Transcript
00:00:00.000
of the worst cyber attacks in american history but industry sources tell nbc news that the majority
00:00:06.320
of people whose phones and their metadata was breached have not been notified and as of now
00:00:12.000
there are no there's no indication that there are plans to according to the white house china's salt
00:00:17.520
typhoon hack has now been underweight for upwards of two years hitting at least eight of the major
00:00:23.920
u.s telecommunications providers officials say only a few prominent individuals have been
00:00:30.080
specifically targeted and that no classified communications are believed to have been
00:00:35.920
accessed but they are still warning all americans to only use encryption if you don't want hackers
00:00:42.560
reading your texts or listening to your calls joining us now former director of the cyber
00:00:48.480
security and infrastructure security agency and chief intelligence officer of sentinel one
00:00:53.920
chris krebs all right chris a chinese hack that we have now been the victims of for more than two
00:01:02.480
years how does that happen and how do we not know well i think the reality is is the chinese ministry
00:01:10.640
of state security who is allegedly behind this activity this attack is good you know they are
00:01:17.280
very sophisticated they are very capable they're very patient they're very quiet and they've been
00:01:24.320
probing at all number of infrastructures here in the u.s and elsewhere and they've obviously had a
00:01:31.040
great deal of success getting into various uh telecommunications providers i think what's really
00:01:37.840
this well the situation here is that we have a bunch of systems that are a mix of modern technology and
00:01:45.280
hybrid you know legacy technology and and as i understand it they just were able to pick off some
00:01:51.520
vulnerable edge devices just sitting at the edge of the public internet and the enterprise and they're
00:01:56.880
able to just walk right through and uh and get into uh the the telecommunications providers
00:02:02.240
what do they want with that sort of access well that's a great question because this is about espionage
00:02:08.240
right we've talked before about how the chinese military is pre-positioning for uh effect in our
00:02:15.920
civilian critical infrastructure as well as our military critical infrastructure the point there is
00:02:20.480
destruction the point here again with chinese spies with their intelligence services is intelligence
0.98
00:02:27.600
collection they want to know what the state department's thinking what the white house is thinking
00:02:32.320
they want to know what the incoming trump administration is thinking they want to be able to map out who's who in
00:02:37.280
the zoo so that they can run their own patterns of life and figure out if anyone's talking to chinese
0.99
00:02:43.760
officials chinese reporters chinese dissidents so it's a very large catch everything and look for
00:02:51.600
sensitive important information across the data sets it's scary when you say not only can they now
00:02:56.960
disrupt our systems they've been able to hack into our grids and whatnot but then they can also uh surveil
00:03:02.880
all of us when you couple those two things together that sounds pretty bad katie i feel like you're trying
00:03:09.200
to trigger me here you've heard me talk about this before china is preparing for war they are preparing
00:03:15.200
for war they are in our critical infrastructure and our ports and our water systems and our grids and our
00:03:20.240
military systems are we taking it as seriously as they seem to be and i think in some cases i think the answer
00:03:28.480
is no but we have to up our game the window of vulnerability is 2027 2032 where china has uh
0.99
00:03:36.960
designs to go into taiwan don't know if it's going to happen or not but they're planning for it we have
00:03:41.600
to take them seriously take them at their word and prepare the same does that change with the new
00:03:46.880
administration you have any idea why donald trump might be inviting uh president xi to the inauguration as
00:03:52.800
has been reported i can't speak to that but if you go and unpack project 2025 if you read the
00:03:59.760
intelligence community chapter if you read the department of defense chapter they see china as
00:04:05.680
the pacing threat as the preeminent threat and if you look at the nominations between marco rubio for
00:04:12.080
state department mike waltz is the national security advisor and a host of others they have china hawks
00:04:17.680
so there's going to be a significant pivot to china there's going to be a reliance upon our allies in
00:04:24.080
the indo-pacific region including japan australia and india to push back and contain china particularly
0.92
00:04:32.160
when it comes to taiwan they're preparing for war which is not on my bingo card at least for any of my
00:04:38.080
guests this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval
00:04:49.600
on these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have had
00:04:56.480
a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything in the world
00:05:00.400
to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people like that go
00:05:04.560
to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people had a conscience
00:05:13.360
ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my country
00:05:20.240
this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:05:26.640
it's friday 13 december december 2024 man had dinner in november it's all kind of blending together
00:05:42.080
just kidding um but thank you for joining us late on a friday afternoon early on a friday evening
00:05:51.360
in december of course the days are getting shorter i don't know is that going to exist if we do we take
00:05:56.000
daily savings time i'm kind of uh i don't have a dog in that fight at least not yet i haven't thought
00:06:02.880
that one through got a couple three other things to uh to think about i want to get to the house
00:06:09.280
freedom caucus a lot going on house freedom caucus we can pull that up um house freedom caucus on
00:06:14.800
uh has backed our play here in the war room came out a little while ago and with the letter and said
00:06:21.600
they took a vote and that they totally oppose this putting together the two um the two reconciliations
00:06:28.560
you have to have remember the one for the border starting the 20th boom drop it on president trump's
00:06:32.960
desk then come back later for the uh in march or april may whenever you work out the taxes
00:06:38.240
taxes through the taxes and the financial one uh at that time i want to uh the open was very
00:06:46.480
specific i want to thank katie turr and the team over there for having krebs that was the reason that
00:06:52.080
jumps off the page you krebs is one of the few officials that kind of come out and tell you exactly
00:06:56.480
what it is there's been a lot of very highly classified but now some starting to leak out and
00:07:02.240
come out in a non-classified manner of this topic uh that the chinese communist party has infiltrated
00:07:11.280
and put into infrastructure not just the electrical grid but everything trains roads cyber attacks all
00:07:18.640
of it into our infrastructure and when the balloon goes up they can literally cripple the united states
00:07:25.200
and i know people don't want to address this but like i said the dispositive question
00:07:29.200
for all of us we're dealing with national security and let's go back to the ndaa is the great
00:07:36.960
question of the 20th century 21st century is that who actually wins this this great geopolitical
00:07:42.880
struggle the chinese communist party or the american republic that's it everything that you do
0.97
00:07:49.040
must be towards an answer for us to win and them to lose we win they lose like president trump
00:07:55.680
told richard v allen and i i think that number one or most importantly this the imperial capital
00:08:08.080
doesn't quite understand that because so many people have been bought off wall street's been bought off
00:08:16.480
president trump cut that deal the first deal remember we had the huge deal with light heisen that deal
00:08:20.800
would have solved everything and the chinese communist party walked away from it now there's a couple of
00:08:29.600
issues about walking away that was the one that took care of all the state-owned industries the
00:08:32.640
overcapacity lightheiser and and um navarro worked on that deal worked on that deal for two years
00:08:41.920
essentially in may of uh i think it was 2019 the chinese communist walked away to them number one
0.92
00:08:50.560
they say hey all the chinese used that for it was to drive up the stock market and then they shorted
1.00
00:08:55.600
and then they took their profit shorted everything and then put that out other was that they just had
00:09:00.480
the one belt and one road first big strategic conference of which putin came to and after that one
00:09:07.200
she shan and she sat down with hill with uh le who was the chief negotiator and said why have we agreed
00:09:14.320
to all this we don't want to do this because this would get us to be we would be subsumed in the uh
00:09:19.600
in the western economy and have to do all the reporting everything we don't want to do that
00:09:25.280
the chinese communist party i will get into this deeper tomorrow cleo pascal is going to come back
00:09:30.720
and join me and colonel grant newsham he of the book when china uh when china attacks not when not if
00:09:38.400
not why not how but when that we are already in a war with the chinese communist party they're at war
00:09:46.400
with us unrestricted warfare to wit they they've they've gone after the you just heard this about
00:09:53.600
about the hacking of the uh the hacking of the um the telecoms nobody really wants to talk about it
00:10:00.800
but they took you know millions of people's information i would kind of think that was
00:10:06.240
maybe an act of war i don't know then you had krebs right there say the quiet part out loud well
00:10:13.040
everybody knows they're all in the the infrastructure not just the electrical grid which they're all over
00:10:17.760
they are everywhere in every part of the in every part of our infrastructure including roads railroads
00:10:24.800
highways the uh the um flight systems to keep our planes up all of it now a lot of this is highly
00:10:34.880
classified so it can't be discussed but people like krebs and others are saying they're putting up a
00:10:39.360
warning flare right now this is this is this is done and people say well steve i mean my head hits
00:10:45.600
or my head hurts so much with ukraine and with syria and with i said hey those are not our fights this is
00:10:52.960
the problem the fight we have in in the security is on the southern border and the chinese communist
0.99
00:10:58.800
party is running the tables on this we've had one million newstrom was here the other day one million
00:11:03.760
when you add them all up one million casualties i mean kia's killed in action on fentanyl
00:11:11.440
it's a short country and why does it keep coming because nobody's really done anything about president
00:11:16.880
trump attempted to in his first time probably got farthest down the road biden these guys just kind
00:11:21.360
of shined it on the chinese communist party is going to continue to do this with the partners of
00:11:26.000
cartels i would strongly recommend to president trump either through dia or cia you pick it pick them
00:11:33.840
but there's there ought to be there ought to be interdictions inside of mexico put mexi on notice
00:11:41.280
put the president of mexico on notice who's i don't know mentored by the previous guy who has
00:11:47.520
a reputation of being in business with the cartels owned by the cartels i'd also talk about the seven
00:11:52.960
families that control mexico and i'd start seizing assets seize assets the cartels here in the united
00:12:02.160
states seize the cart seize the assets of the big families in mexico yep declare war on the cartels
00:12:10.320
identify them as terrorist organizations and do interdictions either going to stop it you're not
00:12:16.320
going to stop it they're killing what 50 or 75 000 people a year they're not going to stop one it's
00:12:22.800
highly probable two they're killing you and you're not doing anything about it so why should they stop
00:12:26.800
you're destroying rural american you're destroying the inner cities you're destroying the the working
0.99
00:12:32.160
of of every ethnicity and and uh and color and religion
00:12:41.920
krebs just told you right there hey they're at war with us there's crap they're at war with us he's

00:13:14.560
communist party the overseas group that works for the ministry of state security they believe they're
00:13:19.040

00:16:23.600
talk about this before china is preparing for war they are preparing for war they are in our critical
0.76
00:16:29.680
infrastructure and our ports and our water systems and our grids and our military systems
00:16:35.200
are we taking it as seriously as they seem to be and i think in some cases i think the answer is no
00:16:42.320
but we have to up our game the window of vulnerability is 2027 2032 where china has
1.00
00:16:49.920
designs to go into taiwan don't know if it's going to happen or not but they're planning for it
00:16:54.160
we have to take them seriously take them at their word and prepare
00:16:59.920
2027 2032 that five-year window could happen actually sooner than that but even that's on
00:17:06.480
president trump's watch so we gotta get serious about this they're at war with us the engine room
00:17:12.800
notifies me as i remember creps is the guy that um said that the the 2020 election is the most secure
00:17:21.280
in history i think he was a cyber guy over dhs note to self-brother creps right there you talk
00:17:26.800
about military systems grid systems water systems one thing you left out voting systems oh no you can't
00:17:35.520
do that steve that's impossible you're a conspiracy theory guy you're a conspiracy theory you're
00:17:47.200
hey i'm not a machine guy but i'm just saying it's kind of odd when the guy in charge of the
00:17:52.720
cyber who says the most secure election in the history of the nation is now out he sounds like he
00:17:58.080
wants to join the committee committee on the present danger china sounds crazier than uh than frank gaffney
00:18:06.320
or miles guo and the guys over the new federal state of china this sounds straight out of their
00:18:16.640
hey i'm all down with creps now the the great awakening i agree with you and i think a lot of
00:18:22.080
people in this city a lot of people in the imperial capital that deal with this every day say
00:18:25.920
they want to get this word out there they don't think the american people are waiting i said well hang
00:18:29.920
on what do you mean hey let the american people how about the guys up here in capitol hill look at
00:18:34.720
it all the time this town is very sleepy about this it's it's just it's very basic it's very simple
00:18:42.400
whether at war or not they're trying to drag us this is the three lines of work of trump that's
00:18:48.720
converging into a nightmare the war the debt in the invasion the war the debt in the invasion i would
00:18:56.960
call it a border but it's not a border the war the debt in the invasion and everything that biden's
00:19:02.160
doing is is is taking us down a primrose path to basically take the world of particularly politics
00:19:09.520
or a great nation you want to have a range of alternatives so that you can do all kind of
00:19:14.720
different things and maybe pivot and do this what's happening is our alternatives are narrowing
00:19:20.080
narrow narrow narrow narrow guess what don't have a lot of alternatives and all of them are bad
00:19:28.160
that's what we're trying to avoid when we talk about critical path and actually
00:19:31.040
process and you look through event horizon what's my event horizon
00:19:40.080
well right now biden it is another 50 billion 20 billion 50 billion who knows they never straightforward
00:19:47.600
so you can't understand what they're talking about all i know is we shovel in a quarter of a trillion
00:19:53.440
dollars that would to be 250 billion over to the charnel house of ukraine and here right here
00:20:00.560
nato finally got no donald trump's a demon donald trump's gonna destroy nato donald trump's the
00:20:05.200
worst guy in the world all they sit up here the atlanta says oh my gosh little admiral stavridis
00:20:09.760
the hand puppet they're terrible donald trump you know but they get the knitted brow
00:20:14.320
gotta have the knitted brow because you're thinking you know why you gotta have the knitted brow
00:20:17.840
because they're thinking great thoughts and these are great men they're great men
00:20:23.600
they're men of affairs they're they're they're they're they're they're handling
00:20:30.800
the affairs of state they're great men and they think and great men think great thoughts
00:20:38.240
and of course great men to think great thoughts want to have those thoughts out there and they
00:20:42.400
want to discuss them and they want action on them so they got us all wrapped around the axle up in
00:20:47.120
ukraine in the eurasian landmass we've got no business being in and more importantly no business and no
1.00
00:20:52.880
interest i don't care folks in this country don't care some elites that hate russia for you know the
00:21:03.520
same guys would be loving up on the bolsheviks the same crew the same crowd the exact same crowd
00:21:11.520
that mccarthy called out and the fifth be loving up on some bolsheviks
1.00
00:21:14.880
be arming stalin way past the time to arming the same crowd the soul is out of yalta the fdr wasn't
00:21:23.120
totally with the program i don't know why it'd only been around 20 years
00:21:28.240
that same crowd they hate right they hate the russians they know why is that
00:21:38.000
people that sold us out gave secrets away and had all kind of you know nefarious activity with
00:21:44.720
the kgb i have stone in these guys he's a kgb agent over the nation magazine oh you can't say
00:21:51.600
that say well i don't say it the kgb records say it why why why you know why why the same folks
00:21:59.680

00:22:07.680
people in the ukraine knew all of it knew the camps knew all of it why why are those the people that
00:22:14.640
in hollywood man oh man oh man those progressives out there couldn't get in the home man come on
00:22:22.480
today they're the ones that are most anti-russian how does that work
00:22:25.440
how does that work let me think curious minds want to know why is that you got us up there in
00:22:36.080

00:22:49.920
river you think you got to donald trump's got a tough negotiation now wait till you get with
00:22:53.680
the way they take 40 of ukraine they have a tendency just to make an observation they have
00:22:59.840
a tendency where their tanks go they have a tendency not to put them in reverse
00:23:06.400
until you make them put them in reverse like president reagan had taken down the evil empire
00:23:12.960
with focus and commitment in a multi-level multi-tiered multi-process war against them
00:23:20.480
now they got us now that you now that you got man you got a 101st right there in romania
00:23:28.240
with a brigade right there ready to jump in ukraine any moment probably already going to i'm not saying
00:23:32.880
but may have already slipped over there a couple three times you got american technicians over there
00:23:37.600

would ben burquam and oscar blue ramirez and we now know they're trying to do a jammed reconciliation
00:31:36.640
now the good news is i think we put the alarm up we sent the flare up we sent a flare up today
00:31:45.840
everywhere from mar-a-lago from southern florida all the way up to the imperial capital games are being
00:31:51.920
played president trump comes to come in and wants to roll and wants to roll in hard and what they're
00:31:58.000
trying to do is slow it down to hide taxes taxes i'll tell you right now this tax this tax fight
00:32:08.160
gonna be plenty ugly plenty ugly but you know what this is what has to happen and this is about elon
00:32:16.160

00:32:20.480
rolling hard he's got some people around him are pretty tough hombres and the full state power they're
00:32:26.160
going to try to give him a love tap on the way out as a signal to everybody else as a signal to sergi
00:32:32.720
and uh and and facebook you know zuckerberg and uh bezos all of them just coming in supplicants
00:32:40.160
of their little million dollar checks is to checks to the inauguration committee so they get good seating
00:32:44.800
they get inside the rope um it's a it's a it's a love tap to let the administrative and deep state
00:32:54.400
just wants to send a signal hey we don't care you're the richest guy in the world we don't
00:32:57.440
care you wrote trump a big check we don't care that you focused on what was important to throw
00:33:01.840
us out of office we care that our long arm can come out and reach you it's not going to stop
00:33:08.080
until it stops do you expect me to believe that whatever was this issue with twitter if he had been
00:33:16.400
all in for kamala harris these guys this would ever come up this is 100 because he backed mega and
00:33:22.960
backed and backed trump and the reconciliation you have to break into do not do not take president
00:33:32.560
trump's uh ability to get some momentum the house last time ryan and these guys sat there and pounded
00:33:39.440
the table we got to get rid of obamacare you know a big we got it we get we've done it we've passed 40
00:33:44.320
bills etc that was the most humiliating thing i've ever seen they had no idea what they were doing none
00:33:49.360
zero you cannot trust republican leadership in the house or the senate it's a bunch of goofballs
00:33:57.120
to be brutally frank about it so you can't turn over the second trump term hey we got to hit it
00:34:05.280
every day you got to come out president trump it was the immigration the border and groceries
00:34:10.240
well those that goes back to sealing the border starting the mass deportations working out deals
00:34:16.880
with people boom 100 executive orders and some money some cash money to actually do some things
00:34:23.760
that pass on reconciliation and he signs on the 20th of january and then boom it looks like we're
00:34:29.120
getting something done because we are getting something done you can't sit there and go uh uh uh uh uh
00:34:35.040
i'm not gonna do i'm gonna sign some executive orders do some other things but not gonna do money
00:34:39.200
not gonna do because i didn't use reconciliation because i gotta wait till i don't know march april
00:34:43.200
or may because i can get my tax deal done of course people want the taxes want the re-initiation of the
00:34:52.640
of the uh trump tax cuts certainly that wants to happen but hold on
00:34:58.480
we ain't the same country that we have i don't know six seven eight trillion dollars of debt it's
00:35:06.400
not just the debt you got on it's the velocity of what you're adding we're adding a trillion dollars
00:35:12.240
every hundred days i know it sounds insane but that's the math so you're very different than you were
00:35:20.240
eight years ago and we worked through and and and and did the tax deal of 17 or seven years ago soon
00:35:28.720
to be eight you just started the balance sheet's totally different remember the tax cuts when they
00:35:34.240
don't they take a while to kick you know to kick in for the growth it just it's a gap
00:35:39.760
maybe this time it's a lesser gap because we can get but regardless you add in the populist tax
00:35:44.480
cuts that's what they're not calculating the populist tax cuts of no tax on social security and
00:35:50.000
no tax on overtime and no tax on tips i think we promised this to people right this is yep well
00:35:56.720
that that that takes out more revenue leads to the while you get some growth and so that's got to be
00:36:03.680
covered and that's either spending cuts i'd rather do a spending cuts but you just here in capitol hill
00:36:10.000
handcuffed you put the nda in with 900 billion with the trillion dollars defense budget a ndaa that doesn't
00:36:17.280
answer the question there's this positive question of who wins who wins in the 20th century the ccp or
00:36:25.360
the american republic because it's that spread all over hell's have vigor from ukraine all the way
0.89
00:36:32.320
through the arc of instability from ukraine all the way down to syria and beyond and keeping the red sea
00:36:37.600
open for the guys in europe i got a flash how about this how about the people in the west end of london
00:36:44.080
and the chelsea and knightsbridge and mayfair and how about the folks in uh you know in switzerland
00:36:51.120
all the great resorts and how about the folks in uh in the south of france and how about the people
00:36:55.680
in tuscany and all the other rich folks over there why don't you figure out because right down when in
00:37:00.880
the red sea where you got american carrier battle group with 10 000 young american sailors
00:37:06.400
on it and all kind of warships i've been on those carrier battle groups virtually in the same place
00:37:13.840
hell 40 or 50 years ago we were in the north arabian sea in the persian gulf not quite as far over in
00:37:21.040
the red sea why don't they keep it right now you know what they got they got one british frigate
00:37:28.960
they got one french destroyer and they got a corvette from italy not good enough
00:37:34.560
not good enough and here they're trying to get you i'm just gonna make an observation
00:37:39.600
here they go the three percent that's president trump saved him now data through now i look at this
00:37:43.920
it's a winner that it's in ukraine and i believe different to pete hegseth i have no problem
00:37:52.240
particularly with drafting like that women you know mo went to west point mo was in the 101st mo deployed to
1.00
00:37:56.960
iraq hey that's fine she was a logistics officer so it's not combat arms but in those kind of
00:38:03.840
situations civilian affairs logistics and uh and medical you kind of all in you know because those
00:38:10.240
things you don't really have fronts so you kind of all in it i have no problem with that pete does
00:38:15.760
agree that i come down with joni ernst and those people but i understand people some people disagree
00:38:19.520
that some people said women shown they're not good enough or not not tough enough not strong
00:38:23.680
enough other people just said morally they shouldn't happen that's fine it's just a debate
00:38:28.160
but i want to make an observation they can't get 500 000 and they got these young women
0.97
00:38:34.320
young women they're learning how to shoot or maybe there's crack shots and they just got the guys in
1.00
00:38:38.640
back and help lining them up help her to get the site done that's fine that's good they're trying
00:38:44.000
there hey they're down there they the guys aren't volunteering but i'm gonna i just want to make an
00:38:48.960
observation of what you're backing with your tax dollars and what this scumbag's up here in capital
00:38:54.960
you see those young women right there and a couple three of them look like they're learning how to
00:38:58.560
shoot because i got a guy helping them this thing and they're patriots they're there to defend their
00:39:02.800
country well i don't think that's going to stop the russian army i did just you know call me old
00:39:11.440
fashion i just don't see that happening and that's what's that's what's happening up here
00:39:18.320
they need 500 000 combat troops 18 years old because they already burned through the first
00:39:23.600
at 29 and then at 27 and then at 25 so the parents get them all out of the country get don't have any
00:39:29.120
manpower but that's what the big deal here's got to go to ukraine got to get a 50 billion dollar loan
00:39:35.680
it's really just give the money there's no way you can pay it back impossible to pay it back
00:39:41.440
disgusting and we're getting wrapped around more and more every day now president trump one thing
00:39:50.000
you notice we have not covered is the drones not that we haven't spent a lot of time on the drones
00:39:55.600
we have behind scenes but president trump finally threw in today just came across i believe
00:40:03.280
president trump and i read this mystery drone sightings all over country all over the country can
00:40:09.040
this really be happening without our government's knowledge i don't think so let the public know
00:40:14.320
and now otherwise shot them down i think that dance giving i think that shoot shoot shoot i'm not far
00:40:22.720
be it for me to grammatically correct the president on his tents but then he signs a djt now
00:40:31.600
i'm just going to throw this out there the president trump who by the way i guess is the president since
00:40:36.880
has anybody had a run like this he's in notre dame looking like charlemagne he's at the new york
00:40:41.760
stock exchange ringing the bell giving a great speech he's got the time magazine cover that's the
00:40:46.400
biggest power photo i've ever seen in my life he's got jill biden making goo goo eyes at him at thing
00:40:51.840
hey is there any doubt she voted for him no doubt and pause she she voted for trump so did joe how long
00:40:57.600
they spend the oval office it was over two hours i heard biden jerks but trump's the best thing
00:41:03.280
ever happened to him because it shows you that kamala they should never replace kamala harris
00:41:06.800
according to him trump's going to wet going army navy game tomorrow in dc hey biden how hard is it to
00:41:15.120
go to the army navy game you he can't because he can't be out that long so trump's acting he's
00:41:22.080
basically the acting president now the president does get as soon as you win you get the president's
00:41:28.480
daily brief you get the exact same thing this is our this is the big controversy in in 16 when they
00:41:35.280
said oh russia inclusion i said well that's interesting it's not anywhere in the briefings
00:41:39.840
who who's who who knows it can i see can we see that can we see what you got all bs if you pin these
00:41:47.200
guys back and start asking detailed questions as only yours truly can ask because i can be a real jerk
0.64
00:41:53.600
in these meetings particularly when they start doing the hubba to hubba to hubba to hubba and
00:41:57.760
that's all they do they sit there right they look you in the eye and they will lie to you
00:42:02.320
they will lie to you i go man oh man how dumb do you think i am must be pretty dumb
0.86
00:42:09.760
but one thing i know how to run is due diligence keep asking the questions you keep getting them to
00:42:15.360
see them starting sweating and skipping around and dancing around that's what the administrator that's
00:42:20.960
a deep state and they're not that smart but they got state power and they have the information
00:42:25.360
it's all classified got all the information that's classified they're not so powerful this is what
00:42:30.080
they're freaked out about this is what gasparino is talking about the truth commission that we're
00:42:34.880
gonna start just let it all go but there's the chinese cameras part hell they hacked into everything
1.00
00:42:39.360
to get spies all over the place people on the payroll like they don't know
00:42:42.800
they're they've hacked into the seven big telecoms anything they don't know we're gonna hold it back
00:42:48.960
also the stuff you got is what they're doing oh we can't let them know what we know why not
00:42:55.840
why not they're at war with us maybe it's time that we took them seriously maybe it's time we had
00:43:01.680
respect for them as an enemy had respect for them and say hey okay we got it you're at war with us
00:43:08.880
maybe we'll start acting like that and stop acting like the goofballs we are skipping around
00:43:12.720
and having discussions serious men with knitted brows anthony blinken's a serious man i saw him
00:43:21.520
talk about sir today he was quite serious lgbtq and going to be multi-diversified everything
00:43:28.640
it's gonna be a land of milk and honey over there i want to warn you of a huge change that could be
00:43:32.960
coming to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9 11 shortly after the government
00:43:38.720
pushed through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans
00:43:43.760
by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim rickards
00:43:50.080
editor of the independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling
00:43:55.200
author is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying
00:44:01.200
new level in fact some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:44:06.320
expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media
00:44:12.400
donate to the wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out
00:44:18.720
of our bank accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning
00:44:26.000
fortunately jim rickards an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on
00:44:31.520
what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable
00:44:38.080
money watch jim's warning video now before it's censored like i've been in the past go to
00:44:44.400
rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video here's your host stephen k van
00:44:53.520
okay big fight on the reconciliation um the drones we're looking into that let's say we're spending
00:45:01.360
quite a bit of time on that because something now the president trump but president trump gets the
00:45:05.760
president's daily briefing saying just saying maybe one of those guys that walk in there maybe ask them
00:45:15.600
then we see government incompetence not you know those guys that got the t-shirt the shirt say cia
00:45:20.800
ask your briefer um elon musk uh so i can't figure this thing out cnbc's got an article now it may just
00:45:31.520
be civil but it's about the twitter acquisition which you know was a little hinky i think i said earlier
00:45:36.240
i've never seen in my history and doing mna starting at goldman sachs in 84 i think it was
00:45:42.480
that would be 1984 um to date myself the um i've never seen a judge order a guy and i still not i
00:45:53.280
still don't totally understand but they ordered him to close at 44 billion dollars he was ordered to
00:45:57.600
close the transaction or face sanctions at 44 billion dollars which i couldn't i've seen offers
00:46:03.120
change all the time i've been on the side of giving an offer and changing it for a host of reasons on the
00:46:08.400
side of of selling companies and and or defending companies and having offers changed all the time
00:46:15.120
it was very unusual at the time i don't know what genser is getting at but what i don't like about
00:46:19.200
this it looks it appears that is the use of state power again and i mean serious state power either
00:46:27.040
insider trading and or other information a civil charge but the implication is and they got these
00:46:33.200
tweets out from i guess american muck raider said they're going to be indicted on criminal charges
00:46:38.560
now the media's not all of cnbc did have an article about it but it just showed it just hey it you
00:46:43.600
think it's odd he identifies with maga he is maga money he helps maga win president trump win he's all
00:46:51.600
over down at mar-a-lago doing what someone would do you put a quarter billion dollars in you get access
00:46:57.280
you just are that's just the american politics can't be polyanna ish about that but then they come after
0.88
00:47:04.640
him that's to me the story and the question is the question is why why why they singled him out
00:47:12.080
um the john's reconciliation that so we got uh we got a lot going on in that regard there's so much
00:47:20.880
happening right now and of course in the next hour get to cash and i think
00:47:25.760
i think cash is doing fine i think cash is impressing impressing people as i've told you
00:47:33.200
cash is obviously a very impressive guy known him for a long time many years since the early days of
00:47:38.160
the first uh administration uh so it's like eight nine years now worked with him just made a film
00:47:43.600
about him with my schedule being crazy and kind of hey maybe i actually end up in prison which looked
00:47:49.920
like a high probability given the kangaroo courts in dc i carved out time with the filmmaking team
00:47:55.360
to make that movie because i thought government gangsters was that important and voila it turns
00:48:02.080
out pretty good guests go to war room.films this the film is pretty mesmerizing it's cash in his own
00:48:07.360
words we've taken the book and i think we've made it more accessible the book is great if you want to get
00:48:12.960
the book get the book and i'd like reading even more than watching films but in this topic
00:48:17.520
which it's a dense topic because it talks about what they did and what they're what they did and
00:48:24.080
uh and what they were prepared to do and what they're going to have to answer for more importantly
00:48:29.840
because cash isn't like i said cash knows where the bodies are and he knows how much
00:48:35.840
dirt's on top of each one and that's why they hate him so government gangsters also the big fight
00:48:41.840
down in i guess next week we're gonna get on top of that for the speakership down in texas
