| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, welcome. It's Friday, 19 May in the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| Welcome. I want to take this hour... | ||
| I've asked two of the best folks that we have associated with the war room to help me out here, because we need a, given the debt ceiling, everything is going on, this out-of-control spending, we need to do a strategic assessment of the early years of the Third World War, and particularly the situation on the Eurasian landmass around Ukraine, and why it looks like, and you're seeing now all the media start talking about what a long haul this is going to be. | ||
| Long haul means the United States is going to be embedded in this, just like Iraq and Afghanistan and Korea and all of it, for 10 or 20 years. | ||
| And we need level-headed people now to see exactly what's going on. | ||
| I've asked Natalie Winters to join us, our executive editor and co-host. | ||
| Natalie, You've made your reputation on going after and doing original investigative reporting. | ||
| A lot of that has revolved around the Chinese Communist Party, right? | ||
| Because a lot of roads lead back to Beijing, and you've made this great... | ||
| It's not an elite capture, it's an elite merger. | ||
| And you've seen this with the CCP and much between the titans of Wall Street, the oligarchs of Silicon Valley, the Uniparty, what goes on with these companies in the United States. | ||
| You've recently been doing stuff focusing also on Ukraine. | ||
| Before I get Harnwell on, we're going to talk about how the media is trying to shift the narrative now in the mindset that this is going to take forever. | ||
| We're going to be here. This is going to be another Iraq, Afghanistan, and we just got to get prepared for it. | ||
| You've had some recent stories about this, but why don't you pull the camera back and give us your overall assessment? | ||
| Because quite frankly, I can't make sense of this. | ||
| There's something going on about this Ukraine situation. | ||
| You've had Durham's report. | ||
| You have all these other aspects coming on about the Biden's involvement. | ||
| You've got the Comer investigations now. | ||
| They've got Romania. There's something not right about this Ukraine thing that, quite frankly, is not as clear as you've helped make the CCP's involvement from the cash money point of view. | ||
| So I'd like you to tee off this hour by framing this for us, and particularly how we get our arms around this going forward, ma'am. | ||
| Sure. Well, when I began my career as an investigative journalist, it wasn't necessarily that I set out to expose the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| I wanted to focus more so on the concept of elite merger, not just elite capture. | ||
| And nine times out of 10, really 99 times out of 100, given the political class that occupies this city, but especially the political regime that occupies the White House, it was the Chinese Communist Party conducting a lot of these compromise and foreign influence operations. | ||
| But, frankly, I think I've sort of seen the advent of a very similar situation going on when it comes to Ukraine. | ||
| And I definitely agree with you that there's an element of just sort of confusion, right? | ||
| You can't really understand what is playing out in that country between Ukraine and Russia from a logical point of view. | ||
| And nine times out of ten, as someone who really has focused on foreign influence operations and how they work here in the United States, My gut instinct tells me that there's some level of compromise, some level of conflict of interest going on. | ||
| And I think we'd obviously be remiss to not point out the fact that the Biden family Just like they do in China and a bunch of other countries have, of course, interesting financial arrangements going on and emanating out of the country of Ukraine. | ||
| Of course, it goes all the way to the bio labs that a biotech company that Hunter Biden was invested in was partnered with and working on while they were receiving funds from Obama's Department of Defense. | ||
| So there's certainly similar elements of this murky, untraceable corruption. | ||
| But when you really dig down I think what's interesting in the Ukraine aspect, I don't think it's just a compromise in terms of, you know, hard cash money power. | ||
| I also think there's an ideological element to it too. | ||
| It's sort of like Chinese Communist Party compromise. | ||
| But they also have the added benefit where I think supporting Ukraine has become a cause much like supporting BLM or any of these other kind of trendy, these things that it's hip to do, it's cool to do. | ||
| And that I think is frankly a very, very, very dangerous element and dangerous combination and the unfortunate byproduct of that. | ||
| And I think where we see this defense of Ukraine emanating from strongest is unfortunately our federal government. | ||
| And particularly agencies that are interested in engaging in the information war. | ||
| Because as we know, yeah, Ukraine is now a kinetic war. | ||
| But nine times out of ten, I think at least in this day and age, we've certainly seen it with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Although I'd argue with what's going on at the border right now, we have seen it turn to kinetic warfare. | ||
| But this is really being conducted in the realm of information and that, of course, rests upon the ability to censor misinformation and disinformation. | ||
| And people should remember that, you know, a few months prior, when there was that massive story about All of the efforts from the Department of Homeland Security and CISA, all of these groups that really should be focused on, you know, cybersecurity, anti-piracy, actual election integrity. | ||
| But instead, we found out that their primary agenda was really censoring information online in collusion and in partnership with the social media platforms. | ||
| And when we got sort of the white papers or the outlines of what really Their area of operations were, what they were focusing on. | ||
| People were really quick to focus on how they were trying to censor information about elections, information about COVID origins and vaccines, but always buried in there, you know, sub point C or D. It also had to do with Ukraine and, of course, the Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| But Ukraine is one of these issues that has enjoyed similar, as you always call it, Praetorian Guard status as a lot of these other issues that have had, you know, full force protection, complete witness protection program from the deep state, from the permanent political class. | ||
| And like you were alluding to, which I'm happy to get into in a bit, this cover up operation It goes actually all the way to the Pentagon, and I think the important point to underscore here is how secretive these operations are to really run cover for Ukraine, how secretly and how clandestine they've been conducted. | ||
| Well, no, I want to go to one of your latest reports, because now—and here's the thing, I don't—maybe just before we go to that, and I know you're pressed for time, and we are too, because I get to Ben. | ||
| In the CCP, I understand it, although we financed massive amounts of capital. | ||
| I mean, it's a country of 1.4 billion people. | ||
| It's an ancient civilization. | ||
| We've used it as a slave labor manufacturer. | ||
| I mean, there was an industrial internal logic that you see how it could play out, and you could tell that very, very simply. | ||
| And you could see how all the pieces aligned together around that industrial logic of why China and why the CCP is the overlords. | ||
| You also knew that CCP also had other wealth, either their central bank, you know, just paper-generated, but you could see how the corruption and the influence peddling came back, the washing of the money and coming back. | ||
| The Ukraine, it doesn't really have any, I mean, it's got, you know, it's wheat, and it's obviously a farmland, it's got natural resources, I think, on the border where it's industrial power, but it's nothing even in concept. | ||
| There's no internal industrial logic of why it would take such a central place. | ||
| There has to be something else. | ||
| You're going to tell us about your latest report. | ||
| But there's something, and this one doesn't make sense to me. | ||
| It never has. | ||
| Why is this place taking such a central aspect? | ||
| Why are so many policymakers? | ||
| This is everything. Why does it seem like the Bidens, you know, he left Which is unheard of. | ||
| It's never happened. He took off a couple days before we came to power in 17, and he went over there and took a trip over there. | ||
| What is it about the Ukraine? | ||
| The elite capture or merger of the CCP, I can understand. | ||
| I don't agree with it. | ||
| Obviously, we're fighting. We're the number one fighters, and you've dedicated much of your life to it. | ||
| But I can see how that can happen. | ||
| Here, there's something wrong that I don't even see how this could happen. | ||
| Yet it is... | ||
| As paramount in this city right now, almost as a CCP, as a center of things, of an axle that so many things revolve around. | ||
| Ma'am. Yeah, it's bizarre, but I will do what I do best and link it to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And I think here's why. | ||
| You're talking about how Ukraine existing in a vacuum, just looking at it as a country from a geopolitical threat or ally. | ||
| It doesn't really have much to offer, but unfortunately for Ukraine, At least from the eyes of our intellectual superiors here, the Atlantic Council groups of the world, they sort of exist as the foil to Russia. | ||
| And I think in order for our ruling class to have some sort of a common enemy, right, they can't really unload on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So they have to make Russia the ultimate threat. | ||
| So Russia sort of, I think, is I mean, again, we're obviously not hardcore pro-Russia here, but Russia is, I think, unfortunately and unnecessarily maligned to sort of overcompensate for the fact that the deep state here, that the kind of globalist ruling class can't actually criticize China or the Chinese Communist Party or call them out. | ||
| As the geopolitical threat they are because they're so deeply compromised and so deeply in bed with them. | ||
| Whereas a lot of the criticisms that they hurl against Russia, whether it's, you know, election influence, foreign influence operations, you know, nine times out of 10, you can cross out The headlines when these people write stories about Russia and what they're doing with Trump, as we know from the Durham report, it's all fake. But you can swap in China because China's guilty of basically everything they accuse Russia of doing, but to the one millionth degree. | ||
| So I think unfortunately for Ukraine's sake, because our intellectual superiors, the deep state apparatus here, If Russia detests Russia so strongly, you obviously see that in the case of the Russia hoax, Ukraine has to prevail. | ||
| Otherwise, their entire world view, all of the papers that are coming out of the Atlantic Council, the Truman National Security Project, all the think tanks that are here in Washington, D.C., if Russia prevails, their entire world view, which is really What undergirds a billion-dollar non-profit NGO grift operation. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| It's information laundering. | ||
| They are very much in the business of seeing Russia fail. | ||
| And I think, unfortunately for Ukraine, just because they're on Russia's border, they are now going to see these people pushing for them to keep fighting Russia, keep this war ongoing, when it doesn't really have to do with Ukraine. | ||
| I mean, of course, there's the defense contractor aspect, too. | ||
| Since Trump didn't start any new wars, they need a new cash cow. | ||
| All I could say is I wish these defense contractors saw our southern border as an opportunity to make money and create and deploy weapons as they did the border of Ukraine, but I won't hold my breath for that. | ||
| Natalie, tell us about your latest, because now you're starting to get into this, and you've got an amazing kind of a blockbuster report to kind of kick things off. | ||
| Walk us through it. Yeah, this is wild. | ||
| I think this is the best evidence of no conspiracies, only coincidences. | ||
| But in this case, I think it very well may be a conspiracy. | ||
| So less than a week after Ukraine was invaded, that was February 24th of 2022, we now have obtained internal documents Because this was supposed to be a very secretive operation, it was never really supposed to leak, the stories from The Intercept. | ||
| The Pentagon established, this is the name of it, this is not War Room, this is the actual name, the Influence and Perception Management Office, which was explicitly tasked with countering disinformation and misinformation. | ||
| And if you really get into the nitty-gritty of what this operation, this little sort of sub-office is tasked with doing, It's really about spreading propaganda, and that's not me being hyperbolic. | ||
| That's basically enshrined in this entity's mission statement. | ||
| And also in that same time period, they launched the Defense Military Deception Program Office, which was tasked with, quote, sensitive messaging, deception, influence, and other operations in the information environment. | ||
| And I'll read very quickly. | ||
| I know we're short on time, but I think it's worth noting because, like I said, this operation This article from The Intercept, it stresses this was never supposed to leak. | ||
| It only got out because a document that was being written up solely for the confines of academia sort of leaked to the press, and then they were able to reverse engineer through some budget reports that this entity had been receiving millions of taxpayer dollars to conduct these operations. | ||
| But they have a little case study outlining what exactly this office is supposed to do, and this is what it says. | ||
| Let's say DOD wants to influence country A's leaders to stop purchasing a weapons system from country B. Assuming the IPMO, that's the Influence and Perception Management Office, has worked to establish the desired behavior change, how might key influencers be identified that have sway over these leaders' thought processes, beliefs, motives, reasoning, etc.? | ||
| Thereafter, assuming an influence strategy is developed, How might the DIE or IC determine if DOD's influence activities are working? | ||
| So it really shows you an elaborate influence operation campaign. | ||
| I would argue this is being used, if not, well, definitely explicitly, if not exclusively, when it comes to Ukraine. | ||
| But I also think the concerning aspect of this and what the Intercept article really goes into is that there's nothing really in the mission statement or guidelines of this entity, of this newly launched office. | ||
| That prevents them from using these same tactics against the American people, whether it's contained to the issue of Ukraine and trying to artificially manufacture really astroturf support for the issue, or frankly, any issue with that. | ||
| And as someone who has read way too many government databases about the money that they spend to counter misinformation and disinformation, here, domestically, this sounds eerily similar. | ||
| And the millions of dollars that they're getting to push this operation is also very concerning because it's a pretty hefty budget. | ||
| Is this gonna, is our purpose here, we're gonna try to get this so the appropriators know about this, they can zero this out. | ||
| I mean, the endgame here really is not even an investigation. | ||
| This could go away if we made sure no cash was allocated to this. | ||
| Is this one of the driving angles of attack of your investigation, that here you don't need a bunch of Calling before the Oversight Committee or the Weaponization, or this is an Armed Services DOD, and the appropriators got to say, hey, this is not right. This gets to the heart of Russ's votes, the woke and weaponized massive budget of the federal government? | ||
| Yeah, I think this is weaponization at its finest. | ||
| I think we're still honestly in the early stages, though, of actually understanding what exactly this office is. | ||
| Like I said, this never was supposed to leak. | ||
| And when they've had people who should know about it testify in front of Congress before, they've always been very vague when even pressed sort of generally in the direction of the existence of this office. | ||
| So I think they should obviously have a hearing explicitly addressing this because, like you said, this is I think a glaring example of weaponized government. | ||
| I'm sure it's being used for woke purposes too. | ||
| But the fact that they are engaged in propaganda campaigns internationally and likely domestically, using taxpayer funds secretly. | ||
| I mean, it checks all the boxes for weaponized government against the American people, let alone to defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine while our southern border is being breached to high heaven. | ||
| I always say I can't believe it, but unfortunately, in Joe Biden's America, whenever I say that, I then pause and say, well, actually, I 100 % can. | ||
| By the way, this is why Natalie came back to the Imperial Capital to lay wood to this amazing initial start. | ||
| How do people get to your writings? | ||
| How do they get you on social media? | ||
| How do they get to all of it, Natalie? | ||
| Make sure you go to warroom.org and sign up for the newsletter. | ||
| And if you want to follow me, I am Natalie G. Winters on all platforms. | ||
| Natalie, thank you. I know you're busy today. | ||
| Thank you very much. Great to have you on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. Okay. | |
| Man, I got to tell you, I want everybody to read this article. | ||
| Your head will blow up. I want to bring in now Brother Harnwell. | ||
| And I'm just going to turn to you because you've got a certain logic. | ||
| And look, this is a strategic situation report. | ||
| And the reason I wanted Ben to focus on this over a couple days, he hasn't been on the show and we do this special on Friday, was that I can see where some of this media narrative's going. | ||
| And number one, you can see a big shift here. | ||
| They're obviously scared to the death that the war room's got Natalie Winters back here now to investigate, that you've got Russ Votes organization that's really questioning the funding here, that we're in this huge budget fight. | ||
| And we haven't even mentioned, I'll be honest, Ukraine did not come out of the first budget fight, but I can see the trend line where it's going, that it is going to start coming out. | ||
| And at the same time, they're starting to lay the groundwork for, oh, this is going to be a long campaign. | ||
| We could be here forever. | ||
| We've got to take the long view of this thing. | ||
| So Ben, I know you've got a bunch of ways you want to do this. | ||
| We've got eight minutes left in the first segment. | ||
| Then we've got the entire second segment. | ||
| So go ahead and take it away, sir. | ||
| Good evening, Steve. Well, here's an article that was in yesterday's Financial Times. | ||
| And the headline is, Ukraine's ally's Fear military support will fade in US election year, adding that European capitals are concerned that divisive Washington politics will jeopardize aid levels when the 48 billion dollar package expires. | ||
| And it's basically an article here which is a bit of truth. | ||
| This is the mainstream media specialisation and I'm going to go into this in the second segment a bit further. | ||
| It's the mainstream media specialisation because they tell you a bit of truth. | ||
| But they absolutely distort the context of that truth and a very misleading narrative. | ||
| So you're never quite, if the mainstream media is your only source of information, you're never really going to have a handle on what the events are and what are the underlying causes for the events that you can see. | ||
| Here, lurking behind this article is the fear that something will change fundamentally in the dynamic of America's support for the Ukraine war next year, towards the end of next year. | ||
| That's obviously the 2024 presidential election. | ||
| And what they're never quite telling you is that obviously Biden's got a timeframe to funnel as much money as he possibly can into Ukraine, because after the elections in November next year, the situation And what they're not telling you, | ||
| they're sort of hinting at it, they're sort of like the proverbial elephant in the living room and sort of edging around it, is that the reason that Trump is, one of the reasons that Trump is considered to win, the many valid and viable reasons, is of course that he's against an open-ended aid to Ukraine. | ||
| And I think a lot of people are hoping that he's actually going to go a lot further. | ||
| His own remarks are that he'll have this Both sides sitting down and negotiating in 24 hours and the war will end in 25 hours and I absolutely believe him on that. | ||
| The point is that the American people Large part of our audience here, Steve, on the war room, it's MAGA that is behind President Trump that doesn't want to see further tax dollars. | ||
| And this gets to some of the other articles later, but you think the Financial Times, look, the economists in the Financial Times, and I recommend people subscribe to them, you will see how these are the information platforms for your overlords. | ||
| Let me just be blunt. It's the way the system works. | ||
| We're trying to disrupt that, we're trying to stop it, and we are making huge progress with the way the system works. | ||
| Do you believe, as you read this, Ben, that it is not just the capitals that are worried about this, but it's the Financial Times of London and The Economist, the information network that understands, because they monitor the war room, they see where this is going, they see the intensity that people come on here. | ||
| So it's just not the European capitals. | ||
| They're actually sending out a flare. | ||
| That unless the apparatus comes together and comes together quickly, you're going to have this populist nationalist America First movement in the United States actually do the unthinkable. | ||
| Because it's never happened before. | ||
| It never happened in Vietnam. | ||
| It didn't happen in Iraq. | ||
| It happened in Afghanistan. | ||
| A populist movement said we're going to choke out the money. | ||
| We're going to choke down the spending. | ||
| In your mind, is this the Capitals of London? | ||
| Are Capitals of Europe really saying this? | ||
| Or is this the Financial Times and the economists sending up a flare that they better get focused or they're about to lose or Uncle Sugar is going to go away? | ||
| Well, looking at a lot of the unsourced anonymous quotes from senior European diplomats in this article that conveniently, and I'm not saying these sources don't exist on the quotes, The fact that these sources are saying exactly the point that the FT is making here, that it's a continuum, Steve. | ||
| As you were saying, that's the perfect word to this, it's a continuum. | ||
| You've got the mainstream media, you've got the military industrial complex, you've got the Fed, and you've got all these All of these various organs, and they might not be formally or officially tied together, but they are all in the business of keeping the system going. | ||
| And that's what I'm going to come back to in the second segment. | ||
| Keeping this system going because they make the money, right? | ||
| They make the money and the ordinary working guy gets nothing. | ||
| Before you pivot off, I also think it's a good time to want everybody, when we talk about the system, we talk about these articles more than ever, because this whole debt ceiling debate is about the currency and about the destruction of the US dollar. | ||
| And that's why the FT, the fiscal domination you've had of these governments and these legislatures in Europe have led their central bankers also just to keep printing money. | ||
| That's stopping because of the inflation. | ||
| It's starting to happen here. | ||
| But to be in the middle of this debate, you need to be fully armed with as much information as possible. | ||
| That's why if you go to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now, you get the three-part series, the three-part series, The End of the Dollar Empire, all for free, and you can download the last part, the one we just came out with. | ||
| It's called The Debt Trap, and this puts you right into the middle. | ||
| We're trying to use one framing device in the Ukraine to try to explain how the entire system is essentially rigged against you and rigged for them. | ||
| So you go and get the debt trap. | ||
| You get all the nomenclature. | ||
| You get all the process. Plus, if you've got time, go to the other parts of the site. | ||
| You can get to Philip Patrick and all his great advisors. | ||
| Understand, when the Financial Times of London's reporting or the accounts reporting, that the central banks Not so much in Western Europe, although it's happening, but the central banks in Africa, the central banks in Asia, in India, in China, in Japan, in Russia, and also in parts of the Caribbean, central banks are buying more gold than they've ever purchased. | ||
| 2022 was a record year, and 2023 starts off even as a bigger year. | ||
| So you need to understand that. | ||
| We don't give personal financial advice On this show, we give you macro, which we think some of the macro trends are, as Wall Street would call it. | ||
| But this is a trend that you need to now get into your personal life and get more information. | ||
| And you do that, they got the 401ks, the IRAs, but it all gets down to precious metals as a hedge, not just against bad times, but also against inflation and the destruction of your currency. | ||
| What Ben Harnwell's talking about, we're gonna get some more of these articles from the press, particularly in Europe. | ||
| Talking about the situation in Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine is central to the rot we've got in this administrative state, a deep state. | ||
| Ben Harner was going to join us from Rome, and I really appreciate it. | ||
| He's Natalie Attired on a Friday evening here in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Short commercial break, back in a moment. | |
| Okay, welcome back. Ben Harnwell in Rome. | ||
| Ben, are you coming in from the evening? | ||
| Are you about to go out? You look like Natalie Attired. | ||
| You look like an Englishman trying to pass yourself off as an Italian playboy. | ||
| Are you going out or coming in? | ||
| I shall be going out shortly, but I like to think that I cultivate the image of being constantly a playboy that occasionally has to come in to the office to do some work, but my life is generally that. | ||
| So before moving on to foreign policy, I just want to To give an example, back onto the FT that we're talking about, the FT article we're talking about just a moment or so ago, because this is exactly how they work, and then I'm going to take that further and unravel a little bit more in foreign policy. | ||
| They've got a quote here talking about what happens when the $54 billion aid package to Ukraine expires. | ||
| And this is expected to run out in about five months. | ||
| And they're talking about the various dynamics to do with reauthorizing further support which will take place this autumn in the US Congress. | ||
| And here's how they do it. | ||
| Here's how they tell you a bit of truth but then kick so much sand over it you won't actually realize What the dynamics are. | ||
| Here's a quote that the FT has, one of the few that is actually attributed to somebody, citing US Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who's a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. | ||
| And he says, what Donald Trump says has a lot of impact on how difficult this issue becomes in Congress. | ||
| And that's true, that's absolutely true, because Donald Trump is now totally in command of the GOP. The deflection comes in the continuation of the quote and it says, his position on Ukraine funding will have a lot to do with what happens if we need to reauthorize support. | ||
| Well Steve, that's absolutely wrong. | ||
| It's the other way around. | ||
| The reauthorising of support will have a lot to do on what Donald Trump's position is. | ||
| And that's an illustration, I think, of how the mainstream media don't want people to know what is happening in the United States right now. | ||
| The support, the anger that is building up against a failing regime. | ||
| Okay, so now I'm going to pivot over to this article in Foreign Policy, which I read every day when I'm not out, being my Playboy image persona. | ||
| Here's the headline, the era of neoliberal US foreign policy is over. | ||
| Now hold it, now that headline, that headline's tied to the first, hang on, that headline's tied to the first, and for everybody in the war room posse, the neoliberal neocon world order, because that's what we live under, right? | ||
| This post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| For foreign policy, who's make their lives on supporting and promulgating the tenets of the post-war liberal international rules-based order, This should rip their hearts out. | ||
| I mean, and this is one of our objectives, one of our objectives to say that order has allowed the Chinese Communist Party and other nefarious actors to game it to the destruction of the United States and the rise of our enemies on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| So I would normally, when I saw that, you said it to me this morning, it should warm the cockles of my heart, should it not Ben Harnwell? | ||
| Well, it should do because it's true, but what they're doing is not true for the reasons that they're explaining. | ||
| Here's the pitch. | ||
| First, they tell you a little bit of truth and then they kick the sand a little bit so you won't really understand the context of that truth. | ||
| So first of all, first of all, I think that the trick, the conceit of the article is to deflect attention from really what the international rules-based order is a system of, And they're like a bait and switch and pretend that it's something else that has been rejected. | ||
| And it says here that the neoliberal Washington consensus, which emerged in the 1980s, is focused on, and it cites four things here, deregulation, privatization, austerity and trade liberalization. | ||
| There is some of that, but let's just have a quick look, a very quick look at those four attributes and say why that's not what is being rejected across the world. | ||
| Deregulation is simply a better means of running a lot of essential public services. | ||
| Sorry, privatization. | ||
| Deregulization is simply getting the state out of private life and business life. | ||
| Austerity, what they call austerity, is simply the requirement that governments, over the course of the economic cycle, don't spend more wealth than that economy has created. | ||
| And trade liberalisation, well, There are aspects of globalization which are being rejected after one country and another, but that's not really the issue. | ||
| The issue here is that what is being rejected is what we're saying in the first segment, what you just said in your introduction, is this rules-based order which gains the system in favor of the elites and leaves the ordinary working guy with absolutely nothing. | ||

Here, here is actually the truth. | |
| It says here, It's elite self-dealing, creating a safety net for the rich, and doling out market discipline for everyone else. | ||
| That is almost, I would say, Bananism 101, because I've heard you say this so many times. | ||
| This is the perversion of the system, which has socialism for the very rich and the very poor, and everyone else is abandoned with a sort of extreme, radical, Darwinist sense of Economics, which gives them absolutely no support whatsoever. | ||
| And it's interesting here to see buried in this article here is a little gem of truth, which could have been said by you on any episode of The War Room. | ||
| What they're trying to do here, because yes, it is the international rules based order, which is now its day is done and it is now passing. | ||
| What they're trying to do, so you would think, From anyone who's been watching politics on 2015 onwards, you would think that they might cite one of the principal proactive agents of the challenging of this order on the international scene, and that's Donald Trump. They don't cite it at all. | ||
| What they're trying to do, and here's the deflection, is suggest that actually the end of the international rules-based order is actually being brought about by the current White House administration. | ||
| And I will just read this paragraph, a short paragraph, and then I will just attack each single point in there to illustrate how absurd this is as an argument in what is supposed to be a serious foreign affairs For four decades, the dominant view in both US parties was a neoliberal approach to economics at home and abroad. | ||
| That's broadly true, okay? | ||
| But April 27th, 2023 marked the day the global justice movement's memo finally landed in Washington. | ||
| So this isn't the Trump revolution. | ||
| This isn't MAGA. This isn't Trump coming down the golden staircase. | ||
| National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan gave the most significant foreign policy speech and thus far by any Biden administration official. | ||
| It effectively announced that the era of neoliberal foreign policy is over. | ||
| Steve, what is this? | ||
| This is a pathetic attempt. | ||
| On behalf of the mainstream media to take ownership for a failed regime of a movement which is latent in the American people and not only the American people but in countries right across the world that they are fed up and they have no more patience and they will not tolerate being impoverished. | ||
| Hang on. This is the key point and this is why this is Signal Not Noise and what the show specializes in and making sure a working class and middle class neighborhood, a population understands it. | ||
| I want to hit rewind. | ||
| The neoliberal neocon world order is what we're trying to shatter. | ||
| And the reason is it's been built upon your back, your tax dollars, your pension fund money that have shipped the jobs over to China, and your sons and daughters that have gone and fought and died and bled on these foreign battlefields. | ||
| That order on the America First must be turned around to a nationalistic order based upon our sovereignty in the system that was set up in the Treaty of Westphalia, the Westphalian system based upon the nation state where the citizen is actually supreme. | ||
| What they're doing here, they understand that we're taking down this order. | ||
| They understand the Trump movement is taking down this order. | ||
| What they're trying to claim, and I want to go back and hit that again, but they're trying to claim, oh, that they're seeing that it can no longer go forward, and they're going to be the crafters of what comes next. | ||
| That is a bald-faced lie. | ||
| That is a bald-faced lie. | ||
| This is collapsing because of the power of this audience. | ||
| This is collapsing. And it gets back to the first article. | ||
| The ability to say, we're not going to do this anymore in Ukraine. | ||
| We're not going to send our sons and daughters. | ||
| We're not going to continue to fund this. | ||
| And it started out small. | ||
| And remember, all the Republican... | ||
| You know, thinking, standard thinking, it was, oh, you know, they bitch slapped Ron DeSantis when he got a little bit out of line just to say, oh, no, we have no focus on a border eight, 10,000 miles away. | ||
| It should be on our southern border. | ||
| The breaking of that and understanding that the FT and the economists and the capitals of Europe, that the money's gonna, Uncle Sugar's gonna cut the money off, gets them to, they understood this is happening. | ||
| This is why Jake Sullivan and others are out trying to spin it and try to craft what the follow-on is, which is just gonna be this under a different guise. | ||
| No, we're going to break this system, Ben Harnwell. | ||
| It's absolutely right, Steve. | ||
| It's almost laughable that a magazine, a newspaper like Foreign Policy, will try to airbrush MAGA out of the photo, which is what they're trying to do here. | ||
| They're trying to suggest that the revolution, which showed its power, showed its strength, from 2015 onwards. | ||
| Simply, it has passed them by. | ||
| It never happened. | ||
| And they are trying to take ownership of the anger and the disgust that is out there. | ||
| Because exactly as you say, they're going to try to re-propose what comes next. | ||
| And of course, what comes next is basically going to be, for them, Because this is why these people exist. | ||
| They exist to profit out of the system. | ||
| What comes next is going to be exactly what went before, but packaged differently with different names. | ||
| And it won't work because people have wised up to it. | ||
| And of course, they're not going to be in power anymore. | ||
| The thing about the America First revolution in the United States is that it really does... | ||
| What you see on the label is what's in the tin. | ||
| It really is an overflowing of this product regime. | ||
| Hang over a second. Okay. | ||
| Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to make a deal with you. | ||
| We're either going to get you on tomorrow on the Saturday show. | ||
| If we can't, you may have stuff you're doing over the weekend. | ||
| We'll get you on Monday, but you've got too much to go through here, and the first two have been so great. | ||
| There's a lot going on. Reason I want to do Ukraine tonight, because it's central to what's going on in this apparatus. | ||
| As I said, the beating heart of this Ukraine situation, and it's on many levels. | ||
| is at the heart of how this illegitimate regime is trying to rule over us. | ||
| If we can pick the lock on Ukraine, so much of what they're working on collapses around it. | ||
| That's why we've been so maniacally focused on stopping this madness. | ||
| And all I can say, is that if they'd listened to War Room and if they had backed the War Room posse early on, there'd be, I don't know, 50 or 60,000 dead civilians in Ukraine that would not be dead today. | ||
| The country has actually been caught. | ||
| The havoc over there is heart-rendering when you see these cities that have actually been leveled like cities worse than World War I. Many of them look like Dresden in World War II. Ben, before we go, real quickly, how do people follow you over the weekend on your social media? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. It's my social platform media of choice. | ||
| Simply my surname, at Hanwell. | ||
| And I'm also, there's a great article put out on thewarrim.org newsletter. | ||
| Which I write exclusively for that newsletter. | ||
| And if folks want to get hold of these things, they really should be registering for that newsletter via the website. | ||
| How do they register for the newsletter? | ||
| I want to make sure. We're not great about getting out information to folks. | ||
| How do people get the newsletter? | ||
| It couldn't be easier. | ||
| Just go to warroom.org. | ||
| There's a little box there that asks for your email address. | ||
| There's a little pop-up thing as well that you can also use and to put in your email address and click enter and that registers you for the newsletters. | ||
| There are a number of newsletters that we send out but there's also the exclusive articles that I'm writing, Natalie's writing, Jalen's writing. | ||
| These things aren't on our data profiles. | ||
| So this is original, exclusive material that is only there by the site. | ||
| Yeah. No. | ||
| It's incredible. Ben, thank you. | ||
| Go back to your business and we'll see you tomorrow. | ||

Thank you, sir. I'm going back to my Playboy business. | |
| Go back to your Playboy roots, right? | ||
| Christine Dolan joins us. | ||
| There's an event happening on a Sunday in Greenwich, Connecticut. | ||
| The great L. Todd Woods and of course all his great news sites, Creative Destruction Media or CDM, I guess they call it now. | ||
| Christina, tell us about what's going on. | ||
| Why is it important for people in the region to attend? | ||

|
Well, Steven, thank you for having me on. | |
| This is actually an American Conversations. | ||
| And it's a town hall concept that I created in 2014. | ||
| This is after Obama had said that ISIS was a JV team. | ||
| And so I decided then what planet was I living on and we decided to see if there was a thirst for information of the stories behind the headlines at the time. | ||
| And it's a forum where you have a conversation and an engagement with the audience, with a panel of experts. | ||
| And this one is particularly poignant right now because we're going to have people who were born in other countries. | ||
| We're going to have Xi Van Fleet, who I think people know about, who went before the school board in Loudoun County a couple years ago. | ||
| Kimberly Fiorello, who was born in South Korea. | ||
| We're going to have Professor Jason Hill, who was born in Jamaica, as well as Mary Holland, who was now with the Team Kennedy. | ||
| and Kevin Jenkins and our good friend Jackie Holman who's with the Greenwich Patriots but we're going to be focusing on the children and basically we're going to be covering anything from the sex indoctrination to you know all of the health clinics that they want to have and now they've decided there's only two genders voted on by some people in Connecticut so it's going to be it's a format where people show up it's from four to six it's at the Hyatt Regency in Old Greenwich and it's it's a way for people to really Figure out what's really happening, | ||
| especially with the books that are in the library. | ||
| Because a lot of people are not going to the libraries and looking at the books. | ||
| You know, you think, by the way, I want to give it again real quickly because we're out of time. | ||
| You would think that Greenwich, because it's the wealthiest city in the world, maybe Palm Beach, you would think the elite would be protected. | ||
| They're not. It's in Greenwich as much as anywhere else. | ||
| Everybody's kids are exposed to this. | ||
| How do people go? | ||
| I want to make sure for the live part of it, where do they go tonight on Friday night? | ||
| Where do they go to sign up? | ||
| Where do they go to find out more information to be able to get there? | ||
| It's four to six at the Hyatt in Old Greenwich. | ||
| Where do they go tonight to find out more about this? | ||

Are you guys going to livestream? We're going to livestream it as well. | |
| Yes, we will. And we're going to distribute it. | ||
| But yes, I mean, it's important to people... | ||
| We're going to put it up on Getter Live. | ||
| I want everybody to know this. I'll talk about it more on Saturday morning. | ||
| We're going to put this up live to Sarbeck State. | ||
| The panel sounds amazing. | ||
| Absolutely amazing. The panel is amazing. | ||

I just want to say this to you. | |
| It's important for people to know, especially in the... | ||
| When people start talking about the money and the budgets, the Biden ATM machine is throwing money to attack the kids with CRT, General Ron Bishop, who's head of STARS. He's an expert on CRT, DEI, SEL. I mean, people have to know that there is big money from the Biden ATM presidency that's going down to the states, and they're basically targeting the kids and the families. | ||
| And anytime you tell a child, you know, not to say anything to your parents, that's predatory. | ||
| That's exactly how predators keep secrets and they coerce these kids. | ||
| So what I'm coming out and saying is, if people did not get a handle on this and the sex indoctrination, we're going to see a generation of pedophiles. | ||
| It is really serious. | ||
| We gotta get on top of it, Christine. We're going to be all over this. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| We're going to live stream this. I'm going to make a further announcement on the Saturday morning show to make sure we have a huge audience for this. | ||
| Fantastic panel. Thank you for doing this. | ||
