00:00:00.000 I have received this afternoon a message from the Japanese government
00:00:04.380 in reply to the message forwarded to that government by the Secretary of State on August 11.
00:00:11.580 I deem this reply a full acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration,
00:00:17.280 which specifies the unconditional surrender of Japan.
00:00:22.200 In the reply, there is no qualification.
00:00:26.220 Arrangements are now being made for the formal signing of the surrender terms
00:00:30.400 at the earliest possible moment.
00:00:34.460 General Douglas MacArthur has been appointed the Supreme Allied Commander
00:00:38.640 to receive the Japanese surrender.
00:00:42.580 Great Britain, Russia, and China will be represented by high-ranking officers.
00:00:48.720 Meantime, the Allied Armed Forces have been ordered to suspend offensive action.
00:00:57.440 The proclamation of VJ Day must await upon the formal signing of the surrender terms by Japan.
00:01:04.720 President Putin, my old friend, I'm very glad to see you again in Beijing.
00:01:15.320 Literally yesterday, we participated together at the SAO Summit,
00:01:26.040 and tomorrow we are going to attend,
00:01:31.700 along with other heads of state and other guests of honor from the five continents,
00:01:40.160 we are going to celebrate together the 80th anniversary of the Chinese people's victory
00:01:46.680 over the Japanese invaders and our victory in World War II.
00:01:51.160 Your Excellency, my dear friend, both myself and the entire Russian delegation,
00:01:59.580 we are glad to have this chance to meet again our Chinese friends,
00:02:04.820 our Chinese counterparts.
00:02:07.100 We are grateful for the warm welcome extended to our delegation.
00:02:12.260 Our close communication reflects the strategic nature of the Russian-Chinese cooperation
00:02:19.800 that is at the unprecedentedly high level,
00:02:23.860 which was demonstrated during your official visit to Russia in May,
00:02:29.260 and our joint participation in the festive events to commemorate the victory.
00:02:35.360 We are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers,
00:02:43.360 to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored.
00:02:53.160 The terms and conditions upon which surrender of the Japanese imperial forces
00:03:00.500 is here to be given and accepted are contained in the instrument of surrender now before you.
00:03:09.660 I now invite the representatives of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government
00:03:20.560 and the Japanese imperial general headquarters
00:03:24.240 to sign the instrument of surrender at the places indicated.
00:03:30.720 Mr President, this demonstrates just how profound and comprehensive
00:03:35.100 our specially-privileged strategic partnership truly is.
00:03:39.560 Even under the most challenging circumstances,
00:03:42.400 India and Russia have always moved forward shoulder to shoulder. 0.75
00:03:46.080 Our close cooperation matters not only for the peoples of our two nations,
00:03:50.320 but also for ensuring global peace, stability and prosperity.
00:03:55.620 Japan accepted unconditional surrender
00:03:58.340 according to the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration.
00:04:01.440 General Jonathan Wainwright, liberated hero of Corregidor,
00:04:07.880 and British General Arthur Percival, who was forced to surrender Singapore,
00:04:12.260 stood at attention behind MacArthur as he began to write his name
00:04:15.420 with the first of five pens.
00:04:18.100 Pen number one went to General Wainwright.
00:04:20.120 The second pen was handed to General Percival.
00:04:33.500 The third and fourth were earmarked for the National Archives and West Point.
00:04:37.580 The fifth, Mac kept for himself.
00:04:40.940 These proceedings are closed.
00:04:44.480 Joe, I thought that the summit at Tianjin was a significant setback for the United States.
00:04:52.800 The image of Vladimir Putin holding hands with the leader of India, Narendra Modi,
00:05:01.140 was a sign that Putin is getting away with it.
00:05:04.860 That three years into this war, he is now claiming this was the West's fault.
00:05:11.380 And he has an audience of prominent world leaders who agree with him,
00:05:16.300 including somebody who was a key person in America's efforts
00:05:20.480 to create a new kind of informal partnership to contain China, namely India.
00:05:27.480 India's repositioning toward Russia and China reverses diplomacy that's been conducted
00:05:35.220 since the administration of George W. Bush, at least.
00:05:38.260 And it's a really significant setback.
00:05:41.740 In terms of the broader outlook for Trump's foreign policy,
00:05:46.340 he's now looking at failures or lack of success in each of the major diplomatic initiatives
00:05:52.220 that he undertook.
00:05:53.660 The Ukraine war is still far from settled,
00:05:57.420 and Russia is essentially thumbing its nose at President Trump.
00:06:01.380 The Gaza war continues in a bloodier-than-ever direction 0.75
00:06:06.180 that has got Israel divided against itself.
00:06:10.320 Just a terrible situation for Israel and the Palestinians both.
00:06:14.920 And Trump seemingly unable to make his peace policies.
00:06:19.200 One of the central things he ran on,
00:06:21.060 I'm going to go make peace to make those policies work.
00:06:24.400 And this weekend's summit was a symbol of just how tough the obstacles to him
00:06:31.100 succeeding in foreign policy have become.
00:06:33.520 At that moment, as if on cue, the sun came out.
00:06:37.400 And as the Japanese departed, a stunning aerial display.
00:06:41.880 More than 2,000 Allied aircraft flew in formation over the Missouri.
00:06:46.940 In Washington, President Harry Truman marked the moment.
00:06:50.340 There, on that small piece of American soil, anchored in Tokyo Harbor,
00:06:56.740 the Japanese have just officially laid down their arms.
00:07:01.240 They have signed terms of unconditional surrender.
00:07:05.720 Our first thoughts, of course, thoughts of gracefulness and deep obligations,
00:07:10.580 were out to those of our loved ones who have been killed or maimed in this terrible war.
00:07:15.240 On land and sea and in the air,
00:07:19.260 American men and women have given their lives
00:07:21.620 so that this day of ultimate victory might come
00:07:25.020 and assure the survival of a civilized world.
00:07:28.900 No victory can make good their loss.
00:07:31.280 We think of those whom death in this war has hurt,
00:07:36.220 taking from them fathers, husbands, sons, brothers and sisters whom they love.
00:07:41.880 No victory can bring back the faces they long to see.
00:07:46.380 Only the knowledge that the victory, which these sacrifices have made possible,
00:07:51.400 will be wisely used, can give them any comfort.
00:07:54.380 But it is our responsibility, ours, the living,
00:07:58.820 to see to us that this victory shall be a monument worthy of the dead who died to win it.
00:08:05.260 And our thoughts blew out to our gallant allies in this war,
00:08:08.660 to those who resisted the invaders,
00:08:10.940 to those who were not strong enough to hold out,
00:08:14.280 but who, nevertheless,
00:08:15.980 kept the fires of resistance alive within the souls of their people,
00:08:20.060 to those who stood up against great odds and held the line,
00:08:22.960 until the United Nations together were able to supply the arms and the men
00:08:27.840 with which to overcome the forces of evil.
00:08:31.700 This is a victory of more than arms alone.
00:08:35.300 This is a victory of liberty over tyranny.
00:08:38.260 It was the spirit of liberty which gave us our armed strength
00:08:41.840 and which made our men invincible in battle.
00:08:45.300 And so, on VJ Day,
00:08:47.900 we take renewed faith and pride in our own way of life.
00:08:52.960 We have had our day of rejoicing over this victory.
00:08:56.980 We have had our day of prayer and devotion.
00:09:00.180 Now let us set aside VJ Day
00:09:02.400 as one of renewed consecration to the principles
00:09:06.080 which have made us the strongest nation on earth
00:09:08.820 and which, in this war,
00:09:11.360 we have driven so mightily to preserve.
00:09:14.920 Victory always has its burdens and its responsibilities,
00:09:17.960 as well as its rejoicing.
00:09:19.820 But we face the future and all its dangers
00:09:22.840 with great confidence and great hope.
00:09:26.420 God's help has brought us to this day of victory.
00:09:30.280 With His help,
00:09:31.740 we will attain that peace and prosperity for ourselves
00:09:35.020 and all the world in the years ahead.
00:09:38.320 It is Tuesday, 2 September,
00:09:42.540 in the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:09:44.180 It is the 80th commemoration,
00:09:46.400 the 80th anniversary of the signing of the surrender document
00:09:49.420 by Imperial Japan
00:09:51.760 that brought the end to the bloodiest conflict
00:09:54.800 in mankind's history.
00:09:56.520 And symbolically,
00:09:58.220 and this was done on purpose
00:10:00.160 by the Chinese Communist Party and the KGB,
00:10:02.200 they had a gathering in Shanghai
00:10:04.040 over the last couple of days
00:10:05.280 to talk about a new world order
00:10:09.620 that they intend to put together
00:10:11.600 and to try to thwart the United States,
00:10:14.860 which has done an absolutely horrific job
00:10:17.580 in keeping our own house in order.
00:10:19.660 Jack Posobiec is with me.
00:10:21.360 We're going to spend the hour going through this,
00:10:22.960 talk about all the details of this,
00:10:25.460 including how it cuts back to opportunities
00:10:27.820 for citizens of the United States,
00:10:29.640 our budget, the ticking time bomb
00:10:32.120 of the government shutdown at midnight on the 30th plus.
00:10:38.180 The president of the United States
00:10:39.500 now telling Big Pharma and Bobby Kennedy,
00:10:41.820 let's see the data.
00:10:43.440 Let's see the information on the vaccines.
00:10:46.700 Jack Posobiec,
00:10:48.280 you and I followed this pretty closely over the weekend
00:10:50.600 of what's happening in Shanghai
00:10:52.020 as Xi tries to take the mantle
00:10:55.100 of the communists
00:10:57.600 who really just fought the nationalists.
00:11:00.440 They had very little engagement
00:11:01.620 with the Japanese the entire time 0.93
00:11:03.860 because all they wanted to do
00:11:04.760 was control the country after the war.
00:11:07.280 The Chinese Communist Party
00:11:08.320 had virtually no engagement
00:11:10.640 or very little engagement
00:11:11.640 with the Japanese in China.
00:11:14.340 All they did was fight the nationalists,
00:11:15.780 preparing to try to take over the country,
00:11:17.800 of which they did
00:11:18.940 a few years after
00:11:20.740 the peace treaty signed with the,
00:11:23.780 or the surrender, I guess it was,
00:11:25.080 signed with the Japanese.
00:11:27.260 Of course, Morning Joe and all of it
00:11:28.760 has got to bring it back to Ukraine,
00:11:30.660 which we know is a completely failed effort.
00:11:33.040 Jack Posobiec,
00:11:33.720 your thoughts on a day 80 years ago
00:11:37.780 that General Percival,
00:11:39.580 who surrendered Singapore,
00:11:41.520 and General Wainwright,
00:11:44.080 who was ordered to surrender Corregidor,
00:11:46.420 and then one of the Bataan Death March,
00:11:48.320 were very symbolically
00:11:49.620 the first two officers
00:11:51.540 that signed, co-signed
00:11:53.080 the surrender document
00:11:54.320 of the Japanese
00:11:55.180 to take the Japanese surrender.
00:11:57.000 Jack Posobiec,
00:11:57.880 the floor is your, sir.
00:12:00.200 Well, Steve,
00:12:00.960 when you really think about it,
00:12:01.900 80 years ago today,
00:12:03.340 it seemed as though
00:12:04.180 we were at the zenith
00:12:05.320 of American power,
00:12:07.300 and this really was
00:12:08.500 the broadening
00:12:10.280 and the opening
00:12:11.140 of the American century,
00:12:13.460 then push into the 1950s,
00:12:15.780 and you see America
00:12:17.380 has this sort of world dominance.
00:12:20.480 In addition to,
00:12:22.100 of course, though,
00:12:23.240 you see the communists
00:12:24.640 coming across on the land
00:12:27.280 while the U.S.
00:12:28.760 is able to maintain
00:12:29.900 their dominance at sea.
00:12:31.900 Of course,
00:12:32.440 the fact that this was signed
00:12:33.860 on a Navy battleship,
00:12:35.300 the USS Missouri,
00:12:36.640 is no small coincidence
00:12:39.140 because it represented
00:12:41.420 the sea power
00:12:42.900 of the United States
00:12:44.260 and the ability
00:12:44.980 of the United States
00:12:46.120 to use that Mahanian strategy
00:12:47.980 to enact the system
00:12:50.380 under which we now live,
00:12:52.200 which is this,
00:12:53.080 they call it
00:12:53.800 the global rules-based order,
00:12:56.520 if you listen to Anthony Blinken.
00:12:58.940 But, of course,
00:12:59.520 you now contrast that
00:13:00.980 with what was going on
00:13:02.060 on the land-based order.
00:13:05.120 This gets into
00:13:05.820 the Mackinder World Island theory,
00:13:07.640 and that's exactly
00:13:08.500 what Russia, India,
00:13:11.300 and China were up
00:13:13.340 to this weekend
00:13:14.300 at the Shanghai
00:13:15.240 Cooperation Organization
00:13:16.560 up there in Tianjin.
00:13:18.440 Now, tonight,
00:13:19.460 tomorrow,
00:13:20.020 their time,
00:13:20.580 Beijing time,
00:13:21.220 will be this huge parade.
00:13:23.020 So you're seeing
00:13:23.580 most of the members
00:13:24.860 of BRICS,
00:13:25.560 although Lula,
00:13:26.360 interestingly,
00:13:26.940 not there,
00:13:27.820 of course,
00:13:28.300 not member of SCO.
00:13:29.740 So the Brazilians,
00:13:30.920 I believe they sent
00:13:31.920 some people,
00:13:32.580 but Lula himself
00:13:33.400 is not there.
00:13:34.020 But what you're looking at
00:13:35.400 is this superintegration,
00:13:38.840 okay,
00:13:39.080 a superintegration
00:13:40.420 of the major land powers,
00:13:43.600 of the landmass of Asia
00:13:45.960 and Eurasia
00:13:47.840 with Russia,
00:13:48.760 China,
00:13:49.100 and India.
00:13:49.840 And this superintegration
00:13:51.260 is becoming a parallel
00:13:53.200 to NATO and the G7.
00:13:55.720 Now you've got
00:13:56.540 the SCO and BRICS
00:13:58.160 building a parallel institution
00:14:00.000 to this global
00:14:01.680 rules-based order.
00:14:04.020 And, of course,
00:14:05.520 India is there.
00:14:06.260 We'll get to all of it.
00:14:08.280 This is why
00:14:09.120 four years ago,
00:14:09.920 one of the reasons
00:14:10.500 we started
00:14:11.020 the end of the dollar empire,
00:14:12.860 to warn people.
00:14:14.260 And, of course,
00:14:15.600 Lula
00:14:16.080 had a Zoom call yesterday
00:14:18.240 with the folks
00:14:19.120 that were there
00:14:19.940 at the Shanghai
00:14:22.940 conference.
00:14:25.280 He had a BRICS call,
00:14:26.480 Zoom call,
00:14:27.100 talking even more
00:14:28.200 about these bilateral agreements,
00:14:29.980 which the British gold guys
00:14:31.040 found when they went to Rio,
00:14:32.160 to thwart the dollar
00:14:35.400 even more.
00:14:36.040 Gold blowing through $3,500,
00:14:38.380 reaching an all-time high
00:14:39.860 as we were coming on the air
00:14:42.060 over $3,500.
00:14:44.360 Take your phone out.

00:15:16.800 the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will
00:15:22.960 decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not
00:15:28.800 happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal
00:15:35.940 moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable
00:15:42.660 reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group can help

00:17:04.520 to be streaming. They're going to be streaming the parade, the three September parade with the
00:17:13.900 Chinese Communist Xi and Putin and all that. Modi is not going to be there, which I think is very
00:17:17.480 important, very symbolic. I will be, to the degree that I'm around, I'll be jumping into that. We're
00:17:26.500 Jack Posobiec. And so much more going on, too. I'm going to get to everything that's happening
00:17:30.820 because now, after Labor Day, you're going to have a mad rush. September is going to be absolutely
00:17:36.340 crazy, folks. So much stuff going on. And let's make it a good crazy as we hurtle towards a government
00:17:41.560 shutdown on 30 September or having to eat an NDA and an omnibus that's got, I don't know,
00:17:49.900 a $2 trillion deficit for next fiscal year. But I think people are awakening to the fact
00:17:58.060 that the big, beautiful bill either has to be sold harder or you have to have another reconciliation
00:18:05.120 where maybe, wait for it, you actually tax the wealthy. More on that later as we progress through
00:18:12.300 this, Jack Posobiec, the Second World War is not Pearl Harbor. It's not Normandy. It's not the Holocaust.
00:18:21.860 It's all of that, obviously, and so much more. At the end of the day, it was a fight for the Eurasian
00:18:26.920 landmass of which, I don't know, 100 million casualties in that fight of which the United States
00:18:35.460 with Great Britain, but particularly the Russian, the Red Army, the Russian people, and the Chinese
00:18:42.280 people, Lao Baixing, actually broke Imperial Japan and broke the Nazis and the fascists in Italy.
00:18:49.600 Today, folks are not taught the history of the Second World War and therefore really don't understand
00:18:57.020 fully what we're commemorating today on the 80th anniversary of that. The people that fought it
00:19:01.780 certainly did. You can tell about how geopolitically they went about it. I think that the leaders of
00:19:09.120 our country would be quite disappointed that given all the sacrifice, all the blood, all the agony
00:19:16.780 of our getting engaged there, which we did not want to until we were forced to by being attacked,
00:19:23.520 and then the Nazis, two days after or three days after being attacked at Pearl Harbor, declared war on us.
00:19:29.140 Always want people to understand we did not declare war on Nazi Germany until after they declared war
00:19:35.800 on us. That the architects of that victory and the young men who sacrificed their lives for that
00:19:43.540 victory would be quite disappointed 80 years from that time that we've allowed some of the worst actors
00:19:52.040 in the world to try to reconvene and to try to take not just the Eurasian landmass, but the entire
00:19:57.920 world. And so an America first policy has to be to partner with the correct people. And I think the
00:20:05.160 Russian people are someone that we ought to think long and hard about partnering with, not Putin and
00:20:10.360 the KGB. Obviously, they're not the best actors in the world, but this feckless NATO allies. And let me be 0.63
00:20:19.200 specific. All the happy talk you saw here at the Oval Office two weeks ago, the big talk, they're going to do
00:20:24.300 this, they're going to do that. The head of the EU, the president was talking over the weekend about
00:20:30.800 army they're going to put together and troops they're going to send to the line of contact in
00:20:34.480 Ukraine. And yet we have this morning a crisis in England. The bond market is throwing up all over
00:20:42.820 their government securities. They're facing a financial crisis. Macron, and this is Politico reports,
00:20:49.320 as Bloomberg reports, as Macron and his government are in a crisis this week, where Le Pen's now rising
00:20:54.920 in popularity as they're facing a financial crisis. As we forecast here in the war room two years ago,
00:21:02.120 that both of those, Germany's already in a major recession, but those two are hurtling towards it.
00:21:07.980 They have a mass immigration problem. You're hurtling towards a civil war in the United Kingdom. 1.00
00:21:15.420 You put up the cross of St. George, you put up a flag of England, and the police come around and
00:21:22.140 trying to lock you up. So with all these problems, right, now we see the Chinese Communist Party,
00:21:29.480 which is the major font of all evil in the world, plotting against us. And what they're focused on
00:21:37.960 right now, folks, is to take down and destroy the U.S. dollars, the prime reserve currency. That's where
00:21:42.860 their banks are buying gold in record rates because they intend, as we reported, or as the
00:21:48.880 Birch Gold guys reported from Rio, it's all these bilat deals. So you have the worst actors in the 1.00
00:21:54.600 world, particularly Lula. And today or tomorrow, we're going to get the verdict on Bolsonaro,
00:22:01.260 and Bolsonaro is going to be found guilty, and he's going to go to prison, and they're going to
00:22:04.940 try to assassinate him in prison. This is why his health is deteriorating so rapidly.
00:22:09.560 Jack Posobiec, put it in perspective for us. Where, on the 80th commemoration, 80 years ago,
00:22:16.020 what would the folks, the architects that won the Second World War from the United States of America,
00:22:21.360 the rising superpower, what would they think? What would they think today on the 80th anniversary of it?
00:22:27.920 Well, you know, Steve, it's very interesting because you go back, you talk to the boys in Normandy,
00:22:32.840 look at some of the public opinion pieces, or for those of us who were blessed enough and gifted
00:22:39.840 enough to have had the opportunity to meet that living generation, which we're losing now, 0.99
00:22:44.920 those living links between our families and our forefathers, our recent forefathers who fought
00:22:52.020 in World War II and their opinions. You can go and listen to them. You can listen to them over and
00:22:56.800 over, and they tell you, they say, this is not what we fought for. We didn't fight for our cities
00:23:02.440 to be destroyed and turned into dumps and slums. We didn't fight for these open-air drug markets to
00:23:09.020 be put out. We didn't fight for our cities to be flooded with migrants from the Third World. We 1.00
00:23:14.200 didn't fight for any of these things. And you're seeing tyranny from the government now,
00:23:18.160 from, say, oh, well, you know, at least we're not speaking German in London, and yet they're 0.95
00:23:22.720 locking up people over memes. They locked up a cartoonist or a comedian over a couple of tweets
00:23:30.140 just recently. A left-wing guy, by the way, just locked him up. I think that was earlier today,
00:23:34.520 and they put a huge fine on him. So you come back and say, oh, we fought for freedom. Well,
00:23:39.020 what freedom? What freedom do we still have? Now, here in the United States, fortunately, in 2024,
00:23:44.120 we were able to turn away from that. But you still look at what's being pushed on Western Europe
00:23:50.520 now, particularly Poland, of course, and they're going to be here in the United States with the
00:23:54.480 Polish president meeting President Trump in just a couple of days. They're now at a precipice where
00:24:00.560 they were trying to impose this on Poland, but the people of Poland said, stood strong and said,
00:24:05.680 absolutely not, because we don't care if the tyranny is coming from Berlin or Brussels or Moscow.
00:24:12.560 We say no. And that's what the people of the United States did as well. But at the same time,
00:24:18.520 you still have people all over the world looking at these bastions. Look, when we talk about this
00:24:25.540 history of freedom, these ideas, they came from the United Kingdom, and now suddenly that's where
00:24:31.060 they're falling apart. And by the way, Australia, and I had the opportunity to speak on Sky News
00:24:35.000 Australia over the weekend, massive rallies all across every single major city in Australia over the
00:24:42.000 weekend. Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, tens of thousands of people marching for freedom and
00:24:49.620 marching against mass migration. They said mass migration is a silent invasion, and this has
00:24:56.080 become the watchword of the Western world. So while we're trying to recalibrate our freedoms here in
00:25:04.480 the Anglosphere, in Western civilization, what do we see going on on the landmass of Eurasia?
00:25:10.540 We're seeing this super integration far beyond anything that they were able to do. Because,
00:25:16.220 Steve, we talk about the end of World War II, and it was. Certainly the formal war ended today 80 years
00:25:22.760 ago. But look at what happened just after. You have the Chinese communists winning in Beijing just a
00:25:28.560 couple of years later in 1949, so four years later, after they restart the civil war with what the
00:25:34.440 backing of, oh, the Soviet Union. Why? Because the Soviet Union had been able to invade through 0.70
00:25:40.340 Manchuria. It was Manchukuo at the time, taking the entire industrial base up there in the Northeast.
00:25:46.440 And they were able to use those arms and everything that they captured from the Japanese, hand that over 0.97
00:25:51.120 to Chairman Mao. Now he's pushing the nationalists out. And Chiang Kai-shek, because we totally cut him
00:25:56.020 off, we sold him out. He's got to flee to Taiwan. That's what set up the Taiwan situation,
00:26:00.400 which remains to this day. They pushed down into Korea a couple of years later, but really just
00:26:05.660 one year later. And that sets up the Korean War. So you have all of this aftermath that goes on on
00:26:12.300 the Asian landmass as a connection between what communism is doing out of Moscow into the fall
00:26:20.920 of China, which the United States either stood back and watched or was given to them as a dowry
00:26:28.100 over there at the conference in Yalta, the same way we gave them Eastern Europe. So how does it,
00:26:34.900 how, how does World War II actually end, right? If you, if you think about it, who comes out of
00:26:39.660 World War II on top? Joseph Stalin comes out of World War II with a communist empire that stretches 0.77
00:26:46.120 from Berlin all the way to Beijing. And that is a history that needs to be reckoned with.
00:26:52.340 Well, after 1943, there was arguments even inside the government that were giving too many arms to,
00:26:59.300 to, to, to, to the Russians, right? The Russians obviously were going to be the instrument to 1.00
00:27:03.880 break the back of the Wehrmacht, the German army. But there were a lot of people that say, a lot of
00:27:07.920 people in time, the government were saying, Hey, um, including some of the America first people in
00:27:12.460 Congress, Hey, we're given, there's one thing to have them as an ally, uh, as bad as the Bolsheviks 0.97
00:27:18.360 are, as bad as the Soviets are, but we can't, we, we oversupplied them. There's no question about 1.00
00:27:22.940 that. And I agree with you. The World War II actually started in the, uh, in the mid 1930s,
00:27:28.420 early 1930s, uh, in China, right on the landmass, not just the Spanish civil war, but the, uh, the
00:27:35.040 invasion. Yeah. The invasion. And it didn't end until, uh, and it still has, it's really just an
00:27:39.140 armistice. The, uh, the Korean war immediately fighting in China, continued on a book about it last
00:27:44.480 year. I can't, I can't remember who that was again on humans, some guy, some guy, some Polish 1.00
00:27:52.160 guys, some Polish guy, uh, stick around Jack. We're going to be comparing and contrasting America 1.00
00:27:59.240 first, uh, Chicago's next. That's where troops ought to be going. No troops to Ukraine, no troops, 0.85
00:28:06.140 uh, to Persia troops to Chicago. They cleaned up DC or then process of cleaning it up Chicago next 0.92
00:28:13.320 New York after that LA after that short commercial break. Talk about the modern day. Holy war as we
00:28:21.060 go out. Posobiec's here on the kickoff to a mad September. You missed the IRS tax deadline. You

00:30:57.720 installments we've done. We're also working on the eighth and ninth, so more on that coming. You
00:31:01.860 understand the logic of the BRICS. You have to understand how your enemy thinks. And right now,
00:31:08.060 the BRICS are the enemy of the United States of America. No doubt about that. That's where we got 1.00
00:31:12.040 to keep India out of it. Jack Posobiec. You got to have the rapprochement with Russia and the Russian
00:31:22.580 people. You got to sort out Ukraine. Let me just be blunt because we have not been wrong on this yet. 0.56
00:31:27.140 And we said it the day that the chaperones were here taking up all that time of President Trump.
00:31:33.940 They don't have the financial wherewithal, the political will, or the military capacity
00:31:37.920 to add anything to Ukraine. They gave a bunch of happy talk that day, but they went back with
00:31:43.320 over to the Ukrainian embassy. And there was that picture with Zelensky. He's trying to sell them,
00:31:48.480 but they got nothing. Zero. It's all happy talk. The British economy is collapsing.
00:31:53.760 The French economy is collapsing. The German economy is already in a recession.
00:31:59.840 There's no political will of the people to do this. They don't have any arms. They have no armies.
00:32:04.540 They can't defend themselves. They depended upon the underwriting of the United States of America.
00:32:09.380 That's why, folks, over the next two weeks, they're going to have a must-pass NDAA,
00:32:13.860 National Defense Authorization Act. It's basically going to lay out over $1 trillion
00:32:19.060 defense budget for the good old United States of America that you are paying for and that your kids
00:32:25.960 are signing up for. And that is because they want to get us into Ukraine big league. It's not going
00:32:32.320 to happen. President Trump's not going to let that happen. But, Jack, right now the Russians are 0.98
00:32:37.240 pounding. Zelensky says we're going to pound back. I'm sure they will, as long as they have the arms and
00:32:42.700 somebody gives them money and arms, they'll continue to pound back. It's not about the courage or valor
00:32:46.620 of the Ukrainian people. Hell, 1.8 million of them are either dead or wounded in this fight.
00:32:53.460 And I think now it's pretty obvious that the Russians are going to focus on taking Odessa 0.97
00:32:58.300 before they have any discussions about shutting this thing down. Your thoughts, sir?
00:33:04.480 Well, Steve, and not only that, you talk about the political precariousness position that many of
00:33:09.980 the leaders of Western Europe are facing, but Zelensky himself is in a precarious position. This is why
00:33:15.260 just last week, Zelensky was able to reopen the borders. People know that, of course,
00:33:21.320 military-age men in Ukraine, since the war began, were not allowed to leave the country. So when we
00:33:28.040 traveled in a couple of times earlier this year, what did we see at the train station? It's women 1.00
00:33:33.060 and children. The women and children are heading out of Ukraine, and they've gone into Poland in a large 0.96
00:33:38.440 amount, and, of course, further on into Germany and other parts of Western Europe. But now, just last
00:33:44.100 week, Zelensky, because of his own political position, he's allowed 18 to 20-year-old men,
00:33:50.900 18 to 22, are now allowed to leave Ukraine. You can read this all over the media. You saw videos
00:33:58.660 flooding all over social media. So 18 to 22-year-olds now able to leave. This new regulation was just
00:34:04.660 confirmed on August 26. And that, of course, doesn't mean that they can't volunteer. They
00:34:10.220 can't necessarily go ahead and say they want to join the military. But it does allow them to leave
00:34:15.560 because the pressure has been building up so much. And this has really been the issue from the very
00:34:21.020 start. There's been two inextricable factors to this entire war that you and I have talked about for
00:34:27.240 three and a half years now, Steve, and that's been energy and manpower. So we talked on the very first
00:34:32.840 day of this, how energy strategy and the feckless nature of Western Europe and their ridiculous 0.66
00:34:38.820 energy strategy with the windmills and going green and all of this had played a huge role into setting
00:34:44.960 this off. We talked about Greta. She's back in the news again with her new haircut. He-Man wants his
00:34:51.420 hair cut back, by the way. Hang on. Hang on. The fetish of decarbonization.
00:34:55.900 Decarbonization. Yes. It's a fetish of decarbonization that destroyed Germany as a
00:35:02.900 major industrial power. They're in a recession for one reason. They've tried to decarbonize
00:35:07.820 this radical climate agenda, right? And at the same time being dependent upon Russian natural gas.
00:35:14.740 Well, they were getting some cheap Russian natural gas, but something happened to that pipeline that
00:35:18.940 no one seems to answer what exactly happened to that thing, by the way. Not sure if we can get a
00:35:24.620 straight answer on that one. The Danes haven't given us, but I think the Danish know. They just 0.75
00:35:29.140 know that they're not allowed to say. And, you know, when you look at the pipeline diplomacy, by the
00:35:34.280 way, if you want to talk short term effects on this of the SEO meeting, when you see as Xi Jinping
00:35:39.680 called it, the dance of the dragon and the elephant, that it's it's very clear. India is going to continue 0.99
00:35:47.980 purchasing the cheap oil from Russia, the cheap natural gas and China. What did they do? They just
00:35:53.840 inked and locked in a pipeline, a new pipeline. Power of Siberia, too, is going to be crossing
00:36:00.340 Mongolia, going from Siberia directly to where Beijing. So they're locking in and solidifying 0.92
00:36:07.760 this relationship, financial, economic, military, security. And then, of course, you and none of this,
00:36:16.240 none of this, if they have these new structures in place, the SEO and the bricks, it's not going to
00:36:21.560 need to flow through any Western banks, which the Russians aren't going to want to do, because 0.99
00:36:26.380 what happened the last time they used Western banks, everything was frozen. So guess what?
00:36:31.900 That means that the war machine keeps gets to keep pumping. Now, I said the second factor,
00:36:37.060 of course, was manpower. The manpower issue, it is what it is. And the Western, by the way,
00:36:42.160 Steve, you mentioned the coalition of the unwilling. Well, we have the coalition of the unwilling.
00:36:46.980 But of course, don't forget, folks, that Britain and France would love to send a bunch of polls to
00:36:53.480 go and fight in Ukraine. They'd be more than happy to send 10,000, 20,000 Polish men to go and fight 0.85
00:37:00.180 in Ukraine. But they're not going to send any of their own people. And why? Because of the political
00:37:05.060 position that they're in right now. So when you hear these numbers, we're going to get 20,000
00:37:09.640 together. We're going to get fit. They're talking about Polish people. They're talking about sending 1.00
00:37:13.100 Polish citizens to go and fight the Russian war machine. And that's the war machine that when
00:37:18.120 you look over in these Eastern Russian speaking provinces has continued throughout all of these
00:37:22.780 talks, throughout all of these meetings, they've continued to ground and pound the Ukrainian 1.00
00:37:27.900 military in many of these areas and a few places, by the way, also breaking through this massive
00:37:33.000 front line, 600 mile front line that they've kept open this entire time. And what are the Russians 0.99
00:37:40.000 doing? Just like a, just like, you know, a chess strategy, they're holding back and they're waiting
00:37:44.960 for the Ukrainian military to attempt these counteroffensives. And then when they come forward,
00:37:49.740 they're using their artillery, they're using drones, they're using everything at their command.
00:37:54.140 I was watching some videos last night where they showed that because the targeting has gotten so,
00:38:00.280 so the fidelity of the targeting has gotten so good now that a number of the Ukrainian training forces
00:38:06.000 now have to train underground. They have to put their barracks underground, even deep into the
00:38:11.300 backfield, into Lviv, because whether it's surveillance, whether it's intelligence networks,
00:38:16.460 and of course, Russian intelligence is all over Western Ukraine, the same way, by the way,
00:38:21.760 American intelligence has been there. We know the CIA has been there for a long time. We know that
00:38:25.720 the US military has been running a lot of this out of that, that, that gymnasium in Germany.
00:38:30.580 So this is really a situation where when, when you talk about, and when we went up to Anchorage and
00:38:37.280 sat down and talked about how it's a Ukraine-Russia war, you really can't extricate the United States 0.59
00:38:43.300 from the massive amount of involvement we've had in this. This has been a proxy war from the very
00:38:49.160 start between NATO and Russia.
00:38:52.940 And now the game's up because the, and I think that was a great thing about President Trump having
00:38:58.020 the chaperones come because now they've been exposed in all their phoniness. They're barely,
00:39:03.720 listen, this, these are governments that, that, that wanted and invited in mass migration. This,
00:39:09.300 these, the mass invasion from North Africa and the Middle East. And now each one of these governments 0.64
00:39:15.340 are teetering on collapse. I think Starmer's approval ratings are in the low twenties.
00:39:20.740 They're talking about Sadiq Khan actually replacing him. Sadiq Khan, the Muslim Brotherhood front man 0.88
00:39:27.740 that has, that has totally changed London, just like Mondani is going to change New York City when they 1.00
00:39:34.040 take over. The, the, the red green alliance of these neo-Marxists with the jihadists, you're going to see 0.65
00:39:39.900 New York City become the new, new London. And now you get every Democrat running to, to endorse,
00:39:45.560 to endorse Zoran or Zoran. So, but it's the collapse of these governments and they can't
00:39:52.160 provide any manpower. You're seeing the exact same thing in Israel yesterday or Sunday, excuse me,
00:39:57.700 Sunday. And this comes from the Jerusalem post and the times of Israel. A 12, I think it was a 12 hour 0.89
00:40:03.900 cabinet meeting where the IDF is essentially saying, and this is the IDF commander who was pretty blunt
00:40:12.100 and saying, Hey, before I came in, in March, you had taken zero of Gaza. I've taken 70% of it since 0.99
00:40:17.940 I've, I've been the head of IDF. And he's adamantly opposed. It looks like to the plan that Netanyahu and
00:40:23.960 these guys have of, of going door to door in Gaza with the bad actors, but more importantly than having
00:40:30.520 an occupation, he's saying, Hey, you're going to have to have a military, basically a military
00:40:36.560 government in Gaza run by the IDF. And we can't do it. I mean, they had a brutal, they had a brutal
00:40:42.920 cabinet meeting. And part of the reason is they just don't have the manpower. Remember have this
00:40:48.360 huge political issue where they had the young men, the parents didn't want them to fight in Ukraine
00:40:52.860 because they were just being led to the slaughterhouse. In Israel, you got it differently. I guess
00:40:56.940 the ultra Orthodox young men for a host of reasons, culturally, religious, et cetera,
00:41:04.120 won't fight or been excluded. Now a lot of the Israeli citizens are against that. They want them
00:41:09.560 to serve. The IDF just has a, a massive manpower problem to have to go into Gaza and Gaza is, is,
00:41:16.080 is going to be like some of the tough battles in Najaf and Fallujah in Iraq, where you have to go
00:41:24.400 door to door in these bloody, you know, clearing exercises, Jack Posobiec. So the manpower issue is
00:41:29.780 massive in Israel right now to finish what they started in Gaza, sir.
00:41:34.120 Well, Steve, not only that, you mentioned the old ultra Orthodox. This was a key point 1.00
00:41:39.380 in Bibi Netanyahu being able to secure right before the, the Iran campaign began a couple
00:41:46.520 of weeks ago, a couple of months ago. Now at this point between Israel and Iran, what did we see?
00:41:51.560 We saw this key situation where Bibi Netanyahu's political coalition almost fell apart, but it was
00:41:57.560 that ultra ultra Orthodox party that said, we will remain with you. But what we want is a carve out.
00:42:02.940 It was about being drafted into the reserves and being sent to fight. And the ultra Orthodox in 0.99
00:42:08.320 Israel, this has been a longstanding issue of them. It's kind of like the, uh, you know,
00:42:11.960 the Quakers in the United States, you know, we don't fight, we're pacifists, we're against that.
00:42:16.140 But even then, because every other, and everyone knows about the compulsory military service in
00:42:21.040 Israel, every single other group there says, wait a minute, why do you guys get special favors? So
00:42:26.540 the situation has become politically untenable as well as militarily untenable because it is an
00:42:33.680 unpopular war internationally and domestically. It's leading to these fractures and not only within
00:42:39.340 the political governance in the Knesset, but also within the IDF. But of course you're seeing them
00:42:45.920 push forward because, and I believe that Netanyahu firmly believes that this is the best policy for
00:42:52.780 Israel going forward. You saw him starting to release more footage from October 7th over the
00:42:58.220 past weekend, bringing up some of those videos from that October coming up on, I think on the
00:43:02.940 second anniversary of all that. I remember when those videos came out and we played what we could
00:43:07.900 at the time of those horrific events. But you know, now people are looking at two years later and
00:43:13.120 they're saying, wait a minute, we see horrific videos every single day coming out of Gaza. And also,
00:43:19.280 when you talk to the soldiers, they're looking at it saying, wait a minute, this would be like going
00:43:23.100 door to door in New Delhi with a populace that is extremely and increasingly hostile to us. Many
00:43:31.920 cases fighting for their children. And then of course, Steve, what do you see from the Christian 1.00
00:43:35.960 community, Catholic community? They're staying put. Yeah. Jack, hang on for one second. We're getting to 1.00
00:43:41.620 all that. Short break. Jack Posobiec is with us this morning in the war room.
00:43:47.440 According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000 percent over the next
00:43:52.560 few years. It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers. We talk
00:43:58.280 about that all the time here in the war room. And we have a fragile power grid. It just cannot keep
00:44:03.780 up with that demand. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power,
00:44:08.540 even for a day. That's why I got the grid doctor 3,300 from my patron supply. It's a powerful solar
00:44:15.700 generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to write
00:44:22.140 out a blackout. And right now for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free
00:44:29.200 survival gear with your generator, including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival twos,
00:44:36.000 and more. You heard that right. Over a thousand bucks in free gear for a limited time. Head to

00:44:48.400 Christmas in July bundle before it's gone. Blackouts are coming. Go to mypatriotsupply.com
00:44:55.000 slash Bannon and get prepared today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:45:04.380 Okay. I see some breaking news that, uh, treasury intensifies pressure on Iranian oil smuggling and
00:45:11.260 sanctions evasion schemes in Iraq, right? They ought to do it with the Chinese Communist Party. 0.91
00:45:17.260 They're doing, if you cut off, uh, you wouldn't have a Iranian or Persian problem. If you stopped 0.98
00:45:26.260 allowing the mullahs to get cashflow by selling, I think 80% of the energy needs of, uh, China right 0.92
00:45:33.580 now, as all these other pipelines are being built, it still comes from the mullahs from Iran. You cut 0.78
00:45:40.680 that off and you can cut that off easily because it's supposed to be sanctioned. And now it's supposed
00:45:45.780 to be double sanctioned because of the, uh, because of the Kuwait, uh, because of the, um, Ukraine war.
00:45:51.940 You cut that off, the mullahs drop of cashflow, the Persian people take care of it. It's their call. 1.00
00:45:59.280 You know, don't we have enough, uh, track record in, in our, our long engagement with, with the Shah 0.91
00:46:06.120 and, uh, and everything that that brought to understand what the Persian people want to do.
00:46:11.700 If they, if they want to overthrow these guys, cut off the cashflow and let's see how it plays out.
00:46:18.500 We can't do BB is going to try to divert everybody's attention from his own
00:46:23.440 mangled handling of Gaza. This is his responsibility. And he can put out all the October 7th 1.00
00:46:29.800 videos. He wants what we want to see is an official inquiry into October 7th on this very show,
00:46:37.140 on that very day, in that very moment, Jack Posobiec on that Saturday show, who is a naval
00:46:43.940 intelligence officer, Jack, we talked about, it's just impossible that the Mossad and Shin
00:46:49.040 Ben and, uh, American intelligence. It's just, it, it, it just, it's incredible, right? As bad a job
00:46:56.440 as they've done on the intelligence in Persia, what happened on October 7th, they still haven't
00:47:03.300 answered the questions. They need to have a Pearl Harbor type inquiry, uh, into exactly what went on
00:47:08.760 our 9-11 commission. Not that the 9-11 commission or Pearl Harbor ever got to the answers, but it
00:47:13.860 began the process to get to the answers. We haven't, we haven't seen that yet, but BB is no doubt right
00:47:21.280 now, his whole thing, he had an interview with Joel Pollack last week. His whole thing is you can't be
00:47:27.000 MAGA and be anti-Israel. Look, you can be pro-Israel, you can be anti-Israel, you can do anything you want 0.69
00:47:33.560 that as long as you're America first and not Israel first, you can be MAGA. So we don't need a foreign 1.00
00:47:39.600 leader, particularly a vassal state. Let me, they are a protectorate. They are a protectorate. You saw this
00:47:48.180 in the 12-day war. They didn't have the ability, didn't even come close to the ability
00:47:53.300 to take out the nuclear enrichment program, including the above ground, the above ground,
00:48:01.160 which Navy submarines with Tomahawk missiles, which I might add, Jack, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:48:06.560 the Tomahawk is a 1970s technology. Okay. For the vaunted Israeli air force, uh, we had to take out 0.98
00:48:14.780 the above ground with Tomahawk missiles from the North Arabian sea. Uh, we also had to protect by sending
00:48:21.200 Aegis cruisers in our air defense and 25% of our Thad, uh, missile defense to basically provide
00:48:28.200 missile defense for Tel Aviv and other areas because the iron dome and David sling and all
00:48:33.480 this stuff they promote didn't work to the degree that the ballistic missiles and what the Iranians
00:48:38.360 and Persians were hitting them with. This is why president Trump did the massive raid and president 0.98
00:48:43.140 Trump is locked in. He's saying, Hey, total obliteration, obliteration of their nuclear enrichment
00:48:48.540 programs. So end of discussion. They want to have regime change. Let the, let the, uh, let the 1.00
00:48:54.800 Persian people do it or the Israelis, if they can finish what they started and don't need to drag us 1.00
00:48:59.820 in, which obviously they need to drag us in and they're going to try to drag us into Gaza. That's 0.70
00:49:04.700 what we have to be on guard about. Cause this Gaza thing, as tough as the IDF is in this commander,
00:49:10.620 the IDF is a pretty tough hombre. When a guy like that saying, Hey, I think we really got to think
00:49:16.820 this thing through before we do this. And I don't like the way BB and these guys, I mean, he in this
00:49:21.380 meeting, and this is what's reported by the Jerusalem posts and the times of Israel, and even all the
00:49:25.060 right-wing bloggers, he threw up to BB and these guys, where were you guys on October 7th? Where were
00:49:30.100 you on October 8th? Where were you on October 9th? So there's a big gap now you're seeing between
00:49:35.900 the IDF and the politicians, sir. Well, and Steve, you also have, uh, president Trump coming out in
00:49:43.660 this, this really incredible interview. And I've, I've been able to parse through a lot of it with
00:49:48.600 the great Reagan Reese over at daily call or oval office interview. And he mentions Israel and he
00:49:54.200 says that, uh, and I want to read the quote, they have to get that war over with, but it is hurting
00:50:00.280 Israel. There's no question about it. They may be winning the war, but they're not winning the world 0.83
00:50:05.360 of public relations and it's hurting them. Israel was the strongest lobby 15 years ago that there's
00:50:10.540 ever been. And now is it's been hurt, especially in Congress. So that's, that's president Trump's
00:50:15.580 statement. And we know president Trump obviously has sided with Israel, uh, throughout all of this,
00:50:20.420 but at the same time, he's now also pointing out that this is something that he would like to get
00:50:25.820 over with soon. Uh, you mentioned before I let you go, I know you got to bounce. Uh, the Bible was 0.73
00:50:32.480 supposed to be a big announcement today from the white house at 2 p.m. Department more calling it
00:50:37.220 live and check, check, check, you're going to say what, what, what's the announcement?
00:50:43.540 Well, we we've the, the word on the street is that it has to do with defense. Uh, I know the
00:50:48.400 Democrats and, and are claiming that it has to do with the president's health, which is amazing by
00:50:53.380 the way, because the Democrats spent four years telling us that there was nothing wrong with Joe
00:50:57.280 Biden. I remember watching Joe Scarborough. That's the best Biden I've ever seen up there.
00:51:02.300 He's smart. He's articulate. He's going, he's waxing poetic. Well, you know, Biden can't even find his
00:51:07.400 way off the stage, but, uh, but, and then, and then Trump and political playbook this morning,
00:51:12.080 by the way, completely lied about the fact that Trump held the longest cabinet meeting on record.
00:51:18.260 They said he had no public events. I said, what do you mean? I was standing there on the South
00:51:21.180 lawn for three and a half hours waiting for a meeting to get done. What do you mean? No public events.
00:51:24.960 We all watched it. Like we're out like a, you know, a marathon episode of the apprentice or
00:51:28.820 something or going around the room, but you know, I guess Politico just wants to live in their fantasy
00:51:33.180 world. Uh, you know, they need to get, uh, need to get some, need to get Dasha and some other people
00:51:37.680 back, uh, on that thing because it was good for a minute, but now it's, it's, it's gone to the dogs
00:51:42.920 for sure. Department of War. Hey Jack, uh, we have a two minute break at the top of the hour. I'm going to ask
00:51:49.480 you to hold just for a few minutes because I want to talk to you about Christians in the Middle East.
00:51:53.580 There's a discussion among certain parties of a Christian state in the Levant, maybe to parallel
00:52:01.860 the Jewish state. Uh, want to get your thoughts on that. Short commercial break. Jack Basovic's
00:52:06.840 going to be with us. Dr. Taylor Marshall is going to join us. Uh, we're going to talk about also the
00:52:11.720 details of what's going to happen the rest of September. Quite intense, very intense between
