WATCH: We Have Boots on the Ground in Ukraine Already, Raheem Kassam Explains.

National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, who was present in Kiev during the Western-backed Euromaidan coup in 2014 that set the stage for the current full-scale war in Ukraine, believes there are already NATO “boots on the ground.”

Speaking to War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, he said people should not be surprised to hear U.S., British, and other Western specialists could be helping Ukrainian forces strike targets inside Russia with specialist missile systems, despite Moscow warning it would regard this as an “act of war.”

“The [Maidan] coup itself was an act of war, and here’s why that’s important: because if they were willing to do that, then there is nothing that they’re not willing to do. They already overthrew a government,” Kassam stressed.

“[W]hen you talk about boots on the ground, and we try to bring that up as a conversation point with establishment people… they kind of scoff at it, as in, like, ‘Yeah, dude, that’s already been happening, this wouldn’t be a new development.”

NO OVERSIGHT, NO LESSONS LEARNED.

“In my estimation, by my sourcing,” it is “absolutely the case” that Western personnel are already assisting the Ukrainians, Kassam said.

“Listen, there’s been no proper congressional oversight over this since day one,” Kassam continued, lambasting Congress for failing to properly interrogate and subpoena the likes of Victoria Nuland.

The National Pulse previously reported on the establishment of a dozen Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) spy bases near the Russo-Ukrainian border starting at least a decade ago.

“I thought the lesson was learned. I thought Iraq, Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, the interventions in Libya, in Syria, I thought when they had Hillary Clinton up there, in a post-Benghazi world, that there had been some lessons learned. Clearly not. Clearly nobody is interested in getting to the bottom of how this has occurred,” Kassam lamented.

WATCH: Kassam Explains UK Election, Farage Decision.

National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam explained Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s surprise decision to call a British general election for July 4 on Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room, citing Britain’s infamously dire weather alongside the governing Conservative Party’s equally dire record in office.

While the Conservatives could have postponed the election until as late as January 2025, Kassam noted “a lot more rot” could set in by then, setting the stage for an even more devastating loss. He cited sky-high immigration — the record-breaking net influx for 2022 was revised upwards by almost 20,000 to 764,000 just this morning — as well as inflation, coronavirus-era lockdowns, “lots of LGBTQ stuff,” and “lots of hate speech stuff,” which has alienated the party’s core voters.

“I think they realize politically things can only get worse for them, not necessarily better,” Kassam said, adding that a later election would also detract from their ground game, which increasingly depends on elderly activists who suffer in poor weather.

NO TV, NO RADIO.

“Remember, British elections do not have television advertising; there’s no radio advertising. They really rely on the foot soldiers, knocking on doors, delivering leaflets, speaking to voters face to face, and when you are a predominantly older… political party, you really don’t want to send people out there in the cold, and the wet, and the wind,” Kassam explained.

“It sounds parochial. It is parochial. [But] that is a major decision when it comes to when and how you hold an election in the United Kingdom.”

Even in May, the rain was drenching Sunak as he was announcing the snap election, with Kassam observing he “looked washed out and washed up” — and would likely look similar on July 5.

WATCH:

THINGS CAN ONLY GET WORSE. 

Bannon questioned Kassam on the state of populism in the United Kingdom, which appeared to be in the ascendant following the Brexit referendum. Kassam said Sunak had likely called an early election in part to stop Reform, formerly the Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage, from organizing and “tear[ing] chunks out of the Conservative vote.”

Farage has already said he will not stand in the election, preferring to focus on helping Donald Trump reclaim the White House. Kassam, speaking to Bannon before Farage made the announcement, had advised him to take this course of action, believing he has a better chance of becoming Prime Minister once Labour returns to government and quickly disillusions the public.

“I was sitting on the balcony of County Hall in London behind [former Conservative leader and Prime Minister] David Cameron… when he announced the Conservative manifesto for the year 2010,” Kassam recalled.

“You can see me in the background … [T]he time for change after 13 years of Labour governance had truly come, and we really genuinely believed that something different was around the corner… Something different wasn’t around the corner,” he said.

The “neoliberal oligarchy” soon reasserted itself post-Labour, with the Conservatives “govern[ing] to the left” in coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

He lamented how this neoliberal oligarchy has presided over “abject poverty,” particularly “outside of London,” with neighborhoods “completely dilapidated” while the likes of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, “a representative of the one percent of the one percent,” claims the economy is “going gangbusters.”

Kassam had harsh words for Conservative premiers since 2010, including Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, and David Cameron, saying he “wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire, quite frankly.” However, he predicts a restored Labour government — Sir Keir Starmer’s leftist party is projected to win on July 4 by a landslide — will be even worse, as while the Conservatives constantly offer sops to the left, Labour will be “throwing sops to the far left ”

Kassam said Americans should familiarize themselves with Labour shadow government members who are currently obscure but may soon be in office opposing a restored Donald Trump administration, such as Labour deputy leader Angela Raynors and shadow foreign minister David Lammy.

WATCH: Kassam Warns Ukraine Will Be ‘First African Nation in Europe’ After Post-War Replacement Migration.

National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam has warned a mass replacement of Ukraine’s hollowed-out population with Third World migrants is looming. “Ukraine, what’s the plan for the future of Ukraine? Because, clearly, the plan isn’t to keep young Ukrainian men alive to rebuild the nation after all of this is done,” Kassam said while co-hosting the War Room with Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon.

“There’s nothing left. So, who do you think they intend to import into Ukraine to rebuild the country? If I can put it so bluntly, Ukraine will be the first African nation in Europe in 10 to 15 years’ time if this thing continues the way it is. They are going to mass import… They’ve got a base for mass migration like you’ve never seen before, and they’ve got a ‘moral imperative’ for it as well: ‘We have to rebuild! Of course! We need all these people! Bring ’em in, they’re academics and doctors,’ and so forth,” he explained.

Bannon concurred, comparing it to the way U.S. open borders advocates claim “the illegal alien invasion is what’s keeping the economy even going.”

The United Nations (UN) estimates that 5,872,700 Ukrainians are in other European countries, with 358,300 elsewhere. The country’s population is estimated to be between 33 and 35 million, but this includes people in regions already incorporated into the Russian Federation, with Crimea alone having a population estimated at around 2.5 million. The Ukrainian government has already expressed fear that its refugees will never return.

THE BRITISH PRECEDENT. 

The need for outside help with post-war reconstruction was used to usher in the accelerating mass migration era in the United Kingdom, which was still 99.9 percent white and overwhelmingly British and Irish as recently as 1951. Open borders advocates claimed black nurses from the Caribbean, in particular, were the backbone of the newly established National Health Service (NHS) in the post-war period to justify the current policy of issuing over a million visas every year, mostly to migrants who are not coming for work.

In fact, claims that immigration was essential to Britain’s post-war reconstruction are largely mythical. In 1961, out of a total of 55,000, only around 6,365 immigrant student nurses were in the NHS, and not all were Caribbean.

Substantial net emigration from Britain, particularly to the former colonies of Australia, Canada, the United States, and America, occurred throughout the post-war decades, suggesting there was not really a pressing need for foreigners to fill out the economy. Migration overall is currently a drag on Britain’s economy and infrastructure.

Soros Outlet Credits The National Pulse With RINO Charlie Spies’s RNC Ouster.

The George Soros-funded left-wing nonprofit Media Matters for America is crediting The National Pulse with the ouster of anti-Trump lawyer Charlie Spies from his role with the Republican National Committee (RNC). Media Matters notes that a series of articles published by The National Pulse detailing concerns over Spies’s previous employment with the Ron DeSantis and Jeb Bush presidential campaigns played a critical role in pushing Spies out the door at the RNC.

“Several other key figures in MAGA media also targeted Spies, in part because of his unwillingness to claim that the 2020 election was stolen and for his past work with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who unsuccessfully challenged Trump in the Republican presidential primary,” Media Matters writes. They add, citing reporting by The National Pulse: “Spies has also worked for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and other establishment Republicans figures.”

“The National Pulse, whose founder and editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam is a close Bannon ally, began attacking Spies immediately after his hiring,” Media Matters states, adding: “A March 12 headline referred to Spies as a ‘Jeb, DeSantis campaign lawyer who attacked Trump.’ In the ‘Editor’s Notes’ section at the bottom of the story, Kassam commented, ‘This is really fucking bad, guys.'”

The left-wing group highlights Kassam’s appearance on Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room, where The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief reported that Spies is a close personal friend of infamous Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias. Kassam explained how RNC staffers like Spies assisted Elias by “being a walkover,” “backchanneling information,” and “being a feckless tool that just sort of sits in position and doesn’t do anything.”

Prior to taking the RNC role, Spies had ridiculed former President Donald J. Trump‘s pledge to build a border wall and referred to the former President as “thin-skinned.” The night before Joe Biden‘s inauguration, Spies posted on X (formerly Twitter) a performative “congratulations” to the octogenarian Democrat.

KASSAM: ‘It’s Been 2 Years Since Jeff Clark Was Raided by Feds, And They Still Won’t Explain Why.’

National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has slammed the Biden regime for its treatment of Jeff Clark, former Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General under Donald Trump, during a wide-ranging discussion with War Room host Steve Bannon.

“I spent the weekend speaking in New York with Jeff Clark, the former Acting Attorney General, whose house was raided two years ago, whose devices were seized, and he still hasn’t even had some of them back,” Kassam said.

“He still hasn’t had the affidavit that shows why they raided the house, that shows what was in the warrant and what was the framework, the background, the undergirding, of the warrant,” he revealed.

He also revealed nobody in Congress — including the members of Jim Jordan’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government — has helped Clark find answers to these questions.

“You are, ladies and gentlemen, living in a police state today,” Kassam warned the War Room audience. “And it brings me to another point… the RNC and RNC legal counsel should be filing lawsuits every single day on these matters, and, for year upon year now, they have done absolutely nothing,” he stressed.

“In fact, in some instances they have been actually helping the Democrat Party; they have been helping their friends like Marc Elias; they have been assisting in taking America away from safe and secure elections” and enshrining the “phony, fake” mail-in ballot system that delivered Joe Biden his supposed victory in 2020.

ELIAS’S SPIES. 

Elias, a Democrat election lawyer sanctioned for violating ethics rules in a suit on behalf of Democrats’ Senate and congressional campaign committees in 2021, is a personal friend of Charlie Spies. Spies has only just been ousted as RNC legal counsel. Kassam argues RNC staffers like Spies assisted Elias by “being a walkover,” “by backchanneling information,” and “by being a feckless tool that just sort of sits in position and doesn’t do anything.”

The fact Spies was ever in such a senior position at the RNC speaks to the GOP’s ongoing issues with fifth columnists under Trump’s leadership. Spies called for the Federal Election Committee (FEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Trump in 2016, congratulated Biden on his official victory in 2020, and has repeatedly refused to characterize the 2020 election as “stolen” — leaving him poorly placed to advance the former president’s election integrity agenda.

WATCH: Why Trump, Bannon, & Navarro Represent the Greatest Threat to the Liberal Establishment.

Conservative leaders with experience with the Democratic Party, like Donald Trump, former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon, and former Trump admin official Peter Navarro, are the greatest threat to the political establishment because they have seen it from the inside, argues National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.

“People like yourself, and Donald Trump, and Peter Navarro represent the most critical threats to the political establishment, the political order in the Western world today,” Kassam told Bannon on War Room.

“At some point in your lives you all either came from Democrat-voting families or were Democrats and Democrat donors. That is what they fear the most, and that is why Peter Navarro is locked up right now,” he continued.

Navarro, 74, has been imprisoned by a leftist judge for Contempt of Congress. He declined to comply with House Democrats’ demands during their sham investigation into the January 6 protests.

“[Navarro] poses a threat like very few Republicans on Capitol Hill, if any, frankly, pose a threat. He’s seen it from the inside out and he walked away. He said, ‘To Hell with you guys, you’re selling this country down the river, you’re selling this country overseas,'” Kassam explained.

The National Pulse chief had stern words for Jim Jordan’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. He asked why it is so comparatively weak in going after the establishment that jailed Navarro.

“Riddle me this… Why hasn’t a penny been spent? Why hasn’t a subpoena been issued?” Kassam asked. “You even had The New York Times this morning have a report on [January 6] and how the National Guard failed to be deployed… [G]uess what The New York Times found four years after the fact? That it wasn’t Donald Trump… It actually was the establishment, the status quo, the bureaucrats, who stopped the National Guard being deployed so that the Capitol could be overrun so that they could have their television moments,” he said.

PERSONNEL. 

Kassam seemed frustrated it took The New York Times to detail the story — covered by The National Pulse from various angles for years — where the likes of the Weaponization Committee have failed.

He expressed similar issues with the Republican National Committee (RNC), which has been rehiring staffers fired after Ronna McDaniel’s ouster. It previously made missteps such as hiring Charlie Spies, a former Jeb Bush lawyer with a history of attacking Trump. He is also a personal friend of Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias.

“It really bears reporting on how the Charlie Spies thing went down… It’s very important that people understand just how swampy that whole process was, and how much certain people tried to cling on to Charlie Spies,” Kassam said.

“Again, despite his friendship with Marc Elias. Despite his refusal to call 2020 stolen. Despite the fact he tried to have the FEC and the DOJ investigate Donald Trump back in 2016… We will be doing further reporting on that, I’m afraid it will upset some people,” he warned.

WATCH: Kassam Links Met Gala Theme to Controversial ‘Camp of the Saints.’

National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam compared yesterday’s scenes at the Met Gala, a gathering of elites surrounded by far-left and foreign-heritage activists protesting violently over a foreign war, to “the opening scene from The Camp of the Saints,” Jean Raspail’s 1974 novel about a “tidal wave” of third-world migration destroying Western civilization.

Discussing the Met Gala with Stephen K. Bannon, who described the gathering as “a freakshow beyond freakshows,” Kassam explained how the theme of the gala, organized by Vogue and editor Anna Wintour, was J.G. Ballard’s short story The Garden of Time.

“When they announced that J.G. Ballard’s The Garden of Time was supposed to be the theme… I decided to read that,” Kassam said. “It’s effectively about a horde of heaving and swearing masses that descend on this Mozart-playing Palladian villa where this Count and Countess are living out the last days of their lives.”

This, Kassam said, was the “perfect analogy” for Monday’s events, with the elites gathered together at the gala and pro-Palestinian protestors fighting with the police outside.

“It reminds you of the opening scene from The Camp of the Saints… with the barbarians just blocks away at Columbia University,” he said.

BARBARIAN HORDES BEARING DOWN.

“The barbarians are tearing down the walls and the bike racks in front of the Met… I thought to myself, either this is really based from Anna Wintour, or just the most monumental series of coincidences that has led us to the point where the theme of the Met Gala is effectively the barbarian hordes bearing down on the people who are trying to cling on to power, and to cling on to their existence, and to cling on to their civilization [as it is] falling through the gaps in their fingers,” Kassam continued.

All in all, Kassam said, it was “a horrible event,” and one which “really showed you the shallowness” of the people involved, given most people read The Garden of Time and they just dressed up as flowers.”

KASSAM: ‘Most RNC Staffers Believe Joe Biden Is Legitimate President.’

The Republican National Convention (RNC) is still infested with staffers who regard Joe Biden as a legitimate, fairly-elected president, and many of the people culled after Ronna McDaniel’s ouster have now been rehired, reveals National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.

“Let me be very clear about it, the majority of RNC staffers do not believe that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. Let me repeat that, in case I was unclear: the majority of RNC staffers do not believe Joe Biden was an illegitimate president,” Kassam told War Room host Steve Bannon during a wide-ranging discussion on the state of the GOP.

“RNC staffers… I could tell you some stories… sickening stories,” Kassam said. These stories, he explained, would make America First conservatives sick to their stomachs “about the types of people that the RNC has hired and, by the way, the types of people that the RNC is still hiring under this new regime.”

“We will have more reporting on this to come, but if they want a war on this, we will give them a bloody war on this,” Kassam pledged.

“I don’t like to fall out with people on supposedly my own team, but it seems to have to happen every so often, right? It’s that old Godfather phrase, it has to happen every five or ten years, gets rid of the bad blood. So, let’s get rid of some bad blood. That was supposed to be what this exercise in cleaning the RNC was about. That was what Michael Whatley and Lara Trump were supposed to be doing,” he continued.

BACK IN THE FOLD.

“I can report to you that the people who were fired inside the RNC when that new regime took over, a significant percentage of them, I’m talking about 70 percent-plus, have been rehired,” he said. ” This is unacceptable; this is pulling the wool over people’s eyes, and it doesn’t lead us anywhere closer to a secured victory for President Donald J. Trump on November 5th of this year. It doesn’t advance the football.”

Kassam stressed, in particular, the case of the recently departed RNC legal counsel Charlie Spies, a Jeb Bush, and Ron DeSantis campaign lawyer hired in March despite a history of legitimizing Joe Biden’s election, calling for Trump to be investigated by the federal authorities, and mocking the idea of a border wall.

“If you think I’m joking about coming for you next, try me,” Kassam said of the RNC staffers in his crosshairs after Spies was fired by Trump.

Kassam told the RNC to expect The National Pulse will be vetting them “staffer by staffer” and asking them questions: “Was Trump 2020 stolen? Is Joe Biden a legitimate president? What are you doing working at the RNC if you believe that Joe Biden was freely and fairly elected?”

“It’s time, if the new team isn’t really going to start clearing house, then I’m going to start clearing house,” he vowed.

In terms of who should be brought inside the tent, Kassam has analyzed a list of three possible replacements for Spies — and suggests hiring all of them might be the best course of action.

WATCH: Kassam Explains How Mike Johnson’s Israel-Gaza Intervention ‘Snatches Defeat From the Jaws of Victory.’

Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, says Speaker Mike Johnson is doing the donor class’s bidding by drawing fire away from Joe Biden amid the ongoing crisis on college campuses. Speaking to Steve Bannon on War Room, Kassam argued special interests were a more plausible explanation than mere stupidity.

“The Democrat Party is tearing itself in half over this issue. You simply do not interfere and intervene when your enemy is making a mistake. That was Napoleon’s comment at Waterloo; it remains true to this day,” Kassam explained.

“What he’s doing right now is purely for his donors,” Kassam argued.

“Kevin McCarthy had a thing where he was pledging not to spend money against his own political opponents in his own party. Staying out of the primaries, all of that stuff,” he continued.

“Mike Johnson is not beholden to that pledge, and I bet you somebody has told him, ‘Hey, all these people going after you? Marjorie Taylor Greene, all this stuff? We’ll put in money for their opponents if you go up there and do our bidding on Columbia college campus.'”

If this is untrue, Kassam added, “Let’s hear him deny it.”

SHOOTING TRUMP IN THE FOOT.

Speaking on the campus crisis, Kassam reminded the audience it is “a situation where the White House, remember, has been sending emissaries into Arab and Muslim neighborhoods in the United States, and they are getting shunned and shoved out of these neighborhoods, creating this political nightmare, disaster for Joe Biden and his foreign policy apparatus.”

Currently, the ire of students and faculty is aimed almost exclusively at Biden. However, Johnson inserting himself into the issue only gives the impression that “the GOP, and by extension, in their minds… Trump must have something to do with this, too.”

“He’s taking an issue where the Democrats have been shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, and he is now using that weapon to shoot the rest of us in the foot,” Kassam stressed. He said “abject, abject foolishness” could explain Johnson’s behavior. However, he does not buy this: “I don’t believe he’s that stupid. I think he’s been put up to this.”

The most likely culprits, he suggested, were Never Trump and Uniparty figures in the GOP who do not want a second Trump administration.

Additionally, Kassam contrasted Johnson’s behavior with Trump’s politically astute decision to drive a wedge between Biden and voters who are both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian, emphasizing Biden hates them both.
