00:00:00.000 This is what you're fighting for.
00:00:14.760 I mean, every day you're out there.
00:00:17.480 What they're doing is blowing people off.
00:00:20.940 If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:23.600 then the oppressors, the authoritarians,
00:00:26.160 get total control and total power.
00:00:27.800 Because this is just like in Arizona.
00:00:30.760 This is just like in Georgia.
00:00:31.960 It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:34.780 and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
00:00:37.040 This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:39.320 As we've told you, this is the fight.
00:00:41.220 All this nonsense, all this spin,
00:00:43.420 they can't handle the truth.
00:00:45.140 War Room, Battleground.
00:00:46.940 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:50.100 This is because basically this is him trying to explain a policy
00:00:53.220 that at its core is a paradox.
00:00:55.200 Both addressing financial stability,
00:00:57.500 allowing some sort of easing,
00:00:59.400 unwinding of positions that are untenable in the current regime,
00:01:02.700 while also fighting inflation,
00:01:04.660 using very similar types of tools in terms of raising rates.
00:01:08.060 It is mind-spinning.
00:01:09.260 I can see why they're very,
00:01:10.540 very sensitive about the concept of fiscal dominance right now.
00:01:14.220 I can see why they are.
00:01:15.100 Almost immediately, the questions were asked at the Bank of England.
00:01:17.480 Will they accommodate what this government is going to do?
00:01:20.020 And when they first came up with the guilt market operation,
00:01:23.100 they were accused of just that,
00:01:24.920 pandering, accommodating what fiscal policymakers had decided to do.
00:01:28.960 So I think it's really, really difficult for them to do now.
00:01:31.560 And I think that's why we're seeing the kind of language,
00:01:33.920 the approach that we've seen from Governor Bailey.
00:01:35.580 That's my guess.
00:01:36.360 I can't get inside his head.
00:01:37.940 The sense I get from him and the way he spoke yesterday
00:01:40.180 just sounded like a man who was very,
00:01:42.180 very sensitive to the idea
00:01:43.420 that they might be contributing to so-called fiscal dominance.
00:01:46.260 There is an argument that for decades,
00:01:48.220 central banks helped offset a lack of action from fiscal policymakers,
00:01:52.600 a lack of action from Washington, D.C.
00:01:54.480 For a decade.
00:01:54.980 Of the parliament.
00:01:56.040 And this is a question now of,
00:01:58.320 can the central banks pull back
00:02:00.200 and stop giving the fiscal policymakers a pass
00:02:03.220 and risk financial instability
00:02:05.300 and risk perhaps disrupting things to such an extent
00:02:08.680 that imperils the basic functionings of a capitalistic society?
00:02:12.840 And this is going to become an increasing debate
00:02:15.520 in the months to come.
00:02:16.280 There's something else that's going on here.
00:02:17.860 I have just been to Buckingham Palace
00:02:20.160 and accepted His Majesty the King's invitation
00:02:23.840 to form a government in his name.
00:02:28.360 It is only right to explain why I'm standing here
00:02:33.080 as your new prime minister.
00:02:35.180 Right now, our country is facing a profound economic crisis.
00:02:44.960 The aftermath of COVID still lingers.
00:02:48.940 Putin's war in Ukraine has destabilised energy markets
00:02:53.320 and supply chains the world over.
00:02:56.360 I want to pay tribute to my predecessor, Liz Truss.
00:03:02.320 She was not wrong to want to improve growth in this country.
00:03:07.940 It is a noble aim.
00:03:11.240 And I admired her restlessness to create change.
00:03:15.580 But some mistakes were made.
00:03:21.000 Not born of ill will or bad intentions.
00:03:25.600 Quite the opposite, in fact.
00:03:28.180 But mistakes nonetheless.
00:03:32.160 And I have been elected as leader of my party
00:03:35.500 and your prime minister, in part, to fix them.
00:03:40.820 And that work begins immediately.
00:03:48.120 Okay, welcome.
00:03:49.020 It's Tuesday, 25 October, in the year of our Lord, 2022.
00:03:52.700 Let me tell you, setting the entire framework,
00:03:55.880 you've got these big debates tonight in Pennsylvania
00:03:58.840 and in Michigan and New York,
00:04:00.920 these huge industrial states in the Midwest and the Northeast.
00:04:06.460 But the framework of what we've got is an economic,
00:04:09.940 a global economic and financial crisis.
00:04:12.420 And some people are being straight with people
00:04:14.040 and other people are not.
00:04:15.640 Right there, you saw Julie Abramowitz.
00:04:17.860 I keep saying that's the most important
00:04:19.360 two minutes in all television this year,
00:04:22.400 where somebody finally spoke the truth
00:04:24.800 about this thing called physical domination,
00:04:27.020 where you've had decades of these politicians.
00:04:32.100 And remember, it's the Conservative Party
00:04:34.500 just got turfed out there by the capital markets,
00:04:36.600 really the hedge funds.
00:04:38.660 You've had this fiscal domination,
00:04:40.480 this irresponsible spending, spending, spending,
00:04:42.940 and you've had the central banks
00:04:44.300 that have worked in unison to support it.
00:04:46.020 And now the due bill is here
00:04:48.280 and the people throughout the world,
00:04:50.240 particularly the people that didn't participate,
00:04:53.000 that didn't participate in the rise of the assets
00:04:56.520 because you're not the dominant class.
00:05:00.300 You're not the ruling class.
00:05:01.780 You were left out of that.
00:05:02.820 Well, guess what?
00:05:03.300 You're going to end up paying for this.
00:05:04.300 I want to go to Ed Dowd,
00:05:05.900 one of the smartest guys,
00:05:07.060 a former portfolio manager
00:05:09.000 and one of the biggest asset managers in the world,
00:05:11.700 a very smart guy,
00:05:13.460 has been doing tremendous work
00:05:15.060 about the vaccine,
00:05:16.820 about the COVID lockdowns,
00:05:19.040 about mortality rates.
00:05:20.280 He's really gotten into the numbers
00:05:21.620 because he can understand
00:05:22.520 how Wall Street will respond to all this
00:05:24.960 with pension funds,
00:05:26.460 with the insurance companies, all of it.
00:05:28.740 But Ed, you've got a fairly grim outlook
00:05:31.280 outlook on the global economy.
00:05:33.260 I wanted to bring you in
00:05:34.080 because tonight's debates in,
00:05:37.180 and we had it all day long in MSNBC,
00:05:39.340 you know, they've got reporters over and say,
00:05:41.380 well, how is the democracy plan?
00:05:43.460 Nobody's talking about it.
00:05:44.200 How is abortion plan?
00:05:45.160 They're really not talking about it.
00:05:46.620 They're talking about kitchen table issues
00:05:48.300 of inflation, the economy,
00:05:50.660 and now people are starting to worry about
00:05:52.440 are their jobs going to be there.
00:05:54.260 So Ed, walk me through your assessment of,
00:05:57.200 and you just saw Sunak,
00:05:58.820 the new prime minister,
00:06:00.380 who is stepping into the middle of a firestorm
00:06:03.060 in the United Kingdom.
00:06:04.460 But I keep using this as an example
00:06:06.360 to Republican politicians.
00:06:08.600 You're one or two moves away
00:06:11.160 that are not thought through
00:06:12.400 and not backed up by mathematics
00:06:14.640 and understanding what reality is
00:06:16.920 to being, to leading your party
00:06:19.200 to get absolutely crushed.
00:06:20.940 Ed Dowd, your assessment.
00:06:23.280 Well, the cold open was very telling,
00:06:27.580 and I liked what she said about central banks
00:06:31.100 basically propping up the fiscal side
00:06:33.600 of the equation for the last 12 years.
00:06:35.900 And there's been unprecedented coordination
00:06:38.460 between central banks.
00:06:40.240 And now the bills come due,
00:06:42.240 and what you saw in the UK several weeks ago
00:06:44.080 with their pension fund crisis
00:06:45.380 is the beginning of every man for himself.
00:06:48.200 That's going to lead to currency wars,
00:06:49.720 which we're already seeing,
00:06:50.980 the strength of the dollar being,
00:06:52.460 you know, the cleanest sheet,
00:06:54.420 or the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry.
00:06:56.760 And so the coordination is over.
00:07:00.020 And now we're going to see
00:07:01.120 what usually happens in these types of things
00:07:03.340 is kinetic action at some point.
00:07:05.520 But let's just go back
00:07:06.580 to the great financial crisis.
00:07:08.920 Ever since the financial crisis,
00:07:12.340 the central banks working in conjunction
00:07:13.860 with the governments have basically created
00:07:15.840 a zombie economy globally.
00:07:18.140 And those who got wealthy
00:07:19.640 were those who were closest to the printing machine.
00:07:24.300 C-suite executives, hedge fund managers,
00:07:27.860 asset managers, real estate developers.
00:07:30.420 But if you were in the real economy
00:07:32.000 doing real things,
00:07:33.140 you've been falling behind for the last 12 years.
00:07:36.120 And that's why the populist national movement
00:07:38.020 has been rising.
00:07:39.240 There's been a game afoot,
00:07:41.300 and the game is coming to an end.
00:07:43.860 And all you need to understand
00:07:45.760 to see what's going on
00:07:46.720 is the central bankers and politicians
00:07:48.240 will use every excuse to blame
00:07:50.300 what's going to come on that
00:07:53.300 rather than themselves.
00:07:54.360 And the blame lies at their feet.
00:07:55.900 Bottom line.
00:07:56.460 When you say blame,
00:07:59.920 what do you anticipate?
00:08:01.060 Let's take the lab experiment right now.
00:08:04.460 The Petri dish is the United Kingdom
00:08:06.320 because that's the United States.
00:08:07.660 Now, look, we have very different economic,
00:08:10.920 obviously, firepower and strength
00:08:13.420 and size and scale.
00:08:14.800 But they've gone to this kind of radical
00:08:18.340 net zero carbon energy policy
00:08:20.920 that's shutting themselves off.
00:08:22.140 They've had declining productivity
00:08:24.560 and really GDP, I guess, per capita
00:08:26.660 for decades and decades and decades
00:08:28.600 as their elites look the other way.
00:08:30.840 Now they try to come in
00:08:31.940 and go back to the Thatcher playbook
00:08:33.640 of tax cuts and deregulation
00:08:35.320 when they're running these massive budget deficits,
00:08:38.380 not just from COVID.
00:08:39.420 Everybody tries to blame it on COVID.
00:08:41.520 COVID's part of it,
00:08:42.420 but they just have a nanny state
00:08:45.420 that's in everywhere.
00:08:47.020 They're just too overextended
00:08:48.280 and they don't have the tax revenue
00:08:49.680 or the tax base to support their spending.
00:08:53.380 So them as an example,
00:08:55.460 how do you look at them
00:08:56.880 and how do you extrapolate that out
00:08:58.400 to the United States,
00:08:59.280 which is all the articles now
00:09:01.720 in The Hill, in Politico,
00:09:05.380 are talking about the debt ceiling,
00:09:06.880 the big fight that's going to come
00:09:08.100 after the Democrats get turfed out
00:09:10.180 over the debt ceiling.
00:09:11.460 Ed Dowd.
00:09:12.820 Well, the problem that the UK has
00:09:15.380 is the problem that we have,
00:09:16.600 but it's going to come to us last.
00:09:18.660 They have a debt problem.
00:09:21.740 That debt problem is insolvency at some point.
00:09:25.320 So what people don't seem to understand
00:09:27.140 and most of the world doesn't understand
00:09:28.660 is that the social contract has been broken.
00:09:30.600 So all those pensions that need to be paid,
00:09:33.860 they'll get paid either they default on the pensions
00:09:37.140 or they inflate the pensions away,
00:09:39.780 meaning you get paid your fixed payment,
00:09:43.280 but it's worthless because inflation is so high.
00:09:45.960 And what we saw a couple of weeks ago
00:09:48.460 was what's been the low interest rate policy
00:09:52.380 for the last 12 years come home to roost.
00:09:54.320 These pensions needed to meet their obligations,
00:09:56.740 so they used leverage and juicing of returns
00:10:00.600 to get the return goal they needed.
00:10:02.900 And that's now,
00:10:04.360 there's a giant margin call going on
00:10:06.680 because they didn't ever expect
00:10:08.220 that this would be occurring.
00:10:09.740 And so that's why the UK had to pull a 180.
00:10:12.200 They bailed out their pension funds, basically.
00:10:14.720 And, you know, that's going to start happening globally.
00:10:17.580 And it's just all going to come unwound
00:10:19.360 in a either slow or fast fashion.
00:10:22.060 And the happy talk on the economy
00:10:24.120 we're going to see this Friday
00:10:25.280 with a GDP number around two plus percent
00:10:28.300 is all garbage.
00:10:29.600 I'm looking at Q1 and Q2.
00:10:31.300 It's going to be a disaster in the US,
00:10:33.560 minus two to 3%, quarter over quarter,
00:10:35.720 with Q2 as the trough.
00:10:37.680 So it's coming here in a minor way.
00:10:40.580 And this is going to unfold over,
00:10:42.200 you know, the next five to 10 years.
00:10:43.800 But it's not good.
00:10:47.580 Oh, you're anticipating
00:10:49.040 there's going to be a big positive,
00:10:51.100 a positive print on GDP.
00:10:53.560 It's not going to be the negative.
00:10:54.500 It's not going to be three quarters in a row negative.
00:10:57.620 No.
00:10:58.260 So it's going to be two plus percent.
00:11:01.460 But that's due to the strong dollar
00:11:03.080 and foreign investment.
00:11:04.220 Consumption is going to be not a big part of that.
00:11:07.460 But looking forward, and that's what we do,
00:11:10.620 Q1 and Q2 are going to be a disaster.
00:11:12.440 And right now, Goldman Sachs will use them
00:11:15.500 as the typical economist
00:11:17.100 is looking at plus one to two percent
00:11:18.700 in Q1 and Q2.
00:11:20.240 The problem here is this.
00:11:21.820 The cake has already been baked.
00:11:23.460 What do I mean by that?
00:11:24.940 The Fed has tightened
00:11:26.200 interest rates considerably.
00:11:29.000 And the Goldman Sachs financial conditions index
00:11:31.140 is up 400 basis points on the year.
00:11:33.740 Every 90 basis points of tightening
00:11:36.040 in the financial conditions
00:11:37.560 is a one to two percent hit to GDP
00:11:41.220 four quarters forward.
00:11:43.020 So that bill is coming due Q1, Q2.
00:11:46.000 It's baked into the cake.
00:11:47.280 There's nothing we can do to avoid it.
00:11:49.180 We're seeing housing starting to roll over.
00:11:52.080 The real economy is a disaster.
00:11:53.940 And there may be a stock market rally
00:11:55.680 because the Fed tried to play some games on Friday.
00:11:58.860 Some of the progressive elements of the Fed
00:12:00.660 to help the Biden administration leaked out on Friday
00:12:03.440 that they're going to do 75 in November
00:12:05.620 and then maybe 50 in December
00:12:07.800 to signal that maybe this is the end
00:12:09.720 of the rate hike cycle.
00:12:10.840 But that gave the markets a little euphoria.
00:12:14.560 So we may see a rally here into the elections
00:12:16.960 because they're doing everything in their power
00:12:18.400 to hold this thing up into the elections.
00:12:20.620 The Bank of Japan on Friday
00:12:22.060 had to come in and do a huge,
00:12:24.080 massive currency intervention,
00:12:26.060 primarily because they're pegged at 25 basis points.
00:12:29.480 And if that peg is lost,
00:12:31.640 bond markets around the world are going to implode.
00:12:35.100 So that's a precarious situation
00:12:36.760 that hedge funds are following.
00:12:38.040 So I suspect it's going to, you know,
00:12:40.700 they're going to try to keep this thing together
00:12:42.180 with, you know, gum and tinfoil and glue
00:12:46.820 and put on a pretty picture before the elections.
00:12:49.540 After that, the real economy will come home to roost
00:12:52.120 and earnings are going to implode
00:12:53.360 next first half of the year.
00:12:57.200 Ed, before I lose you,
00:12:59.400 talk to me about any updates on your,
00:13:01.640 on your studies.
00:13:02.400 Now you get the book coming out
00:13:03.260 on the mortality issue.
00:13:05.260 You've been at the leading thing
00:13:06.180 that something's not right here.
00:13:08.220 Fauci is back on TV this house.
00:13:10.000 They're rolling him back out to push hard,
00:13:13.180 not just the new boosters.
00:13:15.060 And, you know, Biden got his today
00:13:16.820 to push the vax
00:13:18.140 because nobody's really taken the new booster.
00:13:20.460 To also talk about,
00:13:21.580 I think there's a triple threat now coming.
00:13:23.440 They think, you know, COVID,
00:13:25.180 they've got a respiratory disease
00:13:27.060 and the flu are all going to come.
00:13:29.340 And they're trying to pitch this now
00:13:30.680 in the, you know,
00:13:33.060 as fear porn prior to the election.
00:13:35.580 Any updates from you
00:13:36.740 on the mortality situation?
00:13:38.120 So it's running around 10 to 20% globally.
00:13:42.400 We expect it to increase
00:13:43.900 into the flu season
00:13:45.660 as immunity systems are weakened.
00:13:47.680 So excess mortality,
00:13:48.620 we're expecting to rise
00:13:49.900 into this fourth and first quarter.
00:13:54.160 Additionally, as far as I'm concerned,
00:13:56.640 when the book comes out,
00:13:57.520 we'll show it.
00:13:58.180 Basically, it was detrimental
00:13:59.360 to your health to be employed
00:14:00.780 in 2021 and 2022,
00:14:03.080 primarily because of vaccine mandates.
00:14:04.920 A generally much healthier population
00:14:07.700 historically experienced higher mortality
00:14:10.800 than the general overall population
00:14:12.520 and disability like I've never seen before.
00:14:16.140 The working age folks experienced,
00:14:19.760 or not working age,
00:14:20.880 actual employed people,
00:14:22.440 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
00:14:24.440 experienced an increase
00:14:25.680 in their disability rate of 25%
00:14:27.600 versus, you know,
00:14:28.920 8% for the overall U.S. population.
00:14:31.240 So the case has been made.
00:14:33.940 These vaccines need to be pulled.
00:14:36.180 The question now is
00:14:37.160 to get this information out.
00:14:38.500 So that's one thing.
00:14:40.020 The second thing is
00:14:40.720 my partners in my hedge fund
00:14:43.180 are putting on a website
00:14:44.340 all this data.
00:14:45.880 It's going to be free to the world.
00:14:47.460 We're creating the Humanity Project
00:14:49.240 and the Vaccine Damage Project.
00:14:51.520 This is just data-driven.
00:14:53.280 We're going to try to keep our opinions
00:14:54.600 to a minimum
00:14:55.140 and people can grab the data
00:14:56.360 and see for themselves
00:14:57.180 what a disaster this has been globally
00:14:59.020 in Europe, the U.S.
00:15:00.900 We do an extensive study
00:15:02.520 and the Eurostat data,
00:15:03.640 the U.K. data,
00:15:04.400 and the U.S. data.
00:15:05.300 So it'll be there for all to see.
00:15:07.160 And the bottom line is this.
00:15:08.760 In 2021 and 2022,
00:15:11.580 if you were a working age,
00:15:13.520 your excess mortality
00:15:14.760 was above that of 2020.
00:15:17.320 And it shouldn't have been.
00:15:19.380 It just shouldn't have been.
00:15:22.340 What's the timing on the launch here?
00:15:23.860 Because I know our audience
00:15:24.820 would want to be all over it.
00:15:25.740 What's the timing on the launch
00:15:26.780 of the websites?
00:15:28.780 We hope to have...
00:15:31.840 Well, they're going to be in the book.
00:15:33.460 The links are going to be in the book.
00:15:34.940 The book is due out December 10th.
00:15:36.620 Hopefully, fingers crossed.
00:15:38.100 We've got supply chain issues
00:15:39.580 and whatnot.
00:15:40.400 But we hope to go live
00:15:42.660 on that in the next week or two.
00:15:44.340 And then I can come back on
00:15:45.380 and talk about that.
00:15:47.620 Perfect.
00:15:48.060 The book is Cause Unknown,
00:15:49.380 The Epidemic of Sudden Death
00:15:50.540 in 21 and 2022.
00:15:52.700 And we're racing against time
00:15:55.060 to get it out as quickly as possible
00:15:56.460 because we want to basically change
00:15:58.860 the frame of the debate.
00:16:00.540 And the frame of the debate is this.
00:16:01.900 Who cares why it happened
00:16:03.200 or who did it?
00:16:04.300 It's happened.
00:16:05.620 And the data that we have,
00:16:07.520 clearly the global governments
00:16:08.680 have as well.
00:16:09.900 But they don't seem to be
00:16:10.760 doing anything about it.
00:16:11.700 So at this point,
00:16:12.460 there is a cover-up
00:16:13.320 and a crime and negligence.
00:16:15.180 And that is beyond a doubt
00:16:17.020 at this point.
00:16:17.600 Ed Dowd,
00:16:20.960 how do people get to your site,
00:16:22.740 your writings,
00:16:23.800 and you on social media?
00:16:26.400 I'm on Getter,
00:16:27.640 at Edward Dowd.
00:16:29.100 And I have a website called
00:16:30.780 they lied,
00:16:32.040 people died dot com.
00:16:34.100 And when the links go live
00:16:36.420 for the vaccine damage project,
00:16:38.900 I'll get those out as well.
00:16:42.380 Yeah, we'll have you back on for that.
00:16:44.740 Ed Dowd,
00:16:45.460 thank you very much
00:16:46.080 for your market analysis
00:16:47.640 and also for all the great work
00:16:49.060 you're doing on excess mortality.
00:16:51.640 Thank you.
00:16:52.220 Take care, Steve.
00:16:54.780 I want to bring in Natalie,
00:16:56.160 our executive editor
00:16:57.440 and the co-host of The Worm.
00:16:59.140 Hey, Natalie,
00:16:59.860 a couple of things.
00:17:00.500 Number one,
00:17:00.820 the independent newspaper
00:17:02.100 not happy
00:17:04.180 with your inaugural interview
00:17:06.900 yesterday
00:17:07.540 where we talked about Fauci,
00:17:09.400 you talked about issues.
00:17:10.880 And I said,
00:17:11.500 hey,
00:17:12.080 these investigations are coming.
00:17:13.520 They have to understand that.
00:17:14.620 And maybe we've brought it out
00:17:16.120 to the wife and the daughter,
00:17:17.280 but definitely to Fauci.
00:17:18.280 They took a huge headline
00:17:20.600 in the independent newspaper.
00:17:22.400 Bannon says,
00:17:23.240 Fauci to be hunted.
00:17:24.560 Fauci family to be hunted.
00:17:26.320 The independents got to,
00:17:27.840 they have to embrace this, Natalie.
00:17:30.340 You agree that
00:17:32.080 that given his performance,
00:17:35.720 that there will be
00:17:36.800 significant and deep
00:17:38.780 and meaningful
00:17:39.500 and fair investigations
00:17:41.200 of Dr. Fauci
00:17:42.560 in the,
00:17:43.240 with the new Congress
00:17:44.080 in the coming year, ma'am?
00:17:46.120 Oh, definitely.
00:17:47.300 And I don't think
00:17:47.980 that we should sell ourselves short
00:17:50.060 by any means
00:17:50.820 in the sense that
00:17:51.760 the more intense
00:17:53.120 and in-depth
00:17:53.900 and unbiased
00:17:54.940 these investigations are,
00:17:56.600 the more information
00:17:57.720 we will actually be able to find
00:17:59.560 because there is such
00:18:00.420 a trove of information,
00:18:02.040 all these roads
00:18:02.700 that lead to the
00:18:03.440 Wuhan Institute of Virology,
00:18:05.140 to the Chinese Communist Party,
00:18:06.760 to gain-of-function research.
00:18:08.220 And if you trace
00:18:08.820 those roads back,
00:18:10.360 the, I would say,
00:18:11.060 kind of sugar daddy
00:18:11.900 of a lot of this research
00:18:12.980 that was going on
00:18:13.980 was Anthony Fauci,
00:18:15.400 of course,
00:18:15.800 given his lead role
00:18:16.740 at the National Institutes
00:18:17.940 of Allergy
00:18:18.520 and Infectious Diseases.
00:18:19.680 It's very, very funny to me
00:18:21.260 that the mainstream media
00:18:22.700 continues to run cover
00:18:24.160 for Anthony Fauci
00:18:25.600 when, in reality,
00:18:26.740 if you look at
00:18:27.300 government databases,
00:18:28.540 you can look at the grants,
00:18:29.640 the millions of dollars
00:18:30.660 that went to the
00:18:31.360 Wuhan Institute of Virology,
00:18:33.400 specifically the bat lady,
00:18:34.980 Shijun Lee,
00:18:36.160 it's indisputable
00:18:37.520 that Anthony Fauci
00:18:38.580 was behind it.
00:18:39.540 So I really don't understand
00:18:41.220 why the mainstream media
00:18:43.100 refuses to report on that,
00:18:44.700 but instead,
00:18:45.640 the only time they say Fauci,
00:18:47.260 nine times out of ten,
00:18:48.180 it's a name like yours or mine
00:18:49.860 attached to it
00:18:50.680 and criticizing
00:18:51.400 how we actually
00:18:52.400 have the strength
00:18:54.040 to go after someone like him,
00:18:55.540 of course,
00:18:55.860 the highest paid public servant
00:18:57.820 who will continue to get
00:18:59.240 about a $300,000 a year payment
00:19:01.880 once he retires
00:19:03.360 and leaves
00:19:03.880 the National Institutes of Health.
00:19:06.040 But again,
00:19:06.900 these investigations
00:19:07.840 really will find
00:19:09.180 substantive information.
00:19:10.920 I will say,
00:19:11.380 a lot of the deep hard work
00:19:13.180 has already been done
00:19:14.360 in terms of the origins
00:19:16.500 of COVID-19
00:19:17.400 and how Fauci
00:19:18.220 played such a critical role
00:19:19.380 in this,
00:19:19.860 but I think with the power
00:19:21.140 of the subpoena,
00:19:23.340 assuming that groups
00:19:24.180 like EcoHealth Alliance
00:19:25.180 actually comply with them,
00:19:26.480 which they haven't,
00:19:27.640 we'll be able to find out
00:19:28.960 a lot more.
00:19:31.660 I'm going to have
00:19:32.280 Dr. Bradley Thayer
00:19:33.160 here in a moment
00:19:33.840 about a new strategy
00:19:35.400 that he believes
00:19:36.420 is very important
00:19:37.220 to confront Xi
00:19:39.060 and even the consolidation
00:19:41.500 of power under Xi,
00:19:43.320 this kind of new edge
00:19:44.300 they're taking.
00:19:44.840 But I want to go back
00:19:45.980 to something you put up today
00:19:46.960 because the very first thing
00:19:48.580 that happened
00:19:49.160 when Sunak
00:19:50.440 stood in front of
00:19:52.040 10 Downing
00:19:53.460 and actually,
00:19:54.320 you know,
00:19:54.700 took the deck
00:19:56.300 and the con
00:19:56.860 from trust,
00:19:58.120 he was talking about
00:19:58.540 the economic crisis
00:19:59.500 they have.
00:20:01.840 The commentator afterwards,
00:20:03.620 talking to the MSNBC correspondent,
00:20:05.840 the first question she had,
00:20:07.180 she said,
00:20:07.580 well,
00:20:07.760 they had this complicated,
00:20:09.200 very complex economic
00:20:10.960 and financial problem
00:20:12.100 and one of it
00:20:13.120 is actually figuring out
00:20:14.700 what they can afford to spend.
00:20:16.600 Do you think this means
00:20:17.820 they're going to have
00:20:18.800 to make tough choices
00:20:19.660 about Ukraine?
00:20:20.700 This is the top of the mind
00:20:21.780 to MSNBC,
00:20:22.720 Ukraine.
00:20:23.520 And the guy said,
00:20:24.560 you know,
00:20:24.760 it's interesting,
00:20:25.600 that's going to be
00:20:26.240 a very tough sell
00:20:27.060 to the British people
00:20:27.980 because they're looking
00:20:28.580 for a cold winter,
00:20:30.020 inflation's out of control,
00:20:31.180 highest in 40 years,
00:20:32.280 their prices are almost
00:20:33.380 11% price increases.
00:20:35.740 He says,
00:20:36.140 that's going to be
00:20:36.880 a tough sell,
00:20:37.620 but in Biden's
00:20:39.380 congratulatory message
00:20:41.040 to him,
00:20:42.100 he says,
00:20:42.680 we're really looking forward
00:20:43.780 to having a partner
00:20:44.660 here with us on Ukraine.
00:20:45.940 Biden actually mentions it
00:20:47.120 in a three line.
00:20:48.360 Thank you.
00:20:49.120 Talk to me about
00:20:49.740 this investigation
00:20:50.580 that you've started,
00:20:51.780 you've got up now
00:20:52.440 on War Room
00:20:53.020 right now as an exclusive
00:20:54.220 about the Ukraine,
00:20:56.160 ma'am.
00:20:57.460 Yeah,
00:20:57.940 people can go
00:20:58.580 to warroom.org
00:20:59.760 to check it out.
00:21:00.780 We have a lot of reports
00:21:01.760 coming out throughout the day,
00:21:02.980 but I think this one
00:21:03.780 is particularly salient
00:21:05.580 with the current news cycle.
00:21:06.760 And really,
00:21:08.040 it's an example
00:21:08.660 of full-blown
00:21:09.560 information warfare
00:21:10.820 coming out of the Democratic Party
00:21:12.640 really on behalf of Ukraine.
00:21:15.100 What you see here
00:21:16.280 is an individual
00:21:17.060 who used to work
00:21:18.060 or actually still works
00:21:19.000 for Blue Star Strategies,
00:21:20.680 which is a Democratic-run
00:21:21.960 consulting firm
00:21:23.200 that reeks,
00:21:24.200 frankly,
00:21:24.520 of corruption,
00:21:25.300 but particularly tied
00:21:27.340 to Hunter Biden
00:21:28.320 and Burisma.
00:21:29.620 Emails from Hunter Biden's
00:21:30.880 hard drive show
00:21:31.640 that he was
00:21:32.140 an instrumental figure
00:21:33.320 in getting Burisma
00:21:35.220 to decide
00:21:35.880 to hire Blue Star Strategies
00:21:37.700 sort of as a PR firm
00:21:39.240 to help it avoid
00:21:40.640 really any meaningful
00:21:42.080 prosecution
00:21:43.000 or just really
00:21:44.100 being looked into
00:21:44.960 for the corruption
00:21:45.740 that it was engaging in.
00:21:47.580 It was actually,
00:21:48.540 Blue Star Strategies
00:21:49.480 actually was under
00:21:50.380 a Department of Justice probe
00:21:52.120 for engaging
00:21:53.040 in illegal lobbying
00:21:53.960 on behalf of Burisma.
00:21:55.160 So Jeffrey Gedman,
00:21:57.180 who was a senior advisor
00:21:58.560 for Blue Star Strategies,
00:22:00.200 was just appointed
00:22:01.240 by Joe Biden
00:22:02.280 as a nominee
00:22:03.660 to serve
00:22:04.420 on the International
00:22:05.500 Media Advisory Board
00:22:08.100 at the U.S. Agency
00:22:09.260 for Global Media.
00:22:10.760 So people may not know
00:22:11.700 what this board is.
00:22:12.760 It's sort of one of those
00:22:13.620 swampy D.C. organizations
00:22:15.320 that you probably
00:22:16.360 haven't heard of,
00:22:17.040 but it actually
00:22:17.580 is a very powerful group
00:22:19.340 in that it is
00:22:20.000 the sole advisory board
00:22:21.340 to the CEO
00:22:22.100 at the U.S. Agency
00:22:23.860 for Global Media,
00:22:24.860 which uses its
00:22:25.620 nearly billion-dollar budget
00:22:27.240 to run programming
00:22:29.040 including Radio Free Asia,
00:22:30.780 Radio Free Europe,
00:22:32.200 and Voice of America,
00:22:33.200 which reaches
00:22:34.220 hundreds of millions
00:22:35.200 of people
00:22:35.680 across the world
00:22:36.480 each day.
00:22:37.920 But what's really interesting
00:22:39.200 is that this individual,
00:22:40.660 again,
00:22:40.940 not only highly compromised
00:22:42.280 when it comes to his ties
00:22:43.400 to Hunter Biden
00:22:44.120 and Blue Star Strategies,
00:22:45.820 but really for decades
00:22:47.060 has been pushing
00:22:47.840 a hardcore pro-Ukraine line
00:22:50.040 in the American press,
00:22:51.660 always since 2010,
00:22:53.160 trying to get
00:22:54.120 the United States
00:22:55.000 to offer military support,
00:22:57.480 financial support,
00:22:58.380 political support
00:22:59.260 to Ukraine,
00:23:00.640 always attacking Russia
00:23:01.820 when he has the opportunity,
00:23:03.380 participating in
00:23:04.280 Ukraine-based forums
00:23:05.640 that are really aimed
00:23:07.060 at kind of boosting
00:23:07.960 Ukraine's international
00:23:09.280 profile and image.
00:23:10.820 So I think this is
00:23:11.700 just a perfect example,
00:23:12.960 not only if people
00:23:13.760 are connected to Hunter Biden
00:23:15.140 getting these political
00:23:16.140 appointments within
00:23:17.000 the Biden regime,
00:23:18.460 but really how I think
00:23:19.780 you're seeing a lot
00:23:20.640 of these institutions
00:23:21.800 be used to put out,
00:23:23.960 I mean,
00:23:24.180 let's call it what it is,
00:23:25.040 I think political propaganda
00:23:26.280 in support of Ukraine.
00:23:28.300 Nancy Pelosi just announced
00:23:29.560 that, you know,
00:23:30.460 she'd vow to give
00:23:31.640 even more money to Ukraine
00:23:32.820 by the end of the year.
00:23:34.300 So I think it shows you
00:23:35.360 where the focus
00:23:36.400 of the White House is
00:23:37.960 and the Democratic Party is,
00:23:39.280 and it's Ukraine.
00:23:40.800 It's not Americans,
00:23:42.060 it's Ukraine.
00:23:43.180 And I think people
00:23:43.780 like Jeffrey Gedman
00:23:44.620 represent how it's
00:23:45.680 always been like that.
00:23:46.600 These globalists
00:23:47.320 have always been
00:23:48.300 looking overseas,
00:23:49.800 trying to find ways
00:23:50.760 to get U.S. taxpayer dollars
00:23:52.480 to help defend the borders
00:23:53.860 of basically every other country
00:23:55.660 except the United States.
00:23:58.680 You know,
00:23:59.260 I noticed on Getter today,
00:24:00.620 I was on my feet
00:24:01.480 and I noticed
00:24:02.000 because I follow you
00:24:03.060 and I noticed
00:24:03.780 how you already
00:24:05.040 linked to the Nancy Pelosi.
00:24:07.520 And this is all about,
00:24:08.580 they're going to get
00:24:09.480 turfed out for a generation.
00:24:11.520 And she's throwing down
00:24:12.700 already in the lame duck.
00:24:14.200 She's got a huge amount
00:24:15.860 of money she wants
00:24:16.540 to make sure
00:24:16.940 they get to Ukraine
00:24:17.740 or give her more.
00:24:18.840 It should be noted
00:24:19.580 by the audience yesterday,
00:24:20.580 the progressives put out
00:24:21.760 for the first time
00:24:22.580 kind of met the war room
00:24:23.760 and saying,
00:24:24.800 hey, we got to get
00:24:26.020 to the negotiating table.
00:24:27.880 We got to stop the gunfire.
00:24:29.180 We got to get,
00:24:29.800 we got to make a deal
00:24:30.800 for everybody.
00:24:31.820 And man,
00:24:32.840 the firestorm
00:24:34.240 in Washington, D.C.
00:24:35.460 about that,
00:24:36.100 the poor progressives
00:24:37.020 never knew what hit them.
00:24:38.740 They tried to walk it back
00:24:40.140 a little bit
00:24:41.040 by putting an addendum
00:24:42.060 to the letter
00:24:42.640 late in the afternoon
00:24:43.480 and that wasn't good enough.
00:24:44.760 And then they withdrew it,
00:24:45.680 I think, this morning
00:24:46.400 because they absolutely
00:24:47.540 got browbeaten
00:24:48.380 and tells you how
00:24:49.080 radioactive this Ukraine thing is.
00:24:51.940 The UK and the rest of Europe
00:24:53.520 are not going to be with us.
00:24:54.320 They don't have the money
00:24:55.080 and it's not that big a priority.
00:24:56.440 They're going to want
00:24:56.900 the United States
00:24:57.480 to step up more and more
00:24:58.520 in the lame duck.
00:24:59.920 This is going to be huge.
00:25:00.780 I've got Dr. Thayer.
00:25:02.320 I'm going to bring him on
00:25:03.220 after the break.
00:25:04.260 But Natalie,
00:25:05.560 I think,
00:25:06.580 and I can say this
00:25:07.640 for someone who spends
00:25:09.160 an enormous amount
00:25:10.620 of time in this area,
00:25:12.120 you are probably
00:25:13.160 the top investigative reporter
00:25:15.320 out there
00:25:15.780 for connecting
00:25:16.380 all the dots
00:25:17.360 of the many different
00:25:18.360 types of influence
00:25:19.940 peddling
00:25:20.320 and influence operations
00:25:22.880 of the Chinese Communist Party
00:25:24.240 in the United States,
00:25:25.920 whether it's
00:25:26.340 the U.S. government,
00:25:27.340 information,
00:25:28.140 colleges,
00:25:28.920 the Confucius Institute,
00:25:29.920 all these.
00:25:31.160 As you see Xi,
00:25:32.120 the rise of Xi,
00:25:32.900 and we'll get to Thayer,
00:25:34.220 just give me,
00:25:35.400 tell the audience,
00:25:36.540 how deep is the influence
00:25:37.940 operation of the Chinese
00:25:39.180 Communist Party
00:25:39.780 in the United States, ma'am?
00:25:42.020 Well, Steve,
00:25:42.860 you could probably
00:25:43.580 have me on your show
00:25:44.940 twice a day
00:25:46.260 for five years
00:25:47.620 for two blocks
00:25:49.200 each show,
00:25:50.040 and I probably
00:25:50.720 wouldn't even scratch
00:25:51.420 the surface
00:25:51.900 of Chinese Communist Party
00:25:53.280 infiltration
00:25:53.960 in the United States.
00:25:55.460 It's very regrettable,
00:25:56.560 but this country
00:25:57.200 is, I mean,
00:25:57.840 radioactive
00:25:59.920 Chinese Communist Party
00:26:01.000 influence,
00:26:02.020 and it's all by design.
00:26:03.260 It goes back
00:26:03.900 to the Chinese Communist Party
00:26:05.240 strategy,
00:26:06.380 really of unrestricted
00:26:07.420 and unconventional warfare
00:26:08.680 where they're really
00:26:09.520 trying to overtake
00:26:10.440 the United States
00:26:11.300 and become
00:26:11.800 the new global hegemon
00:26:13.180 without actually
00:26:14.260 having to fire a shot.
00:26:16.400 You know,
00:26:16.640 infiltrating the United States
00:26:17.900 from within
00:26:18.440 is the most powerful way
00:26:19.780 to do that,
00:26:20.800 and I think the corruption
00:26:21.800 goes all the way
00:26:22.520 to the top.
00:26:23.180 I mean,
00:26:23.320 it was Joe Biden
00:26:24.100 in 2011
00:26:25.400 who wrote
00:26:26.000 an op-ed
00:26:26.460 for the New York Times
00:26:27.680 that said
00:26:28.180 China's rise
00:26:29.200 is in our demise,
00:26:31.040 and I think history
00:26:32.100 in the future, too,
00:26:33.720 will show
00:26:34.060 that that's not the case
00:26:35.220 for most Americans,
00:26:36.260 most Americans,
00:26:38.420 maybe Hunter Biden.
00:26:40.000 Natalie,
00:26:41.460 hang on for a second,
00:26:42.620 Natalie.
00:26:42.880 We're going to take
00:26:43.160 a short commercial break.
00:26:44.080 We're going to bring
00:26:44.500 in Dr. Bradley Thayer
00:26:45.620 to walk us through
00:26:46.560 the new strategy
00:26:47.800 he believes
00:26:48.620 that either
00:26:50.040 the Biden regime
00:26:50.920 or the Republicans
00:26:52.140 are coming
00:26:52.440 to the new Congress.
00:26:53.260 Somebody's got to take
00:26:54.060 a short commercial break.

00:28:36.860 Folks,
00:28:37.400 let me tell you
00:28:37.760 about Salty.

00:28:43.380 like you
00:28:43.960 and me
00:28:44.640 keep a healthy heart.
00:28:45.900 While COVID
00:28:46.600 gets all the headlines,
00:28:47.920 it's important
00:28:48.340 to realize
00:28:48.980 that heart disease
00:28:50.260 kills nearly
00:28:50.920 700,000 Americans
00:28:53.600 every year.
00:28:54.160 Yes,
00:28:54.380 heart disease
00:28:54.800 is the number one
00:28:55.460 killer every year,
00:28:56.960 year in and year out.
00:28:57.980 Heart disease
00:28:58.500 builds over time.

00:29:02.700 all of it
00:29:03.300 affects our heart.
00:29:05.280 A healthy heart

00:29:54.380 Warroom Battleground
00:29:58.940 with Stephen K. Bannon.
00:30:03.980 Natalie Winters
00:30:04.840 and her reporting,
00:30:05.940 her investigations
00:30:06.720 have shown
00:30:07.420 that she's not
00:30:08.240 given to hyperbole.
00:30:09.980 If she doesn't have
00:30:10.700 the receipts,
00:30:11.640 she doesn't say it.
00:30:13.200 Natalie,
00:30:13.480 that may be the most
00:30:14.520 disturbing thing
00:30:16.500 you've ever said
00:30:17.160 on War Room,
00:30:18.620 to say that
00:30:19.520 you could come on
00:30:20.440 every day
00:30:21.560 for two segments
00:30:23.520 every show
00:30:25.380 and in five years,
00:30:27.760 do it for five years
00:30:28.940 and then only
00:30:29.540 scratch the surface.
00:30:30.940 The Chinese Communist Party
00:30:32.480 has,
00:30:33.880 understands that
00:30:35.160 we're their existential threat
00:30:38.360 and they're our
00:30:39.060 existential threat.
00:30:40.120 But they have taken
00:30:41.200 an active program
00:30:42.480 of unrestricted warfare
00:30:44.620 to look at
00:30:45.460 information war,
00:30:47.640 cyber war,
00:30:48.480 economic war
00:30:49.240 and full infiltration
00:30:50.420 to have
00:30:50.820 not just elite,
00:30:52.440 to really have
00:30:53.120 elite capture,
00:30:53.860 I guess is the way you say it.
00:30:54.560 Is there any doubt
00:30:55.060 in your mind
00:30:55.560 as you've done
00:30:56.300 this research
00:30:57.080 over the last couple
00:30:58.420 of years
00:30:58.660 and broken all
00:30:59.220 these stories, ma'am?
00:31:01.580 No, not at all.
00:31:02.720 And I think
00:31:03.180 the scarier part
00:31:04.480 is really
00:31:05.560 the second derivation
00:31:07.060 of elite capture,
00:31:08.320 which to me
00:31:08.940 is the idea
00:31:09.620 of elite merger,
00:31:11.060 which is the concept
00:31:11.980 that American elites,
00:31:13.420 epitomized by Joe Biden,
00:31:15.640 who really have
00:31:16.700 worked closely
00:31:17.580 with the Chinese Communist Party,
00:31:19.220 both publicly
00:31:20.500 and privately,
00:31:21.840 but how they really
00:31:22.520 have kind of
00:31:23.140 taken on the tactics
00:31:24.260 that the Chinese Communist Party
00:31:25.680 uses against their own people,
00:31:27.360 against Americans now.
00:31:29.160 I mean,
00:31:29.740 you know,
00:31:30.000 the three warfares doctrine,
00:31:31.420 which is sort of
00:31:31.960 the guiding principle
00:31:32.860 for a lot of Chinese
00:31:33.940 military actions,
00:31:35.380 they engage
00:31:36.140 in legal warfare,
00:31:38.260 media warfare,
00:31:39.140 and psychological warfare.
00:31:40.600 And I think you see
00:31:41.600 all those three things
00:31:42.980 occurring here
00:31:43.600 in the United States
00:31:44.520 very intensely.
00:31:46.260 I mean,
00:31:46.740 legally,
00:31:47.780 obviously election activists
00:31:49.180 are being,
00:31:49.720 you know,
00:31:50.660 attacked by the
00:31:51.520 Department of Justice.
00:31:52.280 You see political persecution
00:31:53.780 in terms of psychological warfare.
00:31:55.980 Look at COVID-19 lockdowns
00:31:57.680 and these vaccine pressure campaigns
00:31:59.520 and media warfare.
00:32:00.380 I don't think I have to
00:32:01.420 explain that to anyone
00:32:02.740 who watches the clips
00:32:03.760 you play from MSNBC.
00:32:05.600 But I think that's
00:32:06.580 what's really,
00:32:07.240 really scary now.
00:32:08.220 And that's why you see
00:32:09.120 the Biden regime
00:32:10.140 comporting themselves
00:32:11.240 in such a totalitarian manner,
00:32:13.180 because they look up
00:32:14.780 to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:16.760 You know,
00:32:16.960 they get into business
00:32:17.940 with them,
00:32:18.440 not just because it pays
00:32:19.640 to be in business
00:32:20.400 with the Chinese Communist Party,
00:32:22.000 but because they envy
00:32:23.560 the level of power
00:32:25.060 and control
00:32:25.800 that they have
00:32:26.600 over their own people.
00:32:29.320 So, yeah,
00:32:30.280 it's very true
00:32:31.600 that I could come on this show
00:32:32.900 a lot more often
00:32:34.420 and talk about
00:32:34.980 Chinese Communist Party
00:32:36.100 infiltration
00:32:36.880 all the way
00:32:37.920 from kindergarten classrooms,
00:32:39.880 obviously,
00:32:40.480 to colleges,
00:32:41.440 to the assault
00:32:42.080 that they're making now
00:32:42.920 on our farmland
00:32:43.800 and agriculture officials.
00:32:46.040 And it goes all the way
00:32:46.920 to the White House.
00:32:48.600 You know,
00:32:48.800 the Chinese Communist Party
00:32:50.020 knows what they're doing.
00:32:51.260 And unfortunately,
00:32:52.160 our elite ruling class
00:32:53.760 doesn't really have
00:32:54.540 any allegiance
00:32:55.080 to America anymore.
00:32:57.340 I don't think
00:32:57.740 that's an outlandish
00:32:58.740 statement to say.
00:33:00.300 So it's a lot easier
00:33:01.380 for the Chinese Communist Party
00:33:02.620 to get their job done
00:33:03.760 when American elites
00:33:05.120 really don't even
00:33:05.920 believe in America.
00:33:06.960 They think it's an idea
00:33:07.840 as opposed to a country
00:33:08.900 in the first place.
00:33:10.340 So let me bring in
00:33:13.380 Dr. Bradley Thayer
00:33:14.220 with this great piece
00:33:15.080 you have in The Hill,
00:33:15.900 but with Natalie's
00:33:17.340 pretty systematic layout.
00:33:21.400 That was what they did
00:33:22.680 even before
00:33:23.400 Xi's intense
00:33:24.720 concentration of power
00:33:26.120 in the brooming
00:33:26.760 of any kind of opposition.
00:33:28.680 And if you read
00:33:29.520 and read your analysis,
00:33:31.340 they make no bones
00:33:33.900 about the fact
00:33:34.600 that they're at war
00:33:35.200 with us now.
00:33:35.960 If that's ever been hidden,
00:33:37.100 you just have to read
00:33:37.800 these speeches
00:33:38.320 over the 20th Party Congress.
00:33:40.580 So given what
00:33:41.700 Natalie's laid out,
00:33:43.200 it looks like
00:33:43.800 they're winning anyway.
00:33:45.360 Why would they need
00:33:47.360 a more aggressive strategy
00:33:48.520 to really press
00:33:49.280 to a kinetic war
00:33:50.360 away from,
00:33:51.820 you know,
00:33:52.720 irregular warfare,
00:33:54.140 unrestricted warfare,
00:33:55.140 where it looks
00:33:55.680 like they're winning?
00:33:56.480 Why would they press
00:33:57.480 the bet
00:33:57.880 to go all the way
00:33:59.400 to kinetic war
00:34:00.620 or even more aggressive
00:34:01.960 Dr. Thayer?
00:34:03.140 And in your theory,
00:34:04.240 why does Biden
00:34:05.620 need to take
00:34:06.620 a new strategy?
00:34:07.280 Well, Steve,
00:34:09.780 wonderful to be
00:34:10.660 with you again.
00:34:12.440 They don't want
00:34:13.760 to go to the kinetic,
00:34:15.160 to kinetic warfare
00:34:16.860 if they can achieve
00:34:18.820 their aims
00:34:19.360 as they have thus far
00:34:20.700 through non-kinetic means.
00:34:23.940 So that's the first,
00:34:25.580 I think,
00:34:26.420 point to keep in mind.
00:34:28.340 Xi's established himself,
00:34:29.700 as you've noted,
00:34:30.700 of course,
00:34:31.820 this week,
00:34:33.120 in absolute control
00:34:34.760 of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:34:36.200 so he's in control
00:34:37.280 of China.
00:34:39.240 He has economic problems,
00:34:42.020 other problems
00:34:42.860 on the horizon,
00:34:43.780 but he thinks
00:34:45.700 that things are moving
00:34:46.580 his way.
00:34:47.360 And as long
00:34:47.800 as he stays healthy,
00:34:49.340 he's going to be
00:34:50.200 the leader of China.
00:34:52.660 He has,
00:34:54.080 in the speech,
00:34:55.140 of course,
00:34:55.840 that he provided,
00:34:56.980 and as we've seen
00:34:57.820 more recently,
00:34:59.220 targeted,
00:34:59.780 of course,
00:35:00.180 the United States,
00:35:01.960 our allies
00:35:02.740 in the Indo-Pacific,
00:35:04.140 and Taiwan,
00:35:05.460 that he wants
00:35:06.240 to conquer Taiwan
00:35:07.960 and ensure
00:35:08.760 that it is not
00:35:09.600 a state
00:35:10.600 but is absorbed
00:35:11.400 under the Chinese,
00:35:14.140 the control
00:35:14.840 of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:35:16.760 Those are his aims.
00:35:18.140 If he's going to be able
00:35:19.020 to get it
00:35:19.560 non-kinetically,
00:35:21.120 that's obviously,
00:35:22.960 from his perspective,
00:35:24.140 very positively.
00:35:25.960 Taiwan,
00:35:26.660 of course,
00:35:27.460 and his other
00:35:28.300 territorial expansion
00:35:29.800 in the Indo-Pacific
00:35:31.140 should be met
00:35:32.400 with resistance,
00:35:33.900 but that requires leadership.
00:35:36.780 And one of the arguments
00:35:38.080 I was making
00:35:38.840 in the Hill piece
00:35:39.760 is that we need leadership,
00:35:41.840 obviously,
00:35:42.460 on this issue
00:35:43.280 from the Biden administration
00:35:46.000 or from the Republicans
00:35:47.500 or from somebody.
00:35:50.340 Xi's thrown down
00:35:51.140 the gauntlet.
00:35:52.340 He's telling us,
00:35:53.220 as he has,
00:35:55.040 he's telling us explicitly,
00:35:56.500 as explicit
00:35:56.980 as he's ever going to be,
00:35:58.480 that we're his enemy
00:35:59.240 and he's out for us
00:36:01.680 and we need a response
00:36:03.920 to address that
00:36:07.040 from the Biden administration.
00:36:08.480 I want to make sure,
00:36:09.440 hang,
00:36:09.820 I want to make sure
00:36:11.160 that the audience
00:36:12.000 understands this.
00:36:13.700 What in the speech,
00:36:14.540 go back to his speeches
00:36:16.360 over the weekend,
00:36:17.820 pull out in the speech
00:36:18.940 where you say
00:36:19.460 he makes it very clear
00:36:20.640 that we're the existential threat
00:36:22.680 and that we have
00:36:23.900 to be dealt with?
00:36:26.100 He's targeting hegemony.
00:36:28.620 So you'll see,
00:36:29.580 hegemony is a stalking horse
00:36:31.020 for the United States.
00:36:32.540 So you'll see in that speech
00:36:34.120 there are references
00:36:35.440 to the fact
00:36:37.320 that China can't accept
00:36:40.060 hegemony
00:36:42.200 of any other entity
00:36:43.860 in international politics.
00:36:45.940 Second point,
00:36:47.820 he talks about
00:36:48.700 China is now moving
00:36:50.300 towards its second centenary goal,
00:36:53.540 which is a modern socialist country
00:36:55.920 and the rejuvenation
00:36:57.380 of the Chinese nation.
00:36:59.400 That's his claim
00:37:01.480 that China can now run the world,
00:37:03.920 that China has the power
00:37:05.280 as a modern socialist country
00:37:08.260 to set the norms,
00:37:11.500 the principles,
00:37:12.360 the rules of the road
00:37:13.500 for international politics,
00:37:16.320 overturning what the British
00:37:17.760 and the Americans
00:37:18.520 established
00:37:19.120 at the end of World War II
00:37:20.820 and that served us well
00:37:22.260 in the Cold War
00:37:23.120 and after.
00:37:25.260 And then thirdly,
00:37:26.320 explicitly,
00:37:28.040 he's targeting Taiwan.
00:37:29.840 So he's saying
00:37:30.740 that Taiwan,
00:37:32.320 the status quo
00:37:33.400 will not be allowed
00:37:35.080 to be maintained.
00:37:37.820 He's going to change
00:37:38.980 the status quo
00:37:39.900 in Taiwan
00:37:40.680 like Hong Kong,
00:37:42.400 Macau,
00:37:43.540 many other aspects
00:37:45.520 that will fall
00:37:46.140 under the control
00:37:46.920 of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:37:49.220 So here's an,
00:37:49.980 it's rare
00:37:50.820 in international politics
00:37:52.180 where your enemy
00:37:53.040 tells you
00:37:53.820 that he's coming after you
00:37:55.260 explicitly.
00:37:56.740 Stalin did this
00:37:57.620 in February 1946
00:37:59.020 in a very famous speech
00:38:01.340 where he said
00:38:01.960 capitalism and communism
00:38:03.740 can coexist
00:38:04.720 and communism
00:38:06.220 is going to win.
00:38:07.140 well,
00:38:07.780 what we've had
00:38:08.520 with Xi's address
00:38:09.900 to the 20th Party Congress
00:38:11.240 is the equivalent
00:38:12.620 of Stalin's speech.
00:38:14.580 He's telling us
00:38:15.580 that we can't coexist.
00:38:17.340 He's coming after us
00:38:18.720 and what we need
00:38:21.400 is a response,
00:38:22.740 of course,
00:38:23.740 to this.
00:38:24.320 We need leadership
00:38:25.080 to bring about
00:38:27.040 the tremendous strengths
00:38:28.160 that we have
00:38:28.980 as a country,
00:38:30.840 of course,
00:38:31.340 with allies,
00:38:32.220 with allies within China.
00:38:34.420 Of course,
00:38:34.880 the Chinese people
00:38:35.900 who don't want
00:38:37.420 this odious regime,
00:38:39.140 but we need leadership
00:38:40.440 to bring this together
00:38:42.600 and we don't have.
00:38:44.720 So let's assume,
00:38:46.720 let's assume,
00:38:47.440 let's assume
00:38:48.160 for purposes
00:38:49.680 of this discussion,
00:38:51.440 Natalie's correct
00:38:52.300 and the Biden administration
00:38:53.400 is totally corrupt
00:38:54.900 and incompetent.
00:38:57.880 So they won't do it.
00:38:59.620 As,
00:39:00.520 and let's assume
00:39:01.220 that we take
00:39:01.820 the House
00:39:02.220 and the Senate,
00:39:02.980 which I think
00:39:04.020 I don't want to say
00:39:05.300 that we're absolutely
00:39:05.900 going to do it,
00:39:06.440 but it looks like
00:39:06.960 if everybody does
00:39:07.900 their job,
00:39:08.360 we will.
00:39:09.260 What should be the,
00:39:10.120 if the Republicans
00:39:11.400 and particularly guys
00:39:13.140 like Jim Banks
00:39:13.980 and these people
00:39:14.460 that have already
00:39:15.040 promised us
00:39:15.740 that the first committee
00:39:17.240 that's going to be formed
00:39:18.220 is a select committee
00:39:19.160 on the investigations
00:39:20.180 into the influence peddling
00:39:22.240 of,
00:39:23.500 in the influence operations
00:39:24.760 of the Chinese counties
00:39:25.600 fighting in the United States
00:39:26.480 and a lot of that
00:39:27.200 that the audience
00:39:27.880 should understand
00:39:28.340 is coming off
00:39:29.140 of the great work
00:39:30.020 that Natalie Winters
00:39:31.460 has done
00:39:33.100 at National Pulse
00:39:34.540 and on War Room
00:39:35.200 the last couple of years.
00:39:36.800 Let's assume
00:39:37.340 that's correct.
00:39:38.280 What should be the,
00:39:38.980 what should be the Republican,
00:39:40.340 how can the Republican Party
00:39:41.680 drive this
00:39:42.540 and what should be
00:39:43.700 their,
00:39:44.120 their,
00:39:44.980 their objective set
00:39:47.000 in this,
00:39:48.220 in a counter strategy
00:39:49.760 to a now more powerful she?
00:39:53.460 Three things, Steve.
00:39:54.640 First, we need to deter aggression
00:39:56.480 against Taiwan
00:39:57.880 and so that's going to require
00:40:01.180 conventional forces
00:40:03.460 and that's going to require
00:40:04.840 a nuclear force posture
00:40:07.060 in the Indo-Pacific
00:40:08.420 that we don't yet have.
00:40:10.720 So coercing,
00:40:12.180 working with the Biden administration
00:40:14.020 or in some respects
00:40:16.220 working against it,
00:40:17.420 Congress need,
00:40:18.380 purportedly,
00:40:19.440 if the election goes,
00:40:21.140 House goes to Republicans,
00:40:22.360 Senate goes to Republicans,
00:40:23.620 we need to move that
00:40:24.600 secondly,
00:40:25.220 we need a new
00:40:26.100 national security strategy.
00:40:28.120 There's no reason
00:40:28.740 why Congress
00:40:29.360 can't generate that as well.
00:40:30.960 Biden generated
00:40:31.900 and publicly released
00:40:33.020 of course recently
00:40:33.820 the national security strategy
00:40:35.460 and it was
00:40:37.460 not the document
00:40:38.940 you want to have
00:40:40.020 by any stretch
00:40:41.560 of the imagination
00:40:42.280 after Xi's speech.
00:40:44.340 So we need a document
00:40:46.060 that's going to
00:40:47.880 provide a foundation
00:40:49.400 for leadership
00:40:50.240 against Taiwan
00:40:52.840 that declares
00:40:53.720 China,
00:40:54.640 the Communist Party of China
00:40:55.900 to be the enemy
00:40:56.720 of the United States
00:40:57.960 and to lay forth
00:40:59.340 a strategy
00:41:00.060 for its defeat,
00:41:01.280 for the defeat
00:41:01.880 of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:41:04.280 And Congress,
00:41:05.700 Senate,
00:41:06.240 House
00:41:06.600 can do that
00:41:08.480 obviously
00:41:09.880 very,
00:41:10.580 very importantly.
00:41:12.820 Thirdly,
00:41:13.660 Congress,
00:41:14.700 of course,
00:41:15.520 is a co-equal branch
00:41:16.520 of government
00:41:17.060 as we all know,
00:41:18.360 right,
00:41:18.800 they can
00:41:19.540 go to Taiwan,
00:41:21.780 they can advance
00:41:22.560 I think the right policies
00:41:24.640 in the Indo-Pacific,
00:41:26.660 in Taiwan itself.
00:41:28.700 We saw Nancy Pelosi
00:41:30.040 going of course
00:41:30.880 to Taiwan
00:41:31.500 in August
00:41:32.120 of this year.
00:41:34.180 Other speaker,
00:41:35.880 potentially a speaker
00:41:37.180 McCarthy
00:41:37.740 could do the same
00:41:39.260 as well as
00:41:39.700 other congressional leaders
00:41:40.840 to show
00:41:41.940 American commitment
00:41:43.240 to Taiwan.
00:41:45.060 Taiwan is
00:41:45.960 the Berlin,
00:41:46.860 right,
00:41:47.060 it's on the,
00:41:47.860 it's the immediate
00:41:48.900 crisis that we're facing,
00:41:50.600 not the only one,
00:41:51.760 the Indians have problems
00:41:53.040 obviously,
00:41:53.900 there's difficulty,
00:41:54.880 very significant difficulties
00:41:56.500 in the South China Sea
00:41:57.560 and the East China Sea
00:41:59.040 with Japan,
00:42:01.040 but Taiwan
00:42:01.860 is the front line
00:42:03.300 and the United States
00:42:05.780 needs to ensure
00:42:06.800 that there's deterrence
00:42:08.400 there,
00:42:09.600 that Xi Jinping
00:42:10.840 does not decide
00:42:12.320 as he's likely to
00:42:14.100 based on his intent,
00:42:15.400 as he's declared,
00:42:17.040 based also on his health,
00:42:19.360 right,
00:42:19.620 his health may not be
00:42:21.000 certainly the best,
00:42:22.340 no one knows of course
00:42:23.560 how long he's going
00:42:24.300 to be in power,
00:42:26.580 and thirdly,
00:42:27.520 because the Biden
00:42:28.420 administration
00:42:29.080 has been feckless
00:42:30.420 in assisting Taiwan,
00:42:33.440 so he's thinking
00:42:34.260 he's got a window
00:42:35.020 of opportunity,
00:42:36.580 and that has to be closed,
00:42:38.400 that's a very significant
00:42:40.340 vulnerability
00:42:40.880 and danger
00:42:41.500 for the United States,
00:42:42.320 and Congress
00:42:42.840 can do a lot
00:42:43.580 to close that
00:42:45.160 if the Biden
00:42:46.260 administration
00:42:47.080 will not.
00:42:53.100 Dr. Thayer,
00:42:53.860 how do people
00:42:54.380 get to this new article?
00:42:55.640 You've written a series
00:42:56.360 of these coming off
00:42:57.100 to tee up
00:42:58.320 for the 20th Party Congress
00:42:59.600 and then coming off
00:43:00.320 of that,
00:43:00.580 I want to make sure,
00:43:01.640 I know you're over
00:43:02.200 at Epoch Times,
00:43:03.100 you're also at the Hill,
00:43:04.280 where do people go
00:43:05.080 to get all of it?
00:43:05.780 on Getter
00:43:09.660 at Bradley Thayer
00:43:10.520 at Getter
00:43:10.980 or Bradley Thayer
00:43:12.060 on Truth
00:43:12.680 or where I post
00:43:14.940 my articles,
00:43:15.520 of course,
00:43:15.820 or they could see
00:43:16.340 the piece today
00:43:17.520 at thehill.com
00:43:18.920 to look at that.
00:43:21.540 Where can people
00:43:22.100 get the book,
00:43:25.380 your new book
00:43:26.020 about this?
00:43:27.840 Understanding the China Threat,
00:43:29.220 which I co-wrote
00:43:30.060 with Lian Chao Han,
00:43:31.360 it's available
00:43:32.080 at Amazon
00:43:32.660 or at the publishers,
00:43:35.600 Taylor, Francis,
00:43:36.880 Rutledge,
00:43:38.000 all our places
00:43:39.680 to get it.
00:43:40.640 But Steve,
00:43:41.160 we need leadership
00:43:41.860 and if Biden's
00:43:42.900 not providing it,
00:43:43.780 Congress is absolutely
00:43:45.100 going to have to.
00:43:47.060 And we need
00:43:47.760 a strategy.
00:43:48.280 I'm sure Kyle's
00:43:49.000 not going to do it.
00:43:50.640 Yeah.
00:43:50.940 We need a strategy
00:43:51.740 for victory
00:43:52.300 for the defeat
00:43:53.020 of the Chinese
00:43:53.520 Communist Party.
00:43:55.840 We win,
00:43:56.740 they lose.
00:43:58.380 Absolutely.
00:43:58.840 Dr. Thayer,
00:43:59.380 thank you very much.
00:44:00.960 Thank you very much,
00:44:01.880 Steve.
00:44:01.980 Natalie,
00:44:03.100 Natalie,
00:44:04.240 as you know,
00:44:05.020 your reporting
00:44:07.300 is going to be
00:44:07.920 some of the basis
00:44:08.660 for this select committee
00:44:10.780 that's going to be
00:44:11.960 put together
00:44:12.560 at the new Congress.
00:44:13.560 The first one,
00:44:14.120 remember,
00:44:14.380 Banks,
00:44:15.300 who was on here
00:44:16.120 and Banks did
00:44:16.720 the China strategy paper
00:44:18.360 about a year
00:44:19.280 and a half ago.
00:44:20.000 He's a naval officer.
00:44:22.120 He said that,
00:44:23.100 hey,
00:44:23.580 coming out of
00:44:24.380 the commitment
00:44:25.260 to America,
00:44:26.580 you know,
00:44:26.760 kind of people
00:44:27.220 criticize this
00:44:28.060 to generals,
00:44:28.840 it's too not
00:44:29.660 specific enough.
00:44:30.300 The one thing
00:44:31.260 that was specific,
00:44:32.420 they said they're
00:44:32.960 going to form
00:44:33.300 this joint committee
00:44:34.920 and it's a committee
00:44:35.520 on the investigation
00:44:36.400 of the influence
00:44:37.160 of the China,
00:44:38.320 the influence operations
00:44:39.420 of the CCP.
00:44:40.700 Right before I let you go,
00:44:41.720 yesterday,
00:44:42.680 Merrick Garland
00:44:43.260 made this huge deal.
00:44:44.280 He had Ray,
00:44:44.960 he had Monaco up there,
00:44:46.120 he had all of them
00:44:46.700 up there.
00:44:47.680 This is really kind of,
00:44:48.920 I'm not saying
00:44:49.280 it's a misdirection plan,
00:44:50.240 it's fine what they're doing,
00:44:51.180 but it's so mid-level
00:44:52.620 and low-level
00:44:53.380 whether or not
00:44:55.000 there's so much
00:44:55.860 deep corruption
00:44:56.820 by the Chinese Communist Party
00:44:58.080 in this country.
00:44:59.300 Do you think
00:44:59.700 that's just essentially
00:45:00.580 a misdirection plan
00:45:01.480 to get the heat off
00:45:02.200 and to show
00:45:02.580 that they're doing something?
00:45:04.660 Yeah,
00:45:05.100 there's a term
00:45:05.740 that the left
00:45:06.400 likes to use
00:45:07.620 to describe people
00:45:08.660 who they don't think
00:45:09.420 are thoroughly committed
00:45:10.480 enough to their
00:45:11.460 social justice goals
00:45:13.180 and it's performative activism
00:45:14.800 and I think
00:45:15.340 that's exactly
00:45:16.000 what you're seeing
00:45:16.760 from the Biden regime
00:45:17.820 now when it comes
00:45:18.660 to trying to peddle
00:45:19.840 a tough line
00:45:20.500 on the Chinese Communist Party.
00:45:22.020 You aren't considered
00:45:23.320 tough on China
00:45:24.180 if you only go after
00:45:25.580 some of their companies
00:45:26.800 after your son
00:45:27.980 has made money
00:45:28.640 off of them
00:45:29.160 for decades.
00:45:30.300 That's just sort of
00:45:31.280 covering up.
00:45:32.120 It's a misdirection plan
00:45:33.160 and I think
00:45:33.560 it's also really important
00:45:34.640 to note
00:45:35.260 in terms of what we can do
00:45:36.260 to combat this influence.
00:45:38.160 You've said that
00:45:39.120 there's obviously
00:45:39.660 going to be a lot of Democrats
00:45:40.860 and even establishment
00:45:41.620 Republicans
00:45:42.140 who will be losing
00:45:42.920 their seats
00:45:43.460 in these upcoming
00:45:44.160 midterm elections.
00:45:45.640 A lot of those people
00:45:46.540 are prime candidates
00:45:47.520 to become lobbyists
00:45:48.920 for Chinese Communist Party
00:45:50.480 run companies
00:45:51.300 and everything
00:45:52.020 so I think
00:45:54.500 it's important
00:45:55.040 that we have
00:45:55.680 regulations
00:45:56.280 and restrictions
00:45:56.980 in place
00:45:57.740 to prevent
00:45:58.660 these establishment
00:45:59.600 type figures
00:46:00.740 from selling out
00:46:01.820 to our enemies.
00:46:04.940 Perfect.
00:46:05.620 Natalie,
00:46:05.940 how do people
00:46:06.420 follow you
00:46:07.020 on social media now?
00:46:08.860 Where do they go
00:46:09.300 to get you?
00:46:10.660 Natalie G. Winters
00:46:11.900 on Getter
00:46:12.540 and of course
00:46:13.160 go to warroom.org
00:46:14.500 where we're always
00:46:15.100 posting stories
00:46:16.060 in the warroom Getter
00:46:17.180 where we're providing
00:46:18.500 the signal
00:46:19.160 and not the noise.
00:46:20.280 Natalie Winters
00:46:23.440 executive editor
00:46:24.440 of All Things Worm.
00:46:25.560 Thank you very much
00:46:26.140 for joining us, ma'am.
00:46:27.640 Thank you for having me.
00:46:30.500 Those investigations
00:46:31.640 are going to be known
00:46:33.320 as something
00:46:33.880 incredibly important
00:46:34.820 going forward
00:46:35.420 to thwart this
00:46:36.140 what's happening.
00:46:37.020 Let's go.
00:46:37.400 Defenders of the West
00:46:38.300 is one of my favorite books.
00:46:40.260 One of my favorite books
00:46:41.440 of this year.
00:46:42.160 Incredibly written
00:46:42.900 by an incredible guy
00:46:43.960 Raymond Ibrahim.
00:46:45.540 Raymond,
00:46:46.300 I know
00:46:46.980 we've talked about this.
00:46:48.180 We've had some difficulty
00:46:49.480 getting you on.
00:46:50.040 You've been traveling.
00:46:51.400 Walk us through
00:46:52.000 the story
00:46:52.600 that we should be focused on.
00:46:54.080 In here
00:46:54.700 you break down stories
00:46:55.780 of Richard the Lionheart,
00:46:56.900 El Cid.
00:46:57.900 You've got kind of
00:46:58.540 a who's who
00:46:59.200 and actually some people
00:47:00.420 that people in the West
00:47:01.600 don't know that well.
00:47:02.780 But walk us through
00:47:03.380 what you got for us today.
00:47:05.360 Sure, Steve.
00:47:05.940 And thanks for having me on.
00:47:07.300 You know,
00:47:07.600 with what's going on
00:47:08.420 in the world
00:47:08.880 and what you talk about,
00:47:09.920 you know,
00:47:10.120 these stories from the past
00:47:11.680 may seem irrelevant,
00:47:12.520 but I really find them,
00:47:14.540 you know,
00:47:14.760 they live up to
00:47:15.580 what Ecclesiastes
00:47:16.600 in the Bible says,
00:47:17.740 which is nothing new
00:47:18.680 under the sun.
00:47:19.420 You know,
00:47:19.580 what was done before
00:47:20.340 is happening again,
00:47:21.160 as you will see,
00:47:22.480 along with the inspiration
00:47:23.560 that one can draw from them.
00:47:24.620 But the particular story
00:47:26.020 I have for you today
00:47:26.940 deals with the Cid
00:47:28.340 and it actually might
00:47:29.900 strike home for you
00:47:30.820 personally
00:47:31.280 because the Cid,
00:47:33.040 as you know,
00:47:33.420 you know,
00:47:33.800 he was so well,
00:47:35.200 he was the fiercest warrior
00:47:36.260 in Spain
00:47:36.920 that he went by
00:47:37.920 the Arabic
00:47:38.780 El Sayyid.
00:47:40.620 That's where we get Cid,
00:47:41.520 which means the Lord.
00:47:42.520 And he was known
00:47:43.220 by the Spaniards
00:47:44.740 as the Campiador,
00:47:46.020 which means the master
00:47:46.800 of the battlefield.
00:47:47.680 So even his epithets
00:47:49.100 really tell you who he is.
00:47:50.780 But right around 1084,
00:47:52.860 there was a massive jihadist
00:47:54.260 pouring into Spain
00:47:55.500 by what are known
00:47:56.740 as the Al-Murabit Caliphate,
00:47:58.800 who were just hardcore jihadists,
00:48:00.500 just like ISIS,
00:48:01.320 as you'll see.
00:48:02.240 And they destroyed the Spaniards
00:48:03.860 at the Battle of Sagrajas,
00:48:05.780 also in October.
00:48:07.000 And they ended up
00:48:07.820 decapitating 2,400 Christians,
00:48:10.180 building a pyramid.
00:48:11.000 And the Muazzin went up
00:48:12.820 and started calling
00:48:13.520 the jihadists
00:48:14.920 to calls to prayers
00:48:15.880 and just stomping
00:48:17.100 on their heads
00:48:17.680 and so forth.
00:48:18.360 Pretty gruesome stuff,
00:48:19.640 like I said,
00:48:20.140 just like ISIS.
00:48:21.420 And what's interesting
00:48:22.000 is right before that,
00:48:23.340 the king of Spain,
00:48:24.680 Alfonso VI,
00:48:26.200 had actually banished
00:48:27.520 the Sid,
00:48:28.360 who was,
00:48:29.060 you know,
00:48:29.320 who could have actually
00:48:30.160 changed the tide
00:48:30.900 of that battle.
00:48:31.740 And the reason he banished him
00:48:33.060 is because
00:48:33.720 the Sid showed
00:48:35.240 some contempt,
00:48:36.020 actually.
00:48:36.800 When Alfonso VI
00:48:38.220 was being sworn in,
00:48:39.740 actually the Sid
00:48:40.420 was the only one
00:48:41.020 to protest.
00:48:41.780 And he put a Bible
00:48:43.080 in his face
00:48:43.700 and told him to put his hand
00:48:44.600 and swear three times
00:48:45.720 that he did not kill
00:48:46.540 his older brother,
00:48:48.020 Sancho II,
00:48:49.340 which possibly he could have.
00:48:51.020 And, you know,
00:48:51.920 despite that cheat,
00:48:53.020 Alfonso actually did it
00:48:54.340 to sate the Sid.
00:48:55.940 But he carried this anger
00:48:57.380 in his heart.
00:48:58.120 And then once he had
00:48:59.260 a pretext,
00:48:59.740 he actually banished
00:49:00.580 the Sid
00:49:01.340 for that contemptuous
00:49:02.780 display.
00:49:04.440 And that's why
00:49:05.720 he wasn't at the battle.
00:49:06.480 At any rate,
00:49:07.340 then he called him forth
00:49:08.320 after that,
00:49:09.180 you know,
00:49:09.420 the 2,400 decapitation siege.
00:49:12.120 And the Sid
00:49:12.620 just went on a blitzkrieg
00:49:13.900 and just completely
00:49:14.760 devastated all these
00:49:16.080 jihadist gains.
00:49:17.820 Valencia had been taken
00:49:18.960 by the Muslims
00:49:19.980 and he retook it
00:49:21.120 after a 19-month siege.
00:49:22.840 And then that's where
00:49:23.360 this particular battle,
00:49:24.540 which occurred
00:49:24.840 on October 21st,
00:49:26.340 comes in.
00:49:27.100 Something like 50,000
00:49:28.180 more surrounded him.
00:49:29.600 And he only had
00:49:30.160 4,000 knights,
00:49:31.060 his wife and daughters
00:49:32.840 were holed up with him.
00:49:34.320 And in just a wild display,
00:49:35.880 once all the mass,
00:49:37.000 the throng of Muslim
00:49:38.100 jihadists had surrounded him,
00:49:39.880 and even in the text
00:49:40.880 they were screaming,
00:49:41.440 Allah Akbar,
00:49:42.300 he came out
00:49:43.000 in a violent blitzkrieg
00:49:44.260 just so suddenly
00:49:45.140 with all his armed men
00:49:46.360 on top horses
00:49:48.080 and just, you know,
00:49:48.880 two lines
00:49:49.520 that kept blitzkrieging
00:49:50.440 and crisscrossing
00:49:51.760 across the army.
00:49:53.700 The jihadists
00:49:54.140 completely devastated them.
00:49:56.060 And that's why
00:49:56.880 he's still known
00:49:57.500 until this very day.
00:49:58.420 But he did so much
00:49:59.280 more beyond that.
00:50:00.260 But like I said,
00:50:01.700 it's interesting
00:50:02.300 because all these men,
00:50:03.360 not just the Sith,
00:50:04.040 always had internal enemies
00:50:05.960 who continuously
00:50:07.100 and always subverted
00:50:08.220 the fog against them.
00:50:10.460 So like I said,
00:50:11.160 you know,
00:50:11.300 these stories are not,
00:50:12.180 you know,
00:50:12.580 past and present,
00:50:13.640 continuing.
00:50:13.980 They're timeless.
00:50:15.280 Look, this book,
00:50:15.820 this book,
00:50:16.500 you can't put down
00:50:17.160 when you get it.

00:50:18.160 the Defenders of the West?
00:50:19.820 Because it's absolutely
00:50:20.540 magnificent.

00:50:26.080 I would just go online
