Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Well, I think there's reason to be concerned for several reasons.
heads of state here and military leaders about what would happen to NATO if Donald Trump
were to be elected again.
What is your level of anxiety about that?
nancy pelosi
Well, I think there's reason to be concerned for several reasons.
First of all, when he was president, sad to say, when he was president, he said he cast
doubt as to whether we would honor our mutual defense commitment that is in NATO.
And now and then you hear him say if people haven't paid their if countries haven't paid
their 2 percent, then Putin can have at them.
I mean, this is insane.
I think we should be spending a lot more time paying attention to what this.
Prospect is for our own national security.
Joe Biden has been a part of expanding NATO, strengthening NATO and in a really remarkable way, in a way that that commands respect for our country, for being respectful of other views and timing.
And so it's the differences.
Well, the contrast is so great.
But in terms of our national security, Which is our responsibility to keep people safe.
That means globally and locally and in every way.
Donald Trump is a danger to our country.
And people should understand that.
And when he goes off and cozies up to Putin, his buddy, for whatever reason, you know, when I left that table with that pointing to him, I was saying, with you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.
And it still is true.
What's the connection?
I don't know.
But whatever it is, it's dangerous.
It's dangerous to the American people and global security.
unidentified
I've been to Europe this year, even before the debate.
There were very serious concerns that Trump was going to get re-elected.
I can bet that almost all of those NATO leaders really, really want to see Donald Trump out of the White House.
Now, there are some other leaders who want to see Donald Trump in the White House, and Vladimir Putin is one of them.
And he has counter-programmed this NATO summit with meetings with Viktor Orban, for instance,
perhaps the only NATO leader that would like to see Trump elected, too.
I think what they're going to be looking for is what is Joe Biden like behind the scenes?
What's he like in meetings?
What's he like not just when he's forcefully delivering the message he did tonight very
well, speaking from prepared remarks, but what's he like in bilateral meetings?
What's he like in the hallway?
What is his mood?
Does he seem committed to staying in the race?
And does he seem like he's committed to winning?
to winning. In a lot of ways, Troy, the Democratic caucus in the House and Senate is probably not
that dissimilar from what's happening in the leaders lounge at the NATO summit. All the
conversations are about trying to determine whether people are going to leave this summit
believing that Biden has it in him to win, to run and win this race. Does he have your support
nancy pelosi
to be the head of the Democratic Senate? As long as the president has the president,
it's up to the president to decide if he is going to run.
We're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short.
The, I think, overwhelming support of the caucus, it's not for me to say, I'm not the head of the caucus anymore.
He's beloved.
He is respected.
And people want him to make that decision, not me.
unidentified
He has said he has made the decision.
He has said firmly this week he is going to run.
Do you want him to run?
nancy pelosi
I want him to do whatever he decides to do.
And that's the way it is.
Whatever he decides, we go with.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
dave brat
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
unidentified
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Dave Brat in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon.
I pledged to show our respect and thankfulness to Steve in the War Room and the entire team here at Real America's Voice.
Steve up in the D.C.
behind his chair is the sign of the cross.
So we're opening every show in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Please pray for Steve.
Pray for our country.
But as Steve would say, no crying in the war room.
No notes.
It's time for action, action, action.
Wherever God calls you, you take action.
And that's what we're going to do today.
Power hitters lined up for the next two hours.
This is going to be the best show imaginable.
So stay tuned, share with everybody, tell everybody what we got coming up.
We got Norbin Laden coming right up, Sam Faddis, and then Lara Logan just in this block.
I want to open up by just a little brief commentary on former Speaker Pelosi.
They're on NATO, etc.
Just the high-level remarks are fascinating, right, to watch.
All roads lead to Russia.
This is after we've been tormented with the Steele dossier, who Speaker Ryan had ahead of time, I guess, and then three years of Russiagate, Russiagate, Russiagate, the Washington Post hitting President Trump right out of the box before he'd done anything as president, the first day.
All political views are my own, obviously.
But what does she say?
All roads lead to Putin.
They want all roads to lead to Putin.
It's just obvious.
Any geopolitical expert we've had on this show, everybody knows all roads lead to China.
And they all lead to the globalist billionaire class.
And so the next few speakers we have, we're going to hit those issues.
This globalist elitist class.
It involves everyone from Soros to Davos to the Billionaire Club to the neo-Marxists we have infiltrating our universities, our government, the CIA, State Department, China, and the list can just go on and on and on.
And so we have high-level minds because Steve Bannon, his gift is to see way over the horizon, years out in advance.
And I have loved learning from him over the years.
And so we're doing our best to fill in his huge gifts that he's given to the American people on this show.
So please spread this platform.
And then second, it's very interesting.
I heard the Biden spokesperson speaking at the press club over this weekend.
And he said, you know, thanks to President Biden, all of these NATO countries, these European countries are paying their fair share now.
I mean, it's just too much to bear.
And the New York Times and the WaPo and Foreign Policy magazine.
They, when questioned, they have to admit President Trump was behind all of that, right?
And at the time, he stood up.
I was amazed to watch him, right?
I mean, I was a liberal arts professor for 20 years, so not on the world stage talking to all the, you know, 30 NATO members.
President Trump turns around to all of them and says, you're ripping us off.
The United States is not going to be ripped off anymore.
Right, so President Trump is the one who turned all of that around.
NATO's stepping up to the plate somewhat.
It's not coordinated.
Right now, all of NATO's firepower is coordinated on Ukraine, of all things, where we pulled off a coup d'etat and where they came to the table, Putin did in 22, with a peace deal.
And the US, the United States of America said no to that peace deal.
So we got a lot of folks lined up, and then I'll just finish with one concluding remark on this NATO piece.
All the global leaders are, you know, against, they don't want Trump coming back and they, you know, whatever.
Well, gee, I wonder why.
We've got China money going into Biden family member accounts, according to Congressman Scott Perry.
We don't go off on tangents on this show.
We only follow the receipts, the evidence.
And so today is going to be all about evidence.
Why do the world leaders not want President Trump coming back?
Because he's the one and they know he's the one that said you're going to pay your own freight.
You're going to you're going to set up your own security and defense systems and you're going to protect Europe.
We've got a bigger fish to fry and that is called China.
And everybody knows this.
So this morning we have Nur Bin Laden in to connect all these dots.
She's one of the high-level minds that has been a war room regular.
Noor, please explain, give us your commentary on what these NATO meetings mean, and who are these globalist elitists behind the scenes?
And thanks for joining us on the show again.
noor bin laden
Thank you very much for having me.
The first thing I'd like to say to some of the points you just made, you're absolutely right.
President Trump and they hate America first and they hate the MAGA movement.
Why?
Because we are asking the very important question, which is why is the US and NATO in the first place to begin with?
Why is the US and NATO?
And, you know, as a true America firster who loves your country and who knows the history of your country, I would just like, you know, to remind the audience that it was George Washington who had warned the American people, telling them to be wary of entangling alliances.
And if NATO is not an entangling alliance, then I don't know what it is.
And for a very long time, the U.S.
managed to stand by Washington's isolationist doctrine, and it will have taken the globalists to World Wars, false flag events to involve the U.S.
and get them to abandon their isolationist foreign policy.
And, you know, fast forward to this week with NATO celebrating its 75th anniversary in the nation's capital.
And I just like to say, you know, I think that Washington would be rolling in his grave at the sight of Biden giving Jen Stoltenberg a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service as NATO Secretary General for his tenure at NATO.
And this is really the core of what we need to be looking at when we're discussing current events.
Today is day two of that summit in Washington, as I just mentioned.
And what is coming out is very much against the interests of America, against the interests of the American people with, you know, Biden pledging to give Ukraine further aid in the form of air defense systems.
They're also discussing further packages for Ukraine and again, once more discussing Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.
dave brat
Yeah, thanks.
No, I think you asked the right question.
Why are we in NATO?
It seems like NATO is leading us into war right now, not leading us toward peace.
And we just have to keep going back to that.
John Mearsheimer years ago in 08 and 14 gave us counsel.
Don't poke the bear.
Right, Ukraine is a buffer zone for Russia and now they're playing the golden rule with us.
We're poking their buffer zone and now they're sending submarines and fleets over into our Caribbean and That's what this intervention has gotten us.
And so it's obvious the elites have something going on, right?
Steve Bannon has always said there's a lot of money and a lot of criminal activity going on in Ukraine, right?
So they're using that as a cash facility.
All these billions that go over there, the elites are getting their hands on some of those billions.
BlackRock and etc.
are lining up the folks to reconstruct Europe.
Give us what you can on that, Noor.
noor bin laden
Listen, NATO was set up to be this globalist military arm.
And I find it really interesting when you look at World War Two and the immediate aftermath and actually towards the end of the war, you know, the discussions that were taking place at the time.
You know, this is the 75th anniversary of NATO, but they were having discussions prior, secret discussions, you know, even according to NATO's own website, it actually says that secret talks began in 1948 between British, Canadian and American officials.
But what is interesting that I'd like to draw the attention of the Posse to is that In the treaty, in NATO's treaty, in the preamble, in the very first sentence.
It states that, and I will read this right now, it states, the parties to this treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
And so you cannot dissociate NATO from the United Nations.
And to that point, you also have to look at Winston Churchill and what he was saying in that period of time.
And he also had a quote, That he said in one of his speeches, I think it's one of his famous speeches called the Sunnis of Peace.
He said, the United Nations organization must immediately begin to be equipped with an international armed force.
And that armed force is NATO and the first Secretary General of NATO, who was also the Secretary of State for foreign, sorry, we're coming up to a break.
dave brat
Yep, coming up to a break, right back with Norman Laden.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Back in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon, our guest, Noor Bin Laden.
Nur was giving us an overview of views of NATO from an America First perspective.
Nur, I'll cut you off mid-sentence.
Keep going.
I know you're in the middle of a thought.
noor bin laden
Thank you.
Yes, the point I wanted to make is that NATO's first Secretary General, Lord Hastings Ismay, said something very important, and I'm quoting him right now.
He said that the stated goal of NATO was to keep Russians out, the Americans in, and Germany down.
And if you look at the state of the world currently, 75 years later, it seems clear that the goal Hasn't changed.
And so the question I also want to leave the posse today is to think about why the United States after World War Two became the watchdog of the world.
We went from Pax Britannica to Pax Americana.
And this is a point that President Trump himself brought up in an interview with Sean Hannity a couple of years ago.
And so, yes, we went from, as I was mentioning earlier, from Washington's doctrine of isolationism to Truman's doctrine of containment, or, you know, I would say interventionism.
And just to wrap it all up, you know, we need to stay strong.
Why they are so forceful in their attacks of America First, of President Trump.
of MAGA is because patriots want out.
They want out of NATO.
They want out of the UN.
They want out of the wars.
And rightly so.
And this is what I keep saying, you know, make America independent again and get out of all these institutions that cause so much damage and detriment also to the American people, not to mention abroad.
But the American people are being siphoned of their taxpayer dollars to fund these never ending wars.
And the United States is made to shoulder this for reasons we really need to be asking ourselves.
dave brat
Yeah, great analysis as always.
Noor, thanks for being on The War Room with us today.
I'm from Minnesota, up in Minnesota in the Midwest, we got this phrase called Minnesota nice, right?
And so there's been some analysis that us Madisonians have been a bit gullible, right?
The belief that we have a separation of powers and that there's checks and balances all over the place.
And that the administrative state and the deep state used to be considered, you know, conspiracy theories.
There's a new book out by Givens, I think.
It's called National Security and the Double Government.
And he contrasts the Madisonians with the Trumanites and the creation of all the three-letter agencies.
And so now we're going to pivot over to one of our friends, former CIA Director Sam Faddis, who was with the CIA and he knows the connective tissue
that connects all the globalists and elitists, etc.
It's not our contention that America should be isolationist.
That's not the point we're making.
And I didn't mean to go down that road at all.
The world wants us to be strong.
We're a Judeo-Christian nation still.
We're morally good people, but the people are not allowed to speak.
There are some times in our history where you face adversity like Hitler, and the American people always come through and do the right thing, because they've got a good heart and they follow God.
And so, Sam Faddis, why don't you walk this tightrope about what does it mean to be America first?
What are our true geopolitical threats that we should really be looking at?
Sam Faddis, thanks for being with us.
sam faddis
Thank you for having me, sir.
Look, nobody's talking about being isolationist here.
Nobody's talking about retreating behind the oceans or any of this silliness.
unidentified
Right.
sam faddis
That's verbiage that gets thrown at you because, you know, it's a counter argument.
Look, what we're talking about is America first.
Let's just start with that's the principle.
What?
How does any particular policy benefit the United States of America?
Where are we going with this?
What are the implications?
And I don't mean benefits the United States of America in the sense of it's really good for the stock price of Raytheon.
I mean for the people who are the ones who are sending their sons and daughters to die and be maimed in these conflicts.
So... NATO.
We started NATO as a defensive alliance when the line of conflict, if you will, or confrontation ran through the middle of Germany, right?
Okay.
And the whole goal was, can we keep the Russians from rolling into Paris in about 48 hours?
I think at that time, as conceived, that made sense.
It was in our interest.
Okay.
That doesn't mean that this endless expansion of NATO Uh, is is serving our interests.
I mean, that line of all the Warsaw Pact powers that used to be aligned with the Soviet Union are in NATO right now, right?
And we've got the line of confrontation, if you will, is the Polish border and their polls want us to put a tank division in a base that they call they want to call for Trump on their border with Russia.
Okay, now that's I'm all for the Polish people.
I understand their motivation.
How is that in our interest?
And I have no sympathy for Vladimir Putin.
He's a thug and he's a relic of the old Soviet Union.
But I don't care who you are.
If anybody who was in power in Moscow watching NATO get bigger and stronger and come closer and closer and closer to your capital city, it wouldn't have to be Vladimir Putin.
Any Russian leader would react to that The same way we would react to the idea of Russian tank divisions lined up on the border with Mexico, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
sam faddis
So we could see, we had a talk about the Ukraine conflict.
Okay.
Well, you could see this train wreck coming years and years in advance.
The Russians about every five minutes said, knock it off, stop coming closer.
And we kept pushing and pushing and pushing again.
I am not an apologist for Putin.
But we could see what the inevitable consequence is going to be.
We are going to cause a war, which we did.
And now we get helpful suggestions from U.S.
senators who say brilliant things like, we're killing Russians, and that's somehow good.
And we're just going to keep pouring in weapons and making everybody on the board of directors at Raytheon and Lockheed deliriously happy.
Total absence of a strategic goal that benefits the American people.
dave brat
Yeah, and I hate to get, you know, crassly political, but these things are tied together.
The Biden moment in the speech the other day, and the mainstream press, you know, innocence gushing.
Oh, we had no idea of this, right?
It's analogous to Ukraine.
Everybody has known, you've called it for years on the war room.
Bannon has known all of it way ahead of time.
It's over.
Before it even started, it's over, right?
Just in real politic, whoever's got more tanks wins.
And so if the U.S.
enters fully, it's a different story, but we're not going to do that and Europe's not going to do it either.
So it's already over.
So that brings us back to the initial question.
Why are we doing this?
There's some special, powerful interests out there to pull this off, right?
A moral monstrosity in terms of the lives lost.
There's someone's cooking the books big time.
Can you point us to what those forces might be, Sam?
sam faddis
Well, I think, as usual, it's kind of a witch's brew of different factors here, right?
I mean, you've got... Look, I'm all for having a defense industrial base.
If we end up in a war that we need to be in, we're going to want somebody to make tanks and airplanes.
What I'm not for is defense contractors driving policy, right?
I mean, at this point, Raytheon will build you a base on the dark side of the moon if you give them enough money.
as will Lockheed and everybody else.
So there are people like that that are making insane quantities of money.
Then you've got the neocons floating around still.
This boggles my mind.
Again, these are all guys who've never been to war, never heard a shot fired in anger, because the first prerequisite for wanting to go to war is that you've never been to one and you don't plan on showing up yourself.
And by the way, you're not sending your kids either.
These guys are all about flexing muscles and machoism and expanding power and talking in terms of empire and control and all of this garbage.
I think you put your finger on something very important in some of your remarks a few minutes ago.
You know, the struggle in this country right now is between the American people and these interests.
That's what's really going on.
I mean, the guys on the left don't want to put it in those terms.
They still want to claim that they're a Democratic Party of the working man.
That's obviously garbage.
I mean, the real struggle in this country is between the 99% of the American people who actually fight the wars and pay the taxes and do the work, and this tiny fraction of individuals Many of whom honestly don't even think of themselves as Americans anymore.
They have this weird globalist kind of mindset.
And those guys think they get to run the world.
I mean, Donald Trump, when he talks about Ukraine, it seems to me just hammers the point like dead on.
This thing should be negotiated and resolved.
It should have been years ago.
And honestly, it ain't that hard.
I mean, talk to Zelensky.
Hey, buddy, the only reason the Russians aren't in Kiev is because we bankroll the whole thing.
So you will either negotiate or figure out how to fight the war on your own.
Are we done now?
And with Putin, we can do this all day, buddy, because it's costing us cash and it's costing you.
You're bleeding to death as a country.
Now, so can we get together and sit down at a table and hammer out an agreement, know the Ukrainians are not going to get back every square mile of territory they lost, that's obvious, and know the Russians aren't going to occupy Kiev and turn it into a client state?
Done?
Now we can start worrying about, I don't know, the Chinese Communist Party that's busy taking over the world, right?
They're the real threat while we're messing with what's left of the old Soviet Union.
dave brat
Yeah, Sam Faddis on The War Room.
We're going to go to break in about 30 seconds, but we're going to return on that China issue, right?
As I said prior, my congressman friend Scott Perry from Pennsylvania has checks from China going to members of the Biden family.
We went through the Burisma fiasco.
We went through Russiagate fiasco.
The worst thing we could have done is shoved Russia into the arms of China.
And so, you know, Stephen K. Bannon has been all over the connective tissue here with Sam Faddis, former CIA operative.
We could have no one better on the war room sitting in.
And before we go to break, I just want to give a special call out To all the team.
You know, Dr. Gina was in here prior setting it up.
The Rob and Parker Sig.
I do tremendous work behind the scenes.
Denver, I can't name them all.
The folks that help us produce.
Grace, Moe, Cameron, etc.
Just a pleasure to be and an honor to be on this show.
Stay tuned to The War Room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
dave brat
Back in the war room, Stephen K. Bannon, rejoining with our guest, former CIA operative Sam Faddis,
who's led us across analysis of Ukraine, NATO.
The absolute waste of resources being aimed at the wrong targets.
He just brought up China.
And so, Sam, why don't you redirect us to where U.S.
foreign policy and military strategy should be aimed at this point in our portfolio.
Thank you, Sam.
sam faddis
Right.
So we're obsessing.
I don't mean you and I are obsessing, but we've got forces in the United States that are obsessing all the time about Russia, right?
Yeah.
A rump state, what's left of the Soviet Union.
I'm not dismissing Putin again.
I'm no friend of his.
Should we watch them?
Yes.
They do not begin to compare at this point in history to the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Again, to be clear, not talking about the Chinese people because they're the ones that wake up every day, a billion of them in a prison camp.
But the Chinese Communist Party, which is an evil, thuggish, criminal, totalitarian thing, and it is bent on world domination, is building up its military at an unbelievable rate, expanding its nuclear arsenal.
By the way, buying Huge numbers of people in what they would call the elite in the United States, including potentially the guy sitting in the Oval Office, who's taken millions and millions of dollars.
I mean, this is a dagger at the heart of the United States.
And they're prepared, let's just grab a hold of a piece of this, Taiwan.
They have in place the forces, the ships and the aircraft around that island every day to impose a complete air and sea blockade.
Essentially, all they have to do is come up on the radio and announce that the blockade is in place, because they have the ships and the aircraft.
Okay, once that happens, no commercial oil tanker is running a blockade, right?
And no commercial airliner filled with people is trying to whiz past fighter jets.
As soon as it's announced, it's done.
Okay, we're, you know, talking America's national interest?
Well, at this point in history, we don't have an option for walking away from Taiwan.
Because our entire economy is based on chips and all of the high-end, essentially every high-end chip used in the world economy comes out of Taiwan.
Now that shouldn't be the case and maybe if somebody was bothering to do some strategic thinking we could change that.
It doesn't change the fact that right now that's true.
All the studies show if you blockade Taiwan, and this is just one tiny piece, blockade Taiwan you're gonna crash the world economy.
I'm talking making the Great Depression look like a picnic.
Now, that's kind of one hell of a lot more central to the interests of the American people than whether the Ukrainians and the Russians are fighting over exactly where their border is out in the middle of Eurasia.
dave brat
Yeah, let me let me interrupt you right there, Sam, because one of the things about America First and the populist movement, which has drawn a lot of Democrats and independents and black and Hispanic and blue collar workers to us, is just the simplicity of the message you're just preaching right there.
Right.
You know who I want making some of these decisions?
The first hundred people in the phone book.
Right?
If you gave them the basic analysis of, here's what we got in Taiwan, here's what we got in Russia, here's what we got in the Ukraine, those hundred people would do a better job than all these PhD people.
And so the war room, I can tell, I'm going to get all sorts of incoming based on your, everyone gets lit up, but rightfully so.
How can this be, Dave?
So how can this be, Sam, what you just said?
That the first hundred people in the phone book could do a better job running our strategy And maybe that's why President Trump will be back running our strategy, because the American people want that.
But how can all these elites be so wrong?
sam faddis
Well, again, I'm a big believer in the fact that there are often a variety of interests, and so it's not one single thing.
But let's grab a hold of one single thing.
We climbed in bed with the Chinese economically decades ago.
Maybe the single worst strategic decision the United States ever made gutted our manufacturing base Has the American people haven't benefited unless you really love to buy cheap plastic junk that it hasn't been to their benefit a Handful of people at the very top like the guys who run Amazon and things like that Have more money than anybody's ever had in the history of the world And all because they have climbed in bed with an evil totalitarian regime that runs slave labor camps, that engages in organ harvesting.
We could go through this parade of horrors forever, right?
They don't want to confront China because they're getting filthy rich.
Then we get to the part where, look, Chinese intelligence is very active in this country.
They engage in what's called elite capture, which is basically buying powerful people.
That's not Sam's theory.
Go on the FBI website.
You can read it on class in broad daylight that they describe this threat.
So in addition to just you kind of know which side of the bread, you know, which side your bread is buttered on, The Chinese actually actively buy people.
Everybody wants to talk about Eric Swalwell, the congressman in Fang Fang or Ling Ling or whatever the name of the Chinese intel officer was that was sleeping with him.
Okay, guys, I mean, okay, that sounds terrible.
How many Eric Swalwells do you think there are?
Because there's a heck of a lot more than one of them that took Chinese money and now do what Beijing tells them to.
dave brat
Yeah, Sam, in closing, give us another minute or two.
We've just begun to scratch the surface here.
Thanks so much for coming in.
But the global architecture now involves Iran, the Middle East, all sorts of other hotspots.
How do you prioritize and think about the rest of the world?
sam faddis
Look, the Iranians either have functioning nuclear weapons or they are so close to having functioning nuclear weapons that the difference is immaterial.
Like, we can't stop them.
So they are a nuclear power.
These are guys who believe in the end of the world and want to bring it on.
I'm talking the Ayatollahs.
They actually want their version of the Armageddon.
So, you know, that's in the intel business what we would call a bad thing when guys who want to end the world have nuclear weapons.
We got no border.
We've got every terrorist group in the world, presumably, roaming the United States right now.
It's a parade of horrors, and this administration, I mean, you can take your pick.
They are either the most incompetent administration in American history, or you can entertain an even more chilling thought, which is that some of this is deliberate, that it's malfeasance, not negligence.
dave brat
Yep, spot on.
Any closing remarks you want to make, Sam, and leave us with your coordinates?
How do people follow you?
And what should the War Room Posse be reading?
They love when you come on.
They love the comment.
They love learning.
I love learning from you.
What should we be reading?
What are your coordinates?
sam faddis
Easiest way to find me is to go to our magazine on Substack, which is andmagazine.substack.com.
Everything we, in terms of other material, everything we write at Ann Magazine has links embedded in all of our source material.
So we're not just throwing out ideas and then take it on faith.
No.
From there you can do your own research.
And I guess the last thing I would say is free Steve Bannon.
Put him back on the street and end this travesty.
dave brat
Yeah, I'm going to do a little rip on economics right now, but I want you to, you know, it's stunning to me how the S&P is at all-time highs, right, the stock markets are flying, the real economy's not good, productivity's bad, but we printed $9 trillion on the Federal Reserve balance sheet, we're $2 trillion deficit, so of course we're growing.
The government is growing.
And so all of this risk and now all the geopolitical hotspots you've just painted, and yet the
smartest guys in the room, right, the CEO, the Fortune 500 CEOs, they're all in China
still.
What do you make of that?
They have fiduciary responsibility to their stockholders.
What would you tell them if you're in a boardroom with them?
What should they be doing to wean themselves off of China before it's too late and there's a calamity for them, their firms, but more importantly for the American people that own all this stuff?
sam faddis
Well, I would tell them you better get the hell out because Donald Trump is coming to the White House.
And you're going to see a sea change.
And we're not going to cut our ties to China overnight.
But we are going to start steering away.
So this this is over.
Unfortunately what you see is what you keep alluding to.
These guys who think they run the country who have all the money.
...are getting filthy rich off practices that are not good for the American people.
I live in Pennsylvania.
Everywhere you go, it's an old factory town and the plant is closed and everybody's shopping at the dollar store if they got any money to do that and figuring out if they can fill up their pickup truck.
This is a disaster for them, for the vast majority of the American people.
But not the guys at the top.
And by the way, take a look at where the richest counties are in the United States.
Overwhelmingly, they are all clustered around Washington, D.C.
dave brat
Yep.
sam faddis
Because that's where all the money has gone to the government, not industry.
dave brat
Yep.
Sam Faddis, thank you for serving our country.
Thanks for being a patriot.
God bless you and your work.
Everybody look up Sam, follow him and share it with your Americans and the American people.
We need to know this stuff.
And so you've just heard the geopolitical risks, the economic risks we've been covering on The War Room for years.
So now it's the time.
Go check out Birch Gold.
I know them personally.
We don't give financial advice on The War Room, but gold has always been a hedge against uncertainty and risk.
And so talk to them, see what's right for you and your portfolio.
That all depends on your age and your risk appetite and all that kind of thing.
It's a personal decision.
But go check out Birch Gold.
The rest of the world is.
The rest of the world is buying gold.
We've been covering on the show with the With the U.S.
currency crisis, etc., you lost 20% of your purchasing power by holding dollars.
So go take a look and read up on all the literature they'll send you.
It's a good thing to do.
And then one of our other sponsors, right, there it is, The Dollar Empire by Birch Gold.
They'll send you all that for free.
Many of those are written by Stephen K. Bannon, co-authored, etc.
And Denver, let me know if Lara Logan is on.
We can jump to her.
Laura Logan is in the house.
Laura, as usual, a former news national figure of great fame with 60 Minutes for her work out in the battlefield.
She's been around the world.
She's got a heart of gold.
She's a Christian prophet.
We've had her to speak several times and she's just got a heart that always seeks to do what Jesus said, which is to help the poorest, the least amongst us.
And when it comes to the rest of the world and the United States right now, these little kids that are being human trafficked, right?
You've all seen the films.
It's grotesque.
And so Laura's with us.
She's got some bombshells about the complicity of the U.S.
government, some whistleblowers.
unidentified
Yes.
dave brat
And so, Laura, why don't you start off there and then we'll keep you on for some maybe global analysis as well.
Laura Logan, thank you for being in the War Room.
lara logan
Thank you for having me, Dave.
Yes, I was on Capitol Hill yesterday in the Senate with a number of whistleblowers, Tara Rodas, Deborah White, and there was an extraordinary woman from Florida, Secretary Siobhan Harris was there as well, and they were testifying on The extensive evidence that they uncovered.
These are people will Tara and Deborah are two people who volunteered to assist the Biden administration early on when they put out an old call for help across the US government and what they discovered when they were down there.
These are you know, Two women who have worked in the U.S.
government for many, many years.
Tara Rodis in the Inspector General's office.
This is a woman who is very precise in what she does.
I mean, government oversight is her job, right?
Has been for more than 18 years.
dave brat
So she knows what she's doing.
You've teed it up.
We're going into a break.
And so there you have it.
It's teed up, ready to roll.
Lara Logan back on the other side of the break on the complicity of the U.S.
government with whistleblowers, with credentials that have some horrific, shocking news.
Stay tuned to The War Room with Lara Logan.
We've worked together in the past.
She is well acquainted with a lot of Africa suffering Christian persecution.
She's been going to the hot spots where The human heart just cries out to help people and so now she's framing up one of the most devastating issues in the United States.
It's unbelievable.
It can happen here.
And so I'll hand it over.
Lara, please continue where you left off.
Thank you for being with us.
lara logan
Thank you, David.
What we've learned from these whistleblowers from the federal government, all of whom volunteered to help the Biden administration down at the southern border, is that when they discovered in the course of their work that children were being trafficked, that unaccompanied minors who were being brought across the border, let's not forget, right, President Obama passed, he created this program so that Families could be reunited.
That unaccompanied minors could come to the United States and be reunited with their parents.
Well, that is not what is happening.
I think most Americans, doesn't matter whether you're Democrat or Republican, will be devastated to know that their tax dollars are paying for many of these children, countless children, to be trafficked by the federal government.
And what do these whistleblowers mean when they say that?
Well, they're talking about finding that 200, 300, 400, 500 children are going to one address in Houston, Texas, right?
Or that you find you've got two kids, a brother and a sister, that are going to a guy that they say... This is the first case that one of the whistleblowers, Deborah White, came across.
She saw red flags.
He has a brother and a sister.
And what does she find?
They have different stories.
And so they separate the kids, they speak to them separately, and what do they learn?
Basically, this boy ends up in psychiatric care because he's so terrified that they're taking too long to get to the sponsor because the cartel has told him what they're going to do to his father back home in Guatemala.
So this raises the question, why are we bringing children to the United States Most of them, by the way, from Guatemala, who are coming with a piece of paper where the cartel has written the name of the sponsor.
That's being handed over to Border Patrol, and they're handing it over to Health and Human Services, and these sponsors are not being properly vetted.
Now, what the Department of Health and Human Services has done under Secretary Becerra is absolutely unforgivable.
And in fact, unthinkable, or in the words of one of the whistleblowers, Tara Rodis, just unimaginable.
She wouldn't have believed this if she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, right?
And what they have done is they've removed most of the vetting for the sponsors, and they have published a rule change.
More than 70,000 members of the public objected to this rule change because it codifies and legalizes the trafficking of kids by the United States government, paid for with taxpayer money.
And they don't want that.
dave brat
Say that again.
Say that again.
Larry, go back and say that again.
lara logan
The Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Becerra has published and
codified a rule change to the unaccompanied minor program that legalizes the practice
of child trafficking by the United States government paid for with your tax dollars.
And right now there is an effort by these whistleblowers working with seven different
senators.
It's a pity there aren't more of them, right?
From both sides of the aisle.
And they're working with them to have this rule change overturned.
The mechanism by which to do that is known as the Congressional Review Act, the CRA.
And so right now what they're doing is they're America's Future, which is General Michael
Flynn's foundation run by his sister, Mary Flynn.
I'm on the board of that foundation.
That's why I'm involved in this.
They are calling on Congress to use the Congressional Review Act to overturn this rule that nobody wants.
This is a devastating rule.
What it does as well, Dave, it removes law enforcement from the equation.
So if you're a federal employee and you are a caseworker, for example, you've got a kid that just crossed the border illegally.
They've been raped so many times.
That 12-year-old boy in diapers, because he's been raped so many times, that's an actual case that Tara Rhodes dealt with.
And you can now no longer call law enforcement to assist with this child and try to get justice because they've created an ombudsman position.
You have to go through that bureaucracy in the Department of Health and Human Services.
There's no external oversight.
And now they have also, in this rule change, published multiple ways to target and punish anyone who tries to blow the whistle.
So they're subverting Congress' authority to make laws, and they also are completely undermining the extensive whistleblower protections that exist in U.S.
law, because we know how important it is to hold government accountable.
So this is a terrible rule change, and the only chance that the people of the United States, we the people have, of overturning this, is to get every member of Congress, call your member of Congress, call your state senators, call your, you know, do, speak up, don't let this happen.
You can go to America's Future's website, I think it's americasfuture.net, and look up vote yay for the CRA.
Okay, this is stop the shame, vote yay for the CRA.
I don't normally you know, get involved in calls to action. That is America's
future's call to action.
But since I'm on the board, I am partly responsible for this. And all I can tell you is that to all
the political operatives and to the journalists who are out there who are writing hit pieces about
Michael Flynn and his family and his and this organization, you should shame on you. Shame on
You are horrible, horrible people.
Because what you're not doing is you're not doing stories about the hundreds of thousands of children, some of them babies, that are coming over the southern border, 70% of them from Guatemala.
Look at what the leaders of Guatemala, the president of Guatemala, what he has said about this.
Why are you taking our children?
Their parents and families are not in the United States a lot of the time.
They are right here in Guatemala.
And the other big thing that has been exposed by these whistleblowers is that people who are on the watch list for organized crime, for the most violent, hardened criminal cartels, multinational, transnational criminal organizations, people who are on the watch list for those organizations are sponsoring kids.
And no child should be going to a violent criminal.
No child should be trafficked into an organized criminal network.
And Dave, I just want to say this one thing.
For people, you know, we use words like trafficking.
We throw these words around and they start to mean nothing after a while.
Let's be honest what we're talking about.
We are talking about the rape, the daily rape and torture of children.
I was raped as many people know.
I was gang raped in Egypt on assignment for 60 minutes.
I was sodomized and beaten almost to death.
I only had to endure that misery and that hell for about 40 minutes of my life.
I cannot begin to imagine What it would be like to be a child, two, three, four, five years old, 15 years old, and to know that every day you thought you were coming to America for the American dream.
American taxpayers, people of both sides of the aisle, believe that that's what's happening to you.
You know, that's why you're here.
And what you find is an American nightmare, literally an American nightmare, where you live and have every single moment of your life.
dave brat
Yep, Laura, we're going to break.
We'll come back to get your coordinates.
How do people get you?
To get your specific call for action, who should the War Room and all of America call?
And give us the receipts one more time.
Who's the leading senator on this so everybody can fact check and know you're telling God's gospel truth on behalf of these kids who the United States, this cannot happen in the United States.
It's morally reprehensible.
