"There Was No Mechanism To Commit To Cuts.” Steve Bannon On Budget Reconciliation
Steve Bannon delivered an urgent update on escalating global and domestic tensions under President Trump. He highlighted a near-1,000-point market drop driven by a deepening U.S.-China trade war, which now appears full-scale. Bannon praised Trump’s firm stance on tariffs and noted impressive inflation numbers for the second month. He criticized the House for struggling to advance budget negotiations, calling proposed $1.5 trillion cuts over ten years insufficient. He warned of potential bond market instability and emphasized uncertainty around fiscal planning for 2026. Bannon concluded by framing the China conflict as an economic and geopolitical confrontation with global consequences.
End Of The Dollar Empire: Wren Reports From Jakarta On 90 Day Pause On Tariffs Excluding China
Steve Bannon and Caroline Wren discussed President Trump’s strategic pause on Southeast Asian tariffs—excluding China—to encourage trade deal negotiations. Wren praised the move as a classic Trump "Art of the Deal” tactic that lowers market tension, isolates China, and brings ASEAN nations to the table. They noted that Trump’s broader goal is to restore advanced manufacturing and counter China’s non-tariff trade barriers and economic manipulation.
From Jakarta, Wren highlighted Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s planned visit to Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam—an effort to pressure these nations away from U.S. deals. She proposed that the U.S. invite Malaysia to Washington during Xi’s visit to force a diplomatic choice. Wren warned Xi’s Southeast Asia tour will accompany increased military activity, including possible drills over Taiwan.
Bannon emphasized the geopolitical stakes, citing U.S. military deployments and plans to secure the Panama Canal. He and Wren exposed China’s bribery tactics—handing out gold-laced business cards to foreign officials. They argued that the U.S. is the better long-term partner, offering transparency and stability. With over 75 countries expressing interest in new deals, they framed Trump’s trade strategy as principled and popular, positioning him as the leader of a global economic realignment.
"The Entire Geopolitical Reset Is Predicated Around China” Bannon SLAMS Elites For Their CCP Support
Steve Bannon, speaking on WarRoom, emphasized the intensifying political battle in Texas, criticizing Senator John Cornyn as a “globalist” aligned with the Deep State and McConnell-Bush establishment. He praised grassroots efforts supporting Attorney General Ken Paxton against smear campaigns and highlighted the importance of the upcoming 2026 election. Shifting to geopolitics, Bannon warned of China’s growing threat, blaming U.S. elites for empowering the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of American workers. He credited President Trump’s tariffs and trade negotiations—particularly with Peter Navarro and Bob Lighthizer—as crucial to challenging China’s economic aggression. Bannon argued that the U.S. is now fully engaged in economic warfare with China, citing Trump’s bold tariffs and international strategy. He also noted rising global resistance to China’s Belt and Road ambitions and emphasized the strategic movements of U.S. defense officials in Asia and Latin America. Ultimately, Bannon framed the moment as a populist-nationalist push against entrenched globalist power.
ROBERTS’ WAKE-UP CALL: Davis On 5 SCOTUS Wins For President Trump Against Rogue Activist Judges
Mike Davis and Steve Bannon emphasized the recent string of victories President Trump secured at the U.S. Supreme Court, portraying them as a turning point against judicial overreach. Davis argued that Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett finally responded to public pressure—particularly from grassroots conservative efforts like the War Room and the Article III Project—after weeks of judicial "sabotage.” The five Supreme Court decisions reasserted Trump’s Article II executive authority, allowing him to fire federal employees, deport criminal illegal aliens including MS-13 members, and halt billions in foreign aid pending national security review.
They blamed radical judges—especially a recently appointed Muslim judge in D.C.—for circumventing presidential powers and endangering national security. Davis accused this judge of sending $2 billion abroad without proper vetting and called for his impeachment. He also warned that activist courts would continue resisting Trump’s constitutional mandates. Bannon and Davis called for accountability through legislative defunding of the judiciary and impeachment proceedings. Both declared that sabotage would not be tolerated in Trump’s second term, and vowed to protect his presidency from legal subversion using grassroots action and strategic litigation.

GERTZ: President Trump Won’t Be Able To Work His ‘Art Of The Deal’ Magic With Xi
Steve Bannon and Bill Gertz to discuss the intensifying unrestricted warfare waged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against the United States. Gertz emphasized that President Donald Trump is the first U.S. president in over 40 years to clearly confront the economic and military threat posed by the CCP. He praised Trump’s business acumen in identifying the strategic dangers, shifting the confrontation from "U.S. vs. the world” to "U.S. vs. China.”
Gertz recounted traveling with Defense Secretary Hegseth to the Indo-Pacific Command, where top military leaders warned of China’s unprecedented military buildup—the largest since WWII—and urged rapid U.S. investment in asymmetric warfare to counter Beijing’s threat without going kinetic. He stressed that China’s ambitions are global, ideological, and rooted in Marxist-Leninist principles, making traditional deal-making impossible.
Bannon argued that China is economically vulnerable, especially as its attempt to pivot from an export-driven to a consumer-driven economy falters. He linked this to the CCP’s push for de-dollarization through BRICS and gold-backed yuan deals, calling it a direct threat to American financial supremacy. The conversation underscored the urgency of mobilizing all aspects of U.S. power to halt China’s strategic advance.
ANTONI: Inflation Numbers Slow And Decline Under President Trump
Steve Bannon and economist EJ Antoni focused on the urgent need for fiscal discipline under President Donald Trump’s administration. Antoni strongly affirmed that excessive government spending and ballooning deficits remain the primary drivers of inflation, warning that continuing down the Biden-era path of unchecked borrowing and printing would jeopardize Trump’s economic legacy. Antoni emphasized that any reconciliation package must include significant spending cuts—not just tax reductions—if the U.S. wants to avoid a repeat of the past four years of inflation.
They also criticized the Federal Reserve, notably Chair Jerome Powell, for failing to coordinate effectively with fiscal leadership, noting Powell had worked against Trump in his first term. Bannon underscored the importance of restoring confidence in the bond market, which has suffered massively under Biden, experiencing its worst run in over a century. Both agreed that gimmicks and smoke-and-mirror budget tactics must end and called for adult conversations on fiscal strategy, especially regarding tax cut extensions and spending caps.
Ultimately, they argued that this is America’s last real chance to implement a pro-growth, supply-side economic solution, with Trump’s leadership and public engagement as critical components in defeating inflation and China’s economic aggression.
