Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot of 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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

MAGA 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? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| I've been very critical of Marco Rubio in the past for many things he said. | ||
| But when I was picked as Secretary of State, I said, cold warrior. | ||
| I'm good with that. | ||
| We all say, you know, there are a lot of people that Donald Trump has selected. | ||
| That Democrats and members of the media have gone, okay, that's like within the guardrail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But there are four or five. | |
| There are just absolute disasters for America and for the incoming administration. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, these are the kinds of people that there will be consequences. | ||
| I mean, RFK Jr., you know, four times. | ||
| The president, President Trump. | ||
| And Kash Patel, is it really going to look good when they start trying to actually persecute people who just dissent? | ||
| Are they really going to be able to do some of these things in a manner that is not going to drag... | ||
| The administration down. | ||
| And the economy down. | ||
| And the economy down. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And the markets down. | ||
| It's 16 Monday, December, in the year of our Lord 2024. It's Natalie G. Winter's hosting, filling in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Don't you love it when those dilettantes, maybe that's what we'll call them, try to explain to you what the MAGA movement is about, right? | ||
| This isn't what Americans voted for. | ||
| I'm George Conway. | ||
| I'm really smart. | ||
| Yet we don't need translation services about our movement that we, what, voted a landslide, historic victory. | ||
| I think, what, I can point to, what is it, 77 million Americans who made that happen? | ||
| Or take your pick, 312 electoral college votes in You can save the translation services for, what, the 10 million illegal aliens you guys imported, what, seemingly overnight into this country? | ||
| And of course, George Conway has to say, well, maybe it was Joe Scarborough, I don't know. | ||
| It's going to be consequences if the MAGA agenda is rolled out. | ||
| Well, George and Joe, you mean consequences like, what, being on the precipice of World War III? Chinese spy balloons flying over military bases, drones that no one seems to know where they're coming from, record-breaking inflation, horrible trade deals, a wide-open porous southern border. | ||
| How about what happened in Afghanistan? | ||
| Or how about the fact that we're so weak and we have so many emboldened and empowered enemies abroad that we don't even know where drones, probably the size of this room, are flying in the skies of New Jersey and we don't even know which one of our enemies are flying them because we have so many damn enemies that Joe Biden can't hold to account or take on. | ||
| Yeah, that's Joe Biden's America. | ||
| I would say my money on that whole situation is probably the United States government. | ||
| But spare me, Morning Joe, the lectures about what the consequences of President Donald J. Trump's second, what should be third term, in office are going to be. | ||
| Because I don't know about you, when I look around and I don't need any fact checkers to help me out or NewsGuard or any of those hacks, I think we're already seeing the consequences of what? | ||
| A stolen election? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, and then by the way, let's also, you know, let's address the elephant in the news cycle, right? | ||
| All these tough, very smart people like George Conway are sitting there talking about the cyber attacks on the United States that the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for, right? | ||
| And they say, well, we can't do anything about it. | ||
| We don't know where they're coming from. | ||
| By the way, nice narrative convergence there. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The World Economic Forum has only been warning us about massive, looming, impending cyberattacks for how long? | ||
| But I'm sure there's no conspiracies, no coincidences there. | ||
| And I'm sure CISA, right, which is too busy censoring you guys and hacking our elections and pursuing whatever DEI agenda they want to, right? | ||
| Their pronouns, the dude's pronouns are Xi. | ||
| I don't think Xi Jinping of the Chinese Communist Party cares about that at all. | ||
| But they're so tough, they're so good at their job, yet they still can't tell us why what your phone was probably hacked by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| How did this happen? | ||
| Well, when they say that, they're not asking that as a question. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's sort of the matrix of incompetence or is it intentional, the age-old question of the Biden regime. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They ask that question in a sadistic sort of Disney villain way looking in the mirror. | ||
| Well, how did this happen? | ||
| How did we manage to destroy the United States and the dollar in just four years? | ||
| Now, quick asterisk on Disney. | ||
| Thank you very much for the $15 million. | ||
| We look forward to using that for President Trump's library. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I'll answer that question for you guys. | ||
| Because it starts with a little something called compromise. | ||
| Let's start with Bill Burns, the director of the CIA. Fun fact about Bill Burns, he used to be the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. | ||
| You know what's so funny about the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace? | ||
| They actually run a little something called the Xinhua Center for Global Policy. | ||
| Now, Xinhua is a Chinese Communist Party-run university that actually admits to, this isn't actually just reporting from the worm, they admit to it, waging cyber attacks on the United States. | ||
| They have an entire operation aimed at destroying the United States and using cyber security and cyber attacks to do so. | ||
| And that's our CIA director's business partner. | ||
| Now Bill of course lied to Congress about it and Congress didn't do anything when he lied. | ||
| But that's who he's in business with and that's who he took fists of cash from. | ||
| Now let's go to Avril Haines and lovely Jake Sullivan. | ||
| Because you know what they were doing before they joined the White House? | ||
| Yeah, they were fellows at the Belfer Center up at Harvard. | ||
| All the brilliant luminaries up at Harvard who, what, are so full of Chinese Communist Party cash. | ||
| Let's just call them Chinese because they basically are. | ||
| And you know what the Belfer Center did? | ||
| Well, let me read you the exact quote because this is so great. | ||
| They role-played fictitious cyber scenarios with members of China's People's Liberation Army. | ||
| Not just so China could know exactly how the United States would react if any entity of the United States were hacked by them, but so they could know all the vulnerabilities in our system. | ||
| But hey, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe I'm just a grun dune. | ||
| Maybe that's what neoliberal collaboration and globalism and open borders are about. | ||
| Just like the Wuhan Institute of Virology. | ||
| That's the reason why we have to send taxpayer dollars to our largest existential threat so they can engage in gain-of-function research. | ||
| Yeah, you guys really did a good job preventing the pandemic on that one. | ||
| Or how about this? | ||
| The fact that the Chinese Communist Party and all these tech execs who are now running down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring... | ||
| Yeah, I guess Mark had to take off the metaverse glasses to go actually outside. | ||
| Yeah, all those people built the technological systems that the Chinese Communist Party runs on. | ||
| Fun fact, it was actually Microsoft that built Windows China Government Edition. | ||
| Yeah, that's an actual thing. | ||
| That China uses to administer their entire country and repress all their people and help wage war against the United States. | ||
| So, gee, I wonder why Microsoft keeps getting hacked. | ||
| I know Bill Gates is a little off, so maybe he didn't get my sarcasm there. | ||
| But it's because you gave them the keys to the kingdom. | ||
| You let them in on the secrets. | ||
| It's called intellectual property theft, except you're profiting from it too. | ||
| It's theft from the American people. | ||
| Or how about the fact that Hunter Biden invested months, just months after a Chinese company was found guilty for pulling cybersecurity secrets from an American nuclear company. | ||
| Hunter Biden then invested in that Chinese company. | ||
| I think that's what we call a green light. | ||
| Hey, Xi Jinping, keep on doing it. | ||
| We'll give you money. | ||
| We'll give you a bounty if you can hack Americans' companies' top-secret nuclear stuff. | ||
| And then, of course, the DOD, the Pentagon, the Biden regime in its entirety has spent since day one overturning Trump-era bans on Chinese Communist Party-controlled technology and apparatus stuff that we have in the power system and the power grid, cybersecurity, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| Particularly at the Pentagon, though. | ||
| Because that makes sense. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Well, I guess it makes sense if you're trying to destroy this country. | ||
| But remember, if you say the words enemy within, you're crazy. | ||
| Well, I think what I just outlined is precisely the enemy within. | ||
| And I'll keep using that term. | ||
| And that enemy within is about to become the enemy exposed. | ||
| And all this talk about what? | ||
| The blanket preemptive pardons? | ||
| The only thing that I want that are going to be blanket? | ||
| Two things. | ||
| Blanket mass deportations and then blankets for the illegal aliens that we're going to be deporting. | ||
| So knock yourself out, Joe Biden or whoever's running the show. | ||
| Give all your cronies, all your hacks, pardons if you want to. | ||
| You can kill the Democrat Party. | ||
| And if you don't, Well, I guess you're all going to jail. | ||
| It's between a rock and a hard place. | ||
| And Chris Krebs, someone who I think we only really reference on this show for what might be the dumbest quote of 2020, that that election was the most safe and secure election that we've ever damn seen. | ||
| Well, it's so funny, Chris, because I'd like to introduce you to someone who might just disagree with you on that. | ||
| Let's roll it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| So just curious, is the, I don't know, technological infrastructure that you're talking about, does that apply to election infrastructure? | ||
| Because I thought when I said that, you said that we are crazy conspiracy theorists. | ||
| But thanks for making the case. | ||
| That you all committed treason. | ||
| Because if the Chinese Communist Party is at war with us, like you just said, well, you were their number one supporter, Chris Krebs, when you said that the 2020 election was safe, secure, you made sure we couldn't have audits so President Trump could assume the presidency rightfully, and you made it so someone who is so bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party could become president. | ||
| Someone who's essentially a prostitute for the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And no, I'm not talking about the people that his son hangs out with, the other business partners. | ||
| But you made sure that that man could sit on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and plunge this country even further down the road of losing that war to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So spare me your whole limited hangout. | ||
| I'm now Mr. Tough Guy on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You're probably one of their favorite Americans, second only to Joe Biden or Hunter Biden. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And here's the best part. | |
| The White House, what was it, December 12th, decided to launch a new task force called the China Censorship Monitor and Action Group. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Joe Biden now has a task force to monitor the censorship being conducted curiously by the Chinese Communist Party of Americans. | ||
| I'd look in the mirror on that one, Joe. | ||
| And apparently the Chinese Communist Party is trying to repress dissidents in the United States. | ||
| And I say apparently because I remember any time I ever said that or this audience has ever talked about that, that we were laughed out of the room and called absolutely crazy and had, what, broadcasting licenses revoked and fined and pulled off Spotify and YouTube. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Right? | ||
| This country treats the Chinese Communist Party nicer. | ||
| They're almost more welcoming to the Chinese Communist Party than they are to the tens of millions illegal aliens who want to enter this country for the most backwards perverse nations that you've ever seen on this earth. | ||
| You know, I was walking here today. | ||
| And it's so nice because, you know, War Room isn't allowed to be broadcast on, what, Spotify and YouTube. | ||
| You get censored if you even talk about what we say on this show. | ||
| But it's so nice because I'm walking here next to the Capitol, and I can get a nice copy of China Daily, the same state-run propaganda outlet that advertises in the New York Times, in the Washington Post, and every Western mainstream media outlet. | ||
| Really makes you think. | ||
| Sit on that for a second. | ||
| You in this country can't share the war room on Spotify, but what? | ||
| A stone's tossed away from the Capitol. | ||
| I can actually pull propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party, who's hacking our systems and the Biden regime is doing nothing about it because his son's profiting off of it and all of his top advisors told them what exactly our response was going to be. | ||
| That's Joe Biden's America for you. | ||
| And that's why they need blanket preemptive pardons. | ||
| And that's why we're very proud to be on the sanctioned list of the Chinese Communist Party in this show. | ||
| And I hope that I will end up on that too. | ||
| Because that's where Chinese Communist Party propaganda belongs. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| You are back in the war room where you got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898, getting the latest installment. | ||
| I think there's a new one about to drop. | ||
| The end of the dollar empire. | ||
| I guess that's quite clairvoyant given the fact that I believe the reporting suggests that a text of another, you guessed it, CR is supposed to drop tonight. | ||
| They will likely be voting on it Friday, but you know how these things are always fluid, always moving around, with the only variable there being, you know, which lobbyist can benefit the most or which America Last Agenda or country can steal more of our taxpayer dollars. | ||
| You can choose which one you'd like it to be. | ||
| This time, someone who I think I could tell from the break from his attitude is sick and tired of all of this. | ||
| It's, of course, the one and only Congressman Tim Burchett, who I also am going to ask about what's going on in New Jersey. | ||
| He is Mr. UFO in all things Congress. | ||
| Congressman, can you sort of give the audience the latest update, what they need to know about where we stand with the CR fight? | ||
| Yeah, you're getting ready to be crammed out, get something crammed down your throat that you won't like. | ||
| And we don't have the guts to stop it because America is doing their victory lap over Trump's win. | ||
| We're already in the majority over here in the House. | ||
| Let's act like it. | ||
| I get sick of this stuff, man. | ||
| It's just constant. | ||
| And all it is is a continuation of bad spending policies, of Pelosi-Schumer stuff, and then we pile our stuff on, make a few cuts, send it over to the Senate, and then it gets passed. | ||
| And they'll push us up against the deadline, up against Christmas break. | ||
| Everybody wants to get home. | ||
| I say push it up against December 24th. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm not going to vote for it. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| We need to pass a budget. | ||
| That's one thing constitutionally we're supposed to do, and we haven't done it in 30-something years. | ||
| It's just more of the same. | ||
| It's not going to change under Trump because we don't have the guts to back him up, and that's what bothers me about all this Doge stuff. | ||
| Marjorie will be great as the chair of that in the House. | ||
| She will take control, but I'm afraid some of the other people that they might put on this thing won't, and then they're going to lose their guts. | ||
| We'll do some great things the first few days, and we'll make a few cuts, and the liberals will go crazy, and then we'll just fall right in line. | ||
| That's my doggy downer for the day. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| We like the brutal reality here in the war room. | ||
| But can you sort of outline maybe to the audience, at least particularly in the context of this CR fight, when they're making the calls, what sort of the counter-proposal or proposition coming from you and your colleagues, the good ones that we have on this show, what that is shaping up to be? | ||
| Well, they won't come to us unless they need our votes. | ||
| And then we can make specific cuts. | ||
| So I suspect they'll get 100 or so Democrats, so they won't need the 15 or 20 of us that'll hold out like we did on the NDAA, which was another bad spending proposal. | ||
| I understand in the CR there's more spending for our military on top of the other. | ||
| So I suspect it's just going to be More borrowed money. | ||
| You've got to figure every dollar we're spending at this point is borrowed. | ||
| We add another trillion dollars every hundred days. | ||
| So there really is no opportunity to add anything. | ||
| There's no mechanism to do that. | ||
| They will, I assume, will suspend the rules and just bring it to the floor with little or no debate. | ||
| And then the debate that they have is just canned. | ||
| So I suspect I'll be totally ignored in all of this. | ||
| And so for your colleagues who are on one hand, you know, embracing the Doge stuff, they're posting the selfies with Elon, they're like schoolgirls, you know, giggling about the idea that we're going to cut government spending, which I think you and I to them would probably say, well, where were you the last few decades? | ||
| But how can you sort of hold those two worldviews in the same vote, in the same week? | ||
| Are you really saying that you think a lot of this Doge stuff from certain members at least is performative? | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| That's a big word. | ||
| I'm going to talk to my press guy and make sure he puts that in one of my speeches this week. | ||
| Performative. | ||
| You can have it. | ||
| Take it. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| But no, it's just the same old thing. | ||
| They'll go home and throw the MAGA out at the red meat over the Christmas break at their Christmas parties and everybody will be patting them on the back and then they'll come down here and they'll cut our throats. | ||
| What they do a lot of times, it's kind of a They'll say, I'm going to cut this, and then you say to cut that, and I won't agree to that, and you won't agree to yours, and then it all just gets funded again. | ||
| And that's sort of the way it's done. | ||
| It's crooked as a dog's leg, as they say in East Tennessee, and it really is. | ||
| And both parties are a part of that. | ||
| I talked to people all the time. | ||
| I talked to a person in the district today. | ||
| They were saying how it's going to all change next year. | ||
| It's all going to change. | ||
| And I said, I said, you know what? | ||
| We had 15, 20% of the population vote. | ||
| I said, it's not going to change. | ||
| And, oh, no, no, it was a huge land. | ||
| I said, no, no, you all, we say the same old stuff every dadgum time. | ||
| And then, you know, we're doing, as we're doing the victory lap, the left on our side and their mainstream, the Democrats mainstream, We'll just gin up, and they'll wait for their turn, and then we'll be more in debt. | ||
| You know, every 100 days we add another trillion dollars, and all they're talking about with Doge is cutting two trillion. | ||
| So, they're going to slow us down for 200 days. | ||
| You know, we got some major stuff. | ||
| When they start talking about cutting the Department of Education and sending that money back to the states, let's see, that's where the rubber's going to meet the road. | ||
| Let's see about those cuts when they start doing that. | ||
| They're all rah-rah on it, but now when their girlfriend and or wife loses their job or is going to get cut from their sweet lobbying position at some missile defense contractor, then you'll see what happens. | ||
| They'll leak all this stuff of how America's putting our safety at risk and all this stuff, and it's just more of the same. | ||
| It's like the Farm Bill, which it's got great stuff for my district. | ||
| But it still has food stamps buying cold drinks, you know, soft drinks, Coca-Colas, Pepsis, Mountain Dews, things like that. | ||
| It shouldn't do that, yet they won't even address that in the meetings, because why? | ||
| The soft drink manufacturers are greasing Washington. | ||
| That's all they're doing. | ||
| They got enough lobbyists up here, they can do anything they want, and the American public just does not pay attention to that. | ||
| They're too busy patting themselves on the back for this big victory. | ||
| And again, I'm sorry I'm being a doggie downer today, but it's just the truth. | ||
| I get so sick and tired of this bunch up here playing the American public, and it should make you all very angry at some point. | ||
| And you've got to start looking at your... | ||
| I don't care if you play golf with your member of Congress, man or woman, you know, you go to church with them, whatever. | ||
| If they're not voting, you're... | ||
| The will of their constituency, they need to get a new dadgum job, and it shouldn't be up here, and it sure as heck shouldn't be lobbying after they leave, but that's another thing. | ||
| What will solve all of this, or most of it, is if we have single issue spending bills. | ||
| Can you imagine if every legislator had to go to the House floor and explain on C-SPAN Why their bill costs $100 million. | ||
| If it's needed, if we've got to have it, then it should stand on its own merit. | ||
| But they can't do that, Natalie. | ||
| They've got to put it in a 2,000-page bill full of garbage, and that's exactly what they're doing. | ||
| And they do it every dadgum time. | ||
| And we say, this one's going to be different. | ||
| Or they'll say, the latest line is, oh, you've got to help us with this. | ||
| If we can get over this hump, We want to give Trump a clear 300 days or 100 days or whatever to do his, so he won't have to deal with this. | ||
| So you're telling me you're going to fund horrible programs, maybe some that don't even exist and you don't even know where the datgum money goes, like the Pentagon, and then you're going to do that to save Trump? | ||
| I would think save Trump would be right now making valuable cuts. | ||
| Congressman, I'm just curious because this year in particular almost seems more nefarious in the sense that the timing of it is supposed to, I believe, potentially go through mid-March, and it really seems like it's trying to tie up President Trump in particular with a lot of the stipulations, whether the NDAA are just sort of preempt, get ahead. | ||
| Of what he at least says he wants to do. | ||
| How is this going to interact with a lot of, not just in the realm of, you know, cutting the budget, waste, fraud, and abuse, or I think that's sort of the limited hangout. | ||
| There's more substantive, deep-seated issues that we have to go after. | ||
| But how will this impede so much of his agenda in the first hundred days? | ||
| Because the thing that he wants to cut will be that much more ingrained by 200 more days or after He's in office for 100 or so more days. | ||
| That's the way they're selling this, saying, oh, we need to give something so Trump doesn't have to worry about. | ||
| Yeah, we want to pass bad spending programs, continue the Pelosi-Schumer agenda, and that's how we're going to help President Trump in this country. | ||
| That doesn't make any sense at all, but yet that's what they're preaching. | ||
| That's what they'll tell us in conference tomorrow. | ||
| And that's the route they're going to go. | ||
| And it will continue down that path because we don't have the guts to do what's right. | ||
| And the American public doesn't have the guts to tell us to stop. | ||
| We're going to get into the drone stuff after the break, but just real quick, can you give me a minute when our audience is so devoted, they will make the calls, they will try to be your cavalry, your support, but what should they say to their members when they call on this CR in particular? | ||
| What's the pitch? | ||
| I would say if it doesn't reduce overall spending and it doesn't cut programs, then I wouldn't vote for it. | ||
| We can do better. | ||
| We can pass a budget if we wanted to. | ||
| We've got We've got a budget committee that just meets every week. | ||
| Jody Arrington out of Texas does an excellent job and I see him every week and I talk to him and talk to him about his frustration. | ||
| I used to be on the budget committee. | ||
| I used to be taken off because he didn't do anything. | ||
| He didn't do a budget. | ||
| It was just a dumping ground back then for Speaker Pelosi to It was the Insider Trading Committee. | ||
| Congressman, we've got to bounce to a break real quick, but if you can hang on, I know the audience wants to get your thought on these drones. | ||
| Warren Posse, in the meantime, make sure you're checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898. Get the latest installment of The End of the Dollar Empire. | ||
| Congressman Tim Burchett right after this short break. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| You're back in the war room. | ||
| Congressman Tim Burchette is still with us. | ||
| Now, you are sort of the tip of the spear when it comes to all things UFO investigations in Congress. | ||
| When I originally met you, it was your claim to fame when I was introduced to you. | ||
| So I thought you'd be the perfect person to sort of give your take on what you think is going on. | ||
| In New Jersey and just sort of the weird media and White House response to it, just sort of odd all around. | ||
| So what is your sort of overall assessment of what's going on there? | ||
| I'll correct you on something. | ||
| My claim to fame was my international good looks and my modeling career. | ||
| I will accept the fact check. | ||
| I think the Chinese are involved in it heavily. | ||
| We know that the componentry of these Of the drones is primarily reliant, like a lot of our military aircraft and missiles and things, is reliant upon the Chinese. | ||
| So they're obviously monitoring, just like the hot air balloon that flew over the country. | ||
| You remember the thing that transversed this country from the Aleutian Islands all the way off the coast of Myrtle Beach. | ||
| And actually, when it got halfway through, it turned around and went back the other way. | ||
| Yeah, they were finding information out, but honestly, we're so compromised. | ||
| Our national labs, our universities, they've got all those institutes they use to study, and they've put the Chinese Americans that are in these positions, not all of them, but the way they operate is they go up to them and whisper in their ear, hey, you know, your grandmother or your mom and dad are over and Shanghai or somewhere over there and, you know, they could disappear. | ||
| But if you just help us with a little information, you know, I'll take care of it kind of thing. | ||
| And that's the way they operate. | ||
| So they're everywhere. | ||
| They have compromised this country. | ||
| They've compromised this capital. | ||
| You know, they've had relationships with members of our own so-called intelligence committee. | ||
| So what are they doing? | ||
| With the balloon, And I feel it's the same way with the drones, whether they're on the joystick of them or not and running them or not. | ||
| They're monitoring our responses. | ||
| Our responses, not only militarily, which are non-existent right now, because our military says, They don't exist or they can't do anything about it, which is a lie. | ||
| And, you know, people are raising cane with their local law enforcement like they've got anti-aircraft guns or anything to take the dadgum things down. | ||
| So I believe the Chinese are monitoring the situation. | ||
| They're taking advantage of it. | ||
| They're watching our political response, our media response, and just the around town talk about it. | ||
| And you've got to remember New Jersey, though, God loved those folks. | ||
| They're great Americans, but dadgum, they were the most compliant during COVID, if you remember, one of the most compliant states. | ||
| They were the first ones to mask up and close their synagogues down and their houses of worship, and they had to fight all that up there. | ||
| God bless those Jewish folks that did fight it, because they were real patriots, I felt like. | ||
| I feel like it's kind of a multifaceted thing, whether they were evolved in it originally or not. | ||
| Now, some of those things, they call them orbs. | ||
| You see them, they flash. | ||
| You've got to realize that you and I are not trained to visually identify what these things are, but some of those things are Chinese lanterns. | ||
| They're made out of a real light paper and they have a candle in them and they flame up and they look, you know, they glow and they blow up and they Back and forth. | ||
| And some of them are airplanes that are taking off or coming in towards you. | ||
| But granted, a lot of them are drones. | ||
| So that's what I think. | ||
| I think the Chinese are involved in it one way or the other, whether or not it's them with a joystick or not. | ||
| I think they're the ones that are reaping most of the benefits from it. | ||
| And another thing is we're getting very used to it. | ||
| We're getting more and more used to it. | ||
| It's kind of at a fever pitch right now, but you know, in another week, as I used to say when I was mayor of Knox County, there's going to be another wreck on the interstate. | ||
| Not that I wish there was going to be another wreck on the interstate, but I knew something else would take us off. | ||
| Take the media off in another direction. | ||
| And something will, and those things will still be flying around. | ||
| So that's a long story on that, but that's my thought on it. | ||
| And I may be wrong. | ||
| I hope I'm wrong. | ||
| I think a lot of them, though, are just copycats, too, as well. | ||
| There's some good old boy out there. | ||
| But as I've heard in Tennessee, I heard they taste a whole lot like chicken. | ||
| And you don't see him flying around in Tennessee. | ||
| Because in Tennessee, everybody's got a 12-gauge shotgun, including this congressman. | ||
| It's wild to me, Congressman, though, that you sit there and you have the same questions that citizens do, too. | ||
| What has the effort been to sort of get any information out about what exactly... | ||
| I don't think the story is inherently or in and of itself the drones. | ||
| It's more the lack of response and just disinterest from the media to get to the bottom of it or the White House to do anything about it. | ||
| Has there been any moves to rectify that from Congress or what's happening there? | ||
| There has. | ||
| There was a meeting last week, a secured briefing in the SCIF. I did not go because what happens on the SCIF, Natalie, if they brief you Even if you already knew this stuff, you're not allowed to talk about it. | ||
| You're not allowed to talk. | ||
| You're supposed to say you're in a skiff, allegedly. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| And it's very porous. | ||
| And so I just didn't go because I knew it would be more the same. | ||
| And then what happened? | ||
| We get out a member said they think it's from an Iranian mothership. | ||
| And then somebody said, that's not true. | ||
| And it just went back and forth, back and forth. | ||
| And nothing has come from it. | ||
| The most powerful Military in the world. | ||
| In the world! | ||
| Not in the hemisphere, but in the dadgum world. | ||
| And we're not knocking these things down, and we're not... | ||
| That sends a clear message to our enemies. | ||
| I said on, I think it was Fox the other morning, I said, we're being tested, and you know what? | ||
| We're failing the dadgum test. | ||
| They are watching this, and they're watching our response, and we are not doing anything. | ||
| Could you imagine if, say, a submarine comes up off the coast, Anywhere, maybe New York, that area, implies a bunch of drones off the sub and they're explosive in nature or they're chemical warfare or biological warfare or something. | ||
| And our response would be, oh, that's just one of those drones. | ||
| The FBI won't do anything about it. | ||
| Nobody reports them and then something really bad happens. | ||
| That's the world we're living in right now. | ||
| And we better get with the program. | ||
| Or, hey, what about 15 million illegal aliens crossing the United States southern border? | ||
| Congressman, thank you for giving us so much of your time and doing a nice, very, I would say, wide review of everything that's going on now with, I guess, the common theme being, A, the Biden regime sucks, but B, your colleagues don't seem to do anything about it. | ||
| They ate and abet their awfulness, their terribleness. | ||
| Congressman, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything, you are trying to Emphasis on trying to work on where can they go to do that? | ||
| Go to my cool X account at Tim Burch. | ||
| It used to be Twitter and T-I-M-B-U-R-C-H-E-T-T. And that's where I do all my cool stuff. | ||
| People seem to like it the most. | ||
| I come off the house floor and I'm ticked off or I'm Getting attacked by protesters out here or some other radicals. | ||
| You were a hot commodity at the War Room Christmas party. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're one of the favorite guests. | ||
| That was a lot of fun. | ||
| It was great to be there with my buddy Matt Gates. | ||
| That's my mom and daddy's grave right there at Veterans Cemetery. | ||
| They put wreaths on this weekend. | ||
| And you can see the rocks on top of daddy's grave right there as Jewish folks come by. | ||
| Pay their respects to my mama and daddy. | ||
| So that's pretty cool. | ||
| They put the rocks up there and I dig that. | ||
| But anyway, I hope everybody has a very politically incorrect Merry Christmas. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The feeling is mutual. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon, Congressman. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Natalie, I hope you made a big diamond ring. | ||
| Oh, I'll settle for taking down the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And on that note, the one and only Mitch McConnell, I guess maybe had another glitch where he thought the American people cared what he has to say, and wrote an op-ed for Foreign Affairs. | ||
| So let's toss that up. | ||
| It's called The Price of American Retreat. | ||
| Why Washington Must Reject Isolationism and Embrace Primacy. | ||
| Well, Mitch, what fight have you ever had in the Senate for the American people? | ||
| We just listened to Congressman Burchett lay out how, what is it, in 10 years we're now facing our 35th CR where the argument every single time as to why we have to pass it is because, oh, we're going to fight on the next one. | ||
| This is just temporary. | ||
| It's the next one we're going to get the budget back and track. | ||
| The deficit's going to go down. | ||
| What fight have you ever mustered among Republicans in the Senate? | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is hacking our critical infrastructure, stealing elections, flying spy balloons. | ||
| Now they're probably flying drones. | ||
| You can't even bring yourself to say the words Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Is it because of your wife? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oops. | |
| Did I go there? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that's how compromise works in this town. | ||
| And then you have the nerve to go and write for foreign affairs. | ||
| I don't know if you're auditioning for a role maybe in Marco Rubio's State Department. | ||
| We don't want you. | ||
| You're not part of MAGA. Get out. | ||
| Resign. | ||
| You're irrelevant. | ||
| But shame on you in your final few days of being in the Senate. | ||
| Demanding. | ||
| I love the Freudian slip there, right? | ||
| You couldn't even leave the word price out of the headline of your article because you're so bought and paid for by every single lobbyist, special interest, military, industrial complex, beneficiary and member that you're worried about the price. | ||
| Because when you say the price, you're not talking about the cost of young American soldiers because you don't care about them. | ||
| That's the uncomfortable secret, the quiet part of the deal that you and all your buddies who are now trying to ram through a CR into the wee hours of the night. | ||
| Oh, but you're a very benevolent dictator, Mitch and Speaker Mike Johnson, because you honored the 72-hour rule. | ||
| Wow, you gave members of Congress 72 hours to read, what, 2,000 pages of documents that maybe we should just refer to as the eulogy of the United States, because that's what it is, not just to our financial system, but to the ruling agenda of President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| I can't believe you would write that. | ||
| But I guess actually maybe I can. | ||
| I know you didn't actually write it. | ||
| But shame on you. | ||
| By the way, just adding insult to injury, talking about how so much of this foreign affairs stuff is all astroturfed. | ||
| You know that big CNN story, how they released the prisoner... | ||
| No, not the January 6th ones. | ||
| Apparently some Syrian terrorist, and that's why we need to embrace the new ISIS affiliate taking over Syria. | ||
| So great. | ||
| He was a political dissident who was jailed for so long, but I guess on the clip when they're bringing him out, he doesn't really look all that bad or disheveled. | ||
| Turns out that he was actually... | ||
| Acting. | ||
| They got fact-checked by Syrian media. | ||
| He was actually, I believe, a first lieutenant in the Syrian Air Force. | ||
| Convicted, I think, of more petty financial crimes. | ||
| But he was actually responsible for jailing and persecuting, they say, detained and tortured young men on bogus charges. | ||
| So I guess naturally that's why CNN would have an affinity for them, right? | ||
| Because that's exactly what the Biden regime has done. | ||
| So maybe this whole Syria thing is starting to make a little more sense. | ||
| Then you got Leslie Stahl up on stage melting down that the American people don't trust the legacy media anymore. | ||
| With the little Harry Potter glasses. | ||
| How about you stop victim-blaming the American people for the fact that you guys have lied to us for decades, and I'm sorry we're not the dumb, imbecile, third-world migrants that you want to import into this country. | ||
| We have a little something called the American spirit, so we like to fight back. | ||
| We have a history of doing that against, what, repressive globalist regimes? | ||
| Just stop blaming us for not buying your BS anymore. | ||
| I know you never thought we were going to be back in power, but we are. | ||
| But hey, I guess, thanks Leslie Stahl for, what, giving me my job and making The War Room, this audience, so powerful? | ||
| Because you suck at your job so much. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The opinion of us, how many people trust the press anymore? | |
| I mean, we're way down there with the lawyers. | ||
| This is really rough, as you know. | ||
| You're way down there with Congress. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I mean, we're way down there with Congress, but we're way down there. | ||
| And I despair. | ||
| Seriously, I worry greatly. | ||
| And I think there are other institutions that have been suffering. | ||
| And you're right not to blame Donald Trump 100%, obviously. | ||
| Started many years before. | ||
| But we're at a point where if the President of the United States is going to say legacy media is dead, well, I guess Musk said that. | ||
| Legacy media is dead. | ||
| And he wants it dead. | ||
| He wants other media. | ||
| And I don't know how it recovers. | ||
| I'm very dark about it. | ||
| You're very dark about it. | ||
| I am. | ||
| You're back in the war room. | ||
| I told you it was bad. | ||
| Poor Leslie. | ||
| Why the long face? | ||
| Is it because you lost? | ||
| I thought you were a journalist. | ||
| I thought you were supposed to be nonpartisan, right? | ||
| That's what we've been told. | ||
| We've also been told that you were right on everything, right? | ||
| But wasn't it you that gave what was probably one of the most embarrassing softball interviews that I've ever seen to none other than Peter Doshak, the guy behind COVID-19 and EcoHealth Alliance who was receiving Fauci funds? | ||
| Yeah, did you even ask him about that? | ||
| Did you register for, I don't know, Farrah when you did that interview with the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| Because you single-handedly are probably the Western journalist who is the most responsible for covering up and lying intentionally about the origins of COVID-19. | ||
| Yet what does it feel like to be a useful idiot? | ||
| What was it like being a talent for hire for the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| Or what was it like defending Hunter Biden when you said, well, the hard drive, it's not real. | ||
| We're going to have to fact check you, President Trump. | ||
| Yeah, again, President Trump vindicated. | ||
| Maybe that's why you do what was it? | ||
| Stealth edit on your flagship program, 60 Minutes, the Kamala Harris interview, because you know how unlikable she is. | ||
| Or what else did you lie about? | ||
| I think, was it you who said that MTG was crazy for calling Democrats pedophiles? | ||
| Well, Leslie, maybe you should go back to your roots, maybe do some local reporting and go to some school board meetings and see the pornographic pedophilic grooming trash that Democrats are trying to force on children as young as four years old. | ||
| Then maybe you'd agree with MTG, right? | ||
| Where do you get, frankly, the moral authority, let alone the actual objective reality authority, to fact check us in the war room and melt down about mainstream media losing its legitimacy? | ||
| You never had any to begin with. | ||
| So stop victim blaming the American people for realizing and waking up to your lies. | ||
| This audience will run circles around you in terms of the truth. | ||
| And you're so dumb and out of it and delusional and probably on some foreign payroll that you wouldn't even know what to say because you can't even distinguish fact from fiction. | ||
| So you probably couldn't even say, oh, they're running circles around me. | ||
| Oh, they're destroying democracy because that's the only thing you have in your limited vocabulary. | ||
| If it's not bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, like what you did when you interviewed Peter Doshak. | ||
| I hope you sleep well at night having, what, blood on your hands for the millions of people across the globe who died because of that virus that you wanted to be the cover-up agent in charge for. | ||
| And while we're at it, speaking of the millions, yet, what is your name? | ||
| You're irrelevant. | ||
| Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos... | ||
| How dumb and cheap do you think the MAGA movement is? | ||
| Wow, you wrote a seven-figure check. | ||
| Might I add the lowest number to make it seven figures? | ||
| What, a million dollars? | ||
| You shouldn't even be at the inauguration. | ||
| I hope they give you standing room only seats. | ||
| We don't want you anywhere near our movement because we remember what you did when you, what, won the election? | ||
| Yeah, bro, you wasted a billion dollars to rig the election for Democrats and the best you can shell out for President Donald Trump is a million dollars. | ||
| Yeah, I'm old enough to remember that, what, the same bank that you probably hold those funds in, the same processing company that you use to wire that money, the same lawyers that you use to represent you, the same political advisors that you use to tell you who to donate it to, when they all tried to debank, deplatform, and frankly kill us and censor us on your stupid platform called Facebook. | ||
| So unless you want to donate that million dollars to freeing January 6th prisoners and giving them their lives back... | ||
| Why don't you go back to the metaverse? | ||
| And Jeff Bezos, why don't you go back to hanging out with Lauren Sanchez on your yacht? | ||
| Because we don't want you around this movement. | ||
| You've shorted this movement in this country for so long, a $1 million bid trying to grift your way into the MAGA movement. | ||
| You can join Leslie Stahl in the hall of irrelevant people who've lied to the American people and we've had it. | ||
| I think there's a lot of people who also belong on that list. | ||
| But maybe that's also just called the blanket preemptive pardon list at this point. | ||
| Someone who... | ||
| Wow, Mike, I just realized you got to start a new line of blankets called the preemptive pardon blankets at my pillow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mike, can you give the audience the latest? | |
| Yeah, I got a comment about Mark Zuckerbach. | ||
| Everybody, let me tell you about old Mark Zuckerbuck over at Facebook. | ||
| Before the 2020 election, the two months prior to the election, I could not do a Facebook commercial with my pillow if I was in it. | ||
| In other words, we had to remove my image from my own commercials, okay? | ||
| Then when I came out with absolute proof on February 5th of 2021, he put things over it that it said contains nudity and porn. | ||
| This was my election. | ||
| Remember when Absolute Proof, everybody? | ||
| This is what Mark Zuckerberg did to the movement back then. | ||
| And so now that you're spot on, it's disgusting that he thinks he can come in. | ||
| You know, he owes the world an apology, number one. | ||
| Everything that he did back then to suppress evidence. | ||
| Back to the bus for Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He suppressed evidence and all this stuff. | ||
| Hit us with the latest on pillows. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And I'm going to tell you, everybody, so... | ||
| You guys have helped get my pillow through. | ||
| I don't know if we'd be here without you. | ||
| And what we're gonna do, this is the last couple days. | ||
| It's today and tomorrow, I believe. | ||
| This is Giza Dream Sheets. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| Free shipping in time for Christmas. | ||
| You gotta order them now. | ||
| $69.98 for the Queen, $79.98 for the King. | ||
| Of course, we have twins and foals and stuff too. | ||
| These are flagship Giza dream sheets, exclusive to the War Room, free shipping, promo code WARROOM. Also the classic collection, remember those body pillows, great gift, $29.88, standards $14.88. | ||
| Now think of this, the multi-use MyPillow is only $9.88 and free shipping. | ||
| Now come on, we are doing this for you. | ||
| This is our big thank you to you all, but you need to do it now. | ||
| That's what Mark Zuckerberg should put his million dollars towards. | ||
| A bunch of my pillows. | ||
| Mike Lindell, we've got to jump, but as always, thank you so much for joining us on the show. | ||
| And Warren Posse, thank you for hanging with me. | ||
| Steve is back for the 6 p.m. | ||
| and tomorrow, but he's out on assignment. |
