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. Banham. | ||
| Okay, we are having an explosive hearing over there right now, the Homeland Security, with Sund, the head of the Capitol Police. | ||
| Raheem, they're dropping some bombshells over there. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| Now, just to remind people, Steve Sund was the former head of the Capitol Police, and he was really the focal point of, remember my timeline piece? | ||
| Big time. | ||
| You've got the New York Times, they worked off of your draft. | ||
| Well, the interesting thing was, there was a very late night Sunday night piece at the Washington Post, where it took some interview points with Steve Sund, and I looked at it and I went, oh my goodness, you know how much I hate working on a Sunday night? | ||
| You know how much I hate working? | ||
| You know, I especially hate working on a Sunday night. | ||
| And I saw this thing and I immediately sat down at my desk, must have been 10 or 11pm, and I started grinding through the timeline. | ||
| It then turned out, as we heard from the impeachment saga and the whole thing, that they had to pivot, because the timeline didn't make sense. | ||
| Sun made that very clear to us in those few interview points and now he's up there in his opening statement he's talking about Antifa and the intelligence that the capital police had in advance of January the 6th. | ||
| Yes he says other groups but he also mentions Antifa. | ||
| Now this is critical. | ||
| Because remember we're constantly told by the political left that Antifa is just an idea and it is not an organized group and Sun puts that to bed with this testimony here. | ||
| The second really interesting part about this is that you're now seeing that there were calls especially that Vanity Fair article that Jack Posobiec pulled out and we did a piece on it as well that Donald Trump, President Trump Actually approved the deployment of national 10,000 National Guard troops the day before on January the 5th and it was actually the apparatus the bureaucracy that told him no or that decided not to act on this. | ||
| It comes at the best time possible. | ||
| Guess why? | ||
| This morning you know I told you we're going through some of the bills that Democrats are now proposing. | ||
| Instead of doing the $2,000 for people they're proposing all these bills. | ||
| One of them is It is a bill to make the mayor of Washington, D.C. | ||
| have full gubernatorial powers, the control over the National Guard within Washington, D.C. | ||
| She's the one, Bowser is the one, who refused to call for the National Guard in advance of January the 6th, and they now want to give her exclusive control over that. | ||
| This actually touches deeper issues. | ||
| Remember, one of the biggest things we've been mocked and ridiculed, all this phony Antifa, you're just saying Antifa, they're belly laughing, all you guys, this is just... | ||
| Let's cut to the chase and talk about the deeper and bigger issue. | ||
| Both impeachments. | ||
| The hard drive from hell, the Justice Department and the FBI had in December of 2019. | ||
| There wouldn't have been any impeachment. | ||
| And Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would have been the nominee. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The hard drive from hell, Hunter Biden. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They had that for almost a year before Rudy Giuliani, Bob Costello and myself were able with the New York Post to break it and then with Jack Max and the guys put it out on Twitter, which that's the reason they took it out on Twitter. | ||
| Here, Sund was the guy that was summarily dismissed, correct me if I'm wrong, by Nancy Pelosi? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Fired by Nancy Pelosi? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Why do we even... Are you telling me with a couple of questions and son before you fired him he didn't tell you this? | ||
| They knew these facts before they impeached Donald J. Trump. | ||
| This is the hypocrisy. | ||
| They knew the fact that he had put forward the National Guard. | ||
| It looks like Milley or somebody over at DOD didn't actually want to push it that hard. | ||
| It looks like from the testimony. | ||
| But now you have the second deep reveal. | ||
| Pelosi and the Democrats knew, and this has got to be a 2022 issue, they knew that Trump was innocent of all of this. | ||
| before they impeached him. Right? Look, the early reports again go back to some of those Pelosi and McConnell both knew all of this information and ultimately the chief of Capitol Police answers to the leadership on both sides. This is not just Pelosi, this goes right to McConnell as well and I want to know what Mitch McConnell knew and when he knew it. Great segue. This is such an important... | ||
| This is such an important point. | ||
| So I want to go to John Fredericks. | ||
| This gets down to the political article about Trump versus McConnell. | ||
| Trump said, hey, I am the Republican Party and my followers are the core of the Republican Party. | ||
| McConnell's sitting there laughing. | ||
| These guys over here, they're laughing and mocking it. | ||
| Right now, this is explosive. | ||
| You nailed it. | ||
| What did McConnell know, and when did he know it? | ||
| Particularly him to give that speech after President Trump was acquitted? | ||
| To sit there and accuse him and his mob? | ||
| President Trump was acquitted after this absurd drive-by impeachment by Nancy Pelosi, and then what happens? | ||
| Afterwards, Mitch McConnell gets up and gives this speech excoriating the President of the United States, and still he hasn't answered. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi hasn't answered. | ||
| what they knew and when about what was going to happen on January 6th. | ||
| OK, the CPAC this week, President Trump is giving, I guess, the closing speech or a new closing speech on Sunday afternoon. | ||
| John Fredericks, how does the McConnell versus Trump, because it's really not a versus because Trump, I mean, the Trump followers, this audience dominates the Republican Party. | ||
| We're not going to start a third party. | ||
| We're going to take the party over. | ||
| We got Dan Schultz coming on at the bottom of the hour, tells how to do it. | ||
| Fredericks, how do you see this light lining up? | ||
| We have motivation and we have speed. | ||
| They have a donor list and power and money. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I'll take our odds any day. | ||
| When Trump gets to CPAC, game on, 3.30 on Sunday. | ||
| By the way, Steve and I are going to do a show before he gets on and then we're going to have Steve break it down. | ||
| I'll be live at CPAC after he speaks on Sunday. | ||
| That's all coming up right here. | ||
| And look, Mike Pence didn't go to CPAC because if he went, he would have been heckled off the stage. | ||
| He'd have been booed. | ||
| That's why he didn't go. | ||
| It doesn't have anything to do with Trump or anything else. | ||
| He didn't go because he'd be booed, period. | ||
| This is Trump's party. | ||
| This is a populist movement. | ||
| He's going to come in there at 3.30 on Sunday. | ||
| He's going to lay it out. | ||
| I don't know if he's going to run in 2024. | ||
| He's going to be very involved in 2022. | ||
| He's going to have a string of primary victories because, hey, Taking the party over, two things, like Dan Shultz says, like we're doing in Georgia and Virginia, you got to get very involved at the precinct grassroots level. | ||
| The other thing is you have to nominate pro-America first populist candidates for governor, for lieutenant governor, for general assembly, for senate, for congress. | ||
| Lindsey Graham down there at Mar-a-Lago working the phone and making phone calls and said, oh we gotta have, you know, we gotta have victories. | ||
| No, we have to have Trump-MAGA victories. | ||
| That's in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Right for our President Greitens. | ||
| Frederick, you'll start showing me something when I start getting some hearings, when I start getting some wins down in Georgia. | ||
| Before I start talking trash on a national stage, clean up the mess down in Georgia. | ||
| Virginia is already gone. | ||
| Now we're deploying you down to Georgia. | ||
| This Georgia thing is outrageous. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| That's the beating heart of the whole problem. | ||
| If they had called a special session, Trump would be in the White House right now. | ||
| This is what's so outrageous, and they're down to the Chamber of Commerce and the elites and the establishment are rubbing your nose in it, folks down in Georgia. | ||
| You should be embarrassed. | ||
| And I realize it ain't easy to do the Dan Schultz program. | ||
| They got a little caucus thing. | ||
| They don't actually want people showing up, but you've got to show Georgia. | ||
| Gritens, the populist versus the McConnell faction. | ||
| Yeah, look, everybody sees it now. | ||
| The Band-Aid has been ripped off. | ||
| It is the establishment versus the American people. | ||
| It is the swamp versus the American people. | ||
| It is President Trump, people who support America First versus Mitch McConnell. | ||
| And the Band-Aid has been ripped off now. | ||
| And all of the corruption of the establishment is starting to be exposed day after day after day. | ||
| And people aren't going to stand for it. | ||
| They're going to stand up and they're going to fight. | ||
| Ultimately, Americans are going to take this country back. | ||
| Rahim, to Greitens and John's point, you've got now the CPAC. | ||
| He's going to give this culmination speech. | ||
| He's already said he's a presumptive candidate in 2024. | ||
| And I am the Republican Party. | ||
| Couldn't have thrown down any harder, right? | ||
| And this is within a month of having this thing stolen from him in November, right? | ||
| And of course they're all saying, you know, all the commentators saying, they were lighting up schlap the other night, you're basing this whole thing on a big lie. | ||
| What do you think, how hard and how hot does Trump come in this week? | ||
| I'm struggling with this question at the moment because, as you know, he's bringing people like Brad Pascal back into the fold. | ||
| And so I worry that President Trump is still not getting the right advice here. | ||
| I don't actually believe he got all the right advice before this process took place. | ||
| I think actually that speech up at the Ellipse, you know, he should have walked through precisely the steps that the Vice President could take up there. | ||
| And look, Mike Pence is a nice guy, but in a pinch you don't need a nice guy. | ||
| You need a guy who's willing to take action, and Mike Pence proved that he was not... I agree with John Fredericks. | ||
| Mike Pence is not going there because somebody told him not to or whatever. | ||
| He's not going there because he gets booed, because guess what? | ||
| The public understands that Mike Pence had a constitutional ability to take those papers into his hands and go, this was not conducted as an election. | ||
| It's supposed to be conducted. | ||
| And so I am setting these aside and we are going to have an investigation. | ||
| We're going to revert back to the States. | ||
| And it didn't say, hey, they had to vote for Trump. | ||
| Never said that. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And I think this is one of the things that President Trump has to lay out and say on Sunday is, hey, you know, there is a lot of unfinished business here. | ||
| We are not simply going to look back fondly at that campaign and go, it's time to only look forward. | ||
| No, because there are still these systems, these machines, these executive fiat overreaches by people, bureaucrats in states all around the country who say they want to do this again and again and again. | ||
| I do hope he lays out, and by the way I don't think it's about the staff, I think it's him laying out, and focus on 2022. | ||
| 2024's fine, but the event that's in front of us is sorting out what happened on November 3rd, reinforcing, like in Georgia and Pennsylvania and Arizona, you've got to still vet that. | ||
| He's still got venues to do it. | ||
| He's still got state legislatures to do it, right? | ||
| You gotta vet it there. | ||
| You gotta have these hearings. | ||
| His followers have to know. | ||
| The pressure has to come on there. | ||
| And then I think you gotta lay out. | ||
| Like, you don't need to do a contract for America. | ||
| A lot of people want to do that. | ||
| You don't need to do it. | ||
| But 2022, you gotta lay out now. | ||
| The counter-argument to the chaos of Biden. | ||
| Boom, boom, boom. | ||
| Here's what we're doing. | ||
| Get him up for 2022. | ||
| And I think the president takes the lead. | ||
| My recommendation is, hey, take the lead in 2022. | ||
| You are what this is about. | ||
| People are following you. | ||
| They're looking for a leader. | ||
| You are that leader. | ||
| Just hit it. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Yeah, and I think what also needs to happen, whether it happens at CPAC or soon after, you have to lay out a very clear delineation of what needs to happen about election integrity going into 2022. | ||
| You lay out a very clear plan, and then you can get state legislature. | ||
| Are you a machine guy or non-machine guy? | ||
| I follow the evidence, and to me, I just want answers to simple questions. | ||
| I want to know, you know, where all of these Pelican cases in Georgia that were pulled out in the middle of the night on videotape, where did they come from? | ||
| I want those people to testify. | ||
| But in Missouri, if you were governor now, would you lead an effort to just get out of the machine business? | ||
| I'm not saying the machine's causes. | ||
| I'm saying we either do it by hand or you do it by machine. | ||
| As you look at elections in Missouri, do you need machines? | ||
| No, you don't need machines. | ||
| You don't need machines. | ||
| And if you look, I think Rahim's actually done some good reporting on this. | ||
| When you look at most of the countries in the EU, right? | ||
| Why did they get rid of machines? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because there was a possibility of fraud. | |
| And they got rid of mail-in ballots. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they want people to have confidence in the elections. | ||
| The European Council actually slapped Poland on the wrist just last year and said, don't you dare introduce mail-in ballots to the system. | ||
| You are opening yourselves up to massive fraud. | ||
| That's the European Union! | ||
| OK, John, real quickly, tell people what you're going to be doing for CPAC. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody's watching your show. | ||
| Tell them about your CPAC hours. | ||
| You've got about 60 seconds. | ||
| Look, we're going to be at CPAC Wednesday through Sunday. | ||
| We've got a Steve Bannon show Sunday. | ||
| Prior to Trump speaking, I'll lay it out. | ||
| Then after, I want you to recap on that. | ||
| We've been there for 10 years since I've been on the air. | ||
| We'll be on Radio Row. | ||
| We'll be on at 6 a.m. | ||
| to 10 a.m. | ||
| and then 4 to 5 p.m. | ||
| So, you can call in. | ||
| We're going to have a lot of guests there, and we're going to be at CPAC right there on Radio Row. | ||
| We have a fantastic spot. | ||
| And, of course, our new station launching in Atlanta, March 1st, WMLB Freedom AM 1690, the Doug Collins Show, 3 to 4. | ||
| That starts Bannon, 5 to 6, as always. | ||
| And also 10 to noon, we have a great lineup. | ||
| Go to WMLB1690.com, our lineup is there. | ||
| Go to JohnFredericksRadio.com as we continue to expand. | ||
| If you can help us out with a donation, we'd appreciate it. | ||
| JohnFredericksRadio.com, we continue to expand. | ||
| Freedom rings the, we're the last bastion of free speech in America, right here. | ||
| On election day in 2016, the great concept to have Radio Row in the war room in Trump Tower, one guy showed up. | ||
| We had a Radio Row of one, John Fredericks. | ||
| Okay, we're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| Back with CIA's Sam Faddis, talking about the Grokky Brothers, in a second. | ||
|

|
War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| Yeah, for those of you in the live chat trying to defend Mike Pence, no, this is not just about his Chief of Staff, who was awful, right? | ||
| He knew these arguments directly from Professor John Eastman himself, okay? | ||
| You can't defend Pence. | ||
| Pence is not defensible in this. | ||
| Not defensible. | ||
| And when more comes out about the draft letter, the letter was just dead wrong of what President Trump asked for. | ||
| And what is constitutional, what should have been done, not to send that letter in draft form to anybody, just to drop it on somebody. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| It also shows lack of leadership and just not having an understanding of what you're doing. | ||
| And that sums Mike Pence. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| No, it's not his Chief of Staff. | ||
| The staff around him was terrible, right? | ||
| That goes without saying. | ||
| But this is not a Chief of Staff problem. | ||
| So I want to be very specific. | ||
| I love the live chat. | ||
| I love that you guys are lighting us up today. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| But on certain things I just got to sit there and go no, that is just dead wrong. | ||
| You cannot blame this. | ||
| That's about leadership. | ||
| And that's what I want to say about your thing about the staff around President Trump. | ||
| I think they're good guys. | ||
| But I think President Trump is doing, I think he's thinking this thing through himself. | ||
| And I just hope the focus is on 2022 and the work ahead of us. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I can't convince you to fly down to Mar-a-Lago, can I? | ||
| I'm in the war room. | ||
| I can't leave the show on fire. | ||
| I'm just channeling the audience here. | ||
| Everyone always says you've got to get Steve down there. | ||
| I think we had what 350,000 or 70,000 downloads on the Christian episode we did on Saturday. | ||
| It's just too much work to do here. | ||
| I want to bring in now Sam Faddis, formerly from the CIA, publisher and editor of And Magazine, which is a must-read. | ||
| I want to get everybody to go there. | ||
| He wrote a fantastic piece on the Brothers Gracchi, which is, I gave a speech, Rahim, I think you were with me in Rome? | ||
| I was. | ||
| A couple of years ago. | ||
| That speech, I gave it on the island, where I think the Gracchi is traditional, it's legendary that the Tiberius, the first one, was actually caught and executed there. | ||
| But, and that's the first time I brought up the transhumanism thing, about why I'm a populist, about transhumanism. | ||
| I think it was in 2018, the Brotherhood of Italy, the Brothers of Italy, with Giorgia Maloney, who's a rising star now. | ||
| Rising fashion in Salvini. | ||
| She's a serious person. | ||
| I'll tell you, she'll be Prime Minister of Italy one day. | ||
| I want to go now to Sam. | ||
| Sam, we just had bad news out of Georgia. | ||
| And this is about the ossification of the Republican Party. | ||
| And this used to work in the old days. | ||
| When you didn't have information, and that's the purpose of the War Room. | ||
| The purpose of the War Room is to actually show you how War Room works and to get you information and make your own conclusions. | ||
| But! | ||
| If things don't get sorted in Pennsylvania and Georgia, forget winning in 2022, forget winning in 2024. | ||
| You're not going to motivate people to go knock on doors, you're not going to get the base out there to do the hard work you need to win. | ||
| The left is showing us in 2018 they went and knocked on the doors. | ||
| They showed us what it took to win. | ||
| I don't like their policies, and a lot of them I don't like, but I do admire hard work and grit, and hey, You know, they knocked on doors and then they came back with their whole master plan and it's laid out in Time Magazine in 2020. | ||
| But we control these state legislatures. | ||
| And you're sitting there now, look, Greitens knows better than anybody how it is to work with a Republican establishment. | ||
| But this has to happen. | ||
| So, Faddis, we just had terrible news out of Georgia from John Fredericks, who's the tip of the spear down there. | ||
| Talk to us about Pennsylvania. | ||
| Yeah, Pennsylvania is at least as bad. | ||
| Surrender, capitulation. | ||
| You got the rank and file fired up. | ||
| They want to know how the heck we went into November and allowed this to happen and they expect it to be fixed. | ||
| And the official word from the PAGOP is that they will make no steps, take no action to attempt to repeal Act 77, which is what took us to no excuse mail-in voting. | ||
| They will not attempt to do it. | ||
| The official word from PAGOP is we will have to live with it and we may tinker around the edges. | ||
| So you got the rank and file ready to storm the castle and the establishment is announcing that they're going to do nothing. | ||
| I want to go back to Act 77, because this is a classic establishment making a deal. | ||
| That was where they got rid of down-ticket balloting, right? | ||
| And what they wanted to do was be able to decouple from Trump, correct? | ||
| At that time, they thought this guy could get impeached. | ||
| This is back in 19. | ||
| They thought this guy, this is, they started the impeachment process. | ||
| They had no idea where this was going to turn out. | ||
| In the fall of 19, they essentially cut Trump loose. | ||
| They wanted to break apart The trade-off that the establishment made in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was to basically give an open door to mail-in ballots. | ||
| So all the Democrats did after that, and the Democrat judges that got in their pocket, hey, I don't blame them. | ||
| It's power politics. | ||
| They were handed on a silver platter. | ||
| They go, oh, I got this. | ||
| Mail-in ballots. | ||
| And then when the CCP virus hit, boom! | ||
| Next thing you know, Trump is up. | ||
| I want everybody to embrace this, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| At 10 o'clock at night, he's up by 800,000 votes. | ||
| I was the CEO of 16. | ||
| We won by, we won by what? | ||
| 22,000 votes or 42,000 votes in Pennsylvania. | ||
| We never, that kind of lead coming out of Pennsylvania, you dream about as a Republican. | ||
| And then you saw what happened with the mail-in ballots. | ||
| So Sam, Are the grassroots getting the information up there that understand that the fix is in with the Republican establishment? | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| Are they getting the word? | ||
| They're getting the word now and they're beginning to organize. | ||
| But, you know, I think they are still grasping the scope of the betrayal, if I can use that word. | ||
| I mean, you have a let's keep in mind a Republican controlled House and Senate in Harrisburg. | ||
| We have the majority. | ||
| That bill and this legislature has been back in session for weeks. | ||
| The repeal of Act 77 should have already happened. | ||
| And in fact, it's they're not even making an attempt to do it. | ||
| They're ignoring rank and file at this point. | ||
| So yeah, people are bubbling up at the grassroots level, but that's what's got to happen. | ||
| Just from practical politics, this is what I don't get, and looking at Georgia and the 300,000 didn't show up because they said, hey, if you're going to steal elections, I'm not showing up. | ||
| I'm not ringing doorbells. | ||
| They have a Senate race in 22. | ||
| That could determine, we've got to hold Pennsylvania, or you ain't going to have a shot at taking this thing back. | ||
| You must hold Pennsylvania, given what the math looks like, right? | ||
| But we need new blood in Ohio. | ||
| In Missouri. | ||
| In Pennsylvania. | ||
| We need new blood in these places. | ||
| In South Dakota. | ||
| We need new blood. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| But you've got to hold that seat. | ||
| How do they anticipate? | ||
| How does the establishment anticipate they're going to motivate the MAGA voters, plus the grassroots, to turn out and do the hard work? | ||
| Because this is going to be as tough a fight as you've got to hold that seat in Pennsylvania. | ||
| How are they going to do it with the mail-in ballots? | ||
| Well, they're not going to do it. | ||
| They're still struggling with reality, obviously. | ||
| Toomey, who's the guy who's stepping down and won't run again in 2022 that you're talking about, U.S. | ||
| Senator, is one of the seven guys who voted to impeach Donald Trump. | ||
| Didn't just vote to hear the case, voted to impeach him. | ||
| If you're not careful, you will have a guy who is indistinguishable ideologically from Toomey step into that role. | ||
| Either that or they'll just flat out lose to the Democrats. | ||
| At this point, the establishment's plan is apparently to trot out somebody who will be just another Senator to me. | ||
| That's where we are. | ||
| By the way, they could run a moderate and you're not going to win. | ||
| You're not going to beat Fetterman. | ||
| You're not going to beat Fetterman. | ||
| That's a piece of work. | ||
| You're not going to beat Fetterman. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That's a beauty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| You're not going to beat Fetterman. | ||
| I mean, this is the reality. | ||
| I just don't get the physics of this. | ||
| Let me help you. | ||
| Let me help you coming from having to deal with the state. | ||
| All right, let me help you. | ||
| First of all, Sam's article is fantastic. | ||
| I encourage everybody to read it. | ||
| Great, great analysis, great historical piece. | ||
| But what I want to let folks know, when I was governor, I called two special sessions of the legislature. | ||
| One was to bring them back because they needed to pass a bill so I could bring jobs to Missouri to make steel. | ||
| The other one was a pro-life special session. | ||
| I had a Republican House. | ||
| I had a Republican Senate. | ||
| Who did I have to fight? | ||
| The Republicans! | ||
| On both of those! | ||
| And these were simple things. | ||
| You're talking about hundreds of steel-making jobs to Missouri. | ||
| You're talking about a solid pro-life bill that we had to get passed. | ||
| And who did we have to fight? | ||
| We had to fight the Republicans. | ||
| One of the things that I think people don't realize, I didn't realize until you get up there, but now everybody can see with their own eyes, is that for Republicans, for so many of them, unfortunately, It is not about advancing their principles. | ||
| For them, it is about being empowered. | ||
| That's what the establishment wants. | ||
| And Steve, as sad as it is to say, a lot of these state legislatures, it might be the same in Pennsylvania, they care more about going to a steak dinner with lobbyists and their Democrat friends across the aisle Then they do about picking up Republican seats. | ||
| That's what they care about. | ||
| It is not about fighting every single day for the people. | ||
| It is about connecting to lobbyists. | ||
| It is about connecting to insiders. | ||
| These are the folks who fund their campaigns. | ||
| These are the people who they socialize with and have dinner with. | ||
| Let's turn to, Sam, let's turn to your article. | ||
| Talk to us about the article. | ||
| We've got a couple minutes, but I want to bring you back after the break. | ||
| We've got about a minute and a half, so this article is amazing. | ||
| Well, the article is a reference to Tiberius Gracchus. | ||
| It's the late years of the Roman Republic. | ||
| It's a democracy. | ||
| It's under the control, however, of an oligarchy of the optimates. | ||
| In other words, the really rich people are the ones who really run the show. | ||
| And the average folks, the plebeians, are supposed to know their place, stay in line and follow the rules. | ||
| And Tiberius Gracchus comes along and effectively says, we're going to change the rules. | ||
| We're going to start fundamentally Altering the nature of this republic. | ||
| And when they can't stop him, the ruling oligarchy, when they can't dissuade him or get him out of office, they just dispense with the rules entirely and literally murder him and about 300 of his supporters. | ||
| And obviously the analogy is to exactly what is happening in Washington DC right now, which is the establishment and that's all of the establishment. | ||
| wants to kill off Donald Trump and his supporters. | ||
| They want to destroy them and it doesn't really matter how many rules they break. | ||
| Sam, hang on for one second because the story's got a second part to it. | ||
| Plus when we come back I want to introduce Our audience to one of the most remarkable women in world history. | ||
| The mother of the Gracchi. | ||
| Cornelia. | ||
| When we return, Sam Faddis with his amazing article. | ||
| We've also got Dan Schultz going to tell you how to get it done to become a precinct committeeman. | ||
| To empower yourself. | ||
| It's all about your agency. | ||
| Want to look at agency? | ||
| Look no farther than the brothers Gracchi. | ||
| Be back in the War Room in a second. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Sam, the key part of the story is that the Gracchus came from the elites of Roman society. | ||
| Their mother, Cornelia Gracchus, was the daughter of Scipio Africanus, who had been the great general that crushed the Carthaginians and basically sewed Carthage with salt. | ||
| You remember the movie Patton when he's walking out there to Carthage. | ||
| Patton thought he was a troop of the Carthaginians when Scipio Africanus came and destroyed it. | ||
| The mother's one of the most famous women in all of Rome, a super patrician, and her son's married to a heavy, super wealthy, and her son, her oldest son, who she loved, becomes a radical populist, supports the people, and here's how enthusiastic the elites were about having that happen. | ||
| They killed him, murdered him, and his 300 top followers. | ||
| That's how enthusiastic. | ||
| But ten years later, his kid brother, Gaius came up and did even a more radical program, backed by the mother. | ||
| The mother would not back off in doing this. | ||
| What happened to the younger brother? | ||
| Yeah, so Gaius takes the baton, and as you say, he's pushing the agenda even further. | ||
| We're not backing off. | ||
| I don't care that you killed my brother and 300 of his followers. | ||
| Unfortunately, he met a very similar fate. | ||
| I mean, they closed in on him, and it's, I think, a little disputed whether he committed suicide or was killed. | ||
| But he was killed and his followers hunted down and I think the famous story is, right, they said, whoever brings me his head, I'll pay for the weight in gold. | ||
| So the guy that cut off his head filled it with lead before he turned it in. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep, no, famous story. | ||
| Also, I think it's Columbus, Ohio, they have the famous statue of Cornelia Gracchus. | ||
| They asked her, she's a patrician, wealthiest woman I think in Rome, when her sons became these revolutionary populists, right? | ||
| They asked her, why do you dress so plainly? | ||
| Because she started dressing like the head populist, and she said, why don't you wear jewelry? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| You're so wealthy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| She'd be like a woman who'd go to Milan and Paris and New York to the runways. | ||
| Why do you dress so plainly? | ||
| She said, my sons are my jewels. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And it's very powerful. | ||
| You see that statue in Columbus, Ohio. | ||
| Sam Faddis. | ||
| You know how to get on the show. | ||
| This is better than even Lee Smith's 30 Tyrants. | ||
| We're going to have Lee back on. | ||
| That was amazing. | ||
| The analogies back to Republican Rome are haunting in the situation we're going through. | ||
| Not the Roman Empire. | ||
| The Roman Republic. | ||
| Sam, how do people get access to this article? | ||
| Go to andmagazine.com. | ||
| A-N-D magazine dot com. | ||
| Keep fighting, and you're at CPAC. | ||
| We're going to have you down. | ||
| You're at CPAC in one of the big panels this week. | ||
| We'll make sure we promote that. | ||
| Can I follow up to one other important point? | ||
| Just a historical point, but it's also to let all of our viewers and listeners know how important their role is in the fight, okay? | ||
| Because this isn't just about ancient history, it's about what happens today. | ||
| One of the things that happened in Rome was that slowly over time, you also had a degradation of the court system. | ||
| Why did Caesar actually cross the Rubicon? | ||
| He was given a choice. | ||
| You come home and you face a political prosecution that you know is going to be biased, or you can bring an army. | ||
| So he brought an army, right? | ||
| And when you're seeing Soros-funded prosecutors across the country refusing to enforce laws, when you're seeing people, Joe Biden's nominees, saying that they don't know if crimes are actually crimes, when you see Joe Biden signing executive orders saying that they're not going to enforce the law, What all of this does, it undermines the Republic by undermining the force of law. | ||
| If we want to stop the collapse of this Republic, you've got to get engaged. | ||
| This whole show is about your agency. | ||
| I want to bring in now Dan Schultz from the Precinct Project. | ||
| He's a West Point grad. | ||
| We've had bad news today, Dan, in Georgia, and we've had bad news in Pennsylvania. | ||
| But this is all about, and we've told people, you've got to get engaged. | ||
| This is not going to wave a magic wand. | ||
| The Republican establishment is not going to do this. | ||
| This week's the throwdown between Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. | ||
| It'll take place in CPAC, but it's going to take place on a broader national stage. | ||
| Dan, it's been amazing the audience reaction to what you've said. | ||
| I'm going to turn it over to you. | ||
| Let it rip. | ||
| Give us your presentation. | ||
| Okay Steve, this will only take a few minutes I think. | ||
| My first slide is basically, I'm glad you mentioned the problems. | ||
| It's slide 24, the quote from Plato that I very much like. | ||
| You know, one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. | ||
| Isn't that sort of Sum up where we are. | ||
| We've got Republicans, supposedly they're Republicans with majorities in these five key states and they did nothing. | ||
| They didn't do their duty. | ||
| We've got to elect better people. | ||
| And that's what the precinct committeeman strategy is all about. | ||
| So the next slide is slide number four. | ||
| And I believe things are not going to start to change for us until We have this happening at our county and local committee meetings, our Republican committee meetings, slide number four, a line out the door every month of good, decent Republican, Republicans wanting to fill up these 200,000 vacant precinct committeeman slots around the country. | ||
| Here in Arizona, two thirds of our slots are still vacant. | ||
| But we have a county, two counties, where it's at 100% strength and that's what we need. | ||
| There's 400,000 of these slots. | ||
| We need the tip of the spear MAGA people, those who think they're at the tip of the spear, to step up in another way now. | ||
| Find their local county committee and become a precinct committeeman. | ||
| It's not hard to do and I explain how to do it on my little blog. | ||
| The next slide is 26 that shows essentially where we're at with our party right now. | ||
| We've got about 400,000 of these precinct committeeman slots nationwide. | ||
| And on average in every state, half of them are vacant and it's split between the conservatives and the moderates. | ||
| And that ends up causing a lot of fake Republicans getting elected, getting past the primary election. | ||
| If we invade the party. | ||
| Show up, become precinct committeemen. | ||
| We can go into the next round with a 75% conservative majority everywhere, taking out these moderates in the next set of primary elections. | ||
| That's what we've got to get to. | ||
| It's all about participating. | ||
| You've got to participate. | ||
| Think of yourself as being the political foot soldiers, political minute men that we need today to get involved. | ||
| And if you go to the next slide, 27, just about everybody has, you know, some issue that they're keen on, whether it's the Second Amendment or, you know, taxed enough already tea partiers, the angel moms, the right-to-lifers, smart girl politics. | ||
| I think they still exist, but maybe not. | ||
| This is an older slide. | ||
| Free market people, immigration patriots, evangelical Christians. | ||
| Unite! | ||
| Take your issue into your local Republican Party committee. | ||
| Become a precinct committeeman where you live. | ||
| Get into the party and help elect better Republicans. | ||
| This is slide number five. | ||
| This is essentially the key thing that we have to do. | ||
| We have to get Out of the 74, 75 million MAGA people, we need to fill every precinct committeeman slot in our party with one of them. | ||
| You can do this. | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| This is basic American civics. | ||
| It's all covered in my little book that you can get on my blog, theprecinctproject.wordpress.com. | ||
| It's very short. | ||
| It's what I learned in seventh grade civics. | ||
| And my last slide is just my contact information slide where, you know, you can see the precinctproject.wordpress.com. | ||
| And I've got on Gab, me, we, CloudHub, a group that'll have in the title of the group Precinct Committeeman Strategy. | ||
| This is a strategy. | ||
| We've got to think strategically. | ||
| We've got to take over one of the two parties. | ||
| Our party is the Republican Party and we're not in it. | ||
| Everybody talks about this conservative base. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Well, I know where it isn't. | ||
| It's not in our party's precinct committeeman ranks. | ||
| And for those of you going to CPAC, here's what I'd like you to do if you're going to be there. | ||
| Ask everybody you run into, you know, that you meet that's new. | ||
| Ask them these kinds of questions. | ||
| Hey, um, like how many precinct committeeman slots do you have for your precinct? | ||
| Just right out of the blue, just ask him that. | ||
| See what kind of an answer you get. | ||
| Ask him, say, who's your county chairman? | ||
| Your county committee chairman. | ||
| Most of them aren't going to know what you're talking about. | ||
| Is actually, theoretically, all the power resides really from the committeemen on up. | ||
| Correct, Dan Schultz? | ||
| Yeah, if you have slide six handy, you can put that up and that shows it graphically. | ||
| Yeah, it's an upside-down pyramid. | ||
| All the power is in the precinct committeemen. | ||
| Precinct committeemen are the party. | ||
| And 6 shows what it is right now, because it's all of these vacancies and the split between moderates and real Republicans. | ||
| Slide 7, if you have that handy, shows how it changes when we fill the vacancies. | ||
| Everything turns red. | ||
| But here's the point. | ||
| Everybody in the audience, this is totally free. | ||
| You're sitting out there, you go, hey, look, I'm not feeling good. | ||
| I don't think it's going the right direction. | ||
| Remember, Divine Providence works the human agency. | ||
| This entire show is about human agency. | ||
| That's why we try to have American Principles Project and Scott Pressler's groups up here and other groups, you know, the cultural groups and other groups you can join and become part of. | ||
| No money of your own. | ||
| Later, if you want to make a donation, that's your decision. | ||
| But you can get on here and get engaged. | ||
| Right now, you're saying, I'm just a Schmendrick. | ||
| I've got no power. | ||
| I'm just drifting. | ||
| I got nothing. | ||
| That doesn't have to be it. | ||
| This empowers you and empowers you in a big way. | ||
| You become part of something that actually, the structure of it is predicated to be down. | ||
| Now, here's the reason there's 400,000 uh... billets and there's two hundred thousand empty they ain't advertising their empty the last thing they want is you i want everybody in this audience to understand the last thing they want is you a knowledgeable empowered populist with a point of view and an attitude That's what they don't want. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| You're a pain in the ass, okay? | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| And what Dan Schultz, the brains of Dan Schultz, is saying, hey, it's all sitting there. | ||
| You don't need to create a third party. | ||
| A third party costs you a billion dollars. | ||
| You'll fight forever. | ||
| And the structure of the way the system works, you just ain't gonna get there. | ||
| Maybe decades from there, but you're not gonna get there now. | ||
| But you've got a party that's essentially open to be taken on. | ||
| If you don't like Mitch McConnell, if you don't like the stat, if you don't like what you've heard about in Georgia, If you don't like what we hear about in Pennsylvania, here's one way you do. | ||
| What Dan Schultz says is, hey, why don't you actually join the Republican Party? | ||
| And that's not hitting them with a donation. | ||
| You do that later. | ||
| Not going out and working in a precinct. | ||
| That's all great. | ||
| It's getting into the room. | ||
| You want to be in the room where the decisions are made? | ||
| You start getting in that room by becoming a precinct committeeman. | ||
| I want everybody I want everybody to hit this website this week to get Schultz's email. | ||
| This guy is a patriot. | ||
| West Point graduate has dedicated his life to the service of his country and this will be the biggest mark he leaves because he's transforming the way people think. | ||
| I want to go once again. | ||
| If you think you have no power, right? | ||
| I'm not going to say, we're not sending you a bunch of Ginju knives here or anything. | ||
| This is very simple. | ||
| Put up or shut up. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Now is your time to be empowered. | ||
| Go to his site. | ||
| Find out where it is in your district. | ||
| And by the way, in some places we know already, they're not going to welcome you with open arms. | ||
| They're going to say, this is terrific. | ||
| Don't try to make it sound complicated. | ||
| Well, you need to do this and you need to do that because this actually matters. | ||
| We can talk. | ||
| This matters. | ||
| They're going to say, man, this is great. | ||
| Some Trump folks wandering in here. | ||
| They've got attitude. | ||
| They want to have some decision-making. | ||
| How lovely. | ||
| Sign right here. | ||
| No. | ||
| Sometimes you're going to get chop-locked, okay? | ||
| But we know you've got the grit and determination. | ||
| Dan, can you just stay over? | ||
| Every day we're going to try to get living examples of people that have made that transition. | ||
| And here's the other thing. | ||
| It's transforming their lives, because now their energy is channeled into a way to make positive change. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Here's why you've got to get involved, you've got to become a precinct committeeman. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, what's happening on Capitol Hill right now? | ||
| Well, we're getting reports, and of course, you know, we're live right now, so we're not really able to watch it ourselves in real time, but we've got the engine room of the War Room watching this for us, and some of our friends, Jack Posobiec is live tweeting it, and so forth, and what we're hearing is that the Republicans are, as usual, underprepared, underprepared and pretty weak. | ||
| In their lines of questioning. | ||
| Now, Senator Ron Johnson, I believe, is attempting to turn the ship around on this one, going into more detail. | ||
| But as yet, no Josh Hawley yet, so hopefully he will bring the heat. | ||
| And Ron Johnson, as I say, attempting to do a turnaround on this one. | ||
| But the other Republicans on the thing, I mean, Roy Blunt apparently awful, awful, attacking Sund rather than trying to get actual data and stories out of him on the day, which is what will set us free on this thing. | ||
| Gritens, how's this happening from Missouri? | ||
| How's that happening that Blunt is sitting there? | ||
| And by the way, he was on the stage with Joe Biden, right? | ||
| He's up there criticizing President Trump, said President Trump should have come to Joe Biden's inauguration, said he didn't want to hear anything from President Trump after January 6th. | ||
| He's just... | ||
| I want to say something. | ||
| It's an embarrassment to the hard-working people out in Missouri. | ||
| I think President Trump won by 14 points, was it, in 2012? | ||
| Well, in 2016, he won by 20 points. | ||
| And Roy Blunt, who was on the ticket with him at the time, barely won. | ||
| He won by a couple of points. | ||
| First off, he dragged Roy Blunt across. | ||
| Roy Blunt was down that weekend beforehand. | ||
| He dragged Roy Blunt across. | ||
| Okay, I want to go now to an American patriot, Joe Chesney, from Kernville, California. | ||
| You've now become a precinct committee member. | ||
| Can you tell us what your experience has been like, Joe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's definitely been... | |
| Very interesting. | ||
| And every week that goes by, it seems to be a little bit more busier, you know, Dan Schultz is sending people to me for the state of California. | ||
| I got all the GOP websites to where to go to in the, in the state where I'm sending people to go. | ||
| Well, believe it or not, you know, there's a lot of people that have been calling from Kern County and I just been populating the precinct positions here in Kern County. | ||
| So, tell us how you found out about this, and tell us about getting to the Dan Shultz site, and let the audience know, was the process easy? | ||
| Did you try to get thwarted? | ||
| Was there any kind of difficulty? | ||
| We've got about two minutes, just walk through what your process was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, that first one, February 6th, Shultz got on there, I heard what he had to say, and I immediately called the GOP office, they said I had a slot available. | |
| You know, I became a precinct captain because pretty much all the positions in Kern County are available. | ||
| So I've been feeling it. | ||
| Well, real quickly, you're behind enemy lines there in California, but the recall is really changing things. | ||
| And we've been, you know, we're going to have recall Tom Del Beccario back on here. | ||
| They're doing great work. | ||
| What are the two or three things that you guys are going to try to focus on out there in Kern County to try to turn this ship around? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the only thing that we can really do at the moment is field precinct captain positions. | |
| And pretty much the recall is already going on. | ||
| It's kind of like out of our hands or my hands, I can only control what I have, what's right around me. | ||
| I focus on Kern Valley. | ||
| I have 28 positions to fill. | ||
| I got several of them filled already. | ||
| I've actually been on the Epic Times last week. | ||
| I made national news on their newspaper and one of my precinct captains that were on the fence. | ||
| He gets the Epoch Times and he saw it and he called me and he said, Joe, I'm going to be a precinct captain. | ||
| So I got a precinct captain in Lake Isabella and he's going to field the other three and it's kind of like steamrolling. | ||
| Brother, thank you very much. | ||
| Joe Chesney from out in Kern County, California. | ||
| He got motivated by Dan Schultz. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Dan, just one more time. | ||
| How do people get to you and when they get to your site what tell us how to quickly navigate it so they can actually get to you the man Looks like we might have dropped in Look, Steve, I want to pick up on this and let you know why this is so important. | ||
| So first of all, if you're listening right now and you're on the fence, you're thinking about doing this, do it. | ||
| Get out there, pick up this information, and go out and get involved in your community. | ||
| And I can tell you, just like you heard this story, one person does it and then other people are willing to step up. | ||
| And why is this so important? | ||
| Because if you control your local Republican committee, Then, that's who the state reps look to. | ||
| That's who the state senators look to. | ||
| You're going to be running your Lincoln Days for your county. | ||
| This is really, really important. | ||
| You've got to get involved. | ||
| Do we have Dan Schultz back? | ||
| Dan, real quickly, how do people get to you? | ||
| How do they get to the project? | ||
| People are raving about this online in the hashtag, We're in Pandemic. | ||
| How do people get to your site, once again, and then how do they get to you? | ||
| Theprecinctproject.wordpress.com. | ||
| That's where you go. | ||
| Theprecinctproject.wordpress.com. | ||
| And then I've got state-specific information off on the right. | ||
| You can scroll down to it. | ||
| Anytime I find anything good for a state, I put it there. | ||
| And if you're doing it on a smartphone, you've got to scroll all the way down and click on View Full Site. | ||
| I don't recommend doing it that way. | ||
| Go to a computer, a laptop, and get to the site there. | ||
| If you run into any trouble, you need help, my email address that I use for this is acoldwarrior at gmail.com. | ||
| acoldwarrior at gmail.com. | ||
| Yeah, engage me. | ||
| I'll try to respond. | ||
| I'm pretty much caught up now and I'll help you any way I can. | ||
| So thank you. We want 100,000 people this week to hit that site. 100,000. Dan, thank you very much. | ||
| I think Dan's just doing a remarkable job, as you say, helping everyone he can. We need to help him though as well. So maybe I'll reach out to him, get him off Gmail for a start, Dan. We've got to get you onto something a bit more secure like ProtonMap or something. Maybe we can help you with the site infrastructure as well. Because so many people are telling me they're going to it. | ||
| Why don't you have him on that super hot podcast you have? | ||
| We'll study it. | ||
| We'll do it. | ||
| We'll do it in the next week or so. | ||
| So what's on the podcast today? | ||
| Just me today. | ||
| We're going to go through some of these buried stories and the reports coming out of the Senate today. | ||
| This is an embarrassment. | ||
| Blunt not just dropped the ball, he's carrying water for the Biden administration. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| This guy, his sell-by date is gone. | ||
| He's got to retire. | ||
| Gritens. | ||
| Yeah, look, I mean, this is a guy who's come out and, like I said, he was standing right there with Joe Biden at the inauguration, criticizing President Trump that very day, saying that Trump needed to be there, that Trump should have been there. | ||
| And, you know, he's working for lobbyists instead of fighting for the people of Missouri. | ||
| Outrageous. | ||
| Okay, we'll be back at 5. | ||
| We're going to have Mike Lindell. | ||
| Mike Lindell, just to inform you, hasn't been served yet by Dominion. | ||
| I mean, God, they're going to assume for a billion and three they think they serve the guy. | ||
| He's there and ready. | ||
| He's going to be coming in hot and spicy today at 5 o'clock. | ||
| Also, Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| It's going to be a show you're not going to want to miss. | ||
| Mike Lindell, live at 5 o'clock, talking about the Dominion lawsuit and also talking about some other plans for the future. | ||
| This guy's not backing down at all. | ||
| Not backing down one inch. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Eric Greitens, thank you very much. | ||
| Okay, Raheem's show will be up later. |
