Well the virus 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, and the worst happens... War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Live from the Green Zone in our nation's capital, you're in The War Room. | ||
| It is Monday, the 18th of January, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| We've got a lot to go through. | ||
| This is approximately a year ago today, or over the weekend is when we started actually broadcasting with Myles Guo and GTV about the pandemic, talking about the pandemic. | ||
| We actually kicked off this show, took over from War Room Impeachment. | ||
| Later in the week, I think on Saturday, January the 23rd, all week we're going to be talking about, obviously, the pandemic, what we've learned over the years, over the year. | ||
| John Frederick's Radio Network, Real America's Voice, up everywhere, on The Dish, in cable, also on every different platform you can go to, except for YouTube, because we refuse to sit there and kowtow to the tech giants, the oligarchs, about what they want us to talk about, about program speech. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| We're going to continue to talk about exactly what is going on in this country and what the issues are and what the truth is. | ||
| And I think our track record is pretty good compared to the mainstream media. | ||
| OK, I want to start off this very important week, historic week in Washington, D.C., with Rabbi Sparrow, who's done such a great job of augmenting so much on the show with his wisdom. | ||
| Rabbi, could you could you lead us in prayer to start the week off, sir? | ||
| Almighty God, we come to you in this time of murkiness and ask that you grant us illumination and the ability to see things clearly. | ||
| Powerful people and thundering forces, both seen and hidden, are pounding patriotic people. | ||
| They declare, you must not believe What your eyes have seen, you must believe that which did not happen. | ||
| Your servant Isaiah prophesied, woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. | ||
| And impure as wholesome and wholesome as impure. | ||
| Riots that we all saw this past summer, we are told, did not happen. | ||
| And what we saw, they insist, was but peaceful. | ||
| A president who did not call for insurrection or for the overthrow of our government Is, we are told, guilty of having done so and must be impeached. | ||
| Failure to agree with the on high opinion makers results in punishment. | ||
| And those who follow their honest conscience are ostracized. | ||
| Help us, dear Lord, resist this verbal coercion. | ||
| So that we stay true to the truths that we know. | ||
| Father in Heaven, Master of the Universe, protect this nation, this America, from those who ruthlessly and cruelly condemn half of this nation and demonize love of country, love of God, family, | ||
| And our founding principles as something evil or racist, calling it whiteness, something considered by them unbelievably as somehow organically sinful. | ||
| America has been a nation devoted to you, Almighty God. | ||
| A land where the American people have placed you first. | ||
| We ask you to not let our spirit dwindle and let us not succumb to those who would make us forfeit the truths we know. | ||
| That we, God forbid, not become vassals to their ambitions of control and absolute power. | ||
| For power belongs to thee, not to them. | ||
| It belongs to the Almighty, the creator of our universe, and the creator of our rights. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Thank you, Rabbi. | ||
| Rabbi Sparrow is the author of Pushback, Reclaiming the Judeo-Christian Ethos, and he particularly talks about the Americanized version of the Judeo-Christian ethos. | ||
| I want to go back in history Rabbi, to kind of give some context and to ask your guidance and wisdom on terms that we're hearing now. | ||
| And one of the things we do in the War Room is make sure people understand the nomenclature, understand terms, so they can then get their own mental map of about what's going on and to contextualize things. | ||
| I want to go back to Germany in the 1930s and talk about the Reichstag fire. | ||
| This is a term that's now being put out there. | ||
| What is the Reichstag fire and what relevance does it have in current America? | ||
| Well, those of us who are familiar with history, we know that the fire at the Reichstag, which was the German parliament in Berlin, it became the planned stepping stone for Hitler to absolutely cancel, ostracize, and nullify his opponents. | ||
| A fire was set on the Reichstag The parliament building, a very imposing building. | ||
| And Hitler used that as a pretext against his enemies, saying his enemies caused that fire and that the only solution for future fires not to happen is to totally outlaw the opinions of the opposition that he blamed for the fire, to nullify them and to cancel them. | ||
| And it is a historical lesson. | ||
| It's happened before. | ||
| The whole idea also of agent provocateurs, where people are brought in and with other people, they do certain damages. | ||
| And there you blame your enemy as a way to now cancel him. | ||
| And this is what we see all of a sudden, because of what happened at the Capitol. | ||
| The President of the United States, still President Trump, not only can he not speak about that event or the election, he's been totally outlawed, canceled, but it goes beyond that. | ||
| Conservative Congress people have been canceled. | ||
| People have been told that if they speak about an election, their opinion, and this is America, you're entitled to your right of opinion. | ||
| Did Nixon win? | ||
| Was there cheating with the Nixon-Kennedy election in 1960 with things with Abraham Lincoln? | ||
| Simply, you have an opinion. | ||
| Maybe some people think that there was some fraud here. | ||
| If you do that, you could lose your job. | ||
| If you even go to a Rally, not a protest, but a rally supporting President Trump. | ||
| You can lose your job. | ||
| You can lose your livelihood. | ||
| People are now being told they can't go on airplanes on a no-fly list. | ||
| They're called domestic terrorists and therefore they have to be cancelled. | ||
| Steve, it's so eerily similar to what happened and also that it's happening so quick. | ||
| It seems as if there was some type of foreknowledge of this. | ||
| For this to unfold so quickly, that from the President of the United States being cancelled, just to even say Mary had a little lamb, to regular citizens who happen to go from West Virginia to a rally supporting Trump, should now be on no-fly lists. | ||
| And Facebook and Google and Twitter and corporations should cancel people who have A vote that is different than them, which is your right. | ||
| What is America if not the right to a vote and the right to express your opinion? | ||
| For this to have happened so suddenly, so quickly, to unfold like this, it suggests a little bit of foreplanning. | ||
| Rabbi, while we're in the 1930s and we're talking about the Reichstag fire, what is this concept of Hitler and the big lie? | ||
| Well, it was Goebbels. | ||
| Who was in the administration, of course, of Hitler, who said that if you say something enough and repeat it over and over, the big lie, sooner or later, people are going to believe it. | ||
| People would become literally brainwashed. | ||
| So you have now, coming from the Democrat Party, from the media, from the left, from socialists, From those who I call the supremacists. | ||
| They feel that they're morally superior to us. | ||
| They're intellectually superior and therefore they're entitled to rule over us and control society, social engineer everything. | ||
| I call them the authoritarian supremacists. | ||
| They are telling us that if you're a Trump supporter, you're a domestic terrorist. | ||
| And they're saying it over and over until people will begin believing it. | ||
| And that way they can completely cancel their opposition. | ||
| They keep repeating this thing that if you are patriotic or you believe in the nation or nationalism, you're a white supremacist, you're a neo-Nazi, you're an inchoate neo-Nazi, and therefore you have no right to be part of the public discourse or even make a living. | ||
| They repeat it. | ||
| And it's believed, especially since those on our side are rather timid and they're not Putting up a vigorous challenge to these things. | ||
| If you say things long enough, Steve, it all started with the Jews. | ||
| They demonized the Jews on every aspect. | ||
| They demonized, they demonized. | ||
| So when it came time to take away the rights of the Jewish people, people said, well, okay, listen, these Jewish people are terrible. | ||
| And that's what's happening now. | ||
| It began already a few years ago. | ||
| They demonized conservatives. | ||
| They demonize movement conservatives and Republicans. | ||
| And so therefore it's easy for people to say, okay, you have no right to freedom of speech. | ||
| You have no right for freedom of assembly. | ||
| You have no right for freedom of religion. | ||
| You don't even have a right to make a living. | ||
| And many people accept it because after all, we've been told that if you are conservative, if you're a patriot, if you believe in America first, then you're somehow a domestic terrorist. | ||
| You are, as a former senator said, guilty of whiteness. | ||
| They're even having us believe that being white is somehow an original sin. | ||
| And if it's repeated long enough, as Goebbels told us, people eventually believe it. | ||
| It's called the big lie. | ||
| We've got about two minutes. | ||
| Your book is Pushback, Reclaiming the American Judeo-Christian Spirit. | ||
| You can get it on Amazon. | ||
| I recommend everybody in this audience order this book. | ||
| It's by Rabbi Sparrow, Pushback, Reclaiming the American Judeo-Christian Spirit. | ||
| Rabbi, what would you say now? | ||
| How do we not just push back, how do we fight back on this? | ||
| Now, I just want to mention that right now, you cannot get it on Amazon. | ||
| Because it's, thank God, it's all been sold out. | ||
| But you can get it on our website, which is Caucus for America. | ||
| Caucusforamerica.com. | ||
| You can order the book on our website. | ||
| And we're, we began 25 years Caucus for America to preserve this unique historic American civilization. | ||
| The first thing that you can do is speak. | ||
| Don't be afraid to speak the truths you know. | ||
| That is your birthright as an American. | ||
| The first thing is don't become so fearful that you self-muzzle yourself or that you cancel programming or articles because of fear. | ||
| That is a self-voluntary muzzling. | ||
| You cannot do that. | ||
| You cannot do that as an American. | ||
| And you cannot do that as a person created in the image of God. | ||
| What makes the human being special is his capacity to think, thoughts, and to express those thoughts. | ||
| That is what it means to be created in the image of God. | ||
| If you stop doing that voluntarily out of fear, not only have you cancelled your Americanism, but you've cancelled your being created in the image of God. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Today is so packed, we're not going to be able to do many cold opens, which we normally do. | ||
| We've got so much information to go through. | ||
| Joe Biden's team put out, over the weekend, put out a bunch of memos to the news organizations, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, about their first 100 days and particularly how they're going to fire off the football at noon on Wednesday with a slurry, I think 12 executive orders, legislation coming forward. | ||
| Biden is talking about his chief of staff, Ron Klame, I think it is, is talking about four intersecting crises. | ||
| And if you've followed war and pandemic over the past year, these will be pretty familiar. | ||
| It's a global pandemic that's triggered a financial and economic crisis, which we think they took from us, lifted from us. | ||
| On top of that, you have a climate crisis and then you have a social justice and racial crisis and that their legislative drive and their executive order move is to basically cancel the entire work or as much of the work of the Trump administration as they can in the first 24, 48, 72 hours. | ||
| Which many administrations do. | ||
| It's Bush and Obama and Bush to Clinton, Obama to Bush, and then we obviously did that in the first hundred days with the Obama executive orders. | ||
| So I want to bring in now Steve Cortez. | ||
| We've got, by the way, later in the show, Richard Burris is going to come and talk about polling. | ||
| We're actually staying on the legitimacy of Joe Biden. | ||
| Also, the support for President Trump, the support for Joe Biden, all of it. | ||
| We're going to have Chris Chmielewski from Numbers USA, who is with us down at the border at the wall on all of our seminars. | ||
| He's going to come on and talk about the immigration bill. | ||
| And we've got Jack Posobiec, big breaking news over the weekend. | ||
| Radcliffe, DNI finally kind of put out the report that talked about the Chinese involvement in the 2020 election. | ||
| Not a lot of details, but internally said that the CIA had not want to put this in the report. | ||
| You coupled that with what Pompeo put out about the Wuhan lab. | ||
| On Friday, it's pretty explosive, so we're going to get to all that and hopefully get Frank Gaffney wrote a great piece in the National Pulse for him about designating the Chinese Communist Party as a transnational criminal enterprise. | ||
| President Trump doing that before he leaves office. | ||
| And now I want to go to Steve Cortez. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're missing, you're forgetting the most important part. | |
| It would be great if your mic, is your mic on? | ||
| It is on. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| I just got to get my volume up in my ear. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I just want to tease this real quick for the audience that hasn't seen the write-up already, is that over the weekend I was wondering, hey, why isn't anybody, why aren't any of the kind of radicalization experts looking into, you know, who these people were that stormed the Capitol and how they got radicalized to the point where they thought that was okay? | ||
| I'm talking about the people who were right at the front of this thing and violent about it, and then I realized, oh wait, I am a radicalization expert! | ||
| So I went through it myself, and I've got really incredible things to show the audience, so stick around for that too. | ||
| National Pulse on fire this weekend. | ||
| Let's bring in Steve Cortes. | ||
| So Steve, you know, people that know you know that you're an expert in finance, Wall Street, you've traded in the pits in Chicago, you're also the, I think, one of the smartest, if not the smartest, of tying together, connecting all the dots with the MAGA movement and the populist economics, all of it. | ||
| You've seen these four intersecting crises. | ||
| Pandemic, economic and financial, climate crisis, and later on top of that, a social justice or racial crisis. | ||
| And Bloomberg and others have talked about the types of executive orders that are going to be coming and the legislation. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So in separating out the signal from the noise, give us the overall picture. | ||
| And then what do you think the driving what's going to be driving Biden coming out of the gate? | ||
| And what should we look for? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| See, the reality is, unfortunately, you know, elections have consequences, as we've said, of course, over the last several years. | ||
| It's certainly true for this coming year ahead, 2021. | ||
| And Joe Biden right out of the gate, not surprisingly, and his team. | ||
| And by the way, I think his team is far more driving this than the president elects himself. | ||
| They are trying to carpet bomb essentially the America First agenda. | ||
| And we now have to be incredibly cunning as a movement because we are now the opposition party. | ||
| And we no longer have the luxury because we're not in power, we're not in control of the Senate, we're not in power in the White House. | ||
| So we don't have the luxury of being able to fight on all fronts, Steve. | ||
| So I think this is critical. | ||
| We have to really strategically pick our battles. | ||
| And here's, I think, should be the criteria. | ||
| What is the most important issue to take on? | ||
| What is the most pressing? | ||
| And in the case of Biden, the most dangerous move that he intends to make quickly in his term in office. | ||
| And then number two, though, not just what's the most. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was lost. | |
| Yeah, it got a freeze, so we've got to get the court as disaster. | ||
| We may have you back, Steve. | ||
| Did we lose connections as you hear us? | ||
| Yeah, lost. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I tell you, hit, hit, hit the reset on that. | ||
| Just start from the top. | ||
| I really believe that what we're unfortunately seeing now from. | ||
| from the Biden we're going to see in the next few days from the Biden administration is essentially a carpet bombing of the America first agenda. | ||
| We have to be very strategic though, those of us in the movement, in how we try to counter this, because now that we're not in power, we don't control the Senate, we don't have the White House any longer, we have to be very strategic about how and where we fight. | ||
| I think it's critical from here that we assess what are the. | ||
| He can do that by executive order. | ||
| What are the most pernicious moves that the president-elect is going to make in coming days? | ||
| And number two, this is critical, where can we actually win? | ||
| Where can we effectively counter them? | ||
| So for example, I would say the Paris Climate Accord, rejoining it. | ||
| Even though I think that's disastrous policy, there's very little we in the opposition can do. | ||
| He can do that by executive order. | ||
| However, when I look at their agenda, to me, by far the most dangerous move that they're planning to make is effectively moving this country to open borders. | ||
| There is a lot of reporting about meetings that they are already having the incoming administration with pro-open borders advocates. | ||
| Including big business as well as radical elements of the Democratic Party. | ||
| Of course, they never use the term open borders, but that's the reality. | ||
| They want to give full citizenship to every illegal migrant presently in this country. | ||
| Corporate media always says that's about 11 million. | ||
| Yale and MIT studies tell us it's at least twice that many. | ||
| So it's 20 million plus illegal migrants who trespass into this country and are here illegally right now, making them full citizens, giving them full voting power in the United States. | ||
| Plus, and in the near term this might be even more dangerous for our country, Steve, plus incentivizing millions of more trespassers to cross our border by eliminating the stay in Mexico policy and by providing generous incentives such as taxpayer-funded health care for new illegal migrants to cross our border. | ||
| We know at least one large caravan has already formed. | ||
| Having said all of that, okay, as terrible as that scenario is, Here's the reality. | ||
| While we still have the filibuster in the United States Senate, and we may not always have it, okay, so to borrow a line from Frankie Pentangeli in Godfather II, he said, let's hit them now while we still have the muscle. | ||
| Well, while we still have the muscle in the Senate, those of us in the America First movement need to To fiercely pressure the Republican senators, the 50 Republican senators, to use the filibuster to oppose this move to mass amnesty and to open borders. | ||
| I think if we do that, we will energize the movement. | ||
| We will stymie quickly a lot of the Biden agenda and will produce a lot of momentum to retake the House in 2022. | ||
| I want to go back, and particularly, can you rewind on what you told us a week ago about how well President Trump did in the Hispanic communities down in Texas, Arizona, and California with his America First MAGA agenda with working class Hispanics. | ||
| I want to go through that, make sure people understand, there's a lot of support here from the Hispanic community, particularly the working class Hispanic community that is hurt by open borders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So listen, there are 100 Hispanic majority counties in the United States. | ||
| And according to Politico, President Trump got 44% of the vote in those 100 counties. | ||
| That's up 12% from just 2016. | ||
| Specifically on the border, the President's performance there is really stunning. | ||
| We saw moves in four years that you really never see, just seismic shifts electorally, the kinds of things that are unprecedented in politics. | ||
| And let me be Star County, which is the most Hispanic county in America on the Texas-Mexico border. | ||
| It's 96% Hispanic. | ||
| The president didn't quite win it, but he only lost it by 5%. | ||
| He had lost it in 2016 by 60%, Steve. | ||
| He had lost it in 2016 by 60%, Steve. | ||
| So there was a 55% swing in only four years. | ||
| Right next to Starr County is Zapata County, which is 86% Hispanic. | ||
| The President did win Zapata County. | ||
| He won it by 5%. | ||
| That was a 38% improvement on margin versus 2016. | ||
| And by the way, I'm not just cherry-picking a couple counties. | ||
| You can literally go all along the U.S.-Mexico border, from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Pacific Ocean, even including the counties in California, Imperial County, In California, for example, the president improved his share dramatically, up 10% on margin there. | ||
| So these working class, Hispanic, gritty border counties, a lot of bad hombres down there said, you know what? | ||
| Secure borders work for us. | ||
| Economic nationalism is working for us. | ||
| It's working for all working class Americans for labor. | ||
| A lot of Hispanics, of course, fit that. | ||
| definition and they turned in mass to President Trump. | ||
| It's really got to worry, I think, a lot of smart Democratic operatives out there when they look at the numbers that we racked up along the border. | ||
| And it was really consequential in swing states also that aren't border states, places like Florida, where we split the vote among Hispanics. | ||
| Florida was supposed to be a state that was very much in doubt. | ||
| In fact, it was not. | ||
| The president won it by almost 400,000 votes, I think, for two reasons. | ||
| Number one, they have clean elections there, unlike their neighbor state of Georgia, but then number two, it's how well we did among Hispanics. | ||
| Whether it's the Cubans of South Florida, though, or Mexican-American citizens who live in the Rio Grande Valley, this is a burgeoning movement. | ||
| Hispanics are not soft on border issues, not soft on migration. | ||
| This is a winning issue. | ||
| It's the right policy, but it's also the winning issue politically for the movement. | ||
| Why have we not been heralding that, this amazing, whether it was in South Florida with anti-communism and capitalism, and on the border with populism and economic nationalism and border security? | ||
| Why have we, in the Republican Party, why have we not been out there? | ||
| I know we have on the show because of you and your analysis, and you're one of the leaders in this. | ||
| Got about 30 seconds, and I need you to stay with the break, but why have we not been pounding the drums on this? | ||
| Well, Steve, we need to. | ||
| It's a huge miss. | ||
| And I'll give you one reason why. | ||
| Because unfortunately, there's a lot of squished Republicans, people like Marco Rubio and John Cornyn. | ||
| They are dying to actually join with Joe Biden as President of the United States for open borders and for expanding legal immigration, for tolerating illegal migration to this country. | ||
| So that's one of the reasons. | ||
| But you're exactly right. | ||
| We should be shouting from the rooftops about how well we did on November 3rd among Hispanics. | ||
| And what it portends for the future as a multi-ethnic, cross-racial war. | ||
| Steve, Steve, Steve, we'll be right back in one minute. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| We have Steve Cortez. | ||
| So, let's continue on with the signal, not the noise. | ||
| As you see the Biden, you know, the four converging crises, of which they call it. | ||
| And remember, as Rahm Emanuel told him early on, never let a crisis go to waste. | ||
| You're seeing it first being driven by redoing the electorate, right? | ||
| With 20 million illegal aliens now becoming some pathway to citizenship, correct? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| No, and listen, again, you know, in terms of signal from noise, we don't have the luxury now because we're not in power, neither in the Senate nor in the White House. | ||
| So we don't have the luxury of fighting on every single front. | ||
| So let's not major in the minors. | ||
| I think that is very important. | ||
| There are going to be a lot of things that we don't like, a lot of policy which we find annoying, which we find destructive in the near term, but policies that we can reverse once we take power back, once we take the House in 2022. | ||
| And then the presidency in 2024, hopefully with President Trump. | ||
| If not with him, then somebody of his ilk, of his America First approach. | ||
| So here's my point. | ||
| Let's fight the systemic issues that are irreversible, such as granting citizenship to tens of millions of new Americans and turning our border into an instant crisis. | ||
| A crisis, by the way, that would affect all those verticals that Ron Klain is talking about. | ||
| A porous border, a border crisis, which we are effectively inviting, we as a country, not our movement, but the United States is inviting with Joe Biden's policies, would be catastrophic for the economic security of the United States, for our national security, and yes, even for our health security. | ||
| You know, it's never a good idea for this country to tolerate porous borders. | ||
| But least of all, in a time of pandemic, when we are striving to gain control of our healthcare system, as well as get our economic footing, Solid again in this country. | ||
| So let's fight as hard as we can in the places where it's most critical. | ||
| And again, where we have a legitimate chance of success. | ||
| I believe that these Republican senators, although very few of them have backbone, I believe that they can be pressured. | ||
| You know, it's terrible that so many GOP senators don't have principle, but the good thing about them not having principle, Steve, is that they succumb to pressure. | ||
| So if we put an enormous amount of pressure on them, In the coming days and weeks to protect the sovereignty of the United States at our border. | ||
| I believe, again, while we still have the filibuster, we have to use it while we still have that muscle. | ||
| While we still have the filibuster as an effective weapon, let's stop that. | ||
| I would also say this, Steve, another place where Republican senators can show some grit if they can find their backbone, is in a Senate trial of the president. | ||
| Because I, for one, although this impeachment was a complete sham, I, for one, now invite the trial. | ||
| It would be unjust to effectively indict the president, which is what an impeachment is, and then not afford him the opportunity in open court, as it were, which is what the Senate becomes, to defend himself. | ||
| And not just that court, but in front of, more importantly, in the court of public opinion. | ||
| So the Republican senators there too can show real resolve and can show that the America First movement is hardly done. | ||
| In fact, it is a young movement just because these swing states. | ||
| stole this election away from President Trump. | ||
| By no means means that there was any repudiation of the America First movement. | ||
| In fact, we see very much the opposite when we look at every race other than the presidency in the United States. | ||
| Republican senators need to get that message loud and clear. | ||
| They need to look at today's NBC poll and see that the president's approval rating among Republicans did not move at all. | ||
| It remains historic in the 90% area, depending on which poll you look at, 89%. | ||
| in the NBC News survey. This party has been transformed by Donald Trump into an America first workers movement. But we do have a problem with a lot of legacy office holders who wrongly think that they can take the party back to a 2015 and prior corporatist globalist agenda. | ||
| We're not going to let that happen with the power of our movement, the power of the masses upon Republican senators. You know, the one thing that rattles in the corporate is interest in the GOP is the strength that President Trump showed among working class Hispanics in these Texas, Arizona, and California communities. | ||
| I mean, those numbers are absolutely stunning. | ||
| It's one of the reasons nobody wants to talk about it. | ||
| It shows you where the populist and economic nationalist policies of border security and jobs, bringing high value-added jobs back, doing the NAFTA II, right, or USMCA II, or USMCA, plus the tariffs and the deals with China, right? | ||
| People understand. | ||
| That's why with African-American males, you're starting to get traction. | ||
| That's with Hispanic, and particularly Hispanic males, you're starting to get traction. | ||
| Because they understand, Steve, they understand, Steve, these policies work for them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Listen, I think, too, in regards to these border counties, you know, I really think there were three legs. | ||
| It was sort of a triangle of policies that worked. | ||
| The first was toughness on the border. | ||
| And again, people who actually live with the consequences of porous borders, they know far better than some limousine liberal who lives in Greenwich, Connecticut. | ||
| They know the actual reality of what a porous border means for them. | ||
| Customs and Border Patrol, by the way, the most Hispanic agency by far, of the United States federal government. | ||
| So toughness on the border, I think, is one critical leg. | ||
| Then the second, as you talked about, is economic nationalism, which has been working for labor in America, regardless of your color or your ethnicity, whether you're white or black or purple. | ||
| The working class results that have been produced by toughness on trade, by tax and regulatory relief, By re-energizing the dynamism of small business in this country. | ||
| Hispanics, by the way, the most entrepreneurial demographic in America by a long shot. | ||
| That has been really critical in growing the America First movement. | ||
| So I think economic nationalism is the other part. | ||
| And then the third part, I would say, of that triangle is also defending traditional values, particularly as it relates to religious liberty. | ||
| That was a critical success of this president. | ||
| Unfortunately, the incoming president, who portends to be a Catholic, he has promised explicitly to again target the wonderful, holy women of the Little Sisters of the Poor. | ||
| When he was vice president, he brought down all of the fury of the United States federal government upon this wonderful group of women simply trying to live lives of charity and authentic faith. | ||
| They won, thankfully, with the backing of the Trump administration. | ||
| They won before the high court that very day. | ||
| candidate Joe Biden, now president-elect, issued a statement saying that he was going to target them yet again. | ||
| That is not a winning issue among working-class Americans, many of whom still really cling, yes, cling, Barack Obama, to their faith, to their Bibles, just as they do cling to their guns and the Second Amendment. | ||
| Steve, I wanna go to his other two crises. | ||
| You know, you're a financial expert. | ||
| This intersection of the pandemic and Biden's response to the pandemic and how it's inextricably linked with the financial plan he's going to put forward. | ||
| You know, you and I have talked now for almost a year about the spannings and the bridges that you need to get over this economic chasm of the drop of aggregate demand, and yet we're still here a year later. | ||
| Walk us through the signal From the noise of what Biden, the direction you think Biden's going to take? | ||
| Well, here's my really big worry is that the United States, Steve, when we look at the globe, the United States has been the economic outlier. | ||
| So we are, of course, the exceptional nation in every way. | ||
| That's a structural truth. | ||
| But it's also been the economic truth recently. | ||
| And we see it, for example, in global equity market performance. | ||
| The globe has rallied well off of the spring lows. | ||
| But the United States, by far, most of all. | ||
| So, we have really been an island of growth amidst a world which is still really languishing, particularly when we look at Europe. | ||
| You only need to look at the bond markets, for example. | ||
| Much of the developed world has either 0% interest rates or actually negative interest rates. | ||
| That is capital markets. | ||
| Those are the bond markets of the world telling us, signaling to us clearly that bond markets have no confidence in growth or in pricing power in those economies. | ||
| So, to connect it back to the United States in this election, What worries me is we're going to lose our economic exceptionalism because we're going to lose the driving forces of the Trump agenda, particularly when it comes to regulation. | ||
| I think tax hikes are a huge problem, but I think even worse than that is the looming threat of re-regulation, that we would see this government leviathan once again. | ||
| Hold enormous sway over the American economy. | ||
| And Steve, here's the thing. | ||
| Here's why big business doesn't mind. | ||
| Big business can deal very effectively with regulation. | ||
| As a matter of fact, big business often likes and even writes regulation to protect and enhance It's status regulation is terrible for small to medium sized firms for the up and comers, the American strivers, the entrepreneurs, somebody who just bought two pickup trucks to start his own business. | ||
| Those are the people who are punished most by regulation. | ||
| Unfortunately, the Biden economic agenda. | ||
| Threatens a massive increase back to where we were during the Obama Biden administration, which were such slow growth days to give you a stat, by the way, to prove my point during those entire eight years. | ||
| Now, they inherited a terrible economy. | ||
| OK, but I'm not going to cherry pick and only give you the first couple of years during the entire eight years of their administration. | ||
| Only, and this is from Federal Reserve data, only the top 10% of wage earners saw their net worth grow during those eight years. | ||
| The rest of America, 90% of America, saw their net worth decline over the eight years that Biden was vice president. | ||
| For African Americans, it was even worse. | ||
| 30% median household decline in household net worth. | ||
| 30% lower over the eight years. | ||
| That Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States. | ||
| That is the real world, tangible destruction that is wrought by the kind of policies, corporatist, globalist policies that are pursued and now in combination with open borders, to make it even worse, that will be pursued by Joe Biden. | ||
| This is why we can and must still take a stand. | ||
| It has to happen in the United States Senate. | ||
| We've got to rely on these senators. | ||
| Now, I don't think we can rely, again, on just their internal intrinsic principles to save our country. | ||
| We have to apply pressure to these senators that it's time for them to stand and protect the Constitution, protect our national security, our economic well-being, and even our health. | ||
| I want to go back to the, we're going to talk later and then at the 5 o'clock show about the Senate trial, because it looks like they may be taking a different direction. | ||
| I think you'd agree with me, this is a full opportunity for President Trump to put forward, one, he never instigated any violent insurrection to take over the Capitol. | ||
| That can be laid out very, very clearly. | ||
| In addition, you can go through the receipts of all the six states and actually have a formal venue to present your evidence. | ||
| Is that what you would like to see? | ||
| Is that what you think is necessary? | ||
| Because I think we're getting the signal from Lindsey Graham and others that they want a quick trial to go through about process and about how he didn't have due process and then maybe take a vote and move on. | ||
| Where do you stand on this? | ||
| No, Steve, listen, I want a full trial. | ||
| You know, number one, I think it's just, you know, again, he has been effectively indicted. | ||
| That's what an impeachment is. | ||
| He deserves the chance to fully defend himself. | ||
| And to your point, I think we can quickly dismiss the ludicrous incitement charge. | ||
| All you actually need, all his defense team needs, is the actual text of what he said on the mall that day, as well as combined with the timeline. | ||
| And I know Rahim's done such great work On disputing, of course, the timeline of that day. | ||
| But to me, even more important for the future of the movement, for the president himself and his viability into 2024, and then also for the success of the movement, is to your point, Nancy Pelosi gravely erred, I believe, in including in that impeachment resolution as a predicate that the president supposedly spread false information regarding the invalidity of election results in these contested states. | ||
| The fact that she included that predicate means that we get to then contest it. | ||
| We get to prove in a court of law which again the Senate effectively becomes a court and in the court of public opinion before the world we get to finally present in a methodical way with I hope a stellar defense team as well as outside of those proceedings people like me and you on television and over on the internet we get to present in a methodical way the statistical reasons why the vote was invalid as well as | ||
| The serious constitutional violations that occurred to produce these disputed results. | ||
| We will finally get what just hasn't happened so far because the Supreme Court particularly took the cowardly way out and punted. | ||
| We will effectively get to finally litigate the results. | ||
| And by the way, as far as what does the defense team, I mentioned for the incitement charge, all the defense team really needs is the text of the president's speech. | ||
| What does the defense team really need in terms of defending against the charge? | ||
| That the President spread falsehoods about the election. | ||
| We need the Navarro Report. | ||
| All three sections of the Navarro Report. | ||
| Everything we need is in there to make a compelling case to the American people that this election was, in fact, a fraud perpetrated upon the people. | ||
| Steve, you've got the Daily Radio Show. | ||
| Real quickly, about 15 seconds, what's your social media handles? | ||

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, there's a lot of news breaking in Washington, D.C. | ||
| about, we're in the green zone. | ||
| We're going to be bringing a lot of that to you. | ||
| Raheem, real quickly, give us an update. | ||
| Yeah, so a lot of people have noticed online and we're getting breaking news right now about this smoke that's billowing behind the Capitol building. | ||
| I wonder if we can get some of the images up as we see them on social media right now from the team in Denver. | ||
| But it's not clear exactly what's taking place, although it seems to me from some of the imagery we're getting of behind the Capitol building, that this may be one of the homeless camps that has grown underneath the 395 highway that's been set on fire. | ||
| We've talked about the homeless camps up on Northeastern Capitol Hill. | ||
| There's been this one that's growing. | ||
| I actually drove past this one yesterday and saw it. | ||
| And a lot of these homeless camps are really guys that either Antifa or others are camping at in, correct? | ||
| That's exactly, I mean that is my suspicion and we actually have some evidence to show that it's not homeless people there. | ||
| Now what their political affiliation is I'm not sure, but I think we can guess, but At least what we know is, we don't have any evidence that they are homeless people. | ||
| In fact, they have told our cameras that they are not homeless people. | ||
| There is some other breaking information as well on the other side of town, downtown, there are some government buildings right now that are seeing similar things, however, and being evacuated as a result. | ||
| We'll bring you the breaking news as we get it. | ||
| Hold it, they're actually, you're sure they're being evacuated? | ||
| I am sure. | ||
| Okay, we're going to bring it to you in a second. | ||
| We want to introduce Chris Chemelinsky from Numbers USA. | ||
| We're trying to get the posse ahead of the curve here, right? | ||
| We're going to come back to all the things about the National Guard and the checkings of what's going on in the Capitol, but we want to get in front of you what's going to happen on Wednesday afternoon. | ||
| Chris, Numbers USA is the top organization that's all over this. | ||
| It looks like they're going to drop or try to drop a big immigration bill. | ||
| To basically make 20 million, or they're saying 11, but up to 20 million illegal alien citizens. | ||
| Can you walk us through that? | ||
| What should we be prepared for? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| We started to learn a little bit about this last week and then got a little bit more information over the weekend that it sounds like, as you said, once Biden is sworn in on Wednesday afternoon, he's going to submit a proposal to Congress that includes, it's going to be similar to the Gang of Eight bill back in 2013. | ||
| 2013 it's going to grant an amnesty to approximately 11 million illegal aliens Probably more depending we haven't had a real accurate count on what that number actually is right now What is numbers numbers usa numbers usa's best get your best guess of what that number is right now is what? | ||
| Uh, I would say it's probably somewhere. Um Between 11 and 15 million heading towards 15 million if I had to guess We haven't had a statistic from the government or the census or any other organization in five or six years and with border surges and things like that it's had to have increased. | ||
| But the one thing, the one key thing, it's going to also increase legal immigration, but one key difference between this and the Gang of Eight Bill in 2013, there wasn't a whole lot of enforcement in the Gang of Eight Bill, but at least there was some enforcement in there. | ||
| It doesn't sound like there's going to be any sort of enforcement in this, which is hopeful that we may be able to stop this atrocity from becoming law. | ||
| How should people get ahead of this? | ||
| What do you have up on your site? | ||
| How can people get more knowledge? | ||
| Send them to your site. | ||
| Tell us what your Twitter feed is. | ||
| Posse's got to be on top of this because this is going to come fast and hard and people have to be very aware, particularly since we're now winning in these border counties down in Texas, we're winning in Southern Arizona, California. | ||
| The populist program is getting traction with Hispanic working class people. | ||
| So how do people get more information about this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, yeah. | |
| Again, we just learned about the fact that this is going to come quick over the weekend, so we're in the process of posting actions. | ||
| If you're not a member of NumbersUSA already, you can visit us at numbersusa.com. | ||
| Click on the green button up top that says Join Us, and then we'll have actions so you can send messages to your members. | ||
| Congress will be following this thing real close. | ||
| All the developments. | ||
| We'll be posting phone information to call your members of Congress once this thing really starts to move after Wednesday. | ||
| and we'll be keeping people updated. They can also follow us on Twitter at numbersusa.com. We're also, or I'm sorry, just at numbersusa. We're also, same thing, we're on Parler once that gets back up also at numbersusa, but probably the best place to find updates is on Twitter at numbersusa. Chris, we're going to have you back. | ||
| We're going to do a deep drill down this. | ||
| Those of you that were not around for the epic battles of 2013, we're going to get everybody up to speed. | ||
| But these were some of the most biggest battles that were fought in Congress in this entire decade. | ||
| And Numbers USA was at the forefront of that. | ||
| We'll get you back on here, Chris. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You're doing God's work over there. | ||
| So we've got to get everybody up to speed on this. | ||
| I realize today you're eating their spinach. | ||
| The audience is eating their spinach. | ||
| You're going to have to eat some spinach, folks. | ||
| It's coming on Wednesday afternoon, OK? | ||
| I've been saying this. | ||
| Don't don't think some fantasy is going to happen. | ||
| And it's not. | ||
| This is coming on Wednesday afternoon and it's going to be coming hard. | ||
| This is the rally point. | ||
| We've got to walk through this, make sure people understand it, make sure we mobilize, mobilize, mobilize. | ||
| People have got to the immigration bill and other things that Biden and the Biden administration are going to be doing. | ||
| These four intersecting crises, they've already kind of laid out their overall strategy. | ||
| See where we're going. | ||
| Rahim Ghassan, updates. | ||
| Yeah, and that's not to say that there was never a chance, by the way. | ||
| We were champions of that chance, the distinction being that people like Mark Short, who by the way wanted to hire Frank Luntz, I've got breaking news on that coming later, didn't want Mike Pence to do Mike Pence's job, and you saw the words that changed as per the parliamentarian there in the Senate, and we have more details on that and we'll be publishing more details on that. | ||
| One thing I wanted to say about this, Chris is a guy who comes at things from a very level-headed and conservative perspective but I often think when it comes to immigration we also have to look at the worst-case scenarios because actually the worst-case scenarios happen to become reality especially if Democrats control all parts of government and and I left unchecked and I did some studies on this a couple of months back and 2018 Yale study showed that the illegal immigrant population was already past 22 million right now | ||
| And then I went and cross-referenced that with some White House data that showed additional 3.5 family members it came into the US through chain migration, which means really, realistically, what we're talking about is an upper end of 77 million new people under a Joe Biden plan. | ||
| That's a worst case scenario. | ||
| I think we need to get our heads around that number, for real. | ||
| We're going to walk through that so people understand it. | ||
| And remember, the MAGA program, the America First program, President Trump's economic nationalism and border security Is winning, right? | ||
| We're attracting a whole new element to the Republican Party and the MAGA movement in those southern border counties. | ||
| We'll rebuild the wall to augment what President Trump is doing. | ||
| You see, you go down there, those folks want security. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Got so much breaking news coming out of Washington, D.C. | ||
| We're going to come back to that. | ||
| Also, Richard Barris, where do we really stand with the polls? | ||
| How popular is President Trump? | ||
| What's his support? | ||
| And what percentage of people in the country think Joe Biden actually will be legitimate when he takes the oath of office on Wednesday? |
