Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on 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. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 20 February, Year of the Lord 2024. | ||
| We're going to finish up with Mike Davis. | ||
| So Mike, your point is that on this, the immunity, all of this, it's so obvious that they're trying to drive, they have to have a trial before November because there's no other way to beat Trump. | ||
| And now they're obsessed by it and they're blatant about it. | ||
| Correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, my point is this. | |
| The Supreme Court is going to erase half of Jack Smith's criminal charges against President Trump when the Supreme Court decides for separate January 6th defendants this issue whether the Biden Justice Department has misused a new federal obstruction statute to go past after, you know, past to go after Wall Street crooks to go after political opponents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so why would you move forward with this case against President Trump before the Supreme Court decides this case in June that's going to take out half of Jack Smith's case against President Trump? | |
| This federal judge should— This is the one that's the bizarre one about delaying an official function, that one. | ||
| Is that what you're talking about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's obstructing an official proceeding. | |
| That statute is about destroying evidence, not about protesting at the Capitol. | ||
| So the Supreme Court is Yes. | ||
| which will reverse a bunch of these criminal convictions for these January 6th defendants. | ||
| It's going to wipe out half of Jack Smith's case against President Trump. | ||
| So why the hell would you go forward with this criminal trial before the Supreme Court gets rid of half of the case? | ||
| before July. And so this federal judge in Chicago did the same thing with this Democrat, former Speaker of the House in Illinois. He paused the criminal case for six months because the Supreme Court is going to eliminate a lot of that criminal case against Madigan. So why isn't Tanya Shuckin this D.C. Obama? | ||
| Mike, you're going to join us at CPAC, am I correct? | ||
| You're coming back from your extended ski holiday, your ski vacation to join us. | ||
| You're coming off the slopes to actually come back and join working men and women here in the Imperial Capitol? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I will go back to those real Americans in real America in Washington, D.C., and I'll see you at CPAC in Washington, D.C. | |
| Mike, we're going to get to Article 3, particularly one of the things we're talking about, and we're going to talk about tomorrow. | ||
| You can't join us. | ||
| You're coming in on Thursday. | ||
| But your new Action Center, Article 3, can you tell people where to go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, a3paction.com, a3paction.com. | |
| Or you can go to article3project.org and click on the action link in the middle, the red button in the middle, article3project.org. | ||
| You can donate there. | ||
| You can also find us on Getter, Twitter, Truth, at article3project, at article number 3project. | ||
| And my personal is mrddmia, mrddmia. | ||
| And see you on Thursday, Steve. | ||
| We'll see you on Thursday, Mike. | ||
| You'll give us a complete assessment of your thoughts on the Fannie Willis situation down in Georgia. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Mike Davis. | ||
| I've got a cold open for our next guest. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Christian nationalism uses Christianity as a means to an end. | |
| That end being some form of authoritarianism. | ||
| Being a Christian is about the values of inclusion. | ||
| Christian nationalism is certainly not based on the values of the gospel. | ||
| God wants America to be saved. | ||
| They're told over and over and over again that you're in danger. | ||
| You need to fight if you don't want to lose your country. | ||
| We are in a civil war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you documenting here and how does it relate to the extremism and the real risks that we face as a republic? | |
| It's a direct connection. | ||
| I mean, we'll show you in the documentary. | ||
| And by the way, there are very conservative Christian evangelicals, pastors, very respected people in the Christian community that are frightened of this Christian nationalist movement. | ||
| Because it's not, they're not only frightened about it hurting democracy, but Christianity itself. | ||
| And we show in the film that this movement was the foundation for January 6th. | ||
| They were the moving elements that made January 6th and the insurrection happen. | ||
| And now we have a Speaker of the House who is an avowed Christian nationalist. | ||
| He even says that the teachings of the Bible and what he believes, whatever he believes God's will is, overtakes the Constitution and that all decisions have to be made based on his thinking. So we have this now inculcated in our government and Donald Trump is more than happy to be their mouthpiece and we see this this connection and it's | ||
| brought out in the film and it's very scary because there's a possibility and we talked about it in the film that we could slip into an autocracy very easily. | ||
| You hear this all the time on your show and many other shows, that the fight right now is between whether or not we preserve our democracy or we slip into a theocratic autocracy. | ||
| That's what this movement wants. | ||
| There's a new poll out, and I'll find out the source, I'll get it up for this afternoon, that shows people under 34 what their priorities are. | ||
| When it comes to politics right now and the economy, they can't buy a house, inflation, jobs. | ||
| Saving Democracy, I think, is number 10 or 11, at like 5%. | ||
| Rob Reiner, the filmmaker, he based this upon the book, The Power Worshippers, by Catherine Stewart. | ||
| It came out in 2019. | ||
| It's actually a fascinating book. | ||
| I loved it when it first came out, and then have bought a bunch of paperback copies and given to people. | ||
| Because you gotta remember, One of the issues in information warfare is you have to see, there's a reason we play so many morning joke clips or MSNBC clips non-stop, is you have to see the world through the eyes of your enemies. | ||
| If you can't do that, you really can't form a strategy and you can certainly not win. | ||
| Joining us now, Kurt Cameron. | ||
| Thank you so much, brother, for coming by. | ||
| There are no coincidences in this town. | ||
| So this morning, the lead story in Politico is Russ Vought over at CRA. | ||
| Christian nationalism takes over the Trump movement, or the Christian nationalism is the intellectual driving force and back of the Trump movement, which is not true, but Russ Vought's a great guy. | ||
| And of course, Rob Reiner. | ||
| comes out with a movie, God and Country. I think it premiered on Friday and he was on Ari Melber and just all week on MSNBC, it's Christian nationalism. | ||
| What are folks in the imperial capital here, why are they so petrified of Christians? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that there is very few people really understand what a Christian actually is. | |
| And when I say a Christian, you can go get some water put on your head and you can get baptized as a baby or as an adult. | ||
| That doesn't make you a follower of Christ and someone who really understands the tenets of the Bible, of the Holy Scriptures. | ||
| So, as I'm listening to Reiner say that, and this isn't my field of expertise, but since you're asking, an acronym comes to my mind, B.S. | ||
| What I understand about Mike Johnson, having known him for ten years, is not at all what he's saying right there. | ||
| Look, it's Mike and the Johns, they demonize him as a Christian nationalist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, we've got to start that whole conversation with a definition of terms. | ||
| I mean, do we just come out and call them Marxist nationalists? | ||
| Do we call them socialist nationalists? | ||
| I mean, there's some... Marxist globalists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, look... Neo-Marxist globalists, let's be fair. | ||
| I'm thoroughly convinced that all this is is a red herring. | ||
| It's a distraction to say the real enemy is these Christian nationalists. | ||
| And I'm not even really sure what you mean by that. | ||
| But the clear and present danger to the United States right now is the infiltration. | ||
| It is the hijacking of our Constitution and of our values that our founders told us would lead to our blessing and our security, those are all being eaten away by the termites of the Marxists and the globalists and the totalitarians. | ||
| This has been happening for a long time. | ||
| This is why you're here. | ||
| This is why you talk about what you talk about. | ||
| And they're trying to get you to go, oh, the bad guys are guys like Mike Johnson. | ||
| No, Mike Johnson is a good guy. | ||
| The point of attack, and from the French Revolution all the way through the Bolsheviks, the Mao Zedong, the Red Guard, the point of attack, and you see it now, is the family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Why is that? | ||
| Why did they choose the family unit as always their point of attack? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I see that the family is the fundamental building block of a stable society. | |
| You've got marriage, you've got children growing up in a home with people who are devoted to the care of these little kids. | ||
| If you can break up Marriage and family. | ||
| And you can get to the children. | ||
| You then control the future. | ||
| That seems pretty clear to me. | ||
| I'm not a political scientist, but I'm a dad of six kids. | ||
| I love education. | ||
| I love this country. | ||
| I love the biblical values that it's been based on. | ||
| And Hitler used to say things like, yeah, I go after the kids. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, he says, I don't care about those who disagree with my ideas. | ||
| I have your children in my schools. | ||
| And in just a generation, you will be gone. | ||
| And this will be the only community they've ever known. | ||
| Noah Webster told us that every government is built on some religion or political philosophy and the education of that nation, that is the teaching of children, will propagate the religion of that nation. | ||
| And the United States of America has that as their foundational philosophy, Christianity, and it's been sown into the hearts of children for centuries through the home and the schools, public and private. | ||
| And that is is where we get our prosperity and our freedom and our future liberty and success depends on teaching our children these right principles. | ||
| So how do you undermine that? | ||
| How do you have a great reset? | ||
| You supplant the values of children and you usurp the authority of parents and you control the future by getting them in your schools. | ||
| Tell us, audience, you've dedicated your life to really this kind of movement or to make sure that these values are put out in whatever media, in television and film, but also in libraries and books, etc. | ||
| But why have you, you could have been enormously successful just going down the path of Hollywood. | ||
| Why did you, what was the cathartic moment that revealed itself that you changed and did something else? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they're incredibly personal for me. | |
| I have six kids. | ||
| I love them with all of my heart, and I want a great future for them. | ||
| And that's something I think everybody can relate to. | ||
| It's personal for everyone. | ||
| And that I'm just incredibly grateful for living in this country. | ||
| I think that the United States is a miracle that has happened. | ||
| There's been nothing like it in thousands of years, and those who have experienced freedom around the world, to a large degree, have copied what happened over here. | ||
| And when our forefathers and foremothers, before the founders, got a hold of principles that they saw in the ancient state of Israel, and they pulled those out of the scriptures, the division of powers, Representative government, everyone equal under the law, the ability to choose your own leaders and to limit powers of the government. | ||
| All of this has led to the freest, most prosperous nation and generous nation in the whole world. | ||
| I'm grateful for that and I understand that if we don't pass this stuff on to our children, we lose it. | ||
| Liberty is one generation away from extinction. | ||
| I think that's true and I want to do my part because Many people are just thinking that the sky is falling, and we've had world wars, and we've also had great awakenings. | ||
| And the revivals of first principles often happen when things are the worst. | ||
| During times of political corruption, moral decline, spiritual apathy, great awakenings take place. | ||
| And I think we're due for another one of those right about now. | ||
| You think we're going through that? | ||
| You think this is a great awakening now that will lead on to bigger victories in the future? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, I do. | |
| Yes, I do. | ||
| What if, Steve, this isn't the end of the United States? | ||
| What if this isn't the last days of planet Earth, even as some of my Christian brothers and sisters would like to think? | ||
| What if we are in the early days of a golden era of liberty and blessing and prosperity, and now Events are happening to wake us up, to give us a reality check, to remind us of what's important. | ||
| What if this national setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith? | ||
| I believe that it is, and I want to be there at the center of it. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Kirk Cameron is in the War Room. | ||
| We're going to return and drill down on the Great Awakening next. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's something it teaches kids outright that only they know their true gender. | |
| And there's a whole system in the school ready and waiting for them to declare one of their exotic gender identities. | ||
| The LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation. | ||
| Gender dysphoria used to afflict 0.01% of the population. | ||
| Now they're getting prescriptions. | ||
| They're changing the whole course of their lives so easily with no medical oversight. | ||
| Children are coming out as transgender at an average age of 8.5 years old. | ||
| We have to ask ourselves, what are we doing to our children? | ||
| One thing I've learned is that the power of stories to change us is unmatched. | ||
| It tells us that when you read a story, you're transported into another world. | ||
| You identify with the character, you take on their reality, you take on their identity. | ||
| And the new Coco Mellon Lane has a boy in a dress dancing for his two gay dads. | ||
| Just be you! | ||
| Just be me? | ||
| Yep! | ||
| Doesn't it just fill you with pride? | ||
| Nightshade's pronouns are they-them. | ||
| They use they-them pronouns? | ||
| The princess who came to your ball tonight was me. | ||
| I'm Gonzarella. | ||
| Michael, you look good! | ||
| You've got more style than all of you. | ||
| I know. | ||
| My, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness. | ||
| I was like, no one would stop me. | ||
| Not so much busting down these walls, but just very slowly chipping away at them. | ||
| I know the Brave Books, and you partner with the Brave Books to go around to libraries and to make them open to people, and maybe why we don't have enough Christian books in here, we've got these other books in here. | ||
| Are you just another, are you a fascist? | ||
| You're a Nazi? | ||
| All you want to do is burn books, right? | ||
| You're a book burner. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You want to restrict people to get a full enlightenment on what's going on, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| You're just a book burner. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, actually, the American Library Association was giving instructions to librarians on how to bar the doors to their own community members who wanted to come in and sing and pray and read good books to their kids of virtue and value. | |
| So, no, the book burners, I think, are on the other side. | ||
| But to be fair, all of us think that there are harmful materials out there. | ||
| But isn't the Library Association, isn't that run by an avowed Marxist? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| She's an avowed Marxist, right? | ||
| A neo-Marxist. | ||
| And she's proud of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| And I always remember that somebody's values are going to reign supreme in the White House, in the American Library Association, in the schools. | ||
| And so we just have to decide what are the values that are going to lead to blessing and liberty and protection. | ||
| And going after the children really is the key. | ||
| You've got to play the long game. | ||
| And the progressives have done such a great job of that. | ||
| And you look at the clip that we just saw, New Jersey has had a 4,000% increase in non-binary children. | ||
| In Gen Z. Gen Z now has 30% of its children identifying as lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, queer. | ||
| And the powers of stories, either through the written word or through screen stories, like all those cartoons we just saw, you have Sesame Street characters saying that they're non-binary. | ||
| You have all of this stuff going on because that is how you Infiltrate the mind of children is you transport them to another realm of reality and then you create characters that the children want to identify with and as we're undermining the family, as marriage is falling apart, as everything is uncertain in their life, they then take on these identities and feel there's some security and community and all of that. | ||
| And this is where we've got so much work to do. | ||
| So I'm leaning deeply into telling the right kinds of stories with the right kind of values. | ||
| Brave Books and I have been working on not just children's books, but now a new television show for kids. | ||
| It's a modern-day Mr. Rogers. | ||
| Imagine a show that has the kind of timeless, biblically-based moral values of a Mr. Rogers neighborhood, only greatly modernized with beautiful animation. | ||
| Guest stars at every turn. | ||
| Hilarious dialogue. | ||
| This is the kind of show that's going to combine both live action with me and other stars from former Disney shows, like Lee Allen Baker from Good Luck Charlie and others with beautiful animation and Jim Henson Muppet puppeteers who are making these incredible animals That fit into Freedom Island and the stories that Brave Books has been telling about the sanctity of life, warning against socialism and CRT, celebrating the fruit of the spirit. | ||
| The show is called Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk. | ||
| Iggy's the iguana who lives in Mr. Kirk's treehouse in his backyard and this show is coming out this summer. | ||
| We're hoping to have the audience themselves create the show with us much like The Chosen did with Angel Studios. | ||
| Are you doing this in conjunction with Angel Studios? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're not doing this in conjunction with Angel Studios. | |
| You're going to do it yourself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to do it ourselves. | |
| Brave Books... I take it you're Mr. Kirk? | ||
| I'm Mr. Kirk. | ||
| I'm reaching here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Iggy's bringing the good looks, the iguana. | |
| I'm Mr. Kirk. | ||
| Iggy's the brains and the looks. | ||
| You're the straight man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| And Brave Books is really taking this by the horns. | ||
| They're not funded by Hollywood. | ||
| They're not funded by a big streaming platform because there's always strings attached to that money. | ||
| That's why things always go bad. | ||
| So we want to do it ourselves. | ||
| And we're giving people an opportunity to help us make this show and all kinds of great prizes and rewards and things for people to come in and support this fundraiser that Brave Books has put on. | ||
| And they can find out more about that if they go to watchbrave.com. | ||
| Watchbrave.com. | ||
| You can find out about the series, what you guys intend to do. | ||
| You want to start releasing it. | ||
| You're going to make it, I take it, between now and in the summer. | ||
| You want to release it next summer. | ||
| You want to start going into production as soon as possible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| We're going into production right away. | ||
| We've got the sets being built. | ||
| The scripts are written. | ||
| The animation is underway. | ||
| We are raising the funds for this show as we go, and the series is going to come out this summer. | ||
| It's coming out this summer. | ||
| People will be able to watch the first five episodes for free on YouTube and Rumble and other places like that. | ||
| And Steve, I'm so excited about this. | ||
| If not now, when? | ||
| I think that we need a resurgence of first principles and values or bust. | ||
| And nobody is going to do this but us, the audience, the people. | ||
| The people who love this country, love our families, and love God. | ||
| Why are you, so when you do a Mr. Rogers, you're clearly going for a certain age and demographic, what is the age that you're going for? | ||
| And why did you select that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I would say this show is going to appeal to kids who are like 4 to 5, on up to like 8 and 9. | |
| It's the same reason that Sesame Street and Blue's Clues and Cocomelon are going after those kids. | ||
| Because that's when their values are shaped. | ||
| That's when their morals are formed at these very, very young ages. | ||
| That's... | ||
| Where they understand that if they can insert themselves between the parents and the children with shows that babysit these kids, they can upend their values and they can turn them into little Marxist lemmings very early. | ||
| They can get them so confused, they can destabilize them to the point where they're looking for communities and the parents end up getting replaced. | ||
| The church gets up Being replaced by storytellers. | ||
| And so we want to support parents. | ||
| We want to support good values and give kids something that they love to watch and parents something that they can trust. | ||
| I just want to throw this out to make sure that at least I've thought it through. | ||
| You have Jim Henson and you have Mr. Raj of this that were I guess PBS and funded by the public. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you have these others that were done by Disney or whatever. | ||
| Have you... Why is it an absurd proposition that you would first take this to PBS and say, hey, I want to do this series and or go to Disney? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why wouldn't we go there first? | |
| Yeah, why wouldn't you? | ||
| Is it even in the realm of possibility that a PBS, seeing that you're making a wholesome 21st century Mr. Rogers with you as Mr. Rogers, who's a pretty known entity, or Disney, you understand the commercial aspects of this business, why would those two groups not embrace this project? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because it's diametrically opposed to the apparent agenda of those types of places. | |
| So, perhaps they would like to, and I would like to politely decline, because I don't want to be bought. | ||
| I don't want to be beholden to people who are the gatekeepers. | ||
| Henson and these guys, didn't they have full reign creatively and they just delivered the episodes to PBS? | ||
| Or does PBS actually have a role in creating? | ||
| Let me say it a different way. | ||
| If you went and pitched this to PBS, do you think you would be laughed out of the room? | ||
| And if you were, doesn't that get to the heart of why are we funding this? | ||
| Why is this audience writing checks and part of their taxes to fund that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I wouldn't think that they'd be interested in this unless they could just buy it to shut it down. | |
| Unless they could have it so that they could just stuff it in a box somewhere and then I can't do anything with it. | ||
| So I want to keep it free and open. | ||
| And that's why I think, you know, we... Give me your commercial understanding of the business. | ||
| Disney would be the same. | ||
| They would laugh you out of the room. | ||
| That would be a short pitch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so we'd prefer to be agile, to be free, to not be beholden to other people. | |
| Let's do what the Chosen did. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| That has become the juggernaut that it is and significantly altered the landscape. | ||
| because the audience made the show themselves. | ||
| And if we could do the same thing, which I know that we can, Brave Books wants to raise two and a half million dollars in order to produce 20 episodes of this show. | ||
| And we have so many professionals, world-class puppeteers and songwriters and authors and actors from the mainstream that are dying to get out of those prisons, those ideological prisons, and come to some place where there is fresh air and hope and the cool breeze of liberty and biblical values that can... | ||
| Give them a way to utilize their gifts and talents in a way that's gonna make a positive difference for the kids one of the hits when one of the the Assaults when people on the right do things is that they're not at the artistic level Yeah of Hollywood or the television industry because the great talent that feels there'll be either one doesn't agree with it Or if they do they're afraid they'll be ostracized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not the case here No, there's people that are in We have good people who love God, love this country, and love these values who are in all of these industries, right? | |
| God gives us our gifts and talents. | ||
| George Soros doesn't. | ||
| Karl Marx doesn't. | ||
| It's not limited to that. | ||
| But they don't have the opportunity because there's often only one game in town. | ||
| Now there are alternatives, and Brave Books is providing more and more. | ||
| That's why I'm excited to be working with them. | ||
| Okay, can we hold you a few minutes on the other side? | ||
| I want one more time to pass through and tell people where to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kirk Cameron on the other side. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| So I guess the theory of the case is you're saying that Mao Zedong, from the French Revolution to the Bolsheviks to Mao Zedong to the modern Neo-Marxists, they've always focused on the family and on getting to the children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you've got to take out the family and the church. | |
| And what we see in our day is we talk about pluralism and we talk about democracy. | ||
| Our founders were not about democracy. | ||
| Pure democracy is mob rule. | ||
| They were about a constitutional republic. | ||
| And there was a set of values that they understood would undermine people's ability for self-government. | ||
| We've got to be able to get back to this and understand what our country is really all about. | ||
| And if you can take out the family, then you've got access to the kids. | ||
| So take out God. | ||
| Take out the family, and what they really want to do is not just eliminate them, and have a purely secular society, they want to replace them. | ||
| So you usurp the power of parents, and that's what we're seeing with the government now, and in schools, and gender transformations and all this stuff without parental consent, and then you replace the ultimate authority in their life, which is no longer God, but civil government. | ||
| Government is a tool that should be a servant to bring about good blessings for people, not the tyrant God that enslaves people. | ||
| How long did you work in the television industry in Hollywood until it dawned on you one day that, hey, maybe this is not my home? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well... Because that kind of talk right there... Look, Rob Reiner, and people say he's a... Look, and I realize the audience is going to melt down, but people that know him say he's a decent guy, and clearly... He very well may be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've never met him, and... But he has worked up. | |
| I mean, he's triggered by this whole Christian nationalism thing. | ||
| He's dedicated his life. | ||
| He's doing a great podcast on the Kennedy assassination, but he's dedicated his life, this film, to coming after Christian nationalism. | ||
| And what you're saying is the kind of thing to trigger him. | ||
| So how long did you work in Actually in the system in Hollywood and TV before it dawned upon you your great your great awakening that hey Maybe this is not my path. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, I never wanted to be an actor. | ||
| I wanted to be a doctor I wanted to be like Ben Carson and this thing so I've slipped into it got on growing pains and by the time I was 20 I had this great big career and I got married after that I wanted to just be about right things and good things. | ||
| Whether it was in acting or not, it didn't really matter to me. | ||
| So I started becoming a student of history and understanding how principles work out in real life through education and family and civil government and things like that. | ||
| And let me just say, with regard to Rob Reiner and anybody else who's really triggered over some of these labels that people are putting on others, Many people have just been duped by other people's description of their own opponents, and they make them look like they're these freaky, weird... I mean, this is the news all the time, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You make your opponents look like complete crazy people who don't know what they're talking about, and you get everybody to worry about them. | |
| and so he may be legitimately concerned. | ||
| Like Joe Scarborough this morning referred to MAGA as freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, and a death cult. | ||
| You mean something like that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean something like that. | |
| And so, there may be people who are legitimately afraid of that which they don't understand. | ||
| And it's so hard to have respectful discourse with people today because everybody's looking for a sideline. | ||
| You think Rob Reiner and the guys in Hollywood don't understand it? | ||
| Or they think they understand it thoroughly and they fear it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think they, well... I don't think they, they're smart folks. | |
| I don't think they lacked understanding of what this movement is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but what I'm saying is that there are moles planted within the good groups that are then used to distract everybody and represent the good group. | |
| And it's a bogus group. | ||
| There may be freaks and psychos out there for sure, but they don't represent me and my ilk. | ||
| I mean, I'm all about. | ||
| I'm hanging with Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and William Wilberforce, and William Bradford. | ||
| I mean, and I know millions of other people who are, too. | ||
| Pretty good company. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I want to be with them. | |
| I want to learn from them. | ||
| What would you say, if Rob Reiner was here right now, what would you say to him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, first of all, Thank you for his work, and then also just talk about maybe just on a personal, human level, like what's important to me? | |
| And I bet we'd have a lot in common in terms of what's important to us. | ||
| The question then becomes, how do we get there? | ||
| What are really the right strategies and values that will actually achieve those goals? | ||
| And then I think we can have a real conversation, and I bet we could hang out, have a beer and a steak together, and end up being friends. | ||
| Such a great way to segue. | ||
| I totally disagree. | ||
| I think that you don't have the same end goals, and he knows that, and we know that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You have inside intel that I know not of. | |
| No, not inside intel. | ||
| I'm just saying for what they do. | ||
| This is an unbridgeable gap. | ||
| One side is going to win here and one side is going to lose. | ||
| We can't talk this out. | ||
| This is not a conversation. | ||
| We're not going to have a group hug. | ||
| But hey, I say that from the warrior crazy wing of this movement. | ||
| That's what we do. | ||
| But I just think you're not going to talk this out. | ||
| The country's gone through these things before, three times previously, where there's just an unbridgeable gap in the way forward. | ||
| One side ultimately wins, and the country goes to the next level, and we move on. | ||
| I think right now, in an inflection point of the constitutional republic that was bequeathed to us, it's all out there right now. | ||
| One side's going to win this debate, or the politics of this, the movement of this, and one side's going to lose. | ||
| And the side that wins is going to take it to the next level, and the side that loses is going to go figure out what they do next. | ||
| And I don't think you can talk it out. | ||
| I think particularly Rob Reiner, he's a very smart guy. | ||
| The Kennedy, his Kennedy assassination podcast is quite brilliant. | ||
| And it's interesting, he's kind of a conspiracy theorist in that. | ||
| But he's a bright guy. | ||
| He knows what he's doing. | ||
| The timing of this, They have to have something that they can get the left to grip onto. | ||
| And Christian nationalism is going to be it. | ||
| Insurrectionists didn't work. | ||
| Domestic terrorism didn't work. | ||
| It didn't quite resonate. | ||
| It hasn't caught on. | ||
| This is their new thing. | ||
| And you're one of the poster children. | ||
| They're going to come out and say, look, he's going after the children, right? | ||
| He's going after this insidious, you know, the Mr. Rogers, the Christian right wing, Christian nationalist way to get to the kids and to infuse in their brain Christian nationalism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which is precisely what they've been doing now for a long time. | |
| We're just late to the fight. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Look, we love the project. | ||
| I want to make sure people go... And by the way, thank you so much for coming to the War Room. | ||
| We've wanted to do this for a long time. | ||
| We don't do enough culture. | ||
| As Andrew Bright, my former partner, said, culture is upriver from politics. | ||
| Politics is just the residue of that. | ||
| It's culture. | ||
| And these guys know this. | ||
| The French Revolution knew it. | ||
| The Bolsheviks knew it. | ||
| Mao Zedong definitely knew it. | ||
| You know, it's a great line. | ||
| When Nixon and Kissinger go to see Mao Zedong and Chou En-lai, and they're sitting there, and there's a pause in the conversation because of translation, kind of a nervous pause, and Kissinger wanted to keep things going. | ||
| They were talking about, you know, the Communist Revolution. | ||
| He goes, asked Chou En-lai, he said, tell me, what are your thoughts on the French Revolution? | ||
| You know how it was and what happened and he goes to and like pause for a second and looked at Kissinger said too early to tell so They play the long game. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| To find out more about the TV project and also more about brave books as you're still doing the you're still Brave books are still doing the library you guys going into the libraries to have to have days when families can actually go and Yeah, library story hours are still happening. | ||

| Kurt Cameron, honored to have you in here, brother. | ||
| You've got a tough fight ahead of you. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| No, you're tough. | ||
| You've got a tough fight. | ||
| Not just beginning in May, but when you get it distributed, they're going to come at you so hard, it's going to be unbelievable. | ||

unidentified
|
These are the tough times that produce strong men. | |
| Amen. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Thank you for doing this. | ||
| Thank the team of Brave Books to Dr. Trent and the team. | ||
| Do I have Mike Lindell? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Mike Lindell, how did your President's Day go for the real president? | ||
| Yeah, well, it went great. | ||
| We're going to carry it over for the whole week here for the War Room Posse, Steve. | ||
| We had the great sales we had. | ||
| Everybody has been responding for the War Room. | ||
| I got thousands of autographed books signed for everybody. | ||

| We're leaving that exclusive for the War Room Posse on sale. | ||
| All these different specials we have using that promo code WARROOM. | ||
| And Steve, it's just been amazing the response by everybody from the War Room Posse. | ||
| Mike, am I too absolutist in this? | ||
| Is this an unbridgeable gap between the forces of evil here and the forces of light? | ||
| I mean, can we talk this out? | ||
| Can we hug this out? | ||
| Is this something that we can compromise on and just, you know, just talk this through? | ||
| There's no compromise. | ||
| You agree with me, right? | ||
| There's no compromise. | ||
| I tell people that there are, um, we, we have big things going on. | ||
| Like I just, uh, in the state of South Dakota right now to get to pay for ballots and counting. | ||
| And I tell these blockers that are out there, they're, you're either a traitor or a hero. | ||
| There's no in between anymore. | ||
| It's everybody out there. | ||
| We have to have courage. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| We got 10 more, 10 months to save our country. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| Everybody, there is no, There is no, um, um, second chance here. | ||
| Let's just sit back and let everybody else do it. | ||
| It's all or nothing. | ||
| And there's no, there's no compromising. | ||
| And, uh, that's why these blockers better get out of the way. | ||
| Cause we're coming through. | ||
| I'm tired of these Uniparty blockers out there. | ||
| These Republicans that with the R in front of their name, and they sit there and think they can stop us at the grassroots level or stop us in courts and everything else. | ||
| Absolutely no compromising. | ||
| We're bored. | ||
| We're forging through. | ||
| In spite of all the attacks. | ||
| Well, you know, BuzzFeed, I know BuzzFeed is your favorite site. | ||
| They have so many positive, we've got to do a compilation of all the positive articles they have on Mike Lindell. | ||
| They're huge fans of yours over there, Mike, as they are of mine. | ||
| I mean, if you want to read all the trash on Mike Lindell, go to Daily Beast. | ||
| But today they've got a piece up about the RNC is going to get purged. | ||
| You're going to get rid of all the anti-Trump element. | ||
| MAGA is going to take over. | ||
| Do you think, Mike, and I want to hold you through the break, do you think that that will Yeah, we absolutely need the RNC to come on board with the resolution they passed in August. | ||
| clean house and get down to election integrity and election security, what we really need the RNC to do in the next eight or nine months? | ||
| Yeah, we absolutely need the RNC to come on board with the resolution they passed in August. | ||
| Don't just pass a resolution 168 to zero that you're going to secure our election platforms, go to paper ballots, hand counting, same day voting, voter ID at the precinct level. | ||
| You know, there's no compromise or change on that. | ||
| You don't say, hey, let's go out and vote early and change it. | ||
| I mean, these things have to be, here's what the best platforms are. | ||
| Here's what the best, the best we can be. | ||
| And you stick to that and you never back down. | ||
| And this has to be done now. | ||
| We get one shot at this. | ||
| The RNC, this is their last chance. | ||
| This is it for them. | ||
| If they don't, uh, they can put all this, um, phony baloney up there with all they want. | ||
| These just, uh, cosmetics and, but you better act and you better do what you're going to do or there'll be no RNC. | ||
| And these guys coming in, they're going to realize that too. | ||
| I don't care who the names are. | ||
| They're coming in to take over. | ||
| Election integrity is a weak word. | ||
| We need to, we, the election crime, we have to prevent election crime. | ||
| This is not just a weak integrity. | ||
| We need to fight. | ||
| We need to go in the past, fix the past, and be proactive going into the future. | ||
| But the future is now. | ||
| Mike, will you hang on for a minute? | ||
| Just hang on for a second. | ||
| We'll bring you back after the break. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Mike Lindell. | ||
| I don't think there's a compromise. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| One side wins, one side loses. | ||
| In the War Room. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Why would we compromise? | ||
| We know that the radical left is getting tired. | ||
| The polling shows this. | ||
| This morning on Morning Joe, Joe tried to inflect, well, the people I know that voted for Trump and, you know, they're all getting tired. | ||
| No, they're not getting tired. | ||
| We're ascended. | ||
| We're getting another energy burst. | ||
| This is the top of the first inning. | ||
| There's no compromise here. | ||
| Maybe at a CPAC I'll figure out how to do a poll of our audience. | ||
| But it's an unbridgeable gap. | ||
| It's unbridgeable. | ||
| And it's happened many times in America, not many, but it's happened several times in American history. | ||
| It gets to a point, they call these turnings. | ||
| We're in the fourth turning of American history, when the institutions all collapse and fail. | ||
| We didn't do that. | ||
| They say, oh, abandon these guys, they're arsonists. | ||
| No, we didn't do that. | ||
| These institutions had rotted from the inside, had decayed, had declined. | ||
| It's the managed decline, this is what 16 was about. | ||
| The managed decline of our country by what the Clintons represented and the Bushes. | ||
| It's not any one political party. | ||
| This is the establishment. | ||
| The Bushes are as guilty or maybe even more guilty than the Clintons, given the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the financial crisis of 2008 and 9-11. | ||
| All of it happened on his watch. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| I know people don't like to talk about that, but he is the worst president and Bush, and I include Buchanan in that. | ||
| Biden, I don't know, Biden, but Biden's not a president. | ||
| He's head of a regime. | ||
| He's not legitimate. | ||
| As I've said on the show from the evening of 3rd November, 3 November, and then when he stole it, Mark Eliasson's team stole it. | ||
| He's illegitimate. | ||
| He's been illegitimate. | ||
| His actions are illegitimate. | ||
| We've never had an invasion of this country. | ||
| We've never had the disaster we've got on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| We would never have this spending that's going to bury every future generation in front of it unless we get control of it now. | ||
| And if you're under 35 years old, you're a Russian serf. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| You don't own anything. | ||
| You're not going to own anything. | ||
| We didn't do that. | ||
| The elites in this country did that. | ||
| And if you like it, if you're under 30, if you like it, keep voting for it. | ||
| If you like being a Russian serf, keep voting for it. | ||
| I'm not here to spend my time and try to talk you out of it. | ||
| You're free men and you're free women. | ||
| Vote for it. | ||
| Continue to vote for it. | ||
| Mike Lindell, we gotta wrap up. | ||

| Okay, it's tax season. | ||
| Don't panic. | ||
| And don't panic because of these new IRS agents. | ||
| I thought there was 11,000. | ||
| They're saying maybe 8,000. | ||
| Josh Hanna from Tax Network USA. | ||
| Josh, explain this. | ||
| You're a one-stop shop for everything, correct? | ||
| Not just if you haven't filed your back taxes and you're afraid they're going to come and grab you and throw you in debtor's prison. | ||
| You're a one-stop shop for everything? | ||
|
unidentified
|

| We can help you with setting up payment plans with the IRS on your back taxes, getting your penalties and interest forgiven, and also settling your tax matter with a one-time payment. | ||
| We can look into that as well. | ||
| Okay, but here's what I want the audience to know. | ||
| When you get the letter, If you get a letter, and I realize a lot of people, this is just like credit cards, this is angst and anxiety. | ||
| Fear not. | ||
| That's what Tax Network's up for. | ||
| It's a process. | ||
| It's just a process. | ||
| So take a deep breath. | ||
| If you got the letter, what you don't do is don't call the number. | ||
| Once you call the number, you may be giving up your rights. | ||
| Call Tax Network USA or go see those guys. | ||
| Then you get representation. | ||
| It's not the end of the world, okay? | ||
| It's not the end of the world. | ||
| This can be worked through, but you've got to talk to a professional. | ||
| And remember, these IRS agents, they're not looking to take money from the billionaires or super billionaires. | ||
| They're coming after you. | ||
| They're coming after the working class in this country and the middle class in this country. | ||
| They're going to squeeze you to get all the blood out of you, like they're going to get the blood out of the stone here. | ||
| Every incremental penny, they're coming after you. | ||
| Remember that. | ||
