| Speaker | Time | Text |
|---|---|---|
| Okay, welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| Extraction under fire. | ||
| We're doing these specials for the next couple of days. | ||
| We've got a lot to go through. | ||
| A little later in this hour and get to Chief Warrant Officer Joe Kenney. | ||
| Just got endorsed by President Trump out in Washington 3. | ||
| A district that one of the traitors, that one of the people that turned on President Trump and voted to impeach is out there and he's now been endorsed as a challenger. | ||
| So a lot to go in there. | ||
| He's also going to give us his ideas on this Afghanistan fiasco. | ||
| Captain Bannon, he's going to be here. | ||
| We have a special tribute to the fallen dead. | ||
| We're going to get to the bottom of the hour. | ||
| But I got to talk about our current situation. | ||
| You know, as big as the Afghanistan fiasco is, and these numbers are imploding all over, we're going to have additional analysis of the status of the Biden regime and what the American people think of it, because it's been it's been weighed and measured. | ||
| Okay, and I've never seen numbers like this, this rapidly. | ||
| When you think about the social media oligarchs protecting this guy, when you think of the media protecting him, and he's down across the board, everything from the handling of the COVID, CCP virus, everything. | ||
| And what we can't do now, and that's why the California front is so important to get competitive about recalling Gavin Newsom, is that we can't allow them to try to transform the country. | ||
| Particularly financially. | ||
| That's what they're going to try to do. | ||
| They're going to try to do such enormous things to the balance sheet of the nation and the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve that we can never pull it back. | ||
| Now that he has no political capital, it's going to take the war room posse to do that. | ||
| In addition, or kind of part of it, is that we've got now, and Politico had this story up today that really, I don't want to say it blew my mind, but it was so straightforward and honest Not trying to hide things. | ||
| I found it kind of startling. | ||
| It basically said that big business, Wall Street, the lobbyist, with the Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the CEOs thing, and the China Business Association, all these big lobby groups, not just individual lobbyists for the companies, but the big trade unions, the industry lobbyists, and the Chamber of Commerce. | ||
| We're getting these global corporations. | ||
| And now the progressive Democrats, the most progressive of the groups, Omar, all of it, the most progressives, are working together to make sure that we thwart what they call getting into a new Cold War on the economics with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Look, you have to understand something. | ||
| They believe in, you know, the warfare that is unrestricted, unrestricted warfare, which you have cyber and information warfare, you have economic warfare, and you have what they call kinetic war. | ||
| Which is shooting. | ||
| And we're quickly hurtling towards a kinetic war, and kind of the left flank of that is going to be up in Kashmir with our ally India. | ||
| You've got Pakistan, you've got the terrorist super-state Afghanistan, you've got Persia or Iran with the mullahs, and the Chinese Communist Party up there. | ||
| The right flank of that is Silicon Valley West, which is Taiwan in the South China Sea. | ||
| 60% of the world's goods go through her because we are a Pacific power and we have to remain a Pacific power. | ||
| So that's the kinetic part. | ||
| They're already at economic worth us or information worth us. | ||
| A young woman from the University of Chicago has done better than anybody in this town. | ||
| About doing the hard investigative work to get to the bottom of it and to show the interlinking relationships. | ||
| That's why I say it's not a conspiracy because we see it, it's the way the system works. | ||
| And they have a very highly refined system. | ||
| And now for the hypocrisy, because you've got to remember we can now take, we have the moral high ground against this transnational criminal organization. | ||
| The biggest progressive groups are in business with them to protect them. | ||
| And here's the reason. | ||
| At their core, these progressive groups are Marxist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Or Marxist. | ||
| Now, the CCP is not Marxist in its economic philosophy. | ||
| It's state capitalism. | ||
| And they get the vigorous. | ||
| The slave labor of Lao Baijing, you know, suffers the consequences and creates the value. | ||
| They take Western capital to do it. | ||
| But you have progressive groups that are Marxist to their core. | ||
| That are in business with the Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the CEO Conferences, the China Business Relationship. | ||
| If you read, Natalie, when you go to Raheem Kassam's National Pulse and read Natalie Winter's investigative report, you go, oh yeah, I remember that. | ||
| Natalie said that. | ||
| Natalie had that six months ago. | ||
| But she actually goes down and shows you the receipts. | ||
| She not only shows you the conferences that they go to, right, but she shows you who was there, how they spoke, and what they got paid. | ||
| And it's two-fold. | ||
| You have both a foreign policy national security apparatus, or three-fold, a business kind of apparatus of the economists, and then you have the public health, which he's exposed better than anybody, with Fauci and all these public health guys, World Health Organization. | ||
| This is the way, this is the globalist system. | ||
| This is the globalist system. | ||
| And it is absolutely anti-... And if you don't think it's traitorous, they betrayed their country, Politico shows it right there. | ||
| Oh, we've got to take care of the CCP. | ||
| We've got to take care of China. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And it's a mix. | ||
| Now, here's the interesting thing. | ||
| That group, when you read that article, I want this article in every chat room. | ||
| I want you to read it. | ||
| I want you to pass it around. | ||
| And if you go back to what we put in before, it is exactly the same groups. | ||
| Exactly the same groups. | ||
| That was in Molly Ball's cover story of who stole this election and Biden's stealing the election. | ||
| They bragged about it. | ||
| It's the big global corporations. | ||
| It's the Chamber of Commerce. | ||
| One of the biggest things they put their shoulder to the wheel. | ||
| And the progressive groups. | ||
| The same... Guys, look, Mike Lindell says, hey, they hacked the machines. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He's got to prove that. | ||
| He says he is. | ||
| He's working on it. | ||
| Right? | ||
| He's talking to secretaries of state now. | ||
| He's working on the data. | ||
| And so the Dominion guys, hey, I don't know. | ||
| I'm not a machine guy. | ||
| There's a big spread between the bed and the ass. | ||
| But here's what I know. | ||
| We have today, this ain't on the war room. | ||
| This is not the national pulse, right? | ||
| This is not the daily caller. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is not, you know, this is not some far extreme, this is not Citizen Free Press or Gateway Pundit. | ||
| No, it's Politico. | ||
| And they reported, it's a matter of fact. | ||
| Hey, this is a new force in town. | ||
| So Natalie Winters, I want you to, first off, just your assessment. | ||
| Since you do such so much of the grind, you've got another beautiful article up that dovetails this perfectly. | ||
| I want to get to in a second, but just your thoughts. | ||
| When Politico puts this out this morning, it was kind of, hey, this is what they really got to get focused on to kind of save China from these horrible trade deals that, you know, Biden's kind of too, because the numbers are so positive on him, he doesn't want to pull them off. | ||
| Natalie Winters. | ||
| Well, they were saying the quiet part out loud, but to anyone who's watched The War Room or read my articles at The National Pulse, the quiet part really isn't so quiet. | ||
| I think this article really undergirds the thesis that guides a lot of my reporting at The National Pulse, and frankly, more broadly, my worldview, which is that there is a sect of American society Call it the elite, call it the establishment, call it the permanent political class who have benefited immensely from the rise of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And they will do anything to secure market access and be able to have their companies and send their jobs overseas. | ||
| You were talking about polling. | ||
| There was a very interesting poll that came out about two months ago from the Trafalgar Group, which again is a respectable outlet. | ||
| And they found that 89% of Americans viewed that the Chinese Communist Party All right. | ||
| Level. | ||
| And at first when I when I read that poll, I thought, wow, that's a great number. | ||
| Maybe a lot of people are reading the national polls and watching the war room. | ||
| But that outstanding 11 percent, I really think, is revealed in this article. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's the people at the Chamber of Commerce, it's people at the U.S.-China Business Council, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, all these people who should be registered foreign agents, much like Hunter Biden. | ||
| But of course, they're not. | ||
| But I think this really just speaks to our worldview. | ||
| And I think, frankly, the globalist agenda of open borders works two ways, right? | ||
| It's not just that they want cheap labor and open immigration controls. | ||
| They also want that border to be open so American industry and jobs and manufacturing capabilities can be sent all across the world, but principally to China. | ||
| Okay, so on top of this, of course, the great Natalie Winters, who never stops working. | ||
| By the way, you're out in Oregon. | ||
| You're all over the country giving speeches and giving presentations. | ||
| Talk to us about the new story that's up on National Pulse because it dovetails. | ||
| It's like you knew the Politico thing was coming out and you kind of waited to drop it on top and say, hey, they gave you the overview and some quotes. | ||
| I'm going to give you the receipts. | ||
| Well, I have a couple of stories out today, but I assume you're talking about an older piece that I sent over to Cameron, which has to do with who Joe Biden's ambassador to China is. | ||
| But this is someone who has worked with the U.S.-China Business Council, Nicholas Burns, so the guy who is now leading the Biden regime's approach to China, dealing with all these critical issues. | ||
| As someone who worked at the Cohen Group, which is a consulting firm that not only is a member of the US China Business Council, but has actually sponsored their annual galas, really an insane connection there. | ||
| And I think a lot of people like to ask the question, you know, who's pulling the strings in the Biden regime? | ||
| But I think that that framing of how DC works is frankly inaccurate, right? | ||
| Because it's not just the president or whoever is allegedly, we would say incorrectly elected, gets to determine what United States policy is. | ||
| There's all these kind of underground influences, right? | ||
| These lobbying groups, and frankly, they're not even underground that much anymore. | ||
| This Politico article really kind of shines a light on that. | ||
| But these are the people who are determining personnel, getting to determine policy. | ||
| But real quick, the other story that I have up today. | ||
| Has to do with Hill House Capital, which people may be familiar, not only because they're an investor in Amazon and Zoom and a lot of these companies that you probably unwittingly use every day. | ||
| But this is a firm that is backed pretty extensively in seed capital, not only from Yale University, but they actually manage money for six of the top U.S. | ||
| universities, as well as Canadian pension funds. | ||
| And they actually just partnered on a what seems to be a billion dollar venture with a Chinese state run investment firm over in Hangzhou province, which I think really, again, just speaks to this Politico article, which is the idea that a lot of these, you know, American institutions, the ones that lecture people like us as being deplorables, which fundamentally at heart, I think, are Marxist, really are putting their money where their mouth is, and they're defending and propping up a regime. | ||
| And lastly, just real quick on that Politico article, it's kind of interesting, because I think they strawman our argument against doing business with China, but more precisely the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| The human rights abuses are the tip of the iceberg, right? | ||
| It's also about the Chinese Communist Party's broader agenda to really overtake the United States, kick us out of any power structure. | ||
| And at the end of the day, they're a communist regime, and I don't think that any American corporation should be doing business with them, even independent of the human rights abuses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
. | |
| Given that you've probably done more detailed analysis of how this all operates, whether it's in Davos, in Geneva, here in the United States, this theory that Jack Posobiec, I've got to ask you, we've got a couple minutes. | ||
| Are we in a situation of elite capture, which for years Clive Hamilton and others have looked at? | ||
| Or is your reporting, as you see it, do you believe it is now elite merger? | ||
| Well, I think the Biden regime really answers that question for you when you when you look into the people who are working there. | ||
| And I'm not just talking about our ambassador to China. | ||
| Even take our secretary of agriculture, Tom Vilsack, for example. | ||
| He's someone who's headlined several events for the U.S.-China Business Council. | ||
| I mean, I think I had said it before on a previous Warren episode. | ||
| I talked about how, you know, pattern recognition is really what guides a lot of my reporting. And I really think that at this point, there are just too many coincidences for it not to be some sort of broader conspiracy between the Chinese Communist Party and really the American elites. And I use that word conspiracy in its definitional sense, in that elites from both countries really benefit when the Chinese Communist Party is emboldened. | ||
| And I think that's reflected in that polling I was talking about, where a very small segment of American society is pleased with the Chinese Communist Party broadening their influence over American society. And there's more and more instances, I think, like this Politico article, like that Charlie Munger interview. | ||
| Even an interview from 2020 with Joe Biden's ambassador to China, Nick Burns, where he says in reference to China, we can't see them as the enemy because we need them. | ||
| Or Joe Biden says, quote, China's rise isn't our demise all the way back in 2011. | ||
| And I think that when you interpret this regime's conduct with China as one of mutual benefit, right? | ||
| I think the Chinese Communist Party has benefited immensely from what's going on in Afghanistan. | ||
| I think there is purpose behind that, and I think that we're really seeing the damages of that now, not just in Afghanistan, but really in every sector of policy. | ||
| Gabby, 30 seconds. | ||
| I want to keep operational security, but directionally, where is your reporting heading right now? | ||
| What are the type of things you're working on? | ||
| Believe it or not, there are more people who are working. | ||
| Not just in Congress, but also in the State Department, who are investing in Chinese Communist Party-run companies, which again speaks to this whole elite merger on an explicit financial level, so that should be probably my next story, but a lot more reporting that dovetails with articles like this Politico one. | ||
| How do people follow you on social media, Natalie? | ||
| Natalie G. Winters on Twitter, Getter, Instagram, and then Natalie Winters on Facebook. | ||
| Okay, and then Raheem's got the podcast every so often. | ||
| Tomorrow we're doing one. | ||
| Another podcast. | ||
| Natalie is the head cook and bottle washer over there. | ||
| Glad to have you back on this side of the Mississippi from your travels out west. | ||
| So thank you very much and great reporting. | ||
| Don't stop. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Natalie Winters, part of the Greatest Generation. | ||
| Okay, we're going to be returned. | ||
| We've got Chief Warrant Officer Joe is going to come back. | ||
| He's got a very big announcement. | ||
| The announcement is that the 45th President of the United States has just endorsed him for Congress. | ||
| We'll be back in a moment. | ||
|

|
Okay, welcome back. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| You're in the War Room, Extraction Under Fire. | ||
| We continue our specials this week. | ||
| I want to thank Real America's Voice for giving us the second hour today. | ||
| I also want to thank and welcome in KAGW TV 26, Wichita, Kansas, now part of the Real America's Voice family. | ||
| Keep America Great, Kansas. | ||
| We broadcast Real America's Voice broadcasts there every day. | ||
| And of course, you can get the War Room at 10 o'clock in the morning, or I guess it would be 9 o'clock Central Time, 9 o'clock out there. | ||
| on KAGW TV 26 in Wichita, Kansas. | ||
| There are gonna be a lot of announcements going forward. | ||
| Real America's Voice as we roll out the TV aspect throughout the country. | ||
| I wanna go now, I got two. | ||
| I got Captain Maureen Abannon and Chief Warrant Officer Joe Kent. | ||
| A very big day for Joe Kent, and we're gonna get to that in a second. | ||
| I've gotta ask you, Joe, you've got multiple tours in Iraq, a combat leader, led men in combat. | ||
| Your wife gave her life for her country, fighting ISIS over in Syria. | ||
| You're a gold star father, right? | ||
| And give us your assessment. | ||
| I haven't had you on. | ||
| I had you on during the middle of it, but not since it all ended. | ||
| Give us your Joe Kent's assessment of what went on in Afghanistan and who's responsible for how this thing was carried off at the end. | ||
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| Obviously, Joe Biden is responsible for what happened. | ||
| I don't want people to be able to forget that there was a deal that was negotiated from a position of strength by President Trump. | ||
| He fought the Taliban. | ||
| into the position where they had to make a deal with us that resulted in over a year of no Americans being killed there due to hostile fire. | ||
| And that was because the Taliban knew that President Trump would back up what he was saying in his terms with force. | ||
| He demonstrated that by crushing the Islamic Caliphate in Syria and Iraq, and by taking Qasem Soleimani off the battlefield when Soleimani attacked our embassy in Baghdad. | ||
| The Taliban knew that. | ||
| They saw Trump's use of force. | ||
| And so they gave us a year of peace. | ||
| And had we adhered to the terms that he negotiated to have our forces out of there by May, none of this catastrophe would have happened. | ||
| And we would have those 13 great brave American troops alive at home right now with their families instead of being on their way to Arlington National Cemetery. | ||
| So I want everyone to realize that this was all done by choice. | ||
| This was not a force of nature. | ||
| The Taliban returning to Afghanistan, however, was a force of nature. | ||
| That was going to happen regardless of when we left, whether it was leaving yesterday or was leaving in 20 more years of perpetual war. | ||
| What I fear right now is that the national security establishment, they see their opening. | ||
| There is an Islamic State presence there in Afghanistan. | ||
| And the Taliban is smart enough to play us and say, hey, we can be your vehicle for going after the Islamic State if you just recognize us as a normal nation and provide us with aid, unfreeze these accounts that have money frozen that was destined for the Afghan government or the new Afghan government. | ||
| That plays in nicely with the military industrial complex's desires. | ||
| And that also plays in really nicely with the America last America as a country in dissent mentality of Joe Biden's national security team because these people truly believe at their core that we're just another nation amongst other nations and we should somehow Just come up with a deal and figure out how to get along. | ||
| The same mentality that let ISIS fester before under Obama got us into the horrible Iran deal. | ||
| These people are back in charge and they are bragging about how they're dealing with the Taliban. | ||
| And so now I think there's a potential we could slide back into this cycle of funding the Taliban to go take out ISIS and it just being one big ploy to drag us into more wars and to get us more further committed to a terrorist actor. | ||
| Mo, I know you've got a couple questions for Chief Foreign Officer Joe Kent. | ||
| You want to go ahead and ask away? | ||
| Since we have Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, what do you see the way ahead in order to get those U.S. | ||
| citizens back home? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So right now, I mean, it's an absolute disgrace that we left Americans behind. | ||
| I think everyone agrees with that, unfortunately, except for those in power, Joe Biden and his feckless regime. | ||
| We need to have our Central Intelligence Agency. | ||
| We need to have our Department of Defense, the Joint Special Operations Command. | ||
| needs to do what they're good at and recover Americans. | ||
| They need to have the chains taken off. | ||
| They need to be, uh, have the gloves taken off and go after and get those Americans. | ||
| Unfortunately, all of that responsibility has been shirked. | ||
| And now we have a bunch of retired folks from the special operations community, the veterans community. | ||
| I know all of us that are on here know of folks that right now are working 24 seven around the clock to recover Americans through very unconventional means. | ||
| And it's, It's a credit to the hardworking men and women that sign up for our military, that serve in the ranks of our intelligence services, but it's an absolute disgrace. | ||
| So I think we need the Central Intelligence Agency. | ||
| We need patriotic people that are part of these institutions to break ranks, come out publicly, say what's going on. | ||
| We also need some of them behind the scenes to help fund and to help provide resources to those organizations, those civilian organizations right now that are trying to get Americans out. | ||
| That still has to be the priority. | ||
| I just don't see that. | ||
| from the Biden administration. | ||
| We had Biden basically scolding Americans that were left, you know, to the enemies in his address yesterday. | ||
| I mean, it's just a horrible situation that I can't believe we're in. | ||
| Look, the 45th president just in one of the earliest House races just endorsed you with a very powerful endorsement. | ||
| I'd like you to kind of summarize that endorsement. | ||
| But I love the symbolism of it, and particularly it comes the day after. | ||
| And we'd love your thoughts on Biden's talk or speech from the White House. | ||
| I think President Trump coming out today and endorsing you and Sean Parnell in the Senate in Pennsylvania and you in Washington in the House. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I'm absolutely honored to receive President Trump's endorsement, obviously because President Trump is the leader of this movement. | ||
| He's the one that showed us that we can put our country first and have this great success. | ||
| He punched through the wall as an outsider candidate like so many of us, like myself and like Sean Parnell. | ||
| But really, to me on a very personal level, President Trump won me over as a candidate when he took apart the Republican National Security Establishment. | ||
| I spent all my adult life in the military in special operations. | ||
| The first time I heard President Trump speak as a candidate, I was actually deployed overseas in a combat zone. | ||
| And I didn't know who President Trump was. | ||
| I didn't know who he was. | ||
| But when I heard him go after the way that we had gone about our wars and the way he took out the Bush doctrine, he won me over from there on. | ||
| And then when he became our commander in chief and he gave us the authorities and the resources we needed to take on the Islamic Caliphate and then to take on Iran. | ||
| That was just something that really, really spoke to me. | ||
| He showed us how we can have an America First foreign policy that uses strength through power. | ||
| It uses the full scope of our diplomacy, our economic strength, and only when needed, uses force. | ||
| But then when President Trump uses force is something that's so key that I have to point out to people. | ||
| When Trump used force, he was able to clearly state what the national security objective was, what the threat was, and a plan to get us out so that we weren't caught in perpetual war. | ||
| That's what he did in Syria at the Islamic Caliphate. | ||
| My wife was part of that final push to go in there and get rid of the caliphate, the Special Operations Task Force. | ||
| And President Trump attempted to end that mission once we destroyed the territorial caliphate. | ||
| When he did that, we saw the national security establishment turn against him. | ||
| Secretary of Defense Mattis, Brett McGurk, These so-called experts, these so-called adults in the room, turned, many of them resigned, but then bureaucratic slow roll took place. | ||
| That resulted in my wife and four other great Americans being left in country for an additional period of time when they weren't supposed to be there. | ||
| A month after that, they were killed by an ISIS suicide bomber. | ||
| So the parallels between my wife losing her life and those 13 brave Americans who lost their life, they couldn't be clearer to me. | ||
| Those 13 Americans, like I said, had we stuck with President Trump's original plan that was negotiated from a position of peace or a position of strength, they would be alive to this day. | ||
| I'm honored that President Trump endorsed me. | ||
| I want to take the America First agenda to my district and to this country because really it's going to be hard-working men and women that are stepping up away from what we've been focused on for most of our lives. | ||
| They're defending this country. | ||
| They're building our families and our communities and getting into this political arena because this is the fight. | ||
| We cannot let the establishment control us and we cannot let the left take it. | ||
| This is our final chance to take our nation back and I'm honored that President Trump has chosen me to help lead this fight from Washington 3. | ||
| I think one of the reasons President Trump gave you the endorsement, particularly so early in the House race, is that you are looked as one of the leaders. | ||
| We've been saying that people from the Afghan war, people from the Iraq war, people from the Gulf War early, you know, not that the Vietnam, the Cold War veterans, but you younger people have got to step up and help lead this country back. | ||
| It's now more than ever. | ||
| And I just want to know, over the last couple of days or weeks or so, I'm sure you've heard For many of your colleagues, other veterans, about how bitter they are about this, how disappointed they are about this, how ashamed they are of what the leadership, not the combat troops, the troops themselves, have been glorious in how they've acted on this. | ||
| How can we galvanize this? | ||
| Joe, we've got a couple of minutes left to make sure, and by the way, everybody in this audience has got to go to Joe's website. | ||
| He's going to give it in a second. | ||
| We've got to go to Joe. | ||
| It's absolutely imperative that Joe can't go to Congress for many, many, many reasons. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| One, he's a leader of this movement, particularly getting veterans in. | ||
| What are your thoughts about that, Joe? | ||
| We can galvanize this moment right here by not letting the establishment take the narrative. | ||
| They're going to try to hide behind the valor of those brave Marines that were pushed out into those crowds without the proper force protection, without a proper mission, and without really proper leadership. | ||
| They're going to try and hide behind that valor. | ||
| We need to honor those Marines and the soldier and the sailor and tell their story and speak their names. | ||
| We must do that. | ||
| They are absolute heroes, but we cannot let the leadership and we cannot let the permanent ruling class slide on this. | ||
| The reason why they were out there is because the only part of this Afghan withdrawal that was actually planned was what those poor soldiers and Marines and sailors were doing. | ||
| They were trying to pull in Afghans off the street, essentially, into the airfield so they could get put onto aircraft and taken to America. | ||
| That was the only priority that the command had, and that's very, very clear right now, and that is an absolute travesty. | ||
| It's an absolute disgrace. | ||
| We have over two decades of learning how to fortify our positions, the entry points of our positions, against the threat of suicide bombers. | ||
| I guarantee you every single non-commissioned officer and even some of the junior enlisted there that saw that problem that they were challenged with, They knew that they were going to be attacked because they saw how vulnerable they were. | ||
| The only reason they were pushed out there is because of their leadership. | ||
| We know this to be true. | ||
| We know how we're trained. | ||
| We know how we fight. | ||
| I guarantee you that's exactly what happened. | ||
| And we must have accountability for it. | ||
| This is because of the top-down driven culture that is absolutely toxic in our military right now. | ||
| And Joe Biden and Secretary of Defense Austin and the rest of his commissars, they're the ones that are driving this. | ||
| So everyone that's known better, they have to start speaking up and getting active. | ||
| Real quickly, Joe, how do people get to your website, find more about you, and join the crusade to get you into Congress? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Please go to joekentforcongress.com. | ||
| I'm going against one of the Republican impeachment voters who's being supported by Kevin McCarthy, and even my own state GOP is trying to bring in unvetted Afghan refugees into my state. | ||
| So we're getting nothing from the establishment, and we're fighting the far left. | ||
| joekentforcongress.com. | ||
| Please help us out. | ||
| Okay, Joe Kent just got the endorsement of President Trump. | ||

The United States is the commander-in-chief. | |

| That's what he said. | ||
| But then he said Trump did various things and kind of said it was complicated. | ||
| It was going to be complicated. | ||
| Listen, the President of the United States has the ability to help our troops have enough men and women to stay safe. | ||
| In all of our history, in all of the time that we have been fighting, where did you leave these men and women? | ||
| But in one airport, one location, one gate, To funnel thousands through. | ||
| And who did you trust? | ||
| You trusted our enemy to allow who would come through. | ||

| Your daughter-in-law was at Dover with her mom and did have some words, have a short conversation with President Biden. | ||

| And she represented our family well by being there to meet my son. | ||
| We gave her a chance to grieve. | ||

| Okay, I want to thank Captain Bannon and the staff at Real America's Voice for putting that tribute together. | ||
| Big story in the Daily Mail right now. | ||
| We led with the lead story in the Daily Mail about the gaslighting of the White House, about this conversation with the President of Afghanistan. | ||
| But the second lead story is about Junior staffers, middle-level staffers at the White House disgusted that they left Americans behind. | ||
| Left Americans behind. | ||
| I got to tell you, this is why we're going to continue to pursue actually what happened in the chain of command. | ||
| The chain of command there at Abbey Gate. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because those 13 heroes deserve it. | ||
| They deserve to get a full... You heard Joe Kent there talking about all the procedures, all the evolutions you go through that we've done this. | ||
| Thousands, not thousands, tens of thousands of times in the Middle East. | ||
| Since the Gulf War, but hey, since the Iraq and Afghanistan War. | ||
| It's a normal procedure. | ||
| And the mother there on Laura Ingram. | ||
| We didn't play, the other mother, we didn't play because we'd gotten too emotional. | ||
| She was calling to the radio show the other day and was absolutely beside herself. | ||
| These parents, you know, their hearts have been torn out. | ||
| And they're not going to be silent. | ||
| They're not going to be silent. | ||
| This is beyond politics. | ||
| This is beyond Biden's approval numbers. | ||
| But they're going to continue to sink in because here you have two 1% in this country. | ||
| You have the 1% of the elites, right? | ||
| The 1% that has a concentration of wealth and and controls and basically has Washington, D.C. | ||
| in their in their back pocket, the Uniparty. | ||
| And then you have the 1% that in the all-volunteer force have consistently, over the last 30, 40, 50 years, served, and particularly during a shooting war. | ||
| And that's why it's so incredible these young people, who were not even born, or many were just babies at 9-11, would volunteer for this. | ||
| But it's absolutely incumbent, absolutely incumbent, that the chain of command understand they know they're going to harm's way, but it can't be gross recklessness. | ||
| This is only just started. | ||
| And Biden and these people around him understand they're not going to be able to spin it. | ||
| And there are, I think, decent people, especially from them, that are going to start coming forward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| You're seeing this right now in the Daily Mail. | ||
| It's a big headline. | ||
| There are staffers over at the White House right now. | ||
| The word is disgusted. | ||
| about how they left American citizens behind to the tender mercies of the Taliban. | ||
| Captain Bannon, I really want to thank you for working with the Real America's Voice team and putting together that very powerful tribute to our honored dead. | ||
| Any thoughts, observations, particularly about Joe Biden and the military chain of command? | ||
| I think they need to be held accountable. | ||
| What happened over there is completely disgraceful. | ||
| Those 13 heroes should be alive and home with their families, and their families should not have to be burying their sons and daughters. | ||
| And that entire administration from the top down needs to be held accountable for this. | ||
| You know, the one person that they've held accountable is Lieutenant Colonel Scheller. | ||
| Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, there's only been one person, I just want to make sure, particularly people who are her surveillance have not served or are not part of the active duty military or are not veterans. | ||
| There has been one person relieved for cause. | ||
| That is the Kafkaesque nature of what we are. | ||
| In this whole fiasco, Right? | ||
| The whole fiasco, with people left behind, even allies left behind, but the refugees, as Joe Kent said, all the refugees here sent to go to the United States, to go up to Wisconsin, to go to Texas, right? | ||
| Been planned since April, with the culture, the appropriate food. | ||
| And by the way, we're a huge believer in getting them out of the country, but keep them in the region. | ||
| In all of that, in all of this, one person has been held accountable. | ||
| One person has been relieved for cause. | ||
| That's Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, Stu Scheller. | ||
| He put something up on his Instagram, or on LinkedIn, I think it was. | ||
| I happened to see it from some veteran friends of mine. | ||
| We talked, and we played it to open the show on Friday morning. | ||
| At 1430, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller was relieved for cause, and he said he was going to be relieved for cause. | ||
| He also jumped, got ahead of the Marine Corps and basically resigned on Sunday. | ||
| Threw away a career. | ||
| He said, I've been here 18 years. | ||
| I'm throwing away my pension. | ||
| I'm throwing away a chance for promotion. | ||
| And people, everybody said he was a hot runner. | ||
| It's like Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeyer and the Air Force and the Critical Race and everything. | ||
| These are hot runners. | ||
| He's the best of the best. | ||
| Threw it away. | ||
| 17, 18 years. | ||
| In combat, as a Marine. | ||
| Do it away. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He just said what Captain Banner said. | ||
| People have to be held accountable. | ||
| And I'm going to make a stink and draw attention to the fact that you guys have to be held accountable. | ||
| This should not have happened. | ||
| And right now, everybody, including, you know, the general in charge of CENTCOM, was at McKenzie, was just doing an unbelievable, awful job. | ||
| And nobody would step up to it. | ||
| Now we get from, I think, Colonel Scheller's Facebook page, is that General Berger, the commandant of the Marine Corps, is trying to court-martial him. | ||
| There's gonna be some blowback on that. | ||
| We kind of dare you. | ||
| Yeah, try it. | ||
| We're gonna make you infamous, okay? | ||
| You're not gonna start picking on these officers that are beyond reproach and tremendous heroism, right? | ||
| And now you're gonna try to court-martial a guy that's actually stood up and you haven't? | ||
| Eleven Marines are dead. | ||
| General Berger, what are you going to do about it? | ||
| The chain of command comes right up to you, right? | ||
| The combatant commander's in charge. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| But this is also a Marine Corps thing. | ||
| And by the way, nobody reveres the Marines more than the Navy and more than naval officers. | ||
| What the Marines go through, their toughness, their dedication. | ||
| They're always there as the tip of the spear for America. | ||
| And this is, we're in a crisis. | ||
| We're in an institutional crisis. | ||
| And the way you get out of institutional crises is that you have leadership. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return. | ||
| Captain Ben and myself, we've got a lot to go through, a lot of wood to chop here. | ||
| Then we're going to talk about tomorrow's show. | ||
| I really want to thank everybody who's been associated with helping us put this together. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return in the War Room in just a moment. | ||

| Captain Bannon, give me your thoughts on this. | ||
| Give me your thoughts on Stu Scheller. | ||
| I think you told me they're trying to blame this now or implying that it's because of PTSD. | ||
| Is that just rumor or are they trying to actually pin that on him? | ||
| The Marine Corps is actually trying to pin it on PTSD and say they're looking out for his mental health and that's why he spoke out against the Corps and the administration. | ||
| That's not. | ||
| It's a sweeping under the rug. | ||
| of what they actually need to do. | ||
| They need to be held accountable, leadership, and to blame it on PTSD is discrediting any veteran that actually suffers from PTSD from their deployment or any other major stress stressor. | ||
| But a lot of vets come back with PTSD and by saying that you're discrediting all of those veterans. | ||
| The Marine Corps needs to be held accountable and the senior leaders of this administration need to be held accountable as well. | ||
| Well, I don't think the Lieutenant Colonel spoke out against the Corps. | ||
| I think he spoke out against the leaders, some of the leadership. | ||
| And obviously, something's got to happen. | ||
| As Joe Kent said, this is an evolution that's done all the time. | ||
| Remember, we're going to play it hopefully tomorrow or the next day. | ||
| We'll play that whole sequence of Seth Moulton, the PBS footage, which shows what these young men and women were doing. | ||
| They're basically doing crowd control in the middle of the crowd. | ||
| And tens of thousands, as Joe Kent said, funneling through there. | ||
| And you had Anderson Cooper. | ||
| And Seth Moulton sitting there going, the Taliban was doing the crowd control. | ||
| Their part of it was with horse whips, pipes, and sticks to beat the people. | ||
| And the young Marines had to hold that back. | ||
| We've got to get to the bottom of all of this. | ||
| We've got to get to the bottom of what happened strategically. | ||
| They've gotten it right now. | ||
| Jen Psaki's not answering the basic questions. | ||
| She's not answering the question of a readout that's been put out, the script of the call, just like they leaked the one from President Trump that's out there. | ||
| And he's essentially asking the Afghan president to kind of lie, to say, hey, it's not as bad as you got to put forth. | ||
| It's not as bad as it looks. | ||
| And it looks like, unless we know more, he had one 12-minute call with the guy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's not really the type of support you think we need in a situation that particularly after 20 years. | ||
| Look, I was never a guy that thought much of the Afghan central government. | ||
| I thought the nation building thing that was ridiculous, although Joe Biden's lying. | ||
| He was one of the big supporters of that in the early years of the war back in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. | ||
| I think he co-sponsored. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| And now you have reports coming out of the White House that mid-level and junior staffers are disgusted. | ||
| They're part of it. | ||
| They'll be staying forever with this thing of leaving Americans behind and leaving the commandos and leaving some of the interpreters. | ||
| That's why you have all these veterans groups. | ||
| All these veterans groups are working non-stop, putting their own money, trying to get people that fought with them. | ||
| And they're not saying, hey, you've got to come to the United States, but I've got to get them away from the Taliban. | ||
| But the big thing today, besides the numbers, was the endorsement of Parnell and Joe Kent, right? | ||
| This shows you President Trump fully understands what this movement's about, and these veterans of the Afghan and the veterans of the Iraq War are going to be at the forefront, the tip of the spear, turning this around. | ||
| Captain Bannon, do you have any thoughts on that? | ||
| We've got a couple minutes left. | ||
| I think it's great that both men were endorsed, and just to show that once veterans get out of the military, just because we hang up our uniform doesn't mean that we stop The oath that we took to defend the Constitution and those two great gentlemen have continued what they swore to defend in the service and they continue to do that now and they will both be great in office. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, so a lot to go through. | ||
| We're going to be back tomorrow at 10 o'clock. | ||
| We're going to have an explosive show. | ||
| Part of it is going through a more detailed analysis of reality. | ||
| Remember the math of approval ratings. | ||
| People go, why Trump? | ||
| Hey, because it talks about political capital. | ||
| Joe Biden more than ever needs political capital, not just to try to reform his geopolitics and national security. | ||
| More importantly, here's what they're going to try to do. | ||
| In the next till now to the end of September 1st of October, they're going to try to jam through historic spending bills. | ||
| And these just aren't any spending bills. | ||
| The scale of them and the trains of dollars that come up to, I think, five or six trillion dollars will transform the country. | ||
| The most the most important thing will transform is the balance sheet. | ||
| You have an income statement of a balance sheet. | ||
| The balance sheet, as you know, and your own personal balance sheet, that's what kind of gives you anchor to windward. | ||
| They're going to destroy the balance sheet of the United States and put the burden on you, the full faith and credit is on you. | ||
| So we're going to go through a ton of that. | ||
| Also, tomorrow night, we're going to be, I think, in Georgia, northern Georgia. | ||
| Ben Berquam, Amanda Head, they're going to be there, and Jeremy, you're going to be there. | ||
| They're taking the bus tour to kind of hear real America's voice, to hear real Americans and what they think. | ||
| So we're going to do the pitch to them, toss it to them tomorrow night, and I'm actually going to take, I think, a couple, three questions from the audience, give a short talk, take a couple, three questions. | ||
| So, real America's voice, now in Wichita. | ||
| Other affiliates being announced. | ||
| I want to thank everybody. | ||
| I want to thank everybody helping us produce the second hour. | ||
| Maureen, thank you very much. | ||
