Bannon's War Room - Episode 3149： Breaking Down The Funding Fiasco On Capitol Hill

00:00:00.000 to help with hostage recovery inside the Gaza Strip.

00:00:04.000 Two U.S. officials tell NBC News American drones have been operating above the territory

00:00:08.600 since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th.

00:00:12.360 The drones are being used to try to locate hostages taken by Hamas.

00:00:16.760 Israel's military says there are more than 240 of those hostages being held captive inside Gaza.

00:00:23.380 The New York Times first reported the story, citing flight data on the publicly accessible tracking website.

00:00:29.400 Website FlightRadar24.

00:00:32.640 Many of the hostages are believed to be held in the vast network of tunnels underground Gaza

00:00:37.260 that are integral to Hamas operations.

00:00:40.400 As Richard mentioned, Secretary of State Blinken is on the ground in Israel.

00:00:45.360 He's expected to ask Prime Minister Netanyahu for some measure of restraint,

00:00:49.400 not a ceasefire, but a humanitarian pause.

00:00:51.560 Then he'll go on tomorrow to Jordan, where he will hear that Israel needs to stop what it's doing, 0.94

00:00:56.860 that it needs to pull back entirely.

00:00:58.740 So what is the line he's walking there?

00:01:01.320 And what are the options on the table here between a ceasefire, a humanitarian pause,

00:01:06.340 and everything else that's being discussed?

00:01:08.900 Yeah, let's start with your second point about going to Jordan.

00:01:12.020 As I understand it, Willie, there's no longer an Israeli ambassador in Jordan.

00:01:17.560 The Jordanians have removed their ambassador from Israel.

00:01:20.720 And I think what that tells us is all that's been accomplished on a positive side in the Middle East

00:01:25.920 is somewhat vulnerable.

00:01:27.620 We shouldn't assume there can't be backsliding.

00:01:30.320 Jordan's a country that's predominantly Palestinian and is extraordinarily worried that instability,

00:01:36.020 like we're seeing in Gaza, could see you were just talking about with Richard Engel in the West Bank,

00:01:40.820 could ultimately spread.

00:01:42.620 And that's one of our concerns, is to avoid instability showing elsewhere in the Middle East.

00:01:48.860 This is Republicans returning to kind of who they are.

00:01:52.840 And Stephanie, I would put it in the context of this.

00:01:55.920 This is exactly what the House would have done, even if Kevin McCarthy was still the House Speaker.

00:02:01.000 I don't think the opening salvo is a real reflection of where Mike Johnson is compared to the rest of the caucus.

00:02:07.680 They always flirt with this idea of offsetting emergency, or in this case, aid for a national security partner that impacts our own security.

00:02:16.140 But they do it knowing that this will not be the end product.

00:02:18.900 And so that is the question now about Mike Johnson's leadership as the new speaker.

00:02:23.280 We know under a Kevin McCarthy, it would have started here, but it would end differently.

00:02:27.960 And differently means a compromise or, frankly, fully ceding to Joe Biden and Democrats

00:02:33.200 to make sure there's a package that's not paid for that doesn't include the IRS cuts.

00:02:37.860 We don't know yet.

00:02:38.860 Is Mike Johnson willing to really shut down the government or stall aid to Israel over this type of ideological warfare?

00:02:45.960 We really don't know.

00:02:47.040 What it does do, though, being in regular order now under Mike Johnson,

00:02:51.040 it shows the American people where the priorities and values of the Republican Party are,

00:02:56.080 and that's where they get into trouble.

00:02:57.460 The desire to actually secure funding for the conflicts involving Israel and Ukraine was supposed to be,

00:03:03.900 it was supposed to be the reason that moderate Republicans voted in a far, voted in a far-right Speaker of the House.

00:03:10.900 With the intraparty war over House leadership resolved,

00:03:13.820 the idea was that those emergencies would finally be dealt with.

00:03:17.500 At least, that was the idea.

00:03:19.460 Today, it became painfully obvious that the Republicans' new Speaker, Congressman Mike Johnson,

00:03:25.620 is not really going to deal with any of it.

00:03:29.240 This evening, Speaker Johnson put every Republican on the record voting for a bill

00:03:34.940 that did not include any aid to Ukraine and which would provide aid to Israel

00:03:40.080 only on the condition that Congress defunded the IRS to allow billionaires to cheat on their taxes.

00:03:46.840 And that's sort of the point here, Connor, because let's talk about this starting point.

00:03:53.300 The cuts they want to make to the IRS, all right, come directly from the money used to go after super wealthy tax evaders.

00:04:03.280 It's unethical, it's awful, and it's leaving money on the table.

00:04:07.360 It's money that the IRS would bring in from tax cheats.

00:04:10.740 Does this not show the American people that Mike Johnson is just not a serious person?

00:04:16.840 I think it does on any number of levels.

00:04:20.060 Like you said, this is actually probably going to cost the taxpayers money if it were to go through, which it won't.

00:04:26.880 But that's why the Congressional Budget Office came back and said,

00:04:29.780 actually, you're not saving any money because every dollar you cut from the IRS,

00:04:33.400 we're going to lose three or four dollars in tax revenue that they don't collect.

00:04:37.700 But I think beyond that, the guy got to Congress one year before I did.

00:04:42.520 He's not prepared for this.

00:04:43.820 He's one of the most inexperienced people ever to hold this job.

00:04:47.200 And what's going to happen is Schumer's going to get a bunch of Republicans to vote for an Israel aid bill over in the Senate that doesn't involve the IRS.

00:04:55.680 And then a bunch of Mike Johnson's members are going to say, OK, I'm going to be for that, too,

00:04:59.240 because all these Senate Republicans, including the senator from my own state, has already voted for it.

00:05:03.760 So he's going to get jammed.

00:05:05.100 And this whole thing will be have been a pointless exercise.

00:05:07.400 But he didn't realize that yet because he's not ready for this job.

00:05:11.060 This is the October jobs, jobs, jobs report.

00:05:14.660 And, of course, we're expecting nonfarm payrolls to be around one hundred and eighty thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand.

00:05:23.640 That is versus three hundred and thirty six thousand.

00:05:26.820 There are revisions coming.

00:05:28.640 The cumulative revision over two months, minus one hundred and one thousand.

00:05:34.840 So that three thirty six turns into two hundred and ninety seven.

00:05:39.060 Now, let's move along, shall we?

00:05:40.980 The unemployment rate and do keep in mind our last look on the unemployment rate was pretty important because we had three point eight.

00:05:49.180 It moves up again to three point nine, three point nine, three point nine would be the highest level going all the way back actually to January to January when we were at four percent.

00:06:01.620 And just for a comparison, we were at three point seven one year ago.

00:06:05.460 If you look at October of twenty two versus October of twenty three.

00:06:09.780 And finally, the underemployment rate, which is seven point two.

00:06:14.380 It continues to move up.

00:06:15.980 Maybe I saved the best for last labor force participation. 0.90

00:06:19.280 Sixty two point seven.

00:06:20.920 It's going in the wrong direction.

00:06:22.620 Our last look was sixty two point eight.

00:06:24.860 That was the best since February of twenty twenty.

00:06:26.620 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:06:35.080 Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.

00:06:40.320 I got a free shot.

00:06:41.580 All these networks lying about the people.

00:06:44.560 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:06:46.560 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:06:48.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:06:50.600 It's going to happen.

00:06:51.900 And where do people like that go to share the big line?

00:06:54.580 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:07:02.100 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:07:05.820 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:07:12.200 War Room.

00:07:13.020 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:07:15.080 Bannon.

00:07:15.400 It's Friday, 3 November, Year of Our Lord, 2023.

00:07:20.300 Of course, we've got capital markets news, economic news, geopolitical, the fights on Capitol Hill, everything that this audience has come to expect from the show.

00:07:30.540 And also to empower you as you go about your work in saving this country.

00:07:36.760 Big news.

00:07:37.720 The labor numbers today, I think the most important thing, the buried lead that Santelli talked about is the resets off the, the changes off the numbers you've already been given.

00:07:49.160 It's just like the deficit numbers we saw when they cooked the books and it only got to 1.7.

00:07:55.700 They got a 1.7 trillion dollar deficit instead of 2 trillion, which it really is.

00:08:00.420 Here you're seeing the labor numbers every month.

00:08:02.980 And we're going to have EJ on this afternoon.

00:08:04.380 Every month they're going back with these massive reallocations to show you that the numbers are never good.

00:08:10.920 This, this government, you cannot trust anything this regime says, including the blockbuster news out of the New York Times from going to a website that has the flight data.

00:08:23.400 The Biden regime has had drones over, over Gaza.

00:08:29.440 And I hope somebody in the house knew this, have had drones over Gaza at the beginning.

00:08:33.820 And the question is, is that for targeting?

00:08:36.080 I mean, is we now an active participant in this?

00:08:39.260 This is why, you know, in the Israeli bill yesterday was fine.

00:08:44.300 And the fact that it bifurcated out Ukraine and now overnight, the Biden regime is telling us they may cave on border security.

00:08:52.700 They're really going to extort.

00:08:54.560 They're going to extort Congress, throw on some bells and whistles on, on quote unquote, border security to get Ukraine. 0.98

00:09:01.300 This is how purely evil they are.

00:09:05.340 Purely evil they are.

00:09:06.360 They rely on everything, whether it's what our real engagement is on these wars, what, what numbers are of deficits, what the unemployment real number.

00:09:18.080 You can't believe anything they say because it always gets adjusted later.

00:09:23.260 They want it out for the news cycle saying, get a narrative going.

00:09:25.840 And then they want to, they want to change it later.

00:09:28.520 You have to be all over this.

00:09:29.960 We're going to get into a lot there.

00:09:30.940 We're going to go to the border Newsweek magazine, its lead story overnight bannons demands for funding Israel.

00:09:37.600 It's quite simple.

00:09:38.380 And I've put it up on getter as the lead.

00:09:40.740 The priority here has to be the stopping of the invasion on the southern border.

00:09:45.720 If we do not stop that and stop it immediately, there's not going to be any America there to be an ally of Israel. 0.92

00:09:53.300 Just not going to happen.

00:09:54.260 And the Israel, the $14 billion is needed, but it's not urgent.

00:09:59.600 It's just not urgent.

00:10:00.800 OK, we've got to get focused.

00:10:02.960 And, you know, Mike Johnson, who I think is doing a very good job, but understand that he's talking about putting up the Ukraine bill with border security.

00:10:09.980 You're playing into their hands and we will fight that.

00:10:12.800 We will fight any one more penny to Ukraine. 0.97

00:10:15.880 The reason is there's a major story out that I put up that one of the lead generals in in in Ukraine is saying, hey, the offensive is a stalemate.

00:10:27.200 We're in a total stalemate now.

00:10:28.460 That's coming from him.

00:10:29.600 That that's your military update from Ukraine.

00:10:32.120 So a lot to get to.

00:10:33.320 I want to make sure we're not chasing shiny toys because because Murdoch News, who's been defeated.

00:10:38.780 We defeated Murdoch News on everything from from from Trump, because, you know, they've had DeSantis and now they get Nikki Haley.

00:10:46.980 And on Tuesday night, they're going to have Youngkin to to the fight over the House and to get the spending down.

00:10:54.200 And now to remove to remove Kevin McCarthy and his click in losing everything.

00:11:00.220 They're going to put shiny toys out there for you to for you to follow.

00:11:04.560 And I can see on Hannity every night you got Comer, you got these oversight guys.

00:11:09.100 You don't see a compelling argument.

00:11:10.540 They come up for these three minute hits for the shiny toy and want everybody to focus on this.

00:11:15.020 So we have to see if it's real.

00:11:16.680 Obviously, the corruption and the selling out of the country and the treason of the Biden regime is is is is so well documented.

00:11:24.540 We've got to get on with it.

00:11:25.700 Mike Johnson said, hey, I think it's very compelling.

00:11:27.800 Going to get on with it.

00:11:28.560 Ask Mike Howell to join us.

00:11:30.700 And I want to tie together, Mike, some great research.

00:11:33.440 And I don't know why, you know, as great as you guys are at Heritage are, you've got other things you've got to focus on.

00:11:39.540 I don't know why we're depending upon Heritage and your group to have to do to me what should be basic fundamental investigation coming out of the House.

00:11:48.140 I mean, I love what Kevin Roberts, you guys are doing.

00:11:50.940 I love the group that you have.

00:11:52.160 You've been on the board.

00:11:52.840 You've been everywhere.

00:11:53.980 But I keep asking, particularly what you're showing us today.

00:11:56.720 Why is this not coming from a House from a House committee?

00:11:59.840 And why are we not on top of things on these investigations of the Biden regime?

00:12:05.000 Mike Howell.

00:12:06.100 Well, that's exactly why we started the oversight project at Heritage.

00:12:09.560 I mean, congressional oversight is a failed institution at this point.

00:12:12.920 I mean, we can look back over the decades.

00:12:15.300 What has it really accomplished?

00:12:16.540 What has it proven?

00:12:17.500 There is not the fall through, the wherewithal, the political courage.

00:12:21.540 And then also just the attention span and memories of the institution.

00:12:25.860 I mean, if you look at Hillary Clinton, what we're going to talk about here today a little bit, what happened as a result of some of the findings that were exposed by external parties and brought to Congress? 0.95

00:12:35.440 Absolutely nothing.

00:12:36.420 We can talk about international influence peddling schemes, the Global Foundation ripping off an entire country in Haiti, which then our government shovels more money to.

00:12:44.800 We can talk about the bathroom server, the use of pseudonyms, and zero accountability.

00:12:48.820 That is essentially the same playbook that Biden picked up and ran at a less sophisticated level.

00:12:54.900 And the lack of Congress to actually fall through and solve these problems just makes the road for Biden to do this with Hunter Biden and his brother Jim so much more and more easy.

00:13:04.600 And the best example, I think, of recent history is John Durham.

00:13:08.020 Everyone pointed to Durham and said he's going to save the day.

00:13:10.400 We don't need to do our oversight because we've got John Durham coming in.

00:13:13.520 The Durham report would be so great.

00:13:14.720 Well, he showed up with an absolute nothing burger.

00:13:17.040 And you had congressional Republicans at the Judiciary Committee complaining about the failure to link the investigation to Hillary Clinton, creating the Russia hoax.

00:13:25.940 And so, great.

00:13:26.680 That's a great point.

00:13:27.640 Why didn't Durham do that?

00:13:29.060 But then the onus goes on to Congress.

00:13:31.900 Congress would yell to Durham about not doing it, and then has failed to do anything about it.

00:13:36.260 Hillary Clinton has skated completely free.

00:13:38.800 She's guilty across the board of several things that they're now accusing Biden of.

00:13:42.780 And the regime just knows that the oversight investigations are a limp and feckless way to hold them accountable, and they're just running roughshod over it.

00:13:53.620 And messaging every night, three minutes at a time, on Sean Hannity to retirement homes around the country isn't going to get it done.

00:14:00.960 You do not remove a corrupt president in this regime with retirement home communities watching Hannity every night. 0.75

00:14:07.420 You've got to build out the messaging.

00:14:09.540 You've got to go all gas, no brakes.

00:14:11.120 We're not going to wait for them to do it.

00:14:12.800 So we're in federal court.

00:14:14.100 We're across the board doing it ourselves, an oversight project.

00:14:19.160 Hang on.

00:14:19.920 We're going to take a short commercial break, and I want to tee up when we come back.

00:14:22.980 For not doing this properly the first time, you haven't killed the vampire with Hillary Clinton.

00:14:30.120 I mean, just because we defeated her in 2016 doesn't mean the Clinton operation and the vampire is not still there.

00:14:34.980 They're all over Ukraine. 0.78

00:14:37.120 One of the reasons that you've got $60 billion up in your grill right now when the country's in a financial freefall is the Clinton Global Initiative is back because it was not taken care of originally, like Mike Howell's talking about.

00:14:49.240 We've got to get serious, got to go on offense and stay on offense.

00:14:53.520 All gas, no brake, according to Mike Howell, Heritage.

00:14:55.840 Short break.

00:14:56.480 Mike is on the other side.

00:15:00.300 I know this is hard to believe, but we're up against another government shutdown later this month, and our wise leaders deal with it how they always do, with more spending.

00:15:11.040 While lawmakers are high-fiving, your savings account continues to lose value because more spending weakens the dollar.

00:15:18.420 Now, end the cycle.

00:15:20.460 Diversify into gold with the help of Birch Gold Group.

00:15:23.820 And listen, when you open a gold IRA for every $10,000 you spend by December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you a free gold bar.

00:15:32.360 Let me repeat that.

00:15:33.280 For every $10,000 you spend by December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you a free gold bar.

00:15:39.860 Just text Bannon to 989898 to claim eligibility before Black Friday.

00:15:45.680 Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a gold IRA for no money out of pocket, and you still get the free gold bar.

00:15:56.160 Don't let your savings become a victim of the further devaluation of the dollar.

00:16:01.200 Remember, the BRICS countries are focused 100% on de-dollarization. 0.92

00:16:08.040 Text Bannon to 989898.

00:16:10.660 Receive a free gold information kit and claim your eligibility before Black Friday to receive free gold bars on your qualified purchase.

00:16:19.800 Do it today.

00:16:21.060 Action.

00:16:21.820 Action.

00:16:22.520 Action.

00:16:23.780 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:16:26.120 Bannon.

00:16:26.460 Okay. 0.98

00:16:30.160 As we break down this funding fiasco, you have to keep bashing yourself.

00:16:35.440 You've got the generals coming out in Ukraine.

00:16:38.980 And the reason the general is being truthful, he understands he's got to try to get a long-term relationship with NATO and these countries and Poland, particularly these brave countries that are thrown in over in Eastern Europe.

00:16:49.900 And he's not going to get like Zelensky.

00:16:51.520 Zelensky is like a used car salesman.

00:16:52.960 He's not going to do that.

00:16:54.280 He's going to be straightforward.

00:16:55.080 He's very straightforward.

00:16:56.040 He says, look, this thing didn't pan out.

00:16:58.180 We didn't make a lot of progress.

00:16:59.340 It's a stalemate.

00:17:00.100 It is what it is.

00:17:01.000 But we've got to face reality.

00:17:02.680 Up on Capitol Hill, they're up there with $60, $80 billion.

00:17:05.060 And this is just a money laundering, child trafficking, biolab.

00:17:08.580 Who knows?

00:17:09.360 As I say, we haven't picked the scab yet.

00:17:11.340 One of the reasons is the Clintons.

00:17:14.420 When we talk about the cartel, you've got to talk about kind of these prominent families that have – you've got factions, you've got lobbyists, but then you have like – you have these factions.

00:17:24.160 The Clinton faction is a powerful faction.

00:17:26.340 This weekend, I think it's the 15th anniversary of like Obama, their victory.

00:17:30.620 They're all meeting again.

00:17:32.020 And as you remember, the Biden regime, a third of that is the restoration of Obama's third term.

00:17:40.060 So, Mike, how – I want to go back.

00:17:42.400 You guys, the reason I wanted to start the show today with you because I'm very concerned on the great fights we got going and people on the ramparts and focus.

00:17:50.960 I can see what's happening.

00:17:52.740 They're trying to divert people's attention with shiny toys right now.

00:17:55.560 And I'm all for the impeachment and investigation of the Bidens and get real because the facts are out there, which I've been saying for a couple of years.

00:18:04.480 And now you've got – which I'll get to later. 0.95

00:18:06.520 You've got Hunter Biden lighting Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani up in an op-ed on USA Today that we're mean and cruel people picking on him because he's a perverted drug addict. 0.97

00:18:17.300 Go back. 0.95

00:18:18.140 Mike, you've got to take the Clintons out metaphorically.

00:18:23.320 You've got to do it through investigations and showing the criminality.

00:18:26.160 Well, go back to this original research you've got of how we've let all these guys off the hook, and this is one of the reasons they still come back and still have such a prominent influence on American policy.

00:18:37.020 Right.

00:18:37.620 So we got some documents out of the Office of Special Counsel.

00:18:40.960 That's an independent agency that investigates certain violations.

00:18:44.580 And this relates to the infamous tarmac meeting.

00:18:48.260 So the heat of when Clinton and Hillary was on the ropes, you had Bill Clinton who confronted and got on the private jet with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

00:18:56.720 Okay?

00:18:57.300 This clearly implicates, you know, pressure on her to drop the investigation into Hillary.

00:19:02.400 The question is what was offered in return.

00:19:04.360 I think implications point to a Supreme Court seat if Hillary Clinton was president. 1.00

00:19:08.720 What did Republicans do with it?

00:19:10.260 Absolutely nothing besides message about it.

00:19:12.440 And so we're still in court fighting for the documents.

00:19:15.100 And one of the documents we got out is an interview transcript from this Office of Special Counsel investigator with the FBI.

00:19:21.500 And it's pointing at all that.

00:19:23.740 Shoot! 0.92

00:19:30.660 What's it pointing out, Mike?

00:19:32.480 I didn't catch that.

00:19:34.320 Did he freeze?

00:19:35.240 Okay.

00:19:35.880 We'll have to unfreeze him in a second.

00:19:38.680 Here's my point.

00:19:39.420 Right now, you have Comer and you have Jordan.

00:19:43.840 And they do this Hannity special the other day, you know, with Mike Johnson.

00:19:47.500 And it's fine.

00:19:48.140 Those kind of things are fine.

00:19:49.160 They're fine to do.

00:19:50.000 They're like mini pep rallies up on Capitol Hill.

00:19:52.180 And you got Mike Johnson sitting there going, you know, I think there's something serious here.

00:19:56.120 And, you know, we're going to have to pursue it.

00:19:58.420 That's fine.

00:19:59.040 That's exactly what we want to see.

00:20:00.560 However, you got Jordan.

00:20:02.500 And look, one of the reasons Jordan's not Speaker of the House is because this audience, and this is what the mainstream media missed, this audience was not that enthusiastic.

00:20:12.040 Why?

00:20:12.880 The Jim Jordan 1.0 was our guy.

00:20:16.060 The Jim Jordan 2.0 was not our guy.

00:20:18.880 And what we know from the Jim Jordan 2.0, he never issued any subpoenas.

00:20:23.700 We're here in November.

00:20:25.000 We're here a year away from that.

00:20:26.400 We're a year away from the election.

00:20:29.300 And there has been no subpoenas issued.

00:20:32.020 That's because Kevin McCarthy and the donors didn't want to go there.

00:20:35.240 And my point, if you're going to clean up this mess, if you're going to clean up this mess, you have to go there.

00:20:41.460 You have a duty and obligation to go there.

00:20:43.480 Mike, we got your back.

00:20:45.600 So tell me, where do you stand in this investigation right now?

00:20:49.120 We're going to keep prying all the docs out.

00:20:50.760 This document set hasn't been provided to the American people.

00:20:53.500 Just this, you know, one aspect, which is the tarmac meeting, which is the quid pro quo for all of this.

00:20:58.680 And we know there was preferential treatment given to Hillary. 1.00

00:21:02.240 You have the infamous Jim Comey dropping of the investigations, Loretta Lynch throwing up her hands and saying she's off the hook.

00:21:09.300 And so we're going to keep making the case.

00:21:10.760 Somebody, whoever the next president who controls the DOJ needs to get in there and actually impose consequences on these people.

00:21:18.620 This is why we see the same types of corruption, whether it's bathroom servers, the pseudonyms that Hillary used, and then now that Biden and Hunter used.

00:21:26.800 It's the same stuff.

00:21:27.760 The regime and their top-level elites use these tradecrafts.

00:21:32.120 And if Republicans on Capitol Hill cannot impose consequences, then we're going to take the case, the next conservative administration, state attorney generals, and anybody else who has the political wherewithal to actually do something about it.

00:21:43.760 And it's not just Hillary.

00:21:45.120 Look at Ukraine.

00:21:46.580 I mean, this whole thing was set up about 10 years ago because of the bad actions that were related to the Clinton, you know, State Department.

00:21:52.560 John McCain and others going out there, stirring up all this trouble that the U.S. and, you know, everyday Americans are now on the hook for well over $100 billion in a position where, you know, we are at our weakest on the world stage.

00:22:05.600 We're spread out on multiple continents, and it all traces back to corruption and the corruption of the regime.

00:22:11.100 And until someone steps in and rips out the rot at the root, this will continue, and the conservative movement will just be little brother yelling at three-minute clips on evening news, and that's not enough to get it done.

00:22:23.420 That's why we're doing it ourselves at the Heritage Foundation.

00:22:25.780 We built an investigative team that is par none, far surpasses anything out there on the right, a litigation team.

00:22:32.020 And we're fighting for these things in court where the House of Representatives has not been yet this Congress.

00:22:36.400 They have not sued once.

00:22:37.540 We've sued 35 times, and we're going to make that number close to 100 as we can get.

00:22:42.020 All gas, no brakes.

00:22:43.540 Follow us at OversightPR on X.

00:22:45.920 We're putting all the findings out there, and we're not going to wait for anyone else to do it.

00:22:50.460 Okay, Mike, I know you've got to bounce, but I've got to get you back on here.

00:22:53.440 You said one of the most profound things about 10 years ago with the color revolution, you know, 2014.

00:22:58.920 You know, I had both Nigel and Raheem actually went over there to cover there for me when I ran Breitbart.

00:23:05.680 We've been stirring up the pot over there for a decade, and now you're getting the due bill.

00:23:10.320 You've got $113 billion already in there, $120 billion.

00:23:13.640 They're asking for another 60 to 80, but it's going to be another 60 to 80 next year, just like Afghanistan, another 60 to 80. 0.79

00:23:18.800 We're going to be at half a trillion dollars before you – and all you've done is killed 50 or 60,000 Ukrainians, as Mersheimer told you it happened.

00:23:26.880 And the generals are now sitting there going, hey, look, this is not happening.

00:23:29.600 It's a stalemate.

00:23:30.980 This thing – and here's what upsets me.

00:23:34.560 I have tremendous respect for Kevin Roberts and Heritage and Mike Howe, obviously.

00:23:39.360 But why are we putting the burden on these guys?

00:23:42.140 Why is he in court 35 times?

00:23:43.860 And we haven't given a freaking subpoena yet for Hunter Biden.

00:23:47.660 And they're sitting on Fox the other night kind of bouncing around, yeah, we've got to do this.

00:23:51.060 It's November of 2023.

00:23:53.860 We're one year from a general election.

00:23:56.480 They've been at this now for three years.

00:23:58.980 Mike Howe, once again, where do people go to find out all your work, sir?

00:24:02.780 Find us on X at Oversight PR.

00:24:05.100 We're posting our lawsuits and the findings there.

00:24:09.560 All gas, no brakes.

00:24:11.080 Thank you very much, Mike Howe.

00:24:12.780 Love it.

00:24:15.920 Okay.

00:24:16.360 I got another fighter, and they're fighting up in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and this one's getting tight.

00:24:21.380 A couple weeks, I think four weeks ago, we had Terry on.

00:24:24.660 Cameron, the Republican, was down 15 points.

00:24:28.400 Let's play a spot, and I'm going to bring Terry in.

00:24:31.680 Growing up, putting in countless hours at early morning practices, I would have never imagined I'd be competing against a male.

00:24:37.900 Democrats like Andy Beshear claim this isn't happening, but it is, and it happened to me.

00:24:42.540 When I swam for Kentucky in the national championship, Leah Thomas and I tied, but they gave the trophy to him.

00:24:48.300 Governor Andy Beshear, a real man wouldn't let men steal trophies from us, and he wouldn't let men and girls' locker rooms.

00:24:56.320 That's why I'm supporting a real man this November.

00:24:59.240 Daniel Cameron for Governor.

00:25:00.420 It's just common sense.

00:25:03.380 We protect kids from alcohol, tobacco, and gambling.

00:25:07.080 We even have age of consent laws to protect them from sexual abuse.

00:25:12.080 So why is Andy Beshear vetoing legislation that protects kids from permanent, harmful, and sterilizing sex change drugs and procedures?

00:25:21.020 If kids can't consent to sex, how in the world can they consent to a sex change?

00:25:27.260 It's just common sense.

00:25:29.220 Vote against Andy Beshear.

00:25:34.180 Amazing.

00:25:35.020 Down 15 points, what, three, four weeks ago.

00:25:37.620 Where are we today, Brother Terry Schilling?

00:25:41.840 Hey, thanks for having me, Steve.

00:25:43.240 So a new poll just dropped this morning showing the race from the same pollster that showed it being a 15-point race, Emerson, last month.

00:25:51.780 It is now 47-47 in the final week leading up to the election.

00:25:57.100 Steve, we've closed the gap here.

00:25:58.700 Just two weeks ago, there was another poll that showed the gap had shifted to 45-47.

00:26:05.400 This is a tightening race, and it's all because voters are finding out the truth.

00:26:10.000 They're finding out that they've been lied to, that Andy Beshear is no moderate Democrat.

00:26:15.200 He is as radical as they come.

00:26:17.420 He's someone that has vetoed a bill that would keep men out of women's sports.

00:26:21.680 He vetoed a sex change ban for minors.

00:26:24.620 You can't be a moderate, Steve, and veto legislation like this.

00:26:28.240 This is the moderate position.

00:26:32.060 Your thinking through this race was brilliant. 1.00

00:26:35.140 You came to me and said, hey, look, everybody, the way the media plays this,

00:26:38.240 both local and national, is that this guy is your next-door neighbor.

00:26:41.740 You want to have a barbecue with him.

00:26:43.080 He's a moderate.

00:26:43.880 He's a suburban dad.

00:26:45.680 He's actually as radical as any governor, any Democratic governor in the United States,

00:26:51.760 and you guys are going to make spots to prove it.

00:26:54.140 I take it that strategy looks like it's working?

00:26:57.780 It's working so far, Steve, but I don't want to put the cart ahead of the horse

00:27:02.760 and start celebrating just yet.

00:27:04.280 It's going to come down to the wire, but that wire and what that is is that's 350,000

00:27:10.180 Donald Trump voters that show up in the presidential years but don't show up in the odd years.

00:27:16.100 And so we're spending, in the final week of this campaign, we're spending $750,000

00:27:20.480 making sure that all of those Trump voters know that Donald Trump has endorsed Daniel Cameron

00:27:26.360 and that Daniel Cameron is the only candidate that's going to stand up for their children

00:27:29.660 and for parental rights in this state.

00:27:33.760 How are you running?

00:27:34.880 By the way, I want you to just stay through the break because I've got a couple more questions.

00:27:37.960 How are you guys doing turnout?

00:27:39.640 It's all about the turnout model now.

00:27:41.520 So how are you guys working that?

00:27:43.960 We actually have – we're doing digital advertising, so we're hitting them on all the social media channels we can.

00:27:49.780 And we're doing – we're sending out over 5 million text messages this week.

00:27:54.800 But the real kicker is we're having a telephone town hall with Riley Gaines on Sunday night,

00:27:59.580 and anyone can join that, but we're going to make sure people know.

00:28:04.520 We are going to stream that.

00:28:05.820 I'm glad you gave us the information.

00:28:07.060 Grace and Mo will be on that.

00:28:08.560 Short commercial break.

00:28:09.320 We're going to come back with Terry Schilling.

00:28:10.520 We've got Ben Burquam at the border on the invasion of this nation,

00:28:13.500 the number one priority besides cutting spending.

00:28:18.000 Also, Darren Beattie on the FBI.

00:28:20.840 Next.

00:30:01.800 That the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration, 1.00

00:30:07.680 the likes of which we haven't seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago.

00:30:13.820 In just the past few weeks,

00:30:16.720 multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West.

00:30:23.940 Al-Qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the United States in the last five years.

00:30:29.660 ISIS urged its followers to target Jewish communities in the United States and Europe.

00:30:38.100 Hezbollah has publicly expressed its support for Hamas and threatened to attack U.S. interests in the Middle East.

00:30:45.900 And we've seen an increase in attacks on U.S. military bases overseas carried out by militia groups backed by Iran.

00:30:54.260 Here in the United States, our most immediate concern is that violent extremists, individuals or small groups,

00:31:02.080 will draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives.

00:31:09.900 That includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization,

00:31:17.020 but also domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish or Muslim communities. 0.68

00:31:24.120 Okay.

00:31:26.080 I want you to remember this because we're going to go through, we're going to go through Schilling in Kentucky.

00:31:32.840 We're going to talk to Ben, I think, down at the border.

00:31:35.380 And Darren Beattie's going to come into, but this all ties together.

00:31:37.800 However, this regime that's in power and the permanent regime, as represented by Chris Wright,

00:31:46.400 you just had Mike Callen here talking about how the investigations from the Republicans never get to the heart of it.

00:31:52.580 And that's why you have this administrative state, the deep state, and they're buried in, and they're not going to budge.

00:31:56.480 But with everything that's going on in the world, and particularly the fact that it is now evident on a fight that I've been a part of,

00:32:05.080 I don't know, for 15 years, 10 or 15 years, and have been criticized and demonized as an Islamophobe, of which I'm not.

00:32:12.460 But front and center is Islamic Sharia supremacists. 0.88

00:32:19.640 Sharia supremacists.

00:32:21.040 Right now in Israel, I think that the head of Hezbollah, the Shiite, what they call party of God,

00:32:31.380 is about to declare war on Israel on the northern border.

00:32:35.020 Even the Israelis, and particularly Netanyahu, played this down for years.

00:32:38.720 They kind of looked at Hamas as a secular organization.

00:32:42.740 This fight in the Middle East is about Sharia supremacists. 0.86

00:32:47.460 Here in the United States, which we've allowed invasion of the border, we have all these sides.

00:32:52.160 We have no earthly idea what's going on.

00:32:54.020 And the inspector general tells us that.

00:32:56.720 Right now, what Chris Ray just said right there, violent extremists is you.

00:33:03.200 Their number one target is still Trump voters.

00:33:06.760 And why is their number one target?

00:33:08.460 Why do they send out this chilling message, violent extremists, violent extremists?

00:33:12.360 Well, you're going to see.

00:33:13.480 What did Terry Schilling just say?

00:33:14.840 Terry Schilling just said, gave you the key that picks the lock.

00:33:19.240 The 350,000 Trump supporters that vote for Trump in Kentucky that can change the direction of politics in this country by showing up on Tuesday

00:33:30.600 and throwing Brashear out, who's one of these – the new democratic model is to put these kind of schmendricks up there that look like average Joe's next door at the barbecue, 0.64

00:33:42.020 and they're really radicals, particularly radicals on transgender ideology and this radical grooming philosophy of the democratic regime.

00:33:51.080 Also, at the border, you're going to see Ben Bergman is going to be with some guys this week that are trying to protect the border and alert people to the invasion that's coming

00:34:01.960 and actually assist the Overwhelmed Border Patrol in identifying, you know what they are?

00:34:06.700 They're violent extremists.

00:34:08.560 And then Darren Beattie is going to get into it, one we should be focused on.

00:34:11.100 They just said right there in the question and answer with Rick Scott that, oh, no, we're not really tracking, you know, the terrorist groups here.

00:34:18.140 We're tracking violent extremists.

00:34:19.820 When you hear violent extremists, they mean Trump voter.

00:34:23.840 Once again, before we leave you, Terry Schilling, turnout is everything.

00:34:30.360 Those 350,000 Trump supporters, if you turn out and understand to get President Trump back in the White House

00:34:38.260 and, as importantly, to empower him in his second term, we need some tough-nosed Republican governors in these states,

00:34:46.560 and we certainly need one in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

00:34:51.160 So once again, what are people to do, Terry?

00:34:54.740 We've got to get the word out.

00:34:56.280 I mean, Steve, you've got so many listeners in Kentucky right now.

00:35:00.340 They all need to put this on their calendar, put 100 reminders on your phone if you need to.

00:35:05.660 You have to show up and vote in this election.

00:35:08.940 That's the only way we lose.

00:35:10.520 The only way we lose is if all the Republicans in the state stay home.

00:35:15.080 If we just get half of those Trump supporters that show up in the presidential years but not the odd years to show up,

00:35:21.480 we win, and we win by a huge margin.

00:35:23.840 Right?

00:35:24.300 This last election, Steve, this is where you and I really started to build a friendship was in 2019 when we first ran these sports ads against Bashir,

00:35:32.100 and he lied and said he wouldn't do anything to hurt girls' sports.

00:35:35.300 Steve, this is the revenge.

00:35:37.200 This is the exposure.

00:35:38.520 He lied to the voters and vetoed this legislation.

00:35:41.740 We have to make him pay a political price for it, especially going into 24.

00:35:46.020 Once again, how did they get to the American Principles Project?

00:35:51.160 How did they find out more about your work?

00:35:53.080 Look, if you want to see these ads, we have another one up online, and you want to support us, go to lyingandy.com.

00:35:59.920 It's just lyingandy.com.

00:36:02.500 Check out the ads we have and give us some support.

00:36:04.800 It's all going to come down to the wire.

00:36:06.220 We need to turn out every single vote.

00:36:07.620 Every text message costs five and a half cents, Steve.

00:36:10.240 You can help remind people to vote for five and a half cents, and so you give us $5.50.

00:36:15.580 That's 100 voter contacts.

00:36:17.780 It's an incredible tool.

00:36:21.560 Thanks, Terry.

00:36:22.480 Thanks for the fight you're doing and particularly the focus.

00:36:25.680 The key is what he focused on, and it turned out it worked, but we've got to push it over the top.

00:36:30.560 Thanks, brother.

00:36:31.080 Let me go to Darren next.

00:36:32.720 I'm going to go to Ben.

00:36:33.600 So, Darren, and you have to admire this.

00:36:40.140 I do kind of admire it.

00:36:42.380 It's like Trump saying Hezbollah is smart. 1.00

00:36:44.000 Hezbollah is smart.

00:36:44.780 Oh, no, Nikki Haley. 0.97

00:36:45.680 No, they're evil.

00:36:46.460 I got that they're evil.

00:36:47.480 I got that part, but they're also smart.

00:36:50.160 That's what they've been able to accomplish so much, and they've accomplished a lot because they're tough and smart, and that's why they're a mortal threat to the state of Israel. 0.97

00:36:58.280 Ray and these guys are relentless.

00:36:59.680 Here we are, brother.

00:37:01.980 We've got the greatest anti-Semitism.

00:37:03.740 A Jewish kid can't walk across a campus of any Ivy League school or UCLA. 0.99

00:37:07.760 If you're – try it out. 0.61

00:37:09.240 Go down to UCLA.

00:37:10.200 Go to Westwood.

00:37:11.320 And, you know, Westwood is that beautiful community, and I want Catholics to do it.

00:37:15.000 Put a yarmulke on.

00:37:15.860 Put a yarmulke on and walk across a UCLA campus.

00:37:19.020 Tell me what that experience is like.

00:37:21.940 You've got all this going on, and Biden's coming out with, oh, we have to have a major emphasis on Islamophobia.

00:37:30.460 Islamophobia.

00:37:30.940 And you've got the FBI director's number one focus, brother, is violent extremists.

00:37:38.120 They haven't got enough.

00:37:40.200 They haven't rung enough out of January 6th yet.

00:37:42.600 Your thoughts and observations.

00:37:44.160 Well, it's a remarkable and interesting statement to read in full, and I reread it carefully before coming on the program.

00:37:54.780 And it's important to situate within the context of the development of the national security state.

00:38:01.160 Remember that the entire national security apparatus, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, a lot of the capabilities that the deep state has emerged as a result of the supposed threat of Islamic terror in the aftermath of 9-11.

00:38:22.420 And that was the pretext for all of this stuff to develop.

00:38:26.200 And then when it seemed like that threat had dissipated or it could no longer be effectively drummed up in people's consciousness because a lot of the kind of ISIS attacks started to dwindle.

00:38:38.960 There was a peak in like 2015, 2016 in Europe, and then it started to dwindle.

00:38:45.400 And the national security state saw, OK, well, the biggest threat is now coming from these Trump people.

00:38:51.420 And to keep our budgets running, we need to really lean into that because we can't sell the Islamofascist Islamic threat narrative anymore as effectively.

00:39:03.920 So now what you have with this Hamas attack and the situation escalating in the Middle East and that politics boiling up into the domestic environment here, now you have a kind of embarrassment of riches from the standpoint of the national security state.

00:39:23.440 Because not only do they have violent extremism, which means any American who, for instance, would oppose mass immigration of Palestinian refugees into the country.

00:39:34.440 We did a whole separate piece on that on this woman who was Michelle Obama's chief of staff who would be in charge of resettling these people. 0.94

00:39:43.020 So if you oppose the refugees, you're a domestic extremist.

00:39:46.360 But also if you can be interpreted as, you know, supporting, you know, Palestinian cause or that, you can also be a domestic extremist by the old rules of the Patriot Act and sort of the old time classics of using the national security state against the Islamic threat.

00:40:05.300 So now they have both sides to take care of.

00:40:07.760 So I think the national security community is actually an enormous beneficiary of this.

00:40:13.620 And just as a kind of foreign policy footnote to Christopher Wray's remarks, it really is rich that he was emphasizing ISIS repeatedly and the threat of ISIS because his pals in government, Hillary Clinton herself, and this was substantiated in WikiLeaks emails, ISIS was on the side of the United States geopolitically.

00:40:36.860 The whole thing that was going on in 2015 with the Syrian civil war was the U.S. effectively promoting the, quote unquote, Sunni rebels in Syria to oust Assad.

00:40:50.580 And so now they're conflating the whole issue as though, you know, ISIS is equivalent to everything else.

00:40:56.300 So it's really just it's its own kind of slop.

00:41:01.600 But the take home point, I think, is the national security community will have a field day because not only do they have the MAGA people to go after, not only do they have the heightened threat of say, oh, any MAGA person who opposes, you know, refugee resettlement is Islamophobic and all of that.

00:41:20.640 But then they also have the old George W. Bush Patriot Act era grift of going after, you know, Islamic extremism in the domestic environment.

00:41:34.960 So that's my basic read of the situation and in particular, Christopher Wray's speech.

00:41:40.700 We just had Mike, and by the way, it was testimony.

00:41:47.320 We just had Mike Howell on here from Heritage about the fecklessness of the oversight and never any follow through, never any punch.

00:41:58.240 How can we be living in the resurgence of President Trump?

00:42:03.040 They sent, you know, Mar-a-Lago, they thought they had, you know, sent him away forever, exiled him.

00:42:07.360 It's like Napoleon at what it in on the was it's Helena, right? 0.64

00:42:13.320 They they had exiled him the but he came back bigger and stronger than ever.

00:42:19.380 We took the house.

00:42:20.120 How can we be sitting here and allowing the FBI to say that and not have, you know, nine investigations coming today, cut their funding off zero?

00:42:31.040 Why why are we in a process of allowing them to target Trump voters?

00:42:36.480 This is this is voter intimidation.

00:42:39.500 This is this is voter suppression.

00:42:41.560 They're trying to chill Trump supporters because they understand we could deliver an overwhelming landslide victory, sir.

00:42:50.120 Well, yeah, absolutely.

00:42:51.820 I mean, this is the story of basically the past, you know, at least five, six, seven years is the transformation of the entire security apparatus of the legal apparatus as a political weapon to go after the domestic political enemies of the regime, which principally are Trump supporters, not limited to Trump supporters.

00:43:14.580 But that general, but that general cultural, sociological, political community, this is the number one threat.

00:43:21.880 And as far as my understanding goes, it's still the case that the official position of the Department of Homeland Security is that the number one threat to American national security is so-called white supremacist terror.

00:43:39.080 And so it's it's quite amazing.

00:43:40.620 And just one last point about race testimony, because in all the talk, I tell you what, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:43:47.000 We only got a few seconds.

00:43:47.960 I'm going to hold you over.

00:43:48.660 I got to get more in depth.

00:43:50.260 Plus Ukraine, plus this targeting by drones in in Gaza.

00:43:55.260 A lot to go through with Darren Beatty from Revolver.

00:43:57.780 One of the best sites out there.

00:43:59.100 Short break.

00:43:59.580 Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?

00:44:12.340 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.

00:44:23.440 It's prominent all over the country.

00:44:25.440 Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.

00:44:30.400 Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.

00:44:34.860 Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models. 1.00

00:44:39.800 And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer. 0.98

00:44:47.900 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.

00:44:53.500 With Public Square, we now have a solution.

00:44:56.920 It's simple.

00:46:00.340 That's PublicSQ.com.

00:46:03.540 PublicSQ.com.

00:46:05.020 Public Square is founded on the fundamental principle that all people should have the freedom to live, to worship, and to be, without fear of violence or persecution.

00:46:18.720 Every person has the right to live safe from violence, hate, and bigotry.

00:46:23.320 And for those reasons and so many more, President Joe Biden and I have a duty, not only to keep the people of our nation safe, but to condemn unequivocally and forcefully all forms of hate.

00:46:39.280 Since we took office, President Biden and I have fought to uphold that duty.

00:46:43.780 Over the past decade, America has seen a rise in attacks on houses of worship.

00:46:49.100 So in response, we expanded funding to protect houses of worship from violence.

00:46:54.480 After a surge in hate during the pandemic, in particular, anti-Asian hate.

00:47:01.620 She's, man, I don't even know how to describe that.

00:47:06.240 Anyway, their big push last night was Islamophobia.

00:47:09.680 Also, at the same time, a columnist over at Salon makes the case that the biggest threat to America is not the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas,

00:47:24.080 or a greater threat than the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas Sharia supremacism, is MAGA and Christian nationalism.

00:47:35.360 I told you they would go there, and they went, and MSNBC last night had a field day with it. 0.96

00:47:41.540 You're the problem.

00:47:42.560 MAGA and Christian nationalism is the number one, the number one national security threat. 0.94

00:47:47.700 Salon, one of the most prominent magazines in the progressive ecosystem.

00:47:55.060 Darren Beattie, your thoughts on that?

00:47:58.340 MAGA and Christian nationalism, and this is a prominent, this is the former Playboy guy.

00:48:02.220 This is a guy who was a White House correspondent, wrote this huge piece, and I got lit up by some influences, but that's kind of irrelevant.

00:48:09.180 Conservative influences, doesn't matter. 0.76

00:48:10.700 He put the piece out.

00:48:11.680 MAGA and Christian nationalism is a greater threat than the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas. 0.94

00:48:17.600 And you had, and last night, Kamala, their big thing is Islamophobia, and that's going to come right to the domestic extremists.

00:48:24.560 You said that the number of attacks dropped in 16 and 17.

00:48:29.520 That's because Donald Trump took action.

00:48:31.180 He sealed the border, and we put the travel ban in, and we did many other things, and we had to fight the apparatus the entire time.

00:48:39.020 They didn't want to do any of it.

00:48:40.380 In fact, I keep telling you, when I tried to get, with President Trump's concurrence, the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist organization, got nowhere, zero, because it's so infiltrated in the entire apparatus. 0.87

00:48:53.240 Darren Beattie.

00:48:53.700 Well, absolutely.

00:48:55.740 You know, one real educational experience for me, before I was in politics, I was still a graduate student at Duke at the time, and I had the opportunity to have lunch with General Michael Hayden and a couple of other people.

00:49:13.400 And I suggested to him, might the most effective way to address the threat of Islamic terror, which was kind of still part of the conversation at that point, that didn't involve war and didn't involve enhancing the national security state's capabilities?

00:49:33.460 Because, remember, he was in charge of the NSA when all that stuff was going on.

00:49:37.540 Wouldn't a third alternative simply be to restrict immigration flow from nations with a history of problems with Islamic terror? 0.92

00:49:48.080 And he laughed in my face as the and didn't even answer.

00:49:52.340 His answer was laughing in my face.

00:49:55.000 And that was so instructive is to say that there are three.

00:49:59.100 Oh, stop, stop, stop.

00:50:00.580 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:50:01.560 Stop.

00:50:02.680 You presented that exactly like you presented it.

00:50:05.460 And he laughed in your face.

00:50:06.960 It was not polemical.

00:50:08.020 Like I was I was the, you know, polite scholar type.

00:50:11.720 And that's the tone and context in which I presented it.

00:50:16.420 And it wasn't like a large group.

00:50:18.500 So he could just kind of laugh and look at someone else.

00:50:21.040 It was maybe five or six people.

00:50:23.800 And his answer was simply to laugh in my face and not address the issue at all.

00:50:29.620 And the point was, you know, and that struck me as so remarkable from someone who's such a senior position in the military, in the intelligence community.

00:50:39.620 If there are three options of dealing with the threat of Islamic terror, one is keep putting, you know, keep stuffing steroids in the Patriot Act, effectively. 0.99

00:50:51.780 Number two is another Iraq war. 0.82

00:50:55.040 And number three is restricting immigration flows.

00:50:58.080 It seemed from a national security perspective, from an ethical perspective, from a perspective of limiting curtailments to freedom, all of that.

00:51:08.720 The immigration approach is by far the most reasonable and effective.

00:51:12.620 But the mere suggestion that that should be tapped into at all, as opposed to the wars and enhancement of the national security capabilities, was quite literally ludicrous, ludicrous in the literal sense of the term.

00:51:27.940 And that was, you know, a first bit of real education I got as to how the swamp and how the deep state component of the swamp operates and thinks. 0.99

00:51:39.380 And, of course, he's turned out to be even more of a scumbag than he was back then. 0.98

00:51:46.500 Real quickly, because, and I'll tee this up, I've got to figure out maybe tomorrow. 0.98

00:51:50.900 But Hal was on here talking about, you know, the Ukraine bill is coming up.

00:51:54.700 It's another $60, $80 billion.

00:51:56.120 We've got the lead general saying, hey, the thing's a stalemate.

00:51:58.740 I'm not going to lie anymore.

00:52:01.200 You've been, this Ukraine situation, you're the first one to call it, you and Rahim, on the color revolution that took place there that didn't come here.

00:52:08.400 How can we best, how would you recommend this audience think about this Ukraine as they come forward and ask for another $60, $80 billion, sir?

00:52:17.960 Well, it's just an endless cash cow to the corrupt oligarchs running Ukraine and the corrupt oligarchs running the American regime and the defense industry.

00:52:30.740 That's all it is, is it's a wealth transfer from the beleaguered American taxpayer to the corrupt oligarchs of America and the corrupt oligarchs of Ukraine. 0.56

00:52:45.360 None of it goes to the people of Ukraine, virtually none.

00:52:50.100 So it's, you know, it's an endless grift.

00:52:54.340 It's an endless grift of the national security state.

00:52:57.000 And what's particularly unfortunate about the defense industry grift is, you know, it would be better from a humanitarian perspective and from a security perspective, probably, to say, okay, can we just theoretically tally up how much money Raytheon would make for whatever war they're pushing for, whatever intervention?

00:53:21.480 Can we just tally up, can we get, can we get maybe, you know, EY or, you know, one of the big four accounting firms, tally up how much luck he would make and just give them the money and not do the war?

00:53:35.120 Or no, give us a, give us a 20% discount and we'll pay you.

00:53:39.080 Darren, how do people get to you?

00:53:40.540 So how do they get to your everything?

00:53:44.600 Website?

00:53:44.880 Revolver.news, there's a white hot interview on the origins of wokeness as an emergent phenomenon of civil rights law.

00:53:53.740 It is white hot.
