Main Themes & Key Segments

1. U.S.–China Relations & The Trump Doctrine

(02:01–13:46)

Key Discussion Points

• Unreported Successes from Trump’s Diplomacy:
  • Bannon and Navarro emphasize how Trump supposedly gained strategic advantages largely ignored by mainstream media:
    • Removal of Chinese and Russian influence from Venezuela and Cuba.
    • Maintaining naval dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, a global oil chokepoint.
    • Securing a promise (albeit dubious) from Xi Jinping not to arm Iran with key missiles and drone components.

“We extracted a promise from Xi Jinping not to give any more weapons to Iran. Every ballistic missile that Iran fires... is fuel by Chinese rocket fuel. Every drone... is run by Chinese electronic components.”
—Dr. Peter Navarro [04:10]

• Skepticism Toward China’s Promises:
  • Both Bannon and Navarro repeatedly stress the need for “trust, but verify.” Navarro warns about supply routes through China’s Belt and Road Initiative and historic Chinese manipulation via empty promises.

“They make extravagant promises. They never keep their promises. Was Donald Trump turning the tables on them a little bit? You decide.”
—Steve Bannon [05:06]

“Look, trust. No, don’t even trust, just verify... The Belt and Road Initiative... can be rapidly converted for military use.”
—Dr. Peter Navarro [07:31]

• The Beef Deal & Tariffs:
  • Navarro clarifies that China’s much discussed “beef deal” involves U.S. offal (products not commonly eaten in the U.S.) and debunks fears about U.S. beef supply impacts.
  • Tariffs on China remain, with only Supreme Court mandates leading to reductions—not Trump policy changes.

“China’s not buying steak and burgers. They’re buying offal... That’s a good deal for the US.”
—Dr. Peter Navarro [05:49]

Notable Quotes & Moments

• The Rose Garden Agreement discussed as a symbol of repeated Western naiveté toward Chinese promises (South China Sea militarization, intellectual property theft).

“We taught them to come over, kiss our *** and make us feel good and make promises... they laughed all the way to the bank.”
—Dr. Peter Navarro [11:18]

Bannon’s Summary & Outlook

• Trump is publicly affable to Xi for diplomatic show, but fundamentally distrusts Chinese intentions, a view echoed and detailed by Navarro.

---

2. Georgia Election Transparency

(15:37–18:26)

Key Discussion Points

• Legal Action for Election Observation:
  • Sally Grubbs, a Georgia election board member, describes a court order mandating that board members be granted access to the secure aggregation center (“the bunker”) where statewide votes are counted.
  • Transparency and observer access were previously denied or unclear.

“An order… will mean that the election board members will be granted entrance into the quote unquote bunker... for the statewide aggregation of votes.”
—Sally Grubbs [16:10]

• Uncertainty about the Process:
  • Grubbs explains that admission to the aggregation center is new for her and other board members, reflecting systemic opacity.

Notable Quotes

“We really don’t know because it’s been kept from us exactly all the activities that go on there.”
—Sally Grubbs [16:59]

---

3. Medicare Reform & Consumer Advocacy

(18:26–23:42)

Key Discussion Points

• Introducing Chapter’s Approach to Medicare:
  • Colby, CEO and founder, highlights the misaligned incentives in the Medicare industry, which has motivated Chapter’s mission to offer consumer-first, fiduciary-like guidance.
  • Free consultations without financial motivators are marketed as a public service to counter industry complexity and abuses.

“$100 billion a year go back to insurance carriers when they should be going to consumers... Our job at Chapter is to make sure people get the right Medicare guidance.”
—Colby [20:14]

• Medicare Navigation Services:
  • Explanation of Chapter’s process: from enrollment to ongoing support with finding prescriptions, specialists, and appeals — “the insurance system is such a labyrinth.”

---

4. Capital Markets, Gold, and Inflation Outlook

(23:43–29:32)

Key Discussion Points

• Federal Reserve Leadership & Interest Rates:
  • Bannon opines on potential Fed chair candidates, the likelihood of interest rate hikes/pauses, and the role of instability in the capital markets driven by geopolitical events.

“There’d be more pressure on a rate increase. But I don’t think that’s going to happen… not a lot changed.”
—Steve Bannon [24:23, 26:57]

• Precious Metals Promotion:
  • Advocating for gold investments via Birch Gold, especially amidst volatile global tensions.

---

5. Religion & Human Rights in China

(27:20–29:32)

Key Discussion Points

• Persecution of Christians in China:
  • Bannon previews an upcoming segment with Sam Brownback addressing the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Christians and the subversive Vatican-China deal on bishop selection.
  • He asserts the vibrancy of underground churches in China despite state repression and institutional betrayal.

“The Catholic Church did something shameful and cut a secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party. They actually let... the CCP select the bishops.”
—Steve Bannon [27:50]

---

6. Target’s $110 Million Exit from Minneapolis & Social Change

(32:43–37:54)

Key Discussion Points

• Target Leaving Downtown Minneapolis:
  • Mike Lindell reports that Target is buying out its lease and leaving downtown Minneapolis, characterizing this as a reaction to social and crime issues attributed to “woke” policies.

“They’d rather move out of Minneapolis than be downtown Minneapolis with all the woke.”
—Mike Lindell [32:59]

• Critique of Corporate Social Moves & Minnesota Leadership:
  • Lindell and Bannon allege Target’s values alienated MAGA customers and connect the city’s troubles to broader “evil” leadership in Minnesota.
  • Accusations include allowing a satanic statue in the Capitol and general moral decay, with Lindell referencing his gubernatorial ambitions.

“This isn’t just… Democrat leadership. This is basically pure evil... Tim Waltz let a satanic statue be put into our Capitol...”
—Mike Lindell [35:02]

Notable Quotes

“The best place in the country… It’s all changed with this horrible, evil leadership in Minnesota.”
—Mike Lindell [34:59]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Trump’s handling of China:

“President Trump… when he designated you and Lighthizer to take two years of your life and negotiate… and they tore it up in our face after two years and a deal was ready to be signed in May of 2019… That tells you all you need to know with these guys.”
—Steve Bannon [12:39]

• Navarro on trusting China:

“Don’t even trust, just verify.”
—Dr. Peter Navarro [07:31]

Tone & Style Snapshot

Bannon’s style is assertive and insistent on narrative control, Navarro’s responses are analytical but combative toward the political establishment and media, and Lindell’s contributions blend business with faith-based activism.

[Steve Bannon]

IHeartRadio deliverance on its commitments to the

[Stephen K. Bannon]

US Peter Navarro, senior trade and manufacturing

[Steve Bannon]

advisor to President Trump.

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

And Peter, you contend, and maybe not

[Steve Bannon]

surprisingly, but you contend that the big picture for what the President accomplished didn't make its way over the transom or into the mainstream media dialogue.

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

What do you mean? In what way?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Joe? First of all, great discussion you and I think that's, that's pretty clear. Look, we went over there basically for one reason, to maintain what really is a very favorable strategic position. Now let me run through some of the checklists. I mean, think about this. We have effectively thrown both the Chinese and the Russians under the Don Row doctrine out of Venezuela, which is a big deal and out of Cuba, which is a big deal. And the American Navy essentially can controls the Strait of Hormuz where oil flows not just to China but to Asia. So start with that. We extracted a promise from Xi Jinping not to give any more weapons to Iran. Now I think your viewers know because they're a sophisticated audience, but let me just run through the check for us. Every ballistic missile that Iran fires on Israel, on the uae, on Saudi, wherever in the Middle east is fuel by Chinese rocket fuel. Every drone that launches attacks on American bases or on Israel or wherever in the Middle east is run by Chinese electronic components. And if you know your history, Joe, the way we got the Soviets out of Afghanistan was to sneak these Stinger missiles into the Mu Kajideen and basically those are shoulder to air missile launchers to knock telescopes, helicopters out of the sky and sent the Soviets out and actually brought down the Soviet Union. The Chinese understand that history, Joe, and we do not want them supplying manpads. That's the version of the Stinger there. And they promise not to do so. Of course, I'm watching the land routes very carefully because I don't believe that they will keep that promise necessarily, but we got that as well. Tariffs. We maintain the tariffs. The only way the tariffs have been cut on China, Joe, is by the Supreme Court, not my Donald John Trump. So we feel pretty good about where we stand. I think the President was generally mocked by the wolf warriors over in China, laughed at as obsequious, this, that and the other thing. But hey, the President is a student of history. And what have we learned? What is the President? What do you think President Donald John Trump has learned over 50 years of diplomacy with China? It's like, what did they do to us, Nixon, Clinton, on down? Flattery. They use flattery. They make extravagant promises. They never keep their promises. Was Donald Trump turning the tables on them a little bit? You decide. But I think that that story hasn't been told. There's one thing I want to clear up, Joe. When's the last time you had an offal burger? Okay, I mention this because the beef deal has angered some people here in the U.S. oh, we're going to buy a lot of beef. We're not buying. China's not buying a lot of beef. They're not buying steak and burgers. They're buying offal. We don't eat offal. And that's a good deal for the US and as far as the Boeing deal goes, it's like, what's the subtext of that? Well, we want to keep getting rare earths, and you can't really fly Boeing planes without stuff like Samaria. So if China wants those Boeings, they want them more than we want to sell to them. There's an implicit deal there. So a lot of things really weren't reported in the press. I'm not surprised by any of that. But I appreciate the time, Joe, to give your viewers a little bit more thought about what actually was going on over there behind the curtain.

[Steve Bannon]

Dr. Peter Navarro joins us. Dr. Navarro, you have a reputation of being a China Hawk. Are you just trying to put the best, the best face on a, on what at least looks like. I mean, your explanation of the beef is the first time I've heard that. That is, that is amazing. I think it's terrific because a lot of people are concerned about this. But is this wishful thinking or is this factual thinking? Dr. Peter Navarro

[Dr. Peter Navarro]

Steve, run through the checklist again. We didn't give them anything on the tariffs. The only terrorists we've had to back off on was because of SCOTUS on the fentanyl. Right. We did kick them out of Venezuela and Cuba. And as I recall, Steve, my history book said last time we tried to kick the Russians out of Cuba almost went to nuclear war. Nothing like that happened. We do have a commanding strategic edge now with our navy in, in and around the Strait of Four Moose. They haven't really. The question is there. And look, this weapons thing is a big deal, Steve. I mean, if the Chinese Xi Jinping knows the story of the US Sending Stingers to the Soviet Union and driving them out just as well as anybody. Right? And the last thing we need is the Chinese restocking the rocket fuel, restocking all the electric components and engines for the drones. You know how that stuff works, Steve. It's like you get like a, you send that stuff over on planes. Drone components can go on planes. The chemicals have to go by ships. But if you get the drone components going on one cargo plane, landing on what's supposed to be a passenger plane and it unloads, that's like another thousand thousand drones that they're going to throw at us. They said, no, we're not going to do that. So look, trust. No, don't even trust, just verify. I mean, look, we're watching those land routes and come in through Pakistan using the Belt and Road Initiative. That's another thing. I didn't have time to say this on the tube, Steve, but the bad Belt and Road Initiative is not just a wave of economic encirclement and debt trap financing. Those pieces of infrastructure can be rapidly converted to military use. And if they want to send whatever man pads, drone components over to Iran, they can do that now using some of their belt and road infrastructure through Pakistan, through Turkmenistan. And I just like people didn't get that story. They got some of that story on the war room, but, but they didn't get in anywhere else because the whole idea was to mock Taco Trump, right? That was kind of like that's what it went. And I think if you just listen to that clip, that's a pretty good trip for this country.

[Steve Bannon]

Do you think there was discussion about Iran? Do you believe you have the Arab nations, which I think is great because to me they got to have a bigger stake in this. And we now know, and I'm saying it's because of our calling them out, but we now know that they were actually engaged in military kinetic activity. Do you believe, because they didn't really put it into, into their public release. Do you think the Chinese are still as much of an ally of the Iranians as they were before? Or is it more they're open to accommodation with President Trump in the west to try to get a solution here?

[Dr. Peter Navarro]

Steve, I don't know what the answer to that question is, but knowing the Chinese, I don't trust him. You don't trust him. One of the things you play some more of that clip at the five o' clock show. We'll come back. Joe, more important, more importantly, President Trump,

[Steve Bannon]

President Trump doesn't trust him. That's more importantly, right?

[Dr. Peter Navarro]

It's the point. I mean I went through the whole history, it starts in 1980, in the 1990s, you know, we had this is to me the classic right, China starts stealing all our intellectual property. And the USTR at the time basically said we're going to put a billion dollars of tariffs on you if you don't stop doing that. And a billion dollars of tariffs at the time, that was a big deal. In the 90s, you know, they did their usual flattery crap. They did their usual, we promised not to do any of that anymore. And look, come on, you know what happened, Steve, they went on, they've gone on a like, I don't know, 20 year rampage stealing our intellectual property. And it's in the trillions now. They take everything from us. And you know the sad part there, Steve? The sad part is we never put the billion dollars of tariffs on them. And they learn that we've, we taught and I'M not talking about Donald Trump, but we as a country taught them to come over and kiss our ass and make us feel good and make promises. And they knew going on their way out of our airspace that they laughed all the way to the bank because we would never follow through. We were like, we got a short attention span. And so it's like that I talked on the, on the clip about the Rose Garden, which I'm looking at pretty much now as I'm looking out my window, Obama's there and it's like, oh, oh, we're not going to, we're not going to do, do militarization of the South China Sea. Don't worry about that anymore. And we got 10,000 foot runways on 11,000ft man made islands. They're interrupting the sea lines of communication, making life miserable for Vietnam and the Philippines and the US Navy, which you,

[Steve Bannon]

I know, yeah, I know, I know. I was in patrol there many years. I want to, I know you got to bounce. I just want to say that President Trump, when he designated you and Lighthizer to take two years of your life and negotiate a deal that would take away the seven original sins of the Chinese Communist Party, state owned industry, autocratic mercantilist economy, and they tore it up in our face after two years and a deal was ready to be signed in May of 2019 that tells you all you need to know with these guys. Dr. Navarro, we got 30 seconds. Where do they go to get your content?

[Dr. Peter Navarro]

Peter navarro.com Peter navarro.com that is the gateway to the substack X getter True social Instagram. I particularly recommend the 60 second videos and the op eds. You know, I appreciate the Washington Times and others who are put this stuff up. I'm just trying to get, get the message out. Steven I appreciate getting on the war room because you are the best out there. As I look at the media.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you sir. Great job on Squawk today. It was amazing. Pure. Dr. Peter Navarro, short commercial break. Back in the warm in a moment.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, the judge has ruled a TRO in the Georgia case. As we were covering the president at the ballroom, Sally Grubbs joins us, a member of the five man Georgia election board and a in a grassroots leader. Ma', Am, what did the judge, what did he rule or about to formally stamp a ruling and what does it mean?

[Sally Grubbs]

So, Steve. Yes, assuming that everything goes as I've been told, an order was presented to the judge pursuant to the petition for writ of mandamus and petition for injunctive relief. And assuming that is being signed and stamped by the clerk, it will mean that the election board members will be granted entrance into the quote unquote bunker for the statewide aggregation of votes for the state of Georgia for all 15059 counties.

[Steve Bannon]

So it took going to court, but it looks like right now as we have it, with no changes, then you will be allowed inside the bunker somewhere in metro Atlanta today to observe this and make sure that all processes are going to according to plan or at least to make observations if they're not, correct?

[Sally Grubbs]

Correct, Steve.

[Dr. Peter Navarro]

Okay.

[Steve Bannon]

And what time will that, what time? Let's say it's signed in the next hour. What time will you be able to go and enter into the bunker?

[Sally Grubbs]

So it's my presumption, I mean there's activities going on all day there. You know, there are, you know, gma, the Georgia Emergency Management Folks that'll be there, Georgia power folks, in case of power outages. It's my understanding that vendors who supply to the election process, such as knowing for the pole pads, maybe Dominion Tax, you know, really don't know because it's been kept from us exactly all the activities that go on there. It's my understanding that there are liaisons from the Secretary of State's office to the counties who were there, probably the secretary of state attorneys who are there. We really don't know because I've not been there. And as you said yesterday, Steve, you know, you said, I assume you've been there and toured the facility and things like that. The answer is no, we've not been. Now some members have been given entrance previously, but we have not. So I really don't have a frame of reference until I get there and see what's going on.

[Steve Bannon]

Can we follow you today on, on social media? Where do we go? Where do we go to follow you, Sally?

[Sally Grubbs]

Yeah, if you follow me on X at first, VC Gagop, you can find

[Steve Bannon]

me on X. Sally Grubbs, member of the Georgia Election Board. Ma', am, thank you. And hopefully we can track you down and maybe get you on the five or six o' clock show. This is monumental. And and Godspeed on going to the bunker today.

[Sally Grubbs]

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate it.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, ma'. Am. Okay, the calvary kind of arrived, Sally. And members of the five man Georgia Election Board will be in the aggregation center and they'll be laying their hands on this. We'll report to that. Also, obviously my phone has been blowing up, folks, as I know your phones have blockbuster announcement at 12:30 during the Charlie Kirk Show. President United States is going to announce his endorsement in the Texas race. Yesterday Cornyn said, I think that ship has sailed. We'll have to see everybody on pins and knees on this. And we're going to cover, of course on Real America's Voice during the Charlie Kirk show live. It's supposed to be at 12:30pm Colby, you're the founder CEO of Chapter. You are providing, I think a public service, the public. And here's what I don't understand. Explain to the audience why has this not happened before? Because I know people were sending over at 845-war- Room. You call, you get a totally free consultation. It's free and there's no obligation, okay? So please take advantage of this. Colby and the team are setting this up with our own hotline so we can call. And the feedback I've gotten is great. Well, a lot of People are sitting there going, why did no one think of this before? I think people are confused, like why are these data guys kind of come out of nowhere, learn the system and then are providing assistance on a system that is so mind numbingly complex then no one can figure it out. Even you mentioned the other day the economist at Stanford who's one of the experts in the field, can't do it himself. So why, why, why did this never take place before?

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

Sir, thanks for having me. Steve. There's so many really misaligned incentives in the Medicare industry that prevent Medicare advisors and Medicare experts from doing what's right for, for the consumer. And because of these incentives and because there's a lot of money in the system, $100 billion a year go back to the insurance carriers when they should be going to consumers, that there's really no incentive for people who come from the healthcare health insurance world to take a fresh perspective. So after seeing my parents go through the Medicare process and just have a terrible experience, I took my data and my technology background to try to fix it. And because I wasn't aware of the incentives when I started, it was easier for me to have this outsider fresh perspective. But there's just so much money in the system that goes really towards screwing over Americans. And our job at chapter is to make sure that people get the right Medicare guidance for their needs, irrespective of economics and irrespective of financials. Really creating this fiduciary like obligation to the consumer that didn't exist before.

[Steve Bannon]

So if they want to talk to a fiduciary, one of your consultants and advisors, walk me through the process. What are people supposed to do? They call 845 War Room. Okay, they'll do that. Do they have to have their current Medicare plan? Is it best to come with the information they've got and then walk me through the process of engaging with your team?

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

That's right. They call 845 War Room. They'll get connected with one of our licensed Medicare experts. They can already be on Medicare. They can just be thinking about Medicare. They can be approaching retirement at 65. We're flexible in how we work with people. We can either help you sign up for the right coverage for the first time if you're just signing up for Medicare, or if you want to optimize your coverage so get better health coverage, or lower your prices of not just your Medicare but also your prescriptions. We generally save people thousands of dollars a year through this process. And it's a free Consult. As we said, it can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on how many questions you have. And really, our goal is just to make sure people have peace of mind. So even if we can't optimize your coverage, even if you already are on the right plan, it can be a short call and you can at least have peace of mind that you are already on the right plan and have the right health coverage for your needs. But importantly, it's not just the enrollment. When we help people, we help people throughout their Medicare journey. So once they're on a plan, if they need to find a prescription at lower cost, if they need to appeal a bill, if they need to find a specialist who's in network, we help them with all of that for free. We have a full time, what we call our member advocate team who is here to make sure people have these complex cases satisfied. Because the insurance system is such a labyrinth. And it does take experts to know how to optimize and how to work through the system. So when people call, it's 845 war room. They'll get connected to a real person who will help them.

[Steve Bannon]

Colby, you're professional. You've become an expert in data and data science. All that. How long you talk about labyrinth? How long did it take you to learn the Medicare system? You were confident enough that we could launch a company and actually have an impact.

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

There's always more to learn. But it really took us about a year to really understand the ins and outs of how the system works, what decisions we should make, how all the data flows. It's really complex. So for people navigating it themselves, it's probably not the best use of time to spend a year of your life learning this stuff, for one off. And that's why we're here.

[Steve Bannon]

845 War Room Call today. You will not be disappointed. It's a free consultation. Take advantage of it. Colby, thank you so much. Thank you for setting up the company and doing this. The feedback we've gotten from folks, pretty extraordinary. So we thank you.

[Colby (Founder/CEO of Chapter)]

Thanks for having me.

[Steve Bannon]

Steve, take advantage of this today. No obligation, totally free. It's also with the Birch Gold. Birch Gold is now look, interest rates popping. I don't think we got Kevin Warsh, who's I think a great choice for the chairman of the Federal Reserve. He's the guy I really backed. I backed the first time. It came down to John Taylor, Kevin Warsh and Powell, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Tom Mnuchin, basically made this huge pitch for Powell and he was chosen I don't think I think it's just given where rates are going on the 10 year and the in the 30 year I just don't see any possibility of doing a rate cut in June. I don't think they'll do one for the rest of the year. Look, I'm not a guy that forecast rate cuts. I'm just looking at the math. In fact you know if they teach you kind of macroeconomics the logical thing I think there'd be more pressure and Bolling I think said this in Cortez said that I think there actually be more pressure on a rate increase. But I don't think that's going to happen at least not right now. Long way of saying go to Bannon B A N N o N at 989-898 you get all the information for investing in gold and precious metals and if you're a have already been a customer of of Birch Gold make sure that you talk to Philip Pantry. There's so much more to know. There's so much more to learn. They're always given updates particularly in a very volatile capital market in a very unstable capital market. Capital markets. Why because of this geopolitical situation in the in the Persian Gulf. You heard the president I states came from his you know he said the day that was so that's where we stayed for the whole hour on the on the ballroom because the questions he said hey I kind of made a decision that we were going and it sounded like he was going large today for more kinetic activity that will make things even more unstable at least for a while. If you have not purchased gold if you're a first time customer of Birch Gold Bannon B A N N O N@989898 they're going to talk to you about the IRA possibilities rolling over IRA tax deferral 401ks all of it. If you qualify and this is a qualifying purchase that they can tell you how you qualify you get a potential rebate of up to $10,000. So talk to Philip Patrick and the in the team there. Pretty extraordinary. Peter Navarre just came on today from 5 to 7 if we have time I'm going to try to play the entire cut. Peter went on Squawk box today with Joe I think it was Joe Kernan and and really laid out in like 8 or 10 minutes which is pretty extraordinary for morning Squawk Box his assessment of the China situation and the and the summit etc. President Trump as you Know, even with all the, the nice things he said about Xi, he understands that they're not trustworthy. And, and Peter made a very compelling case that this doesn't really affect the tariffs. He made a, I think a very big disclosure which I think has been lost in all the media coverage about the beef. It's really that part of beef, I think it's called offal that is really not sold to US Markets. It's really consumed in China. And so that's really what the purchases are about and the deal there's about. So people are thinking, hey, beef prices are going up here. Why we send the Chinese Communist Party. I think Peter made a pretty compelling case about why that's actually not the fact. I can tell you. I realize we have a lot to work on with Taiwan. We're going to have some experts on this afternoon in the evening show. And tomorrow morning, in fact, Sam Brownback is going to join us also. He's making the, one of the moral cases about, about the Christian, the persecution of Christians by the Chinese Communist Party, which has been adamant. Remember, there's more. It's not just theoretically. They're actually, I think more Christians in, in China than there may be in the United States. There's at least 100 million or more, maybe 125 million Christians and Catholics in, in China. Most of those are in house churches. Most of them are underground. The Catholic Church did something shameful and cut a secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party. We've been on these guys for years to release that, the details of it. They actually let the Chinese Communist Party select the bishops, which they would never allow anywhere else in the world. It's completely unsatisfactory and I think is the underground Catholic church there is more robust and vibrant than it's ever been. But they have done huge damage to the institutional, I think, Catholic Church. And so there's a ton going on. Sam Brownberg's going to be with us tomorrow to make that case about the Christian persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. I think Peter was Peter saying in a nutshell, besides the nice things that President Trump had to say about Xi, because that's the way President Trump is going to say nice things about someone. If you're going over there for a big visit, not a lot changed. One thing I don't think changed, I think this was not a wake up call, but I think it was a reality check is that the Chinese Communist Party is in no way going to help us with the situation with the Persians. You know, they announced, hey, we're a 5,000 year civilization. You're coming up for your 250th birthday. I hope it works out for you over the long run. The Persians been doing this for 3,500 years. Two ancient civilizations that are not crazy about the Christian West. Short commercial break. We're gonna be back in the war room in just a moment. Spread the word all through Hong Kong. We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp.

And this is only going to last through Memorial Day, so get on it now. By the way, Patrick K. O' Donnell is going to join me for all of our Memorial Day specials. And we're going to have, we're going to be on Thursday. We're going to have a crew. We're going to be over there respectfully watching the veterans put up the flags. They put up, you know, 100,000, I think, flags over at Arlington and other places for our honored dead for Memorial Day. So we'll cover all that. Neil McKay will be covering it. Mike Lindell, massive breaking news. And this shows you, this is a reality check, people. This is a reality check. One of the most woke companies in the country and they're nasty and they're mean and they hate maga. They hate you who used to be some of their best customers particularly hate Lindell, the president, all of us. War room Tarjay, Target Blockbuster News moments ago, out of Minnesota, Minneapolis. What happened, sir? MIKE Lindell.

[Mike Lindell]

Yeah, they're leaving downtown. They just bought out their lease. I believe it's $110 million. They only had a few years left, but they would rather move out of Minneapolis than be downtown Minneapolis with all the woke.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on, hang on, hold on. Full stop, full stop. They created those people in the streets are their people. That's their homies. How can you, you can't tell me, you can't tell me after creating woke and being the most woke company out there and chasing away, they'd rather not have MAGA come in the stores that make a sell to them. They're that woke and that evil. They can't possibly be leaving downtown. Downtown Minnesota is where they're, that's where their peeps are. Why would they leave downtown Minneapolis, sir,

[Mike Lindell]

You know, you can't explain this, but it just, it goes to show you, you know, the, the, the stuff that's going on downtown Minneapolis is even, I don't know, too evil for them or too over the top for them. Remember, Target took, got out of Target a long time ago. Took the bell ringers out from the Salvation Army. This was years ago and they had to bring them back because everybody said what are you doing taking God out of Christmas. You're taking, you know, they took Christmas out of Christmas. At one point, Target was the worst. And by the way, Target was they, we, we got, we Distanced ourselves from Target way before all the other box stores canceled. Target tried to do something to my pillow that was inexcusable. And I said, I want nothing to do with you anymore. I actually pushed Target out back in the day. And then to see them now buying $110 million, everybody to say, hey, we don't want our lease anymore. Here's 110 million. We can get away from our customer base. I mean, you can't make this up. But maybe their base is changing, though. You know, we do. We do have the Somalians and the Sharia law going down. Going on and down.

[Steve Bannon]

No, no, no.

[Mike Lindell]

But. But look, look.

[Steve Bannon]

Minneapolis is in. Minnesota is one of the great states. Minneapolis, great. They're destroying that city. One of the common sense, the common. Minnesota is known like Wisconsin.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

These.

[Steve Bannon]

You know, these. These places up north for a lot of common sense and a lot of decency. What in the hell's happened, sir?

[Mike Lindell]

You know, I think it's like, you know, Steve, over the years, you know, I've lived there all my life, and it was just amazing place. The best place in the country, I believe, to grow up and limp. And it's all changed with this horrible, evil leadership in Minnesota. It's not. This isn't just, you know, Democrat leadership. This is basically pure evil. When you've got Keith Ellison, Tim Waltz, Fry of Minneapolis, these guys, to me, you look up evil, there they are. And then you got Ilan Omar, you got to realize, Tim Waltz let a satanic statue be put into our Capitol in St. Paul. And then they gave him a trophy for it, a plaque for it, saying the Satan is thanking him. And he was proud of that. He says we've got to be fair. Fair to the devil. You can't make this stuff up. I mean, we have. When I sit at the Rose Garden years ago, when I did that speech, I said a nation had turned its back on God. We had taken God out of our schools, and we need to pray for grace and get back in the word and back with our families. You could have just, well, been talking about Minnesota because I believe we were the tip of the. Where evil came in. Because back to the political correctness. Minnesota, nice. It just kind of sat back and watched this, watch them destroy our beautiful cities and our beautiful state. When I went down, you know, Minnesota had the first mall in the. In the world with Southdale Mall. I grew up at that mall. Before Christmas, I walked in there and the place was empty. And I'm going, what a shame what's happened. Here and we've got to save Minnesota. And one of the number one things I'm running for governor is because we have. This is it. We have these midterms, the most important midterms in history across our nation.

[Steve Bannon]

You've got to go right now. The big box has kicked you out. But it's to the benefit of the war. And posse, talk to us about a deal.
