Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

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

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| War Room. | ||
| We must be mild, we stand up. | ||
| And the land across the waves can't fight. | ||
| And then the land that's all the West wants won't. | ||
| Strike by strike, let's use our strength. | ||
| Come into battle, give away your song. | ||
| Strike by strike, let's fight for our human home. | ||
| Remember the song of the West, once sung. | ||
| And it's time of day when they profess their roots. | ||
| In the land there's still more to scorn. | ||
| Where the dreams of men and women flow down the roost. | ||
| And their lives seem so far from found. | ||
| When our dreams are reaching all the skies. | ||
| Searching freedom for every mother's song. | ||
| Here in Israel is the promised land. | ||
| We all live in the town the West wants won. | ||
| The West wants won. | ||
| The West wants won. | ||
| The land. | ||
| I am bound for the promised land. | ||
| I am bound for the promised land. | ||
| For whom will love and glory be? | ||
| I am bound for the promised land. | ||
| It's a land of many land, never fails. | ||
| Where dreams in all are grown. | ||
| Where the cross and his ankles have healed. | ||
| In him and God he was. | ||
| And it's time of day when they profess their roots. | ||
| In the land there's still more to scorn. | ||
| Where the dreams of men and women flow down the roost. | ||
| And their lives seem so far from found. | ||
| Dream by dream and take a picture of his land. | ||
| For a change we have for every mother's song. | ||
| Here in Israel is the promised land. | ||
| We all live in the town the West wants won. | ||
| It's Monday, 5 June, the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| Right there is How the West Was Won from 1962 by directors Henry Hathaway, John Ford, and George Marshall. | ||
| That song is Promised Land, because that's what this is, the Promised Land, the New Jerusalem. | ||
| Bible fist and gun. | ||
| Pretty up in your grill, right? | ||
| On a Monday morning, Because this is the promised land. | ||
| We're on the eve of the 79th anniversary of D-Day. | ||
| And what we're going to do for the rest of the month is talk about the Battle of Normandy, not just D-Day, because too many kids, what kids are taught today, Pearl Harbor... | ||
| D-Day, the Holocaust, that's World War II. We're going to get into a much more sophisticated analysis of what the war in Europe was all about and how it was won. | ||
| We're going to do that starting tomorrow on the 79th anniversary of the longest day. | ||
| But we must keep in perspective... | ||
| Particularly this audience, you're the tip of the tip of the spear of exactly what this fight is all about. | ||
| And we're going to continue to hammer and harp on one particular thing. | ||
| The weekend edition, the Sunday morning edition of the paper of record of politics in our country. | ||
| That'd be the Washington Post paper of record of the New York Times. | ||
| Lead story of brinkmanship, bagels, and brokered deal. | ||
| We're going to make sure everybody, that's above the fold right there. | ||
| It's all about McHenry, Graves, and McCarthy. | ||
| Essentially, An unconditional surrender, because that's what this was, an unconditional surrender. | ||
| It's so disgusting, it'll take you a while to go through it. | ||
| But here's the reason, is that they have set the framework for not just the American economy in the coming years of the lost decades. | ||
| They've set it for the global economy. | ||
| What they have done is unforgivable. | ||
| They can never wash off, they can take any wire brush they want. | ||
| The 149 that voted for that will never be able to wash off. | ||
| That is the single most important vote that the 118th Congress will take. | ||
| And the rules vote was really another speaker's vote. | ||
| And there we had 29 people. | ||
| Remember, because of the courageous Andrew Clyde of Georgia, he was threatened beforehand if he voted against the rule to bring the bill to the floor. | ||
| And he said the bill should not come to the floor because you've lied to us. | ||
| He said the pistol brace, this incredibly important piece of legislation, they extorted it. | ||
| They said, if you don't vote for this, we are not going to allow that bill to come to the floor. | ||
| Now, this is with 3 million, with their 10 to 40 million pistol braces, however you define it, out there. | ||
| But I think under the ATF rules, Andrew Clyde and the team have determined they're up to 3 million, 3 million American citizens. | ||
| And I would argue... | ||
| The majority of those are women that are gun owners that would be convicted of felonies that will put you in prison, a federal prison for 10 years, have a massive fine, and take away your gun rights for the rest of your life. | ||
| McCarthy and Scalise and this team pulled that off of the calendar, and they printed the calendar for this afternoon. | ||
| The rules calendar for this afternoon is not on there, and we are demanding that it be put back on. | ||
| That these scumbags, because they sold their country out, and they'll sell the country out, and they'll sell you out every step of the way. | ||
| Remember, it's a sellout. Now, when you sit there and go, Steve, how do you say all this? | ||
| And how do you, you know, you're sitting there banging your head and all this. | ||
| Okay, let's connect a dot, and not a small dot, a big dot. | ||
| And how it's going to impact your life, like starting next weekend. | ||
| About what happened with this vote, and that is the Saudis. | ||
| I've been telling you the Saudis, the Saudis, the Saudis, that the BRICS in the third world countries and the developing countries of the world that have the resources are just not going to sit there. | ||
| They've got enough Harvard MBAs and people from Wharton and people from the Sloan School at MIT and University of Chicago. | ||
| They can work the HP-12C, the little hand calculator for the investment bankers. | ||
| They can run the numbers. | ||
| These are very smart people. | ||
| They are not dumb. They see exactly what the uniparty global elites that run this country are doing, and they're not going to be a party to it. | ||
| That's why I keep telling you, go to birchgold.com slash Bannon, get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| You must understand what's going to happen to the security. | ||
| And by the way, you see those Democrats up there the other night, and they're all whining about how this averted a catastrophe to save our currency. | ||
| Three or four of the Democrats stood up there. | ||
| A bald-faced lie. | ||
| By the way, it's the 5th of June. | ||
| Did the sun come up this morning? | ||
| Are we in default anywhere? | ||
| By the way, they're going to start an $800 billion, an $800 billion sale of government securities immediately. | ||
| We're going to go from 3.17 We're going to go 32.5 trillion in the next, I don't know, 30 days or so as they do this massive sale of government securities. | ||
| That's also going to suck because there's going to be higher interest rates. | ||
| They have to because it has nothing to do with the It's going to go because they understand the massive spending is not stopped. | ||
| Inflation is going to be up. | ||
| Federal Reserve is going to have to have another interest rate hike. | ||
| So they're going to have to have for people to buy these securities. | ||
| They're going to have to have interest rates and they're going to be above the 0.0 you're getting on your savings account. | ||
| So just like a Silicon Valley bank, you're going to have deposits be sucked out of this. | ||
| Politico this morning's got a story about the second shoe is about to drop. | ||
| What have we warned you here in the war room? | ||
| Wait for it. Commercial real estate, one and a half trillion dollars, right? | ||
| One and a half trillion dollars comes due in the next two years. | ||
| It's got to all be refinanced at higher levels, lower occupancy. | ||
| Why is that? Because the anarchy and chaos in the cities, okay? | ||
| All coming home to roost. | ||
| All converging. And do not think what happened in Lexington. | ||
| No, they're taking the victory lap in McCarthy. | ||
| When the morning shows on Sunday in the Washington Post are saying you're a great statesman, you're betraying your country. | ||
| Okay? Because these people have no intention of ever backing anything that's good for the country, ever backing a fighter. | ||
| Don't believe me. I get Dave Walsh coming up here. | ||
| The Saudis have cut, I think, what, a million barrels? | ||
| Why? The Saudis and the people around them are smart. | ||
| They're not going to play this game. | ||
| They're going to kowtow to Beijing, but they're not going to play this game. | ||
| Everybody sees exactly what's happening. | ||
| Exactly what's happening. | ||
| And if you think this economy is going to get better, you're sadly mistaken. | ||
| This is all just juiced by more easy money because they don't have the stones to sit there and start doing the cuts that have to happen and the restructuring of this economy that has to happen and the taking on of the woke and weaponized deep state that has to happen administrative state. | ||
| E.J. and Tony from Heritage and from the Steve Moore Prosperity Group is going to join us tonight. | ||
| Can't be on here this morning. Over the weekend I was with him, spent time with him telephonically, and it's shocking. | ||
| He's got analysis. | ||
| He's going to show you that the deal, that the quote-unquote great negotiating team didn't even understand the details or legislatively what reality was. | ||
| And they completely not got played, they just made a mistake. | ||
| When the thing got signed and these guys came in and said, hey, there's going to be 72,000 new people on the food stamp rolls, they were totally shocked. | ||
| They didn't quite get that the Democrats, the Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries played this perfectly. | ||
| The White House played it perfectly for them. | ||
| The one thing they had to do is not gloat too early. | ||
| They gloat it now in the Washington Post. | ||
| And Politico is reporting that Biden's entire campaign will be launched off his massive victory for the Democrats, for the Democratic left, on this debt ceiling surrender. | ||
| We completely, totally surrendered. | ||
| And the two shiny ponies, I told you we're not going to chase shiny toys. | ||
| All of a sudden, none of them want to show any more of the J6, and they put the Pelosi thing out. | ||
| Okay, who cares? Big deal. Right? | ||
| All the hours now, you got all the people that are big advocates saying, oh, no, no, no, there's going to have facial recognition. | ||
| Hey, note to self, the government's had that footage for two years. | ||
| It ought to all be released immediately. | ||
| We're not going to chase a shiny toy, but just release it. | ||
| The other shiny toy on the Ray looks like Ray's going to comply. | ||
| We told you last week, these are McCarthy things to get. | ||
| They think you're dumb. They think you breathe through your mouth. | ||
| Just gotta throw a shiny toward there. | ||
| They'll run for it. Give them a pony. | ||
| Let them play with the pony. | ||
| Not gonna happen. And I gotta tell you, if they do not immediately If they don't immediately put the pistol-brace legislation back on the calendar, and I mean the calendar for this week, we should have a motion to vacate. | ||
| and everything comes to well you know the votes given to McCarthy? No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| He would, we would, we would codify what reality is. | ||
| He only can survive with Democrats. | ||
| He needed 52 Democrats on the rule. | ||
| He needed, what, 165 or 170 Democrats to pass his bill. | ||
| If he wants to be the unified thing, make him own the permanent structure that the Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, is majority leader, not Steve Scalise, it's Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| Hakeem Jeffries is calling the shot. | ||
| Because you think you're going to get anything that's real through here while he's in coalition with Hakeem Jeffries, it's not going to happen. | ||
| And quite frankly, the media's running around with the Keebler elves and all. | ||
| You've got Chris Christie's going to do this, and Mike Pence is going to do this. | ||
| Mike Pence is running a motorcycle, and let's go to Iowa and see Mother and Mike Pence running in on a chop Harley hog. | ||
| And you've got Nikki Haley. | ||
| I watched all Nikki Haley last night, and I watched all of CNN's hour and a half. | ||
| Quite frankly, disaster. | ||
| And Chris, look, you have no earthly idea what you're doing. | ||
| Those panels afterwards are a clown show. | ||
| Nobody can possibly watch it. | ||
| We have to watch it here because it's our professional duty. | ||
| So the audience doesn't have to. | ||
| The takeaway from Nikki Haley, she's just a standard stock, controlled opposition, surrender monkey, you know, all these surrender monkeys on the Republican Party. | ||
| That's what they are. They're nothing but, not victory, not a winning one. | ||
| Remember they used to put that up as the icon? | ||
| No. All they do is surrender. | ||
| All they are is controlled opposition. | ||
| And she started last night. We're going to deconstruct her. | ||
| We're going to deconstruct her town hall from Ukraine to policy to artificial intelligence. | ||
| We're packed wall to wall this morning. | ||
| We're going to find out how your life's about to change quickly. | ||
| Because the Saudis are going to change it quickly. | ||
| Next in the war room. | ||

Spread the word all through Hong Kong. | |

|
We rejoice when there's no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bang. | ||
| Really interesting, the Saudi Arabia again taking the burden while the rest of the group did nothing. | ||
| Yeah, and that alone is a surprise. | ||
| And that wording that the Saudis will do whatever it takes really is what's pushing oil higher at this moment. | ||
| It is all about protecting the price of oil. | ||
| The takeaway from the OPEC weekend meeting is that Saudi Arabia is doubling down after those previous cuts, which caught the market by surprise just two months ago, failed to deliver a sustained price rally. | ||
| So we've got Saudi Arabia reducing output by an additional 1 million barrels a day beginning in July, and that's taking its production, by the way, to the lowest level in several years. | ||
| The Saudis had to cede important ground to two of its biggest allies, Russia, which made no commitment to cut output deeper, and the UAE, which won the right to produce more in 2024. | ||
| Now, the 23-nation group Gavin of Vienna, at a time when oil prices have really been hammered, By a number of factors, including the softer economic outlook, and that is especially so in China. | ||
| So when Saudi Arabia says it's going to do whatever is necessary, it means it is taking on the burden of these deeper output cuts. | ||
| The rest of the cartel offered no additional action, but did pledge to keep their existing cuts until the end of 2024. | ||
| We can take a look at how oil prices have fared year to date, almost down in double digits. | ||
| And it's a big change from a year ago when the Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed prices well above 100. | ||
| Let's go to Dave Walsh. | ||
| We're back. How's this debacle? | ||
| Affect the world economy. Dave Walsh, you've called this for a while now that this thing got passed, which is totally out of control. | ||
| And at the end, I want to ask you about, are you hearing from any of the Keebler elves anything about a sophisticated understanding of the world's economy predicated upon... | ||
| Cheap and plentiful oil and natural gas. | ||
| Sir, 80 bucks a barrel is their target. | ||
| This is, and I keep telling people, this is why you got to go to Birch Gold. | ||
| Understand why the central banks in the world are buying gold at record levels. | ||
| Understand what the global south is doing. | ||
| These people are logical. | ||
| They're smart. They're tough. | ||
| They're not going to continue to give you their natural resources, which they believe are finite, right, in exchange for something called a Federal Reserve note that you're obviously, your elites are devaluing every day. | ||
| Dave Walsh. Well, we can't forget for the media why OPEC was formed in the first place. | ||
| It was formed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, leading an effort to extort the West, drive oil prices up with production cuts back in the late 70s. | ||
| as an illegal cartel. | ||
| It's been an illegal cartel. | ||
| The media was all appalled why they weren't invited to watch these meetings over the weekend, emergency meetings. | ||
| But, of course, you're not going to be invited. | ||
| And these countries in the cartel do make extensive arrangements with one another that vastly differ from those that they're willing to make with the West, with the U.S., and unaligned nations with them, such as China was in with Iran and Iraq, inking 25-year deals At $45 to $40 oil for the next 25 years, | ||
| at 30 % below whatever the OPEC benchmark or Brent crude price is, we've had the IOC in India ramp up Russian purchases up to 2 million barrels a day, which is basically compensating for the entire boycott by Western Europe of Russian oil procurement. | ||
| So that's been handled at super discounted prices by the Russians, have angered the Saudis, so they've corralled the troops, announced their additional million-barrel-a-day cut, and got the members to agree to hold the production cuts previously announced that haven't worked for them over the rest of the year. | ||
| So demonstrating the critical importance of oil and gas to the rest of the world in propelling their economies forward. | ||
| This is essentially important to economic development globally, because the action now is decreasingly in dollars and all in localized currency now. | ||
| Okay, hang on. We're going to have both Rahim, who's doing amazing reporting over the National Pulse, where everybody go there this morning, and Ben from Europe. | ||
| We're going to come on here right afterwards, talk about Ukraine, how that plays in the geopolitics in the global finance. | ||
| But I want to go back and make sure we don't bury the lead. | ||
| Dave Walsh has been on this, and we've talked about this for years, about the plan to consolidate the Eurasian landmass under one superpower that would become a hegemon, and that would be the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| In this deal, they just announced your oil prices are going to 80 bucks minimum. | ||
| That's their target. And remember, there's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences. | ||
| They called an emergency meeting in Vienna. | ||
| Why? Because they saw what the United States... | ||
| And they see they didn't unwind any of the Green New Deal craziness, any of the madness there. | ||
| They're going to spend. They're going to devalue the dollar. | ||
| They're going to crush their economy. | ||
| They're not going to be a big customer here. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party with the Persians, with Iraq, and with the Saudis have 25-year deals. | ||
| At $40 a barrel or, and I want to make sure I get the terms generally right here, or at 30 % discount to whatever the cartel's current market price is, because they're not locked in for 25 years or $40. | ||
| If it does rise, they still get a 30 % discount. | ||
| Am I correct in that, Dave Walsh? | ||
| They are locked in in the case of Iraq and Iran. | ||
| Members of OPEC to China now announced right before this meeting this weekend At 30 % lower than the global benchmark price and for fixed minimum commitments of production by those two countries. | ||
| And the India deal basically has been at 45 to 49 a barrel from Russia throughout, up to 2 million barrels a day now with India. | ||
| Don't be confused, Posse. | ||
| When you hear these candidates talking about, on the left particularly, you know, by the way, the Biden administration's reaction to this was again to join it. | ||
| Last Friday announced in the Chacao region of the tribal properties in New Mexico to ban oil, gas, and mining in the surrounding regions by a bandwidth of 10 miles, so no further production of oil and gas in that area. | ||
| That's been the We know the Democrats' position on this. | ||
| Restrict production further and de facto join OPEC with additional government-mandated production reductions here. | ||
| That doesn't work. We need to challenge. | ||
| We need to challenge our candidates. | ||
| On the Republican side, what are your specific policies about handling OPEC and about dependence on oil and gas here? | ||
| We know President Trump's policies, well articulated, well enacted. | ||
| We don't know DeSantis. | ||
| We don't know The former governor of South Carolina, we do know in South Carolina, the Republican House has voted to throttle 50 % of baseload energy in South Carolina in favor of solar and wind. | ||
| We do know in Florida that the state is moving forward with an all-solar energy plan going forward for the next 25 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We know that. We don't know the articulated policies of these candidates on energy. | |
| We don't know them. But correct me if I'm wrong, Brother Walsh, I just heard McCarthy, you talk about the Woken Weaponized, we proved that the permitting, it was a joke, Jeff Clark came on here on Friday's show, I think it was. The whole permitting thing is just more optics, it's performative, it means nothing. | ||
| Just like the executive orders means nothing, because the OMB director can get rid of it. | ||
| The whole deal is performative, except that the money keeps going with no cap. | ||
| Dave Walsh, am I correct? | ||
| McCarthy had every opportunity to put in stuff about the invasion on the southern border, to stop money for Ukraine, to stop any woken weaponized, to particularly go after the Green Dew. | ||
| Did he, did the Republican House, because we're not going to let him worm away from this, did the Republican House essentially codify the very radical energy plan of the Biden regime, sir? | ||
| The IRA, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which is all about the EOC green plan for the country, was codified by the actions of the House and now the Senate last week, by the way, in the House with a three-to-one Republican support of its own members for moving forward with the same Biden plan that many of them voted for in the first place and whom 16 Republican senators voted for in the first place. | ||
| Simply ratified their positioning on that from before, which is all about green and acting like we don't need fossil fuels. | ||
| Look at the transactions of the rest of the world. | ||
| And Dave did that amazing takedown of South Carolina of what they're doing with energy. | ||
| I want to go back to something. | ||
| Because we have an $890 billion defense budget. | ||
| Remember, this deal's not over because they put pins in two things. | ||
| One's a supplemental for Ukraine, more Ukraine money. | ||
| Rahim and Ben Harner are going to be next. | ||
| We're going to talk about that. They also put a pin in a supplemental for defense because they're not spending enough on defense. | ||
| Defense budget's not big enough. | ||
| Remember, tens of billions of dollars are going in your sons and daughters to defend The quite corrupt House of Saud in Saudi Arabia. | ||
| Defend it. At the same time, they're cutting 25-year deals with the Persians and with Iraq. | ||
| By the way, Iraq where you spent, what is it, $6 trillion? | ||
| And I think 7,000 of our sons and daughters dead and many more wounded in the PTSD. They cut a 25-year deal. | ||
| I want this to burn into your soul about what reality is. | ||
| And stop listening to the happy talk. | ||
| Okay? Remember, they used to have the rally monkeys in baseball that put their hats on backwards. | ||
| They have the little monkey. I think it was the Mets or somebody. | ||
| This is all controlled opposition. | ||
| This is surrender. Total and complete across-the-board surrender. | ||
| Dave, I need you to hang on. | ||
| I'm going to bring in Raheem and Harnwell in a second, but hang on to the next break, and here's why. | ||
| The buried lead, your oil and gas is going to go to 80 bucks as a floor in North. | ||
| That's their focus because of what happened last week, because they said these people are not serious. | ||
| Also, your greatest enemies got an either half price or worst case 30 % discount. | ||
| Suck on that. Embrace that. | ||
| And in addition, Brother Walsh, and I'll have you answer this when you come back, One of the key components to all of those deals, it's going to be converted in some sort of basket of yuan and other maybe currencies throughout the developing nations and maybe some sort of gold-backed. | ||
| That's where the central banks are buying gold. | ||
| Maybe it'll be kind of gold-backed, right? | ||
| These guys are going to a gold standard. | ||
| Why? They don't trust the petrodollar. | ||
| They don't trust the greenback. | ||
| They don't trust the Federal Reserve note. | ||
| And why should they trust it? | ||
| They're not going to be ripped off. | ||
| They're going to stand their ground and say, hey, guess what? | ||
| You keep doing this, you're going to pay premium price. | ||
| Okay? And if you're going to codify the radical nature of the Green New Deal, we're going to look for customers. | ||
| Oh, and by the way, can you still pay for our defense? | ||
| Can you still pay for our defense? | ||
| Yeah, not a problem. Because we're suckers. | ||
| You're tired of being a sucker? | ||
| You're tired of being spun? | ||
| Well, stop watching TV for stupid people. | ||
| Let the war room burn into your soul. | ||

|
All next. Your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Okay, welcome back. Dave Walsh is going to hang with us. | ||
| I got Raheem and Ben from Benson, London. | ||
| Raheem's just back from his morning jog and, you know, he's just got out of the sauna to join us. | ||
| We'll get Raheem up in a second. | ||
| By the way, National Pulse is on fire, so he must have worked all night. | ||
| Finally. Dave Walsh. | ||
| Talk to me about the buried lead of this, that those 25-year deals are also to get off the U.S. dollar, sir. | ||
| Oh, totally. Essential to the China-Iran-Iraq deals that emerged mid-last week before this OPEC meeting is the fact that the 30 % discount from Brent crude pricing that they'll enjoy buying at and minimum quantities that they'll buy, China, who are desperate for oil, are priced in or paid for in yuan. | ||
| And in yuan that can only be spent in China or paid in the currency of Angola, Nigeria, Gabon, and the Congo, who have enormous debt service payments due to China already based on deals with China for infrastructure building and other resource harvesting by China in those countries that are in danger of being in default. | ||
| Oil can be traded with China for Yuan, spent in China only, or be with the aforementioned countries who are heavily dependent on Chinese debt that they're in a perilous condition of possibly missing interest payments on. | ||
| So the petrodollar is gone on these transactions. | ||
| These are Yuan transactions. | ||
| So Dave, hang on for a second because I want to pivot to the other part geopolitically of this. | ||
| And as Raheem knows, what the Chinese Communist Party is doing is running the British East India Company's strategy in reverse. | ||
| They're running back in reverse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the Belt and Road strategy acted out. | |
| And predatory capitalism. | ||
| They control the elites, they lend money, they can't pay back, and then they cut a deal. | ||
| And this was to destroy the petrodollar, which is to destroy the US dollar. | ||
| I'm going to put a pin in there, but I just want everybody to understand. | ||
| Dave, their target is $80 a barrel, right? | ||
| Exactly. But their real goal is to get it much higher. | ||
| Am I correct in that? | ||
| The Saudi national budget can only be balanced at $80 a barrel or higher. | ||
| Which is the floor of these activities meant to achieve their longer term goal is to get back well over $100. | ||
| But $80 is necessary to meet their already approved kingdom budget. | ||
| So they've got some immediate need. | ||
| Okay. It's a million. | ||
| By the way, the budget also includes America picking up the tab for their defense. | ||
| It's $80. It's $80 a barrel minimum where it's going to our greatest rival at, I don't know, $40 or it's going at 30 % discount, right? | ||
| And then from all the guys we defended, the $6 trillion. | ||
| How's that $6 trillion that the Bush folks spend in Iraq? | ||
| How's it looking at now? | ||
| Forget the honored dead and the wounded and the PTSD and the suicides. | ||
| Let's put a pin in that, just the hard economics. | ||
| How's that looking right now? That looking great? | ||
| They're doing a deal. It's all to destroy the petrodollar, to destroy the dollar, the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| They understand that's how the Brits fell, right? | ||
| That's how the Spanish fell. | ||
| You take down the currency. | ||
| I want to show you, last night, and of course none of the CNN guys picked it up, it was quite illustrative. | ||
| Because Nikki Haley mouthed all the bromides from a political movement in a party that really doesn't exist anymore. | ||
| The Controlled Opposition Surrender Party of the Republican Party, the GOP. GOPE, I guess we call it, the establishment. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play Nikki's... | ||
| This is her great geopolitical... | ||
| In a complicated world where you've got an invasion on the southern border, you've got everything going on, this is the level of sophistication you get from one Nikki Haley. | ||
| They say, by the way, her foreign policy is her strongest suit, man. | ||
| This is her wheelhouse. | ||

Let's play it. This is bigger than Ukraine. | |
| This is a war about freedom. | ||
| And it's one we have to win. | ||
| You look at those Ukrainians and what they do when Russia invaded their freedoms. | ||
| They moved in there, went to the front lines and fought for their country. | ||
| The women said, we're not going to stay back. | ||
| They made Molotov cocktails to defend their country. | ||
| Everybody gave them five days to survive. | ||
| But yet their passion and their will pushed them forward. | ||
| What we have to understand is A win for Ukraine is a win for all of us because tyrants tell us exactly what they're going to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What we heard? China said they were going to take Hong Kong. | |
| They did it. Russia said they were going to invade Ukraine. | ||
| We watched that happen. China says Taiwan's next. | ||
| We better believe them. Russia said Poland and the Baltics are next. | ||
| If that happens, we're looking at a world war. | ||
| This is about preventing war. | ||
| And so the way you prevent war is not that we give cash to Ukraine, not that we put troops on the ground, but that we get with our allies and we make sure that we give them the equipment and the ammunition to win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because when Ukraine wins, that sends a message to China with Taiwan. | |
| It sends a message to Iran that wants to build a bomb. | ||
| You don't send cash? | ||
| What planet are you on, lady? | ||
| I think it's $5 billion a month. | ||
| We're paying for the entire government. | ||
| Cash money. Cash money. | ||
| We're paying for their retirements. | ||
| We're paying for their health care. Don't give them cash. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Rahim Kassam, it's such a happy talk pablum. | ||
| I'll let you take it first. | ||
| And I just want to say, as Rahim and Ben come on here, the New York Times is breaking today. | ||
| The New York Times, if we can get that story up there, breaking today, oh my god, the Ukrainian army is wearing uniforms that have Nazi logos, Nazi patches, Nazi symbolism, and their defense minister's been tweeting it out, it looks bad, they gotta take it down. Rahim, correct me if I'm wrong, brother. | ||
| Did you not report this the first couple of weeks of the war? | ||
| I think it was. And then it vilified. | ||
| I remember somebody saying, oh my god, these war room and the Rahim Kassam, all these pro-Russian apparatchiks are saying that these guys are wearing Nazi memorabilia and actually have a lot of, you know, because remember, in World War II, just remember The guys coming to this cross, a lot of those guys were fighting with the Nazis, were those divisions and battalions fighting with the Nazis, Rahim Kassam. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to put my phone to my ear after that Nikki Haley clip and say 2004 called and it wants its foreign policy back, but also New York Times 2014 called and they want Rahim Kassam's analysis back, which was from the front lines during the Medan revolution seeing Nazis and neo-Nazis there on the side of obviously the European Union on the side of obviously John McCain and it's nice it's nice don't get me wrong that the New York Times is finally catching up to reality the Washington Post actually caught up to reality their own story like this last year but but here's the signal not the noise right the noises are you know the Nazis badges on the things yet we know that already here's the signal last month Politico puts out a story that says basically, | ||
| hey, Zelensky, you know, people aren't so sure about you. | ||
| You're embezzling all this money, so says Seymour Hersh, so says people, sources inside the US government. | ||
| And it's said in the article that he was susceptible to his own color revolution. | ||
| Well, that's really interesting because there's some warning sirens going off clearly at the power centers of Western foreign policy here to say, you know, we have thrown our lot in with this guy and we don't have an awful lot to show for it. | ||
| The spring offensive never happened. | ||
| We're now looking at maybe there's a summer offensive on the cards. | ||
| But at this point in time, I think a lot of people, you know me, I come from a foreign policy background, a lot of people in the foreign policy set Where I still hang out with the McMortons from time to time, despite how much they despise my politics now, they admit behind the scenes, this is going nowhere, guys. | ||
| By the way, Rahim, as you know, we've said that Zelensky lectured us at Davos a year ago that you guys haven't read the World War II memoirs and don't know World War II. I said, dude, I've forgotten more about that than you'll ever know. | ||
| And he should pick up a copy of Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest and focus on the chapters about President Diem. | ||
| Because when the CIA and the administrative state and the oligarchs in the West are finished with you, They will literally toss you out for an assassination attempt, as they did to Diem, assassinated by the CIA after they used him up in South Vietnam. | ||
| Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Raheem mentioned Cy Hirsch. | ||
| He had this thing, and I want you to break this down for us again, that Times of London piece on showing that it was Ukrainian paramilitary and Ukrainian intel that really did the dirty work in blowing up Are allied Germany's number one source of energy that pipeline in the North Sea, sir? Steve, good morning. | ||
| This is a fascinating article that broke on Friday of last week, and I haven't really seen it covered that much beyond the times, in the English language, that is. | ||
| It was a report drawn from articles in the German national media, in the Sudeten-Deutsche Zeitung. | ||
| Basically, and it's quoting chapter and verse. | ||
| You've got all the granular details there of what the German equivalent of the FBI have uncovered since September of last year to do with the sabotage on the two Nord Stream gas pipelines. | ||
| And the evidence here, they've got in the Times article, they've got the map there of where this yacht called Andromeda embarked from in Germany and the islands that it sojourned on and the dates that it was there. | ||
| They have everything. They've got the DNA trace. | ||
| They found the traces of weapons-grade explosives on that yacht. | ||
| It was piloted via a Polish shell operation actually run by the Ukrainians. | ||
| And they're following all these things through. | ||
| And I suggested on the show on Saturday, Steve, Really, how has this got into the public domain like this? | ||
| Because if the German national broadcaster is pushing this out, and the research is being done by the German equivalent of the FBI, it's clearly the German government behind this. | ||
| And it's probably evidence of a pivot now, at long last, that Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, is trying to affect. | ||
| Because his polling results Steve, they're in the toilet. | ||
| He's level pegging now with the alternative for Deutschland. | ||
| As Rahim mentioned to me just before we came on air, we've got the European elections coming up in June of next year. | ||
| You've got all these big things that are taking place, and I think Germany is now at the point where it realizes that it cannot continue with its support for Ukraine. | ||
| As Rahim just mentioned, this is actually going nowhere. | ||
| There has been no... Ukraine tried to take down their economy. | ||
| Don't bury the lead. And we get Walsh back on after you guys bounce. | ||
| Walsh is going to talk about the German energy. | ||
| The German elites are just more advanced than the American elites in this craziness on the Green Deal. | ||
| Alternative for Deutschland is polling between 19 % and 26%. | ||
| That's why you're seeing the leaks by German intelligence and to the German media about this. | ||
| The Ukrainian intelligence who we know... | ||
| Right now you've got the Ukraine with these drones, the shell in Moscow. | ||
| They've already done a missile strike into Poland. | ||
| Now we know that the Ukrainians, it's out of control, it's going to metastasize. | ||
| I'm not saying the Ukrainians shouldn't be fighting back hard. | ||
| Look, they're fighting for the country. | ||
| Nikki Haley sitting there giving happy talk. | ||
| We're going to stick around in Ukraine until the last Ukrainian male dies on a battlefield. | ||
| Okay? I'm not saying they shouldn't fight back. | ||
| They are, but this war is metastasizing into Russia now also. | ||
| With these skirmishes and these partisan groups, they're only going to take so much of this thing and then you're going to trigger. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, before I let you go, the spring offensive, where did it go? | ||
| What happened to it? Especially this big thing they touted for months and months and months. | ||
| Well, what is the date today? | ||
| It's June the 5th. | ||
| And spring is going to be over in less than a fortnight. | ||
| So, if anything, we're talking about a summer offensive. | ||
| A recent intervention, Steve, that stuck in my mind, is by General Mark Milling, Maureen's old friend and General Chief of Staff. | ||
| He was speaking in France on the 79th anniversary of the D-Day celebrations, and he made a number of marks there that I think were quite interesting. | ||
| He said that the Abrams tanks, the 31 tanks that the US have pledged, And won't be coming online until the autumn. | ||
| He said even though the US is training the F-16 fighter pilots, those jets are being supplied by Europe, those aren't coming online until the autumn. | ||
| So if those two crucial aspects aren't coming online into the autumn, there's probably not going to be a summer offensive either. | ||
| Not really. Ben, thank you. | ||
| We'll put your social media up. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, thank you. | ||
| Raheem's with us. Dave Walsh is with us. | ||
| Mike Davis is with us. | ||
| Todd Bensman. All of it next in the War Room. | ||

| In Congress, Ron DeSantis pushed a 23 % national sales tax, where the middle class pays more. | ||
| 90 % of families would get a tax hike if DeSantis replaced the current system. | ||
| President Trump cut taxes a lot, lowering tax rates for everyone. | ||
| Trump cut taxes. | ||
| DeSantis tried to raise them. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, wrong on tax hikes, just not ready. | ||

| Okay, I'm going to get Raheem back here in a second. | ||
| By the way, breaking news out of CBS Chicago. | ||
| In police stations there, 25 have measles. | ||
| This is from illegal aliens, I guess, sleeping on the floor. | ||
| Todd Benson is going to join us here. | ||
| We're going to talk about the ongoing invasion into the United States. | ||
| Every town a border town, every state a border state. | ||
| Dave Walsh, talking about going to Third World, that's the energy. | ||
| The elites in Germany are even more radical than the elites here. | ||
| I know that's hard to believe, but they are. | ||
| This is why Alternative for Deutschland, which are not exactly the good people, not exactly the biggest fire breathers I've ever met, are up at 19 % and 26 % in the polling over there, and it's freaking out the German establishment. | ||
| How radical is this? Is this between Ukraine and the radical... | ||
| energy policies, Dave, which you've documented closely and quite frankly is well watched in Germany in translation. | ||
| How radical are the German elites? | ||
| Incredibly radical. | ||
| They've spent probably close to three-quarter trillion on their Energiewende program, which is an attempt to convert their electricity sector to vast majority renewable solar, which works in Germany 3.4 hours a day, and wind which works in Germany about seven and a half hours a day. | ||
| All the rest of the time doesn't operate to more than a half of that kind of capacity. | ||
| Energy costs before the Ukraine invasion were already electricity four and a half times what they are in the US state by state. | ||
| Now they're about seven times higher than the US. Germany is beginning to be now in a state of industrial recession, which is leaking into their retail economy because of the cost of energy. | ||
| And to point Haley's comments, very troubling. | ||
| Germany, for example, is not an ally in this activity with the Ukraine. | ||
| They're not an ally. We don't have support from a group of congealed allies on our throwing money into Zelensky's pockets for this. | ||
| All due respect to her commentary, which is very confusing, because a war worth winning, as she put it, is only one worth fighting in. | ||
| And we've decided not to put boots on the ground. | ||
| We've decided not to fight. | ||
| So we've already extrapolated from that that this is not a war worth winning. | ||
| We're not taking actions and we shouldn't to go ahead and participate actively in it. | ||
| Anyhow, alternative for Deutschland energy policy is very clear. | ||
| Against jet biofuel. | ||
| Against a notion of man-caused global warming. | ||
| Great. Now, in favor of wind, if and only if, in any of the provinces or states where it's going to be installed, not one citizen objects to it. | ||
| If not one citizen objects to it, in various states, in Lower Saxony, in Bavaria, they're in favor of it. | ||
| Great policy. | ||
| There is a lot of Germans opposed to the proliferation of wind and solar for environmental reasons in their country. | ||
| So no, they're on the right page on energy. | ||
| Energy for Germany in abundance. | ||
| And this is why they're at 26%, right? | ||
| Real quickly, energy, what's going to happen? | ||
| Give me a minute on the cartel, the Saudis, 80 bucks, how high is it going to go? | ||
| They'll achieve their objective. | ||
| We're talking about energy prices, gas and oil prices in the West, oil prices at 100 bucks a barrel, that's the objective. | ||
| They do not deal even-handedly. | ||
| OPEC has never dealt even-handedly with Non-member affiliated states, being Western Europe, being the US, Canada, completely different deals are cut based on the benchmark crude price. | ||
| They do happily cut deals at 30%, 40 % less than that for new business. | ||
| The Chinese are business people. | ||
| They've already negotiated 30 % off in Iraq and Iran. | ||
| India has had the same benefit for six months now with Russia. | ||
| So among new business and friendly states, a whole different price structure than what we see here because the original goal was to extort the West. | ||
| That was the goal and objective of OPEC. End of the dollar empire. | ||

Yeah, exactly. Walsh, how do people get to you? | |
| Dave Walsh Energy, where do they go? | ||
| You can reach me, Dave Walsh Energy, on Getter and on Truth Social. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. Dave Walsh has been right on so many things. | ||
| You make sure you get all over his social media. | ||
| Thank you, Dave. Brilliant calls. | ||
| Rahim, any closing observations on Ukraine, Europe, all this? | ||
| Because I want to pivot to your story on Poland. | ||
| Give me your closing observations on this chapter. | ||
| Well, there is another war. | ||
| That's brewing in Europe at the moment, and it's a war that is concerning Europe almost as much as what's going on in Ukraine. | ||
| Between the Kosovans and the Serbs, the ethno-nationalistic fighting that's taking place within Europe's boundaries now is threatening to spill over into something else. | ||
| So they're now having to plan and plunder their own budgets and their own forward thinking and their own strategy to accommodate for that. | ||
| Hang on. This is another brilliant observation by Rahim. | ||
| It spread into the Balkans and back to all the problems we've had from time immemorial. | ||
| Really, the starting of World War I was all started because of this ethno-tension down in the Balkans in Sarajevo back then by the Serbs. | ||
| And the Serbs are now fighting. | ||
| Rahim, give me a minute before we go to break on this. | ||
| Is this because of the conflict in Ukraine? | ||
| Is this conflict metastasizing now down into the Balkans? | ||
| Well, for me, it's like it's Billy Joel geopolitics, right? | ||
| We didn't start the fire. | ||
| But it doesn't help. | ||
| And it's certainly pushed, I think, tensions higher and higher. | ||
| You know, it's pushing weapons all around Europe at the moment is another thing that people don't realize. | ||
| The United States is selling into Ukraine or donating into Ukraine are ending up not just in Ukraine. | ||
| There are so many contingent aspects of this, and that's why, yeah, fine. | ||
| The New York Times wants to come out and say, hey, yeah, we just noticed these Nazi badges on the uniforms. | ||
| Yeah, we were doing that a year ago. | ||
| We're onto something way, way worse at this point, and that is the spillover, the addition to the extraneous war that you're going to see fighting in Europe now over the course of this next year, and it ain't in the Ukraine. | ||
| Rahim, real quickly, it's going to be a tough summer in Europe, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. I mean, drastically, drastically tough. | ||
| Not just because of countries' domestic issues, but like you say, the geopolitical situation is going to hell in a handbasket there. | ||
| We cover it all at thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| Hang on, I want to come back. | ||
| National Pulse, you've got to go there. | ||
| We'll talk about more. Short commercial break. | ||
| Raheem, we've got Mike Davis, Todd Benzman. | ||
