On today's show, host Stephen K. Bamb is joined by Frank Rennie, host of the show "The War Room" and editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller, to discuss the latest on the Trump administration, the 2020 election, and much, much more!
00:04:15.220I mean, here we had a tiny Navy, no real standing army, and we're sending a shot to the great powers of the world to say, hey, look, you're not coming here.
00:04:23.640They're not going to be in our backyard or, as Frank says, our front yard.
00:04:53.480These are bad actors, and they're looking to do bad stuff and grab resources.
00:04:57.880Frank, but specifically in letting you go, you have dedicated much of your life and really one of the leading experts in the nation on the threat of Sharia supremacism and radical jihad.
00:05:11.100When James Carville, who was a senior advisor to Clinton but has been a senior advisor and not just public intellectual but a senior advisor to the Democratic Party,
00:05:21.020when he sits there and we had a more thorough piece on this at the opening of the show,
00:05:26.280but when he sits there on Bill Maher last night and says that Christian nationalists basically saying evangelical Christians and traditional Catholics are more dangerous to the security of the United States of America than al-Qaeda.
00:05:46.420I mean, he's lying, obviously, but it's political warfare, and it's designed to discredit the Speaker of the House.
00:05:54.840It's designed to discredit, well, MAGA, but specifically engaging in a kind of soft, for the moment, perhaps, persecution of Christians.
00:06:07.860One of my spare time activities is a group we call Save the Persecuted Christians.
00:06:13.300There are over the number of Americans, men, women, and children, who are now being persecuted because they're Christians around the world.
00:06:23.800Some 360 million of them, heavily persecuted, no less.
00:06:39.780You know, Marxism, which at the end of the day is what his party is all about at the moment, is about dividing and conquering.
00:06:48.800And you asked us to just summarize kind of what are we up against.
00:06:52.080We have to understand that threat for what it is.
00:06:55.000You kindly published this book, The Indictment, that lays it out in detail with the help of our friends like John Mills and Sam Fattis,
00:07:06.200the Committee on the Present Danger, China's webinars, make it clear that it's not just what the Chinese are doing elsewhere around the world.
00:07:13.500It is what they're doing inside our country.
00:07:15.840And they're aided and abetted by friends like the unlamented Henry Kissinger and James Carville, for that matter.
00:07:23.400People who want to divide us, who want to exploit those divisions to take us down.
00:07:28.500And, you know, just to tie this all in, whether it's the labs that probably exist here in numbers and their biological warfare potential,
00:07:38.800whether it is the takedown of our military.
00:07:42.020And I have to say, I've never seen a pink U.S. Marine Corps hoodie before, but there's James Carville wearing one.
00:07:49.080So, I mean, if that doesn't tell you what's wrong with the United States Armed Forces, but it's part of the deal.
00:07:54.480We have a wonderful new sub-stack page that I want to drive people to.
00:07:58.420If you don't like the idea of having your only military, at very much the cusp probably of a shooting war somewhere in the world,
00:08:08.040probably here, being turned into this Marxist, made-over, fundamentally transformed, radical leftist operation,
00:08:18.280that won't be any good at fighting our wars, but it might be good to suppress us, the patriots, the Christian nationalists.
00:08:26.460Go to the sub-stack page of Save America's Military.
00:08:31.200And finally, Steve, just one other thing, because it's another line of attack that Americans like the MAGA posse can do something about right now.
00:08:40.500There's a growing awareness of it, and there's a growing resistance to it in pockets around the world.
00:08:46.120We need it here, and that is to stop the Chinese Communist Party's stealthy takedown of our country
00:08:53.300through this so-called global governance scheme with the World Health Organization at the pointy end of it.
00:09:00.920All of these are things that we can do something about.
00:09:03.600Our sub-stack page for the military gives you some instructions and an easy way to get in touch with your senators,
00:09:08.640telling them, don't promote any more general officers who want to take down our military by making it Marxist.
00:11:18.900It's madness, but it's madness with a really malevolent purpose.
00:11:23.940This is exactly what Sam's talking about is, I think, is going to be one of the core elements of President Trump's speech today at 4 o'clock,
00:11:34.860because President Trump and the people around him understand exactly what Sam's talking about,
00:11:40.300the hard edge of what they're talking about, this executive order they signed about AI,
00:11:44.920which is much deeper than that in this rhetoric you're seeing now all the time to ratchet up the rhetoric against Christians in this nation.
00:11:50.880Let's be blunt. That's what this is about.
00:11:52.520Sam, AND Magazine is amazing. It's a must-read.
00:11:56.600You're also doing so much in the patriot movement to sort out the election situation,
00:12:00.880the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which we've got to win in 2024.
00:12:04.180Where do people go to get everything they need to know about and from Sam Faddis?
00:12:11.480ANDmagazine.substack.com, which is primarily focused on national security but also has a lot of domestic political content.
00:12:18.960And then separately in reference to what you just said about our work, the work in Pennsylvania,
00:12:25.880pennsylvaniapatriotcoalition.com, grouping of over 100 patriot groups in the state of Pennsylvania fighting to save the republic.
00:12:36.020You know, he wrote one of the best books ever about the CIA.
00:12:41.480You know, I think about this, Sam, and, you know, maybe cashed a CIA because he's a young pup in your DNI.
00:12:48.020I see a big role for Sam Faddis in the second Trump term.
00:13:42.380We're going to pick up now where we left off yesterday.
00:13:44.960This development is too important to confine to a single program.
00:13:51.200Basically, just to recap, on Thursday evening, President Zelensky in his nightly address to the nation indicated a massive shock U-turn in Ukraine's policy with regards to the war.
00:14:05.760Just before we go to the break, I'll say what that is in a single sentence.
00:14:09.200Up until then, the focus had obviously been on the counteroffensive and pushing back, especially in the Donbass, against Russian gains, Russian territorial gains.
00:14:18.880That is now effectively dead, the counteroffensive.
00:14:22.780And instead, what Zelensky has ordered is fortifications in key strategic areas in three tiers, exactly as the Russians had done when they were bedding in their territorial gains.
00:16:14.000Up on Capitol Hill, they're not – and we'll drill down on this on Monday and Tuesday about the trillion dollars we're adding,
00:16:23.280the massive increase in interest expense, the refinancing of the debt, things we've talked about before.
00:16:29.220But the Senate is spending all the time not passing appropriations bills.
00:16:33.880They're going to have this big firefight on the NDAA because they want the woke and weaponized, which Tuberville's fighting, and we're fighting.
00:16:39.940You can't pass this defense authorization with all this in there.
00:16:42.520But they're spending their time, folks.
00:16:45.620They're obsessed with this, with an $850 billion defense authorization.
00:16:51.860And if you add it all up and where it's tucked in other agencies and groups and cabinet departments, it's a trillion dollar defense bill.
00:16:59.660They're up there obsessed with another $60 to $80 billion for the Ukrainians.
00:17:13.580Now, we're fighting that tooth and out.
00:17:14.800They're going to try to put some gimmicks of the border, and they're going to try to take away some authorization on how they've gamed the system.
00:17:21.560So they're holding your sovereignty hostage to get to this.
00:17:25.700But their maniacal focus in the Victoria Newlands of the world and those apparatchiks in the administrative and deep state pushing this makes no sense.
00:17:36.120Particularly, Harnwell, you've been on top of this.
00:17:37.940And I hate to say we called it from the first day, but we called it from the first day.
00:17:58.600They're going to be trying to take all kinds of – Larry Fink and these guys are already – Ackman are all sitting there.
00:18:03.700But how not to rebuild St. Louis and Detroit and the states in the south and put money into manufacturing and bring it all back here, secure a border.
00:18:32.360You've got all these clowns up there who all ought to be imprisoned for what they've done here.
00:18:36.640And we ought to find out each dollar they took from some consulting group that's getting money off the defense contractors to keep this going.
00:18:44.880There's 70,000 to 100,000 dead Ukrainian men, women, and children.
00:20:04.480Why would he be using, expending the limited resources, limited and diminishing resources that he has?
00:20:11.860And the first, the outer external tier of this three-line defense is going to be built by the Ukrainian armed forces.
00:20:18.720The second and third tiers will be built by outside contractors.
00:20:21.440Why would he be diverting his limited and declining resources to defending Kyiv?
00:20:28.680I think the answer is obvious, because that is where he's expecting to need to concentrate his limited military power.
00:20:40.420That is to say, he's now expecting Russia to rain down on Kyiv.
00:20:46.420Now, on that point, Steve, on the Russian point, another interesting development in the last 24 hours.
00:20:53.020Putin has ordered a 10% increase in military strength.
00:20:58.460This is technically, in absolute terms, 170,000 extra troops that he's now going to be calling up in 2024.
00:21:07.480Interestingly, Steve, I want to draw attention to one thing here, and that when the defense ministry,
00:21:14.200the Russian defense ministry announced this new executive order, it cited the special military operation,
00:21:22.940but specifically the expansion of NATO being the reason for the increase.
00:21:29.460Now, that is interesting, Steve, because up until now, the official Russian argument has been that the special military operation was to denazify Ukraine.
00:21:40.980And as you said right at the beginning, this was an argument honed for the domestic audience.
00:21:47.160The argument against NATO expansion really isn't for a domestic Russian audience.
00:21:53.060It's been an international audience, and I would like to suggest his potential interlocutors when it comes to sooner or later either surrender,
00:22:04.660a unilateral surrender on behalf of Ukraine, or more likely a negotiated ceasefire around the present territorial boundaries.
00:22:13.340I think this argument here about NATO, Putin is using that argument because he knows that is where the Western lines philosophically and morally is at its weakest,
00:22:24.220and where he will have greater purchase on his negotiating strength.
00:22:28.200So I just underline that shift now from the Russian defense ministry from denazification to opposing NATO expansion.
00:22:37.360Steve, if I can just pivot, I don't know if Denver has the other material that we're dealing here with in occupied mainland Europe.
00:22:51.440Let's just quickly use the article in, I think it was the Daily Telegraph that indicated France being on the brink,
00:23:01.740that's the headline, on the brink of civil war.
00:23:04.360There's further, you know, every day there's more and more, there's some footage from the great guys at Radio Genova as well as London.
00:23:15.280Steve, I want to draw this link here because this immigration issue from the Third World into Europe is, I would suggest,
00:23:23.320and I do very strongly believe this, this is the most important existential threat that we face in the Judeo-Christian West right now.
00:23:30.540The whole scale importation of people from the Third World with values and beliefs wholly hostile and irreconcilable with the values of the Judeo-Christian West.
00:23:41.960And when I say that is the primary existential threat, I think I mean to say it's more important than the debt,
00:23:47.780it's more important than the age, the increasing age of the workforce and the pensioners to workers ratio.
00:24:01.700Every other issue is secondary to this issue and to the immigration issue.
00:24:06.300Steve, the point here is what you can see taking place in Ukraine,
00:24:09.840what you can see taking place here in Europe, it's the same people who are organizing this.
00:24:17.020It's the same, it's the same, what do we call them, our sociopathic overlords.
00:30:21.060Go to JaceMedical.com right now and find out how they can help you get all your pharmaceutical and medical needs away from the Chinese Communist Party and before any type of incident happens here in the United States.
00:30:33.460Dr. Sean and the team are ahead of the curve.
00:30:36.380Anthony, my head's blown up from your footage.
00:30:40.360You've got other things to report there, but I just want to go back.
00:30:43.520700 last night, and people should know, this is one part of the border down in Lukeville, but it's all over the place.
00:30:48.940It's up and down from B-Ville and the Rio Grande Valley all the way through El Paso, Laredo, El Paso, Arizona, also California, and New Mexico.
00:31:01.620We're pressed for time, but just give me that story again last night of this just influx of folks from North Africa and Middle Eastern countries, sir.
00:31:27.740The House put out a report that it is a half a trillion dollars a year that's not really even calculated into the budget fully to house these people,
00:31:37.640to clothe these people, to give them spending money, cell phones, educate them, health care, all of it.
00:31:50.860So we've been able to document in the last couple of months down here from Lukeville, Arizona,
00:31:55.280there is an Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is a group that consists of 57 predominantly Muslim countries.
00:32:02.700I've been able to document at least 23 out of these 57 countries, which include Afghanistan, Chad, Egypt, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Libya,
00:34:24.060This reparations fund, because what they're saying to folks coming up, and this is part of the global compact on migration, these international organizations we cede our sovereignty to behind closed doors.
00:34:33.720They're saying, hey, this folks got to come up because there's climate change damage.
00:34:38.360The United States caused it, and you're just going to have to suck on it.
00:34:53.400Dave Walsh, walk me through the blatant in your grill hypocrisy about COP28.
00:34:59.180What is it, why is it important, and what do people need to know about it?
00:35:03.600Well, the Chinese aren't attending, but they've instigated it through their associated states, who they curiously import massive quantities of oil from numerous countries, Angola, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Venezuela, among them.
00:35:18.720That's going to change now more to Russia.
00:35:20.500But using those relationships based on their importation of completely necessary oil and gas into their country to fuel their massive industrial and military economy, they turn around then and force those nations to vote in favor of having forums like COP28 in Dubai, where they go and espouse an agenda of having the West pay reparations.
00:35:44.500Have the U.S., UAE, the European countries, and Japan now commit to $500 million in climate reparations for the economic damage caused in countries by CO2 emissions, supposedly.
00:36:00.260Now, at the same time, what's happened thus far in the meetings, in addition to the reparations being agreed, $500 million, a letter has been issued, supported and partly caused by U.S. Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts, who's attending COP28, a letter to have the U.S. and Western nations immediately ban any new natural gas infrastructure projects.
00:36:25.140Now, why would China be interested in curtailing new LNG projects in the United States?
00:36:31.420China had just been recently, as 2017 and 2018, the third and fourth largest importer of U.S. LNG.
00:36:39.920China, through Biden's wonderful cooperation on the Ukraine war effort, has congealed an alliance now between China and Russia.
00:36:47.360China has its natural gas shortage, which it's always had, doesn't have indigenous natural gas shortage issue is solved.
00:36:55.900Pipeline gas being built from Russia to pipelines, pipelines now in accordance with the Belt and Road Initiative built from Iran into China have been agreed.
00:37:04.620So China will now enjoy plenty of far cheaper, pipelines are the efficient way to ship any oil and gas chemical product in the world, $5 a decatherm less than LNG in cost.
00:37:17.860You don't have to liquefy it and deliquify it through a big refinery.
00:37:25.080So they don't need us anymore for LNG.
00:37:27.940Again, they were the third and fourth largest importer of U.S. LNG just three years ago.
00:37:32.160So without that need, they have their minion states through COP28 put out an agenda letter to have the Western nations cease, cease any further natural gas infrastructure shipment facilities because of needing to save the climate.
00:37:47.000They, the Chinese, who are building at the same time two additional coal-fired power plants per week as we speak.
00:38:08.440On the left and on CNBC and the business and FT, it's all they're covering because it's the way to change – it's the way – this is the Davos for energy.
00:38:22.060Well, it's got the imprimatur of the U.N. behind it.
00:38:25.240COP28 is a U.N.-organized climate change conference that's now held annually.
00:38:31.100Again, while China doesn't attend, states aligned with them vote in the U.N. to have COP28 funded, conducted, and they're very involved in what the agenda is because the agenda is about destabilizing the military and industrial power of the United States and Western Europe.
00:38:49.320That's what the agenda is, and it succeeds as the media here buys into that this is some kind of a legitimate forum.
00:38:56.940Today we had CNN broadcasting that, oh, there's still 50 billion metric tons of emissions occurring of greenhouse gases in the world.
00:39:08.980There are a trillion tons of emissions of CO2, for example, globally caused naturally 95 percent of it coming from evaporating water, coming from a decaying plant and animal life, coming from volcanic and geologic activity, is 95 percent of the CO2 emissions.
00:39:28.320Five percent rise from human activity.
00:39:31.080Those facts are left out of the 50 billion tons being a horrendous issue.
00:40:11.280The New England power pool, the New England states collectively, about 90 percent dependent on natural gas for, A, home heating and, B, electrification.
00:40:19.560In that they've shut down, under their pressure, the Pilgrim nuclear power plant, the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York.
00:40:27.140New England has become very, very dependent.
00:40:29.720Rhode Island specifically, 91 percent dependent on natural gas across New England, including Massachusetts, about 90 percent dependent for electricity and home heating.
00:40:39.500So much more than the rest of the United States, actually about two and a half times more dependent on natural gas than the rest of the U.S.
00:40:47.480While their government officials have taken consistent actions to choke off natural gas pipeline transmission into New England, therefore natural gas costs there three times more than the Henry Hub average of the rest of the U.S.
00:41:01.040And that's why you've got, of the ten highest electricity cost states in the country, all five New England states are in the top ten, led by Massachusetts, second, New Hampshire, third, Royal Island.
00:41:13.700That's two and a half times the electricity cost of the rest of the country.
00:41:18.640And their representatives are out there trying to get natural gas shut off in the United States.
00:41:22.260Okay, last thing, the rep, the rep, Ed Markey and John Kerry.
00:41:42.440And, man, we had some internal fights over that.
00:41:45.020The administrative state didn't want President Trump to do it.
00:41:47.300It was a terrible deal that basically had the American working man and woman underwriting the rise of the Chinese Communist Party in burning gas.
00:41:54.260Give me a minute on this reparations deal.
00:41:56.740Well, right after the letter issued to have us ban additional natural gas transmission by LNG, a vote was taken to support a $500 million reparation fund funded by the U.S., UAE, EU countries and Japan to facilitate the damage in the third world from climate change that arguably we have caused.
00:42:17.300So in the U.S., a piece of this will have to come before Congress.
00:42:21.200Heaven forbid that it happens inside some omnibus bill that we can't separately identify what this is.
00:42:27.680But the posse members have to get all over your senators and congressmen to void out any positive voting on any bill that contains any money to pay reparations, wealth transfer to the third world for arguable damage done to the global environment by U.S. emitted CO2, particularly while China emits more CO2 than all of the U.S. and OECD countries combined and are doubling down on that to further their military and industrial build.
00:43:27.140Make sure don't let the bad guys, particularly cyber criminals, combine with AI.
00:43:30.840Now, President Trump, I think, is going to have a thing or two to say about this executive order on artificial intelligence that Biden is now having the entire government revolve around.
00:43:39.800I think President Trump's going to mention about the danger of this and what he's going to do with that executive order.
00:43:50.720For war room veterans, you know, we have been all over the supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:44:03.480China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:44:08.360I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:44:12.160The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:47:11.580Whatever you guys are doing, you've kind of nailed the process, and I realize it's limited because the way you nurture the beef and process and make sure everything's fresh, everything's wholesome, it's organic, all that.
00:47:25.320The question I've got – we've got about a minute or so – is how do people get to this?
00:47:28.480People want to know, hey, where do I go, what do I look for, how do I order, all of that, particularly for the holidays coming up.
