Transcript
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
00:00:11.480
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:18.460
authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just
00:00:24.380
like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:29.120
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the
00:00:33.560
fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your
00:00:40.580
host Stephen K Bannon okay uh thank you for coming into the second hour I understand the first been
00:00:49.040
a little intense uh as all day today has been you know this book out um by Isaac Arnsdorf of the
00:00:56.660
Bezos Washington Post out by Little Brown uh the publisher can finish what we started it's really
00:01:02.760
the history of um the precinct strategy and the grassroots movement the MAGA movement since uh
00:01:09.840
basically January of 2021 right after the stolen election um and it's really focused on Dan
00:01:16.420
Schultz's precinct strategy and what evolved from that and what led to the removal of Kevin McCarthy
00:01:21.220
led to the removal of Ronald McDaniel at the RNC led to the removal essentially of uh Mitch McConnell
00:01:28.320
as minority leader uh for his stepping down all of it what was the power behind this how do people
00:01:34.540
get engaged and quite frankly how did they get beat up in the process uh and we're going to start
00:01:39.360
highlighting those heroes because it's it's not always pleasant I keep telling people this is a fight
00:01:46.500
you're not really welcomed and patted on the head and the book shows that the book actually shows I
00:01:51.220
think the most powerful part of the book for our audience is not just go through the chronology
00:01:57.140
so that you kind of have that in your mental map about exactly what happened here but also uh
00:02:02.940
Arnsdorf has no anonymous quotes this is all people that were in this fight including many of the
00:02:09.160
people that opposed us and you see the world through their eyes and you particularly see what they
00:02:14.500
thought of Trump supporters and MAGA coming to the first meetings and showing up these precinct
00:02:19.060
strategies and and quite frankly the I wouldn't say it was hatred but the disdain that they feel for
00:02:25.300
the MAGA movement and particularly for the individuals associated with the MAGA movement and this is one of the
00:02:29.520
things that's so uh uh enlightening Annie Parchet joins us uh from Illinois uh head of the Illinois
00:02:37.180
uh alliance uh alliance or the alliance for freedom in Illinois and now uh a a senior the senior member
00:02:43.800
of a uh of the Rock Island GOP uh Annie tells you give us your journey how how did this start
00:02:51.100
because you've had a huge fight out there's a huge victory for us because I keep arguing
00:02:55.160
Illinois is MAGA not just downstate I think Chicago is MAGA we just got to break the grip of the
00:03:01.580
Democratic Party up there and stealing these elections walk us through how how you became
00:03:06.260
uh head of the GOP I I would love to do that but first I would like to make sure that the people of
00:03:13.100
Illinois need to um consider that the current congressman for Illinois 17 Eric Sorensen he is um
00:03:20.560
he's participated in all age drag shows he reads books um he approves of books being read to children
00:03:27.420
by men dressed as women and we have a candidate that can defeat him he's a respected former prosecutor
00:03:33.660
and judge his name's Joe McGraw you can find out more about him at Joe McGraw and dot com but um the
00:03:41.040
previous the previous leadership at um the um local GOP um they they weren't looking for new members
00:03:50.880
and um we tried and we tried and they said um well we aren't going to change who we are
00:03:57.360
you can't change everything so you need to just go do it yourself if you think you're so smart
00:04:01.540
and so we've spent three years hang on for a second hang for a second well tell me about this guy tell
00:04:09.160
me about this race right now I don't think people throughout the country and MAGA throughout the
00:04:12.520
country know it rewind for a second give me that rewind for you oh you bet um so what we have here in
00:04:19.380
um Illinois is there's a race for Illinois 17 and um the current uh the current incumbent he
00:04:26.980
um brings a pro a radical pro climate change ideology to the office but we have a respected
00:04:33.600
former prosecutor and judge his name is Joe McGraw and um he is he's going to be fantastic for this
00:04:41.020
he's going to win this race because the grassroots groups and now the GOP we are going to work together
00:04:46.680
to make that happen and we have another top priority and that's for Charlie Helmick he's in
00:04:51.760
a winnable district against a guy who works for the unions Charlie's a marine he worked for FedEx for
00:04:57.140
years and he owns a small business insurance agency with his wife he's devoted to life liberty and
00:05:02.260
constitutional principles so we we have the candidates we have we have races to win and um the the it's
00:05:10.780
really important that the previous party leadership didn't make any effort to um recruit candidates for
00:05:17.320
our county and countywide offices when you go to the polling place you see democrat candidates and it
00:05:22.300
says no republican candidate so we're in I my one of my first things to do is to make sure that we fill
00:05:29.620
those positions and we build the party and promote pro taxpayer pro freedom policies we have until June to
00:05:37.340
nominate candidates for these offices the state's attorney's office is especially important
00:05:42.600
position because we have to have prolonged first enforcement candidates in office when we have a
00:05:48.340
governor that is against all of that and under my leadership and with the guidance of the precinct
00:05:53.980
strategy.com we're going to see those numbers climb and climb not only that but the teams we build
00:05:59.340
will inspire to be will be inspired to work hard stick around and become productive members of the
00:06:05.220
community and our gop and you can reach both of us uh you can reach um the illinois county gop or
00:06:13.300
illinois freedom alliance right here and we have people standing by we will we will get you to a team in
00:06:19.100
your county your precinct that will help you become an active participant the only people that are going
00:06:24.920
to be disappointed are the ones that sit in the recliner complaining about what's not going right and
00:06:30.660
they aren't up doing something it's not easy it's really hard i'm getting i'm getting um a lot of
00:06:37.920
pushback but i have so much support too because we are done doing things as they've always been done
00:06:45.500
because we have to have better results and i made a commitment over a year ago on your show that we are
00:06:51.440
going to turn illinois red and we are going to do it we have to do it
00:06:56.460
talk to me about the pushback and talk to me about the fight you've had to have to become the
00:07:02.620
head of the gop and what what is the pushback we understand you have tremendous support the
00:07:07.560
precinct strategy particularly illinois illinois grows every day uh but you're getting pushback
00:07:12.360
what is the pushback and how are you going to fight through it you know that um it's interesting
00:07:17.940
because while i have some pushback i have double the number of people who want to make things happen
00:07:24.300
the main the main question and concern that people are having is how can a leader of the grass of a
00:07:30.900
grassroots group also be the leader of a gop office what they don't understand is that we are one in the
00:07:38.580
same it's just that it's just that the doors haven't been open that it's been a little suspicious
00:07:43.820
for annie parcha from the illinois freedom lines to tell everyone join the gop because it's like me
00:07:50.560
telling everyone hey my next door neighbor's door is open why don't you walk in what we need is the
00:07:55.940
gop to say come in the door is open i've been working with um mr don tracy the chairman for the
00:08:03.020
the um state of illinois gop he is on board and he has even in his most recent newsletter he has asked
00:08:10.700
people to come up step up become a precinct committeeman so while the journey is hard and while
00:08:17.080
there's um while i'm getting pushback i'm getting more support and because of because i don't it
00:08:24.660
because i have valid um answers to objections people have people that were really hard on me the night
00:08:32.920
that the election that i won the election have already come to work at the with me at the headquarters
00:08:39.660
for the illinois freedom alliance because we have a 2500 square foot office that we have donors providing
00:08:46.340
the space for us and we are going to work side by side because the people that work at illinois freedom
00:08:51.840
line are precinct committeemen this and so we're going to be working together to show that there is
00:08:59.420
no difference between a citizen that belongs to the grass a grassroots organization or a citizen that
00:09:05.320
belongs to the gop we are the same people and so we have to stop what what why why wasn't this
00:09:15.420
self-evidence to the gop uh that you guys would be the muscle that maga is the muscle for victories
00:09:21.940
it's it's 80 or 85 percent of the vote in any primary sometimes 99 for 95 percent vote why is there
00:09:30.080
been this resistance if you read the book finish what we started you see they take some examples from
00:09:34.800
around the country i think particularly georgia and arizona where there's just this resistance from
00:09:39.800
people that have been there but they haven't been winning elections they're getting overwhelmed they're not
00:09:44.460
really building the base but as soon as the precinct strategy as soon as annie shows up it's like oh my
00:09:49.740
gosh we can't these are the unwashed masses we can't have these people participate we've got to figure
00:09:54.840
out how to get them out as soon as possible why has there been that mentality well when i when i first
00:10:01.080
went to the gop office i thought that was going to be a busy hub a busy hub i thought that i thought that
00:10:07.720
i was going to just walk in and i would just be barely be able to find a seat and all my life i thought
00:10:12.600
well somebody else is doing it so when you go down to the gop office and they don't have any volunteers
00:10:17.860
for whatever reasons um that it it was shocking to me and so we realized that we have to we have to do
00:10:24.360
this ourselves but they were suspicious because we're they didn't know us and they didn't know that
00:10:30.540
we were all um the my friends that came down we were prior um gop i worked i retired as um at the
00:10:38.460
as a uh from the military i was enlisted and then i retired as a civilian employee at the military
00:10:45.740
equivalent of major and so um i understand organizational development i was adjutant to
00:10:52.220
a commander and we stood up a battalion um that in seven countries in europe in 2016 and when i retire
00:11:00.040
i find out that illinois needs the same structure it's easy now and and um the chairman or the chairman of
00:11:07.380
about four different gop offices or grassroots groups have also been elected in illinois we've
00:11:15.060
unseated people that um so it's not that they're bad people but they weren't personable enough and
00:11:20.860
they and they were they weren't studying the precinct strategy a lot of people on the executive board
00:11:26.780
before um before we the other executive boards were told that when you um all we need is you to come
00:11:34.020
to a meeting once a month and so it won't take any of your time they weren't prepared they weren't
00:11:39.440
trained to be precinct committeemen so with dan schultz's help our training team has developed
00:11:45.460
very good precinct committeemen training and we've been training for three years we've been we've
00:11:51.100
recruited hundreds of precinct committeemen and they often could not get in the door so we helped
00:11:55.740
them develop their set up their own illinois freedom alliance chapter in their county or else they have
00:12:01.680
um we've we've helped them um by where i work with chairman i've helped them get through the door
00:12:07.900
that way and also um just by built just by joining the local grassroots groups in their community so
00:12:16.040
um that's that's the story no the dan schultz we're gonna have everybody go we're gonna give
00:12:22.320
your social media so people can go and use you guys as a tool but i want to ask what's the overall
00:12:27.840
political environment not just for maga but what is your sense the overall political environment in
00:12:32.680
illinois right now where are citizens heads at what do they think about the economy the direction of the
00:12:38.260
country we're six months before election day where do you think uh illinois is and let's leave
00:12:44.560
chicago out i'm sorry i'm downstate illinois where do you think people the citizens what is their
00:12:49.500
perspective on where we are the the best example i can give you is that the illinois freedom alliance is
00:12:56.280
working with some grassroots groups in central illinois and we're hosting a grassroots rising
00:13:00.400
all day event on saturday in peoria illinois there are no more meal tickets available we've sold out
00:13:06.660
but we do have seats available for um general public at 35 at the illinois freedom alliance.us website
00:13:13.720
but the the lineup for this event it includes the um elite the leaders from the um patriots united for
00:13:21.900
america that's a large um group that meets every month in peoria and actually they open chapters
00:13:27.680
and two more and they have a hundred people show up um we have we have um john bach from gun saves
00:13:33.180
life coming he he has like 13 chapters in illinois so we we've built this grassroots rising the truth
00:13:40.220
revealed event um to to just because our total entire lineup is based on feedback i have received from
00:13:48.900
the communities i travel across illinois all the time meeting with grassroots groups and talking to
00:13:54.800
gop chairman and finding best practices we have um kirk allen coming um from illinois leaks and john
00:14:02.560
schrock from john birch society will be our keynote speaker he's going to talk about agenda 2030
00:14:07.900
rochelle arnold's going to talk about the co2 pipeline that's where people's heads are they want
00:14:12.880
information they want uncensored information and we have terry newsome you know terry from behind
00:14:18.840
enemy lines he's going to be talking about the invasion of illinois people don't understand
00:14:23.720
that what's going on in chicago right now is coming down interstate 88 and they're coming into our to our
00:14:29.600
rural communities and there's no there's no way to avoid this we have to be prepared for it because
00:14:38.320
it is happening it's happening now so that's my answer to you um i'll be speaking at that event
00:14:45.720
because we've been teaching um we've been using um the cause of america cause for america return to
00:14:52.700
hand counting um class we have trained 40 teachers how to teach return to hand counting if anybody in
00:15:00.760
listening distance wants to have us come and teach their group or their county how to hand count ballots
00:15:08.320
we have 40 teachers all over the state we can make that happen quickly and you can call us at
00:15:13.760
309-377-1776 to get that ball rolling. There's no reason for us to be dropping our ballots into
00:15:22.020
machines. How do people get to information about this Saturday? Because that's an eclectic and
00:15:32.580
interesting lineup, but you're right. The folks in Chicago will tell you, you know, Ben Burkron
00:15:36.980
has been up there interviewing African-Americans in their city, and they're being overwhelmed,
00:15:41.140
but you're absolutely correct. What's happening in Chicago is being visited because it's a sanctuary
00:15:45.560
city on the African-American and Hispanic citizens in Chicago, but it ain't staying in Chicago. What
00:15:50.880
happens in Chicago is not staying there. It's definitely going to come throughout the entire
00:15:54.260
state, and those folks are the ones giving a warning. It's destroying the communities inside
00:15:59.080
of inner-city Chicago. Eventually, it's going to destroy and engulf all of Illinois. So where do
00:16:03.340
people go, Annie, to come to this event on Saturday? You can call us at 309-377-1776,
00:16:12.220
or you can go to illinoisfreedomalliance.us, and you can get your tickets there.
00:16:20.380
Well, we're going to have a gun raffle, a silent auction, and 50-50.
00:16:26.620
Annie, your social media, where do people go, and your website?
00:16:29.840
Our website, illinoisfreedomalliance.us. You will find all of the links to all of our social
00:16:37.200
media pages at our website, and you can sign up for our email list there as well. You can make a
00:16:46.580
donation. Everything that we do is paid for by donations and by product because one of the things
00:16:53.920
we do, the other thing is that we publish a magazine called Grassroots Quarterly because we
00:16:59.900
got tired of all of our stories being censored. So we created a sleek, if you go up to areas of
00:17:06.560
impact and go to Grassroots Quarterly, you'll see that we've recreated a beautiful, glossy magazine
00:17:15.200
that we get to provide information. This is not a bash the other guy publication. This is about true
00:17:24.380
information that people need in order to become effective leaders in their community. You do not
00:17:30.380
need to worry about what's going on at the state level if you know what's going on in your block.
00:17:36.560
We have to get the precinct strategy. Precinctstrategy.com has more information than you can
00:17:42.440
imagine. A chat room for you to communicate with other precinct committeemen in your area. And
00:17:49.440
the special edition, Constitution Special Edition that's coming out just in time for the conference,
00:17:58.360
the state conference in Illinois in May, is really important. And I have to say that it's
00:18:05.520
completely paid for by advertisers and subscribers, and we need both very, very, very much. So it's a
00:18:14.240
way to reach an audience of grassroots groups. These are not distributed in grocery stores. They are
00:18:20.700
distributed at meetings across Illinois. So people support this publication. It's really heartfelt.
00:18:31.260
It takes a lot of hours. But our team is wonderful. And the story lineup that we have, it's going to tell
00:18:38.260
you, make you totally aware of the constitutional rights that are, have been jeopardized by the leadership
00:18:45.260
in Illinois. We just, we have to work together. And the first step is to understanding the topics, understanding
00:18:53.260
exactly what's at stake and do not. The only reason you should be listening to CBS, NBC or ABC, if you want
00:19:01.200
to understand what's not the truth. So that's what we need to do. If they're saying it there, they're
00:19:07.200
saying there, it's a, you need to go to Steve Bannon's war room and you need to find out the truth or
00:19:13.620
Annie, you're a fire brand and that's why Illinois is starting to turn around. We're going to turn
00:19:19.880
Illinois purple first step and then Illinois red. It's not a blue state and particularly Chicago. It's
00:19:26.260
not a blue state at all. So you're doing God's work. Thank you so much. Look forward to having
00:19:30.260
you back on a good success this Saturday at the big event. Thank you so much, Steve. Thank you very,
00:19:36.020
very much. I really appreciate it. Yes, ma'am. These are the fighters are making a difference
00:19:41.780
throughout the country. This is how you turn the country around. This is why the guy wrote the book.
00:19:46.060
Remember, it says MAGA movements ground war to end democracy. Their version of what they define
00:19:53.180
as democracy, which is a rigged deal. It's the annies of the world that are going to stop that.
00:19:59.080
They cannot defeat MAGA. It's not over until we say it's over and they know that and they fear that.
00:20:06.280
And that's a perfect example of Dan Schultz's one of the many, many, many victories throughout the
00:20:10.120
country. We're going to try to highlight them all, but also make sure you get all the information of
00:20:13.900
how to participate because it's all about your agency. Chris joins us, Chris, with Volt Typhoon,
00:20:22.020
everything I'm seeing. We were in, you know, we had a gladiator school last week in Las Vegas.
00:20:27.480
The 911 went down. I think it went down for a day or two. And it turns out there were eight or nine
00:20:31.560
states regionally happened all the same time. Nobody's been able to explain, you know, John Mills is out
00:20:37.440
there talking about the CCP's effort to take down our infrastructure and bid into the software,
00:20:43.180
the infrastructure. Now more than ever, people are sitting there telling, they come up to me all
00:20:48.220
the time, there's something feels like it's not right. And what I tell people is that, hey,
00:20:52.720
forget the feeling of not right. Assume it's not right. But what are you doing individually to
00:20:57.420
prepare for it? That's what you need to do. You need to get ahead of the curve because just like
00:21:01.680
Annie said right there with the Freedom Alliance, we need you guys at the ramparts. The only way we're
00:21:06.220
saving the country is you guys at the ramparts. We can't have you taken off the ramparts because of
00:21:11.280
a technical issue or a financial issue or a health issue. That's what our opponents help to do. Tell
00:21:16.780
us about a satellite phone store. What do you got for us, brother? Well, Steve, I mean, you're absolutely
00:21:21.760
right. The infrastructure is under attack. I mean, what was most jarring for me in the last week was
00:21:26.440
the cyber army of Russia reborn that has now claimed and been proven to, of course, the attack on the
00:21:32.800
water system in Muleshoe, Texas. And that was a dry run, Steve, I think. It's like they took over
00:21:39.320
this water system. They spilled thousands of gallons of fresh water into the ocean. And that was, you
00:21:45.040
know, they were proving they could do it. We've seen other attacks on the cell phone networks, as
00:21:49.620
you were saying last, just last week, the second time in two months. What this means is that we are
00:21:55.940
very vulnerable, as the FBI director has been saying over and over again, we're very vulnerable to attack and
00:22:01.420
they are coming for us. So being prepared is how to be a patriot. And the one thing that one of the few
00:22:08.000
things that we can do for you at sat123.com is make sure that you have access to communications
00:22:14.200
when they attack us again and when they take it down, the cell phone networks and the 911 service
00:22:20.000
again. A satellite phone works when cell towers go down or when the power grid goes down, they will
00:22:25.120
keep working. Cell phones will not. So it's very important that we as patriots are armed with the right
00:22:30.840
equipment. And a satellite phone is one of those things that you need to make sure that you can
00:22:35.420
stay in touch, that you can stay safe and protect you and your family. They will continue to work no
00:22:40.900
matter what these cyber attackers are doing. So if you go to sat123.com, Steve, you can get a free
00:22:45.960
satellite phone with activation. This phone will cost you anywhere up to $2,000 anywhere else in the
00:22:51.240
country. But you can go to sat123.com today, get that free satellite phone. When you activate your
00:22:56.660
phone, it's about 90 bucks a month, you're getting 100 minutes a month, and those minutes roll over.
00:23:02.100
We also have a phone number you can call 941-955-1020. That's 941-955-1020. And our US-based
00:23:10.600
customer service reps will be able to talk you through the equipment you need and the plans you
00:23:15.280
need and get you set up right away. We also have generators, portable solar power generators, Steve,
00:23:21.360
that will keep going when that power is out. And they can power anything from a small fridge in your
00:23:26.420
phones, up to your entire house. So all of these things are things that you can do to help America
00:23:32.400
be prepared for when the next attack comes. And you could take the strain off of the government,
00:23:37.920
right? They can only do so much. We need to be protecting ourselves. And sat phones and
00:23:42.280
solar power generators are two ways to do that.
00:23:47.420
Chris, one more time, give the number, where do people go? Because I want everybody,
00:23:50.640
these offers are limited to when you get material, and that's when you jump on.
00:23:55.640
And the posse knows that, but I want to know where they go right now.
00:24:00.060
Either go to sat123.com, so that's sat123.com, or call us at 941-955-1020. That's 941-955-1020.
00:24:09.960
And as again, Steve, as always, we really appreciate your support and support of the
00:24:14.140
war room posse to help make, get Americans prepared for what seems to be pretty inevitable
00:24:21.360
Chris Hort, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
00:24:27.420
I'm going to go to, we're going to get into, we're going to get into Ukraine and the whole
00:24:30.800
geopolitics of it. You heard it this morning with Jim Rickards, the global currency structure,
00:24:38.400
the global currency system. And remember, I'm a big believer in economic warfare. I am.
00:24:44.360
I think that you've got to be very hesitant about how you use it, when you use it. These
00:24:51.140
are bullets that just don't, once you shoot some of these bullets, A, you can't take it
00:24:56.020
back, but B, you don't have a, you're not going to have another bullet in the chamber.
00:25:00.600
I've been very adamant from the beginning, it's the Chinese Communist Party. If we cut
00:25:04.240
them off from access to our capital markets, both debt and equity, if you cut them off from
00:25:10.140
our technology and that can be done by really dropping the hammer in Silicon Valley from
00:25:14.440
trading us out and from the venture capitalists there, the CCP would have a very difficult
00:25:19.380
time making it past 100 days. They are completely and totally reliant. This is why they fight
00:25:25.680
so hard for coupling. And this is why we've been such an adamant since we're the lead in
00:25:30.680
the take down the CCP movement, is to make sure that we address that situation and what needs
00:25:38.200
to be done about it. They are the mortal enemy of all free people, because they are a communist
00:25:45.480
Marxist dictatorship. They start with Lao Bajing, their own people, but then they, they've now
00:25:51.900
infiltrated and have elite, not just capture, but elite merger, as Natalie Winters and Jack
00:25:56.960
Posobiec say so often. This volt typhoon, what is happening in cyber and now combined with artificial
00:26:03.040
intelligence is not normal. You've had the FBI director out a number of times, and it looks like
00:26:08.260
he's trying to say, when it happens, I told you so. But we're adamant about this, is that you've got
00:26:13.740
to think about it. We've given you the information, you think it through, but the situation with cyber
00:26:18.380
and the, in the vulnerability, as Frank Gaffney and others from the Committee on Present Danger
00:26:22.620
have been here so many times, telling you about the vulnerability of our infrastructure, particularly
00:26:27.480
the grid, telecommunications, all of it. It's one of the reasons on our sponsors, we select our sponsors
00:26:32.980

We're going to return the worm in just a moment. True or false? Using your tax refund to pay off
00:27:03.460
credit card debt is a smart thing. Actually, that's false. Donewithdebt.com published a brilliant
00:27:09.720
strategy designed to let you keep your hard-earned tax refund and reduce or eliminate credit card debt.
00:27:17.180
Most Americans owe thousands in credit card debt. In fact, Daily Mail's got a story that 56 million
00:27:22.760
Americans carry credit card debt, and that debt will take years to pay off, if you pay it off at all.
00:27:30.520
Donewithdebt found that filing bankruptcy is usually not the answer, and taking out loans to pay off
00:27:35.880
credit cards usually increases the debt. When you engage Donewithdebt, their legal experts and skilled
00:27:42.580
negotiators take on the credit card companies for you. Their winning strategies are designed with
00:27:47.440

00:28:14.460
to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed
00:28:20.260
through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring
00:28:25.740
our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the
00:28:31.920
independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning
00:28:37.640
about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:28:42.960
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand
00:28:48.040
their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong
00:28:54.480
causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:29:01.740
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards,
00:29:08.360
an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes
00:29:13.440
is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue
00:29:37.140
signaling when you're simply trying to buy products? Progressive corporate America continues
00:29:43.720
to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the
00:29:51.200
American dream. It's prominent all over the country. Companies like Starbucks strong-arming
00:29:57.140
their customers to support abortion. Financial services like PayPal canceling customers for
00:30:02.440
their political views. Makeup companies like Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting
00:30:07.760
transgender models. And beer companies like Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you
00:30:14.300
want is to enjoy a cold beer. Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our
00:30:21.360
hard-earned dollars. With Public Square, we now have a solution. It's simple. Join the movement of

00:31:37.860
I don't have any question about that, Hugh. I know that history is going to judge this well.
00:31:42.060
It was the right thing to do. This is a very dangerous time. We truly do have a new axis
00:31:47.880
of evil. You have China and Russia and Iran and often North Korea working together in coordination.
00:31:54.820
They're funding one another's aggressions. And the reason you and I both know, and you highlight this
00:31:59.660
all the time, the reason this is happening is because the current president is projecting weakness
00:32:04.440
on the world stage, and our adversaries are acting aggressively and provocatively and taking
00:32:09.600
advantage of that. So we had this moment in time, Hugh, this historic question. Would America stand
00:32:15.640
stand by our allies? Stand by Israel? The beleaguered people have...
00:32:20.460
Okay. Okay. I'm going to have that replayed. Okay. No. The invasion on the southern border that you
00:32:27.440
promised and committed to shut this government down, to stop or to not fund anything, that is the
00:32:33.880
right side of history. So don't give me your Polly Pockets happy talk with the clown show,
00:32:38.540
Hugh Hewitt gaslighting radio show, okay? No. We are on the right side of history, and you, sir, are a
00:32:48.400
traitor. You committed to the American people to shut down the border. We have, according to you, 15
00:32:55.060
million illegal alien invaders in the country. That is the number one, the number two, the number three
00:33:00.460
priority in this country, and not, in your own words, in your own words, the intel committee, and the
00:33:06.700
puff piece in Politico, you told Jonathan Martin, quote, it was the intelligence community, and it was
00:33:14.000
the NATO generals, the European generals, that are really at the forefront of this, that convinced you.
00:33:20.800
Put forward the evidence. You won't put it forward because it's not there. You sold out your country, you
00:33:30.660
sold out your countrymen, and now you're trying to skip around, you know, because all your church,
00:33:36.300
you're Churchill, you're Polly Pockets, not Churchill, you're a goofball that's in over its head, and
00:33:43.860
instead of doing what you told people and look people in the eye and say you were going to do
00:33:49.120
this, you went and did the exact opposite, and you gave them a free pass, and even in doing that,
00:33:55.540
you got no concessions. So you're a clown at every aspect, and we are going to dog you until we drive
00:34:03.400
you out of here. And I understand people are saying, Steve, I don't know, it's only 30% of
00:34:07.400
the people, it's only a couple of guys. Hey, that's fine. You don't think we fought longer
00:34:10.920
odds in the war room before? You don't think we fought longer odds when I ran Breitbart before?
00:34:17.560
Folks, we've had odds so long, people said, you're a moron for doing this, and guess what?
00:34:23.400
We always fought, and we always got it. So I don't care about the odds. I'm not somebody sitting
00:34:30.340
here looking at odds and what are we going to do, and oh, let's do it. Well, we're doing what's right,
00:34:34.680
and we're not going to back off, and we're going to dog this guy. People are sitting there,
00:34:39.200
well, he's a Christian. You know, he is a Christian. Prove it, and don't tell me about
00:34:44.180
reading some Bible verse. I mean in your actions in the arena when it counts. You gave the money to
00:34:51.120
the globalists. You gave the money to people that are child trafficking. You gave it to the people
00:34:55.440
that are human trafficking. You gave it to the people with the bioweapons labs. Did you get any
00:34:59.620
concessions out of that? Did you get any information out of that? Did you get anything out of that?
00:35:04.040
You know what you're funding. So if you're a Christian, and that's what you're funding,
00:35:08.620
count me out. Count me out. That's why you in Langford, because of your churchy weakness,
00:35:16.180
which you exude every day in this kind of, you know, quoting Bible verse, while you're helping
00:35:23.900
satanic forces, is the greatest recruiting tool Islam ever had. Because they're going to sit there
00:35:31.180
and go, those are your leaders. If that's who God's raised up to lead you, then where are they
00:35:37.180
leading you to? Johnson, you're nothing but lead. You're Pharaoh's army heading towards the Red Sea
00:35:45.420
is what you're doing. And you've joined the demonic. You've underwritten. You're a quizling.
00:35:51.300
Just like in World War II in Norway, you're a quizling. All you're doing is working for the
00:35:56.200
other side and trying to pontificate about your deep-rooted Christianity. Prove it. Prove it in
00:36:04.680
Ukraine. You underwrote the child trafficking. You've underwritten the sex trafficking. You've
00:36:11.660
underwritten the biolabs. Did your briefings, did your highly secure briefings, what did it tell you
00:36:16.540
about that? Did you get a briefing about that? What did it tell you about the child trafficking? What you
00:36:22.160
allowed to happen in the United States? The child trafficking, the sex trafficking, the drug
00:36:27.140
trafficking, the war, the second opium war they got about that? What were the security briefings you
00:36:31.320
got on the southern border? Why did you let this? Why have you let this go down? Because it hasn't
00:36:35.200
changed. Another 10,000 I've come across today. And in your briefings with the NATO generals, did they
00:36:41.740
tell you 10,000 is a combat division? Did you get that? Did you write that down? Polly Pockets?
00:36:46.920
You're detestable. Because your actions, not your words in your biblical worldview. Don't
00:36:55.960
give me your biblical worldview. Let me see that through your actions. Let me see that
00:37:00.740
you're taking on demonic forces. Not the running dog of demonic forces. Ben Harnwell, demonic
00:37:09.800
forces. The Ukraine. There is such deep darkness in Ukraine. And now we've given Biden the ability
00:37:18.880
to bribe them some more so they keep quiet. When we have the investigation, because we will
00:37:24.080
conquer on this one. We will win. When the investigation, I want you to remember all this
00:37:29.160
yelling and screaming I was doing for years and years and years. I want, when we sit there
00:37:32.680
and in public hearings and in criminal trials, when you see what we were financing in Ukraine
00:37:38.060
and you see what American officials knew, and you see what American officials did with
00:37:42.380
your money, and you see what Johnson and these guys had every ability to stop it and look
00:37:45.960
the other way, when you see it, when you see all the ugliness and what's underneath that
00:37:50.340
scab, you're going to say, oh my God, why didn't anybody tell me at the time? Well, I am
00:37:55.020
telling you at the time. There's something deep and very dark about what's going on in Ukraine.
00:38:00.740
There's something deep and very dark about what we are underwriting. Ben Harnwell, the floor
00:38:05.980
is yours, sir, from Rome. Good afternoon, Steve. Well, listening to Mike, no Johnson,
00:38:12.440
Johnson there, it's clear that Saturday for him was really, in Orwellian terms, it was
00:38:17.880
a four legs good, two legs better moment, because he just pivoted and abandoned every principle
00:38:24.460
he was supposedly trying to defend. Saturday, the 20th of April, was a important date, not
00:38:31.220
just because of what happened, of course, in the House of Representatives and the vote
00:38:35.800
authorising this $61 billion to Ukraine. Something else happened on Saturday. We haven't been able
00:38:43.700
to cover it until now, but here we go. In the early hours of Saturday morning, Steve, in Ukraine,
00:38:49.560
in Odessa, on a country road down to Odessa, there was a shoot-up between two soldiers serving
00:38:56.020
in the Ukrainian army and two police guys. Standard traffic check. One of the police guys,
00:39:04.180
both the police guys were actually killed and shot by the two soldiers, but thanks to the
00:39:08.100
body cam one of the cops was wearing, he recorded the whole thing. They stopped this guy. They
00:39:13.560
had an amiable chat about where they were going, what they were doing, where they were fighting,
00:39:18.520
and then it turned sour. They said, look, we just want to check over the car, if that's all right.
00:39:24.900
And when they checked, there were some ammunition boxes in the car. When the cops went to check those,
00:39:30.240
the younger guy, who's the son of the father, there's a father and son serving together in the army,
00:39:35.940
shot them both dead. In this car, Steve, were boxes and boxes. We know this because the car,
00:39:42.180
along with the soldiers, thanks to the body cam footage, was apprehended in Odessa as they were
00:39:47.660
trying to flee the country. What was in this car, Steve, were grenades. And this is just an example.
00:39:54.620
We only know this. The only reason the world knows about this is because of this body cam footage.
00:39:59.500
It's happening left, right and center. And what was happening is that these two serving soldiers
00:40:03.780
in Ukraine were taking arms. And you've got to get, here's the best article I found on this.
00:40:10.340
The only article I found of this is in the Times. Steve, you have to go to the literally,
00:40:14.920
literally, the very last line of this article. Obviously, I'd realized what was going on halfway
00:40:21.100
through when it talks about boxes of grenades. The men are suspected of involvement in a weapon
00:40:26.480
smuggling ring. And that's just what's happening, right? So you guys in the United States, your taxes,
00:40:33.720
you're buying ordinance, sending it over to Ukraine. That's the young cop there that was shot dead by one
00:40:41.760
of the soldiers that you see in that photo. And this is where it's going, right? So when Zelensky
00:40:48.260
is interfering in domestic US politics, bitching that he doesn't have enough grenades, he doesn't
00:40:54.380
have enough military ordinance, US taxpayers are letting him down, he would have more means to fight
00:41:00.240
this war if he actually drilled down on the corruption. Here's another example still on the
00:41:06.560
subject, Steve, of corruption. This is just illustrating what's going on in Ukraine now.
00:41:11.580
The Ukraine agriculture minister is officially under investigation. The average, by the way,
00:41:19.200
Steve, the average salary in Ukraine, it's $650 per month equivalent, right? This agriculture minister
00:41:25.700
had bought $7.35 million worth of state-owned land in Ukraine and was trying to buy another $4.5 million
00:41:39.220
worth. How he got the money to buy this land is a mystery. He says, oh, no, look, this all happened
00:41:47.540
years ago. Folks, move on. There's nothing to see here. The state corruption agency is digging down on
00:41:56.080
this. But yeah, here are two stories in the last couple of days, Steve. Everyone in the US, especially
00:42:02.840
in the GOP, very sad to see, is drilling down saying how important it is that this $61 billion is going to
00:42:09.020
go to Ukraine, all the difference it's going to make. The reality on the ground is that they're
00:42:23.500
Let's talk about, I also want to talk about the Reuters story on the recruiting, because, okay,
00:42:27.000
first off, as Chip Roy showed the other day, only of the $129 billion we already sent, only about $40
00:42:34.520
to $50 billion had reached the battlefield as far as equipment. The rest had gone somewhere to support
00:42:41.160
the government. Well, we've never had accounting for any of it, even that split, which the Biden
00:42:46.220
regime has been lying about. So essentially, $60 to $70 billion went in the first two years or the
00:42:53.660
first 18 months to support the government or whatever. And we know Zelensky's guys are stealing
00:42:58.880
with both hands, because as you've reported, Alexander Burns of the CIA, the head of the CIA,
00:43:03.520
went to Kiev to tell Zelensky, if you guys continue to steal this brazenly, we're never going to be
00:43:12.100
able to get anything passed for you. And this is how bad Johnson is. Did Johnson ask for a briefing
00:43:17.260
on the money that had been stolen? Did Johnson ask for briefings on the details of the sex trafficking
00:43:23.320
and the organ harvesting? Did Johnson ask for details about the bioweapons land? Did he ask for any
00:43:29.540
this? He needs to come forward. Did he have a full investigation of our report on a forensic
00:43:37.120
accounting? And did he really implement in this anything to do with making sure our money's not
00:43:42.620
stolen? The answer is no. If he had, he would come forward because we're dogging him like he's never
00:43:48.640
been dogged before. And we're going to continue to dog him in order to make these people respond.
00:43:54.840
They must be dog because they're not going to volunteer it. They're not going to volunteer it.
00:43:59.000
They're going to go down and tell Trump a bunch of lies and spin him. And the people around Trump
00:44:02.780
are not going to correct him because most of those people are Republican operatives and they want to
00:44:07.540
get paid in their careers going forward. And they think MAGA is just this kind of passing fever and
00:44:13.600
the fever will eventually be broken. Let's go to the continual story. The central part of this is that
00:44:18.980
the Ukrainian people don't back it. And we know the Ukrainian people don't back it because they're not
00:44:23.800
volunteering for the military. Young people are not volunteering. And so they had to go for one
00:44:28.940
year and fight to get this draft in there. Okay. And even in the draft, Reuters was reporting that,
00:44:35.140
I don't know, of the 14 million people left, there's a million fighting age males. And they're
00:44:40.900
trying to pull every stop to get those guys back, to force those guys back, to be able to Shanghai
00:44:46.400
them into military service. No one's volunteering. And parents are paying premium prices. You just said
00:44:53.160
the average monthly pays 600 bucks. They're paying five and 10,000. They're hawking everything they've
00:44:59.220
worked for and everything they will work for to keep their most precious assets, which are their sons
00:45:05.080
and daughters, out of the fight. Now, why is that? Because they understand it's over and they understand
00:45:12.020
it's not going to change the basic geopolitics. Those are the people that matter most. Those are the people
00:45:17.640
that are the country and the future of the country. And are they stepping up and giving
00:45:22.200
anything? No. They want it to go away. How can you tell that? They will not let their sons and
00:45:29.660
daughters go fight. The 500,000 that the two beloved generals got cashiered about because they told the
00:45:35.640
truth. Where do we stand on that? Why didn't Mike Johnson make that a condition precedent? Why didn't he
00:45:41.340
say, okay, when you can show us that you've got close to 500,000 and that you're in the fight,
00:45:46.060
then we'll start laying the money out. None of it was done. All they did was give the third most
00:45:52.520
corrupt government in the world that's already taken $120 billion of which they cannot account for.
00:45:58.520
All he did was give them a blank check. Another sucker. And then he ran interference for the Biden
00:46:06.600
regime. Ben Harnwell, give me this Reuters story. This is the other one we got. We're jammed for time.
00:46:11.640
I want you to take time and go through this Reuters story because in this small story shows you the
00:46:17.620
entire scam of the entire thing, sir. Steve, there are about 850, latest counts from January of this
00:46:25.320
year. There are about 850,000 men of fighting age. That's a conscriptable age that have fled across
00:46:34.460
to continental Europe. And these two measures here that Reuters have illustrated, I want to say to
00:46:41.940
the war impossible, these are cosmetic, right? The Ukrainians know that, we'll come on to this at
00:46:47.360
another point, okay, we have something else to drill down to. The Ukrainians know that we're watching
00:46:52.540
their every move. I'd say the Zelensky regime knows we're watching their every move. So they're now
00:46:58.120
trying to push out some things for a Western audience, which is of a cosmetic theatrical nature.
00:47:03.920
Here's one of their latest initiatives. Ukraine is suspending consular services for the military-aged
00:47:11.240
men who fled abroad. What that means is that if you were a young guy, 20, 25-year-old guy,
00:47:17.040
you fled abroad and your passport has either expired or is about to expire, you can no longer go to your
00:47:24.000
local consul in whichever EU country you are and get it renewed. Now, so when I say this is purely
00:47:30.140
cosmetic, what do I mean by that? If your passport has expired, right, and they're not going to let you
00:47:37.460
renew it, then what are you not going to be able to do? You're not going to be able to go get a flight
00:47:42.940
and go back to Ukraine and serve on the front line, are you? If you have no passport, you can't travel.
00:47:49.060
That is why I say this story, in all its ludicrousness, is purely cosmetic for Western consumption.
00:47:56.100
There's a similar story, which obviously Reuters have dutifully carried. Ukraine launches a military
00:48:04.380
charm offensive as conscription flags, and they're talking about, or they're happy to talk about,
00:48:09.460
they're doing QR codes with your phone that you can zap and learn more about. You can even choose now
00:48:17.600
how long you want to serve for and whereabouts you want to serve. It's all nonsense. As everybody in
00:48:23.100
Ukraine knows, the initial volunteers who signed up in February 2022 are still fighting, and there's
00:48:31.580
still no word whatsoever when they're going to stop fighting. So if you go up and volunteer and say,
00:48:36.420
oh, look, you know, I'll do three months and let me do it in a non-military area where there's no,
00:48:42.060
presently no Russian bombardment, they're going to take you, they're going to send you to the front
00:48:46.360
line, and that is where you're going to stay. And I tell you who knows that, Reuters might not
00:48:50.580
appreciate that. I tell you who knows that. Everybody are fighting, aging Ukraine knows that.
00:48:54.860
So these are two stories that just, for Western consumption, to try and show that there's sort of,
00:49:00.320
that the complaints from abroad that we're giving so much to Ukraine, and yet they're sort of,
00:49:06.140
they're, they're, they're tearing down what they're doing on their side of the war, war effort.
00:49:12.120
Those complaints on the West are starting to have an effect.
00:49:15.360
I've got much more to go through with you, but we're gonna have to do it tomorrow. But in the
00:49:21.920
interim, I want you to give, and I say this, not with jealousy, because we love Ben, he's a key
00:49:29.640
part of the team, he's our international editor, but his engagement is extraordinary. I'm trying to
00:49:34.580
figure out how it is, but I think it's the, I think it's the way you structure it at the top. But where do
00:49:41.000
people go to get your social media? Where do they go on Getter to get your social media?
00:49:45.900
Steve, let me put you at rest. Okay. I get such good engagement because I write such good posts.
00:49:51.100
Straight simple as that. Folks, if you want to read some of these great posts, that Steve's very
00:49:55.500
kindly highlighting. It's on my feed. At Hanwell on Getter. I don't post, I'm not a heavy poster. I tend to
00:50:03.380
push out one thing a day. That thing I put out, it's really important to me. It's a thing I want you
00:50:07.900
guys really to have a look at, and I hope it helps form your opinion on what's going on. Steve,
00:50:12.920
thanks so much for having me on the show. God bless. Catch you tomorrow.
00:50:17.600
Okay. What Ben said right there is a topic we're going to develop more and more. It's the twofold.
00:50:24.640
It is the grift and the corruption that was not addressed. Nothing put up about it. So we've got
00:50:29.900
to be the guys. The bully boys are going to do it. Hey, we got to do it. We got to do it.
00:50:34.000
But the other is the victims here, like Mersheimer said, will be the Ukrainian people. They're being
00:50:40.100
used as pawns on a chessboard. And the parents, just like U.S. parents here in the United States,
00:50:45.980
it's one of the reasons military recruitment is so far down. You know, we've had a tradition of service
00:50:52.600
in the extended abandoned family, right, of going in and doing your four years or doing your eight
00:50:58.080
or some career, but mainly do the four, do the eight, and then go back to the civilian.
00:51:03.360
And I would be very hard pressed today as a little girl to talk to Mo and to show her about service to
00:51:11.180
the country. As I know many, many parents in this audience who are veterans or are sons and daughters
00:51:16.320
of veterans have a hesitancy right now, given the direction of the military and direction of the
00:51:21.560
Biden regime. That's to the 10th power in Ukraine because their sons and daughters are the fuel that
00:51:31.400
drives the charnel house. And they're not going to put up with it. Remember, it's 650 bucks a month
00:51:37.540
and they're paying five and $10,000 to get their kids out of there. We're going to continue on that.
00:51:42.540
And we know that the Ukrainian media is watching. They watch War Room and they're very critical of
00:51:47.240
War Room. But hey, that's just how it's going to be, folks. It's not, we have nothing against the
00:51:52.000
Ukrainian people. We admire their valor and their courage. Okay. But they're being, their lives are
00:51:57.400
being brutalized by the globalist. Birchgold.com, please. I've got the fifth installment of the end
