Transcript
00:00:12.780
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:18.000
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:25.600
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:29.380
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:34.300
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:39.740
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:43.500
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:01:02.320
It's Natalie Winters hosting today, Wednesday, January 15th in the year of our Lord, 2025.
00:01:09.420
It's the day that Joe Biden put out his farewell letter.
00:01:15.640
Not that there's much to dive into in terms of truths or actual substantiated claims.
00:01:20.780
Like they've been doing from the get-go, I guess it was the origin of this regime, gaslighting
00:01:26.180
you that they actually won, gaslighting you that they were actually capable and competent.
00:01:31.560
Now I guess we know Joe Biden was never actually really running the show.
00:01:38.280
But it's funny because you read his farewell letter, the thousands of words about every
00:01:45.260
Did you know they accelerated the most rapid green energy transition?
00:01:50.260
Now they never tell you what the demonstrable benefit to humanity is in any of that or how
00:01:55.100
becoming super climate change friendly helps anyone anywhere.
00:01:59.400
I'd ask California how they're faring with regard to all that.
00:02:05.840
I was hosting this show when my house was in a mandatory evacuation zone.
00:02:21.100
But it's more than the DEI and the wokeness, right?
00:02:23.720
It's a depraved mentality that hates this country and wants to strip away from you every single
00:02:29.860
ounce of meaning for it to mean something to be an American citizen.
00:02:33.200
And I think the avenue whereby you see that on full display is disaster response.
00:02:40.640
And no, Joe Biden and the Bushes and the Clintons and the Careys, I'm not talking about the disaster
00:02:46.040
that is what some sand nation in the Middle East lacking democracy.
00:02:50.860
Ergo, we must send what thousands of young Americans to die and shed their lives and change
00:02:59.120
We can only a few decades later withdraw and create more casualties and chaos.
00:03:03.980
Though, by the way, Joe Biden euphemized the Afghanistan withdrawal as his regime, quote,
00:03:12.660
That's the level of gaslighting and depravity that we're dealing with.
00:03:18.600
Get used to writing letters, Joe Biden, because you should be writing them from prison, I think
00:03:26.400
probably most poignantly, for your response, or I should say lack of response, emphasis
00:03:30.820
on lack, in response to these hurricanes in North Carolina and Tennessee.
00:03:37.720
Ben Burkwam was on the show this morning exposing, I'm sure what they'll say is spreading
00:03:45.160
A true conspiracy theorist to your core, they'll victim blame you, right?
00:03:49.600
It's your fault for exposing this, not their fault, for having probably a disaster response
00:03:54.740
that is on par, if not worse, than the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, especially in North
00:03:59.620
But Ben, you have some on-the-ground reporting.
00:04:01.300
I know you have some aid groups and people who are trying to pick up the slack, step in,
00:04:04.980
stand in the line, really stand in the breach for Joe Biden and what his administration
00:04:11.020
So if you can sort of give us an update, a summary of where you are, what you're doing,
00:04:15.000
and I'll let you sort of introduce the guests that you've gathered for us to talk to.
00:04:23.380
Just left, I was down there, spent the last two days, we're doing this, Road to the Inauguration,
00:04:27.660
talking about the despair of the last four years and the dismal failure of the last four years
00:04:36.360
And it's seen nowhere better than what I saw over the last two days in Asheville, North
00:04:42.300
Carolina, in Waynesville, North Carolina, and just now earlier today in Tennessee.
00:04:49.800
It's just absolutely unbelievable what this administration, so-called administration, has
00:04:57.880
Now, I just came up from my friends, Tyler and Misty, they're on with us right now, they're
00:05:03.100
with the Appalachian United Initiative, and I just came up from there.
00:05:07.420
I was down there with Tyler, and we were shooting some drone footage.
00:05:10.960
This is just down the way from their shop in Irwin, Tennessee, and this is what it looks
00:05:18.000
This is footage shot from drone footage today of the cleanup effort that's now finally underway.
00:05:24.820
It's just barely getting started with backhoes and beginning the cleanup work.
00:05:32.220
This is one area of hundreds of miles of river destroyed by this hurricane, lives destroyed,
00:05:40.000
businesses destroyed, thousands of people still missing, dead, presumed dead, while they're
00:05:45.260
still coming out with insane numbers, like 200 total dead.
00:05:51.700
They're not even, you know, I stopped with Tyler and we talked to one of the crews, and
00:05:56.300
he admitted, we didn't put him on camera for his own protection, but he admitted they're
00:06:04.740
This is the level of response from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and this administration, and
00:06:09.700
it's why it's so critical that President Trump won that election and that we get the real
00:06:14.320
Now, the people that you see on the screen with us, the people that are joining us tonight,
00:06:22.100
It's people in their own communities who said, the county's not doing it.
00:06:28.100
The federal government sure as hell ain't doing it.
00:06:40.340
Small business owner, running his own business, doing the best he can to run a business, be
00:06:46.960
productive in the community, love his family, and then this happens.
00:06:52.440
We've also got James and Mandy down there at Haven on the Hill.
00:06:59.840
They basically, James took his property and opened it up to hundreds of people because
00:07:07.280
And then we've got Jason Seidel as well, doing incredible work with housing and development
00:07:14.580
of housing and helping people get back into homes.
00:07:16.900
Again, the moral of the story, because the federal government has failed them.
00:07:21.460
And Natalie, I just want to hand it off to Tyler and let them tell their story or however
00:07:53.260
So if you guys will just take it, just tell us your story.
00:07:56.280
Again, what you guys are dealing with, the level of response and what you guys are doing
00:07:59.900
and really what you guys need, the whole point of this is to talk about what you guys need
00:08:04.560
so when President Trump gets into office next Monday, we can actually get some help
00:08:10.640
Yeah, I think probably if we're just going to focus on kind of what we've done and what
00:08:15.240
we need, I think what we've done is allow for the community to be able to have resources.
00:08:34.220
So overall, what we've basically been trying to do since day one is just be a resource for
00:08:39.140
the community to have a place to be able to get what they need.
00:08:42.260
So whether that's supplies, whether that's housing, whether that's power, whether that's
00:08:50.020
We've been trying to cover the gap across the board for what the community actually
00:08:55.180
What we need going forward is for the government to come in and actually assess the area and
00:09:03.300
What we need is for transportation to be returned back to the community so that they can stand
00:09:10.100
We need housing to be able to allow these families to be able to return back to home and remove
00:09:15.620
themselves from being reduced down to tents and campers.
00:09:19.140
And we need to be able to have the permits and the septic inspections and all of those
00:09:26.100
After they completed their inspections, they've not followed back up with the people.
00:09:30.880
We need these organizations to pick up where they should be and allow these people to get
00:09:35.120
into temporary housing or housing until they can get back coal again.
00:09:38.640
We need the funding and we need the hands on the ground to be able to help us do this.
00:09:44.480
It costs a lot of money to keep the equipment going, to clear the debris.
00:09:47.640
When you've got mom and pops doing that, you've got individual organizations doing that.
00:09:53.440
We only have so many resources and we need the additional support to come in and rebuild
00:09:57.600
the infrastructure, to come in and rebuild, you know, to clear the debris out, to get
00:10:02.080
the neighborhoods ready to be able to have housing back in them again, to be able to give
00:10:07.100
us the permits that we need to be able to get the housing back again.
00:10:10.100
All of those things are vital in order to restoring this area, in order to getting these people
00:10:17.780
Basically, we need the federal government to do their job to get off their asses and do
00:10:23.160
something about it and send funding down here and help these people because nobody's helping
00:10:30.060
us except people like us and organizations and churches and mom and pop individuals that,
00:10:36.860
you know, they're not supposed to be doing storm cleanup.
00:10:44.280
That's supposed to be, you know, what our government's for, what our tax dollars are for, but that's
00:10:54.800
When you see these, you know, huge sums of money, we're talking hundreds of billions of
00:10:59.720
dollars going to foreign countries, primarily, you know, Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, or even
00:11:05.680
the Joe Biden having the nerve in his farewell letter to talk about all the wonderful disaster
00:11:10.020
response that they've carried out, everything that they've done on the climate change and
00:11:15.800
When you're sitting there just asking for the most basic resources, what's your message
00:11:26.680
Take care of your own people, your own American citizens, your taxpayers, your veterans, everyone
00:11:31.920
that lives in America that deserves to be taken care of.
00:11:35.940
We don't need to be taken care of other countries.
00:11:41.320
I think there should be a priority and a standard.
00:11:43.960
Yes, other countries do need assistance, and we, you know, pray for them and our hearts
00:11:51.740
We have to be able to take care of our own country and our own people.
00:11:54.580
We have to start at our backyard with our next door neighbor, the person next to us.
00:11:58.200
And we have to be able to make our own self whole before we can go and help anybody else.
00:12:03.360
It's the time old, like, saying, like, you can't pour from an empty cup.
00:12:06.800
We've got to be able to help our own self first before we go reaching out and putting
00:12:10.720
our nose in other people's business and enabling them to not help themselves.
00:12:14.460
We have to be able to help our own people first.
00:12:25.220
If they would just take the money that they're spending on all these illegal immigrants,
00:12:29.900
giving them thousands of dollars a month to live in five-star hotels, if they would just
00:12:35.180
take that money and send it down here to help the people that live here that are from America
00:12:41.020
and take care of us, we could still help other countries.
00:12:45.740
He needs to get rid of them just like he said he was going to do.
00:12:51.060
If we'll get rid of all that, the money will be there.
00:12:57.420
The media says that American people don't support.
00:13:05.220
And yet the same people that paid tax dollars for FEMA support are the same ones taken out
00:13:13.300
OK, so our audience certainly wants to help you guys out and support you in a way that
00:13:22.760
If people want to support your efforts, keep up to date with your relief efforts, where can
00:13:32.140
They can go directly to our website to make any donations.
00:13:38.380
That you can also go to Facebook for the Appalachian United Initiative Facebook page and keep up
00:13:46.240
Our location is 901 North Main Avenue in Irwin, Tennessee, 37650.
00:13:52.000
You're welcome to come volunteer with us, lend a hand, send a donation, come be boots on
00:13:58.700
You know, whatever, we would accept any support or help that we can get.
00:14:07.920
Thank you for doing the just imperative work that you all are doing.
00:14:11.020
Truly, it's an honor to have had you guys on the war room.
00:14:13.520
I'm sure we will be seeing you soon again, but I hope it's under much better pretenses
00:14:18.900
where it's because our own government is actually helping you guys out and you're not stranded
00:14:23.620
out there alone while Ukrainian oligarchs are partying on their brand new yachts.
00:14:35.960
Now, Ben, this is a little bit of production on the fly.
00:14:39.760
So the entity, the group, you guys that were introduced after the wonderful group that
00:14:43.980
we just spoke to, I'd love if we could toss to you guys and sort of explain what you guys
00:14:50.680
And in your, I won't get too ahead of myself, but I'm sure since you're on this show, how
00:14:54.700
you feel that the federal government, their response has failed you guys and failed your
00:14:59.900
community and what areas, the contours that you're really looking to flush out under President
00:15:05.560
Yeah, sorry for speaking over earlier, but James and Mandy, go ahead.
00:15:15.340
We met with FEMA today and like I said earlier, that's another 30 minutes of my life.
00:15:21.400
But, and they left, they have so many, oh yeah, they left abruptly.
00:15:26.220
But, they're saying, I was asking them point blank about the people getting kicked out of
00:15:35.060
And they were trying to explain us the rhetoric of, we do two week evaluations and we do this.
00:15:42.020
If the people need room, they need a roof over their head.
00:15:44.900
And they just stand there and smile and make excuses.
00:15:52.060
And then I tolerated them a little bit before they left abruptly.
00:16:03.600
Seem like we're having some connection difficulties.
00:16:09.380
In the meantime, maybe we can bring on the third, certainly last, but not least, of the
00:16:15.700
heroes, the patriots that are stepping in and filling in for the failure of a president
00:16:21.840
And Ben, if you can sort of segue where it may be where they left off how you feel, like
00:16:27.060
I said, I won't get ahead of myself, but failed by the White House where you really need help
00:16:32.980
wherever you may be, sir, in this great country.
00:16:39.400
So that was Mandy and James of the Haven on the Hill.
00:16:42.960
And guys, if you want more information about what they're doing, incredible work.
00:16:51.240
If we can get them back up, I'd love to have them finish telling that story.
00:16:54.200
But everywhere I went, what's crazy about this, Natalie, is everywhere I went, everywhere,
00:17:07.640
If you guys can hear me, we'll toss back to you.
00:17:10.900
We have Patricia Tinsley with James and I here with us, and she'll finish her story.
00:17:16.200
Not sure where it left off, but I met James when we named it Haven on the Hill.
00:17:23.560
Our small house community is going to be called Haven Shire, which is very promising and precious
00:17:28.640
But right now, we have a lot of foundations that want to help us, and we have to pivot
00:17:33.140
because we never know what's going to happen with FEMA.
00:17:35.040
We don't know what's happening with people in hotels.
00:17:37.360
We thought we could catch our breath and get regular supplies, get food for our chef,
00:17:42.820
But then with the hotel vouchers running out quickly and the phone calls are coming into
00:17:46.960
us, like the Ashley DeRamus Foundation out of Birmingham, Alabama, they've given us
00:17:53.640
They were going to bring me a casual load on Friday, and we had to change that to all
00:17:58.200
hands on deck emergency load on Friday of 40 cots and hot tents and things to support
00:18:06.620
So we can't slow down to get the more casual items like 50-pound bags of rice and things
00:18:12.220
like that because we are still getting people out of their cars, out of tents, and now we're
00:18:16.960
going to have to help transport them from hotels.
00:18:19.540
And the not knowing for them must be stressful, but it is certainly stressful for us to not
00:18:24.840
And we couldn't get any answers from FEMA today with certainty.
00:18:27.900
No, they stood there and smiled and made excuses.
00:18:30.680
And they did have an emergency and had to leave, so we didn't get to wrap up.
00:18:33.560
We did try to ask them in the situation, you know, when we were having our conversation,
00:18:41.200
we asked them, you know, as providers, as people who are looking out for other people's
00:18:46.560
welfare, like Patricia said, the stress and the trauma, even just on a provider, you know,
00:19:03.380
Because every time we're in a 24-hour countdown, what are you going to do?
00:19:17.400
Maybe we only have 30 bags, but it's going to be six degrees on Monday.
00:19:20.520
And we even asked the FEMA people if they would send somebody out.
00:19:33.160
We asked the FEMA reps if they would send someone out and spend the night in an RV.
00:19:38.220
And deal with what the people are dealing with.
00:19:46.480
But I was going to tell them, we give them a really good warm RV.
00:19:54.400
We would put them in as we do for everyone that we help and all the souls that we are responsible for.
00:20:03.540
That's like putting them in a hot tent during the end of.
00:20:09.140
We got called for not an emergency, but, you know, a situation at camp.
00:20:14.200
And so we diverted, you know, some of the people talking to them.
00:20:17.640
But there were still two people left talking to them.
00:20:19.860
And they literally just said, you know, we have another call and it's kind of an emergency.
00:20:26.760
So if our audience wants to stay up to date with everything that you guys are doing, find out more about your relief efforts, support them.
00:20:41.520
We will be posting in the bio of that Facebook page a very specific Amazon list for specific needs for Haven on the Hill.
00:20:57.640
That link will be on or is on the Haven on the Hill page.
00:21:01.180
And if anyone has any questions, I will be answering those questions or getting them answers from Patricia and James and Leslie.
00:21:18.600
But, you know, if anyone has any questions, reach out.
00:21:37.160
Tomorrow I'm going to spend time trying to get the local colleges to send us some interns.
00:21:43.900
It's too hard to beg for volunteers on the day of they don't show.
00:21:50.040
And if we could get, you know, anyone from military, Army, anything that could just know every Monday, every second Monday, if we can start to get good volunteers that way, we could really get better with infrastructure.
00:22:04.040
Thank you guys for everything that you're doing.
00:23:21.400
I'll let you see the people that aren't being served by anybody but people like myself and the other amazing people that have been on the show.
00:23:29.160
Everything that they want to claim is propaganda, is misinformation.
00:23:40.560
Because all they're doing is posturing to their own political wants and gains.
00:23:54.280
I mean the American people are losing because their priorities are not in sight.
00:23:58.560
All they care about is their own gain, their own emotions, and they don't care about us.
00:24:06.940
Stand next to me while I'm giving ladies that are supposed to be supporting and giving meals on wheels to their old folks in our community that no longer have anywhere to provide the meals because FEMA has taken over their office.
00:24:30.380
You can see the people who are being denied by FEMA every single day.
00:24:38.580
And if our audience wants to come and volunteer with you or support with you, or, hey, we know MSNBC watches the war room.
00:24:46.720
The name of your organization, where people can go to help you out, sir.
00:24:57.980
So when you go to Project Your Home, if you want to download the app, if you're anywhere in the United States,
00:25:02.520
but especially in hurricane-affected areas, we've got all the resources from mental health to your ability to volunteer.
00:25:17.580
We can link you up with other places to volunteer, any of the resources that you might need to get you taken care of during this situation.
00:25:24.880
Thank you so much for joining us, and thank you, I know, from the bottom of the hearts of our audience for the work that you're doing to help the forgotten Americans.
00:25:37.440
And, Ben Burquam, thank you again for always putting yourself on the front lines of danger.
00:25:42.500
It's more or less dangerous than the southern border.
00:25:46.440
But real quick, Ben, if people want to follow you, support everything that you're doing, always on the front lines.
00:25:51.040
Truly amazing investigative reporting and work that we can only describe as misinformation.
00:26:01.940
I'm going to be releasing it over the next few days at Ben Burquam.
00:26:05.420
And then, of course, America's Voice News, America's Voice.News.
00:26:08.560
And then I will actually, this road trip continues.
00:26:13.000
We're heading to the ARC Encounter tomorrow, taking the family there.
00:26:15.780
Going to be hitting up Cincinnati in the morning, seeing the illegals there.
00:26:19.040
Going to be finishing up on Friday in East Palestine again with folks there that are still abandoned by this government.
00:26:26.460
I'll be posting all of that on social media along the way as well.
00:26:37.160
And War Room Posse, we've got some wonderful guests for the next block.
00:26:40.880
But in the meantime, it's nationalpolis.com slash war room, sacred human health, grass-fed beef liver.
00:26:54.460
Speaking of props, you've got to get rebels, rogues, and outlaws.
00:27:13.260
Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.
00:27:16.740
One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.
00:27:24.340
We're just printing money to keep this house of cards going.
00:27:35.760
So many things are out of your control, out of the president's control.

00:28:35.700
The piles of overdue bills, the threatening phone calls, and never having money to do anything.

Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans,
00:29:54.720
all the while eroding the future of the American dream?
00:29:58.360
Companies like Starbucks, Strong Army Customers, to support abortion.
00:30:02.800
Or PayPal, canceling accounts over political views.
00:30:06.400
Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:30:09.900
And Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer.
00:30:16.820
But thanks to Public Square, you don't have to fund companies like this any longer.
00:30:21.580
Public Square connects you to tens of thousands of businesses that share your value for life,
00:30:27.240

00:30:33.040
shop for clean skin care, or just find a restaurant in your community that won't lecture you about your political views.

00:31:29.680
There's always breaking news, especially as we barrel towards January 20th.
00:31:34.680
It's the real ceasefire on the American people from the Biden regime with all the weaponized lawfare and prison sentences
00:31:41.960
and everything that they've thrown against us yet.
00:31:44.740
But, I don't know, somehow we've managed to persevere and actually thrive.
00:31:55.440
Just like Mark Zuckerberg did when the censors called him up and cussed at him.
00:32:06.100
Mike Turner, I think probably Zelensky's favorite congressional Republican,
00:32:11.480
maybe Mike Rogers of Alabama is a close second.
00:32:15.120
He is truly, I think, one of the largest, staunchest defenders of Ukraine.
00:32:21.400
He probably has, like, a Ukraine flag tattooed on him.
00:32:23.920
But he has been removed by, I believe, Speaker Johnson as the chair of House Intel.
00:32:30.880
We're going to get into the ceasefire hostage stuff going on, breaking down the Middle East, too.
00:32:34.260
But before we get to that, Colonel Derek Harvey joins us, who sort of comes from that world.
00:32:41.040
If you can sort of walk us through the significance of this and why it really is,
00:32:45.780
I think, as Steve said on Getter, the Trump effect in the intel community.
00:32:49.400
Well, Mike Turner is the House Intelligence Chairman, or was, and I worked with him when
00:32:56.040
he was a member, and I worked under Devin Nunes.
00:32:59.220
Mike Turner has prided himself on being, you know, a friend of Ukraine and of Europe,
00:33:10.400
But more than that, he loves to party and dine and socialize at the Aspen Institute and
00:33:18.420
the Munich Security Conference and the Halifax Conference in Canada.
00:33:23.080
And he is much more aligned with the Democrat left on global issues, with the global elite.
00:33:31.220
He is absolutely not MAGA, and he was not doing oversight.
00:33:39.020
He cozied up with, you know, the Democrat leadership.
00:33:42.900
He voted against FISA reform and actually worked very hard to prevent any real reforms.
00:33:51.520
And then he was boasting about his ability to put people into the incoming administration
00:33:57.160
and how he was going to shape things and keep Trump from getting progress in reforming the IC.
00:34:08.120
And, Derek, I want to pivot to the other breaking news, I believe, and true and active,
00:34:16.040
The State Department and their presser today, they were even forced to admit that envoy Stephen
00:34:20.920
Wyckoff and just President Trump in general, his presence sort of contributed to this hostage
00:34:26.600
release, I believe it was around two dozen, three dozen, in addition to the ceasefire.
00:34:31.580
Can you sort of walk us through the contours of this deal?
00:34:35.060
Is President Trump right to be taking credit for it?
00:34:37.780
Well, clearly, Mr. Wyckoff, as the special envoy for the Middle East for President Trump,
00:34:44.520
the incoming administration, was in communications and having meetings with, you know, Qatari officials.
00:34:50.000
And he spoke very fondly of the Qatari's effort in this regard.
00:34:56.440
The deal was being worked very hard by the Biden administration.
00:35:01.320
And I think the Trump administration's pressure on the parties got it over the line.
00:35:07.580
But the deal itself is questionable as to whether or not, you know, if it's implemented completely,
00:35:16.540
Because, you know, at the end of the day, if you keep Hamas in power and they're able to rebuild
00:35:21.740
with the support of the United Nations, one of their allies, the World Health Organization,
00:35:27.320
some of the European states, and the money from Qatar and Turkey, it's a big win for Hamas.
00:35:35.500
Now, Mike Waltz, the incoming national security advisor, has clearly said that at the end of the day,
00:35:47.860
But there's, you know, definitely the first phase, an exchange of hostages is important.
00:35:52.340
A thousand terrorists, criminals from the Palestinian cause, in exchange for less than a hundred bodies
00:36:06.640
And the vulnerability or the Achilles heel of the Israelis in this war, in all wars,
00:36:16.540
And Hamas and Islamic Jihad and ISIS and these other groups do not.
00:36:22.520
So they're willing to sacrifice a lot to get their people back.
00:36:29.780
Colonel Harvey, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with your analysis on all of this,
00:36:39.020
Well, I like True Social, so I'm just Derek Harvey, D-E-R-E-K-H-A-R-V-E-Y, on True Social.
00:36:56.580
Colonel Harvey, thank you so much for joining us.
00:36:58.980
Always an honor to have you here in the War Room.
00:37:09.020
In War Room Posse, you've got to be checking out RickardsWarRoom.com, the new book.
00:37:18.440
Very few people Steve has on to talk all things finance and money, but he is one of them.
00:37:25.500
Paradigm Press, while you're at it, maybe go check out PatriotMobile.com.
00:37:33.240
You know, you've got to get off those horrible cell phone and telecom providers that hate you
00:37:38.240
and are using your money to fund stuff that you probably don't even want to know about.
00:37:43.040
We are joined now by, I think, the first time I've ever had him on as a guest, a friend of mine, a friend of the show, the one and only Rainer Jackson.
00:37:51.980
Rainer, I wanted to have you on, obviously, the H-1B debate over what does it mean to be an American citizen?
00:37:57.700
Or, as Steve says, a legacy American, rages on, despite the tech bros' best efforts to sort of gloss over it.
00:38:03.980
But in the war room, we really did a deep dive into the data, the number, the statistics, showing how I think it's like half of Americans who receive STEM degrees
00:38:11.800
will never actually work in STEM because they're being prioritized, or rather foreigners are being prioritized over domestic workers.
00:38:19.140
The people that they're importing are actually not the best and brightest, and the idea, the sort of, you know, false flag idea that we need to import foreigners
00:38:27.120
really isn't rooted in anything substantive or reality-based, but rather just, you know, lobbyists and profit margins for big companies.
00:38:34.620
I'm curious how you think that issue sort of intersects with something that you have always advocated for,
00:38:40.500
which is building and bolstering the kind of black entrepreneurial spirit and black entrepreneurial class.
00:38:46.440
How do you think that this sort of mass open borders, both through legal and illegal immigration,
00:38:54.520
how do you think President Trump needs to approach those issues come January 20th to help the black community
00:39:00.880
continue to sort of see the MAGA light at the end of the tunnel?
00:39:04.800
Well, thank you, Natalie. It's always good to be on with you.
00:39:08.080
I tell you, you've been kind of hot today. I mean, I've been slipping in and out since this morning,
00:39:12.940
and you've been kind of hot tonight, I tell you.
00:39:15.960
So somebody must have gotten under your skin today, because you've been firing on all syllables today.
00:39:23.440
But yeah, Natalie, this whole notion about America and American businesses needing foreign labor, that's bullcrap.
00:39:34.740
We have more than enough American talent to supply the job market for anything we need,
00:39:40.880
especially in the area of STEM. Natalie, at our event last month that Steve spoke at our luncheon,
00:39:49.620
we had some of the biggest black-owned IT companies in the U.S.
00:39:53.840
I mean, some of these guys are doing north of 100, 200 million a year, and they have a pipeline of blacks.
00:40:01.100
They have a pipeline into the historically black colleges where they have identified Cali coming through the pipeline.
00:40:08.840
So this whole notion of Elon Musk and all the Silicon Valley companies,
00:40:13.540
they want cheap labor, even if it's a national security threat, to be American national security.
00:40:22.320
So Natalie, I'm hoping on January 20th, the president would just shut down this H-1B visa,
00:40:28.320
or at least put a temporary halt so we can weave through this stuff.
00:40:35.280
And they obviously try to couch this debate in terms of saying people who oppose the H-1Bs,
00:40:42.800
it's rooted in racism or nativism or xenophobia.
00:40:46.480
I would say it's sort of the natural reaction when your country's been inundated and flooded
00:40:50.980
with a bunch of foreigners from cultures that don't have a lot of similarities with your own
00:40:55.160
to probably be a little averse to, you know, importing the people who are going to take your jobs
00:40:59.900
that you're going to be forced to train their replacements for.
00:41:02.980
But I'm just curious your thoughts on just sort of the framing of this debate,
00:41:08.580
because I do think it sort of undergirds the theory that we have here in the war room,
00:41:12.240
which is that the elites, however you want to couch it,
00:41:14.700
they have always tried to orient this discussion through the lens of the ad hominem attacks,
00:41:23.400
Because in reality, just like you saw in November of last year,
00:41:28.260
when you can reorient the political discussion in terms of working class
00:41:32.060
versus the ruling class, it doesn't really bode all that well for the ruling class,
00:41:36.600
and in this case, the Democratic establishment.
00:41:38.940
I'm just curious your thoughts on sort of the framing of this debate from the cultural perspective.
00:41:44.640
Well, yeah, they know they're on the wrong side on the substance of this issue, Natalie.
00:41:50.460
So when you can't win on the substantive argument, come up with all these red herrings.
00:41:59.220
What about, Natalie, this weird thought of actually putting Americans first,
00:42:06.420
We want to do every policy we can come up with that's going to be beneficial to America.
00:42:12.700
Not the elites, Natalie, but the rank and file of America.
00:42:17.480
And here's the beauty about technology and STEM, Natalie.
00:42:21.140
Number one, you don't necessarily need a college degree to get a six-figure paying job in IT.
00:42:28.500
You can drop out of high school because a lot of kids who are 12, 13, 14,
00:42:34.340
they are good at coding and they know how to design websites and things like that, Natalie.
00:42:39.280
So this is a way for the elite across the board for them to lose control over the masses of the people.
00:42:52.400
And when they see that there's a shortage of American workers or a talented labor pool,
00:42:56.960
to fix that, sort of getting into the Vivek critique of American culture,
00:43:00.880
you're saying that in your experience, your lived reality, there's not a shortage.
00:43:05.920
It's just that they're overlooking qualified American candidates in favor of better profit margins.
00:43:12.160
Do you think that that theory of the case is valid and accurate?
00:43:17.760
And then the other part is, again, why would you hire an American engineer at $150,000 a year
00:43:24.700
when you can get an Indian H-1B cardholder at $40,000 or $50,000 a year?
00:43:30.440
And that immigrant knows, Natalie, if they cause any trouble, that employer has their visa in their hand.
00:43:38.740
So they have a control mechanism over an immigrant that they wouldn't have over an American citizen as far as rights.
00:43:54.480
I know you had been talking with our producers that you had sort of a new vision,
00:44:00.100
a conservative vision for civil rights for the 21st century,
00:44:02.960
and how you think President Trump is going to be able to deliver a victory on that front.
00:44:07.160
We'll have you back on, but just give us sort of the minute pitch on why you think President Trump is the man
00:44:11.800
who can do that for you guys and what he needs to do for that.
00:44:14.680
Well, no question. Today is Martin Luther King's actual birthday.
00:44:19.400
It's celebrated on the third Monday of every month, which would be Inauguration Day.
00:44:24.100
So Steve and I were talking, and we knew we wouldn't have time to bring me on on Inauguration Day.
00:44:31.080
But Donald Trump can be a transformative president on the issue of civil rights.
00:44:38.560
And the reason he can do that is because Donald Trump is a very pragmatic, practical guy.
00:44:45.540
He wants to create opportunities based on talent and skill set, not based on race.
00:44:51.240
That was King's last step of the civil rights movement before he was killed in Memphis,
00:44:56.260
speaking to the sanitation workers, was economic empowerment.
00:45:00.420
And that's what this Trump administration, I think that's their sweet spot is getting the economy humming,
00:45:08.420
regardless of your race, creed, or color, and that will benefit all Americans.
00:45:13.240
And I think Trump and Natalie, he pulled together the most diverse coalition last November in the history of presidential politics.
00:45:21.720
And I think economic policy is going to solidify that place in history for Donald Trump.
00:45:27.640
So Raynard Jackson, always an honor to have you here in the war room.
00:45:33.560
If people want to follow you, get in contact with you, reach out, stay up to date with everything you're working on,
00:45:42.660
All my social media is Raynard Jackson, Facebook, Getter, Instagram, all that.
00:46:06.980
We are joined now by Trevor, I believe, from Sacred Human Health.
00:46:24.140
But you guys have always sort of been ahead of the curve on all things health and wellness.
00:46:29.620
If you have any special deals for us, I know the audience loves the beef liver, but you
00:46:34.820
So hit us with the latest that you guys are working on.
00:46:37.880
Well, it's funny you mentioned that because that was the first thing I wanted to mention
00:46:40.920
in case anyone missed it, is that it's definitely a big win for the Maha movement.
00:46:44.720
Food dye red three was banned, which is contained in many, you know, grocery store products and
00:46:51.080
supplements, mainly because it has a correlation to cancer concerns.
00:46:55.440
And I know that may scare some people, but, you know, that's just kind of the way it goes
00:47:00.220
with our current status of food and nutrition in the U.S., but hopefully that'll be changing
00:47:06.500
But also it's something, you know, that I've always talked about and I try to be vocal
00:47:09.780
about, which is, you know, being careful with the types of products that you purchase
00:47:15.600
And at least at Sacred Human, you know, we kind of saw that from the get-go in terms of
00:47:21.720
And in turn, we launched our product line really just trying to provide the natural supplements
00:47:28.860
So, you know, of course, what we have seen throughout the industry is that many of these bigger
00:47:32.120
corporations will include the ingredients like the red dye three, as well as like binders,
00:47:37.400
artificial additives and other preservatives that just aren't healthy for human consumption.
00:47:42.300
But they do things like cut costs and extend the shelf life.
00:47:46.500
So, again, with Sacred Human, we're trying to provide you all the supplements with none
00:47:50.380
of that artificial nonsense and just making sure that everything is produced right here
00:47:56.340
So on top of that, you know, and that also goes for all of our products, but we are running
00:48:05.820
So if you type in code 2025 or 2025, it's valid 20% off for any one-time purchase.
00:48:14.280
I always like to say, too, you know, we talk about it quite a bit, but our BrassFed B
00:48:18.800
flippers flagship product, which I can't recommend enough, especially during the cold season, mainly
00:48:24.080
just because it contains all the nutrients that you really need, like vitamin A, B12,
00:48:31.720
And then on top of that, it also contains many vitamins and minerals that most people
00:48:36.980
So things like selenium, K2, copper, as well as choline.
00:48:41.500
So it kind of gives you the full array that you need to stay up to date and healthy with
00:48:45.440
And I don't tell people what to do, but I always urge people to get off the synthetic
00:48:49.960
multivitamins if they're willing to and switch over to the beef liver because the beef
00:48:54.860
liver, your body can absorb much better as well.
00:48:56.940
So a ton of information on our website, sacredhumanhealth.com, if you want to learn more, but I won't
00:49:07.100
We love our Maha brothers and sisters here in the War Room.
00:49:18.120
Hey, while you're at it, go check out birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:49:24.120
We get the latest installment of the end of the dollar empire.
00:49:33.280
Speaking of all things Maha, I think these are the days where you're sort of left with
00:49:39.040
the question, well, why did the government, why did the FDA ever let red food dye?
00:49:45.060
That's obviously carcinogenic and awful for your health.
00:49:49.900
And then you say, oh, well, that's because they also authorized the COVID-19 vaccine,
00:49:55.940
I think the probably biggest limited hangout that exists in current political discourse
00:50:00.340
is the idea that everything with young women's health has to be looked at through the lens
00:50:06.040
I've always advocated for discussion through this lens of reproductive health because reproductive
00:50:13.500
freedom and all this abortion talk presupposes that you can actually get pregnant when in
00:50:18.220
reality, what, testosterone rates are plummeting, women can't get pregnant, they're having to
00:50:24.440
And it's because it's a coordinated assault, not just on the nuclear family, that's the
00:50:29.900
But it's a coordinated assault on you and your body.
00:50:34.660
I mean, why would they want you to be smart and functioning well?
00:50:42.660
I guess we're getting really hot and spicy in the fourth hour of war room today.
00:50:46.760
But what's the advantage for America's ruling class for you to be, as we say, firing on all
00:50:55.460
Right, it's bread and circuses, but I think the bread's a little bit more toxic, and I
00:51:02.600
guess the circus is probably a little more toxic, too, because it's, what, grooming content
00:51:06.980
and weird pedophilic propaganda and pornography.

It's all a coordinated assault that I think if you read Joe Biden's farewell letter, you
00:51:18.540
can sort of piece out the through line, the common threads there.
00:51:21.480
So I'm very glad that, what, red dye three or whatever is banned.
00:51:28.620
But it's a symptom of a much more systemic problem, and I don't use systemic in the way
00:51:33.500
that the left uses it, talking about systemic racism or systems theory, complex systems theory
00:51:43.060
But it's a system that's designed to come for you and your family, and then in times
00:51:48.960
of need, like you saw in North Carolina and Tennessee, the government's nowhere to help
00:51:56.180
But I guess these are the same people who think American citizenship doesn't mean anything,
00:52:00.380
Give it to an H-1B, an H-2B, an H-4, an illegal alien.
00:52:07.140
Well, I think like President Trump said, we will never surrender to your false song
00:52:12.620
of globalism, and I'm ready to stop surrendering come January 20th.
00:52:18.500
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:52:34.000
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:52:38.380
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:52:46.020
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:52:51.300
and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:52:57.040
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:53:00.080
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will
00:53:03.880
soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:53:07.560
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even
00:53:13.480
vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:53:18.460
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:53:24.000
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission
00:53:28.100
to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:53:36.360
Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:54:05.000
And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients
00:54:10.860
far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin

Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.
