Bannon's War Room - Episode 3554： Johnsons Road To Kyiv Moment

00:00:00.000 For what purpose does the gentleman from Flora rise?

00:00:28.000 I said, well, the gentleman from Florida, the gentleman is not recognized, colleagues, no, I'm going to, the house will be in order.

00:00:45.120 All members are reminded to observe decorum.

00:00:56.000 Speakers, speakers are reminded to address the chair and pursuant to Clause 8 of Rule 20.

00:01:03.400 The unfinished business is the vote on the passage of H.R. 8034.

00:01:07.400 And in Ukraine and in Taiwan and our NATO allies now know that America is back, that we're leading the free world like Ronald Reagan did.

00:01:16.800 And, you know, Reagan brought down the Soviet Union, for God's sakes.

00:01:20.500 The eyes of the world are watching and our adversaries are watching and history is watching.

00:01:25.700 And that's what I kept telling my colleagues.

00:01:28.220 Do you want to be a Chamberlain or a Churchill?

00:01:31.260 Because that is a moment in time that we are at.

00:01:34.220 President Zelensky, it is an historic morning.

00:01:37.100 I want to get your reaction to this major news.

00:01:40.020 The House approving $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.

00:01:44.380 Will you get this aid in time to make a difference?

00:01:47.660 Can Ukraine now win this war?

00:02:09.080 Or is the United States merely giving you enough aid to prolong this war?

00:02:17.660 Thank you.

00:02:20.540 I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine.

00:02:26.660 And we will have a chance for victory if Ukraine really gets the weapons system, which we need so much. 0.89

00:02:38.040 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Meet the Press yesterday reacting to the House overwhelmingly voting in favor of new funding for Ukraine, as well as Israel and Taiwan.

00:02:52.100 The Senate is expected to pass the legislation as early as tomorrow and send it to the president's desk to sign.

00:02:59.460 Really incredible moment.

00:03:01.120 And I have to say, wasn't sure Mike Johnson had it, but he does.

00:03:06.120 Certainly does.

00:03:06.600 I mean, Mike Allen and Jim Vande Hei wrote this this morning in Politico.

00:03:12.500 He defied the loudest, most threatening GOP personalities dug deep into government intelligence and shifted his position on the most vital foreign policy legislation in years.

00:03:23.580 Why it matters?

00:03:24.600 It's hard to overstate the importance of Johnson's road to Kiev political conversion.

00:03:30.660 He not only shifted his own position on funding and arming Ukraine, but defied a majority of his party to do it.

00:03:37.260 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:03:44.760 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:03:49.980 You're just not going to free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:03:54.240 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:03:56.160 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:03:57.580 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

00:04:00.280 It's going to happen.

00:04:01.540 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:04:04.940 Mega media.

00:04:05.860 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:04:11.780 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:04:15.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:04:21.900 War Room.

00:04:22.700 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:04:28.760 It's Monday, 22 April, in the year of our Lord, 2024.

00:04:32.300 The 30-front war intensifies today, because we are fighting everywhere to save this republic.

00:04:39.920 From the tip of Manhattan, and just remember, the Ukrainian flags, the slobbering all over Polly Pockets Johnson with his Churchill moment, the Ukrainian flags. 1.00

00:04:50.220 What's happening up at Columbia and MIT and Yale and what's happening in lower Manhattan, it's all part of the same piece.

00:04:56.680 Remember, in the fog of war, the most important thing is to look with total clarity.

00:05:04.960 And understand who your enemy is and where the points of attack are, because this is all of a piece.

00:05:13.140 A couple of things we're going to do today.

00:05:15.160 We've got, in the first hour, we've got Burkwam, Harnwell, Brat, and Poso is going to join me.

00:05:21.920 We're going to take apart Polly Pockets, Mike Johnson's, the lies and misrepresentations, and also the government lies, the intelligence lies about this Ukraine situation.

00:05:33.640 And today, another 5,000 or 10,000 will come across the border.

00:05:36.340 The invasion continues unabated.

00:05:38.180 In fact, the invasion continues unabated, exacerbated by money, by money that we've approved.

00:05:45.880 The Republican House used zero leverage.

00:05:49.360 With McCarthy, gave Biden everything he wanted.

00:05:52.660 With Johnson, has given Biden even more than he wanted.

00:05:57.220 They're laughing.

00:05:58.100 They're laughing right now at the Republican Party.

00:06:00.340 They're laughing at the Republican Party in these cucks who have, and that's what they are, who have surrendered.

00:06:07.300 More than ever, this is a point of delineation and clarity between MAGA.

00:06:12.900 We're going to be MAGA, and we're going to fight as populist nationalists to save this country?

00:06:16.840 Or are you just going to go throw in?

00:06:18.200 Because Republican doesn't mean anything anymore.

00:06:20.960 You're either a globalist, elitist.

00:06:22.520 And you can be a more conservative global elitist on their spectrum, but you're still, your core is those neoliberal, neocon policies.

00:06:32.400 Or you want to put America first and, as importantly, American citizens first.

00:06:39.500 In the way we look at this from the war room, the American citizens are the preferred stockholder.

00:06:44.260 First of you guys are the creditors committee because you have to approve this.

00:06:49.120 Trump's made you chairman of the creditors committee, but below the debt, you're the preferred stockholder in the country.

00:06:56.100 The citizens come first.

00:06:58.760 And this is what's been lost by the uniparty drones on Capitol Hill when reporting to their paymasters, the tech feudalist, sociopathic tech feudalist in Silicon Valley, and, of course, the lords of easy money on Wall Street, and the other global corporatists.

00:07:18.340 This is what Ukraine was. 0.77

00:07:19.880 You saw everything you wanted to see.

00:07:22.040 They gave you a visual.

00:07:24.620 They committed sacrilege on Saturday when they brought the Ukrainian flags. 1.00

00:07:33.320 They brought Ukrainian flags, Ukrainian flags on the floor of the House after Johnson and this crowd of Republicans.

00:07:44.360 The 101, and all the 101 ought to be turfed out.

00:07:47.800 Any of the 101, if you look at any solace law, we had 112.

00:07:51.720 We had a majority of the majority.

00:07:53.220 At least we've shifted that.

00:07:55.480 I know it's a little compensation, but you're getting there.

00:07:59.660 But we're going to hold.

00:08:00.360 Johnson's got to go.

00:08:02.180 Our entire week, you need to call your district offices, and you need to put the fear of God in these people that you've had a belly full of this.

00:08:10.020 This is obscene.

00:08:13.780 What happened is a desecration.

00:08:15.720 It's a desecration of this republic.

00:08:17.740 It's a desecration of the House.

00:08:19.920 It's a desecration.

00:08:21.460 And their support of Johnson, and look, you're just going to get a caretaker.

00:08:25.960 Now we've got to get a caretaker.

00:08:27.180 And call the bluffs.

00:08:28.540 It's a great unmasking.

00:08:29.580 You've seen Gallagher.

00:08:30.380 Gallagher was a golden child.

00:08:31.580 He was one of the golden children.

00:08:33.600 He's like Paul Ryan now.

00:08:35.400 He's at 6% approval.

00:08:36.700 People hate him.

00:08:37.340 Why did they hate him?

00:08:37.960 Because he proved exactly who he's working for.

00:08:41.340 And he's going over to Palantir.

00:08:43.220 And Palantir, you see that demon from Palantir rubbing up against Johnson in all these photographs?

00:08:48.560 Palantir's as bad as it comes.

00:08:50.700 As bad as it comes.

00:08:52.700 Another deep state operation sucking in tons of taxpayer cash.

00:08:58.340 Gallagher's going to go work for him.

00:09:01.020 Gallagher's going to go work for him.

00:09:02.220 But if the threat is, and for the hard eight, it's just not good enough.

00:09:07.720 I love you guys.

00:09:08.620 But sitting there saying, oh no, some guy may turn to Hakeem.

00:09:12.180 Hakeem, Jeffries, and Biden run the floor anyway.

00:09:15.280 Run the floor anyway.

00:09:17.340 And for those people around Trump that talk Trump into this fiasco with Johnson.

00:09:22.060 And I know for a fact that Trump was lighting up Johnson on Thursday and Friday.

00:09:26.000 Behind the scenes of this complete debacle.

00:09:30.160 And Johnson's lie, his road to Kiev.

00:09:32.540 His road to Kiev.

00:09:34.740 You know, his Damascene moment.

00:09:38.040 That, you know, the government, like Joe Scarborough said.

00:09:40.860 He saw the government intelligence.

00:09:42.440 We're going to go through that.

00:09:45.600 Joe, I had a high security clearance both at sea and at the Pentagon.

00:09:50.040 When you were in short pants, even before you even dreamed of messing with interns, right?

00:09:57.160 Who would eventually die in your office.

00:09:59.200 Even before you even fantasized about interns, right?

00:10:02.980 Decades before that.

00:10:04.700 Decades and decades before that.

00:10:07.160 I had a high security clearance.

00:10:08.600 You have to know how to look to intelligence.

00:10:10.480 Because the intelligence services are always selling you something.

00:10:14.020 If the intelligence service is so great, and that's what Johnson's saying 100% what he did because it was so dirty.

00:10:21.140 Johnson, did you ask a question and compare and contrast how they got October 7th wrong?

00:10:26.540 The head of IDF intelligence just fired, resigned, took the blame for the October 7th fiasco.

00:10:34.300 Didn't the CIA and DNI?

00:10:36.200 They have more intelligence, more apparatus, more equipment, more infrastructure than IDF.

00:10:43.680 They missed it and or were part of it.

00:10:47.480 You tell me.

00:10:48.220 I don't know.

00:10:48.840 I want to investigate and find out the whole thing.

00:10:50.520 I don't buy the fact that it just occurred.

00:10:52.840 And no, I don't buy the fact you just served up one IDF general is taking the blame.

00:10:58.520 No, no, no.

00:10:59.000 It's like Pearl Harbor.

00:11:00.460 It's like blowing up the main.

00:11:02.660 It's like 9-11.

00:11:04.660 11, you need real inquiries of people that can look at the evidence and are fearless in reporting back.

00:11:11.680 The same intel that failed there, you're telling me, oh, they're perfect with Russia. 0.88

00:11:18.460 Everything you say about what you're based on, everything you say you're based on is not backed up by empirical fact.

00:11:24.420 And if it is backed up in empirical fact, we're demanding that you put some version of that forward to back it up and prove it.

00:11:30.920 In addition, sir, did you ask for and get at the same security level briefing on the invasion of the southern border and what's happened with the 15, 12 to 15 million people that are in the country?

00:11:44.300 Did you ask for the same briefing?

00:11:46.440 And if you did not, why not?

00:11:48.560 Because you did not.

00:11:50.300 You did not.

00:11:51.000 We know that.

00:11:52.200 But why not?

00:11:53.820 And if you were that briefing, if you compare and contrast, what is the greater threat to the United States of America?

00:12:00.700 There's no question it is what has happened on the invasion of this border.

00:12:05.120 And, sir, you have supported that.

00:12:07.280 You've had multiple opportunities to secure the border by using every piece and people in the chat sometimes.

00:12:13.360 Oh, no, no.

00:12:13.940 It's the only thing.

00:12:14.440 No, we have the ability to cut off the money.

00:12:16.680 You have the ability to take all types of action in the House of Representatives.

00:12:20.820 Yes, it's hard.

00:12:22.160 Yes, Morning Joe is not going to be, Mika is not going to be slobbering over you saying what a Churchill moment.

00:12:27.680 Gosh, he was so brave.

00:12:29.060 You see that all weekend?

00:12:29.740 I told you that was going to happen.

00:12:31.560 Polly Pockets is now.

00:12:32.920 Polly Pockets looks in the mirror.

00:12:34.740 He doesn't see Polly Pockets.

00:12:36.700 He sees Winston Churchill.

00:12:38.840 He sees a man of the defender of the West.

00:12:41.020 He sees Richard the Lionhearted.

00:12:43.120 He sees, you know, he sees the bravest of the brave.

00:12:46.680 When he's nothing more than a gutless coward, they get paid.

00:12:49.460 Do you understand how Biden and these guys are laughing at Johnson and that crew right now? 0.92

00:12:54.400 And you've got to understand, you know, the Brian Jacksons of the world and all the McCarthy guys are still around Trump.

00:13:00.720 And this is why you had this ridiculous meeting with Trump down there, right, where Johnson comes out and says he supports him 100 percent.

00:13:08.720 And then President Trump has to counter that by saying nobody talks for him and nobody does talk for Trump. 0.91

00:13:14.800 This deal is an abomination.

00:13:20.020 We're going to go.

00:13:20.660 We've got Burkwam down in Lower Manhattan in the show trial started day.

00:13:24.580 The same progressive forces that are putting Trump on trial in Lower Manhattan and have rigged the game are the same progressive forces, not just on the lawn at Columbia University or at Yale, but in the faculty Senate and in the administration.

00:13:41.520 The Sharia supremacists on the lawn are just a symptom of the problem.

00:13:47.540 The problem, what's got to get purged at Columbia is the administration, all the progressives, OK, all the progressives and the parents sitting there whining about, oh, your kids are unsafe.

00:13:57.320 Of course, of course, they're unsafe, because for decades you've brought the enemies of the United States into the country and you've put them into Ivy League schools.

00:14:07.980 The faculty's got to be purged.

00:14:09.800 The administration's got to be purged.

00:14:11.600 If you want to save your kids, that's what you need to do.

00:14:15.000 That same progressive neo-Marxist mindset is what's got Trump down in Lower Manhattan, and it's exactly who waved those flags on the floor of the House.

00:14:26.420 Not one of those people backed President Reagan when he wanted to take down the evil empire.

00:14:30.640 Not one of them backed taking down the Bolsheviks. 0.81

00:14:33.220 Not one of them backed taking down the Soviet Union, OK? 0.62

00:14:36.640 Ask yourself who the true enemies of this country are.

00:14:40.620 I'm telling you, they were standing in the house the other day, and the people that ate and abet the enemies are just as bad.

00:14:47.240 Johnson and these people are just as bad, and all of them got to go.

00:14:51.340 Short break.

00:14:52.140 Lower Manhattan next.

00:14:53.060 We won't break till they're all gone.

00:14:54.940 We rejoice when there's no more.

00:14:56.820 Let's take down the CCP.

00:15:01.600 Hey, folks, if you watch War Room, you know we talk every day about the geopolitical and other forces driving the price of gold.

00:15:07.400 There are actually a couple of reasons this is happening.

00:15:10.980 Let me walk through them.

00:15:12.180 The cost of goods continues to rise despite interest rate controls by the Fed.

00:15:17.300 Since January 2021, cost of living is up 18%.

00:15:22.160 The national debt continues to skyrocket, now significantly north of $34 trillion, causing many to worry when the House of Cards will come crashing down.

00:15:33.340 And a presidential election year that will have massive implications on the future of this country.

00:15:39.860 All this adds up to instability and uncertainty.

00:15:43.720 And that is why so many Americans are turning to Birch Gold Group.

00:15:47.160 Have you diversified your savings yet?

00:16:44.100 Done.

00:16:44.940 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:47.360 Okay, let's go to our Palm Beach studio.

00:16:51.480 Dave Bratt, your assessment of where we stand.

00:16:54.360 Before I go, I got Burquam live down outside of the courthouse.

00:16:58.240 President Trump arrived.

00:16:59.100 I think it started at 930 today.

00:17:00.880 New announcement's going to end even—was going to knock off a two-for-pass.

00:17:04.020 It was going to end even earlier.

00:17:05.260 Ben Burquam will break that news for you.

00:17:08.200 Bratt, given the assessment of President Trump is in a show trial in Lower Manhattan,

00:17:14.020 and the progressive faculties of Yale, and the progressive donors and the parents, all of it.

00:17:20.300 It's not—you know, they're now going to depend upon MAGA cops that are MAGA to go down there.

00:17:24.880 Yes, and these are Sharia supremacists. 0.94

00:17:28.140 They hate America. 0.95

00:17:29.140 I got that.

00:17:30.240 But that's a symptom of the problem.

00:17:32.060 The problems in the administration, the problems in the faculty, all of the faculty should be let go.

00:17:36.420 They're all neo-Marxists.

00:17:37.400 They all hate America.

00:17:38.260 They brought this on us. 0.97

00:17:39.500 They should all go.

00:17:40.300 They're all the big—by the way, the same—and no offense, the kids down there that are being tortured, right?

00:17:46.480 99% of them are all in the BLM things and the summer love.

00:17:50.420 We have to have more—we have to have clarity here, okay?

00:17:53.860 Yeah.

00:17:54.140 The anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Judeo-Christian forces are lined against us, okay?

00:18:03.680 Yep.

00:18:03.960 We can't just be singly targeting, oh, we got to go save the thing.

00:18:06.840 No, the problem there is that the Yale faculty and the Yale administration, you saw it when Stefanik had them out there.

00:18:14.540 They're all progressives.

00:18:15.620 They all hate MAGA.

00:18:16.600 They all hate Trump, right?

00:18:18.400 Why should we lift a finger?

00:18:20.320 We lift a finger because we want to purge what they've done to these Ivy League universities.

00:18:24.480 It's filtered down to every university.

00:18:26.060 It's filtered down to the Naval Academy, the DEI, the CRT, all of it.

00:18:30.780 That's all neo-Marxism.

00:18:32.740 That's the problem.

00:18:33.840 It's not the pro-Palestinian.

00:18:35.920 That's a symptom.

00:18:37.080 The Sharia supremacists and why they're embedded and why all the faculties support them and all the administrations really support them until they start killing people, until the optics get too bad on TV, right? 0.95

00:18:47.700 And then they want somebody to come in and save them?

00:18:49.460 No.

00:18:50.160 No.

00:18:50.880 They got to purge while they're up there today, taking those camps down, which they got to do, take the encampments down.

00:18:57.320 But, hey, go into the administration and get rid of three-quarters of the administrators and go into the faculty senate and blow out all the faculty members.

00:19:04.880 Dave Brett.

00:19:06.640 Yeah, that's right.

00:19:08.180 There are no Churchills on the forefront in U.S. leadership. 0.99

00:19:13.100 When I think of Churchill, I think of what you're doing, standing up against the entire world on every issue, what President Trump has been doing on policy issues, right?

00:19:22.140 This is not all politics.

00:19:24.280 Churchill stood up with courage, right?

00:19:26.880 Look around us today.

00:19:28.300 We have the appeasement camp, right?

00:19:30.340 The leadership in the House and the Senate, HR2 is still sitting in the Senate.

00:19:35.020 They won't pass that to shut down the border.

00:19:37.720 So look who's doing the appeasement.

00:19:39.320 We're appeasing cheap labor, right, the big corporations.

00:19:42.200 We're appeasing the banks and the financial system with interest rates at zero for two decades and a $35 trillion debt appeasement on the financial front.

00:19:53.620 And then forever wars.

00:19:55.080 We're appeasing the defense military industrial complex.

00:19:59.280 Instead of being courageous and saving our resources for the real wars to come, we're blowing through cash and weakening us.

00:20:06.680 The globalists and the Marxists couldn't think up a better script.

00:20:09.860 And then just politically, what do you run on, right?

00:20:13.180 If you've given away, those are the three issues that the American people care about.

00:20:17.780 The debt, the inflation, right, the financial piece, the border invasion, and then the forever wars.

00:20:23.900 Those are the big three.

00:20:26.240 What are we going to say we're for to motivate the masses, right?

00:20:30.720 And by the masses, I mean half the American people that do have a backbone and courage.

00:20:35.480 And the people in my districts, right, they're just all American superheroes.

00:20:41.180 So there is no Churchill standing up right now.

00:20:43.860 President Trump had peace and prosperity for four years.

00:20:46.740 That's the Churchill moment.

00:20:48.220 When you stand up and you pay the price, Churchill went up his entire party system against everybody, against all the generals, against everybody in all the play calls on the wars.

00:20:59.020 He stood up single-handedly against everybody.

00:21:01.120 Who's doing that right now on behalf of the American people?

00:21:03.400 I don't see it.

00:21:07.120 Axios has a story that's popped.

00:21:09.760 I'm sending it to my crack team.

00:21:12.460 Dave, I just sent it to you.

00:21:14.180 It is Hakeem Jeffries emerges as Congress shadow speaker.

00:21:18.300 I don't know if it's just so much as a shadow speaker.

00:21:20.400 First time in the history of this country a minority leader determined what came to the floor. 0.57

00:21:25.620 Look at who is slobbering all over Mike Johnson over the weekend.

00:21:30.440 The worst elements of the Republican Party, the worst elements of the Republican Party, and Mika and Joe and all the mainstream media, they're all saying what a hero. 1.00

00:21:41.220 When people like that say you're a hero, you know the guy's a scumbag. 1.00

00:21:45.380 By definition, you know he's a scumbag. 0.99

00:21:47.580 And now Axios has finally said, put it in print, the choir part out loud, Hakeem Jeffries is the Speaker of the House. 0.99

00:21:55.460 This is why Johnson's got to go.

00:21:57.040 You fire Johnson, you're firing Hakeem Jeffries.

00:21:59.300 He's got to go.

00:22:00.780 You've got Bill Blaster.

00:22:01.740 Okay, this week we need you to pound in your calls and your efforts into your congressman's local office in Johnson because they've all skedaddled.

00:22:10.580 They're not in Washington this week because they want to make sure they're not there to take the heat.

00:22:15.900 They feel by going back to their districts they can hide from you, which we know they can't.

00:22:21.220 112 people voted, no way, we're not doing this.

00:22:24.620 101 voted yes.

00:22:26.320 They're the core of the problem with Johnson and, quite frankly, the leadership team.

00:22:31.700 The leadership team.

00:22:32.480 It's an endemic problem, and they're the problem.

00:22:36.660 They're the problem.

00:22:37.460 Everything else is a symptom of the problem.

00:22:38.960 They don't have the guts to stand in the breach and go, no, we have promised the American people.

00:22:44.220 We've promised the Republican Party.

00:22:46.580 We've promised MAGA.

00:22:48.060 We've promised President Trump.

00:22:49.160 Everybody, we're going to seal the border before any penny.

00:22:51.640 They've kicked the can down the road every time they had opportunity and had full ability,

00:22:56.780 1,000% ability to stop this.

00:23:02.600 To leverage.

00:23:03.140 Let's go to Lower Manhattan.

00:23:04.140 Brett, you hang on.

00:23:05.240 Harnwell's got an amazing story about corruption, about where your money's really going.

00:23:09.260 Ben Burquam, this progressive neo-Marxist, it's filtered down.

00:23:12.400 Remember, all the prosecutors, they all went to Ivy League schools.

00:23:16.020 They're all, you know, the whole system is corrupt.

00:23:18.840 They took five days to pick a jury that's got all Karens on it, all Trump-hating Karens from the Upper West Side 0.52

00:23:25.020 that watch MSNBC and read the New York Times.

00:23:28.220 Oh, yeah, that's an open-minded.

00:23:29.840 They're going to be completely open-minded, totally open-minded.

00:23:32.520 Because New York Times and MSNBC, MSNBC viewers and New York Times, they can be fair.

00:23:38.960 They can be open-minded.

00:23:40.020 They'll get over their inherent hatred of President Trump and hatred of MAGA and hatred,

00:23:46.680 quite frankly, of the United States of America and this republic.

00:23:50.400 Ben Burquam.

00:23:50.940 Yeah, well, it's just like Antifa.

00:23:54.880 They say words are violent, so they have the right to use violence against people whose words they don't like.

00:24:00.940 And just so the American people understand what's happening here, this is not a prosecution.

00:24:05.600 This is a persecution of President Trump.

00:24:07.400 But it's not even about what happens now.

00:24:09.580 This is really about what happens after November 5th and when President Trump takes office again.

00:24:15.320 This is about sending, as you mentioned earlier, you got Antifa, you got BLM, now you got this unholy alliance with Hamas marching in our streets 0.77

00:24:23.340 and 15 million illegals that the Democrats are going to send into the streets to continue the coup that they started under President Trump in his first term.

00:24:31.020 That's all this is about.

00:24:31.920 This is a show trial against President Trump.

00:24:34.220 It's BS from the beginning.

00:24:35.860 The charges were BS from the beginning.

00:24:37.860 The American people understand that.

00:24:39.140 But that doesn't matter anymore.

00:24:40.240 It doesn't matter that they don't actually have a case.

00:24:42.600 It matters that Bragg made a promise to the Democrat voters that he was going to go after President Trump.

00:24:47.660 That's what he's doing now.

00:24:48.840 And that's what this is about.

00:24:49.860 It's about delegitimizing President Trump for the second term, not even about what's happening today.

00:24:54.580 But as we speak, opening statements are happening.

00:24:57.580 We just got word from some of the other camps out here that this may actually end up ending early today, 1230 earlier than you mentioned,

00:25:04.780 because apparently one of the alternate jurors has a dentist appointment.

00:25:08.660 So, you know, President Trump, nope, he can't go see Barron's graduation.

00:25:13.180 But you're an alternate juror and you got a dentist appointment.

00:25:15.640 We'll we'll shut that down.

00:25:16.880 I, you know, I haven't heard that officially confirmed yet, but that's what we're hearing down here on the street.

00:25:21.640 It's just unbelievable.

00:25:23.260 It's supposed to wrap it, too, because of Passover.

00:25:26.600 You're saying now it's going to be 1230 because a juror's got a dental appointment.

00:25:31.020 That's what we're hearing.

00:25:32.380 That's what we're hearing, Steve.

00:25:33.600 That's what we're hearing. 0.95

00:25:34.740 It's just absolutely ludicrous. 0.72

00:25:38.660 You're standing right there with the hyenas of the mainstream media. 0.90

00:25:41.720 How much are they loving this?

00:25:42.840 Just put our audience on the street out there.

00:25:45.700 How much are they loving this?

00:25:48.340 Yeah, well, I'm down at the far end.

00:25:50.180 I'm in the nosebleed section, if you will, of where the press is.

00:25:53.680 But all the way down behind me, all the way down. 0.81

00:25:57.680 This is where the salivating lapdog media is.

00:26:02.260 I mean, they are they are they don't have to use chapstick today.

00:26:07.000 Let's just say that their lips are wet already.

00:26:08.840 These guys are they're loving every second of this.

00:26:11.460 They think this is a continuation of the first two impeachment failed impeachments.

00:26:15.460 You know, this is the it's really the Democrat Party in media form out here outside of us and one or two others.

00:26:24.080 They start they're starting today after opening statements.

00:26:27.120 They're going to start today.

00:26:28.860 And we're going to see if the Trump's lawyers got presence.

00:26:31.580 I mean, I heard they try to do their best, but they got rolled last week.

00:26:35.560 And people I had inside the courtroom said it's the worst thing they've ever seen in New York, a New York courtroom.

00:26:40.900 We just got absolutely rolled.

00:26:42.280 I mean, not that they maybe had a lot of defenses, but these opening statements are very important.

00:26:47.520 Then the first witness of prosecution going to call is David is David Pecker.

00:26:52.000 The David Pecker from the National Enquirer.

00:26:54.620 Is that correct, Ben?

00:26:56.860 Yeah, that's that's what we're hearing again.

00:26:58.460 Yeah, that's what we're hearing again.

00:27:00.500 And but Steve, but keep in mind, think about this.

00:27:02.960 They didn't even let the defense know the three first witnesses.

00:27:07.920 I mean, this is this is really unheard of.

00:27:09.700 So the defense couldn't even set up cross examination.

00:27:13.280 They couldn't decide their questions because they wouldn't let the and then the judge sided with the prosecution that it was right to not let the defense know the first three witnesses the prosecution was going to bring out.

00:27:24.040 Because, you know, maybe Trump sends out a mean tweet about him.

00:27:26.920 I mean, it's just it's crazy.

00:27:28.760 It's absolutely insane.

00:27:30.100 Also, they on the Sandoval rule, they ruled that if President Trump does testify because he wants to testify, if he does testify, they can bring in every other case, every all other lawfare gets dumped in here.

00:27:43.000 The one thing they're showing and you see this in the polling numbers, they're trying to show to their own side that lawfare works, that they couldn't beat Trump fairly.

00:27:51.620 They had to do this.

00:27:52.700 But, hey, guys, it's working because it's working against Trump.

00:27:55.620 That's why Trump needs to go full Trump.

00:27:57.240 We need to go bodega every day.

00:27:59.420 We need we need to show a force in in New York City every day.

00:28:03.080 We need things like that every day.

00:28:04.900 Ben, where do they get your where?

00:28:06.560 Because Ben's also going to maybe go up to Columbia if he can get up there without getting killed.

00:28:10.340 Ben, social media, where do people track you during the day?

00:28:16.480 Yeah, at Ben Burkwam.

00:28:17.980 I'll be posting all day today and tomorrow.

00:28:19.800 I'll be here Wednesday morning as well.

00:28:21.260 And then frontlineamerica.com, americasvoice.news.

00:28:25.480 What's more dangerous, Ben, going up to Columbia and New York City with the anarchy there or the times you're in the Darien Gap?

00:28:33.720 I think they're both equivalent now.

00:28:35.400 We've got the terrorists on our streets.

00:28:37.140 We've invited the terrorists in.

00:28:38.680 So it's exactly.

00:29:56.320 Talk to the consultants, mypatriotsupply.com.

00:29:58.560 So, Joe, I thought it was a tremendously emotional affirmation of the ability of the United States,

00:30:07.300 despite all of our political divisions and difficulties, to get to the right thing,

00:30:13.860 to have a speaker, despite considerable personal danger to him and his speakership,

00:30:21.620 decide that he was going to stand for what was best for the country, not for himself.

00:30:25.640 I think back last month to when I was sitting with President Zelensky in Kiev,

00:30:31.820 talking about what he would do if the USA didn't come soon.

00:30:35.600 And he took out a piece of paper and kind of drew blinds that symbolized the Ukrainian front.

00:30:43.720 He said, without enough ammunition to match the Russians, we're going to have to retreat.

00:30:48.800 We'll have to pull back.

00:30:50.040 You can just see in his eyes what it meant, that this brave struggle was beginning to collapse at the front.

00:30:57.500 So, to get that aid finally, to have people stand up and be counted, starting with Mike Johnson,

00:31:03.860 really meant something.

00:31:04.560 I'll mention one other thing.

00:31:05.840 I was at a social event yesterday with the Ukrainian ambassador,

00:31:10.360 with a lot of the generals in the U.S. military who were most responsible for this war.

00:31:14.760 At a certain point, a performer who was performing for the group sang Amazing Grace,

00:31:20.440 beautifully stretching out every word.

00:31:23.820 And I don't think there was a dry eye in that room listening to this amazing grace

00:31:30.660 that the American political system had delivered, had discovered to pass this aid.

00:31:38.180 So, it's a big deal.

00:31:39.560 The key question, obviously, is how soon can the aid get to the Ukrainian forces?

00:31:45.340 They're getting pounded right now.

00:31:48.620 They're getting pounded, dude, because they don't have any volunteers.

00:31:52.800 Where's the 500,000 young men that are going to volunteer where they didn't volunteer?

00:31:56.520 You know why?

00:31:57.620 Because they don't want to fight for that war.

00:31:59.700 They don't want to fight for Zelensky.

00:32:01.360 So, then they passed this law about drafting.

00:32:06.240 Where are they?

00:32:06.820 Hanwell, we had the article last week in the European paper, said, or New York Times, excuse me.

00:32:13.880 They're swimming over.

00:32:14.740 They're running away as fast as possible.

00:32:16.300 It's $10,000 for their parents to buy them out from the draft.

00:32:20.220 The key point, they don't have any troops.

00:32:21.700 David Ignatius, he is the mouthpiece for the Langley Bugle,

00:32:26.400 heretofore referred to as the Washington Post.

00:32:28.880 He's the CIA's guy.

00:32:31.340 They're listening to Amazing Grace, and they got tears running down their face.

00:32:34.900 Isn't that very moving?

00:32:35.760 I'm incredibly moved.

00:32:37.980 I'm touched.

00:32:39.380 I really am touched.

00:32:41.340 I'm touched.

00:32:42.080 You know, tears came to my eyes when I saw the Ukrainian flags.

00:32:47.180 A sacrilege on the floor of the House.

00:32:51.540 Because they're more for the Ukraine. 1.00

00:32:53.200 They're more for the Zelensky. 0.99

00:32:55.620 These are the guys, the Addams Family Democrats that are doing that.

00:32:59.040 Remember, not one of them are the people they were, but not one of them ever backed Reagan

00:33:03.200 for one second and taking down the Bolsheviks and taking down the Soviet Union. 0.53

00:33:07.420 And why is that?

00:33:08.060 It's interesting.

00:33:08.480 Why would people that supported the Bolsheviks against President Reagan when he's trying to take down the evil empire, 0.97

00:33:14.960 like Jamie Raskin's Marxist father, Marxist father, collaborator, traitor father,

00:33:20.940 why does red diaper babies like Jamie Raskin, why do they hate the Russian people? 0.55

00:33:27.760 Now, hmm, curious minds want to know, inquiring minds want to know.

00:33:32.840 Jack Posobiec, you're an intelligence officer, specialist, and particularly, you know, Eastern Europe, as well as you know the CCP.

00:33:39.040 I want to go through just systematically, these are Mike Johnson's words, what his road to Damascus, his Damascene moment, his road to Kiev,

00:33:51.320 this Churchill-like figure that came to us from the backwaters of Louisiana, but then rose to his moment.

00:34:00.400 It's because the intelligence services were able to brief him on what happened.

00:34:07.820 And his fear is in Poland and Moldovia and the Balkans and Finland.

00:34:13.740 Sir, can you take those in order?

00:34:15.840 Because this is a lie.

00:34:19.000 And if it's not a lie, they could get enough D-class out there to show you to back it up, and they can't.

00:34:25.220 That's why you don't hear anything about it.

00:34:26.700 That's why they only brief members of Congress.

00:34:29.840 The IDF intelligence officer just fell on his sword because of his failures on October 7th.

00:34:36.400 Well, whoa, DNI, CIA, DIA, we got five times more assets in the region, right, in Qatar, in UAE, in Saudi Arabia, in Egypt, to know what's happening.

00:34:50.860 And it's a bigger failure for American intelligence that once again were caught flat-footed.

00:34:57.620 Jack Posovic.

00:35:00.440 Well, Steve, there's a lot to look in here, but, you know, I got to say, I don't know how this Alinsky guy is going to do on the battlefield, but I got to tell you, the next time I got one of my media contracts coming up, I'm definitely calling him in as the negotiator. 0.93

00:35:15.940 I mean, this guy, Steve, he just doesn't lose.

00:35:18.660 He's a rainmaker in there.

00:35:20.260 How does he do it?

00:35:22.240 He goes in there.

00:35:23.480 Not only does he get the $60 billion, he goes and gets everyone flying his flag on the other side of the negotiating table.

00:35:31.220 Look, what people need to understand that this isn't $60 billion that's going to change anything on the battlefield.

00:35:38.140 It's not going to change anything when it comes to the outcome of this war.

00:35:42.060 What it is, is a $60 billion donation to Joe Biden's re-election campaign.

00:35:50.320 Why?

00:35:50.920 Because he doesn't want to go Kiev to go to the way of Kabul in the middle of a re-election, in the middle of the debates where President Trump can turn and point to everybody what's going on with people hanging off the wheels and tires of the aircraft like we saw coming out of Kabul.

00:36:05.660 Look, Steve, the idea, it's ridiculous on its face right now that NATO exists in order to take war, proxy war, to Russia.

00:36:18.560 Because let's call this what it is.

00:36:19.840 This is a proxy war.

00:36:21.620 The United States and NATO, that's the European allies, but the U.S. is paying for it.

00:36:26.320 I'm not sure why the Europeans aren't paying anything for this when they've got far more money than the average American does.

00:36:33.280 That what we're seeing is, is that they're using the Ukrainians as the sacrificial lambs to go up against Russia, to try to deplete Russia. 0.97

00:36:44.740 But the problem is in the pudding, Steve, because even if, even if, let's say, let's say Russia goes in, let's say Kiev falls, Russia goes into Poland, Article 5 gets, gets kicked off.

00:36:57.480 Where's the shells coming from?

00:36:59.500 Where's the artillery coming from?

00:37:01.880 The West does not have the manufacturing capability to produce that.

00:37:07.540 And you better believe that the Chinese are going to be in a little bit of a box if something like that comes off. 0.99

00:37:12.920 That's why it's ridiculous. 0.95

00:37:15.380 That's why it would go to missiles. 0.95

00:37:18.040 That's why it would go nuclear very, very quickly.

00:37:21.060 Because all the countries you just mentioned, Finland, Poland, Baltics are all NATO.

00:37:27.900 Poland is, right now, you've seen the combat capability of Russia, which can't even get it rolling in Ukraine. 0.64

00:37:36.500 Do you see where, are they a media threat to Poland or the Balkans or Moldavia or any of this stuff?

00:37:43.900 See, Russia hasn't even taken over the completion of those four provinces, the four oblasts that they annexed at the beginning of this war two years ago.

00:37:56.080 That's the level of mobilization we've seen from Russia right now.

00:37:59.600 Of the four provinces that they've annexed, they've only fully taken over one, Lugansk, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, and Kherson to the south are still at play when it comes to this.

00:38:14.200 And you've seen these incremental moves.

00:38:15.780 It's Zelensky, on the other hand, who's sending all of his military over to be torn up in the meat grinder of the Russian military forces. 0.88

00:38:25.980 That's why you haven't seen Russia roll over, because their entire focus is on these four provinces. 0.68

00:38:31.960 And Zelensky, for whatever reason, seems more than willing to send his own people to go and die.

00:38:38.280 And, of course, our government is more than happy to do so and more than happy to write the checks in order to do so. 0.99

00:38:44.580 It's ridiculous. It's disgusting. 0.99

00:38:47.180 The people who are dying on the battlefield are Ukrainians.

00:38:50.680 And now Zelensky passes the new law to lower the mobilization age.

00:38:55.160 And, Steve, let's be very clear about this.

00:38:56.540 This isn't draft.

00:38:57.940 This isn't like, oh, we're going to come out to the schools and offer some, you know, offer people, you know, college credit if you want to come join in tuition and a GI bill.

00:39:07.660 And let's know this is conscription.

00:39:09.880 That's the actual translation of what's going on.

00:39:12.300 It's conscription.

00:39:13.140 They are going to be conscripting teenagers now because they've run out of everyone else.

00:39:18.760 How do you make the average age of the Ukrainian military units younger?

00:39:22.700 You introduce younger and younger people.

00:39:25.800 That's what's going on here.

00:39:27.260 That's what Americans are paying for.

00:39:29.100 That's what's going on.

00:39:29.740 And again, just like and you could, you know, you could talk to talk to Poland about how it goes when a Slavic country takes the deal that's being offered by Western Europe.

00:39:39.100 Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll take the alliance.

00:39:41.260 Who's the one who ends up getting torn up?

00:39:43.220 Who's the one who ends up getting torn up between the two armies when they're fighting?

00:39:46.360 It's the people who are fighting in the middle.

00:39:48.480 Go talk to the Poland, the Polish, the Belarusians and any Ukrainian who's old enough to remember World War Two.

00:39:55.460 And believe me, there's plenty of people over there who are.

00:39:57.860 They are the ones who get torn up whenever the Western and Eastern empires rumble.

00:40:02.560 Jack, I want to bring in Ben Harnwell from Rome, lead story in the Financial Times Day.

00:40:09.100 Ben, and if Denver could put it up, Ben, explain to this.

00:40:12.700 I want to have Poso comment on it.

00:40:14.880 What's this story about, about corruption and money being stolen out of out of Ukraine?

00:40:20.120 Morning, Steve.

00:40:20.820 Morning, Jack.

00:40:21.340 It's a horrific story.

00:40:22.500 There's this guy called Anolf Damerau.

00:40:25.460 He's a German, an Anglo-German businessman who's been investing in Ukraine for three years.

00:40:30.480 And he's got this online gambling thing going.

00:40:34.840 He paid his 60 million in taxes last year.

00:40:38.740 It was signed off by the Ukrainian IRS.

00:40:41.800 And then what happens?

00:40:42.640 In October, he's hit for a 560 million tax evasion case.

00:40:51.580 And members of the security services, this is what the FT, I'm quoting the FT here.

00:40:54.880 Members of the security services and explicitly, it says it, President Zelensky's administration, then went up to this guy in Vienna.

00:41:04.620 This guy, he's got the photos of the meeting.

00:41:06.500 He secretly recorded it.

00:41:07.980 And they basically said, look, we can make all these legal things go away.

00:41:11.660 But you've got to transfer the legal ownership of this company into a trust which will set up for you, an offshore trust for us.

00:41:19.020 We want 50 percent, Steve.

00:41:20.720 That's the upshot of this.

00:41:21.660 That we were wrong.

00:41:23.700 We've been calling President Zelensky 10 percent for the last two years.

00:41:27.380 We underestimated the guy.

00:41:29.140 This guy is a professional.

00:41:30.480 He wants 50 percent.

00:41:33.000 David Ignatius was wrong as well.

00:41:34.940 They weren't singing Amazing Grace.

00:41:36.520 They were singing Amazing Grift.

00:41:40.280 Amazing.

00:41:40.820 Hang on for one second.

00:41:41.860 Jack, the oligarchs there, the corruption there, we've got no accounting.

00:41:46.620 Chip Roy came out and said, hey, of the first 125 we sent, or 129, only like 47 or 50 billion has gone to the battlefield.

00:41:54.560 The rest has gone to support the Ukrainian government, which they're stealing with both hands.

00:41:59.140 Your assessment of the promises Johnson made to secure the border, we haven't done one thing, only been performative, not one.

00:42:06.080 They're still coming across at 5,000 to 10,000 a day versus Ukraine.

00:42:10.140 The enormity of this surrender by Johnson and his crew.

00:42:15.240 Yeah.

00:42:16.620 I mean, Steve, I'm not really sure what else you can call it.

00:42:19.280 I've said before that this was a $60 billion campaign donation to Joe Biden, and that's exactly what it is.

00:42:26.120 He gave Biden and Hakeem Jeffries every single thing they asked for.

00:42:30.500 And keep in mind that there was no negotiation here.

00:42:33.440 There was no negotiation on the border.

00:42:35.120 There was no negotiated leverage.

00:42:37.120 There wasn't even discussion of lowering the number from $60 billion to $30 billion.

00:42:42.600 You may have gotten more MAGA on board if you lower the number down and then put something in for the other side.

00:42:49.420 There was none of that.

00:42:50.800 It's as simple as this.

00:42:52.940 I don't see how the political position of the speakership is untenable.

00:42:58.660 It's completely untenable.

00:43:02.600 You agree with War Room.

00:43:04.560 There's no chance he can stay.

00:43:05.760 To stay is an abomination. 0.99

00:43:07.240 It's a McCarthy left because he was a liar. 1.00

00:43:10.240 Johnson's actually a worse liar and a bigger coward than McCarthy. 1.00

00:43:13.880 And that's hard to imagine because- 1.00

00:43:15.640 And the only lifeline he has is the Democrats, and that means they're just going to own him about right.

00:43:21.840 Yes.

00:43:22.660 Jack, I know you've got some big interviews coming today.

00:43:25.040 We'll let you go.

00:43:26.000 You're going to be live at 2 o'clock?

00:43:28.340 We'll be live at 2 o'clock.

00:43:29.920 We've actually got Liz Truss on. 1.00

00:43:31.720 Ben, I'll be sure to pass your best wishes.

00:43:36.200 Thank you very much, Ben.

00:43:39.400 Jack, we're going to have Liz on, I think, later in the week. 0.86

00:43:41.640 Obviously, Poso gets all the best interviews first, and then they come to War Room.

00:43:46.760 Thank you very much for taking time away, Jack.

00:43:48.780 I know you're really pressed for time today.

00:43:50.120 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:43:51.500 Back with Dave Bratt, Ben Harnwell.

00:45:58.180 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:46:06.920 Okay, if you think it's—is it not turbulent enough for you?

00:46:10.960 Well, it's only going to get more turbulent.

00:46:12.480 That's why everybody needs a hedge against this turbulence, particularly financially.

00:46:17.360 Go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.

00:46:19.580 We've put out the fifth installment of End of the Dollar Empire.

00:46:24.440 It's all free.

00:46:26.040 If you haven't gotten the first four installments,

00:46:27.680 in fact, I was autographing some of those,

00:46:29.380 and people brought it to the Gladiator School last week.

00:46:32.720 You print it out, put it in your notebook, make notes.

00:46:34.920 The fifth installment is unbelievable.

00:46:36.720 It's about the central bank digital currency

00:46:38.600 and why the de-dollarization movement's taking—getting steam,

00:46:44.260 and quite frankly, why other central banks are buying gold at record rates.

00:46:48.680 You need to understand this.

00:46:49.660 We're going to teach you the macro.

00:46:52.280 Philip Patrick and the team is there to talk to you about the macro

00:46:55.020 and all types of tax-deferred instruments they have.

00:46:58.240 So birchgold.com slash Bannon.

00:47:01.240 Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.

00:47:02.620 One of the things we do with the sponsors is make sure the senior personnel

00:47:04.900 are available to the war room posse to engage.

00:47:08.400 We want to immerse you in information.

00:47:10.020 Then you make your own choices because you know why?

00:47:12.100 You're free men and free women. 0.99

00:47:13.580 At least we are for some time, right, until we're defeated,

00:47:18.580 which will not be defeated if we don't quit.

00:47:21.660 It's over when we say it's over.

00:47:23.900 Dave Bratt, your thoughts on this topic about, of course,

00:47:28.660 $2 trillion deficit we just put the ink to.

00:47:32.660 Right now they're talking—they don't want to talk the top-line number

00:47:35.020 because it'll be over 7 trillion.

00:47:36.180 It's going to be another $2 trillion deficit.

00:47:37.780 They just gave Ukraine $60 billion.

00:47:42.320 He didn't negotiate one element of it, didn't take anything back.

00:47:46.280 They got a very dangerous thing called the REPO Act in the middle of this, too,

00:47:50.660 which is stealing the Russian people's assets 0.90

00:47:54.340 and using them to give to Ukrainians

00:47:56.920 because they know they're going to have to come back

00:47:59.260 for hundreds of billions of more dollars,

00:48:00.920 so they want to steal as much as possible.

00:48:02.280 First time the United States has ever done that,

00:48:04.220 including against the Nazis or Imperial Japan.

00:48:06.440 And your thoughts, Dave Bratt?

00:48:09.420 Yeah, what you just said matters.

00:48:11.500 First time in American history, right?

00:48:13.440 The one thing that links all these issues

00:48:16.280 is there's a complete absence of thinking.

00:48:19.300 And I'm deadly serious there.

00:48:20.600 You could go do a whole show on that.

00:48:22.220 But thinking through and analyzing the historical implications

00:48:25.860 of what's going to happen.

00:48:27.400 So when you go after this REPO and you steal people's money,

00:48:31.220 gee, other smart people, right?

00:48:33.400 The Chinese are smart.

00:48:34.520 The rest of the world's got very smart economists

00:48:36.520 in all the countries I used to work with them all,

00:48:38.280 the World Bank, et cetera.

00:48:39.940 They can figure this stuff out in five seconds.

00:48:41.880 And then there's huge global reverberations,

00:48:44.420 similar to President Trump.

00:48:46.180 People think this is just some little political hack show.

00:48:48.980 No.

00:48:49.700 When you attack someone's private property

00:48:53.180 with just grotesque claims,

00:48:56.260 New York City, right?

00:48:57.520 The business, the capitalists up there,

00:48:59.380 they're doing the math.

00:49:00.620 Uh-oh.

00:49:01.020 Why do you think Florida's getting so crowded, right?

00:49:03.020 So the long-term implications are huge.

00:49:06.340 And if Denver just wants to put up a couple quick charts,

00:49:09.760 I can show you the historical implications.

00:49:12.820 Here's number one.

00:49:13.780 Go back to look at World War II, 1945.

00:49:17.400 Defense is 90% of government spending.

00:49:21.420 90% of government spending.

00:49:22.700 That's not going to happen again.

00:49:24.220 But I'm just saying,

00:49:25.200 everybody that's in a rush to war,

00:49:27.200 if you get to war, here's what it looks like, right?

00:49:30.460 And I'll get to the deaths in one second.

00:49:32.380 Chart number two, what's the expected future

00:49:36.200 based on historical thinking for the American people

00:49:39.880 if you go to war?

00:49:40.840 There's World War II again. 0.81

00:49:42.820 GDP goes up.

00:49:44.580 That's not the real economy.

00:49:46.300 That's the government borrowing,

00:49:47.800 going into debt to go to war.

00:49:49.260 The real economy is right underneath it.

00:49:51.500 Capital, private capital investment goes down

00:49:54.340 and stays down and never returns to trend.

00:49:57.900 If you look at that graph carefully,

00:49:59.480 and I'll post those in case you don't have Superman vision.

00:50:03.000 And then down at the bottom for the American people,

00:50:04.820 if that's not bad enough,

00:50:05.740 your consumption goes down and stays down

00:50:08.600 and never returns to trend.

00:50:10.160 That's your welfare.

00:50:11.880 So the people going through this saying,

00:50:13.980 let's go to war.

00:50:14.880 We're going to buy bullets that we blow up.

00:50:17.500 And there's nothing in return for that, right?

00:50:19.580 That's not investment in your future

00:50:21.620 in the capital plant of United States of America.

00:50:23.680 It's a total waste of money.

00:50:26.340 The American people are going to pay for it. 0.58

00:50:27.900 And on the moral front, the Judeo-Christian peace,

00:50:31.280 we had peace and prosperity four years ago, folks.

00:50:33.980 Think about that.

00:50:35.040 The left makes a moral case for the illegal immigrants. 0.95

00:50:38.740 They're all children of God.

00:50:40.580 I keep that in the back of my head.

00:50:41.940 We did not have the invasion four years ago.

00:50:44.340 But now, who's thinking of the 500,000 Ukrainian kids,

00:50:48.720 right, the United Nations has 10,000 people killed

00:50:53.080 or injured or whatever.

00:50:54.580 The New York Times has 500,000.

00:50:57.080 So right off the bat, the information flow is immoral.

00:51:00.700 But who's got the best interests of those little kids

00:51:03.520 that are going off into war and getting shot up?

00:51:06.600 Nobody.

00:51:07.540 It's, for me, I don't get it.

00:51:09.660 It's morally grotesque.

00:51:12.440 I don't know what we're doing.

00:51:14.160 All this was avoidable.

00:51:15.400 The border invasion was avoidable.

00:51:17.460 The wars were all avoidable.

00:51:19.220 And I don't get how we got here.

00:51:22.660 I don't think it is avoidable.

00:51:24.340 I think unless you take down this system,

00:51:26.540 unless you break the back of these neo-Marxists

00:51:29.460 that are combined with the tech feudalists

00:51:31.560 in Silicon Valley and the lords of easy money

00:51:34.460 and Wall Street, unless you break that system,

00:51:37.040 this is not only avoidable, it is the way the system works.

00:51:42.580 You saw it in all high relief last week.

00:51:45.000 With all the evidence, sit there with promises

00:51:48.080 and promises and promises and promises and commitments

00:51:51.360 that nothing would happen before the southern border.

00:51:54.680 He would look in the camera.

00:51:56.260 And this is a guy with a Christian worldview.

00:51:58.580 He'd look you in the eye and lie to you

00:52:00.800 like a used car salesman.

00:52:02.500 Would sit there.

00:52:04.000 This is just for the budget.

00:52:05.660 Then with Ukraine, nothing's going to happen. 0.97

00:52:07.760 Nothing will ever happen until we secure the border.

00:52:10.920 The border is not only not secured,

00:52:12.900 they've given him money to exacerbate the invasion.

00:52:16.480 This is the way the system works.

00:52:18.840 This is why you've got to keep churning through these guys

00:52:21.600 until you get MAGA warriors in there.

00:52:23.780 People talk a little bit about the softness of President Trump's numbers,

00:52:27.620 and they have gotten soft in the last week or so.

00:52:29.660 It's because the only thing that wins here is full MAGA.

00:52:33.060 You go full MAGA, you win.

00:52:34.780 You'll bring in 50%, 60% of the country.

00:52:37.860 You saw up there the bodega run when they're five and six deep.

00:52:40.520 If you try to mollify it and try to play ball with the establishment

00:52:44.240 and do what the establishment does,

00:52:45.800 the question to Johnson is, one,

00:52:47.700 did you look at any intelligence on the southern border

00:52:49.540 or are you telling us that that's not as bad as what you saw about Russia?

00:52:53.740 And please give us what you saw about Russia

00:52:55.900 because Poland's a lie. 0.84

00:52:58.940 Balkans is a lie. 1.00

00:53:00.340 It's all a lie. 0.95

00:53:01.540 It's spun by the intelligence services

00:53:03.540 who just had another epic fail

00:53:06.460 regarding the Muslim Brotherhood's attack,

00:53:08.740 which they planned.

00:53:10.180 Remember, you have intelligence services

00:53:12.020 you're spending hundreds of billions of dollars for

00:53:14.640 that couldn't find out

00:53:16.280 that Hamas was training in broad daylight,

00:53:19.280 funded by Qatar,

00:53:20.820 funded by the Muslim Brotherhood,

00:53:22.360 with people in Egypt giving them money

00:53:23.980 and training and logistics and all of that.

00:53:26.540 They missed the entire thing, right?

00:53:29.740 Well, that's the best case.

00:53:31.340 The worst case is, hey, maybe they were in on it.

00:53:34.000 We don't know because we haven't had an investigation.

00:53:36.120 And you can't take anything the intelligence services say

00:53:40.400 on the face of it.

00:53:42.060 Polly Pockets doesn't understand that 0.95

00:53:43.600 because it's the first time he's ever really got a briefing.

00:53:47.180 Okay, 90-second break.

00:53:48.340 I'm going to come back.

00:53:49.040 I've got MTG.

00:53:50.080 Maybe have a couple of three senators. 0.98

00:53:52.520 Brad's going to stick with me.

00:53:53.640 Harnwell's going to stick with me.

00:54:00.200 True or false?

00:54:01.960 Using your tax refund to pay off credit card debt
