Bannon's War Room - Episode 4671： Making America Healthy Again; Chinese Surveillance In America

00:00:00.000 Well, Lyndon Johnson signed the legislation 60 years ago today, not far from here.

00:00:04.180 It is not just the ability to bring 60 of the top incumbents and insurgents in health technology,

00:00:09.860 hospital systems, insurance companies, electronic medical record companies, AI companies,

00:00:15.520 the big players, you're all here, and we appreciate that very much.

00:00:18.880 But, Mr. President, you used the power to convene.

00:00:21.140 That's fundamentally what I think the president has been able to offer us.

00:00:25.360 And Secretary Kennedy offered us as a group some examples, but there are more to come.

00:00:29.560 And I want to touch on some of these.

00:00:31.200 But first, I've got to do what doctors often have to do, which is to tell you the truth, even if you don't want to hear it.

00:00:37.100 So here goes.

00:00:38.360 These beautiful programs, which are the backbone of the social network, the social support system of this country, the safety net, they're flailing.

00:00:48.900 They're flailing for a bunch of reasons.

00:00:50.800 Medicaid is a unique entity.

00:00:52.380 It has deviated from its original purpose by drift and by design.

00:00:56.080 The one big, beautiful bill, the OB-3 law, was elegant for that very reason.

00:01:01.840 And the president, I don't know if you remember this, I can share this, but he called me once and he was upset at me because I was going too strident at something.

00:01:08.040 And he said, this is about fraud, waste, and abuse.

00:01:11.220 That's what we're interested in doing.

00:01:12.380 And that's exactly what the one big, beautiful bill accomplished, and it especially did it to save Medicaid by putting $200 billion more into it and allocating funds very specifically to use to support rural America.

00:01:25.220 And primarily, some of that money will be used to support digital infrastructure, which is terribly lacking in many parts of the country.

00:01:32.740 The money that's sent from Washington doesn't get to rural America.

00:01:36.200 About 7% of Medicaid dollars get to rural hospitals.

00:01:39.480 We now have an ability to infuse funds through this $50 billion rural health transformation fund into that system.

00:01:46.200 The gathering today is another example of how we can actually jumpstart that and accelerate it.

00:01:51.560 The other reality is COVID broke the system.

00:01:53.900 It did for many reasons.

00:01:55.260 Medicaid expenses went up 50% in five years.

00:01:57.860 There's Medicare, the trust fund that we met at actually Treasury with Secretary Bessett and Secretary Kennedy as trustees.

00:02:04.300 It goes bankrupt in 2033, and that is actually a conservative estimate.

00:02:08.460 It could go bankrupt as early as 2029.

00:02:11.260 Thankfully, due to the economy, that's not going to happen.

00:02:14.060 But we don't want to have to take that risk, and there's some fundamental changes we need to make accordingly.

00:02:18.960 Now, there's one other big reality about making the system more efficient, which is why what everyone here is talking about is so critical.

00:02:24.540 And let's just pick an average American born in 1964.

00:02:27.980 That average American born in 64 will retire this year at age 61.

00:02:32.800 If just that one group of people born in 64 could work three years longer because they're healthy, because they feel like they want to do it, because they feel vital and vigorous, and they're flourishing, just that one year working longer is a trillion dollars to the U.S. GDP, and it's $300 billion of tax revenue to pay for a lot of the problems that people are concerned about.

00:02:54.260 So it's not just keeping people out of the hospital, getting them to thrive and flourish that makes what we're doing so critical today.

00:03:01.420 I think there are a lot of realities to how health care has gone.

00:03:04.860 Unfortunately, this system is frozen, and it has been for many reasons, despite efforts in the first administration.

00:03:09.860 It's frozen in time, so it cannot address the quality lags that exist.

00:03:13.700 While Netflix and Airbnb and Uber drivers are racing ahead, making arrangements, identifying the problems that are challenging us in health care have become incredibly difficult.

00:03:24.600 You can't make appointments.

00:03:26.160 The average Americans are tired.

00:03:27.600 They're tired of waiting for a doctor's appointment.

00:03:29.860 They're tired of waiting for the surprise of what your hospital bill is going to offer.

00:03:33.900 That's being addressed by one of the president's executive orders.

00:03:36.420 They're tired of waiting for access to their medical records.

00:03:38.620 You own your medical records.

00:03:40.160 They're yours.

00:03:41.480 Why you can't have access to them is a stunning reality in modern-day America.

00:03:45.180 They're also tired of waiting for Washington to take action.

00:03:47.720 And this president early on emphatically stated that wasn't going to happen anymore, and today we made that vision into a reality.

00:03:54.320 And there's a fine line between vision and hallucination.

00:03:56.760 What you did today was show us a vision because you share it with us and we're moving ahead on it.

00:04:01.060 And that's what today's commitments essentially are reflecting.

00:04:03.840 And they are pledges.

00:04:05.120 They're not laws.

00:04:06.220 They're nimble and they're fast and they're quick because the president understands that you, each of you, in your own way, understand these needs.

00:04:13.060 And Secretary Kennedy spoke beautifully about the reality of what happens when you actually have electronic records.

00:04:18.200 Because what he said is happening in Indonesia, we'll have here. 1.00

00:04:20.560 Within a year, on your device, and 91% of Medicaid patients have smartphones.

00:04:26.640 On this device, you'll get insights based on your records if you want.

00:04:30.620 You don't have to take this.

00:04:31.900 But if you desire, Amy Gleason, who is one of the smartest people I've ever worked with, has built a mechanism to be able to get you that information in a way with all these partners helping.

00:04:40.560 So that you can get nudged to pay attention to what you're eating and avoid processed foods.

00:04:43.820 And Secretary Kennedy smartly and wisely highlighted is so dangerous to our well-being.

00:04:47.480 All this, by the way, is that we'll be at the fingertips.

00:04:50.060 In addition, advice about which doctor to see, when to go see them, nudges, reminding you why I didn't do certain things.

00:04:55.460 If you're a doctor, like me, it's a very different story.

00:04:58.740 It's to help you navigate the system better.

00:05:01.200 It's giving you advice, decision support, which is becoming increasingly important as medicine gets more difficult.

00:05:07.020 But I'll tell you the best thing of all.

00:05:08.440 How many of you have been with your doctor, telling them something heartfelt, very emotional, and they're looking to the side, typing into their computer?

00:05:15.740 Right?

00:05:16.020 It's common.

00:05:16.700 Put your hands up.

00:05:17.300 I just want to see it.

00:05:18.120 Yeah.

00:05:18.500 Most everybody.

00:05:19.580 That's unfortunate because the whole sacrament, the whole covenant of being with a doctor is having them look you in the eye.

00:05:25.860 And realize you're there for each other.

00:05:28.120 That process is going to go away.

00:05:30.320 We will, within the workflow of doctors, be able, with your help, allow physicians to take care of patients, gather the information while they're doing it,

00:05:37.300 and will destroy the upcoding that has hurt Medicare Advantage and other programs in a similar fashion.

00:05:43.760 The IT infrastructure that's going to change promises to improve a lot of things.

00:05:48.240 We're going to cut fraud, waste, and abuse.

00:05:49.640 Mr. President, we announced with the DOJ two weeks ago a $15 billion bust.

00:05:54.000 $15 billion.

00:05:55.160 It's a multinational criminal syndicate based primarily, we believe, in the Soviet Union, in Russia.

00:06:00.400 And what they did was hack using beneficiary numbers into the system.

00:06:04.380 We'll be able to stop that because of a system that Amy has put together and the wonderful work of Amy Brandt, who has a fraud war room,

00:06:11.380 using this kind of technology because we'll know who you are and who your doctor is.

00:06:15.000 We can block this.

00:06:16.260 We're going to have remarkable advances in how consumers can use their own records.

00:06:20.440 We'll have beneficiaries be able to get Maha advice and prevention tips and even be able to nudge them and reward them, perhaps, for that. 0.95

00:06:27.280 And all this comes back to one fundamental issue, Mr. President, which is leadership.

00:06:32.540 I think 60 people, the biggest, the best, the willing, came forward because of your leadership,

00:06:38.340 because you weren't going to take no for an answer, and they know it.

00:06:41.200 We are building a robust and safe, I emphasize that, safe system.

00:06:44.840 It's going to protect the data better than we could have imagined.

00:06:47.780 We're going to be able to accomplish goals that all of us wished from day one that would be in place.

00:06:53.500 These pledges are now confirmed.

00:06:54.920 They're signed in public, and you have, therefore, empowered Americans to own their property, which is their medical records.

00:07:02.940 Let me introduce Amy Gleason.

00:07:04.200 She is acting director of DOGE, U.S. Digital Service as well,

00:07:07.800 and was actually the brilliant woman who pulled together the pieces of this puzzle with so many members of the audience.

00:07:13.160 Amy Gleason.

00:07:21.580 Good afternoon.

00:07:22.500 First, I would like to thank President Trump for his leadership in this area, and Secretary Kennedy and Administrator Oz for driving this work with clarity and urgency.

00:07:33.100 I would also like to thank my colleagues who have been instrumental to this, and we've worked a lot of late nights and hard times on this,

00:07:39.100 and it would not have been possible without them.

00:07:40.860 I want to start today with my daughter, Morgan, who's here in the audience.

00:07:44.980 If you'd please stand up.

00:07:47.120 I am so inspired and energized by your strength every day, and we also have two other patients here, Randy and Tom, who have been very inspiring.

00:07:56.200 Thank you for being here today.

00:07:57.780 You're why this all matters.

00:08:00.120 Let me start talking about my daughter's history.

00:08:03.280 So, 15 years ago, she was diagnosed with a rare disease.

00:08:07.260 She was 11 years old, and she started showing mysterious symptoms.

00:08:11.200 Over the last year and a half after that, she saw the country's best doctors, but she still continued to get worse.

00:08:18.700 At some point, she couldn't stand up off the floor or walk up the stairs, and we still had no answers.

00:08:24.220 I carried a binder of paper records to every doctor's appointment so that I could keep them aligned.

00:08:30.660 And I truly believe that if one of those doctors had been able to see her whole history, they would have diagnosed her faster.

00:08:37.180 And if we had just had today's AI, then they could have connected the dots that the humans missed.

00:08:42.940 Today, Morgan takes 21 pills a day, gets two infusions a month, and has over 40 patient portals.

00:08:49.140 Her disease is very rare, but her experience, it's very common.

00:08:55.580 And that is what we're here to fix today.

00:08:58.200 Too many patients are forced to remember all the doctors that they've been to and log into portal after portal, repeating their story at every visit.

00:09:05.540 And they don't have the digital tools to help them stay well.

00:09:09.260 Meanwhile, every other part of our life is digital.

00:09:11.940 I can order groceries and have them delivered in minutes.

00:09:14.820 I get personalized recommendations on my other apps.

00:09:17.580 But in health care, we still see it on paper and manual situations.

00:09:21.920 But today, thanks to President Trump, we're changing that.

00:09:25.340 Over 15 years, we've tried to regulate our way to a better outcome.

00:09:29.480 And we have gotten a path forward.

00:09:32.140 But they have not delivered the modern health care experience that Americans expect and deserve.

00:09:36.620 I'm so proud today that these 60 companies have voluntarily stepped forward to make a pledge to take action and to join us to say, we're ready.

00:09:46.060 Let's fix this.

00:09:47.140 We're in.

00:09:48.320 We're trying something different.

00:09:50.080 It's not regulation or rulemaking.

00:09:52.180 This is a voluntary alignment around a shared vision, a commitment to work across boundaries, across competitors, and across silos.

00:09:59.120 We're bringing together data sharing, networks, electronic medical records, doctors, health systems, payers, and app developers.

00:10:08.060 And we're asking one simple question.

00:10:10.540 What can we do right now to make this work for patients?

00:10:14.820 The companies pledging today are agreeing to collaborate, even with their direct competitors, because they know we can't keep kicking the can down the road.

00:10:22.100 We have to stop talking about data interoperability and make the data flow.

00:10:27.880 Here's something important.

00:10:29.560 Not all patients will want these tools.

00:10:31.660 Some will rely on their caregivers, and others will rely on their doctors, so they don't have to carry it themselves.

00:10:38.180 But no matter how people engage, we must make sure it works for everyone.

00:10:42.860 CMS is doing its part.

00:10:44.520 We're clearing the path for innovation by building the long-overdue national provider directory,

00:10:49.180 a kind of digital map for health care that connects systems in real time and helps patients get more coordinated care.

00:10:56.200 We're also modernizing Medicare.gov to feel more seamless and smart, like other apps we use.

00:11:02.480 But the government can't do this and shouldn't do it alone.

00:11:05.920 These tools we need to make daily decisions must come from the private sector, and that's why this is so important.

00:11:11.540 So let me tell you what this might look like after our collaborative effort.

00:11:14.880 So Morgan, in six months from now, might show up to her doctor's appointment. 0.52

00:11:18.880 Instead of filling out a clipboard with her 21 medications, 12 doctors, and her entire medical history,

00:11:25.440 she can just pull out her phone and tap or scan a QR code and seamlessly transfer her digital insurance card,

00:11:32.180 her verified medical record, and a digital summary that could help her provider get up to speed faster.

00:11:37.940 We call this kill the clipboard, as President Trump said.

00:11:40.640 After the visit, Morgan opens her AI assistant, a tool that she has authorized to access her records,

00:11:47.100 and asks, what did the doctor say today?

00:11:49.300 What did these results mean?

00:11:51.240 What should I watch for now?

00:11:53.620 And the assistant responds using her actual health history, explains her care plan in plain language,

00:11:59.220 helps her track her symptoms, and even schedules follow-up visits if she needs them.

00:12:02.900 And lastly, she has a new favorite app that helps her manage her chronic conditions.

00:12:08.080 Because for years, Morgan has said what other patients say,

00:12:11.560 I only see a doctor a few days a year, but I live with this disease every day.

00:12:16.920 Today, we're starting with apps that can support patients 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.

00:12:22.420 They don't replace doctors.

00:12:24.000 They just fill in the gap between visits so that care is continuous and not episodic.

00:12:29.460 So what makes this effort different?

00:12:31.140 Today, we have all these apps that want to provide these services,

00:12:35.160 but they can't get the data because it is so hard for patients to access their records.

00:12:39.660 But today, we have 18 network companies who are here pledging to fix the infrastructure that makes this possible.

00:12:46.420 They're doing this through modern data sharing networks that removes the burden on patients and providers

00:12:51.460 and makes it available in real time using modern identity, just like when you check in at the airport.

00:12:57.500 These honor patient privacy and transparency,

00:12:59.620 and most importantly, it's a movement to work together to remove the friction that's holding us back.

00:13:06.560 Because access to information shouldn't be a luxury.

00:13:09.440 It should be a standard.

00:13:11.180 So for all the Morgans out there, come join this movement with us at CMS.gov. 0.91

00:13:15.960 Let's kill the clipboard and ask the facts.

00:13:18.920 Let's help make health tech great again.

00:13:21.340 Or in this case, maybe it's for the first time.

00:13:23.420 Thank you, President Trump.

00:13:25.660 Thank you.

00:13:25.920 Thank you.

00:13:26.420 Thank you.

00:13:27.000 Thank you.

00:13:27.420 Thank you very much.

00:13:38.280 That was great.

00:13:39.060 Hello.

00:13:40.120 You look very, very healthy to me.

00:13:42.020 You look really great.

00:13:43.440 So just I want to thank all of the companies that are here.

00:13:47.120 These are big names, great, great people.

00:13:51.320 And now you're doing something that's so important for our country, really for the world.

00:13:56.560 It's beyond our country, I suspect.

00:13:58.200 It's really for the world.

00:13:59.580 So just keep it up.

00:14:00.640 And you've hit new highs almost virtually every day for the last few months.

00:14:07.160 And that makes your job probably a little bit easier.

00:14:10.800 You're under very little stress.

00:14:13.280 But someday you might have a little bit, but you're not going to have much.

00:14:16.700 I think we're really going to great heights.

00:14:18.600 But I just want to thank everybody, political people and the teachers and the companies and all of our cabinet.

00:14:26.780 I even see Newt.

00:14:27.940 Do I see Newt?

00:14:28.680 I've seen Newt.

00:14:29.260 Look at him.

00:14:29.820 He's such a handsome man.

00:14:31.280 He's a healthy man.

00:14:32.540 We don't have to do any tests on him.

00:14:35.220 But good to see you, Newt.

00:14:37.420 But I just want to thank everybody.

00:14:39.020 This is a very big undertaking, and it's a very serious undertaking.

00:14:42.760 It's going to make a lot of people lead a much better life.

00:14:45.880 Thank you all very much for coming.

00:14:47.280 Appreciate it.

00:14:47.960 Thank you.

00:14:48.320 Thank you.

00:14:50.540 Thank you.

00:14:51.600 Can I call you about MSN?

00:14:53.600 Yeah.

00:14:54.180 Can we start the...

00:14:59.260 You are in the war room.

00:15:03.920 It's Wednesday, July 30th in the year of our Lord 2025.

00:15:08.620 That's President Donald J. Trump alongside David Sachs and Dr. Mehmet Oz talking about all the advancements they're going to be doing when it comes to healthcare technology.

00:15:19.200 And, of course, Doge Administrator Amy Gleason.

00:15:23.340 We were going to have Steve join us, but he is busy.

00:15:27.200 He's out on assignments.

00:15:28.220 Natalie Winter's hosting today.

00:15:30.160 We've got a packed show where we're going to go through everything involving the Texas redistricting, the latest with the AI push, and some other stuff.

00:15:38.960 I think we've got Representative Brian Harrison joining us down the line, who I think you're fresh off, what was it, about a seven-minute session where all you guys did was vote to adjourn until Monday.

00:15:52.320 Obviously, the Texas redistricting map is five netted seats for Republicans.

00:15:56.800 Democrats are doing everything they can to sabotage that.

00:16:00.300 Let's start from square one, if you can sort of walk us through this map, what it means, and what Democrats and establishment Republicans are doing to really make sure that these victories don't actually materialize.

00:16:12.360 Yeah, well, I'll go all the way back to the beginning.

00:16:14.300 First of all, Natalie, it's great to be with you.

00:16:16.060 Yeah, this is the type of thing we should have done, quite frankly, during the regular session.

00:16:19.780 President Trump has asked the state of Texas to redistrict so that we can – and I agree with him.

00:16:24.140 I agree with the president strongly.

00:16:25.280 I agree with him.

00:16:55.280 As you mentioned, we were on the Texas House floor.

00:16:57.600 Our floor session today lasted seven minutes, and the only thing we did was vote for another five-day weekend.

00:17:03.880 So we will not be back on the floor until Monday when the special session is over 50 percent over without the bill being on the floor of the Texas House.

00:17:14.840 And unfortunately, the Texas House, the leadership, the corrupt rhinos that control the Texas House, they have basically done everything they can to make it look like they're happy to support the Democrats' efforts to thwart the president's agenda. 0.98

00:17:28.840 They stacked the redistricting committee itself with the most radical left-wing Democrats the Texas House has, including the chairman of the House Democrat caucus, who has already pledged to do everything he can, including break quorum, if that's what it takes to thwart the president's agenda and stop us from redistricting down here in Texas.

00:17:48.920 So I'll just say the most simple facts for your audience to understand.

00:17:53.000 The rhinos, the liberal uniparty that controls the Austin swamp, their favorite thing to do is to blame the Democrats, and the Democrats are threatening to break quorum, and that's going to be how maybe this is defeated.

00:18:03.760 Let me be really simple.

00:18:04.640 If the elected Republican leadership in the state of Texas wants to redistrict and deliver for not just President Trump, but for Republicans all across this country, we will succeed if the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker want them to.

00:18:17.460 We have all the tools available to force the Democrats to stay.

00:18:21.380 For example, why did he adjourn today just to let the Democrats go, oh, your audience is going to love this.

00:18:26.380 Why did we adjourn today?

00:18:27.660 Where are the Democrats, the House Democrats going as we speak to meet with Hakeem Jeffries, who flew down here from Washington, D.C., to huddle up with the Texas House Democrats?

00:18:37.420 Because Hakeem Jeffries, Democrats all over the country, they know that the future of America is quite literally on the line.

00:18:43.920 And I think it's past time that elected Republicans in Texas get with the program and start acting like it.

00:18:50.420 Look, we're always down to make people famous in the war room.

00:18:53.360 If you want to mention any of these people by name, I'm sure Rossi would love to pile in and make some very respectful and well-argued, well-reasoned phone calls.

00:19:02.660 But can you just sort of walk us through, I'm even curious behind closed doors, the sort of, you know, winding pitch that you must hear from your RINO colleagues as to how they could even justify, again, something that's not controversial.

00:19:14.320 It's a redistricting map that's not automatically granting or saying that these districts are going to flip MAGA, just that they're going to flip red.

00:19:21.120 What is their case?

00:19:23.820 Yeah, we certainly have a point.

00:19:25.000 Just because there's an elected Republican gets elected, that certainly doesn't mean they're any kind of a bold pro-liberty conservative or support towards the president.

00:19:32.800 That's certainly true.

00:19:33.820 But, no, the case is the same thing they always say.

00:19:36.400 You know, oh, guys, you've got to be quiet.

00:19:38.320 You know, let's not be assertive here.

00:19:39.980 Let's not be bold.

00:19:40.860 Let's not be loud about this.

00:19:43.040 Meanwhile, the Democrats are literally holding rallies all across the state of Texas with 5,000 people plus at these rallies.

00:19:50.380 And the Texas House and the Texas Senate held hearings.

00:19:52.940 I think six total hearings on redistricting were almost 100 percent of the priority witnesses were Democrats opposed to the Republican agenda, opposed to the president's agenda.

00:20:06.540 I mean, it's beyond the pale outrageous.

00:20:09.060 I mean, I'm happy to be with you.

00:20:10.100 I'm very grateful for Steve and you and the posse and everybody else who's sounding the alarm, not just in Texas, but coast to coast.

00:20:16.400 But, I mean, the sad reality is I'm one of the very few elected Republicans in the Texas government that has been boldly calling for this.

00:20:22.580 I mean, the silence for most elected Republicans here in the Texas House has been staggering.

00:20:29.180 I don't understand it.

00:20:30.320 We need to understand.

00:20:31.740 It's about time that Republicans fight as hard for the future of our state and our country as the radical Democrats do.

00:20:39.920 And that's what I'm trying to do down here by sounding the alarm that we've got some trouble in paradise.

00:20:43.840 And just walk us through a little bit more the sort of one-two punch that you think they could deliver to actually, I guess, maybe block this redistricting, particularly on the Democrat side.

00:20:56.940 You're saying, I believe, what was it, in 2021, the last time that they left the state to deny quorum.

00:21:04.780 Like you said, the session is basically halfway over.

00:21:08.000 But what would Democrats need to do in order to give, you know, your rhino counterparts the political cover to say, oh, well, we just want to play nice? 0.94

00:21:17.120 Right.

00:21:17.480 It's the oldest trick in the book.

00:21:19.180 The rhinos act like, oh, guys, we tried as hard as we could.

00:21:22.300 But you know what?

00:21:22.860 Those pesky Democrats, they thwarted our, you know, our pro-Trump, pro-Republican agenda.

00:21:27.780 Let me explain really what's going on here and the tools that they have.

00:21:30.960 So under the Texas Constitution, we have a quorum requirement in the Texas House.

00:21:36.060 We have 150 total members in the House of Representatives.

00:21:39.880 100 people have to be here to constitute a quorum.

00:21:43.220 We have 88 Republicans.

00:21:45.400 So we need to have a handful of Democrats to show up. 0.93

00:21:48.500 And unfortunately, there is a track record.

00:21:50.560 There's precedence for this.

00:21:51.720 You mentioned it.

00:21:52.260 In 2021, when we were simply trying to pass an election integrity bill, quite frankly, one that wasn't even that strong,

00:21:58.240 the Democrats fled to Washington, D.C. and camped out with Nancy Pelosi to try and keep us from passing a simple election integrity measure that the people of Texas overwhelmingly supported.

00:22:10.740 So there's precedent for this.

00:22:11.940 And unfortunately, the precedent involves the fact that Democrats are never punished when they break quorum.

00:22:18.240 And so that's why I want to get like the big truth, the big, you know, sort of most important thing that I want to drive home is that one of the RINO's favorite tactics is to blame the Democrats for doing what they really want to do, but they don't want to be blamed for it.

00:22:34.640 So I just want to say this as many times as I can.

00:22:36.860 The Republicans in the Texas House, from the governor on down, lieutenant governor and speaker, we have all the tools available to us to force the Democrats to stay.

00:22:46.520 If they flee the state of Texas, for example, the governor can declare their seat vacant and call for a special election.

00:22:53.680 The speaker can guarantee their bills never moved.

00:22:55.420 They can be stripped of committee assignments.

00:22:57.520 They can have their budget cuts.

00:22:58.600 They can have their staff cuts, their chairmanships.

00:23:01.040 Yes, Democrats have chairmanships in the Texas House, as shocking as that is.

00:23:04.500 Their chairmanships can be revoked.

00:23:06.320 And quite frankly, we had a quorum, as you mentioned, just 30 minutes ago.

00:23:10.760 There was no reason for the speaker to even have to let them leave.

00:23:13.920 He could say, you know what?

00:23:14.780 You're here.

00:23:15.380 We've got quorum.

00:23:16.220 We're closing the doors.

00:23:17.320 We're going to take up this redistricting matter, and we are not going to let you leave until we deliver for the conservative voters of the state of Texas who fully support this.

00:23:26.860 So there are lots of tools available to make sure that the Democrats are not able to pull their usual stunt of breaking quorum, and it's as simple as this.

00:23:36.040 If the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker want redistricting to happen, it will happen.

00:23:40.500 If they do not want it to happen, then it will not happen, and they will probably try to blame the Democrats.

00:23:45.120 But I want to take that card away from the liberal uniparty rhino establishment here in the city of Austin. 0.98

00:23:53.080 And I'd argue one of the most effective and probably feared tools you have at your disposal is, of course, the intrepid war room posse.

00:24:01.260 Give us a few minutes on how they can be of assistance.

00:24:03.120 They're not fans of y'all.

00:24:04.120 They don't know how to break this to you.

00:24:05.380 The uniparty doesn't like you.

00:24:06.480 And that's a badge of honor.

00:24:09.060 We'll take that proudly.

00:24:10.660 But who should they be calling?

00:24:12.500 What's the number?

00:24:13.240 Are their names?

00:24:14.080 Give us a little script of people, you know, in-state, out-of-state.

00:24:17.180 Let us know how we can help.

00:24:18.800 Well, it's real simple.

00:24:19.440 So the Speaker of the Texas House is a rhino named Dustin Burroughs. 0.67

00:24:22.980 He's nominally a Republican, but he was literally elected by the Democrat caucus in the Texas House.

00:24:30.160 So if Democrats, you know, fly the coop here, it is on him for allowing them to do it.

00:24:38.900 And the posse should basically let everybody know, the governor, you know, Governor Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Patrick, Speaker Dustin Burroughs, the president, the United States of America, and the overwhelming majority of the voters in the great state of Texas are looking to you.

00:24:53.300 Now is the time for bold conservative leadership and to let them know that we're on to you.

00:24:58.640 We're on to the usual games and let them know that the voters of Texas know, that the posse knows they have the power to get redistricting done.

00:25:08.860 We know they've already made the decision to completely burn the first half of the special session.

00:25:13.720 We know they've given Democrats all of the airtime.

00:25:16.360 They basically turned the Texas Capitol into DNC television for the last week or so with all these completely ridiculous, you know, Democrat scripted hearings.

00:25:26.300 But let them know we're looking to you and failure is not an option.

00:25:32.080 The future of the republic is on the line.

00:25:34.200 We need to get this redistricting done.

00:25:36.220 We need to get it done now.

00:25:37.780 And you've got the power to deliver.

00:25:42.140 Indeed, Representative Harrison, if you want to follow, you keep up to date with with everything you've got going on.

00:25:47.800 You're one of the few good ones, which is mind boggling that I can say that and have it apply to the wonderful state of Texas.

00:25:53.680 It makes no sense, right?

00:25:55.400 Heartbreaking.

00:25:56.080 I'm from California, so I particularly envy you being able to say you're from Texas.

00:25:59.460 No, no, nobody was.

00:26:00.020 I mean, nothing in the world could have.

00:26:02.020 No, nothing in the world could have.

00:26:03.440 I served as a senior member of President Trump's first administration and nothing in the world could have prepared me for the shock of learning how completely liberal the, you know, all supposedly Republican government of the great state of my beloved state of Texas is.

00:26:17.080 But, yeah, no, people should, if they want to go and follow me on social media, on X, at Brian E. Harrison, please go follow, like, share, at Brian E. Harrison on X, Brian E. Harrison, because the liberal media in Austin doesn't tell you the truth.

00:26:33.480 The liberal media in the state of Texas doesn't tell you the truth, and the national media certainly is not telling you the truth.

00:26:37.960 So I post videos, updates, vote sheets from the floor almost every single day, usually many times a day.

00:26:44.040 So if anybody's wanting the truth, not the, you know, the Democrats' mouthpiece in the media, but if they want the truth about what's going on down here in the great state of Texas, please follow me on X, at Brian E. Harrison.

00:26:55.040 And I just want to say how grateful I am to the posse.

00:26:56.880 We've been able to deliver a few victories over the past few months because of the posse phoning in, blowing up the phone lines and the social media of the rhinos down here in Austin.

00:27:04.420 So you guys are just an incredible asset to the fight to preserve liberty in Texas and America.

00:27:10.040 The posse is the best, and so are you, sir.

00:27:12.040 Thank you so much for joining us.

00:27:13.280 We'll have you back on soon.

00:27:14.660 Great to be with you, Natalie.

00:27:15.600 God bless.

00:27:17.480 There's always something kind of sick, I think, about Democrats salivating and relishing over the idea of them turning Texas blue.

00:27:25.020 They like to say it's because of their wonderful policies and the vision that they put forth, but in reality, we know it's just about immigration and demography, and that's why they want to keep the borders so open and porous down there so they can import their new wave and generation of voters.

00:27:39.060 And I guess the establishment Republicans will probably be the ones helping to weld those floodgates open. 0.53

00:27:44.260 I believe that literally happened under President, I guess, President Autopend, but President Biden.

00:27:50.340 We've got a few minutes.

00:27:51.160 We're going to be joined by Douglas Mackey's lawyer.

00:27:53.780 I'm sure you guys are familiar with that case in former Doge lawyer James Burnham after the break.

00:27:58.000 But shortly, I want to go to Trevor Comstock real quick with Sacred Human Health.

00:28:01.900 Trevor, you guys always have new Maha products on.

00:28:05.320 We were just watching a nice new Maha initiative being rolled out by the Trump administration.

00:28:10.100 Hit us with the latest that you guys have going on over there.

00:28:13.700 Yeah, thank you, Natalie.

00:28:14.500 Appreciate it.

00:28:15.500 And real quick, we do have some exciting stuff rolling out a little bit later this week, so I'll come back on to share that.

00:28:21.140 But for today, I just wanted to quickly highlight our second most popular product, which is our multi-collagen.

00:28:27.420 And we've been having some really great feedback, a lot through reviews and just emails.

00:28:32.140 We've been getting a lot of success that people have been having with it.

00:28:35.060 But while I'm here, I just figured I'd share a little bit about it.

00:28:38.820 But most people don't realize that collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, and it's what keeps your skin firm, your joints flexible, as well as your hair and nails strong.

00:28:47.300 But after the age of 25, natural collagen production does begin to diminish or at least slow down over time.

00:28:54.340 So over time, this can lead to common signs of aging like wrinkles, weaker joints, as well as digestive issues.

00:29:00.960 So collagen also just plays a huge role in maintaining overall health, yet unfortunately, modern diets really don't provide enough of it.

00:29:08.500 So that's why supplementing with a high-quality collagen source can be extremely beneficial.

00:29:12.740 So if you are looking to support healthy aging, skin hydration, healthier joints, et cetera, our collagen is an amazing product.

00:29:22.340 And we also give you types of one through five collagen, so you can get the full spectrum, so we don't jib you on that.

00:29:28.280 But yeah, I won't go on for too long.

00:29:30.280 You can always check out our reviews and all of our information on our site at SincredHumanHealth.com.

00:29:35.480 Or just type in Sacred Human to Google, it'll pop up.

00:29:38.100 And also make sure to use code GOLUM for 10% off any one-time purchase.

00:29:42.740 We got you covered there.

00:29:45.080 Thank you, sir, for joining us.

00:29:46.360 We'll have you back on soon.

00:29:48.140 And while you're out at Warren Posse, we'll obviously love to thank our sponsors.

00:29:55.460 James Burnham after this short break.

00:29:57.140 Don't go anywhere.

00:29:59.900 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.

00:30:04.780 The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia,

00:30:09.920 are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:30:15.880 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

00:30:18.780 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, 0.57

00:30:23.740 bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:30:26.980 While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:30:32.840 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively

00:30:38.840 from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:33:07.240 You're back in the war room.

00:33:09.740 We are joined now by James Burnham.

00:33:12.440 You've worn a lot of hats.

00:33:13.740 You were in Trump's first term over at the DOJ.

00:33:15.900 You were the Doge super lawyer.

00:33:18.000 You've got a new kind of AI policy council aimed at combating the Chinese Communist Party,

00:33:24.380 which we're going to get into.

00:33:26.300 But you're also involved with a case that our audience, I think, has been following for

00:33:30.480 a very long time.

00:33:32.300 Obviously, very good news on that front with regard to wonderful meme poster, Doug Mackey.

00:33:38.980 And I would think that Doug would want absolutely nothing to do with the United States court system

00:33:44.100 after what happened to him.

00:33:45.280 But it seems like you are intervening or helping him on his behalf to get some, shall we say,

00:33:51.040 retribution.

00:33:51.980 We like to use the term justice or accountability here in the war room because they're the ones

00:33:56.520 that committed the crimes.

00:33:57.900 But on his behalf, you guys are trying to, I guess, maybe in legal terms, seek damages or

00:34:02.400 something in that capacity against the Biden regime, the DOJ particularly, for what they did to him.

00:34:08.100 I know our audience is really passionate about this.

00:34:10.720 Can you sort of bring us up to speed on what you're doing with Doug?

00:34:15.280 Yeah, absolutely.

00:34:16.300 And thanks, Natalie, for having me on War Room.

00:34:18.400 It's great.

00:34:18.740 It's really great to be here.

00:34:19.920 So just to catch everyone back up on what happened to Doug.

00:34:23.140 So Doug was just a regular person who thought Hillary Clinton would not make a very good president,

00:34:28.660 like it turns out most people in the country thought.

00:34:31.260 And one of the ways he sort of expressed that is he liked posting memes.

00:34:35.500 So in the run-up to the 2016 election, he posted a joke meme that said, if you want to vote

00:34:40.520 for Hillary, text your vote to this number. 0.98

00:34:42.980 Like, obviously a joke.

00:34:44.020 Everyone knows you don't vote by texting.

00:34:45.940 He's just a self-described Twitter troll.

00:34:48.700 So he puts the meme up, whatever, goes to bed, thinks that's the end of it.

00:34:52.480 President Trump wins the election.

00:34:54.240 That's the end of that.

00:34:55.400 Well, it turns out that when he put up the meme, the Hillary Clinton campaign went crazy and

00:35:00.240 started sending this to all kinds of people and some people at the Justice Department in

00:35:04.020 the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, which is where her campaign was headquartered, not

00:35:08.600 the U.S. Attorney's Office where Doug lived, the one where the campaign was headquartered,

00:35:12.080 started investigating Doug for what's called a conspiracy to violate civil rights.

00:35:16.660 I kid you not.

00:35:17.340 The conspiracy to violate civil rights statute, just to give you a sense, is the post-Civil

00:35:21.840 War statute that was passed for, like, the Ku Klux Klan showing up and barricading voting

00:35:27.340 sites, intimidating voters, violent obstruction, you know, crazy things, not putting memes

00:35:32.920 on X.

00:35:34.140 So he puts up the meme.

00:35:35.540 They do the investigation two days into the Biden administration.

00:35:39.460 Two days.

00:35:40.180 They waited out the entirety of the Trump administration.

00:35:43.320 Doug was arrested in New York by armed agents.

00:35:46.380 Something like 10 FBI agents, by the way, totally unusual in a nonviolent case, even a real

00:35:53.000 nonviolent case.

00:35:53.880 This, of course, is a fake case.

00:35:55.560 They don't do arrests.

00:35:56.540 They let you come in and self-report.

00:35:59.400 So this is already law enforcement theater to try to intimidate Doug and to send a message.

00:36:04.300 They arrested him two days into Biden for the memes he put up about Hillary Clinton.

00:36:08.020 Doug had to go to trial.

00:36:09.200 They dragged him to a trial in Brooklyn.

00:36:11.360 He was convicted, of course, because it's a Brooklyn jury.

00:36:15.240 You know, what would you expect?

00:36:16.260 It's a lot like what happens in D.C. with a lot of cases I'm sure the war room posse is

00:36:20.440 familiar with here in Washington.

00:36:22.220 He gets convicted.

00:36:23.640 And then he has to appeal.

00:36:24.740 And thank God, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals saw the light and they threw out the conviction

00:36:30.060 about two weeks ago.

00:36:31.540 Interesting side note, Doug was represented in his appeal by a lawyer named Yakov Roth, who

00:36:35.880 actually works for the president now in the Justice Department.

00:36:38.940 So A.G.

00:36:40.000 Bondi and the president have clearly brought the right people in because they have the guy who

00:36:44.000 defended Doug now in here at the Justice Department defending the president, trying to clean the

00:36:48.120 place up.

00:36:48.780 So that's where we are.

00:36:50.080 So Doug has now been acquitted by the court.

00:36:52.540 The case is over on the criminal side or will be in about a week.

00:36:55.800 And the question now, of course, is what's next?

00:36:57.580 And I agree with you, Natalie.

00:36:58.680 The most important thing is justice and accountability.

00:37:01.660 So justice for Doug has two pieces.

00:37:03.660 The first piece is going to be trying to make things right for Doug.

00:37:07.260 I mean, the government, his own government, it's crazy to think this could happen in the

00:37:10.420 United States, ruined his life for years because he tweeted a meme, which is crazy.

00:37:16.180 And so, you know, money and things like that can never really make it right.

00:37:19.600 They can never replace the weddings that he missed.

00:37:22.300 He had to be sentenced around the time of the birth of his child.

00:37:24.940 So he had to sit in court instead of playing with his baby.

00:37:27.820 I mean, horrible things that nothing could ever make right.

00:37:30.300 But we're going to make it as right as we possibly can.

00:37:33.120 And the way that works is we file a claim with the Justice Department itself.

00:37:36.880 Fortunately, it's the Trump Justice Department, not the Biden Justice Department.

00:37:40.260 And so we're optimistic that they're going to agree with us that this was a horrible

00:37:43.640 violation of Doug's civil rights.

00:37:45.520 And we'll be able to sort of make that work for Doug relatively quickly.

00:37:49.620 The second part of justice for Doug is holding accountable the people that did this to him.

00:37:53.760 And that's something we're still trying to be creative and think through how to do it.

00:37:56.660 I mean, there's a lot of potential options.

00:37:58.160 There's misconduct complaints.

00:38:00.540 There's things that the Justice Department now can do.

00:38:03.220 You know, one of the things we don't know is exactly how this all happened.

00:38:06.640 And we obviously have our theories and the timeline that I described.

00:38:10.060 It's not hard to see what probably happened here.

00:38:12.100 But this is the kind of thing that needs to really be investigated, kind of like the Russia,

00:38:15.840 Russia, Russia thing that has been investigated and still being investigated.

00:38:19.580 We need to figure out what exactly happened to Doug here and then hold the people that did

00:38:23.260 this to him accountable.

00:38:24.400 And that's something that I and Doug plan to commit significant time to, because the

00:38:29.920 most important thing, Natalie, I think, and for everybody that's watching right now, you

00:38:34.140 know, this can never happen again in the United States.

00:38:36.420 You have a First Amendment right to post memes.

00:38:38.560 You have a First Amendment right to make fun of politicians.

00:38:41.380 It is the country was founded on making fun of politicians.

00:38:44.600 And we need to make sure that this never happens to anybody else again, so that what happened

00:38:49.280 to Doug, so that Doug's sacrifice is not totally, totally wasted.

00:38:53.900 Well, and it's certainly a unique way, if not, I think, kind of setting a precedent for, you

00:38:59.140 know, these rogue actors within the DOJ.

00:39:01.240 For all we know, they could have been the careers.

00:39:03.600 They're probably more likely the politicals, though it's harder to differentiate between the

00:39:07.460 two, probably under Joe Biden.

00:39:08.740 But that they can't get away, and like you said, they can't do this again to any America

00:39:13.160 for something as simple as posting memes.

00:39:14.880 Before we pivot to the other topic I want to discuss with you, I'm just curious, from

00:39:19.180 start to finish of Doug's whole saga, was there ever any Democrat, you know, probably a middle

00:39:26.280 of the road one, who reached out to him or who's working with you guys now, has extended,

00:39:31.240 you know, apologies or an interest for all the talk that we hear about, you know, criminal

00:39:34.740 justice reform coming from that side, has there been any olive branches extended to him from

00:39:39.920 the Democratic side of the party?

00:39:42.200 So, you know, I would need to ask Doug to do a comprehensive accounting, but I know that

00:39:46.100 Senator Klobuchar was talking about his case when it was brought and calling Doug, you know,

00:39:50.960 Russian disinformation, master disinformation, you know, very negative, nasty comments. 0.65

00:39:56.140 Hillary Clinton, of course, made the ridiculous claim on television that Doug was responsible 0.64

00:40:00.760 for thousands of people not being able to vote.

00:40:02.920 That is totally made up.

00:40:04.300 There is no evidence of that.

00:40:06.060 Obviously, it's not true because Doug, I mean, the Twitter avatar, as I recall, had a MAGA

00:40:10.520 hat.

00:40:11.280 So I don't think a lot of Hillary Clinton voters were looking to the Ricky Vaughn Twitter handle

00:40:16.840 for advice on how to vote, even if they were still in...

00:40:19.300 It was a very authoritative picture.

00:40:20.820 I'll give him that, but...

00:40:22.600 It is a great picture.

00:40:23.740 Probably not for the audience, the Hillary Clinton audience.

00:40:28.140 And so, no, but there is one thing, you know, one thing, one person I do want to give

00:40:31.880 some credit to, on the three-judge panel in the Second Circuit, there were two Bush appointees

00:40:36.720 and one Biden appointee.

00:40:38.360 And I don't have the names at my fingertips, but that appointee from, you know, for President

00:40:42.780 Biden deserves credit, I think, for having the wisdom and the fortitude to say, you know,

00:40:47.200 this is not the law in this country, and this is not a proper conviction, and this has to

00:40:51.820 be thrown out.

00:40:52.280 They won the case 3-0, no dissent, and so I am grateful that at least the court system

00:40:58.580 was able to right this injustice, at least that much for Doug.

00:41:04.400 And James, pivoting to, you're a very busy guy.

00:41:07.240 The other thing you got going on, you just launched a new kind of AI policy council.

00:41:12.100 I think I had mentioned that you worked in President Trump's first term over at the

00:41:16.600 DOJ, obviously, the AI, you know, kind of sweeping policy orders, the EOs they got coming

00:41:22.340 out on that front.

00:41:23.520 The War Room Posse, I'm sure you know Bannon, is a little more skeptical, maybe AI skeptic,

00:41:28.760 AI curious at best, AI skeptic at worst.

00:41:31.900 That's probably not the worst.

00:41:33.620 But you have sort of a niche angle, particularly using AI to combat or at least try to maintain

00:41:40.980 dominance over the Chinese Communist Party in that obviously very important sphere.

00:41:46.260 I just wanted to bring you on for a few minutes to sort of maybe make your pitch to our audience

00:41:50.080 about why you think what you're doing over there is so important from kind of a national

00:41:55.460 security perspective pertaining to China.

00:41:58.360 Yeah, so we launched last week.

00:42:00.520 It's called the AI Innovation Council.

00:42:03.040 And my goal is to sort of promote what I think is really the president's vision of an

00:42:08.200 America first AI policy.

00:42:10.360 So, you know, AI policies that encourage, look, whether AI should exist or not, the Chinese 1.00

00:42:15.760 are going to build the best, most lethal, most killer AI possible.

00:42:19.720 And I'm with the president in thinking that we need to build the best AI in the world here

00:42:23.400 in the United States.

00:42:24.500 We need to use American workers. 0.99

00:42:26.100 We need to have American investment.

00:42:27.680 We need to have American engineers doing this kind of work. 0.75

00:42:30.540 The president gave a great speech last week at the AI summit that the White House organized

00:42:35.300 with David Sachs and the all-in folks, where he basically laid out a vision of American

00:42:40.040 dominance in the space on one condition.

00:42:42.280 And I think this is very important.

00:42:43.940 He said, look, guys, I'm going to promote investment.

00:42:46.420 I'm going to promote technological advances.

00:42:49.060 I want America to always be the dominant country in the world.

00:42:52.280 But guys, you're building it here.

00:42:54.460 OK, so we're not we're not going to have you building all these things in China.

00:42:57.320 We're not going to have you importing a bunch of people from other countries to do all of 0.94

00:43:00.940 the work.

00:43:01.420 This is an American industry.

00:43:02.840 And just like we won World War Two by putting Americans to work, building ships and guns 0.98

00:43:07.580 and airplanes, we're going to put Americans to work on this important thing, too, and

00:43:12.140 building this technology.

00:43:13.240 And so, look, we're just here to support the president.

00:43:15.740 And I just thought it was important that some people who'd worked for him and who believe

00:43:19.320 in his vision for the country in a sort of golden age get on the field and try to make

00:43:23.480 the case and engage in the debate in a way that is totally aligned with, you know, I know

00:43:27.760 Steve a bit from the first Trump administration in a way that I think is aligned with his

00:43:31.140 vision, which is a dominant, great American country where great companies are staffed

00:43:36.100 by and run by Americans.

00:43:38.960 It's it's the new arms race.

00:43:41.100 We'll have to have you back on because I want to get into the NVIDIA chip, the whole export

00:43:44.760 control situation there, because I don't know how you quite square what is it, sending

00:43:49.840 over the H20 or whatever chips to China.

00:43:53.320 But but like I said, we'll have you back on to get into that.

00:43:56.240 I know it's a very hot button topic that the war and policy is very animated about.

00:44:00.380 In the meantime, if the audience has questions to get involved on either the Doug side of

00:44:07.340 things or the AI side of things, where can they go to either follow you or reach out and

00:44:12.160 stay up to date with everything you're working on?

00:44:14.020 For Doug, you can follow him on X at Doug Mackey Case.

00:44:16.880 That's his handle.

00:44:17.800 There's a link in there to donate to support him and to support his family, which I strongly

00:44:21.380 encourage everyone to do.

00:44:22.720 For the AI Policy Council, we're on the Internet, AI Policy Council.

00:44:25.680 You can also follow me on X at at burnhamdc.com, B-U-R-N-H-A-M-D-C. 0.99

00:44:31.460 The links are there, too.

00:44:32.700 And I'd love to hear from everybody.

00:44:34.480 The DMs are open, as they say.

00:44:38.200 Indeed, they are.

00:46:31.220 We'll be right back after this short break.

00:46:35.960 According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000% over the next few

00:46:41.000 years.

00:46:41.300 It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers.

00:46:46.160 We talk about that all the time here in the War Room.

00:46:49.060 And we have a fragile power grid.

00:46:51.060 It just cannot keep up with that demand.

00:46:53.300 I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day.

00:46:57.640 That's why I got the Grid Doctor 3300 from my patron supply.

00:47:02.480 It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything

00:47:48.840 Bannon.

00:47:49.200 You're back in the war room where, of course, you got to be checking out hometidalock.com.

00:47:56.100 Promo code Steve, the million-dollar triple lock protection, 14-day free trial.

00:48:01.740 A lot of words.

00:48:07.000 And speaking of safety, keeping the country safe, this is a wonderful video.

00:48:10.440 I showed it to Steve.

00:48:11.820 He loved it.

00:48:12.320 We thought it was important enough to air it for you guys in full.

00:48:15.880 Seriously, don't go anywhere.

00:48:17.420 About what sort of a preemptive attack coming from the Chinese Communist Party, particularly

00:48:21.620 on critical infrastructure, technology, electricity, all that stuff that you hear so much about.

00:48:27.300 It's a wonderful video.

00:48:28.860 We're going to play it in full.

00:48:29.980 It runs seven minutes, but I promise you, it's worth watching so you can be informed.

00:48:33.880 Let's roll it, Denver.

00:48:52.240 The global-scale attack on America began on the strategic island of Guam, as a wave of 0.97

00:48:57.400 submarine-launched heavy-lift drones skimmed low over the water, then darted skyward as

00:49:03.000 they reached their targets.

00:49:05.180 Over microwave relay and undersea cable landing stations, power distribution and backup facilities,

00:49:11.180 as well as the Guam Combined Operations Center, the drones detonated their payloads.

00:49:16.400 For those who witnessed it, the moment appeared almost benign, with one Air Force officer describing

00:49:21.760 how the drone hovered for an instant, then simply tumbled to the ground.

00:49:26.520 Invisible to the human eye, each detonation sent a massive electromagnetic pulse over its target.

00:49:34.040 Though designed and built to be protected from just such an EMP attack, many of the military-grade

00:49:39.300 electronic systems failed against the assault, as their circuits overloaded or melted.

00:49:44.840 In an instant, electrical power, water, network and communications systems ceased to operate

00:49:51.500 across the island.

00:49:52.500 Meanwhile, the island of Hawaii was under a similar and simultaneous attack, with coordinated

00:49:58.300 drone-delivered tactical EMP attacks on the Indopacom headquarters complex, Pacific Missile Range

00:50:04.500 Facility, the Wahiawa Communications Station, Kunia Regional SIGINT Operations Center, and the Mauna Kea

00:50:11.500 satellite tracking station, among other targets both military and civilian.

00:50:16.300 As U.S. naval and air force units scrambled to defend against the surprise attack, Chinese maritime

00:50:21.980 militia ships and autonomous underwater vehicles hundreds of miles away began to systematically sever

00:50:28.220 critical undersea fibre optic cables, first to those serving U.S. and allied installations in the

00:50:34.700 Indo-Pacific region, but soon spreading across both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, damage that would

00:50:40.460 take months, if not years, to repair.

00:50:44.380 While overhead in low Earth orbit, U.S. and allied satellites came under a sudden and withering attack,

00:50:50.060 as Chinese ground and space-based platforms launched kinetic, direct energy, jamming and blinding

00:50:56.300 attacks, rendering hundreds of satellites either unusable, uncontrollable or worse, fragmenting them into a

00:51:02.940 growing cloud of destructive debris that would unleash the much-feared Kessler cascade over the days ahead,

00:51:09.180 rendering low Earth orbit uninhabitable by satellites.

00:51:13.500 At the National Military Command Center inside the Pentagon, Deputy Director for Operations, U.S. Army

00:51:19.500 Brigadier General J.D. Swift was in full-on crisis mode. In less than 30 minutes, Swift watched as Guam,

00:51:27.580 an island fortress and centrepiece of America's defence of the Pacific, and then Hawaii, home to the U.S.

00:51:33.900 Pacific Fleet, both virtually vanished from the digital landscape. The U.S. military's ability to

00:51:40.220 coordinate overseas operations had just collapsed. And the news was about to get exponentially worse.

00:51:47.180 In Westbury, New York, inside the FAA's New York TRACON facility, radar and approach controllers spotted

00:51:55.100 what appeared to be numerous unidentified aerial targets, likely drones, in their airspace just south

00:52:01.900 of Long Island. As they frantically worked to divert traffic, the drones, launched from nearby cargo

00:52:08.460 container ships, raced toward their targets. Along both U.S. coasts and in dozens of cities deep in the

00:52:15.820 heartland, the same template for attack was carried out, with EMP drone attacks on key communications,

00:52:22.220 power, transportation and network data centres. Working in concert, scores of small, commercially

00:52:29.500 available drones also rose into the skies above American cities, their transmitters broadcasting digital

00:52:35.260 orders to kill switches, covertly embedded and listening in electronic systems compromised by

00:52:40.700 China months or years before. Within moments, hundreds of millions of citizens across the country

00:52:47.180 found themselves suddenly without access to power, internet, cell phones, fuel, ATMs, police,

00:52:54.140 fire or emergency services. In the days ahead, with the crippling of the nation's food and supply

00:53:00.540 chain management systems, basic transportation and healthcare services, and with little information

00:53:06.300 and rumours running rampant, public annoyance quickly turned to anger, anger to fear and fear to panic.

00:53:14.940 Made worse, the selective attacks strategically separated the haves from the have-nots, leaving cities

00:53:20.700 such as Dallas, Texas untouched, while plunging neighbouring Fort Worth into darkness and hunger.

00:53:26.940 Soon, rioting and looting took root and spread, virus-like, nationwide. Back at the command centre,

00:53:34.700 with Swift's staff overwhelmed and information fractured and conflicted, the situation was spiralling

00:53:40.540 from the nightmarish to the existential, as Space Command in Colorado reported that the orbital

00:53:46.380 CIBA's early missile warning system had just gone offline, and with it, the ability to detect the

00:53:52.220 launch of enemy intercontinental ballistic missiles. Moments later, America's continuity of operations

00:53:59.100 plan was initiated, sending civilian and military leadership to hardened facilities across the country,

00:54:06.220 ensuring that the government remained functional in the event of a national emergency, including nuclear war.

00:54:13.500 Meanwhile, 300 miles east of the Luzon Strait, aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Admiral Justice Folger,

00:54:20.220 commander of US Navy Carrier Strike Group 5, found himself a commander without clear direction,

00:54:26.780 armed with a strike group that was now slowed, degraded and, at extreme risk, without real-time

00:54:32.940 battlespace intelligence to know where the enemy was, where it was headed, in what strength or the

00:54:38.620 means to coordinate a joint attack. The most potent and technically advanced fighting force on the

00:54:44.700 planet had just been knocked back a half a century. While 400 miles to his west, aboard the flagship of

00:54:51.020 his surface action group, PLAN Rear Admiral Wu Wei received welcomed news. The off switch to America,

00:54:58.620 the dismantling of their global digital infrastructure, was complete. The strategy, known as the Assassin's Maces,

00:55:05.660 had been decades in the making. A doctrine of unrestricted warfare, where the battlefield was

00:55:11.500 everywhere, aiming to cripple a superior enemy's capabilities long before open conflict erupted.

00:55:18.140 Now the moment of Xi, the optimal strategic timing for the attack, had come. The Admiral read an

00:55:24.860 encrypted message received from Eastern Theatre Command. The order given, which would soon go out to

00:55:29.980 millions of PLA warfighters around the globe, read simply, commence operations. He watched in silent awe,

00:55:37.820 as the next kinetic stage of the war began.

00:55:45.900 What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month?

00:55:52.060 Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man,

00:55:57.260 a former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor, with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.

00:56:13.340 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency
