The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Elections have consequences. | ||
| Stone elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| And we're dealing with it right now. | ||
| Folks in Ukraine are definitely dealing with it. | ||
| This reckless. | ||
| How do I say this? | ||
| This reckless, illegitimate regime. | ||
| What they think. | ||
| Think about where the world was. | ||
| Before the Chinese Communist Party dropped the bioweapon from the Wuhan lab. | ||
| Yes, I said it, and it's true, and you know it's true. | ||
| Right? | ||
| More and more details coming on that every day. | ||
| We're gonna spend more time on that tomorrow. | ||
| From when President Trump was, and even going through the carnage and the firestorm of that. | ||
| What he handed off to Joe Biden in one year. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, when you start playing with fire, Watch it, you're going to get burned. | ||
| And what's happening in Ukraine right now? | ||
| Where's all the tough guys? | ||
| Where's all the tough talk? | ||
| Where are these tough guys? | ||
| Where's all this tough talk? | ||
| People in Ukraine want to know. | ||
| They're taking incoming from guys, and these guys in the KGB, these guys like Putin, they don't play around. | ||
| They get smashed mouth. | ||
| They don't play around. | ||
| And so what's happening to the folks in Ukraine right now? | ||
| And these things can get out of control quickly. | ||
| Already report right now of potential Chinese combat sorties around Taiwan. | ||
| They're pressing the entire time. | ||
| South China Sea. | ||
| And Taiwan and up there in the border in the northwest frontier of India, you watch. | ||
| These are areas of the world that are tinderboxes. | ||
| And you think you've got an economy right now that's crabbing sideways and out of control with inflation? | ||
| Taiwan is Silicon Valley West. | ||
| That is absolutely. | ||
| Leave your moral thing aside. | ||
| Or do we defend the Taiwanese and the democracy and what's happened there and all the great people from the nationalists that that essentially the State Department stabbed him in the back in 1949? | ||
| Let's be brutally frank about how we lost China. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How we lost China of the communist and the fellow travelers that were rife and deep into our government. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That that that that basically lost China this whole mess started with that right in 1949 And you see what's happening in Taiwan right now? | ||
| Leave aside all the moral issues, everything like that. | ||
| Think of your own. | ||
| Just get down to the practicality. | ||
| Your life would change dramatically. | ||
| It is Silicon Valley West. | ||
| Only 10%, I think, of total chip manufacturing is done in the United States now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
10%. | |
| The rest in Taiwan and some in mainland China. | ||
| But Taiwan's absolutely essential, particularly high-end chips. | ||
| Which basically drive the modern economy, the world economy. | ||
| So, and if you're in Taiwan today, and you see what these reckless, hapless, feckless individuals have done in Ukraine, and she's every bit as tough and brutal and a criminal as Putin is, okay? | ||
| So stand by for heavy rolls. | ||
| You know, we're into it now. | ||
| This is what a fourth turning is about, and what happens is you have these guys like Biden, the corrupt, incompetent, he's part of the system, he's been here for 50 years, been here since 20, what is he, 30 years old? | ||
| Been here the entire, his entire life, doing nothing, hanging around, right? | ||
| Causing the demise, the managed decline. | ||
| There's managed decline and President Trump was able to thwart that when he stepped up and defeated the Clinton mafia, right? | ||
| For four years and trying to turn this thing around and fighting the administrative state every day. | ||
| And now you're not, I'm not so sure you're in managed decline, I think you're in absolute free fall. | ||
| From the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| By the way, we're going to just make sure they understand something. | ||
| And I don't care how much media matters and mediaite and MSNBC doesn't like to hear it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| He's getting impeached. | ||
| You do understand we're going to win 40 or 50 or 60 seats. | ||
| He's getting impeached. | ||
| We're impeaching him. | ||
| Number one, on the southern border. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Number two, on this fiasco right now in the Ukraine. | ||
| And we're going to get into every detail of every penny his family stole out of there from the Ukrainian people. | ||
| From the kleptocrats in Ukraine that were his partners. | ||
| We're gonna get to every penny, to the fifth decimal place of everything the Clintons and Biden and these corrupt Democrats have taken off, that have skimmed off the top. | ||
| And now you see it right there. | ||
| Where's all the tough talk? | ||
| Where's Joe Biden? | ||
| Where's his tough talk? | ||
| Tough talking Joe. | ||
| They called you bluff, dude. | ||
| Called you bluff. | ||
| And you're sitting there with no face cards. | ||
| You're not paying for it. | ||
| You're sitting up here in 16 Pennsylvania. | ||
| Your son's running around in art galleries selling that crap he calls art, that pornography he calls art. | ||
| You want to see the Biden family? | ||
| You want to know everything you want to know about the Biden family? | ||
| Go to Jack Maxey's Twitter account. | ||
| Just read Miranda Devine's book and go to Jack Maxey's site or contact Jack Maxey. | ||
| Contact Jack Maxey, DM him on Twitter, and have Jack Maxey walk you through the laptop from hell. | ||
| Because Jack will go through it chapter and verse, he'll show you. | ||
| You come for the pornography and you stay for the compromise. | ||
| Disgusting, revolting, revolting. | ||
| And there the Chinese Communist Party's paying them off left and right, but that's after they sucked as much money out of the Ukraine as they can. | ||
| Remember, this is when Putin calls you a bluff, he says, hey, you've turned the Ukraine into a colony, a Clinton colony. | ||
| Clinton cash, they stole as much money they could out of Haiti, out of Sub-Saharan Africa, and then they're in Ukraine, stealing it with both hands. | ||
| With both hands. | ||
| In the day of judgments here, and we're all the tough talkers. | ||
| Are they taking incomings from Putin? | ||
| Are they sitting there sheltering in place? | ||
| Are they preparing for impact? | ||
| Your polling is now, in the teens, among independents, is going to single digits. | ||
| You're getting impeached. | ||
| You won't be thrown out of office. | ||
| You won't be removed from office because there's not enough spine in the Democratic Party in the Senate to throw you out to get the votes. | ||
| But you are getting impeached on at least two counts. | ||
| And I can't wait for that. | ||
| Trump on a perfect phone call. | ||
| They spent weeks and weeks and weeks and all the guys on MSNBC, they impeach them all up there. | ||
| They're all up there. | ||
| Vindman and that whole crowd, Fiona Hill, Vindman, all of them speaking that nonsense. | ||
| Julian Reed, the white supremacists, all you care about, the Atlanticists, all they care about is themselves and Europe. | ||
| It's a big world out there. | ||
| What about taking down the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| What about freeing the slave labor of the Chinese people? | ||
| And breaking... Oh, if we did that, we would break the business model of the Party of Davos. | ||
| The World Economic Forum wouldn't make as much money then. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| That's why we don't do it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Understand it. | ||
| And they're also Asian. | ||
| They're Chinese. | ||
| They don't count. | ||
| They don't count. | ||
| But in Davos, Switzerland, that all counts. | ||
| In Brussels, that all counts. | ||
| In Cambridge, that all counts. | ||
| Up there with Harvard, right? | ||
| New York City, that all counts. | ||
| Washington, D.C. | ||
| Joanne, what are you doing? | ||
| All you're doing is talking to the White Supremacy Award. | ||
| That's all it is? | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| Revolting. | ||
| And look who's paying for it. | ||
| Where's tough-talking Joe Biden? | ||
| Is Hunter Biden over there today? | ||
| Is Hunter Biden over there with his business partners? | ||
| He's sitting there with the Ukraine flag. | ||
| Where's Hunter? | ||
| Is he in his art gallery? | ||
| Is he with more strippers? | ||
| Is he smoking more crack? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Don't ask me, go to the laptop. | ||
| Oh, that was Russian disinformation. | ||
| No, we proved that was a lie. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| Absolutely disgusting and revolting. | ||
| I want to bring in now, Joe Reek, My Patriot Supply. | ||
| I'm trying to get Joe and the virtual Philip Patrick on, because I think today's the day you want to hear from these guys. | ||
| Joe, one of the things our audience loves is the way that you guys have people online, people on the phones they can call and talk through the generators, all of it. | ||
| But I have to assume today that your lines are a little, you're running a little hot on the switchboard there, sir, at My Patriot Supply. | ||
| Well, since yesterday evening, you know, our phones have exploded and orders have increased overnight tenfold. | ||
| You know, our customers are preparing for what they're seeing, what they're waking up to today in Ukraine. | ||
| And that's probably the top of their list right now. | ||
| You know, they're talking about increased cyber attacks. | ||
| They're worried about rising gas prices as well as the stock market crashing. | ||
| And so now more than ever is more important to get prepared. | ||
| I mean, they understand the value of having something that they can put inside of their home that has a shelf life of up to 25 years, a product that doesn't only stand the test of time, but also stands up against inflation, you know, and they see this as a solid investment for them, for them to be able to take care of their, their, uh, take care of their family, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, now it's just getting crazy. | |
| Okay, here's what I want because, you know, people say, oh, my patrons are these crazy preppers and all these guys moving up to the backwoods of Montana. | ||
| I want this audience to take a deep breath and I want to make sure one of the things here about action and using your agency is to immerse yourself in information. | ||
| You have to make your own decisions. | ||
| What we try to do is provide the access to information you can immerse yourself in and then make your own decisions as a free man and woman. | ||
| Joe, more than ever, people need to understand about preparing for the future. | ||
| You should think in the world of all bets are off. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because you see what happened. | ||
| Look in Ukraine this morning. | ||
| Hell, it looks like 1914. | ||
| Looks like August 1914. | ||
| Or it looks like September 1939. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Right there. | ||
| Almost in black and white. | ||
| Looks like old black and white photography. | ||
| So all bets are off. | ||
| You need to take responsibility for you personally. | ||
| You need to take responsibility for your family. | ||
| You and your family. | ||
| You do that. | ||
| We're going to get through this. | ||
| We'll be fine. | ||
| But you need to take that key responsibility. | ||
| So how do they do that, Joe? | ||
| That's exactly what we try to teach all of our customers is you need to be prepared yourself. | ||
| You need to worry about what are you going to do for you and your family. | ||
| You know, we we try to help that out. | ||
| You know, we are prepared here at My Patriot Supply. | ||
| You know, that's what we are about, you know, and we're helping Americans prepare right now for the things that we know is coming. | ||
| And, you know, all of our three large warehouses, Steve, they're fully stocked with freshly packed foods. | ||
| Our customer service team, our sales team, our shipping team, we're all working overtime today as well as the weekend to make sure we get these orders shipped out, you know, on time and to help people become better prepared. | ||
| I mean, this is stuff we've been talking about for months and we're starting to see it. | ||
| And now is the time to start doing it before things even get worse, Steve. | ||
| Joe, how do people get access to the phone lines? | ||
| Who do they call? | ||
| What are the numbers? | ||
| What's the website? | ||
| How do people, if they want to get involved now and want to get more information, where do they go? | ||
| Call us directly. | ||
| The number is 866-229-0927. | ||
| Our preparedness advisors are standing by. | ||
| The phones are blowing up, so if you don't get through the first time, keep calling, keep calling. | ||
| We will get to you. | ||
| Leave a message, we will call you back. | ||
| Also visit our website, mypatriotsupply.com. | ||
| You can see a whole array of items that you need for emergencies, whether it's long-term food storage, whether it's survival backpacks, whether it's water, whether it's, you know, solar generators, anything that you might need for a disaster, for an emergency. | ||
| We're stocked, ready to go here at MyPatriotSupply. | ||
| Joe Reek, VP over at MyPatriotSupply, thank you for taking time away. | ||
| I know it's busy out there for coming on and talking to folks. | ||
| All right, be safe. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Okay, let's go to Occupy Europe and Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Ben, tell me, what's the view from the capitals over there, particularly Brussels and all these big talkers that now they've kind of left the Ukrainian people out on a limb, and they got their bluff called by a bunch of bad hombres, right? | ||
| So give us our status report. | ||
| Yes, Steve, it's basically crickets. | ||
| It's exactly as we said yesterday on the show. | ||
| It's just talk, basically, based on sanctions. | ||
| Let's have a quick look at what the world leaders around Europe have been saying over the last few hours. | ||
| Well, Foreign Secretary, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that she summoned the Russian ambassador to explain Russia's illegal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and that the UK would be imposing severe sanctions, which I'm sure terrified the ambassador. | ||
| Moving on to Germany, Alphonse Meiss, who's the head of the German army, said via his account on LinkedIn that the Bundeswehr, the German army which he's in command of, is standing there, that is to say in Ukraine, more or less empty-handed and the options we can offer the government in support of the alliance are extremely limited. | ||
| In fact, German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht announced also today, I have given an order to expand and extend our engagement in the air policing of Romania. | ||
| I think we should just let that sink in for a moment. | ||
| Moving on to France, President Emmanuel Macron said that he was going to respond Without weakness to Russia's act of war against Ukraine, saying that Russia could expect tough sanctions. | ||
| After the break, I'll come back with NATO's response. | ||
| Ben, hang on. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Darren Beatty, Boris Epstein, Ben Harnwall join us on the unfolding situation in Ukraine. | ||

We rejoice when there is no more, let's take down the CCP! | |
| Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| OK, we're going to we're going to go from the gaslighting that the corporate media is doing right now about Ukraine and the economy, right, because of the dumpster fire that's the Biden economy. | ||
| Remember, There's two created crises here. | ||
| There's the crisis of what Biden's done, his illegitimate regime's done to this economy through overspending, through shutting down, using this crazy, you know, decarbonization, Green New Deal to shut down oil and gas, take oil and gas from $42 a barrel to 90, what, $2 or $3 a barrel. | ||
| Everything he's done with the supply chains being terrible the American Recovery Act throwing the demand side of the equation here Driving inflation through the roof on the consumer price and the producer price numbers. | ||
| We haven't seen since Jimmy Carter That's a creative crisis now He's got the credit crisis the Biden that Putin called his bluff called his bluff and the Ukrainian people are paying the price called his bluff So you have two crises? | ||
| That ain't nothing. | ||
| And you got ABC and CBS now are running around like you're fools and idiots. | ||
| Oh, the inflation is going to be driven by the broken supply chain current and wheat and the natural gas. | ||
| All crap. | ||
| All crap. | ||
| I'm going to give you a reality check. | ||
| OK, right now, Reuters, not war room, Reuters reporting that Taiwanese air defense scrambling fighters to say to China, China is prodding already. | ||
| Into their air defense space, okay? | ||
| Probing into their air defense space. | ||
| Then there's another tweet up here that says, and these numbers may be a little over the top, there's another tweet I want to put up here. | ||
| If we lose Taiwan, Let's leave all that aside. | ||
| What we should do morally and ethically. | ||
| I'm talking practically. | ||
| If we lose Taiwan, the American empire will collapse and civil war may kick off. | ||
| Losing Taiwan means losing, wait for it, 30% of our GDP overnight. | ||
| Now that may be a little over the top, but let me say something. | ||
| There's Silicon Valley West. | ||
| The large bulk majority. | ||
| We only produce 10% of our chips here in the United States. | ||
| Now we've got all these programs to kind of do more. | ||
| Factories being built all over in Arizona and other places. | ||
| That's all great. | ||
| That is years before it has an impact, okay? | ||
| You just don't throw up a chip plant. | ||
| And production of this is highly, not just technical, it's almost like a craft, right? | ||
| It's almost like a craft, like an art. | ||
| As much art as there's science. | ||
| We lose Taiwan, and trust me, there's a grim day here in the United States. | ||
| And it's going to take a lot more. | ||
| Look, I, as a young naval officer, South China Sea, the first deployment, South China Sea and the Straits of Taiwan were our beat. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| It's going to take a lot more than two carrier battle groups. | ||
| That's what we've got there now. | ||
| It's going to take a lot more than two carrier battle groups. | ||
| And if you think Xi and Wang Qishan, those guys in Beijing, are looking around and going, look at this. | ||
| Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden. | ||
| This is the team. | ||
| It looks like the couch at Animal House, right? | ||
| Or maybe the Addams Family. | ||
| I haven't picked out which one yet. | ||
| Elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| I just want the American people to understand the catastrophic consequences this illegitimate regime has brought on the American people, have brought on the people of Ukraine, have brought on the world community. | ||
| I just want you to think about it. | ||
| Just, just, just, just think about it. | ||
| What this regime has done in one year to destroy this country, to destroy this country, And judgment day is coming, okay? | ||
| Because after the 8th of November, and that's when we've got to have tough, tough, tough people in these races. | ||
| Enough of this happy talk. | ||
| Tough people. | ||
| They're prepared to act and hold people accountable. | ||
| Ben we're crammed for time and I'm sorry for going on and on but I got to get this off my chest I want to hear specifically from occupied Europe. | ||
| I want to hear that I want to hear all the tough talk I want to hear what NATO and the EU Please tell me somebody's there to say one of these guys is sitting there saying we got You know as the people in Ukraine are taking incoming What are what's NATO in Brussels and what's the EU in Brussels saying sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I? | |
| Well, Steve, as the people in Ukraine are taking incoming, so is Moscow. | ||
| Moscow is taking a heavy barrage of ordinance and that ordinance that the West is dropping are words. | ||
| And Jens Stoltenberg had some nice words as well this morning. | ||
| He said there are no NATO combat troops, no NATO troops at all inside Ukraine. | ||
| We have made it clear that we won't, that we don't have any plans and intention of deploying NATO troops to Ukraine. | ||
| He also said, which I thought was a marvellous example of happy talk, he said, NATO is the strongest alliance in history and make no mistake, we will defend every ally against any attack and every inch of NATO territory. | ||
| He said that an attack on one ally will trigger a response. | ||
| From the whole alliance. | ||
| somewhat missing the point and the subtleties of the of the fact that Ukraine is not famously an aid. But hold it, hold it, hold it, stop, stop. Article 5, let's say what it really is. It's a trigger for the United States of America to come and bail them out. That's what it is. Your sons and daughters and your money. You're about to see a budget come up here, a one and a half trillion dollar annual deficit with a 5 percent increase in the defense budget. And if defense budget really count up, it's a trillion dollars a year, one | ||
| trillion dollars. The guys in Norway, I love Norwegians. Don't get me wrong. They got a sovereign wealth fund of nine hundred billion dollars off of North Sea oil. And they're the smartest investors in the world. | ||
| They pay 1.5%, they don't even hit 2%. | ||
| They came to give a little something for the effort, right? | ||
| Came to give a little something for the effort. | ||
| It's a joke. | ||
| What Stoltenberg's saying right there, if anything happens, they come to any of our guys, America will show up, 82nd Airborne will be there. | ||
| Right? | ||
| American boys and girls and American money and American muscle. | ||
| That's what Article 5 is. | ||
| Let's just say what it is. | ||
| Let's have an adult conversation. | ||
| One thing, Putin had an adult conversation the other night with the Russian people, kind of told them what they were going to do. | ||
| And he just said, hey, I don't think Ukraine's a real country. | ||
| So in Stoltenberg Day, no native troops there. | ||
| What's the EU saying, Ben Harnwell? | ||
| So the EU, Ursula von der Leyen, said we will block Russian assets and she also promised heavy and targeted sanctions. | ||
| So that's basically the response. | ||
| It's words. | ||
| And here's, Steve, my take on this, right? | ||
| I actually think that the Russian invasion of Ukraine began and ended on the 30th of August of last year. | ||
| And what we're seeing today are the consequences. | ||
| Of the 30th of August. | ||
| What happened on the 30th of August? | ||
| Well, that was Joe Biden's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan. | ||
| And I think that signalled to Moscow that the United States is just, it's the world's remaining superpower with China nipping at the heels. | ||
| It's a superpower in the hands of a weak man. | ||
| Projecting weakness. | ||
| And by that, Steve, I do not mean that America should guarantee global security. | ||
| What I mean is that it comes down to something as simple as personal authority. | ||
| When Donald Trump was in the White House, world leaders, other people like Xi and Vladimir Putin, they would be sitting in their presidential palaces thinking, if I do X, what will Donald Trump do? | ||
| Because I don't want him to do X, I don't want him to do Y, right? | ||
| And so, what America's response was, was important to these other players. | ||
| I do not believe Vladimir Putin has spent a great deal of time in his invasion of the Ukraine trying to second-guess the United States, or NATO, or the EU, or anybody. | ||
| And that is the situation. | ||
| And that is why weakness, projected weakness, has, as you say, Steve, it has catastrophic consequences for world peace. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, how do people get you on Getter? | ||
| I know you're putting stuff up all day. | ||
| Yeah, I'm on Getter and the account is at Harnwell. | ||
| At Harnwell, which is my surname. | ||
| Ben, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for your analysis. | ||
| Let's go to Darren Beattie of revolver.news. | ||
| Darren, give us your assessment of where we stand in this entire fiasco. | ||
| Well, there's a couple of things I think worth saying. | ||
| I think the typical messages coming out of the Right. | ||
| In response to this, some of the main messages stand, I think, in a little bit of tension. | ||
| On the one side, you hear a lot of people saying, well, you know, this is because Biden is weak. | ||
| Presumably, if Trump were in there, he would be much stronger. | ||
| Biden's weakness is the problem and so forth. | ||
| And there's a lot of truth to that. | ||
| But to advocate strength presupposes a | ||
| Enough of a strategic interest in this region, enough of a strategic interest in involving ourselves in this issue, so as to justify the exercise of strength versus, say, using the strength in some other domain, or perhaps understanding that this is more in Russia's strategic interest than it is in ours. | ||
| In Eurasia, in this part of Eurasia, do we have a dog in the fight, Darren Beattie? | ||
| Well, we have a dog, but it's a very small dog, and it's not a dog worth expending a tremendous amount of political capital and quote-unquote strength on. | ||
| And so I think this is something that is kind of | ||
| Eli did perhaps in some cases deliberately in the kind of talking points that you see on this is that yes, generally speaking strength is good, but it's also good to Efficiently and intelligently and strategically allocate one's political capital and resources And I think the issue of Russia the problem with Russia for us is that it's been a disaster in terms of allocating our resources correctly the Mearsheimer lecture that you pointed out makes a great case that there's a | ||
| a tremendous asymmetry in terms of our strategic interests there compared to Russia's, which means that maybe we should just leave that alone a bit in exchange for cooperation with Russia in areas where we have a greater degree of strategic interest. | ||
| So I think it's just kind of important to put that on the table that people talk about strength, which is good and important, but this presupposes what should we actually be doing? | ||
| And I think the implication there, at least in some instances, is that we should be sending troops into the Ukraine. | ||
| We should be, you know, escalating the situation when it's not necessarily in our interest to do so. | ||
| Darren, hang with us. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| Thank you. | ||
| I want to bring in Boris. | ||
| Boris, is this a smart move as you see it by Putin? | ||
| Because this is kind of a hard throwdown. | ||
| I don't think it is a smart move, Steve. | ||
| No, I think it's a mistake. | ||
| I think it's a geopolitical mistake. | ||
| I think it's a mistake for him domestically. | ||
| Putin's approval has been sliding in Russia. | ||
| But what he has offered Russians from 2000, when he first came into power, really on New Year's Eve 1999 to now, is some sense of stability. | ||
| Because the 90s and the 80s were a disastrous time that my family experienced, full of Full of poverty, full of crumbling systems, full of shortages. | ||
| And then the 90s were a dangerous time, full of violent crime, absolute uncertainty, and everything falling apart all around. | ||
| Putin offered stability. | ||
| It came in after those terrorist attacks where buildings in Russia were being bombed by Chechen terrorists. | ||
| So, now, to put Russia into war going west, first of all, it's rather unprecedented. | ||
| You know, yes, you had 08 in Georgia, and you had Crimea to the south in 1415, but this is one of the first times in really modern Russian history that you have an offensive undertaking going west. | ||
| You had North Finland In 1939, you could talk about Molotov-Ribbentrop as well as part of that non-aggression pact that obviously failed when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in 1941. | ||
| But in modern times, this is rather unprecedented. | ||
| I do not know how this is going to play out long term. | ||
| I will tell you that, from my understanding, the Russian people are not going to have a ton of appetite for seeing Ukrainians be killed as part of this undertaking. | ||
| And then of course, there's going to be casualties among the Russian military as well. | ||
| So a messy conflict like this reminds me of what happened in Afghanistan with the Soviet Union when Brezhnev went into Afghanistan in the late 70s, in 1979, to shore up some support domestically. | ||
| And that ended up really being the fall of the Soviet Union because they got stuck in Afghanistan as America sadly then followed suit with a debacle, total disaster of what Biden did in 2021 to wind that down. | ||
| But that is what this reminds me. | ||
| I'm interested in seeing how it plays out, but on its face. | ||
| To announce on a pre-taped, it seems, pre-taped speech at six in the morning local and then roll the troops west, to me, I think that he's going to have an issue domestically from that sort of move. | ||
| But I will tell you, here's the flip side of it though, Steve. | ||
| Ten more seconds. | ||
| Here's the flip side. | ||
| What this also shows is that an absolute lack of leadership, and we put this in my email this morning, total fecklessness from the West. | ||
| There's no way, there's absolutely no way that Putin would have done that with Donald J. Trump in the White House. | ||
| So as you've said time and time again, Elections have consequences, stolen elections have consequences, and also there's no doubt that the Davos folks, the party of Davos, all the fancy people all in the European capitals have no juice whatsoever. | ||
| Their bluff has been called. | ||
| So internationally, in terms of realist theory, this is again a move of strength, but I think long term it may prove to be a disaster for Putin domestically. | ||
| I want to just go, we've got about a minute on Biden and the domestic. | ||
| I mean, this guy has destroyed so many elements of this country right now. | ||
| The economy, the southern border, the military. | ||
| How do you see that? | ||
| They're all doing tough talk. | ||
| They're trying to make this a Cuban missile crisis, right? | ||
| How do you think this plays out? | ||
| Disaster, absolute disaster. | ||
| There's an article this morning, one of the mainstream outlets, saying that the Biden team knew from the beginning that these sanctions were never going to work. | ||
| I mean, this is an, again, this is an absolute and utter fail for Biden, for Sullivan, for Blinken. | ||
| And if the dominoes start to fall around the world, as in China and Taiwan, you're going to see Biden's political standing, which is already at zero, Fall absolutely through the floor. | ||
| This is proven, again, we don't need any more proof. | ||
| We've seen in Afghanistan and the southern border on the economy, on inflation, but this is, again, one more inch of proof. | ||
| Actually, one more yard of proof that Biden is feckless, that he's illegitimate, and he should not be anywhere near that White House. | ||
| He's ruining America domestically, and he's ruining America standing all across the world. | ||
| It's an embarrassing day. | ||
| It's an embarrassing day for Biden and his team. | ||
| Real quickly, how do people get to all your social media handles, coordinates? | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| We had a major email go out this morning on the lack of American leadership coming from Biden and his pathetic team, boriscp.com. | ||

| Okay, we're going to go out to the convoy, but do we have Matthew Tierman yet? | ||
| Let's go to Berlin. | ||
| We've got our own Matthew Tierman there. | ||
| Matthew, you're going farther east every time. | ||
| London, Paris, now Berlin. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what's happened since we had you on the last 24 hours. | ||
| Well, the goal was to continue going east and go to Ukraine, but Putin, I think, kiboshed my Eastern European late winter vacation. | ||
| I'm here in Berlin now. | ||
| I'll be heading to Warsaw. | ||
| There's definitely tension in Central and Eastern Europe because these people have lived through Sovietism and we are now going to see Soviet revanchism. | ||
| You know, Boris said it was unprecedented, but he did cite two examples of the first attempts of Putin to do so. | ||
| Georgia, 2008. | ||
| It was Lech Kaczynski, the then president of Poland, who perished in the 2010 plane crash in Smolensk in Russia, that helped stave that off by getting a much more engaged, yes, neocon, but engaged White House under W, George W. Bush, to help get the world together and say, no, Vladimir, you cannot start Building back the Soviet Union one small satellite state at a time. | ||
| Obviously Ukraine 2014 with a weak White House of Barack Obama, they did accomplish that. | ||
| We spoke yesterday and I know that there's a lot of, I don't want to call them Russophiliacs, but enough people who are soft on Russia and ignorant of the even recent pre-89 history Who are saying we need to make common cause with Russia because they are Christian and they are defenders of Christendom. | ||
| Well, there's nothing Christian about invading your neighbors, murdering people, and poisoning your political opposition, including poisoning them in other countries. | ||
| Look, these are communist type Thoughts Russia and China it should not be a surprise to anybody that they have found each other Russia is less and less scared of Western sanctions because China's got more reserves than any country in the world probably in aggregate more reserves than every country in the world and can buffer a A state that is geographically close, that has similar ambitions, and a similar philosophy. | ||
| The Cultural Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution. | ||
| These are the root causes of these government structures. | ||
| This is the catalyst for building these governments. | ||
| Taiwan's going to be attacked. | ||

|
Matthew, hang on for a second. | |
| Does the United States specifically have really a dog in this fight in this part of Ukraine? | ||
| Don't you need the capitals of Berlin and Paris and Rome and London and Brussels? | ||
| And particularly Brussels has been egging this thing on for now since 2014. | ||
| I want to know where our great NATO allies are. | ||
| Where's this great alliance? | ||
| Where's the party of Davos? | ||
| Where's Klaus Schwab? | ||
| Where's all the big talkers? | ||
| Because they got their bluff called. | ||
| They got their bluff called by the hardcore KGB guys that run Russia. | ||
| They got their bluff called. | ||
| Where does that stand today? | ||
| Look, we talked about NATO. | ||
| We know NATO is just a technocrat joke of an institution. | ||
| After 1989, it did not have that many threats that had to keep it on edge and a tight institution. | ||
| It's as weak a military alliance in the last 20 years as has been because NATO existed to fight the Soviet threat and to be the paragon and the tip of the spear of the Cold War. | ||
| Cold War ended. | ||
| Francis Fukuyama was wrong. | ||
| It wasn't the end of history because we had a new war with global Islamofascism, and Putin beat his own Islamofascist back in Chechnya, but this is the design he's harbored for the entire time of his tenure. | ||
| When people tell you who they are, believe them. | ||
| He has said his whole public, visible life that the greatest tragedy that's befallen the geopolitical scene has been the breakup of the Soviet Union. | ||
| Well, now we're seeing in an opportune moment, he is doing what he wants to do. | ||
| The dog in our fight is not Donbass. | ||
| It's not Kharkiv. | ||
| It's not Luhansk. | ||
| Because those, we talked yesterday how Ukraine has been cobbled together. | ||
| Lviv in the West is a Polish-Galician-Austro-Hungarian town. | ||
| And Donbass and Kharkiv and Luhansk are mostly Russian nationals. | ||
| But Kiev is the capital of a Ukrainian state. | ||
| And by the way, those missiles that were sent this morning, they went in and around Kiev. | ||
| To disable a military response. | ||
| They went after the plane. | ||
| So they want to weaken Ukraine, obviously to cement gains that I don't think Putin really wanted in Donbass and Luhansk. | ||
| We forced his hand by saying, oh, it's going to be tomorrow. | ||
| Oh, it's going to be the next day. | ||
| So he had to take action. | ||
| But now he has opportunity. | ||
| And he is going to build the Crimean land bridge. | ||
| That's what he really wants. | ||
| Mariupol is under siege right now, and they're doing a pincer around Crimea because they attacked the air force base on the Kiev side of Crimea this morning. | ||
| It was one of the first places they hit because they do not want any forces to come in and defend from the ultimate goal, which is taking the Crimean land bridge in Mariupol. | ||
| But look, when you've got a thug who has territorial expansionist ambitions, we've seen this throughout all of human history, you know, original sin, people are venal, people are power hungry. | ||
| They will expand from there. | ||
| He goes to Kiev. | ||
| What's going to stop him? | ||
| And by the way, NATO has no response. | ||
| So why is he not going to continue what he's done on the fringes of the Baltics? | ||
| He already has economic imperial ambitions in the Balkans. | ||
| Half of the strategic businesses in many of the Balkan countries, the former Yugoslav Republics, are owned by Russian banks. | ||
| So this is going to continue. | ||
| You know, it's very easy for the intellectual elite to speak non-interventionism. | ||
| Neville Chamberlain had many apologists who said, oh, he's right. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| We've seen it again and again. | ||
| Power abhors a vacuum, and the West is weak. | ||
| It is led by defense ministers who are more interested in painting their toenails and talking LGBTQI transgender flag nonsense than building strong forces. | ||
| We've all seen, your viewers have seen, the different advertisements for the military. | ||
| Our woke military versus the Russian, you know, hard-ass military. | ||
| So now this is the logical next step of what is going to happen from our, you know, decades of decadence. | ||
| It's not going to end well. | ||

| This is day two. | ||
| Maureen, get us up to date on what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Steve. | |
| The Convoy is just rolling out right now. | ||
| I'm coming to you. | ||
| Great American people. | ||
| And yeah, the convoy, I don't know if you can hear the horns honking behind me, but they're rolling out. | ||
| We are starting our day. | ||
| So for people that want to assist, I take it you're on I-40 and it's going to be exit. | ||
| I want everybody in the audience to exit 357 to 359 on Frontage Road. | ||
| What time are you going to get there if people want to be there and meet you guys and assist, etc.? | ||
| What time do you anticipate you'll be there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Around seven o'clock tonight, we think, depending on how big the convoy gets. | |
| We doubled in size last night. | ||
| We had 1100 trucks just joining the convoy yesterday. | ||
| So we doubled the amount of trucks. | ||
| I think we'll double the amount of people joining. | ||
| So this is going to be a very large convoy. | ||
| Amazing night here last night. | ||
| What a showing of American pride and fellow man, but we need to park on that frontage road for the actual convoy to come in. | ||
| Okay, I just want to make sure we understand. | ||
| What did you start off with? | ||
| You said you doubled in one day. | ||
| I think you started off, you had 1,100 total vehicles between trucks, big rigs, RVs and SUVs and cars. | ||
| Are you saying you doubled from that or did you double to the 1100? | ||
| I think we've now lost if we can get her back up She's... they're traveling. | ||
| Okay, the People's Convoy. | ||
| It's on I-40. | ||
| It's coming east. | ||
| Frontage Road between exits 357 and 359. | ||
| There's got... you got to leave plenty of room for them to park, but if you want to meet them there. | ||
| Also... | ||
| You can just, that's at 7 o'clock tonight, they anticipate being there. | ||
| But also, one of the things we're getting from Michael Yon, the great combat correspondent, is footage that we're going to have up at 5 o'clock today. | ||
| And absolutely incredible, the overpasses. | ||
| I mean, every overpass they go along, they've got people with American flags, people with signs. | ||
| The purpose of this convo, I just want to re-emphasize, is they want the end to the mandates. | ||
| They want an end to, if we get Maureen back up in the last couple minutes, let me know. | ||
| It's kind of tough, as you know, they've got so many people pulling on the Wi-Fi when they're there. | ||
| It's very tough to get this, to get a clear picture. | ||
| What they want is an end to the mandates. | ||
| And to put it in perspective, as we've had this debacle, Today and this came from you know elections have consequences How many people throughout the world and particularly how many people in Ukraine right now? | ||
| How many people in Kiev would like would think orange man bad? | ||
| You know ugly tweets and all would have Trump back is Anybody out there in the world think that this would have happened with Donald J Trump? | ||
| That this would have happened in Donald J Trump that that Putin and these guys in the Kremlin would have decided to move and I've said from day one These provinces, there's enough going on around the world, particularly in our southern border, and most principally with the Chinese Communist Party that has designs to take down the American economy. | ||
| Remember, they're a hegemon. | ||
| In Asia, on the landmass right now, they want to become a hegemon in the world. | ||
| They've got us in Latin America. | ||
| They're all over this election in Brazil. | ||
| They've got this one belt, one road lending in Argentina. | ||
| They're all in Central America. | ||
| They're completely in the Caribbean, in the Bahamas, a massive facility there in sub-Saharan Africa, one belt, one road throughout the landmass or Asia. | ||
| They are the greatest existential threat that this nation has ever formed. | ||
| And I wear as a badge of honor. | ||
| That, you know, I have been sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| I think the first civilian in American history, from the very first couple of minutes of the Biden regime, Mike Pompeo, Matt Pottinger, who was Deputy National Security Advisor and the head of the China desk for us, and Dr. Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon, sanctioned because of our aggression on taking down the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| This is a real threat. | ||
| And right now you see the Chinese are prodding over there in Taiwan airspace. | ||
| We have a massive problem that is absolutely central to the economy of the United States of America. | ||
| I got to tell you, you're seeing this debacle right now play out in real time. | ||
| And hey, the law of unintended consequences, you have no earthy idea how this thing's going to pan out. | ||
| But I got to tell you, this why it's more important than ever. | ||
| To make sure that you sign up to become a precinct committeeman, to go to precinct strategy, to become a poll watcher or poll worker or an election official so you're inside the room monitoring the count, or to go to a school board and help take over a school board. | ||
| And now to start taking over medical boards. | ||
| More than ever we need a populist uprising to take over the basic apparatus of this democracy to make sure that we can set things right because I got to tell you this convoys coming east and what you just told you right there. | ||
| It's doubling every day. | ||
| Just do the math. | ||
| Okay, just do the math as if it's in the places of the West right now that are not particularly populated. | ||
| You wait till it gets to the central heartland of this country, you wait till it crosses the Mississippi, you wait till it gets into Indiana and places like this and starts heading to Washington D.C. | ||
| And I got to tell you, they're scared to death here. | ||
| The mayor has already called for, oh, this is a totally peaceful set of folks. | ||
| Totally peaceful set of folks. | ||
| What they want to do is not see an extension of these emergency decrees. | ||
| They want to see the end of the mandates. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Things are on fire. | ||
| You've got the globe on fire and you've got a revolt here in the United States. | ||
| The Logistics Revolt. | ||
| Be back here at five o'clock. | ||
| We're going to bring it all to you. | ||
| Hot and heavy. |
