Bannon's War Room - Episode 3744： US Continues To Look Weak On The World Stage At NATO 75

00:00:00.000 Great show. Thank you, Terrence. Thank you, Brian. Great job. All right, Dave Brat sitting in for the one and only Stephen K. Bannon. We always pay special tribute and respect to Stephen. We open every show in the D.C. His chair always has the sign of the cross behind him. So we open every show until Steve returns in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

00:00:23.580 What you just heard on the prior show was a truth bombs across the board. And that's what's so great about this America First project. We're not scared of the truth. The truth sets you free in the end. And it may not be easy in the short run like we just discussed.

00:00:42.200 The school tragedies and the kids in the K-12 system are just trapped. Endless wars, debt deficits. These are big Herculean lifts we have ahead of us. But I want to welcome to the show right off the bat, Darren Beattie is with us.

00:01:01.080 And I wanted, Darren, to kind of tee off on some of the—there's so much politics to keep up with right now. But, you know, the Democrat presidential race, many people watching may not be aware of all the historic tensions between the Clintons and the Obamas and the Bidens and Jill Biden and the Hunter Laptop. There's so many angles there. Darren, what's your best reporting, Ben, on all of that side of the aisle, for starters?

00:01:31.080 Well, you know, the Democrat Party, sometimes it can seem it, but it's not actually monolithic. And just like the deep state itself, there are many subfactions within the Democrat Party, within the various Democrat patronage families. It's like even the mafia famously had five families, right?

00:01:52.080 So Trump, thankfully, knocked out two of the most famous political mafia families, namely the Clintons and the Bushes. But still, there's a looming presence. And in particular, in the Democrat Party, there's been a lot of pressure, of course, for Biden to step aside.

00:02:13.620 Now, I've been very public for quite a while now in saying that Biden is going to resist this vigorously and probably won't end up stepping aside unless there's some kind of catastrophic medical issue that forces him to.

00:02:28.060 But he's not going to listen to pressure. He's not going to listen to, I don't know if you could call it reason, because there is, frankly, a very good case to be made that the Democrats are worse off replacing him at this late hour than they would be trying their chances with this sort of weekend Ed Bernie's approach,

00:02:48.060 just keeping him out of the limelight as much as possible and dragging him over the finish line if they can do it.

00:02:54.560 So I actually think if I were the Democrats, I would want to keep Biden in simply because as bad as Biden looks against Trump, they're in an even worse position to have to replace him at this late hour and all of the chaos that that would engender.

00:03:11.380 Yeah, I've agreed with your analysis there. And it's interesting this morning, I think James Carville came out with a piece and he wants to have a no holds barred, eight Democratic candidate open house forum debate on the most serious issues of our day.

00:03:32.300 And I think the strategy there is to bypass the vice president, Kamala Harris. And and so he he says, you know, thesis statement, Biden cannot win.

00:03:46.300 And so right now, if you share that that idea that Biden can't win, do you think there is a possibility they open up the convention for this type of national debate?

00:03:57.740 Well, I think they're probably right that Biden can't win, but I still think Biden has the best chance of winning relative to, again, this late hour replacement and Carville seems to be in fantasy land, especially if he thinks they're going to replace Biden by someone who isn't Kamala.

00:04:17.400 You know, Kamala is famously detested by just about everyone within the Democrat Party. 0.99

00:04:24.680 But recently, I think you noticed and everyone noticed there was a big push. Kamala was flexing and you had major African-American leaders come out and say, look, if there are any would be puppeteers who are thinking of a situation in which we replace Biden by someone who isn't Kamala, you better think again.

00:04:47.400 Kamala is the heir apparent and she's next in line. Now, there may have been a variety of motivations for that.

00:04:55.060 Maybe Kamala actually thought she was making a move. But in effect, what she was doing is reinforcing her position as Joe Biden's insurance policy, because she's saying, I'm not going to go quietly.

00:05:08.260 And therefore, people are going to say, oh, my God, if we want to get rid of Joe, we're going to have to deal with Kamala.

00:05:14.240 It's going to be even more of a nightmare on top of all the other problems attendant to this late hour chaotic replacement fantasy. 0.68

00:05:24.260 So they're just damned if they do, damned if they don't. And I think they won't do it.

00:05:30.940 They'll go for the path of least resistance and hope that Biden can make it.

00:05:36.620 And by make it, I mean that in a literal sense, make it without any kind of catastrophic medical failure.

00:05:41.760 And still, you know, they have structural aspects working in their favor.

00:05:46.440 The media will, you know, even though it's pushing against Biden now, the media will ultimately favor whoever the Democrat is, likely Biden.

00:05:55.220 They have all kinds of shenanigans going on, you know, relevant to these, the border people coming in through the border and various ways that they can rig the election through that.

00:06:07.800 But they're they're in a tough spot because, you know, I think 2020 was a high watermark for election rigging.

00:06:14.240 They're not going to have the mass mail in ballots. They don't have covid like they did in 2020.

00:06:19.100 They don't have censorship like they did in 2020.

00:06:22.080 All of the files came out, the Twitter files and so forth.

00:06:26.180 Twitter is now under new management. So, yes, there will be censorship.

00:06:30.240 But 2020 was a high watermark. So in terms of censorship, in terms of election rigging, 2020 was the high watermark.

00:06:38.060 And now they're stuck with a guy who is clearly mentally disabled, clearly not functional, but they're stuck in a position where they can't really get rid of him. 0.83

00:06:45.800 So they're in a very, very bad bind here.

00:06:48.720 They're in a very unenviable position and everybody knows it.

00:06:54.440 Yep. Spot on. Let me, Darren, you're kind of the cream of the crop when it comes to the three letter agencies and the globalist forces, the elitist forces.

00:07:05.280 It's hard to track down exactly what that means.

00:07:08.420 There's a lot of complexity there. I mean, you've got Soros, you've got Davos, you've got the defense establishment, you've got China and all those minions and funding.

00:07:18.380 You've got the CIA, the FBI, the State Department. And give us your best sense of this is not going to be a clean transition, right?

00:07:31.440 No one's going to lay down all of these powerful billionaire forces, right?

00:07:35.820 So who's a proxy for what? When it comes to these globalists, the Clinton administration, who are they with the Obamas?

00:07:45.380 Who are they with Biden? Who wants to see him continue in power, maybe because they're getting their way with him?

00:07:52.360 And so that's a big, huge question. But you've been on this from the beginning and the posse's fascinated with these globalist elitist forces that haven't been perfectly specified yet.

00:08:07.940 Well, that's a much larger conversation, the various factions of the regime and of the deep state.

00:08:14.640 As per Biden, I think it's a more simple answer is to say that the people invested in Biden's continued presence in the White House are the people who directly benefit from that.

00:08:27.300 And that's famously Jill Biden and his immediate family.

00:08:30.640 But it extends outward to Biden's inner circle and even a lot of people like at the periphery, not even an inner circle, maybe the middle circle.

00:08:40.540 And that's, I think, something that was overlooked in a lot of the early enthusiasm for this idea that the Democrats, the amorphous, ambiguous they, quote unquote, would get rid of them.

00:08:52.560 Well, who are the they? Once you look at who the people actually are, the people, for instance, in the DNC who would have to vote to change the rules to get rid of them, they're stacked with Biden loyalists.

00:09:04.660 And so one thing that's pretty reliable in politics is people don't want anything to happen that reduces their power, their access and their influence.

00:09:16.420 And so notwithstanding all of the pretty talk about what's good for the country, which is probably the last thing on the agenda, certainly for any of these Democrats, you can't expect these people within Biden's inner circle to act against their own interests and push him out and then go out the door with him.

00:09:36.520 It's just that doesn't work that way.

00:09:38.380 So there's not an incentive alignment.

00:09:42.700 And then you have people, I think, who are more shrewd within the Democrat Party who realize as bad as it is and as bad as it looks to have Biden in there, it's going to be even worse to have this last minute chaotic thing where they can't even agree on somebody.

00:09:59.180 They get rid of him, either replace him by Kamala, who everyone hates and who's even less popular than a brain dead Biden, or overstep Kamala and rattle the hornet's nest even more of the base and maybe aggrieved minorities who think they're getting the short shrift.

00:10:15.580 So, again, it's a really bad position.

00:10:18.400 They could have avoided this had they only had this conversation a year ago.

00:10:23.120 And ironically, as I've stated, it was the media that was majorly complicit in gaslighting their own people, gaslighting their own Democrats by rejecting any reports about Biden's ill health, ill mental health and condition as conspiracy theory.

00:10:42.300 But if they had embraced this conspiracy theory, which turned out to be fact, like many conspiracy theories, they could have actually salvaged 2024 for themselves.

00:10:52.240 They didn't. And so there's this delicious irony of, for once, the mainstream media and its lies, they end up shooting themselves in their in the foot and probably losing the 2024 election over it.

00:11:05.700 So we can actually thank the media for for losing the 2024 election for the Democrats.

00:11:14.300 Right. Excellent, Darren. Great analysis, as always.

00:11:17.480 I'll get you back on tomorrow, maybe go a little more in depth on the transition from the globalist forces under Clinton and then to Obama and then under Biden and then Israel.

00:11:29.220 I wanted to get one last in there. But how do people get you?

00:11:32.020 We're going to go to Jane Zirkle and the Trump rally up there at Doral.

00:11:36.420 So give us your coordinates.

00:11:39.140 Coordinates, as always, revolver.news for the hottest and the latest cutting edge analysis, news reporting on everything.

00:11:45.660 I'm on Twitter, also known as X at Darren J.

00:11:49.340 BD, D-A-R-R-E-N-J-B-E-A-T-T-I-E. 1.00

00:11:54.960 Great. Thank you very much, Darren. Thank you for being with us on The War Room.

00:11:59.760 All right, folks, we're going to be going to Doral after the break, but I'll just we just got put on hold for a minute.

00:12:06.700 They're praying at Doral. So we're there in spirit with them right now in The War Room.

00:12:11.540 Today, some economic pieces out. I go out to the Hill.

00:12:15.660 There's some good analysis of the cracks in the banking system.

00:12:20.560 Over 2,600 banks in stress test problems, three or 400 in serious shape.

00:12:28.860 Goldman Sachs fails a stress test out in the headlines today.

00:12:32.800 That's a fascinating piece of news.

00:12:34.340 And so the markets are going straight up.

00:12:37.980 I'll get back into that a little bit later in the show.

00:12:40.880 But a lot of that's due to the Federal Reserve printing of money and the two trillion dollar deficits.

00:12:46.260 And so we should expect the economy to be moving.

00:12:48.740 But the only thing that's moving is government spending in the economy.

00:12:52.960 That's not the real economy.

00:12:54.440 So back in The War Room right after the break and up to Doral.

00:12:58.520 The elites are getting desperate.

00:13:03.380 They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own Orwellian purposes.

00:13:07.840 Their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank digital currencies, which they control.

00:13:15.880 Imagine your every purchase being called into question.

00:13:18.900 Your every move tracked like you live in a communist country.

00:13:22.640 This is not the America we want, but it is the America they want to create.

00:13:27.180 Fortunately, you can fight back.

00:13:29.640 I believe owning gold is the best solution.

00:13:31.980 Why?

00:13:32.340 Because it keeps you in control and safeguards your savings.

00:13:35.840 Plus, with a gold IRA from Birch Gold, you can move your IRA or 401k into physical gold without paying any taxes or penalties.

00:14:14.600 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

00:14:17.020 Back in the war room with Stephen K. Band and Dave Bratt.

00:14:25.280 We're bringing in Jane Zirkle from Doral in a minute.

00:14:28.700 I think they're still going through the prayer and the national anthem.

00:14:32.800 And so we're with them in spirit.

00:14:35.540 In the meantime, I'm going to pull in our China expert, Bradley Thayer.

00:14:39.620 But he's also an expert on all things international.

00:14:42.940 And right now, the NATO meetings are going on.

00:14:45.580 There's so many ways of attacking that issue, right?

00:14:49.500 I saw today headlines on 700 million in Stinger missiles the U.S. is paying for.

00:14:56.920 I saw the spokesman for the Biden administration saying that thanks to the Biden administration,

00:15:04.580 Europe is finally paying their dues.

00:15:07.540 It seems like that pressure was put on prior to me.

00:15:10.800 There's the defense establishment.

00:15:13.300 A lot of folks are making, in my mind, morally grotesque arguments about this war,

00:15:20.220 that it's good for the economy.

00:15:21.980 That's a reason to go to war. 0.99

00:15:24.380 And then even worse than that, well, don't worry.

00:15:26.420 You know, your U.S. kids aren't dying, right?

00:15:28.460 They're dying for us.

00:15:29.920 The Ukrainian kids are dying. 1.00

00:15:31.780 So don't worry about it.

00:15:32.860 And so I wanted to cover that broad swath issues.

00:15:36.600 No one better than Bradley Thayer.

00:15:38.240 Bradley, welcome to the war room as usual.

00:15:40.840 And why don't you guide us in a little conversation?

00:15:43.360 We'll go back and forth.

00:15:45.160 Sure, Dave.

00:15:45.940 It's great to join you again.

00:15:48.040 I think the NATO summit's important for U.S. domestic reasons, but then also for international

00:15:54.480 reasons, and then also where the domestic and the international come together.

00:15:59.480 First, the domestic.

00:16:00.540 It's always a high wire act whenever Biden is out in public.

00:16:06.320 And clearly, many Democrats have said his performance at the NATO summit is going to inform, again,

00:16:15.800 the debates that they're having within the party about replacing him or not.

00:16:19.800 It's not a good position for the U.S. to be in at a NATO summit, obviously.

00:16:24.940 It's a major national security concern, as we've stressed.

00:16:28.380 Secondly, there's the international component to this, and that is where NATO is doing what

00:16:34.280 it can do, again, to creep up and to push escalation of this war between Russia and Ukraine.

00:16:42.380 And so NATO is announcing in the summit the next three days, today, Wednesday and Thursday,

00:16:50.000 measures that it's taking to facilitate, to have an office in Kyiv,

00:16:55.720 to create a new command based in Germany to facilitate training and to facilitate arms transfers.

00:17:03.320 There's going to be a logistical hub also created.

00:17:08.300 There's financial support as well that NATO is advancing.

00:17:12.180 So there's a package, really, of events that they're advancing forward.

00:17:16.280 But the key international issue is going to be, what do they tell Zelensky about membership?

00:17:23.180 And can they basically placate him so he doesn't repeat what he did at the last summit,

00:17:29.500 Vilnius summit in 2013, where he roundly criticized NATO for not giving him a path to membership?

00:17:37.340 So the debate within NATO is about whether you give, what type of commitments you give to Ukraine,

00:17:43.600 do you give him a path to membership or do you give him something short of that?

00:17:48.080 And is he going to go along with it?

00:17:49.800 And then finally, there's where the domestic international meet.

00:17:53.820 And there's lots of pressure.

00:17:55.440 Hey, Bradley, let me hold you up.

00:17:56.680 Hold that 0.3 for me for a second.

00:17:58.780 We're going to Mike Lindell out at the Trump rally at Doral.

00:18:02.740 He just got up on the stage.

00:18:04.920 And so we're passing the feed over to the Trump rally at Doral with Mike Lindell back with Bradley Thayer.

00:18:11.480 You go, oh, yes, I have not voted.

00:18:13.240 I have not voted.

00:18:14.540 And we have a whole plan laid out for you there.

00:18:17.240 I call it protect your ballot.

00:18:19.560 Okay.

00:18:20.360 Protect your ballot.

00:18:21.780 We all need to do this.

00:18:23.620 We've got it.

00:18:24.420 We've got we'll show you there what you can do then after that.

00:18:27.220 But it works perfectly with swamp the vote.

00:18:29.720 We get everyone out to vote.

00:18:31.400 And now I want to say this is so I am very encouraged what's going to happen.

00:18:35.800 We've got to get, you know, at least 20 percent more out that voted because they're going to try and cheat.

00:18:41.760 But we've just got it.

00:18:42.960 We've got to swamp the vote.

00:18:44.140 We've got to override the algorithms.

00:18:45.700 And then we can get to where we need to with our election platforms.

00:18:49.180 But I want to say this before I go.

00:18:51.520 You guys, all the things that have been going on in our country that you look around that are bad with the open borders and the fentanyl pouring in and people dying and the economy, the worst it's ever been.

00:19:01.280 And these things happening, what they've done is they've drove people to this bucket of common sense, which is our great real president's bucket.

00:19:08.780 Okay.

00:19:09.600 And and once you're in that bucket, you don't leave.

00:19:12.860 The other thing, the other bucket that's going on is people don't reach out to God.

00:19:17.500 When I say God's given us grace for such a time as this, when things are going good, they don't reach out to God.

00:19:23.520 But when things are going bad, like things are going now, people are coming more and more to the Lord every day.

00:19:29.820 And we're in the greatest revival for Jesus Christ in history.

00:19:33.100 God bless you all.

00:19:34.160 Thank you.

00:19:34.440 Okay, good.

00:19:39.860 Let's go.

00:19:42.580 All right.

00:19:43.340 Way to go.

00:19:43.760 Mike Lindell, always crowd favorite out at the Trump rally in Doral, the Doral Golf Club in Florida.

00:19:50.720 And so we're jumping back to Bradley Thayer we have with us on the War Room.

00:19:56.240 He just covered a couple of points related to NATO.

00:19:59.680 And one of the main points, he made the obvious one in point two there on the international pieces, NATO was set up after World War II to keep the peace so Germany could never happen again.

00:20:12.160 Right.

00:20:12.480 And Bradley Thayer just, you know, kind of alluded to the point that now NATO is being used to go to war.

00:20:20.460 And so how did this transition come about, Bradley?

00:20:23.520 This is just returning to point two.

00:20:25.920 And then I know you wanted to go off to a third as well.

00:20:28.620 Sure.

00:20:29.060 Well, Lord Ismay said at the creation of NATO that its job was to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.

00:20:36.440 That was the three objectives during the Cold War.

00:20:40.120 And today that mission certainly has changed.

00:20:43.860 And there's clearly impetus not just to keep the United States in, but to continue to push the expansion of that alliance in a way which is now, of course, with membership in Ukraine, which was the casus belli, really, Putin's major concern for attacking Ukraine in the first place, is escalatory and very dangerous, Dave.

00:21:08.540 So when the domestic and the domestic and the international come together, which is what we're seeing now at the NATO summit, we're seeing Biden administration pushing escalation.

00:21:18.400 They want to keep expanding that conflict, U.S. involvement and NATO's involvement in that conflict, of course, which is very dangerous.

00:21:57.880 Taking a half step or a full step towards involvement in that war, but taking a leap into conflict.

00:22:05.060 So that's very dangerous.

00:22:06.800 And, of course, the audience has got to watch out for that concern.

00:22:11.140 And then, additionally, there's the concern really about what our ambitions are.

00:22:18.300 What's the intent of NATO, Dave, which is what you were getting at?

00:22:21.620 And Russia is not the Soviet Union, and it's far easier to deal with than the threat that we dealt with during the Cold War.

00:22:31.180 And we need to obviously keep an eye on, really, the dangerous aspects of this conflict.

00:22:40.560 Escalation can occur not just intentionally, what the Biden administration is doing, but it can also occur inadvertently.

00:22:47.600 That is where neither side wanted it to, but nonetheless, it resolved.

00:22:52.200 So it's a really dangerous component here when you're dealing with nuclear states.

00:22:56.660 The United States is flirting with conflict with Russia, right, a formidable nuclear power.

00:23:04.860 And a formidable nuclear power also aligned increasingly with the People's Republic of China under the dictator Xi Jinping,

00:23:14.820 who's quite happy to see the United States and Russia going at it, while he has a free hand to do what he wants,

00:23:22.120 both domestically against Taiwan, against the Philippines, and other countries.

00:23:27.200 So this summit is, in many respects, really are typical of the problems that we're facing in the Biden administrations

00:23:34.660 and the considerable dangers that we face of an escalation of this conflict between now and Election Day.

00:23:44.620 Yeah, yeah, very good, Bradley.

00:23:46.780 Thank you much.

00:23:48.120 And let's just continue one of the strands you just developed there a little bit.

00:23:53.260 We just had Darren Beatty on, and he said this time, you know, there's no COVID.

00:23:58.160 There's not as much of a censorship regime in place with the big tech, folks.

00:24:04.320 That's to be determined, however.

00:24:06.500 But you talked about an escalatory event that's intentional right now to some extent,

00:24:14.020 not all the way up the chain.

00:24:16.660 But a lot of the war room, you know, thinks there's many of these escalatory events

00:24:22.680 that are being at least positioned, right, in the war room posse mind and in mind

00:24:30.300 that this border invasion is intentional.

00:24:34.520 It clearly can be ended with a stroke of a pen, and it is setting up a potential, you know,

00:24:41.120 9-11-type catastrophe by terrorists coming into our country. 0.95

00:24:46.920 And the FBI says we have red lights going off all over the place.

00:24:49.740 And then this war we have going on in Ukraine is also providing another avenue for an escalatory event.

00:24:58.760 But the conspiracy, I got a lot of conspiracy-minded friends, right?

00:25:03.960 I'm not, I like the receipts, like on the war room, right?

00:25:06.540 We bring the receipts.

00:25:08.180 But the one humorous part about this conspiracy stuff is I don't think anyone could have made up

00:25:12.920 this current White House race on the Democrat side, right?

00:25:15.960 It is so chaotic and so out of control, no one could have managed such a catastrophe.

00:25:24.500 And so with that, it's kind of a predicate.

00:25:27.080 That's given, right?

00:25:28.000 So we've got massive chaos.

00:25:31.180 But out of chaos and in desperation, right, if the poll numbers are down 5% or 10% in closing,

00:25:37.320 what do you see, what have you heard?

00:25:41.740 Is there any Chinese intelligence, Russian intelligence, CIA scoops you've heard that lead to that kind of a story?

00:25:50.880 Dave, you're right to think through that there are many avenues, really, that might lead us to an October surprise, of course.

00:25:57.120 Going back, of course, to Reagan's concern in the 1980 campaign that Carter would free the hostage release would occur, the Iranian hostages.

00:26:08.800 So whether that's in Ukraine or whether that's a terrorist attack like 9-11...

00:26:13.600 I've been telling you about cyber scammers who try to steal Graceland.

00:26:17.620 The FBI calls this house stealing, and it's a real threat.

00:26:21.480 If you own a home or any real estate, pay close attention.

00:26:25.900 When was the last time you checked the title to your home?

00:26:29.020 With an average of 90% of your net worth in your home, criminals are targeting homeowners like never before.

00:27:17.960 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:27:26.440 Dave Bratt, sitting in the war room with Stephen K. Bannon and our good friend Bradley Thayer,

00:27:32.400 who's our in-house China expert but also covers global relations today.

00:27:37.420 He's helping us out with our analysis of just the spectrum of issues related to the NATO meetings that are happening now.

00:27:45.600 NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 32 countries all meeting right now, debating who's going to join.

00:27:55.760 Some of that's in place.

00:27:57.020 We've been covering some of the scenarios related to war in Ukraine.

00:28:02.280 Bradley just started pivoting toward the Middle East.

00:28:05.700 We had to hit a hard break, but Bradley, you're back.

00:28:09.580 So pivot toward the Middle East, and thanks for being with us.

00:28:13.560 Sure, Dave.

00:28:15.260 Always a pleasure to join you.

00:28:16.840 As Colonel John Mills illuminated last week, there are a lot of potential conflicts in the Middle East,

00:28:23.520 with the conflict between Israel and Hamas, but also Iran and Iran's proxies, Hezbollah, and then, of course, the Houthis.

00:28:33.820 So there could be certainly trouble there, and then China as well.

00:28:40.440 If we turn to the Indo-Pacific, then aggression from communist China against the Philippines, Taiwan, or other assets.

00:28:49.760 I think, Dave, the logic of any type of major escalatory event between now and the election

00:28:56.820 compels us to think that Ukraine is going to be the center of that,

00:29:02.860 and that is because the Biden administration has been driving this, right,

00:29:07.160 that they have been supporting Ukraine and supporting escalation of that conflict with Russia,

00:29:14.520 again, through half steps or full steps or potentially now in the future, an escalatory jump.

00:29:24.600 And then also because the focus of that administration is on Russia and really ensuring that Russia becomes a theme of the campaign

00:29:36.300 and is interwoven with American domestic politics, going back to the tropes and the lies that you know very well, Dave,

00:29:44.920 and so does the audience in terms of Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin.

00:29:52.240 So I think we should look there very closely and be greatly concerned between events now and the November 5th.

00:30:01.100 So the NATO summit now, today and the next few days in Washington, D.C.,

00:30:07.040 might be really the takeoff for an event that comes to pass between now and November 5th,

00:30:13.740 involving a clash between NATO aligned with Ukraine against Russia.

00:30:19.160 Very dangerous situation.

00:30:20.400 Yeah, well, and let's go back and review that.

00:30:24.760 There's a couple data points that come to mind, right?

00:30:28.000 The left is claiming, right, the open society folks that don't like religious people whatsoever, right?

00:30:34.500 So they're open to everything except to Russian culture, China culture, India culture, Christians, Judaism, etc.

00:30:42.320 And so the open society folks are saying we're fighting for democracy.

00:30:49.540 That's obviously not what they mean.

00:30:51.340 And there's a couple data points.

00:30:52.900 The U.S. did a coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014.

00:30:56.660 And so our hands are not clean.

00:30:58.580 But then secondly, and more important, just in the current almost news cycle, a couple of years ago in 2022,

00:31:04.980 Russia put a peace deal, a real peace deal on the table from everything I've been able to discern.

00:31:11.000 And we said no to it.

00:31:12.800 Is that true?

00:31:14.060 Because that right there will tell you who really wants to end the war and who doesn't.

00:31:20.080 That's right, Dave.

00:31:23.480 And there have been other trial balloons.

00:31:26.680 There have other peace proposals that have been advanced by the Turks.

00:31:32.400 Even Xi Jinping has advanced, suggested that there be peace talks.

00:31:38.540 So it's quite clear that people are shooting those down, right?

00:31:42.380 That they want this war of attrition to continue and for Russia and Ukraine to continue grinding away,

00:31:50.780 like World War I on the Western Front, consuming the resources of all of them in an effort to bleed Russia dry.

00:32:00.020 The irony, of course, is that a lot of military reports are coming out that the Russian military is learning a lot from this conflict

00:32:06.620 and becoming more formidable, actually, as a result of its experience in this conflict

00:32:14.200 and as a result of the lessons they've learned and the intelligence they've gathered on Western systems, for example.

00:32:21.440 Yeah, exactly.

00:32:23.820 And I want to probe your mind on a word you just used called resources.

00:32:28.940 So, you know, this media narrative, you know, we're trying to weaken Russia and, you know, we hope they fall or something like that. 0.53

00:32:39.000 I just don't buy it.

00:32:40.240 I think there's way more to it.

00:32:41.680 That's a nice byproduct if the U.S. gets that, the warmongers get that.

00:32:46.660 But there's also actually literal resources in the ground in Ukraine.

00:32:51.540 And Ukraine is also a huge geopolitical source, you know, down to the seas and et cetera for the future.

00:33:00.020 And so these globalist elitist forces that we always talk about on the war room,

00:33:05.260 and I just talked about them with Darren, there's so many, and they haven't been well specified yet.

00:33:09.000 There's China, right?

00:33:10.380 There's the defense establishment going back to Eisenhower and the entrenched corporate forces

00:33:15.920 that are over a trillion dollars, right, in the U.S., just in the U.S. budget,

00:33:19.440 not to mention everyone we sell to.

00:33:22.260 And then there's the three-letter agencies, the CIA, the State Department, the FBI,

00:33:28.000 all grouped into these globalist forces.

00:33:31.900 What other factors, how can you help us think about these other forces?

00:33:37.180 And it looks to me like Ukraine has become a piggy bank, number one, to launder a lot of this money. 0.81

00:33:42.980 And then secondly, there's a lot of real natural resources in the ground in Ukraine.

00:33:49.440 And so it's not just this idea that it's Russia and we're trying to degrade them. 0.80

00:33:53.820 That's certainly true.

00:33:54.680 What you said is true.

00:33:55.900 But I think there's way more beyond what we're allowed to see.

00:34:01.040 Without question, that's the case.

00:34:03.060 Steve always said that, of course, and continues to stress that there's a lot of evil going on in Ukraine 1.00

00:34:13.860 and a lot of activities going on there that will be revealed at some point.

00:34:22.240 I would add to that, Dave, additionally, that the reconstruction of Ukraine is also going to be lucrative for a lot of individuals.

00:34:34.740 That is, when the war finally, if there's an armistice or if there's a peace, the war is going to end and Ukraine is going to be rebuilt.

00:34:44.340 And I think a lot of folks in Washington, D.C. are going to profit handsomely from that as Ukrainian society is going to be rebuilt.

00:34:53.560 I would add one point additionally, Dave, and that is the NATO summit is touting the importance of Article V,

00:35:02.760 which is that attack on any member of the alliance is an attack on all of them.

00:35:07.000 It weakens Article V by stretching and by having this quasi-relationship with Ukraine, a non-NATO member, right,

00:35:17.740 where Article V does not apply, and yet the Biden administration is touting, well, in essence, it might apply, right?

00:35:26.260 It might be.

00:35:27.360 It's a kind of a quasi-puppet of NATO, if you will.

00:35:32.900 That weakens Article V.

00:35:34.520 Article V is either on or off.

00:35:37.000 It is not something which is negotiable.

00:35:40.820 And that's been the great strength of the NATO alliance from its inception in 1949 until today.

00:35:48.000 What Biden is doing in Ukraine is actually weakening that.

00:35:53.240 And coupled with that, the increased conventional spending of NATO members, which the Biden administration is saying, well, they did that.

00:36:02.100 In reality, of course, it's the possibility of Trump's return, which is energizing NATO members to spend the NATO standard of at least 2 percent of gross domestic product on defense spending, if not more.

00:36:17.080 Some states do more.

00:36:18.080 Some states do more.

00:36:18.160 Most, actually, NATO members do a lot less.

00:36:21.040 So Ukraine is hurting the alliance, the Article V commitment.

00:36:27.240 It's helping the Russian military improve itself.

00:36:30.980 And we're flirting with a conflict which could escalate to the nuclear level, which serves no one's end.

00:36:40.900 Yeah, thank you.

00:36:42.900 Bradley, Thayer, thanks for hitting all the main points.

00:36:45.900 You just triggered my memory on several points.

00:36:48.980 Reconstruction, right?

00:36:50.380 You hit that point.

00:36:51.380 The reconstruction costs are going to be in the billions and tens of billions.

00:36:54.040 And the great thing about the war room posse and the real threat to the American and globalist left is that this show has a memory.

00:37:02.620 And this is something new in American politics in the last 10 or 20 years.

00:37:07.260 We have a memory.

00:37:08.880 We will see who gets those contracts.

00:37:11.420 And just as a little teaser in advance for some of these guys, the Magnificent Seven are all monopolies, right?

00:37:18.720 A lot of them have made money off of China.

00:37:21.220 A lot of them have federal government contracts.

00:37:24.060 A lot of them are just pure monopolies on their own.

00:37:26.320 It's very hard to enter.

00:37:28.000 And even worse than those seven monopolies, you have the three index funds, right?

00:37:33.500 And BlackRock is one of the names that's being touted as being in the construction phase of Ukraine, along with Vanguard and State Street and et cetera.

00:37:41.340 So these guys are not just simple little index funds, right?

00:37:44.580 These guys actually proxy vote for the big seven and way more.

00:37:50.720 They're worth tens of trillions of dollars in control on the market.

00:37:54.560 They're way bigger than other nation states.

00:37:57.500 So we will see if these are the folks that come into the reconstruction bids.

00:38:03.500 I have the feeling the war room posse is going to jog our memories, Bradley.

00:38:10.280 So thanks for being with us on the war room.

00:38:13.340 We're going to pivot over to the Trump rally at Doral right now.

00:38:18.340 But the war room posse, remember these data points, write these down as to what you just heard on this show from Bradley Thayer.

00:38:27.120 And then the huge reconstruction, I shouldn't, you know, I shouldn't make light of it because this is so serious.

00:38:32.960 And so many Ukrainian boys and girls have died for this grotesque profiteering over war.

00:38:42.960 It always happens in war. 0.64

00:38:44.900 That's why we should always strive for peace unless it's to defend the weak or self-defense, et cetera.

00:38:53.180 But right now we're being led down the primrose path, as Stephen K. Bannon would say.

00:38:57.940 Let's pivot over to Jane for a minute for a highlight, and then we'll get back to Jane for the next entire block. 0.99

00:39:05.340 Jane, what do you got for us over there in one minute?

00:39:10.480 The American spirit is alive and well here in Doral.

00:39:13.860 Florida has showed up for President Trump.

00:39:16.500 Despite the nearly 100 degree heat, he has a massive village of people.

00:39:21.660 I mean, Doral has absolutely turned into MAGA country.

00:39:25.060 I mean, look at this amazing scene of patriots.

00:39:27.740 And let me tell you, such an exciting night coming on the heels of the RNC platform committee officially adopting President Trump's MAGA agenda as the Republican Party platform for 2024.

00:39:39.780 That features 20 promises to the American people, which focus largely on the economy and closing the border, undoing Joe Biden's destruction.

00:39:49.200 And that is a major issue for the patriots here.

00:39:53.540 The economy, immigration, that's the focus of the voters on the ground here, and they are so excited that that is the agenda.

00:40:00.020 President Trump has the Republican movement united behind him.

00:40:03.860 Listen to this chanting USA, USA.

00:40:05.580 Jane Zirkle back after the break with Jane Zirkle.

00:40:10.620 You can feel the energy.

00:40:11.700 That's why it's so great to have theorists on the show.

00:40:14.940 But then we're a populist audience and we love showcasing the people.

00:40:18.300 Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans,

00:40:37.660 all the while eroding the future of the American dream, companies like Starbucks, strong, strong army customers to support abortion or PayPal canceling accounts over political views,

00:40:49.700 Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models and Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer. 0.90

00:42:00.160 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:42:08.660 Back in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:42:11.580 Special day today.

00:42:12.560 We get to go show you the highlights from the Trump rally up in Doral with our fearless leader on the ground, the populist leader.

00:42:21.400 It's great having, you know, the theorists, the Stephen K. Bannon friends sat with the big brains who help us see, you know, a few years ahead of time,

00:42:31.460 like Steve so famously has done for year after year after year.

00:42:35.020 And then we couple it with hearing from the crowd.

00:42:38.080 Let's hear it from the populists. 0.68

00:42:39.580 And Steve has always known what's near and dear to the American people's hearts.

00:42:44.080 And so I think the Trump agenda just went through the RNC Platform Committee.

00:42:48.400 All political views are just my own.

00:42:50.380 But it's the big three from the war room as always, right?

00:42:53.040 It's the inflation, the border invasion, and the endless wars.

00:42:57.000 And so Jane Zirkle's on the ground. 0.99

00:42:59.440 I think she's going to ask a few folks which of these are priority number one in their lives

00:43:03.960 and what they want to see the country do in the years to come.

00:43:07.420 Jane, take us to the crowd and let us know what's on their hearts and minds.

00:43:13.000 Yeah, so I have spent the day talking to the war room posse, and I just want to share with you some stats.

00:43:19.740 Since Joe Biden has taken office, prices in Florida have risen by over 21 percent.

00:43:25.320 The cost to buy a home nearly doubling.

00:43:28.640 And Joe Biden has cost the average Floridian household nearly $29,000 extra per year.

00:43:36.000 I want to talk to some of the war room posse and tell you why they support President Trump.

00:43:40.240 Hey, can you tell me why you support President Trump?

00:43:43.220 Because we need to make America great again.

00:43:45.820 And we need to stop the migrants, the fentanyl, the drugs, the gender stuff in school. 1.00

00:43:51.780 It's so much we need to stop.

00:43:52.940 We need to close the border, close the floodgates.

00:43:56.480 Hey, guys, can you please tell me your name and what brings you here today?

00:43:59.400 Oh, I see we have a volunteer.

00:44:00.840 Your name and what brings you here today?

00:44:02.520 Alan Gonzalez and Freedom.

00:44:04.500 Freedom, what's your favorite Trump policy?

00:44:09.660 What's your favorite Trump policy?

00:44:11.020 Come on.

00:44:11.440 Building the wall.

00:44:12.480 Build the wall.

00:44:13.320 Do we need to build the wall?

00:44:15.480 Oh, yeah.

00:44:16.300 Your name and what brings you here today?

00:44:19.020 My name is Adonis.

00:44:20.500 I'm here to watch the true leader of the United States of America.

00:44:25.200 Bless us all and just give us his force, his leadership.

00:44:29.100 And the reason why I'm here is because nine years ago I came from Cuba.

00:44:33.940 And I know what it's like to live under tyranny.

00:44:37.860 And just being here is a commitment from myself and from my family to be with the American

00:44:42.620 people and to vote for freedom and to vote for this country.

00:44:46.120 Big time.

00:44:46.820 Enjoy the rally.

00:44:48.200 What brings you here to support freedom?

00:44:50.300 Freedom.

00:44:50.700 Yeah, hey, folks.

00:45:00.280 I think we just had a little technical glitch.

00:45:02.520 They'll get back in my ear in a little bit.

00:45:05.380 In the meantime, why don't we go to one of our friends, Catherine O'Neill.

00:45:08.840 Catherine, are you on standby there?

00:45:11.240 And what are you up to?

00:45:12.120 Hey, there she is. 1.00

00:45:13.540 How are you, Dave?

00:45:15.240 Hey, I'm doing great.

00:45:16.440 How are you doing?

00:45:17.820 Where do you live?

00:45:19.140 Where do you do all this beef?

00:45:21.260 And tell us what kind of deals and what's so special about your business now.

00:45:26.280 Absolutely, Dave.

00:45:27.020 Thanks so much for having me on.

00:45:28.360 I'm out here in Wheatland, Wyoming, which is just an hour north of Cheyenne, which is

00:45:33.420 the capital of Wyoming.

00:45:35.100 And we have a vertically integrated cattle company offering the War Room Posse, the best 0.95

00:45:40.520 beef on the market, the cleanest beef.

00:45:43.080 As you may know, Dave, all of our beef is hormone and vaccine and antibiotic free, which is different

00:45:51.920 than you can find in the grocery stores.

00:45:54.580 We also dry age our products 14 days at a minimum.

00:45:59.240 So you're getting really high quality, tender flavor.

00:46:02.920 And what we're doing today, Dave, is we're really encouraging the Posse to subscribe to

00:46:10.180 our products, to do a monthly subscription.

00:46:13.360 You'll get 15% off each month.

00:46:16.120 And it's really important that the Posse gets a spot because we're expanding rapidly and we're

00:46:22.560 diving into new markets.

00:46:23.700 But we want to make sure that the War Room Posse locks in their supply now because, you

00:46:30.460 know, people just really want to buy our stuff.

00:46:33.100 So we want to make sure that they're taken care of.

00:46:37.160 Catherine, what did you do before you were in the cattle and beef business?

00:46:42.620 Yeah, absolutely.

00:46:43.580 I actually worked for President Donald Trump for five years.

00:46:46.640 I was a young college grad joining his campaign in 2016, taking a leap of faith.

00:46:54.300 I worked on the transition team under Mike Flynn, actually.

00:46:59.780 I sat right next to him as a, you know, young kid, not knowing what I was getting myself into.

00:47:05.280 I served at the State Department for three years, went back on the 2020 campaign, and then

00:47:11.420 went back into the administration for the final months.

00:47:14.760 And I did not abandon Trump like many did after January 6th.

00:47:19.960 I stood with him until the final day of the administration.

00:47:23.940 And I was proud to do that.

00:47:26.580 No doubt about it.

00:47:27.780 That's what I wanted to do.

00:47:28.920 I thought I heard that about you.

00:47:30.820 And I was like, wow, that's an impressive person.

00:47:33.800 And so Catherine O'Neill, everybody check out the beep.

00:47:36.820 I love the age stuff myself.

00:47:38.680 I'm going to subscribe and try it out.

00:47:41.400 And so Catherine, thanks so much for being on the War Room.

00:47:43.980 Your smile is contagious.

00:47:45.620 Keep it up.

00:47:46.280 Thank you.

00:47:47.260 You bet.

00:47:48.100 You bet.

00:47:48.740 All right.

00:47:49.020 We're back on the War Room.

00:47:50.800 Do we have Jane Zirkle and Doral and the Trump rally ready to fire?

00:47:55.660 Do we resolve our technical issue?

00:47:59.520 Jane, are you there with us?

00:48:00.820 Or Mike Lindell, are you with us?

00:48:03.520 I'm here.

00:48:05.780 Hello.

00:48:06.400 Good.

00:48:06.600 And I think we have Mike Lindell with us.

00:48:09.860 Mike, hey, we got you.

00:48:10.940 How you doing, brother?

00:48:12.720 Welcome to the War Room.

00:48:14.740 Yeah, thanks.

00:48:15.580 I'm here at the rally.

00:48:16.500 I just got done speaking a little bit ago.

00:48:18.560 And I wanted to quicken on and thank the War Room Posse for making it all possible.

00:48:23.700 And to tell you, we're running the best special ever today, you guys.

00:48:27.400 This is a brand-new commercial with the $99.98 mattress topper.

00:48:36.860 And listen to the crowd here.

00:48:38.520 It's going to be a great night out here.

00:48:40.760 And in my speech, I said I thank everybody for supporting MyPillow and my employees

00:48:45.620 and all these attacks over the last three years.

00:48:48.280 But we owe the War Room Posse, so we're giving back with the great specials we have.

00:48:55.560 Go to the promo code.

00:48:58.560 And, Dave, it's going to be an amazing night here in Miami.

00:49:02.960 Yeah.

00:49:03.460 Well, hey, why don't you give us a little more on that?

00:49:06.720 Stephen K. Bannon always says President Trump puts us in the room.

00:49:10.660 And Bannon puts us in the room.

00:49:12.420 And now you're going to put us in the room.

00:49:14.360 What's it feel like there?

00:49:15.560 What's on the agenda tonight?

00:49:16.740 What's coming up?

00:49:17.540 Well, one of the things I really liked is before it started, they played a whole tape.

00:49:25.280 Yes, I'm staying.

00:49:29.760 Sorry.

00:49:31.360 Okay.

00:49:33.640 I'm live here.

00:49:34.520 Okay.

00:49:34.900 Hey, you guys, the first thing that happened was the president, he had a tape, and he goes,

00:49:41.140 hey, we need to get the paper ballots hand counted.

00:49:43.500 And as everybody knows, what happened today was Elon Musk tweeted it out.

00:49:47.540 Paper ballots hand counted.

00:49:49.500 So everybody, the crowd went wild.

00:49:51.840 We know we're not going to get that far yet.

00:49:53.660 But we also know that I announced my plan.

00:49:58.780 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:50:04.140 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:50:08.540 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:50:16.160 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence, and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:50:29.860 In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:50:37.760 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:50:47.960 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:50:54.040 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:51:06.660 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:51:12.260 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:51:14.260 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:51:17.960 This kills nearly 700,000 Americans every year.

00:51:22.480 Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.

00:51:26.380 Heart disease builds over time.

00:51:28.480 Hypertension, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, all of it affects our heart.

00:51:33.700 A healthy heart is key to being energetic as we get older.

00:51:38.160 It is never too early to take care of your heart.

00:51:42.380 You see, heart disease sneaks up on us.

00:51:44.060 You can start in your 30s, and when this happens, you're at serious risk by the time you turn 60.

00:51:48.140 If you want to take care of your heart and those you care about, please go to WarRoomHealth.com.
