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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

|
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| We don't want young kids, you know, drag queen story hour for first graders. | ||
| I mean, I've seen that we're debating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to talk about Ron DeSantis. | |
| Permission to do so? Permission granted. | ||
| I'm going to quote Kellyanne Conway from earlier in the day. | ||
| Ron DeSantis needs an economic plan if he's going to run for president. | ||
| Ron DeSantis needs an energy plan if he's going to run for president. | ||
| And he ought to be focusing on that. | ||
| And this doesn't do that. | ||
| Wait a minute. You don't think the issue of inappropriate, age-inappropriate sexual material or gender identity information or CRT, that that has to get out of our schools? | ||
| These kids can't read, write, do math, science, or know a thing about computers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guess what? What? Parents vote, but the schools are a state and local issue. | |
| And you know what people care about? | ||
| Inflation. Because people's wages adjusting for inflation have gone down about 4 % under Joe Biden. | ||
| And Ron DeSantis does not have an economic plan as of yet. | ||
| And today, Disney just pulled a $1 billion investment out of Florida. | ||
| And these are six-figure jobs. | ||
| And he's picked a fight with Disney for But this is a state issue. | ||
| I mean, I think it's important that we're indoctrinating our kids and that we're not giving them the education that they need for life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, I agree with Dagan on a point that we need to focus on the economy, right? | |
| Because the American people care about it. | ||
| I'm saying he's running for president. | ||
| He's doing this heading out, you know, ending the legislative session. | ||
| But there are a lot of big potholes. | ||
| All right. That's it. I think this needs to fill. | ||
| Okay, Friday 19 May in the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| This gets to the point I've been making for a while, since the disastrous worldwide trip in four days that led to the implosion in the city of London, which is London's Wall Street with Governor DeSantis. | ||
| There's one thing to be a governor. | ||
| I think he's doing a very good job as governor, right? | ||
| But Hannity gets schooled right there. | ||
| These issues, a lot of these issues are state and local issues, right? | ||
| Maybe not to fight with Disney, but that's a separate thing. | ||
| But that's not something to run for president on. | ||
| You've got to have a plan. You have a full spectrum energy dominance plan. | ||
| You have to have a geopolitical strategy. | ||
| You have to have an economic plan, a plan on the border, all of it. | ||
| I mean, Donald J. Trump gave us four years of peace and prosperity. | ||
| I have asked. Don Jr., who's been traveling a lot, and Don Jr., I really appreciate you doing this, sir, and changing your schedule around. | ||
| But I had to start today, because I heard reports last night at NRCC dinner, and all the DeSantis guys are going around, and you got Mike Pence one day, you got Chris Christie the next day, you got Asa Hutchinson, you got what I call the Keebler elves, right? | ||
| All of them combined. It's an 80-20 race right now, right? | ||
| And we know of the 20, 10 of those will come back over. | ||
| There's 8 % that are never Trumpers. | ||
| We got that. Give me your thoughts about this because you think like me, I think, a lot in that, hey, we got to stop the nonsense and get on with it, sir. | ||
| Well, a couple of things. I mean, as to that clip, before I get to my thoughts on the sort of the bigger picture, it's like, yeah, you know, I've been talking about like combating the groomers and all of those people for years. | ||
| Ron DeSantis picked up on it a few weeks ago because it's the thing that goes viral on Twitter or his influencers can push. | ||
| It's not like he's the first guy on this subject. | ||
| A lot of the people like me have been talking about this stuff for years. | ||
| It's just able to go viral. | ||
| And so that whole created personality, it's why you talked about the London meeting when all these people they're seeing and following it on social. | ||
| He must be a real badass out there. | ||
| And it's like, oh God, you get in a room with him and you realize that ain't the case, man. | ||
| It's not the same. So that's an issue that you can create a viral moment around. | ||
| You can dunk on some stupid local reporter. | ||
| You can do those sorts of things and create a personality that is far from what actually is. | ||
| Create a personality that doesn't actually exist. | ||
| That's an easier issue to be like, I'm going after the No one wants the groomers, of course. | ||
| Again, people like me have been talking about it for years before DeSantis even mentioned it once. | ||
| Now he's doing it because it can go viral. | ||
| You're talking about inflation. | ||
| It's a little harder to go viral. | ||
| Energy independence, all of the other issues that are out there. | ||
| So it's not that it's not an issue, but it's the only thing you can make him appear attractive on. | ||
| When you talk about the bigger picture, you're right, Steve. | ||
| It's 100 percent either donor-driven or consultant-driven. | ||
| What people don't get about the game of politics is how much money is involved. | ||
| The consultants on the DeSantis campaign and maybe a couple of the others, I think most of them are on sort of book tours, you know, the CNBC conservative commentator tour, so they can do a couple things. | ||
| They'll take some shots at Trump. | ||
| They'll be, you know, whatever, moderates on TV and all of a sudden they'll get a gig, you know, twice a week on CNBC or CNN. But for a guy like DeSantis, it's consultant driven. | ||
| Those guys are going to take 10, 20, sometimes more, 25 to 50 percent of the ad buys. | ||
| Every commercial that you see for Ron DeSantis, people on that team are going to take a percentage of the cost of that commercial, a big percentage. | ||
| Every time you have a dollar raised, the fundraising guy gets something, the guy that did the web processing, their buddy's doing the credit card processing. | ||
| In many cases, north of 50 % of that money is going directly into their pockets. | ||
| They have no ideology. | ||
| They couldn't care less. | ||
| They need him to run because if he doesn't run, they're not making any money this cycle. | ||
| They're not working for Trump. | ||
| They're not working for another credible candidate. | ||
| They need him to run and they need him to stay in as long and spend as much money as possible because the more money spent, The more money they are putting in their pockets directly, and each and every one of those dollars, Steve, is a dollar that we're not using to take on Joe Biden. | ||
| It's a dollar that we're not using or won't have in the war chest to be able to create the ballot harvesting operations. | ||
| In the, you know, let's call it seven, you know, purple states or the swing states or the places where we have a chance. | ||
| We are depleting our resources like we're doing with the war in Ukraine and so many other things. | ||
| But we are going to get ourselves where we're not going to be able to compete with the machine and a dolt. | ||
| An absolute imbecile like Joe Biden will be able to walk right in because the Democrat donors are loving this. | ||
| And it's there to benefit a few guys who have no ideology but are looking to get very, very rich off of the Santa's throne. | ||
| It's some of these donors that hate Trump that are anti-populist, anti-nationalist, globalist donors like Ken Griffin, these guys. | ||
| And a guy like Jeff Rose is going to make 35 million bucks. | ||
| That's what this is all about. Don Jr., your theory of the case here. | ||
| Are you saying that this primary's over, we gotta stop messing around? | ||
| All resources, all focus, all energy's got to be focused on the general election right now, sir? | ||
| Listen, I'm doing that based on numbers. | ||
| If it was close, I wouldn't say that. | ||
| I'd say, hey, put Trump in the debates. | ||
| You have to do that. | ||
| You don't have a choice. But when I see the numbers, also, more importantly, Steve, where I see the trend each time, Trump's exonerated for that. | ||
| Now you have the report coming out. | ||
| So any of those people that had any doubt Why is Trump upset? | ||
| Maybe he's talking about these things. | ||
| All of the conspiracy theories are coming true, right? | ||
| Now you have Durham report. | ||
| You have a president that had an incredible record of accomplishment, got stuff done, and now you know literally what we all probably knew, what you and I certainly knew for years, but for those who aren't paying attention as much, now it's like, wait a minute. | ||
| So Trump did all of those things despite the major agencies of our intelligence community literally going after him. | ||
| Literally attacking him, hanging these things over his head. | ||
| You saw that he got virtually no help from even the Republicans. | ||
| And what's great about Trump, I think, honestly, as a as a one term president with all of this information out there, it's not hindsight anymore. | ||
| You can't be you're not. I'm wondering if maybe they did. | ||
| He knows he can go. | ||
| He can clean house because Washington, D.C. and that establishment needs to be burned to the ground. | ||
| Scorched Earth, you need to get rid of everyone to save the Republic. | ||
| Ditto. That is the perfect summation of exactly where we stand. | ||
| I asked your dad when I had this conversation with him a couple weeks ago in Mar-a-Lago, and I want to thank the team there for setting it up. | ||
| I asked him, I said, if you're at the top of the escalator, knowing everything you've known now, they're trying to put you in bankruptcy, they're trying to put all your kids in jail, they're trying to put you in jail, you've got 50 indictments coming at you, total lawfare, and if you read this book, Letters to Trump. | ||
| And the reason I love this thing, you see the affection, respect from the great and the good of the late 20th century and early 21st century. | ||
| And he said, no, I'd do it again because I got to save my country. | ||
| I mean, that's and now and here's the thing. | ||
| Trump's doing it again. | ||
| He's like Cincinnatus. After they stole the election, he won an election with 74 million votes. | ||
| Any other guy in the world would have said, okay, screw it. | ||
| Boom! Trump's back, back bigger than he ever was. | ||
| That's like ancient Rome, Cincinnatus returning from the plow to save the republic. | ||
| Don Jr., this book, though, gives you incredible insights into your dad. | ||
| He knew it even then. | ||
| You mentioned the escalator ride. | ||
| Would you do it again? Right before the escalator ride, there was the elevator ride from the office down to the escalator. | ||
| We were on there as a family. | ||
| The last thing he said to me before he went and gave the speech was he looked me in the eyes and said, and now we find out who our real friends are. | ||
| That meant two things to me. | ||
| It shows Seriously. | ||
| That's literally what he said. | ||
| I wrote about it in my book. | ||
| He said that, but it showed two things, right? | ||
| It showed, A, he understood. | ||
| He understood exactly what would happen. | ||
| I mean, and that was like letters to Trump. | ||
| When I put letters to Trump together, it was looking through the archives of some of his stuff as we're moving things down to Florida and getting out of the People's Republic of New York. | ||
| And I'm like, oh my God, like all of these people, you know, the Alec Baldwins, the presidents and world leaders and royalty, you know, kissing his butt. | ||
| And how that all changed. | ||
| So he knew that would happen. | ||
| But more importantly, what that statement said was he knew it would happen and he did it anyway. | ||
| He did it anyway. | ||
| And now, you know, you're right. You spent hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees dealing with these nonsense. | ||
| You're dealing with, you know, the Mueller stuff and this and that and two impeachments. | ||
| And, you know, every time he's exonerated, but you still have to deal with it, right? | ||
| There's still a consequence. There's still a penalty. | ||
| And they are trying to break us. | ||
| You know, I understand, Steve, I understand that I am not the upstanding citizen that Hunter Biden is. | ||
| I get that. I get that, but I did 50 hours of congressional testimony for treason, a crime punishable by death. | ||
| You know, minor details. | ||
| He gets to, you know, sell fake artwork for half a million dollars and no one will even question it. | ||
| That's the difference. That's what we're up against. | ||
| And so putting letters to Trump together, you can get it at 45books.com. | ||
| It was this walk down history of like, oh my God, how things changed. | ||
| How hypocritical so many of these people are who, the second Trump became a Republican or announced that he was a Republican, all of that love was gone. | ||
| I mean, I think the letter from Obama is sort of amazing, talking about democracy and this and how we must defend, like, meanwhile he's spying on them, he knows all about this, he knows about the setup, he's intimately involved in every aspect of these things, but he can sit there and preach democracy because they're full of crap. | ||
| It's just a fascinating one for people to see and to understand, again, just how fake So many of these people are. | ||
| Just how phony these celebrities are. | ||
| Just how willing they are to use anyone in their path. | ||
| And then change tune on an instant. | ||
| There's no loyalty. It's pretty sick. | ||
| And so I think it's an important thing for people to understand. | ||
| And I think it's also important to understand just exactly what Trump gave away By doing this, just what he put at risk, and as to the quote I was talking about, again, he knew it, he knew what was going to happen, he knew how vicious they'd be, and he did it anyway because it's worth it, because it's worth saving, again, the republic. | ||
| Yeah. The patriotism of this man is incredible. | ||

| Don Jr., how do people get to your podcast and your content? | ||
| Well, simple. | ||
| I'm on Rumble. I'm live Mondays at 6 and Thursdays at 6 for my Triggered podcast. | ||
| You can find me on social. | ||
| I put together a news site that PNC Bank tried canceling and everything like that. | ||
| So that just aggregates news. | ||
| We could take something off of War Room and put it up there. | ||
| We could take something from the New York Times. | ||
| Apparently that was enough to get some of the major banks to try to cancel us. | ||
| They didn't want to do business with us simply for aggregating news, for making available news to people so they could see both sides of a story. | ||
| Apparently in 2023, that is actually still too much. | ||
| So that's MXM news. | ||

Thank you, sir. Okay, I want to thank Don Jr. | |
| for changing up his schedule. | ||
| He travels more than anybody I know. | ||
| It's just crazy. For the War Room Posse, by the way, I just want to give you a heads up. | ||
| 81,000 tickets sold to the War Room Posse for the Jim Caviezel movie, Sound of Freedom. | ||
| And I'll be playing some clips of the interview we had yesterday with Jim, hopefully later in the show tonight, also tomorrow, and commenting, giving some observations on that. | ||
| And we're going to get Jim back in next week or so. | ||

| The book about President Trump is very important. | ||
| Here's why. It shows you how he was in the culture. | ||
| And not just in the culture, a central part of modern American culture at one time. | ||
| And he gave all that up. | ||
| And he gave all that up knowingly. | ||
| Just heard from Don Jr. He gave all that up understanding how bad it could be. | ||
| It was ten times worse, a hundred times worse, and from Durham to all this you can see it. | ||
| But then the character of the man is shown by the second time. | ||
| And that's why this whole primary, it's a joke, has nothing to do with taking the country forward. | ||
| It has nothing to do With saving our republic. | ||
| Trump has come back from the plow like Cincinnatus, like a mythical heroic character from ancient history, from the Roman Republic. | ||
| Called back from retirement to save the republic. | ||
| Knowing what he knows about everything, he's come back for the second time, and it's not competitive. | ||
| We must be focused on the main thing, and the main thing is the removal of the illegitimate Biden presidency. | ||
| All of the fruits of the poison tree, it all goes back to that. | ||
| Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| If you want to see President Trump in a light that he's never been shown before, Letters to Trump, you go to 45books.com, go to Put in War Room, everybody will give you a discount. | ||

| It won't be, like I said, you put that on your coffee table and people come in that see it and want to spit on the floor. | ||
| Have them thumb through a few pages first. | ||
| And then see what they think. | ||
| Okay, I've got, we got, we're jammed this morning, and I've got Mark Jephtovic. | ||
| By the way, the big crypto conference is down in Miami, and so the crypto capitalist joins us, Mark Jephtovic. | ||
| Give us a sense, what is the, a little bit of the buzz is off crypto, although it's coming back. | ||
| Walk me through what the speakers are saying, what are people saying, particularly You've had this basic destruction of the U.S. dollar, precious metals. | ||
| The birch gold guys are on fire because people look at gold as a hedge. | ||
| Where does alternative currencies and crypto particularly stay in this, Mark? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Steve. Nice to see you again. | |
| Yeah, I'm back again this year at Bitcoin 2023. | ||
| I'm in front of the Bitcoin Velourian. | ||
| I don't know if you get a good shot of it there. | ||
| And yesterday they had a hearse, the fiat hearse. | ||
| It was a coffin full of fiat dollars, real dollars. | ||
| It was like, no, but this is the end of the fiat currency system. | ||
| We're seeing that with the regional banks and the bailouts for some, but not for you if you're not well enough connected. | ||
| We've got You know, Elizabeth Warren out there with the anti-crypto army, and yet we have politicians coming this year to Bitcoin 2023 from all sides of the aisle. | ||
| We've got RFK Jr. | ||
| is giving a keynote today. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard is an independent. | ||
| She's here. The chairman of the House Finance Committee, his name is Moodsme, Mackle. | ||
| What's his name? He's here today, too. | ||
| McHenry. Patrick McHenry is here. | ||
| So they're all here because Bitcoin is a constituency and people are realizing that the people are taking their monetary matters back into their own hands. | ||
| And they're taking sovereignty over their own money. | ||
| And the politicians who are having ear for this, who are paying attention to this, Are the ones who are going to be part of the future and the ones like Elizabeth Warren with this anti-crypto army nonsense are going to be left behind. | ||
| No one's going to take her seriously or anyone like her. | ||
| What is the talk about the Federal Reserve's, this Federal Reserve blockchain cryptocurrency, which will be the end of the American Republic and be the end of our freedom and liberty? | ||
| What's the talk down there on that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's the CBDCs that are coming, the central bank digital currencies. | |
| These are the Hail Mary plays by central banks and centralized states that want to extend the lifespan of these fiat currencies, which are printing their way to zero, take away all your privacy, monitor all your transactions, tax them as they're going. | ||
| Versus the anti-CBDC, which is Bitcoin, which is private, which nobody can take away from you. | ||
| One of the people down here this year is Ben Dictor, who was the leader of the Freedom Convoy in Canada last year. | ||
| Well, I'm from Canada. | ||
| He's from Canada. We saw bank accounts being seized by the government because of what we were doing politically, speaking out and supporting political causes that the government didn't believe in. | ||
| It happened already a year ago, government seizing your bank accounts. | ||
| Well, that was the biggest sales job for Bitcoin ever in Canada. | ||
| That orange-billed a lot of people, and a lot of them are down here at this conference because we see what's coming, we see where the battle lines are drawn, and it's going to be Bitcoin versus the CBDCs, and Bitcoin's going to win. | ||
| Tell me about RFK's keynote. | ||
| RFK Jr. has announced he's running for president in the Democratic primary. | ||
| Talk to me about the thoughts of the pregame buzz on his keynote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's what's funny about RFK. When he announced his candidacy, I saw these mainstream media screen grabs saying experts are worried about the spread of misinformation because RFK has thrown his name into the ring. | |
| It's just centralized. | ||
| It's top-down control. | ||
| Meanwhile, RFK is coming here to Bitcoin 2023. | ||
| He showed up on Noster, which is a completely decentralized It's like Twitter, but not even centralized. | ||
| There's not even a benevolent dictator of Noster the way there is of Twitter right now. | ||
| Nobody can censor you on Noster. | ||
| No one can take down one of your tweets. | ||
| RFK showed up on Noster. | ||
| He's here at Bitcoin 2023. | ||
| He's embracing the future the way some of these other politicians are, and these are the ones who are going to... | ||
| Or inherit the future, at least on the political landscape. | ||
| He's in touch with the times. | ||
| Everybody else, like the Liz Warrens of the world, they're completely detached and out of touch with the times. | ||
| Mark, how do people get to you on social media, particularly follow you while you're down there? | ||
| This conference is the top crypto conference of the year. | ||
| How do people follow you, sir? | ||
|

So it's BombThrower on Getter, StuntPope on Twitter, BombThrower on Noster. | |
| You can go to BombThrower.com, get on the mailing list, or the BitcoinCapitalist.com. | ||
| Any of those places, I'm there. | ||
| Here's... Here's the great thing about Jeff Tavik. | ||
| Once every two weeks, he'll write something on Bombthor or one of the other sites. | ||
| It's so amazing. | ||
| It'll end up on Zero Hedge a couple days later. | ||
| So if you want to get it first, get it hot. | ||
| Get up on Bombthor. Jeff Tavik, thank you very much, brother, for joining us. | ||

|
Thanks, Steve. Always a pleasure. | |
| Thanks, man. By the way, the key is... | ||
| We've got to build an alternative economy. | ||
| Even when we take the apparatus back over, it's going to be Stalingrad every day. | ||
| We must build an alternative economy. | ||
| You have to stop giving your money to people that hate you, number one, on the consumer and the product and the services side. | ||
| The other is we have to end the Fed. | ||
| The Federal Reserve is this. | ||
| Remember, the apparatus, the way they can have these Out of control spending bills that are really just liabilities to you. | ||
| Because it's not going into capital equipment. | ||
| It's just going to spend. They're burying you. | ||
| And they're devaluing the currency that they control. | ||
| The American people do not own their own currency. | ||
| It's an obscenity. | ||
| It's an obscenity. | ||
| And it's not just the ownership of the Fed and particularly the ownership of the New York Fed, which is owned by these big banks. | ||
| Why the broker-dealers and the banks own the New York Fed, which is the massive trading desk? | ||
| That's how all the liquidity gets into the system. | ||
| This is how the concentration of wealth goes. | ||
| If you want me to take the wealth, the 1%, and to back out everything that's happened from 2008 and all the wealth they got, I can go back to every transaction. | ||
| Mr. Computer, I can go back to literally every transaction I've done to blow up the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, the $9.5 trillion that's created so much wealth for the 1 % and allowed them to concentrate wealth. | ||
| We have to end the Fed. | ||
| As long as they have that, that's what this whole debt ceiling fight's about. | ||
| And this debt ceiling fight is going at many levels. | ||
| And the House Freedom Caucus yesterday put out a statement. | ||
| And now Axios, I have the Axios piece up. | ||
| Yellen is calling not just CEOs of the big banks. | ||
| She's calling CEOs of major corporations saying it's the end. | ||
| You know, you guys got to be putting more pressure. | ||
| You're supposed to be Republicans. | ||
| You got to be putting more pressure. | ||
| You know what the Axios, the buried lead is? | ||
| They told her, she said, hey, these guys, these MAGA Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus, you can't get to them. | ||
| Because they don't pay attention to us. | ||
| They don't pay attention to the corporatist. | ||
| They don't pay attention to the globalist. | ||
| It is a massive buried lead in the Axios big scoop this morning on Janet Yellen. | ||
| You can't get to them. | ||
| Why? Because MAGA is a populist nationalist movement. | ||
| It's anti-globalist. | ||
| It's anti-elitist. | ||
| And now you're seeing it. | ||
| That's where this huge fight, and quite frankly, that's why in this situation, Governor DeSantis, I think, is a very good governor of Florida. | ||
| And I think you ought to get focused and fill out the second term. | ||
| He's so not ready for prime time and so not ready for the scale of it. | ||
| The trip to Korea, an embarrassing disaster. | ||
| The trip to Japan, an embarrassing disaster. | ||
| The trip to Israel is what it is. | ||
| The trip to London, is one of the worst disasters and embarrassments and humiliations of any public figure that's gone over there. | ||
| London's in the business as the global capital. | ||
| Of weighing and measuring people and see who is found wanting. | ||
| That was Ron DeSantis. | ||
| And they just came out because they thought, look, they all hate Trump. | ||
| They hate him with a burning passion. | ||
| And they said, this is a guy that's going to beat Trump or basically bench press Putin and bench press the mullahs and Xi and the Chinese Communist Party and stand up to the House Assad and mini-me in North Korea. | ||
| I don't think so. Homie, don't think so. | ||
| Not gonna happen. Those guys know. | ||
| And that's why he saw some of the big donors like Schwarzman Bale. | ||
| Okay. We got a lot of wood to chop. | ||
| Jack Posobiec is back. | ||
| And Jack Posobiec is on fire. | ||
| He's had a couple of Twitter threads that are just amazing. | ||
| He's got thoughts in Ukraine on the southern border. | ||
| And in Posobiec fashion, he's gonna tie it all together for you in the war room next. | ||

| On the situation of alternative currency, one thing to do, remember, whether it's going to be the cryptocurrencies or whether it's going to be gold or some combination of that, what I can tell you is that the fiat money has been ruined by the elites in the establishment. | ||
| They did this to the country. | ||
| They enriched themselves as they destroyed the nation. | ||
| Let me just be blunt. And you can see in any number of indices. | ||
| But their greed and their avarice and their contempt for you. | ||
| That's no primer. | ||
| There's nothing to talk about. Trump gave us four years of peace and prosperity. | ||
| I don't care if it's orange man bad. | ||
| You don't like the sound of his voice. | ||
| He sends out some mean tweets. | ||

Big deal. Grow up. | |
| See the fight that we're in. | ||
| See the war that we're in. | ||
| And you're telling me, let me see, Mike Pence and Chris Christie and Asa Hutchison and Nikki Haley. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Didn't we have this conversation in the 16? | ||
| It's not. There is no Republican Party. | ||
| That's all some mythical, you know, Daniel McCarthy laid it. | ||
| That's some Karl Rove fantasy of something that doesn't exist anymore. | ||
| There's a populist nationalist Trump movement. | ||
| That is stood up to the globalists in this nation that are out to destroy this country. | ||
| Have you seen your southern border lately? | ||
| You seen the 10 million illegal aliens that are here? | ||
| You seen what they're doing to the economy? | ||
| You see the fantasy? Who is more mature? | ||
| Just ask yourself. Who's more mature? | ||
| Who has more discernment in this entire budget fight, the death fight, than you? | ||
| Who's sitting there going, hey, we just can't continue to do this because even if we give you the three and a half Now, or the couple trillion you want now, we'll be back here in a couple of months. | ||
| Because this out-of-control spending is just going to get us to $50 trillion in the face amount of Treasury. | ||
| We'll be paying $2, $2.5 trillion a year in interest because the interest rates have to be jacked up because of your inflation. | ||
| This is pure populism, and the populists are The mature adults in the room here, not the Imperial City, which is out of control because they have a funding mechanism called the Federal Reserve to just continue to print money. | ||
| And you're saying, you're staying athwart that and saying, no, that game is over. | ||
| Full stop. Make sure you go check out birchgold.com right now. | ||
| Get the End of the Dollar Empire that completes their totally free and download the debt trap. | ||
| You get all the nomenclature, everything you need to know to be part of this fight because, hey, it's going to get ugly. | ||
| Trust me. The House Freedom Caucus put it yesterday. | ||
| We are done with passing bills about debt ceiling relief. | ||
| There's no more bills, so don't come back here with any changes to it. | ||
| None. Zero. We're not happy about this one, but this is what you got. | ||
| So the battle is about to be engaged and you're about to be turned on big league. | ||
| Jack Posobiec is now back with us. | ||
| Jack, I just want to turn it over to you because you've been putting up these Twitter threads that are brilliant. | ||
| I've talked to you a couple of times behind the scenes. | ||
| You've got a real sense from Ukraine. | ||
| You spent time over in Europe and Eastern Europe. | ||
| Give us a sense of where we stand in this global war, this global conflict, the situation between the nationalist and the populist, sir, or the nationalist populist versus the elite globalist, sir. | ||
| Well, Steve, and that's why I'm glad that I was able to come on because we've got the piece up at humanevents.com and I'm actually tying all of this together, all of these various threads. | ||
| And I had some time while I was over in Europe, we did CPAC Budapest, met with Warban, was able to sit down and speak with him. | ||
| And the point is, is that all of this comes together. | ||
| If you want to focus on culture, If you want to focus on the culture of our spiritual crisis in America, if you want to focus on crime, voting, our supply chain, our labor force, our trade, then you must focus on the migrant crisis and put this first. | ||
| And conservatives and populists and just Americans in general understood this in 2016. | ||
| And that is what made Trump the seminal candidate that he was in 2016, because he changed the delta of attack between Republicans and Democrats. | ||
| The old school GOP, that's tax cuts, that's, you know, trying to set up all this other stuff that's going on. | ||
| And I've got a little buddy here. | ||

|
Okay. Thank you, Jack-Jack. | |
| All right. Thank you, Jack-Jack. | ||
| I'll be with you in one minute, okay? | ||
| Okay. Let's go over there right now. | ||
| Actually, we can get Jack-Jack. | ||
| Jack-Jack actually always has something more important than his father, but I digress. | ||
| It is much more important. But no, family first, folks. | ||
| Family first, even when you're on the war room. | ||
| But my point here is that... | ||
| This migrant crisis that we're looking at across the border, it's not just our poorest border, Steve. | ||
| Joe Biden and the Democrats want to give these people the ability to vote. | ||
| And they're going to pass a general amnesty. | ||
| And what does that mean? That means a permanent blue majority forever. | ||
| And a permanent blue majority forever would be catastrophic for our nation. | ||
| That sometimes we allow the news of the day, whether Bud Light's gonna put up a new psycho on a beer ad or Miller or Ford, I think is the new one that's out there now. | ||
| We get distracted by the shiny object and we've forgotten about the migrant crisis. | ||
| Look what mass migration did to Europe. | ||
| It is continuing to do this to Western Europe. | ||
| That's why Western Europe... | ||
| is so soft right now because they've put everything else on the back burner. | ||
| But you look over at Eastern Europe. | ||
| You look at Poland. You look at Hungary. | ||
| They're focused on preserving their culture. | ||
| They're focused on preserving their heritage, preserving their families. | ||
| We've got pro-family growth policies. | ||
| Look, California used to be a red state, but Reagan pushed amnesty. | ||
| I'm sorry to the Gipper, but we've got to point this out. | ||
| He did push for amnesty. | ||
| And now, California will be a blue state forever. | ||
| He also shut down the mental institutions, and we can talk about all the psychos on the street right now. | ||
| But folks, we have to remember that when Trump strategically changed the delta of attack, it's not about It's not about, oh, we're gonna spend more on war, so we're gonna continue the grift on Ukraine, we're gonna continue the grift. | ||
| Remember, Syria was the big one, but Syria, they lost anyway, and Assad's now being brought back into the Arab League. | ||
| He's over there right now, meeting with all the countries that were trying to kick him out and get him out of power. | ||
| That's how bad the U.S. has done. | ||
| But the problem is, Steve, is that we have oligarchs in this country the same way we do in Eastern Europe, or same way they do in places like Ukraine and Russia and China. | ||
| The Republican oligarchs are thinking, oh great, we'll never have to hire an American again. | ||
| The Democrat oligarchs are thinking, great, we'll never have to work to win an election again. | ||
| That's the dirty little secret of the Uniparty. | ||
| That's why they're fighting Trump so hard. | ||
| That's why trade and immigration are the two priority issues that form the core nucleus of the new right versus the old right. | ||
| And if you have any candidate out there And I haven't seen anyone other than Trump. | ||
| We're hearing people are announcing every day in this race, and yet no one else has put that front and center. | ||
| So when you look at these crazy videos, whether it be Michael Yanda at the Darien Gap, our own Ben Berkwam, whoever saw Oscar Blue down there, these are the new Democrat voters of the permanent majority. | ||
| They will change everything in this country. | ||
| And you must understand, we must understand, that this is what our movement is about. | ||
| And Steve, I'll tell you right now, and you know this more than anyone else, That is why Trump won the Rust Belt in 2016. | ||
| That is what caused all of those, they're more, I would say, cultural Democrats, your union Democrats, your working class Democrats, to cross the aisle, not just the picket line, but cross the aisle and vote for Trump. | ||
| It was because he focused on these issues first. | ||
| He wasn't selling us out. | ||
| to the major corporations. | ||
| He didn't have these massive big-dollar donors. | ||
| It wasn't Wall Street. It wasn't the globalists who were deeply in bed with China. | ||
| No, it was Trump. When he went up there to the audio manufacturers, when he went up there to China and said, I'm going to treat you as subservient to the American people, no one had ever spoken to him that way. | ||
| No one had ever spoken to them that way. | ||
| But you know who listened? The workers, the people who live in Michigan, the people who live in Wisconsin, the people who live in western Pennsylvania, the people who have been screwed over by globalism. | ||
| Whether it's the trade deals or the migrant crisis on our border, these need to be our seminal issues. | ||
| You know, I had a poster when I was a kid of a quote. | ||
| It was a sailboat with a beautiful sunset back of it. | ||
| I remember up in the wall with the room my kid brother and I shared. | ||
| It was a quote by T.S. Eliot. | ||
| It said, the thing about travel is you leave home, but you return and you're able to see it anew for the first time. | ||
| Was it... Was it in Hungary or when you were in Poland? | ||
| Was it you taking this trip and going for a couple of weeks to Europe and seeing what Orban's doing in the fight there that you were able to kind of put this, look at it in whole cloth and contextualize exactly what's happening here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was it the trip to Budapest? | |
| Not only Budapest, which is just amazing. | ||
| What an incredible city. And then also we took some time and we went and visited the village that the Posobics are from. | ||
| This little hamlet out in the middle of nowhere, not very far, by the way, from the eastern border with Ukraine, and also understanding what it means to lose possibly everything. | ||
| And we have a beautiful basilica out there. | ||
| I was able to take my boys for the very first time. | ||
| But then also understanding that in a place that's seen so much bloodshed, A place that was wiped off the map how many times? | ||
| 150 out of the last 200 years, Poland has not had independence or even its own nation for the majority of that time. | ||
| What did Poland do to maintain its integrity after its invaders and its neighbors were destroying it for so many years? | ||
| And it's simple. Language, culture, and religion. | ||
| That if you put those at the foremost of your people. | ||
| Whether you do not let them take your language, you do not let them take your culture, and you do not let them take your religion, then you let, I mean, tell me something that the Polish people haven't survived. | ||
| And then the immortal words of the Polish national anthem, Poland has not yet perished. | ||
| Poland still exists. | ||
| And it's amazing to me every time I go back there and I remember and I see The faces of the people that lived through it, with some of the older relatives, when I meet with the people, when I see the families now that are flourishing by the way, but also with the understanding that you could lose it all in an instant. | ||
| In your trips, as you saw this, tell me about, because you've got your hands on the pulse. | ||
| A lot of people don't remember. | ||
| You actually went to the Ukraine. | ||
| In fact, you went to the front in the early months of this war. | ||
| Walk me through your sense, because you were in Rome. | ||
| You're pretty dialed in over there. | ||
| What's the sense in the European capitals as they begin this spring offensive? | ||
| And Zelensky's at the G7. I'm not making this up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's at the G7. Well, we actually, you know, we ended up... | |
| People will, I'm sure, accuse me of timing this, but I actually ended up being at the Vatican the same day that Zelensky rolled in. | ||
| We're standing there at St. | ||
| Peter's about to go in, and we see this huge motorcade go past us, and then later they announced that it was Zelensky coming in to meet with Pope Francis, where he gave him a picture of the Madonna with the child Christ. | ||
| But the child was blacked out. | ||
| So I've never seen an image of Christ with his mother where he was blacked out. | ||
| And they said it was supposed to be reminiscent of the children lost in the war. | ||
| But I've got to say, bringing something into the Vatican like that definitely gave me pause, let's just say it. | ||
| But Steve, there's no love lost for Russia in the capitals of Europe. | ||
| But I will say this, though. The people are tired of this war. | ||
| The people don't want the war to go on anymore. | ||
| They're asking, why are we still doing this? | ||
| Why are we still fighting? And honestly, you see the flags up. | ||
| You see Ukrainian flags up everywhere at the capitals, but people are just going about their regular lives. | ||
| They want to get back to normalcy, and they are starting to question, why is it that the euro has fallen so much compared to the dollar right now? | ||
| Which, by the way, I didn't mind because it's great for travel. | ||
| They're asking, why are prices going up so much? | ||
| Why are energy costs so high right now all of a sudden? | ||
| What are we actually getting out of this? | ||
| And I think they are getting very weary of these headlines because it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere. | ||
| Plus, if you actually follow what's going on on the ground in the war, The United States just lost a Patriot missile battery in Kiev, which was hit by one of the Russian hypersonics. | ||
| And then you see this massive explosion and they're saying, oh, no, no, it's totally fine. | ||
| It's totally fine. Really? Can you show us some videos of it? | ||
| Can we see that it's totally fine? | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. You're not allowed to see any of the videos. | ||
| We're striking down all of the Russian missiles that are fired from the Raytheon. | ||
| Okay, well, if that's true, then can we see some of the videos of you shooting down the vehicles, you know, these missiles? | ||
| I'd sure love to see that. | ||
| No, because they know that they can't. | ||
| And we realize that this is a war with no end until... | ||
| Jack, if you just hang on for one second. | ||
| I know Jack-Jack needs your attention. | ||
| If you just hang on, we'll take a short break. | ||
| We've just got a couple of minutes on the other side. | ||
| Got to talk to you about the intel apparatus here in the United States of America. | ||
| Short break. Intelligence Officer Jack Posobiec and his son Jack-Jack join us on the other side. | ||

Only in New Jersey. Only in New Jersey. | |
| We've had the Durham report, but you've had this situation with now the Biden crime family, with Comer, with the Treasury Department, and the wire transfers from 215. | ||
| President Trump has identified, he says, hey, it's not the CCP, they're bad enough, but it's the administrative state and the deep state that is the enemy of the American people. | ||
| Most of that's tied around The intelligence agencies. | ||
| I'm just finishing a book now by Jim Rison, who's no fan of Donald Trump. | ||
| That's amazing about Frank Church and the Church Committee. | ||
| I'll talk about that more tomorrow. | ||
| Where do we stand, brother? | ||
| You're an intelligence officer. | ||
| How big a problem do we have? | ||
| As you've seen, the FBI whistleblowers yesterday. | ||
| We're going to have more of that. We're going to have some of those guys on. | ||
| This thing, Jack, is ten times a bigger mess and a problem for the country than I think anybody imagined. | ||
| Your thoughts? Well, look, Steve, look at everything that's come out this week. | ||
| We've seen the Durham report, which confirms that what was done under the Trump administration for the first three years of that administration was a complete coup by the national security apparatus to disrupt the government and the governance of not just Donald Trump, but also the will of the American people who put him there. | ||
| And then COVID, of course, Was launched in the fourth year to get him out of office along with the George Floyd riots as a color revolution. | ||
| So we saw those three years robbed from President Trump. | ||
| We saw the fourth year robbed from President Trump. | ||
| I'm almost saying, what is the justice for this, right? | ||
| Durham comes out and says, well, you know, yeah, we can't find any provable crime. | ||
| Excuse me? What about the crime to the American people? | ||
| They're going to go, and we know that Merrick Garland is already pushing the seditious conspiracy case. | ||
| That's why the Proud Boys Read the Proud Boys' charges again, the sentencing document. | ||
| Julie Kelly's got all the information on this. | ||
| They're clearly gearing up. | ||
| Merrick Garland wants to charge Trump with seditious conspiracy. | ||
| That's what the grand jury right here in Washington, D.C. is all about. | ||
| But when you look at the Durham report, it's actually a roadmap to explaining in acute detail how a seditious conspiracy was run at the highest levels of the FBI and CIA against the sitting president of the United States, to wit, They had intel all along, knowing that it started as a plot from the Hillary Clinton campaign. | ||
| And I don't buy it for a second that people were saying, Oh, I'm shocked. | ||
| I'm only finding this out now that, you know, the guy Joe Panko is running out of the office, you know, like some scene in a movie, cut the crap, cut the Hollywood theatrics. | ||
| We know what's going on here. | ||
| These people were in it. Cause this is one of the guys who was grilling Flynn. | ||
| We know what was going on here. | ||
| And he knows like the rest of them, that the only possible Restitution for the American people is to restore President Trump to office come 2024 and allow him to actually serve out the term that he was duly elected for in the first place. | ||
| Jack, a thousand percent. | ||
| You summed it up perfectly. | ||
| Another question I have for you is what can be done in the interim? | ||
| What do we have to do before we take power again in January 2025 with the 2024 sweep that we're going to have? | ||
| What can be done now with either appropriations? | ||
| I mean, this is like DEFCON 2. | ||
| This has to be addressed and has to be confronted now. | ||
| We can't wait 15 or 18 months. | ||
| This apparatus is out of control. | ||
| What is your recommendation? Understand we just have the house that needs to be done now. | ||
| Well, Steve, I'd love to see direct hearings and tie it to funding. | ||
| You must tie it to funding. | ||
| Direct hearings tied to funding as to what's going on at the FBI, who is actually being taken out of power. | ||
| We need to see the resignation of Chris Wray. | ||
| That's number one. And then when possible, investigation and prosecution wherever possible. | ||
| I think the Republicans in the House, as Frank Church saw, and if you're reading the Church Committee book, you're seeing the roadmap how to do this right there. | ||
| A Democrat, by the way, a Democrat out of Idaho, Frank Church back in the 1970s, conducting the first investigation into this And Matt Gaetz, of course, has already brought this forward yesterday, kind of got the ball rolling. | ||
| I would almost say that that FBI whistleblower conference was sort of a prequel, if you will, a precursor to the prologue to a new church committee, call it the Gaetz Committee if you have to, whatever you want to call it, the Jordan Committee, that this situation has gotten far beyond the initial remit and purview of the FBI. And, you know, I do love, by the way, though, Steve, when people say, Well, you know, the FBI needs to get back to its Halkian days before it was corrupt. | ||
| When? When Hoover was running the joint? | ||
| You mean those days of J. Edgar Hoover, the guy who was wiretapping Congress, but he turned the wiretaps off a week before he went to testify so he could say under oath that I'm not wiretapping you at this moment, Congressman? | ||
| No, the FBI has always existed far beyond its original remit. | ||
| We need to take a page out of the UK's playbook where, you know how the UK has MI6 and MI5. And during the war, they had all the way out to MI-14, MI-15. | ||
| But after the war, they realized they needed to shrink it way, way down. | ||
| Why do we have 16 intel agencies? | ||
| We need to shrink that down, consolidate it, and rethink the way these organizations work. | ||
| And Jack is an intel officer. | ||
| Jack, real quickly, how do you get to Human Events daily, all your social media, everything? | ||
| You've got to follow us every night, Human Events daily. | ||
| Tonight, we've got the great John Solomon on. | ||
