up on china uh and so uh let's welcome uh to the war room uh colonel derrick harvey uh years of
00:01:44.840
service to our country uh and at first i think we want to do a uh whirlwind tour uh around the globe
00:01:52.800
the hot spots uh we had uh john mills on a few weeks back uh and you know in addition to the four
00:02:01.120
hot spots he brought up you know 14 other uh areas of interest all related to china in his view
00:02:09.260
uh and so uh colonel harvey welcome to the war room and if you if you just want to you know help the
00:02:15.280
help the war room posse put into context uh where do all these wars fit that we're seeing in the
00:02:22.360
headlines a lot of it we're not being educated in the headlines for obvious political reasons
00:02:27.600
uh but why don't you uh lead us on what matters most and then uh where where we should be aiming
00:02:34.720
and uh and and what may be a misdirection plays uh from the administration welcome to the show
00:02:40.260
colonel derrick harvey well great to be here and you know i'd like to begin this tour de horizon with
00:02:46.260
you know the quick examination of what's going on with israel and you know iran and we're on the
00:02:52.020
precipice of a wider war there uh and it's been going on over nine months with the united states
00:02:58.440
restraining and restricting israel and its response and trying to you know check it while it protects
00:03:04.380
you know hamas's viability and tries to prevent a wider war with iran but while israel is fighting
00:03:12.080
these wars on multiple fronts every day a campaign in the north against hezbollah you got the houthis you
00:03:18.800
got hamas and palestinian islamic jihad more stuff going on in the west bank and then you know we had
00:03:24.860
in april the direct fire from iran iran is behind all of this okay in the military scheme of things
00:03:31.640
and this this is you know an ongoing conflict that is going to reach you know i think a a a high point
00:03:39.020
here very quickly um with you know what iran is trying to do which is coordinate a an attack against
00:03:46.680
israel on multiple fronts simultaneously from the north to south the houthis and and gaza uh and
00:03:53.720
create more unrest at west bank in a coordinated orchestrated uh attack to show you know that they
00:04:00.200
are you know wreaking revenge for the assassination assassination of hania in tehran um people forget in
00:04:08.720
this dialogue what iran is doing we forget of what iran is doing and directing financing equipping
00:04:15.580
and managing this coordinated effort against israel but this is where it gets interesting china russia
00:04:23.260
are involved in this you know china in particular um they see a weakening of israel as an ally
00:04:31.320
and as a a stabilizing force in the region uh they wanted to undercut the abraham accords because if
00:04:37.800
israel goes down or is weakened and does not come out of this strategically seen as a winner by everybody
00:04:43.920
it will undercut american influence in the region it will undercut us economically undermine stability
00:04:50.040
and then further encourage aggression against not just israel but our allies they will look elsewhere
00:04:56.820
so they are working not just in the military sphere but in political warfare across the globe okay
00:05:03.900
supporting leftist marxist palestinian groups financially etc also gutter and turkey are are in line with
00:05:12.760
this and then in the international organizations they are facilitating and helping you know this
00:05:19.220
political warfare the bds movement to disinvest from from israel and use the who the international
00:05:28.440
court at the hague the united nations to undermine weakened and get to a strangulation strategy that makes
00:05:37.320
israel cry uncle so this is a very dangerous situation and if israel is weakened then we are weakened in my
00:05:44.940
view and our allies and friends start looking for other places so that's the hot spot now yeah
00:05:51.140
ukraine yeah let me let me let me just ask you yeah yeah before we go to ukraine uh a lot of folks in
00:06:00.820
war room uh watch uh scott ritter on youtube douglas mcgregor on youtube uh they say uh israel
00:06:10.760
is lost but they they say they're gonna lose right uh hezbollah iran uh turkey they say egypt is waiting
00:06:20.520
in the wings uh there's a periphery around uh i i haven't seen enough evidence on that but what's your
00:06:29.780
response to to to ritter and mcgregor who say israel is way over its head they don't have the capability
00:06:37.600
uh and part of the strategy is just to try to lure the u.s in to this greater war what's what's your
00:06:44.800
response to that piece well one is i do not think israel is trying to lure us into a greater war
00:06:51.940
the united states has restrained israel but israel is fully capable of fighting this war themselves and
00:06:59.420
doing what's necessary what we've fallen into in this case is the trap of you know believing that
00:07:05.520
the enemies are stronger than they are that they have more depth more capability more resilience than
00:07:11.780
they actually have iran is a case in point you know but also we saw that with the soviet union we see
00:07:18.860
that with you know fighting russia today where their forces were were exaggerated about being able to
00:07:24.760
overrun you know ukraine you know with very little effort and the expectations were that
00:07:30.680
russia would win in four days okay you know we're falling into this trap of thinking our enemies are
00:07:36.440
stronger than they are and that we are weaker and then we become risk averse number two a quick point
00:07:42.140
about israel i want to point to what i call sometimes neo-isolationists that do not uh look at israel
00:07:49.080
in its own you know column here as separated from ukraine which i have problems with the ukraine
00:07:56.160
issue here i don't know how that one ends in our favor but with israel having worked israel in the
00:08:02.940
pentagon having worked as the director and assistant to the president for the middle east and north africa
00:08:09.160
and having worked with israel in joint ways for a number of years the israelis are fully capable of
00:08:16.500
of taking this on and fighting the fight and taking it to them because they know the weaknesses and they
00:08:23.520
know the strengths and they are just now getting to a point where they're going to be in a position to
00:08:28.900
really shift gears and take the fight to hezbollah and to iran if necessary and there are critical
00:08:35.080
vulnerabilities you can shut down the whole energy grid in iran by just hitting a few places they re they
00:08:43.080
import almost all of the refined gasoline and oil products they don't produce it themselves that's a
00:08:48.960
strategic vulnerability you can shut down the whole economy the regime relies on a reign of tear
00:08:54.900
in order to keep the population on board and that's one reason iran's going to try and strike
00:09:00.860
quick sooner rather than later because they need to send a message not only domestically but
00:09:06.600
internationally that they're not they're not weak because they're worried about domestic unrest and
00:09:12.080
we've avoided supporting or advocating or even using information operations to undermine what is a very
00:09:23.000
yeah yep that i want it before we go to ukraine i want to hit one other uh point of contention out there
00:09:31.660
and that is the relative strength of china as a lot hinges on the conclusion there right china's got a
00:09:40.080
whole host of problems i think they have 13 trillion now uh in local and regional debt uh they have a
00:09:48.500
collapsing uh real estate sector which is a primary asset they got a demography problem a lot of capital
00:09:55.860
flight going on and so that links in uh as you were saying sometimes we overestimate uh our adversaries
00:10:04.620
uh but at the same time boy they're doing a good job of luring those bricks countries right there's 40
00:10:10.520
countries they're going slow and steady it looks uh in chipping at our uh reserve currency uh but just
00:10:19.020
building a huge alliance of people uh you know it's not going to happen in a year or two or three
00:10:25.660
but we're losing friends uh they're building alliances uh do you think they can sustain that
00:10:33.080
alliance do you think they have enough economic power uh to sustain what they've been doing
00:10:39.160
uh over the next few years uh colonel harvey well mr dr thayer probably has uh more granularity on
00:10:48.140
that but my perception of it having looked at it for a number of years on house intelligence
00:10:52.520
committee and elsewhere from a global intelligence perspective i think that china okay you know most
00:10:59.380
important thing is we need net assessments we spend too much time looking at at um reports and singular
00:11:06.900
data points and we don't look at the whole picture and understand what that country's motivations are
00:11:13.500
what their fears are what they're actually trying to do and in china it's it's a pretty good read we can
00:11:19.120
figure that one out you know but we don't really pay much attention to what they say to themselves
00:11:23.900
and what they're writing in their own doctrine books and their own publications for their domestic
00:11:28.640
audience but i think what they've been doing is gradually building up their military a blue water
00:11:34.640
navy that can extend worldwide they're getting ports and and airfields in different places on the
00:11:41.400
eastern part of western part of africa eastern part of africa they're expanding into the
00:11:47.280
mediterranean sea they're doing a lot of things in venezuela they've got a tremendous amount invested
00:11:53.160
there both iran and china does along with cuba through russia so they are bound and determined not
00:12:00.080
to lose that foothold they have in south america and venezuela so they are very adept for pushing on
00:12:07.360
all of these areas economically diplomatically militarily in ways that are more sophisticated
00:12:13.240
and more focused on aggrandizing power and influence to themselves our state department
00:12:18.900
fails in comparison to what they're doing in the foreign ministry our dod fails in comparison to what
00:12:25.060
they're doing with their you know pla their military forces and how they're partnering and investing so
00:12:31.520
we need to have a complete relook and what happens here is what matters with our friends and allies
00:12:37.080
is are we steadfast allies are we showing leadership are we willing to commit are we willing to take
00:12:43.400
some risks are we good friends okay and the message from the biden administration is no we are not you
00:12:51.100
know we're undercutting not in yahoo we undercut allies in europe and in asia we're not doing what we need
00:12:57.720
to be doing yeah exactly and uh just uh one more minute before we go to break on the uh the strength
00:13:08.160
of the of the chinese economy they're doing all these things the belt and road initiatives uh they have a
00:13:14.720
bigger capital stock right they have a hundred trillion capital stock we only have 70 trillion
00:13:19.400
so that that is good news for future growth for them uh but they copy and steal everything they don't have
00:13:25.620
the innovation and technology uh and xi jipeng has been giving some stale speeches lately he gave the
00:13:31.400
one a year ago right we're going full-on marxist leninism uh we're not going to do any more economic
00:13:36.360
reforms and no more china culture right meaning buddhism etc it's full-on marxist leninism uh do you see
00:13:43.680
that philosophy from the top blinding them and and perhaps slowing them down more than the more more than
00:13:50.940
experts are saying right now well i don't see it slowing them down very much and they have been very
00:13:56.980
good at orchestrating and managing their economy and very good at influence and stealing things from
00:14:03.680
the united states and unfortunately our securities and exchange and our commerce department and our
00:14:09.140
our department of defense have not enforced the laws to prevent the transfer of technologies and
00:14:16.900
to undercut what china is doing here in the united states and going after our technology and our r&d
00:14:22.660
but also in their influence operations to influence state and local officials as well as federal
00:14:28.780
officials and their partnerships with american corporate elites and banking and investment elites
00:14:33.520
particularly venture capital has worked against us and to their advantage where we're financing the
00:14:39.540
growth of their military and their r&d in almost all of the state-of-the-art areas
00:14:44.220
yep colonel derrick harvey uh back with us uh on the war room after the break uh thanks for the uh tour
00:14:54.320
de force across the world we'll be back with a little uh more domestic view of the uh the america is

00:16:08.960
welcome back to the war room dave bratt sitting in with stephen k bannon and uh honored privileged to
00:16:21.340
have uh colonel derrick harvey uh in with us if you just heard the last segment i thought it was uh
00:16:27.220
stunning uh flow of information and so what we want to use uh the colonel's mind uh to explore what
00:16:35.680
to expect uh in the next administration all political views are my own uh but let's just
00:16:40.900
assume uh following rasmussen rasmussen polling uh this morning that trump is ahead uh by several
00:16:47.600
points still and wins the election uh last time uh president trump won i was in congress uh 14 to 18
00:16:56.240
and uh when i came in i i was simply stunned at the lack of strategy or planning uh or anything
00:17:06.020
right it was just wait if we win the senate then we'll do something if we win the white house we'll
00:17:10.080
do something we won all three we had all three uh speaker ryan uh was the speaker uh following boehner
00:17:18.900
uh and there was no plan we promised seven years uh to repeal obamacare we didn't even do that we
00:17:26.160
didn't even put that forward we did tax cuts uh which are going to be a more complicated story uh
00:17:31.920
likely going forward it's going to be more nuanced kind of in the jd vance style uh but
00:17:38.120
colonel harvey uh you know we we don't you know know what the future administration is going to look
00:17:46.280
like exactly but uh in retrospect uh what lessons have we learned right one thing we learned is
00:17:54.220
paul ryan had the steel dossier in 16 uh and the the uh the deep state the administrative state the
00:18:03.040
blob whatever you want to call it the washington post nuked uh president trump on day one before he
00:18:08.420
even took office uh and so how do we avoid uh these missteps put great talent in place uh colonel
00:18:16.260
harvey uh take it from there well you have to understand the you know the combat terrain you're
00:18:22.040
going to be on the political combat terrain and you have to get the diagnosis right and fortunately
00:18:27.240
the incoming administration if it's a trump team knows what it went through last time where
00:18:33.080
you faced a mcconnell that yeah was not on side you had a paul ryan who we came to learn was
00:18:40.300
actually working actively against the administration in so many ways and he has continued
00:18:44.620
to work against trump since he left you know the speakership um yeah in in government we learned
00:18:52.420
about the deep state and you know the white house suffered you know one or two uh leaks of classified
00:18:58.640
information every day for the first 180 days um and and that was from mostly career people that were
00:19:06.460
you know supporting the white house in different positions detailed by the ca and elsewhere and then
00:19:12.640
you know we turned over the the personnel effort to rance prebuss and the rnc um early on and so they
00:19:21.320
are the ones who put forward the names and got the approvals for people like you know secretary of
00:19:27.360
defense jim mattis who never supported the president's agenda was against what he was trying to do in
00:19:34.180
in israel in saudi arabia even opposed the trip to saudi arabia of all things in in may of 2017
00:19:41.440
um he was against moving out of the the pacific trade agreement and the climate accords um so you
00:19:49.240
can't be putting people in to run your departments and agencies like tillerson like mattis and some of
00:19:55.440
the others who are not on side and do not buy into the president's agenda um so that's part one part two
00:20:03.140
is understanding that getting control of doj fbi and the intelligence community is going to be
00:20:09.680
very important because we saw what happened with brennan and avril haynes and uh jim clapper
00:20:16.960
cooking up a false intelligence community assessment that suggested that putin wanted russia uh putin
00:20:26.880
wanted trump to win and they included that false um dossier in in the document because comey wanted it to
00:20:37.260
provide him some cover for what he was doing with crossfire hurricane and things there was an agenda
00:20:43.280
there they falsified documents they changed things we know this from a detailed analysis of everything
00:20:49.620
that went into that community assessment and it wasn't bought into by the others so you have to
00:20:54.820
understand where the threat's coming from you have to have good loyal people that are going to enforce
00:21:00.900
the law fairly across all political parties not just be partisan as we saw with with doj and and fbi under
00:21:10.940
comey and that means you know at the end of the day trump's going to need a close-knit group of people
00:21:17.600
that understand who these people really are what they have said what they have done more importantly
00:21:23.480
and what their commitments are to bringing on people because if they get to be secretary of state
00:21:29.640
they have tremendous say about everyone else that comes on board and so tillerson did not bring on people
00:21:37.160
that bought into the president's vision and you know the america first vision you know is a good one
00:21:44.740
and i know that the president understands this now he went through it he suffered through it
00:21:50.360
and the success of success of his administration was severely undermined because of the muller
00:21:57.160
investigation and the the fake uh you know impeachment trials and things like that now what are we
00:22:04.700
dealing with this time you were in congress we got mike turner who's head of the house intelligence
00:22:10.540
committee a republican who really has never got into the trenches to fight for our civil liberties
00:22:17.760
against fisa overreach fbi overreach or to hold these bureaucracies accountable you know and he's an
00:22:24.640
anti-trumper in my view and i worked for him i worked for devon nunez of course but i saw turner in action
00:22:30.900
every day um then you look at others you know in some of these committees um you know we've got real
00:22:38.080
divisions in the house of representatives and it's going to take real leadership and mike johnson getting on
00:22:45.300
board if we have a mandate okay in november in the senate we don't know what the leadership's going
00:22:51.980
to be but i expect it will be someone like soon who is not a committed america first person okay isn't
00:22:58.880
committed to defending american rights freedoms and liberties that are in the constitution and is more
00:23:05.780
comfortable with the administrative state unfortunately and so that's what we're going to be dealing with
00:23:11.040
yeah dakotas i hope you heard that uh from colonel derrick harvey the dakotas get in action there that
00:23:20.540
that if you know we got the receipts uh colonel harvey going back hit and rewind i i think you gave a few
00:23:28.660
receipts there about what the intelligence agencies uh cooked up in the books uh you made it uh sound like
00:23:35.400
it wasn't uh only unethical but illegal uh the the three letter agencies etc uh and for me you know
00:23:42.980
the war room is fast this uh assassination attempt i'm not going to draw any direct lines uh but this
00:23:49.360
election does seem existential uh stephen bannon is in jail right now peter navarro just got out of jail
00:23:55.780
president trump could be in jail right today if the judge had wanted it to be or any day uh coming up in
00:24:02.480
the next months uh so this is not anecdotal right this is uh the use of the justice department uh for
00:24:09.200
for just awful uh means in a constitutional republic uh and the same holds on the other side the other
00:24:15.980
side who created those uh documents uh it's existential for them uh and that that's why i brought up
00:24:23.300
but the extreme right logic of what could possibly be at play and so do you do you uh how would you
00:24:33.020
refer the war room to the receipts that are available to see uh with the illegality that took place uh back
00:24:40.660
uh in in in the you know 16 18 range uh with the steel dossier uh with the state department with the 51
00:24:49.720
intelligence officers etc uh where can folks go to confirm uh that first basic piece that the laws
00:24:57.680
were broken well i would say that you know the house intelligence committee produced public uh reports
00:25:04.800
on that i think the and those are accessible i think still online or you can you can dig them dig them
00:25:11.480
out i think the inspector general's reports that were completed on on uh you know doj malfeasance on
00:25:19.500
fisa and crossfire hurricane uh and the like are are important documents that provide a road map to a
00:25:26.420
lot of this i i think there's a number of other places there's been some great work by by lee smith
00:25:33.100
uh an author and commentator by um um just the news john solomon solomon some great reporting there
00:25:41.660
but let me give you an idea of what we face right we we yes committed under the house intelligence
00:25:47.920
committee 22 um criminal referrals to you know the department of justice and the fbi the response
00:25:55.720
what is what we see in in many cases they didn't do anything okay and what they did do is you know
00:26:03.800
they turned around and investigated the investigators and sought information from at&t and google and yahoo
00:26:10.560
about what we were what our background was what we were who we were calling who we had text messages
00:26:18.540
with they reversed it and started to investigate house in house intelligence staffers to get try and
00:26:26.100
get dirt on us in order to undercut and i don't know what they did against any of the congress
00:26:30.640
persons that were on our committee but that's how they played ball okay and they had no predicate
00:26:36.520
no underlying crime just like when they did the fisa warrants in 2016 for crossfire hurricane to go
00:26:43.680
after you know trump foreign policy advisors during the campaign they had no predicate they falsified
00:26:50.380
information they provided false information to the fisa court okay and no one was accountable for that
00:26:58.000
at the end of the day after the muller report and after the inspector general investigations and our
00:27:03.100
criminal referrals if you're on one side you get a free pass and it's just as much when you look at
00:27:09.580
china influence and other things there's breaking of the law there's influence peddling but if you see
00:27:16.680
who benefits okay and they're big donators then they may not get even a subpoena not even an open
00:27:25.060
investigation and if they're on another side they open up investigations on the flimsiest
00:27:31.340
of information like a a news release they plant a news story with the new york times and then they
00:27:40.840
refer to the news story as a reason to open an investigation right yep i know it well uh we've got
00:27:49.380
to bring it to an end it's not america it's not a republic uh colonel derrick harvey uh back after the
00:27:55.640
break stick with the war room uh please share this platform with your friends we want to have the
00:28:00.200
numbers even bigger when stephen k bannon returns i want to warn you of a huge change that could be
00:28:06.860
coming to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed
00:28:12.960
through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone
00:28:19.080
and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards editor of the independent
00:28:25.040
financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about
00:28:30.660
a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact
00:28:36.580
some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers
00:28:41.440
to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes
00:28:47.640
buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
00:28:53.820
i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim
00:29:00.640
rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes
00:29:06.240
is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money watch jim's warning
00:29:13.600
video now before it's censored like i've been in the past go to rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com
00:29:21.820
now to see the video war room here's your host stephen k bannon
00:29:27.880
dave bratt in the war room with stephen k bannon uh honored to have colonel derrick harvey uh with just
00:29:39.000
sweeping analysis uh of the world we live in and uh uh unfortunately of the political world we now
00:29:46.500
live in uh i i brought the uh colonel to an abrupt end as he was surveying some of the intelligence
00:29:53.100
problems we have in the country right now so uh colonel uh bring us up to date i think you had an
00:29:58.140
example of some intelligence uh failings in the united states of america so on the intelligence
00:30:05.140
community assessment that concluded that putin wanted trump to win the 2016 election
00:30:12.100
the we went through the document and looked at every source in that citation to see where the
00:30:20.000
information was coming from and whether it was credible or not and what we discovered at the end
00:30:24.800
of the day is there were only three fragmentary pieces of information that alluded to putin in
00:30:30.780
somewhere or another maybe being in faith maybe being in favor of of trump and all three of those
00:30:39.320
fragmentary reports were not put out in official reporting because they were from sources that had
00:30:46.060
no reporting background no reliability and much of the information that had been provided by those
00:30:52.640
subsources had been untrue in the past and so what they did is they integrated those and blended them
00:30:59.800
with a higher quality source to give the impression that they were reliable reporting this was a total
00:31:06.060
fabrication and this is what the intelligence community has done on issues like this okay and
00:31:12.200
it's dangerous it's manipulation and it should be criminal
00:31:15.160
yeah no it's stunning you know i was in congress people think if you're in congress you have a megaphone
00:31:23.520
you can get your word out you cannot right the the media uh from the top down uh is lopsided and
00:31:30.620
one-sided uh are there any heroes on our side who who who have brought attention to this fabrication
00:31:38.040
i mean this is this is a coup of of a sitting president united states all these agencies supposedly work for
00:31:44.860
him uh and they're not working for him right there's a great book out by i think gibbons uh called
00:31:49.760
national security the double government and us madisonians have been gravely naive uh in thinking
00:31:56.680
that there's a separation of powers uh and so are there how do we get uh the word out uh who should
00:32:03.480
be getting the word out and uh who can you point people to to give us a little hope here well i would
00:32:09.520
point to people like you know john radcliffe and devon nunez and you know most of the team in the freedom
00:32:15.820
caucus for example and and there are there are dozens of others that have not joined the freedom
00:32:20.700
caucus as you know but are more or less aligned with them but you know there's that middle herd in
00:32:26.700
the republican party that you know yeah yeah are are leaning to the benefits and follow the speaker's
00:32:34.160
direction and and that's what they do they're they're a little bit cowed from the idea of joining the
00:32:39.740
freedom caucus that said the movie plot against the president is still very good and very accurate
00:32:45.300
i want to just add one other thing about what they did on that intelligence community assessment
00:32:50.340
we also looked at all of the reporting that was available to them that small team handpicked by
00:32:56.260
by john brennan all of the intelligence that was available to them that they decided to put on the
00:33:02.300
cutting room floor and what we found there was information that if you included it would lead you to a
00:33:09.760
conclusion 180 degrees from what they concluded in actuality the moscow regime was more comfortable
00:33:17.840
with the reset with secretary clinton with hillary clinton because they knew her and they knew how to
00:33:24.160
manipulate her they were comfortable with her and they saw lots of indicators about trump that they were not
00:33:31.680
sure about okay and they weren't they couldn't put them in a box they weren't comfortable with him and
00:33:36.640
therefore they were leaning towards hillary clinton they never really thought at all that trump was their guy
00:33:45.600
yep absolutely stunning it's depressing i grew up naive in the midwest they called us minnesota nice
00:33:56.640
uh now uh it's time for the judeo-christian west to rise up and start fighting the fight and holding
00:34:04.000
these congressmen and senators the senate by the way we're giving a hard time to the congress senate's
00:34:08.880
even worse uh they pick one issue to fight for like you know changing the post office name in six years
00:34:14.680
and that's all they do they don't do anything and so uh colonel derrick harvey uh you're a national
00:34:20.060
treasurer we just thank you so much for being on this show uh everybody loves uh when you come on this
00:34:26.660
time i thought was particularly striking uh rich and deep analysis and so god bless you brother and
00:34:32.860
thanks for being on the war room thank you take care god bless you bet you bet all right uh you just
00:34:40.860
heard what we're facing uh to put it mildly turbulent times uh may not even be strong enough right so what
00:34:47.740
we refer you to our friends at birch gold gold just hit a historic high twenty five hundred dollars an
00:34:53.100
ounce uh and so consult uh birch gold uh steve bannon's written uh several articles for them with them
00:35:00.520
they'll answer your phone calls uh tell you about the place of gold uh in your portfolio
00:35:05.560
uh the rest of the world is buying gold right so what do they know right it's at a high that's why
00:35:14.700
we don't give investment advice on timing etc it depends on uh your age uh your retirement uh
00:35:22.020
trajectory etc so call birch gold and ask them what's right for you but traditionally
00:35:26.440
gold's been a good hedge against a risky world uh so uh with that we're going to move uh from
00:35:33.440
colonel derrick harvey uh to another friend of the war room uh dr bradley thayer uh the china expert i i
00:35:40.900
think he's been listening in uh to derrick harvey and uh we had colonel john mills on a few weeks ago
00:35:48.140
i thought you know i asked him to do a review of the four hot spots you know that immediately come to
00:35:54.040
mind you know with thailand and ukraine etc uh but he gave me 14 hot spots and he did it by region he
00:36:00.820
said uh over in the caribbean south america uh then over in asia and then over in europe and in the
00:36:08.540
middle east all of them brought to you by china uh so uh bradley thayer uh why don't you uh let me know
00:36:16.520
if you agree with mills analysis is china really behind most all of these hot spots and if so can you
00:36:22.500
please explain how thank you for being with us uh bradley thayer hi dave great to join you i i think
00:36:29.140
john mills colonel john mills is right that china's uh behind it it's as reagan said of the soviet the
00:36:35.380
communist party of the soviet union that they're the center of evil in the modern world so too the
00:36:40.220
chinese communist party is it's uh their resources it's their wealth it's their military capabilities
00:36:47.460
it's their uh political warfare strength uh which is uh responsible for igniting and sustaining a lot
00:36:56.700
of these conflicts whether it's their support for russia which is of direct uh relevance for the war
00:37:02.500
uh in ukraine or of iran it's their expansion uh the prc's expansion for into africa into south america into
00:37:12.560
uh the middle east of course southeast asia uh which is helping to drive it and the point fundamentally
00:37:19.480
dave is to uh undermine the united states and our interest it's the fundamental uh point is to
00:37:25.920
overthrow uh the united states and that's what we need uh to recognize so reagan's great insight was that
00:37:34.800
it was the soviet union that was the problem and within the soviet union the communist party
00:37:40.160
so too we have to recognize it's the chinese communist party which is uh driving it uh which
00:37:47.360
is driving all of these fires if you will these um significant fires uh around the world so our efforts
00:37:54.800
have to be focused on uh the chinese communist party uh and um uh evicting it from power as reagan
00:38:03.120
destroyed in conjunction with pope john paul ii margaret thatcher of course and many other great people
00:38:09.760
people of goodwill around the world so too we need to focus our energies on the ccp with people of
00:38:15.600
goodwill around the world the chinese people uh as well as our friends uh and allies uh to uh to bring
00:38:24.400
their tyranny to an end because they are an illegitimate government because they're communists
00:38:29.360
right the communists by definition of illegitimate are illegitimate wherever uh they're in power they
00:38:36.080
don't seek any mandate from the people they seize power and rule through uh tyrannical uh methods when
00:38:44.640
we recognize that of course uh the united states should have nothing to do with them all right we
00:38:50.320
should work uh very hard uh to evict them uh from the uh international order they don't rule in the chinese
00:38:57.840
people name they never ask the chinese people whether they want whether they've given any uh consent and
00:39:04.000
we should not treat them as the legitimate government of china because they're not the
00:39:08.720
legitimate government of china right right uh i asked uh colonel derrick harvey the same question he
00:39:17.200
said to come back to you uh i'm seeing a lot of negative news on the uh the economy and the strength
00:39:25.040
of china i'm also seeing positive news about how intelligent they are with a long-range plan with these
00:39:31.840
bricks and a slow steady drip drip drip of picking up countries while we're losing countries uh but a
00:39:39.040
lot of it does seem to depend on the the strength of the chinese economy uh the belt and road requires
00:39:46.160
billions and billions per country right a billion per country sometimes uh across africa across asia
00:39:53.840
uh the blue water navy is billions uh their economy is fading uh from what we can tell i don't know
00:40:02.320
how bad it's fading but what's your take on their relative strength right now uh and going forward in
00:40:08.720
the next you know five to ten years well dave their relative strength is in in decline uh that is that
00:40:16.000
their economy has stalled uh and this is the time to put pressure on them because of the illegitimacy of
00:40:23.280
the regime really can be targeted uh at this time the bad news is of course that they've grown so
00:40:31.040
rapidly and so quickly and they've converted that wealth into military might into diplomatic power
00:40:36.960
into technology uh all of the problems that we see and so they're riding that wave if you will to use
00:40:44.560
against us so what we need to do is cut off any investment uh with china cut off trade uh with china
00:40:52.800
invest elsewhere invest in the united states rather than investing in china and recognize this is an
00:41:00.000
acutely dangerous time because xi jinping is a hyper-aggressive leader uh and he's one with an
00:41:07.200
economy which is uh more abundant which is in decline and that makes him even more dangerous so we need to
00:41:15.040
anticipate that the communist regime in china is going to be a very aggressive as they already are against
00:41:22.640
the philippines against taiwan and against america right now uh we've got some folks who are saying
00:41:30.240
that um they're not at war with us but in fact they're at war with us and every measure short of
00:41:36.160
kinetic war we're not shooting at each other just as we didn't shoot with the soviets at the soviets
00:41:41.760
during the cold war but the chinese are working as hard as they can to undermine us to kill americans
00:41:48.640
today whether through fentanyl whether through dispiriting americans by eroding our sovereignty
00:41:55.120
within the uh obviously within the united states through their operations through the many many
00:42:02.000
tens of thousands nobody really knows how many uh chinese individuals have come in to the united
00:42:09.680
states through the southern border and and through other avenues many of these individuals certainly are
00:42:15.760
going to be covert agents right they're going to be working for mss or they're going to be what their
00:42:20.400
pla uh uh soldiers uh and so it's a very dangerous situation uh that we face they're at war with us
00:42:28.800
today they have been famously they declared people's war in 2019 against the united states and in the
00:42:37.360
communist idiom that means something right that means that they're targeting the united states for
00:42:42.560
destruction and xi jinping was calling on the chinese people as well as ordering the party uh to
00:42:50.160
expedite uh measures uh towards the destruction of the united states so we're not shooting at each
00:42:56.080
other uh and we the whole point is to deter that but they're at war with us and it's time that we
00:43:01.760
respond accordingly yeah bradley thayer i'm going to come back uh on that point uh i had uh douglas mcgregor
00:43:11.440
on colonel douglas mcgregor on uh i'll try to frame his point of view as is accurately as possible right
00:43:17.920
after the break and then i'd like your uh response uh to that back with bradley thayer debt you go to
00:43:25.200
bed thinking about it you wake up thinking about it here's the truth the system traps you in debt
00:43:30.560
high interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt an insane inflation
00:43:36.800
keeps you stuck paycheck to paycheck done with debt is your lifeline done with debt has an ingenious
00:43:44.960
new strategy to help you erase your debt faster and easier than you thought possible done with
00:43:50.240
debt analyzes all the debt options you qualify for they know how to reduce bills they know how to cut
00:43:57.040
interest rates their skilled staff of negotiators know how to get debt out of your life permanently
00:44:03.440
without bankruptcy and without alone done with debt are the experts and brilliant strategies for
00:44:09.360
eliminating debt but you need to hurry because some debt solutions are time sensitive here's how
00:44:15.520
easy they make it go to done with debt.com that's done with debt.com done with debt.com and immerse
00:44:22.800
yourself in information today government gangsters are the group of individuals career bureaucrats who have
00:44:31.280
been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the united states
00:44:37.280
government had donald trump not won in 2016 he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and
00:44:43.040
their weapon of choice the two-tier system of justice from russiagate hunter biden's laptop to joe biden's
00:44:48.320
classified documents case to january 6 to the 51 intel letter and everything in between we would never have
00:44:53.760
learned that these people are dangerous and vindictive learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to
00:44:59.440
hide their corruption it is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation
00:45:13.440
back in the war room with stephen k bannon dave bratt uh sitting in the house uh prayers go out
00:45:32.800
to uh stephen k bannon uh uh please write uh in your newspapers on his behalf he's a political prisoner
00:45:40.880
peter navarro uh just out of jail president trump could have been in jail the whole time uh these
00:45:48.240
are shocking times we live in uh thank god for the war room posse right is uh stephen k bannon says uh
00:45:55.280
president trump puts you gives you access to the room he's in the room with you same with stephen k bannon
00:46:02.160
he puts you in the room uh lets you see what's coming our way uh better than anybody else i know of so
00:46:09.120
honored to be in the war room uh always with stephen k bannon and uh so we have uh bradley thayer uh with
00:46:18.640
us and uh we've been uh surveying uh china and the strengths and weaknesses uh and uh bradley why don't
00:46:28.400
you just continue i i had to cut you off the point you were making uh and then we'll follow up and uh close
00:46:34.000
out oh sure dave happy to so uh some we have arguments in the united states that uh china is
00:46:41.280
not uh a threat to the united states uh which is that arguments made in in different guises it's made
00:46:48.400
in some think tanks it's made uh in obviously by some journals and on wall street uh for example uh and
00:46:57.040
that argument is is just wrong you can look at the three different elements here that are going to be
00:47:02.960
directly relevant the leader of china xi jinping is models his rule on mao zedong right the tyrannical
00:47:11.280
rule ruler of china who kills scores of millions of chinese people and he modeled mao modeled himself
00:47:17.360
on stalin so indirectly xi is modeling himself on stalin secondly they're communists communists destroy
00:47:25.840
economies they destroy people they destroy every aspect of human life uh and so um and they also
00:47:33.760
do that aggressively uh so the ideology is one which lends to a hyper aggressiveness thirdly yeah let me
00:47:42.480
ask you on yeah yeah go ahead with number three and i'll come back they've got the capabilities now
00:47:48.640
right the distribution of power right china has grown so much in the last uh a generation
00:47:56.480
in no small measure because we funded them right we've allowed that we let them into our economic
00:48:00.960
ecosystem and uh as jim finnell and i argue in our book embracing communist china america's greatest
00:48:07.200
strategic failure their economy went from about uh 0.6 of one percent uh to about 20 percent of one
00:48:15.520
percent in 30 years of a world gross domestic product in about 30 years that's tremendous growth
00:48:21.680
and with that has come power military power so xi jinping the communist party and they have the
00:48:28.640
capabilities now right let me uh let me give you the counterpoint to that i had douglas mcgregor
00:48:35.840
on i watch him a lot on youtube and it's some of the uh counter voice he said that china
00:48:41.280
uh is not at war with us right now doesn't doesn't want to go to war with us right now so you know i'll
00:48:50.560
just read kinetic right just say connecticut and you said they now have the capacity uh and the will
00:48:57.040
and the intent which i i agree with uh but let's just uh tease this out a bit uh if they do uh go for
00:49:05.840
taiwan right now the u.s cannot allow that to happen just on the chips front alone not to mention
00:49:11.840
the major trade seaway uh piece that has been in place uh since breton woods at the end of world war
00:49:18.880
ii uh and so the main problem xi's got is feeding 1.4 billion people if he goes to war he can go to war
00:49:28.320
but i i mean i think it would be tens of millions of chinese uh is starvation uh and worse uh and so
00:49:37.040
if you add that into your calculation does that change your mind at all that they don't want to
00:49:41.920
war quite yet uh because they they don't have it all built out and ready to roll yet to dominate and
00:49:48.960
to win uh without sacrificing they're giving up their whole economy right they when the rest of the
00:49:54.480
world sees that they'll be horrified the whole world will take out all capital will come to an
00:50:00.080
end the next day uh and so how does that affect your calculations on the war probabilities well i
00:50:07.680
certainly understand the argument david it's made uh a time and again uh that in essence they can't
00:50:13.600
afford to go to war that's the argument right uh that that argument's wrong and it's wrong because
00:50:19.920
you can't mirror image right you can't take our values and apply it to the communist party of china
00:50:25.840
you have to think like a communist you have to think like a chinese communist leader and that is
00:50:31.360
people are expendable for the chinese communist party they don't care about the chinese people
00:50:36.880
they care about themselves communist rule uh in in china so they're quite willing to incur sacrifices
00:50:44.560
because those sacrifices are going to be borne by the chinese people again uh dave mao zedong starved
00:50:52.560
to death about 40 million people according to frank dick carter 40 to 42 million people in about
00:50:59.120
just over three years from 1959 to about 1961 40 million people starved in an intentional famine
00:51:08.080
uh so this is not a regime uh that uh cares or that where the human cost just doesn't figure into
00:51:16.560
their calculus you've got to recognize the you have to think like a communist right they're hyper
00:51:21.520
aggressive yeah and they're determined to bring about through war and they're again this is the key
00:51:27.920
point dave they're at war with us now yeah in political warfare it's just not kinetic it could become
00:51:35.520
kinetic over the philippines over taiwan or other issues and it could happen today uh in terms of
00:51:43.760
it but they are determined to destroy us yep yep bradley thayer i agree with you uh stephen k bannon agrees
00:51:52.080
with you we always go back to the 1999 unrestricted warfare uh everybody at home should go download that
00:52:00.240
it's only 80 or 90 pages uh your stomach will be upset because of the logic bradley thayer just laid
00:52:07.120
out when you read the two chinese colonels that have subsequently become generals your stomach will
00:52:12.960
roll when you learn what unrestricted means it means godless soulless ambition and and death and so
