steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
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.
jake tapper
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.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
mika brzezinski
Thanks for joining us.
The Associated Press reports their meeting lasted roughly 35 minutes.
The AP also cites footage from the meeting released by Chinese state media in which Chinese President Xi is...
Attributed as saying, quote, the two sides have agreed to follow through on the common understandings President Biden and I have reached in Bali.
So that meeting taking place this morning, very early.
joe scarborough
Yeah, very early this morning for us, not so for them.
But Jonathan O'Meara, this has been coming for some time.
I must say, just...
I've been saying on this show since 2007, I think the supremacy of China has been overvalued by Americans.
I think China is obviously the rising power and we're going to share the world stage with them for the next 30, 40, 50 years.
They certainly aren't going to dominate us.
steve bannon
But I also think in this talk, This guy, he loves trying to be a big thinker, Joe Scarborough.
Nobody cares. You couldn't pick China out on a map, dude.
In fact, is Joe Scarborough, have you ever been anywhere outside of South Padre Island?
Dude, you know zero about the world, never been in the world, didn't serve in the military, have no earthly aspect of what's going on.
Don't say, I've been telling people since 2007 about China not really being a rights power.
Shut up. Nobody cares what you have to say.
You pontificate, and you're always wrong.
You've got the blood in your hands of the dead and the dying in Ukraine because you've been the cheerleaders of the pom-poms out there.
We got poso in Ben Harn. We're going to join us in a moment In fact, we have the latest update. Okay, here's what I'm doing. We're bringing the colon, but I want to play Can we play it? Can we play the late? Let's we got an update on morning Joe on this blinking cowtow Then we're bringing the colon from New Federal State to talk about Lao Bajie. What do they think about this?
unidentified
Let's go and let it rip. I raised us concerns shared by a growing number of countries About the PRC's provocative actions in the Taiwan Strait as well as in the South and East China Seas seas.
On Taiwan, I reiterated the longstanding U.S. One China policy.
That policy has not changed.
It's guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three joint communiques, the six assurances.
We do not support Taiwan independence.
We remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side.
We continue to expect the peaceful resolution of cross-strait differences.
We remain committed to meeting our responsibilities under the Taiwan Relations Act, including making sure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself.
steve bannon
This was the humiliating kowtow of the United States of America.
This is how tributary state acts.
They crawled over there and Biden's sitting there going, oh, this thing, silly balloon thing.
They didn't even know about it, right?
They didn't even know about it.
All lies because they've taken money from the CCP. When Comer says we're going to get to the real head of money, yes, you've got the Ukrainian oligarchs and they're giving you money.
That's why we're all over Ukraine with his buddy Zelensky.
But the original cash...
came from the Chinese Communist Party companies.
That's in the laptop from hell.
That Garrett Ziegler can go through chapter and verse.
Now they've put it in a published form.
Nicole, the new federal state, when the Chinese, give me your assessment of Lao Beijing, of the honorable Chinese people that are enslaved by this dictatorship, when they see the most powerful nation on earth groveling to the criminal masters in Beijing, ma'am.
nicole tsai
Well, the first question the Chinese Lao Baixin were asking is, why did Blinken choose a Father's Day to pay a tributal visit to Papa Xi?
I mean, Xi Jinping is named Xi Dada or Xi Baba to the Chinese subjects.
So they're wondering why the most powerful nation's top diplomat were chosen on Father's Day to please Papa Xi.
I mean, that's the first and foremost question the Chinese lobbyists were asking.
And you know what? The CCP is a mastermind of the choreography of diplomacy because in the beginning, They didn't announce that Blinken will have a chance to meet with Xi Jinping, but after a seven-hour close talk between Blinken and the CCP top diplomat Wang Yi, and they agreed to let Blinken to have a meeting with Xi, and guess what?
The top CCP diplomat says the US-China relation has reached a historical juncture where the US must make a choice between either cooperation or confrontation.
And you know what? After the meeting with Blinken, Xi praised Blinken's visit for making progress toward the right direction.
So what is the right direction?
That is the cooperation with the CCP. And diplomat Wang Yi also said China was very upset with the American people's negative perception of China.
According to the Pew Research in 2022, 82 % of the American people had a negative perception about Communist China.
steve bannon
And now, Xi Jinping wants to blink in the Biden administration to erase American people's negative perception about the CCP. In Taiwan, when they hear Blinken up there, and you've got the Taiwan officials from the chip manufacturer in Germany saying, hey, we're more than just silicon chips, right?
And you've got to start treating us as a real people.
When they see the kowtowing, given everything the CCP's done about this naval blockade, the cyber blockade around Taiwan, what do you think the Chinese in Taiwan think about Blinken's journey to crawl on his belly, to beg in seven hours to have a meeting with Xi Ma'am?
nicole tsai
Well, both people in Taiwan and China across the Strait We want America to act like the world's leader, not cuddling to Papa Xi.
And the CCP has already told Blinken that when it comes to Taiwan, Beijing has no room for compromise or concession.
That is, the CCP want the Biden administration to inherit the One China policy, Or the so-called strategic ambiguity that is only to recognize Beijing as the only official representation of the Chinese people and not to recognize Taiwan as an independent nation that represents the Chinese people's yearning for freedom and rule of law.
So this is a sellout not only to the people in Taiwan, but also to the 1.4 billion Chinese lobbying because we want America to act like a world leader, to confront the CCP, not to cooperate with the CCP. They've already declared, Xi's already declared people's war against us.
steve bannon
They're already at an active, unrestricted warfare against us right now.
Decoupling is primary importance.
When you see, give me your assessment, in Lan Baixing's assessment, when they see Garrett Ziegler and others putting up The compromise by the Chinese Communist Party officials of money to the Biden regime, and they see this war by the Justice Department and FBI against Trump, against Miles, against MAGA, against Peter Navarro, against myself, against James O'Keefe, right?
And we just go down the list, everybody.
What is their sense?
What's the Chinese people's sense?
Because they know what the bribery's done.
They know how the CCP works.
They know how the CCP works.
In their local communities, they know how to work on their block.
Remember, there's only 92 million communists in China, 1.4 billion people.
The mainstream media never wants to talk about it.
It's only a very small, tiny fraction.
But they're the people reporting on honest Lao Bai Jing that go about their daily work.
They've seen this before.
They know how the system works.
What is their sense of what's happened to America, and particularly with the Biden regime being completely bought and paid for by the CCP, ma'am?
nicole tsai
Well, the 1.3 billion Chinese lobbying felt being betrayed and being sold out by this administration as soon as Mao's school, CCP enemy number one, had been prosecuted, arrested, and detained since March 15.
Because Mao's school represents the 1.3 billion Chinese people's hopes and dreams.
for living in the free and democratic society governed by the rule of law.
But the weaponized DOJ and the FBI under the Biden administration put him behind the bar without bail.
And we just learned that the DOJ has dropped five charges against the FTX funder, you know, for the multi-billion dollar fraud, yet Moscow can still not get his bail request approved.
So that sends a very disturbing message to people from around the world.
Where's the justice and judicial integrity in this system?
steve bannon
Hang on, the Justice Department dropped, one of the charges they dropped, correct me if I'm wrong, is about Friedman bribing Chinese officials to look the other way, correct?
I think they're dropping that charge.
They're dropping the charge of him offering $40 million of bribe money to that, just like all the different bribes of Steve Wynn and these others.
The American business apparatus is absolutely part of the money laundering and the bribery going from Chinese officials and back and forth.
So this is part of the outrage.
nicole tsai
Go ahead, ma'am. And don't forget, FTX co-founder, he's the second biggest donor to the Democratic Party.
But now...
And he did not serve a single day in federal prison.
He was accused of multi-billion dollar fraud.
He did not spend a single day behind the bar.
And now the federal prosecutor dropped five charges against him because, you know what, he has a great relationship with the CCP and the Democratic Party.
steve bannon
Because he helps fund them.
Nicole, what is the direction?
With Biden and company kowtowing, is the CCP going to back off any of their unrestricted warfare against the American people, ma'am, in your mind?
nicole tsai
Well, remember, peace through strength.
When you're acting weak, You're inviting for more aggression.
So this appeasement policy is going to embolden the CCP even stronger.
We already know that it's the Wall Street, Silicon Valley and America's failed policy toward the CCP over the last several decades.
enabled the CCP's rise to the global power.
And now further the appeasement policy will even make the CCP stronger.
So we know the CCP is not content with only enslaving the 1.3 billion Chinese people.
They also want to enslave the American people.
They want to make America a CCP province.
steve bannon
A tributary state of what the Biden regime's already doing.
Nicole, how do people get to the new federal state, particularly your broadcast during the day, all the content you guys are putting out?
nicole tsai
Follow us on our getter account, NFSC Speaks, and the Twitter account, NFSC Speak.
And also visit our website at NFSCofficial.com.
And join us. This is a crucial battlefield.
If we don't take back America, we're going to lose the entire world.
And America is an exceptional country with a God-given mission to save this country, to save liberty and freedom from the CCP. Nicole, honored to have you on here.
steve bannon
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much.
Fight for freedom. Ben Harnwell, we got about a minute, got about 90 seconds here.
I'm going to hold you through the break. Posobiec's going to join us.
What do you call it? Our sociopathic overlords.
It's not working out for them in Ukraine right now, is it, sir?
ben harnwell
No, Steve, good morning. Sadly, it's not.
The article I think I'm going to go straight to now and then I'll continue after the break is the third article, Denver.
It's the Wall Street Journal article.
And I'll read the quote now and then I'll expand on it after the break.
Faced with setbacks in probing attacks, Ukrainian commanders over recent days have in many places paused advances to reassess tactics.
That is an astonishing state of affairs, Steve, considering that for the last three months at least, the world's mainstream media has been bombarding us with stories that the Spring Offensive was not only going to reverse the situation in the war, but it could even potentially bring President Putin and his administration to being pushed out of the way for the colossal failure in Russia.
Now, we finally see that that's very far from the truth.
And after the break, I'm just going to dig in a little bit deeper and say exactly what is going on.
steve bannon
No. We're going to get...
And we're going to put this up in the face and the grill of Mika and Joe.
Because they're one of the causes of this.
The cheerleaders in the West of this policy.
The brave dead and dying on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Brought to you by the Biden regime, the party at Davos, and the American media.
Next in the War Room.
unidentified
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon
Okay, Ben, I want to take this from the top.
It's very important people understand because here's what's coming up from the warmongers.
And this is on the Republican side.
You're going to get a $100 billion supplement that's going to come up very quickly for Ukraine.
So now's the time to have the adult conversation.
We're not doing this anymore.
We're not going to do this.
Ben, take it from the top.
Walk me through what's actually going on.
It's now being reported of the dead and the dying on the battlefield, this great spring offensive that was going to take...
Remember, we're going to take back the Donbass, and then we're going to pivot, and we're going to take back Crimea.
You're going to take back Crimea.
Donbass first, and then Crimea.
And we kept saying, if you do this, it's never going to happen, and all it's going to lead to is more agony for the people in Ukraine.
unidentified
Ben Harnwell. Thanks, Steve.
ben harnwell
Okay Denver, I'm gonna call now.
unidentified
Okay, we have a freeze.
steve bannon
Okay, hang over a second, Ben.
Hang over a second. Yeah, you just froze up, so can you take it from the top?
ben harnwell
Yes, of course. If Denver could put up the Institute for the Study of War graphic, which has the current state of play in the counteroffensive, I just want to say a few words about that.
Really, you can just see when the graphic comes up, you'll just see And you need a magnifying glass, Steve, to be able to identify this.
We were promised by the world's media.
There it is. We were promised an overwhelming show of force by Ukraine.
President Zelensky was picking his moment.
He wasn't going to reveal when it was going to be.
It was going to be a lightning strike.
Blitz of surprise on Russia.
I can't even, I've got this graphic in front of me, I can't even sort of describe to you how little is going on there.
It is basically Ukrainians being forced into the meat grinder.
That is literally what's going on, to explain these very brief terms.
What you see here is just south of Excuse me, south of Orykiv and Velika Novosilka is the primary push on behalf of Ukraine.
It's making no difference. As you were saying earlier, Steve, this is basically a re-win of what we've seen before.
I have to say, there does seem to be a Battle of Britain element here, because what is really holding back I mean, we've given them tanks, we've given them missiles.
What is really holding them back is the superior air dominance, domination of Russia.
And I think that's actually going to be decisive in this world because it's absolutely clear on the current military arrangement, Ukraine isn't going to be moving forward from these positions.
Here's something that's very interesting.
steve bannon
Ben, hang on for one second.
By the way, the more pressure is going to come in this supplemental, you gave them the tanks, you gave them everything.
Now it's going to be, of course, our tanks aren't going to be ready by the fall, but you're going to see about the F-16.
Ben, just put a pin in it for one second.
I finally got Posobiec up.
Jack, you warned people about this.
Weeks ago, in the first 24-48 hours of the much-heralded, long-awaited Spring Offensive, you said, hey, they're lying to you because this is really going on.
And now, as Ben brings up in today's Wall Street Journal, the commanders in the field are asking for a pause because they're getting chopped up.
Posobiec, give us more brilliant insight, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, at some point, you know, this operational pause, we really have to ask if they're willing to do that after this had been The most highly anticipated, highly publicized action by the Ukrainian military in this entire war, right? We were told for eight months that this was the counteroffensive that would spring through the Russian land bridge that would cleave it in half.
Steve, they told us, they were just saying a couple of weeks ago that they were going to take back Crimea.
That they were going to push them all the way out of Sevastopol.
They were going to go all the way down to Yalta.
Some of them were even saying, if you follow them online, that they were going to push all the way to Moscow.
Now they're calling it an operational...
And even, of course, the Wall Street Journal has to give it the most light touch as possible.
It's an operational pause.
And then they're also claiming that this wasn't the real counteroffensive.
These were just minor probes.
Look, Steve, this is an absolute disaster, and it's an absolute disaster.
That falls at the feet of Joseph R. Biden.
When President Zelensky drove past me in his motorcade in the streets of Rome a couple of weeks ago, when I was standing outside the Colosseum with my son, he was running around all the capitals of Western Europe saying, we need more money, we need more tanks, we need more bombs.
But the problem is, Steve, they're running out of soldiers.
The soldiers they have at this point are not the same seasoned, trained, veteran combat soldiers that they had at the beginning.
The Ukrainian army right now is smaller than it was at the beginning of the war.
Meanwhile, Russia has yet to even draw upon the vast reserves that they've begun mobilizing.
They've been mobilizing this entire time.
The fundamentals here are still not in their favor.
And this is why, over the weekend at the St.
Petersburg Forum, When the African nations arrived to Russia through the BRICS pact that we've been seeing going on, the South African delegation, that President Putin brought up this treaty and claimed, and we've heard this before from Naftali Bennett, and Putin shows the treaty in his hand.
He said, we wanted this done one month in, but who blew it up?
The West and particularly Boris Johnson, who looks like he's not only going to be out of a job, but out of an entire career within a couple of weeks.
He said, we signed this treaty, but before the ink was dry, the West completely reneged on it, and that is why They dug in and continued going, Steve, this could have been done one month in.
All of these people that have died, all of these families that are caught up in the middle, all of these lives did not have to be wasted.
And at the end of the day, that's Joe Biden.
When President Trump is on stage with him at the debate, he needs to look him directly in the eye and ask, why did you send all those people to their deaths?
And why did you send hundreds of billions of American dollars to support it?
steve bannon
Walk me through this treaty one month in, because we had talked about this at the time.
One month in, what was the basic overall architecture of an arrangement to make sure that the fighting would stop immediately, that Boris Johnson sprinted over there at the behest and in working partnership with the Biden regime to make sure it didn't go into operation?
unidentified
What's the overall framework?
jack posobiec
This was the deal in Istanbul.
This was, remember, one month in, and Erdogan's brokering the treaty, and you got the delegation from Minsk, got the delegation from Russia.
They're both down there. They're hammering out.
Look, the crux of it came down to NATO. It came down to saying Ukraine cannot be part of NATO. That's what the Russian side has been pushing all along.
They were going to say, we need protection from Donetsk.
We need protection from Lugansk, this Donbas region.
But there was even talk at that point, potentially, of setting up some kind of, maybe they could have been part of Ukraine, but some sort of, you know, semi-autonomous, with a little bit of independent control kind of state.
Now they're saying no.
Full annexation, full continuity with Russia.
Crimea, off the table, was always going to be off the table because of the Russian naval assets there.
That is the headquarters of their Black Sea Fleet, and it has been for hundreds of years.
So the idea was no NATO, neutral status, security guarantees from multilateral partners to include, wait for it, China, where Blinken is right now eating his own hat on the steps of the Forbidden Palace.
steve bannon
Give me that. Talk to me about the kowtow.
Is the way the CCP looks at America through the Biden regime's activities as a tributary state, sir?
jack posobiec
Steve, people need to understand that, as you always point out, this is all inextricably linked.
Do you think that Tony Blinken would be going over there, no fanfare, no delegation to meet him, then essentially apologizing to China on the steps of It's in the Forbidden City where he's meeting with Xi Jinping, going over there and not just saying we adhere to the one-child China policy.
That's been the long-standing U.S. policy.
He said, we do not support Taiwan independence.
They made him go even a step further while Xi Jinping is looking behind him, standing with his arms crossed, because this is how bad things have gone In Ukraine, with this counteroffensive, they realize that the United States is now in a position of absolute overextension, absolute weakness, and the CCP, with their alliance with Russia, the rise of the BRICS nations, they're now saying, look, we have you exactly where we want you.
You, with all the money that we bribed, because it wasn't just Ukraine, remember?
It was China that was bribing the Bidens as well.
With all the money that we put into this situation, and Tony Blinken was a huge part of this, one of the best buddies with Hunter Biden.
With all the money that we put in, with the geopolitical situation that you are now faced, you either give us the kowtow, or we are going to pull the plug on all of you.
And that's exactly what Tony Blinken's doing now.
steve bannon
Jack, you've been so far ahead of the story on every possible front, and particularly when you get down to the tactics and what's happening on the battlefield.
Where do people go? You got the Human Events Daily every day at 2, which is much watch.
How do people get to that, and how do they get to all your content?
jack posobiec
Look, we now have the populist nationalist bloc here at Real America's Voice.
And Steve, when I was out there in that crowd of thousands of Catholics, the abuelas with their rosaries, the rosary warrior abuelas, I actually had so many people coming up to me saying, Steve, we love watching Real America's Voice with the five-hour block now right in the middle of your day that goes War Room, Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec.
Boom. It's all together.
It's everything you need right there one day.
You get everything done.
steve bannon
Jack Posobiec, thanks for changing your schedule around to join us.
Very powerful. And your observations, you don't need to listen to anybody else on Ukraine than Jack Posobiec.
It's been quite amazing.
Thank you, sir. Honored to have you on here.
God bless. Thank you. You might remember we talked about Boris Johnson.
We talked about Turkey.
Who told us about that in the first couple of days of this war over a year ago?
Our own Ben Harnwell.
In Rome. We're going to go back.
We'll talk about Ben, also the St.
Petersburg Forum, the BRICS. It's all related to gold.
Okay, gold-backed currencies, gold-backed commodities, all of it.
Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now.
Go there, check it out.
Everything you need to know about the prime reserve currency.
unidentified
Short break. Harnwell next from Rome.
Host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, as the War Room Engine Room reminds me, Blinken just got that meeting 30 minutes before he was supposed to leave.
This is how brutal the kowtow was.
Unbelievable. And now, this is why Comer and others have to press now more than ever.
We've got to get to the bottom of the sources of the money.
I mean, we know the sources, but Comer and these guys in official capacity have got to press it.
And Lindsey Graham, and President Trump should have nothing to do with Lindsey Graham.
When you talk about some of the people around President Trump, they're still letting in people they should not let in.
Lindsey Graham's a good proxy for that.
Every time Lindsey Graham's near President Trump, it's a problem.
Not just his cheerleading with Ukraine, but now he's coming out, no, no.
Can't do this against the deep state.
Can't go after DOJ. Can't go after FBI. Oh, that's dangerous territory.
No, it's not. Not to do, that's dangerous territory.
Also, Mike Turner in the Hill newspaper, as shown on Fox this weekend, Mike Turner, Sequoia Capital, the one that shut down the investigation of Sequoia Capital because they're funneling money.
They funnel money. They're one of the leading funders of the Democratic Party, but they've thrown a chump change, a few chump change tokens to McCarthy and Scalise.
He shut the investigation down of Sequoia Capital, the front for the CCP's financing of their military technology.
He's on TV all weekend and says, these are very serious charges about President Trump.
No, they're not. That would be incorrect, sir.
So you have House Intel out there.
Turner's another guy. Massey.
These people are not part of this movement.
They do not support the most important elements of this.
They do not support it.
They are... Controlled opposition.
Turner, Massey, the whole crew of them.
Got to go.
If you're serious about saving your country, they got to go.
Harnwell, you told us in the first weeks of this war, back over a year ago, Turkey was going to be a player.
You told us about the meeting in Turkey, and you warned the world, as only an Englishman can, about Boris Johnson and what he was up to.
Ben Harnwell. Walk me through Johnson, what we know now of this deal that was agreed to, and where it's led us today is the world's media is trying to look at every excuse in the world To cover up the charnel house that is the spring offensive in Ukraine, sir? Well, the world's mainstream media, Steve, is absolutely expert in Pushing a particular line.
ben harnwell
And when contrary facts come along, whether it's about Erdogan successfully negotiating the principles of a ceasefire or whether it's about the vaccine, it doesn't matter what it is.
But the mainstream media will push a narrative, and when contrary facts come along, those get memory-holed straight away.
I'm not sure whether these revelations will make any difference to UK politics, sadly.
That's just the state of affairs, I think, in the UK. What does need to take place in the United Kingdom, politically speaking, is an absolute revolution, a political revolution.
It needs an economic nationalist, a populist nationalist revolution.
I think, personally, someone like Nigel Farage is the only person to do that.
Because the whole of the British establishment, I mean, it's not just Boris Johnson, Rishi.
I mean, there's no difference between Johnson, Rishi and Sunak.
That's just the state of affairs.
Something that will be interesting, however, in terms of the dynamic of British politics, is what will happen in the by-election.
I think on the 20th of July, there were two by-election set, one for Boris Johnson's seat of South Vaislip and then another for Nigel Adams's seat.
There was supposed to be a third by-election because of Nadine Doris, she's postponed her resignation from the House of Commons.
I think that's basically because she wants to see what's going to happen with the result of the first two by-elections, special elections, they call it, in the United States.
And then I think she will time it, you know, if Rishi Sunak does particularly badly on those two results, I think Nadine Doris will then announce her departure from the House of Commons in order to, almost like an exoset missile, to target Because Rishi Sunak is in particularly thin ground.
He has no popular mandate in the country.
Boris Johnson at least still has a degree of popular support.
And I think there's still a sense of injustice.
It's not as big as it was.
He did a lot of damage over his handling of Covid.
But I think if these by-elections go badly for Sunak on the 20th of July, Nadine Doris will then announce her departure and then have like three special elections which will cripple Sunak's authority and legitimacy as Prime Minister.
And then, and this is the talk, then Boris Johnson might turn around and triumphantly return to the House of Commons.
And I know on the war room there are different streams of thought when it comes to Boris Johnson.
I still remain particularly impressed by his election results at the last British election.
I think he did something. I think his charisma achieved something that no other British politician standing as a Conservative would be able to do.
steve bannon
That speaks more about the center-left nature of the Tories and the lack of charisma.
The charisma-challenged nature of the Tories than David Johnson.
He's caused, because folks, remember, he was over here in the U.S. a month or so ago, running around to Dallas and to Florida, met with President Trump, trying to gin up among the right, saying, you can't possibly stop these supplementals.
You can't possibly support the Ukraine war.
And people would talk to me.
Of course, I would prep him beforehand, but then after these meetings, which is just a cheerleader with no facts whatsoever.
Actually, the people that sat in these meetings, most of them came away thinking he was more of a buffoon than before they met him because he's just all over the place and thrown out, you know, we're fighting for freedom, we're fighting for democracy, we're fighting for all this and not having any earthy idea of what the reality of the real politic over there.
So talk to me about how This thing's collapsing before.
Look, you're right.
They're going to come up with another party line.
Oh, this is because we didn't give the S-16s.
But this debacle and what Mersheimer, Professor Mersheimer of the University of Chicago said it, the West is going to fight.
To the last Ukrainian is dead.
And that's where there's going in this fiasco around the spring offensive, which we told you was going to get here.
Now on the 19th of June in the year of our Lord, 2023, reality setting in, and they're rapidly thinking of what the alternative narrative is going to be, Ben Harnwell.
ben harnwell
Steve, well look, we were told that the counteroffensive, it's called a counteroffensive now.
I think the media, the mainstream media have memory hold the term spring offensive.
That's just been dropped from one day to the next.
It's now the counteroffensive.
The counteroffensive has gone so badly for the Ukrainians, and there's no real accounting of all the military equipment or cash that the West, specifically, of course, the United States, but not exclusively, has been giving to Kiev.
Some of that equipment is being sold.
On the secondary market to all sorts of ne'er-do-wells.
But not only is it required an accounting of what has been given to Kyiv, an accounting of its performance in the war, I think, is also to be expected on behalf of the taxpayers who've paid for this.
Steve, there is something that's interesting, and now I'm going to go to Denver, the first article that I had sent through this morning, which is the article in The Times with the headline, there it is, Putin rejects African peace plan for the Ukraine war.
This is, I think, reading between the lines an absolutely illustrative situation to give an indication of how the key players themselves are viewing the current state of the war.
So, as Jack was mentioning, there had been a delegation led by President Ramaphosa of South Africa to Moscow with a couple of other African heads of state.
On Friday, they'd been to Kiev to see Zelensky.
So it's the same diplomatic mission going to both capitals.
Zelensky just ruled out out of hand any ceasefire.
They reiterated their position of it was going to take back all of its lost territory and just flatly refused talks with Moscow.

Putin's view was more nuanced.
ben harnwell
The Kremlin had said that the proposal would be very difficult to implement, and the proposal was really based on negotiations and the diplomatic outreaches.
But because I think President Putin is naturally Building Alliance and other directions, as you mentioned before, about the BRICS with South Africa.
I think he was far more respectful in his treating of President Ramaphosa.
What I want to say, Steve, about this is because we were told that this string offensive, not counteroffensive, could potentially put an end to, in the words of the world's mainstream media, the Putin regime.
He doesn't look, Steve, to me, to be a guy desperately seeking an off-ramp.
And that, I think, ought to send...
It ought to encourage the morning meekers and all the other commentators to have a moment of introspection about where we are in this war and where we think it's going to go.
unidentified
Ha, ha, ha, ha! You do this just to trigger me.
steve bannon
Go ahead. Go ahead.
ben harnwell
Because it's not Putin who needs the off-ramp.
And it's not even Zelensky who needs the off-ramp either.
He's just simply doing exactly what Biden...
has encouraged him to do, which basically this war ends as far as Western support, unlimited support is concerned.
Zelensky's in this game until he doesn't want to be anymore.
So it's not Zelensky that's particularly need an off-ramp.
Steve, do you know who needs the off-ramp?
It's President Biden himself, because he's the person who is so emotionally and politically invested with his credibility and authority.
He's the person that is actually going to need more than Putin, more than Zelensky.
He's the person who needs diplomatic support.
It's a face-saving way to get out of this mess that he's created.
And that pressure that Biden is under, that the White House is under, is only going to grow, obviously, between now and the 2024 rematch.
steve bannon
You can't bifurcate.
You can't bifurcate.
And I think this is the reason Newsom and the wife are all over Fox News and all over media as they get ready to, I think, launch Because Biden don't think it's going to be the nominee.
And part of that's the intersection of, you know, follow the money.
Of all this money that came out of Ukraine and this maniacal support of this corrupt and, quite frankly, incompetent regime.
The Ukrainian regime that's over there that told the mainstream media and just led some of the best combat troops, some of the best remaining combat troops to their death.
Remember, it's the field commanders that are telling the Wall Street Journal they want a pause.
They need a pause. From the counteroffensive.
The massive string offensive that was going to change everything.
This is what Petraeus told us.
This is what Brent Stevens told us.
This is what Max Boot told us.
They're marching to Sevastopol.
They're marching to Yalta.
They're going to take back Crimea. All lies.
All bald-faced lies.
Ben, great work.
You've been right on this from the get-go.
How do people get to your content, sir?
ben harnwell
Thanks, Steve. I'm just going to close.
I have to read this line again from the Wall Street Journal.
Faced with setbacks in probing attacks, Ukrainian commanders over recent days have in many places paused advances to reassess tactics.
That is an explosive state of affairs and really the world's media Apart from the Wall Street Journal, it hasn't even touched it.
I'm on Harnwell, at Harnwell, on Getter.
That's my surname, Steve.
At Harnwell, on Getter.

back in the war room in just a moment From the beginning, but...
Questions swirl around President Biden's handling of classified documents.
nicole tsai
Found in President Biden's garage.
Multiple classified documents.
unidentified
You and the former president are both now under investigation by the Justice Department.
But they didn't indict Biden.
Instead, Biden's DOJ went after Trump.
Anything to block him from becoming president again.

Shutdown talk, headline Hill, Shutdown talk to dominate the summer.

Mike Lindell, thank you for joining us, brother.
Can you get us up to the Haldeman Report?
People's heads are still blowing up, and we're going to have more to talk about that in Georgia and other places of this explosive report that came out.
One of the reasons I wanted you to join us this morning is please tell us about, I want to make sure everybody gets on the calendar for what we're doing in August in Springfield, Missouri, sir.
mike lindell
Yeah, on August 16th and 17th, everybody, it's the Election Crime Bureau Summit.
This is going to be one of the most important events to ever watch.
We're revealing the plan going forward, and it's never been done before.
It's never even been talked about before.
You have my word on that.
And with all this stuff coming out about cyber attacks, what?
You're kidding me. Of course we've had cyberattacks and we had one, a huge one in the 2020 election and the 2022 election.
And so this is all going to be a great event where after all 50 states, Sarah, the first state, all 50 states are going to report their hope, the hope that they have in their state, that whether it be lawsuits or what they've done to get rid of the electronic voting machines, To go to paper ballots, hand counted, same day voting.
And then the next day, August 17th, we will be revealing the plan going forward that is going to fix our election platforms.
It's never been done before, Steve.
It is going to be amazing.
And the only way this doesn't work is if all you don't watch.
You have to watch this event and spread the word.
You can go to my Twitter account right now, my Getter account, my TrueSocial account, my FrankSpeech account.
You can go to all of them, and I have pinned this event on there, and you should share that everywhere.
unidentified
Everybody should do that now when you get up there.
steve bannon
Particularly with artificial, you know, there's articles over the weekend about artificial intelligence and the 2024 campaign, but they talk about deep fakes and, you know, commercials.
To me, that's the least of the worry.
My biggest worry is the combination of the machines with artificial intelligence and cyber attacks.
That's a lethal combination.
Is there enough time?
If you lay out the plan 17 August, Is there time to actually intercede here and make sure that this element can't be involved in the 2024 election?
I think that's going to be on top of mind.
How are you going to make people comfortable with that or convince people that this is doable, we can execute on this?
unidentified
Well, it's such a great plan.
mike lindell
I believe everyone, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent, it's not going to matter.
You're going to go, wow, why didn't we do this sooner?
And we're going to have many elections before that.
Down tickets, we have elections in Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi this fall.
So all this stuff is going to be used in all these elections well before the 2024 election.
And everyone's going to go, we should have done this a long time ago.
It's going to be amazing.
And we've been working on this for now about nine months, everybody.
And I don't see any holes in it, Steve.
I just see the only way it can feel is that people don't.
Watch and learn and get educated on this plan and then everybody be on board with it.
It doesn't matter what party you're in.
We need to trust our elections again.
We have to trust our elections and we have to fix our election platforms.
Get rid of these electronic voting machines once and for all.
