Fire! | |
| Reduce the sight! | ||
| Reduce the sight! | ||
| Well, the liberal world order that was invented right after World War II that I was born into, I think we all were, is dissolving in front of our eyes. | ||
| Let me say a couple things, Ali, and hello to my friend Ian. | ||
| Ian and I were both in Munich two weeks ago, before all this, at the Munich Security Conference, when Zelensky flew in for an hour to tell us how horrible things could be unless we rallied together. | ||
| I actually think, first of all, I salute his bravery. | ||
| I actually think we have rallied together. | ||
| And the fact that you are in Hungary, read Hungary, which is welcoming some refugees, tells me that the West is totally united. | ||
| But we have to do more. | ||
| It is a good idea to avoid a hot war with Russia in Ukraine. | ||
| And I think that the U.S. | ||
| position on the no-fly zone, sad as it is, is the right position. | ||
| But let me just put out there four more things that we should be doing. | ||
| One, we should rally a worldwide tech army to tell the truth to the Russian people. | ||
| This is not so hard. | ||
| We've got the resources in the world to do this. | ||
| And once they learn the truth, I think things will change on the ground for Putin. | ||
| Number two, We have to stop all energy imports. | ||
| Speaker Pelosi, I'm sure will say this on the call with Zelensky in another hour, but we have to toughen up and do this, otherwise a hot war in Europe. | ||
| And three, we have to back channel better with China. | ||
| President Xi, in my view, doesn't want an embarrassing leadership in Russia doing this to the world. | ||
| It will not help his plans, geopolitical plans for the future. | ||
| And four, we can roll in batteries, trash trucks, with with anti-missile batteries on them into Ukraine. | ||
| The Ukrainians can drive these trucks. | ||
| This is how we set up the Iron Dome system initially in Israel. | ||
| And that would give the Ukrainians a lot more leverage to shoot down the Russian planes. | ||
| How far can the West and NATO and Europe and America push this without getting into a war? | ||
| Oh, two points here. | ||
| First is, I have no truck, as it were, with any of the suggestions that my friend Jane has just made. | ||
| But I also firmly believe that they're not going to change the situation on the ground in Ukraine. | ||
| Doesn't mean we shouldn't do them, but they're not going to change the situation on the ground. | ||
| I absolutely believe at this point, and I think it's clear from All of the actions of Russia on the ground, as well as all of the engagements the Russians have had diplomatically with leaders like Macron and Shultz. | ||
| Biden won't talk to Putin at this point, and I think that's appropriate given what's happening. | ||
| That Putin intends to remove Zelensky, Putin intends to destroy Kiev. | ||
| And that outcome makes it impossible to have a climb down with Russia. | ||
| That makes it impossible to return to a world pre-Cold War that we are now and again with a peace dividend. | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| It's absolutely gone. | ||
| Now, I do think it's important to understand. | ||
| There's a reason why Jane just said that a no-fly zone is a bad idea. | ||
| It's the same reason why NATO has said that they will not put troops on the ground in Ukraine. | ||
| And that's because the West believes that with those two actions, that creates the potential for World War III. | ||
| That that means that Western troops are directly fighting against the Russians. | ||
| What I want to be clear here is that Putin doesn't see it that way. | ||
| Putin believes that every single thing that Jane just mentioned, aside from engage with the Chinese, Putin believes that what we're already doing in terms of providing advanced defense capabilities from NATO to Ukraine, providing real-time intelligence updates on the disposition of Russian forces so the Ukrainians can better blow them up, as well as trying to destroy the Russian economy, Putin considers all of those things acts of war. | ||
| And what we need to be ready for is the fact that he will retaliate against NATO. | ||
| At a time of his choosing and with different ways, different mechanisms, but we should not pretend, unfortunately, that this is a battle that only involves Ukraine directly. | ||
| That is absolutely not the case. | ||
| And I'm fairly certain Jane agrees with that. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| The strike against the central bank over the weekend, as you mentioned in your setup, is the thing right now. | ||
| Everything else is being worked out. | ||
| It's not clear which banks will be cut out of SWIFT. | ||
| The correspondence banking thing that Biden announced on Thursday is important because that means even the really big banks in Russia can't deal in dollars anymore. | ||
| But hitting the Central Bank, that's a declaration of war on the national authority. | ||
| It hits every element of the Russian economy. | ||
| As soon as the markets hear that, you just sell everything. | ||
| There's no discrimination anymore. | ||
| Everything has to go. | ||
| Because the ruble's going to plunge. | ||
| All Russian assets are going to devalue. | ||
| Right now, it's not fallen as much as you'd expect, as they've basically clamped down on all currency trading. | ||
| You can't take money out of Russia anymore. | ||
| You can't sell rubles even if you wanted to. | ||
| So we're in a real—this is a regime shift. | ||
| And we did this not after, if you like, Putin had accomplished his seizure of Ukraine to slap him on the wrist and punish him, but in the middle of a shooting war, which, as the general was explaining, is still undecided, right? | ||
| So this became us, in a sense, taking the side of the Ukrainians in this conflict, which I don't think was the original plan. | ||
| In a sense, we'd stood back, if we're honest with ourselves, 10 days ago. | ||
| Both the Europeans and the Americans had abandoned Ukraine to its fate. | ||
| If Putin was cynical and violent enough, he was going to take it. | ||
| And now their resistance has changed the game. | ||
| That has completely changed the emotional political dynamic of this and made it much, much more dangerous, frankly. | ||
| Well, that's very sobering. | ||
| I guess the final question here is, the Moscow stock market has been closed for four days. | ||
| There's this crazy thing where they can't open it because it's going to plunge and they're just keeping it closed, but at a certain point, you know, the cat's out of the bag. | ||
|

|
Yeah, this is Great Depression era. | |
| This is like a national bank holiday forever. | ||
| Because the reality is too horrible to contemplate. | ||
| We believe that NATO countries have created a narrative that closing the skies over Ukraine would provoke Russia's direct aggression against NATO. | ||
| This is the self-hypnosis of those who are weak, insecure inside, despite the fact they possess weapons many times stronger than we have. | ||
| Self-hypnotized, weak. | ||
| That is Zelensky, the star. | ||
| He's telling you what he is. | ||
| He's calling out the West. | ||
| Because it was the West. | ||
| It was the EU, it was the Party of Davos, it was NATO, and American administration is led by Hillary Clinton, the grabbing and stealing out of that country with both hands, and now the feckless, hapless Biden, which all his guys are all Hillary Clinton and Obama guys. | ||
| This is the globalist party in this country have led the Ukrainian people down the primrose path and abandoned them to their fate. | ||
| They've been abandoned to their fate. | ||
| They're taking the incoming. | ||
| These cities are being destroyed, they're taking the incoming, and people should understand this, and nobody, and no Republican, you got Mike Pence out there, we have to be champions for freedom! | ||
| What does that mean, dude? | ||
| You gotta get specific here, don't give me happy talk, that's all happy talk. | ||
| Let's talk reality. | ||
| Jane Harman laid it out. | ||
| These are all perceived as acts of war because they are acts of war. | ||
| Ian Bremmer lays it out. | ||
| Adam Tooze lays it out. | ||
| And these are guys that are on the other side of the football. | ||
| They're kind of, hey, we got to get in there, we got to get in there. | ||
| But even Ian Bremmer and Tooze are sitting there going, these are, Adam Tooze, this is a declaration of war against the state authority. | ||
| Notice he didn't say Putin. | ||
| Yeah, Putin and the KGB guys and that power structure that runs it, not the oligarchs, they are essentially the personification of state authority, a declaration of war against state authority. | ||
| And with Jane Harman, God bless her, what she's sitting there, because she's kind of McCain's mini-me, she's the Democratic mini-me, she's a congressman from Manhattan Beach, and I should say, as full disclosure, she's, although my daughter went to West Point really as an athlete, It was Jane Harman who was the congressional congressman that signed off on her and put her forward. | ||
| Jane Harman's a good person, but right here, she's a super hawk, and the four things she's talking about, and the she thing's ridiculous. | ||
| She's sitting there licking his chops. | ||
| His geopolitical designs, by the way, Jane, are complete total global hegemony, okay? | ||
| Take that number two pencil and write that down. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna go to, we got coverage of this in the Convoy wall-to-wall today, plus we got Naomi Wolf about what's actually going on, hopefully maybe get even Malone in here later, about these Pfizer documents. | ||
| There's a ton going on today. | ||
| I want to start in Krakow, the hometown of St. | ||
| John Paul II. | ||
| Our own Matthew Tierman is there. | ||
| He's got to take off to Warsaw momentarily. | ||
| Matthew, I want to go to Zelensky. | ||
| Zelensky, and hey, I want CNN and MSNBC, particularly Aaron Burnett and the Mommy Hour, I want them, as the mothers and children get more blown up and more eviscerated over the next week, I want to hear live of what they have to say in support of Zelensky. | ||
| He's going right after the Biden administration and the feckless West that has led him into this place and gave them commitments, they believe they had commitments and guarantees, Matthew Tierman. | ||
| Well, it's important to note that Biden has been on the on Senate committee side. | ||
| He's been he was the reason Obama picked him as a running mate because he wanted to to buffer his chops in foreign policy, given, you know, Biden's 30 plus years in the Senate and deeply involved in these debates. | ||
| He's fashioned himself an expert. | ||
| As we as we can see, the emperor has no clothes. | ||
| The emperor's got a vegetable mush bread. | ||
| He has led them to this point. | ||
| You know, we have said for 30 years, Baker, Minsk, that we would not shake a stick in Russia and the post Yeltsin, the Putin KGB orders, aye, with EU and NATO encroachment. | ||
| And we have surreptitiously, not so surreptitiously, and the Russians aren't aware of it. | ||
| They're aware. | ||
| They saw we did have a role in catalyzing 2014. | ||
| I do believe there's legitimacy there and that the Ukrainian people did not want to be Belarus and Lukashenko all over again. | ||
| But we we've helped build this. | ||
| I mean, this you know, this is on our doorstep politically for a reason. | ||
| I will agree with Jane Harman. | ||
| Not only is it not appropriate for Biden. | ||
| To be running points on negotiations. | ||
| That would be an absolute disaster, given that our credibility is 100 percent shot. | ||
| But there's a political wrinkle here as well. | ||
| Macron is the one who is leading point in negotiations. | ||
| He's the one who has been talking directly to Putin. | ||
| Not coincidentally, he's up for reelection in four weeks. | ||
| Not coincidentally, he announced his formal reelection campaign yesterday on the last day of the deadline as the incumbent. | ||
| And that evening, yesterday evening, Twitter took down the proxy campaign accounts for Marine Le Pen's people and Zamora's people. | ||
| So there's a little bit of a fix is in. | ||
| You would think historically it would be Germany running point on these negotiations. | ||
| But because of the prevarication of all of Schultz over energy and the weakness, the non harmonization, the non cohesion with Brussels on the sanctions policy, Germany did come to it, but came to it late. | ||
| Schultz has very little credibility. | ||
| He's already been reelected. | ||
| So now Macron is running point on the geopolitical back and forth with Putin when they're talking ceasefires. | ||
| Now, as I mentioned to you earlier, a Russian ceasefire is not worth toilet paper. | ||
| All it is is a posture to get their offensive capacities, get them more time to put them in position for the next offensive. | ||
| Real quickly, I know you're going to, you're headed to Hungary, you're very focused on the refugees coming out, all these different countries. | ||
| Real quickly, Zelensky, this is only going to intensify, right? | ||
| Because the White House is now super embarrassed by this. | ||
| Zelensky is going full in, you guys are weak, you're self-hypnotized, and you're weak. | ||
| Walk us through in the next couple of days how the Zelensky thing is going to play out. | ||
| Well, Zelensky is obviously the optical tip of the spear on the Ukrainian resistance. | ||
| The PR battle he's waging globally is actually pretty good. | ||
| We haven't seen one like this in a long time, where he's out there, you know, holding a rifle with his ministers and his advisors, and that's playing well. | ||
| Across Europe, there is a pretty strong unity in support of Ukraine, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, the Warsaw Pact nations that were subjugated under the USSR. | ||
| This is why Orban has a problem, because Hungarians widely support and stand with Ukrainians. | ||
| They had an uprising in the 80s that was brutally and violently squelched by Moscow. | ||
| And now Orban's up for re-election, but he can't go too aggressive against Putin because then he'll turn the energy off right ahead of the election and take active measures. | ||
| Putin doesn't mind if the leftists, even though him and Orban have good relations, if the leftist Marky Zai comes into power and he helps them, because he's a weak green who can be manipulated. | ||
| So that's playing very, very difficult for Orban at the moment. | ||
| Zelensky's shaking a stick at the West. | ||
| I don't think there's much coordination here. | ||
| Right now, this morning, Blinken, the Secretary of State, is with Spygniew Rau, the Foreign Minister of Poland, in Warsaw on a press conference, and they're putting forward that there's no daylight between them. | ||
| I can tell from, as I said yesterday, I'm in Warsaw the last week. | ||
| There's a lot of U.S. | ||
| Army guys running around, and they're doing what they can to buffer the Ukrainian position, which is another reason why Putin is moving toward Odessa, Moldova, and Romania, one of the weakest If he's going to encroach upon NATO's sphere, it's going to be on the Romanian border, and Romania has no defenses. | ||
| We're going to talk about that. | ||
| Matthew, real quickly, what's your social media as you head down to Warsaw so people can follow you? | ||
| Matthew Terremont, MATT, HEW, TYR, MAND. | ||
| Quick shout-out, I'm broadcasting from the Krakow podcast, Global Headquarters in Krakow. | ||

| Look forward to your commentary on Monday as you head to Warsaw. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back. | ||
| We have Poso. | ||
| We've got Jack Posobiec. | ||
| We've got Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| This thing is packed. | ||
| I'm going to talk to Poso about why are they not blowing the bridges? | ||
| You talk about getting to Romania and getting to Moldova. | ||
| They've got to cross like six rivers. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Where's the Ukrainian army and why are they not blowing up the bridges to stop the Russian advance? | ||
| All next in the War Room. | ||

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. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, MyPillow.com promo code, War Room. | ||
| We got the winner, Sleep Cell. | ||
| Remember, if you're gonna man the ramparts, you need a great night's sleep. | ||
| Not a good night's sleep. | ||
| You need that. | ||
| You gotta go to MyPillow.com promo code, War Room. | ||
| The colored, they got the overstocks on the colored Giza Dream Sheets. | ||
| $49.99. | ||
| One time good deal. | ||
| These overstocks, Mike Lindell's been running around trying to get three November change. | ||

| Go there today, they got overstock items, 50% off, but it's special on these colored Giza Dream Sheets. | ||

| are $49.99, the rest you guys, look, this counts as much as 73%, some as low as $29.99, but you got to go take action, action, action, do it today. | ||
| Before I go to Harnwell, he's got a very astute analysis of the Zelensky situation. | ||
| I want to go to Jack Posobiec, who's a former naval intelligence officer, covers us like a glove. | ||
| On the military, we had the Clint Watts, who by the way, you know, hates MAGA and hates all that, but pretty good military analyst. | ||
| I think does the crispest job of all over at MSNBC. | ||
| The game, I understand you've got a siege of Kiev and you've got the eastern provinces, but in the jewel in the crown here, the south, they connect what they've already taken in Crimea with Maripol and Odessa and have a land bridge all the way across. | ||
| So they, the Russia, then controls the Black Sea, the Caspian, all the great ports. | ||
| In Kiev, where they sold all the grain and everything came out of, they would control that. | ||
| And there's a series of bridges down there, Jack Pasovic. | ||
| My question is, I haven't seen, maybe it's out there, but we go all over, including your site, and your Twitter, and your Getter, to see all the video, everything. | ||
| I haven't seen a big organized effort down there. | ||
| And particularly the question is, if you want to stop the Russians, as Matthew Tirman just said, getting to Moldova and Romanian border, You gotta blow the bridges up. | ||
| Tell us what's going on. | ||
| No, Steve, when it comes down to this situation, the situation in the South is dire. | ||
| The Russian military, they're sitting right outside of Mariupol. | ||
| They've opened up a civilian corridor, a humanitarian corridor to get people out because they're immediately on the precipice of going in and taking the city of Mariupol. | ||
| They started out with Sevastopol and then Odessa is the only one they need left. | ||
| Those bridges They're not touching those bridges because the Ukrainian military, by and large, has been encircled using this policy of kettling. | ||
| It's the same thing you see the cops do in Washington, D.C. | ||
| with protesters, right? | ||
| They kettle them up, and so instead of directly engaging them, they kettle them, they hold them steady, and then they can annihilate them with heavy arms and with air. | ||
| You're seeing that happen in the East. | ||
| You're starting to see that happen around Kiev, where they have destroyed bridges across the Dnieper River outside of Kiev, but down there in the south, you don't have the Ukrainian military force to be able to even conduct those type of operations. | ||
| What you really have more in the south, like in Mariupol, for example, is these nationalists, in some cases neo-Nazi battalions, like Azov and Aripol. | ||
| Those are the ones that are really conducting most of the fighting still in the south. | ||
| They're the ones in Mariupol. | ||
| There's some reports about them not letting civilians out, not letting the Indian students, the African students, who are just trying to get out of the fight in this situation. | ||
| But I think you really, to step back, we're now at a point where you've got two camps. | ||
| And one camp is the escalators and the wishful thinkers. | ||
| And Ian Bremmer, really, you know, I heard that clip just today. | ||
| He had been in that camp all week. | ||
| And now, as reality is setting in, he's trying to join the realists who actually understand what is going on on the ground, the reality that is setting in, that Kiev is not going to win this fight. | ||
| This is a terrible situation, a horrific situation. | ||
| I would urge everyone, by the way, Caritas.org, that's the site you want to go to help the refugees, the people that are caught up in this. | ||
| Caritas.org, they're there on the ground in Ukraine, in Poland. | ||
| But understand that even though this is a humanitarian disaster and a disgusting thing that's happened, the reality is that the Russian army and the Russian forces are at this point encircling Kiev, they're encircling the Ukrainian army, and really it's just a matter of time. | ||
| But this is my point about the responsibility here. | ||
| Obviously the KGB, Putin and his junta, we know they've been bad guys and guys that have stripped the country of wealth and have all the oligarchs and has now the FSB or KGB guys, right? | ||
| There's no question about that. | ||
| We've said that for years and that's obvious. | ||
| The other people are culpable. | ||
| Like, for instance, even the audience going to that site and giving, I would say, hey, I understand, if you want to do it, where's Klaus Schwab and the Party of Davos? | ||
| Where are all the people that have enriched themselves on this? | ||
| Well, Steve, there's good news. | ||
| There's good news. | ||
| They've led, yeah, I know, you're going to, I'll let you finish, but they've led these people, every time you see an image, Those people sit there and go, you made commitments to us, you promised us. | ||
| These women and children were under the impression, I think, correctly, that the EU, NATO, Davos, Brussels, Washington D.C., in the Clinton-Obama-Biden junta, and also the neocons, you know, the Mike Pence's, we're champions of liberty. | ||
| Well, I just wanted to say there's good news. | ||
| You know, there is a new charity that's actually reactivating itself just in the last 12 hours. | ||
| Why we go after the Russian people, why for regime change? | ||
| That's why we're after their economy. | ||
| Jack Pasovic. | ||
| Well, I just wanted to say there's good news. | ||
| You know, there is a new charity that's actually reactivating itself. | ||
| Just in the last 12 hours, they put out a new video that the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative and Bill Clinton have announced that they, just in time, just in time for the Ukraine crisis, they are reactivating the Clinton Foundation. | ||
| They're trying to ride back in on this. | ||
| They're getting the band back together for one last grift. | ||
| The same way that they were grifting all of this stuff and the oligarchs like Victor Pinchuk and Igor Kolomoisky and all of these oligarchs. | ||
| Burisma, of course, was giving the money to Hunter Biden. | ||
| We know that they were doing this, stealing the goods, the wealth of the Ukrainian people, lining their own pockets with it. | ||
| You had Ukrainian oligarchs at one point. | ||
| We're the top level donors to the Clinton Foundation. | ||
| And I want people to understand that it was these oligarchs in the United States and in Ukraine and in Russia that have brought us to this entire situation. | ||
| Those are the ones who are to blame for all of this ultimately, in addition to exacerbating the situation to the point where Russia has decided to take this disastrous move. | ||
| He's not making this up. | ||
| The Clinton Foundation, which we made that film on before it went in and took over the Trump campaign in 2016. | ||
| Clinton Cash. | ||
| The Clinton's the most corrupt apparatus in the world. | ||
| The Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation literally just reinitiated 12 hours ago. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| They want to get in there and be stealing with both hands again. | ||
| There's going to be so much cash flowing in and out of this thing. | ||
| This is a scam. | ||
| And here's who's paying the price. | ||
| The women and children of innocent people in the Ukraine. | ||
| There's nobody coming to your defense. | ||
| You have to understand this. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| The NATO guys, and how they can sit on MSNBC with all these experts and the crackling fires. | ||
| You've got to watch it. | ||
| They've got the crackling fires in the background and the book line cases. | ||
| They've got Thucydides and Plutarch. | ||
| So you know these people are learned in intelligence. | ||
| They're sitting there, crackling fires. | ||
| These things look like they're out of Architectural Digest, okay? | ||
| They're right there and they're, you know, Barry McCaffrey. | ||
| The blood is on your hands too! | ||
| Don't take my word for it. | ||
| Listen to Zelensky. | ||
| Listen to the women and children coming out of there. | ||
| They're saying, you guys promised us, you guys committed to us. | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| Look at Zelensky saying, you're self-hypnotized, you're strong, but you convince yourself you're weak. | ||
| And everybody else is saying, these are all the path to wars. | ||
| Ian Bremmer and Adam Winston Two's are the guys saying, oh, by the way, we're actually have declared war on Russia. | ||
| And Putin knows that. | ||
| And either Ian Bremmer's sitting there going, he's just not going to sit there. | ||
| Posoba, you're an intel officer. | ||
| The cyber capabilities, his new tactical nuclear capabilities, they ain't just going to sit there and take it. | ||
| Jack Posoba. | ||
| Go look at the narrative shift, though, over the last 24 hours. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We've got Ian Bremmer. | ||
| Who's now flipping to suddenly he's a realist. | ||
| You've got MSNBC coming out with the headline, you know, maybe we shouldn't have tried to push Ukraine into NATO. | ||
| Maybe it would have sense, made sense for Ukraine to be that neutral buffer zone the way that, you know, Russia has been calling for since the 1990s. | ||
| And you've got Newsweek out there that's pushing this up. | ||
| It's almost like the flip has been, the switch has been flipped. | ||
| And the, you know, the 3am talking points went out and they said, hey, you know, we're going to lose this thing. | ||
| And Zelensky, we're very sorry, but you've played your role now and you're either going to be captured or you're going to be whisked away to Germany or Poland or maybe, we don't know, right? | ||
| You know, Zelensky, he's going to be someone that they are going to leave him out on the vine as the Russians come in. | ||
| And you're already seeing, by the way, you know, we just got reports before this out, SBU, that's essentially the Ukrainian CIA, they've killed one of the members of the negotiations team, the negotiation delegation of the Ukrainians. | ||
| Because they believed that he was a traitor, right? | ||
| So you've got the infighting going on within the Ukrainian government. | ||
| Then Putin just came out, gave a massive speech, massive press conference, where he said, and you know, he doesn't sound like he's putting the brakes on or pumping anything. | ||
| He said, if the Ukrainian government continues along this path, then Ukraine risks losing its statehood. | ||
| That's the latest message that we've got from the Kremlin, from Vladimir Putin's lips himself. | ||
| You've got better sources in the White House than anybody. | ||
| Right now, and these are not people you want to lean on. | ||
| When they're sending Kamala Harris to Poland. | ||
| How's that going to play, sir? | ||
| Right, that sends the message, again, the same way they sent Kamala Harris to the Munich conference. | ||
| It wasn't Biden that stood there with Zelensky. | ||
| I think that the decision had already been made to cut and run. | ||
| The decision had already been made to leave him to his fate. | ||
| That's why they sent Kamala Harris. | ||
| And that sends a message, whether you intend to or not, that sends a message to the Kremlin that this is not our highest priority. | ||
| They always give Kamala Harris the issues that they know are going to fail. | ||
| That's why they gave her the border. | ||
| That's why they gave her inflation. | ||
| And now that's why they're putting Ukraine as part of her portfolio. | ||
| And they're gonna send her over again because they don't want Joe Biden to be the face of this absolute failure the same way that he and Tony Blinken were the face of the absolute failure of Afghanistan. | ||
| I love you Adam. | ||
| Jack, how do people, you're a getter and your Twitter are must-watches. | ||
| Everybody in this audience needs to sign up and follow Posobiec. | ||
| It's like the AP, Associated Press. | ||

| I think they passed emergency, there's something confusing, I think they passed emergency legislation In Arizona yesterday, and I think it's already gotten signed in the middle of the night, banning the precinct committee project out there because it says it's going to overburden the system. | ||
| We got to get details, but Dan Schultz is going to, there's, the rhinos will come with a million ways not to, not to face accountability. | ||
| Also, today's Financial Times, if the camera can pull, I don't think, Krista Freeland, who is the hammer that took away all the civil rights of the truckers in Canada, today she's got a special, she's written an opinion piece. | ||
| Courageous Ukrainians are fighting for us all. | ||
| Right there. | ||
| Courageous. | ||
| The Party of Davos paper. | ||
| Courageous Ukrainians. | ||
| Look at Krista. | ||
| Krista. | ||
| The one who was going to throw guys in jail, got the two founders up there in jail, took away the civil liberties of the greatest people up in Canada, the truckers? | ||
| Her. | ||
| Not Castro Trudeau. | ||
| He's the spokesmodel. | ||
| She's the hammer. | ||
| She's the hammer. | ||
| Look at that headline. | ||
| Courageous Ukrainians are fighting for us all. | ||
| This is the party of Davos. | ||
| Remember, she's a World Economic Forum junior leader. | ||
| She and Dan Crenshaw and people like that, right? | ||
| Of course, Klaus Schwab is bragging. | ||
| Putin and Merkel were two of them, too. | ||
| They were junior leaders at the World Economic Forum, the party of Davos, Davos, Switzerland. | ||
| How many refugees is Davos? | ||
| How many refugees is Switzerland taking? | ||
| How much cash is Switzerland putting into the deal here? | ||
| What are people putting in? | ||
| All the countries of the world? | ||
| You know, the German guy now is saying, oh yeah, we got to send arms 2%. | ||
| I had a quite blistering discussion when Merkel came over with her National Security Advisor, I think the Minister of Defense. | ||
| He said, look, bro, your entire defense budget Is not what our supplement is. | ||
| You're deadbeats. | ||
| Deadbeats. | ||
| And you're going to pay a price for this, because the Russians know you're not serious, and the Chinese, you've got your middle companies and the thing, you've made all these deals with the Chinese, and they're going to be stealing all your technology. | ||
| So, a couple of years later, people said, this guy's so amazing, he's turned everything around. | ||
| They were warned about this years ago. | ||
| All the political class in Europe are all deadbeats. | ||
| The reason that Ukrainian people have been left Abandoned to their fate is that these are all gutless cowards running these operations from NATO to Brussels to Davos? | ||
| They're sitting there watching on TV. | ||
| Everybody's got a crackling fireplace, and they've got the books, and they've got ancient Rome and Greece, and they're learned men and women. | ||
| They're learned men and women from the finest universities in the world and the greatest think tanks. | ||
| They're all sitting there having a cappuccino and opining to, yeah, you know, maybe we can't do a no-fly zone, or maybe we should buy oil, or maybe we should do this, or maybe we should do this. | ||
| Or Krista Freeland, she's saying, courageous Ukrainians are fighting for us all. | ||
| Do you think the women and children down in Mariposa right now think that? | ||
| Do you think they're fighting for you? | ||
| They do not, Freeland. | ||
| They're trying to survive. | ||
| It is like World War II. | ||
| If he's in black and white, you think you're in World War II. | ||
| And they're getting pounded. | ||
| And they're going to continue to get pounded. | ||
| Because they were led down the primrose path of a bunch of gutless cowards that do nothing but steal as much money as they can. | ||
| And you can't make this up, this is not a parody. | ||
| Clinton, the biggest mafia thieves ever, Who have never had real jobs in the real world, but all these government jobs from Arkansas to Washington, D.C., now on the global stage. | ||
| The Clinton Global Initiative and the foundations back there so they can steal with two hands. | ||
| They just announced they put out a commercial. | ||
| I'm sitting there. | ||
| I thought it was a parody. | ||
| I thought it was a meme. | ||
| It's actually real. | ||
| They actually want to do this. | ||
| Because they know they got the opportunity to steal with both hands. | ||
| So in the fog of war, How do you see through this? | ||
| We see through this. | ||
| Somebody's got to come to the American people and tell the American people what is the vital national security interest of the United States. | ||
| Since we've gone to economic war already, as Ian Bremmer and Adam Tooze tells us, by trying to take down the Central Bank. | ||
| Here's what they're doing. | ||
| They're taking down the Central Bank of Russia and destroying the currency because they want regime change. | ||
| That's worked out so well for us in Libya, in Iraq, in Afghanistan. | ||
| I can go on and on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Regime change always works for us. | ||
| Always turns out right. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because the elites have no skin in the game. | ||
| It's your sons and daughters, and it's your money. | ||
| They're now saying, we're going to get $10 billion here for Ukraine, we're going to get $15 billion for Ukraine, we've got to do this, we've got to do that. | ||
| They're going to come next week with another increase. | ||
| Lindsey Graham said we've got to increase the defense budget. | ||
| It's almost a trillion dollars now. | ||
| We have an annual deficit of a trillion and a half dollars. | ||
| That's all you. | ||
| That ain't them. | ||
| They have socialism for the very wealthy in a brutal form of state capitalism for you. | ||
| You're paying for all this. | ||
| Your sons and daughters, and trust me, they're going to get to your sons and daughters. | ||
| We're the elites. | ||
| We're all these movie stars and all these media people. | ||
| Krista Freeland, don't give me courageous Ukrainians to fight for us all. | ||
| Get your ass on a plane and get over there and grab an AK-47 and get in the fight. | ||
| Show them that you fight for them. | ||
| You make me sick to my stomach. | ||
| You crack down on everybody in Canada, people fighting for freedom, and you're sitting there, oh, yeah, talk them into killing themselves more as the Russians come in and crush and crush and crush and encircle Kiev. | ||
| Zelensky's telling you, not Steve Bannon. | ||
| He's calling you out. | ||
| You know what he just said, Freeland? | ||
| You're gutless. | ||
| You're self-hypnotized. | ||
| You're gutless. | ||
| Get your AK-47 and get into the fight. | ||
| Don't give me some op-ed in the Financial Times of London. | ||
| Courageous Ukrainians are fighting for us all. | ||
| They're fighting for survival to live another day. | ||
| You're sitting there pontificating as you put the truckers in jail. | ||
| That's why, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and the kings are the truckers. | ||
| They're the ones, and yes, the MSNBC is always trying to change the narrative, well, you know, all the mandates are gone. | ||
| It was because all the science changed overnight. | ||
| No, it's because they're afraid of the truckers. | ||
| They're afraid of you. | ||
| You've struck fear in the heart of them, because they're gutless. | ||
| Prager said it the other day, the one thing that combines the left is they fear. | ||
| They fear everything. | ||
| Everything's fear. | ||
| Total, complete fear because they're gutless. | ||
| And their gutlessness is now on TV 24 hours a day as the people in Ukraine get sacrificed to their gutlessness. | ||
| Don't ask me, go ask the people in Ukraine. | ||
| You make commitments to us. | ||
| You make guarantees to us. | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| And Jane Harman pontificates, and Ian Bremmer pontificates. | ||
| You got them all pontificating in front of their fireplaces with Thucydides and Plutarch, and they're learned people. | ||
| They're learned people from the best universities in the world and from the best think tanks. | ||
| And these people, Richard Haass and all, they're going to pontificate on Morning Mika. | ||
| And they're going to pontificate. | ||
| Yes, you know, this is really geopolitical. | ||
| Hey, it don't feel geopolitical in Kiev right now. | ||
| It doesn't feel geopolitical in the south of Ukraine right now as they get killed because you committed to them. | ||
| You committed, you were going to be there for them. | ||
| And you're not. | ||
| But hold it. | ||
| The cavalry's on its way because Kamala Harris and Tony Blinken are going to Poland and to Europe. | ||
| Do you think that may, if you're a Maripol right now taking incoming, do you think that makes you feel good? | ||
| Do you think that makes you, I can live another day, I can fight another day. | ||
| And they're going it on, go get weapons. | ||
| Krista Friedland, don't give me an op-ed of courageous Hungarians fighting for us all, or fighting for us all. | ||
| Get your ass on a plane and get a gun and get over there. | ||
| And by the way, on the way out, why don't you let the people that organized the trucker, why don't you let them out of jail? | ||
| You're the problem, ma'am. | ||
| You're the problem in everything you represent in the rot and decay in this system. | ||
| And it stinks to high heaven. | ||
| Let's go to the truckers. | ||
| Let's go to... I backed up a little bit because I went on a rant. | ||
| But you know... | ||
| It's so obvious what's going on here, and the lies and the misrepresentation, and, let me be blunt, the stupid TV, and I don't need to name names, but you've got channels that are stupid TV, that are just pointing out talking points and ridiculousness, 24 hours a day, stupid TV. | ||
| Let's go to Ben Berquand. | ||
| Ben's out with the truckers in Hagerstown, Maryland. | ||
| Ben, put us at the fairgrounds there. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| It's an amazing day, Steve. | ||
| We've got thousands of people. | ||
| We got in yesterday. | ||
| We drove in from Ohio, came across, and you would not have believed the scene as we came into this city. | ||
| Thousands of people lining the streets as we came in. | ||
| Every overpass we passed was hundreds of people, and as we got here, it's just, it's been pandemonium. | ||
| More and more people coming out. | ||
| We've got truckers. | ||
| I got my friend Stan here from Texas that drove out. | ||
| We've got folks from all over the country. | ||
| We've got kids. | ||
| It's really, it's an America-fest. | ||
| And, you know, the left is freaking out. | ||
| They're saying, oh, these violent truckers, what are they coming out here to do in Washington, D.C.? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Freedom! | |
| Freedom, Steve! | ||
| Freedom! | ||
| It's about freedom. | ||
| It's about freedom, Steve. | ||
| Ben, ask the folks, since the fear of the truckers and the convoy got them to take off all the mandates, what's the objective now? | ||
| Is it accountability? | ||
| Because MSNBC's reporting it's all QAnon and they've got all these theories about Ukraine, but what's their focus now that they're in Hagerstown that was 70 or 80 miles long? | ||
| Since the mandates, they've run away from the mandates because the science changed. | ||
| And the science changed when the convoy got to be 10 miles long. | ||
| What now do they want? | ||
| Do they want the emergency order lifted? | ||
| Do they want accountability? | ||
| Ask one of the truckers. | ||
| Ask the folks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I'm going to talk to Stan about that right now. | ||
| But I spoke to Mike Faddis, who's one of the main organizers. | ||
| He'll be with us in just a few minutes. | ||
| And I asked him that question now that the mandates are lifted and they're saying, well, they don't even have the mandates or the vaccine mandates here. | ||
| But he said, if you're a trucker that goes in between Canada and the U.S., you still have those mandates. | ||
| But it's not even about the mandates per se. | ||
| They're happy that the mask mandates are going away. | ||
| They should have never been there. | ||
| But the purpose of this rally and the continuation of this fight is to demand that it never happens again and that the people that pass these tyrannical, unconstitutional laws are held accountable. | ||
| Stan, do you want to add anything to that, sir? | ||
| As a trucker, what is the purpose? | ||
| Now we're saying, you know, the mainstream media is coming out saying, well, what are you guys even doing out there anymore that you don't have the mask mandates? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Have you been happy the last year? | |
| I mean, the things that have happened in this country in the last year, they just want to go back to the way it was before the COVID stuff. | ||
| Personally, me, I'd like to go back before 9-11, the Patriot Act, things like that. | ||
| It's just very, very tyrannical type stuff. | ||
| It's just, it's overreach, government overreach. | ||
| And that's what we're all about is, sure, the mask thing and the shots and all this, Trying to think of the right word, but they're the easy thing to talk about, but it's all the other things behind the scene. | ||
| Mainly just government overreach. | ||
| They just, they keep taking, they said freedom, freedom. | ||
| We have freedom. | ||
| They're trying to take it away and we're going to stop them. | ||
| We're not going to let them take it. | ||
| We're going to take our freedom back to where it was before, you know? | ||
| Lift the Emergency Act! | ||
| Lift the Emergency Act, Steve! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Anyone else? | ||
| Freedom! | ||
| Freedom! | ||
| But this is basically, Steve, it's getting America back to America. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| I'm going to take a short commercial break, Ben. | ||
| We're going to come right back to you. | ||
| I want to talk about the emergency act of what these guys want to do to lift it. | ||
| Ben Burquham's out with the truckers, the People's Convoy. | ||
| It came in at like 80 miles long. | ||
| Totally unbelievable. | ||
| American patriots and heroes out in Hagerstown, Maryland, in the outer suburbs. | ||
| The near abroad, as we call it, to Washington, D.C., the imperial capital. | ||
|

|
We'll be back in the War Room in a moment. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, before we go back out to the truckers, Reuters is reporting from London, just broke, and I want to read from the Reuters report. | ||
| President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Western sanctions on Russia were akin to a declaration of war and warned that any attempt to impose a no-fly zone in Ukraine will be tantamount to entering the conflict. | ||
| There's much more there, but the sanctions are the economic war part of this, as we have talked about here ad nauseum. | ||
| That, and Adam Toe said, what we've done is declared war on the state authority of Russia. | ||
| Hey, that's fine and good as long as somebody comes to the American people and makes that case to the American people. | ||
| Now, this War Powers Act, he hasn't even kicked in the War Powers Act. | ||
| There are things going on here that they're committing you, they're committing you, your family, your sons, your daughters, this nation. | ||
| And they're not being straight about exactly what's going on and what measures they are taking. | ||
| And I'm telling you, we need to have this immediately this weekend. | ||
| And for these irresponsible people like Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence and this loose talk about champions of liberty, And Lindsey Graham talking about, I need a Brutus, I need a Project Valkyrie, I need assassinations, or I need international criminal courts. | ||
| It's all loose talk. | ||
| We're playing with fire, with very tough people, very dangerous people, very evil people. | ||
| We're playing with fire. | ||
| And right now, let me reiterate this. | ||
| We have abandoned the Ukrainian people, particularly the women and children, to their fate. | ||
| To their fate. | ||
| Their only getaway is to be a refugee in a foreign country. | ||
| To their fate. | ||
| So when you see these guys on TV with the crackling fireplaces and all the books of the learned and they're all learned, the blood is on their hands too because they led them down the primrose path and didn't abandon them. | ||
| At the same time, trying to do regime change. | ||
| Putin is a tough, dangerous guy. | ||
| And remember, they're a superpower. | ||
| Leave the nuclear weapons aside. | ||
| They're a superpower when it comes to cyber. | ||
| They're an offensive superpower when it comes to cyber, and cyber is a whole different level of conflict. | ||
| Okay, I want to go back out to the fairground, the parade ground. | ||
| With Ben Berquam, Real America's Voice. | ||
| Ben, when people say freedom and they say they want the emergency order that Biden just signed a couple weeks ago off, what do they mean by that? | ||
| They've already gotten the address. | ||
| He's already dropped the mask mandates. | ||
| D.C.' 's all cratering before them. | ||
| Congress cratered before them. | ||
| You know, they're trying to say now, oh, it's the virus that magically went away overnight. | ||
| We know it's the truckers that did that. | ||
| That's a victory for the truckers. | ||
| But to get the emergency use order off, How do they want to do that? | ||
| Do they want to tell Biden, you've got to do it, or what are they going to do? | ||
| Yeah, no, that's it, Steve. | ||
| They want to get rid of the Emergency Act. | ||
| And this is, it also ties back to what we're seeing all around the globe. | ||
| The Chinese social score, that's one of the big concerns here. | ||
| It's just the direction towards tyranny, giving total government control to Washington, D.C. | ||
| That's the big concern. | ||
| And that's part of the demand. | ||
| They're saying they're not leaving until these things turn back around, until they're guaranteed that this never happens again in America. | ||
| And I want to bring Sam Faddis into the conversation. | ||
| Sam, as a former CIA analyst and what you've seen here, What do you make of that, and the direction we're heading, and what you're hearing about the Emergency Act? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well look, all of America is here, Steve. | |
| There might be 50,000 people in this convoy already, and they're saying we're not going to have a Chinese social credit system in the United States. | ||
| This is not a one-off thing. | ||
| We want our democracy back. | ||
| We are not amused. | ||
| We are fed up. | ||
| We're not asking. | ||
| We're telling you. | ||
| That's the message, Steve. | ||
| We're not asking anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're telling. | |
| Fabulous. | ||
| I tell you, tell the team out there we're going to get back to the second hour. | ||
| We've got the great Sam Faddis, the CIA officer. | ||
| We've got Ben Berkron, Real America's Voice. | ||
| There's a lot of people. | ||
| Claire Dooley. | ||
| Tell the crowd out there we'll be back to them in the second hour. | ||
| Really appreciate it, Ben. | ||
| We'll do, guys. | ||
| Patriots and heroes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll do. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| They're looking forward to it. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| I want to go now. | ||
| I've got a connection. | ||
| I've got Dr. Malone and Naomi Wolf. | ||
| There's a lot happening on this front, which is one of the things that's driving the truckers. | ||
| I've got to ask you. | ||
| Naomi is about this whole thing about now social credit scores about the tyranny. | ||
| You warned us about it two years ago, right? | ||
| And now you see what the truckers are doing. | ||
| Give us your perspective on this. | ||
| So what we've got now wonderfully is a multi-front offensive against the people who tried to run a multi-front offensive against the human species. | ||
| So I see the truckers as powerfully demonstrating That it takes mass non-compliance to stop tyranny. | ||
| And as Edward Dowd said to me in a kind of mind-blowing interview I did with him a couple of nights ago, and you guys should get credit for breaking that story, as well as him getting credit. | ||
| He said, the people gaming this out didn't anticipate the truckers. | ||
| They didn't anticipate people like him. | ||
| They didn't anticipate people like you and your followers, people like me. | ||
| And the fact that we would organize. | ||
| So to me, the truckers are demonstrating that there is an army, and I say this super peacefully, and to their credit, they've been incredibly disciplined, incredibly peaceful. | ||
| But that there is an army, that there are more of us than of them, and that there are repercussions. | ||
| Now, I want to flip this over to, you know, why it's a multi-pronged front. | ||
| Not to claim credit, but James Ostrowski and you guys, Also rolled out simultaneously what's turning out to be a very powerful weapon, which is this template that lets citizens bring civil charges against individual governors, individual school board supervisors, individual Board of Health members. | ||
| This has been taken off like wildfire. | ||
| Children's Health Defense is sharing the template. | ||
| Leslie Mnookin's Health Freedom Defense Fund is sharing the template. | ||
| It's gone viral on Facebook. | ||
| And so what you're getting now are, you know, this sudden dropping of of the criminal activities against us, people backing away. | ||
| And I think it's because they know that there's massive corruption that's going to be revealed if any of them are forced to open the books in in civil court. | ||
| And the last thing I want to say, which is related, which is that the blaze this morning Showed the results of the Freedom of Information Act demand of the Biden administration that showed that a billion dollars, and I'm going to say it again, a billion dollars of your tax money went from the Biden administration to bribe all the major news outlets that you read telling you to get vaccinated, Washington Post, CBS, and so on and so on. | ||
| So it's falling apart. | ||
| Let's take a short commercial break. | ||
| We've got Dr. Malone. | ||
| We have Dr. Naomi Wolf. | ||
| We're going to get into this in more detail of what's really driving the truckers. |
