|---|---|---|
| Okay, welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| I want to go now, we're going to pivot. | ||
| By the way, so much news going on, it's incredible. | ||
| The signal, not the noise, as we told you. | ||
| This regime, and I don't care what the mainstream media, they can't sell it anymore. | ||
| Because the facts on the ground, whether it's economic facts, whether it's facts about the invasion of the southern border, whether it's about this debacle and fiasco in Afghanistan, in Central Asia, people's lying eyes see what's going on, right? | ||
| And so they can have all the Rachel Maddow spin, the Chris Hayes spin, the Anderson Cooper, and even some of those guys that kind of turned on it because of the gross recklessness, not incompetence, gross recklessness of this administration. | ||
| But the math, it always gets back to the math. | ||
| That's what we always try to bring up, you know, always try to back everything up with the receipts. | ||
| Brass, moss, and pulp, 42% approval by the American people, 56% disapproval. | ||
| When you get upside down like that, and particularly this early in a regime, you can't come back. | ||
| You can't come back, right? | ||
| You can't come back. | ||
| The important thing, the proxy for what the American people really think is not that That gross number, because it imputes or takes into account the still 90% of the Democrats that support him. | ||
| Because remember, orange man bad, orange man bad. | ||
| So they've never given up on Biden, right? | ||
| Although I haven't seen this poll, maybe it's 85%, 88%. | ||
| The key, the proxy to where he stands with the country is the independents. | ||
| Yesterday, and if we can pull it, maybe pull this thing, that they had an issue about how Biden's politically going to get past Afghanistan. | ||
| And I think it was Henry Cuellar, the congressman from down in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| There's three districts down in the Rio Grande Valley that, you know, Vela, I think Gonzales, and Vila, Gonzales, and I think Cuellar. | ||
| These are tough, smart politicians. | ||
| And he said at the end, Last two paragraphs, the political story buried the lead at the very end. | ||
| He said, hey, we've lost the independents. | ||
| Says we're gonna have a tough fight in 2022. | ||
| Vila retired. | ||
| The key thing here is now the retirements. | ||
| Like, like Ryan retired in 18. | ||
| And they let him stick around, the shit kicked him out. | ||
| He retired in 18, just walked away from Trump, right? | ||
| I believe you're going to see Nancy Pelosi try to jam these two spending bills in, and I'm not so sure she doesn't throw in the towel and ride off into the sunset and give it to Hakeem Jeffries' speakership in October or November, okay? | ||
| You're starting to see the retirement of guys that are saying, hey, I get a better shot at being a lobbyist, not losing in a general to some right-wing Republican. | ||
| And the key to this is going to be the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| The other thing, yesterday in Politico, another story. | ||
| Remember, Politico is not Trump-friendly, right? | ||
| It's anti-Trump. | ||
| But if you go down into the buried leads of the story, it's still smartly reported if you know how to look. | ||
| They had a huge story on Gavin Newsom in California, right? | ||
| Headline, Newsom's under real pressure on this September 14th recall. | ||
| As we keep saying, the recall's over. | ||
| Whoever wins is whoever wins. | ||
| It's the getting recalled. | ||
| And they basically said they can't push it as a Trump movement piece, because it's not. | ||
| The reason? | ||
| The problem they've got is with the Latino and Hispanic community in California. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Of just what has happened with California under these Democrats' watch. | ||
| Remember, a huge portion of the Hispanic community, working class Hispanics, traditional families, traditional values, Super patriotic, right? | ||
| I think it's what I want to say of the 11 Marines, I think five of the Marines are of Hispanic descent, right? | ||
| In particular, we get talk about the Southwest United States. | ||
| You've got a lot of volunteers, the Marine Corps to these rifle platoons, right? | ||
| These rifle companies, the infantry. | ||
| That's the toughest of the tough are from Hispanic descent. | ||
| Right there in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| That's going to be the key that picks a lock in 2022. | ||
| OK, I want to go to Frank Wuko now, who's a senior member of the Trump administration and DHS. | ||
| He knows everything about radical jihad. | ||
| He's been on this watch for many, many years. | ||
| I got to ask you, Frank, first, your assessment of Joe Biden's. | ||
| We had a bunch of clips we were going to play, but, you know, we played one. | ||
| You actually start the five o'clock show. | ||
| I went back to the clips. | ||
| I just I can't I can't I can't take it anymore. | ||
| But what's your assessment of Biden's a Biden speech yesterday? | ||
|
unidentified
|
My assessment, watching it, and as much as we can try to sort of distance ourselves from our philosophies, if I didn't know who he was, and I didn't know he was the President of the United States, and I just turned on my TV, I would have wondered, why is this guy yelling at everybody? | |
| Why is he scolding everybody? | ||
| Why is he blaming everybody? | ||
| Why is he disempowering the people who actually need help? | ||
| I thought it was one of the worst speeches I had ever seen, and it was a full-throated defense of dozens of deadly mistakes that have been made over the past couple of months. | ||
| So I was astounded by Steve, actually. | ||
| I couldn't believe, like many other people, that he was actually blaming the American citizens who were abandoned Listen, this administration and our Department of Defense, not all of them. | ||
| I know everybody likes to defend the rank-and-file. | ||
| I've been the rank-and-file. | ||
| Steve, you've been the rank-and-file. | ||
| But we never leave. | ||
| We never, ever leave until we've evacuated non-combatants. | ||
| We are the last to leave. | ||
| The fact that he was defending their actions and actually blaming and scolding The abandoned in Afghanistan, who we're now trying to help, was astounding to me. | ||
| I thought it was... Okay, I want to bring up... I asked you to do that because I want to tell the audience, you're one of the guys at the working level, getting stuff done for President Trump on his agenda. | ||
| And you've been not just a student, but a practitioner of standing up to this radical jihad for many, many decades. | ||
| Tell people what, here's what I wanted to ask you, for you and the guys out there doing this, because we're inundated all day long about so many amazing people that have answered the trumpet. | ||
| Special operators, CIA paramilitary, people who are not trying to bring, you know, just undocumented refugees here, but know people specifically that worked with them and fought with them in Afghanistan, and not even saying they got to come to the United States, but they just got to get out of there. | ||
| Tell the audience what you've been doing and how, given your Efforts and others colleagues efforts to really save people. | ||
| How did that speech play yesterday? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was it was actually horrible. | |
| I mean if you could have seen the chatter on these various threads that I copy, you know, like you said these concerned citizens who are now no longer actively affiliated with with the military many retired and past members. | ||
| They were comments just expressing dumbfoundedness and shock, quite honestly. | ||
| People couldn't believe that he was actually scolding the people that we're now trying to help. | ||
| You know, it was just we had to get about our business of doing things like arranging airlift, which is very, very expensive. | ||
| Multiple aircraft, multiple planes, our own negotiations with people on the ground, our own people on the ground. | ||
| Right now, and folks scattered all over the world, literally, on secure chat sites, trying to get this done, while our president, who buttoned up the mission before we got all of our noncombatants out, is actually scolding the people we're trying to help in the effort. | ||
| And that was a general tone of all of the commentary. | ||
| I couldn't think of one comment that was positive about the president's speech. | ||
| And we want to at the appropriate time. | ||
| You've got the Pineapple Express. | ||
| You've got all these other different groups. | ||
| We want to make sure there's total OPSEC, operational security, so people can get it out. | ||
| But eventually we want to make sure those stories get told. | ||
| One of the things that shocked me from people I know that are working this program non-stop is how the State Department, under Blinken, and directly reporting it to Biden, is working not at cross-purposes. | ||
| Cross-purposes would be one thing. | ||
| But here's where they're actually telling the governments in the area, don't work with these people. | ||
| Don't let them bring people out. | ||
| And people are saying, hey, they just want the government to do everything, and it's maybe because they want to flow all this right back to Dulles Airport and to the United States, the bases. | ||
| They don't want, which our theory of the case is, you've got to save the people that work with you, and the best way to save them is to know that you knew them personally, but they've got to stay in the region. | ||
| But what has been this adamant work of the Biden administration, at least from what I've heard from all these practitioners that are out there 24-7, and people knew these guys, these men and women, they are working non-stop. | ||
| And look, they're raising money, it's often their own money, and this is extremely dangerous because they're not going in. | ||
| I mean, a lot of these folks, all these folks are very experienced in the neighborhood and very experienced individuals. | ||
| But it's still dangerous from all different, from financial risk, potential liability, and then personal and physical risk because there are guys going in there. | ||
| What is your thoughts about the State Department, at least when I'm talking to dozens of people like you working, saying, hey, the State Department's trying to shut this down for reasons they can't fathom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, you know, maintaining some as good OPSEC as I can here during this conversation, I would say you're absolutely right. | |
| I mean, the luminaries inside the Harry S. Truman building right now, Are not at all pleased that this mass, massive, flat, large, and flexible, agile group of people are getting this work done on the ground in Afghanistan right now. | ||
| Listen, nobody's getting paid for this. | ||
| People are actually losing money on this. | ||
| Millions of dollars in personal income have probably already been lost in the last couple of weeks. | ||
| And people certainly putting their lives at risk. | ||
| I will say that there are individuals, and it's down to the individual level, within our government agencies and State Department included, that are making an effort to ensure that our passages, our airspace passages, are at least safe and cleared. | ||
| But this is not a concerted department-wide effort. | ||
| But I don't want to necessarily, you know, besmirch the activity of, you know, every single person affiliated with the State Department. | ||
| Again, I wish I could make the rank-and-file comment, but this is something much smaller than the general rank-and-file, but it has been extremely tough getting the assistance that we really need to make sure that our airlift, this air wing we've assembled, is able to Move freely, safely, and get our people out. | ||
| Okay, I want to turn now to the strategic. | ||
| And I didn't have my I don't have my cover of The Economist. | ||
| I went to a meeting and had to take it to show people. | ||
| But have we allowed after 20 years and $2 trillion just in Afghanistan and 2200 dead, more contractors and PTSD with 20 a day of soldiers, airmen and Marines, taking their lives suicide? | ||
| Have we basically allowed for a terrorist super state to be created right in the heart of Central Asia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, Steve. | |
| I mean, you know, you and I have known each other for a few years. | ||
| We've been having this conversation for a number of years. | ||
| I've been having this conversation for 20 years, going back to the time that I was working and helping run the analytical red team at CENTCOM, whose purpose was actually to, you know, become these people to take a deep dive into the mindset and worldview of this enemy, the Taliban, | ||
| Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and really people who strictly adhere to the strictures of Islam, the Quran, the Hadith, and make no mistake about it, Steve, they're all united, their funding is international, they're very well supported, they're silently supported globally by many people in the population worldwide. | ||
| There is a very, very strong likelihood that we're going to see a very quick return to the pre-9-11 status. | ||
| I'll caveat that with saying that our focus, our intelligence assets overhead, on the ground, and locally, are better focused on the problem than they were before 9-11. | ||
| We really just it's like turning back the clock to a point when before 9-11 happened and the establishment now that the unification of these these groups globally is is going to be a problem that we haven't even begun to think about or fathom yet. | ||
| You know, they were trying to lay out last night that this is the beginning of the Biden doctrine, right? | ||
| But it's really the celebratory nature of the jihadist. | ||
| That's the reality, right? | ||
| That's the signal. | ||
| He's the noise. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's correct. | |
| You know, the jihadists, the committed, believe there are one of two ways this can play out. | ||
| If you are a committed mujahid, you're in the battle first to fight for a moment. | ||
| I'm speaking as a Mujahid, to fight just one moment in Jihad, and I'm not talking about the daily struggles, that's not Jihad, I'm talking about battle. | ||
| That is better than a lifetime of deeds, a lifetime of paying alms, a lifetime of charity, just to fight one moment in actual battle as a Mujahid. | ||
| If they fail in their endeavors, then that's taken theologically as a sign that This was not an act of God, but it was the act of the maladjusted ego of an individual. | ||
| The fact that the Taliban has come marching back into Afghanistan is a clear signal to them that God has prevailed, that God was on their side. | ||
| They think of this strictly in theological terms. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Put a pin on that. | ||
| We're going to come right back to you. | ||
| Stick around. | ||
| Okay, welcome back to War Room. | ||
| It's Thursday. | ||
| It's the 1st of September already, so we've got to run up to the holidays at the end of the year, right after Labor Day next week. | ||
| We've got September, October, November, December. | ||
| There's going to be four. | ||
| Really intense month. | ||
| Do you think it's been intense so far? | ||
| I think the intensity level is going to really ratchet up because now this regime to save itself has one idea how to save itself. | ||
| And that is it's going to try to buy off the American people. | ||
| It's going to try to buy off with this expansion of the social safety net. | ||
| Unfortunately, they're going to hit a wall, and that wall is the debt ceiling. | ||
| We've had 100 Republicans sign the letter so far, but that's the hill we're going to die on, on stopping this, okay? | ||
| They're stopping this madness. | ||
| That's the last thing the regime can do as it implodes before the entire world's eyes, right? | ||
| But I want to go back to Frank Wu. | ||
| We've got Frank Gaffney. | ||
| He's going to come on in a second. | ||
| Frank Rucco, this gets to my point. | ||
| We talked about the apparatuses and the military and we left $80 billion and we'll get you back on it. | ||
| Or are we working with the Taliban? | ||
| Are they trying to keep them up? | ||
| Are we paying tribute to the Taliban? | ||
| But at the end of it... | ||
| This is a spiritual war, right? | ||
| Our opponents in this, and this is not the folks in Islam, but the jihadists, and particularly radical Islam, view this, and they view it yesterday as an incredible victory. | ||
| A bigger victory than taking down the Soviet Union, a bigger victory than taking down the British Empire, a bigger victory even because Alexander the Great was before Islam. | ||
| But this was the main event. | ||
| And you can see the celebratory thing. | ||
| In fact, if we can play... | ||
| On the B-roll, if I can have Denver play... So they're all in our uniforms now, right? | ||
| They're all dressed in the uniforms we left behind. | ||
| They're in the American Special Forces. | ||
| They've mocked us by doing Mount Suribachi. | ||
| But that's not the worst, that they mocked us. | ||
| And I want everybody in this audience, so we can get the footage up of the funerals, of the fake funerals. | ||
| They had the caskets, or the coffins, draped in the French flag, the flag of France, the flag of Great Britain, and the flags of the United States, and they're celebrating. | ||
| They're doing a celebratory burying of our troops. | ||
| Our troops. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Our troops. | ||
| Our troops. | ||
| And I want everybody's nose to get rubbed into that. | ||
| Because the mainstream media won't show it. | ||
| They won't show what the reality is. | ||
| You have to embrace, you have to, and that's why I love Wukong, I love Gaffney, and others. | ||
| They have trained themselves to think like our enemy thinks. | ||
| The first way you have to do this is you have to think, because the enemy gets a vote. | ||
| The enemy gets a big vote. | ||
| Particularly when it's not about equipment, it's not about material, it's not about all this. | ||
| This is why I made such a big deal about the American Thermopylae, the 245th anniversary on Friday of the regiment in Maryland standing in Brooklyn. | ||
| And then on Monday, the American Dunkirk. | ||
| We had Patrick K. O'Donnell wrote both books. | ||
| The 245th Anniversary to the day of the first extraction under fire. | ||
| That's what we called the series, the extraction under fire. | ||
| I knew those dates were going to come up. | ||
| Because there, the Americans were completely outnumbered. | ||
| Remember, the Declaration of Independence is negotiated and signed in July 4th. | ||
| They'd already sent the fleet over. | ||
| There were, I think, 350 ships or 400 ships. | ||
| This was the greatest Navy in world history. | ||
| And they sent everything they had, plus merchant ships, into New York Harbor as a shore force. | ||
| They were not prepared to let this empire... They understood, even more than India, what North America meant. | ||
| Remember, they'd already gone through this huge global conflict, the Seven Years' War. | ||
| One of the central parts of it, it wasn't a thing, but one of the central parts of it was to drive the French out of Canada, because they understood they had this virgin territory, this massive virgin forest. | ||
| They were not prepared to give this up. | ||
| We were so outmanned, outgunned, right? | ||
| And outmaneuvered. | ||
| The field army, the expeditionary force, the British, was amazing. | ||
| The World Navy was at the top of its game. | ||
| A few years later, with the same spirit and the same tactics, You saw the Battle of the Nile, you saw Trafalgar, you saw the taking down, basically hemming in Napoleon and eventually destroying him by using the Mahanian Ocean Strategy, right? | ||
| We were so outclassed. | ||
| The Continental Army was just guys getting a better paycheck than the militias. | ||
| Saying it was ragtag was too good for ragtag. | ||
| Yet they won. | ||
| You've got to remember, the Declaration of Independence, I revere the Declaration of Independence, but remember, the Declaration of Independence is kind of the starting point. | ||
| Eight years of combat. | ||
| Eight years of combat. | ||
| It finally ends down south. | ||
| Really in South Carolina, it kind of came up and at Yorktown's the end, but hey, it was down in South Carolina. | ||
| And why? | ||
| Because the Patriots refused to give up, they refused to quit. | ||
| There were so many times that it was to save the Army. | ||
| We've got to keep the Army intact, the Army in being. | ||
| They would not quit. | ||
| And one of the things the British failed to do, you see the voices over there, is put yourself in the eyes of these enemies. | ||
| These guys are determined to get it. | ||
| Determined to get their freedom. | ||
| That's what we have to start thinking like our enemies. | ||
| And we have enemies all over. | ||
| Frank Gadsby said the Chinese Communist Party being the existential threat. | ||
| But now, in a bad neighborhood, they're rolling it all up. | ||
| So Frank Wuko, you've spent your life on this. | ||
| Your professional life. | ||
| Like we have Dr. Malone here, he's a vaccinologist. | ||
| Wuko spent his, and he's on the red team, at CINCOM. | ||
| He's the guy that was one of the guys leading, hey, here's how these guys think. | ||
| And let's not make no mistake about it. | ||
| However you color this, and this is why right now in the military there's so much questioning, and that's where the PTSD and the suicides, there's so much questioning. | ||
| I know people today that are going to funerals. | ||
| Right? | ||
| There's so much that has been triggered by, hey, was it worth it? | ||
| I lost comrades there. | ||
| I gave up a big part of my life. | ||
| I lost my marriage, my kids, right? | ||
| All of that. | ||
| There's a lot of questioning. | ||
| From that 1%, not the Wall Street 1%, this 1% that serves. | ||
| Compare and contrast that 1%. | ||
| The 1% that sends them, the Wall Street billionaires, the 1% that's concentrated all the wealth, to the 1% that go and do the fighting. | ||
| Compare those two 1%. | ||
| That's the issue. | ||
| And make no mistake about it. | ||
| In the eyes of our enemies, it's a massive victory. | ||
| Are we playing that? | ||
| I can't see the screen. | ||
| Are we playing that? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I need you to watch. | ||
| I need everybody in this audience to take that footage of their celebrations about the mock funerals of our troops, and I need you to send that everywhere. | ||
| The Lou Oberle's of the world. | ||
| The posse. | ||
| I need you to take that. | ||
| I need you to push it out. | ||
| If you've got two people following you on social media, then let those two people have it. | ||
| Frank Wuko. | ||
| This is, at the end of the day, it's a battle of will. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We've got equipment, and we left them a lot of equipment, but it's a battle of not just political will, but will of a people. | ||
| Do you agree? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree, Steve. | |
| And there is, to the religious person, no matter what your religion is, Um, to the religious person, there's no greater will than the will that is supported by or directly derived from God himself. | ||
| And as a jihadist who's committed and who is educated, in fact, probably all you read Um, is, is Quran, Hadith, Sharia, particularly as it is geared towards the fight and towards governance. | ||
| Everything is the will of God. | ||
| In the Catholic religion, which you and I practice, Steve, we have our own free will. | ||
| We have personal will, uh, to make our own decisions. | ||
| To the committed in Islam and to the jihadists, there is no free will whatsoever. | ||
| Everything is within the will of God the Quran in in passages that strictly deal with warfare This situation is is stressed And if you understand the Quran you understand that it's not influenced by the Word of God if you're if you're a Muslim It's not influenced by God It's not you know these aren't people who were who were influenced by | ||
| By the Spirit of God, this is the direct word of God via the Archangel Gabriel to Muhammad. | ||
| The Quran is very clear that in battle, hold fast, perhaps it will be that Allah, that God will restrain the might and the fury of the infidel. | ||
| That's exactly how they're viewing this right now. | ||
| That on their behalf, on behalf of Jihad, going forward fighting the path of Allah that God himself has restrained the might of the unbelievers. | ||
| That's us. | ||
| So this is looked upon as Not only an incredible victory, sort of kinetic and geopolitical victory for them, it's also viewed by them as the direct intervention of God himself on their behalf. | ||
| And it doesn't get more powerful in the mind of a human being than that. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna spend a lot more time with you. | ||
| How do people get you today? | ||
| What social media and how they get to you and follow your writings and thinking? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, Steve. | |
| They can get right to me on Twitter, at FrankWuko, all one word, last name spelled W-U-C-O. | ||
| I'm also on Facebook under the other name, and all of our friends have been pestering and cajoling me to get on Getter, so we'll see how to do that here today. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And good luck with all the efforts you're having. | ||
| We're going to have you back on. | ||
| By the way, if they go to your Twitter, can people, we need to start getting, you know, all the information we've been talking about for years for people to get back up there. | ||
| So we need you. | ||
| I'll have you back on and maybe send, get people how they can get summaries of this stuff and start to get reacquainted with it. | ||
| Cause a lot of people have not, have not done it. | ||
| Frank Rucco. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're in the middle of it. | |
| We're in it now, ladies and gentlemen, with two enemies that take the long view. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party and radical Islam. | ||
| The Mullahs in Persia, right? | ||
| Their underlings, the ISI in Pakistan, they have the nuclear weapons. | ||
| We're in the middle of it. | ||
| That's the left flank, right? | ||
| And up in Kashmir. | ||
| And the right flank is Taiwan and the South China Sea. | ||
| And, you know, we're in the middle of it. | ||
| We're in the middle of it. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, we've got about a minute. | ||
| Frank, yesterday you guys pulled the camera back with the team and said, hey, we've got to keep the perspective here of how this all ties together. | ||
| Walk us through what your seminar was yesterday, then I'm going to hold you through the break and we'll get into some details afterwards. | ||
| Tell us what the seminar was about yesterday. | ||
| Steve, thanks. | ||
| We sort of told people about it last Saturday, and it came together very well yesterday. | ||
| People can see the video themselves at presentdangerchina.org. | ||
| It was a webinar, two hours long, featuring not only some of the best people in the Committee on the Present Danger of China, of which I'm very pleased you're a member, Steve, but also War Room rock stars like Brian Kennedy, Gordon Chang, Okay, we're going to hold Frank Gaffney from the Committee on the Present Danger of China. | ||
| Also, his neighborhood has been radical jihad for many, many decades. | ||
| how the Chinese Communist Party has been emboldened and empowered and made more dangerous by Joe Biden's Afghan defeat. | ||
| Okay, we're going to hold Frank Gaffney from the Committee on the Present Danger of China. | ||
| Also, his neighborhood has been radical jihad for many, many decades. | ||
| We're going to return in a moment with Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Okay, we're back in the War Room. | ||
| It is 1st of September, Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
| It's Thursday. | ||
| Like I said, we're in the middle of it. | ||
| I think the intensity level is only going to increase both here in Washington, D.C. | ||
| and geopolitically throughout the world and the world's capital markets. | ||
| Terrible numbers coming out today on employment. | ||
| Supposed to be 600,000 private sector jobs, I think it's 324,000. | ||
| The numbers are starting to show up and this does not incorporate all the numbers in the polling from this debacle you've seen on both execution, strategy, tactics, all of it. | ||
| Of course, there has been one officer, and this entire thing, there has been somebody fired. | ||
| Nobody at the White House, nobody at the State Department, nobody at DOD, nobody in the Uniformed Services. | ||
| General Milley's not, General Austin's not, the combatant commander down at McKenzie, CENTCOM commander, nobody. | ||
| They fired Colonel Scheller, and then Colonel Scheller today is saying that, hey, he's putting out that burger The Commandant of the Marine Corps is trying to court-martial him. | ||
| Hey, dare ya, right? | ||
| He's already got five moves ahead of you, but man, we're gonna make a lot of people, and this, look, it hurts because you get so many veterans and so many people that are Marines that love the Marine Corps, but what's happening now is not right. | ||
| What's happening in the Navy is not right. | ||
| What's happening in the Army is not right. | ||
| And these are the people that love these institutions more than anybody. | ||
| West Point graduates, Naval Academy graduates, you've got people that have served for many, many years, and people understand something is wrong in our institutions, and particularly in the leadership. | ||
| So General Berger, you know, Colonel Scheller is a hero. | ||
| He's the one person that basically resigned. | ||
| He threw what his oak leaf cluster, his lieutenant colonel, he threw him onto the table. | ||
| Nobody else threw him. | ||
| No stars went to the table. | ||
| General Don Bolduc told us, who's a legend of Special Forces, nobody threw him in the middle of the table. | ||
| And we're going to play over and over again. | ||
| We're going to get a titer of what actually happened to those young Marines outside the gate, the Abbey Gate. | ||
| How it happened. | ||
| Who's responsible. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We just can't have young lives like that of the best of the best. | ||
| That's the best we got. | ||
| We can't have a country going forward and just throw away the best of the best. | ||
| And that's not me saying that. | ||
| That's the parents. | ||
| And Joe Biden sitting there wants to talk about his son Beau. | ||
| Look, obviously it's a tragedy when a guy dies of brain cancer. | ||
| What, in his 40s or 50s? | ||
| But he had five years of the best hospitals in the world to try to solve it. | ||
| And he can't sit there. | ||
| Do not equate what your son did in Bosnia as a lawyer. | ||
| Do not ever equate that to those heroes that are helping mankind, okay? | ||
| And particularly the way they were ill-led. | ||
| We gotta get to the bottom. | ||
| There's so many investigations that have to happen here. | ||
| And it's not Monday morning quarterbacking. | ||
| This is just debacle. | ||
| So let me go by Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Give me your assessment of Biden's speech yesterday, given the reality, you know, in the community, you came out of Reagan's Defense Department. | ||
| You also know so many, so many of the retired flags and field grade officers. | ||
| What was the assessment, your assessment and their assessment of Biden's speech? | ||
| I think you've heard it already, Steve. | ||
| It's one of disgust is the reaction to it. | ||
| I think what Joe Biden What he did, as he has done from day one in this presidency, is deflect responsibility, try to deceive the American people, and otherwise mislead our country. | ||
| I've said it on your program many times. | ||
| I think, as with what he was depicting, Afghanistan, but as with so many other things besides the border disaster, What he's done to the economy of the United States, that disaster. | ||
| What he's doing to the currency of the United States, that disaster. | ||
| Right on down the line. | ||
| It's not incompetence. | ||
| I heard President Trump talking about it today on John Frederick's program as incompetence. | ||
| I respectfully disagree, Mr. President. | ||
| This is a wrecking operation. | ||
| And I think increasingly that's the takeaway of most sentient Americans. | ||
| You can't describe all of this. | ||
| To just malfeasance. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| Incompetence is there, to be sure. | ||
| We don't even know who's running the country at the moment. | ||
| But whoever is, I'm convinced, has a greater purpose in mind in doing this kind of damage across the board. | ||
| You gotta, you know, you think Gaffney and Brian Kane, these guys, but you see there, look, they're no conspiracy, but they're no coincidences. | ||
| When the NORTHCOM commander, Northern Commander, says the one thing that's organized in the entire deal is to get the refugees out unvetted, they've been working on that since April, to the fact they have culturally appropriate food ready at Dulles. | ||
| That's organized. | ||
| Getting people that work with us and fought with us for 20 years, nah. | ||
| Getting the troops out, nah. | ||
| You know, getting the equipment out, the $88 billion, none of that's organized. | ||
| In fact, it's totally disorganized, but that one thing of getting the refugees, and by the way, not taking them to Qatar, not taking them to UAE, not taking them to Kuwait, no, bring them to Wisconsin, get them to Dallas and Wisconsin, Texas, flood the zone. | ||
| And baby, the more red states, the better. | ||
| I'm just observing on the facts on the ground, and I'm not a conspiracy theory guy. | ||
| Steve, to Frank Wuko's key point. | ||
| The probability, I would say the certitude, that at least some of those people, inculcated as they have been in a Sharia supremacist society, are coming to this country with malign intent They will be waging jihad, because that is their duty under Sharia, against Americans from inside our wire. | ||
| In fact, from inside our military bases, for heaven's sakes, in some cases. | ||
| This is a further example of the real damage that the President of the United States is currently doing to our country. | ||
| Talking about accountability and things, you're part of or help organize this letter from these flag officers who wonders about it. | ||
| By the way, called shot, signal not noise, the same group basically in I think September of 2020 said everything that's going to happen if you get Joe Biden in there. | ||
| The same kind of flag officers. | ||
| They said it was going to happen. | ||
| Don't be surprised. | ||
| This is what's going to happen. | ||
| Now it's happened. | ||
| Now they've come out with a letter saying, OK, we warned you. | ||
| You didn't pay attention. | ||
| Now he's got to go. | ||
| Tell us about the letter and who pulled it together. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| For the record, I didn't have anything to do with any of these three letters, but there have been three important ones. | ||
| The one that warned before the election What the stakes were and how grievous the results would be if Joe Biden were elected. | ||
| A second letter that the same group, Flag Officers for America, and you can find it at flagofficers4america.org. | ||
| This second letter after the election in May, now has I think about 300 signers on it, said, we warned you And now the nation is in the midst of a Marxist revolution. | ||
| It is in crisis. | ||
| And they enumerated a dozen or so different examples of what the revolutionaries are up to. | ||
| Again, my point about the purposeful wrecking operation underway. | ||
| This letter, to their great credit, signed, I think, now by about 100 of these folks, It lays out the arguments for removing the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, former four-star general officer, many of them served with him, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, another four-star general. | ||
| Again, many of them served with him as well. | ||
| Saying on the basis of clear malfeasance, a failure of performance of their duties, These gentlemen should be compelled to resign and removed from their present responsibilities. | ||
| We need new leadership. | ||
| As I said, Steve, I think it has to start with the Commander-in-Chief himself. | ||
| But for sure, these people are now going to be responsible for the consequences of what's been done on their watch. | ||
| And we can't have confidence they'll deal with that any better. | ||
| I want to get all three of those letters up into the live chat right now, probably the last. | ||
| OK, I'm really proud of the Committee on Presidential. | ||
| Politico had a story today about how the business community is not happy with even the toughening of the Biden stance on the CCP and on China, which is just a pale comparison of Trump. | ||
| But the interesting thing, the Barry Lee, it talks about major corporations. | ||
| Things like the Business Roundtable, the Business Council, the China Business Team, but particularly the Chamber of Commerce, and, wait for it, progressive organizations. | ||
| Progressive organizations, all concerned about humanity, all concerned about, you know, they're all bleeding hearts all the time. | ||
| About the slave labor and the Uyghurs, all the suppression, the live organ harvesting. | ||
| These people are all, you know, it's Omar and that whole crowd. | ||
| The progressives are with them. | ||
| They said you can't turn this into a new Cold War. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, this article, we're going to deconstruct this in the 5 o'clock show. | ||
| It is big league because it shows you the global corporations, no more tax cuts, no more deregulation. | ||
| They understand we come back in power in 2022, new game, new sheriff in town. | ||
| We're coming for the big corporations and we're going to come for the Chamber of Commerce. | ||
| So go ahead, throw down, put all your money on these progressive Democrats. | ||
| You're going to live with it. | ||
| The progressive Democrats, these progressive organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Business Alliance, the Business Roundtable, and the joint corporations. | ||
| If you go back and read Molly Ball's cover story in Time Magazine about the stealing of the election, guess what? | ||
| The same exact groups. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, your observation. | ||
| You've had Roger Robinson, Kevin Freemans. | ||
| It's a huge part of the Committee on the Present Danger. | ||
| Economic warfare. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
| Well, it's a huge part of the present danger, that's for sure. | ||
| Steve, look, I'm glad you're doing something on the show. | ||
| At five, you need to do a real special drill down on this, maybe on a Saturday, because there's so much here. | ||
| What the Politico article reveals is something that we touched on in our Sam Faddis, one of our great leaders, talks about something that he and Trevor Loudon have been doing to document the so-called old friends of China, a term that is used pejoratively by the Chinese influence operators, the people that they've essentially owned, they control, they manipulate, they use, many of them on Wall Street. | ||
| What this article describes is how those old friends have been mobilized | ||
| In corporate boardrooms across the country—yes, some on Wall Street, some in big box stores and other big enterprises that do a lot of business with China—they've clearly been told, if you don't stop the various kinds of legislation that have been considered in both the House and the Senate—some actually have been adopted—that are aimed at trying to stop our supporting, our enabling of the threat that we're facing from the Chinese Communist Party, you're going to be toast. | ||
| in terms of access to our market here in China. So these guys have all been mobilized and they've looked around and it turns out there really isn't anybody on their side in the mainstream Republicans, let alone the conservative Republicans, even what's left of moderate or reasonable Democrats. The only people left with whom they can work are the progressives. | ||
| The hard left. | ||
| Well, let's face it, the Marxists in our Congress. | ||
| Trevor Loudon has documented that their legions are very large. | ||
| They're 125, I think, is his last count. | ||
| And the point is this, Steve. | ||
| These guys are working already, quite apart from this effort to protect their friends in the Chinese Communist Party, with so-called woke capitalists. | ||
| Like Larry Fink, promoting in boardrooms the environment, social justice, and governance agenda, which is just another way of taking down our country, because they don't apply it to the Chinese. | ||
| This is what they say in the article. | ||
| We're going to deconstruct it today. | ||
| They said, oh, the progressives think it's a bigger issue to work with them on climate change. | ||
| And so all these human rights issues and all this. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is a transnational criminal organization. | ||
| Let's be brutally frank. | ||
| And it must be taken apart brick by brick, root and branch. | ||
| And our allies in that are Lao Bajing. | ||
| That's old hundred names, okay? | ||
| Not old friends of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| That's the deplorables of China. | ||
| Old hundred names is a thing. | ||
| There's a hundred last names essentially in Chinese, at least the legend is. | ||
| They're our allies because they've been under the boot of these people since 1949. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They hate them. | ||
| And they're our allies in taking this out. | ||
| Frank, how do people... What's your social media? | ||
| You've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| Oh, securingamerica.tv is, I think, my preferred one. | ||
| You can find our work on Real America's Voice and Secure Freedom Radio and our commentaries and other stuff there. | ||
| It's one-stop shopping. | ||
| Podcast, The Minute, every day. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||

| Thank you. | ||

| I know the Southern Poverty Law Center hurts them to no end, but guess what? | ||
| Radical Jihad. | ||
| We've created a super state in Afghanistan. | ||
| Deal with it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The Taliban and ISIS-K. | ||
| It's all the same. | ||

| It's not Thursday. | ||
| I think the entire show, I've been saying Thursday because I wrote it down. | ||
| It's Wednesday, the 1st of September, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| And I want to bring in Joe Reich. | ||
| Okay, Joe, I'm talking to people here in D.C. | ||
| that's saying they're going to restaurants, there's things on the menu, their favorite meals, they can't order. | ||
| They're going to fast food, it's not there. | ||
| They're going to stores, food's not there. | ||
| In the United States of America, Joe, help me out here. | ||
| We don't actually have a food shortage. | ||
| Isn't this something that's just kind of, it's something you see on Facebook, it's fake news that's getting spun around, or is it true? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, Steve, I wish it were fake. | |
| You know, you can go down to your local grocery stores and you can go look at the chicken section or the frozen beef section and you can see for yourself that the supply is just not there like it used to be. | ||
| And unfortunately, we're starting to see these types of shortages in everyday things. | ||
| You know, it's not just the specialty items, it's everyday items that we use from the grocery stores to feed our families. | ||
| We are noticing that there are shortages coming and I, you know, I'm afraid it's going to get a lot worse than what it is right now. | ||
| Joe, but I've got to ask you, we're the breadbasket of the world. | ||
| We feed the world. | ||
| At least that's what we've told ourselves for years and years. | ||
| We're great farmers, ranchers. | ||
| Give me a couple of points. | ||
| How in the United States of America, in the 21st century, on the most powerful, wealthy nation on earth, are we having food shortages? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That I wish I could tell you, Steve. | |
| You know, there's different things that we've heard about people coming in and purchasing large swaths of agricultural land. | ||
| I've heard different stories of people receiving subsidies for burning their crops for making the food shortage a reality. | ||
| I don't know because I can't confirm that, but I do see it here with our manufacturing. | ||
| There are several items that we even have a hard time getting a hold of to produce and to manufacture. | ||
| And when we start seeing those slowdowns, You know it's worse and it's bigger than what it is when we see it. | ||
| What Joe is implying is that there's all this discussion we're trying to drill down the bottom about the CCP buying up huge swaths of agricultural land also other people also this issue about climate change they're taking trying to take farmland out about the climate and what people grow like beef etc we'll get to the bottom of all that but when you say basic stuff give our audience an example what kind of like is it materials packaging The food itself? | ||
| Because people are sitting there going, with everything else going on, and feeling a little apocalyptic, you know, and not want to get people, their heads blown up too much. | ||
| How are we in a situation that you go to stores and the chicken's not there? | ||
| You go to a restaurant, you can't get your favorite meal. | ||
| You go to a fast food and you can't get the taco you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the supply chain, the supply chain out there. | |
| There's a very, very limited supply of beef, of chicken, of agricultural items. | ||
| And, you know, when we see it, it has to go through a couple of other processes in order for us to be able to put it in our packaging to make it have that 25-year shelf life. | ||
| But even now, we have issues with resin. | ||
| And resin is what we use for our plastic pails that packages our food. | ||
| There's a shortage of resin right now. | ||
| We can't get certain components for actual hard goods. | ||
| We can't get ingredients for the actual meals. | ||
| And when we do get it, there's a very, very limited supply of what we are able to even to get into packaging and produce and sell. | ||
| This hasn't slowed down. | ||
| I mean, you still got the food packages that people put in an order. | ||
| At least today, you can still deliver on, you know, because you get it very quickly if you order from you guys, or is it even slowing you guys down? | ||
| I'll use an example. | ||
| I remember Mike Lindell, even in my pillow, and go to Promo Code War Room, but even he, like on certain elements, they would tell us, hey, we just can't get the, we just can't get the material because of supply chain problems. | ||
| Are the supply chain problems actually slowing you guys down, or today can you still deliver? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, we have about 95% of the items that we offer, we can ship those in two to three days. | |
| And I think in most cases, we actually beat Amazon, Amazon Prime, we beat. | ||
| So there are a few items that we are a little bit delayed on, but for the most part, you know, our emergency water, our emergency food bars, our emergency survival items, our Water purification systems, you know, our four-week food kits. | ||
| We still have plenty of inventory of those, but there's just a few items that, yeah, we are a little bit short on. | ||
| And it is going to take a few weeks for that to come back to get produced in order to sell and move out the door. | ||
| Let me just ask you, as long as you guys have had the company set up, have you ever seen a situation, because I know you're the emergency guys for the hurricanes and the power going down and all the stuff that could happen. | ||
| Have you ever seen a situation where actually people are questioning whether the supply chain can actually deliver food to the American people? | ||
| Have you ever seen this happen before? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I've been doing this for close to 15 years, Steve, and never before have I seen what's happened in the last two years. | |
| I mean, COVID kind of threw the whole world upside down as far as supply chain is concerned. | ||
| And at the same time, it told people how volatile our system is. | ||
| You know, when people would go to the grocery stores and not find their every single day items there on the shelves, everybody kind of understood the reasoning to get prepared and kind of open up their eyes for the need to be better prepared. | ||
| You know, we educate our customers. | ||
| Hey, it doesn't have to be a global pandemic to to want to get prepared. | ||
| It doesn't have to be a natural disaster that we're seeing down in the Gulf Coast right now. | ||
| But it could be everyday things. | ||
| It could be mom and dad losing their jobs. | ||
| It could be sickness. | ||
| It could be illness. | ||
| There's no reason why you should not be prepared. | ||
| And, you know, unfortunately, there's a lot of people that are struggling right now, especially with the Hurricane Ida right down the Gulf Coast. | ||
| And, you know, it's a lot better to get prepared before an emergency than get prepared during an emergency. | ||
| Real quickly, we've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| How do they get to the company? | ||
| Because we want to find out a lot more about this. | ||
|
unidentified

| Anything that you think you might need in an emergency situation, we have it and we supply it to everyday people. | ||
| And we can get it shipped out within two to three days at your door, ready for you. | ||
| Joe, we're going to spend a lot more time with you guys because we're going to get to the bottom of this. | ||
| There's something not right about this. | ||
| This supply chain thing. | ||
| This has never happened in this country before. | ||
| It kind of gets, why is this all happening at the same time? | ||
| I remember, I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but there ain't no coincidence. | ||
| There's something, there's something not right about this one. | ||
| Everybody's come to me and complained about it. | ||
