Bannon's War Room - Episode 4456： Trump's FCC Stopping CCP Involvement In 5G; Ed Martin the Blunt Force Instrument To The Left

00:00:00.120 Very important, but is this going to include Liberation Day movement? And here we go.

00:00:05.080 The job, job, jobs report for April hitting the wires. Non-farm payrolls, a greater 177,000.

00:00:13.980 We're expecting, as Joe pointed out, 133,000. 177,000 would be the second best of the year

00:00:21.520 outside of what's in the rearview mirror, which was 228,000. That becomes 185,000

00:00:29.100 because the two-month adjustment is minus 58,000. Now, let's go to you three. The unemployment rate

00:00:36.460 remains at 4.2%. Let's look at the average hourly earnings on a month-over-month basis. Expect it up

00:00:44.460 three-tenths comes in light, up two-tenths of a percent, equally in February to find a smaller

00:00:50.860 number. You have to go all the way back to August of 23. Now, let's look at earnings on a year-over-year

00:00:57.740 basis. Also one-tenth light, 3.8. We're looking for 3.9. 3.8 equals the rearview mirror. And if we

00:01:06.480 look at the work week, the hours worked, all employees, 34.3. That's good news. We upticked

00:01:13.780 it one tick based on what we were expecting, which was 34.2. But the revision, I was looking at the

00:01:21.380 rearview mirror, 34.2, where we gained a tenth on this reading. But last month, it was revised to

00:01:26.400 34.3. And, you know, we've had a lot of 34.3s in 24. To find a higher work week, you're going back

00:01:34.040 to January of 23 when it jumped up to 34.6. Now, let's look at the U6. This, excuse me, labor force

00:01:42.700 participation rate. This is very key. And it kicked up again. This is really good news. 62.6,

00:01:49.840 a tenth better than both windshield and rearview mirror. 62.6 would equal the best read of the year

00:01:56.280 to find a higher read. You're in November of last year. And I'm sorry, September. Let's make that

00:02:01.540 separate last year. Finally, drum roll, please, Joe and the gang, U6 or the underemployment rate

00:02:07.700 comes in at 7.8. That is one-tenth lighter than 7.9 in the rearview mirror. So that also is indeed

00:02:15.880 good news. You can see the market's yields are going up, Joe, selling treasuries. That is basically

00:02:22.120 a verification that the report's a little stronger than expected. And the pre-opening equities seem

00:02:27.740 to like the trade as well, moving higher. And just to point out, we broke some streaks of lower closing

00:02:33.840 yields yesterday in both twos and tens. Back to you. I think it's important to look at them

00:02:39.960 carefully because I think we're starting to sort of get a little hyperbolic saying we're going to

00:02:43.600 have a depression. As you guys point out, we're going to end up probably with maybe not a recession,

00:02:48.120 but certainly slower growth than we could otherwise have, in part because the economy is so strong

00:02:52.500 going in. So while it isn't good, I think we're starting to see that this might not be, you know,

00:02:58.800 horrible, but just not all it could be. Look, it's good news. It's impossible to say

00:03:03.700 it's not good news. The real question is what comes next and what are we really going to see

00:03:08.840 next month and the month after? I think that's really the fundamental question. It's not to

00:03:13.820 dismiss this number. It's important to see that actually things have held up perhaps better than

00:03:19.300 some people had expected. But the question is now that this tariff piece is starting to really start

00:03:25.200 to move through the economy, what's that going to look like? It also, to some degree, alleviates some

00:03:31.380 of the pressure on Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve, despite the president saying over and

00:03:36.980 over again that Jay Powell should have been lowering interest rates because the economy needs

00:03:43.720 the juice. This would suggest actually that things are holding up. By the way, I should mention

00:03:48.460 President Trump just out on Truth Social within the last couple of minutes, again saying, look at all

00:03:54.300 of these numbers and asking the Fed for lower interest rates. One thing that's worth noting,

00:04:00.300 though, is you look at bonds, for example. Treasuries have come down. Gas has come down.

00:04:06.080 Those are either indicate either they're indicators that people expect a recession is coming and that

00:04:13.520 the reason why gas prices are down is because we have a potential demand problem or something else is

00:04:19.440 going on. So we're going to have to see all that play out again. I think that's still a month or two

00:04:23.320 away before we can really take a true measure of all this. You know what? I missed something, Joe. I

00:04:28.320 missed when there was certainty and everybody knew where interest rates were going. How did I miss

00:04:32.940 that chapter, actually? I find this hysterical. I just did a big Wells Fargo event and all these

00:04:39.100 big institutions were, of course, talking about, you know, interest rates are different than

00:04:43.760 equities. We're always a little nervous to, you know, put our face on where interest rates are going

00:04:48.600 to be. Now, all of a sudden, we inject this tariff uncertainty and pre-tariff uncertainty.

00:04:54.480 Everybody knew everything about markets. Listen, there's risks in markets. I find it so fascinating.

00:04:59.960 The UK market's been up, what, 14 days in a row. Our stock markets have been green a lot lately.

00:05:05.160 And yet, that's all we do is continue to talk about how everything green is turning brown, how we've

00:05:10.420 gone from spring to fall. The key in the conversation so far is man-made, man-made. This is not an

00:05:17.720 exogenous shock. Can't treat it that way. And how it all turns out, no matter if it was a good thing,

00:05:23.540 a bad thing, a mistake, I don't care about that. I'm a market guy. And the markets are looking past

00:05:28.800 the rhetoric. And the fact that it's man-made means it's going to end differently. And it's very

00:05:33.340 difficult to model. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because

00:05:44.440 we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:05:51.580 The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do

00:05:55.660 everything in the world to stop that. But you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

00:05:58.660 And where do people like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish

00:06:05.880 that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:06:12.820 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:06:19.020 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:06:22.440 It's Friday, 2 May in the year of our Lord, 2025. What a week. Another epic week. And of course,

00:06:33.620 the engine room informs me that the business media has an antibody that they cannot accept.

00:06:41.740 Epic, great news on the face of it, even drilling down below it. Rick Santelli there,

00:06:47.180 the great Rick Santelli laying out kind of a blowout jobs number. Remember Liberation Day,

00:06:54.800 two weeks ago, every screaming headline, it's the worst stock market since the end,

00:07:00.880 since the Great Depression, since Black Thursday. It's the end of the world. The world is ending.

00:07:07.180 Remember all those pundits? Remember all the, these are the business people, not the political

00:07:10.840 people with hair on fire. This is the business, especially the folks that have fiduciary

00:07:15.760 responsibility and kind of judicious and discernment. Attack, attack, attack on everything

00:07:22.120 Trump and sound like little children running around. Oh my gosh, we don't have enough toys.

00:07:26.680 The toys, there's not enough toys. The immaturity and the lack of seriousness of our elites

00:07:33.940 is, uh, is, uh, is shocking. And right there, that is called a great print. Okay. Even the negative

00:07:41.960 print the other day on the, uh, on GDP, when you went one level down below the numbers, it's actually

00:07:47.020 fairly strong. President Trump is set in motion, the most fundamental reorganization of the world's

00:07:56.160 commercial, uh, relationships and patterns as codified by trade deals with non-tariff

00:08:03.500 bearers, terrorists, everything, all this complexity. But at fundamental, it's a basic reset for the

00:08:10.600 re-industrialization of the greatest country on earth. That would be the United States of America

00:08:15.300 and putting America first and putting American citizens first. And right there, of course, 0.70

00:08:20.200 Andrew Ross Sorkin in the New York times, Hey, you know, Trump just put on true social gasoline below

00:08:26.460 two bucks. Folks, you're rolling up to Memorial day and gasoline is going to be under two bucks.

00:08:31.720 How is that going for helping people in their, in their, in their wallets and with the credit card

00:08:37.240 debt and all the problems they got? How is that? How's that? How's that? How's that about helping

00:08:41.660 them across the board? Just fantastic news tonight. Great news of the United Kingdom last night. The

00:08:48.120 reform party is essentially replaced the Tory party or in the process of now actually replacing it blow out

00:08:55.340 local elections for Nigel Farage and team. And Nigel is traveling around the, the countryside in England

00:09:01.900 in this kind of after the aftermath that we're going to get Nigel, try to get Nigel up this afternoon on the

00:09:07.320 afternoon show. I want to go to one of the FCC committee folks, Nathan Simonton, a commissioner of the

00:09:15.940 Federal Communications Commission. Sir, you wrote a great piece with Gavin Wax up in the Daily Caller about

00:09:21.500 the re-industrialization of America. Can you, can you walk us through your piece in detail?

00:09:28.540 Absolutely. Delighted to have a chance to talk about it. There's probably, there's probably no

00:09:32.840 bigger issue in the United States today. So, so industrialization, you know, that's a step forward

00:09:39.400 economically. Countries that aren't industrialized, you know, we consider those sort of backward countries 1.00

00:09:43.560 that need to develop. The United States is in an interesting position there because a lot of the key

00:09:48.660 technologies, in some cases, in some sectors, all of the key technologies that create the modern world,

00:09:54.360 that really create the, the modern life that we live, originated in the United States. And yet,

00:09:59.100 increasingly, we find ourselves unable to manufacture them. This is, I think, this is an

00:10:05.840 over-determined result. There were a lot of factors playing into this, but at the end of the day,

00:10:10.120 I think Americans look around and say, you know, they told us it doesn't make sense to make things

00:10:15.160 here anymore. And they're just struggling to comprehend what that means. Does that mean that

00:10:20.300 there's a problem with Americans, that they're somehow just not as good? Does it mean that there's,

00:10:25.520 that there are just better jobs on offer all over the place? You know, that argument was a little bit

00:10:31.560 more plausible the first time I heard it around 91, 92. We've had the more than 30 years of experience

00:10:37.020 showing us that very often when the industrial jobs went away, what replaced them were not superior

00:10:43.780 service sector jobs. They were, you know, they were gig economy jobs. They were part-time security

00:10:48.440 guard jobs. And I think there are a lot of Americans who want to work and want to produce and want to

00:10:53.160 contribute to our common prosperity and are just feeling locked out. That's the social side. On the

00:10:58.920 technical side, on the technical side, it's also important to reset on China. You can't talk about

00:11:04.080 manufacturing without talking about China, because China is such a huge presence in export

00:11:08.160 manufacturing. In some cases, they're the whole game. And what we're seeing here is the image of

00:11:14.000 China, the old image of made in China was cheap toys, trinkets, low quality products that didn't

00:11:20.240 have a buyer on the world market unless it was just on the basis of cheap labor. But China is no longer

00:11:25.200 a cheap labor jurisdiction, or rather, it's a complex mix. You've got people who are definitely doing the

00:11:31.240 cheap labor stuff. China still has hundreds of millions of people that it wants to bring into an 0.98

00:11:34.960 industrial economy. And if you're a subsistence farmer, then moving up to sewing in a sweatshop is

00:11:42.460 definitely a step up. It was when Americans chose to do that in the early 20th century, and it is

00:11:46.680 for poor people in China today. But China also has a genuine middle class now, a technically advanced

00:11:54.520 middle class, and a highly technically advanced manufacturing sector. Not just manufacturing,

00:11:59.300 but also logistics, the inputs for R&D. The truth is that the synthesis between robotics,

00:12:04.960 AI, and advanced wireless networks, particularly 5G, is happening in China in a way that it's not

00:12:11.520 yet happening here in the United States. And if we don't gain some ability to act in this space,

00:12:17.600 then every other country in the world that wants to modernize is going to modernize on Chinese 1.00

00:12:21.760 technology, sometimes with full awareness that this means that everything is going back to Beijing.

00:12:26.900 Because if they're the only game in town, and we're not on the board, then everyone else who has

00:12:32.120 responsibilities for their own economic development and national destiny, they're going to be forced

00:12:37.000 to choose with their eyes open. Nathan, and by the way, I'd like to hold you through the break. I know

00:12:43.520 you're packed today, one of the commissioners over the FCC, President Trump's appointees. But first,

00:12:49.300 before we go to break, FCC communications, intellectual property. I keep talking to the folks here about it's not

00:12:56.480 simply a $37 trillion in debt. By the way, President Trump put out the budget for FY26. I'm

00:13:02.700 going to get to that in a little bit. And a lot of good news there. You guys are going to like what

00:13:08.240 you hear. Not perfect, but hey, it's not a perfect world. But directionally, it's really strong.

00:13:13.880 Intellectual property. The stealing. I'll tell you what, hang on. I'm going to ask you this and get to it

00:13:18.860 after the break. We have $37 trillion in debt. We're adding a trillion dollars, I don't know,

00:13:24.400 every 100 days or so, or at least before President Trump got here. We have a $25 trillion trade

00:13:30.720 deficit, 18 trillion. That's specifically tied to China since they came on board through the World 1.00

00:13:37.980 Trade Organization and Most Favored Nation. And we have about a $25 trillion deficit as far as

00:13:43.960 intellectual property. They've either stolen or forced from American companies in these joint

00:13:48.520 ventures. That intellectual property is the backbone of how China has ripped off the American people. 0.96

00:13:55.860 Nathan Simonton is with us from the FCC. We're going to have Jim Rickards to join us. A lot of

00:14:00.340 geopolitics, capital markets, a blowout number today in President Trump's economy. Wall Street is at

00:14:07.020 least up. Things are going good there. Of course, long faces. Andrew Ross Sorkin, the New York Times,

00:14:12.520 Financial Times, the London Wall Street Journal, a cross-eyed. All their predictions, guess what? 0.97

00:14:18.840 Not wrong, dead wrong, as usual. Just stick here in the war room. We'll talk to you about 0.89

00:14:22.960 capital markets, the global economy, how it ties back here to the United States of America.

00:14:28.320 We have a new birchgold.com. The Rio Reset on July 6th in Rio de Janeiro. We're going to have a full

00:14:34.840 team there. The BRICS nations come together to accelerate the de-dollarization of the world's 1.00

00:16:12.720 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:19.040 Nathan Simington is our guest. Blowout number on Wall Street today about the economic numbers coming out

00:16:23.780 from President Trump. President Trump's put his budget up just as a headline for FYF fiscal year

00:16:31.440 26. It's going to go down. They're cutting the budget $160 billion out of, this is discretionary.

00:16:39.980 Remember, discretionary is essentially $15, $17, $18. President Trump's getting down to, I think,

00:16:46.240 $17, $160 billion cut, all coming from non-defense. We'll get into all of that. They haven't put out the

00:16:52.680 revenue number yet, but at least it's a start. It's a start. You've seen a cut. Hey, you're going

00:16:58.840 to unmask everybody about how real people are in this. Nathan, why did President Donald John Trump

00:17:04.640 select you to be a commissioner and one of the most important regulatory apparatuses we have,

00:17:11.620 the FCC, sir? Well, you know, I know they looked at a lot of people before me. There is a need to get

00:17:18.620 someone appointed in the fall of 2020. And, you know, the press came out and said, we know everyone

00:17:24.680 in telecom. We don't know this guy. I don't think I would have been on any insider shortlist of the

00:17:30.800 top 1,000 people. So it needs some explaining. When the White House called me in as part of the

00:17:35.740 general search for candidates, I didn't come from the telecom policy world. I came from the bond finance

00:17:41.300 side and futures market side of telecom finance. And I came in with an economic thesis. I was saying,

00:17:48.140 you know, we need to understand that there are effects on the cellulophone industry and therefore

00:17:54.000 second order effects many places, including industrialization, by the way. We can get into

00:17:59.240 that another time. But there are second order effects from the way that these devices are

00:18:02.640 financed and sold to clients. And it winds up being a subsidy to the manufacturers. And I think that

00:18:07.120 was such an unusual thing to say. And so far from typical talking points that I got more and more

00:18:12.100 interest. So I talked through that. I talked through some free speech stuff. I knew very well

00:18:16.560 the fellow who had written the president's social media petition to the FCC because he was my boss.

00:18:22.860 And so, you know, with one thing or another, there were speech issues. There were finance issues.

00:18:28.160 There was, I guess, willingness to do back office, get into details and address the tech side.

00:18:33.320 And then, you know, I immediately wound up in minority. So really, I turned my little team at

00:18:38.180 the FCC into a research unit on a number of these tech integration and future developmental pathway

00:18:43.740 routes. So, you know, I had to roll with the punches when the president didn't take office

00:18:50.220 for a second term in 2021. And the whole time, I've been thinking, what would it look like to tee up

00:18:56.900 for success with a return to power in 2025? And now I think we're finally ready to address some of those

00:19:01.820 big questions that were left hanging last time. So walk us through that, the big questions and

00:19:07.180 how you guys are prepared for this and what you're going to do, because this is absolutely and I want

00:19:10.560 everybody, if Grace and Mo can push out the daily collar piece on the re-industrialization written

00:19:16.620 and co-authored by the great Gavin Wax. What are those issues? And what do you see the issues before

00:19:23.360 us today? You know, I love Gavin, made a lot of waves when I hired him at the FCC. He has just been

00:19:30.360 a firecracker. We've been getting a lot done. So I, you know, I share your perspective on him.

00:19:35.120 As far as the re-industrialization side, like I was saying before, in the Chinese economy,

00:19:40.740 we've seen a fusion between greater uptake of robotics, greater uptake of industrial AI. China

00:19:47.160 has thousands of college programs in that that are a distinct track from computer science. And then

00:19:53.020 that's specifically industrial AI. That's not chatbots. That's machine learning for factory

00:19:57.480 applications in boring but essential areas, like quality control and electronic components.

00:20:02.180 And we've seen a merger of that increasingly with 5G networking. Now, in the United States,

00:20:06.800 of course, we were promised amazing new phone features with 5G. But if you read the 5G spec,

00:20:12.920 starting with 3GPP release 17 in particular, I think that's where it really snapped into place

00:20:17.280 for me. We're on release 18 now. Release 19 is coming up this year. But if you read release 17,

00:20:22.360 it really doesn't look like a cell phone spec to me. It looks like an advanced industrial

00:20:26.900 networking spec that has roots in cell phone technology, but at this point has evolved far

00:20:31.680 beyond them. And that's what we're seeing in terms of Chinese actual deployment of 5G. Not that much

00:20:36.540 consumer, lots in the industrial sector, lots of private networking that is just for running particular

00:20:42.680 factories, medical facilities, logistics facilities, etc. People always assumed that China was going to be

00:20:49.320 late to automate because they had such a large pool of unskilled low-wage labor. Typically,

00:20:54.780 you see automation in an advanced economy when there's a wage replacement possibility,

00:20:58.940 sort of a little bit like how McDonald's has all these kiosks now. And you go in, you order from those,

00:21:03.880 and they don't have to pay as many counterstaff. But what we're seeing in China is that China is

00:21:08.240 front-running this, and their rate of robotics adoption is something like seven times the wage

00:21:12.260 predicted rate. What we're seeing is that with Chinese production lines, it's no longer the sort of

00:21:17.460 circa 2007 image, in many cases, certainly in telecommunications, my field, where you've got

00:21:23.160 the people on the assembly line working with the pots of glue and little screwdrivers to put phones

00:21:28.260 together. We're way, way, way beyond that. I personally ask myself, how can the Chinese put 1.00

00:21:34.160 out a really good electric car for $10,000? It's not low wages. There are plenty of low-wage

00:21:39.220 jurisdictions. I'm not seeing $10,000 world-competitive electric cars from them. And China, in fact,

00:21:44.180 became the world's largest auto exporter a couple of years ago. So this is old news at this point,

00:21:48.360 and it should be a wake-up call for our own industry.

00:21:53.660 You know, the war room posse, which is really the tip of the spear of the activist branch or the

00:21:59.080 activist wing of President Trump's movement, a not insignificant part of that

00:22:04.980 cadre, is quite concerned about 5G. They look at 5G as maybe having potential health effects,

00:22:16.000 potential ability, you just walked through, to have type of autocratic control if left to

00:22:22.340 nefarious devices or left to nefarious actors, right? What's your overall, is the FCC, have you guys

00:22:29.720 fully thought through 5G and all those implications? And you think that you've done a good job or a job

00:22:37.160 enough to make sure the public fully understands what the strategy is here on the communication side?

00:22:43.760 Yeah. So let's unpack this. So 5G is at its root just a protocol for networking. In the same way that

00:22:51.360 4G was the long-term evolution protocol to bring broadband to mobile devices, 5G is a step beyond

00:22:58.700 that in terms of capacities. So with 5G, you get a number of things that are clear evolution from LTE,

00:23:07.180 which is why your 5G phone seems to act like a regular 4G phone, maybe a little faster most of

00:23:11.960 the time. But in terms of additional capacities that it brings to the table, it can transmit at

00:23:17.100 higher frequencies, which are less penetrant of your body or of, you know, a building or something

00:23:23.780 like that, have shorter ranges, but can transmit higher data volumes. So you've got those higher

00:23:29.700 frequencies. Then you also have ability to put many, many, many more devices on a particular radio, as well as

00:23:38.240 the ability to push more and more network organizing intelligence out to the edge. So could 5G be used to

00:23:43.500 enable tyranny? Absolutely, because it's a better networking protocol than 4G. Is there anything inherent about it that is

00:23:49.740 anti-democratic? Absolutely not. It's just, you could do the same kind of, you know, if you were going to use it for

00:23:55.980 nefarious purposes, you could essentially do the same thing with any cell phone technology, including 4G. You could do

00:24:01.500 anything similar with any powerful wireless networking technology, such as Wi-Fi, assuming you had adequate

00:24:06.920 coverage. So I don't think that people are wrong to be concerned about potential social implications of just increasing

00:24:14.680 networking, uh, capabilities and putting more connectivity and more ability to transmit data

00:24:20.760 everywhere. But I think those are fundamentally social problems, making sure that our institutions

00:24:25.520 aren't going to use those new capabilities in some sort of negative way, the way that they could use any

00:24:31.000 communications capabilities. And it's, it's not something specific to 5G.

00:24:34.920 You know, this audience, uh, just the other day with article three project, Mike Davis, the vice

00:24:41.440 rory in, in war room posse working together with bill blaster and other of our apps that can get,

00:24:46.680 you know, instant access to Congressman. We shut down the judiciary committees, uh, this one agency

00:24:52.140 where they're trying to roll in to really do away with the FTC where the FTC seems to be going after

00:24:57.100 the oligarchs, right? With Facebook and others, just this amazing antitrust team. Can you walk people

00:25:03.520 through how the FCC actually works? Get our audience through. You've been selected by president

00:25:07.460 Trump. You're one of the commissioners. You got a great new chairman. Just take a minute or two and

00:25:12.440 walk, inform the audience, how, how you guys actually work and what you guys actually do.

00:25:19.360 Yeah. Well, president Trump's selection of chairman Carr for chair. So elevating him from the commissioner

00:25:24.640 job he'd prior held was, uh, one of his earliest decisions. I would say that chairman Carr was put up for

00:25:30.540 that position, uh, during the transition faster than probably at least half the cabinet and probably

00:25:35.600 the fastest in history. So this was an enormous vote of confidence by president Trump, which has

00:25:39.680 of course been fully justified. And it's, it's fantastic to work with him. Um, as far as how our

00:25:45.360 structure goes, there are five commission seats. You can only have up to three from a single party.

00:25:50.760 So traditionally it's been that the majority party gets three and those are all Senate confirmed seats.

00:25:56.800 So there's no definite timeline for seating people that's up to the Senate. So the majority party

00:26:00.660 gets three and the minority party gets two. And typically commissioned votes are either going to

00:26:05.480 be on, um, a five, zero basis or on a three, two basis, depending how partisan the issue is. Although

00:26:10.960 there are no rules saying it has to be that way. Now what we do, it's a very broad remit. Uh, we cover

00:26:16.920 transmission of, um, of signal by, by radio or by cable, uh, interstate or internationally.

00:26:24.920 And when you think about the implications of that, that's, that's a huge amount of stuff that's

00:26:29.140 broadcasting. That's also the satellite industry, because those are communications from space to

00:26:33.620 the United States. Um, that's obviously the wireless mobility industry. We have a lot of

00:26:38.680 economic competition stuff in there. There are some ways in which we look at, uh, cable pricing.

00:26:43.900 So, uh, so you put it all together. It's a very broad remit and we're not a very large agency. It's

00:26:49.080 about 1600 people for all those responsibilities. Some, some offices and bureaus are larger, some are

00:26:54.180 smaller, but it's about a hundred people per. Um, so we, I think we do a lot with a little, and then we

00:27:00.180 fund ourselves off of regulatory fees. So in other words, uh, we don't require appropriations from the

00:27:05.500 public, uh, to keep going. The industry pays, uh, for us to oversee them. So, you know, hopefully we're

00:27:10.920 doing a good job of that and they feel they're getting their money's worth. The chair controls the

00:27:14.500 agenda. So in terms of what we actually vote upon at the commission, uh, the chair has the job to

00:27:21.620 develop items to be voted on for regulatory change with the politically appointed heads of the

00:27:27.380 different offices and bureaus, sometimes working, you know, with multiple, uh, offices and bureaus on

00:27:32.100 a project to make sure that we fully covered all of the aspects. We might have the office of economic

00:27:36.900 analysis of economics and analysis. I should say looking at, uh, potential financial implications.

00:27:42.900 We might have the wireline competition bureau looking at, uh, the effects on fiber and cable. We,

00:27:48.980 you know, so there, there, there's a lot of technical back office stuff that we did.

00:27:54.180 Nathan, hang on for one second. I just want to bring you back after a short break and get your,

00:27:57.620 all your social media. So people can start to follow you in depth, short commercial break.

00:28:01.380 Nathan Simonton, uh, joins us, uh, be back in the morning in a moment.

00:28:11.860 You've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while now. You probably know that for years,

00:29:38.900 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:29:43.860 Okay. Um, Nathan, um, before we go to two issues, one is the deep state, uh, or the intelligence apparatus

00:29:52.500 on anything on 5g. And the other is about, um, this whole thing with not just CBS, but these broadcasters

00:29:58.660 and licensing, everything we're hearing about from car, uh, about these people just, you know, attacking, attacking,

00:30:04.660 attacking, attacking president Trump, editing videos, a new thing today about the Kamala Harris, 60 minutes.

00:30:09.780 Uh, and we understand 60 minutes is going to go back after president Trump again on Sunday night. Uh, so any thoughts

00:30:15.300 on this 5g and the intelligence community, sir?

00:30:18.560 Yes, absolutely. So what we saw during the prior administration was, and, and at points before that,

00:30:25.620 but let's focus on the prior administration. So what we saw during, during them was, uh, a use of

00:30:32.020 the, the, the apparatus to understand, map out and influence, uh, social media and online

00:30:37.700 communications that had been developed for other purposes, perhaps, but that were being deployed

00:30:41.860 increasingly domestically. So we had a lot of people within the federal government who had direct

00:30:47.620 plugins to social media companies, or who had, um, who had conventional regular communications with

00:30:52.900 them with strongly worded suggestions about the directions in which those social media companies

00:30:57.780 should take things. The thing is, if you look at the Facebook IPO back in 2012, the killer app for

00:31:03.860 Facebook more than anything else was that it went with you in your pocket. So it was the first kind of

00:31:09.460 form of advertising that really had granular information about customer behavior and customer location.

00:31:15.940 And that's really what made the market salivate when Facebook went public. Um, 5g is obviously 1.00

00:31:22.580 increasing connectivity possibilities, increasing bandwidth possibilities. And so plugins in the

00:31:27.620 federal government that are meant to manipulate and direct social media in accordance with, uh,

00:31:32.900 some kind of a federal policy would thus find their hands strengthened even more by 5g. So I think it's

00:31:38.500 important to bring in social controls over, um, over the shaping of public opinion. We're supposed to be a

00:31:44.900 democracy. We're supposed to tell the government what it's supposed to do. It's not supposed to try

00:31:49.220 and, uh, warp our minds in a direction that's favorable to whatever policy, uh, they may think

00:31:55.540 we should be following whether we like it or not. Uh, what about this whole, the battle or at least

00:32:01.300 car, it looks like he threw down immediately against the broadcasters. So is that you're not actually

00:32:07.060 threatening or talking about taking their licenses away, which I don't understand how they get the

00:32:12.260 license and say, they're going to do public good and their news is so slanted, but this is more

00:32:17.220 targeted to the own and operated station groups. Is that what it is? Yeah, that's right. So the FCC

00:32:23.780 doesn't really have jurisdiction to reach any players in the media ecosystem, unless they are in some way

00:32:30.260 using a wireless communications. And that's of course what broadcasting is. So in other words,

00:32:35.540 most people just turn on their TV and they don't necessarily have to think too hard about whether that,

00:32:40.260 uh, whether what they're seeing is coming from their, uh, from a local broadcaster or as part

00:32:45.700 of a network affiliation agreement that their local broadcaster is putting out, but that originated with

00:32:50.660 at the network level, or if it's something else, people are, you know, subscribing to individual

00:32:54.660 specialty TV channels on the direct to consumer basis through the smart TVs. So there are a lot of

00:32:59.380 different things out there in the media ecosystem, but the FCC doesn't regulate most of them. The online

00:33:04.420 content we don't regulate. You know, people ask me, what are you doing about Disney FUBO? And my answer is

00:33:08.740 nothing because I don't have jurisdiction there. So there's, it says communications on the building,

00:33:12.900 but really it should say broadcast communications on the building. That would be more accurate.

00:33:16.820 So with Chairman Carr, um, his focus is on the specific question of whether a broadcast news

00:33:23.940 distortion, which is actionable at the broadcaster level and potentially whether that took place.

00:33:28.740 Uh, both he and I put out statements on that in December and did some interviews on it at the time.

00:33:33.220 Um, I saw what I think is the first well-pleated broadcast news distortion complaint I've ever

00:33:38.340 seen in my career across my desk. Um, uh, and so that seems like that's a predicate to look into

00:33:43.700 the question, but there's no way that the FCC can regulate CBS as a whole. On the other hand,

00:33:49.860 if there were some sort of improper behavior, uh, at the stations that were owned and operated by the

00:33:56.100 CBS network, then the fact that those are broadcasters, uh, does give us jurisdiction to

00:34:01.300 start raising questions about the, uh, public, about the integrity of what was broadcast and whether

00:34:06.740 that's an appropriate use of the airwaves, which are after all the common property of the American

00:34:10.900 people. Great. Nathan, I will tell you the audience loved it, but there, there's still the

00:34:16.260 juries out in the war and posse on the health effects of 5g. We probably gotta get Bobby over here for 1.00

00:34:20.900 that. Nathan Simonton, where do people go, uh, on social media to find all your writings and to

00:34:26.420 follow you as you continue to battle for president Trump and the nation, uh, at the federal communications

00:34:33.540 commission, sir? Well, sir, um, you can first of all, go to FCC.gov and on my page there, there's

00:34:41.060 access, uh, to all of my written statements, some of which are pretty technical and didn't turn into

00:34:46.180 press releases. Um, there's also an op-ed tab under me on the FCC's webpage. Um, in addition,

00:34:52.820 I'm at Symington FCC. So, uh, you got it right there. That's my X account, uh, my official X account.

00:34:59.780 I, it's the same handle on, uh, Instagram and on true social. So, uh, if, if anyone's interested in

00:35:06.580 finding out more of what I think about stuff, then that's an easy conduit. Thank you, brother.

00:35:11.540 Appreciate you. Great job. Thank you, sir. Always.

00:35:16.660 You guys want the receipts. Uh, this is the warriors at the front line that are making

00:35:20.500 massive changes. It's just incredible. Uh, Laura Loomer and Laura's out and about today.

00:35:25.860 We're in Toronto area, but Laura Loomer made the front page. God, I love this.

00:35:29.940 Laura Loomer makes the front page of the beloved financial times of London.

00:35:34.740 Trump ditches Waltz after MAGA wrath builds against national security advisor. And the whole

00:35:41.140 story is about Laura Loomer and the expose she did on the people at the national security

00:35:45.140 council and Alex Wong and all of them. It's, uh, we're going to try to get Laura. Do we

00:35:49.460 have time? I got, so another, we're talking about people driving president Trump's agenda,

00:35:56.420 not simply for the MAGA movement, not simply for president Trump, but also for the folks

00:36:00.660 here in the United States of America, all her citizens. Uh, one of the great warriors

00:36:05.300 we have, we talked about a little bit yesterday, Ed Martin, uh, just an incredible guy, uh, Phyllis

00:36:11.860 Schlafly's right hand, uh, Phyllis Schlafly was her endorsement of president Trump was a, uh, 0.99

00:36:19.620 an inflection point in the 2015 primary and the 2016 campaign. She's one of the great icons of the

00:36:27.060 conservative movement and absolutely total warrior. And so is Ed Martin, uh, who's her

00:36:32.500 ringman. Ed Martin is now awaiting confirmation as the U S attorney for the district of Columbia.

00:36:37.300 And you understand besides the top people at main justice, this is along with the Southern

00:36:42.420 district of New York, the two most important U S attorneys in the nation. We have a, uh, and there's

00:36:47.460 a full scale war against Ed Martin right now. And why is that? Because Ed Martin is, uh, how do we

00:36:55.300 say setting things, right? Let's go and play this package and I'll come right back. I heard the name

00:37:00.740 Ed Martin. I know there's a lot of people to keep track of in Donald Trump's new administration, but

00:37:06.180 this guy is, I would say a standout. And I don't mean that in a good way. He is the guy that Trump

00:37:12.340 appointed to be the U S attorney for Washington DC. So he's not yet Senate confirmed. Uh, he's,

00:37:18.820 he's an acting right now. He is to my mind, completely unqualified and truly a bit unhinged.

00:37:26.500 One of the things he's doing a lot of since he got into that powerful office, basically day one,

00:37:30.420 as, as the acting U S attorney, not confirmed yet, he's trying to be confirmed is this habit of firing

00:37:36.100 off these menacing letters all over the place. For instance, to medical journals from the new

00:37:42.500 England journal of medicine to the journal of stress tricks and gynecology to chest. That's a

00:37:48.740 scientific journal for chest doctors. If I'm being honest, it's the first time I've ever heard of it

00:37:53.940 in these letters. Martin accuses the journals. This is the U S attorney, acting U S attorney,

00:37:58.500 accusing the journals of bias and demands that they report back to him.

00:38:02.260 This is the kind of thing Ed Martin does. It's sort of his thing. You might recall that he sent

00:38:08.180 a letter apparently only on social media, threatened to chase federal employees to the

00:38:12.180 end of the earth, to hold them accountable for anyone pushing back on Elon Musk's government

00:38:16.820 efficiency. Folks were flooding into agencies with barely any notice. This is someone it would seem to

00:38:24.020 me based on these letters who is under the impression that he's lives in an authoritarian state,

00:38:29.860 not a free country where people with the policing power that he's been vested with,

00:38:33.940 get to just impose their will at any institution whatsoever from, you know, the chest journal to

00:38:40.180 Georgetown law school to Wikipedia. Now the Senate judiciary committee has yet to vote to start

00:38:46.420 Martin's confirmation hearing, but Republican chair Chuck Grassley said today it is not on the agenda

00:38:51.620 because Republicans still have questions as they should. And there is really just a really long

00:38:58.500 list of reasons not to nominate this guy and his other people who are nominated for the position

00:39:03.700 don't already hold it. And so at some level, it's a little speculative. Well, what will they do in

00:39:07.540 the job? In this case, he was named the acting, uh, on day one. And I have to say these letters

00:39:14.420 he's been sending. Here's an, you know, uh, three different medical journals, the journal of chess

00:39:18.820 medicine. I want you to respond to the U S attorney about whether you have bias. Uh, get back to me on

00:39:24.820 that Georgetown law school. You have to tell me how you're instructing your kids. This is Wikipedia.

00:39:29.620 He sent a letter to the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia, accusing the tax exempt organization

00:39:33.220 of allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American

00:39:37.540 public. I mean, I have to say these letters strike me as, as flatly authoritarian as anything

00:39:42.260 we've seen from the Trump administration. And one does have to wonder if he were actually confirmed

00:39:47.140 what he would be doing with the prosecutorial power.

00:39:49.620 I mean, he calls the hundreds of lawyers who work at the U S attorney's office, which is a pretty

00:39:56.900 venerated office of prosecutors, the president's lawyers. Um, and he has openly said that his job is

00:40:04.900 to go out there and attack the critics of the president. I have colleagues in Congress who received

00:40:10.500 threatening letters for, from, uh, Mr. Martin, um, in his first days in office, one of the first things

00:40:16.660 he did was to dismiss cases against his own defendants. That is rather his own clients,

00:40:22.900 people who were criminal defendants in the January six case. He was there on January six

00:40:28.020 and he experienced the events of the day as Mardi Gras. He said in a tweet that he sent out as he

00:40:36.100 observed the mass violence against our police officers, the attempt to storm the Capitol,

00:40:42.020 the storming of the Capitol, and then the attempt to overthrow the election as Mardi Gras. It was a

00:40:46.820 big day of celebration for him. And he has partaken of every form of January six denialism and conspiracy

00:40:53.860 theory out there like the FBI director as well. Okay. So he has the endorsement

00:41:02.820 of Chris Hayes and Jamie Raskin. And what I mean by that is that they hate him. So what does that tell

00:41:08.500 you? He's gotta be great. Whatever they hate is good. And they hate him. And it's a nonstop barrage.

00:41:17.380 And this has nothing to do with Democrats right now. This is the acid test on, are we going to get

00:41:25.700 serious about going after this apparatus, taking it apart brick by brick and getting to the bottom,

00:41:34.020 getting to the bottom of what's going on? Because Ed Martin ain't looking to co-host Fox news shows.

00:41:45.700 This guy's a grinder and a warrior and will not not back down at all. This all goes back to Grassley

00:41:53.540 and to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Number one, when you have these confirmations of US attorneys,

00:42:00.580 we've never had confirmation hearings. I think you have 93, 92, 93 US attorneys, right? And then you

00:42:07.700 have hundreds of attorneys underneath it. But if you had to confirm in a hearing, the US attorneys,

00:42:13.300 you'd never get anybody appointed. It would take forever. They do it all in kind of paperwork.

00:42:18.900 This is all about the Senate Judiciary Committee. And this gets back to the controlled opposition of

00:42:23.940 the Republican Party. There are many, many people that just not moving with urgency

00:42:31.540 and alacrity. And hey, we got to get this done. Let's grind. Let's grind seven days a week. Let's

00:42:38.420 hit it. Let's hit it. Let's hit it. Action, action, action. You have a lot of these people around here 0.97

00:42:44.900 just lazy or don't want to do it. Or they're too, you know, they're, they're concerned about Jamie

00:42:49.220 Raskin saying something bad about them. There's their concern and worried about Chris Hayes having

00:42:55.940 a segment of Chris Hayes producers cutting together, you know, footage and having your letters up there

00:43:02.900 where they're attacking you, attacking you and attacking you. They don't like that because

00:43:07.060 they're not courageous. This game is not for the faint of heart. Did they not put and it was

00:43:15.460 it not Matthew Graves in that crowd over as a D.C. U.S. attorney put all the January 6th people in

00:43:20.900 prison? Did they not? Did they not try to put President Trump working with Jack Smith,

00:43:28.500 put President Trump in prison for, I don't know, 300 years? Short commercial break.

00:43:38.420 Health isn't just a personal issue. It's a family issue, a community issue. We're living in

00:43:43.620 unpredictable times. Supply chains can break down. Hospitals can get overwhelmed and let's not even

00:43:48.340 start on the natural disasters. These aren't hypotheticals. They're happening. You see it here

00:43:52.980 in the war room and we all know it. The question is simply, are you ready? That's where Jace comes in.

00:44:45.700 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:44:50.340 There are things at Maine Justice that are happening, okay? There are other things happening

00:44:56.900 around town. You get the great Tom Fitton. When you look at the convergence of the crises we are

00:45:03.140 coming to, the budget today was kind of initial, and it's directionally, we're getting there. It's

00:45:09.780 not great, but it's a start, at least from what I've seen in the, you know, the little bit I've

00:45:15.220 seen. We're going to get it all into that. It's clearly not cut enough, but this is part of this,

00:45:20.740 the crises we're coming to now, folks. So plan out for the next 100 days. Let's go to the end of July.

00:45:27.060 Let's go to July 29th, basically, or 30th. So the next 90, 100 days, I guess, be the first week. Let me

00:45:35.060 do some right math. It'll be the first week of August when they all get ready to leave here.

00:45:42.580 You're going to have this constitutional crisis driven by what the judge said yesterday of stepping

00:45:47.140 in between President Trump being commander in chief, number one, the deportations. And they're

00:45:52.180 winning because they're jamming us up on the criminal element, hoping to break our will,

00:45:57.700 because this is all about will, political will. They hope to break our will on the 10 million that

00:46:03.780 have to leave. And you have to do it humanely, of course, but they got to go.

00:46:10.340 That's number one. Number two is, is the one tonight, today, New York Post has got it. I think,

00:46:17.380 you know, Secretary of State Ruby and the guys say, hey, look, we signed the minerals deal,

00:46:22.100 but it looks like we're not making progress. We're kind of going to take a time out,

00:46:25.220 or at least some word to the effect that the Ukraine thing, you guys slug it out,

00:46:29.940 but we're not putting up any more money. So this is the kinetic part of the third world war.

00:46:35.140 And you saw President Trump came out yesterday on the Persians and said, hey,

00:46:38.580 how about this? One hundred percent stopping the oil, all their oil.

00:46:43.300 I would just say in the two and a half billion, a million barrels a day going to the Chinese Communist Party,

00:46:47.380 but blockade it all. Stop it all. So you got that part. Then you had the finance and the

00:46:54.100 economics and how you're going to fund it. So all those are converging over the next hundred days,

00:46:58.980 countries, which is phase two of this, right? To

00:47:05.540 one of the most contentious, complicated

00:47:11.940 inflection points in the history of the Republic.

00:47:15.620 That's the stakes there on the table. That's the that's the stakes Trump's planned for.

00:47:19.860 He's not doing small things. He's doing the biggest things you could do at the highest level

00:47:25.060 with a sense of urgency. Trump. We did that town hall the other day on News Nation.

00:47:31.860 He's calling in at it from his desk at the restaurant in the Oval Office at eight o'clock at night.

00:47:36.740 And they're talking about it was just after the speech we did live for the tech CEOs.

00:47:41.700 He's saying, hey, I got a bunch of these guys backed up.

00:47:44.660 I'm going to meet with these guys right afterwards. He's going to sit down with these guys again.

00:47:47.540 He's going to work to 10 or 11 o'clock at night, every night, and then be up at five in the morning,

00:47:54.340 dropping truth bombs on true social.

00:47:59.460 That's one of his superpowers is just, you know, energy at a level that you've never seen before.

00:48:05.860 I consider myself a very hard worker. You guys, I do this seven days a week. I can't keep up with him.

00:48:10.740 In fact, on this show, our specialty is to cover this in depth, knowing that we've worked on it for four years, etc.

00:48:19.700 It's so complicated just to keep up with it because it's so much.

00:48:23.860 And he's boom in the opposition. He broke Rachel Maddow. She had a nervous breakdown.

00:48:27.940 She's going back to the she's going back to the barn in Connecticut. She's done, done and dusted.

00:48:33.480 Which gets me back to the other element is the deconstruction of the administrative state in the destruction of the deep state.

00:48:43.820 And this is not getting the priority it needs to get.

00:48:49.480 That's where Ed Martin, Ed Martin's a battering ram. He's a battering ram.

00:48:53.920 When President Trump picked him in the early days, I go, oh, my God, what a brilliant pick for that for that billet and replace Graves, who was so awful.

00:49:04.700 You remember everything that came out of Graves, everything that came out of this U.S. attorney when you have.

00:49:11.780 Because with Rachel Maddow, excuse me, with Rachel Maddow gone.

00:49:16.820 Hayes is kind of her product.

00:49:18.980 They've got other people, but Hayes is her acolyte.

00:49:22.620 She created Chris Hayes.

00:49:24.360 So he'll be the light version.

00:49:26.320 He'll never be Rachel Maddow, but he lays it out.

00:49:29.600 He cannot get on this story more of Ed Martin.

00:49:35.480 Now, here's the heart of the story.

00:49:37.680 This is a Republican issue.

00:49:40.040 We control the Judiciary Committee and we control the Senate.

00:49:44.860 So this has nothing to do with Democrats.

00:49:46.920 This has to do, and yesterday you heard Tom Tillis, and my understanding is after you guys carpet bombed Tillis's office, upon further review, he's open.

00:50:00.700 But you've got others on the Judiciary Committee and including the beloved Senator Grassley.

00:50:05.940 So we're going to get organized today and then tomorrow.

00:50:10.580 But on Monday, we're going up.

00:50:12.720 This is getting ready to go fix bayonets on Ed Martin.

00:50:16.440 We've already done quasi, but they ain't seen nothing but we're prepared to do.

00:50:20.200 Because this is totally within control of yourself.

00:50:23.340 And this gets to the heart of what the problem has been.

00:50:28.660 And that is that the Republican Party is controlled opposition.

00:50:34.120 Controlled opposition.

00:50:35.840 The number of fighters you've got up there is a handful.

00:50:39.140 Don't let them come back and talk to you about everything they're doing.

00:50:41.940 The number of fighters you have in the House and the Senate, in this House a little bit more, maybe I'm at 25, 30, 35.

00:50:51.040 In the Senate, a handful, just a tiny handful.

00:50:54.860 And they can sit there and they can talk all the MAGA talk they want to talk.

00:50:58.760 They can talk all the populism.

00:51:00.220 They talk all the economic nationalism.

00:51:03.080 This is beyond talk.

00:51:04.360 This is action.

00:51:05.420 Where are you?

00:51:06.100 Are you standing in the breach?

00:51:10.180 Because Ed Martin is a blunt force instrument.

00:51:13.480 He's kind of a mini blunt force.

00:51:14.920 If Trump's the big blunt force instrument, this guy's a couple levels down.

00:51:19.220 But trust me, it's blunt and it's a force.

00:51:23.000 You got Raskin and Hayes are two smarter guys on the other side as they got.

00:51:28.700 Chris Hayes' show, they do not waste their time.

00:51:31.900 When they get something in the gun sights, they know it's important.

00:51:36.180 And they got brother Ed Martin in the gun sights.

00:51:40.940 Because they understand there's enough cowardice in the Republican Party to blink.

00:51:47.280 We cannot blink.

00:51:51.600 We cannot blink.

00:51:53.220 And there's still this amazing lack of urgency with this administrative and deep state.

00:52:00.560 I'm going to get into the administrative state and the Doge efforts about how hard it is to penetrate this.

00:52:09.860 Of how hard it is to smash it.

00:52:13.820 And the people like Ed Martin, they're prepared to step into the breach and say, hey, I'm all in.

00:52:20.140 Only a handful.

00:52:21.120 We have to have them back.

00:52:22.340 Okay, short commercial break.

00:52:52.260 War Room listeners know Jim Rickards.

00:52:53.940 I love this guy.

00:52:55.380 He's our wise man.

00:52:56.360 A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:53:02.500 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.

00:53:12.280 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.

00:53:19.880 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.

00:53:58.520 Hey, War Room.

00:53:59.540 Hope you're all doing well.

00:54:00.460 My name is Trevor Comstock.

00:54:02.080 I'm one of the co-creators of Sacred Human.

00:54:04.200 And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us yet.

00:54:08.560 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

00:54:18.860 So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

00:54:29.840 So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

00:54:38.120 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.

00:54:48.240 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

00:55:00.160 So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com, and cheers to your health!
