Transcript
00:00:00.000
First is country music star, actor, and producer, George Strait.
00:00:12.480
Great. Over an extraordinary four-decade career, George has sold more than 120 million records
00:00:20.560
worldwide, amassed 60 number one hits, wow, and produced 33 platinum certified albums,
00:00:29.120
more than any other living American. That is amazing. He's believed by millions of people to
00:00:36.400
just be as good as you can get, and he's beloved by hundreds of millions of people all over the
00:00:44.720
world. He's really something, and they call him the king of country, and we know him very well,
00:00:49.920
George Strait. Second is actor, singer, philanthropist, and star of the Broadway stage,
00:01:01.280
one of my favorite talents. I think he's one of the greatest talents I've ever actually seen.
00:01:06.320
I've always said, and just so we don't get in trouble, I'll say among, but among the greatest
00:01:12.800
artists in the world are the Broadway London actors back and forth. That's all they want to do is they
00:01:17.440
want to do Broadway, and they want to do London. They want to do eight shows a week, including
00:01:23.040
matinee on Wednesday. And if you said make a movie, they can't even think about it. If you say go on
00:01:28.640
television, they don't want it. All they want to do is be on the stage, the live stage, and it's
00:01:32.880
amazing. But I've always said they're the most talented people. And this man may be the most of all,
00:01:39.200
Michael Crawford is being honored. Next, we look forward to honoring three-time Oscar nominee,
00:01:46.640
Golden Globe Award winner, an action movie icon, and a friend of mine. He's a very unique man. He's
00:01:54.720
somebody that doesn't do these things. I said, I wonder if he'll accept, because some people
00:01:59.600
don't really want to be honored. They don't care. But he was very honored to be honored, I will tell
00:02:08.640
you. He was, he's a very special guy. A real talent, never been given the credit for the talent. There
00:02:17.040
was nobody else could have done the roles that he did like he did. I'm not even close. And they've
00:02:20.800
tried and they didn't work out too well. His name is Sylvester Stallone.
00:02:31.120
Fourth, we'll be together celebrating one of the most revered singers of the American disco era,
00:02:40.960
Best known for her chart-topping 1978 hit, I Will Survive. Gloria won the 1980 Grammy for Best Disco
00:02:56.480
Recording and her song was inducted into the National Recording Registry in 2016. Four decades later,
00:03:04.320
Gloria won a second Grammy in 2020 for her gospel album, Testimony, which is incredible.
00:03:12.640
Truly a historic achievement, not only in times of the, not only in terms of the years that have gone
00:03:18.800
by to be great that long, but to have the two top, two top of anything in that span of time and
00:03:27.040
with that kind of period between is pretty amazing. And finally, we'll be honoring one of the greatest rock
00:03:42.720
So KISS was formed in 1973 in New York City by founding band members and incredible people,
00:03:50.080
by the way, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Fraley, and Peter Criss.
00:03:57.360
KISS became a global phenomenon, sold more than 100 million records worldwide and produced 30
00:04:05.920
gold albums and lots of other things they produced. They made a fortune. And they're great people,
00:04:12.400
and they deserve it, and they work hard, and they're still working hard. And it's an honor to
00:04:17.840
present Chris, KISS. Thank you very much. Got it? Yeah. Thank you.
00:04:24.560
What exactly is happening? Because just on the face of it, one of the concerns I've read is,
00:04:30.880
even if you've gotten people who have said, I'll take the Kennedy Center honors,
00:04:35.120
there's usually dozens and dozens of people who show up to perform in honor of them. Will they get
00:04:41.280
performers out? The idea of a president of the United States hosting, what's going on at the Kennedy
00:04:47.200
Center? Yeah, I don't mean to say that we're, you know, getting into the D list of celebrities,
00:04:53.040
but we're certainly getting into, or, you know, entertainers. We're certainly getting to a point where
00:04:57.760
there's a very small pool because what's going on at the Kennedy Center is, you know, a takeover by
00:05:03.120
the president that isn't just about who gets to sit on the board, but it is literally down to him
00:05:08.880
choosing who's going to be a recipient of awards. And you look down the list, you know, that he named
00:05:14.000
today, you know, KISS, the band, headlined by Gene Simmons, who was a candidate, I guess, on
00:05:22.960
the celebrity apprentice. You look at Sylvester Stallone, a huge Trump supporter. And, you know,
00:05:29.200
we all love Sly Stallone and Rocky 50 years ago or so, but it's certainly not the sort of lifetime
00:05:35.840
achievement that you normally see in a Kennedy Center honor. So basically, it looks like the
00:05:40.240
standard is as long as you have supported Donald Trump in the past, you could be a Kennedy Center
00:05:46.160
Honorary. By the way, I should say one other thing, if you don't mind, Chris. I think we heard
00:05:53.920
him talking about politics earlier then. I think we got a clip of that. Okay.
00:05:59.440
I shouldn't make this political because they made the Academy Awards political and they went down the
00:06:03.920
tubes. So they'll say Trump made it political. But I think if we make it our kind of political,
00:06:09.280
we'll go up. Okay. Let's see if I'm right about that.
00:06:11.920
Our kind of political, Trump said, and again, if you look at the list of honorees,
00:06:17.440
it's clear where that's headed. Burn it down. They're just anti-institutionalists. You know,
00:06:21.840
Alex Wagner the other day, we're the ones that protect the institutions. No, Alex,
00:06:25.840
we're grabbing the institutions and taking power. As the American people, the way our constitutional
00:06:31.840
system works, gave President Trump the authority to do. So we're going to deconstruct
00:06:38.240
the administrative state. We're going to purge the deep state and the executive branch.
00:06:47.840
And we control the house already. Oh, by the way, the judiciary, you're not going to get your
00:06:53.120
judges through. They're all going to be Trump judges. I want you to you're on the fetal position.
00:06:57.600
So I'm gonna give you something really suck your thumbs about.
00:07:01.200
We are in charge. Okay. The American people have spoken.
00:07:05.280
All right, everyone, if that doesn't jack you up a bit, I don't know what will. Steve Bannon,
00:07:13.600
seizing the institutions, Rocky in the background, one of the greatest movies ever made.
00:07:20.000
In my view, I'm going to get in trouble with my wife at home for that one.
00:07:23.120
But this is a return to the 80s. Seizing the institutions. I love this. I kiss Rocky Sylvester
00:07:30.960
Stallone at the Kennedy Center. If that's not seizing the institutions, I don't know what is.
00:07:36.800
So I personally love it. DC's being shaken up. We're returning to peace around the world,
00:07:43.840
hopefully. We're returning to peace in the streets. The stock market likes it. The markets are ripping
00:07:49.680
up. It's unbelievable what's going on. Huge capital investment coming our way, $10 trillion.
00:07:58.080
Tariffs are having their anticipated effect on the rest of the world, both politically and
00:08:02.640
economically. Today's show you're going to love. We're going to cover the many conspiracies that
00:08:09.360
are no longer conspiracies. They are all going to grand juries because the evidence is overwhelming.
00:08:16.480
And so today on the show, we have Colonel Derek Harvey, Sam Battis, and then the Nixon
00:08:22.240
piece that Steve did the other day with Michael Patrick Leahy and Jeff Shepard. I loved it. My wife
00:08:28.160
and I are going to be watching that thing tonight. We should have watched it last night because I'm
00:08:31.520
interviewing him right now. But that kind of tees up everything, right? The JFK files have been
00:08:38.320
released a little bit more. It gives us a little more hints that the American people have been on
00:08:43.920
the right page. But let's just get right to the news of the day. It's an honor to bring in Colonel
00:08:49.680
Derek Harvey, and we're going to cover the breaking Russian news first. We had the meetings with Zelensky
00:08:57.920
today who took extreme liberties, not of manners and decorum, but just out of control, imbalance of
00:09:09.600
power between the United States and him in the White House in front of President Trump and J.D. Vance,
00:09:15.440
just kind of a stunning setup. And I don't think he's holding too many cards, but that's why we brought in
00:09:22.960
the expert. And so, Colonel Derek Harvey, can you bring us up on the news of the day and what that
00:09:30.400
set of meetings means? And then we'll get to Friday when we're done with today. Thank you for being with
00:09:35.200
us. Great to be here. Well, Dave, I think that President Zelensky and his main backers, the UK,
00:09:42.720
France, for example, they're the maximalist groups that are holding out for a very hard line position
00:09:54.240
in trying to bring this war to an end completely on their terms. Russia, really no negotiation.
00:10:01.120
Russia has to not only see the territory they've taken in the invasion three and a half years ago,
00:10:07.680
but they also have to see Crimea and other territories taken back in 2014, etc. So there's that.
00:10:17.440
But NATO is not united. You know, you've got Germany and Poland and others that are
00:10:26.480
very fatigued and want to get out of business with Russia. So I think what we're going to be seeing here
00:10:33.600
is an effort by the president to move the ball forward in a deal, possibly a framework of a deal,
00:10:43.760
with Putin that would address things with carrots and sticks, trade, technology access, help with the
00:10:51.440
economy for Russia. At the same time, you know, we still have the, you know, the levers of the stick,
00:10:59.440
you know, the sanctions and things like that, that are there too. But it's going to be a very
00:11:05.280
difficult thing because Putin is playing the long game. He sees the weakness in NATO. He knows that
00:11:10.560
America first does not really want to be engaged and he sees popular support for Zelensky and those
00:11:18.240
positions there by his administration deteriorating rapidly.
00:11:21.680
Yeah. How do you frame the following, right? We believe in the nation state. The globalists want
00:11:29.840
one world government. NATO and the Europeans are probably more toward the globalist position.
00:11:35.360
And so we're in a precarious position where we're saying to a sovereign state, Ukraine, hey,
00:11:41.760
your days are up. But it's kind of because we're so principled like Cub Scouts, right? In no way are
00:11:47.920
they a sovereign state. Our CIA and the Europeans have been playing on this. And NATO has been adding,
00:11:55.760
you know, 16 countries since the deal in 1991, where we gave our oral promise that we wouldn't
00:12:01.680
move east, 17 countries later now, and an unelected president in Zelensky. And we're supposed to,
00:12:08.800
you know, so how do you appraise that situation? He has been acting on the behest of NATO and the United
00:12:16.640
States. And now to think that he's going to call the shots as a leader of a sovereign country,
00:12:21.600
supposedly, when the whole global order and potential nuclear war is at stake. How do you
00:12:26.720
assess that state of affairs? Well, he's in a very weak position in so many ways, but he's
00:12:33.760
obstinate and he has the support of Paris and London and some other capitals and the EU leadership and
00:12:40.800
many in NATO. So that's where his strength comes from. But he is increasingly isolated. And so that's
00:12:47.520
going to be a challenge. But, you know, they can't win the war. And that's just a reality. And I don't
00:12:54.160
think the United States wants to take, you know, significant risk by, you know, removing restrictions
00:13:01.360
on the use of U.S. offensive military capabilities that have been provided. And I don't think we want
00:13:08.400
to provide more offensive capability to them either. We want to get on with building peace in the area
00:13:18.240
and rebuilding NATO and, you know, developing trade and economic efforts that will, you know, bring,
00:13:24.800
you know, Russia and Germany's interests more in line, I think. I think there's a number of avenues here.
00:13:32.800
But keep in mind, this is very important, Dave. Ukraine's government was toppled by a, you know,
00:13:40.960
that was aligned with Russia was toppled by an Obama era color revolution. Okay. And you go back to,
00:13:48.720
you know, to all of that. We wouldn't be in this place today if it hadn't been for the malign
00:13:54.320
behavior of the Obama administration and their State Department intelligence services
00:13:59.360
that were playing games in a way that they should never have been.
00:14:04.880
Yeah, that's great. I'm going to hold you over the break. If you can stay with us,
00:14:09.040
that'd be super. And let's dig a little deeper. I just want to know, is his approval necessary,
00:14:16.720
right? He's saying no Ukrainian land. He's making the deal impossible, right? It's very clear to most
00:14:24.720
people that Putin's going to take the Donbass and, you know, the South and maybe a hair more.
00:14:33.360
And so after the break, we'll come back and assess that. You're kind of using the long run leverage we
00:14:40.720
have over him. Do we have short run leverage to just ignore him? Because I think that's the route
00:14:46.880
Trump's going to end up taking one way or the other. And so stay tuned after the break. And
00:15:00.080
This July, there's a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers,
00:15:06.560
including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United
00:15:13.120
States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset. As BRICS nations push
00:15:20.080
forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of
00:15:24.800
the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going
00:15:31.600
to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively
00:15:39.120
from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into

00:17:08.640
do a great job today on Squawk Box with the Conservative and the New York Times. Totally respectful.
00:17:15.880
Great dialogue. But Charlie just said, you know, this establishment deep state crew is unrepentant
00:17:24.280
in any way, shape, or form. Going back to the 08 financial crisis all the way through. The
00:17:29.360
middle class, the working class has been devastated. And he held their feet to the fire and said,
00:17:34.300
it's our turn right now. And he's taking a little grief for the populist movement not telling
00:17:41.120
the truth. And Charlie right back. He said, you're telling me the establishment's been telling the
00:17:46.700
truth. Just, you know, perfect Charlie Kirk. And so markets are up. The financial channel's
00:17:54.180
unrepentant. And they've just been fully on fire. But all the experts, all the PhD economists out there
00:18:02.320
saying, oh, this Trump tariff's going to cause inflation. The latest data says no. The economic data
00:18:09.520

00:18:52.140
All right. We're going back to Colonel Derek Harvey. Following up right where we left off on,
00:18:58.400
are the days of Zelensky numbered? Does he get to hold up global relations single-handedly
00:19:07.320
with absurd conditions that no land will be negotiated in any way? What does Trump do if
00:19:12.740
he holds that position? Well, I don't see how Zelensky can hold the position over the long haul
00:19:19.960
because there'll be too much pressure, not just from President Trump, but also from European countries
00:19:26.220
and leaders, international community, and importantly, from within his own country because
00:19:31.120
the numbers have flipped over three years. We're 60, you know, a large percentage, 65% or so,
00:19:38.000
according to the latest Gallup. How reliable those polls are there, I'm not sure, but it shows that
00:19:44.220
there's just a groundswell in a movement towards wanting a peaceful outcome, getting this war over
00:19:51.900
with. Ukraine's exhausted. Europe is tired of it. The international community wants to get on with
00:19:57.660
things, in my view. And Trump's going to meet Putin on Friday, and he's going to have a serious talk
00:20:05.000
with him. He said that, you know, there has to be movement. And then the second thing is he's going
00:20:09.940
to follow up with additional meetings, which is going to be important, with Zelensky and Putin.
00:20:16.820
The timing of those, I'm not certain, but, you know, the president has clearly laid out there's going to be a
00:20:20.980
series of meetings to try and get this resolved as quickly as he can.
00:20:29.120
Great. Derek Harvey, I've never gotten a chance to congratulate you on your position, special
00:20:34.980
assistant to the President of the United States after serving our country in the armed forces. So
00:20:40.880
thank you for your service, and congratulations on your new position. And on the show, you get into
00:20:46.760
intelligence issues quite a bit. We got Sam Faddis coming up. I'm going to ask you both an impossible
00:20:52.280
question that's kind of leading, but I just kind of want to get your response. It just seems that
00:20:57.280
there's so much of these conspiracies that are lining up, and they're no longer conspiracies. The
00:21:02.940
evidence is coming in from Tulsi Gabbard going to grand juries. And I could just read off a list.
00:21:09.840
The Nixon case, we've got Michael Patrick Leahy and Jeff Shepard coming up next with some receipts
00:21:16.360
there. JFK recently released new files from our CIA, from John Ratcliffe. Biden laptop, Biden checks,
00:21:27.720
Hillary bleach bit, and Hillary foundation. New receipts coming in in the last week. Federal
00:21:35.020
reserve, 2008 banking crisis, no one goes to jail. That one's totally unresolved. No one goes to jail.
00:21:41.240
Big pharma, Fauci, RFK Jr., the CIA, 70 coup de tas, USAID media funded, CIA cutouts at every turn.
00:21:53.040
Why don't you just, it seems that we need some new vocabulary. I apologize, folks, they installed some
00:21:59.600
new technology in my office today. But it seems like we need some new terminology for what has
00:22:07.160
been going on in this country, this total loss of institutional credibility. The receipts are in,
00:22:13.520
Bannon called his show this morning, seizing the institutions for this reason. How do you
00:22:19.020
characterize this 50-year swath of corruption from the deep state up in D.C. with our elites and the
00:22:27.000
establishment who are supposed to be lead us in the right direction? Derek Harvey.
00:22:31.680
Well, I call it abdication of the leadership of the Congress. And, you know, that's both sides,
00:22:38.720
the Senate and the House of Representatives, of their oversight. And they've passed the buck to allow
00:22:43.560
far too much autonomy and decision-making for the execution and implementation of rules
00:22:50.320
across the departments and agencies and also for the executive branch. But, you know, just even
00:22:57.860
recently, you didn't mention the COVID, you know, disinformation, the January 6th information that's
00:23:04.820
rolling now that we're getting from the others here. There's the, you know, election information that
00:23:12.880
Tulsi has laid out. And I just go back, and Sam Faddis can talk about this, but, you know,
00:23:19.320
Eisenhower warned about this, but we've just built up more institutions with the D&I and the Department
00:23:26.400
of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act and others that have empowered unaccountable people,
00:23:32.380
okay? And I just leave it with this. Durham, in his report, he said there are no need for
00:23:38.760
recommendations for changes because no one is conducting, I'm paraphrasing, no one's conducting
00:23:44.280
oversight, no one's enforcing the laws, the rules, and the policies that have been in place, you know,
00:23:51.380
to make sure that the system works the way it's supposed to, honestly, with integrity. So why
00:23:56.420
should I make any recommendations? Wow. Yeah, that's just a stunning admission.
00:24:03.420
Colonel Derek Harvey, thanks for being with us today on The War Room. Congratulations on your new
00:24:07.660
position, serving the country as you always have. God bless you. Keep up the great work, and hope to talk
00:24:12.520
to you soon. Thank you. God bless you. You bet. All right, Sam Faddis with us, former CIA operative.
00:24:22.080
Sam, why don't you just follow up with the same logic? How do you characterize this long, long
00:24:28.020
laundry list? Now, they're not conspiracies. They're not theories. They're not conjecture.
00:24:32.840
We have evidence and the receipts. The mainstream media won't ever tell you about that when they just
00:24:38.500
make fun of Tulsi and says she's making groundless claims. She's handed in hundreds and hundreds and
00:24:42.640
hundreds of pages across the board. And so how do you characterize this last 50-year period?
00:24:48.060
And, you know, Steve Bannon earlier in the day was talking about seizing the institution. So
00:24:51.940
put it all together for us. How do the American people understand what has happened to this great
00:24:58.740
Look, we have allowed the creation, the growth of a completely extra-constitutional,
00:25:08.880
at a minimum, fourth branch of government unaccountable to the American people. And on
00:25:14.860
any given day, the folks that really run the country and have been running the country for a long time
00:25:20.900
are in that fourth branch of government, that fourth branch of government being
00:25:25.500
all of these giant government agencies. And look, I have nothing but respect for a lot of the folks,
00:25:33.680
the rank and file in places like CIA, FBI, outdoing dangerous work and, you know, putting their lives
00:25:42.420
on the line. But certainly in the top ranks of these organizations, you got folks that have lost the
00:25:49.240
bubble. And they now believe they rule the country. And they're not really, it's not just nobody's
00:25:58.200
holding them. I mean, nobody is holding them accountable. And they certainly do not believe
00:26:02.380
they are accountable. And increasingly, they go to Washington and spend their entire lives
00:26:09.100
in Washington. So it's 40 years later, and you're a clapper at the top of one of these agencies.
00:26:16.300
And when Trump wins in 2016, he famously expresses shock at the disconnect between the average
00:26:25.120
American and Washington, D.C. And what you're thinking is, well, did you ever get in a car and drive
00:26:32.600
anywhere outside the Beltway and like talk to anybody? You drive through Pennsylvania, where I live,
00:26:39.300
and look at all the closed mills and everybody's shopping in the dollar store? Like, no, you didn't.
00:26:46.220
So it is not just out of touch. It believes it is above and beyond the Constitution. And
00:26:55.200
I've certainly had this conversation with you and with Steve. These guys at the top here,
00:27:01.320
the folks that put together what amounts to a nine-year-long coup against Donald Trump,
00:27:06.980
they have no intention of going quietly into the night. I mean, if you think that you put two guys
00:27:14.080
at the top of CIA, Ratcliffe and his deputy, and now you have transformed that agency and you're in
00:27:22.760
control of it, I don't know what to say to you. You're living in another dimension. That is not a
00:27:28.480
condemnation of everybody at CIA. It's just to say that place is filled with, at the senior levels,
00:27:33.960
folks that were put there by somebody like John Brennan. And still, even if they don't take
00:27:41.200
direct orders from Brennan, are in fact pursuing his agenda. So we got a lot of work to do and a lot
00:27:49.940
of house cleaning. Yeah. Back with Sam Faddis after the break. We're going to follow up there.
00:27:55.760
It appears, you know, these Epstein files caught everybody. And the big issue there is everyone's
00:28:03.300
blackmailing everybody. And that's why it seems that they can't go in and clean house at the CIA
00:28:07.400
or the FBI or the State Department. If you wipe out the top levels, you get threats with blackmail
00:28:14.220
of every sort. And so we're going to ask Sam Faddis about that after the break. So stay tuned to the
00:28:20.480
War Room back with Sam Faddis, former CIA operative, War Room favorite.
00:28:27.220

so help support them as well. All right, back in the War Room with the great Sam Faddis,
00:31:02.060
former CIA operative. And so we were just chatting over this list of the horribles,
00:31:08.320
the receipts we have on all these conspiracies. And Sam, you have a lifetime here with expertise.
00:31:15.060
Is there any way, how do you think about, is there any way you categorize this, a list of criteria?
00:31:20.300
What is the most serious of these cases that face this country? Because it's overwhelming.
00:31:26.880
So what do we tackle first? What's the first level significance for our country?
00:31:32.380
I think you got to jump on the stuff that's the most immediate. And in other words, we got nine
00:31:37.660
years of, in various iterations, what amounts to a coup against Donald Trump, an attempt to subvert
00:31:45.900
the Constitution. But, you know, agencies trying to decide that they get to choose who's allowed to
00:31:53.560
sit in the White House. We got to attack that. And we got to hold people responsible. And that isn't
00:31:58.520
charging John Brennan with perjury. I'm talking significant charges, felonies, convictions,
00:32:06.400
and imprisonment. And by the way, that will not be easy. That will take massive resources. Let's focus
00:32:13.500
on the immediate issue. We can get around to asking CIA where these files about the JFK assassination
00:32:20.040
have been for 50 years, whatever it is, more than that now, later. But right now, we got to do that.
00:32:28.280
And we have to get control of these institutions. Again, I mean, with all respect for Director
00:32:34.880
Ratcliffe at CIA, again, using CIA only as an example, he should have fired every top executive
00:32:40.580
on the seventh floor, day one, before he sat down in his chair. That's the reality.
00:32:46.880
Yep. That's the, I know, it makes the American people scratch their head.
00:32:51.580
Let's go to the current news of the day. We covered with Colonel Harvey as well. But Russia
00:32:58.160
discussions today, Trump with Zelensky. Zelensky saying, I'm not compromised. We're not moving any
00:33:05.040
lines with respect to Ukraine. Of course, that's not the case. Russia's winning easily.
00:33:10.840
And the question in my mind, and most people I think that are saying is whether it's Kiev or not
00:33:16.000
Kiev, right? That's more the question. If he thinks he's going to run this war forever,
00:33:20.460
he's going to lose his whole country. And I don't think that's going to happen. And so
00:33:24.380
Colonel Harvey said there'll be enough international pressure against him, but the UK and France are
00:33:30.100
still supporting him. But I think Trump wants a deal now, and he's got the call Friday with Putin.
00:33:35.940
And so how do you see closure coming about here?
00:33:40.500
Well, look, as you've, as you've noted, Zelensky's writing checks. He can't cash,
00:33:44.080
right? He's way out over his skis. The guy's, well, I don't know that he ever had a mind. He's
00:33:49.200
lost his mind. Okay. You, you are going to make the decisions all by yourself. Well,
00:33:55.620
you aren't fighting the war by yourself, buddy. And if you were in it by yourself,
00:33:59.480
the Russians would have been in Kiev years ago. So the reality is you're going to have to face
00:34:06.420
what the facts here. The facts are, you're going to have a peace treaty and pieces of Ukraine
00:34:14.920
currently occupied by Russia will continue to be occupied by Russia. Exactly what Donald Trump said.
00:34:22.240
Now, does that mean every square inch the Russians occupy right now, you have to give up on? That's
00:34:27.720
not what I'm saying. I'm saying you will not get all that territory back. That's the reality. And
00:34:33.600
look, the Europeans can do what they do best, which is talk a lot. But if Zelensky thinks he's
00:34:42.020
going on his own without us and the Europeans, he's toast. He's done. The entire British army has a
00:34:49.420
grand total of 17,000 deployable guys. The Russians will kill that many in a month. So that's where we
00:34:58.060
are. What happens to Zelensky? I don't know. Maybe somebody in Ukraine topples him and that's not
00:35:05.420
code for the CIA. Maybe, maybe there are people in Ukraine who say we're done with you. Maybe one
00:35:11.140
day you find Zelensky got on a plane and disappeared the UAE where he's apparently been sending money for
00:35:17.000
some period of time. I don't know, but I do know he's got a wake up call coming. He, he has to accept
00:35:23.340
the, in the real world, he will not get all of his territory back. I'm not a fan of Putin's. I'm just
00:35:30.280
telling you what we, what, what the reality is, what the facts are. Yeah. Yeah. In a, in a closing
00:35:36.760
minute, Sam, uh, you know, the populist base, uh, beg everyone watching this show is scratching their
00:35:44.680
head on this one. They say, why doesn't Trump just take back all of the satellite stuff, all the
00:35:49.020
weapon, we stop all the everything and it's over. And that big mouth can be quiet a little bit.
00:35:54.520
Why hasn't that happened? Well, because obviously there are implications for us, unfortunately,
00:36:01.380
because even though Trump wasn't in office, the United States provided all this. The, the spectacle
00:36:06.820
of the United States taking everything, walking away and letting Ukraine just simply fall to the
00:36:12.600
Russians completely has implications for us all over the world. Just like us fleeing Afghanistan.
00:36:18.740
So, you know, we're stuck to that extent, but I expect some really hard-nosed conversations
00:36:24.660
between our guys and Zelensky. And I expect some seniors, Ukrainians telling Zelensky,
00:36:31.980
Hey man, I don't know what you're thinking, but if the Americans walk, I'm packing up my family
00:36:37.960
and going because the Russians will drive to Kiev in about two days. Yeah. Yep. All right. Sam
00:36:44.900
fan. It's a very wise man with always sober analysis. Uh, I, I, I love having them on. Uh,
00:36:52.060
it's just refreshing hearing a very mature voice on very tough issues, uh, that some people are just,
00:36:58.120
you know, slight and don't give them serious consideration. So Sam, thanks always for your
00:37:01.880
hard work and, uh, your, your super analysis on the war room. God bless you. Thank you.
00:37:05.980
Thank you, sir. Thanks for having me. You bet. Always, always. All right, uh, folks,
00:37:11.560
you're in for a treat right now. We're going to go to a bit of a cold open here, uh, to set up the
00:37:16.400
Nixon conspiracy and wait till you hear this story. This will blow your mind as well. Fire it up.
00:37:22.360
Secret meetings between judges and prosecutors, evidence hidden from defense attorneys,
00:37:27.460
biased juries, and unaccountable prosecution force packed with political enemies,
00:37:31.580
congressional leaders who are out to get the president and a dishonest media. This is how
00:37:36.640
the deep state took down a president and created the playbook they've used ever since.
00:37:42.940
All right. It's an honor to, uh, I, I'm not introducing them. Michael Patrick Leahy and Jeff
00:37:48.900
Shepard, uh, to the war room. They're on with Steve yesterday, uh, on this Nixon conspiracy.
00:37:54.900
Uh, thank you gentlemen for being on. If you don't know Michael Patrick Leahy, uh, he's been a mega
00:38:00.400
populist, uh, soldier for decades. He helped me way back when I was a rookie liberal arts college
00:38:07.060
professor in economics and, uh, was a voice of, uh, strength and, and, and a solid foundation and
00:38:14.740
cheerleader for me. So he's a good friend as well. And, uh, boy, does this story, it just fits. It's
00:38:20.740
so overwhelming. There's so many similarities and commonalities between, uh, the movie you have
00:38:26.900
and, and today, everything we've covered on the show today, this list of horribles.
00:38:31.540
And so, uh, Michael, why don't you just tee us off? First of all, tell everybody, uh, where do they
00:38:36.300
find this movie? Folks go watch this thing because, uh, you got to educate your family, your kids,
00:38:41.440
the war room, the posse, everybody needs to learn all this stuff. History matters. Uh, Michael fire away.
00:38:48.240
Uh, the documentary is, uh, from war room films and you can go right now to war room.film war room.film
00:38:59.000
and you can just put your email address in and download the entire one hour and 30 minute
00:39:04.640
documentary. How the deep state took down Richard Nixon. We, uh, announced this launched it yesterday
00:39:12.100
morning on Bannon's war room. And guess what? We've had in 24 hours, Dave, we've had over 13,000 downloads.
00:39:21.540
I don't know how many we're going to have now, but we this afternoon, uh, uh, sent out an email to all
00:39:27.900
13,000 who've downloaded it. And we want to get your reviews of this documentary. We'll publish them.
00:39:34.680
And if you want to send me on X, your review, just go to Michael P. Leahy. So here's the deal. Uh,
00:39:41.300
I have interviewed on my radio program, uh, about a year and a half ago, uh, my good friend,
00:39:47.720
Jeff Shepard. Jeff was, uh, in the Nixon white house. He was a Harvard law school graduate.
00:39:53.580
And, uh, his first job was as a white house fellow. Then he spent five years, uh, as an attorney
00:39:59.460
in the Nixon white house. He transcribed, transcribed the smoking gun tape. He spent
00:40:05.460
more than, uh, 20 years writing and researching about it. And we discovered something that is
00:40:13.060
really amazing. No one else has ever reported this, Dave Bratt. Uh, there are at least a dozen
00:40:19.680
due process violations for Watergate defendants and Richard Nixon's that are egregious. For instance,
00:40:27.500
the secret meetings where the judge John Sirica, uh, talked and strategized with the special
00:40:34.800
prosecutor, Leon Jaworski. That's just one example of it. And then what was really stunning
00:40:41.200
was, uh, uh, uh, that, uh, Jeff told me about the role that John Dean really played. And this
00:40:47.700
might be a good time for Jeff to come in and talk about John Dean that he knew. Yeah. Well,
00:40:54.140
first Mike go Sirica and Jaworski. Why does that matter? The people are listening. So what
00:40:59.340
happened? What's so bad? And then we'll go to Jeff. Yeah. Well, look, if, if you are charged
00:41:05.160
with a crime, you have certain fifth amendment due process rights and, and a fair trial from
00:41:09.900
an unbiased judge is part of that. And, uh, it is absolutely unfair for the judge to meet secretly
00:41:18.280
with the prosecutor and not have your defense attorney there. That is, that is the epitome
00:41:24.260
of unfairness. And that's what happened as part of this process.
00:41:29.300
Yeah. Unreal. All right, Jeff, uh, you got two minutes, uh, to make drop a couple bombs. So,
00:41:34.700
uh, give us your best smoking guns quick, and we'll come back to you guys right after the break.
00:41:39.160
Sure. Uh, there are four phrases today that are bandied about with, with regard to Trump,
00:41:43.940
uh, uh, deep state, uh, false narrative, fake news, and most of all lawfare. Uh, but those things
00:41:50.900
existed, uh, uh, during Watergate. We just didn't know the bottom. We had different names for them,
00:41:56.440
but they've started to come out and, and what they show is the prosecutors and, and the, uh, judges
00:42:03.700
and the Eastern liberal establishment hated Nixon so much. They were willing to cheat to drive him out
00:42:10.800
of office. Uh, you can imagine that because you can, you can tell the hatred for Donald Trump today.
00:42:17.540
I mean, seething hatred by lots of people. And you can imagine a situation where those people would
00:42:26.300
be perfectly willing to cheat, to keep him from power, to throw him out of office. That's what we
00:42:32.880
have discovered happened during Watergate. We didn't know it at the time. The top four prosecutors
00:42:39.440
took their records with them home when they left office. And that hid the impropriety. But there is
00:42:47.920
a paper trail. These meetings between Judge Sirica and the special prosecutor, we can account for about
00:42:54.800
10 of them. Now, it wasn't just a chance happening where they talked strategy. They talked about rulings
00:43:02.720
that were going to come before Sirica for decision. And they met secretly in advance to brief him.
00:43:10.320
And they left a paper trail. So the, the issue is not, were there these secret meetings? Was there
00:43:16.560
suppression of evidence? We've got the memos. We can say, well, do they accurately describe it? But,
00:43:22.960
but you can't, nobody. Jeff, Jeff, right back, right back with more analysis with Michael and Jeff,
00:43:30.320
uh, just unbelievable breaking news again on Nixon this time back after the break.
00:43:35.840

All right, back in the war room on Nixon with the great Leahy and Shepard with us. They just gave a
00:45:13.580
great summary of what's going on today with their comments on Nixon. The Democrats' heads popping off,
00:45:19.440
seething, seething in anger. Just watch Joan Meek every morning and watch Steve in the cold opens that
00:45:24.940
they put together. They're just tremendous. And then the Republicans on Nixon backstabbing him.
00:45:31.240
He had no friends there. I mean, you want to talk about the Uniparty. I don't know if it was the
00:45:36.840
Uniparty back then, but just the establishment. Nixon, by the way, won the presidency with 500
00:45:43.860
electoral votes. A stunning win with the American people behind him. A simple Quaker guy. He's a very
00:45:51.260
smart guy. And so I don't know how all this happens. But Michael, why don't you, anything
00:45:57.920
you want to say on Nixon first? He didn't have many friends on the Republican side. He got backstabbed.
00:46:03.200
And then Woodward and Bernstein, you know, I understand they're the greatest journalists that
00:46:08.440
have ever lived. What's the part of them in this story here? Well, let's talk about Woodward and
00:46:14.180
Bernstein. Of course, Woodward knew Mark Felt for a couple of years before when Woodward was briefing
00:46:22.140
the National Security Council on Navy matters. So they'd known each other for a couple of years.
00:46:28.900
After the break-in on June 17, 1972, Woodward got the story for the Washington Post. One of the first
00:46:37.400
things he did, he called up his buddy, Mark Felt, and Felt basically told him what was going on.
00:46:44.660
It was really egregious in how he handled that at that time. Then a couple of months later,
00:46:51.560
Woodward and Bernstein secured the names of the grand jurors in the Watergate grand jury
00:46:57.020
and talked to them. That's illegal to do, but they did it and got away with it.
00:47:01.820
Oh, they lied about it. They claimed their source, and if you read their book,
00:47:08.700
their inside scoop on the Watergate grand jury, they claimed their source was a secretary with the
00:47:14.680
Nixon campaign. That wasn't true. They misled everybody about this. Nobody knew this,
00:47:19.800
but they talked to a grand juror. Bernstein wrote seven pages in a memo to Bradley,
00:47:25.320
and 40 years later, it was discovered and was only recently reported.
00:47:28.440
Unbelievable. By the way, we're very thankful to you, both of you, for the research here. This is
00:47:36.240
not easy, folks. You just don't go Google this stuff. This is painstaking research over decades.
00:47:41.760
Jeff, Elliot Richardson, I hear there's a sub-story there. Why don't you give us that one?
00:47:47.840
Well, there certainly is. You talk about backstabbing. When Nixon brought in a new crew to clean house
00:47:54.480
after Watergate, he asked Elliot Richardson to be attorney general because he wasn't involved at
00:47:59.740
all. But Elliot had designs of running for president someday and certainly didn't want to get involved
00:48:06.240
in Watergate. So he merrily gave away, during his confirmation, gave away any oversight for the
00:48:13.960
Watergate investigations and prosecutions, and gave it over to one of the most prominent Democrats,
00:48:21.160
to Archibald Cox, and the creation, just like what happened with Trump, brand new people,
00:48:27.700
unconfirmed by the Senate, the hiring of a special set of dedicated anti-Nixon people.
00:48:36.400
The Watergate Special Prosecution Force ultimately totaled 156 employees, specially hired,
00:48:44.820
having nothing to do with statutorily established organization or Senate-confirmed leadership.
00:48:51.860
I mean, it was just astonishing, all because Elliot Richardson didn't want to be involved.
00:48:58.120
Unbelievable. Hey, Michael, close us out in one minute. Give us the connections to today. John
00:49:04.620
Solomon had some great reporting as well of what happened that drove Nixon from office. Today seems like
00:49:12.360
a misdemeanor. It's not even clear in your story here how complicit Nixon was in anything. And yet
00:49:19.900
we have major conspiracies of treason involving several current presidents and the receipts to
00:49:25.460
match. So sum it up in 30 seconds to a minute and link people to your documentary. And thanks for
00:49:32.400
All three branches of the government worked to undermine and take down Nixon, executive,
00:49:38.860
judiciary, and legislative. And the media did it as well. And you can see all this in our documentary

All right, Michael Lindell. He's been fighting for our country. Please support Mike. He came to
00:52:09.940
Liberty University a couple of years ago. I got my Liberty University shirt on. I'm going around
00:52:13.940
the country, uh, giving talks, but Mike did a, uh, about a 10,000 pillow delivery to Liberty
00:52:19.980
University. I think he wanted to have the biggest pillow drop, but there were some lawyers involved
00:52:25.100
in that. But, uh, Mike, thank you for all your work. I had a last, uh, last 10 second blurb.
00:52:31.920
Yeah. Thanks. Thanks. Yes. And it was amazing at Liberty. We had to give away all the pillows
00:52:36.940
and all before this election stuff. I used to just go out and evangelize and tell everybody,
00:52:42.380
Hey, you were in the greatest revival for Jesus Christ in history. But right now, everybody,
00:52:47.400
you can, uh, um, you know, I'm just so grateful to the war room posse for supporting my pillow.
00:52:52.880
