Episode Overview

This episode delves into the perceived erosion of national sovereignty in the U.S. and Canada, with a focus on U.S. internal unrest, Canadian alignment with China, and challenges to Western security. Using the situation in Minnesota and a striking Canada-China summit as framing, Bannon and guests scrutinize Project 2025, immigration, NORAD defense risks, and the evolution of global power. Notable themes include critiques of progressive politics, warnings about the Insurrection Act, and alarm around geopolitical partnerships undermining the West.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Insurrection Act and Domestic Unrest

• Uptick in Unrest: The episode opens with concerns about escalating disturbances in Minnesota, raising the question of whether the Insurrection Act could or should be invoked.
  • [00:00] Bannon directly quotes 10 USC 252, outlining presidential power to use the military in cases of rebellion.
• Political Context: Political analysts stress that, on merit, there is “absolutely no reason” to invoke the Insurrection Act, but evidence builds that the administration is moving in this direction for strategic, possibly political, purposes.
  • Quote: “There is absolutely no reason to invoke the Insurrection Act on the merits...What is really troubling is the way in which they are very explicitly and overtly trying to engineer this.” – Political Analyst [00:20]
• Manipulation & Rhetoric: Reference is made to key figures such as Deputy AG Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi using “unhinged” language to escalate the situation in Minneapolis, which analysts say increases tension purposively.
  • “[They’re] ratcheting up the detention, seemingly deliberately.” – Political Analyst [01:07]

2. Canada–China Relations: “Kowtowing” to Beijing

• Summit in Beijing: Canadian Prime Minister Brian Platt speaks at a high-level meeting with Chinese officials, positioning Canada as a collaborative partner with China on energy, agriculture, and advancing “a new era of relations.”
  • Quote: “We’re heartened by the leadership of President Xi Jinping...The spirit and the substance of these discussions and these agreements will provide great benefit to each of our peoples, but also provide an example to the world of cooperation amidst a time globally of division and disorder.” – Brian Platt [02:15]
• The ‘New World Order’: Platt defines it as a world reordering trade, payment systems, and coalitions, with a pragmatic view of China as an indispensable economic partner in areas like EVs (electric vehicles).
  • “Rather than these being developed necessarily through the IMF, WTO...it is going to be coalitions...not for the world, but for subsects, sector subsectors of the world.” – Brian Platt [05:42]
• U.S. Reaction: Bannon and guests frame this as an unprecedented capitulation (“kowtow”) to China, arguing it represents an economic and strategic threat, especially to the U.S. dollar and North American security.
  • “That was a full kowtow...What he did in Beijing was tantamount to an economic declaration of unrestricted warfare against the United States of America.” – Stephen K. Bannon [20:00]

3. Project 2025 & U.S. Immigration Enforcement

• Project 2025: Bannon revisits this agenda, warning it sets groundwork for mass deportations, internal militarization, and possible martial law by invoking the Insurrection Act.
  • “I've been warning about the Insurrection act for well over a year now...leads ultimately to martial law, where you can suspend elections.”—Stephen K. Bannon [03:43]
• Mass Deportations: Advocacy for mass deportations as the only solution to handle illegal immigration, suggesting a crackdown not just at the border, but on employers and “eliminate all legal immigration,” including H1B visas.
  • “Go to the employers and cuff some CEOs...Eliminate all legal immigration right now. Destroy the HB1 program.” – Stephen K. Bannon [16:29]
• ICE Officers & Political Optics: The panel criticizes “backing off” of ICE, attributing it to leftist agitation and weak-kneed congressional action.
  • “ICE officers are backing off...If you go in there...cameras need to catch that on film.” – Dave Brat [46:24]

4. The “Enemy Within,” Radical Ideologies, and Culture War

• Internal Threats: Recurring theme: the “enemy within,” including alleged infiltration by Marxists, jihadists, and others, with emphasis on radical teachers influencing youth (likened to China’s “Red Guard”).
  • “That’s like the Red Guard...the high school and college kids they had totally programmed. They were brutal.” – Stephen K. Bannon [24:00]
• Islam in America: Strongly anti-immigration and anti-Islam rhetoric, with a guest claiming the U.S. is under threat from the growth of Islamic communities and depicting Islam as “a totally harmful religion...especially to Christians.”
  • “This is not a peaceful religion...US Christians are under attack by the Islamic communities.” – Guest Commentator [30:30]
• Christian Nationalism: Open call for a Christian enclave in Jerusalem as a response to developments in Israel.
  • “We need a Christian state in Israel. We need to take the Christian quarter of Jerusalem...” – Stephen K. Bannon [31:29]

5. Geopolitical Shifts: Arctic Security, NATO, and Unrestricted Warfare

• NORAD and Arctic Exposure: Bannon, Prince, and others argue Canada’s China partnership and lax immigration jeopardize North America’s defense. NORAD’s locations in northern Canada are cited as critical vulnerabilities.
  • “Are we not in jeopardy cause of NORAD? Our entire NORAD system essentially is up in the Canadian north.” – Stephen K. Bannon [42:03]
• Reference to Greenland and NATO: Skepticism about NATO’s capacity, fears of Islamic influence in European governments, and dismissal of NATO powers’ ability to defend the Arctic.
• Chinese and Russian Threats: The Arctic is cast as the next major front, with warnings of alliances forming to bypass and economically undermine the U.S.

6. Venezuela, Haiti, and the US Role Abroad

• Venezuela Security: Eric Prince discusses post-Maduro Venezuela and the necessity for private military contractors over traditional U.S. military engagement.
  • “You have to deploy real capability...Let the Venezuelan government hire what they need to do.” – Eric Prince [38:02], [40:14]
• Haiti Gang Control: Prince points to successful, locally funded private security operations as a model for restoring order (costing the U.S. “zero”).
  • “The model's working. All of which cost the US taxpayer zero.” – Eric Prince [41:23]

Tone & Language

The language is combative, alarmist, and heavily critical of political opponents (liberals, “globalists,” progressive educators, the “corporatist” elite, and “beta males”). There is a sense of urgency—a call to action—with apocalyptic references (“primal scream of a dying regime,” “enemy within,” “overrun by the enemies of this republic”). Guests are given space to share both tactical security perspectives (Prince) and cultural critiques (guest commentators, Dave Brat).

Useful for New Listeners

• This episode is a primer on Bannon’s worldview: critical of Western elites, globalism, and any perceived softening toward external threats, especially China.
• It contextualizes current domestic turmoil as both a symptom and a tool in a broader global realignment, allegedly orchestrated by progressives, allied governments, and foreign adversaries.
• Offers insight into the playbook Bannon and aligned figures envision for the right: unapologetically crack down on immigration, challenge alliances with China, resist transnational institutions, and assert “America First” at home and abroad.

Transcript

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I ask you, are we in the process of witnessing in the state of Minnesota assemblages combinations or rebellion against the authority of the United States, or are we seeing, sir, the requirement for the use of armed forces as he considered necessary to enforce the laws or to suppress such rebellion?

[Political Analyst]

No. No. There is absolutely no reason to invoke the Insurrection act on the merits. However, as you pointed out, this does seem to have been something that they've been moving toward since returning to office. Now, in terms of Project 2025, I think what we're seeing, Americans now understand is that there's a big distinction even in their own minds between who comes into the country and what we do about interior enforcement, which is why I think some of the polling is now starting to move against them so aggressively. But, no, there's absolutely no reason to invoke the Insurrection Act. And what is really troubling is the way in which they are very explicitly and overtly trying to engineer this. I was very glad that that Simone, that you called up, Deputy AG Todd Blanche's tweet.

[Political Commentator]

It was. He. He was. He said it was insurrection. Last night.

[Political Analyst]

He said it was insurrection now. It was unhinged. It was unhinged. And Pam Bondi has been on Fox this week saying absolutely unhinged things about what is going on in Minneapolis and the resignations of those prosecutors. And I don't know if they're doing it because to keep a job. It doesn't matter why they're doing it, they're doing it and it's very irresponsible. And all it is doing is ratcheting up the detention, seemingly deliberately.

[Brian Platt]

Thank you, Chairman Zhao Liji, for receiving me, my ministers and our delegation. This is indeed a very important meeting and the most auspicious start to the new year and to a new era of relations between Canada and China. We're heartened by the leadership of President Xi Jinping and the speed with which our relationship has progressed in recent months. This sets the stage for these important discussions on a wide range of issues where we can be strategic partners, from energy to agriculture, to people to people ties to multilateralism to issues on security. We believe that the spirit and the substance of these discussions and these agreements will provide great benefit to each of our peoples, but also provide an example to the world of cooperation amidst a time globally of division and disorder.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Gary, that's. Welcome to our new reality, America. You're going to be hearing and seeing stories like this every day. Oh, and trust me, it's going to come to a neighborhood near you very soon, because that's part of this ankush, how this plays out on this set. A few years ago, a couple of years ago now, my colleagues and I introduced our audience in America to this little thing called Project 2025. We had the conversation and everybody was like, what is this? Right? And we kind of spelled out what it was and what the impact would be as the upcoming election was approaching. And Americans should know that if Trump got back in, this would be the BluePR. Part of that is what we're going to talk about tonight, at least from my perspective, because I've been warning about the Insurrection act for well over a year now. And I think it's important for people to understand exactly what we're talking about here and how this plays into a strategy that in my estimation, leads ultimately to martial law, where you can suspend elections and you can do a whole hell of a lot of things that this president would like to do. I want to call to everybody's Attention Insurrection Act, 10 USC 252, quote. However, the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages or rebellion against the authority of the United States make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state by the ordinary course of judicial proceeding. He may call into federal service, such as the militia of any state, and use such of the armed forces as he considers necessary to enforce the laws or suppress the rebellion.

[Brian Platt]

Prime Minister Brian Platt with Bloomberg News. Yesterday, when you Premier Li, one of the things you said in the public remarks was this partnership, Canada and China.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This new partnership, sets us up well for the New World Order. What did you mean by that?

[Brian Platt]

What is the New World Order? Well, this is, it's a great question, Brian, because I think the world is still determining what that, what that order is going to be. And let's be clear what we're talking about first and foremost, which is what are the trading, what is going to govern global trade? What is the role of the WTO going to be? How important are bilateral deals such as the one we're developing, plurilateral deals, if I can use that term, Trans Pacific Partnership, potential linkages between transportation Pacific Partnership and the eu. Where is financial regulation, payment system regulation going to fit into that? All of these aspects, the, I'm using a fancy word like the architecture, the multilateral system that has been developing these is being eroded, to use a polite term, undercut use, another term. So the question is, what gets built in that place? How much of a patchwork is it how much is it just on a bilateral basis or where do like minded countries in certain areas. So like minded countries, just to be clear, doesn't mean you agree on everything. So aspects, for example on digital trade or agricultural trade, climate finance. As another area to move into areas of geostrategy, geosecurity, you will have different coalitions that are formed. So what this partnership does is in areas for example of clean energy, conventional energy, agriculture, as we were just talking about, and financial services which we've talked less about. But the evolution of the global financial system, the role of the renminbi over time, the evolution of cross border payments, I know it all sounds very dry except for your organization which I think takes an interest in it. These are important elements of how the system is going to work. And look, the expectation is that rather than these being developed necessarily through the imf, WTO and other multilateral organizations, it is going to be coalitions that develop them not for the world, but for subsects, sector subsectors of the world. China's strengths, for example, in electric vehicles are formidable. They're undeniable. These are the most affordable and energy efficient and innovative vehicles in the world. And for Canada, to build our own competitive EV sector, we need to learn from, partner with and access and build supply chains with China to help deliver on the full potential of these partnerships and to bring down costs for Canadians. We're going to start by allowing up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market at the most favored nation tariff rate, which is 6.1%.

[Political Commentator]

Unfortunately, I think this is a spectacle of essentially state sponsored violence that Donald Trump has produced for us. This is in fact an image that he wants us to see. You could say the question is why does the President of the United States seem to bear a grudge against an entire state? Why has he vowed retribution against that state? But I think you're right to underscore the idea that what we're watching here is frankly the sort of dystopian vision of an American hellscape as conjured by Donald Trump from the very beginning of his political career. This looks to me like American carnage made manifest, unfortunately. And I think that it's this sort of spectacle of state violence. And now what is Trump doing and calling for potentially using the Insurrection Act. He's wanted to bring the active duty US military into it from the beginning to reinforce his powers and to underscore the message that he's had actually from the beginning of this second term, which is that while America faces Many threats around the world. The greatest threat that Donald Trump is focused on is what he's called the enemy within. And he has specifically said that the US Military should target civil disturbances like those that the US Government is right now creating in Minneapolis. So I look at this and I see the dystopia that Donald Trump wanted us to see. Unfortunately.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I got a free shot.

[Commercial Announcer]

All these networks lying about the people.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

The people have had a belly full of it.

[Commercial Announcer]

I know you don't like hearing that.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

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. 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 people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and.

[Commercial Announcer]

What is my purpose?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

If that answer is to save my.

[Commercial Announcer]

Country, this country will be saved.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Friday the 16th of January in the year of our Lord 2026. You saw right there the insurrection in Minneapolis, in the streets. That part, by the way, I want to thank the Real America Voice Denver team and our own War Room production team for putting it together. Really a magnificent cold open. We could have gone for the entire hour and put together what's happening in the world that would shock you right there. If that's not an insurrection. If that's not an insurrection. You got the high school kids, the part in the, in the, in the outside, the Capitol. Those are high school kids. This is all. Look, the reality is the progressive left and the Republican Party not confronting this and just want to kick the can down the road. This is what you get right now. Lead story in Axios, and I'm not making this up. Leads during Axios is how the people around President Trump, they're showing him GOP polling that, hey, the optics here is looking bad. It's really looking bad. Maybe we have to back down. Maybe. Let's go talk about amnesty. No, no, no, no, no. This has been President Trump's central issue since he came on the down the golden elevator. We have to finish what we started. Properly explained, improperly executed. And that means the E. VERIFY and the, and the going into the. Going into the employers, the mass deportations of the illegal alien workers. I don't care if interest groups or, you know, trade associations saying, oh, this is terrible terror. Pay a decent wage and Americans Will will work and you have to pay a decent wage. You can't have indentured, can't. This is a fight over indentured servitude. This is what the Wall street crowd wanted. This is what the corporatists wanted. And they've left it to the populist nationalist movement to clean up their mess for the good of this country. People didn't fight and defend this country, make this country free and fight for 250 years so that we'd have indentured servitude taking away jobs and destroying health care systems, destroying the education system and now have a bunch of Marxist jihadists conferring who have turned kids in high school because of these radical blue haired Marxist teachers. It has the boil, lance the boil and lance the boil. Now of course it's going to be hard. Aren't we, aren't we a country that accomplishes and does hard things? Are we just going to blink and let the progressive left, the Marxists and the jihadists win? I don't think so. Short break.

[Commercial Announcer]

[Stephen K. Bannon]

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. So several items. Number one, the insurrection and President Trump should because antifa's pouring in this week and Even at zero. Kevin Bosobic and the team out there have told us, hey, you're going to have antifa this weekend. They're not letting this go and they're stopping ICE from doing the work. Now is the best way to do it, Go door to door for onesies? Twosies? I don't think so. It's mass deportations. Go to the employers and cuff some CEOs, cuff a couple of chief operating officers, people that knowingly did this. You want to roll this up and we have to do it. You can't allow 12 to 15 million illegal alien invaders. And stop the refugee program. Stop the amnesty program. Stop all. Eliminate all legal immigration right now. Destroy the HB1 program. We're all going to get to this. We've been advocating for a while and we're moving the ball, we're trying to move the chains. I think we are moving the chains, but that it's going to come down to this. We either have our sovereignty or not. You know, you got all these. Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham, he's crying, he's weeping. He's on a plane over to Israel right now to put his head on, on Netanyahu's shoulder and be burped, you know, be patted. It's okay, Lindsay. It's okay. Lady G, you see the president, we put that up for a second. I'm gonna get Brad in here. She's riding shotgun with Eric. Prince is going to join us. Peter Navarro. They put out a tweet last night or True Social on the, on the peace board wit cops negotiated. And this is what the Israel first crowd wrought. Let me be blunt. Those of you who've been for the defense of Israel for decades, a one state solution. Didn't want a two state solution. You got a two state solution. Don't take it from me. I'm just some dumb mick yelling into a microphone. Take it from the president of these United States right there. He lays it out. The peace board, the technocratic government of Palestine or the technocratic government or the Palestinians. And dimension in there as part of that the peace board is going to be announced is, I don't know, some random names. Qatar, Turkey, Egypt. Israel is not mentioned as a government. It's mentioned as a place that you got to get Hamas. And these guys are going to, as Rabbi Wicki pointed out, hey, the difference between what's been agreed and what's in these agreements and what's coming out of the UN Security Council now in there, that they're going to disarm Turkey Egypt and Qatar are going to disarm Hamas for the next phase. In fact, President Trump kicks off by the next phase. Tel Aviv. Levin, I haven't seen you reposting this. I haven't seen any of the Israel first crowd really cheering on this. Cheer on it. You brought it. You brought it. The Greater Israel Project, Imperial Israel brought this result. So you have a Palestinian state with qatar money and 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza and Turkey providing security and Egypt as their muscle. Right, The Egyptian army. You got it, baby. So, Lindsay, fly over there and once again, your whole program about bombing Khomeini and bombing the Aleatola and the mullah is dead wrong again. The Persian people in the streets and the Persian people brought this on themselves. There's, there has to be a natural flow in history that people have to own things. The Persian people brought this on 46, 47 years ago. They threw it to Shah, who was totally corrupt. The son gets on there and Bread Bear, he's a goofball. They're not going to bring the Shah back or any of the, any of the royal family. That's fantasy land. Anybody's taking that seriously. You're just buying into another fantasy. There's no support for the Shah. They want any support when they threw him out, but they brought on Islamic Republic, they brought it on themselves. They got to take care of themselves. No need to bomb. And there's no bombing set that's going to bring this thing down. And we're, we're positioning assets right now. And Levin, stop worrying about Tehran embalming Tehran. Worry about what you guys have allowed to happen in New York City with Mandami. This country's got a massive problem of this because people have looked the other way and let these NGOs support things. And now in the political process, in Seattle, in Portland, in Minneapolis, in Chicago, in Dearborn, Michigan, and now in good old New York City, that kind of northern tier, almost like they're in a latitude, right? Those cities are occupied right now. This country can't go on like this. This is one of the reasons of the NATO situation. And oh, I hate to rub people's nose in it, but that I call the Canadian situation going to be 10 times worse than Greenland. Of course, NATO can't defend Greenland and can't put the proper bases in to monitor, cut off Soviet submarines. But now what they're doing, the Financial Times of London, look, I got up on Getter ft, they're putting troops, NATO surging troops into Greenland. Think about that for a Second, on our hemispheric defense, they're searching troops into Greenland. These are the same scumbags, Starmer and Macron, that are making all this big talk about what they're going to do in Ukraine. All these troops are going to put in Ukraine. They're both broke and they're being taken over by radical Islam. We're not going to support that. Clean up your own house first. Show us that you actually have control of your own country. And it's not going to be an Islamic republic, I don't know, in a decade, because we're tired of paying for it. We're not going to pay for your defense as you become Islamic republics. We're not going to do it. And I called the shot on Canada, that Arctic Rim, the great game where the Chinese and the Russians are. Look at Carney. Look at Carney. Steve Bannon, Yellen. Mike. That's Carney in all his glory. A new world order. And just look at the details. Did we not say that they were going to try to destroy. And now, you know, you got a NATO ally and a guy on our northern border working with the Chinese Communist Party on their currency. He says it right there. That's all to destroy the US Dollar. Carney is an enemy of the United States. It's obvious he's partnered as they've been infiltrated by the Chinese Communist Party. In radical Islam, they love beta males. They live off. They feast off beta males like Carney. They feast off these people. What he did in Beijing was tantamount to an economic declaration of unrestricted warfare against the United States of America. And this is why President Trump's been hammering him, the Canadians. It's your problem and you better clean it up. Now you got Alberta and all these companies, all these counties, segments, states that want to succeed, territories, want to succeed. Hey, maybe they do, maybe you don't. I don't know. But you better clean up up your situation. This thing in Canada, up at the Arctic is going to be 10x Greenland. Why? Why do you say that, Steve? Cause a norad? Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the attack from your enemies is going to come over the North Pole from both China and Russia. This is not some Mark Levin Tel Aviv Levin fantasy about the moolahs and they're going to have ballistic missiles in 20 years and they can hit New York City. No, this is reality. Why do you think NORAD's been built up there? And now a government that's clearly partnering with the Chinese Communist Party couldn't be More blatant. If he's that bold in a microphone, what in the hell you think he's doing in the room? That was a full kowtow. That's what the Imperial Chinese Court used to demand of the. Of the Brits when they first got there. And all the countries in the world, they had to come to the Imperial court. And he had a kowtow. That was a full kowtow. Baikarney beta male. These progressive white women, the Karens and the beta males, that is your problem. They're the ones that instigate this. They're the guys that. People that exacerbate it. And you see it. Hey, Fry. What's the difference between. Fry, what's written to waltz and Carney? They're the same guy. They're the same person. We have to strike now. The enemy within in this country is working to get more powerful every day. That's why we can't leave this to future generations. Look around, you know, don't give the Christmas gifts to the kids and the grandkids. Look at what you're going to bequeath them. It's not some crap you give them for Christmas. It's a country overrun by the enemies of this republic. That's what you're going to give them. Face reality. See what you see. That's a revolt up there every night. And now they got the kids. And they did. They did the kids on purpose. The high school kids. That's like the Red Guard. Remember, you read the Chinese Revolution. The Red Guard were the most heinous. Those high school and college kids, they had totally programmed. They were brutal. You go back and read the Cultural Revolution of what they did to the teachers, what they did to the Burkes, little platoons, the underpinnings of Chinese culture and society, particularly in the hinterlands. Because the Chinese always been very traditional, very conservative. Lao baijing. Lao baijing has always been very conservative. Why? Because nobody's cutting out by Jing a deal. It's like every. It's every rural county in the world. Whether it's the United States or Germany or. Or China or wherever you go, it's all the same. They work their ass off. You look at history. People are coming and taking their stuff there. They sent the children, their own kids back on them. That's what. That's what you see right there. That's what it is. That's the Red Guard. That's the Red Guard. Oh, Bannon, you're so over the top. Your hair so on fire. See what you See, and look at Carney right there on the, on the northern border right there. Trump was right once again. Trump's right. And I've been saying, you watch that Arctic is going to be much worse than Greenland. And now we got the NORAD radar system up there will be totally defenseless. And at first I kept saying, hey, he's the new Ukraine right about these borders. Everything Chinese gonna come and take down. I don't doubt that he's cut a deal. Look what he walked through about the, about the, about the currency in the Rembe. He's like making my Birch gold pitch. He's basically saying, hey, you better go get the dollar empire. Go to birchgold.com promo code Bannon. Hey, that's where I got it from. That's how we're going to destroy the $. The end of the $empire. We have both enemies, foreign and domestic, and it's not time we take care of them and actually see who the enemies are. I'm waiting for Tel Aviv Levin. I'm waiting for you to tweet out that peace, peace committee today. By the way, Marco, you wanted or who's on it from Israel? Who's on it? I just saw Qatar, Turkey and Egypt. Short break.

If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt? Let's see if we can help you with that. If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Card and other debt?

[Commercial Announcer]

I might have a solution. Here's why. Now's the time to make a move. This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They sell or write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments without bankruptcy or taking on new loans. Done With Debt goes to work for you month one with one clear goal. To reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month. Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year. Chat with a Done with debt [e-mail] that's done with debt.com. done with debt.com. do it today.

I want to talk directly to the people of Iran who are standing up, who are demonstrating incredible bravery, standing against the ayatollah and the mullahs, standing for freedom. Thank you for your courage. You need to know America stands with you. America stands with your fight. And President Trump has your backs. You are in our prayers. We are standing with you. And these tyrants will fall due to your incredible bravery. God bless you.

[Guest Commentator]

But lately, we have seen such a surge of the Islamic communities coming into our towns and infiltrating them in terms of, like, neighborhoods will have entire marches. You walk into a neighborhood and you can smell. This sounds so bad, but you can smell like the Islamic culture. It is totally, like, infiltrated everything. The schools. And then it infiltrates who your children are being surrounded by when they're in the schools, what they're learning. This is not a peaceful religion as much as they would like to claim it to be. It is a totally harmful religion, especially to Christians. And I do think that US As Christians are under attack by the Islamic communities. And I think that the illegal immigration is a huge, huge part of that. And we do need to crack down on that if we want to bring our Christian values back to America and not be afraid to do it.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Okay, we're gonna cut in. The president's doing a forum on. On rural health care. To the degree that there's. There's something relevant to. Things are going on today. We'll jump in there. It's a very important forum. Don't get me wrong. We gotta get the rural health care system. And President Trump's made it a priority. I believe he's also been talking about the Federal Reserve. President Trump kind of on a roll here. We're gonna cut over there momentarily. I got Eric Prince, I got. Or we have Erik Prince, and we have Dr. Peter Noir and Dave Bratz with me right there. Ted Cruz going full. I don't know, weirdo. I don't know. Like Lindsey Graham. You know, he told Tucker the reason he got into politics was about Israel. I don't know. I thought it was about a Texas. He has not mentioned a word about the Islamic invasion in Sharia law in Texas. That at the end was a. Our understanding as an undergraduate at tcu Texas Christian University. Just giving you her thoughts, which sound pretty coherent. Ted Cruz, you ought to stop worrying about Muslims because they're Muslims. They brought on the people in the streets, and God bless them, okay, but they are Muslims. That brought on The Islamic Republic, their parents and many of them, hey, I'm sorry it didn't work out for him that it's the most murderous dictatorship. Fine, it's great. Overthrow it. Get to the streets. You're going to take a few casualties. That's just the way they. You don't think the Shah, where they killed tens of thousands of people when the shah brought the army out, started firing into the squares. The natural course of these things. People have to own things. This is how you get away from globalism. We're supposed to go in and decapitate. That was the regime change they tried to do in July and lied about it. Netanyahu, this crowd. So once it went after Qatar, you got what you got. I haven't seen Tel Aviv, Levin or any of these guys tweeting out President Trump's peace council. Peace, the strongest peace committee. It's going to run it. That deal's been cut. Witkoff's going to announce it, I think tomorrow or today. And they talk about Qatar, Egypt and Turkey sorting out the Hamas problem and Qatar's going to underwrite it and Egypt's going to. And Turkey is going to provide the security. Egyptian troops are going to be there with a foothold in Israel. This is why I'm arguing, hey, as Christians, we have to step up here. We need a Christian state in Israel. We need to take the Christian quarter of Jerusalem and we need to take a quarter to Bethlehem as a starter. That has to be our responsibility and our obligation that those are defended. Because who knows where this goes? You don't know. You have no earthy idea. Now you got a two state solution. They don't want to call it that. That's a two state solution. That foothold in Gaza, only going to get bigger. Only going to get bigger. You got Ted Cruz and Ted Cruz got his own state overwhelmed people coming. They got this ballot initiative, proposition 10, on, on the 3rd of March. We've started WHURAM Texas, it's on fire. People love it. They're sharing it everywhere. It's only going to get better. As we do the run up, I'm shifting the flag. We're going to have a field command in Texas for the month of February. In the run up of this, that's how important it is because Texas is the jewel in the crown and the can over. What's Ted Cruz doing? He walking through the Senate like a big sh. He's walking through and he's talking about we're got your back, we got this. We're going to do this. Let the pe, Let the Persians overthrow the Islamic Republic that they brought on themselves. Let me repeat that. People have to own these things. It's the process of history, just like in Venezuela. Let him own it. Let him do it. Eric Prince joins the Days with me also. Eric, you've now, they're talking about now private security forces in Venezuela. I know you've been pushing this for a while, but I gotta, I gotta start with the, with the Persian situation. They're, they're trying to pre position assets, but President Trump's saying, hey, listen, give me a target set that looks like we can come in at the end and basically finish this thing and let the people take it. I don't know, I don't want to do a massive bombing campaign and six months later have the ayatollah, you know, killing people in dungeons. And they can't do that. And it's broken the hearts of Tel Aviv Levin and Lindsey Graham's so broken up, he's flying, he's flying. He ain't going home to South Carolina. And I just talked about the Canadians taking care of the Carney problem. They got to throw that guy out of office. People in South Carolina, remember, Lady Lindsay represents you to the world because he's a global figure. Erik Prince, your thoughts, sir?

[Eric Prince]

Look, Gaza is not our problem. I agree with you on defending the Christian parts of Jerusalem or the Christian parts of the west bank even. This is going to get more tribal if the insanity continues the way it is.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I think.

[Eric Prince]

It'D be great to get rid of the mullahs, but again, it's not our problem. There's a lot of wealth, right? They call La tarantulas because there's so much Iranian wealth out there. Why don't they get together, spend money, support their people that are oppressed and free them? If my home state of West Michigan was suddenly invaded, you can imagine that I would do all possible to defend my people. And I am, I'm certainly not with a globalist on this one. I'm with you, Steve.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Eric, talk to me about also in Venezuela now we're talking about the oil assets. A lot of controversy about that, basically from Guyana to Venezuela to the Gulf of America to parts of Mexico to Texas and that huge arc I think you have, don't you have? And I'm not even counting the natural gas in Pennsylvania or what we got in North Dakota, because Pennsylvania in and of itself is the Saudi Arabia natural gas. But just in that arc down there where the Chinese, you know, the pla navy and the Russians, they're all running things, at least right now. Isn't that like 10x the world's oil supply? We got all the oil we need to control the world's markets and just to kind of make sure that we have our own national security.

[Eric Prince]

Sir, there's, there's been some noise about private security PMCs being hired by the US government to help in Venezuela. I think the best solution there is to let Venezuela hire the private sector. The problem is if, if the department of war or the department of state contracting bureaucracy tries to hire the capacity they need in Venezuela, it will be another Afghanistan or Iraq type debacle because you will have a brigade of lawyers that deploy and second guess everything. Delsey Rodriguez may not be a saint, but if she's the one that's going to be the interim president, she has to have the apex capability to actually put down. Because you're in a pause right now after the effect of removing Maduro. There's cartels, there's the ELN which is the local FARC variant. There's Iranians, there's Cubans, there's lots of the, the collectivos, all the neighborhood gangs, ah, they're all kind of laying low somewhat, just like in Baghdad or in Kabul after the fall back in 01 and in three but then within three or four months, total freaking chaos. There needs to be an apex force that is accountable in Venezuela that is capable, the most capable. And if you don't have that, it is going to be a debacle and the place will be uninvestable because oil companies don't want their people kidnapped. And this is not, you know, the kind of security that, that, that department of war is thinking about. Enough is, is gate guards. They want you, you want a capability that will actually smash these, these narcos.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And it can't be U.S. troops. As the, the vice president, the woman in charge now, her, she I call, she's Tony Soprano's daughter. Their family's history because they were correct, they're mobsters. Way before Chavez and these guys showed up, his business, their business model was, it was kidnapping U. S Oil executives. Ransom which the oil companies, oil people, and they paid it. Right? So they, they know the business, they got the model down there, right?

[Eric Prince]

That is correct. So again, to keep, to keep Venezuela from becoming Haiti, which had, I mean Venezuela has more weapons, significantly more natural resources. If you don't put real capability in there quickly because it's not like you're going to be doing close air Support for the oil companies from a Nimitz class carrier. That's not happening. I'd say the threshold of the US military ever being involved there again is exceedingly high, other than maybe a strike against one specific gang leader. So again you have to deploy real capability, not the kind of capability that that DoD or DoS contracting is ever going to be comfortable doing. Let the Venezuelan government hire what they need to do.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Not to the Haiti, the Haitian situation. Every other day I'm looking at is it Barbecue? Is it Mr. Barbecue? That's, that's places are getting torched every day. That, that contractors like yourself and I guess others are providing security to try to try to take the gangs out so you can actually have a government that actually can exist down in Haiti.

[Eric Prince]

Well, Mr. Barbecue is now homeless because his house was, was reduced two days ago and it is uninhabitable. It is a. What was a four story structure is now about one foot high. So look the gang solution in Haiti as the capability is working. Port au Prince, the capital is being retaken block by block, kilometer by kilometer. The model's working. All of which cost the US taxpayer zero. The Haitian government is funding this and the model works.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Talk to me about. Can you give us a minute on Carney? You saw Carney kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party. How the Arctic, the Canadian Arctic, which is fully exposed now. And I thought that would be the new Ukraine that the CCP would take a bite. It looks like now he's going to partner with them. Are we not in jeopardy cause of norad? Our entire NORAD system essentially is up in the Canadian north. Is that. Do we have a bigger problem there than we got in Greenland right now, sir?

[Eric Prince]

Yeah, look you have. They've had runaway immigration problems in, in, in Canada and obviously there's an entirely too friendly attitude with the Chinese Communist Party in the United States. It's, it's in his interest to defend its, its periphery. It's really warning network and some of those things should be non negotiable.

Host, Stephen K. Band. Dave Bratz with these running shotgun this morning. Hey, Dave, correct me if I'm wrong. Eric Prince is also Dutch reformed Calvinist. He's as, he's as dow as you are. You're from that west, you're from that western Michigan. Those dower Dutch reform Calvinists that really are the backbone of the country.

[Dave Bratz]

He is the backbone. He is the backbone. I worked for his dad's company way back when.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So give me a tour de horizon. You've seen this geopolitically. We've got a revolt in the United States. It's got to be addressed. You can't look the other way. Axios has got to read the story. Don't take it from war room. Read Axios. This is deeply reported in the buried lead in that story. And I quote from an anonymous source that had been in the meetings in the White House as President Trump. You know, is the polling, the GOP polling, it's a little weak. Is that President Trump still wants to do mass deportations. The operant word is mass deportations. That's quoted in the story by one of the people in the room. Dave. Brad, your thoughts on all of it?

[Dave Bratz]

Well, that's exactly right. I mean that issue, immigration, that's why President Trump is President Right. America first, that was the leading issue. And then no wars. And then he's working his economic magic when we got 5% economic growth right now out of nowhere. But back to yesterday, you know, part of this, most of this is Biden's fault with a 10 to 20 million influx in the border invasion. But also this is the fault of Congress and the lack of policy. Two things. And you wouldn't have this problem, E Verify, right? That that is verification of legal status to work at a company. And you got to fill out this E9 form and whatever, Right? But if our Congress would have put that in place, then, oh boy, maybe we wouldn't have, you know, polling numbers that are a little scary right now. And then secondly, cut off the government benefits for illegals and especially for the criminals, cut off all the benefits. And President Trump, to his credit, we talked about it yesterday, he's doing that, he's defunding these sanctuary cities and states, and I applaud him for all of that. But number three to his team on this polling data, hey, the reason the polling is going down is because our guys, our ICE officers are backing off from these thugs and Marxists and radicals in the streets. They're chasing our ICE officers who are not making progress. If you go in there and you should, they should draw a line on the street, say you cross this line and you're going to take a ride in that black paddy wagon right there, folks. And the cameras need to catch that on film. Not ICE officers backing up to the thugs and the leftists in the street who are just mocking us, right? They're not tough at all. They're just mocking us. And we need to have a strong force. And I think that's what President Trump is going to come in with. But the best way to win is to win. And the American people, the Hispanics, the African American community, the blue collar workers, all the America first people are waiting for President Trump to go full on. They will applaud, the polls will go through the roof, right? Trump goes in and when he goes in strong, we're going to crush it. He's the hero. Everybody knows it. And then just, you know, the other two points on the America first, the wars, right? We need to get back to the, we're not pacifists. It's not that we don't want war, but China's mucking around in Central America, South America with cartels, drug lords, Fentanyl, cocaine, all that kind of stuff. And we need to recall unrestricted warfare from the Chinese, the Drug problem, which Trump has messaged. And now the hemispheric dominance, which Trump is putting forward as his defense strategy. We're already at war with China. China in 2019, in the China Daily, which is their state mouthpiece apparatus, said they used the term people's war. Everybody needs to go Google that. People's war in 2019, it invoked Mao Zedongs military strategy, signifying a total national mobilization involving all of society, political, economic, cultural and military, to fight a protracted struggle against us, the usa. Steve Bannon has been on that for five years. It's not kinetic. Their whole philosophy in China is not to fire a shot. It's to win by crushing us. And we're losing it internal because everybody's worried about polling numbers instead of fighting the real enemy. And China's carny, he looked guilty. He looked like he was in very uncomfortable turf there. And using the term New World Order. Oh my word. He knows he's upside down on logic and morality and, and the principles. And so that's just. Stay true to America. First, Israel. Mossad, the head of Mossad is over here, coming over here to tell us to delay going over there with our, you know, our carrier battle groups, because they want a stronger show of force run that by the American people, right? When Mossad is intelligence, you don't know anything Mossad does. So when they're in the press, I mean, it's like, come on, you know, pay attention, America. And we don't want our boys being put in this. And with Cruz marching down the hallway too, you know, be very careful, politicians, when you promise the Iranian people were coming in, what does that mean? Because I don't want them making a foolish move thinking we're coming in with boots on the ground, because I don't think we're gonna.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

That's what he's promising. It's not gonna happen. Ted Cruz ought to worry about. Ought to worry about what? What he and Ben Shapiro and Tel Aviv, Mark Levin, what they've wrought in Gaza. What you brought in Gaza is a 2. I just had Eric Prince volunteer to be the interim head of the new Christian state of Jerusalem, which we have to have because there's no assurances now President Trump has said, hey, this is not a top order problem. I've come up with a solution, right? This is a solution. I'm gonna move on to the next thing, as he should do. He worked that problem. He spent so much time because, you know, Netanyahu, they're coming over 10 times. Then they started bombing, lying about the nuclear program. As we know, he told the Times of Israel reported what he had to tell his cabinet till his cabinet was two years away. He told everybody here was two weeks away. Even Fox News Brent Baer called him out on that. The thing's a mess. Just hey, I haven't seen Mark Levin or any of the Israel first crowd. Ted Cruz, I haven't seen the retweet, the president's tweet. Just haven't seen it. Address that first address Mandame and address that first. And address, address Texas. Do that first before you start worrying about Tehran. The problem of for Israel and the Jewish people ain't in the streets at Tehran. Trust me. That's all, that's all contrived. It's in the city, it's in the mayor's office in New York City, it's in London, it's in Texas. And hey, is it going to be in Gaza? I don't know. Cutter's putting up the money in the the Turks are putting up the muscle. I thought General Allenby and Lawrence of Arabia and all that crowd, the British army, I thought they drove the Ottomans out of there a hundred years ago, didn't we? This is all brought on people by Ted Cruz and that crowd. Ted Cruz, start focusing on Texas. You got a big problem in Texas. That undergraduate tcu, she told you what the problem is. Focus on her. Listen to her. Short break. Dr. Peter Navarro on the economy. Next in the world.
