We are going to be sending them weapons, and they're going to be paying for them.
00:00:05.100
The United States will not be having any payment made.
00:00:09.820
We're not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they're going to be paying for it.
00:00:15.100
Our last meeting of a month ago was very successful in that they agreed to 5%,
00:00:19.220
which is more than a trillion dollars a year, so they have a lot of money.
00:00:25.080
They have a lot of money, and they want to do it.
00:00:26.700
They feel very strongly about it, and we feel strongly about it, too.
00:00:30.700
But we're in for a lot of money, and we just don't want to do it anymore.
00:00:35.700
But we make the best, and we're going to be sending the best to NATO,
00:00:38.780
and in some cases to maybe, at Mark's suggestion, if we go to Germany,
00:00:43.540
where they're going to send early-on missiles, and they'll be replaced,
00:00:50.200
It's going to be coordinated by NATO, and they're going to work very much with Matt Whitaker,
00:00:55.120
who's right here, who's a great ambassador, and Matt's going to be coordinated.
00:01:05.880
So in a nutshell, we're going to make top-of-the-line weapons,
00:01:12.280
NATO may choose to have certain of them sent to other countries
00:01:19.360
and it'll be mostly in the form of a replacement.
00:01:22.220
And I'd like to have Mark, and again, just a highly respected, pretty young guy,
00:01:28.920
pretty young guy, for having had the career that he's had.
00:01:32.520
Because he had an amazing career before going to NATO.
00:01:36.680
So we spent a lot of time together over the last couple of months.
00:01:42.020
You called me on Thursday that you had taken a decision.
00:01:46.220
And the decision is that you want Ukraine what it needs to have to maintain,
00:01:55.600
but you don't want Europeans to pay for it, which is totally logical.
00:01:59.620
And this is building on the tremendous success of the NATO summit.
00:02:03.620
The 5%, but also the decision to keep Ukraine strong,
00:02:08.720
and the decision to increase our defense industrial production.
00:02:12.820
So based on that, this is, that was Europe stepping up.
00:02:20.580
I can tell you that at this moment, Germany, massively,
00:02:23.760
but also Finland and Denmark and Sweden and Norway,
00:02:29.200
They all want to be part of this, and this is only the first wave.
00:02:38.580
We're here to try and get it finished and settled and whatever.
00:02:59.580
And Matt and everybody else that's working on it,
00:03:08.080
I said, so you're going to vote for the other side?
00:03:23.480
But, you know, the one thing about them, they have bad policy.
00:03:33.720
But you don't have a Mitt Romney in the midst who makes you suffer.
00:03:37.580
You don't have some of the people that I mentioned who make it so hard.
00:03:47.580
You can either get all these things and make the economy strong.
00:03:51.960
Or you're going to literally have perhaps a depression where you people, so rich, so beautiful,
00:04:01.580
And let's see how long your wife stays with you.
00:04:06.380
She'll stay with you for about three weeks and she'll say,
00:04:14.620
If Putin escalates further, how far are you willing to go in response?
00:04:19.900
How far are you willing to go if Putin were to escalate, send more bombs in the coming days?
00:04:31.000
And, you know, I have a problem and J.D. has a problem.
00:04:36.560
They're not Americans dying, but there are a lot of people dying on something that should
00:04:43.980
This group of people, you know, we want to defend our country.
00:04:47.820
But, you know, ultimately, having a strong Europe is a very good thing.
00:04:55.440
As president, I've ended the radical left war on faith and we're once again protecting
00:05:03.120
And God is once again welcomed back into our public square.
00:05:16.120
And I think he's going to want to set things right as well.
00:05:18.060
So I believe that there will probably be more coming on this.
00:05:21.880
And I believe anything that they are able to release that doesn't, you know, damage any
00:05:26.640
witnesses or anyone underage or anything like that, I believe they'll probably try to
00:05:31.440
get out sooner rather than later because they hear it and they understand it.
00:05:34.520
So hopefully we see that happen sooner than later.
00:05:39.200
But to everybody out there who's all worked up about it, there's no great plot to keep
00:05:46.600
I do just believe that maybe it's been slow rolled for reasons that hopefully we understand
00:05:54.000
And I think we're probably going to get more transparency on it very soon.
00:06:04.560
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:06:09.800
Here's another time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:06:17.440
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to
00:06:21.400
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:06:25.720
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:06:31.640
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:06:35.320
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:06:52.820
That was Laura Trump with the great Benny Johnson there.
00:06:55.720
We're talking about the Epstein files, but I want to go.
00:07:01.400
I think currently our best person that understands the apparatus that controls us.
00:07:10.440
Mike, I want to start first with this morning in the Oval Office.
00:07:15.780
This is a meeting that a couple of years ago, or when I say that, not during Biden's thing
00:07:20.340
because he kowtowed to him and glazed him, but during Trump's first term when we fought
00:07:24.980
him every day about even getting to the 2%, which they had committed to in 2014, when the
00:07:30.260
EU and the United States State Department and NATO combined to have a color revolution
00:07:37.000
overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine.
00:07:41.680
A government, by the way, that was very close to Putin.
00:07:44.520
Hey, Putin may have even put his, and the KGB may have put their thumb on the scale in
00:07:50.860
But today, to see that we're going up the escalatory ladder, that President Trump was pretty adamant.
00:08:04.600
Although there was, I think it was Margaret Brennan over at CBS did report the other day,
00:08:10.240
there's talk in the administration of getting back and giving financial aid in the billions
00:08:16.180
I mean, what's your assessment between our intelligence services, particularly CIA's performance
00:08:21.380
in the 12-day war, which we still don't have a readout on why there was such a sense of urgency,
00:08:27.400
and now this massive, major escalation in the Ukraine war, sir?
00:08:35.500
I think the main issue in the Ukraine war is that while Trump was elected president here
00:08:40.060
in the U.S., you have the out-of-power, shadow side of the U.S. government, who is, I think,
00:08:47.920
engaged in shadow diplomacy with the government in Ukraine, and they're turning to governments
00:08:52.800
in Europe on the transatlantic side of it to try to wait Trump out and not strike any deal that
00:09:02.620
And so I think that they're hoping that basically if Democrats can win the House in 2026 and that
00:09:10.000
they've sort of resigned themselves, I think, in a certain respect to the indomitable Trump just
00:09:18.760
But if they can hamstring him in Congress and if they can condition various things on his
00:09:26.280
agenda on providing financial aid to Ukraine, they can wait out the clock as they try other
00:09:36.040
So Trump's sort of stuck, I think, between a rock and a hard place.
00:09:41.220
And stuck because you've got the biggest cheerleaders for this are in the Senate.
00:09:49.520
You've got the NDAA now being negotiated totally in secret behind closed doors.
00:09:55.520
Josh Hawley and other senators tell us they have no earthly idea what's going on on the
00:10:00.960
In the House, the America First really movement and people, you know, the MTGs of people really
00:10:07.140
are non-interventionists are probably a couple of dozen handfuls.
00:10:10.740
And the reason is, is that as soon as Trump's not around to drop the hammer on them, they're
00:10:18.220
going to go back to just being neoliberal, neoconservatives.
00:10:23.840
And one of the reasons is the defense industry spread so much massive money around of the
00:10:33.580
And even within the financial aid space, the DOD has played in increasingly larger and larger
00:10:44.020
That is, you know, starting really in the George Bush era, DOD began to start to really
00:10:55.180
Much of this is because of the sort of dual use nature of aid to begin with when we distribute,
00:11:03.100
you know, aid to the pension workers or to the agriculture workers or to the public health
00:11:10.660
We are trying to essentially curry favor with them to continue a U.S. military mission.
00:11:16.240
And so, you know, my concern is you're shutting down USAID, but you're giving DOD the biggest
00:11:21.920
And given that DOD plays an active role in, you know, foreign aid, I could very easily
00:11:27.860
see the total dollar number of aid remaining the same and simply moving it through the
00:11:33.180
Pentagon, which is not a whole lot more transparent than USAID.
00:11:38.820
When you look at the books, they've never passed an audit.
00:11:41.120
By some accounts, they've lost between $500 billion and $35 trillion of unaccounted for
00:11:48.080
No, and essentially say that is that when Mo was at West Point, one of the areas that
00:11:54.360
of course, women weren't supposed to be in combat, but in that war in Iraq, there was
00:12:01.060
She went in logistics and medical services were two that were there.
00:12:08.440
Civic affairs is a big, civic affairs is a big branch of the army.
00:12:20.840
Mo said, I'm thinking of civic affairs and it's like, what is that?
00:12:25.740
So civic affairs is basically how the military launders the ability to manipulate civilian
00:12:32.840
You know, they'll call it civil affairs within that.
00:12:34.720
You have like civil political or political military.
00:12:38.900
And this is because we have four quadrants in our sort of doctrinal approach to war, four
00:12:46.000
You have the strategic, the tactical, the logistical, and the political.
00:12:50.640
And oftentimes what wins or loses a war is the political side of it.
00:12:55.240
It's, you know, a lot of historians think the reason that we lost Vietnam was not because
00:12:59.820
we were militarily outdone by hillside guerrillas, but because we lost the political will to do
00:13:07.560
And so there's all sorts of the civil affairs branch exists to essentially have the military
00:13:13.280
take control or exert influence on the civilian branch of government.
00:13:17.860
And it kind of inverts the entire conception of a democracy where the, you have the civilian
00:13:24.420
as a commander in chief and the civilian run government, civilian run military.
00:13:29.480
When the military is top down controlling the civilian affairs, then you basically have a
00:13:34.240
And this is what Trump was confronted by during his whole first term was the civil affairs
00:13:38.400
branch of the military laundering funds to censor the internet.
00:13:42.260
I ran into this in the internet censorship story left, right, and center.
00:13:45.520
I had to become a specialist in the area because I didn't know what the hell the civil affairs
00:13:49.100
branch was doing funding the censorship of the entire Trump movement.
00:13:55.320
That would be the domestic, the civil affairs funding, shutting down domestic.
00:14:09.380
The great Mike Benz joins us on a Monday of the wars and rumors of wars.
00:14:17.960
The United States not just sending, stripping the Pacific of additional Patriot missiles,
00:14:27.500
Of course, NATO's paying for them, but it's a massive escalatory move.
00:14:31.460
The question is, is it going to make any difference?
00:14:33.240
Also, you heard a lot of Trump right there with the great Benny Johnson.
00:14:38.420
Mike Benz has got some very specific thoughts about the information we need to come forward
00:14:42.600
if you want to get to the bottom of the Epstein situation.
00:14:51.160
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro,
00:15:04.800
the block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,
00:15:10.460
are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:18.840
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans,
00:15:23.780
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960
While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:36.360
when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility
00:15:45.180
Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

00:16:07.380
let Birch Gold Army with a free, no-obligation info kit
00:16:30.800
and I think he's going to want to set things right as well.
00:16:32.720
So I believe that there will probably be more coming on this,
00:16:36.360
and I believe anything that they are able to release
00:16:44.300
I believe they'll probably try to get out sooner rather than later
00:16:49.800
So hopefully we see that happen sooner than later.
00:16:53.860
But to everybody out there who's all worked up about it,
00:16:56.240
there's no great plot to keep this information away
00:17:01.080
I do just believe that maybe it's been slow-rolled for reasons
00:17:08.720
and I think we're probably going to get more transparency.
00:17:15.640
and she's as dialed in as you can get to the president.
00:17:21.840
So John Solomon's talking about there's an investigation going on
00:17:25.000
over at FBI about, and Benz, you're going to be busy
00:17:29.580
for the next couple of years because this is the stuff
00:17:31.540
you've been mourning the country about for a while.
00:17:35.280
There's an investigation about the crossfire hurricane
00:17:37.900
trying to stop Trump in the summer of 16 from winning,
00:17:43.460
and, you know, the Russia hoax after he was in office,
00:17:46.440
all the way up to the stealing of the election,
00:17:49.020
and, you know, the impeachment, the perfect phone call,
00:18:00.160
I've been strongly advocating that to get information out
00:18:06.100
so they can start, you know, petitioning the court
00:18:08.820
to unseal certain of, unseal all of the evidence,
00:18:13.720
and then they can make a determination how you get it out.
00:18:21.800
better than anybody, I think, about Epstein and all this.
00:18:52.600
the administration and depress Republican voter turnout
00:19:03.840
after complaining about the previous governments.
00:19:14.220
I think that's what people are effectively feeling,
00:19:18.220
is Epstein's role with potential intelligence ties
00:19:24.460
kind of a pedophilia or child sex trafficking story
00:19:31.900
and that looks not like it's just protecting millionaires and billionaires,
00:19:37.640
but that it's actually some apparatus within the U.S. government
00:19:44.780
wanted the Epstein case dead for their own reasons.
00:19:50.680
And it's my belief that when you look at the profile of Jeffrey Epstein
00:19:55.760
and his entire history coming up through Bear Stearns
00:19:59.760
and then being this sort of financial bounty hunter
00:20:28.080
and that you will not be able to find necessarily
00:20:45.620
and to set up financing for various either covert action
00:20:52.020
or economic deals that were deemed to be in U.S. interest.
00:20:58.340
And I believe that there's also an international side
00:21:05.060
in the sorts of affairs that Epstein's life led through,
00:21:16.540
And I think people saw Pam Bondi's response last week
00:21:27.300
And she said in the White House at the cabinet meeting,
00:21:41.120
Sitting right next to her at the cabinet meeting
00:21:47.140
I mean, the thing stinks to high heavens that way.
00:22:08.360
Three days after Epstein was indicted the second time,
00:22:30.600
and that's why he gave him the sweetheart deal.
