This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. As we told you, if you look at the three aspects of the key work that President Trump has to get done right away as we walk you through it many, many times with just a reset, you've got the he must end the kinetic part of the Third World War. He's doing that in Ukraine and he's doing that in the Middle east and particularly in Gaza. At the same time, you have to make sure and prepare that we don't get into a shooting war with the Chinese Communist Party around Taiwan with exerting our interest, not surrendering, but exerting our interest. And as you know, in this show, we're the hardest of the heart of take down the Chinese Communist Party. But obviously, President Trump has to deal with a much more complicated situation than that. And he can't just come out and say, hey, we got to take down the ccp. That would be too blunt. So that's on the geopolitical, national security side. Then on the border, we got to get, you know, we have to secure the border, then deport, I don't know, 10 to 12 million illegal alien invaders. That's why we started the show with Ben Berkwam, to show the efforts are still underway to make sure this thing is sealed. And like you said, I'm very familiar. We spent a lot of time down there in Sunland, New Mexico. That's right where we built a wall between Juarez and El Paso, one of the most dangerous places on earth in the United States of America. If you don't believe me, I always recommend this weekend, you want to have something that will be an eye opener for you is the movie Sicario. It's 10 years old now, but it's made like it's made today. And man, it is bad hombres after bad hombres after bad hombres and it's right there in Juarez, in El Paso, which is one of the hot spots. The Army Corps of Engineers said the wall could not be built. And we built it. It had to be built. You got to stop that floating. But that's President Trump's second, which is both secure and the deport. And this whole meltdown of the Justice Department has sucked up a ton of time, a ton of effort. It's this Eric Adams situation in New York City. We just gave you news that looks like Newsom is caved in. California supporting that 50. He's going to veto that $50 million. Remember we talked about this. They passed the gall of them to pass a $50 million bill that got California taxpayer money of $50 million to thwart President Trump's efforts on the sanctuary cities to get folks out of here and starting with the most violent, dangerous criminals. And I said, why are we even considering. Why would you have a team? Why is Ambassador Rick Renell even out there considering a rebuild that American taxpayers are going to step in and basically bail out the insurance companies or the pool of insurance? Because I got to tell you, if you don't take care of the insurance issue out there, what they call these fire zones now, the equity value of the homes in Southern California are going to go to zero. There has to be a major rethinking of this, a major rethinking, because it's going to cost the American taxpayers a lot of money. And people, I think, are prepared to do it because such a vital part of the economy. But, hey, we're not going to let you play games. So whether it's New York City and remember Manhattan, it ain't Peoria, Illinois, you know, it's not Garden City, Missouri, it's not Provo, Utah, it's not Demings, New Mexico, right there on that part of the border down there by Sunland, it's the financial capital of the world. And this is why it's so dangerous to President Trump. Because if the DC Is the bridge of the ship of state and you have the home offices that basically what they are of the Federal Reserve and the home office of the treasury next to the White House, the engine room of that ship is New York City. Trade data, all commerce, trade and finance, capital markets boom all through there. And if it's not transacted there, it's on a server there. And therefore it gives these source radicals like Bragg and Letitia James control. And they know this source knows that these are smart, cunning people. So that gets. And then it gets to the third part. The third part is they fight the deportations and we try to get this fight these sanctuary cities. You get the third part, which is basically sorting out this financial message. Now the financial mess. Andy Biggs is going to tell him because a big part of it is, you know, the Europeans. JD Just told them right there, hey, the problem ain't China, it's not Russia, it's you. But this is also we met the enemy and they are us in this budget. We can't bitch and moan and whine this. Outside forces, this, we've done this ourselves consistently because we have a political class that thrives off this and they don't have to pay any consequences and no accountability because they got a money printing machine called the Federal Reserve. Now, what President Trump's trying to do, this is where Navarro and the tradehe's trying to reset the economic model of the country to really reset patterns of world trade. This is why the reciprocity for these tariffs is quite brilliant. And they're sitting there mocking, well, you can't do it. It's so ridiculous. I don't need to hear Paul Krugman and these guys all wrong on inflation. President Trump's got a very sophisticated theory about the market of the United States. This is why the Canadians, not just geostrategically but geo economically, are going to wake up to the fact that, hey, I think it may make sense to somehow put this together. But he's thinking through the whole pattern of world trade and how we get back to at least a third of our costs being covered by the premium ticket it takes to get here into the United States market. Obviously we're doing this in this, in this, in this, how do I say this? The political geopolitical reality of the 21st century, and that is the Chinese Communist Party, the gangsters in Beijing now have two partners. They have partners. They had the mullahs in Tehran. So you got the Persians on board and you got the KGB in Russia. And the biggest strategic mistake we've made in, I don't know, since Richard Nixon got China on our side, I shouldn't say on our side, to get them on, not the side of the Soviet Union, because they're only on their own side, is to allow Russia to be forced into the hands of the ccp, as they were in President Trump's. First thing for these radicals up here that are maniacally focused on us getting into a shooting war with Russia, they are. That's your apparatus here. That's the guys at The Munich conference, they just want to sit there and go, russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. JD went and said, hey, timeout. Not Russia. In fact, not even ccp. You, you're the problem. Because they got a big love tap the other day. The love tap from Pete Hegser was, hey, look, you know, the security of Europe is no longer in the vital national security interest of the United States, not just the Eastern Slavic border between Ukraine and Soviet Union. He's saying the whole deal, it's important, it's just not in the vital. That went like a shock because then all of a sudden the people have been leeching off workers in the United States, the elites of Europe. Wake up call. I guess when Trump told me it had to be 5% GDP for my defense, maybe I should take that. Hell, we're paying 3.4% at $900 billion and it can't, it can't go on. It can't, it cannot go on. Particularly when we should be using unrestricted warfare against them. Like, hey, let me think about this for a second. What should. Oh yeah, cut them off from our capital markets and cut them off from our technology. And I mean really cut them off. Not let Sequoia Capital and all these traders basically give them access to our technology through their investments in joint ventures. I mean, get real about it. You get real about it. You don't need a $900 billion defense budget. I'm a hawk and I'm telling you, you don't need one. That's all. Because those pigs at the trough in Munich got their snouts down there big. And this budget we just came out with, they're cutting Medicaid. And hey, I'm all for cutting Medicaid if it's illegal aliens on there, waste, fraud and abuse. All of it. Right, all of it. And if it's excess. But we have to also have a wake up call here. The working class in this country have been so underpaid by the corporations we gave tax breaks to and the people that the corporations shipped all the jobs overseas. Some people don't have high value added paying, good paying jobs anymore. Just a reality. They don't, they don't want to be on Medicaid, but they are on Medicaid. You can't be cutting that until you get to the Defense Department. You got to get across the Potomac. You got to face facts. You got to face a hard reality. And the Europeans are getting a day with both barrels. They got Pete Hegseth one barrel yesterday, got the other barrel, JD Vance today JD Said, hey, I don't want to hear all your whining. I don't want to hear all this because, no offense, you guys allowed the mass migration that is the invasion of your country. You welcomed it. Merkel, remember, used to be at the train station, sitting there, welcome, welcome. Hey, they waited at the train station yesterday in Munich when the guy with the car ran over another 15 or 20 people, or was it Cologne? A couple weeks ago? Were they driving into the Christmas. The Christmas, you know, the Christmas Village. They welcomed them on those trains. I said, the time when this started with Merkel, when I was covering for Breitbart, I said, hey, they're not going to be welcoming in a couple of years because they do not assimilate. They do not assimilate. And they're in. They. And they got a chip on their shoulder and they want to take this place over. And that's what's happening. Full on, full stop. You told the elites of Europe, guess what? You're not a vassal state. You're not a protectorate. How can. No. They're not a protect law. Go to Sta Gasta. Go to. Go to Provence. Go to the south of France. Go to Tuscany. Go to the west end of London. There's more money there. Europe's got money all over the place. You know where it's not. It's not with the. It's not down with the. It's not down with their defense. If they're so worried about Russia. This is a Russian army that's lost, according to President Trump, 750,000 men either killed or wounded, and they have not taken Kharkiv yet. They're backed up in Kursk in their territory, and they've not even come close to taking Kyiv. They're still short of the Dnieper River. The Dnieper River. You're telling me that's going to roll across Poland? The North German plane? No, forget it. That's not the army that we. That's not the army that we forward deployed tactical nuclear weapons. The Pershing missiles back in the early 80s about when the European elites had a meltdown. When we bailed them out for the third time. We bailed you out enough. You got to bail yourselves out. You can take your resources. You're so concerned. This is why trump. We pay 3.4%. It's outrageous. Our defense budget is a percentage of GDP. They pay under 2. And I was tasked with sitting down with these guys, said, yo, yo, yo, it's not even two when you go in there. It's got women's health care, it's got green New deal, it's got all this crap. I said no. I want to see maneuvers, I want to see training, I want to see interoperability, I want to see weapons, I want to see how NATO stands up more than two combat divisions. NATO is a paper tiger. Everybody knows that's an open secret. The biggest fight they have in NATO because every quarter they have a maneuver. They have these maneuvers, these operations. And every quarter the kind of administrative leadership in Brussels changes to a new partner. You know, Poland one day, one quarter, UK the next, the United States one, Italy the next. The biggest fights they have is how to make sure they're out of and don't have, you know, they're not stuck with one of the big maneuvers because they've got to pay the extra money. That's how serious an ally they are. They should have gotten the joke. And this is my problem with the defense budget. President Trump has given you a hemispheric defense from the Panama Canal to Greenland and the Arctic. We're going to hermetically seal that part of Central and North America. Yep, yep. You're going to seal it with Alaska and Greenland and the Arctic and maybe eventually Canada. Canada's going to step up to the plate because you're going to lose your territorial integrity and your sovereignty up there. And then when you look to the Pacific and you look at the vast ocean, the vast desert of the Pacific Ocean, you see the three island chains, all of a sudden America is kind of impenetrable. Yeah. You add on top of it a iron dome or an anti ballistic missile. Hey, we're good to go. Show me what you got. Then you can pick and choose. Then all of a sudden you can get focused on Taiwan and get a navy and build a navy and build a force to defend Taiwan. You don't have to be spread all hell's half acre. The post war international rules based order with those pigs in Munich are up at the trough on has been underwritten by American working men and women. Their tax dollars for what? 70 or 80 years in the blood of their kids, their sons and daughters. From the 101st Ford deployed in Romania to people walking, patrolling the Hindu Kush, to those kids on the carrier battle groups in the Red Sea to keep the Suez Canal open for those awful, awful elites in Europe, South China Sea, the 28,000 combat troops we have in South Korea that are essentially hostages. They have a coup going on over there inspired by the Chinese Communist Party. You got Kids on patrol in the South China Sea. You got airmen all over the place. You have Special Forces over Hell's Half Acre in Sub Saharan Africa, North Africa, Middle East. We've paid the price. We've been vigilant. It's time for other people to pick up the thing. You know, in Europe, you're a bunch of deadbeats, though the elites of Europe are deadbeats. And remember, every one of those countries virtually were not on our side in World War II. Those elites were not on our side from Spain and Italy and Germany and Norway and Sweden and Ireland. Hey, and there's a whole bunch of elites in England weren't on our side either. Hess didn't fly over there at half tea. Went over there, cut a deal with that crowd. Short break.
