| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Friday, 9 December in the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us here in the war. | ||
| Oh, excuse me, it's 8 December. | ||
| One day ahead of it. | ||
| Boy, end of the week. | ||
| 8th of December, day after Pearl Harbor. | ||
| Frank Gaffney joins us. | ||
| Frank, I'm here to talk about the NDAA, other topics that we got of the woke and weaponized. | ||
| We had the great Chip Roy work through his going horse today on the show to kick it off. | ||
| I had to kick off the final hour with you. | ||
| But Frank, I do want to give you Some good news, very good news, and I completely say this came from the Committee on the Present Danger, Roger Robinson, Sam Faddis, the entire team over there. | ||
| Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, and Frank, what I'm about to show you is the blazing headline in the Wall Street Journal, I mean the big one in the middle. | ||
| is how much it hurt the Wall Street Journal to have to type this up and do a typeset. | ||
| Wall Street falls out of love with pouring money into China. | ||
| Did you think in our lifetime, Frank Gaffney, that you would see Bravo Zulu, as we say in the Surface Navy? | ||
| Wall Street falls out of love with pouring money into China. | ||
| And they used the right words. | ||
| It was Wall Street, they were in love with it, and they poured money into it. | ||
| Give me your assessment of that. | ||
| How did that come about? | ||
| Steve, to answer your question, I did think we were going to see it. | ||
| Because I was convinced that once the American people woke up to the fact that that's exactly what Wall Street was doing, and it was not unrequited love, let's be honest, this was being bought by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And the Larry Finks and the Ray Dalios and the Steve Schwartzmans and the Vanguards and on and on. | ||
| They made jillions of dollars, personally, But the guys whose money they were playing with, not so much. | ||
| And I just felt that the question really was, would this end in time? | ||
| And if it does now, and in fact, it's going to be a near run thing, as the Duke of Wellington put it. | ||
| Steve, because the hour, as you know, and you document every day, as do we on Securing America, the hour is very late. | ||
| So I really do want to second what you said about our friend Roger Robinson and and really this with his help and leadership. | ||
| This became kind of the central focus of our committee on the present danger China from its inception and so. | ||
| I want to thank you for all that you've done to help promote it, but also for the leadership that he exhibited. | ||
| And recall, as I know you do, Roger Robinson was the guy who helped Ronald Reagan take down the last communist monstrosity that sought our destruction, the Soviet evil empire. | ||
| And now he's maybe going to chalk one up on a second one. | ||
| And I hope that we will see, especially with the help of you and Brad Thayer and so many others, That we actually not only cut off the cash flow, but we also work with the people of China to bring down the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Now, for Lao Bai Jing, I want Frank's become a household name in mainland China through the VPNs because we have a massive… the audience in China with Lao Bai Jing is probably 5x our audience throughout the rest of the world and particularly the United States because they're so thirsty for the truth. | ||
| A couple of things. | ||
| Number one, Roger Robinson was really in charge of kind of the economic warfare part of the Reagan war plan, and the Reagan war plan defeated the Soviet Union in about eight years. | ||
| Roger has been very focused on doing step one, which was convince the U.S. | ||
| government from stop promoting and funding through public entities and these pension funds, the Chinese Communist Party, the equity in these companies, which has just been attractive, and they're using American pension money, particularly In the great Greek tragedy part of this, the retirement money of our active-duty military and government employees, which amounts to three quarters of a trillion dollars. | ||
| Roger worked for literally years when we finally got that one done. | ||
| But I want to say for both the Lao-Beijing, the Chinese, because this article's got the sad face, and the sad face is not for the people of America or the Lao-Beijing. | ||
| The sad face is for Losing an old friend, which is the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal has a very sad face in that the investors are losing an old friend, like the CCP just lost Henry Kissinger. | ||
| Why is this good news for both Lao-Beijing, the common man and woman in China, that are being suppressed in this kind of slave labor camp? | ||
| And why is it good news for working class and middle class people in the United States, sir? | ||
| Talk about good news and possible bad news, both. | ||
| The good news is that we have a chance, if we do in fact stop financing the enemy, to bring down this monstrous regime that has, as you say, Steve, brutalized, you know, in our book, The Indictment, shamelessly plug, a bestseller, thanks to you, entitled, subtitled, | ||
| Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and friends for crimes against America, China, and the world, what they've done to their own people is horrific. | ||
| And why it's so important that we help them end it is because it's what they want to do to us as well, if they get their mitts on us. | ||
| The good news is that we have a chance of enabling, on top of the real political difficulties that are there now, thanks in part to Xi Jinping's You know, brutal repression and zero COVID policy and all the rest. | ||
| The economic problems which have caused a lot of foreign investment to bail out of China, as the Wall Street Journal's documenting, and a lot of companies skedaddling as well. | ||
| And not least the demographic disaster that their one-child policy has precipitated. | ||
| All of that is creating conditions under which, just maybe, We can push them over and get out from under the danger that they pose to their own people and the threat they pose to us. | ||
| The possible bad news, Steve, and the risk that we now have to attend to mightily is that, as totalitarians typically do when they get into that kind of crack, They lash out. | ||
| They try to find some foreign pretext for their domestic repression and prop up their regime, rally around the flag and all the rest of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that is a real danger. | |
| I want people to know that Frank and I did not rehearse this beforehand. | ||
| We put this together. | ||
| I had to get Frank on here for the NDAA. | ||
| Because you segway perfectly my point. | ||
| I actually had a chance the other day to spend a couple hours with what I would call defense intellectuals. | ||
| And some of these people will be served in President Trump's first term and will certainly be in senior positions in the second term. | ||
| They said, look, Steve, we understand what, you know, you and Frank and the Committee on the Present Danger, you're serving a purpose like Scoop Jackson and Guy served before Reagan came to office. | ||
| You've got to have a group of super hawks that are always on the offense, that always want to take on the enemy, that, you know, because you kind of, we understand how you're trying to craft The conversation, but you're playing a very dangerous game. | ||
| And in fact, they actually pointed things out like this, because I think there's a lot of words, a lot of rumbling on Wall Street, something like this was going to happen, that you're going to see more restrictions, and some of the big funds are just going to say, hey, it's too risky, the geopolitical risk is, and start pulling back. | ||
| They said this is the equivalent. | ||
| of America, the United States, cutting off oil supply to Japan in, I think, 1939, 1940, where we did the oil embargo, that basically had the Imperial Japanese staff essentially go to the people around the emperor and say, we gotta strike the demon before we run out of resources so that we can then consolidate the co-Asian, or the co-Asian prosperity sphere, right? | ||
| So give me an answer to that. | ||
| Do you think that this is too much? | ||
| Do you think we've played too hard? | ||
| Do you think we're too focused on choking down the CCP that will actually lead them to a kinetic war? | ||
| I would also tell you, I think these defense intellectuals were probably 75% To the way, they didn't think it would turn out very well for us right now in Taiwan, as you've said in the Committee on the Present Danger. | ||
| They thought if the balloon went up now, it could be pretty choppy water for us. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Well, Steve, let me just say, I hope that such people will not populate a second Trump term. | ||
| Because they better be squared away on this underlying reality. | ||
| Even if Wall Street continued to fund these guys, to their heart's content, It wouldn't alter the fact that Xi Jinping is bent on kinetic war with us. | ||
| He's been waging this unrestricted warfare, as have his predecessors for decades, as we've documented again extensively in the work of the Committee on the Present Danger China, which we poured into this book, The Indictment. | ||
| But here's the kicker, and we've talked about this repeatedly in recent weeks. | ||
| What we're watching right now, is strategic arson by Xi Jinping. | ||
| I'm now given to calling it pyromania, because when they light off Latin America, which they set in motion, make no mistake about it, when Maduro of Venezuela went to Beijing, he was given the same go-code that Vladimir Putin got when he went to Beijing in February of 2021. | ||
| 2022, excuse me. | ||
| Ditto what the mullahs of Iran and the Palestinian Authority leadership got when they went to Beijing with respect to Israel. | ||
| And now the tanker war going on on the margins of all of that. | ||
| The problem with the logic that, oh my gosh, we cannot cut off their water, is they will go to war with us if we do, is it mistakes the fact that they're at war with us now, have been for decades. | ||
| are working every angle they can. | ||
| One of the best of the webinars that we've ever done, Steve, was the one last week about the biological warfare program inside the United States. | ||
| We found one lab, we're not even looking for the rest of them. | ||
| But you can bet they're here. | ||
| But when you put it all together, anybody who's telling you, you just have to go along, keep it up, prop them up, is, well, they're in the mode of Henry Kissinger. | ||
| They're looking at the ultimate defeat of the United States, and by God, if they are anywhere near a second Trump administration, it's not going to be worth a candle. | ||
| We need people who are going to take the line that we're taking, stand up against this, and defeat the Chinese Communist Party, hopefully without firing a shot, as Ronald Reagan did, with the help of people like Roger Robinson, and to a much smaller degree, myself. | ||
| That's what we need now. | ||
| Not more hand-wringing and panties in a bunch. | ||
| That leads us to the next issue. | ||
| You have to have a military that's ready to fight and, more importantly, ready to fight and win. | ||
| Back in July, Frank, we were happy. | ||
| We were ecstatic. | ||
| We had an NDA, I think came out of committee, that had as much of the woke and weaponized I think most people feel could have gotten out of there. | ||
| Senator Tuberville got involved. | ||
| A heroic effort. | ||
| And this wasn't just about abortion. | ||
| It was much more also about woke, field-grade officers and generals that were looking for promotion. | ||
| They're putting out an NDA, a National Defense Authorization, which is a quote-unquote, a must pass. | ||
| They're going to put that on the floor, I think, next week. | ||
| We had Chip Roy on here this morning and Kash Patel, both arguing that this has to be fought tooth and nail, that literally everything, essentially everything we fought for and got after months and months in committee that we got out of the defense Well, thank you for paying attention to this, Steve. | ||
| And thanks for having Chip Roy on earlier. | ||
| He did a great job. | ||
| I believe, if I recall what happened here, it was somewhat attentive to these problems. | ||
| And I think the woke term, though it's a Maoist term, by the way, is a little misleading. | ||
| It doesn't really correctly characterize the nature of what we're up against. | ||
| It's Marxism. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| What these guys did in committee was somewhat helpful, but I believe that the most important amendments were adopted on the floor of the House of Representatives by an actual majority vote of the full body. | ||
| And here you have now, as a result of the connivance of the Democrats in the Senate Armed Services Committee, which I worked for 40 years ago. | ||
| Back when you mentioned Scoop Jackson and John Tower, I mean, real titans of national security. | ||
| And they did, as you said, Steve, promote peace through strength before Ronald Reagan got to town. | ||
| Those guys are not on that committee by and large any longer. | ||
| And what you have instead On the Republican side, it's more or less a controlled opposition. | ||
| Oh, yes, some of them have had, you know, some time in the military themselves, and I credit them for that, but they don't seem to have learned anything from it. | ||
| And in fact, they've been leading the fight against Tommy Tuberville and what really became a very important effort on his part to just vet | ||
| These military officers that Joe Biden wants to lead our military as part of his fundamental transformation of the thing into a basically Marxist made over, divided and conquered, inadequate and probably self-defeating military of the United States at a time when we can't afford any of that. | ||
| So, you know, here we have the Speaker of the House, I think, who's still badly staffed. | ||
| Let's be honest. | ||
| He's still got, as far as I can tell, quite a number of these Kevin McCarthy guys around him. | ||
| And guess what kind of advice he's getting from them? | ||
| Or from others, for that matter. | ||
| You gotta get a legislative accomplishment. | ||
| You better just take whatever it is they've served up in the Senate. | ||
| This is rubbish. | ||
| Chip Roy is exactly right. | ||
| We need to make them pull this down and go back and fix it. | ||
| And they ought to be under instruction, if necessary, from the full floor of the House that no substitutes for that improved bill will be acceptable. | ||
| Improved, as I say, With respect, yes, to abortion. | ||
| I think the fact that they're making it legal to use federal funds to underwrite abortion travel or any other related expenses, that's not legal under the laws of the United States today. | ||
| The Pfizer thing, Chip's right, I think we need a clean, fresh, Bill coming out of the House Judiciary Committee, not just rubber stamping a renewal of the existing one. | ||
| But here's the larger point, Steve. | ||
| I think if we don't want the United States Armed Forces to become wholly made over in this Marxist image, literally taken down as a result, that language has to go back in that drops all of these woke, if you will, policies, and that makes it clear that general officers who favor them, who embrace them, who are enthusiastic about them, will not be welcome in the United States military going forward. | ||
| And frankly, we ought to look hard at some of the 450 who have just been approved, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who's all about this stuff. | ||
| This has to be fixed because you know what it's doing? | ||
| Going back to what we started with. | ||
| If you're concerned that the Chinese Communist Party might actually think they can successfully wage war against our country, not the pre-kinetic kind, the shooting kind, you got to get these clowns out of the way, because they will not have the fight in them. | ||
| They will not be able to lead their forces in the confidence that they will take them to victory. | ||
| And we can't afford that. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Over at the committee, I know you guys have been pretty vocal about this. | ||
| Do you have a list? | ||
| If people go to the website, have you put up a list? | ||
| Or will you help us in putting up a list? | ||
| Because we actually would like to, maybe Monday or Tuesday next week in the six o'clock hour, maybe even take an hour and go through. | ||
| Because the Tuberville situation never got explained. | ||
| People think Coach Tuberville was just up there on abortion. | ||
| The issue he was addressing is so much deeper than abortion. | ||
| Abortion is one tiny element of the abortion travel. | ||
| This was about neo-Marxism and Marxism in the highest, and basically taking a warrior culture and changing that to a culture that's predicated on neo-Marxism. | ||
| I mean, it would essentially If you talk to the Red Army guys back in the 60s or Mao Zedong and those guys and Deng Xiaoping at the top of their game, not in a billion years would they think they'd ever be able to infiltrate the military and put in neo-Marxist philosophy as its core element and to the degree that you would have to actually encapsulate that in your professional career or you would not be able to be promoted to the highest levels of your uniform service. | ||
| So do you actually have names we can go to on a site, or can we put that together for Monday and Tuesday? | ||
| And just the facts, no? | ||
| Just, hey, here's what they've said, here's what they've done, here's what they've gone to school, here's what they've written, here's what they believe. | ||
| Can I make one point before coming to that? | ||
| And the answer is, of course, yes. | ||
| A point directly relevant to what you just said, Steve. | ||
| I believe it was Wednesday of last week, Dick Durbin, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the former number two Democrat in the United States Senate, went on the floor of the Senate and he said, I mean, get this, he said out loud, the quiet part, as you like to say, he said, you know, one of the reasons why we can't close this border, he's talking to those Republicans who are Mattering on about how, you know, we got to do something at the border if we're going to throw all this money in Ukraine. | ||
| He said, well, there's another reason why we can't do that. | ||
| And that is because we've got all of these recruitment shortfalls in the military. | ||
| And we need to get some of those illegal aliens to take advantage of a program that will give them a fast track to citizenship if they're willing to serve in the United States military. | ||
| Now, it happens, Steve, as you've been talking about, and we have been securing America as well. | ||
| There's rather large numbers of fit, military age, unaccompanied men, wearing similar uniforms and backpacks. | ||
| They're good to go as military personnel. | ||
| In fact, it looks like they're Chinese special forces, and they're here by the tens of thousands. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| How about we put them in the United States military? | ||
| You'd have a—it wouldn't be called green on blue, I guess it'd be red on blue—attacks inside the military, but how about the attacks on the rest of us? | ||
| What on earth are we doing, my friend? | ||
| thinking that this is remotely countenanceable, let alone a good idea. | ||
| And yet that's where we are. | ||
| You haven't heard a peep from the Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee about this, as far as I can tell, let alone corrective action. | ||
| So the answer to your second question, or first question, I guess, maybe, is this. | ||
| We do have a list of some, as I recall, it's about 38 of the guys, most of whom have now been approved by the United States Senate. | ||
| Thanks to the Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, crushing Tommy Tuberville by saying if he persisted in this, they were going to agree to a rule that would basically begin to be the end of minority rights and the filibuster in the United States Senate. | ||
| And Tuberville, to his credit, said, well, no, I'm not going to go there. | ||
| I'm not going to let them do that. | ||
| But we'll have a program for you on Monday, if you'd like, where we can go through as many of them as you'd like. | ||
| We can give you chapter and verse, the kinds of things they've said there. | ||
| There's what we call the dirty half dozen. | ||
| That we thought in particular should not be approved at this point. | ||
| Four of them are still on hold, so we could definitely light them up in particular, and it would be a real public service, Steve, because the American people aren't going to believe what the folks who Joe Biden thinks ought to lead our military believe. | ||
| We can't have it. | ||
| Frank, the number, by the way, for the audience, 202-225-3121. | ||
| Call your congressman. | ||
| The staffs are still there. | ||
| They'll be gone over the weekend. | ||
| Also, call their local offices. | ||
| You go to Bill Blaster, the app that Grace has put up. | ||
| It's totally free. | ||
| You get all the phone numbers. | ||
| But Frank, when people call, give me a minute. | ||
| What should be, because they don't, you know, these offices are not engaged in chitchat. | ||
| What should the audience call to make sure that we do not pass this NDAA next Thursday and then they all go home for Christmas? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, Steve, at the Center for Security Policy, the raison d'etre for this organization was not to have another think tank. | ||
| It is to help achieve through partnerships. | ||
| What you can't do as individuals, typically. | ||
| So we put together another, you mentioned the Committee on the Present Danger of China, we talk about it a lot, but we also created a couple of months ago something we call Save America's Military. | ||
| And at SaveAmericasMilitary.org, your listeners will be able to find a The Line Act campaign, I believe it's live now, if it's not, it will be shortly, in which they will have both background on what we've just talked about on this NDAA. | ||
| I call it not the National Defense Authorization Act. | ||
| I call it the Not Defending America Act. | ||
| And I think we ought to be telling those members of Congress, people who represent you, no, we're not really interested in a Not Defending America Act. | ||
| Give us one that does. | ||
| And that's what we need them to say no to. | ||
| There's a form letter that they can, with a click of a mouse, send to their two senators and their member of Congress. | ||
| And there's a set of talking points or a short speech script, if you will, for a phone call, if you wish to do that, and a quick tweet that you can blast their way as well. | ||
| All of that is right at your disposal, and we encourage you to take advantage of it at SaveAmericasMilitary.org. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Frank, thank you so much. | ||
| I look forward to having you. | ||
| I'll talk to you when the show's over. | ||
| We'll get you back here at 6 o'clock on Monday, and we'll spend an entire hour, and we'll go through and we'll name names and say what we've got a problem with. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Great. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, one victory, Wall Street's going to stop pouring money into it. | ||
| Well, not all, but you know, we still got work to do, but you see the sentiment that's been changed. | ||
| I've got Chris Hoare. | ||
| Chris, thank you for joining us. | ||
| The audience really appreciates you guys coming up with all these specials, particularly before Christmas and the end of the year, and particularly in a time of turbulence, because everybody's very focused when you come on and give them something. | ||
|

What do you got for us today? | |
| Sorry about that, Steve. | ||
| We got a great Christmas present for everybody here. | ||
| We've got the free iSat phone 2 with activation and an extra battery. | ||
| So these sat phones, as you know, keep you connected whenever your cell towers are down, whenever you're out of reach of cell phone service. | ||
| The satellite phones will give you a connection in normal times and in disasters because they do not rely on any ground-based infrastructure. | ||
| So not only do we have one phone for free with an extra battery, And that's with activation of just 95 bucks a month, giving you 100 minutes. | ||
| But for the family plans for Christmas, what better than to give the gift of safety and security and privacy? | ||
| So you can get from two up to nine phones for free with nine extra batteries. | ||
| And that would run you just $7.50 a month, Steve, but you can get two phones, three phones for free, four phones for free, whatever it is, and you can keep one for yourself, give one out to your family members, and know that they're going to be safe. | ||
| And this is at sat123.com. | ||

the other side. | |
| War Room Battlegrounds with Stephen K. Bannon Uh... | ||
| Chris Hoare, just explain what you get. | ||
| I think it's nine people. | ||
| Real quickly, why is it nine people? | ||
| You're just offering this as a special. | ||
| Why is the number nine? | ||
| Well, you can get two free phones, three free phones, all the way up to nine free phones, Steve, as family plans. | ||
| So if you've got a big family, if you've got a small business and you want to make sure everyone can stay connected, you can get all those phones for free with free extra batteries today at Sat123.com. | ||
| Um, and the idea is, is that you can take care of your loved ones, your friends, and your family or your colleagues. | ||
| So look, if there's four of you in your family, just today only, you can get four free phones with four free extra batteries. | ||
| Uh, and you're paying on that plan, uh, just, uh, $4.29 a month for 500 minutes a month, Steve, and those minutes roll over. | ||
| So whatever your family size is, you know, this enables you to give the gift of protection, of privacy and security and peace of mind to always know that you'll be able to reach your family members and loved ones if there is an emergency or if the power is out or the cell towers go down. | ||
| And you can get these steel today at sat123.com. | ||

| And this deal helps you do that and take care of them with a gift that can really protect them. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks for doing these deals. | ||
| People should know, when Chris Hoare and the team put these up, they go quick. | ||
| So he gives us first dibs on it, first shot. | ||
| But make sure you get on it. | ||
| Chris, thank you so much. | ||
| I want everybody to man the phones, get on top of it. | ||
| Tomorrow morning, we've got Rudy and we've got Kimberly Guilfoyle. | ||
| We're going to go through a bunch of the legal analysis of everything that's happening from Hunter Biden all the way to the President. | ||
| Break it all down for you to make sure you understand it. | ||
| Also talk about The cover up and what's going to be done on the cover. | ||
| But I got Tej Gill is my wingman tomorrow from Warpath. | ||
| The guy's always a hoot, a former Navy SEAL and pipe hitter. | ||
| Warpath.coffee. | ||
| I say in the show tomorrow, you know, in the morning, I got to have it. | ||
| In the afternoon, I'm starting to need it. | ||
| You know, hey, I'm a guy of a certain age, right? | ||
| So Warpath.coffee slash Worm. | ||
| Worm, you get all the discounts. | ||
| Do that. | ||
| Make sure you get it. | ||
| They've got all types of coffee. | ||
| I love. | ||
| The Mariner's Blend, which is the dark roast. | ||
| So make sure you go check it out today, Warpath Coffee. | ||
| Of course, Philip Patrick is going to be here to explain the underlying dynamics and the forces in the world. | ||
| Not simply human agency, there's a lot of that we'll talk about too, about spending, etc. | ||
| or the certain forces in the modern world that are driving the financial system to look for an alternative to fiat currency, whether that's Bitcoin or whether it's gold, precious metals, we're gonna walk through those forces tomorrow, you're gonna wanna see it. | ||
| Also, I think these are the types of shows that I would say, you know, it's great for young people, teenagers, even if they don't know a lot, they know a lot about credit cards, they know a lot, they got their phones, they're already being formed as consumers. | ||
| It might help them to start learning how the world's economic and financial system works. | ||
| So we want to make sure it's available to everybody. | ||
| That's what we're doing on Saturday morning. | ||
| Philip Patrick. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com slash Bannon and make sure you get The End of the Dollar Empire. | ||
| It's a free four installment. | ||
| It's kind of like a graduate text about currency and hedging, debt, all that. | ||
| I think you'll find it very entertaining and quite informative. | ||
| At least I hope so. | ||
| Let's play. | ||
| Got a cold open for Ben. | ||
| Frank Gaffney and Ben Harnaw have been really working. | ||
| Gaffney, you saw the lead story in the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Wall Street's getting a little concerned about continuing to pour money into mainland China under communist rule. | ||
| Also, you think some long faces in the Wall Street Journal's story for Wall Street not pouring money in. | ||
| They're deeper, long faces. | ||
| Unsmiley faces because the money laundering operation in Ukraine doesn't look like he's going to get his money before Christmas. | ||
| Let's play a short clip and bring Ben Harnwell in. | ||
| Talks resumed in the Senate yesterday about a possible deal to increase southern border funding. | ||
| A Democratic source familiar with negotiations tells NBC News that although, quote, there is still a lot of daylight between the two sides, they are back at the table. | ||
| The bill being discussed would include funding for the border as well as Israel. | ||
| I am willing to make significant compromises on the border. | ||
| We need to fix the broken border system. | ||
| accused Republicans of insisting on quote, extreme policies at the border. | ||
| But in remarks on Wednesday, President Biden urged both sides to keep talking, a message that was well received by the lead Republican negotiator. | ||

I am willing to make significant compromises on the border. | |
| We need to fix the broken border system. | ||
| It is broken. | ||
|

|
We have the president's comments yesterday helpful to negotiations. | |
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the president made it very clear, obviously, that, you know, he sees the problem at the border. | ||
| He wants to be able to do it. | ||
| Even the White House made a very clear statement. | ||
| Hey, let's actually get something resolved. | ||
| Ukraine's too important not to be able to do this. | ||
| So I did think it was helpful for him to be able to make that statement. | ||
| And I reciprocated right back to the White House. | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| Okay, that's all Republican happy talk. | ||
| It's an invasion. | ||
| Biden hasn't done anything. | ||
| It's a disgrace. | ||
| They're holding our sovereignty hostage. | ||
| Get more money for the money laundering operation. | ||
| Okay, Ben, this is a big day for you. | ||
| It's a historic day for you. | ||
| I want to get to that in a minute. | ||
| I want to talk about this because the defense analyst over at Fox called Tucker Carlson a liar. | ||
| Because Tucker Carlson's talked to people and said that he's heard from this briefing that took place a couple days ago. | ||
| Austin's been very blunt. | ||
| That if this money's not approved, he's holding hostage your kids. | ||
| He says your kids are definitely going to get deployed over there because Putin's going to roll. | ||
| Talk to me about that because right now it's only making people more angry that it's not making them more open that, oh, can you imagine that the Secretary of Defense, a former four-star general, would say that and we say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Here, just take all the money you want. | ||
| We're so afraid. | ||
| I mean, you're so timid. | ||
| It's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| It's like It's like the border. | ||
| Ukraine is so important to them. | ||
| They don't care how craven they get. | ||
| They don't care how awful they are. | ||
| It's like heroin and they need it. | ||
| That tells you, in the child trafficking, in the bioweapons lab, in the money laundering, there's a, underneath the scab of Ukraine, there's going to be some pretty ugly pus, Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Steve, well yes, that's absolutely right. | ||
| Good evening to you. | ||
| What Lloyd Austin actually said was that if lawmakers fail to pass more aid to Ukraine, it was very likely, in quote marks, that that will lead to US troops on the ground in Europe defending NATO allies in other countries Russia may target next. | ||
| So, you know, we're now moving, we've left the realm of persuasion and we've gone straight now into the adjoining realm of blackmail. | ||
| But it's a hoax, Steve, as I've said, as we've said together, really, on this show. | ||
| Since our sociopathic overlords started wheeling out this argument, there is zero proof, zero evidence that Vladimir Putin has wider territorial designs beyond Ukraine and that the context of Ukraine was more to do with the fact of NATO's engineering to get Ukraine in as a member. | ||
| That's what motivated Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And yet they're still coming out with this line, and then they're sort of amplifying its emotive power, saying, well, look, you know, if you don't give us this money, then, you know, your kids, your uncles, your fathers, and of course, your daughters, your wives, and so on, they're all going to be sent over there into Eastern Europe. | ||
| Firstly, firstly, no administration has that ability. | ||
| I mean, even if it's NATO, even if it's Article 5, that there's no constitutional lawyer that thinks that the congressional ability, excuse me, The congressional authority that is necessary to do this is overridden because of Article 5 treaty obligations, which are very, in fact, they are very slight in what they actually oblige NATO members to do. | ||
| It's really a means of legal permission to enter war without the consequences of simply going to war against a country that hasn't attacked you under international law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's really the point of the Article 5 provision. | |
| Ben, this week, I want to talk about, have the sanctions, you know, the economic warfare. | ||
| We talked to Frank about it against the CCP. | ||
| Putin goes to UAE, which is supposed to be our ally. | ||
| In Dubai, they're hosting COP 28, which is to basically take all the money from the West in reparations and give it to the third world. | ||
| In Abu Dhabi, which I don't know, is 50 miles up the road, Putin shows up. | ||
| He's got his own jets. | ||
| They spray the colors of the Russian flag as they do it, like a top gun formation. | ||
| And then he's treated like a conquering hero. | ||
| Here the economy is getting more and more crippled by massive debt. | ||
| The only reason we have any growth or anything is we keep spending an enormous amount of money. | ||
| Is Putin coming as the economic winner in this and our allies like UAE are treating him like a conquering hero and they don't even invite Biden to come over? | ||
| Well, look, looking at it from the perspective of some of these more neutral countries that would like to dip a toe in both swimming pools, all these countries are doing is watching over decades the fact that America has been bullying them and bullying their neighbours and creating massive instability, massive political instability in the region of the Middle East for decades, right? | ||
| So from their perspective, To be under Vladimir Putin's umbrella is, you know, it's understandable that they will greet him like a conquering hero, because he's their friend, right? | ||
| You've got to look at it from the perspective of these nations, that the out-of-control US military-industrial complex has turned these neutral countries into de facto hostile states. | ||
| There needs to be a reckoning for that. | ||
| Regarding the situation in Russia on the ground, Steve, a Gallup survey this week has found that 56% of Russian respondents believe that their local economies are improving. | ||
| And 46% agree that living standards are also improving. | ||
| And that's a record, not since the start of the war, this is a record since these polls began in 2006. | ||
| So that I think dovetails nicely into the article that we discussed A couple of days ago, that the economic confidence on the ground in Russia is buoyant. | ||
| It's buoyant. | ||
| And in fact, this was the Washington Post article, wasn't it? | ||
| They actually said that one of the consequences of this buoyancy is the Western imposed sanctions. | ||
| So these things need to be borne in mind, Steve. | ||
| When there are talks about amplifying the sanctions because of the false... For example, this is exactly what Lord David Cameron has been arguing when he went to America this week. | ||
| The idea that the Russian regime is teetering on the brink and that he said, you know, David Cameron said to US Republican Congress members to keep the long-distance missiles coming because they're having an effect. | ||

|
It's just total fiction, Steve. | |
| This is also tomorrow. | ||
| I got Philip Patrick coming on for one reason. | ||
| We're going to talk about COP 28 in Abu Dhabi and Putin showing up in Dubai. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Excuse me. | |
| Putin's going to Abu Dhabi and COP 28 in the financial capital of Dubai and what it means for the dollar as a prime reserve currency. | ||
| Go to Birchgold right now. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Read the entire thing over the weekend, get a cup of Warpath coffee, sit down and read this and just think about it because they're a massive invocation. | ||
| Remember, MBZ is arguably our strongest ally, even including Israel. | ||
| I'm talking about a guy that puts in the forces and will fight in Afghanistan and do other things. | ||
| He is honoring Putin like a war hero. | ||
| And at the same time, they said, They said, UAE, with the financial capital of the Middle East now, Dubai there, that they're going off the dollar, the petrodollar. | ||
| They're going to try to do all of their big deals. | ||
| They do the big output deals in the currency of the country and try to hedge the risk. | ||
| That's why you need to understand why gold is a hedge. | ||
| You need to understand it now. | ||
| Ben, it's a 15th year anniversary of something big. | ||
| I've got a couple of minutes. | ||
| Talk to me about what you were doing 15 years ago. | ||
| Well, you know, if Memphis would very kindly start rotating these photos, you can see a very much younger and thinner Ben Harnwell there. | ||
| So look, what we did when I was working in the European Parliament between sort of 2006-2010, that's the Speaker of the European Parliament there. | ||
| One of the things that we were, and I was very heavily involved with the pro-life pro-protection of the Judeo-Christian West when I was out there in Brussels, Steve. | ||
| One of the things that members of the European Parliament consistently noted was the fact that even though they were in the numerical majority, they were losing again and again and again. | ||
| And even though, from the pontificates of John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, there was massive institutional support from the Catholic Church, which is a big thing in European Christian Democracy, we were losing all the hot-button issues on abortion, on traditional marriage, on euthanasia, you know, all the hot-button issues, even though the centre-right was the majority. | ||
| So, I was commissioned by the International Committee on Human Dignity to prepare a document called the International Declaration on Human Dignity as a complement to the International Declaration on Human Rights, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary on the 10th, on December the 10th, right now. | ||
| We're going into the specifics here. | ||
| There's a big danger with the International Declaration on Human Rights, and that is, it is a positivistic document. | ||
| It is a philosophy, following in the French tradition of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of, I think, 1791, that here is a document that gives to the citizens their rights. | ||
|

|
That's that one's absolutely antithetical to the to the American tradition and that inaugurated by the US founding fathers, which instead, the more you explain, the more you explain this, the more I know you're very glad that we saved you from that. | |
| No, don't get me wrong. | ||
| It sounds great. | ||
| But for an American, it sounds more like one of these great proclamations and it never gets enforced. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Am I am I wrong in that? | ||
| Well, the point was we were trying to put the spine back in to centre-right Christian democracy, and it was quite successful in its time. | ||
| You know, there's always the possibility to do more, and of course now I'm sort of full-time on The War Room. | ||
| You know, we have a number of legal issues which are currently pending. | ||
| More on that, by the way, Steve, in nine days' time. | ||
| Big news, big news on the 18th of December on that front. | ||
| But this is the point, Steve, this is the point. | ||
| We're always talking here on the show about defending the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| What is the essence, in the political sense, what is the essence of the Judeo-Christian West? | ||
| It's the fact that we have, in this culture, after 2,000 years of the Christian faith, the faith in Jesus Christ, percolating throughout the culture, across all the other countries of Christendom, we have this belief that man is made in the image and likeness of God. | ||
| That comes from chapter 1 of Genesis, right back in the very beginning of the Bible, therefore the very beginning of the Judeo-Christian Christian tradition, the Judeo-Christian story. | ||
| And that recognition that man is made in the image and likeness of God gives us a dignity, right? | ||
| I think this is basically what the founding fathers of the American Republic believed as well, though they obviously phrase it in a different sense. | ||
| If you believe that man is created by God as a purposeful, loving act, And that image, that infinite image of God radiates out every single human person. | ||
| You're going to have a society that recognizes that dignity and all the things that they've attributed over the passing of the years, like Equality before the law, right? | ||
| All these things that emanate out of the Judeo-Christian tradition. | ||
| Ben, this sounds fascinating. | ||
