In this episode, we talk about the need for sanctions on Russia, why they should be levied, and what Congress should do about it. We also hear from the families of the victims of the helicopter crash in the aftermath of the Munich Security Conference.
00:00:00.000In fact, I was going to ask you about that because I was talking to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and he was suggesting that very thing.
00:00:08.200So are Republicans. Lindsey Graham would go a step farther. And I think so would Whitehouse.
00:00:13.100I talked to him about this designated Russia as a state sponsor of terror due to them.
00:00:18.780What we do to Iran and North Korea and Cuba without real justification there, you know, in terms of the real standard for that.
00:00:26.520But Putin is obviously a killer. There's no question about that.
00:00:32.360And there's bipartisan support for it, certainly in the Senate. I believe in the House as well.
00:00:37.400And there's talk about it. I would tell you, from what I can tell, that the secretary of state would support it.
00:00:43.960There is also support. Brussels is against it because they hold a lot of the Russian debt.
00:00:49.720Japan is apparently against it. So are the Swiss. So do it individually.
00:00:53.180It should be a subject for the G7. What's wrong with that, Ambassador?
00:00:58.880So I want to separate out the Russia's estate sponsor of terrorism from taking the assets because I've written about both.
00:01:05.500I've talked to our administration about both. I think getting the money is easier than a state sponsor of terrorism, even though I personally support both of those.
00:01:13.780I run a sanctions group and we wrote a paper in October of 2022 about how to transfer these assets, right?
00:01:21.500A year and a half ago. And having met with many people in Brussels, in Europe, you're exactly right on your analysis that they are less enthusiastic.
00:01:32.140But that's exactly why members of Congress should do it, because if they compelled the administration to do this in a joint package, that would make it easier for those who support the idea in Europe to go along.
00:01:47.040I just literally yesterday met with people that said if America moved first, if America showed leadership, it would make it easier for them to do it.
00:01:57.180So this to me is just a win win. And it has such an obvious logic to it.
00:02:02.480And just symbolically, I want to say one last thing. I met with wounded warriors in Munich as well from Ukraine, some of whom had lost their sons and other friends.
00:02:13.480Symbolically, for them to pass this will mean so much to those soldiers sitting in the trenches.
00:02:19.200They need that signal. Just the symbolic signal that we are not abandoning them is vitally important for them to keep fighting their war.
00:02:26.580So we've got to they've got to get this done. History will not be kind to them if they block this.
00:02:32.120Every day they block this. This is a gift to Vladimir Putin.
00:02:37.040Why, as an American, do you want to be giving Mr. Putin a gift at this moment in history?
00:02:44.260Came out on the stage in Munich and galvanized the whole conference.
00:02:50.080Now, today she was on his YouTube channel and saying that indicating she's ready to take the torch and continue his work.
00:03:01.680Talk to me about the significance of that.
00:03:03.660Well, it's obviously the thing she has to do. I saw her the day before her husband was killed in Munich.
00:03:12.980I was there with you, Andrea, when she spoke to the to the group. It was electrifying.
00:03:17.900You saw how strong she is. She's the obvious candidate to lead this charge.
00:03:22.580But if she were on this show with us right now, you know what she'd be talking about?
00:03:27.100She'd be talking about what you all just were talking about. This aid bill to Ukraine.
00:03:32.360Putin is a killer. Putin killed her husband. And every day he's killing people on the Ukrainian battlefield.
00:03:39.600And if we want to stop that, if we want to fight evil, that's the word she would use.
00:03:43.660You have to do something. And it's hard for her. She doesn't know what to do.
00:03:48.500But members of Congress have something right in front of them that they can do.
00:03:53.000It's right there. They can help stop the killing of Putin's war machine.
00:03:58.300And I, too, met with members of Congress in Munich.
00:04:02.160And again, they are self-selected, like Jonathan said.
00:04:05.440But this is a moment. This is a historic moment.
00:04:08.380If they don't pass this, historians will write about them like the American firsters in 1940,
00:04:15.780who said, oh, aid to Great Britain won't matter. This is not our war.
00:04:20.520They look very bad in retrospect in that position.
00:04:23.780And I think they have to take the initiative now.
00:04:26.400And I have one concrete solution, Andrea.
00:04:28.540I'm going to reveal it here on your show right now.
00:04:31.060They need cover, just like you said. Speaker Johnson needs some cover.
00:05:12.760And then Speaker Johnson and his colleagues can say, we forced the Biden administration to give over these billions of dollars of Russian assets.
00:07:30.720The banks are going to collapse, all of it.
00:07:32.900He and Stavridis and that whole crew, one lie after, they're either totally and completely incompetent, which they kind of are, are malevolent.
00:07:40.960Because they just bald-faced lied and sucked in America more and more and more.
00:07:44.380Now, what they're talking about, being blocked by MAGA everywhere, as we've told you, they want to take these frozen Russian assets, which are really treasury bonds, treasury bills, up to, I think, $600 billion.
00:07:59.260I think we actually have control of $300 or $400 billion, and there's others in European banks.
00:08:04.500They want to convert that to cash and give it to the Ukrainians.
00:08:06.980It will be the immediate end of the dollars of prime reserve currency.
00:08:10.240Didn't you hear Andrea Mitchell on her breath?
00:08:12.780Well, the Swiss and the Japanese don't really, really are adamantly opposed to that.
00:08:16.160Yeah, the Swiss who know something about currency and money are damn adamantly opposed to it.
00:08:23.060This is not, this is exactly, McFall and this crowd over at Munich are just as lawless as that Moscow judge of the Moscow show trials on Friday with President Trump taking his assets.
00:13:26.720You get all the specials, all the sales, all the free shipping.
00:13:29.700Or mystore.com, also promo code WORM, or 800-873-1062.
00:13:35.260Mike, you're going to keep the, before I let you go, you're going to keep the real president's sales for real president's day sales going all week in honor of President Trump coming to CPAC and giving that big speech on Saturday?
00:14:12.600But we're going to keep this sale going all week.
00:14:15.160Everything I'll sell, remember that new product that just came in, these bathrobes, there's nothing, these are the best bathrobes ever made at Long Staple, Subima Cotton, War Room Posse, exclusive special.
00:14:27.000Mike, you get those bathrobes, you get bathrobes in a small, you get them in a small or medium?
00:14:30.900Anyway, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:33.840We want you at CPAC, cpac.org slash war room.
00:14:38.240You get a ticket under $100 for all four days.
00:14:42.300And if you go to warroom.org, that's our website, warroom.org.
00:17:01.700I need help to raise money so I can hit back at you and your handpicked opponent, who's now your puppet, running in South Carolina, against me.
00:18:03.760And so now today we've got someone we don't always agree with, Mike Johnson and everything, but at least he's honest and he's not going to tell a lie to someone that we can trust much more than the former disgraced speaker.
00:18:16.600So is it just me or in this audience, isn't it odd that McCarthy continues to keep coming back to the Capitol after being humiliated, the only speaker ever turfed out in the history of this republic?
00:18:29.860And now he's very publicly gone after the eight patriots that stood up to him and really led the House in a revolt that said, we can't do this anymore.
00:18:39.140We're not we just can't do do we can't run this place with you lying to us all the time.
00:18:43.960What is this obsession with the eight of you that he's got?
00:18:47.280He needs to get a job is what he needs to do.
00:18:49.960He needs to find a new hobby off the hill because he he got kicked out of the speakership.
00:18:54.480And quite frankly, he gave up on the Republican Party.
00:18:56.920He quit on the party, which means he wasn't the man for the job.
00:19:00.160If he was willing to quit that quickly on the party and put our majority at risk, put our majority at stake out of vengeance because eight patriots love their country more than they love Kevin McCarthy.
00:19:10.800That shows you the kind of character that he has.
00:19:13.720And for me, this was not a difficult vote.
00:19:41.680And the gal he has running against me is a puppet.
00:19:44.300You can go to puppetcatherine.com and see that she was Jeb Bush in high heels, a globalist who was working to defeat Donald Trump when you and I, Steve, were working to elect him back in 2016.
00:20:26.980Would Kevin McCarthy's going after the other eight, has he ever gone after any of the other eight and saying, I hope they get the help they need and imply that there's some mental or personal issues there?
00:20:39.580Has he gone after even the Gateses of the world?
00:21:35.480And we're going to need all the help we can get because he's going to put in five, eight, ten million against me in the primary.
00:21:41.680And we need the help of Americans all across the country to defeat the swamp.
00:21:44.980And it's Nancy Mace dot org to do that.
00:21:49.840Congressman, you know, he's always lecturing President Trump and MAGA that we got to expand, that we can't get suburban women, that, you know,
00:21:58.920Did he not imply right there, which I think is most professional women and most moms I know get their back up when somebody says, oh, you're just crazy?
00:24:21.620They put more than $4 million in back of defeating you because you voted to stand up for MAGA, the Republican Party, the president, and the country, and turf McCarthy out?
00:24:32.500Because of that one vote, I think it could be more than double that figure.
00:24:37.460That is the low figure that we have heard.
00:24:40.720We've heard double – we've heard much higher than that in terms of what kind of money he's willing to put.
00:24:46.600And the issue is, in my opinion, this is the most consequential election of our lifetime.
00:24:53.040And you have a guy, the former speaker, going after fellow Republicans, because if I lose the primary, this gal is going to lose the general election.
00:25:03.860We need Donald Trump in the White House, we need the majority in the House, and we need to flip the Senate.
00:25:07.540And yet Kevin McCarthy is out there taking on fellow Republicans of seats that we need to win and putting that majority at risk rather than helping President Trump get in the White House.
00:25:18.960That money would be much better spent helping to elect Donald Trump.
00:26:52.540And I want to remind my political foes, Mace is pepper spray, but it's also a weapon, and we're going to use that weapon in every way that we can, whether we're going after Hunter Biden, going after our opponents, because we've got to win our country back.
00:27:03.220Well, Congressman Mace, thank you for your vote to turf McCarthy out, your courage to do that.
00:33:21.780Basically, what he said is he voted for Trump, he was an immigrant, and if we don't vote for Trump, America would disappear because they're taking, the Democrats are taking the United States the wrong way with inflation and messing up the whole country.
00:33:38.700And we're here to support him because this was our last great chance to make everything happen.
00:33:42.880My name is Stephen Schooley, and today it's called We the People Support Our Greatest President, President Trump, and President's Day, the year 2024.
00:33:55.440And this is the year where President Trump is going to be elected again for the third time.
00:34:03.220And we the people had enough of Joe and the Democrats.
00:34:07.120So this is the most important election in our nation's history.
00:35:57.540And it just goes to show he's the people's president.
00:36:00.340And that's really what the elites and the administrative state fear the most.
00:36:04.400And that's why they're working tirelessly to try to take him down through any means necessary, through the lawfare, through bankrupting him.
00:36:11.860They know that they can't beat him on the ballot, so they want to actually take him off the ballot.
00:36:17.740And it's just always awesome to get together with so many pro-America patriots and to see the grassroots movement.
00:36:24.160This rally was 100 percent put on by grassroots patriots, and it was an awesome day.
00:36:29.940I also want to show off, just to show how giving President Trump is, he gave out these hats to his supporters.
00:36:36.100So I got a Make America Great Again hat, and I also got a MAGA hat, which you know I will be sporting these, at CPAC.
00:36:43.420So make sure to come and say hi to me at CPAC, and maybe we can twin with the hats and take some cool photos.
00:36:51.060CPAC, talk about self-organizing CPAC.
00:36:52.900We're going to do this on Wednesday, get our entire team together, plus a bunch of our contributors to meet.
00:38:32.040And he's so popular amongst young people.
00:38:33.940I mean, young people just can't stand Joe Biden.
00:38:36.600They don't like what they got in 2020.
00:38:39.140Either they think he's not gone far enough with the left-wing stuff or they realize, oh, wait, he's actually destroying the economy with this.
00:38:46.000And we need to do things like afford gas and food, which doesn't really work under Joe Biden.
00:38:50.780So, yeah, President Trump has a huge opportunity to gain more and more youth support.
00:38:55.520And I think if he continues these initiatives and events like SneakerCon, I think that will really work in his favor.
00:39:02.960Do you think – I want to ask you about that.
00:39:04.600Do you think he ought to do – if you were able to talk to the inner circle over there, do you strongly recommend more of these cultural events?
00:40:23.120The reason, in fact, they hate him so much, and, yeah, they hate him.
00:40:30.640600 years in prison, taking his business, want to take him off the ballot.
00:40:36.760They want to humiliate him or destroy him in every way.
00:40:39.340Send a signal to you that if you back President Trump, if you're MAGA, if you're America first, if you stand up for your country, it's going to happen to you too.
00:40:57.300It's the reign of the outlaws, and you can tell that.
00:41:01.400These people are absolutely despicable, and what they've done to President Trump is beyond the pale.
00:41:08.560But people are pushing back, and people are fighting back.
00:41:10.420But you see the establishment right there are going to put $4 million back in Nancy Mace's opponent, not giving that money to President Trump when we need to come together and make sure that we are focused to defeat Biden in the fall and everything Biden stands for.
00:41:26.760That first opening cold open, think about this.
00:41:31.020He's a big shot on MSNBC at the time, on CNN, running his mouth, talking about everything he said about the Ukraine war is dead wrong, 100 percent dead wrong, dead wrong.
00:41:44.680But now he wants to destroy the American dollar.
00:41:47.140If we take the seized assets, which are treasury bonds and bills and notes, and convert that to cash and then give the cash to the Russian people's enemies, no country – they're going to bang off the SWIFT system.
00:42:01.920They're going to bang off using – the de-dollarization movement will be like it got a shot of testosterone for good reason.
00:42:09.940If you were running – your fiduciary responsibility, if you were running a central bank of another country, is that, hey, can we trust the Americans to be fiduciaries?
00:42:18.620Or if part of some clique in their country decides somebody's an enemy, somebody's an enemy.
00:42:24.340We haven't declared war against Russia.
00:42:26.600We're not at war with the Russian people.
00:42:29.740Biden has not come to Congress and laid out a plan.
00:42:32.180There's been no War Powers Act invoked, nothing, zero.
00:42:35.820We're just winging this and giving it to Ukraine, which is not an ally.
00:42:39.300In fact, they're not even part of the protectorate of NATO and ain't going to be a part.
00:43:01.160Find out why your elites are destroying it.
00:43:03.180Find out why the purchasing power of that dollar that you hold has dropped about 17 to 19 percent since the illegitimate Biden regime usurped the 2020 election.
00:43:13.560And are usurpers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
00:43:39.440The apples in your holiday pie taste amazing, but it's not exactly the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables.
00:43:50.800The Mayo Clinic says if you want to help prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure and your cholesterol, eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, which, as you know, is almost impossible.
00:44:02.960That's why you need to check out Field of Greens.
00:44:05.180Every fruit and vegetable in Field of Greens was medically selected by doctors to support your vital organs like your heart, your lungs, your kidneys and your immune system.
00:44:15.700Yo, folks, the holidays are here and you need to stay healthy.
00:44:19.060Plus, you'll notice your skin, hair and nails will look healthier.
00:44:22.880Field of Greens is the simplest way to get those daily fruits and veggies and it tastes amazing.
00:44:28.760Let me get you started with 15 percent off your first order.
00:45:57.320Yet, and this is what I knew when we talked to the Birch Gold guys about doing this, you flocked to that.
00:46:05.320The end of the dollar empire because you do understand and we have to have a national conversation.
00:46:09.500I'm fully for this about being the prime reserve currency.
00:46:13.240But if you, the prime reserve currency, if you're not going to do it, you work through over time and a long period of time, how we're maybe going to unwind that.
00:46:38.400These are the people that Georgetown cocktail parties mock you relentlessly, mock you relentlessly and your kids and your grandkids and your parents and your grandparents, just so I can make sure that you get the full the full money here.
00:46:53.780And look how radical and chaotic McFaul sits there and goes, no, no, no, no.
00:46:59.500If these redneck xenophobes block it, block Ukraine money, that just means so stod and in Tuscany and Florence and the south of France and Belgravia, the west end of London, you know, all the ritzy parts of Paris and Berlin.
00:47:18.800And all of it don't have to pay or the Norwegians with their one point.
00:47:23.140And I love the Norwegians, but you're sitting on a one point five or two trillion dollars sovereign wealth fund.
00:47:27.980So you guys don't have to pay for your own defense.
00:47:30.140We got to shove 60 billion dollars in there today with no understanding where we stand in the war, except for the fact they can't get any young people to fight in Ukraine.
00:47:39.220And why? Because the parents are quite rational.
00:47:41.700They don't want their kids to be slaughtered on a battlefield for no purpose.
00:47:48.400The Ukrainians are plenty patriotic, plenty heroic.
00:47:53.060If they thought there was a purpose of this, their young men would be heading to the front.
00:47:57.080They don't. And so they're shipping them out somewhere else.
00:47:59.460And they're sitting there going, yeah, let's just take it.
00:48:04.920This is the most if we do that, the dollar is going to collapse.
00:48:08.280Everybody's going to get away from the dollar, of course, because I say the Americans, a bunch of thieves, international thieves.
00:48:14.220And she says, well, you know, the Swifts and the Japanese really oppose it.
00:48:18.840Of course, the Swiss and the Japanese oppose it.
00:48:21.940They know something about fiduciary responsibility.
00:48:23.220They're sitting there going, the whole system will collapse if we do that.
00:48:27.400And they're prepared to do it over 60 billion dollars in Ukraine.
00:48:31.760What in the hell has gone on in Ukraine?
00:48:34.260That's the only thing we care about now is what the hell brought us to this point.
00:48:38.720I want to know everything Victoria Nuland's been doing.
00:49:03.940Once again, the Chinese people and the Russian people were our allies in World War Two.
00:49:08.740And yes, our Marxist ridden government, government threw them to the wolves afterwards.
00:49:14.900And then 50 years later, when the Berlin Wall came down and the goddess of liberty came up Tiananmen Square, we sold them out again.
00:49:21.420The Bush apparatus and all these big shots going over there and stealing everything they could in Russia as quickly as it could when the Bolsheviks collapsed until the KGB came and threw these guys out.
00:49:33.580Nothing but a group of international bandits and criminals.
00:52:49.220For War Room veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:53:00.820China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:53:05.800I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:53:09.480The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:53:16.640But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:53:22.100Now here's the action you can take to correct.
00:53:24.980Do yourself and your family a favor and get your Jace case right now.
00:53:28.980It's a pack of five prescription antibiotics you'll have on hand for common emergencies.
00:53:40.860Take a few minutes and fill out the form.
00:53:43.200Your information will be reviewed by a board-certified physician and your medication will be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost.
00:53:53.660You'll be glad you have the Jace case.
