This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I 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 try to do everything.

I wish that 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. Ban Saturday 15th February year of our Lord 2025 so Newsweek just came up with a. A piece and if we can put it. If Denver can get it. It just printed and I put it up on Getter. By the way, make sure, if you want to see my stream of conscious thoughts on different topics, make sure you get Getter. It's totally free. I use it because, well, besides the fact we're banned everywhere, it's very easy for me to use because I'm a techno technological, not on the cutting edge, let's say it's super simple. And I think if you talk to people on Getter, they'll tell you it's easy to use and it's a great little community there. So make sure you go download it today. That's Getter, the app. Or you can go online and do it also. But the app works for me on the different devices. I just put up the Newsweek piece from last night, the 5:00 show, I think it was. Andy Biggs came on. Oh, you know what? It might have been the morning show because I don't think any could come back on the afternoon. It was a morning show and we talked about the CR because a lot of noise going on. What's happened. You got this reconciliation process and that's where they're spending all the time. And that's kind of 26. That's really 10-1- Forward. This is where it's going to be. One or two, one big beautiful or two. And you know, it's got to get the border thing in there and the deportation, that's $175 billion addition to everything we spend. You don't think people will be held accountable for that? You don't think people ought to go to jail for that or what they did to the country? Takes you $175 billion to sort it out. Another hundred billion dollars even there to the Pentagon and the Pentagon thing. And look, I'm a hawk, I'm not a dove by a long shot, but this thing's out of control, just is. It's not coordinated, it's not thought through. Taj is going to join me in the second hell. Taj gave the better part of his life either in the service of his country as a seal or in the service of his country as a contractor because that's what they did. They basically have to get the retirements and the medical off the balance sheet. They went to these contractors guys doing the exact same thing. And these wars in the Middle East, $9 trillion, 7 trillion for Iraq and 2 trillion for Afghanistan. That was the sum total. What would the country be if you had that 9 trillion? You put it back into the country. That's what's happening now. You have to look at everything as an opportunity cost. This is one of the ways you look at usaid, you know, is the opportunity costs because it's not unlimited anymore. They've dealt with this like we have unlimited amount of money. We don't. We're creating massive amounts of fiat currency all the time just to paper this over. It's the reason gold. Philip Patrick is going to be here at the bottom of the hour. We're going to walk through it. I've asked him calling a day and talk about this exact topic, this convert. What are the forces? I don't need to know. The price of gold is near an all time high. I want to find out the process. This is what we're here to do with this show. Not to give you a fish to teach you how to fish, to teach you how to think for yourself, how to, how to. And all this, you know, noise and everything's coming at you every day. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, right? How do you think it through? What are the couple things that you've got to say? Okay, I've got a framework, I got a mental map. I can understand it. So new information comes and I can sort it out. I can think that there's, that's how you use your agency. Ideas do have consequences, massive consequences. The things that started just an idea and all of a sudden rolls through the system like the American Revolution, like the French Revolution. They started as kind of concepts and ideas. Hey, you know what? They led to Valley Forge and the guillotine right there in the, right there in the middle of Paris. Ideas have consequences because in understanding the ideas you can Then begin to use your agency. You notice that msnbc, they're all talking about agency. Now that's a new thing. That's their whole new deal. Having treated their people like cogs in the machine, now they're because the credentialed class. Then you got the drop down to the plebeians because they don't care about the working class, they don't care about the middle class. Now it's all about agency. They're talking about agency. Good luck with that. Check back to me in a decade about how that's working out for you because you don't care. It's all performative. But that's the purpose of this platform is for your agency. And you see it everywhere. Look at the precinct strategy. One of the things we're going to start doing at cpac, I want to have a conversation on the day we're there for the. For the force multiplier, Particularly it's about the precinct strategy where we are. Because the people in the precinct strategy, now that you're engaged in it, you understand how the established order in these states are not prepared to just welcome you with you are actually the cavalry arriving to the besieged homesteaders. And in this case the homesteaders are not. They're not embracing you, they're fighting you everywhere. Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, all over every state, but particularly there's these states that are key states, central states, and the fight there is fierce because they're not interested in your agency. They just want you to shut out, sit down, shut up and do what you're told. We're beyond that now. That's what populism is. You've actually can kind of feel your power. You want to feel your power. Remember on the afternoon of the 20th of January, 2021, when Trump got back to Mar A Lago, when he left Andrews Air Force Base? You remember that? You remember that? That looked a little grim, right? We played what Frank Sinatra's My Way. Remember that? People weren't feeling so great. Joe Biden just had his deal and they were all the CNN guy saying, look at the reflecting pool. It's arms. It's arms of Joe Biden's arms hugging America. Remember that clown who's still there, by the way, making ridiculous projections for cnn. Remember all that? The odds look along then they look damn long. But hey, just okay, dust ourselves off, let's get a rally point just like any army. That kind of takes one. Let's get a rally point, let's regroup, let's Calm down. Let's understand what's going on here, and we're going to win this fixed bayonets, and let's get the hell down that hill and start fighting again. So now we're in the middle of it right now. You got to be able to sift through. Boom. What are the driving forces? Where's the power in this? One of the powers of this is that the Doge element has been tremendous. It's been great as a blunt force instrument, delivering blunt force trauma against the administrative and deep state. You see it every day. Then how do you weave it into something that's real? When I say real, I mean cuts. I mean, you know, take programmatically taking things down and cutting costs, cutting costs, cutting costs, cutting costs and looking for efficiencies and effectiveness, which are little two different things. Taj, you've been in the wars of the Middle east your entire adult life. You kind of, no offense, dedicate your life to save your country or serve your country in doing that. And you see this big pivot. The apparatus doesn't want to pivot. They don't. When they got. When Afghanistan, Iraq was taken from them. Hell, it shouldn't be launching. Folks in the same neighborhood up there in the Ukraine ain't that far away. They obsessed. They're obsessed. They're obsessed with these forever wars. Obsessed. If you come in and want to shake it down, say, hey, look, I think the way you think it, think it through. Oh, you're a peacenik, you're a dove. You're going to jeopardize America. No, we're not. No, we're not. We're into smartly protecting America because I tell you what, we go down your path and keep spending a trillion dollars and have people everywhere, and you can't recruit guys now because the parents are not so sure it's worth it and it's all woke, then you're going to get in a bind and you got this debt, and now you got a national security problem with the amount of money we owe and who we owe it to and how much it's costing us. Because it ain't free, Taj. Gil. And tell me, and what I need more than ever is a. Is a. Is a hot great cup. Cup of black coff. That's funny. My Presidential Transition Project, just to blow your heads up, all the liberals, all the Progressive Watchers, Project 2025. Hey, we worked on the project. All I got was a crummy mug. It's great you're seeing the Project 2025 and all of it, you know, the American, Brooks Rollins and Stephen Miller and the CRA guys, particularly our boy Russ Vogt, they're hammering away at this thing nonstop. So tell me about it. Tell me about the champagne of coffee, brother. On a Saturday morning, I need a big mug of hot warpath coffee.
