Bannon's War Room - Episode 5083： Trump Live From Davos

00:00:00.000 April, how do you see the U.S.-China relationship moving forward? Are you able to combine

00:00:07.180 this tough competition with also collaboration? So I've always had a very good relationship with

00:00:14.280 President Xi and with President Putin. Talk about, you know, the larger powers. But I've

00:00:20.040 always had a very good relationship with President Xi of China. He's an incredible man. What he's

00:00:26.840 done is amazing. He's highly respected by everybody. And I do now. I mean, now I have

00:00:32.680 good. It was very severely interrupted by COVID. I used to call it the China virus. But he

00:00:38.240 said, do you think you could use a different name? And I decided to do that. Because why

00:00:45.940 should we have a problem over that? But I would do that. And they were a true diplomat. I became a

00:00:52.700 diplomat for the first time. Well, you know who taught me that? Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio. He said,

00:00:57.960 let me teach you about diplomacy. Hey, any guy that gets approved by 100% of the votes,

00:01:04.100 think of it. He got liberal Democrats and radical right Republicans to approve him. He's the only one.

00:01:10.980 The next one was like lost 45 votes, right? But he got all 100 votes voting for him. And at first,

00:01:19.060 I wasn't happy about it. I said, wait a minute, I don't like that. And now it turns out that the

00:01:23.940 Democrats probably wish they didn't do that. And Marco has been fantastic. Marco, stand up,

00:01:29.360 please. You have done a great job as secretary of state. He's going to go down as the best secretary

00:01:34.440 of state. And Scott, and we have Susie, who's the first female chief of staff, and she's the best

00:01:42.280 chief of staff too. And I see Howard Lutnick, who I know spoke. And Howard's fantastic. Some of the

00:01:50.120 deals we're doing are great. And I want to pay particular attention because we have Chris. And

00:01:57.000 Chris, you got up and spoke, I think. He's the number one oil man in the world because I was going

00:02:02.660 to put Doug Burgum, who's fantastic. I don't know if Doug's here. Is Doug here? Doug Burgum is

00:02:08.060 fantastic. He said, sir, there's one man better than me. And he introduced me to Chris. And he

00:02:14.200 turns out to be. So we're drilling more oil and gas now than we ever have by almost double. Is that

00:02:20.040 right, Chris? And on top of it, we got a lot coming out of Venezuela. So anyway, so we're doing,

00:02:26.720 we're doing great. The country is just doing great. We have great people. Thank you. And I see other

00:02:30.340 people. We have Steve Whitcuff. We have Jared. I got so many people. I'm in trouble because when I go

00:02:35.380 back, they're going to be people with long faces. Sir, you didn't introduce me. I got so many people.

00:02:41.360 And we have a lot of the greatest people anywhere in the world. I know them all. So I won't,

00:02:46.780 I won't continue because we'd be here all day. Thank you, Mr. President. We also know that you're

00:02:53.080 a dealmaker and then maybe coming back to Greenland and Ukraine. What kind of deal in the end you see

00:03:04.440 between the U.S. and Denmark? Because, you know, I guess you see it now as a negotiation going on or?

00:03:13.720 Well, it's costing Denmark hundreds of millions a year to run it. And Denmark's a small country and

00:03:18.940 wonderful people. But, you know, it's very expensive. It's a very big piece of ice. And

00:03:26.900 it's very important. I mean, I don't want to repeat the speech, but it's very important that we

00:03:33.680 use that for national and international security. That can create a power that will make it impossible

00:03:42.880 for the bad guys to do anything against the perceived good ones. And it's a great block for

00:03:49.840 Europe. Just like, you know, Denmark was supposed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. They didn't

00:03:53.920 spend the money. They didn't spend anything, almost. And we'll see what happens. I just say this.

00:04:00.440 NATO has treated the United States of America very unfairly. We never asked for anything. We never got

00:04:05.940 anything. We actually took care of the needs of NATO for years and years, which I felt was always

00:04:10.920 unfair. So I got NATO to pay because they're rich countries. But I think it's time that NATO step up.

00:04:17.380 We're helping them with Ukraine. Without us, I think Putin would have gone all the way. I think we

00:04:22.600 have it. I think Putin, I think that could have been a World War Three, if you want to know the truth.

00:04:26.940 If if Kamala was elected or Joe, any one of those, you know, those thinkers, I think you could have

00:04:33.380 ended up in World War Three. And I will say Steve Whitcoff has been dealing incredibly with. But we're not

00:04:40.740 going to have World War Three. We want to get it stopped. We're not going to have World War Three.

00:04:44.360 I think if I wasn't elected, I think that could have evolved into World War Three. It was a very,

00:04:49.580 very bad situation. And it still is. But it's not that kind of bad. It's bad because so many young

00:04:55.240 people are being killed. How close do you think there is on an agreement on Ukraine? I had the pleasure

00:05:02.180 of speaking with Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner yesterday. I know they're working hard on it. I

00:05:07.260 know that are also traveling now. Do you do you see this very close or still? Well, I hate to say

00:05:13.940 it. I thought that was going to be so I settled eight wars plus. And I thought that was going to

00:05:19.180 be one of my easier ones. Not the easiest. Some I settled in a matter of hours because I'm good at

00:05:24.220 that stuff. You know, the United Nations should be doing this. I shouldn't be doing it. But it doesn't

00:05:29.260 matter. It's got to get done saving a lot of lives. We're saving millions of lives. With Ukraine,

00:05:34.560 Russia, there's tremendous hatred between President Zelensky and President Putin. That's

00:05:41.260 not good. That's not good for settlements. We know from dealing. There's abnormal hatred.

00:05:47.580 With that being said, I think Russia wants to make a deal. I think Ukraine wants to make a deal.

00:05:53.040 And we're going to try getting a deal done. We're getting, I think, Steve, I think I can say that

00:05:57.940 we're reasonably close. What happens is oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia. Russia's set and

00:06:03.980 President Zelensky will not do it. You saw that when he was in the Oval Office. I was not happy.

00:06:09.480 And then we'll have President Zelensky wants to make a deal. And Putin doesn't want to make the deal.

00:06:14.760 It's a very difficult balance. And it's big time. And it's just, it's, it is, you know, to use a word,

00:06:23.960 it's a bloodbath. It's horrible what's happening. It's a drone war. The drones are killing, you know,

00:06:30.040 thousands of people a week, thousands. We have to get it stopped. So I believe they're at a point

00:06:35.480 now, I'm going to meet with President Zelensky later today. I believe they're at a point now where

00:06:41.080 they can come together and get a deal done. And if they don't, they're stupid. That goes for both of

00:06:49.080 them. And I know they're not stupid. But if they don't get this done, they are stupid. So I don't

00:06:57.020 want to insult anyone, but you got to get this deal done. Too many people are dying. It's not worth it.

00:07:02.860 President Sisi is sitting on the first row here. He spoke earlier today and also complimented you

00:07:09.440 on the Gaza deal. I think there will be a signing tomorrow. Of course, there are different views

00:07:14.940 on this. But how important do you think this signing is on the Board of Peace? And do you think

00:07:22.320 this is going to sustain? Do you think we now will see Gaza reconstructed and billions of U.S. dollars

00:07:30.700 invested? I do. I mean, I think we have peace in the Middle East. There are some little situations

00:07:37.340 like Hamas. And Hamas has agreed to give up their weapons. Now, you know, they were born with a weapon

00:07:42.980 in their hand. So it's not easy to do. When they were born, they were born with a rifle in their hand.

00:07:47.580 It's not an easy thing for them. But that's what they agreed to. They've got to do it.

00:07:52.080 And we're going to know, Jared, over the next two or three days, certainly over the next three weeks,

00:07:57.760 whether or not they're going to do it. If they don't do it, they're going to have to be blown away

00:08:00.940 very quickly. They'll be blown away. You know, we have 59 countries that are part of that whole

00:08:06.300 peace deal. And some of those countries aren't even in. They're near the Middle East, but they're not in the

00:08:11.680 Middle East traditionally. And they want to come in and take out Hamas. They want to come in. They

00:08:17.020 want to do whatever they can. There's a problem with Hezbollah in Lebanon. And we'll see what

00:08:22.900 happens there. But that's a problem. But there are these little flames. But there's peace in the

00:08:27.100 Middle East. Now, had we not gone in and knocked out with those big, beautiful, we just ordered 25 brand

00:08:32.400 new ones, the latest and the greatest, the B-2 bomber. Think of them. They went in there at two o'clock in the

00:08:38.540 morning with no moon, no light, no nothing. And every single one of those massive bombs hit its

00:08:44.880 target, 100,000-pound bombs hit its target, every one of them. And then on top of it, from a submarine

00:08:50.620 300 miles away, we hit the sights with tomahawks, which is an unbelievable weapon. So, you know,

00:08:57.880 we did our job. If we didn't do that, you would have never had peace in the Middle East. And the

00:09:02.140 countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar could never have, and others could never have

00:09:08.980 signed anything because you would have had this dark cloud. And the dark cloud was Iran with

00:09:12.760 nuclear. Iran would, if we didn't take them out, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two

00:09:17.680 months. They were very close to having the nuclear weapon. And we hit them hard. And it was a total

00:09:22.860 obliteration. They may try again, but they're going to have to try from a different area because

00:09:28.640 that area was obliterated. Incredible thing we did. And because we did that, we were able to make

00:09:35.540 peace. If we didn't do that, I would say, Jared and Steve, if we didn't do that, there was no chance

00:09:40.560 of making peace because the countries I just named and other countries could have never signed off. They

00:09:46.500 were afraid. They were afraid. We had a bully. The bully was Iran, the bully of the Middle East.

00:09:53.620 They used to call it for years. They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not the bully of the

00:09:57.600 Middle East anymore. Mr. President, I know you even had to change plane last night. So I guess you didn't

00:10:06.960 have much sleep, but I think you're on that. But your energy is still there. I know you have several

00:10:13.500 bilateral meetings. I know you're also hosting a reception. So thank you so much for coming back

00:10:21.740 to Davos. Thank you so much. It's highly appreciated. Thank you very much. Thank you, everybody, very much.

00:10:28.780 Okay, right there. Welcome to the war room. It's Wednesday, the 21st of January. Can we get the

00:10:44.040 sound again? I want to hear the applause of President Trump leaving the stage. Let's go to

00:10:48.320 kick in the sound. Can we? Oh, Davos cut it off. They didn't want to see the thunderous applause.

00:10:55.440 It's the 21st of January. You're of our Lord, 2026. You're in the war room, President Trump.

00:11:04.120 Let me just put it in perspective. They took off last night from Andrews Air Force Base. They had

00:11:09.220 to turn around because they had a mechanical problem or electrical problem. Air Force Base had

00:11:12.800 to return around. He returned to Andrews. I think they changed planes. So they're three hours late.

00:11:24.300 By the way, we've got Jack Posobiec in the room and Brian Glenn. We're going to get to

00:11:28.120 both of those. We're live at Davos. As soon as we get those two guys up, we will. Of course,

00:11:33.580 Real America's Voice in the War is going to be in the room. So President Trump, have you ever

00:11:38.460 taken a red eye? Have you particularly ever taken an extended red eye? You know, even in

00:11:46.300 the president's got a very nice birthing quarter up towards the front of Air Force One.

00:11:54.280 But it's still, it's like you sleep in one of those first class, you sleep in one of those

00:11:59.040 first class compartments. You know, it's still a red eye and it's extended red eye. He gets

00:12:05.180 off the plane, gets on the helicopter. He's there and he only starts the speech, I think,

00:12:10.180 20 minutes late. It's supposed to be 8.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time for us here in the United

00:12:15.880 States in the Imperial Capital, early afternoon in Davos. He just, they say, oh, Trump's 78 years

00:12:25.000 old, however. He just gave, I think, an hour and 50 minute speech. And then he did 20 or 30 minutes

00:12:32.940 of Q&A with the new head of World Economic Forum. Although Larry Fink is really the head. This is

00:12:39.880 the day-to-day head. And I thought the guy asked excellent questions. Those are really, those are

00:12:45.080 not wasted time. They were not softballs. He asked good questions. And so, and President Trump says

00:12:52.080 over two hours. And now he's going to go into one bilateral, and these are heavy meetings. You know,

00:12:56.520 it's about Ukraine. It's about Gaza. It's what he's going to do on Greenland.

00:13:02.940 I've got Norm bin Laden, John Solomon. People are going to tee up as we get on. Robert Greenway

00:13:09.080 from Heritage is going to be here, too, with the disturbing, two disturbing reports today. One,

00:13:12.920 Peter Schweitzer. Peter is supposed to be with us this morning. I've moved him to tomorrow

00:13:16.800 so we can have more time with Peter in his blockbuster new book. The story that they broke

00:13:21.460 today was about the Chinese Communist Party training their pilots here, oftentimes on taxpayer money

00:13:28.240 in the United States. I know that's hard to believe. Greenway's also got a very disturbing

00:13:32.780 piece about war games that have been going on, about the reality about the American military,

00:13:37.620 particularly in the Western Pacific. We're going to get to all this. Solomon's going to join us.

00:13:41.660 He's got a blockbuster story. I think the perspective, Mark Carney's being teed up as the,

00:13:46.660 as the new head of the globalist alliance with his speech yesterday, Dr. Thayer, Captain Finnell,

00:13:54.040 Nor bin Laden. We're all going to break it down. And President Trump just came in,

00:13:57.420 and let me be polite, gave a beat down. So he called McCrone out. He called Mark Carney out to

00:14:04.920 his face. So there's two perspectives here. Let me just give you the yin and the yang or the,

00:14:11.060 or the bid and the ask. If you're a globalist, you just think that Trump flew into Davis and went full

00:14:18.300 gangster. If you're a nationalist, it's the greatest speech since Pericles at Athens. There's no,

00:14:27.640 there's no middle ground here. And now President Trump says, yes, we're going to work together,

00:14:32.060 et cetera. But he gave you a nationalist perspective of working in from a nationalist perspective of

00:14:37.560 working within a community of nations. Mark Carney has teed up essentially what they want the new

00:14:45.380 world order to be, which is around the Chinese Communist Party. I might also add that gold is

00:14:50.460 hurtling towards $5,000 an ounce and silver just backed off. It was about to breach $100 an ounce.

00:14:58.160 That would be two barrels of oil for an ounce of silver. Put that in perspective, backed off a

00:15:02.900 little bit. We're going to talk about the world capital markets, all of it. I've got Nor bin Laden.

00:15:06.720 Is Nor bin Laden with me? I want, I've got Nor bin Laden. You've been doing this for us for a long

00:15:11.240 time. He did it for a long time before that. Mark Carney yesterday, but like I said, my perspective

00:15:17.740 is if you're a globalist in the audience, you think Trump's a gangster, right? And if you're a

00:15:22.800 nationalist, you think Trump is Pericles at Athens. It's that, I mean, it was just a fabulous speech.

00:15:29.440 Your thoughts, ma'am?

00:15:30.560 Listen, regardless on which side you find yourself on, the aura is undeniable. And you had the standing

00:15:38.740 ovation as he entered the room. You had the standing ovation as he exited. So there is no one like

00:15:46.560 President Trump on the world stage. And you saw it just in his arrival in Davos, you know, with Marine

00:15:52.360 One and the red carpet and just the show of military might and of power and of position of leadership that

00:15:59.220 the United States of America has on the world stage. So it's just undeniable. They have to contend with

00:16:07.960 that simple fact. And President Trump is the leading figure of the world. He is actually showing

00:16:17.400 tremendous leadership in various different aspects for his own country, but also with regards to

00:16:24.400 matters of geopolitical issues. So the speech was very interesting. If I may, I'll just say my

00:16:33.700 favorite, my absolute favorite part to start with was the part about the windmills and how the people

00:16:38.900 who buy the windmills are just so stupid to quote him directly. That was my favorite part out of the

00:16:45.680 whole speech. But he just slammed down so many different aspects of the globalist agenda.

00:16:52.040 But let's, but hang on, hang on, let's take, let's take windmill, hang on, Nora, let's take windmills as

00:16:57.160 it was serious because he made two compelling points. He uses windmills as an example of the

00:17:04.260 intermittent energy you get from what he calls the Green New City, but from the cult of climate change,

00:17:10.040 of which the lead cultists, the broligarchs have now abandoned because it is Larry Fink,

00:17:16.900 who was the worst. Remember, this is what a hypocrite Larry Fink is. He was the absolute worst

00:17:22.460 because he ran, uh, you know, over a trillion dollars worth of, uh, worth of money market funds

00:17:28.640 and worth of stock funds where he put in ESG. He put in those requirements that you had to

00:17:34.480 basically inculcate, uh, the, uh, the green agenda into your, into your business, or they wouldn't

00:17:41.660 want to invest in the company too. If they invest in the company, they would vote against you

00:17:45.180 with their shares. So he's the biggest, he said, yes, so you can't have intermittent power. In fact,

00:17:49.920 he said, you can't have wind and solar. We need, you know, we need nuclear or we need to burn dirty

00:17:54.320 coal. You need to do whatever you do on these data centers with president Trump go into the windmills

00:17:58.300 because he said, number one, anywhere you see a lot of windmills, you don't see a vibrant

00:18:03.660 energy economy, like in Germany, other places that they're hurting. That's one. Number two,

00:18:08.400 he goes, China's making them and sell them all over the world, but you don't have massive wind farms.

00:18:13.800 I can't find massive wind farms in China. He uses these very simple things that are accessible to

00:18:20.260 the common man to explain quite complicated, quite complicated, uh, problems. And that's how he

00:18:27.060 delivers the hammer blows, ma'am. Exactly. It's the hammer blow to the green new scam,

00:18:34.040 how he refers to it in his speech. And he just, with these examples and the windmill one, as you

00:18:39.840 say, is so telling and people can really visualize and understand it. And my, I, myself, when I'm

00:18:44.880 driving around here in Europe and I see those windmills, it actually pains me so much. It does

00:18:51.000 absolutely ruin the landscape. It does absolutely kill the birds. And he was absolutely spot on when

00:18:58.100 he said that the Chinese people are probably mocking us for buying these things in the first

00:19:04.460 place when they don't even use them. So the, the, he's, he's just a master communicator and, um, he is

00:19:11.920 so naturally gifted, uh, when it comes to just his, his humor. He is a very humorous person

00:19:18.200 speaking about incredibly serious topics. And, uh, he said one very basic truth in plain English,

00:19:26.980 you know, the more windmills a country has, the more it loses. And you have all of these people

00:19:32.400 that go to Davos, you know, they, I listened to these panels and it's so much word salad. And sometimes

00:19:38.000 you, you leave those sessions and you're like, what do they actually talk about? Cause it's just so

00:19:43.260 empty, but president Trump is just straight to the point, hammering those point out for everybody to,

00:19:49.780 to understand the audience itself and us, you know, who, who, uh, are watching closely and paying

00:19:57.040 attention to what's going on, on, on the global stage. So no, many, many incredible points, obviously

00:20:03.040 the economic side, uh, of the United States, the key question, uh, Greenland, which he put out

00:20:10.740 incredibly saying, Oh, I wasn't going to say a few words on Greenland, but actually, would you like

00:20:15.740 me to say a few words on Greenland? And obviously everybody was hanging on the edge of the seat

00:20:20.400 to see what president Trump was going to say today on Greenland. And all of the points he made about

00:20:26.060 that specific question were so spot on. And he is absolutely right. You know, after world war II,

00:20:31.900 we went from Pax Britannica to Pax Americana. And I often refer to the segment, uh, he did with Sean

00:20:39.640 Hannity a few years ago, I believe in 2019, where he asked that question. He's like, how the hell did

00:20:44.820 that happen? How did the United States of America become the police men and the watch dog of the

00:20:51.820 world? And, you know, at the, at the cost of the American taxpayer and he, the United States of

00:20:58.260 America should absolutely get a return on investment in that sense. If you look at the past 70 plus years

00:21:04.000 of all the money, of all the expenditure, including to this very day, as president Trump,

00:21:09.780 rightly pointed out with the conflict, uh, happening in Eastern Europe. So it's, uh, it makes

00:21:15.660 complete sense. And, um, we will see what, what happens. I, I believe he will, he will actually

00:21:21.340 manage and succeed to take Greenland. Well, this, the, the thing that happened here, the Trump at the

00:21:27.640 rupture and Carney speech yesterday, and we'll bring you Dr. Thayer. We got a lot of folks to get to

00:21:31.780 today and, and, uh, need you to hang around in order. Cause we're going to get back into it.

00:21:36.100 You know, Pax Britannica, basically from the end of the Napoleonic war in the Congress of Vienna

00:21:41.820 in 1815. Um, also the, um, that's both Waterloo and, uh, the battle of New Orleans. They are kind

00:21:52.200 of in a strictly link because part of it was, uh, making sure the British that really ended the

00:21:57.300 revolution here told the British North America is ours. We're manifest destiny. I think it's the

00:22:03.200 only time in history. It's Wellington's best, uh, part of his army that had been fighting in Spain

00:22:08.860 forever in the peninsula. We destroyed it on the plains outside of New Orleans. General Andrew

00:22:14.600 Jackson, three, I think it's the only time in British history, three major generals killed in

00:22:18.140 combat. The same time you had Waterloo after the Congress of Vienna, you had this Pax Britannica,

00:22:23.380 uh, the Royal Navy basically kept the peace. There were, yes, there were some 1848. There were some

00:22:29.100 definitely some conflicts, but nothing bore war, all these kinds of side wars, I would say, uh, until

00:22:36.000 the guns of August in 1914. Now that led to what 30 years of conflict ended with dropping a hot one

00:22:44.540 over the empire, the empire of Japan and firebombing Tokyo and, uh, and, uh, Kyoto and other places,

00:22:51.760 uh, into oblivion along with Dresden to end the fascists and imperial, try to conquest of the

00:22:57.800 world led by the United States industrial power and 35 million Russians killed by the Wehrmacht and

00:23:04.880 another 30 million Chinese Lao-Beijing killed by, uh, the, uh, Japanese Imperial Japanese army and the

00:23:12.040 communists that Pax Americana and the new world order that came after it, the, the post-war international

00:23:18.340 rules-based order, just like they had the Congress of Vienna that had the British pound as the primary

00:23:24.300 prime reserve currency. After the war, Brenton Woods, the United Nations, IMF, NATO, CETO, all these

00:23:31.800 different either military alliances and or, uh, financial and commercial alliances, uh, lasted until

00:23:40.920 basically the late, uh, you know, Tiananmen Square in the fall of the Berlin wall, where both the

00:23:47.160 people in the Russia decided, Hey, look after the war, you basically let Joseph Stalin run the place.

00:23:52.820 Uh, that was not good with us. We hate these guys. You gave them Eastern Europe. That's still

00:23:57.500 questionable how that happened. I believe as McCarthy and others pointed out because the state

00:24:02.460 department and the Roosevelt administration was full of KGB activist agents that helped the

00:24:09.800 Alta and other places to look the other way. Also, we turned the China over to the Chinese Communist

00:24:14.280 Party who had not lifted a finger to fight the Japanese because we got sucked into that. And

00:24:19.440 there were communists all throughout the, uh, state department and the, uh, China hands. So we turned

00:24:25.260 it over basically in 1989, within six months of each other, nobody ever wants to connect us. Tiananmen

00:24:30.280 Square in June followed the Berlin wall in November. Lao Baixing and the Russian people said,

00:24:35.600 and people in Eastern Europe said, no, no, we can't do this anymore. And what did we do?

00:24:41.440 Immediately Scowcroft sent folks over, Bush sent, Bush 41 sent Scowcroft over to tell, uh,

00:24:48.240 Deng Xiaoping and this crowd, Hey, Hey, Hey, you just got to ease up. You can't be killing. You can't

00:24:51.800 be murdering 10,000 people in Tiananmen Square and through the tens of thousands through the rest of

00:24:57.260 China. That looks bad on TV. We've got to tone down and guess what? We, we will work out a business

00:25:01.860 deal. We'll get WTO. We'll do that. We'll turn you into the manufacturing base of a new global order.

00:25:08.120 This is what Bush was talking about when he used that phrase, I think at the Houston, um, when he

00:25:13.180 gave that speech in Houston. And so what you had is you had a post-war international rules-based order

00:25:19.240 is what they call it, but it was weighed against the American, uh, working class, the American middle

00:25:25.180 class. You basically paid for everything. All the trade deals were upside down. If you look at NATO,

00:25:30.500 if you look at the, uh, uh, around the Persian Gulf, uh, in the middle East, you'd go and look around

00:25:36.440 the South China sea and all the indigenous, all the, uh, you know, um, countries around that.

00:25:42.020 Uh, and then you go up to North, uh, Northwest, uh, Asia, uh, with Japan and Korea, uh, you had

00:25:49.340 commercial relationships. We're upside down on every trade deal. We are, there's capital markets where

00:25:54.660 we're funding the growth there, either through the Marshall plan or other. So there's capital markets.

00:25:59.920 There is some culture interchange, no doubt about that, but there's an American security guarantee.

00:26:04.980 The sons and daughters of the American working class and middle class are on patrol in the Hindu

00:26:10.560 Kush or they're at the, what is it? 33rd parallel at, uh, in, in Korea, or they're on a ship in the

00:26:17.000 South China sea on patrol, or they're now the 101st airborne brigade in Romania, not in Minnesota,

00:26:23.560 right? You're paying for all that. And president Trump is essentially saying, uh, and Carney said,

00:26:28.820 yesterday, we got to stop the fiction. Well, the fiction is Carney that you guys are picking up

00:26:35.060 your share and that you're an ally. You're not an ally. Just like Israel's not an ally. You guys are

00:26:39.740 not allies. You're protectorates and the American people. This is the rise of the populist nationalist

00:26:45.020 movement here. This is the basis of MAGA that guess what America comes first. American security

00:26:50.700 comes first. The, um, the economics for American citizens, American citizens come first.

00:26:55.220 And as imperfect as president Trump is, he is shattering that system in a new system is forming

00:27:03.160 here that puts American security and American citizens first. The simplest way to say this is

00:27:09.080 step one is to focus on hemispheric defense. This is the centrality of Greenland. And what president

00:27:14.540 Trump is trying to make the case is the central issue of Greenland in the Arctic being the Northern

00:27:20.240 flank of the United States. And we have to control the Greenland, Iceland, UK gap, because we don't

00:27:25.700 have confidence. You guys can do it because you don't put any money into your military. And you

00:27:29.580 particularly don't put any money into a combatant Navy that we have to do it. And yes, we're going to

00:27:35.040 have to control this space in order to do it. And there are going to be other benefits because the

00:27:39.740 bad guys we're stopping are also bad guys that would take a bite out of you. And this is what Carney and

00:27:44.620 all his, and there's, you know, playing up Carney, you know, like he's linking at Gettysburg or the

00:27:50.360 second inaugural address that he's some, you know, great thinker and great speaker. President Trump

00:27:54.980 called this brother out to his face at Davos. He had a funny story about Macron. It's the reason

00:28:00.880 Macron left. He had a funny story about Macron, about how weak and sad he is. But Carney, he looked

00:28:07.360 right at him and said, Hey, bro, we essentially defend you. And remember that before you start,

00:28:13.100 you know, before you talk smack again, remember, we have your defense and people in Canada have to

00:28:19.160 understand this. We have paid for your defense for decade after decade and a decade. And what did I

00:28:24.560 say of six or nine months ago that you, that Canada is potentially the next Ukraine, that Arctic

00:28:31.340 North, the Chinese Communist Party in Russia, the great game of the 21st century is in the Arctic.

00:28:36.480 Why do you think, why in the hell you think Trump who can think this stuff through as much as he's

00:28:41.980 doing in Latin America with the bailout of, uh, of Argentina and the, in the situation of Venezuela

00:28:47.700 and trying to control the oil from Guiana to Venezuela, to the Gulf of America, Mexico and Texas

00:28:54.440 to get you the biggest, uh, oil power in known in history by 10 X. He's spending so much time in

00:29:01.480 Greenland. He understands the strategic importance of it. President Trump, I believe is the greatest

00:29:08.460 strategic thinker, thinker and man of action we've ever had in the presidency. This is why I say

00:29:15.960 Washington, Lincoln and Trump. And you saw it today. And he called Carney out to his face,

00:29:22.440 said, bro, watch the smack talk because we are basically your protector. Short break. It's about

00:29:33.260 Davos. It's about America first. It's about American citizens. First, we are packed in every

00:29:38.340 second segment. Noor Bin Laden is going to stick with me back in a moment.

00:29:42.660 There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas,

00:30:03.840 but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every $5,000 you

00:30:11.740 purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver free.

00:30:28.380 and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from

00:30:33.800 the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens if the AI bubble burst? Diversify.

00:31:35.440 When the national conversation around abolishing the income tax system, the IRS is fighting back

00:31:40.360 and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before. They're sending out

00:31:46.220 more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more than in recent years.

00:31:52.280 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement,

00:31:58.320 even your home. If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question that the IRS will act,

00:33:24.260 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:33:29.060 Okay, Noor's going to write shotgun in Switzerland. I want to go now to Davos. Brian Glenn. Brian Glenn,

00:33:34.600 you just heard it. You've been there. First off, the guy gets off a plane that's three hours late,

00:33:38.480 so he's taking like, I don't know, a 12-hour red eye. I used to do that for a living,

00:33:42.500 and I'm telling you, it's hard enough to go to a meeting. It's impossible to go and give a two-hour

00:33:48.020 speech and then take 30 minutes of really good questions from the new head of, the functional

00:33:53.740 head of World Economic Forum. Talk to us about it. You were there. What do you got?

00:33:59.540 Yeah, I agree. Good morning, everybody. America is back, and that absolutely was the speech that I

00:34:06.120 expected from President Trump to deliver, and what I would call a very anticipated appearance

00:34:11.740 here at the World Economic Forum. Now, Steve, I'm just outside. I'll step aside so you have a better

00:34:16.380 look of one of the USA houses here in Davos. This is the main strip. This is where all the

00:34:21.920 corporate America, this is where all the governments are set up. This is where all of your interest,

00:34:26.620 840 CEOs and businesses along this stretch here. Now, the other USA house that's set up just around

00:34:36.880 this corner in the next hit, we'll walk down there and give you an idea, Steve. There is probably

00:34:40.960 hundreds of protesters outside that USA house. You've got all kinds of nations, people, flags.

00:34:48.440 Everyone's trying to represent their point of view. A lot of it has been an anti-war theme from what we

00:34:53.840 can see as we drove by, but in the next hit, Steve, I'll come from you live outside the USA house

00:34:59.120 and cover that protest for you. Well, Brian, in fact, I think a lot of MAGA, which I said,

00:35:04.840 hey, what President Trump is doing is America first, and it is inextricably linked back, because

00:35:09.700 we are part of a global economy. It's inextricably linked back here to American citizens, and you can

00:35:14.960 see that by how he's doing it. But President Trump, I don't know how they're bitching and moaning

00:35:19.100 about anti-war. I mean, I think the MAGA folks even say, hey, look, there's too much time on

00:35:23.860 Ukraine. It's too much time on Gaza. And he sits there today because, remember, and I put a post

00:35:29.820 up on Getter earlier about the no-mass deportations he talked about yesterday. President Trump has got

00:35:35.080 a big heart. They think he's a cold guy. He's the opposite of a cold guy. He's sitting there today.

00:35:39.440 He says, hey, 20,000 guys are getting killed a month, whatever it is in Ukraine. He says,

00:35:43.840 we've got to stop these wars. I don't know what the anti-war crowd wants more of Trump. He's probably

00:35:49.260 the most anti-war guy out there. The Israelis, the Greater Israel Project, wanting to take down

00:35:55.020 the Iranian regime and take it. He says, no, I'm going to do the 12-day war. I'm ending by taking

00:36:01.760 out the nuclear program. Zelensky wasn't even invited this year, I don't think. Zelensky's coming

00:36:06.660 today to meet with Trump to try to end the Ukraine war. Why are these anti-war protesters

00:36:12.260 outside USA House when Trump is the, he's the peacemaker, is he not?

00:36:18.440 Yeah, did he not rattle off eight foreign wars that he has essentially ended? And no,

00:36:24.180 you've got an excellent point there. Maybe we can talk to some of them when we get over there. But,

00:36:28.300 you know, it seems like everyone has some sort of agenda or some sort of item that they're protesting.

00:36:36.060 A lot of it has been big business. And I heard a gentleman walking by earlier, somebody's hotel

00:36:40.940 rooms up and down the street that rent for thousands a night. I'm talking about $10,000

00:36:46.300 for just a few nights. If it wasn't for Davos, these rooms only go for about $100. So if

00:36:51.340 they want to protest any of the corruption in the world, let's protest the way this country,

00:36:55.860 or this city right here has whored out corporate America. It has been nothing but greed. We have

00:37:01.120 840 CEOs here, and you've got 76 heads of state here. That is a merging of capitalism.

00:37:10.160 Don't pick on little Davos. They're trying to get her from all the swells throughout the world,

00:37:14.700 all the global stuff. Brian, what's your social media? Some people are going to follow you. Go

00:37:18.880 down there and get in the middle of the protests and ask them. I said, hey, what more do you want

00:37:22.280 Trump to do about ending wars? He's more anti-war than you are. What's your social media?

00:37:28.080 That's exactly what I'm going to ask these people. At BrianGlennTV on Twitter and Instagram

00:37:33.260 and Facebook. At Brian on True Social. By the way, the Ukraine house is just right behind us. And I

00:37:40.760 think I had to kind of quietly walk by that house for obvious reasons. But maybe I'll go back and see

00:37:46.200 if we can't end that war as well. Knock on the door, Steve Zelensky there. We get an exclusive

00:37:52.160 interview on War Room. Thank you, Brian and Glenn. I appreciate you. Thank you. Ukraine house forever

00:37:56.960 was, they didn't even have an America house. When I say house, they had these locations where

00:38:02.380 everything around that country goes. We interviewed Scott Besant yesterday, the Secretary of Treasury

00:38:07.120 start the show for a 30-minute interview from America house. So that's where everything galvanized

00:38:11.800 run. There's two pieces today I want people to focus on. First off, Peter Schweitzer. We're going

00:38:16.500 to do an hour with Peter in the start of the hour before the Davos speech of President Trump kind of

00:38:21.720 got rearranged. Peter's going to be with us tomorrow at 11 o'clock to talk about his new book,

00:38:27.520 Silent Coup, a book that you have to get. I want to put that cover up. I got Rob Greenway from

00:38:35.120 Heritage. There's two pieces out this morning, one on Breitbart that's an exclusive about Peter's book,

00:38:40.940 about us training and taxpayers paying for the training of Chinese Communist Party pilots.

00:38:46.080 Yes, lots of them, thousands of them in the United States to be part of the PLA Air Force.

00:38:51.960 That will be the air force that will attack our carrier battle groups in the South China Sea in

00:38:56.220 the Straits of Taiwan. Rob, your piece is as disturbing as that is, just because it's ridiculous

00:39:04.800 we do this. Yours is actually more disturbing. I want everybody that's exclusive over at Fox

00:39:09.260 Digital. It is about a wargaming that's been taking place and the realities of that wargaming,

00:39:15.900 and it sounds like Captain Fennell wrote this about us not being totally prepared, the results of that,

00:39:23.560 and I guess Department of War, some people have been trying to redact it because they don't really

00:39:27.580 want the American people to know how deep a problem we have. Rob, I'll let you take it. It's a

00:39:32.560 very disturbing piece. Give us the background of this, and what does it tell us?

00:39:36.020 Sure, and thanks for having me on. What we've done for the last year is the first and only

00:39:41.280 artificial intelligence-enabled protracted conflict simulation between the United States

00:39:45.720 and China to address the strategic question of when either side would culminate, no longer be

00:39:50.580 able to conduct operations because of a lack of fuel and ammunition or attrition that results from

00:39:54.960 the conflict itself. And so we looked at year-long conflict scenarios, and we simulated at scale so

00:40:00.340 that we could be confident in our results. We hear oftentimes, as you do, that we have problems with fuel and

00:40:05.920 ammunition. I think that's well known. What isn't well known until now is exactly why and exactly on what

00:40:11.300 day we run out of exactly what munition or fuel on both sides. And so the redactions were done at our

00:40:17.160 discretion based on consultation with friends in the administration and in the departments and agencies

00:40:22.980 of our government responsible for the China threat. And our conclusion was that we had identified critical

00:40:27.820 vulnerabilities on the Chinese side that should be exploited, and we didn't want to give them

00:40:31.800 early warning by publishing it, and so they were redacted. And we also identified an enormous amount

00:40:37.900 of U.S. vulnerabilities, most of which are in the report because we have to correct them, some of

00:40:41.860 which were so sensitive we decided that we would redact them. A voluntary step on the part of the

00:40:47.980 Heritage Foundation, but I think the right one because we're obviously on Team America. In the end,

00:40:52.220 the bottom line is this. The United States in most scenarios will culminate, will run out of fuel and

00:40:57.100 ammunition before the Chinese do, and by significantly, I mean potentially within 30 to 35 days

00:41:05.320 in some scenarios, whereas the Chinese can generally sustain a conflict between 180 and 365 days

00:41:11.160 without a tremendous amount of difficulty, unless significant actions are taken, and those are

00:41:15.680 outlined in the reports for both the U.S. and the Chinese side. How does it, if you break it down

00:41:22.040 between ammunition, personnel, and fuel, with full-spectrum energy dominance, and now Venezuela,

00:41:28.220 Ghana, all that, and China's, basically, we cut them off from Venezuela. I've been arguing you've got to

00:41:32.960 cut them off from the Persian oil coming in those tankers through the Straits of Hormuz. The part that I

00:41:38.400 don't understand, walk me through how they have more longevity on fuel or ammo than we have, sir.

00:41:46.720 No, you're exactly right, and so this was designed to answer that question. So from our perspective,

00:41:51.500 the United States has sufficient fuel. Well, hang on, hang on, hang on. I can't, I can't be, I can't,

00:41:56.140 I can't be, I can't be, I can't be exactly right, because you're telling me, artificial intelligence

00:42:01.360 tells you no, Ben, and you're actually technically wrong, right? I mean, you would think that we would

00:42:06.900 have at least fuel, possibly ammo, but you're saying, hey, fuel and ammo, we're out, we're out in a

00:42:13.640 month. They last six months. That's a pretty big, that's a, that's a orders of magnitude discrepancy. How does that

00:42:20.740 work? Yeah, that, yeah, that it would, it equates to defeat. Now, on our side for fuel, we have

00:42:27.080 sufficient fuel, but we don't have the throughput capacity. We can't transport it, and we haven't

00:42:30.760 even requested the assets to do it, and that's in an uncontested or mildly contested environment. If

00:42:35.560 it's seriously contested, and it probably would be, we definitely don't have the assets to get it

00:42:39.380 there, and so we make recommendations to expand our strategic petroleum reserve to fill it first to

00:42:44.720 capacity, and then make sure the infrastructure's on the west coast where it's required, but we also don't

00:42:48.680 have the vessels, the ships to transport it, and we haven't even ordered them, and these are problems,

00:42:53.280 the worst problems are the ones you haven't identified, and for which there is no corrective

00:42:56.500 action, and this report, unfortunately, is full of them. Now, on the Chinese side for fuel, they have

00:43:00.940 a 1.2 billion barrel, actually, I think it's 1.3 billion barrel strategic petroleum reserve, which

00:43:06.380 gives them an enormous shock absorber in a conflict scenario, and again, their commute to work

00:43:12.120 in a Taiwan, first island chain, second island chain conflict is much shorter than ours. We're going

00:43:17.400 the other side of the planet, and our demand for resources is going to be higher. Now, so from a

00:43:22.320 fuel perspective, specific actions and recommendations we make, we'll get them to reduce that, and the

00:43:28.380 report details it. Ammunition-wise, they've been actively expanding their inventory of long-range

00:43:33.920 precision munitions, the things you need most, and so they have an advantage, but it's slight, and

00:43:38.940 they also have several external dependencies, which we could exploit. On our side, munitions, it is a

00:43:44.380 stockpile issue. It is also a throughput issue. We identify both in there. So in some cases, it's

00:43:50.000 lack of supply. In some cases, we just have lack of transport. We enumerate this in exhaustive detail

00:43:55.160 in the report, and the artificial intelligence part of it is critical because the scale of information

00:43:59.180 to model the Chinese and American fuel and ammunition systems, the entirety of them, is so

00:44:04.620 massive that we had to leverage technological advances to do it, and that's what the report does.

00:44:09.520 This is so important, and this is what Heritage does best. What I'm going to do is come back to

00:44:14.980 you. We're going to take an hour, maybe two hours on a Saturday, and I'm going to get Fennel and we'll

00:44:18.640 get other experts because this is so important. The Warren Posse has to understand this. And there's

00:44:24.200 a phrase there that Captain Fennel has been saying. The buried lead here is what Fennel has been banging

00:44:30.320 on the tables now for years. And even as we talk about these military operations we've had in Iran with

00:44:37.320 the nuclear issue and taking Maduro, his point, he keeps saying, he says, hey, guys, this is great.

00:44:43.320 We're on a roll. These expeditionary hits are fantastic, but they're not seriously contested.

00:44:49.000 That is the operative phrase. In this war game, bro, you're off the coast of China,

00:44:54.960 and you're defending the first island chain, and you're fighting around Taiwan and the Straits of

00:44:59.560 Taiwan, South China Sea, East China Sea. It's a big difference. They have a home field advantage

00:45:03.740 like nobody's business, so we've got to break it down. Rob, until that time, where do people go?

00:45:09.180 You're over at the Allison Center at Heritage. I want to make sure people go to your website in

00:45:13.100 the center, get more information you guys have in your social media, sir. Yes, sir. I'd encourage

00:45:18.860 everybody to go to heritage.org and download the tidal wave report or take a look at it. And then I'm at

00:45:24.660 rc underscore greenway on X and on true social. Thanks for having me, Steve. Appreciate it.

00:45:29.680 Thank you. Fantastic work. And we're going to get back to you this afternoon to set something up.

00:45:35.340 Just fantastic. We got to spend more time on this. This sets the framework for, you know, Carney being

00:45:41.440 over in Beijing, talking about a new world order, et cetera. So John Solomon's going to join us. He's

00:45:47.960 got another explosive exclusive that's coming out. It's actually come out right before President

00:45:53.760 Trump took the stage. We got John Solomon, Jason Trenner. It's going to sit here and put it in

00:45:57.720 economic perspective. Exactly what's going on. Norbin Lund's with me. Dr. Thayer, hopefully Captain

00:46:03.260 Fennell. We're going to get to Poso. Poso was actually in the room. So we're packed wall to wall

00:46:09.200 this morning. And the president get, like I said, if you're a nationalist, it was Pericles at Athens.

00:46:14.820 If you're a globalist, Trump went full gangster. And man, he did. It was a beatdown like I haven't

00:46:20.860 seen before. And no, no give up, no surrender, no retreat. Uh, one lesson coming out today,

00:46:28.200 I think is that we're in for a turbulent geopolitical future. We don't, we call this a

00:46:34.080 fourth turning, uh, gold approaching 5,000 bucks, silver approaching a hundred bucks. It

00:46:40.320 ain't the price. We've been telling you this for years. It's the process. It's what drives

00:46:44.380 value. Pattern recognition. Make sure you got it. Two ways you can do it. One, the all roads lead to

00:46:51.380 Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold. Two ways. Number one, take your phone and it attacks

00:47:02.120 metals. Don't forget silver in the age of Trump. The other is to go, uh, and go to birchgold.com,

00:47:08.960 promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire. Carney and, uh, particularly Ursula's speech

00:47:14.540 yesterday was like ripped from the pages of this report. Make sure you get to it today and get to

00:47:19.160 Philip Patrick at Birch Gold. Do it today. If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.

00:47:40.840 target. Now here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary

00:47:47.220 stamp, pay a small fee with your county and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your

00:48:01.600 it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice. So let me ask you,

00:48:08.480 when was the last time you checked your home title? If you're like me, the answer is never.

00:49:10.320 Okay. And all this, uh, in the speech, John Solomon joins me, John, for all the nationalist,

00:49:15.980 uh, president Trump went off on Carney and all of it against the globalists. He did stick in there

00:49:22.220 as president Trump has want to do that. The 2020 election was stolen. And he said, Hey, in a couple

00:49:27.840 of days, uh, there's going to be some developments you're going to hear about, about the prosecution

00:49:32.220 of this. You've got a breaking story that gets to the heart of the deep state. That's a blockbuster.

00:49:37.820 Can you take us, uh, take us through that? Yeah. First, what the president's talking about is

00:49:42.380 some documents are going to be declassified from ODNI and the justice department and some new

00:49:46.700 indictments coming. So as I said, on your show last week, uh, the machinery is finally ramped up.

00:49:51.980 They're finally staffed and you're going to start to see a significant wave of indictments.

00:49:56.140 Pam Bondi's in Minneapolis. I think you will see some of the funders of these protests, uh,

00:50:01.740 indicted soon, uh, for bank and tax, uh, uh, criminality. So keep an eye on that. I think

00:50:07.580 they're going to use the tax law like they did with Al Capone to go after these funding groups

00:50:11.580 and say they, they said they were doing X, but they're doing Y and that violates their tax status.

00:50:16.140 So keep an eye on Pam Bondi in Minneapolis with Kash Patel. There isn't an accident. They

00:50:20.540 landed on the ground there. It wasn't for optics. It was for indictments. And then I think you'll see

00:50:25.500 some stuff on elections. Uh, keep an eye on, uh, Tulsi Gabbard. She's been working on some really

00:50:30.780 amazing declassifications that I think will blow all of our minds soon. Uh, uh, and I think that's going to be

00:50:37.020 a big moment. Uh, this story is important because after the Russia, uh, collusion delusion, after

00:50:44.380 our, uh, crossfire hurricane, Chris Ray told the American public, yeah, it wasn't a good idea to

00:50:49.420 use Christopher Steele, but we fixed our human sources. We got our informants under control.

00:50:54.300 No more biases, no more foreign influence. Remember Christopher Steele was a British MI6 agent

00:50:59.900 who hated Trump and was being paid by Hillary Clinton. Well, three years later, after January 6th,

00:51:05.020 2021, uh, started treating a, a, a viciously anti-Trump group called the Sedition Hunters,

00:51:19.180 by the way, they're welcome to their opinion. That's not the problem. Uh, they started treating

00:51:23.180 them as human informants, confidential sources. They pay them over $150,000. The members of this group,

00:51:30.540 the members of this group were doing something that should have been done by the FBI

00:51:34.620 or by FBI contractors above board using facial recognition software to figure out who people

00:51:40.780 were who had attacked cops or penetrated the Capitol so they could figure out their identity

00:51:45.100 and arrest them. If you had a cop, you're going to get arrested. Um, but why did the FBI do that?

00:51:50.060 Makes no sense. Every FBI person who alerted to meet this over the last few months have said,

00:51:54.940 we have contractors that do this. This isn't a confidential sourcing. I think a lot of people in

00:51:59.740 Congress are, when they get these documents are going to be asking this question. Was this FBI

00:52:04.940 money going to an opposition research project? Sedition Hunters was on social media day in and day

00:52:10.700 out building the case that this was a Donald Trump, uh, riot conspiracy. Uh, and the FBI's money's

00:52:17.260 flowing to them, even though they have biases, even though the emails we made public today show that

00:52:22.460 they knew this group had foreign. In fact, this work was being done overseas. It should have been done.

00:52:27.020 It these are Americans being targeted. The FBI should have done it here. That is it. It's Christopher

00:52:31.820 Steele 2.0. John, here's what's so disturbing. Cause I, I know I would say you and cash,

00:52:41.020 I would say are the optimists in this, that the FBI can be reformed. And if you get new personnel

00:52:46.060 in there and these guys got to be let go, I take a harder line. I say, you got to take the counter

00:52:51.180 terrorism part and put it over with, I don't know, Tulsi or whatever. And you got to go back to law

00:52:56.140 enforcement, but that's gotta be assigned to the U S attorneys. I think you take the whole thing

00:53:00.060 down, but here's, I think you're, when I read your report, I go fricking Solomon gave me the

00:53:05.740 best ammunition I'm ever going to have because if, if there wasn't a system, look what Ray did

00:53:11.580 in your story, people's heads are going to blow up. Sedition Hunters is just not some marginal

00:53:15.820 group. They are central left wing influence operation on the outside that they obviously

00:53:21.900 funded and supported. Right. I mean, this is only the surface. We have no idea who knows how much

00:53:27.020 we don't have all the dollars. Yeah. And, and, and, and the support, the behind the scenes

00:53:32.380 information they may have been getting from the FBI. How did no one, this is 21, how did no one

00:53:38.860 in the system go to Congress, go to you, go to investigate reporters, anybody in the system

00:53:44.780 come forward and said, Hey, Ray and Barr are doing this. The, the institution is doing this.

00:53:50.700 How did no one, how we've now, why are we finding out about now because cash with no help happens to

00:53:56.780 be burned through a bunch of files and finds it himself, sir. This has been almost five years old.

00:54:03.740 Well, there are a bunch of FBI agents that are cooperating. I've met with some of them. These

00:54:07.740 agents are extraordinary. They're heroes, but here's the reason why. Remember some of those whistleblowers

00:54:12.300 that you and I've had on their shows very quickly after Biden came in, anyone who dared to blow the

00:54:17.740 whistle on the January 6 investigation got eviscerated. Their security clearances were pulled,

00:54:22.620 their salaries were stopped and they were bankrupted. So if you're an agent and you got to feed those

00:54:27.820 two kids at the dinner table, you're going to bite the bullet until a time when you know that you're

00:54:33.100 going to get an honest hearing. The inspector general didn't protect those, um, uh, whistleblowers.

00:54:39.340 Those whistleblowers were targeted because as the inspector general just reported now,

00:54:43.420 confirming our story from three years ago, people were targeted based on whether they supported

00:54:47.580 Trump or whether they were second amendment advocates. I want you to think about that.

00:54:51.100 The FBI pulled security clearances because someone like Donald Trump or the second amendment,

00:54:56.220 which is by the way, guaranteed in the constitution, that was what was going on. So whistleblowers

00:55:01.020 trying to preserve their livelihood and their pension. If you had 18 years in,

00:55:04.780 you're not going to take a risk when you know, when you reported, no one's going to do it. What's

00:55:08.380 happening now, whistleblowers are coming fist over glove to Kash Patel, to the Senate,

00:55:13.980 to the house. And they're, they're telling all the dirty secrets. And I have a different take on

00:55:19.340 the FBI and it's probably closer to what, um, I think the president seems to talk about a lot.

00:55:25.020 The FBI is doing great work right now. We had the lowest murder rate in a long time. We stopped

00:55:29.340 five or six or seven terror attacks. We stopped a whole bunch of school shootings. Remember what the FBI

00:55:33.500 would tell us during the Biden years? Oh, we knew about the guy, but we didn't get to him in time.

00:55:37.260 We stopped a lot of school shootings last year, stopped a lot of things. It's doing its work again,

00:55:41.980 but you will never stop what the Democrats did unless you put the people who did it in prison.

00:55:47.020 It wasn't an institution that did it. It was bad actors at the top. And if we don't put them in

00:55:51.100 handcuffs and arrest them, it will happen again. If we do, there's a disincentive to do it in the future.

00:55:58.140 John Solomon, where do people go to get the blockbuster reports you're putting out

00:56:02.060 of all these investigations, sir, in your show. Where to go?

00:56:06.060 Yeah. Just the news.com. Uh, Jay Solomon reports on all social media. And I'm lucky enough to follow

00:56:23.500 Chris Ray was Christie's recommendation. Chris Christie. How did, how did he get back in to get close

00:56:31.500 to Trump to make this recommendation? The most disastrous, and I'm including Powell in that,

00:56:38.380 the most disastrous we had was Chris Ray. Bill Barr close second. Short break, second hour,

00:56:45.020 more on fire even than the first. Jason Trenner is up. We're packed wall to wall back in two minutes.
