this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to
00:00:09.720
medieval on this people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people
00:00:16.320
the people have had a belly full of it I know you don't like hearing that I know you try to
00:00:20.400
do everything the world to stop that but you're not gonna stop it it's going to happen and where
00:00:24.000
do people like that go to share the big line mega media I wish in my soul I wish that any of these
00:00:31.780
people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to
00:00:39.340
save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:47.220
I think we shouldn't lose track I think even in the civility of the fact that JD Vance came to this
00:00:58.460
debate to land a bunch of punches and he did he landed a lot of punches in between all the niceties
00:01:05.220
and all of that and the thing that that really stood out to me was that Tim Walz did not seem
00:01:11.080
prepared for it he didn't respond to a lot of the criticisms and attacks that Vance put on the table
00:01:16.740
he allowed some clear falsehoods to just go completely unanswered he allowed JD Vance
00:01:24.220
essentially to dodge on a whole host of issues on climate change on on the issue of his flip-flopping
00:01:30.180
on Donald Trump he he allowed Vance initially to claim that Trump salvaged the Affordable Care Act
00:01:37.980
it took him several sentences to get to the part of his answer Walz's answer where he where he actually
00:01:44.700
responded to that I mean I think there was a clear lack of preparation and execution here
00:01:49.780
is the alternative there's so much material but what happens in these debates and we've seen it
00:01:57.280
in town halls where moderators have the same issue as well you get overwhelmed by the other side whether
00:02:02.600
it's Trump or Vance now who have the fire hose of falsehoods coming at you and you could see Tim
00:02:09.360
Walz trying to keep up with them because there were so many I'm not joking I mean it's very hard
00:02:14.600
to compete against somebody who doesn't play by the rules and you would think in politics and in news
00:02:20.760
coverage that that would be the baseline that we're arguing over facts but it doesn't happen in these
00:02:27.660
debates not with the Trump fans ticket I'm just gonna say I mean the other challenge is as you all talk
00:02:32.900
about every day is this is not an on-the-level presidential race and he was not standing on
00:02:38.220
the stage with a guy who as my mother would say was on the level I mean JD Vance was campaigning like
00:02:44.320
he was running with a different running mate I mean I don't know what that briefing book that he was
00:02:48.880
using was not full of Trump positions or facts either one I mean and that was who Tim Walz was standing on
00:02:55.960
that debate stage with so that is a challenge it is hard to be and I do think people want serious
00:03:02.860
discussions and debates about policy but it's hard to be the guy explaining the intricacies of policy
00:03:08.200
when the guy standing next to you is lying and everything that comes out of his mouth and
00:03:13.540
reconstructing history of the guy who is his running mate that's that's it's a challenge I've known JD
00:03:20.120
Vance for 15 years and in that time I've seen him play many different roles and I've heard him tell many
00:03:25.880
different and contradictory stories about who he is and what he believes so last night he debuted
00:03:31.400
a new role and a new story and that created a problem for the moderators because it's CBS the
00:03:37.660
most prestigious name in television news obviously they're not going to ask questions about George
00:03:42.060
Soros's plot to replace the white race they're not going to ask questions about is Tim Walz plotting
00:03:47.320
to turn all the boys of Minnesota into trans they're not going to ask about Putinism and why you repeat
00:03:52.840
Putin propaganda they're going to ask serious substantive questions about the issues the
00:03:56.880
problem is the reason JD Vance is on the Republican ticket in the first place yes he went along with
00:04:02.120
he was told made it clear he was going to go along with coups against the Constitution but he also has
00:04:06.520
been trafficking in the filthiest muck of American politics on right-wing podcasts on obscure places
00:04:13.460
for the past four years as he reinvented himself to please Donald Trump and so there's a problem in the
00:04:20.500
debate which is when you ask JD Vance about federal lands he's really smart and he's really a good
00:04:25.700
student and he will have an answer for you maybe a different answer from the one he would have given
00:04:29.500
15 minutes ago or 15 days ago or 15 months ago but you'll have an answer but you're missing who he is
00:04:35.600
and what kind of person is going to be one cheeseburger away from the presidency should the Trump Vance
00:04:40.660
ticket win it's the audacity I agree with you that we're in year nine and no one knows how to cover
00:04:46.780
the audacity the audacity is it is that someone should have said stop it stop stop are you effing
00:04:53.720
kidding me and they should have they should have dropped that f-bomb right I mean they should just
00:04:57.320
we this is a debate this may be the only chance people have to see the difference and instead I'm
00:05:03.040
going to go back to my toothpicks JD Vance just put one little toothpick on top of the other and said
00:05:07.380
and I'm for this and I'm for this and I'm so sorry those women died they died because of Donald Trump
00:05:11.780
one man had a litmus test for the people he put on the Supreme Court and he put not one not two put
00:05:17.300
three on because they pass a litmus test that they would overturn Roe and that's why Amber died
00:05:21.320
that's why that little boy doesn't have a mom and nobody made that reality come to life because I
00:05:27.260
think if you even if you didn't get the contrast you were looking for neither did you get any
00:05:31.840
any you know wake up and smell the smelling salts you know you sort of lulled into normalcy
00:05:37.560
Wednesday 2nd of October and we're dorming in 2024 Harnwell here at the helm filling in
00:05:44.820
for Steve Bannon um well interesting uh thanks for the five minutes of of the cold open Denver
00:05:51.780
putting that together um interesting many of the themes I think were anticipated yesterday on the
00:05:56.520
show Josh Hammer you saw the debate between the the VP candidates um I tell you what my first
00:06:02.740
take of this is you know without even watching the debate that JD wiped the floor with Tim Walsh how
00:06:09.200
do you know that because all the mainstream media headlines are basically admitting it they're trying
00:06:13.780
to massage it they're trying to salvage it some to some degree but they're not even pretending it was
00:06:19.420
so bad it was such a a wipeout they're not even trying to suggest it was an equal draw tell me what
00:06:25.280
was your your first impressions of this debate Ben I think that this was the single most
00:06:32.660
dominant performance that I have ever seen from a major politician Republican Democrat or any party
00:06:40.640
in between in my adult lifetime I I actually mean that and the reason I know that is not just that
00:06:48.640
JD Vance overcame a another corporate media infused three-on-one gang up the moderators here were
00:06:55.220
just as biased if not even worse frankly than they were in the ABC News debate with Trump and Kamala
00:06:59.760
Harris a few weeks ago it wasn't just that it wasn't just the fact that left-wing media as we
00:07:05.120
just saw in that excellent montage is basically acknowledging that JD Vance wiped the floor with
00:07:10.180
that you know even Trump skeptical MAGA skeptical people on the right such as such as the New York
00:07:15.660
Times columnist Ross doubt that I saw Ross just tweeted I mean Ross put on Twitter last night he said
00:07:20.680
that this is this is the most dominant Republican performance of this entire century in his mind it
00:07:25.940
actually surpassed Mitt Romney's first debate against Barack Obama when it was widely considered that
00:07:30.760
Mitt Romney destroyed Barack Obama he thought that this was even more dominant and it was because from
00:07:35.440
the very first question about the Middle East to the housing policy I mean JD Vance has done the reading
00:07:42.740
and you know people like me who have known him for years know that I mean we knew that this character
00:07:46.740
of him as this weirdo who's obsessed with childless cat ladies and all that stuff I mean talk about a
00:07:52.240
bizarre and grotesque left-wing disinformation operation but the guy is he just turned 40 years
00:07:58.000
old he's a young first-term senator he's the American people are still getting to know him
00:08:01.960
and man I mean did he just crush it on that stage last night Ben every topic he had command of the
00:08:07.700
material he came across as likable talking about his wife Usha I saw some polls where his favorability
00:08:13.300
gained 20 points just over the course of that debate there which shows that the skepticism was
00:08:17.880
really just an inch deep that it could change that much over the course of two hours there I think that
00:08:21.900
he has set this campaign out this Trump Vance campaign in exceptional shape as we get into this final month
00:08:26.720
yeah uh you said something there that tripped a wire in my head that you've known JD for a number of
00:08:35.320
years and you knew that the mainstream media caricature of him was totally false um the mainstream media
00:08:42.240
clearly didn't realize that their own fabrication was a fabrication and went into this I think the
00:08:48.800
Democrats taking their lead in their prep uh went into this and believing the straw man that they
00:08:55.640
themselves had created and that's that has fundamentally frustrated them on this occasion because they
00:09:01.240
should have been better prepared prepared we heard even in the cold open uh one of one of the
00:09:06.340
the MSNBC analysts were saying that he didn't is it Tim Walton didn't seem to be sufficiently prepared
00:09:12.240
and that is sound coming out even from Democratic insiders that he wasn't prepared interestingly
00:09:18.680
talking about the preparation JD Vance only did four prep sessions um because he didn't particularly
00:09:25.160
feel the need um so I think that just illustrates and it of course he didn't go in over prepared he went
00:09:31.920
in perfectly um the absolute correct blend of preparation and if I can say spontaneity um
00:09:39.680
you know and you mentioned the the anger that the reaction here's a thought though tell me whether
00:09:45.220
you think this is right obviously the liberals heads are exploding on this because it's yet further
00:09:51.780
evidence for them that their narrative is slipping out of their fingers but it seemed to me the
00:09:57.940
greatest antipathy towards JD Vance's success last night wasn't from one of the mainstream media
00:10:05.660
commentators it was from a notional Republican a rhino David from a guy who um is responsible for the um
00:10:14.460
the axis of evil expression um and uh propaganda back in uh the the opening years 2020 or the opening
00:10:23.060
years of of this uh millennium and the pretext for the the forever wars that followed in the Middle East
00:10:29.760
um that is I think illustrative that the the sections the military industrial complex wing
00:10:36.580
of the uniparty realize now that something fundamental is happening in America
00:10:41.540
yeah look I I mean the reason that I've gotten to know JD is because we both have kind of come of age
00:10:48.300
in this younger conservative milieu I mean we were both on the advisory board of an organization
00:10:53.760
called American Moment which is very much kind of a Trump era personnel administrative state staffing
00:10:58.920
focused organization we've spoken at the national conservatism conference many times I think we first
00:11:02.820
met at the NatCon conference back in 2019 but but the point is you know for our generation of
00:11:07.900
conservatives and JD Vance really is the emblematic one he is the chosen one I think for this younger
00:11:12.200
generation of America first conservatives I mean he came of age as we all did in a time where
00:11:18.300
we saw the failures of the David from Bill Kristol foreign policy overseas uh you know the the the
00:11:25.200
Dick Cheney swashbuckling neoconservatism trying to sculpt Jeffersonian Lockean democracies out of the
00:11:32.200
out of the sand of Iraq or or the mountains of Taliban infested Afghanistan I mean JD Vance is from Ohio he
00:11:38.400
has roots in Kentucky he has seen and witnessed and experienced and lived firsthand the failures of
00:11:44.140
neo-liberal laissez-faire fundamentalism when it comes to free trade and the and the stripping down
00:11:48.840
and the outsourcing of America's manufacturing supply chains I've gotten dinner with JD Vance
00:11:53.680
you know in Steubenville Ohio a tiny town and walking around Steubenville Ohio towns like this
00:11:59.800
you see you know you see what the Washington consensus when it comes to so-called free trade
00:12:05.920
with China you see it with your own eyes and those impressions simply cannot leave you
00:12:10.060
so for the people who have been in a DC bubble in the corridors of K streets and and the think tanks
00:12:15.840
and the so-called prestigious journals for the past 40 50 years who have promulgated policies that have
00:12:21.420
manifested in material terms failed the American people they're never going to be able to reconcile
00:12:26.040
that they're not going to be able to come to terms with the fact that their lifelong project
00:12:30.020
in many ways the so-called conservative movement has in many ways it's actually failed and it takes a
00:12:36.060
younger courageous breed of Republican to stare this down in the face to say no you know we're going
00:12:42.040
to learn from you what we ought to learn from you but in many ways you have actually failed you have
00:12:46.660
failed the country and that is what this younger breed of Republican younger breed of conservative
00:12:51.000
represents JD Vance gets that to his core so the David Frums of the world are never going to like him but
00:12:56.980
the opportunity for for JD Vance looking ahead to 2028 and and God knows how long he'll be on the
00:13:02.840
national stage after that the the opportunity is really nothing less than an FDR or Ronald Reagan
00:13:09.700
like fundamental reshaping of America's political lines I I think if this broader coalition of of
00:13:16.060
the center of people who neither support socialism nor free trade absolution with China this broad
00:13:22.080
economic national populism people who support a rational sane foreign policy that is neither isolationist
00:13:28.040
nor neoconservative if he can target this common sense coalition of the center this America first
00:13:33.920
movement he can fundamentally reshape America's political lines and win over voters to the Republican
00:13:39.080
party I think for an entire generation looking ahead 10 15 years from now look um 40 seconds 45 seconds if
00:13:46.540
you can you mentioned uh his potential future on the national stage JD is back right on the basis of his
00:13:52.700
debate performance he pulled in last night but the memories of expressions like childless cat ladies
00:13:58.880
which really only resonated with talking heads and not particularly with the American public itself
00:14:03.720
those those those expressions are now in the past and JD definitely um back has a future on the
00:14:10.280
national stage I I mean I think JD Vance is is going to be a fixture in American politics for a very long
00:14:16.780
time I I mean I after what I saw last night I think that whether this ticket wins or loses and God willing
00:14:22.320
it'll win but regardless I think that JD Vance has established himself as the Republican frontrunner
00:14:26.820
in 2028 after what I saw last night I mean that was a dominant dominant dominant performance there's
00:14:33.420
really no other way to look at it I mean he just absolutely crushed it out there Tim Walls probably has
00:14:38.840
his head in a bag this morning the guy's got to be so full of shame if he's even capable of that
00:14:43.140
I think JD Vance is going to be a fixture in our stage for a long time Ben
00:14:46.400
Josh do be the great courtesy if you would stay stay stay online we're going to go quickly
00:14:52.220
to North Carolina and then we'll come back to you and finish off your analysis
00:14:56.140
the elites are getting desperate they now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own
00:15:05.200
Orwellian purposes their gold to dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank
00:15:11.340
digital currencies which they control imagine your every purchase being called into question
00:15:17.020
your every move tracked like you live in a communist country this is not the America we want
00:15:23.000
but it is the America they want to create fortunately you can fight back I believe owning gold is the best
00:15:30.100

00:16:15.680
welcome back well we're all obviously watching the pictures from North Carolina and the devastation
00:16:28.240
that has been witnessed since Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida four days ago 750 people have
00:16:37.080
been killed I think 50 53 of them in Asheville in North Carolina itself and that's like well over a
00:16:45.660
third of the tragedies leaving the state with lines for groceries for gas to get into shelters to get into
00:16:56.200
charging stations to fill up the old cell phone and even then assuming there's going to be coverage to take a call
00:17:04.340
talking of which our call yesterday with Edward Graham very sadly failed at midpoint and we did obviously
00:17:12.080
give the reference to Samaritan's Purse the website for you to go to to make donations
00:17:17.520
um throughout the show but we're very honored to have Edward back online now hopefully this is a more
00:17:23.800
stable connection Edward thanks for coming back and joining us tell us you're now you're there in
00:17:29.800
Asheville you have um the the um the Billy Graham training centers in Cove right um you're telling me
00:17:37.240
yesterday that you'd actually been hit by some of the floods and then the line collapsed tell me a bit
00:17:41.440
more directly about how yourselves have been impacted I know the whole nation holds you and
00:17:46.840
your family in the highest possible esteem tell us a bit how you have been impacted and then more
00:17:51.620
generally in Asheville and the wider North Carolina state yeah well I'm actually in Boone North Carolina
00:17:57.540
which is higher up this is where the Samaritan's Purse international headquarters is but we do have
00:18:01.840
volunteers out here as well as in Asheville out um we've got our teams down there disaster relief teams
00:18:06.760
working out of the Billy Graham training center and as many know uh Montreat North Carolina which
00:18:12.060
is right beside Asheville is where my grandfather called home my dad was born and raised there and
00:18:17.680
it's just been decimated uh the community between the Billy Graham training center and Montreat called
00:18:23.740
Swannanoa is gone um and there's so much loss and devastation uh this is so bad that not just a guard
00:18:33.540
has been called out the active armies moving I got I was in the special operations for years I've got
00:18:38.240
friends and classmates from West Point calling me brigade commanders they've been activated these
00:18:43.080
engineer units are actually going into the Asheville area to begin work so you've got communities all the
00:18:49.240
way from Asheville to where I live here in Boone North Carolina along the Appalachian corridor there
00:18:53.540
that are just gone forever such destruction such despair but Samaritan's Purse we've already got
00:18:59.520
uh we we sent over a thousand volunteers out in North Carolina alone yesterday um and we've got other
00:19:06.140
locations in Florida and and one in Georgia that we're responding to these storms but our volunteers go
00:19:12.420
to let people know they're not forgotten they're not forsaken Jesus loves them so much that he died on
00:19:16.980
the cross for them so that's why we go and there's a lot of work to do well Samaritan's Purse itself
00:19:23.240
has a worldwide reputation both on the missionary fronts and also on the humanitarian fronts I can't
00:19:29.580
imagine you ever thought that in your life you would need to direct these resources um within North
00:19:36.400
Carolina itself yeah we you know we respond to storms all over and to include usually at the coast of North
00:19:43.940
Carolina with disaster relief but I'm using an asset we usually use in maybe the Caribbean or some of the
00:19:49.700
islands and that's our helicopters uh we've got a helicopter that's been going non-stop up here
00:19:54.400
delivering water supplies just yesterday it took it to a uh an old folks home an assisted living
00:20:01.260
facility that was out of power water medicines and they hadn't had a ship change since Friday
00:20:05.700
so we took the necessary equipment water uh communications uh took a big generator up there
00:20:11.700
and um and just brought reprieve and hope um they were crying the staff there when we talked to
00:20:18.440
them the other night we just found another one we're using our helicopters to get water to local
00:20:22.800
churches and to move on because we can do what they call sling load operations which is usually a
00:20:26.920
military capability but we can carry large amounts of weight underneath our helicopter and nets
00:20:31.340
and that's something that we usually use overseas so we're taking what we learned from
00:20:35.560
international disasters and we're implementing that here as well in the United States
00:20:40.500
you mentioned just a moment or so ago uh that entire communities have been wiped out
00:20:48.340
do you think there'll be a rebuild a reconstruction or will the the reconstruction take place around
00:20:55.280
existing undamaged cities moving forward so i i you know i looked at that first morning in boone
00:21:02.300
north carolina i saw over a thousand volunteers show up uh i'm proud of where i'm from here in the
00:21:08.200
south in the mountains of north carolina we've got great people you asked me we rebuild yeah america
00:21:13.420
rebuild it's what we do um but i pray you know america is built on the rock of jesus christ that
00:21:18.560
is the foundation of this nation now people have been trying to chip away and break away at that
00:21:23.040
but this is an opportunity for the church the body of christ to say jesus is the rock let's build our
00:21:29.680
house on the rock of jesus and no storms no rains no water can wash that away

course our prayers will will definitely stay with everybody there um over the unfolding hours um we'll go
00:24:41.220
quickly back to to josh hammer um to um josh thank you uh the question i had for you um before uh before
00:24:52.000
we had to go to to edward graham there was tim walsh referred to himself being a knucklehead uh when it
00:25:00.640
emerged that some of his narrative his personal experiences seemed to be totally fictitious he claimed
00:25:07.000
somewhat quixotically to have been in tiananmen square at the time of the protest what is your
00:25:13.180
like in one and a half minutes could you just quickly tell me what is what do you make of that
00:25:18.220
isn't that not absolutely astonishing that a candidate for vice president should have totally made up part of
00:25:25.000
his own personal narrative yeah i i mean the real question ben is what has tim walsh not lied about
00:25:32.560
at this point i i mean that particular lie the tiananmen square lie was so egregious that it was
00:25:38.040
no less than the new york times itself that that just outright said in an article this is not true
00:25:44.760
i mean the protest happened earlier in the summer in june if memory serves and he actually got to
00:25:49.760
tiananmen square or beijing i guess more generally in august of that year i mean it's just not accurate i
00:25:55.000
mean but you know tim walsh can't actually say on the national stage oh sorry i was just lying for
00:25:59.500
political exaggeration so i guess knucklehead is the best he can do i mean the way this guy talks
00:26:04.040
about you know his high school football coaching career i mean you think he was like bill belichick
00:26:09.240
or nick saban or something like that i mean have you won the heisman trophy or something dude but
00:26:13.240
i i i mean he has his ability where where he just tries to do this whole folksy midwestern thing
00:26:19.220
joe biden has a version of that too in his mind that's kind of the whole from scramble in
00:26:22.860
pennsylvania thing but it was it was great that they called him out on that again the moderators were
00:26:27.640
horrifically biased last night but i guess credit where credit is due they actually did bring this
00:26:31.340
up it was definitely one of the many low points of the evening for tim walls more generally ben as
00:26:36.320
you and i were talking about off camera tim tim walls did not show up last night i mean he was
00:26:41.040
he he was underprepared he he clearly did not rise to the moment i mean if we're just being candid
00:26:46.080
here he's operating he's operating probably about a full standard deviation or two below jd vance as far
00:26:51.460
as like like an iq level playing field so he's just clearly outwitted and outclassed up there but the
00:26:55.920
dude just didn't show up last night um he he certainly didn't and that's illustrative i think
00:27:01.420
of the general condition of the democrats right now including the top of the ticket stand by josh
00:27:06.120
we'll give your socials in two minutes when we come back after this short break with a massive tax
00:27:11.220

portion of our fleet mobile kitchens um and as well as construction trailers trucks we also are
00:32:03.280
partnering with the u.s disaster relief and the international teams that are actively engaged responding
00:32:08.000
to the needs on the ground and we're doing our part here at my patriots apply and you know during this
00:32:14.080
time it's always a reminder that we need to get prepared and this is what we do here at my patriot
00:32:19.120
supplies we help people get prepared for these types of situations you know there are still thousands
00:32:24.240
of people without power and and preparedness doesn't have to be a big task it can be something
00:32:29.480
as simple as having a a four-in-one emergency radio so you can have the communications to understand
00:32:35.120
what is going on even a power bank supply so you can charge your cell phones or those small
00:32:39.860
electronic devices having a solar power generator so you can power your c-pad machine and get you
00:32:44.880
what you need to get going you know of course the the basic items of having food and water available
00:32:50.340
hand on hand is is really something important to have and again if you don't know what to do don't
00:32:55.320
know how to get started you can contact us here at my patriot supply you can go to my patriot supply
00:33:00.720
dot com and look at the hundreds of items that we have for emergency preparedness from long-term
00:33:06.060
emergency food to water filtration items as well as to solar generator systems that can give you
00:33:11.820
the power that you need to turn on some lights in the evening we have fire starters so you can be able
00:33:17.160
to start a fire best a heater stove so you can heat up your your rooms if you need to when the power is
00:33:22.220
out all of these items is what we have here at my patrons at patriot supply we are currently shipping
00:33:27.820
orders right now for those who are wanting to get prepared you know again this is a good reminder
00:33:33.660
to to understand that emergency preparedness is not a bad thing you know it's becoming more and
00:33:39.640
more mainstream as we see that these weather systems and these storms are getting more intense
00:33:43.860
you know not only that but we have this global conflict that's happening over in the middle east
00:33:48.900
where iran launched missiles missiles into iran and as well as the port strike you know we we saw the
00:33:55.560
effects of the supply chain you know three years ago back in october of 2021 when the ports were
00:34:01.040
backed up with all the cargo ships and and the detrimental impact of having those ports you know
00:34:06.680
slowed down or even the the ports stopped so these are the things that that we try to educate people
00:34:12.600
that because we live in such a volatile time right now we're so interconnected things happen and it
00:34:18.600
causes a chain reaction you know we even had the verizon cell phone outage as well so there are a
00:34:24.240
multitude of things going on at once but again if i can do anything ben i just want to remind people that
00:34:30.340
that you don't have to be afraid you don't have to be scared you know there there's a lot of a peace
00:34:36.060
of mind in being prepared and if you don't know how to do it don't know what to do you can give us a
00:34:41.660
call in fact that number is 866-229-0927 again that number is 866-229-0927 here at my patriot supply
00:34:53.020
we're also donating a portion of all of our proceeds to help out with these with this relief effort and you
00:34:59.000
know it's it's our responsibility and our obligation and our privilege to be able to help those out in
00:35:04.420
need ben joe if anyone is listening to this show um and they're not for example they're not convinced
00:35:13.720
of the need to to stock their own pantries uh or or uh hardware um but they do want to assist
00:35:23.240
their fellow americans and they've heard the humanitarian work that you're contributing to

00:36:04.040
people like my patriot supply to help others get better prepared and to educate people that again
00:36:09.920
emergency preparedness is a real thing and and like i said before there is peace and power in being
00:36:15.940
prepared to give you that peace of mind and that confidence that should you have to evacuate your home
00:36:20.920

00:36:26.640
family um one of the things that we like to talk about too is a get up and go kit you know this is a simple
00:36:32.440
backpack something something like this it doesn't have to be this kit but it can be something very similar to it to
00:36:36.940
where you can put a first aid kit you can put in a change of clothes a sweatshirt um you can put in some water
00:36:42.520
filtration bottles you can put in some some long-term emergency calorie bars you can put in some other items in there that way
00:36:48.920

00:37:47.000
many thanks indeed for joining us on the show today joe god bless catch up again with you soon
00:37:51.980
all right you guys be safe thank you now today i believe it's today 75th anniversary of communist china
00:38:01.620
um happy birthday ccp um and xi jinping has repeated his pledge to achieve reunification inverted
00:38:14.560
commas with taiwan well colonel mills you just got back from taiwan tell me uh what is the mood there
00:38:22.300
like uh right now oh thank you ben uh they're getting uh prepared it was just an order we're just
00:38:31.120
given that 400 000 civilians uh were essentially mobilized to be uh help in supply logistics medical
00:38:40.100
disaster response and recovery so they're they are building a a large infrastructure of support
00:38:47.860
uh for just such a if if it goes kinetic it's looking bad when i was there they said they were
00:38:54.580
concerned they're going to be quarantined like the cuban missile crisis quarantined that means
00:39:00.220
ships were going to be stopped uh inspected or turned away the first of just the first 200 harpoon
00:39:07.860
long-range missiles just arrived and were offloaded in kaosheng that's exactly the kind of cargo and
00:39:14.640
that's exactly why the chinese have penetrated log ink one of the international logistics software
00:39:21.600
platforms so they can know the manifest of each of these ships so they could potentially block ships
00:39:27.920
block aircraft turn away aircraft or if they know the manifest and there's somebody they want to
00:39:33.120
render uh into prison they could force the aircraft down and also cut the undersea cables and they just
00:39:39.300
did a ballistic missile launch extremely provocative they haven't done one in 44 years landed 2 000 miles
00:39:47.720
directly south of hawaii that is a message if we don't do something in response quick it shows that
00:39:57.440
the scenes or right across the world the scenes seem to be uh moving towards world war three um
00:40:08.760
and that's a very salutary observation that you just made um tell me because 75 years for the ccp then
00:40:17.700
today um nobody wants them to reach their 100th birthday and most people seem to think sooner or later
00:40:25.000
this this this thing this wicked evil regime is going to run out of steam just very very quickly
00:40:30.300
um what is the view in taiwan on this do they sort of do they have a feeling that the final grains
00:40:38.400
of sand of this regime are bouncing around the bottom of the hourglass one minute if you please
00:40:45.340
yeah they just say give us the weapons with they've already bought and paid for we will defend
00:40:52.300
ourselves we don't need americans on the ground just the weapons we've already bought and paid for
00:40:57.500
there's 19 major sales they want the weapons so they can defend themselves they have a a
00:41:03.200
churchillian resolve to defend the island uh and their country i'm going to the embassy tonight the
00:41:09.800
taiwan embassy there's a celebration of over 100 years of history of the country of taiwan
00:41:15.120

emergency food kit now at mypatriotsupply.com i want to warn you of a huge change that could be
00:42:44.320
coming to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government
00:42:50.000
pushed through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans
00:42:54.760
by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of
00:43:01.980
the independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling
00:43:06.500
author is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying
00:43:12.440
new level in fact some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:43:17.620
expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the
00:43:24.440
wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:43:31.260

00:43:38.100
rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on what he
00:43:43.340
believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money watch jim's
00:43:50.780
warning video now before it's censored like i've been in the past go to rickardswarroom.com
00:43:57.460
that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video here's your host stephen k van
00:44:04.300
colonel mills i know you have an interesting observation also about the philippines but just
00:44:15.140
tell me some more uh if you wouldn't mind seeing as you have direct personal experience
00:44:18.920
of taiwan you've just come back just tell me something about your personal experiences
00:44:23.860
whilst you were there on the island well two two events happened while i was on the island it was
00:44:29.040
a great week uh sponsored we met a number of government ministries and think tanks they believe
00:44:34.920
strongly uh in their island now on thursday of the week the u.s and the eu put out a very strong
00:44:42.540
statement of support for taiwan and this is so critical they left out this stupid one one which
00:44:49.620
was good they left out the one china statement which when i first started as a government official
00:44:54.960
started going to taiwan 12 years ago i said this one china thing makes no sense we're not a dump it and
00:45:01.420
we need to stop uh bowing to china on this so they left it out huge caused a number of air incursions
00:45:08.380
they lost an aircraft the taiwanese lost an aircraft uh engine malfunction uh but it was a great week
00:45:15.560
they have six months of energy six months of food they feel the reality of being a country they're
00:45:22.120
only down to 12 countries that officially recognize them they feel constricted but they're
00:45:27.340
proud of their roots and their heritage i was brought to a prison uh where during the reign of white
00:45:33.840
terror of cheng kai shek who used to be our guy um you know he was a brutal thug and there was a
00:45:41.560
gentleman there who gave a tour of the prison he had spent 12 years there for no reason
00:45:45.780
a very very emotional visit and he says we are now a democratic republic and we believe in our
00:45:52.320
country they graduated from totalitarianism to being a model democratic republic and they don't
00:45:58.180
want to go back and they don't want to join uh this this this fallacy that there's some connection
00:46:03.720
they are an independent country so quite emotional during the prison tour of this gentleman and the
00:46:09.600
graduation they they are a country they don't need anybody's approval or blessing to be a country
00:46:14.960
they feel independent and uh we need to figure out a way to get them some form of uh un recognition
00:46:22.360
the the general assembly just uh uh just left it was 2007 it looks like uh one of our bush folks i
00:46:30.260
think i know who it was pocket vetoed their request to join the un shameful shameful that that happened
00:46:37.060
uh but that was i believe our director of national intelligence at the time everybody can look up
00:46:42.040
and see who that was um so proud country and about the philippines yeah if you're looking at if i was a
00:46:50.280
pla planner and we were going to go kinetic beyond unrestricted warfare i'd go after the philippines
00:46:57.240
first the filipinos are great i love them they're wonderful they don't have the heavy artillery they don't
00:47:03.980
have the long-range missiles they're trying to get them they if i look they're just not ready if i was
00:47:10.120
a planner i'd say why am i going to go up against taiwan when you got luzon the northern island and
00:47:15.560
especially the important botanese islands those are midway between taiwan and the philippines
00:47:21.080
they seize the botanese islands that are essentially unprotected uh they control the access point for
00:47:27.500
their submarines to the deep pacific so if i'm a planner i'm going let's go after the botanese
00:47:33.600
that's philippine territory so that's dangerous we're trying to put missiles there now but they're
00:47:38.300
not there now and we gotta we gotta move faster on this and uh you know it would be nice if there
00:47:44.320
was somebody encumbering of the the presidency that was giving direction and guidance apparently
00:47:48.900
we have no president right now uh brian kennedy is just micing up and he's coming on um just after
00:47:56.800
the the break i think uh from the committee on the present danger also to talk about china and israel
00:48:02.700
as well and as you're talking you know you're mentioning taiwan you're mentioning the philippines
00:48:07.420
he's going to be talking about israel obviously there's ukraine in the background one question
00:48:12.460
is you know it's always on the back of my mind when i hear about how um how america is underwriting
00:48:20.160
the freedom and security of countries around the world uh in the face of their rather larger
00:48:26.600
despotic neighbors but in those can america afford to do everything uh bearing in mind of course
00:48:33.640
famously that you guys are adding one trillion dollars to your uh to your national debt every hundred days
00:48:40.940
well yeah if we we secured the southern border and stopped giving this god-awful mess of of
00:48:48.860
largesse out of the out of the treasury that would save a lot of money job one is to secure the border
00:48:55.080
and take care of americans like in north carolina tennessee and south carolina that's job one
00:49:01.860
this just this hateful behavior they've weaponized fema aid uh i mean i used to be the the liaison
00:49:10.000
from dod to fema uh that was my last uniformed assignment and i just the the lethargy of fema in
00:49:18.220
responding to this situation this is clearly weaponized and political this is uh east palestine
00:49:24.080
on steroids so we'd save a lot of money if we just stopped giving out these debit cards with fifty
00:49:30.240
thousand dollars and stop paying for all these illegals to stay at these hotels i mean we'd say we'd save a
00:49:37.000
boatload of money and we could use it to secure the border and uh properly allocate military aid because
00:49:43.860
china is intent on collapsing america through unrestricted warfare which sometimes means kinetic
00:49:51.960
warfare look we wouldn't have the missile launches by iran on israel if it wasn't for china
00:49:57.740
iran russia north korea venezuela are colonies of china at this point in time the one calling the
00:50:06.860
shots on the on the world on fire and president trump has used this term many times i've used
00:50:11.820
that in my brief for several years we are a world on fire at home 10 000 dead a month if people have
00:50:19.080
not we've all seen the bodies in the street what more evidence do we need if that's not compelling we've
00:50:25.780
lost more in one year than 40 years of combat in the entire vietnam war and war on terror combined
00:50:32.540
at home from fentanyl 100 from china made under their supervision in northern mexico if that's not
00:50:40.000
compelling i don't know what is but we could save a buck stop giving out these debit cards this is to
00:50:45.540
the illegals this is just insulting my wife is in is in tucson she can't get a decent hotel because of
00:50:52.460
the the the blue crazy mayor in tucson is uh using federal money to buy hotel rooms for these
00:50:59.020

doing well my name is trevor comstock i'm one of the co-creators of sacred human and i wanted to share
00:53:34.180
just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet but about six months ago
00:53:39.060
we decided to launch sacred human with really the simple mission being to provide american-made natural
00:53:45.380
supplements without all the artificial nonsense so unfortunately as many of you know a lot of these
00:53:51.940
big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives artificial ingredients and other
00:53:57.060
additives that really aren't benefiting your health so that's why we created sacred human really trying
00:54:02.180
to fill this gap of quality supplements and of course the beef liver being our flagship products
00:54:08.020
for those who don't know beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin a
00:54:13.940
b12 zinc coq10 etc and because it is 100 grass-fed and natural your body is able to absorb these
00:54:22.900
nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in
00:54:28.980
general so we have some other amazing products but if you'd like to check us out you can go to
