War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| I would say only in Joe Biden's America could Steve turn trans in the matter of just a commercial break. | ||
| Of course, I'm kidding. | ||
| It's Natalie G. Winters filling in for Stephen K. Bannon as he departs to CPAC. | ||
| You guys know our Force Multiplier Academy event, I think, has just commenced. | ||
| So I guess Steve will be a little fashionably late, but he's so good at doing that. | ||
| I guess I got to get my own my own bomber jacket, but don't go anywhere. | ||
| We have a packed show. | ||
| We got Ben Harnwell. | ||
| I believe we have Ken Paxton, Catherine O'Neill, so much more, of course, continuing the pregame for CPAC. | ||
| I, after this show, will be heading over there to speak about How to do investigative reporting that gets you not just sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party, but I would say on many global and probably domestic watch lists, too. | ||
| Well, Ben, joining us shortly, we're going to dive into Ukraine. | ||
| But I just wanted to kind of pregame a little bit on the Ukraine stuff, because I think sometimes we sort of lose track, we lose sight of the issue at hand. | ||
| And what I mean by that is that this is a scam, you guys all know that, but for so long the goalposts on American foreign policy have been set by the MSNBCs, by the experts, by the elites, by the ruling classes of the world, especially here in the United States. We saw how abysmally they failed when it came to COVID-19, but for so long we've only ever had controlled opposition media outlets like Fox News to set the goalposts when we push back. | ||
| That's why we're so accustomed to having congressional Republicans who don't fight for us, investigations and committees that wield nothing except talking points and mean tweets. | ||
| But thank God for the war room posse for this show, because we've been able to shift the goalposts and actually realize that American foreign policy has always been a scam to line the pockets of the military industrial complex. | ||
| But for the first time, we actually have the platform to push back and make no mistake. | ||
| That's why you're seeing all this Russia, bad Russia, Russia, Russia narrative sort of reemerge in the news cycle right now, because they want to make the moral argument that we must continue supporting Ukraine and someone who has been, I would say, at the forefront of really outlining the reality of this war. | ||
| This conflict has, of course, been Ben Harnwell, who joins joins us now. | ||
| And I know we're coming off the heels of the Munich Security Conference. | ||
| I guess Davos is the sort of globalist meeting of the minds or the lack of minds. | ||
| But I would say that that's up there. | ||
| And I'm just curious, coming off of that, where do we stand in terms of Europe paying their fair share? | ||
| I don't like that word. | ||
| But in this conflict, what is sort of the public sentiment there with what's going on in Ukraine? | ||
| Well, I'll go into that, Natalie. | ||
| Good morning to you. | ||
| I just wanted to firstly reference something that was that was carried by the Associated Press News Agency, one of the largest, one of the big three press agencies in the world. | ||
| I just picked this up now. | ||
| I haven't sent you through to Denver because I didn't know you were going to start with this in your introduction. | ||
| But there's an article here, I'll post it, you can get it from Getza or Lumber, I'll post it up there with the video link. | ||
| Biden wants people to know most of the money he's seeking for Ukraine would be spent in the US. | ||
| Natalie, that is basically the military-industrial complex up in your face. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is telling you exactly what they're doing. | ||
| Whilst, as we've been saying on the war for the last two years, America is quite happy to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian. | ||
| And whilst they're continuing to sort of funnel American taxpayers' dollars over to Ukraine. | ||
| The money is actually going to the industrial base, the military industrial base in the United States itself, which I think, Natalie, just to pick up on what you said in your introduction there, illustrates how cynical this whole operation is and has been, because the cost of this war | ||
| As we said repeatedly, it's being borne by the... First, obviously, we're all very much poorer for this war, but no one is sacrificing more than the mainly Ukrainian men who are being ground to a pulp. | ||
| On the Ukrainian front line. | ||
| So when you hear the Uniparty saying, oh, you know, this is outrageous what some Republicans are doing, holding this cash up their grandstanding and all the rest of it. | ||
| The point is, is that the money's not even going to Ukraine in the first place. | ||
| It's going into the coffers to make the military industrial complex even richer. | ||
| OK, so just to move on, I'll put the link if folks want to read that. | ||
| I read that this morning. | ||
| I will put that link up if people want to get that article. | ||
| So what's going on here in Europe? | ||
| Whilst this civil war is taking place within the GOP in the United States and the constant pushing, the urgent pushing for 60 billion dollars is continuing, what is the view here in occupied Europe with regards to this war? | ||
| Well, there was an article today In the Guardian, which says that barely 10% of Europeans believe Ukraine can still defeat Russia. | ||
| Now, this is as we're moving up to the second anniversary, Natalie, on the 24th of February, which is in three days time. | ||
| This is a symbolic point for us to be in over this anniversary. | ||
| There'll be a lot of taking stock going on. | ||
| In not only the European capitals, but all of the Western capitals who are constantly being asked to give more. | ||
| And here, I think, are the key takeaways from this poll that was conducted over 12 of the 27 European Union member states. | ||
| Barely 10 percent, that's not even 10 percent believe that Ukraine can still That is down, Natalie, from a year ago when the figure was over 50 percent. | ||
| So that proportion in just a space of 12 months has absolutely fallen through the floor. | ||
| Now, moving on, because here's the point I think that's going to directly concern American taxpayers the most, is this issue here that 41 percent of Europeans said that the EU should either increase its support or maintain at its current level if the U.S. were to halt its military aid to Ukraine under a Trump presidency. | ||
| So this debate, we've been having this here on the War Room I think now for around six months. | ||
| The point is, If, in the eventuality, Trump wins in November of this year, and then says, that's it, no more money to Ukraine, we need to have a negotiated peace, only 41% of Europeans, these are your great allies, Natalie, only 41% of the European continent wants to step up and fill the gap left by the United States. | ||
| That basically means that when we're talking about European capitals right across the They're very happy for Ukraine to win if American taxpayers are paying for it. | ||
| They're not so happy to step up and cough up the money should America not do that. | ||
| And I think that needs to be in the calculus of Americans at this moment as they're deciding just how much and when to give forward to Kyiv at this point. | ||
| Well, they know it's a scam and it's so interesting that you bring up the first part of your statement talking about this new narrative that, you know, foreign aid packages for Ukraine are actually great for the United States. | ||
| That was a talking point that was sort of war-gamed by the White House back Politico reported it in October of last year that they knew support was declining for Ukraine. | ||
| So they were like, how can we spin this? | ||
| How can we euphemistically couch this? | ||
| So the dumb American people, the Christian nationalists, the domestic terrorists, the same people that were throwing into jail for exercising their First Amendment rights, so they'll support this. | ||
| And they came up with the idea that Ukraine aid packages were great for America's industrial base and for our manufacturing jobs, and we tracked it. | ||
| I did a story for warroom.org where this narrative ended up all the way down into local papers. | ||
| Of course, the mainstream media ran with it. | ||
| But I really think that that story is so interesting because it gives you such good insight into how our ruling class views foreign policy. | ||
| In other words, instead of realizing that American people are not supporting this war because there's no demonstrable benefit for them in it, it's just bleeding, hemorrhaging money, they're like, how can we lie to them even more? | ||
| And then of course, they set up the Office of Influence Perception and Management, which historically had been used to influence international propaganda campaigns and misinformation. | ||
| But they turned it inward and within one week after Russia invaded Ukraine two years ago, which I know we're coming up on that second anniversary, they launched, they relaunched that office and they started it with a domestic program to basically wage, of course, Obama basically legalized propaganda, but to wage information warfare on American people. | ||
| So I'm just curious, your unfettered, I'm sure the deep state would say misinformation, riddled take on where we stand now. | ||
| I believe we're approaching two years, I think it's February 24th, that all of this chaos began. | ||
| What do you think is the honest adjudication of where it stands? | ||
| It's going pretty badly, Natalie. | ||
| I have to just tie up what you were just saying beforehand, before going into this. | ||
| About four or five months ago, if memory serves me correct, the person on the Republican side who was saying almost the very word what Biden was just saying, About the funds really, sort of the investment really taking place in the United States, not going to Ukraine, was our old friend Mitch McConnell. | ||
| There's no clearer evidence, I think, of the true brazen nature of the Uni Party than when you see these two people supposedly in different political parties. | ||
| Exactly the same policy position towards the same end, which is not to represent their various constituencies, it's to represent the U.S. | ||
| military industrial complex, which drove this, you know, as Professor Mearsheimer said, has been saying from at least 2014 onwards, they've been driving this all the way. | ||
| So what is the position here, Natalie, at this point as we head into? | ||
| Well, it's not going too well, but don't take my word for it. | ||
| I've got two articles here for you. | ||
| One in Bloomberg, which says that the war in Ukraine is turning in Putin's favor after months of stalemate. | ||
| And a second article, this was in the French Associated Press news agency, as I say, this is another one of the big three, with the headline, Russia versus the West. | ||
| Is Putin winning? | ||
| Now I took a screenshot this morning. | ||
| I wonder if Denver would be so kind. | ||
| This is the big lead article on Grudge this morning that just illustrates where we are as we move in. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Is Putin winning? | ||
| They've got the most evil photo that they could possibly find of him. | ||
| Just to sort of put this question across at this two year anniversary, the war, Natalie, is not going well. | ||
| And one of the reasons it's not going well, let's just look at the simple numbers. | ||
| It's the actual numbers that they still have. | ||
| Well, there's one of these articles that I just mentioned, which had an anecdotal report that said that compared to this point last year, the Ukrainian forces are reduced to about 60 percent of what they were two years ago, excuse me, one year ago, whereas the Russians in the past 12 months have increased their frontline forces by about 150,000, taking it over to, I think, About two times. | ||
| The ratio is about two to one now that the Russians have compared to the Ukrainians on the front line. | ||
| Now, this is a war of attrition. | ||
| It has been a war of attrition since the collapse and implosion of the counter offensive, the famous spring offensive, then summer offensive. | ||
| Since that collapse, it's basically been a war of attrition. | ||
| Well, who, Natalie, is going to win a war of attrition? | ||
| But it's those who have, it's the side that has the most resources. | ||
| And that is, and has always It always was the case, Russia, because this war for Russia is an existential war. | ||
| It's not for NATO. | ||
| It's not for the United States. | ||
| It's not for Europe. | ||
| It is an existential war for Russia. | ||
| So it was always going to throw in whatever resources it needed in order to win this. | ||
| So there we are. | ||
| We're coming up to the second year anniversary. | ||
| I don't know whether Denver had time to process them. | ||
| One of the reasons, because you mentioned the Munich Security Conference earlier. | ||
| Ben, I'm going to hold you there, because I want to hold you through the break, and we're coming up against the break, so we'll save the articles for after the break. | ||
| But I'd say the very lead of the lies that the Ukraine war is great. | ||
| For America, if they wanted to go the route of, oh, well, it's great for jobs, how about this? | ||
| Why don't you guys do a meaningful, comprehensive audit if you actually wanted to garner U.S. | ||
| support for what's going on in Ukraine and have us see that where our funds are going are actually supporting something worth supporting? | ||
| But I think you guys know if we did an audit, I think support would fall probably below 0% if that's even possible. | ||
| But War Room Posse, you can still go cpak.org slash warroom if you're in the DMV area or if you're a journalist on one of those outlets that's not invited. | ||
| Rumor has it Madeline Peltz is attending our Force Multiplier Academy, so I look forward to meeting her. | ||
| War Room Posse, it's Natalie Winters, and we'll be right back. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| I know we've got a very busy few days ahead. | ||
| I get about five minutes notice when I have to host the show, but that's how we roll in the War Room, so that's why Warpath Coffee is so important. | ||
| I feel like I'm a living, breathing example of caffeine. | ||
| Warpath.coffee. | ||
| How's that for a domain name? | ||
| I feel like I gotta up my She's So Right domain name to something more fitting, but All the guys over there, Steve always... Steve is very, I would say, elitist when it comes to coffee, something you may not know. | ||
| Elitist when it comes to some things, and coffee is one of those things. | ||
| So if he has a Steve seal of endorsement on Warpath Coffee, it's probably worth checking out, I would say. | ||
| But Ben Harnwell, I had to cut you off. | ||
| I don't have the authority to blow the break. | ||
| So if you want to pick up where you left off running us through those two articles, Yep, thanks, Natalie. | ||
| We're going to stay now, I think, for the rest of my hit with the Financial Times. | ||
| So we've got two articles. | ||
| The reason why the Munich Security Conference was such a damp squib is because at the end, economic reality always kicks in. | ||
| These two articles, if Denver would be very quick, they'd mind just pushing these headlines up whilst I talk. | ||
| First one, France tightens budget as economic growth slows, and the second one, German economy to keep shrinking, Bundesbank warns. | ||
| I'm going to post the links to those along with all the other links for my hit. | ||
| This is the reality, Natalie, the reason why The European Union is not able to pick up the funding of this war from the United States. | ||
| It's because the money doesn't exist. | ||
| Germany is the largest by a long way, the largest economy in the European. | ||
| And I think France, militarily speaking, will probably be the most independently minded. | ||
| So that's an interesting pairing here. | ||
| We're heading towards a recession in the European Union in these key economies. | ||
| So the money simply isn't there. | ||
| That's the reason why the pledges at the Munich Security Conference were basically non-existent. | ||
| It was just a fanfare for our sociopathic overlords to be photographed in front of the world's press. | ||
| There were no big promises. | ||
| And the big, I think, you know, you know what what what what a media event only was, because most of the coverage was based around the fact that Alexei Navalny's wife was there and she addressed the conference shortly after he'd been her husband had been announced that had died. | ||
| And that was the dominating headline. | ||
| So there's really nothing came out of this. | ||
| And everyone was expecting it to be sort of the big hurrah. | ||
| This was the moment when the Europeans were going to visibly take the baton from the United States and solidly promise to pick up the funding. | ||
| It simply didn't happen. | ||
| And that's the reason why economic reality, Natalie, will always kick in sooner or later. | ||
| And it's kicking in now. | ||
| And of course, the other consequence behind the economic reality is the political reality. | ||
| I'm not going to go into it now, but we have These big Europe-wide elections for the European Parliament in June, and that is concentrating minds now. | ||
| When those elections are two years away, when you're mid-mandate, well, you can, as they do if you're a sociopathic overlord, you can ignore your electorate and just show conversation towards them. | ||
| You can make them bankrupt. | ||
| You can lose them their jobs, lose them their bank. | ||
| their savings. | ||
| But when that election, and everyone is expecting this to be very, very bad for the mainstream centre parties, the centre-left and the centre-right parties, expecting huge support for what they call obviously the far right, when they are staring that reality in the face, then Ukraine is basically an expensive luxury. | ||
| As I say, the Europeans are very happy for America to pay for this. | ||
| But if America is not going to pay for it, then the Europeans aren't going to step in and cover that. | ||
| Now, if I can close with this point, Natalie, you're going to ask me what difference is MAGA making here outside of the United States, here in Europe? | ||
| And one of his illustrations, I think, to show you just what a great force you guys are, this America First movement is now. | ||
| And it is really starting to dictate the political agenda, not only in the United States, but also elsewhere, because America is the military and economically, culturally, the most important nation on the planet. | ||
| So if this political force is so important in the United States, then it is going to have knock on. | ||
| Consequences across the rest of the world. | ||
| One illustration of this is something I would have thought would have been unthinkable six months ago, certainly a year ago. | ||
| They had the Financial Times, probably the newspaper I would respect the most of all the European broadsheets. | ||
| And in this sphere of the Atlantic, London-based DFT, they handed over their op-ed page to Senator JD Vance. | ||
| Who wrote an article. | ||
| Now, if I had an hour, I would go through this and just pick out basically every other line. | ||
| It is nearly, well, it is word perfect. | ||
| I would pick up one simple excerpt and post the link, as I would with all the other of these articles I'm referring to. | ||
| And I strongly, strongly recommend the War and Posse should fish out this article and read it. | ||
| It's absolutely excellent. | ||
| Here's something that I think that Senator Vance said, and I just want to read this. | ||
| He said, as the American defense budget nears one trillion per year, we ought to view the money Europe hasn't spent on defense for what it really is, an implied tax on the American people to allow for the security of Europe. | ||
| Natalie, that is just word perfect. | ||
| And of course, Senator Vance is not as he's not part of the military. | ||
| Industrial Complex, the Uni Party. | ||
| He's not, I don't think, first on the top of the list of Mitch McConnell's Christmas card list. | ||
| This is a guy who said on this show, on this show to Steve, he said, you know, honestly, I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another. | ||
| And now here he is expanding his arguments. | ||
| And it's a brilliantly, cogently written op ed piece in the Financial Times, the most sedate broadsheet, as I say. | ||
| On this side of the Atlantic. | ||
| And that would have been unthinkable a year ago. | ||
| It just goes to illustrate that those who now want to know what the thinking is inside this America First movement are getting to see this within the pages of the mainstream media. | ||
| So something is certainly changing as we view the situation actually. | ||
| Got a few minutes before we let you go. | ||
| I feel like we unfairly pigeonhole you as the Ukraine guy, but I know you have so much more political experience and you can talk on so many more things. | ||
| I'm just curious from your perspective, when Trump wins, should be the third time, but technically the second term of the Trump administration. | ||
| What do you think the pivot is going to be for this sort of globalist European ruling class, the military-industrial complex, the people who basically profit off of crisis, right? | ||
| Do you think they're going to double down and really try to revamp this Ukraine stuff? | ||
| Do you think they're going to pivot to another global conflict in the Middle East? | ||
| What do you think, I'm just curious, your thoughts, their kind of next steps looking downrange are going to be here? | ||
| Honestly, I can't see this war still—I could be wrong, right? | ||
| But I can't see this war still being really a kinetic war by the time November rolls around. | ||
| It's going very, very badly for Ukraine. | ||
| Dnipro, the principal town in the Donbas, they lost that last week, and now basically General Gerasimov, the chief, the commander of the Russian forces, is presently in Ukraine now to discuss with his key leaders on the ground what the next steps are going to be. | ||
| So I'd be very, very surprised. | ||
| You know, and the writing is on the wall. | ||
| So that being the case, I think that the pressure will be on Ukraine too. | ||
| The moment has passed. | ||
| The window has closed. | ||
| What it should have done was, before the counter-offensive, was sat down with Putin and negotiate terms that would have met when Ukraine was still in a position of maximal positioning to be able to negotiate for its own interests. | ||
| Really now, it's in a very strongly weakened There are soundings coming out from Russia that Putin is ready to draw this thing to a close. | ||
| I'd be surprised if this kinetic war is still in place in November. | ||
| If it's not, excuse me, if the war is still going on, if there hasn't been some kind of ceasefire negotiation by November, well, our sociopathic overlords will be looking, I think they'll be, I don't think they're going to throw straight in. | ||
| to the next war, to the next phase of the forever war. | ||
| For appearances sake, they might leave a gap, I don't know, like a few weeks or something since the withdrawal from Afghanistan before the start of this, I don't know. | ||
| They will obviously be working on something I don't think they're going to go straight away with it, but the appetite now in the West, in the democracies, is really that I think we're all warred up for the time being. | ||
| But they will be plotting underhand, as they usually do, what the next incursion can be. | ||
| With regards to Israel, I think we just have to wait and see on that. | ||
| What is interesting to see, I would say, with regards to the West's approach to Israel and Gaza is just how large the, how this is unprecedented, I think, since the foundation of the modern state, the modern secular state of Israel, how large and uniform the opposition to Israel is right now. | ||
| And that's not really, I don't think, And Ben, we're coming up against a break, so I got to let you go. | ||
| But if the audience wants to follow you, get your analysis on all things, not just Ukraine, where can they go to do all that? | ||
| They can on Getter, which is my social media platform of choice at Harnwell. | ||
| My surname. | ||
| Ben, I look forward to being able to have you on and we don't have to talk about what's going on in Ukraine because no more of our taxpayer dollars are going over there to continue what's going on over there. | ||
| Ben, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| Thanks, Natalie. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Sometimes it's hard for me to interrupt the guests, but I'm learning how to advocate and speak up when we're coming up against a break. | ||
| And I would say maybe, hey, in this break, go check out birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| And if you're ultra-War Room posse, bring your copy of The End of the Dollar Empire and have Steve sign it. | ||
| That ultra-MAGA, Christian nationalism, domestic terrorism probably too. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| It's still Natalie Winters filling in, or at least trying to, for the one and only Stephen K. Bannon, who is probably getting to CPAC now, talking to, of course, the elite of the elite War Room posse. | ||
| We got Catherine O'Neill joining us. | ||
| There's an interesting story today in the Daily Caller. | ||
| sort of highlighting a group that I think I'd covered all the way back even when I was at the National Pulse two or three years ago called the U.S.-China Heartland Association, one of these sort of communist proxy groups funded by the Chinese Communist Party operating here in the United States, part of targeting that American Achilles heel to get access to our elites, our politicians, our ruling class to change policy so we can make it that the Chinese Communist Party can own farmland because that just seems like a logical thing to let your existential threat own farmland, especially | ||
| when the globalist elites are so intent on weaponizing the food supply against us. | ||
| But hey, I guess when you're Joe Biden and you're so compromised by the Chinese Communist Party and ideologically you hate the United States, that's probably a policy made in heaven or at least wherever that Chinese spy balloon is. | ||
| But we got Catherine O'Neill, of course, of Meriwether Farms joining us. | ||
| Catherine, you are, of course, a rancher farmer out in the wonderful state of Wyoming. | ||
| I'm just curious your thoughts on this whole Chinese Communist Party, you know, land ownership debacle. | ||
| Have you had any personal experience with it? | ||
| Is there some legislation that you think they should be pursuing to counter this? | ||
| Yes, thanks so much, Natalie, for having me on. | ||
| It's great to be back. | ||
| I think this is a huge issue that should be addressed in every state. | ||
| I know that a few days ago, there was a Senate panel there in the Wyoming State House and State Senator in session now. | ||
| I believe that they were considering a bill to ban some foreign ownership of land, which I think it should be all, period, end of story. | ||
| But I think it's good to know that there are people that are thinking about this in our legislature. | ||
| I know that there were a few attempts before to try to do something like this, but Cheyenne is very swampy, unfortunately. | ||
| People think that Wyoming is a super red state, which it is. | ||
| The great people of Wyoming are very conservative. | ||
| However, our representation in Cheyenne is not very conservative. | ||
| So I'm glad to see that there are some efforts being made to address this issue. | ||
| And Catherine, obviously, Meriwether Farms is killing it. | ||
| Shameless plug. | ||
| Doesn't Catherine's hair look really great? | ||
| It looks pretty good. | ||
| She's telling me she's no time because she's so busy dealing with all the orders that the War Room Posse's making. | ||
| That's right, Callie! | ||
| Take care of yourself! | ||
| But she looks beautiful. | ||
| So we're glad you did your hair for us today. | ||
| I'm honored. | ||

| Our next guest, Attorney General Ken Paxton, I don't think needs any introduction, especially to the globalist elites who certainly detest him, though he certainly is adding to that list with the lawsuit he just filed. | ||
| We got a short, cold open that I'd love to play. | ||
| Denver, if you want to roll it. | ||

Hi, I'm Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. | |
| Did you know that even though I'm the highest ranking law enforcement official in the state, I cannot go after those who commit voter fraud? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's because two years ago, in an 8-1 vote, judges on the Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that local county district attorneys will handle that. | |
| That's crazy, because in the blue counties of Texas, liberal district attorneys received massive amounts of cash donations from left-wing extremists like George Soros. | ||
| Prior to that ludicrous ruling, I had over 900 cases of voter fraud in Texas. | ||
| Join me in supporting these judges who will return election integrity to the Court of Criminal Appeals. | ||
| Say no to voter fraud. | ||
| Political ad paid for by Texas for responsible judges. | ||
| We'll get into the illegal immigration and their NGO Aiders and Abettors lawsuit after that. | ||
| But you saw in that video, of course, endorsing some judges down in Texas. | ||
| But A.G. | ||
| Paxton, I'd love to just get your thoughts. | ||
| The number one question that I hear from viewers of the War Room audience is what have we done since 2020 and 2022? | ||
| Well, first of all, I'm sad I don't have real red meat like your past guest. | ||
| I have metaphorical red meat. | ||
| but of course your hands are tied probably by George Soros-linked prosecutors. | ||
| I'm just curious your kind of answer to that question, your thoughts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, I'm sad I don't have real red meat like your past guest. | |
| I have metaphorical red meat. | ||
| Now, we actually have passed some good election reform bills in our House and Senate, finally after years of ignoring that in the Texas House. | ||
| The problem we have now is we have our Court of Criminal Appeals struck down a statute that was passed in 1951 that directed the Attorney General of Texas to prosecute voter fraud. | ||
| And that now leaves local district attorneys who are funded by George Soros and the big counties to prosecute voter fraud. | ||
| So we know that in like Austin, Houston, and Dallas, and San Antonio, that those cases are not going to be prosecuted. | ||
| So if the Attorney General of Texas can't step in, With concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute, Texas is on its way to becoming a democratic state. | ||
| So I'm hoping that we're going to elect these three new challengers and we can move our way back towards prosecuting voter fraud in the state of Texas. | ||
| Now, I think all of these issues that you're attacking are sort of intertwined. | ||
| I know it was, I think it was Milton Friedman who said, you know, an open border doesn't coexist quite nicely with a welfare state. | ||
| I would add an open border doesn't coexist quite nicely with elections that are conducted without IDs or verification. | ||
| And I think the Democrats probably know that pretty well. | ||
| But I know you just filed suit, I believe yesterday or pretty recently. | ||
| Against some of these NGO groups, one in particular, that you claim are basically helping to facilitate this mass migration invasion, however you want to couch it. | ||
| I think mass migration is maybe too euphemistic a term. | ||
| But if you could sort of walk the audience through that lawsuit, sort of the scope, the boots-on-the-ground perspective of how these NGOs are really intricately linked to what is going on at the southern border. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'd be happy to answer that. | |
| I wanted to say two more things about the Court of Criminal Appeals. | ||
| That really matters to the entire country, because if we can't protect our elections in Texas, Texas will become a democratic state, I believe, in the next four to six years. | ||
| And that affects the entire country, because without Texas, we don't have competitive elections, and it's going to be a one-party country. | ||
| So I wanted to encourage people. | ||
| We're in early voting right now that goes through March 1st. | ||
| Election Day is March 5th. | ||
| Vote for these people, Gina Parker, Lee Finley and David Shank. | ||
| And those are very important votes. | ||
| I think it's the most important election I've been involved in. | ||
| So again, Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Shank. | ||
| To answer your question, yes, we just filed a lawsuit because we've been doing an investigation on all of these non-governmental organizations, often called NGOs, who are aiding and abetting the Biden administration, or being funded by the Biden administration, to help basically illegals cross the border. | ||
| And then they hide them. | ||
| We think they've created stash houses. | ||
| They're participating in human trafficking. | ||
| And it's devastating to the people that are involved in that. | ||
| And it's also devastating to our state and the impact that it has on children is immense. | ||
| And so we are trying to stop these illegal activities and the criminal activities being funded by our taxpayer dollars in the Biden administration. | ||
| I'm just curious, speaking to the previous video, you know, where you obviously endorse that that slate of judges. | ||
| But do you feel like you have adequate backup, whether it's in the legislature, just even from just a personnel staffing perspective, Border Patrol, you know, the leaders there? | ||
| Of course, you're not getting that from the federal government with Joe Biden or the executive branch. | ||
| But, you know, do you do you need backup? | ||
| What is sort of the missing part here that's making it so difficult for the southern border to actually be secured? | ||
|
unidentified
|
One of the challenges we've had as a Texas House has been difficult to get anything good passed because our speaker, Dave Phelan, is largely, even though he's a Republican, and everybody in the media covers him as a Republican, the media knows he's actually elected by the Democrats. | |
| The Democrats block vote, but there's 65 votes. | ||
| He only needs 10 Republicans. | ||
| He typically gives those 10 Republicans the best committees, and shazam, he becomes the speaker and does what the Democrats want. | ||
| So we don't get good election bills. | ||
| We don't get good border security bills. | ||
| We get instead them Doing bad things like trying to impeach me. | ||
| That is a Democratic initiative that was pushed forward by our Republican speaker. | ||
| And people often think, well, Republicans are doing this. | ||
| But the reality is, no. | ||
| The Republicans are commiserating in the Texas House. | ||
| And we're in these elections now to try to defeat not only the Court of Criminal Appeals, but also some of these House members and the speaker who have gone off track and have been helping the Democrats. | ||
| Surely a lot of these, you know, corporate establishment Republican types, they're so weak on immigration because that's, of course, what their big backers, their donors want. | ||
| They love the, you know, cheap labor. | ||
| And frankly, I don't think they really believe in American sovereignty. | ||
| They, I would say, adhere to this global government, right? | ||
| The concept of a global citizen. | ||
| So, hey. | ||
| Why do we care if the southern border's not secure? | ||
| But on the NGO front, you know, do you think that it's something as simple as the reason why Republicans, you know, aren't really down to actually fight on this is just because of their donors? | ||
| Or do you think, speaking to the video we played, There's something more nefarious, and I'm just curious with your investigations into these NGOs, you know, who is funding them? | ||
| Where is the drive to basically allow the invasion of the United States? | ||
| Where is that precipitating from? | ||
| Where is that coming from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I know in Texas, it's the same people were fighting on all these other issues. | |
| It's the Texans for Lawsuit Reform that was designed initially to stop abuse of lawsuits in Texas, but it's mushroomed into a woke corporate group that Karl Rove's involved with, a guy named Dick Weakley of Dick Weakley Homes, and of course they want cheap labor, so they want illegal immigration. | ||
| So you get Dick Weakley and Dick Trabolsi in this Texas for Lawsuit reform, along with their strategist, who recently got out of federal prison, a guy named Dennis Calabrese, who does a lot of the strategy for this group. | ||
| And so it is big corporations funding these elections, and then these supposed Republicans won't pass border reform, election reform, and other important things, Because all their money is coming from Texans for Lawsuit Reform and groups associated with Karl Rove. | ||
| A.G. | ||
| Paxton, if I could hold you briefly through the break. | ||
| I got just one or two more questions for you. | ||
| But Warren Posse, we're starting CPAC today. | ||
| Like we've said, it's sort of the pregame, maybe the opening act for those of us who aren't into sports. | ||
| It's already kicked off. | ||
| Like I said, I'll be speaking shortly. | ||
| I also will be speaking on a panel On Friday at, I believe, one o'clock. | ||
| I don't know the location yet. | ||
| Steve is also speaking tonight. | ||
| All this will be live streamed, of course, on Real America's Voice. | ||
| Jack Posobiec will be doing his show live from there. | ||
| War Room will be live every morning and afternoon. | ||
| I'll be co-hosting with Steve. | ||
| We'll, of course, have Probably the best lineup, the best run of guests. | ||
| It's always fun to see all the people who you are used to seeing, just their heads in person. | ||
| So it's still not too late to go and get a ticket or if you're just going to be joining us virtually. | ||
| It's always a fun show. | ||
| I think Steve's true addiction in life is doing the audience Q&A with the mic. | ||
| I think he really loves that. | ||
| So I think he's really excited. | ||

|
War Room, here's your host Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| Our final block, but we still have AG Ken Paxton with us. | ||
| I just wanted to ask you, before I let you go, I'm curious. | ||
| It seems like the Democrats, and especially these, like, hardcore kind of left-wing activist groups, really have their sights set on Texas. | ||
| I think it's sort of a symbolic victory to them, right? | ||
| If they could blue the state, they always love to say, oh, Texas is bluing because our ideas are so great. | ||
| It's like, well, no, you're just What a great question. | ||
| Two reasons. | ||
| of the state and you're importing illegals who then vote Democrat, but sure, couch it as your ideas are so great. But I'm just curious why you think they are so intent on destroying Texas through immigration, through a host of measures, the Soros-funded prosecutors, but why do you think they have their sights set on your wonderful, great state so intently? What a great question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Two reasons. One, votes. If they can take Texas and they can turn a Democrat, they will never let it go because they'll fix the voting so we can't win like they have in other states. | |
| And then they control the country. Then we become a one-party system. There's no accountability. | ||
| Yeah, we have some Republicans here and there, but we can't actually do anything. We don't control anything. That's the primary. The second is, because... | ||
| Many people are moving from very liberal states like California and Illinois and New York, and they're moving to Southern states and Republican states, Western states that are Republican, Midwestern states that are Republican. | ||
| And they're doing it because they want a better opportunity. | ||
| And so we're successful. | ||
| And the Biden administration doesn't like the fact that our states are growing, we're prospering. | ||
| And so by bringing in all of these problems with illegal immigration, with crime and cost, then they hurt our state. | ||
| And by the way, I should say, unfortunately, I'm out in Lubbock today campaigning against an incumbent, Dustin Burroughs, against a guy, Wade Cowan, who I'm supporting. | ||
| And I'm out here and having to do this because guys like Dustin Burroughs were trying to sneak legislation in at the last minute a couple of years ago to get rid of my ability to prosecute voter fraud and make it impossible to prosecute voter fraud. | ||
| And so now I'm having to call these guys out who are in my own party, who are actually participating with the Democrats in taking Texas down. | ||
| So on this NGO lawsuit, what is sort of the path ahead? | ||
| What does the time frame look like? | ||
| Do you think they're going to comply with your document requests? | ||
| How do you think it's going to shake out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we made the document request to this organization and they haven't cooperated. | |
| So now our goal is to get those documents and likely, if they are doing the things we think they're doing, we're going to pull their corporate charter so they can't do business in Texas. | ||
| The message here is, hey, if you're one of these non-governmental organizations doing things that are illegal and you're helping, aiding and abetting the Biden administration and the cartels who are working together on this, if you're violating federal and state law, you're not going to be able to do business as a charity and hide under that cover of darkness and non-transparency. | ||
| We're going to discover it and we're going to stop it. | ||
| If people want to attend all your events, follow you, stay up to date with this suit, and of course all the wonderful lawsuits past, present, and future that you've filed, where can they go to do all of that? | ||

|
So, at KenPaxsonTX is our Twitter and Facebook, and then KenPaxson.com is our website. | |
| So, love to direct people in the right direction about what we're focused on. | ||
| Attorney General, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Have a great day. | ||
| You too. | ||
| Warren Posse, we're getting closer to CPAC actually commencing, but I have to say on the topic of far left individuals and activist groups not turning over documents seems to be, I would say, a habitual offense. | ||
| The DOJ failed to turn over the transcript of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Herr after the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees requested it. | ||
| The Daily Caller. | ||
| Has learned. | ||
| That's an exclusive just put up this morning. | ||
| Shocker, the Biden regime is not cooperating with congressional investigators. | ||
| I always say the circumstantial evidence that they were in business with the Chinese Communist Party and authoritarian regimes is just basically predicated on how they act because they act like Chinese Communist Party princelings who think they are above the law. | ||
| And I could, of course, riff and rant here about how Just the two-tier system of justice, all these words that you guys have heard so many times, but I don't know. | ||
| I don't even think my anger at this point is directed towards the Biden family per se. | ||
| They know they can get away with it because our congressional Republicans lack anything remotely resembling a backbone or a spine, right? | ||
| I mean, didn't we just authorize millions, tons of millions, probably billions of dollars in new funding for the DOJ, given the FBI brand new headquarters? | ||
| Meanwhile, they won't even comply with a transcript request? | ||
| It's absolutely ridiculous and the best we can do. | ||
| Oh, well, Oversight put out a really strongly worded, mean tweet about it. | ||
| Wow, well, when you're giving them all of our taxpayer dollars to build brand new FBI headquarters so they can target even more Americans, throw us into jail for daring to speak out against what they're doing, don't mind if I don't like and retweet because I want more than that. | ||
| And shout out to the War Impostor because you guys have done much more than any of these feckless congressional Republicans have done on basically any issue. | ||
| It's only because of you that we've been changing the narrative and holding the line on Ukraine. | ||
| On the southern border, so I'm excited to meet all you guys at CPAC, of course, but got about two minutes left. | ||
| There's a quick video. | ||
| You guys know I was just on the Whatever podcast getting to debate adult film stars. | ||
| It's a family-friendly show and OnlyFans, Degenerates. | ||
| We'll play this clip just because some good light-hearted fun. | ||
| Watch it, the clip, let it roll. | ||
| Feminism, the pill, the sexual revolution, and I think OnlyFans and porn is sort of the end stage culmination of that cultural shift. | ||
| And when you guys sit there and say, I feel so empowered by doing this. | ||
| I do it because I love sex. | ||
| I know you may think that. | ||
| But there are forces that are a lot more powerful than any of us here. | ||
| There are corporations that want you to be sitting there and saying that because they want you to buy into this narrative, because they are intent on the destruction of Western civilization and the way that they have always done this empirically, whether it's socialism, communism, Marxism, has been going after the family unit. | ||
| And what you guys do is detrimental to the family unit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shots fired. | |
| I just love shagging. | ||
| Imagine telling War Room Talking Points on, I think, what was a seven hour podcast to people who, fun fact, when I got there, they didn't even know who Steve Bannon was. | ||
| So that was fun. | ||
| But War Room Posse, I'm excited to not be in a room of people like that, but to be in a room filled with people like you guys, also for my own physical health and mental well-being. | ||
| Like I said, we got the Force Multiplier Academy starting, or I guess it's already started, starting shortly. | ||
| Fun fact, Biden just cancelled student loans for 150,000 people. | ||
| He knows he has to buy votes because every single policy that they've put out is so woefully unpopular. | ||
| So now they're basically just trying to buy votes, I guess. | ||
| Outsourcing jobs, outsourcing taxpayer dollars to unauditable, corrupt countries replete with human trafficking and sex trafficking. | ||
| Maybe it wasn't the way to win an election, and they know they're not gonna get the fix this time like they did in 2020 because we have a grassroots, fired-up base who's gonna watch to make sure they're not stealing elections. |
