bonds, the venerable 60, 40 formula.
00:10:44.200 That's 60% stocks, 40% bonds isn't cutting it anymore.
00:10:48.200 That's up ending retirement planning for millions of Americans.
00:10:52.200 This is why we need everybody out there, uh, to be checking your portfolio.
00:10:56.200 We don't give personal financial advice here.
00:10:58.200 We do a lot of macro, but we don't talk about your personal finances.
00:11:01.200 That's for you to decide.
00:11:02.200 We try to lay out what the reality is, um, in, in, uh, in capital markets and economics.
00:11:09.200 This is all being driven.
00:11:10.200 You're being crushed.
00:11:11.200 The bond, your bond portfolio has probably lost 50.
00:11:14.200 You said, these are, this is not junk bonds and you're not even buying corporate securities
00:11:18.200 if you've been, which got crushed anyway.
00:11:20.200 But if you were buying government bonds where your broker told you, oh yeah, it's money.
00:11:24.200 Good.
00:11:25.200 You've lost 50% of the value of your portfolio.
00:11:27.200 You think that might upend a, uh, might upend a, uh, a retirement plan or two.
00:11:32.200 Here's the reason.
00:11:33.200 And this is the reason for this fight to the house today where they're going to go through
00:11:38.200 a process.
00:11:39.200 I think they've got nine folks, including Tom Emmer.
00:11:41.200 Remember Tom Emmer's the biggest of all the never Trump, uh, congressmen out there.
00:11:46.200 He's a guy that hates Trump, bad mouths him all the time.
00:11:50.200 He went out of his way to make sure when he ran NRCC to make sure he killed the Joe
00:11:55.600 Kent's of the world and all the, uh, all the pro MAGA anti establishment candidates.
00:12:01.600 It was Emmer was the guy that took him out.
00:12:03.600 Uh, a super bad guy and he's running today.
00:12:06.200 So, and I want to put it in perspective.
00:12:08.200 Once we take Emmer out, this is what you've accomplished.
00:12:11.200 This has never been done before in American history.
00:12:13.200 You've taken out the speaker of the house.
00:12:16.200 You've taken out the majority leader to be speaker.
00:12:19.200 You've taken out Jim Jordan and Jim Jordan 2.0 was part of leadership.
00:12:23.200 And as you know, the reason I believe he did not get across, it was not a, it was more
00:12:28.200 of a Fox thing than a MAGA thing.
00:12:30.200 Jim Jordan was more of a conservative than a populist nationalist.
00:12:33.200 He had lost his fire.
00:12:34.200 He had lost ever since you joined McCarthy's leadership team over the last couple of years
00:12:38.200 had been weak.
00:12:39.200 And, uh, and of course in the last year, people have been underwhelming.
00:12:42.200 Jim Jordan's a good man.
00:12:43.200 He's a solid man, but you can tell it's just not the fire there.
00:12:46.200 Then if you take at Emmer's who's the whip in less than three weeks, the, the people,
00:12:52.200 the populist, the MAGA, the deplorables, you have taken out basically 12 years of leadership.
00:12:58.200 What they've worked on for 12 years as the cartels leadership apparatus, it's whip operation,
00:13:04.200 the McCarthy staff, the Scalise staff, you with your phone calls and your muscles.
00:13:10.200 And oftentimes with your congressman, not even working with you, you have destroyed the
00:13:15.200 cartels control of the Republican side of Capitol Hill.
00:13:19.200 If you take out Emmer, you look at the other eight.
00:13:22.200 Hey, there's some good people there.
00:13:23.200 And there's some, we've put up a chart to make sure that you see where they voted on
00:13:27.200 the debt ceiling and others.
00:13:28.200 It seems to me, if you voted for McCarthy's debt ceiling deal, the worst in history, you
00:13:32.200 can't possibly be considered a serious candidate, but we'll leave that forever.
00:13:36.200 The first thing to do is to stop Emmer today.
00:13:38.200 Once Emmer stopped, just to repeat this, you have decapitated the, what they've invested
00:13:45.200 with the cartel, the lobbyists, the corporatists, Wall Street, they've invested over 12 years.
00:13:50.200 This is their team.
00:13:51.200 And remember, it's all those staffs.
00:13:52.200 It's all those political operatives.
00:13:54.200 It's all the Jeff Millers of the world with, with McCarthy decapitated.
00:13:59.200 You, this audience did that.
00:14:01.200 Nobody else did that.
00:14:02.200 You did this.
00:14:03.200 You did this by, by the pressure campaign.
00:14:05.200 This is why they were crying.
00:14:06.200 The pressure campaign doesn't work.
00:14:08.200 The pressure campaign doesn't work.
00:14:09.200 2 0 2 2 2 5 3 1 2 1.
00:14:12.200 We still have a lot of work to do this week.
00:14:14.200 And remember the, this is how desperate is McCarthy.
00:14:17.200 Believe me, thinks he's coming back.
00:14:19.200 Why do I say that?
00:14:21.200 Look at the hill.
00:14:22.200 The lead story in the hill is that McCarthy's needed.
00:14:25.200 If, if the house was to get control of the spending, I'm not making this up.
00:14:29.200 He basically says he's the only one that can deal with the CR and to make sure it's not omnibus.
00:14:33.200 He's pitching you hard, ladies and gentlemen, this audience to let him back in.
00:14:39.200 I think we got the answer.
00:14:41.200 Wait for it.
00:14:42.200 Wait for it.
00:14:43.200 Wait for it.
00:14:44.200 Yep.
00:14:45.200 That's it.
00:14:46.200 Not going to happen.
00:14:47.200 Okay.
00:14:48.200 We got a lot of work to do.
00:14:49.200 2 0 2 2 2 2 5 3 1 2 1.
00:14:50.200 Let them hear from you up on Capitol Hill.
00:14:52.200 We're going to go to Midtown Manhattan next and see the collapse of the United States of
00:14:56.200 America in living color.
00:14:57.200 Last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital IDs on their
00:15:07.200 respective populations.
00:15:08.200 No, I'm not making that up.
00:15:10.200 That is a fact.
00:15:11.200 Central bank digital currencies essentially allow the government to track every purchase
00:15:16.200 you make.
00:15:17.200 They could even allow officials to prohibit you from purchasing certain products or easily
00:15:22.200 freeze or seize part or all of your money.
00:15:27.200 Let that sink in for a second.
00:15:30.200 In essence, they enable the government to take more control over your personal finances.
00:15:36.200 Concerned Americans are diversifying their assets into physical gold with the help of
00:15:41.200 Birch Gold Group.
00:15:42.200 If you want a physical asset held in a tax-sheltered retirement account, you should call Birch Gold
00:15:49.200 2.
00:15:50.200 But learn for yourself.
00:15:51.200 Text Bannon to 989898 and they'll send you a free info kit on gold.
00:15:57.200 The easiest way to become a Birch Gold customer, if you have an IRA or 401k from a previous
00:16:04.200 employer just gathering dust, Birch Gold can help you convert it into IRA into gold.
00:16:10.200 And you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:16:13.200 Let me repeat that.
00:16:14.200 You don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:16:16.200 Text Bannon to 989898.
00:16:18.200 Claim your free info kit on gold.
00:16:20.200 Then call Birch.
00:16:21.200 Because if digital currency becomes a reality, and trust me, they're on the path to make it
00:16:27.200 so, it'll be nice to have some gold to fall back on.
00:16:32.200 It's only worked for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
00:16:36.200 Let Birch Gold work for you.
00:16:39.200 Bannon, 989898.
00:16:41.200 Text it right now.
00:16:43.200 So these are all the scooters with no license plates.
00:16:46.200 It's like they got a new intake.
00:16:49.200 Can you move with that camera please?
00:16:51.200 No, it's public.
00:16:52.200 It's public?
00:16:53.200 Yeah.
00:16:54.200 I'm with media.
00:16:55.200 Media?
00:16:56.200 Real America's Voice.
00:16:57.200 Are you?
00:16:58.200 No.
00:16:59.200 No.
00:17:00.200 Then go inside.
00:17:02.200 No.
00:17:03.200 Then you gotta go inside man.
00:17:04.200 Outside I can film.
00:17:05.200 No you can.
00:17:06.200 Yes I can man.
00:17:07.200 No you can.
00:17:08.200 It's public.
00:17:09.200 Where are you from?
00:17:10.200 I work here.
00:17:11.200 Okay.
00:17:12.200 You don't have to.
00:17:15.200 But when you're outside in public.
00:17:17.200 What's that?
00:17:18.200 I'm covering what's happening here at the hotel.
00:17:22.200 So I'm just filming it for the news I work for.
00:17:24.200 Are you guys, do you guys work for an organization?
00:17:27.200 No English, no English.
00:17:31.200 Okay, no English.
00:17:33.200 Thanks man.
00:17:34.200 Alright sir.
00:17:35.200 We're bringing more in.
00:17:36.200 We're at the Roosevelt Hotel.
00:17:38.200 We've got all these scooters.
00:17:40.200 Some stolen.
00:17:41.200 No license plate.
00:17:42.200 All parked illegally.
00:17:43.200 On the street.
00:17:44.200 This whole hotel.
00:17:45.200 400 plus rooms.
00:17:46.200 Just coming down to show you the impact of what Biden's doing on our southern border.
00:17:51.200 How you doing man?
00:17:52.200 Did you work here?
00:17:53.200 No.
00:17:59.200 Almost all fighting age men.
00:18:02.200 Senegal?
00:18:03.200 Yeah.
00:18:04.200 Mauritania?
00:18:05.200 No camera?
00:18:06.200 Okay.
00:18:07.200 Senegal?
00:18:08.200 Mauritania?
00:18:09.200 Senegal?
00:18:10.200 Okay.
00:18:11.200 Bring it in.
00:18:12.200 We've got Ben Berkwam.
00:18:13.200 Ben Berkwam's normally in the Darien Gapper on the southern border.
00:18:18.200 He's in midtown Manhattan.
00:18:19.200 I just want to make sure.
00:18:20.200 I just talked about the Wall Street Journal's, you've got to read this, where your investment
00:18:25.200 strategy that your broker's been telling you, had you in for the last 20 years of your
00:18:30.200 life, you're wrong.
00:18:32.200 Not they're wrong.
00:18:33.200 You're wrong.
00:18:34.200 Did that lessen any of their commissions?
00:18:36.200 Just ask that.
00:18:37.200 When you check the bond portfolio today and they tell you your government securities are
00:18:41.200 at 50 cents on the dollar.
00:18:43.200 Can you ask them, hey, did that cut your fees at all when you bought these things for
00:18:47.200 me?
00:18:48.200 Also, an incredible article.
00:18:50.200 I only can mention it on Saturday.
00:18:53.200 Matt Gaetz by the great Molly Ball, the Wall Street Journal.
00:18:56.200 This is like, I don't know, a 5,000 page article with an amazing picture of Gaetz.
00:19:01.200 All the work Gaetz has been doing.
00:19:03.200 Has no regrets.
00:19:04.200 It's not chaos.
00:19:05.200 Remember, it's decapitating the entire leadership.
00:19:08.200 The entire leadership.
00:19:09.200 12 years of the cartel.
00:19:10.200 Okay.
00:19:11.200 And what they've brought us, remember, will they give you all the lip service?
00:19:14.200 Oh, and I don't want to hear any more Republicans say I want to secure the southern border.
00:19:17.200 I want limited government to secure the southern border and fiscal responsibility.
00:19:24.200 Because you don't believe in limited government because you continue to fund the administrative
00:19:30.200 and deep state.
00:19:31.200 You don't care about securing the southern border because you haven't done anything about
00:19:35.200 it.
00:19:36.200 No, passing a messaging bill, HR2, is not it.
00:19:38.200 You should be down the southern border laying your body across there so they can't come across.
00:19:42.200 That's the action we want to see.
00:19:44.200 And you're fiscally irresponsible.
00:19:47.200 Bregman, this Marine Corps general, one of the guys running, he voted for the debt ceiling
00:19:52.200 and his pitch was it was the biggest, had more conservative wins on cutting budget than ever.
00:19:57.200 He still doesn't get the joke about the $2 trillion deficit we just had, about all the lies
00:20:03.200 and all the cuts are in the out years.
00:20:04.200 They're all meaningless.
00:20:05.200 They still believe this stuff.
00:20:07.200 They still believe this madness.
00:20:09.200 Ben Berquam, they're trying to pass the supplemental.
00:20:14.200 We haven't even, the ink is not even, they haven't signed the $7 trillion spending bill.
00:20:18.200 Right?
00:20:19.200 They haven't signed that yet.
00:20:21.200 But they've got $100 billion supplemental in the, in the, in the, in the cheese for the, for the Republicans.
00:20:28.200 We're supposed to be all over it because there's $14 billion in border security.
00:20:33.200 That turns out is a lie, sir, because as you break it down in Neil Monroe over Breitbart did a magnificent job of doing this.
00:20:40.200 I think it's up this morning on their site, Neil Monroe's story.
00:20:45.200 Almost all of the $14 billion is just to move them and process them as quickly as possible to the Roosevelt Hotel, sir.
00:20:52.200 Tell me what you see there.
00:20:54.200 Yeah, Steve, no, it's all BS.
00:20:57.200 That's the nicest way I can say it.
00:20:58.200 Total BS.
00:20:59.200 We're out in front of the Roosevelt Hotel.
00:21:01.200 It's all about transporting the people from the border.
00:21:04.200 You may ask, well, why are you not on the border?
00:21:06.200 Because it doesn't stay on the border.
00:21:08.200 All of this.
00:21:09.200 This is one of 20 hotels in New York that's being used to house illegals.
00:21:12.200 You can see all these illegal scooters over here on the sidewalk.
00:21:15.200 I want to walk you over here.
00:21:16.200 This is where, if you pass this, if Republicans, if you sign on to this, this is what you're going to be signing on to.
00:21:21.200 You're going to be signing on to millions of dollars.
00:21:24.200 We're going to head down right after this to the Rowe Hotel.
00:21:27.200 They're paying $60 million, but I want you to look inside this room.
00:21:30.200 All fighting age men, this is coming through every single day into America.
00:21:36.200 This is the Roosevelt Hotel, but there are 20 other hotels just like this, guys.
00:21:42.200 This is what your tax dollars are going to in America right now.
00:21:47.200 Every day, every day, every day.
00:21:50.200 That's what they're doing.
00:21:51.200 And they're going to have $14 billion more to transport to bring more people in.
00:21:56.200 The Roosevelt Hotel is not somewhere over in Queens or over by JFK Airport.
00:22:01.200 The Roosevelt Hotel is in Midtown Manhattan.
00:22:03.200 I think on Madison Avenue, Paul Stewart.
00:22:06.200 We're a block off of Fifth Avenue.
00:22:08.200 All the big stores.
00:22:09.200 Yeah, we're a block off of Fifth Avenue.
00:22:11.200 Yes.
00:22:12.200 Right there in the heart of it.
00:22:13.200 We're a block off of Fifth Avenue.
00:22:14.200 By the way, Steve, this is owned by, as irony, this is owned by Pakistani airlines just to put a little salt in the wound.
00:22:22.200 Yeah, put salt in the wound.
00:22:23.200 We sold it to them, and now they're making more money than ever.
00:22:25.200 Because, look, Eric Adams also, it's a sanctuary city.
00:22:29.200 He won't back off that.
00:22:30.200 He goes down and mumbles some stuff down in Mexico.
00:22:34.200 He says, oh, please don't come.
00:22:35.200 He hasn't backed off them being a sanctuary city because the left has a bayonet to his back.
00:22:41.200 He's going to be looking for, in fact, part of this $14 billion is a bailout of these Democratic cities.
00:22:46.200 Buried in there is a bailout of Chicago.
00:22:49.200 Yeah, absolutely.
00:22:50.200 It's a bailout of the sanctuary cities.
00:22:51.200 That's exactly what this is.
00:22:52.200 It's exactly what this is.
00:22:53.200 We don't need one more penny.
00:22:54.200 We don't need one more penny of any of this nonsense.
00:22:57.200 We need to start mass deportations.
00:22:59.200 Mass deportations.
00:23:00.200 And it's worse, Steve.
00:23:01.200 We don't need another penny on this.
00:23:02.200 It's worse than that.
00:23:03.200 It's worse than that.
00:23:04.200 It's paying off the organizations, the United Nations, and all of these NGOs that are profiting off this.
00:23:10.200 That's what we're paying them to invade our country.
00:23:13.200 That's $14 billion more to pay for the invasion of America.
00:23:17.200 Not to stop it.
00:23:18.200 Not one dime of that's going to go to actually stopping it.
00:23:20.200 They're just going to invite more in.
00:23:24.200 Ben, how bad is this going to get in New York City?
00:23:28.200 I hear there are $4,000 a week, $4,000 or $5,000 a week still showing up.
00:23:32.200 And Eric Adams is looking for more money to pay for it.
00:23:34.200 That's what's in this budget.
00:23:35.200 By the way, remember, when you talk to your congressman, not one penny for, quote unquote, border security.
00:23:40.200 It's not for border security.
00:23:41.200 It's for processing the invaders deeper into the United States.
00:23:45.200 What is your sense in New York City of what's going to happen?
00:23:49.200 It's terrible.
00:23:50.200 I've been talking to shop owners.
00:23:52.200 Very few are willing to go on the record because they're afraid of getting attacked.
00:23:55.200 But the crime that's coming with this, all of these scooters illegal.
00:23:58.200 I guess the police have come through.
00:24:00.200 They come through about once a month to pick them up.
00:24:02.200 Drug dealing, if you would have finished that video, you can watch the rest of it.
00:24:05.200 I'm actually witnessing drug dealing out on the streets.
00:24:08.200 We're inviting in criminal elements, Tren de Agua out of Venezuela.
00:24:11.200 We're inviting in cartel members from all of these countries.
00:24:14.200 You're talking about exacerbating the R rate.
00:24:16.200 And ironically, one of the guys was actually wearing a BLM Minneapolis shirt.
00:24:20.200 So you take all the bad things that are going on in America, and then you bring in people from third world countries that have no love for our country.
00:24:27.200 And you just say, here you go.
00:24:29.200 Now, throw them into the cartels.
00:24:31.200 That, you just, you exacerbate the problems in America.
00:24:34.200 It's going to get really, really, really bad.
00:24:37.200 Ben, if we let you go, maybe you could go set up.
00:24:41.200 I want to show people this is just not the Roseville Hotel.
00:24:43.200 I think you said there's 12 or 15 hotels like this.
00:24:46.200 Maybe you can go over and set up at the...
00:24:48.200 Yep.
00:24:49.200 Go to the row, and we'll get you back on as soon as you're there.
00:24:52.200 Ben Berquam is on the loose in downtown Manhattan.
00:24:54.200 And to give you an idea, just to give you an idea, this is a 1,000-room hotel.
00:24:58.200 I said 400 in the video.
00:25:00.200 I underestimated.
00:25:01.200 It's actually over 1,000 rooms.
00:25:02.200 The row is almost 1,400 rooms.
00:25:05.200 We're going to head down there now.
00:25:07.200 Okay, brother.
00:25:09.200 Ben Berquam, live in Midtown Manhattan.
00:25:11.200 He's going to go to the row.
00:25:12.200 Another one.
00:25:13.200 I think the row hotel is over by Times Square.
00:25:15.200 This invasion, you're paying for it.
00:25:18.200 There's, I think, they admitted 5.7 million of the invaders are being fully underwritten.
00:25:23.200 Health care, food, lodging.
00:25:26.200 And they've got them set up in nice hotels in New York.
00:25:28.200 Like I said, the Roosevelt's not a top-quality hotel.
00:25:31.200 Not premier quality.
00:25:33.200 But it ain't too shabby.
00:25:35.200 It ain't too shabby.
00:25:36.200 And it's in Midtown Manhattan, right there past Grand Central, right next to Madison Avenue.
00:25:42.200 Really, it's that part of Madison Avenue where the boutiques kind of start.
00:25:47.200 So this is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
00:25:49.200 And look, it's all fighting-age men.
00:25:51.200 It's all fighting-age men.
00:25:53.200 We're going to get to that.
00:25:54.200 The Chinese Communist Party has sent a flotilla, a squadron of ships to the Persian Gulf.
00:25:59.200 We're going to get to that with Derek Harvey.
00:26:00.200 I just want to go back because we have a lot of work for us to do today.
00:26:05.200 2-0-2-2-2-5-3-1-2-1.
00:26:07.200 2-0-2-2-2-5-3-1-2-1.
00:26:11.200 McCarthy's up.
00:26:12.200 That's the lead story in The Hill.
00:26:13.200 McCarthy, I'm not making this up.
00:26:15.200 You've got to go to my Getter account if we can put this up.
00:26:17.200 If Grace and Moe can put this up so all the live chat can see it.
00:26:20.200 The Hill newspaper, his team is actually arguing we have to bring McCarthy back
00:26:25.200 because he's the only one that can save us on the spending on the CRs and the Omnibus.
00:26:29.200 McCarthy's hands in the back of all this.
00:26:31.200 This whole play from the beginning is a restoration project.
00:26:34.200 First Scalise, then Jordan, and now Emmer.
00:26:37.200 And by the way, Emmer's the never-Trumper, so Emmer's got to go.
00:26:40.200 But in this, just don't think you've got the other eight to go.
00:26:45.200 The specter of McCarthy and what McCarthy represents is the 10- or 12-year,
00:26:51.200 15-year investment by the cartel and how the system runs.
00:26:55.200 And how does the system run?
00:26:57.200 You get bills like this that come up that they say it's border security.
00:27:01.200 It's $14 billion and everybody's getting paid off.
00:27:04.200 You get the Ukraine situation, right?
00:27:06.200 Already spent $112 billion, $113 billion, $120 billion.
00:27:10.200 They want another 60 to 80.
00:27:13.200 Even in the situation in Israel, which you've got to go through what they're requesting, right?
00:27:17.200 You've got to go through all of this.
00:27:18.200 Even in the Taiwan situation, you've got to go through that.
00:27:21.200 We're big supporters.
00:27:22.200 You've got to get cash.
00:27:23.200 You've got to get money in arms to Taiwan ASAP.
00:27:26.200 This fight is the first time, and that's what the Magnificent Six gave us in January,
00:27:32.200 and then the hard eight gave us when Matt Gaetz so heroically went to the House floor,
00:27:37.200 is for your voice, the first time in history, your voice,
00:27:40.200 you have taken down the leadership part of the apparatus.
00:27:44.200 But the specter of McCarthy is still overshadowing.
00:27:47.200 Don't think that they haven't gone away.
00:27:49.200 Read the Hill article.
00:27:50.200 You'll have a belly laugh out of that, where he's the only one that can really save us from ourselves.
00:27:55.200 He's the only one that can really bring in, you know, everything's chaotic.
00:27:58.200 He's the agent of chaos.
00:28:00.200 The cartel is not, I told you, they're not going to pat you on the head and say,
00:28:05.200 what a lovely idea, we're going to toss you the keys, MAGA.
00:28:07.200 That's not going to happen.
00:28:08.200 You're going to have to fight for this.
00:28:09.200 We've got a lot of fight this week.
00:28:11.200 We're going to start today as they have their presentations, I think it's 6 or 6.30,
00:28:16.200 and start their own internal votes before we go to the House floor.
00:28:21.200 Okay, we've got a lot to get to today in the war room.
00:28:24.200 Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:28:27.200 You'll start to understand what Jason Trennett's talking about.
00:28:30.200 Go there and read that, then call your broker.
00:28:33.200 Say, tell me about my government bonds.
00:28:34.200 Tell me about my safe bonds.
00:28:36.200 Tell me about your fees and buying those safe bonds for me.

00:29:58.200 Well, speaking of the burden you were talking about, Joe,
00:30:01.200 the U.S. is increasing its military presence in the Middle East
00:30:05.200 after a series of suspected Iranian proxy attacks.
00:30:09.200 Joining us now, NBC News national security and military correspondent Courtney Kuby.
00:30:14.200 Courtney, what are these new moves?
00:30:17.200 Yeah, that's right.
00:30:18.200 So one of them involves an aircraft carrier strike group, the USS Eisenhower,
00:30:22.200 that was already planning to head to the Mediterranean.
00:30:25.200 We heard that announcement just several days ago.
00:30:28.200 Well, now, over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has decided instead
00:30:32.200 to move it more towards the Middle East, what we think of as the Fifth Fleet area, the CENTCOM area.
00:30:38.200 So think of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman.
00:30:41.200 I spoke with a number of officials over the weekend.
00:30:43.200 We don't know exactly where it's going to go, but it will be closer towards the Iraq side of Fifth Fleet
00:30:50.200 as opposed to the further west side where it would be potentially supporting Israel.
00:30:54.200 That's one thing.
00:30:56.200 In addition to that, Secretary Austin has now authorized a number of additional air defense systems
00:31:01.200 and capabilities moving into the region.
00:31:03.200 So that includes the THAAD.
00:31:05.200 That's a ballistic missile defense system that's also going somewhere in CENTCOM.
00:31:10.200 I will say the Pentagon's being pretty vague about where these systems and these individuals are going to go.
00:31:15.200 There's also going to be additional Patriot battalions going in.
00:31:18.200 Now, there's already Patriot systems in the region.
00:31:20.200 Those are also air defense systems.
00:31:22.200 But they're going to send additional systems.
00:31:25.200 We don't know exactly the specifics of it and some of the personnel to operate those systems.
00:31:31.200 Now, in addition to that, we learned a week or two ago that...
00:31:35.200 Denver, I want to hang on to that.
00:31:37.200 I'm going to come right back to that clip.
00:31:38.200 I've got to bring in Harvey.
00:31:41.200 You've got to help me out here, brother.
00:31:43.200 In fact, I may have to get my brother on the show.
00:31:46.200 Chris was in the Pacific fleet as I was.
00:31:50.200 This is...
00:31:51.200 He came from the Pacific fleet through the Suez Canal and was part of the raid on Libya, I think, in 83.
00:31:58.200 I had been there in 79 in the Gulf with the first Persian when the Persians took the hostages.
00:32:04.200 Derek Harvey, correct me if I'm wrong here.
00:32:07.200 Are they telling me that they're going to take the Eisenhower...
00:32:11.200 In the shooting gallery of the Eastern Med, we have two carrier battle groups.
00:32:14.200 We have the Ford and we have the Eisenhower, I think it is, correct?
00:32:18.200 You're going to take to get to...
00:32:21.200 To get to...
00:32:22.200 Help me out here, brother.
00:32:23.200 To get to...
00:32:24.200 Because you're my Iraq guy.
00:32:26.200 To get down into the Red Sea, you've got to go to the...
00:32:29.200 In a situation like this, they're going to put an aircraft carrier through the Suez Canal
00:32:34.200 or are they going to send it all the way around the Horn of Africa, brother?
00:32:37.200 Well, they're going to take the most direct route, Steve.
00:32:43.200 So...
00:32:44.200 You're going to get down into the Red Sea and...
00:32:48.200 Derek, here's what I don't get.
00:32:50.200 Here's what I don't get.
00:32:51.200 You've got assets, and you can talk about it.
00:32:53.200 They've got incoming all weekend from the Houthis, from all the Persian proxies,
00:32:58.200 are unloading on American troops and American assets already in the region, virtually.
00:33:05.200 They haven't hit Qatar yet.
00:33:07.200 Austin's response is to send more troops, more carriers, more naval assets into the region.
00:33:16.200 Is that...
00:33:17.200 And I just want to make sure I'm...
00:33:18.200 And at the same time, they keep saying they want to stop the expansion of any kind of conflict.
00:33:23.200 Is that the way...
00:33:25.200 Is that our concept of deterrence, sir?
00:33:28.200 It is not deterrence.
00:33:29.200 For the people that haven't been following this, the Iranians and their sponsors, be it
00:33:38.200 Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi Shia, militia elements and others, have been all year long striking
00:33:45.200 at Americans and the American military in Iraq and elsewhere, and it's just accelerated.
00:33:53.200 The Iranians control these proxies.
00:33:56.200 They don't do anything without permission from the Iranian IRGC leadership.
00:34:01.200 The missiles that were fired from Yemen were given permission by the IRGC operatives there to fire.
00:34:09.200 They're trying to put pressure on Israel and the United States across the board.
00:34:13.200 Here's the thing.
00:34:15.200 Deterrence doesn't work.
00:34:16.200 These forced deployment options of sending signals about our resolve, about sending 2,000
00:34:22.200 troops to Europe to be ready, about moving some patriots and some theater ballistic missile
00:34:31.200 defense systems, air defense systems to Saudi Arabia.
00:34:35.200 These are good things in and of themselves, but they're not going to deter Iran and their
00:34:41.200 proxies because what deters them is an actual strike like what happened in the killing of Soleimani.
00:34:48.200 What actually deters them is taking out an Air Force base like President Trump did when the Syrian government used the chemical munitions in the north of the country.
00:35:00.200 Action is what matters, and believe that you are actually going to take action if you cross a red line.
00:35:07.200 And understand, Blinken and Austin have communicated a red line that is, if you kill American soldiers or you attack American bases and kill American soldiers or civilians, diplomatic personnel.
00:35:23.200 So that's the red line that we're supposedly communicating.
00:35:30.200 But if that's a red line, that's a very dangerous, maybe you put more people and you've exposed.
00:35:35.200 Look, the troops in Iraq have been exposed ever since we didn't really get the forces of agreement from from Biden.
00:35:41.200 This thing this is my point is where we're putting Tinder into a place that's about to go up at the same time.
00:35:48.200 And correct me if I'm wrong here.
00:35:49.200 It appears that we're into the whole nation building mode of the Bush thing with with the Palestinians in Gaza.
00:35:56.200 We're we're shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars every day.
00:36:00.200 No money to East Palestine, Ohio, but plenty of money to Palestine.
00:36:04.200 At the same time, it seemed like we're holding back.
00:36:08.200 Are we holding back the Israelis from the ground campaign?
00:36:11.200 We are absolutely holding back the Israelis from the ground campaign because of our concern about hostages and moving the hostage negotiation forward.
00:36:19.200 We gave one hundred million dollars the other day.
00:36:23.200 And in the supplemental, Steve, there's three point five billion dollars designated to be given to Gaza and Hamas for rebuilding.
00:36:32.200 Three point five billion dollars of American money going to Hamas in Gaza for rebuilding.
00:36:41.200 Let that sink in for a minute.
00:36:43.200 While we're holding back and the Israeli defense forces and putting pressure on them to provide things like water and stuff to the country and the people,
00:36:54.200 because I call Gaza a country because it has an elected government.
00:36:58.200 It runs the place.
00:36:59.200 The U.N. international organizations work with it day in and day out.
00:37:03.200 This is actually a war and we're treating it as if it's a small terrorist incident.
00:37:09.200 What tell me about Hezbollah.
00:37:14.200 They're there.
00:37:15.200 They're there.
00:37:16.200 They're trying to get it on on the northern side because as bad as the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas are in Gaza in the south, because what you've got here is really Turkey.
00:37:27.200 You've got the Turks.
00:37:28.200 You've got the Egyptians.
00:37:29.200 You've got the Arabs.
00:37:30.200 You've got the Persians.
00:37:31.200 They can give all these fancy new names and all this stuff.
00:37:34.200 You've got the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:37:35.200 You've got the Party of God in Lebanon.
00:37:38.200 They've got Israel surrounded and they're trying to drive Israel into the sea.
00:37:42.200 And they think they're winning the information war.
00:37:44.200 So this is not going to end.
00:37:46.200 This is not going to end pleasantly.
00:37:47.200 Just not, folks.
00:37:48.200 These people, they set a trap.
00:37:51.200 You've got the CCP's got a destroyer squadron down in the Persian Gulf.
00:37:56.200 They're sponsors, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:37:59.200 What's happening with the army to the north and what will be the most brutal front, the one in Lebanon?
00:38:05.200 Well, Hezbollah has been probing and firing artillery and short range rockets in the north of the country for about 10 days now.
00:38:14.200 And it's been a low-level skirmish.
00:38:17.200 Low-level, I say, but here's the problem.
00:38:20.200 For the Israelis, they've had to evacuate, for example, one small town of 20,000 people.
00:38:26.200 And they have to move them back into the country, Tel Aviv and farther south, where they're being put up in neighborhoods and communities and in hotels.
00:38:35.200 And it's a war zone up along the northern frontier.
00:38:39.200 And IRG commander was just in Tel Aviv, excuse me, just in Beirut coordinating with Hezbollah.
00:38:51.200 And they continue to move more supplies through Syrian airports in Damascus and Aleppo, which, by the way, Israel has been striking on occasion when they have targets that they think they can hit that have critical missile technology and munitions that are coming into the country of Syria to go on to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
00:39:15.200 So this is a low-level war going on all around.
00:39:18.200 We've got Iraqi Shia militias moving into Jordan, according to credible reports.
00:39:23.200 And the Jordanians are looking the other way because they don't want to get in a crossfire here.
00:39:28.200 We want to speak about China.
00:39:31.200 So given your…
00:39:32.200 They've got two frigates…
00:39:33.200 Yeah, go ahead.
00:39:34.200 Jump in and tell me about the CCP.
00:39:35.200 They have one frigate that they moved into the Persian Gulf, along with two destroyers.
00:39:42.200 All three of those combatant ships have sophisticated air defense systems that can, if they wanted to, they could shield Iran from strikes that might be coming from the Gulf or Israeli strikes that might come from that direction, trying to take that southern route.
00:40:00.200 But Israelis and others could always fly over Iraq if they needed to get to Iran.
00:40:05.200 But those three ships have got sea-to-land cruise missile capabilities that are pretty sophisticated, too.
00:40:13.200 These are state-of-the-art ships.
00:40:15.200 And they've got the supply tenders and other things there to support those three combatant ships.
00:40:20.200 This is a signal by China that they're in this and they're trying to influence potential relationships with Arab states and align with them against the United States.
00:40:31.200 Well, they're underwriting the Persians.
00:40:34.200 It's the long-term output deals at favorable prices, one, to de-dollarize because they're trying to work out baskets of currency.
00:40:42.200 They don't have to exchange it into dollars.
00:40:44.200 And they basically underwrite the mullahs.
00:40:47.200 The CCP's hands in every…
00:40:49.200 Also, the United States is on every side of this trade, too.
00:40:52.200 Like he said, $3.5 billion, ladies and gentlemen.
00:40:55.200 This is why we've got to fight these packages.
00:40:57.200 $3.5 billion, go to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Hamas murdering machine, right?
00:41:04.200 The murdering machine.
00:41:05.200 You can't tell me the political officials weren't in on this.
00:41:08.200 I don't buy any of that.
00:41:09.200 This thing was so well organized.
00:41:11.200 If you're in the political operation of Hamas, you're just as guilty as the guys who took the paragliders over there.
00:41:16.200 At least in my humble opinion.
00:41:18.200 Colonel Harvey.
00:41:20.200 No, absolutely right.
00:41:22.200 Right.
00:41:23.200 And the United Nations knows that there's an ammo dump next to their UN facility.
00:41:28.200 The human relief organizations know that there's a missile launch site right next to their facility.
00:41:34.200 The hospitals and the relief organizations in the hospital know that there's a Hamas headquarters,
00:41:40.200 planting cells and armory in the basement of that very same hospital.
00:41:45.200 That information has been collected.
00:41:48.200 U.S. intelligence knows it.
00:41:50.200 Israelis know it.
00:41:51.200 And so do the leadership of the civilians that are in the political entities in the international organizations that work with Hamas.
00:41:58.200 Everyone knows what's going on.
00:42:00.200 So, but people, obviously, certain people knew about this before the attack.
00:42:07.200 It's just impossible to have that organized, the scale of it, the breadth of the country of where they went, the lethality of it, air, sea, land.
00:42:15.200 How do we avoid?
00:42:17.200 How do we avoid this being the ground campaign leading us into a bigger, broader Middle East war that we're in for 20 years and could bankrupt the country, sir?
00:42:28.200 Well, I think first and foremost, we need to have an outcome and we have to think about what is the outcome.
00:42:35.200 And I think the outcome that is best for the United States and best for Israel security, but also for stability in the region, is for Israel to actually be successful in dismantling Hamas in Gaza.
00:42:52.200 And that's going to be a heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy lift.
00:42:55.200 But anything short of that is going to be problematic for U.S. interest and Israeli interest in the region.
00:43:01.200 How you get there, I'm not exactly sure at this point in time.
00:43:06.200 Now, that said, deterrent options and making sure that Hezbollah and Iran know that opening up a larger front more extensively than has already happened is going to be met with consequential responses that are far more severe than anything that has occurred to Lebanon in the previous conflicts.
00:43:28.200 And Hezbollah took a heavy beating in the last conflict.
00:43:32.200 And they don't want that to happen.
00:43:34.200 And Israel is communicating very clearly that this will be overwhelming force and they're going to be willing to accept the civilian casualties that are going to inflict.
00:43:45.200 Derek, hang on for a second.
00:43:47.200 I want to finish up with this because the picture of painting is quite grim.
00:43:51.200 If that's the best case, then that's a broader Middle East war.
00:43:55.200 Back in a second, Derek Harvey.
00:43:57.200 For war room veterans, you know, we have been all over the supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:44:10.200 China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.

00:45:32.200 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:45:35.200 Bannon.
00:45:36.200 Derek, folks, a lot of folks want to support Israel and they understand the hurdle they have.
00:45:46.200 But this has been festering for a long time.
00:45:49.200 And quite frankly, it's not acceptable as an ally.
00:45:53.200 And I understand people said, well, this is a tough thing to say, but it's got to be said to let your guard down like that because you're exposing us.
00:46:02.200 They got to take some responsibility and some accountability.
00:46:05.200 It's just not acceptable for them to have the burning man and have these kids down there and have everything going on.
00:46:11.200 The IDF not ready and have the watchtowers with the with the no guards on them and to have this thing overrun and the IDF not not not go for seven hours.
00:46:21.200 I mean, we don't know.
00:46:22.200 You're at their ass.
00:46:24.200 We're being asked to back a play that I'm not so sure is there.
00:46:28.200 I don't think these are the Jewish Spartans of the 67 and 73.
00:46:31.200 Maybe they are.
00:46:32.200 I've seen that IDF force, at least the footage I've seen.
00:46:35.200 It didn't exactly strike me as Spartanesque.
00:46:37.200 Now, I realize I got special force, all that.
00:46:39.200 But you're talking about a heavy lift of going into these tunnels, the casualties you're going to take, the civilian casualties.
00:46:45.200 Also, the Persians and the Arabs and these guys are just not going to sit around and let these punches be hit.
00:46:51.200 Israel has already lost the information war.
00:46:53.200 They've lost the information war throughout Europe and in the United States.
00:46:57.200 You have now these Jewish student groups on campus, Jewish student groups.
00:47:00.200 Now, there are fronts for other organizations that are being used by people, but this is a mess.
00:47:06.200 And we have to be very specific about what we're trying to do as strategic objectives.
00:47:12.200 Strategic objectives, because the outlet, the upside outline, the case you just made is we're sucked into a massive Middle East war.
00:47:21.200 In the moment that either a troop, special forces and or airstrikes of American forces come in to back the Israelis.
00:47:30.200 That's all bets are off of them because they're going to say, OK, you've chosen sides.
00:47:34.200 You're you're you're backing these guys in combat.
00:47:37.200 Let's get it on.
00:47:39.200 It's another open ended 20 year Middle East war that will even be bloodier than Iraq and bloodier than Afghanistan combined.
00:47:48.200 Am I incorrect in any element of that, sir?
00:47:52.200 Well, one thing I would say is, you know, I share your concerns because if we go into this with a Biden-esque approach of wanting to just manage this and tippy toe instead of being decisive.
00:48:04.200 That's one one part of it.
00:48:06.200 Part two is the IDF and Bibi and President, I mean, Prime Minister Netanyahu do not want American military forces engaged in this conflict.
00:48:16.200 They want the intelligence, the supplies, logistical support, that type of thing.
00:48:21.200 But they do not want the U.S. directly involved.
00:48:24.200 That said, Israel is taking their time right now and they don't want to rush into Gaza with the ground campaign.
00:48:33.200 Keeping Hamas on edge, continuing to do battlefield preparation, pounding them, hitting command and control nodes, ammo points, firing points, etc.
00:48:44.200 While keeping pressure on Hamas, that is setting the stage for what will come next.
00:48:50.200 Keep in mind that we took six weeks of preparation to go into Iraq.
00:48:56.200 We bombarded them for six weeks.
00:48:58.200 And it was not as tough a situation as this very condensed area of Gaza with the tunnels and the urban terrain and having to fight through, you know, building by building, block by block.
00:49:11.200 So I think that's that's good concerns about the IDF.
00:49:16.200 Yes. The additional time is good for the IDF to focus and get their act together.
00:49:21.200 The armor forces are really good and the artillery forces are really good in in the IDF.
00:49:27.200 The air force is actually superb.
00:49:30.200 The problem for them is their regular infantry ground forces, except for some of their elite units.
00:49:36.200 So that's that's going to take some, you know, upping of their their game here.
00:49:41.200 And that additional time will benefit them.
00:49:44.200 That said, Israel is establishing its red lines and its deterrent lines, and they can handle their own.
00:49:51.200 This war will not last long, in my view, if it erupts with Lebanon, because Israel will strike with overwhelming force.
00:50:00.200 They're not going to play this intra-war escalatory game of I hit this, you hit that, and then we're going to escalate.
00:50:07.200 They're going to hit hard with overwhelming force.
00:50:10.200 And they're daring Iran to get into this because they're saying some of their ministers and former, former participants in the government with Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:50:21.200 who, before the UNID government came into play, are communicating with Tehran and letting them know that there are real red lines and that Iran will pay a heavy price on Iranian soil.
00:50:33.200 And Israel has the means to do that.
00:50:37.200 Derek, thank you so much.
00:50:39.200 By the way, I'm going to find out about this.
00:50:41.200 We couldn't do a dumber thing than to send an aircraft carrier through the Suez Canal right now as a sitting duck to get to the to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
00:50:49.200 Hopefully, if they're going to do that, either bring from one from the Pacific fleet or take it out around the Med and take around the Africa.
00:50:56.200 Derek, we'll get into all that later.
00:50:59.200 Thank you for doing this, though.
00:51:00.200 I appreciate it.
00:51:01.200 I know your schedule is very busy.
00:51:02.200 Where do people get to you, all your writings, and if they want you to come and speak to a group?
00:51:06.200 Derekharvey.org.
00:51:08.200 That's Derek, D-E-R-E-K, H-A-R-V-E-Y.org.
00:51:12.200 And, you know, I am available for public speaking, and I have a pretty full schedule,
00:51:18.200 I'm always willing to entertain new invitations.
00:51:21.200 And then at Derekharvey on True Social and on Twitter, it's Colonel D-Harvey, H-A-R-V-E-Y.
00:51:31.200 Colonel Harvey is one of the best.
00:51:33.200 He'll have a big role in the Ann Applebaum as we take apart the administrative state and the deep state.
00:51:39.200 Derekharvey would be the tip of that in President Trump's second term.
00:51:43.200 Thank you so much, sir.
00:51:44.200 Take care, Steve.
00:51:45.200 Bye-bye.
00:51:46.200 Remember, 2-0-2-2-2-5-3-1-2-1.
00:51:50.200 Tom Emmer, never Trump, so we're never Emmer.
00:51:54.200 Got to do the work before today.
00:51:56.200 Then you've decapitated the entire leadership team, gone in three weeks, with the specter of McCarthy over us.
00:52:04.200 But at least that's gone in the first round.
00:52:07.200 Chris Hoard joins us.
00:52:09.200 Chris, now more than ever, I think people got to start thinking about satellite phones.
00:52:14.200 Things are quite turbulent in this nation and the world.
00:52:16.200 Where do they get them?
00:52:17.200 You've got another special for us.
00:52:18.200 What do you got?
00:52:19.200 Yeah, Steve, we have the free satellite phone with activation on a 24-month plan at just $119 a month.
00:52:26.200 And you're absolutely right.
00:52:27.200 This is what we've talked about for years.
00:52:30.200 You know, this escalation in the Middle East could spread.
00:52:34.200 We know that Hezbollah and others have been exploiting the southern border.
00:52:39.200 So don't think what happened in Israel can't happen here.
00:52:42.200 And the key to survival and the key to staying safe is to be able to communicate in such a disaster.
00:52:49.200 So check out SAT123.com.
00:52:52.200 That's SAT123.com or 941-955-1020.
00:52:57.200 Give us a call at 941-955-1020.
00:53:00.200 The satellite phone will work when nothing else does.
00:53:04.200 What we see in Israel is they're blacking out the cell networks.
00:53:08.200 Yes, Steve.
00:53:10.200 Hang on one second.
00:53:11.200 I want to hold you through the break because I want to make sure people know what they're getting here.
00:53:14.200 Quite important, not just that we're building the patriot economy,
00:53:18.200 we're going to make sure you're prepared for the major contingencies.
00:53:25.200 We're going to take a short break.
00:53:27.200 Chris Hoare is 100% right about that southern border.
00:53:30.200 Back in a moment.
00:53:32.200 Folks, let me tell you about Soul Tea.
00:53:34.200 It's a company that makes a soft gel supplement rich in antioxidants
00:53:38.200 to help people like you and me keep a healthy heart.
00:53:42.200 While COVID gets all the headlines, it's important to realize that heart disease
00:53:46.200 kills nearly 700,000 Americans every year.
00:53:50.200 Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.
00:53:54.200 Heart disease builds over time.
00:53:56.200 Hypertension, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, all of it affects our heart.
00:54:01.200 A healthy heart is key to being energetic as we get older.
00:54:05.200 It is never too early to take care of your heart.
00:54:09.200 You see, heart disease sneaks up on us.
00:54:11.200 You can start in your 30s and when this happens, you're at serious risk by the time you turn 60.
