Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
|

|
It's going to happen. | |
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|

|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome to War Room Battleground. | ||
| It's Natalie Winters hosting today, Wednesday, January 15th in the year of our Lord, 2025. It's the day that Joe Biden put out his farewell letter. | ||
| We did a deep dive in the preceding show. | ||
| Not that there's much to dive into in terms of truths or actual substantiated claims. | ||
| They're all lies. | ||
| Like they've been doing from the get-go, I guess it was the origin of this regime, gaslighting you that they actually won, gaslighting you that they were actually capable and competent. | ||
| Now I guess we know Joe Biden was never actually really running the show. | ||
| Not that that comes as a shock to anyone. | ||
| But it's funny because you read his farewell letter, the thousands of words about every single thing that they've accomplished. | ||
| Did you know they accelerated the most rapid green energy transition? | ||
| Now, they never tell you what the demonstrable benefit to humanity is in any of that, or how becoming super climate change friendly helps anyone anywhere. | ||
| I'd ask California how they're faring with regard to all that. | ||
| Like I said, what was it last week I was hosting this show when my house was in a mandatory evacuation zone? | ||
| But hey, at least my fire chief was a lesbian. | ||
| That's official government policy now, right? | ||
| But it's more than the DEI and the wokeness, right? | ||
| It's a depraved mentality that hates this country and wants to strip away from you every single ounce of meaning for it to mean something to be an American citizen. | ||
| And I think the avenue whereby you see that on full display is disaster response. | ||
| And no, Joe Biden and the Bushes and the Clintons and the Careys, I'm not talking about the disaster that is, what, some sand nation in the Middle East lacking democracy. | ||
| Ergo, we must send, what, thousands of young Americans to die and shed their lives and change their lives and get PTSD. So what, we can only a few decades later? | ||
| Withdraw and create more casualties and chaos. | ||
| Though, by the way, Joe Biden euphemized the Afghanistan withdrawal as his regime, quote, ending America's longest war. | ||
| That's the level of gaslighting and depravity that we're dealing with. | ||
| Get used to writing letters, Joe Biden, because you should be writing them from prison. | ||
| I think probably most poignantly for your response, or I should say lack of response, emphasis on lack, in response to these hurricanes in North Carolina and Tennessee. | ||
| Ben Burquam was on the show this morning exposing, I'm sure what they'll say is spreading misinformation, spreading disinformation, a true conspiracy theorist to your core. | ||
| They'll victim blame you, right? | ||
| It's your fault for exposing this, not their fault for having probably... | ||
| A disaster response that is on par, if not worse, than the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, especially in North Carolina. | ||
| But Ben, you have some on-the-ground reporting. | ||
| I know you have some aid groups and people who are trying to pick up the slack, step in, stand in line, really stand in the breach for Joe Biden and what his administration has failed to do. | ||
| If you could sort of give us an update, a summary of where you are, what you're doing, and I'll let you sort of introduce the guests that you've gathered for us to talk to. | ||
| Yeah, thank you, Natalie. | ||
| Just left. | ||
| I was down there. | ||
| I spent the last two days. | ||
| We're doing this Road to the Inauguration talking about the despair of the last four years and the dismal failure of the last four years and the hope that it's coming on Monday. | ||
| And it's seen nowhere better than what I saw over the last two days in Asheville, North Carolina, in Waynesville, North Carolina, and just now earlier today in Tennessee. | ||
| It's just absolutely... | ||
| It's unbelievable what this administration, so-called administration, has done to the people. | ||
| Now, I just came up from my friends Tyler and Misty. | ||
| They're on with us right now. | ||
| They're with the Appalachian United Initiative. | ||
| And I just came up from there. | ||
| I was down there with Tyler, and we were shooting some drone footage. | ||
| This is just down the way from their shop. | ||
| And in Irwin, Tennessee, and this is what it looks like today. | ||
| This is footage shot from drone footage today of the cleanup effort that's now finally underway. | ||
| It's just barely getting started with backhoes and beginning the cleanup work. | ||
| This is one area of hundreds of miles of river destroyed by this hurricane, lives destroyed, businesses destroyed. | ||
| Thousands of people still missing dead, presumed dead, while they're still coming out with insane numbers, like 200 total dead. | ||
| The numbers are in the thousands. | ||
| They're not even... | ||
| I stopped with Tyler and we talked to one of the crews and he admitted he didn't... | ||
| We didn't put him on camera for his own protection, but he admitted they're not even looking for bodies anymore there. | ||
| This is the level of response from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and this administration, and it's why it's so critical that President Trump won that election and that we get the real aid. | ||
| Now, the people that you see on the screen with us, the people that are joining us tonight, Natalie, are average American citizens. | ||
| It's we the people. | ||
| It's people in their own communities who said... | ||
| The county's not doing it. | ||
| The city's not doing it. | ||
| The state's not doing it. | ||
| The federal government sure as hell ain't doing it. | ||
| So we'll do it. | ||
| And I'll probably start out with Tyler. | ||
| Tyler Missy just came from there. | ||
| Again, the Appalachian United Initiative. | ||
| They are doing some incredible work. | ||
| Small business owner, running his own business, doing the best he can to run a business. | ||
| Be productive in the community, love his family, and then this happens. | ||
| And he steps up because nobody else did. | ||
| We've also got James and Mandy down there at Haven on the Hill. | ||
| They're doing some incredible work. | ||
| They basically, James took his property and opened it up to hundreds of people because the federal government's not doing it. | ||
| So I just want to hand it over. | ||
| And then we've got Jason... | ||
| Seidel as well, doing incredible work with housing and development of housing and helping people get back into homes. | ||
| Again, the moral of the story, because the federal government has failed them. | ||
| And Natalie, I just want to hand it off to Tyler and let them tell their story or however you want to take it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tyler. | |
| There. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, sorry. | |
| Thank you guys for this opportunity. | ||
| Yes, you're here. | ||
| Can you hear us? | ||
| Yeah, we can hear you. | ||
| Can you hear us? | ||
| Yes, we can hear you. | ||
| So if you guys will just take it, just tell us your story again, what you guys are dealing with, the level of response, and what you guys are doing, and really what you guys need. | ||
| The whole point of this is to talk about what you guys need so when President Trump gets into office next Monday. | ||
| We can actually get some help down there, too, you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think probably if we're just going to focus on kind of what we've done and what we need, I think what we've done is allow for the community to be able to have resources. | |
| They may not be hearing me. | ||
| I don't know, Natalie, if you need to talk to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can hear you. | |
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Overall, what we've basically been trying to do since day one is just be a resource for the community to have a place to be able to get... | ||
| What they need. | ||
| So whether that's supplies, whether that's housing, whether that's power, whether that's heat. | ||
| We've tried to cover transportation. | ||
| We've been trying to cover the gap across the board for what the community actually needs. | ||
| What we need going forward is for the government to come in and actually assess the area and pick up where we've left off. | ||
| What we need is for transportation to be returned back to the community so that they can stand on their own two feet and support themselves. | ||
| We need housing. | ||
| to be able to allow these families to be able to return back to home and remove themselves from being reduced down to tents and campers. | ||
| And we need to be able to have the permits and the septic inspections and all of those things and FEMA to be on the ground. | ||
| After they completed their inspections, they've not followed back up with the people. | ||
| We need that follow-up. | ||
| We need these organizations to pick up where they should be and allow these people to get into temporary housing or housing until they can get back coal again. | ||
| We need the funding and we need the hands on the ground to be able to help us do this. | ||
| It costs a lot of money to keep the equipment going, to clear the debris. | ||
| When you've got mom and pop... | ||
| You've got individual organizations doing that. | ||
| Our pockets are only so deep. | ||
| We only have so many resources, and we need the additional support to come in and rebuild the infrastructure, to come in and rebuild, you know, to clear the debris out, to get the neighborhoods ready to be able to have housing back in them again, to be able to give us the permits that we need to be able to get the housing back again. | ||
| All of those things are vital in order to restoring this area, in order to getting these people back to some sort of normalcy. | ||
| Basically, we need the federal government to do their job to get off their asses and do something about it and send funding down here and help these people because nobody's helping us except people like us and organizations and churches and mom-and-pop individuals. | ||
| They're not supposed to be doing storm cleanup. | ||
| We're not supposed to be doing storm cleanup. | ||
| We're not supposed to be disaster relief. | ||
| That's supposed to be FEMA. That's supposed to be... | ||
| You know, what our government's for, what our tax dollars are for, but that's not what it's being used for. | ||
| We need funds to rebuild houses. | ||
| If I can ask you a quick question. | ||
| When you see these huge sums of money, we're talking hundreds of billions of dollars going to foreign countries, primarily Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, or even the Joe Biden having the nerve in his farewell letter to talk about all the wonderful disaster response that they've carried out, everything that they've done on the climate change and environment agenda. | ||
| When you're sitting there just asking for the most basic resources, What's your message to Joe Biden? | ||
| What's your message to this regime? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Take care of your own country. | |
| Take care of your own people, your own American citizens, your taxpayers, your veterans, everyone that lives in America that deserves to be taken care of. | ||
| We don't need to be taken care of other countries until we take care of our own. | ||
| I think there should be a priority and a standard. | ||
| Yes, other countries do need assistance, and we pray for them. | ||
| Our hearts hurt for them, but you have to start at home first. | ||
| We have to be able to take care of our own country and our own people. | ||
| We have to start at our backyard with our next-door neighbor, the person next to us, and we have to be able to make our own self whole before we can go and help anybody else. | ||
| It's the time old saying, you can't pour from an empty cup. | ||
| We've got to be able to help our own self first before we go reaching out and putting our nose in other people's business and enabling them to not help themselves. | ||
| We have to be able to help our own people first. | ||
| We need Trump to do what Trump does. | ||
| And our audience certainly wants to help. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Please go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need Trump to do what Trump does. | |
| If they would just take the money that they're spending on all these illegal immigrants, giving them thousands of dollars a month to live in five-star hotels, if they would just take that money and send it down here to help the people that live here that are from America and take care of us, we could still help other countries. | ||
| He needs to get rid of them just like he said he was going to do, and that's what we hope he'll do. | ||
| If we'll get rid of all that, the money will be there. | ||
| We paid for FEMA support, yet here we are when we need FEMA support. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now here we are needing FEMA support, and yet the same people that paid tax dollars for FEMA support are the same ones taken out of their back pocket to do this relief effort. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, so our audience certainly wants to help you guys out and support you in a way that Joe Biden could never, even if he wanted to. | ||
| If people want to support your efforts, keep up to date with your relief efforts, where can our audience go to do all of that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can go directly to our website to make any donations. | |
| It's theaui.org. | ||
| You can also go to Facebook. | ||
| For the Appalachian United Initiative Facebook page and keep up with everything that we do on a daily basis. | ||
| Our location is 901 North Main Avenue in Irwin, Tennessee 37650. You're welcome to come volunteer with us, lend a hand, send a donation, come be boots on the ground with us here, you know, whatever, we would accept any support or help that we can get. | ||
| Our doors are open. | ||
| They're always open. | ||
| Well, God bless all of you. | ||
| Thank you for doing the just imperative work that you all are doing. | ||
| Truly, it's an honor to have had you guys on the War Room. | ||
| I'm sure we will be seeing you soon again, but I hope it's under much better pretenses where it's because our own government is actually helping you guys out and you're not stranded out there alone while Ukrainian oligarchs are partying on their brand new yachts. | ||
| Thank you guys so much for joining us. | ||
| God bless. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Now, Ben, this is a little bit of production on the fly. | ||
| So the entity, the group, you guys that were introduced... | ||
| After the wonderful group that we just spoke to, I'd love if we could toss to you guys and sort of explain what you guys have been doing and in your, I won't get too ahead of myself, but I'm sure since you're on this show, how you feel that the federal government, their response has failed you guys and failed your community and what areas, the contours that you're really looking to flush out under President Trump that you guys need help with. | ||
| Yeah, sorry for speaking over earlier, but James and Mandy, go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey there. | |
| We met with FEMA today, and like I said earlier, that's another 30 minutes of my life, I'll never get back. | ||
| And they left abruptly for an emergency. | ||
| Oh yeah, they left abruptly. | ||
| But they're saying, I was asking them point blank about the people getting kicked out of the hotels by the 24th. | ||
| And they were trying to explain us the rhetoric of, we do two-week evaluations and we do this. | ||
| I said, there should be no evaluations. | ||
| If the people need room, they need a roof over their head. | ||
| And they just stand there and smile and make excuses. | ||
| That's all I heard the whole time was excuses. | ||
| I had to walk away when they first got there. | ||
| And I tolerated them a little bit before they left abruptly. | ||
| So today, I told... | ||
| It seemed like we're having some connection difficulties. | ||
| Guys, let's try to reboot them. | ||
| In the meantime, maybe we can bring on the third, certainly last but not least, of the heroes, the patriots that are stepping in and filling in for the failure of a president that is Joe Biden. | ||
| Ben, if you can sort of segue where maybe where they left off how you feel, like I said, I won't get ahead of myself, but failed by the White House where you really need help. | ||
| Well, yeah, no doubt about it. | ||
| So that was Mandy and James of the Haven on the Hill. | ||
| And guys, if you want more information about what they're doing, incredible work. | ||
| You can go to their Facebook page. | ||
| That's probably the easiest. | ||
| Haven on the Hill. | ||
| Get more information. | ||
| There's all the links. | ||
| If we can get them back up, I'd love to have them finish telling that story. | ||
| But everywhere I went, what's crazy about this, Natalie, is everywhere I went, Everywhere. | ||
| It was the same story. | ||
| I think we haven't rebooted, Ben. | ||
| So let's toss back to... | ||
| Sounds good. | ||
| Can you guys hear me? | ||
| If you guys can hear me, we'll toss back to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We can hear you. | |
| We have Patricia Tinsley with James and I here with us, and she'll finish her story. | ||
| Not sure where it left off, but I met James when we named it Haven on the Hill. | ||
| And by the way, we have 50 small houses. | ||
| Our small house community is going to be called Haven Shire, which is very promising and precious and sweet. | ||
| But right now, we have a lot of foundations that want to help us. | ||
| And we have to pivot because we never know what's going to happen with FEMA. We don't know what's happening with people in hotels. | ||
| We thought we could catch our breath and get regular supplies, get food for our chef, get food for the dining hall. | ||
| But then with the hotel vouchers running out quickly and the phone calls are coming in to us, like the Ashley DeRamus Foundation out of Birmingham, Alabama, they've given us three RVs, campers, supplies. | ||
| They were going to bring me a casual load on Friday, and we had to change that to all hands on deck emergency load on Friday. | ||
| 40 cots and hot tents and things to support someone actually not sleeping in their car. | ||
| So we can't slow down to get the more casual items, like 50-pound bags of rice and things like that, because we are still getting people out of their cars, out of tents, and now we're going to have to help transport them from hotels. | ||
| And the not knowing for them must be stressful, but it is certainly stressful for us. | ||
| To not know. | ||
| And we couldn't get any answers from FEMA today. | ||
| But they stood there and smiled and made excuses. | ||
| And they did have an emergency and had to leave, so we didn't get to wrap up. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| We did try to ask them, in the situation, you know, when we were having our conversation, we asked them, you know, as providers, as people who are looking out for other people's welfare, like Patricia said, the stress and the trauma, even just on a provider. | ||
| You know, is the hotel voucher. | ||
| We're not even living by hotel voucher. | ||
| And we're stressed by it. | ||
| We're traumatized by it. | ||
| Because every time we're in a 24-hour countdown, what are you going to do? | ||
| How many people can you save? | ||
| Who's going to get who from what hotel? | ||
| Do we have the resources? | ||
| What camp are they going to go to? | ||
| Who's ready for them? | ||
| Do we have any zero bags? | ||
| Maybe we only have 30 bags, but it's going to be six degrees on Monday. | ||
| And we even asked the FEMA people if they would send somebody out. | ||
| Oh, go ahead. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Please finish. | ||
| Please finish. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We asked the FEMA reps if they would send someone out and spend the night in an RV. Yes. | |
| And deal with what the people are dealing with. | ||
| I asked them to come and do a day in the life. | ||
| No, they can't do that. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| That was a quick no on their part. | ||
| But I was going to tell them we'd give them a really good warm RV. We'd keep the propane full. | ||
| We'd keep the gasoline full. | ||
| We'd stock it with food. | ||
| We would put them in as we do for everyone that we help and all the souls that we are responsible for. | ||
| And that was a big negative. | ||
| FEMA was not going to stay on site in our community. | ||
| They didn't even finish the meeting. | ||
| We got called for... | ||
| Not an emergency, but, you know, a situation at camp. | ||
| And so we diverted, you know, some of the people talking to them, but there were still two people left talking to them. | ||
| And they literally just said, you know, we have another call and it's kind of an emergency. | ||
| We have to go. | ||
| So if our audience wants to stay up to date with everything that you guys are doing, find out more about your relief efforts, support them, where can they go to do that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can go to Haven on the Hill on Facebook. | |
| It's a Facebook page. | ||
| We will be posting in the bio of that Facebook page a very specific Amazon list for specific needs for Haven on the Hill. | ||
| And building a website. | ||
| We will be creating a website. | ||
| And at this time, we have a GoFundMe. | ||
| That link will be on or is on the Haven on the Hill page. | ||
| And if anyone has any questions... | ||
| I will be answering those questions or getting them answers from Patricia and James and Leslie. | ||
| You can call me at 828-550-4889. | ||
| My number is public. | ||
| I have no problem. | ||
| Share it, please. | ||
| But, you know, if anyone has any questions, reach out. | ||
| We do have a Venmo. | ||
| We have a Cash App. | ||
| We do have the GoFundMe. | ||
| And then we have the Facebook page. | ||
| And the website's under construction. | ||
| And our CFO does take private check donations. | ||
| She does. | ||
| And we welcome a foundation to help us tomorrow. | ||
| I'm going to spend time trying to get the local colleges to send us some interns. | ||
| We need consistent volunteers. | ||
| It's too hard to beg for volunteers on the day of they don't show. | ||
| And the weather doesn't help, and I'm aware of that. | ||
| And if we could get, you know, anyone from military, army, anything. | ||
| That could just know every Monday, every second Monday, if we can start to get good volunteers that way, we could really get better with infrastructure. | ||
| Thank you guys for everything that you're doing, and thank you for joining us tonight. | ||
| Truly true heroes and patriots. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
| And last but not least, I'm going to ask you a little bit of a different question, sir. | ||
| The mainstream media says, I'm sure everything that we were just talking about, that that is misinformation and that we're spreading lies and we're politicizing Joe Biden's disaster response because I guess back then we wanted to win the election. | ||
| Your lived experience, your sort of boots-on-the-ground reality being in these disaster zones, what would you say to the media elites who are comfortably sitting in their multi-million dollar New York penthouse saying that you are an agent of misinformation for daring to criticize the federal government's disaster response? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's easy. | |
| So as you can probably see, I'm in my truck because I do this seven days a week, daylight to dark. | ||
| So just any day of the week, meet me anytime between daylight and dark. | ||
| And I'll take you along. | ||
| I'll let you have the conversations. | ||
| I'll let you see the things that are going on. | ||
| I'll let you see the people that aren't being served by anybody but people like myself and the other amazing people that have been on the show. | ||
| Everything that they want to claim is propaganda, is misinformation. | ||
| This is really simple. | ||
| Really simple. | ||
| Follow me into the trenches and then have that conversation. | ||
| Because all they're doing is posturing to their own political wants and gains. | ||
| And we're losing because of it. | ||
| American people. | ||
| And I don't just mean North Carolinians. | ||
| I don't just mean people in California. | ||
| I mean the American people are losing. | ||
| Because their priorities are not in sight. | ||
| All they care about is their own game, their own emotions, and they don't care about us. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Come with us, and I'll show you. | ||
| Stand next to me while I'm giving ladies that are supposed to be supporting and giving Meals on Wheels to their old folks in our community that no longer have anywhere to provide the meals because FEMA has taken over their office. | ||
| And I was providing the meals. | ||
| Yet people want to say it's propaganda. | ||
| Follow me. | ||
| Come stand next to me. | ||
| I got plenty of room for you. | ||
| You can volunteer. | ||
| You can talk to these folks. | ||
| You can see the people who are being denied by FEMA every single day. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| And if our audience wants to come and volunteer with you or support with you or, hey, we know MSNBC watches The War Room. | ||
| Maybe they'll take you up on that offer. | ||
| The name of your organization, where people can go to help you out, sir. | ||

So Project Your Home. | |
| We're on all social media. | ||
| We've got a website and we've got an app. | ||
| So when you go to Project Your Home, if you want to download the app, if you're anywhere in the United States, but especially in hurricane-affected areas, we've got all the resources from mental health to your ability to volunteer. | ||
| It's a donation to everything on the app. | ||
| And it's available, like I said, to anybody. | ||
| It's free. | ||
| And take advantage of that. | ||
| We can link you up with other places to volunteer, any of the resources you might need. | ||
| To get you taken care of during this situation. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| And thank you, I know, from the bottom of the hearts of our audience for the work that you're doing to help the forgotten Americans. | ||
| We will have you back on soon. | ||
| And Ben Burquam, thank you again for always putting yourself on the front lines of danger. | ||
| I don't know where you are. | ||
| It's more or less dangerous than the southern border. | ||
| Hopefully that changes soon. | ||
| But real quick, Ben, if people want to follow you, support everything that you're doing, always on the front lines. | ||
| Truly amazing investigative reporting and work. | ||
| That we can only describe as misinformation. | ||
| Where can people go to do that? | ||
| Well, I've got a ton of footage, Natalie. | ||
| I'm going to be releasing it over the next few days at Ben Burquam. | ||
| And then, of course, America's Voice News, americasvoice.news. | ||
| And then I will actually, this road trip continues. | ||
| We're heading to the ARC Encounter tomorrow, taking the family there. | ||
| Going to be hitting up Cincinnati in the morning, seeing the illegals there. | ||
| Going to be finishing up on Friday in East Palestine again with folks there that are still abandoned by this government. | ||
| I'll be posting all of that on social media along the way as well. | ||
| So at Ben Burquam on all my social media. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us, Ben. | ||
| We'll have you back soon. | ||
| And War and Posse, we got some wonderful guests for the next block, but in the meantime, it's nationalpolis.com slash war room, sacred human health, the grass-fed beef liver, it's the best, promo code war room, warpath.coffee, got the obligatory prop. | ||
| Speaking of props, you've got to get Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws. | ||
| I don't know where my copy is. | ||
| It's somewhere around here. | ||
| And while you're at it, warroom.film. | ||

I got American Paul. | |
| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| There's always breaking news, especially as we barrel towards January 20th. | ||
| It's the real ceasefire on the American people from the Biden regime with all the weaponized lawfare and prison sentences and everything that they've thrown against us. | ||
| Yet, I don't know, somehow we've managed to persevere and actually thrive. | ||
| So take that, Joe Biden. | ||
| You had to give your son a pardon. | ||
| He folded. | ||
| Just like Mark Zuckerberg did when the censors called him up and cussed at him. | ||
| But I digress. | ||
| We'll save that discussion for a later time. | ||
| Breaking news, though. | ||
| Mike Turner, I think probably Zelensky's favorite congressional Republican. | ||
| Maybe Mike Rogers of Alabama is a close second. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He is... | ||
| Truly, I think, one of the largest, staunchest defenders of Ukraine. | ||
| He probably doesn't just wear the lapel pin. | ||
| He probably has a Ukraine flag tattooed on him. | ||
| But he has been removed by, I believe, Speaker Johnson as the chair of House... | ||
| We're going to get into the ceasefire hostage stuff going on, breaking down the Middle East, too. | ||
| But before we get to that, Colonel Derek Harvey joins us, who sort of comes from that world. | ||
| You're certainly an alum of all that. | ||
| If you can sort of walk us through the significance of this and why it really is, I think, as Steve said on Getter, the Trump effect in the intel community. | ||
| Well, Mike Turner is the House Intelligence Chairman, or was, and I worked with him when he was a member, and I worked under Devin Nunes. | ||
| Mike Turner has prided himself on being a friend of Ukraine and of Europe, and he's a very Eurocentric person. | ||
| But more than that, he loves to party and dine and socialize at the Aspen Institute and the Munich Security Conference and the Halifax Conference in Canada. | ||
| And he is much more aligned with the Democrat left. | ||
| on global issues with the global elite. | ||
| He is absolutely not MAGA. And he was not doing oversight. | ||
| He worked against President Trump's agenda. | ||
| He cozied up with the Democrat leadership. | ||
| He voted against FISA reform and actually worked very hard to prevent any real reforms. | ||
| I mean, real reforms. | ||
| One could go on. | ||
| And then he was boasting about his ability to put people into the Incoming administration and how he was going to shape things and keep Trump from getting progress in reforming the IC. And Derek, I want to pivot to the other breaking news, I believe, and true and active, I guess, utter political humiliation. | ||
| The State Department and their presser today, they were even forced to admit that Envoy Stephen Wyckoff and just President Trump in general, his presence sort of contributed to this hostage release. | ||
| I believe it was around two dozen, three dozen. | ||
| In addition to the ceasefire, can you sort of walk us through the contours of this deal? | ||
| Is President Trump right to be taking credit for it? | ||
| Well, clearly, Mr. Witkoff, as the special envoy for the Middle East for President Trump, the incoming administration, was in communications and having meetings with, you know, Qatari officials, and he spoke very fondly of the Qatari's effort in this regard. | ||
| The deal was being worked very hard by the Biden administration, and I think the Trump administration's Pressure on the parties got it over the line. | ||
| But the deal itself is questionable as to whether or not, if it's implemented completely, if it benefits Israel and the West. | ||
| Because at the end of the day, if you keep Hamas in power, and they're able to rebuild with the support of the United Nations, one of their allies, the World Health Organization, some of the European states, and the money from Qatar and Turkey, It's a big win for Hamas. | ||
| Now, Mike Waltz, the incoming national security advisor, has clearly said that at the end of the day, Hamas will not be in power. | ||
| And that's what he said today, and I think that was in a tweet. | ||
| But definitely the first phase in exchange of hostages is important. | ||
| 1,000 terrorists, criminals from the Palestinian cause, in exchange for less than 100 bodies. | ||
| And some who are alive. | ||
| We don't know how many are actually alive. | ||
| And the vulnerability or the Achilles heel of the Israelis in this war, in all wars, has been that they value life very, very much. | ||
| And Hamas and Islamic Jihad and ISIS and these other groups do not. | ||
| So they're willing to sacrifice a lot to get their people back. | ||
| Colonel Harvey, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with your analysis on all of this, hopefully we'll have more good news to report. | ||
| Where can people go to do all that? | ||
| Well, I like Truth Social, so I'm just Derek Harvey, D-E-R-E-K-H-A-R-V-E-Y, on Truth Social, and Colonel D. Harvey at Twitter, and then DerekHarvey.org. | ||
| Colonel Harvey, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| Always an honor to have you here in the War Room. | ||
| Keep doing the great work, Natalie. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I appreciate that, and it means very much coming from you, so thank you. | ||
| In War Room Posse, you've got to be checking out RickardsWarRoom.com, the new book. | ||
| Very great, very cool cover, might I add, too. | ||
| Jim Rickards. | ||
| Very few people Steve has on to talk all things finance and money, but he is one of them. | ||
| It's RickardsWarRoom.com. | ||
| Paradigm Press, while you're at it, maybe go check out PatriotMobile.com. | ||
| Use promo code WARROOM. You know, you gotta get off those horrible cell phone and telecom providers that hate you and are using your money to fund stuff that you probably don't even want to know about. | ||
| We are joined now by, I think the first time I've ever had him on as a guest, a friend of mine, a friend of the show, the one and only Rainer Jackson. | ||
| Rainer, I wanted to have you on, obviously, the H-1B debate over what does it mean to be an American citizen, or Steve says a legacy American, rages on despite the tech bros' best efforts to sort of gloss over it. | ||
| But in the war room, we really did a deep dive into the data is the number of the statistics showing how I think it's like half of Americans who receive STEM degrees will never actually work in STEM because they're being prioritized or rather foreigners are being prioritized over domestic workers. | ||
| The people that they're importing are actually not the best and brightest. | ||
| And the idea, the sort of, you know, false flag idea that we need to import foreigners really isn't rooted in anything substantive or reality based, but rather just, you know, lobbyists and profit margins for big companies. | ||
| I'm curious how you think that issue sort of intersects with something that you have always advocated for, which is building and bolstering the kind of black entrepreneurial spirit and black entrepreneurial class. | ||
| How do you think President Trump needs to approach those issues come January 20th to help the black community continue to see the MAGA light at the end of the tunnel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you, Natalie. | |
| It's always good to be on with you. | ||
| I tell you, you've been kind of hot today. | ||
| I mean, I've been slipping in and out since this morning, and you've been kind of hot tonight, I tell you. | ||
| So somebody must have gotten under your skin today, because you've been firing on all syllables today. | ||
| But yeah, Natalie, this whole notion about America... | ||
| And American businesses needing foreign labor, that's bullcrap. | ||
| We have more than enough American talent to supply the job market for anything we need, especially in the area of STEM. Natalie, at our event last month that Steve spoke at our luncheon, we had some of the biggest black-owned IT companies in the U.S. I mean, some of these guys are doing north of $100 million, $200 million a year. | ||
| And they have a pipeline, a black, they have a pipeline into the historically black colleges where they have identified talent coming through the pipeline. | ||
| So this whole notion of Elon Musk and all the Silicon Valley companies, they want cheap labor, even if it's a national security threat to the American national security. | ||
| So now I'm hoping on January 20th. | ||
| The president would just shut down this H-1B to at least put a temporary halt so we can weave through this stuff. | ||
| This is a major national security issue. | ||
| And they obviously try to couch this debate in terms of saying people who oppose the H-1Bs, it's rooted in racism or nativism or xenophobia. | ||
| I would say it's sort of the natural reaction when your country's been inundated and flooded with a bunch of foreigners from cultures that don't have a lot of similarities with your own to probably be a little averse to, you know, importing the people who are going to take your jobs that you're going to be forced to train their replacements for. | ||
| But I'm just curious your thoughts on just sort of the The framing of this debate, because I do think it sort of undergirds the theory that we have here in the war room, which is that the elites, however you want to couch it, they have always tried to orient this discussion through the lens of the ad hominem attacks, the identity-based stuff, make it about race, because in reality, just like you saw in November of last year... | ||
| When you can reorient the political discussion in terms of working class versus the ruling class, it doesn't really bode all that well for the ruling class, and in this case, the Democratic establishment. | ||
| I'm just curious your thoughts on sort of the framing of this debate from the cultural perspective. | ||
|

|
Well, yeah. | |
| They know they're on the wrong side on the substance of this issue, Natalie. | ||
| When you can't win on the substantive argument, come up with all these red herrings. | ||
| It's a race. | ||
| You're xenophobic. | ||
| You're racist. | ||
| What about, Natalie, this weird thought of actually putting Americans first, which is the whole premise of MAGA? We want to do every policy we can come up with that's going to be beneficial to America. | ||
| Not the elites, Natalie, but the rank and file of America. | ||
| And here's the beauty about... | ||
| Technology and STEM, Natalie. | ||
| Number one, you don't necessarily need a college degree to get a six-figure paying job in IT. You can drop out of high school because a lot of kids who are 12, 13, 14, they are good at coding and they know how to design websites and things like that, Natalie. | ||
| So this is a way for the elite across the board. | ||
| For them to lose control over the masses of the people. | ||
| And that's what this is about. | ||
| Why is Harvard so in the tank? | ||
| And when they say that there's a shortage of American workers or a talented labor pool, to fix that, sort of getting into the Vivek critique of American culture, you're saying that in your experience... | ||
| Your lived reality, there's not a shortage. | ||
| It's just that they're overlooking qualified American candidates in favor of better profit margins. | ||
| Do you think that that theory of the case is valid and accurate? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Without question, Natalie. | |
| And then the other part is, again, why would you hire an American engineer at $150,000 a year when you can get an Indian H-1B cardholder at $40,000 or $50,000 a year? | ||
| That immigrant knows, Natalie, if they cause any trouble, that employer has their visa in their hand. | ||
| So they have a control mechanism over an immigrant that they wouldn't have over an American citizen as far as rights. | ||
| And so that's very problematic to me. | ||
| And Raynar, just give me a minute. | ||
| I know you had been talking with our producers that you... | ||
| Had sort of a new vision, a conservative vision for civil rights for the 21st century and how you think President Trump is going to be able to deliver a victory on that front. | ||
| We'll have you back on, but just give us sort of the minute pitch on why you think President Trump is the man who can do that for you guys and what he needs to do for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, no question. | |
| Today is Martin Luther King's actual birthday. | ||
| It's celebrated on the third Monday of every month, which would be Inauguration Day. | ||
| So Steve and I were talking, and we knew we wouldn't have time to bring me on on Inauguration Day. | ||
| But Donald Trump can be a transformative president on the issue of civil rights. | ||
| And the reason he can do that is because Donald Trump is a very pragmatic... | ||
| He's a practical guy. | ||
| He wants to create opportunities based on talent and skill set, not based on race. | ||
| That was King's last step of the civil rights movement before he was killed in Memphis, speaking to the sanitation workers, was economic empowerment. | ||
| And that's what this Trump administration, I think that's their sweet spot, is getting the economy humming, regardless of your race, creed, or color. | ||
| And that will benefit all Americans. | ||
| And I think Trump, Natalie, he pulled together the most diverse coalition last November in the history of presidential politics. | ||
| And I think economic policy is going to solidify that place in history for Donald Trump. | ||
| Raynard Jackson, always an honor to have you here in the war room. | ||
| If people want to follow you, get in contact with you, reach out, stay up to date with everything you're working on, where can they go to do that? | ||

|
Thank you, Natalie. | |
| We are joined now by Trevor, I believe, from Sacred Human Health. | ||
| Trevor, hit us real quick. | ||
| Today's sort of a monumental day. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Red dye three or whatever. | ||
| It's going to be banned. | ||
| A win for Maha. | ||
| We can't even stop winning. | ||
| Haven't even taken over the government yet. | ||
| You guys have always sort of been ahead of the curve on all things health and wellness. | ||
| If you have any special deals for us, I know the audience loves the beef liver, but you guys do other things too, so hit us with the latest that you guys are working on. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's funny you mention that because that was the first thing I wanted to mention in case anyone missed it is that it's definitely a big win for the Maha movement. | ||
| Food Diet Red 3 was banned, which is contained in many grocery store products and supplements, mainly because it has a correlation to cancer concerns. | ||
| And I know that may scare some people, but... | ||
| You know, that's just kind of the way it goes with our current status of food and nutrition in the U.S., but hopefully that'll be changing soon. | ||
| But also it's something, you know, that I've always talked about and I try to be vocal about, which is, you know, being careful with the types of products that you purchase and consume, and at least at Sacred Human. | ||
| We saw that from the get-go in terms of what these larger companies were doing. | ||
| In turn, we launched our product line really just trying to provide the natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. | ||
| Of course, what we have seen throughout the industry is that many of these bigger corporations will include the ingredients like the Red Dye 3, as well as binders, artificial additives, and other preservatives that just aren't healthy for human consumption. | ||
| But they do things like cut costs and extend the shelf life. | ||
| Again, with Sacred Human, we're trying to provide you all the supplements with none of that artificial nonsense and just making sure that everything is produced right here in the USA. So on top of that, and that also goes for all of our products, but we are running the 20% discount New Year sale, I like to say. | ||
| So if you type in code 2025 or 2025, it's valid 20% off for any one-time purchase. | ||
| I always like to say, too, you know, we talk about it quite a bit, but our grass-fed beef livers flagship product, which I can't recommend enough, especially during the cold season, mainly just because it contains all the nutrients that you really need, like vitamin A, B12, folate, CoQ10, and many others. | ||
| And then on top of that, it also contains many vitamins and minerals that most people are deficient in, so things like selenium, K2, copper. | ||
| As well as choline. | ||
| So it kind of gives you the full array that you need to stay up to date and healthy with your body. | ||
| And I don't tell people what to do, but I always urge people to get off the synthetic multivitamins if they're willing to and switch over to the beef liver because the beef liver your body can absorb much better as well. | ||
| So a ton of information on our website, sacredhumanhealth.com if you want to learn more. | ||
| But I won't bore you guys too much. | ||
| Never aboard. | ||
| We love our Maha brothers and sisters here in the War Room. | ||
| Trevor, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Hey, while you're at it, go check out birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Text Bannon to 989898. Get the latest installment of the End of the Dollar Empire. | ||
| I got a printed out copy of that. | ||
| I don't see one around here. | ||
| Speaking of all things Maha, I think these are the days where you're sort of left with the question, well, why did the government, why did the FDA ever let red food dye that's obviously carcinogenic and awful for your health? | ||
| Why did they ever let that be allowed? | ||
| And then you say, oh, well, that's because they also authorized the COVID-19 vaccine. | ||
| I think the probably biggest limited hangout that exists in current political discourse is the idea that everything with young women's health has to be looked at through the lens of reproductive freedom. | ||
| I've always advocated for discussion through this lens of reproductive health. | ||
| Because reproductive freedom and all this abortion talk presupposes that you can actually get pregnant, when in reality, what, testosterone rates are plummeting, women can't get pregnant, they're having to use IVF. And it's because it's a coordinated assault, not just on the nuclear family, that's the end-stage culmination of it, but it's a coordinated assault on you and your body. | ||
| I mean, why would they want you to be smart and functioning well? | ||
| No wonder why they want lead in the water. | ||
| They want you to be dumb, right? | ||
| They love fluoridated water. | ||
| I guess we're getting really hot and spicy in the fourth hour of War Room today. | ||
| But what's the advantage for America's ruling class for you to be, as we say, firing on all cylinders? | ||
| They want you dumb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It's bread and circuses, but I think the bread's a little bit more toxic, and I guess the circus is probably a little more toxic, too, because it's, what, grooming content and weird pedophilic propaganda and pornography. | ||
| It's all a coordinated assault that I think, if you read Joe Biden's farewell letter, you can sort of piece out the through line, the common threads there. | ||
| So I'm very glad that, what, Red Dye 3 or whatever is banned. | ||
| But it's a symptom of a much more systemic problem, and I don't use systemic in the way that the left uses it, talking about systemic racism or systems theory, complex systems theory, like they have out in California. | ||
| How's that fire response going? | ||
| Not too well. | ||
| But it's a system that's designed to come for you and your family, and then in times of need, like you saw in North Carolina and Tennessee, the government's nowhere to help you. | ||
| But I guess these are the same people who think American citizenship doesn't mean anything, right? | ||
| Give it to an H-1B, an H-2B, an H-4, an illegal alien. | ||
| Doesn't matter, right? | ||
| Global government. | ||
| Well, I think like President Trump said, we will never surrender to your false song of globalism. | ||
| And I'm ready to stop surrendering come January 20th. | ||
| Have a good day. |
