In this episode, we discuss the firing of Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the implications for the intelligence community. We also discuss the latest on the James firings of Michael Collins and Marie Langen-Reikhoff, and why they should have been fired years ago.
00:04:28.200His, I guess, acting deputy director or director of the NIAID.
00:04:32.560But before we get into all of that, you saw that cold open that I pieced together, all those, you know, brilliant experts that clappers so apoplectic about being fired by Tulsi Gabbard.
00:04:44.820That's the telltale sign that those people should have been fired years ago.
00:04:48.340All those so-called experts, I guess, are so smart.
00:04:50.940They don't even know what, what, 86 stands for.
00:04:57.640But I want to be very clear about one thing.
00:04:59.580It's nice to see all the calls for him to be, what, in prison investigated.
00:05:03.700I know it seems like every agency is doing their rounds.
00:05:07.480The department heads are all on Fox calling for very elaborate investigations into this man.
00:05:13.800Comey should be in prison, sure, but not for social media posts, for Russia collusion, and for working overtime, certainly the first four years of President Trump's administration,
00:05:25.160conspiring against him, against his rights, against the MAGA movement.
00:05:28.920And I'm sure he's only carried those activities since he's been out of office.
00:05:34.880I guess you could just reuse the memes and the slogans.
00:05:46.840But really, I think the buck stops to me.
00:05:49.420I put the blame primarily on House Republicans and on weak Republicans who have allowed and emboldened, if not outright entitled, people like Comey to feel powerful and untouchable enough
00:06:03.140where they can actually post pictures on Instagram calling for the assassination of President Trump.
00:06:11.900I mean, you almost can't even blame him.
00:06:16.860Nothing happened to him after he, I don't know, smeared an entire political candidacy, movement, man, family, you name it, as agents of Russia.
00:06:25.260And if you look at the other attempted or would-be Trump assassins, the ones that actually were able to fire shots or otherwise, have we really gotten any information about House Republicans on that?
00:07:26.420I guess no names were released in that.
00:07:28.360She also seemed to lose a star ditty witness.
00:07:30.960And then I guess his son-in-law, too, was somehow involved, also at DOJ, with the investigation into what happened at Abbey Gate, another successful victory for Joe Biden.
00:07:42.780And I'm not even being, shall we say, post-ironic in my humor when I call it a victory, because as far as I'm concerned for these people, it was a victory.
00:08:48.200I love the rule of law so much I can count.
00:08:50.580I don't even know how many people that I know personally who were thrown in prison for posting memes attacking Hillary Clinton or Obama or Biden or let's not even get into the Jan Sixers or Stephen K. Bannon.
00:09:01.480So I love the rule of law so much that I think Comey should be similarly investigated, maybe even perp walked in what the leg irons and the handcuffs in public like Peter Navarro was.
00:09:25.780If you ever had doubts about whether or not the FBI was actually being weaponized against the American people, which obviously this audience is always ahead of the curve.
00:09:35.200I think at the point in which James Comey is posting pictures outright calling for the assassination of President Trump, I think, I don't know, call me crazy.
00:09:43.920I think we can probably rest, rest the case.
00:13:21.880I think almost no one can keep up with what the president is doing.
00:13:24.860And, you know, even, you know, the sort of liberal foreign policy clarity is commending the shock results that we're seeing here.
00:13:34.620I mean, I would flag a story that occurred overnight in Axios, where they interviewed a number of Biden Mideast officials.
00:13:42.900And, you know, a lot of people went on record, Ben Rhodes, who worked for Obama, others, figures sort of commending just the sheer breadth and boldness and swiftness of the results that occurred here.
00:13:57.900I'm just curious, why do you think they were able to pull this off?
00:14:02.860Is this something that it's the ideology, right?
00:14:06.960They love the idea of sort of rebuking the neocons, like he kind of infamously said on the stage.
00:14:11.960Or is this sort of a person and I'm sure it's not mutually exclusive, but is there also sort of a personality element?
00:14:17.680I mean, I think Steve's been saying on warm time and time again, you know, he's being treated like royalty right there.
00:14:22.920The displays, the pomp and circumstance is something that Biden certainly didn't get.
00:14:26.900I don't think many other American presidents received that.
00:14:29.080But your thoughts on what sort of the motivating factors are that have created or engendered such a historic week?
00:14:37.760Well, I think personality does matter for this president.
00:14:55.720And then also he seems to get on well with the Emir of Qatar.
00:14:59.740And so, you know, I think that's certainly an element.
00:15:02.140But the reality is the reality that Trump inherited when he won re-election in 2024, which is that he's inherited two enormous wars from the previous administration, one in Russia, Ukraine, and one in the broader Middle East.
00:15:17.700I mean, it's very, very, very close to a binary.
00:15:20.240You either escalate in these wars that he didn't start, so, you know, throw more fire on a fire that you condemned in the campaign, or you seek to end them.
00:15:30.040And it seems, you know, that he kind of went back and forth.
00:15:33.220His advisors have tried to push him in different directions, particularly sort of neoconservative elements like Mr. Waltz.
00:15:38.720But I think he clearly has the team he has now.
00:15:56.880I think he's made comments about Gaza talking about the just human catastrophe and just utter abject sadness that is going on there that are sort of not atypical, but just something I don't think that you typically hear, right?
00:16:12.260Sort of the, you know, third rail, I think, in American politics to some extent.
00:16:15.900But also that it was coming out that they weren't necessarily back-channeling with the Israelis when it came to lifting a lot of the serious sanctions or just the developments there.
00:16:26.860Can you sort of speak to that dynamic?
00:16:31.320I mean, another person I would flag, Aaron David Miller, the longtime State Department negotiator, you know, considered very well-informed and close to the Israelis,
00:16:39.740has argued that almost no, maybe no administration in American history has operated this independently of Israel.
00:16:48.560You know, of course, Israel founded in the late 40s.
00:16:50.860There's an argument that parts of the Bush administration, the H.W. Bush administration in the 90s did, but that was kind of a one-off around Jim Baker and the president.
00:16:59.000This is a clear desire to say, hey, this is, number one, what we think is good for America.
00:17:05.380But number two, and I think it was very striking, you know, when he was asked about why he lifted the sanctions on Shiraz, Syria,
00:17:14.020he said, the president said it was, quote, the right thing to do.
00:17:18.060And, you know, this is the kind of language that he's using a little bit more, I would say, since the assassination attempt,
00:17:24.020since the campaign, you know, entering his ninth decade of life soon enough, he's really trying to leave a mark.
00:17:30.920And I think there is, you know, I think a lot of times, you know, the critiques of Trump is that he's very cynical, he's very nihilistic, he's very materialist.
00:17:39.040This is not the actions of a president who, you know, simply wants to cash out and coast after having survived all these things.
00:17:46.360This is the mark of a president who wants to be epoch-defining and redefinitional.
00:18:49.640I mean, Trump says they basically have the germ of a deal.
00:18:52.820And Trump has made pretty clear, despite sort of, I would say, frankly, propaganda to the contrary, that he really only cares about Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
00:19:03.160He said very, very, very, very, very clearly, it's not like we need 30 pages of text.
00:19:14.840Congressional Republicans, Senate hawks anchored around people like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Senator Cotton want 0% enrichment, which is effectively a poison pill for the deal.
00:19:26.500So, again, not defending the Iranian position at all, but the Iranians will walk at a certain level.
00:19:33.380And if the hawks on the hill get their way, they will walk, and then we will be headed to war.
00:19:38.960Trump clearly doesn't want to be the third term of George W. Bush.
00:19:42.940You know, people sell these things in the Situation Room.
00:19:46.820They sell them in think tanks in Washington, D.C.
00:19:48.960But anyone who remembers the 2000s remembers that, you know, once Bush got into the Middle East and once Bush was bombing places in the Middle East, that's all he could do.
00:19:58.360And Trump clearly seems to have an appetite for an off-ran.
00:20:03.160Kurt Mills, thank you for joining us in the War Room.
00:20:05.760As always, if people want to follow you, read your work, the magazine, where can they go to get it?
00:20:11.340Yeah, just check out the website, www.theamericanconservative.com, founded in 2002 against the Iraq War by conservatives anchored around Patrick J. Buchanan.
00:20:21.920You can see my stuff at at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X.
00:20:25.680And, yeah, thank you for the audience.
00:20:29.800Of course, thank you so much for joining us.
00:20:35.940Warren Posse, speaking of threats, kinetic warfare, all those things.
00:20:41.340I want to flag a story for you, if Denver has, we can toss up on screen.
00:20:44.800It's the Reuters thing about very weird technological communications, sort of clandestine, whatever, covert devices being found in batteries and certain technological equipment across the United States,
00:20:59.820at least two senior energy officials, sort of raising the red alarm.
00:21:05.280Obviously, this occurring, I think, in context of what has been developing quite rapidly when it comes to kind of potential for EMP attacks.
00:21:15.800I think you've been seeing what's been going on in Spain, the blackouts, or what's been going on in the Newark airport, what's been going on in Denver.
00:21:23.560And as someone, I guess I have the book, who is a longtime super fan of unrestricted warfare when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:21:35.280When I see all this stuff merged together, it all sets off some red flags, maybe the kind with a few yellow stars, maybe a communist hammer and sickle.
00:21:45.980So all that aside, we're joined by Sam Faddis, who I wanted to bring on, who can break down the story in probably much greater detail than I can.
00:21:53.780Sam, as always, thank you so much for joining us.
00:21:56.120I'm curious to get your sort of top line assessment on this story, the idea that there's these sort of secret Chinese surveillance or batteries or equipment in batteries.
00:22:08.220So this most recent story that you're talking about is that we have found actually several different types of devices in equipment connected to solar farms in the United States, the equipment being manufactured in China.
00:22:26.760So either in the batteries or inverters, other components, they have no legitimate purpose.
00:22:36.280Let's just boil it down to what it is.
00:22:39.620They're there so that the Chinese can remotely kill these solar farms and shut down the power coming from them.
00:22:50.140That's the only reason that's explicitly what it is.
00:22:53.420So they are in advance pre-positioning the gear to let them shut this down.
00:22:59.060And this is, frankly, completely consistent with what we have seen from them as they have done this all across the power grid year after year after year.
00:23:09.540It's also consistent with the hacking of critical infrastructure.
00:23:17.760It isn't to gather data or spy on you.
00:23:19.960It is so they can turn out the lights and everything else that requires electricity in the United States when they choose to.
00:23:27.120There's a great article in The Diplomat talking about how Taiwan, where they were sort of positioned to survive or withstand increasingly, I think, aggressive EMP attacks or just stuff more in the kind of cyber security realm.
00:23:43.400I don't know why I'm old enough to remember when the World Economic Forum was warning us of cyber pandemics, whatever that may be.
00:23:48.720It may be lucky guess or maybe some good old predictive programming.
00:23:52.220But I want to read just a quote from from that article.
00:23:55.780China's in informatized warfare strategy that guides its overall warfighting doctrine, according to the Science of Military Strategy, one of the Central Military Commission's core strategic documents.
00:24:06.400And under the strategy, China seeks to dominate the cyber and electromagnetic domain by quickly disabling essential military and civilian electronic systems.
00:24:16.180I saw, obviously, the convergence, the affinity between sort of all of these stories, one being, I guess, the actual reification of their ideological backing of what is undergirding a lot of their military strategy.
00:24:26.400But I'm just curious if you've seen if this is something that has escalated in terms of, you know, the PRC developing these capabilities, or is it sort of compounded by the fact that especially under Joe Biden, you saw such a pivot to solar, to these sort of green new energy, sort of being a Trojan horse for technologies like these?
00:24:58.680But again, this this thing with the solar farms is just another arm of an effort that's been ongoing for a long time under the first in the first Trump administration.
00:25:08.720There are these giant transformers that are in the power grid, which is really the backbone of the thing.
00:25:14.180And without them, you don't have electricity, which means you don't have modern life.
00:25:18.180And the Chinese have been putting devices in these things for a long time to allow them to kill them.
00:25:24.800When I say kill them, I don't mean shut them off.
00:25:27.420So you just go flip a switch and turn it back on.
00:25:29.680I mean, kill them and they never work again.
00:25:31.440So back in 2019, Donald Trump had one of these things taken off a boat, sent it straight to Sandia National Lab and had them tear it apart.
00:25:41.000So it's not supposition we physically found all this stuff.
00:25:45.280He then subsequently banned the installation of any of these Chinese made large transformers in the net.
00:25:54.540One of the very first things Joe Biden did when he sat down in the White House was lift that ban and begin the reinstallation of these sabotage transformers.
00:26:06.320There are now something like 500 of them.
00:26:09.400By the way, it takes, they're custom made.
00:26:12.960If the Chinese take one out, it could take you five years to order a new one.
00:26:18.420And I think we could guess if they're the ones that crash the grid, they're not sending you a new one anyway.
00:26:24.240But to get it from anywhere, it will take years.
00:26:27.400People need to understand that it's not about they're turning off the lights and maybe it's a couple of days and then everything's back to normal.
00:26:33.560They're turning off the lights and the lights aren't coming back on for the foreseeable future.
00:26:38.640So I always tell people, imagine you're sitting in your house, you got no lights, you got no Internet.
00:26:43.300That means you got no money, you got no banking, all of modern life.
00:26:47.660And Sam, we're coming up against a break.
00:26:49.000If I can hold you through, I'm sure the audience heads are blowing up, no pun intended.
00:29:41.140He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:29:48.760Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:29:57.420Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
00:30:05.820His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:30:17.400Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:30:23.540This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:30:42.600What do you think is motivating this decision by Donald Trump, his administration, and by the Republican Party to double down and triple down on what is just a grievous and grave injustice and affront to the U.S. Constitution, not to mention the absolutely horror that it is for this individual and his family?
00:31:08.720Like, why not just say, OK, let's bring it back?
00:31:12.820Well, I think that the only rational explanation, and I think this is the explanation, is that they want to set the stage for depriving people of their constitutional rights.
00:31:28.180And that is why this is such a dangerous moment, not just for this individual, but for all of us, because if we strip him of his right to do process, it opens everybody up to the same vulnerability.
00:31:41.980But that is the only explanation I can see, Mark, for what they're doing.
00:31:47.540And, you know, you have people like Steve Miller openly talking about, right, ending habeas corpus, suspending the Constitution of the United States, instituting martial law.
00:31:57.520And this is why it is so important that all of us speak up and stand up, because what bullies do and what authoritarian leaders do is they start coming after people they perceive are the most vulnerable.
00:32:10.500And if nobody says anything or nobody stands up against that, then they just keep doing it.
00:32:17.640And that's why we all need to stand up and cheer on those law firms and those colleges and universities that are standing up against Trump's lawlessness.
00:32:28.180And it's also why we have to shame those who are not, who are capitulating, because when they capitulate, they simply give more energy to Donald Trump, who has an insatiable appetite for mowing down people's rights.
00:32:45.220And so I think I think that's what's going on.
00:32:47.460I think they're really testing the limits very deliberately here.
00:32:52.700And that is why, you know, talking about a nine to nothing Supreme Court ruling, as you know, how unusual that is these days, the fact that they're contesting that or trying to trying to duck it.
00:33:04.900Now they're claiming, you know, that they can't provide the judge with information because it's of state secrets.
00:33:12.780I'm quite confident that the judge will see through this ruse, but it just shows the lengths they will go to to lie and deflect.
00:33:22.700All in service to this idea of eroding people's rights, due process rights, and of course, First Amendment rights in all these cases where they're going after students for exercising free speech.
00:33:32.800You are back in the war room where, of course, you always got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon, texting Bannon to 989898, where you can get your copy of the ultimate guide for gold in the Trump era, the golden age gold.
00:33:48.160I'm just saying it's a nice, nice interplay there.
00:33:51.300What you just watched, two people who have perverted what it means to call themselves patriots.
00:33:56.100That is Senator Chris Van Hollen of MS-13 fame, beloved, I guess MS-13's favorite senator, and Mark Elias, probably also MS-13's favorite election activist.
00:34:07.300Not just because he lobbied for the Clinton campaign to take foreign cash, but those two clowns are talking about how the biggest threat to democracy and, I guess, your constitutional rights and ability to live right now is President Donald J. Trump.
00:34:22.000For those of you who are watching the previous segment, I would put my money on the Chinese Communist Party, what they're doing with EMPs, these transformers, everything they've done to infiltrate and invade this country, frankly, kinetically, but certainly.
00:34:34.500Otherwise, it's idiots like that that have allowed the PRC to, so I would say, adeptly and swiftly, I mean, I use the term invade loosely because they don't like kinetic warfare, but, you know, Chinese spy balloons, thousands of Chinese nationals at the southern border.
00:34:50.660I don't know, suddenly all these airports having weird technological difficulties, all the trade derailments, I don't know, I'm kind of inclined to say invade, but hey, if you ask Mark Elias of election hacking fame and Senator Van Hollen, the largest threat is you guys, the MAGA movement, because apparently you don't want to be neighbors with a bunch of criminal gangbangers, you know, twice deported, twice adjudicated.
00:35:11.740And yes, I will use the word convicted, because he was, Kilmar Garcia, maybe he'll be the Democrats' 2028 nominee, probably.
00:35:21.400Maybe they'll roll him out at one of those AOC and Bernie rallies, he'd probably get a round of applause.
00:35:26.560We are still joined by Sam Faddis, don't worry, we're going to get to the Fauci stuff in a bit.
00:35:32.940But I'm curious, Sam, when you're talking about these transformers and what they're doing to sort of, I guess, invade or just infiltrate very high tech,
00:35:41.060it's obviously part of what is it, they're not just made in China 2025 stuff, but they're, you know, 2035 ambition to get ahead from a technological purview.
00:35:49.300Have we ever actually seen any of these things detonated?
00:35:53.380I use that term loosely, but is this all just sort of advancing?
00:35:56.500Is this something that's going to be used in the future?
00:35:58.800Or are there any examples that you can point to?
00:36:01.180Like I was sort of bringing up some of these weird train derailments or some of the weird network and blackouts, outages, stuff like that.
00:36:07.360Is that related to that or is that just, you know, an insufficient grid?
00:36:12.060What's your take on the, I would say, likelihood of these being used?
00:36:18.200Yeah, well, the short answer to that is we don't know, but then we haven't really been looking very hard, right?
00:36:51.020Back almost 20 years ago now, we did a test.
00:36:56.160We, the U.S. government, took one of these large transformers, set it up, I think, at the Idaho National Lab, hacked it, and physically destroyed it.
00:39:38.500An honor to be joined now by someone whose work I have loved for a very long time.
00:39:46.860I think it's your first time on War Room.
00:39:49.980Emily Kopp, who's now with The Daily Caller.
00:39:52.920But you did absolutely wonderful reporting on all things Peter Dorschach, origins of COVID, gain-of-function research, which we're going to get into that.
00:40:01.240But you have a new story up, quite a bombshell on essentially who is the replacement for Anthony Fauci.
00:40:10.440We'll roll the clip to start because it's kind of scary.
00:40:13.080And I want you to contextualize who this guy is, what they're pushing for, and the concerns that you have and that our audience will probably share.
00:52:27.940It helps control appetite and cravings, and it helps burn fat by converting fat into energy.
00:52:34.840Listen, if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, if you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, Lean was created for you.
00:52:42.740Let me get you started with 20% off when you enter Bannon20.
00:52:46.220That's B-A-N-N-O-N-20 at TakeLean.com.
00:53:01.960But 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.
00:53:13.300So, 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.
00:53:24.820So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:53:32.380For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:53:42.680And, 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.
00:53:55.220So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to SacredHumanHealth.com.
