The American public. | |
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| Which you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| It's Geopolitics 101. | ||
| It is 4 June, the Year of the Lord 2022, it is the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. | ||
| Jack Masovic, who's a Mandarin-speaking naval intelligence officer. | ||
| Before we talk about that, I want to get your assessment of Davos. | ||
| You were there. | ||
| You were arrested. | ||
| I shouldn't say arrested. | ||
| Detained. | ||
| You were detained. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Detained. | |
| You were detained in Davos and then you went to Geneva and you were tip of the spear. | ||
| with Norbin Laden and a team of others to make sure the world health how did the mindset from Switzerland and this will be worse than it's so beautiful it's so wealthy the lifestyle so great it's almost like a fairy tale it really is yeah it really is and in people live there and they they don't realize the rest totally disconnected from the rest the world I totally disagree. | ||
| I want to describe that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Davos is one of the prettiest, particularly in the winter. | |
| For me, it was jarring to go from Davos to Geneva, the epitome of wealth and elitism. | ||
| Zurich, we were driving around in Switzerland, and then go all the way down to Mykolaiv and the Kursan Highway of Ukraine, these war-torn areas. | ||
| And then realize though that when you're, you actually have to put it together. | ||
| You have to put it together because the wars are fought by the people on the ground. | ||
| The worlds are not, then the world, the people who suffer are the people that are caught in the crossfire. | ||
| But it's the elites of Geneva, the elites of Davos, we drove by the World Health Organization headquarters, the old League of Nations, Palace of Nations, we went by that, we went by the Wilsonian Palace, right? | ||
| Nothing ever happens to them. | ||
| They're not the ones who have families that are caught up in this. | ||
| They're not the ones who have to go through that hardscrabble existence and, oh, was there a shelling down the block this week, right? | ||
| They're not hitting any of that. | ||
| They don't have to worry about it. | ||
| But what they are doing, Steve, is they're making money off of all of this. | ||
| They're being enriched by these things. | ||
| Talk about that and tie it back to Davos, and Davos' perception of where they're taking the world. | ||
| I mean, Klaus Schwab could not be any more in your face about this. | ||
| What's so incredible about Davos, and yes, we did get detained, and everyone saw the video, you know, who are you, what are you doing here, MP5's out, dude's flagging me with his barrel, that means he's, you know, essentially crossing his barrel across me, so You know, one negligent discharge away from, you know, coming home like Swiss cheese, literally. | ||
| That, you know, we're in this situation and it's Ukraine all day long in Davos. | ||
| You know which word was never said once the entire time we were in Davos? | ||
| It was Taiwan. | ||
| The word Taiwan did not grace the lips of a single speaker. | ||
| There was no panel that was being held on this. | ||
| So I was sitting there trying to think, just from a geopolitical standpoint, well, if Ukraine is all about protecting democracy and defending freedom and defending our allies, okay. | ||
| But shouldn't we also say the same thing for Taiwan, then? | ||
| Because aren't they also in the same type of threat? | ||
| And they're not diminishing one. | ||
| Well, they're a real ally. | ||
| Ukraine's not an ally. | ||
| And that's where... Right, right, and so you have to play the devil's... I always do this thing where I play the devil's advocate if I try to actually get inside the logic of what it is that they're saying. | ||
| And then you start to unpack things, right, and you realize, wait a minute, no, this is about special interests, and there is a special interest involved in Ukraine, and that's our oligarchs, that's the oligarchs of Schwab and Davos, and there's a special interest group as well when it comes to Taiwan, and that's called the CCP. | ||
| So here's what's amazing, Steve, this is the way to look at it. | ||
| Russia and China are aligned on Ukraine, When it comes to the military alliance. | ||
| But, China and America are aligned economically through the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset, and the World Health Organization. | ||
| So really, it's the CCP that's benefiting on both ends. | ||
| Both sides. | ||
| They played this perfectly. | ||
| I want to go back to your theory that... They're using us! | ||
| They're using us! | ||
| Our elites... | ||
| This is what a tributary state does. | ||
| Go back to your theory of the case. | ||
| Your theory of the case has been not elite capture, elite merger. | ||
| While you're in Davos, given the situation in Ukraine, and more importantly to us, Taiwan, you're seeing perfect elite merger here, are you not? | ||
| CCP is all over the place. | ||
| Everywhere. | ||
| Not a single person from Taiwan. | ||
| Not a single delegation. | ||
| There was no Taiwan house. | ||
| There's no, you know, Taipei dinner where, you know, or President Tsai is coming out. | ||
| Any of it. | ||
| No. | ||
| Not even a little bit. | ||
| Meanwhile, it's Ukraine everywhere, Russia war crimes, right? | ||
| Those oligarchs are just strutting up and down, you know, they call it the promenade, the promenade of Davos. | ||
| As you go through, you've got your Facebook section up there, excuse me, it's meta now, so the metaverse is being held. | ||
| You have to talk to Tanya about her reaction to the metaverse when they told her your kids don't have to go to the zoo anymore and you can just strap them here. | ||
| So it was amazing looking at that, by the way, you know, strap these screens to your eyes for the rest of your life while you're sitting in in the Swiss Alps, one of the most beautiful places on the face of the earth. | ||
| And you realize that for them, it really just comes down to money and power. | ||
| You've got guys like Schwab, who, by the way, On paper, on paper, he's a nobody. | ||
| This guy's never done anything, he's never created anything, he's never run an organization. | ||
| You look into his background, and there's no resume. | ||
| There's nothing on this guy, right? | ||
| He was some engineer, and then he went into become a college professor, and now he's running the World Economic Forum out of nowhere, right? | ||
| This is all a façade. | ||
| It's a façade for special interests, it's a façade for the moneyed interests of the West, it's for the interests of the CCP, and the military interests of so many of the arms dealers that are going to be making money off of both these. | ||
| Because guess what? | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| If Taiwan goes kinetic, there's people who are going to be making money off that, too. | ||
| Okay, I want to go to this and talk about hybrid war, but Captain Finnell, who you work for, Or with in this legend and naval intelligence on this show one week ago today in the second hour Said they're they're doing a mobilization right now this the lockdowns have nothing to do with Kovat and number two I'm seeing reports out of China right now as well And I this is separate from Captain finnells assessment where people are saying they're seeing drills. They're seeing mobilizations. They're seeing military movements Okay, that's what I have not seen before Okay, that's what I'm talking about. | ||
| Give me some details. | ||
| So specifically, they're focusing on Fujian province. | ||
| Fujian province directly across from Taiwan. | ||
| You've got huge universities down there, beautiful universities. | ||
| Fujian is gorgeous, by the way. | ||
| I've been there in the past. | ||
| Fujian, this is where Xi's base of power was, he took it to Shanghai. | ||
| Fujian, all the Chinatowns throughout the world are from Fujian. | ||
| It is the area of China that has the great pirate community. | ||
| It's right there on the coast. | ||
| It's known as the great pirate community. | ||
| They are the gangster's gangsters in China. | ||
| Yeah, this is where, I mean, you've got, they used to have a, you know, the biggest gangster down there used to have this thing called the Red Mansion that was sort of a, it's a hearkening back to the, you know, the dream of the Red Mansion from ancient China, but it was this, the Red Mansion is where the CCP elite would go in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He built one. | |
| He built one of his own, where you'd go in. | ||
| Don't dream about it. | ||
| You'd get your, you know, you get your girls, and then you would get your, the deals would be done, right? | ||
| This is all going down in Fujian. | ||
| They're now seeing military being mobilized, sent directly into Fujian at levels that they haven't seen before. | ||
| You had that leak... And Fujian is the launch point for the invasion of Taiwan. | ||
| Well, it would be the launch point, so it's directly across... It would be like Dover going to Calais in WWII. | ||
| It's the most logical, closest point. | ||
| Well, I mean, you really would have to do it from there, because it's not even necessarily like Dover and Calais, which obviously, well, it wasn't Dover and Calais, it was Normandy. | ||
| They were head fake. | ||
| But you don't really have any other options, because Taiwan is just so close, right, because they sent Patton to... Well, it's 90 miles across. | ||
| 90 miles across Taiwan, the Taiwan Strait there. | ||
| That's nothing. | ||
| I've gone through the Taiwan Strait on naval ships, and on the Blue Ridge, actually, and you realize how small this is, right? | ||
| I went through on the Destroyer, not the Blue Ridge. | ||
| The Blue Ridge is the big comm ship. | ||
| Oh, that's right, they got the intel. | ||
| That's where the intel component would go, yeah. | ||
| It's all antennas. | ||
| Let me go, do you think, with Kevin Finnell, you have the 20th Party Congress, The 20th Party Congress this November, which essentially is going to designate Xi as emperor for life, unless these factions continue to be at each other's throats. | ||
| Do you believe that Xi moves before the 20th Party Congress or after, and if he moves before it's because he's so weak he knows he can't, doesn't have the vote in the 20th Party Congress? | ||
| Well, I laid my chips in a few months ago, back in a Newsweek column, where I said, I think she's got this. | ||
| I think that he's got it in the bag, he's got it wrapped up at this Congress, that he will be named, essentially, Chairman for Life. | ||
| Funny enough, who else other than our favorite Hungarian billionaire, George Soros, gives a keynote speech at a dinner at Davos, and he expressly comes out and disagrees with me, by saying that he does not think that she will be able to achieve his third term, that he will not be able to go further as the president of China. | ||
| That's the English title. It's chairman in Chinese and Mandarin. | ||
| And so he doesn't think, he thinks that these factions will be able to stop him. | ||
| And my, the way I look at it is this. | ||
| That, hold on, that was Soros saying that. | ||
| But if you look at it from another perspective, because Soros is up there and he understands from his perspective that the rise of the CCP is detrimental to the elites of the West. | ||
| Because he is smart enough to understand when he's losing power. | ||
| And he does realize that she is the one in the driver's seat that has become, right, he's not, in the elite merger, he's the senior partner. | ||
| The West is now the junior partner. | ||
| It wasn't supposed to be that way. | ||
| It was supposed to be the other way around. | ||
| But Charlie Munger and everybody else are looking at it as this great partnership. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| You're junior partner now. | ||
| So, I think that what could exacerbate the situation and lead directly to an actual kinetic confrontation over Taiwan would be if Xi Jinping was worried about not being able to receive that lifetime appointment. | ||
| Because remember, Steve, there hasn't been a lifetime chairman in the CCP since Chairman Mao. | ||
| It just hasn't existed since him. | ||
| So, you've had Deng Xiaoping, had it for about... even he wasn't even officially, you know, the title. | ||
| He didn't have the grip on the... he didn't have the title. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Plus, he ran it a different way, particularly the PLA. | ||
| But this is different. | ||
| This is where you have all power into one source. | ||
| Right, this is solid power. | ||
| And so, Deng understood that they had turned away from hard communism and have this sort of mixed system that they have now. | ||
| Introduce market reforms, but also have direct control over the military. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let a thousand flowers bloom. | |
| Well, that was flowers a little bit earlier, but... | ||
| When it comes to Taiwan, she knows that if he is threatened, that's what he'll go for, because he has ridden to power through the hyper-nationalists of China. | ||
| And to the hyper-nationalists, remember, they don't view Taiwan as a separate country, they don't view it as a sovereign nation, they don't view it as a functioning democracy, no. | ||
| They view it as a rogue province, one that had separated itself and Yes. | ||
| Unfinished business. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| When they needed currency. | ||
| They needed the gold and silver. | ||
| civil war yes because unfinished business was the unfinished business of Shanghai check this was his readout and where he took the treasury of Beijing with him when they need a kid and they need money in 1949 that they needed the gold and silver but they were taking R&D it wasn't they were going to go for Taiwan in 49 But remember, back then, CCP was junior partner to who? | ||
| The USSR. | ||
| And the USSR said, no, no, no. | ||
| We got a problem up here in Korea in 1950. | ||
| We need to send you up there. | ||
| So they sent the Red Army up to Korea to fight the Americans because the USSR didn't want to do it. | ||
| German Mao's son dies in that in that fight and that's the reason that well He said he will survive he also says people don't realize that we ever fought China before China We didn't fight the Koreans really fought some frozen Choson. | ||
| Yeah, we fought the Chinese came across and what people forget is that Mao it was the army of the coming time that flipped and Stabbed the Shanghai check in the back That's the army he sent to die. | ||
| That's the army he sent to die in Korea. | ||
| And it was brutal. | ||
| And his son with him. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back. | ||
| It starts in Tiananmen, right? | ||
| This whole fiasco starts in Tiananmen. | ||
| We're going to go back to the beginning, have Jack Posobiec walk us through the history of how we got here and how now we're looking down the barrel of a hybrid war that is very rapidly going to become, or could become, we believe it will become, A kinetic war. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to turn in the war room in just a moment. | ||

|
unidentified
|
We'll talk to Mike. | |
| It is the anniversary of Tiananmen. | ||
| And the people, you know, Lao-Bai-Zhang and of course the new federal state, of China and everybody that we're going to commemorate this with all day, these brave fighters of the expatriates from mainland China that are fighting the CCP every day as a transnational criminal organization. | ||
| Tiananmen is what they kind of go back to, right? | ||
| It's not that they've forgotten the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward and the Great Famine. | ||
| All that is seared into their memory as the Chinese have killed, what, the Chinese kind of squarely killed, what, 100 million And would not care if a couple hundred million died in a tactical nuclear exchange. | ||
| They just wouldn't. | ||
| Individuals don't matter. | ||
| When you look at the way they turned Shanghai into an open-air prison of starving 29 million people, and people saying, how can they do this? | ||
| And I turned around and said, this is the CCP. | ||
| Have you not been paying attention to any of their history whatsoever? | ||
| But how can the West and the Western media not? | ||
| It's the biggest story of the year, and literally crickets. | ||
| You know, every now and again, a Financial Times or Wall Street Journal thing about kind of the economics of it, but nothing about the human... Oh, the supply chain will be hit, you know, people aren't working in the factories, Elon Musk can't get his Teslas out online, you know, that might hurt the Twitter... You know, you're hearing about the economic and financial implications of it. | ||
| How about the people? | ||
| The people that are stuck in those apartment buildings that can't leave because you've got this, they call it the Big White, right? | ||
| So Big White is what they would call those masked and garbed medical... | ||
| Troops that come basically come that would come they called him big whites And so the big whites would come in and they would not let you leave your apartment building Starving if you were doing deliveries, right, you know You it was limited to what you could get in people are using drones to you know Try to do get fish out of the koi ponds and stuff like it was crazy insane level is the biggest strategic failure of our country Scowcroft Bush 41 sending Scowcroft over to see Deng Xiaoping 30 days after Tiananmen and telling hey, don't worry. We're | ||
| gonna make sure you don't collapse We're gonna have your back and fortify you because we need you as part of this This is the new or the new world order that of the bush talked about was let's let's let's unpack that for people because when when when people think about ten minutes where they think of course that the the famous tank man photo right that gentleman in the morning after the massacre who's standing there and it's not just one tank but it's a whole line of tanks you look at the zoomed out photo never got his name never know what He's whisked away at the end of the video. | ||
| But we've seen that, and that was the picture that launched so many freedom movements. | ||
| This is June of 89. | ||
| The wall's down in Berlin by November of 89. | ||
| By Thanksgiving, Christmastime, the wall's down. | ||
| Kind of triggered by this. | ||
| Absolutely triggered by that photo. | ||
| By the way, you show that photo to people in China today, they'll say, what is that? | ||
| They'll say, what are you talking about? | ||
| They've never seen it before. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because Google and everybody else censors it. | ||
| So, when you're looking at this situation, we know about the thousands of students who died. | ||
| A lot of people also don't realize, though, that when the- Tens of thousands throughout the country. | ||
| It's not just Tiananmen, right? | ||
| Yeah, they had uprisings all over. | ||
| Every city. | ||
| Every major city. | ||
| From Guangzhou to Shanghai. | ||
| The leadership cadre had a massive debate and fight internally to either put it down hard, Or try to roll with it. | ||
| And that's Deng Xiaoping. | ||
| At the head of that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He made the final decision. | ||
| We gotta shut it down. | ||
| And we don't care how brutal. | ||
| Li Peng, who was the butcher of Beijing, was the one who said, we need to go in, all the troops, all the tanks, everyone needs to see that we are in charge. | ||
| Because remember, Dungan, he was the reformer, he was the one who was going to be different, I'm not going to be like Mao, I'm not going to... But that was his final act, his final major act as the supreme leader there, the paramount leader of the CCP, was to authorize the Tiananmen Square. | ||
| And by the way, by the way, One of the people that he modeled this response after was actually the head of Tibet, many people don't realize this, who had done a similar act just a few months prior. | ||
| That guy, by the way, who had been the head of Tibet for the party, Hu Jintao. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Similar brutal crackdown. | ||
| And so we realized, look, this is what you have to do. | ||
| We have to show them who is in power, who is the regime. | ||
| So they send the tanks. | ||
| And what people don't realize, by the way, is that a couple of days prior to the actual massacre on June 2nd of 1989, The people in the suburbs of Beijing, the protesters, filled the streets and blocked the Red Army from getting into the center, because they knew what was going on. | ||
| So it was the Lao-Beijing that said, we're not going to let you do this. | ||
| What were they doing? | ||
| They brought people and military units from outside of Beijing in. | ||
| That was part of a discussion topic that night, that if we let that happen, if we let the Lao-Beijing in the suburbs determine where the Red Army goes, we have a problem. | ||
| We have a problem of control. | ||
| Because remember, at the time, they didn't have the economy. | ||
| They didn't have the economic Goodies to Tasha, because they hadn't let him in the World Trade Organization. | ||
| Right, and they knew that the Soviet Union was on its last legs, they knew that the party up north was falling, and they said, alright, what can we do? | ||
| And this is the key difference, Steve, is that in the Soviet Union, remember, when they tried, when the KGB tried to get the military to fire on the civilians, they refused. | ||
| In China, they didn't. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| PLA's totally in the grips. | ||
| Back in Washington. | ||
| So here's what happened. | ||
| They make a decision in Washington. | ||
| This is the great sellout of the Chinese people. | ||
| The great sellout of the Chinese people, which everybody misses from Tiananmen, is that it's not, it wasn't used for, because you would think, you would think if that were today, look at the response that we're giving to Russia over Ukraine, right? | ||
| The sanctions, we're cutting off relations, we're pulling back our ambassador. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Canceling the ballet, cancelling Carnegie Hall. | |
| If you're from Russia or Belarus, you can't play tennis at Wimbledon, etc. | ||
| You would think that that would be the kind of response the Tiananmen received, slaughtering tens of thousands of students and workers. | ||
| That's not. | ||
| They went to them with an economic deal. | ||
| And they said, you're going to be junior partner, we're going to be senior partner. | ||
| This is where the seeds of globalism were sown. | ||
| You do well, we'll give you Hong Kong back. | ||
| let you in the world trade or as soon as you clean your act up a little bit and take 10 years we're gonna let you in to take about a decade you do well we'll give you Hong Kong back we're gonna Hong Kong the whole whole things laid out I mean this is we want your slave labor slave labor and this is that this is the coal calculation of the Bush apparatus I would argue which was the on and product and people realize that Bush was the envoy to China prior to even ahead of the CIA was found before CIA that's why I get that's how his | ||
| qualifications got him as a Murray's a congressman he became ambassador to China and and then he became head of the CIA after that but this is the second time remember after at the end of the war where they're taking the brunt of the Japanese Imperial Army you have the civil war between coal mine time and the in the in the And the communists, who really hadn't fought, the communists went out of their way not to fight the Japanese. | ||
| Mao didn't want to fight the Japanese. | ||
| He said, let them take the fight. | ||
| We'll stay back here. | ||
| We did the Long March, and then we stayed out in the provinces, and they went out there, and then they agitated. | ||
| This was the rise of McCarthy. | ||
| McCarthy's the one that identified who lost China. | ||
| And who lost China was these liberal, progressive, communist, In the State Department. | ||
| Their mindset was the seeds of globalization. | ||
| They were just like the Bush guys, although one would say, oh, one's Republicans, the others are these liberal progressive Democrats. | ||
| No, they're all of the same sort, right? | ||
| And we sold out the Chinese people in 49. | ||
| We didn't have their back. | ||
| We turned them over to the communists. | ||
| Right? | ||
| When the Communist Party was so small, today, Jack, of 1.4 billion people, it's 90 million people and what, 5,000 really making the decisions? | ||
| It's less than 1%. | ||
| And the factions, the factions themselves, they dwarf They dwarf the Saudis in Qatar as far as wealth goes. | ||
| These families are of wealth. | ||
| That's where they put the announcement out the other day. | ||
| No more laundering money into the West because you don't give the United States any option to be shutting down stuff. | ||
| The biggest geopolitical mistake we have made since World War II, and we've made plenty of them, was not backing Lao Bajing and backing the regime in Beijing, the transnational criminal organization that Jack nailed it. We were going to make them the junior party. You're going to deliver the slave labor, we'll deliver the technology and capital. You'll hear people talk about, oh the CCP is so amazing. Look, they've been the ones to rise the Chinese people out of poverty. | ||
| They're the ones who have... but no, that's global capital. | ||
| That's your money. | ||
| That's the money that flowed out of the West, out of the United States. | ||
| That's your manufacturing. | ||
| Why do you think Shanghai looks like the way it does today? | ||
| Go look at Shanghai 30 years ago and look at it today. | ||
| And then go look at Detroit, go look at Baltimore, go look at Chicago, right? | ||
| You know the list. | ||
| That's where our money was going. | ||
| That's where your money was going. | ||
| It was going to rebuild and build up China and the CCP. | ||
| It wasn't the party that did that. | ||
| It was us. | ||
| This is what people need to understand. | ||
| But they thought that it was going to be senior partner, junior partner. | ||
| Now the partners have flipped. | ||
| Yeah, because they view everybody as a tributary state. | ||
|

|
That's why Xi went over to Davos... This is what it means in Chinese. | |
| The Central Kingdom. | ||
| That's what they call their country. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And this is the speech he gave at Davos in 2017, a couple days before... He laid it out. | ||
| He laid it out. | ||
| And by the way, they're all standing up, cheering him. | ||
| They love it. | ||
| It's that network. | ||
| All nations are going to go away. | ||
| You're going to have them as the real head of manufacturing. | ||
| Everything else is a network effect. | ||
| By the way, Xi didn't speak at Davos this year. | ||
| They didn't really send a delegation. | ||
| They said it's because of COVID. | ||
| Right, they said it's because of COVID, but you know what it was. | ||
| They're just staying in the background. | ||
| They're staying because they got what they want. | ||
| What do they need to go there for? | ||
| Well, they get ready to launch a war case. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to pick Jack Basobik's brain on, is the balloon going to go up? | ||
| And if the balloon goes up, can the historic 7th Fleet protect the South China Sea? | ||
| And can they protect Taiwan? | ||
| All next in the war room. | ||

Everything's just beginning But the games you want to play Bring it on and I will fight to the end Just watch and see It's all started Everything's begun And you are over Cause we're taking down the CCP Spread the word all through Hong Kong We will fight till they're all gone We rejoice when there's no more Let's take down the CCP | |
| War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, it's Geopolitics 101. | ||
| You have Mackinder about the World Island and who controls it. | ||
| Right now, the Chinese Communist Party are trying to do Mackinder 101. | ||
| You also have Mahan, which is the choke points in the naval bases. | ||
| They're trying to do that at the same time. | ||
| You have speakman which is controlling the rim the rim land of the Eurasian landmass and pushing off and they're trying to do that Too they're the only nation on earth people say well, they're not territorially aggressive It says the only nation on earth that's ever tried to combine all three major geopolitical strategies in one strategy in their run in the table on top of it They take the East India Company the way they did predatory capitalism and they tell her then just stretch geo strategically They've thought this thing through I don't realize that when we talk about the Uyghurs right | ||
| and we talk about Xinjiang, right? | ||
| That's that's not just because they you know, they hate the Uyghurs It's it's a calculation because if you look at the map Xinjiang is directly across from where? | ||
| Pakistan so they want to build that Pakistan economic corridor and And they want the railroads, they want pipelines, they want to be able to get through the mountains, right? | ||
| Because they want the oil from Saudi Arabia and Iran flowing across. | ||
| Because China has an energy problem. | ||
| That's a key resource that they lack. | ||
| Which, of course, obviously now they're going to be getting from Russia in great quantities. | ||
| But the Uyghurs are, in their way, blocking the path to Middle Eastern oil. | ||
| So what do they do? | ||
| They get rid of them. | ||
| That's the China model. | ||
| It's a calculation. | ||
| I want to show the cover of the People Magazine for Davos, the party of Davos, the globalists, is The Economist, and I recommend people subscribe to this and read it every week. | ||
| They had the coming food catastrophe with the wheat, as we showed you, and the heads of skulls, okay? | ||
| And then they had China's slowdown about Xi's calculations about COVID and shutting it down. | ||
| Jack, the Chinese, with all the economic problems they have, why would now, in the way they think geostrategically, why now Taiwan for a kinetic war? | ||
| Well, it's very interesting because I guess we really have to define what sort of kinetic war it would be, right? | ||
| And so when Vladimir Putin in February of 22 went all in in Ukraine and he called it his special military operation, I think that sped up the timetable for Taiwan and a lot of things. | ||
| I think it changes the calculus. | ||
| But you also have to look at the way that they've conducted this fight in Ukraine, and then you wonder if China's going to take a piece out of that. | ||
| And so, are we going to see the same type of full-scale World War II-style invasion like, you know, like the taking of Iwo Jima in Taiwan? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I think what would be more likely is because, remember, they don't want to just subjugate Taiwan. | ||
| They want to bring Taiwan into the fold. | ||
| They want to restore Taiwan to the mainland. | ||
| They're constantly talking about this. | ||
| They call it territorial integrity. | ||
| I think what you would see is a blockade. | ||
| I think you would say a blockade, a full-on embargo. | ||
| They would do everything they can, cut off air travel, cut off sea travel to the island, and then starve them out to the point where they would need negotiations. | ||
| I agree with you because I think they want to do it without firing a shot, and here's why. | ||
| They have a plan already to take 10 million of the guys, the worst guys, and put them into the mainland, and take another 10 million from the mainland and put them there for the chip manufacturers. | ||
| They're going to really integrate. | ||
| They want those semiconductors. | ||
| Because that gives them ultimate leverage over the West. | ||
| Once they have that, they got us, right? | ||
| By the stones, right? | ||
| But there's a big fifth column. | ||
| Remember, the politics and the democracy of Taiwan is 55-45, and Kuomintang, the old Nationalist Party, is pro-CCP. | ||
| They're pro-integration. | ||
| So the first thing that happens when the balloon goes up, and you know how the Chinese operate, you're going to have not just a fifth column, you're going to have a third of Taiwan that says, hey, hang over a second, foreign devils, right? | ||
| We are Chinese and we want to integrate back in. | ||
| This is not going to be somewhere, like in Ukraine, they were able to take whatever opposition they had, Zelensky was able to suppress that. | ||
| Well, and you look at it right. | ||
| You look at it because in a similar situation, it would be more of a civil war in a lot of respects than it would be from two completely separate systems. | ||
| That's the exact point. | ||
| That's what CCP wants to show. | ||
| Yes. The same language, shared history, shared culture. | ||
| I remember it's only been since 1949 that they've been separate, which and to the China mindset of looking at Chinese history of 5000 years going all the way back. | ||
| And keep in mind, now you have to reject as well. | ||
| China was not one country for all those times. | ||
| You had three kingdoms, you had warring kingdom periods, a variety of different empires. | ||
| Well, the early, early 20th century, after the last emperor, you had the warlords. | ||
| I mean, remember, when the centrifugal force, China in their mind is weak when the centrifugal forces break the country up, like for warlordism, right? | ||
| It's strong when you have a central command, and that's what Xi's trying, his China dream is the consolidation of all that power. | ||
| And look, Ube province, where Wuhan is, is 80 million people. | ||
| It's the size of France and the population of France. | ||
| Wuhan's 14 million. | ||
| Taiwan's only 20 million people. | ||
| So they really look at it not just as a province, but a relatively small province. | ||
| Now, an economic powerhouse, but a relatively small province. | ||
| That's why, in their mind, the way the CCP looks, we don't want to hear what foreign devils have to say. | ||
| That's China, right? | ||
| Just like Hong Kong's China. | ||
| And you're not going to stop us from mowing that back into the motherland. | ||
| And that's essentially it, right? | ||
| So you will have those people locally who say, well, you know, why shouldn't we be part of China? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| We are all part of China. | ||
| Well, I think, I say, I don't see a problem with that, personally. | ||
| But what I think, they should all be under the Republic of China. | ||
| Because, of course, the Taiwan government has never rescinded their claim to being the rightful government of all of mainland China, and Mongolia, by the way. | ||
| Because they were kicked out by the revolutionary forces of the CCP. | ||
| So yeah, you've got a government of China right there. | ||
| It's called the Republic of China. | ||
| Where do we stand with that? | ||
| Where do we stand? | ||
| We keep using the phrase, we're going to use it for the next 24 hours as we broadcast with Miles Guo and the team over at G-News. | ||
| The founding of the second anniversary of the new federal state on the anniversary of commemorating Tiananmen. | ||
| Where do you think we stand? | ||
| Is the Chinese Communist Party getting weaker because of COVID? | ||
| Are they getting weaker because of the economic situation? | ||
| You lived there. | ||
| You do this for a living. | ||
| You're a professional. | ||
| What's your professional assessment? | ||
| Well, you know, and this also, by the way, comes into the question of should Taiwan declare independence? | ||
| Because if Taiwan declares independence, that would also essentially mean that they're dropping their claim to be the legitimate government of all of China. | ||
| So it is kind of a give and take there. | ||
| When you look at the situation in terms of who's on the rise right now versus who's in decline, CCP or the United States or the West, I think the answer is quite obvious. | ||
| It's very obviously the West that's in decline right now and the CCP that's on the rise. | ||
| And if you don't understand that, then you really have not been paying attention. | ||
| Because they have been playing us like a fiddle since June 4th, 1989. | ||
| They've made every right move, and we've made every idiotic move. | ||
| And I hate to have to come into the war room and say this, Steve. | ||
| But we maybe should listen to Kissinger a little bit, the speech that he gave at Davos. | ||
| Talk about that. | ||
| And understand the sheer naked power of rapprochement. | ||
| Jack Posobiec became a fan of Ria Politique and Kissinger while he was over there. | ||
| It must have been when you were detained. | ||
| Tell me about Kissinger's speech. | ||
| Yeah, they re-educated me. | ||
| Well, Kissinger kind of said what the worm said. | ||
| You've got to make a deal. | ||
| You've got to deescalate. | ||
| You've got to make a deal. | ||
| This was Kissinger from the get, right? | ||
| Kissinger from the get was, we're never going to be able to defeat the Soviet Union through the Cold War by ourselves. | ||
| We need the bulwark of China and the Chinese people against them to swing against them and then be able to shut down the USSR. | ||
| So, remember, Kissinger goes to China first, then Nixon goes to China. | ||
| He made the secret ship, Joe and Lye. | ||
| That's what Kissinger is saying we should do now vis-a-vis China and Russia, but just do it in the opposite direction. | ||
| He said, look, you've got this whole situation out of balance here. | ||
| Remember, the United States is a sea power. | ||
| We are not the land power. | ||
| We're not even connected to the world island. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We are Athens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| We are Athens. | ||
| So what's best for Athens is to balance out the world island. | ||
| We can't control it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| We can't do it. | ||
| We would expend our entire wealth, our entire treasury, our entire blood. | ||
| And we've been trying to do that for 30 years now. | ||
| How's that worked out for us? | ||
| Doesn't work out. | ||
| What you should do is seek to balance the world island. | ||
| Russia, China, India, Europe. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Balance it out. | ||
| Balance them all in between. | ||
| And then we can have our best position. | ||
| Okay, since the end of the Second World War, we assisted in the Civil War in China in 1949, then the Korean War, then Vietnam, then the wars in the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan. | ||
| We have fought in the edges of the Eurasian landmass for almost 80 years. | ||
| Has that worked? | ||
| Has the Mahan strategy, plus trying to balance this around the Eurasian landmass, has it succeeded? | ||
| It hasn't succeeded at all. | ||
| I should amend my comments. | ||
| It succeeded very well if you're in the 1%. | ||
| If you're in the party of Davos, if you're a Davos class, it succeeded beyond your wildest dreams. | ||
| If you're the Lao-Beijing of America, if you're one of the regulars, if you're one of the plebs, You've seen the way that your cities, your towns, your communities have been absolutely gutted. | ||
| The standard of living for the average... Look, I just came back from two weeks in Europe. | ||
| The average European does not live like the average American. | ||
| They live better. | ||
| They live better than the average American now. | ||
| Their standard of living is higher. | ||
| Their crime is lower. | ||
| They don't see the insane levels of violent crime that we have. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Maybe with some of the refugee situations, but just the amount of day-to-day crime that we see in the US doesn't exist in Europe. | ||
| Not a thing. | ||
| We've got one more block, and I want to get your summary thoughts on that. | ||
| I've got some things to say, but I want to go now. | ||
| We've got a couple of minutes here. | ||
| I want to tell people about your making a film, correct? | ||
| You took a film crew with you? | ||
| We did, yeah. | ||
| On Thursday... Because we weren't doing enough. | ||
| Well, we had Charlie Kirk on Thursday. | ||
| Charlie was on The Morning Show and talked about The Great Reset. | ||
| Right, yes. | ||
| We're pushing that out hard. | ||
| What are you guys first trying to accomplish, and then how does this film fit in there? | ||
| So here's always been my theory of the case with this, that the Great Reset isn't something new. | ||
| It's actually something quite old, and it's called the CCP model. | ||
| And what it is, is the CCP model dressed up in terms that might be more acceptable or palatable to a Western audience. | ||
| But essentially, it's the idea of total control for medical, military, and financial. | ||
| Medical is key, by the way, and that's why we went to Geneva. | ||
| We went to the World Health Organization. | ||
| We sat down with Norbin Laden. | ||
| We talked about this pandemic treaty. | ||
| And I did, I happened to catch that interview with Charlie, and Charlie and I did an interview as well. | ||
| He talked about the amendments failed at Geneva this time around. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| But the pandemic treaty is coming by 2024. | ||
| Brownson Institute has essentially said that that's what the WHO is looking at for their target date for this treaty, right? | ||
| The idea is that these transnational organizations like the WHO, like the World Economic Forum, they're going to be the ones in the driver's seat. | ||
| They are going to be the technocratic controllers of our system the same way that the CCP is the technocratic controllers of their system. | ||
| I saw this when I was in China 15 years ago, right? | ||
| They learned you want to build a maglev train, you want to build a high-speed rail, you've got people in the way, you've got historic buildings, you've got Uyghurs in the way, get rid of them. | ||
| This is what Tom Friedman fell in love with. | ||
| He had that column. | ||
| This is the administrative state and state capitalism, okay? | ||
| They call it the authoritarian model, and this is what the elites in our country... They call it state capitalism, now World Economic Forum comes out with stakeholder capitalism. | ||
| Stakeholder capitalism. | ||
| Right, it's the exact same phrases, it's the exact same models, they'll come up with things like Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back with some summary thoughts. | ||
| It's Geopolitics 101. | ||
| Remember, there are tectonic plate shifts going on in the world, but here's one thing to keep in mind. | ||
| Russians serve for a Chinese peasant, you will own nothing, and they will be the ones in control. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. We're gonna come back with some summary thoughts. It's Geopolitics 101. | ||
| Remember, there are tectonic plate shifts going on in the world, but here's one thing to keep in mind. | ||
| The sideshow to the sideshow is in Ukraine. | ||
| The main thing, and you always have to keep the main thing in mind, the main thing is the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| They're coming rolling for Silicon Valley West. | ||
| Silicon Valley West would be Taiwan. | ||
| I don't know if they're going to shoot their way in, but somehow they're going to get control of it. | ||
| They are bound and determined. | ||
| Take a short commercial break on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, the massacre on Tiananmen Square. | ||
| We'll be back in the room in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bring it on and now we'll fight to the end. | |
| Just watch and see. | ||
| It's all started. | ||
| Everything's begun. | ||
| And you are over. | ||
| Cause we're taking down the CCP! | ||
| Spread the word all through Hong Kong. | ||
| We will fight till they're all gone. | ||
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
| Let's take down the CCP! | ||

| Okay, we're back. | ||
| Remember, in 1989, the really beginning of the fall of the Berlin Wall started in the middle of Beijing, at Tiananmen Square, right outside the Imperial City. | ||
| There you had, really, I think, Jack, the roots of entrepreneurial capitalism had taken the Chinese people to the next level, and they said, now we want freedom, we want democracy, and freedom would go with that. | ||
| And, uh, they were massacred in Tiananmen, and it's a seminal event that doesn't get enough coverage, and here's why. | ||
| The CCP never wants to talk about it in the West Cowtowns. | ||
| Where's the movie on Tiananmen Square? | ||
| Where's the, uh, where's the Netflix 10-piece series? | ||
| Where's the, uh, CNN coming down? | ||
| Oh, we're gonna do our retrospective. | ||
| You had, you had Chernobyl, and they said Chernobyl, basically the film Chernobyl, the 8 to 5, which is a masterpiece. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| It's a, it's a, it's a masterpiece. | ||
| I've seen that, and I've... | ||
| Only watch classic movies. | ||
| I've seen that like five times. | ||
| But they make the case that that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. | ||
| 8.6 reckons? | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Not great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Where is the Chernobyl about Tiananmen Square? | ||
| It would be amazing. | ||
| They will not allow it to happen. | ||
| The CCP's got that much control over Hollywood. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| They barely let the Taiwan flag be shown in the new Top Gun movie. | ||
| They were so proud. | ||
| They were so proud when they put it back on. | ||
| So why'd you take it off in the first place? | ||
| You speak Mandarin. | ||
| In fact, I want you to leave the show today. | ||
| I want you to close the show in Mandarin. | ||
| But give us your thoughts about Tiananmen. | ||
| What's the lessons of Tiananmen Square today as we're staring down the barrel of a gun on this transnational criminal organization that wants to roll up the Silicon Valley West? | ||
| Here's the thing, right, is that we've seen, since the events of Tiananmen Square, have Western governments become more open or have they become more authoritarian? | ||
| Since the events of Tiananmen Square, I argue that the elites of the West have become more like China. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they saw the CCP use raw, naked power against their own domestic citizens and they help them get away with it. | ||
| And the minute that you allowed that intoxicating function to be able to cross that line to say, maybe we can allow a regime to use this type of force against their own citizens, Remember, this wasn't just, you know, arresting a couple Antifa guys in Washington, D.C. | ||
| No. | ||
| This was raw military forces being used on their own citizens. | ||
| You've now seen, and you look at the truckers in Canada, you look at France, the gilets jaunes, you've seen the way that police have responded to various, right, and whenever it's like an actual people's uprising in the U.S. | ||
| versus allowing the BLM and Antifa riots to flourish throughout the country, You realize that something is going wrong in our governments and it's because they're following this model. | ||
| So you need to go through and you need to take out anybody, right? | ||
| Politically get them out of office, impeach them, put them in the unemployment line if anyone is getting closer to China, getting closer to the CCP when it comes to these types of issues. | ||
| We've become less free since the investment. | ||
| Well, they're aping the model of the CCP. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| The administrative state, which is just the bureaucracy of China from time immemorial, right? | ||
| It's the Confucian bureaucracy, which is the administrative state of China. | ||
| The mandarins. | ||
| The mandarins, with state capitalism. | ||
| That's what they're trying to do here. | ||
| We have the social credit score. | ||
| Real quickly, what should be the tells that people should look for? | ||
| We do the show, but what should be the tells? | ||
| You're saying right now, people you trust are confirming what Fennell's saying, that they're seeing mobilization or exercises that lead one to believe that something different is going to happen. | ||
| What would be the tells here? | ||
| Keep in mind, of course, that it could be that they want us to see these types of mobilizations, but that being said, A naval blockade of Taiwan could happen overnight, right? | ||
| This is something that they're, you know, they say, oh, we're about to hold this exercise in the East China Sea, and then boom, you wake up and they're all in place. | ||
| This is something, because Taiwan is so close, and I, you know, go look at a map of where Taiwan is, and go look at the Chinese naval bases right around it, right? | ||
| Taiwan only exists and is only able to function because of the West having enveloped it in this essential shield, which Joe Biden has played games with, right? | ||
| He's playing all of these games saying, well, we're going to support, then we won't support, then the White House, he says something, then the White House comes out and has to correct him, right? | ||
| They could set this up, Steve, overnight and we would see nothing. | ||
| We would see, they conduct exercises regularly in the East China Sea with enough forces to enact a serious blockade of Taiwan. | ||
| They're fifth-generation fighters. | ||
| By the way, all of the new Top Gun movie is all about fifth-generation fighters. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| They've got them. | ||
| We don't, right? | ||
| So they have the ability to essentially declare a blockade and then have it done within minutes. | ||
| I want to close this out with you addressing our massive Chinese audience in Mandarin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You Chinese people abroad, you should know that we support you. | |
| We are Americans who support freedom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we also support your freedom, the freedom of the Chinese, the freedom of the people, and the freedom of the Taiwanese. | |
| We support you. | ||
| So we support the freedom of the Chinese people, we support the freedom of the people of Taiwan, and we support the freedom of the Lao-Beijing. | ||
| Do you think that, how realistic, in your mind, because I believe that we're going to take down the Chinese Communist Party and we're going to do it in the not-too-distant future, how much, what probability do you put on that as a naval intelligence officer? | ||
| Well, with this current administration in the US, this regime, right, they're joined at the hip. | ||
| But if you have real political change in the United States, if you get new leadership in there, if you get people who actually say, you know what, we're going to take the Lighthizer model of tariffs, of decoupling, of actually using economic leverage against China, Then you drain the coffers of the CCP and they will fall. | ||
| And I remember that we used to have a President of the United States... I remember that guy. | ||
| ...who seemed to make that as a priority of his. | ||
| It'd be interesting if that guy wants to come around again. | ||
| Okay, real quickly. | ||
