The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth. | ||
|

|
Now for more on the future of the Lincoln Project, let's bring in Republican Congressman from Florida, Matt Gaetz. | |
| He's a member of the House Judiciary Committee. | ||
| Congressman, welcome. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| What's your reaction to the apparent implosion of the Lincoln Project? | ||
| The Lincoln Project is the past, but there are new incarnations in the Republican Party of those who are trying to purge Trumpism from our movement. | ||
| And frankly, the most dangerous was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who took to the floor and essentially gave the Biden Justice Department cover to prosecute the president His son, even his supporters who didn't engage in any violent conduct on January 6th. | ||
| So I doubt we'll be talking about the Lincoln Project specifically going forward, but there will always be this bastion of the establishment. | ||
| And really that's what the Lincoln Project was. | ||
| They were a front group for establishment money to attack the president and the people who supported the president. | ||
| And that energy and that motivation will continue. | ||
| I see my colleague, Representative Adam Kinzinger, has set up a group to essentially do the same thing. | ||
| And so it's important that those who believe in the America First agenda continue to advocate for it and see that it has a role in our government going forward. | ||
| Boy, I got to tell you, that Mitch McConnell, the more I listen to it, that is a that is a speech that will live in infamy. | ||
| Absolutely unacceptable. | ||
| Okay, we're live from an occupied nation's capital. | ||
| We'll get into more about that later. | ||
| You're in the War Room, Monday the 15th of February, the year of the Lord, 2021. | ||
| A lot going on. | ||
| I want to go to meet Lee. | ||
| I got Raheem Kassam here, wingman today, just finished his podcast. | ||
| Magnificent reporting, by the way. | ||
| Natalie Winters got her piece up. | ||
| You guys are going, whether it's Lincoln Project, or whether it's Harvard, or whether it's running dogs for the Chinese Communist Party, National Pulse, I tell you, some of the best investigating reporting around town. | ||
| I want to bring in Boris Epstein. | ||
| Boris, we've got a lot to get to. | ||
| I want to talk to you about Cuomo in this I don't know if he thinks he can just BS his way and spin his way through because he won a daytime Emmy. | ||
| But this press conference this afternoon was pretty bizarre. | ||
| But I want to talk about Mitch McConnell and you got the great Matt Gaetz there and the future of the Republican Party, future direction of the Republican Party. | ||
| It's quite obvious. | ||
| We keep calling it a Republican establishment. | ||
| They are part of the globalist, elitist, Really secularist party, and as I described us, we're the populist, nationalist, traditionalist. | ||
| That's the dividing line. | ||
| It's very obvious, and anybody that can't see that, anybody you listen to that talks about politics, talks about old politics, Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, progressive, you got guys, you know, food fights every night. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| Noise, that's not signal. | ||
| The dividing line in this country politically is between populist, nationalist, America first, traditionalist versus this kind of radical secularist, elitist, globalist, party of devils, American branch. | ||
| And Mitch McConnell, I've got to tell you, he wouldn't be where he is today without Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Remember, he was a minority leader, was not going to be a majority leader. | ||
| Trump dragged across, I'm going to throw out some names that you may have heard of, Burr, Johnson, Toomey, Collins, and Blunt. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Now, Toomey argues that he was running for it, but trust me, if Trump had not represented Pennsylvania like he had, there would be no Pat Toomey. | ||
| So just some random names there. | ||
| By the way, how do you think Luther Strange would have voted? | ||
| Very good! | ||
| Luther! | ||
| Another force thing. | ||
| And by the way, but how would have Mo Brooks voted? | ||
| Senator Mo Brooks. | ||
| Another great one from the political geniuses over there. | ||
| Boris Epstein, let's talk about Mitch McConnell first. | ||
| Lindsey Graham did have one when we played in the morning show. | ||
| He says this MAGA movement should continue. | ||
| Yeah, thanks Lindsey. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| We want to make sure we got Lindsey Graham's approval to continue the MAGA movement. | ||
| So Boris Epstein, what say you? | ||
| Steve, so good to be with you. | ||
| Raheem, as always, killing it out there. | ||
| Uh, in the positive sense of the way everybody, you know, media matters don't get triggered. | ||
| Raheem's been great. | ||
| God bless everybody, the MAGA brain trust that is the viewership and those listening. | ||
| Here's what Mitch McConnell's forgetting, okay? | ||
| That in the 08 and the 2012 presidential elections, Republicans did not have a shot. | ||
| Did not have a shot. | ||
| In 2004, John Kerry Almost beat George W. Bush while there was a war going on, and after 9-11. | ||
| John Kerry, who's got the personality of a doorknob. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Almost beat. | ||
| Almost beat George W. Bush. | ||
| In 2000, Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet, beat George W. Bush in the popular vote. | ||
| In 96, Bob Dole got trounced. | ||
| In 1992, George H.W. | ||
| Bush lost to Bill Clinton. | ||
| What am I painting here? | ||
| I'm painting a dwindling, losing, dying Republican establishment. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| If not for President Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party would start averaging about 40 to 50 million votes in the presidential election and would never win another presidency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| And maybe that's what Mitch McConnell wants, because maybe he likes being a minority leader because there's no pressure. | ||
| But he sure liked having his wife as Transportation Secretary, didn't he? | ||
| Until she resigned with, what, about 10 days to go. | ||
| So this whole thing is a cynical establishment joke. | ||
| Cynical establishment joke. | ||
| President Donald J. Trump, the MAGA movement, are the lifeblood of the Republican Party. | ||
| Again, I'll say it this way. | ||
| I think 40 to 50 million people in 16 and in 20, probably 40, would have voted for any Republican. | ||
| That means that you've got an extra 23 million in 16 because of Donald Trump. | ||
| And that's the Democrats, the Blue Dog Democrats, the union members, the Rust Belt, African Americans, Hispanic Americans. | ||
| And in 2020, when President Trump got almost 75 million people, more than any, more than any incumbent president, that means you got 35 million people because Donald J. Trump was at the top of the ticket. | ||
| And thanks very much, Lindsey Graham, for your grace in allowing our movement to continue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who asked? | |
| We are the lifeblood of the Republican Party, and any of these establishment dinosaurs come at us at their peril. | ||
| So we got Lindsey's blessing. | ||
| OK, I want to go to two papers, Boston Herald today. | ||
| I'm on the cover talking about this. | ||
| Well, well, I just I'm positing that President Trump's got to get out ahead of and not campaign. | ||
| He's got to be part of the 2020 midterm. | ||
| We could have a sweeping Tea Party type victory. | ||
| I can see it right now forming up with the failed policies already, the Biden administration. | ||
| But the Wall Street Journal's got a brutal, brutal, Main editorial, I guess written by Paul Gigot in the crowd. | ||
| Guys are very perceptive about what's going on politically, right? | ||
| And it says, President Trump will never be able to run another national election. | ||
| What say you, Boris Epstein? | ||
| Is the Boston Herald, with yours truly on the cover, and President Trump, is that correct? | ||
| Or is the Wall Street Journal that Donald Trump is finished as a national political leader? | ||
| Well, let me ask it this way. | ||
| On October 7th, October 8th, 2016, which one was confident that President Trump was going to win the election on November 8th, and which group was putting it in the rearview mirror and giving a eulogy to the Trump campaign? | ||
| We know the establishment Republicans, the establishment conservative movement, the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal thought that we were done, Steve. | ||
| We were done. | ||
| and Boris Epstein and a very few select others. | ||
| Very few, probably count them on one hand, right? | ||
| That the leadership of President Trump stayed confident that the MAGA movement would prevail in 2016 and we did. | ||
| So I'm not taking whatever the Wall Street Journal editorial board, which goes with the Wint, says very, very seriously. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But Steve Bannon, I think he knows a little something about winning elections. | |
| Boris Epstein is talking about Billy Bush weekend when they all the rats left the ship, Including some that sent the President a long letter. | ||
| Vice President candidate Mike Pence and mother. | ||
| Okay, I want to go now to, we've got that. | ||
| You're a New Yorker. | ||
| This is, and you're a terrific lawyer, so don't come in hot on this one. | ||
| Give me your lawyerly take, because I was so gobsmacked that he was doing this. | ||
| This shows you, the Greeks called it, I think, Rahim Hubris, right? | ||
| Hubris. | ||
| That's what Cuomo now should be in Funkin' Wagner when he flipped the hubris. | ||
| It's his picture. | ||
| Walk me through what he tried to do today, Boris, and was he successful? | ||
| He was not successful. | ||
| He tried to go, you know, full Chris Christie and answer all the questions, but it was just obvious he was lying. | ||
| You know, Andrew Cuomo was a complete buffoon up there, and then from a lawyer perspective, you know, it's obvious that there was a cover-up. | ||
| He said there was a pause in reporting or a delay in reporting. | ||
| Yeah, that's called a cover-up, okay? | ||
| And usually, when someone who's about to be investigated says there's nothing to investigate, In my experience, something is probably something you want to investigate. | ||
| Especially, especially when there's so much smoke and fire. | ||
| You've got the proof. | ||
| You've got the phone call. | ||
| That's a direct admission. | ||
| In a court of law, that's gold. | ||
| That's gold. | ||
| Yeah, by the way, that's what all the Russia hoax, the Democrats were drooling and dreaming about ever getting anything, but there was nothing because there was nothing to the hoax. | ||
| It was all complete nonsense. | ||
| Here, this is real. | ||
| Andrew Cuomo and his administration sent the elderly to die. | ||
| They sent the elderly to die in nursing homes and hospitals. | ||
| And then Cuomo has the gall to say that people still die. | ||
| COVID attacks older people. | ||
| People still die. | ||
| He's a gun perpetrator. | ||
| It doesn't matter how they died. | ||
| Of course it matters. | ||
| If he shot him in the head, would it matter? | ||
| And again, I'm speaking as a lawyer. | ||
| I know I'm taking a bit of a bombastic tone, but I'm speaking as a lawyer. | ||
| Here you have motive, which is to not have a PR nightmare, and you have proof. | ||
| You've got evidence. | ||
| You've got action. | ||
| What else do you need? | ||
| Today, but this is what I was talking about Hubris. | ||
| He had a number of things today, but one he said, The reason that it spread like wildfire throughout the nursing homes was from staff and from visitors. | ||
| How does he pull that? | ||
| You're sending people back who you know are infected, and you've got the alternative. | ||
| You've got the USS Comfort, the hospital ship. | ||
| You've got Jacob Javits Center, which had thousands of beds. | ||
| set up by the national and you had the field hospital in central park yet three major alternative all were crickets why he sent people back to the nursing homes and today i believe in the thing i thought dot heard him say that it really was tied to the high mortality rates are the the difference in the in the mortality rates was because visitors and staff brought the virus and what say you mister boris epstein i think that he's spinning | ||
| And even if that's the case, it actually doesn't matter. | ||
| It's immaterial. | ||
| He sent the people back. | ||
| We know what he did. | ||
| And there was an intent, and there was a motive, and there was a causation. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I don't know what else you need. | ||
| I don't know what else you need. | ||
| But Andrew Cuomo appears to be in a lot of trouble, and a long time away from those Q-tips Engagements with his brother, Chris Bromo, on CNN. | ||
| CNN should be embarrassed by how much they popped up. | ||
| This criminal. | ||
| We're going to get to that tomorrow. | ||
| Boris, real quickly, give your social media coordinates. | ||
| Thanks so much. | ||
| It's been blowing up lately. | ||
| I'm over 100,000 again. | ||
| Used to be a 120. | ||
| Let's get back there. | ||

We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CC! | |
| 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. | ||
| Hey, I just want to talk about the War Room Posse and your engagement. | ||
| I think Dan Schultz had five or six thousand hits right when he was on the show, right when he got off. | ||
| It's just amazing the amount of people that are engaged in this show and the podcast. | ||
| And Tom from the Recall to Save California project, the Recall project, Their server melted down. | ||
| You couldn't even get on. | ||
| So many people from the show started pounding in there. | ||
| We put those all up in the live chat later. | ||
| We want you to go to all those. | ||
| Go to Dan Schultz's. | ||
| Go to Tom DelPicario's, who's leading the recall effort out there. | ||
| He's got the one side, the grassroots are on the other. | ||
| It's fantastic what's happening. | ||
| That's in play. | ||
| We're going to get to Navarro and Anson in a second. | ||
| A American patriot and a real giant of this MAGA movement passed away yesterday after really suffering with cancer. | ||
| A real hero, Curtis Ellis. | ||
| Brahim, you did a great job. | ||
| The obit was fantastic. | ||
| It's all over. | ||
| I want to bring Navarro, and Curtis worked hand in glove, Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside. | ||
| You wrote a great obit. | ||
| Why don't you tell us about the obit, then I want to bring Peter and Dr. Navarro and talk about some personal remembrances of this giant of the MAGA movement. | ||
| Yeah, well it was Stevie, you told me this morning when I came into the War Room that Curtis Ellis, you know, just a great friend of this show and I'd had him on the National Pulse shows, on Red America's Voice and we'd worked together on a bunch of things. | ||
| You had informed me that he had passed away and I... | ||
| You know, immediately got to work putting this obituary together. | ||
| I think it's one of the very few things that we can do to honour the memory of somebody who had such an amazing impact on the national policy conversation, had such an amazing impact on what we do over at the National Pulse. | ||
| So why wouldn't we make him the lead of the site? | ||
| I mean, this was somebody who back in the day, as you say, Brought the whole Trans-Pacific Partnership stuff to a head, and you'll remember while he was on your show talking about that, then you would flip to me afterwards and say, hey what about the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership? | ||
| And we'd kind of do the one-two punch on TTIP and TTP. | ||
| And of course TTIP was one of the primary reasons why Britons voted to leave the European Union. | ||
| So, what Curtis has talked about for years and years and years and dedicated his life to was something that effectively led to the independence of my country. | ||
| The same fighting against the same things. | ||
| It was really what led to the forward-leaning foreign policy stance of the Trump administration on China, on bringing back jobs. | ||
| And, you know, I got to speak with his significant other today, Maxine, who told me that what he wanted to relay | ||
| In his kind of last few days was that you know the heart the beating heart of America is The American family it is love and it is the guardianship of that that creates a stronger Union and creates a stronger nation and every you build out everything from that that unit outwards and she just wanted me to stress and that's why we did it in the obituary and why I'm doing it here today and | ||
| Curtis Ellis was a man who was concerned about the future of not just America as a nation, the American family. | ||
| You know, Peter, Dr. Navarro, when you were writing your books on China that were so prophetic, and then Curtis, I met him and him on the show back in my KBC days, and then the Victory Sessions, then the Breitbart and the Breitbart Daily Show, got to know you and your writings, your films. | ||
| In fact, one of my editors was an editor on one of your films and said you were traveling around China and doing all this. | ||
| People, I remember the Republican Party, would laugh at you guys. | ||
| It's like, these guys are screwballs. | ||
| This is so radical. | ||
| What they're talking about is so outside Republican orthodoxy. | ||
| And yet it was that kind of Lou Dobbs on TV, you and Chris Ellis, those ideas germinated and then became the driving force. | ||
| In the Trump drive to victory, particularly the last hundred days, remember, we would have China in every speech, have trade and manufacturing. | ||
| And when the Democrats were so gobsmacked to lose Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania on that night, they never thought it could happen because we were talking the language of workers. | ||
| And that is because of Dr. Peter Navarro and Curtis Ellis. | ||
| Dr. Navarro. | ||
| Heavy heart today, Steve. | ||
| Curtis was a good friend. | ||
| I met him in the war room at Trump Tower during the campaign, and he was, I would describe him as an op-ed machine. | ||
| The man was able to grind out just beautiful, beautiful MAGA op-eds, one after the other, and get them out under everybody's name, sometimes his own, but he spread them far and wide. | ||
| And here's what's important, Steve. | ||
| This was a man who could have made millions, perhaps even tens of millions of dollars, working for the other side. | ||
| There's that kind of money on the other side. | ||
| And you and I know that as well. | ||
| He could have ran campaigns. | ||
| He could have been press secretary. | ||
| He could have done a lot of things. | ||
| But he, out of selflessness, He worked for the working men and women of this country, and when Donald Trump emerged as a candidate, he went straight to the war room. | ||
| I would say that the Trump administration did Curtis a tremendous disservice. | ||
| He was one of a fairly large number, Steve, of true Trump people who worked on the campaign, who got the back of the hand from people like Reince Priebus when it came time To putting them inside the administration. | ||
| I think you called it the original sin when basically we went over and put the traditional Republican machine in charge initially of the administration. | ||
| And Curtis had to scrap out on his own in the city of New York. | ||
| But he still was true to MAGA. | ||
| So we're going to miss him dearly. | ||
| And to me, he's a symbol of everything that we stand for, which is the traditional, as you say, party of the blue-collar workers. | ||
| And he was, you can see, your audience, your video audience can see, let me just talk to the radio audience, but there's this great picture of him in the captions, Walmart and Wall Street drove us to China. | ||
| And he understood that long before many, many people did. | ||
| So, Curtis, we miss you, buddy. | ||
| I had the great opportunity yesterday, because of a significant other, to actually talk to him on a speakerphone at his hospice. | ||
| I think I'm the last person to talk to him, but it was like 30, 45 minutes, and I walked through what he had accomplished. | ||
| And the one thing I want to make sure everybody remembers, it was Navarro and Curtis Ellis. | ||
| When the Chinese people finally free themselves, and they will free themselves from this totalitarian dictatorship that controls them and makes their life hell, Right? | ||
| When Lao Bai Jing, when Old 100 Names is free, it's Curtis Ellis and Peter Navar that first brought it to a full confrontation. | ||
| Curtis Ellis, I remember, would come on KBC with me and come on at the early days of the Breitbart Radio Show, and he was breathing fire on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And what they had done with Wall Street, with their partners on Wall Street, with their partners in corporate America that now become global corporations, the City of London, he laid it all out, right? | ||
| And this is a fire breather. | ||
| And I told him, I said, look, these people are eventually going to free themselves. | ||
| And when they do, remember, you're going to be a, you're going to have been a big part of that, because that was the great, that was the beginning of the Great Awakening, that there is a system here. | ||
| It's not conspiracy. | ||
| It's in broad daylight. | ||
| It's a system. | ||
| And he was a central element of how to deconstruct that system and show you how it works. | ||
| Showing how the gearing works. | ||
| Showing how it all meshes together. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| And we're still fighting that today. | ||
| That's why I say that the lines of demarcation here are quite bold. | ||
| You have the globalist, elitist, secularist, radical party, and you have the populist, nationalist, traditionalist party. | ||
| And Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, they're part of the other group, right? | ||
| Just because they hang out as Republicans doesn't matter. | ||
| Let me talk a little bit about that, Steve. | ||
| And by the way, I say this with so much love for Curtis. | ||
| I think his one last deathbed regret was the fact that he didn't get on the sanctions list with me and Pottinger and Pompeo because he worked really hard for that. | ||
| He should have been on that list. | ||
| But let's talk a little bit about economic nationalism now in honor of Curtis because what Mitch McConnell What Lindsey Graham are doing, what Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, what these people are doing is sacrilege to this country. | ||
| Donald J. Trump's success really was based upon his ability to transform the Republican Party into the party of blue-collar America, the party The party of the big union bosses where the rank-and-file voted for Trump and didn't listen to those bosses. | ||
| And if you think, as McConnell and Lindsey Graham somehow do, that going back to that old future of a republicanism that is only dedicated to tax breaks | ||
| And deregulation and ignores the fundamental aspects of the MAGA movement and Trump, which is the fair trade, the endless wars, and the secure borders. | ||
| That's like the Holy Trinity basically of protecting American working class Americans. | ||
| If he thinks that he can go back to that and turn his back on the 74 million MAGA Americans who voted for Trump, he's basically dealing the Republican Party a losing hand. | ||
| And I think over the next year and a half, as Trump leads the retaking of the House of Representatives and the holding and strengthening of the Republican majority in the Senate, one of the things I want to be doing is working to get rid of Mitch McConnell as that Senate majority leader and make sure that Kevin McCarthy as well gets booted out the door. | ||
| We need somebody on the House of Representatives side who's not the multinational corporation shill like McCarthy is. | ||
| Dr. Navarro, hang on. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| When I come back, I want to ask you about the Wall Street Journal article saying Trump will never win another national election. | ||
| And New York with Cuomo and your beloved California, the recall effort out there. | ||

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. | ||
| It's official now. | ||
| We've got some breaking news now. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, has deemed that they're going to have a 9-11 type commission on exactly what went on on January 6th and things and events leading up to it. | ||
| Rahim Kassam, that I think is great news. | ||
| I already know who witness number one should be. | ||
| I'm going to get to him in a second. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro, tell us what's going on here. | ||
| This is a Truth and Reconciliation Commission? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Speaker Pelosi is saying that an independent commission, of course we all know what independent means in her regards, should investigate the security failures of the January 6th assault on the Capitol. | ||
| Now that the Senate trial has concluded, the recommendation for such a commission came from retired Lieutenant General Russell Honoré, who Pelosi tasked with reviewing capital security. | ||
| So she wrote a letter today to colleagues saying, as always, security is the order of the day, security of our country, security of our capital, which is the temple of our democracy, the security of our members and it brings me to your point where you where you keep referring to these people as secularists right and and this is not new language if you speak to Stephen K. | ||
| Bannon every day but it's certainly new language I think that you're deploying onto the show and what a time for it as well because prayerful Nancy Pelosi remember everything is prayerful to Nancy Pelosi is is is actually kind of um creating this religiosity now around the capital civic religion she calls it the temple of our democracy uh well I think a lot of people are going to have some something to say about uh about this process one thing I will say is it's no | ||
| surprise to me that this comes at a time where they're losing control of some of the key narratives surrounding January the 6th. | ||
| As more video comes out, as more information about the death of Brian Sicknick comes out, as more information, the biggest one of all of this is who knew in advance of January the 6th and when did they know it? | ||
| Remember, Bowser refused, the Capitol Police refused. | ||
| President Trump, according to Vanity Fair, President Trump the night before said, quote, you'll need 10,000. | ||
| You'll need 10,000. | ||
| And he told the Acting Defense Secretary, do what you need to do. | ||
| He gave the authorization. | ||
| And yet Bowser, Pelosi and Capitol Police all said, now we're good. | ||
| And maybe we can find out why they're still here. | ||
| Dr. Navarro, they view this, I believe, as a struggle session. | ||
| Right, that's where they want an independent commission to go through this. | ||
| I recommend that Dr. Peter Navarro, since we didn't get our shot in the well of the Senate, and I think one of the reasons they weighed off calling witnesses, they wanted Pelosi and they were afraid of having you show up with your Navarro reports. | ||
| Would you volunteer, sir, to be prepared and to go before this commission and lay out how exactly this election was stolen? | ||
| I would not only volunteer, I'd volunteer to be on the Commission. | ||
| And Steve, a little background here. | ||
| It's like, after the CCP virus hit, one of the struggle sessions I had inside the White House, which I lost, was to form a Presidential Commission. | ||
| on the origins and costs of the CCP virus. | ||
| And I mention that only because in that effort, I studied how many different commissions we've had in history and how they got started. | ||
| Some are done by Congress, but some are done by executive order by the president. | ||
| The first one was back in 1896 when they decided about whether they were going to have the Philippines As a state, or how they were going to handle it as a territory. | ||
| But some of the famous ones, there was the Pearl Harbor Commission, there was the Kennedy Assassination Commission, Barack Obama actually did a commission on the Be Peace Bill. | ||
| So, this is in principle a good idea, but the devil is in the Pelosi details. | ||
| So here's some of the questions I think we need to be asking. | ||
| First of all, who's going to be on it? | ||
| And equally importantly, who's going to choose to be on it? | ||
| Is Pelosi going to allow The Republicans to be able to have choices on the commission, as well as the Democrats, which is generally the tradition when you formulate these things. | ||
| What is going to be the scope? | ||
| Steve, I'd love it if basically she used that first impeachment charge, charging Donald Trump as falsely saying that the election was stolen. | ||
| Well, that needs to be explored. | ||
| Was it false, falsely, was that a false statement or was that actually a true statement? | ||
| That's where moi comes in along with people like Cortez and others as witnesses to testify that in fact that election was stolen. | ||
| So I think this is good news depending on how she handles it, but never underestimate the ability of a Democrat on the Hill to carry stuff. | ||
| I have to also make sure there's a minority report and that minority report gets published. | ||
| I want to go to two things. | ||
| New York and California. | ||
| You're very familiar with both. | ||
| You're familiar professionally with your job in the White House with Cuomo. | ||
| You've seen what the charges are. | ||
| You saw the press conference today. | ||
| Tell us about Cuomo and what happened back in March of this year. | ||
| Yeah, let's start with Cuomo. | ||
| Judge Jeanine is putting him in the ground with the beautiful work she's doing over the last couple weeks on her show. | ||
| She's a former prosecutor. | ||
| She has basically indicted that guy. | ||
| Now, my experience with Cuomo... | ||
| He's one of the most distasteful New Yorkers I've ever met. | ||
| And here's the thing I want to tell you. | ||
| It's like, at the height of the New York crisis, Cuomo gets on that Emmy Award daily briefing and just says, we need 40,000 ventilators! | ||
| His hair's literally on fire, right? | ||
| And it's like, I'm thinking, I'm sitting there watching this in my office. | ||
| I'm going, wait a minute, we just sent him thousands of ventilators. | ||
| What's the deal here, right? | ||
| And so, I had my staff look into it, and sure enough, there's literally thousands of ventilators gathering dust in a depot in Albany, and it forced him the next day to have to... Hold it, hold it. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Stop, stop, stop. | ||
| He called you out personally, I think, about the ventilators. | ||
| He did. | ||
| Don't bury the lead. | ||
| He called you out personally. | ||
| Don't bury the lead. | ||
| Didn't he call you out personally about all these ventilators? | ||
| And then you found they were up there gathering dust. | ||
| After, after, he called me out personally after, for example, I got 4500 Tyvek suits to the NYPD in 16 hours from the point of a phone call. | ||
| I was supplying hand sanitizer to the NYPD. | ||
| I was sending all sorts of stuff to their hospitals. | ||
| He'd be calling me, treating me like my best friend, and then he tries to cut the legs out. | ||
| So, man, I nailed that sucker because, hey, you got thousands of these sitting gathering dust. | ||
| And by the way, you do not need 40,000 if you just do the math and the statistics. | ||
| He had to issue a semi-apology the next day and I, you know, it's like the boss and I, POTUS, we never got tired of running that, you know where that goes, to him for months. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| He's a liar. | ||
| He murdered people with what he did in those nursing homes. | ||
| He should be held accountable. | ||
| His brother on CNN should be held accountable. | ||
| CNN should be reporting this straight down the middle. | ||
| Biden should not be having this guy's back because this guy is responsible for murder of senior citizens. | ||
| You just compare the number of seniors who died in New York under Cuomo's lockdown Okay, here's what I don't understand, real quickly, because I've got to get to California with you. | ||
| You were instrumental on the team that worked with the President. | ||
| The President sent the hospital ship Comfort up from Northwest Naval Station. | ||
| You guys totally redid the Javits Center to be a massive field hospital. | ||
| And you also had the Army build field hospitals in Central Park. | ||
| You knew the problem was ICU bed capacity. | ||
| You solved that. | ||
| They were never used. | ||
| They were never used! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Part of the problem, Steve, is that Cuomo thinks he's like God, right? | ||
| And God didn't have a good relationship with the other guy who thought he was God in New York, which was de Blasio. | ||
| I mean, they were like the Hatfields and McCoys. | ||
| And meanwhile, we're sitting at the White House trying to help both of them. | ||
| They wouldn't talk to each other. | ||
| And it's like, It's like, I wanted to send stuff to de Blasio, right? | ||
| And it's like, he goes, no, no, no, don't put it in one of the depots. | ||
| I'll never get it from Cuomo. | ||
| It's like, what is this? | ||
| People are dying, dudes. | ||
| People are dying. | ||
| So these guys, you know, they call me up like I was their best friend. | ||
| I'd get them stuff to save the lives of people in New York. | ||
| And then they just dump all over the president and the boss. | ||
| He sent me little notes. | ||
| You go, yeah, there's your thanks from those two clowns. | ||
| It's like, not a good situation. | ||
| Cuomo needs to be indicted on this. | ||
| There needs to be a grand jury and he will be indicted if there's any justice in this world. | ||
| He's going down for this. | ||
| Let's go to California, your beloved California. | ||
| It would seem like a pipe dream a couple months ago. | ||
| They're very close to recalling Gavin Newsom. | ||
| This is about his handling, particularly his handling of COVID-19. | ||
| What say you, Dr. Navarro? | ||
| See, I got street cred on this. | ||
| I'm the guy that gives you granularity because this is the guy, way back when, who was actually instrumental in the last successful recall in California. | ||
| That was of Gray Davis, who basically turned his back on everything he promised the people of California. | ||
| So, Newsom's going down as well. | ||
| I mean, we took Gray Davis down. | ||
| It's not that hard in California. | ||
| And people, look, you know what this is about, Steve? | ||
| It's not about him going to a fancy restaurant and drinking wine and disregarding all the guidelines of California and the CDC, although that helps. | ||
| This is about whether lockdowns do or don't work. | ||
| And that guy, along with Garcetti down in Los Angeles, who should be recalled as well, have done the biggest friggin' number on the California economy, and people are friggin' outraged. | ||
| I mean, you go, like, Huntington Beach is like a colony there of pro-Trump, Folks and like there's like protests down there every other day about these lockdowns. | ||
| But look, Steve, on a serious note, it's like California is a huge part of the national economy. | ||
| Gavin Newsom has basically put the brakes on that economy. | ||
| And that stuff filters right, it goes from west to east. | ||
| He's really damaging the lives of people who, you know, evictions, foreclosures, out of work folks, stuck behind their homes, can't go to the beach, can't go to the restaurants. | ||
| This guy's a one-man wrecking crew. | ||
| If that ballot thing survives and it gets on the ballot, he's gone. | ||
| He is gone. | ||
| Question is, who's going to replace him? | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro, how do people get access to you? | ||
| How do they follow you during the day? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| PeterNavarro.com to download the Navarro report on election fraud. | ||
| RealPNavarro on Twitter. | ||
| I guess I'm going to have a race with Boris now to see who gets our fallen Twitter folks back the quickest. | ||
| But RealPNavarro and there it is. | ||
| Thank you, Dr. Navarro. | ||
| Thank you for joining us today. | ||
| Do you believe, like Dr. Navarro, do you believe that this commission could actually be positive? | ||
| Oh, I think it could be, but I'm not sure the way the system works in terms of who gets allowed time to be called and who gets to create the reports. | ||
| Of course, we will see... She'll run it like it was her own fist. | ||
| Look, however, I mean, look what we were told on Saturday that, hey, we want witnesses. | ||
| And by the way, if we get witnesses, it's only going to be our witnesses. | ||
| It's not going to be your witnesses. | ||
| So I think with everything we should contingency plan have a plan to have a parallel committee at the same time We've got plenty if we don't get our witness all the witnesses don't get you get Navarro and Cortez these other guys brainer to actually test the live stream on all conservative networks, you know Parallel yep, very smart Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| When we return, we're gonna have Mike Walsh, the author of Last Stance. | ||
| He wants to talk. | ||
| I know a lot of people are thinking, hey, our backs are to the wall. | ||
| It's been a, you know, President Trump did avoid conviction, but, you know, Wall Street Journal says he'll never win another national election. | ||
| McConnell's saying he's guilty, ought to be prosecuted by local authorities. | ||
| Mike Walsh is here to tell you about, we're gonna talk about the Battle of Shiloh. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Battle of Shiloh with Ulysses S. Grant and General Sherman. | ||

| Politico is telling us, Raheem Kassam, this is the first day of the Biden administration. | ||
| I thought they'd been there for like a month. | ||
| Yeah, this morning I mentioned CNN's story, right, which was a piece of analysis. | ||
| They put this piece of analysis by Stephen Collinson up, and the headline of the analysis was, Biden gets his first chance to fully exercise his power. | ||
| And that was published at 7.48am today, and the headline when you click through is, the end of Trump's trial lifts an oppressive cloud from Washington. | ||
| Then you go over and you look at Politico's playbook. | ||
| This is the I Ching of the establishment in Washington DC every day, right? | ||
| And it's headline, the headline is, the Biden presidency starts today. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| There are no coincidences. | ||
| That's hitting the reset button. | ||
| That's saying, hey, uh, all this Cuomo stuff going on, all this TJ Duclo stuff going on, all the circling back we've been doing, we kind of want to put a pin in all of this and start again. | ||

| We're going to have more about that tomorrow in the 10 a.m. | ||

| Raheem Kassan is going to be all over this on the National Pulse. | ||
| This is what I'm telling you. | ||
| We've stopped at Dennis Trax, he's got no political capital. | ||
| Richard Barris is right, his approval is under 50%. | ||
| Okay, for all of you out there that are feeling bad, we're bringing in author Michael Walsh, the great book Last Stands. | ||
| Let's talk about, you talk about America's head, it's back to the wall, the Battle of Shiloh, right? | ||
| Ulysses S. Grant and Sherman, General Sherman. | ||
| Tell us about it, Mike Walsh. | ||
| Hey, thanks for having me on, Steve. | ||
| Hi, Rahim. | ||
| Well, the Union Army, early in the Civil War, on a beautiful April day, was surprised attacked by the Confederates. | ||
| They didn't know they were there. | ||
| They didn't know they were coming. | ||
| It was Ulysses S. Grant, one of his first engagements in the war. | ||
| He had a brand new adjutant, William T. Sherman, never worked together before. | ||
| And they were completely caught with their pants down on the first day of Shiloh in 1860. | ||
| So, all of a sudden, they are overwhelmed, pushed back to the Tennessee River. | ||
| One of their divisions is wandering out in the swamps somewhere, and they look like they are whipped. | ||
| They are about ready to fold, and if they had folded, if early, early in the Civil War, they had folded, the North very likely would have lost the Civil War. | ||
| Grant would have been cashiered, if not killed, on the battlefield. | ||
| Sherman, who had just come out of an insane asylum, basically, would have been relegated back to the Nuthouse, out of which he had sprung. | ||
| We would have lost our two greatest generals of the Civil War. | ||
| We lost a lot of men. | ||
| The death toll and the casualty toll on that first day of Shiloh was larger than all the American wars up to that point. | ||
| And the North was shocked by the carnage. | ||
| So there's a famous story about Grant running into Sherman late that night. | ||
| He's standing there smoking a cigar in the rain, and Sherman says, well, Grant, we've had the devil's own time today, haven't we? | ||
| And Grant says, yep, but we'll lick him tomorrow, though. | ||
| And in fact, one of my favorite quotes from this battle, James McPherson, who was one of Grant's adjutant generals, came up and asked Grant, are you going to retreat? | ||
| And Grant said, retreat? | ||
| No, I propose to attack at daylight and whip And this is something that real Americans know instinctively in the hearts that you're not beat until you're beat. | ||
| And Grant had survived this terrible carnage, which partly gave him the bad reputation he got from a later generation of historians about not caring about how many men died under his command or how many he killed. | ||
| That's completely false. | ||
| But what Grant learned from that battle is Never to get caught with your pants down again. | ||
| Always be aggressive. | ||
| Always be fighting. | ||
| Always be pushing forward. | ||
| And the next day, they caught a break when the general, the Confederate general, died on day one. | ||
| He'd been hit in the leg and it had nicked an artery and he bled to death into his boot and didn't know he was hurt until he fell off his horse dead. | ||
| So they lucked into having the South not commanded by Albert Sidney Johnson, who was Yes. | ||
| very their best commander even better than Lee and they fought against Ford. | ||
| He was actually Lee's commanding officer in the 2nd Cavalry down in Texas fighting Comanches. | ||
| He was, Lee was his ex-ally. | ||
| Alvarez Sidney Johnson was considered the finest general in the Confederate Army, died At Shiloh. | ||
| The lesson for MAGA today. | ||
| Got about two minutes, Mike. | ||
| The lesson for MAGA today is about that good old-fashioned American grit, tenacity, cussedness, and we're not going to give up. | ||
| Like you said, you ain't beat till you're beat, right? | ||
| We're winning. | ||
| We won on November 3rd. | ||
| Got it? | ||
| Hey, they stole it, but he's illegitimate. | ||
| This is why you're seeing the little reset happening right now. | ||
| What would you tell MAGA? | ||
| To put it in perspective today of where we are against the Biden regime, right? | ||
| And we're the resistance, just like they were the resistance. | ||
| What's your message to MAGA about Shiloh? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| First of all, as Grant did, this was 1862, not 1863, I will correct that. | ||
| What Grant did early, early, early on in his career as America's greatest general, is he understood that he had been pushed back. | ||
| He understood that he had been whipped. | ||
| He understood they got their rear ends kicked. | ||
| And they were in a very precarious situation. | ||
| They didn't deny it. | ||
| And I'm afraid the MAGA thing has been so buffaloed by Q and so spoiled by the notion that somehow a deus ex machina was going to come out and fix everything. | ||
| That's over. | ||
| They stole it. | ||
| They didn't steal it. | ||
| We didn't fight hard. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| It doesn't matter anymore. | ||
| Pull yourself together. | ||
| This is what Grant and Sherman did that night down by the Tennessee River. | ||
| They pulled themselves together. | ||
| Grant knew reinforcements were on the way. He knew that somewhere Lew Wallace, who later went on to write Ben-Hur, was going to wander into the fight, and he did. And they were able to mount a ferocious counterattack against the Confederates, pushed them all the way back into Corinth, Mississippi and beyond, and really broke the hold of the South on its own riverways very early on in the civil war. | ||
| We can do that. | ||
| McClellan would have taken the ship, loaded it onto the river boats and gotten out of there. | ||
| He would have run! | ||
