Speaker Time Text

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.
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.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room, Pandemic.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
OK, welcome to Occupy.
That's a little harsh there, Denver.
It's just kind of bringing it in easy.
OK, we're live in the occupied capital of Washington, D.C., second hour of War Room Pandemic, 49 days of occupation with now what, 5,000, 7,000?
How come, Congressman Gates, Is McCarthy demanding to see the intelligence of why we have this embarrassment, this humiliation with razor wire, five to seven thousand combat troops, particularly given the fiasco the other day of all the information that came out in the hearing, all the information that came out that President Trump ordered the National Guard to be there the day before, all the conflicting, I mean to sit there, and this is why the media, as Rahim Ghassan pointed out, it's why it's not on loop.
on CNN is because there was so much conflicting information that came out there.
Why do we have these troops today?
And who in the Republican Party is banging on doors over there saying, just show us the intelligence?
If there's a reason for us to be in occupied capital, With this massive fence.
They don't want a wall on the border, but they got one around the nation's capital.
And they got the razor wire and the combat troops.
Posoba comes out of One America the other night.
I think he got 500,000 downloads on his thing.
He puts the camera up.
They're asking for his papers.
He just walks out during the night shift at One America.
Comes out.
Right there, as we were doing the Mike Lindell special a couple days before, you walk out, you're right next, you've got to kind of work your way around the One America building.
They've got, you know, 25 National Guard guys, up-armored, with weapons, and they're yelling at Pessoa because he said, hey, show us your papers, an American citizen.
So what's going on here?
matt gaetz
This is the new forever war.
You know, if we pull troops out of this capital, it'll be the first capital we've pulled troops out of in a while.
You know, I mean, the situation we have here is one of punishment, not one of rational response to a real threat.
Now, I can't talk about the intelligence specifically.
What I can tell you is we have received intelligence briefings, and my perspective, based on what I've seen, is that the ongoing occupation of Washington, D.C.
is not justified by the threat level.
There's always a threat level in Washington, D.C.
steve bannon
I see chatter.
matt gaetz
Then you have to ask the question of why.
So there's one incentive path that is the money.
I mean, it's half a billion dollars we've spent here.
Somebody's providing these guardsmen and women toilet paper, meals, lodging.
I wonder how much Halliburton has made on this.
I just wonder, right?
So there's kind of that vector.
steve bannon
Can one of the producers call over to the Cheney's office and ask what the dad's making on this?
matt gaetz
So the other vector is, I think the Democrats want to show a country that is diminished and on its knees, not a country that is strong and powerful and resilient and worthy of a spirited nationalist support.
The whole deal is, they're locking us in our homes, they're opening the borders, and then they're portraying to young people An image of America that is radically different because they don't think that much of America in the first place and so they want us to be willing to replace her.
Think about all the like 8th grade, high school, elementary school trips that America's students take to the capital over the course of a year and when they go back to their towns and cities all over this great country they talk about the greatness of America, our beautiful capital.
Now we are a capital city wrapped in barbed wire and crisscrossed in barricades And, you know, it is just a very different representation of the beauty and splendor of the greatest nation that's ever existed.
steve bannon
So, Brian Kennedy, I want to bring Brian Kennedy in now, one of the great thinkers in our movement.
Is Congressman Gates correct, Brian?
Is this what the Democrats are trying to do?
Show a broken, impoverished, scared America?
And if so, what do you think the President has to do, this tone at CPAC this weekend?
What does Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States, what does he have to do to turn this around?
unidentified
Well, Congressman Gates is absolutely right.
This seems to me more like a psychological operation against the American people.
Donald Trump was a bad man, and so we have to punish him and his supporters and anybody who might come to Washington and complain about the lockdown or cozying up to China or anything else.
So that seems to me more like why this continues to be locked down.
Um, and the Congressman is, is really one of the, the leaders intellectually of our movement.
And so thank you.
Let me thank him on air here for all that he does for this country.
Um, at CPAC, the president needs to, seems to me, explain to MAGA world, the MAGA movement, what happened.
He was the president of the United States of America.
He had the power of the government.
You know, behind him.
And after the election, he knew all the fraud was coming.
After the election, he didn't deal with the fraud.
He believed there was fraud, and yet he himself did not deal with it.
I think much of the MAGA movement today is demoralized.
It's disoriented.
It's confused.
They need an after-action report from their president, who they love, who I love, who I know you love, on what happened.
steve bannon
Yeah, I want to start with the process.
Number one, because you're one of the smartest guys out there and you were out in these states working on this thing.
What do you think happened on November, on the actual election itself?
Do you make the case that Trump actually won?
unidentified
Well, I think Trump not only won the election in the Electoral College, I think he won the popular vote too.
And the only way you could ever get at that, however, is by actually counting all the paper ballots.
Forget the machines, forget all that kind of stuff.
If there really was the kind of populist nationalist movement that embraced President Trump, which it looks like it did all over the country, that's what drove people to the polls.
It was Donald Trump and that MAGA movement.
I think the President got over 80 million votes.
I think now President Biden got less than 70 million votes.
steve bannon
So, I'm going to have you back, because I don't have time to go through the math, but I want to do this.
You're saying if you look at the Rio Grande Valley, if you look at L.A., if you look at the Bronx where he's getting these record numbers of Hispanic votes, right?
South Florida, coupled with the African American votes in the populist nationalist movement and traditional Republicans, you're arguing over $80 million.
That's a realignment.
That's a realignment.
That's the 1932 type realignment election, correct?
unidentified
Right, so not only was this election stolen, but a realigning election was stolen.
Which is really remarkable.
matt gaetz
So Brian, what's your response to those who say, yes, they concede that Trump had these gains with immigrants, with minority communities, but there was a degradation in President Trump's share of the older white vote.
Do you buy that?
And if not, what's the evidence?
unidentified
Don't buy it at all.
I think the evidence will come out and the evidence will be found in places like Georgia, in places like, you know, Arizona.
Look, the older white vote, the older white vote who had been locked down and who had seen the violence in America's big cities on their televisions night after night, Did they really decide, hmm, this is, Donald Trump is a problem.
We better vote for Joe Biden.
Historically, that's not how an older white vote would respond.
It would tend to vote for the law and order candidate who was clearly Donald Trump.
So I don't buy some of these other analyses.
steve bannon
Look, what happens... And you don't buy with the mail-in ballots and all that, that they were so scared of the COVID situation and didn't feel... they felt at first in March he was on top of it, but maybe not as on top of it later, and we got these mail-in ballots that you can't, you know, they're not certifiable, that he lost the older vote there, at least in the way they counted them?
unidentified
Well, maybe in the way they counted them, but no, I don't think they did.
Look, in the kind of circumstance we find ourselves today, even with COVID, you tend to go with a more, you know, one, you tend not to, we're in a war, you tend not to switch horses in the middle of a war, as it were, and you were going to go for the law and order candidate.
For most old people, they had handled Those who are still alive, who hadn't been killed off by Governor Cuomo.
Those people, those people had figured out how to deal with COVID.
They weren't scared about COVID.
You know, the older Americans, they had figured it out more or less.
And they've still figured it out more or less.
You made a point the other day, Steve, about experience.
The older Americans had experience.
They had experience with the flu of 1968 and the flu of 1957.
They knew what a bad flu was really all about.
And even if COVID-19 or the China virus is worse, they knew how to deal with it.
I don't believe because of all that they decided, hmm, we better vote for Joe Biden.
Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing.
matt gaetz
The election integrity effort ahead.
In the Congress, we face Democrat majorities that are going to try to pass H.R.
1, which institutionalizes and wraps in sort of legal legitimacy a lot of these mechanisms of fraud.
Answer me this, where should the MAGA movement go to build election integrity?
Is this a state-based system?
Is this like Eric Holder did, going and getting Secretaries of State and Supervisors of Election and Attorneys General and DAs elected?
Is it a legal endeavor?
Is it a voter registration and harvesting endeavor?
Give us the path.
unidentified
I think it's a citizen endeavor.
I mean, Steve is head on the show here.
The gentleman from Arizona who's talking about precinct committee.
steve bannon
Dan Schultz.
Dan Schultz, absolutely.
unidentified
That's how to do this.
I mean, the only thing that's really going to work are paper ballots cast by human beings in person, counted by human beings, with other human beings watching them the way we used to.
That has to be done at the precinct level.
We have to get that movement going state by state here in this country.
We have to lock down those red states.
matt gaetz
That's a massive undertaking.
steve bannon
It's a massive undertaking.
matt gaetz
But you know, at the precinct, we've got tens of thousands.
steve bannon
We're trying to fill 200,000 billets.
We've had 140,000 people in 10 days.
Not totally sign up, but go and get the information.
I think we've got 25,000 signed up already.
We're going to fill all those billets.
We're going to fill all the 400,000.
not totally sign up but go and get the information. I think we've got 25,000 signed up already. We're going to fill all those billets.
We're going to fill all the 400,000 and fill all 200,000. It's got to be the state level too.
We just had a big victory in Georgia.
We've had some defeats.
But Brian Kenney knows, he was out in Arizona.
Look, these state legislatures, they wouldn't even send the subpoenas to arrest the guys in Maricopa County.
At the last second, a rhino flipped and voted for the Democrats.
It's going to be a tough effort.
It's not going to be easy.
But, if we don't show that we're on top of this election integrity, 20% of the MAGA is not going to show up.
They're just going to say, hey, look, if these elections are going to be stolen, I'm not ringing doorbells, I'm not knocking on doors.
This is what Georgia is about.
The right thing, the 300,000 guys that didn't show up at MAGA, they said, hey, you're not, Perdue and Lafley, you're not stepping up for Trump.
I'm not seeing the commitment.
Plus, you haven't dealt with the Stacey Abrams situation with the consent decree.
You never mentioned it.
matt gaetz
Well, let's not pretend it's not a delicate balance, because while there is a sense of grievance, and while there are structural issues that we have to fix if we ever want to win again, every election always has to be about the future.
And we do have to ensure that there's not such a myopic focus on this.
Oh, come on, Steve, you've got to lift people up and give them a vision for the future.
You were the big believer in economic nationalism.
steve bannon
Yes, but to ground it into the reality of their lives today.
The typical Republican happy talk, we're going to have tax cuts and deregulation, all this stuff, it's all going to be better tomorrow.
What's going to make it better?
This is why I don't want to give up on November 3rd.
November 3rd is the beating heart of the crisis, and I think that's what Kennedy's talking about.
President Trump, you think, needs to address These issues from November 3rd, on his speech at CPAC on Sunday afternoon, as part of it, to also talk about the future.
matt gaetz
In a forward-looking way, though.
steve bannon
Forward-looking, definitely.
You're not fighting yesterday's battles, but you've got to address those.
Brian, on Sunday, we've got about a minute, what does Trump, in your mind, have to focus that speech on?
unidentified
I think he does have to explain to his people what it is that happened on November 3rd.
I mean, I agree with Congressman Gates, you have to look forward, but if you don't explain what happened on November 3rd and what the president was thinking between November 3rd and January 20th, if Maga World doesn't understand what he thinks, if he just talks about the border wall and nationalism, economic nationalism, well, he's done that already.
They gave him the power of the federal government to do something with it.
He did a brilliant job, but when it came to re-election, he didn't get that finished.
He relied on advisors who didn't have him close the deal.
They want to know why, frankly, because why would they trust the government to him again?
I'll trust Matt Gaetz.
Matt Gaetz has a forward-looking vision.
If the president can't explain it, I want someone who can.
steve bannon
Okay, we're gonna we're gonna pop we're gonna get your social media up on the other side Thank you very much, Brian Kennedy from Claremont County.
Bingo!
You got it?
I got it!
It's a quick break, we'll be back 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.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got the firebrand in the house.
That is Matt Gaetz.
We're going to put the cover of his book up here a little bit later.
Go and get Gaetz's book.
It's a must-read.
Firebrand.
He's a guy standing tall.
He's going to be at CPAC at, what, 1.30 on Friday main stage, giving his talk.
Now we've got so much.
We've got Dr. Levine.
Dr. Levine is actually being grilled by Rand Paul.
We're going to get to that in a second.
We've got John Solomon coming on the bottom of the hour.
He's got huge breaking news at, guess what, the Russian investigation.
They were targeting Dr. Peter Navarro.
So Justin News has got a great report.
We're going to get to that.
We've got Dan Schultz about the Committeemen Project, all the progress he's making there.
And then some witnesses, some testimony, personal testimony of people that have taken...
Remember, this whole show is about your human agency.
We're here to empower you.
This is not passive listening.
We want active, engaged listening.
The talk radio guys that do it are fabulous.
The Rush Limbaugh model is amazing, and Rush Limbaugh is the man, right?
And we honor his legacy and his work.
We're something different.
What we do, and that's why this show's not for everybody, but this is about your personal empowerment, personal agency.
We put up everything free that you can join groups, you can get more information.
Look, right now if you think I'm a total schmendrick, I have no power, you follow Dan Shultz's advice, you register and go sign up to be a precinct committeeman, all of a sudden you're empowered.
400,000 billets, 200,000 are not filled.
Well, 200,000 were not filled until Dan Schultz came on here.
Now we have tens of thousands of filled.
We're going to have more and take all 200,000.
I want to put up our friends at the Rasmussen Report through the good offices of Jack Posobiec.
Did I say Jack Posobiec speaks perfect Mandarin as a Naval Intelligence Officer?
Got to put this up.
This is the main event.
Right now, the American people, and look at this poll that the Rastman has just given us a War Room exclusive to break this because we're the super hawks, right?
69% say China is an economic threat.
All this happy talk, we're going to compete, we're going to be super competitors, that came from Schmitz.
I did this conference.
That Andrew Ross Sorkin put on, that Tom Friedman chaired, and it was like ten of us, and the New York Times had a huge spread the next day.
I'm in my combat green jacket, and I'm saying, we're at war with these guys.
And Schmidt's next to me, he's saying, no, no, no, we just got to compete.
I said, it's all nonsense.
It's not competition.
We can out-compete them any day of the week.
But we're playing with one hand or two hands tied behind our back.
Sixty-nine percent of the American people see them as an economic threat to America and to America's way of life.
Sixty-three percent says the U.S.
government ignores China's abuses because of economics.
The abuses of Lao Baijing.
Remember, the most important story in the first half of the 21st century is the Chinese people getting their own freedom.
We're just here to assist, right?
We're here to assist.
It's the Chinese people who are going to do this.
That is the biggest story of the first half of the 21st century.
As I keep saying now, the suppressor, remember what Xi, the Sun, the Sun newspaper, excuse me, the Express newspaper on Sunday in England had that great story that Xi doesn't fear Wall Street, he doesn't fear the American corporations, he doesn't fear Brussels, EU, he certainly doesn't fear the United States or the United States military.
What he fears is the 300 million Underground evangelical Christians and Catholics in China.
He fears Christianity.
Xi.
These are smart, they're very smart guys.
They understand the Taiping Rebellion, biggest civil war in world history, driven at the beginning by evangelical, the prairie fire that started back before the American Civil War in China, in Canton, of guess what?
the preaching of the word of the living god that caught on with the chinese labai jing back then and it was a periphery they all went and it didn't do it three years later they're taking in king the imperial the imperial uh... capital they understand the power the power of the word of christ the chinese people And Xi, who's as tough as they come, as smart as they come, he understands.
His threat's not the American military right now.
It's not the feckless Biden administration.
It's not the corrupt Wall Street or the global corporations.
It's not Brussels.
It's not NATO.
It's not the city of London, the Wall Street of Europe.
It's none of that.
It's not the tech oligarchs.
They're all in bed.
They're all in bed with these guys, right?
And as he consolidates the Eurasian landmass with Pakistan, and Turkey, and Iran, his junior partner.
They're a junior partner, fully financed by the Chinese.
When President Trump, as President-elect, went down and saw Obama, that day he comes back, he says, hey, the guy that sits there and lectures, and on and on.
Number one threat was North Korea.
I go, are you kidding me?
North Korea is a vassal state.
Remember, he's taking the train up there with his little notepad.
She's telling him what to do.
Write this down.
Write this down.
Nothing but a vassal state.
Got nuclear weapons to keep us on our back foot and to terrorize Japan, our ally.
Okay?
We can avoid a kinetic war.
You can avoid a kinetic war.
Look at this poll.
The American people are becoming woke with all the mainstream media.
And AT&T, we're going to have Corey Stewart in here, who is, what, Undersecretary of Commerce.
They're spinning.
Tucker did a good job last night, but AT&T comes around and then lies.
And look, I have a great affinity for that.
My dad, my grandfather, 50 years of the phone company.
My father, 50 years of the phone company.
I think the only father-son combo in phone company history, 50-50.
Right?
Where I was raised, the phone company family.
AT&T is in business with the Chinese Communist Party, and the Barker Channel, you've gotten back at me, that I've rubbed in your nose every day for a reason, to let you see the information warfare, CNN, owned by AT&T, is a running dog of the Chinese Communist Party.
Where are all the stories about the organ harvesting?
Where are all the stories about the suppression of the House of the Evangelical Christians?
Where are the stories about the Uyghurs?
Why aren't they being hammered?
Why is the Associated Press that's got to stand up the spokesman for the State Department?
Brace him up!
The Associated Press, not exactly the War Room, not exactly the Bongina Report, not exactly just the news, bracing these guys up on the lies and misrepresentations coming out of this administration.
And it's all of it.
It's Wall Street, it's the corporations.
CNN, have they reported at all about AT&T's effort to make sure China Telecom is not on an entities list?
That would be incorrect.
Who do you think the guy doing all the telecommunications to the concentration camps, and that's what they are, Mike Pompeo called it, that's genocide.
Oh, by the way, where are our allies in the Gulf?
Where are the Persian Gulf, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, all you guys whining and moaning every time there's something about, you know, the radical jihad, you know, boom, boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
Where are you about the Uyghurs?
Persia, where are you about the Uyghurs?
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where are you about the Uyghurs?
Don't sit here and talk to me about all the aspects of going after Islam, which nobody's doing.
They're going after radical Jihad.
But where are you?
You've got concentration camps.
Are these people being killed just like the Nazis?
And where are you?
Party of Davos?
She gives his big speech last week.
You're all kowtowing.
We are on the right side of history.
History is going to judge this.
You're going to be weighed and measured.
And trust me, Pillsbury called me a super hawk.
I wear that as a badge of honor.
I wear the sanctions as a badge of honor.
You don't think we know what's going on in China?
And guess what?
The corporations know, and AT&T knows.
You don't think they know about the organ harvesting?
You don't think they know about the Falun Gong?
You don't think they know about Hong Kong?
Across the board?
And yes, what did Pillsbury say?
Oh, Bannon says they're like the Nazis in 1936, because they are like the Nazis in 1936.
We haven't stood up to them, Mr. Larry Kudlow, in Hong Kong, when we should have sanctioned the banks.
We should have sanctioned Hong Kong's Shanghai Bank.
We should have broken the convertibility of the Hong Kong dollar.
How do you think history is going to judge us?
Lao-Bai Jing knows.
Why do they take this broadcast and put it in Mandarin and then take the time to blow through the firewall?
Why do we have a huge audience in China?
Because we do the job that the voice of America should do.
That corrupt organization, and Michael Pack tried to go in there and make some changes.
Oh my gosh, CNN every day, banning his political allies.
You gutless cowards, CNN!
You won't even cover Cuomo's brother.
I hope they sue the hell out of you for what Cuomo went up there, tap dancing around, when his brother, you had the USS Comfort that Trump went down and repurposed, sent up from Norfolk Naval Station.
President Trump went down.
You had the Comfort.
You had the Jacob Center totally reorganized into a field hospital.
You then had a field hospital built in Central Park, and oh, by the way, I'll throw in that Billy Graham's organization, Samaritan's Purse, they put two million dollars.
Why?
The whole nation wanted to make sure that the center of this, the center, the beating heart of the infection, because we closed the West Coast because of the heroic nature of Donald Trump, and stopping it against the advice of Tony Fauci, Against the advice in the Situation Room when Peter Navarro fought for it and got it, against Fauci, right?
New York was the beating heart of this.
A hospital ship to Comfort, the Javits Center, the Field Hospital in Central Park, and what Samaritan's Purse, none of it taken.
Why?
Because Cuomo didn't want Trump to get, no, headed to himself and sent him back to the nursing homes.
And now we know they lied about it, they misrepresented it, they hid it.
You see that on CNN?
Cuomo and his brother got the big swab laughing, mom's lasagna, it's so funny!
Blood's on your hands and now they're trying to hide you.
Okay?
Don't give me mom and her recipe, I don't want to hear it.
Okay?
Oh, the big happy Italian family, yeah.
While you're doing things and when they get into the discovery and find it all out, the criminal charge is going to come.
Mr. Rahim Kassam, Mr. Matt Gaetz.
raheem kassam
I just want to pick up on something that you mentioned there.
It's really important about the geopolitical aspects of this, especially regarding the Middle East and the so-called people who, for decades, have expressed concerns about the way that... Lectured you.
Yeah, about the way that Muslims... But, you know, the Iranian government stooges in London named me the Islamophobe of the year.
Well, you know, If Jerome was here, I suppose he'd say something like j'accuse, right?
Because let's throw this right back on them.
You have a situation now where people are being persecuted en masse, who are Muslims, by the way.
steve bannon
For being Muslims.
raheem kassam
For being Muslims, who are being persecuted en masse.
And remember, there is only one set of people in the world who have a dedicated refugee agency and get to pass on their refugee status to the next generation.
That would be the Palestinian people, right?
There is only one set of people now that is making news headlines day in and day out because they say, oh, Israel's not vaccinating the Palestinians.
You know, as if they're supposed to be going to these hostile people and handing them vaccines.
But they won't say anything about the Uyghurs.
They won't say anything about mass genocide that's taking place.
And I agree with you.
I think people need to really, truly internalize this.
This is a party, the Communist Party of China, is a political party on par with, if not worse than, the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany.
People have to keep reminding themselves that, and keep reminding themselves of the question, how did it happen?
How did it happen?
unidentified
Everybody asks themselves after the Second World War, how could we have allowed this to happen?
raheem kassam
This is how!
steve bannon
Exactly.
And by the way, that was all covering themselves after World War II, right?
They knew exactly how it was happening.
They knew exactly what was going on.
There were no secrets.
It's a disgrace.
Okay, now we're going to get to somebody that breaks the secrets, and that's John Solomon.
Just the News.
unidentified
Another report about our lovely FBI when we return in the War Room.
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.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got the great investigative reporter of our generation, John Solomon, with his great site, Justin News.
Okay, John, you're breaking news, my head is blowing up.
Peter Navarro, under investigation by the FBI for Russia, during the campaign!
But I've got to ask you first, how did you get this?
Is this public information?
john solomon
It should be public, because the President, Donald Trump, on his final day in office, declassified documents just like this.
This is one of the documents he declassified.
Sadly, neither the Trump administration nor the FBI has found a vehicle to get these out.
The FBI has zero interest in getting them out, because it's their deepest, darkest secrets.
But I've been able to get it from sources who've had it, who have the declassified copies.
And piece by piece, I've been getting each one of these documents.
It's a lot of work.
When you get one, you get the reward for the American public.
And in this case, to me, beyond the fishing expedition, they're looking at Navarro, they're looking at Flynn, they're looking at anyone who might create any connection.
The stated goal of the FBI is what ought to concern us more than anything else.
When you read what they tell Stefan Halper, the informant, our investigation isn't about Papadopoulos, like it was predicated, it isn't about Carter Page, it's about finding anyone, anyone, in the Trump campaign had any form of ties to Russia that could be used to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton out before the election.
This was about protecting Hillary Clinton, fishing for facts that they didn't have to try to sustain a story.
It's outrageous.
steve bannon
Halpern, I understand, is the guy at Stanford University and at Cambridge.
He's the recruiting arm of MI5, MI6, and the CIA.
We'll get to him another day.
But he's a guy.
But this is from July of 2016.
This is from July of 2016.
They're already plotting to try to blow up Donald J. Trump and this whole Russian collusion nonsense.
john solomon
Yeah, that's what's really important.
matt gaetz
If they'd have found something, Steve, I'm sorry, if they'd have found something, they would have used it before the election to stop Trump.
So it was a dual purpose.
steve bannon
This is the point.
matt gaetz
For electioneering and for the post-government.
unidentified
No, no, no.
steve bannon
They had no idea.
They wanted to stop Trump immediately.
They understood his populist nationalist message could go against the elite.
They wanted no glove on the elite.
This is what's so shocking about Solomon's report.
It's from July.
And what's more shocking, why was this not promulgated?
Not just declassified, why does it take all the great officers of the top investigative reporter, John Solomon, to find this stuff?
Mr. Solomon.
john solomon
Yeah, that's a great question.
Listen, there's been a lot of talk about transparency, a lot of talk about declassification.
Getting these things are almost impossible, and it shouldn't be this hard.
These are secrets that the American public need to know about to gauge whether the FBI is really abiding by its laws.
And you talked about the get-Trump scenario.
An FBI agent, Barnett, used those exact words in September of last year.
He said, there never was any evidence of collusion.
It was all about getting Trump, and it was like a bad game of Clue.
Just think about that.
Bad game of Clue.
You could put two people together and just pretend they were colluding.
steve bannon
Okay, the President's going to spit it out.
You have to go to Just the News.
It's the lead story.
We're going to have the link in the live chat.
John Solomon's Just the News.
He's got a huge show here on Real America's Voice.
Top investigative reporter of his generation.
All the stuff's inside baseball.
John, Durham.
Is something going to happen?
I don't hear Lindsey Graham.
I'm holding hearings here.
Is something going to happen with Durham, in your opinion, yes or no?
john solomon
Here's what my reporting shows.
They are in the final phase of the investigation.
They're making negotiations with witnesses.
They're bringing in people to tighten up stories and lay down a final timeline, and they will make a decision, I believe, next month.
That's the timeline most lawyers and defendants or cooperating witnesses are being told.
They'll make a decision probably sometime next month on whether to bring charges.
They're looking at a very small group of people, three to five people at the top of the FBI, for possibly misleading the FISA Court, engaging in a conspiracy to mislead Congress and the FISA Court.
We'll know by next month.
If it doesn't happen next month, you can roll up your camp and go home and realize that everybody escaped accountability except for one mid-level lawyer.
matt gaetz
John, are your sources telling you that it's just leadership at the FBI that has something to be concerned about with this decision about charges, or do you think there are also people at state, at CIA, folks from the Obama White House?
steve bannon
Brennan, Brennan, Brennan.
matt gaetz
Yeah, because I'm concerned about the reporting.
I've heard that these guys have all been told they're in the clear, and based on my review of the information from the standpoint of the Judiciary Committee, they were all tied in on it.
john solomon
They all were.
They're all in the clear as far as Durham is concerned.
This is really focused on, you know, some agents and some supervisors at the FBI that were at the center of this investigation.
But a lot of the other people do not appear to be in jeopardy based on my conversations with their lawyers, what I'm learning.
So you're right, Matt.
There's a lot of culpability to go around.
We're going to be lucky if we just get some accountability.
matt gaetz
Well, that means that on its best day, with the most opportunity, the Durham investigation is not a decapitation strike.
Because when these folks are able, at the highest levels of our government, to be able to coerce other governments to do what would not be legal for our government to do, there is no amount of weed-whacking at the middle management level that is sufficient.
john solomon
Yeah, you're right.
steve bannon
Real quick, the testimony the other day, talk about this concern on Capitol Hill about what the FBI is doing with this scraping.
matt gaetz
John, I mean, I am seeing reporting about the FBI utilizing these exquisite authorities to be able to obtain records and data from even the cell phones of members of Congress.
And while I don't know that that's illegal, it strikes me as a really offensive assault on the separation of powers.
You and I know, because we live and breathe this every day, the FBI is just yet another political entity within Washington, D.C.
They're no different than the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, and any other entity.
They're all empire builders, and the way you build your empire is by protecting your friends and targeting your enemies.
And that's what they've done, and now they're using these events of January 6th to try to collect data that they couldn't under normal criminal process.
How does it end?
john solomon
Yeah, that's a great question.
I've been working specifically on bank record transmissions, bank records that were turned over without a subpoena, and I'm beginning to learn some really interesting stuff about maybe the adaptation of an old tool we heard about back in the early 2000s called the National Security Letter, exigent circumstances.
I think there are some very serious civil liberty issues going on behind the scenes.
We've been working this for about 10 or 12 days.
I think, Congressman, you're 100% right.
There are some Extra legal things going on.
We got to get to the bottom of it.
Not quite there yet, but we're getting a lot of new information.
matt gaetz
But what he just pointed out is very important.
It is the fusion of big business with these major financial institutions, with big government, all with kind of the same political objectives.
steve bannon
This is what Tom Friedman is talking about.
This is the Chinese model.
The guys in the Republic are arguing socialism.
You're missing the point.
It's state capitalism with big government.
It's the China model.
They all admire Xi.
What John Solomon and Matt Gaetz are talking about is the China model.
The fusion of a handful of corporations that can kind of control, right?
Kill the entrepreneur class like they did in China, and then have the state, you know, what is it called, the Ministry of State Security over in China?
That's what the FBI has become.
unidentified
Particularly if Gates is what you're talking about.
steve bannon
Hey, and these are not schmenders, these are members of Congress!
That separates your powers.
John, what's your coordinates?
How do people get to Justin News?
Because you're breaking stories every day.
And when do you think you're going to break this story about the working of the banks with the FBI?
john solomon
Don't know yet.
We're working really hard.
And one of the things that Congressman just said that's really important, there's a revolving door between the FBI and big business.
All these agents, when they leave, they go be security chiefs for these big business.
That's where these alliances form.
Jay Solomon reports on Twitter, Parler, Facebook, same handle everywhere, justthenews.com.
I hope next week we'll have our first story on what we've learned about the FBI's tactics in investigating the Capitol riots.
steve bannon
But go up there today, you see this thing, the breaking news that he got, nobody else got, about the Steppenhafer and really the deposition, the testimony, and guys like Peter Navarro, whose head was blown up at 6 a.m.
in the morning when he read it on Just the News.
john solomon
How true.
steve bannon
John, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thanks, guys.
He's real America's voice.
Look forward to seeing you.
Fantastic.
The best.
john solomon
Sounds good.
unidentified
Thanks.
john solomon
Really appreciate it.
steve bannon
Wow.
Blockbuster.
We're going to get to Dr. Levine that we had profiled here yesterday.
He's getting lit up right now by one ramp.
Paul, can you get that in a second?
Do we have Dan Schultz ready to roll?
Is Dan Schultz a phoner?
Okay, fine.
It was only supposed to be ready, but that's okay.
Let's go.
Do we have...
Do we have Levine ready?
Do we have the thing?
Let's go to Levine.
raheem kassam
Let's play the clip because, you know, we talked about Dr. Rachel Levine and this pre-pubital blocking stuff the other day.
Nobody's really been paying attention to it, but John Schweppe and the guys at the American Principles Project are keeping a keen eye on it.
It seems that Senator Rand Paul is as well.
Let's roll this clip and hear from the Senator himself.
steve bannon
Senator Paul.
rand paul
Genital mutilation has been nearly universally condemned.
Genital mutilation has been condemned by the WHO, the United Nations Children's Fund, the United Nations Population Fund.
According to the WHO, genital mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of human rights.
Genital mutilation is considered particularly egregious because, as the WHO notes, it is nearly always carried out on minors and is a violation of the rights of children.
Most genital mutilation is not typically performed by force, but as WHO notes, that by social convention, social norm, the social pressure to conform, to do what others do and have been doing, as well as the need to be accepted socially and the fear of being rejected by the community, American culture is now normalizing the idea that minors can be given hormones to prevent their biological development of their secondary sexual characteristics.
Dr. Levine, you have supported both allowing minors to be given hormone blockers to prevent them from going through puberty, as well as surgical destruction of a minor's genitalia.
Like surgical mutilation, hormonal interruption of puberty can permanently alter and prevent secondary sexual characteristics.
The American College of Pediatricians reports that 80 to 95 percent of prepubertal children with gender dysphoria will experience resolution by late adolescence if not exposed to medical intervention and social affirmation.
Dr. Levine, do you believe that minors are capable of making such a life-changing decision as changing one's sex?
steve bannon
Well, Senator, thank you for your interest in this question.
unidentified
Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field.
raheem kassam
It's an incredible moment there because it's the only person that I've seen so far this morning during the Dr. Levine confirmation hearing that has actually set it out to what it really is and that is intervening with a child to have them sexually develop in a different way.
We don't allow it, in fact we've spent billions upon billions of taxpayers dollars and pounds Intervening against genital mutilation in Africa.
steve bannon
Throughout the world.
raheem kassam
Throughout the world.
And here what we're seeing is a hormonal intervention that effectively does a similar thing as Dr. Rand Paul lays out there.
So let's see where this goes.
steve bannon
Was he the first batter up?
Were other Republicans challenging Dr. Levine on these topics?
raheem kassam
Well, we know that there's been a lot of chatter about this since John Schweppe put this story out and put the news out.
I'm following this in real time.
This is actually happening concurrent to the show right now, so I'm not sure in what order this has been taking place.
But it does seem to me that this is an increasingly interesting story as far as a lot of Republicans are concerned, predominantly because they didn't know.
They just did not know that Rachel Levine had stood up on stages across the world and advocated for children's genders being changed with chemicals.
steve bannon
Pretty shocking.
But you think we're going to get to the bottom of this today with Dr. Rand Paul and others?
raheem kassam
Well, look, I mean, it's the first foray that anybody on the political right, I suppose, has even made into this area.
It's incredibly sensitive because, of course, whenever you talk about it, you're taking off social media.
You know, you're suspended and so on and so forth.
matt gaetz
That's the voice of Raheem Kassam that's listening.
raheem kassam
You'll see what happens.
steve bannon
Even if you just put out the facts.
raheem kassam
I believe that Dr. Rachel Levine is the real reason I was suspended on social media.
steve bannon
Because you had Schweppes, you did the podcast on that.
raheem kassam
We did the stories, we did the podcast, and today was the hearing.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Your empowerment moment is coming.
Dan Schultz, from the Precinct Project, next.
unidentified
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.
steve bannon
This is all about agency.
When Matt Gaetz is at CPAC over the next couple of days and President Trump is, they're talking about this movement, putting its shoulder to the wheel.
Remember, in the audience, we're here to offer you information, concepts, ideas, but also to expose you to action, action, action.
Those people that are actually getting things done.
This is not a passive This is active listening.
Now, Dan Schultz, former West Point graduate, has done a tremendous job at the precinctproject.wordpress.com.
But you've got a whole new, you've redone everything, Dan, because of the overwhelming response you've gotten from this show and others as you've been out there about people that want to engage and become precinct committeemen in the Republican Party.
dan schultz
Yes, Steve, thank you.
Yeah, I've got a new URL.
It's precinctstrategy.com, so it's a lot easier to remember.
And the really cool kids at CPAC, some of them are going to be wearing a new button.
It's slide 37, which just says precinctstrategy.com on it, but stays with this PC button that I'm wearing, theme.
And one of the guys who's going to be wearing it, everybody who's on this button project down there at CPAC are people that I've met since February 6th when I was on your program.
One is Bob Lancia.
He's running for Congress.
BobLanciaForCongress.com.
He's a retired Navy chaplain.
I've spoken to him a few times now.
He's a great candidate.
He was in the Rhode Island Legislature.
He ran two years ago.
He thinks it was stolen.
I think it was stolen.
I guess we're not supposed to say that, but too bad.
Anyways, he'll be there.
I always like to use the Plato slide.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
That's where we are right now, obviously.
People have been asking, that's a slide, if you want to put it up, 24.
But the next slide is after that would be what I hope President Trump will say at CPAC is something along the lines of the art of the precinct and what we need to be doing.
We need to take over our party.
It's at half strength and we could invade it and Trump-lify it.
And I hope that's what he'll talk about.
And then slide four is my Reelville slide.
This is what physically needs to happen.
You've got to find your local committee and get to the meeting, your county meeting, your local district meeting.
They usually meet monthly and the reason you need to get there is There's about 400,000 of these precinct committeeman slots nationwide.
It's called different things in different states, but usually precinct committeemans.
Precinct delegate, precinct chair.
But you've got to get to the meeting and volunteer to fill a vacancy.
Tread lightly.
matt gaetz
Hey Dan, this is Congressman Matt Gaetz.
I want to ask you this question because I have endeavored to inspire people to go to the meeting, and that's not the hard part.
The hard part is getting them to go to the third or the fourth one.
Because instead of having a platform like the War Room, where we are about empowerment, where we do give people an action plan, where we do sift through kind of the finer elements of tactics, these Republican Party meetings often become sort of low-energy performance debuts for candidates that can't win political office.
And so what is the message that you're sharing with people, not only to sort of show up, But to try to, just like you said, Trumpify these entities so that they become part of the operational exoskeleton of what we're trying to do here in the America First movement.
dan schultz
Well, right.
We only need three-tenths of one percent of the 74 million MAGA people to do this.
Just 200,000.
Be one.
Be the tip of the spear.
You're the elite if you do this.
Please do it.
I hope President Trump will ask everyone to do it.
So, I'll skip Let's go straight to slide 33, which is basically the concept of, you know, where to unite so that we don't die.
Whatever group you're in, conservative group, wear one more hat one night a month.
Go to your local political party committee meeting and get involved in the party and become the tip of the spear for you and your issue.
But with other conservatives, like-minded conservatives, let's fill up all the slots.
So slide five is again what I hope President Trump will do at CPAC.
He'll ask people to become Involved in the party, Trump-lify it.
He's got the data to reach out to everybody because of the campaign.
He needs to send them an invite.
I mean, it's one thing for me to ask people to do this.
It's quite another if President Donald J. Trump does it, and I sure hope he does.
And so, the last thing I think I'm just going to jump to is my new contact information slide.
That's 32.
Precinctstrategy.com, much easier to remember.
It'll take you right to my site.
There's information there about every state.
Find it.
It's off on the right side if you're on a PC.
Better to do it on a PC.
There's my book title.
It's a real catchy title, isn't it?
Anyways, to get it on Amazon, go to Amazon, put in Trump, Schultz, Ballgame politics.
You'll find it.
It's pretty easy.
And then, Rahim, I'm using ProtonMail now also for this project.
ColdWarrior1978 at ProtonMail.com if you need to reach me if you run into any trouble, you have a question.
Try to find your committee yourself, please.
But if you run into trouble, contact me.
And I've been fielding lots of emails, and it's a lot of fun.
Thanks.
steve bannon
Precinctstrategy.com.
We've had, what, almost 150,000.
It's a clip of 5,500.
I need everybody in the audience to hit it.
Hit it hard today.
This empowers you.
This gets you in the game.
Dan Schultz, thank you very much.
It's fantastic.
Okay, the speech tomorrow on main stage at CPAC.
Congressman Gates, give us a preview.
matt gaetz
We will hear many calls for Republican unity.
If we all just come together, it doesn't really matter what we believe, so long as we're owning the libs.
I don't think that unity, forsaking our values and principles, is worth a damn.
So I'm going to make the argument that the Republican Party needs to continue to be a party that puts our country and our people first, that the political realignment led by our transformational president Donald J. Trump must continue, that he remains the most effective messenger for our movement, But those of us like Ron DeSantis, myself, Jim Jordan, we've got a role to play too and we've got to get out there with that forceful vigor and invite people to the greatest political movement of our time.
steve bannon
What's the social media?
How do people get you?
And by the way, the book is Firebrand.
Go to Amazon and get it.
Firebrand's the book.
You've got to read it.
matt gaetz
On Twitter, at Matt Gaetz or at Rep Matt Gaetz.
I'm on every platform.
You can find me.
steve bannon
Podcast today?
raheem kassam
Yeah, on the podcast today will actually be my Hillsdale speech from the other day, I think.
unidentified
Fabulous.
raheem kassam
Because Matt hadn't heard it yet, so I'm going to give him something to listen to on the plane.
steve bannon
I want to talk about that at five o'clock.
We've also, besides Navarro, Boris Epstein, we're going to have Corey Stewart on, former Assistant Secretary of Commerce, to talk about the lies AT&T's spreading about their involvement with China Telecom and the Chinese Communist Party, all at five o'clock.
I want to make sure all the lawyers for AT&T are watching closely.
