Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 560： The Lies Of Think Tanks, Pentagon, And The Deep State

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

00:00:11.280 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:19.020 get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in Georgia

00:00:24.760 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:29.880 this is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:33.660 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:40.780 stephen k bannon it's friday 21 june year of alert 2024 thank you for being here for the uh for our

00:00:49.900 wrap-up hour in the late afternoon early evening edition of uh of war room we're very honored to

00:00:56.100 have ben harnwell's in rome and i'll join me here momentarily very honored to have colonel douglas

00:01:00.880 mcgregor not just one of the most brilliant i would say geopoliticians geopolitical thinkers strategists

00:01:06.500 but also and i think i can say this one the most controversial um colonel mcgregor first honored to

00:01:12.280 have you on here you've got uh um an organization that you're running now i want to get to in a

00:01:17.300 minute that american citizens and patriots can kind of join up but just your thinking uh you know we

00:01:23.300 keep saying we're in the early stage of the kinetic part of a third world war uh can you just

00:01:28.280 walk us through that you're toward the horizon what what you see out there as a strategist and

00:01:32.940 geopolitician of what's happening on the more national security you know conflict part of this

00:01:38.960 sir and where the united states stands in all of it well first of all i don't uh subscribe to the

00:01:45.480 notion that there is anything more important happening overseas than what's happening inside our country

00:01:51.120 right now the greatest threat that presents itself to us is what this government and what washington

00:01:57.200 is doing to us we would not now be embroiled in the war in eastern ukraine in any way shape or form if

00:02:05.160 we had any common sense and understood that russia is by no means a direct threat to the united states

00:02:11.520 it's responding to the threats that we've created against it and in the middle east i think any other

00:02:18.520 president uh frankly would have reigned in the israelis a long time ago and pointed out the

00:02:24.840 the limitations of their power and the critical path that they're on so my view is that what's most

00:02:30.200 important today are the open borders the unprotected borders the unrestricted admission to the united

00:02:36.840 states of everyone and anyone the destruction of the rule of law here at home the rising criminality

00:02:42.680 and the weaponization of immigration and virtually everything else the government can use against

00:02:50.200 us the american people we're the americans we're not hyphenated we're not part-time

00:02:56.040 and we are so-called americans first

00:02:59.160 you you've spent your career i would argue in the belly of the beast so you know this apparatus

00:03:07.680 how did it get like this how does a guy like you that's a patriot and and dedicate your life

00:03:12.600 to not just service but defense of your country defense of this republic end up at the at the you

00:03:19.120 know the end of your career and say that the the greatest threat hey i can look at i get you know

00:03:25.280 you got this thing in ukraine you got to sing in gaza you got this thing in the red sea you got this

00:03:29.120 taiwanese straits you know south china sea but the greatest threat is a government that's been

00:03:35.400 weaponized against the american people you're you're you've been an insider how did this happen

00:03:40.380 i think we have to go back to the aftermath of 1991 uh the victory in the desert storm created the

00:03:50.220 illusion of almost limitless power at the same time you had almost a restoration of conditions that

00:03:56.780 existed at the end of the second world war remember when we emerged from the second world war we were the

00:04:02.160 only country that was undamaged virtually everybody else was in ruins well it's not quite the same in

00:04:08.640 1991 or 92 but that certainly applies to a large extent to the soviet union and its satellite states

00:04:15.740 virtually everyone that had adopted the soviet model of economic and political development

00:04:21.720 so in 1992 we suddenly found ourselves on the world stage with no one that we thought could

00:04:28.580 challenge us and i would urge everyone to go online and read paul wolfowitz's memorandum that

00:04:35.700 he penned at the time which essentially outlines what we now call in retrospect the unipolar moment

00:04:41.940 and then advocates the use of american military power to do anything we want frankly to not just export

00:04:50.000 democracy at gunpoint but to gain control of the middle east to gain control of other parts of the world

00:04:56.440 that he judged and his friends judged as uh strategically important and we've been on that path ever since

00:05:02.660 i don't think there's any evidence that we've deviated from it so if you read his 1992 memo and then you move

00:05:08.800 forward to today i think you will see that we have a trail of destruction and ruin behind us and we've

00:05:15.960 also ruined ourselves we have squandered our wealth squandered our strength at the same time not just

00:05:23.460 exporting our manufacturing base but effectively destroying our military establishment along the way

00:05:29.700 because wars even small ones conflicts that are incessant always tax military establishments and

00:05:36.500 and ruin them and that's what's happened to us particularly in the last 21 22 years

00:05:41.640 you see you've you've got a new site our country what what's your new uh site is our country one

00:05:51.640 country what is no our country our choice yeah so what does that mean our country our choice you're

00:05:58.300 saying we we we have a choice as patriots to determine whether we continue down this path of

00:06:03.240 empire and trying to be a hegemon or that we go back to being a constitutional republic is that choice

00:06:08.160 no i think so i think so and i think the problem and i i'm sure you've witnessed this yourself

00:06:13.980 most americans and most most of the time are complacent i remember years ago when newt gingrich

00:06:20.560 caused the government to shut down and i watched this man on television i think he was on a bike

00:06:27.340 he had a case of beer strapped to the back he was riding in some major city in the united states

00:06:33.400 and he was stopped and the newsman said well what do you think about the government shutdown

00:06:37.120 does this affect you and he said well probably not i can as long as i can go out and get a case of beer

00:06:43.660 watch the game tonight uh and i'm secure in my apartment i can pay my bills uh you know i don't

00:06:50.380 really care and i think that's been the problem in the country for a very very long time americans have

00:06:56.280 no real interest in going to war with russia or china or iran or anybody else

00:07:01.140 they've been driven to these things by others who have an agenda the only american agenda i've ever

00:07:07.520 seen is peace and prosperity and i think that's that could be reconstituted as you say but it's

00:07:14.400 going to take a lot of effort now because we've done so much damage to ourselves but hang on you were

00:07:21.840 an army officer for how many years colonel 28 and how much that time did you work you were in the field

00:07:29.520 but you've you have worked at the pentagon and and and been inside or those agencies associated with

00:07:35.480 the pentagon yeah i was assigned to the war plans division of the army staff and the war plans

00:07:41.540 division is a very interesting place that's where marshall cultivated and effectively developed most of

00:07:48.980 the senior officers of the second world war they were under him there and then when he became chief

00:07:52.980 of staff of the army he continued to draw heavily on officers assigned there because he felt they had

00:07:58.360 some strategic background perhaps the most famous right off the top of my head is a way to meyer

00:08:03.700 and well i was i'll give a quick example of how important service in that particular division of the

00:08:10.280 army staff is in 1995 i think it was i guess it would have been the fall of 1994 excuse me

00:08:18.200 i was called in and summoned by my boss i was a lieutenant colonel at that time who'd just come out of

00:08:24.520 command in fort riley kansas and i was asked to put together a two-page paper that could be used as a

00:08:31.220 position paper for the chief of staff of the army regarding the balkans bosnia herzegovina

00:08:37.360 and so i said yes okay i'll sit down i put it together and effectively i outlined that we had no vital

00:08:44.680 strategic interests in the balkans we had no history in the balkans and it was effectively a european

00:08:50.860 matter and by the way the landlord in that part of the world for the last several hundred years has

00:08:56.100 been russia it would be unwise for the united states to meddle in that region and involve

00:09:01.700 ourselves in the yugoslav civil war on the side of someone that might provoke russia and i put this

00:09:09.280 together and i recommended that we stay out and certainly not commit to anything that would involve

00:09:13.600 the permanent stationing of u.s forces on the ground of the balkans everybody read it over all the

00:09:19.700 way up through two stars it was carried into the chief of staff of the army who at the time was

00:09:23.580 general gordon sullivan he thanked everyone said it was perfect he took it over and delivered it at

00:09:30.440 the white house you can see how much impact that had but here's the point i want to get to by the way

00:09:38.480 we went and warned the balkans and actually the united states forces bombed belgrade right uh the with

00:09:43.940 the the the christian nation over there as we fought on the side of the muslims but

00:09:47.740 here's my point at night and uh general west clark was the supreme commander at the time and i

00:09:56.620 witnessed that in real time on the satellite feed walk me through okay walk me through that you would

00:10:03.540 give it no no you had given a you had given a plan that said hey we have no interest no strategic

00:10:08.640 i mean this is only second to not having interest in ukraine from the great thinkers and strategists

00:10:14.740 of world war ii but but but but but how did it end up then brother you do a thing and the chief of

00:10:20.740 staff says i got it this is great let me go over to national security council go to the white house

00:10:24.840 and you end up in a in a situation room watching remote where we're bombing the christian nation of

00:10:30.960 serbia and belgrade and we're on fighting on the side of the muslims sir and for that and keep in mind

00:10:37.700 that's four years later because in the interim in 1995 i ended up being sent by then the chief of

00:10:48.180 strategy the j5 on the joint staff who happened to be lieutenant general west clark i was sent to

00:10:53.640 bosnia herzegovina to personally liaison with the croats and the bosniaks for him when he summoned me he

00:11:01.900 said douglas can you uh represent america's interests in in balkans i said well sir what are those

00:11:10.460 what's the position i'm supposed to represent well we are anti-serb we are pro bosniak and pro croat

00:11:17.820 i said sir is that the policy stance of the united states government he said yes it is

00:11:22.460 i said well sir if that's our policy yes i can i could be your liaison officer for some period of time

00:11:28.060 in sarajevo and he said very well i want to want to send you over there gave me a set of instructions

00:11:33.180 i ended up spending 30 days there riding around in an armored ford fairlane 500 that was driven by a

00:11:42.140 sergeant from the ranger regiment with whom i'd actually gone through winter ranger which was kind

00:11:46.780 of odd but the two of us had some very interesting adventures we were driving all over the place to look

00:11:52.700 at the terrain because subsequently general clark brought me back to the proximity talks at dayton

00:11:58.940 and i was supposed to help draw maps there and the purpose of going over there and seeing the terrain

00:12:03.340 was to draw maps for the final or at least the interim territorial solution between the bosnia acts

00:12:09.660 the muslims and the serbs in a way that would favor the bosnia acts because the bosnia acts had turned

00:12:15.020 out to be deplorably bad soldiers and needed all the help they could get so that's where i was and

00:12:20.700 what you're referring to now in kosovo that came along later i was sent over there in november

00:12:26.620 uh 1998 and again it was general wes clark who brought me over there to the joint operations

00:12:31.900 center where i was the director of essentially strategic planning and then became the director

00:12:37.660 of the joint operations center for the kosovo air campaign which lasted 78 days and i had about 240

00:12:45.660 uh officers from 19 nations on 24-hour shifts uh changing every every 12 hours and so i went through

00:12:54.700 that entire business and you know unfortunately steve it was my it was both my good fortune to have the

00:13:02.220 experience and see so much and learn so much but at the same time it was unfortunate for me because i

00:13:07.180 ended up executing orders that i did not necessarily think were in the interest of the american people in

00:13:12.780 fact i thought they were dumb ideas but i had no choice

00:13:20.060 let me the the men you men and women you serve with were dedicated to their country's defense

00:13:25.740 and good people and mostly come from either working class or middle class backgrounds

00:13:29.740 how do we this is my point how do we get to the place we are today

00:13:34.780 when at least i guess until recently with these feel great the woke nature of the military but when i was in

00:13:40.540 and you were in the really the best folks in the country had volunteered for this and they're

00:13:45.820 they were great people and everybody was working what they felt was in the best interest of the

00:13:51.740 defense of their nation so what happened what what what what went wrong and who was it that made it go

00:13:58.300 wrong i think you got again i i take you back to paul wolfowitz who is probably the architect

00:14:05.340 and he worked closely with richard pearl and bill crystal and a host of other people

00:14:11.180 whose principal aims were to pursue american military political financial economic hegemony in the

00:14:18.860 world i mean obviously they had a keen interest given their backgrounds and what happened in the

00:14:24.780 middle east particularly with israel but it was a global perspective and they managed to insert

00:14:31.100 themselves through a series of uh administrations they were there under clinton active uh involved

00:14:38.860 either outside or inside the administrations and then under george bush they effectively took over

00:14:43.900 i'm talking about w and we know what happened there we were we were launched into wars in the

00:14:50.220 middle east on the basis of 9 11. and this continued frankly even under obama these people were never

00:14:57.260 completely out of the picture they were always present and i would argue that now today they

00:15:02.300 and their sponsors control virtually everything in washington certainly all the so-called think tanks

00:15:07.660 although that's pretty much of an oxymoron if you know anything about what comes out of them

00:15:12.060 uh so you know that this is a long evolutionary process they've had a lot of patience

00:15:18.540 they've worked hard they're smart people and uh the average american didn't pay much attention

00:15:22.860 but but the track record let me just the track record of um the track record of this thought of

00:15:32.380 being a hegemon has been catastrophic i mean let's just go from night look first off in the balkans i

00:15:37.740 think that was catastrophic but let's just jump to the big ones after night the wars of choice in

00:15:43.180 both afghanistan and iran and i say in afghanistan after the elimination in the first 45 days of the

00:15:49.100 taliban or at least the major operating entity of the taliban the wars of choice in iraq and afghanistan

00:15:55.100 and now ukraine have been absolute unmitigated disasters there's been no we've had no victories 0.68

00:16:01.100 we've had nothing but i think it's nine trillion dollars in expense according to brown university's

00:16:07.420 center uh and you know you know what eight ten thousand dead uh fifty thousand casualties ptsd all

00:16:15.020 over the place and so so the the track record is horrific plus we've added now all this debt that

00:16:21.820 makes that the leading national security uh crisis of our country my biggest national security interest

00:16:27.340 is scott besant who could be probably the next secretary of treasury under trump says he thinks

00:16:32.860 the debt and the growing number of the debt in the in the trillion dollars in defense is actually a

00:16:36.780 national security issue so their track record's been absolutely abysmal not close how can they how

00:16:43.980 can people that think like this us as an empire hegemonic power continue to call the shots well

00:16:50.220 i think part of it is the decision that was taken primarily under w the second bush to pursue guns and

00:16:59.100 butter in other words there was no question of a trade-off there was no thinking in terms if we invest

00:17:05.180 this much money here then it comes at the expense of money over there the argument was no we can do

00:17:10.940 everything all we'll do is print money we'll just continue to borrow and everybody will come to us

00:17:15.660 because there's nowhere else for them to go now of course you know as well as i do if you look at

00:17:20.620 the 10-year treasury market these days we're buying up our own treasuries because nobody wants them

00:17:26.460 the only people that are interested in buying any treasuries are those who are interested in the two-year

00:17:30.860 investment which tells you something about the extraordinary lack of confidence and faith in the united

00:17:35.900 states government and its economy but i think that that contributed to it because i think these

00:17:42.380 people that you're discussing i mean we called them neocons they're now increasingly collectively

00:17:47.420 referred to as globalists you can call them anything you want but the bottom line is they figured out that

00:17:53.500 if you sedate the american public with lots of free money uh easy lives comfortable lives whatever

00:18:03.100 they want to purchase as consumers then it doesn't make any difference to them what you do remember

00:18:09.180 george bush's famous comment after we went into afghanistan and iraq he said

00:18:15.580 mr president was asked mr president should we prepare for war he said no

00:18:19.580 go to the mall shop that's worked so well because as long as americans can go to the mall and shop as

00:18:27.100 long as they can buy what they want then they're not going to pay much attention to what happens beyond

00:18:30.380 their borders because steve as you know and everybody knows this in washington most americans don't really

00:18:37.500 care what happens beyond their borders and they don't understand it our educational system doesn't 0.83

00:18:43.660 instill any understanding of the world much beyond where people live in this country we

00:18:47.580 we we are planet america as a spanish general staff officer once said to me and he's right we are

00:18:56.700 tell me talk to me about ukraine you could actually not agree with but see this push they

00:19:01.420 had in iraq and afghanistan after 9 11 but the ukraine war you mentioned the balkans and and the parts

00:19:08.460 you were going around is where world war one started um it was a place that we've always wanted to stay as

00:19:14.220 far away from as possible if you look at world war ii the great minds patten montgomery eisenhower

00:19:19.980 marshall not in a billion years so they have ever thought of getting tied up uh in places like the

00:19:25.740 ukraine which is worse than the balkans but over towards the more central asian part of the of the

00:19:32.460 boundaries of europe how did the united states get wrapped up into a ground war in ukraine sir

00:19:39.100 well first of all remember we have no national strategy per se whether you call it military

00:19:45.100 economic or otherwise most of what comes out of the pentagon is just boilerplate dribble

00:19:50.940 there is no systematic approach to the world that identifies those areas of vital strategic interest

00:19:57.580 and those areas where we have ports of importance oil coal minerals rare earths or anything else

00:20:04.860 in fact this is not a new problem steve during world war ii when marshall first started meeting

00:20:11.020 with the british imperial general staff he would show up with about eight or nine officers then the

00:20:17.180 british would march in and they had under their arms maps and papers systematically displaying everything

00:20:24.780 of any value in the world because the british at least had the idea that when the world or excuse me

00:20:30.700 when the war ended they knew where they wanted to be they wanted to be in control of the oil they

00:20:35.900 wanted to be in control of sea lanes they wanted to be in control of ports and airfields and minerals

00:20:41.580 and so forth we had no such plan so marshall shows up and the only man that had any serious general

00:20:48.540 staff college education was waitemeyer who had gone to the german general staff college and waitemeyer

00:20:54.140 was brought in because marshall trusted him and needed his help to plan the war

00:20:59.500 we've never really advanced much beyond that we we don't we don't have a general staff we don't

00:21:05.420 systematically look at anything because no one will make their minds up regarding what is important

00:21:10.460 instead we say we have unlimited resources we have limitless power we can do whatever we want and of

00:21:18.380 course that's nonsense and we're now broke we're very vulnerable we've got a fraction of the power that

00:21:24.380 we once had 30 years ago certainly after 1991 and we're largely isolated in the world people don't

00:21:31.020 want to follow us anymore the world is defecting to the so-called bricks uh you know led by moscow and 0.94

00:21:37.820 beijing the petrodollar is gone we just go down the list and you look at the armed forces they're they're

00:21:43.260 they're a mess to be blunt they're not prepared to fight anybody we have no assembly lines that can

00:21:49.260 rapidly produce missiles or shells or anything else it's it's deplorable the state that we're in right

00:21:56.220 now and the best the only thing that people in washington can can do is live in a state of

00:22:00.540 denial that they refuse to reconcile themselves to the world that exists because they want this

00:22:06.620 world that doesn't exist that they've lost that they've squandered so i think the easy way to say

00:22:13.100 this how did we get here well if you have no strategy everything is important or it's whatever

00:22:18.780 you say on a given day is important remember there was a time back in the early 1960s when everybody

00:22:24.540 said oh laos is a vital strategic interest to the united states absurd absolutely not there was a time

00:22:31.740 when we said it's vitally strategic to us that that vietnam remain a free liberal democratic republic well

00:22:38.860 first of all it never was and it hasn't and it's irrelevant so there's no truth there's no systematic

00:22:46.060 way to approach anything in this country we're we're just careening down the track coming off a peak

00:22:53.180 headed straight into a ravine and americans are enjoying themselves and as long as they can fill

00:22:59.020 their tanks with gas buy whatever they want they're not going to pay a lot of attention but when the food

00:23:04.060 stamps stop and the prosperity drops precipitously then i think there will be hell to pay in this

00:23:11.100 country

00:23:14.220 colonel you're you're obviously uh you know you're on tucker a lot uh the great tucker carlson president

00:23:19.660 trump takes your counsel and guidance given where we are in the summer of 2024 and we can't solve

00:23:28.060 everything immediately what would be your advice uh to president trump upon his return on the first 100

00:23:34.540 days just triage the the colonel mcgregor punch list that you think needs to happen just to get our arms

00:23:41.900 around where we are and begin the process of turning it around sir well the first thing is that president

00:23:50.140 trump needs to remember the advice or go back and look at the advice that dwight eisenhower gave jfk

00:23:56.940 right after the inauguration because president kennedy who at that point didn't like eisenhower very much

00:24:02.940 nevertheless went to him and he said well mr president uh general uh do you have any last advice

00:24:08.620 for me and eisenhower looked him looked him straight in the eye and said yes if you want to be a successful

00:24:15.900 president be a good butcher and of course jfk was a little stymie didn't understand what he meant

00:24:23.260 he said you've got to be prepared to get rid of people to eliminate people people will be disloyal

00:24:29.260 to you people will disobey your orders people who are incompetent and as soon as you've identified them

00:24:35.260 in the white house or anywhere in your administration you must immediately dispose of them if you don't

00:24:41.180 they will drag you down now you and i don't need to go back through what happened as a result of the bay of

00:24:46.460 pigs where kennedy got an education the hard way and subsequently went back to see eisenhower and

00:24:52.540 spent a lot of time with him saying god help us you were right i think when president but hang on

00:24:58.860 hang on hang on hang on hang on but hang on one of the things we do here is is history this is so

00:25:03.980 important because he gave him that advice on the early in the afternoon of the 20th of january of 1961

00:25:11.260 right after the inauguration the bay of pigs happened the bay of pigs was in the next 30 days

00:25:16.540 i mean it was february march wasn't it of 1961 yeah and uh so he was only in he was only in 30 days

00:25:24.140 he was only 30 only in 30 days before the cia and the pentagon sucked him into a essentially a trap

00:25:30.940 for a full invasion of cuba correct exactly no you you've perfectly articulated the problem

00:25:37.340 and i think that's what that sort of trap is being laid right now for president trump

00:25:42.780 and he needs to understand that if he goes in there the first thing he has to do is call a halt

00:25:47.580 to just about everything that's happening strategically and he has to be prepared to

00:25:51.740 immediately ask for people's papers to retire go away resign and he has to also decide to put people

00:25:58.380 in there that are loyal to him and believe in what he does then they may not come from ivy league

00:26:04.860 schools and colleges and they may not be products of service academies but as i've said before and i

00:26:10.540 i've said this while i was in his administration for the brief period that i was there you're better

00:26:15.260 off with those people because look at the disasters that all the so-called smart people have created over

00:26:21.100 the last 30 years and that at that point it was pretty obvious as you as you pointed out so you know

00:26:28.140 this is exactly the kind of thing that awaits president trump you know we've got colonel mcgregor

00:26:34.860 just hang on one second we're taking a short commercial break colonel douglas mcgregor his new uh

00:32:14.700 women you gotta make your own choices colonel mcgregor to talk about the trap you see potentially for

00:32:19.420 president trump i want to go back in time back to kennedy uh jack kennedy is a young naval officer

00:32:24.780 as you know with the pt boat um you know had the situation in the solomon islands but saved his

00:32:29.900 men maybe not the best ship handling in the world um you know the argument that he may have

00:32:35.500 cut across a japanese destroyer and got cut into but regardless a hero to save his men

00:32:41.340 a patriot uh you think about it he steps in after eisenhower warns the nation about the

00:32:46.940 military industrial complex and hey what was ike's job he was only supreme allied commander

00:32:51.980 right the first head of the nato troops chief of state i mean all of it and so he warns us about

00:32:57.020 the military industrial complex kennedy comes in you got bay of pigs then you have khrushchev's 0.51

00:33:02.620 you know sensing weakness he braces him up in in uh in austria at that meeting you then have the

00:33:07.740 cuban missile crisis uh and it leads to eventually having to having to you know being the pentagon

00:33:13.740 everybody saying you got to take a stand somewhere because you've botched everything else you've

00:33:17.180 touched they decided on vietnam and uh and of course they come to him after a couple of years of

00:33:23.100 that not working out and they say you know we really got to get rid of diem the problem is you got 0.93

00:33:27.020 the catholics running the country it's a buddhist country that's our problem and after pushing him and 1.00

00:33:32.140 pushing him he agrees okay how are you going to do it well we got the military everything like

00:33:37.100 that it's going to be peaceful we're going to do a coup but they're going to take him to the airport

00:33:40.620 they're going to fly to thailand or wherever and live like kings the rest of their life it'd all be

00:33:44.700 good and that dramatic scene where they walk into the oval office and tell him oh by the way they were

00:33:50.300 assassinated in the back of a truck by essentially the mil of the cia and the military and all the blood 0.77

00:33:56.700 ran out of kennedy and he was a pretty smart savvy guy less than 30 days later he's assassinated

00:34:02.620 is that the type of trap do you see a parallel between the kennedy uh administration and what's

00:34:07.180 happening to president trump sir well i i think there's certainly the potential for it uh there

00:34:13.100 there are a lot of similarities you know jack kennedy was someone that loved the united states as you

00:34:18.140 point out he was a patriot he he wasn't really prepared intellectually or professionally for the

00:34:24.700 job he's a smart man but his experience as a senator from the state of massachusetts did not confer on him

00:34:32.540 the kind of attributes that he needed to be successful in other words you mentioned eisenhower

00:34:37.580 eisenhower knew virtually everyone in the international system and he was by no means a great general in fact if

00:34:43.980 you look at his conduct of the war it leaves a lot to be desired but eisenhower learned from what he

00:34:49.260 experienced he learned from the mistakes that he made and he carried those lessons with him into

00:34:53.900 the presidency and i think on the whole did a very very fine job i think kennedy had that problem and i

00:35:00.220 think donald trump is going to face something similar maybe worse because so much of the federal

00:35:05.180 bureaucracy is hostile to to president trump and his beliefs and his values and his attitudes

00:35:13.980 so you're saying the globalists have so run things for the last 30 or 40 years it's gonna

00:35:17.900 be tough to root them out so what go back because you were there you know trump what's the punch list

00:35:22.700 you would tell him that has to be done and if these things aren't done the rest of it's just going to be a

00:35:27.900 fiasco what are the two or three things that you believe he has to do in the first hundred days

00:35:33.340 to just not turn it around and not solve it because that's but just to get a handle on exactly how you

00:35:40.460 not not only make decisions but those decisions are promulgated down through the system well you

00:35:46.220 know from your own experience that a president is fortunate if he can achieve three or four major

00:35:52.300 changes while he's in office and most of the groundwork for that has to be established in the

00:35:57.740 first 30 to 60 days because by the end of the first year his administration has already begun to run

00:36:06.940 out of steam and this of course is assuming that he has a congress that's even remotely ready to

00:36:14.140 cooperate with him which may not be the case so the first thing he's got to do is something that you and

00:36:19.580 i talked about and and was not done when he first came into office i thought i'm sure you thought

00:36:25.900 everybody thought that he would tackle the border and illegal immigration and human trafficking and the

00:36:31.660 drugs and criminality all of it bound up together and instead he went after obamacare which shocked

00:36:38.860 the hell out of me i certainly never expected it but that's the first thing he's got to do he's got to

00:36:43.660 stop the bleeding that's what you do when you're trying to save lives well we're bleeding badly on the

00:36:49.180 southern border but it's not just the southern border all of our borders are literal waters everything

00:36:54.140 everything has to be secured i mean what the hell is the united states coast guard doing in the

00:36:59.100 south china sea i mean this is the sort of nonsense that has to end everybody wants to go everywhere

00:37:04.860 and do everything but nobody wants to defend the united states and the american people he's got to

00:37:09.260 fix that right up right up front so the border and immigration is number one probably ought to get rid of 1.00

00:37:15.020 the department of homeland security completely and uh probably establish uh the department of defense as

00:37:23.100 as the agency that should be responsible particularly the u.s army uh for the borders of the united

00:37:28.940 states and the navy as well with the coast guard we don't we don't need to have separations like

00:37:33.020 that anyway this is all nonsense from the past so the first thing is deal with the borders deal with

00:37:38.700 homeland security the second thing he's got to and that's going to entail the immediate commitment

00:37:43.660 of 40 50 60 000 troops just to the border and it doesn't end there because as soon as you close the

00:37:49.180 border and you're effective and you stop the flow of drugs through that and you stop it at sea and

00:37:55.420 coming in through the air you're going to end up with a war inside the united states because the

00:37:59.580 drug cartels aren't going to take it lying down so you're going to have to fight here at home

00:38:03.900 the second thing that has to be done is that we right now hang on hang on hang on hang on

00:38:10.620 hang on slow down before we do that are you also saying that you would at every level even in mexico

00:38:17.980 and clearly here in the united states and you would do i guess go over posse comitatus to have the

00:38:23.420 the army do it you would engage in a paramilitary or military conflict with the cartels not just cut

00:38:29.180 them off financially just not cut them off technologically but you would actually as enemy

00:38:34.060 combatants take on the cartels no you have to you have to listen to me carefully i said you secure

00:38:39.820 the border that's what you do you don't invade mexico you don't conduct expeditions into mexico my

00:38:47.660 point is that if you secure that border and you stop the criminality human trafficking the drugs

00:38:54.540 the cartels will not be happy and they will fight you inside of our country we have to be prepared

00:39:01.420 for that we're not prepared for that everyone who is in the law enforcement business will tell you that

00:39:06.940 the cartels are are penetrating all of our law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies

00:39:12.700 they know everything they want to know about us before we do it we've got a serious problem

00:39:16.540 inside the united states that has to be addressed and that's going to absorb a lot of time money

00:39:23.340 resources but if we don't do that we will lose our country we'll end up looking exactly like mexico 0.99

00:39:29.260 we'll have a facade of a government but it'll become an organized crime state so that's number one

00:39:35.740 number two is he's got to get involved and and deal with the problem of overhead in the military

00:39:41.420 and when i talk about the military i'm also talking about the intelligence agencies one of the things

00:39:47.980 that you have to get control of if you're going to have command as the chief executive of the united

00:39:54.220 states is what lenin called the organs of power the military the police the justice department the

00:40:01.020 intelligence agencies you've got to have your people in there you've got to clean those places out

00:40:06.540 now we've got 44 four-star generals for instance what the hell are they doing we have a force of

00:40:13.020 a little bit over 1.1 million strewn all over the world that's crazy and we have 44 four stars during

00:40:20.300 world war ii when we had 12.2 million men under arms at the height of that war we had seven four stars

00:40:28.940 now towards the end of the war the last six months we began promoting people to four and five stars but

00:40:33.980 those were honorifics i'm talking about operationally during the conduct of the war to win it we had

00:40:40.220 seven four stars for 12.2 million people now what are we doing with 44 for 1.1 million steve it's absurd

00:40:49.260 it's a banana republic and every four star thinks he's god's gift every four star thinks that his

00:40:55.020 headquarters deserves everything he can get everyone is out there building empires and trying to drag us

00:41:00.780 into crises and conflicts that they think will enhance them this whole global hegemonic structure

00:41:08.940 needs to come down it needs to come down very very quickly so he's got to get rid of most of those

00:41:14.460 slots and then put temporaries in there until we restructure the whole thing we've got to restructure

00:41:19.900 the regional unified commands the functional commands we have too many we need to consolidate we need to

00:41:24.780 become efficient as well as effective and we're not those things have to come next and we've also got

00:41:32.140 enormous numbers of people in the senior executive services civilians that get in there and they stay

00:41:37.500 for years and years and years you can't get rid of them uh it's a huge problem in in the department of

00:41:43.660 defense i i think all of these things have to be taken on and those are just the first two things now

00:41:50.460 what's the third thing for for the president his biggest challenge right now is something nobody is

00:41:56.700 willing to talk about publicly it's called national cohesion our country has lost its sense of itself

00:42:03.420 he's got to end this systematic denationalization of america destroying our past our history our

00:42:10.460 traditions our customs monuments you name it all of that has got to stop we have to end the denationalization

00:42:18.940 we have to forge a new cohesive society there are a lot of measures that have to be taken to do

00:42:25.100 that and part of part of it is economic but a large part of it is simply coming to terms with reality

00:42:31.340 that we've been dealing with people in charge of us who hate us hate our country hate everything

00:42:37.020 we represent it's got to stop

00:42:38.860 in in this um can you give me some specifics on this last this is quite fascinating that the

00:42:49.580 denationalization the uh the national cohesion what would be your recommendation what are the

00:42:54.540 first two or three things that even optically that uh president trump should do in his first

00:43:00.140 hundred days on this third item well you've got to get rid of this diversity inclusion equity nonsense 0.98

00:43:06.300 because all that does is drive division inside the armed forces and across the board you've got to

00:43:13.340 go back to a merit-based selection process you have to insist that character competence and intelligence be

00:43:20.300 rewarded put an end to this nonsense of you get to do something because you are of this gender you are of 0.96

00:43:28.140 this race you are of this ethnicity you are culturally this that's all got to go away we have to become 1.00

00:43:34.700 americans you have to restore this notion of being an american what is an american it's time for us to

00:43:40.780 redefine it we've got to redefine ourselves at home as well as in the world we are not made greater by

00:43:46.620 bombing hapless opponents overseas and meddling in other people's affairs it doesn't make us great

00:43:51.660 it weakens us that's how we've lost the leadership of the world nobody trusts us anymore so we've got to

00:43:56.940 get back to a a different view a different version of what we want uh america to be and that has to be

00:44:04.140 something that makes every american feel secure and comfortable that's not easy but it has to be based on

00:44:11.740 demonstrated merit if you're going to advance people you can't advance them for any other reason

00:44:17.020 the whole country was founded on the assumption that you can be whatever you resolve to be

00:44:22.380 do you believe that or not if you believe it then it has to be based on merit

00:44:31.180 colonel uh we we're limited with time and i want to make sure people understand our country our

00:44:36.060 choice walk us through of every all the opportunities you had i know people come to you for advice and

00:44:40.460 consulting and and media hits and all that but why did you why did you choose this what's in back of it

00:44:46.540 what's your inspiration and what are you trying to accomplish well i think the first point is that

00:44:52.220 i did not found this organization this organization was founded by a group of people who are very

00:44:57.820 worried about the country's societal cohesion worried that we will not survive that this experiment

00:45:04.860 called the great american republic could be destroyed for all of the reasons that you and i have been

00:45:10.060 discussing here today and they said we're going to found this organization try to get it across to

00:45:15.820 people that they do have a choice we're going to try and identify people across party lines who have

00:45:21.900 a commonality of interest based on specific issues can can everyone agree that child trafficking needs

00:45:28.860 to stop can everyone agree that the sexualization of our children needs to end can everyone agree that

00:45:34.620 our borders need to be protected that the rule of law needs to be re-established that anyone who commits

00:45:41.420 crimes has to be punished that judges who release criminals into the population deliberately should

00:45:47.820 be removed from office and end these lifetime appointments for judges these are the kinds of

00:45:53.180 things that we talk about should we stop intervening in other people's countries with the purpose of

00:45:58.380 transforming them into something they don't want to become yes we should so what do we want to do as

00:46:04.540 a nation those are the kinds of things that we're talking about now we do not endorse any any

00:46:10.780 candidate for office but we want people to come to us if they need a platform and they share those

00:46:17.580 views that i just outlined we don't care if they're republicans or democrats or independents we want to

00:46:22.300 help them and that's one of the reasons that we've been working hand in glove with one truth media which

00:46:27.900 is the parent company to build this platform called republic we want everybody to be able to get on that

00:46:33.980 thing and have the tools the ability to express their views share their views across the country without

00:46:40.460 censorship to take action to contact people in power as an individual or as groups and to share

00:46:47.420 information with the multitude of organizations that are out there that want to do good things

00:46:52.620 for the united states so i said fine i'm on i'll do everything i can and i've been doing the best that

00:46:58.940 i can to get people's attention and bring them in and i think this platform is going to unite us in ways

00:47:05.100 that i think we desperately need because what we really need right now to survive or something

00:47:11.260 similar to the committees of correspondence that we had during the american revolution but we we can't

00:47:18.540 bring everybody into a room we can't summon everyone to philadelphia for a for a declaration of

00:47:24.060 independence but we can unite across the country electronically in cyberspace and i think this

00:47:31.660 platform is a is a good way to do it and i i hope it'll be successful i think it will i think it's

00:47:37.660 going to revolutionize the way we do business but i don't claim to be an it expert you probably know

00:47:43.260 more about that than i do steve no no no i'm just so where do you want people to go and i want to know

00:47:49.420 about your social media any podcast books writing people want to know more about colonel mcgregor and

00:47:55.180 your thinking uh well my books are easily found you can put my name in colonel douglas mcgregor and

00:48:01.900 you'll find out what i've been writing in the essays that i publish i do write fairly regularly for the

00:48:07.260 american conservative but i do as you point out a lot of videos for our country our choice so if you go to

00:48:14.140 our country our choice dot com i think you're going to find a lot of information there that you will

00:48:19.340 like and i keep trying to tell people you know we want people that can come to an arrangement where

00:48:26.540 they can agree with each other 75 to 80 of the time and if they can do that let's forget those

00:48:32.460 things that divide us focus on those things that unite us then we can have an impact and numbers do

00:48:38.380 count people in washington though they are obviously very very very mindful of their donors washington

00:48:45.260 as donor-occupied territory they still do pay attention to numbers and if large numbers of

00:48:51.180 their constituents signal that they're unhappy and don't like what's happening or discontented with

00:48:56.860 the policies that they're supporting they will pay attention and it's our best hope to get change going
