steve bannon
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.
unidentified
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
steve bannon
War Room Battleground.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay.
Welcome.
It's been absolutely a crazy, crazy, crazy day here in the War Room.
Thank you for sticking around for the early evening edition.
We got a lot going on and a lot of balls we're juggling.
We're juggling between the historic hearing this afternoon, obviously the crash and burn of Speaker Johnson and everything that he's misleading people about and clearly over his head.
Also Taiwan and much, much more.
Want to go to, and this is where we need the word posse.
I know you're engaged in the calls.
I've heard already the calls this afternoon up on Capitol Hill have been voluminous, heated and effective.
And this is what's so important.
I want to go to, I want to start, I got Frank Caffney and my favorite Dave Walsh are going to start the top of the hour.
Frank, real quickly, and I got to go, I haven't had a chance to talk to you, we had Fennell and Thayer on this morning about their new book.
I didn't get the chance to talk to you or show you about the headline from yesterday's Financial Times of London.
Remember, Financial Times of London are The biggest drivers of the decoupling of the United States and the CCP and particularly Europe and the CCP.
Biden risked China's anger with planned for delegation to Taiwan after crucial vote.
After crucial vote.
So we were on the eve of the crucial vote.
Now, actually, technically, I guess in a couple of hours, we're going to we're going to start because it's already Saturday in Taiwan, just a little early before polls open.
Give me your assessment of where we stand now in this kicking off the historic year of 2024 with this incredibly important election in Taiwan and already the PLA saying yesterday that, hey, if there's any move for unification, and they use reunification, which is not the right way to say it, it's never been unified before, that the PLA will make moves.
Where do you think we stand in all this on the eve of the election or the morning, I guess, of the election?
frank gaffney
Well, let's come back to the moves that they're probably making in the election itself, Steve.
But we've had the Houthi engagement tying up American military assets and personnel, expending resources.
We did a fabulous webinar yesterday about the border being penetrated by divisions worth of Chinese personnel, a presage, I believe, of lighting up the home front.
And what you're asking about and whether the Biden delegation visit is going to be seen as another provocation or whether it's enough that the possibility that the people of Taiwan vote for freedom instead of enslavement by the CCP.
I think we're approaching the point where it is game on with respect to Chinese action against the Taiwanese.
Whether it's an invasion in force over the beach or whether it's a blockade or whether it's an internal insurgency operation, all remains to be seen.
But I think clearly Xi is persuaded.
He's tied us up.
They have a controlled asset in Joe Biden at the White House.
This is the moment, it seems.
to act on his ambition, and Brent Thayer and others have been talking about this very persuasively, to exceed Mao Zedong, his hero, but the guy he wants to surpass in his role as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party by accomplishing what Mao never did, namely the conquest of Taiwan one way or the other.
steve bannon
I want to make sure folks understand, and this leads into this national asset company fiasco, the CCP are very strategic, look, and they're smart.
And people say, you can't call them smart, they're evil.
Hey, they're the epitome of evil.
Doesn't mean they're not smart and cunning.
They have a master plan and they're kind of rolling down that master plan.
Their number one thing is to control the Eurasian landmass and this is what World War II was fought over.
The Germans from one side and the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy from the other.
They think they got a plan and that plan includes And this is why, unlike Jace Medical, we have Jace Medical as a sponsor, because those guys are in there saying, hey, in unrestricted warfare, the Chinese Communist Party has thought through your health and medical.
That's why the active pharmaceutical ingredients, they make 100% in China.
As we know from the fiasco over the early days of the of the pandemic, they had all the supply chains.
That hasn't changed 80%.
And you can go to Jace Medical right now.
Make sure you immerse yourself over the weekend and check that out.
Gaffney remembers back here a couple months ago, we had the big fight and we kind of got it off line for a while, we got to get back to it, we got it off line, from Geneva where the CCP controls basically the engine room of the United Nations, and they run all of those big operations.
They understand where power is and they will go there.
This whole thing with the WHO was to get to global governance.
Because you get closer to global governance, you're playing in their hand.
They have partnered in the de-dollarization.
unidentified
Right.
steve bannon
The major de-dollarization movement in the with the Gulf Emirates and with the mullahs in Tehran.
The first output deal they did was with the mullahs in Tehran.
They're also doing that.
They're going to take that.
They're going to take Chinese currency for that.
That is the beginning of the de-dollarization.
That's right.
Birch Gold.
You go read The End of the Dollar Empire.
All of our things talk about this and how the Chinese Communist Party is strategic in this move.
This whole thing about the Red Sea and the Houthis on the peninsula.
of Saudi Arabia and these bandits, these essential pirates, causing a major, and not just a major military event, but tying down our navy away from the South China Sea and from the Straits of Taiwan.
Frank, you're actually making the case that you strongly believe they're back at this natural The natural asset companies, that the new fiasco we're dealing with, Dave Walsh is going to join us in a minute, that they're in back of this, and there's just a story I put up on Getter, the second largest foreign born shareholder, not foreign born, foreign national shareholder, excuse me, landholder in the United States is a member of the CCP.
Well, Steve, that was a brilliant summary of where we are.
I think I would just add one small corrective.
before I go to Walsh about the problem with it in and of itself. Why do you think this is another element of the strategic surrounding of the United States and the crippling of the United States?
frank gaffney
Well, Steve, that was a brilliant summary of where we are.
I think I would just add one small corrective. I think it's very much about the Eurasian landmass, but unfortunately, what we've seen is the Chinese strategy is playing out worldwide. You mentioned in passing the Belt and Road Initiative, that's part of it.
But so is this effort to use international entities or organizations, notably the UN or Subsidiaries of the World Health Organization to advance this idea that the nation-state is kind of OBE, overtaken by events irrelevant, and now in place is going to be a new supranational edifice controlled, let's face it, by the Chinese Communist Party.
And these natural asset companies are, I believe, very much part of that scheme.
Inside the United States, because as we've been talking about, thank you so much for giving the attention to this that I think it really does deserve, especially between now and the 18th of January when the SEC closes its comments on the subject.
We are looking at the Chinese Communist Party and frankly other enemies of America having an opportunity to essentially buy up, at least to control, our land.
Here in the United States, our public land, our public waters, our public air, for heaven's sakes, as well as to get their hands on a lot of private land as well.
And one of the things I just want the posse to understand is this not only means precluding in the name of sustainability, and that's the purpose of these natural asset companies, the exploitation of minerals or oil and gas or timber or farming, With profound implications, as Dave Walsh will talk about, for energy security, among other things.
They also want to prevent us from hunting on these lands, private lands included.
So this is going to affect Americans' lives, as well as livelihoods, as well as probably, you know, food security, as well as energy security.
And the Chinese Communist Party, their sovereign wealth plays Their use of our money, probably in all likelihood, out of our pension funds through the NACs is one of the dangers associated with this operation.
It must be stopped.
And go to SovereigntyCoalition.org, folks, please, today, to express both now, Steve, to the Securities and Exchange Commission and your elected officials and the New York Stock Exchange, which is behaving excrebly In this exercise, engaging in fraud, I think, conflicts of interest and creating a whole new accounting scheme that is absolutely conducive to fraud as well.
It must be stopped.
steve bannon
Okay, where's the war in Posse go?
I want them to go right now.
I know they've already been a ton of them in there, but I want to make sure everybody gets access.
We understand we're fighting a 30-front war here, but we got to take these fights as they come.
We stopped and thwarted the World Health Organization for now.
You're going to do the same here, but where do they go?
You've got all this pre-lined up, letters, all that.
Where do they go?
frank gaffney
Streamlined, click of a mouse and you're in.
Sovereigntycoalition.org.
It will get you to the SEC.
It will get you to your elected representatives on the Hill.
It will get you to the New York Stock Exchange.
Again, just with a couple of clicks of the mouse to go there.
Please also, Steve, we're going to have to come back to World Health Organization, too.
It's not a done deal.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
We got to.
We got to.
Remember, folks, these people never quit.
I mean, come on.
They're like Hydra.
They're coming at you from a different direction.
Remember, you're the guardians of this republic.
Dave Walsh, you and I have talked about a lot of crazy stuff.
You know, some of the Green New Deal and some of these fantasies that, you know, governments have put trillions of dollars back of that only hurts their energy production and the lives of their citizens.
This one is like the crazy.
You understand something's not right here because this scheme is so crazy.
Your thoughts?
dave walsh
This is theater of the bizarre where the Rockefeller Foundation as part of something called the IEG chased after the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NYSE to form
A new class of public equities, not based on GAAP accounting, not based on cash flows and EBITDA, the things you and I are familiar with to measure value, but based on a theory of investing in nature and using, not GAAP, but the United Nations System Environmental Economic Accounting Ecosystem Accounting Framework, the SEEAEA, which is
A way of measuring value by when you're blocking others from utilizing land for resource extraction, mining, drilling, anything deemed to be environmentally deleterious, you're getting some kind of eco-credits, not cash flows, not earnings, but eco-credits for blocking others from using federal, state, and other easement lands for productive use.
So this is a theory of creating a value around nature, investing in nature and natural attributes, not cash flows, that would allow foreign entities, foreign companies, investment banking groups, BlackRock, Summit Carbon Solutions, for example, a couple of the big guys now seeking thousands and thousands of easement miles for carbon capture pipelines from the Dakotas down to Illinois through Iowa, to grab land use in this way.
And also, by the way, supporting what Frank just said, I mean, I know for a fact that Chinese remain active here in the Southeast, seeking land to build factories to make grid components.
And they're facing, fortunately, a lot of blockage from states now standing up saying they don't want Chinese factories in their states here in the Southeast.
So this has gotten in the way of Chinese industrial investment over here.
So this comes up in about late, mid-November as a new mechanism to allow foreign holding companies, foreign investment companies, to get involved in This new class of equities called natural asset companies to take over the operation and maintenance of federal lands.
Not the ownership of directly, because that would be outright illegal, but operations and maintenance contracts to control their use and block others from having any steel plant, chemical plant, refinery, mine, anything that's deemed to be non-sustainable in our new taxonomy of defining things as non-sustainable, to use these lands wrongly
The BLM would stand in the way of any approval of the natural asset company to use lands in certain environmentally benign ways only and block any other use of lands for productive use, which devalues them.
Immediately devalues public lands by blocking productive resource extraction on them.
It's an amazing- Are you- No, this is amazingly creative.
steve bannon
No, it's breathtaking.
This is why we spent so much time on it.
Tell me, what do you think the intention is?
What was the logic?
Is this actually to make sure they can slip into the dark of night and actually control vast elements of the natural resources of the United States so that the citizens of this country then can't be stewards of them?
dave walsh
I think for one thing, for this administration and any Democrat administration going forward, it provides a deed restriction, a permanent, much more difficult deed restriction on public lands to break through by any new administration to allow resource extraction, mining, drilling, industrial plant building on those lands ever to repurpose those lands for industrial use would become extremely difficult because now a new government
Let's say a Trump government would now be fighting NextEra, BlackRock, Summit Carbon Solutions, Chinese investment groups, who now would control these deed rights to protecting the natural aspects of these lands, and that join in prohibiting use for resource extraction, be it oil leases, gas leases, mining rights, or any other purpose that then would be deemed by the Bureau of Land Management to be Wow.
against the principles of the deed transfer to these natural asset companies.
This would be permanently in the way, create a massive block to a new government changing the more freedom on use of federal lands for drilling, for example.
steve bannon
We got the first round of this, we got the, in between now and the 18th to get all the I want everybody to go to Sovereignty Coalition.
Dave, where do people go?
I understand you've been tied up on some family issues.
Audience has been wanting you back because, you know, they love you.
And by the way, Happy New Year.
Where do people go for your social media?
dave walsh
Well, you can find me on the Getter at Dave Walsh Energy.
It's one where the 25 state attorney generals have filed a VM in opposition to this.
One state missing in that is South Dakota, where Kristi Noem is supporting carbon capture pipelines being forced to eminent domain, forced on South Dakotans' throats, farmers' throats.
Uh, which is again, one of the benefits.
ben harnwell
Hold it.
steve bannon
We have this, we have, um, we have Iowa on Monday and it's no secret.
Chrissy Noe has been out in Iowa nonstop as a surrogate for President Trump because she's on the shortlist for VP.
Why is she doing that?
Well, South Dakota should be one of the top, one of the first ones.
dave walsh
Folks like Somic Carbon Solutions seeking eminent domain over many independent, privately family owned farms in South Dakota.
are a donor to Kristi Noem and they're involved with her through PACS and she's basically supporting thousands of miles of carbon capture pipelines being erected across private lands in the Dakotas through eminent domain. She's on the wrong side of that. Okay we're gonna have to let you back on and drill down that deeper. We'll get we'll do a special...
steve bannon
We'll do an hour with Dave Walsh and make her come around.
Okay, that's not right.
Walsh, thanks.
Welcome back, brother.
Good to see you.
Hope everything's good with the family.
Dave Walsh.
dave walsh
Thank you.
steve bannon
Okay, Sovereignty Coalition, Grace and Mo, if you can get up in the live chats, we need people on the ramparts on this.
You've already had a big impact on this.
People never, ever, ever thought that we'd have smart people on here focused, but we gotta give a hat tip to the treasurer out in Utah, Marlo.
Fabulous job.
Marlo Oaks, incredible job to kind of lead this and Frank Gaffney and team putting it together.
There was a historic hearing this afternoon, of course we dived into it in the 5 o'clock show, but I've got David and Nancy Lynch who have committed their life to this.
Just give me your assessment.
You had McCullough, you had Ryan Cole, you had others.
This has really been the wheelhouse of where you guys have been fighting.
Give me your assessment of McCullough and Ryan Cole when you talk about vaccine injuries.
unidentified
Hey Steve, thanks for having us back.
Yeah, you know, it's just more of the same.
I mean, it comes down to the facts.
I mean, we have the Rancourt report that a lot of people were citing that, you know, they think 17 million people have died so far through September.
A thousand, by the way, that's a thousand times the ratio of people that they originally talked about in the clinical trials.
So it's, you know, the shots were worse than we thought.
You know, the intentions behind them don't look very good at all.
And the fact is, they're just trying to hide the data.
They've been trying to hide it.
They, you know, they went into their, even going back as far as in the controls and the clinical studies they did prior, you know, after 30 days, they vaccinated all of their control groups.
And the effect of that is you can never go back and see what the issues were or if there were problems with the vaccine because they eliminated the control groups under the pretenses that they did for that.
So they're just trying to hide it.
They're hiding it.
There was a lot of malintent is what it looks like to everyone who's observing that.
And it's nice to see some of that info.
steve bannon
But when you talk about that, MTG had to force this herself.
And she had Raj on some other help.
I mean, this was technically, it was formal in the fact that she's on the committee and kind of did this as a subcommittee.
But the overall committee, and I don't want to rat people out, but I think that they rejected having the overall committee.
They said that's outside of our purview.
We don't want to get into the vaccine.
We've got to deal with the COVID origins.
And they're doing some great work.
I mean, they're finally getting Fauci nailed to the wall here.
But why do we have to have this hearing that's like a red-haired stepchild?
Why can't this be front and center?
Why can't it be during Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock?
Why can't we have all the cameras there?
What is it?
What are the forces opposed to even getting this information out there?
unidentified
Well, that's easy.
I mean, there's a lot of money involved.
I heard someone talking, I think it was earlier on one of the shows today here, that, you know, talking about billions of dollars.
There are individuals who work in these pharma companies who personally make multiple billions of dollars.
We're talking hundreds of billions.
And eventually by the time this whole thing plays out, we could be in the trillions of dollars.
So that buys a lot of influence, it buys a lot of silence.
The question I ask everyone is, why are we having these hearings now?
These are hearings that we should have had two years ago.
When, you know, mid-2001, when all of this was coming out, when the clinical trials didn't look like they were giving the results that we were all told.
When we were told this was safe and effective, and there was no way for them to even know it was safe and effective based on the testing and really more the lack of testing that had been done.
But you get now and you have, you know, you have billions of dollars.
You have one of the problems is that the pharmaceutical companies control advertising.
They spend so much money.
You know, we saw Mike Lindell this morning getting booted from Fox.
Well, you know, this may be a separate issue from that, but Fox, if you ever watch that show, I personally know that channel, but if you go on Fox, every other commercial is a pharmaceutical ad.
So they exert incredible pressure over the media and they obviously tremendous influence over Congress and the regulatory agencies and the people that are actually supposed to be protecting us. The FDA and the pharmaceutical boardrooms are the revolving door.
steve bannon
Tell me, you guys have dedicated your life now to starting this line to correct us.
Walk me through.
We got about five minutes.
Walk us through the whole premise.
People heard the testimony today.
We had a huge, vast audience on War Room.
We talked about it in the five o'clock hour, but the solution.
You guys are coming up with a solution for this.
Walk us through why it's a solution.
unidentified
Well, you know, one thing I'll say, Steve, is a lot of people, they think, you know, this is starting to fade away and we've gotten through it and, you know, we're going to get back to normal.
And I wish that was the case.
That's not the case.
In fact, you were just talking about the meetings we had this week.
Yeah, we had a couple of meetings this week with medical experts.
One in particular is a COVID expert that they work with a lot of patients that have had effects from the COVID vaccine.
They're saying it's in all of us.
In fact, their quote was this is a zombie apocalypse is coming.
100% of patients that they're working with have this this damage and it's all the micro microplots in them whether they were vaccinated or not.
Everyone has some microplots in them.
So that's kind of where our product comes in.
That was a disturbing meeting because you know we we've never got the shots for our family and they basically said it doesn't matter.
Everyone has a sim, and just to reiterate what Nancy just said, 100% of the patients they're seeing in their clinics have these issues, and a big chunk of those people were never vaccinated.
So that's what we're dealing with.
We're not, to hear a doctor, and some of these doctors have been on your show, Steve, so to hear them actually utter the word zombie apocalypse is what they see coming In a couple of years, it's a huge problem.
And there's great people like MTG and there's a lot of doctors out there that are pushing the charge for accountability and transparency.
And that's really important.
Our role in this.
We've got a three-step protocol.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Our role in this is to help people get better because if it's in you, putting your head in the sand is not going to help.
So, you know.
steve bannon
So let's talk about that.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
Talk about your line.
Yep.
unidentified
Yeah.
So.
steve bannon
Go ahead.
unidentified
So what we did is we actually, and we've told this story before, we weren't trying to make a COVID product.
This goes back almost two years when we started this process.
We would have been crazy back then to want to make this kind of product.
We were making a different formula that mimicked the effects of intermittent fasting in the body.
And it just so happens that as we really had the team dig into the science, When you do that in the body, if you add a few extra things to it, you turn on a process where the body can help clean itself.
It actually goes and breaks down pathogens and debris and old cells and zombie cells and things that aren't optimal.
it clears that out of the body.
Excuse me, I'm having too much to work out coffee here.
So, excuse me, so it helps to remove it.
And then we looked at, okay, well, people have all this clotting damage.
What do we do with that?
And microcloths, some of the macrocloths are the ones that I think are crazy.
Some of these things that pull out of people's bodies, they're things that the doctors have never seen before.
So we have a product that helps repair that actually can help go and break down those clots.
And then our Restore product, you know, as we look now and we see the effects of this and it's causing a lot of these long-term issues, degenerative diseases, turbo diseases, that product Restore, actually, we utilize the first dietary ingredient that's ever shown it has a mechanism to go and help reset the genome, help actually reset what genes are activated and deactivated, because the last thing you want is to have a gene activated that might help tumor growth or might help
Might help promote some kind of degenerative disease.
So it's a it's really simple It's remove, repair, restore and it's a complete protocol.
What I would what I would recommend to people is Don't put your head in the sand.
This is a real problem.
We're all in as a country as a society We're in big trouble if we don't solve this issue.
Warroomwellness.com is a great place to start If you want to keep looking from there, God bless you.
That's great.
We think that this is the greatest protocol that we've seen out there.
steve bannon
Real quickly, give the folks, I want people over the weekend to go there.
Where do they go right now to get more information?
To immerse themselves in information?
unidentified
Warroomwellness.com.
There's all kinds of studies and info.
And one thing I want to share with you, Steve, as Nancy was saying, we have testimonials coming in every day now.
And it's anything from, hey, I just feel better and I can't put my finger on it, but I feel better when I take this, to people that are having major changes in their health and really, really life-changing changes.
So it's very humbling.
steve bannon
Warroomessentials.com.
Make sure, I want everybody to go there now.
We'll have the testimonials up, all the information you got.
David and Nancy, thank you for doing this and thank you for doing the work that got us here.
Really appreciate it.
Short commercial break going to Iowa and Taiwan next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Hey, welcome back.
Taiwan hasn't quite started still early in the morning.
Colonel Mills, you've been there all week.
Set the stage for us.
What's the vibe?
You've been putting up great things on Gateway and other places, War Room, about these massive rallies.
What's the feel on the street out there?
unidentified
Well, Steve, it's just no comparison between the three parties.
Uh, I'm not being partisan in any way.
Uh, even though we think the DPP is the better party for Taiwan, but it's just no comparison and just came up.
There was a hundred thousand in the street, uh, in front of the presidential palace last night.
Uh, and we got a clip on that.
I can play that in a moment here.
Uh, and even bigger rally tonight, uh, was just, it was unbelievable.
And, uh, The KMT rally and the TPP rally just not even the same.
So I mean...
On the whole UE, the KMT, it's kind of like Sleepy Joe.
I mean, if he wins, I just don't know how to explain it.
steve bannon
Let me ask you, does the PLA see this?
Because they put out this warning, which is pretty shocking, and it does a lot to shock me about the CCP and the PLA, but the People's Liberation Army put out a warning saying, hey, If there's any move to, they call it reunification, but any move at all against reunification or against you guys being a province, we will take action, right?
We will thwart that.
This is not going to happen.
Is that, is that made to suppress the vote today where people in Taiwan, these rallies really care?
I mean, what's your sense?
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
And at the KMT press conference, This was a line right out of the 1984 Democrat campaign against Reagan.
I mean, ho-you-ee, the KMT candidate says, you vote for William Lye, the DPP, it'll mean war.
You vote for me, it'll be peace.
Uh, if this is not synchronized cadence, I don't know what is.
And, uh, that's all based on this, uh, unbelievable article in the, uh, foreign affairs, uh, foreign affairs magazine that I'm pretty sure somebody ghost wrote for him.
and uh the uh so yeah that's we had a missile launch we have this enduring long i mean a lot of people don't realize there's been a almost for a year this high altitude long endurance large drone encirclement of taiwan uh i brought it up at the press conference i was called uh today uh even before uh new york times or wall street journal and i brought this up with uh Uh, the TPP, uh, candidate, uh, Dr. Koh, and he didn't seem to even know what I was talking about.
Uh, now when I, at the foreign affairs, uh, with Willie, uh, uh, uh, uh, Dr. Wu, he was very interested, was very aware of it.
And one of his persons came over and talked to me afterwards about it.
But yeah, they are all over the place being aggressive.
And, uh, for a while they were kind of being slow, uh, quiet and stealthy.
But they've really ramped it up.
They've really ramped it up.
steve bannon
Is that because they're afraid of the polling?
They've seen the polling, it looks like DPP can win, and they understand that the Americans now, the American people are becoming awakened to this, not just our show doing it, but others.
Is that why the PLA and the CCP are getting so, I don't want to say desperate, but taking a harder line?
And when you have a candidate saying, hey, if you vote for them, it's war, you vote for me, it's peace, that's a pretty hard line of demarcation, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, I'm sure they have eyes on the ground at the DPP rally in Keelung.
I ran into a Mr. Wang, air quote, who curiously enough was for the KMT, a young guy with a British accent from Shanghai.
So they definitely have eyes on the ground.
And, uh, and they're, they're watching what's going on.
And you look at these rallies, not even close, uh, not even close.
Uh, so yeah, they see, they see the energy, the excitement, the enthusiasm and, uh, Oh yeah.
I mean, they, they definitely are, are seeing what's going on on the ground.
And so they're going to ramp it up.
Cause they were until just a few days ago, they were very quiet about this whole affair on the 31st.
She made a very strong comment.
And then the, the, the comment you, you, you, you identified just a couple of days ago by the PLA.
steve bannon
John, Colonel, where do people get you?
You're obviously going to be the star of our show tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
Eastern Time, the Saturday show.
We're going to have tons of coverage of Taiwan.
Where do people get you in the interim?
Where do they go to find you on social media?

Colonel Rhett John, substack getter and truth.
Also on worldview television with Brandon Howes, the Situation Room, also America Out Loud, the National Security Hour.
But yeah, so when we do that show tomorrow, we should know the results.
It'll be late evening.
I'm 13 hours ahead of East Coast.
So when we do that show tomorrow morning, I'll know the answer.
But again, we have some absolutely fantastic clips and the rally tonight was just unbelievable.
I mean, it outdid the 100,000 in the street the night before.
steve bannon
I mean, that's, the things have blown me away.
Your footage has blown me away.
We'll play that in the morning.
Colonel Mills, good luck.
We'll see you tomorrow and hopefully the outcome will be the outcome we've all been pushing for.
Take down the CCP.
Freedom for the people in Taiwan.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Amen.
steve bannon
We go from Taipei, we go to Rome, our own Ben Harnwell.
Ben, the reason I had to get you in here before the vote in Taiwan and all of it because now you got us fighting off the coast of Saudi Arabia and the CCP is clearly in back of that.
MTG and folks today, complete blow up on Johnson and one of the things is, hey, Don't be driving in here with any Ukraine thing.
We had Rosemary Jenks on yesterday say this whole thing on the border that they were working on to get the Ukraine bill was lies and treasonous.
Lankford then kind of backed off.
They've now said hey it's not gonna be anything to do with the border you're gonna have to deal with it.
MTG and others have said if you bring as much of this budget screwed up if you bring anything on Ukraine She said we're doing motion to vacate.
So his speakership can hang on this.
I just want people, before the weekend starts, the situation in Ukraine, particularly the problem of recruiting troops and how it's affecting Zelensky's polling.
You know, people here in the United States are still convinced by CNN and MSNBC and even Fox and other people like Mark Levin and others that this guy's super popular.
He's Churchill.
Everybody's pulling together.
Is that actually true, sir?
ben harnwell
Good evening, Steve.
Not only is it not true, it's becoming increasingly clear, even to people who don't want to take a view on this, that this is not true.
That is to say, even if you're looking at this sort of objectively, it's becoming true.
Here's an example.
Yesterday, the parliament in Kiev voted against President Zelensky's measure to draft 500,000 Ukrainians from abroad.
And this was led principally by, I think, the voice of Ukraine, the opposition party that hasn't been abolished yet by Zelensky.
And they were basically saying no, never to this measure.
Now, you need to take a step back, Steve, and think why?
Hang on, hang on.
Why would an opposition party be vetoing the manoeuvres of the Zelensky government to bolster its flagging stalemate.
And the reason is pretty clear if you're prepared to think beyond the immediate superficialities of the headline.
It's because, right, it's not the case that these people, millions of people have left Ukraine, that they're considered in Ukraine as traitors or draft dodgers or cowards.
These are sons, basically, sons of families who are still there in Ukraine, sons, brothers, people who have escaped rather than betrayed the country.
And the people still in Ukraine don't want them to be drafted back and sent To the firing line.
This is why, if you're looking at it from the angle of politics, what the opposition has done here makes absolute perfect sense.
But it only makes sense if you realise that on the ground, this war now is increasingly unpopular.
And this is a problem for President Zelensky now, because if it's not, without this 500,000, which is very much a Hail Mary pass in the first place, but without this, there's really very little hope now.
That this war can drag on even to November of this year.
unidentified
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, we're dropping a bombshell here.
steve bannon
Honral, you've been so smart and pressing about so much of this.
Hit rewind.
Give me that one again.
Because you're preaching to the choir here, but nobody's talking about this.
What did you just say?
ben harnwell
So the vote yesterday in the Ukrainian parliament was to veto the government's measure to bolster the troops in Ukraine.
This is also the part of the measure that I said that it wanted to decrease the age, I think, from recruitment age, the drafting age from 27 at the moment, which is relatively high if you think about it and push it down to, I think, towards 21.
This thing has been blocked by a number of rebels in the parliament, government rebels, but also principally led by the opposition.
The opposition said no, never to this.
They're not going to expand the draft to supply Zelensky with further troops.
And the reason, as I was trying to speculate for this, for an opposition party to do this, there's only one reason why an opposition party would do this in the middle of the war, and that's if it's really absolutely certain that this war is so unpopular.
The voters still in Ukraine are keen that the people who have fled Aren't drafted back in and sent to the front lines.
It's a bit counterintuitive, especially if you've been drinking the Kool-Aid for two years on the Western media's propaganda here.
But it's absolutely clear that the motivation for the opposition to manoeuvre here is that this war is now so unpopular.
They don't want that.
There's presumably a majority support now that doesn't want the draft widening to bring people in to keep this war going.
steve bannon
That is amazing.
That's amazing.
Let me, I gotta bounce back, I gotta ask you a question.
Do the capitals of Europe, as you talk to your contacts and read the press, and even in Ukraine, do they understand the Resolve of the folks here in the America First Wing of the Republican Party to at all costs stop one penny more from going to Ukraine.
There was just a story out yesterday.
We can't track a billion dollars of weapons.
And this goes back to when you broke the FT story that showed that some of these weapons are being trafficked back to gangs in Europe that the crime's out of control.
Do those people understand that people are absolutely bound and determined to not put another penny into this war?
Has that sunk in yet?
ben harnwell
Well, firstly, I think yes.
And the answer to that is that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was over in Kiev yesterday for his photo op with President Zelensky, pledging, I think, two and a half billion pounds of support.
So it's an indication of the West is picking up the slack.
So excuse me, the European Europe, continental Europe, is starting to pick up some of the slack now as America recedes from the picture.
But I still don't think, if you're listening to the tone of this, and indeed the tone of what Rishi Sunak himself is saying, I don't think it's settled in just quite how persistent now this opposition is in the United States and the fact that this 61 billion isn't going to be coming.
And there's simply not the political appetite here in Europe to come in and fill the hole of the gap that the United States is going to leave behind.
And, of course, if if no one does fill that gap, just to riff off the point I was making before, this war, you know, it's a stalemate in a war of stalemate and attrition.
It's the party with the greater resources that's going to win out in the end.
That's why you have a war of attrition.
Right.
So it's really not looking good now for President Zelensky.
steve bannon
Ben, where do people go to get your content over the weekend?
We're trying to get you back on tomorrow on the Taiwan special.
I know you've been doing tremendous coverage of the South China Sea and all of it.
Where do people go in the interim?
ben harnwell
Thank you so much, Steve.
Simply get at my surname.
Thanks, Steve.
God bless.
steve bannon
Hey, we'll see you on the show tomorrow.
Remember, wall-to-wall coverage in Taiwan in a historic year, a massive kickoff to that year, the fight for freedom in Taiwan against the murderous, demonic CCP.
I'm going to try to get Loomer up in a second by phone to give us an update on Iowa, but Mike Lindell, I got to get you up here.
I don't think I've had any bigger feedback than you today.
I only got two minutes, but walk me through.
People are in shock that with cancer culture as bad as it is, As much as you're viciously attacking the Trump, put the company in bankruptcy and the people at Fox have to know that.
How could Fox possibly cancel you when you're giving them hundreds of millions of dollars?
You're not asking for charity.
You're not saying, sit there saying, Hey, put me on because I need to promote my pillow.
Cause we're going through tough times.
You're giving them hundreds of millions of dollars and they say, no, just walk our audience through how that could happen.
unidentified
Yeah.
You know, I still don't know.
I know the Washington post all day.
People have been reaching out to me and news outlets around the world.
They're saying why?
And I'm going.
I don't know why.
The only thing I can say is here at Lyndale TV, we added Lou Dobbs, everybody.
His first interview was our great real President Donald Trump.
I believe it has to be political.
They don't want my face on there leading up to the 2024 election.
Now remember everybody, Facebook did this to me before the 2020 election.
They wouldn't have my pillow ads on there with my face in it.
So I don't know, you know, that if stranger things have happened and Fox decided, Hey, we don't want Mike Lindell on there because he's associated directly.
You see Donald Trump because I back our real president 100%.
That could be or let's say I really believe it's a competition thing with Lindell TV.
We have 3 million people over here and maybe Fox is worried about us getting bigger.
steve bannon
Lou Dobbs follows us here in a few minutes.
Mike, it's MyPillow.com, promo code WORM.
You'll get all the information, all the sales, everything free is given you because Fox is banding 800-873-1062.
Talk to the operator.
We got their back.
The Worm is now not just the tip of the spear, we're the muscle.
Heck with Fox.
They can cancel Mike Lindell, we won't, and we're going to make sure that Mike Lindell keeps the company as robust as ever so that he can go and be a surrogate for President Trump.
Mike, we've got to bounce, but look forward to having you on the morning show when we talk about Taiwan and Iowa and all that.
You've done a great job.
Love you, brother.
Lou Dobbs next.
Stick around for the Lou Dobbs.
By the way, I agree with this.
There may be some competition because he's got millions of people watching this now.
We want to end with Laura Loomer.
The great Laura Loomer has been out in Iowa.
It's a freaking blizzard out there.
We couldn't get her up to see her lovely visage on Skype, but we got her by phone.
Laura, we've just got a couple of minutes, but I've got to ask you, as we sit here on the eve of the weekend that's going to lead into Monday, where do you think President Trump stands?
unidentified
Well, look, I think there's going to be overwhelming support for President Trump on Monday when voters make this trek in the blizzard to go cast their vote for President Trump.
And even Fox News admitted it today.
It's interesting.
You know, usually Fox News, the Murdoch empire is very quick to always attack President Trump and crop up Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley.
But they made a comment today that I found to be really interesting and true about the MAGA base.
They said, it's going to suppress turnout because of the weather, and the only voters who are going to come out in force are Trump supporters.
And the term that they used, Steve, word for word, they said, because MAGA supporters are the most loyal supporters.
And they're admitting that there really is a difference between the type of voters that Ron DeSantis has, that Nikki Haley has, or that President Trump has, and they use that term loyalty.
And that's why from the very onset of this primary, I've said one thing, and that's that loyalty matters.
Other candidates want to scoff at it, and they say, oh, ha ha ha, you know, you don't have loyalty to a party or a candidate, right?
But no, loyalty does matter.
And this, in these moments, right, when you have blizzards, when you have extreme conditions, That could potentially be dangerous, right?
For people to get in their cars and go to these polling locations.
You're going to see who really inspires people.
steve bannon
With that as a given, give me your assessment, compare and contrast Nikki Haley right now.
You've been on the sanctimonious for months and months and months.
Tell me Nikki Haley versus DeSantis.
I got about 90 seconds.
unidentified
Well, look, they're both losers competing for second, third, or fourth place right now, right?
Nobody's really taking them seriously.
Both of them are insulated candidates with campaigns that are wrapped in bubble wrap, hiding from the public, hiding from the media, scared of answering questions from people out on the campaign trail.
You know, look, Nikki Haley is perceived as a warmonger, as a neocon, and Ron DeSantis just doesn't have an it factor.
And the voters here in Iowa see it, and it's going to be reflected at the polls on Monday, January 15th, when Iowa voters come out and vote in the caucus.
Nikki Haley— What do you think— —to try to save her campaign at the very last minute.
I caught Frank once, you know, Kevin McCarthy's ex-boyfriend walking out— Where does everybody go to all your footage?
steve bannon
Because you've been breaking stories on Kim Reynolds or Frank Luntz.
Where does everybody go to get your reportage?
Because over this weekend, as other people are snowed in, we know that you're always at work.
Where do people go?
unidentified
Yeah, so they can go to Loomerd.com.
That's Loomerd.com to read the written reports.
You can follow me on X and True Social at Laura Loomer to see my videos and my reports as well.
And then my Rumble channel, Rumble.com slash Laura Loomer.
But the best place is, of course, Loomerd.com and X at Laura Loomer.
steve bannon
Okay.
Before I let you go, short answer, as you see it on Friday evening, is Nikki Haley overtake DeSantis for second place?
unidentified
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Vivek Ramaswamy comes in second place.
This is a guy who's had over 250 events in the last two weeks alone.
I think that they may have an upset here in Iowa.
President Trump coming in first place and Vivek Ramaswamy may surprise everyone and take second.
I really do think he might come in second.
steve bannon
Is that the end of Ron DeSantis' political career, do you think?
unidentified
I sure hope so.
My gosh.
I mean, him and Kim Reynolds both have one thing in common.
They've both abandoned the voters of their states where they're respectively governors in the middle of storms.
laura loomer
He should be in Florida right now dealing with the 90,000 Floridians left without power after these tornadoes and severe weather, and Kim Reynolds should be clearing the roads today, but instead she's palling around with a loser presidential candidate when people are getting in accidents on these icy roads here in Iowa.
unidentified
I mean, it's disgusting, and that's why No surprise, they have been listed as the two most unpopular governors in the entire country, and that says a lot when we're up against people like Gavin Newsom.
I mean, really, honestly, check the report yourself, Stephen.
You will see that Kim Reynolds and Rhonda Sanctimonious are the two most unpopular governors.
steve bannon
Go to Laura Loomer over the weekend.
We're trying to get Laura on the Saturday show.
Laura, thank you.
Don't freeze.
Keep grinding.

They're getting Loomer'd out in Iowa.
That's where they're running away from, trying to arrest her.
Okay.
Thank you, ma'am.
Your homework assignment over the weekend.
As you man the rap parts, you've already had a massive impact this week.
That's why Johnson's running away from his deal.
Everybody's scattering.
Go to birchgold.com slash Bannon.
I'm coming out with a new version of the end of the dollar empire installment number three, The Debt Trap.
