Adding that zte and huawei are required to turn over data and information that they collect to chinese intelligence. Fccs designation comes as beijing tightens control over hong kong, putting into effect a sweeping National Security law that completes beijings takeover of hong kong. Hong kongs leader, carrie lamb, supporting that takeover and the end of civil rights in hong kong. Prodemocracy groups say this is the end of the hong kong the world once knew. On monday secretary of state mike pompeo announced the United States is stopping the exports of defense equipment to hong kong. The state Department Also imposed the same restrictions on defense and dualuse technology. Last year the United States exported more than 75 million of military equipment to hong kong, most of which was in the form of engines and turbines, 3. 5 million though marked as tanks, artillery, missiles, rockets, guns and ammunition. Secretary pompeo said, quote we cannot risk these items falling into the hands of the Peoples Liberation army whose primary purpose is to uphold the dictatorship of the ccp by any means necessary. Formally designated huawei and zte as threats to National Security. His declaration a major step toward removing National Security threats from the United States. Joining us, the chairman of the federal Communications Commission, ajit pai. And, ajit, good to have you with us. Its been some time since we knew that both of these companies were turning over information that they gathered in the course of their normal businesses to the Peoples Liberation army, to chinese intelligence. Why this decision now . Well, thanks for having me on, lou. Unlike in commune nist china d communist china, we have the rule of law. The fcc proposed to ban the use of fcc funding being used by Telecom Carriers here in the United States on problematic equipment or services coming from carriers like huawei and zte. We initially proposed to designate them as National Security threats, but we wanted everyone to make their case. We heard from the executive branch, we heard from congress, other stakeholders, and we heard from huawei and zte. The overwhelming weight of the evidence suggested that huawei and zte would be National Security threats. Thats why we moved forward with a firm designation to plant a flag to say that going forward, starting on july 1st, tomorrow, that usf funding, funding overseen by the fcc, will not be allowed to be used by u. S. Telecom carriers on equipment or services from these two companies which do present a National Security threat to the United States. Lou is this effectively the beginning of pushing both of these companies out of the u. S. Market . Thats a good question. All i will say is that we are looking at, overa all, the security of our Communications Networks. Right now were talking about Communications Networks that are funded in part by the fcc. Last year we also opened up a conversation about whether we should broaden that prohibition, for equipment or services used by Networks Even if theyre nod not funded by the fcc. Weve been working with congress on socalled grip and replace legislation to remove problematic equipment. No heart what company it is no matter what company it is, if its compromising the United States communication networks, thats not allowable. We will not allow that to happen on our watch. Lou so huawei and zte are are g barred as well then from access to our, to the backbone of the internet, to our basic telecommunications infrastructure, is that correct . Thats correct. So what we found was that these two companies, huawei and zte, had ties to the Chinese Communist party, to the Chinese Military apparatus, the Peoples Liberation army. Ing in addition to that, they are only gated under chinese law, if they get a request from the intelligence services, the secret police, they must comply with it, and they are prohibited from disclosing the fact of that request to any of their customers. Especially if youre talking about small rural carriers in the United States, its not a risk that we believe is worth taking that could allow for all kinds of intrusion, the installation of back doors, the infection of our networks with malware, the theft of intellectual property. There are all kinds of risks that are simply not worth taking here in the United States, and i would argue, elsewhere in the world. Lou and, indeed, in terms of the rest of the world, ajit, where does europe stand . Where do our allies in the pacific and asia stand . Well, based on my own personal conversations with some of my foreign counterparts, weve gotten a good response from many of our allies around the world. Ive talked to folks from south america, europe and asia, and i think those conversations are starting to have traction. Singapore, for example, took a step with one of its major carriers to limit huawei use, installation of 5g equipment. Just yesterday the Indian Government banned 59 chinesebased mobile apps including tick doc from their tiktok altogether. The Chinese CommunistParty Presents a unique threat to Communications Networks, and here in the United States we are sending a signal that we are not going to tolerate that threat any longer. Lou thank you very much, we appreciate it. Ajit pai, chairman of the federal Communications Commission which today has changed the world a bit in going after both zte and huawei. Few leaders on the political right willing to stand up to the mob. Instead, theyre allowing the left to continue their support of the radical agenda. Last night the Democratic National committee took things past their normal guard withenvariety stupidity. In a tweet, the dnc took the official position that celebrating the fourth of july at Mount Rushmore is the equivalent of celebrating white supremacy. Did i mention were talking about the Democrat Party in party . The tweet has since been deleted but without explanation or apology to the president of the United States or the American People. And were not going to wait on that, are we . Members of the radical House Democrats today received a White House Briefing following New York Times reporting that russia had paid the taliban to cull our troops in afghanistan to kill our troops in afghanistan. Dependent on anonymous sources, the reporting was knocked down in todays intelligence briefing. President trump, the white house, the pentagon, the director of the National Intelligence all dismissing the New York Times report. And theyve denied that President Trump was ever briefedded on those charges. A conclusion that House Majority leader steny hoyer today seemed to agree with. I also agree with john bolton who said it was inconceivable, from his perspective, that there is not a cause for briefing on this matter of such importance. Apparently, that did not happen. I left the white house with the impression and the president has said he was not briefed. Leave it at that. Lou and leave it at that. The Democratic Party may do that, but it is not its typical course, is it . The Democrat Party has managed to destroy its already diminished credibility. They once again look inept and clownish in their efforts to still attack President Trump. Listen to them today as they struggle to withdraw from their assertions that President Trump had sat on information about russian bounties. Nothing in the briefing that we have received led me e to believe it is a hoax. There may be different judgments as to the level of credibility. As we look at these, and im going to call them allegations because i cant confirm or deny any underlying intelligence perhaps the president knows something, perhaps he doesnt know anything, perhaps he reacted a certain way, perhaps he doesnt or didnt. It just makes no sense at all. Lou no, the left make no sense at all. They look silly, clownish and, as usual, inept. The leftwing National Media kept playing the pink poodle to the sinister and silly radical dems today even as their absurd, fictional russian bounty narrative blew up in their faces. What is the deal with the democrats and russia . Dont they ever learn . So far they havent. Cnn and the New York Times both claiming unnamed sources to report that President Trump was briefed on those bounties. And the Associated Press made more claims without facts that john bolton had briefed the president as early as last year. All fake news, all lies. All as usual. Up next, the radical dems withdraw from their assertions on russian bounties while the rinos cant quite grasp that they will either win with this president , or they will lose and lose badly.

Lou breaking news now, the senates rino trio of mitt romney, Lindsey Graham and marco rubio have introduced together in hopes of reining in President Trumps ability to remove troops from germany. Romney saying, quote the withdrawal of u. S. Troops from germany would be a gift to russia, and thats the last thing we should be doing. End quote. This rino trinity clearly ignoring what the president said about the topic just last week. Were going to be reducing our forces in germany. Some will be coming home and some will be going to other places, but other places in europe. I think it sends a very strong signal to russia. Lou a strong signal to russia. The president also being called upon by many to move many of those troops to poland are which would actually put them in greater proximity to russia. If romney, rubio and graham are, again, clownish, and they didnt even explain how the president s plan to move our troops closer to russia would be a problem for us. I dont think that theyre doing too well at foreign, foreign policy. Joining us tonight, our guest says the New York Times has blood on their hands for even publishing the fictional russia bounty story. Hes congressman jim banks, member of the House Armed Services committee and active officer in the navy reserve who served in afghanistan. Congressman, great to have you with us. This is just more idiocy from the New York Times. At some point you would think they would become somewhat embarrassed by their unnamed sources and their propencety to report propensity to report absolute claptrap. You would think so, lou, but obviously not. This is a despicable hit piece by the New York Times published on friday with one clear intention, and thats to damage President Trump as we get closer to election day by rehashing the russiantrump collusion hoax narrative that the American People have grown so tired of. The democrats, on the other hand, they took the bait. They jumped the gun on friday, and its confusing as youve already mentioned to keep up with them. On friday they were attacking President Trump because he might have known about it, and he didnt do anything about it. Today they walked out of a briefing and theyre attacking him because he didnt know anything about it. Its confusing, its hard to keep up with, its despicable, and the American People have had enough of it. Lou yeah. Well, just keeping a straight, straightahead look at true north. The New York Times is a leftwing propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, the radical dems. They have given themselves over to pure nonsense. And, by the way, i dont and i, if i may disagree we you on this, i dont think the American People are confused at all. They know what a silly, inept lot these dems are right now. And, by the way, if they want to rehash, if they want to rehash the idiotic russian collusion story, i say bring it on. Do as much of it as you can, New York Times, washington post, abc, cbs, whomever. Because the American People realize that that was entirely a conspiracy to overthrow the president of the United States. It was spygate, it was an effort to stop his candidacy and then to overthrow him when he won the presidency. And they were as inept at that as they are everything else. Then they tried impeachment. Why not . Lets bring it back. I mean, let everybody just wallow e in what stupidness, you know, has enveloped the entire Democratic Party. Theyre a silly lot. I couldnt agree more, lou. This is the, this piece though in the New York Times on friday, the worst part of it is now the russians know what with with what we know. Maybe the intelligence was good, maybe it wasnt. We dont know that, and thats why the president was never briefed on it. The intelligence was never verified. The bad part about this is now our career intelligence officials in the field who are doing their jobs might not ever be able to find the truth because the russians would be if it were true, the russians are literally shredding the evidence. If its not true, the russians are laughing at us because once again they worked with the New York Times and the Democrat Party to sow discord in the United States of america. And thats whats despicable about it. For me personally, i served in afghanistan, did 50 vehicle convoy missions outside of the wire during the time that these bounties were allegedly in place. That means the bounty was on my head and that the democrats and the New York Times have prevented our Intelligence Community from doing their job to get the facts and track this down so that we can hold those responsible accountable is absolutely shameful. Lou yeah, it is shameful. And even if the intelligence is, you know, is what it appears to be, completely absurd, the idea that we wouldnt know what is being done and the idea that the taliban needs some further incentive to try to kill our soldiers . Does that not, as one who has served there, congressman, doesnt that seem a little silly to you, that the taliban needed a little boost from the russians to want to kill americans . And we might not ever know because a leaker went to the no, no, i just mean on the face of it. Youre right. They dont need more incentive. But we might not ever know the truth because the New York Times published a story on friday that revealed classified, Sensitive Information that was shared with them from a leaker. Thats whats so astonishingly wrong with this story. It was all a hit piece to attack the president , and im sick and tired of it. I want the leaker to be held accountable and the New York Times to be held accountable for that as well. Lou see, now you this is whats interesting. Was there a leaker . Because this is, again, unidentified sources, unnamed sources, anonymous sources. Who the hell knows who it was. It could have been any number of people. But what is troubling to me is three and a half years into this president s first term we still have leaks that can be this noxious and this, and this just, as you say, somewhat annoying. Congressman jim banks, as always, its great to have you here. We appreciate it. Thank you. If jim banks. Up next, why does the national leftwing media accept joe bidens bunker mentality that keeps him in his basement most of the time . Historian Victor Davis Hanson joins us next. Stay with us.

Lou breaking news now, a new rasmussen poll finds one in five democrats say joe biden has dementia. If my next guest has written about widens cognitive bidens cognitive decline as he sees it and bunker mentality, he says, is only delaying the inevitable. Joining us tonight is Victor Davis Hanson, a terrific, a brilliant historian, senior fellow in military history at the hoover institution, professor i emeritus of classics at california state university. Victor, great to have you with us. This is a strange time for the National Media in so many ways, their efforts to ignore what is obviously a bunker mentality on the part of biden and i emerging once every 85 days for a press conference and then, when he does, to make mincemeat and hash out of his verbal attempts at verb aral communication. Verbal communication. Yeah. Its going to be very interesting, lou, because a lot of us have said that the moment he emerged after this long sojourn, that it would be a reason why he shouldnt do it again. And in his first moments, what he said was youre a lying dog face. From that point on, i mean, he got the prompts confused where he was supposed not to tell the audience that he had preselected people that were to call on him, and he had long pauses, he had loss of stream of thought. And he should have stayed in the bunker because he was trying to frame, and his handlers were trying to frame this election in a very strange way. It was going to be donald trump versus the Media Version of the virus, the lockdown, the rioting and the looting. And as long as he was able to maintain that Media Version of those events, he had donald trump had gone down, and hed gone up. And then with a wink and a nod, he more or less said that his Vice President would be a woman of color. He said woman, but we think itll probably be a woman of color. And by association, that person will be the next president should he be elected, and that was going to pacify his base. And as long as he did that, he didnt have to sign on to debates, he didnt have to campaign, he didnt have to come out with an agenda that was contrary to trumps. He didnt have to circle the square of his views versus his hardleft likely vp , and then suddenly i think the pressure became so much that his handlers thought, you know, people are criticizing us, weve got to get him out. Well prep him really well, and it didnt work. The longer somebody that has cognitive impairment, the antidote is stimuli and getting out. Its not staying for weeks on end in seclusion, it makes it worse. And we saw that yesterday. Lou it is also, you wrote in the National Review about the politics of dementia, but there is another serious, very serious issue here that the leftwing National Media is ignoring. And that is if indeed he does have dementia and, certainly, there are troubling, troubling signs this is, this is abuse of the elderly, i mean, by any definition. It is abuse of someone who is impaired. And i dont hear a Single Person in the leftwing media, anyone in the Democratic Party saying what in the world is going on . This is an issue of humanity and humane treatment. Where in the world are the people who care for this man . Well, lou, remember how he got there. He had bombed out for the very reasons that you just outlined in january and february of this year. And then people they thought Bernie Sanders would be their socialist nominee, so they brought in mike bloomberg. He turned out to be a disaster, is and they had no one else, so they resurrected biden and more or less coerced buttigieg, klobuchar and warren to get out. They never really thought they avoided sanders, but they created a new position of a candidate that people had been worried about, their own vote ors, because he was cognitively impaired. To theyre back to square one, and this is highly ironic because in American History weve had Woodrow Wilson in a comatose state the last year of his presidency, we had fdr that everybody knew when he ran for a fourth term in 44 that his Vice President would shortly become president. They got him off the ticket, henry wallace, because they knew that he was, basically, a communist or a socialist, and they wanted harry truman. So weve been there before, and it doesnt end well. Its very ironic because remember, lou, just a year and a half ago the left and the media said that donald trump was cognitively impaired. There was no evidence. But he took the monterey cognitive assessment test. They had a yale psychiatrist, she testified before congress and said that he was, should be restrained. But none of that is happening now. Hes, biden said he takes tests, and he said he takes them frequently. All hed have to do what trump did and release the results or have the doctor or somebody like that from yale come back and examine him the way she did in absentia with donald trump. Lou it is extraordinary. Your judgment about the impact. Were reporting tonight on what is happening in three cities, seattle, port and new york city or portland and other cities around the country. More disruption, more civil unrest, more protests and demonstrations often turning violent. What will be the impact on the election, in your judgment, as we wrap up here . Well, yeah. The people, very quickly, they want it over with, and theyre going to do one or two things. Im talking about the swing voters and the independents in these key states. Theyre going to want it over, and if donald trump takes control, hes got a lot of people that dont want him to. Hes got the military thats his e about the, hes got the blue governors. But if he can get some federal indictments, cut off some federal funds, coerce these blue state governors to do their job, then theyll vote for him. And if he has a press conference hike he did with covid with barr, cucinelli, his National Security adviser and reassuring americans that today we did this, tomorrow its going to get better, hell win. If he doesnt, then the american swing voter will go into a fetal position, lou, and hell say make it all go away x hell come to the wrong conclusion and think that Biden Victory will pacify the left when, in fact, it will encourage em this. Thats the encourage them. Hes done a lot better the past two or three days. Keep quiet, stay calm, use a brilliant attorney general, get federal indictments. When the police act in seattle or when they act in washington to save a statue, these socalled courageous protesters and rioters and arsonists, they dispavement they dont go up in the dissipate. They dont go up in the hills as if theyre dwell las, they dwell las. When theyre met with force, they react accordingly, and its not very heroic e. So i think the police were exactly right. You do it today in seattle, why didnt we do it two or three weeks earlier, and the answer is that the blue state mayors and governors weaponized this issue of law and order because it was an election year, and the chaos they thought served their electoral purposes. Lou this president president is is always at his best when he does what he thinks is right and when he owns the high road like he has both, i think, in hand. If Victor Davis Hanson, always great to be talking with you. Come back soon. Up next, why do so many of the black lives matter demonstrators and protesters sometimes seem to be overwhelmingly white .

Share a message today at force dot uso dot org. Lou joining us tonight is bob woodson, former civil rights activist, he headed the National UrbanLeague Department of justice for five years. Hes the founder of the Woodson Center which helps residents in low income neighborhoods and is a great, great american. Bob, good to see you. Good to see you, lou. Ive got some, ive got so many questions for you tonight [laughter] i want to start with, first of all, the idea of these activists wanting to tear down so many abolitionist figures, people who contributed to the victory of the union army against the confederacy and who freed the slaves. For example, the emancipation statue. What in the world going on . I think you have to understand that white, young white kids are being misguided, and black, low income blacks are being misled. But the Democratic Party has surrendered to the left, and the left is using the pain and stain of slavery in america to, as a bludgeon to really undermine civic institutions in our society. And thats because and this is really a struggle for the soul of this nation because the country, lincoln was a symbol. Our monument is is the symbol of resumption, and the left does not believe in redemption. And slavery was, was a stain that black americans, and we moved beyond it, and we accomplished so much in rebuilding our nation. And is so what we are doing at the Woodson Center is we believe that the black american, low income blacks are being used to, as props to fulfill this false narrative. But we believe that low income blacks are the real sleeping giant, because they are the ones who are suffering the consequence of this false narrative, lou. It is their children lou let me ask you this that are dying in the streets. Lou as we watch this, often we see white, usually young white people in the streets at a black lives demonstration. And weve got corporations sending money to black lives matter, and it seems like its, its building. There just seems to be very i cant tell if black lives matter is now a black institution or if its a, an activist organization of some sort being used, if you will, for different purposes. Well, i think that the symbol of two white women this atlanta at the site of the man being shot by the white cops, the fact that these two white radical women burned down the wendys restaurant owned by a black man where where black people lived in the name of social justice for blacks, thats what they took over a target store in washington, d. C. , 80 young blacks and maybe 5 80 young whites and 5 blacks took over the store in the name of black liberation. If the mayor of washington had her home surrounded by a hundred young whites demanding a reduction in the funding for police. And, but just a few blocks away in wards seven and eight, low income blacks are dying as a consequence of police nullification. And its widespread throughout the country. The more the white left radicals demand reduction are of police and they become neutralized, the more the black on black deaths soar. We have more blacks killed by other blacks in one year than was killed in 50 years by the klan. There were about 4,000 blacks lynched by the klan in the period of 50 years, and blacks have a 9 11 if every six months. 23 children, lou, have died on our streets last year under the age of 10. But that does not provoke outrage and indignation from the left. But they do express indignation when evil has to wear a white face in order for us to be aroused and take action. And thats a false narrative that theyre using to try to dismiss and bring down this nation. It is and theyre promoting insurrection. Theyre using the rich legacy of the civil rights movement, using the moral authority and applying it for immoral purposes, using the tools of violence to promote insurrection and instability in our nation. But this is a fight for the soul of this nation. Lou if i may say go ahead. Lou rino republicans, if i may say, bob, are instead right now pandering to the black lives matter activists. The an anarchists. Theyre talking about, instead of solutions, theyre talking about surrendering. Lou standing up for exactly. Ill name names. John corps anybody cornyn, ron johnson, the list goes on. We have republicans standing up for nothing. The left, meanwhile, is in the streets, and they are spreading hate and lies and exploiting those who they want to pretend they are trying to help. Theyve been trying to help them for 60 years now, and dependency is their only offering. Its, its time for this country to understand we have a president whos done something about the condition of, and the standard of living of minorities in this country, and thats donald trump. Hes achieved the lowest Unemployment Rate for africanamericans in history. He also is getting very high approval numbers for a republican, i will say, upper 20 among africanamericans. Let me just say lou these are important numbers for the poll wells the street. But lou the last word. There are some great pharaohs. Greg kunis in wisconsin, they are standing with us, the pharaohs coming together with the josephs to reclaim this nation. And there is going to be a rebellion thats going to come from among those suffering the problem. Im hopeful, im optimistic, and i believe in this nation. Lou our thanks for being with us. Look forward to our next discussion next week. Bob woodson, thanks so much, and happy fourth of july. Stay with us, well be right stay with us, well be right back. Stay with us, well be right back.

Lou President Trump is benefiting from a surge in approval among likely black voters just in the period since george floyd was killed last month. On may 25th, the day floyd was killed, rasmussen had the president s approval among black voters at 22 . Thats strong. But the number was up 15 is points to 37 this past friday. And a new Trafalgar Group poll sunday President Trump leading joe biden in wisconsin by basically one point. The Trafalgar Groups owner is none other than pollster robert haley, correctly predicting the president s victory back in 2016. If later this week well be joined by an election forecaster who has an extraordinary record, and he believes President Trump is well on his way to reelection. Dont, dont miss him. Hes our mystery guest thursday. Former president barack obama is fundraising right now. He is raising money, ostensibly, to boost more mailin voting across the country. Mailin. Not absentee ballots. This comes as four men were charged with voter fraud in new jersey, two Democratic City Council members, two others associated with their campaigns by the state attorney general for stuffing ballots in mailboxes including in a neighboring town. No voter fraud the democrats say . Get the feeling they live off of it. Another big win today in the Supreme Court for religious freedom, supporters of School Choice and President Trump. The justices struck down a montana law that excluded religious schools from taxpayerfunded scholarships. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion in the 54 ruling. We are till trying to figure out we are still trying to figure out the chief justice. Well probably be at it for a while. Up next, will congressional rinos ever realize that supporting President Trump is the only way, the only way they can win at the polls . Jason chaffetz joins us here next.

Good to have you with us, jason. Thanks, lou. Lou lets start with the rino resistance the rearing its three heads today, at least symbolically in romney, rubio and graham. What are these people, what are they thinking theyre doing . Do they not remember 2018 and what happened to the house of representatives . I dont know. You dont win elections by being in the middle, through the politics of appeasement. You do it in principle, you fight on principle, and you do that in such a way so that you dont end up like john mccain running for president or number running for president. Or mitt romney. You have a leader in donald trump who has an America First agenda, its working, it was working, it will continue to work. Is and to try to jump off and, you know, leave the president out there by himself is not a formula to go out and win an election are. Lou yeah. Its mindless to me, and its always these rino who think theyre got a better answer. Graham is in the fight of his life in south carolina, the last poll i saw the actually, his opponent, i believe, was just slightly ahead. Were seeing the same thing. Your home state of utah where were seeing the, if you will, the establishment candidate is running behind a never trumper, for crying out loud, for the u. S. Senate. Hickenlooper in colorado is getting outflanked by more of a lefty, a progressive. Put a little smiley face face on that, progressive. Whats going on here . [laughter] yeah. Well, in colorado, i mean, hickenloopers been beset with all sorts of ethics charges, all kinds of weird shenanigans, taking helicopter rides, evidently, and doing these types of things. I dont really know where that goes. As far as our Gubernatorial Race tonight, weve got four quality candidates. Nobody really knows whos going to prevail in that race. They have tried to snuggle up to donald trump. Some of them doing it, i dont know how they can say it because i dont think they can actual pull it off, but theyve wanted to be closer to donald trump which i think actually a winning formula. More importantly, lou, in november ive got to tell you if you go off the rails and you decide that youve got your own agenda and its not in line with the donald trump trajectory, youre probably going to lose. Lou former Vice President joe biden today at a news conference, his first in i think 87 days . The questions he was asked, sort of extraordinary, but this very quick clip of him trying to figure out what the name of his hometown paper is in wilmington, delaware. All right. Where is, where is the wilmington, the Delaware State News . I mean, delaware newsroom, i should say . Thats my hometown team. I better call on them. Lou better call on them. Wow. Lou what do you make of this, this mom if knee and hey, that was lou his obvious problems . That was one of the toughest questions he had in that press conference was the question he asked himself, what was his hometown newspaper. He struggled to answer that and finally got it out after having to look at notes. Its kind of scary. I think the policy issue that came out glaring there this were going to have to remind people time and time again is he promised to raise taxes. And if he promises to raise taxes, believe him, because i think thats a what he and a Biden Administration would do. Itd be devastating to the economy. It would take us in the wrong, wrong, wrong direction. Lou yeah. And its, in my opinion, its even worse than that. He even intimated that he was going to be close going in in the last 68 weeks, i think this market, this economy would head south in a hurry. Its scary stuff, the fact that the national leftwing media cant keep up with that candidate and let him stay in the bunker week after week. Jason chaffetz, thanks for being here. Great to see you. Thanks so much. Thats it for us tonight. Tomorrow, Victor Davis Hanson, bob woodson among our guests. And a the bomb is more about ending the war but change in human history.
