Trump's victory on November 4th, 2020 was not only a miracle, it was an act of divine providence and divine intervention. It was divine intervention and divine divine intervention that allowed Donald Trump to become the next president of the United States of America.
00:00:28.800I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.700Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.440If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.800War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
00:00:51.560Okay, welcome back. It's Saturday, 25 November in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:00:56.640One of the points I want to make for the conclusion of the speech about providential and providential times.
00:01:03.440You know, I said in there, 44 years ago, right now we were, you know, my Navy destroyer, which I was an officer on.
00:01:14.420I think a lieutenant J.G. at the time, I don't think I made lieutenant, was we were heading towards the Persian Gulf in the North Arabian Sea, having been redirected out of Pearl to for the hostage crisis.
00:01:28.440And think about how long we've been involved in the Middle East, right?
00:01:32.840My brother was involved with the, as a Navy pilot, he was a helicopter pilot, was involved in the entire Qaddafi situation.
00:01:40.260I've had nephews that have deployed and one who was a first class petty officer in the Navy, I think did four or five deployments all to the Middle East.
00:01:47.820Moe was in Iraq with the 101st after she got out of West Point.
00:01:53.300So, I don't know, for 40 years, the Bannons, and we were all, hey, we were, you know, junior officers or senior enlisted in the military, just people doing their service.
00:02:03.440But when we look at Trump and being providential and honestly being providential for you, because you're being called back now, as Trump was called back like Cincinnati's to save his country, you're being called too to save the country.
00:02:20.920That's why the assault's on you all the time.
00:02:22.660That's where you're being called fascist all the time.
00:02:24.400That's where you're being called dangerous all the time.
00:02:31.520We put an end to that by electoral victory and then doing the hard work afterwards.
00:02:36.880The hard work afterwards, starting in January 2025, after, you know, from now until Election Day, just a brutally tough election of making sure the narrative's out there, making sure the message's out there, making sure we get out the vote, everybody's ready to get out the vote, then stopping the steal so they can't steal it again.
00:02:53.680And you already get the inclination, because remember, they only won it by, I don't know, 50,000 votes in a couple of states, just like we had won it before.
00:03:27.760But for those of you that are not sunshine patriots and are dedicated to your task and purpose of saving your country, as hard a work as we have for the next year to win and to close on the win, to win and both close on the win, then the real work starts afterwards.
00:04:56.500700 years in prison to liquidate your company.
00:05:01.380To have now fights all over the country about not just trying to throw the electors, which is totally legal, to have these alternative electors, to put them in jail.
00:05:11.320You know, some near the age of over retirement.
00:05:14.340People in their 70s put them in jail for 20 years up in Michigan and other places.
00:05:20.200To make sure you don't even have a choice.
00:05:21.580There's so much for democracy to take your choice away.
00:05:24.340And all that takes money and resources and particularly the opportunity cost to focus on it.
00:05:29.940But you should be honored to live in this time because this is the greatest crisis the American Republic has ever faced.
00:05:38.020We've never been invaded by anywhere near 10 million illegal alien foreign invaders that have to be removed.
00:05:48.880We've never had a financial crisis anywhere near this.
00:05:51.400This is going to make the Great Depression look like a picnic because the balance sheet of the country is so far gone and the elites just continue to print money.
00:06:00.180That's one of the reasons we're so proud and honored to have Birch Gold be our partner here and help sponsor the show.
00:06:06.540But more importantly, to get to everybody, the feedback we get from people is tremendous.
00:06:10.820To have access to people, they actually walk you through the simple why gold's been a hedge against turbulent times for mankind for 5,000 years.
00:06:18.220That's why go birchgold.com slash ban and now just go get all the information.
00:06:23.840They'll sit there and they'll sit there and help explain to them.
00:06:26.180Plus, we've done this series on currency.
00:06:37.860The grand scheme of things is not huge, but to start, the Saudis taking the currency risk of not using petrodollars, taking currency risk by using Chinese currency to do a big trade with them.
00:06:48.400As the Persians are already doing in a 40-year output deal.
00:06:53.240So it's incumbent upon you to understand this.
00:07:18.320He talked about other – and I think Milley, between his book, his public pronouncements, and this CBS 60 Minutes interview, basically hoist himself in his own petard, as the saying goes.
00:07:29.160Mo, just give your assessment of the military as – with Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
00:07:37.420Just give me a minute or two of your thoughts.
00:07:39.520I know you have very strong opinions about this before we start the – before we start to break down the interview.
00:07:44.640Well, as we saw under Milley, you saw senior leaders, senior officers, junior officers get out at a rapid pace.
00:07:55.900That's why recruitment numbers are so low, why they can't get younger generations in the military right now.
00:08:03.580And that has a lot to do with, I believe, General Milley.
00:08:09.840He needs to take accountability for that.
00:08:11.580But they're at record number lows for recruitment, and they can't seem to get anyone to join that they've now gotten rid of requirements for enlistment.
00:08:22.540You know, it shows the leadership within the military, and that is General Milley.
00:10:00.880General Mark Milley completed a four-year term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation's highest-ranking military officer, on September 30th.
00:10:11.400He told us he spent most of his time working to avoid a direct conflict with Russia and China, while the country watched him have a very public falling out with former President Trump, the man who picked him for the job.
00:10:24.680General Milley's time serving President Joe Biden had its own challenges, including America's calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan, as well as providing Ukraine with billions of dollars' worth of American military equipment.
00:10:38.600A few hours before we sat down with the general at the Pentagon, he'd had his final phone call with the commander of Ukraine's armed forces.
00:13:02.740There's no Pentagon comms people between this, not the White Houses between this.
00:13:07.820And he sits right there and slow but steady.
00:13:11.560And this is not what they were telling.
00:13:13.240This is not what they were telling their consultants and advisors back in the spring and summer of, what was it, 2021, when this war was in the first couple of hundred days.
00:13:53.900The thing ground to a halt, this is why Zelensky's having these huge mutinies, having a mutiny by his armed forces, because the military over there, they don't want to be the fall guy.
00:14:03.680When all this gets exposed, they don't want to be the fall guy that, oh, we were pushing this.
00:14:08.240Zelensky and the thugocracy, they're the beneficiaries of the $113 billion, and thank God that CBS actually put the right number up there, which Fox and nobody else does.
00:14:53.380I 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.
00:15:11.040While lawmakers are high-fiving, your savings account continues to lose value because more spending weakens the dollar.
00:15:18.440Now, end the cycle, diversify into gold with the help of Birch Gold Group.
00:15:23.820And 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.
00:16:23.800There's only enough left to last a few more months.
00:16:26.560With all of the issues facing Americans at home, why is this worth it?
00:16:32.060If Ukraine loses and Putin wins, I think you would be certainly increasing, if not doubling, your defense budget in the years ahead, and you will increase the probability of a great power war in the next 10 to 15 years.
00:16:42.680I think it would be a very dangerous situation if Putin's allowed to win.
00:16:45.420Ukraine-Russia obviously is what drives this meeting today.
00:17:23.600But the whole thing is to come across a North German plane through Poland.
00:17:26.780I don't believe the Russian military has shown us that that's going to happen.
00:17:30.460And I don't think the Russian military or Putin or the Russian people have shown us that they have any inclination to be offensive in anywhere against NATO or in Europe.
00:18:00.560If you don't, you, the American people, if you don't fork up another $60, $80 billion that we have to borrow from the Chinese, or even now they won't lend it to us so we just have to print it,
00:18:34.120Now it's getting into the kinetic part.
00:18:35.560Huge story the other day in The Messenger that talks about the Chinese are going after to crush the Muslims in China as they underwrite the Persians, the Turks,
00:18:47.260and now with this currency deal starting with the Gulf monarchies.
00:18:53.840The Chinese Communist Party is at war with us now, a kinetic war with us now, fueling a global jihad against the West.
00:19:04.920And the Russian-speaking eastern border of Ukraine is not in the vital national security industry of the United States.
00:19:10.700He, above anybody, should know that he's the chief military advisor to first President Trump and then to Biden.
00:19:16.820And he sits there, if you lose in Ukraine, if you lose in Ukraine, you're going to double the defense budget.
00:22:52.680It's extremely frustrating, especially to those that served in Afghanistan.
00:22:58.400While I served in Iraq, I had many friends serve in Afghanistan.
00:23:01.640I lost fellow classmates, friends that were killed in action.
00:23:04.880I have classmates and friends that were wounded in action over in Afghanistan.
00:23:10.260And to hear him say that, how do you think they feel?
00:23:13.120All these people that went over there, deployment after deployment after deployment, like you said, have PTSD, that have to live with that the rest of their lives.
00:23:21.780And you point blank say, yes, it was worth it.
00:23:38.880Four years of peace and profit, three years until they're hit by the bioweapon of at least prosperity.
00:23:44.960And President Trump, I think, got us through as well as you could in the year 2020 when, you know, BLM and Antifa and everybody turned to summer love.
00:23:51.780Into a fiasco driven a lot by Esper and Milley, which we're going to get to in a minute in this interview.
00:23:57.920But to have him sit there and talk about a strategic failure, just kind of, oh, by the way, yeah, it was a strategic failure.
00:24:06.660And I was the point person for President Trump in 17 on getting us out of Afghanistan.
00:24:12.380As I've said before, DOD, and I hate to say this as much as I love the military and the Navy, the military, DOD, the national security state will look you straight in the eye and they will lie to you.
00:24:27.900When you actually ask about results, when you ask money spent and people, you make a big deal about this $6 trillion, they can't do an audit, which is shocking.
00:24:38.000How can you not find trillions of dollars, not millions or tens of millions or billions or hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars they can't do an audit.
00:24:46.960But you sit there and ask the most basic questions, the most basic questions about operation, about cost, about projections, about what's going to happen.
00:24:57.880It's either through gross incompetence or you or you just get outright lies.
00:25:05.300They've had they had so much time to plan for the Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:25:08.240Remember, we didn't get it done in 17.
00:25:10.680And the reason we didn't get it done in 17 is that they kind of pushed President Trump into a corner and lied to him, but it was also so we extended it, you know, evermore.
00:25:20.940And they swore every year, oh, it's only going to be five or ten billion dollars.
00:25:23.940It was like 40 or 50 billion dollars every year, just into a rat hole, just into a total rat hole driven by the defense industry and the greed of the defense industry.
00:25:33.240And then other people associated in the Pentagon and, quite frankly, this vast national security apparatus that surrounds Washington, D.C., I mean, physically surrounds it.
00:25:42.920If you ever go take the road from basically from D.C. out to Dulles Airport, that entire corridor going past Ruston, when you get past you get past Tyson's Corner, you go all the way out.
00:25:56.440That's all the defense contractors out there.
00:25:58.940It's obviously it's a trillion dollar industry every year.
00:26:02.340It's just exploded, but they can't answer with a straight face.
00:27:49.200And the Constitution has a chain of command that's quite structured about this, about who the military, who the uniformed military were to.
00:27:57.820We're going to get into that as we break down, I think, actually, the treason of General Milley.
00:28:04.180We're going to get to that after a short break.
00:28:19.200We're going to rejoice when there's no more.
00:28:34.120It was 11 Marines, one Navy corpsman, and one Army staff sergeant that were killed in that botched withdrawal out of Afghanistan.
00:28:49.540How did that make you feel when you saw that and heard about it that day?
00:28:53.700It honestly broke my heart and was extremely frustrating to see.
00:28:59.700Like, it angered me to no end because those 13 service members and the 28 that were wounded in that bombing at Abbey Gate, that should have never happened.
00:29:10.540Those parents should never have received that knock on the door, letting them know that they lost their children.
00:29:15.880And the fact that when they were brought back to the United States and that this dignified transfer that happened to Dover Army or Dover Air Force Base, that Joe Biden looked at his watch the entire time each service member was brought off in that transfer case.
00:29:35.640That is absolutely disgusting for a commander in chief to do.
00:29:39.060And the fact that Mark Milley has not taken any accountability for that botched withdrawal is also absolutely disgusting.
00:29:45.880One of the things we're trying to build here in the war room is help entrepreneurs build the alternative economy.
00:29:59.920If you're an entrepreneur, you can list your goods.
00:30:02.660If you're someone that signs up and you want to stop giving your money to people that hate you and start buying products and taking on services for people who support your values, it's the place to go.
00:31:03.480Their public estrangement started in the spring of 2020 when protests for racial justice, some violent, spread across the country, including to Washington, D.C.
00:31:39.280I realized that I stepped into a political minefield and I shouldn't have.
00:31:45.000He's talking about the day when President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the U.S. Army to put down the unrest on America's streets.
00:31:55.340On the evening of June 1st, after demonstrators near the White House were removed by force,
00:32:01.000Chairman Milley, dressed in battle fatigues, joined President Trump and members of his cabinet in a march across Lafayette Square to St. John's Church, where Mr. Trump posed for photographs.
00:32:16.380Ten days later, General Milley apologized in a speech to graduates of the National Defense University.
00:32:22.280My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.
00:32:30.320As a commissioned, uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I've learned from.
00:32:35.180It's rare for a chairman to apologize publicly.
00:32:37.840Well, you know, I grew up here in Boston.
00:32:39.760I'm Irish, Catholic, and my mother and father taught me that when you make a mistake, you admit it.
00:32:44.220You got a confession, you say ten Hail Marys and an old father.
00:32:46.640Everybody makes mistakes, and the key is how you deal with a mistake.
00:32:50.000After you apologized, former President Trump said you choked like a dog.
00:32:55.560Yeah, I'm not going to comment on anything the former president has said or not said.
00:32:59.740General Milley did tell us he was so disillusioned with the former president's actions, he nearly resigned.
00:33:06.460Instead, according to former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, he and the general made a pact to protect the military from becoming politicized or misused.
00:33:16.100It's also been reported that you spent several days, several drafts of resignation letters.
00:33:22.660I was very struck by the one that was published, in which you said to the president,
00:33:27.080It is my deeply held belief that you are ruining the international order, causing significant damage to our country overseas that was fought so hard by the greatest generation in 1945.
00:33:39.020That generation has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism.
00:33:44.960It's now obvious to me that you don't understand that world order.
00:33:50.620You don't think Donald Trump understood what World War II was fought over?
00:33:54.100I don't know what former President Trump understood about World War II or anything else.
00:34:02.920I can tell you that from 1914 to 1945, 150 million people or thereabouts were slaughtered in the conduct of Great Power War.
00:34:12.620In 1945, the United States took the initiative and drafted up a set of rules that govern the world to this day.
00:34:19.800Those rules are under stress internationally.
00:34:22.320President Putin is a direct frontal assault on those rules.
00:34:26.120China is trying to revise those rules to their own benefit.
00:34:29.380But that's one thing to say that China is threatening that world order and Russia is threatening that world order.
00:34:34.540To say that the commander in chief, Donald Trump, was ruining the international order and causing significant damage.
00:34:42.780What did you see that caused you to write that?
00:36:58.720And then I think during getting to it, you know, after January 6th, he was making phone calls, unauthorized phone calls, to the Chinese Communist Party, the PLA leader.
00:37:08.420To basically say, imply Trump's a madman, nothing is going to happen.
00:37:13.020The military is basically doing a coup.
00:37:15.000If the Commander-in-Chief orders something, we're not going to do it.
00:37:45.680Of which the Chinese Communist Party, they've used that to basically become a backwards agricultural backwater into a major industrial power based upon American capital and American technology.
00:37:56.960Right there, he lays out the whole thing.
00:37:58.640That even the interviewer for CBS is so shocked that he said it.
00:38:03.340He said, well, you've got a problem with Trump.
00:38:25.400You damned yourself with your own words right there, Millie.
00:38:28.880You damned yourself with your own words.
00:38:31.020And you are going to be held accountable right there, shows you his treason right there, shows you his plotting.
00:38:40.160President Trump came in and we had a meeting in the tank, I think, in the spring of 2017 that I helped arrange with others, with General Mattis, because we had to have a vetting of this central issue.
00:38:55.180So this wasn't hidden, but to Millie, President Trump said that post-war international rules-based order of which America, you know, you have trade deals and capital markets from Western Europe to the Gulf Emirates, around the Middle East, to around the South China Sea and up to Northwest Europe, around Korea and Japan.
00:39:35.660We're not looking for Europe to be a protectorate.
00:39:37.680When the people in Davos and the people in Brussels are living high in the hog and all the Europeans have full medical care and pensions and six weeks off in the summer that American workers don't have.
00:39:49.100Are you grinding yourself to death with no pension and no and no health care and no time off two weeks if you're lucky?
00:40:10.360And we had a five or six hour meeting in the Pentagon in the historic tank where they this this meeting room where they essentially ran World War Two out of.
00:40:24.800In fact, the opening statement in that meeting was was Mattis said the post-war international rules-based order is the greatest gift of the greatest generation.
00:40:40.220And we were quite blunt to tell them they were wrong and what we were going to do, starting with getting out of Afghanistan.
00:40:49.380And Milley and these guys plotted from the beginning to thwart Trump, to thwart Trump, to thwart Trump as the commander in chief.
00:40:59.760If you have a problem with his idea about what should come after and changes made so we're not an empire, we don't have all these protectors, particularly Europe, that can pay for their own defense.
00:41:13.080Then you should have stood up and said something to Trump.
00:41:16.360Did you ever have a discussion about that?
00:41:19.380Did you ever tender a letter of resignation then instead of plotting the entire time you were there and then stabbing the American people in the back and stabbing Trump in the back?
00:41:32.860No, Milley, you're going to be brought to justice on this.
00:43:59.080If you speak Chinese, if you don't mind, I'd like to get your names.
00:44:03.560And we'll see where life takes you guys.
00:44:05.680We, the United States, need to take the challenge, the military challenge of China extraordinarily seriously.
00:44:11.180How concerned are you that military-to-military communications are not happening right now with China?
00:44:18.600Yeah, I think we need to get that established.
00:44:20.760We had them for a period of time, and then they've dropped off.
00:44:23.580So channels of communication are important in order to de-escalate in time of crisis.
00:44:27.400General Milley says he held a total of five calls with his Chinese military counterparts during the Trump and Biden administrations.
00:44:36.120But it was his last two calls during the final months of the Trump presidency that got the attention of the press, Congress, and the former president himself.
00:44:45.800Why did you think it was so important to call your Chinese military counterpart in the aftermath of the January 6th attacks?
00:46:07.040You specifically talked to the Chinese communist party, the PLA, about your mindset and the mindset of the American military in that, in that trying time.
00:46:18.040And you did not run that by the commander in chief who you swore an oath of office to protect the constitution.
00:46:39.360Uh, your thoughts on General Milley before we punch out.
00:46:41.660Well, I found this quote by John Wooden.
00:46:45.940The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching.
00:46:50.120And clearly, like you just said, he didn't get authorization for these calls to his Chinese counterpart from the commander in chief.
00:46:58.480So that just shows the type of person General Milley really is, the fact that he is treasonous.
00:47:04.100He needs to be held accountable, like you said, not only for this, but for that botched withdrawal and for what has happened to the military under his command.
00:47:21.560I want to give him all the information about, uh, you know, from downloading Getter to, uh, the Bill Blaster to the, to downloading the podcast for free to getting on the email list.
