The Tuesday, December 26th edition of War Room was hosted by National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam and featured conversations about the importance of the 12 Days of Christmas, as well as dissecting the biggest news stories of the year, and introducing the War Room audience to the inimitable humor of the Fleccas Talks podcast.
Catch up below, in two parts, in case you missed it:
During a marathon appearance on War Room with Stephen K. Bannon this week, The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam hit on three topics which are likely to dominate national media through the New Year.
According to Kassam: the Democrats are dusting off their 2020 playbook in order to kick Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot; our national elites are propelled by arrogance – believing they’re smarter than those who came before them; and the unchecked border crisis will result in mass street protests against the Biden regime.
In late summer 2020, Kassam and Bill McGinley put together analysis of a strategy put forward by Democrat election-lawyer Marc Elias as well as Soros advisor Rosa Brooks. Their plans established a predicate for stealing the 2020 presidential election. The groups anticipated that Donald Trump would appear the overwhelming victor during initial election returns, but explained that the weeks-long counting of mail-in ballots would eventually put Joe Biden over the top.
As Kassam notes, various leftist groups like Act Blue provided material support for the actual insurrection – Antifa’s siege of the White House complex in late May and early June, as well as the routine Black Lives Matter violence in the run up to the 2020 election.
Reflecting on the humility and wisdom of those who attended the town hall at the Cowboy Church in Casa Grande, Arizona on Wednesday night, Kassam noted our national political elites couldn’t appear more different. Instead of humility and a reverence for those who came before them, Kassam argues Democrats and the left believe they must prove they’re smarter than past generations.
“The people who were in the Cowboy Church in Casa Grande last night do not fancy themselves as smarter than this nation’s founders… the people who occupy the halls of power… start from a position that because several centuries have passed, therefore they must be smarter than the people who founded this nation,” Kassam said.
Finally, in an ominous prediction, Kassam told Bannon the continued unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the United States under President Joe Biden’s watch will likely result in civil unrest. Referring to Americans, like those who attended the Cowboy Church town hall, Kassam said: “You feel in these peoples’ demeanor… they’re angry. And you feel that something will absolutely give way here, because these people I just don’t think are going to sit around and take it anymore.”
He noted the mass demonstrations which broke out in Germany against mass immigration when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed 1.7 million migrants into her country. Kassam said the per-capita number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. had already surpassed the name which led to tens-of-thousands protesting in Germany.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Joe Biden’s government is pumping billions of dollars not only into the Ukrainian war machine, but into the Ukrainian economy, using taxpayer cash to pay the salaries of almost 60,000 state employees, subsidize private businesses, and even buy seed and fertilizer for farmers. At the same time, NATO allies including Poland and Hungary complain their own farmers are being overwhelmed by Ukrainian produce being dumped on European markets.
Reporters discovered U.S. taxpayers are paying the salaries of all 57,000 first responders in Ukraine, and not only subsidizing businesses, but even helping them to secure new customers overseas via USAID.
Perhaps the most controversial discovery is the financial support for Ukrainian farmers, considering Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is currently lodging proceedings against several European Union neighbors who have banned imports of Ukrainian grain – without the EU’s permission.
Poland, one of the countries involved in this fledgling trade war, even halted military supplies to Ukraine amid the dispute. It had previously been one of Zelensky’s most important backers, supplying him with warplanes and over 300 tanks, and pushing other NATO members to offer similar assistance.
While non-military aid to Ukraine has already reached the tens of billions, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance to Hawaii following devastating wildfires currently stands at around $3.17 million.

A whistleblower has told the House of Representatives’ Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) effectively bribed researchers who said the Wuhan virus originated in a lab to change their opinion.
The whistleblower, described as a “highly credible senior-level CIA officer” by the House Oversight Committee, alleges that six of seven officers assigned to investigate the origins of COVID-19 initially concluded that it “likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China” – but they were “offered financial incentives… to change their conclusion in favor of a zoonotic origin.”
The committee chairmen – Reps. Wenstrup (R-OH) and Turner (R-OH) – have written to the CIA requesting that Andrew Makridis, the CIA’s former Chief Operating Officer (COO), submit to a “voluntary transcribed interview,” and asked for all documents and communications between state officials and the COVID Discovery Team.
“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the lone officer to believe COVID-19 originated through zoonosis. The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote the chairmen.
They are particularly interested in communications related to the team’s “pay history, to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive/financial bonus”.

Establishment politicos are grooming a ‘No Labels’ presidential candidate to disrupt the 2024 election and pave the way for Capitol Hill to parachute a neoliberal or neoconservative Commander-in-Chief into the White House, National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam recently revealed to Donald Trump Jr. on an episode of the latter’s Triggered podcast.
No Labels is a so-called “centrist” group headed by former Democrat fundraiser Nancy Jacobson, which may run Democrat lawmaker Joe Manchin as an alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump in 2024.
While some conservatives believe a Manchin run would peel votes from Biden, Kassam explained that Democrats and Republicans In Name Only – or “Conservatives Under National Terms” – believe he can also peel votes from Trump in key areas:
“What they’ll do is try to run people like Manchin in West Virginia, with the idea of pulling votes away from Trump, and they’ll do the same to Biden where it makes it so that neither of the candidates reach the 270 votes that they need to win the Electoral College,” Kassam warned.
This would allow the House of Representatives, which the Democrats expect to take back in 2024, to pick the President, and the Senate to pick the Vice President. This means Capitol Hill could not only dispose of Trump, but possibly get rid of the increasingly embarrassing Biden and his unpopular running mate, too,
“What do the No Labels people really care about the most? Is it the good of the American people? Or is it this amorphous idea of ‘rules-based global order’?” asked Kassam, stressing that their focus is “never the importance of the nation-state… it’s less America, more the world; less populism, more globalism.”
He predicted that escalating the Ukraine war and other neocon policies would be on the agenda early on under a Capitol Hill candidate – and this is reflected in No Labels’ manifesto, which speaks of being “prepared to fight a two-front war against Russia and China”.

Demonstrators demanding that Congress reauthorizes the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) – an international HIV/AIDS relief program – stormed the office of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday. Six of the activists who entered and then occupied the Speaker’s office were arrested by the Capitol Police. Their hands were bound with zip ties instead of handcuffs, a common practice used for mass arrests during political protests where the arrested individuals are booked on minor charges and promptly released.

Conservative commentator Byron York pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that the six arrested protestors could be charged, albeit unlikely, with several serious crimes including “1) Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; 2) Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; 3) Impeding Passage Through the Capitol Grounds or Buildings; 4) Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building…”.
The punishment for the charges vary, though each carries a maximum 6 months to a year in prison.
Protestors who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 have been handed sentences far in excess of those usually handed down for unlawful behavior in government buildings. Over 1,000 of the protestors present that day have been arrested, nearly 500 have received sentences, and 277 have been given prison time. The prison sentences have ranged from as little as 3 years to upwards of 20 years or more.

Editor of the National Pulse Raheem Kassam believes Ron DeSantis‘ 2024 presidential nominee campaign will go down in American history as an “historic clusterfuck,” after the Florida Governor’s campaign has completely failed to gain momentum and alienated swatches of voters.
Speaking to Donald Trump Jr on his “Triggered” podcast, Kassam explained that historians will likely see the campaign as “maybe the biggest fail in modern American political history given the great expectations.”
“I think probably the best way to describe it is an historic cluterf*ck, I think that’s probably as accurate as you can be with it.”
– Raheem Kassam, September 2023.
Kassam – perhaps the only political pundit to accurately predict how DeSantis’s campaign would go – also explained how he foresees the Florida Governor’s chief strategist Jeff Roe, selling off his ‘Axiom’ consulting firm after the presidential campaign.

Editor-in-chief of The National Pulse Raheem Kassam joined Donald Trump Jr. for a new episode of the Triggered podcast, telling the 45th President’s son it is time to retire the moniker “Republicans In Name Only” (RINOs) in favor of “Conservatives Under Notional Terms” (CUNTs).
“You know, people like to say ‘RINOs’… I have a different phrase that I like to use for them, I wonder if you can figure out the acronym: It’s ‘Conservatives Under Notional Terms’.”
Don Jr. was both amused and enthusiastic: “So much better. Can we just please replace ‘RINOS’ with Conservatives Under Notional Terms? It’s so much better, it’s so much better,” he said.
“I know there’s five percent of the people that have a problem with language, and I get it… but we’ve got bigger things to worry about. It’s much better phraseology for, essentially the same thing – the same thing with an exclamation point,” he added, comparing it to the involuntary rebrand of Jeb Bush as Jeb! in 2016.
Kassam, for his part, argued his terminology was simply “more accurate” for the people being described.
“They’re not rhinos, are they? They’re not big scary creatures that actually make a dent in anything and can chase anybody off. They’re frauds, they’re phoneys – they’re Conservatives Under Notional Terms.”

One of the chairmen of Ron DeSantis’s Super PAC ‘Never Back Down’ attempted to pass off a training certificate from the ‘Sizzler’ restaurant chain as a business degree when running for office in Iowa, The National Pulse can reveal.
Mark Chelgren, one of a number of controversial county chairmen for the DeSantis PAC in the Hawkeye State, is a former State Senator who was exposed as having burnished his resume by claiming to have a “degree” in business from Forbco Management – a now-defunct company that ran a Sizzler franchise.
“This was a management course he took when he worked for Sizzler, kind of like Hamburger University at McDonald’s,” admitted a spokesman for the Republican Party in Iowa at the time, confirming Chelgren got a “certificate” rather than a degree.
Chelgren, who approved the bogus biography, played dumb after the ruse came to light, suggesting he didn’t know “a degree and a certificate are different.”
His biography also claimed he “attended the University of California at Riverside majoring in astro-physics, geo-physics and mathematics,” and biographies elsewhere claimed he received a full degree from that institution. He later admitted he did not actually graduate from the University of California.
Chelgren exited the Iowa Senate in 2019, and failed to win reelection to the Iowa House in 2022. He is now the chairman of the Appanoose County, Iowa ‘Never Back Down’ operation.
