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? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| To go back to that, what Darren Beattie was saying about the lawfare associated with Dominion. | ||
| I want everybody to read that Dominion interview in Axios. | ||
| Just read it. It doesn't seem like... | ||
| Look, I'm not a machine guy. | ||
| We've never been machine guys, although I think Mike Lindell has shown us and his technicians where there are issues in this machine. | ||
| I've always been the mail-in ballot. | ||
| I mean, Mark Elias told you how they were going to steal this election, the Transition Integrity Project, as you remember. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, myself, Bill McGinley, back in, I think it was in July of 2020 when they, I think it was in July of 2020 when they published it, July or August. | ||
| Mark Elias told, he told you how they were going to steal this. | ||
| They said that Trump was going to be the winner in an epic, by 11 o'clock at night on Election Day, he was going to win. | ||
| They said this. But you had to wait for the mail-in ballots. | ||
| Remember, when they said count all the votes, they never said count all the legitimate, certifiable, chain of custody votes. | ||
| They never said that. And the double envelope of signature verification that should have worked for Carrie Lake in Arizona, it should have worked for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, but they ripped the envelopes up and dumped them in so you couldn't double verify immediately. | ||
| And there were establishment Republicans in these states that didn't fight it. | ||
| He didn't fight it. If you look at the interviews, it doesn't seem like they were under a tremendous amount of pressure. | ||
| It doesn't seem like they were under a tremendous amount of pressure. | ||
| It just doesn't. The reason that... | ||
| And I said this from the very beginning, and this is what I said on the stage at CPAC. As soon as Old Man Murdoch—because Old Man Murdoch's not that bright. | ||
| Just not. Not the very bright guy. | ||
| Got 16 wrong. | ||
| Doesn't really—he doesn't understand this country. | ||
| Doesn't really understand America. | ||
| Doesn't. Part of that is he's a foreigner. | ||
| Part of that is he's not particularly bright. | ||
| Part of it, he's not—he's evil. | ||
| He's variently anti-Christian. | ||
| You know this is one of the things about the Tucker situation. | ||
| This about his, I don't know, his fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, I don't remember, wife. | ||
| You know, he just gets engaged at 92 after throwing Jerry Hall out, right? | ||
| Gets engaged, and she turns out she's an evangelical Christian. | ||
| And after a couple weeks, he punts on that because of her. | ||
| And the media reported this extensively because of her Christian. | ||
| He was upset, concerned, disturbed by her fervently held Christian worldview, her Christian beliefs. | ||
| And supposedly they had a dinner with Tucker where Tucker talked about those beliefs. | ||
| And I think she said that Tucker was providential at this time and place in American history. | ||
| Of which there are providential people out there, Donald J. Trump being one of them. | ||
| The election of 2016 being providential, I was there. | ||
| It was the gang that couldn't shoot straight. | ||
| We had a great candidate, we had an amazing message, and we had a plane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was it. Right? | |
| There were some good people in the campaign. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. There were good people, hardworking, got it. | ||
| But you had basically a man, a message, and an instrument, a plane, called a plane. | ||
| That's how we won. And Trump took that message to places people wouldn't go. | ||
| And Rupert Murdoch didn't. He was, ALS called me on that Sunday the weekend before. | ||
| Their numbers show we're going to lose by four or five points. | ||
| It was over. Megyn Kelly's putting her makeup on after they see the early, you know, the exit polls at five o'clock and it shows us losing everywhere. | ||
| Losing everywhere. I think we were tied in Ohio and I think we might have been up in Iowa or maybe tied in Iowa and up a point in Ohio. | ||
| It was a disaster. | ||
| Megyn Kelly's putting her makeup on. | ||
| She's laughing. They're going to bury Trump. | ||
| The over and under is how quick are they going to bury Trump? | ||
| Is it going to be 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock? | ||
| It was going to be early. It's going to be early. | ||
| They're going to dance on his grave and MAGA's grave and the deplorable's grave. | ||
| They're all set for it. They were all set for it. | ||
| I was there. I saw it. | ||
| I saw what they were doing. | ||
| And man, when Donald J. Trump won. | ||
| So Ruben Roddy, not a bright guy. | ||
| And to prove he's not a bright guy, don't take it from me. | ||
| Go read his deposition. | ||
| Read his deposition in the case. | ||
| He is a moron. | ||
| He's bought some tabloids. | ||
| He's bought some companies. | ||
| He hadn't really, I don't think, taken them to the next level. | ||
| Owns Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Can't get Fox Business. | ||
| Who knows what that thing is? | ||
| It's not a business channel. | ||
| You get more sophisticated capital markets economics in a five-minute segment on War Room. | ||
| You get all day on Fox Business. | ||
| Don't take it from me. Take it from hedge fund guys. | ||
| Fox Business is like, the stupid hour is stupid hour. | ||
| That's Murdoch. That's Murdoch. | ||
| Read his deposition. | ||
| You see what a complete and total moron. | ||
| If you want a bit of guidance, Bud Light was the number one beer in the country. | ||
| 26 % or 29%, the biggest drop in history, boom, in April alone. | ||
| If it continues on, Bud Light's done. | ||
| You're sending a message of not buying from people that hate you. | ||
| And that's a strong message. | ||
| There's another one in the U.S. Navy. | ||
| Good God, I've got it up on Getter. | ||
| Hopefully we can get to it this morning. | ||
| If you're not, we'll get to it this afternoon. | ||
| They've got, I don't know, a drag queen as the digital representative of the U.S. Navy because they're 8,000... | ||
| Individuals short of hitting their recruiting goals in a tough economy. | ||
| Hmm. Let me think about that. | ||
| I wonder whether if you're $8,000 short, let's go get a drag queen. | ||
| Let's go get a transgender guy that has pronouns it, she, her, who knows? | ||
| Let's dress her up in a wig and some makeup and have her flitting around. | ||
| That ought to help recruiting. | ||
| That's exactly what we need. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party sees that and they're saying, yeah, you know, maybe we ought to expedite that gunfight we want to have in the Straits of Taiwan and the South China Sea. | ||
| Maybe that's what we ought to do. | ||
| Okay, we've got John Salmon who's going to join us here in a minute. | ||
| A lot to go through. I've got Chris Hoare. | ||
| Chris, I ask you every time that you get any type of a grunch of things that the Warrior and Posse would love, if you give us first dibs on them to come on here and talk to them while you've got them and let the Posse have the first shot. | ||
| So take it away, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, thanks. We're looking at maybe 27 days away from the U.S. defaulting on their debt, and that would lead to certainly, as you know, better than anyone, financial disaster, and that is often followed by civil unrest. | |
| And that's just one of the threats we're looking at. | ||
| So we're going back to basics today, Steve. | ||
| We have 100 free Iridium 9555 satellite phones, free with activation. | ||
| That's a savings of $1,400, and you're paying just $99 a month, getting 100 minutes a month and 100 texts. | ||
| And those minutes can roll over, and you can get a U.S. number as well. | ||
| But sat123.com, you get your free iridium-9555 sat phone with 100 minutes a month for $99.95. | ||
| And if you use the code STEVE50, you even save the $50 on the activation fee. | ||
| So an incredible saving, Steve. | ||
| You can also call us at 941-955-1020 or just go to sat123.com and use promo code STEVE50. Can they get all the information about why you need a satellite phone? | ||
| Is that there? Can you talk to a representative? | ||
| Because I want people to understand why these satellite phones are so important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. Look, only 7 % of the world is covered by cell phone service. | |
| The rest is not covered by cell phone service at all. | ||
| Satellite phones do not rely on cell towers. | ||
| They talk directly to the satellites. | ||
| And that's why the US military uses them, Steve. | ||
| Because they need to be able to communicate anywhere and everywhere they are. | ||
| So middle of the ocean, middle of the desert, even the middle of downtown Denver, where my cell phone does not work hardly at all, the Iridium 955-SAT phone will work. | ||
| I know, right? And I pay, what, 200 bucks a month? | ||
| My bill is there. But yeah, no, just call us, 941-955-1020, 941-955-1020. | ||
| And they'll be happy to answer any other questions you have. | ||
| We have 24-hour great customer service and support. | ||
| Both in San Diego and in Florida. | ||
| How many of these do we have? | ||
| Because I know the posse is going to buy it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So how many do we have? Just 100 today, Steve. | |
| So yeah, they can go to sat123.com. | ||
| And again, if you use the promo code Steve50, they're even saving $50 on the activation fee. | ||
| That's a total savings of $1,450. | ||
| But just 100 available. | ||
| Okay, brother, Chris Hoare. | ||
| By the way, Chris Hoare has been, I'd let it be duly noted by the Warren Posse, Chris Hoare was rattled by Janet Yellen saying we're out of cash June 1st. | ||
| Brother, everybody wants to get a satellite phone, but just hang in there with us. | ||
| We're going to make sure we're not going to default. | ||
| We're not going to default on that debt. | ||
| We will not let Janet Yellen default on that debt. | ||
| So just hang in there with me. | ||
| Chris Hoare, thank you for coming on. | ||
| Thanks, mate. Speaking of that, let's go right to Mitch McConnell. | ||
| The leads during the Hill this morning was that Biden in a panic mode is reaching out to the GOP establishment to try to cut a better deal, try to get us to back off any cuts whatsoever in the debt ceiling. | ||
| Mitch McConnell let him have with both barrels in the well of the Senate. | ||
| Let's hear it. There has been a total absence of presidential leadership. | ||
| President Biden has simply been MIA. First, the President said he would not negotiate unless Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans passed their own bill. | ||
| So they did. | ||
| They did. Our Republican colleagues in the House passed a responsible bill. | ||
| It's the only legislation currently in existence that can pass even one chamber of Congress. | ||
| Let alone both. | ||
| So, let that sink in. | ||
| This is where we are. | ||
| Senate Democrats and Leader Schumer can give all the angry speeches they want, but they have no bill. | ||
| Leader Schumer has no plan that can earn 60 votes here in the Senate. | ||
| He has no solution that can even pass His chamber, let alone the House. | ||
| Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans are the only people in Washington who have actually, actually passed legislation to avoid default. | ||
| The Senate majority offers plenty of angry noises, but zero plan. | ||
| The only solution is presidential leadership. | ||
| President Biden has been sleepwalking toward this crisis. | ||
| This president, it's time to wake up. | ||
| Time to wake up. | ||
| The president has two options. | ||
| Two options. | ||
| He can endorse the responsible bill that House Republicans have already passed and instruct Senate Republicans not to block it in this chamber. | ||
| He can finally sit down with Speaker McCarthy and reach an agreement. | ||
| The Speaker of the House has been sitting at the grown-up's table for months waiting for President Biden to act like a leader. | ||
| Whatever President Biden and Speaker McCarthy can both agree to will pass the Senate easily. | ||
| Any bill that doesn't meet that description appears to have no chance. | ||
| So, I'm glad President Biden has begun backing down and finally invited the Speaker to begin negotiating. | ||
| I accept his invitation to join the meeting myself, but I'll continue to lend my support to the Speaker. | ||
| Now, on another matter, today the Senate has... | ||
| That's important right there. | ||
| By the way, Schumer doesn't have 51 votes. | ||
| Manchin and Sinema tell them they would not vote for a clean lift. | ||
| And I don't think, Tester, you've got five or six guys. | ||
| You know, the Virginia senator, Tim Kaine, he doesn't have the votes even to pass his own deal there. | ||

| They're saying, you just saw Chris Hoare. | ||
| Hey, he's rattled a little bit. | ||
| Janet Yellen said no money to come June 1st. | ||
| The meeting's next week. | ||

The John Solomon joins us after a short break. | |
| Let's take down the CCP! | ||
| Your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna try to get Rebecca Koffler up in a few minutes. | ||
| We've got Ben Harnwell. There's supposed to be an attack, supposed drone attack, on the Kremlin by the Ukrainians. | ||
| This whole thing's heating up. | ||
| Atlantic Magazine's got a bunch of pieces we're going to go through on the Ukraine war. | ||
| We're going to get to all that momentarily. | ||
| I want to bring in John Solomon. | ||
| John, you know, we played, the great Max Evans did this mashup of Biden on let's finish the job. | ||
| We had Mark Mitchell on about the polling. | ||
| His polling is, and Rasmussen does a very good job, his polling's terrible. | ||
| Trump's up by eight or by seven, 48-41. | ||
| If you add DeSantis to the ticket, which I'm not so sure right now we could count on, maybe later as temper is cool, but it's 51-43. | ||
| What do you think about the Let's Finish the Job and particularly how we had John Fredericks on just ripping on Jill Biden about the situation with the little granddaughter. | ||
| You had him down in Arkansas on the court getting ripped on. | ||
| But there's something more insidious going on here. | ||
| This almost looks like a racketeering effort to protect him. | ||
| You've got a brilliant article up on Just the News about this. | ||
| Break it down for us. Yeah, listen, a lot of great work by people like Senators Johnson, Senators Grassley, James Comer, Jim Jordan. | ||
| They've all put pieces of this together. | ||
| Two things are happening. We're getting a sense of just how large the influence peddling scheme was for the Biden family. | ||
| A dozen members Tens of millions of dollars going through LLCs and being distributed all around. | ||
| So that part, we're still learning that it was much bigger than even we thought when I started breaking the stories in 2019 when Peter Schweitzer wrote the book. | ||
| But now we're beginning to see just how much effort the Biden machine put into Suppressing this information, even to the point, according to Senators Johnson and Grassley, of lying to Congress. | ||
| Yesterday, Johnson and Grassley sent a letter to Blinken saying, you lied to us. | ||
| You said you didn't email and text with Hunter Biden. | ||
| You said you didn't have phone calls with him. | ||
| We found some of you directly corresponding with him. | ||
| And your wife at the State Department was a backdoor conduit for information with Hunter Biden. | ||
| We want you to now preserve records and turn them over to us because we no longer trust your word. | ||
| This is the same Blinken. | ||
| That also engaged in the cover-up operation by getting Mike Morrell, instigating him to write the letter that falsely declared the Hunter and Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. | ||
| So the cover-up is now becoming a really significant thing. | ||
| James Comer said to me, I think it's a very important quote. | ||
| Hunter Biden will turn out to be another privileged Democrat who is being treated differently by the justice system. | ||
| He's getting a free pass. | ||
| There are concerns that Scott Perry raised yesterday that maybe the Justice Department, and I'm hearing this from a lot of people, but Scott Perry said it out loud. | ||
| That the Justice Department may have allowed statutes of limitations to expire so that Hunter Biden couldn't be charged with something that is sitting in plain open, that Congress has had for two years, that he didn't pay taxes on $400,000 of barispa money. | ||
| So if the Justice Department, the intelligence community, the Secretary of State and others were creating a protection racket for him, a political protection racket, The American people were truly deprived, and the Biden campaign was ground zero for depriving the public from all this information so we could make an informed decision in 2020. | ||
| That's what Congress is uncovering. | ||
| Do you know you've made your stock and trade is investigative reporting and you're one of the top guys in DC and have been for many many decades. | ||
| A lot of people are saying hey I see this I see the pieces are coming together I see Blinken's line there's a pincer move because he's lied to Congress on Burisma he's lied to Congress on the on the 51 is your belief because it takes a special type of person to want to see it through to the end. | ||
| Do you see the character, will, determination of the Republicans that control the House to see this through to its logical conclusion? | ||
| Are we just going to have a bunch of great stuff out there, very important, and end up being Benghazi too? | ||
| That is a great illusion. | ||
| Benghazi is the perfect example of accountability that got failed to be delivered despite overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing. | ||
| I've asked this question a lot. | ||
| What if we get truth but no consequence? | ||
| Then are countries even more endangered than it was? | ||
| And that's really what happened after Russia collusion, right? | ||
| We ended up exposing the ruse, but no one really got punished. | ||
| There is a strong sentiment among the Freedom Caucus, particularly, and Kevin McCarthy personally, that he wants to exact specific penalties and punishment. | ||
| I had a story yesterday, a dozen lawmakers saying, listen, we're going to use the power of the person. | ||
| The Justice Department's not going to prosecute anyone. | ||
| Maybe they'll indict Hunter Biden, but that's it. | ||
| But we can start to punish people. | ||
| You want to punish the 51? | ||
| Pass a law in the budget next year that says anyone who signed that letter can never get a security clearance. | ||
| You can't make security contracts if you don't have a clearance. | ||
| And they never can get another federal dollar. | ||
| That would be a consequential thing for those 51. | ||
| Tony Blinken, if he continues to lie or if it's proven that he's lied, there's a very simple thing. | ||
| All right, the Biden Justice Department is not going to prosecute him. | ||
| He'll have to work for $1 going forward. | ||
| We'll defund his job and maybe defund his staff and defund his travel. | ||
| So he can be a secretary of state who plays hermit in Washington. | ||
| He can't leave the city because they won't fund the travel. | ||
| Those are the sort of things that Kevin McCarthy and his lieutenants and these chairmen are talking about in September when they passed the first budget in a decade. | ||
| They'll have that opportunity to do it. | ||
| If they do it, they deliver some accountability that Americans have been crying for. | ||
| If they don't, we're back to Benghazi too. | ||
| I want to turn now to something that you're currently working on, a new project you're just about to release and talk about. | ||
| And we had Darren Beattie on here talking about lawfare and the Dominion situation. | ||
| This is what I want all of our audience to read, to read the interview of the chairman, the exclusive on Axios. | ||
| Of the chairman and CEO of Dominion, because in the First Amendment, you should be able to see all this. | ||
| And one of the problems is what Darren B is talking about is about lawfare. | ||
| You've taken, you're very interested in this personally. | ||
| Walk us through this book you've just written. | ||
| Yeah, I wrote a children's book. | ||
| I never thought in a million years I would do that, but it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and it is born of two experiences. | ||
| One is a funny family moment that played out right here on Real America's Voice. | ||
| A couple years ago, my son, who's autistic, got a hamster. | ||
| My wife and him went away for a quick family trip. | ||
| I was left with one job. | ||
| Feed the hamster, don't lose him. | ||
| I fed him, but I lost the hamster. | ||
| He got out. I left the cage open. | ||
| I spent five hours on my hands and knees with a stethoscope finding him in an air conditioning vent, get him back in his cage. | ||
| I thought I had dodged a bullet. | ||
| The next day, Amanda Head, my co-host, told the entire world a funny story. | ||
| My wife found out I was in pretty big trouble. | ||
| So I figured I got to make amends for Chunk the Hamster. | ||
| So we came up with him as a character in this book. | ||
| But the real reason for the book... | ||
| is my extraordinary sorrow and pain that I witnessed starting in 19 when I saw elements of my profession, young reporters and journalists, thinking that censorship was good, and seeing people in government promoting censorship, seeing First Amendment advocates staying silent in the face of clear illegal censorship. | ||
| And I started to wonder, what's going on here? | ||
| And I found out something really important. | ||
| I know you've known this because you've been fighting the culture war. | ||
| I didn't pay this close attention. | ||
| There are two generations of Americans Who went through schools and were not told, taught the civic lessons about why the Bill of Rights is so important, why the First Amendment was first. | ||
| They actually were led to believe that censorship from the government could be a good thing in certain circumstances to benefit a larger collective. | ||
| All of those are anathema to the founding of this country and what our founding fathers wrote. | ||
| So I said, listen, I'm not going to sit here and take this. | ||
| I'm going to write a book so parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, everyone can... | ||
| Take their children and teach them that free speech is important, even if their teachers and their principals and their school districts wouldn't teach them that. | ||
| So Hidden Headlines with Brave Books, you go to bravebooks.us this month, you can get my book free if you sign up for their monthly book club. | ||
| It tells the story of a hamster, Chunk, who publishes a newspaper and he can't get it out to the public because the tubes in his hamster village are clogged by an evil koala bear named Carl. | ||
| modeled after Karl Marx, obviously. | ||
| And we tell this really fun story. | ||
| A dog called Seymour Clue solves a mystery. | ||
| They get the tubes unclogged in time to find out that there's going to be a major flood that threatens the city. | ||
| They rescue the town. Kids get a really fun, delightful story. | ||
| Parents get to teach a very important lesson about why free speech is important and censorship. | ||
| Very dangerous to the future of our country. | ||
| And I just want to shout out Brave Books, bravebooks.us. | ||
| They are the answer to Scholastica and all the woke book publishers out there today injecting things into our schools and libraries that parents don't want. | ||
| Brave Books has stepped into that void to create an alternative. | ||
| I'm just so proud to be part of it. | ||
| Go to bravebooks.us this week. | ||
| You can get my book free if you sign up for their book club or you can buy it a la carte. | ||
| Yeah, no, this Brave Books, these guys have done a tremendous job. | ||
| I mean, they're trying to be an alternative to Scholastic and other of these that have gone so woke. | ||
| That's why it's fantastic that your book was selected and picked up by them. | ||
| Walk us through again, where do people go to get the book and find out more information about the Brave Book Club and all of it? | ||
| Yeah, it's a fantastic group. | ||
| Bravebooks.us. | ||
| You can get my book free this month if you sign up for the month of the club. | ||
| Every month, if you join the club, every month you're going to get a family, pro-God, pro-America, family-friendly book from the great folks at Bravebooks. | ||
| I'm just huge fans of them. | ||
| We went to Philadelphia this weekend, and people were out the door waiting to have this book read to their children. | ||
| Kirk Cameron and I spent three, four, five hours together. | ||
| So exciting to see parents on the front lines value what Bravebooks are doing. | ||
| Great books. People want this. | ||
| Parents want this. John Solomon, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for Just the News, all the great investigative reporting you're doing, because now is the time that we need it, sir. | ||
| Thank you so much. Thank you, sir. | ||

Good to be with you. Thank you. | |
| Ben, we've been breaking down certain parts of this Ukraine situation. | ||
| Ben, you've got about a minute. | ||
| Tee up and out, but just give me the difference in the headline. | ||
| That's what I want to know before you come back after the break. | ||
| We'll break the story down. How they're trying to hide what they originally talked about to what they want the general audience to know. | ||
| Yes, Steve. Good morning to you. | ||
| So basically, very quickly, and I'll go into this a bit more detail after the break, The Atlantic published their cover story this week, and the war room's always on the case. | ||
| We noticed, we photoshopped it, we, not photoshopped it, A screen grabbed it, the changes in the headlines. | ||
| The first one was the case for the total liberation of Ukraine. | ||
| And one hour, 20 minutes later, that had become Zelensky's plan to defeat Russia and take back Crimea. | ||
| Now, after the break, I'll go into it and explain exactly why that headline was changed and what it is the neocons are trying to hide. | ||
| And just remember, you're paying for all this. | ||
| Even in this budget put forward, there were no real cuts to the Ukraine war effort. | ||
| That's all got to come next in the appropriations process. | ||
| Here's how much money we should be sending to Ukraine. | ||
| Zero. Zero. | ||
| They need to get to a negotiating table. | ||
| Negotiating table right now immediately. | ||
| Immediately and start to negotiate a peace. | ||
| They don't need China. Don't need the United States. | ||
| They need to get in her room and do this. | ||
| President Trump said he could do it in 24 hours. | ||
| Zelensky and Putin ought to take him up on that. | ||
| Short break, back in a moment. | ||

We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCP! | |
| This is your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Okay, um, with the invasion of the southern border, which now there are emergencies in all these cities. | ||
| We're going to talk about that more this evening. | ||
| Todd Benzman is going to join us. | ||
| He's got a 15-minute film that'll rattle you. | ||
| You've got the debt ceiling. | ||
| Even Chris Horst rattled. | ||
| He thinks we're going to have a trigger of default on June 1. | ||
| We're not. But this is going to be a cataclysmic battle. | ||
| We've got the beginning phase of Third World War. | ||
| The Ukraine Spring Offensive is starting up. | ||
| We don't know. And you have information warfare. | ||
| And you have cyber warfare. | ||
| And I'm going to talk about that in a second because this is the biggest priority concentrated military effort since really World War II is upon us. | ||
| And I want to go to Ben Harnwell first. | ||
| Ben, just a bunch of articles. | ||
| I want to make sure because this is the reporting coming out of Europe that's much more informed than reporting out of the United States. | ||
| First off, as we had the technical problem yesterday, you and I were having a great conversation about the Guardian first. | ||
| There was a big article about the oysters in Champaign among the elite in Kiev. | ||
| It's a town like Paris or Milan. | ||
| Or like the Hamptons at one level. | ||
| And then they came out with another article a day or two later that said that the working class and the middle class that are selling their goods basically survive day by day in which they actually reference the fact that the oligarchs and the wealthy and the people around them are doing very well. | ||
| Walk me through that quickly because then I want to get to the telegraph telling us, hey, I don't know what everybody's talking about, but we're not so sure they're winning this war. | ||
| That's right, Steve. I mean, I've got three articles to go through with you now. | ||
| And the common theme that runs through all of them is that basically our sociopathic overlords want your money to keep this war going at any cost. | ||
| And if it looks like peace should unexpectedly break out, They're gonna stamp that down and just keep this thing rolling. | ||
| So here's the first article, which you just mentioned in The Guardian, the headline, Porn Shops and Bread Cues Poverty Grips Ukraine As War Drags On. | ||
| And it's a tragic story, Steve. | ||
| It's basically how this war has pummeled the middle class and the working class of Ukraine And it's pummeled them into penury. | ||
| And there's these shocking stories illustrated with actual personal anecdotes of how, like, accountants and what have you that were professional working for companies, everything going well up until the war, and now they're reduced to pawning You know, telephones, cars, what have you, just in the hope that they can continue to put food on the table. | ||
| Now, the point I want to, the end, the end sentence, because I was reading this article thinking to myself, why is the Guardian pushing this story? | ||
| At the very end, it says that economist Olena Billen sees a deepening crisis, but says that without a huge package of financial support, there we go, from the international community, that is the United States, including pledges worth 43 billion, the situation would be much worse. | ||
| That's what this is about. | ||
| It's just a constant hit for the U.S. taxpayers' money. | ||
| I don't think particularly Kevin McCarthy is much interested in this. | ||
| He's already, I think, preparing for his eventual role. | ||
| But the point here is that they want your money. | ||
| The second point, Steve, is just think one moment what life was like in Ukraine before this war was brought about and why Western powers have kept it going. | ||
| People who had no expectations of having anything other than a blossoming future are now on the breadline. | ||
| And this can happen in Ukraine, because what's pushed them into poverty like this is this war. | ||
| And it's going to happen in the United States as well. | ||
| Middle-class people, they're driving around in lexuses, so they're thinking about the education of their kids and their long-term pensions and their healthcare. | ||
| And it's all going to go It's all going to disappear, and people in the United States will have the same future that people in Ukraine have. | ||
| There's a parallel situation there. | ||
| The second point that I want to mention now, coming back to this, is the Telegraph article which you were just mentioning. | ||
| And here, the headline is, Whisper it! | ||
| But Ukraine may no longer be winning. | ||
| That's what I call a crack of sunlight into the dog cave of lies and deceit that the mainstream media push and keep us in. | ||
| I'm going to go to the very end of this article, literally the last paragraph here, because I think that illustrates exactly what the context of the whole article is. | ||
| As long as Ukraine has the will to keep fighting, it must never be left to the whims of disingenuous actors who, sensing a stalemate, will try to force it to make peace on unfavourable terms. | ||
| Western complacency now may lead to such a disaster in the autumn. | ||
| That's basically saying that the West should do all that it can to keep this war going. | ||
| This is the new forever war. | ||
| This point is brought out perfectly, and I mentioned it just before the break, but now I'm going to have a quick moment to dive a little bit deeper here. | ||
| In this article, which is, as I say, the cover article of this month's edition of The Atlantic, I'm going to go back quickly and parallel these headlines just to indicate the difference here of the tone They tried to tone this down. | ||
| The original headline was the case for the total liberation of Ukraine. | ||
| Russia must be expelled from all Ukraine's territory, including Crimea, and of course, including Luhansk and Donetsk as well, presumably. | ||
| That was toned down to Zelensky's plan to defeat Russia and take back Crimea. | ||
| With the absurdly hyperbolic follow-on, the future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukrainian military can break the stalemate and drive Russia out of its territory. | ||
| Well, obviously, there are two points here. | ||
| The first point is they know the Atlantic, especially its authors here, Jeffrey Goldberg and Anne Applebaum, they've never met a war they didn't like, and all they're doing here is carrying water for the military-industrial complex. | ||
| I mean, that's absolutely clear. | ||
| That's all they've ever done for decades. | ||
| That's what they're doing here. They're just trying to keep this world going. | ||
| And how are they trying to do that, Steve? | ||
| Well, they know that in any eventual ceasefire or peace negotiations, Russia is never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to accept these terms. | ||
| What they're trying to do, therefore, what the US is trying to do is cement Ukraine into having this position that is all of its territory back, No compromise as Ukraine's red line. | ||
| Well, that's just going to kick this war on for decades because there's never, ever going to be a compromise around that. | ||
| And I think what the Atlantic did was say that they splashed their original position, realized very quickly That they're putting their cards on the table here, and then try to step back and be Mr. | ||
| Reasonable, and obviously with a heavy dose of scam. | ||
| I'll just repeat this, which I think is just deflection and diversion, that the future of the democratic world will be determined by whether the Ukraine military can break the stalemate. | ||
| It's absurd. It's absurd. | ||
| It's absurd and nonsense. | ||
| And this is what they're trying to do to make sure that we underwrite this entire fiasco. | ||
| Ben, just hang on. I'm going to bring Rebecca Koffler on in a second. | ||
| One of the things I want to mention that got me thinking over the last couple of days, because of the cyber element of this and what's happening in Taiwan, this spring offensive is going to be led by massive cyber attacks by both sides, by Ukraine and Russia. | ||
| And Russia, we know, is one of the tops in the world, probably maybe the best. | ||
| Ukraine, with the American military and artificial intelligence, can give as good as it gets. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party, what's happening in Taiwan, we already know. | ||
| There are already cyber assaults taking place on certain fleet elements there. | ||
| This is how they're prepping the battlefield. | ||
| Discussion on our economy, one of the things that's coming up is the cyber-industrial espionage that's taking place. | ||
| You know, it's $600 billion a year. | ||
| This is documented, $600 billion a year. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party steal intellectual property through mainly cyber assault. | ||
| They do half of cyber assaults, half of it's just companies rolling over. | ||
| That's $300 billion a year. | ||
| It's been over, I think, $3 trillion. | ||
| And to bring it back to our audience, you know, the Home Title Lock guys have come to me on a number of occasions doing practice runs of how easy it is. | ||
| With these sophisticated actors, the most sophisticated thieves in the world, the most sophisticated kind of combatants in the world is all through cyber now. | ||
| And artificial intelligence is already helping that. | ||
| You've seen the aspects of these clerks. | ||
| The county clerks with your titles is the most rudimentary thing in the world. | ||
| And I want to make sure particularly we're going to go through a massive downturn here. | ||
| Your anchor to Windward is going to be your home and the equity you have in your home. | ||
| Just remember that. I think 90 % of the net worth of the American people is tied up in their home. | ||
| That mortgage payment is essentially your savings account. | ||
| And you have to make sure in a world that's hurling towards a third world war where all this cyber and the cyber attacks are everywhere. | ||
| We're going to get to a second in what they think may be a drone attack on the Kremlin. | ||
| That in a world of cyber warfare, in a world of cyber espionage, in a world of artificial intelligence where the sophistication of these tools is rapidly increasing, Make sure you're not a victim. | ||

| So go check it out. Do not delay. | ||
| Go check that out today, and I'll be talking about that more tonight and tomorrow. | ||
| It's one of the things that worries me no end, that our audience is going to get caught up in this entire madness that's engulfing the world. | ||
| Here's the madness. You don't think it's madness? | ||
| The morning we wake up. Rebecca Koffler, you're the expert on this. | ||
| Was the Kremlin actually assaulted by a drone attack by the Ukrainian military? | ||
| The Ukrainian military is very sophisticated. | ||
| They've got all the advanced American weapons. | ||
| You've got American artificial intelligence. | ||
| You've got the most sophisticated drones in the world. | ||
| And these drones are like stable platforms. | ||
| There's drones that are now talking about are circling Taiwan 24-7, Chinese reaper-type drones in these weapons platforms. | ||
| Was the Kremlin... | ||
| Attacked today by a drone attack by the Ukrainian military, ma'am. | ||
| And that is the problem, Steve, is that it is not clear whether the Kremlin was or was not attacked by the drone. | ||
| But regardless, we are extremely vulnerable right now. | ||
| We are practically sitting on a powder keg right now, the nuclear powder keg. | ||
| Why? It's because the two countries are waging this war. | ||
| And it's not Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| It's actually the United States and Russia. | ||
| The US is in a proxy war with Russia. | ||
| As Ben Hanwell just explained, the US establishment, security establishment, is highly incentivized to keep this war going. | ||
| Why is that? It's because We believe that we're eroding Putin's military capability and weakening Russia's economy because we perceive that Russia is a top adversary to the US. The problem with this approach is this, is that at any time this war can go nuclear. | ||
| And we wargamed this exact scenario back at the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is the military counterpart to the CIA. And every single time, every war game ended up in a nuclear Armageddon. | ||
| I repeat, every single war game, even before going nuclear, there was an escalation period where space warfare and cyber warfare were the primary instrument. | ||
| Okay. Rebecca, hang on one second. | ||
| We'll take a short commercial break. | ||

We'll return with Rebecca Koffler in a moment. | |
| Let's take down the CCB! The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture. | ||
| Join the marketplace of ideas. | ||
| The platform for independent thought has arrived. | ||
| Superior technology. | ||
| No more selling your personal data. | ||
| No more censorship. | ||
| No more cancel culture. | ||
| Enough. Getter has arrived. | ||
| It's time to say what you want, the way you want. | ||
| Download now. | ||
| Rebecca Koffler, when you hear, and even the rumor of this, when you hear that there's a drone strike or maybe a potential drone strike, if you're inside the Kremlin, do they believe that's Zelensky and Ukraine doing that, or do they believe that's the United States of America doing that, ma'am? | ||
| They believe that the United States of America enables Ukraine to strike Russia. | ||
| And Zelensky several times stated himself that Ukraine will target Russia proper in this counteroffensive. | ||
| So my preliminary intelligence analysis tells me that there are three possible versions of who has done it. | ||
| No, I do not rule out the possibility that Zelenskyy indeed authorized a drone strike on the Kremlin's residence of Vladimir Putin. | ||
| That would be suicidal, however. | ||
| But if you look at what's going on, Ukraine is losing this war. | ||
| In fact, Ukraine was never winning this war. | ||
| There's no military path for victory for Ukraine. | ||
| And now we're actually learning from leaked documents that that is the case. | ||
| is enabling the annihilation of his own people, and he would lose his international hero status if, in fact, US withdrew support for Ukraine. | ||
| So he needs to do something drastic. | ||
| The second possibility is that the Russians are mounting what they call an active measure campaign or disinformation ahead of the May 9th Victory Parade to justify an escalation on Ukraine to strike the heart of Kyiv and to strike Zelensky's residents and just remove him from power. | ||
| And the third possibility, of course, is that there's a third party that is interested in escalating this conflict. | ||
| And there are plenty. | ||
| Regardless, the consequences of what's going on could be catastrophic. | ||
| And I am stunned at how lightly the White House is taking this war. | ||
| If you look at every time the White House and the Pentagon, the intelligence community, every time the North Korean rocket man does something, Everything gets out of control. | ||
| We fear Iran. | ||
| We fear North Korea. | ||
| But in the same breath, we're waging this war with the top nuclear power. | ||
| They have 6000 nuclear warheads and tactical nuclear warheads. | ||
| They hold a 1 to 10 advantage over us, over the United States. | ||
| And so this is absolutely irresponsible that Joe Biden has not dragged Zelensky to the negotiating table. | ||
| We're going to drill down more on this as the spring offensive kicks up. | ||
| Where do people go to get all the information on your books and your writings, ma'am? | ||
| I am on Truth on Getter and on Twitter at Rebecca0132. | ||

Thank you for having me, Steve. | |
| Rebecca Kofra, thank you very much. | ||
| Very insightful. Ben Harnwell. | ||
| And this is why, by the way, go to birchgold.com slash Ben, and I need everybody to get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| This is all tied up in this war. | ||
| Remember, the Russians backed the ruble with gold. | ||
| We tried to take down the ruble. | ||
| We tried to take down the Russian central bank, something we didn't do with the Nazis. | ||
| They backed it with gold, and they're one of the leaders of this BRICS that turned the world against the dollar. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com and get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Also ask a Birch Gold expert about why the central bank's buying all this gold and what does it mean to me, and maybe I ought to check into it. | ||
| You need to do that today. | ||
| Also with this cyber... | ||
| I need everyone in this audience. | ||
| HomeTitleLock.com. Just go there right now. | ||
| Put in Ben. You get 30 days free. | ||
| But learn the information about the last thing you need right now is somebody taking out a second mortgage. | ||
| Because on a cyber basis, they change your name, put it in their name. | ||
| They own your house. They took out a second. | ||
| You owe all the money. | ||
| You got none of the cash. You owe all that back. | ||
| You need to check that out today. | ||
| Check out HomeTitleLock.com. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, you've been doing amazing work on this. | ||
| Now we've got a potential drone strike. | ||
| It may be nothing, but at least the rumors are going on. | ||
| There's a drone strike on the Kremlin, and they don't think that's Zelensky. | ||
| They think that's the United States, sir. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think Rebecca Koffler had the second point there, was actually my preferential point, that if this was Ukraine, if they were the material cause of this, and obviously the United States is there in the background, | ||
| but if this was Ukraine, then they've just provided Moscow with a perfectly legitimate excuse to do what, in the last, how many, 15 months since this war's been around, Moscow's been too restrained to do this thus far, but they've now given the pretext that Moscow needs to act in exactly the same way back against Zelenskyy, which would be one way of ending the war. | ||
| Steve, I've got further analysis on the Atlantic article. | ||
| If I might just quickly say that if people, if they haven't already done so, they should register for our daily newsletter on warroom.org. | ||
| That's original content exclusive to the Worm. | ||
| And that article will be going out there in, I think, tomorrow's newsletter. | ||
| Apart from that, I'm also on Getter under my surname, which is at Harnwell. | ||
| And he's putting up exclusive content, as is Joe Allen, up on our morning newsletter. | ||
| Also, you can download the podcast. | ||
| Give us a review. We want all the reviews we can have. | ||
| Of course, you can get Ben up on Getter. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you for taking time away to join us today. | ||
| And all your great reporting on Ukraine has been amazing. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. God bless. Okay, Charlie Kirk is next here on Real America's Voice. | ||
| You get a couple hours more of populism, nationalism served up hot. | ||
| We're going to be back at five. | ||
| I'm going to have Nigel Farage on. | ||
| We're trying to track down Nigel. | ||
| Talk to us about he's doing an interview with Donald J. Trump today. | ||
| I think he's doing it in Scotland. | ||
| He's going to do the interview. | ||
| He's going to play it. We're going to get some clips from it. | ||
| Also, John Fund is going to join us. | ||
| John, about the deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| A massive tell yesterday in the Supreme Court. | ||
| They said they're going to take on a case about the Chevron exemption. | ||
| This is one of the central, the central judicial ruling about the administrative state. | ||
| So we're going to get to all that. Back at 5 o'clock, Cortez is going to join us. | ||
| Maybe not the Cortez you know and love. | ||
| Derek Harvey. It's going to be packed at 5 and at 6. | ||
