This is what you're fighting for. | ||
I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
This is just like in Georgia. | ||
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
All this nonsense, all this spin. | ||
They can't handle the truth. | ||

|
War Room, Battleground. | |
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Welcome. | ||
It is 8 July, Friday. | ||
Terrible, terrible situation overnight and today we opened the show this morning with a tribute and did something also at 5. | ||
And the reason is that Prime Minister Abe This is one of the reasons he was so close to President Trump. | ||
Remember, he was a very tough negotiator. | ||
Tomorrow, in fact, on the Deconstruction of the Administrative State special we have, Peter Navarro is going to join us, and one of the things we're going to have Peter talk about is about the Administrative State, particularly on the trade side, and he's going to give you some stories about negotiating with the Japanese, about how they were always very, very tough, as they should be. | ||
He's a true economic nationalist, and particularly on national defense, to really bring back Japan and ally itself with the United States in India to take down the central existential threat that we have, which is the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
We've got some breaking news out of Netherlands and I've got Michael Jan there but he's got Masako with him. | ||
We couldn't get a good connection today. | ||
Could you give us your thoughts? | ||
We want to hear what you had to say today because we're so garbled by a bad connection. | ||
Walk us through your thoughts on Prime Minister Abe and what's going on in Japan now given this brutal assassination. | ||
I should introduce Masako first and then let her explain. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
is a researcher and an author in Japan. | ||
I got to know her because I wrote three books on information war that are only in Japanese language and designed to inform Japanese how CCP is operating an information war against them. | ||
I was invited by Prime Minister Abe's advisors to the LDP headquarters, and I've been in his office, actually, in Abe's headquarters, in his office. | ||
He wasn't actually there, but I mean, so in other words, I was working with them on information war items, and that's how I met Misako. | ||
So Misako is from Okinawa, and she is so well known in Japan that when Candace Owens' book, which is already out, Blackout, when they wanted it translated into Japanese, they asked her to be the translator. | ||
More for her name than for her translation abilities. | ||
So she's very well known in Japan. | ||
She's a researcher and author and she's very interested in the food and the fuel issues and in the politics in Japan. | ||
And now let me just turn it over. | ||
That's who she is. | ||
So Masaka, tell us about this horrible assassination. | ||
It was so brutal, and someone has been revered, like Prime Minister Abe. | ||
Walk us through what kind of impact it's had on Japan. | ||
Where are the people in Japan right now, as far as their mourning goes? | ||
And what did Abe mean to the people in Japan? | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, so July 8th, in the morning, around 1130 AM, he was giving a speech to support Candidate! | |
Right now we have an upper house election, and when he started to talk, one guy from behind, he shot him from behind. | ||
And one fire, first he missed, but the second one, he fell down. | ||
And then, unfortunately, he passed away. | ||
And this is assassination, clearly. | ||
And many Japanese people are really sad. | ||
And many people are saying, we do not know what to say. | ||
And we are waiting for more details to come. | ||
But there is a really mysterious thing that He was not supposed to be there and the speech was scheduled by at last minute. | ||
So these are the kind of like a really mysterious indication what is happening behind. | ||
But we have to wait for more details. | ||
And he was a symbol to many Japanese conservative people to restore Japan. | ||
And one of the topics The first thing that many Japanese people want to discuss right now is to change our constitution. | ||
Right now our Japanese constitution does not allow us to have military. | ||
Of course we have self-defense force, but we are in a different situation. | ||
So he was the symbol to push this movement. | ||
Masako, do you think there's any, I mean, I know the investigation started, but do you think there's any correlation between Abe's strong stance on building, you know, getting rid of the part of the Constitution about that you have to be pacifist and you can only have a limited self-defense force, and having a full-fledged military that could become an ally to the United States, particularly in places like the East China Sea? | ||
And this cowardly act, because it was so brutal in its execution that when you see the video it's almost very tough to watch. | ||
I know the Japanese people have been traumatized by even this act, but do you think there's any correlation or is there anything that leads you to believe in anything you've seen in the reporting? | ||
There's some correlation between Abe's policies, Abe's stance against the Chinese Communist Party, Abe as someone that wanted to restore Japan its greatness in this assassination? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, many people are starting to talk about there may be CCP behind, but according to police reports, this assassin is saying that he committed the crime because he had a grudge against a certain group, and he thought Mr. Abe was connected to it. | |
That's what the statement that came out for now. | ||
And to make this, to answer this question, I have to briefly tell you one thing. | ||
So he was a symbol to like Japan First Movement or build Japan better, make Japan great again, but in the later Many conservative people started to realize that he actually pushed globalist policy if we closely look at the details. | ||
So many people are trying to understand what is really happening and how we can understand those elements that does not make sense. | ||
Right now, because this sad assassination happened today, so many people are kind of not bringing this topic. | ||
This sad assassination happened right now, today, so many people are not bringing this topic. | ||
We are trying to express our deep condolences, and so I think more arguments are to come. | ||
And I personally, I'm really sad, but at the same time we have to really think about the reality. | ||
But I'm going to stop this argument for now. | ||
Yeah I tell you what, we want to make sure, I know you do a lot of work with Michael, we want to make sure you get full access to the War Room, we want to stay on top of this. | ||
So anything that you hear, anything that you want to get out, we want to have you back on the show to do that. | ||
I understand you're doing great work with Michael as one of his partners. | ||
Michael, can you put it, you've spent a lot of time in Japan, you're obviously very close to the Japanese, they revere you, that's why you've done these books. | ||
Give us your perspective on the situation with Abe. | ||
Well, what's pretty shocking to him is, you know, such crimes like that are pretty uncommon in Japan. | ||
And Prime Minister Abe was, when I first, you know, got to know the members of the LDP and his staff, he was very, you know, interested in throwing out Article 9, which is the most important part of the Japanese constitution, which kind of prevents Japan from defending itself. | ||
Masako is from Okinawa, which is, as you know, out there in the middle of the ocean. | ||
It's basically a cherry waiting to be picked, not far from Taiwan. | ||
And Okinawa is under severe information war attack. | ||
For instance, the buttons on their elevators now are written in old dialect, and ATM bank machines now have old dialect. | ||
And they're trying to get Okinawans to say that they're not You know, connected with Japan. | ||
They're trying to split off Okinawa. | ||
So this is, I mean, obviously for people like Masako, who really is very dialed into information war and realizes what this means, she's very concerned. | ||
And the few others on Okinawa who get what this means, you know, they're all concerned about eventual CCP attack on Okinawa, like a direct military attack. | ||
So yeah, it's very interesting. | ||
There's a reason why she's sitting here with me. | ||
It's not coincidence. | ||
I mean, we know that Japan is a future battlefield. | ||
Michael, talking about battlefields, give us a quick update on these heroic, I mean, you and Masaka are over there, because this heroic stand by the farmers. | ||
I want everybody to understand, these farmers in Netherlands, the fight they're fighting against the party of Davos, against Brussels, against the EU, is a universal fight for farmers that's going to happen everywhere. | ||
Already it's spreading. | ||
We had Ben Harnwell on the show this morning. | ||
It's in Italy. | ||
It's spreading throughout the rest of Europe. | ||
The farmers here are gonna get under pressure. | ||
So they're fighting for the universal freedom of farmers everywhere. | ||
Give us an update of where we stand on Friday night in the Netherlands, sir. | ||
Well, Steve, as you know, the government of Netherlands is intent on confiscating all the farmland all the private farmers on the small and medium sized farmers. | ||
They want to take it all. | ||
And they're very clear about it. | ||
Some have already been delivered their letters. | ||
And the excuse that they're using is, Uh, some sort of, you know, nitrogen issues and ammonia. | ||
Basically, it's just BS, of course, as you know. | ||
Just like the CO2 for the so-called global warming. | ||
It's the same thing, except this time, you know, the Dutch farmers are the most efficient farmers in the world, arguably. | ||
And so, in other words, to shut down their farms because they are allegedly polluting would just mean that we're going to export that production to less efficient farmers who use even more chemicals to produce even less food. | ||
And so, but as we know, that's not what this is about. | ||
This is not about pollution. | ||
This is not about global warming. | ||
This is about authoritarian control. | ||
A complete and utter takeover. | ||
We see it happening with American truckers knocking out all the distribution systems like small independent truckers out of business. | ||
They want to knock all the independent farmers out of business so they can control the food supply, food production and distribution and basically control everybody on earth. | ||
which can be, as you know, well done with energy, control over the energy, the money supply, and the money systems, and also the food. | ||
You've got control, and IT as well. | ||
Sorry, Steve, go ahead. | ||
Yeah, Jan, you told me when you were leaving Daring Gap, and you were on the Mexican side of Eagle Pass, Texas, you said, hey, I gotta go to Netherlands, because my theory of the osmotic flow is gonna be centered around food. | ||
And I see famine coming, I see it in Sri Lanka, I see what's happening throughout the world. | ||
What they're doing with these farmers is they've got to take 50% of the fertilizer out and 50% of the crops. | ||
You're going to have even a bigger famine and that's going to lead to a bigger invasion of the United States. | ||
Give me a couple of minutes on that before we got a punch because it's amazing that you spotted this early on and have been ahead of this story everywhere. | ||
That's right, Steve. | ||
You know, I went to Dairy and Gap early last year. | ||
The human osmotic pressure, the push and the pull of migration, I call it HOP, human osmotic pressure. | ||
You know, the pressures come from things like food supply, pandemic, wars. | ||
Or then there's the negative pressure that pulls you in, which is you can just make more money somewhere else. | ||
You know, it's just a human thing. | ||
But so, you know, I just left, I was in Mexico last week. | ||
And as soon as I saw this was happening in the Netherlands, Drove up to Texas, got on the airplane, and now here I am. | ||
Because we can see the most efficient farmers in the world in a country which is one of the top food exporters in the world is being ripped asunder right now. | ||
And the farmers being destroyed. | ||
The Frisian farmers, by the way, ripping them off of their land Generate a hundred centuries of knowledge will be interrupted and destroyed and their culture So when you go into these small villages, by the way around Netherlands, it's it's all migrants Wow Michael, we've got to bounce. | ||
I want to say something. | ||
These farmers have been doing this for 2,000 years. | ||
Remember, they've reclaimed the land. | ||
A lot of the country is underwater. | ||
What they've done is absolutely amazing. | ||
And for people to know World War II history, a lot of where Michael is going to be and has been is Market Garden, is those bridges we had to take. | ||
To get to the Rhine River. | ||
This is historic. | ||
These farmers have been there for thousands of years. | ||
The farmers that came to America and cut the great farmland here learned their trade, passed down from generations, from the farmers of France and the farmers of Netherlands. | ||
So it's really incredible. | ||
Michael, how do people get to you in Mallorca, Massaca, over the weekend on all your social media? | ||
We're going to have you guys back on Monday, but how do people connect with you over the weekend? | ||
Right. | ||
Right. | ||
These are like the flat pyramids, by the way. | ||
They're so amazing here. | ||
I'm on Locals.com. | ||
Locals.com. | ||
And Masako, please say. | ||
unidentified
|
Right now, I mainly do livestream on YouTube. | |
Masako Ganaha livestream on YouTube. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course, YouTube cuts her off because she's conservative. | |
Yeah, we gotta get Masako up on Getter. | ||
Michael, you guys are terrific. | ||
We'll see you Monday, but we'll be following you all weekend. | ||
Let's do it. | ||
We'll get her and get her tonight. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Michael Jan from the Netherlands. | ||
Let's go to, you talk about food as a big problem, another problem, and this is these battleground states. | ||
What's wracking people right now is the economy. | ||
I want to bring in Daniel Turner. | ||
We've had Daniel on before, one of the top energy experts out there. | ||
Daniel, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, this story is going to get, it's going to get nasty. | ||
There's something not right here. | ||
This strategic patrolling reserve was set up 40-50 years ago as a national asset in time of war or crisis. | ||
It's really only been let out twice. | ||
Won 17 million barrels total before the Gulf War and then 20 million barrels I think During Katrina, when all the capacity down in Louisiana got messed up because of the hurricane. | ||
Biden, we don't know, but I think he's letting out a million barrels a day since, for the last 60 days, and we find out now they diverted 5 million barrels to various places, I think to backdoor support the Ukraine war, but most particularly 950,000, I think it is, barrels, 950,000 barrels to the Chinese Communist Party in China. | ||
Walk us through, is this a scandal? | ||
At the scale that people are talking about it? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
This deserves investigation. | ||
It deserves congressional inquiry because, as you said, this is supposed to be used for American time of crisis, American time of national natural disaster or war. | ||
And it's for domestic purposes. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
So to use this strategic oil and put it on the global market, which the Biden administration did, it's bad enough that President Biden lied. | ||
And said it was being used domestically when really they were selling millions of barrels to any country. | ||
India was one customer. | ||
The Netherlands was another customer. | ||
But then you find around 950,000 barrels were sold to the Communist Chinese. | ||
And the middleman, one of the firms involved in this sale, is this Chinese company that Hunter Biden is a part owner and an investor. | ||
And it just seems beyond coincidence that somehow this reprobate, who has his hands in every Ukraine deal, Chinese deal, somehow his company is involved in a deal that's selling our natural resources to the communist Chinese when we're told it was being released from the strategic reserve to help domestically. | ||
So yeah, this has a lot of scandal all over it, and it really is worthy of investigation. | ||
Daniel, let me ask you a question, because I know this is a thing that they're pulling forward, something Congress approved, but the purpose—I just want people to understand this—the purpose of the strategic patrolling reserve is a strategic asset in times of either That's why the only two times before it's really been let out a lot, I think, was 17 million barrels in the Gulf War, and 20 million, which is the war, right, in the early 90s. | ||
The other was 20 million barrels around the catastrophe that hit Absolutely. | ||
in particularly Louisiana with the refinery capacity during Katrina, which was 20 million barrels. | ||
It was never meant, correct me if I'm wrong, it's never meant as really a pricing mechanism, right? And Biden's been using it as that, number one. And number two, there was never any concept that this would go to any even foreign allies, right? There's no discussion. This must be used as a strategic asset for the United States. Daniel Turner. | ||
Absolutely. I mean, this isn't, It's not supposed to be a hedge to drive down markets. | ||
And clearly Biden saw rising gas prices. | ||
He knew we had a supply problem. | ||
So, I mean, give his administration that basic understanding of economics that they knew we had an increased supply. | ||
But like you said, it was never meant for foreign use. | ||
And, you know, I've always liked the logistics of operations of government because that's where you can find a lot of bad doings, right? | ||
When there's a protest and suddenly people show up and they have signs and you're like, all right, well this wasn't organic because Someone went to Kinko's and made all these signs, right? | ||
When you think of selling five million barrels, there are logistics involved. | ||
Someone physically had to put barrels of oil onto cargo ships, onto rail cars first, onto cargo ships and send them some to Europe, some across the Pacific. | ||
And so whenever government does anything like this, there are checkpoints and lists that you have to sign. | ||
And somewhere along this, this is a cry, somewhere there's a whistleblower who was doing this saying, wait a second, where are these millions of barrels headed? | ||
Somewhere at the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary, who doesn't know a thing about the energy industry, by the way, but Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of Energy, someone had to approve this in her office. | ||
Right, this is not a hard thing for Congress to say, let's bring the Secretary of Energy down to the Hill and have some hearings. | ||
And you know Capitol Hill loves their hearings, right? | ||
There's a lot of steps in this process that are worthy of investigation. | ||
There are people out there who saw this happen. | ||
There are whistleblowers who could potentially come forward and say, who authorized this and how in the hell is this possible? | ||
Daniel, what you're telling our audience, you think there's a lot here, and there's a lot more that's going to be, a lot more information is going to come about this, and none of this plays by what the original asset was set up to do. | ||
Am I correct in that interpretation? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
This is not the purpose of the Strategic Reserve, and if we're going to use it for our allies, someone can make that argument. | ||
But why are we possibly selling it to the Communist Chinese? | ||
And then on top of that, just one quick point. | ||
Remember, Biden all last week, he questioned the patriotism of the oil and gas industry, right? | ||
He told us that we were shills of Putin because we weren't lowering prices and we were helping his war. | ||
He accused us of price gouging, of profiteering. | ||
He kept talking about how we're at a time of war, a time of war. | ||
And then you find out his administration is doing this. | ||
So there's a real personal level I have of anger working in the oil and gas industry, knowing the great men and women who work in this space, millions of them, and having our reputation besmirched, having us hauled before Congress, having our patriotism questioned. | ||
And then you find his administration is selling our most important strategic natural reserve. | ||
He's selling it to not just foreign countries, but he's selling it to the Communist Chinese and possibly His reprobate son is profiting in the process. | ||
So this is worthy of investigation. | ||
Daniel, we're going to have you on next week to talk about your recommendations on how we get out of this mess with energy because you're not going to solve the economic problem or the inflation problem until we get back to full-spectrum energy dominance. | ||
Give your social media, Daniel, your website. | ||
How do people find out more about you and start to follow you? | ||
Sure, Daniel Turner, PowerOfTheFuture.com, Daniel Turner PTF on all my platforms. | ||
And you're right, energy is the heart of everything, including, you were just talking about the farming issue. | ||
Without energy, we're not going to have farms. | ||
Without energy, we're not going to have food. | ||
Energy is the key to everything. | ||
And America's blessed with it. | ||
We shouldn't be in this crisis, Steve. | ||
You and your audience know that. | ||
We shouldn't be in this crisis. | ||
We've got multiple Saudi Arabias, one in Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, one in the Permian Basin, and one in Alaska. | ||
Divine Providence has made the New Jerusalem of America energy dominant, but we've got to start acting it. | ||
Daniel Turner, thank you so much for coming on here, sir, on a Friday evening. | ||
Always a pleasure, thanks. | ||
We'll get Daniel on back next week. | ||
We're going to be doing a lot on energy. | ||
Let's bring in Joanna Miller. | ||
Joanna was the wingman for the one and only Peter Navarro. | ||
Joanna, you've been all over this. | ||
Formula situation. | ||
I gotta tell you, Joanna, what I don't get is when you were in Trump's White House and one of the young hard chargers there, Peter's first book was called In Trump Time. | ||
I remember talking to you guys. | ||
You guys were 24-7. | ||
You never took weekends off. | ||
I mean, you're basically a professional athlete that went there and a real fighter. | ||
You guys weren't taking weekends off. | ||
You were working non-stop. | ||
This formula situation, I'm so blessed that you came back on because I called you the other day and said, how can this thing not be solved? | ||
They haven't even made a process to solve it. | ||
Joanna, just compare the Biden White House as far as getting things done versus Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So basically the recent updates on this Operation Fly formula initiated by Biden to import baby formula rather than take care of our factories at home. | ||
So, so far, since starting the initiative, about 6 months later, when the shortage first began, they've imported about 37 million 8-ounce bottles of baby formula, but in reality, this is only enough to sustain all of America's babies for 2-3 days, and we're in month 7 of a shortage. | ||
Also, the Biden FDA has made it easy for foreign manufacturers to sell in U.S. | ||
markets. | ||
They think this is solving the crisis. | ||
Our American manufacturers and suppliers that are buying from foreign companies, it's evident that the shortage is not fixed yet because they're putting purchase restrictions on people when they're buying formula. | ||
So America's babies and companies are at the expense of when these foreign manufacturers decide to sell us product. | ||
And lastly, I just want to highlight something about what you were saying about our response versus theirs. | ||
It took the Biden administration 217 days to even invoke the Defense Production Act in the first place, to even start importing formula. | ||
However, what they should have done, as we did, was take care of that Abbott factory when there were reports of it going down in February, and give money for US manufacturing of baby formula because we have 98% production here. | ||
And so what we're seeing is that we're importing from nine different countries, we can't even get enough formula to sustain our babies and their health, and there's no dollars going to our US manufacturing workers. | ||
And so our babies are in trouble, and this formula, by the way, we don't even know, it's totally different than what's here already. | ||
So the response time and effort and care is just totally lacking from the Biden administration compared to what we did. | ||
you Joanna, I want you to hang on a second, and we're going to take a short break. | ||
We're going to come back with Joanna Miller. | ||
We've also got Abraham Hamadeh, who's running for the Attorney General down in Arizona, and a very special guest, Matt Palumbo. | ||
Talk about Soros, the man behind the curtain, a blockbuster book. | ||
Got a lot more coverage. | ||
Joanna Miller's going to return to us. | ||
This formula situation is not acceptable. | ||
Jonah Miller from the Trump White House going to join us after a short commercial break. | ||
unidentified
|
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
Joanna Miller was one of the top young deputies in the White House under President Trump. | ||
She worked for the hard charger Dr. Peter Navarro on the trade side, but she was one of the people that really got us through this pandemic with all the great work they did in the White House. | ||
Here's where we're going to stand. | ||
They've got this situation where for America to be on bended knee, to have to get formula that's not the right formula, not the same formula our kids have, babies have, is not acceptable. | ||
It gets all over me. | ||
And even you're saying that, Joanna, is not done correctly, because there's not enough coming in. | ||
It's a mess. | ||
Your point is, hey, they're not working overtime to make sure we get American capacity back up so we can have America formula for American babies. | ||
Is that essentially your argument right now? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, so what the FDA thinks is solving the problem is, okay, let's just make it easier for foreign companies to deliver baby formula to our U.S. | |
suppliers. | ||
However, they're not even meeting U.S. | ||
demand. | ||
You know, our U.S. | ||
suppliers that are purchasing from abroad are still struggling to provide enough formula for our babies. | ||
And people are having to join Facebook groups to figure out and scavenge for baby formula and travel across states to even get enough food for their babies. | ||
And so people are limited to, I think, at places like Kroger, an American supplier of U.S. | ||
baby formula, You just four containers per person and this is just they're falling behind the crisis is far from over and the vitamin is not meeting us demand. | ||
The reason I reached out to you, Joanna, I know you were busy the other day, because I was talking to one of our sponsors, one of the executives that worked there, and she's a grandmother, relatively young, but a grandmother. | ||
She said she came to take time on the weekend because she's helping her daughter-in-law get formula. | ||
And I said, well, I thought this formula was going to take care of it. | ||
She says, no, it's probably worse now than it was. | ||
I said, this is incredible. | ||
Joanna, here's what I want to leave you with. | ||
The War Room and our apparatus, our audience, is prepared. | ||
Anything that you think can help, any way we can do this, this has to be solved. | ||
First off, it's traumatizing young mothers. | ||
She was talking about her daughter-in-law. | ||
I mean, these young women in the country are as tough as they get, but we're traumatizing. | ||
They have these babies, and you look around and there's no formula. | ||
We've never had this in the history of the country since formula came up. | ||
This is not acceptable. | ||
This is not America, and we cannot let this happen. | ||
The Trump White House, and one of the reasons I think people so admired you, it was 24-7, seven days a week, right? | ||
I've got a responsibility to the country, I've got a responsibility to the administration, and here you're not seeing it. | ||
So tell us, in your mind, what this audience can do now. | ||
What can we do now that this audience is, you know, we're the number one show for grassroots organization. | ||
What can people do now? | ||
unidentified
|
There's many groups on Facebook that have been organizing efforts. | |
I'm not an expert on like every single group in every single state, but I know that there are many concerned mothers that have been so open and willing to help each other out. | ||
And I just want to end on one final note. | ||
We had awarded in the Trump administration over a hundred Defense Production Act large-scale long-term contracts. | ||
For our supply chain shortages during the China virus pandemic. | ||
So get out there, show up, vote for America, America First candidates as these primaries come around and make sure that our country is never at the expense of people like this that steal elections and then mess up our country. | ||
And secondly, show up to work at the polls, show up, volunteer, be observers, make sure that our elections are clean so we never are in this situation ever again for our families and our babies. | ||
Joanna, how can people follow you on social media? | ||
She's one of the people you got to put on your list because she's a young firebrand. | ||
How do people follow you? | ||
unidentified
|
USA Joanna underscore Joanna is my Twitter. | |
Joanna Miller on Getter Truth. | ||
And yeah, that's it. | ||
Joanna Miller, thank you. | ||
Thank you for breaking away today on a Friday to do this. | ||
Really appreciate it. | ||
We'll be back to you next week. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
I want to bring in the great Matt Palumbo. | ||
minutes he's a former Army intelligence, he's a captain in the Army intelligence officer. He's now, he's running in the Republican primary to be attorney general in Arizona but I want to bring in the great Matt Palumbo. Matt and the reason I want to tee it up is that at this issue with DAs and secretaries of state I went back and went through your book again, The Man Behind the Curtain Inside the Secret Network of George Soros. | ||
I can't recommend, I know people are overwhelmed with information we put out there, but this book is such an eye-opener. | ||
And hey, Dan Bongino tells me, I've written a lot about Soros, he said this book opened his eyes. | ||
And I want to do it before you have a guy that's going to be the cutting edge of being an Attorney General. | ||
What this book gets me, Palumbo, is George Soros is a very smart, very tough guy, and I think people that try to denigrate him and say, hey, this is a smart guy, he knows what he wants to accomplish, and he ain't shy about putting money to work. | ||
Tell us about the man behind the curtain. | ||
Right. | ||
So, I mean, Soros is sort of this quote-unquote boogeyman figure I've always been hearing about in politics, and he's been on my radar since maybe 2010 or so. | ||
And when I had the opportunity to do a book on him, I just thought it would be a great experience to A, learn more about this guy and see what his scope of influence is, and see if it's really as people describe. | ||
And as it turns out, I mean, 99% of what you read about that guy in an internet comment section is more or less true or some diluted version of it. | ||
You were just mentioning the DAs, and that's actually the longest chapter of the book, where I just profile, who are these people Soros has decided to back as he's gone local? | ||
What is the public philosophy they're espousing that attracts Soros? | ||
And then more importantly, what happens after they take office, and what are the consequences? | ||
And it's a very only repetitive chapter in that. | ||
The insanity manifests itself in all of these people, but it's slightly different in each one. | ||
They'll take office. | ||
They really stop enforcing most crimes. | ||
They'll fire all the experienced prosecutors. | ||
And what you generally see is a doubling of the murder rate, a doubling of the violent crime rate. | ||
that all these other just quality of of life crimes which you know the things you see walking on the street every day to public homelessness public drunkenness all this kind of behavior that has a negative feedback loop or even encourages more more violent behavior uh... so yes it's a very brief overview but i also go into you know source in the media whose control is there's all over universities eyes work overseas i just really try to dissect uh... | ||
every facet of the guys life and said i guess reference what you said earlier uh... practically uh... he is a very smart man i read most of his books in preparation for writing this one on the easing very uh... | ||
i have a very original finger i would say that's largely what they didn't so so powerful a couple of with the back to that he's you know this figure that's but you know funding all this left wing sub nationwide but because he is such a control over the media he's been a practically made a conspiracy theory to point out what he's doing openly which is you help them out a lot as well well. | ||
By the way, we're going to have Abel in here in a second, but you look at New York City with Bragg. | ||
You look at San Francisco, they just recalled him. | ||
They're recalling Gascon in L.A. | ||
What is his theory? | ||
Is he trying to have societal breakdown by having these big metropolitan areas have these DAs that just don't enforce the law, that have these bail procedures to let people out? | ||
I mean, what does Soros get out of it? | ||
Does he really have a grand design in your mind to take down American society? | ||
I kind of have to err on that side, because, you know, it's not like a liberal policy like some, you know, Bernie Sanders-style social program where you could say, you know, okay, it's a wasteful vote, we can see why you think it's a good policy. | ||
You know, with these basically anti-law enforcement, weekend crime policies, there's no theory behind why it would make life better. | ||
How does that improve the life of anyone? | ||
So there's an absence of a theory, and we've seen what's happened in every single city where this has happened, and there's no deviation. | ||
So there's no There's no counter example of this working out, nor is there any idea of what the end goal really is. | ||
They just sort of use these words like, you know, reform and just these liberal, mostly liberal buzzwords. | ||
But yeah, I have to think, you know, the goal might be to just sort of tear the whole system down and start anew. | ||
I mean, I had that thought too with the Defund the Police movement, where it's, You know, what is the real end goal? | ||
Is it to federalize the police? | ||
Because, you know, the government obviously wants more power, and why would they be against the police having power? | ||
Well, to, you know, shuffle the power from the state and local level to the federal level. | ||
But it is, I will say, a challenge in writing the book was the why factor, because I can't think like Soros, and I generally am someone who tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that their motives are clear, but he makes it pretty much impossible. | ||
Okay, I want to talk about your motives, because I read this book. | ||
One of the reasons I like it and I recommend it, and I'm quoted on the back, and I think the world of Palumbo and Bongino and what they're doing over there, is that this book has 668 footnotes. | ||
You don't make a statement in this book, Palumbo, you can't back up. | ||
And that's what's so powerful about it. | ||
This book is one of the best footnoted books I've ever seen. | ||
What about the charge of anti-semitism? | ||
You know, with people that support Orban. | ||
Every time he's seen, you bring up, you talk about Soros, they come out, you know, Palumbo's anti-semitic, Bongino's anti-semitic, the Bannon and the Worm guys are anti-semitic. | ||
They're attacking, they're attacking Soros because he's Jewish. | ||
Give the counter to that because when I read your book I said, hey, Palumbo doesn't make any assertions here. | ||
This is literally a book that you read it and you check at the bottom. | ||
And the reason I love the way you footnote it, I don't have to flip to the back. | ||
unidentified
|
Boom! | |
It's right there at the bottom to give a factual check. | ||
What do you say about the charge that you're just an anti-Semitic and using all this coded language because George Soros is Jewish? | ||
Well, it's all public information I just, you know, was the organizer for. | ||
And I mean, the reason Soros does this is because for at least the past 20 years, accusing someone of racism has just been a way for the left to shut people up. | ||
The media sort of uncritically reports on those allegations. | ||
You know, anti-Semitism is a form of racism that, you know, gets its own name, so it's even a more powerful charge. | ||
But one of the stories I talk about in the beginning of the book, and it's a story Soros does not like being spoken of, his infamous interview with 60 Minutes where he talks about his role in Nazi-occupied Hungary, you know, serving deportation notices to Jews and helping confiscate their belongings. | ||
And I give a very, I think, I guess, relatively lengthy explanation of that whole story. | ||
And then Soros is, you know, him and Soros backed publications, trying to deny that he said what he said in that interview and just why that all falls apart. | ||
But yeah, it's just a basic deflection technique, unfortunately a very low IQ one. | ||
But in the media chapter, I have a list of publications that I linked to Soros. | ||
And one thing I did as an experiment was I just searched Soros' name in the search bar on all those websites. | ||
And they all, generally speaking, when they report on Soros, will phrase it in those terms. | ||
And it's just, yeah, the easiest deflection tactic, and unfortunately for the modern liberal mind, it's very effective. | ||
Okay, the book is The Man Behind the Curtain. | ||
It's a must-get to read. | ||
If you want to quit talking about Soros and learn something about him, this is the book. | ||
Matt Palumbo, how did they get the book, and how did people get to you on social media and Banjin or everything you're working on? | ||
So the book, I mean, easiest would be Amazon. | ||
I know a lot of people like to avoid Amazon. | ||
If you Google the title or just go on my publisher's website, Post Hill Press, there's other buying options, but Amazon and Barnes & Noble are the main two that I think would be easiest. | ||
As for social media, I'm on Twitter as MattPalumbo12, and also on Getter with the same name. | ||
Matt Palumbo, thank you very much for joining us on a Friday here in the War and Battleground. | ||
Thanks, Steve. | ||
My pleasure. | ||
Okay, I wanted to tee that up to bring in Abe Hamaday, who's running for the Attorney General position in a primary in Arizona. | ||
This is one of the ones that's going to be the most controversial in the country. | ||
Abe, you're also, besides being a former Army, your Captain Army Intelligence Officer, you're also a former prosecutor, so you've seen up close and personal the whole source of it all. | ||
Tell us, what is motivating you now, given everything that's out there, to want to be the Attorney General in the great state of Arizona? | ||
Steve, thank you for having me on again. | ||
You know, just teeing it up with, you know, that previous interview with Matt, George Soros has infiltrated every aspect of our life so quickly. | ||
And why I decided to run, you know, obviously I'm the youngest candidate running for Attorney General out here in Arizona, but, you know, this is my generation's fight. | ||
And, you know, too often the same old guard who got us into this mess, they're not going to be the ones to get us out of it. | ||
So when you're looking at how much more powerful states are right now, states are the ones that created the federal government. | ||
And under the right state leadership, the states will be the ones that save our country. | ||
Whether it's going down at the border, or whether it's the inner cities that's been infiltrated by George Soros prosecutors. | ||
The AG's position is much more powerful than it ever has been. | ||
And we have to fight back and go on offense. | ||
So some of the priorities that I'm gonna focus on, dealing especially with the George Soros issue, is he's taken over these prosecutor offices, not just in California, New York, and Chicago, but even in Arizona. | ||
He got one elected down in Pima County. | ||
And he's targeting another one in Maricopa County. | ||
And he's actually labeled me, him and the ADL have labeled me as being one of the most dangerous candidates running for office. | ||
And he's exactly right. | ||
I am dangerous. | ||
I'm dangerous to him and the status quo. | ||
And the media just this week, actually, they picked up, there's this on Twitter. | ||
They're calling me an anti-Semite for criticizing George Soros. | ||
This is exactly what they do to try to silence us. | ||
And they're also criticizing me a few weeks ago for being a racist, because I said the Black National Anthem is stupid. | ||
And after they came up with that article, I doubled down on it, Steve. | ||
I mean, when I got back on my deployment, you watch the NFL, and there's a Black National Anthem before our American National Anthem. | ||
Our country, when you're in the military, you recognize it so clearly. | ||
We wear that American flag on our right shoulder sleeve, And we are one nation with one flag and one anthem. | ||
And how the radical left is destroying us culturally. | ||
That's what's so scary is how fast it's occurred. | ||
Whether if you're a parent who criticizes critical race theory at your school board, now you're potentially going to be deemed a domestic terrorist. | ||
Whether you donated money to the Canadian truckers to stop the whole COVID nonsense, you might be deemed a domestic terrorist and you might have your bank account seized. | ||
Remember what GoFundMe was trying to do? | ||
They were trying to shift that money into radical leftist organizations. | ||
And who stopped them? | ||
It was state AGs. | ||
So, you know, finally state AGs have realized that we have to unite and push back against not just the federal government, but big tech and George Soros and all these other nefarious actors who are trying to destroy our lives. | ||
But, you know, to go to the point of what you talked to Matt about, why George Soros is doing this, and nobody really knows, I mean, other than it's clearly an intentional destruction of this country. | ||
But here in Phoenix, we have a shortage of 1,000 police officers, 1,000. | ||
And you really have to tie that into the George Floyd BLM riots that were happening a few years ago, right? | ||
Where what's worse than just defunding the police, Steve, is they've demoralized our law enforcement officers. | ||
So I do think that there is this movement to try to federalize our inner cities particularly, because our suburbs are actually doing pretty well in terms of law enforcement recruitment, but it's our inner cities that George Soros So this is where, as Attorney General, we have to push back. | ||
And Arizona's on the front lines of so many of the battles, whether it's the border, whether it's our election fraud, or whether it's our inner cities that are being taken over by George Soros. | ||
That's why I'm running for Attorney General. | ||
By the way, this is why I wanted to have Matt on to talk about the book before you. | ||
It's got the open border, you've got the election situation where he gets the Secretary of State in there, you've got the defund the police, you've also got the whole radical nature of the school content. | ||
You've got the critical race theory, all that. | ||
How do people find it? | ||
First off, before I get it balanced, I've got to ask you. | ||
Are you 100% in back of this invasion? | ||
You know, Brnovich wrote it, but then never acted upon it. | ||
They've started to act upon it in Texas. | ||
Where does Abe Hamade stand with this concept of the states taking action about the invasion of Arizona? | ||
Well, I agree with what Texas just did yesterday, too. | ||
And this is where, this is not a federal immigration problem, Steve. | ||
I mean, you're having 240,000 poor across the border. | ||
So, yes, I do think we need to declare an invasion under Article 4, Section 4. | ||
The federal government has failed its job and uses state war powers under Article 1, Section 10. | ||
But I also need a good governor. | ||
And out here in Arizona, you know, we have another Trump-endorsed candidate, Carrie Lake, who's running for governor. | ||
So, you know, we need to have a good America First team when we're tackling these issues, because I can't do it alone. | ||
Abe, how do people get to you, find out more about you personally and more about your campaign? | ||
Thanks, Steve. | ||
They can go to my website at Abe4AG.com, Abe, A-B-E, 4-F-O-R-A-G.com, and they can find me on Twitter and at Truth at Abraham Hamadeh. | ||
Abe Hamadeh is a fighter. | ||
Thank you very much for joining us here on our Friday night, sir. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Thank you, Steve. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Let's get one of my favorite people, Dave Ramaswamy. | ||
Dave, I know you only got a couple of minutes, but I reached out to you first with Abe. | ||
And I put up on my Twitter and pinned it, Abe, Modi, Trump, these three nationalists. | ||
They're incredible. | ||
Give us your sense of this tremendous tragedy that happened on the nationalists. | ||
Abe, I know that you're one of Modi's biggest supporters. | ||
Walk me through what your thoughts are today. | ||
Thank you, Steve. | ||
Shinzo Abe, the late Prime Minister of Japan, was Asia's greatest living statesman and his assassination is a dastardly act and it's a political earthquake, a tsunami and a volcanic eruption all rolled into one. | ||
And the reason I say that is the following. | ||
It's Japan's JFK moment, RFK moment and Franz Ferdinand moment. | ||
Let me walk you through this. | ||
As you know, JFK's assassination was a huge setback to American democracy. | ||
And still, after 60 years, it resonates deeply in the hearts of the American people. | ||
And same thing with Japan. | ||
I mean, Japan, where gun violence is almost unheard of, and gun rights are severely restricted. | ||
The fact that a gunman, almost like a crazed gunman, can shoot a sitting parliament representative Besides the former Prime Minister of Japan in the back from a 10 feet distance is unheard of. | ||
And it's an RFK moment because as you know, RFK was assassinated in June of 1968 while he was campaigning for the presidency. | ||
In the same vein, Shinzo Abe was assassinated a few days before Japan's elections, which is coming up this Sunday. | ||
And the third aspect, the Franz Ferdinand moment, and this is where it has global geopolitical ramifications. | ||
You know that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in June 1914 set off a cascading series of events which escalated into World War One with severe and deep-seated consequences for the entire world, 10 million casualties. | ||
So It's critical for the Japanese government to get to the bottom of this without delay because the future of the world or the security of Asia is at stake and they've got to find out if there was a larger conspiracy. | ||
And, you know, to your point, Abe's philosophy was basically Japan first, a counterpart to President Trump's America first, which was And is basically a strong domestic manufacturing industry combined with stringent national security and not just for Japan itself, but the concept was free and open Indo-Pacific. | ||
So President Trump, Prime Minister Modi of India and the late Prime Minister Abe figured out the energy flows across Asia in the Indo-Pacific Ocean was critical to the world's security. | ||
Dave, I'm going to have you back on on Monday. | ||
We've got to bounce. | ||
We've got to hard out. | ||
Dave Ramaswamy, Brain Analysis. | ||
Tomorrow morning, Mike Davis. | ||
What we're going to do is a special on deconstructing the administrative state. | ||
Mike Davis is my wingman. |
