| 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. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And welcome back for the second hour of the War Room, the late afternoon, early evening edition. | ||
| It's Thursday, 28 November in the year of our Lord 2023. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're going to do two things today. | ||
| Number one, as I told you on the morning show and at five, We're going to break down, you know, the election in 2024, we're going to end in November with the election of President Trump. | ||
| But we got to start in January with a massively important election in Taiwan, the free people of Taiwan, the Republic of China. | ||
| Has an incredibly important election and we'll have a number of experts on later in the show. | ||
| Colonel Mills is going to be here to talk to us about the South China Sea, the defense of Taiwan. | ||
| Dr. Bradley Thayer, Grant Newsome are going to also join us. | ||
| I've then got, we're going to shift and talk about the rise of the populist right, the Financial Times of London and complete total meltdown about the global rise of the populist right. | ||
| And our international editor in Rome, Ben Hornwell, is going to join us there. | ||
| But I want to start with a New Federal State comms person, spokesman. | ||
| She was out throwing shade on the dictator Xi on San Francisco and the Bay Area when we last left her at Nicole's site. | ||
| Nicole, thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| And we have Chris Chen is joining us from Taiwan. | ||
| Am I correct in that, ma'am? | ||
| Yes, absolutely, Mr. Bannon. | ||
| Thank you so much for having us. | ||
| So, Nicole, let me start with you. | ||
| Thank you, Chris. | ||
| We're going to get to you in just one second. | ||
| Nicole, let me start with you. | ||
| Explain the new federal state. | ||
| You guys have been at the forefront of explaining to the American people the brutal dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Why is this election in January in the Republic of China, Taiwan? | ||
| Why is this so important for the not just for the Taiwanese people, but for people throughout the world, particularly the American people, ma'am? | ||
| So the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan is one of the most consequential elections, not only for the Chinese people, but Taiwan and US. | ||
| It's because the CCP has already threatened to the Taiwanese people. | ||
| They say this election is about the Taiwanese people to choose between peace or war, prosperity or decline. | ||
| I mean, that is a blatant threat. | ||
| So that is the test of the political resolve. | ||
| of the US defense of Taiwan's military against the CCP's aggression, and also a test of the Taiwan people's own determination to stay independent of the CCP's control. | ||
| And also a test on the US part, because we know that the Biden administration has been running short of the support for the security assistance to Taiwan, even though verbally he has told the CBS 60 Minutes last year that the US will send troops to defend Taiwan in the event of the CCP's invasion. But actually, in the 2023 Defense Authorization Act, the funding remains | ||
| undercut. So I think that the US should deliver a very powerful deterrence. But right now, this administration seems to have lost the capacity for deterrence because once Joe Biden said, don't, don't, don't, the malign government or adversary will just do the opposite. | ||
| They will do it, do, do, do. | ||
| Chris, you're actually in Taiwan. | ||
| Can you tell us where you are? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm right now in Taichung City. | |
| Hello everyone. | ||
| My name is Christian. | ||
| I'm from Taiwan. | ||
| I'm 100% made in Taiwan, born in Taiwan. | ||
| I'm a Taiwan patriot, and I'm a follower of the New Federal State of China. | ||
| Chris, let me ask you, as a Taiwanese citizen and patriot, what are the stakes of this election? | ||
| Explain to the American people what's actually at stake in this election in early January. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The stake of this election is one of the most important elections In history, I think. | |
| Because this election will decide whether the Chinese Communist Party will breach the first line of defense or not. | ||
| But I believe that some people will make the right choice. | ||
| We won't let the Chinese Communist Party breach the first line of defense. | ||
| Chris, we're told here in the United States, and particularly by the Biden regime, that Taiwan is simply a province. | ||
| I mean, he reinforced this with this one-China nonsense, that Taiwan's nothing but a province, a wayward province, and that really most of the people there want to be more integrated into the CCP and really don't cherish their freedom. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I totally disagree with that opinion. | |
| The Taiwan people and Taiwan is not part of the PRC. | ||
| We are the Republic of China. | ||
| It's a separate country. | ||
| It's an independent country already. | ||
| And I believe that only a small amount of the people believes them, like maybe 5 to 10 percent. So I don't agree with them and I think the Taiwan people will make the right choice. | ||
| So Chris, I just want to make sure I understand this because we're hit with all the day and we've got some of our own experts that come on all the time. | ||
| And of course, they don't agree with us, but we're being told by the mainstream media all the time that it's 30, 40, maybe 50% of the Taiwanese people want to be more vertically integrated into China, don't have a problem with the CCP running the place. | ||
| You disagree with that. | ||
| You're saying the vast majority of your countrymen are also patriots that want to remain independent as a free and independent nation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| The Taiwan people want to be independent from the CCP. | ||
| We want our own country to have freedom, democracy, rule of law. | ||
| We don't want any control from the CCP. | ||
| The CCP, they pay money to the mainstream media. | ||
| But people in Taiwan, we will choose which mainstream media or media we watch. | ||
| So don't fully believe what the mainstream media say. | ||
| Chris, Do you and your fellow patriots of the 80 or 90 percent of the country that you say wants their independence and is prepared to vote for independence, | ||
| What percentage of those patriots, what percentage of the 89% believe that if they continue to vote for their independence, that China, the CCP will eventually get tired of this nonsense and start to roll on some sort of military either quarantine of Taiwan, a blockade of Taiwan to shut you off from food sources, energy sources, commerce. | ||
| And or actually lead to an invasion. | ||
| What, what, what percentage of, of do you believe the patriots are prepared to vote for democracy or prepared to fight for democracy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think, um, okay. | |
| If to, to vote like for now, the only pro-Taiwan choice is the DPP party. | ||
| I think the DPP party will get like, uh, over like 35 to 40% of the votes. | ||
| But some people in the middle, they are not pro-CCP, but they are in the middle. | ||
| But I think at least 30% of the people and then 40% of the pro-DPP people will be willing to stay in Taiwan and to guard Taiwan. | ||
| You believe, so you believe, my calculation, you believe 75% roughly minimum of the Taiwanese people would, if the voting kept voting for independence and the CCP said, we're not having this, we don't care what you vote for, you believe at least 75% of your fellow countrymen would actually stand up to defend Taiwan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Very powerful. | ||
| Nicole, I want you guys to hang on because I'm going to go through some of our American analysis and then I want to bring you guys back. | ||
| But Nicole, is that word when you're, the new federal state has expatriate groups all over the world, but particularly in the United States, quite strong. | ||
| Did the rest of the Chinese community in the United States that is anti-CCP, did they put the same importance on this Taiwanese election in January as we do here at the War Room? | ||
| Absolutely, because Taiwan is a shining beacon of hope for the 1.3 billion Chinese people who are unfortunately living under the CCP's control. | ||
| So the free election in Taiwan serves as a great example of the Chinese people's dreams and hopes. | ||
| And that's what the new federal state of China has been striving to do, because eventually we want to bring freedom and democracy and rule of law back to China. | ||
| So that's why Nicole, we're told by all the elites in the world that the CCP tells people that the reason that China is the only nation, really only great nation on earth, that does not have democracy, that people cannot vote, is that you're too rambunctious, you're too childlike. | ||
| I mean, that's the CCP's propaganda. | ||
| They have been belittling the Chinese people's intellect. | ||
| Just look at people in Taiwan. | ||
| civil war, it'd be terrible. And that only the CCP has the fatherly parental strength to manage the children that are allowed by Xing. You're telling me you don't agree with that? | ||
| I mean, that's the CCP's propaganda. They have been belittling the Chinese people's intellect. Just look at people in Taiwan. I mean, they have been enjoining a free form of government for so many years, and people are doing just fine. | ||
| And look at people in Singapore, and look at the Chinese American patriots in the United States of America, in Europe, from across the world. | ||
| Once the Chinese people are granted the freedom and rule of law, they will prosper. | ||
| So that's why the destruction of the CCP is the only pathway forward to let the Chinese people enjoy their true freedom. | ||
| So that's why the NFSC is not calling for the independence of Taiwan, but also independence of the Tibetan people, of the Uyghurs, and of all the people living in China. | ||
| Nicole, if you and Brother Chen here could just hang on for a second, I want to bring in some of the American experts. | ||
| Let's leave with Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, now you're a, we're about to announce you're a major contributor here to the War Room and to our website. | ||
| Do you agree with the assessment of Brother Chen and Nicole about the importance of this election? | ||
| Well, of course, it is one of the most significant elections we're going to have. | ||
| And Steve, as you noted, of course, 2024 is going to be a year with very significant elections, Taiwan leading that off in January, of course, the US presidential election, and you may have an election in the United Kingdom, depending on when Sunic calls for it. | ||
| So it's a critical year. | ||
| It's also a critical year, as General Minahan mentioned in his leaked memo in January of 23, where he said he anticipated that China may invade, the PRC may invade Taiwan in 2025 after the presidential elections in Taiwan and in the US. | ||
| So it's a critically significant election. | ||
| And as your guests have observed, Taiwan is absolutely essential. | ||
| I would add, in addition to what was mentioned about the political value of Taiwan, it shows that it's a democracy, that the Chinese people can live under a democracy and a very advanced economy. | ||
| Taiwan matters because of its A very important military and intelligence base. | ||
| But hang on. | ||
| How do we then buy into and allow buy into the central argument of the CCP that the Chinese are too rambunctious, too immature, too rebellious, too childlike to manage their own affairs? | ||
| Is not Taiwan one of the shining examples in the world of a country that has democracy and a contested democracy? | ||
| They fight all the time at the ballot box. | ||
| Their debates in their parliament are unbelievable if you ever get a chance to watch them. | ||
| This is heated democracy, as democracy is supposed to be, in an incredibly well-run country. | ||
| The leader, quite frankly, the foundry of the world for advanced chip design, which It drives the entire modern economy. | ||
| It's not just an example of democracy. | ||
| I would actually argue, if you look at the entire world, it may be the best example. | ||
| And it shows you the stick-to-it-ness, the grit of the Chinese people and what they can do with their freedom. | ||
| Why don't we buy into the mainstream narrative of the Chinese Communist Party, which is proven to be a lie in Taiwan, sir? | ||
| Well, I don't know that we do. | ||
| It's a lie. | ||
| I mean, the CCP, as your guests have said, is essentially advancing that line. | ||
| It's propaganda, and it's a malicious Oh, of course, lie directed against Taiwanese people as part of their political warfare campaign against Taiwan and also to shape perceptions in the United States and in the West. | ||
| So Steve, you're right. | ||
| I mean, it's a very advanced, it's about an $800 billion economy, gross domestic product, very high, about 33,000 It's a very advanced economy. | ||
| It's making our chips, as you said, very valuable otherwise. | ||
| It occupies key geostrategic space as essentially being part of the first island chain from Japan through Taiwan to the Philippines, so it plays a critical role. | ||
| in ensuring that the Chinese threat is dealt with. | ||
| So it's essential for geostrategic reasons, it's essential for economic reasons, and then also for political reasons. | ||
| And so the health of its democracy also underscores your point. | ||
| Where you have a presidential election, three major parties are running, each with viable candidates. | ||
| It's a very robust political system and shows in direct contrast to China, where the paranoid leader Xi Jinping is getting rid of his opponents, throwing out generals, foreign ministers, and defense ministers. | ||
| So in contrast between the two political systems, Taipei looks far more preferable than Beijing, obviously, despite the lies and calumnies of the Communist Party of China. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| I'll bring in Colonel Grant Newsham in this. | ||
| My favorite book of recently is the is when China attacks a warning to America and man is in your grill. | ||
| This book, for those who have never read it or just think this thing is going to go away, this challenge is going to go away, this threat, this crisis is going to go away, just read the book. | ||
| Colonel Anusham, is the first line of attack of the Chinese Communist Party taking down the democracy in Taiwan, the freedom of the people in the Republic of China? | ||
| Is this election in early January the last big phase of their unrestricted warfare before they go kinetic on us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It just might be. | |
| It's certainly from a Chinese perspective. | ||
| Once you get Taiwan, everything else is possible. | ||
| It's just really a launching pad to going after the us and the rest of the world. | ||
| And keep in mind the political psychological effect if Taiwan comes under Chinese control. | ||
| One way or the other. | ||
| And it shows that America's implicit guarantee of protection of Taiwan didn't matter. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| military couldn't prevent Chinese takeover. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| nuclear weapons couldn't do it. | ||
| The threat of them. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| financial and economic power couldn't stop the Chinese. | ||
| They just submit to the inevitable. | ||
| And that is what is at stake here in Taiwan. | ||
| And as Professor Thayer mentioned, As you've talked about, you know, what the Chinese are saying, the communists are saying about Chinese just being children who need a boot on the neck, it reminds you exactly of what the South Africans used to say about black Africans. | ||
| And that was just considered ridiculous, stupid. | ||
| And here it is when China says it, everyone goes, Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. | ||
| Well, Taiwan is an existential threat by its very existence. | ||
| And thus Taiwan, the Chinese want to Stamp that out. | ||
| But that is how important this is. | ||
| And China is going to look at the outcome of this election in Taiwan and then make a decision, I think, based on what they see as to when they go kinetic, when they actually use force to move against Taiwan. | ||
| And as I said, Taiwan is just the first step for them. | ||
| Let me ask you about that, because Terry Guo, of which Miles Guo and myself years ago led the effort when he first announced to run the primary four years ago, were all over about exposing him as nothing but a running dog for the CCP. | ||
| He was trying to put together the coalition that would oust the DPP and actually put a pro-Beijing, pro-CCP government in there. | ||
| These developments over the last 72 hours, over the last week, how important is that for the American audience to understand that that essential coalition they tried to put together actually collapsed? | ||
| How important is that about the run-up to this election? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The fact it collapsed is a good thing, because this definitely was the Chinese Communist Party trying to cobble together a unity platform that would have worked to their advantage. | |
| You can see how they put Terry Guo on ice when he made a move to run, and he has, by some accounts that I would listen to, has been taking orders from the Chinese. | ||
| All they had to do this time was just threaten to investigate some of his mainland businesses. | ||
| And now he's gone. | ||
| But he and particularly former President Ma certainly appears, circumstantial evidence, which is very compelling, suggests that Ma, in particular, and some of his friends were colluding directly with the Chinese Communist Party to force this unity ticket. | ||
| And it's a good thing that it didn't come to pass, but it doesn't mean that the DPP is going to win. | ||
| People, like in any election, people vote based on a lot of things, and often it's their personal circumstances. | ||
| They don't always vote on foreign affairs. | ||
| Do you think they view the CCP as a foreign affair there? | ||
| Or do you think they view it as a domestic affair? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, as I said, people vote for strange reasons, even in our country. | |
| I tend to live and breathe foreign affairs and think it's very important and would certainly shape my voting. | ||
| But if you don't have a very good job, you can't find a job. | ||
| Salaries are very low in Taiwan. | ||
| Real estate is astronomical. | ||
| You think you're never going to have an apartment or a place to live or a decent place to live. | ||
| Well, you just might say, well, this other candidate, say TPP's co, he looks like a normal guy. | ||
| You know, and it's just a change. | ||
| I just want to try something different. | ||
| But when you ask people if they want to be part of the mainland China, I have never seen many people at all. | ||
| In fact, I've never come across anyone who wasn't on the Chinese payroll in one way or another or who wanted to do that. | ||
| Once, in fact, when I was in Taiwan in 2019 living there, I was looking by a subway station. | ||
| I was studying the map to figure out where I was going to go or how I was going to get there. | ||
| And a girl came up, a young lady, She offered to help me get where I was going. | ||
| We started walking along, and she must have been about 25, 26. | ||
| She says, where are you from? | ||
| I said, oh, the United States. | ||
| She says, oh, please don't let us be part of China. | ||
| It's almost heartbreaking when you think of just how Wall Street and our business class couldn't give two hoots if China took over Taiwan. | ||
| In fact, they might even prefer it, but I told her we'd do our best. | ||
| Before I let you go, Colonel, because of the power of your book, where do you think we stand on the kinetic side of this situation with the destroyers in the South China Sea, what's happened with the Philippine Navy? | ||
| Just give us a quick assessment of where do you think we stand with the kinetic part of this war against the CCP? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think China's ready to shoot. | |
| And I think they wouldn't, you can see just by their behavior today, they wouldn't mind killing somebody. | ||
| They brought a fighter jet within 10 feet of a B-52 the other day. | ||
| I think they're ready, as I said, ready to shoot. | ||
| Xi Jinping basically told President Biden something along pretty much the same thing when they met in San Francisco. | ||
| He says, yeah, this talk of peace is all well and good, but at some time we have to settle the Taiwan He used words to that effect. | ||
| And there's been other Chinese of note who've been saying similar things, that America had better support peaceful reunification or else. | ||
| Now they're putting the onus on us. | ||
| And it seems that Xi Jinping does value Taiwan. | ||
| He wants Taiwan more than he wants to have regional peace. | ||
| That's how close I think we are. | ||
| And we'll find out soon enough. | ||
| Why is this, given the financial crisis they have, given they need a bailout, given that they came and obviously Biden kowtowed to them and the 400 traders that gave him a standing ovation at that dinner in San Francisco, our business class, with all the internal issues he's got, why is the reunification of Taiwan of such high importance to a guy like Xi who seems to be able to play his cards pretty smartly? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, if he gets it. | |
| And of course, Taiwan has of course never been part of the PRC or hardly at all with China. | ||
| So the reunification isn't quite the right word, of course, being pedantic here. | ||
| But it's one, it's a distraction, you know, from the problems you have in China. | ||
| It's a way to rally people around the flag. | ||
| And also for him, it is a way to establish his position as one of the greats of Chinese history, who supposedly brought China back to what it was, what it was supposed to be. | ||
| And also, as we've noted, he just sees this as a start. | ||
| But it's, you know, dictators do these sorts of things. | ||
| You know, it often doesn't, it's not quite, it's not how we would do things. | ||
| But to him, it looks very, I think it could look like a rational move to get to move against Taiwan. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| And if you look at, listen, read, actually Xi's speeches to Chinese audiences, particularly internal ones, And he talks very differently than he does when he's speaking to a Western audience. | ||
| And it's very much a sense that, you know, we'll suffer now, but it will be for the sort of ultimate Chinese greatness and also for the ultimate victory of socialism, communism, over capitalism. | ||
| If you look at his domestic speeches, he's telling us what he thinks and what he's going to do. | ||
| And I think like that great guy Jim Lilley used to say, the Chinese always telegraph their bunches. | ||
| We just refuse to listen to them. | ||
| Colonel Newsham, how do they get the book? | ||
| Where do they get to your site to find out any more of your writings? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the book is, of course, available wherever fine books are sold, but on Amazon, it's readily available. | |
| What I write, it's at www.grantnewsham.com, and you can find out everything that I've written in recent times. | ||
| And also, I have a Twitter, which is at Newsham Grant. | ||
| Colonel, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Highly recommended. | |
| Okay, thanks very much. | ||
| No, the book is amazing. | ||
| I love the book. | ||
| When China Attacks, A Warning to America. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back, drill down more on the security risk of what is in front of us with the people of the Republic of China. | ||
| We'll return to the War Room in just a moment. | ||

|
War Room Battlegrounds with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| We're going to do a little bit of a comparison. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Harnwell, since the piece in the Financial Times and other pieces are so important to our election here, and also the movement of populist nationalism throughout the world, and particularly what's happening in Ukraine, I've rescheduled. | ||
| Ben is now going to join us tomorrow morning on the Morning Show, so we'll get to all that. | ||
| I want to go back to Dr. Thayer. | ||
| I have Chris Chen in Taiwan. | ||
| We have Nicole Tsai, who's the head of comms and the spokesperson for the new federal state of China. | ||
| We're going to get our own Colonel John Mills up here in a moment. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, I want to make sure the American audience, our vast U.S. | ||
| audience here, understands the humiliation of the Biden regime It's very worrying, Steve. | ||
| at that meeting, the complete kowtow, and also the business community. | ||
| Put it in perspective exactly what happened there and the signal that sends to both Lao-Beijing and mainland China and what it sends to the freedom loving people in the Republic of China in Taiwan. | ||
| It's very worrying, Steve. | ||
| It's worrying because the Biden administration is touting successes, the fentanyl agreement, progress on climate change, and the restoration of military to military talks. | ||
| All three of those are bad ideas, right? | ||
| The fentanyl agreement is a pie-crust agreement. | ||
| The PRC is gonna break it, of course. | ||
| They'll find a way around it. | ||
| Their use of fentanyl is as a weapon. | ||
| to be to kill the American people, which is what their intent and nothing is going to stop them from doing that. | ||
| And certainly not. | ||
| Whoa, hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | |
| I want to make sure people understand this. | ||
| The pandemic was a bioweapon attack. | ||
| Now, whether inadvertently leaked from the lab or was let out, but the exacerbation by the Chinese Communist Party couldn't be clearer and what they did on PPE could not be clearer. | ||
| So the pandemic was a bioweapon attack. | ||
| Fentanyl is nothing more. | ||
| And this is why it's never crafted the right way by the American media. | ||
| It is a chemical warfare attack upon the United States and the American people. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Am I incorrect in saying that, sir? | ||
| No, it's to kill the American people and demoralize them, to destroy American communities. | ||
| It's a weapon that they're doing everything they can to get into the country. | ||
| So the agreement is a pie crust. | ||
| They're going to break it anyway. | ||
| It's trivial. | ||
| Climate change is just hokum. | ||
| And the mil-to-mil is a way to transfer U.S. | ||
| military knowledge to the People's Republic of China, the People's Liberation Army. | ||
| What Biden gave Xi was very significant, right? | ||
| I mean, it was, in essence, a promise not to exercise regime change against Xi Jinping, which is exactly what we should not do. | ||
| We should be pushing him all his week, and he's in very difficult circumstances, very vulnerable. | ||
| And this is the time to use our leverage against him. | ||
| And then on Taiwan, again, the promises that Biden allegedly received from Xi Jinping not to pressure Taiwan is belied by this entire discussion. | ||
| Of course, the CCP is pressuring Taiwan and is trying to do its utmost to interfere in this election on January 13th of 2024. | ||
| But most of all, the humiliation of the Biden administration was just a doormat. | ||
| Where Xi wiped his feet before he crossed the transom to his meeting his base, the 400 traders, as you call them, the business leaders, including from Pfizer, Boeing, companies that should certainly know better than meeting with this dictator. | ||
| This meeting is not going to end. | ||
| It's not going to age well, Steve, as you well know. | ||
| This is going to come back to haunt everyone who was present at that meeting. | ||
| Where Xi needs to use their political leverage to ensure that the engagement policy of the Biden administration is not stopped. | ||
| Those 400 have incredible political influence on the Hill, in the United States Congress, in media, business communities, etc. | ||
| that Xi wants to use to make sure the money still flows to him, that the New York financial markets and Wall Street trade still continues to flow. | ||
| Despite the best efforts of Ray Dalio to shift the New York Financial Center to UAE, of course, with certain absurdity that you have with Howard's remarks and Ray Dalio's remarks in that respect. | ||
| But Xi wants to ensure that essentially the money keeps flowing, the investment keeps flowing, and those 400 are going to do their level best to keep him in power and to ensure that that money does not change. | ||
| Again, weakening American national security, posing a direct threat to the American people, our national security interests, and our allies and partners like Taiwan. | ||
| So we're worried about the Taiwanese election, but also at the end of the year with the US election, that's the key piece of this puzzle. | ||
| And essentially, we need to stand with Taiwan to ensure that there's a chance of deterrence of the PRC's aggression against it. | ||
| How bad does Xi need a bailout by the 400 and backing off by the U.S. | ||
| government? | ||
| Kind of what they call de-risking is the new cute term, but really a recoupling. | ||
| How bad is Xi right now financially? | ||
| The Ponzi scheme of their banks, the shadow bank industry, which the largest company just went into receivership and now they're Excuse me, investigation against the head, the old CCP method in commercial real estate, the regional banks all upside down. | ||
| How badly does he need a bailout? | ||
| He needs one desperately because the economy is in a downturn and it's a significant downturn and it's likely to only get worse if he doesn't receive essentially the bailout from New York markets and from the Biden administration. | ||
| So this is precisely the time that we should be pressuring him And instead, the Biden administration is continuing the policy of engagement to work with the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China to suppress the Chinese people to serve its aggression and its hyper aggression against the Philippines, against Taiwan, Japan, and the United States itself. | ||
| And to ensure that it remains in power when we should doing our utmost working with people of goodwill around the world and the Chinese diaspora and other actors to ensure that we can eject it from power. | ||
| It's the center of gravity. | ||
| It's the source of evil in the modern world. | ||
| To update Reagan's remarks about the Soviet Union. | ||
| And we have a point, a leverage point to work to evict it from power. | ||
| And instead, the Biden administration is doing everything it can in conjunction with those 400 and so many others. | ||
| to ensure that it remains in power, its tyranny remains. | ||
| And as a consequence, they're simply emboldening the aggression, which Colonel Newsom identified and your other guests and Colonel Mills, I'm sure we'll touch on as well, will ensure that it can aggress against US national security interests, including our partner, Taiwan. | ||
| Let's bring in Colonel Mills right now. | ||
| Colonel, give us an update. | ||
| You've done such a brilliant job of getting this audience up to speed on the defense of Taiwan and the ability to basically fight back any quarantine. | ||
| We've heard nothing, but you read the media about the destroyers in the South China Sea, potential aircraft incidents. | ||
| Where do we actually stand with the CCP's military aggression against the forces of freedom in the South China Sea and around Taiwan? | ||

Thank you, Steve. | |
| Yeah, it's all about pressuring the election on January 13th, and I'll show a map on the next page here. | ||
| But just for everybody to calibrate here, these are the four contenders. | ||
| William Lai, Lai Ching-Ti, but oftentimes known as William or Bill Lai. | ||
| He's the current vice president. | ||
| He has a commanding lead. | ||
| These numbers are actually a little bit dated. | ||
| So he has a commanding lead. | ||
| They do not want him to be president. | ||
| He is definitely Taiwan first. | ||
| So he is a good candidate. | ||
| And now Xiao Bai Kim, who was the ambassador, is his running mate. | ||
| She was going to come to Liberty University to the Dave Bratts CEO conference, but They were busy talking about things, so that was probably working her to be the vice president. | ||
| Ko Wen Ji, Taiwan party, left wing, there's no way they're going to make it. | ||
| Legacy, Ko Ming Dong, totally, they are becoming more and more irrelevant. | ||
| And then the mystery of Terry Gou, who wanted in, came in, and then immediately tapped out, owner of Foxconn, who has a lot of business interests on the on the China. | ||
| But this is the lineup and a growing commanding lead here with Lai Ching-Ti, also known as William Lai or Bill Lai, commanding lead. | ||
| So let's go to the map. | ||
| And this is really, really important to understand what's going on. | ||
| Dr. Thayer mentioned about what's the Philippines and this is really all important and several years ago with the Center for Security Policy and Committee on Present Danger in many ways this was why would you land on Taiwan when you had this beautiful undefended territory down here in northern Luzon? | ||
| So that, you know, now we have a different administration in office in the Philippines that is very, very, wants to be with America, wants to deter China. | ||
| And there is a developing, strong relationship with Taiwan and Japan and South Korea, working all very well together. | ||
| Uh, down here, just, you know, here's Manila down at the very bottom, and then right up here is the classic Subic Bay Naval Base. | ||
| Right over here is where there's a lot of shoving and pushing going on literally right now at the Scarborough Shoals, only 100 miles from here. | ||
| What's been developing over the last couple of months is an agreement between Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea, Huntington of America, the American large shipbuilder, Also, Japan, South Korea, the Ministries of Defense here to potentially reopen this dormant yard to be a major repair facility for the U.S. | ||
| Navy and maybe even creation of being involved in vertical integration of the shipbuilding industry in America. | ||
| Well, the only problem is that's only 100 miles offshore from where China wants to establish essentially new islands. | ||
| So this is getting very seriously. | ||
| So the problem is, to go in and out of Subic Bay, you're going to have to run the gauntlet if they get their missiles there. | ||
| Now, we haven't talked about this a whole lot. | ||
| This gap is about a 500 mile gap between Taiwan and the Philippines. | ||
| And this is where the Chinese Navy will have to get out to the deep open Pacific through here. | ||
| Well, not well known is it's called Botanese Province, which is a string of Filipino islands that go all the way up to about here. | ||
| And it looks like they're being equipped and militarized by joint American-Filipino activities. | ||
| We've also established three new base camps here. | ||
| General Flynn, Commander of Army Forces Pacific, is intimated about long-range missile capabilities. | ||
| And it's very, very possible that our own Club K equivalent of Typhoon and SM-6 in a container Might already be in place here. | ||
| That's a powerful missile combination that can really shut down this gap. | ||
| We put a few undersea cables right here on some of these islands. | ||
| We essentially totally cut off the PLAN from breaking out into the open ocean. | ||
| They're going to have to run this gauntlet. | ||
| It's going to be very difficult if we have any kind of surveillance capabilities and even kinetic capabilities. | ||
| This also secures what, for years, we've been concerned about, the weak left shoulder. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| We're a little pressed for time, but I've got to ask you, this is fascinating, and you can see the chess moves being made, but if we don't have, right now, in the Biden regime, the political will to stand up to him in San Francisco, where we kowtow and basically say, we back down when she talks about The reunification, really the takeover of Taiwan because it's never been part of China. | ||
| And the 400 cheer him and say, hey, the number one priority we have is taking American pension fund savings and capital and get it back into mainland. | ||
| And you have Sequoia Capital sitting there basically giving them advanced artificial intelligence weaponry funded by the American pension funds. | ||
| How can we possibly have the political will to enforce any of this militarily? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's we need Congress to enforce this and make sure that enforce the executive branch take a stand on this. | |
| And you're right. | ||
| And also, there's only so much capacity of the national security staff to make decisions and look at these topics. | ||
| And that's the challenge because Jake Sullivan and much of his team are forward deployed and gutter right now doing the negotiations with Hamas. | ||
| So there's only so much bandwidth on the National Security Council staff. | ||
| So that's a challenge. | ||
| So, you know, hopefully our three branches of government, the legislative branch is able to enforce the executive branch to do what they're supposed to do. | ||
| Yeah, good, good, good luck with that. | ||
| When all we got is the Gallagher committee, which is okay, but not great. | ||
| Colonel, we got to bounce. | ||
| How do people get to all your briefing material? | ||
| How they get to you on social media and your new book? | ||
|

|
Yeah, thank you, Steve. | |
| MoreAgainstTheDeepState.com, MoreAgainstTheDeepState.com, Foundations of the Surveillance State and the Rise of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Branches of Government, Colonel Rhett John, Colonel Rhett John, Substack, Getter, and Truth. | ||
| Colonel, thank you very much. | ||
| Look forward to having you back on. | ||
| We can drill down on this some more. | ||
| Fascinating. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, how do people get to you? | ||
| On X I met Brad Thayer and Getter and Truth at Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Thanks very much, Steve. | ||
| Fantastic, sir. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Look forward to having you back on. | ||
| Nicole, given what you've heard from our experts, how do you think this plays out? | ||
| Right now we're about a month out, a little over a month out. | ||
| I don't know, five or six weeks from this all-important election. | ||
| How do you think this plays out? | ||
| Well, I fully agree with the Colonel's assessment about America's political will to defend Taiwan. | ||
| I just saw a most recent survey about the Taiwanese people's sentiment. | ||
| Only 34% of the Taiwanese people believe that the U.S. | ||
| is a trustworthy partner when it comes to Providing security assistance for Taiwan's self-defense against the CCP's invasion. | ||
| So that number shows a lot about the level of confidence that Taiwanese people place in the Biden administration, because we know that Biden has been talking about sending troops to Taiwan, but actually in the defense appropriation funding, Taiwan did not get its fair share. | ||
| So I think that I urge this Congress to pressure The Biden administration to increase the military and security assistance for Taiwan, because Taiwan is a shining example of the Chinese people's freedom. | ||
| And also, Taiwan is an important partner in the Indo-Pacific, and we cannot afford to lose Taiwan to the CCP's aggression. | ||
| So I fully agree that Congress needs to take bigger steps. | ||
| Nicole, social media, how do people get to you and all the great material and content you're putting up at New Federal State? | ||
| Follow us on NFSC Speaks on Twitter and NFSC Speak on Getter, and also I want to thank you, Mr. Steve K. Bannon. | ||
| Tennessee and across the Taiwan Strait. | ||
| Nicole, social media, how do people get to you and all the great material and content you're putting up at New Federal State? | ||
| Follow us on NFSC Speaks on Twitter and NFSC Speak on Getter. | ||
| And also I want to thank you, Mr. Steve K. Bannon. | ||
| In the last Taiwan presidential election, you, together with Mao Zedong, exposed the CCP's plan to corrupt the last presidential election, that is, installing the terror guard as CCP's proxy. | ||
| And so that failed. | ||
| And so that speaks to the volume about how important the truth media is to deter the CCP's aggression and influence peddling on Taiwan's election. | ||
| Thank you for all you do. | ||
| Well, thank you, and this is why Miles Guo was so important. | ||
| And Miles, trust me, this Terry Guo thing didn't happen out of nowhere. | ||
| He's nothing but a running dog for the CCP now that he's out. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| Nicole, thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Chris Chen, can you give us some closing words, thoughts to the American people? | ||
| How should we be approaching this all-important election in Taiwan on the 13th of January? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Taiwan doesn't want to be controlled by the CCP. | |
| Taiwan doesn't want to be included under the CCP. | ||
| Taiwan wants to be independent from the CCP, and we need support from the world, and the people in Taiwan, we will hold the line, go against the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We will make the right choice. | ||
| Chris, do you have social medias anywhere people can follow you? | ||
|

Yeah, like the New Federal State of China's channel or the New Federal State of China Taiwan Farm channel. | |
