| And I'm out. | ||
| And to your point, Gary, and I agree with you, by the way, it is impossible not to cry on a daily basis, whether it's this situation or other gruesome situations of displacement and attacks on people that we've seen in the last few years. | ||
| But to your point, the things that America and NATO are doing to avoid provoking Vladimir Putin more, they've already responded by saying that's a provocation. | ||
| If we see convoys of military material coming in, we will treat that as an act of war and they will be seen as legitimate targets. | ||
| So what exactly are we dodging by not confronting Russia directly? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly, that's the right question, because Putin doesn't need reasons to escalate if he wants, and he will escalate. | |
| Trying to avoid this confrontation, it's just sending Putin a message of weakness. | ||
| Never in history has a dictator been stopped by appeasement and weakness. | ||
| It's only strength. | ||
| And also, we have to forget about Putin for a moment and thinking about generals and admirals that will have to carry his criminal orders to escalate and attack NATO. | ||
| I think that if NATO shows strength, many of them will dodge their responsibilities to follow Putin's orders because they know that confrontation with NATO means that they will be met by the superior firepower and they will probably pay an instant price immediately. | ||
| So, again, it's recognizing the simple fact. | ||
| We are at war with Vladimir Putin. | ||
| We use other means, economic, financial, technological. | ||
| It's a blockade of Russia, diplomatic isolation. | ||
| But it's just a matter of time before Putin decides that he can now actually take on NATO. | ||
| And right now, we can do more supporting brave Ukrainians who are not just resisting, but just, you know, a paralyzed Russian army. | ||
| But with so many civilians around, so I think this horror will continue. | ||
| And it's damaging for the image of democracy. | ||
| We are watching, you know, just from the front row, the most powerful military alliance in history is watching the massacre and the crimes that Europe has not seen since World War II. | ||
| The idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand, and don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War III. | ||
| You wonder if looking backward many years from right now, historians will notice the remarkable coincidence in timing. | ||
| Have you noticed? | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| At exactly the moment when the emergency powers they awarded to themselves to fight COVID started to wane, our leaders began pushing for conflict with Russia. | ||
| And then on the basis of that conflict, they assumed historic war powers. | ||
|

|
Yeah, it's... | |
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Get back! Get back! | ||
| Get back! | ||
| Get back! | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Oh shit! | ||
| Oh my God! | ||

| It's Saturday, 12 March, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| Today, the Daily Mail, largest paper in the world, states that Kiev is going to become the new Stalingrad. | ||
| We're going to get into all of that. | ||
| You saw overnight, intense, the great Tucker Carlson laying out the case. | ||
| You've seen what's happened, Ali Velshi, In, I think, Hungary, as this war starts to ratchet up even more intensely. | ||
| The Drudge headline, we didn't get a chance to put Drudge in there. | ||
| The Drudge headline was Israel to Zelensky surrender, about the off-ramp that we've been talking about. | ||
| OK, we've got a packed show today. | ||
| The second hour of the show we're going to talk about the second front of this war that is actually to the United States of America a hundred times, maybe a thousand times more important, and that is the Chinese Communist Party in Taiwan and what is going to happen there. | ||
| So we've got Frank Gaffney and a whole team of experts to that. | ||
| We're going to get into this first. | ||
| We're also going to go to Denver about the Tina Peter situation. | ||
| We've got a lot going on here today, but I want to bring I've got Steve Cortez, Ben Harnwell, Ben. | ||
| And by the way, the opening music is obviously the Gates of Kiev by Murzowski from 1874, about the symbolic painting of, I guess, almost the mythical Gates of Kiev. | ||
| But this is getting to be, when officials in the Ukrainian government say that Kiev is going to become Stalingrad. | ||
| That has deep resonance with people in the area, both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and obviously people in the West that have studied history. | ||
| When you say Stalingrad, you mean a final stand of where civilian lives are just the army stand, you don't retreat an inch, and civilians end up paying a horrific price, and I think that's what we're getting to now, is that what is exactly going on, and what is the way out of here? | ||
| How do you actually de-escalate? | ||
| Not with drudge, Good morning, Steve. | ||
| Well, the news seems to be changing really on an hourly basis. | ||
| surrender. Nobody's talking about surrendering. I want to bring in Ben Harnwell. Ben, walk us through it from Europe. You're in Rome. Walk us through what's the latest on this. Any negotiations, the involvement of the Israelis, all that. Morning, Steve. Well, the news seems to be changing, really, on an hourly basis. We were speaking last night about how pressure was apparently | ||
| applied by the Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett, on Zelensky to accept Putin's terms. | ||
| And now the news coming out, which has been apparently confirmed by both sides, by the Ukrainian and the Israeli side, is that Naftali Bennett hasn't been applying and certainly hasn't been advising Zelensky to surrender. | ||
| But to simply consider the terms that the Russian president has offered. | ||
| So there are obviously things going on there in the background. | ||
| OK, hang on for one second. | ||
| I want to bring in Steve Cortez. | ||
| Do we have Steve? | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| Steve, tell me about the... walk me through your view of the cold open. | ||
| We try to have everything in there, all the carnage, the bit in the ass. | ||
| And Biden at the end of it saying, hey, we're not going to send troops in there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You know, I'm glad that you played that Ukrainian propaganda, that deepfake video showing Paris itself being attacked. | ||
| Because look, there is despicable propaganda coming out of Russia, and we're very accustomed to that. | ||
| But there is also now really insulting propaganda coming out of Ukraine as well. | ||
| And we have to realize that. | ||
| That's what I keep trying to warn Americans about, is that we are being lied to by all sides. | ||
| We're being lied to by the Russians, by the Ukrainians, and certainly, most importantly for us, By the American media as well. | ||
| But there was a quote at the end of that video that you played. | ||
| And again, I'm so glad you played it because it's shocking, it's appalling, and I think that the American people need to see that. | ||
| Zelensky is spreading a grand lie that the entirety of the West is somehow at risk because of what's going on in his country. | ||
| His exact quote that he put on the screen was, if we fall, you fall. | ||
| Well, that is simply untrue. | ||
| Right now, in Ukraine, Putin has shown that he is unable, or perhaps unwilling, to even occupy all of Ukraine. | ||
| He literally can't pull that off, okay? | ||
| He's not even attempted so far to take Central or Western Ukraine, and I think any rational Russian knows that that would be disastrous. | ||
| It would be a bloodbath. | ||
| for Russia. They are not militarily or economically capable of even occupying Ukraine, much less going on the march to Paris. So this is a ridiculous canard. | ||
| It's shameful propaganda and the West, in particular the United States, American citizens should not fall for it. | ||
| We do not have a vital interest at stake in this fight. | ||
| I have yet to see any serious person, whether it's Joe Biden, and not that he's serious, but whether it's Biden or somebody else who wants American escalation to make the case Make a sensible, dispassionate case to the American people why this is in America's national interest. | ||
| Look, George W. Bush, when he went to war, and I think those were terrible wars that we engaged in in Iraq and elsewhere for that matter, but at least he had the decency to send Colin Powell to the United Nations and make a very serious presentation. | ||
| Now again, I think they were totally wrong Okay. | ||
| on their merits, but they had enough respect and decency for American citizens to say, here's why it is worth it for us. | ||
| Here's why it's worth it for us to risk your sons and daughters, not to mention immeasurable amounts of American capital and treasure. | ||
| Here's why we are making this case. | ||
| There is zero of that right now from the Davos crowd, none of it from the Biden regime. | ||
| Instead, we just get this ludicrous propaganda. | ||
| I wanna make sure people understand, we pulled that clip from, and there's another clip about inflation. | ||
| Cameron, we might want to play later with with Cortez. | ||
| Just hang on. | ||
| I played that clip or we played pulled that clip of Biden talking to the Democratic Party fundraisers, I think two nights ago. | ||
| He says, I'm not going to send American boys. | ||
| I'm not going to send pilots. | ||
| He never mentioned the fact that we are at offensive economic war. | ||
| Remember, in today's sophisticated, the 21st century, you have what we call hybrid or unrestricted warfare that has a information part of it. | ||
| And they had the TikTok kids in the White House yesterday being briefed by the National Security Council. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| TikTok influencers. | ||
| And you saw the deep fake there. | ||
| That's what's coming out now. | ||
| It's part of the information war. | ||
| We have the cyber war that really hasn't been engaged yet, at least as far as we know, the massive cyber war. | ||
| You then have economic warfare. | ||
| We are at Defcon 1 on offensive economic warfare. | ||
| We're at DEFCON 1, DEFCON 1 on offensive economic warfare, Steve Cortes. | ||
| Steve, the American people need to know this. | ||
| You're exactly right. | ||
| This is 2022, okay? | ||
| This is not 1919. | ||
| It's not just a matter of digging trenches and boots on the ground. | ||
| Now, I fear we may end up there because of what we're doing regarding economic war. | ||
| But in 2022, there are many facets of war, and we are fully at war with Russia right now. | ||
| And I would argue, by the way, Not so much with Putin or with the oligarchs, but with 150 million Russian people. | ||
| Because what we are doing to the ruble in a concerted and dedicated way, we are actively trying to literally collapse a country's currency. | ||
| And so far, it is working. | ||
| The ruble is collapsing. | ||
| So regular, everyday Russians, Many of whom may not even support this war, but regular everyday Russians are suffering because their buying power is diminishing literally by the hour right now in Russia. | ||
| This is something that is unprecedented. | ||
| We have never gone to this kind of currency war in all of American history. | ||
| Even in World War II, these measures were not used against the Nazis as evil as that atrocious regime was. | ||
| So it's an unprecedented action. | ||
| It's A massive escalation. | ||
| And when you escalate this... Here's the thing, Steve. | ||
| When you escalate... History teaches us this. | ||
| When you escalate, you cannot always control the level of escalation, right? | ||
| We are literally playing with fire right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is playing with fire, okay? | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're gonna return. | ||
| We got Ben Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| We got Steve Cortez, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Lieutenant, you're in the war room. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| you We're here on day 17 of the kinetic war and it's only picking up velocity and that's because rational people are now stepping in here and saying exactly what's going on. | ||
| What's the bid and what's the ask? | ||
| And how do we de-escalate this? | ||
| Because the people, the slaughter pen, the people are dying, are these innocent women and children. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| An update from the Associated Press. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, what's the latest from the Associated Press's reporting, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, the news now is that, and this is according to the Ukrainian military, and that the Russian forces have captured the eastern outskirts of the besieged city of Mariupol, which They've been tightening that siege for over the last week with no electricity, gas or water there. | ||
| And now the eastern outskirts have fallen to the Russians. | ||
| So it's basically, I think, today, tomorrow at the very latest, that the whole city will be under Russian control. | ||
| Ben, before I let you go, any updates at all? | ||
| Any word from these foreign capitals? | ||
| The pushing of the EU by Macron was stopped, I think, by some rational people in the EU. | ||
| But is there any discussion? | ||
| They've backed off Bennett in Israel. | ||
| We don't know what Turkey and Erdogan are doing. | ||
| Is there any update on anything about a peace conference or de-escalation or a ceasefire that's meaningful? | ||
| Not just corridors to let civilians out and there's all this controversy or they're shelling the civilians when they leave. | ||
| Any word whatsoever you're hearing from anywhere about any movement on what is the most important thing? | ||
| Zelensky, Putin, sit down with a meaningful discussion about how this thing gets de-escalated. | ||
| Steve, the big news really yesterday, and it still hasn't been covered, I think, by any news organization beyond the War Room, and given the importance that it deserves, is that yesterday at Versailles, the European Union said no, clearly and decisively, to the Ukrainians' request to basically fast-track an emergency entrance into the European Union. | ||
| And that's basically a very clear signal now To Zelensky, but also to the rest of the world, that there's going to be no material support that can change the direction of this war that will come from the European Union. | ||
| And that basically puts Zelensky into a position where he needs to make a rational calculation that the likely outcome of this war and how many more of his citizens need to be killed before that that that outcome is reached because it, you know, they can go on fighting for a year, two years and get and get and get the country will be leveled. But to what effect? Because the material | ||
| gains that Russia has that are a part of its negotiations, which is Crimea and the two breakaways in the Donetsk. | ||
| That's not going to change. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's all to be played out, because now, as we said last time in the evening broadcast with Matthew Tirmond, he's actually moving west. | ||
| He's an hour outside. | ||
| They're moving the logistic chain out to western Ukraine, which is the historically Polish Austria-Hungary not really Russian or any association with Russia Except after the when the Soviets took over but they're out there is another chess piece So and now they're getting ready for a siege of Odessa. | ||
| So it's it's it's continuing My point is that this is this is relentless and right now the West is and this is why Zelensky's coming back and saying hey you guys committed to us you promised us and where is it and Okay, Ben Harnwell, fantastic, I'll let you go back to work. | ||
| Ben, on Getter, because on Getter, and we're live on Getter today, I want to thank everybody at Getter, the team at Getter, Jason Miller and the great team working over there, love you guys. | ||
| How do you, and here's what Getter's become, with Pasovic, and Harnwell, and War Room, and in my account is Steve Cortez. | ||
| You can get it on Twitter, but a lot of the stuff's blocked or hard to get to or pushed down. | ||
| On Getter, you're getting real-time. | ||
| There's about a half a dozen to a dozen folks. | ||
| If you follow them on Getter, you're getting real-time. | ||
| It's better than the Associated Press. | ||
| I mean, you're getting actually up-to-date, not just news, but also analysis. | ||
| So, how did they get you on Getter, Ben Harnwell? | ||
| Steve, ten seconds and I close my final point based on what you were just saying. | ||
| The more this war goes on, I mean, at the moment there are four principal conditions that Russia have imposed for their side of the ceasefire. | ||
| The more the Russians move westward, the more we can expect, perhaps naturally, that additional conditions will be added to that. | ||
| And that has to also be part of Zelensky's calculation. So my profile on Getter is at Hanwell, which is my surname, at Hanwell. | ||
| And I have to say, yesterday afternoon when I was following and participating in the live chat on Rumble after I hit There was some doubt as to whether it was really me that was contributing or someone else under my profile. | ||
| So they gave me the test. | ||
| They said I have to mention the FJB currency when I do my socials and then they're going to believe it's really me. | ||
| I'm just going to say FJB. | ||
| I'm not spelling it out because everyone knows what it is. | ||
| But Steve, by the way, the live chat, both on Rumble and Getter, is absolutely phenomenal. | ||
| The guys on Rumble, they're slightly more hardcore, but it's absolutely fine. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Okay, so hold it. | ||
| You have a Telegram channel, you have Rumble, you have Getter, you have Real America's Voice, you've got many. | ||
| Pick them. | ||
| There's other things pop up all the time. | ||
| We just wanted to be ubiquitous. | ||
| And go test it out. | ||
| Every live chat has kind of its own house style, right? | ||
| Some are a little more hardcore, some have a few more trolls in them, but that's all part of it. | ||
| But we love the live chats, and that's why we always say we try to put all the information out there during the show. | ||
| Before you go, look, we're the reality party. | ||
| We believe in reality and the fog of war. | ||
| That's why the war room is the only still place in a turning world you've got, is this thing spins out of control. | ||
| One of the things we're very proud about is actually focusing on the Chinese Communist Party, what's in back of this, this great conflict now to consolidate the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| The international rules-based order are betters in Davos and in Washington DC and in Wall Street and in Brussels and all that. | ||
| And what their motives are and what are they trying to do? | ||
| As the slaughter pen of the Ukraine, it's the innocent women and children that are being slaughtered and it's no doubt. | ||
| Putin and his KGB guys around him and the military's got around him. | ||
| These are, as Steve Cortez would say, bad hombres, okay? | ||
| It's no doubt about that. | ||
| These are tough Relentless guys. | ||
| But you've got to understand, information war is being propagandized. | ||
| That's where we play the gates of Kiev. | ||
| It's someone in the Ukrainian side, the Ukrainian government that is referring to Kiev, the siege that's going on, as Stalingrad. | ||
| And that is so, that resonates so deeply. | ||
| In that area of the world, the bloodlands, that resonates. | ||
| The Stalingrad is symbolic, and I would say it's probably of all the massive battles of World War II. | ||
| Not just the central battle, but symbolically, probably the most important battle of World War II, to break the German army. | ||
| But I was at Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, and this was just sent to me by one of the people in the engine room, right, that said, you're missing one of the big ones, in the rubble of Kharkiv, survivors make their stand. | ||
| My point is this is relentless every day about this and is this to what outcome is this? | ||
| To what outcome? | ||
| There's no doubt about the heroism and the valor and the bravery. | ||
| We're not questioning that. | ||
| But to what outcome and to whose benefit? | ||
| Who benefits off of this? | ||
| And what's the reality? | ||
| That's why I think Steve Cortez brings up that what's called Was it news fake or this fake ability to actually make these videos? | ||
| Now they're showing Paris being bombed. | ||
| I think it's London being bombed. | ||
| And this is the day after the TikTok people, and I'm not drawing a direct line, but to have TikTok young influencers who, let's say, maybe are a little bit live their lives ahistorically, to have the National Security Council in the middle of all this, Take their time to bring those people into the White House and to brief them, and then to have them come out with the talking points of the White House is pretty extraordinary. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, once again, how do people get to you on Getter? | ||
| Because it is the Steve Cortez's, the Jack Posobiec's, the War Room, Ben Harnwell, and there's probably a half a dozen others I haven't mentioned, that if you follow those on Getter, | ||
| You can get a complete aspect of every aspect of what this, or Matthew, the great Matthew Tierman, I can't forget him because, and Matthew comes at it from a different perspective, and I understand some of the war room posse sometimes, but remember, Matthew is also Polish extraction, and he has lived over in Poland and knows that area of the world. | ||
| And today, the LA Times got a huge article about, hey, now Poland is on high alert, given the historical nature of that North German plane that goes through Poland. | ||
| That was all in the Cold War. | ||
| That was the whole defense was not not to the Ukraine. | ||
| It was coming through. | ||
| It was coming through Poland like World War One and World War Two. | ||
| So there's a lot going on here. | ||
| We try to present every aspect of this so that you can understand you're being spun every different way. | ||
| And I think some of the worst is Fox. | ||
| That's what we played the great Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| For Tucker Carlson right now. | ||
| I mean, he is such a breath of fresh air in what has turned into a neocon channel, just an outright neocon channel. | ||
| And just remember, folks, those of you that are old enough to remember, this is, I think, worse than the Iraq War, and Steve Kortes laid out why. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Even with the lies and misrepresentations, at least they had enough respect for you to come forward and try to present their lies and misrepresentations as a causa belli, as actually walking through weapons of mass destruction in the link to 9-11, right? | ||
| Here, there's not even doing it. | ||
| And I do want to, to Joe Biden, I do think Joe Biden did mention that they couldn't open up the, they couldn't open up the Russian stock exchange, it would crater. | ||
| I did think he said that in the speech. | ||
| So he mentioned it, but he doesn't, he didn't make the case for why we're at offensive economic war. | ||
| Harnwell, one more time, what's your getter handle? | ||
| It's at Harnwell, Steve, at Harnwell. | ||
| It's my surname. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Steve Cortez, I want to pivot in the next segment on something that's important. | ||
| It ties together because this is all indestructibly linked. | ||
| And we're going to be making the case next week to our hyper-local strategy is linked to this too. | ||
| What's going on in the world geopolitically. | ||
| But I want to pivot next in the next segment to exactly What a Biden administration selling now inflation is all caused by Putin in this war in Ukraine. | ||
| Steve Cortez is about to tell us reality next in the War Room. | ||

♪♪♪ | |
| Patriots, as I have long predicted, Joe Biden, Pelosi, and the complicit media, they're trying to explain away this inflation inferno which was sparked by the terrible policy failures of Joe Biden. | ||
| They're trying to blame it all, to pin the blame on Putin and the crisis in Ukraine. | ||
| Now, for an easy analysis of whether or not that is valid, all we need to do is look at inflation rates in the rest of Because if it were Putin-inspired, we would expect that inflation rates would be soaring, that the rest of the world would be in the same kind of inflationary quagmire that the United States is in. | ||
| And particularly so for Europe, because they're much more exposed to Russia than we are. | ||
| But the opposite is true. | ||
| America is unfortunately an outlier. | ||
| When we look at the G20 countries and compare to our inflation rate, which is now 7.9%, these are the only nations with worse inflation rates than the United States. | ||
| Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, and Russia itself. | ||
| This is not the economic company that we want to keep. | ||
| Now let's look at more peer apples-to-apples comparisons of advanced countries. | ||
| Our inflation rate is more than three times as bad as Switzerland's, more than twice as bad as France's, and 50% higher than Canada's. | ||
| This is American exceptionalism, but in the wrong way, and it's all Biden's fault. | ||
| OK, before for the audience, I want to get into because this is inextricably linked, obviously, with what's happening in the world as they try to push it off. | ||
| But Cortez, you caught. | ||
| This is very important, and I want Media Matters to suck on this. | ||
| Tell me about Rachel Maddow's. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Because they're trying to do it, and then we out them, they're running for the hills, okay? | ||
| Media Matters, everybody should understand, David Brock's Media Matters, and the great Madeline Peltz, the head of marketing for War Room, the marketing department for War Room. | ||
| Thank you, Madeline. | ||
| Massive Christmas bonus coming, baby. | ||
| They've become the warmonger party. | ||
| And let's talk about Rachel Maddow specifically. | ||
| Rachel Maddow all the time used to say, Ukraine's an ally, this an ally, this an ally. | ||
| No, Rachel, we called you out and you stopped doing it. | ||
| It's not an ally. | ||
| Ukraine is not an ally of the United States of America. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| What did Rachel Maddow tweet? | ||
| And you caught it and they took it down after we caught them? | ||
| So the official site for, and this is Maddow blog on Twitter, Their official account. | ||
| This is what they put up last night, and they did previously put up the clip. | ||
| They've apparently now removed it. | ||
| I think they realize how absurd it is. | ||
| A clip of former ambassador, current Stanford professor, McFaul. | ||
| And here's what, I'm quoting exactly. | ||
| One difference between Putin and Hitler is that Hitler didn't kill ethnic Germans. | ||
| Let me repeat that. | ||
| Hitler didn't kill ethnic Germans, German-speaking people. | ||
| Putin slaughters the very people he said he has come to liberate. | ||
| That is a quote From Maddow Blog, the official site of the show, they did have a video of McFaul making those points. | ||
| Now, first of all, the idea that Hitler didn't kill Germans and didn't kill German-speaking people, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's soul would like a moment right now with Ambassador McFaul to explain that he and hundreds of thousands of Germans died because of Hitler. | ||
| People like Bonhoeffer, people like Catholic priests, people like German Jews, of course. | ||
| How about all the German Jews? What are you talking about? | ||
| They didn't kill Germans. What about the... I mean, disabled Germans, Jewish Germans, those who resisted him from the clergy. I mean, this is... it's an almost... | ||
| Gay... gay... gay... gay... gay... | ||
| German Gypsies. | ||
| This is so irresponsible, Steve, but here's the thing. | ||
| This is coming from somebody who once exercised a lot of power in American government and who presently has supposedly incredible credentials. | ||
| He is a professor, a tenured professor, at probably the most elite university, arguably, in the entire world. | ||
| Stanford University. | ||
| He has the massive platform of the biggest show outside of Fox News in cable news. | ||
| Okay, this is a man who ostensibly has some hold on reality. | ||
| And we see in fact, the hyperbole, the propaganda to try to get the United States more directly involved in this war than we already are. | ||
| He's being lied to from every side, from the Russians, from the Ukrainians, and from the American ruling class, including this clown, McFaul, who unfortunately completely denigrated the memory of hundreds of thousands of Germans who were killed by their own leader in World War II. | ||
| It's also the meaning of what he's even trying to say. | ||
| But just back to McFaul. | ||
| And I do just the only thing I disagree in the entire rant was your thing about Stanford being the most elite. | ||
| But we'll take that up later. | ||
| I know. | ||
| McFaul, McFaul's, remember, McFaul's the ambassador from the United States to Moscow. | ||
| He's the Obama guy. | ||
| Trump's the cloven-hoofed devil. | ||
| Trump, to him, is worse than Putin. | ||
| Trump, to him, is worse than Putin. | ||
| And he's on MSNBC non-stop. | ||
| Now, the only thing he said that's made sense in the last couple of days, he said, hey, when Zelensky calls it a no-fly zone, he says, you might as well call that the start of the World War III zone. | ||
| So McCall's at least enough of a rationalist there, but he's been out of control. | ||
| Let's pivot. | ||
| To the point of them taking that clip down. | ||
| I mean, you know, the Internet's forever. | ||
| That clip's out there. | ||
| Okay, we're going to have it. | ||
| We're going to show it. | ||
| And they need to be held accountable for spreading those kind of just insulting, ahistorical lies. | ||
| Look, the deep fake at the end of our cult, magnificent cult open, I want to thank my producing team here and also the terrific team in Denver for putting that together. | ||
| Literally, bang, slamming that together before it launched. | ||
| That was a little, kind of a work of art. | ||
| And they get full credit for it. | ||
| But that deep fake at the end with the young girl about Paris. | ||
| What percentage of kids in American high schools wouldn't know that that was a fake? | ||
| Hello? | ||
| The White House, in the middle of a war, which they're saying could be World War III, has TikTok influencers to be briefed by the National Security Council. | ||
| Excuse me, Deplorables, were you briefed yesterday by the National Security Council? | ||
| Whereas the Republican senators that voted in the middle of the night, dead of night, for this atrocious thing, about the bill, the $14 billion, had the Republicans said, has Mitt Romney been to the White House and been briefed by the National Security Council? | ||
| Mitt Romney, up on his toes, wanting to put Migs in there, wants to put the Migs, gotta go to the Migs. | ||
| Mike Paves over there, Virtuous. | ||
| Yeah, regarding young peop this is fascinating. The influencers who are viewed regime, they are invited briefing at the same time gives a lengthy and reall very entertaining intervie brothers who are a real f If anybody out there has teenage children, you know, or junior high children or grandchildren, ask them about the Nelk Brothers, and they love them, right? | ||
| That video is taken down, was taken down from YouTube after 5 million views. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because I think YouTube saw how authentic and powerful and persuasive President Trump was in that interview. | ||
| But number two, at five million views and counting, it was going to start reaching Joe Rogan interview of Malone type numbers, if not even greater. | ||
| And they knew they had to take that down. | ||
| So at the same time, you have a disintermediation, you have a censorship of young media influencers only because they chose to interview President Trump. | ||
| And then you have a complete empowerment of influencers, which the regime believes, the Biden regime believes are going to be helpful to it in supporting its escalation of this war. | ||
| So that contrast, I think, is very telling about the current state of big tech, of media in America, of politics, frankly, in the media, and the fact that in many ways we live in an oligarchy and we have to smash that oligarchy. | ||
| It was evident just yesterday with those two related instances. | ||
| OK, the Fox News and the Gateway Pundit guys just sent me, as we're saying, they loved the opening of the show. | ||
| They said they have a story. | ||
| The lust for war. | ||
| Forty two GOP senators, including Mitch McConnell, calling Joe Biden to send MiGs to Ukraine to bomb Russians. | ||
| And it's got a clip from the from Fox and Friends today, the great Pete Hexith over there with these senators. | ||
| Forty two senators. | ||
| 42 Senators signed that. | ||
| GOP Senators. | ||
| 42 Republican Senators signed this to send the MiGs, right? | ||
| Which everybody knows would trigger our military involvement in a kinetic World War III, okay? | ||
| Just understand this. | ||
| For the security, where are those Senators about including in this bill one penny for building the wall in the South? | ||
| This is the problem, the dry rot. | ||
| But let me be specific about this. | ||
| Of those 42 Senators, I think, check it right now, can we check it? | ||
| I just sent it to the thing. | ||
| I don't believe Senator Haggerty of Tennessee signed that, and that is a very important tell. | ||
| I would respectfully submit, if you're interested in being President of the United States at some time, and you want to have MAGA in back of you, it would be very smart not to have signed that letter. | ||
| That letter is irresponsible. | ||
| This is irresponsible. | ||
| This is the little Marco Rubio and I hate to say the Tom Cotton. | ||
| These are people that want us to get drawn into a the great thinkers and strategists we had in World War Two that eventually led to war. | ||
| Remember 1939 in Poland all the way up to Pearl Harbor. | ||
| That was a slaughter pen. | ||
| They bombed Britain. | ||
| They had the Blitz. | ||
| They had the Battle of Britain. | ||
| They had the fall of France. | ||
| That's all in Western Europe. | ||
| But the slaughter pen, Hitler turned on the Russians in June of 1941, and that was a slaughter pen. | ||
| That's when they blew through the Ukraine, all the way going to Kursk and going to Stalingrad. | ||
| The siege of Leningrad, all of it, it was a slaughter pen. | ||
| And what did President Roosevelt run in 1940? | ||
| He said he promised and committed to the American people, under no circumstances would we enter into a war in that part of Eurasia, even for Western Europe. | ||
| But it was unthinkable to get involved in a military kinetic conflict, unthinkable for the architects of World War II. | ||
| Please remember this because they don't want to talk about it. | ||
| On December 7th when the Imperial Japan, Tojo and this guy's bombed Pearl Harbor and Manila and all that in the Pacific. | ||
| We did the next day Roosevelt and they discussed this in detail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They debated this internally in detail. | |
| He went and declared war on Japan because they basically attacked us and declared war on us. | ||
| They did not declare war on Nazi Germany. | ||
| Under no circumstances, still at that time, would we be drawn into a kinetic conflict in Europe. | ||
| We'd already done it in World War I. It was only when Adolf Hitler, two days later, because of his secret treaty with Japan, and he thought that we're going to win this thing. | ||
| I got Russia pinned back. | ||
| They're sweeping America out of the Pacific. | ||
| We can control the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| I think we got this. | ||
| He declared war on the United States of America. | ||
| And then as a fact, perfunctory, we declared war on him. | ||
| Remember, we are not to get into kinetic conflicts lightly. | ||
| Steve Cortes, let's go back to the inflation, because right now, and the great John Lott is talking to people too, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post is all sitting there, inflation, inflation, inflation is because of the war. | ||
| Everything is pre-war and post-war, it's all inflation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a bald-faced lie, Steve Cortes? | |
| It is a 100% lie, and this inflation that we're enduring in the United States is 100% due to Joe Biden. | ||
| That Chalk Talk, I give some of the evidence, I give more in a sub-stack article that I just put up on this exact topic. | ||
| Look, Steve, there's a couple of points here. | ||
| First of all, we already had a very significant inflation crisis before things got hot over in Ukraine. | ||
| We were already in a place of the 1970s economically. | ||
| What we're doing in terms of escalating this economic war is surely making that existing crisis even worse. | ||
| And I think we risk going from the 1970s, which is bad enough, into the 1930s. | ||
| I think that is a very real risk right now of not just sort of a standard vanilla recession, but instead a deep, deep recession, an historic one, and perhaps even a depression. | ||
| I do believe that the escalation, the unnecessary economic war escalation that Biden's engaging in brings those risks. | ||
| But for him to blame, principally, Or even mostly to blame Putin for this inflation just is completely contrary to the facts of the case. | ||
| One of the ways you can determine that is by looking at global inflation rates and look at how much worse American inflation is than peer countries, than other advanced Economies two to three times as bad those of Europe. | ||
| And if anything, European countries are much more exposed to Russia. | ||
| So if anything, if Putin were the genus, the real cause of inflation, they should be experiencing worse inflation than the United States. | ||
| In fact, their situation is far better. | ||
| But even look right next door to us at Canada. | ||
| Our inflation rate is 50% higher than Canada's. | ||
| Why? | ||
| because Biden and Pelosi and Schumer engaged on an absolute exorbitant orgy of borrowing and spending here at United States. | ||
|

|
Okay, short commercial break. | |
| We're in a tournament with Steve Cortez. | ||
| I think we're trying to get the Tina Peters crowd out in Colorado. | ||
| We've got a lot going on. | ||
| Second hour is all Taiwan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the war. | |
| But we're going to ask Cortez to stay around for part of that because we've got some very special things going on. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be back in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, let's go. | |
| I'm going to go get a drink. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's the gates of Kiev. | ||
| That's our music for today, as the Daily Mail has reported that the siege of Kiev has started. | ||
| We're going to go to Denver, because let's get to the heart of this. | ||
| Sharona Bishop in the situation with Tina Peters. | ||
| What's going on today, Sharona? | ||
| Yes, good morning. | ||
| Well, in Colorado, it's a big deal. | ||
| It's a big day. | ||
| We are choosing our delegates for county assembly. | ||
| You know, the Secretary of State runoff is going to be pretty intense here in Colorado. | ||
| And I wanted to just kind of give your listeners a list of all the things they have tried to do to Clerk Peters since this began, since her exposure of Dominion voting machines and doing her job as the Clerk and Recorder. | ||
| They've raided her office. | ||
| They've raided her home. | ||
| They spread out her dead son's effects. | ||
| They disregarded his memory. | ||
| They stopped her in a coffee shop, injuring her with force. | ||
| Then they very cruelly and unnecessarily, after the grand jury convened, slapped a $500,000 cash bond on her that required her to spend the night in a filthy, cold, isolated prison cell, a 61-year-old gold star mother whose only desire was to limit wait times in the clerk and recorder's office when she first ran. | ||
| So today's county assemblies are starting throughout the state of Colorado, and this is where we're choosing who we want to represent us in the Republican Party. | ||
| And it's been a real challenge lately because we feel so strongly that the GOP leadership has abandoned the people once again. | ||
| They can never stand up for what's right. | ||
| People like Tina Peters are so rare. | ||
| Not only being a gold star mother, raising up a Navy SEAL, she lives what she preaches. | ||
| And so we are so excited to be going there today to be advocating for her and having as many delegates as possible to represent her at the state assembly coming in Colorado on April 9th. | ||
| Sharona, how do people, by the way, this is, I want everybody to make sure you go to Precinct Strategy, The Great Dan Schultz. | ||
| Go there. | ||
| This is what it's all about. | ||
| If you want to stop the madness in the world, you got to stop it first at the local level. | ||
| This, we're taking this back village by village. | ||
| Sharona, how do people get to you? | ||
| How do they, how do they find out more about Tina today? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, please go to tinapetersforcolorado.com. | ||
| Make a hefty donation to her campaign. | ||
| She's running against a Zuckerberg-funded so-called Republican in the primary, and Soros-funded Jenna Griswold in the general. | ||
| So we appreciate all of your support with that. | ||
| I am on America's Mom. | ||
| You can find me on all social media platforms, including Getter and, of course, americasmom.net. | ||
| But I want to thank you guys so much for all your support, your prayers, your encouragement. | ||
| It's been a very challenging time, but I can tell you, Tina Peters, every time they push her, She is only getting stronger. | ||
| She's only getting tougher. | ||
| And we cannot wait to see her representing us as the Secretary of State for Colorado. | ||
| Sharona, Godspeed. | ||
| Fantastic work. | ||
| And then tell Tina when you see her today, we got her back 1000%. | ||
| Thank you so much, Mr. Bannon. | ||
| A gold star mother dragged into a jail cell and made to stay overnight. | ||
| Just remember, just remember, the folks out there, okay, color within the lines, but a day of reckoning is coming on November this year, okay? | ||
| We're tired of this nonsense. | ||
| And this is getting out of control. | ||
| I want to go back to, and I've asked Steve Cortes to at least stay through the A Block. | ||
| We've got the great Frank Gaffney. | ||
| We're going to be pivoting to what the real, the real conflict that we've got to worry about, okay? | ||
| That we could get sucked into a kinetic war. | ||
| Frank Gaffney's joining us here in the War Room, going to be here for the entire next hour. | ||
| Steve, pivot back. | ||
| Tell me, let's put your other charts up. | ||
| Let's get as much of the inflation stuff as we can done, so people understand what's actually going on. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it's so important, again, we cannot fall for this sleight of hand which is being attempted by Biden and Pelosi and a complicit media. | ||
| The inflation that we're enduring in this country, first of all, it totally predated what has happened in Ukraine. | ||
| In the last few weeks. | ||
| And secondly, it is 100% Biden's fault. | ||
| It's not Putin's fault. | ||
| It's not the business cycle. | ||
| It's none of that. | ||
| And the data prove it. | ||
| And again, I lay this all out in my article, but I want to show a couple of charts here. | ||
| And the first one is of CPI. | ||
| Let's just take a look at the Consumer Priced Index. | ||
| And this chart goes back for five years. | ||
| And it shows that inflation was incredibly tame, incredibly low, and very, very predictable during the entirety of the Trump presidency. | ||
| Once Biden illegitimately prevailed on November 3rd of 2020, as that chart clearly shows, we see it start to ascend and then absolutely vault higher to the point we're now almost at 8%, 7.9% by the official read, which I think vastly understates real inflation. | ||
| But even if we were to accept the government's measure of inflation, we're at 40-year highs. | ||
| And again, compared to the rest of the advanced world, we are by far The outlier. | ||
| This is American exceptionalism, but the wrong kind. | ||
| Not the kind that we in the nationalist movement like. | ||
| This is the wrong kind of exceptionalism. | ||
| We are completely the outlier. | ||
| Let me go to one more chart just to prove to people that the inflation we're enduring has nothing to do with Putin. | ||
| This is a chart of rental prices. | ||
| Apartment rents in America. | ||
| And this data comes from apartmentlist.com. | ||
| If you look at the last three years before 2021, If we look at 18, 19 and 2020, we see that the increase in rental prices, even with a soaring economy under President Trump in 2019, the increases were in the low single digits. | ||
| Rental prices only went up very slightly in 2018 and 2019, actually dipped a little bit in 2020 because of the lockdowns, not terribly surprisingly. | ||
| But then Joe Biden becomes President of the United States. | ||
| And what happened to apartment rents last year, as the chart shows, up 18%. | ||
| From low single-digit 2% and 3% increases traditionally, all the way to an 18% increase last year. | ||
| Now, Ukraine was not at war. | ||
| Putin has nothing to do with the apartment market and with the rental market. | ||
| In the United States, and yet, regular Americans, many of them people of modest means, because most people who rent instead of own are American strivers, are aspirational people, young people, people who are trying to start a family, trying to start businesses, people who cannot afford right now the exorbitant home prices that are out there in this country. | ||
| Those are the people who were terribly punished by Biden's inflation already with that data for 2021, and it's sure to only get worse right now in 2022. | ||
| I would also point out, Steve, that When you talk about rental inflation, that is incredibly sticky. | ||
| Meaning, when people sign leases, they don't sign a lease for a month. | ||
| They sign it for a year, for six months at the least. | ||
| Meaning that those prices, once they go up, they do not go back down. | ||
| This is regular, everyday Americans suffering. | ||
| From the from the misbegotten and exorbitantly profligate spend borrow and spend policies of Biden and Pelosi and Schumer. | ||
| Our inflation is their fault and their fault only. | ||
| We won't fall for this ruse that it should be blamed on a faraway dictator, Putin. | ||
| Okay, Steve Cortez is going to hang with us. | ||
| We're taking 90 second break. | ||
| I got the great Frank Gaffney's in the house. | ||
| We're about to pivot to A war that's been going on for a couple of years, okay? | ||
| At least a couple of years. | ||
| The war of the Chinese Communist Party against the American people. | ||
| Obviously their own people, the Lao Bajing, but the American people. | ||
| We've got a cast of all-stars in the next hour. | ||
| You want to talk about what's going to happen to your life, days, weeks, months, years ahead? | ||
| Stay tuned next in The War Room. |
