Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
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. | ||
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, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, is John Eastman, so Eastman's given a throwdown up there on the stage. | ||
I want to make sure staff continue to keep me up to date about who's coming up, who's not. | ||
John Eastman's up there. | ||
John Eastman, we've had him many times, he's the President's constitutional lawyer. | ||
He's given an absolutely fire-breathing speech. | ||
As I said, the order of battle here, you had the sons and daughters of the President earlier on, you had Madison Cawthorn, the young Congressman from From Mark Meadows' district. | ||
You had Vernon Jones, who announced on stage that he's flipping to the Republican Party. | ||
He's the African-American state senator from Georgia, who's a fire-breathing populist. | ||
The president's going to be up here. | ||
But we did tell you, today's just not a rally. | ||
The president's going to give you his opening argument. | ||
I think Eastman's up there, actually throwing down, and maybe we can go, if I can get in my ear whether he's still up there, we'll try to go live to him. | ||
I believe actually even the mayor, Rudy Giuliani, may actually speak. | ||
Also, before the President gets up here, and as a programming note, we are going to have the President of the United States' speech live. | ||
We're going to go to it on the war room pandemic and also Real America's Voice. | ||
I also want to tell people, they've been blowing up our phones today, C-SPAN at least will be covering this non-stop without commercial breaks. | ||
I'm sure the cable operators, One America's News and Newsmax will also be picking up. | ||
So it's time to, at one o'clock that starts. | ||
There's going to be some pretty controversial Pretty controversial things going on. | ||
In fact, what we can do, can we just go to their live shot over our voice and what we're doing? | ||
I'd just love to get the sense of the crowd and all that. | ||
That is historic, an absolutely historic occasion. | ||
The Ellipse, this is just south of the South Lawn, right near the Washington Monument and then near the banks of the Potomac. | ||
If you're in the mall, if you've seen that. | ||
That's the smallest part of it. | ||
That's the smallest part of the crowd. | ||
Yes, yes, yes. | ||
And that's packed. | ||
Yes. | ||
The crowd stretches miles and it's densely packed out there. | ||
I keep getting text messages from people all morning long. | ||
Hey, I'm out here. | ||
I can't move. | ||
Hey, I'm out here. | ||
This is insane. | ||
This is truly extraordinary, and I want people not to just recognize the history that they are seeing and living at the moment, but to all of you guys and girls out there who haven't been able to for whatever reason be a part of this, Make this your New Year's resolution, that this year is the year you will get engaged, that this year is the year you will go to these things, that this year is the year that you will become involved in taking your country back. | ||
Well, I also want to say though, but one of the reasons there's such enthusiasm, one of the reasons there's such a big crowd, People understand we are on the cusp of victory. | ||
This crowd last night that was out there for the pre-game show last night in Liberty Plaza all day and today, they're excited because you have been engaged. | ||
I realize a lot of people, because of economic situations, job situations, can't travel, maybe because they're a little bit older or a little bit younger. | ||
You are an active part of this. | ||
Remember, you are really the force multiplier. | ||
The reason that we're here today on the cusp of victory is very simple. | ||
The deplorables, the deplorables stood up and were counted, right? | ||
There was no question from the beginning. | ||
I realized a couple days after this, people are in shock, but they got up, dusted yourself off, had a couple of blunt, you know, rants about how we're going to get focused here, and we've got this, you've brought everything, we've converged on one point on the point of attack. | ||
And if people do their jobs today, if people are accountable, if people understand this moment in history we are in, it is quite straightforward what's going to happen. | ||
Exactly like the framers wanted, they want the state legislatures to do this in a legitimate process. | ||
That's what they want. | ||
It's quite evident what's got to happen. | ||
It's got to get kicked back to the state legislatures. | ||
And it's just not random. | ||
Remember, there's no conspiracy, but there are no coincidences. | ||
Why does Pennsylvania come in on the eve of this and send a letter from the most powerful politician in the legislature, Corman, to say, and really, and was it Kim Ward, that says, this is, you know... Kelly Ward. | ||
Kelly Ward's Arizona, I'm talking about Pennsylvania. | ||
But to say, we need this sent back to us, we need to look at this certification, and right now we're going to decertify the Biden electors. | ||
The same thing in Georgia, the same thing with Burt Jones and those guys we're talking about. | ||
As you know, Kelly Ward, the head of the RNC, but you've got these guys, Farnworth and others, Fincham's here, there's movement in Arizona, you're going to get the same thing tonight or tomorrow. | ||
Right? | ||
We also know this letter that we can get up later, 160 legislators from around the country who were on this call the other day. | ||
They had a two-hour call to give you the briefings. | ||
As people see the receipts, it's like the hard drive from hell. | ||
Jack, when people actually see the facts and they realize, well hold it, I was told this was baseless. | ||
I was told there was no evidence. | ||
I didn't understand what really the Constitution said. | ||
That's why we've had Eastman on the show, we've had Bill McGinley on the show, we've had Peter Navarro on the show, we've had Brian Kennedy on the show. | ||
We're not here to spin you or give you happy talk, you know, we're not, this is not a happy place. | ||
Right? | ||
But it's a serious place and it's a place for victory. | ||
People come here because they understand you are not just connected, you're inextricably linked with a moment in history. | ||
I've met so many people through my life who said, man, if I was in a revolution, I would be with Washington and Trenton. | ||
Right? | ||
Or I would be in the Civil War. | ||
I'd be at the Bloody Angle, right? | ||
Or in World War II, I would be at Guadalcanal, right? | ||
I would be there. | ||
I would be one of the people, well, you know, this is where, this is for your time in history, right? | ||
And I gotta tell you, this audience, and people remember, we haven't put a penny into marketing this show, right? | ||
And they've shut us down. | ||
We're permanently off Twitter. | ||
We're shut down on YouTube. | ||
unidentified
|
That's why it works. | |
Well, we're not going to stop. | ||
We're not going to stop. | ||
First of all, we can't stop. | ||
We can't stop because we're just continuing to put it out there. | ||
We're the first guys to call the pandemic. | ||
We're the first guys to alert years ago about the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
We're the first guys to talk about the Party of Davos. | ||
Why are we the first? | ||
Because what I try to do is make sure we get the best minds out there and think through what these issues are. | ||
Just present that information and let you come up with your own decisions, your own thing. | ||
And what we found out is people absolutely love that. | ||
Rahim Ghassan. | ||
I just, you know, given what an historic day it is, I think we have to mention our marketer-in-chief, Madeleine Pels, just for a second, because I found it amazing. | ||
Madeleine wanted to have a go at Jack Maxey yesterday about flubbing his lines, and that's okay. | ||
She did? | ||
Oh, she went for him! | ||
But, but... Actually, I believe what she said was... | ||
What I love about this show is how much Steve Bannon hates his COVID. | ||
So I go back... Here, I'm going to give Madeline some props. | ||
Hey Madeline, thanks for having my six, babe. | ||
Madeline, by the way, we love Madeline. | ||
Madeline is our head of marketing. | ||
She's the head of marketing. | ||
So I go back at her and she starts talking about media matters. | ||
She says, our small progressive non-profit and it's health care and it's, you know, talking about that. | ||
And I said, small progressive non-profit? | ||
This is an $11,000,000 a year organization. | ||
Now, they may not pay her like it's an $11,000,000 a year organization, in which case, Maddie, you've always got a place in the war room. | ||
Maddie, are you unionized? | ||
Let's unionize Media Matters. | ||
Media Matters pay Madeline more money. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Double her salary. | ||
But here's the thing, this is what it comes back to, when you say we haven't put a penny of marketing into this thing and you've got an 11 million dollar organisation, David Brock's organisation, whose job it is to literally listen to this show and blog about it, claiming to be a small progressive non-profit. | ||
Here's something I'd like to say when we look at that audience that's out there and they're about to hear President Trump and really we don't hear the screaming and the jumping and everything like that because people that I've spoken to in a certain way their hearts are kind of breaking right now. | ||
They're watching this honorable country based upon constitutional government and the rule of law and they see it cratering before their eyes and I think the Thought on everybody's mind is, will Mike Pence do his duty? | ||
Will Mike Pence stand up for the right and justice? | ||
And when you look back to George Washington, what does he say? | ||
And this is all we want. | ||
Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light. | ||
The American people just want to see the receipts. | ||
unidentified
|
Also, also, Steve, you know, this is a big audience of people. | |
This wouldn't be a bad time, two hours before Vice President Pence gets there, to humble themselves before God and pray for the Vice President. | ||
Amen. | ||
unidentified
|
He has a lot of dark forces around him. | |
Amen. | ||
And then this is a battle between light and darkness. | ||
The children of light and the forces of darkness. | ||
And also this is the Feast of the Epiphany, so we should have great revelations before us today. | ||
Listen, this is the other thing. | ||
This is about human agency. | ||
Remember, we talk about this all the time. | ||
What's going to happen today is going to happen. | ||
The question you have to ask yourself, have you pushed yourself as far as you possibly have pushed? | ||
Remember, we talked about commitment and the way the world works. | ||
Once you commit, fully commit, things happen. | ||
Books come in, you meet people you'll just see in your life. | ||
Commit. | ||
This audience, this show, but particularly this audience on a global basis has committed. | ||
That's the reason we are where we are today. | ||
But let me tell you, The sun is going to come up tomorrow. | ||
We're not defeated. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
This is a moment of victory. | ||
You have taken something. | ||
This is what we saw during the 2020 campaign, and I kept saying it, and I was there in 16. | ||
The beginnings of it were in the Tea Party, you could see it building, in 16 you could see it building, in 20 it was very different. | ||
There is a great awakening happening in this country, there's no doubt, and globally. | ||
There is two forces, the reset, the globalists, the party of Davos, the CCP, all of it, the elites, the globalist elites, and you've got this nationalistic populist, and Kerry pointed it out, there's our problem, the nationalistic populist movement on a global basis. | ||
Lao-Beijing in China, Gilets Jaunes in France, others throughout the world, in India, in Japan, in Australia, and here in the United States, the deplorables. | ||
This is a moment of victory. | ||
What's going to happen is going to happen. | ||
And yes, Brian Kennedy is correct. | ||
We need to pray, right? | ||
That we are the instruments of righteousness, right? | ||
You have to pray. | ||
And Mike Pence, hey. | ||
Look, I've been around and seen all this with Eastman and been in there and I can tell you, This is not even a close call. | ||
It's very, very straightforward. | ||
That's why I keep saying the mantra, you call the play and I run the play. | ||
Right? | ||
It's like the old Green Bay Power Sweep. | ||
It's very simple. | ||
Just one thing leads to another. | ||
Very logical. | ||
And a victory is affirmed. | ||
If that doesn't happen, it's still a victory. | ||
For this audience. | ||
And we're going to fight and continue to fight. | ||
Nobody's going to back off. | ||
Okay? | ||
Nobody's going to back off. | ||
Because it is a victory. | ||
The very process that we're here now. | ||
We need to, we need to make this happen today and it's no excuse if it doesn't happen. | ||
Don't get me wrong. | ||
And people will be held accountable. | ||
But I will tell you the other thing. | ||
President Trump could not, this guy amazes me. | ||
He could not have worked harder. | ||
He could not have put in more commitment. | ||
I mean, I don't know what more you want to ask of a guy. | ||
He put the entire government on his shoulders to make sure this happened. | ||
He put on the campaign. | ||
How many guys of any age, I consider myself One of the most robust people I've ever met, because I can go 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, as these guys would know, and just be so obnoxious, and we've got to grind, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit. | ||
I've never seen anything but President Trump. | ||
It is unbelievable, and he's only 70, I don't know, 6, 77 years old? | ||
He, in the last week, I mean, these are 20 hour days, 7 days a week, absolutely relentless. | ||
You know, we are where we are. | ||
If you look back and you say, is there anything we could have done differently? | ||
Is there anything? | ||
You can always make questions, but think about it. | ||
The state legislatures of Pennsylvania are sitting there and go, we've got to get this back. | ||
That was not a legal certification. | ||
In Georgia, the same thing. | ||
Arizona's about to do that. | ||
I think you're going to get it also from Wisconsin. | ||
So you've crowdsourced it, you've fought for it, you were a force multiplier. | ||
We're here today. | ||
Today is to watch and obviously be on social media. | ||
I'll be pushing out everything. | ||
Also, it's a clarifying moment. | ||
Do you want to continue just to pour money down a rat hole and just take it out in the yard and burn it of four hundred million dollars? | ||
Just thrown away down in Georgia with the non-stop TV ads. | ||
The TV ads make any difference anymore. | ||
You're totally woke and the other side's woke too. | ||
But they treat you like morons. | ||
They think these 30-second spots, oh, it's capitalism versus socialism, all that. | ||
It was just all a mess. | ||
All they had to do from the very beginning. | ||
And to know they're twinning out now, oh, we gotta get the consent worked out, all that. | ||
Tim Miller, who's no fan of mine and I'm no fan of his, has just tweeted out that Josh Holmes made 12 million dollars from this pack? | ||
Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
President United States hopefully will be up in the ellipse when we return on War Room Pandemic. | ||
unidentified
|
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | |
War Room. | ||
Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, can we get some polls from Eastman Speech? | ||
I want to now go to Phil Klein, Phil Klein of the Amistad Project, Thomas Moore, we've got Steve Cortez, and then we're going to have the President of the United States as soon as he walks on stage at this magnificent rally, or gathering, of the Deplorables Movement in Washington, D.C. | ||
So Phil, you've been with us since the beginning, it's a historic day, put in perspective what's going to happen, what should people be looking for? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I'm hopeful that what will happen is that the legislatures will be given the authority that they need and the time that they need to actually meet, debate, and decide on certification. | |
They have that constitutional responsibility. | ||
And since the election, they have not met as a body even to review the manner in which the election was conducted and to vote on certification. | ||
They should be allowed to. | ||
Yes, Senator, by the way, prior to your note, Senator Jake Corman from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, who wrote this tremendous letter last night, is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. | ||
So, the alternatives here is that the Vice President walks in and basically calls a recess and says, I'm going to send these back, these ex-states back, to these state legislatures to review their certification process, because I don't know if it was done in normal order, right? | ||
The other is just to say, okay, we're going to go through the states alphabetically, and I want to hear That, and then they're going to have two hours per debate, per chamber, or he'll call a unified chamber and we'll figure out what they try to do with the constitutionality of the Electoral Count Act. | ||
So what should people be looking for in that regard, Phil, as they review this today? | ||
I know McConnell's going to give a speech, there's going to be speeches at the beginning to set this up, and I think a lot of it's going to be trying to cut loose the deplorables movement and the President. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, well I think we need to listen to what the tone is and hopefully over time, I don't believe right now Steve, now it could change and I think you're absolutely right that we have achieved great success in raising awareness of this issue, but I don't think that there are the votes on the hill to decertify the election. | |
They need to put it back where the Constitution places that authority and give the legislature time. | ||
I believe the Vice President should leave and say they deserve this time. | ||
America deserves this time. | ||
In fact, in Michigan, you might recall, the governor of Michigan mobilized the state police to keep Republican legislators out of the Capitol building on December 14th when the electors were certified. | ||
That is not American. | ||
That is not a representative republic being exercised responsibly. | ||
And that is not consistent with our constitution. | ||
Give them time. | ||
And I hope that happens. | ||
I want to tell people, to put it in perspective, one of the reasons you're seeing these letters now is that Phil Kline was on these presentations over the weekend to these bodies of state legislators, and they were shocked by the Zuckerberg of it all. | ||
They said, this is the first time I'm hearing this. | ||
You know, we watched War Room Pandemic, but now we're having Phil Kline actually go through a legal briefing. | ||
Phil, how important, we've got about a minute left with you, how important do you think it is for these state legislators to kick it back so they can see all the interconnective tissue between the states What do you think about that in the Zuckerberg connection? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, you look at all six of these states, they had the same problems, and those problems occurred exactly where Zuckerberg money touched. | |
He ran a shadow government that dictated how they would run the election, and that plan was actually articulated in the book written by a man working for Zuckerberg in March of 2020, David Plouffe, who's Obama's former campaign manager. | ||
That's the roadmap they executed by running a shadow government through Zuckerberg. | ||
I can tell you, these state legislatures were, like, shocked, because Rudy and them did each... Remember, you drilled down on the overwhelming evidence of the voter fraud, the ballot fraud, the election fraud, and then Phil Klein comes in, you've got John Lott, you've got Peter Navarro, you have Eastman with the constitutionality of what the responsibility is, and they're teed up, and then the Klein comes in and gives the interconnective tissue This is why you're seeing the movement. | ||
What you've heard on World Pandemic, when it's presented in a logical fashion, guys go, you know what? | ||
This vote's going to last forever. | ||
We've got to make sure we did this the right way. | ||
And that's where we are, and that's what is the responsibility Authority! | ||
And he will be held accountable of the Vice President of the United States as President of the Senate to do his duty, to do his duty today. | ||
Phil Klein, how do people get to you during the day, Phil? | ||
You've done a magnificent job. | ||
How do people get access to you? | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks, Steve. | |
It's www.got-freedom.org. | ||
Got-freedom.org. | ||
And if you're interested in evidence, put a forward slash evidence after that, and you'll have thousands of pages of evidence and video to look at. | ||
Remember, so thank you Phil, as we put this together, remember Peter said, oh these guys are getting defeated in the quarter break, but every day was providing evidence, providing affidavits, laying into that. | ||
And so then when it's presented in full, you've got guys like Jake Corman, who's I think one of the most powerful politicians in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, when he sees this, he goes, you know what? | ||
I think we need a timeout. | ||
I think you need to kick this back to us, and I think we need to review this to make sure we're certifying. | ||
As we see it right now, I don't think we'd be certifying the Biden electors, right? | ||
This is why the whole world is hanging right now on this. | ||
And it's quite evident, it's quite evident, that the evidence is overwhelming. | ||
And the media has been part of this, baseless, no foundation. | ||
They've never gone back. | ||
Remember, I got my favorite New York Times from the call the other day. | ||
The New York Times, what is the tell? | ||
The tell is very clear, is that they don't want to, they never want to talk about any facts that President Trump puts out in that call. | ||
They just want to talk about their spin. | ||
I want to go now to Steve Cortez. | ||
Steve, we're awaiting the President of the United States in the ever-crack engine room of the War Room. | ||
He's going to give us a heads up, and Rahim, as the President keeps tweeting, I'm sure before he comes on stage you want to be brought to his feet. | ||
So, Cortes, you are the best guy, I think, that articulates the nationalistic populist agenda, the America First, all that. | ||
But here, and where we sit today, We're on the cusp of victory because of the deplorable to see this massive audience. | ||
And by the way, I know people want to see Cortez and myself on TV, but I want to cut back. | ||
I want to tell Denver, I want to cut back to that crowd. | ||
I've got to see that massive crowd as Cortez jumps in here. | ||
How important is it for people in Washington, D.C. | ||
to do their duty today to make sure that this is not a stolen election, that this is not an election that they counted every vote. | ||
They didn't count the legal and certifiable votes. | ||
Steve, it is impossible to exaggerate how consequential today is. | ||
This is really our national rendezvous with destiny because we face as a nation the starkest of choices right now. | ||
Republic or oligarchy, the rule of the few. | ||
Are we going to persist and thrive as the greatest republic in all of world history? | ||
Or are we going to devolve into an oligarchy, a place where the people do not decide the president, but instead several groups of incredibly powerful and corrupt actors who have globalist aims. | ||
Well, they decide who is the president of the United States. | ||
So this is an incredibly consequential day and perhaps days to come ahead. | ||
And because of that, I'm so thrilled to see just an absolute sea of patriots there on the mall in Washington, D.C., demanding that our leaders, both in state capitals as well as in our national capital, do their duty and make sure that this republic persists and that only legal votes are counted. | ||
If that is the case, we know because of the compelling statistical case, as well as the important constitutional requirements, we know that Donald Trump is the only legitimate president who can be sworn in on January 20th at high noon. | ||
I believe we've got breaking news. | ||
unidentified
|
I think we're moments away from the President of the United States getting up there. | |
Let's get a heads up from the production team. | ||
As soon as the President's up there live, I want the audio to come straight in over us. | ||
That'll be our cue to get out. | ||
Steve, I think it's a great way to say it. | ||
How do you recommend we've got, you know, Tens of thousands of people now on the show watching this live. | ||
What would be your recommendation? | ||
During the day, we know that it's going to go one way or the other. | ||
It's either going to go to Pence doing his duty, the placement, as you say, you're a football coach, we called the play, now run the play, right? | ||
Or it may devolve into something else, and we're going to be here for every element of that. | ||
What would you tell the deplorables today to think about, what to do, and how to act? | ||
You know, I think the most important thing, Steve, is to not give up on pressuring the state legislatures because that is properly where this should be adjudicated. | ||
Yes, courts of law are important. | ||
We've had a number of losses in courts, a number of courts, really I shouldn't even say losses, courts who refuse to do their duty, their proper duty. | ||
And even listen to evidence in courtrooms. | ||
But really, it's not the obligation of courts. | ||
It is constitutionally the state legislatures who need to oversee this process. | ||
Now, we have five of the six most contested states, Republican legislatures, who on the whole have failed so far to do their duty. | ||
But let's also give credit where it's due. | ||
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, thankfully, better late than never, sent this incredibly important letter to the United States Congress saying, according to the majority leader, That this vote from Pennsylvania cannot be certified. | ||
And so what I would implore the deplorables out there to do, and all patriots in America, is to continue to pressure the legislatures. | ||
Because if it does, in fact, get kicked back to them, and I believe that is the most plausible and most correct scenario, then if we exert enough pressure on these legislatures, they can look at the heavily tainted votes in their states. | ||
They can look at the massive statistical anomalies at these significant constitutional violations, particularly of the 14th Amendment, where you cannot lawfully create two different classes of voters, as was done in many of these states, perhaps most egregiously so in Pennsylvania. If these legislatures take an honest look at their votes. | ||
They are going to say, we cannot certify these. | ||
We certainly cannot certify these in favor of Biden. | ||
Perhaps we can't switch them to Trump. | ||
But in that case, the Constitution, our founders thankfully gave us the roadmap for what happens next. | ||
If they cannot certify at all and nobody gets to a majority, we then go to a contingent election. | ||
And by the way, speaking of the founders, you know, I just published an op-ed in Rahim's excellent site, National Pulse. | ||
And on this very point, are we going to be a republic or an oligarchy? | ||
And I cite the historical precedent here of Benjamin Franklin. | ||
When he was leaving the Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was asked what kind of government the framers had provided for the new nation. | ||
And he reportedly responded, a republic, if you can keep it. | ||
Now, the reason he added that qualifier is because he, like all the founders of our country, he was steeped in the history and traditions and precepts of the classical world. | ||
And he knew that representative government can decline into oligarchy and eventually dictatorship, as happened in the Roman Empire. | ||
So, I believe, unfortunately, our country faces this very fulcrum moment right now. | ||
And let me be specific about who this oligarchy is. | ||
I think there are three powerful groups primarily who comprise... | ||
Steve, can you hang on one second? | ||
We'll bring you back after the break. | ||
Just hang on for one second. | ||
Steve Cortez. | ||
Take a short commercial break. | ||
We're waiting for the President of the United States. | ||
We also have Jake Corman, the senator, the president pro tem of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, next on War Room Pandemic. | ||
unidentified
|
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. | ||
Okay, welcome back to the War Room. | ||
We're waiting for the President of the United States to take the stage, but we have one of the most important political figures in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and last night he sent a historic letter. | ||
It is Senator Jay Corman, the President Pro Tem of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
Senator Corman, tell us about your letter, and tell us what you want Vice President Pence to do, and what you need to have done today to make sure that this was done in a proper manner. | ||
unidentified
|
Our letter was to the congressional delegation of Pennsylvania and to the U.S. | |
Senate to say that because of the actions of our Secretary of State, because of the actions of our Supreme Court, that was usurping our legislative process, our legislative duties and authorities given to us by the Constitution in the election process, That we just reconvened in the Senate yesterday. | ||
I set up a bipartisan commission to review the election. | ||
A commission that we've asked for an independent, on numerous occasions, independent commission to review, which has been rejected. | ||
So I established one in the Senate and we will ask the delegation to pause on certifying Pennsylvania's election results until we can review what happened here in Pennsylvania. | ||
So it was a unique election. | ||
We had a Secretary of State that was knocking down every security measure that we have in place for our elections. | ||
And so we wanted to ask them to give us a pause so that we can spend a few days reviewing the election process and how it unfolded. | ||
Senator Cormann, your letter is a very tightly argued letter. | ||
What would happen today if the Vice President did not call a timeout and revert back to you, and we know George is coming in with the same letter, or he's coming with the same letter. | ||
Tell me what happens. | ||
What happens in Pennsylvania? | ||
You've had a very tightly argued, and we'll get the letter up as soon as you're off. | ||
We had it up last night when it broke. | ||
This letter, you lay out the case, but what happens the day if for whatever reason the Vice President doesn't do that, it gets argued on the floor of the House and the Senate and then gets voted as okay? | ||
Where does that leave the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, we're all breaking new ground here. | |
This is certainly an election process that is unprecedented. | ||
So, you know, we're just asking for a timeout. | ||
Obviously, it's bringing in days not until January 20th. | ||
Give us a few days to review what happened here in Pennsylvania. | ||
You know, what the impact of the Secretary of State was on this election, what the impact of the Supreme Court interfering in this election, and voiding statute that was passed by legislature and signed by the governor. | ||
So, you know, we can only ask. | ||
Obviously, it's now in the hands of Congress, and we'll react to whatever they do today. | ||
Senator Corman, I want to thank you. | ||
How can people keep up with you during the day? | ||
Do you have social media? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we have Twitter, Facebook, anyone can check it out as we move on through the day. | |
Senator Corman, thank you. | ||
A brilliant letter. | ||
Really appreciate it. | ||
unidentified
|
Look forward to talking to you in the future. | |
Take care. | ||
Senator Jay Corman, he's really the head of the Senate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
This letter, I'm telling you, I think, and Brian, Raheem, jump in here, we're going to get Cortez, I don't know how this puts Pence in an untenable, I mean, the situation is, to me, I don't know how a state Particularly, and here's the power of Corman. | ||
Corman is not a fire breather, right? | ||
He wasn't on this on 4th. | ||
He took his time and had the evidence brought out, and this thing on Saturday, there was a three-hour presentation, they saw the stuff, and he finally came to the conclusion, hey, I've reviewed everything, and he's not some super Trump partisan, you know? | ||
I would say he's probably more from the conservative but the moderate wing of that. | ||
This is why it's so powerful. | ||
unidentified
|
It's constitutional, too. | |
It's constitutional. | ||
unidentified
|
The just powers of the Constitution are derived from the consent of the governed. | |
We have a lot of people who did not consent for all the voter fraud that went on, who were denied their right to any kind of redress in front of the legislatures, which went out of session. | ||
Governors wouldn't call them back. | ||
Courts wouldn't hear this. | ||
And so this is a logical next step to send it back at this inflection point to try to fix it. | ||
Well, somebody said in the live stream, I thought it was kind of brilliant in its simplicity, said the founders prepared us for this. | ||
It's called the Constitution. | ||
Now what the founders did not prepare for, because they couldn't prepare for it, was the courage, the honor, and the obligation to do their duty of the people who are going to be tasked with lifting up that constitutional process that is the problem so all of our listeners literally Take a knee, right? | ||
Say an Ave for Vice President Pence today to see that he has his courage and does his duty. | ||
This is really what it comes down to. | ||
You do need prayer and everything like this, but I tell you what, when you have Eastman, you walk through this, and you now have Corman sending this, and let's get the letter up if we can. | ||
Corman lays out this, and he's not a fire breather. | ||
He lays out, and I think it's Kim Ward is the other individual, other state senator that was working non-stop on this. | ||
That you see that now, I don't know how Pence makes any other choice but this. | ||
This is what the framers set up, and you have Georgia, you're going to have Arizona by today, and this is one that's not going to heal. | ||
There's nothing locked in stone on January 6th. | ||
Guess what? | ||
We're going to have January 7th tomorrow. | ||
We've got to sort this out. | ||
This has got to be sorted. | ||
I want to bring Steve Cortez in, and I've got to tell you, can we tell we've got field producers out at the rally. | ||
I want to try to get Rudy and Eastman both on to join the show, because they want to talk to this audience. | ||
They've both just given speeches up there on the main stage. | ||
They've both contacted our producers and went right over to our producer, Alexander Priate, is there near the stage and said, hey, we want to call into the boardroom. | ||
Take our phones and call in, so we're going to try to pick up Eastman and Rudy, because you know what? | ||
They want to talk to this audience. | ||
They want to make sure that this audience understands how important it is for them to remain engaged, particularly during the day-to-day. | ||
Steve Cortes, do we still have Cortes? | ||
Can I bring Steve Cortez back in? | ||
Steve, you're very familiar with Pennsylvania. | ||
I know you've got property there. | ||
You're very familiar with it. | ||
How important it is for Corman, who is one of the foundational members of the establishment of Pennsylvania, to actually come to this moment where he would send a letter that he knew would trigger a bunch of events and be used If things don't play out that were done constitutionally, we'll always be out there and we'll cause another, you know, another fracas. | ||
Walk us through your perspective of this. | ||
Oh, listen, it's incredibly important. | ||
Pennsylvania, of course, you know, the keystone state stepping up again. | ||
It's later than most of us would have preferred, but better late than never to get this letter is incredibly important. | ||
It gives impetus and motivation to the members of Congress as well as to Vice President Pence. | ||
To do his duty and say, look, I'm hearing from Harrisburg, I'm hearing from the states themselves that this vote cannot be certified, and it should not be certified for several reasons. | ||
Number one, it was unconstitutional in Pennsylvania. | ||
What I mean by that is they broke both their own state constitution, but more importantly, for those of us who don't live in Pennsylvania, for the rest of America, is they broke the U.S. | ||
Constitution because they created two classes of voters. | ||
And what I mean by that, and that violates the 14th Amendment, but what I mean by that specifically, Is that game day voters who leaned overwhelmingly to President Trump, people who showed up on election day, were subject to stringent verification, as well they should be. | ||
They presented themselves, they presented identification, as well as signatures to prove that they were valid voters and that their vote should count. | ||
In contrast, the millions of people who voted by mail in all of these states, including in Pennsylvania, which broke Pennsylvania constitutional precepts, but regardless, the people who voted by mail, we know through statistical analysis, there was literally almost a complete void of vetting of those votes. | ||
The rejection rate in Pennsylvania declined, even though the number of ballots soared, the rejection rate, the percentage declined all the way to 0.03. | ||
That was one-thirtieth the level in Pennsylvania that it had been in 2016, which tells us that essentially there was no validation, there was no verification of mailed-in ballots. | ||
This is very much by design. | ||
Peter Navarro quite intelligently talks about this in part two of his report, The Art of the Steal, that it was a two-pronged strategy. | ||
Number one, inundate the system with mailed-in ballots, many of which are disallowed and not valid. | ||
But number two, make sure that the vetting process ceases to function in these states. | ||
That was very, very evident by the numbers, not my opinion. | ||
By the numbers in Pennsylvania. | ||
So it's critical for Pennsylvania to take a real look, their legislature to do their duty and take a real look at that vote. | ||
And I think the only logical and valid conclusion they will come to is that it is a tainted vote and it is so tainted that it cannot in fact be counted toward the electoral college. | ||
Steve, we've got to jump. | ||
Just hang with us. | ||
We're going to go live now to the rally on the Ellipse. | ||
The President of the United States is now, I think, rolling up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's the motorcade rolling up. | |
That's the beast rolling up, as you see right there, right up to the stage. | ||
The White House staff are out there already. | ||
That means that the President of the United States is absolutely imminent on stage at the Ellipse, Steve. | ||
Yeah, if we can get Denver, we can take the live feed from there. | ||
We want to hear the music, we want to hear the cheering. | ||
Just let's get Denver going live. | ||
We don't need... And we're going to keep our mics open. | ||
We'll be giving commentary analysis. | ||
We've got three producers. | ||
We've got Alexander Priate, our senior producer, is down there. | ||
We've got Captain Maureen Bannon. | ||
We've got Fog City Midge. | ||
We've got Brian Berquam from Real America's Voice, an entire team down there. | ||
We've also got a live feed from the camera. | ||
I know G-News and G-TV, I think, are taking the feed also. | ||
This is quite historic. | ||
At one o'clock on Capitol Hill, shipped up to Capitol Hill, but the President of the United States, he is going to come today. | ||
And what our audience should be looking for, and we'll be adding commentary and context, He is going to lay out his opening argument. | ||
This is not going to be a typical rally speech. | ||
This is why, the lead up to this, he had John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, his two lawyers, who we've had on here many, many, many times. | ||
They were actually, and I think this is a hat tip, I think this is a hat tip, I think this is a hat tip to our audience, is that they wanted to, as soon as they got off stage, they contacted one right over to our producers and said, hey, we want to call in to the War Room Show if we can. | ||
We couldn't quite hook it up as it's kind of difficult down there. | ||
This music choice, I will tell you, is a direct music choice of the 45th President of the United States. | ||
I think he gets some updates from people. | ||
Historically, we've used this in 2016. | ||
I think we've updated it. | ||
Part of the update, I think, is people have called and said, you can't use my music. | ||
But by the way, thousands call and say, we want our music inserted into it. | ||
But the President's got his own unique taste. | ||
unidentified
|
It's very Boomer. | |
It's very Boomer. | ||
unidentified
|
I would like to hear more of the traditional stuff, but I ran that up the flagpole. | |
Nobody saluted. | ||
So, I want to set the context. | ||
It's a very unique situation. | ||
What Kylie Cramer and Kylie and her mom were the ones that put on this rally today, and by the way, the crowd is absolutely stunningly massive, and they've been there since 6 o'clock in the morning, and it's cold in Washington, D.C. | ||
Oh, they're playing my favorite from the Village People. | ||
Is it much? | ||
Is it Village People? | ||
unidentified
|
You have a favorite from the Village People? | |
Yeah, no, no, no. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Maybe that came across wrong. | ||
So this was chosen, this space, if you're familiar with Washington, you've got the South Lawn, back of the South Portico of the White House. | ||
Then you've got a little business right outside there where you've got the gates now. | ||
And now you have the ellipse really south of that. | ||
It's a stunning view as they've set the camera up. | ||
This has not been done. | ||
This venue, according to Conley Kramer, has not been used since the 19th century. | ||
The President of the United States is going to arrive. | ||
He's already had his two lawyers tee up. | ||
Have we got any quotes from the lawyers? | ||
You can jump in here, guys. | ||
He's going to give, and look, it's Trump, so you're going to get some rally, right? | ||
You're going to get a couple of heckles too, I'm sure. | ||
But, the key part to watch, I think you're going to see a more developed, from the back end of the rally in Dalton, Georgia the other night, with Kelly Loeffler and Senator Perdue, where the President really went through and made the case. | ||
And he makes the case in two areas. | ||
What his lawyer laid out, Eastman and Rudy. | ||
One is the illegality of how these electors were actually selected at the end and the slates put forward. | ||
And you just heard, this didn't come from War Room Pandemic. | ||
It's not from TheDonald.net or from HashtagWarRoomPandemic or from the livestream. | ||
Jake Corman One of the most powerful politicians, and the most powerful Republican politician, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, last night, with, I think it's Kim Ward and others, sent a tightly argued, why, hey, we need this back. | ||
And we're gonna need a couple days. | ||
We can't do this in a day or two. | ||
You need to give it, you need to, you need to, just give us a time out. | ||
You need to not certify today, you need to push this back to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and you need us, we need to review this amongst ourselves because we are now convinced there were enough, enough uncertainties about potential fraud, of voter fraud, and ballot fraud, and election fraud, and the whole process of how this went down. | ||
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is where the Declaration of Independence was negotiated and signed. | ||
It's where the Constitution was negotiated and signed. | ||
It's the launching point of the Battle of Trenton. | ||
It's Gettysburg. | ||
It's Valley Forge. | ||
It's a coin flip with my beloved Commonwealth of Virginia as the most important state in this country. | ||
And what it has done in the battlefields of Normandy and throughout the world, in Vietnam, all these kids from Western, you know, the classic kid from Western Pennsylvania, where Sean Parnell, an American patriot, American hero, the young captain, when he was a captain, who led the longest combat patrol in the entire 20 years of the Afghan War, what, 415 days, I think it was, in eastern Afghanistan, was the Kandahar Valley, the actual cauldron Of that fight. | ||
He told us he had 8 KIAs, I think 40 dead, and 8 suicides when he got back. | ||
Sean Parnell is sitting there and going, hey, there's 63,000 difference between registered voters and ballots off of the Secretary of State's system. | ||
Corman does not eat the breakfast of champions or the bad hombres every day. | ||
This is a guy who is kind of a moderate Republican. | ||
He is now put forward with other state senators, a tightly argued, says, we have to have this back. | ||
I don't know how the vice president says, well, I got this kind of process here about a federal statute. | ||
Let's be very blunt about this. | ||
The Electoral Count Act of 1887 came off a fiasco in trying to bring the curtain down on the Civil War, right? | ||
The curtain down on the Civil War in 1876, by the way, the first centennial, the first in a hundred years of our nation's history from the Declaration. | ||
The famous story is that Sherman and And Grant were up there on July 4th and just before they'd gotten the telegram, they'd gotten a telegram I think the night before that Custer had been, that the 7th Cavalry had been wiped out on the battlefield up there in the plains. | ||
And of course Sherman and Sheridan were very close to Custer. | ||
Custer had come out of West Point and was a Brigadier General I think in 24, 2 years was a Brigadier General? | ||
And they got that. | ||
That thing was such a fiasco that year. | ||
Such a fiasco in the election. | ||
Why? | ||
Passions were hot. | ||
Civil War still wasn't over. | ||
The kinetic part of it, the kinetic part of it was, and that led to, and by the way, it took them another 11 years of fighting, and they at the time, and this is what Eastman brings up, Eastman brings up, they understood at the time, and my August colleague from the Claremont should jump in here. | ||
They understood at the time they should have gone back and done amendments to the Constitution, but they didn't have the votes, so they did a federal statute. | ||
It's why people now should go back and watch the movie Lincoln, whatever you think of Spielberg in the movie Lincoln. | ||
The reason is they knew at the time the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order. | ||
It's what President Trump has used. | ||
And what he needs is an executive, Emancipation Proclamation is simply an executive order. | ||
And they understood they needed to amend the Constitution about slavery and about what the purpose of this war was about. | ||
Later, 11 years later, to bring down the curtain, and they couldn't even do it at the time. | ||
The country was still so divided. | ||
And that's why they got to a federal statute. | ||
And here we are 150 years later, after all the custom and tradition of using it for 150 years. | ||
Where you've got to sit down and in the cauldron of where we are of Steve Cortez's oligarchy versus a republic. | ||
And listen, remember, what were the framers look back in classical history? | ||
They understood the forces and the powers and what happened to Republican Rome. | ||
That was their model. | ||
And they looked and they saw what happened to the Roman Republic and why the Roman Republic fell and became an oligarchy. | ||
Why the Roman Republic fell and became an oligarchy. | ||
And they were constantly concerned about that. | ||
Constantly concerned about that. | ||
And now, they had enough foresight. | ||
That's where we are today. | ||
Cortez lays it out. | ||
And that's what the decision is today. | ||
Are we going to be an oligarchy? | ||
Are we going to surrender to the oligarchy today? | ||
Or are we going to stand up as a republic? | ||
unidentified
|
And we can do that without compromising the Constitution. | |
No, we empower the Constitution. | ||
We go back to the Constitution. | ||
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
We're defending the Constitution. | ||
unidentified
|
Going back to the Constitution. | |
So when we talk about having Vice President Pence suggest that, or direct, that we send this back to the states, To get these certifications correct? | ||
unidentified
|
We're not doing anything extra-constitutional. | |
We're defending the Constitution. | ||
What's going to happen immediately, there'll be a TRO. | ||
There'll be a TRO. | ||
And we're going to go argue this in front of the Supreme Court. | ||
The Supreme Court will be forced to take this one. | ||
And what they're going to have to do is, when Pence does that, you should understand, if Pence does that, what's going to happen, they're going to go through alphabetically. | ||
When it comes to Arizona, and it'll be in the first 15 minutes after they do the speeches and lay out the speeches, but in the first 15 minutes of the roll call, when Pence goes to Arizona and wants to set Arizona aside, and not to debate it between both houses, When he wants to set it aside, they're going to realize, well hold it, that's not the Electoral Control Act of 1877. | ||
That act says you split into two and you go do your two hours and come back. | ||
They're going to understand that, where's he going with this? | ||
Right? | ||
Where's he going with this? | ||
Is he just going to say, hey I don't want to debate them all at the end of the day and I want to kick these three back to the states that have notified me that it's not it? | ||
Of all the hiding the Roberts Court has done, on this one they can't, because let's cut to the heart of it. | ||
The heart of it is very simply, is the Vice President, by the way, I want to know as soon as President, and by the way, this is President Trump, normally likes the drama of the big open, right? | ||
So we're going to get that. | ||
You hear the music, and if you've never been to a rally, because I'm already getting some, my phone's blowing up with that, people are questioning the choices of our 45th President and some of his beloved music. | ||
You know, we're talking about how the founders were well acquainted with the ancients. | ||
Gibbon's Rise and Decline of the Roman Empire was published in 1776. | ||
Now, it became an instant hit. | ||
John Adams got a copy in early 1777. | ||
All of the founders were well acquainted with this book. | ||
And what was Gibbon's thesis at the end? | ||
It was the loss of civic virtue that collapsed the Roman Republic. | ||
I mean, there's the old quip of Caligula had his horse and we have our asses. | ||
But really, What we have to think about right now is civic virtue. | ||
That is what is needed right now. | ||
Civic virtue from Pence all the way down to the dogcat. | ||
unidentified
|
By the way, if Pence doesn't exercise that, the American people will. | |
Today, I think you will see the continuation of the Republican Party or the death of the Republican Party. | ||
Pure and simple. | ||
Well, what will rise is a real Republican Party that wants to defend this republic. | ||
Remember, we are very much, in 1776, by the way, two books that year. | ||
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. | ||
Also, The Wealth of Nations, correct? | ||
Not a bad year. | ||
You can read those books today, and they help describe, and I tell people, if you want to understand and start thinking over the other side of the hill like we try to do, just go get those two. | ||
Get an abridged version of Decline and Fall, but read all of Wealth and Nations, and that gives you a better understanding of the world in the 21st century than 90% of the garbage that you would read. | ||
Sadly, only academics really read these books. | ||
They're both quite thick. | ||
I've forced my way through them both. | ||
Well, no, Decline and Fall, I don't think you can put down. | ||
It's like seeing a real Housewives of Beverly Hills. | ||
unidentified
|
It's why Steve is up 20 hours a day. | |
No, no, no, no, but this one you can't put down. | ||
Okay. | ||
So here's what I think is happening right now for the people who are watching and growing impatient. | ||
I think the President is actually waiting for War Room to end as a show because he doesn't want to cut into the War Room. | ||
Now listen, this is what our producers... By the way, you should know that the President sees the War Room as he sees it. | ||
He can't all the time watch between 10 and noon, but he sees it. | ||
I would say that he is a fan, right? | ||
He's a fan because he loves the audience. | ||
Just programming note. | ||
You know, the stream will carry on, we'll carry the entire thing, so don't worry. | ||
Yeah, you're not going to miss a second of it. | ||
And by the way, the President will finish. | ||
I also think, knowing the President, he wants to time his address so it absolutely ends when it gets kicked to Capitol Hill. | ||
The President is quite theatrical. | ||
He knows the power of political drama and political theatre. | ||
And this is why this is such an important day. | ||
We are so honored, right? | ||
We're so honored to be able to bring this to you. | ||
We told you that night of the 12 hour, 10 hour broadcast, that hey, this ain't over yet. | ||
Raheem Kassam back in July said the Transition Integrity Project, we said this was coming, that to affirm this would be, that Trump would win a massive landslide that night and they would try to steal it. | ||
It all came to pass as we laid out for you. | ||
I remember you know I did that big piece on mail-in ballots as well back in September and it's crazy I just but while we wait I just just really quickly two things and one goes back to what you guys were talking about and it's the old quote I always bring up about hope right and and it was it was Was it St. | ||
Francis? | ||
No, St. | ||
Augustine. | ||
St. | ||
Augustine, right? | ||
Hope has two beautiful daughters. | ||
Their names are Anger and Courage. | ||
Anger at the way things are and courage to see that they do not remain as they are. | ||
I think that is a mantra we can all carry with us. | ||
Can you repeat that? | ||
He's the father of the church and wrote the City of God, which is one of the most foundational documents. | ||
And also, when you say that, North African, right? | ||
Probably from Tunisia, right? | ||
In modern Tunisia. | ||
When people say, oh, the Christian Church is a bunch of old white males, then that would be incorrect, right? | ||
What did he say? | ||
Hope has two beautiful daughters. | ||
Their names are Anger and Courage. | ||
Anger at the way things are and courage to see that they do not remain as they are. | ||
Well, Hope's daughters every day show up in the War Room livestream, right? | ||
Because you've got plenty of anger, and you've got plenty of courage. | ||
The other thing I just wanted to make mention is just, I was thinking about it this morning when I woke up, and I'm hearing all of the limitations over Georgia, and you see the CNN chyrons of the Georgia Republican establishment already blaming the President for everything, saying, he lost the Senate, he lost the House, he lost the White House, it's all, you know, and it took me back to 2015 when I was standing on the Edge of the Cliffs at the Botany Bay in the southeast of England with Nigel Farage having Nigel not won his seat in that 2015 election. | ||
unidentified
|
And I think we're about to hear from the President of the United States. | |
I'll finish that story later. | ||
We're going to turn to the epiphany. |
