| More actually, and on Bill Maher's show, this is in 2016, and I want to let you listen to what he said about how we should have seen what was coming because Brexit happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Take a look. | |
| And I have to say, I mean, I'm sorry to have to kind of be the buzzkill here so early on, but I think Trump is going to win. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I live in Michigan. | ||
| Let me tell you. | ||
| Let me tell you. | ||
| It's going to be the Brexit strategy. | ||
| The middle of England is Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. | ||
| And Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. | ||
| The total electoral votes of those four states in the Rust Belt, 64. | ||
| I mean, I doubted it that night. | ||
| He was right, you know, Ruth. | ||
| And the signs that we're seeing again, you're already seeing threats from Donald Trump's people, sweeping raids, giant camps, mass deportations. | ||
| He's already saying that's what's going to happen, the kind of rhetoric. | ||
| And the far right, you know, the consolidation of that kind of thing and normalization of it, it does feel like a warning sign. | ||
| And to me, Builders, Trump isn't, Builders isn't another Trump. | ||
| Trump is another Builders in a way, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, and that's why he's in my book, Trump. | |
| And it was a struggle to have him in my book, and it's been a struggle to get Americans to see him as an authoritarian. | ||
| It's in part because we're very wedded to this idea that we are a democracy where these things can't happen. | ||
| I mean, we had a coup attempt and people are not quite able to digest that we had a coup attempt that came far closer to succeeding than many realize. | ||
| And, you know, Trump has been conditioning people to find violence. | ||
| Attractive to say it's justified, sometimes it's patriotic. | ||
| He's conditioned people, along with all of his enablers, Fox News and the GOP, to have little faith in elections and now to dehumanize immigrants. | ||
| The whole checklist, the whole playbook, he's done now for, you know, six, seven years very effectively. | ||
| So there's zero reason, in my mind, having done research that shows Every people who faced authoritarians thought that they were in denial. | ||
| They thought that it wasn't going to happen to them. | ||
| And we are no different. | ||
| And we already had a coup attempt. | ||
| That's the biggest, which one of our two major parties not only does not reject, but has integrated the methods and philosophy of this coup into their party dogma. | ||
| So the danger is high. | ||
| ... could kick off with yet another threat of a government shutdown. | ||
| No government funding bills are scheduled to be brought to the House floor this week, and House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing increasing pressure from hard-right Republicans over what they will consider acceptable funding legislation. | ||
| Lawmakers face a mid-January deadline to fund the government or enter a partial government shutdown with another deadline looming in early February. | ||
| So, joining us now, Chief Washington Correspondent for The New York Times, Carl Hulse. | ||
| His latest reporting is entitled, Behind Johnson's Rise, A GOP Consumed by the Far Right. | ||
| And in it, Hulse, you break down how mainstream Republicans believed they could harness the party's far-right populist forces, but instead, they were completely overrun by them. | ||
| I want to ask you about how that happened, but first, what do we know Um, in terms of just how far right Speaker Johnson is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he's a very, very conservative lawmaker from a very conservative part of the country, Treeport, Louisiana. | |
| I think he's the most conservative, certainly culturally, speaker we've had, certainly since the old days. | ||
| So, yeah, he describes himself as an ultra-conservative, so I think, you know, he may say it best. | ||
| He's definitely on the far right of even House Republicans. | ||
| And so now, explain what you say has happened as they try to sort of harness some of the, you know, the spirit of the far-right. | ||
| They've become, the party itself, overrun. | ||
| And are you at all conflating far-right with Trumpy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think Trumpism was part of what happened. | |
| Remember, the Tea Party sprang up in 2009 in response to the big Democratic wins. | ||
| Republicans were really feeling that they were going to be on the outs for a long time. | ||
| There was this backlash to Obama, and so speakers like John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and ultimately Kevin McCarthy, they weren't part of that movement, but they thought they could take advantage Let me have it, guys. | ||
| Tuesday, 28th November, Year of the Lord 2023. | ||
| We got more of that to play and to bring the show in, but I think we've heard enough. | ||
| Mike Johnson, who is part of the movement, but you referred to the spending issues. | ||
| Let me have it, guys. | ||
| Tuesday, 28 November, Year of the Lord 2023. | ||
| We got more of that to play and to bring the show in. | ||
| But I think we've heard enough. | ||
| Of course, by the way, being far right now means that you want a balanced budget and you want the invasion of our nation to stop and you don't want to fund the Ukraine war anymore and you know the vaccines are poison. | ||
| That's far right. | ||
| All topics of which you're correct on. | ||
| Overnight, overnight, 61 billion dollars added to the national debt. | ||
| Overnight, 61 billion dollars. | ||
| On the 18th of September, Just over 60 days ago, we passed $33 trillion. | ||
| This morning, as we speak, we're at $33.8 trillion. | ||
| We will pass, my number is, we will pass $34 trillion on the morning of 28 December of this year. | ||
| That will be 100 days and additional trillion dollars. | ||
| And what are they arguing up there right now? | ||
| They're arguing about, oh, they're going to put some gimmicks on the board. | ||
| Here's what the Senate is spending all their time on. | ||
| How to jam through a $60-80 billion financing of the corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine with money not only don't we have, the Chinese won't even lend it to us. | ||
| We're just going to have to print it. | ||
| On adding a trillion dollars of debt. | ||
| One trillion dollars in 100 days. | ||
| As we call it, the interest expense next year is going to be over a trillion dollars. | ||
| Just everybody understand, we are never going to pay off one penny of the principal amount of the debt. | ||
| We are going to scramble, scramble just to make the interest payments and to keep everything else tied together. | ||
| I want to start off with Rahim Kassam. | ||
| Rahim, you were Nigel's wingman on Brexit. | ||
| You saw the beginning. | ||
| Michael Mork, a total called shot. | ||
| He absolutely nailed our strategy for when I stepped in the hundred days was to focus on the the blue wall up there because you could see we had seen the polling that it was coming our way and all we had to do was drive the message and get President Trump out there then candidate Trump in front of people. | ||
| They're petrified today of the polling, of Barrister's polling, and the Rust Belt, what we've gone on for the last couple of days. | ||
| What are your thoughts of where we stand? | ||
| And particularly Johnson, and Speaker Johnson's a good man, but he's no fire breather. | ||
| And he is, let's be brutally frank about this, in Speaker Johnson's office ought to take this to heart. | ||
| We support him. | ||
| He's a good man. | ||
| However, he's got to get on top of the math here. | ||
| Some of the statements he's making is just more happy clappy. | ||
| And the impeachment inquiry that we're going to get in the J6, they're fine, but we're not going to treat those as shiny toys. | ||
| They have to be done, but they're not shiny toys. | ||
| They're not going to get us off the central issue of the day. | ||
| And that is the inextricably linked nature of the invasion of our southern border with 10 million illegal aliens led in here by the Biden regime that is directly linked to the financial collapse of the United States of America. | ||
| Rahim Ghassan, your thoughts? | ||
| Yeah, Steve, and belated happy birthday, by the way. | ||
| I look at this as one large issue, not separate issues, right? | ||
| They all play into each other and that's how we looked at them back in 2016 as well, right? | ||
| That's how we looked at the membership of the European Union. | ||
| It's how we looked at the media apparatus. | ||
| It's how we looked at my country, Britain's debt. | ||
| At the time, how many people were coming into the country at the time, which, you know, irony of all ironies, you look at Rishi Sunak's government in the United Kingdom now, and they're actually importing far more people than they were prior to that Brexit vote. | ||
| And so you have to consider it from this perspective, right? | ||
| You say, you say, you know, Mike Johnson, good man, sure he is, conservative guy, sure he is. | ||
| But is he a declinist? | ||
| You know, you can still be a good man, a conservative man, a mugger man and still kind of have in the back of your mind, OK, well, the nation's in decline. | ||
| We're just going to try and like soften the blows, soften the landing, pull the parachute a bit earlier. | ||
| And of course, Kevin McCarthy, the reason that Kevin McCarthy was ousted was not some personal beef. | ||
| It wasn't one issue or another. | ||
| It wasn't the January 6th tapes. | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| It was everything as a whole. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy was an American declinist. | ||
| So that's how you have to perceive all of this now, and that's what next year is going to be about. | ||
| You look at all of the numbers, the data, the polling, the focus groups, all the testing from left pollsters, right pollsters, even Ron DeSantis' own pollsters, which did a study for NBC News alongside Hart Research, which showed that abortion is the single largest issue for single issue voters, which is an extraordinary thing, and it gets us on to a point where you have to understand | ||
| that you don't have to cede moral ground, you don't have to cede philosophical ground on this issue, but you do need to start learning how to talk about the issue and how to bring people over to your side on the issue. | ||
| It's actually not all that different from talking about something like Brexit, from talking about something like leaving the European Union, which, you know, back in the early 90s, Was a three or four percent popularity issue by 2016 obviously won a majority of the votes and it was and it was not the issue didn't change right didn't change actually what we wanted to do we still actually got out of the European Union Still unpacking a lot of it, but that was always going to be the case. | ||
| But we changed how we talked about the issue. | ||
| And I think when you look at issues like that, they're going to focus there. | ||
| The reason you hear all these people talk about, you know, our democracy and the institutions and all of that is that's another one. | ||
| It's another salient point. | ||
| Where the left believes that it can convince single issue voters, and that's what the data is showing us right now. | ||
| I happen to believe that on that second issue, on the democracy issue and all of that, I think it's a farce. | ||
| I think their messaging is a farce, and I don't think it particularly lands very well. | ||
| But on the abortion issue, they do land punches, and they land punches on ballot measures across the country, and they land punches on the debate stage. | ||
| Okay, hang on. | ||
| What I want to do is play... We have a clip of your amazing interview with President Trump. | ||
| I want to play that. | ||
| We will go to break, or essentially come close to going to break, and then we'll bring you back for your analysis. | ||
| Let's play. | ||
| I want to play this because this is what could stand between victory and defeat. | ||
| Let's play Rahim's interview with President Trump about this topic. | ||
| You're putting this thing forward now on abortion to say, hey, listen, the country is sick of having this argument all the time. | ||
| They actually want a solution to it, right? | ||
| But if the Democrats now come back, right, so you don't have to explain this to me, but if the Democrats come back to you and say, no, we're not interested in a deal with you, are you willing to then say, well, look, we tried, now these Republicans are going to do what they're going to do? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But the Democrats are the radicals, because they're willing to, remember I said during my debate with Hillary, No longer crooked, Hillary. | ||
| I call her beautiful, Hillary, because I've used the word crooked for Joe Biden because it's so accurate. | ||
| And I don't like doing, you know, with enough words, you don't have to use the same word with two people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But I said, rip the baby out of the womb in the seventh, eighth, ninth month. | ||
| And that really shook people up. | ||
| Nobody ever heard of the term. | ||
| You know, I never knew the term before that debate. | ||
| I just, we were talking about it. | ||
| And I said, she's willing to rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month. | ||
| No Democrat wants that, meaning almost no Democrat. | ||
| There are some probably that don't care. | ||
| But like the grassroots Democrats don't want that. | ||
| Yeah, but they don't want that. | ||
| So they're really the radical, because that's what we don't want to do. | ||
| I think something can happen. | ||
| This is an issue that's been going on for 52 years. | ||
| I was able to end it. | ||
| That gave tremendous negotiating power to the pro-life movement. | ||
| Tremendous negotiating power. | ||
| Because they can't do the things that they used to be able to do. | ||
| The pro-life was fighting it. | ||
| We have these groups fighting this thing for so many decades. | ||
| But it's exactly 52 years as of a date in the not-too-distant future. | ||
| That's a lot of money. | ||
| Everybody's raising money all the time. | ||
| Everybody, I don't know, maybe it's some kind of a business. | ||
| I don't know what's going on, but everybody was amazed that I was able to do it. | ||
| And I put them in a great negotiating position, and we don't want to blow it. | ||
| This is an incredible thing that happened. | ||
| And we also bring it back to the States, which everybody, all legal scholars, both sides wanted it brought back to the States. | ||
| We did a lot of things. | ||
| We're in a tremendous position to negotiate something very good right now. | ||
| And we'll see what that is. | ||
| Wow, Rahim, what an incredible interview. | ||
| Incredible interview. | ||
| You clean up pretty nicely, too. | ||
| I notice you're not as cleaned up when you come into the War Room, but hey, just saying. | ||
| Incredible interview. | ||
| Let's take a short break. | ||
| We're going to bring Raheem Kassam back, which could be the single issue that tries to chop block us, as it has chop blocked a lot since the Dobbs decision. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| break. Back in the war rooms. Raheem Kassam in a moment. | ||

|
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Rahim, great interview with the President. | ||
| Tell me, why is that clip, why is that part of your interview so important, and how does it link to our cold open? | ||
| Where the Democrats understand that they can see the numbers, too. | ||
| They can see the math of what's happening here. | ||
| This tectonic plate shift that's coming our way. | ||
| Link them both together. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what is the solution? | |
| Yeah, well, the way it stands at the moment, Steve, is that the political left are clearly finding that they are having to chip away at very specific things in very specific neighborhoods. | ||
| They actually now think, and I think they're correct in thinking this, that their path is very narrow in 2024. | ||
| And so they're really trying to figure out, you know, where on the peripheries they can chip away. | ||
| And unfortunately, the way the political right has spoken about the abortion issue, you know, mostly pre-Trump and dealt with it. | ||
| is somewhere where they find they can make headway, especially, as I said before the break, with the single-issue voters. | ||
| That is what all of the data is pointing to at the moment. | ||
| And again, what President Trump is saying in that interview, and what he's been saying, and Carrie Lake is fantastic at talking about this as well, is not that the conservative position on this needs to change. | ||
| It's the way of talking about the issue that needs to change. | ||
| Firstly, of course, It is the left that are the radicals on abortion. | ||
| It is the left that are the extremists on that. | ||
| And that needs to be shown and explained to the left base, to the generic Democrat ballot voting base. | ||
| That can be done relatively easily. | ||
| But the thing that's in the way, the roadblock here, is actually not Anyone from the left, the roadblock on getting that message across is actually what I call pro-life inc. | ||
| these institutional pro-life groups that have existed for the last 50 odd years that have become so used to a certain way of thinking, talking and fundraising of that issue that they actually don't feel equipped and don't feel willing to pivot, certainly not pivoting to the way that Donald Trump talks about the issue. | ||
| So, personally, I believe that he is in a much better position on this than the institutional pro-life movement. | ||
| I think they should be following instead of trying to bash him over the head on certain things just because he doesn't take their line on it. | ||
| I don't think the conservative movement in this country can afford to keep making the same mistakes, to keep losing elections all across the country as a result of that issue. | ||
| And it does keep coming up. | ||
| Their tactics are wrong. | ||
| The way they speak about it is shown to be a failure. | ||
| And I think personally, the way Trump and Carrie Lake talk about this issue is far more compelling to people. | ||
| I could have pulled five or six stories off of National Pulse this morning to talk about how do people get there, how do they get involved, how do they make that part of their diet, like Gateway Pundit, Citizens Free Press, etc., National Pulse. | ||
| How do you make it part of the staple of someone's media diet early in the morning? | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Well, the first thing I would do is make sure you have the app, the National Pulse app. | ||
| It's in the App Store, Android and iOS, the Apple App Store. | ||
| The National Pulse. | ||
| You go to thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| Make sure that's in your browser. | ||
| Sign up for the in-browser notifications. | ||
| And the most critical part of this is, in the new year, we've solidified this site now. | ||
| We're pumping out fast, accurate, intriguing news stories for people. | ||
| We don't waste your time. | ||
| We don't blast ads at you all day long. | ||
| We're not interested in that. | ||
| We want to grow the site, and we need people's help to do that. | ||
| One of the things we've done is we've got so many thousands of members now that we're launching a gift subscription. | ||
| So for Christmas, you can purchase your friends, your family members, your colleagues, A gift subscription to The National Pulse, where you get all sorts of extras, right? | ||
| You get my editor's notes. | ||

| We're going to be making movies. | ||
| Lots of different things that you get for that. | ||

| So go to TheNationalPulse.com forward slash gift and give the gift of real news this Christmas. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| People got to go. | ||
| The National Pulse is hot, as Trump would say, in this your breakdown between American declinist. | ||
| And we haven't talked about the accelerationist in that regard. | ||
| We'll have you back on about that. | ||
| But your thoughts on the pro-life situation is absolutely dead spot on, as is the president. | ||
| So thank you, Raheem. | ||
| Raheem, what's your social media? | ||
| Besides going to National Pulse, where do people get you for all your vitriol? | ||
| Yeah, the Twitter and the X, that's a different brand of Raheem. | ||
| That's just at Rahim Kassam. | ||
| If you like things a little bit spicier, if you like to get a little bit more down and dirty, let's say, especially with a lot of the DeSantis supporters who are very angry in my replies every day, that's at Rahim Kassam on all the platforms. | ||
| Rahim, thank you so much. | ||
| Let's go to Steve Stern. | ||
| The precinct committee strategy paid off. | ||
| I guess you're vice chairman. | ||
| Steve, tell us what happened down in Florida. | ||
| I was very lucky. | ||
| We had a new chair. | ||
| You see, I'm all dressed up for your show today, and usually I wear my flag shirt, but today I'm dressed up for President Trump and for you, and I was very lucky. | ||
| I was in Europe. | ||
| I was campaigning from Europe. | ||
| People didn't understand how I was doing that, but I did it. | ||
| I got 70% of the vote thanks to our chair, Chris Marino, who's the fantastic chair. | ||
| We're going to turn Broward County red. | ||
| We're going to double the size of our executive committee. | ||
| We have 285 people. | ||
| I can guarantee you, you know I'm going to do it. | ||
| We're going to get 500 people because I'm all action, action, action. | ||
| Also want to thank Richard DiNapoli for helping me also in this thing. | ||
| And when you run a campaign, you have to learn because I've never ran a campaign before. | ||
| So I did this in four weeks and it was fantastic. | ||
| So what we're going to do, you know, we talk about precinct strategy. | ||
| Dan Schultz wrote the book. | ||
| I want people to go to www.precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| We must get the people involved. | ||
| We're talking about getting people involved. | ||
| We're talking about Trump getting elected. | ||
| So here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to have a big We're going to have an election security talk on Monday, along with precinct strategy. | ||
| We have a big Zoom, December 4th. | ||
| It's a holiday Zoom. | ||
| We're going to have the Republican actual party on it, Christine Norton, who's the election integrity czar there. | ||
| She's going to have her assistant or her come on, John Cervalli. | ||
| He's brand new, but he's going to talk about getting 60,000 more election poll workers. | ||
| That's their goal. | ||
| We're going to help them. | ||
| Recently, about a month and a half ago, I did an interview with Moms for America. | ||
| So I want to tell you what they're doing. | ||
| They're getting 129,000 people to talk about precinct strategy and getting it involved. | ||
| You can see right there, they're going to send out a big media thing. | ||
| I'm going to be on their Zoom coming out in a couple of weeks. | ||
| Lots are going to happen. | ||
| Uh, our buddy Mike Lindell is helping us with his 300,000 people, so we need to get the people involved. | ||
| You know this and I do this. | ||
| Now, we're getting a lot of people, uh, to run. | ||
| Uh, we started a pack called draintheswampusa.com to help people and candidates get elected, so we're working very hard on this. | ||
| Uh, if you have a candidate that wants to get elected, Let us know. | ||
|

|
We'll put him in there if you want to get a hold of me to get involved. | |
| Steve, what is this? | ||
| Give me the conference call. | ||
| What are you having to get everybody focused on election integrity? | ||
| Because I gave an interview last night with Don Jr. | ||
| and said, hey, we've got to get all this together, organize it, get it hardwired into the campaign. | ||
| It's got to report up to President Trump or we're going to have a fiasco like 24. | ||
| When is this conference call you're having that people can join? | ||
| When is it? | ||

| Yoram Hazanik joins us from Old Miss. | ||
| Yoram, are you giving, did you give a talk last night or are you going to give a talk tonight? | ||
| Tonight. | ||
| Can people still attend? | ||
| Is it open attendance? | ||
| Is there some site we can send people to? | ||
| Before we go to break, tell us about the talk and where do people go? | ||
| Well, you can go to my Twitter feed at Y-H-A-Z-O-N-Y, Y-H-A-Z-O-N-Y, and I posted the advertisement for the talk tonight at Ole Miss. | ||
| I'm glad that in Mississippi they want to hear the news from Israel. | ||
| No, God bless them. | ||
| The MAGA's got your back. | ||
| The question, and think about the answer, because I want you to answer it. | ||
| We're going to go to break here in a second. | ||
| I got to tell you, I'm not feeling it. | ||
| I don't like this pause. | ||
| Understand the story about the hostages. | ||
| Their treatment is horrible. | ||
| It's horrible anytime people have hostages, particularly when they're women and young children. | ||
| But I'm quite disturbed that Qatar is actually leading the negotiation, and that nest of vipers is really the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the financing for the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| Hamas is sitting over there with $10 billion, living like English lords back in the 16th century. | ||
| It's bad all over. | ||
| I just don't know. | ||
| And every day in the American media, it's, oh, we have to have a pause that leads to a ceasefire, that leads to some sort of compromise. | ||
| Are we going to get back to the actual business at hand, which is destroying the Muslim Brotherhood's franchisee? | ||
| That would be Hamas in Gaza, the entire military infrastructure. | ||
| Yoram Hazani, one of the leading public intellectuals about nationalism, is going to join us on the other side. | ||
|

We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more left. | |

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Okay, breaking. Jonathan Karl over at ABC, this tweet, and if we can get it up later, and I'll refer to it again, but Scoop, The Kochback Americans for Prosperity is endorsing Nikki Haley for president. | ||
| They plan on spending tens of millions of dollars to try to defeat President Trump in the primaries. | ||
| That would be tens of millions of dollars. | ||
| I told you. | ||
| It was all going to come around Nikki and the battleground is going to be New Hampshire. | ||
| Forget South Carolina, we'll have more on that later. | ||
| You can get up to date on all this AmFest 16th to the 19th in the Greater Phoenix area. | ||
| The War Room will be there broadcasting. | ||
| Want to have as many Posse members there as possible for meet and greets, breakouts, all of it. | ||
| The speakers list itself. | ||
| And I've been doing this for a while is the best single best speakers list I've ever seen for one of these conferences. | ||
| So you're going to get fired up and and be able to get with the program for 2024 because this is kind of the kickoff not just a year end of 23. | ||
| It's really the kickoff for the entire 2024 just an incredible list of speakers including Tucker Don jr. | ||
| Everybody and you don't want to miss it AmFest. | ||
| Make sure you go to the site right now this program by Charlie Kirk and the turning point team Charlie as you know follows us here. | ||
| At noon. | ||
| The ticking time, just back to Mike Johnson for a minute, and we are, you know, we're huge fans of Speaker Johnson. | ||
| However, you're not, here's the thing, don't, we're not going to take a bunch of policy trade-offs, these ephemeral policy trade-offs for not having massive cuts. | ||
| You have to man up and you have to man up now. | ||
| We're not going to accept and not going to tolerate any kind of happy talk on this, the 19th of January. | ||
| And people gotta stop talking about the entitlements. | ||
| Until you can show you can get control of discretionary spending and start making massive cuts here and seal the border, working men and women in this country are not going to trust the political class on their entitlements. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| Anybody that mentions that, when Nikki Haley and Chris Christie and these people start talking about that, you understand they're not serious politicians. | ||
| They're not serious leaders. | ||
| First off you got to get the manufacturing jobs here that are able to generate the incomes that people can then start to pay in because look every pays into this thing. | ||
| They're not going to do it. | ||
| It's ridiculous to think and this is this is worse than abortion because it has no basis in economics. | ||
| Do your job and get control of this border, get control these illegal aliens are here, get control of things like Ukraine, the 80 billion dollars are up there right now. | ||
| Let me repeat this. | ||
| We passed, and nobody gets these numbers right except for War Room. | ||
| I hate to be so brutally frank about it. | ||
| The math is not that complicated. | ||
| We passed, as we said, $33 trillion on the 18th of September. | ||
| We're at $33.8 trillion today, and we're going to be at $34 trillion face amount of the national debt on the evening of the 28th of December, if not before. | ||
| So we added a trillion dollars in 100 days. | ||
| Did anybody tell you that was going to happen? | ||
| Did Kevin McCarthy tell you that? | ||
| He gave Biden this deal. | ||
| Has anybody in all that? | ||
| Oh, they're going to shut down the government. | ||
| You heard Mika. | ||
| They're going to shut down the government. | ||
| They're going to shut down the government. | ||
| They're going to shut down government. | ||
| Has anybody had the common courtesy or decency to talk to you about the math? | ||
| These are republic ending numbers. | ||
| This is the difference between declinist and accelerationist. | ||
| Decline is an accelerationist. | ||
| Remember, we're populist nationalists. | ||
| Our task and purpose is to return America, this nation, and her citizens to their former glory. | ||
| And we have to do that by being the adults in the room. | ||
| So your brother, our ally in the Middle East, here's where I'm not feeling good. | ||
| I'm not feeling good when the Biden regime is like two steps removed from this negotiation. | ||
| Please tell me in what universe. | ||
| What Cartesian universe does Qatar take the lead in? | ||
| Am I wrong? | ||
| Qatar is the nest of vipers that wouldn't sign when we went to the Middle East, would slow walked us and had every excuse in the world about signing the terrorist financing proposal we put forward when President Trump went to Riyadh, went to Riyadh, Jerusalem and Rome in that symbolic tour. | ||
| It was really to cut terrorist financing. | ||
| Qatar is the it's the it's the central bank. | ||
| It's the JP Morgan. | ||
| of terrorist financing. | ||
| Why are they, help me out here, why are they involved at all, much less leading the negotiations for their subsidiary, the Muslim Brotherhood, sir? | ||
| The Biden administration, you know, continuing Obama administration's theory is that all the players in the Middle East need to be at the table. | ||
| And that, you know, that From their perspective, let's print more money. | ||
| Everybody gets money in the Middle East. | ||
| Every player. | ||
| The Iranians get money. | ||
| The Qataris just got most favored nation status, which means they get money. | ||
| The whole thing makes no sense at all. | ||
| If If Biden really wanted the hostages released, then the first place he would go is to the Qataris and tell them, you know, that, that big, beautiful air base that we have there. | ||
| It's, it's gone. | ||
| Most favored nations, treaty status, it's gone. | ||
| If you don't, if all the hostages aren't released in 72 hours, then Qataris are off the gravy train. | ||
| But we don't hear anything like that. | ||
| They, the Biden administration wants everybody at the table. | ||
| And at the rate we're going, as you say, Qataris are basically the diplomatic arm of Hamas. | ||
| They're the bankers of the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| And to have America bringing them to the table and mucking up this war and making it, basically by a thousand cuts, making it impossible for Israel to win, it's hard to watch, it is. | ||
| Is the Muslim Brotherhood's principal target is not Israel? | ||
| It's the United States of America. | ||
| Am I incorrect on that? | ||
| Yeah, well, sure. | ||
| I mean, they want the world. | ||
| And at the moment, the Chinese are backing them. | ||
| The Iranians are sort of backing them. | ||
| And look, from the perspective of China, having the West flooded with radical Islam with Muslim supremacists who, you know, in the future they'll take over those countries. | ||
| But if you look at what's happening on the campuses in a lot of the cities, I think the issue is more that the revolutionary Islamists are part of the coalition. | ||
| They're part of the democratic coalition. | ||
| They're part of the coalition on campuses. | ||
| And what that means is that you don't have to have a university run by the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| The number of professors who are activists in these kinds of | ||
| Radical Islamic causes can be very small, but because they are sort of the shock troops, they take the lead in the woke coalition, and they make the most extreme demands, and they scare the professors, they scare the students, they intimidate people, and they're, at this point, the number one agent turning the campuses into a place where conservatives, Christians, Jews, | ||
| It just can't open their mouths anymore. | ||
| This is, but it's even broader than the campuses now. | ||
| I mean, New York City, they shut down Manhattan Bridge yesterday, and their quote was, I put it up on my getter, is that America cannot assume it can live day-to-day normal life while there is genocide in Palestine. | ||
| And they say they're going to have disruption every day. | ||
| They're at Columbus Circle. | ||
| Remember, they're saying, when they're talking about oppressors and occupiers and colonialists, they're not talking just about Israel. | ||
| They're talking about the United States of America and the Anglo Protestants that came here and led the wave that eventually turned this vast wilderness into the greatest nation on earth. | ||
| So how do we combat this? | ||
| I think we're going to need a change of of software. The problem is, you know, if you're a liberal, and I'm not just talking about Democrats, I'm talking about a lot of Republicans also, if you're a liberal, you have it hardwired in you that, you know, that everybody's equal to everybody else. And that means every group is equal to every other group. And the idea that 300,000 students | ||
| from Muslim countries on American campuses. | ||
| That's the same as if you were going to bring, you know, 300,000 Christians from South America. | ||
| That equality simply has to go. | ||
| I mean, it just has to end. | ||
| And I think, you know, people found it absolutely, you know, impossible when Trump started saying, we have an actual problem of of immigration and controls with respect to countries that radical Islam is coming out of. | ||
| And, you know, the sky had to fall. | ||
| Everybody went nuts. | ||
| How can you possibly discriminate against Muslim countries? | ||
| But those are, in fact, the countries where the greatest terror threat is. | ||
| And those are the countries from which the radicalization of the American left is proceeding. | ||
| There's an international left, both in Europe and in America and other democracies, and that international left loves the idea of bringing as many radical Muslims as possible into Western countries, because they know that it's not a simple question of, well, there's only four million Muslims, so what can they possibly do? | ||
| But just look at Britain, look at the way the police are afraid to take any kind of action against the most extreme and violent and radical protests, and the police just stand there cowering. | ||
| Look, that's the future of the United States, too. | ||
| If you don't take the step of saying, no, not all immigrant populations are the same. | ||
| No, not all groups of students visiting from foreign countries are the same. | ||
| That step has to be taken. | ||
| In Israel, are we going to get back to the process of eliminating and eradicating the Muslim Brotherhood's franchise in Gaza, Hamas, its military operation? | ||
| Is that going to restart or are we just going to get dribs and drabs and this thing's going to go two days and four days and six days and eventually Qatar is going to win out here, sir? | ||
| I think that it's unlikely. | ||
| You're describing, it seems like you're describing what the Biden administration wants. | ||
| But look, I'll tell you, just minutes ago, Benny Gantz, who is the left-of-center general who is in Netanyahu's unity government, just minutes ago made a statement emphasizing the moment the ceasefire is over, We're going back to war, and he emphasizes everyone in the war cabinet is unified. | ||
| There are no differences of opinion on this subject. | ||
| An hour ago, we had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, I guess, the head of the Israeli Armed Forces, General Halevi, who said something similar. | ||
| He said, we are at this moment ready to resume war. | ||
| We've used the time well to prepare, and we're ready to go now. | ||
| And these statements, these are not saber-rattling statements. | ||
| They reflect the wall-to-wall nature of Israeli public opinion at the moment. | ||
| Maybe in America, people think, oh, some of the hostages are getting out, and And that means peace is coming. | ||
| I think Israelis see these images in exactly the opposite way. | ||
| What the Israeli media is reporting about the release of hostages is the abuse of the hostages who are being held. | ||
| The horror stories, you know, just this morning, horror stories in Israeli media of of a 12-year-old hostage who was shown film footage of the murder of his own family repeatedly and told he would be killed if he didn't stop crying. | ||
| These kinds of stories, and there are endless such stories in the Israeli media on all sides, through all channels, and these stories, they make Israelis furious, furious. | ||
| And that's not just the right. | ||
| It's the right. | ||
| It's the left. | ||
| It's the Jews. | ||
| It's the Druze and non-Jewish citizens. | ||
| Americans don't understand. | ||

Israel is a brick wall on this subject. | |
| Yoram, hang on for one second. | ||
| I want to hold you through the break and continue this discussion and talk about your talk tonight at the University of Mississippi. | ||
| Yoram Hazani joins us on the other side. | ||
|

|
We will fight till they're all gone! | |
| We rejoice when there's no more! | ||
| Let's take down the CCP! | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| Okay, we'll break it out for the afternoon show. | ||
| We've got too much to go through for the morning, but the lead story on Zero Hedge today was a clip of my interview on Tucker Carlson's show yesterday, where we talked about Ireland. | ||
| And being Irish, as you know, we have very de minimis coverage of Ireland. | ||
| And one of the reasons is it's one of the most disappointing nations on earth because of the political class, which has sold out the people consistently. | ||
| They're Brussels, they kowtow to Brussels. | ||
| And I said, hey, you look at the situation in Ireland, where they've taken in 125,000, I think, immigrants in the last year, the equivalent of the nine million Illegal alien invaders we have in this country. | ||
| And I said, this is coming to the United States. | ||
| It's coming to the United States when we start having the massive budget cuts we're going to have to have in discretionary spending that I just talked about and coupled with the deportation of the 9 million, at least 9 million to 10 million illegal alien invaders coming into the Biden regime. | ||
| Just moments ago, Mayorkas answered a question. | ||
| We're going to play it later in the show where they asked about this effort of thinking about deportation. | ||
| Mayorkas lays out an entire plan, in his words, of amnesty. | ||
| An entire plan of amnesty. | ||
| That's their plan. | ||
| And so this is what I think Yoram's mentioning. | ||
| This is going to happen. | ||
| This is what I said yesterday. | ||
| This is going to happen in the United States at scale. | ||
| What you're seeing in Europe. | ||
| in England when we covered the Remembrance Day, essential riots when they tried to shut down Remembrance Day, and of course it was the hooligans that got arrested by British police, and what happened in Ireland. | ||
| It's all coming here, folks. | ||
| It's all coming here. | ||
| So don't think when we're discussing the situation in Israel that this is just about Israel. | ||
| This talks about larger issues. | ||
| The greatest enemies this nation has, the Chinese Communist Party, kind of the ringleader, the Mullahs in Persia and Tehran, Qatar, and the rest of that gang down there that's all Muslim Brotherhood as soon as you turn away. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Coupled with Erdogan and the Turks. | ||
| Remember that movie they made a couple years ago, The Brink? | ||
| They followed me around Europe in 18 and 19. | ||
| What was I talking about? | ||
| Exactly what is happening today. | ||
| And this is why Gert Wilders and these other people were at Salvini were all in the movie. | ||
| And, of course, they said at the time, oh, Steve Bannon, he's so radical. | ||
| The filmmaker gave an interview. | ||
| He said, he's so radical and he's so off. | ||
| Turkey's part of NATO. | ||
| You know, Turkey wants to get in the EU. | ||
| Yo, what Turkey wants, what Erdogan wants, is a reestablishment of the Ottoman Empire. | ||
| And they want to take the two holy sites from the Arabs, from the Saudis, and manage them themselves like they did for 500 years. | ||
| This is much bigger than just Israel, and people have to wake up to that. | ||
| They're waking up now. | ||
| You've got the Swedish Democrats going out overnight in Sweden. | ||
| They've got a plan. | ||
| I'm not saying I support that plan 100%, but they've got a plan. | ||
| Gerd Wilders has got a plan. | ||
| Nigel Farage has got a plan. | ||
| These plans, they all kind of have a certain logic to it. | ||
| And what you're seeing in Gaza is what happens when you look the other way, and you continue to look the other way, and you look the other way, and you wish the wolf passes the door. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The wolf never passes. | ||
| The wolf always comes back. | ||
| And eventually you have to deal with it. | ||
| And it's always harder if you wait. | ||
| If you want this on your children, and you want this on your grandchildren, and you don't want to be the generation that steps into the breach and says, okay, we understand. | ||
| We have to do it. | ||
| We're called upon to do it. | ||
| Just like in the Revolution, just like in the Civil War, just like in World War II. | ||
| We're called upon to do it. | ||
| If you want to look the other way and kick the can down the road, that's quite easy to do. | ||
| And you will be cursed by generations to come. | ||
| Yoram Hazani, your speech tonight at Ole Miss, I want to make sure people can get to this and see it. | ||
| It's so refreshing that a university has the courage to have you come and address it. | ||
| Well, I posted the advertisement for my talk at Ole Miss. | ||
| The talk is Conservatism in a Time of War. | ||
| Go to my Twitter feed, YHAZONY, Y-H-A-Z-O-N-Y. | ||
| The ad is right there. | ||
| And I'm definitely looking forward to it. | ||
| They've got me talking to a philosophy class. | ||
| Really a warm welcome from Ole Miss. | ||
| Yeah, throw some of that nationalism down there. | ||
| Get them all jacked up. | ||
| Last thing, Channel 14. | ||
| One of my concerns is that some of the media coverage in Israel is almost as bad as CNN, not as bad as MSNBC, which is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, but that CNN, which is so treatly non-stop, Tell me about Channel 14. | ||
| There's a startup or a channel that was kind of unknown that's become the leading number one channel now in Israel. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Channel 14, it's been around for a number of years, but it's just in the last couple of years that it's begun hitting ratings, making it the most popular of the Israeli television channels. | ||
| And it's a serious A serious rightist channel. | ||
| I mean, it does the spectrum of different kinds of right-of-center opinion, but it's strongly religious, strongly nationalist, and the pressure from Channel 14 definitely has moved the entire media spectrum in Israel. | ||
| I mean, overall, I think the Israeli media is actually doing a pretty good job with certain exceptions. | ||
| You know, Haaretz is our anti-nationalist, pro-communist newspaper. | ||
| But overwhelmingly, Channel 14 is leading a big change. | ||
| I mean, we hear on a daily basis, broadcasters, anchormen, anchorwomen saying things like, People gotta understand, Israel's never going to be the same again. | ||
| We're a different Israel. | ||
| We're different people from what we were before October 7th. | ||
| What's your Twitter feed? | ||
