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.
That 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 a hundred 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.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
Welcome back to our second hour, the number one, two, or three podcast in the nation on politics, every night now with over 29 million downloads.
Of course, remember, that's just the fifth method of distribution.
We're on Real America's Voice, we're on Dischannel 219, Comcast Channel 113, John Frederick's Radio Network nationwide, Rumble, every different type of distribution platform.
And to top it all off, we are translated into Mandarin for the Chinese diaspora and also blown through the firewall into mainland China with G-News and G-TV.
Maybe we've got to start blowing through the firewall in the United States of America, right?
With the tech oligarchs, big media.
Disgraceful, disgraceful performance of CNN.
Disgraceful.
Okay, now I want to bring in, you had 10 people the other day, 10 Republicans elected with your hard work, your money, and drafting off President Trump, that stood up and voted to impeach him with limited information, and they rushed to judgment.
And we're going to prove that.
We're working non-stop to show what the facts are.
What the facts are.
This rush to judgment was outrageous and will be a black mark on our country.
Right?
Impeachments are supposed to be used for something serious.
Not in this highly politicized, highly partisan operation.
And so the key is that the ten have got to be primaried and they've got to be defeated.
And I think the best thing to do is get great candidates up there and primary them now.
And what we're going to do is provide a platform for that.
So if you're thinking of being a candidate, if you're real and you're dedicated, so political operatives out there, give us a call.
We'd love to platform guys, etc.
And we're very honored.
I think they have the first guy out of the box, Tom Norton.
It's Congressman Meyer.
And I believe he's from the Meyer, the grocery store family, Meyer.
I believe he's been here like three weeks.
So in three weeks, in his judgment, representing a district that was overwhelmingly Trump, can decide to impeach the President of the United States and send it to trial in the Senate, where, if convicted, One, could have led to his removal from office in the last couple days of his administration.
But number two, could lead to him losing Secret Service, losing his presidential library, losing his intelligence, his security clearance so he can't get classified briefings, so he can't talk to foreign leaders, and most importantly, that he could not run again, technically, now this has got to be litigated, but can't run again in 2024.
Essentially, purging him from the political process.
So now we have Tom Norton that stepped forward.
He lost in the primary to Meyer and then supported him as a good guy, supported him and actively campaigned for him in the general election.
Tom, why have you decided, tell people about your background first, but then why have you decided to come forward so quickly and say that you've got a primary, the congressman?
unidentified
Well, I am an Afghanistan war veteran and small business owner.
I've actually worked my way from the ground up.
But the reason why I am running against Peter Meyer, is on Monday, Peter was talking to me about this impeachment, and he hadn't made a decision yet.
And I said, Peter, if you impeach him, we're going to have to go down this road again.
Because I did actively work for him after running against him in the primary.
He spent $2.2 million.
We spent $160,000.
And we performed extremely well.
We scared the living car out of him with very little money.
So if people contribute to us, we'll be able to really destroy him this time on it.
And then on the morning of the impeachment vote, he called me and said, Tom, you may have to put your website back up.
I am voting for impeachment.
And when I tell people that, hey, you can vote for me or you can trust me, that's my integrity on the line.
And I am not going to have my integrity questioned.
The other part is voting for impeachment.
The Constitution of the United States, the first 10 amendments, a majority of them have to do with due process of law.
And the way they did this impeachment in 72 hours is a direct violation of due process, and there is no stretch of the imagination of it.
We need to actually restore the Constitution before what little is left of it is gone.
This is a violation of the concept of a republic as a whole.
steve bannon
Tom, just for fairness, did you explain this to Congressman Meyer in your conversations with him before he took this vote?
Did you explain those problems you had with due process and that this was a rush to judgment?
It kind of reminded us of the Moscow show trials of the 1930s under Stalin.
unidentified
I did express that point of view very, very directly.
So that was expressed.
There was other parts of the conversation.
But when he called me in the morning, he said he couldn't look himself in the mirror if he did not go for impeachment.
And he did relay that in the press.
So that's stuff that anything that he says in the press is the only thing that I will devolve from that.
steve bannon
He's kind of heightened the things.
I know, look, the good people up in Michigan, the tremendous patriots have served their country.
You've got a lot of veterans up there.
You're a veteran.
The thing he came out with the next day, though, kind of threw gas into the fire, said that he feels he's got to buy, I think he said he's purchased bulletproof vests because of threats he's getting.
Does that remind you of people in your district or people up in that district like that?
unidentified
The majority of people in our district are not like that.
But you do have people that may sit there and threaten him, but that's not a controlling of the overwhelming majority.
We're not Antifa.
We're not the far left.
We're not burning cities and shooting cops and little African American children.
We don't do that as conservatives.
We believe that every person can advance in a free and safe society.
So, I mean, if he's getting threats, then he may feel that incredible.
But that is not representative of the 3rd District whatsoever, and I would tell anybody, do not threaten anybody's life whatsoever.
We are a peaceful nation, and we can take back our republic, but we have to fight hard as heck.
steve bannon
No, I think Congressman Meyer ought to turn those over to the authorities.
Anybody that's putting a threat on a congressman for a vote, no matter how much you dislike that vote, should be visited by authorities immediately.
Right?
You can't have that.
You've got to win these.
And we can win.
We're winning.
No need to revert to violence.
You're winning.
So, Tom, tell people how to get access to you, how to get access to social media, how they get access to whatever, and they can make their own judgment, but how they get access to you, because I think this race will be nationalized pretty quickly, because I think there's a lot of interest around there.
People, particularly in the Trump movement, just don't figure out, particularly this one, a guy that was there for a couple of weeks, right?
Loves Trump one day, but then, you know, there for a couple of weeks.
So, how do people get access to you?
How do they get to your sites?
unidentified
Go to www.com.gop.
Again, www.com.gop.
Contribute.
If you've got 20 million, 89 million people watching this podcast and everybody contributes, we will destroy him overnight.
We have the ability to do this.
Every person contributing.
It's time that we fight back, take back this country, verify the vote.
You cannot run a campaign saying that you're going to primary challenge Justin Amash because he's going to impeach the president and ten short days later do exactly that with no due process to the Constitution.
steve bannon
Have you actually called out for the Congressman to debate you, or trying to have a series of debates?
Are you trying to have a series of town halls?
How are you going to actually push your candidacy forward since we're two years away from the election?
How are you going to do it?
unidentified
We're going to keep doing it.
We'll do the debates.
I have asked him because I did call him and say that I was going to file, so then out of disrespect he had called me that morning and warned me I may have to put a website and said I put it back up and we're doing this.
And I have challenged him to Lincoln-Douglas-style debates one-on-one, and I am more than willing to do that.
I'm certain that he may be willing to do that.
It's time we have a fundamental debate in the Republican Party about our principles.
Are we going to stand for the Constitution and the Republic, or are we going to fold to the far left?
steve bannon
Tom, thank you very much for joining us.
Tom Norton, who's announced he's going to primary Congressman Meyer up there in Michigan 3.
And anybody that knows anybody that's trying to threaten the congressman, they've got to be turning right away.
What Tom Norton's going to do is get on the hustings and go debate this guy and expose him for the phony he is, because he's a phony.
Ten days into it to vote for impeachment when he ran against, you know, basically Amash was the crazy libertarian that was always trying to impeach the President.
Okay, let's go back to, let's talk about intelligence.
This all has to be declassified.
They've started, and John Solomon at Real America's Voice and Just the News, his site, has done an incredible job.
But the declassification, this is just the appetizers, right?
We haven't gotten down to the dinner.
So Raheem, Jack, tell me, why is it taking so long?
What do we need to see?
And why are they not doing it quicker?
raheem kassam
By the way, I don't even think this is the appetizers yet.
This is just pulling up at the restaurant and getting a good parking spot, right?
The drop that we heard last night from John Solomon at Just the News, he did a nine-minute podcast just to relay the information he was hearing as information began to be declassified yesterday, and he reported that Fiona Hill, who I think most of the audience will remember from the impeachment process, who was supposed to be one of these dispassionate, disconnected academic types who's just, you know, rises above it all.
steve bannon
She was a witness.
raheem kassam
She was a witness.
In fact, she was one of their star witnesses, let's be honest.
She comes in there with that English accent and gives that sense of gravity about the international nature of all of this.
Hey, we were trying to stop the President from doing this stuff in Ukraine.
Well, it turns out, at least as John Solomon is alleging from this declassification, is that Fiona Hill Was the person who actually introduced Christopher Steele, who put that dodgy dossier together, to his source, to that subsource, which is the person who obviously, for whatever reason and on whoever's dime, was facilitating information that turned out to be not just a little bit incorrect, but totally pulled out of thin air.
And that, again, is just the first little nugget that we got last night of what's being declassified in all of this stuff.
jack maxey
Well, there's some things he can do very easily, Stephen.
I think it will be illustrative about this whole notion of trust the government.
I think that he should totally release all of the FBI files.
He delayed that just a few months ago.
There should be no trouble whatsoever.
That should just be handing over the key and unlocking the box.
And I think the people will see that.
And all of these things together, I think, raise questions about this idea of always trust what they tell you.
You've said it many times before.
They were wrong in the National Defense Assessments for the Soviet Union all the way up until 1989.
They said they were cleaning our clock.
So, I think it's time for the American people to see the evidence and make their own assessment about the government.
steve bannon
There's more, by the way.
You've got Comey, you've got Clapper, you've got Brennan, you've got all these guys that should just release all of it, okay?
But you've also got additional stuff, Rahim.
What else?
Kennedy.
You've got the Kennedy files.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
steve bannon
You have much more up there that the President has been working on.
The UFO files.
I mean, the other UFO files have been reported out.
Listen, the thing that crossed my mind right there is what Madeline Pelton's headline is going to be.
I was not a UFO guy, but I've got to tell you, when I see the Navy, when Naval Air starts putting out Navy combat pilots, starts putting out stuff in the gun site, you know they're getting ready to drop some bad information on you, so let's just get it all out, so you don't have conspiracy theories.
Go ahead, Jack, give us that.
jack posobiec
No, that's actually true.
In addition to, and of course everybody's asking me who's going to pardon, is he going to pardon Assange, Snowden, Ulbricht, etc.
Actually, one of the things that I got from a source at the White House just recently was that the President actually is looking at declassifying a lot of program information on UFOs.
Specifically stuff that goes all the way back to 50s, 60s, there's Central Intelligence Agency programs in there, sightings, and a lot of these, Steve, to your point, sightings and reports that were made by the pilots of U.S.
military aircraft.
So these are people who are trained, they know what they're doing, they know what to look for, and more importantly, they know how aircraft are supposed to be able to maneuver, and they know if something looks not right.
steve bannon
This is, Jack, you know this being Naval Intelligence, my kid brother's a Navy pilot, I was a Surface Warfare Officer, but the guys in Maine that get picked up and on to things, hey, that's whatever it is.
When you have Navy pilots that are showing you gun sight footage, and the Navy pilots are talking amongst themselves, I can't see that far.
raheem kassam
Breaking news, Twitter has just locked my account.
steve bannon
It has locked your account?
raheem kassam
Literally just now.
steve bannon
Yeah, they've got to lock your account.
raheem kassam
As I've been sharing this information about John Sullivan.
steve bannon
But John Sullivan's account's not locked.
unidentified
Nope.
steve bannon
Okay, Dorsey, that's just another thing.
raheem kassam
Jack, can you tweet about that place?
steve bannon
By the way, that's just another thing to the lawsuit.
jack posobiec
Yeah, send me the message.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short break.
Pasoba could be back with us.
Michael Yan's in studio.
unidentified
Raheem Kassam just got locked out of Twitter, so nothing for him to do now.
steve bannon
Jack Maxey, Stephen K. Bannon.
We're going to talk about the impeachment.
By the way, Schumer, bring the trial on!
Bring it!
Remember, there are more tears shed for answered prayers than for unanswered.
Just remember that.
Okay, we're going to take a short break.
We're going to be back in a moment.
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.
Well, yes, Christiane, I mean, clearly we have a crisis underway, a political, a democratic crisis, even a constitutional succession crisis, completely manufactured, as you've been pointing out, and many others have as well.
I have in an interview in the last day or so, you know, called this an attempted coup.
I mean, really what this is, is a self-coup, something that was operating over a longer time frame in plain sight.
Concerned about is, is there 17 Republicans?
Cause it takes 67 to convict.
I hope now that we have the, you know, we have no control over that.
It's being sent to us as I'm understanding on the 19th.
steve bannon
Now I've heard that we could start as early as the 20th or the 21st on this trial.
By the 20th or 21st, we guarantee you, ladies and gentlemen, with your assistance in crowdsourcing, helping us with information, it'll be in front of these guys that it's very low probability they're going to have 17 Republicans that would stand up to convict, and here's the reason.
They're not going to want to hear the evidence that's out there about agent provocateurs and others.
And also, they don't want to hear the information.
You know, Fiona Hill, who worked with Steele, or helped Steele, on the dossier now, as we understand, right, according to the podcast, and declassification, this was getting more of it.
Attempted coup?
Are you kidding me?
Ma'am?
Don't think so.
Homie, don't think so.
Okay?
Just look at the evidence.
Don't spin me with your rhetoric.
Look at the evidence.
Jack Posobiec, you see the President's overnights are coming up.
Overall it's 48% approval with the best tracking poll you got out there.
Walk us through where you think we are with all of this.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, the establishment right now is trying to use this show force at the Capitol and trying to lock in this media narrative, this completely over-the-top narrative of Domestic terrorism in effort to hold on to the final people that are still listening to them and still believing them.
Look, I know people in the DC area that are cancelling appointments out in the suburbs in Virginia and Maryland because they're worried that people in red hats are going to come and be committing indiscriminate terror attacks.
That's how bad it is for CNN viewers right now.
That's how bad they're being gaslit.
And you played the montage at the beginning of the show there to really explain that to people.
The problem is there are so many people now that are checking out of it.
They're completely checked out of that program.
They're completely checked out because they see the agenda.
They know it's not a pro-freedom agenda.
It's not a pro-people agenda.
And that is why you are starting to see now the President's polls tracking up.
Because look, you impeach a guy one time, yeah, maybe he did something wrong.
You impeach a guy two times, it says more about you than it does about him.
jack maxey
I want to remind people we listened to Fiona Hill just a few moments ago talking about the insurrection and how the president is a danger to the United States and she's held up to us as a subjective Harvard educated woman who would never have an opinion that might dictate some of her maneuvers.
Let's not remember that on November 11, 2016, just a few days after the last election, she wrote an article in the Brookings Institute paper, and I'm just going to read the first paragraph because it lets you know exactly where she stands.
This is before the President Donald Trump was even sworn in.
steve bannon
This is 72 hours after he won.
jack maxey
72 hours after he won.
This is in the Brookings Institute magazine.
The U.S.
election came hot on the heels of the 99th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.
The result was the contemporary American version of a Bolshevik revolution.
Donald Trump wrote a wave of popular anger against the establishment, promising to bring down the old guard and seize the White House, like Bolsheviks.
His campaign was big on slogans and short on content.
It goes on further, but I'm so sorry.
unidentified
None of this was ever brought up when she was, you know, there before the Senate and the House, talking about, oh, well, I would never do anything to harm the national security of America.
This is nonsense, Fiona.
You know, look, you were against the president before anybody even came up with impeachment, and then somehow you just fell, you know, a little square peg through a little square hole, and you found your place right in the impeachment thing.
But you were planning that from day one, madam.
That was an amazing impression by the way.
jack posobiec
I thought she was there.
I thought it was here on the show.
steve bannon
Let's just, in fairness, let's just remember, I think it was McMaster's, she was hired to work in the National Security Council of the President over there at the apparatus.
So Jack, closing thoughts, I know we're going to lose you, closing thoughts on where we stand in the investigation, agent provocateurs, more information, and since we pride ourselves in tomorrow's news today, tell us at one o'clock And I think maybe it's Ray's going to stand up there, right?
I would assume, since you know, you've got all this breaking news about how he's briefing the President.
Walk us through what's going to happen at 1.
jack posobiec
Well, I do know that Ray called the President yesterday.
They spoke in the Oval Office about this, and what I was told was that he said to the President that they are pursuing information that Sullivan did not act alone.
Last night, I read through these Discord leaks.
Discord, for people who don't know, is a sort of private chat app.
uh... with checkers with chat uh... rooms that had it sort of invite only you can set up that way and so in those chats you can see him discussing with other people infiltration of the crowd identifying where they were in the crowd talking about it i don't get okay but hang on a second yesterday was the fourteenth of january the director of the fbi has a he has a major reveal Here's his reveal.
steve bannon
Sullivan is an Antifa guy, is a known professional provocateur, who by the way has already been indicted, correct me, already been indicted in Utah.
For the situation out there that took place in June, where a guy died that he filmed, did the whole thing here.
All that's known.
He's known at organizing, he's known he's put out the flyers at the 11th.
On the 14th, Ray calls the President, I got breaking news for you, I got real information.
Oh, that you could send on War Room when Steve and Rudy got into it the other day, when Rudy's a little premature and put it out, but 48 hours ago, I got breaking news for you, Mr. President.
This guy Sullivan, yeah, yeah, you know, here's what we know.
He's working with other people.
We got a big reveal for you.
This is what phonies they are.
You're telling me they didn't know about this on Sullivan on the 4th and 5th, on the 1st and 2nd of January, Jack Dorsey put out a direct threat to the President of the United States on your apparatus called Twitter.
The same one you just blocked Raheem Kassam In this show, because he's putting out information you don't like.
He's putting out the truth.
This is a total and complete scam.
And here's the thing.
The common sense, the grit, the understanding and determination of the American people will not be thwarted by you.
We're going to have some bad days, but it will not be thwarted by you.
That's why the President's at 51.7% in the overnight Rasmussen.
That's why he's trending at 48% of approval, with the biggest beatdown I've ever seen of anyone, at any place, in any time.
Because the American people are sitting there going, like right now, Why is Washington D.C.
a green zone?
And Steve Doocy, instead of crying, you ought to start asking some hard questions.
Fox, although your numbers are imploding, you've got good people over there, including yourself and your son, who happens to be the new White House correspondent.
Why don't you step up and start asking some hard questions?
What's driving all this?
Is this a PSYOP?
Is this information warfare?
Brother Posobiec, Rahim, jump in.
Let's do Posobiec before you leave.
Tell us your thoughts.
raheem kassam
Jack, you figured out why, potentially why they suspended me, right?
I think it was for, what, telling the time?
jack posobiec
Yeah, I was scrolling down through your Twitter and there was a tweet about how in the middle of the night the military arrived and it was the dead of night when the electors were certified and now there's not going to be anyone there.
That was your tweet, essentially, what you said.
raheem kassam
What I said was, What I said was, and it's on the screen here, they intend to inaugurate a president to an empty National Mall surrounded by 20,000 troops after a victory claimed in the dead of night and a certification of electors in the dead of night.
Hashtag democracy dies in darkness.
steve bannon
Such a great heckle.
michael yon
No wonder they blocked you.
steve bannon
Got to love that.
Paselba, give us your closing thoughts, I know we're going to lose you.
jack posobiec
We're seeing one of the largest psychological operations in U.S.
history right now.
We're living through it.
steve bannon
A psychological operation put on by, who's putting it on Mr. Jack Posobiec?
You're a naval officer, a naval intelligence officer, sir.
jack posobiec
You are seeing the establishment, the elites, the powers that be in both parties combining to shut down the MAGA movement, shut down what they view as a populist uprising of deplorables.
They do not want this to go any further.
And because they know they don't have anything better, they're using raw, naked power to literally shut down with military force the nation's capital.
And then also to put gags on the supporters through social media and then shut down people from being able to even discuss this beyond anything other than domestic terrorism.
steve bannon
Jack Posobiec, thank you very much.
How do people track you during the day and how can they find more about you on One American News?
You're the top correspondent over there in a field of great correspondents.
jack posobiec
Thank you, and of course you can always find me there as well as Twitter at Jack Posobiec, J-A-C-K-P-O-S-O-B-I-E-C.
steve bannon
Jack Pasovic, thank you very much.
So Raheem, what are your thoughts on being shut down again by Twitter?
Does anything you said right there deserve to be shut down?
unidentified
Have a quiet Friday, I suppose.
steve bannon
On Sullivan, how can Sullivan still be up, his account still be up, and they put you in the 12-hour box?
You know why?
Because they don't want to hear your voice for another 12 hours.
And you keep doing it, they're going to pull you down permanently.
raheem kassam
Well, I think I really, I'm, you know, probably, not to toot my own horn, but probably hit the nail on the head a bit too hard there with the democracy dies in darkness thing, right?
Turned out not to be a warning from the Washington Post, but a playbook, right?
That's, that's exactly what happened, and that's exactly what they didn't want people recognizing.
steve bannon
The Color Revolution.
Give me that thing about submission before we go to break.
What was it?
raheem kassam
Look, it's incredibly important for people who, especially the people who are demoralized out there, to recognize this is a demoralization operation, right?
What's on your screens, what you're being told, what you're being fed, the tissue of lies all across social media, the deplatforming of not just people, but entire platforms, is designed to make you think there is no hope and there is no chance.
And Steve, the opposite of demoralization, It's not re-moralization, but it should be re-moralization, because a re-moralization's definition is the reintroduction of moral values into society.
And that's what's taking place right now in the live chat across the United States of America.
steve bannon
Okay.
This is the rally point, and you are the folks that are going to rally.
unidentified
Okay?
steve bannon
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We'll be back with Jan Kassam, Jack Maxey, Stephen K. Bannon, in the War Room, full discussion on what a color revolution is, and what we're going through right now.
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.
Not everyone gathered here in Washington today came to celebrate President Trump's inauguration.
Protesters lined part of the parade route, and in some parts of the Capitol, there were confrontations with police.
The anger reaching a boiling point in the nation's capital after President Trump took the oath of office.
Police in riot gear facing off against the protesters just six blocks from the inaugural parade.
Unleashing pepper spray, concussion grenades, all to disperse the crowd.
In burning cars and smashed windows, a small group of protesters dressed in black, their faces covered, armed with hammers and bricks.
Facing off with thousands of officers on site, many in riot gear, confronting them with flashbang grenades and pepper spray.
Before the swearing-in ceremony even began, protesters tried to block checkpoint entrances.
During President Trump's speech, several demonstrators were escorted out of the area.
Several officers injured during the protest today, and more than a hundred people arrested.
Tonight, thousands of protesters remain in downtown D.C., occasionally facing off with police.
We have seen many people injured, both protesters and police officers.
steve bannon
Light it up!
on President Trump's inauguration day.
And the city looked like Beirut, parts of it, right?
What I say is that logically 10 times worse than what happened at the Capitol, 20 times worse than what happened at the Capitol, and basically nothing happened.
Okay?
Just like they burned this city down.
They went and looted everything up in Georgetown.
People were cowering in their homes up Capitol Hill.
People roaming around.
Big gangs of people roaming around.
Nothing happened.
Here, your Greens are... Here it is far worse.
Then, March of 1861, when President Lincoln came to give his first inaugural address, I think we had five or six states succeed, and you were about four weeks away, five weeks away from a shooting war.
Right?
Here, this is the green zone of Baghdad.
And I want to say something about the people commenting and people doing research, you know, Bernie Kerik, you know, 30-year history in law enforcement, in the military.
Raheem Kassam, you were in Kiev with the Maidan Revolution.
You saw it, you reported it as a young man.
You've been here before, you've seen these types of revolutions before, have you not, sir?
raheem kassam
Yeah, I absolutely have, and I was saying to myself the other day that these scenes on Capitol Hill are starting to look like What Kiev looked like during that revolution, you know, you had all these massive barriers being erected all across the city, thousands of police being deployed, thousands of military being deployed, and there were constant kind of justification, non-justification justifications from the state at that point in time.
Hey, we have credible threat this, we have credible threat that, and just slowly and surely ratcheted up and ratcheted up to the point where there was no ability For two sides who had very different political ideas.
One wanted to be in the EU and the other side didn't want to be in the EU basically is what it boiled down to.
They drove a wedge down the center of Ukrainian civil society to the point where there was no possibility of reconciliation between these two sides.
And I truly believe that that's what we're seeing right now.
And the state In conjunction with, or at least turning a blind eye to, all of these accelerationist groups who are trying to force division, and force conflict, and force America to divide.
We're seeing the manifestation of that in real time here in the United States of America.
steve bannon
And by the way, you've got Darren Beatty over at Revolver News, formerly of Duke University, speechwriter for the President, one of the smartest minds in this.
Revolver, every day they're going through, he's the first one to walk through the whole structure of color revolutions.
Jack Posobiec is a naval intelligence officer, speaks fluent Mandarin, is very schooled in what revolutions are, right?
So he can deconstruct the game that's being run here.
Michael, you've been out of the country half of your adult life.
michael yon
Half of my life.
steve bannon
Half of your life.
Covering all these wars, insurrections.
Give your background quickly to people.
michael yon
I was in Special Forces in the Army.
I went to language school, the same one that Jack went to for German.
Trained to parachute into Poland for many years.
Never did it.
Went to, as a war correspondent, I was in Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines, Nepal, Thailand.
Got kicked out of Hong Kong last year.
Long list.
This is my office.
What happened on the 6th at the Capitol is normal day at the office for me.
steve bannon
And you spent most of the summer in Portland.
Was that where you were located?
michael yon
I got there in September.
Oh, you were still overseas.
That's right.
You were in Thailand.
Right.
When they kicked me out of Hong Kong, I went back to my office in Thailand and was heading over to Taiwan.
Our issues kicked off here, so I came here and went straight to Portland, because that's a nexus for Antifa, and began studying them and BLM and the others and spending a lot of time with MAGA, Proud Boys, figuring out who's who in the zoo.
steve bannon
And tell us what accelerationist groups are, what are agent provocateurs, what are clown posses, all that.
I want the terminology.
It's one of the things we try to do.
michael yon
Right.
Three main ideas to keep in mind is that clowns, agent provocateurs, and false flags are not the same, but they overlap quite a lot.
So in the parlance of information warfare, PSYOPs, a clown is somebody who comes up and pretends to be on your side, but then makes you look very bad.
And it says that they're going to do violent actions or does something, you know, just makes you look bad.
That's a clown, right?
And so we see quite a lot of clowns out there.
And then not just clowns.
Clowns, but actually clowning in that parlance.
Now, false flag is when you do something, for instance, Operation Glywots, that you do under your enemy banner.
For instance, wearing their hat, wearing their uniform, under their flag, and you generally do something to make them look bad.
Now, agent provocateurs, APs, often or typically do so under a false flag, but they are not per se False flag operations.
Those are separate but they overlap quite a lot.
So what we saw on the 6th was a massive false flag operation which was facilitated by excellent APs.
The agent provocateurs were expert.
steve bannon
How did the intelligence and the law enforcement apparatus miss it so badly that people asked for the National Guard to be here, people did ask for U.S.
Marshals to be here, how did the Mayor of D.C.
and the people on Capitol Hill, and they fired the sergeant-at-arms, they fired his people, how did we have a situation just, what, eight or nine days ago we had bike racks and a couple of essentially security guards from the Capitol Police and today we're an armed fortress?
michael yon
Well, if we examine the fact pattern, the fact pattern would indicate that they were complicit.
At best, they were incredibly incompetent, but I don't buy that, because the day before I published, I believe there's a 90% chance of violence.
I put that in writing and published it.
steve bannon
Up on your blog?
michael yon
I put it on Twitter, and I was saying it.
I'm very good at predicting violence.
I'm terrible at predicting crowd sizes, but it was very clear that something was going to happen.
steve bannon
Because the Sullivans of the world, you thought, were out there and talking about this rally at 11 o'clock in the morning at the Washington Monument?
michael yon
Before, I started at Washington Monument as well, and then proceeded over to the Capitol, right?
It was very clear.
There are some people that I have on video that appear to be, there are very obvious antithesels.
steve bannon
Have you put all those videos up to date?
michael yon
No, I have not had time because we have been analyzing, going to bed at two and three in the morning watching these videos.
steve bannon
What is the wave of information they're getting?
I take it at one o'clock today they're going to try to walk through some of this.
They're going to have a press conference.
I think the FBI and the Joint Task Force, DOJ, is going to have to come out with something.
But I want to talk about this Reuters story, if you can pull it up, and we have that in Denver.
They've got a headline, Rahim, about that people in this riot wanted to, it's a filing in an arresting document, right?
Reuters has got the screaming headline.
They wanted to capture and assassinate officials.
So you read, I get up in the middle of the night and I say this thing, holy moly, what do we got here?
This is serious.
Now we're going to get down to it.
They've got guys and we're going to find out, you know, I don't care about their political affiliation when they're going to capture and assassinate officials.
You've got to get on top of this and they've got to be dealt with.
And I read down And it's the shamans, it's the shamans.
Do we have in Denver, I also want to play the shaman video.
Now I'm sitting there thinking, hey, they got the bad guys, they got to sell, we're now going to get down to the bad.
Sullivan thing's just broken overnight, now we're getting down to it.
They're on top of things, because I get a headline in Reuters that says they're going to, you know, the people in this rally, I think they like to say the pro-Trump rallies or riots or whatever, they're going to capture and assassinate Yeah, let's go ahead.
raheem kassam
Wait, we've got to do this properly.
The Reuters article headline is this.
U.S.
says Capitol rioters meant to, quote, capture and assassinate officials.
And then it goes on.
Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week's siege on the U.S.
Capitol by President Donald Trump's supporters on Thursday, saying in a court filing that the rioters intended to, quote, capture and assassinate elected officials.
Prosecutors offer the view in a filing asking a judge to detain Jacob Chansley, and we'll get into that in just a second, the Arizona man and QAnon conspiracy theorist who was famously photographed wearing horns as he stood at the desk of Vice President Mike Pence in the chamber of the U.S.
Senate.
Let's get back to Chansley for a second.
Chansley, they call him in this article, actually goes by the name Jake Angeli.
Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley, also known, and I'm reading from Wikipedia here, not exactly a right-wing source, also known as the QAnon Shaman, Q Shaman Yellowstone Wolf, and they talk specifically about how he says that he is an actor and voiceover artist, FYI,
But they don't make any mention of the fact that just in the tail end of 2019, this guy, and we're going to hear from him in his own words in just a second, was a notorious left-wing climate change activist.
steve bannon
Right.
raheem kassam
So let's play this.
steve bannon
Let's play this.
Let's go to Denver and play the tape of our shaman.
unidentified
I'm going to post up some video of you dancing and doing your music.
Let's talk about the spiritual aspect of what you do.
And you'll probably do a little bit here before we get kicked off today.
Sure.
So what I do is I practice something known as shamanism.
And in shamanism, they sing, they dance, they drum, and they inform the community.
They dress up in a way that chases off evil spirits.
The singing and the drumming is about chasing off evil spirits because Sound actually precedes electromagnetic activity.
So when you sing and you drum, especially when you do so really loudly, you end up affecting the quantum realm.
And this has been being done for thousands of years to ward off evil spirits, ward off negative timelines, and to basically bring positive energy.
So part of the reason why I dress this way is because if we were going to have Have like a infiltrator or something like that.
They'd be a witch.
They'd be a sorcerer or something like that on the dark side.
So I practice life magic.
I practice the light side or the positive side of shamanism.
And when they see me, they go, Oh, yeah, we got it.
We got a big fish out here.
We better not try and stir things up.
steve bannon
It just doesn't get any better than that.
The government's got Sullivan, who's already indicted, involved in the death of a guy, a death of a MAGA guy, in Provo, Utah.
He's up on CNN giving interviews, no mention of that.
He's wandering around on Twitter, on Jack Dorsey's platform, threatening the President of the United States.
He's putting out, he's got a rally point at 11 o'clock.
Before the President gets up there to start taking people to Capitol Hill, he's an agent provocateur, and yet the charging document has got the Quantum Realm Shaman, right?
The Quantum Realm Shaman is trying to put the stink eye on what he perceives as the witch of Nancy Pelosi, okay?
This is too ridiculous, and I'm not saying, don't get me wrong, there are definitely some bad guys there.
raheem kassam
Sure.
steve bannon
We gotta find those bad guys.
But don't have the headline, oh, you're gonna charge this guy because he wrote notes, you know, the shaman.
raheem kassam
All he wanted to do was make the quantum realm great again.
steve bannon
We'll be back in a second.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, Speaker Pelosi, I think she's dialed into the war room today, right?
She just announced that she has asked retired Lieutenant General Honore, right, to conduct an investigation into Capitol security.
The General was the guy that stepped in during Katrina, right?
At the end, when they replaced Brownie, I think, he stepped in there, he stepped in a couple of the hurricanes.
A very well-known Army General, so she's asked, Speaker Pelosi's asked retired Lieutenant General Honore to conduct an investigation And would an investigation be good?
And she said, I think it was going to be after 9-11?
jack maxey
Well, she said on CNN that she wants it to be styled after the 9-11 Commission.
And I think that's a perfect opportunity.
steve bannon
Hang on a second.
Except for what?
Except for what?
jack maxey
No, I think it's a perfect opportunity so that we have a model for which Nancy can use to do it.
raheem kassam
We don't have that model.
steve bannon
We don't have a model.
jack maxey
Exactly.
Let's release the entire 9-11 Commission report so that Nancy Pelosi has a roadmap for discovery here and this time let's not keep it from the American people.
steve bannon
First off, let's go to Liz Cheney.
Hey Liz, why don't you call daddy up?
Why don't you call your dad up and say about the 40...
Ugly, it's going to be the 40 pages of the redacted part of the Saudi involvement in 9-11, ma'am.
Let's have a 9-11, but let's release all the information for the American people.
American people are big boys and girls, right?
They can handle it.
Is it 40 pages redacted they took out about the Saudi involvement?
jack maxey
It's been 20 years and the United States citizens have paid, what, four or five trillion dollars as a result of its findings.
steve bannon
Let's see it.
raheem kassam
Oh no, but think about all of the, I mean, think about everything that people still have to live through.
You know, airport checks, security checks, you know, monitoring of your cell phones and everything that's come off the back of that.
And we still don't know.
So hey, Nancy Pelosi can stand up there all she likes and talk about, hey we need a 9-11 commission.
We didn't have a 9-11 commission in the first place.
So when she says this, when she says we need an investigation, what she really means is we need a cover-up.
That's what she means.
And that's why whoever she's appointing, you can tell it's a bad choice.
steve bannon
Here's a question for Liz Cheney.
Should your father have been impeached?
As Vice President, should he be impeached about all the lies we know he told?
Lies?
Not miscalculations.
Stone-cold lies.
The vote you should have had is for your dad to be impeached.
So Liz Cheney, why don't you call Daddy up and ask him, does he have in his files, I think it was 40 pages redacted that were taken out about the Saudis' direct involvement.
Hey, you know who says that?
The federal courts, because they're still suing each other, right?
And the Saudis are trying to hide from the victims, from the victims in the towers, and the victims of the first responders, the brave men and women that went in there.
And the Saudis are doing everything they can to try to block that.
It's been, what, 20 years?
And the people still haven't gotten full restitution from the Saudis.
Liz Cheney, Liz is all going to come up, right?
All going to come out.
It's all going to come out.
Yeah, I think what we want to do is open up all the 9-11 files and let's use that as a predicate.
In the general, we want to get to all the information.
So we've got a couple minutes left, Michael.
Tell us where you think we are in this investigation of what happened and what could you provide?
michael yon
Well, the people that I'm working with in my team, we found, we're going over this 24-7, so we're seeing, we seem to be far ahead of the investigators at the FBI and whatnot.
We're able to identify cells instantly, while live, on the ground, identifying cells, right?
They should have arrested many of these people before they even got on an airplane.
This was, like, for instance, John Earl Sullivan.
We identified him almost instantly.
As, for instance, Arch Lady cell, and What do you think today at 1 o'clock, what do you think they're going to step up and do?
This has got to be part CYA, right?
Because now they're embarrassed by what you guys have put out.
they're way behind the ball game. These people could be out there conducting more kinetic operations. What do you think today at one o'clock, what do you think they're going to step up and do? This has got to be part CYA, right?
steve bannon
Because now they're embarrassed by what you guys have put out. So what do you anticipate?
michael yon
Well, more CYA.
We know how they operate.
They're going to stay true to form.
That's my estimation.
Because they are what they are.
An alligator behaves like an alligator.
raheem kassam
Do we have that, by the way, remember the red image that was going around the other day of people being invited to take weapons to capitals all over?
steve bannon
Do we have that poster in Denver?
Can we put that up?
raheem kassam
The interesting thing is we didn't put it up the other day because it was unclear of what was going on.
Now I think we can be very clear about where this is coming from.
These guys were sharing it.
John Sullivan was sharing it.
He was telling people to do this.
There were a whole bunch of others.
By the way, we put up a whole bunch of what else he was sharing up on the National Pulse this morning.
Other incitements to violence, incitements to attend these rallies.
Whatever you call them, right?
These kind of hijacking of different aims and different protests and merging of different things.
So, you know, I want to be able to put that up.
Now, what I want to put up, Steve, is our new Make the Quantum Realm Great Again ad.
steve bannon
It's unbelievable.
jack maxey
But you know that document that they put out, that red and yellow thing, come to Washington, we're going to take back the country?
They always reveal themselves.
If it was Trump people, don't you think it would be red, white, and blue?
unidentified
When it's communists, it's red and yellow.
steve bannon
By the way, Speaker Pelosi says impeachment, this is breaking news, impeachment managers are solemnly and prayerfully preparing for the Senate impeachment trial.
Hey, you want an impeachment trial?
Bring it!
President Trump's going to be able to get with Rudy and the entire team, put all this information out there, put all the evidence out there, and he's going to have an opportunity, Nancy, because you included in page three of your indictment that he misled people and camaraderie this morning.
He's got to come forward and say, He was 100% honest.
You charged him and said the predicate of this was false and misleading information about the election.
Well, the President, to defend himself, is going to have, I hope, days and days and days to go through each state, to go through each state and see the immaculate deception.
raheem kassam
Just a gentle reminder that one of the impeachment managers has been sleeping with a Chinese spy.
steve bannon
That Saul Well and Fang Fang.
jack maxey
And Louie Gohmert will get the answer to his question from a few days ago.
What did Nancy Pelosi know about the preparations for the defense of the Capitol?
unidentified
When did she know it?
jack maxey
Why did she ask the Sergeant-at-Arms and the House Police to stand down?
What did she know?
We're going to dig all the way to the bottom of this, Nancy, and thank you always for playing to form and opening yourself up.
steve bannon
The truth will set you free.
Okay, we're going to be back at 5 o'clock.
What do you got on National Pulse today?
raheem kassam
A lot.
We're working on a lot of breaking information right now.
steve bannon
You've got to see National Pulse.
Stay on Real America's Voice.
You've got the John Solomon.
We're going to try to talk Michael Yon and then come back in tomorrow.
raheem kassam
People are asking what's Michael's blog site.
steve bannon
What's your blog site?
michael yon
I'm on Patreon at Michael Yon.
Just look up my last name.
Yankee, Oscar, November.
Y-O-N.
steve bannon
He's the best.
I think America's most experienced combat journalist.
Andrew and I knew Michael back in 2006, 2007 at Andrew's blog site when Andrew started putting stuff up for Michael.
Fantastic.
American patriot and so, so glad that you're back in Washington, D.C.
and been able to see what's going on here.
