00:00:00.000 Give us the contours of the deal.
00:00:03.900 Right.
00:00:04.500 Let's just just jump right into what President Trump is saying that they actually did agree
00:00:08.780 upon.
00:00:09.260 He said, number one, that there was an agreement on China that would be repurchasing soybeans
00:00:15.720 that they had effectively stopped purchasing over the course of the summer because of the
00:00:19.580 sky high tariffs that were placed on the United States at one point up to 145 percent.
00:00:24.180 But President Trump says that he agreed to drop the current tariff rate by 10 percent
00:00:29.700 because China committed to addressing the illegal fentanyl trafficking issue.
00:00:34.880 At the same time, when you drop it by just 10 percent, President Trump says that he is
00:00:39.300 still slapping a 47 percent tariff on all Chinese goods coming into the United States.
00:00:43.880 He did also suggest that China would make openings for rare earth minerals to be exported to the
00:00:51.040 United States.
00:00:51.640 We don't have details on exactly which rare earth minerals those are.
00:00:55.360 We know that was a key sticking point.
00:00:57.420 We also know that the president of the United States suggested that as part of this exchange
00:01:02.760 that he would allow for the exporting of U.S. produced semiconductors and chips and even
00:01:10.460 allow NVIDIA to engage directly with the Chinese government.
00:01:14.440 And so what was not discussed, number one, Taiwan, there was no word on the finalization of
00:01:19.820 a TikTok deal.
00:01:20.740 I am told that that did not come up over the course of the two hours of this meeting.
00:01:24.540 But also when we talk about the buying of soybeans, for example, and the agricultural
00:01:28.760 goods that the Trump administration is saying China committed to buying, I want to be very
00:01:34.340 clear.
00:01:35.000 And I think we've got a graphic where you can look at last 10 years about the amount of
00:01:39.920 soybeans that China has bought from the United States.
00:01:43.080 And you look at last year and in 2023, it was 26.8 and 26.4 million metric tons.
00:01:51.300 To put that in context, Scott Besson this morning said that China agreed to, at a minimum, purchase
00:01:57.100 over the next three years, each of the next three years, 25 million metric tons.
00:02:02.400 So the commitment that the president got on soybean purchases would be less than the amount
00:02:08.320 that they had bought in previous years.
00:02:09.740 The president went over there with the intention of bringing something back.
00:02:13.420 Is this enough?
00:02:14.140 Well, that's a great question, actually.
00:02:17.460 I mean, look, it's the old diplomatic strategy, right?
00:02:20.620 Take what you get, declare victory and go home.
00:02:23.100 Whether it is a victory or not, beyond being able to say you've got one, is the bigger question.
00:02:27.640 At this point, it looks like it's relatively modest.
00:02:30.340 It's obviously closer than they had been prior to the meeting, but not solving the bigger,
00:02:36.180 more sustained, more difficult issues that divide the United States and China.
00:02:42.140 I was struck when the president said that he gave this a 12 on a scale of 10 for being
00:02:46.120 a great meeting and that they made a lot of progress and were very close on some important
00:02:50.060 things.
00:02:50.680 That's almost word for word the things he said when he met in Alaska with Vladimir Putin.
00:02:54.420 I was there in the room for that.
00:02:55.640 He said it was a 10 out of 10, not 12, but it was a 10 out of 10, and they made a lot of
00:02:59.140 progress and were very close on some really important things.
00:03:01.280 And of course, we all know what happened after Alaska, which is nothing.
00:03:03.820 So, you know, you've got to be careful about over-evaluating how much this will be worth.
00:03:11.080 If it means, though, that there is sort of a kind of a truce in a way, that there is a
00:03:15.540 less hostile relationship for the now, and if the president is going to go to China, as
00:03:19.160 he said, now he's going to do next April, and then, of course, President Xi would then
00:03:22.740 visit the United States, that at least creates a pathway toward more constructive exchanges,
00:03:29.460 at least, rather than the sort of volatile and often hostile things we've been seeing
00:03:34.760 in the last nine or 10 months.
00:03:36.420 At the same time announcing the nuclear weapons testing and the resumption of that, what message
00:03:41.820 is that sending?
00:03:43.520 Well, that looks aimed at Russia, but of course, China has very strong concerns about this,
00:03:48.520 right?
00:03:48.780 China has been a growing nuclear power.
00:03:50.820 They have been increasing their nuclear arsenal after many years of not doing that to the point
00:03:55.600 that the Pentagon says that they're going to be much closer to the size of the American
00:04:00.020 and Russian arsenals within the next decade.
00:04:03.120 But Russia, I think, was what Trump was focused on, because Putin recently announced that they
00:04:08.960 had tested a nuclear-driven missile, not a nuclear warhead, not a nuclear explosion.
00:04:15.560 And so it's not entirely clear what Trump is talking about here.
00:04:17.900 If he's actually talking about a nuclear test, that is exploding a bomb, a warhead.
00:04:22.280 The United States hasn't done that since 1992, but neither has Russia or China.
00:04:26.280 They haven't done that in the last 30 years, for the most part, either.
00:04:29.260 And it would be a very big change in our security atmosphere.
00:04:33.220 I think probably what he's talking about is something that's meant to be equivalent to
00:04:37.520 what Russia did, which is some sort of nuclear-powered missile or device.
00:04:42.780 It may be that he doesn't even have a specific thing in mind.
00:04:44.840 He's just saying that to rattle sabers.
00:04:46.600 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:54.400 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:04:59.620 Here's the reason I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:05:03.880 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:05:05.780 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:05:07.220 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:05:09.900 It's going to happen.
00:05:11.160 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:05:14.580 Mega Media.
00:05:15.480 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:05:21.380 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:05:25.120 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:31.500 War Room.
00:05:32.340 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:05:40.220 Thursday, 30 October, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:05:43.980 It's still, by the way, have they started trick-or-treat over at the White House?
00:05:51.200 They have not?
00:05:52.080 Are we going to go live?
00:05:53.640 I'm always, you know, at least we'll start at the beginning.
00:05:57.220 It's kind of a, it's 530?
00:05:59.020 Okay, it's kind of a nasty, it's kind of a nasty day back here in D.C.
00:06:03.400 It's actually warmed up a bit, but started quite raw and very rainy, so I don't know if
00:06:07.280 the kids are going to be out there or not.
00:06:09.280 But we always try to do at least a little bit of the, of the trick-or-treat.
00:06:14.120 Mo Bannon joins me.
00:06:14.980 Are you here for the trick-or-treat?
00:06:16.120 Oh, yeah, I'm going to head right over to the White House.
00:06:19.120 I don't know, Mo shows up, oh, that's right, you're going to the last 600 meters.
00:06:23.320 Surprise.
00:06:23.920 Surprise.
00:06:25.080 Mo shows up, I'm only here for a couple hours, and then I hear the White House trick-or-treat.
00:06:29.980 You're here for the trick-or-treat, and you're here for the Easter egg hunt, right?
00:06:33.900 You're here, too.
00:06:34.580 So China, there's still been not a lot of clarity, even out of the Financial Times, etc.,
00:06:42.140 but I think if you look at CNN, if you look at Baker and Vaughn, of course the mainstream
00:06:48.120 media has always got to put the most negative spin on things for Trump.
00:06:52.400 Let's just go back, and I think we understand this now if they're talking to enough people,
00:06:57.540 and I can't emphasize enough, Trump was dealt an incredibly bad hand here, not just
00:07:04.580 the incompetence of the Biden administration, and quite frankly, the pro-China, the pro-CCP
00:07:11.040 of Biden and the Sun Hunter, and it gets down to rare earths, which happened on Obama's watch
00:07:18.640 when they bought the processing facility.
00:07:21.280 I still don't think that that was done with all the necessary approvals.
00:07:25.620 I'm trying to track that down.
00:07:26.840 And, of course, Biden was VP, and Biden was put in, Biden was, you're sitting there going,
00:07:31.540 just saying.
00:07:31.980 No conspiracies, but no coincidences.
00:07:36.000 I got to be careful.
00:07:38.860 Now that you're on the board at West Point, we can't, no, no more hot takes.
00:07:43.060 I've been better.
00:07:43.740 No hot takes.
00:07:47.200 The knife to the throat of the United States, and I can't emphasize this enough, and I don't
00:07:51.760 think anybody's doing a good enough job, even the business media, of saying exactly what
00:07:57.600 a terrible situation we were in.
00:08:00.020 The magnets and these other things associated with heavy rare earths would have put us in
00:08:05.860 a position with our heavy manufacturing, the production lines, that would shut down in
00:08:12.320 six, eight weeks.
00:08:14.100 President Trump, at least what we understand, got a one-year extension on that.
00:08:18.200 Will Australia be ready by then?
00:08:20.100 Will other processing?
00:08:21.080 I know Peter Navarro is on this 24-7.
00:08:23.880 Will this potential deal with Brazil?
00:08:26.200 Will the, I think, the road, the road that Burgum, Burgum is building, the 250-mile road, the
00:08:34.040 gravel road up through the wilderness of Alaska to, I don't know, the Arctic Circle?
00:08:37.900 Well, the search is on now to process and to get these rare earths to make sure that's
00:08:42.980 the supply chains.
00:08:45.440 Remember we had Rosemary on all the time with the API, the active pharmaceutical ingredients?
00:08:50.980 We talked about this years ago, how the Chinese Communist Party has strategically gone and got
00:08:56.260 these things like active pharmaceutical ingredients, API, that people just sit there and go, why
00:09:01.820 is that a big deal?
00:09:02.680 Well, it leads to everything that goes into generic medicine, and they control it.
00:09:06.700 They control that part of the supply chain, just like rare earths.
00:09:09.040 Most of rare earths are just dirt, but some of it is not.
00:09:13.440 President Trump and Besson had to come away with that.
00:09:16.820 They thought they had it back in June and July when they had the interim agreement.
00:09:21.280 Turns out they're not, because the Chinese Communist Party is always going to put a knife
00:09:23.660 to your throat.
00:09:24.280 Why?
00:09:25.480 Cleo Pascal, who I just think, I'm so proud of the China team we have here, just as such
00:09:29.800 a brilliant group of analysts and professionals.
00:09:32.820 But if she says, hey, you guys got to remember something, they're gangsters.
00:09:37.920 They're in business with the Chinese tongs.
00:09:40.200 This is why fentanyl is so bad.
00:09:42.700 Now, do we get enough fentanyl promises?
00:09:44.500 I don't know.
00:09:45.100 President Trump did back off on the tariffs.
00:09:47.680 As much as we're tariff guys and bring the jobs back, more importantly in that, because
00:09:53.400 you've got to look at the escalatory ladder or the, you know, up the value chain.
00:09:59.140 Right now, to me, this entire negotiation revolved around three central things.
00:10:03.440 Number one, advanced chip design and their access to advanced chips.
00:10:08.280 Number two was Taiwan, the defense of Taiwan for guess what?
00:10:11.500 Those chips, those plants, those facilities.
00:10:14.780 And number three was the rare earths, which allow us to continue as an industrial powerhouse.
00:10:20.300 If you don't settle those, all the soybeans and everything else, which is absolutely essential,
00:10:26.340 important, particularly important to the soybean farm reserve, they're going to fade over time.
00:10:31.420 These three, and you rank out what we need on deals.
00:10:35.500 And this is why Besant and Trump are a great team.
00:10:38.540 I think they're fantastic.
00:10:39.480 Now, the details, and the devil's in the details on this deal.
00:10:45.520 For instance, is Jensen Wong going to be the direct, they're going to be in discussions?
00:10:52.260 I mean, this is the guy that we saw, and I think that interview is from a month or two
00:10:55.960 ago, but he's laying out the issue, and he's saying it doesn't matter who, it's not important
00:11:01.840 who, what companies went or what countries went.
00:11:03.940 Hello.
00:11:04.700 Well, to Americans, Jensen, it's important.
00:11:06.980 And we need to, the whole thing I signed on AI the other day, I said a condition pressing
00:11:11.960 this is we have to stop, we have to take the argument away from the accelerationist that
00:11:16.580 the Chinese company's party is going to take the high ground and win, you know, after the
00:11:20.780 sputting moment, win the chip war. 0.98
00:11:22.500 It can't happen.
00:11:23.160 We cannot allow that to happen.
00:11:24.640 We can't allow any Chinese company to do it. 1.00
00:11:26.460 The way you do it, I don't know.
00:11:28.180 Let me throw out some random ideas.
00:11:29.340 What?
00:11:29.640 Cut them off of capital, cut them off of training, throw them out of the universities, get them 1.00
00:11:33.720 out of the national labs.
00:11:34.760 Don't let them steal any more technology.
00:11:37.400 Oh, by the way, no advanced chips, none.
00:11:41.040 And Jensen's making things, well, really, we want the future systems to be based off
00:11:45.100 this?
00:11:45.340 No.
00:11:46.060 They try to decouple from us on technology.
00:11:48.500 Let them decouple. 0.68
00:11:49.740 They shouldn't get access to it.
00:11:50.980 So one of the parts of the deal that's still unclear, do we have the final say?
00:11:56.820 So President Trump said no blackwall chips, which is the most advanced design, and assumed
00:12:00.520 that are no of these other advanced chips going forward.
00:12:04.260 So you just need the details on that.
00:12:06.380 And then, you know, we had Forrest and others, and I talked to others that thought it was
00:12:10.200 almost a precondition of even having the meeting and having the April meeting that some sort
00:12:15.640 of framework, some sort of framework for, with Taiwan would be worked out.
00:12:20.980 He said, no, we're adamant about the defense of Taiwan.
00:12:23.580 Forget the moral issues, the democracy, forget all that.
00:12:26.760 Just the practicality that it's, those are the most, that's the, those advanced chips drive
00:12:33.440 the American economy.
00:12:35.140 And you just can't, you just can't let them go, you know, willy nilly.
00:12:38.640 So, so much coming back, more clarity is going to be there.
00:12:42.360 I think Cleo may have had the best way to look at it. 0.92
00:12:45.020 It's two heavyweight title contenders that have finished kind of the first round, went
00:12:50.140 at each other hard, and they're backing off, and they're trying to, both sides are trying
00:12:53.700 to buy, buy some time here.
00:12:55.300 But President Trump, if he got just the extension for a year of full access to the rare earth,
00:13:02.520 that is his, I don't understand why these guys are sitting there going, well, I don't
00:13:05.240 know if he got any wins.
00:13:06.020 Yo, you're going to have your production lines shut down in six weeks. 0.96
00:13:09.200 Now, maybe people didn't explain it in those terms, so you don't understand it, but I see
00:13:15.120 for the, that, that big three, which are all kind of inextricably linked, the, you know,
00:13:19.920 the advanced chip design, right?
00:13:22.520 The defense of Taiwan and the rare earths, I just see wins all across the place.
00:13:30.220 And you definitely get some trade-offs.
00:13:31.900 You get some trade-offs in the tariffs in the absolute amount.
00:13:34.080 You definitely gave up something for fentanyl.
00:13:37.320 I'm not so sure that the guarantees they give, because they're gangsters, they may just give
00:13:41.880 you a lick and a promise. 0.78
00:13:43.220 So, but I think the president did, you know, the whole trip was magnificent, particularly
00:13:50.720 the reason, the way he kind of boxed them in a little bit.
00:13:52.620 So, not just that, here's what I really love about it.
00:13:55.800 He got up, I remember last time we were sitting there going, hey guys, the White House say,
00:13:59.600 he may be leaving at one o'clock.
00:14:01.300 I go, that's going to be a pretty short meeting, because it's only like an hour and a half.
00:14:05.560 Hey, at one o'clock, you know why?
00:14:06.980 Because the first lady said, you've got to be back, you've got to be back for the, for 0.88
00:14:10.460 the Halloween, yeah, I don't want you to miss that.
00:14:13.940 And so, President Trump went to Air Force One, got on, he's going to be back, he's going
00:14:16.800 to be at the Halloween celebration over at the, over at the White House.
00:14:21.420 5.30, we're going to cut to that.
00:14:22.800 Mo Bannon's here, we're going to talk a little 600 meters, we've got a, got a special event,

00:16:54.020 It was almost as though there was a boogeyman out there.
00:16:56.860 We were facing a lot more enemy than we had the capability to deal with.
00:17:02.100 They dug trenches.
00:17:03.340 They fortified houses.
00:17:05.180 They were ready.
00:17:06.400 We wanted to go.
00:17:08.100 We were just waiting on the edge of a knife.
00:17:10.360 When are we going to get to go?
00:17:12.140 The order is seize the city.
00:17:16.920 RPGs, small arms fire from everywhere.
00:17:22.040 Come on, come on, come on. 0.97
00:17:23.680 I told him that I wanted to go and he looked at me and said,
00:17:27.360 Sergeant, you're going to die.
00:17:30.820 The destruction is just horrible.
00:17:33.140 The hardest thing about fighting this enemy is they're not afraid to die.
00:17:39.520 If they're not afraid to die, then how do you fight them?
00:17:45.040 Cramps going down!
00:17:46.160 Be prepared to start at one end of the city and fight your way through to the other end.
00:17:56.900 There's firing going on.
00:17:58.620 There are grenades being thrown in the house.
00:18:00.960 He came hand-to-hand fighting.
00:18:04.340 It was so close.
00:18:06.320 Two selfless Marines run across this kill zone four times to pull Marines out of there.
00:18:13.800 I wasn't worried about, you know, getting shot or getting wounded.
00:18:29.680 I was worried about the guys to my left and right.
00:18:31.380 You always want to reassure these men that they've done their duty because that memory is seared into their soul.
00:18:43.300 They never forget it.
00:18:45.260 None of us do.
00:18:49.340 Foreign policy, I don't make it.
00:18:51.840 I just deliver the last 600 meters of it.
00:18:54.340 Okay, tonight, after 17 years being suppressed, the great film by Michael Pack about the Marines of 1st Fallujah, Najaf, and 2nd Fallujah.
00:19:07.560 And by the way, there are Army Special Forces here.
00:19:10.000 There's Air Force.
00:19:11.420 It's everything.
00:19:12.160 You see, as we roll up to the 250th commemoration of the birthday of the Marine Corps, the heart of the Marine Corps, which is an infantryman on a battlefield.
00:19:23.660 And it's incredible.
00:19:25.640 And after 17 years, it's going to premiere on the 250th anniversary, 10 November at 10 p.m., which is kind of the primetime slot for the documentaries and PBS shows.
00:19:37.780 They had the Robert F. Kennedy one last week.
00:19:40.140 So on the 10th, that's Monday, the 10th at 10 p.m., the last 600 meters after 17 years of not being seen.
00:19:47.640 And we're going to have a bunch of folks tonight for kind of a special screen.
00:19:53.520 I want to thank you for coming.
00:19:54.600 I want to thank you for organizing it with Gina Pack.
00:19:58.840 I know now that you're back up at West Point on the board, how important these veterans' affairs are for you,
00:20:05.960 how important it is to make sure that the men and women that were in combat in the Iraq and Afghan war are taken care of.
00:20:13.120 Oh, I definitely agree.
00:20:14.520 And that's definitely – I've said it before in speeches I've given that that's a hill I'll die on is to make sure that veterans are taken care of.
00:20:23.620 Because, as we've seen, I mean, the last 600 meters is about two battles at the beginning – towards the beginning of the Iraq War, 2004.
00:20:34.640 We were in Afghanistan for 20 years.
00:20:37.640 People that have been on this show have deployed numerous times.
00:20:40.740 Tej Gill, Joe Kent, numerous deployments.
00:20:43.680 When you took over your command, your first command, I think it was down in Fort Lee.
00:20:47.520 It was before Fort Stewart.
00:20:49.000 How many non-commissioned officers did you have?
00:20:52.020 Sixteen.
00:20:52.820 Sixteen, and those non-commissioned officers on an average had how many tours in Iraq and Afghanistan?
00:20:59.100 At least four or five, and that was on the lower side.
00:21:02.520 Right.
00:21:02.860 Many of them had close to double-digit deployments.
00:21:06.800 That destroys the families, right?
00:21:08.620 I mean, the families don't take the brunt of that.
00:21:10.320 It does because you have to be a strong person to be able to have your spouse go over, deploy constantly, and especially dual military.
00:21:20.700 I had a lot when I deployed to Iraq in my unit that were dual military.
00:21:25.680 So either – if they were in the same unit, that's very hard on a family, which I had two NCOs that were in my company that were dual military.
00:21:35.740 So their kids were back home with their family members.
00:21:38.840 So it takes a toll on the family.
00:21:40.100 So they deployed the folks at the same time?
00:21:42.480 Usually they try and offset it so one deploys and then the other.
00:21:45.820 But this time they were both in the same unit.
00:21:47.700 And you guys had the specialties of the logistics.
00:21:50.300 You just needed them.
00:21:51.020 They had to do it.
00:21:51.640 Wow.
00:21:51.860 That's how short the manpower was?
00:21:53.200 It was.
00:21:53.780 Wow.
00:21:53.920 I mean, I got to my unit in February, like right after my birthday in February, and they told me, oh, you're not going to deploy.
00:22:02.660 And then in April they said there were short numbers.
00:22:04.460 And I said, I want to go because that at West Point was what we were taught.
00:22:08.720 It was a volunteer army, still is a volunteer army, but it was a time of war.
00:22:13.000 You knew that most likely when you left West Point you were going to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan.
00:22:18.760 So when I got to my unit and they were already in Iraq, you know, I felt not useless because I was doing great things back home in the rear.
00:22:28.420 However, when they said they needed people, I said, well, you can send me.
00:22:32.340 How many people in your class, how many KIAs, how many killed in actions do you have severely wounded?
00:22:38.440 I know a couple of folks in your class were severely wounded.
00:22:41.920 There are, I believe, five or six killed in action.
00:22:45.280 And then, you know, three of them were killed very shortly into their deployments.
00:22:51.580 I had a friend who played Army football who he deployed in his unit.
00:22:57.640 They were doing right seat, left seat.
00:22:59.040 So the outgoing unit was basically doing ride-alongs with the incoming unit.
00:23:04.100 And there was an IED, and he was killed by the IED.
00:23:06.920 And he was an outgoing unit?
00:23:07.980 And he was an incoming unit.
00:23:09.060 So he was in country in Afghanistan maybe two weeks, and he was killed.
00:23:13.640 I had another classmate who actually was in the, I believe it's called the Army Mentorship Program.
00:23:21.340 He did not graduate West Point.
00:23:23.720 He was kicked out a week or two before graduation because he plagiarized.
00:23:29.400 But he, on a paper.
00:23:31.840 So this is an honor code.
00:23:32.780 So it was an honor violation.
00:23:34.000 So they basically kick you out and send you to a deploying unit, and you have to serve a certain amount of time.
00:23:40.080 And you can reapply to come back to West Point, and he was in the. . .
00:23:42.900 Even with an honor violation?
00:23:44.180 Mm-hmm.
00:23:44.840 It's up to West Point if they want to re-admit you, but you can reapply.
00:23:48.680 He was in the process of reapplying and was killed on his deployment.
00:23:52.520 Wow, on the Mentorship Program.
00:23:53.980 Mm-hmm.
00:23:54.240 And you go over as an NCO?
00:23:55.800 Mm-hmm.
00:23:55.980 So he was at E4.
00:23:56.900 He was a specialist.
00:23:57.660 E4 specialist.
00:23:58.300 Mm-hmm.
00:23:58.920 What, after tonight's premiere and then after the Marine Corps, we're going to do something.
00:24:03.860 We're going to make a special effort to make sure that we can get the last 600 meters out to every person.
00:24:09.300 The reason is that when things come up in Venezuela and there's always, you know, kinetic activity.
00:24:15.040 You've got it in the Middle East. 0.77
00:24:15.960 You've got it in Ukraine.
00:24:17.540 I think it's very important for us to go back and to think about these wars.
00:24:24.100 This is, like I said, from, I guess it's the relatively early days of, in a 20-year war, the relatively early days of Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:24:34.900 I can tell you in assisting Michael Pack and putting the movie together, you're furious as you go through of the political establishment,
00:24:45.180 of just the decisions that are made and really putting men and women in harm's way.
00:24:49.260 And then just at the last second, making some decision, and you look at all this blood and treasure that you spend,
00:24:55.720 and you realize we really have to think through before we ever deploy people in harm's way.
00:24:59.720 Not that the United States is not a country that can deliver the hammer blow,
00:25:03.640 but you've got to make sure you've really thought it through of what your objectives are.
00:25:07.240 I agree with you.
00:25:07.980 And also, you have to think that people making decisions to send us into these wars,
00:25:13.700 did they have sons and daughters going over there?
00:25:15.660 No, that's a big part.
00:25:16.040 I don't think so.
00:25:16.620 They didn't serve.
00:25:17.980 They didn't have sons and daughters.
00:25:19.260 It didn't affect them.
00:25:21.300 And the fact that especially the men in this movie, that was back in 2004.
00:25:27.680 Think about the PTSD that they have, the things that they saw compared to when I deployed
00:25:32.600 or around the time I deployed.
00:25:36.740 Don't get me wrong.
00:25:38.120 People I deployed with, numerous people in the later years, have PTSD.
00:25:43.960 However, the things that they saw and the fact that we as a country aren't treating our veterans the way they should be treated or the mental health care that they need.
00:25:55.980 So, I mean, that's a hill that I will die on because we see veterans turning to drugs and alcohol and other avenues of approach to cope with the PTSD from things that they've seen over there.
00:26:07.900 And then we're like, oh, okay, we're not going to help them.
00:26:12.880 And we're not accounting for the correct number of veterans' suicides.
00:26:18.240 You know, the slogan that the military likes to put out or the VA likes to put out is 22 a day.
00:26:23.380 It's not 22 a day.
00:26:24.520 It's closer to 44 a day.
00:26:26.180 We've seen studies.
00:26:28.320 How do you get that number?
00:26:29.660 There have been studies.
00:26:30.660 That's a high number.
00:26:31.380 There have been studies that have come out from other organizations besides the military.
00:26:36.920 And the VA is not accounting for anything other than suicides by weapons.
00:26:43.040 So you're not accounting for overdoses or drownings or hangings.
00:26:48.380 A lot of, they're trying to say, oh, that's not a suicide.
00:26:53.240 But it is.
00:26:53.880 Yeah, I don't know about that.
00:26:54.520 If you're resorting to drugs to take care of PTSD or to cope.
00:26:58.700 Where do people get you?
00:27:00.460 I mean, I actually have you say a few words.
00:27:01.760 I'm pretty good, Mal.
00:27:03.420 Where do people get you?
00:27:05.060 What are your coordinates?
00:27:05.560 You can find me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon and also on Instagram at RealMaureenBannon.
00:27:13.280 I'm still a little shadow banned on Twitter, so you'll have to go searching for my stuff.
00:27:18.400 Your name's Bannon.
00:27:18.740 You're going to be shadow banned.
00:27:19.740 It says Bannon and Steve Bannon's daughter in my bio, so I'm pretty sure.
00:27:24.280 It's not shadow banned.
00:27:25.440 We don't want to hear from you.
00:27:27.560 You sure did Grace come with you?
00:27:28.860 I said Moe pops in.
00:27:30.020 Moe pops in. 0.81
00:27:30.880 Is Grace back for the Halloween party over at the White House?
00:27:34.920 Oh, yeah.
00:27:35.180 She's going trick-or-treating at the White House.
00:27:37.620 I have the premiere.
00:27:38.580 She's got trick-or-treating.
00:27:39.780 Got it.
00:27:40.580 We'll see you over there.
00:27:42.380 Moe Bannon, thank you so much, honey, for coming through.
00:27:44.600 Birch Gold.
00:27:45.560 Philip Patrick is going to join us.

00:29:06.700 Okay, the White House, it's done up for Halloween.
00:29:09.160 We had actually some amazing music from the, I guess, the orchestra there.
00:29:13.120 Maybe not so much now.
00:29:14.820 A little atonal.
00:29:15.860 Anyway, let's get in, Philip Patrick.
00:29:17.160 As soon as some activity.
00:29:19.700 This is trick-or-treat at the White House.
00:29:21.440 As soon as some activity.
00:29:22.380 What I love about this, President Trump was under orders from the real boss, the first lady.
00:29:26.860 Hey, you know, this thing was she. 0.75
00:29:28.520 I hope you figure it out.
00:29:30.460 Cut the deal.
00:29:31.140 Let's get on the plane.
00:29:32.100 Get on Air Force One.
00:29:33.040 Let's get back to the White House.
00:29:34.820 Because we have the kids over for trick-or-treat.
00:29:36.640 I think it's fantastic.
00:29:38.360 Like I said, I don't think.
00:29:39.460 Well, let me bring in Philip Patrick.
00:29:40.920 Philip, there's been turmoil, particularly in the gold and precious metals market.
00:29:45.320 But I've got to ask you, do you fully understand the actual deal?
00:29:50.060 Because I think, and the mainstream media is like focused on soybeans, which is very important.
00:29:54.400 You've got to take care of the farmers, and there's other aspects to it.
00:29:57.720 As you know, we're high-tariff guys, so there are some cuts in the tariffs.
00:30:01.120 But the rare earths being extended for a year, that we continue to get our rare earths if they live up to it.
00:30:08.840 The chips, where he said no Blackwells and no advanced chips like that,
00:30:13.440 although he'll allow NVIDIA to get in discussions with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:30:17.200 And there's no discussion on Taiwan.
00:30:18.820 To me, if you get that alone, you shut down chips, those are massive wins.
00:30:24.840 I don't know why the mainstream media has not given President Trump more props on this, sir.
00:30:30.580 Yeah, I agree.
00:30:32.200 It's a huge win, particularly the rare earth or the delay of the rare earth export restrictions.
00:30:38.240 That's massive.
00:30:39.300 Those minerals are the lifeblood of our defense and tech manufacturing.
00:30:43.400 So it was certainly a win for the Trump administration.
00:30:45.960 I would say this isn't sort of the grand bargain that everyone's been waiting for.
00:30:51.640 I think this is more of a ceasefire, while essentially two economic heavyweights who can't afford to keep punching sort of sit it out.
00:31:00.660 Both economies are stretched at the moment.
00:31:02.520 China, obviously, from a historic real estate crash, we've got a $38 trillion debt load.
00:31:08.580 We've got Fed already cutting rates to keep Washington solvent.
00:31:12.480 So I think from Trump's point of view, this was tactical.
00:31:15.200 He's not giving up leverage.
00:31:17.000 He's buying time, time to rebuild industrial base, to secure critical mineral supply chains and to protect American farmers who essentially been the foot soldiers of this trade war.
00:31:27.740 So I think the idea is to stabilize now and reform later, which, quite frankly, is a smart move, because the alternative, a full decoupling, would just torch economies on both sides of the Pacific.
00:31:40.300 We're just not ready for that yet.
00:31:42.240 I think it's going to take five to 10 years to onshore rare earth mining and refining.
00:31:47.760 And in the meantime, China will have leverage that they could choose to weaponize at any point.
00:31:52.860 So I think coming up to a deal, rare earth was a big win.
00:31:56.740 Kicking the can further down the road buys us time to reduce their leverage.
00:32:01.120 So I think it was absolutely a win.
00:32:03.240 And the markets responded accordingly.
00:32:08.140 Talk to me about that, particularly the gold market.
00:32:10.380 We've had gold bouncing from, what, almost $4,500 to now $3,900.
00:32:15.640 But the purchasing of the central banks rate continues on.
00:32:21.420 How is the gold market, it's still an alternative asset class, right, that's now getting much more reception at central banks and at money center banks, and it's still a hedge.
00:32:32.860 So put me through, give me the perspective, give the audience the perspective of the gold market.
00:32:37.420 How does the gold market look at the geopolitical and financial risk of the two world superpowers, kind of, as you said, two boxers are taking a timeout?
00:32:48.680 How do they view it?
00:32:50.900 Look, the gold markets are on fire, right?
00:32:54.160 We've seen, look, at the high point, we're up 55% for the year.
00:32:57.760 We had a pullback.
00:32:59.080 We're now up 45% for the year.
00:33:01.680 So I want to quell panic out there.
00:33:04.760 Nothing goes up in a straight line.
00:33:06.720 You always have profit-taking.
00:33:08.640 You have markets responding positively and negatively, which is going to change the day-to-day.
00:33:13.620 But like you said, look at the structural moves.
00:33:17.600 Central bank gold buying is not letting up.
00:33:19.840 The velocity is increasing.
00:33:21.860 They set another record for the third quarter of this year.
00:33:25.360 So, you know, first three quarters have been the biggest three quarters of a year for central bank gold buying ever in history.
00:33:32.700 Look at investment banks rapidly raising their predictions.
00:33:36.300 So nothing has changed.
00:33:38.660 Structurally, we are seeing a shift away from dollars towards gold.
00:33:42.820 That is continuing.
00:33:44.600 Like I said, nothing goes up in a straight line, not even gold.
00:33:48.380 But I would tell people not to be concerned, right?
00:33:51.880 Look at central banks upping predictions almost on a daily basis as prices go up.
00:33:58.080 People have to remember, yes, gold's high.
00:34:02.020 Everything's high, right?
00:34:03.600 Look at Besant's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, what was it, two months ago, talking about how the Fed had created bubbles.
00:34:10.320 Markets are at all-time highs.
00:34:12.020 Housing at all-time highs.
00:34:13.440 Gold at all-time highs.
00:34:14.440 That's a reflection of fiscal policy.
00:34:16.940 So the ability to buy low and sell high simply doesn't exist in this climate.
00:34:22.760 The question then becomes, what's more conducive for a climate in front of us?
00:34:26.960 And, you know, we have a dollar falling in value.
00:34:30.000 We have inflation that's persistent.
00:34:31.680 We have potential recession on the horizon.
00:34:34.460 This is the perfect storm for gold.
00:34:36.560 Factor in what I see as structural changes happening with reserve currency, I think we'll see higher gold prices moving forward.
00:34:44.540 And as I said, I think the previous time I was on, I don't think what we're seeing is a rally in gold.
00:34:50.520 This is a structural change.
00:34:52.500 I think the problem is gold's been undervalued for so long.
00:34:56.800 Currency overvalued.
00:34:58.440 We're now seeing a shift back.
00:35:00.120 So I would say to people, don't expect something's just going to keep going up and up and up.
00:35:05.040 We're always going to see those corrections down.
00:35:07.600 But it bounces back pretty quickly.
00:35:09.880 Gold's over $4,000 again and moving.
00:35:13.880 I want to talk about particularly AI when you've got the situation with Jensen and Wong.
00:35:20.220 It's, you know, Summerfore had this great headline.
00:35:23.480 The company broke $5 trillion yesterday in market cap.
00:35:27.240 And they kind of call him the $5 trillion man.
00:35:29.240 Man, you remember, it's not all that long ago that Apple broke the $1 trillion barrier.
00:35:35.040 And people thought that that was like the earth was going to turn the other way, right?
00:35:39.540 Start spinning the other way.
00:35:41.720 You've had this at least beginning of some sort of interim deal on advanced chips.
00:35:48.200 President Trump said, hey, NVIDIA can engage directly with the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, but there's going to be restrictions, particularly to Blackwell's and some of the other advanced chips that they can sell.
00:36:03.640 That's kind of off the table.
00:36:04.680 No discussion at all, supposedly, on Taiwan.
00:36:06.900 People are arguing that they fear that even with all the layoffs that are coming in the AI apocalypse, when you look at the companies themselves, if they mention anything on AI, they get like a supercharged valuation.
00:36:20.860 Folks are talking about this AI bubble.
00:36:22.840 Concomitantly, you've got, I think, the greatest liquidity Wall Street's ever had.
00:36:30.140 I mean, there's just pools of capital out there looking for places to go.
00:36:34.540 How do you balance that in looking at the gold market, the potential AI bubble, coupled with this mass liquidity that Wall Street seems to have right now?
00:36:44.040 Listen, it certainly feels like late stage bubble territory.
00:36:49.080 This feels like very similar to the late 90s and the dot-com bubble to follow.
00:36:53.920 And just broadly speaking, it's starting to not make sense.
00:36:59.260 Look at the S&P itself, right?
00:37:00.800 I was looking at inflation-adjusted price-to-earning ratios today.
00:37:04.380 They were above 41.
00:37:06.280 For some context, historical average is 17.
00:37:08.920 The only times in history Shiller P.E. went above 27 was 1929, year 2000, 2008, and today.
00:37:18.580 So, like I said, there are bubbles all over the place.
00:37:21.900 I think you mentioned to me a few weeks ago there are more private equity firms than the McDonald's branches in the United States today.
00:37:29.460 How insane is that?
00:37:31.000 So, like I said, I think we've been building bubbles, honestly, since the turn of the century through policy.
00:37:39.080 I think the Fed's ability to keep those bubbles going is running out.
00:37:42.540 And ultimately, we know what happens.
00:37:44.920 Things pop.
00:37:45.780 And when Trump came in, they were talking about a soft landing, other people saying a hard landing.
00:37:51.320 The reality is a landing is a landing.
00:37:53.140 It's not making sense anymore.
00:37:54.780 And we need to bring things down to reality.
00:37:56.880 And I think globally there is recognition of that.
00:38:00.560 And I think gold is going to pick up a lot of that safe haven demand.
00:38:05.240 Walk me through that before I let you go.
00:38:08.360 I want to just show them the analytics.
00:38:10.300 The price-earnings ratio adjusted right now is 41 times.
00:38:15.060 That's after tax.
00:38:15.900 I mean, that's an insane.
00:38:17.620 And historically, it's 17 times.
00:38:19.360 That's an insane valuation.
00:38:20.420 But give me the examples of the other three inflection points and what the P.E. ratio was.
00:38:29.200 Yeah.
00:38:29.780 So, this is Schiller P.E., Robert Schiller, Nobel Prize-winning economist.
00:38:34.520 So, three times in history, it's gone above 27.
00:38:37.620 It was 30.
00:38:38.880 We had the Great Depression.
00:38:40.760 44 at the dot-com bubble in the year 2000.
00:38:44.760 27 in 08.
00:38:46.580 And today, over 41.
00:38:47.920 You could look back at all of recorded history and say, we've never seen this multiple without a significant drop to follow.
00:38:57.240 And so, with this liquidity, at the same time you get this liquidity, I mean, what are the major houses saying right now?
00:39:04.120 I realize that this is the perfect time that gold could be a hedge for your portfolio or for your other financial assets.
00:39:10.420 But with this liquidity, does it just keep building?
00:39:13.740 Because the AI hype machine continues on.
00:39:17.840 I can tell people right now, you can see where it's being used immediately.
00:39:21.540 And that is not for productivity.
00:39:23.000 It's for efficiency.
00:39:24.200 They're going in and they're getting rid of the homo sapiens, right?
00:39:27.860 You saw this target the other day with 1,000 jobs.
00:39:31.960 And they try to hide it by saying, oh, we're just having better data analytics coupled with our technology.
00:39:37.060 They mean artificial intelligence.
00:39:38.500 Is the liquidity, you think, going to continue to prop this up, this excess liquidity on Wall Street?
00:39:44.960 Listen, I think it'll keep the bubble going for a while.
00:39:48.260 But there is a realization, I think, broadly, that this thing is unsustainable.
00:39:52.960 And as soon as people start to realize that and move en masse, it'll start to come down fairly quickly.
00:39:59.980 So, yeah, I think it's got legs.
00:40:01.740 Listen, this thing should have come down a long time ago, right?
00:40:05.480 Based on fundamentals, we should have seen recession a long time ago.
00:40:09.020 And we've kept this thing going over and over and over again.
00:40:12.360 Can we keep it running?
00:40:13.740 Yes.
00:40:14.380 For how much longer before people realize this is a Ponzi scheme and get out?
00:40:18.760 That's what I don't know.
00:40:20.300 It's impossible to predict for me.
00:40:23.620 Real quickly, how do people get to you?
00:40:25.620 We've got to be in a minute or so.
00:40:26.580 How do they get to you and look to your guidance of how to get involved in physical gold?
00:40:32.780 Yes, it's very simple.
00:40:34.660 To me, they can get me a getter.
00:40:36.180 Unfortunately, I don't have the badge of honor of being shadow banned by Twitter.
00:40:40.960 So by choice, I'm on getter.
00:40:43.100 It's at Philip Patrick on getter.
00:40:46.080 At Philip Patrick on getter.
00:40:47.900 And then, of course, they can get all the information from Birch to going to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:40:55.900 Again, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:40:58.840 Or text Bannon to 989898.
00:41:01.540 Philip, the feedback we get from the Warren Posse is extraordinary.
00:41:06.660 You've done such a great job of guiding people through there.
00:41:09.460 I understand that people, first off, the fear of missing out.
00:41:13.180 And the second, hey, has this thing peaked?
00:41:15.300 I know it's on a lot of people's minds.
00:41:16.620 And that's why I appreciate you coming on and making yourself available.
00:41:20.120 A lot of people want to figure out how to hedge financial risk.
00:41:24.220 I keep telling folks, don't worry about the price.
00:41:26.800 Think about the process, the pattern recognition that goes in.
00:41:29.640 What's the process that drives the value of gold?
00:41:32.760 When you start to understand that, I think your life will change.
00:41:35.940 Philip Patrick, thank you so much.
00:41:37.160 Thank this team over at Birch Gold.
00:41:38.480 Appreciate you.
00:41:39.920 Thank you, Steve.
00:41:43.040 There's going to be a lot more turbulence.
00:41:44.680 We keep saying it's not about when the Third World War comes.
00:41:50.680 What President Trump is trying to do is to bring peace predicated upon prosperity.
00:41:57.880 Now, his number one priority is the United States of America and folks in the United States of America.
00:42:02.960 That's why our movement is not America first.
00:42:05.400 It's American citizens first. 0.99
00:42:08.560 And President Trump's got to juggle a lot.
00:42:09.880 In the bloodlines of Ukraine, you've got a massive war.
00:42:14.680 You've got in the Middle East, right?
00:42:17.300 They're trying to reorganize what's happening in Israel right now.
00:42:20.600 And then, you know, most importantly, with the Chinese Communist Party, Captain Fennell tells us, keep the main thing, the main thing.
00:42:27.720 And that's what we're trying to do here.
00:42:29.060 President Trump's trying to negotiate where he can, trying to show force where he can.
00:42:33.960 I love that.
00:42:34.660 Is that some, is that some, we're going to go, we're going to blow a break or just go to a break?
00:42:38.800 I love this.
00:42:39.860 Very, very fancy here on a Thursday afternoon.
00:42:42.420 Short break.
00:42:43.720 We're going to be back.
00:42:44.460 The White House has got the, it's trick or treat at the White House.

00:44:38.180 And a bunch of trick-or-treaters.
00:44:39.900 We're going to follow this.
00:44:41.760 Let's keep the music up.
00:44:43.040 I've got to hear the music.
00:44:45.180 President Trump's got a...
00:44:46.300 President Trump has a trick-or-treat...
00:44:49.380 Oh, the folks are coming by and getting cable.
00:44:51.160 Isn't this great?
00:44:51.820 We're going to follow this, folks.
00:44:53.060 Just watch it.
00:44:53.680 Great track right now.
00:45:12.320 Southpawne.
00:45:14.280 Amazing.
00:45:15.220 See, I think President Trump, this is the...
00:45:27.080 This is...
00:45:27.480 He's got his iPad.
00:45:28.620 This is his...
00:45:29.320 This is his disco collection, isn't it?
00:45:33.680 I'm not getting a reaction from my production.
00:45:36.040 We don't.
00:45:38.780 Of everything he's got to do, folks, I want you to look at this.
00:45:41.260 He's got the ball cap on.
00:45:43.060 Milani, the first lady, they're handing out... 0.97
00:45:45.300 These are...
00:45:45.800 Look at the kids coming up there and doing this.
00:45:48.300 Tell their grandchildren.
00:45:49.420 I was at the White House.
00:45:51.240 He just got off, I don't know, an 18-hour flight.
00:45:54.500 He was negotiating with the toughest hombre in the world.
00:45:58.160 He gets after being...
00:45:59.540 He gets on the flight, comes back.
00:46:01.400 Now he's there for the people.
00:46:03.540 This is what I voted for.
00:46:07.980 The guy never stops.
00:46:11.200 You're not going to agree with everything he does.
00:46:13.540 There's a lot of stuff that we say, hey, you know, what's going on here?
00:46:17.020 But man, you've never had a president like this, ever.
00:46:22.000 I mean, who's got the energy to do this?
00:46:25.700 And look how gracious he and the first lady.
00:46:27.580 Just amazing.
00:46:29.340 Incredible.
00:46:30.460 And it's such a memory for these kids.
00:46:32.300 That's the important thing.
00:46:33.200 This, the Christmas and the White House over for Christmas.
00:46:37.900 And then, of course, over Easter, the Easter egg.
00:46:44.120 And President Trump gets a kick at it.
00:46:45.740 You can see it right there.
00:46:46.740 This is what he loves.
00:46:51.840 What a beautiful shot.
00:46:53.160 I want to thank Real American boys.
00:46:54.180 Is that a White House treat?
00:46:55.180 Or is that a shot?
00:46:55.880 Guys, fantastic shot.
00:46:57.360 There's an angle shot.
00:46:59.200 Amazing.
00:47:02.300 All the kids in their costumes.
00:47:03.620 Incredible.
00:47:04.260 Okay.
00:47:04.540 We're going to have this.
00:47:05.940 You're going to watch this.
00:47:07.600 I'm going to bring in Mike Lindell.
00:47:10.720 We're talking about scary things.
00:47:12.220 Let's get Mike.
00:47:12.940 Just kidding.
00:47:14.620 Okay.
00:47:15.400 Let's go ahead and bring Mike Lindell in.
00:47:17.460 And we're going to keep that.
00:47:18.840 We're going to come back to it before we go.
00:47:20.000 By the way, it's 6 o'clock while Israel slept.
00:47:25.400 Yaakov Katz is going to join me.
00:47:28.040 This book, whether you're pro-Israel, evangelical, or you're in the Tucker Carlson camp, or anywhere in between, buy this book.
00:47:39.340 I think it gives you the strategic situation of Israel, what's going on, but it goes through minute by minute of what happened.
00:47:48.900 And this, I think, is the reliance on technology, too much of a reliance on technology.
00:47:54.940 People that think they've got stuff organized and they don't.
00:47:57.760 And this should be a warning to the United States about us, reliance on technology, et cetera.
00:48:02.020 In fact, the movie, The Last 600 Meters Tonight, started out Michael Pack was going to make a movie about high tech in modern warfare.
00:48:09.540 And he ended up making a film that's marine rifle platoons going door-to-door neighborhood-to-neighborhood in places like Najaf in Fallujah.
00:48:17.960 So while Israel slept for an entire hour, I'm going to be with Katz, the author, to go through it.
00:48:23.500 Mike Lindell, Arctic Frost, man, when I read those documents, they were coming after you, brother.
00:48:28.960 Alex Jones and I, I think, were the only two journalists, the only two guys in media.
00:48:31.780 I wouldn't call myself a journalist.
00:48:34.180 But, brother, they came after you to take you down and burn you to the ground, sir.
00:48:40.400 From every angle.
00:48:41.640 And I believe we were the first, Steve.
00:48:43.760 We've already tracked ours.
00:48:45.120 We've been working on this all week, I have, with lawyers and investigators and stuff.
00:48:49.680 And they went after MyPillow as early as early 2022.
00:48:55.360 You guys, they went after my vendors.
00:48:58.040 They went after my banks.
00:48:59.660 We got debanked at three different banks.
00:49:01.920 They went to them.
00:49:03.240 They went after, obviously, they took my cell phone in September of 21.
00:49:06.860 They went after everything to do with MyPillow.
00:49:13.480 And not just that.
00:49:14.420 They also reached out to phone companies, Verizon.
00:49:17.640 They shut MyPillow's text marketing.
00:49:20.660 We weren't able to text market whatever they did.
00:49:23.480 Dirty deal they did with Verizon.
00:49:25.580 Steve, this goes so deep.
00:49:27.120 It's like, you know, all because why?
00:49:29.620 Because MyPillow's, my employee-owned company, their CEO is out there going,
00:49:33.340 hey, we got problems with our elections.
00:49:35.860 You know what?
00:49:36.700 The 2020 election, we need to look into it.
00:49:39.420 We need to look into the election platforms.
00:49:42.920 Somebody look at this.
00:49:44.280 By the way, everybody, remember, I've been fighting against these government private contractors,
00:49:49.300 i.e. voting machines, for four and a half years now.
00:49:52.460 So isn't this funny?
00:49:53.800 You have the FBI, the IRS, and the DOJ come after me, MyPillow,
00:49:58.360 and then because I'm talking about under my freedom of speech,
00:50:02.340 they talk about government private contractors.
00:50:04.960 Steve, it's been absolutely disgusting.
00:50:08.600 So tell me, what are you going to do?
00:50:11.560 And then I want to pivot to how we're going to pay for this.
00:50:14.260 Are you going to pay for this due profits in the company?
00:50:16.840 And that's where we're going to sell more towels, sheets, and pillows.
00:50:20.520 First of all, what action are you going to take?
00:50:23.600 What we're looking in right now is what is the process if you go after this?
00:50:28.280 This was in my own government, the FBI.
00:50:30.640 They were blatant.
00:50:31.640 The IRS, FBI, and the DOJ are the three biggest enemies that came after me with full guns at all sides.
00:50:38.420 And then you couple that with just this week, Smartmatic,
00:50:43.240 a judge in Minnesota finds MyPillow and myself guilty of defaming a corrupt criminal company
00:50:50.240 because it's out in the news right now last week.
00:50:52.960 You can't—obviously, Steve, our First Amendment right of free speech is at—
00:50:58.740 this is—everything that happened to MyPillow should never happen again in history.
00:51:04.200 We're not going to take it lying down.
00:51:05.940 I am going after whatever avenue I can take.
00:51:09.480 I don't know if you can go after the government.
00:51:11.400 The president did the other night.
00:51:12.940 He said, hey, it's like suing myself.
00:51:14.980 It's a great lawsuit.
00:51:16.720 And so we're going to be making a lot of moves here in the next three, four days.
00:51:21.140 Right now, we're just gathering everything damage it did to MyPillow.
00:51:25.320 The damage it did to MyPillow alone is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, everybody.
00:51:29.820 This doesn't count the stuff that they did with the machine companies and the cancellations.
00:51:35.060 And so you guys have made it possible.
00:51:37.040 You guys, please help us out.
00:51:38.920 It's the last day for the Made in USA sale.

00:52:14.760 Steve Bannon here.
00:52:15.880 War room listeners know Jim Rickards.
00:52:17.580 I love this guy.
00:52:19.000 He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:52:26.160 Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:52:36.040 Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:52:43.100 His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
