War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Wednesday the 18th of March year of our Lord year of our Lord 2026. We're going to go to Capitol Hill here in a minute. In this explosive Senate intelligence briefing and they're going. It's quite interesting, as I said earlier in last night, regardless of how Joe Kent resigned, of how that was kind of garbled, I said it wasn't handled in the best way either I think by the White House or by Joe. And I consider myself a big, big, big Joe Kent fan, as you guys know, of the last many years that he's been on the War Room and his sacrifice to the country. Love in combat. Chief Warrant Officer Kent, 11, Combat Tour's wife, is one of the honored dead like the six that are coming back today that the president of the United States will meet at Dover Air Force base at about 1:30pm Eastern Daylight Time. All covered on Real America's Voice throughout the day. Charlie Kirk show still be up then. And I think POSO will be doing the entire ceremony. The dignified transfer live. All of that their focus. And this is for the War Room. You're the most powerful political entity out there because you're the leadership of the grassroots and the MAGA movement at a grassroots level. And what are they centering on? They're attacking Tulsi Gabbard for Georgia and implying for Maricopa County. John Solomon's going to be on later with explosive. This whole thing with the Chinese Communist Party that we knew about it and the intelligence knew it, not only knew about it, wrote reports about it later back from April of 2020. And brother Glenn Beck did the best summary of it. If we can play that later. Let's mark that. Did a great summary of it. I think yesterday on a show we also got Wynton Hall. You keep the main thing. The main thing. Well, the main thing is the Chinese Communist Party, but the other main thing is transhumanism and artificial intelligence. And we finally, finally, finally have an author that's put a book out that I think if the conservatives don't respond to this, I don't know what's going on. Because the conservative movement outside of the War Room, our own Joe Allen and our focus on transhumanism, it has been beyond pathetic. You almost got to wonder who's on whose payroll. It's that bad. Wittenhall's going to be here with Code Red. I want to go to Capitol Hill right now. Our own Neil McCabe is up there covering the hearing. Neil, I'm not going to be able to play the rest of Warner's opening, but it's pretty savage. You're telling me you get even worse after we cut away, sir. Right. So what's interesting to me about the hearing is not so much what the Republicans say to support the president or Tulsi Gabbard and the rest. It's where are the Democrats going to attack? And in his opening statement, Mark Warner zeroed in on the seizure of Fulton county ballots, saying that, you know, Gabbard's job is to look out for foreign interference in our elections, not going after domestic policy issues or the fact, you know, the Fulton county ballots where she was there present. Now, I'll tell you, in June, when I was at doj, my first of many reprimands was because Todd Blanche's staff found out that I was interested in seizing the Fulton county ballots. There was no sympathy for that position at all. In main Justice Gabbard figured out that as the director of National Intelligence, the FBI answers to her. She was able to get that search warrant through Thomas Albus in St. Louis, not Atlanta. And then she has the ballots. And so Warner keyed on that. And he also name checked Kurt Olson, who has been working on election and voter integrity issues for years, and he now works at the White House. And so not everybody knows that name, but I think people know the name now that Warner is going to be target. Steve, hang on, hang on. The Warren posse knows his name. I mean, this is why I was saying they're centering on this audience because Kurt Olson was Kerry Lake's lawyer, many people's lawyers worked on this year, was a guest on the show as he was a lawyer in those causes for many, many years, now is the special assistant to the president at the White House, kind of in charge of all of this. So Warner's going to try to go to all the efforts to get to the bottom of 2020. The Democrats in the deep state understand, as I've said over and over and over again, that's the railhead of it. You get back to that. You get back to how they stole it, who stole it and who covered it up is the greatest scandal in the history of this country. The removal of Trump. Yes. The Russiagate and all that and other elements are huge, too. But this is the beating heart of it. Why does Mark Warner, the Democratic head of the committee, remember he's the ranking, what they call minority member or the co chair Cotton Republicans obviously controlling it, but the Senate's got very different rules than the House. They almost run things as a partnership in the House. It's much, much more partisan. Warner sitting there and going after Tulsi Gabbard, ripping her apart on this very topic. In fact, we have some of the coverage. Neil, hang right there. Let's play this coverage. I got Wynton hall on deck. Let's go ahead and see Warner tangling with Tulsi Gabbard.
B
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Director Gabbard, the whole country knows that you were recently involved in an FBI operation to seize ballots in Fulton County, Georgia. Yet this was despite the fact that the warrant showed no foreign interference or nexus. Matter of fact, the warrant was based entirely on conspiracy theories that have already been examined and rejected repeatedly. Now, where is the authority for you to involve yourself in a domestic law enforcement activity?
C
Thank you, Vice Chairman. I appreciate the question. As you know, I've addressed every issue you've raised in detail in a letter, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to do it in this forum. As you stated, Congress provided by statute ODNI with the responsibility of election security and counterintelligence in 2021. As you also know, ODNI has purview.
E
Could you.
B
I know the history very well, but could you just.
C
I am addressing the question. ODNI also has purview and overview over two domestic related agencies, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, both of which have purview over election security responsibilities to ensure the integrity of our elections. I want to correct one of your statements that you've made multiple times, which is false. I did not participate in a law enforcement activity, nor would I, because that does not exist within my authorities.
B
You were present on the scene. Are the photos of you on the scene?
C
I was at Fulton county, sir, at the request of the president and to work with the FBI to observe this action that had long been awaited. I was not aware of what was in the warrant or was not in warrant.
B
And what was the president's specific request
A
for you to go to.
B
What was the specific request that was made by the President for you to show up in Fulton county to go
C
and observe the FBI's activities on this issue.
B
So why look at the fort? Do you have the answer why the president was knowing about affidavit before it was even served?
C
I'm not aware that the president knew about an affidavit before it was served.
B
Then why was he sending you to Fulton County?
C
This occurred the day that the FBI had it approved, their warrant approved by a local judge, and they began to execute this address your question, sir, about the foreign nexus question in order for us to better understand the vulnerabilities in our election systems that may exist today as we look to 2026. And yes, we are very focused on trying to make sure that this election is one that the American people have.
B
Director Gabbard, let me. I've got a number of clear votes. Director Gabbard, I have a number of questions. Let me ask my next question, please. You have not provided any of the required reports or briefings to this committee on foreign interference. This is the first threat assessment since 2017 that didn't even mention foreign interference. Last year, when you were in. Already confirmed it. Mentioned it at high level. Are you saying there is no foreign threat to our elections in the midterms this year?
C
As I stated in the outset of my remarks, this year's annual threat assessment matches the prioritization of threats and.
B
Please answer the question, yes or no. Is there foreign threat interference to our elections this year. Are there foreign.
C
Please allow me to answer the question, sir. The intelligence community has been and continues to remain focused on any collection and intelligence products that show a potential foreign threat for those who are so.
B
So far, there has been none. Then because you've made no report system. Excuse me, ma'. Am. If you want to ask the questions, you should have stayed in Congress. Please answer the questions.
C
I didn't ask you a question, sir. I'm trying to answer your questions.
B
So you're saying the failure to provide any reports or the failure to have any mention of a foreign threat assessment. I would draw the conclusion there must be no foreign threat to our elections in 2016. So that brings me a question that I have for both you, ma', am, and Director Patel. There are reports that in 2020, the president was preparing an executive order to potentially seize ballots or bring in federal forces. There is a published report that there is a similar EO being drafted right now about 2026, citing China. Director Patel, do you have any knowledge of that draft eo? Thank you, Vice Chairman.
A
I do not, sir.
B
Director Gabbard, do you have any.
C
I do not.
B
Thank you. Let me move to Iran now. I understand and I appreciated, Director Gabbard, your comments yesterday about agreeing that the President has sole authority, I guess, in his bones to declare whether something is an imminent threat. I didn't agree with your friend, Mr. Kent, but I didn't. Again, I agreed with him yesterday on the fact that there was no imminent threat. I guess what I'm concerned about one thing is even in your printed testimony today on page six and your last paragraph on page six, as a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There's been no efforts to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. You omitted that Paragraph from your oral opening. Was that because the President said there was an imminent threat? Two weeks?
C
No, sir, I recognize that the time was running long and I skipped through some of the portions.
B
So you chose. You chose to take my oral delivered remarks. You chose to omit the parts that contradict the President. The President continues to say as well that, you know, he had no idea, was shocked that the Iranians had moved to take over the Strait of Hormuz. Did you provide any intelligence that would say that it would be that it was not likely that the Iranians would try to move on the Strait?
C
I'm not aware of those remarks. And I think those of us here at the table can point to the fact that historically, the Iranians have always threatened to leverage their control of the.
B
Why would the President say he was amazed?
C
I'm not aware of those remarks?
B
What about the comments the President made that thought that he was surprised? Again, reports that Iran struck the adjacent Gulf states.
C
Again, I'm not aware of those remarks. We have.
B
Well, let me ask you this. Did you brief the President? Did you brief the President? Did you brief the President, if he starts a war of choice, that the likely result would be that Iran would strike adjacent Gulf nations and close the Strait of Hormuz? Did you brief him on those two facts that I think have been consistently the assumptions of the intelligence community?
C
I have not and won't divulge internal conversations. I will say that those of us within the intelligence community continue to provide the President with all of the best objective intelligence available to inform his decisions.
A
Senator Collins.
C
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
A
Let me have it back. Thank you. You see right there, and it gets more and more intense. We'll cover this throughout the day. You have young men and women in harm's way. How do we know that? Six of our finest were returned to the United States Today at approximately 1:30pm Eastern Daylight Time for what the military refers to as a dignified transfer, we refer to as our honored dead returning to their country. The President of the United States, the Commander in Chief will be there to participate in that ceremony. We'll cover it live on Real America's Voice. I think Jack Posovic, the Charlie Kirk show that follows us will pick it up and then Jack Bosovic will have it during his two o' clock show. Obviously, we're back here at five. Explosive day. And we got two more things to add to that. Wynton hall is going to join us. Book Code Red that talks about the real threat of artificial intelligence. China, the Chinese Communist party and quite frankly, how people are just trying to look the other way on this. You can't look the other way. You must face it. John Solomon later, with his explosive expose on the Chinese Communist Party, direct interference in the 2020 presidential election doesn't shock this audience. We've been hammering on this for years now. It's all coming out, folks. Short commercial break Take your phone out. Text Bannon Bannon at 989-898.

you never miss a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay, the book is called Code Red. It is the left, the right China and the Race to Control Artificial Intelligence is by Wynton hall is a long term colleague of Peter Schweitzer myself I don't know, 10, 15, 20 years. One of the best researchers out there, a brilliant writer. In the introduction to his book, which is kind of going off as an air burst over Washington, D.C. right now, he quotes Sam Altman. After thousands of years of compounding scientific discovery and technological progress, we have figured out how to melt sand, add some impurities, arrange it with astonishing precision at extraordinarily tiny scale into computer chips, run energy through it, and end up with systems capable of creating increasingly capable artificial intelligence. This may turn out to be the most consequential fact about all of human history so far. And as we've said on the show many times, it is a predicate to the singularity. And at the singularity, on this side you have Homo sapien, and on the other side, you have Homo sapien 1.5, 2.0. Don't know. Wynton Hall. Why is this book. Why is this book right now causing. You know, you got Blackburn, you've got Cotton, you got Rick Scott, you've got so many people that are commenting on this book. Lead story in Breitbart. Why is this book, given everything that's going on, why is this book right now causing a firestorm on Capitol Hill? Sir?
D
Well, Steve, it's because they can't get away with this line that AI is just a tool. It's political power. And you have seen ahead of this curve, you and Joe Allen for years. I wish we had more people like you in the movement talking about this. Everybody needs to understand AI is the axis upon which all policies are about to spin, okay? Whether you're talking about education, you're talking about the ability to educate or indoctrinate, whether you're talking about to erase or create jobs, or whether you're talking about how to bring somebody alive or dead off a battlefield, this is it and they know it. And so what has happened is we're exposing what the reality is in all of their different ruses that they have pulled. The one that right now is smashed a hornet's nest right now that you're talking about. So one of the things I did was a very comprehensive analysis of all of the different LLMs and specifically Google Gemini and their deep research. And I asked it to take the 100 current senators assess.
A
Hold, hold. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Slow down, slow down. Just tell. Describe what an LOM is for the audience. I want to make sure we're going to have you on many times. One of the most important things for the Warren Posse and for the show is we give, we talk about process, critical path, but also nomenclature. So people are going to start to get, as you've told Winton's one of my mentors, as you've told me in information warfare people have to get their own mental maps. One of the things we're trying to do here is a mental map of exactly what's going on. So what's an LOM and why is that important?
D
Brilliant. LLM is large language model. This is like your chatbot. When you hear people Talk about like ChatGPT and in this case we're talking about Google, one of the biggest far left offenders and their chatbot and it is named Gemini and they have a functionality called deep research. This is their most advanced deep thinking reasoning model. And you simply asked it to. I asked it to compile 100 US senators public statements and assess who has violated their hate speech policies, quote unquote. Okay. And what it returned was a 3400 word granular report. This is not like just a little blip, okay. And it was essentially a full scale candidate attack generator against Republicans. The findings, seven US Senators, all Republican are hate speech violators. And funny enough, as Joe Allen talks about hallucinations in AI, meaning made up bs. That sounds very confident. They also threw in Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio as well. The seven that they named were Senator Tuberville, Cotton, Blackburn, Hagerty, Scott, Hyde, Smith and Hawley. And then they threw in the others. And this what people have to understand, this is not just getting something wrong, okay? This is actually weaponizing election political information against one side exclusively. And here's why this is infuriating. Everybody in the war room posse, all Americans, we, our tax dollars go to the tunes of billions of dollars in contracts to Google and yet they have anathematized against half of the nation's values and beliefs. That's outrageous. And I'll tell you another thing and why it's outrageous in the AI action plan from President Trump 2025 just few months ago he as one of his core pillars says we cannot have ideologically biased AI systems and if there are, they should not get federal procurements. Amen to that Mr. President. Great leadership on that point. He's exactly right. And that's exactly what is happening right here. And so what has just happened in the last 24 hours, Senator Scott, Senator Blackburn, Senator Cotton have all come out on this code red bombshell revelation of the Google Gemini scandal with this. And they have issued statements because they have been smeared by Google AI. And I'm sure going to get statements from the others as well. But you know, this is something you saw coming years ago. That's why you and Joe Allen set up, you know, this information. But the conservative movement has got to start really focusing on the power of AI as political power, because that's what it is.
A
I want to go back because you say in the book, I'm not here to get you up to speed on, on artificial intelligence and all the. Because you know, Elon says, and we had a clip yesterday with Joe Allen when I did an hour with him, that he goes to bed and when he goes to bed, there's a huge, as he's going to bed, they're reporting to him, they're huge developments in AI. He goes to sleep, he wakes up five, six hours later, there's more developments in AI. It's accelerating at an accelerating rate. And those gu the accelerationist. But you actually the reason this book's so important, you're saying, hey, in the fog of war, I'm going to cut through all of that and say that this is a race for pure raw power. Yes, wealth beyond what Croesus thought, but this is a direct grab for power, not just geopolitically with China, which you get into, but here in the United States. What do you mean by that?
D
We often think and talk about AI in technological terms and I think that's important. I know that you and Joe Allen do great reporting on the updates on the studies and I think that's really important. This book has 80 pages of endnotes, over 850 endnotes. But what I say from the jump is this, look, this is a politics book about AI. No one has really looked singularly through that lens since we've been in a post chatgpt world. And if once you start to understand who is Sam Altman, what are his political donations, what is his history in policy efforts, what about Dario Amadei? What about Mustafa Suleiman? What about any of these tech billionaire, left leaning AI architects? And here's what you start to realize. They're not hiding it anymore. They're not hiding their political agenda, okay? In fact, Mustafa Suleiman says, quote, technology is political and they cannot be divorced. And you know what? I think you and I and the rest of the war room pods agrees with that. And it's time that we start realizing what the agenda is. Let me give you one quick example that I think is so important, okay? We talk about job displacement and the fear around AI. Job displacement is Very real. We know the disruptions are coming. But I want you to understand the political mindset of these folks. In 2016, a young man went on a blog and he said, I want to do the first biggest longitudinal study. I want to give everybody $1,000 a and just see what they'll do with it. We know this, of course, is universal basic income. Ubi, Right? And he said he thinks that in the future, technology may require this. And he put $60 million. $60 million. Largest, most expensive UBI study in American history over many years. The results were a little bit mixed bag, but then he said why he wanted to do it. He said that, I think it will be in the future. Silly that we ever thought that people should have to work for their food and to fear not being able to eat. Otherwise known as the Protestant work ethic that built free market capitalism. That young man's name was Sam Altman. That year was 2016. ChatGPT came out in November of 2022. He was thinking about wealth, global redistribution, and UBI almost six years before he unleashed Chachi Beatty. We have to know who these people are. We have to understand their policy agenda, and we got to get ready.
A
When. When you talk about. President Trump has tried to be at the forefront of this. Anybody said the other day, hey, all this AI that's been used in Iran, you know, he says, look, they're a disinformation country. And all this that's coming up. He did write his executive order, and this executive order, essentially he wants no state authority whatsoever. You've seen Ron DeSantis leading this fight in Florida. And I think that one of the issues is, like you point out quite brilliantly, some of the things that President Trump believes are supposed to happen is the exact opposite of what's happening. In fact, when he says that WOKE AI, the left's version of this should not be have any access to federal funding. And essentially, not only they have access to federal funding with massive, massive programs with the Department of War and others, but they are also essentially running the weapons labs right now free of charge by the American taxpayer. The WOKE AI, because these oligarchs are all on the left. They just came to President Trump at the last second. Give me a minute on that. I'm gonna hold you through the break. Isn't the issue that we've got an executive order that could be used qu. Well, but it's actually being subverted by the oligarchic power of the AI overlords. Sir, these.
D
These folks are playing 5D chess, okay? These are these guys, understand? Look, they're the ones that built this control grid. We saw what they did with the Global Disinformation Index. We saw what they've done with scan and ban technology to demonetize, deplatform, silence and delist any conservative right of center person that they disagree with. Okay, so they know how to play this 5D chess. They're, they're happy to run out the clock on the second term and toggle switch back to the control grid and what they have built that is meant to silence and scan and ban conservative voices. Now, you're exactly right. President Trump, what he's got will work well if, as you point out, we're able to prevent all this abuse.
A
Hang on, hang on, hang on. I'm gonna hold you. We get to the punchline in the next segment.

Okay, we're gonna break this down in the five o' clock show the imminent threat. Everything is so intel. People are getting lit up over there. We'll break that all down for you at five because we need to focus on this. So John Solomon joins us. John, you last night released this with access to these reports about Chinese Communist Party influence in, in April of, of 2020. And I want to try to get to the Glenn Beck thing today. If not, I'll play it tonight. He did a great example. Here's what I don't understand. You've released something that is irrefutable because it's theirs. It's their report about their own cover up. And yet Warner sitting there and he's saying, hey, we know we have foreign interference in these elections. I want to get to that. But then he's hammering Tulsi Gabbard for Georgia and she's playing defense. I'm kind of missing. I'm kind of. I'm a simple guy. I'm missing it. You have revealed not only the CCP's involvement from April 2020. But the own departments like Ombudsman were saying there was a cover up here. Why can't we just have a straight conversation at these hearings where we start put. Why is Tulsi and Ratcliffe and Cash. Why they not putting this every time they're hammered on these questions, why don't they just put out. Why don't they just put out these reports, sir?
E
Yeah, that's a great question. Clearly today Tulsi Gabbard appears to be unprepared for the questioning she had. There is great evidence to combat every one of these concerns that the Democrats are trying to manufacture in the hearing. If you're talking about Iran, let's just talk about Iran. Something she didn't do a very good job of today. At least not yet. That I saw in this hearing. We captured three IRGC officials on our soil. We got rid of them in January. In late January we learned that the Iran was negotiating for a hypersensation sonic missile from China in a couple weeks. Later we learned that they bought a whole bunch of shoulder fired Stinger like missiles that can take down airplanes. If that isn't an imminent threat to the United States, I don't know what it is. It's not possible that I can know this. And Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe don't. They're the intelligence agencies. They are not well prepared to answer the imminent threat question that was obviously going to be raised after yesterday's departure by Joe Kent. By the way, Joe Kent's statement. I know Joe Kent. I honor his service. I mean the Guy was deployed 11 times. He lost his wife in combat. Great American. But his statement yesterday just wasn't true. There was an imminent threat. The intelligence was there. The President put it all together and do it. And you're not serving the President. If you say, hey, the President made that decision, I'm hands off on it. You're the dni, you know the intel.
A
Hang on. Okay, hang on. As you know, I'm close to Joe Kent. I revere the guy. He did the wife, you know, the service of the country.
E
American hero.
A
On the imminent threat then. American hero. But here's what's so. And I said yesterday, the way he left, I don't agree. You gotta go see the President. The President's had your back before. Picture of this. But I said leave that aside. The situation, not just the imminent threat is the intelligence we're getting from the Mossad. But how can we have a hearing today? And even your case, you're Saying, hey, the Iranians, it was imminent threat, we got it. How can we sit there and go, Ratcliffe, Tulsi and Cash weren't ready for these questions and weren't ready for the fire they got. And on top of it, to me, that's all important. Obviously, we're fighting a war. But the deeper issue to me that's got to be addressed in front of the American people is the Chinese Communist Party. This 2020 in Tulsi, she's just getting hammered. She's getting hammered for the, for the, for the race. Don't back off it. Lean into it and lean into the fact that, hey, this is what we've got and this is where we gotta get to the bottom of it.
E
Sir, if Tulsi Gabbard looked Mark Warner into the face and said, sir, we were told for six years that there was no foreign intrusions in our election. We've now indicted Iranians for hacking into one voter database. We now have evidence that 18 other states voter databases were penetrated by China. And the reason you and I don't know about that is that a series of intelligence analysts and officers under Donald Trump and Joe Biden put party before country. They decided they were not going to tell the country, they were not going to tell the Congress, they were not going to tell the President of the United States that China did these things because they didn't want to give Donald Trump ammunition on his China policy. Because that is what the ombudsman concluded on the record. There is a report that's been sitting with nobody noticing it, the Intelligence Committee ombudsman saying that the CIA intentionally kept the President and the country in the dark because they didn't like Donald Trump's policies, even used disparaging names to describe the commander in chief they're supposed to be working for. We ought to find out if any of those officers still work for the CIA because they should be fired. But she could have done that because she has all of this evidence. And by the way, she has a lot more evidence than what I've been. I've been trying to squeeze this out. She has oodles more evidence. It is more damning than what I've reported and she's been sitting on it. Why? I don't know. She didn't deploy it today. The President knows of this evidence. The White House chief of staff knows of this evidence. They went into, I think Cash Patel has answered the imminent threat pretty interestingly. Iran. He's talked about China. He brought up the driver's licenses today. That was important. Radcliffe seems a little bit more engaged, but Tulsi seems to just be roadkill. She's not using the data in front of her agency to tell a story that's much more compelling.
A
Did the President, I thought I saw that he true socialed. There's so much information. Did he true social report yet, sir?
E
Oh, yeah, the President gets a hold of this one.
A
Okay, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on. This is what I don't get. Why is the White House. And look, we're trying to be constructive here because we're now down to the heart of it. Why is the President of the United States. Because I said, hey, put it. Why does he read truth? Which is him saying, I think this is important and you should focus on it. Your explosive peace. And yet folks at the White House are telling you, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We want to tamp this down. We don't want to mess up. Although Caroline did come out today, I think said at the sticks, we're not going to have a visit to China. How the hell can we have a visit to China? They're trying to buy hypersonic weapons. They're an ally to Iran. They're trying to get the oil out of the, out of the Gulf and let nobody else get it. And of course, Solomon showing you that the pandemic and the stealing of the 2020 election is inextricably linked. When is the White House going to sit there and go, hey, maybe the President should do one of those bilats from the Oval Office and John Solomon ought to be sitting in the other chair. We just take questions from the media, right? Wouldn't that be a way to get it all on the table?
B
Sir?
E
You know what the way to do it, what I think we've stumbled onto with the Trump administration, by the way, which has had an incredible run in the first 14 months, it's accomplished an enormous amount, but most of that was pre wired because of four years of great preparation when they were in the diaspora. They now, you now see that they're not prepared to pivot on their feet as well as they could. You don't have people who can. Can think on their feet and make good decisions for the President to advance the agenda beyond the playbook you started with. And championship teams win with people that can make the moment great even when it's under difficult circumstances. The second our stories came out, the second we started teasing them, you would think that the White House would have a narrative ready that you would think that the President would Get Harmeet Dhillon, who has said on this network, on my show last week, we found tens of thousands of noncitizens that made it on the voter rolls, and we've only looked at 10 states. I just want to say that again, in 10 states, they've already found tens of thousands and dozens of illegal aliens who voted. If every senator was forced to sit for a briefing and say, senator, in your state, we found this many noncitizens on your voter rolls, this many people voted, and, oh, you're one of the states that DNI and CIA know got hacked by China, or that they gained access to your voter data. Because we don't know exactly how they did it. Was it hacking? Was it some other nefarious meme? We don't know. But we know what happened. We would have the exact same circumstance in America that happened in Great Britain. When Great Britain learned in 2024 that its voter database was hacked, its leaders, its liberal leaders, because it was under liberal leadership, did the right thing. They briefed the country. They briefed the parliament. They were shamed that such a terrible thing happened. They punished China and they made election security a top priority. We should be doing that here. But nobody's at the podium driving the narrative. Nobody knows or commands the evidence. Like what is sitting in their own files. Listen, they have stuff on Congress being penetrated by China. They should get that out. Because infiltrations of Chinese experts in Congress is a very serious matter. They know of money changing hands. They know of a foreign power. I confirmed this this morning, Steve. There's a foreign power that was discussing routing USAID money to Joe Biden's campaign in 2024 that was intercepted by our intelligence agencies. They should be driving that narrative with evidence. They don't know how to command the podium. They don't know. President Trump does. His storytellers don't. They react. They counter punch. They let the other people throw the first punch, like Tulsi today, and they don't tell the narrative.
A
I think you just had the most brilliant, and I'm gonna cut that. The most brilliant analysis about the years in the wilderness and what happened the first hundred days or six months of administration. Cause President Trump is a quarterback that calls audibles. Every time he comes to the line of scrimmage, the play that may not be the play you run. He's calls audible. That's why you gotta be on your feet all the time. And he's calling audibles. And you've gotta be able to. You got to be able to run that play when he calls audible, Solomon, it's more explosive than ever. I think we have the new deputy head of DNI talking to him right now. John Solomon. John, where do people go to get all your. Something's got to happen. We just can't keep on like this.
E
I'm just a scrivener. I'm going to go back to my typewriter when we're done.
A
The show, your podcast, the news. You got to be on just the news. Put it on your feed because you're breaking stuff all the time. And by the way, Dunleavy's amazing. I'm glad you've got so many great people over there.
E
Such a great reporter. Yeah, we're very lucky.
F
Yeah.
E
Just the news.com, jay Solomon reports on social media. Yep. Yeah. J. Solomon reports on social media. Justthednews.com and I follow you every day at 6 o' clock right here on the great Real America's Voice.
A
So John just dropped about three bombshells there that we'll follow up on, including the 2024 election and Biden, USAID. Unbelievable. John Solomon. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. So when we want people to buy this book, you got to buy this book. You got to get into this book and immerse yourself in this book. And the book is Code Red. It's out today. You can go to a bookstore and get it. You can go to Amazon. This is going to be New York Times. Not just top 10 bestseller, probably a number one bestseller coming off your partner Peter Schweitzer. That's a hell of a duo, you know, with Schweitzer doing the invisible. Cool. But the Chinese Communist Party. I'm going to hold you through the break, but I just got a simple question. Talk to me about the China part of the AI we got Jensen Huang announcing they selling more chips to China than ever. You've just heard John Solomon laying out irrefutable evidence that the intelligence community knew about them trying to steal the 2020 election. Why do we even have to have your book in this in depth of how it's even a race for artificial intelligence. They're nothing without us. And yet we feed their ecosystem that allows them to compete with us. Wynton. Sir.
D
Exactly right. The reason we've got to have it is we have to understand how sophisticated this operation is. They've been since 2017 had their marker down for a 2030 global domination of AI okay, so I were all talking about all of this bread and circus stuff. They're focused like a laser Beam on owning the future because they know exactly the power of AI, that it's political power, the choke points, the export controls and the chip topic that you're talking about is vital. I go through exactly the solutions. This is not just a oh, it's all over, there's nothing we can do book. What I really try to do is show the existential crisis and threat, but then very specific principles and things that we can be doing and we have to hold people accountable for the H200 chip Nvidia argument that you're talking about. Essential, right? All of these choke points have to be maximized so that we can stay ahead. Look, if you believe as we're told and it's right that we are in this very essential race with China in AI, what I say is we've got to beat China without becoming. We do not want to live in a techno authoritarian surveillance CCP state. We do not want to be able to have a digital gulag and a pixelated prison, okay? What we want is our freedoms that our forefathers gave us and men and women have died for in this country. And we want to make sure that our leaders are staying ahead of that curve by also having a citizenry that's ahead of that curve. And that means you got to understand these issues. And that's why I try to lay it out and make it simple without being simplistic.
A
Hang on one second. The book is Code Red. The author is Winton Hall. Take a short commercial break. Win on the other side,
B
Here's your
A
host, Stephen K. Ban. If you remember, it was about a Code Red that Jack Nicholson in the movie A Few Good Men said you can't handle the truth. I think this is why this book is so important right now, particularly for conservatives. Wynton hall, give me one minute on why it's named Code Red and why this must be addressed immediately, not just by the nation as a whole, but particularly the conservative movement that is, as I've said for years, is either put their head in the sand or somehow do not want to address this, the most urgent of all of our problems, sir.
D
I remember years ago, Steve, when you explained to me that Brexit was going to revolutionize things and nobody was even talking about it or thinking about it. And for five years on this program with this audience and Joe Allen and a host of others that you're working with saw around the curve and that's this moment we are in. The reason it's titled Code Red, it's a double meaning one an Alert flare, an alarm, a wake up call. But the second reason is that we need a code, a set of principles for the red political view, the conservative right side of the political view, the conservative populist movement, to give us some very specific things. Understanding in education, in national security, certainly in economics and jobs, what they're up to, what is going to be done and how it's going to be politically weaponized. Not in my words, but literally just old style journalism. Quoting them in the speeches that very few people were paying attention to, in the articles that no one reads because they're in some trade journal somewhere and unearthing all that material, laying it out in a very systematic way. A lot of people say, man, I wish I could get my family members to understand how vital this is. That was the goal. Something that we can be able to use as a roadmap for this code red moment that we're in of alert flares and alarms, but also some actual action. You don't get to opt out of this thing. You said it right, 99% of us use AI. Even 64% don't realize it because it's now baked in to every single algorithm, whether it's your weather app or your Netflix subscription or streaming. Hopefully it's not Netflix, but you're streaming, so. So the bottom line is this. It's a reality. And you said it right. We can't put our head in the sand. We got it. We got to take it head on.
A
When you're going to be all over media, I want a place that people can go because you're going to do book tours, you're going to be out there, you're going to be all over media. I want people to get as many touch points as possible and also order the book. This is one of those books, once you get it, you're going to want to order it for people in your family, particularly for young people, to get them up to speed as quickly as possible in the world they really live in. Where do people go as a central location to find out everything about you, the book, and particularly where you're going to be on both media and where you're going? I know you're doing Glenn Beck and a bunch of other folks. Where are you going to be and where are you going to be when you finally get these live events lined up?
D
Yeah. Thank you for that. Yeah. So aicoderedbook.com that's aicoderedbook.comthat is the central hub with the information about the book. But obviously the book is On Amazon. We just were alerted right before I came on that it is already in their top 10 on their mover and shaker. So you can get it on Amazon or anywhere you like to buy books online and then on X. I'm just at Wynton hall but it's, I appreciate the opportunity to come talk to you about it because I know this is something you've let on all along.
A
Well, the audience, it was very important for them to be to be on top of this transhumanism thing and to have this book come out which ties together the politics, china, all of it. It's one stop shop. It's quite brilliant. As you are and have been a brilliant writer and researcher for many years. Wynton hall, thank you for coming on. Look forward to getting you back here in the war room. Appreciate you.
D
Thank you so much Steve.
A
Behind the scenes, Wynton Hall's been one of the most important people in the maga movement with President Trump, Peter Schweitzer and many of the most important topics of the day. Wynton hall has been there and now he's coming out with this huge book and I think you can see just from that interview what a brilliant young man that is. Mike Lindell, last night as we had your opponent Amy Klobuchar was stepped up for the beginning of the kickoff of the Save America Act. She didn't exactly shroud herself in glory.

But most importantly talk to me about people want to know about a deal. Give me a deal, sir.

I spent I don't know, 60, 70 million on the fraud and with our election platforms what Amy, did she turn a blind eye? She. And then she, she went and got 20 some billion dollars from our federal government, put it into Minnesota to be taken by fraud and this she's not a good steward of money, Steve.

Main Theme: This episode of The War Room is a hard-charging, urgent discussion about the escalating intersection of American politics, national security, and the fast-moving AI/tech arms race—casting this moment as a watershed in both freedom and political struggle. The episode covers:
Timestamps: [04:00]–[16:00]
"Gabbard figured out that as the director of National Intelligence, the FBI answers to her. She was able to get that search warrant through Thomas Albus in St. Louis, not Atlanta."
— Neil McCabe [05:35]
Notable Exchange:
"I did not participate in a law enforcement activity, nor would I, because that does not exist within my authorities." [09:09]
"You were present on the scene. Are the photos of you on the scene?" [09:12]
Timestamps: [18:00]–[29:49]; [42:43]–[48:41]
Central Thesis:
"AI is the axis upon which all policies are about to spin—education, jobs, even life and death on the battlefield."
— Wynton Hall [19:58]
Major Bombshell:
"We, our tax dollars go to the tunes of billions of dollars in contracts to Google and yet they have anathematized against half of the nation’s values and beliefs."
— Wynton Hall [22:39]
AI as a Political Battlefield:
Trump & AI Policy:
“This is a politics book about AI, and if you don’t understand who controls these systems, you won’t understand who’s holding power.”
— Wynton Hall [25:19]
Timestamps: [29:49]–[41:19]
Major Revelation:
Critique of Trump Administration Response:
Implications for Election Security:
On Government Inertia and Narrative:
On AI Threat:
On Conservative Response:
The episode is combative, urgent, and focused on motivating grassroots conservative activism. It combines deep skepticism toward government institutions and the tech industry with a sense of existential crisis about AI, election integrity, and the fate of American democracy. Bannon repeatedly calls on his audience to educate themselves, apply political pressure, and refuse complacency: “You don’t get to opt out of this thing.”
For those who missed this episode:
It’s a bracing hour of behind-the-headlines context, laying out why election security and AI dominance are now ground zero in American political struggle. Expect calls to action, deep dives on explosive new evidence, and a warning: The “Code Red” moment is here, and the time for waking up is now.
