Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're just not going to 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 try 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. | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Baskin. | |
| The hammer and sickle of the Soviet Union slashing at Hitler's military arrogance, pounding | ||
| the battered remains of his encircled divisions. | ||
| the Soviet Union. | ||
| you This is a newsreel record of what may prove to have been the turning point of the war on the Eastern Front, perhaps the turning point of the whole war, with men of the Red Army finishing off the would-be conquerors of Stalingrad, mopping up German survivors in and around Stalingrad, finally crushing every point of resistance. | ||
| Lieutenant General Blatov greets General Rokossovsky and Marshal Voronov. | ||
| of. | ||
| Grokosovsky, the famous Don Front commander, Voronov representing the Soviet High Command. | ||
| Two of the leaders who won a victory that will not be forgotten so long as war itself is remembered. | ||
| The battle is drawing to a close. | ||
| Russian artillerymen fire point-blank at the last stronghold of Germany's doomed battalions. | ||
| The hammer and sickle of the Red Army can be seen at the rear of the battle tank. | ||
| The hammer and sickle of the Red Army completely broke down the enemy's will to fight, and the Russians are reaping the reward of their gigantic | ||
| efforts as at point after point, whole detachments of German troops give themselves up. | ||
| Now the white flag of capitulation has taken the place of the crooked cross. | ||
| The survivors of a German army of over 300,000 officers and men have had enough. | ||
| And that goes for the surviving German generals, too. | ||
| Here they come. | ||
| Lieutenant General von Daniel, commander of the 376th Infantry Division, surrenders with what's left of his force. | ||
| Okay, welcome. | ||
| Saturday, 28 January in the year of our Lord 2023. | ||
| Remember that, January of 2023. | ||
| 80 years ago, in January 1943, we're going to get to all of that in a moment. | ||
| We're going to go from the bloodlands of Ukraine and Russia and Belarus to New Hampshire. | ||
| President Trump's going to give a speech today. | ||
| That speech is not going to start at 11 o'clock. | ||
| It's going to start at noon. | ||
| We're doing the pregame on this. | ||
| We have Heather Mullins of Real America's Voice on the scene. | ||
| And we're going to cover this in its entirety. | ||
| It's going to be really the kickoff speech. | ||
| And I think it's going to be direct and to the point. | ||
| And let's say I think it's one of the more important speeches that President Trump is going to give. | ||
| So I want everybody to hang on for that. | ||
| We're going to do a live analysis and lead up to it. | ||
| First, I've got two of the smartest guys I know, Colonel John Mills and Jack Posobiec, both from the intel community. | ||
| I guess Colonel Mills was second deed to the intel community, but that's good enough. | ||
| Those who don't understand history are condemned to repeat it. | ||
| And we are heading into something that is extremely dangerous, scary, and going to be very tough to change course. | ||
| And this is going to suck up. | ||
| And don't focus on everything the media is talking about, about all the misdirection plays, all the shiny toys they're putting out there. | ||
| That they want you to focus on. | ||
| Right now, the national security apparatus, the administrative state of the United States and its deep state rogue elements, of which Elise Stefanik is in the New York Post today, John Levin's got an amazing exclusive story, and she's no firebrand. | ||
| She's saying that the intelligence community of the United States has committed multiple crimes and that the weaponization of government subcommittee or committee is going to get to it, which he's on. | ||
| I want to start with Jack Posovic. | ||
| Jack, now the foreign minister said yesterday there's 321... | ||
| We now know what the scale of this is. | ||
| There's 321... | ||
| Tanks have been committed by various NATO groups, including the biggest is the Leopard 2 tank from Germany, and of course the Abrams tank. | ||
| 80 years ago, people should understand this, at Stalingrad, the German army surrendered on Tuesday 80 years ago. | ||
| Field Marshal Polis, who I think got promoted today 80 years ago, Because they thought a promotion to field marshal would make them stand and fight and die, was preparing a last offensive to see if there's anything to do, and then they surrendered in the bloodlands. | ||
| And people have to understand, this was the center of the fighting in the most vicious war in world history. | ||
| This was the most vicious and biggest place. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, are we sleepwalking? | ||
| Into something that's very dangerous and really committing tank warfare, maneuver warfare, back into the bloodlines where General Marshall, General Patton, General Montgomery, General Omar Bradley, you name them, you pick them, General Eisenhower. | ||
| Under no circumstances ever conceived of, you'd have American assets and American resources in a land war in Eurasia. | ||
| And particularly, and I want everybody to understand this, because Holocaust Memorial Day was on Friday. | ||
| They didn't even know Joe Scarborough and those guys over there. | ||
| You've got to understand who ended the Holocaust was the American army, the British army, but the Russian people. | ||
| Not the communists and not Khrushchev, not these guys of Stalingrad, the political officers, the Russian people. | ||
| You're about, Pasoba, help me out here. | ||
| We're about to actually have American tanks rolling across the bloodlands with German tanks with iron crosses on it on the 80th anniversary of Kursk and Stalingrad and Volgograd and all that, | ||
| sir? Steve, as a guy of Polish descent, and as everybody knows, my wife was born in the Soviet Union, you know, my wife's grandmother is actually still alive, and she was about nine and ten years old during World War II, so she remembers it. | ||
| And she sat down, and I've got recordings of her that we just sat down for about an hour once, and she told us all about it, and she speaks a very Rural dialect of Belarusian, but I was able to record it and of course Tanya can speak it so we're translating it, but the one phrase that sticks out in my mind that she says, every blade of grass was covered in blood for four years. | ||
| I've traveled throughout Belarus where we were. | ||
| We actually got our engagement photos done at a chapel that's right next to This is the exact spot where Operation Barbarossa was launched that kicked off the Eastern Front. | ||
| This is when the Nazis and the Soviets rumbled the last time the German tanks rolled on Eastern Europe. | ||
| The Eastern Front, for those who haven't paid attention to that part of the war, just go watch Enemy at the Gates, go read the fantastic book on Stalingrad, This was the largest military confrontation in human history. | ||
| Unprecedented ferocity, whole-scale destruction, the deportations, the death marches, the extermination camps. | ||
| And when you hear, you say that to any Eastern European, that the German tanks are coming again, that sends, it's like a lightning bolt through your backside, right through your spine, to say it's It's opening up again because there are people that are still alive today, like my wife's grandmother, my children's great grandmother, that lived through the death of 30 million soldiers and civilians just on the Eastern Front. | ||
| This is something that what that does to a people, to a culture, to a country, to an area that is completely unforgettable. | ||
| The pogroms, the ghettos, all of it. | ||
| That's what it conjures back up. | ||
| When you talk about Germans, I don't know if they still have the Iron Crosses on there, but this loss of life, the starvation, the exposure, the massacres that took place. | ||
| And you mentioned, of course, we just had the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and Polish Arsensum. | ||
| This is all happening at the same time. | ||
| This is all happening at the same time. | ||
| And that is why some of these areas like You hear the same words again, the same names. | ||
| The Battle of Azov, the Battle of Kharkov, the Battle of Dnepr, the Battle of Kiev, the Battle of Kursk, the Battle of Donbas, the Second Battle of Donbas. | ||
| These are the exact same areas that were fought over in that war. | ||
| And for the people of this area, they are galvanized now. | ||
| They are galvanized about this thing because what it looks like is that NATO has declared war on Russia. | ||
| And look, I've got two little kids. | ||
| I don't want to get into who started it. | ||
| I want to find out how we don't reopen the Eastern Front because, Steve, there is a big difference between 80 years ago and today. | ||
| You know what that difference is? | ||
| That difference is nuclear weapons. | ||
| And the fact that President Trump is giving a speech today I think is no coincidence, right? | ||
| There are no conspiracies. | ||
| There are coincidences. | ||
| And I think That President Trump is one of the only people on the world stage right now calling for peace because he understands the briefing that comes when you understand the escalation with a nuclear power. | ||
| By the way, President Trump's speech today is going to have, I think, a big part about the Ukraine war. | ||
| And President Trump is the only person of any stature that can be a peacemaker in being a dealmaker. | ||
| You know, people in the United States think that, particularly the younger generation, think that the whole World War II is Pearl Harbor, Normandy, and the Holocaust. | ||
| Okay? Our involvement and the bravery and valor Of the greatest generation is unquestionable. | ||
| What they did from Guadalcanal to Saipan to Guam to the island hopping, what they did, the 8th Air Corps, in fact, today, 80 years ago today, they were unloading in precision daylight bombing, the most dangerous of all, over the industrial base of the Ruhr, right? The bravery of North Africa, of submarine warfare, of the North Atlantic, all of it, incredible. | ||
| Normandy, the landings breaking out. | ||
| Go watch Band of Brothers. | ||
| Watch Band of Brothers. | ||
| But World War II was won on the mainland China of bleeding out the Japanese Imperial Army with about 35 million Laobaijin casualties. | ||
| And the Russian people destroying essentially the Wehrmacht. | ||
| These battles on the Eastern Front, the Siege of Leningrad. | ||
| The drive to Moscow, the battle in Kursk, the battle of Stalingrad. | ||
| These are the biggest, most vicious battles in world history. | ||
| People have to understand something because from Stud Terkel's book, you had this concept of the good war. | ||
| And yes, our cause was righteous. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. But if you look at the war... | ||
| The war worked its way up to a war of annihilation. | ||
| Annihilation. And this is the law of unintended consequences, what happens when it's this vicious and this brutal and this bloody. | ||
| At the end of it, it was an outright war of annihilation. | ||
| Annihilation. We are in uncharted territory here by doing this. | ||
| I've got Jack Posobiec, Naval Intelligence, Colonel John Mills, Formerly with the Secretary of Defense Office for Intelligence. | ||
| We're going to break down everything before President Trump's speech. | ||
| I think President Trump is going to come at this hard today. | ||
| Ukraine war. And that's before he has his South Carolina soiree with Lindsey Graham. | ||
| Mini-me warmonger. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||

Back in the warm in a moment. After months of stalemate in the battle for Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, Russia has a victory to celebrate. | |
| The town of Solidar, a few miles to the north of Bakhmut, has fallen to the Kremlin's forces. | ||
| Russia hopes this is a stepping stone to capturing Bakhmut itself before pushing on to take the rest of the region. | ||
| But the win has been brutal, bloody, caused infighting in the Kremlin and is far from the breakthrough that Moscow claims. | ||
| Here we look at how Russia took the town and the price they paid for it. | ||
| Solidar is a small town in eastern Ukraine, about seven miles north of the key crossroads city of Bakhmut. | ||
| It is located in Donetsk Oblast, one of four Ukrainian regions that Putin has claimed as his own and vowed to capture. | ||
| Heavy fighting has been going on there since August, with Russia unable to break through Ukraine's defenses for months. | ||
| But on January 12th, the Kremlin's commanders claimed the town as their own. | ||
| The wind moved the front line forwards just a few miles, but was celebrated in victory-starved Moscow as evidence that everything is going according to Putin's master plan. | ||
| But the advance has come at a huge cost. | ||
| 20,000 Russian troops may have been killed fighting in Soledar and Bakhmut, according to one of President Zelensky's advisers. | ||
| Conditions on the battlefield have been described as hellish, reminiscent of the darkest days of the First World War. | ||
| Almost all trees and buildings have been destroyed, meaning Ukrainian troops were dug into trenches for protection. | ||
| They were subjected day and night to withering artillery fire before Russian troops charged forward in an attempt to overrun their lines. | ||
| Ukrainian officials describe soldiers running around and over the bodies of their dead comrades in hopeless attacks. | ||
| Autumn rains reduced the battlefield to a muddy quagmire reminiscent of Passchendaele, while winter brought temperatures down to minus 20 Celsius. | ||
| Drones captured footage of Russian soldiers freezing to death in shallow foxholes, while the vicious cold made combat wounds much deadlier. | ||
| The attacks were spearheaded by the Wagner Group, a private military company The Russian president dubbed Putin's chef. | ||
| His troops are known for brutality and a complete lack of morals, hired straight out of Russian prisons or from recruits dismissed by the regular Russian military. | ||
| In Soledad, they have been mixed in with what is left of Russia's paratrooper units and its newly mobilized men and used as cannon fodder. | ||
| This has caused infighting between Pregosian and his bitter rivals in the Russian Ministry of Defense over who exactly is responsible for the victory. | ||
| As the news that Solidar had fallen began to spread in Russian media, Prigozhin said the win belonged to Wagner, and Wagner alone. | ||
| That was contradicted by the Russian Ministry of Defense, which insisted its troops had led the attack. | ||
| After a day of back and forth, the Ministry of Defense suddenly backed down and credited Wagner, following a meeting between Prigozhin and Putin. | ||
| But the Wagner boss has not had everything his own way. | ||
| General Suravykin, who had been in charge of the war in Ukraine for the last three months, was suddenly demoted, just as Sonodar was falling. | ||
| Suravykin, an ally of Prigozhin, was replaced by General Gerasimov, overall head of the Russian Armed Forces and a Ministry of Defense loyalist. | ||
| The move suggests that victory in Sonodar has fractured the fragile balance of power inside the Kremlin, with Prigozhin rising perhaps a bit too far and too fast for Putin's liking. | ||
| The Russian president, typically a master at playing off factions against one another to his own benefit, may now feel threatened by a monster of his own making. | ||
| For all of Moscow's bragging, taking Solidar is a modest game, at the best, for months of hard and bloody fighting. | ||
| Ukraine continues to insist that Russia is not even in control of the whole town, as their soldiers still hold positions in the outskirts. | ||
| True, they have taken valuable salt mines, which Progozhin will use to store men and equipment away from Ukrainian high miles. | ||
| And it also opens the door for troops to attack Bakhmut from the north. | ||
| But the victory there is far from guaranteed. | ||
| And even if Russia's exhausted troops do take Bakhmut, they will still be a long way from capturing the whole of Donetsk. | ||
| Each man they lose in that effort will be one less to hold back the Ukrainian counterattack that is brewing, which will now be armed with British Challenger tanks. | ||
| Bleeding Russia dry in Donbas, then attacking elsewhere, has already allowed Ukraine to liberate much of the Kharkiv region and the city of Kherson. | ||
| It could turn out that Russia has won this battle, but in doing so, has lost the war. | ||
| Okay, Jack Posobiec, Colonel Mills joins us. | ||
| A couple of takeaways there. | ||
| 20,000 casualties. | ||
| 20,000 casualties. | ||
| Also talking about the Wagner Group, and they refer to this as Poshendale, which is one of the bloodiest battles in World War I. This is the type of analogies people are making. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, Wagner Group. | ||
| Is Wagner Group the new Waffen SS, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, of course, we're listening to the British tabloid, extremely pro-Ukrainian version of events, so it wouldn't surprise me to see inflated numbers. | ||
| It wouldn't surprise me to see, of course, the UK has always been viewing Russia as their greatest adversary since, really, World War I. Even regardless of the alliance during the time to go after Germany, they've always viewed this as part of the great game, so it doesn't surprise me that they're going to use numbers like that. | ||
| To compare them to the Waffen-SS, I don't necessarily know that I would do that just because I don't necessarily want to compare any group to a group that took part in the Holocaust. | ||
| I think that's a singular event and I wouldn't necessarily draw those conclusions, but certainly it brings up references to the NKVD. It brings up thoughts of Spetsnaz, some of the fighting that we saw in Chechnya, and of course, | ||
| by the way, Prigozhin, who was the leader of, at least the political leader of Wagner, and Dmitry Utkin, the military commander of Wagner, both cut their teeth in both Chechnya and the fighting that went through there in Grozny, | ||
| where they just leveled city after city in order to take that land, and then also went down and are really credited with turning around Syria and basically making sure that the Assad regime was able to continue in Syria. | ||
| Not only was it Fagner Group, but also the new commander of the Russian Special Military Operation, Sergei Sorovkin. | ||
| He is the general that Putin sent to Syria back in 2015, 2016, when ISIS was really taking control of that area. | ||
| It was he who was sent down in order to just completely level any ISIS stronghold, and that's exactly what he did. | ||
| Serovkin is now, just a few months ago, I believe in October, was placed as the new leader of what they're calling the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. | ||
| And that's really when you saw this dramatic pullback from Kherson across the Dnieper River. | ||
| That's when you saw the pullback in Kharkov. | ||
| That's where you see this new methodical calculating approach And they do mention this in the British tabloid piece that you just played, the four regions, the oblasts, that Putin specifically annexed. | ||
| You're talking Kherson, Zaporizhia, Lugansk, and Donetsk. | ||
| Lugansk province has pretty much already been taken over by Russia. | ||
| It's the other ones that are still outstanding. | ||
| Those are the ones, and by the way, Some of those areas, some of those oblasts do extend to the other side of the Dnieper River. | ||
| So when my brother and I were there in Nikolayev, we were very, very close to the western flank of Kherson at that point. | ||
| By the way, Zaporizhia is the exact same area where they have that nuclear power plant. | ||
| I know you've got a punch, but I've got to bring up the Americans. | ||
| We had the head of the CIA there, Alexander Burns. | ||
| We had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. | ||
| Then Austin went over to make the pitch to the NATO group. | ||
| The Americans say, we're going to get you tanks. | ||
| We're going to come in with Abrams tanks. | ||
| In fact, we may take them away from the Taiwanese on the production line. | ||
| It's been reported by Politico. | ||
| The Germans are going to bring the ones with the iron crosses on it, the Leopard 2s. | ||
| The British are going to give what the challenger is. | ||
| And the foreign minister, some guy leaked yesterday, it's 321 battle tanks. | ||
| But we want you to change your strategy. | ||
| What we want to do is go in and maneuver combined arms warfare, the most complicated in the world. | ||
| And by the way, we're going to throw some F-16 jets in there too. | ||
| Right in long-range missiles. | ||
| But we want you to pivot because they're backing this fantasy about go back and take pivot south and go take Crimea. | ||
| Sevastopol and Yalta, go take Crimea. | ||
| And while we're at it, why don't we swing by Odessa? | ||
| Jack Posobiec, in the escalation of this conflict for it to spin out of control, is anything more dangerous than that for the Americans to be pushing the Ukrainians to do this, sir? | ||
| That's a suicide run. | ||
| The Russians are never going to give up Crimea. | ||
| They certainly would never consider giving that up. | ||
| That is their warm water port in the Black Sea. | ||
| You just mentioned that's where the Yalta conference took place. | ||
| This is some of the areas. This is the land they took back from the Ottomans. | ||
| They are never going to give up Crimea. | ||
| Putin has said in no unequivocal terms that he will go nuclear. | ||
| If it looks like Crimea will fall, he's basically driven that line. | ||
| And you saw the response when the Crimea bridge was attacked. | ||
| He just rained down cruise missiles all across Ukraine after this. | ||
| What you're also seeing though, Steve, is this idea that we are going to demilitarize ourselves. | ||
| We're going to demilitarize any possible defense or any credible deterrence we'd have vis-a-vis the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan Island in order to make sure That our interests, which I'm still trying to figure out what exactly America's interests are in what I just mentioned, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Lugansk, and Donetsk, which I'm sure if you walked up and down the street in any American city, people wouldn't be able to find on the map why it is that we're demilitarizing ourselves. | ||
| By the way, if you go look at Reuters, they got to piece up American arms sales up 49 % the exports in 2022. | ||
| So, of course, there's obviously a financial incentive here as well. | ||
| Jack, I know you've got to bounce. | ||
| How do people get to Human Events Daily? | ||
| Charlie's going to come out with something special over the weekend. | ||
| We've got to have 30 seconds. How do people get to all your content over the weekend until you back live on Monday? | ||
| Yeah, Human Events Daily. We've got a huge special up tomorrow all about what we call the Singapore option, the return of corporal punishment. | ||
| Why is it that when Singapore took crime seriously, they were able to clean up their land, and Lee Kuan Yew was able to turn it into one of the shining cities in the world? | ||
| Jack Basovic, thank you for your analysis. | ||
| Appreciate you taking time away from the family. | ||
| Thank Tanya for all her input and her family's input about what's going on. | ||
| Okay, Colonel Mills is going to join us. | ||
| Burquam's down in the Darien Gap. | ||
| The charnel house of the bloodlands. | ||
| Unbelievable. The only way it stops is President Trump. | ||
| And this audience has to have his back. | ||
| Today in New Hampshire. | ||
| All next in The War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's take care of the CCP! Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | |
| Okay, welcome back. I want everybody to understand, I understand there's a lot of bitterness and a lot of anger, and there should be, about what happened yesterday in Dana Point. | ||
| All I can tell you is there are a lot of things going on, and we're going to be able to bring people on here, maybe not this morning, but Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, but there's a lot going on. | ||
| I think there are people that are very involved in all of that. | ||
| That it's just, how do I say? | ||
| It's just not going to be the way forward. | ||
| It just can't be. Because that's just, you know, you're just spinning your wheels. | ||
| You're not making progress. And so for everybody out there in our vast audience, understand there's a lot going on. | ||
| And we'll be able to, you know, bring this forward in a more, how to say, coherent way over the next couple of days. | ||
| But understand that people have been working nonstop Since that vote went down, we're just not going to go back to a group hug. | ||
| Can't. Impossible. This is all about you have to win. | ||
| You've seen the changes in the House right now about taking the House and these victories so far, and they're all going to be hard fought. | ||
| The debt ceiling, all of it. | ||
| Huge battles. President Trump's kickoff today I think is going to be quite important. | ||
| To galvanize really the thinking about directionally where we go from the southern border to the debt ceiling to this insane kinetic war in the bloodlands. | ||
| And then about the CCP and the defense of Taiwan and taking down the CCP, all of it. | ||
| Let me bring you Colonel Mill. | ||
| By the way, I've got Burquam's in Darien Gap. | ||
| Incredible coverage down there, investigative report. | ||
| We've got Naomi coming up on the vaccine. | ||
| We've got a lot going on today. And prepping for the speech by President Trump that really essentially kicks off his campaign. | ||
| This is the first... Actual event is a convention up in New Hampshire of the New Hampshire GOP. And then later today, he's in South Carolina. | ||
| OK, so let's go to Colonel Mills. | ||
| Colonel Mills, 80 years ago, the and what we're going to try to make sure we do every day is for this audience because they're force multipliers to understand. | ||
| That the history of World War II, whereas maybe people in the United States don't remember it, or they see a mini-series like, you know, about the 101st Airborne Band of Brothers, and something like that hits the, every year we go back to Normandy, and if there's any more of the greatest generation still there, they're honored. But for people in that part of the world, it's a living thing, right? | ||
| It hasn't gone away, and one of the reasons it hasn't gone away is the hungry ghost Of that era, the scale of this conflict there, the brutality of it, the inhumanity of it, it will scar people and will leave deep spiritual impressions for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. | ||
| Colonel Mills, your assessment, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. People forget Stalingrad, now Volgograd. | |
| That was six months of grinding bloodletting between Army Group South Polis and the Russian forces. | ||
| A number of Russian generals. Zhukov is the one. | ||
| But it was grinding. | ||
| And at that time, and simultaneously during that battle from August of 42 to February of 43, you had El Alamein. | ||
| Finally, the British stopped Rommel in November of 42. | ||
| But this was all grinding, grinding. | ||
| In Stalingrad. And this loss, the Russians essentially, they won, pushed back, Polis had to surrender, but their losses were like five to seven to one, even in their victory, which ground up their armor, their aircraft, their personnel. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Don't bury the lead. | ||
| This is how the Russians fight. | ||
| That's what they're in attrition warfare right now. | ||
| They talk about the recruits. He's scaling up. | ||
| They don't care. This is how they fight. | ||
| They don't care if they lose 5-7-1. | ||
| This is how they fought Napoleon. | ||
| This is how they fought Hitler. They 10-1? | ||
| I don't care. Hey, they're going to go. | ||
| Nikita Khrushchev, who eventually became prime minister, people remember him banging the shoe on the table in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Brinksmanship, trying to put offensive nuclear weapons into Cuba 90 minutes from 90 miles off the coast, but a couple of seconds to hit a minute or 90 seconds to hit Washington, D.C. Khrushchev was the political officer when they were losing. | ||
| Exactly. They deployed him down there. | ||
| And what he did is, you know what he did? | ||
| He took the generals that were retreating, commissar, and he shot the generals. | ||
| They were shooting, not the enlisted, the paths of glory of the shooting enlisted guys. | ||
| They were shooting generals right there and field officers. | ||
| Shot them right there. You back up an inch, you're shot. | ||
| They shot these. This is a whole different level. | ||
| America's not used to this type of war. | ||
| He went down and was shooting the field commanders and said, you don't have a choice. | ||
| The Germans promoted Paulus over this weekend to a field marshal because they said no field marshal has ever been captured. | ||
| You're going to have to die in battle or kill yourself. | ||
| This is a level of brutality that America and the United States is not used to, and we're in it now. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody understands we are supplying tanks, battle tanks, to get into a land tank war in the same place where the Wehrmacht and the Russian army fought 80 years ago. | ||
| And people 80 years ago, Patton and Montgomery and Eisenhower and Marshall and all of them. | ||
| When Omar Bradley was sat there and go, have you lost your mind? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| This is a charnel house, Colonel Mills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and February of 43 was America's first contact with the Russian army at Kasserine Pass. | |
| So just as the Germans were surrendering in Stalingrad, we tasted our first contact and it did not go well for us. | ||
| So we got the military term is schwacked. | ||
| It was bad. That's where they had to get rid of a lot of generals. | ||
| Eisenhower had to sack a lot of generals. | ||
| And had to bring up Bradley, had to bring up this crazy guy named Pat. | ||
| We didn't meet the Russians. | ||
| We met the Germans. That's where Rommel got the thing of the Kazarin Pass. | ||
|

|
With the Germans. | |
| Yes. German Army. | ||
| Yeah, German Army. | ||
| Talk to me about today about, as you see it as an intel guy, what exactly is happening here in Ukraine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a sideshow. | |
| We just had December and January a dry run of carrier warfare in the Pacific as the two active Chinese carriers ran amok and the Nimitz and the Reagan attempted to challenge them. | ||
| People dismiss these two carriers. | ||
| There's three and four on the way. | ||
| As soon as carrier three is ready, I think that's really, as soon as that's fully operational, that's the thing. | ||
| And they can move their carriers with their long-range missiles in support of them. | ||
| We don't have these kind of the DF-26 missiles. | ||
| So it's a distraction. | ||
| It saps the National Security Council of decision-making capacity. | ||
| It saps the DOD of decision-making capacity. | ||
| We're not paying attention to the Chinese fentanyl wave coming across the southern border. | ||
| We're not getting ready For China in the Pacific. | ||
| So this is, these 31 tanks, the number one thing we need to be deploying to the Ukraine is Inspector General and staff. | ||
| Hold, hold, hold, hold. Politico is reporting that the production line, I think the production line is in Dayton, I think it's Dayton, Ohio. | ||
| production line, they're pulling... | ||
| Lima, Lima, excuse me, in Lima, they're supposedly, the Taiwanese say, whoa, whoa, whoa, a bunch of those tanks on the production line are ours, right, for the defense of Taiwan. | ||
| They're jumping ahead, the Ukrainian order may jump in front of that. | ||
| By the way, there's a four-star Air Force general. | ||
| That's NBC News, if Denver can put that up. | ||
| He's telling his commanders, we're going to be in a shooting war with the Chinese Communist Party in Taiwan no later than NLT. 2025. | ||
| Get ready and we're going to take quote unquote shots to the head. | ||
| Okay? For the Air Force. | ||
| They're already getting ready for this. | ||
| Kinetic war. A kinetic war with the Chinese Communist Party over Taiwan. | ||
|

|
Colonel Mills. Yeah, he's the head of Air Mobility Command. | |
| I mean, excuse me, Transportation Command. | ||
| Transportation Command. And they're going to be the tip of the sphere as we generate our 5000 series war plans to defend Taiwan and the Second Island chain. | ||
| I mean, we're ramping up. | ||
| We're building big radar facility on Palau. | ||
| We're reopening Wake and Midway. | ||
| I mean, we're reopening Tinian and Saipan. | ||
| We got to focus on that. | ||
| So the tanks to Ukraine are a distraction. | ||
| We need to be deploying an inspector general and an inspection staff to the Ukraine to determine exactly what's going on with all of our resources. | ||
| That's job one in the Ukraine. | ||
| These tanks are a distraction. | ||
| So we need to get ready in the Pacific. | ||
| That's the big show, the main game. | ||
| But that's the problem. | ||
| It distracts the National Security Council. | ||
| Jake Sullivan is spending all his time counting tanks at the White House instead of focusing on the main game. | ||
| So the DOD... Do we have the logistics? | ||
| Because for a moment there, they were hitting... | ||
| each other with World War I level amounts of tonnage of weaponry. | ||
| It's gone up much, much higher than that. | ||
| Do we actually have the logistical ability, the ammo? | ||
| Because the Secretary of the Navy tweeted out A month ago, and they made him take the tweet down, that if we continue to arm Ukraine at the rate we're arming it, we will not be able to supply the Pacific Fleet with what it needs to basically fight a surface war. | ||
| Is that changing right now, or are we still in jeopardy doing that? | ||
|

|
We are still flailing in our industrial base. | |
| This is very scary. | ||
| Austin has been calling in the industrial-based leaders and chastising them. | ||
| Why haven't you kept all these production lines open? | ||
| Well, this is basic return on investment. | ||
| If we're not getting paid to keep these production lines open, we're just beginning to turn hulls at Lima for new tanks. | ||
| Trump was the one who reopened Lima. | ||
| Lima was essentially our only tank plant, was essentially dead, and Trump reopened it. | ||
| And those 108 M1A2s that are minus the depleted uranium armor, you know, I called up state several times. | ||
| State Department says call up the Taiwanese embassy. | ||
| I'm trying to get an exact status. | ||
| I fought hard for those tanks. | ||
| The Taiwanese have always wanted those tanks. | ||
| They're very important. The Taiwanese have spiked their budget upwards. | ||
| The Japanese have spiked their budget upwards. | ||
| But our industrial base, it's all about HIMARS. It's about Javelin. | ||
| It's about Stinger. | ||
| It's about Patriot. | ||
| It's about 155mm artillery ammunition. | ||
| We are depleting our stocks, and our industrial base has not ramped up yet. | ||
| We've got to bounce, but can we... | ||
| Deploy Abrams tanks in there without putting American logisticians, maintenance, supply training. | ||
| Is there any way American combat troops will have to go into Ukraine, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the lie. | |
| It implies advance force operations, which means that's boots on the ground, Army of Northern Virginia, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| That means trainers. That means logisticians. | ||
| It means a commitment and a distraction. | ||
| It means the NSC is looking to the right when they should be looking to the left. | ||
| I'm sorry. It's a huge—the joint staff is probably ramping up They're probably bringing in reservists to more fully man the joint staff and the service staffs. | ||
| It's a distraction. Everybody's looking that direction when we're supposed to be looking this direction. | ||
| John, Colonel Mills, how do they get to your book? | ||
| How do they get to all your writings and all your contents, sir? | ||

| The first state that he won back in, what, back in 16? | ||
| Gonna give a speech to a convention up there of Republicans. | ||
| Then he heads to South Carolina. | ||
| He'll give a smaller event for basically his leadership team. | ||
| But he's laying out today's speech. | ||
| We'll be all policy, probably 20 minutes long, 30 minutes long, but we'll be all policy. | ||
| And he'll be coming at the administrative state and the elites and the globalists, all of it, today from New Hampshire. | ||
| We're doing the pregame right here in the war room. | ||

| 30 seconds, Ben. What are people about to see? | ||
| Tee this package up. This is the reality of what's going on down in the Darien Gap. | ||
| The mainstream media, the New York Times, blame it on climate change and the COVID lockdowns and everything else that they caused, by the way. | ||
| This is the reality of it. | ||
| It's their fault. They're doing it. | ||
| All of this is being driven by the left, and this is the human misery that they're causing. | ||
| They're heading out. We see the same group stuck here waiting to figure out what to do. | ||

| Don't put your kids through this. | ||
| Don't put yourself through this. | ||
| Don't be raped. Don't be robbed. | ||
