| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| This is Extraction Under Fire. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 31 August, Year of the Lord 2021. | ||
| 80 million, significantly north now of 80 million, 82 million actually downloads the podcast. | ||
| Live everywhere. | ||
| I want to thank Russ Vogt. | ||
| Former OMB under President Trump is with us, and Jack Pasovics just joined us. | ||
| Russ, I want to finish up with you, and Jack, jump in here. | ||
| Russ was talking about this refugee resettlement program, which is the only thing the DOD, the only thing that the generals had organized was this, and they've been working on it since April, down to the fact that culturally appropriate food. | ||
| I'm not opposed to culture of pulper fruit. | ||
| You gotta do it. | ||
| But why is that organized down to the 10th decimal place and our young men and women are just tossed out there outside of Abbey Gate to fend for themselves, right? | ||
| With the Taliban as screeners, which they let a guy through that had 25 pounds of high explosive with shrapnel and ball bearings and all that. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Why is one totally disarray? | ||
| The other one's highly, it's like, you know, it's like IBM and Ford and Microsoft and everybody got together and ran a process. | ||
| Also, I've asked Russ, we can't do it today, but we're going to come back. | ||
| We're actually going to walk through where your money went in these wars. | ||
| We're going to find, we say $2 trillion, you know, Brown University says $2 trillion in Afghanistan and $7 trillion in Iraq and it comes up to $9 trillion. | ||
| We'll come back and walk you through it and find out where your tax dollars went. | ||
| Where's your money? | ||
| Where's your sweat and blood? | ||
| Russ, what is the purpose of this refugee program in your mind and over at the center that you run today? | ||
| What's really going on here? | ||
| Can you explain that to the MAGA movement? | ||
| What's the reality versus the spin? | ||
| Yeah, I think the refugee program is an extension under this administration of the open border policies that have been pursued by the left. | ||
| And there's a reason why they want a high refugee number. | ||
| These individuals come immediately with their hand held out, costing somewhere between $60,000 and $130,000 per refugee between certain ages of those who are individually coming here, and without any ability to have a sense about whether they can be assimilated so that we can be one nation under God. | ||
| And I think the challenge that the left is articulating is they don't want unanimity. | ||
| They want just increased diversity. | ||
| They want the ability to kind of fray us as a country. | ||
| This is part and parcel of that strategy. | ||
| And that doesn't mean we're not all human beings, we have differences, and that's all great. | ||
| But we have also had an ability in this country to assimilate, to have a... | ||
| cohesion to be able to move forward as a country so that we can be one nation. | ||
| And that's one of the things that is so important that we are working at the Center for Renewing America is that's not something to be shy about. | ||
| That's something that is vital for the long-term success of this country to be able to know what we're fighting for and whether we have the ability to preserve ourselves as a country. | ||
| Now Russ, one question that I wanted to ask you is, has there been anything that you've uncovered in your research, and this is something that I've been looking for and I have not been able to find any evidence of whatsoever, is whether or not these same generals and these State Department officials had any discussions whatsoever with our allies and partner forces throughout the GCC, throughout the Gulf. | ||
| In region, in the Middle East, as Steve has said, that's not exactly an area that's hurting for land, that's hurting for space. | ||
| You know, was there any discussion whatsoever with these very wealthy areas that we do business with and that we have military ties with and of course are dependent on us for a lot? | ||
| In terms of both that protection and economic ties, was there any discussion to bringing these refugees there for a place that obviously it's closer, it's easier, you have in some cases similar language, was there any discussion whatsoever? | ||
| We have not found anything, Jack, although it is going to be an area of ongoing freedom of information requests that we continue to make on behalf of the American people and try to get more transparency from this administration. | ||
| You know, I think Steve had a great point earlier when he said, you know, the bureaucracy is always efficient because it aligns with the values of the people in charge who have these globalist open border policies. | ||
| It's just never aligned and efficient in terms of the American people who are trying to make some clear-headed decisions about what is wise and unwise from the standpoint of the country moving forward. | ||
| Well, you know, it's funny you say that because, you know, I've been in discussion with people who had contacts that were on the ground trying to get people out. | ||
| You know, you saw that ABC story, the task force Pineapple. | ||
| I'm not gonna say it's that, but it's stuff involved similar to that, where they had flights, they had handshake agreements with countries that are in region and near region, where they were saying, yeah, we'll take those guys, no problem, land the plane here. | ||
| And then our ambassador, our US ambassadors under our State Department under this president, remember ambassadors report directly to the commander in chief, right? | ||
| They are the representative of the commander in chief in that country. | ||
| ambassadors got involved and said, stand down. | ||
| Those charter flights will not land. | ||
| You've got the range, you've got the area, you've got people who are willing to give them. | ||
| Keep in mind, this is favor diplomacy, right? | ||
| This is the kind of stuff that State Department usually goes for. | ||
| But again, to your point, because it wasn't coordinated. | ||
| Because what it didn't go through the geniuses at Foggy Bottom because the blob didn't give their rubber stamp on this whole thing. | ||
| You just got guys in country who have relationships in these governments and say let's do it. | ||
| But they didn't want the precedent of sending them to regional countries and having them in the region. | ||
| That's what they want to turn it down to force the device. | ||
| It wasn't even part of the discussion. | ||
| And I'm here to tell you, by the way, and I'll throw this out there and, you know, I'll take the hits. | ||
| This is happening. | ||
| This is happening. | ||
| There are people, the volunteers, the veterans that are there, that are on the ground. | ||
| It is happening. | ||
| They are getting people out. | ||
| And they are still getting people out. | ||
| And if you are someone that's involved in this, if you know somebody over there, you can reach out, you can contact me. | ||
| We are going to do everything we can for the civs, the SIVs that are still there, for the people who helped us, to the people that we gave a solemn promise to. | ||
| We are not going to leave you behind. | ||
| Here's the key point. | ||
| Russ Vought brought up a very interesting term. | ||
| The matador, right? | ||
| And just the process of just waving them through. | ||
| Parole and waving them through. | ||
| Because there's so many of these refugees, people have no earthy idea what they did for the common cause as an ally. | ||
| The veterans over there, and guys are doing this on their own nickel, know exactly who the interpreters were, exactly who the commanders were, exactly who the guys that helped them. | ||
| Yeah, because this is the guy that I've worked with for 10 years, this is the guy that I've worked with for 20 years, this was the guy who was in Northern Alliance prior to 9-11, etc. | ||
| Remember the con is that the State Department is actually calling these governments in the region and saying, don't take them. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| Don't take them. | ||
| The State Department is saying, don't do this. | ||
| We're going to do this. | ||
| We're going to bring them here. | ||
| We're going to bring them to the United States. | ||
| We're going to bring them to the homeland. | ||
| And for some reason they feel like they have to bring them to the homeland. | ||
| They're required to. | ||
| When anyone with common sense can look at this and say there's easier ways to do this, there are logistically easier ways, safer ways to handle this. | ||
| I just think of In my own experience, I used to serve at Guantanamo Bay. | ||
| Guantanamo Bay, prior to the detention center, was set up for what? | ||
| It was refugees, right? | ||
| It was Haitian boat lift. | ||
| It was Cuban refugees. | ||
| You have to find a way to process this. | ||
| It has to be done safely. | ||
| We've done this as a country before. | ||
| There's no reason to go to the great lengths that we're doing to bring them to the homeland en masse. | ||
| Russ, I've got to ask you. | ||
| I want to talk about Center. | ||
| I know you guys don't get involved in politics, your policy, and that's how it should be. | ||
| But, and I'm going to talk about some stuff in Politico today, some buried leads. | ||
| This is going to be a huge issue because this refugee situation is going to get into the state of our sovereignty. | ||
| About the invasion of our southern border, all this, our sovereignty. | ||
| It's going to be a massive issue in 2022. | ||
| And it's one of the reasons we're going to do a sweeping victory like we did in the Tea Party year 2010. | ||
| So Russ, Walk through, how do people get and how do they support your center? | ||
| Because we want to hear MAGA. | ||
| The guy right here is MAGA, right? | ||
| Russ Vogt, former head of OMB under Trump. | ||
| And they're taking on the toughest issues. | ||
| And they're not shy about taking a controversial position that's a MAGA position. | ||
| And here's the reason. | ||
| You're not doing any intellectual slumming. | ||
| When you're up against Russ and his guys, you've got the top, smartest guys there. | ||
| And here's what I love about Russ. | ||
| He's always coming with the receipts. | ||
| There's no happy talk, big rhetoric. | ||
| He's got the math right there. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And that's what we need. | ||
| Just like in the Wuhan situation, just like on 3 November. | ||
| Remember, the more granular you get, the better we look. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And that's what I always tell people. | ||
| Granularity, granularity, granularity. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Russ has got it. | ||
| How do people... First off, you're going to keep grinding on this, we know. | ||
| And that's great. | ||
| How can people help you? | ||
| How do they get more information? | ||
| How are you guys going to promulgate more information on this very topic? | ||
| This is a really important point. | ||
| Folks think of us as a policy organization, but we're also an activist organization. | ||
| We're trying to take people who want to be involved in the political process and arm them and make sure they know exactly how to be involved in the main leverage points to be able to ensure that Congress hears their voice. | ||
| And so if you go to Renewing America, Individuals who watch this daily, twice a day, can go and sign up and say, I want to participate with Citizens for Renewing America, which is the sister organization for the Center. | ||
| We would love to see an army of war room watchers sign up to be able to go out and make sure that that Congress does not move in the wrong direction on refugee resettlement and it uses its leverage against the Biden administration. | ||
| Where's right now? | ||
| I know a lot of the RINOs, a lot of the establishment Republican Party don't want to talk about this because the donors are all essentially open borders guys. | ||
| How are you going to light the flame under a recalcitrant Republican Party to get on top of this? | ||
| Because you know that a lot of these guys are going to say, oh my gosh, I don't want to talk about that. | ||
| They're going to say bad things about me on Morning Joe. | ||
| Yeah, the first part of it is to bust the cartel and make sure the cartel can't get away with this doctrinaire view that these are all special immigrant visas and interpreters. | ||
| So that's the first part of it and it's then to work and be able to win that debate nationally so that it has implications in all of their districts moving forward and we're in the process of doing that and we hope to have the leverage point of the appropriations process to have a Discernible public event that allows us to be able to push to, and it's going to be complicated with things like the debt limit and other things. | ||
| It'll be a perfect storm of issues, but that's where we're headed towards. | ||
| We got a hundred Republicans signing for that debt limit, Russ, so we're on that. | ||
| We'll have you back on about that. | ||
| Okay, how do people track you on social media, how they get to the site? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| At RussVote on both Getter and Twitter, and they can get the site at renewingamerica.com. | ||
| It was great talking with you, Steve and Jack. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Okay, Pasovic, we got three minutes in this segment, but you become kind of in the center with a bunch of other guys. | ||
| I want to keep operational security, OPSEC, but talk about, I've never seen this kind of outpouring of veterans that are back in Back in the war zone, and man, they're getting stuff done the way the special operators and other guys, paramilitary, get done, which is, hey, with a little bailing wire sometimes, right? | ||
| Well, Steve, Steve, the floor is competence, right? | ||
| If you want to get involved in these guys, the floor is competence. | ||
| They say, well, how do I find the chat rooms? | ||
| How do I get in? | ||
| How do I get in? | ||
| If you know, you know. | ||
| If you know, you know. | ||
| If you're asking the question, you know the right skill set. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which by the way, for your own benefit, doesn't go there. | |
| And that's because of OPSEC, that's because you need to have people that know the lay of the land. | ||
| This isn't 1842 and the British Army is going across from India. | ||
| You know, you've got, but when you look at it, it's, it's, you tell you what, those mountain ranges haven't changed. | ||
| Those passes haven't changed. | ||
| The only thing that changed is who is in control of them. | ||
| And these guys, what they're doing, the answer is, how do we do it? | ||
| How do we do it expeditiously? | ||
| How do we do it quickly? | ||
| And how do we do it safely? | ||
| Now, obviously with some of the options that are now being shut down, you know, obviously if there's someone who's been injured, if there's someone who's not in a good physical condition, right, you're, you're, There are people that are going to have to say, hey, I don't think you can make it because of the way we're going to have to be able to get out. | ||
| You may have to answer this in the other part, but here I think is what would help clarify for the American people. | ||
| Given all the time we spent there, given that people knew this was going to happen, given that on the refugees, that's why I keep running the refugees, and by the way, we have sympathy for the refugees and compassion, but the refugees, NORTHCOM was planning this in detail in April, down to the fact you have culturally appropriate food when you got to Dulles. | ||
| How did we get in a situation? | ||
| You could have done all the SIVs first. | ||
| You could have done all of this first. | ||
| But how, if this was not an act of commission, how do we get in a situation that special operator volunteers who are retired are coming back and getting planes, Eric Prince is getting planes, and they're going and getting the main SIVs, I mean, they're getting the main interpreters and the commandos and things like that. | ||
| How do we get in a situation that any of those are left behind? | ||
| And we have to, against the U.S. | ||
| government, do it and we have the government calling, the State Department calling countries and saying, don't take them. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| I tell you what, hold it. | ||
| Hubris. | ||
| Hubris is the answer. | ||
| Actually, you know, I'm starting to believe. | ||
| At first I thought it was hubris and incompetence. | ||
| I think Brian Kennedy, these guys, may actually now be convincing me that it's something else here. | ||
| You know, because there's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences. | ||
| Okay, we've got a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to pepper Jack Posobiec, former Naval Intelligence Officer, with many of these questions when we return on Extraction Under Fire in the War Room. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We got Human Events Senior Editor, Jack Pasovic. | ||
| By the way, it is a must-read. | ||
| You gotta download the app for Human Events or the homepage for Human Events. | ||
| Make sure you go in there all the time. | ||
| Pasovic's breaking news non-stop, Tuesday, 31 August, Year of the Lord 2021. | ||
| I want to go to very controversial, and these are elements of the American military that have been amazingly effective of saving our Service men and women, and also promulgating the program we had over there, and that is these, I can't believe it happened, the situation with the working dogs, the dogs of the U.S. | ||
| Army and Marine Corps. | ||
| Tell us what happened there. | ||
| So we're getting reports and there's photos that are coming out and it's a huge fog of war situation and so that's why I'm going to refer back to simply the statements that were made by American Humane and SPCA International. | ||
| American Humane People remember these guys have been around since the 1800s, right? | ||
| They were saving working dogs on the battlefield in the trenches of World War I. That's how far back American humane goes. | ||
| They understand war and they understand that when we put these animals, right? | ||
| We are called to be stewards, right? | ||
| We're called to be stewards of creation and when we put those in harm's way, they're not volunteering. | ||
| They're there because we put them there. | ||
| But they have a big, but the people should understand, in the war effort, particularly in this thing where you're going into villages and stuff like that, it's a huge role. | ||
| Necessary, actually. | ||
| And so when the stories that have come out from SBCA International originally was there was a charter flight, and I believe these were contract working dogs, that they got left behind. | ||
| And there's a photo circulating now online of them being left behind in the crates. | ||
| And SPCA International has come out and said the update was, hey, we were able to get them out of the crates, but we couldn't get them on the charter aircraft. | ||
| Because of state. | ||
| We had lift capacity at the end. | ||
| Let them go. | ||
| Let them go at the airport. | ||
| Let them out. | ||
| We had lift capacity at the end. | ||
| There were empty planes. | ||
| We had, I just want to make sure. | ||
| There were planes with 50 people on them and the guys were putting up hammocks. | ||
| This is what I'm saying. | ||
| We had, it's not taking, I want to make sure people understand this. | ||
| We're not complaining about, this did not take the place of any human, either soldiers or whatever, human beings, and there weren't enough people coming through the gates. | ||
| They wouldn't let people come through. | ||
| So when planes took off, there was empty capacity, right? | ||
| There was capacity for these dogs. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You leave them in the crate. | ||
| That's why they're in the crates, by the way. | ||
| They're in the crate so you can load it directly onto the plane and then they say, all right, good to go. | ||
| Have a good time. | ||
| Hey, you're going to, you know, on the way to UK, it's going to be six hours, seven, whatever it is, but you're going to be alive, right? | ||
| You're going to be safe. | ||
| That's the whole reason they were putting crates at the airport in the first place. | ||
| They couldn't get them on. | ||
| So they opened the crates and they let them loose and they're just running straight at the airport now. | ||
| Well, they're not going to run straight for long because as you know, dogs are not highly regarded. | ||
| I have to be to say this, dogs are not highly regarded in that part of the world, right? | ||
| No, they don't view animals the way we view animals. | ||
| They don't view animals, but they particularly don't view dogs as the way that... Yeah, a dog is considered unclean, so it's something that, you know, it's a tool that at best will be chained up outside somebody's house, you know, at worst There are times, and I'll just say this, there are times that the Taliban has used dogs to check for landmines and unexploded ordnance. | ||
| And then so they send the dog out and then, oh, you found your landmine. | ||
| How did this... when you have... | ||
| The refugee problem that they got down to the 10th decimal place since they've been working it since April, every day with meetings. | ||
| The Air Force General walked you through it? | ||
| It's all planned out. | ||
| When folks get to Dulles, they've got culturally appropriate food, right? | ||
| Ted Cruz is saying we got Ubers for him. | ||
| They got Ubers, you're playing soccer, you're doing everything. | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
| And on the other hand, and there's not an American that would sit there with one of these service dogs of what they've done for American fighting men and women in these situations. | ||
| Well not only that, but talk about the compassion, you gotta get the dog out. | ||
| The psychological toll, I know you had my friend Tom Sauer on yesterday talking about the psychological toll Of knowing that you had a dog that you went with into harm's way. | ||
| That maybe saved you. | ||
| That maybe saved you. | ||
| That you went into the maw with. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| The maw of the dragon with. | ||
| And now you're leaving that dog behind and you're on an airplane. | ||
| Walk us through, I want to bring up another topic here that's all part of the same but I need you to articulate it because you and I talk non-stop and I know you're in the middle of it with all these different groups. | ||
| What is the And Sauer was fabulous. | ||
| You turned me on to Sauer in that Twitter feed. | ||
| What is the sense of... Tom and I were in the same unit at one point together. | ||
| He likes to joke, because he's of course the EOD tech. | ||
| He would say, oh, Jack was my Intel weenie. | ||
| Tom's blowing stuff up. | ||
| Jack's telling him where to blow it up. | ||
| The feedback from the junior officer corps and the senior enlisted about what has transpired here. | ||
| What is the sense of folks? | ||
| And be brutally frank. | ||
| It's not even just junior officers. | ||
| You got mid grade now. | ||
| It's it's honestly that the weirdest thing is that the cutoff seems to be that 06 level. | ||
| So if you're 06, and if you're post command, which means essentially like you're not on the track for star, you're not on the track for 07. | ||
| 06 would be Navy Captain above and Colonel Army. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So that means you're not you're not, you're you're not destined for a star, you're not going to be getting that, that flag. | ||
| And by the way, Lt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Col. | |
| Lohmeyer and Lt. | ||
| Col. | ||
| Scheller are just right below that. | ||
| Oh yeah, by the way, these are guys who, had they stayed in... It's ironic that they're at the Lt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Col. | |
| level, one level below. | ||
| Right, so had they kept their mouths shut, right, they could easily be... and that's the idea, right? | ||
| You keep your mouth shut and you fast track and you're on your way up, you get colonel, and then maybe, you know, it gets very political at the top like that because there's only so many splots available, but you know, you try to and you go for your flag. | ||
| Everyone six and below, all the way up to the 06 level, is disgusted. | ||
| People are saying, I'm done with this. | ||
| I'm gonna drop papers. | ||
| I'm gonna get out. | ||
| This isn't what I signed up for. | ||
| This isn't the competence I signed up for. | ||
| There's a sense of shame. | ||
| There's a real sense of shame of being associated with an organization like that. | ||
| It's like when you're at Enron in the last days, and people are saying, all right, I don't want to be the last one holding the bag here. | ||
| How do I get out? | ||
| But what's crazy is you go to the 07 level, and everything's great. | ||
| We're following everything. | ||
| More competencies. | ||
| Everything's wonderful. | ||
| This is Berlin Airlift. | ||
| Berlin Airlift. | ||
| They're clapping in the White House. | ||
| My people in the White House are telling me that when the last plane took off, they burst into applause in the White House, like they had just accomplished something amazing. | ||
| This also, and unlike getting around to doing something else, is that people understand when they go here, not only are you going to go in harm's way, but you're never going to be... Understand, I'm not going to get paid as much, right? | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| The pay's not going to be the same. | ||
| It's going to be the rest of my family. | ||
| I'm going to be in harm's way. | ||
| But I do that for pride in that group. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And for pride in the purpose and what we're accomplishing for the nation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So when you're talking about someone at that level, you've put in 10 plus years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| That's 10 plus years of your life. | ||
| That's holidays you've missed. | ||
| That's birthdays you've missed. | ||
| That's school plays for your kids. | ||
| That's marriages that have fallen apart. | ||
| And it's all in service to your country. | ||
| You know, that's all for... And you've never complained about that. | ||
| For King and Crown. | ||
| And you've never complained about that because you've done multiple tours. | ||
| But now, You're actually saying, what is the purpose of this? | ||
| And what is the purpose of this? | ||
| Because you've got people saying, what was it all for? | ||
| What, what was it all for? | ||
| When they're seeing these, and you see the images right now, you got, you know, seeing them behind you, of, of the airport, where just a few days ago, right, you had people doing emergency medical care, you had people trying to help out, the very airport where those 13 kids, kids, drive that home, these were kids, where they lost their lives, that airport, and we're seeing the images, is now being overrun by Taliban Wearing our uniforms, using our equipment. | ||
| Folks, and I'm here to tell you, it's gonna get worse. | ||
| It's gonna get worse. | ||
| People think, by the way, the Democrats, the politics of it, they think they can change the conversation with the spending bills, although we're going to stop them on the debt ceiling. | ||
| We've got 100 Republicans now to sign up to this letter because the Republicans are getting woke because this audience is forcing them to get woke. | ||
| Not going to let these guys go through the past. | ||
| We also understand there's a big story in Politico about how Biden wants to think they can get through this by spending, but the bottom of it, it's about Henry, I think, Cuellar down in Laredo. | ||
| It's the Rio Grande Valley, where, obviously, one of the young Lance Corporals comes from. | ||
| It always goes back, doesn't it? | ||
| But he's nervous as all get it. | ||
| He says, hey, we've lost the independents. | ||
| They're absolutely petrified about the retribution here by the American people. | ||
| They understand... No, because people know what this feels like. | ||
| This feels like... | ||
| This feels like the money that gets left on the dresser, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| They're gonna say, oh yeah, just take the money, right? | ||
| But they know. | ||
| They know where it comes from. | ||
| This isn't something you can spend your way out of, right? | ||
| This is shame. | ||
| This is humiliation. | ||
| This is the stench of failure. | ||
| That's why you don't see, by the way, any big-name Democrats coming out right now. | ||
| Where's Barack Obama? | ||
| Where's the generals? | ||
| Where's Mattis? | ||
| Where's any of these guys, you know, these great leaders, you know, these one of them, Where's all Mad Dog with the bomber jacket, remember? | ||
| Where's he? | ||
| Where's he in any of it? | ||
| John Kelly, remember, the Chief of Staff? | ||
| Where are all of these great, wise leaders that told us that they knew the only way through? | ||
| You got McMaster out there saying, well, you know, I think the only thing we can do is just re-invade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the only thing. | |
| Yeah, he's saying Trump. | ||
| Here's the thing on the pineapple. | ||
| The pineapple, if you can engage, because right now we need every member of the, everybody that fought in Afghanistan, everybody that fought in Iraq, everybody that fought in the desert war, you know, everybody that's fought right before 9-11, right afterwards, to me has to get involved in politics now. | ||
| You've got to put your shoulders to the wheel. | ||
| You're called back to do it again. | ||
| If you want to change it, if you want to stop what's happening, you've got to get engaged. | ||
| And a lot of, by the way, and when we're talking about that officer corps, We're just gonna say it, folks. | ||
| A lot of these guys voted for Biden. | ||
| A lot of those JGs, a lot of those guys, especially if you're stationed in and around DC, you want to be part of the clique, you want to be part of the, you know, the elite bunch, the elite set, you're voting for Biden. | ||
| You got to. | ||
| I hope there's a little bit of reflection that goes in behind that. | ||
| I hope that when you're sitting down, when you're looking at yourself in the mirror, you think, did I do the right thing? | ||

| Jack Passova, I want to finish up on the... It's so cruel when you had lift capacity and they weren't letting any more American citizens or allies through. | ||
| You had lift capacity. | ||
| I just don't understand the logic in not bringing the dogs back. | ||
| I just don't get it. | ||
| Look, you know, it all goes back to state. | ||
| It says they didn't want to approve it because they, again, this wasn't one of the contingencies that they had thought of. | ||
| They thought, oh, the military is just going to take care of that. | ||
| The contractor is just going to take care of that. | ||
| So let me let me tell you what we're doing. | ||
| As a way to respond and call attention to this issue, you know, raise awareness about it. | ||
| So earlier today, I went on Twitter and I spent most of the morning working on a secret project that will be announced in a couple of weeks. | ||
| But right before I went in to start working on that, I said, I said, we need to do something to raise awareness about these military dogs that got left behind. | ||
| So what we're going to do is we're going to use the hashtag, no paws left behind. | ||
| And then what I want people to do is post a picture of your dog, and some people are posting pictures of cats, if you don't have a dog that's fine as well, and just post a picture of that to commemorate the service dogs that were left behind with the withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan. | ||
| Steve, I gotta tell you, I came back about an hour and a half later, just to look at Twitter or something, my phone blew up, I look at Twitter, Number three trend nationwide. | ||
| Number three story in the world. | ||
| Hashtag no paws left behind. | ||
| So you do that folks. | ||
| You share a picture. | ||
| If you're a veteran and if you worked with one of these working dogs. | ||
| I know a lot of people they take the dogs home when they when they hit end of service. | ||
| Because they hit end of service and they still have years of life left. | ||
| Five, six years of life left. | ||
| You know, they take them home, they make them part of the family, they bring them home with them. | ||
| You've seen movies about this. | ||
| Folks, we can't do it. | ||
| We can't allow this to go unquestioned. | ||
| We can't allow this to go unanswered. | ||
| So it's hashtag no pause left behind. | ||
| And by the way, just to throw out there, I know there's a lot of groups that are trying to raise money off the back of this, and there are people saying, oh, come with me, give me money, and I'll help you. | ||
| Look, I'm not endorsing any of those at this point. | ||
| Use your due diligence. | ||
| We know the groups that are American Humane, they've been around since 1877, right? | ||
| Use the groups that have been around for a long time. | ||
| Are there any veterans groups going to get involved in this? | ||
| A veterans group that would be associated with these dogs would be important, I think. | ||
| Since I realized how big this has gotten, I am putting some feelers out with that. | ||
| I've had some feelers that have been put out with that, but I haven't got it to the point where I can announce anything right now. | ||
| So I'm not going to do that just out of fairness to everybody because I'm not going to ask people to put money somewhere that I don't have full faith in myself. | ||
| Nigel is, by the way, Nigel Farage, he loves this show and he watches it all the time as we watch his show. | ||
| He just wanted me to remind the audience that in talking about the competence and the planning, and they've been planning since the refugees since April, he wanted us to remind the audience at Dunkirk They didn't leave anything behind. | ||
| Not a tank, not a jeep, nothing. | ||
| What they did was burned it all. | ||
| The stuff they couldn't get off the beach, they took time and torched it. | ||
| The French army was helping us hold that. | ||
| The Germans get it. | ||
| Not only do they have material, now they know how to use your machines. | ||
| It's also a psychological thing. | ||
| Look, the Taliban and these guys know optics and they know symbolism and everything like that. | ||
| They didn't think about how smart they had to be to mock us on Mount Suribachi, about the Mount Suribachi. | ||
| Well, I remember too. | ||
| They took our special forces uniforms, they did the exact same pose as those brave marines on Mount Suribachi. | ||
| By the way, the reason they came to Abbey Gate is because of the symbolism in the photographs throughout the world that showed the Afghan people tossing their babies up there, handing their children. | ||
| Literally in the sewer. | ||
| They had that open sewage drain right there. | ||
| There's people crossing the sewer with their children, handing it to an American soldier. | ||
| Over the barbed wire. | ||
| Over the barbed wire, because they know that if I go to America, when I see that, that is the value of the American flag around the world. | ||
| The American flag that gets disrespected here in the United States, that's burned by Antifa, that people want to protest against. | ||
| When you go around the world and they see that American flag on someone's shoulder, they know who that is. | ||
| And Nigel Farage, I mean, Nigel Farage knows military history, he knows the importance, the symbolism of this is so important. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, when Biden says, and today he's going to say, by the way, address to the nation, I just want to say it again, at 2.45 in the afternoon, before the sundowner. | ||
| Has he given an address after 5pm? | ||
| Not a serious address, like the last five on Afghanistan. | ||
| Why can't he do primetime? | ||
| How do you address the nation on something of this import and do it? | ||
| They've won it at 1.30. | ||
| In the middle of the workday. | ||
| First of all, it was originally at 1.30. | ||
| It's the morning out on the West Coast. | ||
| A third of the country, what, 25% of the country lives out there. | ||
| You can't even make it to the War Room afternoon show. | ||
| No. | ||
| By the way, I said the reason they're bumping back 1.30 to 2.45, I'm not trying to be snarky, is that that's what it takes. | ||
| Because Jill's still giving him the mashed peas and the peaches, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The bib is still... Gotta get the power nap in. | |
| They can't let him have the repeat of that Prime Minister situation with the Israelis. | ||
| Okay, do we have... I want to bring Captain Bannon up. | ||
| By the way, we're going to do a reprise of her tribute to these fallen heroes in the evening show. | ||
| Again, we're going to have a few more special things associated with it because the memory of these young men and women are incredible. | ||
| Also to mention, we can get it up... | ||
| Yesterday, the out music is from the movie Blackhawk Down. | ||
| I want to pay tribute to the fabulous movie. | ||
| Everybody should see Blackhawk Down multiple times because it's very similar to the fights we're fighting. | ||
| Blackhawk Down, that's one of the ones where the guys in that community, they've said, you know, a lot of these movies, you know, it's Hollywood, right? | ||
| But I've had a lot of people tell me they say Blackhawk Down, you know, that one, That's close. | ||
| That's really close. | ||
| And the irony is, yesterday, a statue was put up and honored in Maine for the Army Sniper. | ||
| The Army Sniper that was the guy that continued... he was awarded the Medal of Honor. | ||
| He's the one... Well, you saw that down at the Marine Memorial, they're doing candles. | ||
| Yes, for the 13th. | ||
| This was not for the 13th. | ||
| The memorial for him was scheduled to happen anyway. | ||
| It just happened to be yesterday. | ||
| In May, for the Army Sniper that was awarded the Medal of Honor, they had that. | ||
| Yesterday was the 245th anniversary of the extraction of George Washington. | ||
| They had the commemoration of the thing. | ||
| That's our DNA. | ||
| That's our DNA. | ||
| Remember, this Army Sniper Was the guy they turned down two times and says, I gotta go in? | ||
| They told him, when you're going in, you're not coming out, you're gonna be dead. | ||
| You know, I was calling you yesterday and I was driving up through central Virginia because there's a wedding in North Carolina. | ||
| We're driving up and we drove through this little town in just, you know, middle of nowhere, central Virginia called Pulaski. | ||
| I love Pulaski. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you talking about? | |
| It's God's country. | ||
| In County Pulaski. | ||
| Beautiful, right? | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pulaski's God's country. | |
| But think about it, right? | ||
| And for me, as a Polish kid, I'm all the way on the other side of the world, and I say, why is there a town called Pulaski in central Virginia? | ||
| Learn about the history of our heroes. | ||
| Learn about the history of those who came before to fight for freedom in this great experiment that we have here in the United States. | ||
| That town was named in honor of General Kashmir Pulaski, who came from Poland, because he said, you're fighting for freedom? | ||
| Then I'm your man. | ||
| We've got, and when Mo Bannon read the list of the 13th, we're from all over the country, right? | ||
| This fighting spirit's still here. | ||
| From Laredo, Texas, to Missouri, to California, it's still here. | ||
| It's still being passed down. | ||
| By the way, we're the vast majority of the country. | ||
| That's where we gotta start acting like the vast majority. | ||
| We're gonna throw these bums out. | ||
| Everybody take a deep breath. | ||
| But I do need you angry. | ||
| I need the anger to translate into a steely resolve. | ||
| But Steve, here's the issue. | ||
| The issue is this. | ||
| Old men start wars, young men die in them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Right? | ||
| This is something it's, and particularly for men, you know, when you're going, when you're that age, you know, you have that fighting spirit and you want to get it out, right? | ||
| You want to unleash. | ||
| That's why when you see these casualty lists, when you look at Vietnam, you look at Afghanistan, right? | ||
| It's not exactly guys in their thirties and forties, right? | ||
| It's teenagers, it's kids, it's people with their whole lives ahead of them. | ||
| But that's been the history of warfare, right? | ||
| That's always been the history of warfare. | ||
| So the question is then, for the leaders in places like we're sitting in now in Washington, D.C., steps away from Capitol Hill, when you are going to send them overseas, when you're putting them in positions like Abbey Gate, are you doing so with the full power of the United States military behind them, supporting them, or are you going to ask them to stand out there and link arms with no backup, with no support whatsoever. | ||
| That's the question. | ||
| This is why veterans of the Afghan War, the Iraq War, and the Gulf War have now to come together to answer the call of their country again to get involved in this movement and get involved in politics. | ||
| Maureen, I think we have the resignation letter of Colonel Scheller. | ||
| If you have that, are you back with us? | ||
| Can you read that? | ||
| I am. | ||
| From Lieutenant Colonel Stewart P. Scheller, Jr. | ||
| to the Secretary of the Navy, I tender my resignation of commission in the United States Marine Corps per the reference and request an effective date of 11 September 2021. | ||
| I do not desire to accept a commission in the United In the United States Marine Corps Reserve, I understand the Reserve Commission is not automatic and can only be granted at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. | ||
| I understand if I have adverse material on file, up to 12 months may be required to process my Reserve Commission. | ||
| My reason for submitting a letter of resignation, a lack of trust and confidence in your ability to lead. | ||
| Signed, S.T. | ||
| Scheller. | ||
| Wow, read that, please read the end of that again one more time so our audience can savor that. | ||
| My reason for submitting a letter of resignation, a lack of trust and confidence in your ability to lead. | ||
| Signed, S.P. | ||
| Scheller. | ||

|
Wow. | |
| Remember, in this whole fiasco, Of those 13 young men and women dead, of the parents sitting there going, Biden want to tell us more about Beau Biden. | ||
| He said this on his talk today. | ||
| He wants to spend more time talking about Beau Biden than about our children. | ||
| Of his sitting there and checking his watch. | ||
| And what I think is the most egregious, being fully vaccinated out on a tarmac with the wind, with 15 or 20 mile an hour winds, not being quasi-social distance, fully vaccinated, on their vaccines they said are bulletproof, not taking the mask off. | ||
| This is because to them the masks have become sacramental. | ||
| They've become theatrical. | ||
| They're part of this new sacrament. | ||
| And this goes back to, you know, the worship of the state and the idea that the state has now replaced God. | ||
| You know, of course, devout Catholic Joe Biden. | ||
| But for them, having the mask on is considered more solemn now. | ||
| It refused to take the mask off. | ||
| Wouldn't take it off. | ||
| In what, a 15-minute evolution? | ||
| With the glasses. | ||
| It wouldn't show his face. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's ashamed. | |
| I want to address that those parents said that he talked about Beau, so you're disrespecting them by talking about your son and not listening to the stories about their children, but then you disrespect them again by checking your watch. | ||
| Not once, but five times. | ||
| On the tarmac. | ||
| I do want to get to what you read this morning, Maureen. | ||
| New York Post is reporting that they've taken it down to Instagram. | ||
| I want to make sure we're clear here. | ||
| What you read this morning has already been taken down by the social media oligarchs? | ||
| So she posted a grieving post on Instagram first and then on Facebook. | ||
| And Instagram took down the post on Instagram that of her grieving and then Facebook has kept it up as of right now But she fears that that will also be taken down as well We need to reach out to these families, and we need to tell the stories. | ||
| We need to tell the stories of all of these 13, from my own shipmate in the Navy, to the rest of the Marines, to the Army soldier. | ||
| Tell them who were they as people. | ||
| We have to do that, but we have to also make sure that it's going to be a new day when we take over in 2022. | ||
| No more softball with these guys. | ||
| I've been telling people for a long time, these social media oligarchs have to be taken down. | ||
| These companies have to be broken up. | ||
| It's too powerful. | ||
| To take down the video of a woman who gave her son in defense of his country, and you are going to sit there and take that down? | ||
| You have the audacity and the nerve to not let that be seen by every human being? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| Come retribution, and it's gonna be legal retribution, but we got to play smash mouth when we take back over, okay? | ||
| We cannot allow this to continue on. | ||
| Who are they to take her video down? | ||
| Who are they? | ||
| What she's given, what she sacrificed for this nation, and what have they sacrificed? | ||
| These soy boy pencil knights, what have they done? | ||
| She gave the ultimate sacrifice, her son, in defense of his country. | ||

| We've had a situation with a mother of a fallen veteran, Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Read it this morning. | ||
| It's been banned on Instagram, I think. | ||
| But it brings me back, and Moe probably was, she hadn't gone to West Point yet or was just getting there, Sidney Sheehan, down in Crawford, Texas. | ||
| Tell me about that, the reception of Sidney Sheehan by the mainstream media versus what's happening here. | ||
| So back, Sidney Sheehan had lost her son in 2004. | ||
| She became a cause celeb of the left and the media. | ||
| Uh, throughout the 2004 re-elect. | ||
| She then, in 2005, sent up this makeshift camp outside the Bush compound. | ||
| He had that sort of, like, eco, eco ranch down in Crawford, Texas. | ||
| He brought, uh, Jangsim in there. | ||
| He brought Putin there. | ||
| Put the, he put the cowboy hats on, riding around in a pickup truck. | ||
| And Jangsim is sitting there going, Why are you disrespecting me like this? | ||
| Putting me in a pickup truck, right? | ||
| This is where he looked into the eyes of Putin. | ||
| A Christian soul brother. | ||
| He doesn't understand it. | ||
| So, Cindy Sheehan, who is this mother, and we respect Cindy Sheehan, by the way. | ||
| We respect Cindy Sheehan a lot. | ||
| She's the mother of a fallen hero. | ||
| Mother of a fallen hero. | ||
| Gold Star mother. | ||
| Period. | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Her politics, that's not even part of the discussion, right? | ||
| But the media is part of the discussion. | ||
| That's what we're talking about here. | ||
| They had a thousand cameras... Unbelievable. | ||
| ...on that tent where she set up outside the Bush compound. | ||
| If you pulled back and looked over the tent to think, it's BBC, it's NHK, it's MSNBC, it's, remember, Oberyn? | ||
| They had the biggest haters. | ||
| It was non-stop. | ||
| This was... It was non-stop. | ||
| And Maddox. | ||
| Maddox, when she got her start, it was back then. | ||
| Now, you know, when she could still work five days a week. | ||
| Before he drove her out of here. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And then, so, Cindy got that. | ||
| Shana Chappell. | ||
| right, who's the mother today, gets banned. Social media won't even let her on. So I want people to understand this is the power of social media is not going to talk about this. The media is not going to talk about the families of these 13. They're not going to tell you the words of these parents, right? They're going to say, oh, oops, you know, it's very sad, but you know, we have to No, it's worse than that. | ||
| They had the thing, we'll play it again today, they had the MSNBC coverage of Dover, and they're sitting there going, he's Counselor-in-Chief, he knows so much grieving, he's had so much tragedy in his family, this is where he can really empathize, this is where Joe Biden's best, and now we get the story from the parents, we don't want to talk, all he talked about was his son. | ||
| Joe Biden, this isn't about you. | ||
| For once in your life, this isn't about you, right? | ||
| This isn't about you. | ||
| We understand the stories, right? | ||
| We understand all that. | ||
| But this isn't about... This is about those 13 and what they did and the families and these mothers, right? | ||
| Who made this... They gave their sons and daughters for this country. | ||
| This is about them. | ||
| And now Facebook comes down and bans her. | ||
| Won't even let her share her opinion. | ||
| Do you feel that, folks? | ||
| Do you understand that? | ||
| That's why, and I've said this before, if this Congress, if these Republicans want to take back Congress... | ||
| It's gotta be all about social media. | ||
| That is the key. | ||
| That is the lynchpin. | ||
| Because if you do not have the ability to speak, if you don't have the ability to communicate, you know, getter is there, but they'll go after getter, right? | ||
| They'll go after getter the way they went after other ones in the past. | ||
| They'll kick them off the stores. | ||
| They'll take them off the networks. | ||
| They can do what they want to do, right? | ||
| And Jason, I love you, man, but They will do this when they decide to. | ||
| That's why you need the allies, you need the legislative fix on this. | ||
| First of all, no Republicans, Jim Jordan, these guys shouldn't be taking a penny from these guys anymore. | ||
| Once we return to power in 2022, it's to take them apart. | ||
| Will we give them absolution? | ||
| No, impossible. | ||
| No absolution? | ||
| No absolution, sorry guys. | ||
| Captain Bannon, you read it at the beginning. | ||
| Give me your thoughts and observations. | ||
| Of how outrageous this is. | ||
| By the way, this is a cause celeb now. | ||
| When she comes across country, we want every patriot group to welcome her. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because this is going to be a pilgrimage coming across country till she confronts Joe Biden. | ||
| Captain Bannon. | ||
| It's despicable that Instagram would do this. | ||
| And also the fact that Joe Biden would bring up Beau. | ||
| He had a chance to say goodbye to Beau. | ||
| These families did not have a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones. | ||
| And it is on Joe, the reason they came off that airplane in transfer cases. | ||
| So he, like Jack said, it's not about him. | ||
| He needs, he needed to have been silent and listen to those families and hear the stories about their loved ones and not even mention Beau. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I agree. | |
| Everyone needs to join her when she comes across the country and stand up for this. | ||
| Yeah, we gotta make this a thing. | ||
| One point I will throw out there that, you know, he does bring up the burn pits when it comes to his son, and that is a real issue. | ||
| The burn pits and the people that have smoke inhalation from those burn pits. | ||
| I don't know if that's exactly what affected Beau or not, but for the people that are still alive, I have friends that are dealing with this, that are dealing with lung issues, that are dealing with all sorts of issues because of burn pits. | ||
| That's fine, but that's for a different place and time. | ||
| And that's a great discussion, that's not this discussion. | ||
| Yes, that's not in a time, like the father told him, We don't need to hear your story. | ||
| You need to hear and understand and embrace ours, right? | ||
| And that's what he refuses to do. | ||
| Sir, you're the President of the United States. | ||
| Act like it. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| Is he legitimate? | ||
| You're occupying the desk, sir. | ||
| You're keeping the seat warm for Kamala. | ||
| Have respect for those 13 servants members. | ||
| Respect that they gave their lives because of your So listen to what, like I said before, listen to what those families had to say and don't bring up your story. | ||
| That's why he had to take the mask off. | ||
| To show respect for him, he had to take the mask off. | ||
| Pasovic nailed it. | ||
| It's sacramental now to the overstate, right? | ||
| To the overstate. | ||
| It's sacramental. | ||
| It's a disgrace. | ||
| As bad as the watch was, it was terrible. | ||
| They all do the elbow thing. | ||
| That's like a little symbol. | ||
| It's all virtue signaling, right? | ||
| This has become sacramental. | ||
| This is, you know, have you, oh, you know, which shot did you get, right? | ||
| This is, of course, you know, why would you ask a personal medical question like that? | ||
| But this is all sacramental. | ||
| This is all part of believing that the state, the overstate, is the source of all that is good, a source of all that is right and true. | ||
| Mo, what is your social media handle? | ||
| So then I turn back to Posobiec. | ||
| What are they? | ||
| On Twitter and Getter, it's Maureen underscore Bannon. | ||
| And hot on the gram, it's at real Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Okay, Human Events is all over this, I know. | ||
| How do people get to you, Pasobo? | ||
| Yeah, you gotta go to humanevents.com. | ||
| We're gonna have all the breaking stuff there. | ||
| When I can verify things, we'll have it. | ||
| And get on Getter. | ||
| We may have to make our last stand on Getter. | ||
| Getter, I think, is the last stand. | ||
| You gotta get there. | ||
| Because you're getting wiped out. | ||
| This thing on Instagram is outrageous. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna cover it all. | ||
