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
00:00:11.420 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:18.400 authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just
00:00:24.320 like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:29.060 misrepresentations that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you

00:00:39.640 here's your host Stephen K Bannon in my experience and in the situation we are in right now at the
00:00:46.280 Biden-Harris administration they cannot be allowed to remain in power we can agree or disagree on
00:00:52.700 different issues and it's good and we should and we should have those conversations but when you look
00:00:58.080 at the unprecedented abuse of power that they are engaging in undermining their rule of law
00:01:04.300 politicizing our government entities targeting Americans targeting Americans who happen to be
00:01:10.220 their political opposition whether it's Donald Trump or the mom who's protesting at a board of education
00:01:16.300 meeting to have a say in what kind of education her child is getting this is happening across the
00:01:23.480 country and if we the American people don't do something about this and stop them and hold them
00:01:29.580 accountable what happens in these elections if they're allowed to remain in power they will they
00:01:36.360 will tell us hey you gave us a mandate you said hey good job thumbs up keep at it and we'll see
00:01:41.940 everything that's happened just continue to escalate to a point where I have I have no doubt that our
00:01:48.140 freedoms will be eroded to a point where it'll be virtually impossible to get them back and where do we
00:01:53.460 go from there America no longer becomes the land of the free in the home of the brave it becomes the
00:02:00.060 land of people who are controlled by the government and forced to comply or else and if you dare to have
00:02:07.740 the courage to speak up and speak the truth or say hey look guys the emperor has no clothes on boys
00:02:13.460 are boys and girls are girls and that's just how it is then you will experience the the retaliation or the
00:02:20.560 consequences of that action it's friday 3 may in the year of the lord 2024 thank you welcome to the

00:02:48.080 and i just want to back her you just got you're promoted now to lieutenant colonel uh when i met
00:02:53.440 you and we had you in the trump transition you came in you talked to the then president-elect about
00:02:58.220 either secretary of state maybe secretary defense you were in the army then also uh you had a lot of
00:03:04.540 experience in the middle east is your identity are you more identified when you say your love of
00:03:09.200 country more as a army officer that served your country in harm's way or are you more identified as a
00:03:16.520 politician as someone that was elected to office ma'am uh not as a politician uh my life has been about
00:03:24.420 doing my best to be of service to our country and the american people uh the experiences that i've had
00:03:31.440 throughout my over 21 years in the military three deployments to different war zones and different
00:03:37.500 regions of the world different conflicts and wars have very much shaped the way that i see the world
00:03:44.860 my understanding of the cost of war my understanding of the need to uh see the world through a lens of
00:03:51.760 realism as it is not some fantasy many politicians wish existed understand that we must always in our
00:03:59.660 decision making in domestic policy and foreign policy make that decision on the basis of what is in
00:04:05.320 the best interest of the american people and our country and our security uh and and so i i identify
00:04:12.700 most as as a proud american and one who has uh committed my life yes to service and and fulfilling
00:04:21.080 that oath that i took first when i enlisted in the military as a private first class uh and also as a
00:04:28.060 member of congress to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic
00:04:32.080 and that that is my message that i'm carrying with me everywhere i go steve to everyone who will listen
00:04:38.740 in different groups different political backgrounds different walks of life different parts of the
00:04:43.660 country that regardless of whatever differences we may have and we're dealing with the government
00:04:49.200 right now that is doing their very best to tear us apart based on race or religion or social class or
00:04:56.060 or or ideology or politics we must come together as americans who cherish peace and value freedom
00:05:04.400 understanding who we are as americans and what this country stands for and has traditionally stood for
00:05:11.780 we have to take a stand to defend those freedoms and to save our country from those seeking to destroy it
00:05:19.400 and they are uh i i spoke very plainly there on the joe rogan experience the other day i'm speaking
00:05:26.420 plainly here now to your audience about the very real domestic threat to our freedom and our democracy and
00:05:33.440 that threat is coming from the democrat elite yes it is the biden harris administration it is others
00:05:39.820 who hold both elected and unelected office it is their friends in the propaganda media and big tech
00:05:45.580 all colluding and working together to hold on to and gain more power willing to sacrifice the
00:05:53.440 interests of the american people our freedom and our democracy to do so
00:05:57.980 you know when you came and talked to president trump i think it was in november of 2016 it might
00:06:04.940 have been early december you laid out and you were a democrat at the time in congress but you laid out
00:06:10.480 i thought one of the most well thought through american first national security and foreign policy
00:06:16.480 and primarily that was because of service you knew about syria and other parts of the world that are not
00:06:22.420 that covered by the media um we had uh we had ega antonio on the morning show talking about rogoff
00:06:29.120 that kenneth or the great uh economist about debt saying we can't have any more magical thinking on
00:06:34.140 this debt this is insane these two trillion dollar deficits you're going to have a republic ending
00:06:38.640 event and it's going to come sooner rather than later mcmasters who is national security advisor
00:06:43.560 under trump and i'm no fan of his and i don't think you are either but he's going around making
00:06:48.340 speeches saying if you look at the threats throughout the world and what we talk about the early
00:06:51.900 stages early stages of the kinetic part of the third world war defense spending has to go to four
00:06:57.700 percent in the united states so colonel gabbard that would put out defense spending at i don't know
00:07:02.880 two trillion dollars it had another trillion dollars to a already two trillion dollar a year with three
00:07:07.860 and a half dollar year as you think through these things and you think through the issues with biden and
00:07:14.340 losing our freezer domestically just in our national security policy could we handle does does the
00:07:19.720 defense department in your mind need a two trillion dollar a year defense budget do we need to be that
00:07:25.420 engaged in all these places all over the world that that would entail ma'am i think it is too simplistic
00:07:34.000 and irresponsible to just throw out a number without actually having any kind of clear and substantive
00:07:41.840 evidence-based data to back up that number uh especially when we recognize unfortunately the
00:07:48.720 department of defense has failed every single audit that they have tried uh to conduct they have shown
00:07:55.200 an inability to to have a basic level of accountability of our taxpayer dollars where they're going and how
00:08:03.160 they're being spent and and they don't even have the political mandate to do so so it's no wonder that they have
00:08:09.600 failed uh we saw how ran paul's amendment to one of the original tranches of of a multi-billion dollar
00:08:17.440 funding package to ukraine was received in the senate when he said hey we just came out of over 20 years in
00:08:23.340 afghanistan there was a special inspector general that was assigned specifically to look at the spending in
00:08:30.860 afghanistan and his reports of the trillions of dollars that were wasted or unaccounted for uh there uh we
00:08:38.080 should do the same here ukraine is a corrupt country it has been for very very long time their government
00:08:43.040 is very corrupt we need to to fulfill our responsibility to the american people and make sure
00:08:48.080 that whatever if we're sending funding we need to know where it's going and how it's being spent there's
00:08:53.440 a there's many other arguments around why uh that funding really uh it should be called into question
00:09:01.440 uh given there is no clear objective given there is no clear uh definition of winning in in our
00:09:07.120 continued funding of that proxy war against russia what to speak of the fact that it has specifically
00:09:13.520 put our country at a greater risk our safety and security at a greater risk pushing us to the close
00:09:18.800 closer to the brink of nuclear war but just looking at a basic funding and accountability standpoint
00:09:24.720 ran senator ran paul was essentially called a russian asset for having the audacity to say hey we as
00:09:30.960 representatives of the people have a responsibility to account for their taxpayer dollars and how they are
00:09:37.040 being spent uh so to to say well hey we should just increase the dod budget two trillion dollars
00:09:43.600 without making our an argument about how that best serves our country's security interests
00:09:49.200 i think is irresponsible and i think the american people have had enough of this we need to support
00:09:55.520 our men and women in uniform ensure that they have uh the the equipment and the training and the
00:10:01.920 readiness to be the lethal force that we know them to be i i laugh when when they come to congress and
00:10:10.320 they ask for more and more money for the department of defense when i know that uh you know there are
00:10:15.840 soldiers who are living in inhumane conditions in some of these barracks they are told to paint over the
00:10:22.480 mold that's growing on their walls that's directly impacting their health not only for the short term
00:10:27.760 uh but the long term in my home state of hawaii the 25th infantry division out at schofield barracks i was
00:10:33.840 just there a few weeks ago i was on my annual reserve duty and i was sitting there in uh in the px
00:10:41.200 in the the cafeteria eating lunch with some some fellow soldiers and all of a sudden the power went
00:10:46.000 out and the whole place and my friend who i was eating with there i said gosh well this is unusual he
00:10:51.680 said tulsi it happens all the time that we have major military bases here at home in our own country
00:10:58.240 who are having problems with power who are having problems with water usage and availability the
00:11:06.000 argument that we should just continue being the world's police to continue to to drive our country
00:11:12.480 further into debt chasing regime change wars and other conflicts that are counter to our our country's
00:11:20.160 interest is the height of of irresponsibility and and just shows that the their interests are not
00:11:27.200 actually serving our interests uh where we should be engaged where we shouldn't be engaged militarily
00:11:33.680 we should look at every one of those places around the world and go through this analysis and make this
00:11:39.120 strategic decision carefully and recognize that we can engage and should engage with other countries around
00:11:45.680 the world and we can do so without the threat of military force and dropping bombs
00:11:54.320 your your book is about a journey and i want everybody if you want to know more about tulsi gabbard
00:11:58.720 it's a very it's an incredible book about american patriot for it talks about your journey
00:12:04.240 your biggest critics today come from people there in the democratic party with you and the other day
00:12:09.760 when the ukraine was passed you had all the democrats were down there waving ukrainian flags
00:12:15.680 yet the powers going out in schofield barracks everything you said on joe rogan the other day you
00:12:20.720 foreshadowed you saw that building in the democratic party talk about your journey as a politician because
00:12:26.400 you were a democrat uh you were a vocal democrat and now you've kind of turned and said hey not only
00:12:32.720 is that party uh not not a solution to our problems that party and what it represents many of it are
00:12:40.080 actually a big part of the the key to the problem in this country ma'am it's it's so true you know i
00:12:46.720 joined the democratic party over 20 years ago i was 21 years old i wanted to to be of service to my home
00:12:54.800 state in my community and decided to run for a seat in the state legislature and and i had to choose a
00:13:00.960 party i'm the fourth of five kids my parents homeschooled us they raised us to be independent
00:13:06.240 thinkers and i didn't come from an inherited political ideology or partisanship i went through
00:13:14.000 and started looking at both major parties and what i found in the democratic party that resonated with
00:13:18.880 me at the time was i saw a party that stood for freedom it was a big open tent party welcomed people
00:13:25.360 with different and diverse ideas uh was willing to stand up for free speech even speech they didn't
00:13:31.360 necessarily like or support stood for civil liberties and and was the party of the little guy that's the
00:13:37.200 history of the democratic party in hawaii they fought for the little guy who who was was suffering
00:13:42.720 under you know the corporate elitist powers uh fast forward to where we are today and i spent eight
00:13:49.280 years in congress i was a vice chair of the democratic national committee a candidate for president in the
00:13:54.800 primary in 2020 and throughout that time did my best to try to uh refocus the democratic party back to
00:14:03.760 its roots back to the reason why i joined in the first place but increasingly over time what i saw
00:14:09.200 was a party that was was being controlled by the likes of hillary clinton and others who are elitist
00:14:17.200 warmongers who cared more for their their big uh corporate elitist donors than they did about the
00:14:23.920 everyday hard-working american across the country they cared more for their party and maintaining power
00:14:31.120 and getting power than they actually did about solving the very real problems that we have here
00:14:36.320 in this country they reject the existence of objective truth and i i go into each of the major issues
00:14:43.920 chapter by chapter in my book both sharing my own experiences of seeing this insanity unfold before my
00:14:50.720 very eyes uh and and just kicking to a whole new level in 2016 when president trump was elected
00:14:59.520 you mentioned steve the meeting that i had with him uh it was either just before or just after
00:15:05.120 thanksgiving in trump tower in new york city i was the first democrat to meet with him and obviously
00:15:11.680 as a member of congress invited to speak to the president elect our next commander-in-chief i was grateful
00:15:18.000 to have the opportunity to go and sit across the table from him for a good hour and talk about
00:15:22.640 our country's national security how to defeat radical islamist terrorist groups operating in the
00:15:28.160 middle east and other parts of the world um the response when i walked out of that building and i
00:15:34.160 don't know that you and i have ever had this conversation but the response when i walked out of
00:15:37.680 that building within minutes my phone started blowing up and i was hearing from many of my democrat
00:15:44.000 colleagues and activists and even some members of my extended family expressing outrage outrage that i
00:15:52.880 had the audacity to meet with the next president united states and here's the thing the word they
00:15:58.800 used that was so disturbing they said tulsi by your meeting him you have humanized him and that speaks to
00:16:07.360 this sick mindset that goes far beyond having a difference on a position on issues or or a specific
00:16:17.120 substantive statement uh and it's how they they feel so justified uh as they did throughout that 2016
00:16:25.280 campaign as they did throughout his presidency and as we are seeing continuing to play out today
00:16:30.640 they feel in their heart of hearts that they are saving our democracy that they are doing the
00:16:36.720 right thing for the american people by undermining our democracy by censoring people's speech by
00:16:44.320 weaponizing the department of justice and law enforcement both at the federal level and at the
00:16:49.520 state level to try to keep president trump try to keep the american people away from even having the option
00:16:56.720 to vote for president trump uh so when we talk about the reasons why i left the democratic party
00:17:03.360 it boils down to the most fundamental principles that make us who we are as americans how could i as a
00:17:11.920 person as an american who's proud to serve our country in uniform who's grateful for the opportunity to
00:17:17.200 serve the american people in different positions in public office having taken that oath to support and
00:17:23.600 defend the constitution how could i align myself or associate myself in any way with a political party that is
00:17:28.960 led by people who are destroying our constitution and undermining the very fabric of freedom um that
00:17:36.800 makes this country the greatest country in the world uh this this dangerous mindset that we are seeing
00:17:44.000 coming from the biden harris administration and the other power elite in the swamp in washington is no
00:17:51.280 less blatant and brazen abuse of power than we see from the likes of of putin and other dictators in
00:17:57.840 the world who have these pseudo democracies but weaponize the public institutions to get rid of
00:18:03.840 their political opposition making pretend that people have a choice when really they've taken away
00:18:08.560 any opportunity for that choice so this election is critical i heard you talking about it in your
00:18:14.000 previous segment this election in particular for me this is the most important election of my life
00:18:21.040 because it's not it's about something much bigger than biden versus trump it is about
00:18:28.080 us defending our freedom stopping those who are destroying our country and undermining our freedom
00:18:35.360 and democracy and and allowing us the american people the opportunity to come together fulfill our
00:18:42.480 responsibility as citizens and get our country back on track tackle the great challenges we face here at
00:18:50.720 home bring our country back from the brink of world war iii and nuclear war so that we can
00:18:56.720 be a free people living in a free society where we are able to pursue uh to to have life liberty and the
00:19:04.320 pursuit of happiness you know it wasn't random you were there i taught and i talked to reint
00:19:10.880 when we scheduled and others i said i think think because president trump was leading a revolution in
00:19:15.920 politics it wasn't quite evident at the time but you had the best understanding of america first or
00:19:21.120 one of the few people i felt really had this understanding america first when it comes to
00:19:25.120 national security and domestic policy and you articulated it very well you got eviscerated i mean
00:19:31.200 you were you were eviscerated even to come and have a meeting with the gentleman's president-elect
00:19:36.320 now that we're what eight years later you say so much more how did we get to this spot
00:19:41.520 where now you're actually saying hey the country's on the line and because then we argued it was about
00:19:47.680 managed to climb by our elites and hillary clinton was mark one mod zero right of example of that
00:19:54.240 eight years later we're in a different level i mean it is we're standing on the abyss how did that happen
00:20:01.200 to the united states of america you know looking back uh president biden's biggest argument was and his
00:20:08.320 support is they were saying he was going to be the moderating force he said he would be the uniter
00:20:13.520 in chief we look back at his speech that he delivered uh during his inauguration uh but what what
00:20:20.720 actually happened was the opposite of the rhetoric that we heard uh he has turned into the most divisive
00:20:28.160 president that i've seen in my lifetime he has turned into a president who who finds unique
00:20:35.040 ways to exploit loopholes that exist for example uh to completely destroy title nine uh again as as
00:20:43.200 as we look across the country uh there are 43 percent of americans according to a recent gallup poll who
00:20:49.200 don't identify with either party there are a lot of people who feel politically homeless right now
00:20:54.480 are frustrated with the the negativity and the toxicity of politics that we see uh playing out on a
00:21:01.760 a lot of people who are in the middle of the country who are in the middle of the country who are in the middle of the country
00:21:05.760 uh but but who do care very much about the fact that now they have to be concerned about whether
00:21:09.200 their little girl who is loves to swim is now going to have to compete against a boy and maybe her
00:21:15.120 chances of getting a scholarship to go to school uh have just fallen through because of president
00:21:21.520 biden's destruction of title nine uh we we see the open borders i was down in san diego uh the the southern border there
00:21:30.000 with mexico and and saw firsthand in multiple occasions and multiple places how the biden harris
00:21:36.640 administration's open borders and facilitation and support of the cartel's multi-billion dollar human
00:21:42.400 trafficking industry is like a well-oiled machine steve i went to different places along the border
00:21:48.560 and and in each of these places i encountered in some cases small groups of illegal immigrants from all over
00:21:53.760 the world in other cases there was uh it was just as the sun was setting there was a group of about
00:21:59.760 three or four hundred illegal immigrants that had gathered in this one spot they know exactly where
00:22:04.560 to go for border patrol to come and pick them up and they were sitting there calmly patiently happy making
00:22:11.440 jokes uh knowing that once they go in they get processed they'll get that piece of paper that says
00:22:16.560 they've applied for asylum and a court date that is many years down the line uh and a plane ticket to go
00:22:22.720 to wherever they want to go in the country we don't know who these people are we don't know what their
00:22:26.800 backgrounds are they're in that specific group there were there were some very clearly visible uh gang
00:22:33.360 members from venezuela because i talked to them and i asked them where are you from uh what are your
00:22:37.680 plans and one guy in particular he had all of the tattoos and the markings of a gang member he was high
00:22:44.240 out of his mind and and remaining calm only because he knew that probably within 24 hours he'd be out
00:22:52.000 on the street the the list is is way too long to to go through right now but we see day after day
00:22:59.600 what's happening on his college campuses the president and his administration
00:23:05.600 acting against our country yeah hang on i know you and i i know you gotta bounce and i want to have
00:23:10.400 you back on the book is amazing for love of country people if you want to focus and learn more about
00:23:16.480 modern politics this is a book even if you're not a tulsi gabbard fan yet you ought to get the book and
00:23:22.560 see her journey just my last question because your your congressional colleagues to a person either
00:23:31.440 support biden or things are more radical am i basically correct on that i mean they're as radical
00:23:36.160 as biden and camilla harris are you're you're the congressional part of the democratic is even worse
00:23:41.040 how did you ever in a million years think that you could actually lead i mean was that just brazen
00:23:47.120 ambition or how did you in a million years think that you could be not just the presidential nominee
00:23:53.440 of that party but change that party because of the american people and because of my experience uh
00:24:02.000 traveling the country even as a vice chair of the dnc the people that i met the democrats who i met in so
00:24:07.840 many parts of the country reflected the same love and appreciation for freedom uh that you and i have

00:32:42.320 to be with me tomorrow we're going to walk through a lot about what's going on with precious metals but
00:32:47.280 we provide information we've got uh the end of the dollar empire it's very important we believe
00:32:53.040 for everybody working class people middle class to understand the u.s dollar to understand currency to
00:32:58.960 understand it all so that you can therefore um you know understand uh how we finance our government
00:33:07.680 uh what a store of value is what a hedge is so go to the uh and how important being the prime reserve
00:33:13.120 currency is for the economy of the united states i'm not arguing we have to be the prime reserve currency
00:33:18.960 it has tremendous benefits it has big drawbacks uh that ought to be a debate it ought to be at the
00:33:24.160 presidential level i think uh in normal times it would be at this level and this year it probably
00:33:29.760 won't it will definitely take place in president trump's second term you can see already what he's
00:33:34.240 talking about the federal reserve and the control of the federal reserve and who makes decisions at
00:33:38.320 the federal reserve because right now they may kind of make their own decisions and they're they're
00:33:42.080 underwriting they have uh what we call monetary uh policy and they are monetarily radical the fiscal
00:33:48.880 policy in this country by the executive branch and the congress is quite frankly
00:33:53.520 out of control you see that every day in your life with the inflation so make sure you go to
00:33:57.840 birchgold.com slash bannon to get all the free information that's provided and also to talk to
00:34:03.200 philip patrick and the team okay the head of our international bureau from rome now joins us
00:34:08.000 so tulsi gabbard quite very controversial individual hated by the democrats more than
00:34:13.840 most of us in the mega movie she's america first uh has a very well thought through being a
00:34:18.480 colonel in the army lieutenant colonel and served in all these different places very well thought
00:34:22.000 through when she talked to america first i know a lot of our audience is saying i'll get to in a
00:34:26.400 second hey she's world economic forum she's one of those junior uh ambassadors or whatever they are
00:34:31.040 she's a globalist and not to be trusted uh your sense of of the joe rogan piece which i know you
00:34:36.480 watch for us and the interview right there uh ben harnwell your your initial thoughts on this
00:34:42.880 well it was impressive to see a former democrat speaking so coherently if all we've had if all you've had is
00:34:50.320 a diet of joe biden's mumblings and incoherence um that was refreshing in and of itself um so look
00:34:58.800 let's start off with the world economic forum right um i'm perfectly happy to have purity tests i i have
00:35:05.280 litmus tests on a number of issues and there's something wrong with them that they're great it
00:35:09.680 helps you know basically uh it helps you when you have the situations of ambiguity it helps you
00:35:15.600 either say yes or no and a bit of black or white um rigidity um is um is i think helpful for the
00:35:25.840 debate with regards to the world economic forum i'd be perfectly happy to say we're not going to have
00:35:31.600 any contact with anybody that's ever had anything to do with davos end of story but then trump sent
00:35:39.680 divanka in 2020 to davos so how how um how how how how far are we going to go with that particular
00:35:48.000 purity test um and i think what you have to do is to realize that people are on a journey she's
00:35:54.560 clearly on a journey having joined the democratic party 20 years ago and you've got to sort of and
00:36:01.360 hang on just just just hang on hang on just in defense of the audience and i look i get this all the
00:36:06.800 time and from people i'm very close to it wasn't like trump going to davos or jared having trump go
00:36:12.400 to davos i mean she was one of these junior fellows or whatever they're called and remember these junior
00:36:18.320 fellows have been kind of a uh they they get these in advance because they want these you know put all
00:36:24.160 through the governments you can see with castro's uh illegitimate son up in canada he was one you got
00:36:30.960 all of them so it's a little bigger than that i can understand people are very apprehensive
00:36:35.920 you're i think you try to make the point that hey purity if you want to grow a movement and
00:36:41.040 particularly bring in people of leadership and talent you're going to have to take some people
00:36:45.920 that maybe didn't totally agree with you at the beginning is that is that uh because you know
00:36:50.160 vivek ramaswamy others jd vance to a degree there are a ton of people now that are that are even on the
00:36:56.800 short list of being talked about as vp are in the cabinet that didn't vote for trump in 16 in fact a lot
00:37:02.560 of them you know adamantly opposed a trump in in in 16 i selected her to come to talk to president
00:37:09.760 trump because i heard what she was saying even in 16 about america first and about foreign policy
00:37:15.440 particularly she was very experienced about syria and about this whole thing never it always struck
00:37:20.560 me is that we were trying to trigger russia into a shooting war that the the deep state in the middle
00:37:26.400 east where we'd already given up the policy ben as you know of never allowing the bolsheviks or the
00:37:31.680 soviets in to get a warm water porter that the obama administration basically looked the other
00:37:36.480 way where the russians were all in there unlike unlike nixon unlike reagan and she was calling
00:37:42.160 that out so people have to understand she was america first even more than some people in this
00:37:46.720 audience and she had a fairly articulate when she came up and talked to the president-elect
00:37:51.120 right before thanksgiving of 2016 we had romney come up we had the governor of south carolina
00:37:57.440 eventually became nikki haley became the ambassador you couldn't compare their knowledge and thinking
00:38:03.200 of america first to tulsi gabbard i will say this is somebody who ran that part she was head and
00:38:08.400 shoulders above including a bunch of the generals their mindset the neocon mindset in the american empire
00:38:15.920 mindset was she had a real sophisticated understanding back in 16 of exactly what president trump was then
00:38:24.160 just start just beginning to start to articulate that there had to be a total reformulation of the
00:38:30.640 post-war international rules-based order that put america first and not these global uh entities ben
00:38:37.600 harnwell steve um i think you've got to take i think one has to take um a gut call here a gut check
00:38:45.520 and say we are what do i think of this person um if they have sort of some of these wef uh if you have
00:38:53.120 this sort of background look at what they're saying now take a gut check and say is this person the
00:38:58.560 shilling are they shilling are they pretending to be america first to avert to a globalist agenda um
00:39:06.480 and that by the way is happening that is happening it has happened in even in the magma movement we have
00:39:11.520 seen this happen um or is this person genuine about where they're coming from if i had a if i had a gut
00:39:18.320 check based on what she said on joe rogan based on what she said here today on this show i would
00:39:24.080 say this is someone we have to be working for because the the magma movement the america first
00:39:29.040 movement isn't it isn't a republican phenomenon it is fundamentally it emerged out of the republican
00:39:36.720 party but it is actually bipartisan right in the sense that it is hoovering up people who are
00:39:42.160 dissatisfied permanently irrevocably dissatisfied with the gop but also there are a substantial
00:39:48.400 number of people in the democrats the old sort of the old-fashioned democrats supporters reagan
00:39:53.600 democrats you know if you if you will blue collar workers who don't lap up the progressive nonsense
00:40:00.320 that the party is pushing out now and they're looking for a new home as well and they're finding
00:40:04.800 that home i actually know i correspond with these people on get up every day these are people who are
00:40:09.360 coming to this movement and if this movement is really going the magma movement is really going
00:40:13.520 to dominate for the next two three generations us politics it has to continue this outreach and i
00:40:20.560 think it is is the the epitome of the person the sort of person we should be so they're building
00:40:27.600 strong relations with and working with hang over a second i want to bring in eric prince now eric
00:40:34.240 you were there at the beginning on america first in fact if you take from tulsi first came
00:40:38.960 and talked to then president like trump in november if you cut to about five months later really march
00:40:45.360 april of that year you had seen enough you had been america first come up in the campaign with a
00:40:50.080 number of ideas about america first but you came forward with a plan saying look the apparatus as we
00:40:55.120 have it is a permanent war apparatus and the place we have to break that is in afghanistan here's the
00:41:01.280 plan in afghanistan president trump that actually gets us what it gets us the ability to allow hopefully
00:41:08.000 democracy to perpetuate there it gives the ability to kill bad guys if we need to kill them but it
00:41:13.360 gets us to get combat troops out and you saw the firestorm the firestorm of hatred that came after
00:41:20.720 after you and also me and even proposing that eric prince yeah i think they hated me more than they
00:41:27.600 hated um the uh the taliban um look the washington is about money and the idea that we would would give
00:41:37.600 a plan that would spend five less than five percent of what they've been spending um and allow u.s forces
00:41:45.600 to leave to leave a afghan government intact and upright that would control the battle space not the taliban
00:41:52.800 that isis was absolutely haram and forbidden and and incapable of washington to think like that so
00:42:01.440 yes the the the nexus of unlimited spending of money uh combined with the lobbyists the battalions of
00:42:10.800 lobbyists yeah is it serves to make a very corrupt situation okay so this is here's the point i hope to
00:42:16.560 get you back on the mark because i do want to talk about unplug for a second but uh i had to get you on
00:42:21.440 today because in that time frame tulsi came if tulsi was eviscerated by the democratic party after she
00:42:26.560 met with trump i mean how like she said how could you humanize this guy um eric prince in the spring
00:42:31.920 we come forward this plan he's eviscerated but we continue to try to push forward to extract ourselves
00:42:36.960 from afghanistan's years before biden just threw in the town just retreated we actually had an organized
00:42:41.840 plan yesterday mcmasters your nemesis by the way in this entire fight mcmasters the most disastrous
00:42:49.120 of all the national security advisors for president trump i don't know bolton may be close
00:42:54.080 but mcmaster said yesterday in a speech that the defense department needs to go immediately american
00:42:59.920 spending on defense department needs to go to four percent which right now would take our or take our
00:43:05.520 budget to one and a half to maybe two trillion dollars i think we're three point two five three
00:43:09.600 three and a half take it to four percent or more which would increase the defense budget to over
00:43:15.680 a train and a half maybe one point seven five train a year add possibly another 500 billion to
00:43:21.280 another trillion dollars into the deficits or already have one and a half two trillion dollars
00:43:25.920 your thoughts about that eric prince it's absolutely disgusting there is so much fat there's layers of
00:43:32.480 fat upon layers of fat surrounding the pentagon if they would focus on any kind of remote efficiency
00:43:39.760 uh of procurement and they have to break up the cartel that has become the defense industry the
00:43:46.320 defense industrial base because they've allowed a massive over consolidation you used to have five
00:43:50.720 a hundred major defense contractors now it's down to five and so they basically dictate terms
00:43:57.040 to the contracting officers of the pentagon absolutely unacceptable uh the next administration
00:44:03.120 must appoint a sect f that will a break up the defense industry b force some actual competitive
00:44:10.880 bidding and allow innovation the problem is the procurement system it takes so long that it
00:44:16.880 squeezes out every little guy and it forces them into the corrupt umbrella system of one of the big five
00:44:24.160 and and so they ended up doubling tripling quintupling the price for example the main drone system
00:44:30.480 that was used uh by the u.s navy and u.s special operations during the whole global war on terror
00:44:36.560 was originally designed for tuna fishing to launch off the roof of a tuna boat when boeing bought it
00:44:42.560 they quadruple or quintupled the price of that product same product so it's an example of there's
00:44:49.600 thousands of just how uncompetitive these these defense monsters are and there's nothing remote nothing
00:44:57.280 anywhere close to being competitive we're gonna try to get you back on tomorrow talk about what
00:45:04.000 really the fiza extension it's much much more draconian that people know but i gotta bounce

00:46:17.440 coming on thank you steve cheers
00:46:22.080 ben i did i asked tulsi about the flags on the democratic party waving on on the on the on the you
00:46:28.000 know on the floor um you see the fights we have we still got fights today i mean when president
00:46:32.880 trump wins and comes back in just don't think that the neocons in the republican party the neocons
00:46:38.800 that are embedded in the national security thing the republican party are automatically going to go
00:46:42.800 away this is going to be i'm just telling this audience the america first part of this on national
00:46:46.800 security is going to continue a fight but i want a quick update from you correct me if i'm wrong and
00:46:51.680 i think you pointed this out and we focus here in the war room uh with you about this manpower shortage
00:46:58.160 in ukraine with all the money going around and going back and forth the central beating heart of it
00:47:03.520 is that the young people in ukraine do not want to serve their parents particularly don't want
00:47:07.440 them to serve they understand they're going to the toronto house there's been a huge flight of the
00:47:11.360 country but the collapse of looks like the ukrainian army and it looks like at least the ports i'm
00:47:16.080 reading it could be a collapse is coming through a lack of manpower sir that's right steve uh if you
00:47:23.360 give me a quick moment i just want to hoover up something that was saying right tilsi before moving on
00:47:27.760 to ukraine um because she has actually responded to the um to these accusations uh and her on uh her
00:47:35.040 her response to the accusations uh with regards to the world economic form is she says this a year
00:47:41.440 ago just a little over a year ago i've never gone to any of their events i've literally not had anything
00:47:47.360 to do with the world economic form what what they were doing in davos is that they were putting people
00:47:53.200 who were up and coming stars on their website and listing them as young leaders i seem to remember
00:47:59.360 i can't remember who it was but there was a gop guy who was elected like a year ago he had to sue them
00:48:05.600 to get them to take his name of the um of the website i think i think it was that i think that was
00:48:12.800 vivek you're right you're right so they do i'm not sure about the i'm not sure i i have yeah i've not
00:48:18.880 gone into the details of all that because that sounds almost too fantastic but we will go into
00:48:23.360 the details because i understand with our audience it's a it's a big deal uh and so we will pursue
00:48:28.720 that uh and maybe we'll hopefully get you back on tomorrow i'm running out of time just a minute
00:48:33.360 on this i'll get you back tomorrow because this ukraine thing is now moment by moment
00:48:38.080 is there look like an imminent collapse of the ukrainian army because of the lack of manpower
00:48:43.040 well the commander of the ukrainian ground forces did put out a statement um this morning i think it
00:48:49.680 was blaming his western allies for the recent setbacks on the eastern front which was very
00:48:56.240 generous i think of the ukrainian army to do all things considered our favorite langley bugle has an
00:49:02.000 article i'll be posting the link of this um on on my getter has this headline ukrainian men abroad
00:49:08.400 voice anger over pressure to return home to fight this is sort of obviously building on what we've
00:49:14.000 been talking about on the show over recent weeks the diaspora um and the strange connivance on behalf
00:49:20.560 of the european countries to actually discover that it has the power to send people refugees in its
00:49:26.880 country to send them back which is a great precedent sad that it's applying it to these young kids who
00:49:32.240 obviously don't want to go and offer up their lives to the greater effort of biden's um re-election
00:49:38.000 chances in november so yes there is things there are things very much going on in ukraine um the
00:49:44.000 the russians are increasing their bombardments and uh it's every day that there are there are
00:49:50.160 villages on the east on the northeast in donbass that are falling to the russians so something is
00:49:55.360 definitely moving and the ukrainian response to say well look you didn't give this stuff when we
00:49:59.920 asked to it so it's your fault uh on a scale of one to ten ten being perfection one being yeah
00:50:07.840 how was uh how would you grade tulsi's interview here in war room um ten i mean i think it was
00:50:14.720 absolutely perfect um yeah i'll tell you the one thing that i liked on that right at the beginning

00:50:31.120 what i liked about that i don't know how much time i have i liked the very beginning she basically
00:50:36.000 said you know that the country's sort of sort of splitting apart and it needs to find unity well
00:50:41.520 any generic gop hack could have said that but what did she say needed to unify around she said freedom
00:50:49.280 our freedoms right it wasn't so that we need to unify around our institutions or about values or
00:50:55.840 about diversity or any of the the favorite buzzwords of either the republicans or the democrats she said
00:51:01.440 we need to unify um around around freedom and against our enemies and she and she listed who
00:51:08.720 the enemies were i mean it was perfect uh ben harnwell you're officially now a fanboy or tulsi

00:52:29.280 bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the patriot act
00:52:34.720 this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:52:40.400 tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent financial
00:52:46.000 newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about a coming
00:52:51.600 event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact
00:52:57.440 some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:53:02.240 to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes
00:53:08.400 buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:53:14.800 i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim
00:53:21.040 rickertz an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on what he
00:53:26.240 believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money watch jim's
