France has now killed more than 100 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. | ||
| You know, when somebody talked to us about the podcast and how strong the podcast is. | ||
| Remember, podcasts are a very small part of our overall distribution. | ||
| And we actually do the show for kind of more TV or live streaming. | ||
| Radio and podcasts are very important. | ||
| I love radio on the John Fredericks Radio Network. | ||
| But it's always been really kind of television or visually driven. | ||
| One of the things I want to say is that Great content will find its audience. | ||
| That's kind of McLuhan-esque theory. | ||
| Great content will find its audience. | ||
| And here what we ask the audience, if you like it, just become a force multiplier and get it out. | ||
| So nobody can shut down great content. | ||
| If you provide great content and there's a demand for it, That content will always find its source. | ||
| Also the other theory of modern cable. | ||
| All the financiers looked at hundreds and hundreds of financings of cable operations, bank lending, did bank lending, high yield, all that. | ||
| I'm a riff on Tolstoy. | ||
| All successful cable channels are the same, and each failure is a failure in its own right, differently. | ||
| How is it the same? | ||
| Every cable channel that makes it starts, or eventually hits upon, a great show. | ||
| A show that works. | ||
| It was O'Reilly, really, for Fox. | ||
| Roger Ailes had had a couple of failures. | ||
| Rudy Giuliani was a close friend of his and his lawyer. | ||
| Roger Ailes had a couple of failures at MSNBC and other places. | ||
| He tried this for years and couldn't. | ||
| He started Fox. | ||
| It started and he had O'Reilly and then he had Hannity. | ||
| It was Hannity and Combs at the time. | ||
| He had O'Reilly and Hannity and Combs. | ||
| Those two shows in the evening. | ||
| Drove, drove Fox for many years, and you can see with Rush Limbaugh's show that came out of nowhere, all that great content will find its audience. | ||
| Our responsibility every day is to put up great content, and that's our responsibility. | ||
| The audience, we would appreciate it if you took on, because we're all partners here, and if you like the content and thinks it means something, we particularly want it shared with Democrats and progressives or people that don't agree with you. | ||
| Because what we have found overwhelmingly, the intelligence of the show, the ideas we put forth, the way we force the audience to grapple with these ideas, whether it's a pandemic, whether it's geopolitics, now whether it's the economic theory in back of oligarchs, right? | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Collusive oligopoly, as according to Dr. Peter Navarro from Harvard. | ||
| We're getting into Darren Batey. | ||
| Darren Batey is going to join us in a moment when we finish with Rudy. | ||
| Darren Batey is one of the smartest guys in the MAGA movement. | ||
| He's focused, Jack Posobiec is focused on oligarchs. | ||
| Beatty's been focused on oligarchs for many, many years when we get into all of it. | ||
| I want to go back to Rudy. | ||
| So Rudy, on the impeachment, because, you know, Twitter is saying, and Maggie, do you have that quote? | ||
| I want to make sure Rudy hears this. | ||
| You got the quote? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is pretty unbelievable. | |
| So this is from Twitter released a blog post about their reason for why they permanently suspended the real Donald Trump account. | ||
| And if you go through these bullet points that they've outlined, it's absolutely unhinged and conspiratorial. | ||
| I mean, you read this stuff and it's really outrageous. | ||
| I would encourage people to read the whole thing, but to me the most insane part is they actually say that the use of words American patriots to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support of those committing violent acts at the U.S. | ||
| Capitol. | ||
| He came out and he came out and condemned those guys. | ||
| The people that did violence, he came out and condemned. | ||
| He's saying the use of the word American Patriots is enough to take down his Twitter account. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, they're claiming that that is glorification of violence. | |
| Well, we never glorify violence, but we will never stop calling the deplorables American Patriots. | ||
| You're the backbone of patriotism in this country. | ||
| And hey, if you don't like a Twitter, you can take it. | ||
| Oh, I've already been taken down. | ||
| And what's so horrifying in Orwellian is they're taking our virtues and turning them into vices. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Literally, what is good is bad, what is bad is good. | |
| This is completely upside down. | ||
| War is peace, love is hate, all that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We know the playbook, and that's where we're going to overcome it. | ||
| So folks, take a deep breath. | ||
| It's all about righteous indignation and resolve. | ||
| That's what we're about on the show. | ||
| Okay, Rudy, I want to go back to Amer. | ||
| I want to go back to over the weekend, you know, we can hear the wood being chopped right across the street in the nation's capital. | ||
| They're working on articles of impeachment. | ||
| You've been here before. | ||
| You've been here before and were the president's lead lawyer, you and Jay Sekulow, to get the president through this on this impeachment. | ||
| You said at the time at the beginning of the last impeachment, the president said, hey, the conversation was perfect. | ||
| Everything was perfect about that. | ||
| You mocked and ridiculed these people at the first one. | ||
| And in hindsight, it looks you are correct. | ||
| They were wrong. | ||
| It was a ginormous waste of time. | ||
| Right, particularly at the end of it, it took everybody's eye off the pandemic. | ||
| Thank God War Room Pandemic was there in the middle of January to spot it and shift it from our impeachment show to pandemic. | ||
| You mocked and ridiculed it the entire time. | ||
| You said it's purely out to try to destroy Trump. | ||
| Now, in the last, what, 10 or 12 days of his administration, they're going to bring forward one, I think inciting, I think it was an inciting, violent insurrection against the United States government. | ||
| Not to get into the details, because I don't want to tip your hand, but Is there any doubt in your mind that Nancy Pelosi is going to bring a bill of impeachment on Monday? | ||
| I'm going to have to, as his lawyer, assume that she is. | ||
| We're ready for it. | ||
| It is going to be, from her point of view, the coup de grace. | ||
| It'll prove that all the rest of them were equally as unjustifiable and criminal in nature. | ||
| These are frame ups. | ||
| I consider these conspiracies to obstruct justice. | ||
| I've always believed that they should be indicted for a Five-year-long conspiracy to frame an innocent man. | ||
| And if I were dealing with this case, I'd prosecute them for that. | ||
| I mean, think of all the lies and shivs, all the false testimony that was brought forward, the phony dossier against Manafort, the steel dossier that was paid for. | ||
| How about the people in the Justice Department hiding relevant expropriatory evidence? | ||
| They should be prosecuted. | ||
| This is going to have to turn around one day, maybe first in a book and then in a prosecution. | ||
| But this will be the most absurd of all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Witness the fact that his approval rating has gone up. | |
| You know what they always do, Steve, and I think I said this to you two or three days ago, I said to the President, just wait, they're going to overdo it. | ||
| They overplay their hand. | ||
| They overplay their hand, they can't control themselves. | ||
| Because they don't have immediate kind of control. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They'll jump up 10, 15 percent. | ||
| Then they'll be afraid to impeach him. | ||
| My defense of the president on the first impeachment was very simple. | ||
| Keep his approval rating up. | ||
| Because they're cowards and they're not going to impeach him if he's popular. | ||
| If he isn't popular, they'll run all over him like, you know, some carcass. | ||
| Well, you had him do what the American people hired him to do, be President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| He did his job. | ||
| The economy was booming. | ||
| We were at peace. | ||
| We were confronting the Chinese Communist Party in China. | ||
| He was doing his job, and that's what you had him do. | ||
| But I want to go back and make sure the audience hasn't missed something. | ||
| You're saying what I call the Nullification Project, and that was the thing to nullify his presidency from the very moment we won on the early morning hours of November 9th of 2016. | ||
| Even before! | ||
| Okay, and that's in the campaign. | ||
| But you're saying that nullification project... Nullify him. | ||
| You're saying that project is your belief you could go use RICO and get to a mass investigation of that and actually bring indictments against people? | ||
| Yeah, about 20 of them, sure. | ||
| Sure, I mean it goes back to the White House in January of 2016 when two people that work for, believe it or not, Joe Biden, Ask Ukrainian prosecutors to dig up dirt on Manafort, Trump, and Don Jr. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a straight out violation of the law. | |
| One of those guys turns out to be the whistleblower at the end. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| You want a nice book? | ||
| I don't want a book. | ||
| Here's what I think the American people want. | ||
| Yes, now you're getting there. | ||
| Instead of Rudy having the tinfoil hat on this morning, what about the following? | ||
| Why is the Commander-in-Chief and the President of the United States declassifying all that information and putting it out there? | ||
| If you put it out there, let the American people decide whether Rudy Giuliani should have a tinfoil hat on, or whether Brennan and Clapper and Comey and all these guys are liars and what they've done. | ||
| I don't understand, his base doesn't understand, and even many of the American people that are civil libertarians and don't support Trump otherwise, Don't understand why this information is not out there. | ||
| This information, it's not appropriate, quite frankly, at this stage in this presidency for Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon to be talking about this in the A Block of the second hour on Saturday morning of War Room Pandemic. | ||
| What has to happen, and I've got to tell you, I think President Trump has a moral responsibility. | ||
| This is bigger than him. | ||
| It's like the steel that went on the election wasn't about Trump. | ||
| It wasn't about Trump winning the presidency. | ||
| We had a higher calling to the Republic and to the Constitution. | ||
| The President of the United States has a moral responsibility today for this Republic. | ||
| To put all that information out. | ||
| And hey, if it doesn't match up to what Rudy Giuliani is saying, then Rudy Giuliani has proven, the facts have proven that Rudy is crazy. | ||
| He is crazy, Rudy. | ||
| But if it supports it, then guess what? | ||
| And this is just like the Ukraine letter and the conversation that they impeach him on. | ||
| The hard drive from hell, because it has the receipts when that's released, the first thing you see is that, hey, The impeachment would have never gone on if they had released that information back in December of 2019. | ||
| This is all about facts and information and this is what I think is so frustrating to the MAGA people. | ||
| We have the receipts. | ||
| We have the information, the facts are on our side, but you can't argue that with the oligarchy and the mainstream media cabal, right, and the Democratic Party and the progressives and the corporatist globalists, because we hide it back. | ||
| So, Rudy, as his lawyer, what is holding the President of the United States back from just putting it all out there? | ||
| As his lawyer, Steve, I can't answer that. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| Because it involves private conversations I have with him. | ||
| I can tell you this, as his lawyer, I, of course, without knowing the classified material, have had to basically figure out what's in it, at least the worst and the best, so that I can give some advice on whether it should be put out or not. | ||
| So you're in a little bit of a blind, but I'm willing, without knowing what's in it, to say put it out. | ||
| And I believe like everything else that's come out. | ||
| I mean, a lot has come out. | ||
| Each time it comes out, it shows that he's innocent and they're involved in a conspiracy to frame him, including the... Okay, I just want to say, I want to ask this question because, you know, I'm not a Ukrainian. | ||
| I'm not, I don't deal with the Ukraine thing or the Russia thing. | ||
| I deal with them. | ||
| I got that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got that. | |
| But I deal with them. | ||
| I got that, but you've got to handle Crazy Rudy because of the Ukraine stuff. | ||
| I'm an anti-CCP guy, but my point is, if this information is released, would you commit to the American people right now that you will not be known as Crazy Rudy? | ||
| That everything that you've said, everything you've said about the Ukraine, everything you've said about conspiracies that are going on, every interview you've given, every fact you've put out there, would that be backed up if this information was released in its totality? | ||
| Come on, I've been a lawyer all my life. | ||
| I did it the same way I went after the mafia, the Nazis, the same way I went after Wall Street. | ||
| I did it with memos and notes. | ||
| And I mean, some of it you can see on my podcast because some of it isn't classified. | ||
| You can see I interview people like their depositions. | ||
| I have in my home and I have backed up somewhere else about 5,000 pages of material, probably an exaggeration, 2,500 pages of material. | ||
| I have confessions. | ||
| I have videotapes. | ||
| I can prove it five ways to Sunday. | ||
| I always knew, you know, there might be a change in administration. | ||
| They tried to put me in jail over it, so I made sure I proved it 100%. | ||
| And so far, everything I've put out, look at all the Hunter Biden stuff coming out that I was ridiculed for about two months ago, and so were you. | ||
| It all turned out to be true. | ||
| It all turned out to be totally true. | ||
| How come we're finding out about it now? | ||
| Well, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani told you about it two months ago, pal. | ||
| It's going to be as true as what has come out so far. | ||
| Has anything come out so far to contradict anything that I've said or anything you've said? | ||
| Anything? | ||
| Not a single thing? | ||
| No, sir. | ||
| You know what comes out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, I'm going to tell you, it's worse than we think. | |
| That's what will come out. | ||
| There'll be things in there I don't know about that are worse. | ||
| We've got 30 seconds, Mayor. | ||
| Just tell quickly, how do people get the podcast? | ||
| Talks about Rudy's interviewing with all kind of evidence about Antifa and others about the protest that turned into part of a riot the other day. | ||
| Rudy's got the receipts. | ||
| How do you get to the podcast? | ||
| Rudyscommonsense.com. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| You get me? | ||
| They can't stop me. | ||
| That's mine. | ||

| And it's going to be on Rumble on Monday. | ||
| But don't wait. | ||
| Go to RudisPodcast.com. | ||
| Right there, I have 552,000 subscribers. | ||
| So every single one of those 552,000 subscribers, go get a friend and watch it. | ||
| It's very entertaining. | ||
| You'll see the people describe it, once again, as the frame-up of Donald Trump. | ||
| Maybe the 10th frame-up, just criminal Democrats have tried. | ||
| America's Mayor. | ||
| We'll get banned again, I'm sure. | ||
| Okay, we'll take a short break. | ||

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. | ||
| Maggie, we got a tweet there you want to talk about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is from Rachel Campos Duffy, waiting for hashtag never Trump Republicans to admit they were wrong about who was the real threat to democracy. | |
| Yeah, I'm talking to you, at Ben Sasse, at Mitt Romney, at Bill Kristol, and at George Conway and many others who conspired with our new tyrants and overlords to take out President Trump. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So I want to bring in now Darren Beatty from Revolver News. | ||
| You have, and she's no fire breather. | ||
| I mean, she's Duffy's wife and been on Fox, a big believer, I think, in the MAGA movement and Tea Party movement. | ||
| But there she's calling out the Never Trumpers. | ||
| So Darren, we're at a very dangerous time in American history right now. | ||
| You're one of the biggest minds we have in Washington and in this movement. | ||
| Walk us through where we are and is what Miss Duffy says correct? | ||
| I think it's absolutely correct, and we need to be very careful and very meticulous about processing exactly what's occurring before our eyes. | ||
| What we're seeing is a major crackdown on freedoms, but it's not some kind of disjointed, out-of-nowhere crackdown. | ||
| It's part of a trend really that has been intensifying since 9-11. | ||
| And I think there are many things to say about it. | ||
| But one of the things to say is that for all of its negative aspects, it is clarifying the nature of our nation's power structure. | ||
| And I think it's an interesting contrast. | ||
| I think, you know, you're a great critic of the CCP. | ||
| And I'm sure you've covered extensively the issue with Jack Ma, who is a big corporate figure in China, who's mysteriously disappeared after criticizing the CCP. What you have here in the United States is the inverse of that. Whereas in China, you have the state able to completely crush a head of a major corporation for criticizing the government. Here you have corporations, | ||
| principally these big tech firms, that are able to censor and de-platform the president of the United States. In China, you have a state-run media. | ||
| In the United States, you have a media-run state. And And in fact, at the very highest levels, the distinctions are merely technical and formal. | ||
| At the highest levels, what you really have is a full integration between the major corporate sector, including the big tech companies, and the security apparatus of the United States. | ||
| And what I've been saying from the very beginning on your show, is this disturbing trend that broad swaths of America's national security apparatus are being repurposed and redeployed domestically in order to crush the energies associated with Donald Trump. | ||
| And that's precisely what you're seeing now. | ||
| And even just days after the event on the Capitol, what you see is they're trying to roll out a domestic terror bill. | ||
| The United States government is very close to labeling 70 million patriotic Trump supporters as potential domestic terrorists, and that is a very dangerous trend for the future. | ||
| I want to go back to this. | ||
| This gets to, for our audience, this gets to the The issue of the Republican Party and the future of the Republican Party and what it stands for, and this is what I mean. | ||
| The Trump is obviously head of and the leader of a populist, or as Kerry calls it, a nationalistic populist movement. | ||
| The Republican Party, and by the way, in that movement, Our American patriots that have served their nation and our veterans are actively serving the military and are members of Law and Order etc. | ||
| In fact, President Trump when he came out the other day said, hey, we can't glorify what happened the other day at the Capitol because we're the Law and Order Party. | ||
| So, the two elements you just talked about, the national security apparatus, which many of the Trump movement people have either worked in, some even work in today, or have been serving members of the military, number one. | ||
| The other is that the economic orthodoxy of the Republican Party. | ||
| Over, you know, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 years has really led to this kind of unaccountable corporate power, right? | ||
| Because we're the pro-business party. | ||
| It's the corporate power. | ||
| The tax cuts and the deregulations and really, ultimately, the lack of control, we've essentially | ||
| Created the two monsters have been created that now look to the convergence of this kind of state capitalism and converging with bigger government power in this authoritarian model, which is really just a Watered-down version of the CCP model is what all members of the party of Davos want to go to whether in the EU etc versus the Westphalian model of the individual nation-state and this was she speech and This is the heart, the conundrum. | ||
| Davos and Trump's inaugural address four years ago almost to the to the week. This is the heart, the conundrum. The conundrum is the two monsters, the national security apparatus and the corporate apparatus is of our own creation, right? | ||
| More so than the progressive left. | ||
| Am I incorrect there? | ||
| And that is going to be the discussion of, oh, this guy's an establishment Republican, this guy's a Trump thing. | ||
| That's just the surface. | ||
| When you get down to actually the structure of it, and this is why it's not a conspiracy, you've got to understand the structure. | ||
| And I think it's what's so powerful about Darren Beatty, because he says, this is a clarifying moment on the nature of the power structure In the United States, right? | ||
| So, Darren, am I wrong in my, at least, back of the envelope assessment of what this is and where we are? | ||
| No, I think you're quite accurate in your description and I think absolutely just as people on the right or just generally patriots have had to reassess traditional ideological attachments to big business simply because business is in the private sector versus government and we've seen all of these formally nominally private | ||
| Corporate behemoths, which of course are essentially integrated into the government structure on the highest level. | ||
| On the highest level, there is no meaningful distinction between the American security state and the private sector. | ||
| But our ideology sort of cling to that old distinction in order to favor big business over the government. | ||
| And that's something that we've had to kind of overcome and reassess, and I think that's largely been done. | ||
| I think a second and more difficult reassessment pertains to the national security sphere as such. | ||
| And I think it's very interesting and apropos that Twitter censored Trump for using the term patriots. | ||
| And I think we need to interrogate more than ever what it actually means to be a patriot in a situation which every single institution of the American security apparatus is actuated against the American people or against at least the 70 million people. | ||
| Who registered their support for Donald Trump? | ||
| It's a very difficult situation to navigate, but we have to understand the nature of it. | ||
| It's not socialists. | ||
| It's not leftists. | ||
| All of these buzzwords that are used on the retail politics level to animate people politically, what it is is a power structure of the corrupt American globalist regime and that corrupt American globalist regime is about to lay down the hammer on 70 million American patriots labeling them domestic terrorists as a very dangerous situation to be in that we need to understand it and we need to act accordingly. One practical way you can see this | ||
| is one of the reasons that this whole socialism versus capitalism marketing campaign never got any traction. | ||
| And when they tried to do it in the early spring of last year, they put a ton of money in this. | ||
| It's just because it didn't resonate with people's daily lives. | ||
| It's like in Georgia. | ||
| This whole thing about capitalism versus social, they put a lot of money into the ads, put a lot of money into the thing. | ||
| It didn't energize anybody. | ||
| It didn't because it didn't reflect people. | ||
| The American people are very smart about this. | ||
| They understand something is not right. | ||
| They understand this is not the America they grew up with. | ||
| This is not the America that we were bequeathed. | ||
| That's why this is a fourth turning. | ||
| As I've said now for almost a decade, we're going to be one thing or the other on the other side of this. | ||
| We're either going to be the nation that was bequeathed to the Republic, the Constitutional Republic has bequeathed to us, or we will be something quite different, right? | ||
| And that's all to be determined. | ||
| It's all to be determined. | ||
| And that's what this fight's about. | ||
| I want to go back to your point. | ||
| We've got a couple of minutes, and Darren, I'd like to know if you could stay over briefly for the next episode. | ||
| We're going to bring John Eastman, also the Constitutional lawyer. | ||
| When you say domestic terrorism, walk people through, give us a heads up, because they're working on articles of impeachment. | ||
| Maybe I'll deal with that first with you. | ||
| They're working on articles of impeachment this weekend that said the President of the United States incited a violent insurrection against the government of the United States. | ||
| You got about a minute and a half. | ||
| Walk through your assessment of just that charge in and of itself. | ||
| Well, the charge is ridiculous because there was no insurrection, let alone the president inciting the insurrection. | ||
| Again, I think this is a total mischaracterization, a very dangerous and false narrative that, of course, the media is using to justify this pre-planned Ratcheting up of the surveillance state of the security state apparatus to go after Trump support. | ||
| This is already in the making. | ||
| They just needed a pretext. | ||
| And the media, of course, as in a propaganda arm of the corrupt globalist American regime, is ready to amplify the narratives that serve the interests of this great power grab of this great coup. | ||
| And so I think we need to reject out of hand this notion that what occurred was insurrection, let alone that Trump encouraged any insurrection, which if you read his words, if you understand what he said, is completely false. | ||
| Darren, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Before we do that, how do people on social media, how do they keep track of you? | ||
| Well, the Twitter is Armageddon right now. | ||
| I'd say go find me on Parler, B-E-D-A-R-N-J, B-E-A-T-T-I-E-D-A-R-R-E-N-J, and revolver.news. | ||
| Sign up for our email letter. | ||
| We're going to use this more actively. | ||
| It's going to be very hot, very interesting. | ||
| Sign up for the email newsletter on revolver.news right now. | ||
| It's the hottest news site, and by the way, you've got Citizens Free Press, you've got Populous Press, you've got the National Post, you've got all these great sites out there. | ||
| Revolver is really, the reason I love Revolver, it's high and low. | ||
| It's both broadsheet and tabloid all in one. | ||
| You've got to go, you get some great thinking, you also get some very interesting things on the culture. | ||
| High culture and maybe culture that's not so high. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return with Darren Beatty, Revolver.News, in 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. | ||
| Okay, we've asked Aaron Beatty to hang out. | ||
| We're going to bring him back at the end. | ||
| We've got to get to Professor John Eastman because he's jammed, as you can imagine, for time. | ||
| A couple things we've got to get through. | ||
| Professor Eastman, first off, any observations on what happened last night to basically shut down the communications of the President of the United States with his followers and the American people by Twitter and other social media companies? | ||
| Any thoughts? | ||
| Clearly, we're trying to block any alternative voice here or any effort to getting at the truth. | ||
| Twitter is not a government agency, so the First Amendment doesn't apply, but they have so occupied the field on our communication system now that I think they need to start being treated like a utility because this just cannot hold. | ||
| I mean, it's probably a breach of contract. | ||
| And look, just the idiocy. | ||
| I mean, they've got pages up in Twitter accounts for Dictators around the country and they will take down the one by the President of the United States Because they disagree with his efforts to get the truth out about the election. | ||

|
It really is preposterous Let's talk about that truth about the election. | |
| It's one of the reasons that we get pulled down permanently I think on from YouTube yesterday was an interview with Rudy he said something about the Democrats being one of the you know that drove the the the protest and and then he said he went back to the talking about the the The illegality of certain aspects of the election, of which, by the way, in Pennsylvania, the Senate is still arguing about it. | ||
| They're arguing about it in the Judiciary Committee in Georgia. | ||
| They're arguing about it in the Judiciary Committee in Arizona. | ||
| These elected bodies, we got pulled down for that. | ||
| They said that was the other reason. | ||
| Andrew McCarthy, who people have a lot of respect for, we have a lot of respect for. | ||
| A U.S. | ||
| Attorney put a lot of the Jihad guys away back at the turn of the century. | ||
| He had a kind of a blistering op-ed in The Hill. | ||
| I know you're doing some analysis of it. | ||
| He says you essentially fundamentally misread the situation, and what Mike Pence said is categorically correct. | ||
| What's your response, Professor Eastman? | ||
| Well, Mike Pence's letter on Wednesday morning grossly exaggerated what he had been asked to do. | ||
| What the president asked him to do in the speech on Wednesday, and in several meetings leading up to that speech, was not declare the president re-elected and do that unilaterally. | ||
| It was simply to adjourn the meeting, to allow the legislatures to continue their investigative work to determine whether the certificates of electors that have been sent from their states, in violation of state law, which everybody acknowledges, We're erroneous and should either be reaffirmed after an investigation or overturned after an investigation. | ||
| That was all. | ||
| But the vice president chose to say, I just am not going to exercise this power to unilaterally declare President Trump reelected. | ||
| The disconnect between that was just fundamentally dishonest. | ||
| And now everybody is taking off of that false statement. | ||
| As if that's what the president asked him to do. | ||
| And you can read the president's speech or listen to it. | ||
| He simply said, the vice president's really ought to let the legislatures take matters back into their own hands to review this thing. | ||
| That's what he asked for. | ||
| And, you know, that distortion is now playing as if it were true. | ||
| And, you know, it really is rather despicable of the vice president to have done that. | ||
| And, you know, I mean, I think Andy McCarthy needs to And I'm working on a response. | ||
| I think he needs to know what was actually requested and how much more reasonable it is. | ||
| And by the way, I mean, people have seen this election theft. | ||
| They've seen the illegality. | ||
| They've seen the results. | ||
| It's got nothing to do with me or Rudy or the president, you know, telling people again what happened. | ||
| They already know it. | ||
| And, you know, the way to have tamped down any concern Would have been to say, let's let these investigations play out. | ||
| Well, then you hear the false line, well, 60 times the courts have laughed this out of court as invalid. | ||
| That's just patently untrue. | ||
| Most of those cases have been rejected on arcane jurisdictional grounds and only one or two even got close to addressing the merits and then deliberately ignored verified evidence, sworn affidavits, documentary evidence in the thousands and thousands of pages and said, well, we don't see anything here. | ||
| It's that kind of stuff that has people really upset and really angry because they know that if a proper count were done, where only legal votes were counted, no switched votes were counted, and illegal votes are not counted, Trump won this thing rather overwhelmingly. | ||
| As a Vice President, I know you call him despicable, or at least the decision despicable. | ||
| Did he actually have the power, and how do you back that up, to actually adjourn the meeting? | ||
| Because isn't he implying, I didn't have power to do anything. | ||
| All I have power to do is open envelopes, and whatever's in the envelope is in the envelope. | ||
| Essentially, to cut down to the core of it, that's his argument, right? | ||
| And so, did he even have power to adjourn? | ||
| So, I believe he did. | ||
| You've got electoral votes that are acknowledged to have been issued in violation of state law. | ||
| That's because you have, when you say acknowledged, that's because you've got a letter from the Corpsman from Pennsylvania, and it's the Corpsman of Pennsylvania saying, list all these problems, we have the Secretary of State doing it, we need these back, we need time to think through this, right? | ||
| That's what you're saying, that's your evidence? | ||
| That's my evidence and we have court decisions ratifying election officials, state court decisions ratifying election officials to say you don't need to comply with this law. | ||
| You can get rid of signature verification. | ||
| You can get rid of the right to challenge. | ||
| You can make meaningless the right to have an observer in the room. | ||
| You can ignore the requirement that a witness sign date and fill in sign and date, the certification. | ||
| You could ignore all those requirements. | ||
| That occurred and there's no dispute that that occurred. | ||
| And it's because of that occurrence that these legislatures are saying our electoral votes were issued in violation to our state laws. | ||
| And since those laws are enacted according to our authority under Article 2 of the Constitution, that makes this enterprise unconstitutional. | ||
| There is no dispute about that. | ||
| And the legislatures had asked the vice president to simply delay the proceedings enough for us to conclude our investigation because our own governors refuse to even allow us to be called back into session to look at this stuff. | ||
| Now, there's a technical provision in the Electoral Count Act that says once they start, they can't adjourn. | ||
| But later in the day, there were three other technical provisions of the Electoral Count Act that the vice president violated. | ||
| uh... it says you cannot when you when you break into the separate houses Thank you for joining us. | ||
| to have discussion on objections, those discussions have to conclude at two hours and a vote be held. | ||
| He allowed them to go on for much longer than two hours. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi did the same thing in the House. When the vote has occurred, the Electoral Count Act says they shall reconvene immediately in joint session. And instead, the vice president granted a motion by the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to have, you know, he and Schumer to have a tirade against the Trump supporters that launch the attack on the on the capital And by the way, it wasn't Trump supporters that launched that attack. | ||
| We've got video evidence at 1 o'clock and 115, while the President is still speaking, you know, a mile and a half away to a crowd of a half a million people or so. | ||
| We have people putting pipe bombs outside the RNC and the DNC at 1 and 115. | ||
| The President is still speaking, so how could he have incited that? | ||
| We've got people beginning at 1 o'clock on the steps of the Capitol, breaching Capitol barricades. | ||
| President Trump's audience of a half a million is a mile and a half away while he's still speaking. | ||
| How could he have incited that? | ||
| This was a deliberate attack by Antifa. | ||
| This was not Trump supporters that were doing that. | ||
| Once the crowd got down there did some of them join in it? | ||
| I have no doubt. | ||
| That's all to be proven. | ||
| I'm sure we're going to have plenty of time to go through all that. | ||
| There's videos here, all that. | ||
| I'm sure it'll be organized into something that people can go through and investigate. | ||
| I've got to pivot, though, to that event. | ||
| Now they're drawing up articles of impeachment 500 yards from here. | ||
| The one article we read the other day, at least they've got, is that the President Well, I think it's preposterous, but I think it was set up so that they could build a narrative. | ||
| against the United States government. You're his constitutional lawyer. What do you think about that charge? | ||
| Well, I think it's preposterous, but I think it was set up so that they could build a narrative. | ||
| I've looked at what the president actually said. Let's see if I've got it here handy. | ||
| I'm sorry, I don't have it handy. | ||
| I don't know what I did with it. | ||
| He basically said, I know a lot of you are going to go down to the Capitol. | ||
| Do it peacefully and patriotically to let your voices be heard. | ||
| That was inviting an exercise of First Amendment political speech. | ||
| It was not inciting a riot. | ||
| Uh, and to use that president's statement as inciting a riot to the level of impeachable offense is just preposterous. | ||
| But, but look, you and I know it's just a jam down. | ||
| They, they falsely built a narrative so that they could do the jam down and they have the votes in the, because the Democrats will all vote. | ||
| It doesn't matter how clear the evidence is on the other side. | ||
| They will ignore it. | ||
| But doesn't this provide an opportunity? | ||
| It was like the first impeachment. | ||
| It actually provided, remember, of the impeachment, I don't think I ever saw an ad, if they did, they didn't get any traction, either in the spring to try to damage Trump, or in the fall campaign, in the run-up, you never saw, they avoided the impeachment. | ||
| Why? | ||
| They got smoked on the impeachment. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because when you had to start putting evidence out there and argue, people go, why are we wasting our time on this, right? | ||
| So is this not an opportunity? | ||
| Is this not an opportunity? | ||
| They always overplay their hand, right? | ||
| So if they're going to overplay their hand here, some White House guy put out a thing the other day, oh, we should bring the country together and unify, and hey, if they're going to bring it, and they're going to bring it, take it as an opportunity, because it doesn't give the opportunity to ridicule what they did, but also to get into actually what happened. | ||
| Right? | ||
| In addition, to start to bring up some of the evidence that you were blocked, the tragedy besides the event itself was that it killed the two hours per state for the six states, the 12 hours in each house that have been 24 hours to actually make for the first time a real argument in front of an official body at that level of detail you never had. | ||
| Doesn't this give you the opportunity potentially to make the case? | ||
| Sure, I think it does. | ||
| There are two things on which they're basing the claim that he incited what happened at the Capitol. | ||
| And I think if you look at the statement that I just cited, he asked them to be patriotic and peaceful Americans exercising their right To be heard free speech and that the thugs that started this down there were doing it long before Trump even finished the speech. | ||
| But the second thing and the more pervasive thing they are alleging is that all of his statements and they always put in the word groundless and unproved statements about election fraud is what's got people whipped up into a frenzy because they're falsely being led to believe that this election was stolen. | ||
| Well, that's if that's part of the if that's part of the narrative that they think supports an impeachment, then that opens up the door for us to disprove it. | ||
| And we have every bit of evidence which has not been heard by the courts. | ||
| The Supreme Court has completely taken a pass. | ||
| You know, the legislatures weren't allowed to call themselves back into session to look at that evidence. | ||
| And so this may be a wonderful opportunity to put it all on. | ||
| And by the way, you know, anytime we've had a chance to meet with individual legislators to lay out the evidence that we have of traditional fraud, of traditional ballot stuffing, of the statistical evidence that proves beyond her adventure that this has happened. | ||
| And then the machine manipulation evidence that is coming in in full force now. | ||
| When you lay that case out, your jaws drop. | ||
| And what Pelosi's doing is opening up the door to give us an opportunity to do that. | ||
| And maybe this will be the first opportunity the American people have really to see the entirety of the evidence. | ||
| Or the tell, that's where I want to get in. | ||
| The tell, if she doesn't have it in there, we've called their bluff. | ||
| If she doesn't have it in there, she's in a conundrum. | ||
| So big talk, bring it. | ||
| Bring it. | ||
| We want it. | ||
| We want it. | ||
| You're going to disprove it was an insurrection, but more importantly, Nancy, More importantly, Speaker, bring it. | ||
| Because the tell will be, if you don't include that, then we know you're afraid of seeing the receipts and the evidence. | ||
| And if you bring it, you're going to have Eastman, Rudy, or I guess you'll have Congressman, you'll have Jordan and others are presented, because I'm sure they're presented. | ||
| Professor Eastman, thank you very much for changing your day around to join us. | ||
| Look forward to talking to you next week as this impeachment heats up. | ||

All right. | |
| Very good. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Take care. | ||
| John Eastman from Chapman College, the Professor of Constitutional Law there, and over at the Claremont Institute also, and the President's Constitutional Lawyer. | ||
| He's working on a piece to rebut the great Andy McCarthy, who Andy disagrees with. | ||
| And you should go to the Hill. | ||
| We've got to put it up. | ||
| Andy McCarthy's piece that disagrees with Professor Eastman. | ||
| OK, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back with Darren Beatty and conclude his discussion on the rise of the new oligarchs on War Room. | ||

| You can do text on your phone, War Room, all one word, to 888-111, and you download the Real America's Voice app, which is fantastic. | ||
| Or, you just go to the website, warroom.org, or you go to the Real America's Voice website, which is called America's Voice, one word, America's Voice, You go to Rumble, they'll have the show up in an hour in their archives, or any of the podcast platforms, and you can go to populistpress.com, that's one word, populistpress.com, and download the War Room Graphic, it'll take you right to the app and you can share everything. | ||
| Okay, we've got Darren Beatty, you've got something you want to bring in for Darren Jack Maxey? | ||
| Yeah, Darren, as we sort of talk about this seemingly coordinated takedown of the social media accounts, accusing certain people of promoting false narratives, false news, all this. | ||
| I'm reminded of that letter that was signed by dozens of national security experts on October 19th trying to refute the article in the New York Post revealing the contents of Hunter's hard drive. | ||
| And essentially these guys come out and say that this is all Russian disinformation, that the whole thing was created out of whole cloth. | ||
| And these aren't minor players. | ||
| James Clapper, Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, John Brennan, John McLaughlin, Michael Morrow, Mike Vickers. | ||
| These are top guys in our national security apparatus. | ||
| And they misled the American people using their professional status, using their years of, quote, service to this country, to gaslight the American people and claim that Hunter Biden's hard drive was fake and created out of whole cloth by Russian intelligence. | ||
| Why are these guys not getting de-platformed? | ||
| This is the greatest disinformation that's ever occurred. | ||
| And these guys at one time were responsible for our national security. | ||
| They still have security clearance to get briefed. | ||
| So Darren Beatty, what say you? | ||
| Well, I think it's a good question. | ||
| And the answer is simply, they're not getting de-platforming because they are part of the de-platforming. | ||
| These tech companies, I think it's a common misconception that it's simply the tech CEOs themselves out of some kind of misguided expression of wokeness censoring Trump people, the tech companies pressing their thumbs on the pro-Trump patriots. | ||
| Well, it's actually the national security apparatus pressing its own thumb on the tech companies themselves. | ||
| And we can get into this history more extensively, perhaps another time, but in fact, the censorship regime that we see a culmination of with the deplatforming of the president of the United States, that really began when all of the Obama administration, state department and national security council officials shuffled into the tech firms and constituted basically | ||
| a shadow government within the tech firms. | ||
| And so This is another reason why we can't really disaggregate these quote unquote private companies, big tech companies with the government. | ||
| It's a revolving door. | ||
| It is essentially the Obama State Department and National Security Council, the very people who are tasked with the job of promoting American propaganda abroad to pretend like securing pipelines have something to do with freedom, those people rolled into the trust and safety commissions of these big tech firms and function as essentially a shadow government. And that's an essential part of | ||
| this story of the censorship regime we see today, is that the big tech companies are fully integrated into the security apparatus. | ||
| And so you see that with these censorship predicates, like Russian disinformation. | ||
| That is a term of art within the intelligence community that invites the full weight of a national security response to address domestic opinions that actually threaten the people in charge. | ||
| So it's a very dangerous development, but it's part of a singular development that we're seeing, which is the national security state is being actuated and redirected against the American people. | ||
| And here's the thing, by the way, so he's done have a tinfoil hat on. | ||
| We're not conspiracy there. | ||
| That's just the way the systems work, and we can break it down to you a bit by bit. | ||
| The other question has got to be with as many misses, major strategic misses we've had in the intelligence apparatus and missed the entire rise of China and quite frankly the CCP's involvement here in the United States which we're going to get into chapter and verse every day and dare people to sit there and we're going to dare them to say, show me where we're wrong. | ||
| Show me what's wrong about this. | ||
| If you've got different information, let's get, let's go, let's debate. | ||
| Last thing, domestic, this domestic terrorism bill, just to make people's weekend as we leave here in a warm pandemic, give us, give us two minutes. | ||
| We've got about two, about 90 seconds for you. | ||
| Give us 90 seconds of what do you mean by a new domestic terrorism bill that's going to engulf MAGA. | ||
| It's another Patriot Act. | ||
| It's never let a crisis, even an engineered crisis, go to waste. | ||
| Everything you see is going to be used as a pretext for a ramp up of the surveillance regime and the ramp up of the budgets of the Department of Homeland Security, the DOJ, the FBI. | ||
| The lie that they exist to protect Americans from foreign adversaries, the National Security Apparatus of America exists to protect the corrupt ruling class of the globalist American regime from the 70 million American patriots who voted for Trump. | ||
