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.
unidentified
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
War Room Battleground.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Okay, welcome.
For the second hour, really appreciate you guys staying around for the early evening edition.
We've got a lot to go through.
Raheem's going to join me in a minute.
Ben Harnwell from Rome, EJ and Tony talk about finance, capital markets.
I got to start with Frank Gaffney.
Frank, as much work as we've been doing the Committee on the Present Danger, you had another blockbuster webinar today about really the strategic situation in East Asia, this time focused on the CCP in the Korean Peninsula.
The audience has really been overwhelming since you made that quick hit.
Yesterday, give me the timing of this on these, I don't know, natural asset companies.
I spent a lot of time on Wall Street with Goldman Sachs and I had my own firm for about 20 years.
This one's cornfusing to me.
I know we've got Miss Byfields with us that's going to walk us through all this, but just tee it up again.
What exactly is going on?
Because you've been fantastic, the committee's been fantastic, to say, hey, look, one of the things we're trying to show you is how they're trying to sap your sovereignty in this country.
Whether it's the CCP run Geneva branch of the UN with World Health Organization and others, and now this, and the one thing I love about the committee, we are very much focused on the decoupling and making sure we separate American capital markets and American pension funds, whether that is our veterans, our active duty military personnel, our federal workers, and just the normal everyday Americans that watch this show about their pension money, but by cutting the CCP off from American capital,
And cutting the CCP off from access to American technology.
This one sounds like there's some hidden agenda in this thing, because it's kind of confusing me.
Can you tee up Ms.
Biefeld and walk me through what we got here?
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
I can't resist, though, Steve.
I just had the opportunity to interview the great Natalie Winters, who is doing her bit, as you know, to disengage from Communist China with her new Clothing line.
She's so right.
And I'm so excited about it.
But to your question, Steve, this is... By the way, hold on, hold on.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
This is one for the ages.
When you get Frank Gaffney excited about Natalie Winters is doing this line for young conservative women.
We got Frank.
Natalie, this is going to be a home run.
I want in now.
Now I'm going to be an investor.
And Frank Gaffney is excited about it.
unidentified
Let's do our part.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
She's a great entrepreneur.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
Anyway, Steve, to be absolutely deadly serious about this, because it requires that, you know, Barack Obama notoriously said on the eve of his first presidential election, he was about to begin fundamentally transforming America.
I would argue that what we're about to discuss is going to be as dangerous an element of that transformation and possibly the finishing touch, if they can pull this off.
To America as we've known it, remotely known it.
I mean, America as it has ever been since the founding.
And that is because, and you're right to be confused, get out your number two pretzels, as they say, to follow this script.
Basically, what we've got is a grand effort by Well, I call them the Green Weenies, hearkening back to my days in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where we used to call the baseball supporters using instruments to mesmerize the opponents of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Green Weenies of today are now trying to turn us all into controlled assets.
of their enterprises.
These so-called natural asset companies are the instrument.
This harkens back to an agenda set in motion back in, oh, I know, 20 or 30 years ago by the United Nations, that's designed to set aside land, waters, air, for green purposes.
And the trouble is, as Margaret Byfield, who I've just come to know and been enormously impressed by, of American stewards of liberty, is that this is a means of essentially depriving the American people.
I mean, both in terms of national public lands, but also private lands.
of the productive use of those lands.
The productive use for the purposes of, for example, mining, or oil and gas recovery, or farming even, for heaven's sakes.
Or how about this?
Hunting?
No hunting.
Because this is not renewable as defined by the people who are oligarchs of the World Economic Forum, of the Chinese Communist Party, The Biden administration, the United Nations, and so on.
And so Steve, the thing that I particularly want you to make sure you take aboard as a guy who knows about finance is that the only way they've been able to make this whole enterprise work, a kind of alchemy of turning literally air into money, is to create a new accounting system on top of everything else.
And I'm going to turn it over to Margaret to talk a little bit about how that works.
But the point is, this is a fraud that is being perpetrated on the American people of epic proportions.
We will not survive as a nation if it is perpetrated.
And it comes down to this.
Within a little less than two weeks time now, the Securities and Exchange Commission will shut down the comment era, the phase that they've established, for us to say, you know, we don't want any part of this.
And the easiest way to do that is to go to sovereigntycoalition.org, where you can find both access to the comments page at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and you can also write your legislators and say, we don't want any part of this.
If we do this, we might just beat it, and if we do, we might just beat back. This climate change, well, my friend Margaret Bifield calls it cartel and its agenda for taking down our country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Margaret, here's the one thing we try to do with the war on policy, the reason it's been such a powerful political and cultural force.
We try to explain to people the nomenclature, the kind of structure, the critical path.
So just go back to the beginning.
Natural asset companies.
What's the concept here?
How did he get this advanced?
And now we've got to man the ramparts for comments.
I mean, how did this happen?
Who conceived it?
And where is it going?
unidentified
Okay.
So, well, first off, thanks for having me on and thanks for exposing this issue.
This is really one of the most important things happening to our nation right now that very few people really know about.
So I'm glad you're really focused on it.
So the natural asset companies, first thing to understand about them is who created them.
There's, uh, in America, there's a group, uh, called the Intrinsic Exchange Group.
You can go to their website and read all about NAX and what they're planning to do there.
They are a group.
That was founded by the Rockefeller Foundation.
So that should be the first clue that we should be very wary of this.
The NACs create a new investment vehicle.
That's what they are trying to get the SEC to approve so that our protected resources and lands and assets.
So all the things that the climate crisis cartel has been moving to get under protection.
So they've been pushing the agenda 30 by 30 in America, which is to permanently protect 30% of our Land and Oceans in America, they're doing it worldwide.
All of this effort to protect the land, conserve the land, restore the land, those are all the buzzwords, has been moving to this point to where they get enough of our lands under production, out of the control of the private landowners.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hang on one second.
Everything to date sounds like mom and apple pie.
Of course.
We all like to conserve our land.
We all like to nurture our land.
Who, this, this exchange.
Is this, is this not just for, uh, public lands like controlled by the interior department?
This is for any land that's out there and they feel that they can put it into a company and then control it.
Any land?
unidentified
Yeah.
So, um, let's, let's break it down a little bit.
If you're familiar with the conservation easement on private land, That is a device that the land trust, your big environmental land trust, like the Nature Conservancy have been pushing on landowners for a lot of years.
The idea is how they sell it to the landowners is that if you enroll in a conservation easement, your, then your land will never be developed.
And so landowners buy into this because they think, Oh, this means I can pass my land down.
I don't have to worry about it becoming subdivisions.
It can always be an agriculture and that's what they're sold.
But the practicality of that, of what really happens with conservation easement is the development right is sold to the land trust.
They now own that asset.
All the restrictions, what you can and can't do on that land are now what the landowners have to live with.
They're the ones that are told they can only have one house on the land.
They can repair a fence.
They can't build a new fence.
Everything on the day that that conservation easement is signed, What's happening on that land?
That's the baseline.
That's what can continue.
And so you can do things in the contract and write certain things in, but you have to anticipate everything that you might want to do on that land in perpetuity.
These conservation easements are signed in perpetuity, meaning forever.
So forever, that land trust now owns the development rights, which is arguably the most valuable part of that piece of property.
You can go to the Nature Conservancy's balance sheet and you will see in the billions, How much they own in conservation easements worldwide.
So now that conservation easement, which they own.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hang on, hang on, hang on a second.
Does the landowner have, there's not eminent domain.
Now let's leave the public lands out.
I'm talking about private landowners.
There's no eminent domain.
These people set these companies up.
Does the landowner get paid, get compensated either cash or stock in the company for putting his land into this entity?
unidentified
So it depends.
So the land, let's take the conservation easement, the, that development, right.
That conservation easement can be enrolled in the NAC with or without the landowner's permission.
And it's going to be the land trust that is going to reap the profits from that.
Now a landowner can enroll in the NACs.
They can say, Hey, I agree with this concept.
I want to put my land in.
They can do that.
But, um, it's not.
It's going to be, I think it's going to be very difficult for a landowner to do that because what you have, a NAC has to be managed for its sustainability.
So there are only certain activities that now can take place on the land.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
But hang on, but if you get cashed out, if they give you cash or they give you stock, You've got to abide by it.
It's like selling your company.
You've got to abide by, you know, if you sell it, somebody else owns it.
If you're still part of management, you've got to go along with what the guy's putting out the capital.
Why is that any different?
At the beginning of the transaction, you've got one, you've got the easements or the eminent domain.
That's a whole different deal.
They just kind of come and take it and never really give you Adequate compensation.
But I imagine that's a pretty small percentage.
Most of this has to be willing landowners throwing their land in for some sort of compensation, correct?
unidentified
Not necessarily.
No, because that's what's been happening in our country for the past three years under the Biden administration.
On the private land in particular, they have been selling the conservation programs to landowners.
So there's a federal nexus on the land.
A lot of landowners are doing climate smart projects, conservation easements, Conservation reserve programs on their land, which is the federal government paying the money to do these conservation practices.
That creates a federal nexus to the land.
And this is one of the issues that Senator Ricketts raised in his letter signed with Crapo and Risch from Idaho early on in this back in October, is are these lands that have these federal programs on it, can they be enrolled in a NAC Without the landowner's permission.
And of course, SEC hasn't responded to them that yet.
But when you look at the definition, that's the real danger here is landowners are going to be enrolled in this without even knowing it, without having a say in it.
And what happens once they do, they no longer control their land because this SEC rule not only allows the enrollment of these assets into the NAAQS, but then it also gives management authority to the NAAQS.
Over these lands.
So now translate that to our federal lands.
So the rule very clearly says in exhibit three, our national parks can be enrolled in these NACs, these natural asset companies.
And then it gives management authority to the natural asset companies over all the assets held in the NAC.
So now who is managing our federal lands and our parks?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
But hang on a second.
unidentified
Let's talk about...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And I know this comment, I just wonder if people were asking to go to the site, Frank, and to make comments, this is SEC.
How did the SEC, I mean, this would have to be a massive federal law to allow the public lands that are really essentially owned in kind of trust by the government for the American people to transfer them into some sort of private entity or some sort of other entity even managed.
That's just not something the SEC can come up with because the SEC is basically approving The structure of something that will be publicly traded.
That's what their purpose is, to protect Aunt Daisy in Minnesota, right?
They have no jurisdiction or no authority to start taking the, you know, Department of Interior I think owns what, 75% of the lands west of the Mississippi or something like that.
It's some huge, massive amount of land.
They don't have the jurisdiction to just sit there and go, oh yeah, we're going to get the SEC to prove, to sign up these companies and we're going to start putting in Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park and some of these forests up in the Pacific Northwest?
unidentified
Yeah, we've argued that in our comments.
We have.
We've argued that.
We have the same concerns.
But what has happened is New York Stock Exchange.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hold it, Margaret.
But are you saying, hang on, hang on.
But are you saying, I understand we're going to, I understand your comment.
Are you saying actually the way this is structured right now, that the Biden regime can just, once the SEC approves the vessel or the structure of the financial part of this, that they can then, without going to Congress, start just putting in massive federal lands into these natural asset companies?
unidentified
Yes.
Yes, that's exactly what it looks like.
There's no process in there for any other approval.
And they're preparing to do it, Steve, too.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
I mean, let's be clear.
This isn't just a prospect.
That's the plan that is going forward now, is it not, Margaret?
unidentified
Yeah.
So let me give you an example.
The Bureau of Land Management, which manages most of the land in the West, they have proposed a new planning rule in which they will no longer Prioritize the multiple uses defined by Congress on the management of these lands.
They are prioritizing conservation as the priority use of the lands.
This is what this rule essentially would do.
And in this new rule, they are creating conservation leases so that an entity can go out and they can secure a conservation lease on lands that today is being used for grazing, mining, oil and gas.
And then once that conservation lease goes in, that's all that can happen on that land.
And then that lease can be enrolled in the NAP.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, hang on here.
I realize you've got the SEC.
We're going to give comments.
The audience is all into that.
You have this thing called the House of Representatives.
The House, BLM and all these guys come for an annual budget.
Everything about those lands is kind of micromanaged.
I mean, congressmen in the West understand this, in the Intermountain West and in Arizona.
BLM, it probably takes up 50% of their time, besides things like the border.
Are you telling me Congress has the House of Representatives, controlled by the Republicans, have signed off on this?
unidentified
No, they haven't.
But I will tell you that the IEG and the New York Stock Exchange briefed the financial services committee staffs and the LAs from all the members of the staff.
And after that briefing, they decided that the committee would not be involved in this because it is from a self-regulatory organization, the New York Stock Exchange.
And what I was told by one of the staffers is that they will get involved if it's approved, and then they will look at filing a bill that would maybe regulate this, which from our perspective is too late.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hey Frank, we've got to bounce, but we're going to need a much deeper drill down by Margaret and yourself because now my head's blown up.
I knew it would.
So one thing we did in the Trump administration when we first won, as you know, Frank, I had people come in and brief them, the president-elect and Reince and myself and others, just what's in the government.
And your jaw drops.
When you look at the Department of Agriculture, Interior, these are massive organizations.
I mean, Interior, it's the biggest leaseholder and landlord in the world.
I mean, the amount of magnificent land we control.
Run by a true communist.
She's the most out of control of everybody on that.
So, I mean, she's so radical.
So we're going to need to drill down on this and we're going to need to get some courage.
This is outrageous.
I mean, the New York Stock Exchange, the SEC, those are kind of regulatory things for the structures of transactions and financial instruments to make sure Aunt Daisy in Minnesota can't get picked off by some Wall Street sharpie. That has nothing to do with the with the held in trust of the greatest most magnificent land on man's earth which would be the United States of America, particularly the western part of So this is crazy.
Where do they go right now?
I want everybody in the audience to go to the site, find out more about Margaret, more about the sovereignty issues, and to start to give comments.
But we need, obviously, a deeper debriefing of this to find out.
First off, it's outrageous that we're making comments to the SEC when this thing ought to go back to the beginning and say, who even approved of this crap?
Right?
This is outrageous, and any Republican That allowed our staffer that allowed this to happen and get to this place has got to be called out and held accountable for this.
This is exactly the problem we have.
We're asleep at the switch and the guys on the opposite end, they're working 24 seven and they're looking at every scheme possible to affect the same thing happened in the WHO.
As you know, that situation there.
So Frank, where do people go?
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
Well, I've let Margaret talk about her website.
Let me just say for action purposes, and this is for all the reasons you've just mentioned, Steve.
The imperative need for action, action, action is to go to SovereigntyCoalition.org just to simplify the process of expressing your opposition to both the SEC, and you're right, Steve, this isn't an accident that they're using this backwater.
This is part of the plan.
But we also need you to go to your representatives as well, and you can do both at SovereigntyCoalition.org.
unidentified
Perfect.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hey, Margaret, where do people go to find out more about you and your fight here?
unidentified
Yeah.
So we're americanstewards.us.
That's where you can find us.
And we do have a NAC page up, which, which gives the link to that, um, to what Frank just talked about, which is fantastic.
I'm so glad he set that up.
It's also got a lot of the kind of background information on it.
So you can dive deeper in some of the key letters that have been written.
Representative Hagman wrote a really good letter that really got us the second, uh, the reopening of the comments that we just secured.
And then, uh, Treasurer Oaks, Marla Oaks from Utah has been sounding the alarm on this for several months as well.
And he's done a Wall Street Journal op-ed and some really good stuff that he's done on that too.
So that's a good source to kind of see what all has been done on this so far.
Yeah.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
And Steve also... Real quickly, what is American Stewards?
I love the name.
I love the brand.
What is it?
We're a property rights organization.
stick back around.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Get that to my team. I want to push that again.
Real quickly, what is American Stewards? I love the name.
I love the brand.
What is it?
unidentified
We're a property rights organization, so we fully believe that we either own property or we are property.
And so everything that we do at American Stewards is work to help Americans own the land, not government, but Americans own the land and resources in our country so that we then can control our government.
And I'm out.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
And not the Chinese government.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Not the CCP.
Margaret, do you have social media?
unidentified
Yes, we do.
ASL underscore Liberty is our Twitter account.
And, uh, we do have an Instagram account too.
And the Twitter one is, is, um, one that we're, we're doing a lot of work on right now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay.
Uh, this is a bombshell.
We're going to get all over it.
Thank you for doing this.
We're going to have you back on again.
Let me get my head around this tonight.
Amazing.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼
God bless you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You know, this is like, this is worse.
This is worse than the WHO, right?
These people are working 24 seven.
They got smart, cunning people on the other side.
You got to keep on top of them and nonstop EJ.
Uh, the 19th looms now looks like we're gonna have a fight over the border, but tell me, brother, you've been the number one guy to say, Hey, Steve, I think we're gonna get to 34 trillion pretty quickly.
We pass that.
And also you were the first guy to say, Hey, Steve, I think the way they're short-term financing this, we're going to be over a trillion dollars in interest expense.
Even they now admit to admit that they agree with EJ and Tony four months after you first broke it.
We're now going to be spending over a trillion dollars in interest minimum, sir.
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
That's absolutely right, Steve.
And I have to say, you know, it really is bittersweet here.
It was much more fulfilling when accurate prognostication under Trump meant things like rising real wages, a growing middle class, and American prosperity.
And today it means exactly the opposite.
You're absolutely right.
We are seeing the debt and the deficit spiral out of control, and we are quickly getting to the point where interest on the debt is eclipsing all categories in the budget.
Not most categories, but all.
There's literally only two line items in the Fiscal Services Monthly Report that are larger.
That's the Department of Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration.
Everything else on an individual basis is smaller than how much we're paying just in interest.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You've also said, because this is the great thing about EJ, as you can tell, he's a lot of laughs.
So every month he's in the numbers.
EJ, you're the first guy to say, hey, look, they can lie or they want.
You see the tax revenues are coming in light on capital gains, etc.
That shows you the economy slowing.
But you're the first to point out, hey, Steve, we're running at $200 billion plus a month in deficits.
Is that still the case?
And do you project that out?
Because the conversations on Capitol Hill, essentially, and I hate to say this, are meaningless.
I mean, they're talking about 10B in here, 80B in here.
They're not grasping the crisis we're in about these deficits, are they?
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
No, not at all, Steve.
You're absolutely right here.
What they're talking about are essentially just drops in the bucket.
We need radical spending reform if we hope to turn this thing around.
Anything else is essentially just stretching out the time horizon.
It's kicking the can.
Down the road, it's buying us a little bit of time, but that's only valuable if you're eventually going to make the kinds of cuts that are needed here.
And right now, I mean, other than what, a dozen people in the House of Representatives?
It really doesn't seem like there's any appetite in Congress to actually give us the kind of spending cuts that we need to put us on anything that even resembles a path to a sustainable path to some kind of fiscal sanity here in D.C.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
When you talk about cuts to discretionary spending, I'm gonna hold you through the break.
We got about a minute here, about 30 seconds.
What are you talking about?
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
We are talking about radical cuts here.
We're talking about putting spending back to where it was several years ago.
And you may think, OK, several years, that's not a big deal.
Yes, it is, because all of the emergency COVID spending that should have been one time has been replaced by the Biden administration with other new spending, mostly entitlements.
And so you have essentially doubled outlays.
So you need to radically cut back on what the government is spending today.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, E.J.
Hanger, for one second, I want to get to that.
We go to pre-COVID levels.
I think everybody would say back in the fall of 2019 was the golden age of the 21st century as far as the economy hitting on all cylinders around President Trump.
I think the government was big enough, right?
That's what we're talking about.
That would get, I think, 40% cut right off the bat.
Short break, E.J.
and Tony, Rahim Kassam, Ben Hornwell, all next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room Battlegrounds with Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
you Okay, so EJ, real quickly, tell me how we go back.
This shouldn't be that heavy a lift, I would think.
How can we go back just to pre-COVID?
Pre-COVID, the government's 40%, spending's 40% increase since COVID.
How difficult would it be us to go back just to pre-COVID levels?
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
Well, not difficult from an accounting standpoint.
We would just simply have to essentially undo everything that Biden has done to date.
It comes down to, though, there's no political will in D.C.
to actually make that happen right now.
And what's really fascinating, Steve, is that if you were able to actually do that, to take us back to 2019 levels, you would find that current receipts today, in other words, how much the government is taking in with tax revenue, that actually exceeds the $4 trillion in change that we were spending in 2019.
So you actually would go from a massive multi-trillion dollar deficit to a surplus, just like that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Are you calling on that to happen?
Because we're a big proponent of that.
Tell me, walk me through the plan, the action plan of how we make that happen.
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
Oh, I am absolutely an advocate for that.
And by the way, I don't think that that's just an end goal.
I think that's a good first step.
You know, President Trump did a lot of good for this nation from an economic standpoint, but more could be done.
It was not perfect by any stretch.
And a lot of that had to do not just with the president, but who he had to deal with in Congress.
But how do we actually get back to 2019?
Again, I think you just have to simply go through the logbook of everything that President Biden has done and simply reverse it, claw back all of the spending, and that's the only way that we're going to get, again, to any kind of trajectory that will get us to somewhere resembling fiscal sanity. Okay, EJ, we're hurtling towards the 19th.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
We're going to have you on a lot to break all this down.
Right now, it looks like the throwdown is going to be on the border, but other things are going to pop up and, of course, all this.
They're going to try to throw in an unfunded supplemental, too, to cover the money laundering operation in Ukraine, so we'll get to all of it.
In the interim, where do they go to get to you?
Where to feed where you're putting up great stuff, plus the website?
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
Best place to find me is going to be there on Twitter or X and the handle is at real E.J.
Antoni.
I'll post my interviews, my articles and all of my data analysis that I do each day, breaking down the numbers for people.

E.J.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Antoni.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
ej antoni ▲ ● ▼
Thank you for having me.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Rahim Ghassan joins me.
And now we're able to track down O'Keefe.
We're going to get him in a second.
So Rahim, you've got two amazing pieces, one about O'Keefe's video yesterday, also one about NGOs.
I'm going to get to those, then bridge into O'Keefe.
But I want to start first, you had a piece on the CIA the other day, involvement in 24.
You've got another amazing piece that just popped on The Globalist.
They're all focused on the 2024 election, the intelligence services, the deep state, the administrative state, and now our brothers and sisters in the UK and in Europe.
And people got to know MI5 and MI6 are close working partners with the CIA and DNI.
Talk to me about that first, what you're breaking over at National Pulse, then I want to get into the O'Keeffe of it all.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, thanks, Steve.
And by the way, I just want to mention for the audience here, every time I'm back in Washington, D.C., all you hear behind me is sirens.
It's just constant.
It's unavoidable.
It's just sirens after sirens.
It's an absolute hellhole here.
So I apologize about any background noise.

Hold it, but we had a cold open with Molly Young-Fast today saying that crime is down, that every indice of life being better for the American people is on fire right now for Biden.
If crime is down, why are the sirens, are they just going over to help little old ladies cross the street?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
No, it's peace sirens.
They're very peaceful sirens.
And Molly John Fast is a crime, so I won't even get into that.
I have to, and I saw the cold open this morning, and that hair is a crime.
I just, I can't stand it.
I mean, this city is just abysmal now, and everywhere you go is miserable and crime-ridden, and I just had to make mention of it.
Because this is what's at stake here, right?
This is the country that they've built.
This is the city that they've presided over.
This is the city they locked down.
to issue, you know, usher Biden in by night all those years ago now.
And this is what's at stake this year.
People have to know this.
And when you look at the stuff that we've got up on the site right now, right, you talked about the O'Keefe story, but also, yeah, the CIA guy who says, look, the intel agencies are obviously going to try and intervene in this coming election.
And we have another story up that people need to know about on the site right now about the British government.
These three senior former diplomats of the British government saying, hey, we need to have crisis talks.
They said secret meetings about how we're going to thwart a second Trump term when it comes to NATO, when it comes to Ukraine, when it comes to foreign interventions.
So it's not but, you know, January the 5th.
And we're already seeing this this Unholy alliance of all of the, I mean, truly evil alliance of all of these different elements coming together and saying, yeah, not by us, not in our name, not now, not ever.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Look, we caught up in 16.
We caught him by surprise.
You were there.
You were there.
You know that they started the nullification project that night, that night on the, on the 8th of November.
When we won.
In 2020, they got ahead of it and stole the election.
They're not prepared to have the populist nationalist movement in this country take control of the government again.
They're just not.
And we're going to have to fight every day, not just to win.
We're going to have to then fight to govern.
That's what these guys are saying.
Two things.
Number one, the intelligence agencies, veterans saying, hey, we got to get involved now to stop this thing.
And the smart guys in England, the globalists in England, the kind of EU types, the non-Brexit guys in the government are saying, hey, if they fail to stop it, we have to make sure that he can't implement anything here in the relationships with Europe that would really give America her sovereignty back and would really fall in line with the America First agenda, correct?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
That's exactly correct.
And, you know, the James O'Keefe video was so important from Phoenix that it ties all of this together as well, because something that they uncovered, which I don't necessarily know that they uncovered, was that the shelter and the agency, the organization down there, One of the guys said is being run by the International Rescue Committee.
Well, the International Rescue Committee is a massive billion-dollar-a-year operation run out of New York City, but who's it run by?
It's run by the guy who ran policy operations for none other than former Prime Minister Tony Blair in the United Kingdom all those years ago, right?
All those Iraq War years ago.
He then happened to be the favorite to take over the Labour Party.
He lost that battle to his brother, no less, and then hot-footed it over to midtown Manhattan, where he pulls down a million dollars a year in salary right now, and his job is to run mass illegal migration operations into the United States.
They brag about it on their own website.
So you talked about the policy stuff earlier and you're not going to get tossed the keys back, but you have to have policy things ready to go day one.
The one thing I think needs to be done ready to go day one is to prosecute these non-governmental organizations, especially the ones with large amounts of foreign money, large amounts of foreign influence.
Foreign leadership who are presiding over the criminality, the mass criminality, I'll say it because Nikki Haley won't, coming into the United States of America.
To borrow a phrase from Donald Trump, it is poisoning the blood of America, Steve, and there's foreign nationals, unfortunately from my country, at the heart of it.

You got Miliband.
This is the new editorial that's up.
You're doing an editorial every couple of days.
How do people get to National Pulse?
We keep saying National Pulse has got to be part of your media diet at the beginning of the day to kind of keep up with everything, particularly the analytics you put in and the contextualization.
So where do people go?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, the context is key.
You know, we are very much a sort of industry magazine for the America First movement out there.
We'll tell you what is going on, what's behind the scenes, what are the buried leads, what the mainstream media, what the corporate media won't tell you.
And in a lot of cases, contextualizing a lot of the stories that the conservative media tells you just the basics of.
It's the nationalpulse.com forward slash war room.
You come in, you sign up, make sure you get the newsletter, make sure you download the app.
That's all free.

steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Raheem, thank you very much.
Do you have Twitter?
What's your social media?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, unfortunately, still have to be there to get the stories out there.
It's at Raheem Kassam and at The Nat Pulse.
Also on Twitter, on Truth Social, on Instagram, you name it, we're there.
Telegram, we're there.
I'm angry!
I'm genuinely angry!
I'm angry about the weather up here, but I'm genuinely angry about what we've learned today, what David Miliband is doing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
they're all linked. Rahim, you don't have that cheery look you had the last couple of weeks. You're back to normal. I'm angry. Overcast, cold.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
No, I'm genuinely angry.
I'm angry about the weather up here, but I'm genuinely angry about what we've learned today, what David Miliband is doing. I'm genuinely apoplectic about it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No, no. Rahim's been fighting with Miliband for many decades.
That was your nemesis on Brexit when you got the sovereignty of the British people back, so you don't want to give it away.
We don't certainly want to give ours away.
Rahim, thanks so much.
National Pulse, let's get up.
Mo and Grace Chong, let's push it out.
I want everybody to get access to Rahim and all the great writers they've got over there.
I just want to play a clip from yesterday.
I want to get O'Keefe.
People are still buzzing about this.
As you know, in the morning show, we actually had Kerry Lake on to talk about it.
Let's go and play it.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
These are migrants on the bus.
Are you transporting migrants to the airport, sir?
Shut the door right in my face.
One of the companies that transports the migrants is Jet Limousine, which we learned is a subcontractor to a group called Charter Up.
These bus companies have instructed their drivers not to talk to any O'Keefe journalist and to even call the police on us when they see us.
More on that soon.
Hi, sir.
Sir, who do you work for?
Sir, I'm wondering, um, who do you work for and are you shipping migrants on buses on the hour?
unidentified
I work for Nanyo.
Nanyo in your business, man.
Huh, yeah, I'm looking dangerous now. Yeah, they're looking anxious now. Yeah, look at their faces now. What is that?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
That tape is unbelievable James O'Keefe joins us.
Kerry Lake said off of your reporting that you can go to Sky Harbor, particularly in the overnight flights.
She said two-thirds of these flights are packed with the illegal aliens being shipped into the interior of the country by groups like you identified.
Give us an update.
We broke this yesterday with you here.
Our audience has been going crazy sharing it.
It's gone viral.
What's the latest?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
Well, Steve, it's remarkable the impact this has had.
I'm shocked that nobody else is really reporting on it.
And I don't think that anybody has shown the location.
I say the address because this is a public facility.
It's 1211 East Apache in Phoenix, just a mile from Phoenix Sky Harbor.
And Elon Musk has responded a few times here.
I think the biggest reaction I heard Rahim say, $415 million in federal money.
It's coming from HHS and other agencies.
People did not know that.
The International Rescue Committee, which is a $1.3 billion in revenue organization, is responsible for this.
And it's rare, Steve, that you actually catch a bribe on tape.
I've talked to Kerry about this too.
I said, hey Kerry, have you ever been, because Kerry Lake was a local reporter in Phoenix, have you ever been bribed or offered money to go away from reporting on something?
So I think it's just the compelling nature of the video shows, I guess, the ethos of the place.
It's just they're obviously doing something they're very ashamed of.
And I don't think we know the full story, just the tip of the iceberg.
But this is a developing story.
I have a part two coming where we actually walk onto the buses.
They keep calling the sheriff's office on me.
And Steve, a lot of these local police officers like what I do.
So they're caught in this ridiculous situation where they're being called to, I guess, try to arrest me for photographing this.
So this is the developing story.
We have more to come and we're getting reactions to it live.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I just want to make sure because I heard yesterday from you and then I've heard from other people.
There are a lot of just normal Americans that when this International Rescue Committee charters buses or does everything, there's a lot of ordinary Americans that don't support this at all.
And that's becoming a lot of whistleblowers.
People are coming to you that are part of the logistics of this, but they know something's not right and they want to get the word out.
And so a lot of the things that you're getting and following up on are coming from Normal, everyday Americans, not MAGA, not even Trump supporters, just people to see that something's not right here in our country and they're coming to you to expose it.
Is that essentially the direction of where you're heading on this?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
Yes, it's actually become a phenomenon.
I've never seen anything like this.
I've been doing this, as you know, for close to 20 years since I was a teenager.
I've never seen anything like this.
The people who are, you said, logistics, Charter Up pays Jet Limousine and all these Bus companies, there are a lot of conservatives working for, working for these bus companies.
Okay.
And they're pissed and, and they're, they're, they're leaking to me.
I get the pilots in American airlines and Delta are all talking to me.
Pilots are by and large, about 80 to 90% conservative or Republican.
And the ticket counter agents are about 80 to 90% liberal or leftist.
I got a couple of ticket agents in American airlines, terminal four and Delta and all these places talking to me.
And it's like, Sami stopped.
They're pulling me by the shirt, saying, James, I gotta tell you about these buses.
Something is happening in the zeitgeist of America.
I've never seen anything like it, where people, there's this groundswell, this bubbling discontent, and they've got nowhere to go.
They certainly can't go to any media organization.
So a lot of them are sending me messages on Signal.
And that's how I know this.
And every time I break one of these videos, Steve, I just get an exponential uprising of people on the inside.
unidentified
And it's rare that we... This is what I want to, yeah.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
That's where we want to push it at.
But I got to go to something for, because we've got a hard out here in about five minutes.
When you're doing this in Phoenix, Phoenix is one of the largest, I mean, Carrie came out of there with, she was the number one anchor, but Phoenix, I think is the fourth or fifth biggest TV market in the nation.
The news there is every bit as good as the news in Chicago, maybe not New York and DC or LA, but it's next tier.
I mean, investigative reporters, massive news operations, huge ratings, tons of money.
So between public officials, which you've done more than anybody in public corruption, between public officials and a massive media, How can it be James O'Keefe that breaks the story about the secret operation going on that is actually hundreds of millions of dollars?
Why does it take O'Keefe Media Group to do this when you've got a massive news operation of every different channel and independent channels there, plus newspapers, plus you've got all these government officials?
How did that happen?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
It's a great question.
You and I have been talking about this for 15 years.
I think it has to do with the relationship between these media organizations.
They don't want to question or be adversarial to the situation currently happening.
They can't, they can't, they have to be friendly.
I think there was a report on this school like four years ago or something, but it was one of those, you know, humanitarian pro exposés.
They didn't want to really reveal.
They wanted to be cozy with the people.
They didn't want to question or be skeptical of what's occurring.
I have no idea.
It's an enigma to me.
And one of the things that was remarkable about what I witnessed is that just, Steve, just by me standing on the street on a public sidewalk, they called the police on me.
And the buses, as they were coming to pick up the migrants, they do it every hour on the hour at 1211 East Apache.
When they saw me standing there, the buses wouldn't stop.
And they were avoiding swerving me.
I've never seen anything.
And of course, now what we need to do is put more pressure on them.
Show up there every day with cameras.
You have a First Amendment right to do that.
But the media is beyond broken.
It's corrupt.
And citizens have to do the job.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You've got a big drudge link.
I know you're working on getting the tape out for the rest.
Walk us through just, we've got a couple of minutes.
Where is this going to develop and when do we anticipate the next drop?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
What's going to develop is we have footage.
I went on the buses.
I followed the buses to Phoenix Sky Harbor, this is Terminal 3 and 4, and they called the police.
They swerved across the road, basically reckless driving, and tried to smash into my car.
I was driving my vehicle.
unidentified
Wow.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
And they tried to bang- the buses tried to- this is like out of the movie Speed.
I mean, this is remarkable.
And what it shows me is that we've scratched the surface with this NGO called International Rescue, American Red Cross, the Catholic charities are involved.
But there's something else more sinister that I haven't gotten into.
I'm trying to dig further.
I think we're really on to something here and I'm calling on people to contact us on Signal.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Terminal 3 and 4 at Sky Harbor International Airport are domestic terminals.
So James O'Keefe is following the buses where they're going to drop them off to take flights into the interior of this country.
That's the scandal here.
They ain't sending them home.
They're going into the interior of the country.
How do people get to O'Keefe Media Group?
How they follow you on social media.
This story is on fire right now.
Our audience, and that's what we had Kerry on today, talk about it.
Then Rahim wrote this great piece this afternoon, and we want to have you follow up.
So we're all over it.
Where do people go, James?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
People, a lot of these pilots, and the most important thing is if you're living in Phoenix and you have information, our signal number is 914-315-9415.
You can see that number on my social media, Instagram, Telegram, X, Rumble.
We're everywhere.
tips.okifmediagroup.com.
This story is viral, grassroots internet story, but the call to action here is contact me if you're a bus driver.
Steve, I've got bus drivers driving these buses who are currently going to record, okay?
So this is a phenomenon of whistleblowing and insiders.
That's what we need.
And then stay tuned in the coming days for our next installment of the video, of the next video to come.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
James, you stay safe because they got a big targeting back, whether it's the FBI or these international groups.
So stay safe, brother.
Go with God.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼
Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
James O'Keefe, the greatest investigative reporter of his generation.
And I say that having observed this guy now for about 14 years.
He's absolutely fearless.
I mean, we really are honored to have people, what we call the Fight Club, come on here.
But I tell you, this thing on O'Keefe is blowing up.
When you look at these international organizations, NGOs, and you're putting up half the money, almost $500 million of taxpayer money to do this, to exacerbate and assist the people that are invading the country.
Okay, we're back tomorrow at 10 a.m.
The show is just so packed right now.
