00:00:30.000 By several administrations, it has been commonplace when there is an order like this given to see presidents talk about it on camera.
00:00:41.120 There is no plan for President Biden to address us on camera this evening.
00:00:45.140 And that might be because he needs to smooth things over with members of his own party first,
00:00:50.620 because just in the last hour or so, progressive members of Congress, including Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal and Mark Pocan,
00:00:58.080 are putting out the word publicly. They think these strikes were illegal.
00:01:02.260 They think they violated the Constitution because President Biden acted on his own.
00:01:07.220 He did not get permission from Congress first. Sean.
00:01:12.200 Well, we've heard past, you know, pinprick responses, like in the case of our troops being attacked in Iraq and Syria.
00:01:19.260 You know, just a few days earlier, think about this, Peter.
00:01:22.320 I was watching your questioning in the in the White House briefing room.
00:01:25.900 We might not have had a secretary of defense if this happened just a few days earlier. 0.96
00:01:30.100 But at least we found out the mystery of what was going on there.
00:01:33.380 So.
00:02:00.100 It's so interesting, you know, that geopolitical dance that is taking place there.
00:02:08.180 Barack Obama tried that pivot to Asia, right?
00:02:10.160 Right.
00:02:10.620 Didn't work out so well for him either.
00:02:12.180 Just the Middle East keeps sucking American leaders back. 1.00
00:02:15.540 And it's not just the security issues around these Houthi attacks.
00:02:18.300 This has an impact on the economy.
00:02:19.960 These boats are now having to go all the way around Africa and the Horn of Africa to get to Europe and to get to America.
00:02:25.920 That guess what that does?
00:02:26.880 That jacks up the price of goods and doesn't help with our inflation numbers.
00:02:29.720 Yeah, we've had one foreign policy expert after another over the past decade complaining about the fact that the United States is too focused on the Middle East.
00:02:36.980 We need to do our pivot to Asia. 0.99
00:02:39.060 You saw the Trump administration saying, oh, we're going to do a peace deal in the Middle East with all these countries.
00:02:45.740 We're going to pay them off.
00:02:47.120 We're going.
00:02:47.760 We know what they need.
00:02:48.800 We know what they want.
00:02:49.700 And we're going to push the Palestinian cause to the side. 0.94
00:02:53.120 We're going to just ignore it.
00:02:54.700 Screw them.
00:02:55.380 These Sunni Arabs hate them anyway. 1.00
00:03:00.340 And we see what happens.
00:03:01.840 You can't.
00:03:02.980 You know, you can't escape history.
00:03:05.080 This this has been this has been an ongoing wound since 1948.
00:03:11.300 Settlers can't go in and make matters worse. 1.00
00:03:13.840 They're going.
00:03:14.440 And President Biden does understand this.
00:03:17.200 They're going to have to have a two state solution.
00:03:21.000 And until we do, this continues.
00:03:26.160 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:31.160 Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:36.440 I got a free shot.
00:03:37.700 All these networks lying about the people.
00:03:40.700 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:03:42.600 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:03:43.780 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:03:46.740 It's going to happen.
00:03:48.020 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:03:51.400 MAGA media.
00:03:52.740 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:03:58.160 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:01.960 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:08.220 War Room.
00:04:09.140 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:04:13.780 It's Friday, 12 January in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:04:21.700 Welcome to the War Room.
00:04:22.700 A lot to get to today, including expanding war in the Middle East.
00:04:25.360 You just heard Joe Scarborough right there.
00:04:28.460 Settlers can't go in and make things worse. 1.00
00:04:32.460 Joe Scarborough taking the party line of the crazy left wing and bad and radical left wing
00:04:39.200 Sharia supremacists as they try to drive Israel into the sea. 0.95
00:04:45.000 And they're coming here to the United States. 0.98
00:04:46.660 Remember, you're just settlers.
00:04:47.820 You're just pioneers.
00:04:48.900 You're usurpers of the rightful rights to the land.
00:04:52.600 So Joe Scarborough right there.
00:04:53.860 I know he's a hammerhead, but he's a dangerous hammerhead because he espouts what the what the
00:04:59.180 left tells him to.
00:05:00.580 So a lot going on.
00:05:01.980 The voice of reason here.
00:05:03.020 I hate it when the Democrats are the voice of reason.
00:05:04.940 As you know, from watching the show, we've been hammering the table for a long time about
00:05:10.540 forcing Biden to the table about war powers because we're essentially in a situation in
00:05:16.560 Ukraine that should the Republicans should have called Biden to the to the table and to
00:05:22.700 the House two years ago.
00:05:24.740 And we would have had a logical plan in Ukraine, not just the death of 100,000 Ukrainian troops
00:05:31.100 in a slaughterhouse over there.
00:05:33.080 We actually had a plan.
00:05:33.940 You could vote up and down.
00:05:34.940 You could hold people to that vote.
00:05:37.200 Right now, this thing is out of control and expanding in the Middle East.
00:05:40.400 And my question, Jack Posobiec, my question, we back the Arabs, the Saudi Arabia, because 0.85
00:05:44.900 remember, people in I think Ben sent a map.
00:05:47.940 If Denver could split screen or show the map for us and maybe split screen it.
00:05:51.140 But where we're talking, the Red Sea is basically the entryway to the Suez Canal.
00:05:56.120 This is all about European shipping.
00:05:58.000 It's not about Americans, not about shipping coming to the United States.
00:06:00.640 It's about European shipping.
00:06:01.720 You have the Royal Navy with a couple of combatants, I think there.
00:06:05.780 Other than that, there's no real focus by Europe.
00:06:08.920 The Saudis criticized us last night.
00:06:10.640 The Saudis have been fighting the Houthi rebels who are Persian backed rebel group in
00:06:14.960 Yemen and can't because they're so incompetent. 1.00
00:06:17.840 As much money as we give them, as much arms we give them, the Saudis don't know how to fight. 1.00
00:06:21.500 Let's be just brutally frank about that.
00:06:22.980 This is the Saudis fight and the Europeans fight, yet the carrier battle groups are the
00:06:28.520 ones under attack and the carrier battle groups are the ones dropping the hammer last night.
00:06:33.120 And I 100 percent agree with the Democrats and not Lindsey Graham and the forever war crowd.
00:06:38.860 This was an illegal attack last night.
00:06:41.220 Joe Biden does not have the power to do this.
00:06:44.540 Jack Posobiec, your thoughts?
00:06:45.700 Well, Steve, you're exactly right in terms of the War Powers Act that Biden does not have
00:06:51.800 this authorization.
00:06:52.760 And of course, by the way, this is something that Biden himself said all the way back in
00:06:58.280 2020.
00:06:59.120 We've pulled up the tweets.
00:07:00.540 We've got Kamala Harris's tweets that they themselves made these statements all the way
00:07:05.720 back in 2020 and 2018 when they were talking about, of course, President Trump.
00:07:10.380 And by the way, so right now, the force lay down, you've got the Eisenhower carrier battle
00:07:15.640 group, carrier strike group operating in the Gulf of Aden that's just off the coast of Yemen.
00:07:20.560 But the UK, they don't have a carrier there.
00:07:22.960 So they had to launch their strikes all the way down from Cyprus, all the way from RAF Air
00:07:29.120 Base Akatiri.
00:07:30.400 So talking about a 3,000 mile round trip for those fighters and bombers that came down all
00:07:36.420 the way through the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aden.
00:07:38.780 And of course, astute members or veterans of the U.S.
00:07:43.160 Navy will remember that this is the same area where the USS Cole attack took place the last
00:07:48.760 time the United States almost lost a destroyer, which was right there in Amman, just next to
00:07:54.300 Yemen.
00:07:55.460 And so this question, excuse me, Ovan, and this question of why are we so focused on the
00:08:02.260 Red Sea?
00:08:02.740 People need to understand this is the flow of oil.
00:08:05.780 The flow of oil now to the Persian Gulf, from the Persian Gulf, through the Gulf of Aden,
00:08:11.480 through the Red Sea, through the Gulf of Suez.
00:08:13.980 That's what this has all been about.
00:08:15.560 This is the connection between Ukraine, between Russia and all of this to what we're seeing
00:08:21.040 now because they don't need the Houthis.
00:08:23.040 No, they don't need a Navy to be able to do this because we've made ourselves completely
00:08:28.100 dependent on Middle East oil.
00:08:30.800 Meanwhile, what's the Middle East done?
00:08:32.240 Oh, well, two weeks ago, BRICS just expanded.
00:08:35.500 So you've got BRICS, which is the response to the G7.
00:08:39.680 They just added Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
00:08:45.240 So guess what?
00:08:46.060 That's every single country in the region is now siding economically against the United
00:08:51.220 States.
00:08:51.800 You know who's leaving BRICS financially?
00:08:53.680 It's China. 0.90
00:08:55.020 China's looking out and has come down and condemned these attacks.
00:08:57.520 Russia's condemned these attacks.
00:08:59.220 And so in a post-October 7th world, now keep in mind, the Houthis have been bombed for 0.97
00:09:05.060 years, okay?
00:09:05.820 There were bombings that went on.
00:09:07.180 The Saudis have been bombing them into oblivion for a very long time. 1.00
00:09:10.540 There are strikes that are going on in the Obama administration.
00:09:13.460 But in a post-October 7th world, in a post-Ukraine world, all of the quote-unquote Pax Americana,
00:09:21.720 which supposedly existed beforehand, is crumbling and falling apart.
00:09:25.500 You're not going to get the Arab nations to back this now. 0.92
00:09:29.240 You're not going to get...
00:09:30.080 You know, Saudi's been awfully quiet about this.
00:09:33.020 You notice all of our normal partners have been awfully quiet about this.
00:09:36.860 And oh, by the way, I thought that Biden was going to put together a coalition.
00:09:40.080 Yeah, the coalition is down to two nations in the Red Sea.
00:09:44.080 And CNN is up there just blatantly lying to us that Lloyd Austin is directing the airstrikes
00:09:50.140 from his hospital bed.
00:09:51.600 I don't know if you saw that, Steve, that CNN actually claims that a source in the Pentagon
00:09:55.880 is telling him that Lloyd Austin is sitting up in his bed like he's playing Risk, you know,
00:10:00.820 while he's hooked up to the heart detector saying, oh, yeah, we're going to bomb here.
00:10:05.960 We're going to bomb there.
00:10:06.760 Steve, they understand.
00:10:09.860 What the neocons want here is escalation.
00:10:12.680 They want to drive us into an unavoidable war with Persia. 0.99
00:10:17.660 And we've talked about this here on this program for a long time.
00:10:21.500 The strategic choke points are what are being used as an entree into this because they're
00:10:25.620 going to turn around and say, well, you know, the Houthis wouldn't have been able to do this 0.90
00:10:29.160 if it wasn't for Iran. 0.79
00:10:30.200 And Hamas wouldn't have been able to do their attack if it wasn't for Iran. 0.98
00:10:33.380 Lindsey Graham is already out there calling for this. 0.96
00:10:35.480 Rand Paul, I commend him, by the way, who's just started a new Never Nikki pack.
00:10:39.320 I think that's fantastic to block Nikki Haley from hopefully from winning anything in the
00:10:45.420 primaries.
00:10:45.860 I don't think she will, but also keeping her off the ticket.
00:10:48.960 Rand Paul, it's something, you know, maybe, maybe take a look at the ticket there.
00:10:51.720 I think we could use, I think President Trump could use him in his wing and less of Lindsey
00:10:56.060 Graham.
00:10:56.360 But this is what the goal is, Steve.
00:10:57.640 And it's been their goal for a long time, for 20 years.
00:11:00.120 They want to take on Iran. 0.99
00:11:02.460 They want strikes up there.
00:11:03.880 They want the United States to be plunged further into now a Middle Eastern conflict.
00:11:08.980 So now you've got the Middle East kicking off. 0.94
00:11:10.720 We're already sunk into Eurasia.
00:11:13.460 And oh, by the way, Taiwan's got a huge election coming up.
00:11:16.860 What?
00:11:17.440 Tomorrow.
00:11:19.860 No, this is, look, you can't have two people that are more dedicated to the free navigation
00:11:26.440 of the oceans than Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon.
00:11:29.200 Jack, you were in the Naval Intelligence Officers for many, many years.
00:11:32.300 I was a Naval Officer.
00:11:32.900 But this is Mahan.
00:11:33.360 This is the British Empire.
00:11:34.540 This is all of it.
00:11:35.240 Yes.
00:11:36.460 But what I'm not in for is why is it always the United States?
00:11:40.920 And you have to do these things.
00:11:42.120 For instance, let's be blunt in that it's reported at MSNBC.
00:11:46.140 That's what it is.
00:11:46.880 This is not stuff going to the United States.
00:11:51.320 This is oil and goods and materials from Asia going up through the Cis Canal to Europe.
00:11:58.080 And next week, Jack, before I go to break and I want to hold you through, I've got Ben
00:12:01.420 Harno and Rome, we've got the World Economic Forum.
00:12:04.720 They're going to be there next week.
00:12:05.980 And one of the central things they're talking about is all the problems with extreme weather
00:12:09.260 and climate change and also the global problem with misinformation.
00:12:13.680 Misinformation would be, you know, what they named Natalie Winters misinformation for last 0.98
00:12:19.020 year.
00:12:20.000 You know, Brookings said we were the biggest show of misinformation and disinformation.
00:12:23.640 Jack Posobiec's evil.
00:12:24.860 He was rolled up when he was at Davos.
00:12:26.440 The guys at Davos are going to be there to ski resort with all the world's elites, all
00:12:31.500 the world's wealthy.
00:12:32.940 They control the top 1%.
00:12:34.220 The top 10% control 93% of the assets in the world.
00:12:39.300 They're sitting there while kids out of Norfolk, Virginia, men and women out of Norfolk, Virginia
00:12:44.980 are on these carrier battle groups.
00:12:46.980 Look, the Brits flew in a couple of planes from Cyprus, 3,000 miles, because they don't 0.52
00:12:50.860 have any assets down their fly.
00:12:52.300 And I think you got one or two Royal Navy destroyers.
00:12:54.860 Europe's not pulling their weight.
00:12:56.740 This is the same thing in Ukraine and in NATO.
00:12:59.840 These goods are going through the Suez Canal.
00:13:02.520 The Suez Canal is about connecting Europe to Asia, not the United States, not the United
00:13:07.100 States.
00:13:08.580 Nobody's pitching it.
00:13:09.420 And the Saudis, by the way, the Saudis came out yesterday and condemned the attacks on their
00:13:12.980 peninsula.
00:13:14.180 The Saudis, the incompetent Saudis, where are these Saudis? 1.00
00:13:17.020 Hey, they're buying golf tours.
00:13:20.480 They're putting money in all over the place to make more money.
00:13:23.060 Where are they paying for their defense?
00:13:24.580 Why are they not involved here?
00:13:25.800 Where's the Saudi Navy is not much?
00:13:27.380 They got fighters.
00:13:28.320 Why are they not hitting the Houthis?
00:13:30.300 Why is it always the United States?
00:13:31.780 And not one senior Republican has condemned this.
00:13:35.640 It took Democrats.
00:13:36.940 What I've been saying, you've got to get Biden to come and stop the happy talk and lay out
00:13:40.740 a war plan.
00:13:41.820 Let's have a vote.
00:13:43.100 Jack Posobiec.
00:13:43.940 Look, Steve, if I may, right before the break, I've been talking about the danger of drone
00:13:48.560 swarm attacks on U.S. aircraft carriers, U.S. destroyers.
00:13:52.980 This is exactly what we're seeing.
00:13:54.640 The drone swarms are escalating.
00:13:56.320 The Houthis are doing this because they want to deplete our ammunition in the area. 0.67
00:14:00.920 We've got reports that some of the destroyers, U.S. destroyers there have gone Winchester.
00:14:05.320 Steve, they've gone Winchester.
00:14:06.700 That means we're out of missiles.
00:14:08.380 OK, when you're sending up a million dollar missile against a $5,000 flying lawnmower with
00:14:13.840 a bomb on it, OK, who's going to win that fight financially?
00:14:17.220 And then what happens when you can't carry out your unwraps, your underway replenishment
00:14:21.440 at sea to rearm?
00:14:23.440 Now you've got problems because they're going to send up a drone swarm as well as undersea
00:14:28.480 drones.
00:14:28.900 And when the Slava Moskva, that cruiser went down in the Black Sea, that should be a warning
00:14:33.560 to navies around the world.
00:14:34.740 Guess what, boys and girls?
00:14:35.920 They're coming for us and they're coming for our sailors. 0.96
00:14:38.960 OK, Jack, hang over a second.
00:14:41.080 We've got Ben Horn where we go through this.
00:14:42.580 Eli Crane's going to join us.
00:14:43.760 Obviously, complete debacle.
00:14:45.760 A note to the audience, the House leaves in about 15 minutes for the weekend.
00:14:50.360 Are you knocking off for the weekend at 1045 in the morning?
00:14:53.380 Are you knocking off for the weekend?
00:14:54.900 I don't think you are.
00:14:56.340 You're in the war room.
00:14:56.880 Back in a moment.
00:14:59.620 As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of,
00:15:04.020 2024 will be a tumultuous year like no other.
00:15:08.380 How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?
00:15:12.000 You're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump, the grocery store.
00:15:16.360 The dollar continues to lose buying power quicker than your wages can increase.
00:15:20.340 How are you protecting your savings?

00:16:18.140 Action.
00:16:18.860 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:21.480 Okay, Basovic's going to hang with us for a moment.
00:16:27.320 Ben Harnwell, you've got a very astute observation here about this fiasco.
00:16:32.480 Give it to me, brother.
00:16:34.760 Good morning, Steve.
00:16:35.580 Good morning, Jack.
00:16:36.200 Well, really, my point here is just building off the back of Parso's excellent introduction to this situation,
00:16:41.780 where he mentions, I think quite eloquently, these, I think Jack said,
00:16:45.280 $5,000 flying lawnmowers that the Hooters are commanding. 0.64
00:16:49.520 And the figure I picked up was that these things actually cost only $500 to make.
00:16:53.800 So what they've been doing since November, when this really all sort of kicked off in the latest phase,
00:16:58.740 is that the Hooters have been trying to destabilise that whole of the shipping lane
00:17:03.340 from the Suez Canal down to the bottom of the Red Sea.
00:17:06.740 And doing that, they've created billions of dollars worth of damage due to the destabilisation of that shipping trade.
00:17:16.100 Now, the Hooters, and everyone has said that they've been attacking the shipping indiscriminately.
00:17:22.380 That's the precise word they're using, indiscriminately.
00:17:25.200 But the one country whose ships they have failed to hit so far is that of China's.
00:17:31.380 And that really just underpoints the key element here,
00:17:34.520 that the major maritime power that is so far staying back from this for the time being is China.
00:17:41.000 And I think this sort of really underlines the point that Jack was making,
00:17:44.960 that perhaps, exactly like Ukraine, perhaps the underlying objective here
00:17:49.480 has always been, as far as China's concerned, to wear down the West first in Ukraine, 0.72
00:17:56.240 now in the Middle East.
00:17:57.860 So that, I think it's reiterated in the last few days before this Taiwanese presidential election,
00:18:04.180 that it hasn't relinquished its desire to take that island.
00:18:08.340 Perhaps the underlying objective here, I say perhaps, I think it's quite clear that this is the case,
00:18:14.120 that China's trying to wear down the West through one forever war after another, 0.98
00:18:18.860 to give itself an open door to come in and reunify the island, the Taiwanese island.
00:18:25.460 But we're playing into the hands, Posobik. 0.69
00:18:28.240 To Ben's point, the PLA sent out a notification today that they will use,
00:18:34.700 they will not stand for any plan, any games, anything that will disrupt the unification of China with Taiwan.
00:18:43.460 This is on the eve of the election.
00:18:44.640 People should know.
00:18:45.900 We're going to have Colonel John Mills and everybody on the afternoon shows,
00:18:48.420 wall-to-wall coverage of the Taiwanese election, including tomorrow morning on our 10 o'clock show.
00:18:52.620 But Jack, this has totally taken an hour off.
00:18:54.520 This is CCP's plan this.
00:18:55.880 They've used the Houthi rebels who they're in business with, with Persia, because they back the mullahs.
00:19:00.760 They've got a handful of rebels that are launching drones.
00:19:03.880 You know, you said a lawnmower with a rocket at American battle groups.
00:19:08.320 And next thing you know, you've got our eyes.
00:19:10.340 You know, you've got Joe Scarborough pontificating, oh, we spent too much time on China.
00:19:14.840 It's the Middle East. 0.88
00:19:15.740 And settlers, his comment about settlers, about the Israelis being settlers,
00:19:20.220 right into the left-wing meme about Americans, our pioneer ancestors, the frontier ancestors,
00:19:29.060 that we're just settlers here and have really stolen this land from indigenous people.
00:19:32.660 Yeah, colonization.
00:19:33.660 Your thoughts, Jack Posobiec?
00:19:34.880 Well, Steve, that's exactly right.
00:19:37.560 Now, we do have, just talking about carrier force laydown, we do have the Carl Vinson,
00:19:41.720 currently conducting a port visit in Manila and the Philippines, so just across from the Taiwan Strait.
00:19:47.820 And then we have the Washington, which is forward deployed to Yakuska Naval Air State,
00:19:52.960 or excuse me, Naval Air Base in Japan.
00:19:55.500 So we've got two carriers just in, within strike distance of Taiwan at the current moment.
00:20:01.140 Because, look, they understand that China is using the Sun Tzu strategy, all right?
00:20:06.200 This is what, or I should say, the administration doesn't understand this.
00:20:10.120 They're getting people, getting units, getting organizations and extremists
00:20:16.220 that they don't necessarily have to put their fingerprints on to do their work for them,
00:20:20.860 to ratchet up the pressure.
00:20:22.240 This is the same thing they do with North Korea and traditionally have done with North Korea.
00:20:27.360 They use them like the pit bull on the chain that whenever, you know,
00:20:31.980 China is getting too much heat on them, they go to the North Koreans and say,
00:20:35.660 hey, why don't you launch some shells at one of the islands on the northern limit line? 0.71
00:20:38.900 Why don't you launch a couple missiles, lob a few across Tokyo?
00:20:42.140 And then suddenly they'll come in and say, oh, we're going to be the big peacemakers.
00:20:45.660 We are going to come in and down.
00:20:47.280 This is why Trump was working to, and look, let's just drive us all the way back.
00:20:51.760 This is what Trump's policies were when it came to peace.
00:20:54.760 People could say no, no wars, but they say, how did he do it?
00:20:57.260 Because he was able to create regional peace plans within the various hot spots of the world.
00:21:03.380 He went to the Middle East and he signed up the Abraham Accords, 0.99
00:21:06.200 and he did that by getting the Arab nations on board,
00:21:08.880 including the Saudis were about to come fully on board and at least recognize Israel for the first time.
00:21:15.080 Next, we know that he, of course, conducted one-on-one diplomacy with Xi Jinping,
00:21:20.080 taking him down to Mar-a-Lago, as well as one-on-one diplomacy for the first time with Kim Jong-un being the first president since the war to set foot in North Korea.
00:21:30.460 And he did so, by the way, without a guard, without secret service there.
00:21:35.580 He went alone into North Korea, the only man who ever did that.
00:21:38.920 So when we look at this policy of the neocons running the Biden administration,
00:21:44.560 I don't believe for a second that Lloyd Austin is sitting in his hospital bed making these decisions.
00:21:49.240 You've got Blinken and you've got Nuland, and it's really Victoria Nuland who is running all of this.
00:21:54.580 She is the one who is obsessed with Russia.
00:21:56.820 She is obsessed with climate change, regime change in the Kremlin.
00:22:01.420 She's obsessed with sending as many Ukrainians to their deaths as it takes because she doesn't actually care. 1.00
00:22:07.780 And, oh, by the way, she doesn't actually care about the Americans that are on those bases in Iraq and Syria right now
00:22:13.420 and those American sailors, my shipmates, that are sitting ducks on those destroyers, on those aircraft carriers,
00:22:20.040 on those cruisers operating in the Gulf of Aden right now.
00:22:23.400 Those people are the ones who are going to come under harm's way, but she doesn't care because she's going to continue ratcheting everything up.
00:22:29.820 They've completely lost the plot.
00:22:31.620 But, Steve, this is what it comes down to because you've got these Trotskyite neocons that are just obsessed with trying to rule the world.
00:22:38.420 They're obsessed. They're all commies.
00:22:39.840 They're the ones that Stalin kicked out, and they're the descendants in many cases of the commies that Stalin kicked out. 0.96
00:22:44.460 They're obsessed with these parts of the world and trying to push their rule over it.
00:22:48.720 And now you've got, remember, Nikki Haley.
00:22:50.560 What did Nikki Haley say about Iran?
00:22:52.240 She says it's time to finish Iran. Finish Iran. 0.90
00:22:56.020 How do you think the mullahs are going to respond to that?
00:22:57.960 How do you think the mullahs are going to respond when they hear Nikki Haley going up and up in the polls?
00:23:02.240 You're not going to finish.
00:23:03.480 This is bird brain.
00:23:05.660 This is bird brain because it's Persia, right? 1.00
00:23:08.020 She has no earthly idea what she's talking about.
00:23:09.560 She couldn't pick it out on a map.
00:23:11.920 I want to go to the forever war Republicans, though.
00:23:14.860 We've had Gates and people criticizing Lindsey Graham because, remember, Lindsey Graham is like McCain. 1.00
00:23:18.780 They want to go on a bombing run right now.
00:23:20.420 This is a guy supported by the arms manufacturers, the fat cats on Wall Street and Silicon Valley that want the forever wars.
00:23:28.560 Gates and some guys have had some pushback, but it's really been Ro Khanna.
00:23:31.960 And what they're asking for is what this show has asked for from February 22.
00:23:35.780 We need to have Biden come under the War Powers Act and make the case of exactly what's going on here.
00:23:42.620 Ukraine now in on the on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia.
00:23:46.760 We're we're in a war in a kinetic.
00:23:49.120 I should say this.
00:23:49.660 We're in a kinetic conflict on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia and the water's right off it.
00:23:54.920 Why in the hell are we there?
00:23:56.240 And the Saudis are criticizing us.
00:23:58.620 And NATO has no ships there.
00:24:00.300 Remember, when you don't have insurance, when you don't have a pension, Nikki Haley's talking about taking away your Social Security and your frickin Medicare.
00:24:07.380 She wants to go to war with Persia and the fat cat donors she has are all going to be over Davos next week skiing and hanging out and having to express those and cappuccinos and talking great thoughts. 0.76
00:24:18.640 Right.
00:24:19.340 They ain't putting a dime to this thing.
00:24:20.940 And none of their kids are on the on those combatants.
00:24:23.480 Jack Posobiec, why are the Republicans not stepping up here and demanding Biden come in under the War Powers Act and make his case?
00:24:31.200 Steve, you've got to understand, Lindsey Graham is getting he's he's he's getting twitchy.
00:24:35.880 He's getting he's almost orgasmic over this because he is going to sit there and finally say this.
00:24:41.160 And by the way, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, Nikki Haley, South Carolina, one of the key nodes of the military industrial complex in this country.
00:24:49.920 By the way, China's all throughout South Carolina.
00:24:52.760 Qatar is getting in South Carolina with the deals they have. 0.96
00:24:55.480 Boeing, of course, comes out of South Carolina with the doors falling off.
00:24:59.380 And I said by I was joking on on X last night, I said, if, you know, if we if we continue to run out of ammo, maybe just send some of the 737 Max Nines over there so they can drop doors on the Houthis. 0.99
00:25:09.140 You know, Nikki Haley, this has been their goal.
00:25:12.380 Right. And this is the goal of the donors going into them.
00:25:16.800 Steve, it's not about winning the war.
00:25:19.360 This is clear. It's never about winning the war.
00:25:22.100 It's about making the war continuous because these are the people who profit.
00:25:27.620 These are the people who make money off of the fact that war is a racket.
00:25:31.860 These are the politicians.
00:25:33.780 And there's so many of them in the Republican side.
00:25:36.520 And I got to say, Steve, I'm just going to say it, particularly in the United States Senate that are making millions and millions of dollars.
00:25:44.000 And by the way, our, you know, our senators and congressmen, they're such cheap dates.
00:25:48.900 I feel like sometimes you look at the amount of money that they're that they're making in terms of political donations.
00:25:53.660 And it's paltry. It's pennies. It's nothing.
00:25:56.920 It's absolutely nothing.
00:25:58.320 We are sold. We are bought and sold by the military industrial complex, by the Chinese Communist Party, by the Arabs and OPEC. 0.98
00:26:06.480 And it's just so silly. And the entire world knows this.
00:26:09.120 The entire world knows that every single politician, for the most part, for the most part, in Washington, D.C., it's just easy to buy them off.
00:26:17.660 You give them some stock tips.
00:26:18.740 You say, hey, Nancy Pelosi, go go make this deal now. 0.97
00:26:22.440 Make this deal now.
00:26:23.500 Make sure you do it before the bombs go off.
00:26:25.220 Good, good, good. And you're making money. Now you're on track.
00:26:28.360 There's one man who isn't part of that system, who wasn't on Epstein's list.
00:26:34.440 And there's a reason that all of the forces in the world are aligned against him.
00:26:42.000 They're aligned against him.
00:26:43.200 That's be Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th, soon to be 47th president of the United States.
00:26:48.120 Jack, how do people get to you?
00:26:49.340 I know you're up on Human Events Daily Day.
00:26:50.960 You're on Twitter nonstop.
00:26:52.640 You're not great information.
00:26:53.660 Nobody knows this better than you.
00:26:54.860 Where do they go?
00:26:56.580 Yeah, of course, Human Events Daily will be up there at 2 p.m. this afternoon.
00:26:59.580 We've got a huge show, fighting show today, walking through all this.
00:27:02.580 And, Steve, I know you'll be very, very excited.
00:27:04.480 In about 30 minutes, I'm doing an interview with Le Opinion in Paris, all about Taylor Swift.
00:27:12.760 Oh, my gosh.
00:27:13.660 Jack Posobiec.
00:27:14.700 That's a total extra I would get.
00:27:16.600 Posobiec, real quickly, how do people get your amazing – I've gotten so much incredible feedback.
00:27:21.260 We hit it up on Getter.
00:27:22.640 We'll put it up again.
00:27:23.380 When are you going to replay your series on the revolutions?
00:27:27.320 Right.
00:27:27.620 So Chronicles of the Revolution.
00:27:29.000 We've gotten a lot of attention about this.
00:27:30.920 We're going to set up a separate page on humanevents.com so that people can see this.
00:27:35.180 We're also going to be doing a town hall this Sunday night.
00:27:38.800 We're going to talk about it some more.
00:27:40.380 But with Chronicles of the Revolution, you can find it on Rumble and everywhere else.
00:27:44.140 And we might be doing some more stuff with that.
00:27:47.760 Poso, it's extraordinary.
00:27:49.520 Go back to work.
00:27:50.220 You had a big show today.
00:27:51.580 Okay.
00:27:52.400 Harnwell is going to stick with us.
00:27:54.120 We're going to talk about this War Powers Act.
00:27:55.600 Particularly, we're going to talk about the budget, Ukraine, the border.
00:27:59.700 The Republicans are leaving town, going home, 1045.
00:28:02.840 Are you going home at 1045?
00:28:04.600 No, no, no, no.
00:28:05.360 That's when the war room comes to work.
00:28:07.280 We're coming to work to sort this mess out next in the war room.

00:30:02.760 ...partisan spending deal, as Congress has just seven days now to fund the government.
00:30:07.740 A group of conservative Republicans met with the speaker yesterday over issues like the top-line cost of the agreement.
00:30:14.740 While members of the caucus said Johnson agreed to push for a new deal,
00:30:18.260 the speaker himself said he had made no commitments.
00:30:20.840 The framework of that deal, which Johnson agreed to already with Senate Democrats and the White House,
00:30:26.600 essentially models the agreement.
00:30:28.300 Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy made the effect.
00:30:30.340 I can't take any more.
00:30:32.000 I can't take any more.
00:30:33.700 So Johnson's now committed to five or six different alternatives.
00:30:37.880 Every time he gets in a room, he commits to something.
00:30:39.660 He's committed with Schumer on a deal that's dead.
00:30:42.020 And then MTG and all the, you know, Eli Crane, everybody, Eli's going to join us here at the top of the hour.
00:30:47.960 They all went in and said, this thing's dead in the water.
00:30:50.380 It's not going to happen.
00:30:54.220 And then he just, he pivoted.
00:30:55.840 I'm going to pull it off.
00:30:56.680 I'm not going to pull it off.
00:30:57.740 He's wandering around saying, I'm very confident I'm not going to get blown out of here.
00:31:02.420 Yo, dude, I wouldn't be so confident of anything right now.
00:31:05.340 You're a mess.
00:31:06.180 You're a hot mess. 1.00
00:31:06.980 Number one, you have a biblical worldview.
00:31:11.760 Now, I'm just going to go, I'm just throwing this out there.
00:31:14.860 I'm not obviously as devout of you.
00:31:17.920 You're one of these super devout evangelical Christians, and that I admire you.
00:31:22.620 You've got to go read the, if the biblical worldview, go dive into the Bible.
00:31:26.460 Take the Old Testament and say, you pick it.
00:31:29.020 The one thing you see there is, and maybe even after the Bible, after the New Testament,
00:31:35.140 the Acts of the Apostles, and then go into the saints, particularly the first century,
00:31:39.160 second century, third century, saints of the church, the beginning years.
00:31:44.940 Courage.
00:31:46.560 Courage.
00:31:47.480 And courage means in the defining moment, you have to step into conflict.
00:31:53.960 Dude, you're just a wimp.
00:31:56.320 It's not hacking it.
00:31:58.160 The country's in a crisis.
00:31:59.260 They announced last night we've had a half a trillion dollar deficit, half a trillion
00:32:04.420 dollar deficit in the first quarter, the first quarter of the fiscal year.
00:32:07.120 That's from October through December 31st.
00:32:09.760 That means, guess what?
00:32:11.360 We're on track for at least a $2 trillion deficit.
00:32:14.600 And you're sitting there talking about $16 billion.
00:32:16.300 Well, you know, I only control one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth of one-one-hundredth.
00:32:20.940 Dude, shut up. 1.00
00:32:22.700 I don't want to hear that anymore.
00:32:23.900 That's a, that's a, that's whiner talk. 1.00
00:32:27.040 Work with what you got.
00:32:28.200 You think at Valley Forge, you had anything?
00:32:31.000 You think up up there on the stone wall at Gettysburg when Pickett's Charge coming at
00:32:34.820 them, 15,000 wildcats are coming with them, battle flags.
00:32:39.780 What do you think they had?
00:32:42.940 Anytime in American history, what do you think they've had?
00:32:44.940 What do you think John Paul Jones had?
00:32:46.180 Had the whole Royal Navy around him.
00:32:47.640 What'd he have?
00:32:48.920 Stop one.
00:32:49.460 I don't want to ever hear, well, when you're running out one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth.
00:32:53.560 That's wimp talk.
00:32:55.420 Talk to me about what you got.
00:32:56.680 You got all the leverage in the world if you have the titanium stones to say, hey, guess
00:33:01.240 what, Biden?
00:33:02.140 If you're going to have an invasion on the southern border, if you're going to spend money
00:33:04.500 like crazy, if you're going to do this, hey, your illegitimate regime is going to shut
00:33:08.680 down.
00:33:08.940 You can suck on this because we are the House of Representatives, and I am Speaker of that
00:33:12.540 House.
00:33:13.820 Empowered by the Constitution of the United States and the founding fathers of this nation.
00:33:20.440 That's what I need to hear.
00:33:21.400 I don't need to hear your wimpy, and anytime, hey, let me give you another buzzword.
00:33:26.300 Anytime this guy says, we're looking for policy wins.
00:33:28.840 No, we're looking for massive cuts in spending to save the nation, and policy wins with it.
00:33:34.300 Don't, you're not going to, you're not going to bait and switch this audience.
00:33:37.040 People are too smart now.
00:33:38.220 They have too much information.
00:33:39.960 They know the drill.
00:33:40.700 You go on Fox, on TV for stupid people, and sit there and go, when he got 16 billion in
00:33:46.940 cuts, we moved 10 billion in IRS money, and we moved another 6 billion of previously designated
00:33:54.560 cover relief.
00:33:55.480 Who cares?
00:33:57.160 $16 billion, not relevant.
00:33:59.840 Grace Chung, and then put it up, I think it's six days worth of interest.
00:34:03.860 Are you crazy?
00:34:04.940 The interest is going to be a trillion dollars.
00:34:06.520 The country's in a crisis.
00:34:09.760 Stop going home at 1045 in the morning with nothing done.
00:34:14.420 I don't want to hear, oh, you know, you're going to come back.
00:34:16.500 God, we don't have enough time.
00:34:17.540 I need a CR.
00:34:18.380 You need a CR?
00:34:19.960 Where were your asses over the three weeks of Christmas?
00:34:23.060 Anybody in this audience take three weeks off?
00:34:25.160 You would love to take three weeks off, spend it with your family.
00:34:29.020 Maybe at two weeks, you say, hey, should I go back to work?
00:34:32.800 Kidding.
00:34:33.160 You people are going to go down in history as nothing but a bunch of disgusting wimp losers. 1.00
00:34:41.500 In fact, you're not even going to be remembered by history.
00:34:43.940 You're not even going to be remembered by history because you weren't in the fight in the moment
00:34:47.700 you had to be in the fight.
00:34:49.220 And we know the only reason you're scared now is because this audience, 202-225-3121,
00:34:54.960 call up and let them have the old what for.
00:34:57.880 This is just a confusing narrative.
00:35:02.020 It's just very simple.
00:35:03.580 The answer is no.
00:35:05.660 And, of course, Dave Brackard, people are calling up.
00:35:07.220 He says, you know, donors have these guys call Bratton.
00:35:09.680 They go, why aren't you guys always saying no?
00:35:11.820 Look, dude, before you can reconstruct it, you got to stop it.
00:35:15.600 What are you, idiots?
00:35:17.080 You guys always, all you say is no.
00:35:19.300 You're so negative.
00:35:20.060 It's called command by negation, moron.
00:35:25.680 These people are idiots.
00:35:27.900 And they're going to come back and they want you to knock on doors.
00:35:30.480 You want them to give them money.
00:35:31.380 Hey, you tell them before I give you a penny, before I work a phone bank, before I walk a precinct,
00:35:35.920 before I do anything, before I go to a town hall, I want to know one thing.
00:35:38.860 What have you done in this moment of the nation's crisis?
00:35:41.920 Where are you?
00:35:43.380 Are you playing patty cake with Democrats?
00:35:45.040 You're going to pass this abomination, and are you going to shut down the border of the invasion of our country? 0.77
00:35:51.360 Because shutting down the border is the easy part.
00:35:53.180 Then you got to deport them.
00:35:54.460 And then you got to make up for all the destruction they've done to the country.
00:35:59.160 The education system, the health care system.
00:36:02.220 How many of those folks are coming up through the border?
00:36:04.360 You have no idea what they're bringing into the nation.
00:36:07.780 The crime, the disease, all of it.
00:36:11.060 But, and you have the, and the gall, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis sit up there the other night,
00:36:18.200 and they're, oh, it's entitlements.
00:36:19.940 Remember, that's all bayonair talk.
00:36:22.460 That's all bayonair talk.
00:36:23.720 That's to get your eye off the ball of the massive tax increases for the super wealthy.
00:36:30.220 You want to unite the country?
00:36:31.540 I got to way unite the country.
00:36:32.620 I can get 80% of the people united in one thing, tax the wealthy.
00:36:36.560 They're the ones driving this fiasco.
00:36:38.380 They're the ones driving open borders. 0.98
00:36:39.720 They're the ones giving all the money to NGOs, all the progressive Democrats.
00:36:44.200 That's why the progressive Democrats never tax the wealthy. 0.76
00:36:46.640 You notice that?
00:36:48.120 Oh, the feeling, caring Democrats.
00:36:50.740 They never tax the wealthy ever.
00:36:54.240 This is a con and a scam.
00:36:57.440 Citicorp would now say, you know, Larry Fink, Mr. Big Shot, he lays off, what, a cut?
00:37:01.740 600 people yesterday, I think.
00:37:03.040 Today, Citicorp announces a labor force, I think, of 220 or 200.
00:37:10.100 They announced 60, they're going to get rid of 60,000 people.
00:37:13.600 That's a good Biden-amist work.
00:37:14.880 And 60,000 people.
00:37:17.180 20,000 immediately in the United States.
00:37:18.840 20,000 Citicorp people gone.
00:37:21.220 How's that economy working out for you, Citicorp employees?
00:37:25.460 By the way, people in South Carolina, Jack just went over.
00:37:28.160 The folks in South Carolina are among the greatest patriots in this nation.
00:37:32.140 But you ain't being represented by good folks.
00:37:35.320 Lindsey Graham, not a good guy.
00:37:36.720 Let me be blunt.
00:37:38.040 A little worm.
00:37:39.620 And now he's going to have more kids because the defense conjurers, this guy keeps winning.
00:37:43.320 He's McCain Jr., right?
00:37:45.860 He's McCain Jr.
00:37:46.800 He's up there last night.
00:37:48.100 Let's go all the way to Tehran.
00:37:49.500 Let's roll, baby.
00:37:50.720 Let's do it.
00:37:51.300 Well, hey, I was on a destroyer off the coast of Persia, right?
00:37:55.680 During the run-up and the work-up to the hostage crisis that came later.
00:37:59.860 The hostage, you know, remember that not—we were there for the hostage crisis,
00:38:02.460 but the Carter's plan to get him out didn't go so well, right?
00:38:07.580 You know why?
00:38:09.260 Persia's a pretty big and unforgiving place. 1.00
00:38:13.460 There's a map I saw today, put the Middle East, all of it, over the United States.
00:38:16.640 It takes up about all the United States.
00:38:19.220 I think the attack we were going to do is going, like, from Chicago to New York City
00:38:24.220 at treetop level with those helicopters.
00:38:26.060 Didn't quite work out, did it?
00:38:28.060 You know why?
00:38:28.500 It's a very forbidding place.
00:38:29.760 Before you go and put people in harm, it's the way you've got to know what you're going to do,
00:38:32.500 and you've got to have the commitment to see it through.
00:38:34.500 And where are—when you see Davos and all those big shots, you know,
00:38:38.200 drinking the cappuccinos and the expressos and on CNBC,
00:38:41.140 and they've got the $5,000 ski suits, and they're thinking great thoughts
00:38:45.640 and talking great thoughts about artificial intelligence and how the world's going to be,
00:38:49.520 the knitted brow, and they're sitting there thinking, you know,
00:38:51.960 explaining to people how it's going to be.
00:38:54.380 Hey, are they paying for ships that are down in the Red Sea right now,
00:38:58.480 protecting the Suez now, trying to keep it home?
00:39:00.220 Are their sons and daughters—are their kids on those Navy combatants out of Norfolk, Virginia?
00:39:03.900 Are they on those Navy combatants?
00:39:05.280 Are they on the—where are their ships?
00:39:07.960 I don't see France.
00:39:08.980 I don't see—and if you see them, it's onesies, twosies.
00:39:12.060 NATO, you're supposed to be—we're supposed to be an alliance.
00:39:14.300 Hey, last time I looked, the Suez Canal's your deal.
00:39:16.760 Not our deal, your deal.
00:39:19.240 Saudis are criticizing this.
00:39:20.520 Saudi, you've been begging us for help.
00:39:22.240 First thing you came to—Trump was on hand,
00:39:23.780 bending knee about helping you with the Houthis,
00:39:26.640 helping you with—because you couldn't defeat a bunch of rebels up in the mountain with RPGs.
00:39:31.520 Your advanced military was getting their ass kicked all the time,
00:39:35.800 and now you're down against us?
00:39:37.600 But then let's bring the fleet home.
00:39:39.440 If the Saudis got it and the Europeans won't send anybody, hell with them. 1.00
00:39:43.880 It's time you've got to start putting America first.
00:39:46.500 It's time you have to start putting American citizens first.
00:39:50.540 And the Republicans worry about the War Powers Act.
00:39:53.320 Why can't we demand—you have to have Roe Kihana lead you? 0.99
00:39:57.760 Understand something.
00:39:58.620 Roe Kihana's going to run for president of the United States one day. 0.99
00:40:00.840 He's out there in Ohio talking economic nationalism.
00:40:02.960 Oh, he won't use Bannon in Navarro's term.
00:40:05.400 He'll call it economic patriotism.
00:40:07.020 But he's up there right now doing what you should do.
00:40:10.400 Demand Biden come to the House and lay out a plan.
00:40:14.500 What are we doing in Ukraine?
00:40:16.140 Oh, let's just give him another $60 billion.
00:40:18.040 By the way, note to self, lead story in the Hill.
00:40:21.560 Any changes to the border at all got totally rejected.
00:40:24.960 Boy, where did you hear that first?
00:40:27.120 Was it war room?
00:40:28.040 I told you this was coming, baby.
00:40:29.860 I told you this was coming.
00:40:31.340 They're going to happy talk to you.
00:40:32.820 And Lankford, you know, one of the reasons is that Rosemary Jenks came on here, one of the most honest and smart people in this movement who's been doing this for 30 years.
00:40:42.440 And she called out Lankford as a traitor, as a traitor for what he was doing on his basically exacerbating the invasion.
00:40:50.300 That was going to be your big thing.
00:40:51.800 And they understand that's such a farce.
00:40:53.440 It's not going to go anywhere in the House.
00:40:54.760 It collapsed.
00:40:55.460 They said, hey, guess what?
00:40:56.440 You just got to give us the Ukraine money.
00:40:58.220 Mark my words.
00:40:59.280 They're going to come back next week with the Houthis. 0.99
00:41:01.200 Oh, we got to get to Ukraine.
00:41:02.340 We got to keep Ukraine. 1.00
00:41:03.160 But Ukraine can't get any more of their own people to fight. 0.94
00:41:05.640 You know why?
00:41:07.240 The working class, the little guy over there is tired of having his sons and daughters thrown into the charnel house.
00:41:13.560 Ask the big shots in Davos next week.
00:41:15.280 How many of your kids are in Ukraine?
00:41:17.260 How much of your personal money is going to Ukraine?
00:41:19.200 How much of your country's money is going to Ukraine?
00:41:21.120 All you big shots.
00:41:22.300 Here's how much.
00:41:23.220 Almost nothing.
00:41:24.380 Only what they're forced to do to the United States. 0.56
00:41:26.940 How much?
00:41:27.460 How are they matching the 60 billion?
00:41:29.840 No, they are not.
00:41:32.020 This is a con and a scam.
00:41:34.620 It's very simple.
00:41:36.240 We put this nation first.
00:41:37.820 We put her sovereignty first.
00:41:39.640 And how about this?
00:41:41.600 How about this?
00:41:43.120 How about this?
00:41:44.560 We put the citizens of this country first.
00:41:47.500 They're first.
00:41:48.320 They're not last.
00:41:49.020 They're not last anymore.
00:41:51.140 They're first.
00:41:52.560 It's not selfish.
00:41:53.520 It's the most giving nation on earth.
00:41:56.060 You see anybody else patrolling the South China Sea?
00:41:58.540 You see anybody else in the Red Sea?
00:42:00.360 Yeah, they'll throw up one or two ships for optics. 0.99
00:42:03.140 No, I'm talking about bringing the heat and bringing the muscle.
00:42:06.660 It's always the United States of America. 0.77
00:42:08.680 And it's always the kids of the deplorable.
00:42:10.500 The sons and daughters.
00:42:12.220 That's the reality check.
00:42:13.460 So don't sit here with your high talk and all your, you know, everything.
00:42:18.220 Where are the Republicans?
00:42:19.700 Force Biden to come to the House and tell us exactly what in the hell this feckless, hapless, illegitimate hack has got in mind. 0.90
00:42:28.860 Don't you have the balls to do that?
00:42:30.260 Don't you believe in the Constitution?
00:42:32.760 Are we just going to start shooting up everywhere?
00:42:34.360 Because it's coming.
00:42:35.500 Because you didn't hold him accountable.
00:42:38.380 That's why he thought he had their authorization for it.
00:42:40.900 And does Austin fear you?
00:42:42.060 We can have the second hand of the National Command Authority and nuclear weapons in every attack be out of the loop.
00:42:49.620 And you know why?
00:42:50.220 Because they don't fear you in the House.
00:42:51.800 The Armed Services Committee rolls over and gets their belly scratched all the time.
00:42:56.420 They don't fear you.
00:42:57.460 They don't respect you.
00:43:00.340 Johnson, you want to be a hero?
00:43:01.900 Don't leave this weekend.
00:43:03.160 Go in and say War Powers Act.
00:43:05.420 Hey, your budget's finished.
00:43:06.660 We're shutting down the border.
00:43:07.860 You're not getting a punny.
00:43:08.920 We're going to defund it all.
00:43:09.860 And bring a government shutdown.
00:43:12.480 Shut this illegitimate regime down before it does any more damage to the citizens of this country, our nation, its sovereignty, and the rest of the world.
00:43:23.960 Be a hero.
00:43:24.680 In fact, don't even be a hero.
00:43:26.640 Johnson, just be a man.
00:43:30.260 I'm tired of the I'm a Christian biblical worldview.
00:43:33.020 Hey, dude, you keep saying I'm a Christian with biblical worldview and doing what you're doing,
00:43:36.640 you're going to have the biggest conversions to Islam ever.
00:43:39.420 Okay?
00:43:39.860 Because they're going to say, if that wimp is that what a Christian man is, I'm going to try the other thing. 0.99
00:43:43.640 At least they fight.
00:43:45.960 Short commercial break.
00:43:47.840 Mike Lindell will join us.
00:43:49.460 A little fight going on with Mike Lindell.
00:43:52.400 We'll get the update on it when we return in a moment.
00:43:54.700 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?
00:44:12.480 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:44:22.820 It's prominent all over the country.
00:44:25.540 Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:44:30.420 Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:44:34.960 Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models. 1.00
00:44:39.900 And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer. 0.98
00:44:47.280 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.
00:44:53.780 With Public Square, we now have a solution.

00:46:10.720 Okay, I've got a lot more to say about this, but Eli Crane is going to be at the top of the hour.
00:46:15.040 We're going to get down to the details of this.
00:46:18.900 The deficit is clearly spinning out of control.
00:46:21.540 We won't even have a conversation about that.
00:46:23.460 Ask your congressman, 202-225-312.
00:46:25.920 Ask your congressman, here's the thing.
00:46:27.140 Instead of the old what-for, why don't you get into a Socratic dialogue with the young staff or the picture phone call-up and just say, hey, look, I'd like to know – we have a $2 trillion deficit right now that McCarthy cut the deal on.
00:46:41.340 Just tell my head, I'd like to know whatever congressman you're talking to, what's their plan to actually fund that?
00:46:46.900 How are they going to fund it, right?
00:46:49.220 And then I'd like to know, since next year is going to be $2 trillion also, and we're already into that year where we've got to make that budget, ask them, what are you going to do on that $2 trillion title?
00:46:58.860 So it's $4 trillion.
00:47:00.960 By the way, it's going to be $2 trillion in perpetuity.
00:47:03.100 You understand this, right?
00:47:04.040 $2 trillion in perpetuity.
00:47:05.040 Just ask them.
00:47:06.200 Say, hey, look, I'm just some schmendrick.
00:47:07.740 I just want to know.
00:47:08.380 I'm some simple person.
00:47:09.400 I got my number two pencil out.
00:47:11.120 I'm going to do some gazintas.
00:47:13.240 This gazinta that times what?
00:47:14.880 Just do it.
00:47:15.520 Maybe some simple math.
00:47:17.040 They're not quantum mechanics.
00:47:19.040 And the staffer will be, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada.
00:47:24.100 And then tell them, hey, if you can't answer it, I want to talk to your boss.
00:47:28.540 Put some heat on these folks.
00:47:30.380 When you see them back in the district, get up in the grill.
00:47:33.480 It's time to stop playing nice.
00:47:34.660 What are you doing back here?
00:47:37.140 You didn't do any town halls over Christmas.
00:47:38.900 What are you doing back here?
00:47:39.620 You want some feedback?
00:47:40.980 How about this?
00:47:42.000 Shut it down.
00:47:43.400 Mike Lindell, how are you doing, brother?
00:47:49.320 Well, I got very disturbing news, and I'm bringing it to your show, this announcement.
00:47:57.860 Oh, great.
00:47:58.440 I'm glad you're bringing disturbing news.
00:48:01.860 It's been such a sunshiny show this morning.
00:48:04.860 Hit me, brother.
00:48:05.800 Let's get it all.
00:48:06.580 Come on.
00:48:07.420 Come on.
00:48:08.100 We got big shoulders here in the war room.
00:48:09.740 We can take it.
00:48:10.440 What do you got?
00:48:10.920 Well, as you know, Steve, ever since I've been speaking out on our election platform, since
00:48:16.980 January of 21, they've been attacking my company, MyPillow, with cancel culture, the box stores,
00:48:24.340 the shopping channels, and now Fox News.
00:48:27.940 Fox News has canceled MyPillow.
00:48:30.020 And I don't have the reasons why yet.
00:48:34.080 I can only say, well, the caucuses are coming on Monday.
00:48:40.180 They know my brand is branded right with our great real president, Donald Trump.
00:48:45.400 You know, maybe it's because I brought Lou Dobbs over to my Lindell TV network this week.
00:48:50.600 But everything is just very alarming and suspicious.
00:48:56.180 Why now?
00:48:57.040 Just out of the blue, you're canceled.
00:48:59.280 And, Steve, I'm beside myself.
00:49:04.100 I don't even know what to say.
00:49:05.520 You go after a company because your CEO is concerned about helping save our country and secure our election platforms.
00:49:14.880 It's just disturbing.
00:49:16.940 It's disgusting.
00:49:17.640 Hold it.
00:49:18.360 Explain to the audience, what do you mean you've been canceled by Fox?
00:49:22.320 You give them $100 million a year, at least in the filings, to buy advertising.
00:49:27.440 They're not taking your money?
00:49:29.800 Hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:49:30.780 Hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:49:32.320 Our new commercial we're launching, you guys might have seen them over on Newsmax and stuff this last week.
00:49:39.860 And my media buyers, they actually told me Wednesday night, and I've been sitting there,
00:49:45.860 and we've been trying to get to the bottom, why would you do this to us?
00:49:49.000 And it's full cancellation.
00:49:52.000 I mean, you're off.
00:49:53.180 They won't even accept money.
00:49:54.780 Hold on, stop.
00:49:55.600 Hang on.
00:49:55.900 They won't accept cash.
00:49:56.880 You give them hundreds of millions of dollars for those commercials I love.
00:50:04.920 You give them hundreds of millions of dollars, and they're telling you now that, Mike, even though the commercials are entertaining,
00:50:11.460 you can give us hundreds of millions of dollars, but the answer is no.
00:50:14.060 You can't buy – I didn't think you could do that in America.
00:50:17.120 Can you even do that?
00:50:18.200 I know the Murdochs are foreigners, but can you not accept people's commercials?
00:50:24.700 Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:25.860 I mean, they look at what the boxers did to MyPillow and the shopping networks, 1.00
00:50:29.600 and now one of our biggest platforms for them to do that, here's cash.
00:50:35.120 Can I buy the commercial?
00:50:36.340 Steve, it's not like it's not their number one product in history or their number one commercial in history.
00:50:41.340 And, like I say, I can only say, is it because we added Lou Dobbs to this week?
00:50:47.980 Hang on.
00:50:48.540 Hang on.
00:50:49.680 Well, it's because –
00:50:50.420 Have you given them over the –
00:50:51.880 It's because the more robusty gets better specials.
00:50:53.800 I don't know.
00:50:55.860 No, it is or it is.
00:50:57.080 They don't want your – they don't want to platform you in the run-up to – because they're all in for Nikki Haley.
00:51:02.460 They don't want to run Iowa, New Hampshire particularly.
00:51:04.660 They can't have Mike Lindell on there.
00:51:06.120 Mike, have you given over the course of the history of MyPillow, the 10-year –
00:51:10.140 Have you given Fox – have you given Fox basically a billion dollars, you think, in aggregate of advertising sales?
00:51:16.320 I wouldn't know the number, but I know it's in the hundreds and hundreds of millions.
00:51:21.720 I would say it's somewhere maybe between a half a billion and a billion dollars.
00:51:26.660 Yeah, we were – I think really we're in the number one direct sale advertiser of all time.
00:51:31.280 We've been with them since November of 2014, a partner with them.
00:51:39.400 And realize, you know, people, you know, that I've advertised with, we advertised everywhere.
00:51:46.520 You know, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, you know, we've been doing that every platform, ABC, NBC, CBS, everywhere.
00:51:53.720 And if you remember at the – at one of the – after the cyber symposium, they wouldn't – Fox is the only one that wouldn't let me advertise that.
00:52:03.100 And so, you know, I don't know if – you know, I can only say it's political.
00:52:07.640 I don't know for sure, but it's – I know one thing.
00:52:10.660 It's for not to accept money to advertise.
00:52:13.500 I don't know if that's even legal.
00:52:16.040 That's what we're looking into.
00:52:17.160 I mean, this is – it's a – let's just go destroy my pillow.
00:52:21.220 And it's – I'm very disturbed about this.
00:52:23.960 Yeah, it's bad enough the left does it.
00:52:26.900 But tell us – I'll tell you, I'm going to hold you through the break.
00:52:29.000 I got Eli Crane up.
00:52:30.260 I got Captain Fennell from Switzerland.

00:52:36.080 But, Mike, I got to start with you.
00:52:37.800 Real quickly, I got about a minute here.
00:52:40.420 Talk to me about – since Fonso won't take the ads, what are you going to do for the War Room Posse to have your back?
00:52:45.340 Well, we're going to give the War Room Posse all the specials that they – the new commercials would have had there.
00:52:51.600 And it's exclusive to the War Room Posse.
