Dear President Vladimir Putin, I'm so sorry that I was not your mother. | |
| If I was your mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light. | ||
| Never would this story's plight the world Unfurled before our eyes, a pure demise of nations sitting peaceful under a night sky. | ||
| If I was your mother, the world would have been warm. | ||
| So much laughter and joy and nothing would harm. | ||
| I can't imagine the stain, the soul-stealing pain that the little boy you must have seen and believed and the formulation of thought quickly taught that you lived in a cruel, unjust world. | ||
| Is this why? | ||
| You now decide no one will get the best of you? | ||
| Is this why you do not hide nor away shy from taking back the world? | ||
| Was it because so early in life all that strife wrapped your little body with fear? | ||
| If I was your mother, if the world was cold, I'd have died to make you warm. | ||
| I'd have died to protect you from the unjust, the violence, the terror, the uncertainty. | ||
| I would have died to give you life. | ||
| Oh dear, Mr. President Putin. | ||
| If only I could. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Look at these fucking bastards! | ||
| The end To be continued... | ||
| NATO... | ||
| Diversity... | ||
| Is our strength. | ||
| Bye! | ||
| Nous parlons une multitude de langues. | ||
| Nous possédons des talents différents. | ||
| Our own unique personalities. | ||
| This is the story of a soldier who operates your nation's Patriot Missile Defense Systems. | ||
| It begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms. | ||
| Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality. | ||
| I like to think I've been defending freedom from an early age. | ||
| I'm a man of my word. | ||
| you Thanks for watching! | ||
| I'm suggesting that they've got to have skin in the game, so to speak. | ||
| You're talking about sanctioning some of our close allies if they don't crack down on Russia as well. | ||
| I am. | ||
| I'm suggesting that they've got to have skin in the game, so to speak. | ||
| They have to, if they want to be associated with freedom, they want to be associated with the United States, they have to come and help us, as well as the Western world, defend against what is clearly a criminal enterprise. | ||
| The purpose of the sanctions has always been and continues to be determined. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Sir, sanctions clearly have not been enough to deter Vladimir Putin to this point. | ||
| What is going to stop him? | ||
| How and when does this end? | ||
| And do you see him trying to go beyond Ukraine? | ||
| And a second question I'll just give to you now. | ||
| This statement that he gave last night, that the threat that he gave the West will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history. | ||
| Is he threatening a nuclear strike? | ||
| I have no idea what he's threatening. | ||
| I know what he has done, number one. | ||
| And number two, no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening. | ||
| It has to show — this is going to take time, and we have to show resolve so he knows what's coming, and so the people of Russia know what he's brought on them. | ||
| That's what this is all about. | ||
| This is going to take time. | ||
| It's not going to occur, he's going to say, oh, my God, these sanctions are coming, I'm going to stand down. | ||
| He's going to test the resolve of the West to see if we stay together, and we will. | ||
| We will, and it will impose significant costs. | ||
|

|
You detailed some severe and swift new sanctions today and said the impact it will have over time, but given the full-scale invasion, given that you're not pursuing disconnecting Russia from what's called SWIFT, the International Banking System, or other sanctions at your disposal, respectfully, sir, what more are you waiting for? | |
| Specifically, the sanctions we've imposed exceed SWIFT. | ||
| The sanctions we imposed exceed anything that's ever been done. | ||
| The sanctions we imposed have generated two-thirds of the world joining us. | ||
| They are profound sanctions. | ||
| Let's have a conversation in another month or so to see... He wants to rewrite history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| There is that push-pull on the sanctions. | ||
| Why are they sanctioning him? | ||
| Well, it's to punish him. | ||
| And it's to make him feel the pain so that perhaps he doesn't go as far as he would, or keep this going as long as he would. | ||
| But that is the basic intelligence analysis. | ||
| So far, the intelligence has been dead on, as you know. | ||
| But the sanctions themselves, according to several analysts I've talked to, They are tough. | ||
| They're not weak just because the SWIFT was not done, and yes, the Europeans blocked it, and it's a European program based in Brussels, so without Europe they couldn't do it. | ||
| But what they have done with these banks is so tough, and Gazprom, banning them from any kind of exchanges, is that they have done about as much as they can do. | ||
| As tough as it can be. | ||
| As tough as sanctions can be. | ||
| If you're a little confused there at home, you should be, because our illegitimate regime that is running this country is beyond confused. | ||
| They're humiliated, they're confused. | ||
| It's Thursday, 24 February, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| I'm bringing in our first guest who knows this area cold, Nigel Farage. | ||
| But Nigel, I gotta play. | ||
| Can we play the clip from Nigel from a couple of years ago? | ||
| Nobody knows this neighborhood that they're now fighting in the Ukraine better than Nigel Farage. | ||
| Let's play the clip, Denver. | ||
| We've had a message that's been sent out now for 10 years, and this is not just the EU. | ||
| Indeed, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, and I'm afraid Ed Miliband too, have all been saying to Ukraine, look, why don't you come and join the European Union? | ||
| While you're at it, why don't you join NATO too? | ||
| And this is something that has been seen by Putin to be a deeply provocative act. | ||
| We have given false hope to those Western Ukrainians, and did you see them with their EU flags and their banners? | ||
| They actually toppled a democratically elected leader. | ||
| Yes, I know Ukraine's corrupt. | ||
| I know he wasn't perfect. | ||
| But they toppled a leader. | ||
| And I do not want to be part of an emerging expansionist EU foreign policy. | ||
| I think it'll be a danger to peace. | ||
| As Mike Tyson, the great heavyweight champ, said, everybody's got a strategy in a boxing match. | ||
| Everybody's got a strategy until you get punched in the mouth. | ||
| That's what happened. | ||
| Putin called the bluff of the feckless leadership of the European Union, the party of Davos, NATO, and of course, the illegitimate regime of Joe Biden. | ||
| Nigel Farage comments, analysis and commentary. | ||
| Yes, I mean, look, I I felt for 30 years, ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we played this badly. | ||
| We have expanded eastwards continually, both the European Union and NATO without any thought of the consequences. | ||
| Russia, because of its history, Napoleon, Hitler, these invasions, tens of millions of lives lost. | ||
| They are genuinely frightened of the prospect of the West moving towards the East. | ||
| Just indeed, as now, we're terrified of the prospect of them moving westwards. | ||
| And I think in terms of geopolitics, we've got this wrong. | ||
| And in some ways, Steve, I called this in 2014, I said, if you poke the Russian bear with a stick, Don't be surprised if you get a bad reaction. | ||
| We've given Vladimir Putin a nationalist cause, one that he can sell to the Russians. | ||
| And by continuing up until last night, our policy that if Ukraine wants to join NATO and wants to join the European Union, it can. | ||
| We've actually given him a cause for war, a causus belli. | ||
| So we've got much wrong. | ||
| None of that. | ||
| When I say this, And I get attacked on Twitter, you know, called a Putin supporter. | ||
| None of this, in my view, validates any of the behaviour that we've seen today. | ||
| But it does explain that we we've broken our promises, Steve. | ||
| James Baker, US Secretary of State, promised the Russians when the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union broke up, that NATO would not expand one inch to the east equally. | ||
| We promised the Ukrainians if they got rid of their nuclear weapons we would, even not as members of NATO, be their guarantors. | ||
| We've broken so many promises. | ||
| The globalists have broken so many promises and their constant ever-wishing to expand their empires has not helped. | ||
| Now look, where we are now is a pretty serious situation. | ||
| Here's why. | ||
| Those two eastern provinces, Luhansk and Donetsk, they are Russian-speaking. | ||
| If you held a referendum there tomorrow, they would rather be in Russia than they would be in Ukraine. | ||
| So I get that. | ||
| However, Western Ukraine is very much more westward in its thinking than Moscow. | ||
| So this is genuinely now an attack on a free people, and that's to be deplored. | ||
| The question is, what do we do now? | ||
| And here's the real problem. | ||
| NATO's been around since the late 1940s. | ||
| Article 5 meaning an attack on one is an attack on all. | ||
| We can see that Putin now is intent on going back to the days of Catherine the Great, the great czarist Russia. | ||
| And that means there are potentially genuine threats to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania on the Baltic coast, perhaps even parts of Poland. | ||
| NATO Is nothing without American leadership. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing. | |
| I'm quite certain if Donald Trump was still president, that by the way, none of this would have happened. | ||
| So what does America do? | ||
| And this is difficult because many Americans today will be saying, you know what? | ||
| The Ukraine, it's so far from home. | ||
| Why should we worry? | ||
| Other Americans will say, hey guys, World War One, World War Two, massive cost to America. | ||
| of sorting out Europe. | ||
| Why the hell should we even risk this again? | ||
| But I would say this. | ||
| Unless NATO says we have an absolute red line, that if you in any way move on from this into incursions into Estonia, Latvia, Poland, that we're prepared to fight you in a full-on war if that's what it comes to. | ||
| Unless that happens. | ||
| And it can't happen without American leadership. | ||
| Unless that happens, it isn't just an open door for Vladimir Putin, it's also an open door for Communist China. | ||
| And none of this, Steve, in conclusion, none of this would have happened if it hadn't been the Biden's calamitous unilateral withdrawal from Afghanistan last year without even consulting his allies. | ||
| NATO is just a combination of staffs and these are staffs. | ||
| They're not actually an operating, organized unit of warfare. | ||
| There's really a staff in Brussels with a billion-dollar building that President Trump talked about, none of which, except for Poland and a couple others, come close to paying the 2% minimum. | ||
| So it's not prepared. | ||
| Isn't the blood of the people in Kiev right now that are being shelled and bombed, The blood is on the party of Davos, the globalists, the Bidens. | ||
| They're sitting there and they come up. | ||
| He doesn't even talk about tough sanctions. | ||
| Forget the SWIFT system. | ||
| If he did that, the dollar would collapse. | ||
| It wouldn't be the prime reserve currency. | ||
| He doesn't delist the companies. | ||
| There's so many other things he could do if he wanted to. | ||
| He's too gutless and unfocused to do that. | ||
| And by the way, we started that clip, one of the clips we had in there about how there's other countries where guys are saying they should sanction them because our allies aren't even in this. | ||
| We've got about a minute. | ||
| Isn't a total disunion on our side? | ||
| It's not united. | ||
| It's not a united front at all, Nigel Farage. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| And of course, Germany, very dependent upon Russian gas. | ||
| Statements today, of course, about Nord Stream 2, which incidentally Joe Biden approved despite closing down a significant American pipeline. | ||
| Sanctions, fine. | ||
| The problem with sanctions is they put the price of gas and oil up, which means every family faces a bill for this. | ||
| The other problem with sanctions is we do force Moscow more deeply into the arms of Beijing. | ||
| So there are some real considerations here. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| The globalists have caused much of this, but we are today where we are. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| Trump was dead right about NATO. | ||
| People not paying their way. | ||
| Delinquent members of NATO. | ||
| But, I repeat the point, this is a moment at which the West needs unity. | ||
| But it cannot have any unity without strong American leadership. | ||
| And I question, I genuinely question, whether Joe Biden is capable of giving that. | ||
| And if he's not, well we'll see more from China, more from Russia, and more from North Korea. | ||
| Nigel, we've got 20 seconds. | ||
| How do people get to your GB News hit show and how do they follow you on social media? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| At Nigel underscore Farage on Twitter is one way. | ||
| Nfarage.com by the website's another. | ||
| GB News has just a fantastic app. | ||
| Just Google GB News. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| It's available. | ||
| It really works. | ||
| Your show's amazing. | ||
| Nigel Farage at CPAC in the United States. | ||
| Thank you very much for your analysis. | ||
| The guy knows this situation better than anybody. | ||
| Pesovic and J.D. | ||
| Vance Navarro all next in the war room. | ||

|
What's going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the Primrose Path and the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked. | |
| And I believe that the policy that I'm advocating, which is neutralizing Ukraine and then building it up economically and getting it out of the competition between Russia on one side and NATO on the other side, is the best thing that could happen to the Ukrainians. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| What we're doing is encouraging the Ukrainians to play tough with the Russians. | ||
| We're encouraging the Ukrainians to think that they will ultimately become part of the West, because we will ultimately defeat Putin, and we will ultimately get our way. | ||
| Time is on our side. | ||
| And of course, the Ukrainians are playing along with this. | ||
| And the Ukrainians are almost completely unwilling to compromise with the Russians and instead want to pursue a hardline policy. | ||
| Well, as I said to you before, if they do that, the end result is that their country is going to be wrecked. | ||
| And what we're doing is, in effect, encouraging that outcome. | ||
| I think it would make much more sense for us to neutral to work to create a neutral Ukraine. | ||
| It would be in our interest to bury this crisis as quickly as possible. | ||
| It certainly would be in Russia's interest to do so. | ||
| And most importantly, it would be in Ukraine's interest to put an end to the crisis. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
First, do you bring us up to speed? | |
| What is being presented to the President? | ||
| We should caution, we don't know that he's signed off on any of this, but what is so interesting is that this would be, in advance of any attacks against us, it would be offense, or defense if you will, defense of Ukraine, which was hit again with cyber attacks this morning. | ||
| That's exactly right, Andrea, and that's what's so significant here. | ||
| American officials and others briefed on the matter tell Courtney, QB, and me that these options include things like shutting off the internet in parts or all of Russia, disrupting trains and railroads that are resupplying Russian troops in Ukraine, everything from making the trains not function to making them fall off the tracks, as one person put it. These options are designed to disrupt but not destroy, we are told. So they would fall short of an act of war. They would be carried out by a variety of | ||
| agencies, including U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency, the CIA would be involved. | ||
| They're designed to be deniable, to be secret. And the fact that we're reporting on them sort of underscores the complexity of all this. And they are designed... | ||
| We've got a lot to get to. Yeah. By the way, just because they're secret doesn't mean... | ||
| Those are acts of war. | ||
| This is the insanity of this illegitimate regime. | ||
| We don't have an alliance with Ukraine. | ||
| They're not a member of NATO. | ||
| We have no military alliance with Ukraine. | ||
| And here they're talking about those are offensive acts of war. | ||
| And you hear Andrew Mitchell, he says, oh no, but I mean defense and defense of Ukraine. | ||
| Once again, we do not have a military alliance with Ukraine. | ||
| Look at the crazy talk. | ||
| They criticize Trump. | ||
| Do you imagine if Trump ever mentioned something like that? | ||
| Offensive capabilities to shut down their internet, shut down their power, shut down the trains so they fall off the track? | ||
| That's like sending a bomber in World War II. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro, Pasovic, J.D. | ||
| Vance, got a lot of wood to chop here. | ||
| Navarro, your assessment of this, and particularly the impact on the economy now, they're saying, oh, this is causing everything in the world. | ||
| This is a disaster. | ||
| Also, their sanctions are just all over the map. | ||
| They're misguided. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| Steve, I'm glad we're starting with the cyber attacks. | ||
| That's my worst fear. | ||
| We are a middleweight. | ||
| We're like Sugar Ray Robinson fighting Mike Tyson in Russia and in China. | ||
| China and Russia are far better at cyber attacks than we are. | ||
| And one of the things I deeply fear is that if we start going down this Russia path and we engage with Russia, China's going to use the chaos, as it always does, To make a move on Taiwan, and if and when things begin to spiral out of control, it will be this country where we see subways and trains going off the tracks, our lights going out, all sorts of road signals disrupted. | ||
| And if you think that we've had social unrest after the China virus hit us here in the United States, when they start doing cyber attacks on us, that's going to be a total thing. | ||
| My view is we're in a post-nuclear age, Steve. | ||
| Cyber attacks are going to be much more effective. | ||
| This is the digital Star Wars warfare that China has written about extensively. | ||
| So go with that first. | ||
| Now, the situation we're in, John Mearsheimer, you need to date that clip. | ||
| Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago is brilliant in that clip. | ||
| He's brilliant with respect to communist China. | ||
| He's a guy that you should listen to, but I think you told me that was six years ago. | ||
| The window has basically closed on a Switzerland-type Ukraine. | ||
| We've basically blown that. | ||
| And the most important thing to understand about Ukraine is that it's a half-and-half country, right? | ||
| The eastern part is Russia leaning. | ||
| The western part is Europe leaning. | ||
| And that makes it very, very difficult to have anything other than what Mearsheimer described. | ||
| In terms of financial markets, Steve, I made a short call back in November. | ||
| The War Room is the only major news outlet that really got that right. | ||
| And right now, we're seeing exactly what I worried about unfolding, that the Russia bear isn't the only bear on Wall Street. | ||
| The stagflation bear, it's the supply chain crisis, and all of that. | ||
| With respect to this crisis in particular, Ukraine is one of the bread baskets of the world. | ||
| It's a heavy grain exporter. | ||
| If there's trouble there, we're going to see food prices spike. | ||
| Russia has already disrupted the global oil markets, so we'll see more of that. | ||
| And so you don't even need to have a hot war there to begin to have these inflationary pulses rip through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this is Biden's piece of strength versus a war of weakness. | |
| You're putting up stuff all day long. | ||
| How do people get to you on social media? | ||
| Yeah, real Pinovaro on Getter. | ||
| Getter's the Twitter killer. | ||
| Yeah, just focus on that for now. | ||
| Folks, if you've got a Twitter account, Manoj Faraj, we've got to get him on Getter. | ||
| If you're on Twitter, get the hell off that thing. | ||
| They censor you, they shadow ban you. | ||
| Getter is the forum you want to be on. | ||
| Getter, the Twitter killer. | ||
| Real Pinovaro. | ||
| Great analysis. | ||
| We'll get you back tomorrow to talk about the chip problem in Taiwan, about Defense of Taiwan. | ||
| Peter Navarro. | ||
| Yes, sir, Admiral. | ||
| 90% of our chips are made there. | ||
| Silicon Valley West. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, you speak fluent Mandarin. | ||
| You're also Polish. | ||
| You know the whole area. | ||
| Give us an assessment of the first two days of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, you know, I say so many times when I talk about Poland, beautiful country, bad neighborhood. | |
| This is a situation That we've gotten into now. | ||
| And we can't talk about this thing starting from Chapter 8, from the middle of it. | ||
| You've got to go back to the beginning. | ||
| So do we condemn the butchery? | ||
| Do we condemn the brutality that we're going to see? | ||
| We do, obviously. | ||
| But you've got to talk about how we got here. | ||
| And I think what Nigel said earlier was correct. | ||
| They laid out the framework for this by increasing the tensions, just as Mir Sheimer predicted, increasing the tensions, rather than denying them an economic deal with Russia, denying them any economic ties, doing everything they could To steal the money from the people of Ukraine. | ||
| Keep in mind, this is all about the elites on both sides. | ||
| You've got oligarchs in Russia, you've got oligarchs in Ukraine, you've got oligarchs in Belarus. | ||
| Do you think the people there want any of this? | ||
| Do you think any of the civilian people, we talk about the Lao-Beijing in China that are the subjects of the CCP, you've got the exact same thing here. | ||
| These are autocratic regimes. | ||
| The people there do not want fighting. | ||
| They do not want more bloodshed. | ||
| Yet that's what we're getting. | ||
| Because they see that over in the White House, They have nothing but arrogance, hubris, greed, and weakness. | ||
| Complete weakness from this president who won't even do what needs to be done vis-a-vis. | ||
| By the way, you're talking about sanctioning Russia? | ||
| Yes, obviously. | ||
| Where is the economic leverage on the CCP that is completely underwriting all of this? | ||
| Jack, you know, unrestricted warfare, we talk about the three types of warfare are cyber slash information war, economic war, which is the sanctions, and then kinetic war. | ||
| He's going full kinetic right now. | ||
| But you saw the White House and you've got, you're the best source guy I know in this White House. | ||
| Are they actually presenting Joe Biden with offensive capability on cyber? | ||
| Which I think these are acts of war. | ||
| Is that what they're talking about an escalation? | ||
| They're going to go soft on the sanctions, but power up on actually attacking Russia? | ||
| And this is from MSNBC. | ||
| It's their reporting NBC News. | ||
| Jack Posobiec. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The geniuses apparently in the White House not only thought to present this escalatory action to the president, But then admit it to the media and leak it immediately. | |
| Like, if you're going to do something like that, at least do it as a gray zone operation. | ||
| Don't admit that you're the ones behind it. | ||
| Who do you think they're going to retaliate against now if the power goes out in Moscow? | ||
| If the lights go out, they're coming for the United States. | ||
| Great job, CIA. | ||
| Great job, Intel community. | ||
| You guys have blundered us into this the same way that you have driven China and Russia, two countries that could be natural rivals, natural competitors. | ||
| You've driven them into the arms with your ridiculous foreign policy blunders. | ||
| This will go down in history as the greatest foreign policy failure in all of geopolitics. | ||
| Driving them together by choice. | ||
| By choice. | ||
| Real quickly, what do you mean when you say we've driven them together when he had the opportunity to do a reverse Nixon and pull Russia into our camp? | ||
| Give me 30 seconds on China's underwriting this. | ||
| And that's why these sanctions are not that effective. | ||
| Jack Posobiec. | ||
|
unidentified
|
About driving them together. | |
| We've done everything we could to exacerbate tensions. | ||
| That was the whole point of Russiagate. | ||
| That was the whole point of the Ukraine impeachment. | ||
| The first one, Zelensky's call. | ||
| That was the whole point of going after us when we had the laptop and all the information from Hunter Biden and the Biden family. | ||
| The way that they've treated Ukraine as their own personal piggy bank for money laundering. | ||
| But instead, they've been working with China to build their new system, their parallel economy. | ||
| You want to kick them out of SWIFT, what do you think One Belt, One Road is there for? | ||
| They're already building this economy. | ||
| So we are seeing a new structure of the world order. | ||
| This is the fourth turning. | ||
| This is the downfall of the neoliberal order. | ||
| Eurasianism is running wild. | ||
| Russia, Moscow is turning to the east, and they are trying to take Ukraine along with them. | ||
| Jack, your getter feed and your Twitter are like the AP Newswire. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| I want everybody in this audience to follow Jack Posobiec. | ||
| He's got human events daily, but give us the social media. | ||

| The people, this is about the people. | ||

| Cortez said the financial one's created. | ||
| This thing in Ukraine is all by human agency of incompetent, reckless, feckless, hapless people. | ||
| Philip Patrick. | ||
| I mean, look, you're absolutely right. | ||
| Steve Cortez was absolutely right as well. | ||
| This is a created crisis. | ||
| Look, what we're seeing, obviously, the markets are reeling this year. | ||
| It's not because of what's happening in Ukraine. | ||
| We've been talking about this together for over a year now. | ||
| This has been brewing for a long time. | ||
| What I think this is, though, is our black swan. | ||
| This is our catalyst for the long overdue correction. | ||
| And we're starting to see it reflected in the market. | ||
| So Dow and S&P Both now officially in correction territory down 10% from their highs NASDAQ officially in bear market territory down 20% from the highs and of course as we expect and as you say commodities surging safe havens surging gold now at an 18 month high | ||
| Palladium oil prices up 6% for the year now, it's not surprising for a couple of reasons number one Geopolitical crises like this always good for safe haven assets. | ||
| It always drives them up Then there's the Russia specific side of this listen Russia are the second largest producer of gold in the world third largest producer of oil the largest palladium miner on the planet Because they are predominantly a commodity exporting nation, sanctions drive commodity prices higher. | ||
| My concerns, though, are what's going to happen domestically? | ||
| What's going to happen to domestic monetary policy? | ||
| Listen, the Fed started the year planning rate hikes. | ||
| That was the idea. | ||
| But I think now they're going to be second-guessing themselves. | ||
| Generally in times of war a Economic concerns go out the window war becomes the priority what it implies is big spending money printing in order to fund it now Even though we're not putting boots on the ground. We know this is going to get expensive, right? | ||
| We're already supplying Ukraine with advanced weapons Europe have now committed hundreds of billions of dollars in loan to Ukraine So if we want to keep our domestic economy from collapsing, they're going to need to soften their stance on interest rates But as we've been discussing for a long time if they want to get inflation under control They're gonna have to raise rates, right and especially with a surge in oil prices Which I think is going to be compounded by Russian sanctions | ||
| I don't know if there's a best-case scenario here. | ||
| Either we see runaway inflation and we continue to fuel it through warmongering, or we're in a period of stagflation. | ||
| Either one, it's middle America that gets hit. | ||
| Look, here's why I think the audience loves you coming on and then giving access to Column and what you're doing on Getter and putting up information all over. | ||
| You know, Navar and I run a little hot, okay? | ||
| First of all, we run a little hot. | ||
| You and Cortez are kind of the ballast. | ||
| You're the steady-eddies, right? | ||
| Of the numbers and everything like that. | ||
| When Philip Patrick sits there and uses the term Black Swan, I sit up and take notice. | ||
| Please tell the audience that piece of nomenclature, because it's one of the first times we're on there. | ||
| A Black Swan event, sir, is what? | ||
| Look, a Black Swan event is an event that couldn't be predicted that leads to a significant event, right? | ||
| And that snowballs into economic collapse. | ||
| It's what we're seeing today. | ||
| Now, I said this war with Ukraine was a Black Swan event. | ||
| What concerns me, though, look, it's starting this year, tanks rolling into Ukraine, I think was a surprise for a lot of people. | ||
| I would have to say this issue generally has been predictable. | ||
| Look, Russia have been planning this since 2014 when they annexed Crimea, right? | ||
| This has always been Putin's desire to gain control of Ukraine. | ||
| Now, what did we do then? | ||
| We sanctioned them. | ||
| And sanctions were pretty effective. | ||
| But they're not today and I don't think they will be today because Russia have been preparing for this. | ||
| Listen, Putin came out in 2020 and he said, and this is a direct quote, he said, to hell with those sanctions. | ||
| All it did was make us use our brains, and he's spot on, and this is where we're being outsmarted or at least this administration. | ||
| He changed the Russian economy. | ||
| He's prepared for this. | ||
| Russia over the last decade, now they're the fifth highest, they have the fifth highest gold reserves in the world of any economy, and they're the 11th largest economy. | ||
| They've been earning more than they spend, reducing debt, and they've been supplying oil with oil, sorry, supplying Europe rather with oil, natural gas, and food. | ||
| That's where I think sanctions are going to falter. | ||
| Listen, Europe are reliant on Russia, right? | ||
| For Europe to really put together aggressive sanctions, it's like a junkie trying to sanction their dealer. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| It's a tough situation. | ||
| Philip Patrick, how do people get to you, Birch Gold? | ||
| We want to know how they get to you personally, sir. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So you can reach us at Birch Gold Group. | ||
| A lot of good information. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon for your listeners. | ||
| Great information there. | ||
| You can reach me directly on Getter at Philip Patrick on Getter. | ||
| It's a great platform. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Okay, you go to Birchgold, you go to backslash Bannon, you can interact with some of these people. | ||
| You and I are working on a big project about the decline and fall of the dollar empire, a piece we're working on that we're going to talk about to folks next week, if they can get it. | ||
| I think it's very important and something I'm proud to work with you guys on. | ||
| And I think we've started to answer the question that gold is still a hedge, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Up to 18%. | |
| Gold is still a hedge. | ||
| Philip Patrick, thank you very much, brother. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you, Steve, as always. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Phillip Patrick, Birch Gold. | ||
| Okay, let's go to Berlin and Matthew Tierman, one of the smartest guys in this. | ||
| We're really proud to have guys like Cortez and Phillip Patrick and Posobiec and guys like Tierman, people who know these neighborhoods, know the geopolitics, but particularly our Wall Street guys who know the economics. | ||
| Matthew, you're in Berlin tonight. | ||
| You've heard a lot of talk today about guys sanctioning, talk here about sanctioning our own allies. | ||
| Give us your perspective. | ||
| What in the heck is going on here? | ||
| Well, what I've been advocating for, for the better part of two years, and not just on Russia, but also on the CCP, and also on any other global malefactor that's causing trouble, we have a right with the Western interest, which part of it is the interdependent economics, is to put them on a sanction of SWIFT. | ||
| SWIFT is the International Banking Wire System. | ||
| And how does Russia get paid for their energy? | ||
| Through the SWIFT system. | ||
| Uh, so right now, finally, they're talking about sanctioning Russia on Swift. | ||
| That could catalyze some serious internal strife for Putin because this is how the oligarchs move their money all over the world. | ||
| If he starts screwing with their money, then he becomes an internal target. | ||
| And it's high time they do that, but I'm in Germany right now, and the one major player Who is trying to slow walk that is the new the new premier of Germany, Olaf Scholz, who is very they were pushing the Nord Stream 2. | ||
| Now they it's a coalition government and they coalition with the Greens and their leading figure bareback is the foreign minister and she's a green and she was very very against Nord Stream 2 and in fact before she came in to office They were running interference, like sort of proactive interference, on her coming to D.C. | ||
| on her first trip. | ||
| Because the former guys, who are more established men, who want Nord Stream 2, were going to all the congressmen saying, Nord Stream 2 is coming, don't worry about it. | ||
| So they're trying to undermine their own coalition partner in the Greens. | ||
| Well, hopefully, Olymp gets all the pressure. | ||
| From the EU to do the right thing, which is to sanction them this way. | ||
| This is one of many tools we have. | ||
| There are no boots going to the ground. | ||
| We probably should be arming them. | ||
| You know, this is the argument I have with the Neville Chamberlains in our midst, like Tucker, who says, oh, it's just a Russian province anyway. | ||
| Well, tell that to the people in Kiev. | ||
| Who are now living in the subways because there are air raids going off and the airfields around Kiev are in targets. | ||
| But in Tucker's defense, this is something the EU and these big talkers over in Europe brought on themselves. | ||
| They convinced the elites in Ukraine that this is a smart thing to do. | ||
| Where are those guys? | ||
| Where's the empty... and the other thing I want to ask you about SWIFT. | ||
| Do you believe, because you're a smart Wall Street guy and a hedge fund guy, and all four of you are using the SWIFT on China, but if you use the SWIFT on Russia right now, is that the beginning of the dominoes falling, of the dollar not being the prime reserve currency? | ||
| Is that when Beijing and the Russians say, OK, we can't trust the West with anything? | ||
| And are we in a financial position right now, Matthew Tierman? | ||
| Yes, they can. | ||
| trillion dollars of debt, nine trillion on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, a trillion and a half deficit coming up in this year. | ||
| Are we in shape right now? | ||
| We're Argentina, bro, unless we're the prime reserve currency. | ||
| Can the United States take the blowback if we pull them off the SWIFT system? | ||
| Matthew Tierman. | ||
| Yes, they can. | ||
| First of all, the Russian activity is mostly self- it doesn't affect us as much. | ||
| You know, the Russian assets that are being held outside of Russia are held in places like London, and now more and more in Asia. | ||
| I don't think the impact to us would be that great. | ||
| We're still the reserve currency. | ||
| We may not be in 20 or 30 years, but for now there's no alternative. | ||
| There's a reason why Russia and China are economically working together. | ||
| China does have the reserves. | ||
| China will buffer Russia, but Russia needs Europe buying its gas, buying its raw resources. | ||
| And China's not going to be the one doing that. | ||
| They already have their mechanisms in place. | ||
| They mostly need metals. | ||
| They're getting that from Australia. | ||
| So I don't think that puts us at risk. | ||
| Yeah, look, we're heading to recession anyway. | ||
| We're heading to recession because of our domestic policy, because of inflation, because we've had 13 years of zero interest rates and crazy misallocation of resources. | ||
| And you're seeing right now sort of a reordering of that misallocation. | ||
| Money's going out of Bitcoin and crypto, which has no fundamental value, and going to the traditional inflation hedge and flight to safety asset, which is gold, which is what you're talking about in the last segment. | ||
| I'm a gold bug. | ||
| Not because gold is, you know, the greatest asset in the world. | ||
| It doesn't produce cash flow. | ||
| But 5,000 years of human history is 5,000 years of human history. | ||
| And India is a big driver. | ||
| There are governments who are adding to their gold reserves because they know that we're heading for rock time. | ||
| So, yes, we're going to head to recession. | ||
| That is what it is. | ||
| 13 years of zero interest rates and now an upshift in rates. | ||
| That is going to catalyze that. | ||
| But c'est la vie. | ||
| We will then be in a better position on the right to back controlled government as a result of that. | ||
| Real quickly, you've got about a minute. | ||
| Walk me back through the case for why we should be arming, why we should be helping the people in the subways of Kiev right now. | ||
| The elites in that nation led their people into this with the elites in Davos, the NATO elites, the guys in Germany, all talking happy talk, and then when Russia comes in and punches somebody in the mouth, everybody scrambles away. | ||
| Matthew Tierman. | ||
| I am not a neocon. | ||
| I'm not an interventionist. | ||
| I think we, it was one of the great clusters of modern history, what we were doing in the Middle East, the nation building with a hostile culture. | ||
| But this is the, this is the Jew-Christian West. | ||
| This is the peripheral border of Europe and NATO. | ||
| We saw what happened in 1939. | ||
| And we have a lot of academic Neville Chamberlain's in our midst saying, Oh, it's not our problem. | ||
| It's not a problem until it is our problem. | ||
| And it will be our problem. | ||
| First comes Ukraine. | ||
| Then comes, as we talked earlier, Balkans, Baltics, and by the way, Ukraine fully falls, it won't be long. | ||
| I think China and Taiwan, that's happening soon, and Americans will realize the impact to them. | ||
| If Taiwan goes under Chinese control and the Taiwan semiconductor industry gets destroyed, much like the industries in Hong Kong are being destroyed, and laptops go from $1,000 to $15,000 overnight, Americans will realize how interdependent, globally connected our economics are. | ||
| Matthew, real quickly, you're a getter in your Twitter account because you're like the AP News Service. | ||
| How do people get to you and follow you all night long? | ||
| Matthew Tierremond, M-E-T-T-H-E-W-T-Y-R-M-A-N-D on all social media, but Getter's where it's at. | ||
| He made it as far east as Berlin from London, or actually from the United States. | ||
| Don't know if he'll get down to Kiev, but we're still working with Tierremond. | ||
| Our field correspondent, Matthew Tierremond, once again, thank you so much for joining us from Berlin. | ||
| Okay, from Berlin, back to I-40. | ||

| It's something for the family. | ||
| It's even beyond an heirloom, something you can use every day, particularly in these trying times, because it's a spiritual war, as you know. | ||
| OK, we're going to go from the battlefields of Kiev and the capitals of Berlin. | ||

| Michael Yan, one of the best combat Correspondence around spent years of spent time in Afghanistan Iraq. | ||
| We hand down the Darien Gap reporting on the invasion of the southern border now. | ||
| He's with the People's Convoy coming East Michael and I want to play the b-roll of some of this for this footage. | ||
| You've come up with is absolutely stunning of these overpasses of the war room posse and other people showing up. | ||
| To greet the caravan, to greet the convoy, to greet the truckers and the other people associated with us. | ||
| First off, where are you guys right now? | ||
| And how long is this convoy? | ||
| How physically long is it, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey Steve, I'm with Vandersteel right now. | |
| I jumped out of the truck. | ||
| We got together in an SUV so we can get to an airplane to get on top of the convoy and take a look down. | ||
| So this convoy is a good five miles long. | ||
| We just sped ahead of it and got on an overpass. | ||
| And watch go under us. | ||
| And then after that five miles was just mile after mile. | ||
| You stay there all day because people have, we weren't sure if they were part of the convoy or not, but it's just massive. | ||
| And along what you're seeing in this B roll here, it's like 1%. | ||
| I mean, it's not even 1%. | ||
| I mean, it's a tiny fraction. | ||
| And I mean, it's far less than one. | ||
| I don't know how many thousands we've seen. | ||
| What do you think, Anne? | ||
| Oh my gosh, I'd say we've probably got at least, like you said, five miles in length of convoy, but it's thousands and thousands of people, Steve. | ||
| Not only in the convoy, but thousands of people are feeding us there in different overpasses. | ||
| Just so they can say hello to all of us in the convoy. | ||
| It's beautiful. | ||
| And we're picking up people left and right. | ||
| They're just hopping in. | ||
| People that were just driving in or just moving to Arizona and saying, hey, I decided to just jump in the convoy because we moved here. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| We still have our stuff packed up. | ||
| So we're going to go with you guys. | ||
| And we're excited to meet everybody when all the other convoys converge east of us. | ||
| It's just beautiful. | ||
| America is back, Steve. | ||
| We haven't died. | ||
| We're here. | ||
| Right here. | ||
| A lady gave us this flag. | ||
| We're up on the bridge. | ||
| We just got ahead of them and the lady had been there since early in the morning and she said, oh another lady came and gave me this flag and then she gave it to us to pass it on. | ||
| Oh, here's more people on top right here. | ||
| I can get the camera right? | ||
| Can you see that? | ||
| Can you see it? | ||
| Yeah, fantastic. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Sometimes it's a lot more than that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just thousands and thousands everywhere. | |
| I'm getting excited because I'm getting psyched up. | ||
| Michael, still, what is the, you know, because back here in the in the Capitol, you know, they're calling out the National Guard. | ||
| You hear all the time the Democrats are going on TV. | ||
| They're putting up the fencing again. | ||
| You have some people on the right, good guys like Cernovich, etc. | ||
| saying, hey, don't fall into a trap. | ||
| Don't go into the Capitol. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you were to talk to people in the five- Do what, Michael? | |
| Cernovich is my buddy. | ||
| Tell Cernovich to come out with us. | ||
| We all know about traps. | ||
| We all know about that. | ||
| You know, how much combat have I been in? | ||
| Years and years and years. | ||
| You know, all body ambushes, false flags. | ||
| January 6th was there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Portland, Hong Kong. | |
| come out with us. We all We all know about that. Y have I been in years and all about ambushes, false was there, Portland, Hong We know it's a danger. | ||
| We all know it. | ||
| We're grown men and women, right? | ||
| But we're not going to sit on the couch. | ||
| Oh, no, they might get us. | ||
| We're going, man. | ||
| You know, I mean, seriously, if we're going to stand up, let's stand up. | ||
| The People's Convoy put a press release out and they have said unequivocally they don't want to go into the D.C. | ||
| area or inside the Beltway. | ||
| They're taking everybody as far as they're going to go. | ||
| That's the People's Convoy. | ||
| There are other convoys converging. | ||
| Some are saying they're going to go into D.C. | ||
| Again, this is our right to choose. | ||
| People can choose to go in or not go in. | ||
| But there has been definite intel on the ground talking about DHS and other infiltrators trying to basically infiltrate to January 6th. | ||
| Patriots at the Ritz-Carlton Capitol that day. So there's a lot of good people providing intel and logistical support to make sure that that doesn't happen. | ||
| We're savvy to it. | ||
| Sorry, I was reflexively looking at the people in the brief. | ||
| That's okay, I know, Jan, your attention deficit. | ||
| If you talk to people in the five-mile long convoy right now, what would they say their task and purpose is? | ||
| As they come in, you're getting close, I think, to Lupton, Arizona, which is on the Arizona-New Mexico border on day two. | ||
| What is the task and purpose of the convoy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is easy. | |
| They are now standing up and saying, we are not accepting your unlawful mandates. | ||
| We do not recognize the unlawful mandates from an administrative state that was never constitutionally chartered. | ||
| They want nothing to do with it. | ||
| We the people are standing up for our God-given rights, Steve. | ||
| It's very basic. | ||
| Okay, perfect. | ||
| Jan, real quickly, we got about 30 seconds. | ||
| How do people follow you non-stop? | ||
| I know you're broadcasting all night. | ||
