Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 373： Deconstructing The Military Industrial Complex

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:13.540 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:21.300 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:27.080 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:32.160 this is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:35.920 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:43.040 stephen k bannon okay welcome thursday 14 september year of roller 2023 thanks for uh sticking around

00:00:50.740 for the second hour all week we've been trying to take these major uh topics and tie it to

00:00:57.380 the reality of the chinese communist party's involvement in um in uh elite capture and

00:01:04.660 really controlling the united states america it's kind of what the basis of this impeachment effort

00:01:08.880 is and we're trying to get folks particularly the war and posse to understand the depth of this

00:01:13.980 and the importance of seeing this thing through to the to the bitter end of everything that's going

00:01:17.900 also to arm you and weaponize you in this fight that's obviously uh going to be cataclysmic over

00:01:25.120 this uh continuing resolution the budget all of it in the next couple of days uh the woke and

00:01:30.520 weaponized armed forces so frank gaffney joins us he's my co-host for all of these frank we got an

00:01:36.460 incredible panel again today that you put together i'm gonna toss it to you but you talk about the

00:01:41.300 destruction of the u.s military the soviet union had a different the stalin had a different thing what he did is lined up

00:01:47.900 he just showed child he shot all the senior generals or folks that were still around from the from the uh

00:01:54.360 from the czars he got rid of them that way and put in people that he wanted is uh is uh not that we

00:02:01.100 would go to that depths but isn't that the easiest way to do this is just do what uh what coach

00:02:07.400 tuberville's doing because now they're saying it's going to take 700 hours to get through what coach

00:02:11.800 tuberville's done all the woke guys that he's not approving just we just say okay all of you guys are

00:02:17.400 immediately retired is that one way to straighten this mess out or is it deeper and more systemic

00:02:22.800 in that is that what you're going to show me in this hour steve we are going to show the systemic

00:02:29.640 rot that is now afflicting the united states military in the course of this hour and it builds on as you

00:02:37.380 say of the three programs that we've done in the course of this week especially um tuesdays which is

00:02:43.660 really one that i commend everybody about how the marxists uh specifically the chinese communist

00:02:51.720 party but their friends here in the united states and that is of course the subtitle of our new book

00:02:58.900 the indictment uh prosecuting the chinese communist party and friends for crimes against america china

00:03:07.120 and the world uh you published it at the war room imprint i'm very proud to say it gave us a forward

00:03:12.660 to it but the friends piece of this is uh what has been absolutely critical to the takedown or as

00:03:21.880 barack obama would put it the fundamental transformation of the united states military

00:03:27.260 um friends like joe biden and yesterday we talked about at length the compromise

00:03:34.840 really doesn't begin to describe it the capture of china's friend in the white house their

00:03:42.600 um uh controlled asset as sam fattis properly put it you put all this together and unfortunately

00:03:50.440 combined not only with what i think of as obama biden 3.0 the term that we're in right now but the

00:04:00.380 previous two obama biden terms the assault on the military that began in earnest shortly after

00:04:09.260 barack obama became president with the firing of many of the warriors the people that you want

00:04:17.920 running our nation's military and their replacement with people who were willing to go along with the

00:04:26.140 uh some call it woke i think that's again very misleading the cultural marxist agenda we're going

00:04:32.800 to talk about all of this and really lay out bring the receipts as you like to say steve about who's

00:04:40.280 involved about the extent to which they have been using the so-called diversity equity inclusion agenda

00:04:50.740 to uh effect this kind of fundamental transformation the consequences that it's having on the readiness

00:04:59.540 on the uh morale on the deterrent quality of our military and then we're going to talk about how

00:05:08.420 how perilous all this is in the context of something that has been a theme throughout this

00:05:13.160 series of programs and the body of work that we're drawing upon for them namely the work of the

00:05:18.360 committee on the present danger china with it's 110 plus webinars at presentdangerchina.org namely

00:05:25.600 the fact that the chinese communist party under xi jinping seems poised and perhaps is in the process

00:05:33.720 of beginning to wage a shooting war against the united states this is no time to have the military

00:05:41.920 of our country uh disarmed demoralized or otherwise incapable of providing for the national defense

00:05:51.160 so we're going to start with carol swain a woman who has uh been featured prominently in recent weeks

00:05:58.520 uh as a result of uh your attention which is well placed on her brave and important new book

00:06:06.380 the adversity of diversity dr swain of course is well known to this audience she's been a tenured

00:06:13.360 professor at princeton and vanderbilt brought herself up by the bootstraps uh demonstrating the

00:06:20.120 american dream is still alive and well and she is going to help us understand the cultural marxist 0.67

00:06:27.140 character and roots of this agenda and uh talk about the dangers for our military we're going to

00:06:33.520 talk with will thibault he's the director of the center the american military project i should say at the

00:06:41.940 claremont institute in washington dc um he's an army ranger veteran combat experienced and uh leading

00:06:52.120 the fight these days to try to make sure that people understand the importance of what senator

00:06:58.160 tuberville is doing to put a hold on these uh well these generals and admirals and others who are poised

00:07:05.240 to become generals and admirals uh but who are embracing by some extraordinary percentage this agenda

00:07:13.080 which has the takedown of our military as its purpose and then finally we're going to hear from a great

00:07:19.400 warrior um colonel grant newsham united states marine corps retired the author most recently of when

00:07:27.400 china attacks he's going to put in very sharp context for us the perilous nature of doing all of this to

00:07:35.180 the armed forces of the united states at the moment when china may well be poised to attack so i'd propose

00:07:42.980 that we go to carl swain directly if we can steve at this point let's bring a dr swain dr swain to

00:07:51.460 frank's uh you've done tremendous work and talk about academia you've talked about corporations you've

00:07:57.940 talked about the government what about the military is is the is the is the is is wokeness d-e-i-e-s-g-c-r-t

00:08:06.820 or the unholy trinity of those uh destroying uh the last great institution of the american republic ma'am

00:08:15.540 yes i would agree with frank that we saw dramatic changes take place during the obama administration

00:08:23.460 what we saw was a purging of the generals who took seriously their oath of office to defend america

00:08:32.600 against foreign and domestic enemies and i believe that they have transformed the military

00:08:38.760 already to the point that the traditional men and women that came from military families from small

00:08:46.440 towns they would be less likely to enlist in today's military because it is so anti-christian

00:08:55.080 and anti-traditional values and principles

00:09:02.920 walk through for a second i want to take all three of those the the the dei the esg and the uh

00:09:09.640 in the uh in the crt so how do you see that actually the practicality of of of of transforming the

00:09:16.600 military today i mean it all ties together with issues that i uh spoke about a couple of years ago

00:09:25.000 in my book black eye for america how critical race theory is burning down the house and it is

00:09:32.520 literally burning down the house the house is aflame and with um you know this culture marxism and 0.88

00:09:41.000 critical race theory it seeks to destroy traditional institutions whether it's the family the church

00:09:49.160 the government the legal system anything that is traditionally rooted it seeks to destroy

00:09:56.440 and with critical race theory it argues that uh that racism is in the dna of white people

00:10:05.240 and that all of our institutions are systemically racist uh that all white people in their institutions

00:10:12.920 are oppressive they have to be dismantled and torn down and you asked about so that's sort of the

00:10:19.960 argument behind critical race theory it is rooted in cultural marxism that comes from economic marxism

00:10:26.600 and carl marx and uh it has been very successful in infiltrating and uh and dismantling institutions from

00:10:37.400 within and so they have played the long game many of us have been blind and we have not uh heeded the

00:10:44.840 warnings that a scholar like cleon scalson who wrote the naked communists in 1958 and he published 45 current

00:10:55.720 at that time communist goals it was read into the congressional record in 1963. if you read those

00:11:04.760 current back then goals i would say that they have all been uh attained and that america is

00:11:12.920 i mean it's it's teetering on the edge of a precipice it wouldn't take anything but a strong

00:11:19.480 gust of wind to blow it over the edge and that's where we are and we are at the point where our nation

00:11:27.640 sometimes it feels like it's already lost and esg that's the globalism part of it that puts pressure

00:11:33.880 on the corporations to set in place something very much like the uh social credits system they have

00:11:41.800 in china where they evaluate corporations based on their willingness to institute those dei uh goals

00:11:51.720 that have been handed down to them and so corporations are afraid to say no because it's

00:11:57.800 tied to the financial markets and tied to so many things that corporations depend on

00:12:05.000 steve can i mention when i was in the uh middle yeah yeah jump in jump in jump in

00:12:09.240 budget i just wanted to try to drill down on this point because carol's again extraordinarily courageous

00:12:15.400 in talking about this but crt is racist of course and one of the reasons why we're having this

00:12:24.440 conversation is we've had all of this kind of showcased uh of course in the in the holes that

00:12:30.680 senator troubleville has placed but specifically in the context of the nomination by joe biden of

00:12:39.400 general cq brown the current chief of staff of the air force to become the next top military officer in

00:12:46.200 the country and he's a black general he has had a record of service as a combat uh fighter pilot and

00:12:56.360 served in a number of important positions over the subsequent years but he embraces full on this agenda

00:13:05.240 he has become one of its most aggressive champions inside the air force and we'll be talking more

00:13:11.320 shortly with will tubo about the damage that that's done but just carol to this point um

00:13:17.800 general brown as a black officer has been kind of given a pass even though he is promoting a kind

00:13:24.280 of racist agenda as you know i think about general brown you know he worked his way up through the ranks

00:13:31.320 and he probably on his way up uh he probably adhered to traditional norms and values he was well

00:13:38.040 respected but once the biden administration and the obama administration came to power they encouraged

00:13:45.800 everyone to embrace their vision of diversity equity and inclusion which is strongly connected to

00:13:53.720 critical race theory and the cultural marxism and so you have people who quote used to be normal

00:14:00.440 that have embraced these goals to the detriment of the u.s military because they are engaged in social

00:14:07.320 engineering rather than the mission and goal of the military to defend us against foreign and domestic

00:14:13.640 enemies and they have totally wrecked the u.s military i am uh you know sure and you probably have data on it

00:14:22.760 that the kinds of men and women who used to enlist in the u.s military that they would not do so

00:14:29.640 today because they would be harassed they would be singled out we know that the number of rapes of

00:14:35.640 men in the military that all of these horrible things have happened because we are not we're not

00:14:42.280 who we used to be but we're encouraging a vision of diversity that's very destructive in every way 1.00

00:14:50.440 can i also say steve we talked about this yesterday about the the extent to which there are political

00:14:55.400 commissars in the military that are enforcing all of this just as carol says the dei officers that

00:15:03.400 are being attached to you know the ranks all the way down to try to make sure that everybody outside

00:15:09.480 the outside of the chain no outside the chain commander pierce dr swain i just you get help the audience here

00:15:16.280 when i was in the military in the mid-70s to early 80s but the military prided itself in being

00:15:24.680 colorblind and and i think it was the institution at the leading edge that um african americans asians

00:15:33.080 hispanics could actually get a better place in society an education a job that had meaning and then get

00:15:41.240 get them get folks ready for going on the outside what was i mean they've taken the greatest

00:15:46.840 institution we had in the country and i think the institution at one point in time now there were

00:15:51.800 problems obviously earlier but one point particularly one you know by the the 70s and 80s when president

00:15:57.720 reagan came in that was essentially colorblind and and now have gone at that totally totally with with

00:16:06.040 with tooth and claw ma'am well steve the military used to be pointed to as the institution uh it was

00:16:15.400 the model of what we wanted to achieve in society and um and all of that's certainly been destroyed but

00:16:23.640 i know that in my lifetime for people that came from backgrounds like mine most of them didn't end up

00:16:29.240 where i did but if they went into the military they were able to get training and education they used

00:16:35.080 the gi bill and they became very uh successful and they loved america there was no hatred of america

00:16:42.200 it took people um from you know every social economic class but it was a way up for people who were

00:16:50.360 disadvantaged i don't believe that is the case any longer because we're teaching our young people to

00:16:56.280 hate america and so they hate the military they don't see the value in the military but yes the

00:17:02.440 u.s military used to be the model of what we hope to achieve and and at the time you can call it

00:17:09.800 affirmative action i don't know if that was the right name for it but the military was known for

00:17:15.160 equal opportunity and non-discrimination and for the emphasis on the fact that we all bleed uh red blood

00:17:22.680 that there's no difference in the blood we bleed yeah and the danger is if you don't if you don't

00:17:29.880 support that program uh you wind up with a military that lacks cohesion uh unit cohesion especially and

00:17:37.080 the morale is sapped and so on which which really brings us to the point of how how extensive is this

00:17:44.520 rot steve and and if we could talk with will tebow about work that he's been doing researching as uh

00:17:52.040 carol talked about some of the statistics on recruitment yes but also on the people that are

00:17:57.720 in place today and their embrace of this agenda will are you there frank steve yeah thanks and it's

00:18:07.400 it's great to talk with you both it's uh it's a troubling it's a troubling time for much of what dr

00:18:12.920 swain talked about but senator tuberville's hold on military promotions provides the opportunity for

00:18:18.520 us to assess just who exactly is in uniform and leading our armed forces and it's not merely the

00:18:25.800 fact that a lot of these generals and admirals are uh spouting progressive uh social policies on twitter

00:18:33.880 or even in public official events you know to the tune of 42 of those who have been nominated for

00:18:39.720 promotion but it's that that is such a departure from the military ideal that was established by

00:18:45.400 the generals like william sherman blackjack pershing and george marshall to almost disdain

00:18:52.360 political involvement much less public advocacy for blatantly political ideology like dei or critical

00:19:00.600 race theory and so i think it's part of our job part of your viewers job to uh expect the military to

00:19:07.160 reclaim that sense of the military profession uh and for for a positive affirmation that that merit

00:19:14.120 must be the foundation of every decision made about the military and that's not too high of a standard

00:19:19.240 for us to hold uh you know hold our senior military officers accountable for and and just to clarify

00:19:27.000 you said 42 percent of the people on the list that uh joe biden wants promoted have embraced publicly

00:19:35.160 this agenda yes by our count you know it's i think it's at 310 officers as of today and 42 percent

00:19:43.480 have publicly advocated for along some sense of a spectrum have publicly advocated for this kind

00:19:49.960 of politicization of the department of defense and to bring those kinds of political decisions into

00:19:54.360 military yeah um military decisions yeah well well pull the camera back for a second because i want to i

00:20:00.680 i don't think even our audience is up to speed enough on what tupper because tupperville they're

00:20:05.000 screaming at him he's a radical on abortion everything like that it's deeper than that explain what coach

00:20:10.200 tupperville is trying to accomplish and and in this process because today they're saying that 700 hours

00:20:17.720 to approve everybody it's going to be the american military is going to uh to cave to the chinese 1.00

00:20:23.000 companies to the pla all of it walk people through exactly what tupperville is doing and what he he is

00:20:28.280 exposing in this process at the start on february 16th steve the department of defense announced

00:20:34.920 that they would pay for the travel and expenses associated with service members and their dependents

00:20:42.360 getting abortions the travel and and to boot they would also get time off for seeking those kinds of 0.91

00:20:47.880 procedures um you know this is a brand new policy it's it is against the law and i'll take senator

00:20:55.000 tupperville at his word that he's trying to change that policy but what i think the outrage from the

00:21:00.680 establishment media the military industrial complex and the democrats is about is losing the unrestricted

00:21:08.040 unregulated uh access to military promotions that they have enjoyed for decades it was unthinkable for

00:21:16.360 any senator to meaningfully hold up military promotions even though democrats have exercised that power

00:21:22.680 too but for whatever reason senator tupperville's decision is the first time that there is a

00:21:27.160 genuine threat to the military skirting congressional oversight and the genuine civilian control of the

00:21:33.720 department of defense to put into power those who they want to lead at the highest echelons of the

00:21:39.720 military's chain of command that's why senator schumer won't even bring the highest ranking nominees up for

00:21:46.360 a vote he wants to maintain he wants the military and the military wants to maintain a hold on this

00:21:53.080 process so congressional oversight can never risk this kind uh this kind of a window into the people

00:22:00.760 who are leading our nation's military again that that's that's why there's the outrage that's why not

00:22:06.120 even a single general or admiral's promotion has come up for a vote because they can never return to a

00:22:12.520 world where there is genuine oversight and again that's the standard that that groups like the

00:22:17.160 claremont institute and many of your viewers should hold their elected representatives towards

00:22:21.640 we have a right to understand who's leading our military steve we talked about this in the first

00:22:27.320 yeah yeah yeah yeah but hang on i just frank you guys explain this to me why correct me if i'm wrong

00:22:35.160 why are there not 45 republican senators that have his back every time he walks to the sticks it at

00:22:42.440 least appears to me he's on an island he's one man alone we're all the other big talking uh lindsey

00:22:49.720 graham and all these guys are the super hawks that want to spend two trillion dollars in defense and

00:22:53.560 ship 100 billion dollars ukraine where is does anybody have coach tuberville's back i'll highlight the

00:23:00.440 the tremendous support senator mike lee has given coach tuberville and he deserves a lot of credit

00:23:05.320 for going out of his way uh to back him here senators like jd vance have also expressed support but you're

00:23:12.120 right steven this really reveals the dichotomy in the republican party um that even when it comes to

00:23:20.120 a supposedly conservative issue like abortion uh or or identity politics in the military many of these

00:23:28.360 senators are only willing uh to hold the department of defense so accountable they're not willing to

00:23:35.320 hold their budget you know on the hostage negotiating table they're not willing to risk you know the

00:23:41.480 gravy train you know continuing full speed ahead just for example frank brought up cq brown's nomination

00:23:47.000 hearing he's kind of the par excellence of of how this polarization has happened at the nomination

00:23:51.880 hearing there's only one senator eric schmidt of missouri who asked him about the racial quotas

00:23:57.560 that general brown imposed on the air force officer admissions process it's it's it shows that

00:24:04.280 republican senators a lot of them at least have other priorities than actually ensuring the military

00:24:10.920 is a political functional and accountable and that's very disturbing frank this is for you because

00:24:16.600 you've spent your life at this how can we even talk about the systemic things we have to get to

00:24:23.000 if the lords in the senate aren't even prepared to go to something this is and i say this is deeper than

00:24:29.800 abortion it's it's it's about the political correctness and the woken weaponized how can we

00:24:35.160 have a conversation about how you get to the systemic if you're not able to actually back tuberville

00:24:41.240 on something that's so clear and so obvious about how what we need to do to get our to get our hands

00:24:46.680 around this and get control from the republican side well more to the point so much a part of their

00:24:52.840 job we i was just going to say steve though we talked about in our first show this week about the

00:25:00.120 globalist um agenda the the global governance scheme that they're using a kind of soft coup to

00:25:07.800 take down our sovereignty and and i think it was you who pointed out that under our constitution the

00:25:14.120 framers created a quality control mechanism called the united states senate to prevent people from

00:25:21.720 blowing through a treaty process fundamental changes of our country well they also gave the united states

00:25:30.120 senate the responsibility of being the quality control agent for the united states military and other you

00:25:38.360 know other uh you know critical appointments but here's the thing i think part of it and i'm so glad

00:25:45.480 carol's with us because she has been calling this out as we all should because cq brown is black i think he 1.00

00:25:55.480 has been given a pass not only a pass you know in terms of promotion but but a pass as far as the senate is

00:26:03.400 concerned excuse me um you know a guy like tom cotton for example who has been very vocal

00:26:11.320 about his concerns about this so-called woke cultural marxist takedown of our military chose not to

00:26:19.640 bring any of those issues up i think they're on his mind but he chose not to and and here's why this is so

00:26:25.560 important that we're talking about it on your program to the posse today is we need to have

00:26:33.880 senator tuberville's back we need to be supporting him and his efforts to try to get other members of

00:32:36.840 okay frank we've got and which is the what the war room posse set up in the show is an actionable

00:32:42.920 item i'm going to toss to you and bring in dr swain and will but just real quickly a couple of

00:32:47.560 minutes because we are pressed for time a couple of minutes on this confirmation process for cq brown

00:32:53.000 because this is where it all come together and you're 100 correct the war and posse this show we

00:32:57.960 have to step up and have tuberville's back back if only mike lee and jd in the senate uh and he's

00:33:04.040 really hanging out there alone on a historic and courageous endeavor we have to have his back cq

00:33:09.960 brown the confirmation of frank gaffney i'll toss it to you steve i started my career uh working on

00:33:16.120 the senate armed services committee for initially scoop jackson a democrat um then for john tower the

00:33:21.880 chairman a republican um scoop jackson if he were alive today would have none of this he'd be leading

00:33:28.280 the charge against cq brown i can assure you of that as with john tower the fact is uh what we've

00:33:35.240 seen already and it's not nearly enough this needs to be much more rigorously plumbed than it has been

00:33:42.040 today and and i want to give credit to uh will and his team at claremont among a number of others the

00:33:48.040 center for restoring america russ watt's outfit has been doing great work as well heritage as well

00:33:52.920 the main point here is what we need steve as in the case where an individual has a drug abuse problem

00:34:02.200 or as an alcohol alcoholic you know um if they're lucky their family their friends their colleagues at

00:34:11.720 work their you know community come together for what's called an intervention what is happening with

00:34:20.040 a military that has been drinking the well cultural marxist kool-aid is the urgent need for an 0.95

00:34:28.200 intervention by the united states senate and this posse can help energize that around the rejection

00:34:34.520 of general brown a single vote could make a big difference in the trajectory here we urge them to go 1.00

00:34:40.360 to reject general brown dot org i want to just turn now to colonel grant newsome a man who has

00:34:47.720 worn the uniform of the united states marine corps with great distinction he is very forthright about

00:34:54.680 what's happening to his beloved service and and the military more generally and he understands better

00:35:01.160 than anybody as the author most recently of when china attacks that this isn't just something that'd be

00:35:08.680 nice for us to do we must intervene now before china does in fact take it to the kinetic shooting 0.91

00:35:16.600 hey hey i just i just gotta i just gotta i just gotta toss my endorsement over the weekend to get

00:35:22.360 ready for this week i reread all the key books on china and i have to tell you colonel this may be my

00:35:28.600 favorite because it is up in your grill about the danger that this nation faces and i gotta tell you

00:35:36.440 elon musk said today said last night that uh taiwan's part of china and the taiwanese called him out that

00:35:42.840 were not for sale elon musk has got to stop reading uh uh books like uh the facilities

00:35:49.400 trapped by graham allison and got to start reading this book right here magnificent working for china

00:35:56.680 great news what do you make of all this sir and how important is it that we get to the bottom of it

00:36:03.400 well if we don't get this fixed we're going to lose uh we are losing our conventional

00:36:08.840 cape uh superiority over the chinese in some areas we've already lost it uh if there's a fight

00:36:14.920 between uh the americans and the chinese anywhere close to the chinese mainland if they choose their

00:36:20.440 time choose their spots they could defeat us you better get used to having 5 000 dead in an afternoon

00:36:26.360 and say we've still got advantages particularly if it's a global fight but this isn't just a question

00:36:31.160 of conventional capabilities there's a psychological aspect to military power to deterrence and that is

00:36:37.800 where we are losing our edge and badly the chinese are glad to have that take place people join a 0.95

00:36:44.680 military to be part of a something else and what we are doing with this attack on american equality

00:36:53.560 the so-called critical race theory dei that is gutting the psychological cohesion of the u.s military

00:37:02.360 uh and this really got supercharged in about 2020 with this black lives matter nonsense uh that is of 0.78

00:37:10.680 course backed by the chinese they love to see it but what you really saw and this was very troubling 0.65

00:37:16.200 not troubling it was horrifying you had the chairman of joint chiefs of staff general milley you had the cno

00:37:23.240 of admiral gilday these guys say yeah these there's something here we have to understand it

00:37:28.920 it and you know let's uh let's uh let's give it let's have a uh what uh what do you call it a

00:37:37.160 white terrorism standout uh and but the basic ideas of all of this are that of the crt these ideas being

00:37:45.240 foisted on the military are that america's a flawed nation it's an evil nation that this evil is centered around 0.94

00:37:51.480 white people and what you're doing is you're tribalizing the u.s military you are going to tear 0.95

00:37:56.760 it apart and think about this now you're basically telling the biggest bunch of people who joined 0.71

00:38:05.640 the military well we don't really know if we want you in here we don't trust you we might let you in

00:38:10.920 we'll give you limited opportunities because other people who've been mistreated they should have more

00:38:15.880 opportunity but we expect you to go die for us and why on earth would anybody join the military if

00:38:22.760 that's how you're going to be treated but also keep in mind that this uh it undercuts the this these

00:38:28.760 ideas they undercut an officer's authority they undercut the authority of staff ncos who really are

00:38:35.240 the key to the military and you're really saying we don't trust you we don't trust you to have the

00:38:40.040 decency to treat people the way you'd like to be treated to follow the law and to treat people

00:38:45.480 equally what does that what exactly are you trying to do additionally you're going to have uh everybody

00:38:53.640 walking on tenterhooks because they're afraid that somebody's going to accuse them of racism and so

00:38:59.480 officers and staff ncos are going to really be hamstrung by basically the dirt bags in any unit

00:39:05.640 you're going to have struggle sessions uh where uh the the officers have to sit down and have

00:39:11.560 everyone tell them what they really think uh now and you're going to have this really lead to

00:39:16.760 affirmative action now think about this if you're from the chinese perspective who would you rather

00:39:22.600 fight a military which has promotes on merit or one that promotes on color uh take your pick we'd

00:39:30.360 love it if the chinese were doing to themselves what we're doing to us now one of the great ironies 1.00

00:39:36.920 of all of this of course is that there's been no evidence that there's a problem in the military it is

00:39:42.840 the one organization the one institution in the united states that actually is a meritocracy

00:39:49.880 it allows upward movement and in fact anybody any officer any staff nco that i've ever come across

00:39:55.960 i can't speak for the air force i guess but if he ever said we've got too many of these kind of 0.89

00:40:01.320 people he'd be finished he would have to resign but here we get away with it and you have general

00:40:07.720 brown basically he's just the modern version of what they used to say oh there's too many jews we

00:40:13.160 can't let them into harvard there's too many jews we can't let them into wall street what is the 1.00

00:40:17.800 difference so here you are taking really the most impressive institution the one that keeps us safe

00:40:23.160 and you're destroying it and the thing to remember is a couple things is one that this is nothing new

00:40:29.480 in the late 60s into the 70s there was something very much like it uh robert mcnamara secretary of

00:40:36.920 defense mcnamara's project 100 000 brought into the military 100 000 people from the lowest mental

00:40:44.200 categories thinking that this was going to have great social effects it was even going to improve the

00:40:49.160 military it didn't it damn near destroyed it and this is that was the version of dei you know and

00:40:56.120 that is what you got you had these struggle sessions in the so-called human relations program

00:41:01.720 that people of a certain age will remember it with horror where you had basically malcontents

00:41:08.760 criticizing their officers in these formals sort of circles and this sort of stuff so this is nothing

00:41:15.320 new what we're seeing today but it is a constant push ultimately to try to destroy the u.s military

00:41:21.240 and the last thing i'll note is that you don't hear any general officers calling this out speaking

00:41:27.720 up against it you know i've been listening for it and there are good officers out there but nobody has

00:41:32.840 said a word and what you find when this is seen as the way to get ahead it brings the yes men out

00:41:38.840 of the woodwork and you'll find plenty of them who see this is how you get ahead well we're going to be all in

00:41:43.640 for this sort of cultural marxism then the ultimate aim if you just do some homework is to destroy the

00:41:49.480 military which is really the last uh serious pillar uh that's propping up the united states so this is

00:41:57.160 as serious as you can imagine and if it plays out you know we just might find ourselves not just

00:42:03.480 defeated but but simply unable to to make a move and the chinese must love what they see

00:42:08.920 amen empowering them frank frank let me frank frank let me just jump in here for a second you said

00:42:16.600 casualties psychologically are the american people ready colonel newsroom with these changes made in

00:42:23.240 the fundamental transformation of the military and i think back as a naval officer a surface warfare

00:42:29.080 officer as a young man used to patrol the south china sea and the east china sea the reports that came out

00:42:34.440 on the two collisions at sea um that took place i think the john mccann the two ships combatants crashed

00:42:41.800 and i read the reports afterwards and i was shocked and stunned by the lack of seamanship the basics of

00:42:48.200 navigation the understanding of what combat information center is supposed to do it it it so boggled my

00:42:53.640 mind this wouldn't even you couldn't have gotten a drill on a pier in the navy of the 1970s and reagan's

00:43:00.520 navy the 1980s do you believe that we are setting ourselves up and facing the chinese kind of the 1.00

00:43:07.000 pla to have something like a carrier battle group sunk to the bottom of the streets of taiwan and

00:43:11.640 have the american people have to face the first time since world war ii losing 10 12 15 000 troops

00:43:18.840 sailors uh and marines in an afternoon sir yes and i don't think we're ready you'll remember a few years

00:43:25.960 ago in i think it was niger in africa a four-man special forces team got run down and shot and this

00:43:32.760 was a national catastrophe i think they had congressional hearings about it four people

00:43:37.480 as you said steve 5 000 in an afternoon even more this is well within the range of possibility

00:43:43.880 and that is what the chinese are gearing up to do the country uh you know has got to brace itself and 0.81

00:43:50.920 i'm not sure we've got the the nerve for it and this is where it requires leaders to actually speak

00:43:56.680 up and say a military is about fighting it is not about this uh social engineering nonsense which is

00:44:03.240 ultimately intended to weaken and destroy the military i know a lot of the the people who are

00:44:08.200 pushing it they say well you know it's just it's no big deal it's just something it's not just let

00:44:13.720 it go we'll ride through it but no the intention here is to to weaken the military and we just may

00:44:19.400 find ourselves in a position uh where we are just getting uh clobbered and and losing and once you

00:44:25.960 lose to these people there'll be no coming back steve let me just ask if i could will um yeah the

00:44:32.360 secretary of the air force has made two speeches as i understand it this week in which he has

00:44:38.760 real concern about a coming war with communist china and the fact that his service is not ready

00:44:46.200 in addition to what we've said about general brown's um embrace of this toxic cultural marxist 1.00

00:44:53.800 agenda talk a little bit if you would about his performance as the chief of staff of the air force

00:44:59.640 on whose watch this military service has been reduced by the estimates of our friends at heritage from

00:45:08.440 marginally strong to very weak

00:45:16.280 will you there yeah in reagan's air force yummy yep yeah in in reagan's air force uh air force pilots

00:45:26.040 through flew almost four times a week nowadays they fly less than one and a half sorties

00:45:32.200 they get in the plane and actually fly at less than one and a half times per week the b2 bomber

00:45:38.920 the only stealth nuclear bomber in our arsenal was out of commission for six months earlier this year

00:45:46.920 and general cq brown was responsible for the training and readiness of the air force himself and i think

00:45:52.520 he should be held accountable for that just like he should be held accountable for the extent to which

00:45:57.960 he's politicized the air force and in the military uh we're writ large there's something for everyone

00:46:03.640 in this in this confirmation vote and if if harvard had the kind of admissions policies that the air

00:46:09.000 force did uh we would be outraged and so we should hold the air force to a much higher standard than we do

00:46:14.920 harvard well the supreme court said hey frank let me ask let me let me let me ask uh carol dr swain uh if you

00:46:23.400 were on if you were a senator and at the confirmation hearing of uh of cq brown what give me the two or

00:46:29.720 three questions you'd ask him flat out i would ask him about his uh loyalty uh to the united states i would

00:46:38.840 ask him questions about what he believed about america and its standing in the world and i would try to gauge

00:46:46.680 whether he was more of an advocate for globalization than for national nationalization in the sense that

00:46:56.920 if you are in the u.s military your job should be clear and that would be to defend and protect the

00:47:03.480 nation uh that you are enlisted to serve and when it comes to the congress it's been the case that white 0.70

00:47:12.280 republicans are so terrified of being called racist that they never stand up whenever there's a 0.54

00:47:19.160 challenge whether it's a supreme court justice or any position that involves a black person on the um

00:47:27.800 on the left on the on the progressive side because if it's a conservative you don't know what they're

00:47:32.840 going to do but any time there's a chance that they think they may be called racist then they will take

00:47:39.880 the path of least resistance could i just say in closing steve uh colonel newsome you have talked

00:47:48.600 about the problems here um there's an argument based on what we've just been told about both his conduct

00:47:55.160 as chief of staff of the air force and embracing what is frankly an unconstitutional and i think carol

00:48:01.560 would agree illegal sort of racist preferential treatment of people that general brown should be 0.76

00:48:08.520 court-martialed not promoted especially to the role of chairman of the joint chiefs of staff would you

00:48:13.800 agree well they ought to be cashiered as i say i just don't see a way around this you could not stand

00:48:20.760 in front of any group a group of marines uh really anyone uh if you had ever said we think some of you are

00:48:27.800 evil uh we think some of you deserve better treatment now this is a four-star saying this my goodness

00:48:33.800 the woe is me argument doesn't make much sense the guy's practically got manservants he's done pretty

00:48:39.400 well out of this system but as i said i don't see how you can continue uh with this it guts the the

00:48:44.840 military and it will be just like uh back in the mcnamara days and after where you had uh gangs race

00:48:51.720 riots you had absolute breakdown in discipline uh drug use all over the place the enemies must love what they

00:48:58.760 see they do steve we need the posse to go to reject general brown dot org and communicate

00:49:05.800 directly to their united states senators to ensure that this guy if he's not actually cashiered or

00:49:12.600 court-martialed is not made the next chairman of the joint chiefs of staff let's let's quickly go
