Episode 5076: Globalists Warning To President Trump; Tech Oligarchs Still In Bed With Foreign Interests
Date: January 17, 2026
Host: Steve Bannon (WarRoom.org)

Episode Overview

This episode focuses on escalating geopolitical tensions at the US northern border, particularly concerning Canada’s developing ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The panel analyzes the strategic implications for US national security, especially regarding key Arctic routes and NORAD. The second half dives into the role of American tech oligarchs in enabling China’s AI and semiconductor ambitions, as well as the policy fights emerging in Congress over chip exports. Throughout, Bannon returns to the “America First” doctrine and issues warnings to both US and Canadian elites regarding national sovereignty, hemispheric defense, and the dangers of economic entanglement with the CCP.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Canada’s Strategic Shift and CCP Influence

• Bannon introduces Canada as a mounting security concern for the US, alluding to recent events where Canadian leaders, such as Mark Carney, “kowtow to the Chinese Communist Party” [00:53], and framing this as a “huge issue” for President Trump.
• Chris Tomlinson (National Pulse) outlines the geopolitical landscape:
  • The importance of Greenland, the Panama Canal, and especially Canada in hemispheric defense.
  • Warns that Canada’s deal with the CCP might serve as a pressure tactic toward the US, especially after failed trade negotiations, blaming "Ontario Premier Doug Ford...publishing doctored footage" [01:48].
  • Emphasizes the Northwest Passage as a new, traversable Arctic trade route due to global warming, increasing its value for commerce and military positioning [03:39].

Quote (Tomlinson, 03:39):
“China realizes...if you control the choke points of trade, you control the world.”

2. Arctic as the "Great Game" of the 21st Century

• Bannon calls Arctic control “the great game of the 21st century” [05:11], likening Chinese expansion to both Mackinder (land power) and Mahanian (sea power) theories.
• Brian T. Kennedy gives historical context:
  • During the Cold War, the US had war plans to invade Canada if it fell to Soviet control — “it would be intolerable to have a foreign power above our northern border” [06:51].
  • Expresses alarm at Canada’s potential “strategic partnership with a known enemy,” and calls for immediate reevaluation of "Five Eyes" and NORAD cooperation.
  • Raises the specter of Chinese troops potentially operating in Canada under military pretenses [08:00].

Quote (Kennedy, 06:51):
“We're going to have to reevaluate that Five Eyes relationship with Canada today, not next week, not next month.”

3. Canadian Political and Demographic Change

• Bannon and Kennedy voice concern over demographic shifts (25% of Canada’s population foreign-born) and assert a radical political shift toward anti-US sentiment among Canadian elites [10:00-12:23].
• Kennedy attributes the change to “radical leftists,” unchecked immigration, and criminal networks, alleging that “the central enemy of the United States” is now being courted by Canada.

Quote (Kennedy, 12:23):
“Canada, like much of the West, has lost its mind and is simply not interested in its own survival.”

4. Warnings and America First Doctrine

• Bannon issues a stern warning to Canadian politicians: “You play with the...Chinese Communist Party, then guess what...You will rue the day that you did that” [18:58].
• Praises Canada’s historical role as an ally, but insists the US will not let Canadian decisions undermine US security.

Quote (Bannon, 18:58): “If Carney and these globalists in Canada think they're going to sell out the United States...you have another thing coming.”

5. Tech Oligarchs, Chip Exports, and AI

• Joe Allen and Dave Brat focus on American tech companies (notably Nvidia) enabling China’s AI development through chip exports.
• Discussion of the legislative battle around the Overwatch Act:
  • Seeks to restrict chip exports to adversaries, requiring Congressional oversight.
  • Allen critiques Nvidia’s interests and voices suspicion regarding tech leaders like Jensen Huang’s ties to the CCP [35:53–43:08].
  • Highlights the argument that denying China chips forces them to develop their own ("indigenous chips"), but asserts that direct US supply accelerates China’s AI capabilities anyway.
  • The stakes: control of the future of AI.

Quote (Allen, 43:08): “If we keep providing China with the chips to use and perhaps reverse engineer, it only builds up their AI training and inference capacity.”

Quote (Bannon, 35:53): “Anything that helps the Chinese Communist Party build an ecosystem with chips...anything that helps them on AI at all is bad and must be stopped.”

6. Broader Context and Call to Action

• Bannon, Kennedy, and Brat each reframe these issues as part of a wider "unrestricted warfare" waged by China—biological (COVID), chemical (fentanyl), and now by economic and technological encirclement.
• Urges the need for vigilance against the corruption of global elites and for the administration to fully adopt an “America First” mindset [48:07].

Quote (Kennedy, 48:07): “We've not yet built completely in this country an America first mindset that understands that the Chinese are this kind of a threat.”

Conclusion & Tone

This episode is a high-energy, urgent warning about shifting alliances and perceived betrayals in North America, delivered in Bannon’s adversarial, martial tone. Expert guests provide historical context, detailed geopolitical and tech briefings, and calls to action for listeners. The second half spotlights the structural risks posed by American business interests collaborating with China on AI, framing US tech oligarchs as both naive and self-interested at the country’s expense.

The core takeaway: The war room sees a two-front threat—geopolitical encirclement via Canada’s new ties with China, and technological/surveillance empowerment of the CCP via US chip exports. Both, they argue, must be met with aggressive, America First policies and vigilance against the influence of compromised elites.

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.

[Jim Rickards]

All these networks lying about the people.

[Steve Bannon]

The people have had a belly full of it.

[Jim Rickards]

I know you don't like hearing that.

[Steve 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.

[Jim Rickards]

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

[Joe Allen]

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Saturday the 17th of January, year of alert 2026. Thanks for sticking around for the second hour. So Tomlinson, walk me through you, you know Canada as well as anybody. Walk me through how this, how this is going to evolve because this is going to get, I tell people, Greenland in the hemispheric defense, Greenland's big, Panama Canal's big, cleaning out Latin America, making sure it's sorted as big. But Canada is huge and this is going to be an issue. I said this six months ago. There's going to be a big, big issue. And Carney's kowtow to the Chinese Communist Party is a, has gotta be a flare up to say that we got a problem out there. And I gotta tell you, President Trump's just not gonna, you know, let the CCP become an active strategic partner in Canada. Not going to happen. So Tomlinson, walk me through your best ideas, your best guess of how this evolves.

[Chris Tomlinson]

I think right now, if you look at some of the proposed stuff in the deal, most of it is ending by the end of the year. And I think that that too from the Canadians is essentially the warning to the Americans to President Trump to say that, look, maybe we will stop this if you do what we want, despite the fact that it was the Canadians themselves, specifically Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who messed up all of the trade negotiations by publishing a doctored footage of Ronald Reagan last year. Anyway, so it was the Canadians who scuppered the initial trade talks. So I think that's on the table. But I think if we look deeper into what's going on, I think strategically, obviously Greenland is a major issue for missile defense, for a number of other things, but I think one of the important things too, that a lot of people aren't talking about is the Northwest Passage, because the North Northwest Passage goes between. The shortest point on the eastern side of the Northwest Passage is between Baffin Island, Canada, and between Greenland. And so who controls that is not the United States, either way, but the United States does control the exit of the Northwest Passage, which is between, which is in Alaska, between Alaska and Russia. And so not having that under some sort of control would allow potentially the Chinese to come in and the Chinese to control that in the way that they do with the.

[Steve Bannon]

Take a second, hang on. Take, take, take, take a second. Well, the Panama Canal, they're getting cleared out. This is why the Northwest Passage is very big. First time we talk about here. Why is that not the mythical Northwest Passage that so many people gave their lives to freezing to death up there to find? The mythical Northwest Passage? Why is it an actual, a reality and going to become more and more geostrategically important? Sir?

[Chris Tomlinson]

Well, it's become more strategically important, but I mean, if you believe in global warming, obviously it's going to be more traversable. It's going to be more traversable because of Arctic exploration. So you're going to see more countries wanting to use it as a trade route and also use it as a method to be able to explore Arctic resources and use that as a way to transport Arctic resources, whether we're going to find more rare earths up there or whatever it may be in Greenland or wherever. But I mean, it is a major trade route that was always sought out. But back in, in those days, in the 1800s, early 1900s, it wasn't necessarily that they had the technology to be able to do it, especially in the winter and the winters there were generally colder than they are now, too. So it will be in the future a major trade route, just as much as the Panama Canal, just as much as the Suez Canal. And China realizes this. China realizes, just like America, just like the British Empire did, that if you control the choke points of trade, you control the world.

[Steve Bannon]

Chris, where do people go to get your reportage over at the, over at the National Pulse.

[Chris Tomlinson]

Just National Pulse. And then my name, Chris Tomlinson, C, H, R, I, S. Although it's, it's spelled Christopher, it's my full name. So Christopher Tomlinson. And then I'm also on X at Tomlinson and then C.J.

[Steve Bannon]

Chris, thank you so much. Great piece. Tell Rahim, fantastic. We'll push this out hard. A one of the most, the most brilliant guys about this entire situation. Chris Tomlinson of National Pulse Kennedy. And Brad, I'll start with you, Brian. Folks, this is going to Be a big deal. Number one. I believe Canada is our number one or number, you know, Mexico and Canada are two biggest trading partners. The situation in Canada is big. As I said, they scuppered the first round of real serious trade talks. You've got this situation with national security. All the NORAD system really is predicated upon a huge amount of that is predicated upon the sites in Canada. Remember, this is why the Arctic is going to be such, what I call the great game of the 21st century. Who controls the Arctic is going to have a major ability to control the world. And the Chinese Communist Party know this. They're evil, but they're not dumb. And they're quite strategic, as you've seen how we're having to roll them back from every choke point in the world. Now the Chinese Communist Party is, they're the first to kind of take both Mackinder's control, the pivot of the Eurasian, the center of the Eurasian landmass, the heart of the world island, also to take on the British Empire's Mahanian strategy. This is what they've done with one belt, one road, to try to do both simultaneously. Brian Kennedy, how serious is this situation in Canada given the Prime Minister's kowtow to the Chinese Communist Party on global television?

[Brian T. Kennedy]

Sir, you know, Steve, I think this is just huge. This will be one of the big issues that the President is going to have to deal with in the days and weeks ahead. Look, during the Cold War, the Department of Defense, or now the Department of War, had plans for the invasion of Canada. Because during the Cold War, if we somehow lost Alaska and Canada to the Soviet Union, we from the United States were going to have to invade Canada and take them back. Because it would be intolerable to have a foreign power right above our northern border. Not merely because of the ideas of the Monroe Doctrine, but just commonsensically that provides us with top cover defense. Alaska today is our main top cover military base to defend the United States. Canada is right there as well. So when we look at what, what Carney is saying here, he is making, he says, a strategic partnership with a known enemy of the United states. May of 2019, they declared a people's war, Communist China did, against the United States. They've never repealed that. And so Carney, who knows that, has made a strategic partnership with an enemy nation of the United States. Not only does that affect norad, but they're a member of the Five Eyes intelligence cooperation. And so we're going to have to reevaluate that Five eyes relationship with Canada today, not next week, not next month, today we're going to have to make a reevaluation of that. We need to evaluate today whether NORAD is secure and whether we're going to be able to rely on Canada at all. What if Canada, under this strategic partnership allows Chinese troops to operate on Canadian soil in some kind of bs, you know, relationship building exercise? This is fundamentally intolerable for there to be a strategic partnership. Let me say, Steve, I'm concerned that the Chinese and the Canadians also just don't think we're serious about what we're doing here. The president is absolutely dead serious. But back to our earlier conversation about illegal immigration. During Those Biden years, 200,000 Chinese men of military age would appear to be Special Forces came across our border. What are we doing today to root out those 200,000 Chinese nationals which appear to be Special Forces who are operating here in the United States. And I would tell you we don't have efforts going on adequately to make that a reality. The Chinese know this and they may think we're not serious. The Canadians know this and they may think we're not serious. Actions need to be taken by President Trump to demonstrate just how serious we are about both the immigration problem and how we're dealing with Communist China.

[Steve Bannon]

My other fear too is that when you talk about the Arctic north which used to be Canada's Great Barrier, it's now their biggest exposure. This is why I say they could be the next Ukraine, where there you have two Slavic entities fighting over the Russian speaking eastern border. It's turned into a major war, a destructive war, but it's not in the vital national security interests of the United States. Canada's north, you just heard about the Northwest Passage, which is right on top of their territorial. If the Chinese Communist Party, either one works out some agreement to have basing rights or some sort of exercise rights there or just decides that Canada can't defend it because the president of China came in 2010 and gave a speech. He had a, he had a state visit to Canada and in the middle of that, I think he gave a speech where he said, hey, we're in Arctic power too. And they were looking around going, China's an Arctic power. What do they mean by that? He was targeting Canada and that is in the vital. Canada is in the vital national security interest of the United States. Some of our forefathers, forefathers thought that too. Both in the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, you know, et cetera, where we invaded Canada A couple of times in the, in the French and Indian War, which was all about Canada, right. American troops as part of the British Empire fought with General Wolf and others. So Canada has been always kind of a linchpin for American security. Now with advanced technology, it's even bigger in the Northwest Passage, it's even a bigger. And what we're doing in Greenland, I mean, this is inextricably linked to hemispheric defense. Hemispheric defense for the United States starts in Canada. Carney and there are people worse than Carney there. You're seeing a shift in Canada right now. And this is why I think Alberta in this succession movement, they're seeing, they're sitting there going, it's not just about economics, that's not about tax policy. Canada is rapidly changing. 25% of Canada's. You just heard Tomlinson say 25% of Canada's population is foreign born. 25% right now. Canada is rapidly changing. And I'm going to tell you, if you look at Parliament, if you look at some of these papers, you look at the discussion on TV there, Brian Kennedy, these people are hostile to the United States of America. Not neutral. They're hostile to the United States of America, sir.

[Brian T. Kennedy]

No, they're radical leftist, Steve. Canada, like much of the west, has lost its mind and it's simply not interested in its own survival. You saw how brutal they were to their own people during the whole Covid, you know, pandemic. And they, they did not acquit themselves very well. You saw the tyrannical soul of Canada emerge rather quickly. But they're, they're, they're not interested in securing their country. The Chinese triads and other criminal organizations operate freely in Canada doing all sorts of things that bleed over into the United States. They've allowed unchecked illegal immigration or actually mostly probably legal immigration, allowing in large numbers of Muslims. There are people who no longer believe in themselves. And so they, they present a unique problem to us that we simply can't let fester. The two most important nations to us immediately are Canada and Mexico because problems there bleed over into the United States. Here we have a Canadian problem, Prime Minister and a Canadian, you know, government that is friendly to a central enemy of the United States. The central enemy of the United States. And President Trump really needs to get on top of this as soon as he can now.

[Steve Bannon]

And this was a brazen cowtown.

[Jim Rickards]

Brian, I'm going to ask you to.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang around because we're going to talk about chips and selling chips, artificial intelligence in which some people, the Berlagar, want to help the Chinese Communist Party. I don't quite understand this. Brian Kennedy, can you stick around? Dave Bratz with us. Joe Allen's about to join us. Now more than ever, I think you need to understand why central banks throughout the world are buying gold at record rates. We started this program called the End of the Dollar Empire. It's not that we want the end of the dollar empire, but we're telling you it's happening. You can tell that. And now Canada is joined in in a big way. Canada's basically taking the position of the BRICS nations. Go to birchgold.com promo code Bannon enter the Dollar Empire.

Plus, Getter is the simplest. If I can use it, I'm a moron. You can use it. I might add that to Brian Kennedy also. Huawei was allowed to run wild in Canada. They've allowed these Chinese companies, which, you know, all tied, are all deeply tied to the ccp. There's no. There's no freedom of these companies. In fact, this is the reason. Just to make sure that the Warren Posse has always got the latest and best information. Brian Kennedy talked about a people's war declaration by Xi in May of 2019. Why? Because they'd had their first conference on One Belt, One Road, first big conference. I think it was in Shanghai. Putin showed up. They thought they were kings of the world. Then Lighthizer, Bob Lighthizer and Peter Navarro. For two years. Two years. I was there for the beginning of it. Two years. Laid out the most definitive deal that would have integrated the Chinese Communist Party's economy into the world economy and taken away of what Peter Navarro says, these seven original sins. The excess capacity that they used to drive down prices, the labor issues, all of it, environmental issues, all of it. Financially integrate. And they sat there. Wan Xishan and Xi reviewed Lihe, the total report after the One Belt and Road conference and said, if we do this, we're essentially going to be submitting to the foreign devils. And Trump is king. Foreign devil. We can't submit to anything that Trump's got a hand in after two years. And they fully negotiated. This thing was enormous. Hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, for two years, they just tore it up. The Chinese have a phrase, circumstances change. Lao Baijin can tell you about that. Circumstances changed. They looked around, they declared a people's war. And wow, what happened shortly after that? Oh, yeah, that's right. The COVID pandemic started in the military games in the, I think, August and September of that year.

[Brian T. Kennedy]

Yep.

[Steve Bannon]

The biological bomb that they dropped in the United States to end President Trump's political career. Well, guess what? They were wrong. I can't emphasize enough geostrategically how they are trying to do a pincer move. This is why we're cleaning them out in Central America, in the Caribbean, in the Gulf of America, in Venezuela, in Latin America. Hello, Brazil. Lula's their business partner. Got to get to that, they've tried to surround the United States and they tried biological warfare. They're in chemical warfare. That's what fentanyl is. Fentanyl is just Opium War 2.0. They've reverse opium War to kill Americans. More Americans every year than in Vietnam and now in Canada. And just a note to all the patriotic Canadians, particularly people in Alberta and those western provinces, you're not. If Carney and these globalists in Canada think they're going to sell out the United States and expose the United States on its northern border and expose us on NORAD and the Arctic to the Chinese Communist Party, you have another thing coming. Have you seen President Trump act with alacrity on hemispheric defense, whether that is in Greenland or in Venezuela or cleaning up this western hemisphere to make sure that America first and American citizens first, you were sadly mistaken. And let me be blunt. You are playing with fire. You play with the. You get in bed with the Chinese Communist Party, then guess what people now say, say, hey, they made a decision. They're in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. And you will rue the day that you did that. Canada's been one of America's best allies, pound for pound in World War II, World War I. Their heroism and valor of Canadian troops unparalleled. Tough as boot leather and always there. Right. Shoulder to shoulder with you on D Day. But I gotta tell you, the country of Canada has radically changed. But we're not going to let your problems be our problems. Just assume you're on notice. This is very serious. I knew this was going to be very serious because I could see the direction you were going to. And you look at beta males like Carney, they're the most dangerous. White beta males like Carney are some of the most dangerous people in the world. Like these white progressive women, the Karens, some of the most dangerous folks on Earth. Okay? They'll get you in more trouble. Well, the United States is not going to get in trouble on the and particularly in the Arctic, because if you think President Trump's moving with alacrity and urgency in Greenland, I don't think you've seen nothing yet. Dave. Brad, Thoughts?

[Dave Brat]

Yeah, I think you and Brian set it up perfectly. The cold open had the press mocking President. What does he think he can do here? Just throw power around it indiscriminately? No, it's not indiscriminate, Brian. Kennedy just said China is at war with us. Right? That's what the press doesn't quite get. The American people are going to see this huge turn in geopolitics right now. And Canada, they do have, you know, Trump derangement syndrome or whatever. Canada and the Europeans together, right? What's the biggest threat to the Bretton woods liberal rules based order? Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. Bad, bad, bad. Russia's nothing compared to China. China is worse than atheistic country at war with the United States already and nothing to say there. They're making trade deals with a country who's already at war with the United States of America. We need to make it very clear to them we have, you know, good ideas about the UK flag flying and the kinship. They're going way back. But this is a, you know, a tectonic change up north with Russia and China and the sea lanes and the rare earth minerals and our autonomy and sovereignty as a country. And I think they might have got a signal yesterday. I think Pete Hoekstra, the ambassador to Canada came out and said, you know, in the context of trade, we don't need Canada. So that's laying it down. And I doubt he came up with that line on his own. Yeah, President Trump is going to make it very clear. Yeah, no, he's.

[Steve Bannon]

He didn't win.

[Dave Brat]

President Trump is hoaxer, doesn't win.

[Steve Bannon]

This is not about, does not wing.

[Dave Brat]

No, no, no. This is not about little anecdotes around the fringes of trade policy. This is tectonic changes in the geopolitics listed in our hemispheric dominance and Trump's new foreign policy strategy document. It's all right there. And he's given plenty clear language on Venezuela, Greenland. It's very powerful language. And Canada has not got the memo yet.

[Steve Bannon]

Two things I want, if Grace can do this and Mo can do it, is two things I want to re put out for the posse for reading material for the weekend is number one, to put out the National Security Strategy memo. It's 33 pages long, people. You should. If you just don't have time to skim it, just skim it. You should be familiar with this. Also, I'm going to put out over the weekend to give Grace and Mo the 1991 memo of the Muslim Brotherhood that was in the Holy Land in Texas. The Texas thing's on fire right now. We want to thank everybody so supporting it. Next week we're going to get into it even more. Three days a week at 6 o'. Clock. Also, every day on the show, we're going to be talking about Texas and this Muslim invasion. So I want people to read that in the context of the Chinese Communist Party has declared a people's war on the United States. They're not a competitor. They're not a strategic partner. They're none of that. They're at war. They're at unrestricted economic war with the United States of America and political war and psychological war. Joe Allen joins us. Joe, first off, people were confused. Was that some Erzat copy of Steve Bannon on the stage with you Thursday night in Nashville? What in the hell is going on? I've got copyrighted. I've copyrighted myself. I've trademarked myself. Some guy just can't show up and try to be a pretend Steve Bannon. There's gotta be. He's gotta get a license. Deal, sir.

[Joe Allen]

Well, Steve, that was actually preemptive on my part. I had tried to get him to put the application in for the license, but he had the three pins and the work boots. So I felt like. I felt like a pre approval was in order. Yeah, that was Virgil Davis of the.

[Steve Bannon]

PA and the Barber and the. And the. And the Barber and the Barber jacket. No, I'm just kidding. I have not trademarked myself. If you want to do that, you got to do it. But it was. Tell me about. Just real quickly, I heard it's packed again. I want everybody to know we are sending Joe. One of the big aspects we're trying to do with Joe is sending him around the country so you actually get to meet him and hear what he has to say. It's great on the War Room. It's great on everything he's doing and on the shows he does here, the 6 o' clock shows, when he does his own shows. But it's best in person. And so I want to make sure Joe, everybody gets access to you. How did Thursday night go in Nashville?

[Joe Allen]

Oh, it was fantastic. It was at the eighth Room, which is without a doubt the coolest venue in all of Nashville. And I don't just say that because Jason Hollis invited me and allowed me. But, yeah, the videos are actually up right now on War Rooms Rumble page. You can also find it on my social media at XYZ or the War Room X account or Getter account. But, yeah, it was fantastic. And the crowd was phenomenal. You know, I stayed for probably three hours afterward talking with people, and these are not people who were new to the subject. These were people who were very, very astute when it comes to artificial intelligence, transhumanism, all of that. And it was also a lot of fun. So, next stuff coming up in Florida on January 20th Tuesday, I'll be giving a presentation at a press conference on child safety in Tallahassee, Florida. More info to come on that. And then further on down the road, Dallas and Georgia.

[Steve Bannon]

We want everybody to get access to Joe. So hang over a second. First off, brat was here. We were going to go through Christian nationalism for the entire second hour. Obviously, we've, I've done terrible time management. We've been overwhelmed by very important events. So Brad and I are going to restructure. Dave's going to stick around because I want his voice onto this artificial, this artificial intelligence issue that's now before Congress. Also, Brian Kennedy, our lead sled dog in this is Joe Allen. We're going to take a short commercial break. We're going to be back in the worm in just a moment.

[Jim Rickards]

If you can 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 card and other debt? 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 year end. 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 donewithdebt.com donewithdet.com do it today.

[Jim Rickards]

Taj Gill.

[Steve Bannon]

Navy SEALs are also experts in Arctic warfare, are they not?

[Taj Gill]

Sir, yes, sir, that's correct. We used to go up to Alaska all the time and train up there and all the cold places in America and overseas all the time.

[Steve Bannon]

So you're on call. Navy, Navy seals and the other special operators are quite familiar with, with how you have to operate because it's very different than in the Middle east and in these tropical conditions in the Arctic. You guys are fully up to speed on that?

[Taj Gill]

Oh, yeah, we're ready to go. Places like North Korea, obviously. Look at, look at, look what's going on in Europe, in Ukraine, that's cold weather fighting. So we have east coast teams, they're prepared to fight in the cold. In Europe, the West coast teams were prepared to fight in places like North Korea and then you have places like Chile down in South America. These are all cold weather environments. And we used to train all the time to go in these places. We used to do it all. We used to swim over the beach through the ice, we snowshoed, we did the telemarking, the cross country scheme, we built everything, igloos, ice caves, we did all our tactics in cold weather environments. And then Afghanistan, that's a perfect place. We're in Afghanistan for decades fighting in the cold there. So yes, we can fight in the cold. We're prepared to fight in the cold and we're experts in it.

[Steve Bannon]

In the, in the Hindu Kush. Let's just keep that in our back pocket as we say. President Trump's got that in his back pocket. I need a cup of after today's show and folks, on the 20th we're going to have on Monday and Tuesday really do summaries also of what President Trump's accomplished. Has it been perfect? No, it has not been perfect. Has it been the biggest in scale? And we'll go through each kind of sector, bigger than FDR's first year, bigger than any president's first year. It's been monumental and we're going to go through it and so much more work to do. We got that. But directionally, if you particularly see some of these hardest things, it's been insanely impressive. And we're going to go through all of it, the good and the bad. But I need a cup of coffee. I'm going to need coffee all weekend to make sure that we get these shows right. So where do I go? Taj?

[Taj Gill]

Yeah, we've got, we've got plenty of coffee. You go to Warpath Coffee is the website. Use promo code War room. We're doing 20% off right now for the War Room Posse. We always have the biggest sales for the War Room Posse. And just go on our website and read the reviews. We're over 16,000 reviews right now. People love our coffee. Is the best coffee out there.

We use high quality, super fresh beans and we're experts at roasting it. That's why it tastes the way it does. We don't burn the beans at all whatsoever. That's why it's not acidic. It's.

I drink shots of espresso black and it's, it's amazing. People love our coffee. Just Warpath Coffee promo code War Room. And read the reviews.

[Steve Bannon]

Yep, the shots are best. So just read the reviews. Don't take it from taste. Don't take it from me. Just read the reviews. Taj Gill, thank you so much. Look forward to having you on next week. The Lincoln Battle Group, or STRIKE Group, is heading towards from the South China Sea through the Straits of Malacca into the Indian Ocean. Headed to the North Arabian Sea to be on station, I don't know, sometime over this weekend, early next week. We'll have t back on to talk. Walk us through that. Also, Captain Fennell, some of our great naval officers that join us. Joe. So, Joe Allen, I want you to walk through this right now because the Chinese Communist Party is a sworn enemy of the United States. There's a lot of confusion. Anything that helps, let me just pause it and we'll grab the breakthrough. Because you got allies on both sides and guys in spinning about, oh, they're helping the Chinese Communist Party. Anything that helps the Chinese Communist Party build an ecosystem with chips, with training, with students, with money, with equity and debt, anything that helps them on AI at all is bad and must be stopped. We did not help the Soviets during the height of the Cold War, in the late 50s and early 60s, spies gave them the atomic bomb and spies gave them the hydrogen bomb. And some people paid for their life with that. They were executed for giving secrets to the hydrogen bomb. But we were not in the business of having American industry be in business with them and partners with them in American capital, venture capital, private equity, anything to help them finance it. Joe, walk through this latest. There's a big fracas and it's going to get more bitter and we're going to cover it in detail on Capitol Hill. What do you got for us, sir?

[Joe Allen]

Steve the controversy surrounds the Overwatch Act. The Overwatch act is put forward by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast of Florida. The bill itself, at least in the form that I've read, the bill itself basically requires the Commerce Secretary, so that would presently be Howard Lutnick, to produce a national security strategy on chip exports that would include the AI capabilities of adversaries, that would include the indigenous chip production capacity of foreign adversaries. Any US Company that wants to export chips to an adversary, and that would naturally be in video, any US Company that wants to export to an adversary would have to submit an application to the Commerce Secretary and or the Commerce Department, which would then go to Congress, and Congress would then review the application. And if it was determined that the chip exports would give an advantage to a foreign adversary, they specifically name China, North Korea, Venezuela, so on and so forth, then Congress would have the power to veto the export, to block the export. Now, the argument on the other side is that this somehow subverts the President's ability to block chip exports. The bill itself doesn't mention the President at all. And of course, the President is naturally going to have the power to conduct foreign trade deals. And it doesn't in any way, as far as I can tell, impede the President's ability to block chip exports to adversaries. So given that David Sacks is the biggest critic of this and one imagines Nvidia is behind the scenes, perhaps even supporting arguments against the bill that the the opposition is largely based on the fear that Nvidia won't be able to expand their market even further into China.

[Steve Bannon]

This fight, this is a follow on from the fight. So we killed, we killed the amnesty bill. Sachs. The only real defeat that President Trump's had is the face plant that Sachs led him into on trying to do the amnesty bill. On the, on the big beautiful bill, number one, took the exact same thing. This the arrogance and naivete, both. They're naive and they're arrogant at the same time. They took the exact same thing and tried to slide it into the ndaa because the National Defense Authority act is also a must pass. The big beautiful bills must pass for the President of the Republican Party. It's technically not a must pass, but they had to do it. So they took two must pass piece of legislation to try to slide it in and got crushed. Not beaten, got crushed. The first one was they actually brought to a vote in the middle of night, 99 to 1. Even Ted Cruz and what a beauty he is. You see him walking around, I put it up the other day. See him walking around Congress with the, you know, he's all about the Persians, yo, what's happening in Persia right now? They're Muslims, all of them, virtually. They threw us out back in 79. Now they're trying to throw the Islamic Republic out as they should. Go for it. Scott Bessem. Folks got a war plan, economic war plan. It's working perfectly. Doesn't take any American troops, no American kinetic activity. Cruz is walk around, we've got your back. Basically implying we're going to come in with military direct kinetic activity. And he hasn't said a word about the Islamic invasion of his state of Texas. What he's supposed to represent, although you never hear him talking about he never lifted a finger on the invasion under the Biden years. Didn't lift a finger. Hasn't lifted a finger here. And this is the problem you got now after these guys were face planted twice and they've been lying and spinning the President behind the scenes because they don't want accountability for their face plant. Now they're trying to move in 10 different directions. The central thing here is though, we have to make sure, however the legislation's crafted. Joe Allen, do you agree with me? We have to make sure. And Nvidia. That guy's an agent of the Chinese. Jensen Wong is an agent of the Chinese Communist Party. He's pitching the CCP all the time. No problem. We'll just let him have chips. And, you know, we want them to be in, you know, our substack. We want them to be in our environment. They don't care about that. This is when they declared the people's War in May of 2019. They also said we're not the reason they declared the People's War. And they didn't sign the deal with Lighthizer and Navarre that they had set up for two years of negotiation. They said, hey, as part of this, the foreign devil's technology is going to rule us. We're not going to do that. We're going to break off. We're going to have an actual divide in technology. They will never let themselves be under the rule of the foreign devils. That would be you. You're a foreign devil. Okay, that's the United States of America. So, Joe, where do we. And people. And this is the biggest single behind the scenes, this is the biggest fight because this is really for control of the future. And we cannot allow. And this argument they make, we're in a Sputnik moment. The they are the ones that are backing continue to give the total ecosystem to the Chinese Communist Party. Why are they doing that, you might ask? Because they're making a ton of money. Joe Allen, where do we stand with all of this? I know the great senator from Tennessee has got bills up. We got all that. Where do we stand with Mike Davis and the four Cs?

[Brian T. Kennedy]

Sir.

[Joe Allen]

The four Cs are enshrined in the EO pushed by David Sacks and should be recognized as such. The chip exports. You know, Steve, you're talking about the chip exports to China. Another argument you hear from David Sacks all the time is that if you don't lock in American exports to China, then China's own indigenous chips. Chips will benefit.

[Dave Brat]

Right.

[Joe Allen]

You'll have Huawei producing Ascend chips and filling data centers with it. Well, if you look at the statistics, I think Epoch AI has the best compilation. Huawei represents a tiny fraction of chip manufacturing and exports. Nvidia represents the vast majority and over 60% of the compute worldwide. I think it's pretty clear that if we keep providing China with the chips to use and perhaps reverse engineer, it only builds up their AI training and inference capacity. And on that note, that benefits US companies that want to accelerate the technology because what's the justification we have to beat China? What better way to justify acceleration than to build up your adversary, even if it's in a limited capacity?

[Steve Bannon]

I know it's making your brain hurt already, Joe. I know you got a bounce. You got a lot to do. Where do people go to get all your content?

[Joe Allen]

Latest talk is up at the War Room Rumble page and my website at JoeBot, XYZ and my social media X, Y, Z. Thank you very much, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

[Steve Bannon]

Act today.

[Joe Allen]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, I'll be up on Getter. And there's all types of news breaking. Number one, President Trump's in a firefight with JP Morgan. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump has offered Jamie Dimon, the chairman CEO of JP Morgan, to be the head of the Federal Reserve. President Trump said that is a bald face lie. So there's a lot going on behind there. We're going to obviously talk to the treasury folks. Also implies that Trump offered Dimon the job of Secretary treasury for Scott Bess. And I know for a fact that's a bald face. I remember the fight Elon and I got in there. Elon wanted Lutnick and we wanted our colleague Bessant. And I think we've proven that that was a pretty smart move. Scott Bessant, pretty safe bare hands. Done a great job of Treasury. Dave Brat, you and I are going to carve out an hour and go through this Ezra Klein podcast with the guy running from this beta mail running in the state of Texas for Senate to Christian nationalism. You've done a great job. We're going to break it down. We just got overwhelmed today. Give me your summary thoughts in 60 seconds. Sir.

[Dave Brat]

Yeah, well, Christian nationalism is pretty much just applying Christian common sense, real Christian common sense around the world. When it comes to Canada and Kearney, we supported you guys for 70 years. We paid the bills. We paid. This is not a Christian love coming back from Canada to us. You guys gotta be kidding. On artificial intelligence they have monopoly structure. In the deal I think I was up in D.C. for I learned a crucial truth. I think it's easier for them to control what one entity called the national government than 50 states. But other than that, you got the oligarchs running that and as it rolls out we're seeing problems with the kids. I think the Christian impulse is going to have major problems with the rollout and the effect on the kids. Zuckerberg wants to roll out friend goggles. You only need three friends according to Zuckerberg and we can give some of them through goggles. I don't think Christianity Common sense is going to love that. And so stay tuned. We'll, we'll cut across all the issues. Christianity, common sense and love for our country. Nationalism.

[Steve Bannon]

Dave, Brett, where do people go? Social media.

[Dave Brat]

Yeah, I put a couple clips up on both the what we're going to get at. So just go to Brat Economics. On Getter and X you got two contrasting worldviews.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you brother. Appreciate you. Thank you for co hosting this morning. Brian Kennedy. We got about a minute. Your closing thoughts, sir, and thank you for sticking around.

[Brian T. Kennedy]

Thank you. Steve. The the Communist Chinese are masters at corrupting the global elites. Whether it's Mark Carney in Canada and the other Canadians and compromising them in profound ways and getting that strategic partnership through or whether it's in this country and our financial and business elites here, we have to be mindful of that always. And the president and his team have to be mindful of that. We've not yet built completely in this country an America first mindset that understands that the Chinese are this kind of a threat. And until we do, we're going to be up against it. Joe Allen's point about the, about the chip manufacturers and the exportation of these AI chips is evidence of that. We're either going to understand we're in a war with communist China and the global elite or we're not. We need to get that straight right now. And President Trump has done a brilliant job at putting America first. He now needs to have an entire administration that sees things the same way. Thank you, Steve. It was great to be on with you this morning.

[Steve Bannon]

Social media, Brian, where they go to keep up with you, your coordinates.

[Brian T. Kennedy]

The website is presentdangerchina.org on X. I'm Brian T. Kennedy, one and getter. It's Brian T. Kennedy. Thank you, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, bro. Thanks for sticking around. Trevor Comstock, you got a hit. New product, once again on fire. What do you got for us, sir?

[Trevor Comstock]

Yeah, great to see you, Steve. So real quick, I just want to give a heads up in regards to the new product. It's been selling extremely fast, so there is a chance that we have to list as out of stock soon. But we're working our hardest to make sure that we keep it in stock. So hopefully that's not the case. But we've also just had a ton of questions around it, so I wanted to highlight it a little bit. But it is handmade in small batches with organic ingredients. And just like all of our other products, there's no unnatural additives within it or any unnatural ingredients. So people love to use it for things like sore muscles, joint pain, sports sprain, swelling, as well as arthritis support. So you essentially just take a little bit, you rub it onto your body of any area that needs relief. And then we also pair the comfrey with other nourishing herbs that help soothe things like scrapes. If you have burns or cuts or even insect bites, it helps heal those up pretty fast. So just as an example, in terms of what I did, I woke up with a sore neck the other day. I, I rubbed some healing salve on my neck and within a day it felt a lot better. So I can't say enough about it. It's an extremely versatile and powerful product. And again, if you have joint stiffness or bruising that you want to bring down or just general itching or cuts, it works great in those scenarios. So if you have any other further questions, you can always ping us. And there's no reviews yet, obviously, just because we just launched it. But again, it's been selling very fast and hopefully we don't have the list as out of stock. But if it does, we'll be back.

[Steve Bannon]

Where do people. Where do people. Where do people go to get you right now? Where they go?
