Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| 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. Banham. | ||
| It was one month ago this weekend that a terrorist MAGA mob fed lies for months about the election stormed the Capitol, an insurrection that cost at least five lives, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. | ||
| There have been, as of Wednesday, 181 people charged related to the riot, Justice Department announcements and court documents show. | ||
| Zachary Allum, shown here allegedly trying to break through the doors to the Speaker's lobby, Kevin Seyfried here with the Confederate flag. | ||
| Rachel Powell shown here with the bullhorn, allegedly giving instructions. | ||
| That none of them are wearing masks correctly is a testament not only to the fact that they also ignored health guidelines during the pandemic, but they did not think that they would be held accountable for their actions. | ||
|

|
We're going to walk down to the Capitol. | |
| We here at State of the Union were warning about what we were afraid might happen. | ||
| It turns out when a major political party coddles and enables and supports public figures who lie rapaciously and incessantly and also tolerate threats against those who challenge those lies, that storm of lies and indecency is strengthened and unleashed and it cannot be controlled. | ||
| That was one month before the attack. | ||
| Today, one month and one day after the attack, after that storm hit the Capitol, we are again warning. | ||
| If there is no accountability and no attempt by the Republican Party to stop these insane lies that have taken root in their party, witness the support this week by the House Republicans for bigot and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Congresswoman from Georgia. | ||
| If there's no effort and accountability, this is not going to be the end of MAGA terrorism. | ||
| This will only be the beginning. | ||
| MAGA, what is it? | ||
| MAGA Terrorist Mob. | ||
| And there you hear from Jake Tapper what you are. | ||
| You're a MAGA Terrorist Mob. | ||
| We're live from the nation's capital, still occupied by troops. | ||
| You're in the War Room, Monday, 8 February, Year of Our Lord 2021, now with over 34 million downloads. | ||
| The podcast live on John Frederick's radio network, on the streaming service of Real America's Voice, also Dish Channel 219, Comcast Channel 113. | ||
| And on Rumble, Telegram, GNews, GTV, In Mandarin, Simulcast and every platform, GabTV. | ||
| We're ubiquitous. | ||
| We want to be ubiquitous so everybody, we can reach the audience where you are. | ||
| So on many, many different platforms and obviously one of the largest podcasts in the nation, one of the largest podcasts in the world and a show that goes all over because we're not, we just put the show up in podcasts. | ||
| We're really just a live show. | ||

|
OK, we've got a lot to get through today. | |
| It's going to be a little hectic, a little crazy, as we like it here on a Monday. | ||
| But I want to start with really a guy who has, I think, part of the backbone of just not the conservative media, but the conservative movement. | ||
| Jim Hoff started his site, Gateway Pundit, back in 2004. | ||
| A colleague and a dear friend of Andrew Breitbart. | ||
| They were the two guys, I think, at the beginning that were the two pillars of this. | ||
| And, Jim, you started, and now, by the way, I guess you're banned on Twitter. | ||
| They took your Twitter account down over the weekend because you were breaking more news that, of course, they say it's nothing but lies. | ||
| And since they're so open to evidence, right, anybody that puts up any evidence whatsoever is immediately taken down as a lie. | ||
| So you were banned on Twitter over the weekend, sir? | ||
| That's right, Steve. | ||
| Twitter took us down after we put up a report on Friday on the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan. | ||
| And that center, you were putting up video, correct? | ||
| Right. | ||
| It took us two months to get this security camera video from election night. | ||
| If you go back and look at Gateway Pundit on November 4th, the morning after the election, we were the first ones to put up a report that a van, a mysterious van, had showed up late at night and unpacked ballots. | ||
| The media immediately ignored the story. | ||
| The couple of reports that were out there denied this happened, said it was a TV camera crew. | ||
| So we also had several witnesses come out and give us testimonials. | ||
| They spoke in front of the Senate. | ||
| We had three or four individuals who saw this happen, and it took us two and a half months to get the actual video that confirmed every word what they said. | ||
| That this mysterious ban came in the middle of the night, was allowed into the center, unloaded dozens of boxes of ballots, left, and what we found out last week was it made a second trip back to the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, late at night at 3.30am. | ||
| And so we were banned from Twitter for putting that up. | ||
| I just want to ask, this was actually part of the program when Rudy Giuliani went out there to the State Senate, right? | ||
| They've had people talk about this, and they were questioned hard, but is this ever, and if it has, just show me, has it ever been refuted? | ||
| I know it's been mocked on the left, all that, and I think they had questions asked of them, but has this ever been refuted? | ||
| Even before you put up the video? | ||
| I know it's been mocked, but has it ever been actually technically refuted? | ||
| Initial reports and the witnesses who came forward in November, Steve, one reporter up there in Detroit, Hendrickson, I believe Clara Hendrickson, wrote that she talked to the local official, his last name is Thomas, Chris Thomas, who works in the city clerk's office. | ||
| And he's denied that there was anything to see here, okay? | ||
| So he has skin in the game. | ||
| That one witness they had, right? | ||
| Who told her, oh, there's nothing wrong with this. | ||
| We have four or five witnesses who say exactly what they saw. | ||
| And Steve, I should add, that one of the witnesses on our side said that the ballots were, he believes they were all absentee. | ||
| They looked like they were all printed. | ||
| They were all in black ink. | ||
| And they only included votes for Joe Biden and the senatorial candidate. | ||
| in Michigan. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| So very suspicious what was coming out of this van at 3.30 in the morning at the TCF Center. | ||
| But you have Chris Thomas, you have Chris Thompson, or Chris Thomas Thompson, who's an official who says it never happened, but you've got four or five people that say it does happen. | ||
| So that's the whole thing of... Right. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| I should add real quickly, Steve, if I could add, this Hendrickson reported back in November For PolitiFact, then, that there was no evidence of any ballots coming in late at night. | ||
| Well, now, last week, after our report, she said, well, the ballots came in, but Chris Thomas says that they're fine, right? | ||
| So she's changed her story completely in PolitiFact. | ||
| And she doesn't mention this to her audience from her report last week, that she just changed her story completely over the past couple months. | ||
| Hang on, was that in the story that you put up that Twitter took down? | ||
| I don't remember seeing that part. | ||
| Did you actually put up that she had said in PoliticoFact nothing came in and now she's actually changing PoliticoFact saying, oh wait, something came in but they were okay. | ||
| Yeah, they're fine. | ||
| The ballots are completely normal to have this late night delivery in the middle of the night. | ||
| Yeah, she did do that as a post-up on Gateway Pundit. | ||
| Was that part of the post of which they, or that separate post from the one that they, when you put up with the video they took down? | ||
| On Saturday I put up a tweet on Twitter that said we have more information coming, more video coming from the TCF, and after I put that up then I was banned permanently from Twitter for putting that up. | ||
| Okay and we want to make sure in our live chat with the live chat here in the various platforms is huge we want to make sure people see that because to me that's just part of the American process right you got you put evidence up that's what investigative journalism that's what got that's what got us the Pentagon Papers that's what got all the investigation into the Into the Warren Commission, that's what's gotten all the stuff in the 9-11 Commission, all of it. | ||
| It's the American free speech, you know, which has been the backbone. | ||
| It ain't the First Amendment for nothing, but I want to get the ACLU cares anymore. | ||
| Well, hold, jump in here for a second, Rahim. | ||
| I think it's a huge, I think you found signal, not noise. | ||
| Tell Jim that. | ||
| It's kind of been buried in some of the news today, but the ACLU is announcing that it's actually shifting its focus, embarking on a new racial justice agenda and dropping its focus on First Amendment protections for a hundred-year-old organization that has made its entire history and name on defending the freedom of speech to turn around in 2021 and say, we're done with that. | ||
| That is sick. | ||
| That's the biggest thing of victory I've heard. | ||
| That goes to the Time Magazine. | ||
| That's scary. | ||
| That goes to the Time Magazine. | ||
| That's when they think they're winning, right? | ||
| We've won, so we're not interested in your speech anymore. | ||
| We're not interested in Jim Hoff, what Jim Hoff's got to say. | ||
| We've been interested in that when it was on the left. | ||
| We were interested in that when the New York Times was going after the Pentagon, but now that they're partners with the Pentagon, not interested. | ||
| Jim, just real quickly, I want people to understand the scale And the importance of Gateway Pundit is today. | ||
| Your last couple of months, what's been the traffic? | ||
| And I think you started in 2004, and I believe it was actually maybe even before Andrew, back in the days with Free Republic, Glenn Reynolds, Michelle Malkin. | ||
| I mean, it was only a handful of you guys at the very beginning, right? | ||
| It was back in 2004? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And how big are you today? | ||
| So, the Gateway Pundit in December, we had 125 million page views, averaging over 4 million a day. | ||
| And we dipped a little in January. | ||
| I think there was a big, as I'm sure you noticed, after the inauguration, a lot of people depressed. | ||
| So they're not as interested in the news, but we still held pretty strong. | ||
| And so that's where we are today. | ||
| We're one of the top 150 websites in the country. | ||
| Websites. | ||
| So not just news websites where we're one of the top, I don't know, 20 or 30. | ||
| But so anyway, we've done very well. | ||
| We get no assistance. | ||
| And now we have No traffic from Twitter. | ||
| They shut down our Facebook a long time ago. | ||
| What we have is that we have an audience that continues to grow and keep coming back because we're putting out original reporting like this and because the left is just continuously attacking us any way they can. | ||
| You know, even when we have video evidence, they still attack us with their bogus arguments. | ||
| Is this going to change at all the angle of attack of Gateway Pundit or change your reporting or the drive and the things you find are the most important stories of the day and the most important verticals? | ||
| Well, you know what's interesting, Steve, is now that we're free from Twitter, you know, Jack Dorsey a couple of years ago testified and said he wants to shape opinion, shape behavior, you know, and so when you're trying to stay With your account live on Twitter, you have to shape your behavior as you guys all know. | ||
| And so we have a little bit more freedom today to just tell it like it is, I believe. | ||
| And we always try to do that anyway. | ||
| But, you know, it's disgusting what the left is doing to free speech in America. | ||
| Obviously, we've never seen anything like this in our history and very disappointing. | ||
| And it's a very rough time to be a conservative. | ||
| And a conservative publisher in America today. | ||
| But that's why tough times produce tough people, and you're a tough guy. | ||
| You've done this for years. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| A real paragon. | ||
| Jim, we've got about a minute. | ||
| How do people get to Gateway Pundit, and how can they help push out? | ||
| We're very proud that our audiences are force multipliers. | ||
| How can they assist getting the message out from Gateway Pundit? | ||
| Well, certainly we have a daily newsletter they can sign up for. | ||
| It's thegatewaypundit.com. | ||
| It's a website. | ||
| We no longer have Twitter, but you know, we're moving into some of these other social media outlets. | ||
| We have Telegram, we have still have Facebook, Instagram, MeWe, and Parler when it comes back, Gab. | ||
| So there are different ways you can find us. | ||
| And, you know, I believe that these other outlets are going to continue to grow. | ||
| Because, you know, Facebook and Twitter have just become stale and unfun. | ||
| That's what I've heard people describe it to me as. | ||
| They're just not fun anymore when you have your mother in the other room constantly criticizing what you're talking about. | ||
| The Karens. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Jim Hoff, thank you very much. | ||
| Great honor to have you on. | ||
| Great work. | ||
| Jim Hoff at Gateway Pundit. | ||
| Thanks, guys. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Rahim, I want to go back over the ACLU. | ||
| This is a declaration of victory. | ||
| This is big. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Remember, it was founded by a quote-unquote pacifist, i.e. | ||
| anti-involvement in World War I socialist. | ||
| What they're effectively now saying is, hey, it took us 101 years, socialism is in power in America, we don't need free speech anymore. | ||
| Yeah, they don't want free speech. | ||
|

|
Exactly. | |
| Very big. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We're gonna go out to where it's happening. | ||
| In Wyoming, where it's a throwdown on Liz Cheney. | ||
| In Arizona, where they're threatening to actually arrest the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. | ||
| All about the election. | ||
| That still the fight goes on. | ||
| Next, War Room Pandemic. | ||

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Chris, we're the party of Abraham Lincoln. | ||
| We're the party of Ronald Reagan. | ||
| We have to really take a hard look at who we are and what we stand for, what we believe in. | ||
| I think when you look at both his actions leading up to what happened on January 6th, the fact that he was impeached in a bipartisan fashion, The fact that he lost the presidency, the fact that we lost the Senate, we have to be in a position where we can say we stand for principles, we stand for ideals. | ||
| somebody who has provoked an attack on the United States Capitol to prevent the counting of electoral votes, which resulted in five people dying, who refused to stand up immediately when he was asked and stopped the violence, that is a person who does not have a role as a leader of our party going forward. | ||
| We have to make sure that we are able to convey to the American voters we are the party of responsibility, we are the party of truth, that we actually can be trusted to handle the challenges this nation faces like COVID, and that is going to require us to focus on substance and policy and issues going forward, but we should not be embracing the former president. | ||
| Well, I think you have to read the language of the censure partly. | ||
| I think, you know, that people in the party are mistaken. | ||
| They believe that BLM and Antifa were behind what happened here at the Capitol. | ||
| That's just simply not the case. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| And we're going to have a lot of work we have to do. | ||
| People have been lied to. | ||
| The extent to which the President, President Trump, for months leading up to January 6th spread the notion that the election had been stolen or that the election was rigged was a lie. | ||
| And people need to understand that. | ||
| We need to make sure that we as Republicans are the party of truth and that we're being honest about what really did happen in 2020 so we actually have a chance to win in 2022 and win the White House back in 2024. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| In your face! | ||
| That woman, the daughter of, I think, a potential war criminal, her father, who was Vice President of the United States, who's someone who did lie to the American people, went out of his way to lie to the American people, and got us into a fiasco that we still have not dug ourselves out of yet, of which my daughter At the tender age, I think in her mid-twenties, actually served over there in a war that her father lied to the American people and got into. | ||
| So, she's in your face. | ||
| It's the full-spectrum arrogance of that. | ||
| The stupid rubes out in Wyoming. | ||
| You've got to realize, they still don't get it, right? | ||
| The stupid rubes out in Wyoming. | ||
| On Saturday, all the candidates came together for the state meeting. | ||
| She was censured. | ||
| Ask to resign, want the money paid back historically, no more money in the future, an absolute from the folks out there, I think it passed 57 to 8, right? | ||
| to eight, right, or 58 to seven. And it was a categorical refuting everything she stands for, And yet she comes on national TV. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or 58 to 7. | |
| This is a woman that polls out there, I think at 10%. | ||
| And President Trump, I think, polls at 91% of people that want him to be the candidate in 2024 for his second term. | ||
| He just ended his first term. | ||
| The arrogance of her to go on there No remorse, and provoked an attack, gave all the talking points. | ||
| That's going to be in 30-second spots, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| And I've got to tell you, the problem here are not the folks in William. | ||
| We're going to go to Joey Carrente IV of Carbon County, who kind of initiated this all. | ||
| But the problem is, this is a McCarthy problem. | ||
| McCarthy got up there and made a big plea the other day on leadership. | ||
| I need my team. | ||
| You know, it's a referendum on me. | ||
| Well, hey dude. | ||
| Clearly, she is in your grill, and this shows you your lack of leadership, your lack of spine, and you know, I don't get it. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| I do not get it. | ||
| She represents you, and she just threw down, and you can't run and hide for this anymore. | ||
| You don't need to go to Mar-a-Lago and ask for the donor list, and ask for the emails, and ask for everything like this. | ||
| This is much more fundamental. | ||
| We understand you don't understand policy. | ||
| We understand you're no good on television. | ||
| You can't message because you can't think on your feet. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You're like the pledge chairman. | ||
| And this is this myth that McCarthy got this big victory. | ||
| That was Donald J. Trump on his shoulders. | ||
| And to tell you how upset... | ||
| They are, is that Don Jr. | ||
| today came out, Big Story and Daily Mail came out and said, hey, I'm going to campaign against her. | ||
| Already committed. | ||
| I want to bring in now, Joey Crint to the fore. | ||
| Jump in, yeah, yeah, jump in, yeah, please, please jump in. | ||
| So, the Washington Post this weekend has this story up and it's, the headline is $519 million and counting. | ||
| This is what they say, Trump's lie that the election was stolen cost 519 million dollars and counting. | ||
| And when you go through the story, it's clearly just as all of these stories this weekend were, designed to give the Democrats something to wave around in the chamber during the trial, right? | ||
| So you go through it and it says, costs associated with insurrection and inauguration security, $488 million. | ||
| State costs associated with January the 6th and inauguration related security, $28 million. | ||
| State costs related to legal challenges and security for election officials, $2.2 million. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So that's the number that they're charging him with. | ||
| But it made me think, when you talk about Liz Cheney, you talk about Liz Cheney's father. | ||
| What was the number that that lie cost? | ||
| By the way, at Brown University, which is no Breitbart, they estimated, I think, 7 to 9 trillion dollars. | ||
| Trillion? | ||
| Trillion. | ||
| Between Iraq and Afghanistan, 7 to 9 trillion dollars. | ||
| Think of what this country would be. | ||
| Plus, the treasure is one thing. | ||
| It's the blood. | ||
| Think of what it's worth. | ||
| 10 to 15,000 dead, another 50,000 wounded. | ||
| Part of that cost is the net present value of their costs in VA. | ||
| Also, the PTSD. | ||
| The 20 a day that are committing suicide. | ||
| What it's done from taking our eye off the ball of the existential threat to the country of China. | ||
| That's the lies. | ||
| You're talking about the lies of your family. | ||
| Go over to section 60 over Arlington National Cemetery before you come on here. | ||
| Her arrogance. | ||
| This is the elites. | ||
| This is why this is not about Republican or Democrat. | ||
| This is about populist nationalism and the globalist elites. | ||
| And she's just in your grill. | ||
| Seven to nine trillion dollars. | ||
| A generation of kids killed, right? | ||
| The morale of the nation, America standing in the world, its ability to conduct normal diplomacy, hundreds of years of established law and order and respect that have been thrown out of the window for a phony war with a phony person and that man has never had to answer for his lies in the U.S. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senate. | |
| Bald-faced lie. | ||
| She's a daughter of potentially a war criminal. | ||
| I wouldn't say potentially. | ||
| A stone-cold liar and her arrogance is going to let you fight. | ||
| I want to bring in Joey Carrente IV. | ||
| So, Joey, I think you got your response. | ||
| I noticed you had a chair, and that was a meme on the internet for a while. | ||
| She doesn't care about your chair. | ||
| And no offense, she doesn't care about you, and she cares less about the people of Wyoming. | ||
| She didn't talk to you guys beforehand, she never talked to you afterwards, but she went on national TV to tell you what she thought of your event on Saturday. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, my biggest concern is, in the interview she gave, she kept using the word, we. | |
| We are the party of Lincoln. | ||
| We are the party of Reagan. | ||
| We cannot afford to allow Donald Trump to be a leader in our party. | ||
| And then she goes and basically says, we, the rest of us here in Wyoming, are idiots. | ||
| So my question is, what does she mean by the word, we? | ||
| I mean, does she own the franchise on us as a group? | ||
| Or is she only talking to her key stakeholders? | ||
| Because she's definitely not talking To the people who are involved with the Republican apparatus in Wyoming. | ||
| We offered her the opportunity. | ||
| We even had the courtesy of having a seat prepared for her. | ||
| And we got an email about 10 minutes before the meeting started from a staffer saying Representative Cheney is busy with votes that may be upcoming and cannot leave Washington. | ||
| So we had questions that we needed. | ||
| We, the people, needed answer to, and she decided instead she'd rather Give some gleaming generalities to Chris Wallace and ignore the request of our people and that kind of further stokes this fire of our concerns will not go unheard. | ||
| And they may not end up being heard by our representative, but they will be heard by the people. | ||
| What actions can you further take? | ||
| I mean, she just responded. | ||
| She's not going to answer any of the questions you put forward. | ||
| She's not going to answer. | ||
| You got your answer on the Chris Wallace Show. | ||
| In particular, the fact that you guys are just a collection of rubes, right? | ||
| You gotta look at how it's been written, the censure's written, and, you know, they've just been lied to, and they're so stupid, they obviously just believe lies, right? | ||
| They're not smart enough to be able to sift through evidence and facts and come to their own conclusions as tough individuals that you have to be out In a state like Wyoming. | ||
| So, where do you go from here? | ||
| Are you guys just going to take it? | ||
| Are you just going to give her the back of the hand and say, hey, Trump shouldn't be the head of this party. | ||
| A guy that won, I think, with 70% of the vote in Wyoming. | ||
| I mean, where do you guys go from here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, luckily we live in America where even rubes get to vote. | |
| So, we still have a long campaign of true information. | ||
| Willing to have the patience to wait for actual facts to come out. | ||
| We found it real interesting that Representative Cheney said, you know, we're mistaken. | ||
| Antifa didn't do this. | ||
| But in the same interview, she said there's a massive criminal investigation going on. | ||
| Well, there's a massive criminal investigation that's still ongoing. | ||
| How do we actually know what's what? | ||
| And how did she have the facts to vote on January 13th the way she did if it's still being investigated? | ||
| So as those investigations roll through, we'll continue to use that information and ask the questions we wanted to ask when we invited her, such as, what part of the Constitution is it she's saying she's upholding by voting to impeach Donald Trump? | ||
| Are the other 197 members of the Republican Congress who voted to not impeach Trump violating the Constitution? | ||
| These are questions we don't get answers to because we don't get contact with our representative. | ||
| So the heat and the pressure will stay on because when the people are ignored and they have a need, that's when they act. | ||
| So as far as any tangible, again, we knew going in, censure was not a tangible effect product, but we do have an awakening of the people. | ||
| And it's not just here in Wyoming. | ||
| I take calls every day. | ||
| I was on the phone with the Washington GOP. | ||
| They're looking to put this together. | ||
| I know Illinois has something in action that's going to be taken up this next week. | ||
| Kentucky is all over it. | ||
| To let you know, yeah, we can't kick you out of office, but we can make it very difficult and uncomfortable to continue to ignore our voice. | ||
| And eventually that ballot box is going to be set before us and anything can happen. | ||
| Joey, we've got to bounce, but thank you. | ||
| Great work out there. | ||
| We'll be checking back in. | ||
| This is a continuing story. | ||
| You're absolutely correct. | ||
| From Kentucky to Illinois to Washington State, people are now getting woke on what the reality is of these elites. | ||
| Okay, we're going to turn a second. | ||
| We're going to go to Arizona next. | ||

War Room Pandemic. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we got a lot to get through today. | ||
| Remember, this trial, the whole thing, and particularly, it's interesting, some of the times there's posts on other sites, people, maybe they're not listeners to the show. | ||
| The argument we've been making here is that the Democrats, and it came out today, they're going to have this massive video and they're going to press a case against President Trump that not only did he cite this insurrection on the 6th, but the whole lead up to it, it's the 77 days thing, the whole lead up to it. | ||
| Was all these lies, and you know, you heard from Cheney. | ||
| They've been lied to, they've been lied to, they've been lied to. | ||
| You've got two paths to go down on this. | ||
| One, you've got the Peter Navar, the Navar report where you have, you know, Matt Brainerd and you've got Steve Cortez and others that sit there and look at the low-hanging fruit of the voter fraud and the election fraud and all that. | ||
| Then you've got this other whole aspect. | ||
| Which is the machines. | ||
| And I've said from day one, hey, the machines are so complicated, I happen to think you're going to need kind of official investigations and an apparatus level of what, like, Texas did to shut it down and not have it. | ||
| And I'm a huge believer we've got to get rid of all the machines, not singling out Dominion. | ||
| I just think we've got to get out of the machine business and back into paper ballots and people that can count it can actually verify it. | ||
| But you do have those two different converging points. | ||
| You've got Mike Lindell on one hand who's doing his report that's obviously very controversial. | ||
| You've got Peter Navarro on the other. | ||
| But the point that we're making is that to go unanswered, and Rahim you've got some of the details, is to go unanswered, the Democrats are going to make a highly emotional, and I was quoted the other day in Politico, some people might, I said it's compelling on an emotional basis. | ||
| What Rahim says, pathos. | ||
| This is not a legal proceeding. | ||
| It's not a legal proceeding. | ||
| That's one of the reasons this is unconstitutional for many reasons. | ||
| It's a political, and they're making a highly charged emotional political argument to play to low-information voters and the political left. | ||
| I just have felt from day one that we have so much evidence. | ||
| I think, to quote Professor Clements at New Mexico State University, overwhelming evidence of the low-hanging stuff, not even to the machines. | ||
| You have such overwhelming evidence of that. | ||
| And if you look at the Mike Lindell thing, you can come to your own conclusion of that, whether you think his is absolute proof, or you think it's total nonsense. | ||
| My point is, we have argued from the very beginning that the President's team, just in making the unconstitutional arguments, also has to make these arguments. | ||
| It looks like that's probably not going to happen. | ||
| Rahim, the negotiation has gone all the way through this morning. | ||
| What's the latest state of play on the second trial of the century? | ||
| So a couple of things, just to hit the points, hit the detail right now. | ||
| So we're looking at new pretrial briefs being filed today, four hours of debates tomorrow, and a vote on the constitutionality. | ||
| That's very important. | ||
| Another one. | ||
| Another vote on the constitutionality. | ||
| And that basically is designed to allow Republicans to change their minds on what they claimed a couple of weeks ago in that Rand poll forced a vote on the constitutionality of this. | ||
| You had John Bolton's lawyer coming out making the case in the Wall Street Journal, all these establishment But they also want to see if Trump's got in his pre-trial, the signal here is that whatever Trump's pre-trial brief is, if it goes the path that we're going to actually argue that we won and it was stolen, that's where those guys can say, well, upon further review, We think it is constitutional and we can vote against you and find you guilty, correct? | ||
| Effectively, what they're doing here is they're including a vote on Trump's lawyer's defense ahead of the actual trial, which is Stasi-like behavior, frankly. | ||
| But we're not surprised. | ||
| Uh, 16 hours of debate per side, which will start on Wednesday, and that includes presentations and so on and so forth. | ||
| And the rest of the details currently still being thrashed out, and we expect more in the next couple of hours. | ||
| So that means the 16 hours of debate on each side, they're trying to wrap it up by the weekend. | ||
| They may well be a special session Sunday, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, because Saturday they're going to take off on religious observations. | |
| So let me just very quickly add into this. | ||
| Now Chuck Schumer, people will remember from last year's impeachment, and I hope we have one every year from now on, from last year's impeachment we heard that Chuck Schumer saying the words Real trials have real witnesses. | ||
| Real trials have witnesses, he said, over and over and over again, to make the case, to draw the whole thing out, and to have a whole, you know, presentation on this. | ||
| Chuck Schumer is now pressuring his own side to not include witnesses, to try and get this thing wrapped up as quickly as possible. | ||
| And for several reasons, I think. | ||
| Number one, I think they are actually worried about some of these witnesses getting crossed up. | ||
| and and saying things that they shouldn't necessarily be saying up there and entering into the record things that the democrats would find uh... uncomfortable the other thing is it's hampering the senate's ability you know chuck schumer has this lovely fancy new title fancy new office fancy new digs and doesn't get to use them right now because all of the legislative stuff all the agenda is being plowed into this thing So it's stopping him doing anything further, stopping him being useful to Joe Biden at all. | ||
| And then thirdly is the fact that it's not compelling for the country. | ||
| The country keeps hearing, you know, you see Bruce Springsteen trying to sell Jeeps during the Super Bowl saying, you know, we have to be the reunited states of America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Meanwhile, the country sees this cognitive dissonance of one side But he was the leading guy on the resistance, you know, four years ago. | |
| It's all crap and nonsense. | ||
| But that goes back to my point about pathos, right? | ||
| And I know we're running short on time. | ||
| Let me just get this real quick. | ||
| Our side has to get away from this mentality that you can just check box everything legally and say, hey, we're going to end this on the legal terms. | ||
| Because guess what? | ||
| The other side, whether you like it or not, whether this audience likes it or not. | ||
| The other side has compelling storytellers. | ||
| The reason Springsteen gets away with doing that crap is because he's a compelling storyteller. | ||
| We may not find that to be the case, but he's out there every single day saying F Trump and all this, and then suddenly he's the guy to lead the re-unity charge in the middle of the Super Bowl? | ||
| Yeah, we're going to reunite around the chapel in the middle of the country. | ||
| It's totally so funny. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| Pure pathos. | ||
| We're bringing our next guest. | ||
| The reason we want that tee up is that, hey, guess what? | ||
| Out in the country, there's still a fight going on. | ||
| In Arizona today, I believe the state Senate is going to meet to actually consider a resolution to go arrest, send the sergeant-at-arms and have, go arrest The members of Maricopa County, they won't get with the program about this, you know, about a full audit, I guess, of the machines. | ||
| I want to bring in Mark Fincham, the representative of Oro Valley down in southern Arizona. | ||
| So, Mark, tell me what's going on and what can they expect to happen here? | ||
| It sounds like, I thought we sorted this thing out by getting on with getting consultants and go do this full forensic audit. | ||
| Now you're threatening to arrest, now the Senate's threatening to arrest people. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Yeah, the battle between fact and fantasy continues down here. | ||
| So on Friday, there was a new filing by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors trying to quash the subpoena that at 1.30 today, the Senate is supposed to convene to take up SR 1005, which is the resolution authorizing the president of the Senate to send the sergeant at arms down to their offices and physically arrest them. | ||
| Now, they're making the argument that you don't have the authority, you can't do this. | ||
| What's interesting is they've said that the courts don't have authority, yet they turn to the courts and they want the courts to quash the subpoena. | ||
| The courts have already said, both the Arizona Supreme Court and the U.S. | ||
| Supreme Court, you have plenary authority. | ||
| You get to exercise that however you deem necessary. | ||
| So the subpoenas, obviously, are part of the lawmaking process. | ||
| We have to get fact, we can't act on fantasy. | ||
| So at 1.30 today, the Senate's going to take this up. | ||
| I've been given to understand that they do have the votes. | ||
| The fact that the Maricopa Board filed yet another lawsuit on Friday virtually assured that we'll have 16 votes. | ||
| Now, what your viewers can do to help us, if you go to azleg.gov, And click on the Senate tab, you can see the entire list of members and their phone numbers. | ||
| This is a call to action. | ||
| We need to light that up and make sure that they have the spinal fortitude to stand up to this and say, enough is enough. | ||
| This is crap. | ||
| We are going to audit your system. | ||
| Interestingly enough, we find out over the weekend, and by the way, Jim Hoff did a great job on the article that points out that the two companies That the Maricopa board secured to do their own audit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fake! | |
| These are the same two companies that certified their machines. | ||
| So there is no arm's length transaction there. | ||
| And then we've got some evidence on the outside from some Project Veritas guys that were actually monitoring what was going on with their access to the internet while this supposed audit was going on. | ||
| And there was a name change to one of the servers that basically was Shall we say FU? | ||
| They changed the name of the router just to tell the guys who were monitoring the internet traffic from the outside, we know you're watching us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's from inside a county structure. | |
| They did that. | ||
| Okay, real quickly, I want to put back up For the force multipliers that are the audience of the most powerful show in the world because of that audience, the MAGA posse here, the America First posse, the deplorables. | ||
| Mark, walk through one more time, where should they go and who do they call? | ||
| Okay, so the link that people can find the entire list of members and phone numbers Is www.azleg.gov. | ||
| Once you get there, you'll see the Senate tab and the House tab. | ||
| Click on the Senate, and that's where you see the entire roster. | ||
| Now, by the way, this isn't a Democrat or Republican thing. | ||
| This is about a political subdivision telling the state, bugger off. | ||
| So you can call those phone numbers and just let people know, hey, we support you, whatever you need to do to make sure that these subpoenas are enforced. | ||
| And if it means arresting the Board of Supervisors, then so be it. | ||
| OK, Mark, we've got to bounce. | ||
| We're going to get that in the live chat. | ||
| We'll get that in the live stream. | ||
| Mark Fincham, tonight on The Evening Show, we want to check back in with you doing Yeoman's work out there in Southern Arizona. | ||
| And for the Jake Tappers and stuff, you know, we say this is all lies, everything like that. | ||
| And to Liz Cheney, these people are not morons. | ||
| They're the smartest people in the country. | ||
| It's the American people and they have plenty of smarts and plenty of common sense. | ||
| And now they're fighting in courts and they're fighting the guys going to get jailed. | ||
| That's the American system. | ||
| It's an advocacy system. | ||
| Mark, thank you very much for coming in today on War and Pandemic. | ||
| I want to bring in now John Fredericks down to the great state I've been hanging out in Georgia. | ||
| John, you've seen this, whether it's in Wyoming, you've seen the Cheneys, you've seen what the elites think, you've seen this now, this huge fight they're having at Maricopa County, and here's what our audience should understand. | ||
| People are fighting and they're not going to back off. | ||
| They're not going to back down. | ||
| This is going to continue until we get answers. | ||
| Until facts are presented and answers given, the American people, and particularly the deplorables, are not going to get off this. | ||
| Twitter may not like it, Google may not like it, these guys may not like it, but that's the way it is. | ||
| John Frederick, get us up to date. | ||

|
You're going to have to brace yourself for two weeks of kerabuki theater with this Senate trial, because the real enemy here of the Democrats is not President Trump, it's us. | |
| It's people that voted for the President, that supported the President, that went to his rallies, that believe in his America First agenda. | ||
| They want to toxify us, they want to shame us, they want to make us feel bad about what we're doing. | ||
| Jake Tapper, Jake Tapper, AT&T, AT&T CNN says you're a terrorist maga mob, Mr. John Frederick. | ||
| You went to a rally. | ||
| Yeah, they want to silence us into submission through shaming and embarrassment so that you can't talk to your friends. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're not going to send a text. | |
| You're not going to put a hat on. | ||
| You're not going to talk to them at parties. | ||
| That's what their objective is. | ||
| This has very little to do with Trump. | ||
| Now, on the other side, Steve, they're still afraid of us. | ||
| They know we got 75 million real votes. | ||
| I don't know how many real votes they have. | ||
| We got 75 million real votes. | ||
| They're afraid of that. | ||
| They know that we broke the back of their big union labor conglomerate once. | ||
| We're going to be able to do it again. | ||
| And if you really study that article on Molly Ball, which you have done a fabulous job... I tell you what, John, hang on one second. | ||
| I'm going to come back and get your thoughts on Molly Ball after the break. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Also, Rahim, we have Dr. Godside. | ||
| Dr. Godside is going to join us for a complete analysis of one of Hollywood's top stars. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| John Frederick, Hollywood and Culture. | ||
| Mike Lindell. | ||
| We've got Dr. Maria Ryan about the vaccines. | ||
| And of course, from Arizona, brother Dan Schultz about how you, yes you, can take over the Republican Party. | ||
| All next, War Room Pandemic. | ||

|
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we're jammed for time, but I want to go back to John Fredericks quickly. | ||
| John, the article, the cover story, The Secret History of the Effort to Save 2020 that Time Magazine has, it covers 6,500 words from Molly Ball. | ||
| How important do you think it is for the President's team to address that, to address that this week? | ||
| Because the Democrats are coming in with this MSNBC-type video that's supposed to be so devastating to show how the President's culpable in all this. | ||
| How important do you think it is for him to counter That obviously, not even conspiracy, I mean, it's just the whole way they work together in unison to steal this election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the hell else matters? | |
| Nothing matters but that. | ||
| I don't even know what they would do without doing that, Steve. | ||
| And I'll tell you, you guys always talk about the Barry Lee, the Barry Lee in that story, is they thought this was going to be a landslide. | ||
| They were aghast, taken aback, shocked, when we had this enormous game day turnout, they never thought would happen. | ||
| Remember, even with whatever shenanigans went on, 30 to 40,000 votes in different areas, And Trump wins a second term. | ||
| So they were shocked by this. | ||
| So absolutely, I think they have to do that. | ||
| I also want to mention, Steve, that we're starting a new radio network in Georgia. | ||
| March 1st is when we take it over. | ||
| Talk radio, Steve. | ||
| I'm betting on it big. | ||
| This is the last bastion of free speech and exchange left in America. | ||
| WMLB, Freedom AM 1650. | ||
| Steve Bannon's going to be on there 10 to noon and 5 to 6. | ||
| And we're going to have a great lineup. | ||
| AM 1690, Freedom 1690, WMLB. | ||
| Atlanta, Georgia, March 1st. | ||
| Okay, John. | ||
| John Fredericks Radio Network. | ||
| We're going to announce some other big names, too. | ||
| If we can work out a deal for the very expensive Raheem Kassam. | ||
| We're going to try to get Raheem to go back to work. | ||
| Raheem, we've got an amazing new guest on. | ||
| I want you to take it, because this is a segment I've been looking for for a long time. | ||
| I want to bring in Dr. Gad Saad here. | ||
| Dr. Saad is the author of the new book, The Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense. | ||
| Gad, thank you so much for joining us here on War and Pandemic. | ||
| On the show today, we started talking about the ACLU. | ||
| The ACLU is flipping its focus away from free speech and to racial justice. | ||
| It reminded me of Psychology Today rejecting your article because you dared to offend, or even notionally offend, the great doyen of Marxist politics, Seth Rogen. | ||
| Tell us a little bit more about what happened to you. | ||
| Yeah, so I had written, I had done a sad truth clip on my YouTube channel where I was describing the hypocrisy of all of those folks who, you know, wear Che Guevara t-shirts but live in Malibu. | ||
| And subsequently, I turned it into a full Psychology Today article where I even took excerpts from my book, The Parasitic Mind, to make my point. | ||
| Within 30 minutes, it had become one of the top five most popular articles on that site. | ||
| And then suddenly Psychology Today writes me and says that they are yanking it because, you know, it is not evidence based. | ||
| And I use very mean words like hypocritical frauds and vacuous parasitic virtue signalers. | ||
| So that was apparently beyond the pale. | ||
| So it's perfectly OK to critique Donald Trump from a distance and call him, you know, a megalomaniac and a malignant narcissist. | ||
| But I'm not allowed to critique Seth Rogen because, you know, bruh, he's the king. | ||
| Bruh, he's the king, is a good way of putting the responses I've seen so far to your article. | ||
| And it's, you know, it's rooted in psychology. | ||
| This isn't just some guy, you know, spouting off on a blog and expecting psychology today to publish it. | ||
| How long have you published there, by the way, Dr. Saad? | ||
| So since 2008, this was my 312th article and almost 7 million views. | ||
| So I had been for a very long time one of their most prolific and popular authors. | ||
| And to your point, I use something from evolutionary biology to make my point. | ||
| So, it was very much theoretical driven. | ||
| So, I argue that for a signal to be honest, it has to be costly. | ||
| In other words, it has to be handicapping. | ||
| So, to write Je Suis Charlie, after the... Is it there? | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Just say that again very slowly. | ||
| Unpack that a little bit for us. | ||
| For a signal to be... For a signal to be honest, it has to be handicapping. | ||
| So, for example, when Raif Badawi The Saudi blogger decides to speak out against the Saudi regime from within Saudi Arabia. | ||
| That is a costly signal because he knows the repercussions of taking the positions that he's taking. | ||
| He's living out his convictions. | ||
| But to write hashtag just read Charlie and hashtag bring the girls home and hashtag I am a socialist while being worth $80 million in Malibu. | ||
| is exactly the opposite of the evolutionary mechanism of the handicap principle. | ||
| So, nothing could have been more theoretically grounded, but apparently, I just don't have the right to critique a Hollywood star, and they yanked it. | ||
| But luckily, you were gracious enough to accept it on your platform, and I'm sure it got even more reviews, or more views now than it did before. | ||
| Well, I've always been a long fan of yours since I first discovered your work, so as soon as I saw that opportunity to publish you come up, I, you know, I seized it with both hands. | ||
| I DM'd you straight away and said, hey, you know, we'll publish the story. | ||
| It's up on the National Pulse right now. | ||
| Dr. Saad, you have a new book out. | ||
| It's called The Parasitic Mind. | ||
| And just before we get to that, I just want to reiterate something that you just said. | ||
| Basically, the way I see what you just said is the truth costs Whereas lies actually pay. | ||
| That's the way I'm seeing the world shaking out right now. | ||
| So how does that play into the parasitic mind and the thesis in your new book? | ||
| So in the parasitic mind, what I basically do is I put on my hat of a parasitologist of the human mind. | ||
| So we're living today in the COVID era. | ||
| Well, I argue that there's been a pandemic that's been brewing for much longer than COVID. | ||
| It's been brewing on university campuses for 40, 50 years. | ||
| And so I refer to these terrible ideas that were spawned on university campuses as idea pathogens. | ||
| I describe what they are. | ||
| I describe how they were promulgated originally on university campuses, but now everywhere in HR departments, in the military, in politics and culture. | ||
| And then in the last chapter, I offer a vaccination against these dreadful ideas. | ||
| If you'd like, I could discuss one or two of these idea pathogens. | ||
| Well, Dr. Saad, we're up against a hard break here, but maybe we can get you back soon to do that. | ||
| Just tell the audience where they can follow you. | ||
| You still have a YouTube channel? | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| I do have a YouTube channel, although many of my clips get demonetized, they can follow me. | ||
| It's the Saad Truth, S-A-A-D, Truth. | ||
| I have a podcast, I've got a public Facebook page, I've got Twitter. | ||
| It's not difficult to find me. | ||
| All right, we've got to get you back soon. | ||
| We're up against it today, given all the news and the impeachment trial beginning tomorrow and so on and so forth. | ||
| But Dr. Saad, we're really grateful for your time, grateful for you joining us here on War and Pandemic. | ||
| The book is called The Parasitic Mind, and Dr. Saad is just such a fantastic, fantastic psychologist. | ||
| I hope he'll be writing more op-eds at the National Pulse as well. | ||
| We want to come back and have a deeper dive in the book. |
