Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
Health officials are investigating more than 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, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
This is for a group leader. | ||
And you and the leadership, especially Congresswoman Cheney, do you believe President Trump should be speaking or former President Trump should be speaking at CPAC this weekend? | ||
Yes, he should. | ||
Congresswoman Cheney? | ||
That's up to CPAC. | ||
I've been clear in my views about President Trump and the extent to which following January 6th, I don't believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party or the country. | ||
I know. | ||
I don't think that's particularly funny. | ||
Okay, you're live from the nation's occupied nation's capitals. | ||
Day 49 of the occupation. | ||
If we can get our graphic up there. | ||
49th day. | ||
Absolute disgrace. | ||
And this goes to McCarthy, it goes to Mitch McConnell, even our beloved Jim Jordan. | ||
Where is the firestorm of why this stuff... We just want to see the information, we just want to see the intelligence of why we look like Kabul. | ||
You're in the War Room, Thursday, 25th of February, year of our Lord, 2021. | ||
Man, 2021 is ripping through here. | ||
We are honored in our pre-kickoff to CPAC to have one of the big speakers down there, Congressman Matt Gaetz. | ||
Cutting now with over closing on 38 million downloads on the podcast, and by the way, our Saturday one hour special on Christianity being the real target, the real target of the secular left, I think is the biggest show we've ever had, closing in on over 450,000 downloads. | ||
There's going to be more of that this Saturday. | ||
We're going to do a CPAC, but we're also going to come back to that very topic of transhumanism. | ||
Okay, we've got Matt Gaetz in studio. | ||
I don't want to put you on the spot, but here's what's not acceptable. | ||
It's not acceptable for Kevin McCarthy to go down to Mar-a-Lago to try to have some rapprochement and to have McCarthy, she sit up there, Cheney sit up there. | ||
And so, not just disrespect for President Trump, but contempt for President Trump in front of the jackals of the left-wing media. | ||
And him just to make some, not to turn around and correct or say, not play a part in the Republican Party going forward. | ||
He is the Republican Party. | ||
He is the leader of this movement. | ||
He's the leader of the Republican Party. | ||
Not even to say that, but then to make some wisecrack joke. | ||
He is gutless, and he takes all this credit for 2020. | ||
That was all on the shoulders of Donald J. Trump. | ||
McCarthy is the pledged chairman. | ||
He's the pledged chairman to the fraternity. | ||
I hate to put you on the spot, because I know you're going to have to defend him. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
And you're the firebrand. | ||
I'm not going to defend him. | ||
I watched that little vaudeville routine that they had running with Cheney. | ||
You know, you had like Steve Scalise in the background as kind of the mute, you know, shaking his head no. | ||
This is not organic. | ||
This was not just some spontaneous moment. | ||
This is what the Republican leadership believes is a winning, unifying, base-expanding strategy to showcase the elements of our movement that, like the President, And to also showcase the people who have this bitter contempt for the former president. | ||
And I am not here for that. | ||
I believe that we should embrace the enthusiasm and values and policies and style of the 45th President of the United States to get back to the business of winning. | ||
And I think that what they don't get Is how demoralizing that scene is to the people who actually have to go out and win these elections for us. | ||
You know, the people who knock the doors, make the phone calls, give that $10 donation every month to the candidates that they believe in. | ||
And when they see that crap, it is hard to get inspired for a resurgence of the Republican Party. | ||
Look, you come from and represent one of the most patriotic districts in this country. | ||
In a patriotic country, you represent one of the most patriotic districts. | ||
You know, it's got Pensacola Naval Air Station down there. | ||
So many great veterans, patriots, active duty personnel. | ||
But your philosophy, which is the America First philosophy, is that it's peace through strength. | ||
We're going to confront, like the Chinese Communist Party, we're going to confront our enemies and the enemies of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
We're going to have allies, and we're a nation-state, we're going to have allies like in India and around the South China Sea. | ||
You're over just sending out our blood and treasure throughout the world just to be frittered away in these causes like in the Middle East where we're 19, 20 years into this thing. | ||
See, here's my point. | ||
So Romney says I'm, you know, my little wing of the party. | ||
There's just no, you can't, you can have a big tent when you have something coherent to tie you together. | ||
Their policies on the economics shipped all the jobs overseas. | ||
They were just as bad as the Democrats. | ||
Shipped the jobs overseas. | ||
In addition, the total deregulation and tax cuts over and again pampered the globalist corporations. | ||
They're the most woke thing ever. | ||
The tech, big tech oligarchs, and you're the reason, and I got to tell you, this is why Gates is such a firebrand. | ||
This is why he's a problem. | ||
This is why they don't like him over there. | ||
Doesn't take PAC money. | ||
Let's be honest, one of the reasons, and even down at CPAC, there's not a fire-breathing thing on the social media oligarchs, is they're spreading money all over town. | ||
And you know that. | ||
One of the reasons you can stand up to them is you don't take their money. | ||
Don't need it, don't want it, and this is one of the most telling moments about the decision praxis that the Republican Party is at right now. | ||
These Fortune 100 companies have all held back their PAC money. | ||
So we all get on a call with the NRCC chairman, and the message to the rank-and-file Republican membership is, don't worry, they'll come back. | ||
We just have to love them more, and eventually they'll realize that they belong with us. | ||
unidentified
|
And it was like straight up... Who are we talking about here? | |
You know, Disney, Google, these Fortune 100 companies that aren't giving money to Republicans right now. | ||
They cut them all off during the wokeness. | ||
I think the audience needs to know the names of these companies, right, because time and AT&T, it's Pfizer, it's the Fortune 100, market caps over 50 billion dollars. | ||
And why is the Republican Party dependent on that anyway? | ||
So instead of having like the view of an abused spouse where it's like you know what we've been abused but it's probably our fault and we just need to love them more and maybe they'll come back around Like, what we should say is, don't let the door hit you on the way out. | ||
We don't need your money. | ||
If the Democratic Party wants to become the party of corporate America, we'll take the working women and men of this country and we'll have, I think, a lot more popular support. | ||
But it's interesting that that's like the psychology of it. | ||
It was always country club Republicans that were About big business. | ||
What has been the shift and that Trump really did is to change this into a working class and middle class party of workers. | ||
That's the fundamental difference. | ||
Cheney still represents the corporate interest. | ||
McCarthy and these guys represent the corporate interest, the donor class. | ||
And you had a shift and I just don't know when you get down to policy, When you start talking policy to bring manufacturing jobs back, when you start talking about confronting China, when you start talking about America First national security policies, when you basically start talking about the policies of Donald Trump that are winning us working class Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley that have now 12% of African American males that are voting for us, and you see the realignment. | ||
We are on the cusp Brian Kennedy's going to be on here in the second hour from Claremont. | ||
His analysis is that, hey, when he does it, and this guy's as straight as it goes, he says, hey, when you look at it, 2020 was a realignment election. | ||
When you look at how they stole it, it was a realignment election for the Republicans being the working class party. | ||
He's convinced that Trump got 80 million votes, right? | ||
My point is that you've seen this realignment. | ||
That's why the CPAC is so important, with John Ferguson and Boris and others. | ||
It's so important because now... Doesn't it scare the, like, neo-libertarian, corporatist, like, center-right people? | ||
unidentified
|
To death! | |
To death! | ||
That's what I think that people don't really get, is that there is an infrastructure around the Republican establishment, and their home base is the eight square miles of Washington, D.C. | ||
That's why we push everything out. | ||
That's why we go out in the country, right? | ||
But here, they really do have a home field advantage, and it's why two-thirds of Republicans voted for that display you just saw, where there is both an embrace and a trashing of the former president, and I just don't think that that's a beat that the country's going to dance to. | ||
How does McCarthy think he can get away with that without defending? | ||
It's so blatant. | ||
Kevin McCarthy is not enduring this. | ||
Kevin McCarthy created this. | ||
Kevin McCarthy stood up at the beginning, at the end of our last conference meeting, and begged the conference to keep Liz Cheney. | ||
So don't buy, like, the, you know, oh gosh, Kevin just kind of looked blindsided at that. | ||
That is all part of the act. | ||
That's the Kabuki theater. | ||
Let's bring in John Fredericks live from CPAC. | ||
So John, we've got Gates the firebrain here. | ||
By the way, your speech is when? | ||
My speech is at the coveted 1.40 p.m. | ||
time slot on Friday. | ||
That's a great, that's a hype. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
Friday afternoon, afternoon is always the, that's when they send the hitters in. | ||
Got to look at that C-SPAC schedule. | ||
That's my Bloody Mary time. | ||
John, do we have you? | ||
John Fredericks from C-SPAC. | ||
I think Matt gets speaking time. | ||
I think that's the number one time in all of CPAC and everybody that's come. | ||
Everybody that's come here, Congressman Getz, the first thing they said is to us, hey, do you have a schedule? | ||
When is Matt Getz speaking? | ||
So we said 1.45. | ||
Of course, you can come on our show, 6 to 10 a.m. | ||
or 4 to 5 p.m. | ||
on both days. | ||
We're also here on Saturday. | ||
This is now a booking show. | ||
You could join me in Reem's Clubhouse. | ||
Hey, we have an ironclad rule. | ||
No pitching in the War Room. | ||
He's not pitching a guy. | ||
Booking gates here. | ||
was that i was there was that before or after mike lindell del sold a million pillows on a show the other day with that i don't know michael and i don't know how long would steve bannon and john fredericks is responsible for our losses in georgia rather than the crappy candidates being responsible for losses in georgia i saw the but john that's what i want to ask you were targeted by name in these uh... in these promotional materials uh... trying to reclaim republicanism by by purging the populists How do you think that dynamic is going to play out at CPAC? | ||
Because let's be honest, there's a whole lot of corporate America that gets represented at CPAC and they like having a little bit of control over the message and the messengers. | ||
And do you think that we'll see some eruptions that show us who the populists are and who the establishment swamp creatures are? | ||
You know, money can't buy you love, Matt. | ||
It can't buy you a sponsorship. | ||
So what you have right now at CPAC is this is the Populist Convention. | ||
And so they got their signs and they got their banners and they're funding Matt Schlapp's organization. | ||
Good for them. | ||
I want to take their money and then take it. | ||
And boomeranging on them to get our message out. | ||
This thing is filled with popular state. | ||
This is the movement. | ||
We have the voters. | ||
We have the speed. | ||
All they have is money and donors and corporate sponsors. | ||
So, you're one of the featured speakers. | ||
Governor DeSantis, one of the best governors ever in the history of the Republic. | ||
He's going to lead things off at 9 a.m. | ||
tomorrow. | ||
You come to Florida, Matt, you know this. | ||
And Steve, it's like a different country. | ||
People are happy because they live here. | ||
And this is a fabulous place to have seats. | ||
This place is packed, Congressman. | ||
You can't get in here. | ||
Everything is sold out. | ||
It's the biggest event they've ever had in Orlando. | ||
And I have to commend the job they've done. | ||
Well, it's all spread out. | ||
Everybody is here that's always here. | ||
And you can't get a ticket to the Reagan dinner. | ||
At first, President Trump's speech at 3.30 on Sunday, I thought it was a bad idea. | ||
It's getaway day. | ||
Now, here's what happened. | ||
Everybody's staying on Sunday. | ||
They get an extra night at the hotel. | ||
And this place is absolutely going to be bedlam for that, Congressman. | ||
And Steve? | ||
We are going to hear a number of people who want to run for president in 2024 give speeches. | ||
Who are you most looking forward to? | ||
And how do you think people who want to marshal this movement will treat President Trump? | ||
Is it going to be a universal embrace? | ||
Are we going to hear kind of the Nikki Haley-esque, you know, well there are parts we have to love and parts we have to move past? | ||
Look, nobody cares what Nikki Haley has to say in this movement or in the Republican Party right now. | ||
In fact, she's not even going to win her home state of South Carolina. | ||
Somebody name me a primary that Nikki Haley is actually going to win in 2024. | ||
Iowa? | ||
No. | ||
New Hampshire? | ||
No. | ||
South Carolina? | ||
No. | ||
Virginia? | ||
No. | ||
Texas? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Who wins South Carolina in 2024? | ||
Make the prediction. | ||
Put it down. | ||
She's not going to win a single state. | ||
No, she's not going to win South Carolina, but we'll have that bet. | ||
She's not going to win a single thing. | ||
Nobody cares about Nikki Haley. | ||
What does Nikki Haley represent? | ||
She represents what Liz Cheney said, you reap what you sow. | ||
She has zero voters. | ||
That's all she represents. | ||
What? | ||
The Lincoln Project? | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
These people don't even have an agenda. | ||
We have a movement. | ||
We have an agenda. | ||
We have the voters. | ||
And I'm telling you, this speech at 3.30 by President Trump at CPAC, this thing is going to be packed. | ||
There's so much enthusiasm. | ||
I'm shocked at the level of enthusiasm here in Orlando from our movement after three hours. | ||
John, hang on right there. | ||
I know you are. | ||
This is good. | ||
By the way, we're winning. | ||
We're winning, though. | ||
The Biden thing, we've stopped it in its tracks. | ||
You can see where the lines of attacks are. | ||
That's why people should be jacked up, and they're jacked up because we've got truth-tellers like you that are going to go down there. | ||
You've got a primetime spot. | ||
That's normally where they put presidential candidates, just saying. | ||
Okay, short break. | ||
We're going to turn with the Congressman Firebrand from Florida in a second. | ||
unidentified
|
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
War Room Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, we're sitting here in studio before he takes off with Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is going to be one of the primetime speakers, 1 o'clock, which is always a slot, I gotta tell you, I'm just saying, that was always a slot given for the, in the years I used to go, you know, years ago, it was always given to the presidential hopefuls. | ||
All the presidential hopefuls want that post-lunch snooze time. | ||
time. | ||
No, because it's really... | ||
unidentified
|
Actually they do, nobody pays attention to what they're saying. | |
I want to bring in Frederickson in a second, but I saw that they're having, why are they even having a poll? | ||
Trump's the presumptive nominee. | ||
This thing, I don't even know why we have the unity coming out of there is that, hey, this is it's focused right now on 2022, right? | ||
Stopping the Biden administration across the border in these radical policies like women's sports, the vaccination debacle, you know, open borders, closed schools, right? | ||
This is what we got from Biden. | ||
And not just that, it's the sleepiest. | ||
You look at the dynamism of Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
And all you got is Sleepy Joe. | ||
They're leaning into Sleepy Joe. | ||
Sleepy Joe is the governing strategy now. | ||
It's not a nickname. | ||
So Ron Klain can be the Prime Minister. | ||
Wake up late and go to bed early. | ||
But you know who doesn't like it? | ||
unidentified
|
TV. | |
That's why they're all over Tiger Woods. | ||
They know Trump and CNN's got a huge story today about the Trump comeback. | ||
Trump rates. | ||
Biden doesn't rate. | ||
Because they monitor by segment. | ||
He doesn't rate. | ||
It's a snoozefest. | ||
Fred, do you want to bring it back? | ||
I just have to say as well, the straw poll is tradition, and so it will be now the, I think, 25th year in a row that Ron Paul will win. | ||
Are there still 10,000 college kids there? | ||
Gage needs to be one of those. | ||
Okay, John Frederick, so why are people fired up? | ||
You know, we thought, we were told by the media that everybody's in bed and they're curled up in the fetal position, they're sucking their thumbs. | ||
You know, we've been banging people from day one. | ||
Let's get to the ramparts. | ||
Our audience is. | ||
But why is the entire CPAC crowd down there? | ||
Why are they fired up? | ||
Action, action, action. | ||
I tell you the best thing about this CPAC and the enthusiasm here is 10x what I thought it would be coming in. | ||
I gotta be honest with you. | ||
In Florida, I thought a lot of people couldn't make it. | ||
It's the exact opposite. | ||
But here's the beauty. | ||
Congressman Matt Goetz and Stephen Rahim, what is happening here is the populists have taken CPAC over at the grassroots level. | ||
And so, this is a beautiful thing, Matt. | ||
We're using their CPAC corporate money to spread our message. | ||
I mean, you just can't get better than this. | ||
We're taking their money, their Chamber of Commerce money, all these sponsors, to spread our message. | ||
I mean, you can't have a better trifecta of events. | ||
Not only are we here, have we taken CPAC over, but we're doing it with their money! | ||
It's a beautiful thing, Steve. | ||
John, are you worried that before the end of the conference your booth will be taken down? | ||
Exactly. | ||
Like this afternoon. | ||
The John Frederick Show. | ||
We got off the internet. | ||
It's going to be placed with like an alphabet logo. | ||
Matt, nobody loves sponsors more than I do. | ||
That's my whole business. | ||
That is true. | ||
But I tell you the other thing. | ||
They called us out. | ||
unidentified
|
They called us out in Georgia by name. | |
They said that Steve Bannon and I and the populist are the one that cost the senators the election. | ||
And you know why they were so mad? | ||
It's because we committed the sin. | ||
of going to Georgia and actually talking to Georgia voters. | ||
And it was like, how dare you talk to our voters? | ||
Yeah, they only... So does Herschel Walker get in that race? | ||
We're dying to have Herschel Walker. | ||
Right. | ||
I mean, we blew up. | ||
We blew up. | ||
We blew up Purdue. | ||
We blew up Purdue in the first five days. | ||
Boom, gone. | ||
All the emails that we got. | ||
Congressman, I don't think so. | ||
We need better candidates in 2022. | ||
Need Herschel. | ||
Just across the board. | ||
You talk, Steve, about the need for this focus on 2022, but it has to be a focus on getting messengers that are worthy of President Trump's message, because what we learned in the midterms is without Trump on the ballot, it is a very different electorate. | ||
That's why, to me, he's got to be on the ballot. | ||
I want him to be the Speaker of the House to impeach Biden and throw out Pelosi. | ||
We're gonna get there. | ||
2022, he's gonna be the head of that ticket. | ||
But you gotta get people like Hershel Walker. | ||
Here's the key thing, by the way. | ||
To show you our commitment, John Fredericks, number one, we're gonna be doing programming all over the weekend. | ||
Real America's Voice, we're gonna be doing a special with John Fredericks at 2 o'clock. | ||
to 3.30 pregame on the President's speech, then coming back to do a postgame wrap-up. | ||
We're also going to be doing other... we've got all the Real America's Voice team down there, led by Tudor Dixon. We're going to have Tudor on the entire team, Amanda Hurd, the entire Real America's Voice team. Johnson, we're going to be doing... | ||
and on Monday, the ninth anniversary of the death of the great Andrew Breitbart. | ||
We're very honored to be launching the new channel with John Fredericks in Atlanta, Georgia, that brings populism, nationalism, and the Trump message and the Trump movement to the heart of Georgia. | ||
And John, I'm so proud of how aggressive you've been. | ||
We've got other announcements, too. | ||
We're rolling up and down the South as we start to roll out other channels on this, John. | ||
So talk about what's going to happen on March 1st, and I hope you're promoting that down at CPAC. | ||
You know, big time. | ||
Talk radio is the last bastion of protected free speech in America. | ||
That's why we're investing heavily in it. | ||
We're continuing to expand our new station in Metro Atlanta. | ||
We'll launch on Monday, WMLB, Freedom AM 1690. | ||
That'll be able to reach five and a half million homes in Metro Atlanta. | ||
It's got a tremendous signal. | ||
We go online March 1st. | ||
Also, the Doug Collins Show. | ||
Which we have syndicated. | ||
That starts on Monday from 3 to 4 p.m. | ||
daily, so we're looking forward to that. | ||
Doug Collins Show? | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I hope you're not panned by the word. | ||
It's Talk Radio Perfected. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's not, it's not gonna be guest or college. | ||
Doug is a brilliant man, but Doug is a waterfall of words. | ||
unidentified
|
Big time, but that's what we think would be perfect. | |
He told me he could do in an hour what everybody else needs three hours to do. | ||
We'll see how that goes. | ||
But look, we're going to continue to grow from there, and it's only because of our donors and our sponsors that make this possible. | ||
You buy one of these stations, we have to take on a tremendous amount of debt. | ||
But look, check us out. | ||
Go to johnfredericksradio.com. | ||
There's a donate button there. | ||
You can help us out. | ||
We have to buy tons of equipment. | ||
But we're online March 1st in Atlanta. | ||
After that, we're going to continue to Spant. | ||
Wherever we can get the Steve Bannon Show, you have to be successful. | ||
War Room, it's not Steve Bannon. | ||
As long as we've got War Room and Bannon, you're going to be successful. | ||
Okay, fantastic. | ||
We're going to start every day with you down at CPAC to get a feel for what's going on from Radio Row. | ||
Okay, John Fredericks, thank you very much. | ||
We'll be pushing hard and we're going to have the Real America's Voice team down starting this afternoon. | ||
Amanda Heard and Tudor Dixon are going to be leading the coverage. | ||
Amanda Head is going to be leading the coverage down there. | ||
We're going to have both of them on today. | ||
Also Boris Epstein. | ||
I think we're trying to get Corey Stewart in here to talk about this AT&T. | ||
CNN's parent company playing footsie with the Chinese Communist Party and lying about it. | ||
Spinning Tucker Carlson last night, I think after Tucker finished beating him up with some false information. | ||
We're going to get to the bottom of it. | ||
We're going to have one of the guys from the Commerce Department and the Trump Administration come in studio and lay out exactly what happened. | ||
We had an amazing moment regarding the Chinese Communist Party and the Armed Services Committee this week. | ||
You know, Mike Gallagher asked one of the witnesses from the American Enterprise Institute about the partnerships between Oracle and the Chinese Communist Party and AEI. | ||
This guy went off, I think Kellogg was his name, and he went off on These U.S. | ||
companies that go over there and establish AI centers, R&D centers in China, and they just totally leave America's back door open to the Chinese Communist Party's manipulation and theft and exploitation of our ideas and our people. | ||
Increasingly, supply chain resiliency in the defense space is something we're going to have to look at, because these airframes and these ships They're really software packages that are just, you know, wrapped in additional capabilities. | ||
And when that is degraded from a security standpoint, we lose the country. | ||
Big time. | ||
And I want to talk, while we're on that topic, we're going to have some polling at the bottom of the hour from Rasmussen. | ||
This is exclusive polling to the War Room from Rasmussen through the good offices of, I think, Jack Posobiec got that to us. | ||
So we're going to talk about China, specifically what Rasmussen's finding out. | ||
Oh no, you just created something now. | ||
I can see his Twitter handle changing later today. | ||
unidentified
|
The Office of Jack Pasovic. | |
Pasovic's such a unique individual. | ||
Did I say that he added to the bingo, he speaks Mandarin? | ||
Oh that's right, that's the special edition. | ||
The Jim Banks, I gotta ask you about this, the Jim Banks effort, Republican Study Committee effort, Uh, to have, remember, so you're not a majority, you had to do this on your own about China. | ||
Here's what I didn't like about, I do like the fact that you try to pull it all together in one thing. | ||
What I didn't like, I thought it pulled punches. | ||
It seemed to me... Totally. | ||
Okay, it seemed to me that the corporate hand Had laid on the scale and said let's put something out. | ||
It was a little bit like, Jim Banks a good guy, naval supply officer, good man, but I felt a specter in back of it because it didn't talk about any of the capital markets stuff. | ||
It didn't talk about what you're talking about. | ||
There's so much you've got to go after the CCP about. | ||
Technology, intellectual property, but really capital markets, finance, all of it that you could shut down. | ||
We still have the commanding heights. | ||
Now, we're not going to have her forever, we have the commanding heights. | ||
But that report, given all the promise of it, when I read it I go, come on, this can't be it. | ||
Yeah, I give it sort of a B- as a diagnosis and maybe a C- as an action plan. | ||
I love Congressman Banks, think he's a great guy, but the Chimerica dream is alive and well in the Beltway of Washington, here in the swamp. | ||
They still believe that if we draw the Chinese Communist Party closer, that somehow that's going to make them more like us, when the reality is when we draw the Chinese Communist Party closer, we become more vulnerable. | ||
And I think that that realization has to be set out in far starker terms. | ||
Look, like I said, you represent Pensacola Naval Air Station, the great patriots down You're one of the top guys, actually, that understands the defense budget, because it's enormously complicated. | ||
And you understand from the technology aspect, all of that. | ||
I want to ask you about that. | ||
Are we now, because you have information warfare, you have economic warfare, and kinetic, but in the defense budget it should wrap it all together. | ||
We've got a talent problem, and I know we're tight on time here, but the greatest minds in America used to have as their principal constituency the Department of Defense because that's where all the money came from. | ||
But now the greatest minds in America are working on likes and shares and video views more than they are working on solving the next problems with hypersonics and laser and radar and that has allowed the Chinese Communist Party to close the capability divide because their best and brightest minds are working toward their strategic objective. | ||
Okay, short commercial break. | ||
We're going to come back and talk about all this with the firebrand Congressman Matt Gaetz. | ||

|
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. | ||
What happens is that to make a nation rich, you need a free market system. | ||
And if you have a free market system that's trying to get rich in the way recommended by Adam Smith, what happens is that it's a very irritating system because the poverty that causes so much misery is also causing the growth that makes everybody get out of poverty. | ||
In other words, to some extent, it's a self-correcting system. | ||
And that makes the whole thing very awkward. | ||
And it's a shame that the economics textbooks don't emphasize how much a growing economy needs poverty in order to get out of poverty. | ||
And if you try and reduce the poverty too much, it's counterproductive. | ||
And these are very difficult questions, and most people assume that it's simple. | ||
If we could Make the world richer by just raising the minimum wage to $100,000 a second or something. | ||
Of course we would do it, but we can't. | ||
Be declassified. | ||
Almost the last couple of weeks in office. | ||
And in that declassified China strategy that the President Trump signed himself, it specifically says we should cooperate in areas where it's in our interest to do so. | ||
So it's pretty extreme these days. | ||
It's what they call a super hawk. | ||
I think Steve Bannon is proud of being a super hawk. | ||
He says we have to close our embassy, pull out all of our companies, break off all economic contact with China. | ||
This is like Hitler's regime or even worse. | ||
So I'm not with that group of super hawks. | ||
I think that we've got to be tough. | ||
And I think that's what the president was doing with great success. | ||
Well, OK, I agree with you, OK? | ||
I totally agree with you. | ||
I was in all those meetings right up until the end. | ||
unidentified
|
Be tough. | |
That's what the tariffs were all about. | ||
Be tough. | ||
You know, we have to blast them over the Wuhan virus and the human rights violations and what they did in Hong Kong, which is unpardonable. | ||
But, but that's different than total disengagement. | ||
That's what I hear you saying, Mike Pillsbury, and I think that's a very important point you're making. | ||
I hope others listen to you. | ||
Very helpful. | ||
Really helpful to me, personally. | ||
Larry, give me a break. | ||
Come on. | ||
Hong Kong, everything, across the board, you didn't support any of it. | ||
That's where it all got backpedaled. | ||
The President's instincts are absolutely correct. | ||
We're in a confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party, okay? | ||
Absolute confrontation. | ||
And we have to confront them. | ||
We have to confront them. | ||
It's unrestricted warfare. | ||
on information warfare, cyber warfare, economic warfare, and hopefully avoid the kinetic conflict that's coming our way if we don't do that. | ||
So right there you saw the weakness double talk of Larry Kudlow. | ||
So please, take us in Larry, anytime you want to talk about this publicly, well just let's throw down and just go for it. | ||
A complete, the entire time, every time Navarro and the hawks, Pompeo, want to put forward, you weren't in back of anything on standing up in Hong Kong. | ||
Hong Kong, we should have shut down the convertibility of the Hong Kong dollar. | ||
We should have sanctioned Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, all the big financial institutes, and then sanctioned the head guys. | ||
Hey Larry, no offense, I didn't see your name mentioned in the sanctions. | ||
If you had been Mr. Tough Guy, how come you weren't named in the sanctions? | ||
Four minutes into the Biden administration, Pompeo, Pottinger, National Security Council, Peter Navarro, and yours truly, Stephen K. Bannon, which I think is the only civilian they've ever sanctioned as a country and as a political party. | ||
So I don't want to hear you double-talk, and I do appreciate Dr. Pillsbury. | ||
Dr. Pillsbury's where he's always been. | ||
Dr. Pillsbury is a hawk, but he's not a super-hawk. | ||
He's for this kind of gradual, you know, confront him where you have to, work with him where you should. | ||
Here's the problem. | ||
In the Biden thing, we're going to be super-competitors. | ||
That's all just going to fall onto the serfs that are the deplorables. | ||
This is nonsense. | ||
You don't see any super competition in access to our capital markets. | ||
You don't see anything on technology. | ||
They're the ones that said when they walked away from the deal that President Trump had in May of 2019, they said that we're decoupling technologically. | ||
We're going to have our own standards. | ||
It was the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
That's their plan. | ||
It couldn't be clearer. | ||
And if we had this muddle-thinking and gobbledygook double-talk from guys like Larry Kudlow, you're just gonna sleepwalk into a bigger confrontation. | ||
A bigger confrontation. | ||
So yes, I'm proud to be a Superhawk. | ||
I'm proud to be the leader of the anti-CCP part of this movement. | ||
Okay? | ||
This is why we have such a... This is why the show's in Mandarin. | ||
You think the show's in Mandarin? | ||
Because the diaspora, the Chinese people, don't want it? | ||
Or we blow through the firewall and they don't want it? | ||
It's Lao-Beijing that's enslaved Mr. Kudlow. | ||
You didn't stand up on Hong Kong. | ||
You haven't stood up for the Tibetan Buddhists. | ||
You didn't stand up for the organ harvesting. | ||
The entire time you were back doing all the tough policies of Pompeo and Pottinger and Navarro. | ||
In that surprise, they got sanctioned. | ||
And your name's not on that list. | ||
Why is that, sir? | ||
Mr. Matt Gaetz. | ||
What is the part of engagement with the Chinese Communist Party that they're for? | ||
Because I'm trying to delineate the hawk from the super hawk from the Chimerica dream here. | ||
And when you're in these meetings, you know, in the Oval Office with the key economic team and strategy teams, what is it they say is the benefit to everyday Americans with just a little more engagement? | ||
Oh, they say because you can buy things cheaper, you know, the cost of goods are cheaper, that we need this company to make more money. | ||
So why pay an American for a job that a Chinese Uyghur chained to a sewing machine can do? | ||
And Lao Bajing, I think, you know, Xi had this one-hour speech the other day, how proud he is to raise the last hundred million out of dire poverty. | ||
This has been one of Xi's targets. | ||
A buck sixty-nine a day. | ||
$1.69 a day. | ||
They are slaves over there. | ||
It's their slavery by the state-owned industries that drives the deflationary pressure and no wage increases for the rest of the, particularly the Western world. | ||
This is why you're nothing more than Russian serfs, and this is why millennials, you're not going to family formations later, you're not going to own anything. | ||
As interest rates stay around zero. | ||
You and I are right here, the gray-haired millennials, you're saying that. | ||
No, no. | ||
Millennials have got to rise up and say, hey, and you saw Charlie Munger, by the way, the opening drivel was from Charlie Munger. | ||
That's Warren Buffett. | ||
That's really the guy Buffett turns to to really get the deals done. | ||
Warren Buffett, the most anti-competitive guy in human history. | ||
Bill Gates' partner, right? | ||
Totally anti-competitive. | ||
You saw what he did in the financial crisis. | ||
He's coming in trying to cut deals to himself in 2008. | ||
Warren Buffett, that whole oracle of, you know, Omaha, and I'm going to go down and get a hamburger and a drink of Coke. | ||
No. | ||
He's in back of Obama. | ||
This guy's a bad hombre, right? | ||
Charlie Munger's one of his senior deal guys. | ||
He's 90-some years old. | ||
And you see there, this whole concept. | ||
Poverty's good and bigger poverty. | ||
Hey, and Charlie Munger and Buffett are two of the open border guys. | ||
We don't need a $15 minimum wage. | ||
Secure the borders. | ||
Stop all this and even legal immigration. | ||
Wages are going to go up. | ||
Wages going up are a good thing in the populist movement. | ||
$15 minimum wage that I could vote for. | ||
That might be a little news, but I mean, if you had a $15 minimum wage that exempted internships, seasonal work, some like, you know, entry-level stuff, and it was paired with a no-BS E-Verify, where you had a 100% legal workforce, I'm here for it. | ||
Would Democrats vote for that? | ||
This is why Gates is a leader in this populist movement. | ||
Because yes, and this is why there's a realignment, there has to be new thinking. | ||
You don't need Charlie Munger to lecture you on Adam Smith. | ||
The two most anti-competitive, anti-free market guys in the world, every deal they want is anti-competitive, right? | ||
Warren Buffett, that's why, Warren Buffett's tied into the political system. | ||
There's no Obama if Buffett doesn't get in back of him. | ||
Why can't we get some of the Woketopians on our side to go against the Chinese Communist Party on issues like the environment? | ||
to do globally, Warren Buffett's his partner. | ||
Why can't we get some of the Woketopians on our side to go against the Chinese Communist Party on issues like the environment? | ||
I have an unpopular view in the Republican Party. | ||
I believe that these cheap products that come in from China that enslave people in their making, that pollute our environment in their production, should face a China import tax. | ||
Why should you be able to pollute the skies in Shanghai and then buy the penthouses in Manhattan? | ||
Yeah, everybody wants to complain about ocean plastics. | ||
Like 90% of the world's ocean plastics come out of 10 rivers and 7 of them are in Asia. | ||
And so you're telling me that it's okay for us to abandon the moral obligation to make those smart choices? | ||
I would tax the hell out of Chinese products coming into this country that were made with environmental standards that aren't up to our standards. | ||
Not one guy has asked, not one part of the mainstream media has asked, the new national security czar for climate, right, because it's a national security problem, that's our biggest national security problem, not the CCP but the climate, climate change, has asked John Kerry, remember when Pelosi kicked off, and we started the show in October of 2019 because of the impeachment, Pelosi was up in New York City, or she was down here, Kerry's up in New York City, the President's up there talking to the UN, and she comes to the microphone and says, hey, we're going to impeach this guy off the phone call, right? | ||
That's what he said, hey, get to the ramparts, this is happening. | ||
Okay, John Kerry was up there, and John Kerry actually gave a press conference, said, what are you doing here? | ||
He says, I'm here to talk to people today, unless we get real commitments to standards, real commitments to accountability, in the Paris Accord, the Trump guys are going to be right, it's going to go away. | ||
Because you had the Gilets Jaunes, remember the Gilets Jaunes, yellow vest, The deplorables of France are burning down Paris. | ||
Why? | ||
Because the tax is on them to pay for the Chinese Communist Party elite that are in business with the guys in Brussels. | ||
Okay? | ||
They put a diesel tax. | ||
So Kerry sits there and goes, if we don't get it, what's he there for? | ||
He's there to talk to the CCP in a kowtow. | ||
You've got to do it. | ||
You know what they tell him? | ||
Eh, I don't think so. | ||
The whole Paris Accord. | ||
All this is a racket. | ||
It is a racket. | ||
If you're serious about cleaning up the environment, Gates and Bannon open for business. | ||
But let's have a real conversation about it. | ||
Not this phony, we're back in Paris. | ||
Paris is the worst thing that happened. | ||
It's giving the Chinese, and actually India, but more China, a complete free ride. | ||
They're building, the other day, and here's the thing about the Chinese Communist Party, and you feckless hacks up on Capitol Hill, and in this administration. | ||
And, I don't say Larry Kudlow, he's not a feckless hack, he's actually a good man. | ||
We just totally disagree about this. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
They're building more coal-fired plants in China today than all of Europe has right now. | ||
We're restricting ourselves, and we actually do the clean coal and the scrubbing and all that. | ||
We're restricting ourselves, right, from building more capacity. | ||
It's one of the reasons you have the Texas situation, right? | ||
We're all for renewables, as long as you can do it in some way that it's always going to be there for you. | ||
Right? | ||
But you've got to go with what you've got now. | ||
Obviously, let's have super high environmental standards. | ||
Not what's going on in China. | ||
They're just dumping it out there. | ||
And in the Paris Accord, they can! | ||
And guess who it's underwritten by? | ||
They're deplorables. | ||
Your tax dollars. | ||
Gillet Jean, the yellow vest, finally had a belly full of it. | ||
That first week of December of 2019, Macron and those guys thought it was over. | ||
Remember, they got so nervous when they took to the streets, and hey, because of a diesel tax on gasoline for the little guy out in the hinterland. | ||
Just very quickly, I mean, the Gilets Jaunes protest, not just that first week, but the months and months of it. | ||
I mean, honestly, it made January the 6th look like a total nothing. | ||
I mean, I'm not saying people like France, but these guys are serious and relentless. | ||
The French know how to do revolution. | ||
You go down in the heart of Paris, there are places burned out, remember they put the barricades up? | ||
They even have a word for it! | ||
unidentified
|
The coup! | |
See, this is the point. | ||
If you get down to really populism and economic nationalism, you talk about real solutions, securing the borders, really secure it, having internal enforcement, wages are going to rise. | ||
Then if you want to talk 15 bucks, hey, we're open to it, right? | ||
I want Americans to make more money. | ||
The reason wages are depressed is because the big corporations in this nation want to have people come across the borders illegally that they can exploit. | ||
The striver's economy that Cortez talks about, that President Trump included, was not just the lowest historical unemployment, but wages went up 11%. | ||
Remember, in the Wall Street Journal, the worst headline they can put up there, wages increase! | ||
unidentified
|
Right? | |
Because the stocks are going to get, they don't look at that as a good thing, they look at it as a great thing. | ||
And now they're taking that wall money and they're repurposing it to welcome centers on the border, and the whole caravan thing is getting kicked back up again. | ||
These cartels are in business, they're going to be degrading national borders, and it's going to be a real crisis. | ||
Okay, we've got a lot to go through. | ||
We're going to have Matt Palumbo from the Bongino Report, a fabulous young editor, but his book is on fire. | ||
Better to be lucky than good. | ||
Alright, I must say, Matt Palumbo called this shot about Cuomo. | ||
Now, Cuomo is into the middle of it, all of it, right? | ||
He's got a Me Too problem, he's got all kinds of problems. | ||
We return. | ||
We're on Pandemic. | ||
unidentified
|
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. | ||
Close the border and open the schools. | ||
And by the way, I'm a restrictionist. | ||
Completely, 100% stop illegal alien immigration in this country. | ||
It must be stopped. | ||
Enforcement must be, because this is going to help working class people across the boards. | ||
And also with the millennials. | ||
The legal immigration part has got to be very restricted, or we're not going to get young African-Americans or Hispanics from the STEM programs, which he turned all the schools over to, To the great universities and then the Silicon Valley to participate in the fourth industrial revolution. | ||
This is not that complicated. | ||
This is not astrophysics. | ||
It's pretty straightforward. | ||
But listen, all of these guys are running dogs for these globalist corporations that want unlimited cheap labor. | ||
That's what they want. | ||
So I know someone in the live chat, their daughter's got a master's degree, she's making $22,000 bucks now. | ||
That's going to happen, that's what the Millennials, the Millennials are going to be the tip when they finally wake up to the economic reality of what the globalist corporations, the Democratic Party, the far left have done to them, right? | ||
That is when they become part of the Great Awakening, boom! | ||
That's when you're going to see massive things change, okay? | ||
I want to bring in now Matt Palumbo from the fantastic Bongino Report. | ||
So Matt, your book, and we'll get you on first and we'll put the cover up, with Dumb and Dumber, you did a comparison of Cuomo and de Blasio because you were so triggered by what happened last spring as you were ahead of it saying, hey, I'm looking at the policies, I'm watching pandemic, I'm doing all this and I'm not buying what these two guys are doing and being sold by the media. | ||
Now, and I say it's serendipity, but you're right, Cuomo is in a crisis of really his political career now with so many other aspects coming together. | ||
Walk us through what's happening and how do people get access to the book. | ||
Right, so the book, we can just search anywhere. | ||
I mean, Amazon's the main site to get it, but I understand a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, so I think Barnes & Noble will have it, even Walmart, Target, you know, any place that sells books, really. | ||
You know, what we're seeing now happening is really just a culmination of what's been happening since last March. | ||
You know, anyone who's focused the data has really known everything that's coming out now. | ||
There was an AG report last month that estimated nursing home deaths were undercounted by about 50%. | ||
But researchers actually way back in August had already figured out that that was probably the extent of undercounting. | ||
And it's now that an AG report is reporting on it, the media can't ignore it. | ||
But that being said, for as much attention as Cuomo is getting for this nursing home scandal, You know, the sexual harassment scandal I'm sure we'll talk about. | ||
It's probably still less coverage, those two stories combined, than Ted Cruz got for going to Cancun. | ||
So, you know, it is nice to see it covered, but it's not getting covered that extensively. | ||
And, you know, certainly Chris Cuomo on CNN is not covering any of it. | ||
Well, Matt, it's interesting that you say that because I actually checked, you mentioned that in the break to us about the Cruise Cancun story and I actually checked on Google Trends and I believe we can even get the graph up from Google Trends if we can get Denver to put that up. | ||
It shows you the difference between how much coverage the Cruise Cancun story got and the Governor Cuomo story got. | ||
I don't know if we've got the graphic we can put up here. | ||
But look, they're going to browbeat Ted Cruz all day long, right, on Cancun? | ||
If we got that in Denver, we should show it. | ||
If not, there we go right there. | ||
Walk people through it, Raheem, particularly the podcast writers. | ||
Oh, I mean, you can see this. | ||
So Google Trends is a system that allows you to put in different search terms and cross-reference them with one another. | ||
And you can see right there the spike in the Cruz-Cancun story. | ||
Absolutely massive coverage behind that. | ||
But you look at the Cuomo nursing home story. | ||
It's absolutely nothing. | ||
At best, a trickle of news stories over the last sort of 90 days. | ||
So it's the sexual harassment. | ||
Now he's got, what, former aides coming forward and saying, hey, this guy was inappropriate. | ||
He was kissing me. | ||
He was talking about playing strip poker. | ||
It's all types of stuff. | ||
It's not making the evening newscast. | ||
But Matt, do you think this is now going to start to drive the nursing home? | ||
People are going to look at the whole package of this guy and say, hey, why do we give him an Emmy? | ||
Why do we make his book a bestseller? | ||
Yeah, I'm hoping that, you know, one of these many scandals he has blows up to the extent where people kind of finally look at the whole package and go, oh, you know, we've been had this whole time. | ||
I mean, there's only, I think, two that he can face legal consequences for. | ||
One, for the sexual harassment, which is probably the best bet. | ||
You know, the second would be the cover-up of the nursing home scandal, where the cover-up becomes the crime. | ||
But, you know, the problem with that is whether or not there will be consequences is contingent on the Biden-DOJ doing the right thing. | ||
You know, obviously, there's not really much hope for that. | ||
Walk us through, what else is Bongino, what are you guys covering? | ||
When people want to go to your site, what is Matt Palumbo saying, hey, this is the most important news, this is what you ought to be focused on? | ||
So the next few days in particular we'll be doing a lot of CPAC coverage, like I just put up a headline story about what to look for, but throughout the day and the next few days we'll be covering anything interesting there. | ||
I think the most interesting story this morning was about, or just short of three dozen Democrats sent a letter to Biden. | ||
and they're trying to strip him of his sole nuclear authority. | ||
Now the question of course is what do they know that we don't? | ||
There was a lot of show trials in which Trump, yet not once except near the end with Pelosi, did they try to strip him of that authority. | ||
Yet now they're doing it over Biden. | ||
So the most simple explanation would be, A, the guy is a lot more senile than we were told, or B, and I think you were hinting at this during the break, that it could be an anticipation of another Trump presidency. | ||
I remember after the election, Pelosi was trying to, or he might remember better than me, there were some weird things she was pushing for, where you could remove someone from office for not being fully there mentally, and I was thinking, well, this is after the election, do you think Trump actually won? | ||
And I'm going, oh wait, no, it's for Biden. | ||
And it could be this is the same thing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
What do you think about this, Congressman Gates? | ||
I do not believe that we should subject the nuclear deterrent to committee meetings. | ||
I believe that the nation needs a commander-in-chief, and there are many aspects of our government that we've designed to purposefully work slowly, and I don't believe a response in a nuclear situation should be one of those. | ||
So Matt, what else on the Bongina Report today? | ||
Let's see. | ||
Well, we've won, actually, Tucker. | ||
It was actually about Tucker's monologue last night about how Biden is probably substantially undercounting the number of illegals in the country. | ||
You know, the estimate we hear is 11 million, and that's what he's pitching us for his amnesty plan. | ||
Is the Gino report not covering the Raheem Kassam Twitter banning? | ||
Yeah, what the heck? | ||
Raheem, after this segment... Below the weather. | ||
They got some high school sports they're covering before they cover this. | ||
Get some more traffic. | ||
It's not even the lead story in the National Poll, so don't start... That's also true. | ||
So don't lie, don't lie, don't lie. | ||
Here's the thing, isn't that the thing? | ||
That's the point. | ||
That's the point. | ||
They've made it so routine now that it's not even worth covering anymore. | ||
That's what I thought when I saw it. | ||
I was like, oh, Rahim got banned again. | ||
unidentified
|
Again. | |
So hold on, one more time. | ||
How do people get... They don't want to go to Amazon, Matt. | ||
How do they get the book? | ||
Um, my Twitter bio, I have it all, I got actually a link that has like, that'll bring you to a page with maybe like a dozen other links you can buy it. | ||
Um, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target, anywhere that sells books really will have it. | ||
Give us your social media, what's your coordinates, what's your social media coordinates? | ||
Uh, Twitter's MattPalumbo12, Parler's MPalumbo12, and those are the main two I'm on currently. | ||
He's got it after his... that's his mental age. | ||
A must-read book and a great site, Dan Bogino and Matt Palumbo. | ||
The guys are at the Palumbo Report. | ||
The Bongino Report. | ||
Okay, we're going to take a quick break. |
