this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:10.320
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:16.920
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:20.680
in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do
00:00:24.060
people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these
00:00:31.760
people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to
00:00:39.320
save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:47.220
so i will not vote for any aid until we secure our own border reform asylum reform reform parole
00:01:00.120
is possible to do democrats don't want to do it all republicans want to do it i'm not helping
00:01:05.140
ukraine until we up ourselves free or die free or die now you are free yes and we will be and the
00:01:12.260
russians are dying it's the best money we've ever spent thank you so much no it's a handful of
00:01:19.460
republicans have dangerously tried to link ukraine aid and make our support for democracy in the west
00:01:26.480
a pivotal issue that history will remember us for conditional on passing hard right border policies
00:02:03.620
welcome to the war room it's natalie winters hosting filling in for stephen k bannon today
00:02:24.620
december 4th in the year of our lord 2023 now i know steve is usually pretty good at assembling
00:02:31.440
some cold opens now i always like a good juxtaposition and i have to say i think what i
00:02:36.980
put together there is pretty good usually we play clips of lindsey graham here in the war room to
00:02:41.900
frankly i would say mock ridicule and shame him into taking the america first position on issues which
00:02:47.820
seems to be foreign to him uh every now and then he goes on fox like he did this morning and he
00:02:53.340
basically parroted the talking points we've been saying here in the war room in other words
00:02:57.140
no more aid to ukraine until we fix the border it was juxtaposed with that other clip where he said
00:03:02.460
and i quote aid to ukraine is the best money we've ever spent that was just six months ago so i'd ask
00:03:09.180
you lindsey graham what happened to that money i don't even think you could actually calculate the
00:03:14.060
roi on all the money we've sent to ukraine because that would imply we actually know where that money's
00:03:18.280
gone and how much of it is actually gone to the people it's been intended to go to though i guess
00:03:22.720
we've never really outlined what exactly that money is supposed to be supporting except just
00:03:28.360
defending democracy whatever that euphemism means and then there's a nice juxtaposition of senator
00:03:34.400
schumer calling the border policies like the ones we've outlined in hr2 as far right uh border
00:03:40.580
approaches to immigration it's absolutely ridiculous that was the clip filmed i believe just today reports
00:03:46.880
coming in that dozens if not hundreds of illegal immigrants from you guessed it china probably
00:03:52.700
chinese communist party uh have breached the u.s southern border but hey i guess that's just
00:03:57.960
another day under the biden regime luckily we have congressman keith self who is always trying to fight
00:04:05.840
back as much as he can uh joining us here in the war room you guys know i am out of studio so he is
00:04:10.920
bringing in the good background the war room background he's making the show look a lot more
00:04:15.660
professional so i thank you for that but congressman self i know the war room policy does not want to give
00:04:20.580
one penny more to ukraine um i'd love if you could sort of drill down feel free to get as granular as
00:04:26.940
you want on the appropriations process as to where we stand on that front both in terms of a timeline
00:04:32.580
scheduling with the new speaker but you know i know the white house is pressuring you guys for more
00:04:37.440
aid now there was some media reporting on that today but where do we stand uh well frankly we have
00:04:43.900
to solve our own appropriations process first we've got two crs now uh a lot of the the appropriations
00:04:50.640
bills uh expire in january several in february uh and frankly we need to settle that before we start
00:04:58.100
talking about any supplementals uh of course we've got the israel supplemental in the senate they've chosen
00:05:04.100
not to act on that at all and they're pushing us for additional supplemental for ukraine when we've
00:05:10.040
not even uh settled our own appropriate appropriations process and frankly uh we've got to get border
00:05:17.060
enforcement you're focused on the border i don't want more money i don't want more policy for the
00:05:22.980
border i want to change the behavior of a lawless president how do we do that that is the discussion
00:05:29.780
you're exactly right we don't need to give more money to the very same agencies operating down on the
00:05:36.220
border to basically help them become you know the welcome guard to these hordes of illegal immigrants
00:05:40.580
these invaders that are coming in but i'm just curious because we hear a lot of talk obviously
00:05:45.600
the media on this show we have a lot of your colleagues on talking about how important it is
00:05:49.920
to say impeach someone like myorkas meanwhile the house seems to be more focused and concerned with
00:05:54.920
removing george santos i would argue we should focus on removing people like myorkas and frankly
00:06:00.380
impeaching joe biden but you know appropriations aside i'm just curious in terms of moving the
00:06:06.440
needle on anything on that front do you see any appetite to really you know from the appropriation
00:06:13.380
side of things stop just what is the endless money train to whether it's dhs to myorkas is there
00:06:21.400
any meaningful efforts going on to impeach him or to get some real accountability particularly on
00:06:26.780
that front where do we stand well you know we had a vote to impeach myorkas and frankly republicans
00:06:34.260
voted it down it did not pass that was an effort to impeach myorkas i think the real accountability
00:06:41.640
is against the biden crime family uh the three committee chairs ways and means oversight judiciary
00:06:49.720
briefed the conference recently and they have really hard solid evidence we're talking about tax
00:06:56.620
records bank records uh the real hard evidence if you don't consider eight million people coming
00:07:02.580
across the border hard evidence but the hard evidence in bank records and tax records is is
00:07:08.740
flowing out uh so i think we're going to see the impeachment inquiry move forward with a vote in the
00:07:15.800
house against president biden and what do you think the time frame is on terms of moving forward
00:07:23.460
on impeachment well the the vote in the house i expect to happen soon because even the speaker
00:07:30.620
has said he has the votes for the for a formal impeachment inquiry without that formal vote the
00:07:37.400
white house is telling us they don't have to respond to subpoenas congressional subpoenas so we need that
00:07:43.560
vote we need to take a vote we need to formalize the impeachment inquiry and once that happens uh then
00:07:50.220
you're going to see hunter biden deposed you're going to see other people deposed which will move
00:07:55.080
it even faster because we've got to make the case to the american people that there's hard evidence
00:08:00.320
uh in this case so i think that is the next thing you will see fairly soon a formal vote on the
00:08:07.480
impeachment inquiry the full house you know a lot of people like to say that when republicans like to go
00:08:13.720
after hunter biden they say well he's not in charge he's not in the oval office that has no
00:08:17.940
ramifications on the policies that president joe biden is putting out but i'm sure i along with
00:08:22.900
you would beg to differ because when you see so many of the policies uh that or rather the companies
00:08:27.680
and business endeavors that hunter biden really pursued they had to do with green energy they had
00:08:32.760
to do with automobiles they had to deal with a lot of countries that i think joe biden's approach to in
00:08:38.500
terms of policy making i think compromise is too nice a term to describe it right there's conflicts of
00:08:44.180
interest whether it's ukraine whether it's china i would say two of the countries that he's failed
00:08:48.680
most miserably on um but in terms of making the case to the american people about why impeachment
00:08:53.280
matters do you think a lot of the messaging is going to focus on that that rather it's not just
00:08:58.920
that joe biden you know took money as unethical and immoral though i would say par for the course
00:09:04.060
with most people you're self-excluded in washington dc um but do you think that your colleagues are
00:09:10.040
prepared to make the argument that there still are current present day ramifications uh to the
00:09:15.340
policies that the biden regime is putting out as a result of hunter biden's business dealings
00:09:20.220
oh my goodness absolutely the case can be made to today uh we could make the case today that hunter
00:09:27.540
biden is an unregistered foreign agent that case is easily made but that doesn't get us to impeachment
00:09:34.100
of joe biden uh so the 20 20 million dollars that flowed to the biden family the 20 plus shell
00:09:42.360
companies that they used very aggressively to launder this money loans that have no interest rate no
00:09:49.680
repayment schedule no documents uh these are all this these are all evidences of uh of the biden crime
00:09:57.620
family activity you know steve always like this this this is so important this is so important
00:10:06.640
because we're now in the third obama term and frankly we cannot afford a fourth obama term i don't know
00:10:14.380
that we can survive a fourth obama term so we need to make this happen so that we have a clear choice
00:10:21.240
in return president trump to the white house because we have got to squelch this fourth obama
00:10:29.400
term that we're looking down the barrel of you know the saying goes that weakness invites aggression
00:10:35.840
and when you take a step back you look at the world stage steve always says the world is on fire i
00:10:40.800
think that's an apt uh assessment of what we're seeing going on here whether it's what we started
00:10:45.100
our conversation with talking about ukraine you can go all the way to israel to now what's going on in
00:10:50.460
the red sea to what's going on at the border it sort of seems like there's all these maybe you call
00:10:54.960
them coincidences you know we don't say there are any conspiracies here in the war room but you know
00:10:59.800
you see all these sort of events aligning and frankly i think the only victor uh conclusively
00:11:05.480
across all these issues it seems to be our greatest adversary the chinese communist party
00:11:10.300
right they're sort of on the upside of america getting drawn into more forever wars and having a
00:11:15.120
porous open border from a national security uh perspective i'm just curious when you sort of
00:11:20.340
take a step back uh what do you think and if i'm not mistaken i think you actually were just part of
00:11:26.700
a code to taiwan a few months ago saying how serious they were about defending themselves from the you
00:11:32.600
know ever increasing threat of the ccp but when you take a step back and you look at the global
00:11:37.440
kind of situation going on um i know we like to say that weakness invites aggression but when it comes
00:11:43.140
to the biden regime do you think there's something more nefarious going on in other words i think
00:11:48.000
weakness is maybe too kind of a way to describe it i think in some ways it's an intentional weakness
00:11:52.680
right it's sort of this perennial debate is it incompetence or intentionality and your estimation
00:11:58.240
from the evidence you've seen you know and of course this dovetails with a potential impeachment inquiry
00:12:03.500
but do you what do you think is really driving some of these just abysmal policy failures from
00:12:08.580
the biden regime is it just sort of like you said the continuation of what is really the obama
00:12:13.720
legacy to i would argue destroy america from the inside out or do you think they're just incompetent
00:12:19.300
is it a mix of both well i think they actually have policies that uh help to work to destroy america
00:12:27.320
let's take the firing of the ukraine prosecutor uh biden himself said its own record president biden
00:12:35.440
himself said i withheld one billion dollars now that's official action i withheld one billion dollars
00:12:42.540
i threatened to withhold one billion dollars if they did not fire slotkin the ukrainian prosecutor
00:12:49.180
and they did so that is an a direct action by the president to use the power of the united states loan
00:12:57.020
guarantees to force to force the firing of a prosecutor that was going after corruption we know
00:13:04.620
that the prosecutor before him and the prosecutor after him are involved and yet he was the one that was
00:13:11.280
fired he was fired he was fired on president biden withholding one billion dollars from ukraine
00:13:16.920
so that is an action that we know he stood in the way of investigation of corruption in the ukraine
00:13:24.280
government but let's go back to the world situation that you mentioned there is now an evil axis china
00:13:31.080
russia and iran a lot of what you're seeing you see are coordinated activities by the axis of evil
00:13:39.780
uh certainly iran controls hezbollah the houthis uh hamas of course they fund hamas
00:13:47.420
uh when you look at ukraine russia is is there on the front lines but china is supporting russia
00:13:53.780
behind the scenes with quite a bit uh so this is this is a coordinated effort and it all stems
00:14:00.340
in my mind from the absolutely weak withdrawal the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan you saw russia
00:14:08.500
start to move troops toward the ukrainian border within months of that disaster in afghanistan and
00:14:14.500
you're exactly right weakness uh emboldens aggression and frankly uh to take down america
00:14:21.980
you're going to have to you're going to have to use the weakness of the biden administration
00:14:27.140
in all of these areas around the world and congressman self if people want to follow you go to your

00:16:37.940
to give the people over at birch gold a call to talk about all things not just gold but your personal
00:16:43.520
finances how the biden regime especially as we approach the 2024 election all the free handouts
00:16:49.440
they're going to try to give to people to try to bribe them into voting for them it's not going to end
00:16:54.840
well for probably anyone uh let alone maga americans because as you know they don't care about you they
00:17:00.800
think you're deplorable so you got to go to birchgold.com slash bannon to get the latest installment of the
00:17:05.780
end of the dollar empire for those of you watching on video you can obviously tell that i am
00:17:09.760
out of the studio and i'm still learning how to deal with the california sunlight uh because
00:17:15.780
apparently it is messing up the shot but i digress i guess golden sunlight birch gold there's some some
00:17:21.600
tie there i could have probably done a better segue there but in the meantime we have someone whose
00:17:26.080
lighting situation i think looks a lot better than mine that is dr bradley thayer who has been writing
00:17:31.560
some wonderful commentary for the war room.org website lately if you haven't i've been reading it
00:17:36.340
you've got to make sure you go to war room.org and go to the newsroom tab to get some of his
00:17:39.900
brilliant analysis on really all things china all things globalism all things i would say deep state
00:17:46.620
that's the latest piece he has up today from abby gate to jericho wall the gross negligence
00:17:51.460
of western militaries now dr thayer i'd love if you could walk us through the piece but i have one
00:17:56.300
specific question for you you used to i'm a very analytical person and i think your use of the phrase
00:18:02.420
gross negligence is interesting because i would probably say that i think there's more i would
00:18:08.780
say calculated and more of a calculated aspect and intentionality behind a lot of the you know
00:18:15.260
misgivings and misdeeds of american and western military i think in kind of the eternal debate of
00:18:22.020
intentional versus incompetence right when you see these policy blunders happen whether it's afghanistan
00:18:27.100
or israel i lead more towards the intentional side of things sort of what i was talking about with
00:18:31.560
representative self so i'd love if you could walk through the piece and sort of just explore that
00:18:36.660
angle in particular because i'm curious about your analysis or assessment of that well sure it's a my
00:18:43.220
pleasure to join you uh uh this afternoon natalie uh i'm pleased the the central argument of the piece
00:18:50.340
is to uh explain why uh western militaries the u.s military and the israeli defense forces uh in
00:18:57.840
particular uh face major problems and those uh problems in their performance is really evidenced by
00:19:05.500
our withdrawal from afghanistan and the attack at uh abbey gate um and then subsequently the
00:19:13.380
grievous mistake of uh killing the um afghan aid worker and and nine other afghans in a you know case of
00:19:20.900
a horrible case of mistaken identity and then the fact that the idf was surprised uh purportedly uh
00:19:28.060
the october 7th uh attacks and the argument i make is that uh the military is moving away from
00:19:35.300
professionalism both the idf to some degree but also the u.s military is moving away from one of the
00:19:42.800
key aspects of its great success in the cold war which was a professional military a military that
00:19:50.820
policed itself uh that ensured that um it was a meritocracy uh and that ensured that it was going
00:19:59.320
to be able to deal with under civilian leadership it was going to be able to deal with america's threats
00:20:05.240
the soviet union of course or communist china or vietnam or other uh uh issues that we faced of course
00:20:13.060
in the cold war that has been eroding and under the biden administration it really has become a torrent
00:20:19.040
uh under general milley um u.s army general mark milley uh who recently has left uh the position of
00:20:27.220
chairman of the uh joint chiefs of staff um he was responsible as the senior military advisor
00:20:34.960
to biden to provide the best military advice possible he said he conveyed that to biden biden
00:20:42.180
then rejected it and it was his responsibility to resign then and not to go along with what became
00:20:49.900
a debacle and a symptom of uh negligence uh and that negligence comes from the lack of the military to
00:20:57.780
police itself when civilians are going down the wrong way it's the responsibility of military officers
00:21:04.560
uh to resign because of course they're very greatly constrained in what they're able to say while
00:21:10.840
they're wearing uh the uniform so there's a rot in the u.s military uh and it has to be corrected
00:21:18.780
uh and it's going to be corrected certainly by proper civilian leadership but also by um the professionalism
00:21:26.920
and the the warrior ethos of uh the military uh itself all of that is is necessary similarly you
00:21:34.760
see that in the intelligence community as well that wasn't the principal point of the piece but you see
00:21:40.100
the fact that it has become politicized and the u.s military as well as of course our intelligence
00:21:46.140
community are alighting into uh becoming politicized forces uh and with the u.s military of course
00:21:54.720
uh that's egregious at so many levels uh it's not their tradition it's not what's necessary for
00:22:00.960
american security and it's a danger to uh the republic it's an existential danger to the republic
00:22:07.280
so officers have to police themselves uh and that really is um the fundamental point of the piece
00:22:14.540
it's interesting i think you started you sort of beat me to it i wanted to extrapolate your
00:22:20.640
your piece really to the broader federal government sort of i think my biggest takeaway from general
00:22:25.960
milley's exit interview on 60 minutes if people remember the dumpster fire uh that was that
00:22:30.640
interview we played the clips here uh in the war room but my takeaway as with i think similar to
00:22:36.000
anthony fauci to the people like alexander vindman a lot of these impeachment witnesses
00:22:40.000
is that america really is run to some extent to a high degree by these unelected bureaucrat types right
00:22:45.900
and i think that mechanism for which we can hold these people accountable is very difficult to find
00:22:51.540
and have it play out and i think you have these people whether you want to call them deep state
00:22:56.180
actors that might be too cutesy a term but they they really can go rogue because there's not a
00:23:01.340
mechanism to really hold them to account right or keep them i would say beholden to the will of
00:23:06.440
the people so you see them actively subverting the agenda of president donald j trump you know i think
00:23:11.880
fauci admitted to that general milley admitted to that so i'm just curious from from your perspective
00:23:16.920
and i know the piece doesn't necessarily get into this but how do you go about how do you begin
00:23:22.280
rectifying that you know how do you in your opinion i'd be curious to hear your thoughts
00:23:26.460
what kind of dismantling the deep state or really going after some of these kind of i would say
00:23:33.020
hollowed out areas where they seem sort of untouchable right the millies the fauci's of the world
00:23:37.540
how do you start to start to sort of reverse the power that they've accumulated over time
00:23:42.840
i agree it's a very it's a significant problem and it has to be corrected uh i i think it depends
00:23:50.360
there's the civilian world of course and then the world of the military and the military is treated
00:23:54.740
differently of course in our civil military relations we recognize historically that the
00:23:59.680
military is its own domain it needs to be its own domain uh to train professionals in the use of
00:24:06.800
violence which is what uh largely the united states military uh has been uh and remains
00:24:12.920
so if we're looking at the military it's extremely important that the military remembers uh the fact
00:24:20.020
that they are professionals as samuel huntington uh observed in his classic book the soldier and the
00:24:27.060
state the military is a profession it has certain responsibilities uh and uh it needs to
00:24:35.200
recognize its proper role military officers need to recognize their proper role and that is that they
00:24:42.180
are not there as political actors uh they are not there um to have a political role or to participate in
00:24:48.900
political debates but they're there to serve the national security interests of the united states
00:24:53.980
and to devote all of their energies uh to that uh profession we've seen that eroded of course with
00:25:01.300
uh dei we've seen that eroded with so many other efforts of the obama administration that have been
00:25:07.500
accelerated by the biden administration to really create a politicized military and that's very
00:25:14.220
dangerous because that's taking us into the territory of the red army of the soviet red army or of
00:25:20.020
the people's liberation army uh in the people's republic of china uh and that is a military which is not
00:25:27.500
going to be combat effective right that's a military that is going to be extremely dangerous for our
00:25:34.220
domestic politics but also because it's not able to be military militarily effective uh when the united
00:25:41.140
states needs to use it you're going to have replications at much greater scale and in much greater
00:25:47.600
gauge of abbey gates of the failures uh that we've witnessed of the u.s military and allied militaries like
00:25:55.700
the idf so it's a very significant problem on the civilian side i think it's also very important for
00:26:02.580
those civilians to recognize of course the traditions of the civil service and that is that they should
00:26:08.940
not be there's the hatch act of course they should not be political actors and they should not have that
00:26:15.680
role that's violated grossly of course as we've seen and so it has to be policed and how is that going to
00:26:23.500
be policed well it has to be policed by the civil service to extent but also congress of course has
00:26:30.160
to take a larger role uh in doing that i recognize that's an imperfect solution uh and a partial solution
00:26:37.540
only uh but i think that that will uh instill the right values and again to return to a professional
00:26:43.980
ethos that our civil service uh had of course in our history dr fair i wish i could keep you longer but
00:26:52.680
i gotta let you go so real quick not only let the audience know where they can find you where they
00:26:56.760
can get all these articles you're writing but you can give us show us a little ankle as steve would
00:27:01.040
say on the piece you got dropping tomorrow well tomorrow we'll be looking at uh the support that the
00:27:08.120
people's republic of china has been giving russia uh in the attacking u.s nato allies uh and um uh the
00:27:16.380
efforts of a chinese vessel in particular uh to cut a very important natural gas line uh and
00:27:23.700
telecommission telecommunication cables uh between estonia and finland and estonia and sweden so it's a
00:27:30.960
very dangerous event and it shows how closely twinned how closely allied moscow uh and beijing uh are
00:27:38.760
uh and it's a very considerable threat to us natalie thank you very much of course thank you so much
00:27:45.480

00:29:57.720
welcome back to the war room i was just talking with not our next guest but our next next guest
00:30:09.780
mike davis uh before we came back to the show we were trying to figure out the name of a certain
00:30:16.040
individual who was engaged in one of these lawfare attacks against president trump and there were so
00:30:21.280
many contenders i didn't know who he was even talking about which i feel like is a real testament
00:30:26.200
to the times we're living in uh speaking of the times we're living in you guys know affirmative action
00:30:31.840
diversity equity and inclusion die for short uh had become of course the new law of the land
00:30:38.280
unfortunately for most of us um and someone who has always been on the forefront of that issue that
00:30:44.300
threat dare i call it a threat uh is of course dr darren j beady of revolver.news fame you have a new
00:30:51.880
piece harvard's shocking admission affirmative action and critical race theory killed south africa
00:30:58.180
i'd love if you could walk the audience through that piece and your analysis
00:31:02.880
indeed well this all falls within a broader context of study that we've been engaging in
00:31:11.060
revolver about the collapse of our ability to maintain complex systems um our major study more
00:31:21.300
recently about the collapse of the aviation industry and the incompetence prevalent in the air traffic
00:31:28.520
controller community is just one part of that larger story of america's sort of systemic collapse
00:31:37.620
and i think south africa is really an important story to study because it marks sort of the accelerated
00:31:46.840
version that already happened of what it looks like when a society that was once first world thriving
00:31:55.060
technological collapses in a very short period of time and this is interesting this piece that we did
00:32:04.400
it's covering a study that harvard did that begrudgingly acknowledges that the manifest failure of
00:32:12.200
south africa as a society more broadly um largely owes to its aggressive dei policies although they call it
00:32:22.280
something different there but it all amounts to basically aggressive and pervasive affirmative action
00:32:29.460
policies that have destroyed every critical piece of infrastructure in that country um which is pretty
00:32:37.120
astonishing and life expectancy has plummeted and it's gotten to the point where they're unable to even
00:32:44.220
keep the lights on in a very literal sense that they're just enduring blackouts all the time
00:32:50.700
um the power company uh instituted a policy of actively encouraging white people to leave which they did
00:32:59.380
and then in a reasonable amount of time we got constant blackouts and that is basically the state of south
00:33:07.120
africa now and if you think that this can only happen in south africa you got to think again because
00:33:13.600
there's recently a piece in the wall street journal about the electric grid infrastructure calamity
00:33:20.740
um uh facing the northeast part of the country we almost got to a stage of rolling blackouts in the
00:33:27.720
northeast and during blackouts just a couple of years ago there was a similar situation in texas
00:33:33.440
um where there were constant blackouts there was a black swan weather event and our electric
00:33:40.600
infrastructure was not able to keep up now both the conventional story about the texas grid and the
00:33:49.060
recent wall street journal story about the um electric grid in the northeast the primary culprits in those
00:33:57.620
stories are you know green energy and so forth and this is not to be discounted it's true um you know
00:34:05.860
i'm sure you know gas companies are you know probably funded part of you know whatever article
00:34:11.980
appeared in the wall street journal this is not to say it's not true but that's sort of the kinder
00:34:17.800
and gentler explanation that elides a deeper problem of competence and that's what we've been
00:34:24.740
focusing on at revolver in our studies of how infrastructure has collapsed is that we've moved
00:34:30.940
moved toward a system of merit to a system of promoting diversity above all else and you know
00:34:37.540
it's one thing to have it in sort of more superficial optics oriented positions like we've all seen
00:34:44.840
commercials and definitely there's no lack of diversity there and that's fine but once we get to
00:34:53.320
maintaining critical infrastructure we get to the stage where we're threatening
00:34:59.960
major catastrophic aviation events we're threatening blackouts in in the country and this is what
00:35:08.740
you know these are critical metrics of what it means to be in a first world society and i think
00:35:14.640
that you know so much has happened in politics one major thematic development that i think revolver
00:35:21.980
and myself have been at the forefront of pushing into the public conversation is the political
00:35:28.660
weaponization national security state now i think that's pretty much in the public conversation most
00:35:34.540
everybody is talking about that now i think the next major story is the collapse of basic
00:35:41.560
infrastructure in the united states and this is part of that story and i think everybody needs to go read
00:35:47.740
it and share it with everybody they know i've only got a few minutes before i have to let you go but i have
00:35:53.820
a very rudimentary not not a rhetorical question but just sort of a basic question i'm curious to get
00:35:58.980
your thoughts on the people who are doing this mass rollout of you know dei of affirmative action of
00:36:05.520
equity whatever you want to euphemistically call it do you think that they know that these people are
00:36:11.960
incompetent and that the ramifications of pushing these policies is like you said crumbling infrastructure
00:36:17.720
you know you can mask it as green energy but there there are some very dark life costing society
00:36:24.040
collapse inducing side effects to pushing these policies to throwing meritocracy to the wayside
00:36:29.660
do you think the people who are who are pushing for this do you think they consciously know that and
00:36:34.880
they're okay with it or do you think to their core they actually believe that diversity equity
00:36:39.600
and inclusion you know really is the way forward and should be america's new motto
00:36:44.460
you know that's a great and actually very complicated question because it really boils
00:36:50.700
down to the question of who the they is because there are a lot of people in the sort of midwit
00:36:58.620
sort of master's degree in education sort of professional class who fully drink the kool-aid
00:37:05.920
and of course there's every incentive to drink the kool-aid and so in a way now we get to
00:37:11.180
sort of questions of moral psychology and political psychology because you know as human beings we're
00:37:18.520
very adaptable and in many ways we're very good at lying to ourselves but telling ourselves and
00:37:25.020
convincing ourselves of the lies that are beneficial to believe it's an adaptive advantage to be so
00:37:31.460
delusional that you believe dei works on an individual level because then you won't get cancelled for
00:37:37.320
saying the wrong thing you won't be beleaguered with cognitive dissonance and you can thrive within
00:37:44.020
your sort of narrow professional environment but of course at a system level it is not advantageous to
00:37:52.260
be that delusional um but i actually think that interestingly enough this piece that we covered on
00:37:59.260
the on the harvard study indicates that at least at some level there is an awareness because this harvard
00:38:04.320
study is a study that studies south africa's collapse and begrudgingly and in an obfuscatory way but
00:38:12.340
they do acknowledge these problems come from south africa's dei policies now i think this is a kind of
00:38:19.960
limited exceptional case because south africa was once hailed as like the exemplar of what a diverse
00:38:29.000
kind of multicultural democracy should look like and it just looks really bad for it to be an utter
00:38:34.800
you know waste hole to use the the more polite version that it's that it's become and so i think
00:38:42.080
while i'm hosting the war room it's always you you push the envelope i think they want to try to salvage
00:38:49.320
the reputation a bit by giving them you know a dose of difficult medicine so again the question of
00:38:55.480
whether you know people know it's complicated depends on the day a lot of people are fully brainwashed
00:39:01.020
but i think there there is still a layer that's sophisticated enough to understand and you know
00:39:07.900
there's various explanations i think there's some people who get it think well um accelerated progress
00:39:15.200
in technology will make up for the competence crisis that comes from diversity like chat gpt and ai
00:39:22.720
will ultimately for instance take over the air traffic controller function so it won't be an issue
00:39:28.180
so there's a lot of sort of nuance when you get to sort of the imaginative person who understands what's
00:39:35.700
going on how could they still support it um but in this case yes harvard researchers did acknowledge
00:39:42.940
dei was a critical component of south africa's failure and you kind of wonder would they be willing
00:39:49.120
to admit that in our case but uh that remains to be seen bill ackman by the way had a very good
00:39:55.960
follow-up letter to harvard that called it out for its dei policies that's worth taking a look at in
00:40:02.980
this context well i think every single one of my guests for this show is a very privileged straight
00:40:09.940
white male so there is no dei that taints my decisions and deciding who to come on this show
00:40:16.080
so darren jv in the meantime if people want to follow you stay up to date with everything dropping
00:40:20.700
on revolver.news where can they go to do all of that yes revolver.news revolver.news always we have
00:40:29.100
a provocative piece about a tucker trump ticket or a trump tucker tickets i'm curious what the war room
00:40:36.420
posse thinks about that it's a guest piece so it's not a revolver editorial position um so go to
00:40:42.860
revolver.news read that i'm at twitter x at darren jvd and we are bright white hot always
00:40:51.140
on getter at revolver news darren thanks so much for joining us thank you natalie
00:40:58.000
our next uh should we call him a diversity hire in the war room we got mike davis who always brings
00:41:06.500
the heat when it comes to talking about congress and frankly their inaction i know we got some new
00:41:12.540
evidence some so-called new evidence today about how joe biden received direct payments from hunter
00:41:18.020
biden's llc uh wasco uh the same entity that was receiving money from the chinese communist party and
00:41:24.640
i believe is currently under investigation for tax fraud and a host of other crimes but i guess that's
00:41:29.780
par for the course with the biden family but mike davis i'll definitely hold you through the break
00:41:33.420
uh but your reactions to this latest drop of evidence well it just shows that biden has been
00:41:40.080
lying all along about his son's corrupt foreign uh foreign bribes and other corruption with china
00:41:48.280
and ukraine and russia and kazakhstan and every other trouble spot around the world joe biden knew
00:41:53.720
exactly what was going on and he personally benefited from it now i'm curious because it seems like
00:42:01.360
you know we're i would say tough critics but valid critics of representative cover here
00:42:06.960
in the war room because there seems to be some lag time between what the war room posse what we know
00:42:12.340
about what the biden family did uh and sort of congress's ability to act on it right the evidence
00:42:17.600
that we're seeing come forward today yes there's subpoenaed bank records but it's part of a broader
00:42:21.580
narrative that i think we've been talking about for a while so i'm just curious you know when do you
00:42:27.480
think we're actually going to see any action on this as opposed to just you know tweet threads and
00:42:32.980
videos and fox news appearances or do you think we're being or i'm being too harsh of a judge or a
00:42:38.840
critic in this case i think that house oversight chairman james comer has been doing a fantastic
00:42:45.480
job he teamed up with my former boss senator chuck grassley the king of congressional oversight and
00:42:52.960
it's like luke skywalker and obi-wan kenobi they've been working together to uncover this corruption
00:42:58.700
with biden and his family and this takes look hunter biden set up 20 shell companies and they've been
00:43:04.660
able to uncover like 20 million dollars 24 million dollars in foreign corruption foreign payments to the
00:43:11.560
bidens between 2015 and 2019 they're going to keep going they're going to keep finding these bank records
00:43:18.780
these bank records don't lie and it's when republicans house republicans start feeling the
00:43:24.820
heat about opening an impeachment inquiry and moving forward with impeachment that's when that's when
00:43:30.540
things are going to happen right now they don't have the votes because house republicans too many of
00:43:35.320
them are cowards but certainly not james comer who's been the all-star oversight leader on all of this
00:43:41.480
mike davis stay with us through the break if you can i have a couple more questions to ask you we also got
00:43:47.960
mike lindell be one and only joining us after so savior we'll be right back there's a lot to be
00:43:54.340
nervous about out there open social media or turn on the news and all you see is crime and societal
00:44:00.120
decay a lot of people just run out and buy a gun and then it sits in a safe there's ever an emergency
00:44:06.640
they're not going to be prepared and run the risk of hurting themselves or others there's no way around
00:44:14.020

marxist agendas of joe biden or whoever is running the show over at 1600 pennsylvania avenue now speaking
00:46:03.280
of inaction coming from the white house there's been really nothing going on uh in terms of them
00:46:09.320
trying to i was going to say defend jewish americans from just evil attacks and insults uh by hamas
00:46:17.640
supporting terrorists that reside within here in the united states i know mike davis you've been on the
00:46:22.980
show to talk about why we need to deport hamas sympathizers but it seems like the biden white
00:46:27.460
house is not doing anything um when it comes to whether it's federal civil rights laws or anti-terrorism
00:46:32.440
laws uh to really go after people here in the united states who sympathize with a known terrorist
00:46:37.400
organization hamas you had some fiery tweets on that i'd love if you could for just about two minutes
00:46:41.980
walk us through all that before i let you go yeah the biden justice department is putting in prison
00:46:48.620
christians who are praying outside of abortion clinics they are sending the fbi to harass parents
00:46:56.580
who are outraged by gender chaos and the resulting high school rapes and bathrooms they're they're
00:47:03.640
sending the fbi to go after catholics for being too catholic like down in richmond virginia but they're
00:47:09.860
giving amnesty to these hamas supporters all over america who are threatening and actually committing
00:47:16.780
violence against jewish americans we saw an elderly jewish man in california who was killed by a hamas
00:47:23.780
supporter jewish students on college campuses are being harassed and threatened on a daily basis they
00:47:31.660
are they are these mobs of hamas supporters are going after jewish businesses and and chanting from the
00:47:38.820
river to the sea which is calling for the genocide of you know eight million nine million jews who live
00:47:45.340
in israel this is not acceptable in this country and the biden justice department has all the tools
00:47:51.720
they need to actually do something about this the civil rights division led by kristin clark a hamas
00:47:58.520
sympathizer apparently is not doing a damn thing about this and when i when trump is back in office when
00:48:05.120
when we have the trump 47 administration the trump 47 justice department needs to start prosecuting
00:48:12.000
these hamas supporters they need to start deporting these hamas supporters they need to start
00:48:16.740
denaturalizing these hamas supporters it is not acceptable what they're doing and and there's no
00:48:22.640
way in hell the biden justice department would let this happen to muslims to black people and they
00:48:29.260
shouldn't so why are they allowing this to happen to jewish americans and catholics and people who have
00:48:35.460
traditional views in this country no amnesty for hamas supporters no amnesty for illegals no amnesty
00:48:42.800
for hunter biden and no amnesty for anthony fauci that sounds like a pretty good policy plank to run
