00:00:00.000
Oh, white smoke, we have a pope. We have a pope. The cheers are coming up.
00:00:06.900
Do we hear the bells ringing? One of the things that has happened is that because it was difficult
00:00:14.960
to tell white smoke from black smoke, they instituted the ringing of the bells. But now,
00:00:21.080
on day two of this conclave, the Catholic Church, 1.4 billion Catholics, we have a new pope.
00:00:33.000
Bishop. Habemus Papam. Habemus Papam, Bishop. What's your reaction?
00:00:39.300
Well, I'm surprised that it came so early. This was like it was 12 years ago with Francis.
00:00:44.980
It's telling me, I'm just guessing here, that maybe one of the people that really was predicted
00:00:49.200
did get elected. Because if it became more of a contested conclave, it would have gone on for
00:00:54.460
another day or so. That's what it's telling me. So I'm guessing maybe a Cardinal Peraline,
00:00:59.900
but who knows? I'm a little surprised it's come so soon.
00:01:05.020
So one of the things that we had been looking for in this is exactly, and that was a question I was
00:01:10.260
about to ask Susan. Would it tell us something about what was going on? Oh, look at the people
00:01:15.600
jumping up and down. Susan, I'm going to come to you in a minute. But because you can see it,
00:01:20.980
Claudio, tell us what you're seeing, what you're hearing in that square right now at 6.09 p.m.
00:01:30.640
Well, the St. Peter's Square has exploded. You can probably see it behind me. Everybody's screaming.
00:01:36.500
There's a lot of applause. There's a lot of singing. There are flags waving. And of course,
00:01:43.340
you know, it's a surprise for everyone. I was just saying five minutes ago that I thought that,
00:01:48.340
or we thought that the first vote wasn't successful. You can hear it now. Now the bells of St. Peter's
00:01:54.200
Basilica are now ringing. That is yet another sign, the confirmation that a pope has been elected.
00:02:02.120
Well, what's going to happen now, probably as it happens for every time a pope is elected,
00:02:08.240
hundreds of thousands of people are going to run to the Vatican from all over Rome because in less
00:02:14.520
than an hour, we're going to see on that balcony the pope appear. We're not going to know who it is
00:02:21.740
until he appears on the balcony. Well, until his name is announced on that balcony. And the first
00:02:27.960
words we're going to hear, of course, is Habemus Papam. We have a pope.
00:02:34.420
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval
00:02:45.240
on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have
00:02:52.040
had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything
00:02:55.800
in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:02:58.580
And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media. I wish in my soul,
00:03:05.340
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my
00:03:11.720
purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:03:28.580
All right. Welcome to War Room. Huge day of news. We have a great show for you. Liz Yor is up on
00:03:35.880
Habemus Papam. We have a new pope along with Jack Posobiec reporting from Rome. We have Patrick
00:03:42.340
K. O'Donnell because it's also VE Day victory in Europe. This is Dave Bratt sitting in with the
00:03:50.520
great Stephen K. Band, who's out on assignment. He'll be back shortly. And then we have also
00:03:58.000
Mike Lindell and Mike Davis to weigh in on the latest D.C. political news with the Senate on
00:04:06.620
very controversial issues related to Washington, D.C., its governance and all that position entails
00:04:13.660
as well. So today we have a new pope, Robert Prevost, as you heard on the War Room months ago from
00:04:21.460
Stephen K. Bannon and Liz Yor and Ben Harnwell reporting from Rome and Jack, of course, as well.
00:04:29.720
We've been reporting the main names in contention and what they all mean. And so today we're going
00:04:36.280
to get to Liz Yor, but I'll just offer up a couple comments early. It's interesting irony,
00:04:41.920
I think, if I'm reading the tea leaves right here. VE Day victory in Europe, we're going to cover.
00:04:49.340
That's huge in American history. And then right after that, not right after it, but a few decades,
00:04:57.880
we have the fall of the Iron Curtain brought to you by Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan and
00:05:06.580
Thatcher. People with strong wills who fought against tyranny fought for all the basic American
00:05:15.260
principles. And so now with the new pope, things have been in question. I've been meeting with
00:05:21.260
a few ambassadors from around the world over the past years. China has a bucket full of money. They've
00:05:28.040
been doling out around the world. And so all eyes are now, right, we had doge in the United States that
00:05:35.700
cleaned house, right, and showed us where the money is, USAID, funding major media outlets,
00:05:44.560
funding China, funding leftist political programs. All this is not conjecture anymore. Now we have the
00:05:51.240
receipts. The War Room's been on this forever. All political views are my own. But now we have an
00:05:57.500
expert in Liz Yore from Your Kids, Y-O-R-E, Your Kids, a fighter for the kids, for the people.
00:06:07.120
And so, Liz, welcome to the War Room. As always, you're a great friend of the show. Everybody loves
00:06:11.840
you. And so give us your understanding of what we're seeing and what our future holds.
00:06:17.420
Well, the first American pope, Dave, from Chicago. What could go wrong, right? Not unlike the first
00:06:25.720
American president from Chicago. And as a lifelong Chicagoan who was weaned on the Chicago Democratic
00:06:33.620
political machine, I'm very curious about this election. This young man, you know, he's only 69
00:06:42.040
years old for a cardinal that's young. He's only been a cardinal for a year and a half. So he was
00:06:49.120
barely known to the 133 cardinals electors who barely knew each other. And yet, in four quick,
00:06:59.880
fast votes, he's elected. You know, there's very little that's known about him, except he's been
00:07:06.900
active on Twitter and active in his pushback on the Trump administration, both with J.D. Vance and
00:07:14.280
the deportation program by Donald Trump. Frankly, I think they've hid Prevost in the Vatican Witness
00:07:23.000
program, and they launched him at the right moment. I am very concerned that he is going to carry on the
00:07:31.620
legacy of Jorge Bergoglio. He was a favorite of the Francis. And he is also, according to a tweet by
00:07:41.860
Father James Martin, S.J., the Jesuit radical activist, he's also a favorite of James Martin.
00:07:51.060
So, you know, we're going to be watching six months of mainstream media mania that, oh, this man is so
00:07:57.360
humble and he's a tennis player. But frankly, let's talk politics. This is a master stroke from the
00:08:04.140
Chicago Cardinal Cupich and also Pope Francis. This pontiff, based on what we know, and we don't
00:08:12.620
know everything about him, but he is made in the image and likeness of Jorge Bergoglio. You know,
00:08:20.120
he wants to let Donald Trump know. And I think Donald Trump has got now an American pope,
00:08:25.260
speaks English, very pro-immigration, anti-deportation, along with now a cardinal in D.C.
00:08:35.000
who is pro-immigration, anti-deportation. So it's obvious that there's a full court press coming from
00:08:44.040
the Catholic Church to lift up the globalist agenda with respect to deportation and migration.
00:08:52.840
But look, the new Pope Leo has got to worry about the disastrous China deal that's sitting on his
00:08:59.760
desk. He has to worry about the sexual predators roaming the halls of the Vatican. He needs to attend
00:09:06.740
to immediately the corruption in the Vatican Bank, the looming Vatican bankruptcy, and start enforcing
00:09:14.320
the zero-tolerance policy against priests and bishops who are preying on children. So this is kind
00:09:24.040
of the classic Obama playbook, plucked out of obscurity, lived most of his career, clerical career
00:09:31.260
in Peru, but grew up in Chicago. And so we'll see what we're going to give him the benefit, the doubt.
00:09:38.020
But Dave, we're not going to take our eyes off of him. We are going to immediately watch him
00:09:46.240
like a hawk. And I think all you need to know about this man, Robert Prevost, the new Pope, is that he
00:09:57.860
sacked what we call America's cardinal, America's bishop, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, one of the
00:10:06.960
most devout, holy, kind, humble bishops we've had in America for a long time. And I hold Prevost and I
00:10:19.060
hold Francis responsible for what I consider the corrupt ousting of Bishop Strickland. And also he
00:10:27.140
placed the notorious Cardinal McElroy in Washington, D.C. So again, this is a warning to Trump. This, I think,
00:10:35.680
is the curse of Ted McCarrick and Joe Biden. They've had their final mark on the American and
00:10:42.440
global church. So I'm really asking people to take a very close look at this man. Watch what he does.
00:10:53.060
We, as Catholics, you know, it's Fulton Sheen's birthday. And Fulton Sheen was famous for saying
00:10:58.380
it's the Catholic laity that are going to save the church. So I think it's appropriate and, you know,
00:11:04.480
kind of ironic that on this day we have a new pope elected. So I'm hoping that he will grow in the job,
00:11:14.780
mature in the job, and realize that he should let the border of the United States be the ultimate
00:11:24.320
responsibility of Donald Trump. Because after all, 56 percent of American Catholics voted for Donald Trump
00:11:31.980
and support his policies. So I think Robert Prevost needs to concern himself with all the problems at
00:11:41.240
the Vatican that will be nipping at his heels immediately.
00:11:44.940
Thank you, Liz. We're going to go to Jack in the next segment. A couple minutes left. I just want to
00:11:52.720
make it clear, you know, Catholic doctrine, a lot in common with Protestants, Nicene, Creed, Apostles,
00:11:59.100
Creed, our Jewish friends as well. It's not hard to connect the dots going from the Bible and the Word of
00:12:07.180
God and every person on this earth created in the image of God. To being able to stand up in public
00:12:14.900
and say, China, right, this is not a controversial stand, right? It's a communist, totalitarian,
00:12:22.720
surveillance state. Marxism, by definition, does not believe in human rights. They don't have any
00:12:28.540
human rights. They're atheists. They don't believe in God. And without God, I fail to see how you get
00:12:34.060
human rights. And so I don't think it's asking too much, right? And the Protestants and the Jewish
00:12:39.860
friends and the Catholics have all taken money through NGOs, right? So this is not speculative,
00:12:45.680
right? Steve Bannon, Natalie Winters has documented all of this. And so, you know, at a minimum,
00:12:51.780
two minutes to go, Liz, what does the Catholic Church have to say vis-Ã -vis being Catholic?
00:12:58.340
Well, you know, Prevost is an Augustinian. He was the provincial of the Augustinian order
00:13:05.500
based on the teachings and life of the great doctor of the church, St. Augustine. And, you know,
00:13:13.500
he was famous for saying, our hearts are restless until they rest in thee, Lord. And, you know, that's
00:13:20.660
what we have been preaching and talking about to our persecuted friends and Catholics and Christians
00:13:28.480
in China, that they deserve the right, the freedom to be able to pursue God. And one of the things that
00:13:37.600
Augustin always said is, if you really want to be kind to a person, lead them to the truth. And we have
00:13:45.420
been harping on the truth of atheistic communism. And it's important to articulate, you know, really
00:13:54.800
what's going on in China, because with the censorship in China, and with the persecution, and we haven't
00:14:01.300
had, frankly, as we've talked about, Dave, the moral voice of the Vatican telegraphing the persecution
00:14:08.760
in China. And so the truth has got to come out of the moral voice of this new pope. And he has to,
00:14:17.600
he's got the bully pulpit. And with all the persecution that's going on in the world, not only
00:14:23.600
in China, but all over the world, it is his number one duty to speak on behalf of religious freedom
00:14:31.320
and to protect, and to protect those Christians who want to pursue a life following Jesus Christ.
00:14:42.280
It's absolutely spot on, Liz Yor. Thank you for being with us. We're going to pivot to
00:14:47.760
Jack Posobiec. The truth is, is fairly simple, right? Love God, you got to first find out who God is,
00:14:55.960
and then love your neighbor as yourself. And Liz Yor just told you, told what it meant.
00:15:00.040
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging
00:15:05.780
superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing
00:15:12.560
the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS
00:15:19.320
nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing
00:15:24.020
down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:30.040
but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment
00:15:36.360
when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable
00:15:42.660
reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group can help

00:16:30.800
All right, Dick Bratt, back in the war room. We certainly live in times of instability. New Pope
00:16:43.320
China in decline. There's a debate on who's racing to the bottom fastest. All the evidence. Just go out
00:16:51.580
to YouTube and click on China economy and you'll see people out in the streets. $37 trillion in debt.
00:16:59.880
The bond market getting jittery. Congress continuing to do $7 trillion budgets. Not
00:17:07.240
good. We can do better. Put some heat on the folks. But in times of instability, I want to
00:17:12.860

00:17:48.720
at Birch Gold. And so now back to the show, we're going over to Jack Posobiec. Jack Liz Yore invoked
00:17:57.140
St. Augustine. And St. Augustine was about 400 AD, right at the fall of Rome, where you're standing
00:18:07.460
today. He said the source, the cause of that was not Christianity. Some people were laying the
00:18:13.820
feet of Christians. He said precisely the opposite. It's precisely the cause was moral decay and spiritual
00:18:23.140
crisis. And that sounds a lot like today in the European West. And even in the United States of
00:18:31.400
America, we need to wake up. In particular, he talked about the fall of man and said that was due,
00:18:38.080
right, the fall of man, right, Genesis 2 and 3, rejection of the logos, the word. And in the
00:18:46.360
Christian tradition, that logos is Christ. And that fall of our attention to the word,
00:18:53.960
China now is working on rewriting the logos, rewriting the Bible for Christians. And so a lot
00:19:01.820
on the plate. Jack, give us your analysis of what we should expect from the new pope and the way
00:19:07.800
forward for the Catholic Church and the traditional church. I know you're a fan and I am too. Jack
00:19:12.840
Posobiec. Well, Dave, thanks again so much for having me on. I'm here in Rome, Italy. You can see,
00:19:19.280
I don't know if they have it in the shot, but you can see right over my shoulder is the dome of St.
00:19:25.000
Peter himself, right where St. Peter was martyred and is buried on Vatican Hill and where the church in
00:19:32.620
Rome was founded of Peter, the first bishop. And today I was there in the square and we were
00:19:37.480
covering it live on first Charlie Kirk show. And then my show, the election of this new pope,
00:19:44.060
a shock to many, but not to Steve Bannon, who actually correctly predicted when he was on Piers
00:19:49.800
Morgan last week, that in fact, Cardinal Prevost of Chicago would be elected pope. And what I've been
00:19:57.120
doing in the interim now is going through apparently Prevost and sure, I'll throw a caveat out there
00:20:02.940
that it may not have been him, but he's got a Twitter account that appears to be him and is
00:20:08.500
extremely active, particularly on issues involving open borders, migration, these migration compacts from
00:20:17.620
the United Nations and attacking J.D. Vance and President Trump. In fact, there's a tweet up there
00:20:24.260
from just three weeks ago, spreading the Maryland man hoax and attacking President Trump and El
00:20:30.900
Presidente Nayib Bukele from El Salvador regarding the deportations of the worst of the worst, these
00:20:38.200
criminals down to Seacott. Now, at the same time, I'm also hearing folks who know him from Chicago.
00:20:45.140
I've been reaching out to them, such as Gabe Guardini, who is currently the chair of the Ohio YRs.
00:20:50.380
He went to school up there and he says, look, this guy is not with us on the border.
00:20:54.260
But he is better when it comes to issues such as LGBTQ, the gender issues and pro-life. So kind of
00:21:03.080
a mixed bag there. But the way that I look at it is very clear. It's very clear to me that the choice
00:21:09.400
of an American pope for the first time ever in church history was meant as a reaction and a response
00:21:16.440
to President Trump. So mark this down in with your number two pencil that this or excuse me, number two
00:21:23.200
pencil that this choice of the American cardinal was done as a response and a message to President
00:21:31.580
Trump. Now, Pope Leo. Hang on one second. You invoke there. We got a one minute. We got a one minute
00:21:39.260
clip of Stephen K. Bannon's prophetic ability to see in the future along with you and Liz Yor. Let's
00:21:46.320
play that quick and then you respond to it. Denver, you want to roll, Steve?
00:21:51.460
I do think one of the dark horses, and I think, unfortunately, he's one of the most progressive,
00:21:55.780
is Cardinal Prevost. I don't think he's getting enough play. He is certainly on the short list
00:21:59.840
as being. And I think it's pretty shocking given the contempt they hold the American church. The
00:22:07.340
American church gives so much money, they're afraid it has too much power. So they've never
00:22:11.140
really wanted to have an American pope. But my understanding is Prevost is one of the ones
00:22:15.920
closest to Francis ideologically. He's also had tremendous experience in Latin America. And so
00:22:21.300
he's one of the ones on the short list. I'm a big believer that Cardinal Seurat from Africa would be
00:22:28.820
a perfect selection right now for this moment in the church. But I will tell everybody,
00:22:34.780
this is anybody's game right now between Paralon, one of the traditionalists. You have no earthy idea
00:22:40.680
how this is going to turn out. That's why I think this time, this run-up is so important. And it's
00:22:45.240
kind of, it's interesting that it's ironic. It's going to take place. It's going to kick off,
00:22:49.280
I think, on either the day of or the day before the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe. So it's
00:22:56.620
very symbolic of what's coming together here in the first part of May.
00:23:01.980
Yeah, you're only going to find that on the war room with Bannon, Posobiec, and Liz, your,
00:23:07.000
Jack, I cut you off on a point you were making, but if you want to respond to Steve and then keep
00:23:12.920
Well, I would respond to Steve. And of course, it is the most on-brand thing ever for Steve Bannon to
00:23:18.520
have called who, and when no one else in mainstream media would tell you, when people were saying
00:23:23.180
pizza bala, people were talking about Parolin, people were talking about the Teagle from the
00:23:28.300
Philippines, Cardinal Zupi, it was Stephen K. Bannon, the lone voice who was exactly right
00:23:34.600
on Piers Morgan one week's time ago, proving and predicting that he was correct on who the next Pope
00:23:40.920
would be. What I would suggest, and this is my call for President Trump, the call to action,
00:23:47.460
and J.D. Vance, by the way, who we remember was the last world leader to meet with the
00:23:52.420
immediate predecessor of Pope Leo, Pope Francis. Call on the Pope to visit the White House
00:23:59.980
immediately. Get ahead of the entire relationship, because I guarantee you what they want in with the
00:24:07.200
Jesuits, with the leftist leadership in the Vatican right now, what they want is someone to be an
00:24:13.720
antagonizer of Trump. We've elected someone from America who speaks your own language, who is an
00:24:21.080
American citizen. By the way, Pope Leo's president is Donald Trump. Have Donald Trump, have President
00:24:28.380
Trump invite him to the White House first, make it a state visit, but also use that as a negotiation
00:24:35.460
to set the relationship forward. And what do we need? We need protections for the traditional church.
00:24:42.140
As you mentioned, you knew I was going to say that. We need protections for the Latin right mass,
00:24:46.480
and for everyone who believes in the traditional order of the church, which was prevalent for 2,000
00:24:54.340
years, all the way up until Vatican II. That's what we need out of this pope. And we need him to be
00:25:00.700
that kind of leader on the theological issues and leave the political to the leaders who are elected
00:25:08.220
by the people of their nations, like President Donald Trump is. And by the way,
00:25:13.880
it was American Catholics in those swing states, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, that proved
00:25:20.920
to be a huge edge. And everyone knows those are massively Catholic states. And where was their
00:25:25.680
swing? Their swing went from Democrat to Republican to the red column, or perhaps I should say the orange
00:25:32.180
column when the orange smoke popped up in November of 2024 with not only the popular vote win for
00:25:39.280
President Trump at the Electoral College as well. I think this will be the single animating effort
00:25:45.720
going forward for the United States and the papacy, the Vatican right now. Bring him in. Bring
00:25:51.720
him into the White House. Yeah, you got it, Jack. Hey, we're going to talk about the E-Day victory in
00:25:57.460
Europe with Patrick K. O'Donnell, you know, one of Steve's favorites. He's coming in next. But a couple
00:26:02.860
minutes to go. Pope John Paul II, along with Reagan and Thatcher, and kaboom, the wall of
00:26:09.660
communism comes down. The Catholic Church, the Protestants, our Jewish friends, where are their
00:26:15.000
voices on the same thing? China, atheism, totalitarian communist regime, and silence,
00:26:21.180
because China's cutting checks. Give us two minutes. Well, I would also just add, by the way,
00:26:26.840
you know, today is VE Day, 80 years ago. And in fact, my grandfather, John Posobiec, was right here
00:26:33.840
in Rome in World War II. He was actually here in 44, so 81 years ago. But he played a huge part in that
00:26:42.440
in the first armored division coming up through North Africa, fighting Rommel up there, then into
00:26:48.280
Sicily and into, with the landings in Anzio, and then up through Rome, chasing the Germans up north
00:26:54.540
until they eventually receded. So we've got some incredible photos of my grandfather right here
00:27:00.040
at St. Peter's from World War II. Just incredible history. And it's incredible to be following in his
00:27:06.520
footsteps as being here as well, although in different capacity. Look, you know, as Catholics,
00:27:12.820
as Christians, and as conservatives, we call upon our leaders, stand by what you believe. What do
00:27:19.080
conservatives call for? We call for our politicians to follow the Constitution. That's all we say. We say,
00:27:24.320
day in, day out, Brad, you teach courses on this. We tell people we just want the Constitution
00:27:29.080
followed as written. It's as simple as that. It's the left that are the revolutionaries. They are the
00:27:34.500
ones who want to erect all of these superstructures on top of it. We just want that. And when it comes
00:27:38.820
to the papacy, it's no different. When it comes to Christianity, we want the Bible, and we want the
00:27:43.140
Word of God. We want canon law in the church followed. We don't want these changes. Why? It's not
00:27:48.640
because we don't care about the world. It's in fact because we care about the salvation of the world
00:27:55.420
that the church and Christianity must be that solid rock, that beacon of truth. And I would much
00:28:02.200
rather have a church that is a beacon of truth than a church that is running around worried about
00:28:07.160
getting the esteem and friendship of the world and the mainstream media. No. As Pope John Paul II once
00:28:13.360
said, and we visited his tomb earlier, if the church has to go back down to 12 again, then so be it.
00:28:17.820
Five seconds. Yep, you got it. Jack Posobiec. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, that's the original deal.
00:28:27.020
Health isn't just a personal issue. It's a family issue, a community issue. We're living in
00:28:32.180
unpredictable times. Supply chains can break down. Hospitals can get overwhelmed, and let's not even start
00:28:37.380
on the natural disasters. These aren't hypotheticals. They're happening. You see it here in the war room,
00:28:42.220
and we all know it. The question is simply, are you ready? That's where Jace comes in.
00:28:49.600

00:29:32.820
We have a new pope, and it is VE Day, Victory in Europe, probably the most significant date in
00:29:50.080
early modernity here. The left is always talking about fascism. We had fascism, and as always,
00:29:59.360
the American people come through, the American people against Hitler, Mussolini, fascism.
00:30:06.020
Just to redefine what fascism is, is monopoly government with monopoly business in bed together.
00:30:14.440
Sound familiar? Conservatives, we are against, with every fiber of our being, fascism. We want
00:30:23.300
to bring down the big firms. We want to bring down big government, and that's what Steve's been
00:30:29.060
talking about for the past year, these big seven, magnificent seven in the arms of government,
00:30:34.160
censorship, 20 million people, Facebook censored, on and on and on. So we need to go back to our roots
00:30:42.400
and gain the pride that we do share. We fought the fight, and so we have the best of the best,
00:30:49.220
one of Stephen K. Bannon's best friends, Patrick K. O'Donnell, with us. But we have a clip to frame
00:30:54.500
it, and so let's go to the clip, and then Patrick K. O'Donnell.
00:30:57.800
Yesterday morning, at 2.41 a.m., at General Eisenhower's headquarters, General Jodl, the representative
00:31:21.800
of the German High Command, and of Grand Admiral Dönitz, the designated head of the German state,
00:31:31.380
signed the act of unconditional surrender of all German land, sea, and air forces in Europe
00:31:41.620
to the Allied Expeditionary Forces, and simultaneously to the Soviet High Command.
00:31:49.440
Hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight, Tuesday, the 8th of May.
00:32:02.060
But in the interest of saving lives, the ceasefire began yesterday to be sounded along all the fronts.
00:32:09.920
The German war is, therefore, at an end. We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing.
00:32:28.500
President Truman announced the official surrender.
00:32:36.120
I wish that Franklin D. Roosevelt had lived to see this day.
00:32:42.260
General Eisenhower informs me that the forces of Germany have surrendered to the United Nations.
00:32:56.040
For this victory, we join in offering our thanks to the Providence,
00:33:02.260
which has guided and sustained us through the dark days of adversity and into light.
00:33:11.640
The victory won in the West must now be won in the East.
00:33:18.720
The whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world has been freed.
00:33:26.600
All through the day, the king and queen had answered call after call, so it was again at night.
00:33:32.240
Thousands upon thousands went to the palace, for this is a way we have in Great Britain.
00:33:36.700
The family and the head of the family rejoice together.
00:33:39.380
It was at nine o'clock on V.E. Day that the king had broadcast his message to the people of Britain,
00:33:46.960
the British Empire, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
00:33:50.580
But today, we give thanks to God for a great deliverance.
00:33:59.040
Speaking from our empire's oldest capital city,
00:34:05.840
to all battered, I would never for one moment be daunted or dismayed.
00:34:12.880
Germany, the enemy who drove all Europe into war,
00:34:32.780
Britain's, impatient for the official signal to celebrate,
00:34:37.920
when notice of capitulation waited upon Whitehall, Washington, and Moscow.
00:34:44.660
and for days afterwards, Londoners packed city streets and squares.
00:35:09.620
You measured the crowds by the acre in this bubbling over of a nation's joy and thanksgiving.
00:35:38.080
Thanks to the War Room team, Denver, for putting that together.
00:35:44.680
Churchill, Truman, speaking of God's providence, certainly the case.
00:35:53.680
If you haven't seen that movie, the King's Speech, just very moving.
00:35:58.460
And then you see the joy of the people because they were in peril of losing their freedom.
00:36:04.920
We've got the best guy on the planet to help bring this into perspective.
00:36:08.820
He's interviewed thousands of people from back in the day, from World War II itself.
00:36:14.200
So it's our honor, privilege, to have Patrick K. O'Donnell to frame things.
00:36:17.960
There's a lot of young kids who don't know any of this.
00:36:25.960
Dave, it's a pleasure and an honor to be with you today.
00:36:32.420
This is one of the most consequential events in Western history.
00:36:36.320
This marks five years of war with Nazi Germany.
00:36:42.460
And they were the most dangerous Axis partner, if you will, much more dangerous than Italy or Japan.
00:36:51.460
Their technology was, in many cases, second to none with rockets and jet power.
00:36:56.100
They were in the race for a nuclear weapon, along with the United States.
00:37:02.040
And this is the conclusion of a war in Europe, which is a brutal war.
00:37:07.840
World War II claims the lives of 4% of the entire planet Earth.
00:37:14.080
That's how dangerous, deadly, and widespread the conflict is.
00:37:23.820
It ends an hour later, in Moscow time, on May 9th.
00:37:30.000
And there's some interesting chronology on the surrender of Germany.
00:37:35.900
The OSS actually gets the German forces in Italy to surrender one week before,
00:37:42.380
with something called Operation Sunrise, where they contact the SS general there, Carl Wolf.
00:37:47.800
And he's able to negotiate a separate surrender of German forces in Germany.
00:37:53.680
But within that sphere of negotiations, which was behind-the-scenes cloak-and-dagger stuff,
00:37:59.720
with the OSS and Allen Dulles, the Soviets were constantly paranoid of a separate peace with the West,
00:38:08.400
that the Germans would have a separate peace with the West, and they would continue to fight.
00:38:13.400
And this is exactly what happens on May 7th, where the Germans officially surrender at Reims.
00:38:20.760
They sign all the documents, but the Soviet representatives there are very concerned
00:38:25.120
because there's still German soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front.
00:38:28.720
And they demand some additional minor points to the surrender documents,
00:38:34.140
and that they also demand that they be signed in Berlin on May 8th.
00:38:38.540
So this marks the official Victory in Europe Day.
00:38:44.000
But it's only, there's still, you know, there's still many months of war still to go against the Japanese,
00:38:50.900
but it's victory in Europe that really has, you know, it's an incredibly important date.
00:38:59.580
And, you know, it's significant that we honor this date,
00:39:06.200
I think one of the great, you know, problems with the United States is that we don't honor our heroes in many cases.
00:39:14.020
And we don't take, we don't, we don't actually remember the importance and significance of these events,
00:39:20.960
such as BEE Day, like other European countries and elsewhere.
00:39:30.140
Our elitist, globalist institutions these days, in fact, want to tear down the fabric of the West.
00:39:39.480
So the last thing they want to do is invoke the providence of God, Churchill, Truman, the King's speech we just saw.
00:39:48.260
Now, the men that you've interviewed and documented and studied, what kind of faith,
00:39:55.400
what was in their souls that they knew that freedom was something worth fighting for?
00:40:06.820
I've had the pleasure and honor of saying that many of the great heroes of D-Day and Normandy,
00:40:15.240
as well as World War II in general, were some of my friends.
00:40:19.620
I began interviewing World War II veterans shortly after college, almost 35 years ago.
00:40:27.800
And I have interviewed thousands of veterans, about 4,000 from the elite units,
00:40:33.620
beginning with the 82nd Airborne, going to the 101st, the Rangers, 1st Special Service Force, Merrill's Marauders,
00:40:40.880
the OSS, the elite units, if you will, the precursors to Special Operations Forces in the United States,
00:40:51.400
as well as I interviewed the Axis rivals that many of these men faced.
00:40:56.740
And in some cases, they were some of the hardest core units in the German army, such as the SS.
00:41:04.740
And what the common theme is that these were very hardened individuals, men and women.
00:41:12.220
In many cases, it was the Great Depression that hardened them,
00:41:15.220
because they had to endure the economic hardships, in many cases starvation, lack of employment.
00:41:24.900
And through that, that was a crucible that toughened these individuals.
00:41:31.600
And, you know, they formed, the men that I interviewed formed, for instance, the Airborne, the parachute troops.
00:41:39.300
The first, they were an elite, you know, they were told, you know, very few men were able to get through the training.
00:41:45.900
It was a weed-out process that would get rid of most men that were hard enough and tough enough.
00:41:51.340
And they were told that they could be five regular soldiers.
00:41:56.880
And the OSS operatives, they were commandos that I interviewed, truly extraordinary individuals that didn't understand, you know, their limitations.
00:42:12.800
Many of the stories, the Brenner assignment, for instance, is a book that I wrote about, you know, a commando team, the German operational group.
00:42:28.100
And many of these men were also Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.
00:42:32.980
And they went back for vengeance because their families were languishing in the campsite.
00:42:39.500
And two of those individuals, Dave, were able to affect the surrender of thousands of German troops.
00:42:48.480
You know, single individuals are able to shape and bend history by their actions.
00:42:57.780
I'm going to hold Patrick O'Donnell over through the break so he can share some resources with you, parents, grandparents, kids.
00:43:08.240
We've got to get this into our souls and our minds so that we do honor those who fought so honorably for this country and gave us freedom.
00:43:22.740
It's an honor to be a part of this show with Patrick O'Donnell and the heroes who come on every day.
00:43:27.780
And so right back after the break, stay with us.
00:43:33.840
You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now.

We talked about the entrance of the word, Jesus.
00:45:24.620
We have Patrick K. with us, and he is sharing the words of reason and history, and these words matter.
00:45:33.800
So, Patrick, please share with us, how do people follow your words?
00:45:39.760
My Twitter account is at Combat Historian as well as Getter.
00:45:46.840
You can find my books at Barnes & Noble, The Unvanquished, which covers Mosby and the Rangers, which Wild Bill Donovan World War II used as a template.
00:45:56.180
And it was Mosby that guided a young George Patton in maneuver warfare.
00:46:02.400
My books are at Barnes & Noble and stores everywhere.
00:46:06.580
Poor is a nation that has no heroes, but poor still is a nation that having heroes fails to remember and honor them.
00:46:19.320
That's what my work has been all about, is honoring those heroes and remembering them.
00:46:30.340
Now we're going to Mike Davis on the Ed Martin story.
00:46:36.760
The Senate is out of control, as usual, doing nothing.
00:46:41.020
They always contrast the show horses, us in the Freedom Caucus, with the workhorses in the Senate and the House mainstream who get nothing done for this country.
00:46:50.280
And so thank God for the show horses and the people that make some noise like Mike Davis.
00:46:59.520
He's a good friend of Steve Bannon and yours, Dave, on the show.
00:47:05.260
We have our weak Senate Republican sisters who just couldn't handle Ed Martin's political past.
00:47:17.080
I know the president is a huge fan of Ed Martin's.
00:47:22.400
But sometimes these weak Republican sisters, you just can't get them to change the tampons.
00:47:30.540
Ed Martin is now going to be utilized by President Trump in another high-impact job.
00:47:42.020
I'm hearing Judge Jeanine Pirro is being floated for D.C. U.S. attorney now.
00:47:50.280
So if you guys thought that if the Senate Republican caucus thought Ed Martin was too tough for them, just wait until Judge Jeanine gets there.
00:48:09.540
We got Mike Lindell coming up, and he's in a good mood lately, so I want to share his smile.
00:48:14.480
But these senators, give us a litany of the names of folks they did approve, by contrast.
00:48:19.860
And then we got a guy who's fighting for the Constitution of American freedom on a key day like this.
00:48:30.240
I think Tom Tillis should invest in Tom Tillis tampons because I think he would sell a lot of those things.
00:48:42.240
I think that we need to be smarter on our side about getting bold, fearless people into this position, into these positions.
00:48:50.600
Remember, Senate Democrats put Rachel Rollins as the Boston U.S. attorney under Joe Biden.
00:48:57.800
She was a radical lunatic who got chased out of office very quickly.
00:49:05.040
They brought in Vice President Kamala Harris to break the tie.
00:49:08.800
I think our side needs to get a hell of a lot tougher than we are.
00:49:21.100
And they need to stop being giant pussies and start understanding what we're up against.
00:49:25.960
President Trump has four years and about a 30 percent chance of saving this country.
00:49:32.140
And these cowards in the Senate, Senate Republican cowards, the ladies of the Senates, men and women, the ladies of the Senate, need to grow a backbone.
00:49:43.340
Yeah, Mike, fighting words, all political views of my own.
00:49:50.540
We look to the heights, but in other spheres, we're at war.
00:49:57.240
And if you want to maintain the rule of law in this country, you need fighters.
00:50:02.020
As Steve always says, they're not going to give you the keys.
00:50:07.320
Our Senate leaders, our House leaders, we're letting them keep the keys.
00:50:19.020
Yeah, there's black smoke coming out of the White House.
00:50:21.100
They haven't picked a D.C. U.S. attorney yet, but maybe we'll get white smoke for Judge Jeanine Pirro if the tampon caucus among Senate Republicans can tolerate her.

00:50:53.800
After this whole show, it's just that is our foundation.
00:50:59.700
Mike has been in a great mood over the last few weeks.
00:51:03.060
When he comes in, he's smiling from ear to ear.
00:51:10.760
As we continue to get attacked by the Attorney General in Minnesota,
00:51:14.300
attacking the LindellRecoveryNetwork.org, everybody.
00:51:17.420
But if you know anybody, addiction, or if you want to help out that fight,

I know I'm being attacked because they want to keep suppressing the truth.
00:51:29.620
And the truth is, when we get attacked, we just turn lemons into lemonade.
00:51:35.360
And that's what we're going to do today with the war room posse.
00:51:37.480
What we've done, this is the biggest sale we've ever had.

But here's what I'm going to do for you all today.
00:52:02.540
Today, if you order right now $100 or more to help out, I will match it with $100 of digital gifts.
00:52:13.340
You're going to get anybody that gets them, you're absolutely going to love them.
00:52:33.800
And I'm so excited to offer that to the war room policy because they've helped us to keep fighting.
00:52:44.320
Man, he better give his marketing person a raise with that lime green shirt.
00:52:48.600
He's right up sitting out there with nature and all those green trees.
00:53:09.300
And let's not even start on the natural disasters.

And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.
00:54:17.760
But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
00:54:28.060
So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:39.480
So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements.

And, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:54:47.600
For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:56.760
