I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | |

War Room, here's your host Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room with Mark Palettahit. | ||
| Mark, can you just sort of finish off what you're saying here? | ||
| Does Mayorkas have the constitutional authority to prevent the director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle? | ||
| Does he have the discretion to tell her not to obey a congressional subpoena? | ||
| No, and there's a lot of news moving around as to what's going on here. | ||
| We need answers from the Secret Service Director. | ||
| They dropped the ball, and everything we hear from them gets more and more disturbing in terms of certainly their incompetence. | ||
| There's been some reports that Mayorkas, who's the head of DHS, is telling her not to testify, ordering her not to testify. | ||
| He doesn't have that authority. | ||
| The only person who could direct an executive branch employee official to not testify is the President of the United States, invoking executive privilege. | ||
| She's been subpoenaed, as I understand it, and so she's required to show up before Congress. | ||
| And unless the President directs her not to answer a question, And she needs to answer the questions, you know, both legally and I just think morally, and for the American people to explain what they know right now, because it's very disturbing how unprepared, how much they drop the ball on Saturday. | ||
| If they dropped the ball. | ||
| My standing presumption is that there's too much on this to assume good faith, too much incompetence, too many mistakes, too many coincidences to assume good faith and just dismiss this as incompetence. | ||
| You would think that this administration would be au fait with obeying or not obeying a congressional subpoena, right? | ||
| The reason I'm in Rome, I'm not in Washington, but the reason Stephen K. Bannon is in jail right now is because he refused to obey an invalid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Issued by an invalidly constituted committee. | ||
| And where's Merrick Garland coming out against Mayorkas, coming out against Kimberly Cheadle, saying no one is above the law? | ||
| I haven't seen him. | ||
| Have you, Mark Palletter? | ||
| Where is he? | ||
| No one is above the law. | ||
| No one is above the law discourse today. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| And just generally, this administration, I think, is the least transparent administration in history. | ||
| This is the Democrats talking. | ||
| They like to talk about democracy. | ||
| They like to talk about transparency. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| They stiff-arm Congress nonstop. | ||
| They don't turn documents over. | ||
| They don't show up for briefings. | ||
| They don't do Any of those things in terms of the back and forth of the, you know, of congressional oversight over the executive branch. | ||
| You're seeing it right now. | ||
| And you saw the frustration, right, of these, I think it was five members, right, five senators at the at the convention, seeing Chito at this, you know, this luxury box, thanking members and hanging out and having a good time and not being willing to answer questions from Congress, from these senators. | ||
| On a call, I think, earlier that day. | ||
| So it shows the arrogance and the lack of transparency that this Biden administration has towards everyone, quite frankly. | ||
| Yeah, I would like to see GOP issuing subpoenas and drilling down on this with the same degree of fanaticism that the invalidly constituted J6 committee tried to drill down against a largely peaceful protest. | ||
| But we're probably not going to get that because the GOP are professional performance artists. | ||
| They will issue some strongly worded press releases. | ||
| They will go through the motions. | ||
| But, you know, I would actually I would not be surprised I would not be surprised if there are some sitting Republican congressmen, some sitting Republican senators that saw the events of Saturday unfold and were left disappointed at the end of it. | ||
| So to look to these people, I think, to drill down on this is going to be a hope that ends in delusion, fundamentally. | ||
| But there is so much that went wrong on that. | ||
| I would like to see a subpoena for every single incident that went wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Something doesn't add up. | |
| So I spent 10 years on Capitol Hill as a Chief Oversight Counsel. | ||
| Okay, so there are good people up there. | ||
| You know, I think Jim Jordan's a great chairman and a great oversight guy. | ||
| You have to understand that if he issues a subpoena, right, and wants to hold somebody in contempt, where does that contempt go? | ||
| It goes to the Department of Justice. | ||
| Okay, which is not going to do anything as we've seen what we saw that the double standard right with respect to Steve | ||
| Bannon and others, Peter Navarro, is that when you have an opposite party person in charge of the Department of | ||
| Justice, they will move fast. | ||
| So what I say to that is, is that, you know, here are the alternatives. | ||
| You try and get criminal contempt, if somebody's not listening to you, it's going to go to the Department of Justice. | ||
| It will die. | ||
| They will do nothing. | ||
| Or you can go to court, right, which will take two or three years, all right, to enforce a subpoena. | ||
| So it is tougher than, you know, it's a tough job. | ||
| I think they've been pushing hard on it. | ||
| But the way the government is constructed right now, it's very difficult. | ||
| I will tell you, right, that when President Trump gets reelected and there are Republican Congress is, you know, hopefully House and Senate are running things. | ||
| When they do subpoena people then and they don't obey, that gets referred to who? | ||
| The Trump Justice Department, right? | ||
| To enforce a subpoena, to criminally enforce a subpoena. | ||
| So there's going to be a different dynamic in terms of getting information. | ||
| That's why November is also so important for truth finding and accountability. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You will have the stars aligned in terms of accountability right now. | ||
| It's very, very difficult. | ||
| OK. | ||
| And I we can we can talk more on this topic. | ||
| But but but it's a very difficult. | ||
| environment for the Congress to be able to get answers legally in terms of their subpoenas. | ||
| They can issue subpoenas. | ||
| They've issued tons of subpoenas. | ||
| When the administration or individuals blow them off and don't comply, your hammer is | ||
| to go to the Department of Justice and say, enforce this, as they did with Steve Bannon. | ||
| But with respect to, and they don't do it with anyone else, that's why it was a two-tiered system of going after Steve Bannon. | ||
| But when November comes and a Republican House and Senate and President are elected, I think you're going to see some ability to get accountability because of the way it'll play out. | ||
| The way the levers and the agencies and the government entities will be able to act on those things and will act on those things. | ||
| Outstanding, Mark Peretta. | ||
| Absolutely outstanding analysis. | ||
| I couldn't agree with you more. | ||
| If you want to see, folks, if you want to get to the bottom of what happened last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, if you really want to get to the bottom, there's only one way you're going to do that. | ||
| And that's by handing over this weaponized DOJ into the Trump administration's hands. | ||
| And then the Republicans can do with this weaponized DOJ exactly what the Democrats have been doing. | ||
| And I can't wait for that day to come. | ||
| Mark Peter, how can folks keep up with your analysis, especially with regard to the Supreme Court generally, but where can they go to find out your commentary on day-to-day events? | ||
| Thanks, Ben. | ||
| I'm at Mark Paoletta. | ||
| I'm on X. And then my website is markpaoletta.com, where I write on the Supreme Court in particular and defending Justice Thomas, defending the attacks on the court. | ||
| Just also, we put up a paper. | ||
| I'm with the Center for Renewing America. | ||
| We just did a 25-page paper on the Impoundment Control Act and how President Trump and an X administration should impound lots of funds. | ||
| That's his constitutional authority. | ||
| In the 70s, Congress passed this law. | ||
| That made it illegal for the President to impound funds. | ||
| And Russ Vogt and I just came out with a paper, and I have some op-eds up on there, saying in terms of getting control of spending and out of control programs like DEI, like foreign aid, like funding foreign or international organizations, the President using his inherent power to impound funds is up on this website for you to read. | ||
| Mark Peart, thanks very much. | ||
| We'll catch up with you hopefully tomorrow. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Thanks for coming on the show today. | ||
| Thanks, Ben. | ||
| Now, folks, you've been listening as we've been discussing what sort of suggestions, question marks over what has been going on. | ||
| I'd like to go to Germany now, if I may, and talk with an old friend of mine, Peter Beistrand, who is a member of the German parliament for the Alternative für Deutschland. | ||
| Peter, please forgive my German pronunciation. | ||
| Now, your home, you were telling me the other day that your home has now been turned upside Like the 15th or 16th time by the German security services, simply because the authorities don't like what you have to say. | ||
| You're a German patriot, right? | ||
| You're a member of parliament for the AFD. | ||
| And yet you are being persecuted by the security services. | ||
| And I will draw some parallels, I think, between what you're saying now and the situation in America after you spoke. | ||
| Peter, welcome onto the show. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. | ||
| Can you tell us a bit what happened at your home last week? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello, Benjamin, and nice regards to all to everybody who is watching the War Room and especially a nice regards to my friend Steve to prison. | |
| I hope he is going to be free soon. | ||
| Well, Benjamin, you are not up to date. | ||
| It's not 15 home searches, but already we are already at number 19. | ||
| So you see the German police is very active. | ||
| Um, they tried, uh, first day with eight home searches. | ||
| They recognized that they have found nothing. | ||
| So they invited with four more. | ||
| Um, they searched friends of my friends, people I never met. | ||
| And afterwards, when they discovered second time that they have found nothing, they just search even my property, my flats, which I am renting since years where, uh, our people living, I met just two years ago, just for signing the contract. | ||
| And the most horrible thing, they search even the hospital room where my old mother is now hospitalized. | ||
| This is a pure terror, pure terror. | ||
| It has nothing to do with investigation. | ||
| It's just terror. | ||
| And you know, this is a part of This is a part of how the government is handling the opposition in Germany. | ||
| It's not just about me. | ||
| This is happening to many, many people in Germany. | ||
| When you say the opposition, let's be clear, they're not doing this to the CDU. | ||
| They're doing this to the AfD, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the CDU is just on paper opposition, but they are the same globalist club like all the other parties. | |
| But when I say opposition, I mean even opposition which is not in Parliament. | ||
| For example, the head of the demonstration against Corona, Michal Balwek, was put into prison for nine months Without a trial. | ||
| Without a trial. | ||
| He was kept in prison for nine months. | ||
| And afterwards, the judge said, well, oh, we have nothing against you. | ||
| You can go. | ||
| And the same is happening to journalists. | ||
| What now happened to me, many journalists who are critical against the government, they have home searchings, they are demonetized. | ||
| It's just three days ago, a big big newspaper was closed, was stormed by police and the police took everything outside of the editorial office. | ||
| They took even the chairs and the tables. | ||
| Peter, we have a two-minute break coming up in one minute. | ||
| the first time since the Hitler, since the Second World War, that the Germany big publishing | ||
| house is closed just because they were publishing criticism against the government. | ||
| Peter, we have a two minute break coming up in one minute. | ||
| But before we go to the break, let me ask you, when the secret services come in and | ||
| basically turn your home upside down looking for whatever they claim they're looking for. | ||
| Are they armed when they come in? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They coming with the black mask with special forces. | |
| They they storming the house, you know, and they're coming always in the morning, like | ||
| half half past five in the morning when the people are sleeping. | ||
| keeping. | ||
| For example, what I told you now about the editorial halls, they stormed even the flat of the wife of the chief editor. | ||
| She was sleeping, she was naked under the blanket, and they ran into the Into the room and they asked her to come out. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| Peter, hold on. | ||
| We'll be back in two minutes. | ||
| If you're just joining us now, he was explaining how his home has been turned over 19 times by the German security services. | ||
| They come in at five o'clock, five thirty in the morning with black balaclava masks. | ||
| Now the question I asked you just before the break, Peter, because, and I'll give the reason why I asked this, a lot of people have a suspicion against the FBI in America when it raided Mar-a-Lago looking for restricted papers, confidential papers, that the FBI agents were armed and had been given permission, if necessary, to use their guns. | ||
| And there has been the suspicion made on this show that that was, back then, a few months ago, that was a potential assassination attempt. | ||
| Institutionally. | ||
| So my question to you is, when they come and turn your home over at 5.30 in the morning, are these Secret Service agents armed? | ||
| Do they have pistols? | ||
| Do they have guns on them when they do this? | ||
| And are they authorized to use them against you and or your family? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, sure, sure. | |
| We had two different police forces during the homestretchings. | ||
| One is a normal police, which is armed, and the second was a special police, and they are heavily armed. | ||
| That those are really special forces. | ||
| They are masked like this is anti-terror unit. | ||
| And, you know, because this is not the first time and this is really becoming a very usual tool against the opposition, those home searching and this terrorizing. | ||
| I some kind expected it because we had the election for European Parliament and I was the number two of our party. | ||
| And this is always before elections, stuff like this, so they can put it into the newspapers that there is some investigation against us, against the politicians. | ||
| It's the same blueprint like with Donald Trump in the US, so I don't need to tell you, you know it, you all know it. | ||
| So I expected somehow that it will happen. | ||
| And for that reason, I gave away my weapons because I am a hunter. | ||
| I have legally weapons in my home. | ||
| And the rules are for the police that if you have weapons in your home, they can shoot sharp. | ||
| Because if they have a suspicion that you are defending yourself, you are defending your house, they are armed for that purpose that they will shoot. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| I think more attention in the world needs to be given to what's happening here, because what's happening in the UK, what's happening In Germany, what's happening in the United States, it's all part of the same narrative. | ||
| It is absolutely astonishing to me, Peter, it is absolutely astonishing to me to hear a sitting Member of Parliament recount that his home has been searched by the German, by the National Secret Services 19 times. | ||
| And that as a sitting member of parliament you have fair to keep your legally owned rifles as a hunter in your home because you don't want to give the security services in Germany an excuse to shoot you. | ||
| That is absolutely astonishing because the narrative is, if you read the mainstream media, the narrative is it's the Christian Democratic Union, the Social Democratic Union, these are the bulwark Thank you. | ||
| Germany against the AFD, which is a crypto fascist, crypto neo-Nazi organization. | ||
| That's the narrative from the mainstream media. | ||
| It seems to me from what you were saying about the suppression of this newspaper, the intimidation | ||
| tactics, dangerous intimidation tactics against you personally, that I would put down in the | ||
| same way that this show put down suggested that when they did this to Donald Trump, it | ||
| It was a potential assassination scenario. | ||
| I'd say that they're doing exactly the same to you. | ||
| And the fact that you've removed your legally owned weapons from your own home indicates that you have the same sort of suspicion. | ||
| It seems to me, Peter Bystrom, that far from the mainstream parties being a bulwark against fascism and neo-Nazism in Germany, these are parties that are actually mirroring what the Nazis did in the 1930s in Germany against you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course, but you have to know one thing. | |
| The Nazis, they called themselves national socialists. | ||
| I repeat, national socialists. | ||
| So they define themselves as socialists. | ||
| There are quotes from Goebbels who said in the 20s, yes, we are a decisively left movement. | ||
| And this way of thinking, it's totalitarian. | ||
| This way of thinking, I would say, still continues in the international socialists nowadays. | ||
| And what we are experiencing, this terror against any opposition, any civic opposition, this is the same like in the 30s. | ||
| And for sure, absolutely the same what the communist Stasi and the GDR has done just 30 years ago. | ||
| So, yeah, history is repeating. | ||
| When people suggest to me, Well, they try and synthesize, because I make the same point. | ||
| And people say, so basically what you're saying is that the Soviet communists and the German Nazis are different sides of the same coin, different faces of the same coin. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| No, they're not different sides of the same coin. | ||
| They're the same side of the same coin. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's very little difference. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the left, because the media is part and parcel, is a continuum with the left. | ||
| It has been their job, as is academia, it has been their job. | ||
| What I called on Goethe, I think a couple of weeks ago, one of the most successful hoaxes in human history is to convince the world that Adolf Hitler was right-wing. | ||
| It's absolutely astonishing how the media and academia have got together and to convince people of that, when it's absolutely not the case. | ||
| Absolutely true, as you say. | ||
| I mean, I literally said what you said in those very words. | ||
| It was a national socialist movement. | ||
| They were socialists. | ||
| The Nazis were socialists. | ||
| And yet they've done this mind trick, like is it David Copperfield who does these great optical illusions? | ||
| They've done this mind trick, a Jedi mind trick, on the whole of humanity to think that Hitler was right-wing, and then if you wanted to be safe and not repeat history, you need to come over to the left. | ||
| And of course, not only is it not true, but from what you're recounting to us today, Peter Bystron, not only is that not true, but the German left is actually repeating in the same way what the National Socialists did in the 30s. | ||
| And yet, tell me, are people waking up to this in Germany? | ||
| Are they starting to see the truth for what it is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sure. | |
| More and more. | ||
| Look at the AFD. | ||
| We are the youngest party in Germany. | ||
| We were established just 10 years ago, but we are the most successful party. | ||
| And we are the only systemic opposition. | ||
| You know, we gain all the states' parliaments. | ||
| We come into the German federal parliament. | ||
| Several times and now we come for the third time to the European Parliament and we are becoming always stronger and stronger. | ||
| So this is the proof that more and more people, they got the eyes open, they are understanding what's going on, they are not believing the lies of the system, they are not believing the lies of the state's own media. | ||
| And they're coming more and more to free media and they are coming more and more to us. | ||
| But again, look at the last elections to the European Parliament. | ||
| In the polls a few months before, we were over 20 percent. | ||
| We had more than 20 percent. | ||
| And then the system started campaigning against us. | ||
| The first campaign was produced by an NGO which is paid by the government, paid by Soros and others. | ||
| And they put some fake news into the air. | ||
| And everybody from the mainstream media was copying it and they were spreading it. | ||
| And then they started other fake news about me, about my colleague Kra and others. | ||
| And they put us down from more than 20 to 16 percent. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The state-owned television, they were proudly announcing after the election, they were displaying pictures, graphics with it and saying, look, our campaigns did work. | ||
| We put the AFD down. | ||
| So This is what the state on television is doing before election is putting opposition down and is proud of it. | ||
| Peter, looking at the American context, first they'll try and destroy you at the ballot box. | ||
| When that doesn't work, they'll try and put you in prison. | ||
| And when that doesn't work, watch out for the assassination attempts. | ||
| Then they'll kill you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly, exactly. | |
| This is what is happening. | ||
| Now we all are watching what is going on in the US. | ||
| We all saw the assassination attempt to Donald Trump. | ||
| We had a similar thing here in Europe. | ||
| There was an assassination of Robert Fico, who is the Prime Minister of Slovakia. | ||
| I think Viktor Orban is in very big danger too. | ||
| All those leaders who are against the globalistic agenda, especially all those leaders who are against the upcoming war, I am sure that NATO is preparing a war, and everybody who is against this war is in big danger. | ||
| Look, on that point, I have a quote. | ||
| Look, I'll ask you, if I may, just to hang on over this last break, and then we're going to go over to the managing editor, Ellen Kruger-Fantini, of the European Conservative. | ||
| I've got a quote. | ||
| ...from Viktor Orban here, who said just what you said, basically. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| I'm going to hold it on until after the break. | ||
| Because I think Viktor Orban, who is now clearly the European leader of the nationalist movement, I actually think he's in very grave danger, personal danger. | ||
| And it would not surprise me if there were security lapses when he next speaks. | ||
| Peter, stand by. | ||
|
unidentified
|
fireworks back up at the base. Welcome back, folks. | |
| I'm just finishing off here with Peter Beistrand, Chairman Member of Parliament for the Alternative for Deutschland. | ||
| Listen, let me just read this quote to you. | ||
| This is what Viktor Orban said this morning. | ||
| All these attacks, talking specifically about the attacks against Donald Trump and Robert Fitzer in Slovakia, all these attacks are against anti-war pro-peace politicians. | ||
| Pro-war forces are so stirred up, tense, abetted and organized. | ||
| That they are trying to clean out the pro-peace forces from the stage, from the center of political life. | ||
| That quote, by the way, is at the very top of my feed on Geta right now, if you want more details, as is the article that's taken from Reuters. | ||
| Peter, I think you absolutely, you know, this isn't sort of nationalists fantasizing or Foaming at the mouth at the idea that Viktor Orban himself needs to take care. | ||
| There's a clear line. | ||
| You can join the dots, right? | ||
| You can see what they're doing to Donald Trump. | ||
| See what they did to Robert Fritz in Slovakia. | ||
| See what they did to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. | ||
| See what they did to Abe, Prime Minister Abe, former Prime Minister Abe in Japan. | ||
| Every single one of them. | ||
| See what they're doing to you when they break into in balaclavas and after the teeth in your home as a sitting member of parliament, 19 times at 5.30 in the morning. | ||
| All you guys, you're nationalists. | ||
| And more or less, more or less, you don't accept the mainstream media, military, industrial complex narrative on Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And, you know, that's why there's a danger. | ||
| If you want to be a patriot in public life, in elected office, as you do, there is a danger. | ||
| That is a factor now that you have to factor in, right, that you have to weigh a price in to entering into public life. | ||
| I think it actually casts what you're doing under a certain heroic light. | ||
| Peter, where can people, I know you have yourself have a podcast, where can people go to keep up with what you're doing? | ||
| Because I've seen some of the stuff that you're doing. | ||
| The photos, for example, that you were taking recent protests in Germany. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first, My phones and computers were confiscated, so since weeks I am not able to surf my Instagram and my Twitter account, my X account. | |
| But you still can reach my website and especially you can reach this website Night Talk Berlin and there is one excellent English interview with Eduardo Bolsonaro from Brazil. | ||
| He is talking about what's going on in Brazil, how the judges on the Supreme Court were doing censorship on Twitter. | ||
| And if you think, oh, it's been Brazil, this is not interesting. | ||
| No, watch it, listen to it, because this is the same blueprint. | ||
| If you understand, if you listen to what's happening in Brazil, you will understand what's going on in Europe and in the USA. | ||
| It's everywhere the same. | ||
| Peter, final question just before you go. | ||
| Final question. | ||
| The view amongst your parliamentary colleagues in Germany with regards to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, does he still need to take care of himself? | ||
| Do you think he needs to continue to spend a lot of attention on his own personal security between now and November? | ||
| What are folks saying in the German parliament? | ||
| Is he okay now? | ||
| Is it one attempt and then they're going to leave him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or do you think he still needs to be very, very careful? | |
| Might there be more coming? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, of course, he must take care of him. | |
| But I see a different danger. | ||
| I think the Democrats will switch the candidate. | ||
| They will put some younger woman in my opinion. | ||
| I predicted it already several months earlier. | ||
| I said Michelle Obama will have a comeback. | ||
| And all the mainstream media will then promise a change, something fresh, something new. | ||
| They will create kind of positive hysteria. | ||
| And this is the real danger. | ||
| This is the real manipulation of election. | ||
| OK. | ||
| Peter Beistrand, very, very happy for you to come on the show today. | ||
| We've been trying to get you on for a long, long time because you have some real interesting experience that I think, especially our viewership in America, will be very glad to hear, informed to know of what life is like for an AFD parliamentarian in Germany. | ||
| Please come back at some point in the future. | ||
| And I wish you the very best. | ||
| And we'll stay in touch, catch up soon. | ||
| Peter Beistrand. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless. | |
| With pleasure. | ||
| And thank you very much for your work and nice regards to everybody in the US. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| God bless, Peter. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| OK, it gives me a great pleasure now to bring on the show Ellen Krieger-Fantini from the European Concerted, talking about guests that I've wanted to bring on the show for a long, long time. | ||
| Finally, or as they say in Italy, finalmente, Ellen, because right now you are here in Italy. | ||
| I'm up in the north of Italy. | ||
| Welcome onto the show. | ||
| Look, what I wanted to ask you, and I declare an interest, I am, I do have, let me say, I am a contributing editor for the European Conservative. | ||
| I must go to source. | ||
| I check out the website every single day, superb analysis. | ||
| on what's going on in Europe. | ||
| I don't feel suitably informed unless I cast my eyes over your front page in the morning. | ||
| I say that as this show's international correspondent, international editor. | ||
| Thanks for coming on. | ||
| Can you just tell us a bit now, because something that we were covering Right up until the European elections was the possibility that Ursula von der Leyen, or as I call her on my getter feed, Ursula von der Leyen, was going to be nominated for a second mandate. | ||
| I actually didn't think it was going to happen. | ||
| I didn't think the numbers added up for her. | ||
| I think there's too much legal challenges now to do with Pfizer hanging over her. | ||
| Recent charges I think came out against her in the last few days. | ||
| And yet she's done it. | ||
| She has now been, as of yesterday I think, renewed in a second mandate. | ||
| What can you tell us about this and what does it mean for the development of the European | ||
| Commission over the next five years? | ||
| And what does it mean for Americans and a future Trump administration? | ||
|

|
So thanks so much for having me on, Ben. | |
| Great to see you. | ||
| Yes, Queen Ursula was reelected after she sold herself to the highest bidder and made promises to gang up on the patriots, sovereigntists, and anyone else right of center in the parliament. | ||
| So just imagine what's happening to Peter happening to others. | ||
| And I think it's important. | ||
| The first thing to understand is that We say she's re-elected president, but she's never actually won a single European citizen's vote. | ||
| And she's been elected for ignoring exactly what they did vote for. | ||
| So, a little background. | ||
| Despite the European elections in June overwhelmingly shifting the balance of power to the right in the European Parliament, von der Leyen's promises to this motley crew she put together for the votes she needed to keep herself at the helm effectively pushed EU decision-making even more to the left. | ||
| She was reelected in a secret vote. | ||
| Last time around, she had a coalition that included her centrist—we'll call it centrist—European People's Party, the Social Democrats, and the Liberals. | ||
| These groups still hold a nominal majority despite losing seats in the June elections, but because the vote was secret. There was a 10 to 15 percent defection | ||
| rate, let's say, not voting the way they were expected to vote. So she included the radical | ||
| greens, the greens, by promising them continued support for the Green Deal in exchange for their | ||
| votes and also vowing to keep a cordon sanitaire against the popular right-wing parties who | ||
| recently saw a surge in the elections. | ||
| This is the point, this is the point, this is the point, this is the point. | ||
| So she basically sold her position out. | ||
| She, she... | ||
| I don't want to say prostituted herself out to the left in order to secure a second mandate, but she prostituted herself out to the left to secure a second mandate. | ||
| And interestingly, one thing that never happened, though everyone was projecting this apart from me, I said, I don't believe this is going to be how it works out. | ||
| But Georgia Maloney, who was projected to be kingmaker, in fact, didn't really have any influence whatsoever in this. | ||
| I think Georgia had some good cards and she played them badly, by the way. | ||
| What does this mean for the for the nationalist, the sovereigntist movement in Europe right now? | ||
| Has it been frustrated, or will its dissatisfaction and anger grow with this reappointment? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think both things are true. | |
| So, of course, the National Conservatives and the sovereigntists in the new Le Pen-Victor Orban alliance called Patriots for Europe, and the other new group, Europe of Sovereign Nations, of course they voted against her. | ||
| But in her last-minute pitch, right before the vote, of course, she said, we want to continue the absurd Green Deal and the wildly unpopular migration pact, which are, of course, strongly rejected by at least a quarter of the European voters in June. | ||
| But worse was, to cement her standing with her leftist allies, she attacked the right-wing sovereigntists and Eurosceptic forces that she claims, quote, threaten the European way of life, whatever that means. | ||
| She called them demagogues and extremists and said she would fight for democracy. | ||
| She also reinforced that she's strongly committed to this Cordon Sanitaire. | ||
| And that is, think about it, The term cordon sanitaire is meant to create a barrier to stop infectious diseases, a dividing line between the healthy population and an infected one. | ||
| And so she and the Eurocrats like her are treating their democratically elected colleagues like they have the plague. | ||
| So they have no say in any policies. | ||
| So what this really means is that millions and millions of Europeans who voted for a change in Brussels will have no say over what happens in Europe. | ||
| And it is important, Ellen, it is important to underline the point that you just made, that this is here's someone with no democratic mandate sidelining those who do and doing that in the name of democracy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly, exactly. | |
| Well, as we know, both in Europe and America, when these bureaucrats say, our democracy or saving democracy, what they mean is the outcome they want. | ||
| Otherwise, it's not democratic. | ||
| So go ahead. | ||
| No, I wanted to very quickly pivot, because we have a break coming up in just a minute. | ||
| I just wanted to have a very quick pivot, as you are an American based here in continental Europe. | ||
| A drastic pivot to the U.S. | ||
| context. | ||
| Biden, the Democrats are going to ditch Biden, right? | ||
| In 30 seconds, the Democrats are going to ditch Biden. | ||
| As an analyst, who are they going to put in his place? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a great question. | |
| I mean, I'm not sure that Peter's wrong by saying a fresh face, Michelle Obama will come and save America. | ||
| But the fact is, any Democrat who actually has political ambitions is not going to want to be their pick because Donald Trump's going to win. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| That's what we were saying at the beginning of the show. | ||
| Excellent analysis. | ||
| Where can folks... I'll give out the Eurocon website, but just briefly, what's your Twitter? | ||
| Where can people go in the next 10 seconds to keep up with your great analysis? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| On Getter, we're at Eurocon. | ||
| On X, we're Eurocon official. | ||
| And I'm Fantina Vienna. | ||
| Ellen, catch you on the show imminently. | ||
| Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government. | ||
| Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and their weapon of choice, the two-tier system of justice. | ||
| From Russiagate, to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Joe Biden's classified documents case, to January 6th, to the 51 Intel letter, and everything in between. | ||
| We would never have learned that. | ||
| These people are dangerous and vindictive, learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption. | ||

It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. | |
| Welcome back to the closing segment of today's morning edition of the War Room. | ||
| Philip Patrick, good morning. | ||
| Thanks for coming on the show. | ||
| In times of instability, gold is a hedge, right? | ||
| And that's never more true than recent events. | ||
| We've seen in real time they try to take out The former and future president of the United States. | ||
| These are unstable times. | ||
| I have a little ticker on my phone that actually gives me the gold price. | ||
| It's hovered around $2,000, I think, per ounce for two years. | ||
| It's now, what, $2,400 or something? | ||
| And there's a rally right now. | ||
| What's your take on this? | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Yeah, great question. | ||
| So absolutely gold and precious metals in general shooting up in this climate. | ||
| Gold is up over 20 percent for the year. | ||
| Silver's up a little over 30. | ||
| And as you rightly point out, it is a reflection of instability and the realities of a Biden administration to see an assassination attempt of a A former president and the next president of the United States was just absolutely mind-blowing. | ||
| But it's a reflection of what's happening politically, but also economically. | ||
| Let's not forget under this administration, we've seen inflation surge. | ||
| We've seen the global supply of U.S. | ||
| dollars increase dramatically. | ||
| And through policy, he's incentivized the world To start looking at alternatives to the US dollar. | ||
| All of these things are very problematic, but it creates a very conducive climate for precious metals and for gold and silver in particular. | ||
| And of course, we're seeing that in their growth. | ||
| And if people are now sort of reading the daily newspapers and they actually think, well, you know, I thought about it, you know, I was open to it, but I was a bit undecided. | ||
| Now I actually think is the time to get in. | ||
| What do they do? | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Where can they find out more? | ||
| Yes, so I agree. | ||
| Look, we've seen movement, but with everything in front of us, I think there's a lot more to come. | ||
| So it's very simple for us. | ||
| It always starts with information. | ||
| So they go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. | ||
| Again, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon. | ||
| That's going to give them access to a free information kit on how and why to invest in precious metals. | ||
| They can also get access to the end of the dollar empire series written by Steve, which you know, it's a it's a project that he was very invested in and it gives people really good history and overview of the current financial system and how we got to where we are today. | ||
| So lots of good information at birchgold.com forward slash banner. | ||
| Phillip Patrick, thanks so much for coming on the show today, because as we know, we cover this on The War Room in real time, but these are unstable times, right? | ||
| Thanks very much. | ||
| Thank you, Ben. | ||
| God bless. | ||

| He just kept fighting right to the very end. | ||

| His first interview was with Donald Trump on my network, and his last one was. | ||
| I passed away yesterday and I know he's looking down. | ||
| He said, continue the fight, continue the fight. | ||
| We've got to save our country. | ||
| And just, um, it's, it's so sad. | ||
| I'm, uh, um, I'm praying for us. | ||
