On this episode of The War Room: In the Year of Our Lord, 2024, host Natalie G. Winters is joined by Mike Benz and Scott P. Pressler to talk all things Democratic primary politics, including the latest in the latest CNN/ORC polling and a call to action from Early Vote Action on non-citizens voting.
00:05:00.400And do you think the Trump campaign is, you know, adequately hitting them?
00:05:04.920I talk to moms all day, and they go, Scott, I got three boys.
00:05:11.360My kids are eating me out of house and home.
00:05:14.940Or, Scott, I can't even afford my mortgage payment.
00:05:19.920I mean, this economy, this Biden-Harris economy is struggling middle class, working class America.
00:05:28.360And again, I think the President Trump campaign would be wise to continue using Kamala's own words against her.
00:05:36.720I thought it was brilliant with that advertisement where Kamala was saying the price of bread has gone up,
00:05:42.620the price of milk, the price of gas, and then it was an I am Donald Trump and I approve this message.
00:05:49.320Continue to hound on the economy, illegal immigration, and peace, not war.
00:05:54.060Well, you can see the media is trying to run cover for Harris specifically on that issue.
00:06:00.120I remember polling data coming out, and of course, all the media outlets ran with it.
00:06:04.120I think there's some huge Atlantic piece about the interesting distinction.
00:06:07.820While most voters view Harris and Biden as, you know, intricately linked on most of the policy issues
00:06:14.000and positions that they've taken on the economy, there seems to be, frankly, a chasm between people blaming Biden versus Harris for the economy.
00:06:22.920I'm just curious, from your interactions, your discussions with voters, is that a salient point?
00:06:28.880Or do you think that most Americans can see through that spin and know that Harris is equally culpable,
00:06:34.620frankly, if not more, given her involvement or lack thereof at the southern border?
00:07:18.280Why have you not implemented, with all of the time you've been an elected official,
00:07:23.440why have you not implemented any of these grand things during your time as vice president?
00:07:27.980And I think that's something very important that we need to continue to promote, that she has been an ineffective and feckless leader,
00:07:36.840that this administration with her as vice president has gotten us to the place that we are today,
00:07:43.000with a crippling economy, with more wars, not peace, and that we are having millions of invaders come into our country every single day.
00:07:52.720And more importantly, what President Trump, in my opinion, needs to do a better job of is the Democrats are going to try to say that they're pro-women.
00:08:00.920I had somebody come out today and say that to me, and I said, you're right.
00:17:54.680I know there's this tale of two cities, of two conventions going on inside the perimeter, even though I know walls don't work.
00:18:01.680Apparently, they work well enough for the DNC of what's going on inside and what's going on outside.
00:18:07.680There's really not a difference between what those factions represent because they're funded by the same people, the same far left organizations, whether it's the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundations, the Rockefeller Foundations, all of that dark money.
00:18:25.680Those protesters, they are as radical, if not more radical, than the policy positions they are advocating inside of the DNC than what they're talking about outside.
00:18:37.680Whether it's amnesty for 15 million plus Americans, including everything under the sun for free, even going out of their way to find previously deported illegal aliens, bringing them back into the United States.
00:18:53.680If you go through the DNC platform, there's a ton of errors in there where they still refer to Harris's potential first term as, quote, Biden's second term.
00:19:04.680Yes, their copy editors didn't do that good of a job.
00:19:07.680But I also think there's a deeper metaphorical significance there, which is that the Democratic Party, it's not actually about Kamala Harris.
00:19:14.680It's not actually about any one person, right?
00:19:17.680Like we always say, it's a plug and play system.
00:19:19.680You see it, I think, most expertly through the financial system and the donor system and the dark money network.
00:19:34.680I mean, frankly, I agree in some ways with what Bernie Sanders said last night on stage that billionaires shouldn't have their money involved in politics, shouldn't be allowed to buy off elections.
00:19:42.680Well, look in the mirror, because that's your party.
00:19:46.680The same billionaires who are bankrolling, those anti-American protesters that are burning American flags as our very own Ben Burkwam, who dared to try to step in and stop that from going down, of course, to no avail.
00:19:58.680You saw he got sort of punched out, who knows, it would have transpired off camera.
00:20:03.680But the Democrats inside, they're masking their radicalness.
00:20:07.680I guess at least the ones outside have the nerve, have the guts to at least say it to your face that they want to destroy this country.
00:20:13.680Obama, Michelle, Hillary, they like to still speak, I guess, in nice euphemisms.
00:20:19.680Like, we want to radically transform this country.
00:20:56.680Mike Benz, you join us now to talk about how it seems like big money, the government particularly, is involved in every story that we see in the news.
00:21:07.680And I'm not talking censorship or misinformation.
00:21:10.680It's just being reported that Thomas Crooks, the would-be Trump assassin, had offshore kind of secret messaging accounts rooted in, what was it, Belgium, Germany, and one other country.
00:21:24.680Sort of ran out for a 21-year-old living in Pennsylvania.
00:21:29.680Walk us through, as you jokingly tweeted, what feds told him to open those accounts.
00:21:35.680Yeah, so we're accumulating this information slowly, but it's painting a very strange and disturbing picture here.
00:21:43.680So, you know, the first thing that I noted is, you know, they said Belgium, Germany, and New Zealand.
00:21:48.680And Belgium, of course, is the seat of NATO.
00:21:52.680And it's a very peculiar place for someone living, young kid living in rural Pennsylvania, to have an encrypted chat app.
00:22:01.680Of course, NATO is just having its summit here in the U.S. while Trump was nearly assassinated.
00:22:08.680And while, you know, Corey Compertori was murdered right behind him.
00:22:12.680If you remember, NATO was, you know, had the big delegation in D.C.
00:22:17.680That was one of the reasons it was reported that Trump had a diminished security detail.
00:22:22.680At the rally was because there were still Secret Service detailed to the NATO summit.
00:22:29.680Now, you know, add that to the fact that the replacements for those Secret Service agents were evidently agents from DHS's HSI, Homeland Security Investigations Unit, which is the same unit that mass penetrated Trump supporters and Trump networks ahead of January 6th.
00:22:47.680And were and were very active infiltrating the crowd that day.
00:22:51.680That very same unit HSI within DHS, which replaced the Secret Service agents because of the NATO summit going on during the Butler rally.
00:23:00.680And, you know, NATO and the U.S. military have a very nasty history of false flag attacks together, including ones resulting in murders of American citizens.
00:23:13.680You know, very famously, probably the most scandalous document ever to be declassified in United States history was a 1962 proposal by Lyman Lemnitzer, who then was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
00:23:28.680Mark Milley's role, you know, today, effectively.
00:23:33.680And so Lyman Lemnitzer, you know, wrote this memo with the unanimous approval of of the Joint Chiefs to President Kennedy proposing to conduct mass false flag murder attacks across America,
00:23:47.680including sinking American naval ships, hijacking American airplanes, both both military and civilian doing street rental riots using military commandos, but telling people that they were foreign citizens in order to.
00:24:03.680You know, the name of this proposal was called Pretext to War with Cuba.
00:24:07.680It was about how the U.S. military could secretly conduct a false flag attack, killing killing Americans, blaming it on a foreign country to use it as a pretext to go to war.
00:24:16.680Now, when that proposal was rejected by President Kennedy and then Kennedy was assassinated, Lyman Lemnitzer was then promoted to Supreme Allied Commander of NATO.
00:24:26.680I mean, this just gives you a little bit of I think of a peripheral vision on the pedigree that these things are not outside the bounds.
00:24:34.680You know, there's more there. But what I'll say is all it would have took for this to happen would be to have it's been reported.
00:24:43.280And I believe we talked about last week. New York Post Post has reported that Thomas Crooks was training rifles at the same range used by DHS agents.
00:24:53.400And he threw together three separate homemade explosive devices that he you know, that he had with him at the Butler event.
00:25:02.400Now, you it's to scramble that together in a week because that's there was only one week between when it was announced that the rally was announced and when it was held.
00:25:11.400That kid must have been working on that for months and to and been triggered when a when a but when it when they Pennsylvania rally happened to be relatively close to him.
00:25:22.400If Thomas Crooks was on Fed's radars for months before the before the attack and then simply when there was a nearby rally, he was urged or goaded or persuaded by his group chat to go out and do it then and there.
00:25:39.660That would explain how he was able to get things together so quickly in just a week to be able to have the drone technology, the scoping, the surveillance, the three homemade explosives.
00:25:49.660Now, all that would have taken were I mean, think of how easy this would be to organize this, knowing what we now know.
00:25:56.660All that would have taken would be a rogue cell within DHS HSI with some sort of military back channel or some sort of back channel to the Secret Service, having picked up that Thomas Crooks was this kook who was willing to go out and commit a murder.
00:26:11.400Finding out that, hey, there's actually a rally not too far from where Crooks is Crooks lives, simply having some back channel with someone in Secret Service simply to say, hey, don't be on the roof that day.
00:26:25.100Don't scope out the roof that day. And we and Josh Hawley's whistleblower, as we've discussed, said there were people who were supposed to be on the roof, but did not go there, citing the heat.
00:26:36.240Well, who gave the order to not be there from the heat or what officer was supposed to be there, but then cited, oh, the heat.
00:26:43.000And so I'm not going to go up there. That will, I believe, lead to an interesting trail.
00:26:47.940And then also the FBI counter sniper team didn't magically left its post overlooking it.
00:26:55.000So all these things happen in perfect timing and all it would have taken is a small group of two or three agents at DHS HSI who and then potentially the replacement of those Secret Service agents by a friendly from DHS at HSI.
00:27:10.000And the whole thing could have been done effectively in-house and all they would have needed to have done is told Thomas Crooks months beforehand while they were grooming him, hey, let's switch to encrypted chat apps.
00:27:21.440That way, when you get these big, bright 4K pictures like we just got last week of Thomas Crooks texting on his phone right before he did the shooting, he would have had great OPSEC in the sense that, you know, they might not be able to access those apps.
00:27:34.840We're going to have to jump to break. I want to hold you through, but I know you've done kind of comprehensive analysis, how all this dovetails with NATO's 2030 agenda that they outlined in a document.
00:27:44.720Like we always say, whether it's the UN or NATO, all of their goals are set to culminate in 2030.
00:27:51.220And you know what would be a major impediment to that? The re-election of President Donald J. Trump.
00:27:56.600So when you see these forces, I would say probably somehow involved either directly or indirectly in the actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks.
00:28:03.720It certainly leaves you wondering. We'll wonder a little more after this short break. We'll be right back.
00:28:12.140Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans, all the while eroding the future of the American dream?
00:28:20.920Companies like Starbucks, strong army customers to support abortion or PayPal, canceling accounts over political views.
00:28:29.200Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:28:32.620And Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer.

00:32:28.080And it turns out that Tim Waltz himself was was the chairman of the Special Operations Forces Caucus in Congress,
00:32:36.260the very unit that is tasked with with organizing street riots around the world on behalf of the United States.
00:32:45.080And so while political insiders and military intelligence figures were plotting to do so about how to capacity build and do the same thing at home that they're that they were doing abroad,
00:32:57.980the exact thing popped off right under everyone's noses.
00:33:01.460And then, you know, there is even this effectively 50 billion dollar contribution aggregated from U.S. Chamber of Commerce companies.
00:33:11.440You know, all the different, you know, Starbucks giving them money, Microsoft giving them money, you know, retailers, everyone.
00:33:18.600You know, if you remember the make it rain style cash flow that all went, you know, to pay the BLM organization when these riots popped off.
00:33:28.820And then lo and behold, we find out after the 2020 election from Molly Ball in Time magazine that the Chamber of Commerce actually had a secret agreement with the AFL-CIO,
00:33:39.480the largest union arm in the country, who is is so laced with intelligence work that that the new left used to refer to it as the AFL-CIA back in the 1960s and 70s,
00:33:51.600because the CIA would always work with the AFL-CIO in order to orchestrate street riots in color revolutions in foreign countries by getting the workers to revolt.
00:34:00.560And it turned out that the AFL-CIO and the in the Chamber of Commerce had a secret agreement where the AFL-CIO stood down the protest,
00:34:11.180the destabilization protests that they had planned when it was declared Joe Biden won the election days after the count.
00:34:18.960So it's a marvelous set of coincidences that all happened to perfectly align, not just with the U.S. playbook for destabilizing foreign governments,
00:34:30.420but doing it at home, but with the exact same players, the exact same networks that would do it.
00:34:36.900So I do think that this is one of the one of the reasons that prosecutors are protecting the the you know,
00:34:46.460the protesters who are going after the White House to get out Joe Biden.
00:34:51.680If you remember, they astroturfed a ring of hundreds of protesters around the White House under the hashtag pass the torch getting,
00:35:00.400you know, getting Joe Biden, you know, to to leave.
00:35:03.540They got the, you know, the street presence there.
00:35:06.040Rosa Brooks and her and her ilk are back at it in 2024, just published in The Guardian,
00:35:11.320their new blueprint for how to stop Trump this time.
00:35:14.400And what they call for in the manual is the same thing.
00:35:18.000They said we're behind schedule on being able to organize public protests.
00:35:21.660We need to upscale that capacity immediately.
00:35:24.160And I have no doubt that that capacity is being fastened as we speak.
00:35:30.220Mike, if people want to follow you, you always do such wonderful, even deeper dive videos.
00:35:35.220I know we always love to use the word deep dive or drill down here in the war room,
00:35:38.320but you do an expert job of that on your Twitter.
00:35:40.360If people want to go there and really follow up and dig on their own time into all these stories,
00:35:46.200which, like we always say, it's about pattern recognition.
00:35:48.700It's the same people, same regime, and the regime always protects its own,
00:35:53.400whether in the form of election results, convictions or lawfare, you name it.
