this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're
00:00:11.100
doing is blowing people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the
00:00:17.700
oppressors the authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in
00:00:23.460
Arizona this is just like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows
00:00:28.500
their lies and misrepresentations that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've
00:00:32.860
told you this is the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room
00:00:38.980
battleground here's your host Stephen K Bannon Rishi wants out um we are actually at war with
00:00:48.760
Russia now we've got we've got they're not just haven't told you I told you so say that again
00:00:54.300
we're actually at war with Russia now that I met with Andre Kellen the Russian ambassador in London
00:01:00.860
a couple of months ago and he said that we know that your people are firing those storm shadow
00:01:06.440
missiles at us out of Ukraine because so you couldn't you couldn't train the Ukrainians to do
00:01:10.780
it we know you're doing it and I mean everything everybody knows that everybody knows that there
00:01:16.400
are lots of us uh uk french the french are in there I thought it was the brits were down on
00:01:23.120
the ground and special advisors yeah yeah yeah training sessions and teaching them and showing
00:01:28.400
them isn't that how but they were apparently that's how we started with the vietnam war yeah what the
00:01:33.080
are we doing poking the bear that's really stupid they're determined to get us into a war
00:01:38.280
with Russia and thank god we've got someone in Putin who at least has in has got some brains now you
00:01:46.340
sound like a Putin lover well I'm not I think I'm not convinced any of them are any good but at the
00:01:52.500
end of the day if you look at the facts since 91 we've moved NATO a thousand miles nearer to Moscow
00:02:00.100
they haven't moved nearer to us no doubt and and if you think about what we were trying to do
00:02:04.500
the EU wanted to bring in Ukraine for whatever reason and NATO wanted it and they would have put
00:02:11.220
most missiles on the border of Russia well I mean what did America do when the old Soviet Union tried
00:02:16.960
to put missiles in Cuba 90 miles off the Florida coast yeah exactly they weren't having it were they
00:02:21.760
no and if you look back the Russians have told us for long enough Ukraine's got to remain neutral
00:02:29.200
you know we're not going to let it get them they've told us this for a very long time so hold on
00:02:33.740
one second you said Rishi wants out and then she doesn't want to be a Rishi's told the generals he
00:02:38.260
doesn't want to be a wartime prime minister really so who's calling the shots is it the generals or
00:02:44.680
the prime minister or someone else because it's someone above Rishi I mean this is you don't really
00:02:49.760
think that Rishi and Starmer I mean the whole thing's a pantomime in parliament so I keep saying
00:02:54.080
pantomime so I keep saying oh no it's not oh yes it is I keep saying that our political system we
00:02:59.780
have this illusion of democracy it's BS it's a uni party system and they're puppets and they're
00:03:05.500
people pulling their strings is that what's happening that's what's happening and the next
00:03:08.480
general election I now realize and I've been I was beguiled by it for you I mean I've stood
00:03:12.780
I've won at four elections as a conservative the next election is not it's the none of them they
00:03:18.100
haven't been it's not a race between the blue and the red team to see who crosses the finishing line
00:03:22.480
this is a baton handover on all the big issues net zero COVID response the WHO
00:03:29.680
the trans agenda who's pushing it then who's pushing it who's pulling the levers it's agenda
00:03:36.560
2030 it's the world economic forum the the 0.1 of a percent of the richest people in the world
00:03:41.900
the globalists the globalists yeah the people who make listen to make money all you need is
00:03:48.420
all we need is next week's newspapers today wouldn't we
00:03:52.480
but if you own next next week's newspapers you know what's going to happen what's going to be
00:03:57.900
reported regardless of what the facts are and and that's the position these so we're heading and
00:04:02.980
also and also yes that we're saying yes we're actually already in it they're not going to tell
00:04:08.180
the people probably till July or August maybe a bit later um and I think Rishi wants out but hold on
00:04:16.140
one second I mean if we go to war with Russia we're talking about potentially nuclear war I know
00:04:21.540
do they understand what they're playing with we have a nuclear we're not playing with fire
00:04:25.800
I know I know and it goes against all our our our defense thinking but even we have nuclear weapons
00:04:33.140
so that no one would do that to us so why would we do it to someone who's got 20 times more nuclear
00:04:37.480
30 times more nuclear weapons than we've got and not just that their air defense capability the S500
00:04:42.380
I mean it's a million times better than what we've got we've got nothing compared to that we've got
00:04:46.200
nothing that can stop any of their what is it we've got arrow or something I mean like that can't
00:04:50.260
do jack with their hypersonic I've seen a report that we just do not have any defense for the UK
00:04:55.420
against the Russian arsenal because you know they've got hypersonic missile yeah yeah we've got
00:05:02.720
I've got Harnwell in Rome and Rahim with me first Ben who did we just hear it's one of the most
00:05:11.940
interesting takes on this entire fiasco because you really can't get I've read all the papers you
00:05:18.400
really can't get a good handle on this uh is this the missing link or is this is more fantasy
00:05:23.740
good afternoon Steve that's Andrew Bridgen who is the member of parliament for northwest
00:05:30.580
Leicestershire which is my geographical area of the country by the way he's been an MP since
00:05:35.240
2010 and presumably he's not going to you know he's had the whip withdrawn he's no longer in the
00:05:40.980
Tory party since uh April last year um so presumably this he's now in in the twilight of his parliamentary
00:05:48.400
career interestingly he had the whip withdrawn because he tweeted out a comment um saying that um the
00:05:55.900
vaccines were the greatest crime against humanity since the holocaust and he was actually he wasn't
00:06:03.060
offering necessarily his own opinion there he was simply quoting what an Israeli cardiologist had said
00:06:08.960
him so that's his background an independent thinker very principled tough guy that what he said in that
00:06:15.180
interview just now that we heard is absolutely fascinating and I think it really covers some of the
00:06:19.980
the the the background that you meet Raheem yesterday on the show which we're trying to
00:06:26.020
sort of work out because all three of us basically said unanimously but independently of having consulted
00:06:31.920
with one another this really doesn't make any sense for Rishi to call the the election now uh there's
00:06:37.320
there's no strategic compelling strategic reason for him to do this in fact it would actually be
00:06:42.500
counterproductive what Andrew Bridgen said there I think fills in that gap because he basically says
00:06:49.300
quoting UK generals that Rishi has told him he doesn't want to be a wartime prime minister so he's going
00:06:56.960
now um calling an election which presumably he has no interest in actually winning um so that's the
00:07:04.540
background on that I think the question which he didn't answer which was a very good question
00:07:10.280
was well in that case who is pulling the strings in the UK well I think me you and Raheem have actually
00:07:16.480
done quite well over the past two years on on Ukraine in in in guessing this as well in fact
00:07:23.040
what we said about Boris Johnson uh in real time two years ago turned out to be absolutely the case
00:07:27.820
it's the United States that's pulling the strings here um I have more to say on this but I'll give way
00:07:33.660
um to to Raheem uh because the one thing that hasn't come out not in in this interview really I don't
00:07:42.100
think um and not in the the other declarations today on behalf of Rishi Sunak himself and Nigel
00:07:47.540
Farage it's the it's the Ukraine situation vis-a-vis this general election um but I think that's a
00:07:53.340
fascinating very telling uh interview piece and it's interesting Steve that you have to you have to be
00:07:59.800
out of the Tory party in order to be able to say the truth. Raheem uh and I'm glad to say that uh
00:08:09.100
Nigel kind of took our I guess our advice that we all three gave him about staying out we'll get to
00:08:15.040
that in a second but but explain to the audience who Andrew Bridgton is because this was quite
00:08:19.960
fascinating and his position as whip is where the original show House of Cards right House of Cards
00:08:28.980
the lead uh the lead actor played the whip played the whip here in the United States in the House of
00:08:33.980
Representatives but I think he was a whip in the uh I thought it was a whip in the Tory party or maybe
00:08:39.200
the Labour Party that the show the lip whip is a very senior position so this guy was a power player
00:08:44.660
yeah Steve I mean Andrew Andrew Bridgton and and uh Nigel Farage actually have quite a lot in common
00:08:52.500
going back um before the Brexit uh referendum and Bridgton himself was quite the quite the campaigner for
00:08:59.660
uh leaving the European Union there's there's there's been some overlap there and and and
00:09:05.320
Andrew who I know personally by the way or who I have known personally in a previous life um you know
00:09:11.900
is is is often ahead of I mean not just where the Tory party uh should be but where no Conservative MP
00:09:19.360
still dare to go in terms of the the issues he talks about raises and it's no surprise that he even
00:09:25.680
though he doesn't have a party in a party apparatus he remains an extremely popular local uh member of
00:09:31.300
Parliament you saw there I mean he understands that Nigel has a phrase for it I'm sure he got it from
00:09:37.460
uh it dates back older as well and and I'm allowed to use this word because I'm not using it in the
00:09:42.480
American sense uh he says he says um you can't put a fag paper between the Conservative and the Labour
00:09:50.120
Partons a fag paper being a cigarette paper what you roll uh tobacco with right this was the case
00:09:57.600
that was being yeah fag paper this was the case that was being made across the country you will
00:10:02.300
remember in those town halls in those gymnasiums uh gymnasia um on the run-up to the Brexit vote uh
00:10:09.800
the the the uniparty uh will will you know continue being the uniparty and it really needs
00:10:15.720
some serious semblance of change now that brings us to this election um you know Rishi Sunak absolutely
00:10:21.460
called this election early um because of Nigel Farage I appreciate Ben's um Ben's uh comments on
00:10:28.560
that too I think that's also correct um but they wanted Nigel out of this out of this race completely
00:10:34.780
by the way um they won't get that completely because he still will be campaigning across the
00:10:39.640
country uh with his reform party even though he's not personally standing uh for a seat in
00:10:45.400
parliament um it's it's complicated it's messy and it will necessarily end up with Britain having
00:10:50.760
a very far left Labour government and I was talking to somebody who will probably be in the next Trump
00:10:56.180
administration uh just last night uh who expressed serious concern over the the I'm not even going to
00:11:04.520
sugarcoat this the mental capacity or rather mental deficiency uh that is being expressed by leading
00:11:11.980
members of the Labour shadow cabinet right now and I think a lot of these people are kind of scratching
00:11:16.360
their heads and saying how could we possibly end up working with Britain in any way shape or form
00:11:21.360
uh if these morons are in in the cabinet next time it's it's going to be a very big deal
00:11:26.180
what do you think um I want to get to that in a moment what do you think about his I mean it's pretty
00:11:35.260
explosive what he says he and correct me if I'm wrong uh and I'll start with you and go back to Ben
00:11:40.980
but he's saying that we're actually already no matter what they're telling you we're already engaged
00:11:46.640
in combat against Russian forces that the UK specialists that are able to fire these missiles
00:11:55.620
you can't train the Ukrainians fast enough or they can't pick up on it this is UK and he's also
00:12:01.960
talking about French he mentioned Americans and he says you know Richie Sunak has had these briefings
00:12:07.500
he doesn't want any part of this he does not want to be a wartime prime minister and if he doesn't get
00:12:12.820
out now that's how this is going to devolve over the summer in fact I think they actually pick a time
00:12:17.300
where it become more evident August September what are your thoughts is this guy a has he been a
00:12:22.940
conspiracy theory guy that really puts a tinfoil hat on or is he as you're saying has a tendency or
00:12:30.480
history to be ahead of things and have the courage when you're ahead of things and you're thinking
00:12:35.780
to be able to put it out there well look um Andrew's definitely Andrew Bridget is definitely out there
00:12:42.620
but but out there is where you need to be he's certainly not any further out there than than you
00:12:46.700
or I um but I I definitely wouldn't call myself you know a shrinking violet and and he isn't one either
00:12:52.560
he's very much willing to put his put both feet forward on an issue and and and doesn't really
00:12:57.840
concern himself uh with the incoming uh as a result of that uh there are very few people like that in
00:13:04.060
in in the United Kingdom today there we we often get chased out and we look for freer places where
00:13:08.880
we can express ourselves um easier uh I've no doubt in my mind that uh you know were I to have tweeted
00:13:15.880
some of the things I tweeted back from my apartment in Westminster I would have already been arrested and
00:13:21.160
I'm deadly serious when I say it it's it's it's a it's a deeply deeply concerning thing um but but it
00:13:27.600
it's true and you see people getting arrested for things like that all the time and Bridget was
00:13:31.400
chased out of not one but two political parties um for expressing himself for daring to uh host a
00:13:37.460
member of the Alternative for Deutschland party for daring to talk about the COVID vaccines um and so
00:13:43.160
on and so forth so um look he's definitely prescient um I think hang on hang on hang on hang on full
00:13:50.020
stop full stop you know um Ben has picked up the baton for you now that he's our uh editor of all
00:13:58.200
things international and you're running national polls today today but I consider you in the entire
00:14:05.100
world one of the experts if not the expert on exactly what's really going on in Ukraine and the
00:14:11.940
reason was as you remember in your first couple of years running Breitbart London you talked me into
00:14:17.620
you know you going over there and being part of this you saw something that other people didn't
00:14:23.060
see and when you got there you saw more of it and you dead spot on called the color revolution
00:14:28.220
Victoria Nuland this is back in 13 and 14 right do you believe when he says this did did do you believe
00:14:36.400
when he says this that we're at because he's saying something that's a a a very uh across a red line
00:14:43.000
that we actually have specialists that are equivalent to combat troops that are in Ukraine now
00:14:49.260
manning weapon stations manning um radars manning the equipment you need to launch UK based missiles
00:14:57.700
US based US manufactured US French British too far advanced to the Ukrainian forces into Russia
00:15:06.080
and specifically against the Russian army sir we have always been at war in Eurasia
00:15:12.860
and um I will remind you that uh the coup itself was an act of war um the the if and and here's why
00:15:22.500
that's important because if they were willing to do that and we know they were willing to do that
00:15:26.580
then there is nothing that they're not willing to do uh they already overthrew a government they
00:15:30.560
already supplied and and and gave uh material support to their preferred political faction in in in
00:15:39.020
Ukraine and so I have no doubt I've no doubt and I don't think by the way that Andrew Bridgen is
00:15:43.940
necessarily ahead of this he may be he may be one of the only people um with with massive audience
00:15:49.460
saying it but I think there is this kind of quiet understanding out there right now that that isn't
00:15:54.540
just the case right now that has been the case now for a very long time throughout most of this war
00:15:59.100
for most of this hot war that has been the case um that is why when you talk about boots on the
00:16:05.800
ground and we try to bring that up as a conversation point with establishment people and I see them all
00:16:10.720
the time you know talking to people here on Capitol Hill down down in DC they kind of scoff at it as in
00:16:16.220
like yeah dude that's already been happening we don't this wouldn't be a new development so the answer is yes
00:16:21.820
that is absolutely in my estimation by my sourcing that absolutely is the case
00:16:26.600
and then you would say when we just went through this Ukraine funding
00:16:33.940
fiasco six weeks ago and Johnson said oh I've talked to NATO generals I've been I've gotten the
00:16:42.380
security briefings and I really know what's going on he never mentioned at the time in fact there was a
00:16:47.920
lot of controversy about how engaged in combat we were how engaged in this that he purposely withheld
00:16:54.440
that information oh absolutely absolutely and and of course you know listen there's been no uh proper
00:17:04.100
congressional oversight over this since day one and I don't mean day one you know two years ago I mean
00:17:09.480
day one when this was still um you know a spark in the sparkle in the eye of Victoria Nuland
00:17:15.740
which actually planned this all out and they haven't gone through and figured out and subpoenaed all of
00:17:20.520
her decision making processes and all of that to figure out hey how are we actually involved in a
00:17:25.560
war that has not been authorized by Congress here uh again right I thought I thought the lesson was
00:17:32.300
learned I thought the whole thing about Iraq about Afghanistan about the Arab Spring the interventions
00:17:38.040
in Libya and Syria I thought I thought when they had Hillary Clinton up there you know in a post-Benghazi
00:17:44.140
world that there had been some lessons learned clearly not clearly nobody is interested in getting to the
00:17:50.060
bottom of how this occurred and we know this because we actually bothered to do the research
00:17:53.240
right um and I actually bothered to go there and and remember Steve who came on this show as well when
00:17:58.940
they were talking about the um you know the the counter-offensive the counter-offenses and I stared
00:18:03.380
down this camera and I said there is no counter-offensive they don't have it it's a psyop and just
00:18:08.600
just in the very same way we're experiencing that now
00:18:11.200
uh Ben Harnwell is this tied to uh this report that um the Russians are saying now and they've told
00:18:20.700
the British government if uh if we're hit by uh UK missiles uh in in Russia that we consider that an
00:18:27.580
act of war sir I think it's absolutely tied into that context and that's a message that Moscow has
00:18:34.460
been repeated uh has been repeating for many months now um I don't think anyone is paying any attention
00:18:42.440
to that deliberately because of course if they were to pay attention to that they would need to
00:18:46.280
take note of that I want to come back to something that Raheem was saying um and this might be an
00:18:51.380
opportunity for anyone of the war in posse who's uh who has a legal background to freedom of information
00:18:58.820
this if it is true what Andrew Bridgen has said and as Raheem has just indicated he's not the only
00:19:05.800
person who has been saying this that the British the French the Americans have troops on active duty
00:19:13.460
out there in Ukraine in fact Bridgen himself just said specifically that they're firing the short the
00:19:19.160
storm shadow missiles because the Ukrainians uh can't do that um the Geneva Convention requires active
00:19:27.140
combatants to wear a uniform to distinguish them from civilians so here's my question and I would like
00:19:33.440
I would like to see this foyer I don't think in the UK or in the US they will answer it but not
00:19:39.580
answering that is in itself an answer are we abiding by the Geneva Convention right if we have presence
00:19:47.700
there because if this whole shtick of this war is that we're there to defend the international
00:19:52.380
rules-based order let's be doing that and not undermining it
00:19:57.140
Raheem um I've got a few minutes I'd like to hold both you guys through because I want to talk uh
00:20:04.120
Nikki Haley domestic politics here in a minute but I want to finish Nigel Farage took your advice or the
00:20:09.600
collective advice I guess of Ben me and you uh and he's taken he announced uh he's taking a pass on
00:20:16.420
this can you can you walk us through that yeah don't forget Alexandra who has been also um heavily
00:20:22.380
leaned towards that one of the one of the very active war room posse members who's uh been helping
00:20:27.480
make that decision too and I think I think the the um it's a serious decision for him to make you know
00:20:34.320
obviously he's he actually said in his video that he posted on social media that he knows he's kind of
00:20:39.180
got one big political um role of the dice left in him and this ain't it and and that's correct I
00:20:45.660
mean Rishi Sunak the prime minister will have known that would have taken that into serious
00:20:49.460
consideration when timing this thing for July the 4th uh it doesn't really give somebody like
00:20:55.280
Nigel Farage who isn't currently an incumbent anywhere um to to figure out which seat to run in
00:21:02.180
uh establish a base uh get out there again I'll repeat what I said yesterday in in British politics
00:21:07.700
we don't have television radio advertising that's prescribed um you really communicate with voters at
00:21:13.640
town hall events through leafleting um and other kind of like hyper localized thing and by the way
00:21:19.180
um you the max spending cap for the 30 days out of an election in the UK is about 10,000 pounds
00:21:26.020
or at least was the last time I checked um compare that to your elections that it's it's 10,000 pounds
00:21:32.460
they're they're they're they're hold it they're bar tabs they're bar they spent two and a half
00:21:36.960
billions 10,000 pounds uh Rahim if this would uh because you're the person to mention it that a lot
00:21:43.260
of people said that Sunak before he found out he didn't want to be a wartime prime minister
00:21:46.960
Sunak did this to jump Nigel's announcement in a couple weeks if Nigel had made that if they had
00:21:54.100
not mentioned anything and it still looked like it was going to be November or in January 25 would that
00:22:00.540
announcement in two weeks have been Nigel would it have been different would Nigel have gotten into
00:22:05.220
the race in in some capacity with reform I think if the election were later Nigel would have gotten in
00:22:11.720
uh he would have been far more inclined to um I think the announcement was going to be look if if
00:22:17.000
that is the case if there is a constituency that we can identify that we can compete in um then then
00:22:22.640
yes he would have uh but it's extremely difficult I mean on it when when we ran him for parliament I
00:22:28.240
think for the seventh time or something in 2015 uh he was he at least had the incumbency of being a
00:22:34.600
member of the European parliament uh representing the southeast which was where the seat was that he was
00:22:40.860
fighting for the British parliament pardon the confusion I know it's it's it's um it seems
00:22:46.600
far flung for a lot of people but but in an electoral sense he doesn't have any of that right now and yes
00:22:52.760
he's on television a lot and yes he's he's beloved by by much of the nation but again fighting a British
00:22:58.140
parliamentary seat is very different from that and we found that out the hard way in 2015 when we got
00:23:03.520
you know 13 percent of the national vote ended up with one seat in a parliament of 650 seats so
00:23:10.540
there's been a big amount of talk about proportional representation as a result of those sorts of
00:23:15.760
results it won't happen this time and we will see I think a massive massive labor far left by the way
00:23:22.520
far far left way to the left of your democrats um government in very short order
00:23:28.920
uh ben we had talked about you had actually said a couple months ago hey I may have to relocate to uh
00:23:37.580
to uh being what's the the uh Westminster lobby lobby press because there's a tectonic plate shift going on
00:23:44.720
in British politics are we going to see is this where we're going to see is this the triggering event
00:23:49.240
right now the the the the snap election on the 4th of July it could uh will be um but you know um I'm
00:23:58.100
not sure whether it is going to be an independence day for the Brits um not least given the the choice
00:24:04.280
as Raheem says you can't get a fag paper a cigarette paper between the two major parties I want to come
00:24:11.160
back again to something that Raheem said look I am in our in our New Year's Eve show I picked out my story
00:24:18.120
I did a review of the and I said this is going to the story that's going to dominate from 2023 which will
00:24:23.260
dominate British politics in 2024 and I picked out this story that Richard Tice the leader of UK
00:24:29.360
of uh of the reform party excuse me had said that that the reform UK will stand in all seats in the
00:24:36.760
country um and I said this has this story here has the potential to to put an end to the the oldest
00:24:43.880
political party in the political party in the world the British Conservative Party uh and could reduce
00:24:48.780
them to a Canadian style wipeout and I absolutely think that everything we've seen since uh since
00:24:57.120
New Year's to today is is moving in that direction um like Raheem like I have to say um I look in a sense
00:25:07.880
right in a sense I'm actually happy that Nigel isn't standing um for this reason for this reason
00:25:15.080
because um it changes like I never I did not want to see the the metrics for success of reform UK
00:25:24.260
being tied to whether Nigel wins his wins his seat or not um the impact that reform is a is able to
00:25:33.040
impact on um the change is able to impact on British politics right now vastly vastly exceeds
00:25:40.660
the the simple case of one person uh even if it's Nigel Farage winning the seat the reform is in a
00:25:47.160
potential really to reduce the Tories to a figure around 50 seats possibly even more depending on what
00:25:54.360
happens between now um and the election and with Nigel not standing that that metric for success
00:26:00.920
isn't isn't going to be there guys hang on for a second uh I've got to pick your brain on um
00:26:08.260

00:28:12.480
coming to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government
00:28:18.200
pushed through the Patriot Act this gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans
00:28:22.840
by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now Jim Rickards editor
00:28:29.960
of the independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and New York Times best-selling author
00:28:35.100
is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level
00:28:41.340
in fact some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:28:45.800
expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the
00:28:52.620
wrong causes buy firearms or even vote MAGA the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:28:59.420
I can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately Jim Rickards
00:29:06.700

All this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground with stephen k bannon
00:31:10.540
And do you think nikki haley was therefore aiming herself to be president ultimately?
00:31:16.760
I think nikki haley is incredibly politically ambitious
00:31:20.060
I would say ambitious as lucifer, but that's probably a
00:31:23.640
I'm probably i'm probably taking milton out of context
00:31:29.060
You think she could challenge trump in the primaries?
00:31:32.440
I I think I take nikki haley at her word. That's not 2020
00:31:35.660
I think she's going to go out and make some money
00:31:37.400
I just think the timing everything that she said yesterday and everything about her
00:31:41.500
Stepping down could have been done on the evening of november 6th
00:31:44.940
She's going to stay to the end of the year. There's plenty of time to do a transition plenty of time to pick a
00:31:49.740
Someone to take her place the timing could not have been worse because it stepped on the kavanaugh first day at the supreme court
00:31:56.880
It stepped on the the 50-year anniversary of the lowest we have the lowest unemployment in 50 years it the timing
00:32:07.880
Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I've made that clear many many times
00:32:31.200
To reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me
00:32:55.840
Description on why you're voting for donald trump i've ever heard my I mean it it is
00:33:00.920
It is mind-boggling that somebody who actually claims to know anything about policy
00:33:07.040
Would say what she just said like I said i'm not shocked that she's cynical
00:33:11.320
She's been cynical her entire political work doesn't shock me. She went back to trump
00:33:16.360
But you're gonna have to do a lot better than that mickey
00:33:20.600
Raheem ghassam you've been at the forefront of saying something's going on here
00:33:27.240
Was this a head fake yesterday was this to make sure her donors know that she's now
00:33:35.240
Uh consternation at the convention and and force her way in
00:33:44.940
Um, I remember that uh marvel at the uh the clip from bloomberg there
00:33:49.840
Uh with you saying I believe you're I believe your trousers are ironed your hair is brushed
00:33:55.420
You're all you're a lot cleaner, but you're a lot meaner back then as well. I remember that much too
00:34:05.780
You you you that was only it was in 2018. It was in october raheem was with me
00:34:11.460
Of europe to tee up the european parliamentary elections. We stopped at bloomberg
00:34:17.100
She's ambitious as loose. She's pure and she's limited on capacity and capabilities, but she's long
00:34:27.300
She did that a couple of weeks before the midterm of which nancy pelosi
00:34:31.220
Took back the house and was able to then impeach donald trump, sir
00:34:35.560
Yeah, and uh, you know, you you often say this but
00:34:39.340
Take your aging into account. I believe it's correct to say there are years in which decades
00:34:52.620
The nikki stuff is really fascinating because I I really genuinely don't believe she even is voting or will vote
00:34:59.500
Um for donald trump. I think you know, she will probably go the way of
00:35:03.700
uh, john bolton who I think said recently that he's he's de intends to write in
00:35:10.300
Um bizarre neocon figure from from 20 years ago
00:35:13.820
And and so this is two things. Yes, you're right
00:35:15.940
You're absolutely right to say, you know, there there is a level of positioning here
00:35:20.240
Uh a rather big one but a rather transparent one
00:35:23.340
Um, but I think the other part of this is, um, this is this is more
00:35:27.280
Uh for me about pulling the wool over the eyes of republicans
00:35:30.860
For pulling the wool over the eyes of margot voters
00:35:33.480
So that if she doesn't get her her prime ministership her premiership
00:35:37.080
Uh under this, uh next trump administration that she can come back and she say look, you know, I told you I was on your side
00:35:45.040
Um in my stride and I told people to vote for trump and I said I was going to too
00:35:49.040
However, this is probably going to be like one of those situations. I think we learned down
00:35:54.880
Um, that one of the leaders of the gop in texas said he was voting for donald trump in the primary turns out
00:36:00.460
I think his ballot was leaked and he voted for ron de santis
00:36:03.040
So, um, you know, they're all like it. They're all snakes
00:36:06.080
Are you still hearing you're pretty well sourced
00:36:11.400
Are you still hearing that they're they're they're working on something at the convention, uh to be able to use that as a forcing function
00:36:18.540
To try to force her on the ticket as trump's running mate
00:36:24.700
I mean somebody said the other day it may have even been
00:36:27.860
Um, donald trump himself the other day when he was asked, you know, how are they going to
00:36:31.880
Steal it this time around? He said, well, you know, just about 18 different ways
00:36:36.120
I think it's more like 800 different ways and and the convention is one of the the the there
00:36:42.120
There is a recent report, uh, up at the national pulse at the moment actually
00:36:50.020
Have recently been having conference calls with with biden campaign staff
00:36:54.240
So you have to take all of this into consideration and contextualize it to say
00:36:58.820
This woman does not have any interest in in in supporting margot or donald trump. This is just another ruse
00:37:04.700
And yes, uh, in fact, I have so much sourcing on this right now
00:37:08.500
Steve that i'm going to start sending them directly your way
00:37:11.360
Um, because you have you have a greater ability to to hone this information down than I do
00:37:15.640
Uh, but yes, this is still their plan and and and I I still fully expect at the convention where we will be
00:37:21.480
Uh, for the national pulse reporting live from, uh, that there will be, um, there will be
00:37:26.580
Well, I guess what we call to use another phrase that I can use
00:37:31.760
Raheem, where do people go to get to the national pulse to get your social media all of it?
00:37:38.200
Yeah, the national pulse.com forward slash war room
00:37:42.380
We need you ladies and gentlemen to sign up and support us at the national pulse.com forward slash war room
00:37:48.280
And uh, if you want my uh, my spicy tweets that I would be no doubt arrested for in in in my home country
00:37:54.540
Uh, it's just at raheem kassam on across social media
00:37:58.440
Uh getter truth x uh instagram. You name it i'm there
00:38:02.320
Raheem amazing. I know you got a bounce you want to stay for the show, but you've got
00:38:08.040
Uh, you've been called to duty in action right now. Thank you sir for taking time away today to join us
00:38:13.700
Ben harnwell your thoughts on one of your favorite topics. Uh, yeah, nikki haley
00:38:20.620
Well, coming back to then to bird brain smoke her out
00:38:24.780
Um, she hasn't endorsed uh, donald trump. I think she just said she's going to vote for him
00:38:28.880
Call on her to formally endorse him. Um, I look
00:38:32.640
This is a person who is look I disagree with you. You're talking about that bloomberg thing. You're you're
00:38:39.580
I think you said that she's very talented at some point. I know you're trying to be um, generous
00:38:44.260
Um, she's she's not talented remotely. She's shallow
00:38:47.540
Um, massively out for someone who's a former us ambassador to the united nations
00:38:53.300
Where foreign policy supposed to be a thing massively out of her depth whenever she talks about it
00:38:59.060
Um, and I don't want to go on the superficial about how she talks
00:39:02.140
But seeing as you mentioned nancy pelosi a few moments or so ago
00:39:05.520
Did they share full seat or something they've got that same kind of that saliva thing that
00:39:10.160
When when they're talking no can't stand the woman, um, if it I think she's trying to stay relevant with this
00:39:18.360
This sort of semi pseudo endorsement call a call her bluff
00:39:23.880
Are you going to endorse him formally yes or no and then and then see what she does
00:39:29.140
Uh, I want to pivot to uh, you've got an analysis about georgia maloney and and what's actually happening in in italy
00:39:38.180
And uh, as we lead up to these, uh, european parliamentary elections and then right on top of it
00:39:44.000
What is it six weeks in europe on politics particularly on the right are going to be I think the most intense
00:39:50.860
Probably in the post-war era just what's happening
00:39:53.580
Um, walk me through you had this amazing analysis of what's really happened to workers
00:39:58.440
In italy and what is you think the basis of uh, of a lot of the discontent over there
00:40:03.800
Can you walk us through it and then I want to talk I want some closing thoughts of yours on ukraine
00:40:07.880
This is um, this is a story that reuters carried a few days ago
00:40:13.260
We haven't had a chance to be on the show up until now because of all the other sort of really important stuff
00:40:19.300
Um, so basically here we have a situation where 34 percent of italians
00:40:29.380
Um, which is shocking numbers just like this one one in three
00:40:34.140
Uh the destination by the way of those who want to leave 32 percent the highest by far
00:40:39.860
Uh almost three times higher than those who want to go to uk to the united states
00:40:44.420
So, you know, whatever's going on in in the us domestically
00:40:49.000
You can at least be confident that that beacon of liberty and prosperity and possibility
00:40:54.960
Is still absorbed outside the country as much as the democrats and uh republicans are conspiring together
00:41:02.580
Um to destroy it. Um, but here's a knockdown statistic steve right
00:41:07.800
Over 30 years this is official oecd statistics over 30 years
00:41:20.260
Right in italy one percent wage movement over 30 years
00:41:28.600
Average over the oecd countries. Um, that just absolutely shows you how the political class
00:41:36.520
In italy for three decades has pushed this country
00:41:41.240
Um, really into the ground, um, that is the context
00:41:45.080
You know, I raise my hat to you because you were saying this years and years and years ago
00:41:49.480
But it is going to be the laboratory for something new the merging of the of the populist and nationalist movements
00:41:56.520
Which actually did occur and it formed a government on the basis of that
00:42:00.040
Um, this is the the context and the background to that just and this is why italians are so disillusioned
00:42:05.880
With the political pro program at the moment and I think why
00:42:11.880
A clear third of the country is supporting a political party that the press have said universally is far-right and extremist
00:42:21.240
Um, because that is where the country is willing to go in order to effect change
00:42:24.680
Now, I don't think the maloney government is remotely far-right
00:42:28.600
Uh, not remotely and it's it's it's not fascist as is as the mainstream media is constantly depicting it
00:42:35.800
But it illustrates the desperation of what can happen when a country is neglected and abused for so long
00:42:48.600
I spent a lot of time in italy with you, uh, and and getting to know the populist movement there the nationalist movement the sovereignty movement everybody from
00:42:57.080
The northern alliance to uh, the brothers of uh, of italy
00:43:03.080
I've never and we you know, you and I have gone to the rallies and seen salvini and see, you know
00:43:07.240
Particularly when they had that great movement and kind of merged the two populists of the right and left to try to have a coalition government
00:43:14.600
But I never saw raw anger like i've seen some other places
00:43:18.920
How could you possibly only have one percent pay increase over 30 years and not have people on the verge of revolt?
00:43:28.680
In italy, uh, how how can that be when you actually and you can feel it when you're there you understand
00:43:33.800
With all this beauty and all this, uh, the the really the highlight of the judeo-christian west all around you from architecture to art
00:43:43.720
There's something and and the people are great people just good people great people. There's something
00:43:49.160
Missing of the economic vibrancy you have cultural and social vibrancy
00:43:54.440
But you you can tell that you don't feel the unlocking of the animal spirits
00:44:01.160
But why are they not why are they not taken to the streets and burn the place down?
00:44:12.200
We've identified it. It's the italian middle class and working class. Why is there not more anger?
00:44:19.880
Well, look culturally you you flag up the cultural point. I cannot
00:44:23.720
Not not ignore the fact that say over 100 150 years
00:44:28.680
All of the italians with that real entrepreneurial sense and that sense that they want to do something with their lives have left this country
00:44:41.880
Of that massive my or to london hang on hang on or or or or or or or to london the one of the big places
00:44:48.280
They've gone to in the last 20 years right is london
00:44:51.880
The united states, but you've taken you're saying that the answer the real
00:44:55.640
Cutting-edge entrepreneur class has just decided
00:44:59.080
By the time they're 18 19 20 21. I got to get out of here or i'm just going to end up like my buddies, right?
00:45:06.440
Yeah, when I said you know when I said coming to america
00:45:09.080
I've really meant the ellis island thing over 150 years ago huge like whole generations of italian workers left
00:45:16.360
So what you have left are people who are basically
00:45:20.040
Culturally, you know, they they've imbibed this
00:45:25.880
Basically, uh, will be will be satisfied the italians aren't french
00:45:31.080
Um, if you'd have had the french in this country rather than italians
00:45:35.480
They would have had so many 1789's by now so many french revolutions the italians aren't
00:45:41.800
You know, they're they're not a revolt. They're not a revolting people, uh, they don't they don't revolt
00:45:48.440
Um, so you know as they save themselves here, you know
00:45:51.720
As long as the italian guy has a plate of pasta for his lunch
00:45:55.880
Uh has a football match to watch the weekend on the tv
00:45:59.400
You know, he's got enough petrol to put his guy. He's never going to to go out
00:46:03.880
Um, and overturn things like the french would do and there's a lot of you know
00:46:07.480
That is commonly said here and there's a lot of truth to that
00:46:10.920
Um, the consequences of that is that it means the government can get over with my
00:46:17.160
Almost murder basically and and that's what they've been doing just I mean, just think about think about this, right?
00:46:22.280
Most countries around the world will post now. I know that
00:46:25.320
Look, I don't rate gdp as a concept. I certainly don't rate gdp growth as a meaningful statistic whatsoever
00:46:32.440
But we are used to seeing two three four percent growth reported on
00:46:38.280
You know apart from the hiccup over kovid those are sort of reasonable statistics
00:46:46.200
Divided over split over 30 years this shows you how sclerotic
00:46:51.480
The italian economy is and it's by design, right? I have to say you can't just blame as I am doing the italian political class
00:46:59.000
It's what people want people want a job for life
00:47:06.200
And there's not the time to to break down is that but you do need some element some essential discipline of free market
00:47:13.240
Otherwise, you'll be destroying as much wealth as you are creating it
00:47:16.920
And it's like that medical condition in the heart where you have a weak heart valve and it's pushing back as much
00:47:23.080
Unoxygenated blood as it is is coming coming through. It's the same thing with the economy
00:47:27.480
If you cut you could it's impossible to suck anyone in this country
00:47:30.920
You can really only suck someone in this country
00:47:35.720
If they're caught with their hands in the till basically if you don't you don't do anything, right?
00:47:42.440
And sometimes you don't even need to do that right and and they can't fire you
00:47:46.120
So if you can't fight and this is in the public service and in the private sector
00:47:50.280
If you can't fire somebody right and people aren't dumb
00:47:53.800
Then they're going to come to work, but they're not going to do anything and that's exactly what you have
00:47:58.200
That's why you have one percent growth. So in a sense
00:48:01.080
Let's blame the massive corruption in the political system because it is there
00:48:05.640
But also a certain word needs to be directed towards the italian people themselves for having sort of voted this system in and perpetuated it
00:48:20.200
We got so much more to talk to what we'll we'll talk through we'll do it hopefully tomorrow
00:48:24.120

00:49:10.680
It hasn't you know, there hasn't been a formal declaration of war
00:49:13.640
But that I think you know, and i've heard things like that as well as you and rahim have done
00:49:19.240
That that does seem to strike sense and it does illustrate as of course
00:49:28.120
It does illustrate something about putin's sense of restraint
00:49:34.040
That he hasn't uh made any corresponding maneuvers against these countries
00:49:39.000
His red line being of course incidentally touched on earlier whether ukraine sends british
00:49:46.680
Or american made long-range missiles deep into russian territory now america still said no that
00:49:54.360
