This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve cortes
Patriots, let's talk about the Biden-China grift, because Joe Biden doesn't always use a family member as a middleman to collect massive amounts of money from China.
In this case, he uses Penn.
The prestigious Ivy League school happens to be the alma mater of President Trump.
The Chinese Communist Party donated an amazing $70 million to Penn, specifically to the Biden Center at Penn, much of it it gave after he had announced his candidacy for the presidency.
Penn, in turn, has paid $775,000 to Joe Biden for two years of supposedly being a professor, only he didn't teach a course, and according to the student newspaper, he was only seen four times per year on campus.
If you want to stop this kind of swampy grift, I need you to text TRUMP to 88022.
steve bannon
Okay. It is Tuesday, 10 January in the year of our Lord, 2023. You would think, because now it's becoming hot in the news, that Cortez, even being ahead of it, maybe Cortez made that last night.
We're going to have him on the show today.
He's going to follow Natalie Winters about the investigation we've been having going on on this.
You would be incorrect. I'm going to bring in Steve Cortez.
That is from, I believe, sir, two years ago.
Am I not correct? Two years ago when Steve Cortez was on this?
steve cortes
October of 2020, correct.
At the Trump campaign.
steve bannon
Over two years ago. Over two years ago.
steve cortes
And it was very hard at that time, by the way, to get that information.
I was able to source it. And by the way, I was actually undershooting on the numbers.
We now know the numbers are actually even higher in terms of both the donations from the Chinese Communist Party and the amount Joe Biden was paid.
It's actually a little closer to $1 million.
But I was certainly right directionally on what was going on, and I was trying to reveal that as best I could to the country, that this grift- Go ahead.
steve bannon
It's more than – here's the right.
I just want to make sure we put it in the timeframe.
Is that that was in the Ron Petit election.
That was also when the New York Post, through the good offices of the war room, right, and Rudy Giuliani and Bob Costello and these heroes, Bernie Kerik, that we finally got the laptop from hell published in the New York Post.
Steve Cortez came up there. Let's not get into the comm side of the 2020 campaign.
You know my opinion of that, about how this wasn't bigger.
But it's obvious it was also suppressed, no matter if it was a great effort or a terrible effort or not focused.
This was absolutely suppressed by the mainstream media.
Now, I want the mainstream media, just like Mika, Morning Mika and Morning Joe, or Morning Mika and your side piece, the airhead side piece from the University of Alabama, Joe Scarborough.
Mika, we're in day 73 of the crisis in Brazil, not the second day when you guys find it, just like this. Think about that cold open.
Think about that chalk talk.
It was literally like it was done last night to kind of go, hey, CNN, this is what they should really be looking at, the University of Pennsylvania, although they don't want to talk about that.
They want to suppress that.
This is from before Election Day, and it's not grift.
This is the Chinese Communist Party.
Own these people. What have we been saying from day one?
If you connect a laptop from hell and CEF and all the Chinese corporations on the One Belt, One Road, because CEF was a capital markets allocator, Not just an energy company, a capital markets allocator.
And they knew that if you take everything on the laptop from hell and you add it to what Cortez and Natalie Warner has been all over on the taking of Chinese Communist Party money to basically finance Joe Biden's lifestyle.
Right? And then you add West Exec Boulevard, the consulting firm, a blinking in these guys, all the guys in the White House today, all of them, all paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, so afraid of it they took it off their website.
The Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated this administration up to his neck, and Joe Biden's sitting there with SCI, compartmented information, top secret, ten files.
And we don't hear about it to date.
You know why we heard about it?
Is it random? There's no coincidences, ladies and gentlemen.
No coincidences. The very day that we take over and Comer is now in charge and Jordan's got the weaponization of government and all of a sudden this mysteriously appears.
This mysteriously appears.
Screw you! You've sold this country out.
You are traitors. You've taken, by the way, As big a problem I have with people that are traitors, ideologically, if you have some different belief and you get like the woman that just came out in Cuba, she was a communist and she was in, I think, the State Department or DIA and she was ratting people out.
But she never took any money.
She's a hardcore ideologue.
As bad as that is and as much as they should walk to the gallows on that, I got less of a problem than people that do it for money.
People that do it for money.
Let me be blunt.
The Biden administration is owned and paid for.
Why are they sitting down there kissing Lula's ass in Brazil?
Because Juanchi Sean's down there.
Juanchi Sean's down there.
In the mainstream media, Morning Mika, don't give me your, don't give me the big salt tears.
Tell me what's going on.
Where's the money? Joe Biden has committed a felony, a hard-fact crime.
He's got top-secret compartmented information over there at his offices at the University of Pennsylvania in D.C., okay? And it's been paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
That he has no ability, and Kash Patel is going to be here, he has zero ability to declassify, zero.
Only the Commander-in-Chief, only the President of the United States.
That would be Donald J. Trump.
You sent the jackboots down to Mar-a-Lago.
Garland, why weren't you on a microphone on the afternoon of the second, which is not when you found it?
That's a lie, which we'll find out.
That's a lie. Why were you not in front of the banks of the things talking about?
You're always up there. Oh, you know, we really got the task force that's all over the CCP, and you're rolling up some assistant professor at the University of Iowa that's got some corn.
He's got some GMO corn thing he's stolen.
Screw you! You're not doing no more performance art.
This is why they're so terrified.
This is why Jamie Raskin is going, this thing's got too much investigative power.
You're damn right it's got investigative power.
You have sold this nation out.
I've got to tell you, play that thing again.
This is from two years ago.
This is from October 2020, and you've got to ask the question, where in the hell was the campaign on this?
Okay, but they were up against They were up against the New York Post.
Even Murdoch was up against the suppressionists.
So where's the New York Times?
Where's the Washington Post?
CNN? All of you guys are indicted in this.
You're covering up for the Chinese Communist Party owning this administration.
How much money has Joe Biden taken for his crimes?
Okay. How much money has Hunter taken?
How much money is the brother taken?
Anthony Blinken. And here's the other thing.
Did you ever, you know, Blinken and these guys had to be confirmed by the Senate.
I don't actually remember Mitch McConnell and these guys grilling these guys on West the Secondary of this.
Why is that? Would it happen to be Mitch McConnell's asset wife of the Chinese Communist Party, the money Mitch McConnell's taken?
This entire administrative state is swimming in Chinese Communist Party cash.
Why do you think they sanctioned me?
What do you think I was doing with the administration?
In the book by the guy at the Washington Post, he said, hey, you got this group called the Superhawks.
They don't believe the Chinese Communist Party is a legitimate government of China.
They believe it's a criminal organization.
And just like the mafia and just like the Mexican cartels, which, by the way, they're in business with, They're spreading money all over the place.
Blinken's taking it. All the guys on the staff took it.
Biden's taking it. Biden's son's taking it.
His brother's taking it. University of Pennsylvania's taking it.
By the way, the money you took came off the slave labor of China.
That's Lao Ba Jing's money.
You stole the money from the people of China.
You see the Apple factory where they're all running to get out of there to pay like a buck a month?
You got the highest suicide rates from the young girls that can't take it anymore?
You got the sexual harassment.
You got all of it. That's where the money's coming from.
It's from the people of China been stolen by a gangster government that's now in business with the Biden regime.
That's what this thing is.
And they're sitting there going, they're going to try to narrow it down to tiny little questions.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is a black letter felony.
It's highly classified compartmented information.
Let's play this thing again from Cortez.
steve cortes
Patriots, let's talk about the Biden-China griff, because Joe Biden doesn't always use a family member as a middleman to collect massive amounts of money from China.
In this case, he uses Penn.
The prestigious Ivy League school happens to be the alma mater of President Trump.
The Chinese Communist Party donated an amazing $70 million to Penn.
Specifically to the Biden Center at Penn, much of it it gave after he had announced his candidacy for the presidency.
Penn, in turn, has paid $775,000 to Joe Biden for two years of supposedly being a professor, only he didn't teach a course, and according to the student newspaper, he was only seen four times per year on campus.
If you want to stop this kind of swampy grift, I need you to text TRUMP to 88022.
steve bannon
Cortez, tell me what the issue is here.
That's not the typical lobbyist's grift.
How dangerous is this and how serious is this, sir?
steve cortes
It's far more insidious and dangerous, I would argue even existentially dangerous to the United States, that we have a commander-in-chief who is totally compromised by the most dangerous enemy in the world of the United States and the most dangerous enemy of freedom anywhere in the world, the Chinese Communist Party.
Because you're right, Steve, it's not just a typical grip, which we unfortunately somewhat expect from politicians.
Now, Joe Biden engaged in plenty of that sort of typical kind of grip.
For example, his son had a no-show, high-paying job at Credit Card Delaware Bank MBNA. He participated in that sort of regular grift.
But then he took it to an entirely other level once he became the vice president of the United States, accepting tens of millions of dollars from the most dangerous enemies of the United States, Principally Beijing, but not only Beijing, also Moscow.
Let's not forget about that. So the two most dangerous enemies in the world to the United States, Russia and China, both of them pouring tens of millions of dollars into the coffers of the Biden family, which essentially operated as a cartel.
I really refer to it as the Biden cartel rather than a family, with Hunter Biden as the bag man.
And he is incidental. It's all about the big guy, Joe Biden.
And in this case, he used pen, he used An Ivy League school, formerly august institution of learning, a place that was founded by Benjamin Franklin, which unfortunately completely sullied its reputation to act as essentially a money laundering operation, to accept the dirty money of the Chinese Communist Party and then give a healthy portion of that out to Joe Biden and others of his lackeys, including, you mentioned, Tony Blinken.
By the way, one other point here aside from Biden specifically, It's insane that it is legal for any university in America to accept money from communist China.
Number one, okay, that should be absolutely illegal.
That should be forbidden immediately.
But specific to this case with Joe Biden, what is crystal clear from the mountain of evidence that just continues to grow, the Chinese Communist Party successfully co-opted much of the ruling class of the United States, unfortunately, but specifically Joe Biden.
And they correctly, unfortunately, identified and corrupted the Biden family and the Biden cartel in anticipation of him eventually becoming president of the United States, the office he now holds.
So it can't be more consequential.
You can't really exaggerate how important this is.
And I think had that message that I was making there in that chalk talk, that's one of my earliest chalk talks in October of 2020, had that message gotten out to more Americans, I'm very convinced that even with all the cheating that happened in the 2020 election, we would have overwhelmed even the cheating and in fact prevailed in the fall of 2020 had the truth been fully known.
steve bannon
What do you want to see now in this Congress?
You've been deeply involved in this.
What do you want to see on the investigative side about this line of inquiry specifically?
Because I'm telling you right now, this is going to be a big part of the impeachment process of Joe Biden.
What do you want to see, sir? Absolutely.
steve cortes
And listen, Jim Jordan, thankfully, I think is the right man being in charge of the Church Style Committee, which is going to investigate all of the abuses of the intelligence community.
And the reason that is directly connected to this is that we know, of course, that the laptop from hell, which you and Rudy Giuliani and other patriots thankfully revealed to the world, we know That the FBI had that computer, had the laptop from hell, and all the damning information that it included well in advance, almost a year in advance of it being publicly revealed.
So the truth of who had that knowledge, exactly why all of that knowledge was hidden from the American people, that truth must be revealed to the American people.
And I think it will be by Jim Jordan.
And I think, listen, eventually, I think there are so many different avenues to impeachment.
To me, the first one is going to be regarding the border, but I think this is probably going to be a very important secondary avenue for impeachment for people like Tony Blinken, for people like FBI Director Wray, and ultimately, yes, for the President of the United States himself, for Joe Biden. Steve, can you hang on for one second?
steve bannon
I just want to bring you back quick on the other side.
We've got other stuff to get to, and I hope to get it to today.
Short break, Cortez.
I've got Ben Honroll. Big breaking news on this trial in Pensacola about immigration.
We had Benzman. We're going to get him back tonight.
He couldn't hold. We've got Cash Patel.
We're locked and loaded here in the war room.
Just give us a second.
Short break. Back in a moment. We rejoice when there's no more.
unidentified
Let's take down the CCP. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code WAROOM. We got the inventory sale still going on.
You also get the toppers, the sheets, the pillows, all of it.
You got to buy one, get one's free.
Sales all over the place.
Too many to mention. But if you want to sleep, the sleep of the Justin.
By the way, all the polling showing, the number one thing people want is peace of mind.
And the way they get peace of mind is a good night's sleep.
You've got to get the products of MyPillow.
MyPillow.com, promo code WAROOM. Go check out our square right now.
You will be blown away. By the scale, breadth, and depth of the product offerings and the sales.
Remember, he's been kicked out of big box, off of the shopping channels, all of it.
He's passing those massive discounts on to you.
So go check it out today. Cortez, we got other stuff, in particular on football, I want to get to tomorrow.
And by the way, McCarthy, and this is all about We were on different sides of that, right?
We believe the cartel head had to go, but they got the package they got.
It's now all about delivering.
He has, it looks like, as of last night, delivered on Shifty Shift, Swalwell, and Omar are going to be stripped of their committee assignments or at least be stripped of anything that requires a security clearance.
unidentified
Is that correct? That's correct, and adios.
steve cortes
Couldn't happen to a better trio than all three of them.
Look, this is power politics, and it is so refreshing because for far too long, Steve, when it comes to political fights, we on the right have showed up and agreed to sort of Marcus of Queensberry rules and sort of fought fair, while the left shows up with a rusty shiv that it sticks into our gut, okay?
So it is about time that we use political power in an important and potent way.
And that's what we're seeing right here.
They took the left, the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, took Marjorie Taylor Greene off committees without any real justification, okay? Now we are going to, in turn, take some of their most radical members off committees with justification, because all three of them have very serious flaws in their background, dishonesty as well as security risks, reasons that they should be removed.
But this is exactly the kind of approach That we need to take on the right.
It is time for us to use power swiftly and effectively when the voters hand us that mandate.
And I love this kind of power politics and hope we see a lot more of it in the coming days and weeks.
steve bannon
People understand this. The House Intel is incredibly powerful.
It takes a high security clearance.
In the skiff where they ran the Star Chamber, that's where they ran the Star Chamber, House Intel, trying to get to the Trump thing in this bogus Russiagate thing.
It was the two chief inquisition was run because Trey Gowdy – remember, Paul Ryan pulled Nunez off it, said he had a conflict of interest.
Because he had come over and talked to us a couple days in the administration.
This is Paul Ryan. He put that SAP, Trey Gowdy.
Trey Gowdy was so incompetent.
I had the two best lawyers in D.C., Spyro and Bill Burke.
Bill Burke turns to me and says, is that guy a lawyer?
And I said, yeah, he thinks he's a big-time lawyer.
Trey Gowdy was so incompetent.
They allowed that star chamber to be run by Swalwell and Schiff.
And Swalwell is going to get kicked off of here because he's compromised by, wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party.
He had a Chinese Communist Party asset that he had a special relationship with, a young female.
Swalwell gone, Shifty Shift gone, Omar gone.
Omar ought to be thrown off the committee and then she ought to be deported immediately.
Got to deport her because she violated immigration laws.
Steve, how do people get to you on the substack?
I'm going to have you back on tomorrow. We've got capital markets to talk about.
And by the way, talking about China and their numbers, but also I want to get you back on about this football situation.
So where can people get to you?
steve cortes
You bet. And in advance, folks can read my article, which is linked to my Twitter bio.
On Twitter, I'm at CortezSteveCortez with an S. Please find me there.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve. Okay, thank you very much.
steve bannon
By the way, I think I found a theme for the show today.
We're going to go to the Vatican.
We're going to talk about this. The Daily Mail's got this story now about a revolt inside the Curia, or there's a group of cardinals that may be trying to overthrow.
Francis, because he's too radical.
And we're going to see, Ben Harnwell's got his own ideas, so let's go to Ben Harnwell.
But at the basis of a lot of this, and a lot of the traditionalists, it's not simply the line of the belief, right, of the traditionalists versus these kind of secular progressives that are now in charge of the church.
Some of the deep-sea things go back to the way the church is run, and particularly deals made with the Chinese Communist Party.
Remember, under Pope Francis, they have a secret deal.
They have a secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party that has essentially turned over the church, the underground church in China, to bishops approved by the Chinese Communist Party.
They don't give that power to anybody.
They don't even have the laity have any say-so in the bishops at all.
They have a secret deal.
That was put together by McCarrick, the worst human on earth, right, who was eventually thrown out of the priesthood.
He was so bad. He was the American pope.
They put together a secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party that we still don't know the details of, and they just re-upped it.
And this is what Cardinal Zen, one of the holiest guys in the world, who's been kind of the patriarch of this underground Catholic church, right, that kind of was like in Eastern Europe was...
was, you know, the backbone of our belief in these tortured lands.
You know, they got him on trial and he flew over at 90 years old.
He caught a plane over just to have a talk with the guy.
The guy wouldn't even meet with him. This gets back to the Chinese Communist Party is everywhere and here's why.
They're looking to become a global hegemon and spread communism everywhere and their vision of atheistic Marxism.
They're not communists per se.
They're the richest. The families who run the Chinese Communist Party are the wealthiest families on earth.
Let me repeat that. The wealthiest families on earth.
Okay? And they got partners in the Mullahs in Tehran.
They got Lula in Brazil, right?
They've got our allies, our great allies in the House of Saud.
You're cutting deals with them.
And not just that. Here's the deviousness of the Saudis.
It's the take that all transactions converted into U.S. dollars.
It's the reason we're the prime reserve currency.
It's the reason we can even try to keep the madness going that we've got going right now.
They're trying to get us off.
They're working with the Chinese to get off the petrodollar.
They're going to convert it into a Chinese currency.
That's how devious they are.
And that's all Wan Shishan, the strategist of Xi, doing it.
Wan Shishan is the guy that helped put together this deal with McCarrick, the deal that turns over.
Remember, Xi tells everybody.
He says, I'm not afraid of the Pacific Fleet.
I'm not afraid of the American military.
I'm not afraid of the U.S. government.
I'm afraid of...
The thing I'm afraid of...
is evangelical Christianity and traditional Catholics that are in China.
They're absolutely petrified.
They tell people this all the time. They believe the combination of Catholics, underground Catholics, and the evangelicals are 100 million Christians, practicing Christians, 100 million practicing Christians.
In China. Let me give a note to the United States.
Because over there you're tortured and you're thrown in a camp if they catch you're practicing Christianity.
Okay? Ask all the Christians to come out of there.
There are more truly practicing Christians in mainland China today than in the United States of America.
Let me repeat that. There are more truly practicing Christians and Catholics combined in China.
Underground than there are in the United States of America.
That's how robust the faith is there.
When it's being persecuted worse than the persecutions in first century Rome.
Ben Harnwell, this story in the Daily, this story's getting to get some traction now.
What is going on? Viganò, I think other people being brought into this now.
Tell me what's going on with the Vatican feels they're under siege by the hard right.
ben harnwell
Good morning, Steve. Well, there are various themes to this which we can try and tie together and show how they're connected.
You absolutely mentioned the story yesterday in the Daily Mail, based on an Italian article in La Stampa, which had suggested, based on an anonymous cardinal, supposedly of the right, a conservative apparently, Who was boasting that there was going to be,
now that Benedict had died, there was going to be a rallying of conservative and traditionalist cardinals to undermine Francis and put an end to his Well, I've spoken to a couple of people since we spoke about this yesterday on the show, and nobody I spoke to believes what I said on the show yesterday, that the source here, this supposedly conservative cardinal,
is a conservative cardinal. I mean, they have different analyses as to what's going on here, but the general assumption is that this is definitely a move by the left.
It was a left-wing newspaper.
Why that took place, what the setting of the scene is, has different possible answers.
The one I floated yesterday is that this is a false flag to give Francis the pretext to pursue a purge in the Sacred College of Cardinals.
That is specifically to remove, I would suggest, Cardinal Burke's and Cardinal Muller from being cardinals.
Other possible interpretations are that they were trying to get ahead, this is the Vatican establishment, the papal household, were trying to get ahead of the story that is growing in the international press about this book by Georg Genswein, who was Papa Benedict's long-term A book called Nothing But The Truth, My Life with Benedict XVI. There are some full frontal blows against Francis in this book.
And one of the interpretations is that this story was planted in order to create a distraction and a potential alternative narrative that, you know, poor old Francis is so decent, humble and kind, now he's being undermined by these wicked,
evil conservatives. Finally, briefly, Steve, the third point Possibility that I've heard is that this is actually a cabal of the left that are now ready and willing to throw Francis under the bus because they feel that he's now outlived his usefulness to them and they want to replace someone who's a bit more able, a bit more charismatic in taking their agenda further.
So those are the three potential explanations.
But nobody believes that there is a cabal of conservative or traditionalist cardinals who are going to seek to force Francis to resign.
steve bannon
But let's go back to the book real briefly.
I tell you what, let's go to break and we'll come back in a moment.
Ben Harnwell joins us from Rome.
Cash Patel is going to join us next.
I'm going to try to fit in. Tucker did an amazing piece with our own Matthew Tierman last night about Brazil, about the situation in Brazil.
Yes, that would be Brazil, the Lula, the international transnational criminal, now in business, back in business with the transnational criminals in Beijing.
Morning Mika. Are we going to talk about that?
We're going to talk about the Chinese Communist Party, their involvement from the White House to Tony Blinken to the State Department to Mitch McConnell and his wife.
Where is the reporting of this?
To the Vatican. They understand power.
They understand leverage.
And they're using it. This will be the CCP. All next in the War Room.
Okay. We've got Kash Patel on deck with government gangsters.
This is a blockbuster, and it couldn't be more timely.
But Ben, I've got to finish with you.
The author of the book is the right-hand man to Benedict.
Yes. I don't think it says in the book, and we'll have to find out.
He does say about Benedict was disappointed about Francis trying to suppress pushing the Latin mass and other more traditionalist things.
Is that what's got everybody worked up?
ben harnwell
That's absolutely right, Steve.
In fact, the words that are being quoted are Archbishop Gernswein, who, as you say, was Benedict's right-hand man.
He said that when he heard that Francis had suppressed Benedict's order to liberalise the Old Mass, which was Samorum Pontificum, he said it broke his heart.
Those are the words that are being cited.
It broke Benedict's heart.
Now, the important thing here, Steve, if I can just put this very quickly in 30 seconds in context, The reason why Benedict wanted to restore the old mass was really, it's not really a benefit for priests so much, or for bishops, but for the laity.
And that's what he wanted to do, because Benedict's whole idea was to reinvigorate the laity, in line with the Second Vatican Council.
That goes underlining.
Francis, that is the last thing Francis wants to see, because Francis is on record as saying he doesn't support people who talk about the Christian basis of Western civilization.
He's against it.
And in fact, as you were saying in your introduction, he's allying the Vatican with all the existential enemies of the Judeo-Christian West.
This is the context around which These events need to be understood.
There is a fight. There's a small group, Steve.
It's a small group, not remotely numerical, right?
There's a small group that sees the laity and its faith.
It's fundamental to protecting the Judeo-Christian West.
But outside of the bishops and outside of the cardinals, the real majority of where people want to do this is in the laity.
It's me, it's you, it's faithful Catholics who go to Mass.
And your point in the introduction, you're the only person in the world saying this, Steve.
It's absolutely scandalous.
If you think, like, Joe and Mary Catholic...
Who've been going to Mass every Sunday, they can't have any say in who their bishop is, because that's Protestant.
That same right has been given to Chinese generals who spend their day job ripping down churches and cathedrals.
That's absolutely outrageous.
And Francis says nothing about that.
steve bannon
No, no. I want to make sure one of the biggest splits between the Protestant faith of the Protestant church and the Catholic church originally at the beginning was about the laity.
Actually, the person in the pew having some say-so and who the bishop is going to say, oh, no, no, no, that's absolutely good.
That's the same. They've given that entire power, the entire power they've given to the Chinese Communist Party.
They have a veto. Basically, the Chinese Communist Party picks the bishops in.
That's why the deal's secret.
The other reason the deal's secret, and I've said this from the first time, I stood on that convent right there over St.
Peter's Square the day the deal broke, is because there's a path for them to recognize China as the CCP, as the true government of the Chinese people, to take it away from Taiwan and to say that document has recognition of Of the Chinese Communist Party, that band of criminals, transnational criminals that have suppressed the Chinese people, killed 100 million of them, murdered 450 to 500 million in abortions, forced abortions.
That murderous dictatorship, the most murderous dictatorship in the history of the earth.
The history of the earth, the most murderous dictatorship in the history of the earth, that Francis and that cabal at the Vatican are in business with in a secret deal that they will not release, and they renewed it and will not release it.
The reason they won't release it, they understand how absolutely outrageous, and Catholics in the pews will go, what are you doing here? This is not how we handled taking the help and take down the Soviet Union.
This is not what we did during the Second World War.
We never sit there and kowtow to these folks, and you're in business with them.
Francis and the Curia at the Vatican is a business partner of the Chinese Communist Party, full stop. And until they release that document, a secret deal they've got, Once you release the deal and see what they signed up for and allow the Chinese Communist Party to pick the bishops and to destroy the truly traditional Catholic Church and let Cardinal Zen be put on trial by the CCP and not say a peep about it, not say a peep.
That guy runs his mouth on everything else in the world, trash-talking Trump, the populist movement, nationalists throughout the world.
That guy sits there and trash-talks everybody.
And the holiest guy in the Catholic Church, Cardinal Zen?
Who's given his life to defend the Chinese people and the Catholic faith in China?
And you let him be put on trial and you don't say one word?
The facts are gonna bear all this out.
Okay? Ben Harnwell, how do folks get to you?
ben harnwell
Thanks, Steve. If folks who are interested in what we're saying here want to check out my profile and get it, it's at Harnwell, which is my surname, at Harnwell.
I've got a post up from this morning where the former, the Vatican's former doctrine chief, Cardinal Muller in an interview in Italian press called Francis imprudent and intransigent.
Cardinal Muller is one of those I suggested could be purged from the College of Cardinals.
But that's giving an idea of the level of just...
I mean, it's not really to a degree of principle here.
It's this personal animosity.
They don't like the guy, Francis.
Because he's unhinged, Steve.
He's not right in the head.
steve bannon
Ben Harnwell, thank you.
Thank you for doing the live setup at the Vatican.
Beautiful shot. Appreciate it, sir.
Thanks, Steve. God bless you. Kash Patel, you saw it up close and personal of all this in fighting for the country and your countrymen in the government that had gotten out of control of the administrative state.
Your book is coming out, and it's a very subtle title, Government Gangsters.
We now know with Jim Jordan, and they're in freak-out mode.
They're in freakout mode, but I want to tie because you've been so good about this situation in Mar-a-Lago.
Joe Biden's got files of compartmented top-secret documents spread all over.
He's got in his office at the University of Pennsylvania, I think the Washington Bureau that's financed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Does the vice president have declassification authority circuit?
He declassified those documents?
kash patel
No, that's the greatest distinction from this political gift, if you want to call it that, that we could ever get.
I have said, and this is the law, the only person that has unilateral declassification authority and the sole arbiter of classified information is the sitting president of the United States.
You know who does not have said declassification authority by the law?
The vice president of the United States.
You want to talk about a two-tier system of justice run by government gangsters.
Joe Biden's documents were discovered a week before the midterm election.
This is the third time since Russiagate that the FBI and DOJ politicized the law enforcement apparatus to hijack an election for the Democratic people of the United States of America.
And that's what I talk about so many other officials who do this work And put politics before the law in Government Gangsters.
And you can get your copy at governmentgangsters.com, where I'm actually personalizing messages and books, governmentgangsters.com.
It's on presale because the Government Gangsters themselves have my manuscript and won't release it just yet.
steve bannon
What a great cover.
I love that. Government Gangsters.
People can go to your site right now.
Can they go to Amazon or is it just on your site?
kash patel
Yeah, governmentgangsters.com.
They can go to fightwithcash.com.
And yeah, they can also go to Amazon.
steve bannon
I want everybody to pile into this book today.
Now, let's talk about the book itself.
Cash, brother, now they're not going to release it.
Am I going to get the redactions here?
Are you going to fight the redactions because they're going to try to take out all the...
You're into naming names here, right?
You told me when you first started this, I'm going to name names.
Are they going to allow you to name names or are you going to have to fight for this?
kash patel
Yeah, and listen, having been on the inside, knowing how the pre-publication review process works, and we wrote this in such a way that, of course, there's no classified information, all they can do is slow the juggernaut down.
This book is coming out without redactions.
This book is coming out with a list.
Of government grade A tier one gangsters in the executive branch.
And we don't just identify them.
We say what they did. We tell you who their teams were, be it Russiagate, be it the Ukraine impeachment hoax, be it Mar-a-Lago, be it January 6th, what have you.
Time and time again, them and their partners in the media destroyed the American democratic process.
But what's more important, Steve, is I tell you on each agency and level how to fix it, how to fix the FBI, how to fix the DOJ. That's what the government, that's what the American people really need to hear.
And we outline that.
I think it's the agenda you'll see President Trump talk about when it comes to national security and foreign policy and law enforcement during this 2023 campaign cycle.
steve bannon
And using the apparatus we have today, they just announced, and this is why Jim Jordan didn't want to be speaker.
He wants judiciary, and he particularly wanted the subcommittee that now is in power, what we call the church committee, or it's the weaponization of government, which just the term itself should humiliate And put fear in the FBI and the DOJ. Using the apparatus that's out there today, before we take the White House back in 24, your book will inform these people.
Where do you see it coming into committees and where would you like to go?
What would be Kash Patel's, hey, these are the top one or two targets I think you have to go after?
kash patel
Yeah, absolutely. It's going to inform you everywhere from the DOD to the CIA to the FBI to the DOJ. And the primary places of congressional investigation, speaking from my perspective as having run the Russiagate investigation, is the primary investigation has to go to judiciary and this church committee and the weaponization of the FBI, DOJ, and the intelligence community, whether it's Hunter Biden's laptop, whether it's this new revelation of classified documents by President Biden, and it's the partnership with big tech, with Twitter, with Facebook, and the government, and the White House censoring free speech.
The subpoena machine needs to get turned on in the next week or so, and then you've got to get the government gangsters themselves, Chris Wray, Merrick Garland, Mayorkas and company, to sit in front of the United States Congress and the American people, not for an hour, but for days if necessary, so we can hear about Chris Wray's abuse, not just of the law enforcement apparatus, but how he can't drive 35 miles to take the government-funded jet, how he has it flown into D.C. so he and his lethargic behind can take another million-dollar payday.
from the United States taxpayer.
steve bannon
How can we avoid...
You're an expert of this, and people should know that he was the general...
Cash was the counsel for the intel committee when Devin Nunez ran it.
How can we avoid these guys just hunkering down and we're two years in a document fight?
We're two years before they want to come, and they say, well, we really can't come because it's ongoing investigations and we can't talk about any of this.
Or we can only talk about it in the SCIF. We can go in the SCIF and then they can sort of...
How do we avoid...
Walking into their trap because they're going to do nothing but delay, delay, delay.
kash patel
How do we avoid that? Yeah, and I outlined that in my book, Government Gangsters, but there's one mechanism, Steve, that breaks through all of that.
We did it once in Russiagate because Paul Ryan was too cowardice to let us do it again.
And what you do is when you issue your subpoenas, be it for documents or witnesses to come forward and they say, no, no, ongoing investigation, you fence their money.
At Congress, every committee has the right to withhold certain budgeting line items from the FBI, from DOJ, from CIA, from NSA, from DOD, where have you, to say, we're not going to give you that pot of $10 million until you give us the documents.
When we did it the one time that the Speaker let us do it, I got 1,000 pages of documents from DOJ and FBI the next day.
From Rob Rosenstein and Chris Ray who are withholding them to expose the corruption of the Bruce or FISA, the 302s, James Baker, everything that we now know is out there and still coming out about Russiagate, we got.
And that's what these chairmen and women need to do.
They need to go and take the money from these government gangsters and their agencies because it's our taxpayer money that is funding these people.
steve bannon
It's Government Gangsters.
I'm going to hold you through the break.
Before we go to break, I want people, this is the first day it's available in a pre-order.
kash patel
Where do they go? GovernmentGangsters.com.
I'm offering for the first time ever in the book space a personalized message.
Go to GovernmentGangsters.com.
We'll keep you updated and ship them as soon as we can.
We're hoping they go out in the next couple of months.
steve bannon
By the way, the amazing thing here is the timing of this book.
This is literally ripped from today's headlines, government gangsters, because you're going to be introduced to a lot of these gangsters in these hearings, and what you want is the background information so you can get up to speed.
Cash, I'm going to hold you through the break if you just hang on.
Cash Patel joins us.
He was really one of the most important members of Trump's first term and will be even a more important member In seniority in the second administration, the second term starts in January of 2025.
But in the interim, he is going to be all over these investigations.

steve bannon
We're there. All the contributors.
We're putting stuff up all the time.
It can't be taken down.
Our voice is not going to be suppressed, whether it's from Brazil to the CCP. Twitter, God bless Elon Musk.
He hasn't let any of the hardcore anti-CCP guys back on.
I would never go back on Twitter.
I never had an account on Twitter.
And remember, my partner, I had a partner, Andrew Breitbart, that really was the Trump of Twitter in his day.
We used to have arguments all the time about, hey, you got no ownership, you don't have a rev share.
Andrew made Twitter back in the early days.
He was the master. He was the maestro.
Then he had Trump. Twitter, and here's why.
Twitter and Elon Musk has still got to, you know, you got to come forward, Elon.
You got to talk about how you're financing, how you're financed by the CCP through the whole Tesla situation in Shanghai.
And Sequoia Capital.
Sequoia Capital is just a front for the CCP. Hey, Sequoia Capital, you're going, hey, trust me, there's already a House investigation predating us taking over the House on Sequoia Capital at House Intel about your involvement with the Chinese Communist Party.
Cash, I want to make sure, and books government gangsters, and here's why it's important.
And Cash has always been an important player, but he's about to become a more important player in the next couple of years in the investigations, trust me, because they're going to tap into his knowledge.
But in the second term, the second campaign, the second term, Cash Patel is going to be a senior member of the Trump administration.
Cash, you've done this from the beginning.
I just remember because with President Trump, when he authorized us to go talk to these committees and Mueller and particularly House Intel, the Star Chamber run by Shifty Shift.
And people got to remember, the reason it was run by Shifty Shift and Swalwell, who are now getting thrown off, is because Paul Ryan...
Didn't have Nunez's back and Kash Patel's back, who would have run it in a logical, reasonable way, and we were in the majority.
He turned it over to a guy I think is totally incompetent, and you saw him try to light up Elise Stefanik on Sunday night about all the fights they were doing to make sure that you got these great deals we got with McCarthy.
That's Trey Gowdy, who's a complete and total clown.
Right? And he turned it, Trey Galli allowed a shift in Swalwell to run that star chamber.
Right? To run the star chamber.
Cash, how did that happen?
How did, and my point is, it's about a mindset of this Republican Country Club establishment.
It's not just they're too gutless to fight, but they have a mindset.
They don't even want to get to the bottom of it because McConnell, all this stuff with Blinken and the University of Pennsylvania and West Exec Boulevard, The consulting firm, he was never even hammered in his confirmation hearings because of McConnell.
McConnell and Ryan are not just two peas in a pod individually.
It's a mindset. They don't want to go there.
You want to go there.
Nunes want to go there.
Trump want to go there. And that's why there was so much blowback.
What is that mindset among traditional Republicans?
They just don't want to go there, sir.
kash patel
It's simple, Steve. It's the Never Trump, Never MAGA, Never America First movement because people like Paul Ryan, and I'll highlight him as the number one government gangster in Congress at the time, wanted to block and prevent President Trump from ever coming to office and then prevent him from succeeding when he was there.
How do I know that? Because Paul Ryan, a Speaker of the House, blocked our investigation of Russiagate, partnered with government gangsters like Rod Rosenstein and Chris Wray.
Rod Rosenstein and Chris Wray, who subpoenaed my records as we broke on this show.
In 2017, when I was running Russiagate, I just found out only a month ago, these guys were collaborating to get dirt on myself and Devin Nunes because we were exposing their corruption.
This is the type of alliances from the deep state government gangsters that was preventing the American public from learning the truth, not just about Russiagate, but everything else.
So what happens when we have a new Congress and you have to hold a new Speaker of the House, a new chairman?
You have to make sure that these people do the bidding and investigation that needs to be done, from Hunter Biden's laptop to the classified documents and the two-tier system of justice for Joe Biden.
And to make sure these congressional leaders on the committee specifically subpoena the documents and people and release that to the American public.
It's where Paul Ryan and Rod Rosenstein colluded together to prevent the release of all these documents and the half of them never got out, which is why we're still asking questions about them today.
Rather than getting answers for the American people.
And the only way to solve that and pierce through the whole CCP veil that Mitch McConnell and company are colluding on with their partners in the outside media and people like Paul Ryan who are in lofty board positions at certain media companies, we have to go and get these committees on Congress to subpoena the CCP documents from places like Sequoia Capital.
And from Joe Biden's family and from Hunter Biden and then drag Hunter Biden before the United States Congress and ask him about the millions of dollars he got from the CCP. Those are the only answers that are going to be worth any merit.
And the most important thing is, Steve, we can't put out our own memos on this stuff.
This is where we caught the government gangsters red-handed in Russiagate, on Jan 6th, on Ukraine.
They're so arrogant that the Rod Rosenstein and companies of the world who tried to threaten to investigate me for doing my job, and he who himself threatened to wear a wire against President Trump, write this stuff down themselves.
on government documentation.
And we have to get the receipts, as you say, Steve, so succinctly.
We are owed the receipts.
I guarantee you they exist.
And anyone in Congress wants to know where to look, whether the FBI or DOJ or IC, you can give me a call.
I'll come over there.
I'll fly on a plane.
I'll do it at my own cost.
The American people are owed this.
And when we unleash 2023 in the Trump campaign, wait till you see the wave of truth that is going to hit them in the face.
steve bannon
Let me give two recommendations to Elon Musk and the team over there and to the guys in the house.
If you want to cut through it and really save yourself time and do it professionally, just call Cash.
Get to Cash. Cash will show you how to do it.
That's the savvy and the smarts and the street toughness.

steve bannon
Cash, brother, thank you so much.
I want everybody to pile on this book.
