Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 767： It’s Time For Fiscal Republicans To Fight

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:07.740 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:12.980 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:17.240 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:19.180 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:20.600 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:22.340 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:23.280 It's going to happen.

00:00:24.540 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:27.940 Mega Media.

00:00:28.840 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:34.720 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:38.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:00:44.880 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:52.880 Okay, Tuesday, 13 May, Europe, Rural War 2025.

00:00:55.320 Thank you for staying around for the second hour of the late afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room.

00:01:03.920 So we're jammed today.

00:01:06.060 Spencer Morrison is going to join us here in a moment.

00:01:08.180 The author of reassuring, he's got some observations about where we stand with the Chinese tariff deal,

00:01:15.240 some guidance for Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, and the President Oscar Blue Romero is going to join us.

00:01:22.140 But some massive developing story in the cartel wars down in Mexico.

00:01:28.060 And Tim Burchett is going to join us later in the show.

00:01:32.060 We start with Congressman Eli Crane.

00:01:33.720 Congressman, just walk us through your – we had Andy Biggs on today, the dean of the Deficit Hawks.

00:01:40.160 And what we're trying to do is get our arms around this so we can make kind of a cohesive, coherent argument to the War Room posse

00:01:48.300 about where we're going to come out on this and where people need help.

00:01:50.880 But our first cut of this is that we just don't see the – I mean, they're asking for a $4 trillion debt ceiling hike

00:01:58.480 that will take us through the midterm elections in 26, so end in November 26.

00:02:05.020 And we penciled this out is that we're going to have close to or maybe slightly over a $2 trillion deficit this fiscal year

00:02:11.980 because we inherited Biden's bill and either didn't do the work or ran out of time or whatever.

00:02:18.120 We just eventually accepted the whole thing.

00:02:21.640 And next year, the one you guys are working on, we're penciling it out at over a $2 trillion deficit.

00:02:28.600 So we're going to blow through the debt ceiling by at least the midterm elections.

00:02:33.460 We'll be at $40 trillion.

00:02:35.340 This thing is projected, as Andy Biggs said, we'll be – if we follow this for 10 years, this is $69 trillion.

00:02:42.900 So we know you're a spending hawk.

00:02:46.100 Where are you coming down on this at this stage?

00:02:48.600 Is this massive – you know, the big, beautiful bill works its way through the House, sir?

00:02:54.780 Well, Steve, thanks for having me on.

00:02:57.060 I remember having a conversation with you early on in this Congress, and I remember telling you something.

00:03:04.400 I said you were pretty much going to see the same thing out of Washington, D.C.

00:03:08.200 because the players haven't changed up here.

00:03:10.720 You still have a lot of members of Congress and the Senate whose priorities aren't to save the country or to get us on a fiscal responsible track.

00:03:22.180 Their priorities are to elevate themselves in the political arena, make sure that their donors get taken care of,

00:03:29.860 and make sure that they don't make any moves that put them in political hot water.

00:03:34.160 And so I also told you that there was only one thing that had changed that could possibly move the fiscal needle back towards responsibility.

00:03:44.560 And unfortunately, as I told you, that was President Trump making this a priority.

00:03:49.780 Now, when I told you that, and I feel the same way today, I hate to put that on the president.

00:03:55.040 I mean, he's got the world on his shoulders right now.

00:03:58.400 He's done a great job on the border.

00:04:00.300 He's putting out fires all over the world right now, in addition to negotiating all of our trade deals.

00:04:07.180 But when you've seen the movie enough times, you know who the characters are, you know who motivates them, and you know what the plot is.

00:04:14.040 And unfortunately, there's still not enough fiscal conservatives that are willing to put themselves in political hot water

00:04:20.680 to actually have the tough conversations, make the tough decisions, and take the tough votes that will put us back on a fiscally responsible track.

00:04:31.660 So, okay, okay.

00:04:34.260 You were with us in the hardest days of 21, 22.

00:04:40.400 This audience, which is your audience, they love you.

00:04:46.280 They love the fighters.

00:04:47.280 You know, we bounded together.

00:04:51.440 Trump is our hero, fought and got President Trump back in there.

00:04:55.340 We kind of were under the impression that the Trump movement brought people in there that actually believe some foundational elements of what President Trump believes.

00:05:04.480 And part of that is we've got to get our fiscal house in order.

00:05:06.820 In order to do that, and I admit, I'm all for raising the rates on the wealthy or taking away deductions because I think they've got to throw more in here

00:05:14.520 because I don't think the math works.

00:05:15.540 It's been put off the side.

00:05:16.300 The fundamental thing we have to do is cut federal spending and do it smartly.

00:05:20.740 Are you telling us you just don't think there's enough true Trump believers that are actually in the House at this time,

00:05:26.980 that we've changed the electorate to a working class and middle class?

00:05:32.400 We're the party that are working and middle class now, the Democrats are the party of the elites, 0.78

00:05:36.380 yet we don't have elected officials that essentially believe the basic underpinnings of the Trump revolution, sir?

00:05:43.000 That's exactly what I'm telling you, Steve.

00:05:46.480 And when you look at some of the hot button issues up here in reconciliation, like you look at some of our colleagues from blue states like New York and California,

00:05:55.960 and they're pushing, you know, for increases in salt, you know, tax deductions, you know, you've got, I think, 20 members of the House that have signed a letter saying they're unwilling to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act

00:06:09.440 and all the green energy subsidies that went along with that, you've got, obviously, you've got a big fight up here about Medicaid and reforming Medicaid.

00:06:20.280 You know, that program has grown 50 percent in the last five years.

00:06:24.720 I think there's close to 80 million people on Medicaid right now.

00:06:29.020 And I know that this has been a hot button topic even on your show.

00:06:32.520 But, you know, there are many of us that believe that we have to have cuts across the board on most of these programs, including the Department of Defense,

00:06:42.240 which has been one of the most disappointing things that I've seen up here is that that's one program that's like this golden cow that can never be touched.

00:06:51.580 But I want to bring you back to a couple months ago when I was on your show.

00:06:55.180 I talked about how some of us at the beginning of this reconciliation process were advocating for a two-bill structure.

00:07:04.800 OK, and one of the reasons.

00:07:06.340 Amen, brother.

00:07:07.320 And you had the war room was 1000 percent in back of you.

00:07:10.780 Keep going.

00:07:12.040 Right.

00:07:12.340 And one of the reasons we were advocating for that was for a couple of different reasons.

00:07:16.540 One, we wanted to get Tom Holman the money that he needed to carry out this huge deportation, border security operation.

00:07:24.880 And we didn't want that to drag out into the summer.

00:07:28.000 You know, we knew he was already, you know, operating at a deficit because Congress hadn't done the work to get him his money.

00:07:34.680 But the other reason we wanted that, Steve, because we knew if we got into a one big, beautiful bill situation, you know, it basically any any one of these factions that's fighting for, you know, don't you know, don't touch Medicaid, don't reform Medicaid.

00:07:51.520 You know, the salt increases or, you know, the IRA continuation could kill this bill.

00:07:58.920 And I'll tell you, Steve, this town's not good at advocating for the American people or doing the right thing.

00:08:04.700 But one thing they're very good at is putting elected officials, members of Congress in a very tight situation and applying a lot of political pressure.

00:08:13.640 And I knew that's what was going to happen if we got into this one big, beautiful bill.

00:08:17.820 And, you know, so at the end of the day, when you've got all these different factions fighting for what their priorities are and you've got all of these things that the American people need, like, you know, the continuation of the Trump tax cuts, border security, you know,

00:08:34.160 everything that the president has taxed Pete Hegseth to do with the Department of Defense, we knew it was going to come.

00:08:41.480 We knew it was going to turn into, you know, this this bill that kind of resembles in many ways omnibuses, CRs.

00:08:49.040 And it's just it's going to be it's going to have some great things in it, but it's also going to be loaded with a lot of things that, you know,

00:08:56.320 the war room posity and, you know, more conservative constituents in this country don't support.

00:09:02.120 And that's that's where we're at right now.

00:09:05.080 And like I like I told you, there was only one thing that I saw that was going to change the trajectory.

00:09:11.320 And that's if, you know, the president, you know, pulled the leadership from the House and the Senate in a room and said, hey, this is a priority.

00:09:18.840 We're going to balance the budget.

00:09:20.600 You're either going to come up with a plan on how you're going to do that, or I will find somebody that will.

00:09:26.020 Because one of the only things that works in this town, Steve, is political force.

00:09:31.400 And nobody has more political force than the president of the United States.

00:09:35.820 You guys know that on your show.

00:09:37.920 And it's one of the reasons why, you know, I told you that early on in this Congress that that's what I saw playing out.

00:09:46.120 Ron Johnson.

00:09:47.140 Ron Johnson is advocating right now this afternoon before he came on.

00:09:51.060 He's advocating all day that we've got to go to the two bill.

00:09:54.040 This is whatever you guys were in the House is just not going to pass in the Senate.

00:09:57.040 And he's putting up the flare right now to say if we don't want a total debacle, right, of having something that can't pass or takes out all summer and you're in the fall before you vote, you've got to bifurcate that now.

00:10:09.420 Is there any appetite in the House to back Senator Johnson's place, sir?

00:10:15.720 I think there's appetite from a few of us, Steve, but not the House as a whole and definitely not our leadership.

00:10:23.240 Our leadership has won one big, beautiful bill the entire time.

00:10:26.900 They've been advocating it the entire time.

00:10:29.580 And, you know, Steve, I want to go back and I want to let the posse in on one of the most influential conversations, eye-opening conversations that I've had in this Congress.

00:10:40.900 Several of us from the House Freedom Caucus flew down to Florida probably about two and a half months ago.

00:10:46.560 We were at a CPI event.

00:10:48.240 You have many of the CPI folks on your show.

00:10:50.680 That's the Conservative Partner Institute.

00:10:53.120 We had an individual in there.

00:10:55.460 That's Jim DeMint and Mark Meadows, and they're one of the big groups like CRA, Heritage, Project 25, America First Law, America First Policy.

00:11:05.120 They're one of the big – they're one of the top five big hitters.

00:11:07.360 Keep going.

00:11:08.520 Yes, sir.

00:11:08.920 And there was an individual who was a Ph.D. in economics who worked in the Trump-1 administration.

00:11:16.340 And like many of your viewers, Steve, I've always wondered, what's the number?

00:11:19.900 Is it, you know, $40 trillion?

00:11:22.120 Is it $45 trillion?

00:11:24.160 Is it $50 trillion that this house of cards finally collapses?

00:11:28.580 And he told us in that meeting, he said, according to my modeling, which matches many of the other big models out there that are well-respected around the world,

00:11:37.320 we have about $17 trillion left in debt cap before we can no longer sell our bonds.

00:11:42.680 He said, if you guys extend the Trump tax cuts at the end of this year, that number goes down to $12 trillion.

00:11:48.080 And he said, so basically, if you do the math and you're running $2 trillion deficits, you have about six years, provided that there are no wars, no huge natural disasters, before we can't sell our bonds.

00:11:59.520 And I know you talk about this all the time on your show.

00:12:01.540 Hold on, hold on, hold on. Full stop, full stop, full stop.

00:12:04.720 We're breaking news right here, dude.

00:12:06.100 This is important.

00:12:06.940 By the way, Kenneth Rogoff, we're going to try to get counted.

00:12:10.280 This book is unbelievable.

00:12:11.580 He's the guy that thought up, wrote the classic, this time it's totally different, that went through throughout history when governments in monarchies set,

00:12:21.540 when debt went over percentages of GDP like we are now, every time the finance minister would tell the king, hey, this time it's totally different, I've got to handle this.

00:12:31.580 Every one of them collapsed.

00:12:33.980 Every one.

00:12:34.720 Rogoff's the guy from Harvard.

00:12:36.460 Our dollar, your problem.

00:12:39.240 Another massive study that we're going to get into the rest of the week.

00:12:42.340 I want you to repeat what you just said.

00:12:43.800 Start it at the top and walk us back through that because this is someone smart putting up a flare and you've got to pay attention to this.

00:12:54.260 Give it to me again, Eli.

00:12:56.480 Yeah, Steve.

00:12:57.080 So, you know, I've been a member of the War Room Posse for a long time.

00:13:00.220 And one of the things you guys talk about on this show, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is that this model, this trajectory that we're on is unsustainable.

00:13:08.420 But I never knew what the number was.

00:13:10.240 You know, I knew when I got into office, we were, you know, about $33, $34 trillion in debt.

00:13:16.180 Now we're all the way up to $37 trillion in debt.

00:13:19.260 And so I went down to a CPI conference with many members of the House Freedom Caucus about two and a half months ago.

00:13:25.240 And I was listening to strategy and, you know, what moves we were going to try and make.

00:13:29.600 And they had brought in a Ph.D. in economics.

00:13:33.040 I apologize.

00:13:33.920 I can't remember the guy's name.

00:13:35.460 I think his name was Paul something.

00:13:36.900 He had worked in Trump's first administration, and he said based on his modeling, which was consistent with a couple of the other models that are widely accepted and respected in the country, he said we have $17 trillion left in debt cap before we can no longer sell our – before we can't sell our bonds anymore.

00:13:57.120 And he said if you guys extend the Trump tax cuts at the end of the year, that modeling shows that you now have $12 trillion left in debt cap.

00:14:06.280 And so he said, you know, you do the math.

00:14:09.380 You're running $2 trillion deficits.

00:14:11.720 You have between five to seven years left.

00:14:14.380 And that's provided that there's no new war or no natural disaster that takes place where we have to, you know, start spending more money.

00:14:22.960 And that's just how dire the situation is, and that's why some of us feel like we're on the bridge of the Titanic screaming that we're headed towards, you know, this iceberg.

00:14:32.980 We're trying to turn this wheel, you know, to avoid hitting this iceberg.

00:14:38.180 Okay, so knowing the warning, knowing the warning, knowing the – but knowing the warning in the way that you and Baze can talk to people, that is a warning.

00:14:49.180 We're asking for a $4 trillion lift to the cap that takes us through – it's the old game, take it through a midterm election, got it, or general, got it.

00:14:57.040 But the numbers as exist today, this year, because we accepted the original sin of this to take Biden's budget and – because either they didn't have time to do the work or, more importantly, we couldn't make the tough calls.

00:15:09.260 Let's be honest.

00:15:09.940 This is what the political class has done to us.

00:15:12.040 You add on top of this thing that you guys are working on, this monstrosity, which it is, it's going to blow through the – we're going to be at 40 by, I think, Labor Day of 2026,

00:15:24.040 which, folks, looks to me to be less than a year and a half away.

00:15:28.260 We're going to be at $40 trillion, right, with a trillion and a half dollars of interest or more.

00:15:34.840 And we're going to have to go through another debt ceiling release, and we're on a ticket to $60 trillion, what Andy Biggs is telling us.

00:15:42.860 And the guy's addressing you saying, hey, you're basically one-third of the way there until you're essentially capped out, and the world rejects you as a prime reserve currency.

00:15:51.860 Your thoughts, Eli, why can't – knowing that, why can't we get a wake-up call here and say, hey, we have to get back in the room and make some real cuts here

00:15:59.540 before we really take on the tax cuts, which we need as a supply side, but get people in the room and say, hey, look, defense can't be a sacred cow.

00:16:07.840 And where is Elon's fraud?

00:16:11.260 Where's the fraud in Medicaid?

00:16:12.480 Where's the fraud in the Defense Department?

00:16:13.960 Where's the fraud in Social Security?

00:16:15.300 Where is it?

00:16:15.920 We need every penny.

00:16:17.720 We need to go into the sofas and find every nickel and dime.

00:16:20.580 And so where is that sense of urgency?

00:16:23.200 Because, Eli, I've got to be brutally frank with you.

00:16:26.140 This is one of the reasons I came back from my beloved studios out west to be in the imperial capital.

00:16:32.120 Folks know I don't love being here, but I'm here for a reason, to hammer through, help people hammer through this thing.

00:16:37.600 And I don't get any sense of urgency except on anything related to a big donor.

00:16:42.720 When it's a big donor, they'll carry their water and run around.

00:16:45.780 When it's not related to a big donor, there's no sense of urgency, sir.

00:16:48.680 No, you're right, Stephen.

00:16:50.860 It goes back to what I said earlier.

00:16:52.840 You know, I'm not good at a lot of things, but I'm pretty good at reading the room and watching people in this conference and what motivates them.

00:17:02.800 And I told you and your audience that there's a lot of people up here.

00:17:06.880 They want to be congressmen and senators so bad.

00:17:11.000 Like that's like that's their crowning achievement in life.

00:17:14.300 And they're more concerned over taking the political easy road.

00:17:18.540 And as you talk about managing the decline of this country than they are in doing the right thing, taking having the tough conversation, taking the hard vote and putting themselves maybe in political jeopardy.

00:17:31.320 Because you see what the left is doing right now, even as we talk about reform to some of these programs.

00:17:35.740 I mean, they're raking us over the coals every day and a lot of a lot of members can't handle that pressure and they're unwilling to make these hard choices, have these tough conversations that will put us back on a fiscally responsible track.

00:17:49.700 And it's hard to watch, Steve, but that's just the reality.

00:17:53.220 And I'm not going to come on your show and gaslight you guys any other way.

00:17:57.660 Look, you're a man of deep faith and you're also a gunman.

00:18:02.020 Part of that deep faith, I think, came for the fact that you answered your country's call and became a frontline warrior in combat for us.

00:18:12.180 So what are your thoughts?

00:18:13.900 Where do we go?

00:18:14.600 How do we sort this out?

00:18:15.880 And how can Eli Crane be at the tip of the spear of this?

00:18:20.020 Well, I think there's a couple of ways to sort it out.

00:18:23.560 I mean, I love some of the things that, you know, you guys do on this show.

00:18:29.300 This is an activist show.

00:18:31.420 You know, you've got Grace Chong that developed that app called Bill Blaster, where you guys can light up members of Congress and senators and, you know, let them know that we need to get serious about fiscal responsibility.

00:18:45.780 And this bill doesn't go far enough.

00:18:47.700 You can also light us up about maybe going back to a two bill process, which I think is would be much healthier.

00:18:55.400 You know, those are some of the things that you guys can do.

00:18:59.680 But, you know, Steve, at the end of the day, I understand, you know, the, you know, the environment that I work in.

00:19:07.860 And I also understand that, like I told you in a private conversation several months ago, and, you know, I just said on your show, I think the only way that this changes with the makeup of these two conferences

00:19:21.660 is if the president of the United States makes it a priority and pulls leadership into a room and says we are going to make fiscal responsibility a priority.

00:19:32.100 These are the numbers I want to see because he's got, you know, he's got great guys around him that, you know, like Russ Vogt and others that understand the situation and, you know, have the political and, you know, physical courage to actually implement some of these changes.

00:19:50.180 I honestly think that that's the only way this this thing changes, because there are a lot of members up here that don't have political backbones that were hoping that Elon Musk and Doge could come in and maybe give them some political backbone.

00:20:05.100 And the only thing that, you know, the only thing that really concerns them is holding on to their seat.

00:20:09.420 And so if the president who uses the bully pulpit better than anybody on the planet was, you know, made this a priority and started lighting these folks up and telling leadership, this is this is going to be a priority, we're going to do this.

00:20:22.640 I think that's the only way that this changes.

00:20:27.240 Eli, we're going to have you on, obviously, a lot during this process.

00:20:31.360 Where do people go now to keep up to you with on social media and and your website, everything you're working on?

00:20:37.840 Well, Rep Eli Crane's a good social media for me, Steve.

00:20:42.620 I appreciate everything you guys do, man.

00:20:44.660 And thanks for having me on your show.

00:20:47.140 No, thanks for your any day we can have start in the morning with Andy Biggs and finish in the evening with Eli Crane is a good day in the war room, sir.

00:20:54.280 Appreciate it.

00:20:57.780 Incredible, incredible talent right there.

00:21:00.040 You see the frustration of the Biggs and the Cranes?

00:21:02.540 We're going to get Birchette from Tennessee on here in a moment.

00:21:07.940 I want to go to Spencer Morrison.

00:21:09.120 Spencer, you're coming at it, but from a different angle.

00:21:12.840 And I want your take on where we stand with the Chinese overall deal.

00:21:17.400 You're the reshoring guy.

00:21:19.200 You've been the tariffs guy.

00:21:20.420 And your list of recommendations to Secretary Besant and to the president.

00:21:28.160 You've got the floor, sir.

00:21:30.400 Steve, thanks for having me on the program.

00:21:31.980 I love coming on in a war room.

00:21:35.360 So this trade deal that we have right now, we have to note that it's not a final deal.

00:21:41.040 What the president has done is he's paused the tariffs for 90 days to allow for more time to negotiate with China.

00:21:47.400 So this isn't the final deal.

00:21:48.880 But what's happened is the tariff rates have been lowered.

00:21:52.100 So our tariff rate on China is now 30 percent.

00:21:56.020 Tariffs in China have been lowered to 10 percent.

00:21:59.160 Some goods have been exempted from the tariffs.

00:22:01.300 For example, automobiles are not included.

00:22:04.460 Steel, aluminum.

00:22:06.100 So the tariffs are still high on those goods.

00:22:07.440 But hang on.

00:22:08.020 Hang on.

00:22:08.700 But hang on a second.

00:22:10.400 It's because we still got the 20 percent tariffs from the first term, right?

00:22:14.200 So it's the 20 that Biden would never take off because you can't and never cause price inflation, plus the 20 on fentanyl, of which, by the way, the guy said today.

00:22:24.920 And Scott Besson, I think, put the best face on it.

00:22:26.880 They had the great side meeting in Geneva.

00:22:28.360 But he said, hey, fentanyl is an American problem.

00:22:30.260 Screw them.

00:22:31.640 And the 10.

00:22:33.020 I'm at 50.

00:22:34.040 Am I 20 off?

00:22:35.220 Is my calculation wrong and yours is right?

00:22:37.680 So my reading of the executive order is that the net tariff rates have been reduced to 30 percent.

00:22:47.020 But that's not on all the goods.

00:22:48.460 There's still higher tariffs on certain goods.

00:22:50.460 So this doesn't affect everything.

00:22:51.880 But the reality is, and this is the problem, is that there's a pretty big price difference on a lot of products when you're manufacturing in China.

00:22:59.760 And this is not because the Chinese are more efficient at producing goods.

00:23:02.720 In fact, American workers are significantly more efficient at producing products per man hour than the Chinese. 1.00

00:23:09.100 But the Chinese have all these other sort of non-tariff barriers to entry to their market that lower the cost of their goods.

00:23:15.980 For example, the cost of raw materials in China is about 10 to 15 percent cheaper because they're subsidizing the cost of steel.

00:23:22.840 They're subsidizing the cost of coal and then other raw materials that are going to their product.

00:23:27.440 Power, energy, electricity, 61 percent cheaper in China.

00:23:31.900 So if you're in energy intensive industries, there's big reason to offshore into China.

00:23:36.220 And none of these issues, and this is my problem with the negotiations with China,

00:23:40.360 None of these other externalized costs that make Chinese goods more competitive are being addressed.

00:23:48.320 We're just dealing with sort of an apples-to-apples comparison of tariff rates, but it's bigger than tariff rates.

00:23:53.360 I mean, think about the fact that China steals a minimum, a minimum of $250 billion worth of intellectual property and technology from America every year.

00:24:02.620 That's not being addressed whatsoever.

00:24:05.700 So I think it's great that Secretary Besant is working with the Chinese on some of these issues,

00:24:10.680 but I'm very, very skeptical that China is actually going to come to the table.

00:24:15.000 I mean, you have to remember, China joined the World Troy Door Organization in 2001,

00:24:19.620 and they agreed that they were going to take care of all these issues over 20 years ago,

00:24:23.700 and they haven't done a thing.

00:24:25.360 They haven't listed a finger to help American businesses in 20 years.

00:24:30.200 Americans can still not get into Chinese courts to protect their intellectual property rights.

00:24:36.100 We saw recently with Apple when they said, hey, we're going to divest from China, move some of our factory to India.

00:24:42.060 China says, that's great, but we're keeping the equipment, right?

00:24:45.620 It's like Hotel California.

00:24:47.020 You can check in, but you can never leave.

00:24:49.640 This is the problem with China. 0.99

00:24:51.260 So it's not just about tariffs.

00:24:52.920 This goes to China's business culture, and really it's a culture of theft and lying. 1.00

00:24:59.080 China is in there to industrialize and get to one-up on America. 0.94

00:25:02.860 It's not the Chinese people. 1.00

00:25:03.980 The Lao Ba Jing, it's run by a criminal gang called the Chinese Communist Party.

00:25:08.280 Hang over a second, Spencer.

00:25:08.820 China is a mafia state.

00:25:10.820 It's a mafia state.

00:25:11.840 We're going to take a short break.

00:25:13.400 Spencer Morrison is going to join us, the reshoring guru with the hit new book that's out.

00:25:19.940 The congressman, the great congressman from Tennessee is going to join us here momentarily.

00:25:25.060 Spencer's going to stick around.

00:25:26.040 Also have a developing story on this situation with the CCP's partner south of the border.

00:25:33.820 That would be the cartels.

00:25:35.320 They just told us to put it where the sun don't shine today.

00:25:38.700 The guy goes, fentanyl?

00:25:39.760 That's an American problem. 0.89

00:25:40.820 So that's why Secretary Bessett and Jameson, when they brought the other guy over in meaningful discussions, the CCP is tapping us along when it comes to fentanyl.

00:25:50.580 They're running a second opium war.

00:25:53.660 The first opium war was horrible, what the Brits did with the opium into China to kind of break China open and break Chinese culture and civilization. 0.90

00:26:03.340 Not a good thing.

00:26:04.700 But the Chinese are quite smart.

00:26:06.640 They took it, and they're running it on us.

00:26:08.100 Birchgold.com, this all ties back to the end of the dollar empire.

00:26:14.200 This talks about the Chinese Communist Party, the thugs trying to take away most favored, take away the prime reserve currency. 0.57

00:26:22.600 Not that we don't need to have a national conversation about that.

00:26:25.800 And maybe the midterms of 28 is the time to have it.

00:26:28.560 We're going to try to do it here every day.

00:26:38.200 We're heading there.

00:26:40.020 Well, actually, I think Philip Patton's name definitely may be Dave Brett, if he's so lucky.

00:26:45.280 I don't think, I think if Bannon went to Brazil, I'm not sure Lula and those guys, Morales, I'm not sure.

00:26:51.480 I'd probably be in the cell next to Bolsonaro.

00:26:54.400 Short break.

00:26:55.160 Back in a moment.

00:26:55.780 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.

00:27:16.860 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

00:27:19.980 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

00:27:28.660 While this transition won't not happen overnight.

00:27:31.660 But trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

00:27:34.580 The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:31:04.360 War Room.

00:31:05.040 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:31:07.480 Bannon.

00:31:10.320 Okay, I've got Oscar Romero's on the board.

00:31:14.280 I've got to get to him because he's in a danger zone.

00:31:16.420 I've got Spencer here breaking down what we need to reshore the jobs,

00:31:20.760 which is one of the central parts of this trade war.

00:31:23.480 We're going to get back to you in a second.

00:31:24.460 Congressman Tim Burchard from Tennessee, the volunteer state,

00:31:27.360 one of the railheads of the MAGA movement.

00:31:29.220 But so, Congressman, we've had bigs on a deficit hawk.

00:31:33.720 We have Eli Crane who's kind of like saying, I don't know,

00:31:36.860 I think we've got to break the bill up into two.

00:31:39.820 People look to you as someone serious about all this.

00:31:43.060 Where do we stand with the big, beautiful bill?

00:31:44.920 Where do we stand with the taxes?

00:31:46.320 I mean, give us your guidance right now as we kind of get into it today.

00:31:49.720 Well, thank you for having me back on, Steve.

00:31:51.420 It's a real honor, as always.

00:31:53.160 I feel like the president, some people in Congress are not filling the president in

00:32:00.220 on what's all in the big, beautiful bill.

00:32:02.840 Some of the things that he has wanted taken out, the windmills and all this crazy stuff,

00:32:08.900 I feel like some of that's probably still in there,

00:32:11.480 or they're taking it out over the course of years.

00:32:14.540 And who knows who's going to be in the White House in eight years?

00:32:18.560 I think that it's classic Trump, though.

00:32:22.940 He puts the idea out, and then everybody thinks they're going to pull a fast one over on him.

00:32:29.080 And then at the end, he gets ticked off and finds out about it

00:32:31.860 and takes them out behind the woodshed and cleans house.

00:32:35.860 And I think that's probably what's going to have to happen,

00:32:38.640 because I feel like some of it's out of control.

00:32:41.860 I think the lobbyists, as always, have gotten us.

00:32:45.180 And you were talking about those tariffs earlier.

00:32:48.060 It all goes back to this.

00:32:49.940 The reason the president didn't send the bill to Congress,

00:32:53.800 you got a bunch of these arrogant congressmen that have been here for 20 or 30 years saying,

00:32:58.100 oh, we should have been the ones to do that.

00:32:59.700 Well, dadgummit, why didn't you do that?

00:33:01.500 Why did you not stick it to the Chinese? 1.00

00:33:03.420 And the reason they didn't do it, Steve, is because they're compromised.

00:33:07.040 Top to bottom, this town is owned by the communist Chinese. 0.99

00:33:11.200 They're in our schools.

00:33:13.580 They're in our college institutions.

00:33:15.940 They have these Confucius institutes in our colleges.

00:33:19.540 And all they're known is you're hungry for these.

00:33:21.660 But hang on.

00:33:21.720 Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, slow down.

00:33:23.880 You're dropping a bombshell.

00:33:25.560 I happen to believe this.

00:33:26.640 But you're talking about colleges, universities.

00:33:28.460 You just said this town is compromised.

00:33:30.860 The Chinese Communist Party owns it.

00:33:33.200 Lock, stock, and borrow.

00:33:34.180 What do you mean about that?

00:33:35.160 I mean, through the K Street lobbyists and others,

00:33:39.220 they might not directly know who they're representing

00:33:41.860 or they might not be asking, but dadgummit, they own them.

00:33:45.040 Everything we do, we don't, is built around that.

00:33:49.940 It's built around the communist Chinese.

00:33:52.660 We're chasing these dollars.

00:33:54.940 I've talked to people in some of the top research institutes in our country.

00:33:59.740 And what do they say?

00:34:00.780 Oh, the Chinese communists, I mean, the Chinese nationals or whoever that work for us, 1.00

00:34:06.960 they're not in our secret areas or our highest research parts.

00:34:12.140 But guess where they are?

00:34:13.100 They're right next door.

00:34:15.320 They talk about, I had a meeting with several ranking engineers a couple of weeks ago.

00:34:21.220 I had a nice lunch with them.

00:34:23.520 And they told me, and it's the same thing over and over again.

00:34:28.620 They are compromised.

00:34:29.540 They know it, but they're chasing those dollars.

00:34:32.800 And that's all.

00:34:33.320 They don't care about our dadgum country.

00:34:34.920 All they care about is they're just like the politicians in Washington.

00:34:37.820 All they care about is getting reelected.

00:34:40.160 Let's get through this next cycle.

00:34:42.240 Let's pass this big, beautiful bill that probably has some things in there that we're not aware of.

00:34:48.040 But and then, you know, and just stay in power.

00:34:51.720 And that's what it's all about.

00:34:53.040 Are you saying, are you, hang on, are you accusing

00:34:56.460 American citizens that work at K Street as K Street lobbyists in these law firms?

00:35:02.280 Are you saying essentially that they and they may don't really know who the actual client is or they don't care?

00:35:09.600 So they haven't done the due diligence that the interest of the Chinese Communist Party is infiltrating into bills and infiltrating into the big, beautiful bill to the detriment of the liberty of the American people, sir? 0.55

00:35:21.600 That's why that's why big business, big business.

00:35:25.320 I mean, look at everything you've got.

00:35:26.520 It's made in China.

00:35:27.640 Why in the world do we have some of our top fighters jets in the world?

00:35:33.300 We've been told that they have computer chips that only accessible by the that we can only get through the Chinese.

00:35:38.580 And it was told in several meetings that they were afraid that the Chinese could have the capabilities of turning some of these jets off.

00:35:50.580 And that's the kind of stuff that drives me crazy.

00:35:54.140 And and that is why Trump did not go to Congress to to to to work on this tariff.

00:36:01.100 He just hit it.

00:36:02.280 He hit China hard. 0.97

00:36:03.260 And you're correct.

00:36:04.320 Earlier, you said that or who somebody said they steal our IP, our intellectual property and the way they work.

00:36:09.880 It is they'll they'll we're not we don't have access to their courts.

00:36:14.340 They can come here and just, you know, our trial lawyers will jump on anything in this country.

00:36:18.960 And then we have stuff manufactured over there.

00:36:22.180 And, you know, I say if you want to do business, China, you have to manufacture. 0.99

00:36:25.900 So we do in good faith.

00:36:27.360 And then we notice on Alibaba or some of these sites that somebody's equipment or machinery is being sold at maybe a third less than than what they normally sell it for.

00:36:40.520 And they get on the site.

00:36:41.960 And what's their equipment?

00:36:43.300 But what are they doing?

00:36:44.080 The Chinese are manufacturing it at night with their tooling.

00:36:47.300 And they do this time and time again.

00:36:49.260 And they rip us off.

00:36:51.340 And another couple more interesting.

00:36:53.140 I know I'm running out of time.

00:36:54.720 But how in the world do the Communist Chinese own American farmland in this country? 0.99

00:37:01.300 How do they control any any of our commodities that they do?

00:37:05.220 How do they own property near our military installations?

00:37:08.280 And here's the one that bothers me the most that nobody's paying attention to.

00:37:12.740 How do they run commissaries in our military institutions?

00:37:16.500 And people say, oh, Birchett, they're just selling these guys gum or Coca-Cola's or something.

00:37:20.840 No, hell no.

00:37:22.540 They have control of their they they see their credit cards.

00:37:25.480 They know that, oh, that lieutenant, he flies this jet or or he he's in charge of this, you know, mechanized group or he's an he's a naval officer with this group.

00:37:36.180 And that's how the Chinese all they do is collect data, Mr. Bannon. 0.96

00:37:39.900 And, you know, that and they and they put it in a file and they figure out and they know where our military people are and what our capabilities are.

00:37:48.460 That's what that stupid balloon was.

00:37:50.560 It had really nothing to do.

00:37:52.240 It was 1960s technology.

00:37:54.720 They just wanted to see our response.

00:37:56.520 They want to see our media response.

00:37:58.060 They want to see our executive branch.

00:37:59.680 OK.

00:37:59.880 And they want to see our political response.

00:38:01.380 You're preaching the you're preaching the you're preaching the gospel of the war room, which we said there they've been at war with us.

00:38:07.780 This is why and this is one of my concerns.

00:38:10.080 Spencer's going to join us back here in a second.

00:38:11.420 But if Trump took two years with with Lighthizer, this has to be broom Cohen and Mnuchin out of the way with their failed effort in the early part of the administration.

00:38:23.100 Lighthizer, Jameson Greer, his grundune or his wingman in Navarro for two years, negotiated the most brilliant deal ever with the Chinese Communist Party with Li He at that time, vice premier two years.

00:38:34.840 It took care of all the original sins.

00:38:37.700 After two years in May of 2019, they ripped it up in our face and spit in our face and said, no, it's not that.

00:38:43.520 And next thing you know, they released the Wuhan virus, the pandemic, onto the military games in August, September of 2019. 0.92

00:38:50.320 But when you're so you're preaching to the gospel, you're preaching the gospel of the war room.

00:38:54.080 When you talk to your colleagues on Capitol Hill, do they think you're wearing a tinfoil hat?

00:38:59.880 Yeah, they do.

00:39:00.720 And they laugh because they're getting fat.

00:39:02.780 They're compromised.

00:39:03.560 If Tim Burchard ever writes a book, which I will one day, it's going to be compromised.

00:39:08.020 That'll be the title of it.

00:39:09.540 And I'm going to tell you one other thing that'll explain to this whole deal how this works.

00:39:14.360 I've had a bill up here for two years dealing with the Chinese, you know, these ancestry.coms. 1.00

00:39:20.400 Everybody wants to find out that their ancestors were a king or something over in Africa or England or somewhere, you know.

00:39:27.760 And what we do is you take a swab, you swab your mouth, you send the genetic material off.

00:39:34.200 And then what do they do?

00:39:35.200 They analyze it.

00:39:36.180 Well, the Chinese are buying this material up.

00:39:39.480 And what are they doing with it?

00:39:41.860 They're creating what's called a genome.

00:39:43.380 Now, what they're doing with that genome is, imagine this.

00:39:47.440 Imagine the Chinese have the capabilities of creating a disease or a germ or a bug that just infects women in America of childbearing ages. 1.00

00:39:58.580 That is what they're doing.

00:40:01.360 We've been told that.

00:40:02.740 It's been released.

00:40:04.580 That is how serious this thing is.

00:40:06.260 And the reason I can't get the bill out, K Street lobbyists.

00:40:09.800 The lobbyists don't like it.

00:40:11.420 And how they compromised us, my bill is called the Genetic Privacy Act.

00:40:16.760 Two years in a row, I've tried to get this dadgum thing up, and I can't.

00:40:21.680 And the reason is they said the lobbyists don't like it.

00:40:24.080 And the chairman don't particularly care.

00:40:26.720 But here's the problem.

00:40:28.880 You've got limited government, limited, I'm throwing up the air quotes, limited government Republican chairman that have 30 or 40 or 50 staff members.

00:40:38.480 Is there any way on God's green earth that they know what every one of them are doing?

00:40:42.760 That's where they're compromised.

00:40:45.100 They can get a chairman.

00:40:46.680 That's why every bill that comes up here, and I've started voting against these things, they become a study.

00:40:54.240 Or we're going to get a report back to Congress.

00:40:56.720 Steve, that last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when they show that warehouse where they put the Ark of the Covenant, that's where all those reports go.

00:41:08.300 And so what do they do?

00:41:10.800 You have a—and I've heard chairman say this.

00:41:12.760 Matt Gaetz and I used to talk about this all the time.

00:41:15.500 Chairman will say, I can't pass that because my staff doesn't agree with it.

00:41:20.200 Who elected the dadgum staff?

00:41:22.000 But that's where the compromise lies.

00:41:24.440 And these lobbyists know it.

00:41:25.980 They get the money from whoever.

00:41:28.040 It gets—it's Chinese, obviously, but they don't even know it. 0.73

00:41:32.060 They don't care.

00:41:32.840 It's just cash.

00:41:33.760 It's greed.

00:41:34.740 And it's uncontrolled.

00:41:37.960 Congressman, we've got to bounce, but we're going to have you back on this topic.

00:41:41.540 And I love the idea of the book Compromise.

00:41:43.580 Where do people go to get your social media?

00:41:45.220 And thank you for coming on.

00:41:46.280 We see you on CNN.

00:41:47.320 Now we made you a star.

00:41:49.040 We see you on CNN all the time and MSNBC.

00:41:51.580 You've become like a Mark Twain-type cultural figure.

00:41:55.860 But we're so glad you came back to your roots here in the war room. 0.98

00:41:58.540 Where do people go on your social media, sir?

00:42:01.360 Twitter, at Tim Burton.

00:42:02.640 I'm on Instagram.

00:42:03.540 All the young people know all that stuff.

00:42:05.780 I don't know what it's all on.

00:42:07.080 I've got somebody helping with it now, and we're blowing up.

00:42:10.180 But it's because of you, Steve.

00:42:12.100 Every time I'm out in anywhere, now I'm traveling a little more throughout the country.

00:42:15.960 And people say, dadgum, I wish you'd get back on Steve Bannon.

00:42:19.940 And so I'm glad I'm back with you, brother.

00:42:22.080 Thank you for what you do.

00:42:23.260 God bless you.

00:42:23.980 We love you, Congressman.

00:42:25.920 We'll get you back on here.

00:42:26.860 Thank you, sir.

00:42:28.120 Thank you, brother.

00:42:29.240 Let me go.

00:42:30.720 Spencer, I want to go to Oscar Blue Ramirez.

00:42:33.760 Oscar, to talk about the compromise, the Chinese Communist Party, I think Vice Premier today,

00:42:39.800 said, hey, we hear what happened in Geneva.

00:42:42.500 It's all great.

00:42:43.640 Fentanyl's an American problem.

00:42:46.080 You're down in the middle of this.

00:42:47.480 The partners of the Chinese Communist Party, you just heard Birchett say they've compromised

00:42:51.120 all at Capitol Hill.

00:42:52.300 One of the reasons I think we ain't taking the war to them, the town is flooded with CCP

00:42:58.540 influencers.

00:42:59.800 What's happening down there right now, sir?

00:43:02.560 The violence has been increasing, Steve.

00:43:04.720 Thank you for the invitation.

00:43:05.760 The violence has been increasing.

00:43:07.100 Just yesterday, a mayor was assassinated down south in the state of Veracruz, Mexico.

00:43:13.140 A political candidate mayor.

00:43:14.440 Just remember, everybody, in the year 2024, more than 37 political candidates were assassinated.

00:43:19.520 And again, as we are increasing, this is because of the Trump effect.

00:43:22.620 The Trump has secured the border of human trafficking.

00:43:25.080 It is not a market to the cartels.

00:43:26.820 So the cartels have pivoted back into what is their number one agenda, that is internal

00:43:31.100 violence or internal warfare.

00:43:32.720 And also, the trying to distribute enormous synthetic drugs into an enormous border.

00:43:36.220 Just when Donald Trump just came into office, Steve, and when President Sheinbaum started

00:43:41.780 feeling the pressure about Donald Trump, 758 laboratories have been dismantled of fentanyl

00:43:47.140 and also a methamphetamine.

00:43:48.740 And more than 13,000 aggressors have been arrested.

00:43:52.860 This is the pressure that it has been putting.

00:43:54.460 But also, the violence keeps increasing and increasing and increasing in the northern parts,

00:43:59.380 borders with the United States and also in the central parts of the country, Steve.

00:44:03.340 But, Oscar, Sheinbaum told Trump, I don't need military assistance.

00:44:08.040 I mean, we have, I think, 10,000 combat troops down the border.

00:44:12.220 And since Trump sealed the border, they're essentially down there to drop the hammer on the cartels.

00:44:18.120 Get us up to speed on what's happening there.

00:44:20.580 Well, it's all political.

00:44:21.880 You know, it comes to the Constitution of Mexico that it says that no foreign military can enter the country.

00:44:26.840 But it's up in her decision.

00:44:28.960 If she wants to make it happen, she can make it happen and let, you know,

00:44:32.360 letting the military to come in and completely eradicate and eliminate this problem.

00:44:36.240 We have said it so many times before, Steve.

00:44:38.240 This is not a problem of just campings and drug lords.

00:44:41.120 This is the problem of the real cartel that is practically the dirty politicians that they hold the spider web, 0.89

00:44:46.700 the ones that they have, the million-dollar accounts,

00:44:48.500 and the ones that they move these campings and drug lords like chess pieces,

00:44:52.900 and they put somebody else, you know, in position.

00:44:55.340 Again, this is the real cartel, the ones that need to get exposed and the ones that need to be eliminated.

00:45:00.360 That is the number one problem, why she doesn't want to categorize them as terrorists

00:45:04.040 and why she doesn't want the U.S. military to enter the country of Mexico, 0.99

00:45:07.800 because she knows that it's all corruption, it's all profitable,

00:45:10.520 and it is a million-dollar, multimillion-dollar business.

00:45:13.080 Do you see this violence blowing back over into the United States on this side of the border,

00:45:20.000 or will that happen when we actually start taking military action?

00:45:24.260 You know, good question that you asked, Steve.

00:45:25.660 You know, just yesterday, 17 members of the Chapo Guzman family surrendered themselves

00:45:31.280 and delivered themselves to the DEA, to the authorities of the United States of America.

00:45:36.140 What tells you that?

00:45:37.200 It tells you that, you know, the Chapo Guzman, it is collaborating with, possibly with information to the United States government.

00:45:44.400 You know, no administration in history has had this power to find out, you know, solutions

00:45:50.120 and to find out information on what the cartels and the corrupt government in Mexico has had.

00:45:54.200 They have Chapo Guzman and their power.

00:45:56.060 They have El Mayo Zambada.

00:45:57.080 But also, with these 17 family members of Chapo Guzman delivering themselves to the authorities of the United States,

00:46:03.220 it is possibly going to create a war in the central parts because the opposition cartel is going to feel that they are vulnerable

00:46:09.520 and that they can take power over that.

00:46:11.680 So, you know, there is a lot of fighting.

00:46:13.420 Also, there is a lot of interior fighting.

00:46:15.280 And this, we knew that this was going to increase because of the pressure of Trump.

00:46:20.760 Oscar, we're going to get back with you more on the weekend.

00:46:23.420 I think we couldn't show that.

00:46:24.940 I don't think the footage you showed, some of it was too violent.

00:46:27.780 Where do people go to keep up with you?

00:46:29.060 And you've got to stay safe on this.

00:46:30.340 Now that they put it back in our face, hey, fentanyl is an American problem, fine.

00:46:34.620 We know that.

00:46:35.920 And we're going to deal with it.

00:46:37.280 Oscar, where do people get you on your social media, sir?

00:46:40.460 Thank you for having me.

00:46:41.520 And also, real quick, I just wanted to say the government of the United States just revoked the visa of the governor of Baja.

00:46:48.160 This is the first time that the government of the United States has revoked the visa of the governor of Mexico.

00:46:52.320 And they did it because of, you know, substantial evidence of illicit money in bank accounts like Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

00:46:59.860 This has been an international news.

00:47:02.700 Also, she has openly, we went to the press conference yesterday and she said that this was a crime against women. 0.99

00:47:09.520 Believe it or not.

00:47:10.720 So, you know, the United States is under investigation of suspending and revoking their visa.

00:47:15.720 And thank you for the invitation, sir.

00:47:17.160 You can find me on Oscar Blue Ramirez all around and also Real America's Voice News, sir.

00:47:20.780 Thank you.

00:47:22.780 Oscar, thank you.

00:47:23.820 Thank you so much.

00:47:24.720 Appreciate you, sir.

00:47:26.580 Thank you so much, sir.

00:48:03.440 That's the landing page.

00:48:04.880 You get access to strategic intelligence.

00:48:07.660 It's written for chairman and CEO of the kind of C-suites.

00:48:11.360 You guys are up to speed on it.

00:48:12.720 You'll absolutely love it.

00:48:13.700 Go check it out.

00:48:14.300 He throws in a free book, too, Money ChatGPT.

00:48:17.580 So go check it out today.

00:48:19.180 Spencer Morrison, I'm going to have you back on in the next couple of days.

00:48:22.500 Just listening to Birchett, do you agree, do you think one of the reasons we got this reshoring problem and there's all kind of influence, are the K Street lobbyists, in your mind, working for our enemies?

00:48:34.520 And this is one of the reasons such a heavy lift, to get the factories that they sent over to China back here to the United States, sir?

00:48:42.480 Congressman Birchett is 100 percent right.

00:48:44.760 He's 100 percent right.

00:48:46.100 China is flush with cash.

00:48:47.920 They're flush with cash because of the trade deficit.

00:48:50.620 And he asked a good question.

00:48:51.800 How is China buying up all of this farmland?

00:48:54.200 How are they buying up all of these houses?

00:48:55.640 I'm going to tell you why.

00:48:56.800 Because when we have a trade deficit with China and we have a $300 billion a year trade deficit, we still have to pay for those goods, right?

00:49:04.300 We have to pay for it.

00:49:05.220 And there's only two ways to pay for it if you're not trading goods and services for goods and services.

00:49:08.960 You've got to pay for it by selling assets like farmland, like real estate, corporate shares, or you have to sell debt.

00:49:18.980 So this is a really big problem is that China is flush with $300 billion a year that they're using to buy up American farmland.

00:49:26.840 They're using it to buy up American residential real estate.

00:49:29.460 You wonder why housing prices are going up?

00:49:31.840 It's because Chinese are buying investment properties in all the major American cities.

00:49:35.700 And then on top of that, they're buying up corporate shares.

00:49:38.400 You know, the amount of foreign ownership of Wall Street is now up to 17 percent.

00:49:43.160 China and friends own 17 percent of all of the corporations in America, all of the shares of these corporations.

00:49:49.160 And they're using that as a vector to steal intellectual property because they're getting their operatives in the companies.

00:49:55.380 It's not even really theft because they bought the company.

00:49:57.960 And then they're just pillaging the technology, and then they're dumping the shares after they get the tech.

00:50:01.900 So this is one of the games that China plays.

00:50:04.180 My number is $600 billion a year, but part of that is industrial espionage theft.

00:50:08.920 The others, they force us to give it up when you want to get access to the country.

00:50:12.200 You've got to do a joint venture and put the intellectual property in.

00:50:14.380 I was just talking about the trade deficit.

00:50:16.880 The IP is on top of that.

00:50:18.260 The trade deficit, by the way, $25 trillion, $18 trillion alone is CCP.

00:50:25.020 And, of course, they tell us, oh, it's just a bookkeeping thing.

00:50:27.440 It's just a bookkeeping account.

00:50:28.480 It's BS.

00:50:29.680 Spencer, where do they go to get the book?

00:50:31.240 Where do they go to get your social media?

00:50:32.860 Sir.

00:53:25.660 But about six months ago, we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.

00:53:39.200 So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.

00:53:49.260 So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.

00:53:58.140 For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.

00:54:06.980 And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.

00:54:20.200 So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com.

00:54:25.840 And cheers to your health.
