Transcript

00:00:00.260 Discretionary spending, you're going to have a firestorm.
00:00:02.760 You had a firestorm last week and kind of quasi-blinked a little bit, let's be honest,
00:00:06.380 blinked a tad, pulled back the memo but not the content of the memo.
00:00:10.540 The guys in the drought, all the Republican Congressmen are freaking out
00:00:13.560 because the constituents are called.
00:00:15.480 That's just to find out where the money is in the system.
00:00:17.820 Now we have to have cuts.
00:00:19.200 You cannot cut a penny from federal spending unless you start in the Defense Department.
00:00:24.900 Let me say this again.
00:00:25.880 Let's have an adult conversation.
00:00:27.080 Unless you start in the Defense Department, you cannot have any cuts.
00:00:31.520 So the Doge team, you're up to the National Oceanographic, wherever the hell you are,
00:00:36.260 it's all good, do it.
00:00:37.320 But until you cross the Potomac, it's not real.
00:00:42.080 Until you cross the Potomac, this is like McClellan's Army, right?
00:00:47.240 Until you cross the Potomac and go over into Northern Virginia to the Pentagon
00:00:54.280 and put a team and, hey, we'll get them as much, you know,
00:00:58.580 they don't need classifications and high security.
00:01:24.280 The medical industry in D.C. is the most corrupt, the most corrupt.
00:01:32.100 And so we're just going to sit there?
00:01:33.200 You're telling me we're just going to sit here?
00:01:35.280 We're just going to sit here and not avoid that?
00:01:37.940 Quickly to follow up on what Peter was asking,
00:01:40.000 have you directed Elon Musk to review Pentagon spending,
00:01:43.220 given it's the biggest discretionary spending in the federal budget?
00:01:46.100 Pentagon, education, just about everything.
00:01:49.320 We're going to go through everything.
00:01:50.480 Just as it was so bad with what we just went through
00:01:53.680 with this horrible situation we just went through,
00:01:56.120 and I guess 97% of the people have been dismissed.
00:01:59.940 It was very, very unfortunate.
00:02:01.700 You're not going to find anything like that,
00:02:03.340 but you're going to find a lot.
00:02:05.280 And I've instructed him to go check out education,
00:02:08.560 to check out the Pentagon, which is the military.
00:02:11.400 And, you know, sadly, you'll find some things that are pretty bad.
00:02:14.060 But I don't think proportionally you're going to see anything like we just saw.
00:02:20.300 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:02:25.180 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:02:30.400 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:02:34.660 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:02:36.640 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:02:38.060 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:02:39.760 but you're not going to stop it.
00:02:40.680 It's going to happen.
00:02:41.740 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:02:45.340 Mega Media.
00:02:46.260 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:02:52.140 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:02:55.900 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:03:02.200 War Room.
00:03:03.100 Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:03:11.740 Dave Bratt, welcome to the War Room.
00:03:14.260 Sitting in with the great Stephen K.
00:03:16.580 Bannon.
00:03:17.120 Proud to say sitting in, we got Steve by phone.
00:03:19.660 We got Jack Posobiec.
00:03:21.100 You just heard Stephen K.
00:03:23.560 Bannon in the cold open saying he got across the Potomac pretty timely.
00:03:29.360 Yesterday, he's been saying that for a week.
00:03:31.280 And now the president says, let's take a look at the DOD and Department of Education.
00:03:37.100 Steve, are you with us?
00:03:38.940 I'm with you, Dave.
00:03:39.900 And thank you for having me.
00:03:41.620 And I'll be back at 6 o'clock.
00:03:43.460 Had to be out here for a while at some meetings.
00:03:46.120 But a big day today, as we've been recommending nonstop for a week on the show and in different interviews I've done for the Wall Street Journal and for New York Times and Piers Morgan, you know, the TV news in England all over, is to say, you know, hey, if we're serious about this, if we're serious about cutting the budget, we have a 14 March deadline, midnight of 14 March.
00:04:11.320 And you're not going to, you know, all this stuff we're doing are rewiring the system and checking out where waste fraud abuse is fantastic.
00:04:17.140 That's fine.
00:04:18.000 But you've got to get south of the Potomac.
00:04:19.960 You've got to go to Arlington.
00:04:21.280 You have to go to the Pentagon.
00:04:23.300 That's where you're going to find opportunities to actually cut, you know, cut federal spending.
00:04:28.480 We're all hawks and, you know, we're all pro-defense.
00:04:30.960 But to cut spending, and once you do that, that picks the lock of being able to cut discretionary spending and also cut some portions of Medicaid.
00:04:38.780 You're not going to be able to touch Social Security and Medicare, but if we're serious about this.
00:04:43.520 And finally, I think people are waking up a bunch of articles this afternoon after our show this morning talking about how the Democrats are digging in on the 14th of March, and they're going to try to force Trump to shut down the government.
00:04:53.780 So the reconciliation bills are all nice.
00:04:55.600 That's fine.
00:04:56.120 They're working deals and, you know, sentencing one thing, House doing another, Johnson's wandering around.
00:05:00.660 We have to get serious.
00:05:02.200 And to get serious, President Trump instructed Elon Musk to do what Elon Musk didn't want to do.
00:05:07.200 But Elon Musk has been avoiding this.
00:05:09.660 He's been avoiding it because he's a massive government contractor.
00:05:13.200 He's a defense contractor.
00:05:14.580 And we've got to get to the defense department.
00:05:16.560 That's kind of the mac daddy of corruption and incompetence in our system.
00:05:21.940 And this is one of the reasons Pete Hex is over there.
00:05:24.500 Pete's over there to instill the warrior ethos and the fighting spirit in there.
00:05:28.020 And we have to have their back.
00:05:29.980 And now we have to have Elon's back when he goes over there.
00:05:32.820 But he must go over there with his troops.
00:05:35.080 No need to do Social Security and anything else.
00:05:38.060 Just get over south of the Potomac, cross the Potomac River, go to the Pentagon.
00:05:43.300 They should start tomorrow morning on a Saturday and just work all the way through because we have a March 14th deadline that we're either going to have to find some cuts here or just kick the can down the road on a CR that already has a $2 trillion deficit baked in it.
00:05:57.780 And now, you know, Posobiec knows this.
00:05:59.500 He and I have talked a lot about it, why you've got to go to the Pentagon and have Pete Hex is back.
00:06:04.080 But Elon's got to get over there.
00:06:05.360 And I'm so glad the president instructed him to get on with it.
00:06:11.460 Yeah, Jack, you want to take it from there?
00:06:13.660 When I was in Congress, there's a Gordian knot.
00:06:16.000 You know, the defense almost is a jobs program.
00:06:19.160 All great men and women, but a lot of inefficiencies, a lot of depots sitting around that could be shut down.
00:06:25.520 But they're tied to every congressman's job numbers and performance and the heat they'll take.
00:06:31.900 What are you anticipating, Jack?
00:06:33.860 You saw with USAID just started a spiral and then a hurricane came out of it.
00:06:40.320 Do you think you're going to see the same logic unfold with DOD, Jack Posobiec?
00:06:44.520 Well, Dave, as I've said here on The War Room many times, you want to start with issues over at the Department of Defense.
00:06:50.220 Why don't you take a look at some of those generals right out there in the E-ring of the Pentagon, these woke generals that were brought up and all their woke staffs that have come along with them.
00:07:00.820 You want to offer people some early retirement.
00:07:03.080 I think it'd be more, more than than appropriate to start going around.
00:07:08.380 You want to get rid of the wokeness.
00:07:09.540 It's the same deal with the Pentagon.
00:07:11.140 It's the same deal with the FBI.
00:07:12.700 It's the same deal across the military.
00:07:14.600 It is personnel.
00:07:16.080 You have to focus on the personnel.
00:07:18.040 So the buyouts, I would certainly offer that there.
00:07:20.440 But then you're talking about the administrative staff.
00:07:22.580 You're talking about your S1.
00:07:24.720 You've even talked about your S3, these operations type.
00:07:27.660 You've got so many layers baked in of redundancies and duplication that are going on over there.
00:07:34.900 You've got so many redundancies.
00:07:36.140 By the way, not only in terms of the personnel, you just look at the spending.
00:07:39.780 You look at the outlays.
00:07:40.820 You look at the boondoggles that go on all these conferences all over the world.
00:07:45.300 And it's held by this staffer in this office and that office.
00:07:48.180 And the amount of money that they pay, and I'm just going to say it, people are going to get very upset when I say this, the amount of money that they spend on some of these programs, they can't even get off the ground.
00:07:58.580 Steve, you and I have talked many times about the littoral combat craft, the littoral combat ship, the LCS program, which has been a complete failure in the United States Navy.
00:08:07.260 You talk about the failures that we've seen with the railgun technology, and we're talking about millions and billions of dollars, not to mention all the overruns on the F-35 and again and again.
00:08:17.060 Look, you get the rot out.
00:08:18.600 You get the crap out of there because – and keep in mind, this DEI stuff isn't just when it comes to hiring.
00:08:24.740 It also comes down to the contractors.
00:08:26.700 They say, oh, you want someone to build one of these programs, build an aircraft carrier, build an LCS, build a railgun, all this.
00:08:32.140 Well, you've got to have a certain quota of this racial type and this – you need just so many Eskimos and this many people with disabilities and Native American and all the rest and everything, as opposed to saying who can do it the best or the most efficient quality at the lowest price.
00:08:48.980 It's as simple as that.
00:08:50.540 We want to make the Pentagon great again and make the U.S. military great again.
00:08:56.080 And absolutely, that means going down and looking at all these preferential treatments that go through the system.
00:09:03.180 One day, Dave, also, President Trump's geostrategically going to a hemispheric defense, a Monroe Doctrine 5.0.
00:09:13.000 We need to make sure that the force structure is tied to the hemispheric defense from the Arctic in Greenland all the way down to the Panama Canal.
00:09:20.920 This is a naval strategy.
00:09:22.040 You've got the three island chains in the Pacific that make us a Pacific power.
00:09:27.060 You have to align our force structure, which has been in CENCOM, as you know, Dave, for really for 30 years since the Gulf War.
00:09:34.660 So it's time to do a total rethink.
00:09:37.120 There could be really significant cuts over there and still actually add to our national defense, put economic warfare in there against the Chinese Communist Party, cut them off from capital, cut them off from technology.
00:09:48.060 Let's see how tough they are.
00:09:49.140 It's great that President Trump ordered Elon to go over there.
00:09:53.660 It's time now to make sure that he gets over there quickly.
00:09:56.760 And let's get the job done.
00:09:59.320 Yeah, Steve, you've been covering this.
00:10:01.720 The warm audience, I think, is expecting some fireworks in the days to come here with DOD.
00:10:08.480 But with the USAID, you know, the press, their heads exploded because they're all tied to that agency.
00:10:18.660 And then the spillover and ripple effects were huge.
00:10:22.060 What do you expect any of those ripple effects coming out of DOD?
00:10:27.420 Anything you anticipate?
00:10:28.580 Listen, it's not going to be as egregious.
00:10:31.620 Poso, jump in here.
00:10:32.660 I mean, you probably get a special announcement to make here.
00:10:34.980 But look, Hexos over there, we love Hexos.
00:10:37.680 I'm sure they're going to find our kind of stuff.
00:10:39.140 But USAID, people should understand, that was a $40 to $50 billion a year slush fund for the communists and Marxists in our system, the Samantha Powers of the world.
00:10:48.720 The worst people, the Victoria in New England, Samantha Powers, the worst people in this government, a slush fund, a CIA cutout to, you know, have NGOs finance the invasion of our country and have all these woke groups try to suppress MAGA voices.
00:11:03.480 So it's the worst of the worst.
00:11:04.960 I doubt we'll ever find anything as bad as that near the Pentagon, although you're going to be shocked.
00:11:09.040 I'm sure it's in the incompetence and some of the duplication.
00:11:12.280 But over there, I think it's getting forced structure to match strategy and a strategy, Jack Posobiec, that wins wars.
00:11:18.720 No more fighting 20 years to a tie.
00:11:22.720 Jack.
00:11:23.220 No, look, you need to have the force laid down where the commander's intent is extremely delineated from step one.
00:11:30.740 No more of this managing.
00:11:32.080 No, we're going to manage the cartel problem.
00:11:34.180 We're going to manage the Taliban.
00:11:35.920 We're going to manage al-Qaeda.
00:11:37.400 We're going to manage ISIS.
00:11:38.580 No, it's the same way President Trump, by the way, took out ISIS in the first instance, not this ISIS 2.0 that's blowing up, by the way, which Tulsi Gabbard, the cynical Colonel Gabbard,
00:11:48.720 expertly, I would say, gave a master class on how this was the unintended consequences of bad decisions in the Middle East because, OK, you got rid of Assad.
00:11:59.640 You know, this I've heard the story before.
00:12:01.420 We got rid of Saddam Hussein.
00:12:03.940 And look what happened with Iraq and the sectarian violence.
00:12:06.460 Now the same thing is happening in Syria where the OK, the brutal dictator is gone.
00:12:11.940 The butcher is gone.
00:12:12.640 Got it.
00:12:13.320 But guess what?
00:12:13.920 Who's going to backfill that?
00:12:14.960 Oh, you got the Sunni headchoppers.
00:12:16.440 You've got Shia headchoppers.
00:12:18.020 You've got the whole gamut over there.
00:12:19.900 Steve, as you would say, the dog's breakfast that's completely exploding with the collapse of the Syrian state.
00:12:26.120 So the question is, what's in it for the United States?
00:12:28.920 What's in our actual national interest?
00:12:31.780 If we're going to go pick a fight, let's pick a fight to win.
00:12:34.580 And then we come home.
00:12:36.180 It's as simple as that.
00:12:37.180 And the fight that I hear that is going to be picked, according to the reporting of Todd Benzman yesterday here on the program,
00:12:43.700 as well as Ben Berquam down there on the border, is that they are taking a serious look at going kinetic on the cartels.
00:12:50.180 And guess what?
00:12:51.340 The cartels have a direct impact on U.S. citizens and U.S. territory in ways that these groups in far-off places like Dijer and Boko Haram, guess what?
00:13:00.880 I understand that these are bad guys, but we need to focus on home first, Fortress America.
00:13:07.220 Yeah, Steve and Jack, whoever wants to weigh in.
00:13:10.720 Thayer, we always have on the War Room, a 30-year miss on intelligence with China by our elitist experts.
00:13:19.360 It's 30 years of a fatal miss.
00:13:24.960 Comments on that in relation to DOD.
00:13:27.520 Steve?
00:13:28.680 Well, obviously it's been a 30-year miss.
00:13:31.180 You've got to ask the question, was it a miss of incompetence or malfeasance?
00:13:34.560 I mean, Jack, you would know we lost all the agents we had in China.
00:13:38.700 Elite merger.
00:13:39.640 So it's been a disgrace.
00:13:40.780 Elite merger.
00:13:43.100 Yes.
00:13:43.500 Yeah, and so the economics, the tradeoffs, as you go through to China, to the Pacific, that imposes hard costs on the folks who are going to lose resources.
00:14:00.660 Where are we going to hear that, Jack?
00:14:02.040 Where are we going to hear the screaming and the pain coming from?
00:14:04.460 Oh, you're going to hear it from everywhere.
00:14:07.240 You're going to hear it from all sources.
00:14:08.540 They're going to say it's training rundowns.
00:14:10.460 You're going to hear that it's supply rundowns.
00:14:12.340 But at the end of the day, it's the run-ups in costs and contracts that are way above board.
00:14:16.780 Look, you need a negotiator in there.
00:14:18.120 And I think President Trump, through Secretary Hegsteth, is the man to do it.
00:14:21.100 Yep, outstanding.
00:14:24.540 Back with Stephen K. Bannon and Jack Posobiec.
00:14:27.920 And then we got Bill Federer coming up on the show.
00:14:31.840 We're going to go through the economic 10-year statistics that just came out yesterday.
00:14:40.560 The debt bomb, $2 trillion for the next 10 years, $2 trillion a year for 10 years.
00:14:45.700 So another $20 trillion in debt on top of the current debt.
00:14:50.120 Steve Bannon's been saying that is the issue that we have to contend with,
00:14:54.780 calling on the House and Senate to respond.
00:14:57.240 Stay tuned.
00:14:58.580 We've seen all the headlines, cyber attacks on our power grids, drones in the sky,
00:15:02.680 violent attacks on everyday Americans.
00:15:05.060 The ugly truth is no leader, no system can protect you from everything.
00:15:09.820 And the last thing I want is to be standing in line depending on help that may never come.
00:15:15.180 And when crisis hits, food is always the first casualty.
00:15:19.480 Everyone needs it, and panic buying makes things worse.
00:15:22.560 You remember this from the pandemic.

00:16:05.680 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:16.000 Dave Bratt sitting in with the great Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:18.780 Jack Posobiec on deck.
00:16:20.240 And we have Jane Zirkle waiting in West Palm Beach on the runway.
00:16:25.560 Air Force One is making its way in.
00:16:27.960 Jane, what news you got to report to us?
00:16:30.060 President Trump is returning home to the winter White House Mar-a-Lago
00:16:36.760 because the Republican Senate Committee is holding their annual winter meeting over at the Breakers,
00:16:42.540 just a few miles away from here.
00:16:44.220 And tonight, he is hosting a dinner at Mar-a-Lago for a select number of GOP senators
00:16:49.520 to essentially make their pitch for their two-pathway reconciliation bill.
00:16:54.060 This is the War Room proposal, the two-part reconciliation versus the one big jumbo reconciliation
00:17:00.940 that Mike Johnson is introducing.
00:17:03.500 Now, Lindsey Graham, who heads the Budget Committee, as well as Senate Majority Leader John Thune,
00:17:08.540 have really stood firm on this.
00:17:10.100 You know, John Thune released a statement earlier today on X when they beat the House to the punch here
00:17:14.880 in releasing their proposal saying that the American people delivered a mandate for President Trump
00:17:19.500 to fulfill the MAGA agenda through border security, through fixing our economy,
00:17:23.720 through repairing our military and making America energy independent once again.
00:17:28.580 And that's what the Senate's goals here are.
00:17:31.320 And it's going to really expose in the broader context.
00:17:34.020 You know, we saw this week with the corruption through USAID
00:17:37.940 how our Republican representatives have continually voted for this radical and weaponized spending.
00:17:44.060 And it's going to show who sides with the Uniparty and who sides with the American people
00:17:49.360 and President Trump's MAGA agenda.
00:17:53.160 Yeah, that's very well said.
00:17:54.840 And the Senate, you know, it's kind of a shocker.
00:17:57.160 The Senate hasn't done any of the 12 approach bills ever since I was in Congress.
00:18:01.220 I can't remember them.
00:18:02.760 And so this change of heart, I mean, you've seen it on paper.
00:18:07.580 Are you buying it?
00:18:08.580 Is there any tricks up the sleeve there on the Senate side?
00:18:14.040 Or is this just a total turnaround due to the election?
00:18:19.880 Well, listen, what the war room wants, and it's been our position for a long time,
00:18:23.460 is that we need massive spending cuts and we need them now.
00:18:26.300 We can no longer kick this burden down the line.
00:18:29.280 We have to address this problem.
00:18:33.480 Good.
00:18:33.940 I think you might have frozen.
00:18:35.220 Jane, let me come back to you.
00:18:36.300 What's Thune said about the nature of the spending cuts that they're going to put on the table?
00:18:46.320 I think we might have lost Jane.
00:18:48.080 Hey, Jack, Jack Posobiec is with us.
00:18:51.300 Jack, I think you were getting ready to report.
00:18:53.960 You told me over the break the NATO summit is coming up with the defense ministers.
00:18:57.960 And then after that, the Munich Security Conference is coming up.
00:19:02.800 What all is entailed in those meetings and why they matter to the war room?
00:19:07.620 That's right, Dave.
00:19:08.460 Well, so as you know, the war room, of course, is how he's had a large geopolitical focus,
00:19:12.800 focused on the geopolitical, geoeconomic going on around the entire world.
00:19:16.920 And so as the first part, the first phase of President Trump's move to make the United States a hemispheric power and return to the Monroe Doctrine,
00:19:25.800 that also means winding down and putting to bed these forever wars and these commitments that the United States is currently embroiled in,
00:19:33.640 probably the largest and most well-known of these, the current Ukraine war, which is the United States proxy war against Russia right now.
00:19:40.460 So Pete Hegseth, Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President Vance are making a two-pronged trip to Europe next week to deliver this message from the president of the United States to the European leaders.
00:19:52.320 President Trump himself notably will not be on the trip.
00:19:55.280 Also, his special envoy, General Keith Kellogg, is going to be attending as well.
00:19:59.360 So you got Secretary Hegseth will be headed over to Brussels, going into Belgium directly to the NATO foreign ministers.
00:20:06.460 So all the ministers of NATO, they're meeting there.
00:20:09.140 Hegseth is going to them to deliver the message of where the United States will draw the lines.
00:20:13.580 He's also going to be doing some meetings with troop visits around next week around the Horn in Europe.
00:20:18.960 Then you got J.D. Vance and General Kellogg will be attending the Munich Security Conference later next week.
00:20:26.000 And so what people need to understand is the Munich Security Conference,
00:20:29.400 this is where the heads of state typically go to discuss how the world will be run on a military basis.
00:20:36.800 And this is really where the NATO conflagration and NATO decisions,
00:20:40.660 their run-up on the borders of Russia and all of this got started.
00:20:45.140 Go back to 2007.
00:20:48.020 And who addressed the Munich Security Conference?
00:20:50.300 It was none other than Vladimir Putin himself, came to Munich in 2007.
00:20:56.120 He was invited by the German chairman at the time and said,
00:21:00.780 I will work with NATO, but do not run NATO up against the borders of Russia.
00:21:07.180 George W. Bush disagreed and started doing exactly that in country after country as NATO moved further and further east.
00:21:15.040 This all led to the final Munich Security Conference pre-war, where who was sent from the United States?
00:21:21.460 That's right, another vice president, Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:21:25.360 And while Russia had all those troops on the border with Ukraine,
00:21:29.660 Kamala Harris flew over there to Munich and stood with the Ukrainians and said,
00:21:33.860 we will put, will, didn't say may, didn't say possibly, didn't say looking at.
00:21:38.860 She said, we will accept Ukraine into NATO.
00:21:42.740 And of course, if everyone remembers, it was only a few days later when the Russians invaded.
00:21:47.940 So that was coming out, coming in the hills.
00:21:49.920 We're almost about to hit the three-year anniversary of the start of the Ukraine war.
00:21:54.800 So this will be where there's those key decisions in the negotiations of the peace process will continue.
00:22:00.940 Now, I understand that General Kellogg will be making a further trip past Munich all the way in.
00:22:07.200 He's going to Kiev for a sit-down with Zelensky himself.
00:22:10.660 It wouldn't surprise me, by the way, if Zelensky, we haven't seen the full guest list yet,
00:22:15.300 but it wouldn't surprise me if President Zelensky also makes an appearance at the NATO summit
00:22:20.420 or the Munich Security Conference or possibly both.
00:22:23.020 But he's, of course, as we know, been running around.
00:22:25.940 He's on Piers Morgan and he's going on all these interviews lately
00:22:29.940 and really just searching for any deal that he possibly can,
00:22:32.940 because I think he realizes that this thing is being wound to an end,
00:22:36.640 just the same way that President Trump told us that it would be doing so.
00:22:41.600 Yeah, and so the globalists are not going to sit content.
00:22:45.760 I gave a talk the other day over at the Atlantic Council.
00:22:48.420 One of the former ambassadors gave some remarks that were accommodative to Trump,
00:22:54.240 kind of surprisingly, but they were accommodative only because they want the war to go on.
00:23:00.520 And so there's a discussion of the rare earth metals and a trade of rare earth metals for ongoing weapons
00:23:07.960 to keep the war going against Russia versus the mega war room preference.
00:23:13.760 Get out of there and don't.
00:23:15.380 And Trump does not want to be tied to this war in any shape or form.
00:23:20.440 Which way are you seeing the wind blowing on that one, Jack?
00:23:23.260 Well, President Trump made it very clear on the campaign trail that his commitment would be to ending the Ukraine war
00:23:31.460 and leading to a ceasefire.
00:23:32.900 And so it seems as though the Ukrainian side leaked yesterday a set of potential conditional proposals
00:23:39.900 for a ceasefire deal between the Ukrainians and the Russians.
00:23:43.960 This included a phased conversation, a series of phone calls,
00:23:47.980 and then meetings between Putin and Zelensky directly.
00:23:50.900 We know from the Russian side there's Russian media reporting about a potential sit-down either in Saudi Arabia
00:23:57.120 or possibly Dubai, but having the Gulf really broker this,
00:24:00.920 which of course totally underpins the fact that energy and oil and natural gas play such a huge role
00:24:07.860 into what's really driving this war behind the scenes.
00:24:11.660 And it's all about the energy supplies to Europe.
00:24:14.540 This is, of course, where Nord Stream 2 comes in and American LNG exports to Europe.
00:24:20.280 So when we're looking at all of that, I think it's going to be more along the lines of a ceasefire.
00:24:26.160 But at the same time, I would not be surprised for what are some of the things that Zelensky's been asking for.
00:24:31.920 Look, he's asking for nuclear weapons.
00:24:33.680 He's not going to get nuclear weapons.
00:24:35.620 But that perhaps could be a negotiating position for him to say, well,
00:24:39.500 I want some weapons that will be able to defend Ukraine or at least some kind of security guarantee.
00:24:44.660 What else is he asking for?
00:24:45.780 He's also been asking for NATO troops, particularly to be led by the British,
00:24:50.540 to establish a sort of demilitarized zone in between some of these areas of the fighting,
00:24:56.660 some areas where the Russians might pull back from, where the Ukrainians might pull back from,
00:25:00.920 particularly in these eastern Russian-speaking provinces, Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea, Zaporizhia,
00:25:07.300 these areas that, in the case of Crimea and in the others, actually voted to join the Russian Federation.
00:25:12.860 So you're going to see this play out back and forth, and it wouldn't surprise me.
00:25:17.500 We've, of course, heard President Trump talk about these rare earth minerals as well as the lithium,
00:25:22.160 the iron, the zinc that they're on the territory of Ukraine.
00:25:25.540 It wouldn't surprise me if that was included in part of the deal.
00:25:29.000 Of course, this is the same president who used to tell us that, you know,
00:25:31.840 why are we in Iraq if we aren't taking any of the oil?
00:25:35.140 What's the point of these wars if we're not going to provide any resources for the United States ourselves?
00:25:40.020 So it wouldn't surprise me if that's part of the deal,
00:25:43.400 but I think that would definitely be tied to a ceasefire because this, of course, is what President Trump ran on.
00:25:51.380 Yep.
00:25:51.920 Jack Posobiec.
00:25:52.980 We're going to go back to Jane, but Jack Posobiec, always up to date around the world.
00:25:58.380 Follow him.
00:25:59.280 Jack, we're going to come back to you after the break.
00:26:01.020 But, Jane, we want to get back to you before Air Force One comes rolling down,
00:26:06.680 rolling down the field right in front of you.
00:26:09.000 What else do you have to report?
00:26:10.960 You're out in the field a lot, and this USAID was just a bomb that blew up.
00:26:16.580 What are you hearing from the war room posse as you go around the country in a couple minutes?
00:26:23.420 You know, it's promises made, promises kept.
00:26:25.740 You look at the plethora of executive orders that President Trump has delivered on in the past week.
00:26:30.320 He has really touched on all different aspects of the woke and weaponized,
00:26:34.260 particularly with the men and women's sports.
00:26:36.420 And you can see here with how he's issuing these orders.
00:26:39.620 And we always say that culture is just downstream of politics.
00:26:42.600 But I would argue and say culture and politics really go hand in hand.
00:26:46.000 Like in this instance, President Trump kicked men out of women's sports.
00:26:49.580 And then the NCAA almost immediately after announced that they would be doing the same.
00:26:54.480 And you see under the Biden administration how there was this instant cultural flip
00:26:59.760 because people felt so pressured to subscribe to this radical agenda
00:27:04.420 that he was really initiating from the Oval Office.
00:27:08.220 Very good.
00:27:11.200 And on the USAID corruption, I mean, it's just stunning.
00:27:16.540 The press won't cover the news because they're indicted in the news.
00:27:20.440 Is that energizing the base?
00:27:22.360 Is the base very aware of some of the details in that corruption?
00:27:26.720 Not just MAGA, but if you go around just to the average person on the street,
00:27:30.340 do they know what's going on?
00:27:31.460 I think they know it's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:27:36.480 They feel the burden of the overreach of government in every aspect of their lives.
00:27:41.760 And they know that there has to be an absolute overhaul of the current system
00:27:45.300 that's going on in the country right now.
00:27:48.740 Yeah, good for you.
00:27:50.000 Jane Zirkle, always on the beat, staying with the pulse of the American people.
00:27:55.480 We appreciate it.
00:27:56.020 I see her every city she's in.
00:27:57.560 And stay tuned to the War Room in times of uncertainty.
00:28:02.660 But make sure you check out Birch Gold, our good friend.
00:28:06.280 We've seen all the headlines, cyber attacks on our power grids,
00:28:09.160 drones in the sky, violent attacks on everyday Americans.
00:28:12.820 The ugly truth is no leader, no system can protect you from everything.
00:28:17.320 And the last thing I want is to be standing in line,
00:28:20.300 depending on help that may never come.
00:28:22.740 And when crisis hits, food is always the first casualty.
00:28:26.980 Everyone needs it, and panic buying makes things worse.
00:28:30.060 You remember this from the pandemic.
00:28:32.160 That's why I've made sure my family's prepared with my Patriot Supply

00:29:09.520 Make sure you're prepared.
00:29:11.520 The crisis is here.
00:29:13.180 Back in the war room with the great Stephen K. Bannon, Jack Posobiec up.
00:29:28.160 I just want to review a little bit of the longer-term history here.
00:29:31.900 RFK Jr. has a great 10-minute clip summarizing the Ukraine setup.
00:29:38.380 And then Mearsheimer is outstanding.
00:29:42.220 If you don't know John Mearsheimer, go YouTube him.
00:29:45.020 He's got the same presentation.
00:29:47.400 He's been right forever.
00:29:49.740 Matching the logic of Jack Posobiec and Stephen K. Bannon, et cetera.
00:29:54.220 But, Jack, let's just go back to Gorbachev.
00:29:56.580 Up the wall comes down, about, you know, 14 countries are freed from a totalitarian rule.
00:30:03.900 And Gorbachev says to James Baker III, hey, all this is going to go in a win-win fashion,
00:30:12.360 but I don't want you moving one inch to the east toward Russia.
00:30:16.340 James Baker III says yes.
00:30:18.400 It's not captured in writing or any treaty.
00:30:20.720 And now, you know, in 14, we've got the coup d'etat in Ukraine.
00:30:27.160 And so just explain the basic historic setup.
00:30:31.120 Who pushed, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, who pushed for all these countries to get back into NATO?
00:30:39.660 And then ultimately the real red line was Ukraine, right?
00:30:42.860 And that was Putin.
00:30:44.900 And then if you say anything along these lines, you're a Putin apologist and you like communism,
00:30:49.340 even if you're a free market Presbyterian.
00:30:52.260 So, Jack, that's a huge question.
00:30:53.760 But just give us a quick tutorial so you understand the flow of that period of history.
00:30:59.300 Well, look, for folks to understand this, and, you know, I say this as a guy who's got familial roots in Poland,
00:31:05.660 so was behind that Iron Curtain for the entire duration.
00:31:09.800 And prior to that was a split between Stalin and Hitler, and it goes back to the various partitions of Poland.
00:31:15.960 So, trust me, they know what it's like to be occupied by foreign powers,
00:31:19.020 and they know what it's like to have a military overrunning your position.
00:31:23.000 From the Russian perspective, they view external threat from invasion as their number one vulnerability.
00:31:31.180 Because of the massive land configuration of Europe, it really, it's, you look at Russia, it's terrain, it's the steppe, it is fields, it's farms,
00:31:44.440 it's Ukraine, of course, itself being the breadbasket.
00:31:46.900 So, the Mongols, the Golden Horde ran over Russia.
00:31:50.580 You want to go way back, we'll go to the 1200s, Brad.
00:31:52.940 You know, you had the Mongols, you had the Golden Horde, you had the Ottomans were coming up from the south, up through Turkey,
00:32:00.140 took Crimea up until about the 1400s, even to the 1700s.
00:32:03.820 Then you had, of course, Napoleon in the 1800s, waging war so far that he even eventually takes Moscow itself.
00:32:12.380 The Russians burned down Moscow to deny him the use of it.
00:32:15.420 Then they wait him out during the Russian winter.
00:32:17.540 People know how that story went.
00:32:18.780 And then you get Adolf Hitler himself in Operation Barbarossa from 1941 and on, where tens of millions of Russians were killed in this.
00:32:27.500 And so, they've become a people that are very, very, you could say paranoid, or you could say hypersensitive,
00:32:34.860 hypersensitive to military alliances along their borders.
00:32:38.680 And it doesn't matter how many times an American or a NATO member sits there and says it's defensive, it's defensive,
00:32:43.920 and Piers Morgan can say it as many times as he wants until his face is blue.
00:32:47.520 But that doesn't mean they're going to believe you.
00:32:50.320 And what do you see?
00:32:51.240 You see the same Clinton cronies in that Obama administration, which she was Secretary of State.
00:32:56.440 That's when this was put into motion.
00:32:58.100 That's when Victoria Nuland was sent over there.
00:33:00.320 And you've got the phone calls with her, with her, where she's the EU, F the EU,
00:33:04.660 and that leaked phone call that comes out where she's explaining with, by the way,
00:33:09.080 George Pyatt and some of the people who come up later in the first Trump impeachment, by the way,
00:33:14.240 with the call, the perfect call with Zelensky, telling them who their emitters are going to be,
00:33:19.000 telling them who the next government of Ukraine is going to be.
00:33:21.980 And they say, come hell or high water, Ukraine will be in NATO, because you've got many people,
00:33:28.040 Victoria Nuland and others, that are hell-bent on regime change in Russia.
00:33:32.840 That has been their white whale for the longest time.
00:33:36.900 That's who they're focused on.
00:33:38.040 They were drunk, to their view, the success of the Arab Spring.
00:33:42.720 And look what they did in Egypt there.
00:33:45.040 They knocked off Hosni Mubarak and put up the Muslim Brotherhood in place in 2011.
00:33:49.400 And they told us that it was part of freedom, it was the blessings of freedom.
00:33:53.000 They were going to do the same thing around the world and throw everything into chaos.
00:33:57.380 But the difference is Russia is not some podunk third world nation that you can push around like that.
00:34:03.820 They're not Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:34:04.880 This is a nuclear power with a serious military, with serious technological capabilities.
00:34:10.800 And it finally got to the point where they said, Ukraine is our red line.
00:34:14.080 We are not going to let you take Ukraine.
00:34:16.100 We're not going to push you in here.
00:34:17.660 We want Ukraine out of NATO.
00:34:19.700 And to wit, this draft leaked document from the negotiations, supposedly it was presented by Kellogg.
00:34:28.440 It's hard to tell whether or not this is the current draft of negotiations.
00:34:31.360 But one of the red lines that was included in this was for the ceasefire that Ukraine would not become part of NATO.
00:34:39.480 Right.
00:34:40.280 Right.
00:34:42.040 Brilliant.
00:34:42.640 As always, Jack Posobiec, thanks for being with us, brother.
00:34:45.220 How do people look you up and get all this up-to-date information that only you and the war will provide?
00:34:53.020 God bless, Dave.
00:34:53.760 So you can follow me at Jack Posobiec and we'll be up there at Twitter at human events.
00:35:00.520 I got a, I have a little bit of announcement on Monday regarding the show.
00:35:04.920 I'm not actually going to be hosting human events.
00:35:08.120 We're going to have a round Robin, Brian Glenn, my brother, Kevin Posobiec and the great Michelle Bacchus are going to be filling away in for me.
00:35:14.600 I am going to be on assignment next week and I'll be making an announcement at the appropriate time.
00:35:22.220 Wow.
00:35:22.560 Very nice.
00:35:23.400 All right.
00:35:23.920 Everybody stay tuned.
00:35:24.980 Follow the great Jack Posobiec.
00:35:26.320 Thanks for being on, Jack.
00:35:27.420 Super job.
00:35:29.020 God bless, Dave.
00:35:30.700 Hey, thank you, brother.
00:35:31.720 All right.
00:35:32.020 We've got Bill Federer in the house after the National Prayer Day and President Trump just offered up some stunning remarks just over and over and over.
00:35:45.360 I don't have time to go over, but let me just read a few and they kind of fit into Bill Federer's life work.
00:35:50.940 From the earliest days of our republic, says Trump, in quotes,
00:35:54.100 We have to bring religion back, quote, we have to bring it back much stronger.
00:36:06.280 You can just hear Trump talking there.
00:36:08.100 That's one of the biggest problems we've had over the last fairly long period of time, right?
00:36:14.380 I'm thinking he means the post-World War II era kind of there, that last 50 years.
00:36:18.680 We have to bring it back.
00:36:20.180 Another quote, deep in the soul of every patriot is the knowledge that God has a special plan and a glorious mission for America, and that plan is going to happen.
00:36:30.160 It's going to happen.
00:36:31.540 And I could go on and on.
00:36:32.780 He talks about John Winthrop, the city on a hill, his getting shot.
00:36:37.800 Something's changed in me.
00:36:39.200 I can feel a change.
00:36:40.880 I'm even stronger.
00:36:42.140 I used to believe in God, but now something's really changed.
00:36:45.780 And so just stunning remarks.
00:36:48.420 And so I wanted to bring in Bill Federer.
00:36:51.560 When you have a leader that's making those kind of remarks, and then you see, you know, I don't like when religious people only talk about the social policies and all that.
00:37:01.940 But just there's a gestalt shift in this country that just goes, it's like the fear is being removed.
00:37:09.960 And God is always the God of liberation from the exodus all the way up through Jesus.
00:37:14.280 And so I just wanted you to put some of this in context.
00:37:18.440 When you hear comments like that from the president of the United States, what hope does that give you?
00:37:23.900 Yeah, it's great hope.
00:37:25.280 You know, Eisenhower said to the distinguished—he said that belief in a supreme being is the first, most basic expression of Americanism.
00:37:34.560 So here you have Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, World War II, right?
00:37:39.580 And he said belief in a supreme being is the first, the most basic expression of Americanism.
00:37:44.960 Another quote from Eisenhower is he said, in some lands, the state claims to be the author of human rights.
00:37:50.400 If the state gives rights, it can and inevitably will take away those rights.
00:37:55.200 Our founders had to refer to the creator in order to make their revolutionary experiment make sense.
00:38:00.560 We had to claim we had rights from a source higher than the government, and the government's purpose is to guarantee to us our creator-given rights.
00:38:08.040 If there is no creator, the rights come from the government, and what the government giveth, the government can taketh away it.
00:38:13.640 You know, I put together a book, Prayers and Presidents, where I went through every past president up through George W.
00:38:20.100 I couldn't—I didn't have time to go through Obama's.
00:38:23.060 Anyway, I'll need to redo it now that Trump's in.
00:38:26.320 But every one of them mentioned God.
00:38:30.460 You had days of fasting during the Continental Congress.
00:38:33.760 Washington had days of prayer.
00:38:35.780 James Madison had a day of fasting and prayer during the War of 1812.
00:38:40.320 John Adams had a day of fasting and prayer during a threatened war with France.
00:38:45.220 Zachary Taylor, during a cholera epidemic, 150,000 Americans died.
00:38:49.000 He had a day of fasting and prayer.
00:38:50.880 Lincoln had two of them during the Civil War.
00:38:52.940 You had Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, passing out New Testaments to all the soldiers.
00:38:59.140 He writes the foreword.
00:39:00.440 The Bible is the word of life.
00:39:01.840 And on the flip side page, you have John J. Pershing, the commander, writes on the inside of this Bible.
00:39:08.980 Franklin Roosevelt gives out Gideon's New Testaments by the millions to the soldiers.
00:39:12.740 He says in his D-Day address, Almighty God, our sons are part of our nation on this day.
00:39:20.440 Go forth in a war to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization.
00:39:25.980 Well, what's the religion?
00:39:27.400 Well, he's Episcopalian, and he's passing out New Testaments.
00:39:31.040 And 20 years ago, I was going through the CIA.gov website.
00:39:37.020 They have a world fact book.
00:39:38.200 They list every country in the world and every imaginable statistic.
00:39:42.080 You know, Pakistan is, you know, 90% Muslim.
00:39:44.360 Japan is, you know, 80% Buddhist.
00:39:46.920 If you look at the United States, it says 90% Christian, right?
00:39:51.900 About, you know, two-thirds Protestant and a third Catholic.
00:39:54.920 But here's our own government website.
00:39:56.820 And so then Obama gets in Mikey Weinstein.
00:40:00.760 And he has his Religious Freedom Group.
00:40:03.060 And what does he do?
00:40:03.560 Go through with a fine-tooth comb and remove anything that had to do with Christianity.
00:40:08.760 We're talking the Bible that was on the missing man table, the Gideon Bible, right?
00:40:15.320 We're talking about soldiers with a scripture on their desk.
00:40:19.500 We're talking about getting rid of the name Crusader.
00:40:23.040 All these different things that I think that the anti-Christian bias is real.
00:40:31.400 I think Trump's addressing it.
00:40:32.960 And I think the task force that puts in charge should get Mikey Weinstein's list and undo it because he was the most anti-Christian.
00:40:42.280 That's where I wanted to—yes, that's where I wanted to go.
00:40:45.860 You know, in the past, everyone was—all the presidents were Christians.
00:40:49.760 All the university presidents were Christian, et cetera.
00:40:52.260 Today, there's a fascinating phenomenon.
00:40:55.760 You got Jordan Peterson almost from a biological standpoint, right?
00:41:00.340 Biology, psychology, mythology, you know, Jung, all this kind of stuff, archetypes.
00:41:06.340 But he says—and I totally agree with him.
00:41:09.600 I went to seminary way back.
00:41:11.140 But there is only one narrative, right?
00:41:13.220 There is only one reality.
00:41:14.940 And he says, when I plumb the depths of these sciences or the mythology or the literatures, I just find myself coming to Moses and Jesus because it's real.
00:41:26.460 And we've lost that, right?
00:41:27.980 All the founders of this country, obviously, that was their worldview.
00:41:30.780 This is real.
00:41:31.600 And so say a few words to the modern American, you know, the young kid, well, that's just mythology or that my parents made me do this.
00:41:39.940 But as they get older, they're going to see their life experience resonate with that narrative and that reality in new ways.
00:41:47.520 And about a minute and a half, and I'll come back to you after the break.
00:41:51.280 Right.
00:41:51.780 The most common form of government in world history is kings, basically gangs.
00:41:56.400 A king is a glorified gang leader from Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Kaiser, Sultan, Zars, all top-down ruled through fear.
00:42:03.120 The first nation that we have record of that didn't have a king was ancient Israel.
00:42:07.580 Around 1400 B.C., they come out of Egypt and no king.
00:42:10.520 It worked because everyone was taught the law and everybody's accountable to God to follow the law.
00:42:16.220 It's called the Hebrew Republic.
00:42:17.720 It was studied by the Puritans and the founders of America.
00:42:20.740 And so we are carrying on this experiment.
00:42:23.740 Why is the Bible so important?
00:42:25.060 John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address, said,
00:42:28.380 The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
00:42:31.760 What belief system believes that?
00:42:34.500 Right.
00:42:35.800 Hinduism, there's 300 million different gods.
00:42:38.020 Which one are you in the image of?
00:42:39.300 And if you're untouchable in the lowest caste, you're not equal to a Brahmin in the highest caste.
00:42:44.080 If you're an Islamist, if you're a Muslim male, you're worth more than a female who's worth more than a kafir infidel.
00:42:50.180 Well, if you're in a communist, atheistic country, your worth is dependent on if you're a member of the CCP.
00:42:55.500 Right.
00:42:55.680 If you're if not, are you North Korea?
00:42:58.140 Right.
00:42:58.360 Christians are are persecuted only in the Judeo-Christian.
00:43:02.340 Let me come back to that, Bill, because you're getting right at it.
00:43:05.280 What is real?
00:43:06.200 What do you really believe is real and what what religious and philosophical tradition explains that reality?
00:43:12.640 Back after the break.
00:43:14.220 Health isn't just a personal issue.
00:43:16.100 It's a family issue, a community issue.
00:43:18.520 We're living in unpredictable times.
00:43:20.640 Supply chains can break down.
00:43:21.920 Hospitals can get overwhelmed.
00:43:23.340 And let's not even start on the natural disasters.
00:43:26.560 These aren't hypotheticals.
00:43:27.760 They're happening.
00:43:28.400 You see it here in the war room and we all know it.
00:43:31.120 The question is simply, are you ready?
00:43:34.180 That's where Jace comes in.

00:44:23.600 All right.
00:44:25.440 There you see Air Force One coming on in.
00:44:29.120 Jane, any commentary you want to give us for a minute?
00:44:32.600 Jane Zirkle.
00:44:35.600 Tonight is a huge moment for the war room posse.
00:44:38.720 These senators are making their pitch to President Trump to side with them on their pathway forward to their budget solution.
00:44:45.780 And it's really going to be interesting who steps up to the table here and who sides with the MAGA agenda and wants to push forward President Trump's border security measures.
00:44:55.580 There's a huge aspect to this about adding more ICE agents and adding funding for the border wall.
00:45:01.260 And who wants to side with the Uniparty, the Uniparty that voted to fund USAID and other woke and radicalized spending measures that have been bankrupting this country?
00:45:13.920 Yep.
00:45:14.520 And as Steve showed on the show this morning, Thomas Massey had a little clip.
00:45:18.860 If we do a CR, USAID will be funded after the outrage.
00:45:24.360 It's too much to take.
00:45:25.580 Thank you, Jane.
00:45:26.480 Back to Bill Federer.
00:45:27.760 With a few minutes to go, Bill,
00:45:29.400 you were just surveying all the alternatives.
00:45:32.560 And I taught philosophical ethics, and there's all these fancy names of Kant and Aristotle, but they don't have any followers.
00:45:39.020 And so the American, they're cynical of religion a little bit.
00:45:42.340 They're skeptical.
00:45:43.760 And so make the sale.
00:45:45.320 Why is Christianity real?
00:45:48.820 Right.
00:45:49.340 Individual.
00:45:50.540 Every other belief system you're worth is dependent on what group you belong to,
00:45:55.360 whether it's an Islamic male or Hinduism, which caste you belong to, and which Communist Party you belong to.
00:46:05.800 But in the Judeo-Christian faith, you're worth something simply because you're made in the image of God,
00:46:10.240 and this God is not a respecter of persons, and so therefore everyone's equal.
00:46:15.400 It doesn't matter what caste you belong to, doesn't matter if you can contribute to the state or not, everyone's equal.
00:46:20.960 And Harry S. Truman, in his inaugural, said,
00:46:23.900 we believe all men are created equal because we're created in the image of God.
00:46:28.260 And so this is the—in Islam, there is no—Allah has no image.
00:46:31.880 In Hinduism, there's 300 million different gods.
00:46:34.340 So the very concept that you're made in the image of God is a Bible idea,
00:46:38.840 and so you have worth as an individual.
00:46:42.080 And so therefore, the government's purpose is to guarantee to you your creator-given rights.
00:46:48.260 And the other ones, they're just top-down, and that's the norm.
00:46:52.960 It's kings who rule through fear.
00:46:55.320 So—
00:46:55.720 Yeah, and it's a little interesting.
00:46:57.300 In the past 50 years, we—you know, I use too many economic analogies,
00:47:03.240 but we used to have free markets based on the individual and the price system.
00:47:06.980 Now we have oligarchs, centralized government power.
00:47:11.700 President Trump is trying to make some inroads and decentralize,
00:47:14.600 send some of the stuff back down to states and localities.
00:47:16.900 But it's interesting that the decline of religion is going along with what you described there.
00:47:23.860 The history of nations is the history of kings and tyrants and oligarchs.
00:47:28.400 And why would we want to go back in that direction?
00:47:31.420 And so give us some hope.
00:47:33.280 Where's the energy to move back toward this realization that we're all individuals created in God?
00:47:38.600 Where's that energy going to come from?
00:47:41.120 Well, you know, capitalism empowers the individual.
00:47:44.500 Now there's a difference between local capitalism and international capitalism.
00:47:49.500 International globalists, they're happy to do deals with communists, right?
00:47:52.980 But on a local level, that's why when John F. Kennedy pushes through his tax cuts,
00:47:59.100 it was tax cuts for those businesses located on American soil,
00:48:02.340 not just tax cuts for businesses in general.
00:48:05.400 But it's the empowerment of the individual.
00:48:07.300 So if you like having rights, the government cannot take away.
00:48:10.520 Those rights need to come to you from a power higher than the government.
00:48:14.720 And that's why the founders referred to a creator.
00:48:17.860 If you like being equal, yes.
00:48:19.980 Well, where did equality come from?
00:48:21.560 It didn't come from these other different belief system where your worth is dependent on what group you belong to.
00:48:26.940 The equality came from we're all made in the image of God, and he's not a respecter of persons.
00:48:31.060 Now, we need to realize that our government structure came out of these beliefs of originally from the New England colonies
00:48:40.920 and how they had a covenant form of government that went back to the ancient Israel government before they got a king, right?
00:48:47.660 And so that was called the Hebrew Republic.
00:48:50.700 So DEI, critical race theory, transagenda, those are all creative terms for anti-Christian agenda.
00:48:57.580 Yeah. So when they say, oh, we need to be tolerant, what they're saying is we're tolerant of everybody except that.
00:49:03.360 But at the time of the founding, 98 percent of the country was Protestant, 1 percent Catholic, and then a tenth of a percent Jewish.
00:49:11.520 And then you have immigrants come in from Ireland, and the Catholic percent goes to 20 percent.
00:49:15.480 Then immigrants come in from Bavaria, and the Jewish percent goes to 1 to 2 to 3 percent.
00:49:20.080 And as the centuries go on, the Christian concept of tolerance goes out to tolerate everybody else.
00:49:27.620 So tolerance itself is a Judeo-Christian idea.
00:49:30.960 And I was hoping you were going to circle right into that, and you did.
00:49:36.000 Thanks for being with us, Bill Federer.
00:49:38.980 Go look up his books.
00:49:40.840 He's a life's work.
00:49:42.580 But if you want to be—if you want your dignity to come from God and you believe in the dignity of every other individual and you don't want to be grouped the way that tyrants want to group you, right?
00:49:56.600 That is the Judeo-Christian West in a nutshell.
00:49:59.440 Thank you, Bill.
00:50:00.020 We go to Mike Lindell.
00:50:01.400 Brother Mike, sell us some pillows and any commentary you want on the day of prayer with President Trump and some stunning comments he laid out.

00:51:36.880 It is.
00:51:38.100 Well, you're one of them, Mike.
00:51:39.980 You know, the War Room stood by you.
00:51:42.160 You stood by us.
00:51:43.240 You supported the president.
00:51:45.320 Steve Bannon was yelling in a microphone a few years ago.
00:51:48.720 And you guys together have built just a great Christian community of strength, which has been missing.
00:51:57.380 And hopefully that waves through the churches across this country and the synagogues.
00:52:02.320 And they feel that same strength.
00:52:04.920 And we work together to keep it this way, right?
00:52:07.400 To keep this era of freedom and freedom from fear.
00:52:13.380 Well, we owe all that to God, and we're thankful for the War Room and Stephen K. Bannon.
00:52:18.660 God bless you all.
00:52:19.960 Spread the word.
00:52:21.740 Hey, we're human.
00:52:23.580 I don't always eat healthy.
00:52:25.020 I know that's shocking.
00:52:26.740 You don't always eat healthy either.
00:52:29.540 That's why doctors created Field of Greens.
00:52:32.280 A delicious glass of Field of Greens daily is like nutritional armor for your body.
00:52:38.520 Each fruit and vegetable was doctor-selected for a specific health benefit.
00:52:42.420 There's a heart health group, lungs and kidney groups, metabolism, even healthy weight.
00:52:49.040 I love the energy I get with Field of Greens.
00:52:51.300 And I mean I love it because I need it.
00:52:53.640 But most of all, I love the confidence that even if I have a cheat day or a burger,

00:53:46.740 I'm really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and, of course, the beef liver
00:53:52.520 being our flagship product.
00:53:54.540 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as
00:53:59.500 vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, et cetera.
00:54:04.120 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients
00:54:09.940 far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin
00:54:15.400 in general.
