| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, wow, what a day. | ||
| What a day for the War Room. | ||
| What a day in the War Room. | ||
| Just absolutely incredible. | ||
| Before I get to, there's obviously a lot of news out there and a lot of analysis coming globally on the political front. | ||
| Also, this great Entrepreneur Conference going on over in Just across from us in Capitol Hill, a lot going on. | ||
| But I have Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Raheem, I guess we kicked over a hornet's nest today. | ||
| My phone, everything else is gone. | ||
| The Entrepreneur Conference, the speech, all of this. | ||
| And then what happened internationally, we'll get to in a moment. | ||
| One of the biggest things, and something you've been warning about. | ||
| I can tell people behind the scenes, Rahim's been all over this for a while. | ||
| And that is the potential stealing of President Trump's hard fought winning these primaries and caucuses at the Republican convention in Milwaukee in mid-July, exactly like they tried to do. | ||
| In 2016. | ||
| Why is this a reality and not some other, from the fever swamps of MAGA, some other new conspiracy theory because, you know, we don't trust anybody. | ||
| Sir. | ||
| Well, there is obviously the element that not really anybody is trustworthy as far as I think the bugger base is concerned. | ||
| Too many times burned, too many times scorned, and so everything comes with a level of scrutiny attached to it, a very high level of scrutiny attached to it, and when you start applying that scrutiny In specific places, it yields a lot of results in terms of figuring out exactly what machinations are going on behind the scenes. | ||
| Like you say, for weeks now, we have been monitoring who the delegates are, their histories, | ||
| their past, their statements, their endorsements, their friends, their little cliques that they | ||
| have on a state-by-state level, and been getting quite a lot of disturbing feedback across | ||
| a local level from across the country about who these people are and what they perhaps | ||
| believe. | ||
| So, some of them may be just squishers and have pasts of supporting other candidates, | ||
| Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, whatever, but some of them also may be so squishy to the perspective | ||
| that they could end up having their arms twisted in an actual fight, in a floor fight at a | ||
| convention, and those are not the sorts of people you need. | ||
| You need warriors, you need hardcore, dyed-in-the-wall MAGA types, you need people who are going | ||
| to not just fend off advances and inducements, but you need people who will rat those out | ||
| who are trying to recruit them to their subterfuge. | ||
| And so this should come as no surprise to people out there, but for some reason it is | ||
| coming as a surprise. | ||
| To a lot of the people who have been responsible for overseeing these delegate slates. | ||
| And I think without sort of taking shots at people unnecessarily by name, I think the | ||
| real reason for this, if I can be blunt about it, is lethargy, is complacency, is that Donald | ||
| Trump will force his way through like the bull in a china shop, as he always does, as | ||
| he's done with these trials, as he's done with, you know, as he did in the 2016 convention, | ||
| as he's done so many times. | ||
| But I'm afraid that isn't enough. | ||
| And I'm afraid that it isn't doing Donald Trump any favors by kind of sitting back, | ||
| crossing your fingers, and just hoping it all goes correctly. | ||
| It's taken some of us to shake people by the lapels, to tweet openly about these things, for there finally to be movement and acknowledgement on this issue. | ||
| And National Pulse members, because we have our own private Discord chat channel, will know that I've been banging on about this stuff You know, for weeks and weeks on end, if not longer now, that all is not necessarily well when it comes to the RNC. | ||
| No, so I want to go back. | ||
| By the way, Steve Stearns is going to give us an update here on the Precinct Strange in a second. | ||
| Raheem's going to hang around because we're going to talk about the biggest bombshell of the day. | ||
| But I want to get the... Go back for a second. | ||
| You have warned people, because I think you were actually the tip of the tip of the spear when this happened in the primaries against the DeSantis. | ||
| You've been telling me, hey, the DeSantis guys have not really dismantled their their operation. | ||
| They're planning on Trump getting hung up in one of these trials and they're going to be prepared to step in. | ||
| Now you've got the Nikki Haley people and my phone. | ||
| We haven't done anything in a while that my phone and people reached out to me. | ||
| about this this morning having Loomer on, and I heard from state after state after state people saying, you're absolutely correct, I don't care what people are telling you from the RNC, I don't care what people are telling you from the Trump campaign. | ||
| Their deal's being cut, and their arm's being twisted right now at the state level. | ||
| So, walk us through the DeSantis campaign. | ||
| They never really took apart the entire apparatus, and they're kind of, they've thought that they are really a campaign in waiting in case anything untoward happens to President Trump. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| And there's still, I've noticed, taking potshots. | ||
| And I'm not talking about an errant tweet here or there from some anonymous account on X with a little crocodile in its handle, right? | ||
| I'm talking about publications and authors of publications that should be You know, pulling in behind Donald Trump, pulling in behind the MAGA base right now, because they won Earth to the simps, we beat you. | ||
| And it's time for them to fall in line. | ||
| And yet, you still see people lobbing bombs like this. | ||
| Now, again, you know, I have matured somewhat in the last couple of years, Steve, where I don't necessarily I know this audience can get very, very active when it comes to seeking these people out and letting them know what they think. | ||
| That's a step that we'll go to next if this type of behavior continues. | ||
| But I will take some of the, let's say, the thematics of their opposition to Trump that continue to this day to task right now. | ||
| Of course, a lot of people on the DeSantis right saying, OK, you know, we're still not going to vote for Trump because of the abortion thing. | ||
| And then a lot of people saying, well, we're still not going to vote for Trump because he endorses people that we don't like. | ||
| And my attitude towards that at this point in time, Okay. | ||
| You can have all the problems you want with Donald Trump in the world, as far as I'm concerned, but there are no problems large enough that you're willing to see Joe Biden and his fascists have another four years in the White House. | ||
| Get that through your thick DeSimp skulls. | ||
| And it's not just, as you say, it's not just those DeSantis people. | ||
| You know, the Nikki Haley times, it's different, right? | ||
| Because I actually do think that most, the predominant majority of Ron DeSantis supporters are actually patriots. | ||
| They're just not particularly politically intelligent. | ||
| And by politically intelligent, I mean, I mean, the strategy of things, right? | ||
| The Nikki Haley people are actually completely anathema to the Trump movement. | ||
| These are neoliberals, neoconservatives. | ||
| They want the MAGA base dead. | ||
| They want Donald Trump out of the picture. | ||
| They want him consigned to the dustbin of history. | ||
| They want this to be a blip in the Republican Party's history, not for its future. | ||
| And that's the real concern, I think, here. | ||
| You've seen how her family members have been tweeting their nefarious intentions for the convention. | ||
| I think it's got to the point where we have to say this. | ||
| We have a new team, supposedly, right, at the RNC. | ||
| Michael Whatley, Lara Trump, Chris Lasavita, Let's hear them say, these people are not welcome on the premises. | ||
| You are banned from attending the convention. | ||
| You are not allowed onto the delegate floor. | ||
| You've been signaling what you're going to do. | ||
| I'm afraid this is simply not going to happen. | ||
| That's the kind of messaging that we want to hear, we need to hear right now, because the Republican Party, Donald Trump, and the campaign cannot afford to take the spotlight off what is obviously going to be carnage at the DNC this summer. | ||
| Do you, to go back to the DeSantis and let's add the Nikki Haley, because the criticism is that we have to bring everybody together in order to win, and particularly in the margins we're talking about, do you believe with your political operative hat on that we actually can win the types of seats we're talking about in the Senate, hold the House and pick up some seats, and win with a thumping, you know, vast majority here of these states? | ||
| If we don't bring the neoliberal, neocon, Nikki Haley people in, or you're saying that our policies are just so different that there's really no home for them, and if they want to vote Democrat, they vote Democrat. | ||
| Yeah, and so I'll put my literal political strategist hat on right now. | ||
| I don't think you can see it, but it just has the word hitman written across the front, which is pretty much what I was known for in British politics. | ||
| They used to call me machete. | ||
| I was supposed to be the one who went and And I wouldn't say physically, we won't confess to anything | ||
| like that, but rough people up if they go out of line. | ||
| And what you're talking about here is people getting out of line. | ||
| Now again, the DeSantis people, I think, broadly speaking, are on the MAGA side. | ||
| We broadly believe in the same things. | ||
| We just believe in different ways of getting there. | ||
| They, in my experience, have adopted far more of a kind of a libertarian strategy of getting | ||
| to where they want to go. | ||
| And so I don't think you necessarily want to push them away or push them out of the | ||
| tent. | ||
| The Nikki Haley people, it's one of those. | ||
| It's a great question you ask because it's such a difficult decision when you say, you know, if you push those people out, can you get over the line in certain places? | ||
| I actually think they are wildly overrepresented. | ||
| They are a terribly loud, hyper minority of people. | ||
| I wrote about this recently, about how Nikki Haley's not actually getting 20% of the vote in Indiana in the primaries and things like that. | ||
| This is primary pick at the Democrat group, which is blasting out to Democrats to go and vote in Republican, either open primaries or semi-open primaries. | ||
| And then of course, because the primary process is in effect over, you have fewer Trump voters going out and voting in these primaries. | ||
| And so it squashes the broader amount of people that you can pull from it, and then therefore I think you have to either convince these people, right? | ||
| It's a join or die kind of mentality. | ||
| You have to convince these people you had your way for several decades, you messed it up at every turn, you're corrupting the nation, you're corrupting the world. | ||
| Look at the Haley-type foreign policy that is being played out all across the Western | ||
| world right now. | ||
| It is not resulting in anything good for anyone good, and everyone bad is seeking to benefit | ||
| and is benefiting indeed China, Persia, Russia, you name it, Hamas, you name it. | ||
| And I think we have to say to them, give it up. | ||
| Give up your long-standing quote-unquote principles, which appear to be the principles of being the party of death and destruction. | ||
| Otherwise, yeah, as you said just now, it's time for you to leave the party. | ||
| You are a Democrat now. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| OK, Rahim, we have other massive news today. | ||
| Just hold on for a second. | ||
| I want to bring in, can we play the cold open for Steve Stern? | ||
| We've been doing updates from around the country today on this. | ||
| Let's bring in Steve Stern, the master strategist for All Things Precinct Strategy. | ||
| Hello, I'm Steve Stern, CEO of FlagShirt.com, a third generation veteran owned small business. | ||
| I believe that the American way of life is for all of us. | ||
| I'm asking you today to visit FlagShirt.com. | ||

| So, Steve Stern, can you answer the question? | ||
| You've been the tip of the spear from the beginning on this. | ||
| Why is the establishment fighting the grassroots? | ||
| Why are they fighting people coming to the precinct strategy? | ||
| Why are we fighting it from Idaho to Florida to Texas? | ||
| We had guys on the day. | ||
| What is the beef? | ||
| You heard the Nikki Haley thing, DeSantis team, maybe trying to disrupt the convention, at least to give the mainstream media a big story that Trump hasn't pulled together the Republican Party. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Sir, that keeps the establishment from embracing MAGA and embracing the precinct strategy. | ||
| Well, you know, all over the country we speak to people, and I gotta tell you that the MAGA is bouncing out the establishment, the RINOs, because what they are is, they're people that have been in power for 10, 15 years. | ||
| And you know, they get all the glory. | ||
| So they don't want to give up the power. | ||
| I mean, it's just like everybody else. | ||
| Like, what's happening in Congress? | ||
| You know, you got guys there for 20 years. | ||
| They're terrible, but they don't want to give up their power. | ||
| So we're fighting night and day, and we got to get people involved. | ||
| And people call me all the time, hey, I can't even get to a meeting because they won't even let me in. | ||
| And I say, get 100 MAGA people, get to the meeting. | ||
| They're going to let you in, and they do. | ||
| So first of all, learn by getting the book from Dan Schultz. | ||
| that he wrote, go to precinctstrategy.com to see how to get involved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Now, a very nice thing happened. | ||
| You had me on the other day, had my birthday. | ||
| I have to show you this. I had a tremendous birthday present here. | ||
| I don't know if everybody can see this. | ||
| You can see that a Trump ring and a 47 ring. | ||
| So there is so much power for President Trump. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| I mean, people don't realize that because I speak to the people and there's so many | ||
| people that want to get involved for President Trump. | ||
| It's unbelievable. You know, when he won. | ||
| Okay, I got that. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| You come on and you had 60,000 on the call the other day. | ||
| You get excited. | ||
| But what about Rahim saying Nikki Haley had Laura Loomer on today. | ||
| You got these Nikki Haley people think they're going to go to the convention and at least kick up some dust about he's not a unanimous selection. | ||
| You got the DeSantis guys. | ||
| I realize you're Florida, but the DeSantis guys still have a campaign. | ||
| In theory, kind of hanging off to the side. | ||
| We have enthusiasm. | ||
| I mean, Texas is a MAGA state. | ||
| You saw this morning. | ||
| They're in a dogfight for the House because the House is controlled by Democrats who really can't fog a mirror down there. | ||
| So what is it about the establishment that continues for them to want to hold on to power? | ||
| So listen, nobody wants to give up power. | ||
| You know, that's the story. | ||
| So we have to fight them. | ||
| And sure, we can't give up, because I hear from a lot of people and they say, hey, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried. | ||
| Can't give up. | ||
| So I'm the vice chair of the Brown Republican Executive Committee. | ||
| And we are getting people in left and right. | ||
| We're all magnet. | ||
| And all through Florida it's happening. | ||
| Now there are some states like Pennsylvania where we had some problems but we're gaining strength. | ||
| And we ask people to get involved and we ask them to come on our call to find out what's going on. | ||
| So we have two important things going on. | ||
| We have the Flag Day event and I want to show you this because you were on last year. | ||
| We're going to have 24 speakers. | ||
| It's called this year Rogues, Rascals, and Ruffians, and we're going to have some of the top people in the country on. | ||
| We're going to have people from One American News, we're going to have John Rich, the famous singer on, Dave Brat, who's on your show all the time, Jerome Corsi, Emeril Robinson, Jeff Kooner, Tom Renz, Joni Brynen, Who does the 917 Society. | ||
| There's tons of people coming on, and we're also going to have, and I need to have everybody see my email, email me. | ||
| We're going to have our June 5th call. | ||
| We had, like you said, we had 65,000 people on. | ||
| You helped us with the election security call. | ||
| People get involved, and I'm going to tell you something after I tell you about that, but we're going to have Raj Dajani, Defend Florida, who co-hosted with me. | ||
| Linda Sinkiewicz, that's an important person. | ||
| FightVoterFraud.org. | ||
| What she's doing, she's got arrest warrants for 10 people. | ||
| The police wouldn't get them arrested. | ||
| They double, triple voted. | ||
| They stuffed the ballot boxes. | ||
| She went to the Supreme Court in Connecticut. | ||
| The case is pending. | ||
| Let's see what happens there. | ||
| We're going to have Lynn Taylor on, who works with Cleta Mitchell, Leah Hoops, who's going to talk about how we're going to stop the illegals on there. | ||
| We're going to have a big person on, Michelle Swinnick. | ||
| She hasn't been on in a long time. | ||
| She's going to tell you something that you want to hear. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| She has all the proof now and she's going to expose it on this on our call | ||
| Exactly how they stole the election and how we got to stop them again | ||
| We're also going to be talking about how to keep the illegal | ||
| So where do people I want to give right now give give Where people go for this call because I want to talk about | ||
| this weekend Memorial Day You're going to be part of our special broadcasting and the importance now of honoring the American flag. | ||
| Tell me about, first of all, where do they go to participate? | ||
| People want to know. | ||
| Your calls are incredible. | ||
| You don't have to say anything. | ||
| You just get on there. | ||
| Just listen to the information. | ||
| You'll be overwhelmed. | ||
| Where do people go for this? | ||
| You can go to Stern American and sign up there. | ||
| You can email me at estern1054 gmail. | ||
| About four weeks ago when I was on your show we had a thousand people come on. | ||
| The other thing is I know it's going to be Memorial Day. | ||
| I am a veteran. | ||
| I was in the Vietnam era. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was in the medical corps. | |
| I was a reservist. | ||
| But I want to tell you something about when I was on your show the other day on the flag shirt. | ||
| We had tremendous success. | ||
| I want to thank everybody who sent me happy birthday wishes and who brought us stuff. | ||
| But I want to tell you about a couple of new products. | ||
| There's the number one product we have, a cowboy hat. | ||
| Who would ever think that a cowboy hat would be the number one? | ||
| A lot of people don't realize we have socks. | ||
| We have flag shirt socks. | ||
| Unbelievable item. | ||
| And for the women, you can see in the back, we have capes. | ||
| And that is a huge amount of what's going on. | ||
| I've got my new shirt on. | ||
| Each month, we bring out a new shirt. | ||
| And you go to the FlagShirt.com, www.FlagShirt.com. | ||
| You can call me, 954-318-6902. | ||
| You go to my email, there's Stern 1034-Gmail. | ||
| You can get involved. | ||
| We need to get people involved. | ||
| Look, there's 400,000 spots. | ||
| There's now 210,000. | ||
| We picked up 10,000 people over the last two months because of the posse. | ||
| Many of the posse are calling me, and a great thing happened today. | ||
| Just this morning, a guy called me from the state of Washington, and he heard me on one of the shows, and he said he wants to do a newsletter, which I told you before. | ||
| There's a guy in South Carolina, he and his wife, Olga, they send out a newsletter every day. | ||
| It's called mymyscgop.com. | ||
| That's the most important thing you can learn from this show today. | ||
| We need people to step up and start writing, It could be once a week. | ||
| So if Steve Bannon tells Steve Stern, hey, you got to get this out, we get a million people right away. | ||
| We've got to get the people to start calling their congressmen. | ||
| This is outrageous that these things are happening to Donald Trump, the president. | ||
| You know, we support him. | ||
| I made 30,000 calls for him on the last election. | ||
| He won the election. | ||
| This time we cannot lose. | ||
| I know they're out to get him. | ||
| And thank God he wasn't in Mar-a-Lago when the raid happened, because for sure he wouldn't be here today. | ||
| So we've got to take it easy. | ||
| We've got to start to work. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Look, I'm 83. | ||
| I spend 12 hours a day, you know, on this. | ||
| Give me an hour. | ||
| If you're a veteran, on Memorial Day coming up, give me an hour. | ||
| An hour a week, that's all I ask for, and we could change this country. | ||
| Change it. | ||
| Steve Stern, your patriot and a hero. | ||
| Most ambitious 83-year-old I know. | ||
| Keep fighting, sir. | ||
| The Flagshirt Company, glad to have you guys on board here. | ||
| Thank you so much, Steve Stern. | ||
| Get on that call. | ||
| Remember, part of the journey in getting together is camaraderie. | ||
| You're going to meet friends, you're going to meet people, and I don't care how old you are, you're going to sit there and go, wow, there are kindred spirits all over this nation that are pulling in the same direction. | ||
| That is the central biggest thing of what we're doing on this engagement, is to pull people in and say, hey, there are people in Idaho, there are people in Michigan, there are people in Vermont. | ||
| That believe what you believe and are prepared to fight for it. | ||
| And you're going to have experiences. | ||
| You're going to go places. | ||
| It's a, it's a light game changer and it ain't taking a cruise. | ||
| It's all free. | ||
| It just takes you and your commitment and action. | ||
| Rahim Ghassan, you've done this pretty shocking news. | ||
| I still don't quite get it, so I know you're going to explain it to me. | ||
| What happened today in the United Kingdom? | ||
| This was kind of a bombshell. | ||
| And was there any symbolism to naming this election or appointing this election for July 4th? | ||
| Yeah, look, Steve, I think the Conservative Party, which has governed to the centre-left, and that's being kind about it for the last nearly 15 years, started to realise that actually, you know, there is a fixed term in which British parliamentary elections can be called, and the election had to be held before the beginning of January next year, and the closer you got Well, firstly, a lot more rot can set in. | ||
| Remember, they've presided over record numbers of migration over the last 15 years. | ||
| Those numbers are getting worse, not better. | ||
| They presided over inflation. | ||
| They presided over the lockdowns. | ||
| They presided over all manner of things, lots of LGBTQ stuff, lots of hate speech stuff. | ||
| And I think they realise politically things can only get worse for them, not necessarily | ||
| better, which is ironic because as Rishi Sunak was announcing, the Prime Minister was announcing | ||
| the July 4th election, in the background of 10 Downing Street was blaring this song, and | ||
| I use blaring as a pun as well, called Things Can Only Get Better. | ||
| Now, that song was the Labour Party, the left-wing Labour Party's anthem in 1997, which was when Tony Blair took government in a landslide election. | ||
| Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, is very much trying to replicate that kind of victory at the upcoming general election. | ||
| The second reason it was important was weather. | ||
| Conservative Party activists especially, let alone voters, tend to be older and the concern was that if they held an election in a cold or wet and windy autumn, fall or winter, then their activists and campaigners would not find it particularly enticing to go out there and try and turn out the votes at a local level. | ||
| Remember, British elections do not have television advertising. | ||
| There's no radio advertising. | ||
| They really rely on the foot soldiers knocking on doors, delivering leaflets, speaking to voters face to face. | ||
| And when you are a predominantly older base of political campaigner party, you really don't want to send people out there in the cold and the wet and the wind. | ||
| And that's, you know, sounds parochial. | ||
| It is parochial. | ||
| That is a major decision when it comes to when you, when and how you hold an election in the United Kingdom. | ||
| You know, we talk about the weather a lot as Brits. | ||
| We especially talk about the weather as Brits in politics. | ||
| But the significance of this whole thing shouldn't be missed. | ||
| The Conservative Party deservedly thinks it's going to get wiped out. | ||
| It probably will get wiped out. | ||
| Rishi Sunak's speech outside Downing Street earlier today. | ||
| He was drenched in the rain and he will take, I think it will, it will look like he looked washed out and washed up and I think that's what he'll look like after the election too. | ||
| It was, we had the European parliamentary elections in early June, a couple weeks away. | ||
| Early June, right? | ||
| Early or mid-June. | ||
| Kind of stretches out I think in a couple of countries. | ||
| Then you've got the UK general election on July 4th right after that. | ||
| I don't think we've ever had those two elections this close. | ||
| I mean, this is going to be, you could see a completely different, you got the rise of the populist right on the continent. | ||
| I think you have it underneath in the Brexit movement, right? | ||
| You haven't particularly seen that in Tory politics. | ||
| I tell you what, I just got an update on my clock. | ||
| Why don't you hang there, Rahim? | ||
| We'll bring you back after a short commercial break. | ||
| Ben Harnwall is also going to join us and maybe I think we'll get in some Ukraine situation as it ties this election. | ||
| But blockbuster news today, Richie Sunak called for the general election on July 4th in the United Kingdom and that is coming off the back of these massive European parliamentary elections of where the Brussels crowd and the party of Davos are absolutely shocked about the rise of the populist sovereignty nationalist right. | ||
| Ben Harnwell from Rome, of course, our leading expert in all things British politics, being a top operator over there. | ||

Earlier today I spoke with His Majesty the King to request the dissolution of Parliament. | |
| The King has granted this request and we will have a general election on the 4th of July. | ||
| This election will take place at a time when the world is more dangerous than it has been since the end of the Cold War. | ||
| More dangerous than the end of the Cold War. | ||
| I think we would agree with that. | ||
| Great cut there. | ||
| I want to thank you, crack team. | ||
| This is why, by the way, we're so honored to be sponsored by Birch Gold, because it is more dangerous. | ||
| A hundred times more dangerous. | ||
| And why is it more dangerous? | ||
| This just didn't happenstance. | ||
| Why is it more dangerous? | ||
| Prime Minister Sunak, Because the neoliberal neocons have played the game with the radical Marxist totalitarians, and this is where we are. | ||
| And it's the populist, nationalist, sovereigntist that are standing up to the little guy saying no. | ||
| This international order that you set up. | ||
| Uh, and quite frankly, gun decked by, wait for it, not taking down the Chinese Communist Party the second time when you had a shot, right, at Tiananmen Square, and not really freeing the Russian people but turning them back over to the wolves of the KGB, right, and then later, Not allowing President Trump in the America First movement to somehow figure out how to partner with the Russian people, our great ally in World War II, to break the grip of the Chinese Communist Party and the Sharia supremacist mullahs in Persia. | ||
| So, this is where we are. | ||
| By the way, there's a movie, you don't think we used to go around and talk about this all the time, including in Europe? | ||
| The movie The Brink, if you ever watched the documentary, it's Raheem Kassam, myself, and a few others going around Europe, and I think in 2018, 2019, leading up to the parliamentary elections, European parliamentary elections, there's kind of the beginning of the rise of the populist right. | ||
| This is following the great victory of Brexit, which was Rahim Ghassan and Nigel Farage in | ||
| 2016, the predicate for the Trump win in 2016. | ||
| We talked about it then, and it is more dangerous, more dangerous because the same klutzes in | ||
| charge, the same evil ones have been in charge. | ||
| Before I go to Ben Harnwa in Rome, Rahim Ghassan, here's what I think, just explain to our American | ||
| audience, riddle them this. | ||
| Have the Tories been in charge for 12 years and we have the United Kingdom essentially outside of London as a third world nation if you look at the economics, the great industrial power of the United Kingdom. | ||
| How did they have Brexit? | ||
| That essentially they pissed away. | ||
| They looked at it as something to be overcome instead of an opportunity to seize that Nigel Farage and yourself gave them. | ||
| How did the Tories' rule bookend it, you know, over top of Brexit and be such a total disaster that they essentially think they're being cute? | ||
| They're calling a snap election because they think they'll get wiped out less if they call a snap election than wait till November or even wait till early 2025, sir. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| And, you know, everything I said in the last segment isn't to downplay at all what I think is the big Damoclean sword hanging over the necks of the Conservative Party, which is Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party. | ||
| And I think they also realise that if you give them the opportunity over the summer, the opportunity over the autumn to get their ducks in a row, then that party Which is probably more of a centre-right party. | ||
| We'll tear chunks out of the Conservative vote even further. | ||
| You're very right to bring that up, but I can summarise the answer to your question in two words. | ||
| How? | ||
| And it's not 12 years, it's 14 years. | ||
| By the way, I should have got you a picture for this segment. | ||
| I was sitting on the balcony of County Hall in London behind David Cameron, a young Raheem Kassam, when he announced the Conservative Manifesto, the Conservative election campaign for the year 2010. | ||
| You can see me in the background in the images. | ||
| I was a member of Britain's Conservative Party back then. | ||
| The time for change after Thirteen years of Labour governance had truly come, and we really genuinely believed that something different was around the corner. | ||
| But to get back to your question, something different wasn't around the corner. | ||
| Two words. | ||
| Neoliberal oligarchy. | ||
| And you saw it immediately. | ||
| It's why as soon as that general election all those years ago was over, they did a deal with the Liberal Democrats and governed in coalition, governed to the left. | ||
| They, as you say, treated Brexit in the very same way. | ||
| The neoliberal oligarchy, you're right to point out that outside of London especially, | ||
| has led to so much poverty, abject poverty, real, real, genuine. | ||
| I'm not talking about people are finding it a little bit more difficult. | ||
| I'm talking about genuine poverty, childhood poverty increasing, neighbourhoods completely dilapidated. | ||
| And a lot of it comes from the fact that in addition to being a representative of the 1% of the 1%, which is, by the way, exactly what the Labour Party will offer in government as well, that the Conservative Party spent so much money on SOPs to the political left Throwing cash into Britain's nationalised health service, throwing cash into all sorts of other pet projects, socialist projects, to try and hold that sort of centre-left coalition together over the past 14 years. | ||
| And look, to a lot of extent, it worked. | ||
| They are still in power after a 14-year period, which is absolutely stunning when you consider some of the leaders that they've had. | ||
| Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, David Cameron. | ||
| I mean, the likes of people who I wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire, quite frankly. | ||
| But here we are, and what's being ushered in, what will be ushered in on that morning of July the 5th, is a government that will govern to the far left, that will govern again for the 1% of the 1%. | ||
| while throwing sops to the far left and also a government that will be racked with its | ||
| own internal fissures as, you know, these names will mean nothing to you now but mark | ||
| my words, as the Angela Rayners and the David Lammy's vie for power ahead of Sir Keir Starmer. | ||
| Keep an eye on all of those names, on all of those faces, because they will be the ones | ||
| visiting Donald Trump in the White House. | ||
| They will be the ones begging for more money for their partners in Ukraine. | ||
| They will be the ones who are leading Britain's neoconservative, neo-interventionist government. | ||
| The irony should not be lost. | ||
| The reason they have such a big thing, they drafted off and got a free ride off of Brexit and the sovereignty movement. | ||
| This is why Boris Johnson got that massive That massive, overwhelming, I think, 252 votes. | ||
| I tried to warn Nigel not to endorse Boris. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| No, but the irony is, of 2010, and that was the Tea Party election, we got 63 seats in the House, the rise of the populace right here, hey, with some bumps, Folks, with some bonds, but look, you go back to 2010 when they put out the Conservative Manifesto. | ||
| You look at the rise, and we've taken over the Republican Party, and it ain't perfect. | ||
| It's a long way from perfect. | ||
| But you look at the arc of the populist nationalist movement in the United States of America, and you compare it to they put out that Conservative Manifesto in 2010, and they've had power for 14 years. | ||
| We ain't. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Only for a few of those. | ||
| You look at where we are today. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, your thoughts and observations, brother. | ||
| I think we're going to make an announcement here after the European Parliamentary elections. | ||
| I think we're going to second Ben Harnwell to Parliament, to the hustings out in the United Kingdom, to report on this as our correspondent in the field. | ||
| Ben Harnwell. | ||

Steve. | |
| Good afternoon to you. | ||
| Good afternoon, Raheem. | ||
| Well, look, Raheem was mentioning how he was there back in 2010 lurking behind David Cameron's shoulder. | ||
| I was actually working in the House of Commons myself as a researcher, at least back in 97, when John Major and his You know, a dreadful government was finally booted out, I think, gone for 13 years. | ||
| And I found a lot of the arguments used at that stage had a strong parallel with the present situation. | ||
| With both instances, you had a Tory administration really on its last legs, had no real popular mandate, didn't know how to exercise power, had a useless leader with very little charisma or vision. | ||
| But the arguments used at the time to John Major, and he really called that general election | ||
| on the literally, it was the last day that the unwritten constitution allowed, basically | ||
| the argument was, on behalf of his cabinet, we're going to be out for a long, long time. | ||
| Use the time that we can to try and put off the damage that Tony Blair is inevitably going | ||
| to do to the country. | ||
| And on a personal perspective, this is the last time where, you know, we cabinet ministers are ever going to have our feet under the cabinet table. | ||
| So if you go early, we're going to get wiped out. | ||
| If you go early, then that's our political careers finished. | ||
| And that's one of the reasons John Major really literally clung on with his fingertips really | ||
| to the last day. | ||
| And those arguments are the same today. | ||
| The toys are going to be out for a long time now. | ||
| And I think Rishi Sunak is a cretin. | ||
| He's a moron, has no instinct for politics. | ||
| And I think he's been advised on the side bump on economic data this morning that, you | ||
| know, seize the initiative, Rishi. | ||
| Show that you are a man of leadership and vision, that you can seize destiny with your | ||
| both hands and call this election. | ||
| You have absolute discretion as to when you call it. | ||
| Call it now. | ||
| Call it for July. | ||
| And I think he listened to them. | ||
| Cooler heads, I think, would have suggested to him to go with the dates that most pundits were expecting, October or November. | ||
| And the last possible date, I think, was the 28th of January. | ||
| And here's the reason, Steve, right? | ||
| Harold Wilson said, back in the 60s, was it, a week is a long time in politics. | ||
| When you're as useless as Rishi Sunak, and as visionless as Rishi Sunak, and you're absolutely determined to hold, as Rahim was saying, the British people in contempt, and you don't want to have a bump in your pulse by delivering on things that they might actually want, then you're going to play it safe. | ||
| That's what you're going to do if you're Rishi Sunak. | ||
| Play it safe. | ||
| Things may change. | ||
| You're going to get wiped out. | ||
| It's going to be a tidal wave into oblivion, at least No. | ||
| Stay around and perhaps, perhaps, look how fortunate Georgia Maloney has been. | ||
| Every single incident that's come along, it's been to her benefit. | ||
| And she's mocked that up very competently. | ||
| Every single advantage, she's used that for herself. | ||
| Politics has good fortune as well as bad fortune. | ||
| Cooler heads would have said to him, stay the course. | ||
| And you never know, something might come along that might give you a five, 20 points behind white, that might give you a five, 5% bump. | ||
| That could be a couple of dozen seats that will hold other whites. | ||
| But the thing is, it's just an illustration that the guy has really no, no sense, no governing sense, no political sense. | ||
| And the Tories are going to get wiped out. | ||
| Brahim, I've got so much to go through with you guys and we'll do it hopefully tomorrow and the next couple of days because this is everything. | ||
| Nigel Farage, his role here, since this is called a snap election, and I tend to agree with Harnwell here, I don't think it's a well-timed or smart, even given the weather. | ||
| Is Nigel Farage, do you think he'll take an active role in this? | ||
| Now it's a snap election, he'll sit on the sidelines and say, let's see how bad the wipeout is? | ||
| Well, let me show you some, let me show you a, especially for the televisual audience, a little artifact before I answer that question. | ||
| I didn't realize I had this here in America with me. | ||
| But this, I hold in my hand right here, is the Conservative Manifesto from 2010. | ||
| It is called An Invitation to Join the Government of Britain, and this is the exact one that David Cameron himself gave me all those years ago. | ||
| And I just ran over to the bookshelf while you were talking to Ben there to see if I still had this. | ||
| And I looked up the section on immigration because immigration really is one of the top two, top three issues that is driving voters away from the Conservative Party, not just over the last few years, especially on the run-ups of this election. | ||
| It will make a huge impact And to answer your question, this brings in the Farage factor at this election, right? | ||
| But I just want to quote this for you. | ||
| In the first mention of immigration, there are only three times the word immigration is mentioned in this 100-page document. | ||
| It says, immigration has enriched our nation over the years, and we want to attract the brightest and the best people who can make a real difference to our economic growth. | ||
| But immigration today is too high and needs to be reduced, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| We will take the steps to bring net migration back to the levels of the 1990s, tens of thousands a year, not | ||
| hundreds of thousands. Well, I think Ben can probably agree with me on this. Migration into the | ||
| United Kingdom is at an all-time high. | ||
| It has never been higher. It was at 300,000 net during the Brexit vote. It is around 700,000 net. | ||
| There were a million visas issued last year into the United Kingdom. And so, the Farage factor | ||
| looms large. There is not going to be an election where Nigel really takes a back seat. It does. | ||
| There is still the question over whether or not he himself runs for a seat in Parliament. | ||
| I would advise not. | ||
| I would say that in this kind of election, at this kind of pace, there is nothing to | ||
| be gained because the reform of the Farage vote is spread so thinly across the country, | ||
| we can get really cephalogical about it. | ||
| But I think he should wait, hold, keep his powder dry, hold until the Labour Party take | ||
| power, and then become the face of opposition in British politics until the next general | ||
| election, where, you know, I think you and I believe it, Steve. | ||
|

|
He can then become the Prime Minister. | |
| Where do people go? | ||
| Your social media is on fire on both international geopolitics and of course domestic politics here. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||

| Let you guys have your say more. | ||
| TheNationalPulse.com forward slash War Room. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Thanks, Ben. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| The National Pulse. | ||
| Ben, I was going to spend a lot more time with this. | ||
| I just want to set the framework. | ||
| Things are going on in Ukraine with this run-up. | ||
| You had the conference in Spain last week. | ||
| You've got the rise of the populist right, the rise of the sovereignty movement on the continent, and now in disarray, the people that should be the sovereignty movement are crashing and burning. | ||
| Your closing thoughts here, sir? | ||
| Look, if you look to see what the German judicial authorities are doing in Germany... Look, I'll close with this, right? | ||
| I know we don't have much time. | ||
| Historically, in election times, if there was damn dirt on a politician, it would be in the safe of some newspaper editor, right? | ||
| And at the right time, that would come out and land on the front page. | ||
| It's no longer the press which is launching these things. | ||
| It's the judicial authorities. | ||
| It's the state prosecutors. | ||
| The AFD in Germany is being hit. | ||
| There's no pretense. | ||
| It's all about the European elections in the first week, second week of June. | ||
| No pretense that this is not related to that. | ||
| But the AFD, which had been running sort of extremely high in the polls, is being hit. | ||
| Its leading proponents are being hit by one thing after another, after a daily basis. | ||
| Now, I'll say this, right? | ||
| It is possible, it is possible that due to this, The AFD might suffer a significant setback in the European | ||
| elections. | ||
| What will that, all that will affect is you can't stop the pendulum from swinging because | ||
| the AFD support fundamentally comes from the people. | ||
| All you can do is, I mean, you can hold the pendulum with your hand, perhaps for an electoral cycle, perhaps for two. | ||
| All it means that when that pendulum comes back, it's going to swing far, far further than anyone is expecting. | ||
| And that is the nature of things. | ||
| I think the German authorities are playing an extremely dangerous game with these kind of mechanisms to frustrate the popular will. | ||
| The AFD has an import, the AFD, the Alternative für Deutschland, Has an important electoral agenda to fulfill and it comes from the people. | ||
| And if you, like they're doing in the United States, if you use the authorities to stop that from happening, the fundamental desire for change will seek other outlets. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Very wise. | ||
| That's a time of turbulence. | ||
| We're going to have some AFD folks on next week to talk about this in detail because what's happening there is quite shocking. | ||
| Ben, how do people get to you now more than ever with the European parliamentary elections coming up, with the UK elections on 4th of July? | ||
| Just insane with everything going on in Ukraine, everything Ben reports on that affects domestic politics here. | ||
| Because domestic politics ain't domestic anymore, it's global. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| Everything has an input here. | ||
| Where do people go to get your stuff, Ben? | ||
