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

WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
- [02:59]
Ben Bergquam
Saturday the 31st of January, year of our Lord 2026. We're going to get back to Georgia in a moment. Let's go to Texas. LEE wams, Again, horrible weather has kind of made early voting tough. It's game day in Texas on these state senate seats, ma'. Am. Texas 9, where do, where do folks go to vote? All, all it counts today is the 26,000 registered Republicans get out and vote today. Where they go?
- [03:24]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
That's right. They there are so many polling places. You can go to tarrant county.com elections to find those polling places. You can also go to Leafortex do and click the voting info to find those polling locations. Polls are open today 7 to 7. And that's right, we had polls shut down because of multiple sheets of ice across North Texas. And we have over 26,000 Republicans that did not get out to vote yet. These are Republicans that always do vote. And a lot of that was mobility. You know, even when the highways were clear, a lot of neighborhoods were still solid sheets of ice. So we cannot let the weather or the Democrats take this seat. This will be the first step to turn Texas blue. Beto o' Rourke has said this is his pilot program for turning Texas blue in November. And Texans, I got to tell you, it's not going to get any easier. We have to fight and we have to keep fighting harder to keep the sanity and freedom in our state. And that is keeping it red.
- [04:26]
Ben Bergquam
This has been, you've been they've poured millions of dollars of dark money out of state money into this race because they understand how important Texas is as the jewel in the crown. This is a real dog fight right now. I mean, we need every person in the Warren Posse and particularly all the fans of War Room Texas up in Tarrant county have got to let's not turn themselves out, but they got to turn out everybody that's eligible to vote. Am I correct? Because the Democrats have a tendency to turn out eligible to vote and all others. Right? They play Hardball. So this a dog fight right now, Lee?
- [04:59]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
It is a dog fight. And we've had several situations where our registered voters have been told they're not in the district, turned away. And we only caught it because we were doing our get out the vote for people who hadn't voted yet. And they said, well, I was told I wasn't in the district. And so they came to me, I pulled it up and I said, you are registered in the district. Long story short, we've won one person at a time, gotten them proven that they are registered to vote. So we're chasing that down. We are. We have people at the polls in the cold. We have people in their homes calling hundreds of people. We had a get out the vote effort last night where citizens came together and we called personally, called over 6,000 voters. So we are working very hard. It is a dogfight, as you said. A lot of dark money's thrown against us. The Democrats always like to say, oh, you know, I don't have any money, and here are the elitist millionaires. Well, let me tell you, that's just nothing could be further from the truth. We have traced and public information. You go to Texas Ethics Commission, Federal Elections Commission, you can see that George Soros has given over $7 million to this Texas majority PAC who works with the Texas Democrat Party. And they funded over two thirds of my candidates funding. The other part is from the Beto organization, powered by People. That's the organization that AG Paxton sued for allegedly misappropriating funds when they were trying to pay off the Democrats for abandoning their post during the redistricting effort in our state House. So there are a lot of things against us. And when they call this their pilot program in Texas, nobody votes in January. Our big challenge is to get Republicans to know there is an election today in January. Yesterday, in the midst of everything President Trump had going, he tweeted about this race and the importance of Republicans getting out to vote. And that tells you that across the nation, Democrats and Republicans alike know how important today's race is to keeping Texas red.
- [07:02]
Ben Bergquam
No, this is everything right now, and particularly you. You're a firebrand. You're the only Trump endorser. I think of all the state senators running, you're a Trump endorsee. He understands and knows well your record and the team over at Patriot Mobile that you are a fighter in full maga. That's why they've targeted you, ma'.

They cannot allow Lee Wamsgan in the Tex Senate one more time. Where do people go today, today? And there's going to be voting up till, I think, seven o' clock local time?
- [07:29]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
Yes. If you are in line at 7 o', clock, you still get to vote. So get to the polls early. My son just came in from college and went and vote, voted here locally. And you can see all of those blue dots. Those are polling locations. If you go to leefortexas.com and click voting Info, you can increase that map and find your house and see the polling location nearest you. It's just critical. You know, there are 23 cities in this district, 13 school districts. It's a massive district. Texas is a massive state. 31 million people. We have 31 senators. And taking a Texas Senate seat is a high priority for the Democrats. And that's why they're pouring money into it and that's why we're fighting so hard.

Tarrant County, I think, is bigger than 12 of the states of the union. I mean, Tarrant county is the, the railhead of maga. So vitally important. Lee, good luck. We'll keep up with you during the day on social media. So thank you, ma'.

Vitally important when. When the grassroots get together. Harrison was on yesterday. Texas A and M has totally gotten rid of its DEI program. Remember that? You guys got up on the ramparts. That thing is gone now. And that's not small. Right. That's going to lead to other. Those dominoes are going to fall this on. It's not dei. I think it's transgender. Let me be specific. It's the transgender ideology part of that. We're going for all the dei. And Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is now basically said in the Texas Senate. They are going to have hearings on Sharia law, other aspects of this Islamic invasion, of course, other things. But they're going to call early hearings to tee up a special session of the Texas legislature to deal with this. And the whole reason we started War Room Texas. So more on that later. But I will tell you, the political establishment in Texas responds to grassroots pressure. All we need to do is awaken the grassroots army there and unite and the huge things can happen in Texas. And as Tarrant county goes, so goes Texas. As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world. So make sure that we're just. We're very focused on where we can win and how we can win and how we do this. Want to go back to Georgia? So, David, it's three things. The FBI stepped in and there's two things happening. You have the Director of National Intelligence that is looking. And people should understand that. I think that that means there might have been some national security or some intelligence efforts here. Tulsi Gabbard is obviously very smart. She's talked about this in the past. But President Trump has said she's kind of designated to looking at the whole thing. The FBI is looking at crimes. They're not there just to talk about the 2020 election. They're talking about crimes around the 2020 election. And so Fannie Willis and the whole crowd in Fulton county and. And the gentleman was just up. You guys gotta. You ought to be very focused. They're looking for crime. So you have the 2020 election about what actually happened and what really was the outcome. You also have the accountability part of it. And I gotta tell you, I think the accountability part is gonna roll through. I think it's going to go through a sift through grass at certain senior Republicans. You were very gentlemanly in saying that may not look too good on Kemp. I think Kemp's got to be concerned. I think the lieutenant government, I think Raffensperger, that entire crowd that work for Raffensperger, you have to be held accountable. We're just not going to go after radical Democrats. The third aspect, though, is 26 and 28. David, in looking forward to that, beings that you were the head of the Republican Party, how do you think what should be done about 26 and 28 to make sure we can't have these. We can never have this happen again in the midterms and particularly the presidential elections coming up, because essentially you look at a handful of states and a handful of counties in those states. They stole the 2020 presidential election. We've got this massive problem with debt, with deficits. We have 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders just on Biden's watch. The entire country's been transformed. And everything we're trying to do is sort that out and not even build for the future because it got so many massive problems that all the railhead of it is the stealing of the 2020 election. So as you look at this, do you think that we're getting the personnel in and particularly do they have the resolve in the spine? It's not just getting Republican in some billet. Right. We know it's about having a steely spine, having resolve and being able to face down these radicals.
- [12:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir, you're absolutely right. I think. I don't know all the reasons that Tulsi Gabbard was in Atlanta, but Election infrastructure has been identified as critical infrastructure that falls under her purview as the Director of National Intelligence. So it would make sense that she would be concerned if that infrastructure had been compromised. The FBI cannot execute a search warrant unless a federal judge has found probable cause that a crime was committed. You know, which is what happened when this search warrant was. Was executed. And there have been some improvements in Georgia's laws since 20. In. In. Since 2020 to improve, to address some of the issues that I've raised. But. But the system remains broken, and we have got to continue to take steps to secure it.
- [12:57]
Ben Bergquam
The Fani Willis apparatus that tried to put you and other people and the president, particularly, in prison and anybody that was associated with this really getting to a fair count. And actually what happened, they tried to put all these folks in Georgia in prison, right? Bankrupt them first with the legal and then put them in for the rest of your lives to die in prison. I want. People have to understand, I went to prison for four months. Okay? That's nothing. They wanted to put these. They want to put Trump in prison for 30 or 40 years. They want to have him die in prison. And don't think. They don't want to do that today. Just watch them. Just listen to them. They're talking about, oh, we got to have Nuremberg trials. We have to have Moscow show trials. Look at you look at the streets of Minneapolis today. You look at what happened in Los Angeles last night. That's French Revolution stuff. That's the Bolsheviks in 1917 and 1918. It's the same thing. It's exactly the same. It's the Red Room. It's atheistic, demonic. Now. It's got a jihadist part to it. If you think that's gone away, you are dead wrong. You are dead. And we're not doing our job then exposing that because it hasn't gone away. And it's getting more vicious because they understand we're breaking their business model by saying, hey, all these illegal alien invaders and all the scams and some minds, it's all got to stop. They all got to be held accountable. They got to get out of here. It's going to get 10 times tougher. You ain't seen nothing yet. So, David, in that regard, how do we make sure that we hold the. Because Fani Wilson's people, we got to turn the light on them because they tried to put the innocent and the people that were the good citizens and the people were sitting there going, hey, we can't let this happen, because it's A presidential election. They try to put all you guys in prison and the president to die in prison. How do we start holding them accountable, sir?
- [14:42]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, I was surprised when she said she was going to investigate the problems in 2020. And then I quickly realized that what she was really investigating were the people who were pointing out the problems. She gave us a deadline, it was a public deadline in June, I think it was in June of, By June of 2024, we had to either negotiate a plea and publicly apologize or she would seek the maximum sentence on the charges that she brought us against us, which I think for me was 40 years in prison. And so the choice that I had to face was either publicly apologize for things that I did not do wrong or face a nine month trial and spend $2 million. And the best outcome from that would be that I would be bankrupted. And the worst outcome is that I'd be in prison for the rest of my life. It really was a, it was a spiritual battle. Spiritual battle.

We're going to break this all down. Well, no, David. No, David, we're going to break it all down. We're going to get you back on because I want to break down exactly what happened. You brought up something that triggered, I remember we did the broadcast that night with Richard Barris, I think was that night or the next day. We, I remember playing that Raffens Burger Club where he said, because we, we had each state laid out and he says, hey, the, the, with the amount of votes outstanding, it's virtually impossible for President Trump to be overcome. And you're right, it just, you know, every day, every hour after that was a fiasco. David, what's your social media? Where do people go and, and become more familiar with you before you get you back up?

Sir, I hope you realize this, that you're a patriot and a hero in the great line of American patriots and heroes all the way back to the revolutionary generation. You stood in the breach and like you said, they gave you a choice. Either admit that you were guilty and all this is true, you tried to steal the election, apologize, or we're going to bankrupt you for millions of dollars to defend yourself. And we're going to put you in prison for 40 years. You will die in prison. Shaffer, you're a, you're a hero. Look forward to having you back next week. Short commercial.

Hey, I want to give a shout out to Paul Danz and the entire team. He's fighting like hell in this race against Lindsey Graham for the Senate. I mean it almost makes me my head blow up to know that Lindsey Graham's in this leading in this race. There's unconfirmed reports of several explosions. I shouldn't say unconfirmed. There's new sites in The Middle east putting out about four explosions in various, I guess, petrochemical facilities in different towns in Iran, Persia. We have not had verification of that. But as you know, Lady Lindsay has been pushing that one non stop. Also, Lady Lindsay is in back of this kind of whole debate for the next couple weeks with the Senate, a negotiation where they're prepared to give up all the key elements of ice, including the mask on the ice agents suing ICE agents, having to get federal warrants to take every person out of the country. The 15 million won't get that done in 150 years. If you have to do that. They're trying to slow down everything. And DeWine in Ohio gave away the game. We're talking about the Haitians with temporary protective status. And he said, oh, no, no, they're adding to the community. It was a chamber of Commerce pitch. Oh, well, they're adding, you know, they're renting apartments and working and they're very good workers. You know, their wages are undercut, American wages. But hey, you know, it helps the Chamber of Commerce. So how could we be bad? It's bad because it doesn't put American citizens first. They all have to go. They all have to go. All of them. 100% mass deportations. We will not accept anything less. You're not going to have a country. It's very simple. You're not going to have a country and you're not going to have a country for people called American citizens in 10 or 20 years. So you got to nip it in the bud now. It's the reason we're shifting the show down to Texas for the month of February. If we can get all the logistics work out, which we're doing right now to make sure that we drive this issue of the three March primary where sharia laws on the ballot that prohibit Sharia law, a proposition that would prohibit Sharia law in the great state of Texas, and much, much, much more. Sam Tanenhaus is here with the great biographer of Buckley. You know, Pat Buchanan kind of laid out where the country was headed when he gave this speech. I think it was at the Houston convention and other places back in the, let's say, the early 90s where he laid out where he thought if we continued down with the globalists, that the country was going at the time. It was a little early. There were a lot of people that thought Pat Buchanan was a wingnut. There were those of us who said, wow, what is this guy saying? It was kind of the equivalent of Trump at the South Carolina Election, our primary debate where he called the Bushes out on stage for the, for the Iraq war. Boy, where to get those clips for the President this weekend? President, we ought to go back and play those clips this weekend when guys are all Lady Lindsay's in your ear saying, let's go bomb Persia. What was the. How did Buckley. Because Buckley was considered the father of this conservative movement. Even though he had Barry Goldwater, he had Ronald Reagan, selective officials, he was kind of the Mack Daddy, at least as a public intellectual. How did that play out?
- [22:34]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, well, he was also, Steve, their mentor. I remember when I was getting to know Bill Buckley around the time I was writing about Whitaker Chambers and then moved over to, to Bill Buckley and I said, so how did you get involved with Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan? And I never forget the way he said this because I had that patrician voice. He said, they came to me, they needed him. These are two really talented politicians from the Southwest, Goldwater, Arizona, Reagan, Southern California. And remember, Republican Party and all US Politics back then was situated in the East Coast. It was dominated by the press and media and party leaders on the East Coast. And here are these two guys coming out of what one of Buckley's disciples, Kevin Phillips, called the Sun Belt, invented that term. And here are these guys coming along and they know they have to present themselves as national figures. And so Buckley would talk to them. He never tried to tell them what to think or what to say. He trusted them. But he was able to introduce them around. When Reagan gave a talk at Yale after he was elected governor, Buckley led.
- [23:44]
Ben Bergquam
Him to the campus.
- [23:45]
Stephen K. Bannon
Buckley was famous at Yale. Reagan was a little nervous. He's not an Ivy League guy. All that stuff, Steve still held back then even more so. Universities with their private clubs and inner sanctums. And Buckley belonged to them all. But he was able to bring the conservatives in. He did the same thing with the movement. And it's interesting what you say about Pat Buchanan too, because I thought of you and I sent you that famous quote of Buchanan speech in Houston. You're right. It was a convention, 1992, and Pat, who's a friend of mine, had challenged George Bush, President George Bush, the first George Bush, for the nomination in 92 and had done very well in New Hampshire. And Buchanan was a great phrase maker. And he said, we'll fight him on the ice and then when the ice melts, we'll fight them in hell. You know, we're not going to give it up. And of course, he lost. But he was given important keynote Speech or not, keynote, but important late night speech midway through the convention in Houston. And this is where he made his really famous statement. Pat Buchanan did said, and I'm paraphrasing all the text in front of me. We're living in. We're going through a political and religious and cultural war. And what everybody picked up on was the culture war, because they thought he was talking about gay rights, abortion. And he was. But he was also talking about a worldview, what we would think of as a secular liberalism that has completely taken over the culture dominated. And he said, the guy the Democrats have put up, Bill Clinton, he's the face of that. And whatever you think of George Bush, he's not that. He comes out of an older style, older idea of what America is. And Buchanan saw this 92, right. Well over 30 years ago, 34 years ago. He sees that some big thing is up for grabs in the country. It's not about winning a war. Vietnam War is over. The Cold War is over. You know, we ended it. The Russians lost, we won. Cold War is over. But he sees these other rising forces now. He would be an early opponent of that first war in Iraq. And, you know, some people who wondered about the later pages in my book, some kind of Republican establishment types, were offended that he didn't say more about how Bill Buckley got involved on the side of the neocons when there were fights about Pat Buchanan. But the reason I didn't make more of that was Buckley supported Buchanan when he challenged George Bush. And George Bush is one of Buckley's friends. They belonged to all the same clubs at Yale and then out in the Bohemian Grove in California. But Buckley thought Buchanan was making a point. So I saw him. I was at his house. My wife and I were there. He invited us over to watch the Houston convention the next night. Buchanan had spoken the night before, and he made this speech that in our parlance, we'd say gone viral. Pat Buchanan said, this is a war about who we are as Americans. Nobody really talked that way back then. Everybody does today, left and right, identity, who are we? That's what Buchanan said this election would be about. And he really got hammered for that, including by people like David Gergen, remember him? And go on the PBS NewsHour and say, well, you know, I think Pap Buchanan is going a little far here. He's setting people against one another. He's polarizing. And I said to Bill Buckley, I kind of assume Buckley would agree. Friend of George Bush. I said, what do you think of Pat Buchanan speech He said he loved it. I said, why? He said, fire. He brought some fire to it. You know, he. He says these things, and he means them. Well. Then I'm going through the correspondence, you know, the letters that you do when you write these books. And I see that Buckley had an exchange with another one of his many proteges, brilliant writer Michael Lind, who's still out there, pretty close to J.D. vance, is my understanding, but out there in politics, writer and Mike Lynn said to Bill Buckley, you know, Buchanan's gonna turn this into a real culture war. And Buckley said, yeah, I know. He said, that's what we want. He said, if you believe the things Pat Buchanan does, and I, Bill Buckley, agree with them too, then you expect somebody to come out and make the case, to state it in an aggressive way and take the battle to the other side. So here we are in Minneapolis, and I'm thinking, yeah, we're kind of seeing it at last. Everybody on both sides is saying it. We're going to have a fight about what the identity of this country is. I say, even I see where my friend David Brooks leaving the New York Times, he says, well, you know, I've got to help people figure out who we are as Americans. And I'll add one more thing and let you get a word in edgewise here, Steve. I was surprised when I wrote, I wrote a profile of Pat Buchanan a number of years ago, not long after the first Trump victory. I went down to Langley, Virginia, and interviewed Pat Buchanan, did a long story on him for Esquire magazine, which he loved, by the way. And in that piece, I quote David Brooks saying, pat Buchanan is the most influential conservative intellectual in America. They weren't saying that back in 92.
- [29:17]
Ben Bergquam
No, he was the what about is Buckley's. Is what people missed is Buckley's. We got about a minute. We're gonna go to break and we'll bring you back. Is Buckley's deep seated Catholicism, which I think your biography, a lot of people have missed this, right, particularly with the National Review, is that Catholicism was to the core of his being. Was that one of the reasons he threw in with Buchanan on this cultural. On the. On the cultural fight?
- [29:39]
Stephen K. Bannon
100%, absolutely. Catholicism, Catholic values, church values, family values, the church. Buckley said when people would push back, they'd say, well, you a conservative or are you a Catholic? He'd say, catholic first, conservative second. Of course, he didn't see any difference between the two. And, you know, that's where the conflicts would come when, you know, if he thought sometimes he thought the Vatican was too left wing, you know, he'd say so, but that had nothing to do with with the core of his faith, you know.

Sam, hang on for one second. What's interesting is that Ben Berkwam, our field reporter, didn't go to Yale, didn't go to Harvard, but he laid it out. It's the fight for Western civilization in the streets of Los Angeles. Last night, in the streets of Minneapolis today, you're either going to stand and deliver or you're going to flinch. Just remember this, if you flinch or take the knee now, we'll never save Western civilization. This is the defining moment. What plays out in the streets, what plays out in Congress, what plays out in the White House, what plays out in this country is the defining moment for us as a civilization. And the other side, they know that in spades. Short commercial break Sam Tannenhouse on the Other side.

Sam, I'm gonna bring you back Monday or Tuesday. The reason is something obviously looks like it may be happening in Iran and much of the Republican establishment. If you mention Pat Buchanan's name, they spit on the floor, these neocons. Give me a minute or two. Why is that, sir?
- [33:32]
Stephen K. Bannon
He opposed the first Iraq invasion, the first war. He said America had no interest there and it was being forced for oil. And because what he called the Jewish lobby, Israel lobby, which was an outrageous term back then, maybe not so much now. There was a pro Israel group that was pushing very hard for it. And the neocons who emerged in both Bush administrations were very much involved in that. And Papychanan said he didn't see why. He didn't see why we need to fight a war war there. And so they turned on him.
- [34:10]
Ben Bergquam
We'll have you back on. They turned viciously. Sam, where do people get you and all your writings, but particularly the book? I gotta tell you, we made a push on the book before Christmas. Every person I know that came to me and said they got the book or gave it to a young person just raves about it. So it kind of reads like a. Almost like a novel, the. The whole. Because you learn about the country as you're learning about. As you're learning about Bill Buckley. So where do people go to find all your writings, including your profile of Pat Buchanan? And where do they go to find the book?
- [34:44]
Stephen K. Bannon
Samtanenhouse.com, my website, the book is right on Amazon, thanks to you. They had to reprint some, had to reprint it twice. But it's there. You can get it, you can get in hardcover or Kindle. A paperback is coming in the spring. It's a big book, but as you say, it's meant to be read. It's meant to be read like a story, a true story of a great amount.
- [35:10]
Ben Bergquam
We're going to work to make sure they delay the paperback edition because they're still reprinting the hard copy, sir, for the 5th, 6th, 7th edition. Thank you, sir. Sam, thank you.

Tell me where you are and why is it dead Empty this morning, sir. I'm at George Floyd Square. Behind me, you can see one of the multiple fists. I think there's five fists that have been raised. And what's interesting, we talk about the Red Green Alliance. They actually have the flags, the Pan African flag, which is also the black liberation theology flag up on every single one of these fists.

Stephen K. Bannon

Ben Bergquam
And then the holy grail of black liberalism, of white liberalism, of the virtue signaling left, the George Floyd memorial. This is the example, Steve, of what the left does 2020. This was their holy grail. This was their icon. They raised a billion dollars. Black Lives Matter raised a billion dollars. Not surprisingly, almost all of that money was funneled to things that didn't matter. It was. It was fraudulent. It was money laundered coming from the city where all of this fraud is being exposed. This is what the left does. They use the death. They use human misery for their political purposes and then they disappear. Nobody cares.

Stephen K. Bannon
Nobody cares anymore.

Ben Bergquam
The African black citizens, African American citizens of this country are the ones that are getting destroyed the most. You talk about replacement theory. They're getting destroyed the most by this illegal alien invasion. It's obvious. And see George Floyd right there, they used him and then they've tossed it away. They're onto bigger and better things now. 100,000 people. Ben, you'll be giving us commentary throughout the day on real America's voice and up on social media. Where do people track you down, sir?

Brother, thank you so much. Thank you for the bravery of being out there. Appreciate you. We're going to talk about Beijing, this controversy about what is actually going to go on. I have Eva in a moment. From the new federal state of China, we had Jan on from Epoch Times. Yesterday we had Posobec. There's a lot of conflicting views in the anti CCP community about exactly what's happening. But one thing I can tell you concrete, we've got Cleo Pascal. Cleo, you were in Yap and I take it's the middle of the night.
- [38:17]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
It'S about 2:30am or so. But always happy to be on the war room and to follow Sam Tanenhaus, what a privilege that is.
- [38:27]
Ben Bergquam
Cleo, you're still. All these journeys we follow you on in the Central Pacific, you're still in US Territory, correct?
- [38:36]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
Oh, so this is. I am in the Federated States of Micronesia, which is just south of Guam. So this is an independent country, but it is about 400 miles or so from Guam and it's freely associated with the US and there's about $2 billion worth of military or dual use infrastructure that's scheduled to go into this island of Yap, which has a population of about 5,000 people. The NDAA announced about almost one and a half billion just for the Runway alone. But the Chinese are already on the ground. And as if you remember, we covered an island a few hundred miles down the chain called Wuleii where the Chinese are revamping an old Imperial Japanese Runway. And that Runway will be opening on February 9th. That Runway is about 400 miles from Guam. There will be a huge opening ceremony. The president of the country is coming in, of course, the Chinese delegation, they've chartered flights, they've redirected the national boat to go to it. This is really the Chinese saying we're here in Yap and so far there isn't going to be a single representative from the United States of America attending.
- [39:54]
Ben Bergquam
Although the administration is clearly much more awakened and all over top of these issues now in the western Pacific and particularly our territories and in Diego Garcia. Can you give us an update? Because I think GB News reported last night that the deal may be dead because of President Trump just saying we're not going to do this. And we do have leverage here, which I think President Trump now fully appreciates, the leverage he's got in this deal. What's the latest? Because there's all kind of conflicting reports coming out.
- [40:21]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
Yeah. So not just leverage. The US and the UK have an existing agreement from 1966 that's due to run until 2036 which says that the Chagos Archipelago, including the critical Diego Garcia base, has to remain British. And the fine folks at the British Foreign Office apparently didn't tell or properly brief the US when the US Originally came out for the deal. And so not only does it have leverage, it could kill the deal straight up. And there are reports from the Brits and Chagossians who have been meeting with State Department that State Department intends to clarify the position and say they're against the deal. But the cabinet of the government of Mauritius just released its notes from its cabinet meeting January, January 30, where it says that there's been a proposal from the US For a high level delegation to go to Mauritius to discuss some sort of security partnership and Western Indian Ocean agreement, which implies that if that's accurate, that there's still people within the State Department or the NSS that think Mauritius should be somehow involved in something. I see no reason to see why they really shouldn't belong anywhere near the Chagos Archipelago anyway. But perhaps this is some sort of conciliatory agreement to say, okay, forget Chagos, but we'll work with you in the Western Pacific. I'm not quite sure how they're going to do it. This is a country that's very close to China, drifting close to China, but maybe somebody's trying to square the circle. I don't know. It is not clear. The only thing that we do know is if President Trump wants, and he's already stated he doesn't really like it, the deal could be dead.
- [42:15]
Ben Bergquam
By the way, the Mauritius, they're in Haak. It's the old British East India Company mentality, predatory capitalists. They're in hock to the Chinese Communist Party. Cleo, how do people follow you over the weekend? We'll get you back early part of next week to follow your travels. Where do people keep up with this? Because there may be decisions made on this at any time.
- [42:34]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
There may be. I'm on my usual X thing, but I would implore people to instead go to Pacific Mission Aviation, bmapacific.org, which is the missionary airline that flies in this area and that wants to take over that Chinese Runway. So in an ideal world, the Chinese would build the Runway and the missionaries would operate off of it, helping the people of the region with free medevac flights like they've been doing in the area for over 50 years. So Pacific Mission Aviation is, is the answer, I think, to a lot of the problems in this area in terms of the way the Chinese are putting in the infrastructure.
- [43:12]
Ben Bergquam
Give me that website one more time. We'll send everybody to it. What is it?
- [43:15]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
Pmacific.org Pacific Mission Aviation. They are an amazing group of people. The chief pilot is an American. He and his wife and five kids have been living in Yap for years, serving the people of the region, keeping the flights open on runways that were built by hand by people on the outer islands who are incredibly grateful for the service that they're rendering. And the Chinese hate them. They gave the national government a plane to try to drive them out of business. They're trying to lease the planes out from under them. They are fighting hard on the front line of it's not just western civilization. It's a real battle of good and evil all over the world.

Amazing. Eva from the new federal state of China. Eva, we've had Yan on, we've had Posobec on. What is. We got a couple minutes here. Walk us through what is going on in Beijing. Has there been a coup against Xi? Is Xi just exerting more power getting rid of top people he selected in the pla? What is going on?
- [44:25]
Guest Correspondent / Reporter
Hi Steve. Yes, it is a coup and absolutely yes, everybody is right. Xi Jinping is concentrate his power more and more. However, this is where the new federal state of China brings the value which we give you an insider perspective. What does this event actually mean inside the ccp? This is like you throw a nuclear bomb and explosive. It's going to come. On January 24th, the CCP announced the detain, the detaining of the two top, I would say the most powerful general in the PLA which is Zhang Yusha and he is the right hand man of Xi Jinping and was perceived as the long being perceived as the key holder of Xi Jinping's control of the military. And on top of it, the second person a lot of people overlooked and he's the chief joint political staff and Liu Zhen Li, they are. This is not an individual coup, this is a systematic and institutional coup. The reason why, if you look at the second general, let's put the Zhang Youxia, the most powerful general aside. Just look at Liu Zhengli. He's the one that in charge of intelligence of pla. He is the one that in charge of security of all the commanders, all the fighting generals in pla. So these two are working together against Xi and on top of it, if you're looking at the personal relationship between Zhang Youxia and Xi Jinping, that goes back to generational and family loyalty. So Xi would not touch Zhang Youxia if she had any other solution. So that is why she is so scared she's trying to cover the information realm and and this is what my old school called poison pill. If you look at the inflammation, there's a lot of noise. This is by design. If you look at X already the head of the product of X, Nikita Beer, had said they have been experiencing unprecedented clogging using illicit ads and porn on X. This is the CCP's plug the public channel information for for fear of the Chinese people finding what's really going on and for fear the world understands the significance of this event. This is a breaking point and Xi Jinping from now on cannot stop any insider attempts to taking down the regime. This is a regime change on the horizon.

We've got a change of the Federal Reserve. We've got Scott Bessens. Now also focus all the fraud going around the country, but he's also running the irs and Scott has a mandate and that is to shrink the $2 trillion deficits that we have. Part of it is just collecting more money. If you have some squabble with the irs, don't think it's going to get easier just because the Trump administration's in there. They obviously need the cash. So if you've got a dispute, one way to start get the angst and the anxiety is go to Tax Network USA, 800-958-1000. They've solved over a billion dollars of tax issues.

TAJ Gil Last night they didn't play because it happened so late, but I'm telling you, there was an outright riot outside the federal building in Los Angeles. And so these people, the propaganda, we're peaceful. We're just so peacefully. They're as violent as anything you saw in the French Revolution. They're as violent as anything you saw in the Bolsheviks. It's just when they move and they decided to do it late last night in Los Angeles, but they could, they could be triggered at any time. Your thoughts? TAJ.
- [52:14]
Stephen K. Bannon
That'S it's same thing they're doing in Minneapolis, same thing they're doing in Portland. They're attacking the federal buildings and they're doing it relentlessly. They're ripping down the gates outside. Trump needs to surge the Marines back into Los Angeles like he did at the beginning of the year, beginning of last year, that the LAPD is not going to do it. They're under orders from their mayor, Karen Bass, and the governor. So this is happening in all of the liberal states. STEVE maybe we should point this naval armada that's off the coast of Iran at Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and clean up those cities. The war is here at home. It's not overseas. We are literally under attack.

And the reviews are amazing. Just scroll through reviews. Like, people are in love with our coffee. And we have everything. We have espresso, we have K cups. We have the decaf. You know, we have the dark roast. We have the, the summer blend, which is Jamaica, Blue mountain beans. We got flavored coffee. We got it all. So we've got, we've got coffee for everyone. And we literally turn people that don't drink coffee into coffee drinkers. I, I sent a guy a package of coffee coffee lovers two weeks ago. He said, he goes, dude, I don't, I don't drink coffee. And I sent him a couple bags and I, I was like, how do you like it? He goes, I drink it every morning now. So we literally convert non coffee drinkers into coffee drinkers. People love our coffee.

They want to get into the details. Where do they go?
- [55:29]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah. Great to see you, Steve. So you can always go to sacredhumanhealth.com with the time I had, I did want to mention that we were recently sold out of our new product, which is the Sacred Healing Sab. But we are back in stock to make sure that orders are going out and the feedback we've been Getting on that specific product, even though we recently launched it, it has been amazing. I'm super happy about it. We've been getting a ton of emails and the reviews are starting to come in and all positive. But for those you know, who don't know, and we still get a lot of questions around it, people love to use it for things like if you have sore muscles, joint pain, sprains, swelling as well as arthritis support, works really well in that case. But basically you just take a little bit and you rub it onto any area of your body that needs relief. And then we paired the same salve with other nourishing herbs to help soothe things like cuts, scrapes, burns as well as insect bites. So it helps tame those quite a bit. So it's an incredibly powerful and versatile product. And again, if you, you know, have things that you want to support like muscle recovery, joint stiffness, bruise, healing, itching, minor cuts, a little bit goes a long way. And if you do want to compare it to other like pain creams on the market, unfortunately those are usually usually just, you know, petroleum based and have a ton of synthetic ingredients, whereas ours is just clean and organic and it's designed to support real healing and not just temporary relief. So it's made with our team that also produces the tallow. So we always use the highest quality ingredients that we can.
