Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
|
unidentified
|
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | |
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | |
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, and the worst happens... War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Live from the nation's capital, you're in the War Room. | ||
| This is War Room Pandemic. | ||
| It is Saturday, the 12th of December, the year of our Lord 2020. | ||
| Now on a podcast, one of the largest in the nation and the world, over 24 million downloads of the podcast. | ||
| And we're very proud of that because we're ubiquitous everywhere. | ||
| We're live on the John Fredericks Radio Network nationwide. | ||
| We're also streamed. | ||
| We're on satellite with Real America's Voice, Dish, Channel 219, also Comcast, Channel 113. | ||
| We're everywhere. | ||
| We're on Facebook, YouTube, and G-News and G-TV, simultaneously translated into Mandarin for the diaspora of the Chinese people throughout the world, also blown through the firewall later in the day into mainland China. | ||
| So this is why the show every day has tens of millions of viewers. | ||
| And also listeners in our podcast. | ||
| I want to thank everybody so far today. | ||
| Massive rallies here in Washington, D.C. | ||
| There's speeches. | ||
| It looks like the crowd could be north of the crowd that met about a month ago, and the range there was 500,000, maybe a million. | ||
| I've never seen a crowd like that since the early parts of the Tea Party days. | ||
| Remember, we specialize here in signal. | ||
| Not noise. | ||
| We don't chase rabbits every day. | ||
| What we try to do is focus on the most important topics. | ||
| And what Wellington said, it was over the other side of the mountain. | ||
| Very honored now to have a guest that Joel Kotkin, one of the, I think, premier thinkers, not just in the United States, but in the world. | ||
| And I've been a, quite frankly, a fan of his writing, his thinking for many, many decades. | ||
| I think back in the 1980s, he was the first, when I came out of the service, I think, He left Harvard and was at Goldman Sachs. | ||
| I think he had a book out in the mid-80s about Asia and about how the United States had to partner with these Asian economies and really coming out of the Pacific fleet and spending so many years in China and understanding the importance of Asia. | ||
| I said that, man, you don't see many people in America that really understand the future. | ||
| We're a Pacific country. | ||
| This is a Pacific century. | ||
| He really has combined geography, demographics, economics, and geopolitics to be one of the foremost thinkers in the world. | ||
| He's got an article up on American Mind right now that everybody should read, so I want to bring in Joel Koch. | ||
| And Joel, walk us through your piece about who the winners are. | ||
| You know, we had Rudy Giuliani on earlier, we had John Eastman yesterday. | ||
| We believe we're hurtling towards not just a constitutional crisis, but now because of these investigations and And, you know, the situation with the Chinese Communist Party and their infiltration into Wall Street and how they're so deeply embedded in our economy. | ||
| We started this show on a war and pandemic back in mid-January. | ||
| We were the very first people, in fact, I talked to all of my buddies in the media who mocked and ridiculed me about calling this a pandemic. | ||
| I said, no, no, no, no, this is going to be one of the most important things in human history. | ||
| It will trigger an economic crisis. | ||
| It will trigger a financial crisis. | ||
| And it will ultimately trigger a geopolitical crisis, because it will bring to the forefront the confrontation between the Chinese Communist Party and the forces of liberty throughout the world, led by the United States, but also with India and Japan and Australia and Europe. | ||
| So you just wrote this amazing piece. | ||
| About who's going to be the winner now. | ||
| The oligarchs, the CCP, etc. | ||
| I just want to give you the stage and have you walk through because we really want to make sure that the War Room Pandemic Posse, which is a fairly massive audience, gets to start to know you and appreciate you. | ||
| You're not going to agree with everything Joel Kotkin says, but one thing I will tell you. | ||
| That if you want to be ahead of the news, if you want to be ahead of where the world is going, he's a writer that you have to read and you have to grapple with. | ||
| So, Joel, talk about this latest piece you just put out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, what I was trying to do was understand who was winning, who was losing in this change. | |
| And I try to think Imagine what the Tocqueville or Marx or some serious analyst or Weber would look at this and say, what is actually happening? | ||
| It's not just, you know, Donald Trump is, you know, is this and Joe Biden is that. | ||
| We're really talking about a bigger shift in America. | ||
| One that I think is moving us away from our traditional Republican towards something that's more feudalistic, which is what the book is about. | ||
| But here's a few things that happened. | ||
| If you think about it by social class, and I tend to have that orientation coming myself from more left than right originally, the people who benefited under President Obama were what I call the clerisy. | ||
| In other words, the universities, the expert class, if you want to use that terminology, and Wall Street and Silicon Valley. | ||
| And by the way, When the Obama people left office, that's where exactly where they went. | ||
| Who, what was Trump? | ||
| Well, I think Trump is a very imperfect instrument for social change for sure. | ||
| But I do think that he did rally small business. | ||
| I think small business has been his absolute base. | ||
| the one group that's, and including, I think, a lot of the minorities who now voted for him. | ||
| And he's increasingly become the, and helped turn the Republican party, oddly enough, into a working class party, which is quite a change. | ||
| In this new election, and with, you know, I'm assuming President-elect Biden will get into office, I think you're going to see the resurgence of the very same coalition that supported President Obama, which includes a lot of the minority group leaders, even though minorities did better under President Trump than they did under President Obama, but that's, you know, that's beside the point. | ||
| Uh, the- Some minority leaders, you know, people who, who representing their minority group is, is their business. | ||
| Large corporations and of course the tech companies. | ||
| You know, I don't think President Trump ever could lay a hand on them and I don't think he was necessarily the best one making the case. | ||
| But I believe, and I think you can be a person on the left and feel the same way, and I think many of them do, look at people like Glenn Greenwald, this concentration of wealth and power that we now have is the scariest thing in front of us. | ||
| You know, people say, oh, you know, Trump is a fascist. | ||
| Well, you know, Trump does make a bad Mussolini in his worst moments, but he actually doesn't do very much. | ||
| He's not an authoritarian in the way that I think authoritarianism will be imposed and is going to be imposed in the United States. | ||
| It's going to come from federal agencies. | ||
| It's going to come. | ||
| From corporations who are going to essentially monitor and try to control the opinions of their employees. | ||
| I was just doing a story right now for City Journal about the departure of so many of the tech companies out of California. | ||
| And one of the big problems they said is that the workforce at the tech companies is so progressive left. | ||
| that there are many things that the corporate executives have to endorse that they probably wouldn't favor at all. So there's a kind of authoritarian notion, which I think comes along with the enormous concentration of wealth and power in relatively few hands. I think, again, not a Trump fan myself, but I think we did see some progress towards a more egalitarian Blue collar workers did better. | ||
| I think that's now going to reverse. | ||
| Okay, I want to, and by the way, the guys in Denver, and we'll get this in the break, we don't have it now, but the new book is The Coming of Neo-Feudalism. | ||
| A warning of the global middle class. | ||
| Remember, when I went to Oxford and had to get into Oxford with an armored car to be able to talk to the students there at the Oxford Union, what I told them, I said, look, you're nothing but, you're no better than 19th century Russian serfs. | ||
| You're in better shape, you have more access to information, but you don't own anything and you're not going to own anything. | ||
| Yeah, we're going to put the cover, that's the book, we're going to put the cover of the book up, The Coming of Neo-Feudalism. | ||
| And here for the War of Impossible, remember, Joel Kochan is not a cheerleader for Donald Trump, right? | ||
| He says it's a very imperfect instrument. | ||
| But when you read Joel Kochan, you have one of the most intelligent thinkers in the world that understands what Trump represents and what he's done. | ||
| The thing I've always found amazing, Joel, Is that President Obama for being the most progressive guy in history, the neoliberal and neocon solution, but the neoliberal solution of the financial collapse was essentially to blow up the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve to save the asset classes of real estate and stocks and really begin before the pandemic. | ||
| To really begin this massive concentration of wealth during a most progressive presidency, this is when African-Americans, and this is what Ice Cube and others argue, that, hey, you know, our net worth dropped during that time. | ||
| One, we got wiped out because of the crimes of the banking and loan industry, the savings and loan industry, about, you know, all the bad loans they made that basically wiped out the African-American and Hispanic middle class from the equity in their homes. | ||
| But then the solution was worse than the problem because it really, it created the beginnings of neo-feudalism. | ||
| So can you, in the couple minutes we've got left in this segment, we want to hold you over. | ||
| Walk us through, when you say neo-feudalism, and you say a new rising authoritarianism that's going to be corporate driven, and really this combination which is lethal of state capitalism with an authoritarian system, and by the way folks, that is what the Chinese Communist Party is. | ||
| The CCP is a combination of state capitalism and authoritarianism, you know, totalitarianism. | ||
| Walk us through what you mean by this coming neo-feudalism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The way I see neo-feudalism is A, it's the rise and concentration of real power in a few hands, an aristocracy. | |
| And we, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, you know, you can make the list. | ||
| They're the aristocracy in America today. | ||
| They've essentially conquered The digital space in the way that the first generation of feudal lords conquered the space that had been left behind by the Roman Empire. | ||
| So, that's one group. | ||
| The other group is what I would call the clerisy. | ||
| The clerisy are the media, entertainment, certainly academia, where the opinions are pretty uniform, very much like you had in the Catholic Church. | ||
| If you want to have a discussion, for instance, about the preference for suburbs over core cities, which is a big thing among progressives, you're going to get dissent there about the way you would get it in a Catholic synod in the 12th century about the existence of God. | ||
| I mean, you know, other words, there is a sort of religious fervor. | ||
| It's irrational. | ||
| It's not religious in the old sense, But it's a secular religion. | ||
| The Greens, in particular, have a secular religion. | ||
| So these two classes are ascendant. | ||
| The third group, which I call the Yeomanry, which is really what the French would call the third estate, they've been in decline for a while. | ||
| They had a little bit of a resurgence the last few years, but that's being reversed. | ||
| The pandemic is wiping out small business all over the country, particularly in the urban centers. | ||
| And many of those people that used to be our middle class are now becoming what I call serfs. | ||
| And I think, you know, Steve, you made a very good point, which is even a lot of those Oxford students, they become college professors. | ||
| But in London today, you can't buy a house unless, you know, you're incredibly wealthy. | ||
| So the bottom line is more and more people are becoming serfs. | ||
| They have no chance of owning a business, no chance of owning a house. | ||
| And in many cases probably will be renters all their lives and and in many cases not have children, which of course many of the Greens would be happy with. | ||
| I notice in the World Economic Forum, the video they put out about the Great Reset, they start off with this whole concept. | ||
| The very first image you see is a young person under 30, a millennial, and the tagline underneath is, I won't own anything, but I'll be happy. | ||
| Joel, I want to ask you to hang over for the next segment, and I want to ask you the question, come back, we started as a revolutionary power. | ||
| You know, whatever you say about the Framers, they led a revolution against the massive, biggest empire in the world at the time, and a massive colonial power. | ||
| At the same time, simultaneously, the French Revolution took place. | ||
| It was a revolutionary age. | ||
| And I want to ask Joel Kocken, when we get back, what would our Framers, what were the founders, what were the people that led this revolution against central power and central control, what would they think of us today? | ||
| A nation bequeathed down from that, what would they think? | ||
| Joe Cockin from the book The Coming Neo-Feudalism is going to join us on the other side of the commercial break. | ||
| Later in the show we're going to go back to the plaza, we're going to go back to where the speaker's platform is, we're going to talk about all of it. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return with Joe Cockin from Los Angeles when we return on War Room Pandemic. | ||

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| If you want to know why you don't own anything, you're not going to own anything, if you want to understand why the middle class in this country, and not just that, throughout the Judeo-Christian West is being crushed, if you want to understand that this is not a conspiracy, it's actually a system, and you've got to deconstruct the system to understand it. | ||
| Then you've got to, you may not appreciate Joe Kotkin because he's not a Trump supporter. | ||
| But what he does support is the underlying power of the demographics, the economics, and the geopolitics that drives this movement. | ||
| I want to bring back now Joe Kotkin. | ||
| Joe, we were started as a revolutionary power. | ||
| The framers were, yes, they were men of property, they were men of education, some of the smartest lawyers in the world, but they were revolutionaries, and they understood that they put it all on the line, particularly when the Crown came back and said, hey, we're tired of your whining, we're tired of your bitching and moaning, that if you don't get with the program, right, you're going to be guilty of treason, and you're all going to hang. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They stood up. | ||
| Shortly thereafter, many of them were in back of, or not in back of, became very close to the revolutionaries in France. | ||
| So what were the revolutionary powers? | ||
| that drove the United States and drove France say about today on this massive concentration of power and for my audience you have to understand it's this concentration of power, this combination of state capitalism and authoritarianism that is going to be the struggle that we have as It's the struggle of Donald J. Trump. | ||
| It's what's trying to force Donald J. Trump from office. | ||
| And it's going to be the fight that the Trump movement and the believers of Donald Trump and what he stood for and what he will stand for in his second term are fighting for. | ||
| So, Joel, what would our revolutionary founders think of us today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think there would be some things I think that they would approve of. | |
| Certainly Franklin Adams, Hamilton for sure, which is obviously the abolition of slavery. | ||
| The fact that this is actually, despite the claims made in the media and academia, is an amazingly open and relatively successful multicultural society. | ||
| I think our problems are more on class than on race. | ||
| I think they and obviously they would be amazed by our technology. | ||
| They would probably say, well, you have so much access to information. | ||
| Why don't you use that more effectively? | ||
| That's they might have asked that where they would be very disappointed would be in the in the tremendous cynicism of the ruling class. | ||
| The fact that we now have these classes that are now entrenched and increasingly by generation. | ||
| I think they would be very shocked by the fact that so large a part of the U.S. | ||
| establishment is actually quite close to China, is very favorable to authoritarian regimes. | ||
| You know, like you, Steve, I spent a lot of time in East Asia, both China and Japan and Singapore. | ||
| And I have to say that China, which I think you could have 20 years ago been optimistic That it was going to evolve into something closer to what we have. | ||
| And what's happened in the last 20 years is we've become more like them. | ||
| And, and we're going to continue to grow more like them until we begin to realize that our tech corporations and our elite establishments are our version of, of the, of the Chinese Mandarins. | ||
| And that's, That's essentially what we're facing, and I think they would be very shocked by that. | ||
| The sort of the lack of belief, if you will, in the United States and what the United States is about, about the lack of belief in the basic principles, I think they would find that really shocking. | ||
| When you mention France, I think Robespierre might very much approve of what's going on in the universities today and in the media. | ||
| Joel, let me ask you, you know, a lot of our audience is a populist audience. | ||
| It's obviously very partisan to President Trump. | ||
| Let's say that, I think, coming in the show, you would not be considered like the next rock star guest we would have. | ||
| But what advice would you give the deplorables? | ||
| What advice would you give people that are populists and economic nationalists? | ||
| Particularly about these oligarchs. | ||
| Since the oligarchs really, they rose to power on the money of the institutional investors, which is all the money of the deplorables. | ||
| It's all their pension funds, it's all the insurance company money, it's all their savings. | ||
| They really provided the capital that allowed these oligarchs to rise. | ||
| What would you recommend to our audience they actually do to try to reverse this? | ||
| If they love their country and they want to go back to what that republic was, As it hurdles towards, and we're now obviously in a constitutional crisis and we'll probably be in a deeper crisis than that come the spring of this year. | ||
| What would you recommend just to working class men and women, middle class men and women, entrepreneurs, people that work with their hands, truck drivers, farmers, the audience of War Room. | ||
| What would you recommend? | ||
| What actions can they take and what would you recommend they actually do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think there are several things. | |
| One is that this populist movement is Not a, in quote, conservative movement. | ||
| It's not a Republican movement. | ||
| It's a movement that where many of the people, for instance, who supported Bernie Sanders or even Elizabeth Warren have common ground with people who supported President Trump. | ||
| And so I would try to reach out to some of those people, try to find issues of commonality. | ||
| The media wants you to hate each other, but you actually have a lot of things in common. | ||
| Um, that would be my biggest, um, uh, Recommendation and the other one is on a racial basis. | ||
| I mean, I thought one of the most interesting things in this election and I try not to be partisan because I just, you know, I tried to bring whatever gifts I have for analysis to the table here and I wanted it to be accessible for all sorts of people. | ||
| Fundamentally, what we're seeing is that there's a tremendous confluence of economic power In the Democratic Party, as it is today, and President Biden is basically has been financed by that. | ||
| And by the way, Kamala Harris, even more so. | ||
| So what I think you're going to have to say is, look, there is a large constituency of a people who are, who are progressives, but share your economic perspective, share your concerns about the oligarchs and share your concerns about the concentration of wealth and poverty. | ||
| And a very important point, which is President Trump did surprisingly well among Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians. | ||
| Many Asians here in California, for instance, found themselves, you know, I think they voted fairly conservative, even if they voted for President-elect Biden. | ||
| So I think there is an ability to reach out to ethnic minorities, but remember, By 2030, the majority of the American working class will be black, Hispanic or Asian. | ||
| So you can't have a working class party that's a white party. | ||
| That's a losing strategy. | ||
| But if you can bring in people from these other groups, and I can tell you, you know, I've lived in heavily Hispanic and Asian communities for many, many years. | ||
| Orange County is very heavily both. | ||
| They share a lot of the same values that you have. | ||
| And I think if we can figure out ways for you to talk, I mean, for instance, my book, which, you know, may in some senses be popular more on the right these days than on the left, which is odd in its own way. | ||
| What I find is that the audience for the book also includes a lot of people who are, you know, left, but not socially left, not intersectional left. | ||
| I think there's the basis for a broad coalition, you know, years, several years ago, Actually, about five years ago, I attended something with Jeff Bezos. | ||
| They asked me to speak at this meeting. | ||
| And I remember Jeff saying to me, well, I don't understand. | ||
| Why is there Bernie Sanders? | ||
| Why is there Donald Trump? | ||
| And I said, Jeff, get a mirror. | ||
| You know, I mean, it's obvious. | ||
| When you have people with so much money, and think about this, and the work I'm doing on California, this is very clear. | ||
| It's not just the companies. | ||
| It's the enormous foundations, whether it's the Gates Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. | ||
| We are going to be living with the public policy points of view of our oligarchs for the next 20 to 30 years. | ||
| The grassroots are out, you know, under-organized and underfunded. | ||
| And I would like to see a sort of united front in some ways between parts of the deplorables. | ||
| I mean, not those who are, I wouldn't include white nationalists as being remotely acceptable, but certainly part of the Trump base, part of the Sanders base, part of the Warren base, at least on certain issues. | ||
| We don't have to agree on everything, but we can agree on, for instance, Ways of regulating, breaking up, restraining the tech oligarchs. | ||
| I think there's a vast majority for that. | ||
| And there are going to be powerful interests, particularly in this new administration, as occurred under Obama, that are going to be serving the interests of the oligarchs on Wall Street. | ||
| That has to be made very clear. | ||
| And I think there's a broad coalition there. | ||
| Joel, how do people get access to your writings? | ||
| I know the book's obviously available on Amazon, The Coming Neophetalism, The Destruction of the Middle Class. | ||
| How do people get access to your book? | ||
| How do they get access to your writing? | ||
| How do they get access to social media? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I have a website, JoelKotkin.com. | |
| I have a Twitter account. | ||
| We have a Facebook page. | ||
| The best way is to probably go to my website, because everything that I write is on that site. | ||
| Joel, thank you very much for taking time away. | ||
| JoelKotkin.com, we'll put it up, make sure it's in the live stream. | ||
| I know our audience will appreciate that. | ||
| Joel, thank you so much for taking time away on a Saturday to join us here in the War Room. | ||
| Joel Kochan, the coming neo-feudalism. | ||
| If you want to understand why you're not going to own anything, and more importantly, your kids and grandkids are not going to own anything. | ||
| The coming of the oligarchs. | ||
| Not just a prophecy, a reality. | ||
| It's what needs to be dealt with now. | ||
| It's what's trying to drive Donald J. Trump from office. | ||
| You may not like Joel Kotkin's politics, but look at his thinking. | ||
| These are the forces that are aligned against the populist movement. | ||
| They're the forces that are looking to destroy Donald J. Trump. | ||
| We're going to turn in a second. | ||
| We're going to go back to the plaza. | ||
| We're going to see what the deplorables are up to. | ||
| And also, Citizens Free Press. | ||

| Okay, for everybody in the Livestream, we're going to go back to... It's time to get jacked up. | ||
| We're going to go back to Freedom Plaza. | ||
| We're going to start with Kylie Cramer. | ||
| She, along with her mom, has put this all together. | ||
| Kylie, can you hear us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Steve. | |
| Yes, I can hear you. | ||
| And I am upstairs. | ||
| I'm about to head down right now to open up the whole rally. | ||
| And we are so excited. | ||
| There are thousands of people here. | ||
| It is so electric. | ||
| I have my earphones in, but I'm upstairs and you can hear just the energy and excitement. | ||
| People are so fired up. | ||
| They love this president and they want to feel that their vote is counted. | ||
| They do not want to have these illegal ballots counted. | ||
| And so we have an incredible lineup today. | ||
| So I hope that everybody is either on their way or they're already down there. | ||
| Okay, everybody in the Mid-Atlantic states, everybody in Virginia, Maryland, anybody can get here. | ||
| There's still plenty of time. | ||
| We'll be going on all day. | ||
| There's going to be speakers down at Freedom Plaza from between now and we turn over to Real America's Voice at noon, the start of at noon, go all the way to almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon. | ||
| Kiley, what can people expect as far as the speakers go today? | ||
| March up Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue, to Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court, more activities there. | ||
| Kylie, what can people expect as far as the speakers go today? | ||
| Who's gonna be on the stand? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we have Michael Endelis. | |
| He's been an incredible partner with our bus tour leading up to this event. | ||
| And we have Vernon Jones from Georgia, state representative. | ||
| We have General Flynn that will be joining us. | ||
| Very many other people that will be coming. | ||
| And we also have many videos of congressmen and senators and some other high profile Hollywood people that were not able to attend but wanted to be a part of this. | ||
| So we're really excited. | ||
| You're not going to want to miss this. | ||
| There will be people from the campaign, the administration. | ||
| So you guys need to show up because this is exciting. | ||
| And we hope the president decides to do another little surprise like he did last time. | ||
| Basically, it's 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, as near as Freedom Plaza. | ||
| You'll be able to see the Jumbotrons, you'll be able to see the stage. | ||
| Just look for the Willard Hotel. | ||
| It's in that general area, the National Theater and the Willard Hotel. | ||
| You can't miss it. | ||
| Kylie, once again, I understand from your mom that the bus tour, and you broke the news the other day, but the bus tour is not going to stop. | ||
| What happens after today, where do you people head? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are so excited. | |
| We're going to be heading down to Georgia to help reelect Senator Kelly Loeffler and Senator David Perdue. | ||
| But we're also going to be making other stops. | ||
| We'll be heading out west because this isn't just about Georgia. | ||
| This is about the American people across the board. | ||
| And although we've been focused on these battleground states, every American deserves their voice to be heard. | ||
| So we'll be going to some places, maybe even California, as far west as California. | ||
| So our schedule will be released at trumpmarch.com, likely tomorrow or first thing Monday morning. | ||
| And we hope to see you along the trail, and hopefully I can give more updates as soon as we get through today's historic event today in DC. | ||
| By the way, you just have been incredible. | ||
| What you and your mom have done and the entire team there has just been amazing. | ||
| These rallies have been breathtaking and positive, empowering, powerful. | ||
| And the bus tour has just galvanized people throughout the country. | ||
| So we can't thank you enough. | ||
| The Trump movement can't thank you enough. | ||
| The deplorables can't thank you enough. | ||
| And War Room's just proud to be a small, small part of it. | ||
| So thank you guys very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we couldn't do it without you and War Room, Steve. | |
| So we are very grateful. | ||
| And I believe that there is some activity happening with a plane outside. | ||
| I'm just being told this. | ||
| So I don't know if the president is doing a flyover. | ||
| So we'll see later today what we can report on that. | ||
| But I do see something happening outside. | ||
| So this is very cool. | ||
| This is so exciting. | ||
| The president's watching. | ||
| He tweeted about us earlier. | ||
| And we can't thank you for being a part of this enough, Steve. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thanks, Kylie. | ||
| We'll get your social media up later. | ||
| Let's go down to Freedom Plaza. | ||
| Let's go down to what Kylie and her mom, Amy Kramer, and others have put together. | ||
| I want to go to Ben Burquam. | ||
| We've got Ben Burquam from Real America's Voice. | ||
| We've got Fog City Midge from The War Room and Amanda Head from Real America's Voice. | ||
| All of them are down there. | ||
| At Freedom Plaza, right there by the Willard Hotel, 14th and Pennsylvania. | ||
| If you're coming from the Mid-Atlantic states, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, anywhere, head on into Washington, D.C. | ||
| It's a massive march. | ||
| There's multiple speakers all over town on the mall down at Freedom Plaza. | ||
| They'll be up at the Supreme Court. | ||
| Ben, tell us, is the President doing a fly-by? | ||
| Is Marine One there? | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| Anticipating that Trump is going to make a stop by the city because there's so much going on. | ||
| There are tens of thousands of people already. | ||
| This entire Freedom Plaza area is packed now. | ||
| And you look down Pennsylvania Avenue, it's packed down there as well. | ||
| I hear it's filling up out in the mall, so I'll be out there in just a few minutes covering the Jericho March. | ||
| We'll have full coverage here as well at the March for Trump. | ||
| People are coming in from all over the place, Mitch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're waiting, anticipating what President Trump did last time, driving through. | ||
| We hear he's going to be making a stop somehow, whether it's in the air or on the ground. | ||
| We're not sure yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we're not sure. | |
| But I mean, regardless, it's an incredible day out here. | ||
| A lot of people who I've spoken to came to the first one. | ||
| And as soon as they heard that this one was happening, they had to make sure to come out and to attend this one as well. | ||
| And I've met people all the way from the West Coast who came out for this today. | ||
| So I think it's going to be an amazing turnout. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to be as big as last time because it's hard right now. | ||
| There's a lot of different events happening. | ||
| People are kind of spread out, but it's still massive. | ||
| Yeah, and what I'll say is these are not fair weather warriors. | ||
| These are people, this is the hardcore American patriots that aren't going to stop no matter what, Steve. | ||
| Midge, I want to go back to you then to Ben, but you made a bunch of videos and interviewed people in the streets as Ben did too, but you cut it into videos. | ||
| Do you see that same breadth of people? | ||
| What amazed me about what your video showed was the diversity of ethnicity, of race, religion, social class, all of it. | ||
| Do you see that same diversity today in the crowd? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, yes. | |
| It's the same diversity, it is the same enthusiasm, love of country. | ||
| You know, it's really, it's so beautiful and so unifying because you see that the people who came here, they're not divided by their differences, they're united by their love of country. | ||
| And I think the one thing I have noticed is if anything, it is more intense, it is more passionate. | ||
| The people who came out here today, Because I think they realize that this fight is so much crazier than we even thought. | ||
| Because a few weeks ago when the other protests happened, that's when we sort of knew a bit about the fraud. | ||
| Now we've seen the videos, people are coming on board, people maybe that weren't fully aware of the extent of what had happened after November 3rd. | ||
| Now there's so much more passion behind standing up against the fraud and to fight back and to stop the steal. | ||
| Ben, that's the point. | ||
| Ben, I want to ask you. | ||
| You've been out throughout the country. | ||
| You've been in Maricopa County. | ||
| You've been all over, following this in detail. | ||
| And you've been there in some of the dark days when a lot of the establishment was leaving. | ||
| A lot of the people, even in the Trump campaign and around Trump, are saying, just throw in the towel. | ||
| Do you believe, because Rudy Giuliani's gone around from Gettysburg to Arizona to Georgia and Michigan and had these hearings, that now that the court cases are starting to get a little bit of traction, maybe not the Supreme Court, but, you know, Wisconsin for six and eight hours yesterday. | ||
| Wisconsin at noon is going to be at the Supreme Court. | ||
| Do you believe that the intensity is picking up of people that now understand that not only do we have to fight for the country, but that we have a very good chance of actually closing on a victory for Donald Trump? | ||
| Yeah, I think for me it was Pennsylvania, as you mentioned, when we had that first hearing and then we went to Georgia and then Michigan and then yesterday Wisconsin. | ||
| You cannot watch that. | ||
| You cannot see the evidence that's out there and not realize The level of fraud, the level of corruption, that's why people are so sick when they hear the fake news mainstream media basically say there's nothing to see here. | ||
| It's so obvious that the people out here, they're the most mad at weak Republicans and the lying Democrats. | ||
| And so, you know, that's what this is about. | ||
| The people here are saying they're not going to stop fighting. | ||
| That's why they voted for President Trump in the first place. | ||
| That's why they love President Trump so much, because he was the first president that came along and was such a fighter. | ||
| And they demand that other Republicans stand up and fight back, or they're not going to be re-elected. | ||
| They're going to primary these Republicans. | ||
| Like Kemp in Georgia, I'm hearing that. | ||
| All of these places where you, you know, they gave them their support up front. | ||
| And they feel like they've been stabbed in the back. | ||
| They're looking for fighters that care about this country because they know that it's now or never. | ||
| This nation is on the verge. | ||
| We are on the tipping point. | ||
| We're at a paradigm shift. | ||
| We're either heading towards despotism or we're going to restore freedom. | ||
| And that's really what this fight is about. | ||
| Maggie, you're one of the top influencers in the Trump movement. | ||
| I know the influencers have had such an amazing run and had huge, really, power in driving this. | ||
| The tech oligarchs, we just had Joel Kakin on and said, hey, what they're trying to do is shut all this down. | ||
| Where are the influencers there today and what are you guys doing collectively to make sure that your voice is not suppressed by social media, that you can also start, continue to power and empower all these great patriots that are out in the streets today in Washington, D.C.? ? | ||
| And I'm going to relay that, we're having a little bit of audio issues, so Maggie, the question Steve's asking is in regards to influencers, what are you seeing out here as far as the influencers go, and what is your message to the people that are out there, to the influencers that are either involved or the people that want to get involved, as a social media influencer yourself? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I have to say, a lot of the influencers who were here at the first march are back. | |
| I've been following them on social media, seeing that they're here in D.C. | ||
| So, there's still massive support behind this movement among the people on social media, and I think you kind of are seeing the division, right? | ||
| Of people that maybe were not 100% on the Trump train, or who were just there for convenience, or, you know, to try to build up their following, versus the true patriots who are standing up, who are holding the line. | ||
| So, I mean, to me, I think the enthusiasm's still there online, and this is where people are... There are people, it's funny, that didn't really believe in the extent of the censorship, who now have come on board, who have come around and said, hey, I always thought you were a little crazy, Maggie, with some of the stuff you would say about the censorship, but I see it now. | ||
| Since the fraud has been exposed online and these videos have been circulated on social media, people are now realizing that the fight is so much bigger than they even thought. | ||
| So, I think if anything, all these things that are happening, the censorship against the show, happening with YouTube and with War Room on Twitter, as well as what's been happening to me, it's actually helping to wake more people up to what's really going on. | ||
| Ben, can you walk us through, we've got about a minute, minute and a half, can you walk us through Real America's Voice programming? | ||
| I know we're going live to you guys at the top of the hour. | ||
| Where are you going to be today and what can people expect in our audience to see on Real America's Voice? | ||
| We will be here at the Freedom Plaza. | ||
| Amanda Head will be covering from this location here. | ||
| Midge will be covering the crowd, getting out there, getting the interviews. | ||
| We'll be having a live feed of the speeches at this location, the March for Trump. | ||
| And then I will be out going back and forth between the Jericho March and this location. | ||
| We'll be live streaming the Jericho March as well, going from speaker to speaker, back and forth, and then covering the whole city. | ||
| So you get a bigger picture of just how large this event really is, or these events really are. | ||
| I really want to make sure people... Down with the CCP! | ||
|

|
Hang on one second. | |
| Down with the CCP! | ||
| And hi Steve Bannon! | ||

| You guys are real patriots. | ||
| You love this country. | ||
| You also love Chinese people. | ||
| We know we are very touched. | ||
| You care about ordinary Chinese. | ||
| What's your name? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stephanie. | |
| Thank you, Stephanie. | ||
| Stephanie, you've got a lot of love out here. | ||
| People all over keep coming out. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The Jericho March. | ||
| You've got Ben Berquam, the best reporter in the field today, Fox City Midge, Amanda Head, all of them. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| When we return, we've got Citizens Free Press, we've got Cain. | ||
| We're also going to give you more information of this massive rally that's going down. | ||
| From the Jericho March to the March for Trump, Washington, D.C. | ||
| is alive and on fire today. | ||
| Support of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in his massive victory on November 3rd. | ||
| We're going to return in just a moment. | ||

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| OK, welcome back. | ||
| You know, folks, sometimes you got to eat the spinach before you get to the ice cream and the ice cream sundae. | ||
| Now we're going to be, you know, we've been live The guys at Real America's Voice have now got to shift over so they can get ready for all the speakers and everything like that. | ||
| We want to make sure the entire audience here at War Room stays on the channel. | ||
| Just stay on YouTube or however you're on the Real America's Voice website. | ||
| You're going to see amazing coverage. | ||
| And they've got the best folks down there. | ||
| They've got Amanda Head, they've got Fog City Midge, and they have the one and only, the indefatigable, Ben Burquam. | ||
| So the entire posse, they're going to be at the Jericho Rally. | ||
| This Jericho Rally is amazing. | ||
| Archbishop Vigano, who you hear about, Liz, you and I, talking about all the time, he's going to be beamed in from Europe to talk about the Great Reset, to talk about the Party of Davos, to talk about the globalists. | ||
| And this is why we had Joe Cockin on earlier. | ||
| You've got to read and understand Joe Cockin. | ||
| Understand he's not a Trump guy, but what he describes is the future. | ||
| This neo-feudalism that's now settling down upon us. | ||
| The people at the vanguard that are going to destroy that. | ||
| Are the deplorables. | ||
| That's what this entire movement's about, and that's why you're the most important audience in the world. | ||
| I want to thank Stephanie, just some random Chinese-American that just popped into the shot in the last episode. | ||
| The power of that is she understands Lao-Bai Jing and the deplorables. | ||
| And yes, we have tremendous respect for the Chinese people. | ||
| They're great people. | ||
| When you get to know them, they're just incredible. | ||
| You see when they breathe the crisp air of freedom, In the West, they flourish and they thrive. | ||
| And that is why it's their enslavement that is the basics, the core of the business model of the Party of Davos. | ||
| The reason that workers throughout the world are serfs is because of the slave labor of China. | ||
| And remember what Joe Kocan said, it's now a combination of Wall Street oligarchs and tech oligarchs that are now hurtling towards, and I don't think it's communism, I think it's something quite different. | ||
| I think it's state capitalism combined with totalitarian and authoritarian power. | ||
| And that is leading to a new fascism. | ||
| And that's what we are. | ||
| We're a revolutionary power to defeat that, to make sure that it does not take root, deep root, sorry, taken root, but take deep root here in the United States of America, which has always been at the forefront and the vanguard of freedom for people throughout the world. | ||
| There are many, many, many things happening now. | ||
| You see the implosion of Fox and the emergence of all these different opportunities and sites. | ||
| Everything from Jack Posobiec and the guys at One America News to the great team over at Newsmax with Sean Spicer and Greg Kelly and the team, Chris Ruddy at Newsmax. | ||
| You've got Real America's voice that every day is getting more powerful and stronger. | ||
| It's just becoming incredible. | ||
| You've also, with the implosion of Drudge, you're starting to see all these sites pop up, whether it's National Pulse, Revolver News, you've got Populous Press, we're doing a little starter thing called Bannon's War Room. | ||
| But one of the granddaddy of them all, and one of the ones I just love going to, because I love going to The Stack. | ||
| And that is Citizens Free Press. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, the founder and the owner and the entrepreneur in back of it, it's a guy even crazier than I am. | ||
| Every 24 hours a day, I can reach out and hit a guy in a text and people say, Ben, and you're available all the time. | ||
| No, Cain is available all the time. | ||
| I want to bring in now Cain and hopefully we can get some shots of Real America's Voice. | ||
| Let's get some shots of the website and then I want to make sure we go to live shots down the plaza. | ||
| Kane, for the first time, I went to the Stack last night, and I saw at the top that you were having a fundraiser. | ||
| Tell me what you're doing on top of the Stack, and explain what the Stack is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, thanks for having me on, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Before I even get to that, let's talk about your Dragon Energy. | ||
| It's 624 this morning. | ||
| I'm sitting in this seat, still working, still working on the Stack, ready to go to sleep for two to three hours. | ||
| My phone buzzes. | ||
| It's Bannon. | ||
| He says, do you want to be on the show at 1030? | ||
| So there's, look, we're all just imitators of your Dragon Energy. | ||
| The staff, let's get to that. | ||
| The site, you know, it's a, it's a peek inside my tortured soul to a certain extent. | ||
| I run this 18 hours a day from 10 a.m. | ||
| to 4 a.m. | ||
| every morning. | ||
| The site is updating. | ||
| The fundraising you're talking about, look, I've done this every single day. | ||
| Today is the 1321st day that I've run this site alone. | ||
| And for the first time I'm taking donations. | ||
| I can't really say who I'm hiring, but there are some big names that are about to get involved with Citizen Free Press. | ||
| And a couple of names that Matt Drudge will notice, will know actually very well. | ||
| I'll give you 30 seconds more on the site. | ||
| So what I do all day long is just stack new links right on top of each other. | ||
| So not like Drudge, where you have to go search the three columns below. | ||
| You come to Citizen Free Press, you look at the top and you see the 10 or 15 news stories in the last hour since you were just there. | ||
| And it's, and you know, I'll throw it back to you with saying it's, and it's fantastic. | ||
| I think all the time when I'm writing headlines, wait, Bannon is going to be reading this. | ||
| Better make sure it's Bannon worthy. | ||
| That's why I love it. | ||
| I gotta tell you. | ||
| Walk to people, the news sites you go throughout the world, and the buried leads you get, and the way you curate it. | ||
| We got a couple, we got about two minutes. | ||
| Walk through your curation process. | ||
| How does Cain think, and how do you get the stack to be so relevant? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well look, I try to avoid too much, I try to avoid too many words at the top, and I don't like most headlines. | |
| I think that just about everything that's written By most media sources is milquetoast. | ||
| So I read every single story that I put up on the site, and my radar just goes up for any fact that I haven't seen before or haven't heard before. | ||
| So if I find that I highlight one of the things I'll do is even point people to a paragraph, and those links work amazingly well when I say, you know, bring up a headline and say paragraph four. | ||
| Those are some of the most popular links on the site. | ||
| So, look, I'm seeing 200 to 300 stories a day. | ||
| I'm giving them a couple of minutes each, and I make instantaneous decisions about what should go up. | ||
| Cain, walk through one more time. | ||
| On the stack, at the top now, you're having a donation. | ||
| A lot of guys in the engine room or the war room are blowing me up. | ||
| If you don't take Bitcoin now, when are you going to take Bitcoin? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I will take Bitcoin. | |
| In fact, within 30 minutes of my putting up the donation page yesterday, I had several people ask about a Bitcoin opportunity, you know, a Bitcoin alternative. | ||
| So something like that will go up later today or tomorrow morning. | ||
| I'll be pushing this drive basically to the end of December. | ||
| Hopefully raise enough money. | ||
| Look, give people a quick idea. | ||
| I did 88 million page views last month and there is no advertising on Citizen Free Press. | ||
| There never has been. | ||
| So we're giving up a substantial amount of revenue every month. | ||
| So we're trying to make it up with donations. | ||
| Eighty-eight million patrons. | ||
| Cain, we've got to bounce. | ||
| It's Citizens Free Press. | ||
| You've got to put it on your homepage. | ||
| You've got to go there every day. | ||
| Cain is a rock star, the new drudge. | ||
| You've got a lot of emerging sites. | ||
| Citizens Free Press is one of the best. | ||
| Go to all of them. | ||
| Populous Press, Revolver, all of them. | ||
| Support him. | ||
| Support him with your traffic. | ||
| And now, Cain, as he builds it out, support him with hitting with a few bucks. | ||
| Cain, you're an American patriot. |
