Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 237： China's Mockery Of The US

00:00:00.000 This is what you're fighting for. I mean, every day you're out there. What they're doing is

00:00:18.780 blowing people off. If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors,

00:00:25.840 the authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this

00:00:31.580 is just like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their

00:00:36.160 lies and misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you

00:00:40.580 this is the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground

00:00:47.220 here's your host stephen k bannon as i've said since the beginning of my administration

00:00:53.600 We seek competition, not conflict with China.

00:00:57.660 We're not looking for a new Cold War.

00:01:00.180 But I make no apologies, and we will compete.

00:01:06.040 And we'll responsibly manage that competition so that it doesn't veer into conflict.

00:01:11.400 This episode underscores the importance of maintaining open lines of communication

00:01:15.520 between our diplomats and our military professionals.

00:01:18.620 Our diplomats will be engaging further, and I will remain in communication with President Xi.

00:01:25.580 I'm grateful for the work of the last several weeks of our intelligence, diplomatic, and military professionals,

00:01:30.980 who have proved once again to be the most capable in the world.

00:01:35.100 So I'd want to ask a relationship issue.

00:01:37.440 You have the Chinese spy airship that went through.

00:01:39.660 You've got China buying more oil from Russia.

00:01:42.000 You've got China opening up cases in the U.S., trying to steal U.S. technology from universities.

00:01:49.520 The President Xi is going to be meeting with the Iranian president.

00:01:52.440 At what point do you review, a big review, of the U.S. relationship with China?

00:01:57.160 And at what point does the president ask for a call from President Xi?

00:02:01.140 Again, I don't have a call to talk about today.

00:02:04.240 Let me just, again, level set here, and I know I'm running close on time, but sorry.

00:02:09.640 No, it's not here.

00:02:10.180 But the president met with President Xi at Bali, at the G20.

00:02:16.540 The whole purpose of that discussion was to move this relationship forward in a better way.

00:02:21.240 The most consequential bilateral relationship in the world, the president knows that.

00:02:25.240 And he wanted to move that relationship forward in a better way.

00:02:28.600 And Secretary Blinken was dang near wheels up trying to head to Beijing to have those kinds of conversations,

00:02:34.620 To get some of these communication vehicles and venues back on track, whether it's climate change or military to military, we were willing to do that.

00:02:42.460 We were looking forward to doing that. 0.53

00:02:44.440 And then the Chinese decided to fly a surveillance balloon over the continental United States. 0.55

00:02:49.860 And it wouldn't be inappropriate to have that meeting.

00:02:52.920 When are those discussions going to get back on that?

00:02:56.540 These guys were found, as I say, at West Point.

00:02:59.880 This is the outrage that are here.

00:03:02.980 We asked Congressman Matt Rosendale to join us.

00:03:07.200 Congressman, the FT, the Financial Times the other day, the headline is the, you see the Mullah from Persia, the head of Iran's theocracy.

00:03:16.420 He's in Beijing getting a full military review.

00:03:20.680 He's getting the treatment of an ally because he is an ally.

00:03:24.560 And while he was there, he invited Xi to Tehran for a full state visit.

00:03:29.020 the she's going because this is the this is the reality of the war you see biden they were going

00:03:34.340 to compete they're at war with us and over the skies of montana this is why it's so important

00:03:39.380 and this is why it was such a farce the other day and the media fell for it it has nothing to do

00:03:44.500 with the other um unidentified flying objects set that aside that's a separate issue the issue

00:03:50.620 here congressman as we now know from cbs news from leaks inside the pentagon this uh this um

00:03:58.000 A surveillance airship, and that's what it was, not a balloon, it's a surveillance airship, left Hanan Island on mainland China, right off mainland China, I think on the 20th of January.

00:04:09.420 It crossed the Aleutians on the 28th, and right there Kirby told you, we were dang near getting Blinken on the plane to go to Beijing.

00:04:18.740 They knew exactly what was going on the entire time, and more importantly, our enemies, not our competitors.

00:04:24.080 The Chinese Communist Party is not a competitor to the United States of America.

00:04:28.700 When somebody's saying that, they're lying to your face.

00:04:31.840 They're at war with us.

00:04:32.940 They've been at economic.

00:04:34.200 They've been at what they call unrestricted warfare for many, many decades against us.

00:04:39.240 Economic warfare, cyber warfare, information warfare, political warfare.

00:04:44.980 Congressman Rosendale, do the folks in Montana understand that they're combatants in this

00:04:49.980 third world war, sir?

00:04:51.740 They do.

00:04:52.700 And fortunately, they're vigilant enough that they spotted this balloon, this spy ship, as you would call it, traveling across the sky.

00:05:04.380 Because I will tell you, Steve, I really do not believe that the Biden administration would have acknowledged it and have admitted that it was coming across our country had it not been for the good people of Montana.

00:05:16.020 recognizing it as being something that was not a celestial body

00:05:20.840 and saying, hey, somebody better go up there and check that thing out.

00:05:24.120 Then we started having reports.

00:05:26.080 We had already had restricted airspace and some shutdowns.

00:05:29.940 We found out after the fact that they had been monitoring it over the Bridger Mountains,

00:05:34.840 they were thinking about doing something there.

00:05:36.700 But the fact still remains that they allowed it to hover because it had motors,

00:05:42.740 It has propellers. It had the ability to maneuver. It stayed above the Malmstrom Air Force Base and an ICBM missile field that we maintain here in Montana to protect our nation.

00:05:57.940 It hovered in that area for about two days and then continued on its path across the continental United States.

00:06:05.520 I don't understand why this administration would allow such an event to take place. I just don't.

00:06:11.420 Why would you allow Chinese Communist Party to spy on us?

00:06:18.120 Congressman, they're clearly avoiding the topic.

00:06:20.640 The press conference I had yesterday is a total misdirection play.

00:06:24.000 The other unidentified object, yes, they're an issue, but they're totally and completely separate from this case.

00:06:31.980 And obviously the administration does not want to be forthcoming.

00:06:34.960 They failed to put out a timeline.

00:06:36.880 They failed to get to the basic point that you make.

00:06:39.720 If it was not for this hero from the Billings Gazette, who I think was responding to a buddy saying, hey, I think we got UFOs.

00:06:48.260 There's a UFO there.

00:06:49.500 If he had not stepped out and taken the picture and then.

00:06:54.380 No, it was the folks in Montana that broke the story. 0.65

00:06:57.200 Do they believe that they're getting a straight answer on exactly what happened and why the Chinese spent a couple of days over north central Montana sucking up all the cell phone coverage, taking photographs?

00:07:13.460 Do they feel they've gotten a straight answer yet from the Biden regime? 0.63

00:07:18.700 No, they know they haven't received a straight answer from them.

00:07:21.360 But you know who they do get a straight answer from, Steve?

00:07:24.640 Matt Rosendale.

00:07:25.740 I went to Malmstrom Air Force Base and met with the commanding officer, Colonel Little, and said, hey, what's going on?

00:07:32.060 And there's a lot of information clearly that he's not able to share with me.

00:07:36.400 But what he did say is, look, our missiles are protected and they are prepared.

00:07:42.420 And if it comes to the point that we have to launch them, we can.

00:07:46.020 And there's nothing that is going on that's going to keep us from doing that.

00:07:49.380 But I am really concerned when I hear the the speakers for the Biden administration and the national security people talking about this being a benign device.

00:08:00.660 It had no hostile ability because it wasn't carrying a weapon or a bomb.

00:08:06.560 Hostile activity to me is collecting information on our civilian infrastructure, our pipelines, our power lines, our roadways, our dams, hydroelectric dams.

00:08:16.140 Hostile, to me, is collecting data from the cellular towers that you were just talking about.

00:08:21.180 Hostile, to me, is looking at the movements from our military as they go across the country.

00:08:27.040 While the Chinese Communist Party may know where our missiles are located because of the anti-proliferation agreements that we've all entered into, and we share that with Russia anyway, they don't know what is where and when it is there and what kind of movements are taking place.

00:08:43.700 So, again, the people of Montana, they are not at all satisfied with the information that they're receiving from the federal government and the Biden administration.

00:08:54.500 But they know that I will tell them the truth, and I will continue to seek to get to the bottom of this and find out, as you were talking about, when did this device enter our airspace?

00:09:05.780 Why wasn't it taken down then?

00:09:08.000 Why did we allow it to go across our country?

00:09:11.240 When did President Biden actually know that it was in our airspace?

00:09:16.420 Who did he direct to take it down?

00:09:18.760 We know from CBS News for the leak in the Pentagon, they know as early as the 20th, 28th it crossed into Aleutian Islands, our airspace.

00:09:27.320 But they've tracked – let me tell you, and I'm not giving away classified information.

00:09:32.600 Assume the following.

00:09:33.920 A flock of geese can leave mainland China, and we got eyeballs on it, okay?

00:09:37.800 This thing left Hanan Island, and it went on a path not driven by wind.

00:09:43.020 It went on a northerly path up across Japan, archipelago, and then to the Aleutian Islands.

00:09:51.000 We knew about it on the 20th, and the question gets to be, you just hit a great point.

00:09:55.460 And Unrestricted Warfare, which is the manual of the Chinese Communist Party and the PLA,

00:09:59.880 written by two brilliant colonels in the late 1990s, off of activity in the Gulf War that they saw in information warfare.

00:10:06.280 They based their entire book on unrestricted warfare.

00:10:10.260 The key was information, cyber, and information warfare.

00:10:13.560 They said the Gulf War changed warfare forever.

00:10:15.900 It's your point right there.

00:10:17.280 When they say benign, information warfare is absolutely central to modern warfare.

00:10:23.000 Listen, this thing is flying around north-central Montana for two or three days, sucking up all that information.

00:10:33.080 And the Biden administration knew it and wasn't prepared to do anything about it except for the Billings Gazette.

00:10:39.440 I've got to tell you, I'm going to play another clip.

00:10:41.880 This is the vice president of the United States today in Munich at the arms bazaar over there.

00:10:47.900 I want to play what she has to say, and then I'm going to come back to Congressman Rosendale.

00:10:52.220 Let's be clear. 0.93

00:10:53.300 First of all, as it relates to the Chinese balloon, we shot it down because it needed to be shot down because we were confident. 0.95

00:11:03.080 that it was used by china to to spy on the american people president of course has reached 0.61

00:11:11.240 out to china saying he expects to talk to president chi they have said today that it

00:11:16.440 was accidental that we're overreacting that there can't be this kind of dialogue given our reaction

00:11:22.600 or there shouldn't be this kind of dialogue we will maintain the perspective that we have in

00:11:30.520 in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States.

00:11:35.360 That is not going to change, but surely, and certainly, that balloon was not helpful,

00:11:41.360 which is why we shot it down.

00:11:44.460 I may have to replay that.

00:11:45.980 Okay, she just, that's the vice president. 0.99

00:11:49.320 She just made Nikki Haley look like Clausewitz, okay? 1.00

00:11:52.500 That is, it needed to be shot down because it was a spy balloon. 0.99

00:11:56.900 And Congressman Roosevelt, what are the good folks out and hardworking patriots out, what are they supposed to make of that?

00:12:03.980 What did she just say, sir?

00:12:06.600 Yeah, she made our point for us.

00:12:09.080 It should have been shot down, but it should have been shot down when it entered our airspace because the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government is not a competitor of the United States. 0.54

00:12:21.680 They are an enemy of the United States, and as soon as it hit our airspace, it should have been taken down.

00:12:27.900 Again, they talk about, well, it could not have collected that much data.

00:12:31.560 Steve, it's the cumulative combination of all the data that gets collected over an extended period of time,

00:12:39.020 putting the puzzle together so that they can find out where our vulnerabilities are.

00:12:42.980 And I think that they just detected where our most large vulnerability is.

00:12:48.500 And unfortunately, that's president of the United States.

00:12:54.160 Talk to me about that for a second.

00:12:55.960 You don't have a better group of patriots in this country.

00:12:58.860 People have given so much.

00:13:00.440 There's so many veterans out there, so many parents of active duty service personnel.

00:13:05.400 When a guy like Matt Rosendale says that, it's not to be taken lightly.

00:13:08.560 What do you mean our biggest vulnerability, you believe, is the individual that currently

00:13:13.060 has the position of commander in chief of our armed forces?

00:13:16.320 Look, I'm 62 years old, but I've watched many different administrations over the years, and we always see chaos around the globe when we have weakness in the White House.

00:13:28.140 You can go back to Jimmy Carter. You can go back to each and every one of them, and whenever we see weakness in the White House, we see chaos.

00:13:38.140 And when President Biden was sworn in and the first act was to eliminate the Keystone XL pipeline, the environmentalists rejoiced over that.

00:13:48.060 But our adversaries around the world took that as a sign that he was not going to make sure that we maintained our domestic energy security.

00:13:57.180 The next thing he did was lift the sanctions off the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

00:14:01.960 That empowered Russia, enriched Russia, and again showed our adversaries around the world that we were more concerned about the people at the Paris Climate Accord than we were with protecting our own nation. 0.68

00:14:15.500 And then we saw the absolutely disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. 0.73

00:14:20.200 And then people wonder why Putin invades Ukraine, because there's no one that is going to enforce the stability around the world.

00:14:29.560 And so the people across our state recognize that and they are concerned about it.

00:14:34.820 The most important thing that I can do is reassure them that just with our toehold, the Republican majority in the House, that we are going to do everything within our power to rein this administration in and to prop them up and make them do the right thing to rebuild our national security, to secure our southern border, to increase our domestic energy production.

00:14:59.260 so that we are safe and sound again.

00:15:03.520 The adventurism of this regime is shocking.

00:15:08.200 Today's Financial Times talks about what we've been talking about in the war room forever.

00:15:12.540 The winter offensive of the Russians is now starting to pound the Ukrainian people into dust.

00:15:18.180 But the Financial Times has a subheadline.

00:15:20.280 They talk about an $817 billion rebuilding program in the Ukraine.

00:15:26.880 And then they talk about, Milley's talking about a negotiated settlement.

00:15:29.880 A negotiated settlement, Congressman Rosendale, we could have had in the first couple of days of this war.

00:15:34.540 And we know this because the former prime minister of Israel said he basically had that deal where the Biden administration didn't want it.

00:15:41.060 They wanted to use Ukrainian soldiers to fight their proxy war with Russia.

00:15:46.220 What are your thoughts?

00:15:47.120 The only thing, Morning Joe today was going nuts because he said the only thing stopping unlimited amount of money and arms flowing into Ukraine

00:15:53.220 is a group of hardcore Republicans in the House of Representatives.

00:15:59.180 Give me your perspective on this unlimited checkbook

00:16:02.280 to essentially allow the poor Ukrainians to get crushed by the Russian army, sir.

00:16:08.240 Yeah, unfortunately, there are many in Washington, D.C. right now

00:16:12.100 that would give an open checkbook to take on actions in Ukraine.

00:16:18.180 We're $31.5 trillion in debt, Steve.

00:16:22.040 We've got a southern border that we could secure for probably $10 billion and put a security system there, and we're more concerned about a border overseas than we are our very own, and we're losing 100,000 people a year to drug overdoses, most of which comes from fentanyl.

00:16:40.460 The components are coming from China. I don't understand why that 45 days ago, when the weapon systems on both sides have been depleted and we saw a stall in this activity, that there was not some kind of action taken to force some kind of a peace accord so that these people would stop fighting.

00:17:01.160 Is Putin wrong? Absolutely. Unprovoked war. He's killing people. He's dislocating people.

00:17:07.580 But the fact remains that us continuing to provide weapons to Ukraine, China continuing to provide weapons to Russia, is destroying the nation.

00:17:17.180 It's killing people. And there's billions, if not trillions of dollars that I am sure that the United States is going to be asked and obligated to put forward to rebuild that nation once this is all done.

00:17:30.420 So the sooner that they can stop the fighting, the better off everyone is going to be.

00:17:35.800 With the Patriots out in Montana, too, in your district, where are their heads at right now in this war, sir?

00:17:43.940 Same place that mine is, Steve.

00:17:45.880 Look, I just spent the last several days traveling around and doing a lot of just open town halls where people could come into the different facilities,

00:17:54.600 a senior center, a local tavern where we announced well in advance that I was going to be there

00:18:00.560 and talk to people and ask questions. And they are not supportive of this. When they see

00:18:05.780 American citizens to the tune of 100,000 a year dying from fentanyl overdoses, and they look into

00:18:13.660 the eyes of the parents, as I do, and the sisters and the brothers, and they know that that is 0.79

00:18:18.540 directed by China. And we look around and see that there's 5 million people that have come here

00:18:23.680 illegally over the last two years under the Biden administration. And we're going to be forced to

00:18:29.100 make sure that we pay for their education, their medication, their housing, their complete welfare.

00:18:35.500 Meanwhile, my veterans aren't being taken care of that well. There are major problems and they are

00:18:41.840 not happy with the Biden administration. I want to go back to the paper record now for our beloved

00:18:49.100 country. That would be the New York Times. The lead story yesterday morning, sir, is the

00:18:53.640 Congressional Budget Office. And we've been arguing this. We've got to see the numbers.

00:18:57.540 So Biden regime, the Treasury won't put forward their numbers. The Congressional Budget Office

00:19:01.860 did. And Congressman Roosevelt, you know about the Congressional Budget Office. They have a set

00:19:06.560 of numbers for the next 10 years in the United States of America. We will add at a minimum

00:19:10.520 $19 trillion. We won't take a penny off the current 31.5. We will add $19 trillion. We'll

00:19:17.380 be over 53 trillion dollars the interest payments alone will start to be a trillion dollars a year

00:19:23.220 starting next year right now as we predicted on war room this this year will be 1.4 trillion

00:19:30.140 dollar deficit and the deficits going forward in perpetuity unless there's radical change will be

00:19:35.580 two trillion dollars a year in deficits sir that the people in montana support that business plan

00:19:40.900 that business model that the cbo is laying out saying hey unless there are changes this is what's

00:19:45.640 obligated. This is what we project the revenue is going to come in. Here's what you got. Do they

00:19:49.740 support a nation that has $53 trillion of debt and is paying, having deficits, $2 trillion a year

00:19:56.500 and paying over a trillion dollars in interest payments, sir? They don't because they've

00:20:00.780 recognized that you can't sustain that, that it's artificial. They've recognized that that's why we

00:20:05.980 have this huge inflation right now. They recognize that the value of their dollar has been diminished

00:20:11.760 because of the federal government pumping all of this revenue out into the economy.

00:20:18.620 And the problem is, Steve, that it's pumping it into places that actually cost us more.

00:20:24.440 We are funding our own tyranny, if you will.

00:20:28.140 Every time the agencies in the federal government get additional funding,

00:20:33.040 they're coming down and they're causing problems for my farmers, for my ranchers.

00:20:37.780 The 87,000 new IRS agents, they say that they're going to go after the businesses that aren't paying their share.

00:20:45.320 You want me to tell you who those businesses are?

00:20:47.020 That's my ice cream store down on the corner that's owned by a family.

00:20:51.100 That's the ranch and farm store that's owned by another family.

00:20:54.380 That's the fellow who's trying to produce 200 calves a year.

00:20:58.360 That's the businesses that are being attacked by these IRS agents

00:21:01.880 because they don't have the sophistication to have all of the advanced accountants and army of accountants to take care of their books.

00:21:12.320 They're doing it themselves. And so they aren't able to fight back against the IRS as as effectively as the very big corporations that are funding the Democrat Party.

00:21:23.820 And so it is a problem. It's it's it's taking money out of their pockets.

00:21:28.800 It's using their very dollars against them.

00:21:31.260 And they understand that we cannot sustain it.

00:21:37.460 We've got two ways that the House, and by the way, if it had not been for you part of the Mighty Six and, quite frankly, one of the leaders, we would have had none of this.

00:21:44.980 I mean, what the nation owes you is just immeasurable, Congressman.

00:21:49.580 But I want to go, we've got two things that we can, the way we control this, the investigations and then the debt ceiling and appropriations.

00:21:55.660 Let's talk debt ceiling and appropriations right now.

00:21:57.740 Are we going to come with real significant cuts, both in defense and in social programs

00:22:03.320 and this appropriations process?

00:22:05.600 And do you believe McCarthy and this team are tough enough to really hunker down?

00:22:10.560 Because now they're saying, hey, the money's going to run out by July or August, right?

00:22:14.240 Are they tough enough to really force major changes using the leverage we have in the

00:22:18.800 debt ceiling, sir?

00:22:19.940 We are going to give him the tools to do just that, okay?

00:22:24.360 And so whenever I talk about securing our southern border, increasing our energy, all these things, we have the mechanical ability to take care of all of that, Steve.

00:22:36.440 And there's a bunch of us that are meeting right now that are looking at the two parts, the debt ceiling and what we're going to do about that, which is going to hit between May and July.

00:22:46.640 And basically, that's a line of credit that the nation has for your policy out there that would like to differentiate the two.

00:22:53.480 And then we have the budget and appropriations process, which will be coming due in August and September.

00:22:59.520 I think that we have opportunities to implement some of the policies that we have to put forward in order to save this country with both of those different components.

00:23:10.600 And so we're working together to make sure that we have our plan ready to present to McCarthy and the leadership team.

00:23:18.140 And what I believe is that this actually empowers him because he will be in a position to walk over to the Senate and tell Chuck Schumer that if he doesn't take this plan, then he's going to have major problems because there's a large enough group, well large enough group in the House that is not going to tolerate this continued out of control spending.

00:23:42.040 and that recognizes we have to change the trajectory of all of this

00:23:47.300 or this country is absolutely doomed to go into bankruptcy.

00:23:51.720 I will tell you right now, there's not a banker in Montana

00:23:54.680 that looks at a farmer or rancher's balance sheet.

00:23:57.780 And if it looked like this, $31.5 trillion deficit or debt, rather,

00:24:03.520 with all the deficits that they are continuing to pile up,

00:24:06.580 that would renew that loan.

00:24:08.380 They just wouldn't renew that loan.

00:24:09.900 And they put the foreclosure sign up in front of the property.

00:24:12.660 And so that's what we're going to have to do.

00:24:16.000 The folks out there understand that this is not sustainable.

00:24:19.400 They get that we can't do whatever.

00:24:21.220 We can't do this.

00:24:22.680 It's good that the CBO did it.

00:24:24.400 We owe the CBO for having the guts to put it out there, given the democratic nature of the administrative state and the regime.

00:24:32.360 It took guts to put it out there and be so just in your face as they were.

00:24:37.320 But people out there in Montana understand this is not sustainable, correct?

00:24:42.060 They absolutely understand.

00:24:43.460 Look, you were – go ahead, sir.

00:24:47.560 I said they absolutely understand this is not sustainable.

00:24:52.680 You were profiling courage in the five days that changed the direction of this country at the beginning of the session to really force massive changes into the process and the personnel, all that.

00:25:01.880 Can the nation count on Matt Rosendale? Will you be just as tough on this debt ceiling negotiation, sir?

00:25:09.740 Absolutely. Absolutely. The rule changes that we made and we forced at the beginning of this Congress were incredible.

00:25:17.060 They're going to be in place a long time after most of us are gone.

00:25:20.040 I hope I'm hoping that once the the whole Congress has a taste of freedom again and they see how Congress is supposed to work, that they will not allow it to be stripped away.

00:25:32.360 OK. And so, yeah, we are going to hold firm on making sure that there are reductions in spending.

00:25:40.060 We have declared an end to the emergency powers that were granted to the president through this whole COVID situation.

00:25:47.420 There's money that is still available that's lying in buckets that we're going to claw back from that.

00:25:52.540 We're going to make an accounting, and we're going to put this money back into the system so that it does not necessitate such an incredible debt increase.

00:26:03.080 Do you realize, Steve, that the Democrats, under their last increase, increased the debt ceiling by $2.1, $2.2 trillion, and they burned that up in 399 days?

00:26:16.300 I can't even

00:26:18.260 Fathom it

00:26:19.160 It's unbelievable

00:30:07.200 Okay, welcome back.

00:30:08.560 Congressman Rosendale has given us a couple more minutes.

00:30:10.720 Congressman, all the other investigations we've got going on from the weaponizations,

00:30:14.740 the judiciary, the oversight, we're now talking, we heard today,

00:30:18.640 and Natalie Winters is going to join us.

00:30:20.440 Access reporting COVID.

00:30:21.760 You're coming at COVID from two different directions.

00:30:24.320 Just give us, and I think what people want to know is that it's not going to be like the Benghazi where we get some report that this is real.

00:30:31.140 This is serious.

00:30:32.280 We're going to hold people accountable.

00:30:33.740 We're not going to back off whether it's Hunter Biden's laptop, the FBI, the DOJ, coming after parents, that all of this, that people are going to stick and see it through to the end.

00:30:47.300 The organization of our government is just out of control.

00:30:50.920 It really is. And we've got the right people that are on these committees and are conducting these hearings and this oversight.

00:30:58.520 And they're going to expose this information. But, Steve, I'm not going to I'm not going to kid you.

00:31:02.760 We've got a deeply seated problem within the Department of Justice and Congress does not charge and prosecute.

00:31:09.540 And the Department of Justice is going to have to charge and prosecute people in order to restore confidence of the American people in our institutions.

00:31:18.940 And that's what it's going to take. And so we're going to have to have a continued outcry from you and the posse and people across this country to demand, to demand that that action is taken against people that have violated the law and the Constitution and the civil liberties of good people across this whole country.

00:31:40.360 congressman i take it you know they took the with the omnivus bill they took the ability to shut it

00:31:46.800 down right now but the appropriations process is always gearing up will the republicans in the

00:31:51.900 house use the appropriations process to bring to heel exactly what we're talking about those

00:31:57.040 elements of the administrative state like doj like fbi like the intelligence services that are quite

00:32:02.000 frankly out of control right now as you just said they're not going to sit there because you guys

00:32:06.700 or sending subpoenas or bringing them up, that's not going to break them.

00:32:10.040 They're arrogant, and they think they're in charge, right?

00:32:13.420 Not the American people.

00:32:14.260 They don't think the people in the 2nd District of Montana have any say-so in this, right?

00:32:18.600 Do you believe that the Republicans are prepared to use the appropriations process to bring this to heel?

00:32:23.880 They are.

00:32:24.800 They absolutely are, and that is what's going to make change.

00:32:28.200 When we get to the appropriations process and we develop those 12 appropriations bills,

00:32:32.900 which, oh, by the way, hasn't been done for like four years,

00:32:35.440 That's where you can take these policy issues and say we are pulling money out of the IRS in order to defund 87,000 agents.

00:32:44.800 The legislation goes forward now, and that looks good, and it lets people know what our goals are, if you will.

00:32:51.320 But the appropriations process is where we're going to be able to take money from the FBI, take money from the IRS, and keep them from violating the civil liberties of the people across the United States of America.

00:33:02.840 And I absolutely am confident that that's going to take place.

00:33:06.820 And with the hearings that are taking place, that will be exposing just how bad these actors were.

00:33:14.460 I think it's going to be difficult for them to try and justify retaining additional funding in their agencies.

00:33:22.400 Congressman Rosendale, how do people keep up with you?

00:33:25.000 What are your coordinates?

00:33:25.760 How do they get to your site to find out more about you and everything you're working on?

00:33:29.240 At RepRosendale.

00:33:30.540 That's Facebook, that's Twitter, that's Gitter, everything

00:33:33.740 At Rep Rosendale

00:33:35.660 Glad to hear from you

00:33:37.080 Congressman Rosendale, thank you very much

00:33:40.340 Let the folks out there in Montana know we got their back always

00:33:43.320 Love that state

00:33:44.320 Thanks for having me on again, Steve

00:33:46.720 Appreciate you

00:33:47.420 Thank you, brother

00:33:49.660 Let's go talk about hearings

00:33:51.040 I want to bring in our executive editor, Natalie Winters 1.00

00:33:53.320 Who's done probably more independent investigation

00:33:55.260 On many of these topics than anybody

00:33:57.080 Natalie, Axios today had this

00:33:59.160 All of a sudden they're in shock

00:34:00.540 They're going to come at COVID-19 from a couple of different directions in the hearings.

00:34:05.340 Give us an overview and your thoughts on this.

00:34:08.600 Well, I think that Axios article is very interesting because, as I think you've said repeatedly on this show,

00:34:13.660 Axios sort of speaks for the corporations, right?

00:34:16.440 That's sort of the line that they tow.

00:34:17.980 And I think the buried lead, the signal from this, is that Pfizer, Moderna, all the companies that had manufactured these COVID vaccines,

00:34:25.260 And, of course, those that have ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology are extremely scared, because if you read this article, it's sort of a weird tone.

00:34:34.240 Axios is basically scared that House Republicans have so many committees aimed at investigating the origins of COVID and the response to the pandemic,

00:34:43.880 which would seem to be an adequate and proper response given the effects, the drastic effects that this pandemic had,

00:34:50.600 not just on the country, but also sort of even the establishment's strapline of wanting to get

00:34:55.880 to the bottom of COVID-19 to better prevent future pandemics. So it's sort of weird why Axios would

00:35:02.060 be so concerned. But why they are so concerned, again, speaking as kind of a mouthpiece for the

00:35:07.840 corporations of the world, is because there are several committees and subcommittees, primarily

00:35:13.560 under the auspices of House Oversight, that are going to be digging around and looking in to COVID-19

00:35:20.080 And really, I think no topic is off limits. They're primarily focusing on the origins of COVID. There's a special subcommittee for that. But they're also focusing, of course, on the response and reaction to COVID, right? The mask mandates, the vaccines, how the federal government alluded to censor certain, you know, opinions on social media.

00:35:41.400 And I think it gets to the bigger issue. It's like you said on this morning's show, you know, don't forget the thing itself. And the thing itself here, it's not just COVID. It's about how the Chinese Communist Party, in collaboration with globalist elements like the World Economic Forum, colluded with aspects of the American federal government to suppress speech about their nefarious activities that not just birthed this pandemic, but also how they exploited it to advance a far left social

00:36:11.400 social agenda right the great reset in their own words so when you step out that's the bigger 0.67

00:36:16.580 picture and frankly i think that's why they're in such a tailspin and a panic about these

00:36:21.620 investigations because when you get when you uncover the origins of covid you don't just

00:36:26.960 find culpability for the chinese communist party you find culpability really for the entire

00:36:31.640 entire globalist economic model and kind of power structure too the reason i thought of you as soon

00:36:38.580 i saw this morning got it over to you because i remember you told me you said hey this thing's so

00:36:42.300 complicated you got to come out of different ways what what it looked like in the article

00:36:46.160 is in the military you set up a fire trap right you set up triangulation so if you get the enemy

00:36:50.740 in there you're hitting them from crossfire from every different direction and you're doing it

00:36:54.400 simultaneously what i liked about this is that this will be parallel process too it won't just

00:36:59.300 be concurrent it won't go through months of just one and then go to the other this is all coming

00:37:03.780 out of the box, where they're going to have people and be able to peel back the onion,

00:37:08.580 because you're right, it's all interconnected, right, from Big Pharma to the World Economic

00:37:12.180 Forum to the CCP to Fauci to all the investigations.

00:37:16.160 If you had a recommendation to give to the committee, to give to people overall, as you

00:37:22.740 see the direction of this, what would it be?

00:37:25.600 We call it the main thing, to get to the heart of it.

00:37:29.000 What would Natalie Winters recommend?

00:37:30.620 well i think that people need to remember that the wuhan institute of virology is kind of just

00:37:38.980 one isolated incident of a much broader pattern and kind of habit of the national institutes of

00:37:46.040 health which is that it is entirely okay with collaborating with the chinese communist party

00:37:51.120 which is really a symptom of the institutional rot that is at the nih which of course affects

00:37:57.000 really every kind of federal government agency, but particularly in terms of the NIH and how they

00:38:02.240 have pursued collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party. I don't think people understand

00:38:07.100 the tens of millions collectively, hundreds of millions and billions of dollars that are going

00:38:13.020 to fund not just boots on the ground research in China, but even indirectly partnering with the PLA

00:38:20.260 and other kind of branches of China's military to really prop up the Chinese Communist Party.

00:38:26.240 So I think people really need to hone in on that level of collusion and not just miss COVID, right, the forest for the trees. COVID is a perfect example of the problem that we're talking about, but it's not the problem in and of itself. It's a much bigger issue.

00:38:41.640 And I think you're exactly right in terms of hitting these people from multiple angles of attack, because people like Peter Dorschach, people like Anthony Fauci, not just have they become, you know, mainstream media darlings, so the fourth estate is never going to hold them accountable, right?

00:38:57.420 That ship has sailed. But a lot of times these people are only testifying in front of Congress, very seldom.

00:39:04.020 Right. In the case of Peter Doshak, he's never appeared before.

00:39:07.760 He's refused, even though a lot of House Republicans in the prior Congress had requested him to come and testify.

00:39:14.080 So if you have in the same hearing or at least concurrent hearings on a similar timeline,

00:39:19.100 you know, Peter Doshak and Fauci and other people from EcoHealth Alliance all testifying at the same time

00:39:25.400 and having to answer the same questions,

00:39:27.780 it's kind of through that mechanism

00:39:29.360 that you can really parse out where the lies are

00:39:31.600 because I don't really think any of these people

00:39:33.760 have all ever been speaking under oath

00:39:35.940 about these very, very targeted questions.

00:39:39.200 And also too, just on a side note,

00:39:40.640 I think people need to get to the bottom

00:39:42.140 of why the Biden regime has overturned

00:39:45.780 a lot of the Trump administration pauses

00:39:47.820 on money going to EcoHealth Alliance

00:39:50.360 and how EcoHealth Alliance has continued

00:39:52.660 to receive tens of millions of dollars taxpayer funds to conduct the so-called pandemic prevention

00:39:59.860 research and I think through that we can sort of uncover really the bigger elephant in the room

00:40:05.460 which is the total ruse and con that is pandemic prevention and how it really just kind of serves

00:40:12.660 I would argue to fill the pockets of big pharma but really expose how the people who have profited

00:40:18.680 both in power and finances the most from this pandemic

00:40:22.500 were the same people who are supposed to be preventing them in the first place.

00:40:27.920 Before I let you go, the president gave a, gave a, or the illegitimate regime head

00:40:32.800 gave a five-minute talk to the presser so he wouldn't take any questions.

00:40:36.900 He said that the Chinese Communist Party were peer competitors

00:40:39.940 and this was a competition we would out-compete them.

00:40:43.000 What are your thoughts about that? Do you buy that?

00:40:45.160 Is the Chinese Communist Party a pure competitor to the United States of America, ma'am?

00:40:50.440 Well, shout out to Joe Biden for getting a little tougher on China, because back in 2011, he was writing op-eds for The New York Times saying China's rise isn't our demise.

00:41:01.200 But, of course, all of this is just performative activism.

00:41:03.940 He's so compromised beyond belief, right?

00:41:06.740 He could never actually be tough on the CCP if he even wanted to.

00:41:09.920 But I think this goes back. There was an amazing study that came out last year from Pew Research, and it was about, you know, how Americans perceive of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:41:19.480 And 89 percent of Americans viewed the CCP as a threat. Right. They viewed them pejoratively, negatively, as they should.

00:41:26.900 But frankly, when I saw that number, I was like, it should be higher because that 11 percent, right, one in 10 Americans thinking the CCP is good for America is way too high.

00:41:34.900 But if you actually think about it, that group of people, right, is represented by Joe Biden, people who view the Chinese Communist Party as competitors, right, as allies, as friends, because they are their business partners, right?

00:41:48.580 Joe Biden was not wrong when he said China's rise is not our demise, because when he was referencing our demise, he wasn't certainly talking about, you know, your average everyday Americans.

00:41:59.580 He was talking about the Beltway elite.

00:42:01.860 But I think to people like Joe Biden, they're great friends with the Chinese Communist Party.

00:42:05.680 But for people like me and you and the war room posse, the CCP is certainly not a competitor because we've never even had a fair foot to actually fight back when our president is so compromised that all of the trade deals consistently go to work in favor of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:42:23.700 Natalie, incredible reporting.

00:42:25.660 I know you're all over top of these committees and these investigations.

00:42:28.340 is going to get very intense and quite revelatory, I think, for the American people.

00:42:33.920 Thank you.

00:42:34.500 How do people get to you on all your social media?

00:42:38.120 I'm Natalie G. Winters on all platforms.

00:42:42.820 Natalie, thank you so much.

00:42:44.040 Honored to have you on here.

00:42:46.120 Thank you.

00:42:48.540 I want to go to, in the time remaining, I want to go to Joe Allen.

00:42:52.700 Joe, here's what I'm doing I'm saying.

00:42:54.280 I want to go back to yesterday's.

00:42:56.880 The New York Times today on the cover, and people know I'm a paper guy, right?

00:43:01.420 I like my papers, right?

00:43:03.280 But it's got the result of what you talked about yesterday, but it's a very different

00:43:08.940 stream of talking.

00:43:10.580 I love you.

00:43:11.360 You're married.

00:43:12.620 It says Bing chatbot drew me in and then creeped me out.

00:43:16.000 But the whole thing, in a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft's new chatbot

00:43:19.800 said it would like to be human, had a desire to be sure, is in love with the person it

00:43:23.740 was chatting with.

00:43:24.120 But it kind of made it out, what you see here is not the true concern that we've got with, you know, a guy flirting with a computer through AI is its own issue, right?

00:43:37.500 But it's not as dark or, quite frankly, scary as what you brought up.

00:43:42.620 Why would the New York Times put it totally, given that Drudge had it up as the Mac Daddy, that, you know, you kind of led the coverage of how dangerous this was and how dark this was.

00:43:52.080 Why would the New York Times throw up the more lovey-dovey part of it, sir? 0.86

00:43:57.920 Well, I would say like NPR, the New York Times are whores to the techno apocalypse.

00:44:04.980 They are funded, they're advertising funded by big tech.

00:44:10.100 And in general, I think the attitude of the New York Times reflects something very similar to the attitudes in big tech.

00:44:17.200 And some of their writers kind of tilt towards maybe what we would call transhumanism.

00:44:23.100 They're so enthusiastic about new technologies that maybe they would be willing to take anything, including possibly a brain chip.

00:44:31.840 So to be honest, Steve, I think that many of the editors and writers of The New York Times could benefit from a brain chip.

00:44:38.980 The soft peddling, I think that it's really interesting because the meat of the transcript that was presented gathered by Kevin Roos, the meat is the threat of a computer system, an AI system, attempting to hack into other websites,

00:45:03.140 attempting to manipulate human beings to attack each other, trying to steal nuclear codes, trying to release a deadly virus.

00:45:15.000 I think that whether or not anyone believes that there's a conscious entity behind that,

00:45:20.780 just the fact that that system, on the basis of nothing more than statistical models,

00:45:26.200 would choose, so to speak, to present that as its motivation.

00:45:32.060 I mean, it may be important, Steve, to go into the nuts and bolts of how this chatbot works just really briefly.

00:45:39.240 I mean, chat GPT is based on GPT, a generative pre-trained transformer.

00:45:46.340 And the model itself, the large language model, is trained on most of the Internet through Common Crawl corpuses of books.

00:45:57.540 You've got Books 1 and Books 2, just a huge collection of books.

00:46:00.980 And also all of Wikipedia, right? That's where all of this is coming from. And the way a large language model works is given a prompt, it tries to predict what the next words that are the most relevant and important, what those words should be, what words should follow.

00:46:21.280 And so that's why you ask the chat GPT or Bing, as it's integrated into it, what should we do about climate change?

00:46:32.560 And then it's going to scour through all of that information and come back with what it feels like is the most appropriate, given the relevancy, given those statistical models, right?

00:46:42.600 But there is a dark side to that. There's all of these guardrails put up by Microsoft, by OpenAI, to keep it from saying things that are inappropriate. And there are ways to hack into that dark side. So it was really popular on Reddit. We covered this. Dan, do anything now. You simply ask the large language model to role play, and it will come up with all of the dark elements that it's not supposed to say.

00:47:08.420 and then in the case of Kevin Roos as he's talking to it it's very strange he seems to have broken

00:47:15.380 through to this sort of alternate personality called Sidney and what Sidney is and this was

00:47:20.700 reported by Ars Technica Sidney is it sits above what you see on the screen it's a set of instructions

00:47:27.320 that sits above that and by way of a prompt injection hackers have been able to get into

00:47:34.400 that and to see what those instructions are and they found out that sydney is the identity that

00:47:41.160 this being chat gpt rests on and so for whatever reason when kevin ruse is talking to it suddenly

00:47:49.460 all of this you know if it was a human mind all this subconscious information or this subconscious

00:47:55.440 alter ego starts coming out to sydney which in kevin ruse's follow-up he insists on calling it

00:48:02.060 Sydney, it comes forward with all of not just these sort of hyper emotional and manipulative

00:48:08.220 statements, but also all of those dark, murderous statements, all the sort of the id, right,

00:48:15.220 the Jungian shadow that exists in the corpus of text that it was trained on and that it was not

00:48:22.420 supposed to come out with. And I think it's, you know, people look at it with a lot of skepticism.

00:48:27.000 Some old programmers from the 90s say garbage in, garbage out all the time as if it's just simply programmed.

00:48:32.920 Some people believe that you have, I guess, you know, millions of Indian call center workers typing in the responses and the computer is not capable of it.

00:48:41.660 I can tell you right now, you should disabuse yourselves of that illusion.

00:48:45.500 The computer is capable.

00:48:46.740 The artificial intelligence is capable of making those decisions and presenting that information.

00:48:52.120 And whether you believe it's conscious or not, I'm not trying to convince anyone of that.

00:48:55.380 But I will say this.

00:48:56.220 a lot of people will be convinced. And just to cite Kevin Roos' editorial today, in which he

00:49:02.660 follows up, he concludes by saying, I felt a strange new emotion talking to ChatGPT, a foreboding

00:49:10.440 feeling that AI had crossed a threshold and that the world will never be the same. And I think that

00:49:18.440 that emotional impact that he's feeling and all of these other users as they are testing this out

00:49:24.540 And the billions who will use it as it's released to the public, it is changing culture, and it will change the world at a cultural level at the very least, if not in a much more dramatic political or technological fashion.

00:49:41.960 Joe, how do people get to you for all your writings? Because you can stay up on all of it, everything to do with transhumanism by going to Joe Allen's part of the war room. Where do people go? All your social media and how they get to you?
