Bannon`s War Room
Episode 4937: The Arms Race Over AI; Polling Shows The Right Need A Wakeup Call
19 Nov 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm going to one-up you.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of the $600 billion investment in the U.S.?
I want to share what the president said right now. You've agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States. And because he's my friend, he might make it a trillion, but I'm going to have to work on him. So Saudi is going to be investing at least $600 billion. And that means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street.
And what it really means for everybody that really counts is jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs. That's level set. Annual foreign investment in total in the United States has never exceeded 500 billion.
When the president talks like this, it's as though I'm watching Austin Powers and Dr. Evil with one million.
Like this is straight up nonsense. And he's saying it from our Oval Office. And I'll talk about Saudi Arabia in the region. There's a long history of Saudi Arabia promising to sort of solve problems that they after 9-11, they were going to, you know, bring the Taliban to heel and end all that. Twenty years later, U.S. troops leave and are humiliated.
And they have a long history of sort of not delivering. They went into Yemen. They were going to defeat the Houthis there. uh... several years ago that was a a mess as well and so today it been someone was very clear he did not agree to the abraham accords are not ready for that he raised the palestinian state that's that's his right he there will be no saudi troops the big
Big, big issue now is what will be this stabilization force that will go in and disarm Hamas. If that doesn't happen soon, this ceasefire, which President Trump deserves credit for, could unravel. So I don't see the Saudis sort of delivering, you know, large amounts of reconstruction funds or ground troops or pushing other Arab countries to provide those ground troops.
And that was what should have been the focus today, not a trillion dollars of investment that or a Trump-branded shopping mall in Saudi Arabia? You know, I think the country is very much worried about it. People are worried about their freedoms.
You know, one of the things we're seeing in this data and exactly in what you said about what we're seeing and how people are being treated by ICE and why that number is 56%, not approving how it's doing its job is because it's violating people's rights and freedoms. And that means that can come for anybody to the point that there are U.S.
citizens or people here with permission being literally experiencing beatings, having their human rights violated. And so I think it's very clear in this poll that there's also a divide. For people who feel threatened, and that's where we see that non-college educated white, where they feel threatened by whether or not they have a real opportunity in this country, we should be solving that.

Chapter 3: How has Saudi Arabia's history influenced current U.S. relations?
I mean, we see it in the city streets in which they are grabbing people off the streets who are US citizens and disappearing them in vans. They are ignoring court orders all around the country. And this is the reason why they keep losing in court.
You and I have talked before about how many cases they are losing in these cases involving the deployment of the military, the National Guard, or immigration. They're losing a lot of cases because they are utterly contemptuous of the law and don't even try to follow it. And then when they wind up in court, hopefully they run up against good lawyering.
The Chinese are starting to lap us when it comes to AI. Mark Zuckerberg wanted to do an advanced AI project, and they were going to hire 11 people to do that, AI experts. Seven of the 11 were born in China. You look at the top. AI experts. The United States just five years ago dominated this field no more. China is moving ahead of us.
And while we're having this space race, a race for the future, the stupidity, the stupidity that is like occupying people that are running Washington, D.C. is so self-defeating. Again,
This time period is begging for heroes. This moment in history, this chapter in history is begging for heroes. Those heroes need to come. from the Republican Party, and they need to be people that start standing up and saying, this is self-defeating. You can't have mask men going in, pulling American citizens up or people that have their proper papers. You can't, you gotta stop doing this.
Let's focus on the future. You can't like be blowing up boats
indiscriminately let's worry about china and russia you can't i mean again the distractions are just so overwhelming and we're taking our eye off of what's most important for the future of this country and that doesn't even include all of the people coming out of college that will not have jobs next year. Let me say that again.
All the people coming out of colleges that will not have jobs next year because the AI apocalypse is here now.
Potential. of this technology, the excitement is very rational. It's also true when we go through these investment cycles, there are moments we overshoot collectively as an industry. We can look back at the internet right now. There was clearly a lot of excess investment. but none of us would question whether the internet was profound or did it drive a lot of impact.

Chapter 4: What are the concerns regarding ICE and civil rights violations?
Look at his saying, oh, yeah, it doesn't matter if a Chinese company does better, if China leads it. No, that's absolutely incorrect. So the U.S. government and all this stuff about you can't have any restrictions on this. You're going to slip it into the NDA. And one argument is clearly the intellectual property. And I appreciate that. And I support that, Mike Davis and the team.
But that's a small part of it. This is to take off any control whatsoever. You have more restrictions on starting a nail salon on Capitol Hill or to have your hair braided. Then you have one of the most dangerous technologies in the history of mankind, probably the most dangerous technology. Technology has tremendous upside, if properly guided, but unguided, incredibly dangerous.
And now we know from the leaks that are coming out from the industry and the CFO of OpenAI, you understand that at least the initial financing plan for the rollout of data centers and energy that go with it is $5 trillion now. I spent last night with some very smart people about AI. They said, well, actually, that's probably half. It's probably closer to $8 to $10 trillion.
On the $5 trillion model, as put out on Zero Hedge, $1 trillion, what plugged the gap was $1 trillion was coming from you, the full faith and credit of the United States government. And you had all the tech bros last night taking pictures of themselves with the Saudis. By the way, you know, Saudis are committing to do all this. It's fantastic.
President Trump's trying to end the war in the Middle East. Trying to bring that part of the war in the Eurasian landmass, the kinetic part of the Third World War, to bring it to a conclusion. And this, I had Katz, Yavak Katz on, Yaakov Katz on last night about while Israel slept. We had Rabbi Walicki in here. Hey. Bottom line, Israel first created a two-state solution. That's what's happening.
Turks are gonna run the security. The Qataris are going to underwrite the build-out, the Qataris that are in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. Israel first did that. President Trump is trying to end this madness over there, and as I said, the Middle East is a sideshow, and Israel's a sideshow to a sideshow. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but we're talking about this country.
And the Saudis, when I look at the Saudis, I think they've got a liquidity problem. They're running huge deficits right now. So maybe he's promising all that, and that's fantastic. It'll be monitored. But this whole thing of doing AI deals and sending them chips, once again, very dangerous. The chips should not go to anywhere or to anybody that's not a U.S.
company that also has at least a modicum of regulation. You think we regulate the build-out of nuclear weapons? You think we've controlled the build-out of chemical weapons? You think we should control or try to control biological weapons? Except when Fauci goes over to China and starts underwriting a weapons lab for the Chinese Communist Party. We have to get control of this. Now, in Texas...
Greg Abbott, because of pressure, designates the Muslim Brotherhood in care as terrorist organization. Suck on that. Where's the U.S. government in doing this? Abbott. Abbott also. Brian Harrison's going to join us. Abbott also comes out, and I think Brian Harrison's got breaking news. He's going to stop the registration of vehicles to illegal aliens. Barris is going to join us.

Chapter 5: How is AI changing the job market and economic landscape?
You're giving them the financing. You've got 350,000 of their students here. You're training them. You've got them all in the weapons labs. They're all over the place. So don't sit here and tell me, oh, we have to do it. Shut that down, and then let's have a conversation. Shut it all down. Brian Harrison, we're getting big victories. I want to start.
You've got breaking news now on the illegal aliens, but also Abbott got old-time religion because the Warren Posse and others in Texas that have been pounding this, he designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as foreign terrorist organizations in violation of Texas law, sir.
Yeah, he did. I got to tell you what, the posse, guys, we are racking up conservative victory after conservative victory over the corrupt liberal uniparty establishment down here in Austin, forcing action on the Muslim Brotherhood. And then right now, I'm absolutely breaking this, Steve, on your show, First Media Outlet. I've talked to you about this.
I was on, I think, two days ago, giving out the phone number on the war room to the posse saying, melt the governor's phone lines because instead of locking arms with the Trump administration, doing everything we can to fight illegal immigration, the state of Texas has actually been facilitating illegal immigration.
For the past many, many years, and keep in mind, Governor Abbott's been a governor for 11 years. For the last decade, if you show up at a DMV, a Department of Motor Vehicle, and you want to register your vehicle, as long as you had a passport, not an American passport, any passport from any country...
Good enough for the Texas DMV, and you were allowed to register your vehicle and drive on the streets here in the state of Texas. Well, I found out about this a few weeks ago and brought exposure to this. We've talked about it on the posse. You guys delivered melt. Y'all melted the phone lines of the governor.
They secretly snuck out what they're calling a clarification late last night to tax offices all across the state of Texas, and they are implementing a new policy to now actually require proof of legal status before they just issue you a vehicle registration. So this is a huge victory, and I can tell you, It's already being implemented. I just got off the phone. I live in Ellis County, Texas.
I just got off the phone with our tax collector down here, Richard Rozier. And he confirmed that as soon as he got that new policy change, he has immediately ordered his team to begin implementation. So we are making a difference. And this is a huge difference. And I want to be really clear. There's a 0% chance.
that this would have happened if the Uniparty in Austin was left to their own devices. They didn't want to do this, and how do we know they didn't want to do this?

Chapter 6: What are the risks of unregulated AI technologies?
Even worse, Steve, he's a Canadian.
He is a Canadian. By the way, the RJC ought to check that out before they start putting big dollars into Cruz 2028.
Yeah, Ted Cruz is leading the effort. Steve Scalise also on board. You have the push to introduce something like the AI moratorium. We don't know what it is. It's all being done behind closed doors. But Scalise reported to Punchbowl News that they are trying to introduce some kind of federal preemption on states' rights to regulate AI.
Let's get the punch bowl and we'll put it up. Joe Allen's in the house. The War Room Posse's going to the ramparts. We stopped this before. We will stop it again. Short commercial break. Back in the War Room in a moment. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCB.
