Stephen K. Baff is joined by David Mamet to discuss his new book, Disenlightenment, and Ben Burqam to discuss the rise of the anti-Americanism movement in America.
00:02:32.660David, Henry Johnson, a new film, the book Disenlightenment.
00:02:38.280You are one of our greatest playwrights, Pulitzer Prize winning screenwriter, film director, Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross, one of the all time greats.
00:02:47.780On the Disenlightenment book, you write, I think it's like page 50 or so.
00:02:54.640And a lot of these quotes I'm pulling as I went through the book and read, then I read a bunch of reviews and some of them from liberals were quite harsh.
00:03:04.800This book is an attempt to identify a seemingly unconnected set of symptoms as a single disease.
00:03:14.620Sir, what does that mean and how is that manifesting itself on the streets of Los Angeles this afternoon?
00:03:21.920Well, they said in the 19th century, they said whoever understands syphilis understands medicine because syphilis presented itself as a whole panoply of symptoms.
00:03:38.340So I'm looking in the essay by essay in the book at various manifestations of unreason or irrationality or absurdity or depravity, for example, of the open borders.
00:03:59.620And for example, the hatred of the state of Israel and the hatred of Jews and another example would be putting men in women's sports.
00:04:09.000Another example is getting out of abandoning Afghanistan.
00:04:13.660Another example is giving money to Iran and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, on and on and on.
00:04:20.280So these are a bunch of symptoms which seem to have nothing to do with each other.
00:04:26.020I try to identify an overriding political philosophy, which is why we say, oh, I get it.
00:04:32.380This benefits, for example, the Democratic Party.
00:04:35.620Well, it benefits some of the Democratic Party who thought that they could import votes.
00:04:41.180But it hurt a lot of the Democratic Party who lost the election.
00:04:44.880So my question is, looking at the Biden White House, there was nobody, it seemed like there was nobody home.
00:04:50.580So I'm saying my first response is looking at it to say the Biden White House is an extension of the anarchism, the Marxism, the anti-Semitism, and the anti-Americanism, the Islamophilia of Obama.
00:05:25.900So the city, there was no central administration.
00:05:29.040So the gangs, including the resistance, including the Marxists and the Leninists and the Trotskyites and the Gaullists and the Botanists, they would all take over a certain aspect of the city and fight for their turf.
00:05:46.100And they would fight each other when they needed to, and they would align with each other when they needed to, because there was nobody home.
00:05:52.020The other thing that happens in an open city is the settlement of scores.
00:05:55.200If there's no police presence, people would go around and say, you know what?
00:06:59.460But the sentence also contains the word dictatorship.
00:07:01.940So inherent in that Marxist sentiment is that somebody is going to be the dictator.
00:07:08.840So we're either going to have a dictator at the end of the day in this country, or we're going to have a reversion to constitutional democracy and representative government.
00:07:19.520You know, it brought up something that haunts me every time I read another book because I'm fascinated by the Russian Revolution.
00:07:25.180The Bolsheviks were such a small group, and at any point in time, if anybody had stood up to them, the slaughter and the madness would have never happened later on, as you recount by the Tsar's Cousins book that talks about that.
00:07:44.680What you're saying is this is why President Trump and the Stephen Millers of the world and the war rooms and this, it's our time to stand up.
00:07:51.360You've got to call the bluff now, because if you don't, it's only going to metastasize?
00:08:13.5601886 in Chicago, the anarchists rioted into a bomb that killed seven Chicago policemen.
00:08:21.360And when Kent State happened, James Michener, who was our most renowned and our most successful author, he wrote Hawaii, he wrote Texas, he wrote South Pacific, sold millions and millions of books.
00:08:36.340And he'd been flying in combat in World War II.
00:08:59.880Because what he came up with was two things.
00:09:01.960He said it was an insurrection, which had been prepared for months in advance by infiltrators.
00:09:08.880And the peace movement was—the instigators of the peace movement were largely the Communist Party.
00:09:14.840And he comes this close to saying that it wasn't the National Guard that shot those poor people.
00:09:21.320In your—the arc of your transformation, let's say, or becoming awakened, I guess, your friends, your colleagues, someone who's blacklisted you, Hollywood's not full of dumb people.
00:09:52.800You said, I think, at the beginning of the show, you don't have a border, you don't have a country.
00:09:56.300These concepts—how can these quite smart people who have gone to the best schools in the country and have—or at the peak of artistic talent, how can they not see what you see?
00:10:08.720Well, it's like a woman who keeps picking the wrong guy, right?
00:10:15.960And she says, why do I keep picking the wrong guy?
00:11:16.020If you're going to appeal to the mass directly, you have a barometer.
00:11:21.260But if you're not appealing to the mass, if you're appealing to a bureaucracy, there's little that you won't do to keep your three cars and your two houses.
00:20:24.580Well, we didn't have a border for four years.
00:20:27.100That was not anarchy, Ben, as you and Oscar Blue Ramirez and Todd Benzman and so many people.
00:20:31.800And by the way, Todd Benzman is now the right-hand man of Homan.
00:20:34.160And you guys for years and years and years, Michael Yan, everybody down in the gap, right, showing us everything that's happening in southern Mexico and Central America.
00:20:44.340Well, it's manifested itself in Los Angeles, and it's not going to stay.
00:20:49.660That's the Darien Gap right there, and it's not going to stay in the United States.
00:20:58.180And as Stephen Miller said, and he told me this a decade ago, two decades ago, the fight to save this country is eventually going to come down to Los Angeles.

00:28:54.640Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:29:04.040Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:29:11.080His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:29:23.280Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:29:29.440This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:31:38.000Grace, if you and Moe, and a hat tip for last night, your coverage was better because you were going back and forth between local news, CNN, others.
00:33:02.480It's just—it's just—you know, L.A. just needs to get cleaned up.
00:33:05.980And it's such a beautiful, beautiful city, you know, besides it being just run down.
00:33:11.620But it's really the politics, the, you know, like the politicians are just—you know, you see Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass who needs to be arrested.
00:34:03.440And she is nowhere to be found to take responsibility for this or put an end to it.
00:34:09.360She and Gavin Newsom both want to blame Donald Trump and this administration.
00:34:15.160And they are doing the right thing in trying to get illegals out of this country.
00:34:19.860And they are trying to stonewall, in my opinion.
00:34:24.280So where can the posse find the live stream of the riots going on tonight?
00:34:32.080So it'll be on War Room's Getter, War Room's X, and also War Room's Rumble account.
00:34:39.520And yesterday we streamed for about like 10 hours and just going through, you know, just independent journalists who are on ground between that, CNN, and local news.
00:34:52.140So, you know, we're trying to just get you guys all the action.
00:35:05.920And I just want everyone to know, Grace is behind the scenes on that.
00:35:10.940And she's doing so much with regards to that.
00:35:13.240She got very little sleep last night just because of all of the coverage so that you guys could see what was going on, especially those of you that don't live in L.A.
00:35:22.660But as Ben Burquam said, it's only going to get worse.
00:35:27.480And I saw in the comments actually before you and I came on air, someone said, what are 700 Marines going to do?
00:35:33.920So I want to make it very clear that the Marines are like the SWAT team of the military.
00:35:42.660So when the National Guard have been activated to their own Title 10, so they're on active duty status, if they are having a hard time, which it looks like not that they're struggling to contain this, but that they need assistance.
00:35:55.940That's why you have active duty military come in and support them.
00:36:00.920And that is why the 700 Marines will be moved from 29 Palms up to Los Angeles.
00:36:08.540It's in order to help with the National Guard.
00:36:13.660So I know 700 doesn't seem like a lot.
00:36:19.500You don't send in mass numbers of military in order to contain something like this.
00:36:25.020You start with the lower numbers, but they are more like the SWAT of the military.
00:36:30.200And I know I'll probably get, you know, comments from my friends that are special forces saying we are like the SWAT of the military.
00:36:38.780So I might hear about that after we get off air tonight.
00:36:43.100Yeah, and thank you everyone who did tune in yesterday.
00:36:49.420I mean, usually Getter, the live chat, like around, especially on weekends, sometimes it gets, you know, not as many people, but a lot of you guys tuned in.
00:36:58.540I mean, it was a lot to see and pretty disgusting stuff, you know, like the Mexican flag, you know, being all over and all the cars being on fire.
00:37:16.200And then we also want to remind the posse, you know, usually my dad has us on to talk about everything we're doing behind the scenes because you guys are so used to seeing him in front of the camera.
00:37:29.220And not Grace and I, we're on occasionally, but we do a lot.
00:38:18.500But if you like listening to the show on Apple Podcasts, you need to go on there, search, click the button to download, and leave us a review.
00:38:28.460My dad and I both read the reviews, so we will definitely read a review if you write us one.
00:38:37.060And on Spotify, you can go in and search.
00:38:40.680You have to search Bannon's War Room and then hit follow, and you can start listening to us there.
00:38:47.220And just like Apple, you can also leave us a review on there.
00:38:51.600And we are reading the reviews on Spotify as well.
00:38:54.940So I know that some people don't like listening on Apple.
00:38:58.740Some people don't like listening on Spotify.
00:39:01.180So if you're one that doesn't like listening on Apple, you can listen to us and watch us on Spotify.
00:39:07.060If you don't like Spotify, you can listen to us on Apple Podcasts.
00:39:12.540So I encourage you, Posse, to go to both of those.
00:48:19.980And some people recognize I actually had it on today and some people recognize my shirt and the logo on it.
00:48:26.860So, you know, it's pretty cool to see that so many people are buying the merch and wearing it and in support of us.
00:48:33.840And another way to support war room is to support our sponsors.
00:48:38.320And I know my dad has talked a lot about Birch Gold and he did before the commercial break.
00:48:44.100So in order to get a free copy of the ultimate guide for gold in the Trump era, you need to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon or text Bannon to nine, eight, nine, eight, nine, eight.
00:48:57.820And when you do that, like I said, you can get a free copy of the ultimate guide for gold in the Trump era.
00:49:03.840I also, when Grace was talking about pulling out your phone and downloading the Bill Blaster app, why would you give money to companies that hate you like AT&T and Verizon?
00:49:17.260Why not sign up for a mobile company that is a Christian conservative mobile company?
00:49:23.400You can go to patriotmobile.com slash Bannon or call 972-patriot and you can get a free month of service.
00:49:34.440I know when my dad does the read here, forgets to remind the posse.
00:49:38.100If you do that, you can sign up and get a free month of service.
00:49:42.600And once again, it's a great company, Glenn Story and the team, great company, great service.
00:49:48.020So I highly encourage you guys to look at Patriot Mobile and ditch Verizon and AT&T and go to the only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:50:00.080And once again, my dad this morning talked about being prepared and all of your preparedness needs, especially in L.A., what's going on with the riots.
00:50:09.660And now here on the East Coast, we have now gone into hurricane season.
00:51:58.220There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is personal debt.
