I have received this afternoon a message from the Japanese government in reply to the message forwarded to that government by the Secretary of State on August 11. | ||
I deem this reply a full acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, which specifies the unconditional surrender of Japan. | ||
In the reply, there is no qualification. | ||
Arrangements are now being made for the formal signing of the surrender terms at the earliest possible moment. | ||
General Douglas MacArthur has been appointed the Supreme Allied Commander. | ||
commander to receive the Japanese surrender. | ||
Great Britain, Russia and China will be represented by high-ranking officers. | ||
Meantime, the Allied Armed Forces have been ordered to suspend offensive action. | ||
The proclamation of VJ Day must await upon the formal signing of the surrender terms by Japan. | ||
esteemed president putin my old friend i'm very glad to see you again in beijing | ||
Literally yesterday we participated together at the SCO summit and tomorrow we are going to attend along with other heads of state and other guests of honor from the five continents. | ||
We are going to celebrate together the 80th anniversary of the Chinese people victory over the Japanese invaders and our victory in World War II. | ||
Your Excellency, President Xi, my dear friend both myself and the entire Russian delegation we are glad to have this chance to meet again our Chinese friends our Chinese counterparts we are grateful for the warm welcome extended to our delegation our close communication reflects the strategic nature of the Russian-Chinese cooperation that is | ||
at the unprecedentedly high level, which was demonstrated during your official visit to Russia in May and our joint participation in the festival. | ||
in defensive events to commemorate the victory. | ||
We are gathered here representatives of the major warring powers to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored. | ||
The terms and conditions upon which surrender of the Japanese imperial forces is here to be given and accepted are contained in the instrument of surrender now before you. | ||
I now invite the representatives of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government and the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters to sign the instrument of surrender at the places indicated. | ||

|
Mr. President, this demonstrates just how profound and comprehensive our specially privileged strategic partnership truly is. | |
Even under the most challenging circumstances, India and Russia have always moved forward shoulder to shoulder. | ||
Our close cooperation matters not only for the peoples of our two nations, but also for ensuring global peace, stability, and prosperity. | ||
Japan accepted unconditional surrender according to the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration. | ||
General Jonathan Wainwright, liberated hero of Corregidor, and British General Arthur Percival, who was forced to surrender Singapore, stood at attention behind MacArthur as he began to write his name with the first of five pens. | ||
pen number one went to general wainwright The second pen was handed to General Percival. | ||
The third and fourth were marked for the National Archives and West Point. | ||
The fifth Mac kept for himself. | ||
These proceedings are closed. | ||
Joe, I thought that the summit at Tianjin was a significant setback for the United States. | ||
The image of Vladimir Putin holding hands with the leader of India, Indian Narendra Modi, was a sign that Putin is getting away with it. | ||
That three years into this war, he is now in claiming this was the West's fault. | ||
And he has an audience of prominent world leaders who agree with him, including someone who was a key person in America's efforts to create a new kind of informal partnership to contain China, namely India. | ||
India's repositioning toward Russia and China reverses diplomacy that has been conducted since the administration of George W. Bush at least, and it's a really significant setback. | ||
In terms of the broader outlook for Trump's foreign policy, he's now looking at the failures or lack of success in each of the major diplomatic initiatives that he undertook. | ||
The Ukraine war is still far from settled, and Russia is essentially thumbing its nose at President Trump. | ||
The Gaza war continues in a bloodier than ever direction that has got Israel divided against itself, just a terrible situation for Israel and the Palestinians, both. | ||
And Trump seemingly unable to make his peace policies one of the central things he ran on. | ||
I'm going to make peace to make those policies work. | ||
And this weekend summit was a symbol of just how tough the obstacles to him succeeding in foreign policy had become. | ||

|
At that moment, as if on cue, the sun came out. | |
And as the Japanese departed, a stunning aerial display. | ||
More than 2,000 Allied aircraft flew in formation over the Missouri. | ||
And Washington President Harry Truman marked the moment. | ||
There on that small piece of American soil, anchored in Tokyo Harbor, the Japanese have just officially laid down their arms. | ||
They have signed terms of unconditional surrender. | ||
Our first thoughts, of course, thoughts of gracefulness and deep obligation go out to those of our loved ones who have been killed or maimed in this terrible war. | ||
On land and sea and in the air, American men and women have given their lives so that this day of ultimate victory might come and assure the survival of a civilized world. | ||
No victory can make good their loss. | ||
We think of those whom death in this war has hurt, taking from them father, husband, son, brothers and sisters whom they love. | ||
No victory can bring back the faces they long to see. | ||
Only the knowledge that the victory which these sacrifices have made possible will be wisely used can give them any comfort. | ||
It is our responsibility, ours the living, to see to it that this victory shall be a monument worthy of the dead who died to win it. | ||
And our thoughts go out to our gallant allies in this war. | ||
to those who resisted the invaders, to those who were not strong enough to hold out, but who nevertheless kept the fires of resistance alive within the souls of their people, to those who stood up against great odds and held a line, until the United Nations together were able to supply the arms and the men with which to overcome the forces of evil. | ||
This is a victory of more than arms alone. | ||
This is a victory of liberty over tyranny. | ||
It was the spirit of liberty which gave us our armed strength and which made our men invincible in battle. | ||
And so on VJ Day, we take renewed faith and pride in our own way of life. | ||
We have had our day of prayer and devotion. | ||
Now let us set aside DJ Day as one of renewed consecration to the principles which have made us the strongest nation on earth and which in this war we have striven so mightily to preserve. | ||
Victory always has its burdens and its responsibilities as well as its rejoicings, but we face the future and all its dangers with great confidence and great hope. | ||
unidentified
|
God's help has brought us to this day of victory. | |
With his help, we will attain that peace and prosperity for ourselves and all the world in the years ahead. | ||
It is Tuesday, 2 September in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
It is the 80th commemoration, the 80th anniversary of the signing of the surrender document by Imperial Japan that brought the end to the bloodiest conflict in mankind's history. | ||
And symbolically, and this was done on purpose by the Chinese Communist Party and the KGB, they had a gathering in Shanghai over the last couple of days. | ||
to talk about a new world order that they intend to put together and to try to thwart the United States, which has done an absolutely horrific job in keeping our own house in order. | ||
Jack Besobic is with me. | ||
We're going to spend an hour going through this, talk about all the details of this, including how it cuts back to opportunities for citizens of the United States, our budget, the ticking time bomb of the government shutdown at midnight on the 30th, plus the President of the United States now telling Big Pharma and Bobby Kennedy, let's see the data. | ||
Let's see the information on the vaccines. | ||
Jack Besobic, you and I followed this pretty closely over the weekend of what's happening in Shanghai as she tries to take the mantle of the communists who really just fought the nationalists. | ||
They had very little engagement with the Japanese the entire time because all they wanted to do was control the country after the war. | ||
The Chinese Communist Party had virtually no engagement or very little engagement with the Japanese in China. | ||
All they did was fight the nationalists, preparing to try to take over the country, of which they did a few years after the peace treaty signed with the, or the surrender, I guess it was, signed with the Japanese. | ||
Of course, Morning Joe and all of it's got to bring it back to Ukraine, which we know is a completely failed effort. | ||
Jack Pasobik, your thoughts on a day 80 years ago that General Percival, who surrendered Singapore, and General Wainwright, who was ordered to surrender Corregidor and then went on the Bataan Death March, were very symbolically the first two officers that signed, co-signed the surrender document of the Japanese to take the Japanese surrender. | ||
Jack Pasobik, the floor is yours, sir. | ||
Well, Steve, when you really think about it, 80 years ago today, it seemed as though we were at the zenith of American power. | ||
And this really was the broadening and the opening of the American century, then push into the 1950s, and you see America has this sort of world dominance. | ||
In addition to, of course, though, you see the communists coming across on the land while the U.S. is able to maintain their dominance at sea. | ||
Of course, the fact that this was signed on a Navy battleship, the USS Missouri, is no small coincidence because it represented the sea power of the United States and the ability of the United States to use that Mahanian strategy. | ||
to enact the system under which we now live, which is this, they call it the global rules-based order, if you listen to Anthony Blinken. | ||
But of course, you now contrast that with what was going on on the land-based order. | ||
This gets into the Makinder World Island theory, and that's exactly what Russia, India, and China were up to this weekend at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization up there in Tianjin. | ||
Now, tonight, tomorrow, their time, Beijing time, will be this huge parade. | ||
So you're seeing most of the members of BRICS, although Lula, interestingly, not there. | ||
Of course, not member of SEO. | ||
So the Brazilians, I believe they sent some people, but Lula himself is not there. | ||
But what you're looking at is this super integration, okay, a super integration of the major land powers of the landmass of Asia and Eurasia with Russia, China, and India. | ||
And this super integration is becoming a parallel to NATO and the G7. | ||
Now you've got the SEO and BRICS building a parallel institution to this global rules-based order. | ||
And of course, India is there. | ||
We'll get to all of it. | ||
This is why four years ago, one of the reasons we started the end of the dollar empire, to warn people, and of course, Lula had a Zoom call yesterday with the folks that were there at the Shanghai conference. | ||
He had a BRICS call, Zoom call talking even more about these bilateral agreements which the Birch Gold guys found when they went to Rio. | ||
to thwart the dollar even more. | ||
Gold blowing through 3,500 reached an all-time high as we were coming on the air over 3,500 dollars. | ||

By the way, tonight, I think at 10 o'clock, the new Federal State of China is going to be streaming the parade, the 3 September parade with the Chinese Commons Xi and Putin and all that. | ||
Modi is not going to be there, which I think is very important, very symbolic. | ||
I will be to the degree that I'm around. | ||
I'll be jumping in on that. | ||
We're going to have that up on our Getter site and on Rumble. | ||
Jack Pasovic. | ||
So much more going on, too. | ||
I'm going to get to everything that's happening because now after Labor Day, you're going to have a mad rush. | ||
September is going to be absolutely crazy, folks. | ||
So much stuff going on. | ||
And let's make it a good crazy as we hurdle towards a government shutdown on 30 September or having to eat an NDAA and a omnibus that's got, I don't know, a $2 trillion deficit for next fiscal year. | ||
But I think people are awakening. | ||
to the fact that the big beautiful bill either has to be sold harder or you have to have another reconciliation where maybe, wait for it, you actually tax the wealthy. | ||
More on that later as we progress through this. | ||
Jack Bishopic. | ||
The Second World War is not Pearl Harbor. | ||
It's not Normandy. | ||
It's not the Holocaust. | ||
It's all of that, obviously, and so much more. | ||
At the end of the day, it was a fight for the Eurasian landmass, of which, I don't know, 100 million casualties in that fight. | ||
of which the United States with Great Britain, but particularly the Russian, the Red Army, the Russian people, and the Chinese people, Liao Beijing, actually broke Imperial Japan and broke the Nazis and the fascists in Italy. | ||
Today, folks are not taught the history of the Second World War and therefore really don't understand fully what we're commemorating today on the 80th anniversary of that. | ||
The people that fought it certainly did. | ||
You can tell about how geopolitically they went about it. | ||
I think that the leaders of our country would be quite disappointed that given all the sacrifice, all the blood, all the agony of our getting engaged there, which we did not want to until we were forced to by being attacked and then the Nazis, two days after or three days after being attacked at Pearl Harbor, declared war on us. | ||
I always want people to understand we did not declare war on Nazi Germany until after they declared war on us, that the architects of that victory and the young men who sacrificed their lives for that victory would be quite disappointed 80 years from that time that we've allowed some of the worst actors in the world. | ||
to try to reconvene and to try to take not just the Eurasian landmass, but the entire world. | ||
And so an America-First policy has to be to partner with the correct people. | ||
And I think the Russian people are someone that we ought to think long and hard about partnering with, not Putin and the KGB. | ||
Obviously, they're not the best actors in the world, but this feckless, you know, NATO allies. | ||
And let me be specific, all the happy talk you saw here at the Oval Office two weeks ago, the big talk, they're going to do this, they're going to do that. | ||
The head of the EU, the president was talking over the weekend about an army they're going to put together and troops they're going to send to the line of contact in Ukraine. | ||
And yet we have this morning a crisis in England. | ||
The bond market is throwing up all over their government securities. | ||
They're facing a financial crisis. | ||
Macron and this is Politico reports, this is Bloomberg reports, Macron and his government are in a crisis this week where Le Pen's now rising in popularity as they're facing a financial crisis. | ||
As we forecast here in the war room two years ago, that both of those, Germany's already in a major recession, but those two are hurtling towards it. | ||
They have a mass immigration problem. | ||
You're hurtling towards a civil war in the United Kingdom. | ||
You put up the cross of St. George. | ||
You put up a flag of England and the police come around and trying to lock you up. | ||
So with all these problems, right, now we see the Chinese Communist Party, which is the major font of all evil in the world plotting against us. | ||
And what they're focused on right now, folks, is to take down and destroy the U.S. dollar as the prime reserve currency. | ||
That's where their banks are buying gold in record rates because they intend, as we reported, or as the Birch Gold guys reported. | ||
from Rio, it's all these bilateral deals. | ||
So you have the worst actors in the world, particularly Lula. | ||
And today or tomorrow, we're going to get the verdict on Bolsonaro and Bolsonaro is going to be found guilty and he's going to go to prison and they're going to try to assassinate him in prison. | ||
This is why his health is deteriorating so rapidly. | ||
Jack Posobik, put it in perspective for us. | ||
Where on the 80th commemoration, 80 years ago, what would the folks, the architects that won the Second World War from the United States of America, the rising superpower, what would they think? | ||
would they think today on the 80th anniversary of it? | ||
Well, you know, Steve, it's very interesting because you would, you go back, you talk to the boys in Normandy, you look at some of the public opinion pieces, or for those of us who were blessed enough and gifted enough to have had the opportunity to meet that living generation, which we're losing now that those living links between our families and our forefathers, our recent forefathers who fought in World War II and their opinions, you can go and listen to them. | ||
You can listen to them over and over. | ||
And they tell you, they say, this is not what we fought for. | ||
We didn't fight for our cities to be destroyed and turned into dumps and slums. | ||
We didn't fight for these open air drug markets to And yet they're locking up people over memes. | ||
They locked up a cartoonist or a comedian over a couple of tweets just recently. | ||
A left-wing guy, by the way, just locked him up. | ||
I think that was earlier today. | ||
And they're putting a huge fine on him. | ||
So you come back and say, oh, we fought for freedom. | ||
Well, what freedom? | ||
What freedom do we still have? | ||
Now, here in the United States, fortunately in 2024, we were able to turn away from that. | ||
But you still look at what's being pushed on Western Europe now, particularly Poland, of course. | ||
And they're going to be here in the United States with the Polish president meeting President Trump in just a couple of days. | ||
They're now at a precipice where they were trying to impose this on Poland, but the people of Poland said, stood strong and said, Absolutely not, because we don't care if the tyranny is coming from Berlin or Brussels or Moscow, we say no. | ||
And that's what the people of the United States did as well, but at the same time you still have people all over the world looking at these bastions. | ||
Look, when we talk about this history of freedom, these ideas, they came from the United Kingdom and now suddenly that's where they're falling apart. | ||
And by the way, Australia and I had the opportunity to speak on Sky News Australia over the weekend massive rallies across every single major city in Australia over the weekend. | ||
Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, tens of thousands of people marching for freedom and marching against mass migration. | ||
They said mass migration is a silent invasion and this has become the watchword of the Western world. | ||
So while we're trying to recalibrate our freedoms here in the Anglosphere, in Western civilization, what do we see going on on the landmass of Eurasia? | ||
We're seeing this super integration far beyond anything that they were able to do because we talk about the end of World War two and it was certainly the formal war ended today eighty years ago. | ||
But look at what happened just after. | ||
You have the Chinese communists winning in Beijing just a couple of years later in 1949, so four years later after they restart the civil war with what the backing of the Soviet Union. | ||
Why? | ||
Because the Soviet Union had been able to invade through Manchuria. | ||
It was Manchukuo at the time, taking the entire industrial base up there in the northeast. | ||
And they were able to use those arms and everything that they captured from the Japanese hand that over to Chairman Mao. | ||
Now he's pushing the nationalists out in Shanghai Sheikh because we totally cut him off. | ||
We sold him out. | ||
He's got to flee to Taiwan. | ||
That's what set up the Taiwan situation, which remains to this day. | ||
They pushed down into Korea a couple of years later, but really just one year later, and that sets up the Korean War. | ||
So you have all of this aftermath that goes on on the Asian landmass as a connection between what communism is doing out of Moscow into the fall of China, which the United States either stood back and watched or was given to them as a dowry over there at the conference in yalta the same way we gave them eastern europe so how does it how how does world war two actually end right if you if you think about it who | ||
comes out of world war two on top joseph stalin comes out of world war two with a communist empire that stretches from berlin all the way to beijing and that is a history that needs to be reckoned with well after 1943 There was arguments even said the government that we're giving too many arms to the Russians, right? | ||
The Russians obviously were going to be the instrument to break the back of the Wehrmacht, the German army. | ||
But there are a lot of people that say a lot of people are in China, the government were saying, hey, including some of the America First people in Congress, hey, we're given, there's one thing to have them as an ally, as bad as the Bolsheviks are, as bad as the Soviets are, but we can't, we oversupplied them. | ||
There's no question about that. | ||
And I agree with you. | ||
The World War II actually started in the mid-1930s, early 1930s in China, right, on the landmass, not just the Spanish Civil War. | ||
but the invasion, yeah, the invasion, and it didn't end until, and it still hasn't. | ||
It's really just an armistice. | ||

Gold, as I said today, blew through 3,500. | ||
It's also not the price of gold. | ||
I think gold's up, what is it, 30% this year or something? | ||
It's not the price of gold. | ||
It's the process, the converging forces. | ||

We're also working on the 8th and 9th, so more on that coming. | ||
You understand the logic of the bricks. | ||
You have to understand how your enemy thinks. | ||
And right now, the BRICS are the enemy of the United States of America, no doubt about that. | ||
That's where we've got to keep India out of it. | ||
Jack Bisobik, to have the rapprochement with Russia and the Russian people, you've got to sort out Ukraine. | ||
Let me just be blunt because we have not been wrong on this yet. | ||
And we said it the day that the chaperones were here, taking up all that time of President Trump. | ||
They don't have the financial wherewithal, the political will, or the military capacity to add anything to Ukraine. | ||
They gave a bunch of happy talk that day, but they went back with over to the Ukrainian embassy and there was that picture with Zelensky trying to sell them but they got nothing zero it's all happy talk the British economy is collapsing the French economy is collapsing the German economy's already in a recession There's no political will of the people to do this. | ||
They don't have any arms. | ||
They have no armies. | ||
They can't defend themselves. | ||
They depended upon the underwriting of the United States of America. | ||
That's why folks over the next two weeks, they're going to have a must-pass NDAA National Defense Authorization Act that's basically going to lay out over one trillion dollars defense budget for the good old United States of America that you are paying for and that your kids are signing up for. | ||
And that is because they want to get us into Ukraine big league. | ||
It's not going to happen. | ||
President Trump's not going to let that happen. | ||
But Jack, right now the Russians are pounding. | ||
Zelensky says we're going to pound back. | ||
I'm sure they will. | ||
As long as they have the arms and somebody gives them money and arms, they'll continue to pound back. | ||
It's not about the courage or valor. | ||
of the Ukrainian people. | ||
Hell, 1.8 million of them are either dead or wounded in this fight. | ||
And I think now it's pretty obvious that the Russians are going to focus on taking Odessa before they have any. | ||
discussions about shutting this thing down, what thoughts are? | ||
Well, Stephen, not only that, but you talked about the political precariousness position that many of the leaders of Western Europe are facing, but Zelenskyy himself is in a precarious position. | ||
This is why just last week Zelenskyy was able to reopen the borders. | ||
People know that, of course, military aged men in Ukraine since the war began were not allowed to leave the country. | ||
So when we traveled in a couple of times earlier this year, what did we see at the train station? | ||
It's women and children. | ||
The women and children are heading out of Ukraine and they've gone into Polandand in large amounts and of course further on into Germany and other parts of Western Europe. | ||
But now just last week, Zelenskyy because of his own political position, he's allowed eighteen to twenty year old men, eighteen to twenty two, are now allowed to leave Ukraine. | ||
You can read this all over the media. | ||
You saw videos flooding all over social media. | ||
So eighteen to twenty two year olds now able to leave. | ||
This new regulation was just confirmed on august 26. | ||
And that of course doesn't mean that they can't volunteer. | ||
They can't necessarily go ahead and say they want to join the military, but it does allow them to leave because the pressure has been building up so much. | ||
And this has really been the issue from the very start. | ||
There's been two inextricable factors to this entire war that you and I have talked about for three and a half years now, Steve, and that's been energy and manpower. | ||
So we talked on the very first day of this how energy strategy and the feckless nature of Western Europe and their ridiculous energy strategy with the windmills and going green and all of this had played a huge role in setting this off. | ||
We talked about Greta. | ||
She's back in the news again with her new haircut. | ||
He man, well, he wants to do it once his hair comes back. | ||
The fetish hang on, hang on, the fetish of decarbonization. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
It's a fetish of decarbonization that destroyed Germany as a major industrial power. | ||
They're in a recession for one reason. | ||
They've tried to decarbonize this radical climate agenda, right? | ||
And at the same time being dependent upon Russian natural gas. | ||
Well, they were getting some cheap Russian natural gas, but something happened to that pipeline that no one seems to answer what exactly happened to that thing, by the way. | ||
Not sure if we can get a straight answer on that one. | ||
The Danes haven't given us. | ||
But I think the Danes know. | ||
They just know that they're not allowed to say. | ||
And, you know, when you look at the pipeline diplomacy, by the way, if you want to talk short term effects on this of the SEO meeting when you see, as Xi Jinping called it, the dance of the dragon and the elephant that it's very clear. | ||
India is going to continue purchasing the cheap oil from Russia, the cheap natural gas. | ||
And China, what did they do? | ||
They just inked and locked in a pipeline, a new pipeline, Power of Siberia 2 is going to be crossing Mongolia going from Siberia directly to where Beijing. | ||
So they're locking in and solidifying this relationship, financial, economic, military, security and then of course you and none of this none of this if they have these new structures in place the seo and the bricks it's not going to need to flow through any western banks which the Russians aren't going to want to do because what happened the last time they used western banks everything was frozen so guess what that means that the war machine gets to keep pumping | ||
now i said the second factor of course was manpower the manpower issue it is what it is and the western by the way uh Steve you mentioned the coalition of the the unwilling well we have the coalition of the unwilling but of course don't forget folks that Britain and France would love to send a bunch of Poles to go and fight in Ukraine. | ||
They'd be more than happy to send a ten thousand, twenty thousand Polish men to go and fight in Ukraine, but they're not going to send any of their own people. | ||
And why? | ||
Because of the political position they're in right now. | ||
So when you hear these numbers, we're going to get twenty thousand together, we're going to fit they're talking about Polish people. | ||
They're talking about sending Polish citizens to go and fight the Russian war machine. | ||
And that's the war machine that when you look over in these eastern Russian speaking provinces has continued throughout all of these talks, throughout all of these meetings, they've continued to ground and pound the Ukrainian military in many of these areas. | ||
and a few places, by the way, also breaking through. | ||
This is a massive front line, 600 mile front line that they've kept open this entire time. | ||
And what are the Russians doing? | ||
Just like a chest strategy, they're holding back and they're waiting for the Ukrainian military to attempt these counteroffensives. | ||
And then when they come forward, they're using their artillery, they're using drones, they're using everything at their command. | ||
I was watching some videos last night where they showed that They have to put their barracks underground, even deep into the backfield into Lviv, because whether it's surveillance, whether it's intelligence networks, and of course Russian intelligence is all over western Ukraine, the same way, by the way, American intelligence has been there. | ||
We know the CIA has been there for a long time. | ||
We know that the U.S. military has been running a lot of this out of that gymnasium in Germany. | ||
So this is really a situation where when you talk about and when we went up to Anchorage and sat down and talked about how it's a Ukraine-Russia war, you really can't extricate the United States from the massive amount of involvement we've had in this. | ||
This has been a proxy war from the very start between NATO and Russia. | ||
And now the game's up because the, and I think that was a great thing about President Trump having the chaperones come because now they've been exposed in all their phoniness. | ||
They're barely, listen, these are governments that wanted and invited in mass migration, the mass invasion from North Africa and the Middle East. | ||
And now each one of these governments are teetering on collapse. | ||
I think Starmer's approval rings are in the low 20s. | ||
They're talking about Sadiq Khan actually replacing him. | ||
Sadiq Khan, the Muslim Brotherhood frontman. | ||
front man that has totally changed London, just like Mandani is going to change New York City when they take over. | ||
The red-green alliance of these neo-Marxists with the jihadists, you're going to see New York City become the new London. | ||
And now you get every Democrat running to endorse Zoran. | ||
But it's the collapse of these governments and they can't provide any manpower. | ||
You're seeing the exact same thing. | ||
in Israel yesterday or Sunday, excuse me, Sunday, and this comes from the Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel, I think it was a 12-hour cabinet meeting where the IDF is essentially saying, and this is the IDF commander who was pretty blunt and saying, hey, before I came in in March, you had taken zero of Gaza. | ||
I've taken 70% of it since I've been the head of IDF. | ||
And he's adamantly opposed, it looks like, to the plan that Netanyahu and these guys have of going door to door in Gaza with the bad actors, but more importantly, then having an occupation. | ||
And he's saying, hey, you're going to have to have a military – basically a military government in Gaza run by the IDF and we can't do it. | ||
I mean they had a brutal – they had a brutal – Remember, they had this huge political issue where they had the young men, the parents didn't want them to fight in Ukraine because they were just being led to the slaughterhouse. | ||
In Israel, you got it differently. | ||
I guess the ultra-orthodox young men, for a host of reasons, culturally, religious, et cetera, won't fight or have been excluded. | ||
Now a lot of the Israeli citizens are against that. | ||
They want them to serve. | ||
The IDF just has a massive manpower problem to have to go into Gaza. | ||
And Gaza is going to be like some of the tough battles in Najaf and Fallujah in Iraq. | ||
We have to go door to door in these bloody clearing exercises. | ||
Jack Posobic. | ||
So the manpower issue is massive in Israel right now to finish what they started in Gaza, sir. | ||
Well, Steve, not only that, you mentioned the ultra-orthodox. | ||
This was a key point in BB Netanyahu being able to secure right before the Iran campaign began a couple of weeks ago, a couple of months ago now at this point between Israel and Iran. | ||
What did we see? | ||
We saw this key situation where BB Netanyahu's political coalition almost fell apart, but it was that ultra-orthodorthodox party that said, We will remain with you, but what we want is a carve out. | ||
It was about being drafted into the reserves and being sent to fight. | ||
And the ultra-orthodox in Israel, this has been a longstanding issue of them. | ||
It's kind of like the Quakers in the United States. | ||
We don't fight, we're pacifists, we're against that. | ||
But even then, because every other, and everyone knows about the compulsory military service in Israel, every single other group there says, Wait a minute, why do you guys get special favors? | ||
So the situation has become politically untenable as well as militarily untenable because it is an unpopular war internationally and domestically. | ||
leading to these fractures and not only within the political governance in the Knesset but also within the IDF. | ||
But of course, you're seeing them push forward because, and I believe that Netanyahu firmly believes that this is the best policy for Israel going forward. | ||
You saw him starting to release more footage from October 7 over the past weekend, bringing up some of those videos from that October coming up, I think on the second anniversary of all that. | ||
I remember when those videos came out and we played what we could at the time of those horrific events. | ||
But, you know, now people are looking at two years later and they're saying, wait a minute, we see horrific videos every day single day coming out of Gaza. | ||
And also when you talk to the soldiers, they're looking at it saying, wait a minute, this would be like going door to door in New Delhi with a populace that is extremely and increasingly hostile to us, many cases fighting for their children. | ||
And then, of course, Steve, what do you see from the Christian community, Catholic community, they're staying put? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Jack, hang on for one second. | ||
We're getting to all that. | ||
Short break. | ||
Jack Posobik is with us this morning in the war room. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
Okay, I see some breaking news that... | ||
They ought to do it with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
They're doing, if you cut off, you wouldn't have an Iranian or Persian problem if you stopped allowing the mullahs to get cash flow by selling, I think 80% of the energy needs of China right now. | ||
As all these other pipelines are being built, it still comes from the mullahs, from Iran. | ||
You cut that off, and you can cut that off easily because it's supposed to be sanctioned. | ||
And now it's supposed to be double sanctioned because of the Ukraine war. | ||
You cut that off, the Moolis drop of cash flow. | ||
The Persian people take care of it. | ||
It's their call. | ||
You know, don't we have enough track record in our long engagement with the Shah and everything that that brought to understand what the Persian people want to do? | ||
If they want to overthrow these guys, cut off the cash flow and let's see how it plays out. | ||
We can't do. | ||
Bibi is going to try to divert everybody's attention from his own. | ||
own mangled handling of Gaza. | ||
This is his responsibility, and he can put out all the October 7th videos he wants. | ||
What we want to see is an official inquiry into October 7th on this very show, on that very day, in that very moment, Jack Pesobik on that Saturday show, who is a naval intelligence officer. | ||
Jack, we talked about it's just impossible that the Mossad and Shenzhen and American intelligence, it's just, it's just, it's incredible, right? | ||
As bad a job as they've done on the intelligence in Persia, what happened on october 7th still haven't answered the questions they need to have a pearl harbor type inquiry uh into exactly what went on or 9-11 commission not that the 9-11 commission or pearl harbor ever got to the answers but it began the process to get to the answers we haven't we haven't seen that yet but bebe is no doubt right now his whole thing he had an interview with joel pollock last week his whole | ||
thing is you can't be maga and be anti-Israel. | ||
Look, you can be pro-Israel. | ||
You can be anti-Israel. | ||
You can do anything you want. | ||
As long as you're America first and not Israel first, you can be MAGO. | ||
So we don't need a foreign leader, particularly a vassal state. | ||
They are a protectorate. | ||
They are a protectorate. | ||
You saw this in the 12-day war. | ||
They didn't have the ability, didn't even come close to the ability to take out the nuclear enrichment program, including the above ground, the above ground, which Navy submarines with Tomahawk missiles, which I might add, Jack Kirkman, if I'm wrong, the Tomahawk is a 1970s technology. | ||
Okay? | ||
For the vaunted Israeli Air Force, we had to take out the above ground with Tomahawk missiles from the North Arabian Sea. | ||
We also had to protect by sending Aegis cruisers and our air defense and 25% of our THAAD missile defense to basically provide missile defense for Tel Aviv and other areas because the Iron Dome and David Sling and all this stuff they promote didn't work to the degree that the ballistic missiles and what the Iranians and Persians were hitting them with. | ||
This is why President Trump did the massive raid and President Trump is locked in. | ||
He's saying, hey, total obliteration. | ||
obliteration of their nuclear enrichment program. | ||
So end of discussion. | ||
They want to have regime change. | ||
Let the Persian people do it or the Israelis if they can finish what they started and don't need to drag us in which obviously they need to drag us in and they're going to try to drag us into Gaza that's what we have to be on guard about because this Gaza thing as tough as the IDF is and this commander of the IDF is a pretty tough ombre When a guy like that saying, | ||
hey, I think we really got to think this thing through before we do this, and I don't like the way BB and these guys, I mean, he in this meeting, and this is what's reported by the Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel and even all the right-wing bloggers, he threw up to BB and these guys. | ||
Where were you guys on October 7th? | ||
Where were you on October 8th? | ||
Where were you on October 9th? | ||
So there's a big gap now that you're seeing between the IDF and the politicians, sir. | ||
Well, and Steve, you also have President Trump coming out in this really incredible interview, and I've been able to parse through a lot of it with the great Reagan Reese over at Daily Call or Oval Office interview, and he mentions Israel, and he says that, and I want to read the quote, they have to get that war over with, but it is hurting Israel. | ||
There's no question about it. | ||
They may be winning the war, but they're not winning the world of public relations, and it's hurting them. | ||
Israel was the strongest lobby 15 years ago that there's ever been, and now it's been hurt, especially in Congress. | ||
So that's President Trump's statement, and we know President Trump obviously has sided with Israel throughout all of this, but at the same time, he's now also pointing out that this is something that he would like to get over with soon. | ||
You mentioned before I let you go, I know you got a bounce. | ||
By the way, there's supposed to be a big announcement today from the White House at 2 p.m. | ||
Barbara Noyore calling it live and check, check, check. | ||
You're going to say what? | ||
What's the announcement? | ||
Well, we've the word on the street is that it has to do with defense. | ||
I know the Democrats and are claiming that it has to do with the President's health, which is amazing, by the way, because the Democrats spent four years telling us that there was nothing wrong with Joe Biden. | ||
I rem I've ever seen up there. | ||
He's smart, he's articulate, he's going, he's waxing poetic. | ||
Well, you know, Biden can't even find his way off a stage. | ||
But, and then Trump and Political Playbook this morning, by the way, completely lied about the fact that Trump held the longest cabinet meeting in record. | ||
They said he had no public events. | ||
I said, what do you mean? | ||
I was standing there on the South Lawn for three and a half hours waiting for a meeting to get done. | ||
What do you mean, no public events? | ||
We all watched it like we're at, like, you know, a marathon episode of The Apprentice or something, or going around the room. | ||

room. | |
But, you know, I guess Politico just wants to live in their fantasy world. | ||
You know, they need to get, need to get some, need to get Dasha and some other people back on that thing because it was good for a minute, but now it's gone to the dogs for sure. | ||
Department of War. | ||
