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
00:00:17.380 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:24.360 authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just
00:00:30.280 like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:35.020 misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:39.300 the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground
00:00:45.620 here's your host Stephen K Bannon he was brilliant ambitious controversial and one
00:00:54.220 of the most influential secretaries of state in American history I think we've made further
00:00:59.740 progress Henry Kissinger served Richard Nixon Gerald Ford and was consulted by presidents of both parties
00:01:07.100 on international issues throughout his life Henry Kissinger has been a friend of mine Nixon made
00:01:13.880 him a national figure and together they reimagine U.S. foreign policy detente with the Soviet Union
00:01:20.460 relations with China shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East Kissinger helped shape Nixon's policy in Vietnam
00:01:28.320 and negotiated an end to the war famously declaring success prematurely just days before the 1972 election
00:01:37.800 we believe that peace is at hand he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize nothing that has happened to me in
00:01:48.580 public life has moved me more than this award though his co-recipient North Vietnam's Le Duc Toh declined the honor
00:02:00.660 four years later President Ford awarded him the Medal of Freedom he was a master of pragmatic big picture
00:02:09.140 diplomacy but he had his critics who described him as manipulative and insecure some called him a war criminal for his role in
00:02:17.780 bombing Cambodia and widening the war in Vietnam born in Germany in 1923 Kissinger's Jewish family fled to America as Hitler rose to power
00:02:30.740 he became a U.S. citizen served in World War II and earned a PhD at Harvard where he became a professor
00:02:38.580 he caught the eye of Richard Nixon who made him national security advisor then secretary of state the only person ever to hold both jobs simultaneously there is no country in the world where it is conceivable that a man of my origins could be standing here next to the president of the United States
00:03:00.580 but their relationship was complicated and White House tapes reveal that Kissinger sometimes enabled the worst in Nixon it was a very curious relationship because we were not personally very close the night before he resigned
00:03:18.580 in disgrace Nixon asked Kissinger to kneel and pray with him and of course it was a crushing event but I think of that evening as an experience with dignity and it was very moving
00:03:35.540 Kissinger was no faceless bureaucrat he was a world-renowned celebrity
00:03:40.580 I loved your foreign accent and he loved the spotlight he was even something of a pop culture icon after leaving government he opened his own consulting firm remaining active and sought after for decades at 95 eulogizing John McCain's life Kissinger sounded a wistful note about his own
00:04:03.580 like most people of my age I feel a longing for what is lost and cannot be restored Henry Kissinger was a man of great accomplishment and controversy but as he once told NBC's Barbara Walters he had no regrets
00:04:29.580 if I had to do it over again I would do again substantially the same way which may make me unreconstructed
00:04:37.600 maybe one reason why I'm at peace with myself Lester Holt NBC News New York
00:04:43.800 Thursday 30 November year of alert 2023 welcome for the second hour of our late afternoon early evening coverage here in the war room
00:04:54.320 um complicated this one because of um the Phyllis Schlafly's of the world and her book Kissinger on the couch I think is uh is one of actually the most important uh text out there
00:05:08.940 Dr. Kissinger uh and he tried to weasel his way in through certain members of the uh of the Trump entourage in 2016 after we won
00:05:20.120 of which uh we would have none of it uh we would have none of it and really wouldn't have a way to make sure that he didn't um didn't get into the uh
00:05:27.140 into the administration or really have much influence as he tried uh just like he tried with Ronald Reagan and was shut off
00:05:33.680 also uh the most important damage he did and lasting damage he definitely did was not simply in Southeast Asia
00:05:41.620 uh in the killing fields uh the I don't know 20 or 30 million uh folks in Southeast Asia slaughtered
00:05:48.640 after his kind of abrupt um surrender in the um in talking Nixon to the surrender in um
00:05:55.620 in uh South Vietnam uh with uh when he was Jerry Ford's I think National Security Advisor and Secretary of State
00:06:02.560 I want to bring in Brad there you wrote a pretty smart obituary
00:06:06.300 when the Chinese Communist Party makes a big deal and comes out with official statement it calls him
00:06:13.280 an old and valued friend what does that term mean for people in the audience out there in our
00:06:18.600 particularly in our vast international audience we have a lot of folks in Australia and in the
00:06:23.860 lateral nations around the South China Sea when when the CCP refers to someone as an old and valued friend
00:06:30.580 uh what does that mean sir well Steve it means that um he was valuable to the Chinese Communist Party he
00:06:38.240 was a useful idiot to use uh Lenin's term uh regarding an individual who is going to uh serve the interests
00:06:45.920 of the Chinese Communist Party uh which is why um their mourning has lost so uh from our perspective of
00:06:53.920 course uh Kissinger's death to the extent any death can have a silver lining is is positive and it's
00:07:00.360 positive in the following respect he touted himself as a great strategist and indeed he was a great
00:07:06.820 strategist for the People's Republic of China he wasn't a great strategist for the United States
00:07:12.380 or for America's interests which is very important to keep in mind what you've been talking about Steve
00:07:19.420 for years the growth of the Chinese Communist Party its influence in international politics
00:07:25.140 is due to the extent it is to any one individual it's due to Henry Kissinger if there's a father of the
00:07:32.680 growth of the Chinese Communist Party it's Henry Kissinger and what he allowed he allowed investment
00:07:39.720 trade all of those elements that he that facilitated that were the rocket fuel for the People's Republic of
00:07:46.640 China Henry Kissinger's uh opened the the floodgates uh for through Kissinger Associates
00:07:53.960 his law firm's ties obviously to Wall Street financiers uh K Street uh and Washington lawyers as well as on the hill
00:08:02.540 this guy is responsible for what Cleo Pascal talked about this morning uh the Chinese showing up with
00:08:11.220 mountains with uh with uh tons of cash right well where did they get that cash they got that cash
00:08:17.820 really from the policies that Henry Kissinger allowed uh and facilitated through Kissinger
00:08:24.420 uh associates so he was indeed an old friend of China the Chinese Communist Party he was their best
00:08:30.440 friend but from our perspective he had the Midas touch in reverse right this guy was a was a disaster
00:08:37.660 he's responsible for the engagement school right for allowing that to capture if you will the strategic
00:08:45.520 mindset the economic mindset of the American national security but but but whoa but but whoa but whoa but
00:08:52.000 whoa whoa it's deeper than that though let's go back in time they this uh obsession with the Peloponnesian
00:08:58.840 war and with the this theory of Athens and Sparta uh in this concept of the Thucydides trap
00:09:06.580 which is a declining power and a rising power uh Graham Allison and Henry Kissinger ran the exact
00:09:14.400 same scam the exact same scam in the early 70s in his original rise to power where he was the advocate
00:09:22.620 in in all the inner circles of government of saying that the Soviet Union in their system is a better
00:09:29.300 system and remember this was all the phony numbers were coming out about the Soviet economy
00:09:34.940 and he and Graham Allison and Graham Allison remember was the great nuclear strategist like
00:09:41.500 Herman Kahn and Graham Allison were were about decision theory and you know he was at Harvard all this
00:09:47.160 decision theory they came up with the concept that we were the declining power and they were the rising
00:09:52.340 power and we had to reach some sort of rapprochement and that led to detente and that led to all the
00:09:57.680 the reason I know this as a young naval officer I took the courses from the naval war college
00:10:04.040 and we start with the Peloponnesian war and I said look I love history I love reading the
00:10:08.760 Thucydides I love reading about the Peloponnesian war but why in the hell is a naval officer
00:10:13.040 in the Pacific fleet in the mid 1970s why are we doing that and that was informed that oh no this is
00:10:21.020 the this is actually the intellectual construct of how the senior members of our government think
00:10:26.580 about this that we're declining power and they're a rising power and I said that's kind of odd because
00:10:31.040 I look around as a young naval officer going throughout Asia I kind of see the United States
00:10:35.400 as being a pretty good not just power but we're still on the rise Reagan came in and rejected that
00:10:42.120 that's why he was not in the Reagan administration Reagan said I want anybody but Kissinger and they
00:10:46.640 try to force him on he said no no no this is why he picked Richard V Allen and he told Richard V Allen
00:10:51.200 and Richard V Allen's kind of going through and getting caught up in this geostrategic mumbo jumbo
00:10:55.840 he goes hey Dick how about this we win they lose they're the evil empire now that took it away for
00:11:02.300 20 or 30 years they took the exact same construct in the exact same two guys because they weren't in
00:11:08.300 the they weren't really in the in the flow anymore because America first had kind of dialed them out
00:11:14.240 and and and they and they knew this day was coming of populist nationalism he took his client and once
00:11:20.680 again ran this whole facilities trap with Graham Allison that once again we're the declining power
00:11:26.160 and now it's China the CCP's rising power and we have to do all types of engagement and all types of
00:11:32.740 uh coupling and all types of risk management am I wrong in that overall context that he ran this scam
00:11:39.280 for basically 50 60 years that America was always in decline and that these autocratic empires on the
00:11:46.240 Eurasian landmass were ascended now that's exactly right that he was the strongest advocate of detente
00:11:54.820 with the Soviet Union in essence trying to appease the Soviet Union he was a vociferous critic of Ronald
00:12:02.080 Reagan and Steve that's exactly right that Reagan wanted to win the Cold War something Kissinger thought
00:12:08.840 impossible and Reagan showed of course that it could be done and it was uh done so this individual who's
00:12:16.680 um again being by the way hang on for a second hang on for a second he called Ronald Reagan he called
00:12:23.160 Ronald Reagan in the seven Reagan was coming out of being governor of California was starting to get on
00:12:28.500 the national stage and was running in the primary against Gerald Ford he told the American people in the
00:12:34.680 media that Ronald Reagan is the most dangerous man in the United States of America for the simple
00:12:40.960 reason is as Reagan goes what are we talking about this is a Cold War right it's ideological it's
00:12:46.780 economic it's political it's diplomatic it'll be military where we need military but we can win this
00:12:52.960 not only can we win this we must win this Kissinger called him the most dangerous man in America for
00:12:58.660 simply having the construct of victory something we've lost since President Reagan Dr. Thayer
00:13:06.580 and something to which he blinded us Kissinger blinded us right again with all of his advice and all of
00:13:11.940 his uh uh arguments about why we needed to assist China again the logic of the engagement school of
00:13:19.620 which he's the father right that that by engaging with China we were going to change them uh we were going to
00:13:25.860 influence them so the guy is a strategic idiot uh and I don't know why anybody listened to him ever
00:13:32.580 uh given his track record uh in terms of what he did in the Nixon administration Ford administration
00:13:39.620 and then afterwards so um it was uh his advice was just disastrous so the um Hitchens wrote that book
00:13:48.500 in 2001 about why he should be put on trial for the crimes against the Yende in Chile right and
00:13:54.420 in East Timor and Bangladesh Kissinger should have been tried for how he betrayed the country
00:14:00.340 right how he betrayed our country by facilitating the rise of uh its greatest enemy uh and um the fact that
00:14:08.260 you have such deal was he not was but was he was he not correct at the time to think that we could bring
00:14:15.060 China at least over temporarily to be a counterweight to the uh Soviet Union and basically
00:14:22.660 Reagan did use that leverage with much else and really economic warfare and technological warfare
00:14:29.140 the issues we should be doing today to essentially break the Soviet Union was the initial foray or the
00:14:35.380 initial opening of China with Nixon as a strategic counterweight to uh to the Soviet Union and to break
00:14:42.900 you must always break the Russian-China bond which you know now our elites force Russia and the KGB into
00:14:50.180 the arms of the CCP and we've got this debacle in the Eurasian landmass that we're going to pay for
00:14:55.540 right now was he not smart at least in the initial strategic construct of it but that's Nixon driving
00:15:01.380 that Steve Nixon did it for balance of power reasons and he also saw that as a way to contribute to the
00:15:07.300 end of the Vietnam War uh to stabilize the situation uh in Vietnam so Nixon is driving it and yes Kissinger
00:15:15.460 was instrumental in that role to his credit uh uh certainly we wanted to use to give the Soviet Union
00:15:22.900 another front right to uh force them to deal with uh the communist Chinese again their relations between
00:15:30.180 Beijing and Moscow had really soured and they fought each other of course on a border war in 68 and
00:15:35.780 then again more significantly in 69 when Soviet troops basically killed uh approximately a thousand
00:15:43.140 Chinese but look uh that is uh that was the Cold War Steve what this guy did is through his policy
00:15:51.300 through his desire his avarice his greed uh was um put us in a position that greatly hurt us uh in the
00:16:00.340 new Cold War that we're facing with uh that we're in right now with uh the People's Republic of China
00:16:06.580 so that has to be um you can't erase that stain right that's that's uh lasting damage to our country
00:16:13.940 that was lasting sacrifice of our interests uh when we had even greater leverage against China we could
00:16:20.180 have employed it but Henry Kissinger was there saying don't do it right uh go along with the Chinese
00:16:26.420 Communist Party they're in essence he's arguing they're a positive force so it's a disaster this
00:16:32.260 guy was just a strategic uh moron and that needs to be recognized um despite what happened with under
00:16:40.820 Nixon's guidance again you want to keep that in mind uh that Nixon is it was a strategic thinker truly uh
00:16:47.780 a strategic thinker um and uh Kissinger obviously had an instrumental role there but was uh the national
00:16:55.620 security advisor not Richard Nixon who had a vision for Asia and had a vision really for uh
00:17:02.260 advancing America's interests against the Soviets and ending the Vietnam War um
00:17:08.500 Dr Thayer where do people get you've got your article up on warroom.org where they get you on
00:17:12.740 social media and where they get all your writings now uh at x at uh Brad Thayer and uh then a truth
00:17:18.660 and get her at Bradley Thayer uh Steve uh thanks very much for uh calling attention to this it's a
00:17:24.500 a very important uh issue they're saying he was an old friend uh that's because he was an old friend
00:17:32.180 uh of China and he was their strategist he wasn't an American strategist he wasn't out for America's
00:17:37.140 national security interests no yeah not a good guy thank you very much uh but we won't talk badly about
00:17:45.380 the dead um Dr Thayer thank you so much honored thank you a reality check my dad this facilities
00:17:54.100 trap is still it's the the declineist mentality it's still the it's still the organizing principle
00:18:00.260 of how the decline is how our elites think about this relationship with the Chinese Communist Party
00:18:05.220 that we have of course here you know that our focus is to take down and destroy or assist
00:18:10.100 Lao Bai Jing in taking down destroying the Chinese Communist Party uh brother um Ben Harnwell from
00:18:18.420 Rome uh Ben of course this they're heating up it's a firestorm on Capitol Hill now behind closed doors
00:18:24.180 on this situation with Ukraine but as we're looking at this another 80 billion dollars we're taking our
00:18:30.100 eye off the ball strategically in the central pacific which is we fought and died for back 80 years ago
00:18:36.100 as we're doing this we can see it's evident what's happening Europe is quickly rapidly heading towards
00:18:43.540 an internal civil war country by country the Guardian filing today had this brutal article about France
00:18:50.100 walk me through the the from Dublin to the Netherlands to Sweden uh to France uh a civil war
00:18:57.220 is kind of in the early early stages sir Steve I wonder what the common denominator the
00:19:03.380 not common denominator might be of all these countries and the civil wars that are brewing in
00:19:08.260 each and every one of them uh I've got two articles to illustrate this yeah yeah I'm going to take a wild
00:19:14.980 guess might it have something to do with mass unlimited uh forced immigration onto a populace into a nation
00:19:22.500 state of am I is Victor Orban look like an oracle every day that this goes on sir an oracle and a prophet
00:19:30.260 um I have two articles to go through with you today that illustrate precisely what's going on here
00:19:38.100 in mainland occupied Europe um they're coming at this from different angles as you might expect
00:19:43.860 there's a fantastic article here in today's daily telegraph all of the links of this will be posted
00:19:49.860 um on my feed uh specifically I might add on on on uh on Bannon's war room on on rumble we can get that via
00:19:57.300 a ghetto when when I post this the first article here from the telegraph the telegraph carries the
00:20:03.060 headline France could be on the brink of civil war now I'm just reading that out because to make this
00:20:09.060 make this absolutely abundantly clear this is the mainstream media saying this isn't the war room
00:20:14.260 though we are saying this and have been saying this for a long time this is the main admittedly
00:20:19.380 admittedly towards the right of the mainstream media but it's still very much um controlled opposition
00:20:25.140 um and it's basically digging down to what's going on in in France here what happened um to this
00:20:32.580 week is that Olivier Véran who is the the minister uh in charge of being the spokesman for the French
00:20:39.220 cabinet he went to Crepol which is this town where where this young 16 year old was uh knifed to death by
00:20:46.740 I think an Algerian who whose um whose uh repatriation order had been signed some 10 years ago and
00:20:53.380 French authorities hadn't got around to forcibly removing uh removing him he went uh wild at the
00:21:00.100 party um this is just south of of Lyon in in the south of France and he was heard saying that he was
00:21:08.020 out um to kill whites um and so he so this minister that goes down there he says that the government is
00:21:16.020 clearly aware that violence from packs is ratcheting up and that there are tensions and you can't you
00:21:22.740 can't stand these gangs anymore neither can we and he promised the full mobilization of the state to
00:21:28.100 guarantee the safety of all citizens Steve these are just words they're empty words echoing around
00:21:34.260 because the government feels the need to be close to the people it is ideologically and conceptually
00:21:41.620 impossible for for globalists to do this they can mix naturally with the people like oil to mix with
00:21:47.940 water it's inauthentic and not going not going to believe and in fact it wasn't believed in fact one
00:21:53.620 guy when this guy was was mouthing these platitudes one guy shouted out um you've done much more for them
00:22:00.340 than you do for the hard-working people in the countryside who get no benefits and raise their children
00:22:06.660 with values this is Steve as the headline says an indication that there is a growing irreconcilability
00:22:13.780 between the french people the ordinary working class of the french people and the elites which are
00:22:20.740 foisting continually the problem on this country and what is the problem it is enforced immigration
00:22:26.980 and not as you said just now in your introduction but not only not only is it simply an immigration
00:22:34.180 situation uh situation because immigration in and of itself needn't bring a country to the point of
00:22:41.780 flats right we know this because a lot of countries have had immigration over decades and and if not
00:22:48.020 centuries if you look at United States immigration in and of itself is an issue the problems and the
00:22:52.660 values of the people that are coming in that's really i think you know i just mentioned the oil and
00:22:57.060 water metaphor the issue here and uh the article goes on to saying this is that that the french state
00:23:04.020 believes it has failed because it has allowed groups coming in and to avoid assimilation that's a
00:23:10.980 really cack-handed way of confronting the problem because of course a lot is these groups themselves
00:23:16.740 that don't want to assimilate i've got one final quote on on this article that illustrates this point
00:23:23.620 um and it basically talks about uh people coming in who hate that's the word it uses who hate france
00:23:32.420 and and hate its values um and that's the issue and of course steve globalist elites aren't going to
00:23:40.580 be able to confront that which is why it will require a change of direction and that i think is why
00:23:47.140 marine le pen is always growing in the polls and appears to be a credible threat now in the
00:23:53.300 uh in the next french presidential election is not is this not is is this not a full validation
00:24:00.740 of the novel the camp of the saints i mean the camp of the saints and the camp of the saints when i
00:24:06.100 recommend to read it understand it's got some very rough parts to it they're going to upset you it's
00:24:12.180 description of of of people and of cultures some of it is not quite pleasant and not quite pleasant
00:24:18.980 reading but that's not the point of the novel the point of the novel is about how elites respond when
00:24:24.740 their culture and society is under direct attack not militarily but from this issue of mass uh mass
00:24:33.140 migration and how the elites don't really buy into or believe the core values of the cultures and
00:24:40.900 societies they represent is this not we're seeing in france right now this is decades and decades and
00:24:47.220 decades in particular you're seeing in netherlands you're seeing in sweden you're seeing in france
00:24:51.700 and these are nations that have lectured the united states have lectured particularly the the people
00:24:56.900 that freed them in world war ii and actually a freedom in world war one the backbone of our nation
00:25:03.940 which is working class americans from the great heartland of this nation who they detest
00:25:09.700 is this not the camp of the saints played out in real time steve when i first met you some 10 years
00:25:15.380 ago you were talking to me about that book the camp of the saints right 10 years 10 years ago
00:25:20.500 uh and i read the book um and i think in fairness to yourself you were well well well ahead of the
00:25:29.060 curve about to be talking about that then because it is a gradual unrolling of exactly the contents of
00:25:35.860 that book and you're right it you know it's always impossible and i've said this before i said again
00:25:41.540 it is impossible with our social sociopathic overlords to know where incompetence ends and
00:25:48.500 bad faith begins and i don't think that that is anywhere more visible than in the immigration crisis
00:25:55.060 that the the the the mass whole-scale importing of third world illegals who are hostile to the values
00:26:02.020 of the judeo-christian west is it that there are elites are incompetent or does it go beyond that into a
00:26:07.620 whole-scale um bad faith well i think it's increasingly looking like bad faith because
00:26:12.100 nobody can be this incompetent for this long without realizing that there is something amiss

00:33:28.980 i got a couple of minutes here i want to walk through the financial times of london
00:33:32.740 and the economist my two favorites back to back and you know this hurts them
00:33:38.340 these are the this is these are the uh the economist is the people magazine of the party of davos and the
00:33:46.020 ft is the daily tip sheet it hurts them no end to basically agree with the war room and particularly
00:33:53.940 on the corruption and the theft of american taxpayer dollars in the ukraine huge story in the financial
00:34:00.980 times today about that and then the economist cover is absolutely blows you away about what they
00:34:07.060 finally admitted to against all their all our betters at the atlantic council ben take it away
00:34:12.980 steve this is basically the war the war room's editorial policy over the last two years in
00:34:19.460 distilled form um on these august uh two journals let's do the ft one very quickly first um it's
00:34:27.700 titled the big read bribery and corruption the crackdown on ukraine's oligarchs vladimir zelinski's
00:34:34.660 government is taking action against politically influential business figures but will a new generation
00:34:40.660 take their place the interesting thing steve and it goes into igor uh kolomoisky who was of course
00:34:45.860 zelinski's big sponsor the billionaire who's had all of his assets um confessed it's confiscated by his
00:34:52.260 somewhat ungrateful uh protege the interesting thing again about this article steve is that it even
00:34:58.500 exists it's putting front and center the nature the corrupt nature of the oligarch state that is
00:35:04.420 ukraine in the mainstream media and of course all of the oligarchs here that it's referencing have
00:35:12.260 strong ties to zelinski even if of course that the financial times doesn't draw that out explicitly just
00:35:18.580 a little bit of of prior knowledge i think fills in the gaps there no i mean this is not an article that
00:35:26.020 indicates and we wouldn't have seen the likes of this six months ago uh but it really indicates the
00:35:32.100 nature of the state that we're supposed to be defending you know that is supposed to be the
00:35:36.500 beacon of democracy and the rule of law um that we're that we're sacrificing so much here in the
00:35:41.940 west to come to the aid of i'll put the link to that obviously um if people want to chase that down and
00:35:48.820 read it but i think it's an illustration of how for some time now and i i i do backdate this to the
00:35:55.620 the pivot point as being that the nato annual uh meeting i think that was in vilnius wasn't it in
00:36:01.460 in july of this year um from that moment forth and it's been accelerating it's been hardlining
00:36:07.540 that's when the media really started to to pivot away from zelinski um the other thing very very
00:36:13.940 quickly i just have to mention this um is the front page of the economist um if memphis would be so kind
00:36:21.460 as to put that up um it's simply the the the standalone this is the front the cover story this is the
00:36:27.300 front page of the front cover of the the the economist thinking is is putin winning um with
00:36:33.780 his with his face there we go um that's the front page of the economist so so that's sort of seeding
00:36:39.620 furthermore the the the the the constant drumbeat now that is only a question of time now before um
00:36:47.460 there's the zelinski defense i just want to see this i i don't i don't i haven't i haven't broken down
00:36:53.140 i want to let's get that cover up totally so people can see it let's go back to the cover of
00:36:57.940 the um of the economist i want to see the full thing of it about the wormish his war machine i
00:37:04.340 haven't had a chance to go through this in detail so i'm not saying i agree or disagree with it but
00:37:07.940 here is what should be the takeaway to this audience and to the american people and our audience
00:37:12.500 vast audience throughout the world the uh commentators former military commentators on msnbc and cnn
00:37:20.820 and bbc in the uk and boris johnson these guys but let me just deal with the us for a second
00:37:27.540 none of these people should be back on tv are allowed to be back on tv the misinformation and
00:37:32.500 lies that they fed the american people in the early stages of war and then later about the destruction
00:37:36.740 of the russia russia's military russia's economy russia's capital markets russia's central banks
00:37:42.180 we're just all 1000 wrong we are not fans of bladimir putin and these kgb criminals
00:37:48.980 that run uh russia just like we're not fans of and we're mortal enemies of the criminal element
00:37:56.820 the ccp that run china we are big fans of the chinese people laobai jing and we're big fans of
00:38:03.140 the russian people let me repeat this because it's not said and it's not talked about in the way that
00:38:09.620 folks think about uh the current situation throughout the world and particularly the greatest generation
00:38:14.980 the chinese people and the russian people were the principal allies of the united states of the
00:38:22.820 american people in world war ii and they took the brunt of the fighting and they took the brunt
00:38:27.540 of the casualties certainly our our lead ally was great britain in the united kingdom but they were
00:38:34.260 fighting not just for their own freedom but to preserve their empire this was churchill was very open
00:38:38.180 about that very blunt about that and he kind of put off a deal by halifax so we cut a deal with the
00:38:42.660 nazis to preserve that and to fight on but with all the valor and all the bravery we talked about
00:38:48.740 earlier in the day about the valor of the marines in the pacific and fighting for the central island
00:38:53.140 chain that we had to take island by island left all that blood and treasure and particularly in north
00:38:58.500 africa and sicily and italy and then normandy and western europe and the eighth air corps over over
00:39:04.740 germany uh our casualties with all the valor and courage of the americans our couch casualties were
00:39:11.060 relatively light compared to our two major allies the russian people and the chinese people
00:39:17.860 we sold those people out immediately after the war the american elites and the british elites and
00:39:24.660 the globalists over armed stalin particularly towards the end of the war we kept pouring money
00:39:29.780 in there and there's still never been an explanation about that that's why he was armed to the teeth and
00:39:34.580 that's why he took eastern europe we never challenged him in germany the american montgomery
00:39:40.260 and paten were going nuts and particularly even montgomery in this regard of why did we not cross
00:39:45.620 why did we not go to berlin we could have been there much earlier than anybody else and in fact the
00:39:50.180 race between pat and montgomery montgomery probably would have won this one given where paten was
00:39:54.500 strategically positioned but both of them been there long before the russians and we didn't do it
00:39:59.700 we also turned over the china to the mao se tong and his band of criminals in 1949 a communist infested
00:40:07.460 state department this is what brought senator mccarthy to power from wisconsin a tail gunner joe was who
00:40:14.580 lost china because the american people were shocked the american people always had this kind of bond with
00:40:19.540 the chinese people for decades and decades and decades and all of a sudden china was gone to the
00:40:24.740 communist how did that happen so this is why you have to understand all these people that are
00:40:32.420 globalists that stood up there all you know avril stavaritas i know jim he's a flake all these people
00:40:37.780 all the former diplomats all the people that are involved in the by in the trump impeachment they stood
00:40:44.660 up there and lied to you every freaking day and we pumped in 113 billion dollars and what did mersheimer
00:40:52.180 say mersheimer said and warned the ukrainian people they're going to pump in as much money
00:40:56.740 and they're going to fight to the last ukrainian then they're going to abandon you so now we have
00:41:01.460 113 billion dollars it's been skimmed off the top of all those oligarchs the ft's finally focused on now
00:41:07.060 half of it's stolen to get into monaco and these tax havens with their yachts and their mistresses in
00:41:11.940 the south of france and all that while you slave away with no pension and no health care
00:41:17.140 this is what this is what happened this is exactly what happened now they're talking about putting
00:41:23.540 another 60 billion dollars on top of the 113 billion dollars and what do we have we have 75 000 to a
00:41:29.620 hundred thousand dead ukrainians that's what we got men women and children in a nation that looks like
00:41:35.060 dresden in 1945 that's what the west has delivered that's what the eu has delivered that's what nato has
00:41:41.700 delivered nato who has not lived up to any of their commitments and remember in world war ii
00:41:47.940 not one of those nations fought with us france wasn't really with us you had de gaulle and a
00:41:53.380 handful of uh patriots in france you had a handful of people in the resistance spain wasn't there
00:41:58.820 italy wasn't there germany wasn't there all the all the uh sweden was neutral the irish were neutral
00:42:06.180 the ones that fought you know norway flipped right away no you've been lied to and now it's time to
00:42:15.060 see what you see uh we're going to drill down on this more ben how do people get to you fantastic
00:42:19.860 job how do people get to you on social media um look i don't eat into to giant time i simply if you
00:42:25.940 want to chase me down go on to get up at steve bannon steven k bannon has an excellent post of mine
00:42:32.820 that i hope you'll be sharing later just if i can very quickly just read the one sentence here
00:42:38.100 in the press release that the economist did when they published their front cover here it synthesizes
00:42:43.780 the lies that they're playing at their attempt to uh re re rewrite history in europe we consider that
00:42:51.540 for the first time since vladimir putin invaded ukraine it looks like he could win that simply
00:42:57.300 it's from the very opening sentence here it's it's a lie moving forward okay
00:43:03.380 it's done it it's mind-boggling it's mind-boggling what do you what do you have to say economist to
00:43:08.340 the 75 000 100 000 dead men women children ukraine you cheerleader the editor there and the staff
00:43:14.740 you're disgusting boris johnson you're revolting the financial times you're disgusting the blood of the
00:43:20.740 ukrainians are on your hand every bit as much as they're on the russians hands your hands you let
00:43:26.180 them down this path and then you cut them loose when they're no more used to you when this thing
00:43:30.340 got too tough thanks ben appreciate it okay i don't have time to play a bunch of clips where we had to
00:43:35.540 joe allen we'll have to do that again but joe just jump in here and and let's cut to the heart of it
00:43:40.420 elon musk dropped a bombshell of course they're all focused on all the peripheral stuff he dropped a
00:43:45.540 bombshell at this deal book um interview with sorkin i think the biggest bombshell you might not agree
00:43:52.420 was that he said agis three years away godlike intelligence is three years away and it used to
00:43:58.660 keep me up at night understanding this could lead to the annihilation of humankind but i've kind of come
00:44:04.580 to grips with it because it will be the most exciting time in mankind's history as we grapple with
00:44:10.820 the uh the ability of godlike intelligence to annihilate us in my is that a simple summary of what
00:44:18.180 he said brother absolutely i i do disagree with um his timeline or at least uh let's say that he
00:44:26.980 clearly knows something that nobody else does if uh agi is less than three years away uh he doesn't
00:44:34.900 seem to know what's going on at open ai so i'm not sure what info it is that he's working with maybe
00:44:39.700 it's something at xai or maybe but it's not but hang up but hang up but hang up but hey whoa whoa but
00:44:45.860 isn't isn't the the whole situation of the memo that was sent the reason we're in this open ai fiasco
00:44:52.100 is the staff sent a memo that said sam altman is working on things that could bring irreparable
00:44:57.620 harm to mankind and he's not being honest about this so the the concept of accelerationist acceleration
00:45:03.620 is as far as this does does elon saying that not lead you to believe he knows something being a
00:45:10.180 dialed-in guy they know something about what altman and these guys are working on that the staff said
00:45:15.220 we got to fire that fire altman and shut this thing down yes uh you know it's it's quite likely
00:45:21.540 that elon musk has a much uh more direct line to open ai than i do for sure but uh even even this
00:45:28.420 this description of agi that he gave uh you know he just talks about superhuman abilities in these
00:45:35.860 specific spheres um i'm not sure that he even means a full-on general intelligence but if he does
00:45:43.220 then what you're talking about is a massive leap from you know average essays from derivative artworks
00:45:53.300 uh from a program that really can't even do math very well uh to a program that he says will be
00:46:00.260 writing better than jk rowling which maybe isn't saying much um that it will be uh making novel
00:46:06.500 discoveries in physics will be creating uh novel uh technologies things like that you're talking
00:46:12.740 about such an enormous leap skipping all of these intermediate steps um i've just uh i'd be very
00:46:19.780 curious uh as to what he uh really means by this but one way or the other um let's say he just means
00:46:27.300 super advanced artificial narrow intelligence or a major breakthrough to something like a general
00:46:32.820 intelligence uh this is plausible in the sense that if you look at the acceleration of capabilities
00:46:40.500 from five years ago to today and play them forward which is what these guys are doing these
00:46:45.380 singularitarians are basically doing going all the way to 2045 when they believe that there will be no
00:46:50.820 distinction between human beings and machines no distinction between actuality and virtual reality
00:46:57.460 um i i i can no no no no no no i know i know i know i know but you got to bring it ho ho ho ho slow
00:47:04.340 down you got to bring up the edge of this because the development of it and all that is going to come
00:47:10.500 later the shock and this is why we're not prepared to do it either by society structures our culture
00:47:17.460 structures our norm structures and particularly government the front edge of this is going to be the most
00:47:23.460 important edge because and there is going to come a definite i want people to understand this concept
00:47:29.220 in this construct this thing called the singularity is the convergence of all this with ai obviously
00:47:36.180 being ahead but it's also got biotechnology part of it a quantum account of quantum uh a computing part
00:47:43.220 of it uh robotics regenerative robotics part of it all that that convergence we have a line out there
00:47:50.180 it's theoretical right now on this side of that line is homo sapiens but you and i and you know
00:47:56.900 the other seven billion homo sapiens that are on the earth today and that has been from time immemorial
00:48:04.500 right back to the recess of the time there is a line and over that line that edge is homo sapien plus
00:48:12.180 i'm not sure it's homo sapien 2.0 but it's homo sapien 1.5 or 1.25 that edge is once you cross that
00:48:23.380 edge you don't go back you don't go back the pressure to be part of that the pressure to have
00:48:30.020 that the pressure to have your children participate in that and leave behind the unwashed masses the
00:48:35.620 luddites is going to be enormous societal pressure and you then you're going to have really a house of
00:48:41.460 overlords or as ben harnwell says sociopathic overlords and then the rest am i not is that
00:48:49.460 do you not understand what i'm saying that that the other developments in the 2035s and the 2045s
00:48:54.820 and 2050s yes there's going to be so much they're going to blow people away but is the initial shock
00:49:00.660 that we are not homo sapiens anymore that there's something else there and that's why elon moss the
00:49:04.820 people in silicon valley are the most immature right they're they don't have discernment they don't have
00:49:11.300 judgment they certainly don't have wisdom they have technical expertise and that expertise is
00:49:15.860 basically unchained right now to to just look at the immaturity of elon moss sitting there in that
00:49:21.780 interview like a really a petulant child i used to say he was 11 year old he's about nine but you have
00:49:28.100 a petulant child who's a brilliant engineer there's no doubt about that but he's also have the control of
00:49:34.500 a vast power including neural link which he's lied about and misrepresented from the beginning
00:49:40.020 so clearly they're going to lie and misrepresent about where they are in agi because they understand
00:49:46.420 that maybe adults are going to shut the freaking thing down till we get control of it once this
00:49:51.860 thing gets out once you get near agi artificial general intelligence godlike intelligence there's
00:49:58.180 no putting it back in the bottle joe allen absolutely uh you know it cuts both ways though
00:50:05.140 they've promoted all sorts of technologies that simply haven't lived up to the promise everything
00:50:10.100 from the flying car to the autonomous car it's very it's very difficult to tell when they are trying to
00:50:16.740 cover their tracks in order to push a technology forward under our noses uh but without us knowing it
00:50:22.900 and and when they're just over hyping something you know we're gain that much more momentum you
00:50:27.860 know with with agi though you know steve i agree on that line between homo sapiens 1.0 and homo sapiens 2.0
00:50:36.420 i would say we're already at 1.5 to the extent that our lives are dominated by the digital to the extent
00:50:43.860 that we are basically fused to our digital devices and to the extent that as as modest as this step may be
00:50:52.500 to the extent that the entire planet uh at least in the developed countries uh has been uh at least
00:50:58.740 those who accepted it forcibly injected with an experimental genetic uh uh gene therapy an mrna gene
00:51:05.620 therapy so i think we're already at 4.5 even though we are just you know how to get smart on this
00:51:11.620 uh i got i got i got i got more i got shocked that that that thought that they have created a soul
00:51:18.740 in silico or or a god in silico that will shatter the foundations of many people's view of reality
00:51:27.220 it is in fact a a new religion and it does appear to be coming to fruition to some extent
