| It left town until Tuesday, and the House will not be in session all next week. | ||
| In the meantime, the White House is following through with the President's threat to permanently fire some federal workers. | ||
| Earlier today, OMB director Russell Vogue, who has become one of the most powerful people in this administration, announced that the layoffs have begun. | ||
| They're also appealing a judge's ruling that temporarily blocked Trump from sending the National Guard to the city of Chicago. | ||
| Meanwhile, another one of the president's perceived enemies could soon face charges. | ||
| MSNBC reports that the acting U.S. attorney in Maryland is moving to seek charges against former National Security Advisor, Trump's former National Security Advisor, John Bolton. | ||
| A complaint or an indictment could come as early as next week. | ||
| The Justice Department has already charged New York Attorney General Tish James and former FBI director Jim Comey after public pressure from Trump himself. | ||
| The big question now on everyone's mind, who could be next. | ||
| The Dow plunged nearly 900 points on a Friday. | ||
| The NASDAQ lost 3.5% in its total value, and the SP had its worst day since mid-April. | ||
| Mid April. | ||
| That was back when Trump threatened a 145% tariff on China. | ||
| Well, today's sell-off immediately followed a Trump post on social media this morning, threatening a new round of tariffs on China. | ||
| He accused China of, quote, becoming very hostile with restrictions on rare earth minerals, which are a key resource for tech and defense industries. | ||
| Almost an hour after markets closed, the president announced that the United States would impose an extra 100% tariff on China and add export controls on critical software. | ||
| He wanted it, you know. | ||
| It's been a long time. | ||
| He's been fighting a long time. | ||
| He's been fighting hard. | ||
| He wanted it. | ||
| It's a great deal for Israel, but it's a great deal for everybody, for Arabs, for Muslims, for everybody for the world. | ||
| And as you know, on Monday the hostages come back, they're getting them now. | ||
| I mean, they're getting them now. | ||
| They're in some uh pretty rough places. | ||
| Under earth, they're in some pretty rough places where only a few people know where they are, some cases. | ||
| So uh they're getting them, and they're also getting the bodies uh approximately 28 bodies. | ||
| And uh some of those bodies are uh being unearthed right now as we speak. | ||
| I mean they're working on it right now as we speak. | ||
| It's uh it's a tragedy. | ||
| It's a tragedy. | ||
| No, he was very happy with it, and I can tell you that I saw Israel dancing in the streets, but they were dancing in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and UAE and many, many countries. | ||
| Uh I saw Egypt, they were dancing. | ||
| I'll be going to Israel, I'll be speaking at the Knesset. | ||
| Uh I think early on, and then I'm also going to Egypt. | ||
| They were terrific. | ||
| But all of the countries are great. | ||
| Indonesia was great. | ||
| Everybody, everybody wants this deal to happen. | ||
| I think what's interesting about the shutdown, and as we get more used to these shutdowns, is that there's somewhat of a celebration on the right. | ||
| Like they're kind of all for the shutdown. | ||
| I mean, if you look at the tweet posted today about the um impending uh slashing of the government, there are celebration memes posted in response to that by right-wing influencers. | ||
| They want to see the government shut down. | ||
| They want to see people fired from their jobs. | ||
| Okay, but but those are right wing influencers. | ||
| You know what they've never had to do? | ||
| Run for office. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And this goes back to what Mark was saying a moment ago that Mark uh that Marjorie Taylor Green is the canary in the coal mine. | ||
| She knows whether it's Craven's self-interest or not, she needs to run again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Laura Loomer hasn't run on a treadmill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She doesn't know. | |
| She I don't even mean it. | ||
| I guess that was sassy, but I mean, she has no idea. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| None of these people have any idea what it means to represent the American people who are simply looking for health air, for a good education, for a good job. | ||
| So when you say the far right's happy, is it far right lawmakers, or is it the far-right media sphere? | ||
| I think it's both. | ||
| I mean, I think that kind of fused together. | ||
| I think there are a lot of people that are feeding into this. | ||
| And I also think, too, Stephanie, you saw, I think, particularly during COVID, where people were being completely misinformed about vaccines and still getting the virus and saying they wouldn't have got the vaccines because um, you know, for whatever reason, what of a conspiracy theory they had been fed. | ||
| I'm I even though it's in against their self-interest, I'm not convinced that a lot of people are not still celebrating this. | ||
| I mean, I think it's I think if you look at Bright Part II and you look at the Gateway Pundit and all these far right websites or Benny Johnson's podcast, I think that there's a totally different inspiring piece of the case. | ||
| Well, they're given when you think about with breaking news from Donald Trump's relentless retribution campaign, MSNBC reports that criminal charges against former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton could come as soon as next week. | ||
| Sources tell MSNBC, a grand jury in Maryland has been hearing evidence for several weeks now. | ||
| But the pace of the case has recently sped up. | ||
| Back in August, FBI agents searched Bolton's house and DC office as part of a classified records investigation. | ||
| Look at the pattern here, folks. | ||
| Look at what we've seen from Trump's Justice Department just this week. | ||
| Trump critic James Comey was arraigned. | ||
| Trump critic Letitia James was indicted. | ||
| And now Trump critic John Bolton could be facing similar punishment. | ||
| Bolton even warned once that Trump's return to power would be a quote retribution presidency. | ||
| Also breaking tonight in Lower Manhattan, New Yorkers protested the charges against A. G. James as MSNBC's Jonathan Lemere warns in the Atlantic. | ||
| Quote, Trump's threats that are no longer bluster. | ||
| The guardrails of his first term are gone. | ||
| He is instead surrounded by enablers. | ||
| The federal government is taking legal action against those whom Trump wants punished. | ||
| retribution is here but i've been calling what's going on a self-coup an attempt to destroy the other branches of government to destroy the congress to destroy the judiciary and each of these prosecutions that we're talking about has an element of destroying democracy so think about the significance the symbol of going after a state attorney What it's about is destroying the independence of the law. | ||
| What Attorney General James did was enforce the law. | ||
| Trump is trying to destroy the law. | ||
| How do you do that? | ||
| You go after a law enforcement official. | ||
| Take Comey. | ||
| After Nixon, there was a independence of the FBI that was established, norms were established, policies were changed. | ||
| Trump wants to destroy all that. | ||
| Part of the way that you do it is you go after a symbol of the independent FBI, and Comey certainly was that. | ||
| And even if you think of the Bolton uh accusations and that prosecution, it's about destroying the independence of the intelligence and and and foreign policy apparatus of the United States. | ||
| This is nothing less than a self-coup, and it isn't something that's just being attempted. | ||
| It is in progress. | ||
| And the alarm bells should be going on. | ||
| Yeah, well, time is of the essence. | ||
| We're firmly into the second day of that 72-hour deadline that ends on midday uh Israel time or 5 a.m. | ||
| Eastern. | ||
| And here's where we stand right now. | ||
| According to sources which we spoke to, they tell CNN that it'll likely happen overnight Sunday into Monday. | ||
| That's for the 48 hostages to be released, 20 of whom we believe are alive, and the other 28 deceased. | ||
| Now locating the deceased and the remains of the deceased is a logistical challenge. | ||
| We know that the international community uh of the the Red Cross uh is going to be assisting and facilitating locating the remains, but also echoed by Benjamin Netzanyahu saying that they probably not going to be able to locate all the deceased uh within that 72-hour window. | ||
| It is not a deal breaker, however. | ||
| But the 20-point plan, phase one, is firmly gaining momentum, and it seems that both sides have now agreed to this framework and are willing to see it through, Victor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
At the end of the day, this is not a shutdown. | |
| It's an engineered hostage crisis. | ||
| They had the leaked memo saying that federal workers are not necessarily entitled to back pay when this is done. | ||
| They're already trying to find a way, because they have to give tax breaks to billionaires who who don't need them to find ways to not pay the federal workers who are still showing up every day when this whole thing is over. | ||
| Why working people still fall for this party that worships golden toilets but hates the people that clean them? | ||
| At what point do they feel like those have fully kicked in to the economy? | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| We are still very early in the game. | ||
| That big, big companies are either eating the costs, or if they're big importers, they were able to buy tons of supplies, buy products in the beginning of the year. | ||
| But but as this year is going on, so many small and medium-sized companies are struggling. | ||
| We're seeing bankruptcies go up, and you're going to see prices start to go up and up as we head into the year. | ||
| And when the likes of Scott Betson says, well, the companies can choose to eat the cost, even if they're eating the cost, you know what they're not doing? | ||
| Giving raises, they're not expanding, they're not hiring anyone, which has our economy in this precarious place. | ||
| But it's funny because today Trump accused China of holding the globe captive with these resources that they have. | ||
| But is that not the same thing Trump is doing, holding the world captive with his tariffs? | ||
| It is not me to decide, who to apply the Nobel Prize. | ||
| First of all, I think, and hardly anyone from you, from your viewers and listeners will be angry. | ||
| I hardly know. | ||
| I will tell you what I mean. | ||
| There were cases, when the committee would apply the Nobel Prize to the world to people who did nothing for the world. | ||
| And, on my opinion, these decisions have been an impact on this award. | ||
| If a person came, good or bad, he immediately came to a month, a boom, what? | ||
| He actually did nothing. | ||
| He worked for some of his accomplishments. | ||
| And so, I think, the authority, I think, is in a certain degree, is in a certain degree, Well, God, it's not me to judge, but, if not, if not, if not, if not the President of the United States of the United States of the United States, I don't know. | ||
| But he really does a lot to do, to allow these difficult, decades, years, and decades, decades, decades, decades. | ||
| And It's Saturday Saturday, 11 October, year of our 2025. | ||
| Um we curated the cold open could have been 30 minutes of straight news on other on other topics just as major. | ||
| I mean, the news cycle, you know, we say that apocryphal saying there are decades in which nothing happens, and the weeks in which decades happen. | ||
| with president Trump's second term, it's week after week after week and kind of builds a crescendo. | ||
| Remember the president has openly said now that he is planning on heading to Israel to greet the hostages. | ||
| Uh, there's also talk. | ||
| He's going to go to Egypt and maybe assign some sort of pact on the, uh, end of the, uh, of the Hamas war. | ||
| Um, And then Charlie Kirk gets the Medal of Freedom on his birthday on Tuesday, and President Trump is committed to be there. | ||
| So you do the math. | ||
| At the um at the White House. | ||
| With all that's happening, putting down a uh a revolt in the streets by violent and narcissistic and dangerous left that is trying to make sure that we cannot unwind the invasion of our country by the deep state and the Biden and the radical democrats. | ||
| Why? | ||
| So they get illegal aliens in here because they can't win, they cannot win elections without them. | ||
| That's where everything they do revolves around illegal aliens, whether it's shutting down the governments, gun decking the census, fighting us on redistricting, um, having Antifa in Portland and the mayor and these uh absolutely crazed progressives who they're starting to arrest in Chicago. | ||
| The reason that we have troops in Memphis, troops in Chicago, troops in Portland, Oregon. | ||
| With everything's going on in this amazing peace deal that uh President Trump is uh is working on to pull off in the next 48 to 72 hours, looks like everything's in place. | ||
| As Captain Funnel has often told us, you gotta keep your eye on the main thing. | ||
| And what is the main thing? | ||
| As we have argued here for years and years and years, and I'm proud to be the leader of the anti-CCP movement in the United States, and remember, as leader of the anti-CCP movement, we have advocated from the beginning, decoupling. | ||
| You cannot trust these people, it's the most evil dictatorship in the modern world, and I'm including the Nazis, the Soviets, uh Imperial Japan, the fascists, all of it. | ||
| Throw in Pol Pot, throw in North Korea. | ||
| This is a group that's killed hundreds of millions, pr bragged about it, killed hundreds of millions of Lao Baijing of its own people. | ||
| Well, folks, uh, in the last 24-48 hours, the President of the United States has put us on notice. | ||
| We're at full-out economic war with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Full-on economic war. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because in trying to work with them and trying to accommodate them, uh, they double crossed the President of the United States, the United States of America in the industrial West. | ||
| And as you can tell with Netanyahu when he sent a missile into Qatar to kill the Hamas, negotiating team to make sure there would never be peace. | ||
| You gotta go pretty far in the woods to really hit President Trump's tripwire. | ||
| I can tell you that. | ||
| There's some bluster at the beginning in negotiating tactics and talk, hot talk. | ||
| But you gotta go pretty far to hit his tripwire. | ||
| But when you hit his tripwire, ask BB Netanyahu how that turned out for him. | ||
| Well, we've got two experts. | ||
| Uh Brian Costello, our venture capitalist and economic warfare expert, and Captain Fanel, who knows the CCP better than anybody's dedicated life to understanding the strategic direction of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They're coming up next. | ||
| It's uh warfare unrestricted warfare Saturday in the war room. | ||

| You know, the Daily Telegraph is doing a big story in this Mid East Peace Deal, Rob Krilly and the team over there. | ||
| I've got a quote in this that Trump has united the Arabs probably better than T. E. Lawrence. | ||
| I gave this National Conservative Conference speech, I don't know, it's about a month ago now, five weeks ago. | ||
| And I shocked the audience because it's a big neocon audience, although it tries to purport itself to be populist nationalists, super neocon. | ||
| Um good folks, but neocons. | ||
| And I said that scene in Lawrence of Arabia, the movie you've seen it, or in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom where it's written his uh memoir of the Arab Revolt. | ||
| He goes into British intelligence, they're trying to transfer him to the Arab Bureau. | ||
| And the general in charge just goes, he says, I don't know why we're doing all this. | ||
| I don't know why we're succunding you to the Arabs. | ||
| He said, the Middle East is a side show to the main thing, which is the Western Front. | ||
| And he said the Arab Revolt is a sideshow to a side show. | ||
| And what I said is that the Middle East today is a sideshow to the main thing. | ||
| Although it does prop it up, it's got economic relationships to have to be taken care of. | ||
| But it's a sideshow. | ||
| In the Israel-Gaza war is a sideshow to a sideshow. | ||
| Not that it's not important, not that it's not bloody, not that we have to we have to kind of figure it out, but we're being sucked in every day, particularly the mind share of the country, the media, and particularly the White House, the President of the United States, national security apparatus, and it's just not that big a deal. | ||
| And people were shocked. | ||
| Well, President Trump is uh is long way in the last I don't know week, ever since Netanyahu showed he was uncontrollable and trying to drag us into a deeper war by going after Qatar. | ||
| And hey, don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest advocate that cutters of the Muslim Brotherhood, and there's a lot of guys in Qatar that deserve to go to the just reward. | ||
| Okay, it's the rail hit of the Muslim Brotherhood, full stop. | ||
| And I'll talk about this proposed base, uh, which we're not gonna allow Pete Hex and these guys to do it. | ||
| No, we're not gonna go to the Christian redoubt of Idaho and put a Qatari uh base, and now they're walking back. | ||
| Oh, it's just a facility. | ||
| Don't they don't need a facility. | ||
| You train what they need, let them do the air rework over there. | ||
| We got a huge Air Force base, do it there. | ||
| If not, they got a Ton of air rework facilities here to take care of those jets with the 15 echoes or whatever that were selling them and they can train the pilots. | ||
| We have plenty of places to train the pilots. | ||
| Hell, we trained the Persians, uh, we've trained the Saudis, uh, we've trained the UAE, we trained the Israelis. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Don't need a base, and you certainly don't need a base in the heart of the Christian redoubt, right? | ||
| Up in Idaho. | ||
| That is outrageous. | ||
| And there's something going on here with the administration. | ||
| Love the fact that cutters, you know, trying to play nice, all good, you're gonna take it, get this deal. | ||
| They're gonna be in Israel with a major foothold and writing big checks. | ||
| Okay, I got it. | ||
| I got it, and this thing came to a head because Netanyahu tried to drag them in to take them out. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| But we got an Article 5 guarantee on their defense, and we've got uh now a air rework facility or pilot trading in Idaho. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| Um Captain Fennell, the main thing, people should understand, and if you watch this show, you know the seriousness that we take this. | ||
| I was the only civilian in the history of the country fully sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party at one minute after high noon on the 21st, uh, on the 20th of January of uh 20 uh 21, when Biden took office, it was uh Pompeo, myself, Peter Navarro, right? | ||
| Um immediately. | ||
| And um that's fine. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| But Fanel, you've told you over and over again, you hammer every day, you must keep the main thing the main thing, you must keep the main thing the main thing. | ||
| And of all the epic massive events that took place this week, this by a factor of 10 is the most important. | ||
| Because this is what happens when the globalists and the financiers of Wall Street and the big tech guys and Elon Musk and the and the little CCP agent of influence in Navidia and all these guys making all this money on Wall Street have led us down the primrose path to not decouple from these savages, these barbarians, and now we're in it. | ||
| Now we're in it, and they double cross Trump. | ||
| So, Captain Fennell, give me the overall strategic, and I'm gonna get Brian Castell's talk about the economic. | ||
| But do you agree that what's happened in the last 24 to 48 hours is a pretty serious shift in attitude, sir? | ||
| Uh Steve, uh, first thanks for having me on. | ||
| Yeah, there's no question, you said it earlier, we are in an economic war right now with the People's Republic of China, and uh the the tit for tat actions that have been going on over the last 48 hours, or you could even say since uh the the end of September are all an indicator that Xi and the Chinese Communist Party have decided, they've done their calculations, what they call their comprehensive national defense uh planning and their scientific development. | ||
| They have gone through the numbers and they think that they can throw down with the United States and the economic arena. | ||
| And so they've made these moves to uh tell Australia you have to buy our ore, we'll buy your ore, but we're only gonna pay you in our currency, RMB, uh, the Yum. | ||
| Uh, we're only gonna, you know, we're gonna ban these uh rare earths to uh to the United States and all of this, which you'll we'll get into later. | ||
| But they're taking these very pointed and direct uh uh actions against the United States economy to break us. | ||
| And G is calculated that he can achieve a victory on this. | ||
| And I think it's really important because you talked about Wall Street and the people that have caught caused us to engage and to invest in the Chinese market and the Chinese economy over these last many years. | ||
| Uh, but it's also the people that are in our foreign policy and national security establishment in Washington, the people that preached engagement for the last 30 years that told us we must engage with China. | ||
| And then they said, don't worry about it, there's no threat, the threat's not real. | ||
| They're never gonna be close to us economically or militarily. | ||
| We don't have to worry, we just keep engaging with them and they'll become more like us. | ||
| And now we're in this position where they've got a knife to our throat, both economically and increasingly militarily, and uh we're in a tough position right now, and fortunately, President Trump is now responding appropriately to say, | ||
| hey, I still have tools, I have economic escalation Dominance in certain areas, semiconductors and in financial services, that I can push back and not take this from G. And so unlike what happened in 2012 with Barack Obama in the South China Sea, when China seized Scarborough Shoal, and then he built those islands, and we did nothing, and we you know, we kind of cowered and looked the other way, and the Chinese Communist Party recognized there's nothing there. | ||
| What's the old saying from Lenin? | ||
| You know, you put a put a bayonet in, and if you don't feel anything, you keep pushing. | ||
| Well, that's what happened in 2012. | ||
| They put the bayonet in in the South China Sea, and there was no resistance from the United States of America. | ||
| Well, now our president is resistant. | ||
| I want to go, yeah. | ||
| But I want to go to something. | ||
| I want to go to their strategic doctrine. | ||
| We get Costello in here in a second. | ||
| One of the things they have a tell. | ||
| And that tell, if you go back and look at the war with India, if you look at the certain military engagements, you even look at economic, they have a they have one thing that they're always searching for. | ||
| When they think an adversary is totally engaged in something else, and they're in their mind is off the ball, like in the Cuban Missile Crisis. | ||
| When they think their opponent is maniacally focused and completely caught up in another either geopolitical or economic event, and they can't have the mind share, that's when they strike. | ||
| This is uh the policy, and particularly the rare earths. | ||
| Remember, we're talking about the magnets and the heavy rare earths, and people should understand the playing footsee with Lula is the reverse side of the coin here. | ||
| Because Brazil's got the heavy rare earths. | ||
| Of course, he's a Marxist and totally in business with the Chinese Communist Party and a horrible guy. | ||
| But everybody that was shocked last week about, oh, we don't we're not throwing Bolsonaro over the side, but there's a serious problem here. | ||
| I mean, American industry can grind to a halt in maybe three or four or five weeks because for years the the our betters on Wall Street and our bells in Silicon Valley said we didn't need this type of heavy industrial uh, you know, parts of the production process. | ||
| The environmentalists, the climate change, oh, it's too dirty, you can't process it here. | ||
| There's a company in Ohio that the CCP bought, I think back in 2012, 2013, bought and took took the thing and took it all down and took it to China, which is one of the big processing entities. | ||
| She makes these moves when he thinks he's got the high ground, he's got a distracted enemy. | ||
| Is that part of their doctrine, sir? | ||
| There's no question that's part of their doctrine. | ||
| We've seen them do that, as you mentioned, and in India in the war in 60 and with Vietnam. | ||
| They they've done it in the South China Sea in 2012 time frame, 2015 time frame. | ||
| Um we see them do this, but it's also part of they're on their what they call their great uh their strategy of called the great rejuvenation of China. | ||
| So they're on a timeline. | ||
| I've talked for the last two decades about this decade of 2020 to 2030 is the key decade, the decade of concern, where they're going to make a decision on what to do to achieve their national reunification. | ||
| And that means moving in to not just take Taiwan and other places geographically, but also to dominate the world in the economic arena. | ||
| And they've decided right now that hey, America's distracted, they've got all these other things that you opened the show with, and therefore they can't possibly deal with us in this economic uh trade war right now. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And uh that's really, really important for President Trump to demonstrate to them that they're able to do it. | |
| And Trump came out, we'll put the tweet up. | ||
| This is also like we love we love us some bridge colby. | ||
| We kind of love what Pete and British Colby are doing over there. | ||
| However, this is our complaint about the new defense strategy, where they kind of walk back what we had done in the first term is is we're in a great power struggle with the Chinese Communist Party, not the Russians, the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| My understanding, this bridge and team are trying to dial that back that they only want to be dominant in East Asia and maybe the Western Pacific, that is just not the case. | ||
| That is not the case. | ||
| This is a global, this is the long twilight struggle that President Kennedy warned about. | ||
| The bastion of Marxism in the world, the bastion of evil, the railhead of evil in the world, and trust me, they're all over the streets of America and in the universities. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| The phrase, and I didn't hear about this phrase until just a few years ago. | ||
| China hawks. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And And apparently that if you're a China hawk, you get to wear that label with pride. | ||
| It's almost like a badge of honor. | ||
| It's a badge of shame. | ||
| There's no question it's a badge of shame. | ||
| There's no question that although they want what's in the best interest of our country, and we all want what's in the best interest of our country. | ||
| Um, destroying that pipeline of the American dream is not patriotic. | ||
| They they think they think they're doing the right thing for our country, but it's not patriotic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not even a little bit. | |
| I think it's the wealthiest or second wealthiest guy in the world. | ||
| Having dinner with Trump all the time, blazing President Trump. | ||
| Uh that guy's an agent of influence at minimum of the Chinese Cameron's party. | ||
| He talks about our country. | ||
| He's talking about China. | ||
| He's talking about China. | ||
| That was a week ago. | ||
| And Hawks, and we're talking about hawks, you're talking about you. | ||
| He's not talking just about Jim Finell and Steve Bannon and Brian Costell and other guys have been warned about this and working on this and fighting this every day. | ||
| He's talking about you. | ||
| That you, you know, you're you're bad. | ||
| That's a badge of shame because you're stopping the American dream because you're trying to thwart the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| Think how twisted that is. | ||
| That's uh that's a psyop right there on a guy that we give every break in the world to, okay, which has to stop. | ||
| He should be investigated immediately today, because I'm a read from a guy, this ain't from Jim Finell, and this ain't from Brian Costello, and this ain't from Peter Navarro or Frank Gaffney or Brian Kennedy of all of us whack jobs of the Committee on the Present Danger China where we set up years ago for just this moment. | ||
| This is from a guy called the commander in chief of the United States of America, a guy that's gone out of his way for world peace to try to work something out with China. | ||
| It's not Trump's played smash mouth with them. | ||
| He's tried to work, he's tried to work with them. | ||
| And this is a group he negotiated for two years. | ||
| Navarro in Lightheim negotiated for two years into May of 2019. | ||
| We had an entire deal which take care of the seven original sins of the Chinese Communist Party and integrate them fully into the world economy. | ||
| And after meeting with Putin, having their first uh one belt one road, big confab. | ||
| Uh they turned around, tore it up and spit in our face. | ||
| And oh, by the way, declared a people's war in May of 2019. | ||
| They've been at when people said, Well, why are we going to economic war? | ||
| They've been at war with us, they have been at war with us for decades and decades and decades. | ||
| War, unrestricted war, which is modern warfare. | ||
| Because what'd they say coming out of the Gulf War, they wrote the book, they said, hey, foreign devils have amazing equipment and foreign devils know how to fight on a kinetic battlefield. | ||
| So we must beat foreign devils something else. | ||
| Economic warfare, psychological warfare, political warfare. | ||
| And the people that warned against it and said, here's what they're doing, and are proud to wear the label China Hawks, wealthiest guy in the world. | ||
| I just heard this phrase, you know, that it's not a badge of honor, it's a badge of saying, screw you, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You should be in a f prison. | |
| Pardon the F-bomb on a Saturday morning for the kids. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| This guy's in the White House, he's dying. | ||
| All those tech bros, all of them to a person have sold you out, sold this country out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sold it out full stop. | |
| And President Trump, and I quote, it has been uh it has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinary aggressive position on trade and spent in sending an extremely hostile letter to the world stating that they were going to effective one November 2025, oppose large-scale export controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| Brian Costello. | ||
| Uh, as we've been talking about Birch Gold for four years, why? | ||
| Because we've been talking about the dollars of prime reserve currency and what was happening, and part of what just happened is they're telling uh you know India and other trading parties in Australia, we're only we're not doing you can't convert into dollars, we're not doing this in dollars, we're gonna do it in ours, and you're gonna have to take the currency risk because they're in a massive effort for de-dollarization, try to destroy the U.S. dollar. | ||
| You've been on this show, I don't know, for four years, warning about this day coming. | ||
| Explain to us your warning and explain to us what's happened and become evident to the president of the United States and the Secretary of Treasury in the last 48 hours, sir. | ||
| You know, Steve, it's it's funny. | ||
| Most of the people that wear that uh China Hawk badge, they they believe a couple things differently. | ||
| They don't believe uh, you know, being an American patriot runs through Beijing. | ||
| Uh, that you have to support that. | ||
| And I most of the people I know that wear that China Hawk badge have actually served the country. | ||
| They've seen what war does, they've had friends who've died and and been injured, and they're actually anti-war. | ||
| They're they're very peace. | ||
| So the the reason uh for being China Hawks is they see the obvious, right? | ||
| They're China realists, they see uh the military being built up, and now you know she might have done us a favor uh this week by reneging on what sounds like some of his agreements with Shi to just uh uh with with President Trump to just have a meeting, dial things back and look at the relationships. | ||
| You know, I remind people that when she took office back in 2013, one of the first things he did was in 2015 was a program called Maiden China 2025. | ||
| And basically all the things he's doing now were to end, you know, end their dependencies on people in the world and build everything domestically so that they can control supply chains. | ||
| Guess what year we're in, Steve? | ||
| 2025. | ||
| Yeah, so it should be obvious. | ||
| Light's well, let me just yeah, they want it, and by the way, in 2019, they came up with made in 20 China 2025 in 15. | ||
| It is a 10-year plan. | ||
| Um, as I've said on the show before, this is how strategically they think. | ||
| I'm gonna give you the top five. | ||
| Uh, artificial intelligence and artificial. | ||
| This is industries that they will dominate by 2025, okay? | ||
| And they're gonna decouple from the West. | ||
| They made this decision in 2019 when they tore up the trade deal that they're gonna start to decouple technology. | ||
| They have to have their own champions, they have to have their own, you know, they have to have TikTok. | ||
| Uh, they have to have the best chips, they have to have uh was it uh the the top uh artificial intelligence company, deep was a deep mind. | ||
| Um, but let me go to the top five. | ||
| The top five, and they they came up with this over a decade ago, folks. | ||
| Just some random, just some random industries. | ||
| I'm gonna start at the top. | ||
| Artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence, robotics and regenerative robotics, uh quantum computing, uh, advanced chip design, and just to top it off, biotechnology, CRISPR, all of that. | ||
| That's the top five. | ||
| The convergence of those five, their top five, get you to the singularity. | ||
| They understand totally what they're doing. | ||
| This is when Xi and Putin are having the thing at the Shanghai, and they're walking down and they're having a sidebar and chatting. | ||
| They're talking about living to 125 years old. | ||
| They're so focused on this, and they're doing stuff inside of Russia and inside of uh China. | ||
| You have no earthy idea what they're doing in their labs. | ||
| But what they've brazenly done now is challenge President Trump on this. | ||
| They're trying to tell people in the world you're gonna decouple from the United States of America. | ||
| We're gonna run a reverse. | ||
| Trump thinks he's such a big shot. | ||
| Peter Navarro thinks he's such a big shot. | ||
| Bannon and these guys are at war around these China Hawks, they're they're running their mouths. | ||
| We're gonna, and we're gonna use we're gonna use rare earth. | ||
| They're gonna use the magnets, they're gonna use the most critical part of the rare earth, which President Trump and Besson had an agreement with, and they said, you know, upon further review, yeah. | ||
| We gotta think that I don't think it's gonna work. | ||
| This is where they're trying to grab total control. | ||
| They're trying to use a lever what we call leverageable moment, a leverageable moment why the United States is distracted in Ukraine and Gaza and the streets of uh the streets of North America, and trust me, they are in back of to a large extent what's happening in the streets of America. | ||
| On the economic side, and in having being as bold as there and Trump hit them with a hundred percent tariff, right? | ||
| So it's gonna be this is gonna be hardball. | ||
| 100% tariff on their situation. | ||
| We know they were hurting, but I think she is saying, hey, I can take the pain. | ||
| Fanel, what did they say? | ||
| They'll eat they'll eat grass for a year, you know, that they don't care about Lao Ba Jing. | ||
| Lao Beijing's got a tough life. | ||
| Hey, this is the way it is, man. | ||
| They killed hundreds of millions of Lao Beijing before. | ||
| They got no problem. | ||
| Mao used to brag. | ||
| He says, Hey, I don't know what the West is talking about. | ||
| This is the you know, nuclear threat and and and the terror of nuclear weapons. | ||
| He said, hey, if we get hit with a couple of nuclear weapons, we'll lose a couple hundred million people. | ||
| Big deal. | ||
| We'll we'll recreate that in a decade. | ||
| That's no big deal. | ||
| They could care less. | ||
| If their people get to have some hardship, the total control, and particularly with the surveillance state they have now. | ||
| So Brian, walk us through how this has evolved over time and what your warnings been. | ||
| You know, Steve, it's worse than that, right? | ||
| They're stockpiling food. | ||
| Uh, you know, they're ending the dependency, you know, they're not buying soybeans, everything from the U.S. So what you you basically all you have to, you know, all you have to do is read what they're doing in China, right? | ||
| So there's something that's really bad happening here too, Steve, that you know they're preparing for something much grander, right? | ||
| So, you know, just in the last couple weeks, we've had this new Ministry of Foreign Commerce where they've now putting ceasing control over you know, deciding who gets these rare earths, right? | ||
| So it's not just the U.S., it's Japan, Taiwan, you know, they have their guy on South Korea now, where a lot of the stuff we make is manufactured, and it requires refinement of these critical mineral and rare earths and the uh the chemical processes to do that. | ||
| They're putting complete control on that. | ||
| But they're now, you know, going after our companies. | ||
| They just launched an investigation into Qualcomm the other day. | ||
| They launched an investigation into NVIDIA before. | ||
| They're actually now searching ships for the NVIDIA gear is out out in the media, so they're they've told other people don't buy anything from NVIDIA. | ||
| They're actually searching ships. | ||
| So you see why Johnson's focused on this, right? | ||
| He's not able to sell, you know, through other countries and put equipment into there anymore. | ||
| But a lot of his equipment and these data centers being built require the refinement process of these critical minerals and rare earths and the magnets and the things that actually uh go into Transformers for power. | ||
| So you've seen all this stuff happen. | ||
| You're also seeing propaganda left and right, right? | ||
| As we bomb boats coming from Venezuela carrying drugs, they're reporting to their people that they're doing this for oil. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you just see the game when you've watched what they've done for a long time. | ||
| You know, it's like when the TikTok agreement came out. | ||
| It's a signed agreement, isn't even an agreement with the Chinese Communist Party, like until it's actually done. | ||
| You know, there's no rest legal reciprocity. | ||
| So, you know, I'm not surprised by this at all. | ||
| Uh not surprised by there's there's no if you if if if you sign a contract, you gotta understand something with the Chinese. | ||
| If you sign a contract, they have a phrase called circumstances changed. | ||
| The contract's just a basis for free future negotiation. | ||
| This is why uh, you know, Adelson and uh and uh uh the crowd in Vegas um has a uh it has these casinos in where the cash comes from because they don't make money in Vegas. | ||
| The uh the cash comes from Macau. | ||
| The the the because the Chinese not always gamblers, you got money laundering go through this ridiculous. | ||
| If you look at the documents, these are publicly traded companies. | ||
| Look at the documents, they really have no agreement, the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They're just kind of like uh, well, they run it for a while, they manage it and they make some money, but it's very ill-defined, and we can pull it at any time. | ||
| This is what they've said right now. | ||
| President Trump was working towards a deal. | ||
| Remember, he was going to visit China. | ||
| He's talking about visiting China as a sidebar to this uh meeting. | ||
| He's going to this big economic meeting where he's gonna go to uh in fact it's later this week, I think. | ||
| It's later this week or early the following week, where he's gonna go to Japan for a couple of days. | ||
| He's talking about, he was talking about maybe going to China and that and the CCP pulled this. | ||
| She and the Chinese Communist Party High Command think that we're completely and totally occupied, right? | ||
| We're completely and totally occupied uh with the Middle East, the side show in the Middle East, with the with the war in Ukraine not being settled, uh, with problems on the streets, and they're very focused on what's happening on the streets of New York, uh streets of America in this insurrection that's going on with people that try to flood our country with illegal aliens. | ||
| They are closely watching New York City, and trust me, they're involved in the background in New York City, what's happening there with the Marxist jihadist taking over. | ||
| These guys they've infiltrated everywhere, they've infiltrated the universities, they've infiltrated Capitol Hill, they've infiltrated all the big companies, they've infiltrated the media. | ||
| They are everywhere as we have warned day in and day out, And now they're bold enough to be up in President Trump's grill and say, hey, tough guy, we're gonna bring the American economy to a grinding halt. | ||
| And President Trump hit him back with a blunt force instrument, 100% tariff. | ||
| Pretty big deal. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break, we're in return. | ||
| We got Costello and Captain Fennel. | ||
| It's about the economic war that uh Beijing just dropped on the United States of America. | ||

Next up through Hope Call. | |
| Stephen K. Captain Fennell, and people should know that behind the scenes, Captain Fennell is a huge organizer and kind of the leader of the people, the China Hawks, the one that Nvidia says uh wears a do you wear China Hawk? | ||
| I mean, you gave up your career in the Navy to warn the country about this happening, which all of your warnings turned out to be right. | ||
| Uh, what do you think about the NVIDIA guy? | ||
| Am I wrong? | ||
| See it's uh he's at minimum an agent of influence. | ||
| I think he's much deeper than that, right? | ||
| I think he's a total CCP agent. | ||
| But uh when he tells you, Captain Fennel, that China Hawk is a badge of shame. | ||
| Your thoughts. | ||
| Well, that's a classic uh uh tactic of the communist party. | ||
| They try to divide and conquer and they label people and they use the labels to marginalize people, and that's exactly what's happened over the last 35 years. | ||
| When you're labeled a China Hawk, you get painted with that indelible paint, uh, then you are marginalized and pushed out of the polite society by the elite circles in DC. | ||
| Uh so that's why he's saying that. | ||
| He's trying to marginalize people and make them uh seem foolish and uh untrustworthy. | ||
| Uh but so I don't like the labels, I don't use the labels. | ||
| The fact of the matter is the Chinese Communist Party, as you said, declared people's war against us openly in 2019, and they have been at war with us since 1949, and they want to destroy capitalism. | ||
| They are hardcore Marxist Leninist uh communists, and they despise our system of government. | ||
| They despise the way we do things, and they want to take us down, and they have a long-term strategic plan. | ||
| They would prefer not to use military force. | ||
| They're now openly using the economic uh levers of power uh to try to you know take us on right now. | ||
| They've they've rolled the dice and think that they can take us. | ||
| And we need to stand up and fight back. | ||
| I was very encouraged to see the FCC chairman Brendan Carr's announcement uh in the last 24 hours announcing Operation Clean Carts, where he's uh recommending, or not recommending, he's saying, hey, everything that's on uh these online e-commerce platforms in America that sell Chinese products from Huawei and ZTE and other things like that, have to come off. | ||
| And so what I would recommend to the American people is uh, you know, we can ask our government to do a lot of things, and President Trump is doing it, thankfully, but the American people can do something. | ||
| When you go into a store and you buy something and you pull it off the rack, I was in a store this weekend, I saw a shirt I wanted. | ||
| It was you know, something nice uh being sold as supporting, you know, the uh uh the ecology and all that. | ||
| And then I looked at it and I asked the person, well, where is this made? | ||
| They said it was a Spanish company, and then I said, Oh, that's good. | ||
| Then they said, where's it made? | ||
| Oh, it's made in China. | ||
| I gave it back to them and said, I'm not buying it. | ||
| Stop buying things from China. | ||
| We stop buying things from China, we will bring down the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So that's something that every American patriot can do that's listening right now, and tell your friends and family to do it. | ||
| I was surprised. | ||
| I have family members that buy stuff on Timu, and I had to tell them, you know what you're doing? | ||
| You're providing the money and the wherewithal for the Chinese Communist Party to destroy us, whether it's buying missiles or doing what they're doing right now in the economic arena. | ||
| So we need to be serious about this. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| President Trump went up the escalatory ladder pretty quickly, 100% tariff, everything. | ||
| My understanding is a lot more coming next week. | ||
| Uh Bessant, Navarro, the president, uh on the economic warfare side, where they're basically gonna say, you guys think you're tough guys, here's what you're gonna have to deal with. | ||
| And we have many tools if we have the if we have the guts to use them, we have many tools. | ||
| But in going up the escalatory ladder, they're just not gonna sit there. | ||
| They've thought this thing through four and five moves ahead. | ||
| So what do you anticipate the next couple of weeks are gonna look like? | ||
| Well, we got a little bit of a signal of that today on the People's Armed Police uh Twitter feed. | ||
| They showed a picture of the PLA soldiers marching with the big Chinese flag, and the recommendation was let's go kinetic. | ||
| So while we're watching the economic arena, and that's what we're talking about on today's show. | ||
| Let's not forget that China has some other desires and they could use the military lever uh to invade Taiwan. | ||
| I don't see an invasion in the next 24 hours, but the or 48 hours, but the point is they may take and use uh a military maneuver, maybe in the South China Sea against our ally in the Philippines or some other place. | ||
| So we need to be watching across the scope and breadth of uh of national power, the comprehensive national power that they call it, or we call it whole of government. | ||
| And as you said, they're planning three or four or five moves ahead, and we should be anticipating those things and and not being caught off guard. | ||
| And that means our military forces out in the Far East and back in Conis have to be up on alert to watch and be prepared for some kind of action from the Chinese. | ||
| Maybe even in the South of the Caribbean, with our operations are in and around Venezuela against the drug cartels. | ||
| So we have to be on alert. | ||
| This is like when I came into the U.S. Navy in 1986 against the Soviet Union. | ||
| We were a nation that was on guard against the predations of the of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party that was running Russia. | ||
| Now we have the Communist Party that's running China. | ||
| They have the same strategic objective to destroy us. | ||
| It sounds over the top, and and the Nvidia CEO can say we're we're China Hawks, but that is a reality. | ||
| That's their words, that's their actions, and we're seeing it come to fruition, despite what all the threat deflators and the engagers told us for the last 25-30 years. | ||
| Remember, they're egging on, they're saying let's go kinetic. | ||
| Don't put that past that. | ||
| They think just like in um the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Indian what they did in India, they thrive off a distracted enemy. | ||
| They consider us an enemy. | ||
| They don't consider us a peer rival. | ||
| All that crap you hear, and you but you watch MSMEC, you watch CNN, all these guys from the think tanks thinking great thoughts. | ||
| Just like the great thoughts they thought in the Ukraine war to drive that, just like the great thoughts they thought in Israel and the Middle East, all the great thinkers, all the great thoughts. | ||
| Oh, you know, they're gonna think great thoughts about China. | ||
| The CCP's out to destroy us, full stop. | ||
| And they don't care what they have to do, and they don't care how many Lao Bijing, they don't care how many Chinese citizens they kill in the in the interim. | ||
| And trust me, they are looking at Taiwan big time. | ||
| Captain Fennel, you don't do social media. | ||
| I know you put stuff up on American greatness as soon as you get something, we push it out. | ||
| Look forward to having you back on next week. | ||
| Thank you for taking time on your Saturday to join us. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Captain uh Captain Jim Fennell. | ||
| By the way, because the inclement weather and planning the event we're gonna cover from Marine Corps 250, not gonna be today. | ||
| We're gonna do a full coverage wall to wall next Saturday, the 18th. | ||
| I think we're gonna start at 10 o'clock in the morning uh with the war room and uh bring it all to you at Camp Pendleton, the um amazing base out on the uh on the west coast of in California, just north of San Diego. | ||
| Where the fleet is, 32nd Street. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna take a short break at Brian Costello with us going to go through a little deeper dive in the economics. | ||
|

|
Plus, gotta talk about Idaho. | |
| Gotta talk about uh a Qatar. | ||
| Really a Qatar, an air base. | ||
| They're gonna have a military base in the United States of America on the sacred soul of this nation. | ||
| This nation's soil is sacred, sacred ground. |
