Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, Okay, it's the 15th of May, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
It's Saturday. | ||
Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, it's the 15th of May, the Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
It's Saturday. We normally try to get into issues in a much greater depth. | ||
We're going to be giving you updates of what's going on across the country in the search for the answer to the 3rd of November, the Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
More news coming out of Arizona we'll get to later in the show. | ||
We're live today with over, closing on 53 million downloads on the podcast. | ||
Of course, live on the John Fredericks Radio Network, live on Real America's Voice, the streaming service. | ||
I want to thank the team out in Denver for helping us put the show together every day of the week, but particularly on Saturdays where it's a little tougher. | ||
Up on Dischannel 219, Comcast on Cable 113, Roku, Pluto, and of course in G-News and GTV, now in Mandarin and in Japanese, live stream. | ||
Translated immediately and of course subtitled later and blown through the firewall of China for La Baijing. | ||
The deplorables of China. | ||
Okay, we've got a lot to get through today, very special. | ||
The American General's talk, okay, extraordinary letter came out this past week from what Captain Bannon, about 125, 124 I think, of the most revered military leaders, in an extraordinary letter following | ||
About a week by some of the most revered military leaders in France that warned President Macron that the nation was sliding into chaos, into civil war. | ||
And that letter, principally the letter was signed I think by 80 Senior military flag officers and senior field officers in the French Army said that, said that we're sliding to civil war unless there's immediate corrections. | ||
You know, things will have to happen. | ||
And so and by the way, Le Pen picked up on that. | ||
Marine Le Pen, who's going to run for who's going to run for who's going to run for the president of France against Macron in the spring of 2022. | ||
So this has caused a huge constant and then a lot of active duty, a lot of active duty personnel have signed or co-signed or supported that letter in France. | ||
The letter we have from Flag Officers for America and today we're going to have Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, Major General Gary Harrell, and Brigadier General Dan Bodick. | ||
They were all special operators. | ||
Field leaders of our special operators, all highly decorated, some of the bravest individuals, without question, judgment of leading young men and women in combat during the Iraq and Afghanistan War. | ||
Some with just incredible combat experience and numbers of deployments. | ||
But I want to start off, I think we've got, do we have General, we have General... We have Jerry and Don. | ||
Okay, we have General Bodick and we have General Boykin. | ||
Let's bring them in. | ||
Here's where I want to start now. | ||
Frank Gaffney is here. | ||
By the way, I just want to make sure everybody understands that the start time of the show is 10 a.m. | ||
Seaman Gaffney. | ||
Petty Officer Gaffney. | ||
I know how you guys run stuff over at the Defense Department, but in the war room... Just in time. | ||
General Boykin knows. | ||
General Boykin knows. | ||
And Captain Vancouver, we start, we hit our marks on time. | ||
Okay, I want to bring in Boykin and Jerry Boykin, Lieutenant General, and Dan Breeder, General Dan Bodick. | ||
Here's the first question I've gotten. | ||
Frank, let me start with you. | ||
One of the things we try to do in the War Room is talk about process. | ||
We get nomenclature, talk about critical path process, statics and dynamics of process, so people can make judgments for their own, and they can use their own human agency. | ||
Their show's so powerful, not because of us, because this activist audience that is taking over PTAs, you know, taking over the school boards, they're signing up for, you know, Dan Schultz, the West Point grads, got everybody signing up for precinct commitment throughout the country. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
We've got all this happening at the grassroots level because people feel empowered because now they have information in a framework of how to make decisions. | ||
Okay? | ||
I want to start a process. | ||
In September of this previous year, in the run-up to the 2020 election, if Denver could please put that letter up. | ||
We spent many hours on this show going through this letter that was so extraordinary. | ||
I think 353 officers, including the Admiral, when I came off of sea duty in the South China Sea, Admiral Hayward, a revered fighter pilot that was relieved by Jim Watkins a couple of years later. | ||
But Admiral Hayward was Chief of Naval Operations. | ||
I was a junior officer. | ||
I was a special assistant. | ||
He signed it. | ||
And what they said in their interviews is that this election is the most important election in the history of the Republic. | ||
They thought that the radical agenda... So this letter that just came out the other day just didn't pop up in the middle of the night. | ||
I believe that all 124 were signatories of the original letter. | ||
And you described that at the time, quite brilliantly, as a threat assessment. | ||
That they saw this coming and were predicting what was going to happen. | ||
So I want to go through, before bringing our generals, the special day the American generals talk. | ||
We're going to spend the entire first hour with the General, second hour talking about the war footing against the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
We have a very special guest, a super, if you think the bomb-throwers we have so far, we've got a super bomb-thrower coming in in the second hour. | ||
unidentified
|
Mega-bomb. | |
Mega-bomb-thrower. | ||
Frank Gaffney. | ||
The first letter, threat assessment. | ||
Take us through that. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, let me just say, I apologize for coming in very hot on this, but I'm delighted to be here. | |
Second of all, this program, Steve, is a national treasure what you're doing to inform this audience and equip them to take action is unsurpassed and desperately needed and what these general officers have been doing as you say going back to before the election | ||
was bringing their professional national security judgment to bear making the point that the threat that was facing us externally and internally and that would be compounded absolutely take it to the bank predictably by the Biden administration. | ||
Was going to be a perilous thing for our country. | ||
This was a cold shot. | ||
And what's so stunning is everything they said in September has come to fruition in the first hundred days of the Biden administration. | ||
This is not like they waited. | ||
These guys said this is the most important in the history of the republic and if these people are allowed to take over here's exactly what's going to happen. | ||
unidentified
|
I think even they, though, were probably surprised at how precipitous has been this catastrophe. | |
If you look at the two letters, the second letter is really a sitrep. | ||
It's a situation report of where we are, and now it's a call to action. | ||
The call to action, and by the way, this is why we're so obsessed with two things. | ||
We've got to get to the bottom of November 3rd. | ||
We've got to get to the bottom of Wuhan lab. | ||
You get to the bottom of those two things, everything else comes unraveled. | ||
And they said that this is going to be a threat to democracy. | ||
They foreshadowed exactly what's going to happen. | ||
unidentified
|
And now they're connecting the dots for the rest of us using again that same national security threat analysis perspective as to what is happening to our country so that all of us who know something is wrong Can understand exactly what it is and what it will imply if we don't stop it. | |
Let me say something about the show. | ||
In particular, our great distribution partners, Real America's Voice, John Fredrick, all of it in the podcast. | ||
There's so many people. | ||
Over 50, almost 53 million now. | ||
It's the easiest job I've ever had. | ||
Here's why. | ||
You have an audience that's thirsting for this information. | ||
This is not an entertainment show. | ||
And what makes it easy, we have patriots who are prepared to stand up and say, my voice will be heard, I will go for it, I don't care what they say, I don't care what they attack, because listen, all 124 of these, it would be so easy for these flag officers. | ||
Just to stay in retirement, keep quiet, let's play golf every day, you know, let's take a couple of consulting agreements from... Board seats. | ||
Board seats, couple of consulting agreements, go on TV and talk smack every now and again, and it'd be the easiest life in the world, and they would deserve it, given their service to their country. | ||
Right. | ||
Their later years, when they're elders and have wisdom, they have now, and I would argue, gone into more treacherous territory than they even served in the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan and throughout the world in Africa. | ||
This is far more treacherous, right? | ||
Far more treacherous. | ||
unidentified
|
Counterinsurgency. | |
Deep behind enemy lines. | ||
You are inside the wire when you come here, right? | ||
And it's treacherous. | ||
Captain Bannon, real quickly, give us a thumbnail of Boykin, Harrell, and Bodek before we turn to them. | ||
So, Lt. | ||
Gen. | ||
Boykin had a 36-year career, 13 of those years were in Delta Force, and 2 of those years he was the Delta Force commander. | ||
Brigadier Gen. | ||
Bodick from 2010-11 was the commander of the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force, and in 2012-13 he was the commander of the Combined Joint Special Operations Component in Afghanistan. | ||
And Gen. | ||
Harrell? | ||
He had a 35-year career. | ||
He was a Special Operations Command, and he was assigned to the prestigious 1st Special Forces Operation Detachment. | ||
Wow. | ||
So these are three special operators that have just been at the forefront. | ||
Yes. | ||
And I just want to address, when you talked about retirement, that call for service never goes away. | ||
Even when you retire, it's always there, and they see what's happening to this great country, and it's not going to go away. | ||
And they're going to fight like they did when they were active duty. | ||
They're going to continue to fight when they're retired. | ||
How does this inspire veterans like yourself that have served over there and now are in civilian life when you see men of this caliber step up and say, hey, here's why we need to step up and defend this republic again? | ||
I mean, it inspires veterans that were lower ranking than them to step up as well because we see the institution that we served in disappearing in the military that we know and love, and this country that we know and love, change completely. | ||
Don't even get me going on the woke navy, and particularly the woke west point, which is a topic for another day. | ||
My head will blow. | ||
I want to go to, so let's start with General Boykin, and then we'll go around the horn. | ||
What was it, sir, that made you guys warn the nation back in September, and then what developed in your eyes to then step forward, and obviously controversial, when an election, you know, when Biden is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and is the Commander-in-Chief, to step up now. | ||
So what was it principally that drove you? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, when we wrote the first letter there that had the 235 or so signatures, We were looking at the people that have been elected in our Congress to begin with, and realizing that if they had any influence on the next commander-in-chief, the next president, that we were going to, in four years, we were going to become a Marxist country. | |
And I think we were all very concerned about that. | ||
You see, especially those of us who have come out of special operations, because I ran the Special Operations School, the Special Warfare Center and School, and we taught Marxist insurgency. | ||
And we sent our men out. | ||
Of that school, understanding Marxism and understanding what a Marxist revolution looks like, because our mission and in many cases was to help indigenous forces fight against that. | ||
So we saw this Marxism coming to America just based on the people that we were seeing in the Congress, the people that we knew would be part of a Biden administration. | ||
And what we were trying to do was warn people, vote right. | ||
Elections have consequences. | ||
Vote right, and make sure that you understand that this Marxist movement in America is real, and you cannot deny it anymore, and we can go back to the roots of it and talk about what it looks like, but that was fundamentally why we wrote that letter. | ||
General Bowdoin, we've got about a minute before we go to break. | ||
What about you, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, sir, thank you very much, and I really appreciate being on your show, and thank you for what you're doing to highlight this. | |
It was pure and simple for me. | ||
It was, I saw the biggest threat to our Republic, our democracy, our form of government, everything that I fought for. | ||
I lost 72 men and women in combat under my command over 10 tours in Afghanistan in two years as the Special Operations Commander, Africa Commander. | ||
And the threat was from within. | ||
And that's how America is going to go down. | ||
And we can go back 50 years and see how they have initiated this the same way I would initiate it if I was taking over a country. | ||
General Boykin was my commander over several different pieces of my career. | ||
One, when I was going through training. | ||
Two, when I was a young major in 5th Special Forces Group. | ||
Three, when I was in the Pentagon as a lieutenant colonel and a colonel. | ||
So I've worked with him and I know exactly what training he's talked about. | ||
I would undermine education. | ||
I would supplant it with an ideology. | ||
I would take away our skills so that we had one uneducated kid along with no trades. | ||
They can't do anything. | ||
I would use that ideology to tell them a false narrative of our history. | ||
Then I would try and tear our history down. | ||
And I would continue to tear apart the very fabric. | ||
And then I would come up with two generations of kids that don't understand Uh, what freedom is, what liberty is, what true to happiness is, what everything is, uh, and we got that now. | ||
Uh, and... John Vodick, John Vodick, hang on one second. | ||
We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
We'll return with Generals Harold, Boykin, and Vodick about the Marxist insurgency within your own nation, next in The War Room. | ||

I want to go back, the heads are blown up already, because we know, look, all the mainstream media producers, all the big newspapers, they all have, maybe on Saturday, not the senior most people, they got the Grundoons watching this, but the Grundoon's heads are blown up, because we're talking about a Marxist insurgency. | ||
I want to go back to General Boykin, and remember, here's the key part for the audience. | ||
And this is why Lao Bajing and the Chinese, this is why we had all the Chinese voices back during the beginning of the pandemic on the weekends talking about in June that cultural Marxism, struggle sessions, this is what the Red Guard did during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s in China, this is what the Bolsheviks did, this is the process, break down the nuclear family, crush you, right? | ||
General Boykin, you taught this to our young troops as special operators, Marxist insurgencies. | ||
Be specific. | ||
Why do you say that there's a Marxist insurgency going on in this country by the elites that are driven by these radical progressive Democrats and these non-government These NGOs that are throughout the country. | ||
Why do you say it's a Marxist and not just people saying hey? | ||
I just want the Republic to be better. | ||
We're pro-democracy. | ||
We're all that. | ||
Why do you say it's a Marxist insurgency, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
Well because in 1958 they wrote a book called The Naked Communist by a guy named Skousen. | |
And they told us exactly how they were going to take over America. | ||
They told us about the revolution. | ||
They told us what they were going to do. | ||
And Don Bulldog just talked about some of it. | ||
They were going to undermine the education system. | ||
But you just said something that is very key, Steve. | ||
They were going to destroy the nuclear family. | ||
Because the most important fabric in our society is a family. | ||
And they laid out exactly how they were going to do that. | ||
And they were also going to unionize teachers in order to control those teachers. | ||
Have we seen that played out here? | ||
And, ultimately, they were going to destroy America from within. | ||
The same thing that we have heard from the jihadists. | ||
is that they would destroy America from within by infiltrating the institutions of America. | ||
And now you have to look at these riots that are taking place by BLM and Antifa and other groups and understand that this is the insurgency. | ||
This is the revolution that Karl Marx talked about when he wrote his book About communism. | ||
We have to understand that it's all playing out on the streets of America right now, and I can go down the list of things. | ||
That they said they were going to do when they wrote that book in 1958. | ||
And then... Okay, hang on for a second. | ||
Yeah, hang on for that. | ||
I'm going to come back to that. | ||
Hang on. | ||
I want to go to Bodick. | ||
We're trying to get General Harrell. | ||
unidentified
|
General Bodick, correct me if I'm wrong. | |
I thought when Ronald Reagan came in and said, hey, no more detente, no more compromise, no more SALT agreements. | ||
They're an evil empire. | ||
We win. | ||
He told Dick Allen, we win, they lose. | ||
Didn't the Berlin Wall collapse in 1989? | ||
I thought we won. | ||
I thought we proved to the world economically, technologically, culturally, that, and by the way, the Catholic Church and Thatcher and the Freedom Fighters like Valesa, the people in Eastern Europe, they threw it off so they can't do it anymore, and the people in Russia said, get these people out of here. | ||
I thought we won in 89. | ||
How are we in a situation in May Of 2021, I have some of our most revered special operators that have fought on battlefields all over the world are sitting here on a show telling me, hey, we actually have a Marxist insurgency that's actually controlling, a revolution that's controlling the government of the United States. | ||
How did we go from a victory in 1989 and a total collapse, they were gone in 18 months, to sitting here when last time I look, They're running the government and you're talking on war room. | ||
So walk me through how that happened. | ||
General Bodick, we'll start with you. | ||
unidentified
|
you. May I have General Bowdoin? May I make a point while we're getting hooked up with him? | |
We were told at the time, Steve you may remember, that the only place communists were still in place was in academia. | ||
Bye. | ||
Bye! | ||
And when you think about it, that's all they needed. | ||
And the General was just talking about a moment ago. | ||
We've now got two generations of cultural march through the institutions. | ||
Exactly right. | ||
And when you look at what they've done to essentially put their people, trained in these academic institutions, into every one of our institutions. | ||
But Fukuyama told me it was the end of history. | ||
He was wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
He was flat wrong, of course. | |
But his philosophy, his philosophy was in back of Bush 43, Bush 45. | ||
This is a Republican apparatus. | ||
If you want to see why Liz Cheney got bounced, right? | ||
If you want to see, that's the philosophy. | ||
And how does a great power, when you win and you're a hyper-power, you astride the world like a Goliath. | ||
Why? | ||
Since 1914, for 50 or 60 or 70 years, you've left bodies all over every battlefield in the world. | ||
The American people, the deplorables in this audience, have gone to Ford Motor Company, to airplane plants, and Rosie the Riveter, and the whole nation put their shoulder to the wheel in this From 1914 to 1989, this great catastrophic war of the 20th century, to win and turn out victorious. | ||
The question gets to be, how do we, 25 years later, sitting here going, we've got to rally the deplorables again. | ||
They have to come back to a call to arms once again at PTA boards, school boards, sign up for the Republican Party, take over state governments. | ||
Your letter says you've got to start at the lower level. | ||
How can this happen? | ||
This is an indictment on our lead. | ||
When you're telling me, oh, they had a bunch of assistant professors with tenure in the English Department, in History Department, in Art Department, in Sociology Department, because they didn't have them in the Engineering Departments then, they didn't have them in the Computer Science Departments, that you told me in the Liberal Arts Colleges, oh, they still had some professors. | ||
That's just not good enough. | ||
I'm sure it's a reason, but it can't be the reason. | ||
Who betrayed this nation that got us in this mess that we're in today? | ||
And yes, we're going to win, and we're going to turn this around. | ||
but the lesson people have to take from nineteen fourteen and nineteen eighty nine that a poor balls in this nation put their shoulder to the wheel to destroy fascism and nazi ism in the military hunter in japan and the soviets the greatest distressed we've ever had the nation and now to turn out you got the chinese communist party everywhere and every institution every political party they own wall street on a global corporations and the globalists are sitting there shutting you down time and time again that's the question's gotta be answered | ||
the question is how did this how do you go from a massive victory unparalleled in human history we took on every challenge of all the world in germany in italy in the asian in in with the japanese and then the top it off we took the soviets offer forty years and beat them and I'll see you next time. | ||
And did took that down in eight years, a guy named Ronald Reagan saying, hey, guess what? | ||
We win, they lose. | ||
How do you do that from the early 90s? | ||
What elites, what political elites, what cultural elites, what financial elites led us to this place? | ||
Because that's the question that's got to be answered. | ||
And that's what Donald Trump, as imperfect an instrument as he is, stood up in 16 and said, hey, she represents the managed decline of the greatest nation on Earth. | ||
And what these generals picked up in 20, not just the managed decline, you are about to have a revolution. | ||
It's one thing to have managed decline by elites that are bought off, right? | ||
It's one thing to have their, that's the vicinity's trapped. | ||
I asked the guy, Graham Allison. | ||
I said, hey, in all your 15 examples, you don't have one example where the elites of the declining power made more money on the way down than they made on the way up. | ||
He goes, hey, that's a pretty interesting point. | ||
That is the point. | ||
How did this happen? | ||
But now, what these generals said, because of their expertise in Marxist uncertainty, they said something in September of 2020 that's more important. | ||
This is not managed decline. | ||
You're on the precipice of a revolution. | ||
That's why this is the most important election in the history of the Republic. | ||
Because now, they're going to be inside the wire, they're going to have the levers of power. | ||
The subterranean power they've had, they're going to have all the power and they're going to run the tables. | ||
And 100 days into this, they have the courage to step up and say, guess what? | ||
I guess I'm not going to be playing golf all the time now because they're going to come for me. | ||
I'm going to step up and warn this nation, like the generals in France warned it, that this thing is spinning out of control and it's going to get worse. | ||
And if you don't step up now at the grassroots level where you can take power, you can't take power at the federal level yet. | ||
Yet. | ||
That's going to come in November 2022. | ||
But you can't wait till then. | ||
And all this nonsense on Fox and all this nonsense, it misses the point. | ||
This is the point. | ||
And the letter's the point. | ||
And the letter in September is the deeper point. | ||
It's here. | ||
And unless you combat it back at the local level, where these individuals understand this is how you defeat an insurgency, you go back to the villages. | ||
You go back to the villages and it's the deplorables once again that have to be called to arms again, just like in 1914, just like in 1942, just like in the Cold War and in Vietnam. | ||
And it's the same people that always answer. | ||
And that's why we're going to win. | ||
No doubt we're going to win. | ||
But you need leaders like this. | ||
You need leaders like Harrell. | ||
You need leaders like Boykin. | ||
You need leaders like Bodek, who are sitting there going, it's easy for me to say nothing. | ||
It's easy to be quiet. | ||
Look in history. | ||
It's always easier to be quiet. | ||
All those individuals died in their sleep, right? | ||
In their beds. | ||
It's the brave that step forward. | ||
Okay, hopefully we'll have our technical problems worked out. | ||
I'll get off my soapbox. | ||
unidentified
|
We will return in The War Room. | |
Just a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
Pandemic. | ||
With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
War Room. | ||
Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, in the war room you come for the ramp, but you stay for the reason. | ||
I do agree with the chat that we had a little technical problem. | ||
That's why I had some free time there to kind of go off. | ||
We're going to now bring in what the show's about. | ||
The American General's Talk. | ||
This is a war room special about this amazing letter of these brave individuals, 124 that stepped up to really identify what is the central beating heart of the problem in our country today as it spins out of control every day. | ||
Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, Major General Gary Harrell, and Brigadier General Dan Bodick. | ||
I want to go now to General Harold. | ||
General Howard, you heard my rant, you've signed the letter, you've talked about this Marxist insurgency. | ||
Give us your analysis of why you signed it, what's the power of the letter, and where do you think the country is? | ||
unidentified
|
I signed it because I think we are in considerable trouble here. | |
I think a lot of people are not recognizing that. | ||
I listened to your discussion that you're calling a rant, but you're absolutely right. | ||
And the reason we're in this position Is because if you're attacking a castle and you can't break in through the front gate, you go around to the back door where the sheep come in and out or whatever, because it's much easier to sneak in than it is to go head to head. | ||
And I think that's what we've been doing. | ||
You remember Nikita Khrushchev back in the fifties and early sixties? | ||
He said, we will bury you and, and you won't even know we're coming. | ||
Well, there's been a lot of people, I think, working on that for a long time. | ||
And that's why I believe we're in this situation we're in right now, because we have not been awake, not woke, awake. | ||
And that's why we're in this mess. | ||
And I'm not sure that I can solve all the answers right now. | ||
But I will tell you when you have a government that is standing in front of a picture of a television screen where hundreds of thousands of people or even a thousand of people are coming across the border and you're going, the border is closed. | ||
We will not let anyone in. | ||
And they're walking across and they're all in clean clothes. | ||
You got a problem that we need to address instead of saying the border is closed. | ||
Does that answer it a little bit? | ||
Yes, that's fantastic. | ||
General Bodick, I want to go to you because you're actually, I think you're a candidate, you're running in a Republican primary, or have announced you're running a Republican primary in the state of New Hampshire, the live free or die state, in the Senate. | ||
When you wrote this letter, you had to know this was going to be controversial. | ||
Take us through the thoughts. | ||
I understand it's one thing to write in September and warn the nation that it's the, and flag officers, to warn the nation because so many woke field officers had come out against Trump, you know, either in the in the administrative state itself or retirees who were just virulently anti-Trump. | ||
It's one thing to write the letter to warn the nation that this is going to happen. | ||
It's another thing that after After the other side is actually in office, and Joe Biden is actually the Commander-in-Chief, to then put a warning out, particularly as brutally frank as this letter was. | ||
And everybody, we got the letter up in the live chat. | ||
This letter has to be read and has to be thought about. | ||
We said the other day it needs to be shared and passed on, not just to your friends and colleagues out there in the audience, but to people in your family that disagree with you dramatically about your support of Trump or the Trump movement or America First. | ||
It has to be shared. | ||
So, General Botek, let me ask you. | ||
What was the thought process of the 124 that decided, because you had to know this was going to be explode throughout the world and not in a positive way to the mainstream media and the thought police, that kind of controlled discussion and dialogue, not just in the United States, but throughout the world. | ||
So what was the thought process, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
So the thought process was simple. | |
One, hey, we got to give everybody a warning. | ||
And then after the first hundred days, what did we see? | ||
Well, we saw it being implemented. | ||
I mean, by a numbers implementation. | ||
And now they're at the point where they have sufficiently done the bottom-up work by removing God from the public square, undermining the family, undermining our education, and a number of those institutions that are critical to our Republic, going after our Second Amendment, Not taking care of the health care of veterans, which I'm very involved in. | ||
Hey, if you keep your veterans sick, you don't take care of their health, and then you disarm them, who's going to stand up for you when you need them, right? | ||
So I believe that's all part of the plan as well. | ||
And this isn't some big, huge conspiracy theory. | ||
This is a fact. | ||
And now we have two generations of youngsters that do not understand our history, do not appreciate our history, don't understand the sacrifice, uh... and they are defining everything that they believe in by the obama administration and uh... | ||
blaming capitalism or uh... | ||
you know being the biggest uh... devil because of the uh... you know economic problem situation crash that we had under the obama administration the health care issues you know attack the health care in new hampshire here It's the number one reason for personal bankruptcy. | ||
And then use the COVID, right? | ||
Use the COVID to isolate people, keep them away, scare them, fear and uncertainty instead of self-determination initiative and that don't tread on me attitude. | ||
Let's remove all of that, make people afraid and dependent. | ||
Now they're coming down from the top because they've already undermined the bottom. | ||
And now it's time to come out and say, hey, enough is enough. | ||
We need leaders. | ||
We don't need lemmings. | ||
We don't need people that are sycophants. | ||
You know, being blunt, having candor has been both a curse and a blessing in my military career. | ||
And I will never deviate from that. | ||
I will do what is right. | ||
Hey, I'm a Brigadier General, retired in large part because my wife was done with the military and I owed her that. | ||
But more importantly, I went against the Obama administration and the brass when they changed their strategy in 2014. | ||
In Afghanistan, I fought hard against their policies in Africa when I spent four years in Africa, and I came out against them and how they were handling the mental health, physical health, and spiritual health of our service members. | ||
And now we see how they're truly undermining that in a very, very negative way. | ||
So this is a problem, and I'm running for the United States Senate because we have a leadership problem. | ||
And in New Hampshire, With our Republican governor, who is, I believe, in the middle of this with our four Democrat representatives in Congress, undermining our self-determination, our initiative, our don't tread on me attitude, keeping us down, keeping the state closed, you know, doing all these things that ultimately are going to | ||
Completely undermine our Republic and destroy it from within. | ||
And I'm coming out, largely, and running for office because we need a change. | ||
We need a big change, and the way you change it is people. | ||
And I'm using the grassroots. | ||
I'm using the bottom-up. | ||
I'm using the training that General Boykin and General Harrell, through their experience, put inside of, you know, the United States Army Special Forces training. | ||
And I am using that grassroots in the opposite way. | ||
Bringing God back into the public square. | ||
Talking about how bad our education is and how we need to improve it. | ||
How we need to teach the truth to people. | ||
How we need to tell the truth to people. | ||
And I'll be the first one to go through the door for people. | ||
I'll go through the door. | ||
You don't have to. | ||
I'll go through the door. | ||
I will lead the way. | ||
I will fight this establishment. | ||
These people that are undermining our nation. | ||
And I will do it inside the United States Senate where I can be most effective By sitting on critical committees, armed services committee, intelligence committee, and bringing folks to accountability and to responsibility. | ||
General Bodick, we really want to thank your wife. | ||
I know she's terribly excited about it. | ||
20, 25, 30 years in the military. | ||
Honey, we're going to retire. | ||
Oh, by the way, I'm going to sign this letter and run for the Senate. | ||
Now they're going to tear your face off a thousand dollars. | ||
That's the bait and switch. | ||
unidentified
|
You're a good salesman. | |
I like that. | ||
unidentified
|
If you can convince her, I'm sure you can convince the people in New Hampshire. | |
You know, this is part of it. | ||
We've got to get the word out, right? | ||
We are being, you know, big tech, censorship, the corporate ownership of national media, and then career politicians are the three things that have got us in this situation. | ||
Career politicians have undermined us from within, big tech, the elitists that are working against us, the censorship keeping us quiet. | ||
Hey, I've never sat on the sidelines, put me in coach, and I'm ready to do it, roll up my sleeves, and I think there's plenty of people out there that want to do this, that need to do it, and generals that signed this letter, General Harrell and General Boykin that you have on this show now, Their leadership. | ||
We're going to get through this. | ||
We're going to come through on the other end. | ||
And we are not undemocratic. | ||
We are, I think, a quintessential example of men and women that love their country and will do anything can to preserve this great nation as we have seen it. | ||
An example for freedom, justice across the world. | ||
No, this is what I ask. | ||
If you look at the opposition here, these gentlemen have dedicated their lives to saving democracy. | ||
This point is about saving democracy. | ||
It's only legal, certifiable, chain-of-custody votes that count from American citizens. | ||
That's democracy. | ||
This all-votes count of all this stuff is nonsense, but General Borg, I've got to go to you because we're pressed for time. | ||
The left's going to see this and say, hey, these guys are courageous, they've had valor, they have fought in our wars overseas, and you can't question their courage and you can't question their dedication to country. | ||
But they're a collection of wingnuts. | ||
And this is all conspiracy theory. | ||
You know, all conspiracy theory, and no offense, it did come out in May, and this is seven days in May, right? | ||
All you have is Boykin and these special operators that have all colluded together, they've all drank the same Kool-Aid, and it's a conspiracy theory group of wingnuts, and this is seven days in May, this is a tantamount to a military coup. | ||
What say you, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
I say, okay, at least I want you to read the letter. | |
I want you to read what's in there, because If you read that and ponder it, you have to come to the conclusion that things are not good in this country. | ||
But second part of that is, look, at this point, I don't care what they think of me. | ||
What I want to do is get their attention. | ||
You know, I have six grandchildren, and it's about their future. | ||
It's about what kind of America they're going to grow up in. | ||
And whether they're going to live in a free society, in a free constitutional republic, Or whether they're going to live in a Marxist-Communist type of government, controlling every aspect of their lives. | ||
So, yeah, at least when the left is criticizing me, or criticizing this whole group, at least that means they've read the letter. | ||
It means that the average American has read the letter. | ||
And whether they know who we are or whether they agree with us or not, it's still important that they at least Have been warned that they've read the letter. | ||
But at this point in my life, it is not about what people think of me. | ||
It is about the future of my grandchildren. | ||
And I've got a 36 and a half year investment in this country. | ||
And I weep because as I told you, Steve, on your program earlier in the week, we're living through a big con right now. | ||
All this concertina wire around the Capitol and the White House and all the National Guard with no weapons, by the way, out on the streets of Washington, D.C. | ||
There is no threat there. | ||
There's not a threat. | ||
And, but we're being told that there is, and it's all about convincing America that we, the conservatives, we, the people that supported Donald Trump, we that believe in the flag and the national anthem and the constitution of the United States, we are a domestic threat. | ||
This is a con. | ||
It's all a con. | ||
And what that means is that they are in the final throes and final stages, I believe, of what they think is going to be Ultimate victory in this revolution, and you cannot deny that we're not going through a revolution right now, which is well-funded and led. | ||
General Boykin, hang on, we're taking a short commercial break. | ||
We'll be back with Generals Harrell, Bodick, and Boykin. | ||
The American generals talk in the War Room next. | ||

Support the armor-piercing shell that is Mike Lindell, who's been such a huge patriot in helping us get to the bottom of November 3rd. | ||
Okay, I want to return to Major General Harrell, another special operator. General, I gotta ask you the same question, because people are gonna say, hey, look, these guys are brave, they're courageous, but they're all conspiracy theory wingnuts, and they've, in their own mind, they've concocted this Marxist revolution that's going on, and this is seven days in May. | ||
Is this really the coup, or do you see a coup someplace else? Walk through why you guys are not seven days in May, but it may be someplace else. Well, we're not seven days in May, because, you can check it out. | ||
unidentified
|
We haven't been going to meetings, organizing programs, uh, coming together, talking up crowds, doing things like that. | |
We've been kind of quietly sitting back, watching this, hoping we're not, uh, seeing what we think we're seeing. | ||
And then we've had enough and we've said, Okay. | ||
If somebody doesn't stop this, we know where it's going. | ||
We, listen, we're all three special forces officers. | ||
We used to train how to do this when called upon in other countries. | ||
So we know what's going on and we recognize it. | ||
So you can call us wing nuts, but, uh, I, uh, you're not going to find anybody that's, uh, much more experienced than Jerry Boykin. | ||
And Don is very experienced as well. | ||
We've all been doing this for a long time. | ||
So you want to call it a wingnut? | ||
Go ahead. | ||
But we're doing this because we love our country. | ||
Most of us have left chunks of our bodies in other places around the world. | ||
And we don't want to see it come here. | ||
And something that Jerry hit on is very, very true. | ||
I'm not doing this for myself. | ||
I'm okay. | ||
I'm retired. | ||
But I don't want my children and my grandchildren to go through this because we know how miserable it's going to be. | ||
General Harrell, you took an oath when you entered the military, and I think when you made flag officer, you take an oath. | ||
What was that oath that you took? | ||
And what does it mean to you today? | ||
unidentified
|
It means the same thing to me today that it did the day I took it when I was a second lieutenant. | |
It's to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. | ||
We are supposed to be following the Constitution. | ||
And I must admit, I don't think we're following it very well right now, especially based on the fact that, you know, some of the things I see happening, I don't think are constitutional. | ||
And if you wonder what those things are, I would suggest you get a copy of the Constitution and take it out and read it. | ||
Because, you know, freedom of speech, Second Amendment, all of those things, I don't think they're just there for somebody to have them on a sheet of paper. | ||
They're there for us to live them. | ||
And if our leadership says that we're going to violate all those things, Where does it end? | ||
I don't know. | ||
General Bodick, I want to talk about how this ends. | ||
They're announcing next week there's going to be a commission on 1-6, just like there was a commission on the Kennedy assassination, like there was a commission on Pearl Harbor, like there was a commission on 9-11. | ||
I mean, this is something that's not done unless it's a major event. | ||
And in that, sir, they're essentially saying that Generals Harold, Bodick, and Boykin, the implication is that these are leaders of sedition, treason, and that this is a whole, you know, white nationalists, white supremacists, people that are overthrowing the Constitution, are by definition anti-democratic. | ||
What say you, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I say They're absolutely incorrect. | |
I've been called a lot of things, but a wingnut has never been one of them. | ||
And I got to tell you that, you know, I took the same oath as General Boykin and General Harrell to support and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. | ||
And I am running for the United States Senate. | ||
I am not seditious in any way. | ||
I'm not undemocratic. | ||
I am putting my name on the line, my reputation on the line, my service on the line, because that's what I do. | ||
And I am running for the United States Senate inside the system that was designed for us to make a change. | ||
And if you want to make a change in this country, then we got to get rid of career politicians that are the bane of our existence. | ||
On both sides of the aisle, by the way, on both sides of the aisle, we have issues with With that in our state here across the country and we need to put different people in there that are public service oriented. | ||
That's what we are. | ||
We want to serve our nation. | ||
We want to serve the people in our nation. | ||
I want to do it for a limited period of time. | ||
Two terms. | ||
I believe in term limits. | ||
I'm not in it to make another career. | ||
I've had a career. | ||
I support veterans. | ||
I teach. | ||
unidentified
|
I do those things here in this state because I care about the people in this state. | |
I'm a granite stater. | ||
I've been a resident of New Hampshire for 59 years and a Republican in this state for 42 years. | ||
I love my state. | ||
I love my country. | ||
Live free or die. | ||
To even suggest that my sacrifice, the sacrifice of the two other gentlemen here, and the sacrifice of the 72 men and women, my why, why I will never do anything to embarrass my country, while I will always try and I will never quit, those men and women and their families that gave their life under my command, For our freedom and our justice. | ||
And when I see people undermining that and then using their cancel culture in their pointing of fingers to try and undermine our country, it's time to do something. | ||
And I'm doing it and I'm running for office to make that change. | ||
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
We've asked these three gentlemen to stay over for at least another segment of the American General's Talk. | ||
We've got Lieutenant General Boykin, we've got Major General Harrell, we've got Brigadier General Bodick talking about a Marxist revolution underway in the United States. | ||
We're going to ask them next, how can this be stopped in its tracks? | ||
Frank Gaffney, Captain Maureen Bannon, Stephen K. Bannon in the War Room. | ||
We're going to return in just a moment. | ||
