Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got 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 lie? | ||
| 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. | |
| The heroic defense of Stalingrad. | ||
| The Soviet Army turning the Nazi six-month assault into the most ghastly military disaster in German history. | ||
| Hands held high, the beaten Nazis pour from house after house in abject surrender. | ||
| The Soviet Army turned the Nazi six-month assault into the most ghastly military disaster in German history. | ||
| © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Hitler's generals give up, too. | ||
| Twenty-four, including a field marshal. | ||
| Here is Lieutenant General von Daniel, commander of the veteran 376th Division. | ||
| Lieutenant General Sand commanded Hitler's pride. | ||
| The crack 100th division that smashed through Belgium and France. | ||
| Berlin says that German generals never surrender. | ||
| Germany's Romanian allies. | ||
| Brigadier General Dimitriou, commander of the 20th Romanian infantry, suffers the same fate as that of his German colleagues. | ||
| Five more Axis generals who failed at the Stalingrad Hitler vowed he'd take. | ||
| Lieutenant General Schlemmer, whose 14th Tank Corps helped conquer Holland. | ||
| Lieutenant General von Trevor, whose 297th Infantry invaded Greece. | ||
| Lieutenant General Rinaldi, Medical Chief of the 6th German Army. | ||
| Biggest catch of all, Field Marshal Frederick von Paulus, Commander in Chief of all Axis Armies at Stalingrad. | ||
| Taken to headquarters of General Schumeloff for questioning, von Paulus has much to answer for. | ||
| He is the man who ordered the extermination of every civilian in Stalingrad. | ||
| Calmly, quietly, General Shumilov reviews von Paulus' record. | ||
| This is the Von Paulus who, two months before, threatened the families of his own soldiers with death if one man should surrender. | ||
| Eighty years ago today. | ||
| One of the takeaways there is all the best generals, all the best troops that swept through Europe at the beginning of World War II, that swept in and took Paris, led to Dunkirk, all of it, were all transferred. | ||
| This was the best of the best. | ||
| This war in the Eastern Front was fought at a scale that's incomprehensible. | ||
| That army was at one time over 300,000 troops. | ||
| That's the size of Patton's army, which is, I think, our biggest army in Europe that broke out of Normandy and swept across France and then saved the 101st of Bastogne. | ||
| The famous Patton army was the size of that, and these guys had a lot of those type of army groups at Leningrad, outside of Moscow, at Kursk, all of it. | ||
| The scale of this, Steve Cortez, people don't understand the scale is totally different. | ||
| And if you had asked Patton and Eisenhower and General Marshall and Montgomery and all of them, about 80 years later, 80 years to the day that Stalingrad fell. | ||
| And remember, it's a different type of warfare. | ||
| Polis, the field marshal who surrendered, was going to exterminate every civilian in Stalingrad. | ||
| They had already exterminated. They already killed 100,000, not millions, including 30,000 Jews at Kiev, I think. | ||
| That's where that memorial is. | ||
| This was a killing machine. | ||
| Started at 300,000. They surrendered. | ||
| I think they only had 90,000. | ||
| Only 5,000 of the original 300,000 ever got back to Germany. | ||
| A scale and a barbarity. | ||
| And here again, We are you, the taxpayer, this audience, you're underwriting, and the Republican Party neocon insane hawks are pushing this. | ||
| This is being pushed by the United States of America and the leaders of NATO. Just understand what's going on here, right? | ||
| I'm not sure even most of the Ukrainian people are in on this deal right now. | ||
| They're pushing this. They want a land war. | ||
| We're putting main battle tanks, and those tanks that they're forcing the Germans to put over there got the Iron Cross on them. | ||
| So I just want you to understand that your tax dollars and your sons and daughters are going to be going across Ukraine with tanks to the left of them that got the Iron Cross on it 80 years from when this slaughter took place. | ||
| Okay? From when this slaughter took place. | ||
| That's where we are today. | ||
| And here's the objective. | ||
| The objective is Crimea. | ||
| The objective is now... | ||
| They're spring offensive... | ||
| To Crimea. And now we're getting reports. | ||
| I've got one up on Gator right now that shows that, hey, there's a winter offensive because the Russians know how to fight in winter, right? | ||
| They use winter as a strategic weapon. | ||
| They're about to deliver another hammer blow. | ||
| And what you're going to end up with, Steve Cortez, is you've got 40 or 50,000 dead women and children in Ukraine right now. | ||
| You're going to end up with a lot more dead women and children, sir. | ||
| Donald Trump says he could fit in the 24 hours. | ||
| What are your thoughts? Amen. | ||
| And I think he could. I've been saying that for many months, right? | ||
| If we were a serious country right now, what we would be doing is de-escalating, is forcing both sides to get to the negotiating table. | ||
| And there would be no one on Earth better to lead those negotiations than Donald Trump. | ||
| I really believe that, that within a matter of hours or days at most, we would have a sensible resolution of both sides. | ||
| Instead, we continue to massively escalate at great human cost to the people on the ground there and at great peril and risk. | ||
| and financial costs to the United States. | ||
| You're very right, Steve, to put this current crisis in the context of history, of the centuries of blood loss in that part of the world. | ||
| Now, looking at this current crisis, though, here's the good news. | ||
| The good news is that if we are dispassionate about it, if we take a realistic assessment of the situation, geographically speaking, it is a regional confrontation. | ||
| It really is. It doesn't have wider ramifications unless we force it to. | ||
| And when we look at it from an ethnic perspective, this is a blood feud, a Slavic blood feud between the Ukrainians and the Russians that has gone on for centuries, and it may well go on for centuries from here, but thankfully involves no strategic U.S. national security interest. | ||
| By the way, when I talk about keeping our heads, Let me tell you who's not keeping their heads right now are some folks in Western Europe. | ||
| And this is some very good reporting out from Breitbart about what Denmark is actually proposing. | ||
| If we can pull up slide number one, chart one, please. | ||
| I want to show this. This was reported by Breitbart, that the defense chief of Breitbart actually calls for the drafting for the military conscription of women because of the Russian threat. | ||
| Now listen, if the Danish, and there's the quote from Breitbart, changing laws surrounding conscription to allow everyone, including women, from the defense minister of Denmark. | ||
| If the Danish, Steve, want to go down this ridiculous road, this absurdity, and if they want to inflict this cruelty upon the women of their society and pretend that it is worth risking their lives, to intervene in this Black Sea regional struggle, that's on Denmark, | ||
| okay? We in the United States, across an ocean, With our own border problem, a very real, very present border problem here in the United States, we need to say, Europe, if you really believe it's that ultimate problem for you, that it is for you to take care of. | ||
| You have all of the resources, economic and military, that you need to take care of it. | ||
| Your neighborhood, your backyard, your problem. | ||
| Because listen, this is not our problem, and Zelensky is not our fighter. | ||
| The reason that these radical regimes got to start conscripting the women for this, conscripting the women, drafting them, is that the guys aren't signing up. | ||
| In Germany, it was reported a couple of weeks ago that the highest rate of conscientious objectors now sitting there going, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Now they're going to be thrown in. | ||
| The young in Europe are going to be thrown into the charnel house. | ||
| How many times do we have to do this, ladies and gentlemen? | ||
| Because now it's on your shoulders. | ||
| The responsibility of this audience, we must force Biden and all the constitutional conservatives out there, I'm tired of all the talk about the Constitution. | ||
| Let's see some action about the Constitution. | ||
| Let's get, and I'm not so sure the War Powers Act is actually taking it up, is constitutional, but it's what we got right now. | ||
| He must be forced to come to the House and make a presentation about what's the plan? | ||
| What are the objectives? | ||
| What's the strategy? As Steve Cortez continues to hammer, why is it in the vital national security interest of the United States? | ||
| They're going to start the hearings on the southern border next week. | ||
| We know the southern border is in the vital national security interest of the United States. | ||
| Why is the eastern Russian-speaking border of Ukraine 8,000 miles away? | ||
| Why is that in the vital national security interest? | ||
| I'll tell you who doesn't think so, the young men of Germany, the young men of Denmark. | ||
| They're not signing up. | ||
| You don't see these people sign up and go over there. | ||
| It just announced the other day, the United Kingdom, and we're going to get into some economics here. | ||
| We're going to get Dave Walsh in here about the UK economy and energy. | ||
| The United Kingdom, our greatest part of the NATO protector, because they're not an ally, they can deliver one combat division. | ||
| One combat division. | ||
| Let me put that in perspective of the German army that surrendered 80 years ago today. | ||
| A division is roughly 10,000 people. | ||
| Right now, the Brits, with all their cuts, they can come up with one combat division. | ||
| Okay? There were essentially 30 combat divisions or what was left of them that either were defeated, killed, or surrendered at Stalingrad. | ||
| 30. That's the difference you're talking about. | ||
| Oh, by the way, it also happens to be the number of illegal aliens across the border into the United States in the month of December just to connect the dot there. | ||
| Cortez, just like on the financial, McCarthy tomorrow must force these guys, no deal, nothing put on the table, give them to give you the model. | ||
| We need a war powers resolution and Biden to step to the place because this is NATO, the United States versus Russia. | ||
| Let's just cut the nonsense. | ||
| The Ukrainian people are just pawns in this thing. | ||
| Steve Cortez. By the way, the Ukrainian people are the people being victimized most of all, paradoxically. | ||
| The people that Biden and the Davos said and the bureaucrats at Brussels NATO headquarters, they claim, of course, to be protecting the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian people the ones suffering most intensely from this totally insane escalation. | ||
| Who's benefiting? Defense contractors in the United States, the Washington war machine, lobbyists on K Street, the Davoset, Zelensky. | ||
| Okay, all of them are benefiting. | ||
| The Ukrainian people are suffering most of all. | ||
| And what we're trying to prevent, Steve, is that kind of suffering being visited upon American Because, remember, we have thousands of U.S. troops from the 101st Airborne who are right now deployed right there on the border. | ||
| You want to talk about a dangerous situation. | ||
| Those troops should be living with their families and training in the middle of America, where they're based, at Fort Campbell, in Kentucky, and in Tennessee. | ||
| They do not belong in Europe, inviting a confrontation with the second most powerful military in the world, Russia. | ||
| Yeah. Let me just make another observation. | ||
| They're in Romania on the Ukrainian border. | ||
| The reason that the 6th Army collapsed at Stalingrad, and they mentioned it just briefly in the newsroom, the Romanian, they had two or three divisions. | ||
| They had a Romanian army that fought with the Nazis that were at Stalingrad on the left flank, and they're the ones that collapsed. | ||
| It shouldn't be lost. We've now put the revered 101st, That held at Bastogne, right? | ||
| And so Hitler couldn't come at the Battle of the Bulge and sweep back through Europe. | ||
| The historic, brave 101st that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, lost all that blood, all those kids, all the PTSD, all the killed. | ||
| Now we got them on the border. | ||
| They're deployed, forward deployed in Romania to go into combat. | ||
| You do not send the 101st forward unless you intend to use them in combat. | ||
| So don't be...all the lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| Where's the big debate? Where's the big debate on tanks? | ||
| There was no debate. All of a sudden it came out of nowhere. | ||
| Next thing you know, giving them tanks, this is not giving them tanks. | ||
| You're changing to an entire type of warfare. | ||
| Ask the Wehrmacht. When the tanks start rolling, that's when the bodies really start coming up. | ||
| That's when you have what's called combined arms. | ||
| and you can't give the tanks, Zelensky knows this, Biden is saying no, no, no, no, no F-16s. | ||
| You can't have tanks unless you have close air support. | ||
| You have combat air support. | ||
| You need air support. | ||
| You're going to need jet fighters. | ||
| Those jet fighters are going to come from the West, and they're going to have American pilots. | ||
| Okay? This is all happening, and they're forcing... | ||
| And up on Capitol Hill, it's just every day... | ||
| No. | ||
| Forcing to do what the Constitution says. | ||
| He must come to the House and present the war plan. | ||
| We have to see it now. | ||
| We have to see... Make him make his lies and misrepresentations for the record of history. | ||
| Cortez and Dave Walsh next. | ||

Let's take down the CCP! | |
| News your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| www.facebook.com or www.youtube.com or www.youtube.com Good morning. This week, House Republicans are voting on legislation to restore our constitutional rights and freedoms after two long years of Democrats COVID-19 power grab policies. | ||
| The extended COVID lockdowns, like the ones we saw in my home state of New York, caused irreparable damage to our children's development, financial strain on our small businesses, and unnecessary deaths among our most vulnerable seniors due to former disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo's deadly and fatal nursing home order. | ||
| Under the guise of COVID-19, Democrats' authoritarian policies weaponized the federal government, forced unconstitutional vaccine mandates, and cost hundreds of billions in waste and abuse of Americans' hard-earned taxpayer dollars. | ||
| This week, House Republicans will pass a bill that will force the federal government to acknowledge what the American people already know. | ||
| The pandemic is over. | ||
| In addition, the Freedom for Healthcare Workers Act will end the unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandates that cost our healthcare workers who bravely served on the front lines in the wake of the pandemic. | ||
| It cost them their livelihoods and caused a crisis of staffing shortages nationwide. | ||
| House Republicans will also pass the Show Up Act. | ||
| Americans across the country show up to work every day. | ||
| There is no reason why federal employees should not be held to the same standard. | ||
| House Republicans will deliver on our promises to hold Democrats accountable for their failed COVID-19 policies. | ||
| And as the conference chair, every week we are highlighting one of our newly elected freshman members. | ||
| And I'm honored to introduce our next speaker, Laura Lee, newly elected from Florida's 15th district. | ||
| Fantastic. By the way, going on offense, they're not going to just sit there and let Biden extend this thing to the end of May. | ||
| But, oh, that's the last time. | ||
| That's when we're going to stop it. Remember, this whole con has got the federal workers don't have to show up. | ||
| You've got the whole student loan fiasco, which Jane Zirkle's working on for us. | ||
| I think it's, I don't know now, looks like $400 billion of fiasco, bigger than they thought it was going to be. | ||
| It's all lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| I think because of timing, we're going to get Naomi up tonight, I think on the 6 o'clock show. | ||
| We've got a lot to go through. This thing's exploding about the vax every second of every day. | ||
| And I want to thank the War Room audience and the audience for backing the book, but the 3,500 members of this audience that have volunteered now for over a year. | ||
| To be the researchers and pulling the information from the Pfizer documents, which are going to be already stunning, but are going to be a major part of these investigations in the House. | ||
| And I know of already major lawsuits are going on. | ||
| So thank you. A lot to report, a lot to get going on that. | ||
| That's Elise Stefanik. | ||
| Also, Biden just left the White House and had some pointed comments about the debt ceiling we're going to get into. | ||
| Bottom line, people should understand, Three things are converging. | ||
| Number one, all the investigations, they've got the jurisdiction set aside. | ||
| They've gone through a certain set of subpoenas and letters who they're going to have. | ||
| Actually, I think you're actually going to have testimony starting next week. | ||
| I can tell you their staffs are hiring, they're working these things, and I think it's going to start multiple. | ||
| Everywhere from the COVID investigations, the Wuhan lab, you're going to have the border, weaponization of government, judiciary. | ||
| The Biden Comer yesterday said the Biden financial records and the intelligence crimes are inextricably linked. | ||
| That should be a major red flag in the White House. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. It's obvious that Hunter Biden... | ||
| Took classified documents, had access to classified documents, and put it into emails to his business partners. | ||
| All that's going on. | ||
| You have the entire debt ceiling situation going on. | ||
| And you're going to have this situation about a war powers. | ||
| People are just not going to sit here and allow unlimited hundreds of billions, because this is going to get to trillions of dollars. | ||
| And not just that, it's going to suck in American kids. | ||
| It is impossible. To put those tanks into a combat zone without American, if not crews, then you've got to have at least logistics, maintenance, supply, training, all that. | ||
| And these are the most sophisticated tanks that have ever been developed. | ||
| You've got people that train for years on these tanks at the finest training centers we have here in the United States with the United States Army. | ||
| You just can't throw these Ukrainian militia Into that, right? | ||
| And expecting that in the air and missiles and rockets they want. | ||
| They continue to ask for it and we continue to push on them because we want to expand this from a border, a conflict over a border. | ||
| Now it's offense. They said they're pushing the Ukraine to say this thing doesn't end until they've taken back all the territory in eastern Russian-speaking Ukraine and now the Crimea, to add the Crimea onto that. | ||
| We'll bring in Dave Walsh here in a second. | ||
| I'm going to play the Biden clip. | ||
| Denver, by the way, there was a clip, before I get there, there was a clip today that had MSNBC, had the control room at MSNBC, which was like, I don't know, it looked like 100 people and 2,000 TV screens. | ||
| And here at the war room, we've got the great crew at Real America's Voice, which I know I'm on all the time. | ||
| In fact, somebody told me one time, after they watched the show for a year, They thought that Denver was actually a person I was yelling at at the time, not a location. | ||
| The real America's voice in Denver, of course, my own crew here. | ||
| If we have the Biden clip, can we go ahead and play? | ||
| Let's go ahead and play Biden. Spoke to reporters a little while ago. | ||
|

|
Here are his comments. Are you talking to Zelensky recently? | |
| and what are you going to tell him about his further request for a talk? | ||
| Will you negotiate with Speaker McCarthy? | ||
| Will you negotiate with McCarthy? | ||
| Will you negotiate with McCarthy? | ||
| Show me his budget. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. | ||
| Show me his budget. | ||
| And those were the president's comments just moments ago. | ||
| Mike, the issue, that last question that Chris was asking about the conversations that he's going to have with the speaker, it's show me your budget. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. This is really an effort on the part of the president, as Republicans are demanding spending cuts from the president, to say, listen, you're going to have to have 218 votes among Republicans to pass a budget, so tell me what you're able to support. | ||
| Is it going to be cutting entitlement programs, Social Security, Medicare? | ||
| Is it going to be cutting defense spending? | ||
| These are some difficult choices that will divide the Republican caucus. | ||
| And the president is highlighting that fact to say this should not be a subject of negotiation over our debt limit. | ||
| We should increase that because that's all about paying for things we already have appropriated. | ||
| We can have discussions over spending in the future. | ||
| The president, you should also expect to hear him say, we've slashed the deficit during his administration. | ||
| Republicans went along with spending increases during the Trump administration. | ||
| Okay, just to let you know what's going on behind the scenes, they're freaked out that we're saying you're not touching entitlements. | ||
| You're not going to touch Social Security and Medicare, okay? | ||
| Parts of Medicaid, hey, who knows? | ||
| But Social Security and Medicare are off the table, not going to be touched. | ||
| And the defense budget's in play. | ||
| I believe that you need a $100 billion cut for defense because what you're going to do is take back commitments. | ||
| We're going to take back commitments. | ||
| Why do we have these commitments all over Hell's Half Acre the American people are paying for? | ||
| That's the way you cut it. You want to take down the CCP? Give me access to capital markets and technology. | ||
| You can bring them to their knees in 90 days. | ||
| Don't need to go to a kinetic war. | ||
| You've got to plan for it. | ||
| You've got to get the fleet ready. | ||
| You've got to be ready for it. But that's where our focus should be, not in Ukraine, not the $100 billion in Ukraine. | ||
| Got an easy way to cut the defense budget, cut the Ukraine part of it. | ||
| This whole thing about previous pay-for, that's a scam. | ||
| The debt ceiling is not going to get increased one penny. | ||
| One penny. Okay? | ||
| We're going to do a waterfall, pay off the interest, pay off any notes that come due. | ||
| Never default. Only way you default is if Biden authorizes Yellen to default. | ||
| The default's on them. If they want to shut the government down over this, hey, so be it. | ||
| Let's roll. Checks will still go out. | ||
| Let's roll. That's your big threat? | ||
| 56 % of the American people, according to Rassman, said, hey, that's what it takes to get the spending under control. | ||
| And Biden's trying to just spin it with propaganda right there. | ||
| Hold the line. First thing you do, we're not going to show you our budget. | ||
| We're not going to show you our cuts. Show us your model. | ||
| Show the financial model first. | ||
| Tell me how Biden, how you just get through this. | ||
| If he give you an unlimited, desolating increase, how do you pay for it? | ||
| Oh, I see. You just hit the button over at the Federal Reserve and just keep printing money. | ||
| It can't work any longer. Dave Walsh, energy. | ||
| Particularly, I want you to start in Europe about what's happened. | ||
| Europe's back to the 16th century. | ||
| I wish they were back to the 16th century, their religious beliefs, but they were back to the 16th century as far as their economy goes. | ||
| Get me up to speed on the energy situation in Europe, sir. | ||
| Well, it remains bad. | ||
| UK, for example, the price of natural gas, they're still 55 times What it is here in the US, so we're enjoying record exports of LNG to the UK in support of one business, but secondly, helping out. | ||
| Their price per kilowatt hour on gas still double the world average, 27 times the world average. | ||
| They had been totally self-sufficient on gas as recently as 2003. | ||
| They were a net exporter of oil and gas They've basically curtailed 70 % of their North Sea production. | ||
| And as you know, and we've said before on the show, fracking in the UK is illegal, remains illegal. | ||
| Liz Truss was looking at that. | ||
| That's been aborted with her departure. | ||
| Any country abundant with bituminous coal, which they are, is loaded with natural gas underfoot. | ||
| They're not harvesting it, so they're a massive importer. | ||
| So we got a report from The Guardian a few days ago. | ||
| That in London, air pollution has now reached a 10 level, that's the highest number on the charts, and due to wood burning and solid fuel burning in homes. | ||
| The College of London reported its own study that 60 to 70 percent of this air pollution is now emanating from the burning of wood in fireplaces in homes, and that's caused a massive elevation to the highest level of pollution since January 17 in the City of London. | ||
| And that creates huge particulate pollution airborne, which actually is not about CO2. It's about heavy particles coming from wood burning, which actually is dangerous. | ||
| It's caused big uplift in hospital visits, doctor visits, and the prescription of inhalers for children. | ||
| It's amazing. Age of Dickens. | ||
| So London is... | ||
| This is the age of Dickens. | ||
| It's back to that London. | ||
| I wish they had the values of the Victorian era. | ||
| We're back there. We're back there. | ||
| Unbelievable. They're certainly going to get the air pollution of that era. | ||
| I wish they would get the Victorian values and the underlying Christianity that made it, at one point, the greatest civilization in the world. | ||
| Not anymore. Okay. | ||
| Huddle around their fireplaces, burning coal and wood. | ||
| They're so far more advanced. | ||
| They're so awfully, awfully. | ||
| Okay, short break. Dave Walsh and Peter Thiel is going to be here by tape from Oxford. | ||
| We're going to show his speech the other day at Oxford and have commentary by the one and only Joe Allen. | ||

| And also go to CPAC. Make sure you're there. | ||
| Make sure you represent. We want to meet you. | ||
| We want to see you. Okay. | ||
| Dave Walsh. Talk to me. | ||
| By the time CPAC comes, are they going to try to have higher gas prices here? | ||
| What are people going to look forward to? | ||
| Well, the recent projections will be back up to over four bucks a gallon in the U.S. We've had the last month 33.3 cents advance from up to now 349 a gallon as of yesterday nationally on average. | ||
| So a lot of projections by March to four bucks plus. | ||
| And that's because a couple of reasons. | ||
| You've got China coming out of their whole strategy redirecting China on lockdowns to no lockdowns, reopening the economy. | ||
| The IMF predicting about 5.2 % economic growth in China during 2023. | ||
| So that's going to bring a lot of demand for oil in China. | ||
| Coupled with, we're heading into the outage or what's called the turnaround season for U.S. refining capacity, which is already bottlenecked. | ||
| It hasn't really recovered from the December cold spell. | ||
| A lot of refinery outages begin in March, so you'll have some additional supply curtailment here because of that, which ought to drive There is one silver lining, something that's going on that I've been an advocate for, and that is the price caps announced by the U.S. and Western Europe on Russian oil appear to be having something of an effect. | ||
| They are now exporting heavily instead of to Western Europe to Turkey, China, and India at prices well below even the $60 a barrel cap. | ||
| So there's an OPEC meeting on Wednesday to the Planning Committee meeting to get their arms around Russia has kind of broken away from OPEC in respect to pricing. | ||
| And see, that kind of reverse cartel, a buying cartel, actually works. | ||
| And it would be, you know, in time, something for us to consider pulling Saudi Arabia into that kind of sanction. | ||
| The neocons over time have been massively supportive of them. | ||
| We had a We ought to pull them in immediately. | ||
| They're trying to get off the dollars of reserve currency. | ||
| They're part of the problem. Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, all those guys are thrown in with the CCP and the Russians, 100%. | ||
| They're part of the new axis. | ||
| Yeah, I was making a point last week. | ||
| ExxonMobil announced $59 billion in earnings. | ||
| More than double from last year, as Chevron did. | ||
| Well, the underpinning really is their boat has been heavily lifted by the actions of OPEC raising global oil prices. | ||
| We don't want to attack their profitability from the IRS standpoint. | ||
| We don't want to recoup excess profits. | ||
| We do want them investing in the oil and gas production capacity, which Exxon, by the way, are doing. | ||
| They're continuing their $24 billion CapEx program of exploration expense and production into 23, unlike Chevron. | ||
| They have a share buyback program. | ||
| They haven't elevated it. | ||
| They're keeping it flat. So they're on the positive side. | ||
| But still, the bubble in earnings was caused largely by OPEC plus Russia. | ||
| So, yeah, going after the kingdom included with that price cap would make compelling sense to kill OPEC in the crib. | ||
| And that's what keeps oil prices in check in the long run, of course, in addition to massive production here. | ||
| Exxon's also announced a Permian increase to production to a million barrels a day in the Permian Basin by 2024. | ||
| So they're still on page with growing their basic core business of oil and gas, unlike Chevron. | ||
| OPEC is no friend of the United States. | ||
| This whole happy talk of defending them, the game's over. | ||
| They're thrown in with the CCP. Dave, how do people get access to all this information you're putting up, sir? | ||

Thank you, Steve. Brother, fantastic report. | |
| England back to the age of Dickens burning coal and wood to keep warm. | ||
| That's where the United States is going to go unless we get focused and get back to full spectrum energy dominance like it were under Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Let's go. We got Peter Thiel at Oxford. | ||
| Let's play it. And Joe Allen is going to come in for his expert commentary. | ||
|

|
It brings me great pleasure to welcome Mr. | |
| Peter Thiel to the inaugural address of the Oxford Union's bicentenary year. | ||
| You know, the general thesis that I've been articulating in different fora for close to two decades is there is something about science and technology that's not progressing as quickly. | ||
| But for the last 40 or 50 years, outside the world of bits, it has been a story of general stagnation. | ||
| Why can't we have a ticker tape parade for the key scientists who developed the mRNA vaccine. | ||
| We're told this is this fantastic scientific technological breakthrough. | ||
| Why can't we celebrate this? | ||
| And my sort of cultural thesis is that It is immediately adjacent in people's minds to this great existential fear, because the mRNA vaccines somehow remind us of this thing going on in the Wuhan lab that had this Orwellian term, gain-of-function research, which sounds sort of like a bioweapons program in disguise. | ||
| But within computers, probably the futuristic narrative is always around AI, artificial intelligence, artificial general intelligence. | ||
| I was involved with a thing called the Singularity Institute, which pushed sort of accelerationist, utopian technology. | ||
| And I sort of remember thinking to myself, by 2015, I reconnected with some of these people, and it didn't feel like they were really pushing the AI thing as fast as before. | ||
| It had shifted from transhumanism to Luddite. | ||
| No, I actually want to slow this down. | ||
| It feels kind of dangerous. | ||
| I'm going to read this. | ||
| It's from April 2022, less than a year ago. | ||
| Eliezer Yudkowsky, who's one of the sort of thought leaders of the sort of futurist AI. And it's announcing a new death with dignity strategy. | ||
| It's obvious at this point that humanity isn't going to solve the alignment problem of how to get the AI aligned with humans, or even try very hard, or even go out with much of a fight. | ||
| Since survival is unattainable, we should shift the focus or efforts to helping humanity die with slightly more dignity. | ||
| It's an extraordinary way that the context has shifted. | ||
| Oxford professor Nick Bostrom, I think of him as sort of a mouthpiece of the zeitgeist, and he sort of wrote this paper back in 2019 called The Vulnerable World Hypothesis, and it outlines all these different existential risks, climate change, nuclear weapons, Runaway nanotechnology, the robots killing everybody, the AI killing everybody, runaway bioweapons, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| And there are four things that must be done to stabilize the world. | ||
| Number one, restrict technological development. | ||
| Number two, ensure that there does not exist a large population of actors representing a wide and recognizably human distribution of motives. | ||
| Number three, establish extremely effective preventive policing. | ||
| And number four, you need to establish effective global governance. | ||
| If we are going to enumerate all these existential risks, and we have to talk about them, we have to discuss them, we have to think about them, if you end up with a one-world totalitarian state, that also counts as an existential risk. | ||
| You know, in the sort of quasi-mythological New Testament account, the slogan of the Antichrist is peace and safety. | ||
| Perhaps we should fear the Antichrist. | ||
| Perhaps we should fear the one-world totalitarian state more than Armageddon. | ||
| What I would say is I don't know if we actually need to get to the super-futuristic versions of AI for it to be problematic, where it's this super-intelligent computer The version of it that I think is the most real and the most problematic is something like what you see in communist China, where it's fairly low-tech, but it is just this pervasive surveillance. | ||
| We have all sorts of debates whether AI is conscious or whether it's intelligent or super-intelligent, but if we avoid the political question of how it gets used in places like China, maybe it's merely evil. | ||
| And maybe something can be merely evil. | ||
| It's not conscious. It's not even intelligent. | ||
| It's merely evil. If you were to say that crypto is libertarian, then why can't we say that AI is communist? | ||
| It's not completely inherent in it, but it's a certain tendency in it. | ||
| And while I am pro-acceleration, I'm pro-tech, I'm even pro-AI, it is probably the one technology that I have the most misgivings about. | ||
| The Luddites, look, even if they were right about a lot of things, They ultimately are wrong. | ||
| You're going to lose, if nothing else, than in the military context. | ||
| Even if the Luddites are right about everything, you will lose to China on hypersonic weapons or space weapons or weapons in cislunar space or robots armed with AI. Probably there's something about the Luddite answer that's self-destructive and parochial at the same time. | ||
| Remember, Teal is one of us. | ||
| He's one of the smartest guys in the world, one of the most successful investors in the world, and there's a lot to go through there. | ||
| Number one, you are the Luddites, and he actually concedes that we are right. | ||
| He gives the caveat that it's an arms race. | ||
| We're going to get to that in a second. | ||
| The fundamental, because Peter is a quite devout Christian and is very upfront about his religious beliefs, but it is amazing to have someone of his stature throughout the world, and particularly because it's all about power and money, and they respect the fact that he's smart enough, he makes these incredible investments. | ||
| Joe Allen, for him to say and agree with the war room, That this is the rise of the Antichrist. | ||
| And the Antichrist comes not with a sword. | ||
| The Antichrist comes with peace and security. | ||
| We're here to protect. | ||
| Your thoughts, analysis, because you say, hey, your biggest problem with this is Peter Thiel exposes himself as an accelerationist that even wants to drive forward quicker the singularity. | ||
| Joe Allen. Yeah, you know, Steve, it's pretty wild to hear Peter Thiel be more of an accelerationist than the transhumanist that he's critiquing, right? | ||
| You have Nick Bostrom, who has called for mass surveillance, global government, and Thiel is saying that the danger of superintelligence May not be as big as the governmental sort of structure that would keep something like that in check. | ||
| He is, in fact, less cautious in many ways than the people who want to upload their minds to computers. | ||
| It's quite intriguing. | ||
| You have an essay that Teal wrote back in 2015. | ||
| It was published in the Catholic journal First Things. | ||
| It's called Against Edenism. | ||
| And his central argument is that the Garden of Paradise in Eden will culminate in the City of God, and that that City of God will in many ways be the creation, the technological and scientific creation of human beings. | ||
| And while I understand his argument that instituting global governance in order to keep technological progress in check is extremely dangerous, certainly not what I want, I also think the technological progress that he is wanting to accelerate really does match up in many sort of metaphorical and maybe direct ways with the image of the Antichrist in Revelation. | ||
| So it's a very complex problem. | ||
| It's a very complex argument. | ||
| I really encourage people to watch the entire talk and think it through for themselves. | ||
| Yes. Hang on for one second. | ||
| We definitely have to do that. | ||
| The audience has to do that. | ||
| The Luddites always have to be armed. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Joe Allen on the other side. I may get into an argument here about technological advance. | ||
| Remember, the underpinning, we really haven't had any technological advance significant in 50 or 60 years. | ||
| just the rise of the Antichrist. | ||
| All of it next in the war room. | ||

| You run with it, but the Luddites. | ||
| Explain to the audience who are the Luddites, and why do they call us the Luddites, and why are we on the side of the angels, sir, not on the side of the demons? | ||
| You know, the Luddite comes from a term that was a mythical character, Ned Ludd, in the early Industrial Revolution, north of London. | ||
| You had all of these textile mills in which workers were being jipped on their wages due to automation, so to speak, the textile machines displacing them and making their labor less valuable. | ||
| So they started attacking the machines, and they had this mythical figure, Ned Ludd, who was supposedly their leader. | ||
| And so this idea that the machines are the enemy and the human beings should be in conflict with them, should make war against them, was given the name Luddite due to that. | ||
| So a Luddite is anyone who opposes technological advance. | ||
| I think the most famous Luddite, of course, would be Ted Kaczynski, Uncle Ted, who, you know, in many ways... | ||
| He gave Luddites a really bad name with his bombing campaign. | ||
| So when Peter Thiel talks about Luddites being the losers, what he means is that if we reject technological progress, if we reject all the different technologies that he's working on and that he's invested in, then we're going to lose out to some other world power. | ||
| We're going to lose out to China. | ||
| We may lose out to Russia, he doesn't mention them specifically, or some other power. | ||
| You know, it's really interesting, though, that Peter Thiel, and I'm not trying to draw this as some sort of aspersion, I'm not trying to cast aspersion on his character here, or say that he's a hypocrite, or that he's self-interested, and that's what his message is based on, but Peter Thiel is invested in a lot of the technologies that we would call transhumanist technologies, and as we heard in his talk, he has been associated with transhumanism and the ideology for the last 20, 30 years. | ||
| The first, of course, is Palantir, which he co-founded some 20 years ago. | ||
| And as of 2021, it had the top market share of all artificial intelligence companies. | ||
| It goes across like 50 industries, from healthcare to manufacturing to business. | ||
| Maybe the most important, though, is military technology. | ||
| So Palantir, one of the programs, for instance, MetaConstellation, which their CEO Alex Karp presented at the World Economic Forum last week. | ||
| MetaConstellation is designed to basically locate targets in an entire nation. | ||
| You basically sit through the data of an entire nation looking for potential enemies, potential terrorists. | ||
| I think, arguably, it's probably been used against us here in the U.S., given as how it's farmed out to the FBI, CIA, and Department of Defense. | ||
| You also have BlackRock Neurotech. | ||
| Of course, Peter Thiel was one of the original investors in Neuralink, and now he's thrown a ton of investment into BlackRock Neurotech, the brain-computer interface company. | ||
| Of the nearly 40 people with advanced brain-computer interfaces in their heads, BlackRock Neurotech has around 32 or 34 of them. | ||
| They now have an even more advanced system called the Neuralace, which seems to be a promising avenue to connecting the brain to digital devices and artificial intelligence. | ||
| And I don't know if Teal has the same sort of ambition as Musk, as far as I know he's ever voiced it, but certainly he is driving that forward. | ||
| Also, life extension. | ||
| So you have all these different tech moguls that are investing in life extension or this sort of approximation of immortality. | ||
| And Teal has invested in a ton of this stuff. | ||
| Probably the most important one is the Methuselah Foundation. | ||
| And he was quoted recently in The Guardian as saying... | ||
| He intends to reverse all human ailments the same way we can fix the bugs of a computer program. | ||
| Death will eventually be reduced from a mystery to a solvable problem. | ||
| Again, I'm not trying to smear Peter Thiel, but certainly that has the same sort of air that most of the transhumanists would voice about all these technologies. | ||
| And then, of course, there was the investment in Ambrosia, which is the project to have blood transfusions from younger people into older people so that they'll be more vibrant, healthier, and live longer, sort of like cyber techno vampirism, you could say. So, yeah, I think it adds a different flavor to his statements at Oxford. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| We're going to have you back on. I want to go through the concept of accelerationist versus Luddite and why the accelerationists are quite dangerous and need to be stopped. | ||
| Where do people go for your content? | ||
| You can actually find a really interesting article at the top of my social media at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z. Hardwired for control. | ||
| The brain-computer interface is already here. | ||
| I go into Peter Thiel's thought a bit there. | ||
| You can also find me at warroom.org under the transhumanism tab and my site, jobot.xyz. | ||
| Brother Joe Allen, thank you. | ||
| Back at 5 to 7. | ||
