Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You just not get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Baskin. | |
| Your calendar day is so amazing. | ||
| Everybody's got to read it. But the point of this, just real quickly, this 22-point memo, you make this brilliant assessment that it was an email sent by Hunter. | ||
| It's the only email if you've looked through thousands of these things. | ||
| It looks like it's reflective and smart. | ||
| It looks like it was taken from a highly classified document, ma'am. | ||
| Are you in concurrence with that? | ||
| Well, yeah. I mean, it's certainly, he's been given a very deep strategic briefing with information that wasn't on the public record. | ||
| So, you know, how classified that was, who knows. | ||
| This is a week before his father travels to Ukraine. | ||
| This is an uncharacteristically, you know, intelligent, lengthy, well-informed email to his business partner, Devon Archer, who he, this was around the time that he and Devon Archer got onto the board of That corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma that was paying $183,000 a month just to sit on the board when he had no credentials to do that. | ||
| And they cut his pay in half when his father ceased to be vice president. | ||
| So it's pretty obvious what they were paying him for. | ||
| And this is at the time when he's wanting to prove his bona fides to show that he's worth $83,000 a month. | ||
| So he gets hold of this information. | ||
| And it looks like it certainly has the flavor of an official briefing, maybe even a classified one. | ||
| There's a lot going on here. | ||
| And in the mountain of reporting on this, one thing struck out to us, and it's from a Miranda Devine piece in the New York Post today. | ||
| And in it, she quotes from a long email that Hunter Biden sent to his business partner in 2014 before a trip to Ukraine. | ||
| And that email makes it very clear that Hunter Biden was reading classified information he got from his father in clear violation of federal law. | ||
| It's very obviously true. | ||
| And if it be proven true, and we think it can be proven true, they're done. | ||
| With how much the Russians have been able to infiltrate the United States government, and the fact that there's still mainstream people, they keep talking about a, quote, Russian hoax as if they didn't even read the second part of the Mueller report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a great point, Joe, because they're using this McGonagall case, those people you're talking about, to discredit the Russia investigation because McGonagall played some small role in it, when actually, to your point, what it shows is how deeply the tentacles of Russian influence have reached into our government. | |
| I don't understand this. | ||
| Can you get a guy bought off by the Russians working on a Russia investigation that ends up deciding Trump doesn't have contacts with Russia? | ||
| How stupid do these people think we are? | ||
| He's on the take from the Russians, from a Russian oligarch, and he gives Trump the good housekeeping seal of approval. | ||
| The FBI does. | ||
| I don't understand how they turned this against. | ||
| If anything, it undermines the FBI's conclusion that Donald Trump has a clean bill of health there. | ||
| When again, even the Republican Senate Intel Committee said that wasn't the case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's a fair point. | |
| I mean, obviously there were many more FBI agents than Charlie McGonigal who were working on that whole Mueller matter. | ||
| And, you know, they all looked as they turned over to Iraq and they didn't find coordination. | ||
| But to your point, I mean, a lot of people should go back and read that Senate Intelligence Committee report that you referenced, which, as you said, was written by Republicans and Democrats. | ||
| Marco Rubio and Mark Warner agreed. | ||
| And it was actually, in many ways, more damning of Donald Trump than the Mueller report. | ||
| And it went into stuff that the Mueller report didn't get into. | ||
| And it said clearly that the Trump campaign in 2016 posed a counterintelligence threat to the United States and that those folks left themselves open to Russian influence and they engaged in a series of improper contacts with Russian intelligence officers and Russian agents. | ||
| That is in black and white. | ||
| Anyone can read it. It's on the Internet. | ||
| It was endorsed by Republicans. | ||
| Joe, you're making a great point there. | ||
| So here's what I learned on my trip. | ||
| We're 11 months in this war. | ||
| The Russian army is being decimated in many ways. | ||
| The fight in the east is at a turning point. | ||
| Without tanks, Ukraine cannot expel Russia. | ||
| With tanks, they can. | ||
| And this tells me that Germany and the United States, 11 months after the war started, is still not all in in achieving the goal of allowing the Ukraine to expel Russia. | ||
| They're intimidated, I think, Germany and the United States by the bluster coming from Putin. | ||
| So here's my statement to the United States. | ||
| For God's sake, send a few Abrams tanks into Ukraine. | ||
| They can handle it. | ||
| And that will open up the floodgates and put pressure on Germany to send the tanks that the Ukrainians need to expel Russia from Ukraine, which is the goal. | ||
| What did I learn from meeting with Zelensky? | ||
| There is no off-ramp. | ||
| The Ukrainians are not going to voluntarily give up any of the Ukraine to the Russian invaders. | ||
| They're going to fight to the last person to expel Russia from all parts of the Ukraine. | ||
| As soon as we buy into that as our goal, we will win this war. | ||
| With the tanks, the Ukrainians are going to beat the Russians. | ||
| Without the tanks, this war is going to go on and on. | ||
| like the British did to the Germans. | ||
| This is the first chance since World War II to prove to the world you're a force for good. | ||
| You have an opportunity here to provide weaponry to an ally, the Ukraine, who's being denied their freedom. | ||
| They've been raped and pillaged by the Russians. | ||
| You can turn the tide of battle, Germany, if you choose to. | ||
| It would be so embarrassing for all of us to go to Germany in the middle of February without the Germans having not given tanks to the Ukraine. | ||
| It would make the Munich Security Conference a joke. | ||
| Rise to the occasion, my German friends. | ||
| Right. Okay. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 24 January in the year of the Lord, 2023. | ||
| It's almost hard to even think about where to start. | ||
| But since we're at signal, not noise, we're going to put it all in perspective. | ||
| One of the key takeaways is, and I think Tucker's going to do more tonight. | ||
| We're going to do some of it today. | ||
| And then tomorrow we're going to have Rudy for an entire hour to go through the... | ||
| Which is out of the bag and a kill shot for the Biden regime is this highly classified memo. | ||
| The 22 points that that Hunter Biden in the laptop from hell gives to his partner, Devin Archer, to lay out the entire strategic and foreshadowing exactly what's going to happen in American involvement, the Western involvement, NATO involvement in the because this was happening right after the modern color revolution. | ||
| Right, where we changed out the CIA and Victoria Nuland changed out the democratically elected corrupt government, a democratically elected Putin puppet, but democratically elected, right? | ||
| A Putin puppet. The one thing we couldn't get there because they don't want to talk about, it's all in the print, is, and this comes directly from this audience, is the no more money for Ukraine. | ||
| You heard Lindsey Graham with the pom-poms. | ||
| By the way, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina on Saturday with Trump should have to buy a ticket in the nosebleed section. | ||
| If he is behind stage with Trump, he is a cancer. | ||
| And you see right there this insanity, pure insanity, of wanting to expand in a major land war with the Russians. | ||
| Millie, it's reported Millie Burns, I've got it up. | ||
| On Getter right now, CIA Director Burns, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Milley, actually go to Ukraine. | ||
| And what they're talking about is trying to get Zelensky to stop defending Bakhmut in the siege there to kind of give up the eastern part and to prepare for a massive spring offensive. | ||
| This is the American strategy, a massive spring offensive. | ||
| Focused on maneuver warfare, tank, armored warfare, where the Ukrainians would go and try to retake Crimea. | ||
| CNN's reporting this. BBC's reporting this. | ||
| We're just putting up what they're saying. | ||
| To pivot away from holding these cities in the east and trying to stop the Russians from taking any more of eastern Russian-speaking Ukraine and actually, with tanks, prepare for a massive maneuver warfare offense and to take back the Crimea. | ||
| You heard Lindsey Graham right there. | ||
| There is no off-ramp. | ||
| And in between, you heard the FBI's got a spy who was an integral part of the Trump-Russia hoax. | ||
| Cash Patel's been outing this, so we got a lot to get to, including the highly classified material that was given to Hunter Biden. | ||
| The special counsel heard that's all you ought to be focused on today. | ||
| Drop everything else, because everything else is just a sideshow right now. | ||
| This email that was in the laptop from hell. | ||
| It's in the laptop from hell. | ||
| It clearly comes off a classified briefing that Biden got a few days before he left for the Ukraine in 2014, which got this entire administration, got the entire Obama in the deep state rolling on the Ukraine plan. | ||
| I got Monica Crowley. | ||
| We got Steve Cortez. | ||
| We got Ben Harnwell. We got Mike Davis. | ||
| We're packed all day today. | ||
| I want to start with Monica. Monica. | ||
| You're one of the great geopolitical thinkers. | ||
| You're very close to President Nixon, who was probably one of the smartest of all time. | ||
| But you're also a senior executive for President Trump in the Treasury Department. | ||
| You see what's going on throughout the world with With Brazil and Argentina, everybody trying to get off the U.S. dollar as this war continues to metastasize. | ||
| Give us your assessment on the investigations you see, the classified documents, the crimes of Biden, and right now, and what we didn't have time to put in, and they don't only have up, the corruption. | ||
| You have the Minister of Interior that all the police report to, you know, dies in an accidental helicopter crash. | ||
| Uh-huh. Accidental helicopter crash last week. | ||
| The guy that all the internal security forces report to, he dies in an accident, quote, unquote. | ||
| Now, all Zelensky is doing... | ||
| Because this audience said no more money, or MTG saying, hey, if you get any more money, it's going to have a full audit. | ||
| All they're doing is, oh, number one priority, the number one priority of Ukraine, the super number one priority is just anti-corruption. | ||
| They're firing guys left and right on a new anti-corruption purge. | ||
| Monica Crowley, make it make sense for us, ma'am. | ||
| Okay, I will do my best, Steve, and thank you for having me this morning. | ||
| Look, whenever we talk about the regime, the deep state, and the multi-front war, the multi-front assault coming to the United States, you have to keep in mind that it's all of a piece. | ||
| We have a lot of moving parts here, but they're all rowing in the same direction. | ||
| They're all moving in the same direction, okay? | ||
| So let's just stipulate that. | ||
| Number two, let's stipulate that Joe Biden is the most corrupt president we have ever had, and it's not even close. | ||
| Let's also stipulate that he and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as his brother James Biden, they are the most blackmailable people on the face of the earth. | ||
| And the fact that this man is now the president of the United States and the commander-in-chief, making decisions about our national security and foreign policy, perhaps introducing American soldiers into harm's way, is completely outrageous and totally unacceptable. | ||
| So once we have that baseline of information, now let's move into Hunter Biden, the classified document scandal, and Ukraine. Because again, it's all of a piece. | ||
| Ukraine is a country of deep and profound corruption, of longstanding. | ||
| So it's no coincidence that the Biden family, with the bag man Hunter Biden, who was drug addled and incredibly vulnerable to all kinds of influences, was the Biden's key man. | ||
| in terms of bringing back tens of millions of dollars from this corrupt country. | ||
| Notice that they didn't go to France. | ||
| They didn't go to Italy. | ||
| They went to Ukraine. | ||
| So again, it's of a piece. | ||
| Now we have this war in Ukraine, and the Biden family is now deeply in power. | ||
| Obviously, we've got Joe Biden as president making decisions about American foreign policy. | ||
| In this situation, which has become A massive international money laundering operation For the globalist ruling class, not just the U.S. elites, but also the globalists are cashing in hand over fist in this enterprise in Ukraine. | ||
| So it is no coincidence that Joe Biden is not seeking a diplomatic end to this because, look, he could just throw a switch, send Anthony Blinken over there and begin talks. | ||
| They don't want to because they're all enriching and empowering themselves through this war. | ||
| And everybody on the ground knows it. | ||
| Shame on Lindsey Graham for continuing to try to stoke these fires. | ||
| Monica, hang on for one second. | ||
| We've got Monica Crowley here with us this morning. | ||
| One of the smartest people in the world on these topics. | ||
| Steve Cortez, who I think has a thought or two on this. | ||
| Ben Harnwell from Rome. | ||
| Mike Davis will join us. | ||
| And then later in the hour, we're going to get into the real border that we're concerned about, the southern border of the United States of America and the invasion there, all in the war room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stick around. Okay, welcome back. | |
| We are jammed and we're going to juggle a lot of balls today, but you're going to get it all. | ||
| Cortez, do you have a thought or two about Lindsey Graham, no off-ramp, we had to fully commit to a land war? | ||
| And that's what he's talking about. By the way, in the same time period where Hunter Biden's typing up, Highly classified, top-secret compartmented briefings his father got and giving it to Devin Archer to give to people in Ukraine. | ||
| Remember, and Biden's heading over there after the revolution, the color revolution we overthrew. | ||
| A Putin puppet, but a democratically elected government. | ||
| Remember, Captain Bannon tells you that instead of going to Afghanistan, they divert her immediately, her whole battalion, to go to take, guess what, Abrams' tanks from the United States to the Balkans to forward deploy them. | ||
| This is in 2014. | ||
| Like Monica Crowley said, they didn't think of this last night, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| They did not think of this last night. | ||
| They've been working on this baby for a while. | ||
| Steve Cortez, your thoughts? | ||
| Lindsey Graham is a uniparty hack. | ||
| He is a committed globalist. | ||
| I have no idea why President Trump wants to showpiece him and use him in the beginning of his campaign roadshow. | ||
| Regarding the deployments of US troops, Steve, we just got news that the 101st Airborne is going to be on the border of Ukraine. | ||
| They're in Romania, right on the border of Ukraine. | ||
| They're going to stay there for at least another nine months. | ||
| Thousands of brave troops from the US Army who should be back at Fort Campbell. | ||
| They should be in Kentucky and Tennessee training and living with their families. | ||
| Instead, another nine months on the border of Ukraine. | ||
| Think about how absolutely dangerous this situation is as people like Lindsey Graham continue to stoke escalation. | ||
| They are maximalists who only want escalation in Ukraine. | ||
| Mo went to Iraq out of Fort Campbell with the 101st. | ||
| This is the first time since WW2 that Monica will confirm to me when she comes back on that the Screaming Eagles have ever been forward deployed in Europe. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, get the joke here. | ||
| The powers that be right now, you don't send a CIA director and a chairman of the Joint Chiefs to a non-allied country, remember they're not allies, to give them briefings and to basically tell them you've got to pivot to a bigger, larger tank warfare, maneuver warfare, which is extraordinarily complicated, as every veteran knows. | ||
| To pivot, not trained, right, on any of these tanks, not trained on any of these tanks, but you're going to pivot to a spring offensive to take back Crimea. | ||
| Sevastopol and Yalta, right? | ||
| Not that the Russians think they've got a stake there. | ||
| These guys haven't moved them off a yard yet. | ||
| In eastern Ukraine, they're going to take Crimea. | ||
| This is, and you hear Lindsey Graham with the pom-poms out, nonstop, Steve Cortez. | ||
| Yes, and by the way, if I can also connect the dots here, not only is this incredibly reckless and dangerous, awful for our national security, because, of course, there is no definable vital U.S. national security interest in where the eastern border, which has been movable over decades, where that border should lie. | ||
| There's no U.S. interest. | ||
| But on top of that, Steve, We can't afford this madness. | ||
| We are borrowing these mountains of money that U.S. taxpayer is on the hook to repay to send over to escalate this war in Ukraine. | ||
| Steve, just today as you came to air, we got out new data, the PMI, Purchasing Managers Index, from S &P, and it was miserable once again. | ||
| It was 46.6%. | ||
| On services, anything below 50 is contraction, meaning recession. | ||
| 46.8 on manufacturing, that is the seventh straight month below 50. | ||
| And by the way, to also connect the dots between the domestic US economy and what's going on in Europe, European PMI surprised to the upside. | ||
| It got back above 50. | ||
| They are expanding. | ||
| And we are spending more than the entirety of the EU on Ukraine. | ||
| Think about that. While the United States is in recession, while our economy is the worst in the industrial world, according to PMI, not my opinion, the worst in the world, the only country that comes close to being as bad as the US is the UK, sadly. The two countries that used to lead the world in almost every respect are now the basket cases. | ||
| of the industrialized world. | ||
| So that's the reality. It's terrible for our national security. | ||
| It's risky. It's dangerous. | ||
| On top of it, we can't afford this nonsense, Steve. | ||
| We're going to talk about Politico's got an amazing story about this audience about the Senate is kind of waving off on the debt ceiling discussion because, quote unquote, they took too much heat and they had to push forward the $1.7 trillion. | ||
| But everybody knows we can't afford any of this. | ||
| This is why Ukraine, the money there is going to be cut off to zero until negotiations start. | ||
| Monica Crowley, you said it's all of a piece. | ||
| Continue on with that logic because it's brilliant. | ||
| I think it helps the audience start to comprehend what's going on because the way the news media is just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and Zelensky's, you know, Churchill in a hoodie. | ||
| Ma'am. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the propaganda press loves to compartmentalize stories to keep you distracted and thinking that all of these things are siloed. | ||
| when in fact they're not. | ||
| They're all moving together, and especially when you're dealing with a deeply corrupt president like Joe Biden and his son, who are hip-deep in the Ukrainian situation. | ||
| And now with the classified document scandal, look, Steve, we would not know about these Biden classified documents if the deep state didn't want us to know. | ||
| They want us to know because Joe Biden, the useful idiot, has now outlived his usefulness and they want him gone. | ||
| So they're going to leverage this and make no mistake, you wouldn't know about it if they weren't moving in this direction. | ||
| When you pair it now with Ukraine, look, remember the movie, Wag the Dog? | ||
| And it was applied in many cases to Bill Clinton, who was in deep political trouble here at home even long before Monica Lewinsky. | ||
| But the premise is that a president who is in deep political trouble here at home will create or stoke or escalate an international conflict in order to distract from his problems here at home and try to rally the American people back in support of him. | ||
| And I think what you're seeing here is this longstanding now war with Ukraine where they cannot believe, Steve, the White House, the regime, the military industrial complex, the transnational organizations, all of these players cannot believe that this war has not already escalated because they've thrown everything at it. | ||
| They've made every argument. | ||
| in order to try to draw this thing out, draw the United States into a more escalated position. | ||
| So they can't believe that it hasn't happened. | ||
| And this Crimea move and all of this conversation coming from Lindsey Graham and so many of the other players, There are different motivations here, but again, it's all of a piece. | ||
| They are throwing whatever they have at this thing to try to draw the United States into a more intense kind of role and provoke World War III. They can't believe it hasn't already happened. | ||
| But again, you know, it's less about the strategic parts of this Ukraine war, and it's more about the economic and power moves of this Ukrainian war. | ||
| And now we've got the political element here at home where Joe Biden, in deep political trouble from his own side, they want him gone, may pull a lever to escalate U.S. involvement in Ukraine. | ||
| This is a very dangerous moment. | ||
| Monica, how do people get to your podcast and how do they get to your writings? | ||

|
Always a pleasure, Steve. Thank you, ma'am. | |
| I'm one of the smartest thinkers out there. | ||
| I want to play before I bring in Mike Davis. | ||
| Let's play the Miranda Devine Tucker. | ||
|

|
Go ahead and play it. | |
| Your column today is so amazing. | ||
| Everybody's got to read it. But the point of this, just real quickly, this 22-point memo, you make this brilliant assessment that it was an email sent by Hunter. | ||

| And if it can be proven true, and we think it can be proven true, they're done. | ||
| Mike Davis, we got 30 seconds here and we're going to go to break. | ||
| Is Tucker right if we can prove this as a highly classified document he gave Hunter Biden? | ||
| Is he done, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. It's stolen, classified information that Biden is using to line his family's pockets. | ||
| There's no doubt in your mind as a lawyer that's familiar with the types of security we're talking about. | ||
| I tell you what, I'm going to hold for the answer until we're going to go to a short break. | ||
| We got Mike Davis, we have Cortez, we have Ben over who's following this corruption. | ||
| Remember, nothing happens randomly. | ||
| The accident in the helicopter with the interior minister and then all of a sudden there's a purge of all the corrupt officials. | ||
| Just the corrupt officials. | ||
| They're only getting rid of the corrupt ones. | ||
| Because they understand this audience will not tolerate any more money into the charnel house. | ||
| No more cash into the charnel house of Ukraine. | ||
| None. How about zero? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All next in The War Room. | |
| Okay, um, what is quite evident is that this regime... | ||
| unless they're stopped, And this audience is going to have to stop them. | ||
| There's a huge article up in Politico. | ||
| If the guys in Denver can just pull that for a second. | ||
| A huge article in Politico yesterday about how Mitch McConnell in the Senate are waving off on really any involvement in the debt ceiling negotiation. | ||
| I say McCarthy, it's yours. And the buried lead is Kramer in North Dakota said, hey, he called in so many favors. | ||
| We took so many hits. | ||
| From our voters, that would be you calling up and lighting them up. | ||
| He says, nobody's got any more juice left for this. | ||
| He says he can't do it. | ||
| He says he could not get 60 votes to move anything through that does not have the full backing of the House, and particularly the Freedom Caucus. | ||
| So they can't play any games. | ||
| Can't do anything of Democrats. | ||
| See, this whole thing about getting 10 moderates, Clyburn's about getting eight moderates, all depends upon a pliant Senate. | ||
| It's because of you. You lit these guys up. | ||
| Did we win that one? No. | ||
| But remember, in warfare, it's every battle's got a purpose, okay? | ||
| You served this purpose so far. | ||
| And this gets back to Cortez. | ||
| It's insanity that we're sitting here Having this discussion about a non-sustainable financial... | ||
| Here's the thing. You can't just continue it. | ||
| This is where we got them. You can't continue. | ||
| Show me the model. Show me the plan. | ||
| Because we're not just talking about the money we owe. | ||
| It's the discretionary spending every year. | ||
| And we're not going to raise the debt ceiling one penny. | ||
| We're going to break Biden. | ||
| They're going to have to come to the table and negotiate. | ||
| The first step in a negotiation, the first step is show us the model. | ||
| We're not going to negotiate. | ||
| When we don't know what your math is, show us your math of what you believe cash tax receipts coming in versus the waterfall or the prioritization of payments. | ||
| I understand they hate that term, but baby, that's what it is. | ||
| That's step one. | ||
| Steve Cortez, you do this for a living. | ||
| Can we afford a third world war? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I said last night, You know, Montgomery and Patton, who had no love loss for themselves, who fought, you know, for Market Garden North, Montgomery and Patton in the South. | ||
| If you had told them... | ||
| That we were contemplating, 70 or 80 years later, a land war near Stalingrad and Kursk in basically Russian territory. | ||
| That we were considering a land war. | ||
| They would look like, have you lost your mind? | ||
| Are you absurd? | ||
| This is exactly what American foreign policy way. | ||
| Steve Cortez. Yeah, that we want to go fight in the bloodlands? | ||
| No thank you. No vital U.S. national security interest is at stake. | ||
| Clearly, what we have is a compromised and incredibly politically weak president in the Oval Office who has massively escalated in a conflict with great risk to the United States. | ||
| As we talked about previously, forward-deployed troops, the 101st Airborne, over there in Europe for the first time since World War II. On top of it, not only is it reckless and dangerous, no, we cannot afford it, particularly because of what Joe Biden has done to this economy and what he is doing to our debt scenario right now. | ||
| And I can show this, by the way, with a capital markets reflection. | ||
| If I can tie this back, this geopolitical situation back into capital markets, If we can show chart number one, please. This will show you that it's almost an X of these two stocks. | ||
| In the red is retailers. | ||
| That is the retailer's ETF, the exchange traded funds that puts all the big retailers into one ticker, which is the XRT. As you can see on that chart, it is definably downward. | ||
| That chart goes back a year and a half. | ||
| The world has been terrible for the US consumer. | ||
| That is reflected in the stocks of the retailers. | ||
| Now, the stock that is climbing consistently over the last Year and a half is in the blue there. | ||
| That is Lockheed Martin, the defense giant. | ||
| Just came out with earnings today, which is the reason I thought this was appropriate to show. | ||
| Lockheed Martin blew out its earnings. | ||
| Not very surprising if you're paying attention to what the Biden regime and the Davos set are doing. | ||
| They had $18.99 billion in revenue. | ||
| Expectations were for 18.27. | ||
| So they massively beat. | ||
| To give you the percentages, and for the folks who are only listening, in the last year and a half, XRT, the retailers, the retail sector of the United States, down 27 percent. | ||
| A bear market and then some, and then a lot, down 27 percent. | ||
| Lockheed Martin, over that same period, up 24 percent. | ||
| It is up almost exactly as much as the retailers are down, which is why that chart, unfortunately, forms basically an X. And what that chart shows you, what that X shows you, is where are the priorities of permanent Washington, of the Washington war machine? | ||
| With defense contractors for one thing, but are they with Main Street? | ||
| No, not at all. More than willing to risk American lives potentially at some point, but also willing to absolutely squish the American economy and pile on more debt, borrow more money to escalate a needless war, and pile more debt upon an already totally unsustainable economic model now that interest rates are rising. | ||
| Okay, we got away with this profligacy previously because of what the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world were doing. | ||
| But we knew that that was going to end at some point. | ||
| Well, it is ending with abandon right now. | ||
| So we can't afford it. | ||
| It's incredibly reckless and dangerous. | ||
| And our focus should be on the American economy, should be getting Main Street in America resuscitated economically, not on escalating a war in Eastern Europe. | ||
| Cortez, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're bringing back in Mike Davis. | ||
| Cortez has some pretty harsh words. | ||
| Mike Davis, from the evidence that you have seen so far, do you believe Joe Biden and people around him, his family, or do you agree with Monica Crowley and Steve Cortez? | ||
| Do you believe they're compromised by what you've seen, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. Do we think that people are spending... | ||
| You know, $80,000 a month to hire Hunter Biden for his strategic genius on anything other than Kraken and hookers. | ||
| I mean, it's obvious they're compromised. | ||
| It's obvious with this 22-point email that Miranda Devine exposed that Hunter is using classified information on Ukraine to help the Biden family line their pockets. | ||
| How big a deal? | ||
| Tucker's going to have more on it tonight. | ||
| We're going to have some more. | ||
| We're going to have Rudy on tomorrow to go through details of it. | ||
| This 22-point memo, and if you're getting into the laptop from hell, most of it is Hunter setting up, you know, with these business guys' arrangements, the mathematics in the back of it, very short, or about the girls or the drugs or whatever. | ||
| This is so outside of that. | ||
| It's long. It's detailed. | ||
| Quite frankly, it is stuff you go, wow, I didn't know that. | ||
| And that means this clearly came from a classified briefing. | ||
| I just want to make sure, Mike, because the audience holds you in such high regard. | ||
| And this should be where her is all over. | ||
| This is all he should be doing today. | ||
| If you can prove that this came off of classified briefings or classified material, | ||
| that biden had was briefed on prior to his trip as vice president to ukraine and that hunter biden looked at that saw it or was debriefing us somehow and put that in that memo is uh how serious an offense is that mike davis well it well president biden would have to resign if that if they can prove this if you can link the stolen classified documents To this document and lining the Biden's pockets, | ||
| making millions of dollars off of their stolen classified intel on Ukraine, he'd have to resign. | ||
| This is what gets, much less than this, gets people sent to prison. | ||
| There was a woman who was just sent to prison for merely, she was working for the military in Hawaii, and she took classified documents from her office to her home. | ||
| There was no evidence that she misused the documents, that she just transported them. | ||
| The Biden Justice Department had her put in prison. | ||
| So if you're gonna put someone in prison for just transporting documents from your office to your home, no evidence of misuse, what's the crime? | ||
| What's the espionage crime if you're stealing classified documents and using it to make millions of dollars for your family? | ||
| Biden would have to resign. | ||
|

|
There would be criminal charges. | |
| I just want to make sure. | ||
| You're saying you skipped the whole impeachment thing. | ||
| This was something that the Uniparty would come together. | ||
| He would have to leave. This is the Nixon-type resignation situation in your mind. | ||
| You don't go through some big one-year drawn-out impeachment inquiry or anything like that. | ||
| This is so blatant, so black and white. | ||
| This would lead you and your thinking that this would force a resignation immediately? | ||
| Well, they're barely defending him now. | ||
| The Democrats are barely defending him now. | ||
| If this came out that Biden used... | ||
| That Hunter Biden used stolen classified records for this 22-point presentation to make money in Ukraine for the Biden family. | ||
| There's no question that people like Dick Durbin would call on Joe Biden to resign. | ||
| Mike, one more thing before I let you go. | ||
| We're going to get the timeline for people so they understand this. | ||
| And this gets to the key point that Mike Davis has brought up from day one, and particularly from the afternoon of 8 August. | ||
| Don't ever forget 8 August, the jackbooted raid by the FBI down in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Mike Davis, as one of the original people that was brought in by the great Bob Costello and Rudy Giuliani to look at the laptop from hell because of the CCP, the obviously massive financial compromise by the Chinese Communist Party, the Biden family. | ||
| This laptop from hell was in the possession of Christopher Wray and Bill Barr in December of 2019. | ||
| Christopher Wray and the FBI and Bill Barr and the DOJ people and all the counterintelligence and everything, they knew when they went through this laptop, because they went through it, they knew immediately that that 22-point memo came off of classified intelligence. | ||
| Why, in your mind, has the FBI and the DOJ not done this earlier? | ||
| Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warner. | ||
| Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee before Iowa, before New Hampshire, in December of 2019, before the primary season really got kicked off underway by the Democrats. | ||
| Christopher Wray at the FBI. Bill Barr and DOJ had the laptop with all the teams they've got and all the sophistications. | ||
| It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that memo right away and understand it came off of classified material. | ||
| Why did DOJ and FBI, we're now in January of 2023, why did they not move immediately, sir? Because the FBI is corrupted to its core, you have these people in the FBI leadership in Washington, D.C., and the key field offices like the Washington field office, in addition to the headquarters, | ||
| who are Democrat operatives who use their positions of power to go after Trump and people who oppose the uniparty regime, and then they use their power to protect the Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons, anyone who's part of that uniparty regime. | ||
| So the FBI is corrupted. | ||
| Wouldn't it be nice if House Republicans controlled the Committee of Jurisdiction over the Justice Department, the House Judiciary Committee. Oh wait, I thought we just won back the House of Representatives and we've known since November 8th that we won back the House of Representatives. | ||
| Here we are two and a half months later and we still have an investigation? | ||
| What is Jim Jordan waiting for, right? | ||
| Given the information that's come out the last 48 hours, what is Jim Jordan waiting for? | ||
| There should be subpoenas flying all over the city this morning, everywhere, including getting Bill Barr and Chris Brown. | ||
| Remember, I just want everybody to understand something here. | ||
| We talk about the deep state of the administrative state. | ||
| This was on Trump's, this was Trump's attorney general and handpicked head of the FBI. This was in December of 19, after they'd already come after, after the apparatus had already come after Trump. | ||
| Why are subpoenas not flying right now, Mike Davis? | ||
| Well, don't worry, because we have Robert Herr on the case. | ||
| Robert Herr, the protege of Chris Wray and Rod Rosenstein and James Comey, is the special counsel investigating all this. | ||
| So the lawyer for the deep state, the long-time lawyer for the deep state, is investigating all this, so everything's going to be fine. | ||
| Jim Jordan needs to start issuing subpoenas. | ||
| We know he can tweet. | ||
| He's proven that for many years, that he can tweet. | ||
| Let's see if he can issue a subpoena here because I think it's important for the House Judiciary Committee, the committee with oversight responsibilities over the Justice Department to get moving. | ||
| Remember, we had to hurry up and elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House so we didn't slow down the oversight agenda in the House of Representatives. | ||
| Where the hell is the oversight agenda? | ||
| Where are the subpoenas, Jim Jordan? | ||
| Mike, give me your social media. | ||
| Where do people go to follow you? | ||
| Article3project.org, Article3project.org, at Article3project, and my personal is MRDDMIA. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, brother. | ||

| Ben Harnwell, corruption in the Ukraine. | ||
| We've talked about this from even before this war started. | ||
| And now because this audience has said, hey, with the fight over Kevin McCarthy, no more money for Ukraine. | ||
| And MTG came up and said, hey, we must audit. | ||
| We must audit Ukraine. All of a sudden, Ben, all they're talking about in Ukraine is this huge purge of all the corrupt officials. | ||
| That zero tolerance. | ||
| Remember that concept. | ||
| Zero tolerance. | ||
| Zero tolerance for corruption among the oligarchs. | ||
| Ben Harnwell from Rome. | ||
| Speaking, I think, on behalf of the whole war room posse, Steve, we're shocked. | ||
| Shocked at this corruption going on in Ukraine. | ||
| Basically, the headline fact here is a dozen or so people have been dismissed Or have resigned. | ||
| The Ukraine defense minister is under fire. | ||
| His deputy has resigned. | ||
| Three deputies, ministers for communities and territories have all resigned. | ||
| But most interestingly, look, we said, right, we said all along that this grift is going to be about the amount of money that's passing through the president's office. | ||
| So interesting. And this one, I mean, I won't bother listing all the names because they're all unpronounceable. | ||
| But here, Kirill Timochenska, who's the deputy chief of staff for Zelensky, he's also resigned. | ||
| We have said right from the beginning that this is all about taking the slice. | ||
| We call the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Tenpersensky for a reason. | ||
| It's all about taking a slice of all the money that is passing through the president's office. | ||
| And this is how high the corruption goes. | ||
| But Steve, let's just unpack this one moment. | ||
| Because whilst it is true that the whole of the Ukrainian regime is riven, with corruption. There's something more going on here, and I think you were absolutely correct to mention the name of the Interior Minister, Denis Monasterisky, who was killed in the helicopter crash last week. | ||
| Now, interesting, Steve, that to this day, the Ukrainian government hasn't offered an explanation. | ||
| If it were the case that this helicopter just stopped working and fell out of the sky, That is possible because a helicopter was made in France. | ||
| It would have been to miss a PR coup for Zelensky not to blame the Russians for that. | ||
| He hasn't done. Why not? | ||
| Why not blame the Russians? | ||
| He was there crying his eyes out on Saturday at the funeral. | ||
| Why not blame the Russians? | ||
| Perhaps it's because the ambiguity of the situation is absolutely what is necessary at this moment. | ||
| Why? It's just like in the CCP where they execute people for corruption when everybody is corrupt. | ||
| What's going on here? It's a purge, Steve. | ||
| It's an old-fashioned purge under the pretext of anti-corruption because he wants to keep all of his Western sugar daddies on side. | ||
| And why now? What's going on in the regime? | ||
| Well, using our good old-fashioned Kremlinology here, it would appear to be that the opposition has now reached It's such a level to the way Zelensky is running this war that his position is now becoming untenable, especially if, as you've been saying, the Americans close the spigots on the cash coming in, | ||
| because the whole reason for this regime's existence now is war and the grift that goes on the back of that. | ||
| If the money stops, then basically the country is smashed to smithereens, and there's no reason for 10 % to be sitting at the top of the apex. | ||
| So what I would suggest is going on here is a purge, because the resistance to his regime has now reached that level. | ||
| There's also a difference in strategy here right now. | ||
| You've had the head of the CIA. You've had the head of the CIA. You've had the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. | ||
| You've had all this in Kiev last week talking strategy. | ||
| Zelensky, for a whole bunch of reasons, wants to keep the siege warfare. | ||
| Going in Bakhmut. | ||
| And the Americans are sitting there saying that we'll provide tanks and other equipment to have a broader offensive in the spring against Crimea. | ||
| How big a deal is this going to be, Ben? | ||
| Well, you know, the thing here that absolutely terrified me was Boris Johnson a couple of days ago over the weekend participating in Switzerland with all of his fellow Davostitutes. | ||
| He, in what authority, it was never made clear, pledged continuing existence on behalf of the UK to the Ukraine regime, but said interestingly that Putin is not going to resort to nuclear weapons. | ||
| And the question is obviously, well, how do you know this? | ||
| If your whole shtick, sociopathic overlords, is that Putin is crazy. | ||
| And if your whole shtick is that he's about to, is he dead? | ||
| Is he still alive? Is he going to die? | ||
| If you're going to push a guy who's crazy, right, who's got nothing left to live for into a corner, what does he have left to lose by taking the whole thing down with him? | ||
| He would have absolutely nothing to lose if those criteria were true. | ||
| Of course, if they weren't true, I mean, the reason we're saying he's crazy is because we don't sit down and negotiate with him. | ||
| But if that's the situation, you've got to ask yourself, Boris Johnson and all of his fellow Davos prostitutes, this is the degree to which they need to be loved and adored. | ||
| They will risk nuclear war. | ||
| Ben, just hang on for a second. | ||
| We're going to take a short 90-second break. | ||
| Cortez Benharm where we're going to go out to California in just a second. | ||
