donald j trump
Seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, large tanker, very large.
unidentified
Largest one ever seized, actually.
donald j trump
And other things are happening, so you'll be seeing that later, and you'll be talking about that later with some other people.
peter baker
Yeah, it's an escalation, obviously.
We've seen these attacks on the boats that are supposedly drug-drawing boats.
We've seen an increase in U.S. forces in the area.
We've seen the president talk about the possibility of using force in Venezuela.
This seizing of an oil tanker is one more step down that road.
This is a sanctioned tanker, we're told.
There are examples where the United States has seized sanctioned oil tankers in the past and other circumstances.
But in the context of this particular moment, given the chestbeating and the war drums being banged in terms of Venezuela, it raises the question of what's coming next.
jerome powell
Good afternoon.
My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on achieving our dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for the benefit of the American people.
Although important federal government data for the past couple of months have yet to be released, available public and private sector data suggests that the outlook for employment and inflation has not changed as much since our meeting in October.
Conditions in the labor market appear to be gradually cooling and inflation remains somewhat elevated.
In support of our goals, in light of the balance of risks to employment and inflation, today the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy interest rate by a quarter percentage point.
As a separate matter, we also decided to initiate purchases of shorter-term Treasury securities solely for the purpose of maintaining an ample supply of reserves over time, thus supporting effective control of our policy rate.
Conditions in the labor market appear to be gradually cooling and inflation remains somewhat elevated.
In support of our goals, in light of the balance of risks to employment and inflation, today the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy interest rate by a quarter percentage point.
christine romans
Third straight cut mean for our money.
Yeah, all the reporters here eagerly reporting that this is the third cut in a row, as expected that quarter point.
But this is essentially to juice the American economy a little bit as it is, as you said, flying blind without all of the data that we're normally used to.
So the Fed trying to give a little bit of support into the economy here as they wait for some more important information on jobs and inflation in the weeks ahead.
The Fed clearly is stepping in here trying to support the job market.
We've seen a few signs of weakness in the job market, but again, we haven't had all of the big data points that we want to see.
At the same time, though, also concerned about inflation.
Inflation is still higher than the Fed would like it to be.
steve bannon
This is the primal screen of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
Here's not got a free shot 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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
MAGA media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Wednesday, 10 December, year of the Lord, 2025.
The Fed did the 25 basis point cut.
I might want to play that again.
He's so obtuse.
Too late, Powell.
I know the president, Amiram, the governor put in by President Trump, called for a 50 basis point.
In other words, a half-point cut.
He was over, although two, which is unusual, two of the governors voted against what Powell did.
At the same time, we seized a tanker off of Venezuela.
And I believe that Rubio and Pete Hegseth have been up on Capitol Hill walking people through what's exactly happening in Venezuela.
So we have the, you know, Maduro saying, hey, I've agreed to everything except where I'm going to land, but resources continue to be, assets continue to be added, including, I think, troops actually pouring through Puerto Rico.
Looks like a huge pressure campaign.
Now they've actually seized the oil tanker.
If you remember, if you watched this show long enough, Eric Prince years ago, this was Eric Prince's strategy, just to start seizing their tankers.
You'll cut off the oil going to Cuba and the cash coming back from Cuba.
So that's one way to start to bring them to their knees.
Anyway, a lot going on in Venezuela.
Also, in addition on the economy, all I can say is precious metals on fire again today.
Silver, don't forget silver, silver now at an all-time high, $62 an ounce.
Go to Birch Gold.
They've got this special on $5,000 investment in gold, and they throw in an ounce of silver.
That's Birch Gold.
Just take the phone out and text Bannon, 989898 to get your ultimate guide.
No obligation, totally free.
And you can talk to Philip Patrick and the team, I think, now more than ever.
President Trump, not too happy.
In fact, if we can get, talk to my crack production team.
President Trump did two things.
I think he called Powell a deadhead and also the Lutnik.
If we can pull the Lutnik gold card and his comments on Powell, and let me know when those are ready and I'll call for them.
Joe Allen, he also, I think, reiterated, I'm not sure this was a roundtable on artificial intelligence.
It was said to be that.
He did reiterate.
The president did reiterate that he's going to sign an executive order because you didn't get the AI amnesty with being in the big in the NDAA after failing in the big, beautiful bill.
We'll have to see a lot of consternation.
There are other alternatives going around.
A lot of people talking to me behind the scenes.
This is a big issue.
Also today, we had from the Council of Foreign Relations discussion on the technical side of the chips.
Trump's shift on NVIDIA chips bolstered China's AI ambitions.
This argues that the basic argument for NVIDIA is that Chinese cash paid to American technology companies, in fact, I'll read it, that American innovation is tied to, wait for this, and make your head blow up.
On the other side was NVIDIA with this counter argument.
The first argument being this is absolutely going to imperil our national security.
These guys are nowhere close to us.
Everything's powered by these chips.
The Justice Department yesterday announced at the same time this is being announced that they're rolling up a group of smugglers, black market smugglers, that are smuggling these exact chips into China and that these chips are so classified and so close to our national security that it comes with long penalties in prison.
They announced at the same time we announced this deal.
I asked Chris Maguire today, what was the counter argument?
And here it is.
It's laid out in the Wall Street Journal.
On the other side was NVIDIA with this counter argument.
And I quote from the Wall Street Journal: quote: Chinese cash fuels American innovation.
Chinese cash fuels American innovation.
This reinforced what Maguire told us today, which is they look at China on one hand when they're arguing for accelerationists and that nobody can say anything about what they're doing and they want the weapons labs turned over to them.
They want all these financial breaks.
They don't want to have anybody, they don't care if it's about communities, data centers, energy, kids, creators, intellectual property, conservatives, you know, anything.
They don't want anybody having any intrusion whatsoever.
They totally just want to be accelerationist and with no intrusion.
They say the argument you have to go along with that, that you have to put everything else aside is very simple.
We're in an arms race.
We're in a space race.
We're in a nuclear arms race, the nuclear, the hydrogen bomb against like against the Soviet Union.
They were against the CCP.
On the exact other hand, the only thing that keeps the CCP competitive in this is, well, first off, everything we give them, the debt, the equity, the whole ecosystem of training, the education of their young engineers, 350,000, 350,000, think about that for a second, who are here in the United States.
And most importantly, the chips.
Right now, everything else, you know, they're fairly close on some things, but they can't do anything about the chips.
And Chris McGuire was saying it could be a five-year gap if you keep them from getting these chips because the Chinese just copy.
They can't really innovate at that level.
Joe Allen, all things transhumanist.
Joe, this whole, there's a couple of EOs bouncing around, right?
I think the president, he just reiterated at this, and you can tell me we got that clip of the gold card, which is one of my favorites.
Howard Luttnick announcing the $2 million gold card today.
I still don't quite understand.
When Lutnick explains something, it's never quite clear.
I think that makes a good bond salesman, right?
I'm not so sure it makes a good Secretary of Commerce.
There's a bunch of executive orders.
The president reiterated, I am going to sign an executive order because we can't have all that.
You can't be encumbered.
In something like this, they're going to have a million lawsuits right away because the states are going to say, well, hold, we've got actual laws in the books.
These are laws of what we're doing.
What you're doing is kind of executive orders, which really doesn't carry the weight of a law according in our state, except for where it intrudes into the frail government.
So it's going to be a morass of lawsuits about this.
But they're heading down the path of the executive order.
President Trump reiterated that.
There's another couple of executive orders bouncing around by people looking to present the administration with alternatives.
I'm not sure these executive orders have any traction whatsoever, other than the fact that people are drafting them and leaking them out.
Because I'm not sure when you talk about the one that's human flourishing, I'm not so sure the accelerations right now are changing the direction of our species.
So I don't think they're that worried right now.
Higher on their priority list is not human flourishing.
I just don't think that's a high priority.
If it was, you wouldn't have to go to them and say, hey, you have to protect the kids somehow, right?
You have to pay for the content creation.
You have to think about the communities before you start blowing out these data centers.
You have to think about human flourishing may have something to do.
Our forefathers in West Texas and Arizona, those aquifers with the water, human flourishing may have something to do with that to turn those deserts into paradises of which now the data centers are going to take the water.
So what have you heard, sir, about human flourishing?
joe allen
Well, Steve, these two alternative EO drafts are an attempt by Republicans at the state level to counteract or at least steer whatever ends up in an executive order on one federal rule.
Sachs and company have pushed this idea that there needs to be one federal rule, one national rule book for AI.
steve bannon
And the argument then is that states like California, Colorado, New York, but when you say Andreessa and Sachs are pushing this, they're not actually coming up with the rulebook at the federal level.
In fact, what they're saying right now, we don't want any rulebook, but we certainly can't have the states coming in with Ron DeSantis in Florida says this, Greg Abbott in Texas says something else, Newsom's got something else.
That's too overbearing.
But they have not put forward, correct me if I'm wrong, maybe you've seen it, I have not.
They have not put forward what that framing device and even a modicum of details would be on federal regulation.
If you mention that, you're a decelerationist.
And as we saw in Mount Head the Film, the decelerationists, the decelerationists are targeted for extermination, correct?
joe allen
Yeah, there is zero explicit language to tell us what this one federal rule would be.
The only thing we have, for the most part, is David Sachs assuring Mike Davis that his four C's will be left intact.
No details, no description of how that's going to happen.
Just simply sit back, relax.
We've got this.
That seems to be their message as they push forward and run cover for companies that want to replicate and replace you.
steve bannon
Mike Davis, remember Mike Davis, one of the biggest defenders of the president as the viceroy.
Mike Davis worked with a team of essentially conservatives.
You're telling me it was a Tim Estays and these others.
A couple of these other alternative EOs are all Republicans or conservatives right now.
I think Mike Davis presented, I think, to the White House when we were still having this argument about the AA amnesty to say, hey, if you're going to force that through, here's something that would handle the four Cs.
I think it was 100 pages long.
And they got a, hey, thank you very much for the effort, but not interested.
It's too much detail, right?
It's too much.
This has too much detail, and this is going to open up a can of worms.
We're not going to do it.
unidentified
Anyway, stick around, Joe Allen.
steve bannon
Birch Gold, now more than ever.
You've had a rate cut.
President Trump, I think today with Scott Besson or maybe tomorrow is Worsh, Kevin Worsh, who was one of the cover bids for a PAL as Fed chair last time.

Okay, the National News Decks over at CBS News is reporting.
This is the president at this behind closed doors.
And we do have some clips from it, but they had the media in for a moment.
President Trump announced Wednesday during a roundtable event that the United States is leading in artificial intelligence development, and it has to stay at the federal level.
We're leading artificial intelligence by a lot, President Trump said during a roundtable business leaders.
We're writing rules and regulations.
We want to keep it at the federal level so it's simple for the companies.
He said that he wants AI to be as simple as possible for companies since they are competing with some very big sources.
We want to stay number one by a lot.
Trump said.
Trump said the U.S. is also leading the world in building data centers and chip manufacturing facilities, which is a new capacity for artificial intelligence.
Early this week, President Trump announced he would sign an executive order to preempt states' laws on AI safety and copyright.
There must be only one rulebook.
If we're going to continue leading AI, we're beating all countries at this point in the race, but that won't last long if we're going to have 50 states right here.
If you come up and have one rulebook and it actually has rules in it, I think people would be very open to that.
I think the states are doing this because there is no rulebook in the four frontier labs.
And these are people, you know, Andreessen and Sachs and Elon Musk and Altman in this crowd are not ones that take guidance.
They just don't.
So I think people would agree if we had a rulebook, right?
Obviously at the federal level is much simpler, particularly if it incorporates the four Cs and more.
Number one is exactly what's going on in the labs.
And if we want to turn the national weapons labs over to them, if we want to turn the national labs, we have weapons labs and national labs.
We want to turn that all over to them.
There should be some sort of regulatory apparatus.
So if you're talking about writing rules at a federal level, I think people would support that, Joe.
Right now, there's not.
There's anarchy, and this is the way the tech bros want it because they're just going to do what they're going to do.
They're accelerationist.
The reason that it would be slow, the tech bros are lying to the president.
It has nothing to do with the rules that they would put up.
The simple, singular event in having competition by our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, is the chips.
Don't take it from Steve Bannon.
Take it from the Wall Street Journal.
Take it from the Financial Times.
Take it from the New York Times.
Take it from conservative business media.
That it's selling the chips to our greatest competitor.
The chips are the things that of all the parts of the ecosystem, and we provide the Chinese communist with everything of all the parts in the ecosystem.
And now we just agreed to sign the chips.
And it's across the board, people are saying, hey, this is a national security effort.
You heard today we go from a lead that could expand to five years or two years or three years, two and three years, and this is like a millennia.
It makes you not competitive.
President Trump goes on, and when he's saying this, and we know about the AI would restore it in its infancy, this is he's getting just one side.
He's getting the NVIDIA pitch.
He's getting the David Sachs pitch.
Remember, Sachs comes up, oh, if you do have this issue of woke, dude, don't treat the Warren posse and don't treat MAGA like the morons.
I know you're not MAGA, but don't treat them like morons.
These are very sophisticated people.
People in this audience have been following transhumanism and artificial intelligence for four years.
Why we hired Joe Allen four years ago?
Why do we do that?
He was writing over at the Federalists, the great Sean Davis's paper, his website.
And as everything at the Federalists, this was damn good.
I just thought Joe Allen needed to be putting it up every other day.
And that's what we went and got him.
And he's got the MAGA base up the learning curve.
And they're not being sold a bill of goods.
And they're not going to just sit there and go, oh, yeah, you know, yes, we don't want, well, come on, man.
And for people sitting there going, oh, these guys are really helping the Chinese Communist Party, it's the exact opposite.
Number one, stop your competitors.
We shouldn't train them.
We shouldn't educate them.
We shouldn't finance them.
We shouldn't provide logistics.
We should do nothing.
We should do nothing but trying to destroy any possibility they have to be with us.
What would the CCP do if they were in the leadership position?
Are you kidding me?
Do you think they let us up off the floor?
It wouldn't even be close.
We have to have the same toughness and tenacity and grit to sit there and say we have to do this.
Why are we doing it otherwise?
Because the arms dealer, Jensen Wong, and I quote from the Wall Street, the Murdoch Wall Street Journal, and I quote, on the other side is NVIDIA with this counter argument.
Chinese cash fuels American innovation.
Well, in this one, baby, I tell you what, we'll figure out some other way for you to get cash, but you're not going to take it from the Chinese Communist Party.
They view them as a customer.
So, Joe Allen, they keep talking about they're going to have one rule book.
Have you heard anything about in the executive order, anything that they're actually going to put a set of rules in here to incorporate the four C's, community creators, conservatives, and children?
I haven't heard anything.
That in fact, they kind of rejected Mike Davis's attempt first cut at this, which was 100 pages long.
I haven't heard of any kind of regulatory apparatus or anything that they're talking about.
What they want, and they've got it right now because every day that you don't step in there is like 10 years for them just to go on with what they're developing, of which we have no earthy idea.
And the government's going to have essentially significant guarantees in here.
And plus, you're going to have to get guidance to build the data centers, to take the water, to provide the energy.
They're going to have nuclear power plants all over it.
And hey, these nuclear power plants may be the key to the future for cheap energy, but you're going to have them anyway.
There's so many complicated things here that have to be sorted.
And Sachs and these guys, all they want to do in the dark of night, all they want to do in the dark of night is to try to slip into the must-pass NDAA AI amnesty.
So are you hearing anything when they talk about one federal rule, one federal rule that covers it all?
Have you heard anything about that?
joe allen
Not a single thing.
The closest we have is David Sachs attempting to placate Mike Davis by assuring everyone that the four C's will remain intact and attacking on his own fifth C, which is competitiveness, saying basically, whatever we do, we have to remain competitive with China.
But as you just said, as Chris McGuire said earlier today, the same people are pushing to allow for the deal with NVIDIA selling their second best chips to our greatest competitor.
So it doesn't make any sense unless you assume that the primary motive is not necessarily national security, but perhaps the business interests of people like Jensen Wong.
steve bannon
Mark Andreessen, the arms version, Jensen Wong.
How do you say that, Steve?
Well, how do you say that?
Why do you say that?
Well, because President Trump's Department of Justice, at the very moment they were announcing this deal, and thank God for having God having a sense of humor, they put out this huge press release of how they rolled up one of these CCP or operations that was wait for it, smuggling these very chips to the Chinese Communist Party so they could either copy them or use them in national security.
This is not Joe Allen, Mike Davis, and Steve Bannon saying this.
This is Department of Justice saying These are top secret chips going in to threaten the national security of the United States.
How do you square that?
I just don't know how you square that and how these guys square it.
If you want, we don't need to remain competitive.
We need to remain dominant.
The way we remain dominant is nothing.
You don't educate them.
You don't train them.
You don't bring them over here and let them get knowledge and understanding.
You don't provide them equity capital.
You don't provide them debt capital.
You don't do anything.
I mean, anything to allow them to basically nurture this space.
And the one thing that you definitely don't do, you don't sell them a chip, give them a chip, let them steal a chip.
Look the other way when they borrow a chip, nothing.
And when you do deals with the UAE, you make sure that there's no possibility, zero possibility, those chips can go to them.
You want to get a dominant, you want to crush these people, which we can do, or do you want to sell them the very weapons to an arms dealer, a double-talking arms dealer like Jensen Wong, who just a month ago told us, hey, and David Sachs, what do you got to say of this?
Jensen Wong said, it doesn't matter if China wins this race or not.
It's all going to be good.
It's going to be in the American stack.
It doesn't matter if a Chinese company wins.
It's all good.
And being a China hawk, being someone that's against the CCP, that's not a badge of honor.
He says, I just heard about this term.
He says, it's not a badge of honor.
It's a badge of shame.
Well, dude, that's a badge that Joe Allen and Mike Davis and Stephen K. Bannon, the Committee on the Present Danger of China, and tens of thousands of MAGA and Lao Beijing wear proudly.
We are China hawks, and we think the Chinese Communist Party should be destroyed root and branch.
And what you don't do is nurture them because they're the worst dictatorship in mankind's history.
And I include in that all their other competitors in the 20th century, which there were some real competitors to be named the worst, but they're the worst of the worst.
Hell, they proudly talk about the 250 million Chinese they murdered, and they're proud of that.
They've what, forced abortion, 400 million babies, 80% of them are young Chinese girls.
We're the feminists on that.
We're the progressives on that.
You have right now an underground church, underground Christian church of over 100 million people that they torment and torture all the time, not even including Falong Gong, not even include the Muslims out in Central Asia and political dissidents.
The track record, you know what the badge of shame?
The badge of shame is Jensen Wong, who is an operative and a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party.
Can't be anything else.
You cannot possibly argue their case as close as he does and want to sell them these chips unless somehow you know that being in business with them is a good thing for you and your company.
I don't care if his company's $5 trillion or $10 trillion.
The truth is going to win out here.
Short commercial break.
Joe Allen, Wade Miller from CRA, next in the war room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
steve bannon
President Trump did not get the rate cut he wanted.
He wanted 50 basis points.
He got 25.
He is interviewing Kevin Worsh, who was one of the cover bids.
I think John Taylor from Stanford, the individual that is renowned in this area for tight, for a strong dollar and tough monetary policy, who's Dave Bratt's, one of Dave Bratt's heroes, was the cover bid with Powell and also Kevin Wars.
He's being interviewed by the Secretary of Treasury and the President, and the President is now in his final interviews with, I think, a handful of people to be the next Fed chairman on Venezuela, Rubio Pete Hegset up on Capitol Hill.
I think explaining to people exactly where we stand, what's the story with killing these narco-terrorists that are coming across, and also different assets are up there.
And I think a little bit of what the plan is.
We seized a tanker today, so that's starting to ratchet up.
We're going to get back to AI in a minute and some comments from the president that we just pulled from the Oval Office.
Wade Miller.
So, Wade, CRA, and this, part of this is the fact that you guys have spent some of your professional life actually defending the country.
And people over CRA know this, the danger of this.
You guys were very adamant early on years ago about this whole Afghan situation, this whole refugee situation, what has to happen here.
You guys were on it before anybody else, looking at the analytics of what Biden and these, not just the collapse in this fiasco of the final days in Afghanistan, but what it meant to have these policies where you're taking all these people in.
You've just put out, and if Grace and Mo can put it up, another amazing study from CRA.
I know that Russ Vote and all the team of yours in the government at the highest levels now will be very proud of how you guys conduct yourself.
The quality of the reports you guys have are second to none.
Walk the audience through.
You've done an update on all of this to really present, I think, to the American people: hey, this is a danger.
And it's got to be not just looked at.
It's now time, beyond time, to have it stop and reversed.
unidentified
Wade Miller, the floor is yours.
wade miller
You know, we're looking all over the country at all these things that are starting to happen in Minneapolis and outside of Houston, Epic City, and elsewhere, and wanting to really have a conversation that people are just unwilling to have, which is to say, maybe our vetting processes are wrong, and maybe we're not conducting them right.
And if you look at all of the data and the polling, we're bringing in people to this country just because they're not members of al-Qaeda, but they still believe in large percentages.
Some of these are 90% plus of the entire population believe some of these things about child marriage, about murdering apostates, about stoning to death women if they're victims of rape.
I mean, all sorts of very culturally odd and radicalized things that do not belong in our communities.
And we wanted to just kind of re-elevate this in light of what we're starting to see.
We made these arguments in 2021 and 2022, and we were browbeaten by people on our side, the right of center, who would say that, well, these people in Afghanistan, they fought alongside of us.
Well, we don't owe them anything.
They owe us.
We went there to fight for their country to give them a chance at democracy, whether that was a good idea or not.
They owe us things.
We bled and lost lives.
We don't owe them.
And also, just because they were an interpreter doesn't mean that they're suitable for our communities.
And so we wanted to kind of re-elevate this argument and start saying that we need to really scrutinize.
There's a lot of people in this country who have very anti-American opinions and positions, and they're not citizens.
And we should start vetting them and start removing them if they're not suitable.
They're saying things about how they're going to forcibly convert our children, things like that.
Some of the things that our moms are saying, why can't we have a conversation?
And I'm not saying that there's no such thing as a nice and decent Muslim.
Those exist in our country.
But nowhere in the world do those people manifest themselves in majorities.
And there's a reason for that.
And at the center of it is radical Islam.
And as a culture, we should be able to say we shouldn't be importing those ideologies into our countries and certainly not in large numbers because over time, as we're seeing it with what's happening in Europe, it will manifest itself in ways that are intentionally starting to subvert our constitutional order.
And we want to get ahead of this before it becomes the problem that it is in Europe and start denaturalizing, start moving, taking away people's legal status for immigration fraud, whatever we need to do.
But it's okay to have this conversation.
I'm not saying we should go to Afghanistan and forcibly convert everyone there to Christianity.
They can be Muslims there.
They can be Muslims in 46 other countries where there's majority Muslim populations.
But I am saying that we shouldn't be importing large numbers of radicalized Muslims, culturally radicalized.
They may not be members of ISIS, but they're culturally extremely radical.
And it's okay to say that.
It's okay to screen for that.
steve bannon
Well, now that we're past the screening and that, when you talk about denaturalization, what then is to be done?
I mean, what the president keeps saying, and he says it in a little more earthy tones than the elevated tones we're talking about now.
I mean, President Trump gets right down to it about his belief of the status of their societies and cultures and what he wants to do.
What is CRA's recommendation to the administration of what is the program that should start kind of immediately to fulfill what the president's talking about in a conceptual level to essentially get these folks out of the country and get them back into either a Muslim-majority country of which we're paying half of these guys throughout the world, or just to send them back to Afghanistan and Somalia and other places, not just Afghanistan, but other places?
What's your recommendation?
wade miller
Yeah, low-hanging fruit, I think they're starting to move on, which is to say, who's here who's not permanent?
And who's here under conditional statuses, asylum, refugee statuses, their green cards expire, their visas expire, or can be expired soon?
Start vetting those groups and removing those populations and then start taking a look.
If someone raised their hands and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and became a citizen, and now they're out there advocating for Sharia courts and the undermining of our entire constitutional order, then those should be grounds to denaturalize.
If you're a natural-born citizen and you want to become a Muslim and say things like that, fine.
But if you were granted citizenship through a process and you took an oath and you're not satisfying that oath, then I think that that should be subject to review.
steve bannon
Look, if you look at New York City, you look at Minneapolis, look at the Democrats got a playbook.
This works for them.
These are their voters, right?
This is why Mamdani is the mayor-elect of New York City.
This is why you've got radicals running Minneapolis.
This is why you got DSA a mayor of Seattle.
This is the onslaught you're about to see in Texas.
This is why Ron DeSantis is trying to get ahead of it in Florida.
I mean, DeSantis and particularly Abbott.
Ron's a little more aggressive, but Abbott, you know, Abbott is not a guy to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and Care a terrorist organization unless he's got a bayonet to his back by the base saying, hey, we see where this is going in Texas.
So as you know, one party thrives on this.
This is their business model.
The other, and you guys know it better than ever.
Anyway, talk about Ukraine cutting the money off or these other things on national security that are America first and MAGA.
How much support do you get on Capitol Hill?
If you went up to Capitol Hill right now and said just in the House, right, and said, hey, we have to have a program to support the president to basically make sure we can denaturalize these people and get them out of here, right, before this becomes a crisis.
Right now, it's an issue and a problem.
How much support do you think you'd have?
wade miller
Right now, not a lot.
We have some people who are really pushing the envelope in good ways, like Chip Roy.
Some of the things he's proposing are really forward-leaning, but there's others that will treat this kind of like in the days after George Floyd when Republicans were supporting BLM.
And even though those of us who knew things knew that this was a Marxist entity, a lot of the Republican conference is still kind of in this woke mode.
And they'll say that they're opposed to woke, but they won't say what I just said because they will think that that is not politically savvy.
And I don't really care about being politically savvy.
I'm not speaking about individuals.
I'm speaking about statistical trends in large groups.
But we should just be honest and say this.
And at the end of the day, if it comes down to the future of my country and my culture, or not being politically savvy, I'm going to choose the former.
steve bannon
Wade, we've promulgated the study.
I want to have you back on in the next couple of days, maybe on Saturday, after people have had a chance to go through it and absorb it.
As they get into this tonight and tomorrow, the War and Posse go through it.
What is your recommendation?
What are the highlights?
Where should people go?
What should they think about as they're because I want them to go through the details of this?
What's your best guide to that?
wade miller
One, I would urge them to kind of push through this notion that we owe it to some of these communities.
We don't.
And then, and secondly, I would say that we need to pierce through this notion that these people are vetted.
They're not vetted.
The vetting is extremely minimal.
We're not asking cultural permissive, you know, cultural questions, which would lend credence to the idea that this person's suitable for our communities.
And as such, no one can really claim that they're being vetted.
So we need to continue to argue they're not being vetted.
And then I would say support the administration's efforts to start rooting out the worst of these bad actors, turning off some of these refugee statuses, asylum statuses, and to continue to get some of these bad actors out of our country.
steve bannon
Wade, where do they go for CRA, Center for Renewing America?
Where do they go for you?
Social media, website, to get more of the information, sir.
wade miller
Sure, Americarenewing.com.
That's Americarenewing.com.
And on Twitter, I'm at Wade Miller.
steve bannon
Wade, thank the team over there for doing this.
We'll plow through it tonight and get you back on here to break it down for us.
Thank you, sir.
wade miller
Sounds good.
unidentified
Thanks.
steve bannon
Guys, always at the cutting edge.
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
It runs a little longer, but let's go ahead and play President Trump in the Oval talking about artificial intelligence.
It runs longer than the three minutes we have remaining to we're going to break, but I'm just going to let it play and we're going to go right to break with the President of the United States in the Oval Office on artificial intelligence.
Let's let it rip.
donald j trump
Is committed to total dominance in technology.
Right now, we're leading artificial intelligence by a lot.
And I think, you know, you look at what's going up and we're writing rules, regulations.
We want to keep it at the federal government level so it's simple for the companies, very important, frankly.
And I think we're pretty well committed.
I spoke to some of the senators today, and I think we're committed to doing that.
We want to make it as simple as possible, as easy because you're competing with some very big sources.
And we want to say number one by a lot.
We're leading the world in building new data centers and new semiconductor and chip manufacturing facilities and new capacity for AI.
And we're unleashing all of the forms, literally all forms of energy and natural gas and oil to clean beautiful coal and safe, reliable nuclear power.
And I'm giving them approval to, when they build these massive plants, they cost $50 billion.
You know, it used to be that for $50 million, you could build a nice little shopping center, but for $500 million, you could build one of the biggest, most beautiful centers.
And now they're talking about $50 billion.
So explain that one.
These buildings, there's never been anything.
There's never been anything like that.
So you're all involved in that.
It's pretty amazing.
One year ago, our country was considered dead by many leaders throughout the world.
And now we have what's called the hottest country anywhere in the world.
We're the hottest country in the world right now.
Ten months took us.
I thought it was going to take longer, Michael.
I didn't think we were going to have this success this soon.
We have over $18 trillion being invested.
Much of it by Mike Iron for a lot.
What's the number that you're looking at?
unidentified
$150.
donald j trump
$150 billion.
That's good.
I don't know, Michael.
I'm allowed to ask you.
You already gave $6,250,000.
Have you stated a number that you're at for investment, future investment?
unidentified
Well, you know, if I think about all the investment that we make with the American companies that are adding capacity, particularly around semiconductors, it's several hundred billion dollars.
donald j trump
I think that's right.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good.
It makes us six billion.
So very, very small.
steve bannon
Okay, you heard the president.
That was actually the Roosevelt room.
Short break.
Joe Allen on the other side.
unidentified

Joe Allen, give me a minute on your thoughts about the president.
You've heard it all today.
And then I want to know you're planning to pack houses everywhere where people can get you this weekend.
First, the president.
joe allen
Well, Steve, I think that the astonishment that President Trump showed should be resonating across the audience.
The scale of this is so mind-boggling.
Just in that room alone, hundreds of billions of dollars going into building out data centers.
These data centers going out all over the country, all over the world, are going to be used to train new, more advanced models.
And just as importantly, to run the models that are trained and deploy them across every sector of society.
Republicans are going to have to get ahead of this because the left have their talking points about billionaires and about wealth disparity.
They're going to seize on this.
If Republicans throw us under the bus and basically hand our future over to the Jinsen Wongs and the Elon Musks and the Sam Altmans of the world, they're going to get wrecked.
steve bannon
Joe, you're playing to packed houses everywhere.
Where can people get you this weekend, sir?
joe allen
This weekend is going to be a rustic gathering, boys only, no girls allowed, Meriwether Academy.
It's in Nashville, Tennessee, a little bit outside out in the forests.
