| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| 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've tried 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? | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Wednesday, 5 March, Year of Our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Thank you for being here for the second hour of the War Room. | ||
| A lot going on. | ||
| So the White House on fire with activity today on many different fronts. | ||
| Elon Musk is about to appear up at the Republican conference on Capitol Hill. | ||
| He was at the Senate today at the Senate lunch, the weekly Senate lunch. | ||
| Not a lot of specifics. | ||
| They talked about Doge, but look, some people are getting hung up now because... | ||
| It looks like a consensus is building around a CR instead of for the rest of the year, instead of doing a 30-day CR, get the appropriations bills done, or wait and make sure that if you do it, you cut spending by 1%, which is not much. | ||
| But they're trying to avoid that by doing this end-of-year CR, and they want a clean CR. But people ask the question, hey... | ||
| How can we have all these doughs? | ||
| George Brown has a trillion dollars here. | ||
| It's a trillion dollars here. | ||
| It's a hundred billion dollars here. | ||
| It's a hundred billion dollars here. | ||
| Yo, dude, we can't, you know, you do a CR, it's an up or down vote. | ||
| So we can't finance it. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| So what they're talking about now is rescissions or impoundments. | ||
| That's all fine. | ||
| I love all those. | ||
| And I think I'm a huge supporter of that. | ||
| I think you have to be aggressive. | ||
| But you're going to get taken to the Supreme Court right away. | ||
| We know this. | ||
| And last night after the... | ||
| After the speech, the Supreme Court had a very small ruling, I shouldn't say small, on MSNBC and CNN. It's like it's the end of the Trump agenda. | ||
| It's far from it. | ||
| But the Supreme Court did not really put in the emergency docket and didn't say, hey, we're going to go see this. | ||
| They sent it back to the judge to be more specific. | ||
| And Natalie Winters from the White House, Mike Davis, was pretty adamant. | ||
| And he's close to these things, as you know. | ||
| He said, hey, President Trump ain't writing a check for anything. | ||
| I think this order is for $2 billion or something like USAID. And he's just saying, hey, not on my watch. | ||
| They're going to go back and argue. | ||
| Give us an update on this turmoil about spending, spending cuts, budget CR, and particularly the Supreme Court of these United States kind of stepping in the middle here, man. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, I think it's important to note that the Democrats are really eager to make this one decision seem like some huge sweeping victory for them. | ||
| Maybe it's, we'll call it a coping tactic, after last night. | ||
| But I think, like Mike was sort of alluding to, this is some process that we're going to have to let play out through the courts. | ||
| What do I mean by that? | ||
| It's not that this decision necessarily reinstates USAID and all those people who were rightfully terminated or fired or so much of the waste, fraud, and abuse that they identified is going to just automatically All it's essentially saying is that for work that had been accomplished under that sort of $2 billion umbrella, that those people will be compensated. | ||
| Again, Mike Davis and other legal experts are probably better equipped to understand how that will work itself out and work its way through the courts. | ||
| But I think, look, you're obviously talking about all things CR. | ||
| And I think through the same lens, right, that we're sort of sitting here critiquing all these congressional Republicans who want to talk so tough about Doge and the spending cuts and post the pictures with Elon and act like they're all fully in on the waste, fraud and abuse train. | ||
| Well, you know, in the same breath, they're not doing anything to meaningfully cut spending, right? | ||
| They're keeping it at Biden, if not even more inflated, Biden levels. | ||
| But I think that you can sort of draw that same comparison to what they're doing. | ||
| With USAID, because perhaps it's time for Congress to step up and defund, disband, do what, you know, President Trump was intending to do, that he was obstructed, potentially at least temporarily, via lawfare, and to stand in the breach and actually defund USAID, right? | ||
| President Trump doing it via executive order through, you know, the executive branch was sort of a unique approach to it, and that's why you've seen some of this legal pushback, right? | ||
| If you read the documents, if you read the argumentation, MSNBC always melts down and just says, oh, President Trump is depriving Congress of their authority. | ||
| So I would say that if they really want to have President Trump's back, they have a wonderful opportunity right now. | ||
| They've been set up to hit a home run. | ||
| So step up and defund USAID. I'm going to play a clip for you in a second when I get it up on Brennan and ask you about it. | ||
| I haven't had a chance because last night went on so long. | ||
| You and some other people, we thought it was smart to bounce, but I want to get your thoughts. | ||
| You watched that. | ||
| You saw the blowback. | ||
| I mean, it was bizarro. | ||
| And your hit, I think, with DJ was going viral. | ||
| And look... | ||
| Because it was such a human moment. | ||
| Last night, so powerful. | ||
| And you see what a great young man he is. | ||
| But the Democrats wouldn't even look at him, and they have, I think, Debbie Dingell rolling her eyes. | ||
| What's your assessment last night, after covering the White House for the first six weeks, being our correspondent over there? | ||
| Just the whole ambiance of last night, and particularly the attitude towards President Trump. | ||
| Well, I think it's actually just my thesis, though. | ||
| I guess it's not even a thesis. | ||
| It's confirmed from these last not just six weeks, six months, six years, but that there is no compromise with Democrats. | ||
| And I think you saw that on full display last night, not just for refusing to clap over what may be one of the most patriotic and sweetest young men I've ever met. | ||
| That is DJ Daniel, obviously applauding things like the southern border, just general things that are great for this country. | ||
| But Steve, to get more granular here. | ||
| Watching last night's speech gave me, I was going to say deja vu, maybe PTSD is more accurate terminology, but to the sort of first iteration of Trump resistance, right, to the 2016-era tactics. | ||
| Now, what did I say before the speech actually started when we were doing our special coverage? | ||
| That how they act would be a litmus test for whether or not they think that their newfound lawfare strategy, right, opposing President Trump primarily through the courts, sort of the brainchild of the Norm Eisen's of the world, was working. | ||
| And evidently, right, by the fact not only are they rolling out the, you know, ugly pink dresses and the man, you know, old man with cane screaming and kicking out, getting kicked out, walking out. | ||
| Even the protesters outside the Capitol or the mass demonstrations that they've been doing. | ||
| That is very reminiscent of 2016. And as someone who has really tracked the resistance, not just the money, but the people, the meetings, the planning, there was always a conscious, very conscious undertone. | ||
| We don't want to repeat the mistakes that we did the first time around. | ||
| And they were very cagey about mass mobilization and actual, for lack of a better word, kinetic protests, right? | ||
| Like boots on the ground. | ||
| And I think that you saw that mask totally slip last night. | ||
| Not just from Democrat members of Congress, but even just from rolling out the activists, you know, obviously the paid protester types, right? | ||
| Sort of the continuation of what's been going on at these town halls. | ||
| But I think that that was a very, very telling moment that Democrats are really scrambling in terms of trying to understand how to resist President Trump. | ||
| You know, I don't have time to play it, but Nicole Wallace, I want to go to DJ for a second. | ||
| Nicole Wallace had this bizarro, after seeing him last night, she had this bizarro, oh, he's a nice young man. | ||
| I hope he doesn't end up committing suicide if he stays as a policeman. | ||
| And fulfills his dream. | ||
| I hope he doesn't end up committing suicide or having to testify. | ||
| I mean, it just was bizarre. | ||
| It wasn't even a rant. | ||
| It was this kind of stream of consciousness. | ||
| Your thoughts, ma'am? | ||
| Is that projection? | ||
| Because I think working in law enforcement and someone like DJ Daniel represents what it means to have a profession that is so in line with defending your country, being true to yourself, and just loving, like he said, President Trump. | ||
| Frankly, I think it embodies, if you want to really get into it, actual masculinity. | ||
| I think the idea that that Secret Service agent, the new director, who in that picture of President Trump is so strong and protecting and defending him, and then in the same, you know, Just a few months later, he's there holding up, hugging, celebrating with this young guy. | ||
| That represents the renewal of America. | ||
| And for someone like Nicole Wallace to sit there, who has only ever lied and lied and lied to the American people, has a profession that is, frankly, more degrading, disgusting, and depraved than, I mean, I put prostitution up there. | ||
| Like I said, it's projection. | ||
| And having just had the opportunity to have met DJ Daniel, to even attempt to taint or tarnish his memory the legacy of what he just did is so beyond reprehensible and you know what MSNBC I know this probably hits really close to home because you guys have spent years trying to brainwash this country into hating police, | ||
| hating firemen, hating law enforcement but I hate to break it to you that there actually are some 13 year olds out there who actually want to be cops And don't just want to be transgender, so I'm sorry that your programming didn't work. | ||
| But I think DJ Daniel is a wonderful example of someone who, despite very unfortunate circumstances, has really held the line and stood in the breach of propaganda from losers and hacks. | ||
| People like Nicole Wallace. | ||
| Natalie, I thought of you with Brennan today. | ||
| They announced, you know, they were going to sign the deal for last night. | ||
| President Trump not only did not do that, he says he signed an executive order to mine rare earths, particularly in places like Minnesota. | ||
| Also today, as you know, he pulled the plug on intelligence sharing for Ukraine. | ||
| And Brennan went off. | ||
| Let's play the clip because I thought of you about the color revolution and there's a buried lead in here. | ||
| From Brennan himself, the former CIA director. | ||
| Let's go and play it. | ||
| Director Brennan, what is the consequence for Ukraine's ability to prevail or to continue to fight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's potentially devastating. | |
| U.S. support to Ukraine to confront Russian aggression has many different components to it. | ||
| There are the weapons, there's the munitions. | ||
| There's the logistical support and the technical systems that empower those capabilities. | ||
| There's also military advice and guidance. | ||
| And then there's intelligence. | ||
| Intelligence is the lifeblood that gives all of those other components the capability to push back against the Russians. | ||
| And so if you take away the intelligence, you're making the weapons, the capabilities, the munitions, technical systems, and other types of things enfeebled by taking that away. | ||
| And so over the past, over a decade, the United States has been providing support to Ukraine to be able to build up its capabilities, but to again infuse their capabilities with the intelligence that we're able to obtain. | ||
| Yeah, this is not a one-way street. | ||
| Over the past decade, the Ukrainians have provided a lot of intelligence to us, giving us insights about what Russian capabilities are. | ||
| And so, therefore, this extortionist approach to trying to get Zelensky to basically fold to the Trump administration's wishes as far as some type of peace arrangement that looks more like a surrender, the way that Trump is talking about Putin and Russia. | ||
| Over a decade. | ||
| That gets back to Victoria Nuland. | ||
| I mean, he just outed himself, right? | ||
| They've always kind of denied that. | ||
| Over a decade would put you right at the color revolution. | ||
| And Brennan is one of the leaders of the color revolution here, is he not, ma'am? | ||
| Well, and it's also when, what, the Hunter Biden, I believe, and Anthony Fauci pardons began, but I'll digress on that. | ||
| Look, I think that this idea of intel sharing, much like the long-range missile, you know, no conspiracies, no coincidences, I'm just saying, but it sort of goes to just the ability to always continue to escalate that war, right, whether it's the long-range missiles and their sort of litany of demands that I don't understand where they get the moral, ethical, or political superiority to think that they can make any demands to the United States. | ||
| In the words of President Trump, you have no cards. | ||
| The idea of intel sharing has always been sort of first and foremost. | ||
| But I think that there's sort of the other side of the coin of this, which I think dovetails probably more closely with the color revolution tactics and frankly what I think this show is more concerned about, which is what is going on here at home. | ||
| And so much of that has been the, and I use this word fully intentionally, which is the information warfare, the domestic propaganda, and I'm not just talking about what Obama did in terms of legalizing that, but the idea that they have played it very, very, very close to home and weaponized a lot of resources under Joe Biden to very carefully curate and craft narratives about why the Ukraine war started, the deaths, the, you know, just... | ||
| Inability for really anything to actually break through on the ground, right? | ||
| Remember the lies that they used to tell us, oh, Ukraine's winning, Ukraine's winning, and then there's a big expose. | ||
| They're like, actually, that didn't happen. | ||
| But just a week after the fighting broke out, the Pentagon launched what was called the Influence and Perception Management Office. | ||
| Like I said, just one week after Russia invaded. | ||
| And it was very vague. | ||
| They didn't explicitly announce it. | ||
| It was just sort of like buried in finance reports. | ||
| But it showed that they were using, in their words, Propaganda internationally and domestically to sort of craft narratives about the Ukraine war. | ||
| And I would extend that out. | ||
| There was a big news cycle, people may remember, where a lot of Americans and Westerners were registering with Farah to essentially work as like social media. | ||
| Promotional agents to sort of lobby media outlets to cover Ukraine in a certain way. | ||
| I remember one of those FARA filings even showed that people had reached out to people at the RNC trying to get, you know, certain coverage of Ukraine. | ||
| And, you know, when I look at my background and so much of this being in CCP... Infiltration and reporting like that, the FARA database is always sort of a goldmine for that. | ||
| And I think that if you sort of continue out, right, what they've done, it always has been from the get-go a psychological operation to dupe Americans into thinking that the only way you can support democracy is by supporting Ukraine. | ||
| And the number one tells Steve. | ||
| And I know we've hammered this, but I think it's all the more important as we approach, rather, hopefully an impending audit. | ||
| The Biden regime knew that the numbers in terms of support for the Ukraine war among American people were slipping drastically in the final months of his presidency. | ||
| And instead of realizing that what the American people wanted to see was transparency and an audit, that would be the logical solution, they pushed the lie that the Ukraine war was actually boosting America's manufacturing base and industrial base and that it was great for the American economy. | ||
| And that right there, I think, is one of the biggest tells that you've ever seen, that they knew what they would uncover with that audit would be so damning that the numbers would somehow ratchet up even more. | ||
| So in terms of understanding what we need to audit, I think if there's any mineral deal that's signed, we need to make sure that Zelensky plays ball and gives us the list of names. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| One last thing, because you've been one of our lead investigators and not the lead on the CCP. This issue with the tariffs. | ||
| And President Trump's working on some arrangement of auto manufacturers. | ||
| It's a little complicated on the Canadian side. | ||
| But I guess one of the Chinese ambassadors, and I've got Forrest Chu who's going to join us here at the bottom of the hour, said yesterday, he said, hey, if Buffett's right, this is economic war, we're ready for a trade war, we're ready for any type of war. | ||
| Pete Hegseth came back today and said, the United States is ready if we have to go kinetic. | ||
| Your thoughts about around the White House, what's the thinking? | ||
| Is this ratcheting up? | ||
| I mean, look, we're the anti-CCP guys, but is this ratcheting up a little too rapidly, at least in the rhetoric side, against the CCP, ma'am? | ||
| Well, they said, and I quote, that they're ready to fight till the end. | ||
| That's a direct quote coming from the Chinese embassy here in the United States. | ||
| They were quote-tweeting that ambassador that you were talking about. | ||
| I think that it's, frankly, the Chinese Communist Party admitting something, a strategy we've obviously discussed here for how long, which is the idea of unrestricted warfare, right? | ||
| A people's war, which they've launched. | ||
| I guess maybe they've realized the last four years they got to take a little sabbatical, a hiatus, right? | ||
| Because they didn't need to wage that war because they were essentially invited in here with open arms. | ||
| But the issue of the tariffs, President Trump is putting a, I believe, 30-day, kind of one-month pause for three of the top automobile manufacturers, just to give them... | ||
| I think that the timing, right, of China really, really, really ratcheting up their rhetoric in terms of, you know, we're going to fight till the end and all that. | ||
| I think it's really rooted in the TSMC deal, right? | ||
| There's yesterday the $100 billion for the five factories in Arizona. | ||
| Because what have they done? | ||
| They've worked decades and spent how much money and personnel and blood and treasure into, you know, infiltrating as opposed to invading this country. | ||
| So deals like that are not allowed to be made for a litany of reasons, not just for national security and supply chain reasons, but also just to continue to tank our economy. | ||
| And I think yesterday, like we said, was a paradigm shift. | ||
| And you know, the Chinese Communist Party always used these things in the sort of Thucydides trap lens. | ||
| And I guess the United States makes a comeback. | ||
| And maybe we're just not that declining power after all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
all. | |
| Maybe they realized with the closure of USAID, the United States is no longer on the path of managed decline. | ||
| I think they're lashing out like a petulant child. | ||
| But it'll be interesting to see in terms of the rhetoric heating up. | ||
| Natalie, what's your social media? | ||
| Where do people get you until you're back on tomorrow? | ||
| Natalie G. Winters on all platforms. | ||
| And if you haven't watched, you've got to watch the DJ Daniel video. | ||
| My phone's already blowing up. | ||
| People love it. | ||
| Hey, a great American in honor to have interviewed him. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| We're going to play it a little later in the show. | ||
| It is blowing up. | ||
| Going viral. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Dr. Bradley Thayer, you're here because no ideas have consequences. | ||
| A very important idea I want to get out there that you brought to my attention about the Democrats last night. | ||
| But since you are our resident expert on all things CCP, Can you pick up there from Natalie about the ambassador? | ||
| I mean, it's pretty brazen, right? | ||
| We put these tariffs on, and it's not like the old days. | ||
| The ambassador to the United States, because the Chinese have a way, you know, the CCP has a way of kind of trying to accommodate and do things, you know, behind the scenes. | ||
| This guy's right up in your grill. | ||
| We're ready for a trade war. | ||
| We're ready for an economic war. | ||
| We're ready for any kind of war you want, guys. | ||
| We're down for it. | ||
| Pete Hegg said today, the Secretary of Defense, this morning on Fox and Friends, said, hey, the United States is ready to roll. | ||
| If you've got to go to Connecticut against the Chinese, we're ready. | ||
| Tell me about the, first of all, the CCP. Is this their normal response when they have an economic issue like tariffs, sir? | ||
| Steve, great to join. | ||
| It is, their response. | ||
| Their bark is going to be far worse than their bite. | ||
| The CCP's got feet of clay. | ||
| Their economy is in the tank. | ||
| Steve, as you well know, they've got a legitimation crisis. | ||
| They have so many problems that they're facing that they're confronting today. | ||
| They're supremely vulnerable to these pressures. | ||
| And what President Trump is doing expertly is devising these tariffs to start chipping away really at the Economic relationship that we have with the People's Republic of China. | ||
| And you'll note, Steve, very well the measures that President Trump announced last week too, right, with respect to going after China. | ||
| So it's more than tariffs. | ||
| It's the recognition that the CCP is a threat to the United States. | ||
| And the Trump administration is working actively to address it. | ||
| So of course, the ambassador and the foreign ministry are going to say these things that they're ready for war. | ||
| And they're willing to engage in any type of war that the US wants. | ||
| Well, in part, that's just recognizing the reality that in fact, the CCP has been at war with the United States since they came to power in 1949. And then as they restated again and 2019 when Xi Jinping, the communist dictator declared people's war against the United States to focus the energies of the party and the people on of the US. So that's just making explicit really what's been going on for a very long time. | ||
| Hexas remarks were spot on and absolutely necessary. | ||
| So we should expect this type of reaction from the CCP. They know they're vulnerable. | ||
| And they're trying to scare us off, but it's not going to work with President Trump and Secretary Hexeth and President Trump's team. | ||
| Talk to me about, Forrest is going to join us here at the bottom of the hour. | ||
| I want to go to a concept you brought up to me last night. | ||
| I was talking about the Democrats and how they're acting. | ||
| You said, Steve, you're not really thinking through Lenin theory. | ||
| This is revolutionary defeat-ism. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| This is part of their playbook? | ||
| Absolutely it is. | ||
| And that's what also applies to the Democrats' behavior last night in the historic address that President Trump gave. | ||
| So when we're thinking about... | ||
| Of the CCP or we're thinking about the behavior of the Democrats, we need to think not in American terms, but we need increasingly. | ||
| Obviously with the CCP we need to think of these terms, but with the Democrats in terms of ideas that are coming not out of American tradition, not out of American political culture, but out of progressivism or out of Marxism or Leninist thought. | ||
| So Lenin had the idea, what he called revolutionary defeatism. | ||
| Which is often known to the audience who might remember Lenin's quip, the worse the better. | ||
| By which he meant the worst things are for the government of Russia, for the Tsarist government, the worse it is for the Russian military, the worse it is for the Russian people and peasants, the better it is for the Revolutionary Party. | ||
| So Lenin wanted things to go as bad as possible for Steve, if we reflect on the Democrats last night in this historic speech where Trump gave his vision for America, he talked about so many positive elements, a golden age. | ||
| He introduced, obviously, DJ Daniel, the angel mothers, the... | ||
| Family of the firefighter murdered in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And Robert F. Kennedy Jr., right? | ||
| Make America healthy again. | ||
| The Democrats didn't react to any of it, right? | ||
| They were stone-faced. | ||
| Absolutely opposed to any of that. | ||
| So when we think about their behavior in conjunction with going back to President Obama's behavior, President Biden's behavior with an open border, who would open the US border? | ||
| Who would enact a strategy of of a very carefully thought out series of policies to open the American border to allow tens of millions of people unbedded into the United States. | ||
| Well, that's a party that's trying to make it the worse, the better, right? | ||
| They want to immiserate the American people, make the American condition far worse. | ||
| And what did President Trump do last night? | ||
| What President Trump did is just turn that on its head, right? | ||
| The better for the American people, the worse for the Democratic Party and for the CCP, importantly, right? | ||
| So the better, the worse. | ||
| That's what Trump did last night. | ||
| And what Trump has been doing... | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| This is the whole six weeks. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I'm going to hold you through the break. | ||
| And Forrest Chu is going to join us also. | ||
| Dr. Bradley Thayer. | ||
| Our go-to guy on all things Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Revolutionary defeatism. | ||
| Explains the Democrats last night. | ||
| It's quite, quite amazing. | ||
| It's ratcheting up. | ||
| It's heating up with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| I think on our side of the football, the decouple team, I think we're winning here. | ||
| It doesn't mean we're going to win ultimately. | ||
| The Chinese, the ambassador you saw, the CCP is just not going to sit there. | ||
| This is why Jace Medical, I think now, the guys that executed on the theory of Rosemary Gibson on her book, Dr. Sean Rawls and the team, said, hey, they're going to use every strategic asset in the world to come against the United States. | ||
| One that they've got, they control all the generic manufacturing of drugs. | ||
| And if you're dependent upon that, you've got a problem. | ||
| JaceMedical.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Go there today. | ||
| Talk to Dr. Sean and the team about getting ahead of the curve. | ||
| In case anything happens with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Because they're going to look to shut it down if they have to. | ||
| The supply chains. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in the warm in a moment. | ||
| Wild day in the capital markets. | ||
| I mean a wild one. | ||
| Every day I think it's going to be like this. | ||
| We're going through a fourth turning. | ||
| It's going to be turbulence, folks. | ||
| President Trump on the hero's journey. | ||
| It's kind of got point for us. | ||
| Of course, you're the vanguard, the cadre of this movement. | ||
| But we've got a long way to go in a very tough fight. | ||
| And you saw the Supreme Court. | ||
| We've got to fight through that. | ||
| A lot of stuff coming on Twitter about Amy Coney Barrett. | ||
| I'll probably, hopefully, get more into that tomorrow. | ||
| Birch Gold. | ||
| They do a couple things. | ||
| One, the end of the dollar empire, modern monetary theory. | ||
| As you know, one of the finance professors at the University of Arkansas is making a mandatory reading for his finance class at an undergraduate level. | ||
| I think that's pretty impressive. | ||
| That's what we want to do is make it kind of a college level, but make it accessible to everybody that doesn't have economic backgrounds, etc. | ||

| I tell you what, before I do that, one more time, I'm going to play that clip in a second. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, real quickly, just take a minute or two. | ||
| This concept, we love, we say ideas have consequences. | ||
| And last night, what you framed, you said, hey Steve, there's actually a strategic They're being very strategic here. | ||
| They're being, quite frankly, kind of disciplined. | ||
| And they're following the discipline of Lenin with the Bolsheviks. | ||
| Remember, the Bolsheviks were a very tiny party that took over Russia. | ||
| And they took over Russia by a fierce internal discipline and take no prisoners. | ||
| I mean, these people were some of the hardest folks in the world. | ||
| Revolutionary defeatism. | ||
| What is it, sir? | ||
| And why did we see it on display last night? | ||
| In the nation's capital of the greatest republic in mankind's history, sir? | ||
| Yes, Steve. | ||
| So Vladimir Lenin advanced the idea that the worse things were for the Russian people, for the Russian military, and for the Tsar's government, the better it was for the Revolutionary Party. | ||
| Advancing revolutionary goals, the better it was for the Bolsheviks. | ||
| So he said the worse, the better. | ||
| So he did everything he could do in conjunction with his party, the Bolshevik party, to undermine the Russian war effort in World War I and thwart to the extent he was able. | ||
| Any Russian goal. | ||
| So what we're seeing with he wanted to make things as bad as possible for the Russian people so that the revolution would come about sooner. | ||
| Well, what did we see last night? | ||
| Well, the Democrats are really following that policy of immiseration. | ||
| What they're trying to do is make things as bad as possible with the Obama administration and the Biden administration. | ||
| And we talked about the example of the open border policy where We really don't know how many people came into the United States in the years of the open border. | ||
| The support for the People's Republic of China, the weakening of the United States, the horrible withdrawal from Afghanistan. | ||
| These are all policies if you think about it strategically from that point of view of the Democratic Party that this is really revolutionary defeatism. | ||
| The Democrats are trying to do what they can to immiserate the American people to advance their agenda. | ||
| And President Trump is not having any of it. | ||
| He's turning that on his head. | ||
| He loves America. | ||
| He loves the American people. | ||
| And he's trying to make things better. | ||
| For the American people and thus make things much worse for the Democrats and for the Chinese Communist Party and other enemies of the United States. | ||
| So what Trump is doing is brilliant. | ||
| And what the Democrats are doing when we think about it through a Leninist lens, right? | ||
| Not through the traditional American lens because the Democrats just really seem to be, don't they, out of- American political history and political culture. | ||
| The way they behaved last night was just the latest example of that, right? | ||
| What Al Green did was absolutely beyond the bounds of acceptable behavior. | ||
| The fact that they had no reaction whatsoever to the Angel Moms, to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to The other poignant, the young man who's going to West Point, of course, and DJ Daniel. | ||
| You had there at one place and one time two starkly different conceptions of the United States. | ||
| One, Trump's backed by the Republicans in the chamber and in the audience, strongly supporting that golden age for the United States. | ||
| Americans who are invested in America and furthering and making life better for the American people. | ||
| Versus the revolutionary defeatists, right? | ||
| That would be the Democrats who are doing what they can do, not to have a golden age, but to immiserate the American people, just as Lenin would want for that revolutionary party. | ||
| So in one place, one time, that's why this was historic, not just for Trump's address, but you had two visions of the United States on display there. | ||
| And the American people spoke overwhelmingly. | ||
| You've noted the polls that Trump's vision, the golden age of America, is what the American people want. | ||
| This is what they want. | ||
| Let's pivot now to, as Captain Jim Fennell says, your writing partner, the main thing, right? | ||
| I want to play a clip. | ||
| From our own Pete Hex, a close friend and a good buddy and a great man, head of DOD. Let's play it. | ||
| I want to bring it for us. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the clip. | ||

As the speech wrapped up last night, this was posted by the Chinese embassy. | |
| Quote, if war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end. | ||
| As Secretary of Defense, how do you take that? | ||
| Well, we're prepared. | ||
| Those who long for peace. | ||
| Must prepare for war. | ||
| That's why we're rebuilding our military. | ||
| That's why we're reestablishing deterrence and the warrior ethos is because we live in a dangerous world with powerful, ascendant countries with very different ideologies. | ||
| You mentioned defense spending. | ||
| They're rapidly increasing their defense spending. | ||
| Modern technology. | ||
| They want to supplant the United States. | ||
| If we want to deter war with the Chinese or others... | ||
| We have to be strong. | ||
| And that president understands peace comes through strength. | ||
| He also has a great relationship with that gentleman right there, too, Xi Jinping. | ||
| So where we can partner, where we can cooperate to recognize that we don't want war with China, we don't seek that war, we will. | ||
| And the president has sought historic peace and historic opportunities. | ||
| But my job as the Secretary of Defense is to make sure we're ready. | ||
| We need the defense spending, the capabilities, the weapons, and the posture in the Indo-Pacific, which is something we're very much focused on. | ||
| And what Pete Hex has done is add the warrior ethos. | ||
| Forrest Cho, I want to bring it to you first. | ||
| It's pretty extraordinary, at least to me. | ||
| You're the head of the new federal state since Miles has been detained. | ||
| You've been doing a great job as our leader. | ||
| But is it pretty unusual for the Chinese ambassador to be that aggressive? | ||
| Hey, guys, if you want a trade war, we'll do it. | ||
| You want any kind of war, we'll do it. | ||
| We're ready to fight to the end. | ||
| Your thoughts on that first. | ||
| Yes, that's very common, what they call that wolf warrior, right? | ||
| That's Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| But first of all, I would like to say it is very essential to differentiate CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, and the people. | ||
| Because the Chinese Communist Party is a totalitarian regime, which enslaved the Chinese people for over 70 years. | ||
| The Chinese people, Long Baixin, are peace-loving and hard-working people. | ||
| They don't want war. | ||
| They don't want trade war. | ||
| They don't want war. | ||
| So I think it's the CCP, they want war. | ||
| When they say that statement, we will fight to the end, they are talking about sacrifice of the Lao Baixings, just like what we see in Ukraine. | ||
| The dictatorship used the war as their tool to keep them in power and keep their global influence globally. | ||
| So that's the CCP talk, no doubt about it. | ||
| But let's think about it. | ||
| While we are still talking about a potential war, I think... | ||
| Back in 2017, Miles and you already warned the U.S. and warned the world that the CCP is waging the war against the free nation, free country against USA, right? | ||
| This war included the fentanyl crisis. | ||
| We have over 100,000 people die every year. | ||
| That's a war. | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| What about the COVID-19? | ||
| How many people died from COVID-19? | ||
| And the CCP, you know, used their... | ||
| Misinformation and cover up all the other informations. | ||
| And they also take all the PPEs to jeopardize the effort here in the US. So that's unrestricted warfare. | ||
| What about the industry and also the technology espionage? | ||
| They have a cyber attack, cyber affair happening in this country. | ||
| And Huawei, TikTok, and Zoom. | ||
| All those companies is working. | ||
| All bikined by the PLA, by the CCP. So they already waged war on USA. So I think we have to be aware of that. | ||
| And also their propaganda, right? | ||
| The Winter just brought up that. | ||
| Back to the years, they talk about the China is rising, the Americans falling. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Hang one second. | ||
| Go back and describe to our audience, what do you mean by wolf warrior? | ||
| The ambassador was very aggressive. | ||
| Normally, the ambassadors are trying to be diplomatic. | ||
| That was not. | ||
| That was up in your grill. | ||
| What is the concept of wolf warrior? | ||
| Explain it to our audience. | ||
| Okay, the wolf warrior, basically, they won't back down. | ||
| They will use everything to threat the world, threat their people, threat the peace of the world. | ||
| That's the wolf warrior. | ||
| They won't back down. | ||
| They won't negotiate because they don't care about their people's well-being. | ||
| All they care is about their power, their, let's call that face. | ||
| So they want to save their own face and just sacrifice their own people and threaten the whole world. | ||
| That's what's defined as a wolf warrior. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, in the concept of the wolf warrior, Pete Hegseth, our friend and colleague, was that false bravado? | ||
| I mean, we've talked about this a lot. | ||
| Are we prepared to defend Taiwan? | ||
| I'm saying, forget whether we make a decision or not. | ||
| Is the Seventh Fleet prepared to defend it? | ||
| Are we prepared to take the Chinese Communist Party on if a shooting war starts in East Asia? | ||
| Sir, is Pete Hegseth right to say, hey... | ||
| You want to get it on, we're ready to get it on, and the United States will prevail, sir? | ||
| Well, the U.S. military, of course, is a formidable force in any environment, in all environments. | ||
| And so if the PRC were to make the decision to attack Taiwan, to attempt to conquer it, I think that they would incur very significant costs, which is, you know, what Pete Hegseth is doing, is doing underscoring our deterrent capabilities. | ||
| Which are considerable. | ||
| There's no doubt a lot of work has got to be done, Steve, in terms of our conventional posture and in terms of our nuclear posture as well. | ||
| But if the war were to come, of course, their political warfare is ongoing as Forrest has stressed, right? | ||
| That they've been waging war at us through many means for a very long time. | ||
| If it were to go kinetic, of course, then U.S. capabilities in conjunction with allies. | ||
| Like Japan, are going to ensure that the PRC incurs a very significant cost in it. | ||
| Trump administration is doing what it can do to turn this around. | ||
| And you saw in the speech, the emphasis on shipbuilding, emphasized on military power. | ||
| All of those are very positive developments, which are only going to further strengthen our deterrent, and if deterrent fails, warfighting capabilities in the Indo-Pacific. | ||
| Dr. Thayer, where can people get your writings, your prolific, your knowledge of the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist doctrine? | ||
| You always continue to remind me, don't think of them in too much of a Western context. | ||
| This is very much a Confucian mentality, but it's also primarily Marxist, Leninist ideology. | ||
|

|
So where do people go to get all your writings? | |
| Brad Thayer at Extra, Bradley Thayer at Getter and Truth. | ||
| Thanks very much, Steve. | ||
| Thank you, Dr. Thayer. | ||
| Revolutionary defeatism. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Forrest, you heard Pete Heggs as Secretary of Defense, and you heard, you know, you've explained this wolf warrior mentality. | ||
| Do you believe that the Chinese Communist Party is prepared to go to a kinetic war, a conflict now, over Taiwan in the South China Sea or in the Straits of Taiwan, sir? | ||
| Okay, I think only a few people, including Xi Jinping and a handful of loyal persons, will want this war. | ||
| Let's look at it. | ||
| There is a lot of pressure building up inside China. | ||
| We talked about the economic pressure before. | ||
| We know there was a military purge that happened in China, which is initiated by Xi Jinping. | ||
| There's nobody he can trust. | ||
| So I don't think even on the higher level in the CCP... A lot of people don't want war. | ||
| They want to keep themselves safe. | ||
| They want to keep their offspring who are abroad to keep their asset and their children safe. | ||
| So I think there is a lot of internal pressure. | ||
| Those people are looking for regime change or leader change. | ||
| And the most important thing I would like to say is the people. | ||
| The people are wakening up in China. | ||
| Because we talked about the marriage rate plummeted over like 21% last time. | ||
| The Chinese people had enough. | ||
| They will never trust the Chinese Communist Party and their lies and their propaganda. | ||
| That's why even if they want to start a war, the Chinese people will overthrow this government and they won't support this war. | ||
| And also the internal people won't support Xi Jinping and the dictatorship. | ||
| Think about the Ukraine. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| They've had a huge purge. | ||
| You've brought us up to speed on that over the last six months to a year. | ||
| A huge purge of the military under Xi. | ||
| You're saying, did you just say you believe there's actually a shooting war if we go kinetic? | ||
| That Lao Bai Jing, that will be the movement that Lao Bai Jing will overthrow the regime, sir? | ||
| The Lao Bai Jing, including the internal people, which is the high-level people. | ||
| Because they know the system is not sustainable. | ||
| Because you saw even the high-level ranking people is thrown in prison and they disappeared. | ||
| So they had enough. | ||
| In order to keep themselves and their families safe, they have to make the decision. | ||
| They have to act. | ||
| Rather than just follow Xi Jinping or the dictatorship to go to war to destroy everything they had. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| We got about a minute. | ||
| I want to go to the economic situation because they present a series of numbers that are not great, but they're not awful. | ||
| Of course, very smart people are saying those numbers are much, much worse than that. | ||
| Your assessment of the real economic conditions in China today? | ||
| You can never trust anything coming out from CCP's mouth, right? | ||
| All the numbers are fake. | ||
| We talked about the youth unemployment rate is already over 40, 50. So the manufacturing is leaving China. | ||
| We talked about Apple. | ||
| We talked about the TSMC. The economic situation is very bad, including the real estate sector, which is in deep trouble back in two years ago, two, three years ago. | ||
| It's even worse nowadays. | ||
| So their economy is not sustainable. | ||
| And they force people to stay in the labor force and to do very minimum wage work. | ||
| But even that cannot support all the populations, all the young peoples in the country. | ||
| Forrest, where do people go to get the new federal state's TV show, podcast, all your content? | ||
| Where do they go, sir? | ||
| Yeah, they can go to gather NFSC TV and NFSC Speaks. | ||
| And also we have a counter NFSC TV and the Speaks on X. - Also, you put out the daily news. | ||
| I know it's up on Getter. | ||
| It is spectacular. | ||
| The level of detail and analysis. | ||
| How do people get that daily news feed? | ||
| There's always a half a dozen to a dozen. | ||
| I look at every newspaper in the world. | ||

| You get it up on Getter. | ||
| How do people get to it? | ||

| People just have to download the Gather. | ||
| You can find daily news on the Gather app. | ||
| You can find all those great news, all the truths from China and all the news in the area. | ||

| Absolutely amazing. | ||
| Forrest, thank you so much. | ||
| Appreciate you coming on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You made me feel better. | ||
| The wolf warrior. | ||
| President Trump, geo-strategically, it is nothing short of breathtaking. | ||
| This is the equivalent of the end of World War II. And remember, the end of World War II, from the time the shooting stopped, really in what, May through August of 1945, and then how destroyed Europe was, how destroyed mainland China was, how destroyed Japan was, and the Pacific Islands, just absent Southeast Asia. | ||
| The toll of that war was absolutely horrific. | ||
| And then it took years, including... | ||
| World War II really kind of kept going until the fall of China. | ||
| Really, Chiang Kai-shek's surrender or move off of mainland China to then Formosa and Mao Zedong taking over about 1949, the same with the consolidation of Stalin. | ||
| From that time in this, you know, Kennan's long memo, the ex-memo and the containment and really the same system we have today, the post-war international rules-based order that eventually worked for a while, but then it didn't work. | ||
| President Trump, whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's in the Middle East, he just put out another kind of ultimatum to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, to what's happening with China from the Panama Canal to Greenland. | ||
| Maybe I take a half hour or so tomorrow and walk through it. | ||
| It is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. | ||
| Nothing short of that. | ||
| Birch gold. | ||
| This is why times are going to be turbulent, folks. | ||
| Just are. | ||
| President Trump is trying to... | ||
| Redo the business model of the United States, particularly about this concept of tariffs and outside revenue coming in. | ||
| As Elon Musk goes up to Capitol Hill tonight to talk about taking down the administrative state and the cuts are there, you have to look at another revenue source. | ||
