1. Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum Against CCP

Timestamp: [00:22] - [10:50]

The episode kicks off with a powerful declaration from Stephen K. Bannon highlighting the urgency of President Trump's actions against the CCP:

“Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.” – Steve Bannon [00:33]

Frank Gaffney elaborates on the memorandum Trump signed, clarifying it as a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) rather than an executive order. This memorandum significantly restricts the CCP's ability to invest in U.S. capital markets, targeting companies involved in the military-civil fusion strategy of China. Gaffney emphasizes the memorandum's breadth, addressing not only financial access but also investments in farmland and infrastructure that could bolster the CCP's strategic position.

“We are going to restrict the Chinese Communist Party's access, specifically any of these companies that are in the military civil fusion business, to the kind of money that they've been getting.” – Frank Gaffney [04:59]

2. Implications for US Capital Markets and Economic Warfare

Timestamp: [05:11] - [10:50]

Gaffney discusses the historical context, referencing Joe Biden's 2013 efforts to grant the CCP preferential access to U.S. capital markets. He criticizes this arrangement as a major financial scandal that benefitted the CCP at the expense of American investors and national security.

“This memorandum speaks explicitly of what has happened to this country as a result of the Chinese having several different deals cut, one of which was to allow them into the World Trade Organization.” – Frank Gaffney [05:11]

The memorandum is portrayed as a strategic move to rebalance economic relations and mitigate the CCP’s influence by enforcing reciprocity in investment practices.

3. Potential CCP Retaliation and Strategic Responses

Timestamp: [07:56] - [10:50]

Addressing concerns about CCP retaliation, Gaffney anticipates economic and financial backlash rather than immediate military conflict. He advises President Trump to brace for potential lawsuits and increased scrutiny of Wall Street entities that facilitated CCP investments.

“Look for quite possibly, I think, tort lawyers to get engaged here in the kind of lawsuits, class action lawsuits that would bring Wall street to heel right quick.” – Frank Gaffney [07:56]

Gaffney underscores the importance of the memorandum as a declaration of intent to thwart the CCP’s economic strategies and protect American interests.

4. European Political Shifts: The Rise of Alternative for Deutschland (AfD)

Timestamp: [28:39] - [36:43]

The conversation shifts to Europe, particularly Germany, where the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) has made significant electoral gains. Bannon and Harnwell draw parallels between the AfD's surge and the MAGA movement in the United States, highlighting a similar dissatisfaction with traditional political elites and a push for nationalist policies.

“Compare 2021, which was the last federal election, with the one yesterday, and you'll see that the AFD picked up 4.4 million votes… that's where the AFD's vote comes from.” – Stephen K. Bannon [35:06]

Harnwell attributes the AfD’s success to broad discontent among voters, including those who previously abstained from voting, and criticizes European elites for their disconnect from ordinary citizens.

“The elites are always trying to entangle the party of Davos, the Brussels crowd.” – Ben Harnwell [39:02]

5. Media Critique and Mainstream Media's Collapse

Timestamp: [36:43] - [40:51]

Bannon and Harnwell express strong criticism of mainstream media outlets, accusing them of bias and ineffectiveness in covering significant political shifts. They argue that traditional media is collapsing under the pressure of new political dynamics and losing credibility among the public.

“The mainstream media, the mainstream media, is collapsing before your eyes. Collapse. It's actually shocking.” – Ben Harnwell [40:47]

Bannon adds that this decline is a direct result of the media's failure to adapt to changing political landscapes and its inability to effectively counteract the narratives pushed by nationalist movements.

6. US Economic Policy and Supply Chain Reorientation

Timestamp: [10:50] - [14:58]

Frank Gaffney discusses the broader economic strategies accompanying the memorandum, including efforts to reshape U.S. supply chains away from China. He mentions Apple's investment in the U.S. as a prime example of companies responding to Trump's directives to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities.

“Apple is going to be investing 500 billion across the United States as early fruit of this reorientation into America's own supply chain capacity out of China.” – Frank Gaffney [12:40]

Gaffney emphasizes the administration's focus on reducing dependency on China by incentivizing domestic production and securing critical supply chains.

7. Geostrategic Negotiations and Peace Initiatives

Timestamp: [40:51] - [44:08]

The episode touches on ongoing geostrategic negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and European leaders. Bannon discusses President Trump's approach to securing peace in Europe while balancing relationships with Russia and addressing European Union dynamics.

“This is a major geostrategic, geoeconomic pivot. This is as important as the end of World War II.” – Stephen K. Bannon [44:08]

Bannon asserts that Trump's policies are pivotal in reshaping the geopolitical landscape, aiming to bring stability and reassert U.S. influence in European affairs.

8. Conclusion and Future Directions

Timestamp: [45:21] - [55:33]

In wrapping up, Bannon reiterates the significance of Trump's memorandum and the need for continued vigilance against the CCP's economic strategies. He urges listeners to support initiatives that further dismantle CCP influence and bolster American sovereignty.

“Phi Philip Patrick and themes to go to Birchgold today…” – Stephen K. Bannon [35:06]

The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to engage with policy changes and support efforts that align with the administration's goals to protect national interests and promote economic independence.

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going.

[Ben Harnwell]

Medieval on these people.

[Steve Bannon]

Reasons I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

[Ben Harnwell]

It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these had a conscience.

[Steve Bannon]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Frank Gaffney]

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, one of the beauties of live television is that there are occasionally live, unforeseen moment. Steve stepped out just for a moment. He will be back very shortly. We're joined with Frank Gaffney from the Committee of the Present Danger, great pal of the war. And Frank, welcome back onto the show. Tell me something about this. Is it a memorandum or an executive order that President Trump signed on Friday? I believe that he has now prohibited the possibility of the CCP from, from investing in U.S. capital markets. That's obviously going to be a great win for maga, for the MAGA audience, and they can be very justly proud of providing the push behind. Tell me a bit about that, though. Technically, is it a memorandum or an executive order? And what exactly did President Trump commit to on Friday?

[Frank Gaffney]

It is a huge deal and I think a great win for the War Room in particular, as Steve has been a leader on trying to rectify what has been one of the greatest financial scandals in all of human history, and that was that the United States investors have mostly unwittingly for years now, been having their funds, especially if they're in emerging market portfolios, transferred mostly without their knowledge, into companies owned and operated or otherwise under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party. And that would include, by the way, companies that are very explicitly working for the People's Liberation Army. It would also, of course, as we know here in the War Room, essentially apply to all other companies in the Chinese, you know, regime because they all are part of what's called the military civil fusion, which means they all must serve the military. So what the president did on Friday was he signed what's called a National Security Presidential Memorandum, nspm. That is extraordinary. It's quite broad in terms of its focus. It is not just about the capital market access that the Chinese have enjoyed Basically, since May of 2013, when a fellow, you may remember by the name of Joe Biden, he was then Vice President of the United States, and he helped engineer, as was his want, of course, corruptly, I'm sure, a deal whereby the Chinese Communist Party was allowed to have preferential access to our capital markets. In other words, they were given the opportunity to put their stocks, or for that matter, bonds and other things into our capital markets without having to comply with our laws or our regulations. That's something, by the way, no American company could, or for that matter, other foreign companies could do. But Joe Biden got a sweetheart deal. And what I think the President has said in this direction, it's a statement of intent. It's not an executive order, but it is a statement of very, very clear intent. We are going to restrict the Chinese Communist Party's access, specifically any of these companies that are in the military civil fusion business, to the kind of money that they've been getting. And that, by the way, has transformed the Chinese Communist Party into a mortal enemy that is extraordinarily powerful, not only in a host of other areas like the economics and manufacturing and trade and so on, but military power has, well been to the point, as you know, where they may well be ready to go to a shooting war.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Frank Gaffey, this is massive. But let me ask you, are the World Trade Organization implications here? There are executive memorandum.

[Ben Harnwell]

Yes.

[Frank Gaffney]

The memorandum speaks explicitly of what has happened to this country as a result of the Chinese having several different deals cut, one of which was to allow them into the World Trade Organization. So I think all of these aspects, and by the way, it's the purchase of farmland, it's investing here on their part. All of this is going to be under, I believe, a totally new regiment. Because, Ben, as you know, the Chinese have engaged for decades in unrestricted warfare against this country. Back in May of 2019, they actually declared on the pages of their top propaganda outlet, the People's Daily, that they announced, they declared they are engaged in a people's war, a whole of society war, against our country. I'm fond of saying that in the intelligence business, there's a term for these things. They're clues. These people are at war with us. It's no laughing matter, of course, except the extent to which it is absurd that most Americans still do not know that Donald Trump has rendered an incalculably important service, I believe, by describing the Chinese very directly as a foreign adversary of our country and directing all of the relevant departments to get on the stick right now to curb their access to our capital markets, curb their access to our farmland, curb their access to investment in our country that does not serve the interests of the United States but actually serves theirs. He says very explicitly, this is in part about reciprocity. We're not allowed to own shares in their companies. As a practical matter, they should not be entitled to do it here or in fact have their companies on our markets if they are in fact engaged in activities that are absolutely inimical to the security and well being of the American people, to say nothing of the investors whose, you know, interest in having those investments for their pensions and so on is very much at risk as well.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Frank, Beijing has already responded to this executive presidential order calling it discriminatory and promising that they were going to retaliate. What have you picked? The CCP will retaliate. And how might the Trump administration, how might you advise President, President Trump to be prepared for these incoming retaliations?

[Frank Gaffney]

Well, it's a good question, Ben. I mean, look, I believe they are at the cusp of a shooting war with us. So conceivably that could be the option. But more likely I think they're going to try to fashion some kind of economic or financial retaliation. And all I can say is bring it because I believe, and I think Steve does as well, our colleague Roger Robinson, the great Maria Bartiromo, FOX News, who's done two sensational specials on the folly of underwriting the enemy, which is what we are engaged in here. These are folks who are, I think, prepared to make sure that Wall street stops doing just that, making more dangerous this adversary. And if the Chinese want to punish those Wall street guys, so be it. If they want to try to effect harm to American investors, well, they've been warned. They've been repeatedly warned and they are going to have, I believe, grounds for holding accountable the blackrocks and the state streets and the fidelities and the vanguards who have incessantly been pouring their money into these unaccountable, non transparent and actually dangerous Chinese companies. Look for quite possibly, I think, tort lawyers to get engaged here in the kind of lawsuits, class action lawsuits that would bring Wall street to heel right quick. But the president has just to be greatly appreciated for what he's done here. He has finally said all this unrestricted warfare, all this people's war going to fight back now. And that is going to entail stopping the practice of making our most dangerous enemy more capable, more powerful and more dangerous. And this is a moment that I believe our committee on the present danger China. Roger Robinson, the War Room, Maria Bartiromo and so many more. Steve Bannon most especially need to glory in and appreciate Donald Trump for his leadership as always.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Frank, we're just a couple of minutes away from the break here, but my final question to you on this subject. This national security presidential memorandum which has been received very well. Tell me what you think the next steps would be on behalf of the United States in conjunction with this economic warfare that is being waged by the CCP against the United States. What should the Trump administration really be looking to do to build on this memorandum?

[Frank Gaffney]

Yeah, it's a key question, Ben. The memorandum, to be clear, is basically a statement of presidential intent directive to all of, as I say, the relevant agencies and in very explicit terms, by the way. But we now need the teeth, we now need the implementation to be pursued aggressively. And we've got a couple of ideas for starting with getting rid of this memorandum of understanding that Joe Biden negotiated back in 2013. That is the root of so many of these problems. Once that's gone, they no longer have the benefit of just ignoring our laws and our regulations. We want to get rid of the A shares that are now populating our markets, corporate and sovereign bonds, the so called variable interest entities. Entities, this is referred to, but it's under study. These are the sorts of steps, including the over the counter market that now need to be taken down as well. And I think this is very much in the interest of of course, the investors themselves, but also the American people more generally and indeed our country.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The President, I think, said that he was going to work to deter American investment in the Chinese military industrial sector. Do you see this memorandum coming as it did, I think three weeks on top of the 10% tariffs that the US just raised against China. Do you see the announcement today that Apple is going to be investing 500 billion across the United States as early fruit of this reorientation into America's own supply chain capacity out of China?

[Frank Gaffney]

No doubt about it, Ben. It's not necessarily responding to this late breaking news, but certainly the direction that the President has given to this point. He said, as you know very clearly, we are going to reward entities that are doing business in America and we're going to punish entities that decide they want to continue, you know, manufacturing trying to sell us expensive, you know, export to us from China. And I think Apple read that loud and clear and praise the Lord. Let's hope it's the beginning of mass reshoring as we need of industrial capabilities in this country. And by the way, not least, you know, one of our Committee on the Present Danger China webinars, which people can [e-mail] recently looked at the supply chain dependencies, even the United States military military has on China. This is truly insane. We've got to get rid of that as much as possible. And I think the larger direction of the President has been extraordinarily helpful in that regard. Now we need to see it implemented faithfully and fully. No more funny business with Wall Street. And I think Scott Besant at the Treasury Department is the man to help stand up to that. Let's get this done right away.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Shrine that's thanks very much for that. Lotus. Before you go, would you kindly recite your socials for the War in Posse? Where can they go to stay in touch with this outstanding analysis that you're pushing out constantly with regards to the ccp, the great mortal threat to the United States today.

[Steve Bannon]

I'll be sure have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not talking recession, I mean depression. By the year 2030, we're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base.

[Ben Harnwell]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Okay, welcome back, Ben. Thanks for handling that for me. And I'm gonna spend some time with Gaffney this afternoon. The same with the president. And I think you have to look at his whole cloth. The this initiative coming out of the White House on Friday, the America first investment policy. And I think this is going to go deeper about buying, you know, the Chinese Communist Party CCP affiliate people buying farmland, buying around our bases. That is the strongest we've seen to the, the threat of decoupling or the actual, the implementation of decoupling they've been working on a while. I mean this is a Scott Besant, Peter Navarro, obviously President Trump, I mean this has been one of his things from the beginning, even from the first term. Apple is clearly part of that. This is massive. And Apple is known as a leader also. They're known as amazingly focused on the bottom line. They would never do anything for charity. They would never put patriotism in front of profits, which makes us all the more powerful. And President Trump, you see the backing. I think people want more and more action like this. I think they like this. I think this is also to put it in context, this whole discussion he's having now with Russia. And you have to look at, I think the Ukraine situation, although I may not be crazy, here's my concern about it is the, is the Europeans. Ben Horn was the Europeans, to me, they're not reliable. Not the people in Europe. I'm talking about the leaders and the elites over there which always look down their nose at the United States and just have and here's a perfect example. You know, President Trump, he said a couple times over this and he said it at CPAC. His speech, his number's $350 billion. We put in now, Ben, I was at 250 plus to 280 and the Europeans basically had 100 billion just north of that. He's at 350 and 100. And yet it's being played up Over MSNBC on the weekend talking about this. Oh, the Europeans put in more money. They haven't. The reason Macron's at the White House today is they're trying to entangle President Trump. Now, he's too smart for that. But they're. My point on anything dealing with Ukraine and Europe right now is that they will try to leave us holding the bag. Now, President Trump's too smart for that. He's too good a negotiator. Plus, he's got Witkoff and Bessen. So, I mean, and that's why I think this alternative for Deutschland is such a huge development. And remember, they've doubled. They've doubled their representation in four years to now over slightly over 20%. And the Christian Democrats, who are supposed to be a center right, which are really. They're just a globalist, they're like the Tories. They pretend to be conservatives, but they're globalists, they will not allow ADF into the AfD, into the government. There's not gonna be a coalition of the center right. And the kind of. The farther right. That's how much the. That's how much the globalists in Germany hate kind of what the MAGA movement stands for. So with President Trump, I mean, this Ukraine thing is part of, obviously, a bigger, you know, peace package, which is, I think, finally, we bring peace to Europe From August of 1914, you really now have a shot at peace, and we can put our weapons down. So in that regard, I just don't trust the Europeans. People say, oh, you're. Hey, I think the Russians could be much more straightforward. You know, they're up in your grill. You know where they're coming from. The Europeans are shifty and sneaky and always trying to. The elites are always trying to entangle the party of Davos, the Brussels crowd. And Ben, you've known this. You worked over in the European part, not just worked in the regular parliament, you worked in the European Parliament. You know, what the hell?

[Frank Gaffney]

They.

[Ben Harnwell]

They kind of. They look down their nose at the United States, Ben Harnwell.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

They do, yeah. And they look. And by the way, Europeans, the European elites also look down their noses at American, ordinary, regular working Americans as well. It's patronizing and it's disgusting. Look, this thing about in Germany yesterday can't be overemphasized. Germany is the most important member state of the European Union by far. It's the largest population, largest economy. Interestingly enough, Friedrich Metz, the new Reichs councillor, is very much in the Atlanticist mode. He's if you considered him to be the German equivalent of phoney Meloni, you wouldn't be going far wrong. He was constantly criticizing Olaf Scholz for not allowing the use of German provided long range missiles to be fired by Zelenskyy deep in into Russia. Metz very much wanted that escalation. The interesting thing however, with this yesterday, and we touched on this on the show last week about this discussion that was being floated to amend what is their de facto constitution to allow them to take on more debt. Is that the result the German people have? Whether they decided to do this or they didn't decide to do this? The upshot of yesterday is that that's going to be very difficult now because the left have already come out, made a statement today. This is Olaf Schultz's party, the Social Democrat Party. They've said that they are open to amending Germany's basic law, but only on the condition that the increased debt that they take on for increased public spending is used on German infrastructure. They're absolutely against sending that money to Ukraine, as is of course the AfD. So even though they've got the Atlanticist in that the sociopathic overlords wanted, he's going to have his hands tied to some extent. Now why is that important? Because in the great conversation of exactly what the European Union is going to be doing now with regard to taking over from America with the most important economy, it moves to Macron. And let me make this point please, Steve, because I think it's going to ask me. Sure, Emmanuel Macron at the White House today and he's there basically not only in his own name but also in the name of Keir Starmer pushing for this backstop. Now I would have said two weeks ago, the Europeans are on a hiding to nothing here. I'm no longer that confident because if that, if Scott Besant gets his way with this, this treaty with regards to the rare earths and the minerals that is actually going to bind in America into Ukraine, it will turn Ukraine into a protectorate in your absence. Just before the break we had Denver. If you just kind of pull back the second asset. Here's the headline from the Mining Weekly publication which says explicitly and here's the headline once again, Zelensky says US Minerals deal must include military guarantees. The Ukrainians are absolutely determined on this point. So whilst the conversation is moving towards the Europeans, what's actually happening behind the scenes is that the US is going to be even more engaged up on the eastern frontier of the European Union towards Russia than it was before the invasion Yeah.

[Ben Harnwell]

I think President Trump though has been pretty adamant about these security guarantees. So we'll have to say it plays out, you know, best since a smart guy. The deal does have 500 billion come back to us. I think one of the things President Trump's most upset about I want to go back to this 100 billion and 350 billion. The 100 billion it turns out now whatever the Europeans is done as a loan. The United States were just done as grants, not loans. So he's trying to figure out a way to at least get our cash back. I want to go to Germany for a second because it's AFD in context of the Ukraine situation. This is a lesson here for the people of the United States. You know, Germany is an advanced industrial I would argue next to the United States it's the most advanced industrial power or it once was much more so than China. Right. Russia not even the top league of that. Right. Maybe France and Italy are next but they had a nervous breakdown. You know Dave Walsh has been on here been on the show for so long talking about how their net carbon zero and the Green New Deal they kind of Greta Thunberg of it all really had them do an energy policy that destroyed their industrial power, their ability to it made costs so high and then when the Russians cut them off they went in a freefall. On top of that Merkel was the open borders to invite the entire was it back in 14 in the Syria the Syrian situation over their borders total open borders, total open arms to to to to millions and millions of these migrants at the same time becoming a deindustrializing. This is why this is what the revolt of the alternative for Deutschland people are. It's not just immigration. It's that the elites in the country have been on kind of a suicide mission. Very similar here in the United States. The policies were only difference in degree, not in kind. This is the same type of thing you find under the Biden regime. Just absolutely, you know it's something that's tearing down, you know, energy policy that's insane. And to bring in I don't know, 10 to 12 million illegal alien invaders. Now they used it to depress try to pass away depress wages among working class people. But here's that's the mess you've got and I think this is very important is that the centrist parties the equivalent of the Tories or the Rhino Republicans have no interest. If you put alternate for Deutschland and the Christian Democrats together you'd have almost 50% in parliament. Right you could put together just for those two. They refuse to do it. They're going to partner with the center left. Ben they would rather, and this goes to the never Trump element here, they would rather work with Democrats. They'd rather campaign with Kamala Harris than to back President Trump. That's what just it's absolutely breathtaking. President Trump also with our sponsor Birch Gold. President Trump's doubled down I think again today about going to Fort Knox. He's now said he's going to go with Elon Musk. He wants to see all the gold. So this is getting to be more and more interesting. He's not taking the auto reports they do as at least an overview of the gold. He's actually wants to go to Fort Knox and see it. Birchgold.com/ban an end of the dollar empire we're coming out with something very special. We didn't quite make CPAC because we're still pulling it together. I think you're gonna love it. You love understanding global capital markets and why gold is a hedge. Or you can go to nine. Just take your phone out.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, huge day at the White House. Huge day for President Trump. This poll's out, the Harvard Harris poll wind to his back right now for the American people. Big story in the Hill newspaper today about the donors are cutting off the Democratic Party. They just think it's a complete fiasco. And you've seen Joy Ann Reid get canceled. President Trump comes out and says she's an obnoxious racist. So he thinks it's good that they canceled it. They're putting up the kind of the counter program they do on Saturday mornings called the Weekend. They're taking that show counterparty to the Worm. They're taking that show and putting up a ton going on in capital markets. Clearly, President Trump, there's global geostrategic negotiations going on, as you can tell. And today when Charlie Kirk takes over, Macron is going to come back to the White House. He's then I think they're going to press avail in the in the Oval, then a press conference Real America's voice to be covering it all throughout the day. We're back five to seven. Natalie will join us. Then we'll have a complete breakdown of it. As Ben Harnwell said, historic day. I want to go back before I get Ben back on. Ben's got some more updates on AFD alternative for Deutschland and how important that is because that is kind of MAGA in Central Europe. The Birch gold situation, you know, this gold, they're still having these problems with delivery of gold in London. There's also the discussion of gold coming from London to the United States because of arbitrage. There's also this discussion of exactly about this audit at Fort Knox. And President Trump has now reiterated not only is he going to go, he's going to take Elon with him that he wants a full kind of accounting and audit to make sure the gold's in Fort Knox. Now, I think more than ever, it's time for you to understand the kind of the driving forces of gold as a hedge. That's a Philip Patrick and themes to go to Birchgold today. Philip Patrick, one of the things we do with our sponsors make sure you have you can get relationships at the senior level. In fact, Dr. Kim's going to join us here in a while, talk about his new product. We want to make sure you have access to those pieces of birchgold.com, also Jim Rickards, his if you like geopolitics and capital markets, one of the things we do a lot of here in the war room. Rickards reason Jim's kind of become a contributor is because he loves the show too. And of course you love his input when he comes by. We try to give him at least once a week. Rickards War Room all one word. Rickards with an S war room.com, you can get access to the Strategic Intelligence, his flagship newsletter. He throws in a free book on artificial intelligence and capital markets. A must read. A little scary, but a must read. So go check it out today. Also, this thing on Friday, this executive order is quite profound. It's President Trump really taking the measure of the Chinese Communist Party in what I consider to say is unrestricted warfare. Now, he has tremendous respect for Xi, although he understands he's a tyrant and a dictator. He sees how he's the head of, you know, one of the most ancient civilizations, a government on top of one of the most ancient civilizations. Of course, we are the belief it's illegitimate government, but it rules nonetheless. But the Chinese Communist Party just not going to sit there. I want everybody to understand they're just not going to sit there and let the United States get, you know, start to have a strategic dialogue with Russia, start to bring the Ukraine war to an end. Ben Harnwell brought up the most brilliant part of the show this morning was him saying, hey, the thing you're hanging out there is that the CCP will be all over Ukraine if the United States is not or in some sort of way brings peace to Europe through bringing peace between the Europeans and the Russians. And that's why Jace Medical, I think more than ever. It's one of the reasons we partnered with those guys. They took Rosemary Gibson's book and made a business out of it. Rosemary Gibson was the first to say, hey, look, I don't know if anybody's paying attention to this called supply chains. They control 100% of active pharmaceutical ingredients API and 80% of generics. And the generics they don't in charge of in India. They still control the API. So they control everything. Go to Jace Medical today. Do not get caught up in case we get in a major trade war with the Chinese Communist Party because, hey, tariffs are coming between the United States and China. And more importantly, President Trump's going to cut off all the capital that's going to go into their military technology, which is basically 90% of their economy. So check it out today. Ben Harnwell, you've got a couple more points about AFD that are quite relevant to folks here in the United States of America. What is it, sir?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

That's absolutely the case, Steve. So look, compare 2021, which was the last federal election, with the one yesterday, and you'll see that the AFD picked up 4.4 million votes, the vote yesterday, just by the way, in terms of turnout, like 84%, the highest turnout in Germany since unification in 1990, 35 years ago. So look, these 4.4 million, see, break this down, right, because you know MAGA better than anyone else. And the parallels between Germany and America. 4.4 million new votes for the AfD, where did they come from? 40% of the AfD's new votes were non voters. People didn't vote in the last cycle four years ago. The other 60% breaks down almost equally between the center right, the center left and that free Democrat, free marketeer party, each of them contributing the 20%. And that's where the AFD's vote comes from. I think that's absolutely astonishing. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that. You might have expected appealing off from the center right to invent comments the far right. That didn't really happen, though. The main parties all broadly peeled off equally. And then there's this, as I say, this rump of 40% of new AfD voters who didn't vote at all four years ago. Steve, I don't know what you make of that.

[Ben Harnwell]

What I make is that people are waking up the same way they're waking up in the United States, they're waking up in Germany. They're waking up to this breaking news right now, just across the wire. Lester Holt is out as the anchor at NBC News. If you think of it with Stephanopoulos getting crushed on the Trump lawsuit and having effectively no role at ABC News right now you've got David Muir at ABC being completely humiliated by the horrible performance he had in the, in the debate. You've got the changeover at CBS News and CBS is now in a freefall. As bad as they were, they're in a free fall. And now lesser holdout NBC, all the mainstream media, CNN disaster, MSNBC, changing their President Trump. The mainstream media that lorded it over us for so long is collapsing before your eyes. Collapsing. This is not an orderly rethinking of their business model. This is a total and complete collapse. Collapse. It's actually shocking. It's actually shocking. It's almost the blunt force trauma that Elon is causing. The administrative state is just look at what's happening on mainstream media. It's incredible. Absolutely Stunning. Ben, right before I let you go Vatican, there's all kind of rumors going around. Very little great coverage are we going to get, are we going to be having a conclave anytime soon?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I noticed the White House put out a statement a few days ago. Steve, Caroline, leave it, isn't it? The new spokeswoman said that the White House was praying for the Pope. I felt like responding on getter saying actually I think the better response would have been said the White House is praying for a Pope. Look, I don't know what the situation is with regards to Bergolli. I don't think anyone really is. I have, I've been studying this thing very closely. I haven't seen looking at the minutiae here, I haven't seen anything from the Vatican that indicates to me that they are imminently expecting him to die. He is an 88 year old man, massively overweight with one lung and double pneumonia. He's not well. He hasn't been well for some time. But I don't think he is going to die. You know, hostage to fortune and any commentator saying this kind of thing on the news. But I'm not expecting him to die from one day from today to tomorrow, let's put it like that.

[Ben Harnwell]

Okay. Archbishop Vigano has put out another missive, let's call it that. And Liz, yourr is going to be on tonight to discuss that. Ben Harnwell, I know you got a bounce. Thank you for being here this morning. Fantastic. Huge news out of Europe, huge news out of the United States. What's your handle? Where do people get you on social media?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Get the aforementioned get as my social media platform of choice, just tap in my surname Arnwa. Got some great posts there at the top of my feed waiting for you. Steve, just before I bounce, I just want to say because you've mentioned quite a few times already the fact that Joy Ann Reid is not going to be fronting her show anymore on msnbc. As someone who occasionally writes headlines, the perfect headline for that, I never saw it but had I been writing one it would have been read out, been perfect, already made headline. But it missed the opportunity.

[Ben Harnwell]

Miss the opportunity. Of course, that was her name of her show also in a different context, like you have a readout of the Macron visit. Anyway, Ben Harnwell, great job. And all of our colleagues over at Alternative for Deutschland. Great job. We're going to have some hopefully Beatrix on later today. Christine Anderson, we're going to have many more of them. Thank you Ben, great job.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Thanks Steve, God bless.

[Ben Harnwell]

So Bardella, the Front national rally, and what I said about him when he canceled his speech. If you're prepared to be rolled over by the mainstream media, and, brother, you got to understand something. We've crushed them. We've crushed them. They're an absolute free fault. The business models don't work, their cost structure don't work. These overpaid actors and actresses that are the anchors and the people on tv, because they're not particularly bright, they don't really understand what's going on. It's all collapsing. And so they sit there after a speech, which was a motivational speech to the people that matter, and those people that matter are the war room posse in the MAGA base that come and take their hard earned money to come to CPAC to make sure that they can show, not just show the support, but learn how to do things better, network better. When the mainstream media sees a speech like that, and at the end, when I give my traditional kind of acknowledgement and wave to the crowd, said, oh, this guy's throwing Roman salutes, this guy's throwing Nazi salutes, right? And you crater like a little baby. You're not worthy to be the leader of France. You're a spokesmodel, you're a wimp. You need people that are relentless. You need people that are tough. You need people look at the media and say, get out of my face. The media, the mainstream media, is the propaganda department for the globalists. You sit there and say you're trying to fight the globalists and let you kowtow to their propaganda army. You're not a man, you're a little boy. And a little boy is not going to lead France, particularly to save France, because right now France is kind of in a free fall like Germany. They've already turfed out the parliamentary party or the parliamentary control of it. But you guys are a long way from victory. And one of the things people are looking for across the world is authenticity, grit and fight. Underlying that is courage. And you showed none of those. So therefore, the Front national and National Rally people are just wasting their time with this guy. And now, because of where we are in this fight, the advanced stages of it, you must have leaders that have courage, you must have leaders that have authenticity. It's not a time for spokesmodels. And, you know, and Front national has come close a couple of times, but is not there. And one of the reasons not there, I think it's situations like this, and this is a perfect example, particularly with Macron, who's now talking about putting together a European army and talking about putting combat troops into Ukraine. So this thing is, if you, if you kowtow to the mainstream media, they're going to own you. And right now, they own you. They own you. And if you're owned, you're of no good to anybody. Tax Network usa, if that. You got a letter from the irs. Don't keep it in the drawer. You're asking for trouble. Penalties go up, fees go up, interest goes up.

That's not a, that's, that's not a solution. Historic day, historic week. You're seeing changes come to Europe and President Trump is trying to put forward a plan of peace and prosperity. And of course, he's being Chopped up in the media all the time. Oh, Russia, Russia, it's, it's all the same crap we went through in the first term. The same warmongers, the people that are his biggest ally are the parents of the 18 year old kids in the Ukraine that didn't want him dead. So remember that as we work through this. And we're going to have some choppy water in this one, there's no doubt. But this a major geostrategic, geoeconomic pivot. This is as important as the end of World War II. You can tell it, you can feel it. And what he came out with yesterday to lay the marker down on the Chinese Communist Party is massively important. Dr. Kim from Brick House. But Field of Greens. So Dr. Kim, when people come up to me and say, hey look, I'm doing, I take the field of greens. I feel amazing. And one of the reasons they're trying it is they say, hey, Dr. Kim comes on here and he walks me through and I understand they have a different process. Like your competitor that has all the advertising, you guys have a different process, fully organic, you're going to keep all the good stuff in. And it's longer and more complicated. When they then ask me about Lean, talk to me about your new product. Is that in the same, is that analogous? Is this done differently than all these different weight things? You see? Because everybody's got one now, right? Why is yours different?

[Dr. Kim]

Yeah, Steve, thanks for having me on again and forgive this kooky hair that I got right now going on because just, just kind of came off a shift at night. I apologize. But you know, we came what we wanted to do with Lean, that I wanted to attack kind of every single aspect of what helps, what kind of gets people to gain weight. Right. So a lot of those fat burners that you see out there are things that are helping to lose weight. They're heavily caffeinated. Right. Because it has shown that everyone want, everyone who's trying to diet or lose weight always has some less food consumption, right. So they need some energy. So they're focused primarily on thermogenic component of, and the energy component of caffeine. What we did with that was I wanted to hit multiple ankles. And it's the same thing that we've done with Lean. I mean in the field of greens and how we attack that componentry one was how do we get it so that if you already have excess fat that we could burn, use that as energy, right? So we have some caffeine, we have some advantage in there we have another ingredient that also helps burn some of that old fat and activates it so it could be used as energy. Two is that we've known for a long time that having unregulated blood glucose or blood sugars is also an issue. So we added an ingredient to help kind of stabilize that as well as help maintain its function that way for good blood glucose levels. And then the third component of that was before all of the hype about all these GLP1 agonists and the. Oh my goodness, what's the popular ones? But anyways, whatever injections that people are using so that they could stop eating or slow down a gastric emptying, we were already looking at that.

[Ben Harnwell]

Like, how do we mean the ozempic? You mean the ozempic, the things that people do? Yeah, yeah.

[Dr. Kim]

So even before people were doing that, I knew that there were certain things that we need to add. We need to attack all angles of weight gain. So it was decreasing appetite. Two was how do we get the current fat that's in there burning up? Three, how do we maintain energy? Because I know that people are going to be dieting decreasing the caloric content. And then four is how do we optimize all of that energy that's coming out of the body now that wasn't being used as energy before. So that's kind of. That's how we look at when we build these different products. That's what we did with Lean. We wanted to attack it from multiple angles. How do we use the current fat that's already there, that we can mobilize? How do we get it so people can have decreased food consumption? It's already difficult cutting out the calories when you're dieting. But how do we get it so that you're not always feeling so hungry? Three, how do you get that extra energy that's coming in? We add that in with caffeine and some ecgc. And the other last component was how do we maintain and help with the blood glucose levels that are in the body? So we added Inoslim and a couple other ingredients to help with that. So we had a multi pronged approach. It wasn't just go in there and get somebody highly caffeinated and kind of forget about what they're, that they're hungry or that they're on dieting. That wasn't the main basis. The basis was how do we get these four angles that really continue to help you gain weight. Right. And just have it so that it's nice and smooth and it's a great process to get into weight loss.

[Ben Harnwell]

So where do people go right now to try this out? What do they do? Where do they go? How do they find out more information?
