One of the worst cyber attacks in American history, but industry sources tell NBC News that the majority of people whose phones and their metadata was breached have not been notified.
And as of now, there's no indication that there are plans to.
According to the White House, China's salt typhoon hack has now been underway for upwards of two years, hitting at least eight of the major U.S. Telecommunications providers officials say only a few prominent individuals have been specifically targeted and that no classified communications are believed to have been accessed but they are still warning all Americans to only use encryption if you don't want hackers reading your texts or listening to your calls.
Joining us now, former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and chief intelligence officer of Sentinel-1, Chris Krebs.
All right, Chris.
A Chinese hack that we have now been the victims of for more than two years.
How does that happen and how do we not know?
Well, I think the reality is the Chinese Ministry of State Security, who is allegedly behind this activity, this attack, is good.
You know, they are very sophisticated.
They are very capable.
They're very patient.
They're very quiet.
And they've been probing at all number of infrastructures here in the U.S. and elsewhere.
And they've obviously had a great deal of success getting into various telecommunications providers.
I think what's really...
Well, the situation here is that we have a bunch of systems that are a mix of modern technology and hybrid legacy technology.
And as I understand it, they just were able to pick off some vulnerable edge devices just sitting at the edge of the public internet and the enterprise.
And they're able to just walk right through and get into the telecommunications providers.
What do they want with that sort of access?
Well, that's a great question because this is about espionage, right?
We've talked before about how the Chinese military is pre-positioning for effect in our civilian critical infrastructure as well as our military critical infrastructure.
The point there is destruction.
The point here, again, with Chinese spies, with their intelligence services, is intelligence collection.
They want to know what the State Department's thinking, what the White House is thinking.
They want to know what the incoming Trump administration is thinking.
They want to be able to map out who's who in the zoo so that they can run their own patterns of life and figure out if anyone's talking to Chinese officials, Chinese reporters, Chinese dissidents.
So it's a very large catch-everything and look for sensitive, important information across the data sets.
It's scary when you say not only can they now disrupt our systems, they've been able to hack into our grids and whatnot, but then they can also surveil all of us.
When you couple those two things together, that sounds pretty bad.
Katie, I feel like you're trying to trigger me here.
You've heard me talk about this before.
China is preparing for war.
They are preparing for war.
They are in our critical infrastructure, in our ports, in our water systems, in our grids, in our military systems.
Are we taking it as seriously as they seem to be?
And I think, in some cases, I think the answer is no.
But we have to up our game.
The window of vulnerability is 2027 to 2032, where China has designs to go into Taiwan.
Don't know if it's going to happen or not, but they're planning for it.
We have to take them seriously, take them at their word, and prepare the same.
Does that change with the new administration?
Do you have any idea why Donald Trump might be inviting President Xi to the inauguration, as has been reported?
I can't speak to that, but if you go and unpack Project 2025, if you read the Intelligence Community chapter, if you read the Department of Defense chapter, they see China as the pacing threat, as the preeminent threat.
And if you look at the nominations between Marco Rubio for State Department, Mike Waltz is the National Security Advisor, and a host of others, they have China hawks.
So there's going to be a significant pivot to China.
There's going to be a reliance upon our allies in the Indo-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia and India, to push back and contain China, particularly when it comes to Taiwan.
They're preparing for war, which is not on my bingo card, at least for any of my guests.

This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
Mega media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
It's Friday, 13, December.
December, 2024. Manhattan or November.
It's all kind of blending together.
Just kidding.
Thank you for joining us late on a Friday afternoon, early on a Friday evening.
In December, of course, the days are getting shorter.
I don't know, is that going to exist if we take daily savings time?
I'm kind of...
I don't have a dog in that fight.
At least not yet.
I haven't thought that one through.
Got a couple, three other things to think about.
Want to get to the House Freedom Caucus.
A lot going on.
House Freedom Caucus.
We can pull that up.
House Freedom Caucus on...
Has backed our play here in the war room.
Came out a little while ago with a letter and said they took a vote and that they totally opposed us putting together the two reconciliations.
You have to have, remember, the one for the border starting the 20th.
Boom.
Drop it on President Trump's desk.
Then come back later for the, in March or April or May, whenever you work out the taxes.
Do the taxes and the financial one at that time.
I want to—the open was very specific, and I want to thank Katie Turr and the team over there for having Krebs.
The reason that jumps off the page, Krebs, is one of the few officials that kind of come out and tell you exactly what it is.
There's been a lot of very highly classified, but now some starting to leak out and come out in a non-classified manner of this topic.
That the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated and put into infrastructure, not just the electrical grid, but everything.
Trains, roads, cyber attacks, all of it, into our infrastructure.
And when the balloon goes up, they can literally cripple the United States.
And I know people don't want to address this, but like I said, the dispositive question...
For all of us, we're dealing with national security, and let's go back to the NDAA, is the great question of the 21st century is that who actually wins this great geopolitical struggle?
The Chinese Communist Party or the American Republic?
That's it.
Everything that you do must be towards an answer for us to win and them to lose.
We win, they lose, like President Trump told Richard V. Allen.
And I think that, number one, or most importantly, the imperial capital doesn't quite understand that because so many people have been bought off.
Wall Street's been bought off.
President Trump cut that deal, the first deal.
Remember, we had the huge deal with Lighthizer.
That deal would have solved everything.
And the Chinese Communist Party walked away from it.
Now, there's a couple of issues about walking away.
That was the one that took care of all the state-owned industries, the overcapacity.
Lighthizer and Navarro worked on that deal, worked on that deal for two years.
Essentially in May of, I think it was 2019. The Chinese companies walked away.
Number one, they say, hey, all the Chinese used that for was to drive up the stock market, and then they took their profit, shorted everything, and then put that out.
Other was that they just had the one belt and one road.
First big strategic conference of which Putin came to, and after that, Wang Shishan and Xi sat down with Liu, Who is the chief negotiator and said, why have we agreed to all this?
We don't want to do this.
Because this would get us to be, we would be subsumed in the Western economy and have to do all the reporting, everything.
We don't want to do that.
The Chinese Communist Party, I will get into this deeper tomorrow.
Cleo Pascal is going to come back and join me.
And Colonel Grant Newsham, he of the book, When China Attacks.
Not if, not why, not how, but when.
That we are already in a war with the Chinese Communist Party.
They're at war with us.
Unrestricted warfare.
To wit, they've gone after the—you just heard this about the hacking of the telecoms.
Nobody really wants to talk about it, but they took, you know, millions of people's information.
I would kind of think that was maybe an act of war.
I don't know.
Then you had Krebs right there say the quiet part out loud.
Well, everybody knows they're all in the infrastructure, not just the electrical grid, which they're all over.
They are everywhere.
In every part of our infrastructure, including roads, railroads, highways, the flight systems that keep our planes up.
All of it.
Now, a lot of this is highly classified, so it can't be discussed, but people like Krebs and others are saying, putting up a warning flare right now, this is done.
And people say, well, Steve, my head hurts so much with Ukraine and with Syria.
I said, hey, those are not our fights.
This is the problem.
The fight we have, and the security is on the southern border, and the Chinese Communist Party is running the tables on us.
We've had one million.
Nushin was here the other day, one million.
When you add them all up, one million casualties.
I mean, KIAs killed in action on fentanyl.
It's a short country.
And why does it keep coming?
Because nobody's really done anything about it.
President Trump attempted to in his first time, probably got farthest down the road.
Biden, these guys, just kind of shined it on.
The Chinese Communist Party is going to continue to do this with the partners of cartels.
I would strongly recommend to President Trump, either through DIA or CIA, you pick it.
Pick them.
But there ought to be interdictions inside of Mexico.
Put Mexico on notice.
Put the president of Mexico on notice who's, I don't know, mentored by the previous guy who has a reputation to be in business with the cartels, owned by the cartels.
I'd also talk about the seven families that control Mexico.
And I'd start seizing assets.
Seize the assets of the cartels here in the United States.
Seize the assets of the big families in Mexico.
Yep.
Declare war on the cartels.
Identify them as terrorist organizations and do interdictions.
Either going to stop it or you're not going to stop it.
They're killing, what, 50 or 75,000 people a year.
They're not going to stop.
One, it's highly probable.
Two, they're killing you and you're not doing anything about it, so why should they stop?
You're destroying rural America and you're destroying the inner cities.
You're destroying the working class of every ethnicity and color and religion.
Kreb just told you right there, hey, they're at war with us.
There's Kreb, they're at war with us.
He's not some guy with his hair on fire in war rooms, yelling and screaming.
He's not from the Committee on the Present Danger China.
He's not from the new federal state.
What have these people told you time and time and time and time again?
They're at war.
Now, President Trump's playing five-dimension chess.
I'd love it.
Xi turned him down today, but he's got a marker there.
He's at a totally different level in this negotiation.
How about pre-negotiation?
They are, the Chinese Communist Party, the overseas group that works for the Ministry of State Security, they believe they're like the British East India Company.
British East India Company said, hey, China does not want to trade, and they had a monopoly on India trade, and then they got a monopoly on China trade down there in Canton.
And they went to, I think it was Nanking at the time.
Might have been Peking, but I think it was Nanking.
They went down there, showed their goods.
And the emperor said, look, one of his guys said, hey, we'll get back to you in a week or a couple of weeks.
They stayed around.
They got back to him and said, hey, look at all your stuff.
We don't want any of it.
We think it's all crap.
British, whoa, this is the best stuff we got.
We don't want any of it.
So to break them, what did they start doing?
Shipping in opium.
Lovely, isn't it?
Very classy.
unidentified
British.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
This is just the opium.
This is the opium war in reverse.
All they're doing is running the tables on us.
And you had Krebs right there saying, hey, we're at war.
You're damn right we're at war.
Well, hold it.
They're at war.
I'm not so sure we are.
We've got a lot going on.
Ed Dowd's going to join me later.
We've got a lot about cash and Hexeth, everything.
Also, what we talked about earlier today, we've got some action, action, action.
We've got some people all worked up on Capitol Hill because we outed what they're trying to do.
House Freedom Caucus came out and said, boom, flat out, we're not doing it that way.
I don't know, is that 40 or 50 votes right there?
Say no, no, no, no, no.
You gotta have two.
You have to have two.
You have two reconciliations.
Let's get the border up there.
Short break.
Back in the war room.
In a moment.
unidentified
Katie, I feel like you're trying to trigger me here.
You've heard me talk about this before.
China is preparing for war.
They are preparing for war.
They are in our critical infrastructure, in our ports, in our water systems, in our grids, in our military systems.
Are we taking it as seriously as they seem to be?
And I think, in some cases, I think the answer is no.
But we have to up our game.
The window of vulnerability is 2027 to 2032, where China has designs to go into Taiwan.
Don't know if it's going to happen or not, but they're planning for it.
We have to take them seriously, take them at their word, and prepare.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
2027-2032, that five-year window could happen actually sooner than that.
But even that's on President Trump's watch.
So we gotta get serious about this.
They're at war with us.
The engine room notifies me, as I remember.
Krebs is the guy that said that the 2020 election is the most secure in history.
I think he was a cyber guy over at DHS. Note to self, Brother Krebs.
Right there, you talk about military systems, grid systems, water systems.
One thing you left out, voting systems.
Oh, no, you can't do that, Steve.
That's impossible.
You're a conspiracy theory guy.
You're a conspiracy theory.
You're as crazy as the pal woman.
Hey, I'm not a machine guy, but I'm just saying it's kind of odd when the guy in charge of the cyber, who says it's the most secure election in the history of the nation, is now out.
He sounds like he wants to join the Committee on the Present Danger.
He sounds crazier than Frank Gaffney.
Or Miles Guo and the guys over at New Federal State of China.
This sounds straight out of their playbook.
Saying, just saying.
Hey, I'm all down with corrupts.
Now, the Great Awakening.
I agree with you.
And I think a lot of people in this city, a lot of people in the Imperial Capital that deal with this every day say they want to get this word out there.
They don't think the American people are awake.
And I said, well, hang on.
What do you mean?
Let the American people, how about the guys up here in Capitol Hill, look at it all the time.
This town is very sleepy about this.
It's very basic.
It's very simple.
Whether they're at war or not.
They're trying to drag us...
This is the three lines of work of Trump that's converging into a nightmare.
The war, the debt, and the invasion.
The war, the debt, and the invasion.
I would call it a border, but it's not a border.
The war, the debt, and the invasion.
And everything that Biden's doing is taking us down a primrose path to basically take...
The world of particularly politics or a great nation, you want to have a range of alternatives.
So that you can do all kind of different things and maybe pivot and do this.
What's happening is our alternatives are narrowing, narrow, narrow, narrow, narrow.
Guess what?
Don't have a lot of alternatives and all of them are bad.
That's what we're trying to avoid.
And we talk about critical path and actually process.
And you look through.
Event horizon.
What's my event horizon?
Well, right now...
Biden, this is another $50 billion, $20 billion, $50 billion, who knows?
They're never straightforward, so you can't understand what they're talking about.
All I know is we shovel in a quarter of a trillion dollars, that would be $250 billion.
Over to the charnel house of Ukraine.
And here, right here, NATO finally got no...
Donald Trump's a demon.
Donald Trump's going to destroy NATO. Donald Trump's the worst guy in the world.
All they sit up here, the Atlanta says, oh my gosh, little Admiral Stavridis, the hand puppet.
They're terrible.
Donald Trump, you know, but they get the knitted brow.
Got to have the knitted brow because you're thinking...
You know why you got to have the knitted brow?
Because they're thinking great thoughts.
And these are great men.
They're great men.
They're men of affairs.
They're men, they're handling the affairs of state.
They're great men.
And great men think great thoughts.
And of course, great men that think great thoughts want to have those thoughts out there and they want to discuss them and they want action on them.
So they got us all wrapped around the axle up in Ukraine, in the Eurasian landmass, we've got no business being in, and more importantly, no business and no interest.
unidentified
I don't care.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Folks in this country don't care.
Some elites that hate Russia for, you know, the same guys would be loving up on the Bolsheviks, the same crew, the same crowd, the exact same crowd that McCarthy called out in the fifth, be loving up on some Bolsheviks, be arming Stalin way past the time to arming.
The same crowd, the soul is out of Yalta.
The FDR wasn't totally with the program.
I don't know why.
It'd only been around 20 years.
That same crowd, they hate the Russians.
Now, why is that?
Why is that?
Why is the same group of people that sold us out, gave secrets away, and had all kind of nefarious activity with the KGB? I.F. Stone and these guys, he's a KGB agent over at the Nation magazine.
Oh, you can't say this.
Well, I don't say it.
unidentified
The KGB records say it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Why, you know, why the same folks that rubbed up on Stalin, knew about Stalin, knew all the murders, knew what he did in the starving people in the Ukraine, knew all of it, knew the camps, knew all of it.
Why are those people that in Hollywood, man, oh man, oh man, those progressives out there couldn't get enough, oh man, come on.
Today they're the ones that are most anti-Russian.
How does that work?
How does that work?
Let me think.
Curious minds want to know.
Why is that?
You got us up there in Ukraine jammed up with a quarter of a trillion dollars.
Wasted.
And it's only gone to kill, I don't know, a million Ukrainians.
Country looks like Dresden.
Russian army's on the march heading to the Dnepra River.
You think Donald Trump's got a tough negotiation now?
Wait till they take 40% of Ukraine.
They have a tendency, just to make an observation, they have a tendency, where their tanks go, they have a tendency not to put them in reverse until you make them put them in reverse.
Like President Reagan had taken down the evil empire with focus and commitment in a multi-level, multi-tiered, multi-process war against them.
Now that you got, man, you got 101st right there in Romania with a brigade right there ready to jump into Ukraine any moment.
I'm not saying, but may have already slipped over there a couple, three times.
You got American technicians over there doing fire control solutions for missiles going into Russia.
That'd be nice.
We'd feel great if they were down in Mexico or if they were in Cuba launching a couple of hot ones into Florida.
Not nukes, just tacks.
Hey Disneyland, kaboom!
How about that?
Suck on that Jupiter.
Suck on that Vero Beach.
We'd be okay with that.
Not.
Now you've got Turkey, but Erdogan.
Erdogan.
I'll tell you how phony the whole thing is, the whole deal is.
You want to know how phony he is?
Erdogan is a member of good standing in NATO. And he's just down there.
His deal, he doesn't care about NATO. What his deal is, very simple.
He don't want NATO coming after him.
What he wants is to go after Syria, take it, and then head in.
Hey, they're putting it in reverse.
He's heading to Mecca and Medina.
The reinstallation of the Ottoman Empire.
Heard it here first.
And all day long, all they're talking about, they're knitted brows because they're serious men talking about serious topics.
These are men of state, men of affairs.
And they're talking about, you know, partitions.
And now you got the ISIS in suits.
Four days into this thing, they're not so nice.
You know, got some guys hanging from tree limbs.
They're down.
You know, payback.
Gonna have that.
They want us up in Syria in the worst way.
I've seen him sit right there and lie to you.
Sit right there and look you in the eye and lie right to you.
He's using chemical weapons.
I got it on kids and people dead all over the place.
Okay, okay, cool.
Can I see some evidence of that?
Can I get a fact?
You know, maybe a something?
A little something for the effort here?
They go when it gets all over.
We got two carrier battle groups.
I had two carrier battle groups in the Red Sea.
Another one up in eastern Mediterranean.
Because you've got to keep the Suez Canal open.
Remember, Mahan's strategy, we've got to do the choke points.
The United States Navy's got to be there.
You've got to keep Suez open.
Why, Steve?
You've got to keep Suez open because you don't have Suez open.
People can't trade.
Asia can't trade.
Middle East.
Persian Gulf oil can't get to Europe.
Oh.
That would be Europe that we have the terrible trade deals with.
They won't buy any of our stuff.
Terrible trade deals.
That Europe.
That we underwrite their security.
That Europe.
We're the elites in Europe.
They're in the ski slopes.
At Stade, they're down in south of France.
They're around Tuscany, right?
In the west end of London.
Up in Sweden and Norway.
What Norway's sitting on, I don't know, two, three trillion dollar sovereign wealth funds sucking that oil out of the North Sea.
That North Sea that's patrolled by the United States Navy and submarines from the United States Navy.
That North Sea.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Norway with us in World War II? No, I don't think so.
A guy named Quisling?
Not with us.
Sweden with us?
No, no, neutral.
Not with us.
France was with us?
No, they quit in six weeks because they were too destroyed in the First World War.
Vichy government rounding up Jews.
Had a couple.
Had De Gaulle and a couple.
He had some resistance.
Good folks.
Spain?
No, Spain wasn't with us.
Franco?
Not with us.
Italy?
No, Italy not with us.
unidentified
Hmm.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No, Hungary had the Nazis there.
All of them.
Eastern Europe.
He had the Poles.
Poles had an air brigade.
Had a couple other guys.
Patriots.
Polish always.
Polish tough fighters.
Always with you.
English were with us.
At least most of them were with us.
The working class up in the Midlands, that's back Churchill.
Wasn't a royal family.
Wasn't a queen mother.
Wasn't Lord Halifax.
Hess ain't flying up to Scotland.
He's not flying that Messerschmitt up to Scotland for his health.
They put him in prison.
Wouldn't let anybody talk to him.
What deal is he trying to cut?
Don't know.
Don't know.
Go around NATO. Let me see.
NATO. Yeah.
Germany.
unidentified
No.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No.
There weren't a whole lot of people.
Now that I think about it.
Wow.
Kind of was the Russian people, wasn't it?
And not the Bolshevik, Stalin, bad guy.
Criminal.
Gangster.
Chinese, Lao Beijing.
Yep, yep.
Lao Beijing.
They're good.
They're with us.
Who was with us?
Who against us?
Got to be all over NATO. Got to help the Chinese Communist parties rolling into your own country, putting fentanyl in your own country, doing a chemical weapons attack in your own country with fentanyl.
All in your infrastructure.
Krebs just said it.
National TV. All over it.

They're at war with you.

Also how to buy and sell gold.
All of it.
Do it.
So I want to get to reconciliation.
I got Elon Musk.
It's threatening him.
I don't know.
Some emails going around saying they may be, I don't know, indicted?
Who knows?
Whatever.
Gary Gensler and the guys.
Remember, at the end of a thing you've lost.
You've been thrown out by the American people.
Put your pencils down.
The exam is over.
The exam is over.
Start getting your books ready, nice and neat, to march out of the classroom.
Don't be doing what you're doing.
You got the war.
You're dragging Trump into this thing.
You got the debt.
I've reached out to Dow for him to come on because this thing in Zero Hedge is shocking.
$625 billion in the first two months of the fiscal year.
That would be October and November.
And then on the southern border, you saw what the guys down there, what Ben Burkwam and Oscar Blue Ramirez, and we now know they're trying to do a jammed reconciliation.
Now, the good news is, I think we put the alarm up.
We sent the flare up.
We sent a flare up today.
Everywhere.
From Mar-a-Lago, from southern Florida, all the way up to the Imperial Capital.
Games are being played.
President Trump comes to come in and wants to roll and wants to roll in hard.
And what they're trying to do is slow it down to hide taxes.
Taxes.
I'll tell you right now, this tax fight is going to be plenty ugly.
Plenty ugly.
But you know what?
This is what has to happen, and this is about Elon, where they're coming after him.
They're coming after him.
They're rolling hard on him.
I can tell you they're rolling hard.
He's got some people around him who are pretty tough hombres.
And the full state power, they're going to try to give him a love tap on the way out as a signal to everybody else.
As a signal to Sergi and Facebook, you know, Zuckerberg and Bezos, all of them.
Coming in, supplicants of their little million-dollar checks to the inauguration committee so they get good seating.
They get inside the rope.
It's a love tap.
To let the administrative and deep state just wants to send a signal, hey, we don't care you're the richest guy in the world.
We don't care you wrote Trump a big check.
We don't care that you focused on what was important to throw us out of office.
We care that our long arm can come out and reach you.
It's not going to stop until it stops.
Do you expect me to believe?
That whatever was this issue with Twitter, if he had been all in for Kamala Harris and these guys, this would ever come up.
This is 100% because he backed MAGA and backed Trump.
In the reconciliation, you have to break into two.
Do not, do not take President Trump's ability to get some momentum.
The House last time, Ryan and these guys sat there and pounded the table.
We got to get rid of Obamacare.
We got it.
We've done it.
We've passed 40 bills, etc.
That was the most humiliating thing I've ever seen.
They had no idea what they were doing.
None.
Zero.
You cannot trust Republican leadership in the House or the Senate.
It's a bunch of goofballs, to be brutally frank about it.
So you can't turn over the second Trump term.
Hey, we got to hit it every day.
You got to come out.
President Trump, it was the immigration, the border, and groceries.
That goes back to sealing the border, starting the mass deportations, working out deals with people.
Boom.
A hundred executive orders and some money, some cash money to actually do some things to pass on reconciliation.
And he signs on the 20th of January.
And then, boom, it looks like we're getting something done because we are getting something done.
You can't sit there and go, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm not going to do it.
I'm going to sign some executive awards, do some other things, but I'm not going to do money, not going to do, because I didn't use reconciliation, because I've got to wait until, I don't know, March, April, or May, because I can get my tax deal done.
Of course people want the taxes, want the re-initiation of the Trump tax cuts.
Certainly that wants to happen.
But, hold on.
We ain't the same country that we have, I don't know, six, seven, eight trillion dollars of debt.
It's not just the debt you got on, it's the velocity of what you're adding.
We're adding a trillion dollars every hundred days.
I know it sounds insane, but that's the math.
So you're very different than you were eight years ago when we worked through and did the tax deal of 17. Or seven years ago, soon to be eight.
You just are.
The balance sheet's totally different.
Remember, the tax cuts, when they're done, they take a while to kick in for the growth.
It's a gap.
Maybe this time it's a lesser gap, but regardless, you add in the populist tax cuts, that's what they're not calculating, the populist tax cuts of no tax on Social Security and no tax on overtime and no tax on tips.
I think we promised this to people, right?
unidentified
Yep.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Well, that takes out more revenue.
Leads to the while you get some growth.
And so that's got to be covered.
And that's either spending cuts.
I'd rather do a spending cuts.
But you just here on Capitol Hill, handcuffed, you put the NDA in with $900 billion with a trillion dollars defense budget.
A NDAA that doesn't answer the question.
There's this positive question of who wins now.
Who wins in the 20th century, the CCP or the American Republic?
Because that's spread all over Helsinki, all the way through the arc of instability, from Ukraine all the way down to Syria and beyond, and keeping the Red Sea open for the guys in Europe.
I got a flash.
How about this?
How about the people in the West End of London, in the Chelsea, in Knightsbridge, in Mayfair?
And how about the folks in Switzerland, all the great resorts?
And how about the folks in the South of France?
And how about the people in Tuscany and all the other rich folks over there?
Why don't you figure out?
Because right now, in the Red Sea, where you got an American carrier battle group with 10,000 young American sailors, On it.
All kind of warships.
I've been on those carrier battle groups virtually in the same place.
unidentified
Hell, 40 or 50 years ago.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
We were in the North Arabian Sea in the Persian Gulf.
Not quite as far over than the Red Sea.
Why don't they keep it?
Right now, you know what they got?
They got one British frigate.
They got one French destroyer.
And they got a Corvette from Italy.
Not good enough.
Not good enough.
And here, they're trying to get you, and I'm just going to make an observation.
Here they go, the 3%.
That's President Trump saved him.
Now, I look at this, and it's a winner.
It's in Ukraine.
And I believe, different than Pete Hegseth, I have no problem, particularly with drafting like that.
Mo went to West Point.
Mo was in the 101st.
Mo deployed to Iraq.
Hey, that's fine.
She was a logistics officer, so it's not combat arms, but in those kind of situations, civilian affairs, logistics, and medical, you're kind of all in, because those things don't really have fronts, so you're kind of all in it.
I have no problem with that.
Pete doesn't agree with that.
I come down with Joni Ernst and those people, but I understand some people disagree with it.
Some people said women, they're not good enough or not tough enough or not strong enough.
Other people just said morally they shouldn't happen.
That's fine.
It's just a debate.
But I want to make an observation.
They can't get 500,000, and they got these young women, young women there learning how to shoot, or maybe there's crack shots, and they just got the guys in back and helped lining them up.
Help her get the site done.
That's fine.
That's good.
Hey, they're down there.
The guys aren't volunteering.
But I just want to make an observation of what you're backing with your tax dollars and what this scumbag's up here on Capitol.
You see those young women right there?
And a couple, three of them look like they're learning how to shoot because they got a guy helping them do this thing.
And they're patriots.
They're there to defend their country.
Well, I don't think that's going to stop the Russian army.
Just, you know, call me old-fashioned.
I just don't see that happening.
And that's what's happening up here.
They need 500,000 combat troops, 18 years old, because they already burned through the first at 29, and then at 27, and then at 25. So the parents get them all out of the country, don't have any manpower.
But that's what the big deal here is.
You've got to go to Ukraine.
You've got to get a $50 billion loan.
It's really just giving them money.
There's no way you can pay it back.
back impossible to pay it back.
unidentified
Disgusting.
Disgusting.

And we're getting wrapped around more and more every day.
Now, President Trump, one thing you notice we have not covered is the drones.
Not that we haven't spent a lot of time on the drones.
We have, behind scenes.
But President Trump finally threw in today.
Just came across, I believe, President Trump, and I read this, mystery drone sightings all over the country.
Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge?
I don't think so.
Let the public know and now.
Otherwise, shot them down.
I think that's shoot.
Far be it from me to grammatically correct the president on his tense, but then he signs a DJT. Now, I'm just going to throw this out there.
The president, Trump, who by the way I guess is the president since, has anybody had a run like this?
He's in Notre Dame looking like Charlemagne.
He's at the New York Stock Exchange ringing the bell giving a great speech.
He's got the Time Magazine cover.
That's the biggest power photo I've ever seen in my life.
He's got Joe Biden making goo goo eyes at him.
Hey, is there any doubt she voted for him?
No doubt.
She voted for Trump.
So did Joe.
How long did they spend in the Oval Office?
It was over two hours I heard.
Biden's joking.
Trump's the best thing that ever happened to him because it shows you that they should never replace Kamala Harris, according to him.
Trump's going to the Army-Navy game tomorrow.
In D.C. Hey, Biden, how hard is it to go to the Army-Navy game?
He can't because he can't be out that long.
So Trump's acting.
He's basically the acting president.
Now, the president does get, as soon as you win, you get the president's daily brief.
You get the exact same thing.
This was the big controversy in 16 when they said, oh, Russian collusion.
I said, well, that's interesting.
It's not anywhere in the briefings.
Who knows it?
Can we see that?
Can we see what you got?
All BS. If you pin these guys back and start asking detailed questions as only yours truly can ask, because I can be a real jerk in these meetings.
Particularly when they start doing the hubba-da-hubba-da-hubba-da-hubba-da.
And that's all they do.
They sit there, right?
They look you in the eye and they will lie to you.
They will lie to you.
I go, man, oh man, how dumb do you think I am?
Must be pretty dumb.
But one thing I know how to run is due diligence.
Keep asking the questions.
You keep getting them.
You see them start sweating and skipping around and dancing around.
That's what the administrator, that's a deep state, and they're not that smart, but they got state power.
And they have the information.
It's all classified.
Got all the information that's classified.
They're not so powerful.
This is what they're freaked out about.
This is what Gasparino's talking about.
The Truth Commission, just let it all go.
The Chinese Communist Party, hell, they hacked into everything.
They got spies all over the place, people on the payroll, like they don't know.
They've hacked into the seven big telecoms.
Anything they don't know, we're going to hold it back.
Also, the stuff you got is what they're doing.
Oh, we can't let them know what we know.
Why not?
Why not?
They're at war with us.
Maybe it's time that we took them seriously.
Maybe it's time we had respect for them as an enemy.
Had respect for them and say, hey, okay, we got it.
You are at war with us.
Maybe we'll start acting like that and stop acting like the goofballs we are, skipping around and having discussions.
Serious men with knitted brows Anthony Blinken's a serious man.
I saw him talk about Syria today.
He was quite serious.
unidentified
LGBTQ and going to be multi-diversified.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Everything.
It's going to be a land of milk and honey over there.
unidentified
Okay, big fight on the reconciliation.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The drones, we're looking into that.
Let's say we're spending quite a bit of time on that.
Because something now with President Trump.
But President Trump gets the President's daily briefing.
Saying, just saying, maybe one of those guys that walk in there, maybe ask them.
Then we see government incompetence.
You know, those guys that got the t-shirt, the shirt say CIA. Ask your briefer.
Elon Musk.
So I can't figure this thing out.
CNBC's got an article.
Now, it may just be civil, but it's about the Twitter acquisition, which you know is a little hinky.
I think I said earlier, I've never seen in my history doing M&A starting at Goldman Sachs in 84, I think it was.
That would be 1984, to date myself.
I've never seen a judge order a guy, and I still don't totally understand, but they ordered him to close at $44 billion.
He was ordered to close the transaction or face sanctions at $44 billion, which I couldn't.
I've seen offers change all the time.
I've been on the side of giving an offer and changing it for a host of reasons and on the side of selling companies or defending companies and having offers changed.
All the time.
It was very unusual at the time.
I don't know what Gensler is getting at, but what I don't like about this, it looks, it appears that it's the use of state power again, and I mean serious state power, either insider trading and or other information, a civil charge, but the implication is, and they got these tweets out from, I guess, American muck writers said they're going to be indicted on criminal charges.
Now, the media's not all...
CNBC did have an article about it, but it just showed...
Hey, you'd think it's odd.
He identifies with MAGA. He has MAGA money.
He helps MAGA win.
President Trump win.
He's all over down at Mar-a-Lago doing what someone would do.
You put a quarter billion dollars in.
You get access.
You just are.
That's just American politics.
Can't be Pollyanna-ish about that.
But then they come after him.
That's, to me, the story.
And the question is why?
Why have they singled him out?
The Jones Reconciliation, so we got a lot going on in that regard.
There's so much happening right now.
And of course, in the next hour, get to cash.
I think...
I think Cash is doing fine.
I think Cash is impressing people.
As I've told you, Cash is obviously a very impressive guy.
I've known him for a long time, many years, since the early days of the first administration.
So it's like eight, nine years now.
Worked with him, just made a film about him.
With my schedule being crazy and kind of, hey, maybe I actually end up in prison, which looked like a high probability given the kangaroo courts in D.C., I carved out time with the filmmaking team to make that movie because I thought government gangsters was that important.
And voila!
It turns out a pretty good guess.
Go to warroom.films.
The film is pretty mesmerizing.
It's cash in its own words.
We've taken the book and I think we've made it more accessible.
The book is great.
If you want to get the book, get the book.
And I like reading even more than watching films.
But in this topic, which it's a dense topic because it talks about what they did and what they were prepared to do and what they're going to have to answer for, more importantly.
Because Cash, like I said, Cash knows where the bodies are and he knows how much dirt's on top of each one.
And that's why they hate him.
Government gangsters.
Also, the big fight down in, I guess next week we're going to get on top of that, for the speakership down in Texas.
The same guys that tried to impeach the great Ken Paxton, go to Patriot Mobile.
Glenn Sturrie and the team.
PatriotMobile.com slash Bannon.
Go there.
Free installation.
All of it.
You talk to people on the phone.
They're American citizens.
This is a company that has and supports your values of the Judeo-Christian West.

Mike, I know you spent a hard day with the IRS. Give us an update on that and then sell us a Pella before we go into the weekend.
unidentified
Well, it's very frustrating working with them because this isn't like a normal audit.
They're just demand, demand, demand.
You can see they're trying to accelerate it before our great real president comes in next month.
And it's just a, it's an attack beyond belief, attack on my pillow.
This is against my pillow now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Well, hold on a second, Mike, Mike, hang on, hang on, Mike, Mike.
Get your security guys and throw them out.
You can go to court and throw a thing and slow it down.
Do I have to fly out there and be the hammer?
unidentified
I'll do it.
No, throw him out.
Oh, absolutely.
And I said, you know what?
What if I don't get it done?
What are you going to do?
Put me in jail?
I don't care.
I don't care right now.
I mean, it's just so, you know, they know it's an attack.
Whatever I have to do to, you know...
You know, you're gonna tell me we have to tie everybody up, my whole company?
We're trying to get pillows out.
We're trying to get product out that people are buying and the jobs that I say the War Room Prossey have helped create, especially over this last year.

Mike Lindell, we'll see you tomorrow.
Very special show on Saturday tomorrow.
Army-Navy weekend football.
Thank you, brother.
Not Minnesota.
Golden Gophers.
I've been informed by Captain Bannon that she was up at the airbase, all around, she was doing patrols.
I remember that.
Well, Mo, your mom and I were distraught because you realized you have no control whatsoever.
It's all in God's hands.
When your kids deploy, It's obviously a hundred times worse than when you deploy, but when your kids deploy it, you realize it's just in God's hand.
And hey, Obama was the commander-in-chief then.
Joe Biden was negotiating the deal that he never brought off.
So, yeah.
Now, women in combat?

Hey.

If you're gonna have an equal society, and I realize people have issues with it from their point of view of the traditional society.
I realize other people think they're just not up to the task and they're dragged.
There's other of us who just don't think that, but hey, that ought to be worked through.
But all I'm saying here They've killed 1.7 million people, according to the President, 700,000 Russians and 1 million Ukrainians.
That is not going to stop the Russian army.
It's just not.
You can teach her how to shoot all you want.
It's just not.
Short break.
