00:01:23.560
it here I'm taking the show today into uh upper consciousness levels with the art world here
00:01:28.860
and I'm in the UK at the foundry right now I'm going to take the computer in a second and I'm going
00:01:35.280
to walk down the line so you can see what we're going to deliver on September 13th of this year
00:01:40.760
uh this is a one of we have never ever seen in history a sculpture that shows what happens when
00:01:47.760
soldiers leave home enter into conflict and come home and so this is the soldier's journey
00:01:55.420
it is a 60 foot long bronze wall that is meant to celebrate the United States of America and
00:02:02.880
specifically the veterans historically that have served from World War I till present day
00:02:08.700
so let me give you a show you guys are the first to see this globally I am in the foundry
00:02:14.840
where we have been working on this thing since almost 2021 and let's go for a ride guys
00:02:22.220
so I'm going to walk down the line I'm about halfway and we're going to start at the beginning
00:02:35.540
super dramatic a lot of action not a boring sculpture and that was the mission make something
00:02:46.260
that excites people let's start first scene right here it's the dad saying goodbye to his daughter
00:02:51.540
and she hands him the helmet the mom stands behind the next scene the mom holds the dad
00:03:00.380
holds that arm and on the other side are the soldiers that link with him and pull him forward
00:03:10.060
into the brotherhood of arms gets called forward
00:03:13.680
oh look at this these are real uniforms that we use with the models
00:03:21.360
we sculpted them we even found photographs from some of the soldiers families in those pockets
00:03:28.580
it's a black soldier with a French helmet everything is historical correct rifles
00:03:36.340
and now we're going to jump across to the battle scene
00:03:40.060
battle scenes is incredibly kinetic look at this
00:03:45.740
next figure is charging full tilt let's have a look
00:03:57.440
so what I tried to do is something that's really visceral
00:04:24.000
and you're looking at around six to seven hundred hours of modeling
00:04:28.740
in the studio and then it comes to a foundry where they're chopped apart
00:04:45.080
hey Saban for our radio and podcast audience I just want to describe
00:04:53.560
we're seeing the actual end result of your sculpture
00:05:06.420
I really really wish that I could have done it in the US
00:05:18.720
but we don't have the craftsmanship anymore in our country
00:05:29.700
I think we cast this what Tom how many 400 parts
00:05:53.380
in terms of how they're going to go through the process
00:05:55.740
and you can't do that when you have something that has to be done
00:34:13.040
and Senators are often referred to colloquially
00:35:00.920
influence is being felt on the Republican Party to a
00:35:04.780
colossal degree now um and that's what's what's
00:35:21.140
voice but they're actually dictating the agenda
00:35:30.560
weekly uh questioning of the prime minister and
00:35:33.440
it was basically the war room's agenda it's all of
00:35:35.880
the things that we're pushing now for consent in
00:35:38.700
the united kingdom this is how what's happening in
00:35:41.400
the united states positively is uh is affecting the
00:35:45.140
debate uh here on this side of the atlantic so you
00:35:50.180
mentioned the situation that uh europe needs to step up
00:35:54.220
and indeed indeed indeed it does there's this absurd
00:35:57.380
situation yesterday where uh georgia maloney who's now uh for
00:36:02.980
six months presiding over the g7 nations where she goes a
00:36:07.620
couple of days ago along with uh justin castro and a
00:36:11.080
couple of others to um to to ukraine to mark the war she
00:36:14.960
says you know courageously you know we're not going to let
00:36:17.460
ukraine now we're not going to abandon ukraine it stand
00:36:20.160
alone we're going to give it all the support it needs
00:36:22.040
and then yesterday uh uh crossetti guido crossetti the the defense
00:36:27.580
minister here in italy admits that not only is italy not going to
00:36:31.700
make its two percent nato contributions its contributions are
00:36:35.220
actually going to fall its defense spending is actually going to fall
00:36:37.920
fall this year so you've got this situation where you have these global
00:36:41.440
leaders say yeah you know it's absolutely vitally important that we
00:36:44.560
give ukraine the support it needs it's just purely performative steve
00:36:49.780
okay this is this is the key point this is why you're on here today i want
00:36:54.340
to go back over this what president trump has said and even
00:36:58.240
the europeans uh committed to and they did this back in 14 when
00:37:01.760
they knew what they did in ukraine was going to cause
00:37:04.120
a big problem with russia they're the ones that came up with this to get to the
00:37:08.600
two percent of gdp with all the happy talk and you know
00:37:12.080
macron's going to send troops and you know germany and sweden are we're
00:37:15.120
already out we're not going to send troops this whole fiasco and put guilt
00:37:18.940
tripping us every second of every day every second of every day you've heard
00:37:23.080
maloney and these others particularly as you get close to the g20
00:37:25.620
over and over again we're here for the ukraine we're going to do whatever for
00:37:30.860
the ukraine we know of the million shells that they committed to
00:37:34.260
they've delivered under 300 000 let me repeat that of the
00:37:44.800
there's not enough shells there's not enough ammunition this is why they're
00:37:48.520
losing all these positions and this is terrible this is the
00:37:51.100
this is trump's mega base this is this audience the war room posse this is war
00:37:56.480
room uh they're heartless uh they don't believe in
00:37:59.700
democracy they're they're the neville chamberlains
00:38:01.940
they are short and not even going to get close and they're not even not even
00:38:06.500
going to even try to make it up of the million shells that they committed to
00:38:09.860
then you've got maloney and the rest of this crowd all they're hitting the
00:38:14.280
hit the microphones every time we're there we're going to be there we got it
00:38:18.000
you know and then when you see when the really the money comes
00:38:21.760
they're not going to cut the pensions in italy they're not going to cut
00:38:25.340
the free health care they're not going to cut uh the six weeks seven weeks
00:38:31.800
when it comes to it they're not knowing not going to make the two percent
00:38:34.440
they're going in reverse so just give me the hypocrisy over in europe
00:38:39.360
there's plenty of money this whole this burning thing you got to get to 60
00:38:43.100
billion you got to get to 60 billion guys there's more than enough money in
00:38:46.800
europe right now more than enough they could take care of it 100
00:38:50.400
percent themselves what they want is that is the sucker
00:38:56.600
that's true um and really you know we said this on the on the one part a
00:39:02.660
number of times the reason why continental europe is like this is
00:39:06.380
because it's been trained to be like this by decades from the united states
00:39:10.440
military industrial complex because it's convenient to the mic and it's
00:39:14.920
convenient to the europeans because it means they don't have to spend
00:39:17.600
anything on defense they can push it all into their sort of luxurious generous
00:39:21.940
social welfare contributions which are de facto paid for by the american
00:39:26.820
taxpayer so that's the situation if you want me to break down the numbers
00:39:30.280
then um this is italy's spending numbers then uh the proportion of gdp in 2020 was
00:39:37.000
1.59 percent that you see 1.59 nowhere near two percent um and that's actually
00:39:42.120
going to fall um uh in in 2023 the figures are just coming out now
00:39:47.180
um to 1.46 so it's actually on a downward slope
00:39:51.260
whilst the rhetoric the soaring rhetoric the heroic soaring rhetoric is going
00:39:56.320
upwards the actual reality on the ground is coming down um so you know this has
00:40:02.180
consequences steve and we'll see these consequences in in ukraine um i've got a
00:40:09.160
couple of articles here that will illustrate the point i want to make if
00:40:12.920
denver denver would be so kind just to pull up the first one here
00:40:15.920
ukraine's front line is collapsing this is from newsweek and this is just uh there's a
00:40:21.260
lot to go in here i won't pick it all up i've just got one poll here which just
00:40:25.120
indicates what i call the slow war roomization of the mainstream media here
00:40:29.980
is just one takeaway that that newsweek quotes in in this article
00:40:33.680
zelensky hasn't amended his stated political goals
00:40:37.220
of total territorial liberation it's hard to sell
00:40:42.040
now young folks that they need to go and make sacrifices in meat grinders
00:40:47.640
like bakhmut and adridka to preserve the status quo as opposed to making
00:40:53.340
sacrifices for a tangible total victory steve i've not seen anywhere in the
00:40:58.060
mainstream media the reference to these uh battle line fronts as meat grinders but
00:41:03.240
they're still you know obviously it's it's daily vocabulary here on the wall but
00:41:06.840
it's starting to penetrate through sort of the mainstream media like newsweek and
00:41:10.820
that's just illustrating the reality on the ground as well as our sociopathic
00:41:15.280
overlords in congress are still doing the heroic you know we've got to stand by
00:41:20.880
ukraine the reality on the ground is that this war is not winning it's never going
00:41:24.880
to be won and all they're going to do is continue to push these young kids not so
00:41:29.440
young uh between 40 and 45 into okay hold it but hold it but this okay now now and
00:41:35.900
since they use the term the meat grinder this is the heart of it right now it's not
00:41:40.660
simply an ammunition problem it's an ammunition problem because they haven't
00:41:44.500
gotten their 700,000 shells short from the europeans it certainly is that we're not
00:41:52.800
supplying them like we were there's no doubt about that but the central biggest
00:41:56.160
problem they have is manpower and personnel the generals made this a big deal
00:42:03.380
they said look you first off you have a super corrupt recruiting system in which
00:42:09.320
people are being paid by these parents not to have the kids there the average age of
00:42:13.080
our military is 42 years old folks you got to look at the pictures on the
00:42:17.260
front there this is world war one type trench warfare it's not the best
00:42:21.720
environment for a 42 year old man or woman this is for young people and quite
00:42:26.000
frankly i'm a little shocked that the age of recruitment in ukraine is i think 27
00:42:30.340
they're going to lower to 25 it's met with huge resistance in the united states
00:42:34.120
it's 18 in fact you could argue by the time a soldier hits 25 or 27 he's kind of a
00:42:38.880
little bit on the downside it's that 18 to 25 year old that's full of piss and vinegar
00:42:44.680
that you want now the parents they're the ones that have stopped it that's what we've
00:42:49.480
had the scandals and recruiting the parents have gotten them out of the country or bought
00:42:52.700
them off because they don't want their kids killed and what they think is meaningless
00:42:56.440
the central problem you had this generals fired and then this quasi coup that didn't
00:43:01.360
work out is the general stood up to zelinski and said you keep asking for arms and
00:43:05.660
yes we need arms but the crisis we have we're 500,000 troops short and the reason
00:43:13.420
we're 500,000 troops short so many of the troops have either been killed or maimed
00:43:18.660
such that they can't come back in in combat is that getting the because until
00:43:24.500
that's solved in fact if you made this money and not that we'll ever back off no
00:43:29.140
money but even if you made the money contingent upon the 500,000 which a couple
00:43:32.440
of people in congress have mentioned you they never get the money because they're not going
00:43:35.980
to get the 500,000 it's quite obvious they can't press gang it strongly enough uh ben ben
00:43:42.440
harnwell steve well you know you know it is a an artillery issue it is a manpower issue but
00:43:48.620
the point is that ukraine was never going to be able to win this war that's the point it was
00:43:52.780
never going to win this war ever going to win this war if nato had come in well you know that
00:43:58.240
might have been uh different but then of course if nato had come in that we're talking basically
00:44:02.660
uh a nuclear uh level confrontation between nato and russia so simply just no matter how much uh
00:44:10.780
ukraine was armed and equipped no matter even if it had all of the santa claus wish lists fulfilled
00:44:16.820
within to advise it was never going to be able to win what we are seeing here is exactly what
00:44:21.600
professor mir sharma said back at the beginning i think he might have even came out with it
00:44:26.100
yeah right back in the first week of this war the first days america is going to fight
00:44:32.140
russia down to the last ukrainian and that's what's happening now if you look at it from the
00:44:36.160
ukrainian perspective the domestic political uh ukrainian perspective there's a huge number of
00:44:41.840
people there that really want the government they want zelinski to sit down and talk with putin and
00:44:46.900
come to terms very difficult for them to manifest that desire publicly though given the realities of a
00:44:52.460
of the situation at war because it looks and appears to be unpatriotic but these people are
00:44:56.720
desperate for a conclusion to this war the reason that's not happening is because the united states
00:45:02.120
joe biden ursula von uh von der line another another sociopath these people are keeping this war going
00:45:09.180
that's that's the thing so it's not just an artillery thing it's not just a manpower thing it's not
00:45:14.200
just a money thing ukraine was never going to be able to win this war why because russia was not only
00:45:19.920
was superiorly prepared for this in terms of artillery and manpower has x factor more people
00:45:27.020
it can throw down onto the front line but for for russia this war is existential and it's not for the
00:45:32.920
united states and it's not for nato so russia was always going to put in everything it needed to put
00:45:38.340
in um now if i can just quickly finish with this point just to illustrate this isn't something that
00:45:43.400
the war room is pushing out here because we're spinmeisters of misinformation as the mainstream
00:45:50.200
media would like to say this is now the analysis that we've been presenting for 18 months two years
00:45:55.360
is now being picked up in the mainstream media here's just one final example this is from bloomberg
00:46:00.240
okay ukraine sees risk of ukraine sees risk of russia breaking through defenses by summer so this is now
00:46:08.080
clearly you know just couple that with the newsweek article things are now really in in the last stages
00:46:13.780
the question is how many more people are joe biden and ursula von der lion willing to feed into this
00:46:20.440
meat grinder before the inevitable sit down and and and negotiate comes to pass that's the question
00:46:27.520
how many more people are they going to allow to die
00:46:30.300
well tell me what it seems like right now they're going to continue to push this i mean i don't see any of
00:46:37.660
the g20 you see this they're not my perception is they're not backing off an inch but they need and
00:46:43.020
they they can't go back to their own people say we're going to cut social services we're going to
00:46:46.960
cut the social safety net of europe they need the united states to come in it's not just 60 billion
00:46:51.820
now they're going to need another 60 next year and the year after that this is continual they're
00:46:56.200
going to they're going to fight till the last ukrainian dies or the united states goes bankrupt
00:47:00.780
whatever comes first ben harnwell well it's an illustration steve of just the absolute chaos and disaster
00:47:07.000
mitch mcconnell is leaving the gop in uh you know that that 60 billion i mean he must have been
00:47:13.520
preparing his uh his announcing uh of his resignation even a couple of weeks ago and when he was pushing
00:47:20.660
this on on the senate side it's basically what he's leaving for for the gop and i suppose he's
00:47:26.260
trying to to sabotage trump's chances in november the best he can it's basically the legislative
00:47:31.960
equivalent of a giant middle finger to maga to the american people and and to the trump movement
00:47:39.380
that's what he's doing he's left absolute chaos because he's put congress the republic is in
00:47:44.600
congress in an incredibly difficult position how difficult well hakeem jeffries said today i think
00:47:51.340
you intimated this earlier he came out and said in an interview in in the new york times this morning
00:47:55.700
that they will supply the numbers for the votes um which puts of course mike johnson under tremendous
00:48:02.840
uh difficulty because if he if they pass this steve yeah you're the expert on all this but if they
00:48:09.340
pass this it with with democrats votes johnson's absolutely finished absolutely finished i mean he's
00:48:16.380
his career is over so he now needs to decide is he going is he going to do what the vast majority of
00:48:23.700
republican want him to do and say no to this spending the 60 billion or is he just going to
00:48:29.100
sort of roll over say yes to the spending yes to another continuing resolution um and then of course
00:48:35.960
the only thing that will happen is that he drags on the inevitable so if they say no first of all
00:48:40.960
maga needs to hold the line here he needs to continue to put pressure on on all congressmen that's
00:48:45.440
absolutely essential hold the line no not one red cent further and that will give the impetus
00:48:51.660
to zelensky and the people in ukraine that want to see this war negotiated into a conclusion
00:48:57.880
of course we'll get to you tomorrow uh putin i don't know if he raised the stakes or gave reality
00:49:04.580
to macron running around saying hey we're going to put combat troops in i think he said today or
00:49:09.440
was releasing a report they had that uh if you send nato combat troops i may answer with tactical
00:49:15.420
nuclear weapons so this is a very dangerous situation and we're playing with fire over there
00:49:20.040
ben how do people get to you on social media i know you've got a tremendous engagement you put up
00:49:24.620
amazing stuff we'll have you back on tomorrow it's a lot going on in europe a lot going on in parliament
00:49:29.800
uh they're they're they're on fire leading up to this european parliamentary election in june i think
00:49:36.160
they're 100 days away from that or 120 days just like we're all over the fall election of president
00:49:42.540
