Bannon's War Room - Episode 4735： Shake Up At The Fed; China Threat From Within

00:00:00.000 AN ISSUE, MR. SECRETARY, FOR I

00:00:02.560 THINK THE BASE OF THE REPUBLICAN

00:00:04.960 PARTY, CERTAINLY FOR THE INGREM

00:00:06.680 ANGLE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS,

00:00:08.760 CONSERVATIVES, IS THIS IDEA OF

00:00:10.960 FOREIGN STUDENTS COMING TO THE

00:00:12.480 UNITED STATES AND TAKING SPOTS

00:00:14.960 THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE, YOU

00:00:16.440 KNOW, OBVIOUSLY OPEN TO

00:00:18.040 AMERICAN STUDENTS.

00:00:19.480 THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THIS

00:00:21.080 ISSUE AS PART OF THE CHINESE 0.98

00:00:23.040 TRADE DEAL, WHICH MIGHT BE IN

00:00:24.680 THE OFFING.

00:00:25.280 WATCH.

00:00:25.800 WE'RE GOING TO GET ALONG GOOD

00:00:27.400 WITH CHINA. 0.97

00:00:28.120 WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THEIR 1.00

00:00:29.760 STUDENTS, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW

00:00:31.120 THEIR STUDENTS, WE'RE GOING TO

00:00:32.120 ALLOW THEIR STUDENTS TO COME IN.

00:00:33.680 WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW, IT'S VERY

00:00:34.680 IMPORTANT, 600,000 STUDENTS.

00:00:36.560 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

00:00:38.680 MR. SECRETARY, WITH ALL DUE

00:00:41.680 RESPECT, HOW IS ALLOWING 600,000

00:00:44.720 STUDENTS FROM THE COMMUNIST

00:00:46.280 COUNTRY OF CHINA PUTTING AMERICA 1.00

00:00:48.120 FIRST?

00:00:48.480 WELL, THE PRESIDENT'S POINT OF

00:00:51.280 VIEW IS THAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

00:00:53.520 IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THOSE 600,000

00:00:55.520 STUDENTS IS THAT YOU'D EMPTY THEM

00:00:57.520 ON THE TOP, ALL THE STUDENTS WOULD

00:00:59.520 GO UP TO BETTER SCHOOLS, AND THE

00:01:01.520 BOTTOM 15% OF UNIVERSITIES AND

00:01:04.520 COLLEGES WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS 1.00

00:01:05.520 IN AMERICA.

00:01:06.520 SO HIS VIEW IS HE'S TAKING A

00:01:08.520 RATIONAL ECONOMIC VIEW, WHICH IS

00:01:11.160 CLASSIC DONALD TRUMP LOOKING AT

00:01:13.160 HIGHER EDUCATION AND SAYING,

00:01:14.520 UNTIL WE MODIFY THAT.

00:01:15.520 LOOK, WE'RE GETTING ALONG VERY WELL

00:01:17.520 WITH CHINA. 0.97

00:01:18.520 AND I'M GETTING ALONG VERY WELL

00:01:19.520 WITH PRESIDENT CHI.

00:01:20.520 I THINK IT'S VERY INSULTING TO

00:01:22.520 SAY STUDENTS CAN'T COME HERE,

00:01:24.520 BECAUSE THEY'LL GO OUT AND

00:01:25.520 START BUILDING SCHOOLS, AND THEY'LL

00:01:26.520 BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IT.

00:01:27.520 BUT I LIKE THAT THEIR STUDENTS

00:01:28.520 COME HERE.

00:01:29.520 I LIKE THAT OTHER COUNTRY'S 0.94

00:01:30.520 STUDENTS COME HERE.

00:01:31.520 AND YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF

00:01:33.520 THEY DIDN'T?

00:01:34.520 OUR COLLEGE SYSTEM WOULD GO TO

00:01:35.520 HELL VERY QUICKLY.

00:01:36.520 YOU'D HAVE, AND IT WOULDN'T BE

00:01:38.520 THE TOP COLLEGES.

00:01:39.520 IT WOULD BE COLLEGES THAT STRUGGLE 0.99

00:01:41.520 ON THE BOTTOM.

00:01:42.520 AND YOU TAKE OUT 300,000 OR 600,000

00:01:46.520 STUDENTS OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

00:01:47.520 I LIKE HAVING, AND I TOLD THIS

00:01:49.520 TO PRESIDENT CHI, THAT WE'RE

00:01:51.520 HONORED TO HAVE THEIR STUDENTS

00:01:52.520 HERE.

00:01:53.520 NOW, WITH THAT, WE CHECK AND WE'RE

00:01:55.520 CAREFUL AND WE SEE WHO'S

00:01:56.520 THERE.

00:01:57.520 AND WE SEE WHO'S THERE.

00:01:59.520 AND MARKO WANTS THAT.

00:02:02.520 WE SPOKE.

00:02:03.520 WE'RE IN THE SAME POSITION.

00:02:04.520 BUT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS COLLEGE

00:02:06.520 SYSTEM.

00:02:07.520 THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

00:02:08.520 NOBODY EVEN CLOSE.

00:02:09.520 THAT'S WHY CHINA SENS THEM HERE. 1.00

00:02:10.520 AND YOU CAN CALL IT AN INDUSTRY

00:02:12.520 IF YOU WANT.

00:02:13.520 BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS

00:02:15.520 OF PEOPLE.

00:02:16.520 AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE THE

00:02:18.520 STUDENTS FROM CHINA COME HERE. 0.53

00:02:20.520 AND THEY'RE JUST GETTING ALONG

00:02:23.520 VERY WELL WITH CHINA. 0.97

00:02:24.520 WE'VE ALSO FOUND MANY BAGS OF 0.78

00:02:28.520 INFORMATION.

00:02:29.520 I THINK THEY CALL THEM BURN BAGS. 1.00

00:02:31.520 THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BURNED AND 0.95

00:02:32.520 THEY DIDN'T GET BURNED.

00:02:33.520 HAVING TO DO WITH HOW CORRUPT THE

00:02:35.520 2020 ELECTION WAS.

00:02:37.520 AND WHEN WILL THAT ALL COME OUT?

00:02:39.520 MR.

00:02:40.520 MR.

00:02:41.520 PRESIDENT, I WILL BE THE FIRST TO

00:02:42.520 BRIEF YOU ONCE WE HAVE THAT

00:02:43.520 INFORMATION COLLECTED.

00:02:44.520 BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

00:02:45.520 IT'S, IT'S, WE ARE FINDING

00:02:47.520 DOCUMENTS LITERALLY TUCKED AWAY

00:02:50.520 IN THE BACK OF SAFES AND RANDOM

00:02:51.520 OFFICES IN THESE BAGS AND IN OTHER

00:02:52.520 AREAS.

00:02:53.520 WHICH, AGAIN, SPEAKS TO THE INTENT

00:02:55.520 OF THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO HIDE THE

00:02:56.520 TRUTH FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND

00:02:57.520 TRYING TO COVER UP THE POLITICIZATION

00:02:59.520 THAT WAS LED BY PEOPLE LIKE JOHN

00:03:00.520 BRENNAN AND JAMES CLAPPER AND OTHERS

00:03:04.520 THAT HAVE CAUSED REALLY IMMEASURABLE

00:03:05.520 HARM TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO 0.96

00:03:06.520 OUR COUNTRY.

00:03:07.520 GREAT JOB.

00:03:09.520 THANK YOU.

00:03:10.520 WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING IT.

00:03:11.520 THE PUBLIC LOOKS FORWARD.

00:03:12.520 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

00:03:13.520 THIS IS THE PRIMAL SCREAM OF A

00:03:15.520 DYING REGIME.

00:03:16.520 PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES.

00:03:17.520 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING MEDIEVILLE ON

00:03:18.520 THESE PEOPLE.

00:03:19.520 I GOT A FREE SHOT ON ALL THESE

00:03:20.520 NETWORKS LYING ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

00:03:22.520 THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD A BELLY FULL

00:03:23.520 OF IT.

00:03:24.520 THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD A BELLY FULL

00:03:25.520 OF IT.

00:03:26.520 THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD A BELLY FULL

00:03:27.520 OF IT.

00:03:28.520 THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD A BELLY FULL OF IT.

00:03:30.520 I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE HEARING THAT.

00:03:38.520 I KNOW YOU TRY TO DO EVERYTHING

00:03:39.520 IN THE WORLD TO STOP THAT, BUT

00:03:40.520 YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STOP IT.

00:03:41.520 IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

00:03:42.520 AND WHERE DO PEOPLE LIKE THAT

00:03:43.520 GO TO SHARE THE BIG LINE?

00:03:45.520 MAGA MEDIA.

00:03:46.520 I WISH IN MY SOUL, I WISH THAT ANY

00:03:49.520 OF THESE PEOPLE HAD A CONSCIENCE.

00:03:52.520 ASK YOURSELF, WHAT IS MY TASK

00:03:54.520 AND WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

00:03:56.520 IF THAT ANSWER IS TO SAVE MY

00:03:58.520 COUNTRY, THIS COUNTRY WILL BE SAVED.

00:04:02.520 WAR ROOM.

00:04:03.520 HERE'S YOUR HOST, STEPHEN K. BANNON.

00:04:11.520 YOU'RE IN THE WAR ROOM.

00:04:12.520 IT'S TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH IN THE YEAR

00:04:14.520 OF OUR LORD 2025.

00:04:15.520 NATALIE WINTERS HOSTING TODAY,

00:04:17.520 FILLING IN FOR STEPHEN K. BANNON.

00:04:20.520 WE'VE GOT A PACKED SHOW.

00:04:22.520 SO MANY THINGS THAT WE WANT TO HIT,

00:04:24.520 BUT I THINK THE NUMBER ONE THING

00:04:25.520 THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM THE TRUMP

00:04:26.520 ADMINISTRATION IS THAT THEY ARE

00:04:28.520 VERY RESPONSIVE.

00:04:29.520 IF WE MAKE NOISE, WE GET RESULTS.

00:04:32.520 AND I THINK THAT THIS CHINESE 0.77

00:04:33.520 STUDENT VISA ISSUE IS ONE OF THOSE

00:04:35.520 THINGS, JUST LIKE IT WAS THE FEMA

00:04:37.520 AID TO COUNTRIES OR RATHER COUNTIES

00:04:40.520 OR CITIZENS WHO, WHAT WAS IT,

00:04:42.520 WAS DISRESPECTFUL OR WEREN'T 1.00

00:04:43.520 SUPPORTIVE OF THE ISRAELI 0.95

00:04:45.520 GOVERNMENT.

00:04:46.520 WHEN WE MADE ENOUGH NOISE, WE SAW

00:04:47.520 THAT PROVISION VERY SWIFTLY

00:04:49.520 REMOVED FROM THE NEW DHS

00:04:51.520 GUIDELINES.

00:04:52.520 AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO

00:04:53.520 HOLD A SIMILAR LINE HERE

00:04:55.520 ON THE CHINESE VISA FRONT,

00:04:57.520 WHICH BY THE WAY, THE CURRENT

00:04:58.520 NUMBER HOVERS,

00:04:59.520 MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE LOWER

00:05:00.520 THAN AROUND 300,000 STUDENTS.

00:05:03.520 SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND

00:05:04.520 EVEN IF YOU THINK THAT'S

00:05:05.520 GREAT, WHICH IT'S NOT.

00:05:06.520 WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO GET

00:05:07.520 INTO THAT, WHY WE WOULD BE

00:05:08.520 DOUBLING THAT NUMBER.

00:05:10.520 I THINK THE BRIEF SUMMARY OF

00:05:13.520 THE ARGUMENT IS THESE ARE NOT

00:05:14.520 STUDENTS.

00:05:15.520 THESE ARE SPIES.

00:05:16.520 THE SHORT-TERM CONSEQUENCES

00:05:17.520 ARE IP THEFT, ESPIONAGE,

00:05:20.520 CYBERSECURITY INCIDENTS,

00:05:22.520 STEALING ALL OF OUR MOST

00:05:23.520 VALUABLE INFORMATION.

00:05:24.520 I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE

00:05:25.520 SHOULD BE TRAINING THE NEXT

00:05:26.520 GENERATION AT BEST OF

00:05:27.520 CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY

00:05:29.520 LEADERS AND APPARATCHICS,

00:05:31.520 AT WORST THE PEOPLE THAT

00:05:32.520 WILL BE MEETING ON THE

00:05:33.520 BATTLEFIELD.

00:05:34.520 BUT I THINK THE LONGER-TERM

00:05:35.520 IMPLICATIONS, AND FRANKLY,

00:05:37.520 THEIR REPUBLIC ENDING,

00:05:39.520 ARE THAT WE ARE

00:05:40.520 ESSENTIALLY CREATING OUR

00:05:42.520 OWN DEMISE.

00:05:43.520 THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST

00:05:44.520 EXAMPLE THAT I'VE EVER SEEN

00:05:45.520 OF MANAGED DECLINE.

00:05:47.520 THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD

00:05:48.520 HOLLOW OUT AMERICAN

00:05:49.520 UNIVERSITIES, TAKE SEATS

00:05:51.520 IN CLASSROOMS FROM THE

00:05:53.520 PEOPLE I WENT TO HIGH

00:05:54.520 SCHOOL WITH, THE PEOPLE

00:05:55.520 THAT YOU RAISED AS YOUR

00:05:56.520 CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN,

00:05:57.520 AND GIVE THEM TO

00:05:58.520 FOREIGNERS WHO ARE

00:06:00.520 MANDATED PER CHINA'S

00:06:02.520 ARTICLE 7 OF THEIR

00:06:03.520 NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

00:06:04.520 LAW TO ADVANCE THE

00:06:05.520 INTERESTS OF THE PARTY.

00:06:07.520 AND SPARE ME THE

00:06:08.520 CULTURAL IMMERSION IDEA.

00:06:10.520 HOW MANY AMERICAN

00:06:11.520 STUDENTS ARE IN CHINA?

00:06:12.520 I THINK IT'S, WHAT, LESS

00:06:13.520 THAN 500?

00:06:14.520 SO THAT'S NOT REALLY THE

00:06:16.520 BEST TWO-WAY STREET,

00:06:18.520 SHALL WE SAY.

00:06:19.520 AND I DON'T THINK WE NEED

00:06:20.520 MORE YOUNG AMERICAN

00:06:21.520 STUDENTS ADOPTING

00:06:22.520 COMMUNIST INDOCTRINATION,

00:06:24.520 BUT DEFINITELY MORE

00:06:25.520 TO DRILL DOWN ON THAT

00:06:27.520 FRONT.

00:06:28.520 LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A

00:06:29.520 HILL TO DIE ON.

00:06:31.520 THERE'S NO EXPLANATION

00:06:32.520 FOR IT, LET ALONE THE

00:06:33.520 DOUBLING DOWN, LET ALONE

00:06:35.520 DOUBLING THE CAPS TO

00:06:38.520 600,000.

00:06:39.520 IT'S ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS.

00:06:41.520 AND I THINK OUR FIRST

00:06:42.520 GUEST, SAM FADDIS, I

00:06:43.520 WOULD WAGER THAT YOU

00:06:44.520 PROBABLY AGREE WITH ME.

00:06:46.520 I WON'T GET TOO FAR

00:06:47.520 OVER MY SKIES, BUT I THINK

00:06:48.520 YOU UNDERSTAND THE PRC

00:06:50.520 TO BE AMERICA'S

00:06:51.520 PROBABLY LARGEST

00:06:52.520 EXISTENTIAL, IF NOT

00:06:53.520 REALLY ONLY REAL

00:06:54.520 EXISTENTIAL THREAT.

00:06:55.520 YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS

00:06:57.520 CONTINUED DISCOURSE, IF

00:06:59.520 NOT OUTRIGHT DOUBLING

00:07:00.520 DOWN ON BROADENING

00:07:02.520 STUDENT VISA CAPS FOR

00:07:04.520 CHINESE STUDENTS HERE

00:07:05.520 IN THE STATES.

00:07:07.520 WELL, NATALIE, I WAS

00:07:09.520 LISTENING TO YOUR

00:07:10.520 INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS

00:07:11.520 THERE, AND I'M TEMPTED

00:07:12.520 TO JUST RESPOND AMEN.

00:07:14.520 LOOK, I GET IT THAT THE

00:07:18.520 PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO

00:07:19.520 MANAGE A COMPLEX

00:07:20.520 SITUATION.

00:07:21.520 HE'S TRYING TO GET THE

00:07:23.520 CHINESE TO AGREE TO ALL

00:07:24.520 SORTS OF DIFFERENT

00:07:25.520 CONSIDERATIONS.

00:07:26.520 AND THERE'S A CERTAIN

00:07:29.520 GIVE AND TAKE.

00:07:30.520 I DON'T THINK THIS IS

00:07:31.520 AN ISSUE ON WHICH WE

00:07:34.520 CAN ACCEPT THIS POSITION.

00:07:37.520 THERE ARE, LIKE YOU

00:07:39.520 SAID, I THINK I HAVE

00:07:40.520 THE SAME NUMBER.

00:07:41.520 THERE'S SOMETHING

00:07:42.520 SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 300,000

00:07:43.520 CHINESE STUDENTS IN THE

00:07:45.520 UNITED STATES ALREADY.

00:07:46.520 THAT'S TOO MANY.

00:07:48.520 THE IDEA THAT WE'RE

00:07:49.520 GOING TO DOUBLE THEM,

00:07:51.520 VERY ILL ADVISED.

00:07:53.520 I MEAN, LOOK, LET'S

00:07:54.520 JUST START WITH THIS.

00:07:56.520 THE CHINESE COME HERE 1.00

00:07:58.520 TO STUDY HARD SCIENCES

00:08:00.520 AND ENGINEERING.

00:08:02.520 THEY COME, THEY DON'T 0.99

00:08:03.520 COME HERE TO STUDY

00:08:04.520 ENGLISH LITERATURE

00:08:05.520 OR READ CHAUCER, RIGHT?

00:08:07.520 THEY COME HERE TO

00:08:08.520 TAKE AWAY OUR KEY

00:08:11.520 ADVANTAGE.

00:08:12.520 THAT ONE THING THAT WE

00:08:14.520 COUNT ON THAT WILL

00:08:15.520 ASSURE US VICTORY IF,

00:08:17.520 GOD FORBID, WE END UP

00:08:18.520 IN A SHOOTING WAR,

00:08:19.520 WHICH IS OUR TECHNOLOGY,

00:08:21.520 OUR TECHNOLOGICAL EDGE.

00:08:23.520 AND THEY MAY INDIVIDUALLY

00:08:25.520 BE GREAT PEOPLE,

00:08:27.520 BUT EVERY CHINESE CITIZEN 0.85

00:08:30.520 THAT COMES HERE

00:08:32.520 WILL, IF THE CCP WANTS,

00:08:35.520 BE COMPELLED TO SPY ON US.

00:08:38.520 NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO,

00:08:40.520 NOT BECAUSE THEY LOVE

00:08:41.520 COMMUNISM,

00:08:42.520 BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CHOICE,

00:08:44.520 BECAUSE THEY ARE SUBJECT

00:08:45.520 TO THAT COMPULSION,

00:08:46.520 BECAUSE THEY ARE PRESSURED,

00:08:48.520 BECAUSE LITERALLY

00:08:49.520 THEY WILL BRING THEM IN

00:08:51.520 TO THE EMBASSY, THE CONSULATE,

00:08:53.520 OR SOME OTHER OFFICE,

00:08:54.520 AND PUT THEM ON A VIDEO CALL

00:08:56.520 WITH GRANDMA,

00:08:57.520 IF THEY HESITATE.

00:08:59.520 AND THAT'S NOT A JOKE,

00:09:01.520 NOT HYPERBOLE.

00:09:02.520 THERE IS A HAMMER HANGING

00:09:04.520 OVER THEIR HEADS

00:09:06.520 AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR RELATIVES.

00:09:08.520 SO YOU, IT'S LIKE THE GODFATHER,

00:09:10.520 IT'S AN OFFER YOU CANNOT REFUSE.

00:09:13.520 AND THEY ARE STEALING US BLIND,

00:09:16.520 AND WE CANNOT GET OUR HANDS

00:09:18.520 AROUND THE THREAT

00:09:19.520 WITH THE CURRENT NUMBER,

00:09:21.520 SO THERE IS NO PRAYER

00:09:23.520 THAT WE WILL GET OUR HANDS

00:09:25.520 AROUND THE THREAT

00:09:26.520 WITH TWICE AS MANY OF THEM HERE.

00:09:28.520 THEY WILL JUST STEAL THAT MUCH MORE,

00:09:30.520 AND WE WILL ULTIMATELY PAY

00:09:32.520 ON THE BATTLEFIELD,

00:09:33.520 AS YOU SUGGESTED.

00:09:35.520 YEAH, AND IT'S AN INTERESTING,

00:09:37.520 I THINK, CONCURRENT

00:09:38.520 STRAWMANNING

00:09:39.520 AND STEALMANNING

00:09:40.520 OF THE ARGUMENT.

00:09:41.520 IN OTHER WORDS,

00:09:42.520 THESE CHINESE STUDENTS

00:09:43.520 ARE TOTALLY STRAWMANNED

00:09:44.520 AND MADE TO LOOK LIKE

00:09:45.520 THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE, 0.74

00:09:46.520 AND I'M SURE MAYBE

00:09:47.520 ONE OF THEM IS,

00:09:48.520 BUT ARE COMING HERE

00:09:49.520 TO ALTRUISTICALLY LEARN

00:09:51.520 AND ABSORB THE AMERICAN

00:09:52.520 WAY OF LIFE,

00:09:53.520 ALTHOUGH THEN THE STEALMAN

00:09:54.520 I THINK IS THAT

00:09:55.520 AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES

00:09:56.520 ARE THESE WONDERFUL,

00:09:57.520 YOU KNOW,

00:09:58.520 FREE-THINKING PLACES

00:09:59.520 WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE

00:10:00.520 INDOCTRINATED

00:10:01.520 WITH PRO-AMERICA THOUGHT.

00:10:02.520 I WOULD ALMOST POSIT

00:10:04.520 THAT AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES

00:10:05.520 ARE PROBABLY MORE ANTI-WEST

00:10:07.520 AND MORE ANTI-AMERICA

00:10:08.520 THAN SOME UNIVERSITIES

00:10:09.520 THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN BEIJING.

00:10:11.520 I MEAN, WHAT WAS IT?

00:10:12.520 IT WAS HARVARD THAT WAS

00:10:13.520 WORKING, OF COURSE,

00:10:14.520 WITH THE CHINESE 0.99

00:10:15.520 COMMUNIST PARTY.

00:10:16.520 THEY WERE RUNNING,

00:10:17.520 IT WAS THROUGH

00:10:18.520 THE ASH CENTER,

00:10:19.520 THEY WERE LITERALLY RUNNING

00:10:20.520 A CHINESE LEADERS 0.74

00:10:21.520 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

00:10:22.520 WHERE THEY WERE TRAINING

00:10:23.520 THE NEXT CADRE OF

00:10:24.520 CHINESE OFFICIALS,

00:10:25.520 EVEN WORKING WITH

00:10:26.520 THE XINZANG PRODUCTION

00:10:27.520 AND CONSTRUCTION CORE,

00:10:28.520 WHICH WAS A SANCTIONED

00:10:29.520 ENTITY BASICALLY

00:10:30.520 OVERSEEING THE

00:10:31.520 UYGUR GENOCIDE 1.00

00:10:32.520 UP IN XINZANG. 0.81

00:10:33.520 SO THIS IS NOT

00:10:34.520 RUN-O-THE-MILL STUFF.

00:10:35.520 I ALSO THINK,

00:10:36.520 CURIOUS TO YOUR THOUGHTS,

00:10:37.520 I THINK A LOT OF

00:10:38.520 THIS DISCUSSION,

00:10:39.520 MAKING IT ABOUT

00:10:40.520 THE STUDENTS,

00:10:41.520 REALLY IS SORT OF

00:10:42.520 A LIMITED HANGOUT

00:10:43.520 IN THE SENSE THAT

00:10:44.520 THE STUDENTS ARE

00:10:45.520 JUST SORT OF

00:10:46.520 THE FOOT SOLDIERS

00:10:47.520 OF WHAT IS A MASSIVE

00:10:48.520 MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR

00:10:49.520 EFFORT FOR CHINA 1.00

00:10:50.520 TO OWN OUR UNIVERSITIES,

00:10:51.520 RIGHT?

00:10:52.520 IT SORT OF GIVES THEM

00:10:53.520 THE PRETEXT,

00:10:54.520 THE ABILITY TO PLOW

00:10:55.520 ALL THIS MONEY

00:10:56.520 WHERE THEY'RE CURATING

00:10:57.520 NOT JUST WHAT

00:10:58.520 THE CHINESE STUDENTS

00:10:59.520 ARE LEARNING,

00:11:00.520 BUT EVEN,

00:11:01.520 I THINK MORE

00:11:02.520 NEFARIOUSLY,

00:11:03.520 WHICH IS ONE OF,

00:11:04.520 OH, IT'S AN ECONOMIC

00:11:05.520 MIRACLE,

00:11:06.520 RIGHT?

00:11:07.520 I'M CURIOUS YOUR

00:11:08.520 THOUGHTS ON THAT

00:11:09.520 FACET,

00:11:10.520 RATHER OF COMPROMISE.

00:11:11.520 YEAH, LOOK,

00:11:12.520 LET'S JUST,

00:11:13.520 THIS IS NOT ABOUT

00:11:15.520 CHINESE PEOPLE

00:11:16.520 AS AN ETHNICITY,

00:11:17.520 RIGHT?

00:11:18.520 NOBODY IS SAYING

00:11:19.520 THAT CHINESE PEOPLE 1.00

00:11:20.520 ARE SOMEHOW

00:11:21.520 GENETICALLY BAD,

00:11:23.520 EVIL,

00:11:24.520 THAT THIS IS ABOUT THEM.

00:11:25.520 THIS IS ABOUT

00:11:26.520 AN EVIL,

00:11:27.520 HORRIBLE,

00:11:28.520 TOTALITARIAN REGIME,

00:11:30.520 THE CHINESE COMMUNIST

00:11:31.520 PARTY.

00:11:32.520 THE CHINESE PEOPLE

00:11:34.520 THEMSELVES EVERY DAY.

00:11:35.520 BUT THESE GUYS,

00:11:37.520 THE CCP,

00:11:38.520 HAVE ONE OBJECTIVE.

00:11:40.520 THAT IS TO SUPPLANT US

00:11:41.520 AND BECOME THE DOMINANT 0.81

00:11:42.520 POWER ON THE PLANET.

00:11:45.520 AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

00:11:46.520 THEY'RE GETTING

00:11:47.520 DANGEROUSLY CLOSE

00:11:48.520 TO THAT.

00:11:49.520 SO YEAH,

00:11:50.520 THEY'RE STEALING

00:11:51.520 OUR TECHNOLOGY,

00:11:52.520 THEY'RE TAKING OVER

00:11:53.520 OUR UNIVERSITY.

00:11:54.520 THEY ARE MOVING

00:11:55.520 ON ALL SORTS OF FRONTS.

00:11:57.520 I MEAN,

00:11:58.520 I'M ALL FOR NEGOTIATING

00:11:59.520 WITH THEM,

00:12:00.520 AND DEALING WITH THESE

00:12:01.520 ECONOMIC ISSUES

00:12:02.520 IN THE REAL WORLD.

00:12:03.520 BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER

00:12:04.520 IS,

00:12:05.520 THE CCP DOESN'T WANT

00:12:07.520 TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE

00:12:08.520 FOR ITS PEOPLE,

00:12:09.520 BUILD A BETTER ECONOMY,

00:12:11.520 YOU KNOW,

00:12:12.520 MORE LUXURIES,

00:12:13.520 MORE CREATURE COMFORTS.

00:12:15.520 IT IS AN EVIL TOTALITARIAN

00:12:17.520 THING AND IT WANTS 0.80

00:12:18.520 TO TAKE OVER

00:12:19.520 AND SUPPLANT US.

00:12:21.520 AND IF WE ARE DEALING

00:12:22.520 WITH THEM

00:12:23.520 ON ANY OTHER BASIS,

00:12:25.520 I MEAN,

00:12:26.520 WE'RE IN LALALAND,

00:12:28.520 WOULD WE HAVE DEALT

00:12:29.520 WITH THE SOVIET UNION

00:12:31.520 AND TALKED TO THE POLIT

00:12:35.520 BUREAU IN KREMLIN,

00:12:37.520 AND HAD ANY IDEA

00:12:38.520 THAT WHAT THESE GUYS

00:12:39.520 WERE LOOKING FOR

00:12:40.520 WAS TO JUST CLIMB

00:12:42.520 IN BED WITH US 0.75

00:12:43.520 AND GET COMFORTABLE

00:12:44.520 AND BE JUST LIKE US?

00:12:45.520 NO.

00:12:46.520 WE WERE NEVER IN ANY,

00:12:47.520 WELL, I MEAN,

00:12:48.520 MAYBE SOME OF US WERE,

00:12:49.520 BUT AS A NATION,

00:12:50.520 THANK GOD,

00:12:51.520 WE KEPT OUR EYE ON THE BALL

00:12:52.520 AND FOCUSED ON THE FACT

00:12:53.520 THAT THESE GUYS

00:12:54.520 WANT TO DESTROY US.

00:12:55.520 THAT'S WHAT THE CCP WANTS

00:12:57.520 ACROSS THE BOARD

00:12:58.520 IN EVERY REGARD.

00:12:59.520 SO WHEN WE'RE NEGOTIATING

00:13:00.520 WITH THEM,

00:13:01.520 WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYE

00:13:02.520 ON THAT.

00:13:03.520 AND I WILL JUST SAY,

00:13:04.520 AGAIN,

00:13:05.520 AS AN OLD SPOOK,

00:13:07.520 IF YOU THINK

00:13:08.520 YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP YOUR EYE

00:13:09.520 ON 600,000

00:13:11.520 CHINESE STUDENTS

00:13:12.520 CRAWLING AROUND

00:13:13.520 OUR LABORATORIES

00:13:16.520 AND HAVE ANY CLUE

00:13:20.520 I MEAN,

00:13:22.520 WATCHING THEM PUT

00:13:23.520 STEALTH JET FIGHTERS

00:13:24.520 IN THE AIR

00:13:25.520 THAT ARE

00:13:35.520 THEIR RESEARCH

00:17:00.520 SAM, I'M CURIOUS YOUR THOUGHTS.

00:17:03.520 THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF REPORTING

00:17:04.520 OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS

00:17:06.520 ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT

00:17:08.520 DIRECTOR GABBARD IS MAKING

00:17:09.520 WITH REGARD TO INTEL SHARING

00:17:10.520 TO INTEL SHARING ON UKRAINE.

00:17:12.520 CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH

00:17:13.520 THE DEVELOPMENTS THERE?

00:17:16.520 YEAH.

00:17:17.520 SO WITHOUT GETTING LOST IN

00:17:20.520 OF HOW DOCUMENTS ARE CLASSIFIED

00:17:22.520 IN THE IC WHICH NOBODY

00:17:23.520 WANTS TO SUFFER THROUGH.

00:17:25.520 WHAT GABBARD SAID WAS

00:17:26.520 ALL THE INTELLIGENCE,

00:17:28.520 THE INTELLIGENCE WE HAVE

00:17:29.520 ON THE ONGOING RUSSIA-UKRAINE

00:17:31.520 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

00:17:32.520 THAT THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 0.79

00:17:33.520 HAS WILL ALL BE MARKED NO FOREIGN, 1.00

00:17:38.520 N-O-F-O-R-N. 1.00

00:17:40.520 STANDARD DESIGNATION USED

00:17:42.520 IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY,

00:17:43.520 IT MEANS NO FOREIGN NATIONS.

00:17:45.520 SO BASICALLY SHE ISSUED AN ORDER

00:17:48.520 THAT THIS REALLY SENSITIVE

00:17:50.520 INTELLIGENCE WE HAVE

00:17:52.520 REGARDING NEGOTIATIONS

00:17:54.520 TO END A WAR,

00:17:55.520 WHICH ARE BEING CONDUCTED 0.97

00:17:57.520 PERSONALLY BY THE PRESIDENT

00:17:58.520 OF THE UNITED STATES,

00:18:05.520 THE IMPLICATIONS.

00:18:06.520 IN THE NORMAL COURSE

00:18:08.520 OF BUSINESS,

00:18:09.520 THAT WOULD ALWAYS BE TRUE.

00:18:12.520 NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND

00:18:14.520 WOULD PASS THIS INFORMATION

00:18:16.520 TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES,

00:18:18.520 THIS INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE

00:18:19.520 INTELLIGENCE ON THE

00:18:21.520 NEGOTIATIONS BEING CONDUCTED

00:18:23.520 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE

00:18:25.520 UNITED STATES.

00:18:26.520 YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL

00:18:28.520 ANYBODY NOT TO PASS THAT

00:18:30.520 TO A FOREIGN NATION.

00:18:32.520 THAT WOULD BE STANDARD

00:18:33.520 PROCEDURE.

00:18:34.520 I THINK EVERY DOCUMENT

00:18:35.520 I EVER CREATED AT CIA

00:18:37.520 HAD NO FOREIGN ON IT

00:18:39.520 JUST FOR CONTEXT.

00:18:40.520 SO, WHAT THE REAL

00:18:42.520 STORY IS HERE

00:18:43.520 IS THAT GABBARD IS

00:18:45.520 SO CONCERNED

00:18:47.520 ABOUT PEOPLE INSIDE

00:18:48.520 THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 0.92

00:18:50.520 PASSING INTELLIGENCE

00:18:52.520 TO OTHER COUNTRIES

00:18:53.520 THAT SHOULD NOT BE PASSED

00:18:55.520 THAT SHE FELT IT

00:18:57.520 NECESSARY TO ISSUE AN

00:18:58.520 ORDER DIRECTLY AS DIRECTOR

00:19:01.520 OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

00:19:03.520 AGAIN, A CLASSIFICATION

00:19:05.520 DECISION THAT WOULD NORMALLY

00:19:06.520 BE MADE AT THE WORKING

00:19:07.520 LEVEL ROUTINELY, NOT BY A

00:19:11.520 DIRECTOR OF ANYTHING.

00:19:13.520 AND YET, SHE'S SO CONCERNED

00:19:15.520 THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING 0.61

00:19:16.520 TO PASS THE BRITS

00:19:17.520 OR SOMEBODY ELSE

00:19:18.520 INTELLIGENCE

00:19:19.520 THEY SHOULDN'T SEE

00:19:20.520 THAT SHE FELT IT

00:19:21.520 NECESSARY TO ISSUE

00:19:22.520 THAT ORDER.

00:19:23.520 SO, I COMMEND HER

00:19:24.520 FOR DOING SO,

00:19:25.520 BUT IT SAYS SOMETHING

00:19:26.520 VERY TROUBLING

00:19:27.520 ABOUT HOW SHE FEELS

00:19:29.520 ABOUT THE STATE

00:19:30.520 OF THE INTELLIGENCE

00:19:31.520 COMMUNITY,

00:19:32.520 THAT SHE CANNOT TRUST

00:19:33.520 HER OWN AGENCIES

00:19:34.520 NOT TO BASICALLY

00:19:35.520 STAB THE PRESIDENT

00:19:36.520 IN THE BACK.

00:19:37.520 AND DO YOU THINK

00:19:38.520 THIS IS SORT OF

00:19:39.520 A REPRESENTATION

00:19:40.520 OF HOW THERE ARE

00:19:41.520 A LOT OF FACTIONS

00:19:42.520 GLOBALLY,

00:19:43.520 BUT EVEN DOMESTICALLY

00:19:44.520 HERE,

00:19:45.520 THAT ARE TRYING

00:19:46.520 TO CONTINUE

00:19:47.520 THIS WAR

00:19:48.520 AND USING

00:19:49.520 SORT OF INTELL

00:19:50.520 OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE

00:19:51.520 TO JUST SORT OF,

00:19:52.520 YOU KNOW,

00:19:53.520 IT'S EASIER

00:19:54.520 TO CALL OUT A LIE, 0.94

00:19:55.520 RIGHT,

00:19:56.520 IF YOU CAN SEE

00:19:57.520 WHAT'S GOING ON,

00:19:58.520 LIKE YOU SAID,

00:19:59.520 IT'S SORT OF BIZZAR 0.88

00:20:00.520 THAT WE WOULD BE

00:20:01.520 GIVING THEM ACCESS

00:20:02.520 TO WHAT WOULD LIKELY

00:20:03.520 BE CLASSIFIED

00:20:04.520 DISCUSS

00:20:05.520 BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP

00:20:06.520 AND ANOTHER WORLD LEADER,

00:20:07.520 BUT DO YOU THINK

00:20:08.520 THIS IS NOW SORT OF

00:20:09.520 BEING USED

00:20:10.520 AS ANOTHER CRIME

00:20:11.520 PRO-RUSSIA 0.76

00:20:12.520 AND WE'RE SOFT ON RUSSIA

00:20:13.520 AND WE'RE NOT SHARING

00:20:14.520 INFORMATION,

00:20:15.520 JUST ANOTHER KIND OF

00:20:16.520 ITERATION OF THAT?

00:20:17.520 YEAH,

00:20:18.520 LOOK,

00:20:19.520 100%,

00:20:20.520 THIS WAR IS ONGOING

00:20:21.520 24-7 IN WASHINGTON,

00:20:22.520 AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE.

00:20:23.520 THERE ARE PLENTY

00:20:24.520 OF PEOPLE

00:20:25.520 IN POWERFUL POSITIONS

00:20:27.520 THAT WANT THIS WAR

00:20:28.520 TO GO ON,

00:20:29.520 THAT DON'T WANT

00:20:30.520 THESE PEACE

00:20:31.520 NEGOTIATIONS

00:20:32.520 AND THEY ARE TRYING,

00:20:33.520 THEY'RE GOING

00:20:34.520 TO GRAB A HOLD

00:20:35.520 OF ANYTHING.

00:20:36.520 SO, IF THE INTELLIGENCE

00:20:37.520 HAD BEEN LEAKED,

00:20:38.520 I MEAN,

00:20:39.520 IF IT GOES TO THE BRITS

00:20:40.520 OR GOES TO SOMEBODY ELSE,

00:20:41.520 IT'S GOING TO LEAK,

00:20:42.520 RIGHT?

00:20:43.520 IT'S THE SAME AS,

00:20:44.520 MIGHT AS WELL HAND IT

00:20:45.520 TO THE TIMES IN LONDON.

00:20:46.520 ONCE IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS,

00:20:47.520 IT'S GOING EVERYWHERE.

00:20:48.520 SO, IN ADDITION TO THAT,

00:20:51.520 THE FACT THAT THE INFORMATION

00:20:52.520 WOULD HAVE BEEN USED

00:20:53.520 IF IT WAS LEAKED,

00:20:54.520 NOW THE FACT THAT

00:20:55.520 SHE'S NOT PASSING

00:20:56.520 THE INFORMATION

00:20:57.520 IS GOING TO BE USED.

00:20:58.520 I MEAN, ANY DECISION

00:20:59.520 THAT'S MADE,

00:21:00.520 THE CHANT ON THE OTHER SIDE,

00:21:03.520 THE MANTRA IS GOING TO BE, 0.92

00:21:04.520 YOU KNOW,

00:21:05.520 IT'S GOING TO BE HARMFUL

00:21:07.520 TO AMERICAN NATIONAL SECURITY

00:21:09.520 AND PUTIN OWNS US

00:21:10.520 AND WE'RE TOO PRO-RUSSIAN

00:21:12.520 AND ALL OF THAT.

00:21:13.520 A LOT OF REALLY POWERFUL PEOPLE

00:21:15.520 WANT THIS WAR TO CONTINUE.

00:21:17.520 FOREVER, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.

00:21:20.520 SAM FADIS, AS ALWAYS,

00:21:21.520 THANK YOU SO MUCH

00:21:22.520 FOR JOINING US.

00:21:35.520 EVERYWHERE ELSE

00:21:36.520 WE ARE ON THE WEB.

00:21:37.520 THANKS, NATALIE.

00:21:38.520 THANK YOU, SIR,

00:21:39.520 FOR JOINING US.

00:21:40.520 I APPRECIATE IT.

00:21:43.520 LIKE I ALWAYS BRING UP, TOO,

00:21:45.520 SO MANY OF THESE HUGE,

00:21:46.520 WHAT, SEVERAL BILLION DOLLAR,

00:21:48.520 HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR

00:21:49.520 CONTRACTS THAT WE'VE SEEN

00:21:50.520 GO TO UKRAINE, 0.98

00:21:52.520 ITEMIZED ON THE USA SPENDING

00:21:54.520 WEBSITE AS PRIMARILY TO THE

00:21:56.520 BIG DEFENSE CONTRACTORS,

00:21:58.520 BOEING,

00:22:00.520 RAITHEON,

00:22:01.520 TAKE YOUR PICK,

00:22:02.520 LOCKHEED,

00:22:03.520 THEY'RE ALL AUTHORIZED 0.99

00:22:04.520 THROUGH THE YEAR 2032

00:22:05.520 IN SOME CASES.

00:22:06.520 THERE'S DOZENS OF CONTRACTS

00:22:08.520 THAT ARE ACTIVE THROUGH

00:22:09.520 THE LATE 2020s,

00:22:10.520 BUT, OR RATHER,

00:22:11.520 2033,

00:22:12.520 THAT'S NOT EVEN EFFECTING

00:22:14.520 JUST THIS PRESIDENTIAL

00:22:15.520 CYCLE,

00:22:16.520 THAT'S THE ONE AFTER

00:22:17.520 IN THE CAMPAIGN SEASON

00:22:18.520 OF THE ONE AFTER THAT.

00:22:19.520 IT'S ABSOLUTELY

00:22:20.520 RIDICULOUS

00:22:21.520 IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT

00:22:22.520 WHAT THE DEEP STATE

00:22:23.520 OR THE PERMANENT POLITICAL

00:22:24.520 CLASS EXISTS,

00:22:25.520 OR I GUESS,

00:22:26.520 AS I CALLED IT DURING

00:22:27.520 THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT,

00:22:28.520 THE STEADY STATE,

00:22:29.520 THE IDEA THAT THERE IS

00:22:30.520 A CONSENSUS-DRIVEN GROUP 0.89

00:22:31.520 OF PEOPLE

00:22:32.520 WHO PUSH THAT

00:22:33.520 WASHINGTON CONSENSUS

00:22:34.520 OF FOREIGN POLICY.

00:22:35.520 I THINK THERE'S

00:22:36.520 NO BETTER EVIDENCE

00:22:37.520 THAN, FRANKLY,

00:22:38.520 THE OUTRAGE TO TOLSEY'S 1.00

00:22:39.520 DECISION TO DO THIS

00:22:40.520 WITH INTEL SHARING,

00:22:41.520 OR EVEN A LOT OF THESE

00:22:42.520 GOVERNMENT GRANTS

00:22:43.520 AND CONTRACTS

00:22:44.520 WHICH SHOW THAT THEY

00:22:45.520 WANT TO TURN THIS

00:22:46.520 INTO THE NEXT

00:22:47.520 FOREVER WAR.

00:22:48.520 TO THEIR CREDIT,

00:22:49.520 IT'S BEEN GOING ON

00:22:50.520 TOO MANY YEARS,

00:22:51.520 MAYBE WE'LL PUT IT

00:22:52.520 FOREVER WITH A LITTLE F,

00:22:54.520 BUT THEY'RE VERY CLEAR,

00:22:56.520 NO CLANDESTINE

00:22:57.520 ACTIVITY THERE

00:22:58.520 ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT

00:22:59.520 THE UKRAINE SITUATION 0.99

00:23:00.520 TO TURN INTO.

00:23:02.520 SPEAKING OF INTEL,

00:23:04.520 ALTHOUGH NOT THAT KIND,

00:23:06.520 THE COMPANY, THE CHIP,

00:23:07.520 ALL THE TECH STUFF

00:23:08.520 GOING ON,

00:23:09.520 THE DRAMA THERE

00:23:10.520 WITH INTEL,

00:23:11.520 THE VIDEO,

00:23:12.520 THE SEMICONDUCTORS,

00:23:13.520 AND EVERYTHING THAT,

00:23:14.520 AGAIN, I THINK SORT OF

00:23:15.520 GOES BACK TO WHAT WE

00:23:16.520 STARTED THE SHOW WITH,

00:23:17.520 THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY,

00:23:19.520 IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT

00:23:20.520 OF THESE DEALS

00:23:21.520 THAT ARE BEING NEGOTIATED

00:23:22.520 OR EXPORT RESTRICTIONS

00:23:23.520 THAT ARE BEING,

00:23:24.520 YOU KNOW, LIFTED

00:23:25.520 AND IMPLEMENTED,

00:23:26.520 AND THIS SORT OF BACK

00:23:27.520 AND FORTH IT ALL

00:23:28.520 IS BEING VIEWED,

00:23:29.520 I THINK,

00:23:30.520 SORT OF ALARMINGLY

00:23:31.520 THROUGH THE PARADIM

00:23:32.520 OF NATIONAL SECURITY,

00:23:33.520 PARTICULARLY GIVING,

00:23:34.520 YOU KNOW,

00:23:35.520 CHINA AN UNNECESSARY 1.00

00:23:36.520 LEG UP ON US

00:23:37.520 IN THE REALM

00:23:38.520 OF ADVANCED CHIPS,

00:23:40.520 AND RICH STERN,

00:23:41.520 WHO WE LOVE HERE

00:23:42.520 IN THE WAR ROOM,

00:23:43.520 I WANTED TO HAVE YOU

00:23:44.520 BEFORE WE PIVOT TO THAT,

00:23:45.520 JUST BECAUSE WE WERE

00:23:46.520 TALKING ABOUT CHINA

00:23:47.520 WITH SAM,

00:23:48.520 I'D LOVE IF YOU COULD

00:23:49.520 BRING US UP TO SPEED

00:23:50.520 ON THIS SORT OF

00:23:51.520 INTEL CHIP DEBATE.

00:23:52.520 OH, WELL, YOU KNOW,

00:23:53.520 I ALWAYS LIKE

00:23:54.520 MY FED DRAMA MIXED

00:23:55.520 WITH A LITTLE

00:23:56.520 INDUSTRIAL POLICY

00:23:57.520 AS WELL, YOU KNOW.

00:23:58.520 SO I THINK THE BIG

00:23:59.520 THING HERE WE GOT

00:24:00.520 TO KEEP IN MIND

00:24:01.520 IS AS MUCH AS YOU

00:24:02.520 MIGHT BE CONCERNED,

00:24:03.520 AND I CERTAINLY AM,

00:24:04.520 WITH A MILITARY

00:24:05.520 INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX,

00:24:06.520 YOU SHOULD BE MORE

00:24:07.520 CONCERNED ABOUT ONE

00:24:08.520 WE SHARE WITH

00:24:09.520 THE COMMUNIST PARTY.

00:24:10.520 AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS,

00:24:11.520 OF COURSE, IS THAT

00:24:12.520 THE CEO OF INTEL

00:24:13.520 HAS CONNECTIONS

00:24:14.520 TO THE CHINESE

00:24:15.520 GOVERNMENT.

00:24:16.520 AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW,

00:24:17.520 WE HAVE THESE

00:24:18.520 EXPORT CONTROLS

00:24:19.520 ON OUR CHIPS

00:24:20.520 TO ENSURE THAT

00:24:21.520 OUR HIGH TECHNOLOGY

00:24:22.520 DOES NOT GET

00:24:23.520 INTO THE HANDS

00:24:24.520 OF THE CHINESE

00:24:25.520 COMMUNIST PARTY.

00:24:26.520 AND INSTEAD,

00:24:27.520 TRAGICALLY,

00:24:28.520 THE TRUMP ADMIN

00:24:29.520 SEEMS TO BE ALLOWING 0.51

00:24:30.520 THEM TO BE LIFTED

00:24:31.520 SO THAT AMD

00:24:32.520 AND NVIDIA

00:24:33.520 AND INTEL

00:24:34.520 WILL BE ABLE TO

00:24:35.520 MAKE THESE CHIPS

00:24:36.520 AND SELL THEM

00:24:37.520 AND OF COURSE,

00:24:38.520 YOU CAN SEE THAT,

00:24:39.520 SEPARATE FROM INTEL,

00:24:40.520 IN THE NEGOTIATIONS

00:24:41.520 DIRECTLY BETWEEN

00:24:42.520 THE ADMIN

00:24:43.520 AND NVIDIA

00:24:44.520 AND AMD

00:24:45.520 WILL ALLOW THEM

00:24:46.520 TO SELL THESE CHIPS

00:24:47.520 IN CHINA

00:24:48.520 AND PAY NEARLY

00:24:49.520 A 15% SALES TAX

00:24:50.520 BACK TO THE

00:24:51.520 U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

00:24:52.520 AND SO,

00:24:53.520 THIS REALLY SEEMS

00:24:54.520 TO BE AN ATTEMPT

00:24:55.520 TO PUT MONEY

00:24:56.520 OVER THE NATIONAL

00:24:57.520 SECURITY INTERESTS

00:24:58.520 AND A HOLLOWING OUT

00:24:59.520 OF THOSE GUARDRAILS

00:25:00.520 AGAINST CHINA

00:25:01.520 GETTING THESE CHIPS,

00:25:02.520 AND IT'S UNCLEAR

00:25:03.520 WHAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC

00:25:04.520 GETS OUT OF THIS.

00:25:07.520 AND RICH,

00:25:08.520 I WANT TO PLAY A CLIP

00:25:09.520 FROM THE CABINET MEETING

00:25:10.520 TODAY,

00:25:11.520 PRESIDENT SHRUMP,

00:25:12.520 TALKING ABOUT

00:25:13.520 THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

00:25:14.520 AT THE FED.

00:25:15.520 DENVER,

00:25:16.520 LET'S ROLL IT,

00:25:17.520 AND WE'LL GET RICH'S

00:25:18.520 COMMENTS

00:25:19.520 ON THE OTHER SIDE.

00:25:20.520 THE QUESTION,

00:25:21.520 IS YOU CONSIDERING FOR

00:25:22.520 THE REPLACEMENT TO

00:25:23.520 NOMINATE FOR LISA COOK

00:25:24.520 AND WHAT ECONOMIC

00:25:25.520 BACKGROUND OR HISTORY

00:25:26.520 ARE YOU...

00:25:27.520 WELL, WE HAVE SOME

00:25:28.520 VERY GOOD PEOPLE

00:25:29.520 FOR THAT POSITION,

00:25:30.520 AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME

00:25:31.520 VERY GOOD PEOPLE.

00:25:32.520 WE'RE DOWN TO, I MEAN,

00:25:33.520 I THINK I MAYBE IN MY OWN

00:25:34.520 MIND HAVE SOMEBODY THAT I

00:25:36.520 LIKE, BUT I DEAL WITH SCOTT

00:25:38.520 AND I DEAL WITH HOWARD

00:25:39.520 AND WE'RE DEALING WITH

00:25:40.520 A LOT OF PEOPLE,

00:25:41.520 ACTUALLY, THAT ARE GOING

00:25:42.520 TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT

00:25:43.520 DECISION, ALTHOUGH.

00:25:44.520 IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT

00:25:45.520 DECISION.

00:25:46.520 I MEAN, I GOT A BAD

00:25:47.520 RECOMMENDATION WHEN I WENT

00:25:49.520 WITH JEROME TOO LATE.

00:25:51.520 YOU KNOW, HE'S TOO LATE.

00:25:53.520 NICKNAME IS TOO LATE.

00:25:55.520 COSTING US A LOT OF MONEY,

00:25:58.520 HURTING THE HOUSING.

00:25:59.520 I MEAN, OUR HOUSING

00:26:00.520 INDUSTRY IS GOOD,

00:26:01.520 BUT IT COULD BE PHENOMENAL.

00:26:02.520 MOST OF THIS COUNTRY IN

00:26:04.520 TERMS, ECONOMIC TERMS,

00:26:05.520 HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL.

00:26:07.520 WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

00:26:08.520 LIKE IT.

00:26:09.520 BECAUSE OF HIM AND HIS

00:26:10.520 HIGH INTEREST RATES,

00:26:12.520 THE HOUSING IS LESS

00:26:13.520 THAN IT COULD BE.

00:26:15.520 WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT

00:26:16.520 STRAIGHTENED OUT VERY QUICKLY.

00:26:17.520 HE GETS OUT VERY QUICKLY.

00:26:18.520 FORTUNATELY.

00:26:19.520 HE'S BEEN THE WRONG GUY.

00:26:20.520 NOT A BAD PERSON, I DON'T

00:26:21.520 THINK.

00:26:22.520 BUT, YOU KNOW, I DO THINK

00:26:23.520 HE HAS MOTIVES, BY THE WAY.

00:26:24.520 BUT I DON'T CONSIDER HIM.

00:26:26.520 I'VE DEALT WITH WORSE.

00:26:27.520 BUT HE HASN'T DONE THE JOB.

00:26:29.520 THE RECOMMENDATION FROM A

00:26:31.520 CERTAIN PERSON WAS NOT A

00:26:32.520 GREAT RECOMMENDATION.

00:26:33.520 THAT PERSON VOUCHED FOR HIM.

00:26:35.520 BUT WE'RE DOING A VERY CAREFUL

00:26:37.520 STUDY.

00:26:38.520 WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

00:26:39.520 LOOK, WE HAVE, WE JUST PUT A

00:26:40.520 VERY GOOD MAN IN ONE POSITION.

00:26:44.520 WE MIGHT SWITCH HIM TO THE

00:26:46.520 OTHER.

00:26:47.520 IT'S A LONGER TERM AND PICK

00:26:48.520 SOMEBODY ELSE.

00:26:49.520 BUT WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THE

00:26:50.520 PERSON WE HAVE IN THERE.

00:26:52.520 AND WE'LL HAVE A MAJORITY VERY

00:26:53.520 SHORTLY.

00:26:54.520 SO THAT WILL BE GREAT.

00:26:55.520 ONCE WE HAVE A MAJORITY, HOUSING

00:26:57.520 IS GOING TO SWING AND IT'S GOING

00:26:59.520 TO BE GREAT.

00:27:00.520 PEOPLE ARE PAYING TOO HIGH AN 0.99

00:27:02.520 INTEREST RATE.

00:27:03.520 THAT'S THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH

00:27:04.520 HOUSING.

00:27:05.520 WE HAVE TO GET THE RATES DOWN A

00:27:06.520 LITTLE BIT.

00:27:07.520 AND WHEN WE DO, IT'S GOING TO BE

00:27:08.520 A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE.

00:27:10.520 THE COUNTRY IS DOING SO WELL.

00:27:14.520 IT SORT OF BLOWS THROUGH THE

00:27:16.520 FACT THAT WE HAVE A MAN WHO'S

00:27:19.520 TOO LATE AND NOT DOING A VERY

00:27:20.520 GOOD JOB.

00:27:21.520 IS THE CONTINUED DIVIDE BETWEEN

00:27:23.520 TRUMP AND THE FEDERAL

00:27:24.520 RESERVE PUTTING US FLY

00:27:25.520 BEHIND THE CURVE AGAIN?

00:27:26.520 CAN THE FED TAKE THE RIGHT

00:27:27.520 ACTION AT THE RIGHT TIME?

00:27:28.520 OR ARE WE GOING TO BE LOOKING

00:27:29.520 AT A POTENTIAL ECONOMIC

00:27:30.520 SLOWDOWN?

00:27:31.520 AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR

00:27:32.520 YOUR SAVINGS?

00:28:02.520 CONSIDER DIVERSIFYING A

00:28:03.520 PORTION OF YOUR SAVINGS INTO

00:28:07.520 HAD OF THE CURVE FOR THE

00:28:08.520 COUNTRY, AT LEAST YOU CAN

00:28:09.520 STAY AHEAD FOR YOURSELF.

00:28:11.520 IF YOU GUYS RECALL, IT

00:28:12.520 WASN'T TOO LONG AGO THAT WE

00:28:13.520 BROKE THE STORY HERE ON WARRIV

00:28:15.520 ABOUT HOW THE CHINESE

00:28:16.520 COMMUNIST PARTY, THEIR 0.87

00:28:17.520 RESEARCHERS, WERE

00:28:18.520 ACTIVELY COMMINGLING WITH FED

00:28:19.520 RESEARCHERS AND PUMPING

00:28:20.520 OUT PAPERS THAT THEY WERE

00:28:22.520 USING TO ADVISE THE FED.

00:28:23.520 ABSOLUTELY WILD.

00:28:24.520 WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

00:29:52.520 Welcome back to The War Room.

00:29:57.520 We are still joined by Rich Stern.

00:29:59.520 Now, Rich, there are a lot of

00:30:01.520 truth social posts flying.

00:30:02.520 There is a lot of legalese

00:30:04.520 and lawfare flying.

00:30:05.520 There's a lot of firings,

00:30:06.520 attempted firings,

00:30:07.520 and people saying that

00:30:08.520 they're going to stay.

00:30:09.520 Can you help us cut through

00:30:11.520 the noise?

00:30:12.520 What is happening with

00:30:13.520 Lisa Cook? 0.70

00:30:14.520 If she's still there,

00:30:15.520 what your sort of assessment

00:30:16.520 is of what her future looks

00:30:17.520 like?

00:30:18.520 And, you know,

00:30:19.520 people who should be

00:30:20.520 filling that role

00:30:21.520 in lieu of her.

00:30:23.520 Well, you know,

00:30:24.520 the deep state always makes

00:30:25.520 a lot of noise on the way

00:30:26.520 out the door, right?

00:30:27.520 But, you know,

00:30:28.520 I will tell you this.

00:30:29.520 You know, Bill Pilty

00:30:30.520 had made a criminal referral

00:30:33.520 out of the housing department

00:30:34.520 about her mortgage application.

00:30:36.520 And I got to tell you,

00:30:37.520 looking at it,

00:30:38.520 it really does look like

00:30:39.520 Lisa Cook probably did commit 1.00

00:30:40.520 mortgage fraud,

00:30:41.520 which really is a serious crime.

00:30:43.520 I mean, she bought two different

00:30:44.520 homes in two different states,

00:30:46.520 two weeks apart from each other,

00:30:48.520 claiming both as a primary residence

00:30:50.520 to get better loan terms.

00:30:52.520 And then, frankly,

00:30:53.520 there's a whole question about

00:30:54.520 what she did with her taxes,

00:30:55.520 because you can also use that

00:30:57.520 to get better taxes.

00:30:58.520 So, you know,

00:30:59.520 a lot of people are trying

00:31:00.520 to politicize the firing.

00:31:01.520 But the truth is,

00:31:02.520 he's firing her for cause,

00:31:03.520 which is something the president's

00:31:04.520 got legal authority to do.

00:31:06.520 And if she committed a crime,

00:31:07.520 that's certainly cause enough.

00:31:09.520 But, you know,

00:31:10.520 to the other part

00:31:11.520 of your question there,

00:31:12.520 look, the Fed has made

00:31:13.520 a lot of decisions

00:31:14.520 that are very suspicious.

00:31:15.520 Cutting rates, you know,

00:31:16.520 a half point before the election

00:31:18.520 certainly was,

00:31:19.520 it looked politically time.

00:31:20.520 There's good reason

00:31:21.520 the question that there's

00:31:22.520 a lot of people

00:31:23.520 that have done so.

00:31:24.520 And then, you know,

00:31:25.520 going forward,

00:31:26.520 it's important that the Fed

00:31:27.520 makes decisions

00:31:28.520 that are transparent,

00:31:29.520 that people trust.

00:31:30.520 It's important to have people

00:31:31.520 there that,

00:31:32.520 unlike Lisa Cook,

00:31:33.520 don't have a DEI background.

00:31:34.520 I don't mean her.

00:31:35.520 I mean her work focused

00:31:37.520 on promoting DEI.

00:31:39.520 So it's important

00:31:40.520 we have people there

00:31:41.520 that are really focused

00:31:42.520 on the American economy,

00:31:43.520 the American public,

00:31:44.520 and a transparent process

00:31:46.520 of the Fed.

00:31:47.520 And just give us a few minutes

00:31:49.520 on, you know,

00:31:50.520 are there names being floated

00:31:52.520 of people who could,

00:31:53.520 who could replace her? 0.73

00:31:54.520 Obviously,

00:31:55.520 they're making it like it's

00:31:56.520 some hyper-political witch hunt,

00:31:57.520 but I think you hit the nail

00:31:58.520 on the head.

00:31:59.520 She's actually the really

00:32:00.520 politicized one.

00:32:01.520 It's just about the economy,

00:32:03.520 the data, the numbers.

00:32:04.520 Don't lie,

00:32:05.520 but what would the sort

00:32:06.520 of timeline look like

00:32:08.520 for replacing her?

00:32:09.520 And are there any,

00:32:10.520 you know, names or people

00:32:11.520 that you think would be

00:32:12.520 logical picks for the president?

00:32:14.520 Well, certainly,

00:32:15.520 Judith Shelton's been somebody

00:32:16.520 that's been talked about a lot.

00:32:18.520 There are other people in there.

00:32:19.520 You know,

00:32:20.520 the impression the president gave

00:32:21.520 is that he might move Moran over

00:32:23.520 so he's got more time

00:32:24.520 in the term,

00:32:25.520 something like that.

00:32:26.520 But I think there were

00:32:27.520 a lot of good conservative economists

00:32:29.520 and people who frankly

00:32:30.520 understand how markets work,

00:32:32.520 who are not, you know,

00:32:33.520 like the liberals that get in,

00:32:35.520 going to go in and try to use

00:32:36.520 the Federal Reserve as a state bank

00:32:39.520 to promote woke and DI,

00:32:41.520 you know, operations and activities,

00:32:43.520 which frankly, you know,

00:32:44.520 the new prime minister in Canada,

00:32:45.520 a lot of people realize this,

00:32:47.520 he was a central bank chairman

00:32:48.520 for two different central banks

00:32:50.520 and came up with the architecture

00:32:52.520 of these woke focused central banks.

00:32:54.520 So it's time to clear that out.

00:32:56.520 There were a lot of good economists

00:32:58.520 who would do the job well,

00:32:59.520 who understand what matters,

00:33:01.520 who would come in without an agenda.

00:33:03.520 Now, in terms of timeline,

00:33:04.520 the one critical thing here is,

00:33:05.520 it's a little unprecedented.

00:33:07.520 It's frankly unprecedented

00:33:08.520 to have a Fed governor

00:33:10.520 who seemed to have committed

00:33:11.520 a crime of this kind of caliber.

00:33:13.520 And so we'll have to see

00:33:14.520 how the legal proceedings

00:33:15.520 go over that.

00:33:16.520 I'm sure there's gonna be

00:33:17.520 a lot of legal drama

00:33:18.520 getting her out the door 0.63

00:33:19.520 and adjudicating what crime

00:33:21.520 she may or may not have committed

00:33:23.520 and how that's gonna work.

00:33:24.520 But I think once that's cleared up,

00:33:25.520 if she's gone,

00:33:26.520 I think the president

00:33:27.520 will want to move quickly.

00:33:28.520 He'll want to reassure markets,

00:33:30.520 make sure we have a good,

00:33:31.520 you know,

00:33:32.520 board of governors at the Fed

00:33:33.520 who can get right into it,

00:33:35.520 you know, boots on the ground,

00:33:36.520 so to speak.

00:33:38.520 Richard Stern, as always,

00:33:39.520 thank you so much for joining us

00:33:40.520 here in the War Room.

00:33:41.520 War Room, if people want

00:33:42.520 to follow you,

00:33:43.520 hopefully we can have you back

00:33:44.520 on giving us analysis

00:33:45.520 of the new member,

00:33:48.520 not her, she's gone,

00:33:49.520 maybe facing some investigations

00:33:51.520 for her mortgage fraud, allegedly.

00:33:53.520 Where can people follow you

00:33:55.520 in the meantime?

00:33:56.520 Well, fingers crossed on that one.

00:33:58.520 It's always a pleasure

00:33:59.520 and an honor to be here.

00:34:00.520 You can find me

00:34:01.520 at Rich A. Stern on Twitter

00:34:02.520 and of course you can go

00:34:03.520 to heritage.org

00:34:04.520 and find everything I read

00:34:05.520 and that of all my colleagues

00:34:06.520 and what the whole team

00:34:07.520 at the Heritage Foundation

00:34:08.520 put together.

00:34:09.520 So thank you again as always.

00:34:11.520 Thank you, sir, for joining us.

00:34:15.520 As I was briefly alluding to

00:34:17.520 before we jumped to break,

00:34:18.520 obviously there's a lot

00:34:19.520 of research papers

00:34:20.520 that are published directly

00:34:21.520 on various Fed

00:34:23.520 Fed or regional Fed websites

00:34:25.520 that are actively advising

00:34:26.520 either through conference forums

00:34:28.520 or the papers themselves,

00:34:29.520 Fed policy that are co-authored

00:34:31.520 by researchers

00:34:32.520 from Chinese Communist Party-run universities.

00:34:35.520 Try to make that make sense.

00:34:37.520 You can't.

00:34:38.520 But there was also

00:34:39.520 a very robust Senate report

00:34:40.520 that was released

00:34:41.520 about two years ago

00:34:42.520 talking about PRC infiltration

00:34:44.520 of the Fed,

00:34:46.520 even including,

00:34:47.520 but not limited to,

00:34:48.520 Fed officials being detained

00:34:50.520 in China several times

00:34:52.520 while Chinese authorities

00:34:54.520 tried to steal documents

00:34:55.520 from them,

00:34:56.520 compelling, coercing

00:34:57.520 these individuals

00:34:58.520 into signing documents

00:34:59.520 to say that they

00:35:00.520 wouldn't talk about it.

00:35:01.520 And of course,

00:35:02.520 there's the very high-profile case,

00:35:03.520 I think,

00:35:04.520 being worked out right now,

00:35:05.520 but a man who I believe

00:35:06.520 resides in,

00:35:07.520 in Northern Virginia,

00:35:08.520 was the Trump administration

00:35:09.520 that I think issued.

00:35:11.520 It was the DOJ,

00:35:12.520 sealed the deal on it,

00:35:13.520 but a guy who was leaking

00:35:14.520 classified documents under,

00:35:16.520 might I go back to where

00:35:17.520 we started this show,

00:35:18.520 the false pretense

00:35:19.520 of being a university professor

00:35:21.520 at a China-based school

00:35:23.520 for the proof

00:35:24.520 that they use academia

00:35:25.520 as yet another arrow

00:35:27.520 in the quiver

00:35:28.520 to take down

00:35:29.520 the United States of America.

00:35:31.520 It's unrestricted warfare

00:35:32.520 at its finest,

00:35:33.520 but that the Fed

00:35:34.520 has really created

00:35:35.520 a full-out,

00:35:36.520 very concerted effort

00:35:37.520 to get former

00:35:38.520 and even current

00:35:39.520 Fed officials

00:35:40.520 to leak them documents,

00:35:41.520 to leak them

00:35:42.520 classified numbers,

00:35:43.520 figures,

00:35:44.520 you name it.

00:35:45.520 If they're going after the Fed,

00:35:46.520 I can guarantee you

00:35:47.520 they're going after

00:35:48.520 every department,

00:35:49.520 every agency

00:35:50.520 here in the United States,

00:35:51.520 which is something

00:35:52.520 that our next guest,

00:35:53.520 Cleo Pascal,

00:35:54.520 knows.

00:35:55.520 Not just something,

00:35:56.520 but frankly,

00:35:57.520 everything about,

00:35:58.520 if it's even possible

00:35:59.520 to know everything about,

00:36:00.520 such a robust political

00:36:01.520 warfare operation.

00:36:02.520 But you've really been

00:36:03.520 at the forefront,

00:36:04.520 keeping not just this show,

00:36:05.520 but really,

00:36:06.520 I think the country,

00:36:07.520 really on the front lines

00:36:09.520 on the front lines

00:36:10.520 of what's going on

00:36:11.520 in the Mariana Islands,

00:36:12.520 everywhere,

00:36:13.520 Saipan,

00:36:14.520 you name it,

00:36:15.520 you've really been doing

00:36:16.520 some wonderful reporting

00:36:17.520 and you're here to bring us

00:36:18.520 some updates.

00:36:19.520 You got some good clips for us,

00:36:21.520 as we call them,

00:36:22.520 the receipts here

00:36:23.520 in the war room.

00:36:24.520 So give us a little redux

00:36:26.520 of everything you've been

00:36:27.520 talking about,

00:36:28.520 but then give us the updates,

00:36:29.520 please, ma'am.

00:36:30.520 Yeah, sure, I will.

00:36:31.520 And I have to say,

00:36:32.520 I was at a think tank

00:36:34.520 in the UK called Chatham House

00:36:35.520 for about a decade

00:36:36.520 and I still have

00:36:37.520 the related scars to show it.

00:36:39.520 So I can,

00:36:40.520 if you want,

00:36:41.520 at some point we can talk

00:36:42.520 about what's going on

00:36:43.520 in the UK academic community,

00:36:45.520 which is kind of off the charts

00:36:48.520 and does have a direct effect

00:36:49.520 on US security

00:36:50.520 around things like

00:36:51.520 the Diego Garcia base.

00:36:53.520 But today,

00:36:54.520 we're going to update

00:36:55.520 what's been going on

00:36:56.520 in the Commonwealth

00:36:57.520 of Northern Mariana Islands,

00:36:58.520 which is something that

00:36:59.520 the war room posse

00:37:01.520 has been really touchingly

00:37:03.520 committed to following,

00:37:05.520 especially since the death

00:37:07.520 of Governor Palacios

00:37:09.520 on July 23rd.

00:37:10.520 So this is a US territory.

00:37:12.520 This is,

00:37:13.520 these are US citizens.

00:37:14.520 It's just above Guam.

00:37:16.520 The closest island

00:37:17.520 in the Northern Mariana

00:37:19.520 to Guam is about 60 miles away,

00:37:21.520 which is within a legal

00:37:23.520 boating distance.

00:37:24.520 If you've,

00:37:25.520 if you're one of the Chinese,

00:37:26.520 many, many Chinese

00:37:27.520 who come in

00:37:28.520 to the Commonwealth

00:37:29.520 of Northern Mariana

00:37:30.520 is legally without a visa.

00:37:32.520 It is still

00:37:33.520 the only part

00:37:34.520 of the United States

00:37:35.520 where Chinese

00:37:36.520 can come in

00:37:37.520 without a visa.

00:37:38.520 They're not supposed

00:37:39.520 to leave the Commonwealth

00:37:40.520 of Northern Mariana Islands,

00:37:41.520 but they are.

00:37:42.520 They're getting to Guam.

00:37:44.520 They're buying illegal,

00:37:45.520 illegally buying

00:37:46.520 US driver's licenses.

00:37:47.520 In Guam,

00:37:48.520 they've been found

00:37:49.520 on US military bases.

00:37:50.520 This is something

00:37:51.520 that has been

00:37:52.520 of great concern

00:37:53.520 to Congress

00:37:54.520 for a long time.

00:37:56.520 In November 23rd,

00:37:57.520 32 members of Congress,

00:37:59.520 including current Secretary of State,

00:38:02.520 Rubio,

00:38:03.520 wrote a letter

00:38:04.520 to then Secretary Mayorkas

00:38:06.520 saying,

00:38:07.520 close this loophole,

00:38:08.520 make it so that

00:38:09.520 every Chinese

00:38:10.520 who comes into the US

00:38:11.520 has to get a visa.

00:38:12.520 But it didn't happen.

00:38:14.520 It didn't happen.

00:38:15.520 And when the Trump administration

00:38:18.520 came in,

00:38:19.520 there was,

00:38:20.520 the Biden administration

00:38:21.520 had just put in

00:38:22.520 something called

00:38:23.520 EVS TAP,

00:38:24.520 which is basically

00:38:25.520 an online form.

00:38:26.520 So the people

00:38:27.520 who were pushing

00:38:28.520 to let Chinese

00:38:29.520 come without a visa 0.63

00:38:30.520 were saying,

00:38:31.520 don't worry about it,

00:38:32.520 we've got this enhanced vetting,

00:38:33.520 they have to do

00:38:34.520 this EVS TAP,

00:38:35.520 which can sound

00:38:36.520 quite convincing,

00:38:37.520 but when you actually

00:38:38.520 look at it,

00:38:39.520 why isn't it a visa?

00:38:41.520 Why don't they just

00:38:42.520 have to go to the embassy,

00:38:43.520 like everybody else,

00:38:45.520 or the consulate,

00:38:46.520 and apply so that

00:38:48.520 an American official

00:38:49.520 can take a look at them?

00:38:50.520 Why do they get away

00:38:51.520 with just doing this

00:38:52.520 online form?

00:38:53.520 Why was that such

00:38:54.520 an important thing

00:38:55.520 for China

00:38:56.520 and those pushing 0.93

00:38:57.520 the Chinese line

00:38:58.520 to try to advance

00:39:00.520 in the US?

00:39:02.520 It's very hard to say,

00:39:03.520 but the woman 0.99

00:39:04.520 who represents,

00:39:05.520 who's the delegate

00:39:06.520 from the Commonwealth

00:39:07.520 of Northern Mariana Islands

00:39:08.520 in Congress,

00:39:10.520 she sits in Congress,

00:39:11.520 she's on committees,

00:39:12.520 has been very aggressively

00:39:14.520 going around to her

00:39:15.520 congressional members

00:39:16.520 to try to convince

00:39:17.520 them to support

00:39:18.520 this EVS TAP

00:39:20.520 so that Chinese 1.00

00:39:21.520 don't have to have

00:39:22.520 a visa.

00:39:23.520 And I think you,

00:39:24.520 you found a couple

00:39:25.520 of very good clips

00:39:26.520 of her describing

00:39:27.520 how she's been getting

00:39:29.520 congressional support.

00:39:30.520 So I don't know

00:39:31.520 if you want to play

00:39:32.520 either one of the clips,

00:39:33.520 one from Jim Jordan,

00:39:34.520 maybe?

00:39:35.520 Yeah, let's go ahead

00:39:36.520 and play the Jim Jordan

00:39:37.520 clip, Denver.

00:39:38.520 So the whole thing

00:39:40.520 with EBS app,

00:39:41.520 it's still vetting

00:39:42.520 for folks who are coming

00:39:43.520 in.

00:39:44.520 And it's an opportunity

00:39:45.520 to have a way better vetting

00:39:47.520 than what they had before

00:39:48.520 under that parole stuff.

00:39:50.520 And so basically,

00:39:52.520 we saw there was a problem

00:39:54.520 with what was going on

00:39:55.520 before, right?

00:39:56.520 That was an acknowledgement

00:39:57.520 from the CNMI

00:39:58.520 that something needed to be done.

00:39:59.520 And an additional layer

00:40:01.520 of scrutiny with regards

00:40:02.520 to the visa waiver program.

00:40:04.520 Everybody calls it

00:40:05.520 the China visa waiver program.

00:40:06.520 But actually,

00:40:07.520 this is a waiver program

00:40:08.520 that gives entry

00:40:10.520 to the CNMI

00:40:11.520 from various different countries,

00:40:13.520 right?

00:40:14.520 Not just China.

00:40:15.520 And so, you know,

00:40:16.520 this additional layer

00:40:17.520 of scrutiny

00:40:18.520 was recognized

00:40:19.520 by both sides, right?

00:40:21.520 That it was something

00:40:22.520 that was needed to be done

00:40:23.520 and was negotiated

00:40:25.520 through the 902 process

00:40:26.520 during Governor Torres'

00:40:28.520 administration, right?

00:40:31.520 And that's where we,

00:40:33.520 you know, we worked

00:40:34.520 with the Trump administration.

00:40:36.520 And so that was Trump one.

00:40:37.520 Now Trump two,

00:40:38.520 they're, you know,

00:40:39.520 reviewing all these

00:40:40.520 different programs.

00:40:41.520 So that's why it was on pause.

00:40:42.520 And, you know,

00:40:43.520 there was a lot of effort

00:40:44.520 that was put into

00:40:45.520 to get them

00:40:46.520 to expedite their review

00:40:49.520 and get that program moving.

00:40:50.520 A lot of folks from Congress,

00:40:52.520 folks that you met,

00:40:54.520 you know,

00:40:55.520 as a matter of fact,

00:40:56.520 Jim Jordan,

00:40:57.520 I saw him

00:40:59.520 at a conference meeting

00:41:00.520 just before I came out

00:41:01.520 here Monday.

00:41:03.520 And, you know,

00:41:04.520 he was so excited.

00:41:06.520 As soon as he heard,

00:41:07.520 because, you know,

00:41:08.520 he's at the, as you know,

00:41:09.520 he sits on the judiciary.

00:41:10.520 So he got a direct phone call

00:41:12.520 saying, hey,

00:41:13.520 it's back online.

00:41:14.520 And he calls me

00:41:15.520 and he's like,

00:41:16.520 did you hear?

00:41:19.520 And I'm like, EVS?

00:41:20.520 And he's like, yeah.

00:41:21.520 And then he was like,

00:41:22.520 I'm so excited for you guys.

00:41:23.520 And I'm like,

00:41:24.520 thanks for all your hard work.

00:41:25.520 So, you know.

00:41:27.520 I'm sorry,

00:41:28.520 but I thought

00:41:29.520 Representative Jordan

00:41:30.520 presents himself

00:41:31.520 as Mr.

00:41:32.520 Tough on China, 1.00

00:41:33.520 not making back channel

00:41:34.520 phone calls

00:41:35.520 to like CCP assets,

00:41:36.520 pushing very detrimental policies

00:41:38.520 to our national security.

00:41:40.520 Can you walk us?

00:41:41.520 Am I, am I crazy?

00:41:42.520 What did we just hear?

00:41:44.520 What did we just see?

00:41:45.520 So there's,

00:41:46.520 there were a lot of inaccuracies

00:41:49.520 in there as well.

00:41:50.520 So this is,

00:41:51.520 EVS TEP is just a China program.

00:41:53.520 And it's, and it's just so that

00:41:55.520 people in her position can say,

00:41:57.520 you know,

00:41:58.520 there's this enhanced vetting.

00:41:59.520 Well, there's,

00:42:00.520 why not a visa?

00:42:01.520 Just, it's not complicated.

00:42:03.520 Every Chinese coming into the U.S. 1.00

00:42:06.520 should have to have a visa.

00:42:07.520 There's just,

00:42:08.520 it shouldn't be complicated,

00:42:09.520 but they sold it

00:42:10.520 to these members of Congress

00:42:12.520 in a, in a way that kind of,

00:42:15.520 I must've convinced them.

00:42:16.520 And, and what,

00:42:17.520 what's been great as,

00:42:18.520 because you tweeted about it.

00:42:19.520 You did a great tweet thread.

00:42:20.520 I don't know if they want to put it up,

00:42:22.520 but I think on maybe August 12th or something.

00:42:25.520 And Tyler O'Neill from the Daily Signal.

00:42:28.520 Yeah.

00:42:29.520 I recommend people that you've got

00:42:31.520 many more receipts in there

00:42:32.520 that people might want to take a look at.

00:42:34.520 And Tyler O'Neill from the Daily Signal

00:42:37.520 picked up on, on your thread

00:42:39.520 and, and on another aspect,

00:42:41.520 which we can talk about.

00:42:42.520 Uh, and he called those congressional offices.

00:42:44.520 So he called Jim Jordan's office

00:42:46.520 and, and asked, or, you know,

00:42:49.520 what's going on?

00:42:50.520 And the reply from Jim Jordan's office was,

00:42:52.520 you could sort of hear the backpedaling.

00:42:54.520 Um, I'll, I'll read it.

00:42:56.520 Chairman Jordan simply inquired

00:42:58.520 about the program with DHS

00:42:59.520 on behalf of a colleague,

00:43:00.520 but ultimately the Trump administration

00:43:02.520 decided to push the program forward.

00:43:04.520 It is not something that he is actively pushing

00:43:06.520 out of the judiciary committee.

00:43:08.520 So, um, that's the Jim Jordan position.

00:43:12.520 Um, and the question is sort of,

00:43:14.520 what is, what is behind this for somebody

00:43:17.520 in, in her position?

00:43:18.520 And I don't know if you want to play the other clip,

00:43:20.520 the Brian Mast clip, which gives a little bit more insight

00:43:23.520 into, uh, some of the thinking or some of the phrasing,

00:43:27.520 uh, behind it.

00:43:28.520 I don't know if it's possible.

00:43:29.520 Absolutely perfect segue because we are just coming up against a break,

00:43:32.520 but we will come back.

00:43:33.520 But this is the point.

00:43:34.520 All these people talk very tough on China.

00:43:36.520 It's very cool.

00:43:37.520 We hear it's bipartisan, but in reality,

00:43:39.520 they talk tough on China to inflate the defense spending,

00:43:42.520 and we never see anything in return

00:43:43.520 while pushing bizarre programs like this.

00:43:46.520 We'll be right back.

00:43:47.520 You missed the IRS tax deadline.

00:43:51.520 You think it's just going to go away?

00:43:53.520 Well, think again.

00:43:54.520 The IRS doesn't mess around and they're applying pressure

00:43:57.520 like we haven't seen in years.

00:43:59.520 So if you haven't filed in a while,

00:44:01.520 even if you can't pay, don't wait.

00:45:09.520 I had a chat with Representative Mass out of Florida and, you know, it was recommended to me to develop a relationship with Congressman Mass because he has direct ear of the president and often travels down to Florida because the president goes down there to Mar-a-Lago, right, on Air Force One with the president.

00:45:31.520 So he has the ear of the president.

00:45:32.520 And I went up to him and I was like, listen, you know, I hear this about you.

00:45:36.520 I need some help.

00:45:37.520 This is the situation, right?

00:45:39.520 And, you know, coincidentally, the following day, the following day, I'm getting messages from the tour operators here on the ground that were seeing movement in terms of the processing.

00:45:52.520 And on, you know, the following morning, I had a transportation and infrastructure meeting.

00:45:56.520 So I went up and I was like, hey, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but, you know, here we are.

00:46:02.520 I just wanted to say thank you.

00:46:03.520 Right.

00:46:04.520 And what he tells me is that, listen, we're not anti-China.

00:46:08.520 We want their money.

00:46:10.520 You know, there's a clear differentiation between national security concerns and wanting money.

00:46:16.520 Right.

00:46:17.520 And what this is about at the end of the day is money.

00:46:22.520 You're back in the war room.

00:46:25.520 I think there, Cleo, another sort of interesting moment of the mask dropping.

00:46:29.520 They think they're just talking on some show, but there's an interesting tell there where it's like they are targeting people because of their proximity and influence to President Trump.

00:46:38.520 I think the operative question there being like, who is they?

00:46:41.520 Right.

00:46:42.520 She doesn't really specify.

00:46:43.520 I think you and I can probably fill in that blank.

00:46:46.520 But can you sort of explain how this is like a pattern that is more broadly replicated even down to the level of personnel infiltration in the Trump administration?

00:46:55.520 Yeah.

00:46:56.520 Well, this has been a consistent problem.

00:46:58.520 And the other thing that that was highlighted in that great Tyler O'Neill Daily Signal piece is what he was actually writing about was this man called Angel Demapan, who was her former legislative director, who has now been appointed deputy assistant secretary for insular and international affairs in the Department of Interior.

00:47:21.520 Now, that doesn't sound like a very important position, but it actually is core to hemispheric defense.

00:47:28.520 The Department of Interior oversees Guam, the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia and Marshall Islands.

00:47:38.520 These are this is this whole center of the Pacific.

00:47:41.520 That's what's between Hawaii and the Philippines and onward to Japan. 0.78

00:47:47.520 That whole core of the Pacific falls under the Department of Interior for historic reasons.

00:47:52.520 And this is now this guy who, according to the reporting by Tyler O'Neill, the FEC found that he took money from at least two Chinese companies when he was running as a politician in the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas.

00:48:08.340 One of them, a major Chinese casino that was running billions of dollars through the CNMI economy, through the Marianas economy, and the other one with that classic name, Honest Profit.

00:48:20.640 You've always got to trust a company called Honest Profit, a Chinese company, had both and others contributed to his election campaign.

00:48:29.500 And FEC found him guilty of that, but because of the statute of limitations, didn't pursue the case.

00:48:39.280 He was also the chief of staff to the previous governor before Governor Palacios, under his administration about $1.6 billion of federal funding hasn't been properly accounted for.

00:48:53.400 And remember, this is a location that has a population of about 45,000 people.

00:48:57.460 This is a lot of money, highly strategic location.

00:49:01.300 There was a Senate Armed Services Committee, congressional delegation in Tinian, which is part of Commonwealth of Northern Marianas, yesterday, looking at the new installations that are going in on Northfield that will be critical to hemispheric defense.

00:49:15.060 Highly strategic, very small population, large amounts of Chinese money flowing through directly into the pockets of local politicians,

00:49:23.020 one of whom is now the face of the Trump administration in one of the most strategically important locations for U.S. national defense.

00:49:31.320 So where do we stand on the personnel front?

00:49:38.160 Have we seen any movement?

00:49:40.320 I saw the Warren Posse lighting up a lot of these members of Congress, but I haven't seen any retractions.

00:49:45.920 I think in that Daily Signal article you mentioned, it seemed like, I think it was the NELS office, basically doubled down in their support for it.

00:49:53.740 So have we seen any movement?

00:49:56.940 No.

00:49:57.700 I mean, I think that, as you know better than anybody, Congress is a little bit like high school.

00:50:04.060 And she was the new girl.

00:50:06.880 She got elected this term.

00:50:09.460 And, you know, I don't want to denigrate a, you know, a hardworking female politician. 1.00

00:50:13.980 But that's if you're using that analogy of it being like high school.

00:50:17.800 So she came in.

00:50:18.940 Nobody really knew who she was.

00:50:20.780 She tells a good story.

00:50:22.480 It was very convincing.

00:50:24.140 And she basically burned a bunch of colleagues. 1.00

00:50:26.920 She's a Republican.

00:50:28.080 And she has made it so that Jim Jordan, Brian Mast, NELS are getting very uncomfortable calls about, like what you said.

00:50:39.360 You say you're tough on China, but you're supporting a program that lets Chinese into the U.S. without a visa. 0.94

00:50:44.600 So I think she's going to find her return to Congress a little bit less warm and fuzzy than her initial introduction to Congress.

00:50:51.720 There was a congressional delegation that was supposed to go out from the small business in August that has been postponed.

00:50:58.140 So I don't know what's happening behind the scenes.

00:51:01.560 But what there really needs to be is a Treasury investigation into what happened to that $1.6 billion of U.S. taxpayer money, because it certainly didn't go to benefit the people of the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas.

00:51:15.140 Their economy is in shambles.

00:51:16.880 They could have really used that money for rebuilding.

00:51:19.580 So that's nobody quite knows where it is.

00:51:22.400 And now that Governor Palacios has passed away, he was really holding the front line for for all of us, for America.

00:51:28.660 And you're starting to see things like they've announced the resumption of direct flights from Hong Kong to the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas.

00:51:37.660 She that that same member of Congress is pushing for reinstatement of Annex six of the U.S.-China transport agreement, which would allow unlimited flights from mainland China on Chinese carriers into the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

00:51:54.800 Again, this is the United States and into Guam and into Guam.

00:51:57.900 Annex six allows those direct flights to go into Guam as well.

00:52:01.400 So there's this undermining of U.S. security everywhere returned that defunct casino that was running billions of dollars.

00:52:09.260 Its assets were just purchased by another very shady company that looks like it also has ties to China.

00:52:15.220 And every single day you see headlines in in the newspaper in the Marianas of things like a Chinese drug dealer who is importing methamphetamine and lava lamps, other Chinese drug dealers who are selling meth near elementary schools.

00:52:33.080 The former chief of parole was found guilty of theft.

00:52:38.040 And Cleo, we're coming up against the end of the show.

00:52:39.980 We'll have to have you back on.

00:52:41.500 I just want to give you time.

00:52:42.460 If people want to get in contact with you, follow, stay up to date with everything you're working on.

00:52:45.800 Where can they go to do all that?

00:52:47.780 On X, it's just my name, Cleo Pascal, C-L-E-O-P-A-S-K-A-L.

00:52:51.760 And on Getter, it's real Cleo because somebody is unreal Cleo Pascal on Getter.
