Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on 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? | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| In five days to reach an agreement to avert a government shutdown. | ||
| House Speaker Kevin McCarthy still faces an uphill battle as hard-right conservatives in his party are looking to use the shutdown as leverage for spending cuts. | ||
| Meanwhile, the Senate will begin moving ahead with its own short-term solution. | ||
| Let's bring in NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitale. | ||
| Ali, what's the latest you're hearing on the negotiations so far? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no better news than what I brought to you yesterday, Mika. | |
| The idea that lawmakers, even though they worked over the weekend on the House side, don't seem any closer to a true consensus. | ||
| We did hear from Speaker McCarthy yesterday, though, who continued to sound notes of optimism. | ||
| I think what's going to be fascinating this week, though, is yes, watching the ways that McCarthy still tries to herd the cats within his conference, but also seeing the ways that they end up interacting with this Senate plan that Schumer and other key leaders are still trying to cobble together. | ||
| I was told that staff on the Senate side are still working through the night to try to come to what this agreement could look like. | ||
| And again, we're talking about a continuing resolution here, something that would just keep the lights on for an extra 30 or maybe 45 days to buy these folks some time to actually do these appropriations bills. | ||
| They are not fast processes here. | ||
| That's why they're in the time buying business. | ||
| But if McCarthy were to take this lifeline that the Senate could extend to him, yes, it would help on the government funding front, but no, it would not help him in terms of actually keeping his job. | ||
| Because just the very word, continuing resolution, or a CR as we shorthand it on the Hill, is something that could have several of his members including Matt Gaetz, trigger a motion to vacate, fire him from his job, and then you're back in a chaos standpoint. | ||
| I think that's the thing that I'm generally keeping in mind here is that the shutdown is one piece of this, but the back half of it is the open question of if McCarthy will keep his job. | ||
| And look, Lamar asked a good question this morning on Way Too Early. | ||
| If not McCarthy, then who? | ||
| I'll tell you what I told him, which is I have no idea, but the chaos for some of these conservative members is truly the point, and that's chaos certainly in the house. | ||
| May be finding themselves in a similar situation to the situation that I found myself in or just that they want to make that break. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| You know, we can't, and what I think is, in my opinion, and what I think is damaging in ways is I isolating the people that come out and then questioning why they did. It is hard to come out. | ||
| It was hard to find my way out because of what we said. I had financial limitations and I did have other counsel, but it was also hard coming out on the outside because I didn't know if I'd be welcomed by people. So I think that if we can create and foster an environment where people feel that they're welcomed and that there is a life on the other side, which is one of the more eye opening parts of this experience for me too, is that there are good people in this world that | ||
| want to help and that are there and that have similar interests that we do. | ||
| We all want the Republic to survive. | ||
| We all should want the Republic to survive. | ||
| Pearls of wisdom from Cassidy Hutchinson. | ||
| currently is going, I'm not confident that he will have it survive. | ||
| And I would just encourage them to think about that. | ||

|
Pearls of wisdom from Cassidy Hutchinson. | |
| It's Tuesday, 26 September in the year of our Lord 2023. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What a better way to start the war room. | |
| You got Morning Mika, Rachel Maddow, Cassidy Hutchinson. | ||
| That's kind of the three horsemen of the apocalypse, right? | ||
| The Morning Mika clip, her introductory clip there for the first, I don't know, 20 or 30 seconds, kind of sums it up. | ||
| I want to play that again. | ||
| This is going to be our mantra for today, because even Morning Mika gets it. | ||
| Let's go and play that again. | ||
| Okay, it's not totally correct. | ||
| We weren't looking for 30 September as to force the spending cuts. | ||
| These are supposed to be done months ago. | ||
| still faces an uphill battle as hard right conservatives in his party are looking to use the shutdown as leverage for spending. | ||
| Okay, it's not totally correct. We weren't looking for 30 September as to force the spending cuts. These are supposed to be done months ago. I want everybody remember in the fog of war. It's very important. | ||
| The side that wins is going to have complete clarity on what our task and purpose and what our mission is. | ||
| The mission just to go back, you know, and Cassidy Hutchison there about to, you know, cry great big crocodile tears with Rachel Maddow. | ||
| You know, she's she wanted to know if there are people that would welcome her on the other side. | ||
| I think the big massive book contract she got For that book that I would politely say may have, I don't know if it's fantasy fiction, fan fiction, I don't know what it is. | ||
| But I think some folks are going to, in court, go through some of the things she's saying and make sure that she really has to back up what she's been saying. | ||
| But let's continue. | ||
| To save the Republic, Ms. | ||
| Hutchinson, One must make sure that we don't fall into a financial abyss. | ||
| And right now, they're throwing out shiny toys all over. | ||
| You know, you got the Menendez situation this morning, Semaphore. | ||
| And I'll talk a little bit about this with Cash and Rahim. | ||
| They're both going to come on. | ||
| Actually, a blockbuster about the Obama and Biden regimes in Iran. | ||
| And agents actually I guess from the Iranian government working looks like in the U.S. | ||
| government around the U.S. | ||
| government as advisors another blockbuster and on the eve of tomorrow I think tomorrow's the first of the impeachment hearings it's going to start and be loaded as John Solomon has up on just the news site it's going to be loaded with kind of the Ukraine situation Natalie Winters will be covering that for us. | ||
| As we get into that and also as we hang on the precipice of financial ruin, no one wants to talk about the main thing. | ||
| And the main thing is that if we do not, if we do not get absolute control of the finances here and do it now, and we were supposed to do with the appropriations process, There's not going to be any country to save. | ||
| You have a massive invasion on the southern border. | ||
| More of that's going in non-stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eagle Pass, Texas, all of it. | |
| So you've got that going on. | ||
| You have this debacle in Ukraine. | ||
| You should know all these games are being played right now. | ||
| And there are a million different ways they're trying to end run us. | ||
| And when I say, and run us, I mean this audience. | ||
| You've had the back of these patriots that are actually standing up on this fiasco of the financing. | ||
| 202-225-3121. | ||
| Whether it's Garrett Graves, the architect of this disastrous debt deal. | ||
| You notice how they never go back. | ||
| You notice how McCarthy and Graves and these people never go back and embrace what they did. | ||
| They never go back to the bill that was passed on the debt deal for two years. | ||
| They never talk about that. | ||
| They don't want to own that. | ||
| Remember all the lies you guys were going to be permitting and all these cost savings and all that? | ||
| Where's that? | ||
| Where's all that? | ||
| Where's any of that? | ||
| Have you seen any of that? | ||
| You heard any of that? | ||
| That was all a pitch. | ||
| Nothing actually happened. | ||
| It was just a pitch. | ||
| The country's on the precipice of financial catastrophe. | ||
| Ten trillion dollars in the next twelve months. | ||
| E.J. | ||
| and Tony's heard yesterday. | ||
| Two trillion Has to be initially financed for the deficit. | ||
| You have another 8 trillion that's coming up is rolling over of all debt we had at lower interest rates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
E.J. | |
| Antony is projecting that the interest rate is going to be close to a trillion dollars more than the defense bill. | ||
| You add Social Security, Medicare, defense, and interest, you're getting pretty close to the total cash that comes in. | ||
| That leaves Medicaid and all the other discretionary programs outside the box. | ||
| And people talk about, oh, we've got to get into, you know, Judas Pence and Christie, or sit there, oh, we've got to get into Social Security and Medicare. | ||
| Well, let's do the following. | ||
| Before the American people are going to be comfortable with that, I think we've got to show that we can manage the House on the discretionary spending side. | ||
| And right now, you could say that you've got to have massive cuts to defense and massive cuts to discretionary spending. | ||
| You can't have a 10-year plan on balance. | ||
| It can't be 10 years. | ||
| It's got to be up. | ||
| It's got to be 3 to 5 years, max. | ||
| Because if you don't have that, you're going to be at $45 or $50 trillion quickly. | ||
| And then just the law of large numbers, the interest expense on that, is going to suck up everything. | ||
| So you're going to have to have a fundamental restructuring of the American economy. | ||
| Biden said this yesterday in pitching Bidenomics. | ||
| Biden actually said that we had to come in here and what we had to do, we had to restructure the American economy. | ||
| And he said, I did that. | ||
| I vaccinated the country and I saved the economy. | ||
| That's his two pitches. | ||
| And this radical energy plan that he's got, one of the There's an analyst out today saying that he thinks oil could go to $150 a barrel because of the radical nature. | ||
| This is because of lack of production here in the United States because of regulations put on by the Biden administration. | ||
| It all comes down to this fight this week. | ||
| And look, the impeachment. | ||
| First off, these hearings should have happened nine months ago. | ||
| And I hope Comer and these guys and Jordan, I hope they are prepared. | ||
| Because the Democrats are going to come loaded for bear. | ||
| The Republicans, to me, until Elise Stefanik got involved in the first impeachment, were not exactly... And you saw a lot of these same people. | ||
| They're not articulate. | ||
| They can't think in the moment. | ||
| They can't pull things back and set frameworks for the American people to understand. | ||
| The lawyers on the Democratic side are going to be coming in loaded for bear tomorrow, so I hope they're prepared to hit it, hit it hard, and have muscle velocity. | ||
| But that, even right now, is a shiny toy. | ||
| Because they're trying to say, oh, oh, oh, well, you can't shut that down. | ||
| We need to keep the government... The issue before us is not midnight on the 30th of September. | ||
| We've known that's been coming since this Congress got in place in January. | ||
| And we set the rules because of the heroes and patriots that sat up and fought it. | ||
| We knew this was coming. | ||
| McCarthy specifically knew this was coming. | ||
| Remember, the reason we're here is that after he made, after he and Graves and McHenry made this terrible deal and gave Biden everything, they then tried to go back in a mini retrade because Massey and others were sitting there going, oh, the appropriations process will do it. | ||
| And he tried to change a little bit the top line number as another shiny toy to put out there and say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We'll get to those cuts in the appropriations process. | ||
| Remember this? | ||
| The appropriations process, they didn't do any work. | ||
| I mean, the appropriators tried to, but McCarthy, I think, from mid-June on, there was only 15 days until people got back. | ||
| Only 15 days of work before people got back. | ||
| And then they took the extraordinary, unheard of six weeks August break. | ||
| They did that on purpose. | ||
| Why? | ||
| They didn't want to get into the appropriations process in detail. | ||
| Because they understand they weren't prepared to deliver the cuts. | ||
| Because the lobbyists don't want them to deliver the cuts. | ||
| The reason this is the imperial city, the reason the counties in Maryland and Virginia that surround it are, you know, what is it, five of the top seven? | ||
| Counties, wealthiest counties in the country are here. | ||
| How can that possibly be? | ||
| How can you possibly, how can you possibly have that type of wealth? | ||
| Because it's like having a private equity fund that reloads every year with seven trillion dollars. | ||
| And even if you take out what has to go to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, it's a couple of trillion dollars. | ||
| Trillion flowing through here and they get to allocate it. | ||
| This is how the imperial city, this is why it's like Paris. | ||
| You've got the boutiques, you've got the restaurant. | ||
| Remember, you've got the Lamborghini dealer, I think it's out in Northern Virginia. | ||
| They sell more, but they're not the most profitable. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they don't need to finance. | ||
| People walk in with cash money and buy them. | ||
| Or maybe it's a Ferrari dealer. | ||
| The one in L.A., I think, is bigger in Miami because people need financing there. | ||
| They've got to finance it. | ||
| Not in Washington, D.C. | ||
| They walk in with cash on the money. | ||
| Cash on the barrel. | ||
| This fight, and now you're going to have a direction coming from the collaborationists in the Senate. | ||
| Remember those collaborationists gave us all the Biden spending. | ||
| He couldn't have gotten across without them. | ||
| The collaborationists are coming. | ||
| You've got Don Bacon coming in a different direction. | ||
| They want a CR that lasts until January. | ||
| The fight to save the country's finances, which is a proxy on saving the Republic, is happening right now. | ||
| And those heroes, the Gateses and the Rosendales and the Bishops and all of them, are all in the crosshairs as this fight continues. | ||
| What's happening behind the scenes, which we'll explain to you as the morning progresses, is quite intense. | ||
| I'm not back in the imperial capital for my health, trust me. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We've got a lot going on this morning. | ||
| You're in the driver's seat, 202-225-3121, emblazing that with your number two pretzel in your notebook. | ||
| Short break, back to the worm in a moment. | ||

|
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCD! | |
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| I want to show you, it's as I told you, it's going to get quite nasty behind the scenes, it's even nastier. | ||
| This is, Matt Gaetz is obviously the leader of this resistance, and kind of the architect, and his, as articulate and smart a thinker as he is, particularly on his feet, they need to chop like that. | ||
| So they started this last night. | ||
| Rahim's got this extraordinary interview with the President, but I've asked Rahim to join me. | ||
| Let me play this clip from Rachel Maddow last night, and then we'll tell you exactly why this happened. | ||
| Go ahead and play it. | ||
| There's also a couple of instances involving Congressman Matt Gaetz. | ||
| I will omit most of the context here, but I'll tell you the lines that have kept me up and uncomfortable. | ||
| He chuckled and brushed his thumb across my chin. | ||
| Has anyone ever told you you're a national treasure? | ||
| You describe a night at Camp David. | ||
| Um, when he was leaning against the door frame while, um, somebody answered the door to another cabin. | ||
| Matt straightened his posture when Kevin McCarthy asked him what he wanted. | ||
| He explained he had seen my golf cart parked outside and thought this was my cabin. | ||
| Embarrassed, I got up and asked Mr. Gates what he needed. | ||
| He explained that he was lost and asked me to escort him to his cabin. | ||
| I told him to proceed around the circle drive. | ||
| All the cabins are clearly marked. | ||
| It's impossible to get lost. | ||
| He asked me one more time to leave with him. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy then said, quote, get a life, Matt, and shut the door. | ||
| Now, Mr. Gates, we asked him for comment on these allegations tonight. | ||
| He told us, I don't remember either of these events. | ||
| And based on Cassidy's prior false statements, I doubt they occurred. | ||
| I did date Cassidy for a few weeks. | ||
| When we were both single years ago, we parted amicably and remained friends thereafter, even during President Trump's post-presidency. | ||
| And then he goes on to make other unrelated claims. | ||
| I'm sorry to ask you if you want to respond to that, but I'm going to ask you if you want to respond. | ||
| I would love to respond to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for giving me the option. | |
| I will give Matt credit in part of his statement that we did have an amicable working relationship and we were good friends at points. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, in my opinion, is somebody that I personally do not hold in high regards in terms of trust. | ||
| And I do not think that Matt Gaetz has the best track record for relationships. | ||
| And condoning his relationships, how he thinks that they might be defined, I will say on behalf of myself, I never dated Matt Gaetz. | ||
| I have much higher standards in men. | ||
| I will say on behalf of myself, I'm kind of gobsmacked here, dating Cassidy Hutchinson, but Congressman Gates. | ||
| I love that line, maybe the best line of the year. | ||
| You're a national treasure. | ||
| I don't think, Cassidy, you're going to have to have some backup for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to have to have some backup for that. | |
| But here's what's going on. | ||
| No need to try to be funny about this because it's quite serious. | ||
| This is all, there are no coincidences in this town. | ||
| This is all dropped right now because Matt Gaetz is the leader of this trying to save the country by going through an appropriations process where you actually start to have massive cuts, as Morning Mika tells you. | ||
| And what they want today, they don't want Matt Gaetz going to these gaggles and being able to talk about the business of the nation. | ||
| In the gaggle, all the questions are going to be for the next three or four days about Cassidy Hutchinson. | ||
| Raheem Kassam. | ||
| This is their old playbook, right? | ||
| This is the big diversion. | ||
| Let's throw out a couple of what he put his thumb across her chin and called our national treasure. | ||
| This is now going to absorb the name. | ||
| this is called the shanty by the way this is a shiny toy this is but just hold it Rahim You are a national treasure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fortunately, it's in England. | |
| That's the difference. | ||
| Talk to people about an information war. | ||
| What have we just seen here? | ||
| The shot across the bow last night. | ||
| Well, there's two things that stuck out to me about that, and by the way, I love the line, I will say on behalf of myself. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Because we were under the assumption you were talking on behalf of somebody else in this scenario. | ||
| I mean, this is the kind of like, you know, word salad gibberish you expect from... The faux gravitas, I want to say on behalf of myself. | ||
| On behalf of me, Christopher Newport, Christopher Newport Community College's greatest graduate, Cassidy Hutchinson, continue on. | ||
| They're not sending their best. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But you look at this and you think, okay, two things here. | |
| Number one, Matt Gaetz has been through this before, been through way worse than this before, which is certainly a reason why, you know, on the back of everything that's going on on Capitol Hill right now, they will throw anything they can get here. | ||
| The second part of it that really stands out to me is, you know, this lady is now saying that effectively, everybody that she worked with has taken a run at her at some point, that she never wanted to talk about it previously, that it, you know, it's only, you know, on the back of the book coming out and back in the fight on Capitol Hill, that she suddenly wants to go on MSNBC and talk about these things. | ||
| And the story itself lacks any level of, you know, seriousness because she's there, you know, grinning from ear to ear, you know, table from Rachel Maddow going, well, I will say on behalf of myself, uh, you know, that I, I could never have possibly thought of even being near anybody like that when obviously she was working in close proximity to, and had relationships and friendships with all of these people for several years. So it lacks the credibility. It's, it's like you say, right? It's, it's done. | ||
| Watch the gaggles today. | ||
| It's dropped at this time, but it's one of those like weak Hail Mary type things. | ||
| I'm not a big American football guy, but I did catch the end of the Jets game this weekend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It seems like one of those situations to me. | |
| Yeah, no, it's and you watch the gaggles today when Matt Gaetz goes out, all the questions will be about dating about the national treasure that is Cassidy Hutchinson. | ||
| Rahim, let's go ahead and play. | ||
| I want to play the clip. | ||
| This interview is the best thing I've seen and it's incredible. | ||
| Let's go and play the clip and we'll bring Rahim back in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have a president, sadly, where the borders are the worst they've ever been in history. | |
| People can't even believe it. | ||
| You know, when people from other places, other parts of the world, and even from our part of the world, When they look at this, including Democrats by the way, they cannot believe that millions of people are pouring through our borders and we have no idea who they are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have no idea. | |
| And we're going to have to be living with this for a while, but we're going to do something in terms of deportation. | ||
| That's going to be a miracle. | ||
| We're going to clean up our country. | ||
| Our country is a mess. | ||
| Our country is going down. | ||
| And if we don't win this election, Rahim, I will tell you, if this election is not won by us, I don't think our country makes it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think our country is going to be a tremendous failure. | |
| Rahim, the whole thing is quite powerful. | ||
| Tell me, walk me through how this gets set up. | ||
| You really cleaned yourself up, too, by the way. | ||
| I'm very impressed. | ||
| National polls represented well. | ||
| You're a natural. | ||
| I got your hair stylist in to sort me out. | ||
| They, um, you know, they reached out to us and we've been doing the campaign trail podcast and a lot of reporting on the campaign trail from all angles over the past couple of months. | ||
| And obviously you get an opportunity like that down at Mar-a-Lago, amazing, amazing surroundings, amazing history there. | ||
| And you want to do it right. | ||
| You want to do it proper. | ||
| And this is my opportunity, by the way, to thank the entire team. | ||
| It's a, it's a big team that we, you know, flew in there, got all the production correct, you know, to, to allow me to focus on the important stuff, which is, which is interviewing effectively what I said to him, I said, the most famous man in the world, and not just now, not just right now, but you look at the column inches, the, the, the book sales, the television time, all of this over the last couple of decades of, of president Donald J. | ||
| Trump's life. | ||
| And there can be no doubt, you know, besides the only other person that he mentions in that interview, that this, you are sitting opposite an historic figure, whether you love him, whether you hate him, and you have to take that deadly seriously. | ||
| I think there is so much malfeasance in the media at the moment because I watch, obviously I watch almost every single interview and speech that the man gives. | ||
| And you look at Meet the Press as an example, and Meet the Press goes into that interview with the sole objective of debating him for their audience and on behalf of their audience and certainly on behalf of their corporate board. | ||
| What we went in there with was a very keen idea of what we really wanted to get out here, which is who is this man, what makes him tick, how is his mind operating at the moment, what are the key things at top of mind for him on a day-to-day basis. | ||
| And those are the things that you'll see will carry this campaign through. | ||
| Those are the things that have got him, you know, not just dominating the field on the Republican side, but increasing his lead over the course of the summer, increasing his lead when everybody is spending hundreds of millions of dollars against him. | ||
| Those are the things you look for. | ||
| Rahim, what I found extraordinary, for someone that's had | ||
| been so well known to the public for someone's had so many colleges and obviously is the most well-known person in the world today in the modern world I would posit people really don't know this man that's what I find interesting about you you ask some questions from really questions I've never heard the president really respond to because I don't think everybody's ever asked him give me a minute on that before we go to break you you really did the this is not the typical | ||
| And I think we see it from that first clip, even about the deportation. | ||
| This is not an interview like we've seen before. | ||
| Yeah, and I think he was willing to open up a little bit here because he knew he wasn't in a gotcha situation. | ||
| So I was really able to kind of talk to him about his time living in a studio apartment in Lenox Hill in Manhattan, talk to him about who in his life he misses the most, he talked about his brothers, talk about what kind of spurs him on, and these personal questions. | ||
| And I said to him, I said, I'm sick of having your opponents writing your autobiography for you in real time. | ||
| I said to him, are you going to do this for yourself at some point? | ||
| You're going to have to watch the full interview, which is out today for National Pulse members, to find out his answers to that. | ||
| It's the nationalpulse.com forward slash war room, early access for Pulse members. | ||
| It'll be out tomorrow for the general public. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to take a short break. | ||
| I want to come back. | ||
| I've got some more questions and another clip from this extraordinary interview. | ||
| Raheem Kassam. | ||
| The founder and publisher, editor-in-chief over at National Pulse, a major interview with President Trump down in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| We've also got Kash Patel. | ||
| We're going to drill down more on the games that are going to be played today over the next couple of days. | ||
| McCarthy speakership hangs in the balance as both the Senate and then Don Bacon and the problem solvers both make a run at the Patriots today in the nation's capital. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
till they're all gone. We rejoice when there is no more. | |
| Let's take down the CCP. | ||
| Mr President, thank you so much for joining us here on the National Pulse. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Can I ask you about Mike Pence? | ||
| He's being a bit of a d**k about you at the moment. | ||
| Just sanctimonious. | ||
| When you first used it, a lot of people kind of didn't get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They love it now. | |
| People don't care whether or not he was loyal to you. | ||
| I said, I think it does matter. | ||
| I think most of the media is quite hostile towards you. | ||
| The globalists, who knows why? | ||
| They put everything against De Sanctimonious, and he's not a talented person. | ||
| Our country's going down, and if we don't win this election, if this election's not won by us, I don't think our country makes it. | ||
| Who do you miss the most? | ||
|
unidentified
|
My other brother, Robert. | |
| I was very close to passing away two years ago. | ||
| He was so proud of the fact that I became president. | ||
| Do you look in the mirror and see, you know, the most famous man in the world, or have you just always been the same guy? | ||
| I'm not the most famous person in the world. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Rahim, extraordinary interview. | ||
| And I think what, and I think the reason this audience will be so enthusiastic about it, about watching this, is not just the interview with Trump, but your growth. | ||
| If you think about all the major media personalities that have interviewed President Trump, Over the last, you know, 10 years. | ||
| This is one of the most extraordinary interviews. | ||
| And I think you're right. | ||
| You had a foundation of trust to ask tough questions, important questions, questions that we want the answers for, like the deportation and others. | ||
| But he realized you weren't, as he says, trying to play games. | ||
| And the responses you got are extraordinary, and I think this will make a lot of news, and I want to make sure everybody in the audience gets access to it. | ||
| So how do we do that? | ||
| How does this audience see it? | ||
| Yeah, thanks, Steve. | ||
| I really think that's, you know, critical part of it here is, you know, going into these sorts of situations with good faith. | ||
| I'd like to do it with a lot of the other candidates. | ||
| I'd like to do it with a lot of other public figures as well. | ||
| I think there's such a lack of You know, honest and good faith interviewing out there at the moment that I think you don't have to go into a situation, you know, with your chest puffed out trying to be the big to do, you know, and I know this will sound strange to you, but often let your interviewees speak. | ||
| That's something that I think a lot of like Kristen Welker, I think probably racked up more time speaking than her interview subject in that in that meet the press. | ||
| So the audience can go to thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| Right after this show we're going to put the full interview up so people can start I'm watching it from noon today. | ||
| That's TheNationalPulse.com forward slash War Room. | ||
| You get your first month for free to be a National Pulse member, so it's not going to cost you anything to go over there. | ||
| But the other thing I'll say is that these things, as you probably know, Steve, they're not cheap. | ||
| I mean, if you're CNN or you're NBC or you're some big billion dollar corporate giant, yeah, sure, like $10,000, $15,000 to fly crew and equipment and time and all of that down there. | ||
| You know, that's not a lot of money. | ||
| It doesn't even register on the books. | ||
| For a small startup, you know, a real news organization like us, whether we're trying to actually change the way people consume the news, trying to respect people in the way that we present the news via the app, you know, on the website, how quick and punchy things are, but how we allow people, you know, we send them to the sources if they want further information. | ||
| All of those things That's a lot. | ||
| I mean, it's a lot of resources for us. | ||
| We took our entire team down there to make sure that went off without a hitch. | ||
| So if people do want to sign up, they do want to support, we really, really appreciate it. | ||
| Yet we have no corporate backing. | ||
| We have no advertising partners. | ||
| There's no point being in Hawk. | ||
| to corporate advertising partners and these ad networks, because they'll chuck you off as soon as you do an interview with somebody like President Trump. | ||
| So once again, the URL, the website, is thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| I think when you see this interview with what I refer to as the American Cincinnati, the modern Cincinnati, the only other person in our history who's been called that is General Washington, is you'll understand, I think, after seeing Rahim's interview, that uh... | ||
| why he's up by ten points And I've seen internal polling shows him up more by that, more than that. | ||
| If you look at the crosstabs, it's even more impressive. | ||
| I think people understand it and why he's, why his message is now getting out and reaching out beyond the MAGA movement, beyond Republicans. | ||
| Rahim, one thing there, and by the way, the reason that If your person in the interview has given you great answers, you let them roll like President Trump. | ||
| If they're not, then sometimes you have to have an intervention. | ||
| Just saying! | ||
| Just saying! | ||
| Hold it! | ||
|

|
You said something there, you don't bury the lead. | |
| The Keebler elves are now officially the seven dwarves. | ||
| Why would you have any interest? | ||
| Tell me anybody on that stage of interest for you to interview. | ||
| Or did I misinterpret that? | ||
| Do you want to interview Newsom and Whitmer and Big Mike and the others that are actually going to be the opposing candidates for Bobby Kennedy? | ||
| It can't be the seven dwarves. | ||
| Well, no, I think sociopathy is as interesting as success. | ||
| So I'd love to sit in front of Chris Christie and find out, you know, what the heck would compel somebody like that to throw their hat in the ring and behave the way they're behaving in public and, you know, just debasing themselves effectively. | ||
| But you can do it in a way that doesn't necessarily have to be combative or churlish or anything like that. | ||
| It's just like, hey, you know, allow us to understand a little bit your mentality here. | ||
| Allow us to A little insight into your decision-making processes here, because, you know, as much as you can learn from those who succeed, you can learn from those who failed as well, and there's no harm in that whatsoever. | ||
| I hope at one point the DeSantis team allows me the access to go in there and say, you know, and ask the man the questions, like, are you sure that you made the right decision in having Adam Laxall give you Jeff Rowe to run your campaign? | ||
| If he's being honest, he's going to say that was the, you know, that was the start of the decline. | ||
| So no, I think I would do it. | ||
| Good luck with that. | ||
| Good luck on that mission. | ||
| Before I let you go, Semaphore has a, what would, in normal times, be a blockbuster story. | ||
| And I'm going to ask Cash the same question. | ||
| To tell people what the investigative reports over Semaphore have found out, and is this just a misdirection? | ||
| Is this like Menendez 2? | ||
| These are misdirection plays right now on the eve of the first hearing on the Biden impeachment? | ||
| No, I actually don't believe so. | ||
| Just before I get to the answer on that, I do want to stress something else just about that interview very quickly with President Trump. | ||
| I have never, ever met somebody so kind and generous in my life, and I don't mean towards me. | ||
| I mean, in advance of the interview, he comes in, he asks everybody if they need anything, he's extremely humble. | ||
| At the end of the interview, he's got another one that he has to do immediately after, but he wants to make sure everybody in the room who wants Pictures, who wants a handshake, who wants time that he gives it to them. | ||
| And it was just extraordinary to watch in person. | ||
| He was so interested with asking us how the national pulse is going, you know, what they can do to help, you know, all of these things, um, that, that just stunned me. | ||
| So I really want, you know, the audience to understand that. | ||
| Yeah, of course, sometimes, uh, the man's up on stage and he has to be a little bit brash and he has to be the showman. | ||
| Um, but behind all of that is, is a, is a genuinely, genuinely caring and kind person and I sort of knew that before but this was this was something that stunned me. And the semaphore stuff I got to tell you I don't think this is a misdirection play. | ||
| There has been a lot of investigation into Rob Malley for a while now. | ||
| This is one of Obama and Biden's chief Iran nuclear deal negotiators, and the Semaphore story effectively alleges that this man had Iranian assets, Iranian government assets working for him, received clearance at the U.S. State Department. | ||
| And so there are huge questions coming off the back of this extraordinary reporting, to be honest with you. | ||
| I mean, I'm not a huge fan of D.C. media outlets, but they've done a fantastic job reporting this out. | ||
| This is one of the stories that Congress needs to wrap its head around quickly. | ||
| Haul those people in front of committees, in front of public hearings, and say, listen, you are an Iranian spy. | ||
| What the heck are you doing at the heart of our government formulating national security policy? | ||
| And who put you there? | ||
| The answer to that question, by the way, is Obama's chief guy on Iran, Rob Malley, who was just suspended, by the way, from the Biden State Department. | ||
| So there's a lot to suck on there if you're Joe Biden right now. | ||
| Didn't he just, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he just have his security clearance pulled? | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| rejected. That's exactly right. Did I read that correctly? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly right. This is a huge story. | |
| Okay Rahim, one more time. This extraordinary interview, I think the finest interview I've ever seen with Donald J. Trump. How do people get to it? | ||
| TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room As soon as this show is done at noon Eastern time, we'll put that up for members of The National Pulse to view. | ||
| TheNationalPulse.com forward slash War Room. | ||
| And we're entirely grateful and grateful to you, Steve, for the time today. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| This has been so professional, how you've done this. | ||
| I know that Alexander Priet, somehow I see the fingerprints all over this, but thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| Raheem, we look forward to seeing the full interview. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Steve. | |
| Cheers. | ||
| Cash Patel. | ||
| Cash, your whole book, your thesis, in fact, the driving aspect of your life is about what this semaphore story is about. | ||
| Just tell me for a second how big a deal it is to find out that people in the Biden State Department, Obama State Department, with the highest security clearances, negotiating a deal that's absolutely central for peace in the world and for the current geopolitics. | ||
| That they have Iranian intelligence assets on their staff and they just have their security clearance revoked? | ||
| How big a deal is that? | ||
| Well, Steve, it's no coincidence. | ||
| Remember, Jake Sullivan, the architect of the JCPOA, is Biden's national security advisor. | ||
| Jake Sullivan along with O'Malley are the ones that constructed a pathway to friendship to the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. | ||
| And Jake Sullivan is the individual that just gave Tehran six billion dollars and six Iranian terrorist criminals over there. | ||
| And this is not a coincidence. | ||
| They are doing this in a calculated fashion. | ||
| So this reporting does not surprise me. | ||
| What surprises me is how little the press is covering this and how much we don't yet know of what they've already given the ayatollahs and mullahs in Iran. | ||
| Because what they've publicly said is just a piece of it. | ||
| We've seen the UN nuclear weapons inspectors already be removed after we gave Iran $6 billion. | ||
| So there's no more cops of any kind over there looking at the nuclear arsenal which Iran is building to fuel nuclear weaponry against the United States of America. | ||
| And I can't believe this isn't headline news, but I guess I can because they're more worried. | ||
|

|
But hold it, but hold it, but, but, but, but, yo, yo, Cash, yo, yo, yo. | |
| If you were the General Counsel over at House Intel, and Devin Nunes was over there, and Derek Harvey were over there, you guys would be up the mic this morning. | ||
| You would force it to be national news. | ||
| Where's Turner and the House Intel? | ||
| This thing's explosive. | ||
| Why is House Intel out right now saying, hey, we're going to have hearings tomorrow, we're going to have a classified hearing in the morning and we're gonna have public hearings on Thursday and Friday. | ||
| You, Derrick, Colonel Harvey and Nunez would have forced the issue. | ||
| Where's Mike Turner and House Intel? | ||
| Well, I think we're a different breed of cat and you're the economic wizard on this one. | ||
| And you know that this Congress and this Republican majority has difficulty doing multiple things at any given time. | ||
| And I like a lot of the guys over there. | ||
| They just don't have the ability to do multiple lines of effort right now. | ||
| It's all CR, CR, CR, and possibly the opening stages of a Biden impeachment inquiry, which they might get to in a year. | ||
| So adding this third but pivotal key piece of oversight to their bailiwick is it's just not realistic. | ||
| But I mean, this is, I'm gonna hold you through the break. | ||
| I got about a minute. | ||
| This goes all the way up to Jake Sullivan. | ||
| I mean, this goes into the, this not goes in the West Wing, this goes to the center beating heart of the National Security, National Security Advisor, National Security Council of our nation, sir. | ||
| Yeah, Jake Sullivan is the quarterback of the JCPOA. | ||
| Jake Sullivan is the guy that, remember, instigated Russiagate for Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Jake Sullivan is the guy that went to the media and said Donald Trump's a Russian asset. | ||
| Jake Sullivan has been putting out disinformation and getting in bed with Iran and courting the United States's uh... democratic radical left to get over there with the ayatollahs and somehow make peace because wait for it there's money in it for all of them that's why they're out there and i think that's where all roads are gonna lead is to the bank the bank accounts of these individuals but you're right we've got nobody doing any oversight work nobody is issuing subpoenas so we're probably never gonna find out they're gonna get rich | ||
| and the state sponsor of terror iran is gonna get boogied where's the team of nunez Colonel Harvey and Kash Patel when the nation desperately needs them. | ||
| Kash, hang on for a second. | ||
| We're gonna get into government gangsters like Jake Sullivan in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We will fight till they're all gone. | |
| We rejoice when there is no more. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP! | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Cash, what can we expect on Thursday in... | ||
| And I hope they're firing on the football because the Democrat Goldman and these guys, Jamie Raskin and Goldman, are going to be coming in hot. | ||
| Your book, Government Gangsters, sets the table for what we're up against. | ||
| Walk me through your pregame. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Steve, I just want to take a moment to thank you and the War Room Posse because you have been a steadfast supporter of government gangsters. | ||
| And here it is. | ||
| Today is the launch date. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| It's out. | ||
| It's on bookshelves. | ||
| It shipped yesterday. | ||
| It's arriving at homes today. | ||
| You've been supporting this mission for 10 months while the Biden administration blockaded the release of this book. | ||
| We took them to federal court and won. | ||
| And so thank you for your support. | ||
| Order it today. | ||
| Order this book instead of the books talking about salad tossing. | ||
| and ridiculous lies about President Donald Trump. | ||
| It's got all the answers in there about how Congress should prepare for this hearing on Thursday. | ||
| Because like you just said, these guys are coming loaded for bear and get ready for the next iteration of Russiagate and a disinformation campaign. | ||
| They know we've got them dead to rights on the Biden impeachment scandal. | ||
| So they're not going to incredibly take on that line of questioning. | ||
| They're gonna deflect and turn the football back around at President Trump and come up with some other bogus scam and a misdirection and the mainstream media is gonna pick it up. | ||
| And we have to be prepared for that. | ||
| We have to go in there demanding that the Adam Goldman's of the world cough up their illegal scams, in my opinion, to enrich themselves with illegal insider stock trading when he committed to not doing that before he entered Congress. | ||
| We've got to turn the screws back on the individuals doing the questioning. | ||
| That's a big component of government gangsters. | ||
| Why we give every one of these hypocrites a pass in Congress when they're taking out our Constitution and gutting our conservative republic And is beyond me. | ||
| And unless we get fighters up there for all 27 sections of the five minute questions, then we're going to flop. | ||
| I don't have much faith in this opening inquiry hearing. | ||
| I don't even understand half the witnesses they're bringing. | ||
| I mean, it's literally in here. | ||
| The roadmap's in here. | ||
| If you want to know how to do congressional hearings, if you want to know how to use the levers of government, if you want to know the inside secrets, how we carried the nuclear football and president Trump's agenda, the national security mission, it's here. | ||
| It's shipped, it goes to your front door, send it to every Democrat, and get it out there, and help me get it back to number one on Amazon. | ||
| Because it's either this book, and great books that Steve Bannon and company write and put out, or it's the fake news and we get crushed in the polls. | ||
| That's what Government Gangsters is all about. | ||
| Go there now, governmentgangsters.com, Amazon, get your copies today. | ||
| You've done this and you've laid out the case. | ||
| That's why we want people to get this book on Thursday. | ||
| Unless we come up with what we call muzzle velocity. | ||
| I'm confused about these witnesses, too. | ||
| I'll be honest with you. | ||
| And look, I think it's great to start maybe with the Ukrainian side because people should understand even the Senate CR, of which they're running around, the Senate CR has almost no money for Ukraine because they understand it's politically toxic right now. | ||
| But these witnesses for Thursday, are you are you concerned that they're not going to grab people's attention about what really happened here? | ||
| And if you're slow and methodical, the Democrats are going to eat you alive? | ||
| We don't have the ability to be slow and methodical with the mainstream media and the press coverage we get. | ||
| This thing is probably not going to get covered at all because there are no, quote unquote, explosive, precipient and primetime witnesses. | ||
| And that's the difference between running an investigation as a law enforcement officer versus running one in Congress. | ||
| You don't have time to put lipstick on a pig. | ||
| You gotta go out guns blazing. | ||
| And the first person that should have been in that seat is Hunter Biden himself, along with the people responsible for funneling the money to the CCP. | ||
| Not to mention the fact that, Steve, where are the subpoenas? | ||
| It's like these guys forgot how to use congressional subpoenas. | ||
| Remember, they prosecuted you and Navarro for bogus contempt hearings, and they have let Garland and Wray get away with congressional subpoena violations six times over. | ||
| Not to mention the rest of the witnesses. | ||
| They don't even have the documents. | ||
| And they're bringing these guys in because they want a cheap headline. | ||
| They want to get their buddies in the media to say, oh, look at what this congressionalman scored under oath. | ||
| We, the American people, deserve more. | ||
| And that's the roadmap in government gangsters. | ||
| I know Congress doesn't want to Do the tough work that gets them face punched in the media. | ||
| But that's what we demand of them. | ||
| And these witnesses, they might sound cool for a millisecond on Capitol Hill, but the rest of America only cares about one thing, the truth and the facts. | ||
| And we don't have it because you let Adam Goldman's of the world run over you during our own congressional hearing. | ||
| Just wait for it. | ||
| Him and Nadler and Jerry Pantz and everybody else is coming in hard for us. | ||
| And they're going to drown out the truth and we are going to miss an opportunity yet again. | ||
| I just don't understand when these guys are going to learn. | ||
| Cash, one more time. | ||
| How'd they get the book? | ||
| But particularly on social media, people got to be following Cash because this hearing, remember the whole thing, oh, we can't shut down the government. | ||
| We can't do this because you got to have these hearings. | ||
| This hearing is dropped in the middle of this fight. | ||
| It's not random. | ||
| It's on Thursday, folks. | ||
| Cash has got amazing insight. | ||
| He and Nunez and Derek Harvey ran House Intel as it should have been. | ||
| In fact, they were so good that Paul Ryan removed Nunez for a while because he didn't... Paul Ryan didn't want us to get to the bottom of the nullification project that was coming out of the FBI and DOJ. | ||
| Cash, where do people go to get you? | ||
| Yeah, guys like Paul Ryan are government gangsters. | ||
| They're labeled in here. | ||
| I'm at Cash at KSH on Truth Social. | ||
| I'll be firing away non-stop about everything and governmentgangsters.com and Amazon. | ||
| Go get your copies today. | ||
| I got signed copies at governmentgangsters.com. | ||
| And let's send this book up the Amazon charts. | ||
| We got it on Walmart. | ||
| We got it in Bars and Nobles. | ||
| But let's make this book number one and not the books that are lying about the greatest president, Donald J. Trump. | ||
| You want the inside track? | ||
| You want to know stories about the nuclear football, the Baghdadi raid, hostage rescue operations, and how to fix government? | ||
| Go here, governmentgangsters.com. | ||
| It is in people's homes today. | ||
| War Room Posse, thank you, and blast out photos of the book to everyone you know. | ||
| Let's drown them out with the truth. | ||
| Cash, thanks for doing the book. | ||
| Thanks for going to court to actually get it released. | ||
| Cash has been fighting this thing for years. | ||
| Cash, thank you so much. | ||
| Thanks so much. | ||
| Cash is also going to ride shotgun with us on these hearings. | ||
| Look, if you're going to do this, you've got to do it right. | ||
| And I mean, Seb Gorky, you know, Seb comes in and does a Thursday show with us, this Thursday evening show. | ||
| He said the strategic communication side is quite important here. | ||
| That's what I hope Elise Stefanik and her team are on top of things. | ||
| Because Goldman and Jamie Raskin and Rachel Maddow and that crew, they're just here to chop this up. | ||
| Make sure it gets no momentum and gets forgotten. | ||
| It can't. | ||
| This was bribery and high treason and we got to get down to it. | ||
| This whole situation in Ukraine, 60 minutes in Ukraine, I think we're paying 57,000 first responders and entrepreneurs. | ||
| We're underwriting that as you technically, this government shutdown, right, on Saturday. | ||
| They're all wetting themselves over here on that. | ||
| And we're underwriting Ukraine. | ||
| And now this hearing is going to start with Ukraine. | ||
| If you're going to start in Ukraine, you've got to bring the heat. | ||
| You're not going to get a free pass like they got with President Trump on impeachment. | ||
| The whole reason we started the show back in 2019 for one reason. | ||
| I didn't see anybody taking the impeachment seriously. | ||
| Remember, people laughed at us, mocked us. | ||
| It was fake news. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, it was not. | ||
| About to roll in again. | ||
| Short break. |
