| 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, we got another man on the street interview. | ||
| This is Joseph. | ||
| So Joseph, thank you so much. | ||
| So what brought you to the rally tonight? | ||
| DPP support, the DPP and our democracy. | ||
| Okay, so you're here to support the DPP and democracy. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So what's the biggest issue in the election for you? | ||
| I think it's the fact that out of all three candidates, Mr. Kerr and Mr. Ho, they're basically painting pictures. | ||
| They're basically, you know what they're like? | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| They're like the Democratic Party of the United States. | ||
| They're full of crap. | ||
| They're just full of it and they're painting pictures that they cannot fulfill. | ||
| So you had to come all the way to Taiwan to learn that the Democrats are full of crap. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Very good. | ||
| And so what do you think? | ||
| Should Taiwan be independent or should be part of China? | ||
| I'm not against a united Taiwan-China. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| The only time that you can have... | ||
| Unity is under a peaceful democratic society. | ||
| If you cannot have that, then you're risking the lives. | ||
| People don't realize that you're risking. | ||
| Look at the examples in Hong Kong, Tibet, and all these people. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| The media is just so terrible. | ||
| It's like President Trump said. | ||
| It's fake media. | ||
| And you're not Fulfilling your obligation. | ||
| News used to be reporting, now it's all propaganda and brainwashing. | ||
| And the young people of this generation, you don't realize what's going on. | ||
| What the KMT is promising you, and what Mr. Kerr is promising you, they can't fulfill it. | ||
| Look, we have supply chain use all over the world after COVID. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Our unit, my daughter, she works at the IRS. | ||
| She can't buy a house either. | ||
| So it's not the problems in Taiwan. | ||
| This is, this age, this society, how are you going to come and go, you know, go... People now, it's just like what the Bible says, in the last days, nobody wants to work. | ||
| They're lovers of themselves. | ||
| Wow, amen, amen, Joseph. These are some powerful words, powerful words. And I'm with Joseph here at the DPP rally. So thank you, War Room Posse. We'll be right back. Oh, absolutely, Joseph. | ||
| And as a matter of fact, when I get back to New York, I'll be starting my campaign for Congressional District 6 in New York for congressmen. | ||
| Hey, this is a cam—right here, Joseph. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So New York six right here. | ||
| This is the man right here. | ||
| So you heard it first on war room. | ||
| Thank you, Joseph. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You're going to be shocked over the next couple of weeks. | ||
| It's Monday, eight, uh, eight, January year over 2024. | ||
| We're kicking off next Monday. | ||
| A week from today is the caucus, Iowa caucus. | ||
| But before that is the kickoff to 2024, the monumental Election in in Taiwan and you're gonna have a lot we're gonna have a lot of reports from people That you would think you were at a MAGA rally, right? | ||
| There's a commonality of folks because they're at the cutting edge in the front line where you have You know the Chinese Communist Party all over them I think Taiwan's 90 miles away the Straits of Taiwan about 90 miles and she has said Hey reunification is gonna happen and he's told people he told Biden this right to his face with no pushback now Frank Gaffney came on this morning, and I've got a lot of regard for Frank, working with him for many, many decades. | ||
| He was in the Defense Department during Reagan. | ||
| I was there as a young naval officer coming out of the fleet where we had patrolled the South China Sea and the East China Sea and pulled into Taiwan and Hong Kong many, many times. | ||
| That was basically our patrol area until we got called in the second deployment over to the, wait for it, Persian Gulf and the North Arabian Sea because of the hostage crisis when the Mullahs, who are now the partners of the CCP, took the American embassy. | ||
| The CCP's been at work in all that time and all those years to consolidate their power and become the hegemon on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| And this week, this Saturday night, is going to be the opening salvo if a free and determined people can stay free and determined, and that is the folks in the Republic of China, the Free Republic of China and Taiwan. | ||
| We've got John Mills, Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| I want to start, do we have Nicole? | ||
| Nicole, I want to talk about the new federal state. | ||
| We'll play some footage later. | ||
| I'm so thankful they met Colonel Mills at the airport. | ||
| Colonel Mills is going to be our on-the-ground reporter. | ||
| We have tons of support from New Federal State. | ||
| Give me your assessment of the New Federal State and the patriots of Lao Bajing that are fighting the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| How big a deal is this election at Taiwan on Saturday night, ma'am, or on Saturday? | ||
| Well, it is a big deal for the Taiwanese people because people know that what's on the ballot is not about the economy. | ||
| But Taiwan's freedom and democracy, Taiwan is a vibrant democracy. | ||
| This year, more than 19.5 million people have registered to vote, and they're going to have to choose between either a temporary economic benefits of a closer tie with Beijing promised by KMT, which is a pro-Beijing party, and also the TPP, another Beijing-friendlier party, or having Taiwan's independence from the CCP, but they all have to face the risk of saber-rattling from the | ||
| People's Liberation Army. But I think the people in Taiwan are determined to keep their democracy vibrant. And we're already telling people that the CCP has been sending balloons equipped with weapon systems for military reconnaissance and even for bombing. | ||
| And right now we have seen more than 23 CCP balloons surrounding Taiwan, including dozens of fighter jets and warships. | ||
| Now they're all surrounding Taiwan. | ||
| So I think that Taiwan is on the front line. | ||
| They're not just voting for their own democracy, but also preserving America's key interest in Indo-Pacific. | ||
| And we're so grateful that Wurrum sent Colonel John Mill on the ground, and it shows great support for the warren policies in Taiwan, because people in Taiwan are actually inspired by the warren policy. They're going to vote for the Taiwan first agenda, just like people in this country voting for America first agenda. | ||
| Talk to me a brief before I go to Colonel Mills and Dr. Thayer. | ||
| New Federal State in China. | ||
| I'm so glad and we've got some still photographs. | ||
| I'll play the video later. | ||
| Kind enough to go and meet and meet Colonel Mills. | ||
| They're going to be our official translators and take him around this week. | ||
| What is New Federal State in Taiwan? | ||
| Has it gotten traction with the Taiwanese people? | ||
| Do they understand that there are folks here in the United States that have their back and have Lao Bajing's back in this whole concept of taking down the CCP? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| We have so many followers in Taiwan from the new federal state of China, and we have millions of fans of The War Room. | ||
| They watch your show and they understand that, you know, America First represents also the interest of the Taiwan First. | ||
| And so that's why people are so happy to see Colonel General Mills on the ground and to be part of this very important movement for the Taiwanese people. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play. | ||
| I want to play this clip. | ||
| It came in late last night, but it said everything about the giving nature of the Chinese people and the new federal state. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play it as Colonel Mills arrived. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome everyone. | |
| This is a great greeting to Taiwan. | ||
| We've got a great new federal state of China team here to meet me, and it's just absolutely awesome. | ||
| We've got Chris and Doug and everybody. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Welcome to Taiwan, John. | ||
| Welcome. | ||
| Welcome. | ||
| You know, this just gave me a night. | ||
| Nicole, I wish we had had New Federal State have a greeting party for Joe Allen at CES. | ||
| I'd feel much more comfortable if we had our Chinese brothers and sisters as the escort and translator for Joe Allen, because him by himself in Vegas, I've got problems. | ||
| Let me bring in Colonel Mills for a second. | ||
| Colonel, that was quite a greeting by the New Federal State folks last night. | ||
| Give me give me impressions of your first day on the ground there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, thank you, Steve. | |
| Absolutely awesome support from New Federal State of China. | ||
| Couldn't do it without them. | ||
| You know, that's what these are. | ||
| These are the people on the ground with blood, sweat and equity in the game. | ||
| And it's just wonderful to be here. | ||
| I was just surprised at the DPP rallies, the energy level, and it kind of broke several narratives because The narrative was older people really were leading KMT, but it was a lot. | ||
| It was very, very wide diversity at the DPP rally and lots of old people saying they want independence. | ||
| They used the word independence. | ||
| I didn't prompt them for that. | ||
| They wanted and they didn't say many said, We did easily 30, 40 on the ground interviews just and the energy was intense. | ||
| And then people say, we don't we don't need to ask permission to be our own country. | ||
| We are already our own country. | ||
| So I think it broke several narratives and the energy at the rally last night at Key Lung was just incredible. | ||
| And that gentleman, Joseph, is also running. | ||
| There's a number of Taiwanese Americans dual status who are flying back here to vote. | ||
| I was just shocked at that number. | ||
| Many came back here just to vote and they want a new country. | ||
| They don't want to have to ask permission for it. | ||
| So it was just inspiring. | ||
| There's one candidate. | ||
| There was another rally we went to and his name is ready. | ||
| It's Wang Yip Trump. | ||
| Yang, yep, Trump. | ||
| He actually goes, his last name's a little bit different, but he just, his last name, he's just absorbed Trump. | ||
| And we'll find that picture of, it's just awesome. | ||
| It's just the energy is there. | ||
| And we went to the election bureau, very impressed with them. | ||
| I'm an election official in my own county in Prince William, very impressed with them. | ||
| And I told them, and I've given testimony in several court cases, I'm about to give more testimony, as Taiwan is the model for a transparent, clear election. | ||
| Is that, do we know that, or what's your confidence that the CCP, because they're going to try, this election's everything for them. | ||
| This is really a referendum on Xi. | ||
| I mean, if they're to lose this, if DPP wins, this is a huge loss of face for Xi. | ||
| Isn't there concern there in the country about people, about the CCP being into the formal apparatus of the election apparatus, that they could try to steal this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, and there was one, I think it's clip 77, one individual who was there for the KMT, might have been, but they were from the mainland. | |
| It was very interesting. | ||
| It might be there was eyes and ears for the mainland. | ||
| But yeah, I think that's a grave concern, but they have a spirit of honesty, transparency, A void of graft and corruption. | ||
| Graft and corruption is considered shameful. | ||
| I'm not saying it doesn't happen here, but just kind of like Singapore, they have a very negative view of that. | ||
| So they try to be honest and transparent, as opposed to 2020, where the Chinese were very aggressive. | ||
| Until Xi's comment over the last few days, they were kind of playing quiet and playing rope-a-dope. | ||
| To kind of just not bring up the issue. | ||
| She's over the top comments the other day, I think can only help the DPP. | ||
| Let's get back. | ||
| I want to get back to these comments in a second. | ||
| Let me bring Dr. Thayer to join Nicole and Colonel Mills. | ||
| Doctor, I want to go back and kind of set this because for people who don't follow this, they may come in and say they're kind of confused. | ||
| They say, well, I don't know a lot about Chinese and Taiwanese history. | ||
| But the Ko Ming Tang, I thought, was Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang's and they were supported by the United States and she was held up as, you know, a, I think she was Christian and held up as a, she made a number of tours of the United States and was a media star. | ||
| She's on the cover of Time Magazine. | ||
| And the DPP, how did the Ko Ming Tang, how did the KMT, get to be the pro-CCP party. | ||
| Its history and roots are that that's the Nationalist Army under Chiang Kai-shek that actually withdrew from China and took over and came to, at that time I guess, Formosa, which became Taiwan. | ||
| How are we in a situation that this vote this week, DPP, which is a pretty liberal or progressive party about its domestic policies, how are they the anti-CCP party and how's the Nationalist Party the pro-CCP party? | ||
| Well, two points with respect to the KMT party. | ||
| First, you're exactly right that they were fiercely anti-communist, as it was Chiang Kai-shek's party when he fled to Formosa, to Taiwan in 1949, when the communists won the mainland. | ||
| But the first point is that there's still an element in the KMT that sees and desires to have control, if you will, over the mainland. | ||
| There's still a tie that's present there. | ||
| And Steve, you need to keep in mind, of course, as the audience does, that the PRC never controlled Taiwan, right? | ||
| So any talk of unification that Xi launches is absolutely illegitimate. | ||
| PRC never controlled Hang on, hang on. | ||
| He uses this phrase that is propaganda. | ||
| He talks about reunification, that they're there for reunification. | ||
| There's no reunification since it's never been unified at all. | ||
| It's never been a province of China, correct? | ||
| And certainly not under CCP rule. | ||
| For about 200 years under the Qing dynasty, from about 1683 to 1895, when the Japanese took control of Formosa, Taiwan, when they defeated the Chinese dynasty, the Qing dynasty, The second key point, though, Steve, is that there's infiltration, of course. | ||
| Remember, Joseph Wu, the Taiwanese foreign minister, gave that interview to Le Monde. | ||
| The French major French newspaper just over a week ago, where he said that the PRC was interfering in the election, and he identified four ways that they were interfering in the election through cyber, through infiltration, through economic pressures on these parties, and then also through misinformation. | ||
| And we should also include in that deep fakes, right? | ||
| There's a way that artificial intelligence and deep fakes might be added to that as well. | ||
| So the PRC definitely favors the KMT and its election. | ||
| Now the DPP on the other side of that coin, of course, is the DPP have been far more independent, right, to seek If not fully proclaiming independence, working to maintain Taiwan as a de facto, as it is, a de facto independent state. | ||
| And so from the perspective of the interests of the United States and those of us who are fighting the PRC, a DPP victory would certainly advance that, would be a great victory in the war against the PRC. | ||
| But we want to keep in mind, of course, the PRC also is interested in chaos. | ||
| As Lenin said of Tsarist Russia, the worse the better. | ||
| The more confusion, the more problems, the more doubts, the better it was for the Bolsheviks, for the Communists. | ||
| There's an element of that here too, Steve. | ||
| The PRC, if it can't get what it wants, Which would be a KMT victory. | ||
| It would be to have confusion, doubt, cast doubts on the legitimacy of the election, right? | ||
| We need to keep in mind we're on the run-up to the election. | ||
| The election is going to be on Saturday, January 13th, and then there's going to be the post-election phase where you're going to really fight a new war, right? | ||
| Where the PRC is going to try new tricks Coercive measures. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just to set the ground, we have a national election for president and all the executive branch, but there's also a legislative election also. | ||
| One of the things PRC is trying to do is if they were to lose, if they can't push KMT over the top and DPP wins and even some coalition can't top them, is to at least control some sort of either sizable minority or even majority of the of the delegates of the legislature to then block to kind of have a standoff where they can start to do these measures for their own defense. Isn't that one of the great concerns here is that that I mean this is a complicated election there's tons of money going | ||
| This is a very sophisticated electorate. | ||
| These people are well-read. | ||
| They stay on top of the news. | ||
| The CCP's using very advanced propaganda on this, and also in addition to the tools you talked about. | ||
| But this election is, we have a legislative election, too, and we in War Room, we're not going to lose track of that. | ||
| Even Pottinger, I think Pottinger's quoted in the Wall Street Journal, one of the things that I've been saying for a while. | ||
| That just DPP winning the presidency is just, don't be patting yourself on the back Saturday night because you've got to make sure these legislative, and as folks know, and this is what I keep saying about the Chinese ruling themselves, the Taiwan legislature every now and again will break out in a fistfight. | ||
| I mean, these people are very, they're very focused on democracy, right? | ||
| They have, this is like the old House of Commons back, you know, 400, 500 years ago. | ||
| Your thoughts about that, Dr. Thayer? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| The legislative election is another piece of the puzzle, and it's equally important. | ||
| And the PRC's got its thumb on the scale in that election as well. | ||
| So that's a very important element to keep in mind. | ||
| Steve, you also want to bear, we want to be cognizant too, that the tools that they'll be employing, and they are employing, the PRC's employing against Taiwan, they're also going to do to us. | ||
| in our presidential election. So the same tools that Wu identified, but also the AI, the deep fakes, as well as the cyber economic pressure, misinformation, and infiltration, of course, are all tools that they'll be employing in our presidential. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Big time. 100%. | ||
| This is why we got Mills over there with that intelligence background, because they're going to look at this as a run-up of what they do. | ||
| Nicole, let me go to you for a minute. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't even this whole process a loss for the CCP and for Xi? | ||
| Because the argument they make, because I asked business executives and hedge fund people and other governments, I said, how can you guys sit there? | ||
| And we have one of the most ancient civilizations that's given the world so much with some of the best people in the world. | ||
| It's 1.4 billion. | ||
| And they're running a gulag. | ||
| And the whole business community kind of looks the other way in business with them. | ||
| And what they say is that, oh, well, the Chinese people are too emotional. | ||
| They're too immature. | ||
| They're not ready for democracy. | ||
| They can't govern themselves. | ||
| You need a strong father figure like the CCP to do it. | ||
| Isn't the intensity of this election, and quite frankly, the sophistication we're seeing of how people approach this, isn't that in and of itself a major loss to Xi? | ||
| Because it takes away the lie that the Chinese people can't govern themselves. | ||
| You nail it. | ||
| And this is the reason why that since Taiwan has its first democratic election in 1996, the CCP has never stopped using military coercion and economical coercion Tried to deter the Taiwanese people from going out to vote. | ||
| And we know that hundreds of millions of people inside China, they're using the VPN to bypass the internet firewall to watch Taiwanese election. | ||
| And also I want to tell the Wall Room policy that in 2020, Taiwanese presidential election, the turnout is 75% compared with the US presidential election in 2020, which is 66%. | ||
| And that's how vibrant Taiwanese democracy is. | ||
| And also I want to add that, you know, you were talking about why there are so many people, Taiwanese American citizens in this country are flying over to Taiwan to vote. | ||
| I mean, because in Taiwan, they don't accept a mail-in ballot. | ||
| People have to fly. | ||
| So I want to make a comment on that. | ||
| all the votes will be counted by hand. | ||
| And they don't use Dominion voting machines. | ||
| And there was no J6 storming incidents because that election process is fair and is undisputable. | ||
| So I wanna make a comment on that. | ||
| And also three weeks before the election day, which is upcoming in five days, Beijing has announced the cut on the tariff for the chemical imports from Taiwan. | ||
| And that is a blatant economical coercion because they're always targeting the Taiwan businesses and agriculture business, which usually tend to support the DPP. | ||
| And then they're trying to drive the wedge between the DPP supporters to the election because they will blame the DPP for causing stagnant economy because Beijing is going to cut practicing sanctions on the Taiwan imports. | ||
| So that is a typical way of CCP's playbook of interfering with the Taiwanese election. | ||
| Well, you know, the great Myles Guo, I remember Myles in 2019, he said, and this is a guy that I never really quite trusted, was Terry Guo, the businessman with the big, with the Apple. | ||
| He does, he did all the basic nuts and bolts work for Apple. | ||
| He was going to build this huge factory in the United States that never came to fruition. | ||
| He said, hey, look, that guy is totally dependent upon the CCP for his business. | ||
| When he started to run, I think he was running in the Kuomintang primary, he said, if this guy gets it, it's going to be a total surrender to the CCP. | ||
| And of course, we worked with people in Taiwan and made sure they were enlightened about the topics. | ||
| And Terry Guo lost in that primary. | ||
| He didn't try to run again. | ||
| My point is that the CCP understands that this is a big humiliation for them. | ||
| This shows you that the Chinese people, and intense debate, I mean, and I'll get to, we'll take a short break here and I'll come back to Mills and the Thayer. | ||
| The debates were, you know, and people say, well, Steve, you guys blow it out of proportion. | ||
| They're really not concerned that much with the CCP takeover. | ||
| They're really concerned about the economy, freedom, this military situation, whether they have to pay for it or not, the concerns of people throughout the world when they vote. | ||
| And I go, well, hold it. | ||
| That's a victory for us. | ||
| We just want these free elections. | ||
| We want people. | ||
| And we want to put to the lie that the Chinese people can't govern themselves. | ||
| It looks to me like the Taiwan election is going to be pretty hard fought, pretty tough. | ||
| Now, I think that the guys that we support, the DPP, as I said, we don't support them all the way because there's a lot of the domestic policies that just are not kind of the free market capitalism we like. | ||
| I think they're much more progressive on certain social issues. | ||
| But it's a robust debate. | ||
| I mean, this is going to come down hard fought and you're going to have horse trading. | ||
| There's a third party that's running that I'm sure a guy's going to be trying to cut deals with. | ||
| This legislature is very important. | ||
| But that's democracy. | ||
| What you're seeing in Taiwan right now is a free people fighting for their own freedom and the consent of the governed. | ||
| This puts to a lie. | ||
| Every businessman you talk to, everybody talks to, they look the other way and they look down the floor. | ||
| Oh, well, the Chinese people are too immature. | ||
| You know, they need the strong hand of the CCP. | ||
| And I go, that's a bald-faced lie. | ||
| I said, they've been selling that lie. | ||
| Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, they've been selling that lie for 70 years, 80 years. | ||
| And it's convenient for the business community to accept it. | ||
| It's a total lie. | ||
| And you know where you proved the lie? | ||
| In Taiwan. | ||
| We're going to return. | ||
| We've got Colonel Mills. | ||
| We've got Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| We've got Nicole from the New Federal State of China. | ||
| Brian Costello is going to join us about the stealing of money, the pension money to fund the CCP. | ||
| All of it next in the War Room. | ||

Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Oh Okay, a couple of announcements. | ||
| By the way, following this tonight, the opening of the Lou Dobbs show, I'm so honored. | ||
| I never thought in my entire life I would ever be the opening act for Lou Dobbs, but here on Lyndale TV, Channel One, Lou is going to start, kick off his show tonight with a pretty special guest. | ||
| It's going to be Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States. | ||
| So he's going to, Lou's going to kick off with a special interview. | ||
| It's extraordinary. | ||
| I've seen some of the footage of it. | ||
| But it's pretty historic. | ||
| The Lou Dobbs Show returns to television on Lyndale TV tonight, so make sure you watch it. | ||
| It's an hour long. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| We're so blessed to have Lou Dobbs, to have Lou Dobbs back. | ||
| It's just absolutely incredible. | ||
| Also, Jim Rickards, I know a lot of you guys know the name and know the person. | ||
| They're now a new sponsor of The War Room, the newsletter Strategic Intelligence. | ||
| Jim was a guy that came out with a book that got me fascinated about this entire thing, even though I'd gone to Harvard Business School and gone to Goldman Sachs. | ||
| I really hadn't, because I was in mergers and acquisitions, kind of the rough and tumble of investment banking, I hadn't really focused that much on currency, and particularly currency, the battle between nations on its currency. | ||
| His book, Currency War, got me fascinated about that. | ||
| So I've been a huge fan for, I don't know, 15 years. | ||
| Just an incredible guy. | ||
| I've known him a long time. | ||
| And we're very blessed to have him in his newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. | ||
| Go check it out today. | ||
| This guy's at the absolutely cutting edge of thinking about the world, geopolitics, the geostrategic realignment that's going on with the BRICS nations, all of it. | ||
| So make sure you go to Strategic Intelligence today. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| We're trying to give you access to information to immerse yourself in. | ||
| So go check it out today. | ||
| Jim Rickards joins us. | ||
| And actually, Jim's going to be on the show tomorrow for an interview, I think in the 11 o'clock hour. | ||
| We're going to have Jim on and pick his brain on all these topics that are going on right now. | ||
| So I know you guys are going to appreciate that. | ||
| Also, stick around for Lou Dobbs Historic, the return of the Lou Dobbs Show tonight at 7 p.m. | ||
| Eastern Standard Time right here on Lyndell TV. | ||
| And actually, it's going to be in the John Fredericks Radio Network also. | ||
| Nicole, I want to make sure, before we leave you, is that, because you're going to be on every night for our coverage here, this election is so important. | ||
| It's so important, not just for the people in Taiwan, and not just for our brothers and sisters in Lao Bajing in mainland China, for their freedom. | ||
| It's important for the United States and for the entire world. | ||
| But I don't want to lose fact, which most people are just focusing on the presidential election. | ||
| Critically important. | ||
| Obviously, one of the reasons that they're, but they're electing essentially for people in the United States, their Congress at the same time. | ||
| It's a national election. | ||
| Just give me a thought or two about how important and particularly for the CCP that doesn't have democracy on mainland China. | ||
| They know a lot about how to cause chaos in a democracy. | ||
| Talk to us about the CCP's involvement in these parliamentary elections. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| According to our whistleblowers from our China sources, Xi Jinping sent a special envoy to Taiwan and trying to cut a deal between the two friendlier to Beijing party, which is TPP and KMT, Kuomintang, trying to combine their votes to control the legislative house. | ||
| and to defeat the DPP so that Taiwan will have a divided government because they're pretty sure that they cannot defeat William Lai from the presidential race because he's been leading all the polls, William Lai. So Xi Jinping is trying to control the house. And so that's why they're also trying to use the economic coercion to tell the Taiwanese people that only the KMT, | ||
| the Kuomintang and the TPP can create economic prosperity for the Taiwanese people because the CCP will not place sanctions on Taiwan imports from counties and from businesses that are supporting the KMT or the TPP. | ||
| And so that's why I urge the Wall Room policy, please buy more Taiwanese pineapple and made-in-Taiwan products to support the Taiwanese people's economic independence from the CCP. | ||
| And also, I urge the Wall Room policy, please ask your elected officials to decouple from the CCP economically, because economic engagement means economic vulnerability and that's how they're going to control the House and control the local politics. | ||
| So that's why I think the coupling message is critically important for the US election as well. | ||
| Look, Biden understands Trump's tariffs, Peter Navarro that did them for Trump, the tariffs are staying on. | ||
| Axios just broke that last week and the Biden administration doesn't want to talk about why it's creating jobs and opportunities in the United States. | ||
| Now, it's one of the tips of the spear, the decoupling, which Biden clearly doesn't want to do because he's owned by the CCP. | ||
| But for this election, he understands he's got to keep those tariffs up. | ||
| The CCP, for not believing in democracy, they know exactly the buttons you have to push in elections about economics. | ||
| All elections at the end of the day are local about economics. | ||
| They know. | ||
| They're very sophisticated about what they do. | ||
| And this is why it's so important of what Dr. Thayer and John Mills said. | ||
| This is all a test case for what they're going to do here in the United States to try to interfere in the 2024 election. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, before we let you go, talk to me one more time. | ||
| Our coverage here is wall to wall on this. | ||
| The importance of what's going to happen on Saturday and how it would impact the rest of the year's elections throughout the world, including the European Union, for the European Union's parliamentary elections, and I think in May or June, and then in the presidential election, this massively important presidential election in November. | ||
| Well, Taiwan really is starting a year which is going to have so many important elections. | ||
| Half the world population is going to vote. | ||
| There are elections in 60 countries. | ||
| Including, of course, Taiwan, but then also Russia, India, the EU parliamentary elections, Steve, that you mentioned, of course, US presidential elections and UK, very likely UK elections, either in the spring or in the autumn. | ||
| So it's going to be a very dynamic year. | ||
| We're going to see a lot of change in international politics, but Taiwan is starting it. | ||
| And Taiwan is absolutely essential. | ||
| As the audience needs to understand, Nicole stressed, Taiwan shows what China could be, what the People's Republic of China, what China could be if the communists had not come to power. | ||
| It shows really how vibrant the Chinese people are and how they can live under democracy. | ||
| Taiwan's also important because of its economy, right? | ||
| Because not only is it a very large economy, but it's a world chip producing economy. | ||
| Our economy depends on Taiwan's product, their chips. | ||
| It's also thirdly really important because it's a key geopolitical real estate. | ||
| Taiwan bottles up Chinese military power, particularly when Taiwan is wedded to Japan and the Philippines, backed by the US. | ||
| That's a big, very important space that the U.S. | ||
| needs to control. | ||
| And it can also offer key bases for U.S. | ||
| intelligence and allied intelligence and military bases as well. | ||
| So these elections matter. | ||
| Taiwan matters to all Americans for those economic reasons, the political reasons, and the military and geostrategic reasons. | ||
| First of all, if the CCP controlled the advanced ship design of Taiwan, you'd have a 25% impact on the American economy immediately. | ||
| That's probably one of the reasons. | ||
| They want it for a whole number of reasons, but they see the direct impact. | ||
| Colonel Mills, walk me through just the logistics. | ||
| Spend a couple of minutes of how this is going to roll out throughout the week. | ||
| You're there on the ground. | ||
| You've got great support for the new federal state. | ||
| We've got translators, all of it. | ||
| Just walk us through what people can look forward to this week. | ||
|

|
Well, there's going to be a number of rallies and assemblies shortly after this. | |
| I'm going to both the DPP official press conference and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference, and then meeting with a colleague I used to work with over here. | ||
| So that's what's going to happen. | ||
| On the left, also, it looks like we're going to be able to visit a TSMC plant. | ||
| So that's really looking forward to that. | ||
| There's also going to go to a KMT route. | ||
| Just for folks, let them know, that's Taiwan Semiconductor. | ||
| So for you to go get a tour there is quite extraordinary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| 80% chance everybody has something with a Taiwan chip in it. | ||
| It's just something in the water. | ||
| When I was an official business over here, I never could figure it out. | ||
| They just are the, they're the Swiss clockmakers. | ||
| They're the world's best. | ||
| Yeah, they're good. | ||
| So then Saturday's the election. | ||
| And then, you know, Saturday afternoon local, we should have, you know, Get this, they're actually going to have the count and have it done and we'll know the outcome late Saturday afternoon over here. | ||
| Nicole said something. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Nicole said something very important. | |
| Go to Costco. | ||
| There's a lot of, they make chips. | ||
| They make a lot of pineapple products. | ||
| Costco is taking a lot of heat for carrying a lot of Taiwanese food products. | ||
| Hey, go there and support them. | ||
| I've given Costco some heat, their general counsel over them carrying the DJI drone. | ||
| I'm hoping they're going to neck that off and stop that. | ||
| I think it's a corporate liability, but they do are very fair and they're carrying a lot of Taiwanese product and it really annoys China. | ||
| What's going on over here is a window into what they're going to do to us in the fall, and one of the key things that's been mentioned here is TikTok. | ||
| TikTok is their psyop too, and many, many local citizens mention TikTok. | ||
| And it's toxic, it's cancerous, and that's one of the things we've got to get the Biden team to really terminate is the presence of TikTok. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| It is digital fentanyl. | ||
| It's going to be huge in this coming election in the United States. | ||
| We've got to get on that. | ||
| What a great way to segue to Brian Costello. | ||
| Brian, give the audience the bad news here. | ||
| I want to talk about the infiltration into our financial system, into things like the TikToks, things like Sequoia Capital. | ||
| But really, why our politicians are being bought off and people are looking the other way. | ||
| There should be massive investigations on this immediately. | ||
| You've done, and Colonel Harvey, done an incredible job of exposing this. | ||
| Where do we stand in all this? | ||
| Yeah, I couldn't have picked a better segue, Steve. | ||
| Both TikTok and DGI are both funded by Sequoia. | ||
| So there was some huge news over the break, Steve, which speaks to exactly what you're talking about. | ||
| I don't know if you covered this. | ||
| It was released Christmas weekend, but the DOJ dropped the China bribery and public corruption charges against SPF and FTX, which is astounding, right? | ||
| And their excuse for dropping those was, well, he's already going to jail for a long time. | ||
| This would prolong everything. | ||
| I will tell you right now, you don't execute a bribe in China with just one person. | ||
| So he undoubtedly had co-conspirators. | ||
| And you also don't become the largest public donor into Washington. | ||
| Without co-conspirators as well, too. | ||
| So there's a lot of people getting off as part of this. | ||
| But hang on, but hang on, but hang on. | ||
| Make sure, I want to make sure people, don't use the jargon, I want to make sure people, this is Sam Bankman Freeman, this is why we have you on today. | ||
| There was a massive case of money laundering and bribery and all that, dealing with the CCP directly to American politicians. | ||
| He was like the middleman. | ||
| That entire DOJ, which would never drop anything like this, Garland's DOJ dropped it. | ||
| They dropped it because they didn't want the exposure of those people taking money through SBF and probably by the CCP. | ||
| And just like Sequoia Capital, 95% of it was going to Democrats and quite frankly progressive Democrats where they gave a little bit of money to Republicans. | ||
| I think he had a partner that shoved a little bit of money to the Republicans. | ||
| It's the same exact thing as Sequoia Capital. | ||
| They give the bulk of the money. | ||
| Moritz and these guys give the bulk of the money to progressive Democrats. | ||
| They throw enough to McCarthy and to a couple of other guys in the Republican Party to kind of buy their silence, but most of it goes to progressive Democrats. | ||
| This, and we're going to cause a firestorm in this. | ||
| A lot of guys in Congress are very upset about this. | ||
| This action's only a drop for now, and I will tell you, and let me put you on warning, the day we take over, this investigation with the new Attorney General is going to start again. | ||
| Now, our mission is to start it now, because this is one of the biggest scandals. | ||
| Basically, SBF is just getting off for how he ripped off his investors and all that. | ||
| Nothing about the public corruption part of this, and there's not a chance in hell That DOJ would ever do this with anybody else. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| They take on cases one millionth smaller than this. | ||
| Brian Costello. | ||
| Yeah, his mother, his mother, his mother, right, runs Mind the Gap, a big Democratic donor pack. | ||
| You got Maxine Waters, who is chairman of the House Financial Services, who's supposed to oversee the SEC, who looked the other way on FTX. | ||
| Blowing him kisses on video, right? | ||
| I mean, it's, it's obscene, Steve. | ||
| But what, what, and, and I don't know if Denver has this, but I laid out what you're seeing very, very clearly is a pattern of conduct with Biden and the Department of Justice, where you have, you know, when he first came into office, and this is on my Twitter, if people can't see it. | ||
| When he first came into office, they immediately dropped the charges that Trump had brought against Xiaomi. | ||
| Uh, and put them off the military blacklist, a big cell phone maker. | ||
| I have good sources told me that the DOJ was handed information to keep that going and they decided to drop it anyway. | ||
| You've got, uh, you know, his special counsel, slow walking Biden corruption charges at the DOJ. | ||
| You've got, uh, the, uh, the Colonel brought up TikTok. | ||
| You know, TikTok is supposed to be under investigation for spying on journalists. | ||
| And I'll tell you right now, Steve, if they can spy through the device, it wasn't just journalists. | ||
| There's very, very heavy rumors that they're actually spying on congressional offices using the same technology on the phone, right? | ||
| You've got the DOJ and SEC. | ||
| Didi lost billions of dollars right when it went public. | ||
| And by the way, Didi was a prior Biden investment, that there was a bunch of fraud allegations and even the Democrats were asking him no investigation. | ||
| You've got these FTX bribery charges dropped. | ||
| You've got obviously we've covered on the show Sequoia, you know, funding companies like DGI and TikTok and under congressional investigation by Gallagher and the CCP committee now that you got the NSC warning them and not pursuing any, you know, Title 18 charges despite many of them being laid out. | ||
| And you have the end of the DOJ China program. | ||
| Like you can't you can't make this up. | ||
| It seems like You know, you did a great job this morning covering on the show. | ||
| The incompetence in the chain of command in the military. | ||
| It seems like the only place we're competent in the administration is covering up for China, and everybody's on the same page. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| This is my point. | ||
| This is not incompetence. | ||
| There's something deeply wrong here. | ||
| It's obvious, just like in Taiwan. | ||
| This is where I was covering the Taiwan election. | ||
| There you have a free people that are fighting these monsters in Beijing, the CCP, and there's infiltration everywhere, there's money being spread over there, and they're fighting back. | ||
| In the United States, this is not incompetence. | ||
| This is pattern recognition. | ||
| The official apparatus that goes after Trump and goes after MAGA and tries to go after the abortion clinics for the people praying and from saying the roses, the ones that go to the Catholic churches and say they're domestic terrorists, the ones up there on MSNBC and CNN every night, Weissman and these guys, that we're the worst people in the world, we're domestic terrorists, we're white nationalists, we're Christian nationalists, they are purposely | ||
| Shutting down investigations where DOJ and these other people understand that the financial community in the United States and the tech community are in business and partners in a money laundering operation with the Chinese Communist Party because everybody, all those guys are making money. | ||
| This is not incompetence. | ||
| Just like the invasion of the southern border is not incompetence, this, which is an invasion of CCP dirty cash into this system, is just as organized as the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| Brian, we've got to bounce. | ||
| You're doing an amazing job. | ||
| Your Twitter feed alone is a revelation, but where do people go to get all your information? | ||
| Just on Twitter, VP Costello, and we'll have some other stuff coming out this year. | ||
| It's a big year, Steve, so thank you for covering this. | ||
| Let me make a commitment. | ||
| Let me make a commitment. | ||
| Hey, Sequoia Capital and Sam Beckman Friedman, all you guys, hey, don't think that the hammer's not coming for you. | ||
| We're going to hammer you guys. | ||
| You're not going to sell this country out. | ||
| And skip, okay? | ||
| You're not going to sell this country out. | ||
| One of the top pieces of business for the afternoon of January 20th, 2025, is to restart these investigations with a new team over the Justice Department. | ||
| And if we do our job, the House is going to get involved here. | ||
| Not just Gallagher, but I mean real, not just the China Committee, but committees that have jurisdiction and have teeth. | ||
| Costello, keep fighting, brother. | ||
