Bannon's War Room - Episode 4930： Visions Of Hemispheric Defense And What That Means With Venezuela

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.000 Pray for our enemies.

00:00:09.000 Because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.000 Mega Media.

00:00:29.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.000 War Room.

00:00:45.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.

00:00:53.000 Saturday, 15 November, Year of Our Lord 2025.

00:00:56.000 I've got up now.

00:00:57.000 Elizabeth has gotten up for me.

00:00:58.000 I think she's got up on Getter. 0.96

00:00:59.000 I just approved.

00:01:00.000 It's a story from Reuters about Scott Besson giving an interview, I believe it is,

00:01:04.000 and talking about the Treasury Department made a lot of money on this swap deal they did in Argentina.

00:01:10.000 The concept, and we'll get into more of this next week, of moral hazard is something that,

00:01:16.000 because you're going to get this on AI and all of it, moral hazard, this concept.

00:01:20.000 We'll drill down more of it next week.

00:01:24.000 I think it's more than a philosophical.

00:01:25.000 It's also kind of a practical financial decision.

00:01:29.000 We'll get into that.

00:01:30.000 Ben Harnold, you'll look at this article.

00:01:32.000 Posto's on a train.

00:01:36.000 They're heading up.

00:01:37.000 Benny Johnson and Posobiec are going to go to this UFC fight tonight.

00:01:41.000 They're taking 3,000.

00:01:43.000 Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA, those Magnificent Freedom t-shirts up there to share.

00:01:48.000 So it's going to be quite an event.

00:01:50.000 I'm sure we're going to get tons of footage.

00:01:51.000 We're going to get Posto in a moment.

00:01:52.000 He's on, I think, the Acela heading to New York City from the Washington, D.C. area.

00:01:57.000 We'll get to him in a moment.

00:01:58.000 Brandon Weikert.

00:01:59.000 Brandon, your books, you've got a magnificent book on biohacking.

00:02:04.000 You've got a great book on the Moodles in Iran and the whole Persian situation, space.

00:02:09.000 I tell people, if you want a practical book on a topic of geopolitics,

00:02:14.000 I think you're one of the best writers out there, because you don't put a lot of flourish to it.

00:02:17.000 Thank you.

00:02:18.000 You just get right to the facts, and you lay it out.

00:02:20.000 I wanted to get you on this morning because I know you've been very interested.

00:02:23.000 We've been talking now for months that you're very interested and focused on what I would call the Monroe Doctrine 2.0

00:02:28.000 or President Trump's historic pivot to hemispheric defense.

00:02:33.000 Yes.

00:02:34.000 Now, walk me through the architecture of that pivot, why it's important to the America First and MAGA movement,

00:02:40.000 and then we're going to drill down on the details about Venezuela because I know you've got, not concerns,

00:02:45.000 but I think you've got a very practical way of looking at it.

00:02:48.000 We've got Bradley Thayer who's got a little different take on it, but we're going to get some different opinions this morning.

00:02:53.000 Brandon Weikert, the floor is yours, sir.

00:02:56.000 Well, thank you, Steve, as always, for having me.

00:02:57.000 It's a pleasure to be here.

00:02:59.000 The repositioning of the U.S. grand strategy.

00:03:03.000 This is something that Trump is masterminding with his team, including Hegseth and Bridge Colby,

00:03:09.000 who's one of the bright stars in my opinion, which is why they're trying to take Bridge out.

00:03:13.000 But they have basically, since this summer, been working on a new national security strategy that would reorient our forces away from focusing on European area of command,

00:03:25.000 the Middle East, even the Indo-PACOM area, to prioritizing Western hemispheric defense.

00:03:32.000 The administration has been talking about actually getting rid of AFRICOM. 1.00

00:03:37.000 There was one conversation that happened over the summer about that and merging it with EUCOM, which is European command,

00:03:43.000 and then deprioritizing CENTCOM so that we can send those resources to Northern and Southern command.

00:03:49.000 Those are the areas.

00:03:51.000 And the reason is because the post-Cold War unipolar era of America running the world has been over for a while now.

00:03:59.000 It's just we didn't get the memo.

00:04:02.000 And so Trump has recognized this, and he's reprioritizing our base, that is, our hemisphere, the way that Russia's prioritizing their hemisphere,

00:04:11.000 the way that the Chinese are prioritizing their hemisphere, because the world is now tripolar.

00:04:16.000 It is three powers that are competing with many other powers rising behind it.

00:04:20.000 And if you don't secure your own home front that includes Latin America, South America, and the polar regions, you don't have security at all.

00:04:28.000 And right now the Chinese are crawling all over South America. 1.00

00:04:33.000 You talked about Argentina.

00:04:34.000 I had on my show last night national security talk on Rumble.

00:04:38.000 Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan, who is the leading, she's a good friend, she's the leading expert on the polar regions.

00:04:44.000 She's down in Australia, and she was talking about how the Chinese in Antarctica have basically taken over Antarctica, 0.67

00:04:51.000 and they're building an archipelago of islands into Argentina.

00:04:56.000 Argentina's ports have been conquered by the Chinese.

00:05:00.000 They're civilian ports.

00:05:01.000 We let it happen over the last decade.

00:05:03.000 And they basically have been encroaching on our hemisphere through not only traditional means but also from the South Pole.

00:05:11.000 People don't think about this.

00:05:12.000 So bailing out my lie, while I'm a higher tax bracket, I don't like giving anybody money,

00:05:17.000 but ultimately this was a smart move because we're bailing out Argentina and we're making sure a Marxist doesn't take over there,

00:05:24.000 the kind of Marxists who've been taking over Latin America.

00:05:26.000 Well, as long as, hang on, as long as we get a situation on the soybeans and the beef in the ports that the CCP is out,

00:05:32.000 that is, I'm hearing that's going on, but that's gotta, when you say strategic, that's gotta happen.

00:05:37.000 While you're on that topic, this is the guys in Canada.

00:05:40.000 What President Trump's argument to Canada is, and they've just kind of blew it off,

00:05:44.000 but when he talks about defense, what he's making the point on the Arctic is that Canada is kind of like Ukraine, right?

00:05:52.000 The Chinese and the Russians are up there and they see the undefended Northern territories of Canada. 0.91

00:05:57.000 They're going to take a bite.

00:05:58.000 The Canadians got to understand something.

00:06:00.000 They already are.

00:06:01.000 They're going to intrude in your territory and they're going to dare you to do anything about it.

00:06:05.000 And you're going to turn to big brother.

00:06:07.000 Go ahead.

00:06:08.000 We're getting Alberta is the linchpin.

00:06:10.000 So when Trump says Canada is going to be the 51st state, he's speaking, you know, he's vamping,

00:06:15.000 he's having a little fun.

00:06:16.000 But what he's really saying, because I know a lot of the guys in charge of the Albertan separatist movement

00:06:21.000 or their prosperity movement, Alberta, they've already met twice now with the State Department.

00:06:26.000 The Albertans are ready to vote in the next six months.

00:06:29.000 They're getting out of the Canadian Union.

00:06:31.000 They're going to become an independent state, independent country.

00:06:34.000 We're going to recognize them.

00:06:35.000 And that's going to put them on the pathway to becoming the 51st state.

00:06:39.000 And here's why that's important.

00:06:40.000 Alberta has a bevy of untapped rare earth minerals.

00:06:44.000 They have the world's largest geothermal energy sources.

00:06:48.000 They have the world, some of the world's largest natural gas and oil deposits.

00:06:52.000 So when Trump says Canada is becoming the 51st state, he's really talking about Alberta.

00:06:57.000 And that's important because that's a gateway to the Arctic.

00:07:00.000 Greenland is another gateway to the Arctic.

00:07:02.000 So when we talk about hemispheric defense, we're not just talking about Latin America.

00:07:06.000 We're talking about the polar regions too, Steve, and how they all link together.

00:07:11.000 Give me your thoughts on right now we have our most sophisticated carrier with its, not a full strike force,

00:07:21.000 but enough to get your attention, plus an amphibious ready group with I think 3,000 fleet marines and 1,000 sailors off of Venezuela.

00:07:31.000 And so far we shot up some speed boats with drugs coming up and we've taken them out.

00:07:37.000 But the briefings on Capitol Hill are much deeper than this, right?

00:07:40.000 They're edging up right to the War Powers Act and make sure that there's not going to be any hangups.

00:07:45.000 As you see it right now strategically, what is going on with President Trump and his thinking on Venezuela?

00:07:52.000 Well, it's very interesting.

00:07:54.000 You know, President Trump is the dealmaker in chief and everywhere you look, he's cutting deals.

00:07:58.000 He was offered a deal going into Labor Day weekend.

00:08:01.000 I know because I know one of the men who was the intermediary for the negotiations.

00:08:05.000 He was offered a deal that basically Maduro said, if you give me a boatload of money and an exit visa to my country of choice,

00:08:13.000 I will leave and give you exclusive access to the rare earth mineral deposits, the natural gas, the oil of Venezuela.

00:08:20.000 Just don't kill me.

00:08:21.000 Trump said no.

00:08:23.000 He said, I'm not going to take that deal.

00:08:25.000 I'm going to put a force off your coast. 0.91

00:08:27.000 I think Trump is trying to take Maduro out.

00:08:31.000 And I think this has to do with the 2020 election.

00:08:34.000 I talked to a guy named Ralph Pizzullo who has a book called The Stolen Election Out.

00:08:38.000 And he is convinced that Trump believes that Smartmatic was a Venezuelan company and that they rigged the 2020 election.

00:08:46.000 So this very well could be Trump a revenge play.

00:08:49.000 He wants to also assert our dominance in the region.

00:08:52.000 But he's going to take out Maduro for what he thinks was the, you know, the great 2020 steal.

00:08:58.000 Hang on.

00:08:59.000 You used you used a very interesting term.

00:09:02.000 And it's the first time I've heard it regarding hemispheric defense.

00:09:07.000 Dominance.

00:09:08.000 You used the term dominance.

00:09:10.000 Yeah.

00:09:11.000 Walk me through that.

00:09:12.000 President Trump, full spectrum energy dominance is the basis of the turnaround of the American economy.

00:09:17.000 That's right.

00:09:18.000 Okay.

00:09:19.000 That's right.

00:09:20.000 And this is why Bridge Colby, Bridge Colby, who says, hey, we've got to compete in East Asia.

00:09:27.000 We have to make sure that we stop the CCP threat.

00:09:30.000 We've got to use the Central Pacific as our pivot.

00:09:32.000 But he's a hemispheric guy.

00:09:34.000 Politico, I don't know if my team has it.

00:09:36.000 Politico has a story that they're coming for the scalp.

00:09:39.000 The neocons are coming for the scalp of Bridge Colby.

00:09:42.000 They think Bridge Colby is too weak.

00:09:43.000 That's because they want to put Tom Cotton in the Secretary of Defense's position.

00:09:46.000 This is all about putting Tom Cotton in.

00:09:48.000 They have two great – Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll and Bridge Colby think like the war room and think like the America First movement.

00:09:57.000 We've got to be strong.

00:09:58.000 In fact, we've got to be super strong, but we're not interventionists unless there's some emergency that has to be intervened.

00:10:06.000 Colby and Driscoll are coming up with strategies that the neocons are going crazy.

00:10:10.000 They want to insert Tom Cotton into – or Tom Cotton or Lindsey Graham type person that's all wars all the time everywhere, particularly on the Eurasian landmass.

00:10:21.000 In the Middle East.

00:10:22.000 They want to double and triple down in Ukraine and in the Middle East.

00:10:25.000 They want to take down – they want to be in Tehran. 1.00

00:10:27.000 They want to be in Kiev, right, fighting the Russians, fighting the mullahs, all of it. 1.00

00:10:31.000 And they're bound and determined to turf Bridge Colby out.

00:10:35.000 That's right.

00:10:36.000 So walk me through your assessment.

00:10:37.000 When President Trump – this term – focus on the term dominance.

00:10:40.000 Okay.

00:10:41.000 When he looks at hemispheric defense, this is Trumpian.

00:10:45.000 Yeah.

00:10:46.000 He's looking for dominance in the Western Hemisphere, sir.

00:10:49.000 No, it's 100 percent correct.

00:10:50.000 If you listen to what he's been saying since he was elected, whether it's about Canada, Greenland, or the Panama Canal, and in the case of Venezuela and in Colombia, this is also about getting our people in a position where we can basically put the squeeze on Panama so we can finally get the Panamanians to agree to give us back the canal so we can kick the Chinese out because the Chinese have basically taken over the canal zone. 0.95

00:11:14.000 And so when we talk about dominance, what we're really talking about is controlling the choke points in our hemisphere, Panama Canal being the big one.

00:11:22.000 But we also want to control the Caribbean Sea Basin.

00:11:24.000 We also, like I said, want to have access to the South Pole through Argentina.

00:11:29.000 We want to rebuff China's advances through that region. 0.99

00:11:32.000 And we want to control the Greenland access as well.

00:11:35.000 So what we're talking about is a hemispheric defense, hemispheric dominance strategy where we control the major arteries of the region, of the entire hemisphere, north to south, and everything in between.

00:11:48.000 And so Trump is focusing so far on these big arteries that we can control and go from there.

00:11:54.000 Because if we don't build the foundation in our own hemisphere, there's no competing with China. 0.96

00:11:59.000 Look, China has already taken the first island chain, basically.

00:12:02.000 They're already meddling in the second island chain.

00:12:04.000 Like I said, I talked to Dr. Buchanan last night.

00:12:07.000 Hold it. Hold it. Hang on. Hang on, man.

00:12:09.000 You're in the anti-hangover.

00:12:12.000 Before we get to the island chains.

00:12:14.000 OK, sorry.

00:12:15.000 Some people are going to say, hey, look, I love the way you started about the Islamic problem in Texas and in New York City.

00:12:22.000 You had me there. But now you got and I would love to kill the, you know, stop the cartels and the fentanyl coming through the southern border. 0.99

00:12:29.000 But you're when you say America first, the vision you're laying out is much broader than that. 0.97

00:12:34.000 It goes literally from the Antarctic in Argentina and that horrific sea pass that you get from the Atlantic to the Pacific, still the heart most horrible in the world, all the way up to the Arctic Circle in Canada.

00:12:46.000 You got the Pacific, you know, the big, the pivot in the Pacific.

00:12:51.000 You're biting off a lot that doesn't feel America first.

00:12:54.000 Give me the argument why your argument and many in the Trump administration say, no, you're wrong.

00:12:58.000 This is America first. 0.74

00:12:59.000 To be clear, to be clear, I am very concerned about military action as well in Venezuela.

00:13:05.000 But I will tell you, I'm not advocating for military.

00:13:08.000 I'm advocating for using economic and diplomatic power to get the locals to start playing ball with us rather than China and Russia and Iran.

00:13:17.000 That is the key.

00:13:18.000 And we're so far doing that.

00:13:20.000 The Argentina model is a great model.

00:13:22.000 What we're doing also, the Panamanians are quietly negotiating with us again.

00:13:27.000 So it's working.

00:13:28.000 It's working.

00:13:30.000 Brother, hang on for one second.

00:13:32.000 Will you?

00:13:33.000 Yeah, I'm here.

00:13:34.000 We're going to birchgold.com.

00:13:38.000 Now my, maybe more than ever, you've got to understand how it, when we first started birchgold, I think gold was $1,100 bucks an ounce.

00:13:45.000 Now what, $4,200 is going to bounce around.

00:13:47.000 It's going to bounce around a lot, particularly with times of financial turbulence.

00:13:51.000 Understand how that move got made.

00:13:53.000 Understand the forces that converged from central banks throughout the world to people coming after fiat currency to the de-dollarization.

00:14:02.000 Make sure you understand de-dollarization as well as you're going to understand moral hazard by the end of this week.

00:14:08.000 Understand de-dollarization.

00:14:10.000 How the nations of the earth that own the resources have kind of ganged up on the United States, led by the Chinese Communist Party to say, hey, we don't want to do these transactions in dollars.

00:14:20.000 Why is that important?

00:14:21.000 Because the dollar is the prime reserve currency.

00:14:22.000 Our entire financial system is built on that.

00:14:25.000 How do you learn that?

00:14:27.000 Well, end of the dollar empire, birchgold.com, promo code BANA is now being taught in certain colleges because we give it away for free.

00:15:07.000 And, hey, that's a good thing.

00:15:09.000 But there's a big mistake most people make with their emergency food supply.

00:16:54.000 Jack Posobiec joins us now on a train hurtling towards New York City.

00:16:59.000 What are you doing, Jack?

00:17:01.000 Where are you guys headed?

00:17:02.000 You're going to hook up with Benny Johnson later. 1.00

00:17:04.000 What's going on?

00:17:05.000 Well, Steve, in the war room posse, for anyone who's in the Madison Square Garden area tonight,

00:17:12.000 around 5 o'clock, we are going to be out there with Benny Johnson, Tony Bobulinski, Tanya Tech,

00:17:17.000 and we are going to be handing out 3,000 of the Charlie Kirk Freedom shirts to the attendees,

00:17:23.000 completely for free, of the UFC 322 tonight.

00:17:29.000 So what happens?

00:17:30.000 These are people that you're going to be inside Madison Square Garden early for the UFC event.

00:17:35.000 I think it starts at 7 or something.

00:17:37.000 It's going to be on ESPN tonight.

00:17:39.000 You're going to be there early as attendees come in to give everybody one of those magnificent white Freedom T-shirts?

00:17:45.000 Well, Steve, that's right.

00:17:47.000 Well, Steve, that's right.

00:17:48.000 And the goal, of course, is that we want to get these up on camera.

00:17:50.000 We want people to show the support.

00:17:52.000 We know there's a lot of proud and great Americans that go to UFC.

00:17:55.000 We love the UFC Americans.

00:17:57.000 And people have to remember, too, not only is this a show for media, but don't forget,

00:18:02.000 these are those types of low-prop voters that Starley always urged us to maintain a relationship with.

00:18:11.000 I notice you've got Tony coming today.

00:18:13.000 Is it you're putting forward like the all-Polish team here?

00:18:15.000 What is Tony joining you guys for?

00:18:18.000 Oh, Steve, it's the pierogi gang.

00:18:20.000 What are you talking about?

00:18:21.000 So you've got me, you've got Tony Bobulinski.

00:18:24.000 The pierogi gang is getting back together.

00:18:26.000 Benny Johnson is going to be an honorary member of the pierogi gang.

00:18:29.000 We're going to serve them pierogies, the guamki, the figs in the blanket, the cabasi.

00:18:32.000 It's going to be fantastic.

00:18:34.000 Now, is Benny, you and Benny are going to be streaming this live?

00:18:38.000 Because I know Benny streams everything live, but is he going to be streaming this tonight?

00:18:41.000 Because we want to make sure everybody, we're going to pick it up on our getter and our rumble platforms.

00:18:47.000 Are you guys going to be doing that?

00:18:48.000 At what time will you be doing it?

00:18:50.000 We'll be doing that, I believe, around 5.30.

00:18:53.000 Turning Point, as well, is going to have people there.

00:18:55.000 So we're going to be filming it.

00:18:56.000 We're going to be making videos.

00:18:57.000 We're going to be meeting with people who are there coming into the event.

00:19:00.000 And I think it's going to be a great time.

00:19:02.000 We're also, of course, working with the police department.

00:19:05.000 Mayor Eric Adams has been very supportive, by the way.

00:19:08.000 So for at least the next couple of months, while we have an American mayor, 0.98

00:19:11.000 we can get that kind of police support that we need to keep everybody safe.

00:19:14.000 No, I think it's fantastic.

00:19:17.000 We opened up talking about New York and Texas and this problem with Islam or the Islamification. 0.67

00:19:23.000 What I love is you guys are going to the heart of it now, Beast, as the Ugandan starts to take over from Mayor Adams. 1.00

00:19:28.000 And you're going to the UFC crowd, which, as you know, you couldn't get more MAGA than a UFC crowd, right?

00:19:34.000 But you guys aren't backing off.

00:19:35.000 You're taking Turning Point and going right into the heart of the beast.

00:19:38.000 Look, Steve, Mandami may have won the election, but I don't think he's won the soul of New York City.

00:19:44.000 And as a proud member of what I like to call the urban right, we are not going to give up our cities.

00:19:50.000 We're just not going to do it.

00:19:52.000 Jack, last thing.

00:19:54.000 I know you've got a lot of thoughts and it's tough to do it on a train by phone.

00:19:57.000 But can you just give us a minute or two on your thoughts?

00:20:00.000 We're talking about we've pivoted now.

00:20:02.000 Talk about Latin America.

00:20:03.000 You see this big scandal in the Ukraine that President Trump is going to, I'm sure, talk to Zelensky about.

00:20:08.000 There's a lot happening in Israel, this whole dividing line in Gaza.

00:20:12.000 It looks like we're putting forward a plan to divide Gaza to the U.N. 0.99

00:20:17.000 And I didn't see I saw all Muslim, Arabic, you know, Turks countries, but I didn't see Israel mentioned.

00:20:24.000 But Latin America, something looks like it's going to happen in the next 72 to 90 hours.

00:20:29.000 Your thoughts?

00:20:31.000 Well, Steve, look, we've got the USS Ford.

00:20:33.000 That's 5,000 American sailors aboard our most capable, our most advanced, our most expensive, the most advanced aircraft carrier platform on the face of the planet and on the seven seas.

00:20:45.000 And that is there to exert full spectrum dominance and hemispheric dominance on not just Venezuela, not just the Caribbean, but the entire Western hemisphere.

00:20:56.000 So the hemispheric dominance, that's the term that you and I came up with earlier this morning while we were speaking via phone.

00:21:03.000 And look, we're not we're not in the business of regime change war.

00:21:07.000 We don't support those things.

00:21:08.000 That's not what we want.

00:21:09.000 But we do want to remind everyone is that the United States is turning its eye away from thousands of miles away from every conflict around the planet, every podunk dictator and saying, you know something?

00:21:20.000 It's time that we pay attention to our neighborhood.

00:21:23.000 It's time we pay attention to the Gulf of America.

00:21:25.000 It's time we pay attention to what's going on directly next to our homeland.

00:21:29.000 And that means those those sea lines of communication, those blocks, those choke points in and around the continental north, the continent of North America.

00:21:37.000 And that's, of course, as Ben was talking about, Brandon, the Panama Canal, the GIUK Gap, Greenland.

00:21:45.000 That's what it's all about.

00:21:46.000 And down in South America and the South Pole as well.

00:21:48.000 And, of course, the North Pole.

00:21:49.000 So we've got we've got to rebuild Fortress America on the sea and on the land.

00:21:56.000 Jack Pasoba, can you give your coordinates five to five thirty today?

00:22:00.000 It'll kick off Eastern Standard Time.

00:22:02.000 You got Benny Johnson.

00:22:03.000 You got Tanya Tay.

00:22:04.000 You got Tony Bobulinski.

00:22:05.000 Tony Bobulinski.

00:22:06.000 You've got the Jack Posobiec, Turning Point USA.

00:22:08.000 They're going to the Heart of the Beast, Madison Square Garden to partner up and to meet and greet the UFC fans and to hand out three thousand freedom T-shirts.

00:22:18.000 Charlie Kirk so memorably wore war on the day of his assassination.

00:22:22.000 Where do they go, Jack?

00:22:23.000 What are your coordinates?

00:22:24.000 Well, that's Steve.

00:22:25.000 That's right.

00:22:26.000 We'll be up at Jack Posobiec.

00:22:27.000 And I echo, by the way, what you said about the scandal in Ukraine.

00:22:31.000 We've been talking about the corruption in Ukraine since day one of this war.

00:22:35.000 And we see what's going on down there in Pocrosk.

00:22:37.000 They want to turn Pocrosk into a mass grave because Alinsky is trying to do everything he can to wag the dog and draw attention away from this massive scandal.

00:22:45.000 But it's all been scandals.

00:22:48.000 Unbelievable.

00:22:49.000 Jack, we'll see you at 5, 530 today.

00:22:51.000 We'll have you up on Getter, all of our platforms, Rumble, all of it.

00:22:55.000 Thank you, sir.

00:22:58.000 Jack Posobiec.

00:22:59.000 Thayer, give me your counter.

00:23:04.000 I don't want to talk about the first island chain now.

00:23:06.000 That's a topic for a different day and we've got to go in more in depth.

00:23:09.000 But you have, I think, a little different take on what President Trump's doing with the carrier strike force and the amphibious ready group off of Latin America, sir?

00:23:18.000 Well, Steve, great to join you this morning.

00:23:21.000 I think, sure, what the fourth group is doing is signaling, of course, to Venezuela.

00:23:28.000 As Brendan has mentioned and Jack mentioned, of course, that's very important to signal to Mondero that this could escalate in a way that's not favorable to his interests.

00:23:41.000 But I see what President Trump is doing is really adding his own corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, Steve.

00:23:50.000 Monroe Doctrine said, of course, we're not going to allow Europeans to interfere in the Western Hemisphere. 0.79

00:23:56.000 Roosevelt added a corollary in 1904 where he said the U.S. might use military force to keep the Europeans out.

00:24:04.000 What President Trump is doing is adding his own corollary to Monroe, where he's saying he's not going to tolerate foreign powers, whether they're based in the Western Hemisphere or they're using the Western Hemisphere to hurt the American homeland.

00:24:21.000 So it's really a Monroe Doctrine, which is externally faced, but it's also internally directed because, to my mind, what President Trump is doing is laboring so hard to restore the American spirit, right, to restore American identity, which is so important.

00:24:42.000 Under threat, obviously, from political Islam or under threat from drugs, for example, whether those are the opioids and the synthetic opioids coming from China or other narcotics coming from Latin America.

00:24:59.000 Do you think President Trump is saying we're going to stop this chemical warfare?

00:25:03.000 Do you think the Venezuela has a component that's the Chinese Communist Party?

00:25:09.240 I mean, there are people that come forward and say, hey, why do you say that? Give me a minute on that.

00:25:15.000 Absolutely. Because of the presence that the CCP has in Venezuela, and not only Venezuela, but there.

00:25:24.240 So the CCP wants to use, of course, the Venezuelans against us, right?

00:25:29.760 They want to use Venezuela as a base to hurt us. 1.00

00:25:33.480 Is this part of cleaning out the entire Caribbean of a major infusion of the People's Liberation Navy and what they've got in the Bahamas with these phony embassies that are really military installations?

00:25:48.800 Is this part of that?

00:25:50.760 Certainly. And Cuba, too.

00:25:52.380 We can't forget Cuba and the base that has received some attention, of course, the way the CCP is using Cuba as well.

00:26:00.380 But hang on. Hang on. Hang on.

00:26:01.860 But hang on. Hang on. Is this just Marco and the guys in South Florida?

00:26:05.280 Love them. The Venezuelans, the Cubans. 0.99

00:26:07.160 They believe in the heart of hearts that the march to Havana, you got to go through Caracas.

00:26:13.300 Is this what we're doing or is it really to clear out the Chinese Communist Party and other outside actors in this region? 0.96

00:26:19.900 No, I see it differently.

00:26:23.520 I see Trump is adding muscle to the Monroe Doctrine, right?

00:26:26.280 What Trump is saying is you're not going to hurt the American people using what bases in the Western Hemisphere or using countries in the Western Hemisphere targeting and damaging the American people.

00:26:39.320 We're not going to tolerate that, whether that's China, the Chinese Communist Party, or whether it's other actors, narco, essentially narco terrorists or Cuba.

00:26:52.840 But President Trump has that vision of hemispheric defense, which is absolutely essential.

00:26:59.540 But what hemispheric defense is, to my mind, is a restoration, a major contribution to the restoration of the American spirit, which is what President Trump is after, right?

00:27:11.160 What he's giving the American people and why so many people voted for him.

00:27:17.600 Thayer, we've got to bounce.

00:27:20.400 I want to have you back on Monday and Tuesday.

00:27:22.540 What are your coordinates?

00:27:24.520 You're putting up great writing all the time.

00:27:25.920 Where do folks go?

00:27:27.460 Yeah, Steve, Brad Theron-X or Bradley Theron-Getter and Truth?

00:27:31.980 Thanks very much.

00:27:32.960 A very important discussion.

00:27:35.340 Very important.

00:27:35.980 We're going to continue it because something's going to happen, so we've got to continue it.

00:28:50.540 Donewithdebt.com.

00:28:52.240 War Room.

00:28:53.240 Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.

00:28:55.560 Okay, Secretary of War Pete Hex has put up a tweet, Operation Rough Rider equals freedom of navigation for U.S. ships.

00:29:04.580 Operation Midnight Hammer equals obliteration of Iranian nuclear sites.

00:29:09.420 And then he's got Operation Southern Spear.

00:29:12.800 That is what this battle group off the coast of Venezuela is.

00:29:17.800 South America equals destroyed, narco-terrorists killing Americans. 1.00

00:29:22.660 At POTUS, Trump means business and the world knows it.

00:29:26.060 Peace through strength.

00:29:27.760 The Secretary of War, Brandon Reichert, I know you've got to bounce.

00:29:31.220 Give me a minute summary on your thinking this morning, sir.

00:29:35.820 The overarching theme here is for America first to work, you've got to hold your hemisphere. 0.93

00:29:41.880 We're living in a tripolar world.

00:29:43.780 It's the United States, Russia, and China are the prime players.

00:29:46.840 Those two guys are dealing in their hemispheres, and they're securing it.

00:29:50.460 We have not done the same for ours.

00:29:52.800 So what Trump is trying to do is he's trying to secure all the major flows in the North and South American area and the polar region.

00:30:00.680 If we lose these regions, Steve, we don't have America first.

00:30:04.340 We have basically, we're surrounded and isolated, and we become what the Soviet Union was in the Cold War, contained and isolated by our enemies.

00:30:11.820 We do not want that to happen.

00:30:13.560 Trump's stopping it.

00:30:14.340 Brandon Reichert, social media, where do people go get your writings, your thinking, until you join us back on Monday or Tuesday, sir?

00:30:23.140 Well, right now I'm promoting my new show on Rumble, National Security Talk, NatSecTalk on Rumble.

00:30:29.720 And also, at WeTheBrandon is my Twitter.

00:30:32.040 And you can get my books wherever they're sold.

00:30:34.040 And also, I'm a senior national security editor at the National Interest, which is nationalinterest.org.

00:30:40.140 Are we going kinetic in Venezuela in the next 72 hours, sir?

00:30:45.340 I think in the next 72 hours we will be going kinetic in Venezuela, yes.

00:30:51.160 Boom.

00:30:52.660 Folks, that is a bombshell right there.

00:30:54.540 You believe in the next 72 hours we're going to go kinetic in Venezuela?

00:30:56.940 72 to 96 hours.

00:30:58.420 They were waiting on the carrier.

00:31:00.000 The carrier's there.

00:31:00.740 I spoke to some people affiliated with the carrier.

00:31:03.260 Everybody's jazzed and ready to roll on the carrier.

00:31:05.500 They believe they're going in.

00:31:07.080 I believe that they're going in.

00:31:09.960 Sir, thank you very much.

00:31:11.180 Appreciate you.

00:31:11.880 Thank you.

00:31:12.420 You're up all weekend.

00:31:13.000 We'll see you back here Monday morning.

00:31:14.940 Brandon Reichert.

00:31:17.400 Dave Bratt, thoughts?

00:31:18.480 Yeah, I think President Trump has always had it right.

00:31:23.740 He has a very simple formula called America first that would stop the border invasions, stop the endless wars, stop Biden inflation, do what's good for the working class.

00:31:35.880 He's been spot on with that.

00:31:37.280 That attracted all the young people.

00:31:39.020 I think the establishment Republicans are getting real nervous right now.

00:31:42.320 Hang on.

00:31:42.480 Hang on.

00:31:42.500 I got that.

00:31:43.800 I got that.

00:31:44.280 But if you go kinetic in Venezuela, are you starting a if you go kinetic or the way you go kinetic, are you starting a 20 year civil war down there, sir?

00:31:53.060 Yeah, that's that's a little risky.

00:31:54.800 That's the fault of our CIA and State Department, who should have solved this a few years back.

00:31:59.380 But going out, you know, just look at Ron Paul.

00:32:02.140 Right.

00:32:02.280 He attracted young people with a very simple, consistent message.

00:32:05.740 Trump's got to stick with that consistent message.

00:32:08.340 The establishment people are getting nervous.

00:32:10.560 They're going to offer, you know, Chinese students in here.

00:32:14.280 All sorts of visas to the corporate class.

00:32:16.820 He's got to stick to his guns.

00:32:18.560 On Argentina, there's no problem with the moral hazard thing.

00:32:22.400 Trump's a genius at deal making.

00:32:24.320 Just tie any risk to the currency swaps.

00:32:26.780 It's a currency swap.

00:32:27.640 It's not we're not bailing them out with the huge debt dollars.

00:32:30.780 Just tie that to the rare minerals.

00:32:33.020 And that's a winner.

00:32:34.540 Yeah.

00:32:34.800 And on Venezuela, Maduro, go look at a map.

00:32:37.840 It's right across the water.

00:32:39.160 That's the Monroe Doctrine.

00:32:40.280 And on the corruption with Zelensky, the oligarchs look like they're mapping out a house for him in Florida.

00:32:46.420 By the way, you think that Zelensky actually goes to exile in Florida?

00:32:51.260 It's looking like it.

00:32:52.760 Breitbart today has got a couple oligarchs named.

00:32:55.560 And I've heard other rumors of real estate purchases in Florida.

00:32:58.840 Wow, we've got two bombs.

00:33:01.920 Weichert said we're going kinetic in Venezuela in the next 72 to 96 hours.

00:33:06.020 And Dave Bratt's already got the corruption.

00:33:07.520 He's got an exit strategy for Zelensky to get him to Florida with billionaires.

00:33:10.720 We'll link to the Breitbart article.

00:33:12.340 Dave Bratt, your social media brother.

00:33:15.120 Yep, just Bratt Economics on Getter and X.

00:33:17.940 And the real corruption is the folks in our State Department who didn't listen to Mearsheimer and you three years ago.

00:33:24.700 Amen, brother.

00:33:25.280 By the way, Dave Bratt, yes or no, are we going to go kinetic in Venezuela in the next 72 to 96 hours, sir?

00:33:36.680 Not my lane, as you say, but I would say no.

00:33:40.100 I hope no.

00:33:40.740 We're trying to scare the boots off him, and that's it, I hope.

00:33:45.680 Or send a CIA hit team to take him out.

00:33:48.280 Okay, thank you, Bratt.

00:33:49.140 You're fantastic.

00:33:49.960 Thank you for spending Saturday with us.

00:33:52.120 Moral hazard.

00:33:52.860 You bet.

00:33:53.640 Amazing.

00:33:54.040 Ben Harnwell, talk to me about, give me a couple of minutes on what's happening in Ukraine, and particularly this talk now that Zelensky may be turfed out and heading to Florida, sir.

00:34:06.180 Well, let's start at the end of that question and work back towards the beginning.

00:34:09.760 There are some people who think if that were to happen, if Zelensky were to flee Ukraine, that might hasten the end of the war.

00:34:19.180 I would caution massively against that interpretation.

00:34:22.840 If this were to happen, the reason he would be ejected by his own domestic political class is that he's no longer able to provide the one reason that has sustained him for, what, a year and a half beyond his presidential mandate.

00:34:40.200 And that is, he's no longer bringing in the money, he's no longer bringing in American money, specifically, and there'll be no prospect of that, and that's why they will get rid of him.

00:34:49.980 And presumably bringing someone like General Zelensky, who's currently in exile in London as ambassador, beloved figure by the military, by the Ukrainian people.

00:35:03.280 So that would only mean, the switcheroo would only mean that this war is going to go on and on rather than tidy up quickly.

00:35:10.580 No, Steve, the reason I really want to come onto the show today and share this with the warring posse is this is one of my all-time favorites coming out of Ukraine.

00:35:19.860 You remember we said sort of three years ago how the Ukrainian political class was taking advantage of having gold-plated facials.

00:35:30.220 You remember that? And we all laughed and said, you know, that's, you know, folks, that's where your heart-earned tax dollars are going, right?

00:35:37.820 Can you afford gold-leaf facials? No, but they were being hoovered up by the Ukrainian political class. 0.88

00:35:46.180 Well, there is one thing better than that now.

00:35:47.980 In these raids that have taken place over the last 48 hours in Ukraine, in amongst the different bags, stuff, stuff full of cash, in addition to the sort of, I think, how many sort of 200 hours worth of intercepted phone calls,

00:36:05.460 they found in one of Zelensky's key political operatives, they found a gold, golden toilet, not a gold-plated toilet, Steve, a golden toilet, solid gold.

00:36:20.380 And this is related to the fleeing from Ukraine of Timur Mindich, that's his name, who's diverted up to $100 million worth of illicit funds through his office.

00:36:36.780 Thanks, Denver. Yes, do please put up that photo now. That is it.

00:36:40.940 And that is where your heart-earned dollars have been going, right, Americans?

00:36:47.600 And on the one hand, you know, you think this is outrageous, and on the other hand, to add a lighter note,

00:36:53.280 one can understand, Steve, that the hallowed nostrils of Zelensky and his oligarchs can't be expected to snort cocaine off your common or garden porcelain toilets.

00:37:06.040 They need something more suitable for their station, and there it is, right in front of you.

00:37:11.900 My plea, Steve, I'll hand back to you on this.

00:37:14.420 My plea is to President Trump to withdraw fully, decisively, the United States from the scenario

00:37:25.000 and make it clear to the political class that America is out.

00:37:29.440 Once you kill the hope, the lifeline, then perhaps this war might end.

00:37:33.960 They're doing the raids because the corruption is so out of control, as we said.

00:37:38.040 They're doing the raids to try to cover, you know, they're trying to do something so they can continue to get more money.

00:37:42.040 It's not going to work. This thing is going to collapse.

00:37:44.240 It's been a disaster. You have a million and a half Ukrainians dead. 1.00

00:37:47.440 You've got a million and a half Russians. You've got three million people dead or wounded.

00:37:50.680 The place looks like Dresden in 1945.

00:37:53.460 It's revolting what's happening. Now you're seeing all the theft that we've talked about for years.

00:37:57.320 Ben Harnwell, social media over the weekend. We'll get you back up on Monday.

00:38:01.020 Great job on the shows on Wednesday and Friday. Where do people get you this weekend with your beady-eyed commentary?

00:38:07.860 My beady-eyed cynicism, my unblinking reptilian eyes will be following the news over the rest of this weekend.

00:38:18.600 And you're right. It is disgraceful. It is disgusting, this grift.

00:38:21.800 They are thieving hand over fist. 0.98

00:38:24.920 Getter, Steve, my social media platform of choice.

00:38:28.140 Tap in my surname, Harnwell, and there I am.

00:38:32.160 Getter.

00:38:32.460 From your perch in the Eternal City, yes or no?

00:38:35.060 Do we go kinetic in Venezuela in the next 72 to 96 hours, sir?

00:38:40.500 I'm with Dave Blatt on this. I hope not.

00:38:44.220 Sir, thank you very much. Look forward to seeing you Monday.

00:38:46.580 We'll follow you on Getter over the weekend.

00:38:48.200 Ben Harnwell, head of our international desk out of Rome.

00:38:55.740 Nothing could be more urgent, I think, in everything that's going on is make America healthy again.

00:39:00.360 It's actually a healthy movement. Claire Dooley's here.

00:39:03.180 So this summit the other day was closed to the media, right?

00:39:07.720 But you had one big hitter after the other.

00:39:09.740 In fact, J.D., I haven't had a chance to play it. I will play it Monday.

00:39:12.000 He actually was up there with Bobby Kennedy and gave a great, I think, summary of America First and MAGA about in Appalachia and the folks that he kind of came from and, I guess, eastern Ohio.

00:39:22.520 Claire Dooley, you've now had a chance to kind of analyze this and write a piece about it.

00:39:26.700 We've got about four minutes here and you're going to hold you through the break.

00:39:28.860 What do you got for us?

00:39:30.080 Yeah, so I just wrote a piece called Inside the Maha Summit, an ex-vaxxer's take. 0.75

00:39:34.540 So it'll be released on the Maha Report.

00:39:36.540 A whose take?

00:39:37.120 An ex-vaxxer's take, which we can dive into what an ex-vaxxer means.

00:39:41.160 An ex-vaxxer.

00:39:42.780 Yes.

00:39:43.820 I think often in the media we get called anti-vaxxers, that we're anti-something, right?

00:39:48.700 Like we want to take away someone's right to vaccinate, you know, that all of us just completely hate vaccines.

00:39:53.820 And that's not really the case.

00:39:54.840 I mean, within my family, we did the thing, right?

00:39:58.200 We vaccinated and then suffered the consequences.

00:40:01.240 You had all the vaxxers as a little kid?

00:40:03.420 I didn't, actually.

00:40:04.620 But at a certain point, I was caught up and I had five in one day, which has never been studied.

00:40:09.200 And subsequently experienced some reactions.

00:40:13.460 And so at that point, my mom looked into it and learned that vaccines also, some vaccines contain aborted fetal tissues.

00:40:21.180 And so for our family, that was something that we decided we no longer wanted to do.

00:40:26.180 And that was one of the reasons why.

00:40:28.360 Following religious or spiritual and cultural perspective.

00:40:31.120 Right.

00:40:31.440 So it's not that we're anti-anything.

00:40:33.400 But my personal choice is that we're not going to vaccinate.

00:40:37.580 So that's my take on the Maha Summit, right?

00:40:40.580 I'm coming from that perspective.

00:40:41.640 I've been making documentaries for 10 years on health freedom and the vaccine freedom movement.

00:40:49.020 And so walking into a room full of biotech bureaucrats is definitely not something that was on my checklist.

00:40:57.600 And corporatist.

00:40:58.500 And corporatist, right.

00:40:59.560 We're watching corporatism.

00:41:00.600 So I know we mentioned before when I came on, there was Yankopoulos, George Yankopoulos of Regeneron, DJ Sayo of Neuralink.

00:41:10.200 So you had folks like that in the room, Cole Carney of CRISPR.

00:41:15.200 And so the article is really my experience of going to the Maha Summit.

00:41:19.580 And from start to finish, what's going through my mind as someone who has this background and is experiencing Maha Summit.

00:41:27.460 You come as a – we're going to go to break here in a second.

00:41:29.400 You come from an activist.

00:41:31.720 You're a filmmaker, but it's mainly from the activist base of the Children's Health Defense.

00:41:36.000 And the people that, quite frankly, were considered absolute wingnuts but now have Bobby Kennedy as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

00:41:43.780 And you have President Trump not just flying air cover.

00:41:48.180 President Trump in the Roosevelt Room presentation he did about autism and the vaccines, I mean, he's almost as big an advocate as Bobby Kennedy.

00:41:57.160 So to come as a most marginal group and now get to the summit, give me a couple words.

00:42:03.760 We've got about 30 seconds before we go to break.

00:42:05.560 As you see where you guys have come and you've seized power in the imperial capital and now you've got a bunch of tech – let's be blunt – a bunch of tech bros looking to grift off the system, right?

00:42:17.200 What were your thoughts?

00:42:18.860 I think this is a chance for Maha to seize that kind of power in a way that we can be responsible, right?

00:42:25.720 The pharmaceutical industry has failed us, but we have big tech, biotech coming up, and this is the moment where we can –

00:42:31.940 What do you mean seize power?

00:42:32.760 The argument is they're going to seize power.

00:42:34.520 You're saying right now, okay, okay, from the mouth of babes, let's take a short commercial break.

00:42:39.800 I think this is what people want to hear.

00:42:41.300 A lot of the activists are saying, what in the hell is going on here?

00:42:44.300 Short commercial break.

00:42:45.540 Claire Dooley on a hostile takeover of the Maha movement in a moment.

00:42:51.880 You know, I didn't know this until the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the experts, told me about it and then gave me information.

00:43:00.120 It was fascinating.

00:43:00.700 We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age.

00:43:05.720 Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it.

00:43:13.560 Here's the thing.

00:43:14.700 Because Americans eat so many processed and ultra-processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables,

00:43:21.100 many, perhaps most, are 10 years older on the inside than their actual age.

00:43:28.580 They're ticking time bombs.

00:43:32.180 A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb.

00:43:38.280 Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens.

00:43:41.400 That's all.

00:43:42.640 They didn't change their eating, drinking, or exercise.

00:43:44.960 Just Field of Greens.

00:43:46.160 I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging.

00:43:50.540 And I encourage you to join me.

00:43:52.240 Swap your untested fruit, vegetable, or green drink for Field of Greens while there's time.

00:45:08.720 Birchgold.

00:45:09.100 Claire Dooley.

00:45:09.920 The floor is yours, ma'am.

00:45:11.760 So we were just talking about an article I wrote called Inside the Maha Summit, an ex-vaxxers take. 0.92

00:45:18.960 And, you know, we've been talking about, you know, the big tech takeover type themes when it comes to the Maha space.

00:45:27.380 I kind of wanted to share a little bit, too, about some of the details in my article.

00:45:30.240 And, Steve, you know, at a summit, the most important thing that doesn't actually happen on stage, it happens in the conversations in the room.

00:45:39.780 Correct?

00:45:40.000 And not in the room, not in the deal.

00:45:42.900 That's the key thing.

00:45:44.040 Not in the room, not in the deal.

00:45:45.700 Right?

00:45:45.900 You're right.

00:45:46.700 It's the breakout meetings.

00:45:48.600 It's the conversations behind the stage.

00:45:50.580 So is the grassroots movement in the room?

00:45:55.280 Absolutely.

00:45:55.760 They're in the room.

00:45:56.360 Okay.

00:45:56.540 And this is something that I feel very empowered by.

00:45:59.280 I mean, I talked with Lee Rosebush.

00:46:01.980 He basically has all these compounding pharmacies.

00:46:05.880 He's working on moving compounding into the U.S. and moving it from China and India.

00:46:12.480 So I actually mentioned to him, hey, you know, look, there's a bunch of vaccine-injured folks.

00:46:16.920 I mean, what are you doing about that?

00:46:18.300 And he had a lot of meaningful comments to say about it.

00:46:22.220 You had people sitting in the room like Scott Morris from Walmart.

00:46:25.960 He's a Walmart executive.

00:46:27.520 Walmart has just promised to remove a majority of their synthetic additives in their private label brand,

00:46:34.400 which mainly affects people of lower income like my folks back in Mississippi.

00:46:39.400 I mean, most of them do their shopping at Walmart.

00:46:42.100 That's a huge Maha win.

00:46:44.160 In the room, there was also a guy named David Light of Valashur.

00:46:47.720 So Valashur is one of the companies that found toxic chemicals in a lot of sunscreen brands that have been cleared by the FDA.

00:46:57.940 And he said no.

00:47:00.500 They did the testing.

00:47:01.520 They found that it was toxic.

00:47:02.580 And a lot of those sunscreens were then subsequently recalled.

00:47:06.040 That guy is in the room, right?

00:47:08.320 He's saying, hey, we're going to hold the FDA accountable.

00:47:10.660 If the FDA isn't going to do their job, we're going to do their job for them.

00:47:14.060 I don't think that's a bad thing, right?

00:47:15.920 And that's considered biotech.

00:47:17.800 So I think whenever it comes to even a guy named Ed Clay, he has this amazing cancer treatment center in Mexico.

00:47:28.780 He's sitting in the room.

00:47:30.000 His mom was a victim of the pharmaceutical industry.

00:47:33.220 Here's the only thing.

00:47:34.100 I want everybody.

00:47:35.080 So Grace and Mo, if you can take this article, I want to push it out to everybody.

00:47:38.580 I want people to read it.

00:47:39.360 But here's my point.

00:47:40.500 And I want to have you back on.

00:47:41.980 And Tony Lyons is also going to join us.

00:47:44.140 And I think Sophia Kastens was there.

00:47:46.440 Sophia is going to join us on.

00:47:48.300 She's got some thoughts on really Prisoner's Dilemma AI.

00:47:51.220 And she's got some very definitive thoughts about this summit.

00:47:54.880 What Nicole Shanahan, the Children's Health Defense, and Bobby Kennedy, and what you guys did 10 years of your life, decade of these films,

00:48:02.080 you took what was considered a quite marginal group.

00:48:05.020 And you showed immense political power by kind of partnering up.

00:48:09.460 Let's say right now the junior partner to the MAGA movement with President Trump won a tremendous victory.

00:48:14.760 And you have Bobby Kennedy, and it confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, which if you had said this a couple of years ago, people would have said that's total madness.

00:48:22.800 It has come because you have rallied the American people on a grassroots basis.

00:48:26.940 You guys had no big money.

00:48:28.660 In fact, you had all the big money against you.

00:48:30.700 My point.

00:48:32.080 Everybody in that room that comes from corporate America is a wolf, okay?

00:48:37.040 They're going to do some good things, all those good things, because you put continual pressure or show economic opportunities for them.

00:48:44.440 Nobody is there to help the Make America Healthy Again movement.

00:48:48.260 They are anti-grassroots.

00:48:50.000 It's like they're anti-MAGA on the other tech bros.

00:48:52.260 It's just the nature of the structure of those industries and how they apply capital to it.

00:48:56.800 So this is why I think people – now you have a creme de la creme of the biotech industry sitting there licking their chops as the little lambs of Make America Healthy Again come through.

00:49:08.080 And I think people are the Claire Dooley's and the Cole Shanahan's and all these grassroots people have been fighting for years.

00:49:15.040 Are you guys smart enough and tough enough to understand that you've seized some power, but people are trying to come and they're trying to take over the movement?

00:49:23.720 And that's what I'm saying.

00:49:24.720 No, Tony Lyons, others would disagree with me.

00:49:26.940 That's my own beady-eyed cynicism that I get from Ben Harnold.

00:49:30.140 Where do people go to get this article?

00:49:31.640 You did a great job on this.

00:49:32.760 So where do they go?

00:49:33.400 So you can go to the Maha Report and subscribe, mahareport.com.

00:49:38.280 Subscribe.

00:49:38.700 You'll see this article coming out.

00:49:40.420 And absolutely, Steve, we are not going away.

00:49:42.180 We're a major –

00:49:42.740 Are you going to win this fight or not?

00:49:44.120 Is the grassroots of Maha going to win this fight?

00:49:46.300 It's already won, in my opinion.

00:49:47.820 Wow.

00:49:48.020 It's just a matter of time.

00:49:49.160 It's a matter of getting over the finish line.

00:49:50.680 In your face, Ben.

00:49:51.700 And then, okay, Monday we're going to drill down into this, hopefully.

00:49:54.560 Tej Gill, 18 tours defending your country as a patriot.

00:49:58.400 You've got to carry a battle group off with a lot of Navy SEALs on it, fleet Marines, all of it.

00:50:02.320 Just 250th birthday of the Navy, the Marine Corps.

00:50:06.300 The great – these institutions are magnificent.

00:50:09.440 Tell me what guys are thinking about as they sit off the coast of Venezuela right now, sir.

00:50:12.860 Yeah, 16 times.

00:50:15.440 But I think – I mean, everybody's ready to go in.

00:50:19.920 I heard what the guys on your show were saying earlier about the invasion of Venezuela is imminent in the next 72 to 96 hours.

00:50:27.080 I don't know about that.

00:50:28.580 I think when you secure objective, you need concentric rings of security.

00:50:33.820 And I think that's what this is.

00:50:37.020 The objective to security is the United States of America. 0.57

00:50:39.640 The first ring of security is going to be your border patrol, the wall that Trump is building.

00:50:44.660 And then another ring of security is going to be the Gulf of America, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean.

00:50:50.980 With this aircraft carrier battle group down there, the strike group down there, right now what we're doing is containment.

00:50:56.560 We're containing Venezuela. 0.96

00:50:57.980 Venezuela, you know, the U.S. is not going to be contained.

00:51:02.020 Venezuela is the one being contained.

00:51:04.100 And, I mean, we can invade.

00:51:05.940 If we do invade, it's going to – we're not going to know about it.

00:51:10.000 What's going to happen, we need three elements to conduct a successful strike.

00:51:15.200 That's speed, surprise, and violence of action, just like Trump did in Iran.

00:51:21.300 We didn't know that Iran hit was coming.

00:51:23.460 They did it with speed, surprise, and violence of action.

00:51:25.700 It was over quick.

00:51:26.360 So if we do invade Venezuela, it'll be quick, it'll be decisive, and it's going to be violent. 0.78

00:51:34.160 And then hopefully we'll get out quick.
