| Why do you think Putin is doing this? | ||
| What is his endgame? | ||
| Well, Vladimir Putin is carrying through on something that he's been warning us about at least for the last 15 years, which is that he will not tolerate U.S. | ||
| forces or their missiles on his borders, much as we would not tolerate Russian troops and missiles in Cuba. | ||
| And we ignored him, and he finally acted. | ||
| He was not going to allow Ukraine, under any circumstances, to join NATO. | ||
| What's happened now is that the battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over. | ||
| All the Ukrainian troops there have been largely surrounded and cut off. | ||
| You have a concentration down in the southeast of 30,000 to 40,000 of them. | ||
| And if they don't surrender within the next 24 hours, I suspect that the Russians will ultimately annihilate them. | ||
| That's why Zelensky is meeting with Putin's representatives right now. | ||
| The game is over. | ||
| And he's going to have to negotiate the best deal he can get. | ||
| And we've already told him, the President of the United States has, that if he opts for neutrality for Ukraine, we'll back him. | ||
| And I think that Vladimir Putin will do that for Western Ukraine. | ||
| That is, the Ukraine beyond the upper river. | ||
| But behind it in the east, where he is now, I'm not sure what he has planned there. | ||
| Whether he forms another republic, annexes it into Russia, because historically it has been Russian. | ||
| But the territory west of Ukraine is not. | ||
| He knows that, and he's happy to live with that as a neutral state. | ||
| I am not a military expert. | ||
| I'm not even an expert on geography. | ||
| But if he takes Ukraine and Ukraine abuts Poland, then he's going to have a NATO country abutting him. | ||
| So if that's what he doesn't want, then isn't he going to just have to keep going until he runs out of NATO countries? | ||
| I guess I should say it again. | ||
| He has no interest in crossing the Dnieper and heading west of the Polish border. | ||
| I think you're going to find from these negotiations he's quite willing to neutralize that territory on the Austrian or the Finnish model. | ||
| Right now, Russia already touches Estonia and part of Latvia. | ||
| White Russia, of course, touches Lithuania. | ||
| He's not interested in going to war with us, and he has an army that's too small for that purpose. | ||
| And he knows it. | ||
| His economy is smaller than that of South Korea's. | ||
| So this is not something that he's looking for. | ||
| We're imputing to him things that he does not want to do in our usual effort to demonize him and his country. | ||
| We need to remember that Ukraine is fourth from the bottom of 158 countries in the world as corrupt. | ||
| Russia is perhaps three or four places above them. | ||
| This is not the liberal democracy, the shining example that everyone says it is. | ||
| Far from it. | ||
| Mr. Zelensky is jailed journalists and his political opposition. | ||
| I think we need to stay out of it. | ||
| The American people think we should stay out of it. | ||
| The Europeans think we should stay out of it. | ||
| And we should stop shipping weapons and encouraging Ukrainians to die in what is a hopeless endeavor. | ||
| So when you say stay out of it, you mean no sanctions, no military aid, just let Russia take the portion of Ukraine they want to take? | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| I see no reason why we should fight with the Russians over something that they have been talking about for years. | ||
| We simply chose to ignore it. | ||
| And more important, the population there is indistinguishable from their own. | ||
| You know, the thing that's so disturbing is that on the one hand, we will not send our forces to fight. | ||
| But we are urging Ukrainians to die pointlessly in a fight they can't win. | ||
| We're going to create a far worse humanitarian disaster than anything you've seen thus far, if it doesn't stop. | ||
| We've had a message that's been sent out now for 10 years, and it 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. | ||
| OK, welcome. | ||
| It's Monday, 28 February or 2022. | ||
| We got a lot to go through the day. | ||
| It's a day of actually a lot of victories. | ||
| The the ridiculous mass mandates and some of the vaccine mandates are falling before our eyes and some of the most progressive states in the country. | ||
| We've got victories all over precinct strategy. | ||
| President Trump endorsed it yesterday. | ||
| We're going to have the leaders going to have Dan Schultz and Steve Sir on about that. | ||
| We've got Naomi Wolf about all the mandates are collapsing. | ||
| In front of us, in fact, and I even wear a mask at mask optional at the illegitimate Joe Biden's whatever it is tomorrow night in this occupied the occupied capital of Washington D.C. | ||
| right now, which is is. | ||
| It's up armored with troops everywhere. | ||
| Also, we've got polling that Biden continues to collapse, economic news, all of it. | ||
| But we want to get we're going in and out throughout the next two hours, make sure everybody is up to date, particularly on the economics, the geopolitics and the economics of what is actually happening here in global capital markets and with and with the sanctions and other things. | ||
| Want to go that we got Matthew Tierman in Warsaw. | ||
| We have Ben Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| Steve Cortez is my co-host. | ||
| For the hour and my saying to Biden instead of crushing the rule will destroy the Russian people what we should do if you're interested is target the oligarchs and Putin's KGB buddies. | ||
| Go after the oil. | ||
| And the first thing you should do, tough guy, is let's stop the purchase. | ||
| American people don't realize we're buying Russian oil every day. | ||
| And we're buying Russian oil every day for one reason. | ||
| Joe Biden's ridiculous energy policy. | ||
| Donald J. Trump had his full spectrum energy dominant as an energy exporter in every aspect. | ||
| Now we actually import oil, and we import oil from, wait for it, Russian oligarchs, okay? | ||
| So Biden and all the SWIFT, everything, you know, avoided energy, which is what this is all about. | ||
| Let's go to Matthew Tierman for an update. | ||
| Matthew's in Warsaw today. | ||
| He finally made it. | ||
| Matthew, give us the update. | ||
| They're at the Belarus border. | ||
| They're in a negotiation. | ||
| But Zelensky, can we put a tweet up? | ||
| Zelensky Just about an hour or two ago said that he's requesting full membership, full immediate membership in the European Union. | ||
| Nigel Farage has said this since 2014. | ||
| We've said this over and over again. | ||
| This is what this is all about. | ||
| And today he got to his task and purpose out there. | ||
| He wants to immediately join the European Union from the nation that would be on the border if Russia continues in the Ukraine, Poland. | ||
| And Poland has a historic Interest in Western Ukraine, I think was part of the Polish Empire for many many many centuries Matthew Tierman Yeah, well here in Warsaw. I continue to move eastward Tomorrow I'm going to try and get toward the border of Medica, which is where this was former, you know, this Ukrainian region was former Polish when they redrew the map post-Yalta. | ||
| The third biggest city in Ukraine is Lviv. | ||
| It was a Polish city before that, an Austro-Hungarian city. | ||
| So there's nothing wrong with the dispute and the debate around where these borders should be, where these ethnic populations live. | ||
| Certainly, you know, the far eastern Ukraine, Donbass, which has been under Russian separatist control since 2014, and Crimea. | ||
| These are now Russian-held, Russian-controlled. | ||
| I still believe that Putin's main goal here was the Crimean land bridge, Mariupol, the region that connects Crimea, the strategic peninsula, and Russia, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar. | ||
| He is going to cement those gains. | ||
| There's no doubt about it. | ||
| But this call for European—and I'm getting attacked on Twitter and on Getter all the time that I'm with Soros. | ||
| I'm not with Soros. | ||
| Soros says you stand with Ukraine. | ||
| That doesn't mean you automatically should go and say I stand with Putin. | ||
| Two things can be right at the same time and two things can be wrong at the same time. | ||
| The idea that the Ukrainian government is now going to push to get Ukraine into the EU is ludicrous. | ||
| They do not meet any of the standards that the other countries, when they ascended from Central Europe starting in 2004, had to meet, from the mastered standards on their internal economics and the way their central banks operate and print currency, to their corruption, clearly. | ||
| I do push back at the guy you had on with Fred Gowdy when he said that the Russians would annihilate them in the East. | ||
| There aren't Ukrainians in the East. | ||
| Mary Pulse fell in a few hours because there are none there. | ||
| There haven't been many since 2014 and 2015 when all of these Eastern Ukrainians from Donbass and Luhansk and Kharkiv fled to the west of Ukraine, to Poland, where they all drove Ubers. | ||
| Now I'm having trouble finding a Ukrainian Uber driver, which I find kind of interesting. | ||
| So that's a false statement he's making. | ||
| The other false statement he made, to clue your audience in when they say Zelensky imprisoned his political opposition, the guy they imprisoned was a Yanukovych ally who was trying to create a backroom deal with Putin and Yata coverage. | ||
| He was an advisor to President Trump. | ||
| He was going to step in as interim national security advisor, I think, at one time. | ||
| I just want to make sure everybody understands that was Colonel McGregor. | ||
| He was an advisor to President Trump. | ||
| He was going to step in as interim national security advisor, I think, at one time. | ||
| He was on the short list. | ||
| You don't buy his... well his basic overall thesis is that he's... it's east of the Dnieper and it's southern... it's the land bridge in southern Ukraine. | ||
| That's what he's really after. | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
| That I 100% agree with and he has it. | ||
| He's had Donbass and Luhansk for the better part of the last 8 years. | ||
| It's been Russian separatist controlled. | ||
| All the Ukrainians who lived there fled westward. | ||
| They fled to Lviv, they fled to Kiev, they fled into Poland, they fled into other places in Europe, and they were given refugee status, where, by the way, they go to work. | ||
| They're not like, you know, the Middle Eastern, quote-unquote, Syrian refugees, or Somalis that come in as economic migrants just for the welfare checks. | ||
| these guys work in Warsaw, they drove the Ubers, they worked all the jobs that Poles as they migrated up the consumption ladder and the economic food chain would not do. | ||
| And so they buffered the Polish economy, they buffered the Balkan and the Baltic economies. | ||
| But he's right, he's right. | ||
| They're going to have that. | ||
| Now, the question is, is this overreach into Kiev, is this continued saber rattling, putting everyone on high nuclear alert? | ||
| I think this is a concessionary move. | ||
| Now we can say, I'll pull back on this, leave me the hell alone in my land bridge and Don Boston, Luhansk. | ||
| Don Bosco Lohatsky, they're lost leaders. | ||
| He didn't really want them. | ||
| Now he's got a pensioner's pensions. | ||
| That is not what he means. | ||
| Real quickly, your take on going after the crash, the crush the ruble in capital markets response today. | ||
| What are your thoughts? | ||
| Look, I think that's an appropriate move because he is putting, he is destabilizing Central and Eastern Europe, which has huge lateral implications to the geopolitics westward as well as global economics. | ||
| You know how much energy we're buying from Russia because of Biden's harebrained green energy schemes domestically? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're getting 800,000 barrels a day. | |
| billion dollars a month. We're funding this. We're funding his movement into Ukraine all because he wanted to do the opposite of Trump. | ||
| Trump unleashed the energy complex. We were selling gas to Poland, all the way down to Bulgaria, to Hungary from the Spino-Ussher LNG terminal right over the German border. | ||
| That was going to secure and stabilize Central Europe and then Biden came in and reversed all of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, we just lost Matthew. | |
| Matthew Tierman, we're going to get her up. | ||
| Let's go to Steve Cortez. | ||
| Steve, talk to us about energy, talk to us about particularly the Russian oil that we're buying and additionally what we're doing to basically destroy the Russian Central Bank and the ruble. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And by the way, you know, let's be clear. | ||
| When we say destroy the Russian Central Bank and destroy the ruble, what we're really talking about are regular, everyday Russians. | ||
| And I want to be clear about this. | ||
| I disagree vehemently with my friend Matthew Tiermond. | ||
| This is unprecedented. | ||
| This kind of money warfare, the weaponization of money, which we, meaning Joe Biden and the Europeans, are engaging in right now. | ||
| It's literally never been done before. | ||
| A concerted effort to try, to intentionally try, to collapse a country's currency. | ||
| It wasn't even done to the Nazis, Steve, okay? | ||
| The Nazis literally were able, their central bank was able to function in Switzerland via the Bureau of International Settlements. | ||
| This has never been done before. | ||
| For full disclosure, I recommended this at the White House against the CCP, and I recommend it strongly when Hong Kong About using SWIFT and to try to destroy, to weaponize the dollar via SWIFT and actually going after the Chinese Communist Party when they took over Hong Kong, of which, you know, nobody had a peep. | ||
| But keep going, Steve. | ||
| So this has been discussed before. | ||
| This is the first time it's ever been done. | ||
| First time it's ever been done, and who is it really punishing immediately? | ||
| Regular, everyday Russians, because it's becoming, as of today, massively more difficult for them to buy just the staples that they need for their lives. | ||
| And look, markets are volatile today, but they're not in collapse. | ||
| They're still functioning. | ||
| It's very possible, though, that they will move into a collapse stage soon. | ||
| And then things can get incredibly dangerous, far more dangerous than right now. | ||
| And you know who agrees with me, believe it or not, is a columnist from the Washington Post. | ||
| We have a tweet. | ||
| It's chart two that I sent over, if we can please pull that tweet up. | ||
| And if even writers at the Washington Post are willing to admit how unprecedented and how dangerous this is, this is Paul Soane. | ||
| He said, for those on this platform, giddy about the plummet of the ruble, a word of caution. | ||
| The severity of this will create forces beyond everyone's control. | ||
| It could get very scary and not have the outcome that you suspect. | ||
| I don't agree very often with the Washington Post, but the Washington Post is correct here. | ||
| And again, this is unprecedented. | ||
| We have it exactly backwards right now, Steve, because what we're doing is trying to collapse Russia's currency, which will mostly Cortez, hang on. | ||
| You're my co-host for the morning. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to go to the Convoy, Precinct Strategy, Ben Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| oligarchs and funds the Russian war machine. We have it completely backwards. | ||
| The Davos crowd actually meant what they said and all their virtue signaling putting up flags, Ukrainian flags. What they would do is stop buying Russian energy. | ||
| Cortez, hang on. You're my co-host for the morning. Short commercial break. We're gonna go the convoy precinct strategy. Ben Harnwell in Rome. All next in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the... | |
| War Room. 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 Banham. | ||
| Okay, there are decades in which nothing happens, and there are months in which decades happen, and ladies and gentlemen, we're in the middle of a fourth turning, and just stand by for the Law of Unexpected Consequences, or Unintended Consequences, I guess I should say, because we have no earthy idea how this is playing out, and what we try to do here is give you the nomenclature, the structure of process and critical path, the statics and dynamics of process, and then you can kind of get your own mental map and your own intellectual framework. | ||
| There's so much going on today, and I tell you what's quite interesting, CNN and MSNBC, they've taken down the COVID death watch and the COVID, everything, all the COVID stuff's gone, and you've got Russian military equipment captured, Russian military dead. | ||
| Uh, they've now fetishized this right from going off because they don't talk about the pandemic anymore. | ||
| The polling on the pandemics so bad and we got victories all over the place. | ||
| We have Dr Naomi Wolf on later to talk about the victories in New York City, New York State and also here in the capital. | ||
| And we've also got the convoy. | ||
| We're going to go live to the convoy soon as we can. | ||
| Kind of get up and going but a big new we're going to go back to Rome and back to Steve Cortez got a lot to do to give you an intellectual framework of how you can start to process everything that's being thrown at you. | ||
| Most of it spin, right? | ||
| Most of what's been thrown at you is spin. | ||
| So help you able to weigh and measure exactly what's going on geopolitically. | ||
| We said when we started pandemic. | ||
| I want to make sure you know this from the first show back in January 2020. | ||
| We said look you had a pandemic. | ||
| And by the way, don't believe the nonsense that started the wet market, right? | ||
| That's not a peer-reviewed journal. | ||
| Morning Journal and them got the pom-poms out this morning. | ||
| We're going to do a deep dive on that in the next couple of days, but there's so much news breaking from the great turnout of the Republican Party in the early voting in Texas, the demise of the Democratic Party, the progressive left saying now they realize the Democratic Party is going to be destroyed in November and they want to take it over. | ||
| All of this political news, right? | ||
| But we're going to get make sure you have an actual framework in which to judge essentially what's going on here among all the victories we've got. | ||
| We're not going to let people take our eye off the ball. | ||
| But we said we first started the show that this pandemic and we're the first guys to say, hey, it's going to blow over everywhere. | ||
| This pandemic is going to cause a economic crisis, particularly a drop in aggregate demand and supply chain problems. | ||
| So cause an economic crisis. | ||
| That'll lead to a financial crisis, that'll lead to a capital markets crisis, that ultimately is going to lead to a geopolitical crisis. | ||
| And here we are in the heart of it right now, and of course all the Atlanticists, and it's the woman who's from the New York Times, the 1619 Project, said what I've said. | ||
| This shows you the racism of MSNBC and CNN and the Atlanticists. | ||
| New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, Cambridge, and Northwest Europe, all they want to focus on is themselves. | ||
| And she called it out yesterday, this is totally racist, they don't want to focus on any other of what's happening in the world, particularly the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Beijing, and what they've done to the Tibetan Buddhists, what they've done in East Turkestan, what they've done in Inner Mongolia, what they've done to their Lao-Beijing, the great folks of China, what they've done to Hong Kong, and what they are prepared and going to do to Taiwan in the South China, the littoral nations of the South China Sea. | ||
| But, there are victories everywhere, and we're going to make sure you understand, we're on the march. | ||
| We're on the ascendant. | ||
| I want to go to Steve Stern. | ||
| Dan Schultz is going to join us tonight. | ||
| Dan Schultz is the father of the precinct strategy. | ||
| Huge development yesterday. | ||
| Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, came out and endorsed the precinct strategy. | ||
| He said he just found out about it. | ||
| Looked at it, loved it. | ||
| I want to bring in Steve Stern. | ||
| Steve, you've done such a great job of rounding up all these great stories from around the country. | ||
| We have one all the time of people that are changing their lives by getting engaged. | ||
| What is President Trump's endorsement of the precinct strategy do for the movement and do for you? | ||
| Well, the first thing is I want to thank Lynn Patton. | ||
| She's the one that started. | ||
| She brought me up to see President Trump. | ||
| We saw him in December and that started the ball rolling. | ||
| He didn't know what Precinctstrategy.com was. We told him what it was. He said he'd take it in advisement. He'd make an appointment with us and then the ball started rolling. | ||
| So Robert Gabriel, Hogan Gidley, Liz Harrington, Michael Lindell, Steve Bannon, all part of the team of getting this accomplished. | ||
| So what this is going to do, they've already been texting me from a lot of the Trump people today, his next rally. | ||
| We're hoping he's going to put up some signs saying www.precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| They're going to have tables to sign up people. | ||
| This is a tsunami waiting to happen. | ||
| If you want to buy Dan's book, he'll be on tonight, but go to Amazon, take a look at it, www.precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| Get involved. | ||
| This is a tsunami waiting to happen. | ||
| People are going bananas. | ||
| They haven't done anything. | ||
| They've been watching Fox News, but when Trump advises that go to precinctstrategy.com, everybody's going to do it. | ||
| So what has happened? | ||
| We're just getting more and more involvement, and I'd like people who have these success stories to give me a call. | ||
| So if you want to reach me, try www.flagshirt.com or Stern 1054-AOL or 954-318-6902. | ||
| Steve Bannon has been doing this for a year and a half. | ||

| Go around, walk around. | ||
| Put yourself up in a flag shirt. | ||

| Or how do I join the Republican Party? | ||
| We want to get people out there to do the job, to start everything that's going on just in Broward County. | ||
| Just this next month in March, we're going to have 150 people sign up to work. | ||
| And what do these people have to do when they get in precinctstrategy.com? | ||
| They gotta go out door to door. | ||
| They gotta get on the phone. | ||
| I have crippled people calling me. | ||
| I have everybody calling me. | ||
| How do we get involved? | ||
| So I think this is the biggest thing that's happened, and I think this is going to go on for a long time. | ||
| Steve, I want to thank you. | ||

| We mean business. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||

| We have the shirt I'm wearing. | ||

| USA all the way. | ||
| And we'll throw in a hat just for your coming in today. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Thanks a lot, Steve, for everything you've done. | ||
| And again, you got the action, action, action. | ||
| Mike Lindell, terrific. | ||
| Mike is the guy that did it also. | ||
| The team has come through. | ||
| Steve, thank you very much. | ||
| Great. | ||
| We love the shirts. | ||
| So President Trump's now endorsed precinct strategy. | ||
| That means let's get up off the couch and get to work. | ||
| We're going to get the convoy on a second one. | ||
| Thanks, Stern. | ||
| By the way, Dan Schultz has started all this. | ||
| The great Dan Schultz, the West Point grad, is going to be with us tonight at five o'clock. | ||
| I want to go back to Cortez before I hit Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Steve, I just want to go through and make sure people understand something about this is economic warfare. | ||
| As the Chinese colonels at the time wrote in Unrestricted Warfare, this is the manual for the CCP's confrontation with the West, and they lay out three types. | ||
| No, exactly right, Steve. | ||
| They say you never want to fight the foreign devils, you never want to fight the USA on a kinetic war. | ||
| You can take them down by information and cyber, but particularly economic warfare. | ||
| This is economic warfare 101. | ||
| And your point is, you're targeting the people, maybe to overthrow Putin, but what you should be doing is targeting the oligarchs, and that's all about energy. | ||
| Walk us through your theory of the case. | ||
| No, exactly right, Steve. | ||
| And by the way, that idea of regime change, something which has generally been disastrous for the United States for many decades, which has been pushed by the permanent political class, the foreign policy establishment of Washington, D.C. | ||
| The idea of regime change in Russia, well, be careful what you wish for. | ||
| You know, we got regime change in Iraq. | ||
| We got rid of Saddam Hussein, who was a terrible guy, but a known quantity. | ||
| And what did we get in its place? | ||
| We got ISIS, which was even worse. | ||
| Something very similar could happen in Russia. | ||
| And of course, the consequences could be far more dire, because Russia is a nuclear power. | ||
| And not just any nuclear power, but the biggest in the world, with more warheads than even we have. | ||
| In the United States. | ||
| So this is a very dangerous game that we're playing again. | ||
| It is unprecedented the degree to which we are trying intentionally meaning we meaning Biden and the Europeans primarily trying to intentionally collapse a country's currency. | ||
| The Russian ruble right now as we speak is down 18% for the day. | ||
| It's been down as much as 30% for the day. | ||
| Now, I wouldn't call that a collapse quite yet, but it's incredible volatility and it is going to most punish the people who can least afford it. | ||
| The working class folks of Russia. | ||
| Who can sustain that kind of volatility? | ||
| The oligarchs and Putin can't sustain it. | ||
| What could they not sustain? | ||
| The cessation of energy sales, and that's what we're continuing to do. | ||
| So in other words, Biden and his Davos pals have this exactly wrong on a Yeah. | ||
| prescription. We're continuing to buy Russian energy in mass. At the same time we are we are totally punishing regular everyday Russians as they deal with a currency collapse that we are intentionally causing a weaponization of money that is absolutely unprecedented in history. | ||
| Let's take a break. | ||
| We got Ben Hornwell in Rome. | ||
| Cortez is my wingman for the entire two hours. | ||
| Dr. Naomi Wolf's next about the collapse of the mass mandates. | ||
| We got the convoy coming on. | ||
| I also want to say, if you think they're nuclear power, they're a true superpower when it comes to cyber. | ||
| They are a true superpower when it comes to cyber, and we've got to stand by that because that can change your life. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| Let's go now to the Convoy The People's Convoy, Maureen Steele, is one of the organizers. | ||
| So Maureen, first off, how big are you guys and where are you located right now and what's the plan coming forward? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The convoy is growing. | ||
| It's hard to determine daily how big it is because certain times of day it could be 30 miles long and then three hours later it's 15 miles long as trucks and people jump off that just rode with us for a certain part of the way. | ||
| But we did spend the evening last night in Big Cabin, Oklahoma. | ||
| To just an incredible welcome again. | ||
| Just tons of food and church groups that turned out. | ||
| Just putting out barbecue and pulled pork and chowder and jambalaya. | ||
| Just an amazing welcome from Oklahoma. | ||
| And the whole route through Oklahoma, we had a state trooper escort, which was just tremendous. | ||
| Everyone's been so kind. | ||
| You know, people lining the highways and overpasses. | ||
| Just thousands and thousands of people lining the roads and overpasses. | ||
| Almost every single overpass we went under had, I mean, just hundreds of people on them. | ||
| It was incredible. | ||
| And so where we're headed today, we are going to St. | ||
| Roberts, Missouri. | ||
| We'll get there probably around 1.30 and we'll have a little rally there. | ||
| And then we're spending the evening in Cuba, Missouri at a truck stop there. | ||
| And all that's posted on our website. | ||
| How do people... I want to make sure everybody gets the map. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody gets the map. | ||
| There we got amazing footage. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| The footage is absolutely incredible. | ||
| How do people, Maureen, where do they go to get the map? | ||
| Because the overpasses are unbelievable. | ||
| And then if they get the opportunity to join the convoy for a while, the whole way. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody knows how to get to the logistics of this, because this is the most important thing. | ||
| As you come east, and particularly as you cross the Mississippi, and get into the more populated parts of the country, this thing's going to metastasize, and we want to make sure everybody's safe, everybody's secure, and everybody can kind of plan it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So the site is www.thepeoplesconvoy.org. | ||
| And there is a page on there that shows not just our route, like where we're going, that might name random towns along the route, but the actual places that we're stopping at for the evening or to rally. | ||
| And we did an impromptu rally the other day, like it was just kind of a last-minute thing. | ||
| We stopped in Tucumcari, New Mexico. | ||
| That wasn't planned, but we had heard and the truckers heard that the people of Tucumcari wanted to see us, so we rolled in. | ||
| So they do a little bit of impromptu stuff as well, the truckers. | ||
| But those are our next stops. | ||
| We're in Missouri and two stops there today. | ||
| St. | ||
| Roberts and then Cuba, Missouri for the evening. | ||
| OK. | ||
| And we're going to get this up. | ||
| By the way, for our podcast and radio audience, which is massive, you can't see the visuals. | ||
| And this is why we recommend you go to Worm.org and make sure you get the show notes so you can see later in the day. | ||
| Or go down to Rumble or any of our other platforms, Real America's Voice, and make sure you get the visuals. | ||
| The actual visuals in this are stunning. | ||
| This convoy goes forever. | ||
| You've got the big rigs, but you also have SUVs, you have RVs, people driving. | ||
| They've got Trump signs. | ||
| They've got flags, because it's more than just Trump. | ||
| This is a national movement to stop the mandates. | ||
| And I want to make sure everybody in the live chat, the whole team, will start putting up across all the platforms, all access to what Maureen's been talking about, so people can plan to be on an overpass if they want to greet the truckers, or they can actually be at a rally point. | ||
| So it's going to be Cuba, Missouri tonight. | ||
| That's going to be your rally point tonight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it is. | |
| It is, and it's a truck stop right off the main drag. | ||
| I'm happy to forward you the exact address so, Steve, you can get it up on your site and direct people. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| We'll put up our site. | ||
| One last thing. | ||
| We're going to have Dr. Naomi Wolf on here. | ||
| New York City, New York State yesterday said, hey, we're doing away with the mask mandates. | ||
| New York City came in, we're going to do away with these, even the vaccines. | ||
| Tomorrow, the Democrats are collapsing. | ||
| They said mask optional, right, because they see the polling. | ||
| Do you think they're doing this because of the fear that a righteous indignation of working class people, as shown by the truckers, is having these governors and the President of the United States and the Democrats start to fold? | ||
| Or do you think your mission still has not been accomplished? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I agree 100% with that. | |
| I think when Biden and officials realized we were getting a convoy together and we were moving and we were going to be It's like they started announcing the rollback. | ||
| But again, that's not just what we're after. | ||
| As I said, we want accountability and we want the state of emergency to be rescinded. | ||
| As you know, Biden just extended that. | ||
| So how can he be extending a state of emergency when they're all admitting that the emergency is over, yet he extended it? | ||
| And he extended that, I believe, because it gives him the ability to trample over our founding documents. | ||
| And so we're not just driving to lift the mandates. | ||
| You know, there's a lot of other issues here. | ||
| That we need answers for, and that's what the drivers are driving home. | ||
| We want accountability. | ||
| One more time, Maureen Steele. | ||
|

|
How do people get to you? | |
| www.thepeoplesconvoy.org. | ||
| Maureen Steele, you're a patriot and a hero. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us today, and thanks for all the work you're doing with the truckers and the convoy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks again, Steve. | |
| Great to be here. | ||
| Okay, later we're going to try to get Michael Yan and John Soropoulos, who are doing amazing work as I'm putting the film and the footage together. | ||
| Also, there's an air bridge now, too. | ||
| There's actually an air convoy. | ||
| We're going to get the guys from Dallas, try to get them on later. | ||
| I think they're down in Fort Worth. | ||
| They've been putting this together, so we're trying to pull all this together in the time that we have. | ||
| I want to go to Cortez. | ||
| Cortez, one more time, I want to make sure people understand What the scam here is and what Biden's policies, you know, Ben Hardwell brought this up on Saturday. | ||
| Walking through how the radical, and we're going to have Turner on later, how the radical environmentalists jammed this situation up. | ||
| Many of whom, or some of whom are supported, these NGOs are supported by Russian disinformation things to make sure the oligarchs are making so much money off natural gas to Western Europe. | ||
| And now, people don't understand, we're buying lots of Russian oil every day right from the oligarchs because of Biden's policy. | ||
| By the way, one thing I want to say to Ron Filipovsky, I know he Watches the show every day. | ||
| I feel your pain in Ben's 12-minute analysis. | ||
| We're gonna have Ben do it much more succinctly today, I promise. | ||
| We're gonna get that down to like two minutes, not the 12. | ||
| Go ahead, Steve Cortes. | ||
| Let me try to be brief and let me give you the numbers there on just how much Russian crude we are buying. | ||
| And you're exactly right, by the way. | ||
| You know, the West, more so Europe than the United States, of course, but the West, we are supplicant, unfortunately, to Russia regarding energy. | ||
| And why? | ||
| We don't need to be. | ||
| It's largely because Some Swedish teenagers scolded us, right? | ||
| And we decided to adopt an echo agenda of the far left that was, of course, implicitly supported by the Russian oligarchs. | ||
| But to get to the numbers, according to S&P right now, for the full year, actually 2021, per day, we were bringing in an 11-year high. | ||
| We were bringing in 200,000 barrels per day of Russian crude. | ||
| Now, that's nothing compared to what the United States produces, but let's put that in dollar terms. | ||
| That $100 crude, we're almost there right now, that's $20 million per day From the United States going directly to the Russian war machine and to the oligarchs. | ||
| And of course, that's a tiny drop in the bucket compared to what they're exporting every single day to Europe. | ||
| So the point here again, Steve, is that unfortunately, because of the policies of the left, which Joe Biden has instituted in this country, we are in a position of subservience and dependency when it comes to energy to Putin. | ||
| And when it comes to the grandstanding of the left right now, All of the blue check folks on Twitter, all of the people who are proudly waving Ukrainian flags, who are pouring out Russian vodka, they are at the same time, while they're doing that with one hand, with the other hand, they are gladly buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth per day in total of Russian energy. | ||
| We have it exactly backwards. | ||
| If you really mean it about punishing Putin and the oligarchs, Stop buying the Russian energy. | ||
| At the same time, I believe what we're doing in terms of manipulating the currency and debanking Russia is unbelievably dangerous. | ||
| It's an unprecedented move and we really don't even know what the ramifications could be. | ||
| But in my view, they could be incredibly dire when you're talking about a nuclear power of 145 million people with already wounded pride. | ||
| Okay, I want to make sure people understand. | ||
| Pennsylvania, as the centerpiece, but part of southern New York State, eastern Ohio, and parts of West Virginia, they are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. | ||
| Donald Trump's program was to export, to make us a dominant full-spectrum superpower and exporter. | ||
| The LNG project, which could go to Poland, would absolutely make us, could substitute all the oligarchs' natural gas. | ||
| That was Trump's plan, right? | ||
| This whole situation with Poland and doing it. | ||
| But that is because the United States of America Pennsylvania, parts of New York, parts of Eastern Ohio, parts of West Virginia are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. | ||
| We're a superpower. | ||
| Steve, to that point on natural gas, let me give you a statistic on some data on just how badly Joe Biden crushed that industry. | ||
| And not just curse that industry, but to the expense, of course, to the detriment of regular consumers in the United States, who all saw this this winter. | ||
| I mean, talk to anybody. | ||
| They know their home heating bills if they live somewhere cold. | ||
| They were brutal this winter. | ||
| And of course, winter's not done for a lot of folks. | ||
| But natural gas prices in futures contracts on inauguration day, January 20th of 2021, when Joe Biden illegitimately took office, natural gas was at $2.50. | ||
| And that was a level where it had roughly been throughout the entirety of the Trump administration. | ||
| Stable, dependable, low-priced, affordable, American-produced natural gas. | ||
| By Thanksgiving of last year, just as previous Thanksgiving, when things were not hot, we can't blame the Ukraine for this, natural gas had risen all the way to $4.36. | ||
| From $2.50 To 436 because of Joe Biden's war on American energy and his overall inflationary exorbitant spending and borrowing. | ||
| That's what he has done to American consumers. | ||
| That's what he's done to American energy dominance and placed us back in a place, unfortunately, of energy dependency. | ||
| And because of that, we're playing this ridiculous scam out right now on the world stage. | ||
| It's really a charade, Steve. | ||
| Remember, Putin's arguably, they say, the richest guy in the world. | ||
| He takes 10% off the top of everything. | ||
| funneling barrels of money to the Russian oligarchs and to Putin for his war machine. It's an incredibly dangerous game that the Davos set is playing right now. Remember, Putin arguably, they say the richest guy in the world, he takes 10% off the top of everything, he's worth 200 billion dollars. The more Russian energy you buy, and it is obscene that the United States of America is buying Russian oil. | ||
| It's an obscenity, right? | ||
| Because you're buying it right from the oligarchs, and you're enriching the worst aspects of the KGB-controlled Russia. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Dr. Naomi Wolf is going to join us. | ||
| Victory begets victory, and she's running the tables right now. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host Stephen K Banham. | ||
| OK, breaking news. | ||
| I just sent this to Cortez and I'll get him on in a second to talk about breaking news. | ||
| New York Times. | ||
| Switzerland will freeze Russian assets, setting aside its long tradition of neutrality. | ||
| The country is a favorite destination of Russian money. | ||
| It was a favorite. | ||
| It was a more favorite destination of Nazi money. | ||
| I don't think they froze their assets in World War Two. | ||
| So we're going to get to all of this. | ||
| Get back to Cortez. | ||
| Dr. Naomi Wolf joins us. | ||
| Dr. Wolf, walk us through. | ||
| You know, all of a sudden, since the Ukraine-Russia situation, CNN and MSNBC don't have the tallies on COVID cases. | ||
| They don't have the deaths. | ||
| It's like gone. | ||
| And now you had the governor of New York drop all the mandates. | ||
| You got the mayor of New York. | ||
| You got the president's mask optional tomorrow. | ||
| Is this victory after victory after victory? | ||
| What is driving this total collapse of the regime in regards to these totalitarian mandates, ma'am? | ||
| Well, first, it is a victory lap. | ||
| Like, we work so hard to fight bad guys coming over the hill ceaselessly that when we actually have a series of victories, it is important to celebrate and to look at what we've all accomplished. | ||
| So I have to notice, you know, that we hosted, with your help, a webinar teaching 800 furious parents how to sue Governor Hochul personally The school boards personally and the boards of health members personally. | ||
| Last Wednesday, it was posted on Thursday and Friday. | ||
| And four days later, Governor Hochul announced in a Sunday press conference that she was dropping mask mandates all over the city. | ||
| And as you said, Mayor Adams of New York City is floating the prospect that he's going to drop vaccine mandates. | ||
| I don't know that the one caused the other. | ||
| I think it's a million voices leading to these outcomes. | ||
| But I do want to say that you stood up, your wonderful team stood up, and all the millions of people who took action and listened to you, listened to Mr. Ostrowski, said, hell yes, I'm going to sue my school board personally. | ||
| I'm going to sue the governor personally. | ||
| All of those actions, We have to give a shout out to you and setting it up but just give a shout to the lawyer because that seminar was so on point and so brutal. | ||
| These parents were jacked up and they're getting ready to go sue people personally and it was amazing. | ||
| Who's the lawyer? | ||
| Because this guy was on point. | ||
| A powerful model and he did such a fantastic job. | ||
| It's James Ostrowski. | ||
| He's in Buffalo and he created a template For any parent or anyone to use anywhere in the country to save them thousands of dollars in legal fees to just hit the ground running and sue, and this is genius, not just in their official capacity, the governor, the school board members, school board supervisor, boards of health, but as individuals. | ||
| And this is how you hold people's feet to the fire. | ||
| And it was such a powerful model. | ||
| He walked us through it. | ||
| He had a beautiful presentation. | ||
| All of these parents asked wonderful questions specific to their state or their child's situation. | ||
| And this resulted in, you know, and then Cameron, you're one, I won't name him if he doesn't want me to, but your wonderful staff. | ||
| You posted it on your socials, and you are the number one political podcast. | ||
| So all of this is not accidental. | ||
| It resulted in millions of people immediately being empowered to drag individuals' assets through the courts. | ||
| And I have to notice, as a former political consultant, that she blinked. | ||
| It resulted, in my view, in people calling her office saying, oh, hold on a minute. | ||
| You know, we don't want to be in the crosshairs like this. | ||
| We don't want our retirement. | ||
| Be dragged through the courts by these furious parents who want us to unmask their kids. | ||
| And we're also going to bring criminal charges for child abuse, which we haven't gotten to in that webinar, but that's the next step. | ||
| And I mean, that kind of empowerment of citizens with the law bullies the bully. | ||
|

|
Right? | |
| And these people are bullies, and they think they can browbeat citizens by using the law, using their lawyers, using their elite status. | ||

This is why I come to The Daily Cloud, and this is why I'm so glad to have you as my analyst. | |
| Here's the power. | ||
| This is why Trump and the precinct strategy, this is a participatory populism. | ||
| Get involved. | ||
| What Dr Naomi Watts has been telling you is that we're going on offense. | ||
| That's part of what the convoy is, right? | ||
| And they're peaceful, but they're sitting there going, we're not going to tolerate this anymore. | ||
| And what she did with this lawyer, and they didn't even get to the criminal charges, but the thing was so powerful and so logical as far as the law goes, if you're an official, you're not gonna be able to play games anymore. | ||
| You don't have ultimate, you're not a dictator anymore. | ||
| The ability to be an authoritarian dictator Dr. Wolfe and the lawyer, and what I loved was the parents. | ||
| The questions, the parents were so engaged, the presentation was so great. | ||
| This is about going on offense. | ||
| When are we going to have the seminar on criminal charges for child abuse, Dr. Wolfe? | ||
| Well, I'm just going to pull a date out of the hat and say two Wednesdays from now and we'll make it happen. | ||
| And I also want to give a shout out to Craig Klein, my colleague at Daily Clout. | ||
| And to all of you who have sent, like, your $5s, $10s, I know it's hard for me to ask for them, but they have resulted in our being able to post these webinars that empower you to go after these bad guys personally. | ||
| Let me say one more thing about what you just said, Mr. Bannon, about going on offense. | ||
| I'm not trained militarily, but I know political combat. | ||
| And you are a thousand percent right that we don't rest on our laurels now, we have to Chase them over the hill, metaphorically, and hound them, and harry them, and back them up, metaphorically. | ||
| Let me give you one more example. | ||
| I'm sitting here in the Walker Hotel in Tribeca in New York City, a formerly great city, which has been broken by vaccine mandates, broken by forced mask wearing. | ||
| I decided, you know, three days now I've been going to get my coffee, In the lobby, at a cafe, in the hotel that doesn't let me sit at a lunch counter because I'm not vaccinated. | ||
| There are big signs everywhere. | ||
| And I'm like, I couldn't do it the third day. | ||
| So I decided to see if they were really going to blink. | ||
| So I nicely informed the staff that I was not vaccinated. | ||
| They said I couldn't sit down. | ||
| I said, nicely, I'm not going to comply with that unconstitutional order. | ||
| And I've been live gettering my peaceful noncompliance sitting at that lunch counter in Lafley. | ||
| And I said, Governor Hochul, Mayor Adams, I'm right here. | ||
| Speed dial. | ||
| at the Becca Walker Hotel at the lunch counter if you want to arrest me. | ||
| And I sat there for an hour and I notified management, I notified the staff, no one arrested me, right? | ||
| I'm fine. | ||
| So this goes to show when you refuse to comply and you make them show up and you make them do their worst and you arm yourself, you know, definitely I had my lawyer on standby, right? | ||
