Speaker 1 (00:00):
Night o Truth social Trump ramped up the pressure on Ukraine,
writing that Zelenski can end the war with Russia almost
immediately if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
Trump also suggested that Ukraine should not retake the Russian
occupied territory of Crimea, nor should it join NATO.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Zelenski responded to.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
That in a social media post of his own, writing
in part quote, peaces must be lasting, not like it
was years ago when Ukraine was forced to give up
Crimea and part of our east part of Donbas and
Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack,
or when Ukraine was given so called security guarantees.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
In nineteen ninety four, but they didn't work now. Several
European and NATO leaders are expected to attend today's meeting Washington.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
As we said, they include the President of the European.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Commission, the Chancellor of Germany, the prime ministers of the
United Kingdom and of Italy, the presidents of France and
of Finland, and the NATO.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Secretary Gene.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I've not seen in all the years that I have
covered American politics, I have not seen a delegation like
this from Europe, not even at the outbreak of.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The Iraq War, come to Washington, come.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
To the White House, to make Europe's case for peace
and security.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
One way to think about what's happening today and in
the succeeding days is this war has been about whether
Ukraine can become a Western country. That's been the aspiration
of the Ukrainian people, and it was intolerable to Putin
and to Russia, and Russia really fought a war to
prevent Ukraine from becoming European. If the United States today
(01:40):
by offering security guarantees to whatever part of Ukraine emerges.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
From the war intact so.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That that country can be as South Korea became, as
West Germany became a part of the West, with our
guarantees of security behind them, then that's an outcome that's
going to make for a more prosperous to Ukraine in
the long run. I can't imagine that the rest of
Ukraine won't move as East Germany moved with West West Germany.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
That's down the road.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
But the key thing is whether the United States really
will stand behind Ukraine's sovereignty against Putin. If that happens today,
then I think there's some reason for optimism. If it doesn't,
it's a cave into Putin's power.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Well, first of all, the Russians are already facing very
severe consequences that there's not a single sanction that's been lifted,
and not one, I mean, they're facing all the same
sanctions that have been in place today. All the American
support continues for Ukraine, and ultimately, look, if we're not
going to be able to reach an agreement here at
any point, then there are going.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
To be consequences.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Not only are the consequences of the war continuing, but
the consequences of all those sanctions continuing and potentially new
sanctions on top of it as well. But what we're
trying to do right now is end the war. And
in order to end the war, you've got to give
every opportunity that exists. You have to be open any
opportunity that exists to bring it about. And here's the
thing to remind everybody. And when the President says, this
(03:03):
is not our war, but let's be frank, this is
not our war. The United States is not in a war.
Ukraine is in a war, and we've been supporting Ukraine.
We happen to be in the role of the only
country in the world. We're the only leader in the
world that can actually bring Putin to a table to
even discuss these things.
Speaker 9 (03:18):
Now.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
The President has traveled all the way to Alaska all
the way back, has dedicated months and months of work him,
our entire team on this matter, because we want to
see an end of the war. But if tomorrow the
war continues, life in America will not be fundamentally altered.
So I think that we have to understand is that
this has been a priority for this president because he
wants to promote peace.
Speaker 10 (03:38):
He wants to promote the end of a war.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
And I think we should be happy that we have
a president that's trying to promote peace and bring a
war to an end.
Speaker 11 (03:45):
How much do you think Ukraine will be willing to
give up if, in fact they get a rock solid
security guarantee where the European countries and Donald Trump say,
we're going to be in Ukraine, the US is going
to be supporting us, We're all going to be rebuilding
your country, and we're going to tell Vladimir Putin in
(04:09):
no uncertain terms that an attack against Ukraine is attack
against the United States and Great Britain. And France and
Germany and Italy and the EU. At that point when.
Speaker 12 (04:23):
He gets that rock solid assurance, If he gets that
rock solid assurance at that point, do you think the
land deal can be made?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So, Joe, he has to be able to sell this
to the Ukrainian people, and they have suffered in this
war so much.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Just think about bombardment every night, every.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Night, spending much of that night awake, which has been
the case for much of this year for Ukraine's Ukrainians
in Kiev and elsewhere. It's to sell it to this
war weary people and say we got something up this land,
and it's a dagger in our heart for what we
got was security, our ability to be a free European country.
(05:07):
So I think it depends in how this is phrased.
If the appearance at the end of today is of
the Western countries, the United States and Europe marching together
with Ukraine, even as it makes this terrible concession of land,
that may be something that Lensky can take home and
the Ukrainians would say it was worth the sacrifices we made.
Speaker 13 (05:30):
So President Trump called this an extremely productive meeting and
said many points were agreed to.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You were in the room.
Speaker 13 (05:36):
Can you give us two specific points that were agreed to.
We agreed, Jake. First of all, thank you for having
me and good morning. We agreed to.
Speaker 14 (05:48):
Robust security guarantees that I would describe as game changing.
We didn't think that we were anywhere close to agreeing
to Article five protection from the states in legislative enshrinement
within the Russian Federation not to go after any other
territory when the peace deal is codified, legislative enshrinement in
(06:15):
the Russian Federation not to go after any other European
countries and violate their sovereignty. So we agreed to, and
there was plenty more.
Speaker 15 (06:25):
American security guarantees are the holy grail in all this.
And I say this having served as ambassador in Poland,
which literally was in the crosshairs of Putin because it
was delivering the weapons to the Ukrainians, the Ukrainians that
were using to defend themselves against Russia, and the security guarantee,
the Article Vibe commitment here in Poland worked Without that
(06:50):
Article Vibe guarantee, I can only imagine what Poland and
the Baltic States and Romania would have faced. So Article five,
the fact that with Off and Rubio, a negotiator Wikoff
and secretary of Rubio are talking about it is truly
the crux.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Of a deal that the Ukrainians could buy.
Speaker 15 (07:10):
Into and a security guarantee will have to keep the
peace on both sides. This has been a terribly bloody
war with casualties massive on both sides, and years over
the next few years there will be feelings of retribution
and passion for retribution on both sides.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The Russia Ukraine conflict has.
Speaker 15 (07:31):
His historical dimensions that if President Trump canbroker a ceasefire
very soon would be worthy of celebration because it is
so historically rooted and so recently bloody, and to put
something in place that stops that would be worthy of accolades.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
This is the primal scream of a dining regime. Pray
for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.
You've not got a free shot. All these networks lying
about the people, the people have had a belly full
of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I
know you tried to do everything in the world to
stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's
(08:15):
going to happen and Where do people like that go
to share the big.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
Line mega media.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
War Room, use your host, Stephen k Man.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
It's Monday, eighteen August, year of Earler, twenty twenty five.
We are set and getting ready for a historic day
at the White House as Zelenski arrives for his I
think his first minie since the blow up six months
or so, plus the chaperones. He's got chaperones. But right
there you saw it in all its glory, and of
(09:07):
course you heard it on War Room first on Friday morning,
even before the planes landed in Alaska. This will all
come down to two things, American security guarantees and American
commitment massive amount of money for redevelopment. I am lost
and maybe Whitcoff and Rubio will explain it today. I'm
(09:31):
just lost. How a game us? How the United States
offering an Article five commitment for a security guarantee to
Ukraine is a win for the United States. I mean,
this war started because of the globalists at the EU,
(09:51):
the European Union and NATO forcing the hand of the
Russians over years and years and years about well, Ukraine's
joining the EU and joining NATO, and with these two
what they're talking about, I mean, the reality of it,
let's take away the rhetoric and the continent back and forth.
(10:13):
Is joining the EU because the economic integration of American
capital under the Larry Finx of the world, who, by
the way, took over the World Economic Forum. As we
reported over the weekend, Larry Fink's now in charge of
the World Economic Forum. The Party of DeVos officially Class
Schwab is out and won't be charged with any crimes.
(10:35):
And then the Article five and they dare David Ignatius
dares to make an analogy to Germany in South Korea.
I think we have twenty five thousand combat troops in
South Korea, and I think we have I don't know,
thirty thirty five thousand still in Germany after that was
after the most destructive war in mankind's history, of which
(10:58):
we don't want to have it happen and again, so
we stopped it. I mean, there's no analogy at all
with Ukraine. The very first, David Ignatius as Ben Harnwell,
who will join me momentarily from Rome. I've also got
Dave Brett here this morning. We'll get Brian Glenn and
Jack Pasovic from the White House later. You know, he said,
(11:20):
this is all about the point of this and by
the way, my team, my crack team on the cold
open of the guys in Denver, just extraordinary. That explained
it all to You didn't need to watch any of
the shows. She didn't need to do anything. Just watch
that seven or eight minutes right there. You got it all, baby,
all the important stuff curated. He said, the whole purpose
of this war was whether Ukraine becomes a Western country
(11:43):
or not. Well, that's fine, and that's the Ukrainians fight,
in the Europeans fight, in Germany's fight, in Italy's fight,
and all these big talkers. Maloney's got the gall to
get on a plane to come over here where she
hasn't even made a serious attempt at getting to even
two percent on their defense spending. And all those countries
(12:03):
are still allowing you know, mass migration, mass invasion, I
might add, from from a Muslim countries and are collapsing,
and we have a British officer over the weekend give
an interview where he says what I've been saying for
years that if there's not if the political class and
this includes Niger Ferrage and the team over reform, don't
(12:27):
confront the mass immigration from invasion of radical Islamists and
this merger of Marxism, Neo Marxism, the hard left with
radical Islamist there's going to be a civil war in England.
His words, basically copying mind I've been saying for years
and years and years. Those are the issues. If the europe,
(12:49):
if it's if the war's about it becoming a Western
nation and a European nation, then fine. Let let if
that's what a million Ukrainians gave up their lives for
in their in their the structure of the country and
have a wounded the casualties, that's fine. The that's for
the guys in Brussels to figure out. They should do
(13:11):
the re development and they should provide the Article five.
They haven't even come close to defending themselves. America pulled
in to the Bloodlands on an Article five. That's a
tripwire for war. And I don't know if we got
the segment in there getting I don't know if I
(13:32):
heard that about the the vengeance factor of the Ukrainians.
As I said the other day, I said on Saturday,
this is worse than Northern Ireland. This is worse than
the West Bank. There you had, yes, you had horrible
things happen to individuals, and tough things happen, and people
killed and tore into over many decades, actually thousands of
(13:53):
a year. Let's say here you've had outright brutality on
both sides. The Russians they play smash model, that's how
their army rolls. There's a ton of Ukrainians, as human
nature says, they should that want vengeance. And now you're
going to put the United States in the middle of this.
(14:14):
It's very simple. Tell the chaperones, it's your baby. Tell Zelensky, hey,
this is your issue. Deal with it. You guys initiated this.
You push the Russians, and the Russians punched back, and hey,
they're not guiltless. The KGB runs are bad ownbrace, very
(14:34):
bad ownbrace inexorably, we can't get sucked in here. They
even talk about a commitment like in Germany and South Korea,
which were still there eighty years later, short break back
in the warm in a moment.

combat on the Redistrict team to make sure that we
(16:55):
continue the Trump revolution in the Trump movement. Because of
demographic shifts in the United States and within States, we're
gonna have ten thirty report from Texas and you see feckless,
hapless leaders that are kind of the same type of
effeckless hapless leaders. England's had which don't know how to
(17:17):
act and act decisily, but don't talk. A lot a
lot of talk coming out of Texas. A lot of talk,
not a lot of action. The only action is at
the tip of the bannet as you nudge them along,
which we're going to have to do because now we
won nine seats in Texas, we're on five. We won nine.
We ain't gonna settle for seven. We're not going to
settle for five to one. All nine maximalist position today
(17:37):
in the great state of Texas. You want to play
smash mouth with Newsom and the governor California, Let's do it,
Ben Harnwell, Now is in the land of the blind,
the one eyed man is king. We need to look
at the situation in Ukraine through your beady eyes of
exactly what's going on. Was I off base at all
(17:58):
on exactly why the shap Roans are coming over today
because they see they see the chance for a big
win to get them off the hook of what they
caused and what they're not prepared to go back to
their people and say, hey, we got to step up
here because the people are terf amount of office.
Speaker 17 (18:14):
Sir, Good morning, Steve now, of course you weren't off base.
You're absolutely on point. And that's really I think what
I'm going to be the theme of what I'm going
to be saying today. You started off in your intro
paying tribute to the warroom, possing the power of this audience,
and I'm going to do exactly the same right now
on something specific, because it was really the power of
(18:35):
the warroom audience that stopped the decrepit Biden regime from
being able to get away with this security guarantees hoax.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
A year ago.
Speaker 17 (18:46):
We put we were the only show on air pushing
this point day after day after day after the globalists
tried their very subtle pivot from not talking about NATO
membership and they started to talk about security guarantees. There's
no press release, there's no grand statement to say they're
going to be changing their international.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Position on this. They pushed it out subtly and slightly.
Speaker 17 (19:10):
Fortunately, however, everybody involved in this show has more or
less beady snega eyes, including everyone at the International Bureau,
and we followed this rigorously, and I think we moved
the needle on this and they gave up on that
pitch until now it's resurrected like Frankenstein or something from
(19:32):
a B list horror movie. Steve, forgive me for saying this,
but security guarantees, it's the same shit sandwich a year
ago as it is today. The warroom audience, American tax
paying public deserves a Chateaubriand's stake. That is why they
elected Donald J.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Trump. That's what they want.
Speaker 17 (19:54):
And they've gone into the diner and then the plastic
vinyl tablecloth has been taken away.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
They've got people.
Speaker 17 (20:00):
Admiring that the pressed, ironed starch tablecloth.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You don't go up to the bar.
Speaker 17 (20:06):
The waiter comes all dressed up and removes the silver
dome dish.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
And you're looking.
Speaker 17 (20:10):
Then you're thinking, wait a minute, that's not my Chateau
breonze Steak I ordered.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You just pick it up, and then yep, yep, it's.
Speaker 17 (20:18):
The same shit sandwich they tried to serve up a
year ago. Their point here, Steve, about these security guarantees, which,
by the way, are not the same as Article five assurances.
Article five of NATO commits you to absolutely nothing. All
you are obliged to do is take whatever steps you
(20:39):
deem necessary. If a NATO ally is invaded and you
can say we are monitoring the situation and that fulfills
your NATO five obligations. Security guarantees and this is a
point only the war room has been making right. Security
guarantees are far more weighing on the US administration and
(21:02):
it's tax paying public because.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
They bind you into doing something. They are guarantees.
Speaker 17 (21:07):
A better analogy of a security guarantee is what the
UK provided for Poland in the Second World War. We
said to the Germans, if you invade Poland, Germany in
Britain would be at a state of war. Germany invaded Poland.
Therefore on the next day we declared war against That
is a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Now binds you into.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Doing someone hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Both World War One and World War Two. World War
One was Scotland. The Germans came across the low countries.
They had security guarantees. I think that in Belgium that
triggered it. Then they had security guarantees of all these kings,
you know, all in you know, between Austria and Hungary
Empire and the Russians. You have these security guarantees. These
(21:48):
are trip wires. This is where things go from regional
conflicts to world wars. That's what happened in World War
Two in Poland. The British woke up and they said
almost you know, hey, we've got this guarantee in Poland.
The Germans went in, Hitler went in, and this thing
went from a European war, from a local expansion of
(22:08):
Germany to a European war. And then it went from
a European war to a global war when the Japanese
attacked us. And why did that? Why did Germany then
announce it, announce war against United States? Declared war on us.
We didn't declare war on them. Guests, wait for it.
A security guarantee, a deal with the between the Germans
and the Japanese, and then all of a sudden you
(22:30):
had World War two security guarantees. And they're making the analogy.
Now this is like Germany are like South Korea. Well,
I think South Korea we still got twenty five thousand
combat troops. In Germany. I think we still have thirty
or thirty five thousand, right, I mean, these are massive
commitments of American troops. This is what they're They're going
for our money on the redevelopment they're also going for
(22:53):
much more long term commitment on arms and refinancing that
Zelensky mess of that government. But now they actually won
our active engagement in securing this, and they're not stepping up.
They're saying yeah, you know, as le as you're saying, yeah,
we get the Americans and then some other guys, the
chaperones will come in and kicking what they will, because
you can't trust them. The European elite are untrustworthy. They
(23:14):
weren't worth us in World War Two. They were not
We have to understand history here. The Russian peasants, the
Russian people, the Russian serfs. Okay, they're the ones that
broke the Wehrmacht right with I don't know, twenty five
or thirty million casualties. Okay, they broke them the old
fashioned way. Those are our allies, the elites, except for
(23:34):
the British Ubrits, and let's be blunt, that was about
saving the empire, everything from what happened you know, Asia
all the way to North Africa. So no, this is
once you go down this path, and hopefully President Trump's
presenting this as I varire for you guys, this you
still can't get to a deal because Zelenski wants more.
(23:55):
They always want more. I think it's an insult to
the President of the United States and the American people
that the chaperones, immediately after President Trump's done everything he
possibly can do, has got the weight of the world
on his shoulders. He just wants to stop the killing.
That the chaperones feel they're entitled to get on a
plane and kind of come over here to have this,
(24:17):
to have this, to have, you know, to chaperone Zelensky
and to force a bigger and broader deal. Am I
often that or the chaperones are here for a reason,
and the reason is not to help America or help
the America First Movement, Sir.
Speaker 17 (24:31):
One thousand percent, Steve, Look, I have never seen in
my lifetime. I don't think it's ever happened before that
a guest of the White House, invited over, ahead of state,
invited over unilaterally, decides for himself he is going to
bring along all of his mates into a bilateral with potus.
Never seen that before. It is a massive slap in
(24:51):
the face. One thousand percent. Look, I never heading to
a break. Let me just make this point about the
unreliability of your so called European allies.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That is a thousand percent on point.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
One example, who do you have going over today in
the in the gaggle of hats and second raterers phony
maloney herself. If she really thought that Russia represented a
threat to the interests of western continental Europe, that she
wouldn't be spending sixty equivalent of sixteen billion dollars on
(25:24):
building a bridge between Sicily and the Italian peninsula. She'd
be putting that money into tanks, right. But she's not
doing why because she knows it's a hoax. It is
a hoax. And by the way, what I would gently
encourage the President Trump to focus on is precisely at
this point about the Europeans and their so called five
(25:45):
percent spending commitment, this sixteen billion bridge between Sicily and
the Italian peninsula.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They're going to mark that off.
Speaker 17 (25:53):
They're saying this is now an element of national security
for Italy. They're going to count this off against their
they're five percent. That shows you, in a brief illustration,
see the nature of the people that you are dealing
with that are coming over to Shapa Owns and Lensky.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah, hang on one second. The chaperons. We're gonna get
on with it. Dave Brad is with us. We're also
gonna go to Texas. I want to thank Jim Rickards.
In the middle of the night on Saturday, he was
in Australia, so it was like two in the morning.
I want to thank Jim. He's coming back this week.
We're going to join us. What a sharp brain that is.
So glad to him as a contributor. Go check it
out right now, Rickards warroom dot com. We have a
(26:33):
landing page for you to get access to Strategic Intelligence.
You can find out what it's about. The short pitch
is that it's for c switch chairman and CEOs throughout
the world. Read this. It's inside Baseball. Strategic Intelligence is
his newsletter. You get access to it, and he throws
in a free book money GPT, a butt fiant currency
(26:56):
and artificial intelligence short break back in the world.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
If you use your host, Stephen k Back.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Okay, we're gonna go Texas at the moment, but I
want to set the stage here for the warm and
posse because it's all about you. You are one of
the most powerful political instruments in the history of this country.
Always remember that. It's the reason we do this show,
and we spend so much time to make sure you
got the right information, because in the American people are
the right information. In their righteous idignation, they will do
(27:30):
the right thing, and then the country will do the
right thing. It's pretty you know, it's pattern recognition of
American history. Ben, you told me is a month or
so ago in the middle all kinds of different things happening.
You said, Hey, I want you to understand because Ben,
you're very selective about putting stuff up on Ghetor and
you've got a huge following, but you're very particular about
(27:52):
doing it. And you said, hey, I'm telling you, man,
the thing that gets people's blood blowing more than anything
is its Ukraine situation. And this is a time you
know in the EBB and floor of what's happening. Ukraine
wasn't on the top of mine at the time. You're
seeing it again, and this is why the American people
and the Patriot movement understands exactly what's at stake. Your thoughts, Sir.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Steve, I remember that conversation.
Speaker 17 (28:16):
And the reason I'm able to make those analyzes is
because since I've been on Gheta for nearly four years now.
I have read every single comment that's ever been posted
to anything I've posted on there, so I have a
good feeling of what the sentiment is.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I remember that conversation with you.
Speaker 17 (28:31):
It was I think at the time of when President
Trump bombed Iran, and I said, look, there's a difference
here between in MAGA with the America First Movement with
regards to Israel. I admit, I mean, like, I have
the same view to Israel as I have to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But I don't need to go into that and this point.
Speaker 17 (28:53):
I recognize that there's a half of MAGA splits down
the mid on supporting Israel. With the regards to Ukraine,
it is one hundred percent against supporting Zelenski and his regime.
That is why I'm somewhat mystified that President Trump is
investing himself and his credibility and his authority to this degree.
(29:15):
What I would like to see, Steve, and I'll hand
back overty on this point is something that you first
asked three years ago of the Krepit President Magou.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
When is he going to come to.
Speaker 17 (29:29):
Congress and outline what America's interests are in Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
That argument was never made.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
So before Steve Whitkoff or anybody else in the administration
starts calling the security guarantees, what was that expression used?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
A concession that they won in negotiation?
Speaker 17 (29:49):
Can someone please explain to the American public what the
American interests are that the security guarantees are supposed to
defend and protect.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Yeah, yeah, okay, hangar for a second. We're going to
get to all that. You're right, what's the we say?
That's a big win, a game changing win. That's got
to be explained. Please explain that. We want to be supportive.
Remember we're supportive of this. But here's the situation is
that these Europeans can't be trusted, and the mainstream media
is pushing you to do this. All the corporate interests,
(30:22):
all the war and the arms manufacturers, big tech, they
all want this. You know why their kids are not
going to be when you when you hear security guarantee,
you know what you do. You look at the table
of your sons and daughters, You look at those grandchildren.
That's a security guarantee. What's the security guarantee in Korea?
(30:43):
Combat troops? What's security guarantee in Germany? Combat troops. They
want your blood and they want your treasure yours. Are
you at the table they want yours somewhere else? Of
the posse's made a huge difference, and it's the top priority.
Is this entire situation of getting the House of Repersentatives
properly structured to reflect the demographic reality of the United
(31:05):
States mid decade after an atrocious census was done by
the Commerce Department, which they admit, and that's massive demographic
changes after the pandemic, and quite frankly, people looking for
more freedom in red states, also within states. Brian Harrison
joins US now from Texas. Here's what's got me more
upset than anything. Gavin Newsom play smash Mouth. This brother
(31:29):
is putting forward a plan to quick march. I think
in less than ninety days. E take going to the
biggest day. We got the seventh largest economy of world,
a fifty two seat, fifty two seats people in the
House of Represents in Congress fifty two seats, which I
think we have nine right now, and the state breaks
(31:51):
down probably fifty five to forty five right on votes
fifty five to forty five, or let's say something with
a four handle in front of it. They're going to
take it down to four. That is smash mouth, and
they've got to get They got so many hurdles they
got to go. But they're rolling and they're up in
your face about what they're going to do and how
they're going to do it. In Texas, it's all performance
(32:12):
art by the leadership. It was not for the grassroots,
the grassroots leaders, the MAGA movement, Brian Harrison, and one
or two others this thing. First of all, they would
have never come forward the five. Brian, please tell me
today we're getting the Big nine. So the Texas nine,
is it not? We're getting nine seats down there, sir?
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Well, we uh look, we sure as hell got need
to get more than five. I mean, you hit the
nail on the head. The Democrats all across the country.
PRIs Skerne Illinois, Gavin Newsom in California, Democrats coast to
coast play hardball. Texas Republicans aren't even playing beanbag And
I mean, what's the point of election integrity if Republicans
(32:54):
once they get elected, just turn around to give the Democrats.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
All their power.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
And that's what's been happening in the Great State of
Texas for year after year after year, voters go to
the ballot pox do their job, elect Republicans, and then
these voters do the bidding of the liberal Democrats and
act like they're helpless to stop it. The reality is
they're complicit with the Democrats. So to catch folks up
(33:18):
on what's going on, I'm pulled over, Sar, I can't
be with you on video, pulled over on the side
of thirty five driving to the Capitol for the Special
Session number two because for folks keeping track at home,
the Texas Republican leadership allowed the Democrats, allowed the Democrats,
assisted the Democrats to completely derail one hundred percent of
(33:38):
the first special session. We passed nothing, no redisearching, no
property taxes, nothing okay, and no punishment for the Democrats.
So we're coming back now. First day of Special Session
number two was last Friday. Democrats did not show up.
The expectation is the Democrats will come back today. But
here's the reality. Democrats are coming back on their terms.
(34:00):
Democrats are coming back on their timeline. After the Democrats
have had their successes, spending two or three weeks galvanizing
the country in opposition to our much needed registriting effort.
They've raised money, they've raised awareness, They've got blue states
now California going to redistrict their maps. And what have
we done in Texas. I expect we're going to have
(34:21):
some bad performance theater of some fake punishments will get
meeted out on these Democrats, punishments that, by the way,
will have been negotiated with the Democrats that won't really
hurt them. Here's what we need to do. Play horrid ball.
Gavin Newsom said, fire with fire. I mean, move past
the irony that he's probably the biggest arsonist in the
country when it comes to redisserting. Hit the Democrats where
(34:42):
it hurts, don't redraw the map, and just get five
Republican seats. We need at least seven, one for every
week they were gone, so at least seven. But the
governor was even copying Steve the Posse your rhetoric, my
rhetoric for the last week, saying, oh, well, we may
be able to get.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Nine or ten.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Well, then we need to do that anything. And here's
the bad We're off to a bad start here because
the Texas House and the Texas Senate on Friday, they
one of Special Session number two. They refiled their maps,
but they only still had just five Republican seats. So,
as far as I'm concerned, if we're passing a map
(35:18):
and it's only got five seats on it, that's the
equivalent of Raving raising the white flag of surrender and
saying that Gavin Newsom, Okay, you and the Democrats are
going to beat us again, and we're just final with it.
But that's not what the Texas that's not what the
voters of Texas want. They deserve better than this.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
So the more impossi they're ready to call. Where you
got the number up there on the screen, and Grace
and Mo will put it out in all the chats.
We need nine. We need to go maximalist here. Lookay,
let's just put all the look for the uninitiated, the
people that don't pay attention, the low information voters. Is great,
(35:56):
your neighbors, they're fantastic, they're your friends, your neighbors. But
in politics, it takes a vanguard of fighters. And they
got them too, they got them two. So now it's
between the two vanguards. Okay, So let's just be blunt.
We want nine, we want we want maximalist positions in
every state in Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Florida. If Abbot
(36:19):
says he can get nine or ten, we won nine
or ten and let the Democrats deal with it. Because
Newsom is coming for forty eight out of fifty two.
I want you to absorb. You have not one Republican
in all of New England, not one. I think you
have a twenty five seed delegation, not one. I think
you aggregate up New England. It's something high thirties, low forties.
(36:40):
It ain't zero. It's zero. Now in California, which is
the seventh biggest or fifth biggest economy in the world,
they're about to take total representation away from everybody. That's
how they roll. And I have no problem with that.
That's how they roll. But we got to roll the
same way. We got to get nine, and we got
to light a fire under Abbot. He is so week
andffeckless and hapless that if you don't put that, you
(37:03):
don't nudge him along with the tip of the bannet
in the back, he won't do anything, will go on
Fox and bluster and then nothing, Just like on the border,
all this crap on the boarder, there was happening. Abbot's
out there. I'll send the National Guard, but although there's
to be a concierge service, Harrison, how do we do this, brother?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (37:20):
No, so amen and listen, Steve. Here's how Just to
put a fine point on this, the difference between the
Democrats and Democrat states and their leadership versus Republicans. In
the state of Texas, Massachusetts, a Democrat state with a
Democrat governor, they don't have even one single congressional map
that goes to Republicans, and they're talking about doing even
(37:42):
more redisserting when they've already jerrymnered every Republican seat out
of the state. But in Texas, let me make this
super simple for everybody. If you hadn't been following along
for the past couple of weeks, ignore the theater. Let's
cut through the bs and slice through the spin. I'm
gonna make this as simple as I can can. If
the governor, Lieutenant governor, and Speaker of the Texas government
(38:07):
want more than five Republican seats, if they want seven
eight nine, we will have seven eight nine seats.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
If we do not get.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
Seven more Republican seats, eight more Republican seats or nine
more Republican seats. I'll tell you why. It's for one reason.
The governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the state of
Texas did not want it to happen. Those three have
enough power under the Constitution of rules and our status cowards.
They can get it done.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
The cowards. The cowards. One thing he's saying, by the way,
I understand this audience can't stand the sight of Gavin Newsom.
I got that. But one thing you can't say about
that brother, is he's not a coward. He's up in
our grill and he's going to He's got a very
tough march to make this happen. They got some structural hurdles.
He's all in and he's telling Trump, I'm doing this
to impeach you. He's not shy about why he's doing it.
(38:56):
He's saying, I'm doing it to impeach you. All the
mask are off everywhere. If this doesn't happen, if we
don't get nine at Texas is because of gutless cowards
at the head of the Texas government, and the grassroots
has got a belly full of this. Now you did
this on you did this on the invasion. It took
Trump win it again for the third time to make
(39:19):
things right down there. You had every opportunity to defend
your own state border. You refuse to do it time
and time again, and now you're doing the same thing.
This audience is not going to accept performance art. Brian,
I know you've got to bounce to get back on
the road. Where do folks get you in that Twitter
feed that they all hate, the most hated.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Twitter feed in the capitol. Do your civic service. Piss
off a rhino today. Go to my ex speed at
Brian E. Harrison and follow me there at Brian E. Harrison.
At Brian E. Harrison, blow up the phone lines in
the Texas Capitol. Tell them you're sick and tired of
Democrats and Democrat states fighting harder for the future of
our state and country than elected Republicans. It's time the
(40:00):
like the Republicans, fight like the future is on the line.
You know why, because it.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Is, Brian Harrison. You're a hero and a patriot. Thank you, sir,
appreciate it. We don't want to perform. If you just
watch Fox he watch them, says man. Those guys in
Texas that those that senior leadership. They're tough. They haven't
taken a parking spot. They're still going to pay. These
guys no findes nothing. It's got to stop. Be as
(40:26):
hard and tough as those Democrats, or feel the wrath
of the people. Patriot Mobile Glenn's story The Glenn of
the Patriot Mobile guys on their pact this extraordinary, amazing,
best phone service in the country. Do the switch today
called nine to seven two Patriot talk to an American
citizen probably in East Texas somewhere that their call centers
(40:50):
to make the switch today. Do it. Patriot Mobile short Break.
Speaker 10 (41:00):
Here's your host, Stephen K.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Bas Okay, our own day, Brett Dave. Thanks for sticking around.
You see what's happening. And let's get that during this
let's also get that number up for the Governor's office,
Lieutenant Governor's office. We want Texas nine today. When you
call up and say, hey, the governor said he could
get nine seats down there, we want all nine full maximalists,
(41:25):
they said, well, these guys are maximalists. You damn right,
we're maximists. The country's on the line right here. Don't
take it for me. Listen to them Harrison just said it.
In Massachusetts, I think it's ten to nothing or twelve.
There's not one republic in a state that I think
has forty two or forty three percent Republican voters. And
when you aggregate these things up, now not one seat.
(41:46):
And she does a press conference says it's not Jerry
mannered enough. We're gonna make sure they could never have
a Republican all in New England twenty five to nothing.
Suck on that. And look what they're going to do
in a with fifty two seats. We've got nine right now. Nothing.
They're gonna take you down to fort in New York
(42:06):
the same way they're gonna do it there. Pritzker, it's
seventeen seats, we only get the only three Republicans. It's
time to go full maximalist. The hour is late, let's rule.
Let's keep that up. We can split. But I want
to see Dave Brett's lovely fassage. Dave Brett, thank you
for hanging out as an economist. You're both a philosopher
(42:29):
and you're a hard numbers economists. Let's put your hard
numbers economist on on this war. The situation dump and
President Trump just remember it's not your war. Every second
he let these guys, the chaperones coming over is to
make it the biggest global TV event of the year,
which it may be because you've never had these kind
of people show up. It's to try to stick you
(42:51):
with the tar baby of Ukraine. Dave Brett help me
out here, brother.
Speaker 16 (42:56):
Yeah, well, a great show. Harnwell on fire, love all
of it. The economics is pretty simple. Shigiping in China
is laughing his head off at us. Every missile we
shoot off is fifteen million minimum out of our taxpayer's wallets,
and a waste in terms of our major geopolitical threat,
(43:17):
which is China. And so we got to focus back
on that. Number Two, even Putin knows, and we don't
trust Putin either, like Reagan said, but even Putin knows,
you know, he doesn't trust Gee, he trusts trumping us
way more than them. And so wrote reprochema is in
the cards, I hope, which brings us up to point three.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
Larry Fink, new.
Speaker 16 (43:41):
Head of the w World Economic Forum, over Klaus Schwab,
who's recommending we clean up things after he uncleaned it.
Speaker 8 (43:49):
So there's two things you.
Speaker 16 (43:50):
Got to focus on the economics here, who paid all
the bills for this war? I'm exaggerating slightly, but the
answer is the United States of America, and you you
the base and the taxpayers in the United States. Second,
who paid an even greater price for this war? All
the war dead, all those boys bleeding over on the fields.
It's a million in Ukraine and a million dead and
(44:12):
injured in Russia both right, and the latest stats seem
to show losses in Russia are just a trickle, right,
and the single digits are a bit higher desk per day.
They're still taking it to a Ukraine, right, Ukraine's recruiting
sixty year olds. No one wants to calculate, right, the
price of those dead boys into these calculations. The Europeans,
(44:34):
our chaperones are disgusting morally for not mentioning the loss
of life. And then at the end of the day,
the World Economic Forum and all of our betters are
going to go in to make a ton of money
on the minerals and agriculture and et cetera in Ukraine.
It is morally repugnant. Harnwell started alluding to this. So
I'm going to get to why I think the war
(44:56):
room is still scratching their heads on this thing.
Speaker 8 (44:59):
Trump.
Speaker 16 (45:00):
President Trump is the commander in chief, he's the CEO,
he's the chief magistrate.
Speaker 8 (45:05):
And so why is this not done? Right?
Speaker 16 (45:08):
Everybody wants to why is it? I want it to
be done. I make people's heads pop off. But I'm
gonna give you three reasons. Right, I'm gonna go back
to David Hume, who made the great moral distinction. What
is and what ought to be? What ought to be
is the Kingdom of God on earth. What is the
case is grotesque. And I'm gonna give you three reasons
(45:29):
why our chaperones will not let Trump pull us off.
Number one reason is that the euro Europeans and our
globalists and our betters all know they caused this. Right,
we had a coup in twenty fourteen. They knocked out
a democratically elected president of Ukraine. Putin all the while,
way back then said after we already lied to them
(45:52):
about seventeen countries getting NATO status, this was the lion
of the sand. And so now Putin's saying nothing different. No,
you're not going to do this. It's not going to
be a NATO country. So number one, our European betters
know they caused this. Number two, they also know, and
I got a few charts on this that'll solidify this point.
(46:13):
But they're scared, and so are US senators and the
rhinos who were cheerleading and pumping up Zelenski before the
last meeting when he not only slapped Trump in the face,
he punched Trump in the face. And so the base
is going, what in the world is.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
Going on here?
Speaker 16 (46:28):
Trump's the toughest guy we know of, He's the best fighter,
the best negotiator.
Speaker 8 (46:33):
Why aren't we out of this mess?
Speaker 16 (46:35):
And then the third, of course, is just the money, right,
it's just morally grotesque.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
Who's going to win.
Speaker 16 (46:41):
It's just like the eight financial crisis, which let the
tea party and the grassroots on fire.
Speaker 8 (46:48):
And you've covered every bit of that.
Speaker 16 (46:49):
But let me just give you a couple quick charts
just to show you what's at steak.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Here.
Speaker 16 (46:54):
Number one, the first chart just goes back to twenty
twenty one. Here's the firepower. In the blue is Ukraine,
in the reds Russia. This is back when Politico and
all of our lying mainstream media all political views are
my own. But it's it's just a fact, look at
that chart. There's Ukraine on the Leptoire's Russia on the right,
and political saying they're winning.
Speaker 8 (47:13):
Ukraine's winning. Now they've lost.
Speaker 16 (47:16):
There's not a credible strategic analyst I know of that.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
I'll say they're winning. Second chart is even better.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
Uh hold hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa? Hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on, hang on, slow down, slow down, Professor,
the kids in the back row, that would be me,
I was a back row guy. You've you've hangover. Second.
I want to make sure we're going to hold through
the breaking and pick this up. And we got Posso
and Brian Glenner at the White House Historic day to day.
(47:44):
Obviously the chaperones are coming. I don't think there's ever
been a group, even in World War Two. I don't
think we have had a group of of the power.
You know, you got Germany, you got France, you got Italy,
you got the United Kingdom, you got all the ones
that they think count over there coming. So historic President Trump,
he's got Zelenski. The weight of history is on him.
(48:06):
Uh So we're gonna explain it all to you exactly
where we are. Remember when Dave Brat's on of those charts.
All of them said, remember how long you heard, Oh,
Ukraine's winning, the Russia's going to collapse, Russian economy's going
to collapse, is going to be a revolution. He's losing,
he can't recruiting more people. It was all lies, all lies, lies.
(48:29):
We didn't buy this from the very beginning, from the
night before, the evening before this fiasco started. What back
in February March of twenty two, we told you exactly
what was going to happen. Ben Harnwell, Dave Bratt, Jack Pasobac,
Stephen K. Bannon and more of the War Word said
this exact. Mersheimer's right. These guys are going to fight
down to the last Ukrainian. Now they're getting close to
(48:51):
the last Ukrainians, taking sixty year old folks. They want
American combat troops. Short break
Night o Truth social Trump ramped up the pressure on Ukraine,
writing that Zelenski can end the war with Russia almost
immediately if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
Trump also suggested that Ukraine should not retake the Russian
occupied territory of Crimea, nor should it join NATO.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Zelenski responded to.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
That in a social media post of his own, writing
in part quote, peaces must be lasting, not like it
was years ago when Ukraine was forced to give up
Crimea and part of our east part of Donbas and
Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack,
or when Ukraine was given so called security guarantees.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
In nineteen ninety four, but they didn't work now. Several
European and NATO leaders are expected to attend today's meeting Washington.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
As we said, they include the President of the European.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Commission, the Chancellor of Germany, the prime ministers of the
United Kingdom and of Italy, the presidents of France and
of Finland, and the NATO.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Secretary Gene.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I've not seen in all the years that I have
covered American politics, I have not seen a delegation like
this from Europe, not even at the outbreak of.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The Iraq War, come to Washington, come.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
To the White House, to make Europe's case for peace
and security.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
One way to think about what's happening today and in
the succeeding days is this war has been about whether
Ukraine can become a Western country. That's been the aspiration
of the Ukrainian people, and it was intolerable to Putin
and to Russia, and Russia really fought a war to
prevent Ukraine from becoming European. If the United States today
(01:40):
by offering security guarantees to whatever part of Ukraine emerges.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
From the war intact so.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That that country can be as South Korea became, as
West Germany became a part of the West, with our
guarantees of security behind them, then that's an outcome that's
going to make for a more prosperous to Ukraine in
the long run. I can't imagine that the rest of
Ukraine won't move as East Germany moved with West West Germany.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
That's down the road.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
But the key thing is whether the United States really
will stand behind Ukraine's sovereignty against Putin. If that happens today,
then I think there's some reason for optimism. If it doesn't,
it's a cave into Putin's power.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Well, first of all, the Russians are already facing very
severe consequences that there's not a single sanction that's been lifted,
and not one, I mean, they're facing all the same
sanctions that have been in place today. All the American
support continues for Ukraine, and ultimately, look, if we're not
going to be able to reach an agreement here at
any point, then there are going.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
To be consequences.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Not only are the consequences of the war continuing, but
the consequences of all those sanctions continuing and potentially new
sanctions on top of it as well. But what we're
trying to do right now is end the war. And
in order to end the war, you've got to give
every opportunity that exists. You have to be open any
opportunity that exists to bring it about. And here's the
thing to remind everybody. And when the President says, this
(03:03):
is not our war, but let's be frank, this is
not our war. The United States is not in a war.
Ukraine is in a war, and we've been supporting Ukraine.
We happen to be in the role of the only
country in the world. We're the only leader in the
world that can actually bring Putin to a table to
even discuss these things.
Speaker 9 (03:18):
Now.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
The President has traveled all the way to Alaska all
the way back, has dedicated months and months of work him,
our entire team on this matter, because we want to
see an end of the war. But if tomorrow the
war continues, life in America will not be fundamentally altered.
So I think that we have to understand is that
this has been a priority for this president because he
wants to promote peace.
Speaker 10 (03:38):
He wants to promote the end of a war.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
And I think we should be happy that we have
a president that's trying to promote peace and bring a
war to an end.
Speaker 11 (03:45):
How much do you think Ukraine will be willing to
give up if, in fact they get a rock solid
security guarantee where the European countries and Donald Trump say,
we're going to be in Ukraine, the US is going
to be supporting us, We're all going to be rebuilding
your country, and we're going to tell Vladimir Putin in
(04:09):
no uncertain terms that an attack against Ukraine is attack
against the United States and Great Britain. And France and
Germany and Italy and the EU. At that point when.
Speaker 12 (04:23):
He gets that rock solid assurance, If he gets that
rock solid assurance at that point, do you think the
land deal can be made?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So, Joe, he has to be able to sell this
to the Ukrainian people, and they have suffered in this
war so much.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Just think about bombardment every night, every.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Night, spending much of that night awake, which has been
the case for much of this year for Ukraine's Ukrainians
in Kiev and elsewhere. It's to sell it to this
war weary people and say we got something up this land,
and it's a dagger in our heart for what we
got was security, our ability to be a free European country.
(05:07):
So I think it depends in how this is phrased.
If the appearance at the end of today is of
the Western countries, the United States and Europe marching together
with Ukraine, even as it makes this terrible concession of land,
that may be something that Lensky can take home and
the Ukrainians would say it was worth the sacrifices we made.
Speaker 13 (05:30):
So President Trump called this an extremely productive meeting and
said many points were agreed to.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
You were in the room.
Speaker 13 (05:36):
Can you give us two specific points that were agreed to.
We agreed, Jake. First of all, thank you for having
me and good morning. We agreed to.
Speaker 14 (05:48):
Robust security guarantees that I would describe as game changing.
We didn't think that we were anywhere close to agreeing
to Article five protection from the states in legislative enshrinement
within the Russian Federation not to go after any other
territory when the peace deal is codified, legislative enshrinement in
(06:15):
the Russian Federation not to go after any other European
countries and violate their sovereignty. So we agreed to, and
there was plenty more.
Speaker 15 (06:25):
American security guarantees are the holy grail in all this.
And I say this having served as ambassador in Poland,
which literally was in the crosshairs of Putin because it
was delivering the weapons to the Ukrainians, the Ukrainians that
were using to defend themselves against Russia, and the security guarantee,
the Article Vibe commitment here in Poland worked Without that
(06:50):
Article Vibe guarantee, I can only imagine what Poland and
the Baltic States and Romania would have faced. So Article five,
the fact that with Off and Rubio, a negotiator Wikoff
and secretary of Rubio are talking about it is truly
the crux.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Of a deal that the Ukrainians could buy.
Speaker 15 (07:10):
Into and a security guarantee will have to keep the
peace on both sides. This has been a terribly bloody
war with casualties massive on both sides, and years over
the next few years there will be feelings of retribution
and passion for retribution on both sides.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The Russia Ukraine conflict has.
Speaker 15 (07:31):
His historical dimensions that if President Trump canbroker a ceasefire
very soon would be worthy of celebration because it is
so historically rooted and so recently bloody, and to put
something in place that stops that would be worthy of accolades.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
This is the primal scream of a dining regime. Pray
for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.
You've not got a free shot. All these networks lying
about the people, the people have had a belly full
of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I
know you tried to do everything in the world to
stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's
(08:15):
going to happen and Where do people like that go
to share the big.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
Line mega media.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country
will be saved.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
War Room, use your host, Stephen k Man.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
It's Monday, eighteen August, year of Earler, twenty twenty five.
We are set and getting ready for a historic day
at the White House as Zelenski arrives for his I
think his first minie since the blow up six months
or so, plus the chaperones. He's got chaperones. But right
there you saw it in all its glory, and of
(09:07):
course you heard it on War Room first on Friday morning,
even before the planes landed in Alaska. This will all
come down to two things, American security guarantees and American
commitment massive amount of money for redevelopment. I am lost
and maybe Whitcoff and Rubio will explain it today. I'm
(09:31):
just lost. How a game us? How the United States
offering an Article five commitment for a security guarantee to
Ukraine is a win for the United States. I mean,
this war started because of the globalists at the EU,
(09:51):
the European Union and NATO forcing the hand of the
Russians over years and years and years about well, Ukraine's
joining the EU and joining NATO, and with these two
what they're talking about, I mean, the reality of it,
let's take away the rhetoric and the continent back and forth.
(10:13):
Is joining the EU because the economic integration of American
capital under the Larry Finx of the world, who, by
the way, took over the World Economic Forum. As we
reported over the weekend, Larry Fink's now in charge of
the World Economic Forum. The Party of DeVos officially Class
Schwab is out and won't be charged with any crimes.
(10:35):
And then the Article five and they dare David Ignatius
dares to make an analogy to Germany in South Korea.
I think we have twenty five thousand combat troops in
South Korea, and I think we have I don't know,
thirty thirty five thousand still in Germany after that was
after the most destructive war in mankind's history, of which
(10:58):
we don't want to have it happen and again, so
we stopped it. I mean, there's no analogy at all
with Ukraine. The very first, David Ignatius as Ben Harnwell,
who will join me momentarily from Rome. I've also got
Dave Brett here this morning. We'll get Brian Glenn and
Jack Pasovic from the White House later. You know, he said,
(11:20):
this is all about the point of this and by
the way, my team, my crack team on the cold
open of the guys in Denver, just extraordinary. That explained
it all to You didn't need to watch any of
the shows. She didn't need to do anything. Just watch
that seven or eight minutes right there. You got it all, baby,
all the important stuff curated. He said, the whole purpose
of this war was whether Ukraine becomes a Western country
(11:43):
or not. Well, that's fine, and that's the Ukrainians fight,
in the Europeans fight, in Germany's fight, in Italy's fight,
and all these big talkers. Maloney's got the gall to
get on a plane to come over here where she
hasn't even made a serious attempt at getting to even
two percent on their defense spending. And all those countries
(12:03):
are still allowing you know, mass migration, mass invasion, I
might add, from from a Muslim countries and are collapsing,
and we have a British officer over the weekend give
an interview where he says what I've been saying for
years that if there's not if the political class and
this includes Niger Ferrage and the team over reform, don't
(12:27):
confront the mass immigration from invasion of radical Islamists and
this merger of Marxism, Neo Marxism, the hard left with
radical Islamist there's going to be a civil war in England.
His words, basically copying mind I've been saying for years
and years and years. Those are the issues. If the europe,
(12:49):
if it's if the war's about it becoming a Western
nation and a European nation, then fine. Let let if
that's what a million Ukrainians gave up their lives for
in their in their the structure of the country and
have a wounded the casualties, that's fine. The that's for
the guys in Brussels to figure out. They should do
(13:11):
the re development and they should provide the Article five.
They haven't even come close to defending themselves. America pulled
in to the Bloodlands on an Article five. That's a
tripwire for war. And I don't know if we got
the segment in there getting I don't know if I
(13:32):
heard that about the the vengeance factor of the Ukrainians.
As I said the other day, I said on Saturday,
this is worse than Northern Ireland. This is worse than
the West Bank. There you had, yes, you had horrible
things happen to individuals, and tough things happen, and people
killed and tore into over many decades, actually thousands of
(13:53):
a year. Let's say here you've had outright brutality on
both sides. The Russians they play smash model, that's how
their army rolls. There's a ton of Ukrainians, as human
nature says, they should that want vengeance. And now you're
going to put the United States in the middle of this.
(14:14):
It's very simple. Tell the chaperones, it's your baby. Tell Zelensky, hey,
this is your issue. Deal with it. You guys initiated this.
You push the Russians, and the Russians punched back, and hey,
they're not guiltless. The KGB runs are bad ownbrace, very
(14:34):
bad ownbrace inexorably, we can't get sucked in here. They
even talk about a commitment like in Germany and South Korea,
which were still there eighty years later, short break back
in the warm in a moment.

history many times, and right now you're engaged in political
combat on the Redistrict team to make sure that we
(16:55):
continue the Trump revolution in the Trump movement. Because of
demographic shifts in the United States and within States, we're
gonna have ten thirty report from Texas and you see feckless,
hapless leaders that are kind of the same type of
effeckless hapless leaders. England's had which don't know how to
(17:17):
act and act decisily, but don't talk. A lot a
lot of talk coming out of Texas. A lot of talk,
not a lot of action. The only action is at
the tip of the bannet as you nudge them along,
which we're going to have to do because now we
won nine seats in Texas, we're on five. We won nine.
We ain't gonna settle for seven. We're not going to
settle for five to one. All nine maximalist position today
(17:37):
in the great state of Texas. You want to play
smash mouth with Newsom and the governor California, Let's do it,
Ben Harnwell, Now is in the land of the blind,
the one eyed man is king. We need to look
at the situation in Ukraine through your beady eyes of
exactly what's going on. Was I off base at all
(17:58):
on exactly why the shap Roans are coming over today
because they see they see the chance for a big
win to get them off the hook of what they
caused and what they're not prepared to go back to
their people and say, hey, we got to step up
here because the people are terf amount of office.
Speaker 17 (18:14):
Sir, Good morning, Steve now, of course you weren't off base.
You're absolutely on point. And that's really I think what
I'm going to be the theme of what I'm going
to be saying today. You started off in your intro
paying tribute to the warroom, possing the power of this audience,
and I'm going to do exactly the same right now
on something specific, because it was really the power of
(18:35):
the warroom audience that stopped the decrepit Biden regime from
being able to get away with this security guarantees hoax.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
A year ago.
Speaker 17 (18:46):
We put we were the only show on air pushing
this point day after day after day after the globalists
tried their very subtle pivot from not talking about NATO
membership and they started to talk about security guarantees. There's
no press release, there's no grand statement to say they're
going to be changing their international.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Position on this. They pushed it out subtly and slightly.
Speaker 17 (19:10):
Fortunately, however, everybody involved in this show has more or
less beady snega eyes, including everyone at the International Bureau,
and we followed this rigorously, and I think we moved
the needle on this and they gave up on that
pitch until now it's resurrected like Frankenstein or something from
(19:32):
a B list horror movie. Steve, forgive me for saying this,
but security guarantees, it's the same shit sandwich a year
ago as it is today. The warroom audience, American tax
paying public deserves a Chateaubriand's stake. That is why they
elected Donald J.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Trump. That's what they want.
Speaker 17 (19:54):
And they've gone into the diner and then the plastic
vinyl tablecloth has been taken away.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
They've got people.
Speaker 17 (20:00):
Admiring that the pressed, ironed starch tablecloth.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You don't go up to the bar.
Speaker 17 (20:06):
The waiter comes all dressed up and removes the silver
dome dish.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
And you're looking.
Speaker 17 (20:10):
Then you're thinking, wait a minute, that's not my Chateau
breonze Steak I ordered.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You just pick it up, and then yep, yep, it's.
Speaker 17 (20:18):
The same shit sandwich they tried to serve up a
year ago. Their point here, Steve, about these security guarantees, which,
by the way, are not the same as Article five assurances.
Article five of NATO commits you to absolutely nothing. All
you are obliged to do is take whatever steps you
(20:39):
deem necessary. If a NATO ally is invaded and you
can say we are monitoring the situation and that fulfills
your NATO five obligations. Security guarantees and this is a
point only the war room has been making right. Security
guarantees are far more weighing on the US administration and
(21:02):
it's tax paying public because.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
They bind you into doing something. They are guarantees.
Speaker 17 (21:07):
A better analogy of a security guarantee is what the
UK provided for Poland in the Second World War. We
said to the Germans, if you invade Poland, Germany in
Britain would be at a state of war. Germany invaded Poland.
Therefore on the next day we declared war against That
is a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Now binds you into.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Doing someone hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Both World War One and World War Two. World War
One was Scotland. The Germans came across the low countries.
They had security guarantees. I think that in Belgium that
triggered it. Then they had security guarantees of all these kings,
you know, all in you know, between Austria and Hungary
Empire and the Russians. You have these security guarantees. These
(21:48):
are trip wires. This is where things go from regional
conflicts to world wars. That's what happened in World War
Two in Poland. The British woke up and they said
almost you know, hey, we've got this guarantee in Poland.
The Germans went in, Hitler went in, and this thing
went from a European war, from a local expansion of
(22:08):
Germany to a European war. And then it went from
a European war to a global war when the Japanese
attacked us. And why did that? Why did Germany then
announce it, announce war against United States? Declared war on us.
We didn't declare war on them. Guests, wait for it.
A security guarantee, a deal with the between the Germans
and the Japanese, and then all of a sudden you
(22:30):
had World War two security guarantees. And they're making the analogy.
Now this is like Germany are like South Korea. Well,
I think South Korea we still got twenty five thousand
combat troops. In Germany. I think we still have thirty
or thirty five thousand, right, I mean, these are massive
commitments of American troops. This is what they're They're going
for our money on the redevelopment they're also going for
(22:53):
much more long term commitment on arms and refinancing that
Zelensky mess of that government. But now they actually won
our active engagement in securing this, and they're not stepping up.
They're saying yeah, you know, as le as you're saying, yeah,
we get the Americans and then some other guys, the
chaperones will come in and kicking what they will, because
you can't trust them. The European elite are untrustworthy. They
(23:14):
weren't worth us in World War Two. They were not
We have to understand history here. The Russian peasants, the
Russian people, the Russian serfs. Okay, they're the ones that
broke the Wehrmacht right with I don't know, twenty five
or thirty million casualties. Okay, they broke them the old
fashioned way. Those are our allies, the elites, except for
(23:34):
the British Ubrits, and let's be blunt, that was about
saving the empire, everything from what happened you know, Asia
all the way to North Africa. So no, this is
once you go down this path, and hopefully President Trump's
presenting this as I varire for you guys, this you
still can't get to a deal because Zelenski wants more.
(23:55):
They always want more. I think it's an insult to
the President of the United States and the American people
that the chaperones, immediately after President Trump's done everything he
possibly can do, has got the weight of the world
on his shoulders. He just wants to stop the killing.
That the chaperones feel they're entitled to get on a
plane and kind of come over here to have this,
(24:17):
to have this, to have, you know, to chaperone Zelensky
and to force a bigger and broader deal. Am I
often that or the chaperones are here for a reason,
and the reason is not to help America or help
the America First Movement, Sir.
Speaker 17 (24:31):
One thousand percent, Steve, Look, I have never seen in
my lifetime. I don't think it's ever happened before that
a guest of the White House, invited over, ahead of state,
invited over unilaterally, decides for himself he is going to
bring along all of his mates into a bilateral with potus.
Never seen that before. It is a massive slap in
(24:51):
the face. One thousand percent. Look, I never heading to
a break. Let me just make this point about the
unreliability of your so called European allies.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That is a thousand percent on point.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
One example, who do you have going over today in
the in the gaggle of hats and second raterers phony
maloney herself. If she really thought that Russia represented a
threat to the interests of western continental Europe, that she
wouldn't be spending sixty equivalent of sixteen billion dollars on
(25:24):
building a bridge between Sicily and the Italian peninsula. She'd
be putting that money into tanks, right. But she's not
doing why because she knows it's a hoax. It is
a hoax. And by the way, what I would gently
encourage the President Trump to focus on is precisely at
this point about the Europeans and their so called five
(25:45):
percent spending commitment, this sixteen billion bridge between Sicily and
the Italian peninsula.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They're going to mark that off.
Speaker 17 (25:53):
They're saying this is now an element of national security
for Italy. They're going to count this off against their
they're five percent. That shows you, in a brief illustration,
see the nature of the people that you are dealing
with that are coming over to Shapa Owns and Lensky.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah, hang on one second. The chaperons. We're gonna get
on with it. Dave Brad is with us. We're also
gonna go to Texas. I want to thank Jim Rickards.
In the middle of the night on Saturday, he was
in Australia, so it was like two in the morning.
I want to thank Jim. He's coming back this week.
We're going to join us. What a sharp brain that is.
So glad to him as a contributor. Go check it
out right now, Rickards warroom dot com. We have a

landing page for you to get access to Strategic Intelligence.
You can find out what it's about. The short pitch
is that it's for c switch chairman and CEOs throughout
the world. Read this. It's inside Baseball. Strategic Intelligence is

(26:56):
and artificial intelligence short break back in the world.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
If you use your host, Stephen k Back.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Okay, we're gonna go Texas at the moment, but I
want to set the stage here for the warm and
posse because it's all about you. You are one of
the most powerful political instruments in the history of this country.
Always remember that. It's the reason we do this show,
and we spend so much time to make sure you
got the right information, because in the American people are
the right information. In their righteous idignation, they will do
(27:30):
the right thing, and then the country will do the
right thing. It's pretty you know, it's pattern recognition of
American history. Ben, you told me is a month or
so ago in the middle all kinds of different things happening.
You said, Hey, I want you to understand because Ben,
you're very selective about putting stuff up on Ghetor and
you've got a huge following, but you're very particular about
(27:52):
doing it. And you said, hey, I'm telling you, man,
the thing that gets people's blood blowing more than anything
is its Ukraine situation. And this is a time you
know in the EBB and floor of what's happening. Ukraine
wasn't on the top of mine at the time. You're
seeing it again, and this is why the American people
and the Patriot movement understands exactly what's at stake. Your thoughts, Sir.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Steve, I remember that conversation.
Speaker 17 (28:16):
And the reason I'm able to make those analyzes is
because since I've been on Gheta for nearly four years now.
I have read every single comment that's ever been posted
to anything I've posted on there, so I have a
good feeling of what the sentiment is.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I remember that conversation with you.
Speaker 17 (28:31):
It was I think at the time of when President
Trump bombed Iran, and I said, look, there's a difference
here between in MAGA with the America First Movement with
regards to Israel. I admit, I mean, like, I have
the same view to Israel as I have to Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But I don't need to go into that and this point.
Speaker 17 (28:53):
I recognize that there's a half of MAGA splits down
the mid on supporting Israel. With the regards to Ukraine,
it is one hundred percent against supporting Zelenski and his regime.
That is why I'm somewhat mystified that President Trump is
investing himself and his credibility and his authority to this degree.
(29:15):
What I would like to see, Steve, and I'll hand
back overty on this point is something that you first
asked three years ago of the Krepit President Magou.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
When is he going to come to.
Speaker 17 (29:29):
Congress and outline what America's interests are in Ukraine?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
That argument was never made.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
So before Steve Whitkoff or anybody else in the administration
starts calling the security guarantees, what was that expression used?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
A concession that they won in negotiation?
Speaker 17 (29:49):
Can someone please explain to the American public what the
American interests are that the security guarantees are supposed to
defend and protect.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Yeah, yeah, okay, hangar for a second. We're going to
get to all that. You're right, what's the we say?
That's a big win, a game changing win. That's got
to be explained. Please explain that. We want to be supportive.
Remember we're supportive of this. But here's the situation is
that these Europeans can't be trusted, and the mainstream media
is pushing you to do this. All the corporate interests,
(30:22):
all the war and the arms manufacturers, big tech, they
all want this. You know why their kids are not
going to be when you when you hear security guarantee,
you know what you do. You look at the table
of your sons and daughters, You look at those grandchildren.
That's a security guarantee. What's the security guarantee in Korea?
(30:43):
Combat troops? What's security guarantee in Germany? Combat troops. They
want your blood and they want your treasure yours. Are
you at the table they want yours somewhere else? Of
the posse's made a huge difference, and it's the top priority.
Is this entire situation of getting the House of Repersentatives
properly structured to reflect the demographic reality of the United
(31:05):
States mid decade after an atrocious census was done by
the Commerce Department, which they admit, and that's massive demographic
changes after the pandemic, and quite frankly, people looking for
more freedom in red states, also within states. Brian Harrison
joins US now from Texas. Here's what's got me more
upset than anything. Gavin Newsom play smash Mouth. This brother
(31:29):
is putting forward a plan to quick march. I think
in less than ninety days. E take going to the
biggest day. We got the seventh largest economy of world,
a fifty two seat, fifty two seats people in the
House of Represents in Congress fifty two seats, which I
think we have nine right now, and the state breaks
(31:51):
down probably fifty five to forty five right on votes
fifty five to forty five, or let's say something with
a four handle in front of it. They're going to
take it down to four. That is smash mouth, and
they've got to get They got so many hurdles they
got to go. But they're rolling and they're up in
your face about what they're going to do and how
they're going to do it. In Texas, it's all performance
(32:12):
art by the leadership. It was not for the grassroots,
the grassroots leaders, the MAGA movement, Brian Harrison, and one
or two others this thing. First of all, they would
have never come forward the five. Brian, please tell me
today we're getting the Big nine. So the Texas nine,
is it not? We're getting nine seats down there, sir?
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Well, we uh look, we sure as hell got need
to get more than five. I mean, you hit the
nail on the head. The Democrats all across the country.
PRIs Skerne Illinois, Gavin Newsom in California, Democrats coast to
coast play hardball. Texas Republicans aren't even playing beanbag And
I mean, what's the point of election integrity if Republicans
(32:54):
once they get elected, just turn around to give the Democrats.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
All their power.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
And that's what's been happening in the Great State of
Texas for year after year after year, voters go to
the ballot pox do their job, elect Republicans, and then
these voters do the bidding of the liberal Democrats and
act like they're helpless to stop it. The reality is
they're complicit with the Democrats. So to catch folks up
(33:18):
on what's going on, I'm pulled over, Sar, I can't
be with you on video, pulled over on the side
of thirty five driving to the Capitol for the Special
Session number two because for folks keeping track at home,
the Texas Republican leadership allowed the Democrats, allowed the Democrats,
assisted the Democrats to completely derail one hundred percent of
(33:38):
the first special session. We passed nothing, no redisearching, no
property taxes, nothing okay, and no punishment for the Democrats.
So we're coming back now. First day of Special Session
number two was last Friday. Democrats did not show up.
The expectation is the Democrats will come back today. But
here's the reality. Democrats are coming back on their terms.
(34:00):
Democrats are coming back on their timeline. After the Democrats
have had their successes, spending two or three weeks galvanizing
the country in opposition to our much needed registriting effort.
They've raised money, they've raised awareness, They've got blue states
now California going to redistrict their maps. And what have
we done in Texas. I expect we're going to have
(34:21):
some bad performance theater of some fake punishments will get
meeted out on these Democrats, punishments that, by the way,
will have been negotiated with the Democrats that won't really
hurt them. Here's what we need to do. Play horrid ball.
Gavin Newsom said, fire with fire. I mean, move past
the irony that he's probably the biggest arsonist in the
country when it comes to redisserting. Hit the Democrats where
(34:42):
it hurts, don't redraw the map, and just get five
Republican seats. We need at least seven, one for every
week they were gone, so at least seven. But the
governor was even copying Steve the Posse your rhetoric, my
rhetoric for the last week, saying, oh, well, we may
be able to get.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Nine or ten.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
Well, then we need to do that anything. And here's
the bad We're off to a bad start here because
the Texas House and the Texas Senate on Friday, they
one of Special Session number two. They refiled their maps,
but they only still had just five Republican seats. So,
as far as I'm concerned, if we're passing a map
(35:18):
and it's only got five seats on it, that's the
equivalent of Raving raising the white flag of surrender and
saying that Gavin Newsom, Okay, you and the Democrats are
going to beat us again, and we're just final with it.
But that's not what the Texas that's not what the
voters of Texas want. They deserve better than this.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
So the more impossi they're ready to call. Where you
got the number up there on the screen, and Grace
and Mo will put it out in all the chats.
We need nine. We need to go maximalist here. Lookay,
let's just put all the look for the uninitiated, the
people that don't pay attention, the low information voters. Is great,
(35:56):
your neighbors, they're fantastic, they're your friends, your neighbors. But
in politics, it takes a vanguard of fighters. And they
got them too, they got them two. So now it's
between the two vanguards. Okay, So let's just be blunt.
We want nine, we want we want maximalist positions in
every state in Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Florida. If Abbot
(36:19):
says he can get nine or ten, we won nine
or ten and let the Democrats deal with it. Because
Newsom is coming for forty eight out of fifty two.
I want you to absorb. You have not one Republican
in all of New England, not one. I think you
have a twenty five seed delegation, not one. I think
you aggregate up New England. It's something high thirties, low forties.
(36:40):
It ain't zero. It's zero. Now in California, which is
the seventh biggest or fifth biggest economy in the world,
they're about to take total representation away from everybody. That's
how they roll. And I have no problem with that.
That's how they roll. But we got to roll the
same way. We got to get nine, and we got
to light a fire under Abbot. He is so week
andffeckless and hapless that if you don't put that, you
(37:03):
don't nudge him along with the tip of the bannet
in the back, he won't do anything, will go on
Fox and bluster and then nothing, Just like on the border,
all this crap on the boarder, there was happening. Abbot's
out there. I'll send the National Guard, but although there's
to be a concierge service, Harrison, how do we do this, brother?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (37:20):
No, so amen and listen, Steve. Here's how Just to
put a fine point on this, the difference between the
Democrats and Democrat states and their leadership versus Republicans. In
the state of Texas, Massachusetts, a Democrat state with a
Democrat governor, they don't have even one single congressional map
that goes to Republicans, and they're talking about doing even
(37:42):
more redisserting when they've already jerrymnered every Republican seat out
of the state. But in Texas, let me make this
super simple for everybody. If you hadn't been following along
for the past couple of weeks, ignore the theater. Let's
cut through the bs and slice through the spin. I'm
gonna make this as simple as I can can. If
the governor, Lieutenant governor, and Speaker of the Texas government
(38:07):
want more than five Republican seats, if they want seven
eight nine, we will have seven eight nine seats.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
If we do not get.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
Seven more Republican seats, eight more Republican seats or nine
more Republican seats. I'll tell you why. It's for one reason.
The governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the state of
Texas did not want it to happen. Those three have
enough power under the Constitution of rules and our status cowards.
They can get it done.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
The cowards. The cowards. One thing he's saying, by the way,
I understand this audience can't stand the sight of Gavin Newsom.
I got that. But one thing you can't say about
that brother, is he's not a coward. He's up in
our grill and he's going to He's got a very
tough march to make this happen. They got some structural hurdles.
He's all in and he's telling Trump, I'm doing this
to impeach you. He's not shy about why he's doing it.
(38:56):
He's saying, I'm doing it to impeach you. All the
mask are off everywhere. If this doesn't happen, if we
don't get nine at Texas is because of gutless cowards
at the head of the Texas government, and the grassroots
has got a belly full of this. Now you did
this on you did this on the invasion. It took
Trump win it again for the third time to make
(39:19):
things right down there. You had every opportunity to defend
your own state border. You refuse to do it time
and time again, and now you're doing the same thing.
This audience is not going to accept performance art. Brian,
I know you've got to bounce to get back on
the road. Where do folks get you in that Twitter
feed that they all hate, the most hated.
Speaker 9 (39:37):
Twitter feed in the capitol. Do your civic service. Piss
off a rhino today. Go to my ex speed at
Brian E. Harrison and follow me there at Brian E. Harrison.
At Brian E. Harrison, blow up the phone lines in
the Texas Capitol. Tell them you're sick and tired of
Democrats and Democrat states fighting harder for the future of
our state and country than elected Republicans. It's time the
(40:00):
like the Republicans, fight like the future is on the line.
You know why, because it.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Is, Brian Harrison. You're a hero and a patriot. Thank you, sir,
appreciate it. We don't want to perform. If you just
watch Fox he watch them, says man. Those guys in
Texas that those that senior leadership. They're tough. They haven't
taken a parking spot. They're still going to pay. These
guys no findes nothing. It's got to stop. Be as
(40:26):
hard and tough as those Democrats, or feel the wrath
of the people. Patriot Mobile Glenn's story The Glenn of
the Patriot Mobile guys on their pact this extraordinary, amazing,
best phone service in the country. Do the switch today
called nine to seven two Patriot talk to an American
citizen probably in East Texas somewhere that their call centers
(40:50):
to make the switch today. Do it. Patriot Mobile short Break.
Speaker 10 (41:00):
Here's your host, Stephen K.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Bas Okay, our own day, Brett Dave. Thanks for sticking around.
You see what's happening. And let's get that during this
let's also get that number up for the Governor's office,
Lieutenant Governor's office. We want Texas nine today. When you
call up and say, hey, the governor said he could
get nine seats down there, we want all nine full maximalists,
(41:25):
they said, well, these guys are maximalists. You damn right,
we're maximists. The country's on the line right here. Don't
take it for me. Listen to them Harrison just said it.
In Massachusetts, I think it's ten to nothing or twelve.
There's not one republic in a state that I think
has forty two or forty three percent Republican voters. And
when you aggregate these things up, now not one seat.
(41:46):
And she does a press conference says it's not Jerry
mannered enough. We're gonna make sure they could never have
a Republican all in New England twenty five to nothing.
Suck on that. And look what they're going to do
in a with fifty two seats. We've got nine right now. Nothing.
They're gonna take you down to fort in New York
(42:06):
the same way they're gonna do it there. Pritzker, it's
seventeen seats, we only get the only three Republicans. It's
time to go full maximalist. The hour is late, let's rule.
Let's keep that up. We can split. But I want
to see Dave Brett's lovely fassage. Dave Brett, thank you
for hanging out as an economist. You're both a philosopher
(42:29):
and you're a hard numbers economists. Let's put your hard
numbers economist on on this war. The situation dump and
President Trump just remember it's not your war. Every second
he let these guys, the chaperones coming over is to
make it the biggest global TV event of the year,
which it may be because you've never had these kind
of people show up. It's to try to stick you
(42:51):
with the tar baby of Ukraine. Dave Brett help me
out here, brother.
Speaker 16 (42:56):
Yeah, well, a great show. Harnwell on fire, love all
of it. The economics is pretty simple. Shigiping in China
is laughing his head off at us. Every missile we
shoot off is fifteen million minimum out of our taxpayer's wallets,
and a waste in terms of our major geopolitical threat,
(43:17):
which is China. And so we got to focus back
on that. Number Two, even Putin knows, and we don't
trust Putin either, like Reagan said, but even Putin knows,
you know, he doesn't trust Gee, he trusts trumping us
way more than them. And so wrote reprochema is in
the cards, I hope, which brings us up to point three.
Speaker 8 (43:40):
Larry Fink, new.
Speaker 16 (43:41):
Head of the w World Economic Forum, over Klaus Schwab,
who's recommending we clean up things after he uncleaned it.
Speaker 8 (43:49):
So there's two things you.
Speaker 16 (43:50):
Got to focus on the economics here, who paid all
the bills for this war? I'm exaggerating slightly, but the
answer is the United States of America, and you you
the base and the taxpayers in the United States. Second,
who paid an even greater price for this war? All
the war dead, all those boys bleeding over on the fields.
It's a million in Ukraine and a million dead and
(44:12):
injured in Russia both right, and the latest stats seem
to show losses in Russia are just a trickle, right,
and the single digits are a bit higher desk per day.
They're still taking it to a Ukraine, right, Ukraine's recruiting
sixty year olds. No one wants to calculate, right, the
price of those dead boys into these calculations. The Europeans,
(44:34):
our chaperones are disgusting morally for not mentioning the loss
of life. And then at the end of the day,
the World Economic Forum and all of our betters are
going to go in to make a ton of money
on the minerals and agriculture and et cetera in Ukraine.
It is morally repugnant. Harnwell started alluding to this. So
I'm going to get to why I think the war
(44:56):
room is still scratching their heads on this thing.
Speaker 8 (44:59):
Trump.
Speaker 16 (45:00):
President Trump is the commander in chief, he's the CEO,
he's the chief magistrate.
Speaker 8 (45:05):
And so why is this not done? Right?
Speaker 16 (45:08):
Everybody wants to why is it? I want it to
be done. I make people's heads pop off. But I'm
gonna give you three reasons. Right, I'm gonna go back
to David Hume, who made the great moral distinction. What
is and what ought to be? What ought to be
is the Kingdom of God on earth. What is the
case is grotesque. And I'm gonna give you three reasons
(45:29):
why our chaperones will not let Trump pull us off.
Number one reason is that the euro Europeans and our
globalists and our betters all know they caused this. Right,
we had a coup in twenty fourteen. They knocked out
a democratically elected president of Ukraine. Putin all the while,
way back then said after we already lied to them
(45:52):
about seventeen countries getting NATO status, this was the lion
of the sand. And so now Putin's saying nothing different. No,
you're not going to do this. It's not going to
be a NATO country. So number one, our European betters
know they caused this. Number two, they also know, and
I got a few charts on this that'll solidify this point.
(46:13):
But they're scared, and so are US senators and the
rhinos who were cheerleading and pumping up Zelenski before the
last meeting when he not only slapped Trump in the face,
he punched Trump in the face. And so the base
is going, what in the world is.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
Going on here?
Speaker 16 (46:28):
Trump's the toughest guy we know of, He's the best fighter,
the best negotiator.
Speaker 8 (46:33):
Why aren't we out of this mess?
Speaker 16 (46:35):
And then the third, of course, is just the money, right,
it's just morally grotesque.
Speaker 8 (46:40):
Who's going to win.
Speaker 16 (46:41):
It's just like the eight financial crisis, which let the
tea party and the grassroots on fire.
Speaker 8 (46:48):
And you've covered every bit of that.
Speaker 16 (46:49):
But let me just give you a couple quick charts
just to show you what's at steak.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Here.
Speaker 16 (46:54):
Number one, the first chart just goes back to twenty
twenty one. Here's the firepower. In the blue is Ukraine,
in the reds Russia. This is back when Politico and
all of our lying mainstream media all political views are
my own. But it's it's just a fact, look at
that chart. There's Ukraine on the Leptoire's Russia on the right,
and political saying they're winning.
Speaker 8 (47:13):
Ukraine's winning. Now they've lost.
Speaker 16 (47:16):
There's not a credible strategic analyst I know of that.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
I'll say they're winning. Second chart is even better.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
Uh hold hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa? Hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on, hang on, slow down, slow down, Professor,
the kids in the back row, that would be me,
I was a back row guy. You've you've hangover. Second.
I want to make sure we're going to hold through
the breaking and pick this up. And we got Posso
and Brian Glenner at the White House Historic day to day.
(47:44):
Obviously the chaperones are coming. I don't think there's ever
been a group, even in World War Two. I don't
think we have had a group of of the power.
You know, you got Germany, you got France, you got Italy,
you got the United Kingdom, you got all the ones
that they think count over there coming. So historic President Trump,
he's got Zelenski. The weight of history is on him.
(48:06):
Uh So we're gonna explain it all to you exactly
where we are. Remember when Dave Brat's on of those charts.
All of them said, remember how long you heard, Oh,
Ukraine's winning, the Russia's going to collapse, Russian economy's going
to collapse, is going to be a revolution. He's losing,
he can't recruiting more people. It was all lies, all lies, lies.
(48:29):
We didn't buy this from the very beginning, from the
night before, the evening before this fiasco started. What back
in February March of twenty two, we told you exactly
what was going to happen. Ben Harnwell, Dave Bratt, Jack Pasobac,
Stephen K. Bannon and more of the War Word said
this exact. Mersheimer's right. These guys are going to fight
down to the last Ukrainian. Now they're getting close to
(48:51):
the last Ukrainians, taking sixty year old folks. They want
American combat troops. Short break
