...to help with hostage recovery inside the Gaza Strip. | ||
Two US officials tell NBC News American drones have been operating above the territory since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th. | ||
The drones are being used to try to locate hostages taken by Hamas. | ||
Israel's military says there are more than 240 of those hostages being held captive inside Gaza. | ||
The New York Times first reported the story, citing flight data on the publicly accessible tracking website Flightradar24. | ||
Many of the hostages are believed to be held in the vast network of tunnels underground Gaza that are integral to Hamas operations. | ||
As Richard mentioned, Secretary of State Blinken is on the ground in Israel. | ||
He's expected to ask Prime Minister Netanyahu for some measure of restraint, not a ceasefire, but a humanitarian pause. | ||
Then he'll go on tomorrow to Jordan, where he will hear that Israel needs to stop what it's doing, that it needs to pull back entirely. | ||
So what is the line he's walking there? | ||
And what are the options on the table here between a ceasefire, a humanitarian pause, and everything else that's being discussed? | ||

|
Let's start with your second point about going to Jordan. | |
As I understand it, Willie, there's no longer an Israeli ambassador in Jordan. | ||
The Jordanians have removed their ambassador from Israel. | ||
And I think that what that tells us is all that's been accomplished on a positive side in the Middle East is somewhat vulnerable. | ||
We shouldn't assume there can't be backsliding. | ||
Jordan's a country that's predominantly Palestinian, and is extraordinarily worried that instability, like we're seeing in Gaza, could see, you were just talking about with Richard Engel in the West Bank, could ultimately spread. | ||
And that's one of our concerns, is to avoid instability showing elsewhere in the Middle East. | ||
This is Republicans returning to kind of who they are, and Stephanie, I would put it in the context I don't think the opening salvo is a real reflection of where Mike Johnson is compared to the rest of the caucus. | ||
They always flirt with this idea of offsetting emergency. | ||
Or in this case, aid for a national security partner that impacts our own security. | ||
But they do it knowing that this will not be the end product. | ||
And so that is the question now about Mike Johnson's leadership as the new speaker. | ||
We know under a Kevin McCarthy, it would have started here, but it would end differently. | ||
And differently means a compromise of, frankly, fully ceding to Joe Biden and Democrats to make sure there's a package that's not paid for, that doesn't include the IRS cuts. | ||
We don't know yet. | ||
Is Mike Johnson willing to really shut down the government or stall aid to Israel over this type of ideological warfare? | ||
We really don't know. | ||
What it does do, though, being in regular order now under Mike Johnson, it shows the American people where the priorities and values of the Republican Party are, and that's where they get into trouble. | ||
to actually secure funding for the conflicts involving Israel and Ukraine was supposed to be, it was supposed to be the reason that moderate Republicans voted in a far-right speaker of the House. With the intraparty war over House leadership resolved, the idea was that those emergencies would finally be dealt with. At least, that was the idea. Today it became painfully obvious that the Republicans new speaker, Congressman Mike | ||
Johnson is not really going to deal with any of it. | ||
This evening, Speaker Johnson put every Republican on the record voting for a bill that did not include any aid to Ukraine and which would provide aid to Israel only on the condition that Congress defunded the IRS to allow billionaires to cheat on their taxes. | ||
And that's sort of the point here, Conor, because let's talk about this starting point. | ||
The cuts they want to make to the IRS, all right, come directly from the money used to go after super wealthy tax evaders. | ||
It's unethical, it's awful, and it's leaving money on the table. | ||
It's money that the IRS would bring in from tax cheats. | ||
Does this not show the American people that Mike Johnson is just not a serious person? | ||
I think it does on any number of levels. | ||
Like you said, this is actually probably going to cost the taxpayers money if it were to go through, which it won't, but that's why the Congressional Budget Office came back and said, actually, you're not saving any money because every dollar you cut from the IRS, we're going to lose three or four dollars in tax revenue that they don't collect. | ||
But I think beyond that, the guy got to Congress one year before I did. | ||
He's not prepared for this. | ||
He's one of the most inexperienced people ever to hold this job. | ||
And what's going to happen is Schumer's going to get a bunch of Republicans to vote for an Israel-aid bill over in the Senate that doesn't involve the IRS. | ||
And then a bunch of Mike Johnson's members are going to say, OK, I'm going to be for that, too, because all these Senate Republicans, including the senator from my own state, has already voted for it. | ||
So he's going to get jammed. | ||
And this whole thing will be have been a pointless exercise. | ||
But he didn't realize that yet because he's not ready for this job. | ||
This is the October jobs, jobs, jobs report, and of course we're expecting non-farm payrolls to be around $180,000. | ||
unidentified
|
$150,000. | |
$150,000 versus $336,000. | ||
There are revisions coming. | ||
80,000, 150,000, 150,000, that versus 336,000, there are revisions coming. | ||
The cumulative revision over two months, minus 100,000 and 1,000. | ||
So that 336 turns into 297. | ||
Now let's move along, shall we? | ||
The unemployment rate. | ||
And do keep in mind our last look on the unemployment rate was pretty important because we had 3.8. | ||
It moves up again to 3.9. | ||
It moves up again to 3.9, 3.9. | ||
unidentified
|
3.9. | |
3.9 would be the highest level going all the way back, actually to January. | ||
To January, when we were at 4%. | ||
And just for comparison, we were at 3.7 one year ago, if you look at October of 22 versus October of 23. | ||
And finally, the underemployment rate, which is 7.2. | ||
It continues to move up. | ||
Maybe I saved the best for last. | ||
Labor force participation, 62.7. | ||
It's going in the wrong direction. | ||
Our last look was 62.8. | ||
That was the best since February of 2020. | ||
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies. | ||
unidentified
|
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? | ||
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

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

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
It's Friday, 3 November, Year of Our Lord 2023. | ||
Of course, we've got Capital Markets News, Economic News, Geopolitical, the fights on Capitol Hill, everything that this audience has come to expect from the show and also to empower you. | ||
As you go about your work in saving this country, big news. | ||
The labor numbers, I think the most important thing, the buried lead that Santelli talked about, is the resets off, the changes off the numbers you've already been given. | ||
It's just like the deficit numbers we saw when they cooked the books and it only got to 1.7. | ||
They got a 1.7 trillion dollar deficit instead of 2 trillion, which it really is. | ||
Here you're seeing the labor numbers every month, and we're going to have EJ on this afternoon, every month they're going back with these massive reallocations to show you that the numbers are never good. | ||
This government, you cannot trust anything this regime says. | ||
Including the blockbuster news out of the New York Times from going to a website that has the flight data. | ||
The Biden regime has had drones over over Gaza. | ||
And I hope somebody in the house knew this have had drones over Gaza at the beginning. | ||
And the question is, is that for targeting? | ||
I mean, are we now an active participant in this? | ||
This is why, you know, and the Israeli bill yesterday was fine in the fact that it bifurcated out Ukraine. | ||
And now overnight, the Biden regime is telling us they may cave on border security. | ||
They're really going to extort They're going to extort Congress, throw on some bells and whistles on, quote unquote, border security to get Ukraine. | ||
This is how purely evil they are. | ||
Purely evil they are. | ||
They rely on everything, whether it's what our real engagement is on these wars, what numbers are of deficits, what the unemployment real number. | ||
You can't believe anything they say because it always gets adjusted later. | ||
They want it out for the news cycle so they can get a narrative going, and then they want to change it later. | ||
You have to be all over this. | ||
We're going to get into a lot today. | ||
We're going to go to the border. | ||
Newsweek magazine, its lead story overnight, Bannon's demands for funding Israel. | ||
It's quite simple, and I've put it up on Getter as the lead. | ||
The priority here has to be the stopping of the invasion on the southern border. | ||
If we do not stop that and stop it immediately, there's not going to be any America there To be an ally of Israel. | ||
It's just not going to happen. | ||
And the $14 billion is needed, but it's not urgent. | ||
It's just not urgent. | ||
Okay? | ||
We've got to get focused. | ||
And, you know, Mike Johnson, who I think is doing a very good job, but understand that he's talking about putting up the Ukraine bill with border security. | ||
You're playing into their hands, and we will fight that. | ||
We will fight any one more penny to Ukraine. | ||
The reason is? | ||
There's a major story out that I put up that one of the lead generals in Ukraine is saying, hey, the offensive is a stalemate. | ||
We're in a total stalemate now. | ||
That's coming from him. | ||
That's your military update from Ukraine. | ||
So a lot to get to. | ||
I want to make sure we're not chasing shiny toys because Murdoch News, who's been defeated, we've defeated Murdoch News on everything. | ||
From Trump, because you know they've had DeSantis, and now they've got Nikki Haley, and on Tuesday night they're going to have Junkin, to the fight over the house, and to get the spending down, and now to remove Kevin McCarthy and his clique, and losing everything. | ||
They're going to put shiny toys out there. | ||
For you to for you to follow and I can see on Hannity every night. | ||
You got Comer. | ||
You got these oversight guys. | ||
You don't see a compelling argument. | ||
They come up for these three-minute hits for the shiny toy and want everybody to focus on this. | ||
So we have to see if it's real obviously the corruption and the selling out of the country in the treason of the Biden regime is is is so well documented. | ||
We've got to get on with it. | ||
Mike Johnson said, hey, I think it's very compelling to get on with it. | ||
I've asked Mike Howe to join us. | ||
And I want to tie together, Mike, some great research. | ||
And I don't know why, you know, as great as you guys over at Heritage are, you've got other things you've got to focus on. | ||
I don't know why we're depending upon Heritage and your group to have to do, to me, what should be basic fundamental investigation coming out of the house. | ||
I mean, I love what Kevin Roberts and you guys are doing. | ||
I love the group that you have. | ||
You've been on the board. | ||
You've been everywhere. | ||
But I keep asking, particularly what you're showing us today, why is this not coming from a House committee? | ||
And why are we not on top of things on these investigations of the Biden regime? | ||
Mike Howe? | ||
Well, that's exactly why we started the Oversight Project at Heritage. | ||
I mean, congressional oversight is a failed institution at this point. | ||
I mean, we can look back over the decades. | ||
What has it really accomplished? | ||
What has it proven? | ||
There is not the fall through, the wherewithal, the political courage And then also just the attention span and memories of the institution. | ||
I mean, if you look at Hillary Clinton, what we're going to talk about here today a little bit, what happened as a result of some of the findings that were exposed by external parties and brought to Congress? | ||
Absolutely nothing. | ||
We can talk about international influence peddling schemes, the Global Foundation ripping off an entire country in Haiti, which then our government shovels more money to. | ||
We can talk about the bathroom server, the use of pseudonyms and zero accountability. | ||
That is essentially the same playbook that Biden picked up and ran at a less sophisticated level. | ||
And the lack of Congress to actually follow through and solve these problems just makes the road for Biden to do this with Hunter Biden and his brother Jim so much more easy. | ||
And the best example, I think, of recent history is John Durham. | ||
Everyone pointed to Durham and said, he's going to save the day. | ||
We don't need to do our oversight because we've got John Durham coming in. | ||
The Durham report will be so great. | ||
Well, he showed up with an absolute nothing burger. | ||
And you have congressional Republicans of the Judiciary Committee complaining about the failure to link the investigation to Hillary Clinton, creating the Russia hoax. | ||
And so great. | ||
That's a great point. | ||
Why didn't Durham do that? | ||
But then the onus goes onto Congress. | ||
Congress, we yelled at Durham about not doing it, and then it's failed to do anything about it. | ||
Hillary Clinton has skated completely free. | ||
She's guilty across the board of several things that they're now accusing Biden of. | ||
And the regime just knows that the oversight investigations are a limp and feckless way to hold them accountable, and they're just running roughshod over it. | ||
And messaging every night, three minutes at a time, on Sean Hannity to retirement homes around the country isn't going to get it done. | ||
You do not remove a corrupt president in this regime with retirement home communities watching Hannity every night. | ||
You've got to build out the messaging. | ||
You've got to go all gas, no brakes. | ||
We're not going to wait for them to do it. | ||
So we're in federal court. | ||
We're across the board doing it ourselves at Oversight Project. | ||
Hang on, we're going to take a short commercial break, and I want to tee up when we come back. | ||
For not doing this properly the first time, you haven't killed the vampire with Hillary Clinton. | ||
I mean, just because we defeated her in 2016 doesn't mean the Clinton operation and the vampire is not still there. | ||
They're all over Ukraine. | ||
One of the reasons that you've got sixty billion dollars up in your grill right now, when the country's in a financial free fall, is the Clinton Global Initiative is back because it was not taken care of originally, like Mike Howe's talking about. | ||
We've got to get serious. | ||
Got to go on offense and stay on offense. | ||
All gas, no break, according to Mike Howe at Heritage. | ||
Short break. | ||
Mike is on the other side. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
Okay. | ||
As we break down this funding fiasco, you have to keep asking yourself. | ||
You've got the generals coming out in Ukraine. | ||
And the reason the general's being truthful, he understands he's got to try to get a long-term relationship with NATO and these countries in Poland, particularly these brave countries that are thrown in over in Eastern Europe. | ||
And he's not going to get like Zelensky. | ||
Zelensky's like a used car salesman. | ||
He's not going to do that. | ||
He's going to be straightforward. | ||
He's very straightforward. | ||
He says, look, This thing didn't pan out. | ||
We didn't make a lot of progress. | ||
It's a stalemate. | ||
It is what it is. | ||
But we got to face reality. | ||
Up on Capitol Hill, they're up there with 60, $80 billion. | ||
And this is just a money laundering, child trafficking bio lab. | ||
Who knows? | ||
As I say, we haven't picked the scab yet. | ||
One of the reasons is the Clintons. | ||
When we talk about the cartel, you've got to talk about these prominent families. | ||
You've got factions, you've got lobbyists, but then you have these factions. | ||
The Clinton faction is a powerful faction. | ||
This weekend, I think it's the 15th anniversary of Obama, their victory, they're all meeting again. | ||
As you remember, the Biden regime, a third of that is the restoration of Obama's third term. | ||
So Mike, Hal, I want to go back. | ||
You guys, the reason I wanted to start the show today with you, because I'm very concerned on the great fights we got going and people on the ramparts in focus. | ||
I can see what's happening. | ||
They're trying to divert people's attention with shiny toys right now. | ||
And I'm all for The impeachment and investigation of the Bidens and get real because the facts are out there, which I've been saying for a couple of years, and now you got, which I'll get to later, you got Hunter Biden, Lighton, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani up in an op-ed on USA Today that we're mean and cruel people picking on him because he's a perverted drug addict. | ||
Go back. | ||
You've got to take the Clintons out, metaphorically. | ||
You've got to do it through investigations and showing the criminality. | ||
Go back to this original research you've got of how we've let all these guys off the hook, and this is one of the reasons they still come back and still have such a prominent influence on American policy. | ||
Right. | ||
So we got some documents out of the Office of Special Counsel. | ||
That's an independent agency that investigates Certain violations, and this relates to the infamous tarmac meeting. | ||
So the heat of when Clinton and Hillary was on the ropes, you had Bill Clinton who confronted and got on the private jet with then Attorney General Loretta Lynch, okay? | ||
This clearly implicates pressure on her to drop the investigation into Hillary. | ||
The question is, what was offered in return? | ||
I think implications point to a Supreme Court seat if Hillary Clinton was president. | ||
What did Republicans do with it? | ||
Absolutely nothing besides message about it. | ||
And so we're still in court fighting for the documents. | ||
And one of the documents we got out is an interview transcript from this Office of Special Counsel investigator with the FBI. | ||
And it's pointing at all that. | ||
unidentified
|
Shoot! | |
What's important now, Mike, I... | ||
I didn't catch that. | ||
Did he freeze? | ||
Okay, we'll have to unfreeze him in a second. | ||
Here's my point. | ||
Right now, you have Comer. | ||
And you have Jordan. | ||
And they do this Hannity special the other day, you know, with Mike Johnson. | ||
And it's fine. | ||
Those kind of things are fine. | ||
They're fine to do. | ||
They're like mini pep rallies up on Capitol Hill. | ||
And you got Mike Johnson sitting there going, you know, I think there's something serious here. | ||
And, you know, we're going to have to pursue it. | ||
That's fine. | ||
That's exactly what we want to see. | ||
However, you got Jordan. | ||
And look, one of the reasons Jordan's not Speaker of the House, Is because this audience, and this is what the mainstream media missed, this audience was not that enthusiastic. | ||
Why? | ||
The Jim Jordan 1.0 was our guy. | ||
The Jim Jordan 2.0 was not our guy. | ||
And what we know from the Jim Jordan 2.0, he never issued any subpoenas. | ||
We're here in November. | ||
We're here a year away from the election. | ||
And there has been no subpoenas issued. | ||
That's because Kevin McCarthy and the donors didn't want to go there. | ||
And my point, if you're going to clean up this mess, if you're going to clean up this mess, you have to go there. | ||
You have a duty and obligation to go there. | ||
Mike, we got your back. | ||
So tell me, where do you stand in this investigation right now? | ||
We're going to keep prying all the docs out. | ||
This document set hasn't been provided to the American people on just this, you know, one aspect, which is the tarmac meeting, which is the quid pro quo for all of this. | ||
And we know there was preferential treatment given to Hillary. | ||
You have the infamous Jim Comey dropping of the investigations, Loretta Lynch throwing up her hands and saying she's off the hook. | ||
And so we're going to keep making the case. | ||
Somebody, whoever the next president is, controls the DOJ, needs to get in there and actually impose consequences on these people. | ||
This is why we see the same types of corruption, whether it's bathroom servers, the pseudonyms that Hillary used, and then now that Biden and Hunter used. | ||
It's the same stuff the regime and their top-level elites use these tradecrafts. | ||
And if Republicans on Capitol Hill cannot impose consequences, then we're going to take the case to the next conservative administration, state attorney generals, and anybody else who has the political wherewithal to actually do something about it. | ||
And it's not just Hillary. | ||
Look at Ukraine. | ||
I mean, this whole thing was set up about 10 years ago because of the bad actions that were related to the Clinton State Department. | ||
Sean McCain and others going out there, stirring up all this trouble that the U.S. | ||
and everyday Americans are now on the hook for well over $100 billion. | ||
In a position where we are at our weakest on the world stage, we're spread out on multiple continents, And it all traces back to corruption and the corruption of the regime. | ||
And until someone steps in and rips out the rot at the root, this will continue. | ||
And the conservative movement will just be Little Brother yelling at three-minute clips on evening news, and that's not enough to get it done. | ||
That's why we're doing it ourselves at the Heritage Foundation. | ||
We built an investigative team that is par none, far surpasses anything out there on the right, a litigation team. | ||
We're fighting for these things in court where the House of Representatives has not been yet this Congress. | ||
They have not sued once. | ||
We've sued 35 times. | ||
And we're going to make that number close to 100 as we can get. | ||
All gas, no brakes. | ||
Follow us at Oversight PR on X. We're putting all the findings out there and we're not going to wait for anyone else to do it. | ||
Okay, Mike, I know you've got to bounce, but I've got to get you back on here. | ||
You said one of the most profound things about ten years ago with the color revolution, you know, 2014. | ||
You know, I had both Nigel and Rahim actually went over there to cover that for me when I ran Breitbart. | ||
We've been stirring up the pot over there for a decade, and now you're getting the due bill. | ||
You got $113 billion already in there, $120 billion. | ||
They're asking for another 60-80. | ||
But it's going to be another 60-80 next year, just like Afghanistan, another 60-80. | ||
We're going to be at a half a trillion dollars before you... And all you've done is killed 50 or 60,000 Ukrainians, as Mershimer told you happened. | ||
And the generals are now sitting there going, hey, look, this is not happening. | ||
It's a stalemate. | ||
This thing... And here's what upsets me. | ||
I have tremendous respect for Kevin Roberts and Heritage and Mike Howe, obviously. | ||
But why are we putting the burden on these guys? | ||
Why is he in court 35 times? | ||
And we haven't given a freaking subpoena yet for Hunter Biden. | ||
And they're sitting on Fox the other night, kind of bouncing around. | ||
Yeah, we got to do this. | ||
It's November of 2023. | ||
We're one year from a general election. | ||
They've been at this now for three years. | ||
Mike Howe, once again, where do people go to find out all your work, sir? | ||
Fight us on X at Oversight PR. | ||
We're posting our lawsuits and the findings there. | ||
All gas, no brakes. | ||
Thank you very much, Mike Howe. | ||
Love it. | ||
Okay, I got another fighter, and they're fighting up in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and this one's getting tight. | ||
A couple weeks, I think four weeks ago, we had Terry on. | ||
Cameron, the Republican, was down 15 points. | ||
Let's play a spot, and we'll bring Terry in. | ||
unidentified
|
Growing up, putting in countless hours of early morning practices, I would have never imagined I'd be competing against a male. | |
Democrats like Andy Beshear claim this isn't happening, but it is. | ||
And it happened to me. | ||
When I swam for Kentucky in the National Championship, Leah Thomas and I tied, but they gave the trophy to him. | ||
Governor Andy Beshear. | ||
A real man wouldn't let men steal trophies from us, and he wouldn't let men in girls' locker rooms. | ||
That's why I'm supporting a real man this November. | ||
Daniel Cameron for governor. | ||
It's just common sense. | ||
We protect kids from alcohol, tobacco, and gambling. | ||
We even have age of consent laws to protect them from sexual abuse. | ||
So why is Andy Beshear vetoing legislation that protects kids from permanent, harmful, and sterilizing sex change drugs and procedures? | ||
If kids can't consent to sex, how in the world can they consent to a sex change? | ||
It's just common sense. | ||
Vote against Andy Beshear. | ||
Amazing. | ||
Down 15 points, what, 3-4 weeks ago. | ||
Where are we today, Brother Terry Schilling? | ||
Hey, thanks for having me, Steve. | ||
So, new poll just dropped this morning showing the race from the same pollster that showed it being a 15-point race, Emerson, last month. | ||
It is now 47-47 in the final week leading up to the election. | ||
Steve, we've closed the gap here. | ||
Just two weeks ago, there was another poll that showed the gap had shifted to 45-47. | ||
This is a tightening race, and it's all because Voters are finding out the truth. | ||
They're finding out that they've been lied to, that Andy Beshear is no moderate Democrat. | ||
He is as radical as they come. | ||
He's someone that has vetoed a bill that would keep men out of women's sports. | ||
He vetoed a sex change ban for minors. | ||
You can't be a moderate, Steve, and veto legislation like this. | ||
This is the moderate position. | ||
Your thinking through this race was brilliant. | ||
You came to me and said, hey, look, everybody, the way the media plays this, both local and national, is that this guy's your next door neighbor. | ||
You want to have a barbecue with him. | ||
He's a moderate. | ||
He's a he's a suburban dad. | ||
He's actually as radical as any governor, any Democratic governor in the in the United States. | ||
And you guys are going to make spots to prove it. | ||
I take it that strategy looks like it's working. | ||
It's working so far, Steve, but I don't want to put the car ahead of the horse and start celebrating just yet. | ||
It's gonna come down to the wire. | ||
But that wire, and what that is, is that's 350,000 Donald Trump voters that show up In the presidential years, but don't show up in the odd years. | ||
And so we're spending in the final week of this campaign, we're spending $750,000 making sure that all of those Trump voters know that Donald Trump has endorsed Daniel Cameron and that Daniel Cameron is the only candidate that's going to stand up for their children and for parental rights in this state. | ||
By the way, I want you to stay through the break because I've got a couple more questions. | ||
How are you guys doing turnout? | ||
It's all about the turnout model now, so how are you guys working on it? | ||
We're doing digital advertising, so we're hitting them on all the social media channels we can. | ||
We're sending out over 5 million text messages this week, but the real kicker is we're having a telephone town hall with Riley Gaines on Sunday night, and anyone can join that, but we're going to make sure people know. | ||
We are going to stream that. | ||
I'm glad you gave us the information. | ||
Grace and Mo will be on that. | ||
Short commercial break, we're going to come back with Terry Schilling. | ||
We have Ben Burquham at the border on the invasion of this nation, the number one priority besides cutting spending. | ||
Also, Darren Beattie on the FBI. | ||
Next. | ||

That the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration, the likes of which we haven't seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago. | |
In just the past few weeks, multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West. | ||
Al Qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the United States in the last five years. | ||
ISIS urged its followers to target Jewish communities in the United States and Europe. | ||
Hezbollah has publicly expressed its support for Hamas and threatened to attack U.S. | ||
interests in the Middle East. | ||
And we've seen an increase in attacks on U.S. | ||
military bases overseas carried out by militia groups backed by Iran. | ||
Here in the United States, our most immediate concern is that violent extremists, individuals or small groups, will draw Inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives. | ||
That includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization, but also domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish or Muslim communities. | ||
Okay. | ||
I want you to remember this because we're going to go through Schilling and Kentucky. | ||
We're going to talk to Ben, I think, down at the border, and Darren Beatty is going to come in. | ||
But this all ties together. | ||
This regime that's in power, and the permanent regime, as represented by Chris Wray, you just had Mike Allen here talking about how the investigations from the Republicans never get to the heart of it. | ||
And that's why you have this administrative state, the deep state, and they're buried in, and they're not going to budge. | ||
With everything that's going on in the world, And particularly the fact that it is now evident on a fight that I've been a part of, I don't know, for 15 years, 10 or 15 years, and have been criticized and demonized as an Islamophobe, of which I'm not. | ||
But front and center is Islamic Sharia supremacists. | ||
Sharia supremacists. | ||
Right now in Israel, I think that the head of Hezbollah, the Shiite, what they call party of God, is about to declare war on Israel on the northern border. | ||
Even the Israelis, particularly Netanyahu, played this down for years. | ||
They kind of looked at Hamas as a secular organization. | ||
This fight in the Middle East is about Sharia supremacist. | ||
Here in the United States, which we've allowed invasion of the border, we have all these sides, we have no earthy idea what's going on. | ||
And the Inspector General tells us that. | ||
Right now, what Chris Wray just said right there, violent extremists is you. | ||
Their number one target is still Trump voters. | ||
And why is their number one target? | ||
Why do they send this chilling message? | ||
Violent extremists, violent extremists. | ||
Well, you're gonna see. | ||
What did Terry Schilling just say? | ||
Terry Schilling just said, gave you the key that picks the lock. | ||
unidentified
|
The $350,000. | |
Trump supporters that vote for Trump in Kentucky that can change the direction of politics in this country by showing up on Tuesday and throwing Brashear out. | ||
Brashear out, who's one of these. | ||
The new Democratic model is to put these kind of schmendricks up there that look like average, you know, Joe's next door at the barbecue. | ||
And they're really radicals, particularly radicals on transgender ideology in this radical grooming philosophy of the Democratic regime. | ||
Also, at the border. | ||
You're going to see Ben Bergen and some guys this week that are trying to protect the border and alert people, alert people to the invasion that's coming and actually assist the overwhelmed Border Patrol in identifying. | ||
You know what they are? | ||
They're violent extremists. | ||
And then Darren Beatty is going to get into one we should be focused on. | ||
They just said right there in the question and answer with Rick Scott that, oh no, we're not really tracking, you know, the terrorist groups here. | ||
We're tracking violent extremists. | ||
When you hear violent extremists, They mean Trump voter. | ||
Once again, before we leave you, Terry Shilling, turnout is everything. | ||
Those 350,000 Trump supporters, if you turn out, and understand, to get President Trump back in the White House, and as importantly, to empower him in his second term, we need some tough-nosed Republican governors in these states, and we certainly need one in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. | ||
So once again, what are people to do, Terry? | ||
We gotta get the word out. | ||
I mean, Steve, you've got so many listeners in Kentucky right now. | ||
They all need to put this on their calendar. | ||
Put a hundred reminders on your phone if you need to. | ||
You have to show up and vote in this election. | ||
That's the only way we lose. | ||
The only way we lose is if all the Republicans in the state stay home. | ||
If we just get half of those Trump supporters that show up in the presidential years, but not the odd years to show up, we win, and we win by a huge margin, right? | ||
This last election, Steve, this is where you and I really started to build a friendship, was in 2019 when we first ran these sports ads against Bashir, and he lied and said he wouldn't do anything to hurt girls' sports. | ||
Steve, this is the revenge. | ||
This is the exposure. | ||
He lied to the voters and vetoed this legislation. | ||
We have to make him pay a political price for it, especially going into 24. | ||
Once again, how'd they get to the American Principles Project? | ||
How'd they find out more about your work? | ||
Look, if you want to see these ads, we have another one up online and you want to support us, go to lyingandy.com. | ||
It's just lyingandy.com. | ||
Check out the ads we have and give us some support. | ||
It's all going to come down to the wire. | ||
We need to turn out every single vote. | ||
Every text message costs five and a half cents, Steve. | ||
You can help remind people to vote for five and a half cents. | ||
So you give us $5.50, that's a hundred voter contacts. | ||
It's an incredible tool. | ||
Thanks, Terry. | ||
Thanks for the fight you're doing, and particularly the focus. | ||
The key is what he focused on, and it turned out it worked, but we gotta push it over the top. | ||
Thanks, brother. | ||
Let me go to Darren next. | ||
I'm gonna go to Ben. | ||
So, Darren. | ||
You have to admire this. | ||
I do kind of admire it. | ||
It's like Trump saying Hezbollah's smart. | ||
Hezbollah is smart. | ||
Oh, no, Nikki Haley. | ||
No, they're evil. | ||
I got that they're evil. | ||
I got that part, but they're also smart. | ||
That's what they've been able to accomplish so much and they've accomplished a lot because they're tough and smart and that's why they're a mortal threat to the state of Israel. | ||
Ray and these guys are relentless. | ||
Here we are brother. | ||
We got the greatest anti-semitism. | ||
A Jewish kid can't walk across a campus of any Ivy League school or UCLA. | ||
If you're, try it out. | ||
Go down to UCLA, go to Westwood and you know, Westwood is that beautiful community and I want Catholics to put a yarmulke on. | ||
Put a yarmulke on a walk across UCLA campus. | ||
Tell me what that experience is like. | ||
You got all this going on and Biden's coming out with, oh, we have to have a major emphasis on Islamophobia. | ||
Islamophobia. | ||
And you got the FBI director's number one focus, brother, is violent extremists. | ||
They haven't got enough. | ||
They haven't rung enough at a January 6th yet. | ||
Your thoughts and observations. | ||
Well, it's a remarkable and interesting statement to read in full. | ||
And I reread it carefully before coming on the program. | ||
And it's important to situate within the context of the development of the national security state. | ||
Remember that the entire national security apparatus, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, a lot of the capabilities that the deep state has emerged as a result of The supposed threat of Islamic terror in the aftermath of 9-11. | ||
That was the pretext for all of this stuff to develop. | ||
And then when it seemed like that threat had dissipated or it could no longer be effectively drummed up in people's consciousness, because a lot of the kind of ISIS attacks started to dwindle. | ||
There was a peak in like 2015, 2016 in Europe, and then it started to dwindle. | ||
And the national security state saw, okay, well, the biggest threat is now coming from these Trump people. | ||
And to keep our budgets running, we need to really lean into that because we can't sell the Islamo-fascist-Islamic-threat narrative anymore as effectively. | ||
So now what you have with this Hamas attack and the situation Escalating in the Middle East and that politics boiling up into the domestic environment here. | ||
Now you have a kind of embarrassment of riches from the standpoint of the national security state because not only do they have violent extremism, which means, you know, any American who, for instance, would oppose mass immigration of Palestinian refugees into the country. | ||
We did a whole separate piece on that on this. | ||
Um, woman who was Michelle Obama's chief of staff, who would be in charge of resettling these people. | ||
So if you oppose the refugees, you're a domestic extremist, but also if you can be interpreted as, you know, supporting, you know, Palestinian cause or that you can also be a domestic extremist by the old rules of the Patriot Act and sort of the old time classics of using the national security state against the Islamic threat. | ||
So now they have both sides to take care of. | ||
I think the national security community is actually an enormous beneficiary of this. | ||
And just as a kind of foreign policy footnote to Christopher Wray's remarks, it really is rich that he was emphasizing ISIS repeatedly and the threat of ISIS because his pals in government, Hillary Clinton herself, and this was substantiated in WikiLeaks emails, ISIS was on the side of the United States geopolitically. | ||
The whole thing that was going on in 2015 with the Syrian civil war was the U.S. | ||
effectively promoting the quote-unquote Sunni rebels in Syria to oust Assad. | ||
And so now they're conflating the whole issue as though, you know, ISIS is equivalent to everything else. | ||
So it's really just | ||
It's its own kind of slop, but the take-home point, I think, is the national security community will have a field day because not only do they have the MAGA people to go after, not only do they have the heightened threat of saying, oh, any MAGA person who opposes, you know, refugee resettlement is Islamophobic and all of that, but then they also have the old George W. Bush Patriot Act era grift of | ||
Going after, you know, Islamic extremism in the domestic environment. | ||
So that's my basic read of the situation and in particular Christopher Wray's speech. | ||
We just had Mike, and by the way, it was testimony. | ||
We just had Mike Howland here from Heritage about the fecklessness of the oversight and never any follow-through, never any punch. | ||
How can we be living in the resurgence of President Trump? | ||
They sent, you know, Mar-a-Lago. | ||
They thought they had, you know, sent him away forever. | ||
Exiled him. | ||
It's like Napoleon at, what it, on the, was it Helena, right? | ||
They had exiled him. | ||
But he came back bigger and stronger than ever. | ||
We took the house. | ||
How can we be sitting here? | ||
And allowing the FBI to say that and not have, you know, nine investigations coming today, cut their funding off zero. | ||
Why, why are we in a process of allowing them to target Trump voters? | ||
This is, this is voter intimidation. | ||
This is, this is voter suppression. | ||
They're trying to chill Trump supporters because they understand we could deliver an overwhelming landslide victory, sir. | ||
Well, yeah, absolutely. | ||
I mean, this is the story of basically the past, you know, at least five, six, seven years is the transformation of the entire security apparatus of the legal apparatus as a political weapon to go after the domestic political enemies of the regime, which principally are Trump supporters, not limited to Trump supporters, but that general cultural, sociological, political community. | ||
This is the number one threat. | ||
And as far as my understanding goes, it's still the case that the official position of the Department of Homeland Security is that the number one threat to American national security is so-called white supremacist terror. | ||
And so it's quite amazing. | ||
And just one last point about Ray's testimony, because in all the talk about- I tell you what, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
We only got a few seconds, I'm gonna hold you over. | ||
I gotta get more in depth. | ||
Plus Ukraine, plus this targeting by drones in Gaza, a lot to go through with Dharambeedi. | ||
From a revolver, one of the best sites out there. | ||
Short break. | ||
Our nation was founded on the fundamental principle that all people should have the freedom to live, to worship, and to be without fear of violence or persecution. | ||
Every person has the right to live safe from violence, hate, and bigotry. | ||
And for those reasons and so many more, President Joe Biden and I have a duty not only to keep the people of our nation safe, but to condemn unequivocally and forcefully all forms of hate. | ||
Since we took office, President Biden and I have fought to uphold that duty. | ||
Over the past decade, America has seen a rise in attacks on houses of worship. | ||
So in response, we expanded funding to protect houses of worship from violence. | ||
After a surge in hate during the pandemic, in particular, anti-Asian hate. | ||
She's, um... | ||
Man, I don't even know how to describe that. | ||
Anyway, their big push last night was Islamophobia. | ||
Also, at the same time, a columnist over at Salon makes the case that the biggest threat to America is not the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or a greater threat than the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Sharia, Supremacism, is MAGA. | ||
And Christian nationalism. | ||
I told you they would go there and they went. | ||
And MSNBC last night had a field day with it. | ||
You're the problem. | ||
MAGA and Christian nationalism is the number one, the number one national security threat. | ||
Salon, one of the most prominent magazines in the progressive ecosystem. | ||
Darren Beatty, your thoughts on that? | ||
MAGA and Christian nationalism, and this is a prominent, this is the former Playboy guy, this is a guy who was a White House correspondent, wrote this huge piece. | ||
Now he got lit up by some influences, but that's kind of irrelevant. | ||
Conservative influences, doesn't matter. | ||
He put the piece out. | ||
MAGA and Christian nationalism is a greater threat than the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
Hamas, and you had And last night, Kamala, their big thing is Islamophobia, and that's going to come right to the domestic extremists. | ||
You said that the number of attacks dropped in 2016 and 2017. | ||
That's because Donald Trump took action. | ||
He sealed the border and we put the travel ban in. | ||
And we did many other things. | ||
And we had to fight the apparatus the entire time. | ||
They didn't want to do any of it. | ||
In fact, I keep telling you, when I try to get with President Trump's concurrence, the Muslim Brotherhood, designated as a terrorist organization, got nowhere. | ||
Zero. | ||
Because it's so infiltrated in the entire apparatus. | ||
Darren Beattie. | ||
Well, absolutely. | ||
You know, one real educational experience for me before I was in politics, I was still a graduate student at Duke at the time. | ||
And I had the opportunity to have lunch with General Michael Hayden and a couple of other people. | ||
And I suggested to him, might the most effective way to address the threat of Islamic terror, which was kind of still part of the conversation at that point, that didn't involve war, And didn't involve enhancing the national security state's capabilities. | ||
Because remember, he was in charge of the NSA when all that stuff was going on. | ||
Wouldn't a third alternative simply be to restrict immigration flow from nations with a history of problems with Islamic terror? | ||
And he laughed in my face. | ||
And didn't even answer. | ||
His answer was laughing in my face. | ||
And that was so instructive is to say that Oh, stop, stop, stop. | ||
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop. | ||
You presented that exactly like you presented it? | ||
And he laughed in your face? | ||
It was not polemical. | ||
I was the polite scholar type, and that's the tone and context in which I presented it. | ||
And it wasn't like a large group, so he could just kind of laugh and look at someone else. | ||
It was maybe five or six people, and his answer was simply, To laugh in my face and not address the issue at all. | ||
And the point was, you know, and that struck me as so remarkable from someone who's such a senior position in the military, in, uh, in the intelligence community. | ||
If there are three options of dealing with the threat of Islamic terror, one is keep putting, you know, keep stuffing steroids in the Patriot Act. | ||
Effectively. | ||
Number two is another Iraq war. | ||
And number three is restricting immigration flows. | ||
It seemed from a national security perspective, from an ethical perspective, from a perspective of limiting curtailments to freedom, all of that The immigration approach is by far the most reasonable and effective, but the mere suggestion that that should be tapped into at all, as opposed to the wars and enhancement of the national security capabilities, was quite literally ludicrous. | ||
Ludicrous in the literal sense of the term. | ||
And that was, you know, a first bit of real education I got as to how the swamp and how the deep state component of the swamp | ||
Operates and things and of course he's turned out to be even more of a scumbag than he was back then Real quickly because and I'll tee this up I'm gonna figure out maybe tomorrow I got it, but how was on here talking about you know the Ukraine bills coming up is another 60 80 billion dollars We've got the lead general saying hey the things a stalemate. | ||
I'm not gonna lie anymore You've been this Ukraine situation You're the first one to call it, you and Rahim, on the color revolution that took place there that didn't come here. | ||
How can we best, how would you recommend this audience think about this Ukraine as they come forward and ask for another 60 to 80 billion dollars, sir? | ||
Well, it's just an endless cash cow to the corrupt oligarchs running Ukraine and the corrupt oligarchs running the American regime and the defense industry. | ||
That's all it is, is It's a wealth transfer from the beleaguered American taxpayer to the corrupt oligarchs of America and the corrupt oligarchs of Ukraine. | ||
None of it goes to the people of Ukraine, virtually none. | ||
So it's, you know, it's an endless grift. | ||
It's an endless grift of the national security state. | ||
And what's particularly unfortunate about the defense industry, Griff, is, you know, it would be better from a humanitarian perspective and from a security perspective, probably, to say, OK, can we just theoretically tally up how much money Raytheon would make? | ||
For whatever war they're pushing for, whatever intervention. | ||
Can we just tally up? | ||
Can we get, can we get maybe, you know, EY or, you know, one of the big four accounting firms to tally up how much lock he would make and just give them the money and not do the war? | ||
Oh no, give us a 20% discount and we'll pay you. | ||
Darren, how do people get to you? | ||
How do they get to your everything? | ||
