00:03:00.200 2019 the most important may of 2019 the most important month geopolitically in this century
00:03:07.120 when after two years we've got to remember it's two years and it's bob lighthizer and peter navar
00:03:12.560 and president trump and president trump is very engaged in this an incredibly tough two-year
00:03:17.560 negotiation to basically take uh rid the system of the seven deadly sins of the chinese communist 0.87
00:03:25.900 party and the way they run their economy they tore it up and spit in our face they declared 0.98
00:03:33.100 because they had the one belt one road they're at the top of their game the predatory capitalism
00:03:36.700 kind of east india model of predatory predatory capitalism and the lead capture they were going
00:03:42.700 to go all the way to you know all the way into europe through south asia sub-saharan africa
00:03:47.980 putin was at the meeting i think it was in shanghai that shanghai cooperation group they're
00:03:52.220 laughing at us then they declared a people's war at the same time he he gave an order these uh he
00:03:59.780 gave an order that these um these business guys jack mon these guys they're getting too big
00:04:04.660 we're gonna we're gonna crack down on that that's our technology you want to know what our technology
00:04:11.380 is why do you think these chinese electric vehicles are like state-of-the-art now there's 0.92
00:04:16.640 they took the technology from tesla when's the last time tesla put anything out
00:04:22.160 Elon Musk, they took his technology.
00:04:25.040 That's what they steal the technology.
00:04:26.280 You either do a joint venture where they're going to steal it
00:04:28.340 or they're just going to come and steal it anyway.
00:04:31.180 I mean, John Solomon had a very practical point last night
00:04:34.560 when I'm jumping up and down about Jensen Wong being there
00:04:37.060 and selling the chips again to basically give them an ecosystem,
00:04:40.160 the 500,000 students, the chips we give them,
00:04:44.440 Larry Fink and Steve Schwartzman to finance the whole thing,
00:04:47.580 The whole ecosystem allows them to even have an AI industry.
00:04:52.220 And Solomon's answers are pretty practical actually.
00:04:54.620 He says, hey, look, in the administration, they know they're just stealing them anyway.
00:04:57.860 They're paying for them off in black market.
00:05:00.340 They're taking reverse engineering.
00:05:04.480 They're the enemy.
00:05:06.640 And so the strategic, and take your number two principle out and write this down because this is the new construct.
00:05:13.020 Constructive strategic stability.
00:05:18.200 Stability.
00:05:19.940 Take your number two pencil and underline that last one.
00:05:22.980 Stability.
00:05:24.460 This is a country that has sent 200,000,
00:05:28.600 200,000 military age men into this country.
00:05:32.600 This is a country to be special forces for when the balloon goes up.
00:05:37.880 This is a country that every day,
00:05:40.680 this is the U.S. government that says this,
00:05:42.380 not the war room, not Steve Bannon.
00:05:44.380 This is the U.S. government.
00:05:45.360 Every day hits us with a more sophisticated cyber attack, probing into infrastructure, and not just cyber attack to, like, bug people, a cyber attack to prod into basic infrastructure to be able to take us down and cause disruption.
00:06:00.200 this is a uh a uh just found guilty in a manhattan court yesterday to have a whole police force
00:06:08.180 out there to intimidate those individuals who come to lao baijing who somehow escape
00:06:14.600 and live throughout the country they kind of want to live the life of freedom they got the they got
00:06:20.120 their own police force keeping an eye on you in the neighborhood you're down in chinatown in new 0.51
00:06:23.720 york you're basically in the grips of the chinese communist party they just found guilty in arcadia
00:06:29.340 And Arcadia is, you know, it's a little town in the greater Los Angeles area, but it's emblematic.
00:06:34.120 You're going to have thousands, thousands of these mayors or people in the political process who are agents of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:06:44.300 You got the students, the students, every student has to sign.
00:06:49.960 And this is not I'm not against the Chinese people.
00:06:52.360 Lao Ba Jing. I love the Chinese people.
00:06:53.940 I've had some of the greatest moments of my life with the Chinese people, their history and what they've gone through.
00:06:59.340 Because the greatest enemy the Chinese people have ever had, the greatest enemy was not Japan, it's not Korea, and not the United States of America.
00:07:08.140 The greatest enemy they've ever had is the Chinese Communist Party. 0.54
00:07:11.000 it murdered 250 million of them 250 million of them were slaughtered in great leaps forward
00:07:21.820 in in the revolution and the civil war and and you know the cultural revolution and the
00:07:27.740 collectivization and you know mal and if you look at how mal thought thought of them
00:07:32.720 they were wasted on the nuclear attack he says hey if we get hit how many we lose oh 100 million
00:07:37.960 He goes, oh, man, we'll breed that in no challenge.
00:07:39.980 That's nothing. 0.99
00:07:40.660 If that's what the West can do is hit us and kill 100 million people, 0.98
00:07:43.560 not a problem. 0.99
00:07:45.080 Can do easy.
00:07:47.760 This is your mindset of what you're up against.
00:07:50.260 You think Xi has changed that at all?
00:07:52.140 He has not changed that at all.
00:07:54.740 It's the good guys don't rise.
00:07:57.600 That's a Darwinian system.
00:08:00.160 Good guys don't rise in that system.
00:08:02.120 the the most murderous the most ambitious the deadliest the most lethal the most untrustworthy
00:08:11.280 that's who rises in that system that's the system they built
00:08:14.640 read what is it jan your karik's a book a kill to order take that home and make that nighttime
00:08:22.120 reading for you where they've they've monetized the ability to take political prisoners 0.90
00:08:27.480 and they've made political prisoners a profit center yeah we're just going to cut them up and
00:08:32.780 sell their parts in england and the tutors and in the religious wars the catholics and the
00:08:37.780 protestants during the tutor uh tutor era the elizabethan hey for treason sometimes it was
00:08:44.260 the catholic sometimes the protestant depending on who was in charge either bloody mary or queen
00:08:49.100 elizabeth or mary queen of scots we're going to draw and quarter you take your entrails out
00:08:54.820 That's a trader's thing.
00:08:57.560 They've won up the Elizabethan era.
00:08:59.620 They do it.
00:09:00.060 They monetize it and make money off it.
00:09:02.400 Think of the mindset.
00:09:03.460 Think of the mindset.
00:09:04.920 Stability.
00:09:06.820 Have we gotten the $20 trillion in reparations from the pandemic, the one that now an open
00:09:15.180 congressional testimony by a CIA officer tells you flat out that Fauci got in there between
00:09:21.740 with the 12th of August and the 17th
00:09:23.880 and totally changed it
00:09:24.960 when the intelligence agencies understood fully
00:09:28.060 that the virus came from a lab leak, right?
00:09:34.160 If you believe that, lab leak,
00:09:35.440 but it came from the military operation
00:09:38.560 of the bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China.
00:09:41.640 You got any reparations on that?
00:09:46.020 This gangster operation is solely
00:09:50.820 focused on their empowerment and they're becoming a hegemon in world domination 1.00
00:09:58.100 world domination and you can tell they want to start in east asia they want to start with
00:10:04.300 the first island chain because cleo pascal has put us with the most brilliant assessment ever
00:10:09.800 guess what the great leaders in the 19th century understood something manifest destiny did not
00:10:16.280 end at the shore of washington and oregon and california manifest destiny we are a pacific power
00:10:24.200 in one day one day because they could think downrange one day it's going to be the chinese
00:10:32.820 and the americans kind of hey who's actually in charge here and we fought the uh we fought
00:10:40.740 world war ii as part of that adjunct to that and here's where we are now but you if you buy into
00:10:46.800 construction constructive strategic stability you've bought into their premise that they are
00:10:53.780 a worthy and equal partner and they are not a worthy and equal partner they are a murderous
00:11:00.440 dictatorship run by a group of thugs how do i know that i can see what they've done to our own beloved
00:11:07.580 country, unrestricted warfare. They came up with this in the 1990s. Why was that? Because
00:11:14.480 remember, don't get the history wrong here. McCarthy had it right. Marshall and the group
00:11:22.560 of communists in the State Department turned the country over to a group of bandits. 0.85
00:11:29.040 And we abandoned the Chinese that have fought with us. And they were not perfect. Trust me,
00:11:35.220 They're double dealing us all the time and stealing all the time.
00:11:37.800 They were far from perfect, but they actually fought with us and still well and everybody 0.99
00:11:43.660 in World War II and took huge casualties because the Chinese Communist Party would not, they
00:11:48.920 would hold their power to fight the nationalists.
00:11:50.820 They would not risk any troops against the Japanese. 0.99
00:11:53.240 I said, let these guys kill each other. 0.96
00:11:55.760 We turned the country over in 1949 to the Chinese Communist Party. 0.94
00:11:59.940 We, the United States of America, General Marshall and that crowd at the State Department
00:12:05.720 turned it over to him and McCarthy called him out and McCarthy went to the floor of
00:12:09.920 the Senate and gave a six hour speech and said, we've retreated from victory here of
00:12:15.460 what we sacrificed to win World War II.
00:12:18.780 Marshall resigned in 90 days.
00:12:22.240 Nobody wants to talk about he resigned in 90 days. 0.99
00:12:24.900 My wife's got some health problems.
00:12:26.500 I think I want to spend more time with my family.
00:12:29.940 In 1989, after having 50 years of this brutal dictatorship, on top of them, Lao Bai Jing, with no resources, revolted.
00:12:40.720 And the CCP didn't even know how to handle it.
00:12:43.620 But as soon as the goddess of liberty, as soon as the art union students built a papier-mâché replica of the Statue of Liberty in the United States of America and put it in Tiananmen Square, they said, game's over, get the tanks out.
00:12:58.160 and the next thing you know you had Tank Man.
00:13:00.800 And 10,000 who just wasn't in Tiananmen Square
00:13:03.000 was all over the freaking country.
00:13:06.140 And what did the United States do? 0.96
00:13:07.600 What did the Bush do?
00:13:08.400 What did the globalists, corporatists do?
00:13:10.860 They put Brent Scowcroft on a plane to go over there
00:13:13.660 and tell them, hey, boys, you got to settle down here.
00:13:17.400 We can't have this.
00:13:18.340 This is a little too much in people's faces.
00:13:20.940 There are too many kids being slaughtered in Tiananmen Square.
00:13:24.500 There's too much blood in Tiananmen Square.
00:13:26.440 and we're going to make a deal.
00:13:28.340 And here's the deal.
00:13:29.280 You're going to be the manufacturing hub. 0.98
00:13:30.920 The Lao Bai Jing will be the slave labor. 0.98
00:13:33.040 And we're going to finance it 0.96
00:13:34.300 and we're going to have the markets for you.
00:13:36.560 And we're all going to,
00:13:37.700 it's going to be a win-win.
00:13:39.620 Scowcroft, it's going to be a win-win.
00:13:41.620 But you got to tone it down.
00:13:45.540 And we handed the country back over
00:13:49.600 to the Chinese Communist Party. 0.97
00:13:51.620 Once again, Deng Xiaoping and this group of thugs. 0.51
00:13:54.100 And then we gave them most favored nation. We gave them an entrance to the WTO. Clinton allowed suitcases of cash to come in the West Wing. Hell, let the general sleep in the Lincoln bedroom. And Newt Gingrich, these guys are no better. And then Bush in 2001, he's rubbing up on them.
00:14:14.780 they have abused this country they've abused our citizens and they've particularly abused 0.91
00:14:23.680 lao baijing the common man in china who's never gotten a break 0.86
00:14:29.380 so no should not be constructive strategic stability it should be what ronald reagan

00:18:11.400 a topic for another day. Your thoughts as President Trump now is going to get ready to land in Alaska
00:18:16.240 and then head to uh back to the imperial steve i just you know i caught caught the monologue there
00:18:21.240 and i just i just gotta say i don't i don't you know i just have a big problem with your monologue
00:18:25.100 steve you had you had problems or did not have problems big problems you gotta you gotta go
00:18:31.260 harder you gotta go hard not hard enough not hard enough no mccarthy was a hundred percent right the
00:18:39.100 only thing mccarthy did wrong was he didn't go hard enough he didn't go hard enough to get the
00:18:43.760 He said the communists are going through the State Department.
00:18:46.560 Then Walt Disney was up there at HUAC saying that the communists are all coming through Hollywood.
00:18:51.440 Now you've got the Star Wars guys are kissing each other on Stephen Colbert's show.

00:19:02.620 They're laughing.
00:19:03.760 They're laughing at us.
00:19:05.580 They insult the president of the United States to his face.
00:19:09.300 They insulted him to his face.
00:19:11.020 And I called it out in real time.
00:19:13.140 I was shocked that they would do this. He did it again. I talked about how we don't want to
00:19:18.680 conflict. You know, it's like when you go see the mob boss and he says, you know, we don't want to
00:19:22.600 have a problem here. OK, we can do this the good way or we could do you do this the hard way or
00:19:27.520 do this the easy way. And we're prepared to do both. And remember, Xi Jinping did not say that
00:19:33.260 Taiwan should be ours. He said it is ours. He said it is ours. And the only question is,
00:19:40.080 how does it return to our full control? That's what he said. And I'd be a Taiwanese ambassador
00:19:45.980 up on human events a couple of days ago. We had Paula Scanlon. She's actually of Taiwanese descent,
00:19:51.580 aboriginal Chinese, believe it or not. Some of the original tribes even prior to the landing of
00:19:58.020 of Chiang Kai-shek. But people need to understand this isn't a game. And the thing about the 500,000
00:20:05.040 students I thought was so, and the farmland, by the way, I thought was so telling because that
00:20:09.940 shows that it's not a priority for the United States. That shows how much of a priority that
00:20:15.380 is for Xi Jinping. Because remember, those 500,000, this isn't the Lao Bai Jing. This isn't
00:20:21.540 just a random Chinese families who are scraping together a couple of bucks and they get scholarships.
00:20:26.340 No, it is the sons and daughters of the Chinese elite. It is the sons and daughters of the party 0.62
00:20:32.400 who come over like Xi Jinping's own daughter did under a false name, who went to Harvard,
00:20:37.000 got the degree, then came back. The farmland, again, it's the same thing. They're getting
00:20:42.120 more. Look, are they willing to help out on the Strait of Hormuz? We'll see. President Trump says
00:20:46.300 they are. I take him at his word. They're willing to help on that. They're willing to help on Iran
00:20:50.800 nukes. They're willing to help on a number of things. But you notice, Steve, they didn't want
00:20:56.000 to fold on the students and the farmland. And why? Because that's more important to them than
00:21:03.420 all of these other things that's the key here that's the signal not the noise yeah and that's
00:21:09.260 where we got to stop it i want to go back to iran for a second what is it because in their readout
00:21:13.900 correct me if i'm wrong i didn't see any mention of iran in this situation and we've been an
00:21:19.020 advocate of hey this is a great powers situation uh that president trump could do something behind
00:21:24.500 closed doors to not look for them to agree with him but to say hey look this has got to stop it
00:21:31.660 can't be anymore arming them in the overland route uh we're going to stop this nonsense
00:21:35.940 about you buying their oil and using a chinese yuan unless you have our backs on opening up 0.91
00:21:43.180 the straits in the persian gulf what do you actually believe because she the chinese are
00:21:48.960 other than the fact it is upsetting their energy market which is huge don't get me wrong
00:21:53.480 they're loving the fact that we're having to deal with iran in the iran situation folks i think the
00:22:00.020 persians are going to sit there and just drag it out through the midterms any kind of fantasy
00:22:03.500 people have i'm going to get off ramp and get out of here i think it's going to be very tough
00:22:07.960 because these people are savvy enough to know they feel i'm not saying they do but they feel
00:22:12.420 they have us that you think that she and the chinese communist party jack have come up with
00:22:17.260 any kind of real support because it wasn't in the readout they just had a uh they just had a
00:22:22.240 press conference with their foreign secretary and he says yeah everybody kind of wants you know
00:22:26.980 world peace, right? Your thoughts on what what they're prepared to do to back us in Iran.
00:22:34.780 Well, Steve, I think that the president is definitely in negotiation mode there. There's
00:22:39.380 no question he's in dealmaking mode. And a lot of those statements, you know, to be clear to
00:22:43.820 everyone, he's making those statements when he's with Sean Hannity, that's on Chinese soil. When
00:22:48.520 he was on Air Force One and that gaggle, he's still in Chinese airspace. So I'd like to wait 1.00
00:22:53.900 until he's back into the United States, until we start to see what's coming out of the White
00:22:59.520 House, what we're starting to see there as well, before we really can tell what level of a deal
00:23:05.660 or any leverage is coming down vis-a-vis Iran. And we know that that was a huge part of the
00:23:10.320 subtext here. You didn't hear it on the readout at all from the Chinese side. The Chinese side
00:23:14.540 is Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan. Everything they're saying is Taiwan. President mentioned
00:23:19.700 it. It wasn't in a lot of the readouts. He just said they want the Strait of Hormuz open and they
00:23:25.160 want Iran to not have a nuclear weapon. Sure. OK. And in fact, by the way, that's been a Chinese
00:23:31.200 position even prior to it being American position. That's been a longstanding position for the
00:23:36.460 Chinese. They've always said that. And in fact, I was one of the people who was advocating that,
00:23:42.680 hey, maybe we reach out to China and Russia in the first place. And rather than go in with guns
00:23:48.180 blazing, we reach out to some of these other world powers who have those connections, military with
00:23:54.120 Iran or with Iran and Russia, and then economic with China and Iran, and see if there's something 0.65
00:23:59.700 that we can do that way, rather than the BB Netanyahu, hey, let's go guns blazing and be 0.67
00:24:05.540 dropping bombs from everywhere. And, you know, just hopefully that hopefully everything's going 0.88
00:24:10.020 to work out. Steve, let me tell you something. You think the Persians are going to fold? Did
00:24:13.120 the taliban fold all right did did isis fold no these these people do not fold they are hardened
00:24:19.740 they actually believe what they say they actually are dug in over there and they've been dug in for
00:24:26.440 a very very long time so anyone thinks they're just gonna back down when it's it's it's when
00:24:33.500 she when she talked about the 5 000 years you know the person gonna sit there hey we're good
00:24:38.360 for 25 3 000 of that they haven't changed as the same guys uh the same guys alexander the great
00:24:44.780 we're dealing the russians brought up the the russians brought when they were in one of the
00:24:48.160 negotiations with ukraine they brought up the uh the the northern war with sweden they said that
00:24:52.920 was 300 years ago i said yeah what's your point exactly like oh yesterday okay real quickly because
00:24:58.980 i know you gotta bounce i want to go back to the chinese readouts everything that they have said
00:25:04.020 publicly besides a new paradigm with his constructive strategic stability is about
00:25:09.660 Taiwan. Give me their perspective of what went down regarding Taiwan and what is their their
00:25:15.940 position is that that is ours. That is a wayward province. It's not an independent country. And we 0.84
00:25:21.880 need you to stop addressing it as such. President Trump did say on the plane that, hey, I've got to
00:25:27.800 make a decision on the arms sales for Taiwan, which I thought was kind of a first. Your thoughts,
00:25:33.560 Jack, on how Xi and the Chinese Communist Party position the situation with Taiwan.
00:25:40.220 Yeah, Steve, I was on with Gordon Chang last night, and I got to tell you that he and I
00:25:44.940 are in locks up on this.
00:25:46.300 This is the most aggressive that we have ever heard a Chinese leader say to an American
00:25:52.520 leader directly face to face that we will have Taiwan back.
00:25:58.740 This was not status quo.
00:25:59.980 is typically what you get is it's it's somewhere down the line and it's we affirm the one China
00:26:04.780 policy. We affirm the one China policy. What does the one China policy mean? The one China policy
00:26:09.040 means there is one China, but then you never actually have to take that next step and say,
00:26:13.220 is it the People's Republic or the Republic? Which China is the real China? So you got this
00:26:17.480 Schrodinger's China kind of situation. No, all that's out the window. Xi Jinping isn't playing
00:26:22.280 any of those technocratic linguistic word games that Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao said. He said,
00:26:26.820 know, Taiwan is ours. Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China. It will be part of
00:26:31.960 the People's Republic of China. And the only question is when and what the mechanism is going
00:26:36.260 to be. And he's sitting there saying that in ensconced in the great hall of the people. He's
00:26:40.800 next to Zhang Yanhai. He's got the military leaders there. So he's being very, very clear
00:26:45.500 about what he wants. And he's being very, very direct. This is. And Steve, one of the reasons
00:26:50.900 that i find it so striking is this is not typically how the chinese negotiate at all you don't you
00:26:57.540 they're usually very circuitous they're very circumspect they sort of make references to 0.99
00:27:02.660 things they might like but they're not direct about it xi jinping is pulling a playbook out
00:27:07.680 from chairman mao he's pulling a playbook out from chairman mao he's built the cult of personality
00:27:12.820 around him he's got the self-revolution where it's an ongoing purge that's what he wanted to
00:27:17.800 He wanted to make sure he wanted to make sure of anyone who could be a rival or against him.
00:27:21.980 Yeah. He wanted to make sure that the foreign devils didn't misinterpret it. 1.00
00:27:27.080 He wanted to make sure the foreign devils got it with with both. 0.93
00:27:30.060 There's no strategic ambiguity here. 0.99
00:27:32.040 No strategic strategic ambiguity gone.
00:27:35.380 This is the that's I guess the constructive phase, right?
00:27:38.640 Jack. That's clarity. That's clarity.
00:27:41.500 Clarity. You're you're the you're the associated press of the MAGA movement.
00:27:45.180 Your Twitter feed. Where do folks go, sir?

00:28:51.000 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.
00:28:55.700 Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.
00:28:59.120 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.
00:29:06.020 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.
00:29:10.660 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.
00:29:14.560 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.
00:29:20.220 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:29:28.280 But it starts with education.

00:30:12.260 to 989898 and do it today here's your host steven k band captain finnell you got some breaking news
00:30:22.900 I know you've got to bounce. We're going to get you back up tomorrow, hopefully, or Monday.
00:30:26.840 What do you got for us, sir?
00:30:28.900 Yeah, Steve, since we've been talking, and as Jack alluded to in the last segment,
00:30:33.280 things are starting to come out now, more details.
00:30:36.240 And Xinhua Press, the Chinese official press, came out and said that China maintains on the basis of sustaining the ceasefire,
00:30:43.720 the Strait of Hormuz should be reopened as soon as possible,
00:30:46.880 and at the same time believes that the fundamental solution to issues concerning the strait
00:30:51.340 lies in the realization of a permanent ceasefire. That's the first news item. The second one is,
00:30:56.780 is that Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced that, or the Foreign Ministry announced that President
00:31:01.480 Xi has accepted President Trump's invitation to visit the United States in the autumn, September
00:31:06.780 timeframe. So those are two gifts that I think that the Chinese are giving to President Trump
00:31:12.300 now that he's out of China. Let me go back to your commentary earlier about the constructive
00:31:17.840 of strategic stability.
00:31:19.760 Xinhua, again, did a commentary,
00:31:21.680 a new paradigm for China-U.S. relations
00:31:24.240 begins with joint action.
00:31:26.520 I want to quote there.
00:31:27.580 The agreement represents an important attempt
00:31:29.480 to answer the defining questions of the 21st century. 0.51
00:31:32.740 Can China and the United States overcome
00:31:34.940 the Thucydides trap and create a new paradigm
00:31:38.320 of major country relations?
00:31:40.120 Can the two countries meet global challenges together
00:31:42.520 and provide greater stability for the world?
00:31:44.960 Can they build a bright future together
00:31:47.380 for the bilateral relations in the interest of the well-being of the two peoples
00:31:51.800 in the future of humanity.
00:31:54.100 Your thoughts, Captain Fennell? 1.00
00:31:56.920 Yeah, that's classic Chinese Communist Party propaganda 1.00
00:32:00.180 to insert themselves and climb up that last rung of the ladder 0.99
00:32:04.140 or to go to the top of the heap and to throw whoever was on the top of the mountain off
00:32:09.540 and take their flag and break it and put their flag on the top of the mountain.
00:32:14.000 And that's exactly what they're suggesting.
00:32:16.340 Xi's got a plan for it.
00:32:17.660 It's a global governance initiative he's talked about in the last couple of years, supported
00:32:22.460 by a global security initiative, global development initiative, and global cultural initiative.
00:32:28.000 He has a global world order that he is designing, and he knows who's going to be running it,
00:32:32.780 and he's going to run it in his mind.
00:32:35.020 And he has now just said to President Trump, hey, we're going to be partners today and
00:32:40.100 tomorrow by 2049, I'll be running everything.
00:32:42.720 and we should not fall into that trap in any way shape or form we should resist amen brother
00:32:47.580 couple and we should fight it decouple decouple that's the operant word captain finnell thank
00:32:53.260 you look forward to getting you back on cleo pascal you're in the vast pacific has a feel
00:32:58.080 from the island chains about what just happened and about that comment from zing zingua ma'am
00:33:03.880 so so it's not decouple it's de-parasite remember that this is the way that they integrate into the
00:33:09.860 economy is fundamentally parasitic. And this gets to the getting control over the language. And I
00:33:15.920 didn't want to go into the Thucydides trap route, but it drives me nuts. So I have a little thing
00:33:21.900 that I do in my own head to see whether or not I think what the Chinese are saying is just pure
00:33:26.680 propaganda or something I have to think about. And that's, I apply the India test. So is there 0.86
00:33:31.740 another rising power that isn't behaving like an aggressive fascist expansionist monster on the 0.95
00:33:39.260 world scene. And yeah, India is obviously not perfect. But this idea that any rising country 0.53
00:33:45.400 in India is certainly rising becomes a competitor is proven wrong by India. And India is an 0.99
00:33:51.760 existential threat for a lot of the things that China claims and uses in order to justify its 0.91
00:33:58.780 behavior. So you need an authoritarian regime to govern a country of a billion people. Well,
00:34:03.900 India is a democracy. You can't have religious freedom in a country because it'll be too 1.00
00:34:10.320 destabilizing and you need to throw a million Uyghurs in concentration camps. Again, India is 1.00
00:34:15.800 not perfect, but it's certainly not China. You have to have a kind of cultural structure that
00:34:24.660 is based on an ethno-nationalism that is strictly Han. India is a very complex society with a whole 0.82
00:34:31.380 bunch of different groupings. So you can see just by applying kind of a basic common sense from a
00:34:37.900 third, not the G2, but look a little bit wider, that a lot of these psychological warfare elements 0.96
00:34:44.240 that the Chinese are throwing out all over the place are designed to lock you into their reasoning 0.50
00:34:49.800 and their outcomes. So I didn't mean to go on that little rant, but that's been driving me crazy. 1.00
00:34:56.700 This two cities trap nonsense is pure psychological warfare on the part of the Chinese. 1.00
00:35:01.760 In terms of the Central Pacific, again, I'm currently in Palau. 0.99
00:35:06.240 Palau is a country that recognizes Taiwan.
00:35:09.180 And if President Trump wants to, there's never been a sitting U.S. president who visited any Pacific Island country.
00:35:16.520 And three Pacific Island countries are in free association with the U.S.
00:35:20.380 They serve in the U.S. military.
00:35:22.180 They're people, citizens of another country can serve in the U.S. military at very high rates.
00:35:26.700 They can live and work in the U.S.
00:35:28.260 The ties to the U.S. are really close.
00:35:30.280 This is the country of Peleliu.
00:35:32.580 I'm not far from the island of Peleliu at this very moment.
00:35:36.160 And perhaps instead of refueling in Alaska on the next Asian trip, the president could
00:35:42.700 refuel in Palau or in the Marshall Islands, a country that recognizes Taiwan and is in
00:35:48.480 close association with the U.S.
00:35:50.060 You don't have to say anything, just show up.
00:35:52.380 In the meantime, I'd just say that in terms of the Central Pacific, the thing that I'm most worried about is still the U.S. territory, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, which is about two hours north of here.
00:36:05.620 It was hit by a typhoon. These are about 50,000 Americans living on American soil.
00:36:10.140 terribly devastated very concerned about what will happen to the federal funding that is
00:36:18.520 hopefully going to start pouring in if it gets to their actual population interior department
00:36:24.500 of interior is finally realizing that this is probably one of the most corrupt places in the
00:36:28.800 u.s so they have sent comptrollers to take a look at the federal money but they're not doing things
00:36:34.700 like saying maybe we should require chinese to have visas to come to the commonwealth of northern
00:36:40.020 Mariana Islands. Chinese can still set foot on U.S. soil in the Commonwealth of Northern
00:36:45.180 Mariana without a visa. This is a place that the woman who ran the Bureau of Motor Vehicles was 0.99
00:36:50.120 convicted of selling driver's licenses to Chinese, where they set up a Chinese casino that was 0.82
00:36:55.720 running billions into the U.S. economy. I think probably there's an argument to be made that the 0.55
00:37:01.260 Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands is the location the U.S. may be apart from D.C. that's
00:37:05.800 the most penetrated by China, that has the most undocumented aliens, illegal people in the U.S.
00:37:14.320 By one former FBI agent estimated that there are about 10,000 in CNMI for a population of 50,000 people.
00:37:22.780 And it's possibly per capita rife with the most fraud.
00:37:26.280 The former governor who died suddenly, Arnold Palacios, was trying to find out what happened to about $1.6 billion worth of federal funding
00:37:34.960 when he died. So if the U.S. is serious about securing its border and securing the Central
00:37:45.860 Pacific, there are people in CNMI who really need the VP's fraud squad, treasury, heavy-duty
00:37:54.780 actors to come in and clean them up. They're about 60 miles from Guam, where we already know
00:38:00.300 volt typhoon is uh is in the critical infrastructure so the chinese are are whatever 1.00
00:38:05.880 they're saying in all of these meetings they're pushing full ahead for uh the unrestricted warfare 0.99
00:38:12.500 in some of the most sensitive parts of the u.s meanwhile right next door you have countries like
00:38:18.620 here in palau that are making these um valiant stands for democracy transparency rule of law
00:38:25.520 even to the point of recognizing Taiwan.
00:38:29.100 Okay, Cleo, we've got to bounce.

00:38:35.240 We have a strong interest in the Central Pacific,
00:38:38.240 the Western Pacific, the Mid-Pacific,
00:38:40.980 all of it, ma'am.
00:38:41.780 The South Pacific?
00:38:44.400 The Central Pacific,
00:38:45.660 the geographical pivot of history
00:38:47.040 with the United States of America.
00:38:49.300 My ex is just my name, Cleo Pascal. 0.79

00:38:59.060 You just wait for it. 0.91
00:39:00.080 You wait for it.
00:39:01.220 The pivot, the geostrategic pivot of the United States is the Central Pacific.
00:39:05.780 The giants in the 19th century knew it, and Chester Nimitz and General Douglas MacArthur knew it also.
00:39:12.140 Cleo Pascoe, thank you. 0.66
00:39:13.400 Let's follow her.
00:39:14.360 We've got a cold.
00:39:15.120 We're going to pivot now on one of our favorite topics.
00:39:17.820 Let's go and play the cold open.
00:39:18.940 Cortez is going to be here.
00:39:19.860 last day as fed chair for jerome powell thankfully now the media fawns over him of course
00:39:30.000 but he's been a disaster in that key role why do they so love him well because he's a partisan
00:39:37.560 who pretends not to be and because he's the very epitome of a washingtonian lifer a man of
00:39:46.280 no talent and even less principal who can only thrive in the sewer that is D.C. Now, he lied
00:39:54.280 constantly to Americans that inflation was, quote, transitory to protect Biden and Yellen.
00:40:01.720 For more than five years straight now, 62 consecutive months, inflation has been above,
00:40:08.120 well above his own stated 2% goal. So his tenure was a failure, a disgrace, and he will not be
00:40:17.100 missed by regular Americans struggling to pay their bills. Steve Cortez, you argue, you believe
00:40:25.460 he may be the, if not one of the worst, the worst chairman of the Federal Reserve in history. Can
00:40:32.240 you make that case, sir? Oh, no, he's the worst. And by the way, I can use his own metrics, you 0.87
00:40:37.760 know, as I mentioned in that video, against him. And let me show you that in chart form. So if we
00:40:42.940 pull up chart one, please. This is from Charlie Belello, and this is CPI. This is official
00:40:48.360 inflation, which I think actually understates where inflation really is in the United States
00:40:52.780 for consumers. But nonetheless, if we're going to use official government gauges, this chart shows
00:40:57.360 that for 62 straight months, for over five years, inflation has been above, and most of the time,
00:41:05.020 well above, substantially above the 2% target goal that Jerome Powell himself sets.
00:41:12.520 So how can you possibly say that this tenure is anything but a failure when by your own metrics,
00:41:18.540 by your own goals, your own stated targets, you don't even come close, not for one month.
00:41:23.380 I mean, in 62 months, you can't come close once just sort of by accident.
00:41:28.060 Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:41:29.020 Can I get that chart up?
00:41:30.580 Do we have the chart?
00:41:32.320 Okay, great.
00:41:33.400 We don't have the chart.
00:41:34.340 Give me that again, though. Walk me back through that.
00:41:37.720 So for 62 straight months over five years now running and running, by the way, consecutive months for five years straight, the inflation rate, the official stated inflation rate of the United States has been not just above, but most of that time, substantially above the Fed's 2% target.
00:41:57.860 That is a miserable failure by any reasonable, any objective measure.
00:42:03.040 And again, I'm using his goal.
00:42:04.680 He said that the goal is 2% for his Fed.
00:42:07.940 He hasn't hit it a single month in 62 months.
00:42:12.280 So how can anyone say it's anything but a failure?
00:42:14.320 But despite that, unfortunately, corporate media is fawning all over him.
00:42:18.380 Yesterday, today, you know, they're trying to say, oh, this is the valedictory of some great man.
00:42:22.540 And let me give you some specific quotes on that.
00:42:24.720 Sarah Eisen, who is an anchor at CNBC, this is part of what she said.
00:42:29.040 You can look up her quote.
00:42:29.940 I have it on my social media.
00:42:31.480 She called him, quote, a champion.
00:42:33.700 And she credited him for, this is, quote, saving the world economy during COVID.
00:42:40.280 Saving the world economy.
00:42:41.940 This is the kind of fawning and adulation that is coming from a business reporter, from
00:42:45.940 somebody who was supposed to be covering Wall Street, who was supposed to have an understanding
00:42:49.220 of math and facts and figures and price.
00:42:52.520 By the way, it's kind of fitting, by the way, that he's leaving with interest rates surging in this country right now.
00:42:58.820 And that's not all his fault, but it is largely his fault that inflation got that out of control.
00:43:04.000 And why did it get that out of control?
00:43:05.800 Because he was trying to protect Biden and Yellen.
00:43:09.900 That is the reality.
00:43:10.840 So in 2021 into 22, when it was obvious to everyone who watches financial markets, to even people who even have a cursory knowledge of the bond markets, of interest rates, of commodities, that inflation was really heating up.
00:43:23.520 Did he start to fight it? No. Why? Because he's a brazen partisan and he wanted to protect Joe Biden and his friend Janet Yellen, who, by the way, might be one of the worst senior Fed officials slash fiscal side treasury officials in all of U.S. history.
00:43:38.620 So she would compete with him over this WOT title, worst of all time, in those key roles.
00:43:44.620 But all of them, Biden, Yellen, and Powell, all of them lied through their teeth and said that inflation was transitory.
00:43:53.360 And there's no way Jay Powell, now he has little talent and he's not smart, but there's no way that he believed what he was telling us.
00:44:00.400 And it matters. It's one of the reasons why credibility of the Fed has crashed.
00:44:04.240 Hang on just one second. I'm going to hold you through the breath.
00:44:06.180 We're testing the other side.
00:44:08.620 If you're 65 or already on Medicare, listen up, folks, and grab a pen, maybe even a number

00:45:46.700 war room do it today war room here's your host steven k band okay cortez it just hit me
00:45:55.660 The 30-year is hit 5.3.
00:45:58.980 Is that correct?
00:45:59.520 Bowling sent me this a little while ago.
00:46:00.780 Is that a correct number, sir?
00:46:02.560 30-year, 5.12, I shall.
00:46:05.420 5.12.
00:46:06.420 5.12.
00:46:06.840 And that's the highest since when?
00:46:10.120 Since George W. Bush was president for the 30-year.
00:46:14.100 And the 10-year, which I have definitively, the 10-year right now,
00:46:17.760 I've been saying on your show for a long time that I thought 4.5 was a really,
00:46:21.340 really important level.
00:46:22.060 We can't get north of 4.5.
00:46:25.000 Well, we are now at 4.59, so we're almost at 4.6.
00:46:28.900 And that is really, really dangerous.
00:46:31.820 Frankly, pretty scary as far as I'm concerned.
00:46:34.240 So new highs in yield for the move, meaning bond prices get hammered.
00:46:38.580 Investors are selling bonds.
00:46:39.840 When the price goes down, the yield goes up, meaning that the lenders to the United States
00:46:45.880 are saying, we demand more because you are not a good creditor right now.
00:46:50.240 You're not a good borrower.
00:46:51.680 You're $39 trillion in debt.
00:46:52.960 You're engaging in an incredibly expensive war.
00:46:55.240 You have a massive levered bet on AI.
00:46:57.700 We want more compensation to loan you money.
00:47:00.980 We're now basically at 4.6.
00:47:03.300 If that gets to 5.0, we are in a world of hurt.
00:47:07.580 We had a weak 30-year auction the other day.
00:47:09.900 Let's be honest.
00:47:10.560 Look, the business model right now is a highly leveraged bet on artificial intelligence, full stop.
00:47:16.880 What we're going to do is you're going to come back Monday. 0.95
00:47:18.920 I want to do this because this is his last day, is do the full Monty on the carnage left behind by J-PAL, right? 0.98
00:47:27.700 And we'll get all the numbers up to date and do it all. 0.98
00:47:30.220 Cortez, where do people get you in the interim?
00:47:32.640 Yeah, please go to Cortez Steve on Twitter, X, at C-O-R-T-E-S, Steve, and also CortezInvestigates.com.
00:47:39.820 All my videos, all my articles, including my new one, skewering Mike Pence, who thinks he's the lifeguard of conservatives.
00:47:46.160 So please take a look at that.
00:47:47.180 that's genius we'll talk about that to a monday cortez thank you have a good weekend sir boxing

00:48:16.260 I just wanted to show you here at the new factory, we have rows and rows, 28 aisles like this for these guys.
00:48:23.320 We got everything moved.
00:48:25.080 We have production down at that end.
00:48:27.600 We tested this early.
00:48:29.120 Hold it, hold it.
00:48:29.680 Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:48:31.540 Hang on.
00:48:31.860 I thought you were going out of business.
00:48:33.220 This thing looks massive.
00:48:34.420 You look better than Walmart.
00:48:35.640 No, what is happening here?
00:48:36.760 They told me you're going out of business.
00:48:38.920 Mike Lindell's bankrupt.
00:48:40.260 You're broke.
00:48:40.860 You can't get product.
00:48:41.800 You can't, nobody give you a product.
00:48:43.440 This thing looks magnificent, sir.
00:48:45.020 It is huge. And it is so awesome. My employees were able to get moved in here. They did all this. They built all the racking, everything we did ourselves. And we're not going anywhere. We're still standing. And I'll tell you, Steve, they just keep that MyPill is the most attacked company in history. There's no company even close. Operation Arctic Frost, we found out that our own government came at us in 2022, 23 and 24.
00:49:13.120 But I was interviewed here in Minnesota as running for governor.
00:49:17.320 And they said, first thing, well, isn't MyPillow bankrupt?
00:49:20.260 They said, who told you that? 0.98
00:49:21.460 You're a horrible journalist. 0.98
00:49:22.560 And this was on CBS. 0.93
00:49:25.000 And then they said, Mike, but they just kept asking me questions that weren't true.
00:49:29.880 And now, Steve, they're banning me as running for governor.
00:49:33.760 I don't get to talk in the debates that go all around Minnesota next week because I won't
00:49:39.060 honor the endorsement.
00:49:40.500 Because right now, I'm polling number one with the Republicans of Minnesota.
00:49:45.240 So it's just a continuous attack.
00:49:47.760 They don't want somebody in business.
00:49:50.080 Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:49:51.980 You've been winning all the straw polls, right?
00:49:55.480 You're up in the polls.
00:49:57.220 You're winning all the debates.
00:50:01.100 You're saying you're not going to debate.
00:50:02.060 Because let me give you some guidance here.
00:50:03.920 The company looks like it's running better than ever now that you're out running for governor.
00:50:07.400 your son and the team behind. They say, no, no, dad, go do the debates. We're going to build.
00:50:14.860 I mean, this thing's the Taj Mahal. What's it about this endorsement, this kind of
00:50:20.980 conference endorsement? What's going on? Why are you not out there?
00:50:24.320 This is the GOP endorsement, which we get here in a week, a week and a half,
00:50:30.520 end of May, and then our primary is in August. But we did a poll. Many polls have come out
00:50:37.080 with the people and i'm pulling number one and in a lot of these straw polls but since i won't
00:50:43.260 honor the endorsement means that um that what they want you to do is you honor the endorsement
00:50:47.740 and i would quit running if they pick someone else these delegates pick someone else and i'm
00:50:52.480 not going to do that i went through that when i ran for rnc chair and i doubled ronna mcdaniel
00:50:57.340 and harmy dylan the night before in a national poll they we have one shot to win this and it's uh
00:51:03.780 and it's with me going all the way to the primary and winning the primary
00:51:06.760 and then beating Amy Klobuchar and the general.
00:51:09.600 We've got an amazing plan.
00:51:11.020 We split Minnesota into 67 Senate districts, teams in every district.
00:51:16.720 We're putting out 26,000 signs.
00:51:20.120 One thing I do, Steve, I know a little marketing.
00:51:22.700 So as you see, they've done great here at my pillow.
00:51:27.240 Hang on.
00:51:27.800 Now that I see how big this thing is, we want some deals.
00:51:30.760 We're in posse's blowing up right now.
00:51:32.300 give us a deal of a lifetime. I want when deals collide. Give us that.
00:51:36.660 Okay. Here's what we're going to do today there. It's our factory sale,
00:51:40.840 but we're also doing our Memorial day mattress sale.
00:51:44.380 These are four specials that are colliding, four deals colliding.

00:51:57.560 best mattresses and mattress toppers you will ever sleep on.
00:52:01.140 Some of them as low as $2.99, and then also if you go to mypillow.com forward slash war room, now you're going to see deals that collide.
00:52:10.760 Our factory outlet sale we're having there with all the clothing, we're closing out the clothing line.
00:52:15.740 In fact, we have another semi that was full of that.
00:52:18.340 We didn't realize, you guys, that's discounted down to as low as $9 for a set of pajamas.
00:52:23.540 I mean, we're closing out that whole line.
00:52:25.920 Then you have the mega sale you see in the middle there where the MyPillows are $14.98, the second annual mega sale.
00:52:34.040 So that's colliding.
00:52:35.420 You've got the slippers.
00:52:37.420 You've got the slippers.
00:52:38.300 We still have some of them left.

00:53:47.100 everyone's focused on how the conflict in the middle east is raising oil prices but there's
00:53:53.280 another grim reality to this contention oil isn't the only resource being constrained about one
00:54:00.300 third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region and with spring planting season on
00:54:06.420 top of us american farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their
00:54:11.500 fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next. Higher
00:54:17.400 food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food
