Episode 5370: Assimilate Or Go Home; Taiwan Discussions During Xi Summit

Stephen K. Bannon, Tommy Tuberville, and Andy Ogles confront alleged CCP election interference via voter database breaches and embedded spies in Arcadia, California, while advocating for strict assimilation policies against Islamists. The discussion shifts to whistleblower testimony claiming the CIA altered its COVID-19 origin assessment between August 12th and 17th, 2021, under Dr. Fauci's influence to protect mRNA vaccine foundations, alongside warnings that pro-China figures like Elon Musk may sabotage Trump's Beijing summit. Ultimately, the episode argues that detente with China risks bolstering the communist regime rather than achieving regime change. [Automatically generated summary]

The Fauci Influence on IC 00:02:28
james erdman-iii
I am a career CIA operations officer, and as you mentioned, I was on joint duty assignment at the Office of Director National Intelligence Directors Initiatives Group, or the DIG, between March 2025 and April 2026.
I was responsible for leading the DIG's investigation into COVID origins, anomalous health incidents, and unidentified anomalous phenomena.
I'm here today to discuss the COVID cover up, the national security implications associated with the DIGS investigative findings, and CIA refusal to comply with lawful oversight, as well as how we remedy these problems.
Intelligence community leaders and senior analysts downplayed the possibility that the COVID pandemic originated as a result of a lab incident.
Motives are difficult to define given the scope of the DIGS review.
Intentional or not, the IC's actions resulted in a cover up, wasted resources, and a failure to properly inform policymakers.
Public health policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an emergency use authorization mRNA products being mandated by the former administration.
Dr. Fauci's role in the cover up was intentional.
Dr. Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials, and scientists.
This included some of the authors of the paper, The Proximal Origin of SARS CoV 2, and other public health experts who have been in his orbit for the last 20 plus years.
rand paul
But your conclusion is that changing from the scientific consensus of it being from a lab to a neutral position by the CIA was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci?
james erdman-iii
It was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci's injecting himself into the IC.
Orchestrated Lab Leak Cover Up 00:15:27
james erdman-iii
And to go to the second part of your question about what happened, particularly during the 90 day study, we have documentation that shows that as of August 12th, the CIA was.
Considering calling this a lab leak, August 12th of 2021.
And then that changed on August 17th of 2021.
And unfortunately, because the CIA would not provide us documentation that we asked for, we have no idea why that changed.
And that's.
rand paul
And they weren't alone because we know the FBI was coming to the same conclusion that it was a lab leak as well as the FBI.
steve bannon
Wednesday, 13 May, in the year of our Lord 2026.
Okay, tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, until midnight at least, we're going to cover.
Live President Trump's formal arrival and greeting by the chairman of the Communist Party of China, Xi.
We're going to have Pasobic and Solomon and so many other people here, Dr. Thayer, others for live coverage.
So make sure you're back here at Real America's Voice, the War Room at 10 p.m. tonight.
It was a day of explosive testimony on Capitol Hill.
We're going to get to hopefully later the Sharia Supremacy, the anti Sharia Supremacy Committee, Chip Roy and the team over there.
Amazing testimony out of that, but a bombshell by a CIA officer who just, I guess, retired, former Army Special Forces.
We've got a team of all stars.
Senator Tuberville is going to join us.
Congressman Andy Ogles is going to join us.
Bill Gertz is going to join us.
We're going to talk China, but we got to start with this revelation in front of Rand Paul's committee.
Our own Neil McCabe was there.
Neil, essentially what the war room has been hammering, and people got to remember the reason, the first time we were banned everywhere.
On all platforms, national platforms, were because of Anthony Fauci in this exact topic, of which they bought Collins, Fauci, the entire apparatus, MSNBC, all of them bald faced light about this.
What did we find out today about Anthony Fauci panicking and getting into the what they asked for was an independent assessment by the Central Intelligence Agency about the bioweapon lab at Wuhan, sir?
neil mccabe
Yeah, thanks, Steve.
You know, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbert, set up the director's investigation group, the DIG.
And the purpose of the DIG is to sort of go back and find out what happened in different things.
I'm reminded of after the 2020 election, they discovered that intelligence that said, hey, there was no Russian interference, was deliberately altered as an official intelligence community assessment.
That they basically said, oh, wait, there was Russian intelligence.
And now, For the 2016 campaign, excuse me, not for 2020.
And so here we have a guy who was looking into this for Tulsi Gabbard.
He went to the CIA to find out what happened.
He was an active duty CIA officer, and the CIA blocked him at every turn, but he managed to find out that the analysis by the intelligence community about the lab leak theory was altered, as we heard in the testimony, between August 12th and August 17th of 2021.
And the guy who was driving it was Dr. Fauci, which means.
So many of the decisions that were made were based on the fact that the intelligence community said they had no consensus on the origins of COVID.
If they had come forward and said, hey, it came from the Wuhan lab, which everyone agrees it happened, then you could have made a whole other set of decisions.
But it basically froze people from acting.
And then, of course, there was the cover up.
And so he basically went through how the CIA.
Was absolutely not cooperative in his probe.
And he basically left the CIA recently to retire.
And now he's coming forward to Senator Rand Paul, who was hosting this committee.
Republicans showed up.
None of the Democrats did.
And it was absolutely mind blowing to listen to what he was explaining, to think it's like it's something we all knew was true, but we just were told it was that we were imagining it.
steve bannon
Yeah.
And now we got a guy from the inside, and we'll get to that.
Neil, hang on.
Neil's went back to the White House.
Hang on, Neil.
I do want to talk to you about Sharia and more on this.
Just hang on.
I want to get to Senator Tubberville.
Senator Tubberville, we're going to get to, we got a clip from you on this situation with assimilation in Islam.
But I've got to ask you, because you're one of the common sense folks up on Capitol Hill, and you're very close to the president.
We've got, we know, and you know, the Wuhan lab were doing, you know, gain of function to power up these viruses to be bioweapons.
You had a leak.
Either they let it go purposely or it was a leak, okay?
You've got, we now know from John Solomon's reporting, 18 states, the Chinese Communist Party broke into the data sets of the voter registration to manipulate and defeat Trump in 2020 because President Trump was cleaning their clocks.
Now we know there's a mayor in Arcadia in suburban LA or the greater LA network that is a town, city, that is a Chinese Communist Party spy.
And my sources tell me there are going to be thousands more that have come out when the FBI finishes this investigation.
That all being said, Right?
Even leaving the economics aside and what they're trying to do in chips and AI.
Shouldn't the president have a pretty blunt conversation with Chairman Xi as the kind of kickoff tonight when we're covering this live when they meet at the Forbidden City?
Shouldn't he have a very blunt conversation about what the Chinese Communist Party has tried to do as an enemy of the United States of America, sir?
tommy tuberville
Yeah, I agree with you, Steve.
You know, President Trump holds all the cards here.
You know, their country's dead broke.
Now, we're not far behind them now, but we've got a lot going for us.
Our economy is going very well, but their economy stinks.
But President Trump has got a full house, and President Z has very few cards in his hand.
So I would hope that he would try to get to the bottom of this.
Steve, I was on the help committee when I first got here, went through all these interviews and hearings with Fauci.
What a piece of trash.
You know, this guy lied to the American people, killed a lot of American people.
And I'm telling you, you know, just listening to Todd Blanch, we had lunch with him today here in the Senate, and listen to all the problems that they're trying to cover with the Attorney General's office.
You know, we're going to lose this country if we don't wake up and smell the rose.
The American people are going to quit paying taxes.
They've had enough of this nonsense.
People need to go to jail.
But I got off your point there.
President Trump, I think that, you know, after probably getting briefed with what's going on here, On Capitol Hill today, that there could be some discussion with the Chinese president about what happened.
There's no doubt that it came from there, probably was on purpose, but what near as bad is what they said it was.
But at the end of the day, our federal government was absolutely atrocious during the Biden's year during COVID.
steve bannon
You sat through sworn testimony of Tony Fauci over and over again.
Does anything the CIA whistleblower said today about Fauci got actively involved in the intelligence community?
To shut the probe down and to make sure the final report said, from what the consensus was at the CIA and among the intelligence community, that this was a lab leak of a weaponized virus from the military installment in Wuhan, China, to it was something that came from bats hanging out in caves, sir?
tommy tuberville
Yeah, it wasn't bats hanging out in caves.
It was all originated and probably paid for by us through the gain of function research that Dr. Fauci just swarmed down that we weren't funding.
But we found since then, we found out that he was funding it.
And Rand Paul did a great job with all the hearings.
He really kept up with this.
Rand was on top of it.
Being a doctor, he understood the vaccine, he understood the things that were going on, and he went after Fauci.
And again, we knew there was a problem about a year or so ago before President Trump went in when President Biden pardoned Fauci.
We knew that we were getting to the bottom of it.
John Solomon's done a great job.
All the people behind the scenes, this whistleblower, just one of many that's probably going to come out.
But again, The American people need some retribution here.
They need somebody to pay for the price for this.
And again, this all started at the top.
It was all orchestrated and it put the American people and our country in a tailspin.
And we probably, Steve, when I first got here, we spent $7 trillion, Joe Biden did through reconciliation that we should have never spent.
I mean, it's just amazing the money that we spent up here.
And it all went to the blue cities, the mayors and the governors that were dead broke, and money in the pockets of all these NGOs across the world.
steve bannon
Senator, let's go ahead and play.
We're going to spend much more time on the Chinese situation.
Let's go ahead and play your clip and we'll get back to this assimilation issue.
will cain
Congressman, how do you measure that?
How do you enforce that?
That someone, I've seen how other countries measure it.
I know what they do in Turkey.
How do we do it?
How do we measure assimilation?
andy ogles
Well, you know, like the senator said, the first thing we, one of the things we have to do in this process, we have to deport, deport, and deport.
And then you analyze those folks that are coming into this country.
You got to love this country.
You have to have something.
Bring something to the table.
Have a job sponsor instead of coming here and getting on welfare.
And look, the numbers are unsustainable as they are.
This isn't me being prejudiced.
This is simple math.
We have deficits that are growing.
We have spending that's out of control.
President Trump is working to get those numbers back in line, but that takes time.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration allowed our country to be invaded.
We're taking a stand and saying enough is enough.
We want our country back.
And if you don't love this country, if you don't want to be a part of our country and provide and be a part of our society, you can get the hell out.
will cain
It seems pretty intuitive.
I don't know how that can be accused of being prejudiced.
I mean, anything.
Whether or not you're a company, a family, or a nation, would be asking Should the people we invite into our front door who might be joining that company, family, or country actually want to?
Or do they want to come in here and ruin it?
tommy tuberville
Islamists aren't coming here looking for a better life.
That's a true fallacy.
They're coming here to impose their radical beliefs on us and to mooch off the American taxpayers.
Game, set, match.
That's exactly why they're here.
They're coming to impose everything they possibly can on the United States of America.
Get by with it and tear us down at the same time.
They have no interest in adapting to American national identity.
They want to change the national identity to a mirror of their death cult Islamic beliefs.
You heard that.
They're here to kill us all.
steve bannon
Senator Tuberville, pretty blunt.
We got 30 seconds.
I want to hold you through the break, sir.
How is that, your blunt talk and assessment, how is that received by your colleagues in the Senate, sir?
tommy tuberville
Well, I'm the only senator that's really speaking out.
I'm actually on that caucus of Ship Roy's, the No Sharia caucus.
But at the end of the day, we've got to fix this immigration system, Steve.
We've got to do something.
We've got to prioritize who comes in this country.
If we don't, we're going to lose it.
I mean, it's going down the drain fast, but we have to prioritize.
steve bannon
Senator Tubberville, just hang on for one second.
A short commercial break.
We've got Senator Tommy Tubberville, the other gentleman in that clip, first clip.
Congressman Andy Ogles is with us also.
Bill Gertz, China, Islam in the war room.
tommy tuberville
Islamists aren't coming here looking for a better life.
That's a true fallacy.
They're coming here to impose their radical beliefs on us and to mooch off the American taxpayers.
Game, set, match.
That's exactly why they're here.
They're coming to impose everything they possibly can on the United States of America.
Get by with it and tear us down at the same time.
They have no interest in adapting to American national identity.
They want to change the national identity to a mirror of their death cult Islamic beliefs.
You heard that.
They're here to kill us all.
steve bannon
That is pretty blunt, Senator.
Why are you the only senator that is part of the anti Sharia caucus, sir?
Where are the rest of your colleagues?
tommy tuberville
Well, this is election year, Steve.
And when you're in an election year, nobody wants to make any decisions.
They want to straddle the fence.
And we have some of our colleagues that will talk about it a little bit, but they won't express it like I do.
I'm worried to death.
I'm worried to death our country is sinking fast because we've got our eyes shut.
And again, it's something that we all should know up here.
This place is not run on merit based when it comes to having leadership in the Senate, it's all based on seniority.
You can have somebody stay up here 40 years and they might not be qualified to do any kind of job when it comes to chairmanships, but because of seniority, they're here.
We've got to change that.
We've got to do everything merit based, get away from seniority, and people will go home instead of get reelected.
And we've talked about that before.
Term limits make no difference.
Just go to merit based selection on chairman, and we'd be in good shape.
steve bannon
Senator, I want to tell you if you've talked to the president about this, but the data is so overwhelming about the Scamming of the legal immigration system, the H 1B visas.
I mean, we spent three months in Texas.
We're going back there for this primary with Ken Paxton.
The HBV1 visas is just below the Sharia law problem.
And people, once we gave them a permission structure to talk about Sharia law, it exploded.
The folks out there in the United States see what the problem is every day.
And they're shocked that their representatives, you know, there's a handful of people like you and Congressman Ogles and Chip Roy and a handful of others that will take this on.
But the rest to know that you're the only member of the United States Senate as part of the Sharia anti Sharia caucus.
Is not acceptable, sir.
tommy tuberville
Well, the big thing that we need to tell and educate our people here in this country is that there's a reason that we're having a record amount of churches that are being burned, Christian churches.
Intimidation and the Sharia Law Problem 00:14:51
tommy tuberville
There's a reason why we have a record amount of mosques that are being built all over this country.
And it started the same way in Europe.
And now look where they're at.
Europe is gone.
They're going to have to fight in the streets to get their countries back Italy, France, Germany, the UK.
We're going to have to do the same thing if we don't wake up.
And stop this nonsense as we speak.
And I want to thank Andy Ogles here for what he's doing and Chip Roy, all the group over there.
But we need to get more people in line with this, especially the senators over speaking about this because it's going to be too late if we continue to put this off.
steve bannon
Senator Turberville, your staff's saying you got to go vote now.
Thank you for coming on.
Where do people, what are the social media?
You're one of the truth tellers up there that folks want to follow.
Where do they go, sir?
tommy tuberville
Coach for Gov. That's what we got, Steve.
Election next week.
steve bannon
Coach for Gov, sir, thank you very much.
We will follow that closely.
Running for the governorship of Alabama in a primary.
Thank you, sir.
Go with God.
Andy Ogles, Congressman, you've been a fierce warrior on these topics, the most important to the MAGA base and to the grassroots in this country.
The question is why is it a handful and why is it always the same handful of people that are out there that have the courage to come forward and speak out, sir?
andy ogles
Well, I mean, I think why you see so few people willing to say the, you know, really lead on these difficult conversations is look what they did to you.
Look what they did to me.
I've spent, you know, under the Biden administration, they came after me.
They weaponized the Justice Department to try to shut me down.
But I was going after Jack Smith.
I was going after Kamala Harris.
I had impeachment articles.
And just a few weeks later, after I had done those things, they're coming after me.
They're taking my phone.
And so there's this environment of intimidation.
That existed under the Biden administration, an administration that we knew was corrupt, right?
And if you dare speak out, if you dare try to hold them accountable, they came after you.
You know it better than anyone.
President Trump knows it better than anyone.
I got a two year colonoscopy from the Justice Department because of the Biden administration.
And so, but I never backed down.
I held firm in my belief.
I trusted in God.
And at the end of the day, you just keep moving forward.
And these conversations that we're having are important to the American people because our country is being invaded.
The southern border was wide open.
They led in terrorists.
They led in murderers.
They led in rapists.
And I'm sick of this crap.
And I'm not going to stand by and let this happen.
We need to deport these people.
We need to send them back to their countries.
And by the way, if you don't love this country, you shouldn't be here.
steve bannon
The fierceness of you and a handful of others why is leadership?
Why is leadership?
Because this is a winning formula.
This is how we won in 16.
This is how we won again in 20 when they stole it.
This is how we came back from the greatest steal and suppression.
And oppression ever to win again, record numbers in 24.
This is a winning formula.
The people in the United States will have your back.
What is House leadership?
What don't they get about these topics?
andy ogles
Well, again, you know, there is an environment of fear.
You have this slim majority, and I think sometimes they overthink it.
Just do the right thing.
The American people, when you look at immigration, when you look at the economy, when you look at the issues we have with China, these are kitchen table type of topics that people are talking about that they're worried about.
And if you talk to the American, the average person, and you address the things that they're worried about, that they're concerned about, the rest take care of itself.
unidentified
Right?
andy ogles
It's just at the end of the day, it's common sense.
And so, you know, sometimes I get called a hero and a champion.
And at the end of the day, I'm just doing what my constituents elected me to do.
unidentified
Right?
andy ogles
John Quincy Adams, he liked the House representative because it's where you argued and debated.
And my job is to argue on behalf of the American people.
And the American people are tired of this crap.
They're tired of giving their country away to the Somalis and the Chinese and to these people from South and Central America that they come here, they steal, they rape, and they murder Americans.
Enough is enough.
This is common sense.
unidentified
You are.
steve bannon
You are a hero because you step up and you won't back down.
Let's just talk.
President Trump is going to, you know, we're going to cover it live tonight from 10 to midnight.
Pasovik, Solomon, the entire RAF crew.
We're going to have Thayer and others.
You know, we just had testimony today, the CIA about the lab.
You know about the lab.
You've been hammering it for years.
You saw where now John Solomon's breaking.
They broke into 18 to 24 state databases for voter registration to change the thing on the 2020 election.
And now you got a mayor.
And the mayor has admitted that she's a spy for the Chinese Communist Party.
And my understanding, there's going to be thousands more that come out.
Given all that, how can we even have a discussion talking about trade when we got to get through, hey, what you're doing to us in this war that you have against the United States of America, sir?
andy ogles
Well, you know, I think the president goes to China with a strong hand.
You know, so I'm chairman of cybersecurity for Homeland, also includes AI.
You know, when I get the classified briefings, I get some of the types of classified briefings that most members of Congress don't get.
And what I can tell you is China attacks us every single day.
There's another war that's taking place.
It's that unseen war, and it's in the cybersphere.
And China is trying to attack and steal, they steal intellectual property.
And so the president is able to go to China, and we know, like, we've caught him red handed.
And so, you know, at the end of the day, this is, there's an economic component to it.
When you look at oil, when you look at the war in Iran, there's a lot to impact there.
But at the end of the day, they are another global power.
They're not as great as America, but they want to be.
They want to take us out, quite frankly.
And the president knows that.
He understands that.
And so, you know, the president is a shrewd negotiator, art of the deal.
And he'll be there arguing, and quite frankly, on behalf of the American people.
steve bannon
You're saying from the briefings you got, these are daily cyber attacks?
andy ogles
Every day, every day, all day.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on.
We got a clip for you.
I'm going to play it.
I'm going to come back.
We're going to go to commercial break and stick with Congressman Andy Owens.
Let's go and play the clip.
andy ogles
I live out in the country on top of a hill on a farm.
So these cars were out of place.
And he comes in and says, Dad, there's some cars across the street.
Well, it turns out those cars were the FBI.
If you cut a deal and walk away from your political office, if you would stop the fight, the persecution would go away.
unidentified
And I said, Buddy, if we don't get out of politics, they're going to destroy us personally, they're going to destroy us financially, they're going to destroy us politically.
ron johnson
People who would like to serve in this administration, people who would like to repair the damage done by the partisan acts of the Biden administration, are pretty reluctant to do so because they realize the less lawfare will destroy their careers as well.
lauren boebert
The FBI opened a secret preliminary investigation on me called Operation Rampart 12.
rick scott
Contractor Booz Allen went out and stole my tax returns and gave it to ProPublica.
The Biden administration did nothing.
randy fine
Trump is in China right now.
These are stories I would expect to hear at a press conference over there.
ralph norman
There may be a day that if you print a story and it's not to the liking of the deep state who are the epitome of weaponized wiretaps, you may not be able to write that story.
andy ogles
And so over the last two years, we've had to fight to clear my name.
And to this day, our son still has nightmares.
That the Biden administration in the middle of the night or some morning is going to come in and take his dad away.
steve bannon
Congressman Ogles, it's not simply the Biden administration, it's also the deep state, the permanent bureaucracy that believes that they run the country that came after you and targeted you and others, correct?
andy ogles
Absolutely.
And that fear is real.
So when you look at that video, by the way, shout out to Giancarlo for making it.
He did a great job.
But that being said, it's real.
I mean, even today, even though Trump is the president of the United States, He's a commander in chief.
He's a friend.
And knowing that he's a friend and knowing that he's righting the wrongs that were done under the Biden administration, there's a part of me when I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is I look out my front window because there's that trauma, that PTSD, if you will.
And I'm not comparing myself to any soldier that has PTSD, full disclosure.
But that being said, it's real because it changes the way you think about life, understanding that they want to take you out.
unidentified
Yeah.
Right?
They're coming.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
We've got a short break.
Congressman Andy Ogles from Tennessee, next.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
steve bannon
Congressman, the president thinks very highly of you because you're a fighter.
He likes the cut of your jib, as we say in the Navy.
Given everything that's going on, Iran, the war, the economy, we just had a bad print today in inflation, that you're one of the leaders of the anti CCP movement, what would you think would be our best outcome?
And what What advice would you give the President of the United States in this two day negotiation?
He's going to be there over in Beijing with Xi, sir.
andy ogles
Absolutely.
We have to leave from a position of strength.
And they need to understand if you want access to our markets, we have access to yours.
They need to understand that if you steal our IP, there's going to be a consequence.
You know, there's an example where China hacked a European auto manufacturer.
They stole their intellectual property, they used it in their cars, BYD.
They put malicious software in that European manufacturer's car, set them back a year.
And so, this is how China operates.
And if you play that game with us, we are going to come, we're going to, there's going to be a payback, there's going to be retribution in the same way.
If Mexico were to launch a mortar into Texas, there's going to be a response.
China needs to understand if you hack our companies, if you steal our IP, we're tired of the nonsense.
We're playing for keeps, and we're going to come back at you.
steve bannon
Congressman, you chaired the subcommittee on cyber.
Given AI, what we've heard of Anthropic and the mythos preview, and now we heard Google talking about an AI cyber attack.
Are you more optimistic or less optimistic that we can get our hands around this thing with AI and these cyber techs?
andy ogles
Well, I mean, AI is an incredible tool.
And just for your audience to understand, the United States of America, we are the dominant predator across all landscapes.
So, air, sea, cyber, space, we own it all.
But that being said, AI is something that can change that dynamic quickly.
And in my role, I've had the opportunity to use kind of a jailbroken or unrestricted AI.
And I was able to get it to help me construct a bomb, quite frankly.
It even told me how to make a detonation device, how I should transport it.
So, it can also be used for very dangerous.
Ways and means.
And so we need to put up guardrails to keep Americans safe.
But we also need to understand that China's not going to put up those guardrails.
They're pushing forward because they want to beat us in quantum computing and they want us to beat us as far as the agents and their capability for artificial intelligence.
And so we're in a new arms race.
So before with Russia, it was nukes.
Who had the most nukes?
Who had the fastest missiles?
This new arms race is over cyber, AI, and over course computing power.
And so we need to understand that China is our adversary.
They don't play fair.
And we need to understand that in any negotiation, in any relationship that we have with China, that they cheat and they will steal.

unidentified
Tonight, the eyes of the world are locked on Beijing.
The two greatest superpowers on Earth meeting face to face.
President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, two leaders whose decisions could reshape the future of the planet.
donald j trump
China and I'm for the USA and it's very simple.
unidentified
What will be decided about Iran?
What will be said about Taiwan?
And who will emerge as the economic superpower of the future?
Behind closed doors, the stakes could not be higher.
Markets, militaries, allies, enemies, the whole world watching every move.
Together, Real America's Voice and the War Room are taking you inside the story.
steve bannon
We're at war with China.
My recommendation is throw down hard.
unidentified
Join Steve Bannon alongside special guest Jack Posokic and more.
Trump in China.
Special coverage begins.
Tonight, 10 p.m. Eastern to midnight, only on Real America's Voice.
steve bannon
That's the way it is.
unidentified
That's the way it stands.
We're going to do very well.
steve bannon
Bill Gertz joins us from the Washington Times.
Bill Gertz is the original gangster of covering the Chinese Communist Party in a very deep and thorough way.
Bill, you had a table setter, what I call the other day in the Washington Times.
Can you walk us through your thoughts as we get ready to do live coverage tonight at 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time of President Trump being greeted and received?
By the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Chairman Xi.
bill gertz
Yeah, we're looking at pretty much a standoff between the US and China.
And the business side of things, I think, is very significant in the president's entourage.
He's got a group of pro China business people Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jensen Wong, and they want to make deals.
On the positive side, we've got Marco Rubio, Cuban American anti communist.
And Pete Hegseth, I think, was the big stick for the president's group that's in China.
I'm very concerned about the discussions on artificial intelligence.
Rare Earths as a Trojan Horse 00:02:33
bill gertz
This is a Trojan horse for the Chinese.
They want to do some type of, quote, AI safety agreement that is, don't connect your AI to the nuclear things.
China can't be trusted to do any agreement.
I think the Chinese will say, or Xi Jinping will tell Trump, he'll say, Yeah, sure, we'll agree to AI safety as long as you loosen all controls on the most advanced NVIDIA AI chips.
steve bannon
Well, you've got Jensen.
Look, I'm blunt.
I think Elon Musk and Jensen Wong are agents of influence for the Chinese Communist Party.
Elon's been financed through Tesla and other things.
His mother's over there right now as a TV personality and TV star.
He's up to his neck.
In the 100th anniversary of the CCP, he put out glowing.
Tweets about how great they were.
Jensen Wong's worse.
Jensen Wong has said, Oh, you know, these guys want to do business and they're good and you can trust them.
And it doesn't matter if China wins the AI race.
It doesn't matter if a Chinese company wins the AI race.
He just wants to sell them more advanced chips.
So, given that's a reality, right?
And these guys say, And look at the Casa K. He's got Fink, he's got Schwarzmeier, he's got Elon Musk, he's got, you couldn't put together a bigger group of demons to come there and they want to open China.
And President Trump, I realize, he's trying to balance a lot, including the global economy.
But The Chinese Communist Party, you know, the pandemic out of the Wuhan lab, you heard the CIA officer today.
The mayor of Arcadia is one of thousands that are out there.
They broke into 20 databases of states to assist Biden, who is on their payroll, to steal the 2020 election from President Trump.
President Trump's the only person, Bill, as you know, because he reads your columns constantly, is the only one who's ever stood up to China.
But now, They want to, because of the economic problem and the problem in the Middle East, they want some sort of accommodation, sir.
bill gertz
Yeah.
To me, the inflection point was about the middle of last year when China announced it was imposing export restrictions on rare earths.
The Communist Party views its control over rare earths as a major trump card.
Sorry for the pun there, but a major trump card.
They control.
Like 90% of the rare earths, which are needed for everything from warplanes to automobiles.
China's Existential Threat to US 00:05:37
bill gertz
And that was a shock to the Trump administration.
Trump had been putting in tariffs.
I think at one point they reached 147%.
Well, everything changed after that.
And then fast forward to the October summit in South Korea and they backed down.
There was a truce in the trade war.
Now we're seeing a detente.
Remember detente?
Yeah, the Soviet Union, right?
That was in the 70s when we decided we were going to do arms agreements with the Soviet Union.
And again, basically, it was bolstering this communist regime.
It was not regime change in Moscow, which Reagan successfully orchestrated.
So I think there's a lot of dangers in this summit.
steve bannon
Well, they're also arming, they're doing the overline route and arming the Persians.
That's their ally.
They're trying to break the U.S. dollar and get us off the.
The petrodollar with doing the deals in Chinese Yuan.
Also, they've got the, as Sam Faddis says, the 25 ships off of Malaysia that they're trying to get the oil through to basically get around sanctions every second.
What would be your recommendation, given the situation we are in Iran?
What would be your recommendation to the President of the United States as he kicks off tonight at 10 p.m., as he kicks off the beginning of, looks like, an eight hour negotiation, sir?
bill gertz
Well, I think the first thing would be, I mean, there would be two or three main things, but the first thing that the president should bring up is, uh, Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon.
Those are the code names by security researchers for massive Chinese hacking operations.
And not just to steal information, for cyber sabotage, to get inside of all of our critical infrastructures water, communications, electrical grid, financial sector, every area.
They are inside the wire right now with those penetrations and access points.
Back in 2015, we saw Obama.
Fecklessly try to reach an agreement with Xi Jinping, say, hey, don't hack us, we won't hack you.
Guess who lied?
You know, the Chinese.
So, really, I think that that should be a starting point that what the Chinese have done cyber wise to our infrastructure and theft, and it's all connected to AI.
You know, they're massive data collectors.
All they need from us is the advanced computer chips, and they'll have the most advanced artificial intelligence systems.
steve bannon
Should we cut off Jensen Wong and these guys are sitting there wanting to press to sell more chips?
Should we cut the Chinese, all the ecosystem, cut them off of all chips, cut them off of every kid here studying at MIT, cut them off of everybody in an American company and in a U.S. lab, all money?
Fink, you can't give them a debt.
Schwarzman, you can't give them equity.
Go hardcore.
Is that what actually should happen here, sir?
bill gertz
Oh, absolutely.
There should be no doubt.
I wouldn't see, I agree with Sam Faddis, the president should never have gone to China.
Considering the conditions that there are.
But Trump sees himself as a great deal maker.
He doesn't understand the nature, excuse me, got a cough here.
He doesn't understand the nature, the ideological nature of his interlocutor.
Xi Jinping is a hardline communist.
He's trying to manage Trump, he's trying to flatter Trump.
He knows Trump likes to make deals.
The Chinese, they don't believe in deals.
I had a friend who spent 15 years doing business in China.
He said, for the Chinese, a deal is only valid on the day that it's signed.
As soon as the conditions changed after that day, the Chinese don't feel bound by any deals or agreements.
I don't think Trump fully understands that, but yet he wants to get a lot of business deals.
He wants Boeing to sell some jetliners.
He wants to get China to buy some soybeans.
But he needs to understand that China is an existential threat to the United States.
They're on the march globally, they want to take over the world.
The only impediment to that is the United States.
The other narrative that China is pushing is this notion that the U.S. is in decline and China is in the ascension.
Trump is trying to disabuse Xi Jinping of that notion, but I think he's got an uphill battle in trying to do that.
steve bannon
Bill Gertz, where do we go?
We're going to push out on the Washington Times your font of information, social media, website, books.
Where do people go?
bill gertz
Gertzfile.com or my.
All my books are on Amazon and, of course, the Washington Times.
I have a weekly column inside the ring, and I also do a podcast, Victory Over Communism with Bill Gertz.
steve bannon
Sir, you're one of the original warriors here and the mentor to all of us.
So thank you very much, Bill Gertz.
bill gertz
Thank you, Steve.
Keep up the great work.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
Appreciate you.

He rocked his world.
Just stay steady.
Do that.
You got all the cards.
All the cards.
Short commercial break.
Back in the warm in a moment.
Medicare Advisors Pushing Profitable Plans 00:04:28
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Colby Bloomfield Gans joins me, the founder and CEO of Chapter.
Sir, you came at the.
We talked about AI and cyber and data all day today and prepping for our live coverage of President Trump's formal arrival to Beijing and Chairman Xi.
You actually come from that world, and the fact that you've taken a couple of years to study Medicare and came to the conclusion that the other advisory services, consulting services, were not serving people correctly because they didn't understand the data.
Why is CHAPTER different?
cobi blumenfeld-gantz
We are the only Medicare advisor that looks at every single Medicare option, truly understands what's in a Medicare plan, and recommends the right plan for each person.
We do use a lot of really sophisticated technology and artificial intelligence.
We use the best data, which takes a lot of work to create.
To make sure that we're providing the best guidance to each American and each member of the posse who gives us a call.
steve bannon
The feedback's been pretty, I mean, overwhelming.
People are just amazed that you guys go through this.
Why is it there's $100 billion of fees out there?
The structure of this industry is kind of upside down.
One, it's very confusing on purpose, right?
To kind of overwhelm people.
I can tell you that because I can't make any sense of it, right?
And I've got a business degree and worked at Goldman.
It's on that way for purpose.
It's structured like that on purpose.
But in addition, there's $100 billion of fees that the insurance companies want to make sure that they're getting the lion's share, if not all of.
unidentified
Sir?
Yes.
cobi blumenfeld-gantz
If Americans were choosing the right Medicare coverage and optimizing the system, they would save $100 billion per year on their Medicare plans.
And currently, that's going back into the pockets of the insurance carriers.
So one of the things we do is try to make sure that Americans get the most out of their Medicare plan and pay the least amount for it.
Just a couple of days ago, actually, we supported a posse member.
Switching from one Medicare supplement plan to another.
And this woman saved $1,200 a year with identical coverage.
So, all Medicare supplement plans of the same letter are by law identical.
They have the same coverage.
And most people don't know this.
And what happens is, many or most Medicare advisors look at such a small subset of options that people just sign up for the plan that the Medicare advisor is pushing because that's what pays the Medicare advisor the most.
So, because we look at every single option, we can almost always find a plan that's more cost effective for the same health insurance.
And so, in that way, that's just one of the many ways that we help people save a ton of money and get peace of mind on their Medicare coverage.
steve bannon
And get the right program.
I mean, it's just important.
It's saving money, but it's also getting something like your mom.
She got into something and said, Hey, I realized that I can't get out of it.
I made a mistake after I talked to advisors.
845 Warham is the number people call.
We got a special number just for Warham Posse.
When they call, what's the next step?
What do they do then?
cobi blumenfeld-gantz
We connect them directly to one of our licensed Medicare advisors.
We'll have an informational consultation, it's totally free.
If you have questions about whether you should sign up for Medicare, we'll help you understand that.
If you know you need to sign up for Medicare and need to figure out which plan to sign up for, we'll help you with that.
And if you just want to optimize your coverage and see, am I on the right plan?
We'll tell you if you are or if there's a plan that would better suit your needs.
And then importantly, after you've already enrolled, we'll help you with anything that has to do with your Medicare plan.
So if you need to find a specialist choosing network, we can help you with that.
If you need to appeal a bill or a claim, we can help you with that.
And it's entirely free, all for the War Room posse at 845 War Room.
steve bannon
845 War Room, and you saved a posse member $1,200.
And as importantly, got her into a plan that suits her.
Colby, thanks.
People are raving about this.
845 War Room, you've got your advisors and consultants standing by.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate you.
cobi blumenfeld-gantz
Thank you.
steve bannon
The feedback we've gotten from members or from War Room posse members is very strong.
It's totally free.
Now, we set these up so that you can get free.
You can talk to these folks.
It's no obligation.
It's free and see, kind of feel your way through there and see if it's right for you.
