And beyond, meaning anyone else's fingerprints on it, as you point out, the United States fingerprints are all friggin' Lindsey Graham is in country, or was or is in country, you know, in Kyiv right now, or when the attack took place. | |
| Good God, we are so implicated, Steve. | ||
| It's your show, but I hate to do this. | ||
| We'll bring it up again if you want. | ||
| Eric, hang on. | ||
| Eric, you nailed the very lead. | ||
| And beyond. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They're not leaving it in Ukraine. | ||
| And beyond. | ||
| Folks, if you're a mad guy, support President Trump. | ||
| President Trump has tried to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, ever since they went to this, as you and I have talked, Eric, ever since Xi went to Moscow for the 80th commemoration of Victory in Europe Day, the Russians have escalated in Ukraine, no doubt about that. | ||
| The Russian rapprochement doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon. | ||
| Xi, tonight, we're going to start in Korea on the 6 o 'clock show. | ||
| Looks like Korea's going to fall tomorrow at the ballot box, political warfare. | ||
| A political party totally controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| The Persians told us today, thanks but no thanks on your nuclear deal. | ||
| So folks, get out the rosaries and say a few prayers, but also we've got to take some action here to back President Trump and make sure that we tone all this stuff down. | ||
| Eric Bolling, your thoughts, Eric, before we punch out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My thoughts are I'm going to stick with you, Stephen, and stick to the war room because you're on top of all. | |
| Appreciate your time, man. | ||
| We'll see you again tomorrow. | ||
| Love you, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You too. | |
| Okay, see you again. | ||
| Eric Bolling. | ||
| The great. | ||
| We've got Mike Davis by phone in an airport somewhere in the Middle East. | ||
| He can jump on now. | ||
| Mike Davis, before we do our cold open, Brother Davis, we're getting bad news out of a lot of these courts, and today the New York Times had a huge article that the reason that we're getting smacked around on tariffs is because of an amicus brief. | ||
| Signed by some of the most prominent legal minds in the conservative movement. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Okay, I don't have a Mike Davis. | ||
| He dropped sync. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mike Davis is there. | |
| I am here. | ||
| Can you guys hear me? | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry about that. | |
| Our afternoon shift finally woke up. | ||
| Okay, go ahead, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would say this, that those so-called conservative lawyers who signed that amicus brief opposing President Trump's trade policies, I wouldn't exactly call those conservative lawyers. | |
| They are Trump-deranged lawyers, and I think that they are a dying species. | ||
| Well, hold it, Mike. | ||
| I mean, there's MAGA and there's, you know, the America First. | ||
| The populist nationalists, the MAGA, all this. | ||
| We know it's something that's aborning. | ||
| But these are pretty traditional, pretty big names in the traditional Republican Party. | ||
| So how are we going to... | ||
| I mean, do we have a deep enough bench to get judges, to get lawyers to stay? | ||
| Last time I looked, we're barely hanging on by our fingertips over at the – So how are we going to get enough bodies that are kind of MAGA lawyers since so much of it looks like the legal establishment is not with us, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think that the legal establishment is going to move with society. | |
| And I just did a trip to Israel with several federal judges and a bunch of lawyers. | ||
| And I'll tell you, the bench is deep, and it's very good for the Supreme Court, for the federal circuit courts. | ||
| The difference this time is that President Trump is going to rely on people who are more based, like the Article III project, than the establishment people of the first. | ||
| You were there, Steve. | ||
| You remember what happened. | ||
| President Trump had to prove something to Republicans back in 2016. | ||
| He had to prove that it was actually conservative, that it was actually acceptable to the establishment legal community. | ||
| And President Trump more than delivered. | ||
| He set records for the number of judges that he appointed. | ||
| He shifted the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts significantly to the right. | ||
| And he's going to build on that. | ||
| And his second term with even more bold, even more fearless judges. | ||
| I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I broke every piece of china that I could get my hands on to confirm judges in the first term. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a lot different this time in the sense that we broke all the china. | |
| We don't need to worry about loose lips for federal circuit judges anymore, where the home state senators get a veto for federal appellate judges. | ||
| We don't have to... | ||
| It's down to two hours. | ||
| We have a different Senate Republican majority this time. | ||
| We're not hanging by a thread with people like Trump. | ||
| And we don't have the Russian collusion hoax, which cast significant doubts, even among Republican senators, on President Trump in the first term. | ||
| And most importantly, President Trump doesn't need to prove anything to these D.C. establishment types he has delivered. | ||
| And these D.C. establishment types, they abandoned President Trump after President Trump. | ||
| President Trump picked their judges in the first term, and many of them were very good. | ||
| Some of them were bad. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| President Trump doesn't need the D.C. legal establishment anymore, especially after the D.C. legal establishment abandoned President Trump during four years of lawfare. | ||
| And they haven't said much about the judicial sabotage that's occurred since January 20th. | ||
| So I would say to the D.C. legal establishment. | ||
| Go to hell. | ||
| Are you concerned? | ||
| Because the reason I wanted to bring this up to you in this article, this was about terrorists. | ||
| Now, obviously, a big part of that was calling on his commander-in-chief powers under Article 2 about this invasion, which the courts dismissed immediately. | ||
| Are you concerned the same group that wrote this amicus brief could be out there on TV as surrogates? | ||
| Writing more pieces when it comes down to these huge questions that you and I agree have to be resolved by the end of June on his Article II power as commander-in-chief. | ||
| Things like habeas corpus, like shipping these invaders, the bad guys, back to Central America and Venezuela, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not concerned about the people who signed that anarchist brief. | |
| I don't even know if many of them consider themselves Republicans anymore, but these are the same people who sabotaged President Trump during the law fair. | ||
| They said that the President of the United States is not immune from prosecution for his official acts. | ||
| These people have been Trump deranged for many, many years. | ||
| Mike, Where do people go if they want to get involved with Article 3? | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Where do they go right now? | ||
| Because, man, we've got a fight on our hands big time across the board. | ||
| I think it's almost up to 200 cases been filed to try to slow President Trump down. | ||
| Where do folks go? | ||

Article3project.org. | |

| You can follow us on social media. | ||
| Donate. | ||
| And the most important thing is to take action. | ||
| A. Mel Bove for the Third Circuit is the big action item for the War Room Posse. | ||
| And I'm telling the War Room that these judges, these lawyers are going to move with the politics. | ||
| So that's why what we're doing, especially with this action center, with the War Room Posse, is so effective. | ||
| So your theory is that they move with the politics. | ||
| So if we put our muscle and show that we can get a couple of these judges across and support more MAGA folks at DOJ, FBI, etc., that the judges will follow because they don't have any political courage. | ||
| They'll go which way the wind blows, and they understand the MAGA movement's here permanently. | ||
| They'll start coming our way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that your theory of the case? | |
| 100%. | ||
| We did this on the law fair. | ||
| We did this to confirm President Trump's. | ||
| Cabinet and subcabinet picks like Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, these bold, fearless reformers to the cabinet and subcabinet. | ||
| We're going to put these same type of lawyers on the federal bench, bold and fearless people like Emil Bove, who put it all on the line for our Constitution. | ||
| And now he's going to be an outstanding Third Circuit judge. | ||
| There's no shortage of bold and fearless lawyers, and we're going to make – Perfect. | ||
| Article 3 project. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you so much. | ||
| We'll see you when you get back. | ||
| Missed you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Mike Davis ends his pilgrimage and returns home. | ||
| What I want to do is play the cold open. | ||
| Let's just play the Katie Turr part on the intelligence community and we'll hold the. | ||
| Does that work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay, let's go. | ||
| We're going to play. | ||
| We're going to actually, and let's play the long open for War Room. | ||
| We're going to introduce the show. | ||
| Let's go ahead and let it rip. | ||
| FBI Director Kash Patel last month trying to bat away questions about how he is leading the FBI. | ||
| The book he is referencing is his own. | ||
| It's called Government Gangsters, and it lays out his vision of the agency under Donald Trump, one that argues for drastic changes in order to root out partisan corruption, specifically the longstanding Trump complaint conspiracy that deep state agents were trying to destroy him through investigations from Russian collusion to the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. | ||
| To meet that goal, the New York Times reports Director Patel has laid off agents and officials en masse, leading to concerns about a significant loss in expertise, including, in some cases, whole categories of agents. | ||
| Quote, a succession of top agents, all women, were given an ultimatum, take a different post, or be asked to retire. | ||
| Others are routinely subject to polygraph tests to try and suss out agents who have talked to the media or, as one former agent describes it, gossip. | ||
| And all are being sent a not-so-subtle message on what or at least what not to focus on. | ||
| By disbanding the elite federal public corruption squad in Washington, D.C.'s field office, the one that investigated Trump's efforts in the 2020 election, Times journalist Adam Goldman writes, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino have sent a clear message. | ||
| In essence, a former official said nobody is above the law except Mr. Trump. | ||
| You might be asking yourself, is this really true? | ||
| What happened to the GOP's dogma of protecting the Constitution? | ||
| Peter Wenner wondered the same in The Atlantic, saying, quote, A party that formally proclaimed allegiance to the Constitution and the rule of law warned about the concentration and abuse of power and championed virtue, restraint, and moral formation has been transmogrified. | ||
| The Republican Party now stands for everything it once loathed. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's one time 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 line? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
| 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. Band. | ||
| It's Monday to June, year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| You just heard Mike Davis coming back from the Middle East talking about this amicus brief and about these really a who's who of Republican lawyers standing against President Trump on one of the key parts of this, the tariffs. | ||
| But essentially telling the New York Times they're really against Trump across a range of topics. | ||
| Katie Turner's reporting, and the New York Times got this. | ||
| I don't know where they got it. | ||
| That Cash and Bongino are getting rid of, are really starting to take apart the FBI. | ||
| We're not seeing it. | ||
| They're saying some senior guys are going. | ||
| I guess that's natural rotation. | ||
| We would love to see more of that. | ||
| We think that, we understand Cash and Dan. | ||
| You know, it's tough to control a place when you only have a couple of people. | ||
| A particular place gets, what, 35,000 FBI agents. | ||
| But this situation in Ukraine proved, it should remove any doubt from your mind, that the deep state is there. | ||
| And the deep state is either withholding information from President Trump about what's really going on in the world, or they're actively working against American interests, particularly American interests as defined. | ||
| By a guy who has a gig called Commander-in-Chief, that would be Donald John Trump, who has said over and over and over again, I don't want the kinetic part of this Third World War to metastasize. | ||
| I want to calm it down. | ||
| I want people to lay down their guns and stop shooting at each other. | ||
| We're going to figure out deals, economic deals, that people are going to be prosperous. | ||
| And in being prosperous, they're going to appreciate peace even more. | ||
| That's not what's going on. | ||
| We are hurtling towards a broader engagement in what is shaping up to be a massive war on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| You think we had a couple of those in the last century? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Killed 200 million people overall when you add them all up. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to talk the Chinese Communist Party and the KGB all next in the war room. | ||

American faith in America's heart. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | ||
| Monday, 2 June, New Year of Alert 2025. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Right there, they're talking about, and they're complaining about cash and the team being too hard on the deep state. | ||
| I think now more than ever, and I hope the president's calling for this, because to me, you've got two choices. | ||
| Number one, and I think, unless you condemn, The escalation of the Ukrainians. | ||
| And I'm not saying their attack is not audacious and bold and courageous and inventive and all those things, because it was. | ||
| Also, I don't believe at all it wasn't done without that team in Wiesbaden that the New York Times reported a year ago in 2024 that was running the Ukraine war, running the Ukraine war from Wiesbaden with German intelligence. | ||
| It's just, this is like the October 7th deal with Hamas. | ||
| No, that was the Muslim Brotherhood and people thinking that thing through. | ||
| Just like on October 7th, I don't believe, I'm not a believer that other intelligence services didn't know about it. | ||
| It was too complicated. | ||
| It took too long to put together. | ||
| It had too many moving pieces to it. | ||
| They had all the kibbutzes. | ||
| They had all the floor plans for that. | ||
| It just had too much information. | ||
| It was too well coordinated. | ||
| It was too particularly... | ||
| Here, in the Ukrainians, and we have said from the beginning, the Ukrainians have been courageous. | ||
| The Ukrainians have been tough. | ||
| And Mersheimer was right. | ||
| We're going to fight to the last Ukrainian. | ||
| This is what the West wants to do. | ||
| The issue with this, they were supposed to be sitting down. | ||
| At a peace conference today, or at least a ceasefire conference in Turkey. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Russians didn't seem particularly enthusiastic after they got hit. | ||
| Their strategic assets got hit. | ||
| And we had Boone Cutler on this morning, General Flynn's partner, on the 5G warfare. | ||
| He brings up a great point. | ||
| Hey, you don't think that can happen here in the United States of America with the Chinese Communist Party, given all the farmland that they control? | ||
| Given all the people they've got in the national labs, all the Chinese nationals they've got in these schools, 350,000, which is a good first step to send home. | ||
| And some innocent people are going to get wrapped up in that. | ||
| There's some people that hate the CCP in that, but hey, you can't weed it out like that at this time. | ||
| You just got to say, hey, every Chinese national, because you signed that document, you just got to go. | ||
| This is our point about the deep state. | ||
| Why are we getting drawn into this war? | ||
| We fought and people voted for an individual who was not a warmonger, who none of the wars started on his watch. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because nobody would cross him. | ||
| Muslim Brotherhood wouldn't cross him. | ||
| Hamas wouldn't cross him. | ||
| Putin wouldn't cross him. | ||
| Xi wouldn't cross him. | ||
| And when it was stolen and the Biden regime was there, all hell broke loose. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Maybe it's all the stories you're hearing now coming out of the White House through Jake Tapper and CNN about a close associate was there and Biden's wandering around closets. | ||
| Maybe that has something to do with it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm just tossing it out there in the conversation. | ||
| This Third World War, just so you understand, is going to be so lethal. | ||
| And so brutal, it will be World War I and World War II combined. | ||
| Let me repeat that. | ||
| It will be World War I and World War II combined. | ||
| You've got nukes all over the place. | ||
| You have chemical warfare. | ||
| Well, Steve, chemical warfare, wasn't that banned after World War I? | ||
| Mustard gas? | ||
| Hello, fentanyl. | ||
| We've already have a million casualties coming from the Chinese Communist Party and the cartels. | ||
| This war is full on, folks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See what you see. | |
| And this weekend, and they're calling it, oh, it's a Russian Pearl Harbor. | ||
| Yo, how did Pearl Harbor eventually end? | ||
| The attackers were basically burned alive. | ||
| Curtis LeMay, after he finished destroying industrial Germany, he went over with conventional Bombers and napalm. | ||
| In low-altitude flights, Kyoto and Tokyo, he burned virtually to the ground. | ||
| The damage they had was as bad as the damage for a nuclear weapon. | ||
| That wasn't in one weapons package. | ||
| Then we dropped two nukes, not one, two. | ||
| They were not convinced. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| They were not convinced after the first nuclear weapon, eh, I think we'll hang in there. | ||
| This is what happens. | ||
| You go from unrestricted warfare to the kind of political warfare, the PSYOP, and political warfare, and you're going to see that tonight. | ||
| What are we going to show you starting at 6 o 'clock? | ||
| It'll be 7 in Seoul, and I think we've got Mina Kim is now there. | ||
| I think Mina, Grace has been working with her. | ||
| I think Mina may actually be at a polling station. | ||
| Don't know, but she's going to try. | ||
| And I want to show people, this is what political warfare is. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party worked on this one for a long time. | ||
| They have a party. | ||
| They control their people. | ||
| They're Chinese over there right now. | ||
| Chinese. | ||
| Helping the party win. | ||
| 70 years ago, we have an ally that the war is not over. | ||
| They don't have a deal. | ||
| It's kind of an abeyance. | ||
| Both sides put their guns down. | ||
| And given all the valor and the bravery of both, of both the South Korean army and the South Korean people, and man, that was brutal. | ||
| Korea is the forgotten war. | ||
| It's not talked about enough. | ||
| And Korea is a dagger at the heart of Japan and a dagger at the heart of Taiwan. | ||
| Tonight, tomorrow, by tomorrow night at this show, unless we can pull off a miracle, and this miracle will be 5x what Poland was. | ||
| Poland was kind of a dead heat. | ||
| We were always losing. | ||
| It was kind of a dead heat. | ||
| And this is why I think Matt Schlapp and the team provided the energy, got the media, got people down there, got the animal juices flowing, went into a part of Poland that you had to get massive turnout and got it and pulled it off. | ||
| And a hat tip to Matt Schlapp and the entire CPAC crew that went over there and also the people in Poland worked with them. | ||
| We may pull this out in Korea. | ||
| I'm not feeling it. | ||
| I don't feel the urgency. | ||
| I don't see the energy. | ||
| Something's up there. | ||
| This will be a major strategic loss. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party would have pulled off on political warfare. | ||
| And then, of course, after you got that, you've got the economic warfare. | ||
| Then you slide to the kinetic war, which is what they want us to slide into now. | ||
| And then you get into the unconditional, not unrestricted, unconditional warfare, where there's no conditions. | ||
| And it just goes to annihilation. | ||
| And why? | ||
| because people get tired. | ||
| This is part of what you're seeing in Because there's a million and a half casualties on both sides. | ||
| And on the Ukrainian side, there's tons of civilians and people get angry. | ||
| They want vengeance. | ||
| They want vengeance. | ||
| What do you think Gaza is? | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Look at that nightmare. | ||
| What do you think that's about? | ||
| These don't get better. | ||
| They only get worse. | ||
| We're getting sucked into this. | ||
| And once we get sucked into it, You've got to not get in. | ||
| And to have a country like Ukraine that pulled this off, and if they didn't come to the White House and ask permission to do it, then that's all you need to know. | ||
| They've got to go. | ||
| Cut them off. | ||
| You've got to condemn it, and you've got to cut them off. | ||
| The New York Post is sitting there, and the New York Post, look, they've got smart guys over there saying, hey, this is what you need to bring. | ||
| Putin back to the table. | ||
| What we need to bring Putin back to the table is to start getting serious about his partner. | ||
| Everything was going the right way until May 7th, 8th, and 9th. | ||
| And what was that? | ||
| Oh, that was the commemoration. | ||
| We told you that was a big deal. | ||
| Everything's changed since then. | ||
| They had three days to kind of buddy around. | ||
| This is what happened in 2019. | ||
| They had three days to buddy around, and guess what? | ||
| It came out of there, and the Chinese have been non-participants. | ||
| Scott Besson admitted today or yesterday on the talk shows. | ||
| They haven't really been engaged for a couple of weeks. | ||
| Oh, and then President Trump dropped the bomb. | ||
| Oh, and all the agreements we had in Geneva from a couple of weeks ago, they haven't lived up to any of them. | ||
| They haven't lived up to any of them. | ||
| They're the ones driving this. | ||
| They're the senior partner. | ||
| And now they're going to see with this political victory, if it happens tomorrow, and listen, there are a lot of people working around the clock to make sure that the conservative party in South Korea wins. | ||
| I'm just not feeling the energy, but praying for a victory here. | ||
| Because if we lose through political warfare without a shot being fired, horrible consequences. | ||
| You're going to see, I think, the entire timetable pulled up, pulled forward this way to an invasion of Taiwan. | ||
| And why do I say that? | ||
| Because I was with the Seventh Fleet. | ||
| What the Chinese are doing now are not military exercises. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| This is rehearsals. | ||
| This is what our team in England In that wet and cold spring, winter and spring of 1944 we're doing to get ready for the landings in Normandy and all the different rehearsals they were doing for Normandy. | ||
| This is beyond just some military exercise to figure out how to do things and work in coordination. | ||
| This is actually where you have points, boom, boom, boom. | ||
| Here's what we're going to do. | ||
| Here's the timetable. | ||
| Here's what's going to happen. | ||
| Here's where the plane's got to be. | ||
| Here's where the amphibs have got to be. | ||
| Here's what the Americans are going to do. | ||
| They're doing rehearsals for an invasion of Taiwan. | ||
| And if you have no interest in Taiwan, no interest in the Taiwanese people, no interest in democracy, that's fine. | ||
| That's 100% fine. | ||
| It's not a problem. | ||
| There's only one hitch. | ||
| Essentially, our economy runs off the advanced chips that come out of that island. | ||
| The plants and the design and all of it. | ||
| And as much as we try to get it here, and we're making huge progress in places like Arizona, in places like Ohio, that's a decade away, and probably 20 years away from being ramped up. | ||
| We're inexorably getting drawn into this, and it's like World War I and World War II. | ||
| you see what's going to happen and you can't stop it. | ||
| One way to stop it, We're coming for you. | ||
| Short break. | ||

Short break. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay, I got Costello and Koffer. | ||
| I'm going to start with Costello. | ||
| The importance of South Korea, besides the moral and, you know, we've been their allies. | ||
| Well, the Korean people through World War II and obviously in the Korean War all the way through it. | ||
| I spent a lot of time in Korea, had business in Korea, had partners in Korea, served in the military over when I was in the Navy in Korea. | ||
| Fantastic people. | ||
| I can't tell you how good the Korean people are. | ||
| What a great country. | ||
| And tough people, but kind. | ||
| Tough but kind. | ||
| But also a major strategic partner with strategic assets, particularly technology. | ||
| Costello in Korea and Taiwan. | ||
| Importance to the United States of America, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, let's start with, you know, the election coming up here, Korea, Steve. | |
| So there's two companies, Samsung and SK Hynix in Korea, that make something called high band with memory, which high band, there's two things. | ||
| Well, there's a bunch of things, but there's two real things you need to make this. | ||
| AI and a lot of the new technologies we're working, you need the high bandwidth memory and you also need the chips and the semiconductors. | ||
| So think, I'm simplifying it, but think data sits in the memory and then the semiconductors do the math right around this AI stuff. | ||
| So we have 70% of the high bandwidth memory requires from South Korea. | ||
| So if you have the CCP inserts their influence now on this election. | ||
| And has stronger leadership aligned with them. | ||
| We're not only dealing with our chips and semiconductors, which everybody knows is made in Taiwan, but we're dealing with the high bandwidth memory that's in South Korea. | ||
| And then, as you've seen a lot in the news over the weekend, the rare earths, which is where China backed down on their agreement earlier, that goes into making these things. | ||
| So the underlying substrates that run a lot of the technology we're talking about reinventing manufacturing on ends up controlled or influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And people, this is what I say, forget any allegiance, any love for, association with, democracy, anything like that. | ||
| Just real politic dealing with the American economy. | ||
| If we lose access to this, if the Chinese Communist Party controls South Korea and controls Taiwan, how big a hit is that on the post-industrial digital economy of the United States of America, sir? | ||

It's everything. | |
| It takes away all our leverage. | ||
| You know, we're looking at, you know, a lot of these new announcements have been AI related in the Middle East. | ||
| There have been, you know, the partnership there in the Middle East, Taiwan Semiconductor Building in Arizona. | ||
| As you mentioned, like all this stuff requires rare earths. | ||
| It requires semiconductors from Taiwan and it requires high bandwidth memory from South Korea. | ||
| So it's no wonder that, you know, Secretary Boston is having trouble and they're having trouble negotiating with the Chinese. | ||
| They feel like they have us. | ||
| They're certainly going to wait and see how this election plays out in South Korea and what their negotiation points are. | ||
| As Hegseth talked about it over the weekend, these aren't drills. | ||
| This is getting very serious in Taiwan. | ||
| Hexeth over the weekend said the assault of Chinese was imminent, caused a total meltdown in Singapore where he did it. | ||
| You hang on, Brian, but one question I've got is... | ||
| The Chinese looked it over and said, we'll let the Americans sweat for a while. | ||
| Is that the correct take on things? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you know, it's funny. | |
| Rare earths aren't actually that rare, right? | ||
| Like we have a lot of them here. | ||
| But the refinement capabilities of these rare earths, to turn them into magnets and all these things, that is largely dominated by China now. | ||
| This is an industry in China made in 2025. | ||
| Ironically, what's the year? | ||
| 2025, they chose that they were going to dominate price competitors out of the market, put state capital in and make sure the refinement of these rare earths and critical minerals that they took leadership in so they controlled it. | ||
| You know, and unfortunately, we haven't had huge efforts there in the U.S. Rebecca Koffler, it appears to us that things changed after the 80th commemoration when she and Putin were able to hang out. | ||
| For a couple of days. | ||
| That's the railhead of what this, the actions of the CCP and the actions of the KGB and the rulers of Russia seem to be pretty hardcore. | ||
| Do you believe now that we're in a kinetic war, given what happened over the weekend? | ||
| Do you believe now the United States has actually been dragged into where we can't deny it anymore? | ||
| A kinetic war with the Russians, ma 'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| We are no longer in a proxy war with Russia. | ||
| The United States is now officially in a direct kinetic war with Moscow because of how Russia looks that thing. | ||
| Ukraine has no indigenous capability to execute this. | ||
| Tactically brilliant operation that doesn't have satellites. | ||
| It cannot geolocate these strategic nuclear bombers, right? | ||
| that those bombers are reserved to wage nuclear war and Ukraine just attacked them. | ||
| And that came right after Ukraine tried to assassinate | ||
| And so right now, because the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation that Putin actually updated late last year, because he has noticed that we are consistently climbing this escalation ladder, it has a clause of a joint attack. | ||
| And so they are looking at this attack. | ||
| That it is enabled by the United States. | ||
| And that is a danger. | ||
| We are climbing very steadily the escalation ladder, and we're probably going But it's my official intelligence assessment that we have climbed up more than 50% at this point. | ||
| And the danger is here. | ||
| At first, it goes pretty gradually. | ||
| But then after you cross a certain threshold, it goes very, very fast into cyber warfare, space warfare, and then all the way into the nuclear. | ||
| And every single war game that we conducted back in the intelligence community, and we conducted dozens of them, and I led some of the red teams, it ended up in a nuclear war. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Blue lost and red won. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Putin has a playbook. | ||
| He has been planning for it. | ||
| It's all, you know, very well thought through. | ||
| And we don't. | ||
| We don't have the response because instead of actually targeting Russia and neutralizing the threat, the deep state of the U.S. intelligence community was chasing the non-existent Russia-Trump collusion. | ||
| So they weren't doing their job. | ||
| They were trying to unseat President Trump. | ||
| And that's what happened. | ||
| That's why we are almost in World War III right now. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Because once it starts, China, North Korea, Iran, whom are they going to side? | ||
| They're going to side with Russia. | ||
| And that is why. | ||
| It's not just Russian nuclear arsenal. | ||
| It's China. | ||
| You're adding all the capability that's going to be all combined and used against the United States. | ||
| What did Putin mean when he said, by the way, the symbolism of the Turkish fiasco today where it basically lasted 30 minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What does that tell us? | |
| Well, that tells us that President Trump's peace plan, unfortunately, has been sabotaged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It has been sabotaged by Zelensky, whom we actually have given billions of dollars, right? | |
| very, very strategic military hardware having depleted our own arsenal. | ||
| And it has been sabotaged by the deep state because at a piece, as though President Trump didn't even know about Ukrainian. | ||
| And he didn't even know about this reckless strike on Russian nuclear bombers that Ukraine just executed. | ||
| And so, therefore, there's nothing to talk. | ||
| What is there to talk about, right? | ||
| So Putin is almost certainly right now thinking through what it is that he is going to do, because his decision calculus is right now based on... | ||
| I'll tell you exactly what the joint attack clause says. | ||
| It says any aggression against Russia or its allies by a non-nuclear state, i.e. | ||
| Ukraine, with the participation or support of a nuclear power, which is us, will be seen. | ||
| As the joint attack on Russia. | ||
| And so, they are likely, right now, developing targeting packages and deciding what is it that they're going to attack. | ||
| I absolutely do not rule out the possibility of attacking, of the Russians actually attacking, at this point, a NATO country. | ||
| They wouldn't have done it if Ukrainians didn't do that, right? | ||
| But right now, the doctrine justifies this action. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong, TASS reported last week. | ||
| Now, it is TASS, but it's the official propaganda. | ||
| They reported last week, I think Thursday, when Mertz and those guys got the trip set up after they found this out, TASS said the Russian military was actively looking at targets in Berlin. | ||
| Did they not, ma 'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Tess absolutely said it, and you're correct. | |
| So it is a state official news. | ||
| You can't really call it news agency anymore than you can call New York Times at this point and independent media. | ||
| They are signaling to us. | ||
| They are signaling, don't go there, de-escalate, de-escalate. | ||
| And if, let's say, President Trump gets on the phone right now with Putin, they could potentially work something out. | ||
| Because Putin right now believes, likely, almost certainly, that actually President Trump was in on it, that he knew. | ||
| Because why does he think that way? | ||
| He thinks that way because President Trump posted on his Truth Social that Putin is crazy and that bad things could happen to Russia. | ||
| And that came right after Merz's revelation that there were no longer any limitations on Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia. | ||
| And so that's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| I think President Trump said, I don't know what happened to him. | ||
| He's acting crazy. | ||
| He's playing with fire. | ||
| And then he implied that bad things could happen. | ||
| And you're saying that they probably took that as he had some understanding. | ||
| When Putin comes out and says, hey, we're not going to hit right away, we're going to fully investigate this and make sure that we have accountability, we understand, of Ukraine. | ||
| And beyond. | ||
| When he says and beyond, how should Americans read that, ma 'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, well, first I just want to reiterate that we, both the United States and Europe, are right now in Putin's nuclear crosshairs because Zelensky placed us there. | |
| According to the Russian doctrine. | ||
| So right now, Putin is trying to decide. | ||
| He's usually very measured. | ||
| Have you noticed that he hasn't really, you know, being emotional about any of this, right? | ||
| So right now we should interpret it that they are looking at Will it be necessarily nuclear? | ||
| No, not right off the bat, because it's a slow progression, because every single step that Putin takes on the escalation ladder in response to either us or Ukrainians escalating, he is telegraphing. | ||
| De-escalate, de-escalate. | ||
| So, and they have capabilities right now. | ||
| Such as the Oresnik hypersonic missile, which is dual capable, right? | ||
| It can be outfitted either with a conventional warhead or with a nuclear warhead. | ||
| And not only we, the United States or Europe, have an answer to that. | ||
| We can't. | ||
| Ballistic missile defense cannot really protect us from that because it's, for example, it's a ICBM disguised as an IRBM. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| We'll take a short comment. | ||

| Hopefully get an interview with Mike tomorrow. | ||
| I couldn't do it this morning because too much hustling over there to court. | ||
| Brian, I'm going to hold you, because I've got more about artificial intelligence and the CCP, what's going on. | ||
| Rebecca Koffler, I just want to be very clear with the audience. | ||
| And we've got a couple of minutes here. | ||
| Just once again, and do it in a minute or so, the joint attack doctrine, this joint attack doctrine the Russians have, if attacked by a non-nuclear power, because they've got a bunch of them over there in Eastern Europe, if attacked by a non-nuclear power that they feel they can prove is backed by a nuclear power, they consider that then an attack, even if not directly, an attack by that nuclear power. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Ukraine does not have its indigenous capability. | |
| The United States and NATO are enabling it. | ||
| And it is very, very serious, Steve. | ||
| Every single war game has shown that that's where it's going. | ||
| I personally briefed just last summer the Space Forces that President Trump stood up, right? | ||
| And they have a mission of protecting the United States. | ||
| They and our strategic command, who has our nuclear weapons and is charged. | ||
| And they are very, very worried about it. | ||
| So the first thing right now that needs to happen, President Trump needs to get on the phone with Putin and explain to him, as embarrassing as it may be, that he was not aware of it. | ||
| He needs to cancel all support for Ukraine because Zelensky is reckless. | ||
| He's putting us on a nuclear keg with hundreds of thousands of TNT, right? | ||
| When you say he's reckless, when you say he's reckless, he's got Lindsey Graham over there saying, he said, President Trump says you have no cards, but the House and the Senate are about to do their own round of sanctions. | ||
| And the Ukrainian people are sitting there looking at one of the senior most hawks, neocons in the Senate. | ||
| I mean, what are they to believe? | ||
| They see a senior American. | ||
| With the situation in Wiesbaden where you have that base where the New York Times reported German intelligence and American intelligence were running the Ukraine war, if the Russians do target Berlin with non-nuclear forces, just those rockets, kind of a, hey, you got us, we'll get you, does that trigger Article 5 in NATO that everyone must come to the common defense of Germany, ma 'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, that exactly. | |
| So that's how we are getting dragged in. | ||
| We are already there. | ||
| Not only that, right now, on Ukrainian territory, not only there are 12 CIA bases with U.S. intelligence officers, military officers, training Ukrainians how to kill Russians, there's also a NATO combat training center in something called Yavoriv, which is a military-industrial complex that is also filled. | ||
| with the U.S. forces. | ||
| We have New York National Guard. | ||
| We have Tennessee. | ||
| We have Florida National Guard rotating and, again, training Ukrainians. | ||
| So if you strike that base, right, if Russia does, even though Ukraine technically is not a part of NATO, so Article 5 does not necessarily get triggered, So it kind of gets very squirrely. | ||
| So Putin might go up to that one because there's no—he likes to be kind of very, like, nebulous. | ||
| He likes to be very precise in terms of, like, following the doctrine. | ||
| But that would give them the opportunity. | ||
| So that's the concern. | ||
| But bottom line, neither the United States nor Russia wants to go into nuclear war. | ||
| Putin does not want nuclear war because there'll be no winners. | ||
| He said it many, many times. | ||
| But as every single war game showed us, You actually brought up Lindsey Graham. | ||
| That's another loose cannon who keeps saying how Putin cannot remain in power. | ||
| He's this, he's that. | ||
| But remember, the Russians have been watching Washington's playbook. | ||
| A quarter of a century, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, beginning all the way with Yugoslavia. | ||
| How do they interpret Lindsey Graham's language? | ||
| Regime change. | ||
| They think that we are coming after Putin, especially after the assassination attempt. | ||
| So, do we think Putin is just going to sit and wait? | ||
| No. | ||
| So unintentionally, something is going to happen. | ||
| Something will get triggered. | ||
| Every single law starts that way. | ||
| Nobody wants it, but we get it. | ||
| The law of unintended consequences. | ||
| Rebecca, real quickly, social media, where do people go to get your information and your writings? | ||

| It's important we get the truth out. | ||
| You are one of very few. | ||
| Outlets that are letting the truth coming out. | ||
| I'm pretty much canceled from legacy media. | ||
| Fox News, CNN, don't cover this. | ||
| Americans have no idea how close we are to nuclear war. | ||
| Rebecca Koffler, thank you very much. | ||
