| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| One thing. | ||
| I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. | ||
| One. | ||
| That I can go campaign on and say we did. | ||
| One. | ||
| Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done besides, well, I guess it's not as bad as the Democrats. | ||
| Can you confirm that the FBI had that sort of engagement with your own agents embedded within to the crowd on January 6th? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you are asking whether the violence at the Capitol on January 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources and or agents, the answer is emphatically not. | |
| You're saying no? | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a very significant hearing, Mr. Chairman, and these buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can deploy it onto our Capitol on January 6th. | |
| Your day is coming, Mr. Wray. | ||

|
Joining us now on NBC is Justice and Intelligence correspondent, Kendall Eaning. | |
| So, Representative Higgins essentially saying, accusing the FBI of busing in FBI agents dressed up as rioters, insurrectionists, and storming the Capitol on a hearing that had nothing to do with this. | ||
| Is this how the hearing went? | ||
| I would say about a third of it, Yasmin. | ||
| Mr. Higgins wasn't the only Republican who engaged in those kind of theatrics. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, did something very similar. | ||
| And a lot of Republicans took their time to really limb-base Chris Wray and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of DHS over things like the issues of border security of FBI investigations of January 6th. | ||
| But Chris Wray came To brief Congress on what he views as a very important issue, which is the elevated level of threat in the United States from terrorist attack. | ||
| And he says in particular that it's about as high as it's been in years because of the potential inspiration and the calls for attacks on the United States and on Americans and their allies by terrorist organizations. | ||
| Take a listen to Chris Wray. | ||
| Since October 7th, we've seen a rogues gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies. | ||
| Hezbollah expressed its support and praise for Hamas and threatened to attack U.S. | ||
| interests in the Middle East. | ||
| Al Qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the United States. | ||
| Got a lot of events today. | ||
| Today is the Marine Corps birthday, so I'm gonna make this tight. | ||
| There's a lot of people complaining about not voting to defund The FBI headquarters. | ||
| I want to address that real quick. | ||
| First of all, we are not the party of defunding law enforcement. | ||
| That's not us. | ||
| The FBI does some real work to keep us safe. | ||
| Without the FBI, we would have had another 9-11 several times already. | ||
| I got several buddies of mine who were in the Marines that now are in the FBI that do great work. | ||
| 99% of what the FBI does is needed to keep you and your family safe. | ||
| If you're going to defund a headquarters that's going to be built outside of D.C., which we say we want to do with bureaucracies, move them out of D.C., how are you going to do that without the funding that's already appropriated? | ||
| This does not expand the budget. | ||
| This has needed funds to do its job. | ||
| You don't get rid of the Boy Scouts because you've got a bad Boy Scout troop leader. | ||
| You don't get rid of the Catholic Church because you have a bad priest. | ||
| You fix the problem. | ||
| We got to do our job. | ||
| Let's not get crazy. | ||
| Let's have a real talk about real consequential results, and let's keep our family and our nation safe. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Joining us now is former Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Charlie Dent. | ||
| All right, so the House will dabble down for Thanksgiving one day earlier than expected. | ||
| Now you have these GOP hardliners giving the new Speaker of the House, Johnson, 10 days to win them over on spending. | ||
| How do you see this playing out? | ||
| I think the hardliners are going to be very disappointed between now and February the 2nd because what will happen is they're going to write the appropriations bills to the numbers that were agreed to in the law that Speaker Johnson voted for back with the debt ceiling. | ||
| They're going to have to write the bills to that number. | ||
| What they're doing in the House right now with these long-term spending bills are writing them to lower numbers that were not agreed to in the law. | ||
| Now everybody knows that's a joke. | ||
| It's a waste of time. | ||
| So when they negotiate with the Senate on these spending bills on January the 19th and then again on February 2nd, they're going to write them to the numbers in the laws. | ||
| The hardliners are going to hate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you Memphis. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Welcome to the early evening show here on Wednesday the 15th of 15 November in the year of our Lord 2023. | ||
| Now all of this is interconnected. | ||
| What's happening in the courtroom right now is they do closing arguments in Denver for what is really a monumental event in American history. | ||
| A state court judge is hearing closing arguments on an effort to remove The leading candidate that's going to win the Republican primary overwhelmingly and is leading in the presidential race to remove his name from the ballot so that you cannot vote for him. | ||
| That's tied back to Clay Higgins the first that today. | ||
| Chris Wray goes in front of to talk about terrorist threats. | ||
| But remember, the last time he was there to talk about terrorist threats, he said, the biggest threat we have is not the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas and not the Lebanese Shiite Party of God militias, which is called Hezbollah. | ||
| No, the worst is violent extremism, which is MAGA. | ||
| Which is domestic terrorists. | ||
| White supremacists, white nationalists, the deplorables, they're the bad guys. | ||
| That's what he said last time. | ||
| So he's called back up to give an update. | ||
| And he got jumped. | ||
| He got jumped because people have evidence, and Clay Higgins, a law enforcement guy, has a lot of evidence in MTG and others that there were, which he continues to not answer the question, that there were federal agents | ||
| FBI informants, federal assets, and probably not just federal, you know, DHS and FBI, probably DIA and maybe military assets in the crowd on January 6th. | ||
| He won't answer the question on the quote-unquote insurrection of what, that's why they're trying to take Trump off the ballot in Denver. | ||
| And that's why that's so relevant today. | ||
| And Clay Higgins saying, hey, we have evidence of buses of FBI assets or agents that were let into the crowd. | ||
| So my point is, and this gets back, and it's not to pick on Speaker Johnson, but the whole shebang. | ||
| Why is it on the 15th of November, and you're literally jumping a guy, and I admit he got jumped in another hearing, and half of it was about this, or a third of it was about this. | ||
| When we've had power now for 10 months, why did we not reconstitute the J6-like war room requested, and have a real committee, and let them have a ranking member, and let them have a minority counsel. | ||
| Let them see the evidence, let them cross-examine witnesses. | ||
| We have no problem with that. | ||
| That's the way the process should work. | ||
| And we will get to the bottom of it. | ||
| We'll start to get to the bottom of exactly what happened in the lead up to it. | ||
| Denver ties directly to Washington today because Cash Patel, they finished the arguments last week. | ||
| The closing arguments of Trump is going to feature the Cash Patel evidence. | ||
| Government gangsters. | ||
| Have you ever read the book? | ||
| Or if you read Chris Miller's book about when he was DOD and Cash was his chief of staff, I think for, I don't know, a couple of months over in DOD. | ||
| You see exactly what Trump wanted to do to prevent anything getting out of control and was thwarted by Nancy Pelosi and by Mayor Bowser. | ||
| And we have the Capitol Hill police chief that's given testimony. | ||
| I think he gave an interview on Tucker after that. | ||
| Sund. | ||
| Chief Sund. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is another example. | |
| Nothing gets done. | ||
| I would like to, if Memphis, just the Chip Roy piece, I may want to play again, just Chip Roy, because Chip Roy lays it out. | ||
| Chip Roy led the revolt today. | ||
| They're home. | ||
| When we left you at noon, there was going to be two more days of going through appropriations bill. | ||
| They were voting a bunch of stuff and leave Thursday night and not be back until the following Monday or Tuesday of after Thanksgiving. | ||
| They're gone now. | ||
| Town is empty and out. | ||
| Johnson just said I can't do it because the Conservatives jumped in because this audience, people are so furious and we understand that Speaker Johnson's gone to voicemail. | ||
| Using Grace Chung and the team's bill blaster, you lit them up today. | ||
| And the Conservatives, in with a couple of moderates, but the moderates are fighting policies the Conservatives put in these bills. | ||
| The Conservatives blocked the rule again, exactly what we did on the CR. | ||
| And Johnson wasn't again going to go to a suspension. | ||
| That would have been the end of his speakership. | ||
| I hate to be that blunt. | ||
| This gets to this and you heard Charlie Dent right there saying these stunts are all about you know not wanting to face the reality. | ||
| They cut the McCarthy deal at a certain level. | ||
| Remember, McCarthy agreed to these massive levels of spending and No limit to the debt ceiling. | ||
| No duration and no limit. | ||
| It was kicked in after the election to take the vote out of your hand and put no limit. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they understand that revenues are dropping and they can't judge what these deficits are going to be, so you're going to have to eat it. | ||
| And the U.S. | ||
| Treasury is going to have to sell the bonds around it. | ||
| In another example of their just incompetence, and that's what it is, incompetence, it's across the board. | ||
| It's not Mike Johnson, it's leadership too. | ||
| And specifically Comer in Jordan. | ||
| And we're so sick of you saying, nobody cares what's on Murdoch News. | ||
| Don't you realize Murdoch News fought for McCarthy at the beginning and lost? | ||
| We got all the rules packages changed and set up the actual Damocles' sword that we then could decapitate him. | ||
| And then later, and Fox News was on every night, you had Newt Gingrich, you had Karl Rove, you had Sean Hannity, you had them all. | ||
| McElnany, you had them all. | ||
| All, from the white couch in the morning all the way through the late shows. | ||
| All night long. | ||
| Murdoch, blah blah blah, this is chaos, this is chaos. | ||
| You've got to, you need order, you need Kevin McCarthy, you need the establishment. | ||
| Fox News has no power. | ||
| Comer, you have wasted all your time, and it's a disgrace. | ||
| You've wasted all your time on Fox News every other night on Sean Hannity. | ||
| I thought you were a co-host. | ||
| You know, you've got to give Sean Hannity your social security number. | ||
| He's got to take you as a write-off this year. | ||
| A dependent. | ||
| And Jordan's just as bad. | ||
| The reason Jim Jordan... Jordan should understand something that gets back to his job here. | ||
| The Jim Jordan that was the fighting Jim Jordan of a couple years ago when he was head of the Freedom Caucus and he was running the committees, that Jim Jordan would have been voted Speaker, I don't know, after two or three ballots. | ||
| This Jim Jordan was not and this Jim Jordan is the reason, the reason That Biden can go to San Francisco and sell us out with the business community. | ||
| Because remember, let me pull the camera back. | ||
| This entire thing, and why does she have to come over here so quickly? | ||
| Hey dude, it's the week before Thanksgiving, chill. | ||
| There's no events like this ever held. | ||
| It's the Christmas season, the holiday season, whatever you call it, throughout the world is starting. | ||
| People are either focused on year-end things they've got to get done to clean things up, but they're not having huge international meetings. | ||
| Why did you have to fly over for a five-hour meeting and then a press conference? | ||
| Oh, that's right, you had to meet with the billionaires for the dinner afterwards. | ||
| It's the dinner that's the key. | ||
| It's the business community driving this. | ||
| And why is that? | ||
| Because the business community makes a ton of money off the slave labor of China. | ||
| The business community makes a fortune off the slave labor of China. | ||
| They like the system that Xi has. | ||
| It keeps the workers in line. | ||
| It doesn't care about the environment. | ||
| There's no real regulation. | ||
| It's only what the Chinese Communist Party kind of make up at the time to make sure that you got paying more spiff. | ||
| As long as you're prepared to pay them, it's fine. | ||
| Everything can be fine. | ||
| As long as you pay what they call the squeeze. | ||
| You pay the squeeze, things are fine. | ||
| It's the business community that wanted this. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because the Ponzi scheme that is the Chinese Communist Party's commercial real estate, which I think, I don't know, has been a third. | ||
| Commercial and residential real estate has been a third of their economy. | ||
| That's all stopping now. | ||
| Once a quarter, every six months, you've got the tanks outside the Bank of China for depositors. | ||
| No, I don't think you're going to get your money. | ||
| You've got a tiger tank right there. | ||
| I don't think you're going to let us get in with our passbook savings account, take our money out. | ||
| It doesn't work like that. | ||
| So the whole Ponzi scheme, why are they in problems? | ||
| Because Donald Trump started to decouple because he understood their unrestricted warfare with us. | ||
| Information war, economic war. | ||
| Political warfare, cultural war. | ||
| They've declared a people's war. | ||
| They've declared a people's war. | ||
| This is she declared a people's war on us, I think in 2019. | ||
| That May of 2019 was, May of 2019 is kind of the railhead of all this. | ||
| What happened in May of 2019? | ||
| The Lighthizer deal, the deal that Peter Navarro and Lighthizer, who is the trade rep for Trump, had worked on a deal with Li He, who was the designated negotiator, and Wang Qishan, and they had worked out what Peter calls the Lighthizer deal, which was took care of the seven original sins of the Chinese Communist Party's economy, particularly state-owned industries, how they | ||
| can throughout the world lower wages, how their pricing can bring deflationary prices that you can't really build industries around, they can crush anything, all the tariffs, all the, everything they do to protect their economy and suck American jobs over there and allow this, and continue to exploit the slave labor of the Lao Bajing. | ||
| He had that all completed. | ||
| That was a done deal. | ||
| It had taken, so May of 19, it had taken two years of tough negotiation. | ||
| We started in basically May, June of 17. | ||
| So it was about two years of non-stop negotiations. | ||
| And they had signed off on everything. | ||
| And she at the same time invited Putin and had a One Belt One Road, a Belt and Road Initiative meeting in Beijing. | ||
| And they came out, Wang Qishan, and these guys said, hey, the Americans, when we look at this deal, this will really get into, our economy would really be folded into the Western model. | ||
| We would actually lose control. | ||
| It would be better economics for our people to lose control. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| We're not going to do it. | ||
| They just called Trump and said, deal's off. | ||
| The Chinese phrase is, circumstances changed. | ||
| Circumstances changed. | ||
| And so the deal was off. | ||
| And at that time also she saw what the social media companies were doing to Trump and he made a comment to people that and Miles Grohl repeated this and said this is the way these guys think that social media is more powerful as a weapon of mass destruction than a nuclear weapon. | ||
| Because look it's taken down it's taken down this guy Trump. | ||
| From May of 19, they declared a people's war. | ||
| Well, guess what we know started spreading in the late summer, early fall in Wuhan? | ||
| You guessed it. | ||
| A biological virus. | ||
| What became the Wuhan virus. | ||
| Early that we first reported, it actually shifted the show from being a war room pandemic to, excuse me, war room impeachment to pandemic in mid-January of 2020. | ||
| That was the origination. | ||
| They declared a people's war. | ||
| Next thing you know, a virus popped. | ||
| Just random. | ||
| Do you think that virus got mentioned a day in San Francisco? | ||
| You think they talked about reparations for that virus? | ||
| Think they talked about, you got to open up the labs, as the CIA told us, so we get to the bottom of the origin of it? | ||
| No, they did not. | ||
| The biological weapons is one. | ||
| Then you've got the fentanyl. | ||
| You get the chemical warfare attack. | ||
| The second opium war. | ||
| The reverse opium war. | ||
| That they're pulling. | ||
| That we're losing, what, 50, 75,000 people per year. | ||
| More in Vietnam in one year. | ||
| But that would not have happened if the Republican Party had done their job, and I'm not being unfair here. | ||
| You know, I just had that, if my crack assistant here can re-send me, so it's at the top of my Twitter, the statement by Johnson about those committees you sent me earlier, that I read on the earlier show, when Johnson put out a statement, oh, I really want to thank, I got briefed this morning, Remember, there's no coincidence. | ||
| They got briefed this morning because we've been lighting them up about why you haven't brought anything in a formal process so it would handcuff Biden so he couldn't meet with Xi. | ||
| You say in your announcement tens of millions of dollars, if we can get that up, we can get it to them so we can put it up on the screen. | ||
| Tens of millions of dollars that they've taken from our principal adversary. | ||
| Now let me see. | ||
| Who would that be? | ||
| Let me think for a second. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I'm cogitating. | ||
| I'm thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| The CCP. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| Did I connect that dot? | ||
| So what happened in D.C. | ||
| and the incompetence in D.C. | ||
| and Chip Roy finally had enough of it. | ||
| He goes in there, tells me one thing, and hey, he knows that's going to be cut into a million ads by the Democrats, but hey, it is what it is. | ||
| Chip Roy And Mediaite picked it up, and I'll put that clip up on Getter after the show. | ||
| Mediaite picked it up. | ||
| I said today. | ||
| And look, we're a backer of Johnson. | ||
| Johnson's a good man. | ||
| Johnson's a devout Christian. | ||
| He's a good man. | ||
| But you're on the clock, brother. | ||
| I mean, it's like 10 days. | ||
| When you come back, we can't wait till coming back after Christmas and hear what the deal is and then what we're going to do on the run-up to January 19th. | ||
| We have to know now. | ||
| We have to know how deep these cuts are. | ||
| I put up the chart this morning. | ||
| I'll hopefully get back to that tomorrow morning and spend some more time on it. | ||
| Put up the chart this morning that showed all the cash that comes in and all the cash that goes out. | ||
| And it's roughly four and a half trillion. | ||
| I'm just rounding. | ||
| Four and a half trillion dollars comes in from everything. | ||
| Corporate taxes, personal taxes. | ||
| By the way, corporate taxes, total corporate taxes, I think $480 billion. | ||
| I think that's the number. | ||
| 480, I think it was $220 billion. | ||
| I was $480 billion. | ||
| Corporate taxes, $2.2 trillion from personal taxes. | ||
| Then you got the social security. | ||
| You should leave that off the side. | ||
| Of course, that's not happening. | ||
| We're paying other bills with it. | ||
| Then you got everything that goes out. | ||
| The things that jump off the page is almost a trillion, I think $800 billion in Medicaid and income security, which is basically all the welfare programs. | ||
| All the welfare programs, another almost trillion dollars, $800 billion. | ||
| There's plenty to cut. | ||
| You don't touch entitlements. | ||
| Not now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| There's plenty to cut. | ||
| You can get to a balanced budget. | ||
| I could get you to a balanced budget in a couple years. | ||
| But that's the fight. | ||
| That's the fight. | ||
| And Chip Roy, finally the conservatives got hit a belly full of because they did something. | ||
| It wasn't the fact that they pushed a seat clean CR. | ||
| That was a mistake. | ||
| It wasn't that fact. | ||
| I think it's the fact that we blocked them in the rules committee to even bring it to the floor. | ||
| And that's a, that's a flashing red light that hates something fundamentally wrong with this. | ||
| And here's what's wrong with it. | ||
| First off, I think you shouldn't offer any CR at all. | ||
| The shutdown's a non-event. | ||
| Let them shut it down. | ||
| Let the media, let CNN, let MSNBC go nuts. | ||
| American people don't care. | ||
| They want to get to resolution. | ||
| The only way you get to resolution is to use every ounce of leverage you have. | ||
| Because Hakeem Jeffries is going to do that. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi did that. | ||
| Schumer's going to do that. | ||
| McConnell's going to do that. | ||
| That's what the city's made up of. | ||
| You don't become the sacrificial lamb. | ||
| If you do that, you're just a MOOC. | ||
| That's why I think people are demanding now, hey, we can't wait and we're not going to get happy talk because there's only 20 work days between now and the 19th of January. | ||
| We need to see the plan as soon as we get back because if we don't approve the plan, let's have the fight now. | ||
| Let's just have it now. | ||
| If Memphis could put up, I really appreciate that they got the chart. | ||
| I want to thank the crack team in Memphis and, uh, and also my own crack producing team here. | ||
| That chart. | ||
| And now look, if you listen to it on podcast, or if you listen to us on the vast radio network, we're now part of, I want to make sure that you can get all of this, the clips we put up and the charts we put up, particularly to understand the economic part of you got to get the charts. | ||
| This chart right here is very, um, illustrative. | ||
| It's a very simple chart. | ||
| It's, it's, it's cash in from all different, the major sources and cash out. | ||
| And it shows you the $1.6 trillion deficit as we know, and just keep the chart up. | ||
| You don't need to show me. | ||
| Just keep it. | ||
| Well, there is a split screen. | ||
| Hey, not bad. | ||
| I'll tell you what I'll talk and you direct. | ||
| How's that sound? | ||
| I'll let you direct. | ||
| God, the worst host in the world, Steve Bannon, Boston, producing and directing at the same time. | ||
| We're getting stink eye from our producer, and I know I'm getting stink eye in Memphis from the director. | ||
| Okay, I'll do it. | ||
| You guys make the call. | ||
| You see that chart? | ||
| That's a chart right next to my lovely visage. | ||
| It's pretty simple, but I want you to study that, because that's kind of it in a nutshell. | ||
| It shows you all the cash that comes in on the left, where it goes on the right. | ||
| The important thing to note, it's a $1.6 trillion deficit. | ||
| They still don't understand this up here. | ||
| That is permanent. | ||
| That is permanent. | ||
| Because until you do one of two things, you either take that number on the right, all those different streams, unless you cut that dramatically and couple that with increases on the other side, you're going to have a $1.6 trillion to $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| Now, the one reason I absolutely already know That well, we had a two trillion because they play games with it, but this year, but you're going to have a two trillion in this current year. | ||
| How do I know that? | ||
| Because the interest expense is about $600 billion, which is double what it was the year before double. | ||
| We already know because we've calculated upon the structural refinancing of one third of the $34 trillion at much higher interest rates going from 1% and 2% up to 5%. | ||
| That 300 or 400 basis point difference. | ||
| Be like refinancing part of your credit card. | ||
| That part of your credit had to be refinanced at a higher rate. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| It's a higher interest rate. | ||
| It's gonna be a trillion dollars. | ||
| Actually, I'm working with some guys in Scandinavia, and we're the first ones to break it. | ||
| It's gonna be a trillion. | ||
| EJ was there too, but they think now it could be a trillion five. | ||
| When you really count through everything. | ||
| You count it all up. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| Put a trillion dollars in that right-hand column. | ||
| All of a sudden, you're at a two trillion dollar. | ||
| And here's the point. | ||
| It's going to be on and on and on and on and on. | ||
| It's in perpetuity. | ||
| Until it's not. | ||
| What stops it from being in perpetuity is human agency, is human action. | ||
| You go back to the railhead of that, that's why you can't have a CR. | ||
| A CR just buys into the process. | ||
| It's now time to send them shock and awe. | ||
| As Charlie Kirk says, make them work through the holidays, make them work through Thanksgiving, make them work through Christmas. | ||
| You're trying to save the greatest country in the world. | ||
| This is why I also make sure you go and check out Birchgold, birchgold.com. | ||
| Go talk to the experts today. | ||
| This is at the heart of what this discussion is in San Francisco. | ||
| We're going to talk about a lot of different things, but the heart of it is a refinancing of the CCP. | ||
| That's why the business community is there. | ||
| They continue to want your money to go do that. | ||
| Your tax dollars and your pension funds. | ||
| Remember the CCP is not buying the bonds that we're selling. | ||
| We have a tough time selling the 30s last Thursday. | ||
| They're not lining up to buy those treasuries anymore. | ||
| You know what they're lined up to buy? | ||
| They're lined up to sell our bonds, get the cash and buy gold. | ||
| So if it's good enough for Xi, why is it not good enough for you? | ||
| These are pretty smart guys. | ||
| Check it out. | ||

Welcome back. | |
| I really want to give a head tip to this audience and, uh, you know, grace and the development team done a great job on the bill blaster app to give you guys even more operating leverage. | ||
| But as you can tell the, um, The, the, um, acknowledgement and fame of the War Room Posse and the ability to, um, to move the needle, uh, is extraordinary. | ||
| I heard today there was a meeting with Speaker Johnson and I don't want to give too much what went on with some people, but somebody told him point blank when he was, when he asked, cause the good guys, the earnest man, he says, Hey, tell me how this is playing. | ||
| Tell me, tell me where the response is. | ||
| And somebody told him, you've got a war room problem. | ||
| That the audience over there is absolutely furious, and these are our best folks, and they're mad beyond belief. | ||
| And you can tell its reach. | ||
| You have a huge amount of respect for Laobaijing in China. | ||
| That's one of the whole reasons we got new federal states out there, and it's been such a big deal. | ||
| A couple things on housekeeping. | ||
| Number one, Eric Prince. | ||
| Security is only going to get more important. | ||
| All types of personal security. | ||
| The one type of security you need is your telecommunications. | ||
| Eric Prince has worked on Unplugged, the phone, unplugged.com. | ||
| He's got an Android version now. | ||
| He's working on an Apple version. | ||
| We'll go to unplugged.com. | ||
| Find out all the different elements they put in to make sure one, not only can Google and Apple and these guys sell your data. | ||
| But more importantly, they can't collect your data. | ||
| And they also can't, you can't, this thing's impervious to allowing, uh, was it the 72 million impressions that would hit your kid by the time they're 13 years old. | ||
| So this might be the perfect phone that you get for the teenager. | ||
| And it's certainly a perfect phone for yourself. | ||
| But the information there, go to unplugged.com today, find out what Eric Prince has been working on for three years. | ||
| And you know, Eric, security is everything to him. | ||
| He puts it first and foremost. | ||
| He understood a phone that can block out not just the government listening to you, but the bad guys listening to you. | ||
| Oh, they say government and bad guys, but maybe sometimes they're the same. | ||
| Not me saying it. | ||
| Congressman saying it today. | ||
| This issue with the Fed's erection. | ||
| Also, he got, FBI and others got, eviscerated, eviscerated on the border. | ||
| And the guy in the car was a congressman. | ||
| Talk about a guy that quite frankly, you know, they say 10% never get the word. | ||
| Old Navy saying, he did not get the word. | ||
| And somebody in his district, he's a congressman from Georgia, and I understand his district has been lining him up at this FBI. | ||
| His discussion of the FBI was complete irrelevant, happy clappy nonsense. | ||
| Not just that, in the dumbest statement I've heard in a long time. | ||
| Well, we told them they gotta get out of D.C. | ||
| and they went to the suburbs of Maryland. | ||
| Bro, we count D.C. | ||
| to be the whole complex, Northern Virginia and those counties. | ||
| No, moving to the suburbs in Maryland, which is even more woke and has more bad guys living in it, more deep staters than anybody, is not moving out of D.C. | ||
| Georgia. | ||
| You gotta do better than that. | ||
| That definitely needs an upgrade. | ||
| Needs an upgrade or he needs to sit down and MAGA's gotta sit down with him and say, bro, you're not getting it. | ||
| Not about bad apples, but we have a systemic problem. | ||
| Systemic problem with law enforcement. | ||
| We have a systemic problem in a woke DOJ and FBI. | ||
| It's not one bad apple. | ||
| And no, moving the headquarters that's bigger than the Pentagon, which they should never have, moving it to suburban Maryland is not, sir, moving it out of Washington, D.C. | ||
| Let me go to Bradley Thayer, Dr. Thayer. | ||
| This fiasco, which should never happen. | ||
| First of all, why is she running over here so quickly, the Emperor Xi? | ||
| Why is he running over here so quickly? | ||
| Why does he need to, why does he need to beat Biden face face? | ||
| Biden's on his payroll and yelling and blinking a bit over there, kowtowing to him in the imperial city. | ||
| Why does he need to come over here and have this meeting today? | ||
| He needs a bailout. | ||
| That's what he needs. | ||
| And he's getting it from The business community, Steve, as you noted earlier. | ||
| The whole point of the visit is actually to meet with the business community hosted by the U.S.-China Business Council and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. | ||
| All of those entities trying to establish and to sustain essentially the relationship with the People's Republic of China. | ||
| So that's what he needs because he's in dire straits. | ||
| He's in very difficult circumstances economically. | ||
| In his own position within the party, he's tested. | ||
| His paranoia is getting far worse. | ||
| And so what is he looking for? | ||
| He's looking for that bailout, which is why he's here. | ||
| And in some respects, the meeting with Biden was secondary. | ||
| It's the meeting at the dinners tonight with the billionaires that are going to ensure that they use their political pressure on the Biden administration, on Congress, on essentially the D.C., obviously all the sinews of power. | ||
| To ensure that nothing changes and that interactions still and trade flows continue to go, investment continues to flow, and essentially what they established in the pre-Trump world continues. | ||
| So that's the point of it. | ||
| Secondly, he's over here to humiliate Biden. | ||
| This is a huge political warfare victory for Xi Jinping. | ||
| Meeting in San Francisco, of course, the capital of the Eastern Pacific. | ||
| The city that hosted the UN organization, the founding for the UN in April and between April and June 1945 where the UN was created, a city of great significance. | ||
| The post-Cold War order, the Cold War order was largely established in that city. | ||
| And so what Xi is doing with the fawning welcome The motorcade. | ||
| gave him when he arrived. | ||
| And he's obviously the heir apparent for the Democrats, or at least one of the major contenders. | ||
| The motorcade, I'm sure you saw the images, Steve, of the motorcade, G's motorcade. | ||
| It was maximal humiliation for Biden. | ||
| And there's no reason why we should stand for this. | ||
| As you've observed, he should not have had this meeting for a host of reasons, because of obviously the relationship that he has with the Chinese Communist Party, but no American president It's like the U.S. | ||
| tolerate this humiliation and being used as a doormat before Xi gets to the real meeting with the billionaires. | ||
| So this has to change. | ||
| Thirdly, Steve, it comes at just, it's like the government is on two different planets. | ||
| Today the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission released their report to Congress where they talk about four major points, right? | ||
| First, the PRC's preparing for war, war against us. | ||
| Secondly, Xi has sounded his society. | ||
| He's ordered his society prepare for hardships. | ||
| That means essentially worst-case scenarios, as he's put it, or extreme scenarios. | ||
| Building hospitals, hoarding grain, essentially preparing the foodstuffs as well as securing energy supplies, and warning the Chinese people that they're going to be tested. | ||
| They're going to have to endure hardships. | ||
| So the committee report noted, the commission report noted that. | ||
| Thirdly, the report also noted that the PRCC's diplomacy is a way of gaining time. | ||
| So Xi's over here to get essentially to be bankrolled, but he also wants to continue the status quo. | ||
| He wants to continue So it's a very dangerous situation. | ||
| while he does everything to prepare his military, to prepare his people, and also put the big pieces in place for aggression against Taiwan, the Philippines, and the US itself in due course. | ||
| So it's a very dangerous situation. | ||
| So on the one hand, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission report is saying, hey, they're going to war against us. | ||
| And on the other hand, Biden is in San Francisco serving as Xi's doormat. | ||
| It's... | ||
| You couldn't write this. | ||
| This couldn't be a script, Steve. | ||
| It's surrealistic at a fundamental level. | ||
|

|
This is our first view of all the men around the table. | |
| Talk about the pressure on Xi, which is very different. | ||
| Not an election coming up. | ||
| Essentially a president for life. | ||
| And dependent, maybe more largely, on pictures than deep analysis for the people back home. | ||
| It's absolutely true. | ||
| We talked about optics. | ||
| We talked about symbolism. | ||
| We talked about theatrics. | ||
| I also helped prepare many of these summits when I was at the NSC. | ||
| Every detail... I'm going to interrupt you for one second. | ||
| We can hear the President. | ||
| ... straightforward and frank, and I've always appreciated it. | ||
| Mr. President, we've known each other for a long time. | ||
| We haven't always agreed, which would not surprise anyone. | ||
| But our meetings have always been candid, straightforward, and useful. | ||
| Never doubted what you've told me in terms of your case. | ||
| Let me have it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I just want to make sure people understand this, Dr. Thayer. | ||
| The business community, Trump goes through this aspect, we go through this decoupling. | ||
| The reason we do the decoupling, we try, in the first couple years of the Trump administration, and remember, they have a category of realists, they have a category of people that are the realists, people that are the confrontationalists, people that are the accommodationists, and then they have the super hawks, which is myself, Navarro, a couple others. | ||
| The difference that we had in the White House When the Washington Post, the great columnist of the Washington Post wrote the book, it said that for the first time they actually had people in positions of authority that said the Chinese Communist Party is not the legitimate ruler of the people of China. | ||
| It's not the legitimate government. | ||
| It has a problem of legitimacy and we know to the core that they're worried about that. | ||
| We do try to work with them to see if there's any way that there can be a working together and that they can fold into the family of nations and stop being a bandit administration. | ||
| And we do this through the Lighthizer deal. | ||
| And this is why May of 2019 is, in the history of this century, one of the most important points geopolitically because it's an inflection point. | ||
| Number one, they have a One Belt One Road meeting and they realize that things are going better than they thought. | ||
| All the nations are kowtowing to them. | ||
| Number two, they look at the Lighthizer, Dionne Wanshee, Sean and she say, hey, if we do this, we're essentially kowtowing to the Americans. | ||
| We're falling into their system. | ||
| We're going to lose control. | ||
| Number three, they look at technology and say, hey, we're not going to have happened to what's happening to Trump and these people to have these social media companies that can essentially control them. | ||
| We're going to break off and have our own, have our own, our own standards. | ||
| And at the same time, then they come up and they declare a people's war. | ||
| I think it was in May of 19, a people's war. | ||
| Next thing you know, a bioweapon appears out of nowhere, out of Wuhan, that comes out somewhere in the summer, fall. | ||
| By January, it's all over the place. | ||
| And then later, the fentanyl. | ||
| The report, and I want people to understand, the business community wants them over here because the business community wants to recouple. | ||
| To recouple. | ||
| They're desperate to recouple. | ||
| Because they don't mind making money off the slave labor of China. | ||
| They don't mind that the American working class and middle class is being destroyed by this. | ||
| They have no compunction to use U.S. | ||
| taxpayer dollars and or their pension funds through private equity and venture capital like Sequoia Capital to fund the advanced weapons systems of the People's Liberation Army that will be used against the 7th Fleet ships in the defense of Taiwan. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| And you have a report there. | ||
| You're saying the report kind of lays all this out and says, hey, by the way, it's gone from unrestricted warfare. | ||
| It's kind of sliding to people's war, kinetic warfare, as you can see on the battlefields in Ukraine. | ||
| And you particularly see on the battlefields of their partners, the Persians and the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel. | ||
| And at the same time, Biden then, it's a theater of the absurd. | ||
| We have reports that say, hey, these guys are actually at war with us and we're sliding into a bigger war. | ||
| The business community is sitting there going, no, we want to be in business with these guys because we don't care if we finance Mussolini or Hitler, we don't care. | ||
| I mean, Lenin told us this. | ||
| Lenin said the capitalists will sell us the rope in which we will hang them. | ||
| And Elon Musk and these guys don't care, they're not even Americans. | ||
| And you got Biden kowtowing. | ||
| How did we get in this position? | ||
| And on top of it all, Johnson comes out today and puts out this little announcement, hey, I just had a meeting with Comer and my wrestler, and they tell me tens of millions, tens of millions of dollars have come from our adversary into the accounts of the Biden family. | ||
| And yet, Biden's out there and going to have a press conference here in a few minutes. | ||
| Brother Thayer, is this the way a great power runs? | ||
| Is this the way the English ran it at the top of their game? | ||
| Is this the way the Spanish ran it? | ||
| Is this the way the Romans, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, did they run like this? | ||
| I don't want to be an empire in the first place. | ||
| But if you're going to be an empire, if you're going to be a hegemon, is this the way hegemons act, Dr. Thayer? | ||
| No, and it's not the way Americans have run their foreign policy and defense policies. | ||
| So we can look back in our recent history and say this is not the way Americans do this. | ||
| It's also notable, Steve, that Xi Jinping is committing genocide against Muslims in Xinjiang and elsewhere in China, against Uyghur, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz Muslims. | ||
|
unidentified
|
U.S. | |
| cities have been rocked by protests, obviously, broadly in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, and yet where were those protesters in San Francisco? | ||
| There weren't any. | ||
| And here's a dictator, the dictator of China, showing up, somebody who's actively committing genocide today against Muslims, and there were only a sprinkling of human rights protests against the state which is committing the gravest human rights abuses against the Chinese people, all the Chinese people, of course. | ||
| So you also want to reflect on this year. | ||
| What happened this year? | ||
| It started with a spy balloon, right? | ||
| We recognize there's a bioweapons lab in Northern California. | ||
| The police stations that the Chinese are running, essentially to crack down on dissidents here in the United States and U.S. | ||
| cities. | ||
| The pressure against the Philippines, against Taiwan, right? | ||
| This guy is moving to conflict and he's moving to dramatic changes, not in U.S. | ||
| interests, but directly opposed to U.S. | ||
| interests. | ||
| And the Biden administration Uh, has no response to that, right? | ||
| Their responses to essentially full. | ||
| So this is worse than appeasement, right? | ||
| This is at least Chamberlain was trying to make an effort, uh, a failed one, uh, obviously the misguided one, uh, in many respects, but the Biden administration, uh, is conjoined. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Elite, elite, elite. | |
| You're seeing elite merger. | ||
| We got to bounce. | ||
| The press conference is going to take place and we're going to try to, I think Grace and Mo are going to try to stream that on Getter. | ||
| I'll be up there for commentary. | ||
| What do you anticipate? | ||
| Give me a minute on this press conference that's about to take place, the joint press conference for Biden, with Biden and Xi. | ||
| What are you looking for? | ||
| Well, I'm looking for the minimal of humiliation of the United States with President Biden. | ||
| So it's not going to be good. | ||
| It's just a question of how bad is it going to be? | ||
| When President Biden is up there in a press conference with the Xi Jinping, Biden is going to stress the agreements that they're attempting to reach on climate change, right? | ||
| And as if An agreement with a communist state means anything, right? | ||
| Lenin said agreements are pie crust. | ||
| They're made to be broken, right? | ||
| So any agreement you're going to reach with this guy is only is insignificant. | ||
| So let's just keep our fingers crossed that the damage is minimized. | ||
| Steve, he's going to talk about trade. | ||
| He's going to talk about the future of the relationship, how things are getting better. | ||
| And she is essentially robbing him and humiliating him in real time. | ||
| And there's no U.S. | ||
| president who should stand for this. | ||
| And it is it's not unseemly. | ||
| It's appalling and disgusting that we're in this situation. | ||
| It is disgusting. | ||
| And by the way, if we had done our job in the House, Biden would never have been able to meet Dr. Thayer, social media writings, all that. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Getter and Truth at Bradley Thayer and on X at Brad Thayer. | ||
| Thank you very much Steve. | ||
| It's a pleasure. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, thank you so much. | ||
| Your blinding insights as usual. | ||
| Okay, I'll be up on Getter. | ||
| I think Mo and Grace, we're going to try to pull this and do the press conference back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| It's going to be intense. | ||
| Remember, everybody's gone home because of your work. | ||
| You shut the thing down. | ||
| We're going to give them a clean CR, then we got to have a rethink here. | ||
| And they're on the clock, 10 days, got to see a plan. | ||
| And that plan's got to be tough. | ||
| We'll be walking through with other people these cuts that have to be made. | ||
| Remember two things. | ||
| One is the self-reliant to make you more self-reliant or give you access to tools and companies that make you more self-reliant or give you access to self-reliance. | ||
| The other is to help build a patriot economy. | ||
| We're tired and people are tired of giving your money to people that hate you. | ||
| That doesn't have to be. | ||
| PublicSQ, the guys at PublicSquare have set up an exchange. | ||
