Last night on Truth Social, Trump ramped up the pressure on Ukraine, writing that Zelensky
00:00:05.180
can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
00:00:12.080
Trump also suggested that Ukraine should not retake the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea,
00:00:17.560
nor should it join NATO. Zelensky responded to that in a social media post of his own,
00:00:22.460
writing in part, quote, peace must be lasting, not like it was years ago when Ukraine was forced
00:00:28.180
to give up Crimea and part of our east, part of Donbass, and Putin simply used it as a springboard
00:00:34.560
for a new attack, or when Ukraine was given so-called security guarantees in 1994, but they
00:00:41.740
didn't work. Now, several European and NATO leaders are expected to attend today's meeting in Washington,
00:00:47.280
as we said. They include the president of the European Commission, the chancellor of Germany,
00:00:52.520
the prime ministers of the United Kingdom and of Italy, the presidents of France and of Finland,
00:00:57.140
and the NATO Secretary General, Joseph. I mean, this is, I've not seen in all the years that I have
00:01:04.460
covered American politics, I have not seen a delegation like this from Europe, not even at
00:01:10.720
the outbreak of the Iraq war, come to Washington, come to the White House to make Europe's case
00:01:17.200
for peace and security. One way to think about what's happening today and in the succeeding days
00:01:22.820
is this war has been about whether Ukraine can become a Western country. That's been the aspiration
00:01:29.740
of the Ukrainian people, and it was intolerable to Putin and to Russia, and Russia really fought a war to
00:01:35.780
prevent Ukraine from becoming European. If the United States today, by offering security guarantees to
00:01:43.660
whatever part of Ukraine merges from the war intact, so that that country can be, as South Korea became,
00:01:53.300
as West Germany became, a part of the West with our guarantees of security behind them,
00:02:00.640
then that's an outcome that's going to make for a more prosperous Ukraine. In the long run,
00:02:04.800
I can't imagine that the rest of Ukraine won't move as East Germany moved with West Germany.
00:02:10.000
That's down the road. But the key thing is whether the United States really will stand behind Ukraine's
00:02:16.240
sovereignty against Putin. If that happens today, then I think there's some reason for optimism.
00:02:22.180
If it doesn't, it's a cave-in to Putin's power.
00:02:25.140
Well, first of all, the Russians are already facing very severe consequences. There's not a single
00:02:29.240
sanction that's been lifted, and not one. I mean, they're facing all the same sanctions that have
00:02:33.560
been in place today. All the American support continues for Ukraine. And ultimately, look, if we're not
00:02:39.340
going to be able to reach an agreement here at any point, then there are going to be consequences.
00:02:42.940
Not only the consequences of the war continuing, but the consequences of all those sanctions
00:02:47.000
continuing and potentially new sanctions on top of it as well. But what we're trying to do right now
00:02:51.560
is end the war. And in order to end the war, you've got to give every opportunity that exists.
00:02:56.520
You have to be open to any opportunity that exists to bring it about. And here's the thing to remind
00:03:01.360
everybody. And when the president says this is not our war, but let's be frank, this is not our war.
00:03:05.640
The United States is not in a war. Ukraine is in a war, and we've been supporting Ukraine.
00:03:10.540
We happen to be in the role of the only country in the world, we're the only leader in the world
00:03:14.540
that can actually bring Putin to a table to even discuss these things. Now, the president has traveled
00:03:19.860
all the way to Alaska, all the way back, has dedicated months and months of work, him,
00:03:24.240
our entire team on this matter, because we want to see an end to the war. But if tomorrow the war
00:03:29.580
continues, life in America will not be fundamentally altered. So I think that what we have to understand is
00:03:35.120
that this has been a priority for this president because he wants to promote peace. He wants to
00:03:39.340
promote the end of a war. And I think we should be happy that we have a president that's trying
00:03:43.480
to promote peace and bring a war to an end. How much do you think Ukraine will be willing to give
00:03:48.640
up if, in fact, they get a rock-solid security guarantee where the European countries and Donald
00:03:56.580
Trump say, we're going to be in Ukraine. The U.S. is going to be supporting us. We're all going to be
00:04:04.020
rebuilding your country. And we're going to tell Vladimir Putin in no uncertain terms that an attack
00:04:11.920
against Ukraine is attack against the United States and Great Britain and France and Germany
00:04:19.240
and Italy and the EU. At that point, when he gets that rock-solid assurance, if he gets that rock-solid
00:04:28.640
assurance, at that point, do you think the land deal can be made?
00:04:35.340
So, Joe, he has to be able to sell this to the Ukrainian people. And they have suffered in this
00:04:42.040
war so much. Just think about bombardment every night, every night, spending much of that night awake,
00:04:48.880
which has been the case for much of this year for Ukrainians in Kiev and elsewhere. You have to sell
00:04:54.700
it to this war-weary people and say, we got something. We're giving up this land. It's a dagger
00:05:02.340
in our heart. But what we got was security, our ability to be a free European country.
00:05:07.800
So, I think it depends in how this is phrased. If the appearance at the end of today is of the
00:05:15.660
Western countries, the United States and Europe, marching together with Ukraine, even as it makes
00:05:21.740
this terrible concession of land, that may be something that Zelensky can take home. And the
00:05:27.280
Ukrainians would say it was worth the sacrifices we made. So, President Trump called this an extremely
00:05:32.540
productive meeting and said many points were agreed to. You were in the room. Can you give us
00:05:41.800
We agreed, Jake. First of all, thank you for having me and good morning.
00:05:46.200
We agreed to robust security guarantees that I would describe as game-changing. We didn't think
00:05:54.260
that we were anywhere close to agreeing to Article V protection from the United States in legislative
00:06:02.560
enshrinement within the Russian Federation, not to go after any other territory when the peace deal
00:06:10.280
is, you know, codified legislative enshrinement in the Russian Federation, not to go after any other
00:06:18.600
European countries and violate their sovereignty. So, we agreed to, and there was plenty more.
00:06:25.640
American security guarantees are the holy grail in all this. And I say this having served as ambassador
00:06:32.840
in Poland, which literally was in the crosshairs of Putin, because it was delivering the weapons to
00:06:39.480
the Ukrainians, the Ukrainians that were using to defend themselves against Russia. And the security
00:06:45.240
guarantee, the Article V commitment here in Poland worked. Without that Article V guarantee, I can only
00:06:53.160
imagine what Poland and the Baltic states and Romania would have faced. So, Article V, the fact that
00:06:59.800
Witkoff and Rubio, negotiator Witkoff and Secretary Rubio are talking about it, is truly the crux of a deal
00:07:09.080
that the Ukrainians could buy into. And a security guarantee would have to keep the peace on both sides.
00:07:15.400
This has been a terribly bloody war, with casualties massive on both sides. And years, over the next few
00:07:23.480
years, there will be feelings of retribution and passion for retribution on both sides.
00:07:29.480
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has historical dimensions that, if President Trump can broker
00:07:37.000
a ceasefire very soon, would be worthy of celebration, because it is so historically rooted
00:07:45.720
and so recently bloody. And to put something in place that stops that would be worthy of accolades.
00:07:59.560
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:08:04.520
Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a
00:08:09.720
belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to
00:08:13.640
stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:08:16.040
And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:08:25.720
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:08:39.880
It's Monday, 18 August, year of our Lord, 2025. We are set and getting ready for a historic day
00:08:52.440
at the White House as Zelensky arrives for his, I think his first meeting since the blow up six
00:09:00.440
months or so, plus the chaperones. He's got chaperones. But right there, you saw it in all its glory.
00:09:06.920
And of course, you heard it on War Room first on Friday morning, even before the planes landed in
00:09:13.160
Alaska. This will all come down to two things. American security guarantees and American commitment,
00:09:21.000
massive amount of money for redevelopment. I am lost and maybe Whitcoff and Rubio
00:09:28.760
I'll explain it today. I'm just lost how a game, how us, how the United States offering
00:09:34.840
an article five commitment for, for a security guarantee to Ukraine is a win for the United States.
00:09:45.960
I mean, the, this war started because of the globalists at the EU, the European Union and
00:09:53.080
NATO forcing the hand of the Russians over years and years and years about Ukraine's
00:10:03.160
joining the EU and joining NATO. And with these two, what they're talking about, I mean,
00:10:08.120
the reality of it, let's not, let's take away the rhetoric and the cotton, uh, back and forth is,
00:10:14.360
um, is joining the EU because the economic integration of American capital under the Larry
00:10:21.080
Fink's of the world, who, by the way, took over the world economic forum, as we reported over the
00:10:25.720
weekend, Larry Fink's now in charge of the world economic forum, the party of Davos
00:10:30.600
officially. Klaus Schwab is out and won't be charged with any crimes.
00:10:35.640
And then the article five and, and, and they, and they dare David Ignatius dares to make a,
00:10:42.360
an analogy to Germany and South Korea. I think we have 25,000 combat troops in South Korea. And I think
00:10:48.680
we have, I don't know, 30 to 35,000 still in Germany after that was after the most destructive
00:10:55.400
war in mankind's history of which, uh, we didn't want to have, have it happen again. So we stopped.
00:11:01.160
I mean, there's no analogy at all with Ukraine. The, the, um, the very first David Ignatius or
00:11:08.600
as Ben Harnwell, who will join me momentarily from Rome. I've also got Dave Brat here this morning.
00:11:13.400
We'll get Brian Glenn and, uh, Jack Posobiec from the white house later. Um,
00:11:19.560
you know, he said, this is all about the, the point of this.
00:11:23.320
And by the way, my team, my crack team on the cold open and the guys in Denver, just extraordinary.
00:11:28.760
That explained it all to you. You didn't need to watch any of the shows. You didn't need to do
00:11:31.720
anything. Just watch that seven or eight minutes right there. You got it all, baby. All the important
00:11:36.360
stuff curated. He said, the whole purpose of this war was whether Ukraine becomes a Western country
00:11:43.560
or not. Well, that's fine. And that's the Ukrainians fight in the Europeans fight in Germany's
00:11:49.240
fight and Italy's fight and all these big talkers. Maloney's got the gall to get on a plane and come
00:11:53.960
over here where she hasn't even made a serious attempt at getting to even 2% on their defense
00:12:01.160
spending. And all those countries are still allowing, uh, you know, mass migration, mass
00:12:08.920
invasion. I might add from, from, uh, from a Muslim countries and are collapsing. And we have a British
00:12:15.800
officer over the weekend, give an interview where he says what I've been saying for years,
00:12:19.720
that if there's not, if the political class, and this includes Nigel Farage and the team over
00:12:25.400
reform, don't confront the mass immigration from, uh, for invasion of, of radical Islamists in this
00:12:34.600
merger of, um, Marxism, neo-Marxism, the hard left with radical Islamists, there's going to be a civil
00:12:40.840
war in England, his words, basically copying mind. I've been saying for years and years and years,
00:12:47.080
those are the issues. If the Europe, if it's, if the war's about it becoming a Western nation
00:12:52.680
and a European nation, then fine. Let, let, if that's what a million Ukrainians gave up their lives
00:12:59.240
for in their, in their destruction of the country and, and have any wounded the casualties, that's fine.
00:13:06.040
That's for the, that's for the guys in Brussels to figure out they should do the redevelopment
00:13:12.920
and they should provide the article five. They haven't even come close to defending themselves.
00:13:19.240
America pulled in to the bloodlines on an article five. That's a tripwire for a war.
00:13:25.400
And I don't know if we got the, the segment in there. Uh, I'll, I'll get it. I don't know if I heard that about the,
00:13:33.320
the vengeance factor of the Ukrainians. As I said, the other day, I said on Saturday,
00:13:39.480
this is worse than Northern Ireland. This is worse than the West Bank. There you had, yes, you had horrible
00:13:46.760
things happen to individuals and tough things happen and, and people killed and tore in over many decades,
00:13:52.520
actually thousands of years, let's say here. You've had outright brutality on both sides
00:13:59.720
and particularly the Russians, they play smash mode. That's how their army rolls.
00:14:04.680
And there's a ton of Ukrainians as human nature says they should that want vengeance. And now you're
00:14:12.120
going to put the United States in the middle of this. It's very simple. Tell the chaperones,
00:14:18.280
it's your baby. Tell the, tell Zelensky, Hey, this is your issue. Deal with it.
00:14:25.480
You guys initiated this. You push the Russians and the Russians punch back and Hey, they're not guiltless.
00:14:31.640
The KGB that runs them are bad on brace, very bad on brace.
00:14:44.440
They even a talk about a commitment like in Germany and South Korea, which were still there
00:14:49.640
80 years later, short break back in the warm in a moment.
00:14:53.400
This July, there's a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers,
00:15:07.000
including China, Russia, India, and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United
00:15:13.080
States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset. As BRICS nations push
00:15:20.040
forward with their plans, global demand for us dollars will decrease, bringing down the value
00:15:24.680
of the dollar and your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust
00:15:31.000
me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives
00:15:37.880
move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

Ben Harnwell. It is incumbent upon the war room posse, given that you've changed the direction of
00:18:16.360
history many times, and right now you're engaged in political combat on the redistricting to make sure
00:18:21.960
that we continue the Trump revolution and the Trump movement because of demographic shifts
00:18:29.320
in the United States and within states. We're going to have a 10-30 report from Texas, and you see
00:18:35.560
feckless, hapless leaders that are kind of the same type of feckless, hapless leaders England's had,
00:18:42.680
which don't know how to act and act decisively. But they'll talk a lot, a lot of talk coming out of
00:18:47.880
Texas, a lot of talk, not a lot of action. The only action is at the tip of the bayonet as you
00:18:53.480
nudge them along, which we're going to have to do because now we want nine seats in Texas. We don't
00:18:57.400
have five. We want nine. We ain't going to settle for seven. We're not going to settle for five. We want
00:19:01.960
all nine. Maximalist position today in the great state of Texas. You want to play smash mouth with
00:19:08.600
Newsom and the governor of California? Let's do it. Ben Harnwell. Now is in the land of the blind,
00:19:15.560
the one-eyed man is king. We need to look at the situation in Ukraine through your beady eyes
00:19:21.000
of exactly what's going on. Was I off base at all on exactly why the chaperones are coming over
00:19:28.280
today? Because they see the chance for a big win to get them off the hook of what they caused and
00:19:34.840
what they're not prepared to go back to their people and say, hey, we got to step up here because
00:19:39.440
the people are turf them out of office, sir. Good morning, Steve. No, of course you weren't off base.
00:19:45.120
You were absolutely on point. And that's really, I think, what I'm going to be the theme of what I'm
00:19:49.600
going to be saying today. You started off in your intro paying tribute to the war room posse and the
00:19:55.280
power of this audience. And I'm going to do exactly the same right now on something specific, because
00:20:00.240
it was really the power of the war room audience that stopped the decrepit Biden regime from being able
00:20:07.600
to get away with this security guarantees hoax. A year ago, we were the only show on air pushing
00:20:16.320
this point day after day after day after the globalists tried their very subtle pivot from
00:20:22.960
not talking about NATO membership. And they started to talk about security guarantees. There was no press
00:20:29.520
release. There was no grand statement to say they're going to be changing their international
00:20:33.600
position on this. They pushed it out subtly and slightly. Fortunately, however, everybody involved
00:20:40.320
in this show has more or less be decynicalised, including everyone at the International Bureau.
00:20:46.320
And we followed this rigorously. And I think we moved the needle on this. And they gave up on that pitch
00:20:53.600
until now. It's resurrected like Frankenstein or something from a from a B list horror movie. Steve,
00:21:03.360
forgive me for saying this, but security guarantees is the same shit sandwich a year ago as it is today.
00:21:10.880
The war room audience, American taxpaying public deserves a Chateaubriand steak. That is why they elected
00:21:18.000
Donald J. Trump. But that's what they want. And they've gone into the diner. And then the
00:21:23.440
the plastic vinyl tablecloth has been taken away. People are admiring the pressed ironed
00:21:29.760
starch tablecloth. You don't go up to the bar. The waiter comes all dressed up and removes the
00:21:36.560
silver dome dish. And you're looking there and you're thinking, wait a minute, wait a minute,
00:21:40.160
that's not my Chateaubriand steak I ordered. You just pick it up and think, yep, yep, it's the same
00:21:46.160
shit sandwich that they tried to serve up a year ago. The point here, Steve, about these security
00:21:52.320
guarantees, which, by the way, are not the same as Article 5 assurances. Article 5 of NATO commits
00:22:00.880
you to absolutely nothing. All you are obliged to do is take whatever steps you deem necessary
00:22:07.600
if a NATO ally is invaded. And you can say, we are monitoring the situation. And that fulfills
00:22:15.040
your NATO 5 obligations. Security guarantees are far, and this is a point only the war room has been
00:22:22.080
making, right? Security guarantees are far more weighing on the US administration and its taxpaying
00:22:30.960
public because they bind you into doing something. They are guarantees. A better analogy of a security
00:22:36.560
guarantee is what the UK provided for Poland in the Second World War. We said to the Germans,
00:22:42.880
if you invade Poland, Germany and Britain would be at a state of war. Germany invaded Poland,
00:22:49.520
and therefore, on the next day, we declared war against Germany. That is a guarantee. That binds
00:22:54.960
you into doing something. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Both World War I and World War II.
00:23:01.280
World War I was, Scott, when the Germans came across the low countries, they had security guarantees.
00:23:05.520
The thing was in Belgium. That triggers it then. They had security guarantees with all these,
00:23:09.440
you know, all in, you know, between Austria-Hungary Empire and the Russians. You have these security
00:23:15.200
guarantees. These are tripwires. This is where things go from regional conflicts to world wars.
00:23:20.480
That's what happened in World War II in Poland. The British woke up and they said, oh my, you know,
00:23:24.960
hey, we've got this guarantee in Poland. The Germans went in, Hitler went in, and this thing went from a
00:23:31.520
from a European war to, or from a local expansion of Germany to a European war, and then it went from
00:23:38.000
a European war to a global war when the Japanese attacked us. And why did that, why did Germany
00:23:45.520
then announce a war against the United States, declared war on us? We didn't declare war on them.
00:23:50.880
Guess, wait for it, a security guarantee. A deal with the, between the Germans and the Japanese,
00:23:56.240
and then all of a sudden you had World War II. Security guarantees, and they're making the
00:24:00.800
analogy now, this is like Germany or like South Korea. Well, I think South Korea, we still got 25,000
00:24:06.960
combat troops, and Germany, I think, still have 30 or 35,000, right? I mean, these are massive
00:24:13.200
commitments of American troops. This is what they're, they're going for our money on the redevelopment.
00:24:18.800
They're also going for much more long-term commitment on arms and refinancing that Zelensky
00:24:24.080
mess of that government. But now they actually want our active engagement in securing this. And
00:24:29.600
they're not stepping up. They're saying, yeah, you know, Zelensky's saying, yeah, we get the Americans,
00:24:33.840
and then some other guys, the chaperones will come in and kick in what they will, because you can't
00:24:37.680
trust them. The European elite are untrustworthy. They weren't with us in World War II. They were not.
00:24:43.600
We have to understand history here. The Russian peasants, the Russian people, the Russian serfs,
00:24:49.760
okay? They're the ones that broke the Wehrmacht, right? With, I don't know, 25 or 30 million
00:24:55.360
casualties, okay? They broke them the old-fashioned way. Those were our allies, the elites, except for
00:25:01.440
the British, you Brits. And let's be blunt, that was about saving the empire, everything from what
00:25:07.360
happened, you know, Asia, all the way to North Africa. So, no, this is, once you go down this path,
00:25:16.080
and hopefully President Trump's presenting this as, I've offered you guys this, and you still can't
00:25:20.960
get to a deal, because Zelensky wants more. They always want more. I think it's an insult to the
00:25:26.480
President of the United States and the American people that the chaperones immediately after
00:25:32.000
President Trump's done everything he possibly can do, he's got the weight of the world on his
00:25:36.320
shoulders, he just wants to stop the killing, that the chaperones feel they're entitled to get on a
00:25:41.520
plane and kind of come over here to have this, to have this, to have, you know, to chaperone
00:25:46.960
Zelensky, and to force a bigger and broader deal. Am I off on that, or the chaperones are here for a
00:25:52.800
reason? And the reason is not to help America or help the America First movement, sir.
00:25:58.920
A thousand percent, Steve. Look, I have never seen in my lifetime, I don't think it's ever happened
00:26:03.400
before, that a guest of the White House invited over, a head of state invited over,
00:26:08.680
unilaterally decides for himself he's going to bring along all of his mates into a bilateral
00:26:15.320
with POTUS. Never seen that before. It is a massive slap in the face, a thousand percent.
00:26:20.300
Look, I know we're heading to a break, let me just make this point about the unreliability of your
00:26:24.740
so-called European allies. That is a thousand percent on point. One example, who do you have going over
00:26:31.140
today? In the gaggle of hacks and second-raters, phony Maloney herself. If she really thought that
00:26:40.600
Russia represented a threat to the interests of Western continental Europe, that she wouldn't be
00:26:48.140
spending the equivalent of $16 billion on building a bridge between Sicily and the Italian peninsula.
00:26:54.900
She'd be putting that money into tanks, right? But she's not doing. Why? Because she knows it's a
00:27:01.460
hoax. It is a hoax. And by the way, what I would gently encourage the President, President Trump,
00:27:07.220
to focus on is precisely this point about the Europeans and their so-called five percent
00:27:13.300
spending commitment. This $16 billion bridge between Sicily and the Italian peninsula, they're going to
00:27:19.680
mark that off. They're saying this is now an element of national security for Italy. They're
00:27:24.840
going to count this off against their five percent. That shows you, in a brief illustration, Steve,
00:27:33.100
the nature of the people that you are dealing with that are coming over to Chaperone Zelensky.
00:27:38.880
Yeah. Hang on one second. The Chaperone, so we're going to get on to it. Dave Brad is with us.
00:27:43.980
We're also going to go to Texas. I want to thank Jim Rickards. In the middle of the night, on Saturday,
00:27:49.280

According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the next few
00:28:31.960
years. It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers. We talk
00:28:37.440
about that all the time here in the war room. And we have a fragile power grid. It just cannot keep
00:28:42.940
up with that demand. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power,
00:28:47.800
even for a day. That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my patron supply. It's a powerful solar

00:29:42.780
Okay, we're going to go to Texas in a moment, but I want to set the stage here for the War on
00:29:46.760
Posse because it's all about you. You are one of the most powerful political instruments in the
00:29:52.920
history of this country. Always remember that. It's the reason we do this show and we spend so much time
00:29:59.100
to make sure you get the right information. Because the American people have the right information
00:30:03.220
in their righteous indignation, they will do the right thing and then the country will do the
00:30:09.620
right thing. It's pretty, you know, it's a, it's pattern recognition of American history.
00:30:15.100
Ben, you told me as a month or so ago, uh, in the middle, all kinds of different things
00:30:18.940
happening. You said, Hey, I want you to understand when, cause Ben, you, you're very selective
00:30:23.160
about putting stuff up on getter to, and you've got a huge following, but you're very particular
00:30:29.520
about doing it. And you said, Hey, I'm telling you, man, uh, the thing that gets people's blood
00:30:34.200
boiling more than anything is this Ukraine situation. And this is a time, you know, in the
00:30:38.540
ebb and flow of what's happening, Ukraine wasn't on the top of mine at the time. You're seeing it
00:30:43.880
again. And this is why the American people and the Patriot movement understands exactly what's at
00:30:51.700
Steve, I remember that conversation. Um, and the reason I'm able to make those analyses is because
00:30:56.540
since I've been on getter for nearly four years now, I have read every single comment that's ever
00:31:02.140
been posted to anything I've posted on there. So I have a good feeling of what the sentiment is.
00:31:06.660
I remember that conversation with you. It was, I think at the time of, um, of when, uh, president
00:31:13.260
Trump bombed Iran. And I said, look, there's a difference here between the, in MAGA with the
00:31:20.560
America first movement with regards to Israel. I admit, I mean, like I have the same
00:31:26.440
view to Israel as I have to Ukraine, but I don't need to go into that. And this point,
00:31:29.780
I recognize that there's a half of MAGA splits down the middle on supporting Israel with regards
00:31:37.080
to Ukraine. It is 100% against supporting Zelensky and his regime. That is why I'm somewhat mystified
00:31:44.940
that president Trump is investing himself and his credibility and his authority to this degree.
00:31:52.280
What I would like to see, Steve, and I'll hand back over to you on this point, is something that you
00:31:57.320
first asked three years ago of decrepit President Magoo. When is he going to come to Congress and outline
00:32:08.620
what America's interests are in Ukraine? That argument was never made. So before Steve Witkoff or anybody
00:32:16.380
else in the administration starts calling these security guarantees, what was that expression
00:32:22.320
used, like a concession that they won in negotiation, can someone please explain to the American public
00:32:29.340
what the American interests are that these security guarantees are supposed to defend and protect?
00:32:37.240
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Hang on for a second. We're going to get to all that. You're right. What's the,
00:32:42.520
the, the, we say that's a big win, a game changing win, but that's gotta be explained. Please explain that.
00:32:49.080
We want to be supportive. Remember we're supportive of this, but here's the situation is that these
00:32:53.880
Europeans can't be trusted in the mainstream media is pushing you to do this. All the, all the corporate
00:32:58.760
interests, all the warm and the arms manufacturers, big tech, they all want this. You know why their kids
00:33:05.960
are not going to be, when you, when you, um, hear security guarantee, you know what you do? You look
00:33:12.920
at the table of your sons and daughters, you look at those grandchildren, that's a security guarantee.
00:33:18.120
What's the security guarantee in Korea? Combat troops. What's security guarantee in Germany? Combat
00:33:22.760
troops. They want your blood and they want your treasure, yours. Are you at the table? They want yours.
00:33:29.720
Somewhere else. So the posse has made a huge difference and it's a top priority is this entire
00:33:35.160
situation of getting the house of representatives properly structured to reflect the demographic
00:33:40.760
reality of the United States mid decade after a atrocious, um, census was done by the commerce
00:33:49.240
department, which they admit and NASA massive demographic changes after the pandemic. And quite frankly,
00:33:53.880
people looking for more freedom and red States also within States. Brian Harrison joins us now from
00:33:59.000
Texas. Uh, what here's, what's got me more upset than anything. Uh, Gavin Newsom play smash mouth.
00:34:05.880
This brother's putting forward a plan to quick March. I think in less than 90 days, a take going to the,
00:34:14.200
the biggest state we got the seventh largest economy in the world, a 52 seat, 52 seats, people, uh, in,
00:34:21.880
in the house of represent in Congress, 52 seats, which I think we have nine right now. And the state
00:34:28.120
breaks down probably 55 45, right on votes, 55 45, or let's say something with a four handle in front
00:34:35.720
of it. They're going to take it down to four. That is smash mouth. And they've got to get,
00:34:40.120
they got so many hurdles. They got to go, but they're rolling and they're up in your face about
00:34:44.120
what they're going to do and how they're going to do it in Texas. It's all performance art by the
00:34:49.800
leadership. If it was not for the grassroots, the grassroots leaders, the MAGA movement,
00:34:54.360
Brian Harrison, and one or two others, this thing, first of all, they would have never come
00:34:59.000
forward to five. Brian, please tell me today we're getting a big nine. It's the Texas nine.
00:35:04.280
Is it not? We get nine seats down there, sir. Well, we, uh, look, we, we sure as hell got need
00:35:10.360
to get more than five. I mean, you hit the nail on the head. The Democrats all across the country,
00:35:16.680
Pritzker in Illinois, Gavin Newsom in California, Democrats coast to coast play hardball.
00:35:23.640
Texas Republicans aren't even playing beanbag. And I mean, what's the point of election integrity
00:35:29.480
if Republicans, once they get elected, just turn around and give the Democrats all their power.
00:35:34.600
And that's what's been happening in the great state of Texas for year after year,
00:35:40.360
after year, voters go to the ballot box, do their job, elect Republicans. And then these voters
00:35:46.520
do the bidding of the liberal Democrats and act like they're half helpless to stop it. The reality
00:35:52.120
is they're complicit with the Democrats. So to catch folks up on what's going on,
00:35:56.120
I'm pulled over. Sorry. Can't be with you on video pulled over on the side of I-35 driving
00:36:00.520
to the Capitol for the special session. Number two, because for folks keeping track at home,
00:36:05.880
the Texas Republican leadership allowed the Democrats allowed the Democrats assisted the Democrats
00:36:11.880
to completely derail 100% of the first special session. We passed nothing, no redistricting,
00:36:18.200
no property taxes, nothing. Okay. And no punishment for the Democrats. So we're coming back now.
00:36:23.160
Uh, first day of special session. Number two was last Friday. Democrats did not show up.
00:36:27.880
The expectation is the Democrats will come back today, but here's the reality. Democrats are coming
00:36:34.600
back on their terms. Democrats are coming back on their timeline. After the Democrats have had
00:36:41.960
their success of spending two or three weeks galvanizing the country in opposition to our, uh,
00:36:48.600
much needed redistricting effort. They've raised money. They've raised awareness. They've got blue
00:36:52.840
states now, California going to redistrict their maps. And what have we done in Texas?
00:36:57.800
I expect we're going to have some bad performance theater of some fake punishments. We'll get
00:37:02.520
meted out on these Democrats punishments that by the way, will have been negotiated with the Democrats.
00:37:07.160
That won't really hurt them. Here's what we need to do. Play hard ball. Gavin Newsom said fight
00:37:12.600
fire with fire. I mean, move past the irony that he's probably the biggest arsonist in the country
00:37:16.920
when it comes to redistricting, hit the Democrats where it hurts. Don't redraw the map and just get
00:37:22.120
five Republican seats. We need at least seven, one for every week. They were gone. So at least
00:37:27.080
seven, but the governor was even copying Steve, the posse, your rhetoric, my rhetoric for the last
00:37:32.120
week saying, Oh, well, we may be able to get nine or 10. Well, then we need to do that. Anything. And
00:37:36.760
here's the, the, the, the bad, we're off to a bad start here because the Texas house and the Texas
00:37:41.560
Senate on Friday, day one of special session, number two, they refiled their maps, but they only still
00:37:49.960
had just five Republican seats. So as far as I'm concerned, if we're passing a map and it's only
00:37:55.640
got five seats on it, that's the equivalent of raving, raising the white flag of surrender and
00:38:01.320
saying to Gavin Newsom, okay, you and the Democrats are going to beat us again. And we're just fine with
00:38:05.560
it. But that's not what the Texas, that's not what the voters of Texas want. They, they deserve better
00:38:09.960
than this. So I, the board and posse, they're, they're ready to call where you got the number
00:38:16.200
up there on the screen and Grace and Mo put it out in all the chats. Um, we, we, we, we need nine. We
00:38:23.800
need to go maximalist here. Let's look, okay. Let's just put all the, look for the uninitiated,
00:38:29.480
the people that don't pay attention, the low information voters are great. Your neighbors,
00:38:33.960
they're fantastic. They're your friends, your neighbors, but in politics, it takes a vanguard of
00:38:39.560
fighters and they got them too. They got them too. So now it's between the two vanguards. Okay.
00:38:45.800
So let's just be blunt. We want nine. We want, we want maximalist positions in every state,
00:38:50.840
in Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Florida. If you, if, if Abbott says he can get nine or 10,
00:38:57.540
we want nine or 10 and, and let the Democrats deal with it because Newsom is coming for 48 out of 52.
00:39:04.760
I want you to absorb. You have not one Republican in all of new England, not one. I think you have
00:39:11.160
a 25 seat delegation, not one. I think you aggregate up new England. It's something high
00:39:16.280
thirties, low forties. It ain't zero. It's zero right now. And California, which is the seventh
00:39:22.360
biggest or fifth biggest economy in the world. They're about to take total representation away
00:39:27.000
from everybody. That's how they roll. And I have no problem with that. That's how they roll,
00:39:31.560
but we got to roll the same way. We got to get nine and we got to light a fire under Abbott.
00:39:36.360
He is so weak and feckless and hapless that if you don't put that, you don't nudge him along with
00:39:41.960
the tip of the band net in the back, he won't do anything. He'll go on Fox and bluster. And then
00:39:46.680
nothing have just like on the border, all this crap on the border that was happening. Abbott sat
00:39:50.840
there. I'll send the national guard, but although there's be a concierge service, Harrison, how do we
00:39:55.880
do this brother? Yeah, no. So amen. And listen, Steve, here's how the, just to put a fine point
00:40:03.320
on this, the difference between the Democrats and Democrat States and their leadership versus
00:40:08.200
Republicans in the state of Texas, Massachusetts, a Democrat state with a Democrat governor,
00:40:13.080
they don't have even one single congressional map that goes to Republicans. And they're talking
00:40:18.680
about doing even more redistricting when they've already gerrymandered every Republican seat out of the
00:40:23.720
state. But in Texas, let me make this super simple for everybody. If you haven't been following
00:40:28.600
along for the past couple of weeks, ignore the theater. Let's cut through the BS and slice through
00:40:34.520
the spin. I'm going to make this as simple as I can. If the governor, Lieutenant governor and speaker
00:40:41.560
of the Texas government want more than five Republican seats, if they want seven, eight, nine,
00:40:48.360
we will have seven, eight, nine seats. If we do not get seven more Republican seats, eight more
00:40:55.480
Republican seats or nine more Republican seats, I'll tell you why. And it's for one reason,
00:40:59.160
the governor, Lieutenant governor and speaker of the state of Texas did not want it to happen.
00:41:05.880
Those three have enough power under the constitution, our rules and our statutes, they can get it done.
00:41:11.640
They're cowards. They're cowards. One thing he's saying, by the way, I understand this audience can't
00:41:15.600
stand the sight of Gavin Newsom. I got that. But one thing you can't say about that brother is he's,
00:41:19.760
he's not a coward. He's up in our grill and he's going to, he's got a very tough march to make this
00:41:25.080
happen. They got some structural hurdles. He's all in. And he's, he's telling Trump, I'm doing this to
00:41:30.960
impeach you. He's not shy about why he's doing it. He's saying, I'm doing it to impeach you.
00:41:36.720
So all the, all the masks are off everywhere. If this doesn't happen, if we don't get nine in Texas,
00:41:42.320
this is because of gutless cowards at the head of the Texas government. And the grassroots has
00:41:48.080
got a belly full of this. Now you did this on, on, you did this on the invasion. It took Trump
00:41:52.940
winning again for the third time to make things right down there. You had every opportunity to
00:41:58.280
defend your own state border. You refuse to do it time and time again. And now you're doing the same
00:42:02.960
thing. This audience is not going to accept performance art, but Brian, I know you got to
00:42:07.400
bounce to get back on the road. Where do folks get you in that Twitter feed that they all hate?
00:42:13.600
The most hated Twitter feed in the Capitol. Uh, do your civic service, piss off a rhino today.
00:42:19.760
Go to my ex speed at Brian E. Harrison and follow me there at Brian E. Harrison at Brian E. Harrison,
00:42:26.520
blow up the phone lines in the Texas Capitol. Tell them you're sick and tired of Democrats and
00:42:31.400
Democrat States fighting harder for the future of our state and country than elected Republicans.
00:42:36.180
It's time the elected Republicans fight like the future is on the line. You know why? Because it is.
00:42:44.240
Brian Harrison, you're a hero and a patriot. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.
00:42:49.940
We don't want to perform. If you just watch Fox, you watch some things, man, those guys in Texas,
00:42:54.160
that, those, that, that senior leadership, they're tough. They're, they haven't taken a parking spot.
00:42:59.040
They're still going to pay these guys. No fines, nothing. It's got to stop. Be as hard and tough as those
00:43:05.260
Democrats or feel the wrath of the people. Patriot Mobile, Glenn's story. The Glenn, the Patriot Mobile
00:43:13.180
guys on their pack, just extraordinary, amazing, best phone service in the country. Do the switch
00:43:19.880
today. Call 972 Patriot. Talk to an American citizen, probably in East Texas somewhere,
00:43:26.880
at their call centers to make the switch today. Do it. Patriot Mobile. Short break.
00:43:33.000
There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is
00:43:41.920
personal debt. Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still drowning in credit card
00:43:47.980
debt and overdue bills. You need done with debt, and here's why you need it. The credit system is
00:43:54.820
rigged to keep you trapped. Done with debt has unique and, frankly, brilliant escape strategies to help
00:44:01.960
end your debt fast, so you keep more of your hard-earned money. Done with debt doesn't try to sell
00:44:08.980
you a loan, and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy. They're tough negotiators that go
00:44:14.360
one-on-one with your credit card and loan companies with one goal, to drastically reduce your bills and
00:44:19.720
eliminate interest and erase penalties. Most clients end up with more money in their pocket
00:44:25.520
month one, and they don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently.
00:44:33.520
Look, take a couple of minutes and visit donewithdebt.com. Talk with one of their strategists.
00:44:38.860
It's free, but listen up. Some of their solutions are time-sensitive, so you'll need to move quickly.
00:44:45.240
Go to donewithdebt.com. That's donewithdebt.com. Stop the anxiety. Stop the angst. Go to donewithdebt.com
00:45:00.420
Okay, our own Dave Brat. Dave, thanks for sticking around. You see what's happening, and let's get that
00:45:05.880
during this. Let's also get that number up for the governor's office, lieutenant governor's office.
00:45:11.160
We want Texas 9 today when you call up and say, hey, the governor said he could get nine seats down there.
00:45:17.900
We want all nine, full maximalists. They said, well, these guys are maximalists. You damn right we're maximalists.
00:45:24.000
The country's on the line right here. Don't take it from me. Listen to them.
00:45:28.800
Harrison just said in Massachusetts, I think it's 10-0 or 12-0.
00:45:32.540
There's not one Republican in a state that I think has 42 or 43% Republican voters when you aggregate these
00:45:39.600
things up. Not one seat. And she does a press conference that says, it's not gerrymandered enough.
00:45:45.620
We're going to make sure they can never have a Republican.
00:45:51.380
Suck on that. And look what they're going to do. In a state with 52 seats, we've got nine right now.
00:45:59.240
Nothing. They're going to take it down to four. New York, the same way. They're going to do it there.
00:46:03.720
Pritzker, it's 17 seats. We only get, they're only three Republicans.
00:46:16.520
Let's keep that up. We can split, but I want to see Dave Brett's lovely visage.
00:46:20.060
Dave Brett, thank you for hanging out. As an economist, you're both a philosopher and you're
00:46:25.300
a hard numbers economist. Let's put your hard numbers economist on, on this war. The situation
00:46:30.740
dumped. And President Trump, just remember, it's not your war. Every second he let these guys,
00:46:36.760
the chaperones coming over is to make it the biggest global TV event of the year, which it may be,
00:46:42.920
because you've never had these kinds of people show up. It's to try to stick you with the tar baby
00:46:47.260
of Ukraine. Dave Brett, help me out here, brother.
00:46:51.900
Yeah, well, great show. Harnwell on fire. Love all of it. The economics is pretty simple.
00:46:58.940
Xi Jinping in China is laughing his head off at us. Every missile we shoot off is 15 million
00:47:05.640
minimum out of our taxpayers' wallets and a waste in terms of our major geopolitical threat,
00:47:12.280
which is China. And so we got to focus back on that. Number two, even Putin knows. And we don't
00:47:19.880
trust Putin either, like Reagan said. But even Putin knows. He doesn't trust Xi. He trusts Trump and us
00:47:26.700
way more than them. And so rapprochement is in the cards, I hope. Which brings us up to point three.
00:47:34.740
Larry Fink, new head of the W World Economic Forum over Klaus Schwab, who's recommending we clean up
00:47:42.060
things after he uncleaned it. So there's two things you got to focus on the economics here.
00:47:47.720
Who paid all the bills for this war? I'm exaggerating slightly, but the answer is the
00:47:52.500
United States of America and you, you, the base and the taxpayers in the United States. Second,
00:47:58.140
who paid an even greater price for this war? All the war dead. All those boys bleeding over on the
00:48:04.720
fields. It's a million in Ukraine and a million dead and injured in Russia, both, right? And the
00:48:10.680
latest stats seem to show losses in Russia are just a trickle, right? And the single digits are a bit
00:48:17.460
higher deaths per day. They're still taking it to Ukraine, right? Ukraine's recruiting 60-year-olds.
00:48:23.160
No one wants to calculate, right, the price of those dead boys into these calculations. The Europeans,
00:48:29.520
our chaperones are disgusting morally for not mentioning the loss of life. And then at the end
00:48:35.800
of the day, the World Economic Forum and all of our betters are going to go in to make a ton of money
00:48:40.020
on the minerals and agriculture and et cetera in Ukraine. It is morally repugnant. Harnwell started
00:48:47.400
alluding to this. I'm going to get to why they, I think the war room is still scratching their heads
00:48:54.380
on this thing. Trump, President Trump is the commander in chief. He's the CEO. He's the chief
00:48:59.440
magistrate. And so why is this not done, right? Everybody wants to, why is it? I want it to be
00:49:06.020
done. I make people's heads pop off, but I'm going to give you three reasons, right? I'm going to go
00:49:11.400
back to David Hume, who made the great moral distinction between what is and what ought to be.
00:49:17.140
What ought to be is the kingdom of God on earth. What is the case is grotesque. And I'm going to,
00:49:23.340
I'm going to give you three reasons why our chaperones will not let Trump pull us off.
00:49:29.400
Number one reason is that the Europeans and our globalists and our betters all know they caused
00:49:36.320
this, right? We had a coup in 2014. They knocked out a democratically elected president of Ukraine.
00:49:43.100
Putin all the while, way back then said, after we already lied to him about 17 countries getting
00:49:49.240
NATO status, this was the line of the sand. And so now Putin's saying nothing different. No,
00:49:55.280
you're not going to do this. It's not going to be a NATO country. So number one, our European betters
00:50:01.540
know they caused this. Number two, they also know, and I got a few charts on this that'll
00:50:07.540
solidify this point, but they're scared. And so are US senators and the rhinos who were cheerleading
00:50:13.820
and pumping up Zelensky before the last meeting, when he not only slapped Trump in the face,
00:50:19.260
he punched Trump in the face. And so the base is going, what in the world is going on here? Trump's
00:50:24.540
the toughest guy we know of. He's the best fighter, the best negotiator. Why aren't we out of this mess?
00:50:30.360
And then the third, of course, is just the money, right? It's just morally grotesque. Who's going
00:50:36.460
to win? It's just like the 08 financial crisis, which lit the tea party and the grassroots on fire.
00:50:43.480
And you've covered every bit of that. But let me just give you a couple of quick charts just to
00:50:47.980
show you what's at stake here. Number one, the first chart just goes back to 2021. Here's the firepower
00:50:54.000
and the blue is Ukraine, the red's Russia. This is back when Politico and all of our
00:50:59.400
lying mainstream media, all political views are my own, but it's just a fact.
00:51:04.300
Look at that chart. There's Ukraine on the left, there's Russia on the right,
00:51:07.260
and Politico saying they're winning. Ukraine's winning. Now they've lost. There's not a credible
00:51:13.440
strategic analyst I know of that'll say they're winning. Second chart is even better.
00:51:18.100
Hold on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Slow down. Slow down,
00:51:25.180
professor. The kids in the back row, that would be me. I was a back row guy. Hang over a second.
00:51:32.100
I want to make sure we're going to hold through the break. You're going to pick this up. And we got
00:51:35.080
Poso and Brian Glenn at the White House, a historic day to day. Obviously, the chaperones are coming.
00:51:41.900
I don't think there's ever been a group, even in World War II, I don't think we ever had a group of
00:51:46.860
the power. You know, you got Germany, you got France, you got Italy, you got the United Kingdom.
00:51:51.240
You got all the ones that they think count over there coming. So historic day, President Trump,
00:51:57.300
he's got Zelensky, the weight of history's on him. So we're going to explain it all to you exactly
00:52:03.280
where we are. Remember when Dave Brat's talking about those charts, all of them said, remember how long
00:52:08.840
you heard? Oh, Ukraine's winning. The Russia's going to collapse. Russian economy's going to
00:52:12.840
collapse. There's going to be a revolution. He's losing. He can't recruit any more people.
00:52:16.800
It was all lies. All lies. 100% lies. We didn't buy this from the very beginning, from the night
00:52:26.700
before, the evening before this fiasco started, what, back in February or March of 22? We told you
00:52:33.560
exactly what was going to happen. Ben Harnwell, Dave Brat, Jack Posobiec, Stephen K. Bannon,
00:52:38.360
and more of the war group, said this exact, Mersheimer's right. These guys are going to
00:52:43.780
fight down to the last Ukrainian. Now they're getting close to the last Ukrainians. They're
00:52:47.620
taking 60-year-old folks. They want American combat troops. Short break.
00:52:54.680
You missed the IRS tax deadline. You think it's just going to go away? Well, think again.
