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. | ||

room here's your host Stephen K. Back. | |
All right, everybody, welcome to War Room. | ||
Dave Bratt setting in for the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
He was going off today on the Federal Reserve. | ||
Last night you saw I interviewed Peter Navarro, the great doctor Navarro. | ||
Great commentary on the Fed. | ||
So today we got Eric Tietzel coming up, but before he comes on, I did some crack research. | ||
I saw some clips yesterday of the great senator Jim DeMint on the Senate floor years ago trying to audit the Fed. | ||
And he and I both were numb to this deep state shenanigans. | ||
Now, now in retrospect, we see the delay tactics, the stall tactics by the parliamentarian in the rules. | ||
He was shut down on the floor by the establishment creatures. | ||
And we're going to get some clips on that probably in the next show. | ||
But I brought up with Peter yesterday the leftist bias built into the Federal Reserve system. | ||
And I know a lot of you war room fans and Steve's really into this. | ||
You heard him on today's show digging down deep on the appointment of these new governors and Article 3 project. | ||
Is the Fed constitutional? | ||
Who are they under? | ||
Are they under Congress? | ||
Are they under the Executive? | ||
Et cetera. | ||
And the reason this matters is, you know, I've been bringing it up for years on the show. | ||
I think there's a leftist tilt on the Fed. | ||
I don't think there is. | ||
I know there is. | ||
So I googled, I went to Grock, right, which is Elon's shop, and asked Grock, the great supermind in the sky, hey, is there a, I first asked if there's a leftist bias and all sorts of stuff come up. | ||
And then I, you know, to be fair, I'm fair and honest on the war room. | ||
And so I said, is there a conservative bias at all to the Federal Reserve Bank in their policy? | ||
And it said, no, we couldn't detect any evangelical bias, no religious bias, no libertarian bias. | ||
And Elon is the brain, I wish that was behind it somewhat, but it appears not. | ||
And so I said, is there a leftist bias or a liberal bias to the Fed? | ||
And oh my word, it went off. | ||
And so I'll just read you a few. | ||
You can google this. | ||
Oh, under the conservative bias, it said there are some correlations with conservative policy, which are interesting. | ||
The first one of importance is the first conservative policy is maintaining price stability. | ||
That's a joke, right? | ||
If you don't get that, you have to study more because that, that, this is called a conservative bias, right? | ||
When they find you're trying to keep inflation low, which is the Fed's mandate, they call that the conservative bias by these new artificial intelligence models. | ||
On the liberal bias, the leftist bias, it said, oh yeah, all sorts of stuff. | ||
They engage with topics like economic inequality, climate change, racial equality, gender disparities, et cetera. | ||
Analysis benefiting historically disadvantaged groups, narrow employment, wage gaps by sex, race, ethnicity, education. | ||
Climate change, no shocker, the Federal Reserve, particularly under governor Lyell Brainard, before her departure in 2023, has explored climate related financial risks. | ||
This is new to me. | ||
I did a PhD in this stuff. | ||
I'm way behind times. | ||
2020 speech by Brainard emphasized that climate change could impact bank balance sheets through credit, market liquidity and operational risks, advocating for frameworks to assess these risks. | ||
So I hope they use data in those analyses Because I'd love to see that. | ||
And then I could go on and on about San Francisco and Atlanta and whatever. | ||
But here with us to assess the Fed. | ||
And before we get that, Eric Tietzel is with us. | ||
And he's with Russ Vote and the great work over at MB, over at OMB. | ||
And he was, he's coming on to assess, first of all, these things called revisions. | ||
We got some good news today, I think, across USAID issue by Russ and some news on revisions. | ||
And so Eric, let us have it. | ||
Give us, give us, are we making any progress on cutting the, cutting the spending down in the swamp. | ||
Thanks as always for having me here on War Room to talk to the posse. | ||
And thanks for the relief to know that Skynet is not yet upon us. | ||
That's a great way off my mind. | ||
Yeah, today was a big day. | ||
Today, the president and Russ Vote sent over to Congress a pocket of about five billion dollars in resisions. | ||
The president also announced that Russ Vote would be taking over USAID, which if you saw what he did to Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Board, you will know that this is very good news for those of us who are concerned about the nefarious activities that have been happening over at USAID for a very long time. | ||
And this resisions package, which is actually the first of what we at CRA have been calling a pocket resision in fifty years. | ||
For the first time in fifty years, a president of the United States has taken this important step to actually cut federal spending. | ||
And it's not just five billion dollars. | ||
It's five billion dollars of the absolutely worst examples of foreign aid. | ||
You know, I don't know if people have been buying Powerball tickets. | ||
I think it's up to 800 million dollars. | ||
Every single year is Powerball for the worst people in the universe who get this USAID money to do things like fund LGBTQ awareness programs, climate mitigation efforts in Far Funk places all around the world, absolutely none of which have anything to do with our foreign policy interests. | ||
And so in this package, the president and Russ are saying, we're not giving you this slush fund money anymore to advance your progressive priorities. | ||
We're cutting it off and we're sending it back to the Treasury. | ||
Now it's five billion. | ||
We would all love it to be 50. | ||
We would all love it to be 500 billion. | ||
And we know it's out there. | ||
The key here is that this hasn't happened in 50 years. | ||
Next week you're going to hear all kinds of alarm bells going off about what the president is doing. | ||
It's illegal, it's unprecedented, all of which is nonsense, but the reality is they're definitely going to get sued. | ||
And so by focusing this step on absolutely tenable grounds, the president in his role as commander in chief and as head of American foreign policy has every right to look at these programs and determine that they have not been faithfully executed. | ||
as is his constitutional mandate and to hold those funds. | ||
I'm sure the president and his awesome team of lawyers are confident they will prevail in court. | ||
And so once they win that case and set the firm ground for pocket resisions and other forms of resisions and impoundments, then the ball's really going to start to roll. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Great job. | ||
Hey, give us a definition of these resisions. | ||
First time in 50 years, what is a resision? | ||
And then, you know, we've been talking all week about not only USAID, give us a link to any of the NGOs that are funded. | ||
Is that part of this story? | ||
And then the United Nations is that tied in at all. | ||
But first of all, what is a resolution? | ||
Great question. | ||
And forgive me for walking out a little bit. | ||
Presidents have always had the constitutional authority to empound funds. | ||
In 1973, the deep state took down Richard Nixon, and at the low point of the presidency, they were able to get through a series of laws to unconstitutionally bound the president's constitutional authorities. | ||
One of those laws was called the Impoundment Control Act. | ||
The Impoundment Control Act lays out a process for the president to send to Congress examples of funding that he would like to rescind and then they have the authority to either approve or decline the resisions that the president has proposed. | ||
All of this is utterly unconstitutional. | ||
The president should never have had to go to Congress to do this. | ||
But right now, that is the law of the land. | ||
And so a resolution is an example of the president sending to Congress a list of monies to rescind in line with the Empowerment Control Act. | ||
Until we get rid of the ICA, this is the way that the executive branch can cut spending. | ||
A pocket resolution, which is a version of that resolution I just described, is one in which no matter what. | ||
Congress says about it, because the funding expires within 45 days and because the president, when he proposes the resolution, gets to hold that money for 45 days. | ||
It's essentially held all the way until it expires, which means it can't be spent no matter what Congress does. | ||
So that's what's unique about what happened today. | ||
It's a nice little way of applying the law and opens the door to big changes to come. | ||
Now you asked, Yes, foreign aid to NGOs, UN, any other linkages like that. | ||
Yeah, one hundred percent. | ||
All of the money that's being rescindedinded is not spent by actual federal employees. | ||
It's it's being spent by NGOs who contract with the government to do their work. | ||
It's essentially laundered to left-leaning policy advocacy organizations who are doing nonsense stuff overseas via these contracts. | ||
And so that's where we're cutting off the pipeline. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And when you tell the American taxpayer their money's been used to fund left-wing things, I mean, it goes from policy to unethical to, you know, is there anything wor illegal? | ||
I mean, we're finding a lot of junk up there in the swamp lately that is illegal. | ||
Is there, have you seen any red blanking lights along those lines yet? | ||
Because we, you know, we want to correct these and nothing like the rule of law to, you know, sink the teeth in a little deeper. | ||
Great question. | ||
I am sure where there's smoke, there's fire and that you're going to dig deep and find examples of outright illegal behavior, to say nothing, as you say, of the grift, which is to say nothing of the wastefulness and wokeness of this funding. | ||
We've all read examples like Chelsea Clinton's wedding being paidid for by global aid money, that kind of stuff. | ||
Right, right, exactly. | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And I think it's only a matter of time before all that is brought to light and people start to pay the consequences. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Speaking of coloring it within the lines, let's go over to pivot to the Federal Reserve a little bit. | ||
Jim DeMint, one of the great leaders in the Senate, now off on the policy side, he tried to put in audit the Fed stuff. | ||
The parliamentarium shut him down in the Senate by his own Republicans, right? | ||
So this deep state. | ||
Uniparty stuff is problematic. | ||
Are you and Ed Corrigan, you know, is one of the leading, you know, scholars of the Senate rules and all this, and a great patriot as well. | ||
But what do you have in your reserve, you know, memory going back to, you know, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Jim DeMint, and the Federal Reserve has been very, you know, what's it called? | ||
Just, nothing sticks to it, right? | ||
You just can't catch these guys. | ||
They have deep state linkages all very deep. | ||
So give us what you know in a cou a couple of minutes there, Eric. | ||
There's a lot of great questions and important ones to ask about the Fed and heroes like Jim DeMint have been asking them for a long time. | ||
Right now, one of the fundamental questions that the president has been leaning into hard and rightly so is who is in control? | ||
The Constitution makes it very clear. | ||
There are three branches of government. | ||
You've got the legislative branch, the executive and the judicial. | ||
Where does the Fed land in that? | ||
The answer is in between. | ||
And that's not the way the founders set up our country. | ||
There is no place for unelected bureaucrats who are unaccountable to any actual authority that is responsive to the people. | ||
And so the president is rightly saying the Fed sure appears to fall under my executive authorities. | ||
And as President of the United States, I'm going to exert my authority to control the Fed. | ||
It's exactly what he should be doing. | ||
This fight has been a long time coming. | ||
Yeah, well that's right. | ||
Mike Davis was on early in the day and you just basically gave a very similar, almost exact account. | ||
Mike, it's a fourth branch of government that's not accountable to anyone. | ||
And the Congress are supposed to be under us. | ||
And then they come before us for with oversight. | ||
And unfortunately, not enough of the Congress members know enough to ask them tough questions. | ||
But we'll be back with Eric after the break. | ||
I want to say thanks to our great sponsors, Birch Gold. | ||
You've been seeing them on with Steve. | ||
We had them on yesterday. | ||
And so, you know, these times of turbulence, gold, I think, broke through its level today to its all-time high because of the global instability. | ||
We've been talking about with the wars, et cetera. | ||
And so, you know, make sure to look them up. | ||
Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold. | ||
Just text Bannon to the number 989898. | ||
Again, Bannon to 989898. | ||
9898 and consider diversifying a portion of your savings into gold. | ||
That way, if the Fed can't stay ahead of the curve, at least you can protect yourself. | ||
And so please contact our friends at Birchgold. | ||

All right, back in the war room. | ||
We are going to go to the illegal immigration topic relating to the truckers. | ||
We have been following this for years. | ||
President Trump, you know, widely came to power through the mega base and the issues related to, you know, a couple of key issues. | ||
One is end the wars end them and he's he's working his hardest to do that. | ||
And then the second was immigration. | ||
And this issue he's he's shut the border, but the implications of what? | ||
Biden has done to this country are just stunning. | ||
And so today we're happy to have on board Shannon Everett coming. | ||
He's speaking for the truckers. | ||
And so Shannon, welcome to the program. | ||
I think you're going to cover a few of the specifics, these crashes, but upfront, why don't you, how is this linked to immigration and the broader issues so that the war room gets what we're talking about here? | ||
Yes, so thank you for having us. | ||
We're always glad to be in the war room with the war room policy. | ||
And this matter of immigration in the trucking industry really stems from the exploitation of these third world countries. | ||
And so we're not having a problem with immigration from first world countries. | ||
The only countries that seem to be flooding the American trucking industry right now are countries like Ethiopia, India, Ecuador, Honduras. | ||
It's all places where these people are used to not making the same prevailing wage that an American truck driver makes. | ||
And so over the last four or five years, our industry has been flooded in certain zones around the country. | ||
And we've really done a good job here lately of tying this all together of exactly where they're coming in. | ||
And I'm sure you can probably guess exactly. | ||
where they're landing, and that's the sanctuary states across the country that everyone has been talking about. | ||
But we've also had a recent development where we've seen that even some red states have a little bit of this labor dumping situation going on with truck drivers, but in democratic metropolitan cities. | ||
And so like Miami, Florida, for example, we're having a problem there. | ||
We've also identified a problem area in Houston, Texas. | ||
And so it's really a massive problem because, I mean, when you talk about the trucking industry, it's over three and a half million jobs. | ||
And so, you know, there's been this narrative throughout the industry that we've got a driver shortage. | ||
And so we have to find a way to solve this shortage. | ||
And so we have several groups and special interest groups inside of the industry that have been trying to accomplish that with illegal immigration. | ||
The problem is they don't have the right interest or they don't have our interest in heart because they're not bringing in, they're not bringing in labor that's competitive to the American prevailing wage. | ||
And so, in doing so, they've, they've exploited the labor, they've put greed first and have made our highways very dangerous. | ||
And that's why the country is seeing all these explosions, these massive blow ups that we're not used to seeing. | ||
And that's because not only are they exploiting for the labor., but also they're they're not following the hours of service regulations they're not following the driver qualification regulations they're not following our and our RS regulations. | ||
And so when it comes to the hours of service, we have video evidence now of non citizen truck drivers driving down the road being dispatched by non citizen dispatchers overseas. | ||
And while the driver's driving down the road, they're manipulating the electronic logging device and changing their time. | ||
And so essentially these guys never stop. | ||
They work around the clock. | ||
We've seen that in the crash in Terrell, Texas back in the end of June when the guy had been up and had drove, had been driving straight on his logbook and had even backdated the date on the bill of lading for the load and manipulated the bill of lading so that it looked like he had left a day earlier. | ||
Because when the police pull you over, they know. | ||
if what time you left the shipper by looking at your bill of lading so they're going as far as to even manipulate that data so of course we're going to have massive crashes when when when the guys are not following our regulations and our hours of service. | ||
And so it's a huge problem. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Hey, on this, you know, President Trump, the illegal border crossings have gone way down. | ||
Are you seeing any reduction in the amount of illegal immigration? | ||
And then secondly, you know, this is all tied, you know, driving and the regs, all the regs you're mentioning and all this, the firms are mostly, what's the size of these firms? | ||
And are they going to be in legal jeopardy as well? | ||
Have any of the have we gone after? | ||
after have the feds gone after any of these firms when they do catch the folks who have caused these horrific crashes? | ||
Yeah, so you know the problem with the immigration the immigration definitely has stopped but we have so many people that got into the country over the over the last several years that all of these guys are already here and what so what hasn't stopped is they haven't stopped issuing these drivers these non-domicile commercial drivers license and so because they haven't stopped issuing them there's still this pipeline of illegal drivers or non-citizen uh workers that are here on these EAD cards and so you know, | ||
Trump administration is dealing with that, but we've got this lag here, or we've got this tail that's going to take a while to clean all that stuff up. | ||
When it comes to the accountability of all of this, they're definitely a lot smaller. | ||
A lot of these guys will get their driver's license, and then they'll go start a new DOT authority, but there are massive companies, billion dollar enterprises that are brokering to these drivers. | ||
And so even though they might not be directly hiring them, they are contracting to these drivers. | ||
It's kind of a willful blindness operation. | ||
And we're trying to bring a light to that right now. | ||
A great example of that is the recent crash that we had in Florida. | ||
No one has talked yet about who was the shipper, what load were they hauling and who were they hauling it for, and then who was the broker. | ||
Almost every time you see one of these crashes, these guys are working through a third party broker, but they're working for one of these Fortune 500 shippers. | ||
And so the American public deserved to know who hired these guys, who were they working for and what were they hauling. | ||
And through those processes is how we're going to really bring accountability. | ||
There's also a Supreme Court decision. | ||
The court hadn't taken it up yet, but there's a couple of brokers that's asking the Supreme Court to pick it up. | ||
And it's the issue of preemption. | ||
They're having because there's so many, so many more crashes today, almost all of these crashes involve these non citizen truck drivers. | ||
They're trying to get protection from the Supreme Court to say they're not liable for these accidents and they're not responsible. | ||
And so that would be a travesty right now if that were to happen. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
Hey, yeah. | ||
Shannon, in a minute to go, you're shedding light here. | ||
That looks like the major problem, right? | ||
These are sanctuary states. | ||
Everybody's hiding the football. | ||
So how do folks get hold of you? | ||
And then who do you recommend? | ||
The posse you got, millions of people listening to you. | ||
Who do they report it to? | ||
So we can help shine the light and where can people write letters or articles or whatever to bring this tragic stuff to an end. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So please follow us on all of our social media at ATU Truckers. | ||
We also have a website where you can come and register and tell us your story or ask for help for advocacy and that's at WWW dot americantruckers dot com. | ||
But we've really we've really got to fight this at a state level. | ||
We we we need to codify in to law protections when it comes to English language proficiency for our truck drivers and when it comes to the type of license that we will allow to come through our states. | ||
Just because Californians want to be radical doesn't mean we have to accept that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Good for you. | ||
All right. | ||
God bless you, Shannon. | ||
Thanks for being on the war room. | ||
We appreciate all you're doing. | ||
And thanks to all the truckers out there. | ||
And please help us solve this problem. | ||
We're going to go over to Chris Hoare right now. | ||
Chris, I hear you've got a great new product you're sharing with the war room today. | ||
Let us have it. | ||
What's going on? | ||
Well, hi, Dave. | ||
And thanks. | ||
It's great to be back here. | ||
We had this product we developed, the Bulletproof Ballistic Backpack, and we developed this., Dave, in conjunction with law enforcement and special forces friends here in San Diego. | ||
And we did that because we were tired of seeing kids getting killed in classrooms and having no way to defend themselves. | ||
And unfortunately, this week, we had another tragic incident, of course, in Minneapolis. | ||
And we made this bulletproof backpack to give people a way to fight back and to protect themselves and give themselves a fighting chance if they were so unfortunate as to be in such a terrible situation. | ||
Because look, any parent knows that they're buying a backpack for their kids every year, you know, and now we've got adults buying backpacks more than anything else. | ||
And we had that awful incidentident in Midtown Manhattan just a few weeks back where a gunman broke into that office building and multiple people were killed there. | ||
So, you know, you're not really safe anywhere today, but I think the number one thing that we're focused on is protecting our kids when they go off to school. | ||
And that's why we developed this. | ||
This backpack is only two pounds, two and a half pounds. | ||
It's 18 inches by 12 by five. | ||
You can see it at sat123.com. | ||
And normally this backpack is $199. | ||
But we're doing this for free with the free sat phone and activation, Dave, because we think that everyone, everyone should be able to get this backpack and afford it. | ||
And so of course., we're a satellite phone company primarily, and we are the only ones in the country who'll give you a free satellite phone with activation. | ||
A satellite phone will keep you connected no matter what. | ||
And we're right getting right into hurricane season, and we all know what can happen there. | ||
The towers go down, the power goes out, and that means your cell phone's not going to work, but a satellite phone will always work. | ||
And Dave, so this is something that we are the only ones who do it. | ||
You can get a free satellite phone. | ||
uh with activation at sat123.com or call 9418410844. | ||
that's 9418410844. | ||
tell them you saw us on the war room and they will give you a free satellite phone and a free bulletproof backpack so you can keep your kids safe when they go off to school. | ||
And if you don't need the phone, these backpacks are just $199. | ||
They but they are certified by the NIJ to level 3A. | ||
They will stop anything up to a 44 magnum handgun, a shotgun blast or anything up to 9 mm automatic weapons fired, Dave. | ||
Unreal. | ||
Very good. | ||
Chris Hoare, I was in Congress, folks. | ||
I had something on that order. | ||
What Chris is talking about, airports, school kids, crowds, risky situations. | ||
Look them up. | ||
Thanks, Chris. | ||
Thanks for being with us on the war room. | ||

|
All right. | |
We're going to be back with Brad Thayer right after the break. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | |
All right, folks, you all know the great Dave Walsh on the rolling blackouts and the genius of the green energy left and where they have left our country across many states and cities with rolling blackouts, unstable power supply. | ||
The Department of Energy just released a shocking report. | ||
Thanks to skyrocketing energy demand from electric cars and AI data centers, power outages could increase by ten percent thousand percent over the next few years. | ||
Look, if you don't have a backup generator, it's time to get one. | ||
And the one I recommend is the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at My Patriot Supply. | ||
Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume free and safe to use indoors. | ||
That's a big deal, yet it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home. | ||
We've partnered with Patriot Supply for years and right now they have one of the best deals we've ever seen. | ||
When you go to mypatriotsupply dot com slash Bannon and order a Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator, you get a free 3300 solar generator, you get a free expansion battery which doubles the power capacity of this system. | ||
They're doubling your power for free. | ||
Go to mypatriotsupply dot com slash Bannon. | ||
The free expansion battery offer is only available for a limited time. | ||
Go to mypatriotsupply dot com slash Bannon and get your solar generator today. | ||
You know what's coming at the end of the summer, the storms, the winters. | ||
Here it comes. | ||
Go to our friends and support them by buying a Grid Doctor 3300. | ||
Thanks very much, guys. | ||
All right. | ||

|
With us. | |
Okay, with us again today, we have Bradley Thayer, great Stephen K. Bannon covered the geopolitics on the show today, the Persians, the upgrading of the tensions in the Middle East. | ||
And then he covered in detail the upcoming meetings, but I want to go over those one more time. | ||
So Bradley Thayer, why don't you just update us after the bombings in Kiev? | ||
I think you covered that last time. | ||
Any breaking news after those bombings and then going into the M China Shanghai meetings next week, God just bring us up to speed. | ||
Thanks for being with us, Bradley. | ||
Oh, Dave, it's my pleasure. | ||
Great to be with you this afternoon. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The humanitarian disaster, of course, it's the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, the horrific attacks against Kiev that we witnessed yesterday. | ||
And the war is going on, the attacks are continuing. | ||
And this has to end. | ||
It has to end again because it's a humanitarian disaster, of course. | ||
There's always, secondly, the risk of escalation that could occur sucking in other parties, the US more directly, or escalating in terms of weapons that might be used. | ||
And then thirdly, it has to end because it's really impinging negatively, of course, on our foreign policy. | ||
The Trump administration is working assiduously to end the conflict and to come to some type of relationship with Vladimir Putin so that the relationship can improve. | ||
We can have an entente with Russia and thus work with Russia against the Chinese Communist Party, of course, which is the main threat that the United States faces, and indeed the world faces, from the CCP's aggression. | ||
So on Sunday and Monday there is going to be the next meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization or SCO. | ||
And that's a meeting of the major states of Asia, including the Central Asian states, China, of course, Russia, India as well, and Pakistan. | ||
So it's going to be occurring in China. | ||
Xi Jinping, of course, is hosting it. | ||
And it's really a symbol that Xi uses of the consolidation of the consolidation of anti-Americanism in international politics. | ||
So as we've talked about, Dave, we know that the relationship with India is going through a hiccup with the tariffs. | ||
Modi is going to be there in China, and that's a very important development because it's been years since he has set foot in China. | ||
But we also want to recognize that there are natural limits to how far that cooperation can go. | ||
Vladimir Putin must recognize he's made a mistake, starting that war and continuing it. | ||
The further it goes on, of course, the more indebted he becomes. | ||
to Xi Jinping, right? | ||
So he's really fettering himself to Xi Jinping and maximizing the PRC's influence with Russia. | ||
Putin is a very astute geostrategist. | ||
He recognizes the danger of that. | ||
Likewise, Modi, China and India have fought many wars, and there have been ongoing border skirmishes most recently in 2021, which have resulted, of course, in deaths. | ||
So there's considerable security competition, which is always present in the relationship between New Delhi and Bangladesh. | ||
So we don't want to make too much of this, right? | ||
Xi Jinping is going to tout it. | ||
And then it elides into the next day, of course, after September 1st is September 2nd, and that's the eighty-year anniversary of the end of World War II, where the world really reflects on that horrific conflict and its impact, of course, its profound impact on international politics, of course, on the United States and on almost every country that we're still going through. | ||
The day after that, September 3rd, Xi Jinping is going to host be present, right? | ||
That's an important symbol. | ||
Vladimir Putin will be at that meeting as well as Kim Jong Un and other leaders from other states like Myanmar and others. | ||
So it's Xi Jinping's actions. | ||
Will Modi be at that one? | ||
Will Modi be at that one? | ||
No. | ||
Is that significant? | ||
Very significant, Dave, right? | ||
Modi is saying he will show up for the SEO, but he's not going to participate in Xi Jinping's weaponization of the memory of World War II, right? | ||
He's not going to participate in that. | ||
That's a very important symbol which really. | ||
really underscores the natural limits of the coop of any type of relationship between New Delhi and Beijing. | ||
So the September 3rd parade is going to be an important symbol that Xi Jinping is weaponizing the memory of World War two to really demonstrate the PRC's strength in his own mind. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Let's back up to this Kiev thing and the hostilities there. | ||
And Putin, it seems to me, went to war for one reason. | ||
And we're we have that reason. | ||
It's called the Monroe doctrine for us. | ||
You're not going to be on my border, you're not going to be in my hemisphere. | ||
And he made it very clear and NATO has been invading on that, on those rules with seventeen other countries over the last couple of decades. | ||
And that was the last drop. | ||
And so we need a solution there. | ||
What is a potential solution? | ||
I heard a couple of analysts bring up a possible Switzerland kind of thing, where there's a deal that they become a neutral country and Putin's got his eyes on it. | ||
And it's a framework that we're not trying to fake them out. | ||
We're not saying it's part of NATO. | ||
We're not doing the security arrangements that look problematic. | ||
Do you think that has any weight or what's the what's the last best chance we have? | ||
Because without that peace falling in place, the rest of the cards look pretty weak. | ||
Well, it's I think there are several options, of course, or scenarios that might define or inform the end of this conflict, which, of course, as President Trump always stresses, never should have started and has gone on far, far too long. | ||
That is one, a Switzerland neutrality for Ukraine. | ||
I think is bordering on a reasonable solution. | ||
Ukraine in NATO is unlikely. | ||
Ukraine kind of semi with one toe in NATO equally unlikely because Article V has to remain resolute. | ||
You're either in NATO or you're not. | ||
There's no halfway house with respect to it. | ||
Sadly, Ukraine is going to have to accept the hard facts of international politics where territory is going to have their territory is going to have to be lost. | ||
I know. | ||
It's very painful to recognize that, but these are the cold, hard facts that we're facing. | ||
What's your, what's your explanation for why we can't just leave? | ||
I've had Sam Fattah say you can't just do that. | ||
You know, our side is saying that you can't just leave instantaneously. | ||
It, it, you know, it stinks of Vietnam and Afghanistan and chaos and, and, and, and, you know, Putin potentially could, you know, go for seizures more than we would if we had strong negotiations. | ||
But how do you read that one? | ||
Well, of course there's always the risk, but we want to be very careful here. | ||
Ukraine was never an US ally. | ||
We never had any security commitments to Ukraine, and we were never fighting their war. | ||
Yes, there might have been other activities of some government agencies and allied government agencies well ensconced in Ukraine, but it's not an ally of the United States. | ||
And that's very important to recognize when we're dealing with this situation. | ||
Did we ever promise them did we ever did we ever promised them any security arrangements? | ||
There were some, I can't remember if it was the US or the West, promises that if you could denuclearize, we promised something. | ||
What was that deal? | ||
Well, indeed, in 1994, right? | ||
Ukraine was born nuclear. | ||
Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan., inherited this part of the Soviet nuclear arsenal. | ||
And the West put great pressure on Ukraine to denuclearize, and it did. | ||
It surrendered its nuclear weapons, as Kazakhstan did, and Belarus did as well. | ||
There was an argument at that time that Ukraine should not have given up its nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons are a very powerful deterrent because they greatly increase the cost of war. | ||
But Ukraine did. | ||
And I'm sure there are many in Ukraine who rule the day, of course. | ||
But as a result of that, of course, we were cagey in terms of the commitment. | ||
Boris Johnson in the most recent round, of course, made all sorts of promises towards Ukraine that were, after reflection, of course, you know, that were certainly unable for the West to realize. | ||
And as John Mearsheimer continuously stresses, right, we led Ukraine down the primrose path for a long time. | ||
Right, it's terrible. | ||
And yes, let me pivot back. | ||
We have a couple of minutes. | ||
Yes, let me pivot back to the final piece. | ||
This China India thing has grave consequences. | ||
Is it possible in your mind for them to carry on? | ||
Economic relations, even if they differ on the geopolitical sphere, can they the bricks and all this, can they go forward with two tracks? | ||
That would be problematic for the US. | ||
What's your read on that? | ||
Sure. | ||
Indeed, they are because Xi Jinping is doing his utmost to undermine us in every respect. | ||
I mean, he wants to destroy the United States as the dominant state. | ||
He wants to weaken it. | ||
He wants to harm the American people as he's working every day attacking the homeland through fentanyl and so many other avenues of attack. | ||
So he's doing his utmost to advance along those lines, Dave. | ||
It's important, of course, for the audience to recognize that. | ||
So we should certainly expect that he's going to be employing the SEO. | ||
He's going to be doing his utmost in bricks to do so. | ||
But again, there are natural limits, really, to the relationship with India, right? | ||
New Delhi has its own interests and it's a real estate. | ||
It's going to pursue its own interests. | ||
So yes, there's going to be trade between China and India. | ||
There's going to be, of course, diplomatic, obviously, a strong diplomatic relationship. | ||
Yes. | ||
Ten seconds. | ||
Yes. | ||
But, you know, there are natural limits to it. | ||
That's what Trump is trying to do, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Employ the nation. | ||
Hey, the state's interests against him. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
How do people get to you, Bradley? | ||
Dave, I'm at X and Brad Thayer or Get Our Truth at Bradley Thayer. | ||
Thanks, Dave. | ||
See you next time. | ||
Awesome. | ||
No. | ||
Great job. | ||
Covered a ton of ground. | ||
War Room has been on this. | ||
Bannon's been on all this for a decade. | ||
Stay tuned. | ||
We're going back to Ben Berkwam at the Border Immigration. | ||
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
The End All right, folks, back in the war room with Ben Berquam. | ||
We had the truckers on earlier. | ||
Shannon Everett gave us the gory details of the serious crash that's taking place mainly in sanctuary states, right? | ||
So the politics matters here, the voting matters. | ||
It's pretty simple in politics. | ||
Your list has to be bigger than their list or we lose the country. | ||
So everybody get working on that. | ||
But Ben, you got a bunch of trucks coming out right behind you. | ||
What's the latest you've been hearing? | ||
I know you got trucking friends on the illegal immigration. | ||
They're cooking the books. | ||
They're violating every regulation. | ||
They're driving 24 hours. | ||
They're killing people. | ||
And so catch us up on that. | ||
And then I know you want to do more on the enemy within. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
So this is, I'm actually just outside of Laredo at the checkpoint, Border Patrol checkpoint. | ||
But just to give an idea, I want to give a shout out to my buddy Randy and Laura out of Ohio, truckers up there. | ||
And then my buddy Albert out of California. | ||
They've been trucking for years. | ||
And they've been talking to me about this for years. | ||
You know, the regulations have increased on them. | ||
It's harder for them to get loads. | ||
American citizens. | ||
It's just like every other industry, whether you're a contractor, any industry, you're a restaurant, you're hospitality, any of that stuff, you're competing with people that don't follow the rules. | ||
They don't follow the laws. | ||
They don't get the insurances. | ||
They don't get the bonds. | ||
And one of the things that's crazy, talking to Randy, he said some of the maintenance truck companies or truck maintenance companies won't even work on the illegal trucks. | ||
These guys have cut holes in the floorboards, excuse my language, to crap through because they're just, it's like, it's the third world mentality. | ||
So they'll literally keep driving. | ||
They'll have two drivers and they'll crap it's i don't want to talk about it anymore but it's it's that yeah it's that level of mentality it's the third world mentality that has been imported into America that now American citizens are having to compete against, and whether that's trucking or any other industry. | ||
And on top of that, now you've got these massive pieces of machinery, equipment that are obviously deadly weapons, and we've seen the impacts of that. | ||
And so it's just one more layer of what this idiocy of leftism gets you, where they care more about protecting transgender so they can go do shootings than they do about keeping people safe on the streets. | ||
Yeah, all related. | ||
Hey, do you have some, Denver, you say you got some footage? | ||
So on top of that, so we just rode with Ice San Antonio two days ago. | ||
This morning, we got exclusive Real America's Voice footage. | ||
I was there in Harlington, Texas, as a flight to Guatemala was taking off. | ||
Guatemala and Honduras, we were allowed on the plane when it was just the single adult males, about 80% single adult males. | ||
These guys, the bad ombres, as President Trump talks about. | ||
Every single day, day after day, we've got flights going out, but it's just the beginning. | ||
What Joe Biden let in, when you talk about 10 million illegals, you know, that's taking their numbers. | ||
If you take the unknowns, you're probably looking at closer to 15 or more. | ||
It's very easy to let them in. | ||
It's very costly to get them out, but Texas is doing everything they possibly can. | ||
The federal air marshals are there. | ||
They're joint operations with ICE and Border Patrol. | ||
They were operating on scene. | ||
All of these different agencies working together, but it's just the beginning of securing this country. | ||
This all goes back to Dave, what we were talking about yesterday. | ||
The enemies within our nation, the same organizations that were profiting off the invasion, that were training people on how to invade our country are the ones trying to protect them from being deported now. | ||
And that's where our efforts should be. | ||
That's where the DOJ should be focused. | ||
That's where Pambandi. | ||
Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, and I know they are looking there. | ||
I I am not going to feel comfortable first until we win more house seats, more MAGA house seats in the 2026 elections, and until we see major prosecutions in both politics and in all of these NGOs that are aiding and abetting this undermining of our country. | ||
Yeah, well, this is your world, you know, eVerify would work wonders. | ||
You know, if that went into law, these, you know, these sanctuary states will never do that. | ||
But is there any evidence, any word on the street that the incentive? | ||
The incentives, the pain of coming here, the price is high and it's keeping people, or are there any signs of folks going back voluntarily? | ||
US firms being, hey, this ain't worth it. | ||
I just not going to take the risk. | ||
Or in the sanctuary states has nothing changed. | ||
Where do we stand? | ||
Well, it's interesting. | ||
It's a tale of two states or a tale of two cities or a tale of two countries. | ||
So you've got the red states like Texas that are implementing it. | ||
All areas from the federal state and local level are working together. | ||
The illegals are running scared and so are the complicit individuals, U.S. citizens, legal immigrants that have been profiting off it or aiding and abetting. | ||
You see that. | ||
You feel the tension here. | ||
And in fact, you've got a huge number of people self-deporting. | ||
You've got illegals in these places self-deporting. | ||
They're using both the CBP home app, but they're also just leaving. | ||
We've got exit interviews of the illegals that are actually just going back across the border saying it's just not worth it. | ||
But you also have what you have is a flight into the sanctuary community. | ||
So you have people leaving places like San Antonio and places like Dallas and going to places like Chicago or trying to get to California because they feel like they're going to be protected there. | ||
So again, that's why it's just as critical that President Trump increases the enforcement, that Tom Holman, they increase the enforcement in those places. | ||
And as Karen Bass screams about it and as Mayor Johnson screams about it, they need to go into these places even more. | ||
And again, They need to arrest those politicians, but until then, they need to double. | ||
down on their efforts within those communities. | ||
unidentified
|
But it's not easy. | |
Yeah, well, Bannon's been saying to go full on maximalist policy across the board, well, we got it. | ||
And if we don't, if we don't get it done in a couple of years, we're in trouble. | ||
Ben, how do people get you, follow you, and how do you encourage the American people to share these platforms, you know, Steve's show, The War Room, your work, so that we win at the ballot box, right? | ||
All political views are my own, but that's what's at stake here. | ||
If we don't win at the ballot box, everybody gets mad. | ||
That's okay. | ||
But we got to spread the Republican meetings I go to, seventy people show up, right? | ||
It needs to be a thousand. | ||
So what's your words of encouragement to get the posse out there? | ||
Look, America's on our side. | ||
We just have to get out there and continue to share the information. | ||
Mine is at Ben Berkwam. | ||
Unfortunately, I'm a little shadow band on X right now. | ||
I think maybe because Steve is going so hard at Elon. | ||
But on everything else you can find me at Ben Verpo, my substack, Frontline America. | ||
But I would just encourage people. | ||
The citizens are on our side, the people are on our side. | ||
Don't believe the mainstream media, charge ahead, we win this thing. | ||
But you can't sit down. | ||
Yeah, very good. | ||
Thanks for being on, Ben. | ||
God bless you. | ||
Keep up the great work. | ||
I'm going to put in a little plug for Liberty University today on the hill. | ||
They have one of the swamp rags up there. | ||
Liberty University is ranked number one conservative school in the country top, the number one conservative school in the country. | ||
What do we conserve? | ||
In the beginning was the word, John one. | ||
In the beginning, the Creator, everything was made through the word. | ||
That's going back pretty far. | ||
That's what we're conserving, the Judeo Christian tradition, the values and virtues that made America great. | ||
And so I just want to thank you all for tuning in. | ||
Please share every platform with young people, with seniors. | ||
God bless you all. |
