What is the primal scream of a dying regime in Venezuela?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:02
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 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Jack Posobiec 0:24
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Stephen K. Bannon 0:34
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. Bann.

Saturday, 15 November, Year of Our Lord 2025. I've got up now. Elizabeth has gotten up for me. I think she's got up on Getter. I just approved. It's a story from Reuters about Scott Besson giving an interview, I believe it is, and talking about the Treasury Department made a lot of money on this swap deal they did in Argentina. The concept, and we'll get into more of this next week, of moral hazard is something that, because you're going to get this on AI and all of it, moral hazard, this concept, we'll drill down. more of it next week. I think it's more than a philosophical. It's also kind of a practical financial decision. We'll get into that. Ben Harnault, you'll look at this article. Posso's on a train.
Stephen K. Bannon 1:36
They're heading up. Benny Johnson and Posso are going to go to this UFC fight tonight. They're taking 3,000 Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA, those Magnificent Freedom t-shirts up there to share. So it's going to be quite an event. I'm sure we're going to get tons of footage. We're going to get Posso in a moment. He's on, I think, the Acela heading to New York City from the Washington, D.C. area. We'll get to him in a moment. Brandon Weikert. Brandon, your books... You've got a magnificent book on biohacking. You've got a great book on the Mullahs in Iran and the whole Persian situation, space. I tell people if you want a practical book on a topic of geopolitics, I think you're one of the best writers out there because you don't put a lot of flourish to it.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:17
You just get right to the facts and you lay it out. I want to get you on this morning because I know you've been very interested. We've been talking now for months that you're very interested and focused on what I would call the Monroe Doctrine 2.0 or President Trump's historic pivot to hemispheric defense.

How does President Trump's strategy redefine hemispheric defense?

Brandon Weikert 2:32
Yes.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:33
Now, walk me through the architecture of that pivot. why it's important to the America First and MAGA movement, and then we're going to drill down on the details about Venezuela, because I know you've got, not concerns, but I think you've got a very practical way of looking at it. We've got Bradley Thayer who's got a little different take on it, but we're going to get some different opinions this morning. Brandon Weikert, the floor is yours, sir.
Brandon Weikert 2:55
Well, thank you, Steve, as always, for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. The repositioning of the U.S. grand strategy, this is something that Trump is masterminding with his team, including Hegseth and Bridge Colby, who's one of the bright stars, in my opinion, which is why they're trying to take Bridge out. But they have basically since the summer been working on a new national security strategy that would reorient our forces away from focusing on European area of command, the Middle East, even the Indo-Pacom area to prioritizing Western hemispheric defense. The administration has been talking about actually getting rid of AFRICOM. There was one conversation that happened over the summer about that.
Brandon Weikert 3:40
and merging it with EUCOM, which is European Command, and then deprioritizing CENTCOM so that we can send those resources to Northern and Southern Command. Those are the areas. And the reason is because the post-Cold War unipolar era of America running the world has been over for a while now. It's just we didn't get the memo. And so Trump has recognized this, and he's reprioritizing our base, that is our hemisphere, the way that Russia's prioritizing their hemisphere, the way that the Chinese are prioritizing their hemisphere, because the world is now tripolar.
