Because we're going medieval on this, people. | |
| You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

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

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front, and so ended the war to end all wars, the Great War. | ||
| Didn't quite work out like that, did it? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| 20th century from August of 1914. | ||
| The 20th century is the bloodiest century in mankind's history. | ||
| The most barbaric century in mankind's history. | ||
| In the future, they'll look back at it as a new dark age. | ||
| Calculated, I don't know, a quarter of a billion people, 250 million people. | ||
| From August of 1914 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Tiananmen Square and Berlin Wall within a couple of months of each other in 1989, the end of the Great War that absorbed the entire 20th century, what we call the short 20th century because it was 1914 to 1989. | ||
| 250 million people starved to death, tortured to death, died in concentration camps, murdered, assassinated, died by ever-increasing wars of annihilation, whether it's on the Western Front or in Western Europe in World War II, or the islands in the beautiful South Pacific, mainland China, Russia. | ||
| A conflict of immense complexity and just raw, just barbaric savagery. | ||
| And here's what folks don't get a lot, that when these wars start, they get crueler and nastier and more savage as they go on. | ||
| These are wars of annihilation and attrition. | ||
| That's what happened in World War II. | ||
| The end of World War II, one of the most horrific times in world history to beat the fascists, to beat Imperial Japan, to beat the Nazis. | ||
| We bombed Western Europe, we bombed Germany, back to the Stone Age, places like Dresden. | ||
| We firebombed Tokyo, firebombed Tokyo at treetop level with napalm to create firestorms, tornadic activity. | ||
| When that didn't work, we dropped atomic bombs. | ||
| Why? | ||
| We had to. | ||
| Otherwise you would have lost, I don't know, the Japanese would have lost four or five million people in an invasion of Japan because they would have fought to the bitter end. | ||
| These conflicts were brutal, and we're looking at another one today. | ||
| We're at the very beginning stages of the Third World War. | ||
| We've had the unrestricted warfare of the Chinese Communist Party and the gangsters that are against us, Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, the mullahs and the theocracy in Persia and Tehran, the KGB, the criminals running in Moscow. | ||
| Not that we don't have allies. | ||
| Our allies in World War II were the Chinese people, Lao Bajing. | ||
| Our allies in World War II were the Russian people. | ||
| They took the casualties. | ||
| As much as the courage and the bravery and the valor of the Band of Brothers and all the great Americans who fought in the Pacific, fought in North Africa, Italy, in Western Europe, and in the air. | ||
| I think there's still 40,000 airmen unaccounted for. | ||
| Died in the air war over Germany. | ||
| The Chinese and the Russian people lost, I don't know, 40, 50, 60 million people. | ||
| Absorbing the blow of the Imperial Japanese Army and of course the Wehrmacht. | ||
| But we abandoned them. | ||
| We abandoned them immediately. | ||
| We abandoned them to Stalin. | ||
| We over-armed Stalin. | ||
| Abandoned them to Stalin. | ||
| Allowed Stalin to take Berlin. | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| When Montgomery and Patton were right there. | ||
| How did the Red Army take Berlin? | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| How did we, how did our State Department infested with communist from FDR's administration and Truman's administration? | ||
| How did we allow the State Department to turn over China to Mao Tse-Tung and the bandit communist party working with the Chinese tongs? | ||
| How did that happen? | ||
| We abandoned our allies. | ||
| The United States of America, our government, abandoned our allies, abandoned all the people. | ||
| If you look at our true allies in World War II and Western Europe, You had a handful of French. | ||
| You did. | ||
| Resistance. | ||
| We had England, obviously. | ||
| You had a handful of French. | ||
| You had the Poles. | ||
| You had others from Eastern Europe. | ||
| We abandoned all of them. | ||
| Your government, the elites in this country, abandoned them to Stalin. | ||
| We abandoned them to Mao. | ||
| And then, what, 50 years later, in Tiananmen Square, when the goddess of liberty, goddess of democracy was put up, And Deng Xiaoping and the ruthless gangsters in Beijing turned Tiananmen Square into a bloodbath. | ||
| Tens of thousands dead, murdered, slaughtered right there. | ||
| George Bush 41 sent Scowcroft over with Jim Baker and that crowd. | ||
| We got your back. | ||
| We're gonna turn you into a manufacturing superpower. | ||
| We've got your back. | ||
| Just clean up, do a little optics here on the side. | ||
| Berlin Wall Falls 1989. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Outside of a couple of of countries in Eastern Europe, the Hungries and the Polans, that have stood up for freedom. | ||
| We allowed the KGB, we allowed the KGB gangsters to take it back over. | ||
| We abandoned the Russian people and we abandoned the Chinese people again. | ||
| Our natural allies are the Russian people and the Chinese people. | ||
| They have been. | ||
| That's the history of World War II, not the leaders. | ||
| Stalin's as bad as they got. | ||
| Remember, they tried to make Stalin like Uncle Joe. | ||
| They try to PR, make him more acceptable to the American people. | ||
| He's as murderous a dictator as Hitler. | ||
| Actually, what he did in Ukraine in the 1930s was one of the most barbaric things in human history. | ||
| He starved to death a population that was essentially in Kansas growing wheat so that he could take all the peasants in Russia and put them in factories. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, the collectivization. | |
| That's the history of the 20th century. | ||
| The 20th century is the most barbaric, dark age in the history of man. | ||
| More people murdered, more people slaughtered. | ||
| And what did technology get us? | ||
| Technology got us, here's what it got us, better ways to slaughter people. | ||
| That's the 20th century. | ||
| In the 21st century, folks, ladies and gentlemen, starting off even worse. | ||
| And now you got today in Riyadh. | ||
| See what the French poet told us? | ||
| Your first obligation is to see what you see. | ||
| Strip away all the falsehoods. | ||
| Strip it away. | ||
| That's what this Great Awakening is about, is for you. | ||
| Once you see it, once the American people become energized, like in the Revolution and in the Civil War, in World War II, we'll pivot and get this thing right. | ||
| But it's going to take, it's going to be a lot. | ||
| In this Veterans Day, for everybody that served this country, in all the battlefields of Korea and Vietnam, World War II, the Gulf War, all the Special Forces operation, The folks that were there in Beirut in 83, all of it, in Iraq and Afghanistan, these endless, endless, endless wars. | ||
| We don't win anymore. | ||
| We manage. | ||
| We manage Vietnam. | ||
| We manage Iraq. | ||
| We manage Afghanistan. | ||
| When American people think of military activity right now, you know, the first thing you think of is, it's not about the heroism and valor. | ||
| Every one of these people on the show and all their colleagues and everything they did, the courage and the valor is unbelievable. | ||
| And particularly an all-volunteer force. | ||
| These people all volunteered for this. | ||
| But it's the quagmire. | ||
| I mean, given what's happened in the Middle East today, how do you go over to Section 60? | ||
| Not the Cheneys and not the phonies that allowed that to happen. | ||
| I'm talking about the good people, the people that have made an impact, the people like Joe Kent. | ||
| That, hey, we can't have these continual wars. | ||
| What then is to be done? | ||
| The first thing is to take political power, to make sure this can't happen again, and to make sure these same elites that do this over and over and over again are turfed out. | ||
| That they're not going to do it to another generation. | ||
| They're the ones that got America on the verge of bankruptcy. | ||
| Not the verge of bankruptcy, we are bankrupt. | ||
| I've worked on enough bankruptcies in my life as an investment banker to tell you this is stone-cold bankrupt. | ||
| We didn't have the magic Federal Reserve note that everybody has to use to transact, whether it's a drug deal or given to a charity in any part of the world. | ||
| If you didn't have that as a prime reserve currency, we would be like Argentina. | ||
| And that day is coming to an end. | ||
| That's why I keep saying, go to Birch Gold. | ||
| We've done the death of the dollar empire. | ||
| End of the dollar empire. | ||
| Go see that. | ||
| But more importantly, talk to Birch today about why the Chinese Communist Party and all these other central banks are the bricks that have all the resources. | ||
| Why are they getting out of the dollar? | ||
| Why are they doing that? | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| I tell you what's happening. | ||
| We have an elites that it's not about the managed decline of the United States of America anymore. | ||
| It used to be in the 16. | ||
| It was the managed decline of the country. | ||
| That's where Trump fought. | ||
| And that's why the Clintons weren't allowed back in. | ||
| And that's why they came after Trump day one, after he won. | ||
| They didn't let him govern, they came after him. | ||
| That's why they've got him up for 700 years in prison. | ||
| They're stripping his business out in New York City. | ||
| They're trying to take him off the ballot. | ||
| They believe so much in democracy, they want to take him off the... gin up some phony thing in the 14th Amendment and take him out. | ||
| Not even give you the chance to vote for him. | ||
| That's how much they believe in democracy, just like Zelensky. | ||
| They believe so much in democracy. | ||
| Hey, let's not have an election, because we'll be thrown out. | ||
| This is the situation this Veterans Day. | ||
| It is for the veterans in this country that have already sacrificed so much for this country to turn this country around. | ||
| The one problem I got with some of the veterans in Congress, you play right into the globalists. | ||
| You play right into the globalists. | ||
| How can you possibly do that? | ||
| Knowing what you know, how can you play into what the globalists want to do? | ||
| They've led this country to the brink of the abyss. | ||
| Let me repeat, we have 10 million illegal alien invaders in this country. | ||
| And you just gotta see what's happening in New York City every day. | ||
| From the lobby of BlackRock, to the lobby of the New York Times, to Columbus Circle, to Grand Central Station, and hey baby, you think it's gonna get better? | ||
| I got news for you, the Israelis ain't backing off in Gaza. | ||
| And that thing's only gonna get tougher and tougher and uglier and uglier. | ||
| Sean Parnell, Captain Sean Parnell, 10th Mountain. | ||
| You've been over there. | ||
| Your book was amazing as a young officer. | ||
| Are we in a better place now, given all the sacrifice, you and your men, all the dead, all the casualties, all the sacrifice, all the broken families? | ||
| Are we in a better place now because of the sacrifice and the courage and valor of your troops? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| In fact, let me just say, first of all, it's great to be back on The War Room, but second of all, watching all these guests, I'm so fired up because the only politician in my lifetime, and I mean this, that has honored his commitment to the troops has been Donald Trump. | ||
| I mean, Democrat, Republican, leading up to these wars, these are the people that thought it was a great idea to depose autocrats all throughout the Middle East, which created, we went into Iraq, 20 years of failure in Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
| And again, I served in Afghanistan for 485 days, 16 months of heavy combat, hundreds of direct fire engagements, thousands of indirect fire engagements, 30 of my friends lost to the global war on terror. | ||
| And what do we have to show for 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan? | ||
| I mean, honestly, trillions of dollars in debt, thousands, tens of thousands of Americans wounded, hundreds of thousands of Americans suffering with the invisible wounds of war, thousands of Americans dead, millions of Afghans and Iraqis dead. | ||
| We created a vacuum in Iraq, which empowered one of our greatest foes in the region, Iran. | ||
| Republicans and Democrats both did this, Steve, both. | ||
| And I mean, obviously the animated corpse that is Joe Biden in the White House obviously makes the situation a hundred times worse. | ||
| But what does it say about the soul of a country that is going after the one man in my entire life? | ||
| Again, 20 years of war in Afghanistan, I'm 42 years old. | ||
| So over half my life, all of I've known, my professional career is known war in Afghanistan, right? | ||
| We're going after the one guy That pursued peace? | ||
| I mean, think about that ridiculous question that Caitlin Collins asked President Trump during that CNN town hall. | ||
| Do you want Russia or Ukraine to win this war? | ||
| Obviously an unfair question because they're just clearly trying to pave the way for a third Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| But President Trump rejected the premise of the question wholesale. | ||
| I want people to stop dying. | ||
| And that is how I measure leaders in today's day and age, is how hard they pursue peace. | ||
| Because I find that this country just stumbling and bumbling back into the same old mistakes that we made for the last 20 years. | ||
| I mean, we still have Americans trapped in certain countries, even in Afghanistan, and we're bumbling our way back into Ukraine and escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the likes of which that hardly any American truly understands how bad it will really get. | ||
| I know that was a long answer to a very simple question, but no, we are not better off today because politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, are just throwing this sacrifice away and it just makes me so mad. | ||
| Do you get concerned when you see, as disunited as they are, and they're all at each other's throats, in Riyadh, they have an emergency Arab League summit, and you've got the Turks show up, the Persians show up, the Egyptians show up, all the Gulf Emirates show up, and they say, we're united, and the red line is Jerusalem. | ||
| Does that cause you a level of concern? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, it does. | |
| Because Americans, it doesn't seem like they've woken up to the threat. | ||
| And you talked about it yourself, 10 million migrants coming into this country over the last three years. | ||
| Under President Trump, four years of his presidency, 435,000. | ||
| So if you think that leadership doesn't matter and that, you know, electing the right leaders doesn't matter, it does. | ||
| And we've got to elect President Trump in 2024 because the soul of this country is on the line. | ||
| and everything is on the line. | ||
| So he's the guy that can turn the ship around because he's already done it. | ||
| Sean, just hang on for one second. | ||
| Captain Sean Parnell, 10th Mountain. | ||
| You got Captain Banner from the 101st. | ||
| We got Petty Officer Second Class Taige Gill from the Navy SEAL, SEAL Team 5, on next at World. | ||
|
unidentified
|
♪♪ Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. | |
| Oh Oh Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Sean Parnell, how do people get you and get the book you wrote about your experience? | ||
| I just want to remember, you were 485 days of continuous combat in Afghanistan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, 485 days and somehow, you know, I could probably vote in their elections and they're probably more secure than the elections that we have here. | |
| But you can get Outlaw Platoon anywhere books are sold. | ||
| And I just started a new show on Rumble. | ||
| So I'm over, I got booted off of YouTube real quickly, but I'm on Rumble. | ||
| So go over to Rumble at Sean Parnell USA or I've got a Sean Parnell, my show is Battleground Live. | ||
| I'm over there on Rumble. | ||
| So subscribe to that page. | ||
| It's free. | ||
| But Steve, I want to tell you, it's awesome to be back in action on War Room. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| No, look, your experience in that book should be read. | ||
| I mean, it's amazing what you got, what American troops went through. | ||
| I don't think people, you know, because I think the thing happened is such a blur and the mainstream media didn't cover it. | ||
| That's why the voices of veterans need to come to the forefront now. | ||
| We're at the early stages of the kinetic part of the Third World War. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party has been at unrestricted warfare for us for years. | ||
| Veterans, not just to stick up for veterans in the VA and all the great philanthropic work, but now we need the veterans to step up to the plate and be the leader of this movement. | ||
| You guys got to be the leaders of this movement to make sure that we don't get sucked into a situation like the guns of August, where we're just sucked into another global conflict. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, look, I mean, when Americans don't realize... Your voice is going to be at the forefront of that. | |
| It will be. | ||
| It will be. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| And Americans should know, and the war room posse should know, the War College, their generals, or our strategic level leaders, just released a report saying that in a conventional fight, which is where America is headed, we'll sustain 3,600 casualties a week, and in two weeks a clip, both Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
| And just released a report saying that the all-volunteer force is completely obsolete. | ||
| So what does that mean going forward in a fight in Ukraine against a potential Russian horde and an asymmetric threat in the Middle East? | ||
| It means that your son or daughter could be called up to fight at a moment's notice, drafted or conscripted into a force. | ||
| If you got a Ukrainian flag in your bio, do you support the war that much that you're willing to send your own son and daughter to die? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| So it's time for Americans to wake up and see what's happening in this country because we're not going down a good path. | ||
| Sean Parnell, thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got it, Steve. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Let's make sure we get, let's make sure we push out his new Rumble show. | ||
| Captain Bannon, I know you got to bounce. | ||
| You've been very focused on veterans in the VA. | ||
| What's your message to our audience about, with all the sacrifice that was given, and all people talk about the veterans all the time, We still have forgotten our veterans. | ||
| We can go in any city, it breaks your heart. | ||
| The illegal immigrants are in nice hotels and the veterans are wandering around the streets. | ||
| Tell me what's going on and what can we do to make it better. | ||
| So I want the War Room Posse to know, like you said, that we're treating our illegal immigrants better than we are treating our veterans. | ||
| We need to push for mental health care, especially for our veterans. | ||
| Like all of the guests this morning have said, and many of them have multiple combat deployments, you go over there over and over and over again and then come back and there is a silent killer PTSD. | ||
| We need to focus on the underlying cause of these veterans' PTSD and treat it. | ||
| We need to get focused on that. | ||
| Even if you aren't a veteran in the War Room Posse, push for your representatives to focus on mental health care for veterans. | ||
| We can't keep letting it go undetected, untreated, because that's why we have 22-plus veteran suicides a day, which is Ridiculous. | ||
| It should be zero. | ||
| We should be treating our veterans with better care than they deserve it for everything that they've given. | ||
| And as we've seen from the guests this morning on the show, we took an oath of office as veterans when we were in on active duty in service. | ||
| To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. | ||
| And as you've seen from every guest on the show this morning, that oath did not just end when we hung up our uniform. | ||
| We have continued to honor that oath out of uniform, and we will continue to fight because we gave so much for this country during our service, and we will continue to do so because we do not want to see the country go down in shambles. | ||
| These young men and women volunteered. | ||
| Captain Bannon, what's your social media? | ||
| Where do people get you? | ||
| They can follow me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon and also on Instagram at Real Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Captain Bannon, thank you very much. | ||
| Thanks for doing this. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Tej, give me your assessment. | ||
| What's your assessment of where we are? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Let's not forget about the Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| 13 Marines killed during that botched pullout. | ||
| $85 million or billion dollars in weapons left behind. | ||
| Taliban's one of the most well-equipped armies in the world now. | ||
| So that's another huge... I think it was intentional. | ||
| I think it was definitely intentional by the Biden regime. | ||
| And then let's talk about the petrodollar with unifying all the Gulf countries. | ||
| I think with this thing going on with Israel and the Palestinians, they're going to jack up the price of oil. | ||
| We used to be under Trump, we're producing enough oil. | ||
| We didn't need any oil from anywhere in the world. | ||
| So the oil is going to go up with BRICS, with Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. | ||
| They're going to start selling and buying oil in their own currencies and gold. | ||
| So the petrodollar is going to fall. | ||
| They're going to create their own banking system that's going to replace the swift banking system. | ||
| So we're not going to be able to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're going to get off the SWIFT system. | ||
| They're going to get off the dollars, the prime reserve currency. | ||
| They've got the resources. | ||
| They're now geopolitically. | ||
| And Biden's going to be the supplicant. | ||
| He's going to kiss Xi's ass on Wednesday in San Francisco. | ||
| And we're allowing him to meet because the Republican Party and McCarthy specifically didn't put forward the evidence that shows he took direct payments from senior intelligence assets at the Chinese Energy Company that would block him from ever sitting down with a Chinese official. | ||
| Tej, you started the coffee company as a veteran to make something of your life going forward, given all the sacrifice. | ||
| When you talk to all your buddies and men you fought with, did they think, as a veteran, given everything you guys achieved, did they think it was worth it? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, we went over there and fought for a purpose because of 9-11. | ||
| It was worth it when we did it, but now it seems like what we did was for nothing because the politicians have thrown it all away. | ||
| One under Obama, and then it's 100x under Biden. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Like I was talking about earlier, the whole Middle East is basically on fire. | ||
| Everything that we did over there has been undone. | ||
| All the, everything Trump did over there has been undone. | ||
| The economy is failing. | ||
| We have no southern border, which means we have no security. | ||
| And spiritually, the country is faltering because of this demoralization of our society and the perversion of our schools. | ||
| We need a major change if we're going to save America. | ||
| A great awakening. | ||
| Tej, hangover. | ||
| By the way, where do people go get Warpath Coffee? | ||
| We need the word posse on the ramparts, and this will jack you up in the morning to get to the ramparts. | ||
| By the way, Mariner's Blend, The Dark Roast, my favorite, but all of them are great. | ||
| Where do people go again, Tej? | ||
| The website is warpath.coffee. | ||
| That's warpath.coffee, and use promo code WAROOM. | ||
| You get 15% off this weekend, but the promo code will always be It'll be running continuously. | ||
| So for all the War Room posse, use code War Room whenever you buy coffee and we'll know you came from Steve Bannon's show. | ||
| Warpath.coffee. | ||
| Brother, just wait right there. | ||
| We'll get back to you. | ||
| Patrick K. O'Donnell. | ||
| The finest combat historian of his generation. | ||
| Patrick, this is the 11th hour, the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. | ||
| It was the end of the Great War, the Armistice. | ||
| It was supposed to end, it was the war to end all wars. | ||
| That was the sacrifice in the trenches in the Western Front. | ||
| Did it work out like that? | ||
| You're our top combat historian. | ||
| Did it work out like that, sir? | ||
| No, it didn't. | ||
| World War I was a source of great change. | ||
| In fact, more change in World War I, in many cases, than even World War II. | ||
| It changed the world in so many different ways. | ||
| It changed empires and turned them into democracies. | ||
| It also created new problems in the Middle East that we're still dealing with today. | ||
| It created the rise of America. | ||
| An American superpower came out of World War I. There was great change that came from World War I. But, you know, Armistice Day, as you mentioned, is what was Veterans Day, which is Veterans Day now. | ||
| An amazing and important day. | ||
| Why did we change it from Armistice Day? | ||
| It's still, it's still, it's Remembrance Day in England today and throughout Europe. | ||
| Why did we change it? | ||
| What was the change here to start to focus on veterans and not so much the end of the Great War? | ||
| Our first Armistice Day was in 1919. | ||
| President Wilson made it Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I and honor World War I veterans. | ||
| And then as the years passed, Patrick, can you hang over a second? | ||
| I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| We also have a very special guest on the other side. | ||
| 50s, it becomes Veterans Day to honor all veterans of all wars in their service and sacrifice. | ||
| Patrick, can you hang over a second? | ||
| I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We also have a very special guest on the other side. | ||
| I've got the top combat historian, Patrick K. O'Donnell, that was an inbed with the Marines in Fallujah and wrote an incredible book. | ||
| And then we've got one of the finest, not the finest, documentary filmmaker, Michael Pack, who was part of the Trump administration, is going to join me about his film. | ||
| The last 600 meters, which we're going to talk about a very special premiere of it and a very special potential of viewing. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody goes to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now. | ||
| The end of the dollar empire is four installments all free that you understand the politics of currency and how important currency is in the world economy, particularly the United States dollar. | ||
| You also start to understand the issues with this massive debt we have and why it will never be paid off, how it's bringing down this country. | ||
| Most importantly, you understand why the Chinese Communist Party and the BRICS nation are buying gold at record rates in 22 and 23. | ||
| And ask the folks, Philip Patrick and the team over there, explain that one to me. | ||
| Why are we focused on a central bank digital currency and our mortal enemies, the existential threat to the American Republic, Besides the administrative in Deep State? | ||
| Or buying gold at record rates? | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | ||
| Okay, Patrick O'Donnell, I got to bounce, but I want to leave this, because you were in bed with the Marines, and by the way, 248th commemoration of the birth of the United States Marine Corps, the legendary United States Marine Corps was yesterday, today Veterans Day. | ||
| Patrick, you were in bed in Fallujah. | ||
| Give us the title of the book. | ||
| I want to know where people get it, because if you want to understand even a scintilla what's happening in Gaza, this book you've got to read. | ||
| Patrick, give me the book, and where do people get it? | ||
| One, shoulder-to-shoulder with the Marines that were in Fallujah, and I was embedded combat historian, civilian, volunteer, fought house-to-house at the Marine Corps. | ||
| It's on the Commandant's Reading List as required reading for the Marine Corps. | ||
| Along with another book I have, Give Me Tomorrow, which is on the Korean War. | ||
| Veterans of George Company 3-1, same unit that was in Fallujah. | ||
| And the platoon I was in had some of the highest casualties of the battle. | ||
| We had over five that were killed in action, including one of the Marines that I mortally wounded that I pulled out of an ambush with Chechens that we're involved with. | ||
| It was a house to house brutal. | ||
| Many of the insurgents were on liquid adrenaline or Pervitin, which the Germans used in World War II. | ||
| So they took multiple hits with an M16 around to take down incredibly resilient fighters and determined. | ||
| And like I like to say, it was kind of a Star Wars bar of international terrorists from 18 different countries around the world. | ||
| It was a siren call for jihad. | ||
| And, uh, also origins, uh, Al Qaeda in Iraq was there and many others. | ||
| How did, how did Patrick, how did that change your, as a man? | ||
| It was a, uh, a life changing experience. | ||
| Uh, I barely survived the being, being there in Fallujah. | ||
| I was there from the very beginning of the battle with Marine recon conducting shaping operations. | ||
| I went to many years of Catholic school, but my faith was incredibly strengthened by that experience. | ||
| I wasn't afraid in many ways. | ||
| But it strengthened my faith for one. | ||
| I went to many years of Catholic school, but my faith was incredibly strengthened by that experience and I wasn't afraid in many ways. | ||
| I had a guiding hand that saved my life many times that I can't explain to this day, but I do have faith from that experience that really changed me. | ||
| And also the brotherhood of the men that I was with in that battle. | ||
| And the confidence that I saw in the strength and resilience of those Marines was incredible, Steve. | ||
| We're talking about the next greatest generation men that would go from one house to another. | ||
| And not quit, even though the casualties were mounting from a platoon that went from, you know, 60 men or so down to under 20. | ||
| And you talk, Patrick K. O'Donnell wrote the definitive Give Me Tomorrow about the Chosin Reservoir and what happened there. | ||
| Patrick, where do people get, particularly a new book, where do they go now to order to find out all the great combat histories you put out, the first person accounts? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| It's at Combat Historian on X or Twitter, as well as Gitter. | ||
| And then my website, PatrickKODonald.com. | ||
| And I'm just super thrilled that I just finished another book on the Civil War called The Unvanquished, which I'm extremely proud of after six years of intense research. | ||
| I can't wait for it. | ||
| It's going to be very special. | ||
| Patrick K. O'Donnell, thank you very much. | ||
| We'll drive everybody to your site as we always do. | ||
| You're beloved by the War Room Posse, so thank you. | ||
| I love the War Room Posse. | ||
| It's an honor to be on the show, Steve. | ||

| A extraordinary filmmaker, an extraordinary film. | ||
| The Last 600 Meters by Michael Pack. | ||
| We're going to play a short introduction and then bring in the filmmaker. | ||

|
Let's go ahead and hit it. | |
| So, I arrived about 20 minutes, 15 minutes after this fight had begun. | ||
| And it was at, I guess I would call it a bit of a stalemate. | ||
| And the reason I say a stalemate is because Wounded Marine inside. | ||
| Staff Sergeant Chandler organizes a rescue party. | ||
| They run in the room, try and shoot everything that moves so they can pull this Marine out. | ||
| As soon as they run in, what do the enemy do? | ||
| They're smart. | ||
| They throw grenades in the room. | ||
| As they walk in the room, they blow up. | ||
| Now I've got two more Marines wounded. | ||
| The other two wounded Marines fall into the kitchen, and they're trapped in this kitchen. | ||
| So now I've got four Marines trapped in the house, because no one can go in this living room without getting blown up. | ||
| Another rescue party goes in, led by a corporal. | ||
| Corporal Wolf. | ||
| Goes in with a sergeant, and they try and go in. | ||
| Corporal Wolf gets shot in his flak jacket, falls on the floor. | ||
| Sergeant Byron Norwood gets shot in the head. | ||
| Killed. | ||
| Instantly. | ||
| Then First Sergeant Brad Castle realizes that there are men in extremist hurt. | ||
| He can hear the screams. | ||
| He enters the house. | ||
| He grabs Marines nearby, takes them in with him, begins to develop the situation inside the house and in the process of maneuvering to an empty room. | ||
| Engages and kills a man at close quarters and is wounded in the process by a enemy above him. | ||
| And in fact, he and his partner, his buddy Lance Corporal Nichols, both are stitched down their legs with AK-47 fire. | ||
| These guys are in a very good position, the enemy. | ||
| There's not a very easy way to get to them. | ||
| And at the same time, all of these rooms, this structure is very solid. | ||
| The construction in Iraq is very sturdy. | ||
| Steel rebar, reinforced concrete, and sometimes triple layer brick. | ||
| You couldn't shoot a missile through some of these walls. | ||
| So we couldn't bring any heavy weapons to bear. | ||
| Couldn't bring any grenades to bear because we had too many of our own men wounded on the inside. | ||
| So basically all we could use was... | ||
| Our hands and our guns. | ||
| So another Marine, PFC Boswood and myself started taking this sledgehammer to the steel grate of this window. | ||
| So the lieutenant goes in without their protective vests and plates on, etc. | ||
| through the bars of a window that they managed to pull aside. | ||
| This all in extremis. | ||
| There's firing going on. | ||
| There are grenades being thrown in the house. | ||
| There's groups of Marines separated and trapped by this very effective defense scheme. | ||
| And Grapes goes in with Boswood They identify the threat above them. | ||
| They work out a scenario to suppress the enemy above them. | ||
| We got four or five guns pointed up at these positions, and just like you'd imagine with a countdown, okay, you ready? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| You know, okay, well, we're going to go on three. | ||
| You know, make sure you don't run in front of our guns because we're going to be shooting. | ||
| And the old, ready, set, go. | ||
| And then we start unloading on these guys upstairs and these two selfless Marines. | ||
| We had to run across this kill zone, not once, not twice, but four times, to pull Marines out of there. | ||
| And we had some Marines in some pretty bad situations. | ||
| Lance Corporal Nick, or PFC Nickel, was bleeding really bad from his leg. | ||
| First Sergeant Castle was carried out by those two Marines who aren't carrying any weapons, but still holding his weapon, ready to fight. | ||
| They were in bad shape, so we had to get them out of there as quickly as possible. | ||
| But we still had these two guys in the house, and they weren't going anywhere, and we weren't going anywhere until the job was done. | ||
| They managed to get everybody out of the house alive, and Byron. | ||
| They managed to get Sergeant Norwood out of the house. | ||
| The last 600 meters, it is an incredible experience to watch. | ||
| We're going to be premiering it later today. | ||
| I'm going to give you more information about that. | ||
| The Battles of Fallujah, Najaf, and Second Fallujah. | ||
| And Second Fallujah, I think folks will tell you, one of the hardest fights the legendary Marine Corps has ever had. | ||
| The director, Michael Pack, joins us now. | ||
| Michael, tell us about the film. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think that's a great introduction. | |
| I mean, we made the film in 2008. | ||
| Steve, you were an executive producer, so we made it together. | ||
| And it's about these battles, biggest battles in the Iraq War. | ||
| And, you know, this day, today, Veterans Day, we need to celebrate these veterans. | ||
| I mean, I really, these people are heroes. | ||
| I mean, you can see, I mean, Just listening to Jesse Grape speak, I mean, it's just, even those few minutes, he's an incredible person. | ||
| He'd never call himself a hero. | ||
| They hate that term. | ||
| They've never forgiven me for using that term, talking to you, Steve, but it's really hard to actually avoid. | ||
| I mean, so we made this film. | ||
| The principal funder was the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. | ||
| And as you know, Steve, I've made 15 films that have all been nationally broadcast on public television over the last several decades. | ||
| This one, which they actually mainly funded, is the first they ever turned down. | ||
| PBS turned it down because, in their mind, it was too pro-military. | ||
| They accused me of using some sort of central casting bias to get these great Marines and soldiers and airmen like Jesse Grapes, but I didn't do that. | ||
| I couldn't do that. | ||
| I could never manipulate the Marine Corps. | ||
| These are the people who did the fighting. | ||
| And it isn't really pro-military or pro-or anti-the war. | ||
| It celebrates these people and what they've done. | ||
| I mean, we try to tell it as a battle story, as if it were Gettysburg or Iwo Jima. | ||
| And really, I think it deserves to be remembered like those. | ||
| And the heroism is great. | ||
| So I'm very appreciative that you're celebrating it here on Veterans Day. | ||
| That is really appropriate. | ||
| I think it's an amazing story. | ||
| I've got it. | ||
| By the way, the film is breathtaking. | ||
| And when you see it, you're going to want to see it again. | ||
| And you want to share it. | ||
| And this film has never been released. | ||
| We did a couple of small premieres. | ||
| We showed it to the Marine Corps General Kelly at the time. | ||
| Many of the Marines said it's the best film about the actual fighting of a Marine rifle company. | ||
| Real quick, I got a couple of minutes on this side, Michael, I'll hold you over. | ||
| This is the irony of the film. | ||
| When you first started and went to PBS, you were making, I remember you talked to me, you were making a movie about how technology had changed war in the 21st century. | ||
| And you came from your research to understand, we're back to the most brutal type of war, door-to-door, room-by-room, with men having to put their lives on the line every day. | ||
| Michael Pack. | ||
|

|
That is right. | |
| I mean, even in that little clip that you just showed, you know, Jesse Graves, they can't bring artillery to bear. | ||
| He goes in through a window into a house, you know, where people have been riddled with machine gun fire. | ||
| I mean, it's just incredible. | ||
| I mean, you know, technology gave us something of an advantage there. | ||
| I mean, we interviewed the pilot that was providing air cover. | ||
| But at the end of the day, it is really about heroism. | ||
| And these men, women, make that really clear. | ||
| So yes, I changed the film from what it was originally. | ||
| You know, the great thing about making documentaries is they're a journey. | ||
| You know, you start one place, but you never end where you started. | ||
| You know, you learn things, you think about things, you listen to people. | ||
| And this was a story that really needed to be told. | ||
| Other people weren't telling it, and it still needs to be told. | ||
| You know, now that Israel is fighting a very similar war in Gaza, it is more relevant than ever. | ||
| This is why the second Fallujah is so relevant. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| The other thing about this film, there's not a rah-rah moment in it. | ||
| This is no kind of fake emotion. | ||
| This is just people looking into a camera. | ||
| And telling you exactly what went on in the hand-to-hand combat of Fallujah, Najaf, and Second Fallujah. | ||
| This film will change you. | ||
| It will change your perspective of what the military, the voluntary military, really goes through. | ||
| The real story. | ||
| From their own words. | ||
| Unfiltered. | ||
| The last 600 meters. | ||
| We're going to premiere it this afternoon. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Back in a moment. | |
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bannett. | ||
| OK, Congress is going to come back. | ||
| There's going to be a massive fight because right now the regime runs out of money and they got to shut down on midnight on the 17th. | ||
| And of course, we're taking the hardest line of all. | ||
| Nobody's done their work. | ||
| The House has closed, but it's got to shut down. | ||
| It's got to shut down until you seal the border and start making massive cuts to these deficits. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| Got to be shut down. | ||
| Also, she, the two days before, she comes to the Bay Area so that Biden can kowtow to him, be a supplicant, and they're the ones that need a bailout from us. | ||

It's important for my son. I'm running it, actually. | |
| You may remember him as a little baby, Steven. | ||
| That's how he was when he was little. | ||
| He grew up. | ||
| Or at least a little kid. | ||
| I think he was maybe a bit of his teens. | ||
| Our very last documentary was about Clarence Thomas called Created Equal. | ||
| Clarence Thomas in his own words. | ||
| And that's streaming in lots of places. | ||
| You can find that on our website, but it's at Amazon, but it's also at Fox Nation, and Daily Wire, and Salem, and many other places. | ||
| The one before that, which Steve also executive produced, is called Rickover, The Birth of Nuclear Power, and that too is streaming on Amazon and other places. | ||
| My favorite film. | ||
