This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to the third annual Human Events special strategy session with none other than the War Room Commander, Stephen K. Bannon.
This may be the most monumentous strategy session we've done, because we usually do these, and it's the year-ender here, going into the new year, but this is the first time that we've done one going into a presidential election year.
You know, Jack, I actually went back and checked our forecasts in the strategy session from last year, and I want to report To the Human Events Daily audience, you know, because Jack does such an amazing job.
It turns out I was 100% right.
Jack was about 50-50, so not bad.
We're getting better.
We're getting better.
We're like Rush Limbaugh.
We're increasing every day, the accuracy rating.
I'm just kidding.
I'm glad to do this third year.
Here's the thing.
Every year has gotten more intense.
I don't think we were even accurate enough To talk about the intensity of the year that's coming.
Look, we said 2023 would be rough.
Wow.
We had no idea.
Nothing.
Had no idea.
So when you're looking out, you know, it's the CO's job to keep an eye on the horizon, to not just steer the ship, but to guide the ship.
So what are the rocks?
What are the challenges that you see?
And as we sit here, we're recording it at AmericaFest.
This is airing now on New Year's.
The 2024 election starts in two weeks.
I think it already started.
Wow.
Look, This coming year, and that's what I think, over the holidays, it's a good time to actually take a day or two off, you know, reflect on where you've been personally, reflect on what your commitment to this movement is, what's your commitment to saving the country, and what you're prepared to put into that as far as your being goes, because I think we're about to be tested.
In fact, I know we're going to be tested this year.
I don't think any generation has been tested or any group of people have been tested since either right before the Civil War or right before and during the American Revolution.
That's why I said at the speech the other night, 250 years ago, you know, a couple days ago was the 250th anniversary of The Boston Tea Party.
That's right.
And it's direct lineage with this generation today that is really a revolutionary generation.
But like those guys and men and women were tested and thank God in heaven they came through.
We're going to be tested also.
And the key is this because the tea That was dumped into Boston Harbor was tea from the British East India Company by way of Guangzhou, China.
The tea was from Guangzhou, and so you look at it... Nobody ever remembers that.
Made in China tea, right?
And you and I have talked about this, is the British Empire was just the globalist system of the time.
And there's a way to look at the American Revolution and the American founding as, yes, we know about the Declaration and the Rights of Man and natural rights and John Locke and all that, got it.
There's also a dimension to it of the establishment of the United States as a nation-state separate from the global system.
There's a lot of parallels between that and the fight we find ourselves in today.
That's an absolutely brilliant point.
I think if you talk to people who have majored in history or government or political science or have interest in these areas, you're trained in high school and then really in college and in advanced courses.
To think about the philosophers of the Enlightenment and different theoretical and the learning and knowledge that went into the Declaration of Independence.
And I say, look, don't get me wrong, the Declaration of Independence is a divinely inspired document, but that was a group of smart lawyers who could not cut a deal with the king and made a decision to leave an empire that was on the ascendancy.
Wait, wait, wait.
And then, and then they couldn't get a loan.
Couldn't get a loan.
Not in the room, not in the deal.
Hold it.
Got somewhat of a loan from the French later.
Later.
That caused a revolution.
This thing had dominoes falling.
After a little bit of money down.
All about money and all about power.
But it was about money and gunpowder.
Yes.
Remember, the whole fight at this, the whole thing was... A whiff of grape shot.
A whiff of grape, hold it.
This thing was all about, remember the American colonists being Americans.
didn't want to pay taxes.
That's right.
It was to pay for the French and Indian War.
Right?
They didn't pay the bill.
Because they said, hey, come on, man.
We drove the French out here.
Got the Mohawks off you.
Which, by the way, you bring this up around-- I guess I got the Iroquois off you.
When you bring this up around Rahim, that's the first thing he goes to.
100%.
The first thing he goes to is that you Americans, don't pay your debts.
Don't want to pay taxes.
But no one looks at it as a part of an economic system.
We're in a very similar situation today.
You had a global empire with a landed aristocracy that was quite arrogant and quite frankly not all that smart, but had tons of enforcers around them in the crown, plus monopolistic power of things like the British East India Company.
And what our framers said is that They saw that as tyranny, and they said, we'd rather split off and roll the dice in this vast wilderness, right, with very low resources, major natural resources, but very few... But undeveloped resources.
Undeveloped, very few human resources, and not a lot of capital.
And, oh by the way, the two other great empires sharing the same continent at the time.
Yes.
So you got the French... And Spain.
And then you got Spain.
Yes.
And everybody wanted to carve this up, but That's why it's very similar today.
This is about liberty and tyranny and breaking off from an American empire driven by an administrative deep state that no one ever intended.
There was never a vote to do this.
There was never a debate on whether we're going to do this.
It just kind of happened and that's what the deep state did.
It's this fourth branch of government that the framers at the time, if the framers came back They would sit there and go, well, we're with the AmFest guys, right?
We're not with the administrative state and the deep state.
This is what we broke off from.
That's the tyranny that we broke off from.
Well, and this is why you don't see many arguments about this in the Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers.
You do see it.
The one place you do see it is in the litany of grievances of the Declaration that everybody skips over.
Right, because it's not as flowery, it's not as artistic, it's not as poetic.
Well, later, Hamilton's report on manufacturers.
Hamilton gets into a big league.
But it was something that was understood, that's my point, it was generally understood at the time.
And of course, people have these interesting arguments about how we're going to set it up, we're going to have a king, no king, monarchy, central bank, no central bank, huge questions.
Why is it that the central bank becomes the big fight?
The issues are always the same thing.
Central bank, an executive that is going to be a quasi-monarchy.
They wouldn't want to make him a king, but maybe an emperor, dictator for life.
You know what Jefferson called it, actually, what we ended up with, the presidency?
They called it a Polish king.
Because at the time, the Polish Commonwealth had a parliament with a king that had some powers, but not a lot.
So they actually referred to the presidency as a Polish king.
The big fight also was, as you just mentioned, the Central Bank.
Yes.
Look, the Central Bank today, what the Treasury and the Federal Reserve is doing, they are willingly and knowingly sacrificing everybody under 35 years old right now to keep the apparatus going.
Not just the illegitimate Biden regime, but to keep the established order.
continuing, they're prepared to destroy a generation and really treat them like Russian serfs.
And you're seeing this massive infusion and printing of fiat currency, which is now out of control.
Their debts will never pay back.
There'll have to be a major restructuring.
And they're defaulting, and they say, well, Steve, they're not defaulting.
Your purchasing power of your fiat currency, that Federal Reserve note, that dollar, is dropped 20% under Biden.
That's why even with inflation, core inflation up, I don't know, 9 or 10%, you've lost 20% of purchasing power because of interest rates increases, supply chain, all of it.
And that is really the default.
They're defaulting on the American men and women.
And you can look at personal debt, you can look at credit card debt, because people are putting everything on credit now, they're forced to.
We have higher personal credit card debt right now, higher personal debt than any time in American history.
It's not just the face amount.
You have 1.2 trillion of credit card debt at a 30% APR.
Oh yeah.
I mean, this is usury in most states where they add the fees in there, so people can't do that.
Some countries it's completely illegal.
Totally illegal.
What you have now is you have a system set up with the decline in purchasing power and the infusion of legal immigration and illegal immigration.
The wage, the wage drop, right?
The real wage drop.
You have people that are living pay, and I mean people with middle class jobs, living paycheck to paycheck.
They gap that with a credit card.
Well, and their paycheck loan to paycheck loan.
Paycheck loan to paycheck loan.
And you get to the end of the year, if you're somebody around, you know, between 30 and 40, you get to the end of the year, you get your annual bonus, that all goes to pay down your credit card debt, and you start the game over again, right?
You never accumulate any capital.
It's driven almost every bad thing in our society.
This is one of the reasons you have such late family formation.
Right.
Because women are making a decision.
Hey, I don't know if this guy can handle the load here of marriage and a couple of kids, right?
And a home.
So that's why you're seeing later and later family formation.
That's what you see in smaller families.
This all rolls through the demographic problem.
But you've never seen a leadership of generations ever sacrifice.
America's always been the opposite.
It's always been, take the pain now for the future.
Because look, When we had the depression, when we had the depression, and I spoke to Tucker about this, is we were a slightly different country.
Slightly different.
And people came together.
People came together because we had social cohesion.
Look, the house I grew up in, it was built in 1900, it was the same house my father grew up in right outside of Philly, and grow home.
Workers home and you know what they did they split it all up into apartments Y'all you moved in together family moved in together You rented some places the room my brother that was my brother's bedroom growing up used to be a kitchen It was a second kitchen and that's what you did you helped out each other neighbor helped out neighbor and you did what you had to do Of course you had the parish, you had the local... The parish, the synagogue, the Knights of Columbus, yes.
You had the civic groups.
The ancient order of Hibernians, the AOH.
What Burke called the little divisions that undergird civic society.
You had that cohesion.
Let's be blunt, if you look at the draftees in 1942, right after Pro Harlem.
Look at some of those pictures.
Well, look at the picture, everybody's ripped, right?
But I think testosterone count in the draftees was 2,200.
Dude, it's through the roof.
The testosterone count in an average draftee in World War II, I think was 2,200.
Average testosterone a day to recruit in the military, I think 625?
Yeah.
I mean, it's orders of magnitude.
That's all diet, it's the way you live, it's everything.
Because you're looking, they're eating eggs, steak.
Yes.
And it's all real back then.
And they're all working.
And they're all working.
You've got to put your shoulder to something.
You've got to fake food, just go to GMOs, any of it.
Totally different country.
The issue though then, Steve, that I look at, is I say, You're telling me with 10,000 illegal alien invaders every day across the border that are welcomed here and processed in, that we're not the same country?
So what happens when a country like that The invaders, the migrants, the people they brought in, the people they've shipped in, the refugees, everything that we've seen.
Now the economy falls out.
Now, let's say 1929 happens again.
You're not going to see those little divisions again.
You're going to see big divisions.
Look, I gave a speech in Pinehurst about a month ago, and I said, here's what this speech is going to be about.
We are going to look downrange to The afternoon of 20 January 2025.
Yes.
And what will be the first two tasks in front of us?
One is the financial crisis caused by this massive government overspending driven by the elites in the country.
The other is the at least identifiable 10 to 12 million illegal alien invaders that come in just on Biden's watch.
To me, there has to be a hard line taken.
All invaders have to leave.
They have to go home.
All of them.
Not just the criminals, not just the mentally ill, that President Trump says, you know, the insane asylums, that, yes, that, but that's a small portion.
They all have to go home.
If we don't do that, we don't have a country.
And in addition, You have to start to have massive cuts in discretionary spending.
And I mean defense, but also the social programs.
And so if you combine... Before you can talk about entitlements... But this is why they come.
You cannot have open borders plus a welfare state.
You cannot.
And so I want people to think...
What America is going to be like when Donald Trump has to enforce the policies that must be enforced to save this republic.
And that's why he says it's day one.
It's day one.
It has to be massive cuts to discretionary spending.
When people tell you, oh, we can't get to it because it's all, you know, mandated payments, it's entitlements, they're lying to you.
They don't want to make the cuts.
American people are prepared to have a discussion about entitlements.
But what they have to have first, they have to see that you're serious about cutting discretionary spending, and they have to see that you're, quite frankly, prepared to raise massive taxes on the billionaire class.
The progressive billionaires that have forced the country into all these problems, the progressive billionaires that have given to all these NGOs, the progressive billionaires that back the Southern Poverty Law Center and ACLU and all of it.
They should have massive tax increases because I guarantee you one thing.
The day you start going after their money, they will back off of forcing these social programs on you.
The only way to back them off and to break them is to take their money.
And the only way to start taking their money is to start taking it through taxes.
This is what Glenn Greenwald says he gets in trouble about when he brings up you and he brings up Tucker and he says, you know, I think those guys are kind of socialist, but only towards one demographic.
In the 1950s, this country was pretty cohesive, right?
The marginal tax rate for our highest earners was 95%.
There wasn't a huge gap between my father, who was a foreman at the phone company at the time and the CEO of AT&T.
There was a gap, but it was, I don't know, 10 to 1 or 20 to 1.
Now it's 5 million to 1.
It's not comprehensible.
And they're not paying it anyway.
We've turned from entrepreneurial capitalism, and we've turned from really free market capitalism to what's called finance capitalism.
The returns to capital far outweigh what returns to labor.
I am not a socialist.
In fact, I'm an entrepreneur.
I believe in entrepreneurial capitalism.
We do not have entrepreneurial capitalism in this country.
We have state capitalism.
We have basically a ersatz system that the Chinese Communist Party has perfected.
Well, you know, at this conference here at AmericaFest, there's actually been an undercurrent and a through line from speaker to speaker to speaker who have talked about this.
And I haven't seen any headlines on it yet, but I noticed Tucker said it because Tucker said libertarian economics was a scam from the 1%.
And he said that Occupy kind of had it right.
Then we had who?
We had Patrick Bet-David, who's not a conservative, he's not a political guy, but he came up and he talked about zombie corporations.
And he said, do you know what a zombie corporation is?
This is a corporation that only exists by borrowing.
He said all of these companies, they all get their money from the Fed.
It's all paper, and it's all taken from you.
It's taken from the borrowing power of the U.S.
dollar, and these companies exist, and they continue to exist.
And so I hear it from Tucker, then I hear it from Patrick, but David, you've admittedly mentioned it once or twice, a couple of times in the past.
But there's something moving in the movement where people are starting to realize that the money flow, and we see the colleges, we see the colleges now, so where the money flow is coming this way, where if you went to this crowd, A hundred percent.
And if you went, by the way, and if you went to like a CPAC crowd a decade ago and said taxes, boom, boom, boom.
No, no, no.
They would freak out.
But now, but now.
They would freak out.
Rush Limbaugh gave his speech in 2009.
It's a great speech.
I love his speech.
But he took the side of the banks.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I remember.
He took the side of the banks.
And I think the movement hadn't gotten there yet.
Rush was a great guy, but he was very into, called neoliberal, neoliberal neocon.
Look, I've got an audience of Russian serfs.
I think I can sell them on tax increases for the oligarchs that are destroying their life.
Let me be blunt.
The oligarchs in this nation, the lords of easy money on Wall Street, in the Federal Reserve, in the Treasury Department, in the administrative and deep state, in Silicon Valley.
They only care about themselves, okay?
They're going to bury a generation.
And this is why Trump's poll numbers are shifting.
This is why people 25—we're not there with the under-25-year-olds yet, because the real world hasn't bitch-slapped them yet, okay?
But when you get to 25 to 35, and you understand you're not going to own a house, you're never going to be where your parents are in any stage of their life, that you're always falling behind, and the harder you work, the more you fall behind, That generation will listen and say, well, hang on for a second.
How do we get in this situation?
The system is rigged against the good householder.
If you're a good householder in this system, you're a sucker, right?
That's not what America was based upon.
That's what it is today.
If you're a good householder, you're a sucker.
All your taxes go to pay for this mess, which they just have an increase in the concentration of wealth among the top 1% or top 5%.
You pay your taxes, they take your pension fund, and what do they do?
They ship the Larry Finks of the world, ship the high value added jobs to China, and oh, by the way, to support the American empire, the security guarantee given to Europe, given to the Gulf Emirates, right, the Saudis and UAE, given to the South China Sea and up in Japan and Korea, It's your sons and daughters in the Hindu Kush on patrol.
It's your sons and daughters in the Persian Gulf and those combatants on patrol.
It's your sons and daughters at the Third Army in Germany.
It's your sons and daughters at the DMZ in Korea.
The deplorables, the entire system rests on their shoulders.
And now their children understand that.
This system cannot go on.
And this is why they hate Trump.
And this is why they're trying to put Trump in jail for 700 years.
It's not that Trump's perfect.
In fact, President Trump would probably disagree with at least two-thirds of my belief in economics.
And to give you a fact, In June of 2017, we had intense fights in the Oval Office because I was advocating at the time a tax increase for the top bracket, right?
Right.
I said, first of all, they don't pay taxes anyway.
So if you increase it, it's just optics and it'll get the heat off of people trying to take their assets, so let's do it.
That was leaked.
The next day in the Wall Street Journal, Basin did an editorial, Steve Bannon must be taken out and shot.
No, I remember this whole thing.
You've got your buddy Gary Cohn.
Globalist Gary.
By the way, at IBM now.
Three progressive Democrats.
Steve Mnuchin, Jared Kushner, and Gary Cohn, who sat there and it was like, you know, I had burned Holy Writ.
I said, no, the top 1% doesn't get a tax cut.
The middle class and the working class get a tax cut.
We're going to have a tax increase.
And I said, politically, it takes care of Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren.
They're done.
You'll be a hero to the people.
And the firestorm that came in, and President Trump actually considered it.
That's what they were worried about.
He actually thought about it until they came and said, hey, the economy is going to crash.
All this capital is going to leave.
Now, one last thing.
Their argument is going to be, if you increase taxes on the billionaires, they're going to take their money out of the country.
No, they're not.
They have no... We can put tight... Hey, do they take their money out of China?
Now, I'm not saying we go to the CCP-type system.
However, since the elite have adopted the rest of the system, right, of social credit score... They want all the China money.
The whole China money.
The facial recognition, the transhumanism.
Except the capital can go anywhere.
The libertarian model is a scam, and here's why.
It was funded by the Kochs and the billionaires, open borders, a free flow of capital, that you can't build a nation around that.
A nation has to have its sovereignty, has to have its borders, and not just that, it has to have its capital.
If you just reinvested American capital into America, jobs, this would be paradise!
Look, look, here's what I say, here's what I say.
There's a reason that Detroit looks the way that it does, and Shanghai looks the way that it does.
That was all American capital.
This idea, the greatest lie of the CCP, and they have a lot, but the greatest lie is that they are the ones who built China from nothing into what it is now.
They did not do that.
That was Western capital, Western financial institutions.
And Western technology.
Western technology.
It all starts Tiananmen Square.
We did the China Files last year.
We walked through all of it.
The system of globalism was birthed out of the seeds of the blood of the cobblestones of Tiananmen Square, the 4,000 students.
And that same fight is going to be 2024.
It's very simple.
Forget Republican and Democrat.
If you're thinking of those terms, you're thinking of old politics.
This is populist nationalism versus elite globalists and if you see republicans that are not in our camp They're, by and large, elite globalists.
The Mitt Romneys of the world, the people in the Senate, right?
The Kevin McCarthy.
Nikki Haley!
Neocon Nikki.
Neocon Nikki.
Neocon, neoliberal Nikki.
Neocon Barbie.
No, no, listen, Nikki Haley's biggest donors right now are some of the most radical anti-Trump Democrats.
What did you think?
Reid Hoffman!
What did you think when Jamie Dimon came out at the New York Times Summit?
She'd be a great president.
And said she'd be a great president, and we've all got a backer.
One of the fights we're going to have, a big fight will take place in the spring, will be they're going to try to force Nikki on the ticket.
They say Trump needs a woman, Nikki on the ticket, she balances things, and she can bring together that 15% of never-Trumpers in the Republican Party.
We're going to have to have that fight.
If Nikki Haley is in this administration in any capacity, It will fail.
She's a viper.
She's a viper.
And once she gets in there, she'll try to run it as Prime Minister.
She'll try to be Dick Cheney.
Her to Trump will be just like Dick Cheney to Bush.
That's what she'll try to do.
But Steve, I have to ask you, because Richard Barris issued a warning about this.
A very specific warning, and he went even further.
Barris' warning was this.
He said, you put her in as Vice President, and they will find someone to Lee Harvey Oswald Trump Get him out of there and make her the president in his stead.
And he said if she becomes VP, that guarantees they're going to take a shot at him.
I gotta tell you, we have to put on the table, because Robert Kagan, one of the senior most thinkers in the neocon, you know, vertical.
There's a lot of columnists at the Washington Post.
Right.
Robert Kagan Who's married to?
Victoria Nuland.
As Darren Beattie calls her, the color revolution dominatrix.
Right, so these are the architects of the Ukraine war, the architects of the Maidan coup, who ran right sector, shooting the students in Maidan Square, Ukraine, Ukrainian students in a false flag, to say, Yanukovych did that, now we gotta come in, now we gotta throw him out, right?
They've killed people before.
These people are bloody.
These people are brutal.
They're vicious.
I don't... And ambitious.
I do not trust them, and I don't put anything past them for a second.
So when you have Robert Kagan, who runs the Institute for the Study of War, which is basically neocon wet dreams, that Who's still lying to you, by the way, saying Ukraine's just about to win.
Two more weeks.
Just two more weeks.
Just about to win.
A couple more billion.
A winner mini-offensive.
Winner mini-offensive.
A couple more billion.
We're almost to Crimea.
A couple more billion.
It'll be alright.
When he tells you that Trump's a dictator and Trump's a Julius Caesar, we know what he's saying.
This is very serious and everybody should read this piece.
They basically took Caesar and Caesarism.
This is what they accuse Abraham Lincoln of.
This is what the elements of the Southern Confederacy accused him of being a warlord, which you could argue.
Hey, he had to do what he had to do.
But they argue this case of Caesarism is one of the reasons that John Wilkes Booth.
Remember, the Booths were the most famous acting family in the country at the time.
It'd be like Kirk Douglas and his son, Michael Douglas, or something at that level.
And he had played Brutus many times.
They were the greatest Shakespearean actors, not in England.
And they were very drenched.
in Roman history, in Shakespeare's interpretation of Roman history.
And so Lincoln had been portrayed in the South as Caesarism, a dictator, in that dictators, you make the intellectual argument and the moral argument that just like they did in the Roman Senate with actually some pretty good guys.
In fact, Caesar's best friends.
Brutus was like a son to him.
The other guys ran at Many of the conspirators were quite close to Caesar.
But once you make the intellectual case that we're about to lose the Republic because the strongest among us, right, all of a sudden sees the ability to take over a rotting institution and turn it into a dictatorship, you make the moral judgment.
The picture in the Washington Post had a statue, I think, of Caesar with Trump coming up through it, okay?
And it made an intellectual and moral argument for his assassination.
If anybody had done that, if they had done the Human Events Daily, or if Raheem Kassam had done that over a national poll, so Charlie Kirk had talked about that with Obama or with Biden, trust me, the Secret Service would be kicking down your door the next day, and they want to know who you talked to, who saw a draft, let me see your emails, let me see your phone records, and they'd haul you in, and you would be prosecuted.
This should be prosecuted right now.
They were doing this before.
The same week that Steve Scalise got shot, they were doing this, Shakespeare in the Park, Julius Caesar, my friend Laura and I went and did a little fun.
They did a version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, which actually should be labeled Brutus because it's really the story of Brutus.
It's the story of the conspirators and they had Melania They had at the end scene, it was Trump in a blue suit and a tie with a guy with blonde hair and Melania.
And he was a bloody assassination on the stage.
It was, and I got up to that scene.
I didn't see how it ends, Pest, because I was asked to leave.
By the NYPD.
By the NYPD.
Jack left.
- By the circumstances, by the NYPD.
But I will tell you-- - By the way, Jack left, Laura Loomer threw down harder. - No, Laura Loomer, I said, hey Laura, let's get out of here.
They're going to arrest us.
And then she goes, how many viewers do we have?
Let's keep going.
She sees it as an opportunity for traffic.
Right, right, right.
We love Laura.
But Steve, let me tell you something.
It was the most bloody, brutal, depiction.
It was like a Quentin Tarantino, like Reservoir Dogs-esque scene.
And all of these people, and I remember, they're clinking their bracelets together.
Standing ovations.
Clinking their bracelets and laughing.
Laughing.
And laughing as they stabbed him.
Mocking.
And I said, you know what?
This is how you prepare.
This is how you prepare a populist.
Not 100%.
Not 100%.
Predictive programming. 50%.
Forty-five percent enough, plus all the organs of power to normalize political violence, whereby in they'll say, well, we don't support it, but it had to be done.
Why are they doing this now?
You ask the question, why are they doing this?
And they brought it back around.
And now they've taken it up a level, because now... And by the way, Steve Scalise got shot that week.
The next night, and this is what everybody misses, the next night is when Laura and I did that.
After Steve Scalise got shot.
Unbelievable.
Here's the reason they're doing it.
And here's the reason I'm going to ramp this up.
Because of AmFest.
They're smart people.
They look out here and they see a cadre of 15,000 that are coming together.
They see the quality of the speakers.
They hear the message coming time and time again.
They see the audience out here and the audiences show on social media how smart they are and ahead of the curve.
Like you and Charlie and I talked, you've got to work so hard to be ahead of the audience because their knowledge base is so strong today.
They understand that this movement is ascendant.
They understand this movement's got real power and force in back of it.
They think right now If we don't do something, and that is decapitate leadership, that's one of the reasons they're coming after O'Keefe, and Rudy, and myself, and everybody, Charlie Kirk with the stories, and another hit piece on Charlie.
They're trying to decapitate the leadership, figuring that the sheep will just go off.
They're putting our meme guys.
They're putting the meme guys in jail.
By the way, the meme guy gets six months in federal prison for putting up a funny meme about Hillary Clinton.
Which, by the way, I'll throw it out there, the point of that meme was election integrity.
Focusing on election integrity, saying the Democrats are going to crack election integrity and make it so that you can vote by mail, vote by phone, vote from everything.
That was the point of the meme.
They put him in jail because he got their number.
President Trump has to be very careful.
The security has to be much better, I think.
Much better.
Tighter.
Mar-a-Lago.
Everywhere.
Everybody should be assuming all the time.
That there are forces out there, dark forces out there, that have made a decision.
That decision is that Donald J. Trump, regardless of what votes say, will never return to the White House in control.
Because they understand, once he gets back in, it's game over.
Right?
They're taking on the deep state, his knowledge base today, the knowledge base of people around him.
You even see it on the TV shows.
They say what worries them when they're talking about all these, you know, Heritage working this, Russ Vogt working this, people throwing names up.
They're saying, oh my god, these guys actually are incompetent.
At first they said we had malfeasance and incompetence.
In the first term, now they just say it's malfeasance because the team knows what it's doing and knows where the bodies are buried.
So that's why the game, and that's why my number one projection for 2024 is nobody knows nothing, right?
We have no earthy idea how this is going to turn out except you have an irresistible force meeting, you know, a massive resistance.
And so this is going to collide and remember, There's no negotiating, right?
What we demand on the return to the original American Republic is non-negotiable.
What they've done and what they've done is non-negotiable to them.
So that's where we are.
One side's going to win and one side's going to lose.
And for the first time, The first time, you can smell the fear.
And then, here's the biggest tell.
Think about it.
In the NDAA, as much as we were fighting on FISA, and FISA, you know, the FISA thing, and all the cuts, and all the woke, and weaponized put back in, what did they slip in at the very last second?
They slipped in, with no debate in the House, in fact, I don't think the House ever saw it, the Senate slipped in a law that says a president, for the first time in our history, Wow.
that a president doesn't have the ability to unwind a treaty by himself on NATO.
That shows you how nervous they are.
That shows you how certain in their own mind Trump's coming back.
And what they have to do is make sure you can't touch precious Ukraine.
Here's why Ukraine, when we pick the scab on Ukraine, what Victoria Nuland and this crowd have done in Ukraine in the last 10 or 15 years, the money laundering, the child trafficking, the bio labs.
Child organ trafficking too.
Child organ trafficking.
What has happened in Ukraine?
They understand it puts them out of business, and we find that forever.
That's why they use Ukraine to impeach Trump, to try to get it onto him, right?
They understand that Ukraine is, uh, what is it?
On the Nixon film, Project Mongoose.
Yes.
Right?
Which was the assassination of, uh, the invasion of Cuba and the assassination of Castro.
That's the modern Mongoose.
There's so many bodies buried underneath there, and they came there by... It's been their playground, and this has been, the goal has always been, because Kagan, Newland, and all of those neocon neolibs.
You know what they really are?
They're the Trotskyites.
They're the Trotskyites.
And what happened to Trotsky?
Trotsky gets out.
Got an X in the head.
He gets ice picked down in Mexico.
But the other Trotskyites, they've been obsessed with Russia ever since.
Obsessed.
Oh, this is very important.
Because they are obsessed with taking back control of Russia.
And they almost got it in the 90s.
When we talk about neocons.
The neocons are all former Trotskyite, mainly Jewish intellectuals, right, who are hardcore Trotskyites, who actually, when the Soviet Union went the non-Trotskyite way, became neocons, right, and became huge defense intellectuals that really did, Kissinger and others, that did a big shaping of American foreign policy.
Particularly after the Vietnam War and this confrontation with the Soviet Union.
This is what everybody gets.
They say, when you were fighting the Soviet Union, I thought you were anti-communist.
Eh, not exactly.
We're anti-that communist.
Listen, all these people today, they're all over Russia, all over, you know, the Democrats want these big spending bills in Ukraine.
All of these people fought Reagan.
They didn't have any interest in taking down the Soviet Union.
They didn't have any interest.
Nobody, no Democrat had Reagan's back.
When Reagan said, hey, how about this?
We win, they lose, right?
And we bring all the forces together without actually having to have kinetic warfare.
None of these, none of the people are the parents of the people you see up there pushing a crane.
Not one of them had Reagan's back whatsoever.
And so that's why it's totally phony.
It's something far deeper, far deeper than they believe.
And this is a complete distortion of history.
The only allies, and I mean true allies, that the American people have had in the 20th century, the bloodiest century in mankind's history, that will be looked at as a dark age in generations to come.
250 million at least people brutally murdered, starved to death, the worst types of, you know, Holocaust, there was the Holodomor in Ukraine.
The worst creations using technology to destroy mankind.
We had two allies, two true allies.
The Russian people and the Chinese people.
Not their leadership.
Wow.
Joseph Stalin.
And we over-armed Stalin for the last two years.
The communists that were in the FDR administration, the communists in the State Department.
McCarthy called them all out.
Joe McCarthy's a hero.
He called them all out.
The ones that gave them China.
Yes.
We gave China to Mao Zedong as a group of bandits.
Mao could have been wiped out.
He was a bandit in the mountains.
One bombing run by the Flying Tigers and there's no CCP.
And we could have taken down Joseph Stalin.
Why did we not take Berlin?
Why did we not go in and save Eastern Europe after all that fighting and all that money?
And the Brits were our allies, but the Brits were trying to save the empire.
They were up front what they were in it for.
Churchill was in it for.
The allies that took the... Look, in a war of 125 million casualties, The Russian people and the Chinese people took 80 million casualties.
80 million dead.
All their cities destroyed to stop fascism, right?
This is why this thing in Ukraine is a joke.
Two-thirds of the Ukrainian people that are fighting today on the side of the West were fighting for the Wehrmacht, right?
They're Nazis.
Their parents were Nazis.
Their grandparents were Nazis.
Which, oh by the way, with the exception of the grandfather, 100%.
Because he's Russian.
who fought in the Red Army. - 100%. - He fought in the Red Army. - 'Cause he's Russian. - And now they come around and they'll turn around and say, you fought against these guys, who are you with now?
Who's your grandson with now?
The American people are going to demand an accounting.
When you see what your 150 billion already dollars have gone to finance, when you've seen what these oligarchs have done, when you see the child trafficking, when you see the child organ trafficking, when you see the biolabs, but Victoria Nuland couldn't even answer a question.
And it was Victoria Nuland again!
Victoria Nuland couldn't answer a question.
Marco Rubio, he gave her a layup!
He gave her a layup!
Couldn't answer it.
Senator, I think we need to go into closed session with that, right?
When you see what's happening in Ukraine with your money, and remember, Biden's been over grabbing with two hands the entire time.
The Clintons have been over there grabbing with two hands.
The beak of the vulture.
The vulture's beak in Ukraine.
Steve, a couple of minutes left here.
By the way, the only guy to stand up to it was Donald Trump, who asked the guy, hey look, you got a corruption problem there?
Yeah, you're like the third most corrupt nation on earth.
I need you to kind of work through this corruption thing before we send you any more money.
And they impeached him.
On a truly perfect phone call.
For asking him about it, right.
And that's why I've said if there's anyone they take out before Trump, it'll be Zelensky.
Because they've already played the hero card, they're out of that.
The last card they have left on him is the martyr card.
Zelensky lectured you and me particularly.
Zelensky went to Davos and he had this big stage thing and he's sitting there talking like a big shot.
He goes, people in American West should read the memoirs of World War II and understand more about World War II.
Before they start talking about the situation, I go, dude, I have forgotten more about World War II than you will ever know.
But I told him a book I recommended, David Halberstrom's The Best and the Brightest, particularly the chapter on President Diem of Vietnam.
When the CIA is finished with you, you're a done deal.
They call that the CIA early.
When the CIA tells you, hey, get the family, we got the plane on the tarmac, you just got to get in the truck, get the whole family in the truck, the panel truck, And we're going to take you to the plane.
Ask Barry Steele about that.
Poor Barry Steele.
They call that the CIA early retirement plan, Steve.
Early retirement plan.
Zelensky, when they tell you they got the plane on the tarmac, make sure you take the We've never had the answers on the assassination of Diem four weeks before Kennedy.
- Yeah, call an Uber.
- Call an Uber.
- Remember our president in Afghanistan?
We don't talk about what happened in Afghanistan.
When the Taliban are racing towards the palace and he's putting all the gold bars in the suitcases.
- We've never had the answers on the assassination of DM four weeks before Kennedy.
We never had the answers on Kennedy, on Bobby Kennedy, on Martin Luther King.
You're telling me some guy from a prison... A guy from a prison laundry just went out and shot him.
And Malcolm X. Malcolm X. Malcolm X. All of them.
You have no earthy idea what the administrative state has done.
You know they're cold-blooded.
In their own interest, they will protect their own interests.
And that's why we must be the Praetorian Guard to protect President Trump.
Just like in The Godfather.
You remember in that scene he says, "My son Michael, if he comes back and he sees, you know, to stumble in the street and get hit by a car or fall off a building, you know, I will know something's going on and that's with Trump.
We have to have his back and do a throwdown.
We dare you to do anything to him because you'll pay a price that is unbelievable." If they come for him, if they come to arrest him in Mar-a-Lago, if they come to throw down, what happens if Trump says he don't go?
He doesn't go?
He said, I'm not going.
He's not going to go.
First of all, he's not going to get found guilty.
And if they think they're going to get some jury, Jack Smith is psycho.
He's going to get some jury, some rigged jury, with this disastrous federal judge, and find him guilty on something, and they're hurrying up, hurrying up, they got to do it for election day.
If they think Let me ask you, this is my biggest worry.
that they got another thing coming because it's not going to happen.
Donald J. Trump is going to be reelected in a landslide, the 47th president of the United States, and they're going to have to live with it.
Let me ask you, this is my biggest worry.
We talked about this before because we've just done a series here.
We went through all the communist revolutions.
Last year we did China, but this year we did Russia, we did Spain, we went through France, which was a proto, sort of a proto-Marxist revolution.
We did the 60s revolution here in the United States.
It always starts with what?
The disaffected peasantry rising up, the refusal of the authorities to conduct, these days you would say wealth reform, in those days you would say land reform, because land, same idea.
They always use this.
What happens if they go to that, turn it on again?
And remember, the banks did this after Occupy.
They said, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's not the banks.
It's the white people.
It's the systemic racism.
They go to racism.
What happens?
What do we do when that gets turned on again in 24?
The difference now, you've got war room.
We can break down the economics of capital markets and what the central bank's doing to inform the people.
The reason they don't want anybody to understand how the system works, the reason you don't learn it in college, you don't learn it, no TV show talks about it, CNBC doesn't talk about it, they understand.
When working and middle class people understand how the system works, they're gonna say, this is the scurriest thing I've ever heard of, all the weight's on my shoulder and I get none of the vig, I get none of the upside.
So that's the difference, and that's why you have an empowered This can only succeed with an empowered, emboldened, Urgent populist movement.
Informed.
And that's what they've never had.
Last thing is that when Nixon went to China with Mao Zedong, Chou En-lai was his right-hand man, Henry Kissinger there.
There's a little lull in the conversation as they're talking, and Kissinger goes to Chou En-lai, he says, you know, what are your thoughts on the, just like Jack thing, talking about revolutions, what are your thoughts on the French Revolution?
Chou En-lai looks at him and thinks, he goes, too early to tell.
Truer words were never spoken.
The French Revolution is the model for all of it, right?
The Chinese...
The CCP has only been in power about 100 years, but the Chinese have a history and a mindset that goes thousands of years.
2049 is their target.
So it goes thousands of years.
They're planning in terms of epochs.
That's where Epoch Time gets their name from, by the way.
They plan in terms of epochs.
We plan in these four-year little spurts.
They're running the table.
They've got BRICS.
They've got our leaders.
They've got our oligarchs.
Steve, what do we got?
We've got the American people.
We have nothing else, trust me.
We've got a model of a republic that works, and we have the cussedness, grit, and determination of a people that have done more and pulled off more miracles than any nation on earth.
And now, this country's never been more imperiled, because the way the CCP looks at it, by 2049, their calculation, they'll have, if we don't close the border and don't send the invaders home, they figure they're going to have 50 to 100 million Chinese nationals here, CCP, not Lao Beijing, not the heroes trying to fight them, their own.
And then you're going to have to deal with it from the inside.
So, we've got a fight in front of our hands.
And remember, there's no going back.
We're either going to win this, or we're not going to win it.
And the only way we can't win it is if we stop fighting.
If we refuse to stop, we will win.
If we stop, if we become afraid, what they want, if they break us, the country's gone.
If they don't break us, They had everything available.
They had the banks.
They had Hollywood.
They had the media.
They had Congress.
They had the White House.
They had the military.
They had everything.
In January 21, they had everything.
And look where we are today.
We've turned this around with literally nothing.
Right?
A couple of shows, people listening, becoming force multipliers, and now we got them on their back heel, that they're scared to death, and they say, we gotta take out the cult leader.
Right?
And they're scared to death of what they're facing right now.
They're legislatively already making changes, so Trump's gonna be handcuffed from the day he comes in there.
That shows you they're scared, that shows you we're ascendant, that shows you we're winning.
When I look around at AmericaFest, when I go to War Room events, when we do Human Events events, You know, and I see the people, and then you hear how Hillary, and we were at Cipriani's the other night, you know, and she calls them deplorables, and she says, these are the workers, you know, we don't need these people.
You remember the Patriot?
You remember when they go down to that inn that's out in the swamp?
And he's there, and it's Heath Ledger's, the son, with Gibson.
And he turns to his dad, he said, Father, Are we sure these are the type of men we need?
You remember what he says?
He says, son, these are exactly the type of men we need.
And he organizes them all into the Swamp Militia, the Swamp Fox.
They come back and they keep, and he becomes the ghost.
And he becomes the ghost.
Look, when I look at the aristocracy and they keep looking back, they say, how does this guy keep winning?
How does this guy keep winning?
It's as simply as that.
He's got truth on his side.
He's got grit on his side.
And I believe he had God on his side.
Amen.
Providential.
Providential.
Steve, you always ask people where to go to follow you, but I feel like people know at this point.
Let me ask you this final question.
Get her.
Are you ever going to get on X?
No, I'm banned for X. War Room's banned in perpetuity from X because of our stance on the Chinese Communist Party.
What if we could get you unbanned?
Impossible, no interest.
No interest?
None.
Wow!
I'll let my subalterns be on X. He's a trans, all you fanboys, he's a transhumanist, but hey, time will tell.
Elon Musk is not the top five issues.
Hey, Happy New Year.
Tanya and the boys are the best.
This guy's the best father.
What a family.
The wife's amazing, right?
Thanks.
And also shows you Belarus, an ally.
So, happy New Year, brother.
Glad the third year in a row we're doing this.
Now a tradition.
Now a tradition.
