| part to Gavin Newsom's sanctuary policies. | ||
| Now, Donald Trump's first administration denied him commercial driving privileges in the country, but then Joe Biden's administration gave it to him. | ||
| In other words, more blood on many Democrats' hands as far as I am concerned. | ||
| Now, because of the Democrats' obsession aiding and abetting the law breaking, those illegals, those people that enter our country, don't respect our laws, border and sovereignty, even institutionalizing it in states that are sanctuary that offer those protections like California, because without California, without Joe Biden's insane policies, three Americans emplo in Florida would not have been in this preventable crash. | ||
| But the Trump administration, they are now taking action to secure our roads. | ||
| Just moments ago, about an hour ago, Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the following announcement. | ||
| Quote, he said, Effective immediately, we are pausing all issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| You're not going to get a free shot on 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? | ||
| 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. Vance. | ||
| you you Friday, 22 August, Year of Overlord 2025. | ||
| Thank you so much for sticking around for the second hour of the morning edition of the war room. | ||
| This afternoon, also going to have from 5 to 7, the afternoon, early evening edition. | ||
| It'll be on fire. | ||
| So much going on today. | ||
| We're absolutely packed. | ||
| We've had to kind of re-jigger the show a little bit because the raid on Bolton's house, the great Jack Pesobic, a naval intelligence officer, a former naval intelligence officer, is going to join us on this because this is going to, the Bolton raid is going to have massive implications. | ||
| to what's going on now because he's one of the biggest cheerleaders. | ||
| He's the neocons, neocons. | ||
| Also, I'll play, hopefully I'll play the clip we got it later. | ||
| Karl Rove, and I kid you not, one of the architects and particularly the information war architects of the Iraq war, right, actually went on Fox and in the Wall Street Journal and said, and I told you this was going to happen, said if President Trump doesn't work and get a deal that's suitable to Zelensky and this crowd in the European elites, this will be his Afghanistan, right? | ||
| This is not Trump's war whatsoever. | ||
| And the Europeans have told us they're not prepared to do any serious commitments on the security guarantees, which this audience has been months ahead of. | ||
| If anybody else, because we've talked about it, not prepared to do any what we call line of contact security guarantees, which is the meaningful guarantees. | ||
| They want the United States to do it. | ||
| So the whole Ukraine thing, President Trump said, hey, look, if Zelensky gets a meeting with Putin, that's great. | ||
| I'm not going to be part of the bilateral. | ||
| I'm not going to set it up. | ||
| The reason is he saw the Europeans that got on the plane and they fell apart. | ||
| Nothing serious. | ||
| So we're going to break all that down in a moment. | ||
| When I talk about a maximalist strategy, I mean in every aspect, We have to understand this gets to the recess and the recess appointments. | ||
| We are burning daylight. | ||
| We only have so much time and we're against the concentrationation of industrial power, the concentration of financial power, the concentration of technological power, right, to try to sort this mess out and get this country back on its footing of being America first. | ||
| That means like on the street district, which is audience, you drove the victory in Texas when nobody would talk about it. | ||
| And Abbott didn't want to do it. | ||
| And Patrick didn't want to do it. | ||
| And Speaker Burrow didn't want to do it. | ||
| And I totally respect it. | ||
| I know we followed the press. | ||
| He's trying to be, you know, magnanimous to downtown Texas, but his true social on Burrow, right, is not the perspective of the war. | ||
| And that guy is a sad sack and didn't want to do anything and no Democrats have really been punished down there. | ||
| Oh, they're talking about some $9,000 penalty. | ||
| We have to have a maximalist strategy everywhere. | ||
| What do I mean by that? | ||
| Well, it's the redistributing wars. | ||
| If we're going to get to 100 seats, let's get on with it. | ||
| Let's get to 100 seats. | ||
| We've gotten five right now. | ||
| There's another five in Texas, another 10 around the country that gets us 20. | ||
| Let's go for it. | ||
| I want all 20. | ||
| And I want to defeat Newsom in California. | ||
| We got to get on that because the 2028 race has started and Newsom's running for president. | ||
| And by the way, if he wins in November, he's going to be the Democratic candidate. | ||
| Write that down. | ||
| It's not going to be Pritzker. | ||
| You saw what Pritzker did with his redistribution for the two. | ||
| is re-dissigning for the two weeks is a sad sack. | ||
| Not going to happen. | ||
| I'll care if he's got $5 billion put into it. | ||
| None of those governors. | ||
| It's going to be newsome. | ||
| So just get that reality. | ||
| Focus on it. | ||
| Let's defeat this guy. | ||
| Also, across the board in policies, this is why it's happening in Washington, D.C., is a template for the rest of the nation. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Let's do it in Los Angeles. | ||
| Let's do it in Chicago. | ||
| Let's do it in New York. | ||
| What's happening right now with that amphibious group in the 4,000 Marines and other troops and sailors have been assigned to Southcom right now going to the Caribbean. | ||
| The great Alex Jones yesterday said, broke some news. | ||
| Hey, they're getting ready to have military interdictions, kinetic interdictions against the cartels in Mexico and maybe Central America. | ||
| Let's get on with it. | ||
| That's America first. | ||
| That's the hemisphere we want to clear up. | ||
| The 55 million visas we got to go through, we ought to dump half of those visa holders ought to have their visas pulled like tomorrow and told they got 30 days to get out of the country. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| You wouldn't have an affordability problem. | ||
| You just saw on the truckers, and I want to bring in the folks that brought this to our attention so the Warren Possy could get on with it. | ||
| Court McGill, Shannon Everett, and we have Danielle Chaffin, who is a logistics expert. | ||
| Court, I want to start with you, then I'll go to Shannon. | ||
| Talk to me about what happened the other day with this case, this event that finally brought to the nation's attention what you guys have been arguing for a while about these commercial driver licenses that are given to particularly Mexican citizens, Mexican nationals that can't speak the English, can't speak English, can't read English, are not going to abide by any rule. | ||
| You scared the hell out of people when you came on a month or so ago, a couple of months ago, and alerted the American citizens to what this problem was. | ||
| And now you've had guys killing people. | ||
| on highways as you guys predicted it was going to happen unless it got cleaned up. | ||
| So walk me through the case of what exactly happened here. | ||
| Well, on Tuesday, August 12, we saw a pretty serious crash in on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce. | ||
| A gentleman who had come into the United States illegally by the name of Harjinder Singh, behind the wheel of this semi, as you see in the clip you're playing, attempted to execute an illegal U turn across the Florida Turnpike. | ||
| And in doing so, he pulled right in front of three people in a minivan driving seventy miles an hour who were instantly killed. | ||
| The problem with this incident is this isn't the only one. | ||
| There have been a string of these crashes and collisions involving in-sourced labor on American highways. | ||
| Back in June, we saw in Terrell, Texas, a gentleman from Cuba working for one of these dodgy chameleon carriers, hauling a load for the United States Postal Service, fell asleep at the wheel because the company he worked for backed into his electronic logging device, fudged his hours and allowed him to drive until he could not drive anymore. | ||
| And he wiped out most of an entire family in Texas. | ||
| Then we had another one in Austin, Texas in March. | ||
| This is repeated. | ||
| It's daily, a couple of days. | ||
| after the crash in Florida, we had six or seven semis getting into an accident on the same stretch of Interstate 70 in Illinois. | ||
| These are daily occurrences. | ||
| A friend of mine who is a truck driver, he just left Vermont the other day called me and said he keeps getting detoured from all these crashes. | ||
| And most of the time we're finding it's drivers who've been in sourced here from other countries and been given fraudulent or questionable CDLs, many of which are downstream of this program that Joe Biden started in 2021 under his Trucking Task Force, where instead of listening to industry experts telling him, hey, we need to get trucks moving. | ||
| We need to fix the detention problem. | ||
| We need to pay drivers more and improve the material conditions of American truckers' jobs. | ||
| They completely ignored all of that expert advice. | ||
| And downstream of that task force, we have seen at least at very least half a million migrants, refugees and illegals issued CDLs by about ten states, as identified by my colleague Shannon Everett here at American Truckers United. | ||
| And America's highways are flooded with people who often don't speak English, have got very little training, very little vetting, and clearly don't know what they're doing because they keep getting in these accidents all the time. | ||
| It's economic warfare against America's well trained truckers. | ||
| Gord, before I go to Shannon, hang on for a second. | ||
| The guy did an illegal on the Florida freeway, that huge interstate, he tried to do a U-turn, an illegal U-turn in the middle of that, and the folks in the minivan ran into him. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Gord, Miko, hang on for one second. | ||
| We'll go to Shannon. | ||
| Shannon, please explain to this audience. | ||
| what the logic is of why in the United States of America we need 500,000 aliens given commercial driver's license to compete against American drivers. | ||
| What is the logic of that, sir? | ||
| Well, it's an irresponsible logic that's been parroted by the lobbyist group in Washington, DC. | ||
| And so it's not necessary. | ||
| You know, there's been this narrative that's been pushed out into the industry that says that we have a driver shortage. | ||
| And it's always continuously seems to be the same number of 80,000 drivers. | ||
| When we first started bringing awareness to this issue, we found very quickly that we had over 6 million CDLs as reported by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's website online. | ||
| But when we made that statement, when we made that claim, it's like, well, that number's bad, that data's bad. | ||
| Well, if that data is the only public source of data that's available for everyone to use to make the claims on how many CDL drivers we have in the United States, how can you also tell us that there's a shortage? | ||
| If we don't have the data, how can you have a number that tells us how many drivers we don't have? | ||
| The answer is there's no shortage. | ||
| If there was a shortage, they wouldn't just be pulling drivers from third world countries. | ||
| They would be pulling drivers from everywhere they could possibly recruit them from. | ||
| But what we've identified is that the ten states that are responsible for flooding our highways with all of these unvetted, untrained and unqualified drivers are only insourcing drivers from third world countries, countries like Serbia, countries like Ethiopia, countries like India, Ecuador, Honduras. | ||
| These are all places where the workers from those countries have third world living standards that they're comfortable receiving third world living wages, and so they're able to come in here and displace American workers when they don't when they don't have to be paid a prevailing wage when they don't have to pay any federal income taxes they don't have to pay any state income taxes they don't have to receive any health care benefits and that's because the majority of all of these workers that they've brought in and | ||
| issued these CDLs are not here on proper work visas. | ||
| They're here on and they're abusing these B one visitor visas. | ||
| They're abusing these EAD cards, these employment authorization documents. | ||
| And they're being issued an unusual new phenomenon, what is what everyone now knows to be this nondomicile CDL. | ||
| And so prior to the Biden administration issuing new guidance and saying that these rogue states could issue nondomicile CDLs, our trucking industry was not experiencing this phenomenon. | ||
| And so this is completely new. | ||
| And I think it's a blessing. | ||
| that God is using Steve Bannon and the War Room posse, that God's using Secretary Marco Rubio and Secretary Duffy, because there are people all across this country who are broken hearted, they're broken spirited because either their families have been killed and they don't really understand the circumstances of how that was possible, | ||
| or you also have families who have lost generations of wealth as the companies that they own and operate have been subsidizing losses for the last three to four years as they try to compete with this new ecosystem of drivers that we've never had to compete with before. | ||
| We're going to hold you guys through the break. | ||
| Jack Bassova is also going to join us. | ||
| I'm going to hold you through the break because you have economic warfare against the backbone of this country, and that's the truck drivers, right? | ||
| And truck drivers is also a generational thing. | ||
| It goes down, there are many, many families that passes down generation to generation, just like my family was a phone company family, right? | ||
| Or part of the family or firemen. | ||
| Get folks in these industries, right? | ||
| And they pass it down to their kids, they pass it down to their grandkids. | ||
| Economic warfare plus a clear and present danger. | ||
| to American families on American highways. | ||
| How can that possibly be? | ||
| The forces of industry concentration are at the center of this. | ||
| This just didn't happen. | ||
| This is what the lobbyists are arguing. | ||
| Just like they argue in Silicon Valley. | ||
| The thing they hate most, this is why you get all these student visas. | ||
| They don't want American citizens to have these jobs. | ||
| They don't want it. | ||
| They either want to automate it with artificial intelligence or want to get a foreign worker in here that'll work for one-third the wage in horrific conditions. | ||
| That is why our fight is against the concentration of economic power. | ||
| That's why you're a populist. | ||
| That's why you're economic nationalist. | ||
| These globalists, right? | ||
| And these neocon, neoliberals, and we're seeing that today from. | ||
| Jackson Hole with Powell in the central banks all the way to the raid on John Bolton's house in suburban Maryland. | ||
| Short commercial break and return to the war room and America's truckers next. | ||

| Okay, Jack and Sobik's going to join me in a moment. | ||
| We're going to get to this developments in Ukraine. | ||
| Everything President Trump did, remember, it's about opportunity costs all unraveled. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because the European elites are gutless. | ||
| They want the United States to bail them out one more time. | ||
| We did it in World War I. We did it in World War II. | ||
| We did it in the Cold War, they went. | ||
| right? | ||
| But you also have putting all of American society in jeopardy. | ||
| How many, because the thing's so bad, what trucker would do a U-turn in the middle of a freeway unless you didn't know where the hell you were, couldn't understand the language, didn't know anything about the rules of the road? | ||
| How many American citizens, sir, do you think have been killed by these alien truckers, which you guys are estimating are 500,000? | ||
| in the United States. | ||
| How many people, how many citizens have been killed by these people? | ||
| Well, it's hard to nail that down because the statistics aren't exactly counted based on what their work authorization is or where they come from, you sort of have to infer it. | ||
| That said, the Wall Street Journal and CBS have done separate investigations into these sort of scummy carriers who are the main choice of Amazon. | ||
| When you see an Amazon trailer going down the road, 99% of the time it's not an Amazon truck pulling it, it's a subcontractor and Amazon Relay uses these, you know, small companies who are typically also owned by in-source labor like recent arrivals who figure out the scams and then bring their co ethnic homeboys. | ||
| And in those two investigations, they found that 150 people had been involved and died from collisions involving these contractors to Amazon. | ||
| My estimate is that the number of people killed in the United States by in-source labor given questionable CDLs has got to be in the minimum of four figures. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Four figures. | ||
| Good Lord. | ||
| So hang over a thousand. | ||
| So hang on, hang over a second. | ||
| Danielle Chafin, you're a logistics specialist when it comes to trucking, tying a logistics system. | ||
| You're also, I think, third generation. | ||
| Your grandfather was a trucker, your father's a trucker. | ||
| I don't understand when I look at your videos or look at the things that you put up at this sophistication of this logistics system and how the truckers the tip of the spear of that. | ||
| How can people who don't understand English, can't read English, the 500,000 people can't be adding to that value chain? | ||
| Are they just employed by these trucking, because you've got major lobbyists in the trucking industry that are pushing for this. | ||
| Why are they pushing for this when it's such a complicated, it's actually a complicated profession that you've got to be tied into a very sophisticated database and logistics system, ma'am? | ||
| I certainly think that the push of this truck driver shortage narrative that we've had since 1987 and really pushed for it around 2015, 2016. | ||
| And it is perpetual, it's never ending. | ||
| Driver shortage, 80,000 forever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a magical number. | ||
| We push that. | ||
| And then the government is subsidizing the drivers to go to those CDL schools. | ||
| So they're going to the CDL schools for free. | ||
| Somebody's getting paid for that. | ||
| The American taxpayers are paying into the chaos that we're trying to stop. | ||
| And there are hold, hang on. | ||
| Are you saying that the hold, are the foreign hang on. | ||
| Are the foreign you're saying the foreign drivers that these bigger companies are recruiting actually go to the commercial dr driver license school to get the license that's underwritten by American taxpayers? | ||
| I don't think the issue that we're seeing right now is with the mega carriers. | ||
| I don't think it's the big ones. | ||
| Have we had issues with that in the past? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| What we're seeing right now, it's not the mega carriers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is the sketchy schools. | |
| There are refugee programs. | ||
| They're all over the internet. | ||
| Flyers stating that they will help you pay for your CDL school that will help you get small business loans to pay for the truck, toing companies in the United States. | ||
| When I go through that data set, the names of the trucking companies, I'll post some more later on X Today, the names in there, again, you have to infer. | ||
| We don't know the facts, whether they're legal or not. | ||
| It is absurd. | ||
| How do you recommend, because you know this, I'm going to go to, uh, I'm going to go to Shannon in a second, because this is about action. | ||
| Our show is followed by activists. | ||
| And when the guys first came on, the first time, the people's heads blew up. | ||
| They were on the phones. | ||
| They were sending text messages. | ||
| is what is your recommendation of how we sort this mess out? | ||
| I mean, it's got to stop. | ||
| We've killed too many American citizens. | ||
| We've jeopardized too many families. | ||
| We're taking also the backbone of the country, the trucking industry, particularly generational truckers that pass it down generation to generation. | ||
| We're destroying their livelihood. | ||
| So what is your recommendation? | ||
| If we want to have a thing that we want to have zero. | ||
| commercial driver's license issued to foreign nationals, right, in this country. | ||
| How do we stop it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do we stop it? | |
| Danielle. | ||
| For me? | ||
| We ban did we ban nondomicile CDLs? | ||
| We restrict foreign CDLs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we go ahead, Steve. | |
| No, go ahead. | ||
| How do we do it? | ||
| We put we automatically ban all nondomicile CDLs that have been issued. | ||
| We revoke them. | ||
| We restrict the foreign CDLs from operating inside the United States. | ||
| And I and I argue that we were that we take away any understanding of immunity that is currently being provided to brokers and shippers for these accidents. | ||
| And so right now there's a preemption process problem where brokers and shippers feel like they're not responsible for the accidents that have taken countless Americans' lives when they have decided to use these trucking companies who are employing non-citizen truck drivers on these suspect credentials. | ||
| And so we need to pull that back. | ||
| And if we will hold the Yeah. | ||
| If we will hold the profiteers accountable, we will quickly get to the bottom of this. | ||
| Well, Hank, when you say non-domicile, explain that so I understand it. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| So the license that is being issued to everyone that's not a citizen of the United States who is here on an employment authorization document or some kind of temporary work visa or visitor visa is typically a nondomicile CDL. | ||
| And so it's a specific group of drivers that we're talking about. | ||
| And what do you mean by immunity? | ||
| What do you talk about? | ||
| I mean, who's got immunity? | ||
| You're just saying immunity from these accidents? | ||
| Who gives these, what's immunity in this situation and who grants it? | ||
| So the states have immunity from these accidents for being sued because of anything that they've done wrong when it comes to issuing the licenses. | ||
| Or I can give you an example how the state has an immunity in a crash that we had about three or four years ago when they left a truck in the middle of the road without any warning signs or flashers on it. | ||
| And our truck hit it. | ||
| were unable to sue the state because the state had immunity. | ||
| And so a lot of times in these like in the situation with California, it should be it should the injured individuals in the accident should be able to sue the state of California if they illegally issued this commercial driver's license. | ||
| So if there's an accident by by a brokerage company and they give a load to a motor carrier they claim they claim immunity they claim preemption there's actually a Supreme Court ruling that's coming up soon, where brokers are trying to say that they're not responsible for an accident when they hire a motor carrier and that motor carrier uses an illegal alien truck driver. | ||
| And so this is going to have a huge influence on the trucking industry. | ||
| Yeah, it's it's it's on the docket for this upcoming court. | ||
| Gord, where do people go? | ||
| Because the audience now wants to get on top of this thing. | ||
| It's not simply that we want to freeze on any more. | ||
| We got to roll them all back, right? | ||
| So we'll look to you guys for the appropriate guidance at the appropriate time. | ||
| But Gord, where do people go for your social media and to find out more about what you're working on? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Thank you for having us, Steve. | ||
| You can find me on Twitter at Gord McGill GORD MAGILL. | ||
| I write often at the autonomous truckers substack dot com where we discuss these issues. | ||
| And I'm writing a book right now on this very topic, on the war against North American truck drivers. | ||
| It's called End of the Inside the War on Truckers. | ||
| It's published in March of 2026 and it's going to cover all this and have a full slate of recommendations for our policymakers to clean this up. | ||
| Amen, brother, love it. | ||
| Shannon, where do people go to get to Truckers United? | ||
| On all the social media our tag is the same it's at atu truckers so please follow us on twitter on facebook on linkedin uh tick tock we're we're on all the social medias and then you can go to our website at www.americantruckers.com and register for free awesome it's unbelievable danielle where do people go i think you got a podcast your writings where are your social media where do people go Yeah, | ||
| all of my social media handles, I'm most active on X. It's at maybe Danielle with three E's at the end. | ||
| Okay, perfect. | ||
| We'll get them all up. | ||
| I want to thank you guys, and we're now committed to this fight like before. | ||
| We got to stop. | ||
| stop this. | ||
| Safety of the American citizen, plus it's economic warfare against truckers, and it's got to stop. | ||
| Thank you all for coming into the war room this morning. | ||
| We're going to get on top of this one. | ||
| I want to thank Secretary Rubio, Marco Rubio. | ||
| I want to thank Sean Duffy, doing a great job over as Secretary of Transportation for getting on this. | ||
| Jack Basobic is next up. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Basobic's got a lot to say. | ||
| Remember, Jack Basobic, a former naval intelligence officer. | ||
| This is going to be far deeper and uglier, I believe, than just the book The Room Where It Happened. | ||
| That's what initiated this investigation of John Bolton.'s dirty on many levels. | ||
| Also the geopolitical reality of what's happened in the last 96 hours. | ||
| The European elites tried to dump on President Trump to solve all of their problems, right? | ||
| As they always try to do with the United States of America. | ||
| But finally, we've had a leader in the United States that says, I don't know. | ||
| Don't know if that's going your host, Stephen K. Banff. | ||
| Okay, the great Jack Besobic. | ||
| So Besobic, there was a dawn raid on John Bolton's house, but there's much more deeper going on. | ||
| Let's start with the Ukraine situation. | ||
| This was a Jack Besobic called shot. | ||
| You actually were in Alaska with the president for the Putin meeting. | ||
| You were also, you took the flight back there, back. | ||
| You saw the president work the phones the entire time. | ||
| You were there all day. | ||
| for the for the for the for the leaders of Europe coming over. | ||
| You were also, I believe, the only person in all media that brought up the fact that the Poles who I would argue probably our greatest ally over there now. | ||
| It said, hey, thanks, but no thanks, Mr. President, because I know the Europeans are going to try to roll you. | ||
| What's the current status of Ukraine's situation, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, and we saw this, you know, really being brought up, and I raised this to the attention of the White House press briefing a couple of days ago, where I said, you know, this sounds great. | ||
| Obviously, the president's done the yeoman's work here, putting his shoulder to the wheel in terms of being able to get this press, this peace deal together. | ||
| But at the same time, there are real questions about what are the elaborations on these security guarantees? | ||
| What is Article 5 like mean? | ||
| And most importantly, will the Russians agree to any of this? | ||
| And what we're seeing now, the Wall Street Journal's got a piece out right now. | ||
| Now, Wall Street Journal, of course, no fan of President Trump's foreign policy. | ||
| And their piece is talking about how this is really starting to stall out because they can't get to an agreement between the Russians and the Europeans. | ||
| And in fact, Steve, Professor John Mearsheimer, the guy who's been calling all of this since all the way back, go back to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 when he was saying none of this is going to work, said the exact same thing that the issue here is that Trump and Putin can get to an agreement, but you'll never get Zelensky and the rest of the Europeans to go along with it. | ||
| But how do you, but Jack, we have a $58 billion bailout of the Europeans going through the Senate now. | ||
| And folks, it's going to get dropped on your head in the first couple weeks of September, $58 billion. | ||
| If we don't give them any money. | ||
| And we don't give them any arms. | ||
| They have no leverage. | ||
| The Europeans are not prepared to step up here. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| So when they say, Zelensky is not going to agree, the Europeans are not going to agree, what are we talking about? | ||
| I mean, we're underwriting this. | ||
| If we sit there and go, guys, the American taxpayers are not going to do us anything. | ||
| We're not going to be part of this slaughter anymore. | ||
| You saw the hack that came out. | ||
| It's 1.7 million dead and wounded on the Ukrainian side. | ||
| This, Pesovic, you've been nearing so much in the last week. | ||
| This is why President Trump always says, he says, look, I can't tell you everything from the intelligence sources, but the numbers are much worse than you think. | ||
| And now we know in that hack, it's 625,000 Ukrainians in this year. | ||
| If you want to stop the madness, it's just the United States that says, we just tell the neocons, we're not going to do this anymore, right? | ||
| And then Zelensky and the Europeans are going to have to figure out how to deal with it. | ||
| Am I crazy on this? | ||
| I mean, Steve, that's really what it's coming down to. | ||
| And, of course, this is why Karl Rove and so many others are trying to frame this as saying, well, hold on, we don't want this to be Trump's Afghanistan. | ||
| We don't want to see this. | ||
| So they're trying to frame it as though Russia is a poised to take Kiev the same way that the Taliban took Kabul. | ||
| And they're trying to paint that picture for the president of the images, of course, the horrifying, gory images coming out of Kabul, of Afghanistan, of the plane. | ||
| And, of course, Abbey Gate, the bombing, everything that took place there. | ||
| So conjuring that up to try. | ||
| Meanwhile, it's really been Trump on the other hand. | ||
| He's the one saying, well, hold on, you're talking about these areas. | ||
| And of course, the Russians have been fighting in these areas three and a half years now. | ||
| They're not, they're not any closer to Kiev than they were, you know, weeks and days ago. | ||
| Now that being said, the issue on the Ukrainian side, it's not territory, it's manpower. | ||
| And it's been manpower the whole time. | ||
| That's why this, it's been such a political football as to the exact number of the casualties on either side, the ratio, does it favor the Ukrainians, does it favor the Russians? | ||
| But whatever the exact number is, and we've obviously seen a lot of different numbers being thrown around, It seems at this point it is favoring the Russians that they are the ones who are clearly on the military advantage right now. | ||
| And that's why the Russians are saying, give us those last four of what they call the fortress cities in Donetsk province, because between those cities and the Dneper River, it's nothing but farmland, it's just flat farmland all the way across. | ||
| They can shoot directly across the Dneper River. | ||
| Now you're down to Nikolaev, Odessa is right there, and if you go up the river, boom, you're in Kiev. | ||
| So the question here is not, it's really not, can we get the Ukrainians to the table, it's, can we get the Russians? | ||
| Because there are people to Putin's right that are saying, what are you meeting for? | ||
| Why are you holding this meeting? | ||
| Why sit down at all? | ||
| Why not go in all the way? | ||
| That's the real key here. | ||
| And so President Trump has to look at this square on, and I think he did, because we saw that post from him, I guess it was yesterday, when he said it's flat out, and he talked about, you know, he didn't attack Russia, he didn't do this or that. | ||
| He said it's unwinable. | ||
| That was his point. | ||
| He was saying that this is unwinable for the Ukrainians on the battlefield. | ||
| Meanwhile, the Russians, I think they know a little something about when they're winning a war. | ||
| They're showing that they're more than willing to prosecute this to its full military extent. | ||
| If we're going to be an accessory now, because this is slaughter, we have to have, and the Europeans didn't step up for anything. | ||
| They ran back there and no security guarantee, no line of contact, no troops, no money. | ||
| Germans say we might be able to do something. | ||
| Germans are whining because they put a brigade. | ||
| of troops, I think, in Lithuania, and they're sitting there going, no, we're tapped out. | ||
| This is a joke, and it's a sick joke, and 1.7 million dead or wounded Ukrainians, and 625,000 this year, and it hasn't been really refuted by anybody. | ||
| Jack, I want to pivot. | ||
| In this, the biggest cheerleader for Zelensky and Netanyahu., besides Tel Aviv, Mark Levin is John Bolton, the neocon of neocons. | ||
| How big a deal is this raid? | ||
| I know it's about the original book, but I think they're going to find it. | ||
| They're taking a lot of boxes in there, Pasovic. | ||
| This is going to have a major implication because he's the biggest cheerleader for neocon policies. | ||
| And you got to remember. | ||
| When we get back from Labor Day, it's not just the Gaza occupation or the IDF going into Gaza City, which they're ramping up right now. | ||
| Netanyahu is going to be pitching Persian regime change. | ||
| We're going to go back to that. | ||
| Just you heard it here for us. | ||
| We're going to go back to that. | ||
| How is this going to play with John Bolton, their mouthpiece is looking at some serious jail time, sir. | ||
| Well, Steve, I actually have an exclusive report on all of this that I haven't even posted on Twitter yet. | ||
| Came in just as I was coming in to get ready for the hit here. | ||
| So this is what I'm getting. | ||
| This is going to be a war room exclusive here from Human Events. | ||
| That CIA director, John Ratcliffe, provided Cash Patel access to U.S. intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton's house. | ||
| So this is basically what we were thinking about. | ||
| And this is individual from familiar is telling me this. | ||
| They're saying Bolton unextenuously attacked Trump for mishandling classified information. | ||
| It will go down as one of the most audacious and ironic acts of malice in political history. | ||
| Bolton should have been throwing stones in his now raided glass house. | ||
| And this was something, I think Steve, you and I talked about it when John Bolton's book came out that he was known for these yellow legal pads that he would take notes during every single meeting that was going on when he was the National Security Advisor. | ||
| And there were a lot of questions as to what exactly was the handling of those notes, those yellow legal padss make it home to him because there was a lot of information that was in there that also ended up in his book, which was publicized. | ||
| And by the way, part of which was leaked to the New York Times, even went back to my own reporting on this, part of which was leaked to the New York Times before it even came out in publication. | ||
| So there's a lot of questions about who leaked it in the first place. | ||
| Was it leaked during that period where they're supposed to be scrubbing it for classified and these yellow legal pads, what information did he take? | ||
| Because classified information, here's a great example. | ||
| So even if you don't have documents, if the information that you have written down on your documents. | ||
| is classified and you take your document home, that still takes classified information out of a classified area. | ||
| That still takes it out of the SCIFP. | ||
| So if you're in, if you're in a position like the Oval, if you're in the Situation Room, et cetera, you can't just take that home and in fact the information in your mind is still also classified that's why you have a lifetime nda that's just the nature of classified information so i know there's a lot of people who focus on documents i'm certain they're you know i'm sure there's going to be documents that we're talking about here but this is very clear it's information that is classified not a piece of paper um give me that from the cia | ||
| director recluff again can you can you do that one more time? | ||
| It's pretty amazing. | ||
| John Ratcliffe provided FBI Director Cash Patel access to U.S. intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton's house. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So these are documents, some kind of information that the CIA held that they were probably using that as a check to go into this warrant to say these are the things you're looking for that they provided, this is going towards the probable cause for the raid that took place this morning. | ||
| I believe it's still ongoing. | ||
| It's still ongoing. | ||
| They're taking box after box in there to set it up. | ||
| So this is pretty extraordinary. | ||
| He's known as being Zelensky adjacent and very close and friendly with the Zelensky regime in Kiev. | ||
| He's also known to be a big cheerleader and close to Netanyahu and what I would call at least Mossad adjacent, right? | ||
| He's got a reputation for all this. | ||
| This is why the first time, remember, President Trump stopped the missile attack that he concocted in the first term because it didn't have proportionality. | ||
| And President Trump stopped it at the last second. | ||
| Another bolt next to us that we've gotten us into a shooting war with the Persians back then. | ||
| What kind of implications is this going to have today when we're looking at the kinetic part, the kinetic part of the Third World War in Ukraine is not going to stop anytime soon. | ||
| The kinetic part of the Third World War in Gaza is only going to get ramped up here in the next week or two. | ||
| And Netanyahu is going to come back and push for regime change against the Persians. | ||
| What kind of impact is that going to have if John Bolton's got a muzzle on him, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, I think it goes beyond John Bolton. | ||
| And for John, you know, Mr. Mustache, he is a neocons, neocon. | ||
| And he's very tied in with the neoconservative warhawk wing of the Republican Party, the neoconservative Warhawk wing of the intelligence community. | ||
| And so all of the names, and you can see them out on Twitter right now. | ||
| There's a picture of George Conway, I guess, standing in the driveway with his phone up trying to film some of this that's going quite viral. | ||
| Charlie Spearing tweeted it out. | ||
| And so it's not just about who, what John Bolton stands for. | ||
| It's also about who did he share this information with? | ||
| Who knew that John Bolton was taking this? | ||
| Was this potentially involved in the Russia Gate conspiracy? | ||
| At some point did they bring him together? | ||
| And does it all relate to the Russia hoax, which we know there's already an impaneled grand jury certainly some of the investigative probative value of the documents that are being taken right now are going to be checked against all of that so really we may come to find that John Bolton played a larger part with all of these people because remember what are what have we been told that they're looking at and that is an ongoing conspiracy against president Trump so if John Bolton played a part | ||
| in that you got to wonder if all of those other neocons that we've just been talking about are also wondering what did John tell us and are they looking at us next by the way George Conway ought to be arrested right now. | ||
| If he's in the parking lot trying to be a wise guy outside of the house, they ought to be arrested right now. | ||
| Jack, what's going to be on, where do people go for your social media in this afternoon's Human Events Daily? | ||
| What do we got? | ||
| Well, Steve, we're going to be running this to ground. | ||
| Any more information that I can find out about the Bolton raid and, of course, these investigations, we're going to be digging into that right now. | ||
| I was actually out and about in D.C. last night and I saw some top officials and I said, you know, Cash Patel isn't around tonight. | ||
| I wonder where Cash is going to be. | ||
| And now I find out what he was up to this morning. | ||
| So we're going to be digging that, digging. | ||
| into all of that today on Human Events Daily. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| We'll be watching. | ||
| Jack Besobic, 2 o'clock here right on Real America's Voice. | ||
| Jack Besobic, thank you for enlightening us. | ||
| Appreciate it, sir. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Take your phone out. | ||
| Bannon, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898. | ||
| Get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals from birch gold. | ||
| Do it today in the age of Trump. | ||
| We're going to talk about Jerome Powell when we return. | ||
| Risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside. | ||
| A challenging situation. | ||
| Our goals are intend intentional in this way, our framework calls for us to balance both sides of our dual mandate. | ||
| Our policy rate is now 100 basis points closer to neutral than it was a year ago. | ||
| And the stability of the unemployment rate and other labour market measures allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to our policy stance. | ||
| Nevertheless, with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance. | ||
| Monetary policy is not on a preset course. | ||
| FOMC members will make these decisions based solely on their assessment of the data and its implications for the economic outlook and the balance of risks. | ||
| We will never deviate from that approach. | ||
| Go to Birchgold. | ||
| You need to learn this stuff. | ||
| So go to Birchgold.com slash banner end of the dollar empire. | ||
| It's seven free installments coming out with 8th and 9th. | ||
| They're also coming out with a print edition. | ||
| We're also going to be doing special events. | ||
| There's a lot going on after everybody's back for Labor Day. | ||
| Make sure you go check it out today. | ||
| I think what Pal is saying there, it's central bank talk, that they're reviewing their model and they're leaning towards, I would say, a rate cut in September of 25 basis points. | ||
| So we'll have more on that. | ||
| Fishback, who we've had on the show, I think is actually in a screaming match in Jackson Hole about arresting or firing Governor Cook, who's now been accused of, and they've had Pulte, I think, come on this morning, been accused of multiple mortgage fraud. | ||
| I think Fishback actually might have disrupted things. | ||
| I think we got a clip for that. | ||
| If not, we're going to try a game on the 5 o'clock show. | ||
| So you can talk about it in person. | ||
| But make sure you go to Birchgold. | ||
| Also, I want to give a hat tip. | ||
| to the people at Patriot Mobile, 972 Patriot. | ||
| Go make this shift today. | ||
| If it was not for Glenn's story and the team and their political, their pack, to back up Brian Harrison and the rest of you Patriots and the grassroots that really put the bayonet to the back for a soft nudge to Abbott in this crowd to make sure that we got the five seats. | ||
| The five seats is just the start. | ||
| We need a Texas ten. | ||
| We need another five. | ||
| We're all over the redistributing wars. | ||
| More about that this afternoon and tomorrow on our Saturday morning show. | ||
| Now I want to bring in Jake, a Sea Wolf from my Patriot Supply, my favorite company. | ||
| Jake, you're an expert in this area, but I keep telling people in the old days it was like these preparedness people. | ||
| The preppers were looked at as wing nuts. | ||
| Now they're looked at as these safe pair of hands, cautionary folks. | ||
| that see everything going on and want to make sure they're not caught up in any type of crisis. | ||
| What do you got for, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, to be honest with you, there's a lot of stuff going on. | ||
| And even if you agree with what the, what they're doing in the White House, you do have to remember that there are still a lot of failure with natural disasters going on every time. | ||
| There's floods, there's fires, there's tornadoes. | ||
| People are getting stuck places. | ||
| I mean, when a earthquake happens, it separates a road. | ||
| So the funny thing about all of it is like even if a war is about to kick off or not, like the people who are prepared at home. | ||
| They're not as worried because when the grocery stores are running dry, we have food here. | ||
| The three month kit here behind me, mostly just for you guys to check it out. | ||
| But, like, honestly, like, it is important. | ||
| I would say at least you need about ten days to be ready for anything and I've traveled around the world. | ||
| There's, there's just a lot that can go wrong. | ||
| Jake, one of the things about people when they first get into this is that they don't know what all the things are. | ||
| They don't know the packages. | ||
| They don't know that. | ||
| How does my Patreon supply? | ||
| Like, for instance, if you go online or if you call, is there somebody there can walk people through because a lot of people I get this all the time. | ||
| We want to be prepared. | ||
| I want to get ahead of this. | ||
| I see what's happening in the hurricanes. | ||
| I see what's happening on the power situation in the country, and particularly as these data centers come online. | ||
| People understand now they have to take responsibility for themselves because nobody else is there to help them. | ||
| They've got to help themselves and their families, at least to get through some period of time if there's a crisis. | ||
| But how do you at MyPatriot Supply help folks to start walking them through that, sir? | ||
| Yep, absolutely. | ||
| The great thing is I work directly. | ||
| with, we have customer service and sales reps. | ||
| They are in house, Salt Lake City. | ||
| Some people would do remote, but you are calling in Americans, people who speak English. | ||
| So when you do call in, you're not only supporting other Americans and their families, but we have all the information they need and we can tell you the different plans depending on your family. | ||
| So if you're a single person, just living in their house, you know, like your preparedness will look a little different than someone with a huge family. | ||
| And then you have to look at your geographical locations, you know, like is there water near you? | ||
| Do you need to stock up on your own water and filtration? | ||
| What's your power situation like? | ||
| Electricity is super important. | ||
| You don't want a couple of hundred dollars of food going bad in your fridge. | ||
| So at least something to power your fridge, keep lights on. | ||
| So and our people will they answer their phone 24/7. | ||
| You can call in, get help. | ||
| They will tell you exactly what you need. | ||
| And I recommend doing that. | ||
| We're trying to do that as soon as possible, like we're actually our end of summer sale is actually ending tonight. | ||
| So if you want to jump on that, jump on that now. | ||
| If you guys need power, we actually have a great deal going on with the Grid Doctor 3300. | ||
| It's our big solar generator unit. | ||
| You get a free expansion pack with it, even if you use a payment plan to get it purchased. | ||
| So we really do our best to make sure every American is ready. | ||
| To get to the end of summer sale, I want people to do it right now. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Where do they go today? | ||
| right after the show, where do they go? | ||
| Yeah, go to mypatriotsupply dot com and it should be right on the top of the page or scroll down, just call in and they will be more than happy to help you get ordered as well. | ||
| So it's not hard. | ||
| You can also take sales rep. Yeah, but what you have to do is talk to a customer service or sales rep. No doubt. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| What we want is to get to a sales rep or a customer service. | ||
| That's what the Warren posse is best when someone walks them through it about all the opportunities. | ||
| Mypatriotsupply dot.com tell them the war room sent you Jake thank you so much for joining us today appreciate you Jake Sewith my patriot supply the end of the summer sale let's get on it today remember the Christmas in July was fantastic now they've stretched another month for the end of the summer sale let's get on it today my patriot supply best company in space very honored to have them as a sponsor do we have a short clip president trump's got something to say | ||
