US-China Trade Relations and Technological Competition

Guest: Isaac Stonefish
Timestamp: [00:54] – [05:21]

Natalie Winters kicks off the discussion with Isaac Stonefish, a veteran commentator on US-China relations. Stonefish criticizes recent US concessions in the technological arena, specifically the handling of semiconductor exports to China. He argues that:

• Technological Edge Eroded: The US has historically held a significant advantage in chip technology, which is now diminishing as China dominates the drone market and shipbuilding. Stonefish notes, “They dominate the cheap drone market, obviously” ([01:30]).

• Trade Barriers and Tariffs: He elaborates on the complexities of the US-China trade war, emphasizing that tariffs might not provide the intended strategic advantage. Stonefish points out, “My biggest frustration with the narrative around tariffs is forgetting all of the various trade barriers that China holds up to foreign companies” ([04:10]).

• Policy Recommendations: Stonefish advises US companies to reduce exposure to China and stop selling critical technologies that could bolster the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) advancements. He states, “Stop thinking that by strengthening the Chinese Communist Party by selling them technology, you are in some way helping America leapfrog” ([02:43]).

Notable Quote: “If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.” – Steve Bannon ([00:30])

Immigration and Mass Deportations

Guest: Mike Howell
Timestamp: [06:40] – [25:16]

Natalie Winters transitions to the topic of immigration, bringing in Mike Howell to discuss the Trump administration’s efforts on border security and mass deportations. Howell provides a critical analysis of the current administration’s immigration policies:

• NGO Involvement: Howell accuses non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of facilitating a border crisis by recruiting and transporting migrants, leading to what he terms a "border invasion." He asserts, “Their goal was as many as possible… NGOs that then recruited these people” ([06:40]).

• Deportation Numbers: He highlights the low actual deportation rates compared to public perception, stating, “we're on track for less than half a million this year” and criticizes the administration for not making these numbers public ([08:09]).

• Policy and Political Hurdles: Howell emphasizes that the lack of political will and inconsistent policies hinder mass deportation efforts. He argues for a clear, uncompromising stance: “If you're illegal, no matter what, you are going home” ([09:04]).

• Accountability and Transparency: He calls for greater transparency and accountability in deportation statistics, warning that without these measures, public support may wane: “You can't get the numbers up on mass deportations or the results out on accountability” ([12:20]).

Notable Quote: “This is a mandated item. I think it'll determine the midterms and whether the MAGA base shows up.” – Mike Howell ([12:20])

Investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s Intelligence Ties

Guest: Mike Benz
Timestamp: [36:47] – [49:32]

The conversation shifts to the controversial figure Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged ties to intelligence agencies. Mike Benz provides a deep dive into the ongoing investigations:

• Epstein’s Intelligence Connections: Benz discusses the need for transparency regarding Epstein’s connections with US intelligence. He criticizes the Wall Street Journal’s recent coverage, which he views as superficial: “The mere presence of a letter, even if it were true, doesn't really do anything for me” ([37:21]).

• Transcript Requests: Benz urges the release of key transcripts, such as Alex Acosta’s interviews and internal communications within the CIA, to uncover the full extent of Epstein’s ties: “We need an answer on Epstein's intelligence ties” ([40:29]).

• Government Accountability: He calls for government bodies to grant immunity to witnesses to secure full testimonies and hold responsible parties accountable: “They can grant these witnesses immunity… tell us what they know” ([40:29]).

• Media and Public Perception: Benz criticizes mainstream media for dismissing critical investigations as conspiracy theories, emphasizing the importance of citizen journalism in uncovering the truth: “We need people with government power to actually charge people” ([49:32]).

Notable Quote: “Over the past few weeks, they [Democrats] are getting increasingly hostile, belligerent, bellicose, violent… they want blood.” – Natalie Winters ([40:29])

Border Security Efforts and Detention Facilities

Guest: Tom Homan
Timestamp: [52:12] – [53:00]

In a brief segment, Tom Homan discusses the administration’s efforts to secure the border through increased detention infrastructure:

• Detention Facilities: Homan outlines plans to reopen Alcatraz as a detention center, emphasizing the need for more bed space to handle the influx of migrants: “We're looking to get 100,000 beds… any available bed space we can get that meet the detention standards” ([52:12]).

• Operational Challenges: He acknowledges the logistical and financial challenges involved but asserts the administration’s commitment to expanding detention capabilities: “They’ve looked at the cost of it, but I’m not in the loop” ([52:46]).

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot 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. It's going to happen.

[Natalie Winters]

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.

[Steve Bannon]

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.

[Natalie Winters]

Welcome back to the War room. It's Friday, July 18th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Natalie Winters host in filling in for Steve, who had to leave during the first hour. Don't go anywhere. We of course have a packed show. We're going to start it back up again with Isaac Stonefish, sort of an expert and I would say corporate sellout, that's maybe too euphemistic a term to the Chinese Communist Party. I want to pick up sort of the where on where we left off. From my understanding, these chips sort of in the air space really was a significant upper hand the United States had over China. They obviously dominate us, I think, in some of the more kinetic aspects of warfare. Right. The ratios of shipbuilding, though it is civil and military, is like 300 to 1. They dominate the cheap drone market, obviously. They're expanding and planting flags in weird islands in the South China Sea. There are certainly on the ascent and this was one of the major concessions thus far that we've given during the trade war. I think the reporting has been that it's sort of a retaliatory thing or just part of the back and forth over particularly the rare earths, which of course China dominates to the tune of 90%, at least on the processing side. But I think that this at least in my opinion is sort of an unforced error in terms of a concession because it's such not only a critical space, but it's also something that we had the upper hand in. So I just find David Sachs and that crowd's mentality that the reason why we need to hand over these chips to the Chinese Communist Party is so we can retain an edge. If you just sort of want to pick up where you left off and maybe even more to the point, what you would advise in terms of probably locking down a lot of these exports even more.

[Isaac Stonefish]

The question is, where is the US China relationship going? If the US and China do go to war, what does that mean for U.S. companies that have worked with the Chinese Communist Party, both from a regulatory and reputational risk perspective, but also from how do we make sure that they're aligned with the US side if something like that happens? My worry with what Nvidia is doing, my worry with what Microsoft has done is, is if we are setting the stage for wide scale decoupling, why are these companies still so exposed to China and the Communist Party? What I would advise, both for friends in the US Government and also for the companies themselves, is to know what your exposure to China is and work on ways that you can reduce it and to stop buying the same horse, so to speak. Stop thinking that by strengthening the Chinese Communist Party by selling them technology, you are in some way helping America leapfrog. That argument didn't work 10 years ago and it shouldn't work today.

[Natalie Winters]

And last question before I let you go, just your sort of bird's eye perspective on the overview of how the trade war, though I don't like that term, is is going. These tariffs, are they giving us an advantage against the Chinese Communist Party or are a lot of these concessions perhaps detrimental?

[Isaac Stonefish]

My biggest frustration with the narrative around tariffs is forgetting all of the various trade barriers that China holds up to foreign companies. So there's this perception now that the US Is the country that's gumming up global trade and that China is the vanguard of free trade. And it's so far from the truth. There are so many barriers to entry of the Chinese market. And so when we have that conversation, we really need to understand the many, many challenges that companies have doing business in China. So on the one hand, you have companies like Microsoft and Nvidia trying really hard to work in and making ethical sacrifices to do so. On the other hand, Beijing makes it difficult for them to do so, which in some sort of perverse way encourages them to try to give up more to succeed in the Chinese market.

[Natalie Winters]

Thank you sir, for joining us.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Thank you.

[Natalie Winters]

Of course, speaking of the Chinese Communist Party and foreign invasion and infiltration in this country, I think there's probably no better person to bring on. Perhaps you've seen him going Viral on Twitter this week for giving House Democrats just a brutal beating. Metaphorically, of course, that is Mike Howell. Mike, you were just testifying. I want to give the hearing. Name an inside job. How NGOs facilitated the Biden border crisis, which I think is a uniquely pivotal hearing. Because I think a lot of the frustrations with how the deportation and immigration issue has been rolling out under the Trump administration is that it's not going to the root cause. And when I say that, I don't mean the left wing, globalist NGO idea that the root cause is economic inequality and inequity in a bunch of third world countries, but it's that we have a NGO sort of religion, religious aspect of these groups that are essentially helping these migrants, these illegal aliens, make it to the border and pumping them into every corner of the country. It's from cradle to grave. It's a whole apparatus. So you testified and provided a lot of actionable information, of course, got a lot of attacks. If you can just sort of walk the audience through how that went and what you see the next steps as.

[Mike Howell]

Yeah, so on the nonprofit side, it's all about the numbers. That's why it's really the only thing to be concerned about or to realize is driving this. The Biden administration couldn't get as many people in and around the country as they wanted to. Their goal was as many as possible, but they only had so many government personnel that they could, you know, employ and deploy to do that. So they just put a bunch of money into big pockets that they then gave to the nonprofits that then recruited these people, greeted them, and shuttle them around the country. That's how you sustain the logistics of a border invasion. And, you know, 10 million plus people came across the border. It was an absolute disaster. But if you fast forward to now, the Trump administration is enforced multiplying in that way. Of course, they just got a huge glut of money through the reconciliation bill. But the numbers of deportations are very low. In fact, they're not even public. There's a reason why they're not public, and it's because they are very low. And so ultimately, it's all about numbers. It's really simple. People in, people out. And they got a lot more people in using NGOs, and we're just not getting that many people out. But I made some points in that hearing, particularly about how Democrats are calling for violence and violence is happening. I was pleading with them to stand down on their threats for violence. They tried kicking me out of the Hearing room. It turned into a big zoo and actually stretched for seven hours because they wanted to interrupt me from talking. So they staged a bunch of procedural votes. It was emotional for them. They lost their cool. But it was a lot of fun for me.

[Natalie Winters]

And just walk us through. I think this audience is really concerned about action and what these sort of next steps are. As you alluded to, the deportation numbers aren't being posted. This audience is not dumb. We're not going to be hoodwinked just because we can't see it. We know we're not hitting the bare minimum of 7,000 a day. And it's not, you know, anti Trump or anti Maga to criticize. I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying facts. But where do you think now, like you said, they have the influx of cash. You know, was it the money that was the limiting factor or was it just the political wherewithal and I think intensity and frankly, just ability to carry out these deportations from just firing on all cylinders and being serious in our conduct and not just, you know, putting out tweets and doing photo ops.

[Mike Howell]

Yeah, that's exactly right. What we're seeing now is mass communications, non mass deportations. It's unfortunate. The standard. Let's remind ourselves that the president said on the campaign trail and, you know, through his presidency is the biggest deportation operation ever, which is a comparison to Eisenhower's Operation Wetback, where There were estimates 1 to 3 million of illegals in the country, and they pointed to 1.1 million being kicked out. So if you look at how many illegals are in this country, you pick your fake number that's out there. I'll go with 20 million. That's a lot of deportation. I think right now we're on track for less than half a million this year, which is why they're pointing to that 7,000 number you mentioned is arrests. That's not deportation. The number we care about are people who are picked up from the interior of the country and returned home. There's going to be all sorts of funny numbers. We saw one. They're trying to point to economic data about labor force participation rate to then extrapolate some self deportation number. That's all just junk science. The real number is actually the easiest one to obtain. It's the hard deportation number, the removal number, because there's a record for that. You put someone on the plane or a bus and you send them back to where they came from. And so that data exists, it's not public because the number is low. The biggest impediment right now is one of policy and politics. It's that the leadership in this administration has kind of vacillated on the scope of the mass deportation mission. Tom Holman's been strong the whole time, but you have political leadership and Secretary Nomad DHS who have really leaned into the criminal illegal alien aspect. The problem is, while that's like a communications friendly message, I suppose it's a safe space to say we're only deporting the worst of the worst. There's only about half a million criminal illegal aliens by their definition, in the United States. That gets you nowhere near mass deportation. Also, it is a lot harder to conduct operations on criminals than it is to do large scale worksite enforcement. It's obvious to say, but if you're going after an MS.13 gang banger in the hood, you're bringing in a bunch of officers, you're doing tactical planning. It's a, it's a dangerous situation. And so you get less. It prioritizes the quality of, I guess, the communications aspect of it, but it deprioritizes the numbers. And like I said, it's all about the numbers. If you look at how Eisenhower did it, they encircled large agricultural areas and they, in their own words, in their own reports, and I'll something on this soon, went in and mopped it up. They grabbed people, they brought in military expertise to help them do it. And so they need in this Trump administration to get over these political and policy hurdles. You keep having these trial balloons of amnesty and then we're, we're changing amnesty like we're a liberal trying to, you know, transgender all the kids or something. They can't decide what the word means. It needs to be ultimately clear that if you're illegal, no matter what, you are going home and is more likely than not that you will be deported. And the resources that come with reconciliation need to be used extraordinarily quickly and very creatively. We propose a lot of creative ideas for them, but it's time to start cracking down. This is a mandated item. I think it'll determine the midterms and whether the MAGA base shows up. You know, in addition to what I've said on the transparency and accountability issues, you can't get the numbers up on mass deportations or the results out on accountability. I'm afraid people are going to stay home because that's what excited people the most.

[Natalie Winters]

Yeah, I mean, what they did on the border, the actual securing of it, I think is historic. But we're obviously very analytical here in the war room. And the addition of a lot of these adjectives in front of mass deportations, it's just watering it down. It's whitewashing it. I voted for mass deportations. And I think that you're right to sort of frame it through the lens of what sounds good from a comms shop. Well, I'm sorry, the comms angle that I care about is not what a bunch of neocon or NGOs support supporting volunteer on the southern border to help invade this country, what those people think. And I think in the same way there's actually a beauty to the messaging that you're not just getting criminals out. Because like I was saying before, my aversion to mass immigration to the tune of tens of millions of people, frankly, legal and illegal, is not merely because you're importing backwards cultures that probably have a statistically higher likelihood of criminality and poverty and stealing your jobs and suppressing your wages. It's a cultural thing. It's the idea that the very fabric of this country, the rug of this country, is being pulled out from underneath us by a set of policies that were instituted by people that we never voted for. And that's why I think there's such an anger. Because you're essentially saying that my concerns about wanting to preserve American culture and American heritage, well, guess you can only do it if the guy's an MS.13 gang member. That's a really high threshold. And frankly, I think the answer is exactly. I want to hold you through the break because I want to get into the sort of the auto pen angle of all this too. But I also think it's important to note that you're going to have this crisis just manifest again unless you go after the people who orchestrated it. And I think you do have done a wonderful job going after the NGOs, but you have all of the people too. I know the name Mayorkas. I know the weird Biden advisor that's busy writing op EDS for the Washington Post about how they would secure the border. Thanks for your advice. Go shove it. And I don't even know what weird deep dark corner you were working in in the Biden regime. But these people need to be held accountable too. It's the same with COVID Remember, the Atlantic was pushing pandemic amnesty. No, I want mass deportations and criminal charges for the people who started this invasion. Not amnesty in any sense of the word. And shame on you, Maria Salazar and all the what, dozen or so Republicans that joined co sponsoring that legislation. Screw you guys. I have a country. It's called the United States of America and I'd like to preserve what it means to be an American. And I don't want to be neighbors with an MS.13 gang member. We'll be right back.

[Steve Bannon]

This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The bloc of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, India and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US Dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Natalie Winters]

Welcome back to the War room where of course you got to be checking out birchgold.com Bannon texting Bannon to 9,898 you can get the ultimate guide for gold in the Trump era. There seems like every day a new announcement coming from President Trump. Whether it's out of the trade corners of stuff, of course, Peter Navarro leading it there. I think frankly everything is economic when you look at the economic warfare that the Chinese Communist Party is waging against us. So that's why you got to be checking out vertigold.com Bannon and while you're at it, how about you check out Patriot Mobile too? That's patriot mobile.com Bannon Glen story and the team are true patriots. And why do you want to keep giving your money to corporations that probably don't just hate you but detest you? And I can tell you certainly do not support mass deportations. Mike Howell we still got you. I'M curious, I want to link this to another issue that you guys have been certainly ahead of the curve on, and that is all things auto pen. Seems like there's some renewed interest in that. Can you sort of give us an update where we stand on that front? Your investigations, your work, what you guys have been doing?

[Mike Howell]

So, you know, this all started in March when we released our first findings about the prolific use of an auto pen device to cover up for Biden's incapacity. And since then, it has taken on many different layers. It has gone to the House, the Senate, and the executive branch. I guess the most recent updates are two very important ones. Colmer over in the House, begin a series of interviews, Biden officials. The first one, the woman who is in charge of the paper for the entire White House, Neera Tanden, the staff secretary. That's the person you see, Will Scharf, in the Trump administration handing Trump everything to sign. It's usually a very credentialed attorney or somebody who can make sure processes are followed, the paperwork is tight, there's no litigation risk. They're always with the president. Well, guess what? Neera Tanden said she only saw Biden like, once a month at best. And she never even had his assent or proof of life before, you know, going down the chain and executing the auto pen device. So that was a massive red flag. And since someone kind of broke with the Biden administration, guess what? All the witnesses since then have claimed the fifth. You know, they're refusing to testify where that's at now. And the posse could be greatly helpful on this is Congress. Some of them are going to say, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Guess what? There is something they can do about it. They can grant these witnesses immunity, basically say you're immunized for crimes related to this. Get your butt back in here, testify, answer the questions, and if you don't, you're held in contempt. So don't let Congress keep their foot off the gas. The second thing, and this was Sunday night, the New York Times came out. Keep in mind, the New York Times, two weeks after I released our findings in March, said it was a conspiracy theory. Well, they issued another report on Sunday confirming our entire theory of our case and said that Biden actually was setting broad categories for pardons, and then his staff would go in and pick and choose who got him. So it's absolutely confirmed. Biden was not functionally aware of who was actually getting the pardons, which means they're obviously illegal. President Trump's already said so much. So it's time to fix those, charge those people, put the death row inmates back in, you know, on death row. All of the above. One other positive sign is the Trump administration announced an investigation into it. It's kind of duplicative, to be honest, because about a month ago, Trump issued an executive order saying, doj, go ahead and do this. Well, the news now is the White House counsel is undertaking a review. It's important for a really detailed reason that has escaped attention. There are two ways they could have gone about this. They could have just focused on Biden's incapacitated. He couldn't have done any of this, or they could have focused on that and whether Biden actually authorized it. Like looking at each individual action and chasing it, tracing it back to Biden approval. That's a big process. It's a huge process. And so the Trump administration, that is, that's the lane they're going down. We had wanted them to do that. A lot of lawyers are pushing back on us, but they announced a review of 1 million plus pages. And so that's an authorization investigation, which means they got a lot of work ahead. We're going to help them as much as we can. But I remind all the viewers here, like the oversight project took this 95 yards down the football field. We've proved every element of this case over and over again in flamboyant fashion, despite the fact that, you know, the New York Times won't give us credit or, you know, anybody else. That's. That's fine. But you need people with government power to actually, you know, charge people to issue subpoenas. And so that's the zone we're in. We don't need more just information for the sake of it. We need consequences. And that's what we're calling on the government to do.

[Natalie Winters]

Yeah, I mean, here's my issue. It seems like the rhetoric that they're putting out for the most part is. Is in line with War Room, is in line with the MAGA base. But the actions that they're actually doing to sort of match that rhetoric is sort of still stuck in, you know, performative, frankly, like neocon rhino territory, where it's Trey Gowdy's definition of accountability, as evidenced through his botched Benghazi hearing, or, I don't know, James Comer's book report that he released instead of putting Hunter Biden in prison, or Jim Jordan's weaponization committee, which. Still waiting to see exactly what that did. But I think there's also an interesting synergy between the auto pen investigation, frankly, the Epstein files. Right. I'm not obsessed with the auto pen because I'm so maniacally or myopically focused on Joe Biden or what is left of him. It's because it's the question of who runs our country. And when you look at the evil things that these people have done, or frankly, their inability, their aversion to putting America first. Right. The fact that that is a dirty word in Washington, D.C. i think is something that is very easily glanced over. But maybe you can't put America first. Maybe you want to invade this country because, I don't know, you're being blackmailed or you're essentially working on behalf of a foreign government, frankly, even a domestic intelligence service, and the fact that this Wall Street Journal piece, which, yes, it's bogus, but it does prove that even something as marginal as writing a stupid birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein, you know, two decades ago, if that's such blackmail or leverage potential there that you know you're going to sue Rupert Murdoch in News Corp. Well, it proves that Conn and ties to Epstein were blackmailable, Ergo, he did have influence over people who ended up in government. And it's probably a lot broader than that. So I think that there's really an interesting synergy there. Speaking of other synergies, of course the legacy media is going to run cover for this cohort. This. Can I use the word cabal? If so, I'll use it of people who run this country. But the legacy media, npr, your tax dollars are going to subsidize a lot of the information warfare front of it. I know you guys have also been sort of the tip of the spear fighting against NPR and on the receiving end of a lot of their attacks. I know to bring it back to immigration. The exposes that you did during the campaign trail about all those illegals voting, I think you worked with Anthony from Muckraker. I think I had you guys on the show talking about it. You know, they dispatched a bunch of journalists to come after you guys. Just your sort of thoughts on where we stand on the NPR front and why that's a victory.

[Mike Howell]

Yeah, NPR should have been defunded a long, long time ago. It's an absolute joke. And Anthony and his team and Muckerraker did some awesome work that we're happy to partner with them on. And this story here is probably one of the hardest I've laughed and in recent years. But NPR wanted to do a hit piece on Us, which is just funny because you're thinking the whole time they're paying for a hit piece. You know, I'm paying for my own hippies. And so, okay, whatever. We're like, let's have some fun with this. We took the interview with them full well, knowing that they were just going to be outrageous. But they, the, the interview was about an expose into voter fraud and illegal aliens being registered to vote and admitting to being registered to vote on camera. And NPR wanted to run cover for those illegals who admitted on camera multiple times to being registered to vote. And so of all people in the world, they said this woman named Judy, like Hoff Block or something to that effect. And we were sitting down and you know, we're talking to her and of course recording the thing. And it turns out she had worked for acorn, the infamous voter fraud organization. And so NPR literally sent somebody involved in a voter fraud organization to interview us about a story about real voter fraud issues. And we blasted on that. Kind of went away for a bit. But that's. That little nugget tells you exactly what NPR is. It's a bunch of just, just liberals with really soothing music on in the background, you know, just, just with high, like high class microphones saying outrageous things. So I'm glad that they're getting shut down a little bit.

[Natalie Winters]

Mike, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you're working on. I think you represent what real accountability means, not stupid letters or press conferences meant to distract and gaslight. Where can people go to do that?

[Mike Howell]

So oversight project can be found at it's your gov on X and that's because it's your government. People forget that I'm at MHOW tweets and our website right there is it's your gov.org if you're up there, hit that resource button. We got something called a doc depot where we're really trying to up the game in terms of dumping government files in there. I think you can have a lot of fun with the search functionality. It's going to get bigger and better. No one has more docs than us and we're linking them together in ways that citizen journalists can really get a leg up on the, the sensors.

[Natalie Winters]

Citizen journalism, I think has always been the way out, or at least a considerable part of the way out of this mess. Mike Howell, thank you so much for joining us. We will have you back on soon.

[Mike Howell]

Good to see you. Thank you.

[Natalie Winters]

Of course. And Warren Posse. It's why we need you in the fight. So it's why you got to be checking out hometidlock.com using promo code stevedontlet these weird cyber criminals or maybe, I don't know, it's a Chinese working for the DoD by proxy through Microsoft who's going to try to steal your home. That's hometiddleock.com promo code Steve. Also, Tax Network USA, that's tnus USA.com Bannon or you can call 1-800-958-1000 for a free consultation. Like I said, we certainly need you guys in the fight. We're going to, I think have Mike Benz join us after the break. But until then, I'm sure you guys recall there was that bombshell notice not us story talking about how these former state and USAID employees were essentially verbalizing, leaking their plans to sabotage the Trump administration from within. Now, I think there was a phrase for this that President Trump was attacked for using and that's called the enemy within. But the gist of their case, their operations are going to be to use the tactics that they have used in third world countries to foment, you know, coups and cultural or color revolutions, rather cultural revolutions too. Freudians live there, but here domestically on US Soil. And the word that they were using was non cooperation. So I want you guys, the posse to really download. Chew on that for a second. But non cooperation is the new strategy and to that point, indivisible. You may remember the group organizing all the really violent anti Tesla protests. They take a bunch of Soros money. They were caught paying protesters. Well, they just put out a call to train a million, one million of their supporters, activists, paid protesters. Take your pick in the tactics of non cooperation to essentially kneecap the Trump administration. So an interesting synergy there. You know, we pay attention, we engage in pattern recognition, we focus on word use. But non cooperation, that's going to be the radical left's new approach to coming after President Trump. We got Mike Benz packed show after the short break. Don't go anywhere.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

WAR Room here's your host, Stephen.

[Natalie Winters]

Welcome back to the War Room, where of course, you got to be checking out birchgold.com/bannon texting Bannon to 989898. Getting the guide to gold under Trump is the golden era, the golden age. There's a lot of, shall we say, turbulence when it comes to Fed Chair Jerome Power. We supposed to have Wade Miller on? I think we'll have him on maybe tonight or tomorrow talking about how there is legitimate grounds for President Trump to be able to remove him. I won't get ahead of him. I'll let him tease that out. But before we go, we're working on tracking down Mike Benz. We got some other guests. But I just want to really double down on what I was talking about before the break because this is something we know. We pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve and having signal, not noise. And this is one of these issues. You know, I embed myself behind enemy lines. I go to all their virtual trainings and their meetings and that kind of stuff. And I do it so I can bring you information so we can understand the enemy. I think as we've seen the quotes from the past few weeks, Democrats are getting increasingly hostile, belligerent, bellicose, violent, take your pick of what adjective you want to use. They're probably all too euphemistic in their own words. They want blood. But this new initiative that they're rolling out, like I said, by indivisible. So that's the Soros funded, shady, swampy kind of left wing organization that really provides the shock troops for a lot of these mainstream Democratic issues. It's called One Million Rising. I don't know about you, there's something kind of Maoist about that term, but they're calling it Strategic Non cooperation to fight authoritarianism. It's quote, and we have the pictures, if you want to put it up on screen. A national effort to train 1 million people in the strategic logic and practice of non cooperation as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. Quote, let's build a force bigger than fear. And why this is so, I think important is because it goes back to that story about these ex usaid, ex State Department employees who are holding these secret kind of off the books workshops. They're calling it Democracy Aid, that's the unofficial official name of the group where they are plotting these tactics of non cooperation with one of the spoken goals that they've discussed being sort of a nationwide strike. Not exactly sure if that's, you know, public sector, private sector, what exactly that would look like. But the quote from that reporting in terms of what they were planning was, quote, they're building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they're planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike. And one of the things that they were doing to help incentivize these employees to sabotage President Trump, whether that's, you know, blowing the whistle, leaking documents, talking to the press, which, frankly, I think with what you see going on to the Wall Street Journal, I think there's an interesting synergy there. But they were actually circulating again, legacy media's words, not mine. No conspiracies, no coincidences, but they were circulating old CIA materials. One of the pamphlets was titled Simple Sabotage, and it was a bunch of the tactics that they would use to sort of develop, whether it was human sources or, you know, turn people develop sources to, I guess, allegedly boost the interests of the United States, but in this case, to sabotage President Trump. And this is an extremely well funded organization. They're holding weekly virtual calls. They're getting ready to expand and go, frankly, kinetic by hosting in person protests. Right? This is the same group, no kings, that put on those whole protests that are involved in this. So this is the tip of the spear when it comes to left wing activism. Like I said, non cooperation. Start paying attention, you're gonna see that word a lot more throughout. And I think we've got Mike Benz up, but before we get to him real quick, I just want to hit Trevor Calm Comstock, our Maha Sherpa, all things beef liver. Trevor, if you want to hit the audience with the latest that you've been working on, you've got it. You got, I think it's virtual, but you Have a nice background. I like that.

[Trevor Comstock]

Yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. Actually, to your point, we have some exciting stuff rolling out over the next few days, which I'll come on early next week to mention. But for today, I really just wanted to highlight our second most popular product, which is our multi collagen supplement. And I know most people don't really realize this, but collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, and it's what keeps your skin firm, your joints flexible, as well as your hair and nails strong. But after the age of 25, natural collagen production begins to slow down. So over time, this can lead to common signs of aging, like wrinkles, weaker joints, as well as digestive issues. So collagen also plays a huge role in maintaining overall health. Yet unfortunately, modern diets don't really provide enough of it. So that's why supplementing with a high quality collagen source can be extremely beneficial. So if you are looking to support healthy aging, improve skin hydration, or just maintain stronger joints, collagen is a pretty simple yet effective way you can do that. And like anything, it's not necessarily a quick fix. But with consistent use, many people really do start to notice a difference in the way they look and feel over time. And what's great about our specific collagen is that it's formulated with five types of collagen and derived from four different sources. So you'll get types one through five, collagen, which is the full spectrum, whereas many other products out there, you'll just get one or maybe two types of collagen. So we do got you covered there, which is pretty cool. And then, you know, with that, our unique blend will help support everything I had mentioned in regards to healthy skin, hair, nails, joint health, gut function, et cetera. So, yeah, it's a pretty phenomenal product. You can sift through our reviews. We've had a lot of great feedback between the reviews and then just people raving through emails that we get as well. So I've been super excited about that. I take it as well every day. I think it helps with my skin hydration a lot as well as my gut. So always happy to talk about this product.

Thank you, sir, for joining us.

[Trevor Comstock]

Thank you.

[Natalie Winters]

Of course. Mike Benz, I think we got you. You have the world's most bizarre sleeping schedules. You wake up usually after the morning show. I'm always texting you, trying to get you on, and you're like, it's 3pm I just woke up. But that, that's enough for jokes. I know the audience wants to hear your thoughts, so I'm just gonna let you take it away. Let's start last night, the Wall Street Journal drop dump. That's probably too euphemistic. Take it, take it away on the timing of this, the story, and then let's get into the movement on some of the documents you've requested.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, it's kind of hysterical, what happened. Last night, the Wall Street Journal published one of the most bizarre screeds that you're going to find reprinted in mainstream journalism. I think one of the lines that stood out, obviously, this was a purported letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday, filled with, with riddles and cartoon drawings. And, you know, evidently this had been sat on. You know, we're to be told that this was in a Justice Department exhibit just, just newly unearthed. And critics are obviously trying to use this to say, aha, this is the reason that we don't have the Epstein files, because Trump has this Happy birthday letter. And things may not be as they seem, because who knows how many more birthday letters Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, look, the fact is, is we know that Trump was on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. You know, the, in the 1990s, I just had a birthday party and the binder was there. And, you know, Trump's name is very clearly in the binder. In the 1990s, this was, we've sort of been, we've been here, done that. I, you know, Trump is obviously arguing about the authenticity of the letter. But even if, you know, I guess what I'm getting at is Epstein was not arrested until 2006. In the 1990s, I don't think people widely knew what he was doing. Trump was famous for having kicked Epstein out of his private clubs in Florida. So you couldn't really do Business in the 90s in high finance or real estate without bumping into Epstein. So to me, the mere presence of a letter, even if it were true, doesn't really do anything for me. But the fact is, is there was on the heels of this, or perhaps concurrent with it, Trump demanding or green lighting Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury evidence to the extent that the court would allow it in order to satiate the base, which is, which is a good start. My concern is the things that I'm particularly most interested in, that is Epstein's intelligence ties are not going to be in a grand jury, are not going to be something that you're going to find unsealed in a grand jury case. So I think that's good, but it's not really responsive to the main issue, in my view. And so Pam Bondi has got to get, she's got to get the Justice Department OPR transcript of Alex Acosta and she's got to tell us the results of the CIA name trace on Jeffrey Epstein.

[Natalie Winters]

And walk us through some of these other documents that you've been calling for, if you've seen any movement or frankly just even any response on those.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, Charlie Kirk has been echoing this call as well. I've seen it begin to pick up traction. I've not seen anything or heard from any sources inside the Justice Department about whether or not it's registered yet. But, you know, I've not yet begun to fight. My goal is to basically make it that they can't have a press conference without being asked this question openly. And, and in addition, this is such an easy ask. I mean, you're so the Justice Department opr, the Office of Professional Responsibility, reports directly to the Justice Department. This is not like on the, on the CIA side where you need to trawl through, you know, hundreds of or thousands of Byzantine documents or layers of bureaucratic authorization. What we're looking for is the full transcript where Alex Acosta was asked five years ago whether or not asked about the extent of Epstein's intelligence ties. And all we have is this one little footnote buried in on page footnote 244 of a 348 page report. I want to, it's a one line summary description of it, which I thought was highly, highly misleading. And for the public to be able to know how that, how those queries around Epstein's intelligence ties were, were shaped by Bill Barr in his emails as well, and the CIA Office of General Counsel. What I'm getting at here is, is I have, I've, I've made about a dozen videos at this point about two very easy things that can be done in order to, to satiate the base here. Acosta's transcript as well as the, the, the internal chatter around that and, and the results of the CIA name trace. If we're told that, that Epstein belonged to Intelligence by the Daily Beast. Is it true?

[Natalie Winters]

Mike, if you can hang with us through the break, I know the audience really respects your, your viewpoints on this and I do think there is sort of this concerted effort to reframe the Epstein stuff, to make it sort of sort of, you know, tabloid esque, limited hangout, focus on the, you know, stupid, weird birthday card instead of what I think the thing itself is right, which is the domestic, frankly, foreign intelligence leaks. I know you were tweeting last night if anyone had done a CIA name trace on Jeffrey Epstein. Just a lot of rudimentary stuff where, you know, I think we've become so accustomed to being called conspiracy theorists that we sort of just, you know, well, rolls off our back. But like, the stuff that we're asking for is not absurd, frankly. The stuff that we're asking for was just cited in that Wall Street Journal article. I think the best way to clear it up would be just to, I don't know, release the frickin book that these alleged cards were in. And frankly, I would like to know who actually wrote him birthday cards and who actually was partying and hanging around him, Democrat, Republican or otherwise. I don't discriminate. We'll be right back. More Mike Benz after this short break.

[Steve Bannon]

What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets. Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future. His latest book, MoneyGPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes, and even threats to national security. Right now, War Room members get a free copy of MoneyGPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence. This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. I read it.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.

[Natalie Winters]

Welcome back to the War Room. We're still joined by Mike Benz. Mike, you've got the last few minutes of the show. Just sort of help the audience understand where you think we go from here, you know, what the next few days look like.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I think where we go from here is going to totally depend on the admin's response. This has been one of the more bizarre episodes in the history of our running love affair with, with, with Trump. I think from, from the base in the sense that this is not an issue that really affects our day to day life like the economy or like a foreign war or even something like, you know, the trade war or even something like a government agency like usaid. This is kind of a litmus test issue about, you know, responsiveness to the base in terms of cleaning up past episodes of corruption to send a message that such a thing cannot be done again. And you know, in that spirit, I think that, that Trump has hoped that this would go away because it's not as big an issue in terms of the day to day impact on people's lives as other things. And so there's been a constant flip flopping between saying, yes, we'll give transparency. You're crazy. If you want transparency. Yeah, a special prosecutor sounds good. What do you want a special prosecutor for? It's not necessary. You know, as I posted Yesterday, Trump in 2015 saying Bill Clinton is going to have a problem because of a little guy named Jeffrey Epstein and a little Island. And then 2025, the Democrats and Bill Clinton made up the Jeffrey Epstein thing that he campaigned on saying was evidence of corruption. But so I think there's been a hope that the MAGA base would kind of just let it go. And ironically, this was the same hope I think that Democrats had that that MAGA would just kind of let go of issues and instead found to, to I think Democrat and mainstream media dismay that like the MAGA base is super hardcore. When it bites its teeth into something, it's like a pit bull, it doesn't really let go of it. And you know, Trump made this a MAGA thing to talk about. You can't really un maga, you can't really unring the bell. And I think they're going to continually find this to be the case until we see good faith attempts to get answers. It doesn't have to be a full answer. Tulsi Gabbard didn't give guess a full answer on jfk, but we saw it was a good faith effort. Just this week the Washington Post had to publish on a one front page the Joe and Evie stories about the CIA, you know, having assets, you know, fully in touch with Lee Harvey Oswald and surveying his home and mail beforehand. I mean, this was all forced because of the good faith effort at odni. And the least that can be done is, is to give us an answer on Epstein's intelligence ties, at least vis A vis what U.S. intelligence knew or information had collected on Epstein so that we, so that researchers can take it from there. But we need an answer on that. I don't think anyone's letting it go. It's only going to get worse.

[Natalie Winters]

Yeah, I don't think our interest in the Epstein stuff was a, was a function of President Trump talking about it. So I don't think his dismissal of it is going to throw people off the case. We're interested in it because it exposes answers to questions that frankly, I don't even think we know exactly what those questions are because it gets to the power structures, the people, the foreign countries at that, that, that run or try to influence this country. And Mike Benz, I say it for myself, for Steve and this audience, we appreciate the work that you've done on this, this front, giving us actionable calls so, so we don't look as crazy as we, as we actually are or as the legacy media depicts us to be. In the meantime, before we have you back on, we'll do the evening show. Don't worry. Where can people go to follow you and stay up to date with everything you're working on?

And we are going live. Always fun to toss to a gaggle over at the White House with Tom Homan. Thank you guys for hanging with me.

[Tom Homan]

We're looking to get 100,000 beds. And the more beds we get, the more bad guys we can take off the street. Every criminal alien we arrest on the street before we deport them, they need a bed because it takes several days, several weeks, several months to actually remove them. So we need more beds. We're bringing beds on as quickly as possible. I think Governor Santis came up with a good model and I'm not familiar with the cost. That's a question for ice. But we're looking for beds and I hope we get more beds on soon we to need the beds.

[Mike Howell]

I'm sorry, I said alligator Alcatraz. I meant Alcatraz. The reopening of Alcatraz, the original off the coast.

[Tom Homan]

Well, look, I think they're looking at it. I don't think any decisions been made yet. They've looked at the cost of it, but I'm not, I'm not. I'm not in the loop on that. But again, we're looking for any available bed space we can get that meet the detention standards that we're accustomed to.
