| On the right, we have a big difference of opinion here, but unlike the left, we're not afraid to show it. | ||
| And you know all the players involved. | ||
| So I guess I've got to ask you, I want to talk about that thing. | ||
| Should it matter that the mood of America, they voted for a guy who wanted to concentrate on America first. | ||
| We got the guy in, and now we're here almost participating in a war. | ||
| How do you explain that, say, to your MAGA friends, you know, the Tuckers and the Bannons? | ||
| You know, or then you have the other side, the Rubios and the Mike Waltzes. | ||
| How do you what do you say? | ||
| So I observed America first up front and personal in term one. | ||
| And what I learned about President Trump, he's a man of action, not words. | ||
| He's not a Navelle Chamberlain. | ||
| He is a Churchill. | ||
| He is not someone who sits in a beach chair and lets history happen to him. | ||
| He makes history. | ||
| He acts strategically. | ||
| He acts when it's in our interest. | ||
| When he took out Soleimani. | ||
| When he took out al-Baghdadi, when he acted in Syria when they used chemical weapons on their own people, every dictator in the world observed that. | ||
| And you know what happened? | ||
| Putin, for the first time in four presidencies, did not invade a sovereign country. | ||
| The last and final year of his presidency, not a single American troop ISIS dismantled. | ||
| He's not words, he is action. | ||
| How is Bannon and the folks that you mentioned and the people advocating for just sitting back and taking it easy, how are they any different than Biden's foreign policy? | ||
| Biden's foreign policy was, I say don't. | ||
| And Putin does. | ||
| I say don't, and the Taliban takes over Afghanistan. | ||
| I say don't, and two global wars start on my watch. | ||
| That is the Biden foreign policy. | ||
| That is by no definition America first. | ||
| Iran has had five decades, five decades, almost half a century to talk. | ||
| And what they've done instead, kill 609 American troops in Iraq. | ||
| What they've done is put an assassination plot on President Trump's head. | ||
| What they've done is take American hostages and wreak havoc. | ||
| America first is not sitting in a beach chair and using words. | ||
| It's taking decisive action when we can take out Fordow for one swoop of an airplane. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot. | ||
| 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? | ||
| 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. | ||
| Tuesday, 17 June, Year of the Lord, 2025. | ||
| I think you just saw there, and I think it's perfectly laid out. | ||
| That's the type of infantile thinking that gets you into situations like Iraq for 20 years, Afghanistan for 20 years, and to be sucked in here. | ||
| Certainly, we support President Trump's actions, but the actions don't always have to be with the Israeli military. | ||
| There's many forms of actions, and President Trump's been taking action. | ||
| He's an action, action, action guy. | ||
| He does not sit around in a beach chair. | ||
| But to sit there and say all the action has got to be kinetic and have to be something that, let's be blunt, we haven't been dealt straight with. | ||
| You've got amazing reporting coming out of the Wall Street Journal today, the New York Times, other places that are multi-source and have not been refuted by the White House, talking about this difference in intelligence information, what came on, how this process went down. | ||
| And you get kinetic in this situation. | ||
| Because what the Israelis are looking for is regime change. | ||
| Let's be blunt. | ||
| That's not about the nuclear program. | ||
| Let's have an adult conversation. | ||
| Not sit there and rattle off talking points. | ||
| And I think Greg Gutfeld set that thing up perfectly. | ||
| There is a big difference of opinion here. | ||
| It's not that people don't support the president and say, this is America first, the president doing that. | ||
| No. | ||
| Everybody supports the president. | ||
| He's got the toughest job in the world, particularly with all the... | ||
| And, you know, we do think you've got to triage what the important things are. | ||
| We don't think. | ||
| And as much as Fox News wants to beat the toxins exactly like they did in Afghanistan, exactly like they did in Iraq, this is just a replay. | ||
| Now, they've got to play some catch-up ball. | ||
| They've got to play some quick catch-up because people, they haven't had a chance to just beat the drums over a couple of years like they did leading up to March, 19 March of 2003. | ||
| Shock and awe. | ||
| Which they were all beating themselves, pounding on the chest, how great it was. | ||
| And then you saw how he got sucked in there day after day, week after week, for what, 10, 15, 20 years? | ||
| Seven trillion dollars? | ||
| If you look at the debt that our country has, nine trillion dollars associated with Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||
| That may be able to be avoided. | ||
| President Trump and J.D.'s got a good post up. | ||
| If, Grace, you would put that up. | ||
| In trying to answer some questions about the intelligence, particularly what Tulsi Gabbard said a while ago, the president has been very consistent, and we've been consistent on the show, that the Persians cannot have a nuclear weapon, right? | ||
| The mullahs are too crazy. | ||
| That is a given. | ||
| Now there's certain ways to get to your objective. | ||
| What we find very disturbing is that this looks like, and I'll just say it bluntly, it looks like a way that Netanyahu, to save his premaritalism, And we had people go back and look at last night. | ||
| Yuram Hazani kind of corrected me. | ||
| He said, no, he wasn't at 30%. | ||
| He's 51%. | ||
| We went back and did the research and it sounded like before he started this bombing campaign, he had like 60 or 70% of the people wanting to toss out. | ||
| He's clearly been in political problems. | ||
| He saw this as a solution. | ||
| And it's not to say that the Persians are not a solution and it's not a problem. | ||
| It's not to say that their nuclear weapons program was not a big problem. | ||
| But he even said the other night on Fox News that it would be 12 to 13 months before they had a weapon. | ||
| Okay, 12 to 13 months, did you have to go last Thursday? | ||
| Did that have to happen? | ||
| That question still hasn't been answered to us. | ||
| And now President Trump's got to work through all the alternatives. | ||
| And we are pre-positioning assets, major assets, naval and air assets in the region. | ||
| To give the president an option, a potential military option. | ||
| Also, I think it puts enormous leverage and allows him to negotiate even better. | ||
| And President Trump said at the whole beginning of this that he didn't want to get into any more foreign wars and more forever wars, but he was very precise in the campaign trail, but even more when he took the presidency. | ||
| This is what the engagement with the Russians to try to have a stand-down In Ukraine, this is why he cut the economic deal with Ukraine. | ||
| This is why he's been on Gaza as much as he doesn't like it, as much as he told Bibi time and again, you've got to get this thing done. | ||
| You can't just drag it out. | ||
| As much as he said, hey, with the Persians, with the Iranians, I'm going to negotiate. | ||
| And I think he feels that they were trying to tap him along and he's not going to be tapped along. | ||
| So this is quite complex, but we just can't put... | ||
| He laid it out pretty well, I think. | ||
| But, you know, we don't watch a lot of Fox, but we've been watching it nonstop for the last couple of days because our production crew is amazed by Lindsey Graham. | ||
| He's like a character out of The Simpsons. | ||
| He's just up there, like a little dog, yammering all the time, just spitting this vitriol that you've got to go tonight, you have to go today. | ||
| First, I'm not so sure how much of their nuclear program, I realize Fordora has not been taken down, but I'm not so sure how much of their military infrastructure even exists. | ||
| The Israelis have air supremacy over Tehran right now. | ||
| Air supremacy. | ||
| And the Iranians keep talking about these ballistic missile assaults they're going to do. | ||
| Well, maybe they are. | ||
| But at least the ones, it looks like they are declining over time. | ||
| The Israelis have said that they've got air superiority. | ||
| I think air supremacy. | ||
| Over the airspace in Persia, which I think is a big shock to the people in Tehran, right? | ||
| So I'm not even sure when you negotiate on the nuclear side, I'm not even sure how much is left. | ||
| I think it looks like they're pushing now for regime change, which is this unconditional surrender. | ||
| Just remember, we don't want to be drawn in to Persia for the next 20 years, particularly when President Trump is making some, just at the very moment you're winning. | ||
| Well, this is why we had so much economic news in the first hour. | ||
| Look, there are really good things coming out of President Trump's policies. | ||
| You can see it in the math. | ||
| Scott Best and the team over Treasury, working with the NEC, working with President Trump, working with Peter Navarro. | ||
| The deals are coming together. | ||
| You're starting to see some manufacturing come back. | ||
| You're seeing the growth in wages. | ||
| Everything President Trump did in the first term, when the CCP... | ||
| That's what they viewed and to come after him and take him out. | ||
| First with the pandemic starting in late 2019 and into the 2020. | ||
| And now we know and we've got Ava on here in a little while. | ||
| He's going to talk about how John Solomon and there's more breaking news on that. | ||
| John Solomon has has cash is put out where the CCP was trying to get directly involved into the into the mail-in ballot situation because they saw just like we saw on the show. | ||
| The simplest way to do this was through the mail-in ballots. | ||
| Yes, you could have machines. | ||
| We're just not a machine guy for the simple reason that the machines have always struck me as way too complicated for what they're supposed to do. | ||
| So there probably is something there. | ||
| But there's such a simple solution in the mail-in ballots, and you saw where the CCP thought the same thing. | ||
| Why? | ||
| To take out President Trump. | ||
| Well, President Trump's on a roll again, and plus, it's so much different than the first term. | ||
| Remember the first time we ran, it was about securing the border and building a wall and everything that had to happen there. | ||
| We had not had an invasion by the U.S. government that allowed, I don't know, 10 to 20 million illegal alien invaders here in the country. | ||
| And you see what happens when ICE tries to go and to try to make these rage right now. | ||
| First off, ICE is too much in its old mindset. | ||
| And I get that from people that are working with them saying, hey, they're great people, but they've got this old mindset that you've got to get an order, you've got to go to the house three or four times, you have to take photographs. | ||
| It takes forever and 20 agents to get one guy out. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| Not when you've got 10 to 20 million. | ||
| You have to have mass deportations. | ||
| You've got to go round them up. | ||
| Let's roll. | ||
| We're winning on that. | ||
| This civil war they've decided in the streets, they're not winning. | ||
| Politically, you saw Steve Cortez's numbers. | ||
| That is one of the most important polls that's been done. | ||
| And it's a good poll. | ||
| It's a solid poll. | ||
| A very good poll, in fact. | ||
| And the numbers blow you away. | ||
| I mean, these are numbers with sixes in front of it. | ||
| Of support from Hispanics, from middle class, from the working class, right? | ||
| From young voters, from old voters. | ||
| Boom, they support mass deportations. | ||
| And we can't take our eye off that. | ||
| At the very moment, we're winning on the most important front, which is here in the United States, to make sure we repel the invaders. | ||
| On top of it, we have this whole complexity on this bill that's going to come up. | ||
| And obviously, there's a couple of speed bumps in this thing that have to be addressed. | ||
| You can't divert your attention. | ||
| People, the public only have so much, you know, and it's not any one individual in the public. | ||
| The public collectively can only deal with so many major things at one time. | ||
| And now you're adding a lot of complexity. | ||
| So, and the president's looking at alternatives. | ||
| People should know that. | ||
| But they're just not down on, this is people sitting at the beach and it's action, action, action. | ||
| Let's go bomb. | ||
| That's kind of, Kayleigh, no offense, and I realize you went to Harvard, so we won't hold it against you. | ||
| Kayleigh, a lot of people know, is a graduate of Harvard Law School. | ||
| It's just not, let's go bomb some stuff because we want action. | ||
| You have to think it through and you have to think it downrange. | ||
| The last thing this country wants, the last thing President Trump wants, It's to be dealing with a massive humanitarian crisis on another failed Middle East regime, like in Syria. | ||
| This is 10x what Syria is. | ||
| That collapses, and all of a sudden they're calling for the United States, humanitarian. | ||
| Look what's happening in Gaza when they're calling the United States to do something. | ||
| That is one one-hundredth of what Persia will be. | ||
| Right? | ||
| What will Persia will be? | ||
| And so we have to be very, very, very, you have to really think this thing through. | ||
| And that's where President Trump has spent so much time on it. | ||
| That's where he's going to the National Security Council. | ||
| That's where he flew back. | ||
| President Trump is not, he ain't going to jump into this. | ||
| He's going to think it through. | ||
| And even when he takes an action, he's going to want optionality off that action, other options. | ||
| That's the way he negotiates. | ||
| That's the way he rolls. | ||
| Today is very important. | ||
| I've got one of my favorite people here, Patrick O'Donnell. | ||
| It's the 250th anniversary of one of the most important days in our history, the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
|

|
Let's go. | |
| We've got a cold open for Patrick O'Donnell, and then we'll bring him in. | ||
| Let's rip. | ||

The 250th anniversary of the founding of America is just a year away. | |
| The battle for independence began right here in Massachusetts. | ||
| And this weekend marks 250 years since the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
| And we're going to introduce you to the reenactors set to bring the battle to life in present day. | ||
| We're in the 250th, obviously, the American Revolution right now, and it all started right here. | ||
| I'm Israel Putnam, and I will be commanding the provincial forces here in the colony. | ||
| They called him Old Put. | ||
| He was 57 at the time. | ||
| Israel Putnam was an experienced soldier. | ||
| He was born up on the North Shore, moved to Connecticut, but he had served during the French and Indian War, so he was an experienced officer when the revolution happened. | ||
| At the Battle of Bunker Hill, he technically was in charge at the actual battle. | ||
| My name's Eric Chetland. | ||
| I've been a reenactor for about 49 years. | ||
| My father actually started during the bicentennial when all the towns around here had militia groups and were celebrating, obviously, the 200. | ||
| And so he made it a family thing. | ||
| If you think of Boston in 1775, it's under occupation by the British Army. | ||
| So there's actually a siege, right? | ||
| We've had Lexington and Concord, the shot heard around the world, and the militia from all the surrounding colonies have come together and formed a siege line around Boston, trapping the British in the city. | ||
| Shoulder, your fireworks! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Artemis Ward, overall provincial commander, ordered Israel Putnam and several groups, including William Prescott's regiment, to go to Bunker Hill. | |
| Build a redoubt, fortify the place so that the British could not just come and easily take it. | ||
| The British don't realize they're there yet. | ||
| In the morning as the sun rises, the harbor is filled with British ships and the HMS Lively is one of them. | ||
| They suddenly see the fort and start opening fire on the fort. | ||
| From there, a general cannonade starts to form on the British side where they're now firing at the fort. | ||
| So that's sort of the opening of the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
| Cease fire! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Israel survived, and he went on to do more things in the American Revolution. | |
| Shortly after Bunker Hill, George Washington arrives. | ||
| The Continental Congress has decided that we don't need a New England army, we need a continental or U.S. equivalent army. | ||
| Washington takes charge of that, which leads to the birth of the modern American army. | ||
| We're here to tell their story. | ||
| If you can walk away with a little bit of the story and you go, oh, I didn't know that about that, that's our goal. | ||
| We're representing those stories. | ||
| We're representing those stories. | ||
| Okay, one of your many areas of expertise, Patrick K. O'Donnell is initialed the formation of the United States Army. | ||
| We commemorated the birth of it on Saturday, the 250th birthday. | ||
| And now the Battle of Bunker Hill. | ||
| Walk me through this, sir. | ||
| What happened at Bunker Hill? | ||
| The nascent American army took on one of the toughest armies in the world, the British Army at the time. | ||
| Walk us through what happened on this day. | ||
| Members of my family were at Lexington and Concord, and they fought the militia, the Minutemen. | ||
| They fight the... | ||
| And then what happens is there's a siege around Boston. | ||
| And, you know, more than 10,000 patriots descend on Boston and siege it and cut off land access to Boston. | ||
| And it's at this point in the summer that a stalemate takes place. | ||
| And then it's on June 14th, 1775, where Congress makes the extraordinary step of appointing a commander-in-chief, that's General George Washington, and then forms ten rifle companies. | ||
| These are the greatest badasses in America. | ||
| These are men from the backwoods that can shoot and aim and put a ball in somebody's head at 200 and 300 yards. | ||
| And they're coming from, you know, seven companies are coming from Pennsylvania. | ||
| Two are coming from Virginia and one is coming from Maryland. | ||
| Pennsylvania, this is called a rage military, where the, you know, basically there is a war fever that takes place and everybody is enlisting. | ||
| And there are actually nine companies that form in Pennsylvania. | ||
| And they have to make that nearly 300-mile march on foot up the hill. | ||
| And as they're doing that, the Battle of Bunker Hill takes place. | ||
| And this is a situation where the British receive reinforcements. | ||
| General Gage receives reinforcements in the form of General Howe and thousands of British regulars. | ||
| And they're trying to basically improve their position around Boston and take the high ground. | ||
| And one of those positions is Bunker Hill, because Charleston overlooks the city of Boston, and from there they realize that the Patriots can take artillery and actually bombard Boston itself. | ||
| So on the 17th, they plan to attack. | ||
| The Patriots get word that that is going to happen, and they move in and start to fortify the high ground. | ||
| They build a redoubt, and then they move in. | ||
| You know, nearly 2,000, a little more than 2,000 men to hold off the British assault that takes place late in the morning of June 17th, 1775. | ||
| So talk to me about the 2000, because the newly formed Continental Army. | ||
| By the way, what's the French term for war fever? | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| Rage military. | ||
| It's called what? | ||
| Rage Militaire. | ||
| Rage Militaire. | ||
| I'm stealing one from Patrick K. O'Donnell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a situation where there's War Fever. | |
| I think a little bit of that's going around Washington, D.C. right now, Patrick K. O'Donnell. | ||
| Never was the enlistments better and easier than in the summer of 1775, and then it became a hell of a lot harder as you have eight years of long war. | ||
| With the American Revolution against the greatest power in the world. | ||
| But at Bunker Hill, you have Minutemen and basically militia companies that form that are going to hold this high ground on the morning of June 17th. | ||
| And what happens is the British have the greatest navy in the world. | ||
| They take their forges and they create hotshot. | ||
| They basically take their cannonballs and place them in forges, and then they fire upon the town of Charleston, which is at the neck or before Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill, and they fire Charleston. | ||
| So they're afraid of marksmen or snipers that could be in the building. | ||
| So they torch that place. | ||
| And then they begin to land. | ||
| And it's how that, you know, says, look – This should be easy ground for trained regulars to be able to disperse the rabble of the American militia at the time. | ||
| And it's Henry Clinton, who's his subordinate commander, who suggests that they cut off the neck and basically envelop the Americans. | ||
| But he's overruled. | ||
| And they plan initially what looks like a frontal assault. | ||
| But Howe is actually kind of planning to move towards the right in the Mystic River and then flank the Americans and attack the redoubt that's on the top of the hill. | ||
| They had dug in pretty well. | ||
| The 2000, give me a makeup. | ||
| We've got a couple minutes here. | ||
| Give me the makeup of the 2000 that had been put together. | ||
| These are the ones that trained down in Cambridge, right? | ||
| That had built down there. | ||
| You've got Connecticut. | ||
| You've got people from New Hampshire. | ||
| You've got people from the colonies in the north, primarily. | ||
| The southern men from the riflemen that I mentioned that are part of the Continental Army, those 10-plus companies, they won't arrive until the first week of August. | ||
| But the rest of these men are New Englanders, and they're hardy men. | ||
| And most of them are... | ||
| They had been in the French and Indian War. | ||
| They had fought in the provincial forces. | ||
| Many of them had actually been Rogers Rangers. | ||
| John Stark, for instance, been a member of Rogers Rangers. | ||
| So they're familiar with bush fighting and just fighting on their own. | ||
| And they're just tough, tough, you know, tough company commanders or, in some cases, battalion commanders. | ||
| Well, you talk about company and battalion commanders. | ||
| Remember, these people, like in the Civil War, these people had never really fought this type of complexity. | ||
| The next thing you know, they're thrown into it, and they perform pretty well. | ||
| Walker, you're a combat historian. | ||
| You don't do a lot of happy talk, you know, grand strategy. | ||
| You're a combat historian. | ||
| How intense was the British assault upon this redoubt, sir? | ||
| This was a situation where the British completely thought it was going to be a cakewalk. | ||
| At the beginning of the battle, that they were going to be able to overwhelm these Americans, these hicks that weren't able to fight is what they thought. | ||
| But they were soon given a taste of really bitter reality. | ||
| When Howe makes his first attack and he loses a tremendous number of his officers and men, they are just mowed down. | ||
| And he's continuing to pivot to the right. | ||
| It fails again. | ||
| And they make one last charge. | ||
| Well, hang on. | ||
| The reason the pivot didn't work, I want the audience to understand this, there was like a hail of gunfire. | ||
| I mean, the Americans, one thing they knew how to do was shoot and reload. | ||
| And I don't think the British were quite ready for that because they thought in combat that these farmers and, you know, these hicks would panic. | ||
| They didn't panic. | ||
| In fact, they were pretty steely-eyed. | ||
| That's what caught the British on the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The British couldn't do the traditional maneuvers. | |
| And John Stark tells his men to aim for the gators, to aim for their feet and their lower extremities, because they are on the high ground and they have to fire down. | ||
| There's a real danger in most cases where if you fire for the whites of their eyes, which may have been uttered. | ||
| But you will typically fire over their heads. | ||
| So they're aiming low and they're hitting their mark. | ||
| They're also aiming for the men with the epaulets. | ||
| The officers are taking out leadership positions. | ||
| But the real problem that they have, Steve, is a lack of gunpowder. | ||
| And this is something that George Washington is horrified when he arrives in Cambridge only a week or so later. | ||
| Several weeks later, there's only nine rounds per man that the army has. | ||
| They run out of gunpowder on the top of Reed's Hill, and they're able to repulse each one of these attacks, but they run out of powder. | ||
| And it's the lack of powder, the lack of supplies, that will change the course of the battle. | ||
| Hang on for one second, Patrick. | ||
| I'm going to hold you through the break. | ||
| And we've also got a very discussion we need to have about the Chinese Communist Party and what's happening in Persia. | ||
| Also, evidence now that the CCP, as we have said on this show from 2020, tried to step in and steal the election from President Trump because they looked at him as the singular worst figure to come up and take down that brutal dictatorship. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| The president's going through alternatives. | ||
| We don't know when he's going to put word out, but the president, you know, people are on TenorHercs, but this is the way the president rolls. | ||
| He's going to think this one through, not just going to jump on something, because he understands it's going to have 10, 20, 30-year impact. | ||
| Well, first of all, it will have a massive impact in history. | ||
| But just for this country, we're going to get sucked into. | ||
| So he's going to think that through. | ||
| That's why now... | ||
| In fact, Grace, if we can make that an archive so everybody can go on our site and get the article, you've got to read it because the Financial Times finally come to our conclusion that the central banks of the world are buying gold for a reason. | ||
| And the Chinese Communist Party's banks buying more than anybody. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So there's something up here. | ||
| And that's why the rear reset is so important. | ||
| That's what we're trying to teach you. | ||
| And this is now offered as part of a course to augment. | ||
| At colleges, particularly one of the big colleges, big state universities in the country, very proud to say. | ||

| End of the dollar empire. | ||
| The reason we call it the end of the dollar empire, we don't actually want it to be the end of the dollar empire unless we make a decision as a country that we don't want to be the prime reserve currency. | ||
| We could do that. | ||
| It would take us a while to unwind things. | ||
| It's one of the reasons we can actually have debt. | ||

|
I know people say, well, Bannon, why would we want that? | |
| Curiously, inquiring minds want to know. | ||
| Patrick, we've got to bounce, but you're a combat historian. | ||
| You don't do a lot of strategy. | ||
| You do combat about, and you do amazing first-person accounts because you go back and do the research. | ||
| I want everyone, I think both your books on the revolution are now on paperback. | ||
| Am I correct about that? | ||
| They are, Steve. | ||
| The Indispensables and Washington's Immortals are best-selling books, and you can get them on Amazon. | ||
| Five-star rating on Amazon, which is unheard of. | ||
| BarnesandNoble.com. | ||
| The Unvanquished is the Civil War story about special ops. | ||
| Story about what's happening right now today in the world. | ||
| The blend of special operations and intelligence and formation of color revolutions, all those things. | ||
| The Unvanquished tells that story. | ||
| A color revolution back in the Civil War. | ||
| Real quickly. | ||
| Your other book reads like it's like a movie script. | ||
| I think the Bremmer assignment. | ||
| You're going to do a tour this summer. | ||
| How do people find out about your tour you're going to do in the Swiss Alps? | ||
| It's at the Dolomites. | ||
| We were in the Dolomites, the shadow war of World War II. | ||
| It's where the OSS launched some of the great missions of the war. | ||
| This is the story of the real and glorious bastards. | ||
| Which I wrote about in the Brenner assignment in They Dared Return. | ||
| And I'm going on a scout trip to Italy and Austria. | ||
| And the tour will be in 2026. | ||
| It's an elite tour with the World War II Museum. | ||
| Wow. | ||

| Word of mouth. | ||
| Already a year in advance. | ||
| You're amazing. | ||

| Ava, John Solomon was on here this morning with breaking a story that, hey, we said absolutely this is happening, the CCP trying to get involved and throw the 2020 election against President Trump. | ||
| He's got another story out tonight that I think they're releasing the fact that intelligence agency or whatever tried to destroy information about this, evidence about this. | ||
| What happened in the cover-up are going to be huge. | ||
| Cash has been giving this information, putting it out. | ||
| John Selman's all over it. | ||
| Ava, give us your perspective. | ||
| You've been very adamant that the CCP was absolutely involved in trying to throw the 2020 election because they knew President Trump. | ||
| Was somebody who was going to have the back, not just the American people, but also Lao Bai Jing. | ||
| Your thoughts, ma 'am? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So first of all, there's two main parts of my answer. | ||
| First, look at those Southeast Asian countries. | ||
| The best example we just witnessed is South Korea. | ||
| What happened to those elections? | ||
| In those nations that has severe influence or controlled completely by the CCP, you will see power outage, you will see electronic system glitches, and you will see various innovative disruptions that... | ||
| That's exactly what happened. | ||
| So this is a pattern. | ||
| If you're looking at any countries that is pro-CCP and pro-Russia, you will see the same playbook and being played again and again. | ||
| Because, you know, simply put that way, the CCP does not have election. | ||
| We don't elect the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So they govern through deception and fraud. | ||
| Mess up with those nations that have elections. | ||
| That's what happened in 2020 election. | ||
| And I give you the best answer. | ||
| So if you really want to know whether the CCP is behind Biden's election in 2020, just look at what happened after Biden came into office. | ||
| Who is the most hated enemies in the United States of Chinese Xi Jinping? | ||
| I told you previously, there's five people that Xi Jinping hated the most. | ||
| And the number one is Trump. | ||
| President Trump. | ||
| The number two, Stephen Bannon, Peter Navarro, and Rudy Giuliani. | ||
| And the last one is Miles Cole. | ||
| So just look at the five of you, the fate, since Biden came into the power. | ||
| What happened to you? | ||
| I mean, think about the laptop from hell. | ||
| You have covered this topic in the countless interviews on this great broadcast that CCP feared the most. | ||
| The information about laptop from hell, the Hunter Biden laptop, was first broken out on GTV Media. | ||
| Okay, GTV media is alternative media. | ||
| It's anti-CCP media that was created by and supported by this follower of the whistleblower movement. | ||
| And you were briefly the director on the board of the GTV and Rudy Giuliani involved in the laptop, a Hunter Biden laptop. | ||
| And then guess what happened to all of you? | ||
| You went to jail and you have legal cases going on. | ||
| Peter Navarro went to jail. | ||
| Rudy Giuliani bankrupt. | ||
| Trump I mean, he's still facing, if all those cases against him are winning at the end, he's facing like hundreds of years in jail and Miles Guo today still sitting 825th day in jail in MDC. | ||
| And this is what the payback of Xi Jinping is getting. | ||
| This is a crit pro quo. | ||
| Xi Jinping would not help Biden without expecting any return. | ||
| So the best way forward, if Americans really want the truth, very simple, assign a special prosecutor. | ||
| They don't have to look far. | ||
| Just look at five of you, all the cases that you each have, and investigate. | ||
| And you will bring all the light in terms of whether or not Xi Jinping and the CCP was behind any of those. | ||
| It's very simple and straightforward. | ||
| Those are five, and yes, they should be done eventually. | ||
| But I think... | ||
| You have to start to adjudicate the 2020 election steal. | ||
| It must happen. | ||
| Now, it's providential. | ||
| They stole it, although it was horrible for the country because President Trump came back loaded for bear. | ||
| Ava, hang on for one second. | ||
| There's a couple of things I've got to get to tonight. | ||
| Forrest. | ||
| The primary carrier battle group patrolling the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits is now going through the Straits of Malacca through the Indian Ocean to the North Arabian Sea to be the third carrier positioned off Persia sometime tomorrow, I think, or the next day, to be there for potential action. | ||
| How is the CCP working with the Persians? | ||
| Are they trying to draw the Americans into the situation and take our eye off the ball to Taiwan and particularly the invasion here in the United States? | ||
| Is it just this happenstance? | ||
| Or is this work towards the Chinese Communist Party's plan, which is to destroy America, sir? | ||
| Okay, absolutely. | ||
| their plan is to destroy the American. | ||
| Whether they are trying to distract American But absolutely, their goal is to destroy America. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| We see that already. | ||
| This situation in Taiwan definitely will create a power vacuum and also expose Taiwan more. | ||
| But my question to everybody is, even if we have our military there, I think the answer is yes. | ||
| Because we are already in the war with the Chinese Communist Party, which is unrestricted warfare. | ||
| Right now, what we are seeing today is more than just a crisis. | ||
| I think it's an opportunity for Iranian people and Chinese people to really regain their freedom and democracy. | ||
| Because right now, everybody can see the dictatorship is really just a paper tiger. | ||
| They cannot survive with the real fight. | ||
| That's why what we see there in what happens in Israel and Iran. | ||
| And the Iran people, as soon as they realize, they are repressed by this regime for 50, 70 years. | ||
| They will start to fight back and overthrow this dictatorship. | ||
| They will regain their power. | ||
| And this situation happening in Iran actually is a nightmare for CCP. | ||
| Because the leader in Iran portrayed himself as a god. | ||
| Xi Jinping does the same thing. | ||
| He portrayed himself as a god to rule the 1.4 billion Chinese people. | ||
| What they are doing right now in China, they tightly control the media and using their propaganda power won't let people know what is really happening in Iran. | ||
| They are still propaganda. | ||
| They still on the media tell the Chinese people that Iran is invisible and the American is losing. | ||
| Because they are afraid that the Chinese people know the real truth. | ||
| That is... | ||
| Look at Israel. | ||
| If the Israel in this fight, 96% of their people standing with their government. | ||
| But the Iran people, only less than 10% of their people support this war. | ||
| That's the dictatorship. | ||
| They rule their people by fear and by the cruelty. | ||
| So that's why I think Right now, we are witnessing the opportunity presented for the Chinese people and the Iran people to overthrow those dictatorships. | ||
| I want to ask Rory a question about the Russian and the Chinese alliance, but I've got to ask you, because Persia and the Chinese Communist Party, the mullahs have a pretty tight relationship. | ||
| They're shipping, I don't know, somewhere north of two million barrels a day. | ||
| There's talks now of airstrikes down in those oil fields. | ||
| There was a ship today in the Straits of Hormuz that was blocking things for a while. | ||
| How important is it to the regime in Beijing to get that two million barrels a day from the regime in Tehran, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That's very critical for the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| First of all, that almost accounts for 15 to 20% of their oil imports from foreign overseas. | ||
| And also they got that oil very cheap compared to the other source. | ||
| cheap from Iran. | ||
| So that's very important. | ||
| So without that energy supply, it definitely will create a lot of pressure within the government. | ||
| And also the second important thing is, this is what they build one belt, one road. | ||
| They create the BRIC with all the Russian and other BRIC countries, try to use the currency exchange to relieve the sanctions U.S. and Western countries put on Iran, and also to benefit the CCP themselves. | ||
| So this border effect for the One Belt, One Road, and also all their economic currency strategy, actually, this situation is a big hit for them. | ||
| So I think this is critical for the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| What's happening in Iran, and they lose this energy supply, and most importantly, they lose strategically their plan and their strategy, which is a very heavy hit for them. | ||
| This is also central to this whole BRIC situation is the situation between Persia and the Chinese Communist Party because they're taking payments not in petrodollars, but in or U.S. currency, they're taking it in yuan with a hedge around it. | ||
| Breaking news, President Trump... | ||
| put a lid on things president trump is not expected to speak any further tonight roy one of the things the media has been reporting is president trump looks through his calculus and gets assets in place and and and thinks to how he wants to do this | ||
| People have been saying in the media, and not analysts, I mean people at the Pentagon and others, President Trump's calculation here about actually going kinetic is that the issues with the Chinese Communist Party and the alliance they have with the KGB in Moscow. | ||
| How tight is that alliance, sir, do you think? | ||
| Well, Steve, I think it's super tight. | ||
| I'll let you know the reason later. | ||
| But you know Xi is in Central Asia for a couple of days. | ||
| He's going to be back tonight. | ||
| One thing he mentioned very importantly is the 2,000-year friendship that they're going to have. | ||
| And I think the goal here is to create division between the Central Asian countries and the United States. | ||
| And also to leave a space for them to, when they have a real move in Taiwan and other areas, they can relieve these sanctions and get rid of the petrodollar system and have these BRIC nations work together. | ||
| And also one important topic they talk about is this situation right now. | ||
| It is a once-in-a-century opportunity for transformation for the Chinese Communist Party and also for those countries. | ||
| And it is accelerating. | ||
| So it's a big opportunity for all of them. | ||
| And so one of the reasons I think very important why Russia cannot be pulled away from the CCP is because of this. | ||
| Dictatorship mindset where they have such a close, you know, relationship in secret deals and trades where Xi Jinping basically controlled the family, the security of Putin's family and also the assets. | ||
| And also the relationship. | ||
| So I think it's going to be really naive for people to think, okay, their relationship can break up really easily. | ||
| And another aspect, if you look at this whole dynastic dictatorship of Xi and Putin, if you look at the meeting in Belarus, the introduction of his daughter, Xi Mingzhe, under the political spotlight, this is really sensitive inside China. | ||
| All the people know this is for succession, and this is the very first time. | ||
| Mao Zedong even didn't have the chance to do this until he died. | ||
| And everybody knows that Xi Jinping's brother now is in charge of the state intelligence, and his wife is in charge of the state police, and his daughter's been always in charge of the foreign affair. | ||
| So this is the key. | ||
| So everybody needs to understand that the alliance is not going to be easily broken up. | ||
| But I think this is like what Farah said, like the approval rate is like less than 10 percent. | ||
| And now this is Xi Jinping's major goal. | ||
| Later, with the collapse of Iran, with the imminent attack on Taiwan, with all the strategic resources grouped together. | ||
| I think he wants to continue his rule, his family dynastic rule, ruling of China, but I think the revolution is inevitable. | ||
| This is why we say it's run by a handful of factions that are wealthy. | ||
| They're wealthier than the families in the Gulf Emirates. | ||
| The wealthiest people on earth are the faction heads of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Forrest, where do they go on New Federal State of China, your media page, to get you guys are doing shows. | ||
| I'm on a couple times a week. | ||

| And Ava, I'll talk to you after the show. | ||
| I want you back on tomorrow night, too, to go through your analysis. | ||
| This proves something we've been saying and mocked and ridiculed by the mainstream media that the Chinese Communist Party absolutely wanted a role. | ||
| In the defeat of Trump, they did not want Trump to return to the White House in January of 2021. | ||
| They had had enough of Trump after a couple of years. | ||
| This is a big story. | ||
