Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Let me just put that aside for a moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago. | ||
| There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. | ||
| No question about it. | ||
| The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. | ||
| And having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole I spoke to him last night. | ||
|

|
He was grateful to his lawyers. | |
| He appreciated the help that all of us provided. | ||
| You know, he's ready to move on and rebuild the Republican Party. | ||
| He's excited about 2022. | ||
| And I'm going to go down to talk with him next week, play a little golf in Florida. | ||
| And I said, Mr. President, this MAGA movement needs to continue. | ||
| We need to unite the party. | ||
| Trump plus is the way back in 2022. | ||
| He's mad at some folks, but I understand that. | ||
| Will he remain a force in the Republican Party? | ||
| What does that mean for the Republican Party? | ||
| I think it's four swings. | ||
| The Republican Party is more than just one person. | ||
| I actually think that Cassidy is right in the sense that when you get into the general election, if this party becomes more Trumpian, they're going to continue to lose exactly the constituencies that have lost them control of the Senate, lost them control of the House of Representatives. | ||
| They're going to continue to see an exodus of moderate, reasonable, principled Republicans. | ||
| They're going to be losing in the suburbs. | ||
| They will continue to lose where And I think that you're going to see Donald Trump engage in a revenge tour that is going to make the split in the Republican Party even worse. | ||
| People that stormed the Capitol are a hardcore version of President Trump's supporters, and many of them may not go to vote for anybody except Donald Trump. | ||
| So, if you're McConnell, you're looking at this and you're saying, I want to govern again, I want to figure out how to to get people to trust us to make policy again. | ||
| And we can't do that without absolutely condemning former President Trump and what happened on January 6th. | ||
| And I think it's so important just to realize that thinking about that speech, we often cover government as Republicans versus Democrats, one side versus another side. | ||
| That idea has come under a lot of criticism in the last four years. | ||
| And part of the reason why that's true is because Chuck Schumer could have given most of the speech that McConnell gave. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi could have given most of the speech that McConnell gave. | ||
| People who are serious about trying to govern the country and who want to think about it in the terms that John Meacham is thinking about, those 10-year historical terms, their own obituaries someday, they all agree that what we saw happen with President Trump is outside of the norms. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| It's not American. | ||
| And we don't have to miss work. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| It's not American. | ||
| It's outside the norms. | ||
| She nailed one thing and she nailed it very true. | ||
| Schumer and Pelosi and Mitch could have all given the same speech. | ||
| The reason is they're all in the same party. | ||
| This is about, politics is not Republican and Democrat. | ||
| It's not liberal and conservative. | ||
| It's not progressive and right-wing. | ||
| It is populist nationalism versus global elitism. | ||
| And you're seeing the Uniparty, you're seeing the propaganda departments, NBC, MSNBC, Fox. | ||
| You're seeing the, you know, some Fox commentators are not, right? | ||
| Sometimes. | ||
| But, The Fox News is, obviously, run by the Murdochs. | ||
| You're live from still the occupied nation's capital with 7,000 National Guard troops here, and barbed wire all over the place, capital totally secured. | ||
| Want to see what analysis leads us to that, why this has to be a green zone. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Monday, the 15th of February. | ||
| We're already halfway through the second month of the year. | ||
| 2021 is going to rip Faster than 2020 and don't think it's going to get any better. | ||
| Do not think it's going to get any better because it's not going to get better. | ||
| You're here in the war room and we're the, hopefully, the field, we're the forward field office, the forward field operating base of the resistance, right? | ||
| We're not, we're not gonna, can I get the Boston Herald up there? | ||
| We're not gonna, listen, they had a resistance started immediately after Trump was declared by Associated Press. | ||
| We're not going to have a group hug and the reason is they want you to submit. | ||
| If there's any common ground, obviously always prepared to negotiate and talk about common ground. | ||
| Hey, and there's tons of Republicans, you know, part of the Union Party out there, not just looking for common ground, they're looking to push Biden's agenda. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because they want open borders. | ||
| They want more. | ||
| They want the flood of labor in here, illegal alien labor. | ||
| They want to be in business with the CCP. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They don't want to bring back manufacturing jobs back here. | ||
| They don't want the fourth industrial revolution to be centered in the United States of America. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| They're part of the Chamber of Commerce. | ||
| Look at the Time Magazine cover story. | ||
| Look at the Great Reset and then look at the secret history of the 2020 Big Steel. | ||
| It was the Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donoghue, and the AFL-CIO, Trumka. | ||
| Whereas the AFL-CIO leadership's in business with the party of Davos, the workers vote for Trump. | ||
| Look on the Rio Grande Valley, Steve Cortez later in the show, Perez, the head of DNC, saying, hey, it's foreign influences getting those. | ||
| It's foreign influence that's affecting this Hispanic vote. | ||
| Foreign influence. | ||
| Gotta go there. | ||
| John Frederick, Radio Network, Real America Voice, over 35, closing in on 36 million downloads. | ||
| Podcasts on fire. | ||
| And just for the podcast, we just put up the show. | ||
| I want to thank everybody on today. | ||
| Look, this is where we're going to give you the information on geopolitics, finance, capital markets, the pandemic, where we're always the lead and the head of. | ||
| All of that. | ||
| You make your own decisions. | ||
| We're also going to fire people up. | ||
| To make sure the ongoing takeover of the husk, the empty husk that is the Republican Party. | ||
| This is not about the RNC. | ||
| This is about taking it over at the state level, at the community level, at your local precinct. | ||
| Dan Schultz is going to be in it. | ||
| 67,000 people hit his site last week. | ||
| We're going to get that. | ||
| We want everybody in the audience, when Schultz is on, to hit his website. | ||
| We want to melt down the service. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've had it. | |
| But get it up there. | ||
| I want it up there. | ||
| I want it to spread. | ||
| No, but here's why. | ||
| I gave a speech. | ||
| A group of deplorables, Lou Murray and the crowd, came to me. | ||
| A group of deplorables, Mr. Bannon, could you please give us a Lincoln Day speech, breakfast. | ||
| I did it, right here from the War Room. | ||
| The crack producing team set it up, I think it was before the show on Saturday. | ||
| And I gave it like a 20, 30 minute talk comparing President Lincoln to Trump and said, hey, this whole thing about, you know, unity and group hugs and everything like that. | ||
| The great presidents, when they were in the lead up to their presidency and when they were presidents, were not uniters. | ||
| They were dividers. | ||
| They were contentious, because they had a system of belief and ideas to take the country to the next level. | ||
| Only in the long view of history are they considered Uniners. | ||
| Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Ronald Reagan, the big five, right? | ||
| General Washington's at a whole different category, right? | ||
| The founder of the country. | ||
| But those five, all disruptors and hated during their lifetimes, You know, everything from revolts to civil wars were hated in their lifetimes, hated, despised, took the country to the next level, right? | ||
| All of them, you know, evolved in some way in a fourth turning, although Roosevelt might have been a little early in the third, fourth turning. | ||
| We're in one now. | ||
| That's what Donald Trump represents. | ||
| And I did lay out the case that I think he ought to get very involved in 2022 immediately to essentially run, head the program. | ||
| Either run for Congress down there or you don't have to. | ||
| Just head up the program. | ||
| Let's have a sweeping victory. | ||
| We are positioned to have a Tea Party type win in 2022. | ||
| A sweeping. | ||
| The RNC's already, or the Congressional Committee's got 47 targets. | ||
| I think there's more than that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You could have a 50 sweep. | |
| Because we just had a massive victory. | ||
| Kick off the covers. | ||
| We're doing fine. | ||
| And now we know where we contest this and resist. | ||
| I'm sorry the mainstream media doesn't want that. | ||
| We're not going to do a group hug. | ||
| We're never going to submit. | ||
| OK? | ||
| We just had a sweeping victory. | ||
| Sorry if you don't like that. | ||
| We can get Peter Navarro or everybody else walking through the details. | ||
| But we just had a sweeping victory. | ||
| This is a red country with a couple of big blue cities and all the university towns. | ||
| But besides that, it's a red country. | ||
| It is Trump country. | ||
| And to have the Uniparty and Mitch McConnell just outright lie. | ||
| Said that they were all motivated by a speech? | ||
| I don't think that got proven, Mitch. | ||
| Mitch McConnell has got to go. | ||
| He's a poison in this. | ||
| He's got to start representing the party he represents. | ||
| He and his wife got to start being on the side of the party they represent, the Uniparty. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And no, he's now the second part of that. | ||
| Yesterday he dumps on Lara Trump and others. | ||
| He doesn't want any MAGA senators, right? | ||
| He wants his crew. | ||
| You've got to remember, in 16, it was Trump that dragged Burr across the goal line. | ||
| It was Trump that dragged Blunt across the goal line. | ||
| It was Trump that dragged Johnson. | ||
| Mitch McConnell's not leader if it's not for Donald Trump. | ||
| You go back and look at that CBS interview, when I gave the interview at 60 Minutes, three hours long, three hours, put up on Charlie Rose, three hours long, a three hour interview, they could ask me any question. | ||
| I owned Charlie Rose and they knew it. | ||
| By the way, the longest, the first two segments they'd had in, I think, 20 years. | ||
| Two segments on 60 Minutes. | ||
| What did I say? | ||
| Why'd I leave? | ||
| Boom. | ||
| On Ryan and McConnell. | ||
| Not that I had much backup, but that's a story for another day. | ||
| I said it right there on 60 Minutes, it was go after McConnell and Ryan because they were trying to destroy Trump's America First agenda. | ||
| So the Boston Herald, this was a group of deplorables at a breakfast, I think they had one reporter there, I don't even think he's from the Herald, I think he's from a local newspaper. | ||
| But they jumped on it, and the reason they jumped on it is that's the program. | ||
| Donald Trump's the leader of this movement. | ||
| He's the leader of the Republican Party. | ||
| Anybody, you know, Lindsey Graham's going to go down and talk to him, you know, oh, the MAGA movement should continue. | ||
| Hey, thanks, Lindsey. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| Lindsey Graham told us we can continue. | ||
| I want to thank you, Lindsey, after botching, and don't be high-fiving that they didn't quit, right? | ||
| They backed the president off the central part, which was to show the receipts. | ||
| You saw Navarro on Saturday. | ||
| Look how powerful that would have been in the well of the Senate. | ||
| That's still going to come for another day. | ||
| We're never going to back off that, by the way. | ||
| The wound of November 3rd will not heal until Biden and these guys. | ||
| And by the way, can Biden stop? | ||
| I don't want to chase the noise, but what's with the video games? | ||
| We're going to get Dr. Ryan on here later. | ||
| This COVID thing is worse now than ever. | ||
| You've got other variants coming in. | ||
| We don't even know. | ||
| There's no research being done on children. | ||
| We have no earthy idea what's going on. | ||
| Raheem Kassam. | ||
| And by the way, I want to get to the Lincoln Project. | ||
| I want to get to it all today. | ||
| We've got so much. | ||
| This show is so packed. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| And we're opening, the second front is opening, ladies and gentlemen, in California. | ||
| The laboratory of every bad idea the Democratic Party's had. | ||
| We've got the leader of one of the movements out there that is bringing this to fruition, the recall of Gavin Newsom. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So Rahim, your thoughts? | ||
| Analysis? | ||
| Well, Senator Chris Murphy tweeted on December the 24th. | ||
| He said, get off the golf course, Mr. President. | ||
| It's Christmas Eve and people are starving, facing eviction. | ||
| Think about someone other than yourself for a millisecond and sign the bill. | ||
| Fast forward just a couple of weeks, February 13th, Chris Murphy tweets, the two things I'm best at, politics and Mario Kart. | ||
| Thus I feel like I've been preparing my whole life to play Mario Kart at Camp David awaiting invite. | ||
| And this of course is in reference to the report we got this weekend that President Biden competed in Mario Kart against his granddaughter Naomi. | ||
| Says he barely won this weekend. | ||
| You know, you would think with the CCP, with the Wuhan fiasco, and we're going to have Natalie Winters on here next, all the lies and misrepresentation being told by the mainstream media. | ||
| Now, WHO, CNN is breaking a big exclusive, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Of course, if you had watched this show on January 23rd of last year, of 2020, you would have gotten the same information. | ||
| But CNN is breaking a huge exclusive, lead story on their website, huge exclusive. | ||
| Virus may have been actually in Wuhan prior to when they announced it in November and December at least of 2019. | ||
| Uh, you would have said that on the very opening show. | ||
| So CNN, once again, a year late. | ||
| They were, what, three months late on calling it a pandemic, Raheem? | ||
| What did they say on the Bill Maher show the other day, right? | ||
| It's, they've ignored the information because they didn't like the messenger. | ||
| Didn't like the messenger. | ||
| Okay, the messenger... Hey, I don't like the messenger either. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, the messenger and his sidekick. | ||
| The messenger and his sidekick will return on War Room Pandemic in just a second. | ||

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we've got so much to get through, we've got to chop our way through this. | ||
| I want to go to, we've got Ducklow, you've got another scalp, he's gone, right? | ||
| After identifying the Deputy Press Secretary, he's now got the boot? | ||
| Right, so this is TJ Ducklow, and I think the headline should be, if I ran the tabloids in the US, it would be DuckDuckGone. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Why is this important? | ||
| Why should we waste our time of this powerful audience on something that sounds like noise, not signal? | ||
| It doesn't sound like noise. | ||
| I think most people realize, firstly, the old adage, right? | ||
| Personnel is policy. | ||
| without people who are in there, Ron Klain, who's really running that show, they call him the Prime Minister, right? Ron Klain's people, the people they brought in, Jen Psaki, all this. Why is Jen Psaki and the whole circle back? It's not because it's funny. Yeah, sure, it's funny, but at the same time, it's a weak point. It's a very clear weak point in the Biden White House. And these people who are on the front lines of selling the message of the administration, the regime, | ||
| into the public are threatening reporters behind the scenes, are acting with a greater immorality than the fingers that they pointed at anyone else. But producer Cameron points out in the break, Why is that supposed to shock me? It wasn't Biden that fired him. Remember, Biden said you treat anyone with disrespect day one, you're fired. No ifs, ands or buts. He resigned. The information warfare they've got, they've got Jill in the thing with the front lawn of the White House with | ||
| with the big signs, peace, love, all that. | ||
| Gone down to Party City. | ||
| They're talking about him. | ||
| Did they ever show a president, he's sending a valentine To his wife, and they're making a big deal about the Valentines, playing the video games with the grandkids. | ||
| They're trying to make him like your uncle before they make a move on him, right? | ||
| This guy gets through the end of... The number one job, if I was the Bidens, the number one job I would have at the White House, I would be recruiting food tasters. | ||
| I'd be recruiting food tasters. | ||
| By the way, it's a metaphor. | ||
| Recruiting food tasters. | ||
| Okay, Lincoln Project, absolutely imploding. | ||
| These guys are the worst guys on earth because they're traitors to conservatism. | ||
| They totally sold out for money. | ||
| You can see all the Democratic donors they got to try to defeat President Trump. | ||
| I think they did have an impact, particularly in Arizona. | ||
| Sure they had an impact. | ||
| Yeah, we have to admit that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| When you've got 90 million dollars. | ||
| 90 million dollars goes a long way. | ||
| And the spots were good. | ||
| I think the spots were good. | ||
| The spots were tough. | ||
| But, talk about hypocrites. | ||
| Now, this thing, and to have Meghan McCain come out and say nobody knew about this. | ||
| This guy's been a problem and had issues for a long time. | ||
| I'm sure the investigations, I think the FBI's involved in this, there ought to be other independent, I know National Pulse is all over this, that this thing stinks to high heaven. | ||
| And it's a lot deeper than the Lincoln Project. | ||
| It goes back to the, Kasich, the whole McCain operation, this guy was central. | ||
| To McCainism. | ||
| He's the guy that came up with the Straight Talk Express. | ||
| This was John McCain stuff. | ||
| And by the way, his issues didn't come up here recently, the pedophilia and the going after the young boys. | ||
| Trust me, when they drilled down on this, this has been an issue for a while. | ||
| Well the tell is really quite an incredible tell as well, which is that none of the corporate media wants to talk about it. | ||
| MSNBC in fact I think issued a statement saying it's still book people that are affiliated with the Lincoln Project at this point in time. | ||
| But also an organization like that, I mean you've run your fair share of organizations, you know that an organization like that doesn't fall apart in the space of two weeks on the basis of a singular accusation like that. | ||
| You know, things play out, you have investigations, and they tried to do that at first. | ||
| But the Raz are jumping from the sinking ship faster than you can imagine right now. | ||
| People are wrapping up all of their tax affairs, everything. | ||
| Well, Jen Horne, I mean, she was the major player of this. | ||
| She leaves with huge issues about how they ran it. | ||
| Total crickets. | ||
| You haven't seen people all over her. | ||
| If this was a Trump organization, that would be page one every day somewhere. | ||
| So where's Kurt Bardella? | ||
| Kurt Bardella, the communications genius, right, that used to swan around this building, Kurt Bardella, who jumped ship, jumped ship because Corey Lewandowski grabbed Michelle Fields in a way that he didn't like, jumped ship from- Grabbed her wrist. | ||
| Grabbed her wrist, right. | ||
| Touched her wrist. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When she was too close to the principal during the campaign, people need to remember that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kurt Bardello's, oh this is an outrage, a disgrace, blah blah blah. | |
| He's sticking around John Weaver for years while all of this has been going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'd like to see those text messages. | ||
| By the way, Megan McCain. | ||
| Can we see the text? Can Kurt Bardella, who's been a Kurt brother, can you, let's see your text message of John Weaver just saying. | ||
| Megan, just finally, Megan McCain, she issued this tweet that says, you know, John Weaver has been persona non grata with the McCain family since 2008. | ||
| I think she even said if he was on fire we wouldn't have even spit on him. It was 2000... | ||
| I think she used even rougher vernacular. | ||
| Right. It was, it was a year later, McCain was tweeting out, great hit on television, John Weaver. | ||
| That was phenomenal Yeah, she didn't know the way back machine existed, but that turns out her statement was how do you say truthiness? | ||
| Yeah truthiness. | ||
| I want to go to the biggest though the to the mega signal The reason your life is all screwed up is because of the Chinese Communist Party virus. | ||
| The top three politicians in the country, Donald Trump, Gavin Newsom, and Andrew Cuomo, have all gotten wrapped around the axle because of the Chinese Communist Party virus. | ||
| If you hadn't had the mail-in ballots, they wouldn't have been able to steal this thing, right? | ||
| First off, all the illegal voting they did, we could nail it right there, but you add on top of it the mail-in ballots, no chance. | ||
| Zero chance. | ||
| Less than zero chance. | ||
| Cuomo was the darling. | ||
| Remember, we had the WABC show there for the month. | ||
| I think it was March and it was so intense. | ||
| He won an Emmy. | ||
| He got a massive book deal. | ||
| This guy, they were switching him out, switching him in for Biden at the time. | ||
| He was a darling. | ||
| Gavin Newsom was going to be 2024. | ||
| Gavin Newsom was the rock star. | ||
| Gavin Newsom is about to be recalled. | ||
| We're going to have the leader of that effort on at 11 o'clock. | ||
| We're going to have, and then we're going to have Dr. Ryan in the same half hour talk about the travails of Cuomo and what this means for the nation. | ||
| So a second front in the confrontation with the Biden administration is being opened up in California and this is where I think you bleed out the Biden administration. | ||
| It's on a second front in California. | ||
| Every bad idea the Biden administration has almost always starts in California. | ||
| They've gotten a free ride, the ability to crank out cash and crank out bad ideas. | ||
| But the big one is Wuhan. | ||
| There's WHO, the lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| I just want to go to our favorite, the propaganda arm of the Party of Davos. | ||
| Financial Times of London last week, WHO team says Wuhan lab leak. | ||
| Highly unlikely as source of virus. | ||
| I keep this one right here to mock and ridicule him, right? | ||
| Because that was a bald-faced lie when it was told. | ||
| They're already backing off that. | ||
| WHO heads are getting so hammered. | ||
| Even Jake Sullivan. | ||
| In the National Security Advisor, you can't get more pro-CCP than this guy is, right? | ||
| They give a little happy talk, right? | ||
| A little thing, oh, we're going to confront, confront, confront. | ||
| They're all Caltone. | ||
| We still like to know Jake Sullivan's involvement up there at the Belford Center about raising CCP money. | ||
| But they come out and they say, hey, you know, we're a long way from agreeing that the lab, that it came from a wet market, right? | ||
| The WHO, we don't agree with the initial assessment. | ||
| They've already walked it back. | ||
| And now CNN with their super exclusive Super-exclusive, hey! | ||
| Super-exclusive, inside Intel, inside baseball. | ||
| The virus might actually have been in Wuhan broader than reported by the CCP and the WHO and world media back in November, December 2019. | ||
| I think there's a guy who gave his life to his fellow men and women in Wuhan, Dr. Lee, who told you all that. | ||
| And Dr. Li-Ming Yang amplified that, that this was a problem. | ||
| But let's get Natalie in here. | ||
| You guys did an amazing job of also breaking this down and actually going to get some scalps here. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it was live on the show when Dr. Yang was joining us that I first heard her talking about where this latest critique was coming from, and that's a place called the Shorenstein Center, the Harvard Shorenstein Center. | ||
| Now, of course, we've reported on the other parts of Harvard that have been well in on this. | ||
| Jake Sullivan and all of these guys. | ||
| So let's bring in Nathalie to talk about this here. | ||
| Nathalie, in those moments I said to you, hey, let's find out what we can overnight about the Shorenstein Center. | ||
| You came back to me with about 60 links and 1,500 words written overnight. | ||
| Walk us through it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, this story about how the Shorenstein Center is attempting to discredit the study of Dr. Yan is really a prime example of what happens when the Chinese Communist Party plows cash, plows personnel into these institutions, into these schools, and effectively requisitions American institutions like the Harvard Shorenstein Center into centers that push out propaganda on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| For over two decades, this center, which again is situated within the Harvard Kennedy School, which has a long track record of taking hundreds of millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party and refusing to disclose the specific number of which they're taking from this government, has hosted fellows who have extensive ties to the Chinese government. | ||
| For example, one person in the bio listed on the Harvard Shorenstein site describes himself as, quote, having been invited by the state council offices over the years to lecture more than 20,000 senior Chinese officials. | ||
| This individual also doubles as a former editor-in-chief at a state-run Chinese media outlet and also holds a professorship at the Chinese Communist Party Central Academy of Socialism. | ||
| If you read the article, there's a host of fellows. | ||
| Basically, all of them have ties to the Chinese state media network. | ||
| I think another interesting kind of buried lead here is one of the individuals actually lectured to the Chinese Communist Party on crisis communications. | ||
| And I would say a prime example of a Chinese Communist Party sponsored crisis communications is what you're seeing in the Shorenstein report, which interestingly enough, is not only authored by the research director at the Shorenstein Center, but it doesn't really advance any of its own scientific analysis. | ||
| Instead, it relies on the findings of MIT and Johns Hopkins, other institutions that are seriously in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And if you look into the citations of those reports and who they're relying on to discredit Dr. Yan's study, interestingly enough, they are studies entirely funded by the Chinese Communist Party, by the Chinese military, even by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. | ||
| Hang on one second, we're going to hold you over. | ||
| We've got Steve Cortez. | ||
| This young woman is a rock star. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| She is dropping a hammer. | ||
| Dropping a hammer on the traitors among you. | ||
| They're taking money from the CCP and trying to obfuscate the biological weapons program that this came out of. | ||
| This is going to be the scandal of this decade. | ||
| The cover-up. | ||
| For the CCP, and now she's all over Harvard University, and particularly the School of Government, with all these highfalutin big mouths on TV all the time. | ||
| Returning, Natalie Winters, National Pulse, Raheem Kassam, Steve Cortez, on the Pandemic, War Room, next. | ||

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. | ||
| By the way, we're going to have Steve Cortez on in a moment, and we're going to talk at the beginning of that about Curtis Ellis, an American patriot, American hero, and one of the heroes of the MAGA movement who passed away yesterday in New York City. | ||
| John Frederick is going to join us later, Rahim and myself, to attribute to Curtis later in the show, a true MAGA hero. | ||
| I want to go back to Natalie Winters. | ||
| Natalie, Dr. Gallo, the lead, and I knew there was something up when I pointed to you guys. | ||
| I said, this guy is the guy they singled out, but they didn't give any other background to him at all. | ||
| Tell us about Dr. Gallo, who is the tip of the spear, the one they recruited to attack the 2020 Woman of the Year, Dr. Lee Mignon. | ||
| Sure, so he's the lead researcher on that MIT report I was talking about. | ||
| They quote him as totally discrediting Dr. Yan's report. | ||
| But interestingly enough, he's not only been given awards by the Chinese Communist Party from state-run organizations, been praised by China's CDC director, He also has an institution based in China named after him where they do extensive scientific research and he also set up a school in Baltimore at the University of Maryland. | ||
| Hang on, none of that was mentioned in the article. | ||
| The Washington Post, democracy dies in Dartmouth as you attack, attack, attack Dr. Yan and try to destroy her. | ||
| You also attack this audience because the War Room, we were the supporting cast of that, and particularly the War Room audience. | ||
| You know, these bunch of deplorables, right? | ||
| Dangerous. | ||
| Domestic terrorists, right? | ||
| That fostered this conspiracy, which you now know is a lie. | ||
| You know it's a lie. | ||
| Gallo is up to his neck with the CCP. | ||
| He's on the payroll of the CCP. | ||
| You did not mention it in your articles. | ||
| I don't want to hear about Marty Baron and all you guys. | ||
| You're all a bunch of liars and a bunch of phonies. | ||
| Stem to stern, okay? | ||
| You went after a woman to destroy her. | ||
| Someone who defected from a country to try to bring the message to save her own people and to save the American people. | ||
| And look where we are a year into this thing. | ||
| Look where we are. | ||
| And you try to destroy her and you didn't disclose the simple fact that the weapon you tried to use, the instrument you tried to use, is bought and paid for by guess who? | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You people are disgusting. | ||
| So just before, Natalie, before you come back in on this, I actually had an exchange with the Washington Post on this very issue, so I'll jump in here and let you know what they said. | ||
| So I emailed with the reporter, Craig Timberg, about this story. | ||
| He looped in the Washington Post's PR department, and this late Shani George writes back to me, who's the Director of Communications for the Washington Post. | ||
| So you know they're taking it pretty seriously. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| So they go through my article. | ||
| Because they get caught. | ||
| and they say the Washington Post has a strictly observed policy of not accepting free trips from anyone, Natalie, they're talking about the QSF stuff there. | ||
| The Post also does not have a relationship with China Daily and stopped publishing its advertisements in 2019. | ||
| So firstly they're accepting that they have had a relationship with China Daily, state-run Chinese Communist Party media, recently. | ||
| People would say 2019 is pretty recently. | ||
| The second part of that is, Natalie, they say, has a strictly observed policy of not accepting free trips from anyone, because we talk about how they are listed in the FARRA filings under QSEF as taking freebies from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So I went back to them, and I sent them the link to the FARRA filing, Natalie, and said, okay, well, you say that, you're mentioned in this FARRA filing. | ||
| So if it's incorrect, why don't you clarify the record, get the FARRA filing changed right now. | ||
| If it's not incorrect, I'd like to know who went on that trip. | ||
| Silence. | ||
| No response. | ||
| And you haven't said anything about Dr. Gallo. | ||
| Natalie, go ahead and finish up. | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| I think the last part of the Gallo story is that what he was doing in China, he actually started doing in the States. | ||
| He set up a research institute at the University of Maryland that he staffed Basically, virtually exclusively with Chinese Communist Party-linked researchers, which is especially concerning and dangerous given the host of indictments from the Department of Justice we've seen against researchers who fail to disclose ties to the Chinese Communist Party, steal research, steal intellectual property, and more. | ||
| Okay, I want to say, fantastic report. | ||
| We're going to have more of this young woman as a rock star, because she will drill down into the documents and do the hard work you need to expose these liars. | ||
| Also, I want to give a heads up to my alma mater, Harvard University. | ||
| The Kennedy School, the finishing school, and by the way, the Kennedy School of Government is a total joke. | ||
| You've got to understand something, right? | ||
| You've got the law school, you've got the business school, you've got the medical school. | ||
| You know, you used to have the Divinity School. | ||
| You got the postgraduate schools that are real and serious. | ||
| And then you got the joke. | ||
| The Harvard School of Government is for people that can't hack it at the law school or the business school. | ||
| It's to give them some sort of bogus diploma. | ||
| Let them hang out there and be a fellow. | ||
| Every person over there is a third-rater. | ||
| But it's a nest. | ||
| of Chinese Communist Party intelligence assets and we're going to show you. | ||
| So just putting you on notice, Harvard University has been taking money, you've been taking money from the CCP for years, not disclosing it, trying to hide it, and we're going to start stripping the mask off that. | ||
| It is outrageous that what was once a great American institution is now on the side of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They just had the president over there with Xi, and remember they pulled down, they were going to have something on social media or some discussion panel, and they stopped it because she's over there with Xi, you know, trying to shake down the Chinese Communist Party money tree. | ||
| Money tree. | ||
| You're taking money from a genocidal regime that's trying to destroy the Uyghurs. | ||
| Why would the Kennedy School of Government be all over that? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Natalie, you're a rock star. | ||
| What's your Twitter handle? | ||
| People have to follow this young woman. | ||
| She's the, if not the best, one of the top small handful of great investigative reporters in this city. | ||
| Natalie, how do people get to you? | ||
| My Twitter is Natalie G. Winters and very quickly I will say that the Harvard Kennedy School has actually advised institutions that have been sanctioned for helping to perpetuate the genocide in Xinjiang. | ||
| Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. | ||
| It's a bad day when Natalie Winters gets you in her gun sights. | ||
| It's going to be bad. | ||
| Not good things will happen, trust me. | ||
| She's going to rip the mask off all your lives. | ||
| We've got a lot more to do on this Bloomberg, Gallo, all that. | ||
| That's the Washington Post crickets. | ||
| Those are the easy ones. | ||
| You haven't asked the one about Gallo. | ||
| Why did you not say that Gallo was on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party when you reported his bogus report attacking Dr. Yan? | ||
| And his big excuse was, oh, the PLA would have been much worse. | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a disgrace. | ||
| It's got to go all the way up to Bezos, another guy that's in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You're in bed, you're infiltrated, you're compromised. | ||
| You're totally compromised. | ||
| You tried to destroy a young woman who came, left her country to come here so that she could help to save her country and notify the West about what was going on. | ||
| And you use a guy who's on their payroll to attack her and you don't mention it. | ||
| Democracy dies in darkness. | ||
| You guys are so phony, it's ridiculous. | ||
| Makes me sick. | ||
| Natalie, thank you very much for now on. | ||
| I was going to say, it wasn't a warning, it was a mission statement. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| By the way, Steve, Curtis Ellis, as you know, Peter Navarro and Curtis Ellis were the two foundational elements of all the hard work that got done for decades on, really, the economic nationalism. | ||
| Just a great man, a kind man, a gentleman, and just a good man. | ||
| But man, so important to our movement. | ||
| Passed away in New York City, John Fredrickson. | ||
| I did a special with him. | ||
| We're going to put up a tribute to Curtis this morning. | ||
| I did have a chance to talk with Curtis, although he couldn't really talk back, on Sunday, before he died, a couple hours, and just spent like 30 minutes with his significant other, just telling him how much he meant to this movement, how much he meant to America, how much he meant to American workers, and how his legacy will never be forgotten. | ||
| Steve Cortes. | ||
| Steve, Curtis Ellis was an absolute patriot. | ||
| He was a friend of mine, somebody that I will dearly miss. | ||
| He did enormous work for this country. | ||
| A lot of behind the scenes. | ||
| He's not necessarily known broadly to the public, but he was instrumental. | ||
| He was so early in identifying the threat that the Chinese Communist Party was to America. | ||
| And he was such an early nationalist and provided the intellectual framework, which Donald Trump then took as the persuasive and charismatic communicator of that intellectual message. | ||
| So the two of them, I think, were critical Complete package. | ||
| other. I got the chance to work with Curtis at the America First PAC, the President's PAC, before I joined the campaign and I have to tell you he was intrepid, he was a gentleman, he was funny, he was one of the best writers that I've ever read. He will be dearly missed, a great American patriot. Complete package. | ||
| By the way, so the movement that he fought for and really worked up to the day he died, the MAGA movement, the America First, Lindsey Graham says on TV, hey, the MAGA movement can go ahead and continue. | ||
| He was gracious enough, Steve, to allow us to continue to do our work. | ||
| What do you think of Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham's performance over this weekend, sir? | ||
| You know, I think they live in a fantasy land. | ||
| I really do. | ||
| It's despicable. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| I can't really come up with enough adjectives to describe how regrettable their actions and their words have been in recent days. | ||
| Here's the reality. | ||
| There is not a battle for the party, not at the voter level, okay? | ||
| And that's not just my opinion. | ||
| Let me give you some data on that. | ||
| According to Axios polling that was taken on January 13th, That's the day the president was impeached for the second time in a second farcical impeachment. | ||
| 92% of Trump voters said they want him to be the nominee in 2024. | ||
| So there is near unanimity among voters in this country that the Republican Party has been transformed largely because of the incredible leadership of Donald Trump into an America first populist nationalist workers movement. | ||
| Now a lot of people like Lindsey Graham and minority Mitch McConnell They will not accept that fact, and I will admit there is a chasm, okay? | ||
| There is a battle going on among legacy office holders of the Republican Party, and perhaps among the donor class as well. | ||
| That's to be expected. | ||
| You know, we can't expect, Steve, that we come in with this insurgent political movement, okay? | ||
| And through the ballot box, take over the Republican Party, and as I said, transform it from what was previously a corporatist country club party into a workers party. | ||
| We can't expect that the Washington establishment of both parties is going to simply acquiesce and that they will readily acquiesce and give up power. | ||
| That simply was not going to happen. | ||
| It is not happening. | ||
| But here's the great news. | ||
| Steve, let's think about what's happened for our movement in just the last week. | ||
| Because here on President's Day, it's easy for us to get Understandably frustrated, right, that we believe there is a president in the Oval Office today who was not legitimately elected by the legal vote. | ||
| But let's also put that in context. | ||
| What happened last week? | ||
| You know, I took a list here. | ||
| There are really, I think, five incredible developments for our movement. | ||
| Number one, of course, impeachment crumbled. | ||
| Number two, the Lincoln Project imploded. | ||
| Number three, Governor Newsom recalled, or likely about to be recalled. | ||
| Number four, the Charlottesville lie, which was in many ways the foundational myth of the resistance movement. | ||
| The Charlottesville lie, totally exposed in the well of the Senate of the United States. | ||
| And then number five, Cuomo revealed in New York as the hypocrite and perhaps criminal that he is. | ||
| These are massive wins. | ||
| I mean, any one of these, Steve, would make for a good week for the America First movement. | ||
| When you put all five of these together in one week, that tells me this movement, again, is young, it is powerful, it is growing, and ultimately we are going to prevail and not people like Liz Cheney and Richard Burr and Minority Mitch and Lindsey Graham. | ||
| They are the past. | ||
| This is an America First future. | ||
| This movement is young. | ||
| Believe in it. | ||
| Work for it. | ||
| But that's the key too. | ||
| We have to continue to work for it. | ||
| We're going to ask you to stay over the break. | ||
| I want to drill down on these wins, particularly in the opening of the second front, because following you is going to be Tom DelBaccaro, who's heading up the effort out there to recall Newsom. | ||
| This is a whole second front. | ||
| It's like World War II. | ||
| This is the Russian front. | ||
| There's a whole second front that's being opened up. | ||
| Real quickly, you've got about a minute. | ||
| This outrage of what the DNC head is saying about the Hispanic vote and Donald Trump. | ||
| President Trump, the Hispanic vote is coming our way, working class Hispanics, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| What is the head of the DNC saying about Steve Cortez and the Hispanic vote? | ||
| Yeah, Tom Perez says we've been fooled. | ||
| We've been fooled by a misinformation campaign. | ||
| That's his exact quote in the New York Times interview he gave over the weekend. | ||
| He says we were fooled by a misinformation campaign that involved foreign actors. | ||
| Okay, so that's another way of saying, once again, Russia or other such ridiculous fairy tales that we didn't make up our own minds as intelligent citizens of this country, utilizing our own agency, our own intellects to decide, you know what, this America First movement is actually working for Hispanic Americans. | ||
| No, according to Tom Perez, in his condescension, Hispanics were fooled. | ||
| They were tricked into supporting the America First movement. | ||
| Now it's reprehensible that he would say something like that, Steve, and it's just incredibly dismissive, but I will tell you, part of me as a partisan is also glad because it tells me that he does not understand, or at least he's not willing to admit the reality of why Hispanics are rallying to this cause. | ||
| And they got nothing in their toolbox. | ||
| A short commercial break. | ||
| Steve Cortez is going to join us after the break. | ||
| We're going to drill down more on where the movement goes from here next on War and 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. | ||
| If we can get up after we pull Cortez back, because Cortez looks like a male model, right? | ||
| And always Natalia Tired, the king of the wasp, right? | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| Steve, another Georgetown graduate, I might add. | ||
| Steve, where does the, and I'm going to put the Boston Herald thing up after you get rolling, the cover story of the Boston Herald is off my speech to the Lincoln Day Breakfast the other day. | ||
| Not the Lincoln Project. | ||
| Not the Lincoln Project, no. | ||
| It's disgusting they took the Lincoln Project. | ||
| You're one of the leaders of this movement. | ||
| Particularly, you're a combination of an intellectual leader and also a person that gets stuff done. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| And President Trump, you're obviously very, very close to the President. | ||
| In fact, you're in Palm Beach. | ||
| I know you're down there at the Real America Voice studios. | ||
| I think you're going to be on with the famous Dr. Gina Loudon later in the day. | ||
| Where does this movement go from here? | ||
| You know, I've got this piece in the thing, I gave this speech about Trump, you know, going to be Speaker of the House in 2022, impeach Biden and then run for the presidency and win a sweeping victory in 2024 after taking the House. | ||
| Where do you think it goes? | ||
| And how do you think it fights the globalists that are in the Republican Party, the Mitch McConnell reaction, the rearguard action of the globalists? | ||
| Tell us where we go and how do we win? | ||
| Well, you know, Steve, first of all, I agree with you. | ||
| We are going to win. | ||
| This was, again, an incredible week of winning. | ||
| That's important to keep that in context. | ||
| I think also regarding just a quick word on recent history regarding context, let's remember that, say, President's Day of 2015. | ||
| Donald Trump was not yet in politics, right? | ||
| That's only six years ago. | ||
| A lot of us in the America First movement were not yet in politics. | ||
| I myself was not. | ||
| So it's amazing what has already been accomplished in a relatively short amount of time, and it portends so positively For the future of what we are still going to accomplish. | ||
| Now how do we do it? | ||
| Let's get specific. | ||
| Right now for 2021, I believe that there had to be two primary goals. | ||
| One is we need to clean up the voting systems in these states. | ||
| So we need to go in all of these state legislatures around the country, particularly the most contested states, but even in states that are largely settled, Because we can still pick up seats in those states. | ||
| For example, in deeply blue California, we picked up four congressional seats this recent election. | ||
| So we need to do our best in state capitals to make sure that the voting rules and procedures are constitutional and solid. | ||
| That's a 2021 agenda item. | ||
| I think the second item for this year is to recruit candidates. | ||
| America First Republican Nationalist candidates. | ||
| People who meet the mark in terms of their ideology, their belief system, in terms of their skill sets, particularly as it relates to media skills, and then lastly guts. | ||
| And that's maybe the most important of the three criteria. | ||
| We need people with backbone and guts. | ||
| If we recruit those candidates now, Train them, finance them in 2021. | ||
| Then we're ready for the 22 primaries and general elections. | ||
| We then elect a Republican House, at least, hopefully Senate as well. | ||
| And I don't mean a Republican House that's led by squishes like Paul Ryan or, on the Senate side, Mitch McConnell. | ||
| I mean America First Republicans who believe in the movement and will then set the stage for 2024, where I believe we'll re-elect President Trump. | ||
| But whether it's Trump or some other America First candidate, We're going to take power again. | ||
| And the folks out there, look, I know there's a lot of understandable consternation. | ||
| There's a lot of frustration right now in the America First movement because people are so rightly frustrated that we lost this election, not because we lost the legal vote, but because of machinations. | ||
| And look, I get it. | ||
| I get the angst, but I also I want to implore everybody out there in the America First movement, all the patriots, to focus and keep moving. | ||
| The momentum is on our side. | ||
| We have a very, very bright future. | ||
| This movement is going to dominate American politics for decades. | ||
| And I believe that, and President Trump believes that. | ||
| I want to go to some of the specifics. | ||
| I mean, Mitch McConnell, the speech he gave after the vote, then what he said over the weekend, and particularly seemed to be singling out Lara Trump. | ||
| Now, I know you know her very well. | ||
| You've worked with her on the campaign, and obviously a fantastic candidate, but is the Burr seat, and particularly Burr would not be in the Senate if it was not for Trump. | ||
| Trump dragged him across the finish line at six. | ||
| Remember, he was at 16. | ||
| He was down by, I think, three points in that weekend leading up to it. | ||
| It was Donald Trump. | ||
| And the great Mark Meadows, as our strategist down there, that won North Carolina. | ||
| The Burr seat. | ||
| And I think, did Mitch McConnell go out of his way to insult Lara Trump, as you've got to have electable candidates? | ||
| Is that going to be the first proxy war in the Senate? | ||
| Is it going to be the Lara Trump candidacy in North Carolina? | ||
| You know, it might well be, and I have no idea if she is in fact going to run, but I would be one of her most enthusiastic supporters. | ||
| And by the way, she's certainly one of those criteria I talked about for candidates. | ||
| She hits all of those marks, particularly media skills. | ||
| I mean, she hits that one absolutely out of the park. | ||
| I think she's pretty high in the guts department too, right? | ||
| Media skills and ideology. | ||
| No, she hits it out of the park on all of those. | ||
| But by the way, I want to say a word about Senator Burr, because I think this is instructive. | ||
| And tell you just a quick personal story. | ||
| When the stock trading scandals came out about Kelly Loeffler and Senator Burr, I said publicly, this needs to be really looked into. | ||
| This looks incredibly swampy. | ||
| This is not consistent with America First. | ||
| Okay, a lot of people in the Trump world asked me to be quiet about this. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I shouldn't have in retrospect because Senator Burr, he's lucky that he was not indicted. | ||
| He got confidential briefings from public health officials just over a year ago. | ||
| This was February of 2020. | ||
| He got confidential briefings about just how bad this virus was going to be on a global basis. | ||
| What did he do on February 13th? | ||
| In 33 separate stock transactions, he dumped $1.7 million of personal stock holdings. | ||
| At the same time, he wrote an op-ed to tell the public, we have this under control. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| He is, unfortunately, a swamp dinosaur. | ||
| He represents the worst of the Washington swamp. | ||
| I don't care if he has an R after his name. | ||
| He does not represent the people of North Carolina. | ||
| He does not represent the real Republican Party. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Shame on me for not continuing at the time, Steve, to go after him publicly because it was wrong then and it was a precursor perhaps to his recent actions now. | ||
| The people of North Carolina are angry and I hope and believe that they're going to elect an America First senator. | ||
| Laura Trump would be at the top of my list, but that's up to the people of the Tar Heel State. | ||
| By the way, that's the same Trump World guys I think that said, let's endorse Ben Sasse, let's endorse Mitt Romney. | ||
| I mean, the judgment calls, we don't need to get into it today, right? | ||
| It's an inner-squad scrimmage, but some of the calls... Okay, we've got to jump, but Steve, we're going to have California next, the second front. | ||
| Tom Del Vecchia is going to come on here and talk to us about it. | ||
| Steve, how do people follow you during the day? | ||
| How do they get to your show? | ||
| Please see me on Twitter, I'm at Cortez Steve, Cortez with an S, and I promised you I'm going to be putting up a lot more Chalk Talks. | ||
| I was walking down the street here in Florida, a complete stranger yelled, hey Cortez, Chalk Talks, love them. | ||
| So that tells me I gotta keep going. | ||
| Dude, they're the best. | ||
| They're the absolute best. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| You branded that. | ||
| OK, Steve Cortez, the great one. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us this morning on War and Pandemic. | ||
| That is main battery. | ||
| And of course, the shout out for Curtis Ellis, who passed away yesterday. | ||
| We're going to have a special about him later in the program. | ||
| Next, we're going to go to California. | ||
| The second front is open. | ||
| Biden administration is going to get bled out in California. |
