You I I | |
| Several administrations Administrations it has been commonplace when there is an order like this given to see presidents talk about it on camera There is no plan for President Biden to address us on camera this evening, and that might be because he needs to smooth things over with members of his own party first, because just in the last hour or so, progressive members of Congress, including Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, and Mark Pocan, are putting out the word publicly | ||
| They think these strikes were illegal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They think they violated the Constitution because President Biden acted on his own. | |
| He did not get permission from Congress first. | ||
| Sean? | ||

|
Well, we've heard past, you know, pinprick responses, like in the case of our troops being attacked in Iraq and Syria. | |
| You know, just a few days earlier—think about this, Peter. | ||
| I was watching your questioning in the White House briefing room. | ||
| We might not have had a secretary of defense if this happened just a few days earlier, but at least we found out the mystery of what was going on there. | ||

|
The video shows the plane taking off. | |
| It's so interesting. | ||
| you know, that geopolitical dance that is taking place there. | ||
| Barack Obama tried that pivot to Asia, right? | ||
| Didn't work out so well for him either. | ||
| Just the Middle East keeps sucking American leaders back. | ||
| And it's not just the security issues around these Houthi attacks. | ||
| This has an impact on the economy. | ||
| These boats are now having to go all the way around Africa and the Horn of Africa to get to Europe and to get to America. | ||
| That, guess what that does? | ||
| That jacks up the price of goods and doesn't help Yeah, we've had one foreign policy expert after another over the past decade complaining about the fact that the United States is too focused on the Middle East. | ||
| We need to do our pivot to Asia. | ||
| You saw the Trump administration saying, oh, we're going to do a peace deal in the Middle East with all these countries. | ||
| We're going to pay them off. | ||
| We know what they need. | ||
| We know what they want. | ||
| And we're going to push the Palestinian cause to the side. | ||
| We're going to just ignore it. | ||
| Screw them. | ||
| These Sunni Arabs hate them anyway. | ||
| And we'll see what happens. | ||
| You can't escape history. | ||
| You can't escape history. | ||
| This has been an ongoing wound since 1948. | ||
| Settlers can't go in and make matters worse. | ||
| And President Biden does understand this. | ||
| They're gonna have to have a two-state solution. | ||
| And until we do, this continues. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

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

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

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| It's Friday, 12 January in the year of the Lord 2024. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| A lot to get to today, including expanding war in the Middle East. | ||
| You just heard Joe Scarborough right there. | ||
| Settlers can't go in and make things worse. | ||
| Joe Scarborough taking the party line of the crazy left-wing and bad and radical left-wing Sharia supremacists. | ||
| as they try to drive Israel into the sea, and they're coming here to the United States. | ||
| Remember, you're just settlers, you're just pioneers, you're usurpers of the rightful rights to the land. | ||
| So Joe Scarborough right there, I know he's a hammerhead, but he's a dangerous hammerhead because he just spouts what the left tells him to. | ||
| So a lot going on. | ||
| The voice of reason here, I hate it when the Democrats are the voice of reason. | ||
| As you know from watching the show, we've been hammering the table for a long time about forcing Biden to the table about war powers. | ||
| Because we're essentially in a situation in Ukraine that the Republicans should have called Biden to the table and to the House two years ago. | ||
| And we would have had a logical plan in Ukraine, not just the death of 100,000 Ukrainians. | ||
| troops in a slaughterhouse over there. | ||
| We actually had a plan, you could vote up and down, you could hold people to that vote. | ||
| Right now, this thing is out of control and expanding in the Middle East. | ||
| And my question, Jack Posobiec, my question, we back the Arabs, the Saudi Arabians, because remember, people, and I think Ben sent a map, The Red Sea is basically the entryway to the Suez Canal. | ||
| This is all about European shipping. | ||
| It's not about Americans. | ||
| It's not about shipping coming to the United States. | ||
| It's about European shipping. | ||
| You have the Royal Navy with a couple of combatants, I think, there. | ||
| Other than that, there's no real focus by Europe. | ||
| The Saudis criticized this last night. | ||
| The Saudis have been fighting the Houthi rebels who are Persian-backed rebel group in Yemen. | ||
| Because they're so incompetent. | ||
| As much money as we give them, as much arms we give them, the Saudis don't know how to fight. | ||
| Let's be just brutally frank about that. | ||
| This is the Saudis fight and the Europeans fight, yet the carrier battle groups are the ones under attack and the carrier battle groups are the ones dropping the hammer last night. | ||
| And I 100% agree with the Democrats and not Lindsey Graham and the Forever War crowd. | ||
| This was an illegal attack last night. | ||
| Joe Biden does not have the power Well, Steve, you're exactly right in terms of the War Powers Act, that Biden does not have this authorization. | ||
| And of course, by the way, this is something that Biden himself said all the way back in 2020. | ||
| We've pulled up the tweets, we've got Kamala Harris' tweets, that they themselves made these statements all the way back in 2020 and 2018 when they were talking about, of course, President Trump. | ||
| And by the way, so right now the forced laydown, you've got the Eisenhower carrier battle group, carrier strike group operating in the Gulf of Aden that's just off the coast of Yemen, but the UK, they don't have a carrier there, so they had to launch their strikes all the way down from Cyprus, all the way from RAF airbase Akhateri, so talking about a 3,000 mile round trip for those fighters and bombers that came down all the way through the Red | ||
| Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aden, of course, astute members or veterans of the Navy will remember that this is the same area where the USS Cole attack took place the last time the United States almost lost a destroyer, which was right there in Amman, just next to Yemen. | ||
| And so, this question of why are we so focused on the Red Sea? | ||
| People need to understand, this is the flow of oil. | ||
| The flow of oil now to the Persian Gulf, from the Persian Gulf, through the Gulf of Aden, through the Red Sea, through the Gulf of Suez. | ||
| That's what this has all been about. | ||
| This is the connection between Ukraine, between Russia, and all of this. | ||
| to what we're seeing now because they don't need the Houthis, no, they don't need a navy to be able to do this because we've made ourselves completely dependent on Middle East oil. | ||
| Meanwhile, what's the Middle East done? Oh, well, two weeks ago, BRICS just expanded. | ||
| So, you've got BRICS, which is the response to the G7. They just added Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. So, guess what? That's every single country in the region is now siding economically against the United States. You know who's leading BRICS financially? It's China. China's looking out and has come down and condemned these attacks. Russia's condemned these attacks. And so, in a post-October 7th world, now keep | ||
| in mind, the Houthis have been bombed for years, okay? | ||
| There were bombings that went on. The Saudis have been bombing them into oblivion for a very long time. There were strikes that were going on in the Obama administration. But in a post-October 7th world, in a post-Ukraine Why? | ||
| All of the quote-unquote Pax Americana, which supposedly existed beforehand, is crumbling and falling apart. | ||
| You're not going to get the Arab nations to back this now. | ||
| You're not going to get... You know, Saudi's been awfully quiet about this. | ||
| You notice all of our normal partners have been awfully quiet about this. | ||
| And oh, by the way, I thought that Biden was going to put together a coalition. | ||
| Yeah, the coalition is down to two nations in the Red Sea. | ||
| And CNN is up there just blatantly lying to us that Lloyd Austin is directing the airstrikes from his hospital bed. | ||
| I don't know if you saw that, Steve. | ||
| That CNN actually claims that a source in the Pentagon is telling him that Lloyd Austin is sitting up in his bed like he's playing Risk. | ||
| You know, while he's hooked up to the heart detector, saying, Oh yeah, we're gonna bomb here, we're gonna bomb there. | ||
| Steve, they understand what the neocons want here is escalation. | ||
| They want to drive us into an unavoidable war with Persia. | ||
| And we've talked about this here on this program for a long time. | ||
| The strategic choke points are what are being used as an entree into this because they're going to turn around and say, Well, you know, the Houthis wouldn't have been able to do this if it wasn't for Iran, and Hamas wouldn't have been able to do their attack if it wasn't for Iran. | ||
| Lindsey Graham is already out there calling for this. | ||
| Rand Paul, I commend him, by the way, who's just started a new Never Nikki pack. | ||
| I think that's fantastic to block Nikki Haley from, hopefully, from winning anything in the primaries. | ||
| I don't think she will. | ||
| But also keeping her off the ticket, Rand Paul. | ||
| Maybe take a look at the ticket there. | ||
| I think President Trump could use him in his wing and less of Lindsey Graham. | ||
| But this is what the goal is, Steve, and it's been their goal for a long time, for 20 years. | ||
| They want to take on Iran. | ||
| They want strikes up there. | ||
| They want the United States to be plunged further into now a Middle Eastern conflict. | ||
| So now you've got the Middle East kicking off. | ||
| We're already in sunk into Eurasia and oh by the way Taiwan's got a huge election coming up. What tomorrow? | ||
| No, this is a look you can't have two people That are more dedicated to the free navigation of the oceans than Jack Basobic and Steve Bannon Jack, you were in the naval intelligence officers for many, many years. | ||
| I was a naval officer. | ||
| But this is Mahan. | ||
| This is the British Empire. | ||
| This is all of it. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But what I'm not in for is why is it always the United States? | ||
| And you have to do these things. | ||
| For instance, let's be blunt in that it's reported at MSNBC. | ||
| This is not stuff going to the United States. | ||
| This is oil and goods and materials from Asia going up through the Suez Canal to Europe. | ||
| And next week, Jack, before I go to break and I want to hold you through, I've got Ben Horn in Rome, we've got the World Economic Forum. | ||
| They're going to be there next week, and one of the central things they're talking about is all the problems with extreme weather and climate change, and also the global problem with misinformation. | ||
| Misinformation would be, you know, what they named Natalie Winters' misinformation for last year. | ||
| You know, Brookings said we were the biggest shower of misinformation and disinformation. | ||
| Jack Posobiec's evil. | ||
| He was rolled up when he was at Davis. | ||
| The guys at Davos are going to be there at a ski resort with all the world's elites, all the world's wealthy. | ||
| They control the top 1%, the top 10% control 93% of the assets in the world. | ||
| They're sitting there while kids out of Norfolk, Virginia, men and women out of Norfolk, Virginia are on these carrier battle groups. | ||
| Look, the Brits flew in a couple of planes from Cyprus, 3,000 miles, because they don't have any assets down there to fly. | ||
| And I think you got one or two Royal Navy destroyers. | ||
| Europe's not pulling their weight. | ||
| This is the same thing in Ukraine and in NATO. | ||
| These goods are going through the Suez Canal. | ||
| The Suez Canal is about connecting Europe to Asia, not the United States. | ||
| Not the United States. | ||
| Nobody's pitching it. | ||
| And the Saudis, by the way, the Saudis came out yesterday and condemned the attacks on their peninsula. | ||
| The Saudis, the incompetent Saudis, they're buying golf tours, they're putting money in all over the place to make more money. | ||
| Where are they paying for their defense? | ||
| Why are they not involved here? | ||
| The Saudi Navy is not much. | ||
| They've got fighters. | ||
| Why are they not hitting the Houthis? | ||
| Why is it always the United States? | ||
| Not one senior Republican has condemned this. | ||
| It took Democrats. | ||
| What I've been saying, you've got to get Biden to come and stop the happy talk and lay out a war plan. | ||
| Let's have a vote. | ||
| Jack Posobiec. | ||
| Look, Steve, if I may, right before the break, I've been talking about the danger of drone swarm attacks on U.S. | ||
| aircraft carriers, U.S. | ||
| destroyers. | ||
| This is exactly what we're seeing. | ||
| The drone swarms are escalating. | ||
| The Houthis are doing this because they want to deplete our ammunition in the area. | ||
| We've got reports that some of the destroyers, U.S. | ||
| destroyers there, have gone. | ||
| Steve, they've gone Winchester. | ||
| That means we're out of missiles. | ||
| Okay, when you're sending up a million dollar missile against a $5,000 flying lawnmower with a bomb on it, okay, who's going to win that fight financially? | ||
| And then what happens when you can't carry out your unreps, your underway replenishment at sea to rearm? | ||
| Now you got problems because they're going to send up a drone swarm as well as undersea drones. | ||
| And when the Slava Moskva. | ||
| That cruiser went down in the Black Sea. | ||
| That should be a warning to navies around the world. | ||
| Guess what, boys and girls? | ||
| They're coming for us, and they're coming for our sailors. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Jack, hang over a second. | ||
| We've got Ben Horn where we go through this. | ||
| Eli Crane's going to join us. | ||
| Obviously, complete debacle. | ||
| A note to the audience. | ||
| The house leaves in about 15 minutes for the weekend. | ||
| Are you knocking off for the weekend at 1045 in the morning? | ||
| Are you knocking off for the weekend? | ||
| I don't think you are. | ||
| You're in the war room. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| Your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Okay, Basobas is going to hang with us for a moment. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, you've got a very astute observation here about this fiasco. | ||
| Give it to me, brother. | ||
| Good morning, Steve. | ||
| Morning, Jack. | ||
| Well, really, my point here is just building off the back of Paso's excellent introduction to the situation, where he mentions, I think quite eloquently, Jack said $5,000 flying lawnmowers that the Hooters are commanding. | ||
| The figure I picked up was that these things actually cost only $500 to make. | ||
| But what they've been doing since November, when this really all sort of kicked off in the latest phase, is that the Houthis have been trying to destabilize that whole of the shipping lane from the Suez Canal down to the bottom of the Red Sea. | ||
| And doing that, they've created billions of dollars worth of damage due to the destabilization of that shipping trade. | ||
| Now, the Houthis and everyone has said that they've been attacking the shipping indiscriminately. | ||
| That's the precise word they're using, indiscriminately. | ||
| But the one country whose ships they have failed to hit so far is out of China's. | ||
| And that really is under points. | ||
| The key element here, the major maritime power that is not, is so far staying back from this for the time being is China. | ||
| And I think this sort of really underlines the point that Jack was making, that perhaps like exactly like Ukraine, perhaps the underlying objective here has always been as far as China's concerned to wear down the West first in Ukraine, now in the Middle East, so that I think it's reiterated in the last few days before these Taiwanese presidential election, that it hasn't relinquished its desire to take that island. | ||
| Perhaps the underlying objective here, I say perhaps, I think it's quite clear that this is the case, that China's trying to wear down the West. | ||
| But we're playing into their hands, but to Ben's point, the PLA sent out a notification today that they will not stand for any plan, any games, anything that will disrupt the unification of China with Taiwan. | ||
| This is on the eve of the election. | ||
| People should know. | ||
| We're going to have Colonel John Mills and everybody on the afternoon shows, wall-to-wall coverage of the Taiwanese election, including tomorrow morning on our 10 o'clock show. | ||
| But Jack, this is totally taken out. | ||
| This is CCP's plan, this. | ||
| They've used the Houthi rebels who they're in business with, with Persia, because they backed the Mullahs. | ||
| They've got a handful of rebels that are launching drones, you know, you said a lawnmower with a rocket. | ||
| at American battle groups, and next thing you know, you've got our eyes, you know, you've got Joe Scarborough pontificating, oh, we spent too much time on China, it's the Middle East, and settlers, his comment about settlers, about the Israelis being settlers, right, plays right into the left-wing meme about Americans, our pioneer ancestors, the frontier ancestors, that we're just settlers here, and we've really stolen this land from indigenous people. | ||
| Yeah, colonization. | ||
| Your thoughts, Jack Posobiec? | ||
| Well Steve, that's exactly right. | ||
| Now we do have, just talking about carrier force lay-down, we do have the Carl Vinson currently conducting a port visit in Manila in the Philippines, so just across from the Taiwan Strait. | ||
| And then we have the Washington, which is forward deployed to Yokosuka. | ||
| Naval Air, excuse me, Naval Air Base in Japan. | ||
| So we've got two carriers just in within strike distance of Taiwan at the current moment, because look, they understand that China is using the Sun Tzu strategy. | ||
| All right. | ||
| This is what I should say. | ||
| The administration doesn't understand this. | ||
| They're getting people, getting units, getting organizations and extremists that they don't necessarily have to put their fingerprints on. | ||
| To do their work for them, to ratchet up the pressure. | ||
| This is the same thing they do with North Korea, and traditionally have done with North Korea. | ||
| They used them like the pit bull on the chain, that whenever China is getting too much heat on them, they go to the North Koreans and say, hey, why don't you launch some shells at one of the islands on the northern limit line? | ||
| Why don't you launch a couple missiles, lob a few across Tokyo? | ||
| And then suddenly they'll come in and say, oh, we're going to be the big peacemakers. | ||
| We are going to come in and down. | ||
| This is why Trump was working to, and look, let's just drive this all the way back. | ||
| This is what Trump's policies were when it came to peace. | ||
| People could say no, no wars, but they say how did he do it? | ||
| Because he was able to create regional peace plans within the various hotspots of the world. | ||
| He went to the Middle East, and he signed up the Abraham Accords, and he did that by getting the Arab nations on board, including The Saudis were about to come fully on board and at least recognize Israel for the first time. | ||
| Next, we know that he of course conducted one-on-one diplomacy with Xi Jinping, take him down to Mar-a-Lago, as well as one-on-one diplomacy for the first time with Kim Jong-un, being the first president since the war to set foot in North Korea. | ||
| And he did so, by the way, without a guard, without Secret Service there. | ||
| He went alone into North Korea, the only man who ever did that. | ||
| So when we look at this policy of the neocons running the Biden administration, I don't believe for a second that Lloyd Austin is sitting in his hospital bed making these decisions. | ||
| You've got Blinken and you've got Nuland, and it's really Victoria Nuland who is running all of this. | ||
| She is the one who is obsessed with Russia. | ||
| She's obsessed with climate change, regime change in the Kremlin. | ||
| She's obsessed with sending as many Ukrainians to their deaths as it takes because she doesn't actually care. | ||
| And, oh, by the way, she doesn't actually care about the Americans that are on those bases in Iraq and Syria right now, and those American sailors, my shipmates, that are sitting ducks on those destroyers, on those aircraft carriers, on those cruisers operating in the Gulf of Aden right now. | ||
| Those people are the ones who are going to come under harm's way. | ||
| But she doesn't care because she's going to continue ratcheting everything up. | ||
| They've completely lost the plot. | ||
| But Steve, this is what it comes down to because you've got these Trotskyite neocons that are just obsessed with trying to rule the world. | ||
| They're obsessed. | ||
| They're all commies. | ||
| They're the ones that Stalin kicked out. | ||
| They're the descendants, in many cases, of the commies that Stalin kicked out. | ||
| They're obsessed with these parts of the world and trying to push their rule over it. | ||
| And now you've got, remember, Nikki Haley. | ||
| What did Nikki Haley say about Iran? | ||
| She says it's time to finish Iran. | ||
| Finish Iran. | ||
| How do you think the mullahs are going to respond to that? | ||
| How do you think the mullahs are going to respond when they hear Nikki Haley going up in the polls? | ||
| You're not going to finish. | ||
| You're not going to finish. | ||
| This is bird brain. | ||
| This is bird brain because it's Persia, right? | ||
| She has no earthly idea what she's talking about. | ||
| She couldn't pick it out on a map. | ||
| I want to go to the forever more Republicans, though. | ||
| We've had Gates and people criticizing Lindsey Graham, because remember, Lindsey Graham's like McCain. | ||
| They want to go on a bombing run right now. | ||
| This is a guy supported by the arms manufacturers, the fat cats on Wall Street and Silicon Valley that want the forever wars. | ||
| Gates and some guys have had some pushback, but it's really been Ro Khanna. | ||
| And what they're asking for is what this show has asked for from February 22. | ||
| We need to have Biden come under the War Powers Act and make the case of exactly what's going on here. | ||
| Ukraine now on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia. | ||
| We're in a war, in a kinetic, I should say this, we're in a kinetic conflict on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia and the water's right off it. | ||
| Why in the hell are we there and the Saudis are criticizing us and NATO has no ships there. | ||
| Remember, when you don't have insurance, when you don't have a pension, Nikki Haley's talking about taking away your Social Security and your freaking Medicare. | ||
| She wants to go to war with Persia and the fat cat donors she has are all going to be over at Davos next week skiing and hanging out and having expressos and cappuccinos and talking great thoughts. | ||
| They ain't putting a dime to this thing and none of their kids are on those combatants. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, why are the Republicans not stepping up here and demanding Biden come in under the War Powers Act and make his case? | ||
| Steve, you gotta understand, Lindsey Graham is getting twitchy, he's almost orgasmic over this, because he's going to sit there and finally say this, and by the way, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, Nikki Haley, South Carolina, one of the key nodes of the military-industrial complex, in this country. | ||
| By the way, China's all throughout South Carolina. | ||
| Qatar is getting in South Carolina with the deals they have. | ||
| Boeing, of course, comes out of South Carolina with the doors falling off. | ||
| And I said, I was joking on X last night, I said, if we continue to run out of ammo, maybe just send some of the 737 MAX 9s over there so they can drop doors on the Houthis. | ||
| You know, Nikki Haley, this has been their goal, right? | ||
| And this is the goal of the donors Going into them, Steve, it's not about winning the war. | ||
| This is clear. | ||
| It's never about winning the war. | ||
| It's about making the war continuous. | ||
| Because these are the people who profit, these are the people who make money off of the fact that war is a racket. | ||
| These are the politicians, and there's so many of them in the Republican side, and I gotta say it, Steve, I'm just gonna say it, particularly in the United States Senate, that are making millions and millions of dollars. | ||
| And by the way, our senators and congressmen, they're such cheap dates, I feel like, sometimes. | ||
| You look at the amount of money that they're making in terms of political donations, and it's paltry. | ||
| It's pennies. | ||
| It's nothing. | ||
| It's absolutely nothing. | ||
| We are bought and sold by the military-industrial complex, by the Chinese Communist Party, by the Arabs and OPEC, and it's just so silly. | ||
| And the entire world knows this. | ||
| The entire world knows that every single politician For the most part, in Washington D.C., it's just easy to buy them off, give them some stock tips, you say, hey Nancy Pelosi, go make this deal now, make this deal now, make sure you do it before the bombs go off, good, good, good, and you're making money, now you're on track. | ||
| There's one man who isn't part of that system, who wasn't on Epstein's list, and there's a reason that all of the forces in the world are aligned against him. | ||
| They're aligned against him. | ||
| That would be Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th, soon to be 47th President of the United States. | ||
| Jack, how do people get to you? | ||
| I know you're up on Human Events Daily, you're on Twitter non-stop giving out great information. | ||
| Nobody knows this better than you. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Yeah, of course, Human Events Daily will be up there at 2 p.m. | ||
| this afternoon. | ||
| We've got a huge show, fighting show today, walking through all this. | ||
| And Steve, I know you'll be very, very excited. | ||
| In about 30 minutes, I'm doing an interview with Le Pignon in Paris, all about Taylor Swift. | ||
| Oh my gosh, Jack Posobiec. | ||
| That's a total X-ray I would get. | ||
| Posobiec, real quickly, how do people get your amazing, I've gotten so much incredible feedback we had up on Getter. | ||
| We'll put it up again. | ||
| When are you going to replay your series on the revolutions? | ||
| Right, so Chronicles of the Revolution. | ||
| We've gotten a lot of attention about this. | ||
| We're going to set up a separate page on humanevents.com so that people can see this. | ||
| We're also going to be doing a town hall this Sunday night. | ||
| We're going to talk about it some more, but with Chronicles of the Revolution, you can find it on Rumble and everywhere else, and we might be doing some more stuff with that. | ||
| Poso, it's extraordinary. | ||
| Go back to work. | ||
| You had a big show today. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Harnwell's going to stick with us. | ||
| We're going to talk about this War Powers Act. | ||
| Particularly, we're going to talk about the budget, Ukraine, the border. | ||
| The Republicans are leaving town, going home 1045. | ||
| Are you going home at 1045? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| That's when the War Room comes to work. | ||
| We're coming to work to sort this mess out next in the war room. | ||
| Cars and spending deal as Congress has just seven days now to fund the government group of conservative Republicans met with the speaker yesterday over issues like the top line cost of the agreement. While members of the caucus said Johnson agreed to push for a new deal, the speaker himself said he had made no commitments. The framework of that deal, which Johnson agreed to | ||
| already with Senate Democrats and the White House, essentially models the agreement. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. I can't take any more. | ||
| I can't take anymore. | ||
| So Johnson's now committed to five or six different alternatives, right? | ||
| Every time he gets in a room, he commits to something. | ||
| He's committed with Schumer on a deal that's dead. | ||
| Then MTG and all the, you know, Eli Crane, everybody, Eli's going to join us here at the top of the hour. | ||
| They all went in and said, this thing's dead, dead in the water. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| And then he just, he pivoted. | ||
| I'm going to pull it off. | ||
| I'm not going to pull it off. | ||
| He's wandering around saying, I'm very confident. | ||
| I'm not going to get blown out here. | ||
| Yo, dude, I wouldn't be so confident of anything right now. | ||
| You're a mess. | ||
| You're a hot mess. | ||
| Number one, you have a biblical worldview. | ||
| Now I'm just going to go, I'm just throwing this out there. | ||
| I'm not obviously as devout are you, you're one of these super devout evangelical Christians and that I admire you. | ||
| You gotta go read, if the biblical worldview, go dive into the Bible, take the Old Testament and say, you pick it. | ||
| The one thing you see there is, and maybe even after the Bible, after the New Testament, the Acts of the Apostles, and then go into the saints, particularly the 1st century, 2nd century, 3rd century saints of the Church, the beginning years. | ||
| Courage. | ||
| Courage. | ||
| And courage means, in the defining moment, you have to step into conflict. | ||
| Dude, you're just a wimp. | ||
| It's not hacking it. | ||
| The country's in a crisis. | ||
| They announced last night we've had a half a trillion dollar deficit. | ||
| Half a trillion dollar deficit in the first quarter. | ||
| The first quarter of the fiscal year. | ||
| That's from October through December 31st. | ||
| That means, guess what? | ||
| We're on track for at least a two trillion dollar deficit. | ||
| And you're sitting there talking about 16 billion dollars. | ||
| Well, you know, I only control one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth of one-hundredth. | ||
| Dude, shut up! | ||
| I don't want to hear that anymore. | ||
| That's a whiner talk. | ||
| Work with what you got. | ||
| You think at Valley Forge you had anything? | ||
| You think up there on the stone wall at Gettysburg when pickets charged coming at them? | ||
| 15,000 wildcats are coming with them, battle flags. | ||
| What do you think they had? | ||
| Any time in American history, what do you think they've had? | ||
| What do you think John Paul Jones had? | ||
| Had the whole Royal Navy around him. | ||
| What'd he have? | ||
| Stop. | ||
| I don't want to ever hear, well, when you're running out one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth. | ||
| That's wimp talk. | ||
| Talk to me about what you got. | ||
| You got all the leverage in the world if you have the titanium stones to say, hey, guess what, Biden? | ||
| If you're going to have an invasion of the southern border, if you're going to spend money like crazy, if you're going to do this, hey, your illegitimate regime is going to shut down. | ||
| You can suck on this because we are the House of Representatives and I am Speaker of that House, empowered by the Constitution of the United States and the founding fathers of this nation. | ||
| That's what I need to hear. | ||
| I don't need to hear your wimpy, uh, buh-buh, buh-buh. | ||
| And anytime, hey, let me give you another buzzword. | ||
| Anytime this guy says, we're looking for policy wins. | ||
| No, we're looking for massive cuts in spending to save the nation and policy wins with it. | ||
| You're not going to bait and switch this audience. | ||
| People are too smart now. | ||
| They have too much information. | ||
| They know the drill. | ||
| You go on Fox, on TV for stupid people, and sit there and go, we got $16 billion in cuts, we moved $10 billion in IRS money, and we moved another $6 billion of previously designated cover relief Who cares? | ||
| 16 billion dollars, not relevant. | ||
| Grace Chung and then put it up. | ||
| I think it's six days worth of interest. | ||
| Are you crazy? | ||
| Interest is going to be a trillion dollars. | ||
| The country's in a crisis. | ||
| Stop going home at 1045 in the morning with nothing done. | ||
| I don't want to hear, oh, you know, you're going to come back. | ||
| God, we don't have enough time. | ||
| I need a CR. | ||
| You need a CR? | ||
| Where were your asses over the three weeks of Christmas? | ||
| Anybody in this audience take three weeks off? | ||
| You would love to take three weeks off, spend it with your family. | ||
| Maybe at two weeks you say, hey, should I go back to work? | ||
| Kidding. | ||
| You people are going to go down in history as nothing but a bunch of disgusting wimp losers. | ||
| In fact, you're not even going to be remembered by history. | ||
| You're not even going to be remembered by history because you weren't in the fight in the moment you had to be in the fight. | ||
| And we know the only reason you're scared now is because this audience 202-225-3121 call up and let them have the old what for. | ||
| This is just a confusing narrative coming out. | ||
| It's just very simple. | ||
| The answer is no. | ||
| And of course Dave Bretko, when people call up, he says, you know, the donor's having these guys called Brett, and they go, why aren't you guys always saying no? | ||
| Look, dude, before you can reconstruct it, you gotta stop it. | ||
| What are you, idiots? | ||
| You guys always, all you say is no. | ||
| You're so negative. | ||
| It's called command by negation, moron. | ||
| These people are idiots. | ||
| And they're going to come back and they want you to knock on doors, you want to give them money. | ||
| Hey, you tell them before I give you a penny, before I work a phone bank, before I walk a precinct, before I do anything, before I go to a town hall, I want to know one thing. | ||
| What have you done in this moment of the nation's crisis? | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| Are you playing patty cake with Democrats? | ||
| You're going to pass this abomination? | ||
| And are you going to shut down the border of the invasion of our country? | ||
| Because shutting down the border is the easy part, then you've got to deport them. | ||
| And then you've got to make up for all the destruction they've done to the country. | ||
| The education system, the healthcare system. | ||
| How many of those folks have actually come up through the border? | ||
| You have no idea what they're bringing into the nation. | ||
| The crime, the disease. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| And you have the gall Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis sit up there the other night and they're, oh it's entitlements. | ||
| Remember, that's all billionaire talk. | ||
| That's all billionaire talk. | ||
| That's to get your eye off the ball of the massive tax increases for the super wealthy. | ||
| You want to unite the country? | ||
| I got a way to unite the country. | ||
| I can get 80% of the people united in one thing. | ||
| Tax the wealthy. | ||
| They're the ones driving this fiasco. | ||
| They're the ones driving open borders. | ||
| They're the ones giving all the money to NGOs, all the progressive Democrats. | ||
| That's why the progressive Democrats never tax the wealthy. | ||
| You notice that? | ||
| Oh, the feeling, caring Democrats. | ||
| They never tax the wealthy, ever. | ||
| This is a con and a scam. | ||
| Citicorp announced, you know, Larry Fink, Mr. Big Shot, he lays off, what, 600 people yesterday, I think? | ||
| Today, Citicorp announced his sixth of a labor force, I think, of 220 or 200, they announced 60, they're going to get rid of 60,000 people. | ||
| That's a good Biden-Omas organ, 60,000 people. | ||
| 20,000 immediately in the United States, 20,000 Citicorp people gone. | ||
| How's that economy working out for you, Citicorp employees? | ||
| By the way, people in South Carolina, the folks in South Carolina are among the greatest patriots in this nation. | ||
| But you ain't being represented by good folks. | ||
| Lindsey Graham, not a good guy. | ||
| Let me be blunt. | ||
| A little worm. | ||
| And now he's going to have more kids because of the defense contractors. | ||
| This guy keeps winning. | ||
| He's McCain Jr., right? | ||
| He's McCain jr. | ||
| He's up there last night. | ||
| Let's go all the way to Tehran. | ||
| Let's roll baby. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Well, hey, I was on a destroyer off the coast of Persia, right? | ||
| And during the, uh, in the run-up and the workup to the hostage crisis that came later, the hostage, you know, remember that not the we're there for the Oscars, but the, the, the, the Carter's plan to get them out and didn't go so well. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Uh, Persia is a pretty big and unforgiving place. | ||
| There's a map I saw today, put the Middle East, all of it, over the United States. | ||
| Takes about all the United States. | ||
| I think the attack we're going to do is going like from Chicago to New York City at treetop level with those helicopters. | ||
| Didn't quite work out, did it? | ||
| You know why? | ||
| It's a very forbidding place. | ||
| Before you go and put people in harm's way, you got to know what you're going to do and you got to have the commitment to see it through. | ||
| And where are, when you see Davos and all those big shots, you know, drinking the cappuccinos and the espressos and on CNBC and they got the, they got the $5,000 ski suits and they're thinking great thoughts and talking great thoughts about artificial intelligence and how the world's going to be. | ||
| The knitted brown, they're sitting there thinking, you know, explain to people how it's going to be. | ||
| Hey, Are they paying for ships that are down in the Red Sea right now protecting the Suez now trying to keep it up? | ||
| Are their sons and daughters, are their kids on those Navy combatants out of Norfolk, Virginia? | ||
| Are they on those Navy combatants? | ||
| Where are their ships? | ||
| I don't see France. | ||
| And if you see them, it's onesies, twosies. | ||
| NATO, we're supposed to be an alliance. | ||
| Hey, last time I looked, the Suez Canal is your deal. | ||
| Not our deal, your deal. | ||
| Saudis are criticizing this. | ||
| Saudi, you've been begging us for help. | ||
| First thing you came to, Trump was on his bended knee about helping you with the Houthis. | ||
| Helping you with it because you couldn't defeat a bunch of rebels up in the mountain with RPGs. | ||
| Your advanced military was getting their ass kicked all the time. | ||
| And now you're down against us? | ||
| Well then let's bring the fleet home. | ||
| If the Saudis got it and the Europeans won't send anybody, hell with them. | ||
| It's time you got to start putting America first. | ||
| It's time you have to start putting American citizens first. | ||
| And the Republicans worry about the War Powers Act. | ||
| Why can't we demand? | ||
| You have to have Ro Khanna lead you. | ||
| Understand something, Ro Khanna is going to run for President of the United States one day. | ||
| He's out there in Ohio talking economic nationalism. | ||
| Oh, he won't use Bannon and Navarro's term. | ||
| He'll call it economic patriotism. | ||
| But he's up there right now doing what you should do. | ||
| Demand Biden come to the House and lay out a plan. | ||
| What are we doing in Ukraine? | ||
| Oh, let's just give him another $60 billion. | ||
| By the way, note to self, leads during the Hill, any changes to the board at all got totally rejected. | ||
| Boy, where'd you hear that first? | ||
| Was it War Room? | ||
| I told you this was coming, baby. | ||
| I told you this was coming. | ||
| They're gonna happy talk to you. | ||
| And Langford, you know, one of the reasons is, is that Rosemary Jenks came on here, one of the most honest and smart people in this movement, who's been doing this for 30 years, and she called out Langford as a traitor! | ||
| As a trader for what he was doing on his, basically exacerbating the invasion. | ||
| That was going to be your big thing and they understand that's such a farce. | ||
| It's not going to go anywhere in the house. | ||
| It collapsed. | ||
| They said, hey, guess what? | ||
| You just got to give us the Ukraine money. | ||
| Mark my words, they're going to come back next week with the hooties. | ||
| Oh, we got to get to Ukraine. | ||
| We got to keep Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine can't get any more of their own people to fight. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| The working class, the little guy over there is tired of having his sons and daughters thrown into the charnel house. | ||
| Ask the big shots in Davos next week. | ||
| How many of your kids are in Ukraine? | ||
| How much of your personal money is going to Ukraine? | ||
| How much of your country's money is going to Ukraine? | ||
| All you big shots, here's how much. | ||
| Almost nothing. | ||
| Only what they're forced to do to the United States. | ||
| How much? | ||
| Are they matching the 60 billion? | ||
| No, they are not. | ||
| This is a con and a scam. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| We put this nation first. | ||
| We put her sovereignty first. | ||
| And how about this? | ||
| How about this? | ||
| How about this? | ||
| We put the citizens of this country first. | ||
| They're first. | ||
| They're not last. | ||
| They're not last anymore. | ||
| They're first. | ||
| It's not selfish. | ||
| It's the most giving nation on earth. | ||
| You see anybody else patrolling the South China Sea? | ||
| You see anybody else in the Red Sea? | ||
| Yeah, they'll throw up one or two ships for optics. | ||
| No, I'm talking about bringing the heat and bringing the muscle. | ||
| It's always the United States of America and it's always the kids of the deplorable. | ||
| The sons and daughters. | ||
| That's the reality check. | ||
| So don't sit here with your high talk and all your, you know, everything. | ||
| Where are the Republicans? | ||
| Force Biden to come to the House and tell us exactly what in the hell this feckless, hapless, illegitimate hack has got in mind. | ||
| Don't you have the balls to do that? | ||
| Don't you believe in the Constitution? | ||
| Are we just going to start shooting up everywhere? | ||
| Because it's coming. | ||
| Because you didn't hold him accountable. | ||
| That's why he thought he had the authorization for it. | ||
| And does Austin fear you? | ||
| We can have the second hand of the National Command Authority and nuclear weapons in every attack be out of the loop. | ||
| And you know why? | ||
| Because they don't fear you in the House. | ||
| The Armed Services Committee rolls over and gets their belly scratched all the time. | ||
| They don't fear you. | ||
| They don't respect you. | ||
| Johnson, you want to be a hero? | ||
| Don't leave this weekend. | ||
| Go in and say War Powers Act. | ||
| Hey, your budget's finished. | ||
| We're shutting down the border. | ||
| You're not getting a penny. | ||
| We're going to defund it all and bring a government shutdown. | ||
| Shut this illegitimate regime down before it does any more damage to the citizens of this country, our nation, its sovereignty, and the rest of the world. | ||
| Be a hero. | ||
| In fact, don't even be a hero. | ||
| Johnson, just be a man. | ||
| I'm tired of the, I'm a Christian, biblical worldview. | ||
| Hey dude, you keep saying I'm a Christian with a biblical worldview, and doing what you're doing, you're going to have the biggest conversions to Islam ever. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because they're going to say, if that wimp is what a Christian man is, I'm going to try the other thing. | ||
| At least they fight. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Mike Lindell will join us. | ||
| A little fight going on with Mike Lindell. | ||
| We'll get the update on it when we return in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, I've got a lot more to say about this, but Eli Crane is going to be at the top of the hour. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| We won't even have a conversation about that. | ||
| Ask your congressman, here's the thing, instead of the old what for, why don't you get into a Socratic dialogue with the young staff of the Picture Phone Club and just say, hey, look, I'd like to know, we have a $2 trillion deficit right now that McCarthy cut the deal on. | ||
| Just tell him, hey, I'd like to know, whatever congressman you're talking to, what's their plan to actually fund that? | ||
| How are they going to fund it? | ||
| Right? | ||
| And then I'd like to know, since next year is going to be $2 trillion also, and we're already into that year where we got to make that budget, ask them, what are you going to do on that $2 trillion? | ||
| So it's $4 trillion. | ||
| By the way, it's going to be $2 trillion in perpetuity. | ||
| You understand this, right? | ||
| $2 trillion in perpetuity. | ||
| Just ask them. | ||
| Say, hey, look, I'm just some schmendrick. | ||
| I just want to know. | ||
| I'm some simple person. | ||
| I got my number two pencil out. | ||
| I'm going to do some gazintas. | ||
| This gazinta, that times what? | ||
| Just do it. | ||
| Maybe some simple math. | ||
| Not quantum mechanics. | ||

unidentified
|
And the staffer will be hubbada hubbada hubbada hubbada hubbada hubbada. | |
| And then tell him, hey, if you can't answer it, I want to talk to your boss. | ||
| Put some heat on these folks. | ||
| When you see him back in the district, get up in the grill. | ||
| It's time to stop playing nice. | ||
| What are you doing back here? | ||
| You didn't do any town halls over Christmas. | ||
| What are you doing back here? | ||
| You want some you want some feedback? | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Shut it down. | ||
| Mike Lindell. | ||
| How you doing, brother? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I got very disturbing news, and I'm bringing it to your show, this announcement. | |
| Oh, great. | ||
| I'm glad you're bringing disturbing news. | ||
| It's been such a sunshiny show this morning. | ||
| Hit me, brother. | ||
| Let's get it all. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| We got big shoulders here in the room. | ||
| We can take it. | ||
| What do you got? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, as you know, Steve, ever since I've been speaking out of our election platform since January 21, they've been attacking my company, MyPillow, with cancel culture, the box stores, the shopping channels, and now Fox News. | |
| Fox News has canceled MyPillow, and I don't have the reasons why yet. | ||
| You know, say, well, but the caucuses are coming on Monday. | ||
| Um, uh, they know my brand is branded right with our great president, real president Donald Trump. | ||
| Um, you know, maybe it's because I brought Lou Dobbs over to my Lindale TV network this week and, but there, everything is just, uh, very, uh, alarming and suspicious. | ||
| Why, why now? | ||
| Just out of the blue, you're canceled. | ||
| And, uh, Steve, it's, uh, I'm beside myself. | ||
| I don't even know what to say. | ||
| You go after a company because your CEO is concerned about helping save our country and secure our election platforms. | ||
| It's just disturbing. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| Explain to the audience, what do you mean you've been cancelled by Fox? | ||
| You give them $100 million a year, at least in the filings, to buy advertising. | ||
| They're not taking your money? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hundreds of millions of dollars. | |
| Hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| Hundreds of millions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our new commercial, we're launching, you guys might have seen them over on Newsmax and stuff this last week, and my media buyers, they gave me, they actually told me Wednesday night, and I've been sitting there, we've been trying to get to the bottom, why would you do this to us, and it's full cancellation. | |
| I mean, you're off. | ||
| They're wanting to accept. | ||
| Hold on, stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hang on, hang on. | |
| You give them hundreds of millions of dollars for those commercials I love. | ||
| You give them hundreds of millions of dollars, and they're telling you now that, Mike, even though the commercials are entertaining, you can give us hundreds of millions of dollars, but the answer is no. | ||
| You can't buy time. | ||
| I didn't think you could do that in America. | ||
| Can you even do that? | ||
| I know the Murdochs are foreigners, but can you not accept people's commercials? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't know. | |
| I mean, they look at what the box stores did to MyPillow and the shopping networks, and now one of our biggest platforms for them to do that. | ||
| Here's cash. | ||
| Can I buy the commercial? | ||
| Steve, it's not like it's not their number one product in history or their number one commercial in history. | ||
| And like I say, I can only say, is it because we added Lou Dobbs this week? | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's because- Have you given them over the- Or because he gets better specials. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| No, it is what it is. | ||
| They don't want to platform you in the run-up to, because they're all in for Nikki Haley. | ||
| They don't want to run Iowa, New Hampshire particularly. | ||
| They can't have Mike Lindell on there. | ||
| Mike, have you given over the course of the history of MyPillow, the ten years, have you given Fox basically a billion dollars, you think, in aggregate of advertising sales? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't know the number, but I know it's in the hundreds and hundreds of millions. | |
| I would say it's somewhere maybe between a half a billion and a billion dollars. | ||
| Yeah, I think we're the number one direct sale advertiser of all time. | ||
| We've been with them since Since November of 2014, I partnered with them and realized, you know, people that I've advertised with, we advertised everywhere, you know, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, you know, we've been doing that every platform, ABC, NBC, CBS, everywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And if you remember, after the cyber symposium, Fox is the only one that wouldn't let me advertise that. | |
| So, you know, I don't know if it, you know, I can only say it's political. | ||
| I don't know for sure, but it's, uh, I know one thing it's, uh, for not to accept money to advertise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um, I don't know if that's even legal. | |
| That's what we're looking into. | ||
| I mean, this is, it's a, let's just go destroy my pillow. | ||
| And, uh, it's, I'm very disturbed about this. | ||
| Yeah, it's bad enough the left does it. | ||
| But tell us, I'll tell you, I'm gonna hold you through the break. | ||

| I got Captain Fennell from Switzerland. | ||
| The Navy Intelligence Office is going to be with us. | ||
| But Mike, I gotta start with you. | ||
| Real quickly, I got about a minute here. | ||
| Talk to me about, since FONSO won't take the ads, what are you going to do for the war on Posse to have your back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we're going to give the War Room Posse all the specials that the new commercials had there, and it's exclusive to the War Room Posse. | |
