Well the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Militarily occupied Washington, D.C. | ||
| with, what, somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 National Guard troops. | ||
| Breaking news out of Phoenix, Arizona. | ||
| Parents say 5,000 fentanyl pills were found inside a stuffed toy. | ||
| We're going to be talking more about Arizona later in the show, particularly the People's Movement to take over the Republican Party by Dan Schultz. | ||
| From Arizona, we're going to have a couple. | ||
| Every day, we're going to start having people on here. | ||
| They're becoming precinct committeemen. | ||
| This show is about your agency. | ||
| I was in Phoenix the other day and a lady who was in the speech I was giving came up to me and she said, Hey, I've been watching the war room. | ||
| I listened to Dan Schultz. | ||
| I applied. | ||
| I am now a committeeman. | ||
| They've also got me doing all the communications work for the local party. | ||
| You know, it was a week long process for her. | ||
| And they're in, and they're off to the races. | ||
| This is a way to empower yourself. | ||
| Remember, this show is about action, action, action. | ||
| We're actually going to have, and I want to thank the staff. | ||
| All weekend, they worked on amazing cold opens. | ||
| We've had so much news today, we haven't gotten any. | ||
| So somehow, today, maybe we'll fit them in, or in this evening's show. | ||
| Also, We're going to get some clips from Rahim's amazing speech out there at the Leadership Conference in Arizona. | ||
| OK, I want to go now to one of the rising stars in the media side of the conservative movement, the MAGA movement. | ||
| It's from the Bongino Report, the editor over there, Matt Palumbo. | ||
| Matt, the timing, you've got a new book coming out and man, oh man, sometimes it's better to be lucky than to be good. | ||
| But it's also good to be lucky and good. | ||
| Your book that drops tomorrow, Couldn't be more timely, given the fact of what's happening in New York State about, and this gets down to this pandemic, it gets down to about targeted interventions, about how you stop the spread of this, what government should be doing, and also about hubris. | ||
| About how somebody that the mainstream media can praise as an absolute rock star, give him Emmys, huge book deals, all of that. | ||
| And now we're down to maybe a criminal investigation. | ||
| And that criminal investigation, ladies and gentlemen, is being driven by Democrats. | ||
| From Letitia James, the Attorney General, to AOC, to certain councilmen in Brooklyn and in Queens. | ||
| This is about Mario Cuomo. | ||
| The book is Dumb and Dumber. | ||
| The author is Matt Palumbo. | ||
| Matt, thank you for joining us. | ||
| Tell us what the book is and the current status of the governor, Mario Cuomo. | ||
| Well, thanks for having me back on, Steve. | ||
| You know, the book is just, you know, a couple hundred pages of mockery of Dumb and Dumber or de Blasio and Cuomo, as we call them professionally. | ||
| Now, it was actually the media's praise of Cuomo that indirectly led to me writing the book. | ||
| You know, at the beginning of the pandemic, I kind of just assumed I don't really know anything. | ||
| I'm not an epidemiologist or a biologist, so I'll just kind of read everything I can to try to learn as much as I want. | ||
| Or as is possible. | ||
| And, you know, they kind of crowned Cuomo the king of fighting this thing in the entirety of the media. | ||
| Even, you know, I think right-wing media wasn't, didn't really push back that much. | ||
| Dr. Fauci said he, you know, his model was the one to follow. | ||
| Then I start digging into the data and I just went, there's nothing here. | ||
| There's no, you know, he is the highest death rate of any state besides New Jersey. | ||
| If New York was its own country, it would be the most deadliest country for coronavirus in the world. | ||
| So how is this guy, the guy that's crowned king, And it seems like they just kind of decided right away, we're going to pick one guy to be the guy we praise. | ||
| And of course, it's a Democrat, and then everything has to filter into the narrative going forward. | ||
| It's only now that the facade is cracked. | ||
| But everything I read about in the book, I started writing back in maybe April or so. | ||
| So everything we've known for almost a year now, and it's only now that the Democrat AG is getting involved that people are going, well, maybe there's something else going on here. | ||
| And every day, it seems like there's something else. | ||
| We're learning there's a cover-up. | ||
| That a lot of his aides have defected. | ||
| And you know, our top story on the Juneau Report today is about how he might actually, or could potentially face criminal charges, not for the crime itself, the nursing home policy, but for the cover-up. | ||
| That there was a deliberate effort to, you know, avoid a DOJ probe, which probably would have been very likely, or I think was likely, but didn't happen, I should say. | ||
| Matt, let's take three principal characters, though, because these are all very important players. | ||
| Attorney General Letitia James, you've got AOC, who is, I think, you know, I call her Senator Alex, right, because she's sending a shot across Schumer's bow, and then de Blasio himself. | ||
| All three of those right now are aligned against Cuomo, correct? | ||
| Yeah, correct. | ||
| And, you know, it is, as much as I like to say it's great to see the left holding their own accountable, I think it's just they politically can't pretend anymore that, you know, there's anything here. | ||
| I mean, we've known since, as I said, since at least April, well, you know, A, New York's botched their response. | ||
| We've known about the nursing home scandal. | ||
| on the associated press report back in august that actually made almost an identical point that he reported they are good at the time we have six thousand nursing home deaths but we think this close to ten of the a g report that came out last month so there's a thousand was close to twelve so the proportion is very similar on the notice the whole time And then as for de Blasio, well, you know, I said New York is worse than any other country. | ||
| Well, New York City is even worse than New York in terms of per capita deaths. | ||
| So, you know, he doesn't really have a leg to stand on, even though he didn't embark in a train wreck nursing home policy. | ||
| Here's, and Raheem, jump in here. | ||
| What I don't understand about this whole thing is how they jumped on so quickly to give him an Emmy Award, to give him a massive book deal, to make it a bestseller. | ||
| The chorus here was uniform, and what a rock star this guy is. | ||
| Remember, there's some talk about maybe trading him out for, you know, Biden was a little slow on the uptake, and maybe this is our guy. | ||
| But particularly, What I found totally offensive was the segments he had on his brother's show on CNN that Zucker allowed to have, and the lawyers at CNN felt comfortable with, that they had him on all the time, no hardball questions, in fact reinforced the policies he was taking. | ||
| So what does CNN... How's Chris Cuomo even got a show? | ||
| Actually, they suspended their own rule about interviewing people you're close to, Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo had the exception to that rule, but there was one thing that offended me more about this, which wasn't the CNN stuff, because I've kind of, you know, built into my mind the idea that CNN is just a total... I can't say the word on the show. | ||
| But it's the morning press conferences he was having every morning, remember? | ||
| In the white polo shirt, flanked by all of his people, and instead of often going to Donald Trump's statements, or the White House statements, or even taking the White House press briefings live, or the Warp Speed briefings live, what the media would do is put the Cuomo briefings up, and then just have Jim Acosta tell you what was in the White House briefing. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Matt Palumbo, your analysis and assessment of CNN's performance during this time. | ||
| You always think it can't get any worse, right? | ||
| I mean, I think it's pretty much to the extent of it. | ||
| I mean, they did reinstate the ban, but as I said, I think I've said this three times already, we've known about how much of a disaster this is for almost the past year. | ||
| It is only now that the media can't pretend, you know, anymore that they are now, you know, claiming to do the right thing or pretend to be responsible. | ||
| But, you know, they still gave the guy an Emmy. | ||
| And, you know, I feel like they reward people who are who are uncredible So they can then point to the credential they give them. | ||
| Like we saw with the 1619 lady getting a Pulitzer. | ||
| Well, it's just so that if you go to criticize her and her work is garbage, they can say, yeah, but you're criticizing a Pulitzer winner. | ||
| Or in the case of Cuomo, well, you're criticizing a guy who got an Emmy. | ||
| It's just kind of a shield, almost, against their incompetence. | ||
| Okay, you know, the smoking gun here, and the White House at the time didn't press this as much as I thought they would press it, the smoking gun is going to be the efforts that Trump did, and Trump made, versus what the specific policy decisions were of Cuomo in that decision-making around that. | ||
| I want to go back to March of this year. | ||
| The hospital ship Comfort, Being refitted under emergency measures and coming up from Norfolk, Virginia. | ||
| The President actually flew down to Norfolk to see it off, to send the comfort to New York City. | ||
| And Gavin Newsom used the West Coast-based hospital ship and went to Long Beach and he used it. | ||
| Cuomo and these guys went out of the way. | ||
| The comfort was never used. | ||
| They then retrofitted the Javits Center. | ||
| Everybody's been in New York City. | ||
| That magnificent conference center, huge conference center. | ||
| Comic Con and all the big conferences all held there on the west side of New York. | ||
| Absolutely fabulous. | ||
| Refitted the Javits Center for a field hospital. | ||
| Virtually not used at all. | ||
| Also, the US Army. | ||
| He built a massive field hospital, I think up in the northern part of Central Park. | ||
| Another field hospital, virtually not used. | ||
| The administration and every aspect, whether it's the Defense Department, HHS, etc., went out of their ways. | ||
| Peter Navarro, remember Peter Navarro at the time, the ventilators were part of the capacity utilization problem, ICU bed units, which were covered by the hospital ship, Javits Center, and the field hospital. | ||
| The ventilators at the time, remember? | ||
| They went out of their way in Defense Production Act to ship everything to New York City. | ||
| The administration went out of their way to ship resources, focus, access. | ||
| You know, Navarro talks about you get calls from Navarro, you get calls from Cuomo, and yet they had a specific policy decision of where to send these folks back to the nursing homes. | ||
| That is going to get beyond gnarly. | ||
| Matt Palumbo, what say you? | ||
| Yeah, well, you know, everything you just listed, the field hospitals, the USNS Comfort, that proves the nursing home policy wasn't needed, because the whole launch behind it was needed to free up space. | ||
| We now know they had all this extra space and none of it was used. | ||
| And then, you know, there's all these crazy regulations in place as well. | ||
| Like with the USNS Comfort, New York's ambulances were regulated as such that they couldn't directly bring patients to the ship. | ||
| They had to bring them to a hospital and then get them discharged. | ||
| And Cuomo, for whatever reason, never sought to waive that regulation, though it seems like it would have been used anyway. | ||
| And also, in the beginning of the book, I tackled the narrative that this was something Trump kind of brushed aside and didn't take seriously. | ||
| It's going to be out. | ||
| You can pre-order it. | ||
| things trump was doing in january like banning travel from china and all this other preemptive stuff versus what de blasio and his health department was doing which is basically saying go to chinatown uh... you know let's go out and celebrate act like nothing's happening uh... yet of course he was the media you get the opposite impression so the book is dumb and dumber and it's out it's it's going to be out you can preorder take today but it's out actually tomorrow on uh... | ||
| in bookstores everywhere and also on amazon yet out tomorrow And then the Kindle and the audiobook have been out for about a month now, for whatever reason. | ||
| But yes, you can get it early there or tomorrow for hardcover. | ||
| Okay, Lance, we've got about two minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I actually just had him call me and read it to me. | |
| That's the best way to do it. | ||
| Matt, what else? | ||
| One of the things we'd like to have guys like you that actually focus on the news cycle. | ||
| What, at the Bongino Report, you know, Bongino is a beloved figure. | ||
| What are, and you kind of are the editor over there, what stories are you guys following right now? | ||
| Our audience always likes to be ahead of the curve. | ||
| If you had to tell people, this is what I would be focusing your attention on, what are the two or three stories that you think are the most important? | ||
| So the big one, obviously, is the Cuomo scandal finally being unearthed to the public. | ||
| The second one, and I'm actually kind of surprised, is how much Trump is still in the news. | ||
| For as much as liberals claim they don't want to hear about this guy, they can't stop talking about him. | ||
| And it does seem like Trump's going to have a role in the party, and in how the Republican Party develops in the future. | ||
| I think you were hinting at it too, his CPAC speech is going to be more him Matt, how do people follow you during the day? | ||
| outlining its agenda. And it seems like at least, I was reading today, half of the GOP would defect towards that kind of party. Now, I think it would be better to have a unified Republican party that just becomes more Trumpian. But it's definitely going to, you know, the future of the party is definitely going to be shaped in the next few years because of him still, and I think it's worth following. Matt, how do people follow you during the day? What are your coordinates, and then how do they get to the Bongino Report? So Bongino Report, it's bonginoreport.com. I'm I'm sure if you Google Dan's name, it'll pop up. | ||
| Twitter is MattPalumbo12, and Parler is the same name there. | ||
| Okay brother, great job. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| This is the young rising generation of news people that you see, Raheem, that are really making a huge difference, right? | ||
| But we've still got to get people away from using the phrase, Google this, or Google that. | ||
| Duck, duck, uh... Well, I don't... Duck, duck, gone. | ||
| No, but I don't... I don't... Just search, right? | ||
| Search this, search that. | ||
| Um, it's one of the things we all do. | ||
| It just struck me there when Matt was talking about it. | ||
| We all use that, we all still sort of gravitate towards this big tech company, but there are a whole lot more coming up that, uh... I use Startpage, for instance. | ||
| Startpage is now my search engine. | ||
| Well, I think one of the things you ought to do on the podcast one day is just walk people through how, you know, the whole thing. | ||
| It's interesting you say that. | ||
| No, because we've got a whole, look, as you know, our demographic sometimes, you know, is a little older, they're not as used to social media, they've got to be part of this, you want to be a force multiplier. | ||
| Well, it's interesting, because our tech guy, Warhagan, has just finished work on a big tech guide for conservatives, and we'll be doing that this week. | ||
| When's the big tech guide coming out? | ||
| Probably Wednesday, and we'll do the podcast on it as well. | ||
| That signal, not noise. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| When we come back, Rahim and I are going to be able to walk through the news. | ||
| We're going to do this in the first half hour today. | ||
| There's so much going on. | ||
| Also talk about the leadership conference he talked to. | ||
| Then we're going to talk about agency and how people are already stepping up. | ||
| We want everybody out there to become a precinct committeeman. | ||
| You want to back Donald Trump? | ||
| Become a precinct committeeman in the Republican Party today. | ||

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 don't have this perfectly worked out, but we are going to have it perfectly worked out. | ||
| It's the Axios. | ||
| This was last night. | ||
| I talked about this on the John Frederick Radio Show when it did a hit this morning. | ||
| When Collins, who's Fauci's boss, was on Axios last night for the big interview, you know, their HBO show, and they always try to break it with the newsmaker and have plenty of scoops, right? | ||
| Here's where they're going with this, ladies and gentlemen, because now they're talking about masks until 2022. | ||
| Tony Fauci, 2022. | ||
| Get your mask out. | ||
| Get your mask out. | ||
| Look, and I'm all for anything that's got evidence. | ||
| We're the guys, remember, who broke this thing back in January. | ||
| We're also the guys that said, no matter how much you hide the football, it's from a biological weapons program run by the PLA out of the Wuhan lab. | ||
| Don't need to go look for a bat in the wet market. | ||
| Don't need to go down and look in a bat cave, okay? | ||
| This was a gain-of-function experiment financed by Tony Fauci. | ||
| Finance by Tony Fauci, our own at NIH, and now we know they're going to continue to finance Wuhan for the next couple years, I guess under the NIH and HHS budget. | ||
| Which is another outrage why we've never held Tony Fauci, specifically, accountable for the gain of function. | ||
| But last night, Collins, Collins comes out in the first 30 seconds to make sure that he is rubbing the nose of all the rubes out there. | ||
| He says, by last March, We had the evidence, was pretty compelling by last March, the evidence was pretty compelling by last March that uniform wearing of masks would reduce transmissions of disease. | ||
| He is Tony Fauci's boss, okay? | ||
| And a total bureaucrat. | ||
| He is the administrative state. | ||
| The evidence, and I'm quoting from the Axios interview, The evidence was pretty compelling by last March or April that uniform wearing of masks would reduce transmission of this disease. | ||
| The evidence, and they have been looking at this evidence from the beginning, that's how they felt confident enough about masks. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Rahim Kassam, the big wet kiss that Tony Fauci got from 60 Minutes, I think was March, was it March 8th or 9th? | ||
| Yeah, March 8th, I think. | ||
| March 8th. | ||
| And one of the things the guy pressed him on was about mask wearing. | ||
| And he went out of his way to say, Americans, that this was just as bad when he dismissed it back in January. | ||
| Nothing to worry about. | ||
| It's something out of China. | ||
| Nothing to worry about. | ||
| Nothing's going to happen. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| That's what he said on the John Katz and Mattini Show on, I think, January 23rd, Sunday the 23rd. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| Nothing to see here, right? | ||
| Nothing to see here. | ||
| Then later, oh, I talk to my Chinese colleagues every day, right? | ||
| They tell me there's no human-to-human transmission. | ||
| They're always truthful. | ||
| Now, Collins, in trying to sell, you've got to wear a mask for 2022, right? | ||
| You've got to wear a mask for 2022. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've been telling you this for years! | |
| It's amazing. | ||
| And Fauci is there at the exact same time. | ||
| If the evidence is there, it's got to come in the chain of command. | ||
| Tony Fauci had to be on top of those studies. | ||
| Tony Fauci had to authorize those studies. | ||
| Tony Fauci had to be doing those studies. | ||
| Are you telling me that Tony Fauci did not know on March 8th or 9th, or wherever we're going to get the date of this, when he said, in the 60 Minutes guy's press release says, this is a big deal, Dr. Fauci. | ||
| People are going to be hanging on your every word. | ||
| You know, now if you Google it, excuse me, if you search it, when they go to Fauci and the lie he told back in March, the first five articles are, you know, right-wing false spinning of Fauci upon new evidence. | ||
| No, you are wrong, because Collins tells us now they had overwhelming evidence to do this about Mask back in March. | ||
| And this is about what Tony Fauci, once again, misleading the public, looking at you right in the camera and lying to you, just like he did with herd immunity. | ||
| Remember, herd immunity now, they're talking about 80 to 90 percent. | ||
| Herd immunity, when he first started talking about it, was 60 percent. | ||
| Hey, we're data evidence-based. | ||
| You can have a miss and maybe it's 63 percent, maybe it's 65 percent. | ||
| This is not a miss. | ||
| And he says, oh, I didn't think the American people were ready. | ||
| I didn't think they were ready. | ||
| You know, they would have panicked. | ||
| They were not ready. | ||
| We don't know about the vaccines. | ||
| We don't know what's really happening with the vaccines. | ||
| Particularly now, he answered this question the other day, if grandparents have had it, and by the way, the announcer, I think it was somebody from CNN, was shocked. | ||
| If the grandparents have it, can't they have a dinner and like hug the grandkids because they now got the vaccine? | ||
| And he's sitting there going, no, no. | ||
| And I think it's because they don't know about the transmissibility issue and they haven't been straightforward on transmissibility after you've had the vaccine or after you've had essentially what is experimental gene therapy, which is what the one aspect, one of the things they call a vaccine is experimental gene therapy, as every smart guy in Silicon Valley or in Southern California and the biotech corridor down there tells me, all the venture capitalists and doctors. | ||
| So Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Dr. Tony Fauci. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think really what we need here is Natalie Winters to go through all of this timeline and all of these details. | |
| That was a cry for help. | ||
| That was a cry for help. | ||
| When I get stuck on the detail, I've got to bring in the Calvary. | ||
| Bring in the hammer. | ||
| No, but it's true, because there's so many details here, and she's a very detailed, orientated reporter, that it's sometimes hard to remember all these details. | ||
| for instance, detail, the Echo Health Alliance, right? | ||
| And the money it took, it took money in COVID relief, the Echo Health Alliance. | ||
| Meanwhile, who's the Echo Health Alliance guy? | ||
| Well, he's the guy who's been working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. | ||
| Funding the gain-of-function experiments. | ||
| The gain-of-function experiments. | ||
| Oh, he also pops up, he's really the face of, the public face of the WHO investigation. | ||
| How did this happen? | ||
| You think the brother's got a couple of three conflicts? | ||
| By the way, these are Fauci's buddies. | ||
| These are Collins' friends. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, the reason we do this is to make sure we're pressing the Biden administration every day. | ||
| Jake Sullivan just came out over the weekend. | ||
| Hey, you know what? | ||
| There's a problem here. | ||
| They're not turning over the raw data to us. | ||
| This is what we press from day one. | ||
| They went, and if you looked at the buried lead and all the analysis report, it was interviews they did, the Dulcich and these guys, interviews they did with the staff. | ||
| Who are all associated with the PLA, right, and the CCP. | ||
| Of course the staff, what are they going to do? | ||
| Tell the Westerners the truth and be taken out and shot in their family shot? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| So they told them, yeah, you know, we think it's a wet market. | ||
| So upon review and interviews of the staff, that's where my beloved Financial Times of London just pulling out a random paper here. | ||
| WHO team says Wuhan lab leak highly unlikely as source of virus. | ||
| That came from it, and why is this a point where I go back and hammer on this? | ||
| You ain't going to get to a solution of this until we find out where this virus came from. | ||
| What part of their biological weapons program which, hey, the folks that went on, the great investigative reporters that went on, Bill Maher, What, a month ago and said, ah, people would have probably believed this, but the wrong guy delivered the message. | ||
| That would be Stephen K. Bannon, okay? | ||
| Sorry if you can't handle the truth. | ||
| You know, in this issue, what's the date on this one? | ||
| The Financial Times, it's in front of you. | ||
| About a month ago. | ||
| It is Wednesday, February 10th. | ||
| If you go into the article after the front page, if you go into the article on page 8, whatever, there is mention of Peter Daszak in kind of the penultimate paragraph in his potential conflicts here. | ||
| There's no mention, however, of his colleague on that same panel, Marion Koopmans. | ||
| Koopmans had worked for the Chinese Communist Party Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and had even authored studies funded by Chinese government-backed grants. | ||
| And this is the team that the WHO is sending over there. | ||
| By the way, with Sleepy Joe's approval now, right, he's taken him back in to the WHO and here's the thing you need to understand about all of this right now as well, because the intensity of the pressure on Joe Biden is going to increase and his team and all of these people that they've lauded, Fauci, Collins, this whole thing. | ||
| We have now got the email address that is sent to the White House COVID task force for their every morning briefings. | ||
| They say please submit your your reporters questions here. | ||
| So we have now that you now have that and we are going to submit to them every single day. | ||
| Do you distance yourself from the findings of Marion Koopmans and Peter Daszak given their background and clear compromise? | ||
| with the Chinese Communist Party. Let's hear from this White House if they are willing to own the conclusive findings of people paid by the CCP that are working presumptively for the WHO that are at the same time taking American taxpayers cash in the form of COVID relief. Let's hear it. | ||
| This audience, if you want to see what you've supported, that's a hospital ship that's retrofitted over 72 hours and sent from Norfolk Naval Station up to New York City to the piers on the West Side to be there to help the victims back in March and April. | ||
| It is refitting the Javits Center to become a massive field hospital. | ||
| It is having the Army build a field hospital in Central Park. | ||
| And I forgot! | ||
| It's also the Billy Graham's family, the Samaritan's Purse, I think putting up two million dollars to build their own facility there to help and assistance. | ||
| That's what this audience supported. | ||
| This audience supports action, action, action, where it can be provided to help people. | ||
| And what you get is spin and misrepresentation. | ||
| Biden administration, Owns Tony Fauci, okay? | ||
| They own Tony Fauci, what he's been saying. | ||
| This guy is a pathological liar, okay? | ||
| You can go back and look, chapter and verse of what he has told and misled the American people. | ||
| You got to get to this mass thing. | ||
| Collins and Axios, Mike Allen, Jonathan Faulkner, you should be ashamed of yourself to have the reporter, when the guy says that, go, excuse me, didn't Fauci come out in 60 minutes and totally contradict that? | ||
| Had he seen this report? | ||
| In February? | ||
| Because the reports just don't get dropped. | ||
| They go through draft stages. | ||
| You get to talk to him. | ||
| He definitely knew about this study, yet he went out and misled the American people. | ||
| This is what Tony Fauci does. | ||
| And now you've got Jake Sullivan, these guys at WHO, they're backing off this thing and saying, hey, you know what? | ||
| The Chinese have not really been that out front in sending us the information, the raw data. | ||
| Well, you're damn right they haven't. | ||
| The reason is they're hiding it. | ||
| They've either destroyed most of it or they're hiding it because it's tied, once again, to a biological weapons program overseen and run by the People's Liberation Army. | ||
| And we're not going to get to the bottom of all of this and hold them accountable until we get to Wuhan and start acting like adults, not like feckless hacks! | ||
| Okay, we're going to return. | ||
| The precinct committeeman. | ||
| We're going to get all your stories. | ||
| We want every story. | ||
| You know, Raheem Heard went out in Arizona this week. | ||
| We want all the stories of you patriots that are starting to use your agency. | ||

Next, on The War Room. | |
| 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. | ||
| You know, over the weekend, I had a lot of younger people, people in their, you know, in their 20s come to me, it's all over, I'm being radical, you know, this is, you know, it's all over, nothing to be done. | ||
| I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Blackpilled? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, this is, that's the way to say it. | ||
| Remember, there are a bunch of studies, I think it was in World War I or World War II, there were a bunch of studies about the British and American merchant marine. | ||
| It was about ships that got torpedoed by the Wolfpacks. | ||
| And it was about survival. | ||
| And what they found out is that older people survived at much higher rates than younger people. | ||
| And the younger people were in better shape, could often swim, they could do everything. | ||
| And younger people died in pretty dramatic differences in percentages than the older. | ||
| And the reason was experience. | ||
| Older people just realize, I can get through this. | ||
| I've been through tough stuff before. | ||
| Younger people, although in better shape, in better fitness, actually acclimated to the water even more than older people in that generation, just gave up because they didn't have the experience of having time. | ||
| Note to self, we're winning here. | ||
| This administration is all over the map. | ||
| We've broken their pick on the number one thing they want to jam through, which is the which is the amnesty bill. | ||
| That's what I thought was going to transform their big talk. | ||
| We're going to do that. | ||
| That's now going to all be in pieces and we got to stop the pieces. | ||
| The only way the pieces get through if the Lindsey Graham's betray us. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And remember, there are people on point here now, you've seen Stephen Miller all over TV, people on point as not to let this happen. | ||
| But every aspect of what they're trying to do with the radical nature of destroying sports for young girls, with this radical nature of what they're doing with the vaccine. | ||
| Hey, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but you can't get a straight answer to any of these guys on masks, on social distancing, on what the vaccine really does for transmissibility, anything. | ||
| You can't get a straight answer on the school openings. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| And what? | ||
| And it's take the commanding heights. | ||
| Donald J. Trump came out and as an Axios reported, and then Jason Miller backed up an interview. | ||
| He said, I'm the presumptive nominee. | ||
| That means everybody step aside. | ||
| We're getting back in business right now. | ||

|
2022. | |
| He's got to lead the ticket. | ||
| He can't have the feckless, hapless McCarthy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You can't have that. | ||
| We've been through that disaster here the last couple of months. | ||
| And they said, well, McCarthy did such a good job. | ||
| That was all Donald Trump. | ||
| It's on Donald Trump's shoulders that we had the great showing. | ||
| This shows you Trump. | ||
| Trump's going to be the head of this in 2022 and then in 24. | ||
| And this time, it's just not electing Republicans. | ||
| It's electing Trump MAGA, as we said in that story in Pennsylvania, where Greg Mance, formerly of the War Room, threw down hard and Jason Miller's throwing down hard. | ||
| I'm so proud of the alumni out of this organization and what they're doing. | ||
| Before we turn to it, and this is the way you do it. | ||
| Everybody in this audience, this is action, action, action. | ||
| Look, we're not here to have you passively listen to this, you know, we're not entertainers. | ||
| So this is about action, about engagement. | ||
| We're here to present either geopolitics, or finance, or capital markets, or the pandemic, or politics, or geopolitics, all of it. | ||
| In a framework that you guys can then make your own decisions, but it's about empowering you. | ||
| I think now we've got 10 organizations out there that we put up that you guys can join for free and become part of a force multiplied. | ||
| Tonight, by the way, on the California recall situation, we're having a Zoom meeting, I think, for 300 people we've tied together from Southern California and Texas to hear Tom Del Beccaro. | ||
| Actually go through and walk through what they're doing in the recall of Gavin Newsom in California. | ||
| The key thing right now is this precinct committeeman. | ||
| And this is what the great Dan Schultz, who's just been an evangelist about this for years and years and years, now is his moment. | ||
| You're seeing people sign up. | ||
| They had over 110,000, I think, hits to his website. | ||
| Last week of people engaged in getting information and thousands if not tens of thousands are trying to fill those 200,000 billets that we've got to get filled now that you know that Trump's he's he's brought pure clarity he's in 100% so are you in are you gonna back him up the way to back to play is not to send a check the way to back to play is not to retweet social media all that's great The way to back him up is to use your agency, to use your agency to sign up as a precinct committeeman. | ||
| Raheem, to sign up your thoughts, and then I want to bring in a very special guest that was with you out in Arizona, although she's from Michigan. | ||
| If Greg and Jason are alumni, I mean, I haven't graduated yet. | ||
| No, you haven't graduated. | ||
| Am I redoing year one? | ||
| As we say in the number, you're permanently under instruction, okay? | ||
| UI, under instruction. | ||
| It's funny you say that about experience because that's something that I mean you know I'm still only 34 but I keep every year now I learn and learn and learn and I'm I have a lot of younger friends who say to me oh you know you're under constant attack you're always in these Twitter fights and you you got a broadcast four hours a day and you're planning a wedding and you know all of this stuff and I just go so? | ||
| And a lot of it comes down to stoicism, right? | ||
| Repeating these mantras in your head, realizing that you're not the first to go through this, you certainly won't be the last. | ||
| Keep calm and carry on. | ||
| And there can be no other way. | ||
| I forget the biblical reference here, but the question is asked in the Bible, you know, which among you, or who among you, can add but a single year of your life through anxiety, right? | ||
| And that's, you've got to get over that. | ||
| Once you learn to get over that, and you process that information, then you can kind of do anything. | ||
| The lilies of the field. | ||
| Yeah, you will realize you can do anything. | ||
| If you, you know, stress is a very modern invention. | ||
| It's a thing that we're told over and over again that we suffer from. | ||
| But actually we don't suffer from it. | ||
| We allow it to have its impact on us. | ||
| You can just choose not to. | ||
| You can choose not to feel stressed out about something and that's what's wonderful about these people that we're about to hear from who have taken an active step to do something. | ||
| Okay, I want to bring it first, Samantha Strayer from Michigan, who was one of the initial people to hit the bid on Dan Schultz's site. | ||
| Raheem, you actually met her this weekend. | ||
| Why don't you take it over and walk through how she actually got there, because I know she told you the story, came up out of the crowd and told you the story in Arizona. | ||
| Well, let's hear the story. | ||
| I mean, you know, I was walking up to the stage and was flagged down and told, hey, I've got to tell you something. | ||
| Samantha, why don't you tell us the story? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, guys. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| It all really began on November 4th for me, because I do believe the election was stolen from President Trump. | ||
| And every day since then has been a punch in my gut. | ||
| And I finally got to that point and I've been working through, Raheem, like what you were talking about, the frustration and the stress and the anger. | ||
| And I thought, okay, I am probably asking the question that millions of Americans are asking. | ||
| Which is, what can I do? | ||
| And so, I've listened to, you know, Matt Brainerd and Scott Pressler and others, and those guys are doing really great things, but it wasn't until, Stephen Rahim, I heard your interview with Dan Schultz on February 6th, and I thought, okay, a precinct committeeman, now I know what that is, and that it's actually a really powerful position, and that's exactly what I was interested in doing. | ||
| So I took a chance and I reached out to my local county GOP group. | ||
| I'm here in Washtenaw County, Michigan. | ||
| The county seat is Ann Arbor, so that gives you a sense of what we're up against. | ||
| And I thought, okay, what can I do? | ||
| How can I help? | ||
| And in speaking with several of the committee members, including our chairman, David Frey, I shared with them my experience as a writer and an editor, and I've been Published as a freelance writer as well, and they were very excited. | ||
| There were a few positions open, but there were more candidates than positions available. | ||
| So that's, I think, another great sign that people are stepping forward in response to what's going on. | ||
| And within 12 days, I had nominated myself and with a special motion by the chairman I was elected as a member of the executive committee and made their communications director. | ||
| So that all just happened literally the night before I met Rahim. | ||
| So Samantha, you're saying you were welcomed with open arms and said, hey, and you said, hey, I get the skill set. | ||
| So you're already like the comms director already, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, that's right. | |
| This is what we're talking about. | ||
| Look, you're going to meet some resistance. | ||
| We know we're going to have some people from Georgia who are both good and bad. | ||
| You're going to meet with some resistance in certain areas where the establishers are sitting there going, we're not interested in having you in, and that means you're going to have to fight. | ||
| But you're going to find many situations, I think, like Samantha, where people are going, hey, we need all the help we can get. | ||
| We've got to win. | ||
| We need the help. | ||
| And if you've got a skill set, we'll put it to use. | ||
| So Samantha, it sounds like so far you would tell the audience it's been a great experience for you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So far it's been tremendous and I would love to encourage other listeners to say, you know what, if you love America and you think the founding fathers are the good guys, not the bad guys, and you are interested in doing something about the disaster that was November 3rd, then you're qualified. | |
| You are totally qualified. | ||
| You just need to get off your butt and go do something. | ||
| And whatever you can give, give. | ||
| Okay, Samantha, hang on for a second. | ||
| We're going to bring in now Mark Knowles from Bend, Oregon. | ||
| Mark, you've had an experience now as a precinct committeeman of signing up here recently. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through exactly what happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I heard Dan on your show, and that was the inspiration for me. | |
| And he has this simple 1-2-3 program, you know, contact your county Republicans, and go to a meeting, be friendly and nice, and then get yourself in action. | ||
| Is off, starts up like this coming September, but an appointment provision. | ||
| So I'm being appointed this one tomorrow at the monthly meeting. | ||
| And I happen to know a couple of people. | ||
| When I reached out, I knew a couple of the faces that were there and I'm excited about it. | ||
| And Dan has just been, um, he's just been amazing. | ||
| He has that simple plan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| One, two, three, half the life is showing up. | ||
| Just get up and do it. | ||
| And I, I, I'm the same thing. | ||
| That, uh, she just mentioned was on November 4th. | ||
| I can, I do, I have to do something. | ||
| I just can't sit around and by the wayside, our County has been, I've been here for 38 years. | ||
| It's been the entire time in November 4th. | ||
| And I just couldn't believe it. | ||
| This is like pickup trucks and rifles. | ||
| And to just have that happen in your own backyard is just, um, flat out. | ||
| Yeah, you come from a beautiful part of the country. | ||
| I just want to say, uh, so the key is going to start is to go to Dan Schultz's site, which is what? | ||
| Theprecinctproject.wordpress.com. | ||
| It's a simple system when you get in there. | ||
| Also, you can send Dan an email and he'll get back to you. | ||
| I mean, Schultz is dedicated. | ||
| He's a West Point grad. | ||
| He's dedicated his life to this. | ||
| And this is a game changer. | ||
| This is where you go from being a force multiplier to actually getting into, this is an empowering, um, uh, A position. | ||
| Once you have this, you have power. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because the way the structure of the Republican Party is actually structured from the base up. | ||
| It's structured that the precinct committeemen are essentially the controlling mechanism. | ||
| That's why there's 400,000. | ||
| There's 200,000, or there were 200,000 empty billets when we started this process. | ||
| And the reason that you don't know about it, whether you're Samantha Stray in Michigan or Mark Knowles in Oregon, because the establishment doesn't want you to know that these are out there. | ||
| And this is what Dan Schultz has been saying. | ||
| So Mark, are both you guys, actually I'll start with you, Mark, and then to Samantha, are both you guys reaching out to other people you know and saying, hey, you've got to get engaged here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm just stepping into the party, so I do know some of those folks. | |
| I need to kind of plug in and kind of work. | ||
| Dan's already connected me to three other people, one in Josh in Bryanville and Susan in Baker City, and I'm going to help them find their precinct chairman. | ||
| They can either get elected or to get appointed, whatever they're looking for. | ||
| Mark, thank you very much for joining us from Bend, Oregon. | ||
| I really appreciate it. | ||
| I love it when you've got Baker City, Oregon, Bend, Oregon. | ||
| This is the backbone of America. | ||
| Mark Knowles, thank you very much. | ||
| Samantha, you can hang on. | ||
| Just after the break, I want to ask you the same question. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| This shows you that Dan Schultz's program is working. | ||
| He's had over 100,000 inquiries into his site, more than I think than the previous 10 years together. | ||
| People are on fire and people are engaged. | ||
| Remember, you can become actually a member of the Republican Party and somebody that has power. | ||

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. | ||
| Another volunteer, somebody that stood up and said, hey, I've had enough of this, and now I'm going to put my shoulder to the wheel with Donald J. Trump, is Samantha Strayer from Michigan. | ||
| Met with Rahim this weekend at the speech he gave out in Phoenix. | ||
| Rahim. | ||
| Samantha, I just wanted to get from you the same that we asked our other guests as well. | ||
| What now for you? | ||
| It's not always going to be easy, and what are you doing to bring other people in and connecting with other people to make this work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I've already been kind of plotting and scheming, thinking about ways that I can, you know, what does it mean to be a communications director? | |
| So I've reached out to colleagues who are very smart about these kinds of things. | ||
| I'm going to do informational interviews and just gather as much information I can. | ||
| Of course, get direction from my chairman and the other leadership on the committee. | ||
| And of course, reaching out to friends that I know are in Washtenaw County and just start that very kind of Proactive, very intentional. | ||
| Hey, we need to get involved. | ||
| Do you know anybody? | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| We don't have time to wait, even though the next election is in 2022. | ||
| We have got to be starting. | ||
| I saw you talking to so many people at the event about it, right? | ||
| Samantha, you were talking to so many people there at the Hillsdale event about it. | ||
| Good. | ||
| I brought it up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, what are you guys doing? | |
| You know, and just kind of seeing what other people are up to and what they're learning. | ||
| That's what Dan Schultz wants. | ||
| He wants people stalking people. | ||
| Samantha, you have social media people can follow you on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right now I'm on Gab. | |
| Yes, thanks. | ||
| I'm on Gab and my pieces, when I publish as a freelancer, I'm on The Federalist and American Greatness, but right now my focus is on Gab. | ||
| You've got to get over to the National Post. | ||
| Thank you very much, Samantha Strayer. | ||
| By the way, get her in the live chat. | ||
| That's what we need. | ||
| Samantha Strayer, another American patriot. | ||
| Okay, we've got a beginning and we've got an end on this show. | ||
| We've got a beginning and we're bringing in Cain from Citizens Free Press. | ||
| An amazing announcement yesterday about a new sports site, right? | ||
| And at the end, we've also got an obituary from a great American about Curtis Ellis in the New York Times yesterday we want to talk about. | ||
| So, Cain, tell us about the new sports site. | ||
| What's the name? | ||
| How do people get there? | ||
| And why, given as busy as you are, working 20 hours a day, how did you have time to launch a sports site that we don't have to watch ESPN now? | ||
| We can just go right to your new site. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's right. | |
| Forget ESPN. | ||
| I just borrow the Raheem Kassam, Stephen K. Bannon, Dragon Energy, and I just follow you guys. | ||
| Look, I'm not even going to be, you know, there's no way in heck that I can be involved with that site. | ||
| It's gut smack, by the way. | ||
| So, I'll give the background. | ||
| You know, We all grew up with not conservative sports or liberal sports, just sports. | ||
| Sports without politics. | ||
| Why did sports become infested with politics? | ||
| Well, we know why. | ||
| It's the left. | ||
| And I'm sick of it. | ||
| And I launched Gutsmack for that reason. | ||
| You know, it's going to be a different type of sports site. | ||
| It'll cover everything. | ||
| I've got two fantastic guys working on it, a 22-year-old Just graduated Gonzaga kid handling the West Coast and a and a former political reporter for a well known Washington establishment handling sort of the East Coast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Guts Mac will be 20 20 hours a day of sports headlines updating nine in the morning till three in the morning, and it'll be slightly different. | |
| You know, a slightly different take on on the sports world. | ||
| I wanted to say about your previous guest and the theme you've had for the last half hour of citizens getting involved, you know, it's fantastic. | ||
| You guys have been preaching it, you're leading the way, but it's just fantastic to see it finally coming true, to see so many people trying to get involved. | ||
| And I know here's the big issue, right? | ||
| Do we create the MAGA party or do we take over the Republican party? | ||
| Everyone has a theme. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's takeover. | |
| We don't want to split the vote. | ||
| This isn't the UK. | ||
| We can't form a coalition with two sides. | ||
| We need one party and we need to take it over. | ||
| I want to go back to something. | ||
| It's Gutsmack. | ||
| You go to Citizen Free Press. | ||
| Let's get it. | ||
| I want to make sure we got it. | ||
| We got a link up there of how you do it. | ||
| Gutsmack is the website. | ||
| Go to Citizen Free Press right now. | ||
| They got a link to it. | ||
| But here's a more important thing. | ||
| The more important thing is, Cain, you told me a couple of years ago, you just had an idea of doing a site because you were getting interested in the news and how it was interpreted. | ||
| Both Samantha Strayer and Mark Knowles got off the couch and went and joined. | ||
| This will change your life. | ||
| This show is about your agency. | ||
| This is about your agency. | ||
| There's something out there. | ||
| And that's when we put up like ten of these sites in the live stream every day. | ||
| Find your interest. | ||
| Maybe it's not in the raw politics of it. | ||
| So maybe being a precinct committeeman is not for you. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| But we want everybody that it is for to try it out. | ||
| But maybe it's maybe it's doing the recall. | ||
| Maybe it's doing something on the religious side. | ||
| Maybe it's doing something on on philanthropic. | ||
| We're going to give you access to all this. | ||
| Maybe it's just learning more and pushing education. | ||
| Or maybe it's getting into the news and becoming a volunteer to an organization like Citizens Free Press. | ||
| But the key thing, Kane, is your life totally changed once you made that commitment. | ||
| That's what we find in life. | ||
| Once you commit You know, people come to you, you'll find a book, you'll find an article, and the reason is, remember, as the ancients taught us, your being attracts your life. | ||
| Your being attracts your life. | ||
| Cain, it's amazing you've got this sports site up today. | ||
| Gutsmack. | ||
| Go to Citizen Free Press. | ||
| It's right up there. | ||
| He's got a couple of editors on it, 24-7, just like you get. | ||
| You got the stack. | ||
| I went there right away. | ||
| I got the sports stack, which was amazing. | ||
| So, Kane, we want to thank you so much for doing this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you know, you made a good point. | |
| That's what you guys should do. | ||
| Not that you're not already doing it, but lead the way for the next four years while we battle. | ||
| Showcase all the citizens getting involved. | ||
| That's really the key. | ||
| You made the point about it changing your life. | ||
| Yeah, in my case, it obviously has. | ||
| 1,400 straight days of sitting in an office in the People's Marxist Republic of Bloomington. | ||
| But you guys are doing the same thing in the militarized zone of D.C. | ||
| So you lead this effort. | ||
| Let's get more and more citizens involved. | ||
| Let's fight. | ||
| Let's take over the Republican Party. | ||
| Let's modify the Republican Party. | ||
| We can kick out the folks we don't need. | ||
| We can get in the people we do need. | ||
| We can get some AOC-type candidates who get the press. | ||
| We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| We've got others on the on the come. | ||
| So I'm excited for the next two years and I appreciate the opportunity both of you are providing to me and to all all these sort of citizen enterprises. | ||
| Cain, thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, three o'clock, we're going to have a line-by-line analysis on the Raheem Kassam podcast. | ||
| It's on Friday. | ||
| Well, hold on, not three o'clock. | ||
| Anytime this afternoon. | ||
| Anytime this afternoon. | ||
| That's the beauty of it. | ||
| When we come back at five, we're also going to talk about the obituaries in yesterday's paper, New York Times, about Curtis Ellis, a great American, a great American, and one of the leaders of the MAGA movement, one of the leaders of American First, and one of the principal guys with Peter Navarro, of the architecture Of the policies that got working class Hispanics down the Rio Grande Valley to vote for Donald Trump in record numbers. | ||
| By the way, I mean, Cain's right. | ||
| It's not just Vox Populi anymore, right? | ||
| It's now Opus Populi. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Actions of the people. | ||
| Actions of the people. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Rahim Ghassan has just nailed it right there. | ||
| It's so good, I'm going to steal it as an homage. |
