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. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, live from an occupied nation's capital. | ||
| It's the 51st day of the occupation of Washington, D.C. | ||
| with 5,000 to 7,000 combat troops. | ||
| Of course, we've now heard from, I think, the head of Capitol Hill Police, the new head, that the reason that they're all here is because they're afraid that these domestic terrorists are going to blow up the Capitol around Joe Biden's State of the Union address. | ||
| I kid you not. | ||
| Okay, so we're demanding information on that, and you're seeing now it's starting to come forward. | ||
| This is complete nonsense. | ||
| This is just to Intimidate. | ||
| Intimidate. | ||
| It's psychological warfare. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Saturday, the 26th of February, the year of our Lord, 2021. | ||
| Where did this month go? | ||
| I'll tell you what some people are doing. | ||
| We just crossed, last night, 38 million downloads on the podcast. | ||
| I really want to thank everybody. | ||
| Remember, the podcast is just the fifth way we distribute this. | ||
| John Frederick's Radio Network nationwide. | ||
| Of course, Real America's Voice out of Denver, Colorado. | ||
| We're now on DISH Channel 219. | ||
| Comcast on cable, Channel 113. | ||
| They're the streaming service of the Trump Revolution. | ||
| I want to thank the guys out there, particularly great job they're doing at CPAC. | ||
| And we're on, what is it, we're on Rumble, we're on Gab, we're on Telegram, we're on Vizios, Roku, Pluto, Ubiquitous, everywhere you can get, plus on many of the sites, you can go to the sites, whether it's Populous Press or The Gateway Pundit, all these great sites, creative destruction media, the Star, all the Star newspapers are up on the homepage every day, so we're ubiquitous. | ||
| Meet us where you gather, okay? | ||
| We've got live chats all over, everybody in the live chat, everybody in the hashtag, we're in a pandemic, because here's the reason, this show is 1000% about Your agency. | ||
| It's empowering you. | ||
| We're going to send you to sites that you can join up and you can participate in. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Today at CPAC we've got a packed, packed schedule. | ||
| I've got two of my favorite people in the world here as my in-studio co-hosts. | ||
| Pam Pryor. | ||
| Pam Pryor is an old Palin hand from the old days, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Long time. | |
| Long time. | ||
|

|
Long time, not old. | |
| Long time. | ||
| Long time, Palin hand. | ||
|

|
We don't spend much on makeup here. | |
| She was also, not only on the 16 campaign, but she was in the State Department with Pompeo, and she was what, the head of the religious section over there, faith-based section, did so much great work. | ||
| We're going to talk about that, her great work, and great work going forward. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, a renowned member of the Reagan administration, been really a fighter for freedom for many, many, many years, and was the founder of the Committee on the Present Danger. | ||
| China, and has taken on the CCP as his focus in life, to take down the CCP, but also about protecting the faith-based community throughout the world, and particularly the persecution of Christians and Jews. | ||
| We're announcing, we're kicking off this entire week, we're going to have a special later in the week on the persecution of the Jews of Europe and the rise of anti-semitism worldwide. | ||
| We're going to have everyday specialists here talking about the persecution of Christians, the Uyghurs, all of it, okay? | ||
| And today on the show we're going to talk about what's happening at CPAC on these topics of the faith-based community. | ||
| Remember, the radical atheist, radical materialist is the other side of the football. | ||
| That's how this world breaks down now, right? | ||
| This politics is not Republican and Democrat, it's not liberal and conservative, it's not progressive and right-wing. | ||
| It is basically populist, nationalist, traditionalist, religious, spiritual, humanist, versus, on the other side, the global elitist, secularist, atheist, radical materialist, transhumanist, right? | ||
| They believe in this thing called scientism. | ||
| We believe that we're made in the divine image of God, right? | ||
| In his image. | ||
| And this is where this big fight is going to take place. | ||
| And every day you can see it. | ||
| And at CPAC, I can tell you, they're firing off the football. | ||
| One of the great things, and we're jammed today for a time. | ||
| We've got so many, we had so many young people on yesterday and the audience responded so well. | ||
| This fight is engaged. | ||
| President Trump tomorrow is the starting bell. | ||
| But I got to tell you, the troops have rallied on this. | ||
| I've never seen so much energy at CPAC from people under 35 years old. | ||
| That's the future of this movement. | ||
| It's on fire. | ||
| And we're stopping the Biden administration. | ||
| The illegitimate, illegal Biden administration, and Facebook, YouTube, I don't care if you don't like that. | ||
| Because every time you try to suppress it, the show gets bigger. | ||
| We proved that in the Soviet Union, right? | ||
| The more you try to suppress it, what is it, Somedot? | ||
| Give Frank a mic, producer. | ||
| That's how we do it. | ||
| So I've got to go, we're talking about the thought police and talking about wrong think. | ||
| I've got to go, we've got DC Drano and Flukas. | ||
| Five main followers, the two of the top leaders and influencers in the conservative movement, in the Trump movement, they got tapped out of CPAC I think in the first ten minutes. | ||
| I want to go to DC Drano and Fleckus. | ||
| Guys, thank you for joining us in the War Room. | ||
| Everybody wants to know, my phone's been blown up all night, what's the story? | ||
| Tell us what happened. | ||
| Well, we came to our Airbnb in Orlando and decided to go to CPAC. | ||
| We had media passes. | ||
| We've gone multiple times over the years. | ||
| And, you know, we heard that they were a little bit strict on the masks. | ||
| We live in Florida. | ||
| We really hate wearing masks because we know the science. | ||
| We both have already had COVID, so we're not worried about passing it to anyone else. | ||
| But yeah, so we we've got our media passes. | ||
| We're in Media Row figured we'd just go say hi to some of our friends, see if anyone wants to do a news hit, and within about 15 minutes, we both separately were ejected with police presence from the premises and told that we would be arrested if we returned. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Flekas, so you guys were clearly targeted as two of the leaders of this movement as soon as you walked in the door. | ||
| Is there any doubt about that? | ||
| It felt that way, for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was a lot of people standing around who weren't wearing masks. | |
| There's a whole group next to us not wearing, and I asked the security guard, I said, you know, what's going on here? | ||
| How come you're talking to me and these people sitting right here aren't wearing one? | ||
| And he said that they were commentating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I guess that's different, even though all their cameras were packed up. | |
| It was really frustrating. | ||
| I can't wear it in my real life. | ||
| This is not me being kind of like a masked guy. | ||
| I'm not trying to be a hardo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This wasn't like a stunt or a viral clip thing. | |
| It was just me truly not being able to wear one. | ||
| Going through, lasting about 10 minutes and getting asked to leave. | ||
| But here's on our stand, you gotta help me out here. | ||
| You two guys are California guys. | ||
| DC Drainer used to be an entertainment lawyer. | ||
| Flukas, you were born, I think, born and raised out there. | ||
| You guys are tramplants to Florida. | ||
| DeSantis, best governor we got. | ||
| I thought, and the reason we had this down there, and everybody's raving about Florida's on fire, Florida's freedom. | ||
| Why do you have to wear a mask in Florida? | ||
| I think everybody in the nation's confused about this. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Well, it's a source of angst with me because I promote America's governor, DeSantis, and I love this great state of Florida. | ||
| It is the freest state that we have. | ||
| But what DeSantis did is, you know, he said no more lockdowns, no more mask mandates at the state level. | ||
| And what's happened is we have some very blue left-leaning counties. | ||
| But hang on, hang on, hang on, this is my point. | ||
| Is it, and this is why you guys are being targeted, is the science in the state of Florida, look, Ron DeSantis is, I think, a Yale and Harvard graduate. | ||
| He's as smart as they come, former naval officer, very serious guy. | ||
| When he looks at stuff, and the reason their state's doing so well, he's not a guy just winging it. | ||
| He's looking at data. | ||
| He's looking at evidence, right? | ||
| He's looking at what it takes to back up a decision. | ||
| He's made an executive decision, and Florida's flourishing. | ||
| Why is the science different in Orlando? | ||
| Is the science different at the Hyatt Hotel? | ||
| By the way, let's be honest, the Pritzker's the Hyatt, I think. | ||
| One of the most left-wing families in the country, just saying. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The Governor of Illinois, they've helped screw up Illinois and everything else they touch. | ||
| Every time they come in, Penny, I think was in the Commerce Department, another disaster. | ||
| So they're super left-wing, right? | ||
| Don't even know why we're having the conference there, but hey, maybe we got a good rate. | ||
| But is the science or the air around Orlando different than the rest of the state of Florida, guys? | ||
| Yes or no? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I don't understand why you're on the sofa instead of your leaders. | ||
| It's not like you're just two schmendricks. | ||
| You've got five million followers. | ||
| Drano, you came up with the idea that I stole, quite frankly, about Trump running for Speaker of the House that's on fire, had me on the cover of the Boston Herald. | ||
| You guys are two of the leaders. | ||
| Why are you on the sofa at your crib instead of at CPAC being leaders to these young people? | ||
| Well, logistically speaking, they took our media passes and replaced them with trespass warnings from the Sheriff's Office that if I returned... | ||
| I'll be arrested on sight. | ||
| So that's nice. | ||
| We're there about 15 minutes. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You know, I will say I would have expected by now to hear from CPAC officials or maybe from, you know, someone from Governor DeSantis' office. | ||
| I know they're very busy people, but I feel like this is a pretty big issue that at the biggest conservative political conference, you had two of the biggest influencers kicked out for taking selfies while, you know, lowering their masks. | ||
| It's kind of a joke. | ||
| Has this happened? | ||
| We've got to bounce. | ||
| By the way, after the show, I'm going to engage with you guys. | ||
| We've got to get this sorted. | ||
| We've got to set this right. | ||
| This is just not right. | ||
| You guys were obviously, as soon as you walked in the building, because Drano, didn't they knock you down on Twitter at the same time? | ||
| Didn't they take you off Twitter? | ||
| Three hours later, my Twitter account with almost 400,000 followers is gone. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's no conspiracies, but there are also no coincidences, right? | ||
| Okay, we're going to set this right. | ||
| So guys, what we're going to do is, after the show, we're going to engage with you and figure this thing out. | ||
| This is not right. | ||
| You need to be in that building. | ||
| You need to be at the Reagan dinner. | ||
| You need to be there tomorrow, leading young people, when the President of the United States, the 45th President of the United States, comes on that stage and lays out the plan going forward. | ||
| It's just not acceptable. | ||
| Right, so we'll figure out how to make contact, but no, you were targeted, and here's what's not, we're not getting on top of enough, is that, why do these local, like, dictators think that they, is the air in Orlando different than the rest of Florida? | ||
| And if they have, by the way, if the local authority has a reason, just like if the fence is up here, if there's data and evidence that backs it up, We're reasonable people. | ||
| Let's just talk about it. | ||
| There's no data that backs us up, this fence. | ||
| This is all psychological warfare. | ||
| And trust me, there's no data that backs up why Orlando's different than what Governor DeSantis is, because he's from Yale and Harvard, and he's smart as they come, and he looks through stuff before he makes decisions. | ||
| And if you look at his decisions he's made, they've been pretty good, right? | ||
| So Fleckus Drano, DC Drano, how do people get to you besides coming to, don't give you a street address, we don't want to come knocking on the door, but is there any way that people can follow you given that there's clearly an organized effort to take you guys out digitally so that nobody can get to you? | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right now I'm on all of the new platforms that popped up, Gab, Parler, I'm still on Instagram. | |
| I have two strikes on YouTube, so my days there are kind of numbered. | ||
| Twitter as well. | ||
| Mine's DC Drano on everything except Twitter now. | ||
| DC underscore Drano stands for draining the DC swamp. | ||
| Okay, these are two of the great young leaders of this movement, and this movement is about youth. | ||
| And they talk about being additive. | ||
| We don't need additives about collapsing on our principles. | ||
| The way we're additive is to get young people as the vanguard. | ||
| And Flekas and DC Drainer are the vanguard of this movement. | ||
| Guys, we'll contact you right after the show's over. | ||
| We're on it right now. | ||
| Really honored to have you on the show. | ||
| Everybody in this audience, go on these alternative platforms, which are the platforms, sign up, follow these two young gentlemen right now. | ||
| Guys, thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| You know this. | ||
| You guys know it better than I do. | ||
| If they win here, they're going to win everywhere. | ||
| Victory begets victory. | ||
| That's why we've got to fight back. | ||
| That's why the energy is so high in CPAC right now. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| We've got Fog City Midge. | ||
| Is Fog City in the studio? | ||
| Fog City, put it in perspective. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it looks a lot like yesterday. | |
| I think there's actually more people who have showed up today. | ||
| Already the energy is pumping here at CPAC, but a lot of people are talking about the masks. | ||
| And I just, I gotta come back to this because I am getting blown up about DC Drano and Fleckus being ejected yesterday. | ||
| And the fact that, you know, CPAC and MATCHLAB have not reached out to these two guys, because I feel like this sort of highlights The difference between CPAC leadership and what's really happening with the Patriot movement. | ||
| I think that people don't realize that the influencers in the MAGA movement are the new leadership. | ||
| They are leading the young people into the conservative movement. | ||
| So the fact that these two guys aren't being called, aren't being apologized to, aren't being brought up on stage, I mean, it's very... | ||
| I mean, it's disappointing and I just think it highlights what's wrong with the GOP right now and what's wrong with CPAC. | ||
| So people are talking about this. | ||
| They're saying that, you know, this is actually just solidifying their disdain for the CPAC event. | ||
| And yeah, they're really frustrated. | ||
| We're going to start it right. | ||
| I think it may just be a lack of communication. | ||
| We're going to try to make sure that this is taken care of. | ||
| Midge, we want you on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've got to blow him up. | |
| We'll come back to you. | ||
| Yeah, we're going to blow him up. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to come back. | |
| We've got Amanda Milius. | ||
| We've got Ambassador Sam Brownback. | ||
| We've got Dede Lawson from Committee on the Present Danger about Christian persecution. | ||
| This is packed today. | ||
| We're going to come back and grab Midge later in the show. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return to 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. | ||
| Okay, here in the War Room in D.C. | ||
| I've got old Cold Warrior that's now taking on the fight against the Chinese Communist Party, Frank Gaffney, the legendary Frank Gaffney. | ||
| By the way, it's so great to have Frank here because he's been booted out. | ||
| Flukas, I don't hear you guys whining. | ||
| Frank Gaffney's been booted out of CPAC ten times more. | ||
| He's been marched out by the CPAC guys! | ||
| Not by the hotel. | ||
| More about that later. | ||
| But, you know, the uninvited. | ||
| And the reason is Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Everything you got kicked out for all came to fruition. | ||
| Should have been the real fight. | ||
| And Pam Pryor, wingman for Governor Palin at the height of Governor Palin and also in the State Department with Mike Pompeo and the Trump administration on the 16th campaign. | ||
| She's leading the fight for faith-based groups, persecuted Christians, Jews, and others throughout the world. | ||
| So we're here in the studio. | ||
| I want to go live now to a Wow, a troublemaker. | ||
| It's bad enough starting out with D.C. | ||
| Drano, Flukas, and Fog City Midge. | ||
| You've got three troublemakers. | ||
| Now we go, we're kind of ramping it up as we go. | ||
| Amanda Milius, a fabulous director. | ||
| The writer-director of the plot against the president. | ||
| Lee Smith's great book. | ||
| She's the filmmaker. | ||
| And comes from a great lineage of filmmakers. | ||
| But you're also Deputy Assistant Secretary in the State Department for Content. | ||
| Amanda, was that your job? | ||
| Yes, during the first three years of the Trump administration until I resigned to go make the movie. | ||
| So, I want to get to the movie in a second, but you're one of the cutting-edge leaders of this movement. | ||
| Tell me about the energy down at CPAC. | ||
| What are you seeing? | ||
| What are you feeling? | ||
| Where do you think we go from here? | ||
| Okay, so I was watching your previous segment, and I know that the biggest controversy is the mask thing, but I've been talking to the guys that are, you know, running CPAC, and this is my first year being here as a, you know, an actual real person as opposed to staffing somebody, which is interesting, but it's actually, it's amazing. | ||
| It's really good to be down in Florida and be away. | ||
| There's no, um, what I think is, what at least I've been told is it's the local municipality and that the governor's here, he can't do anything about it. | ||
| That it's not the CPAC that threw them out. | ||
| CPAC didn't even know that they had been thrown out and that they're trying to get them back in. | ||
| That's what I was just told. | ||
| And that, um, I mean, I don't think Matt Schlapp cares about masks. | ||
| Like they don't care about masks. | ||
| Like I just worked with the guy in Nevada for the last three months. | ||
| Like he doesn't, I don't think he's a mask guy. | ||
| no no no matter how you know what it is you know it's a nice yes the president's gonna speak on sunday you know we have to i think that's the main thing is that waiting in sar at least and making sure they don't get to shut it down before a potus speaks on sunday has obviously that's gonna be a target So what do you think? | ||
| You're a filmmaker. | ||
| How's this narrative? | ||
| How are we going to fire off the football tomorrow? | ||
| You specialize. | ||
| You were content over at the State Department. | ||
| You're a specialist in narrative. | ||
| What's the narrative coming out of CPAC around the President's speech and the youthful energy down there? | ||
| Um, I would say just that it solidifies the fact that he is the leader of this party and that the Mitch McConnells are so done and anybody, it's all about the DeSantis's and the Trump, like it's the Trump energy. | ||
| Nobody is, um, there's no other leader to this party. | ||
| Everybody here is here because, I mean, this is the first real big public, um, Yeah. | ||
| going to see from him since the end of the administration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So everybody's excited about it. I mean, it just shows you that like the real rock stars, the people that the party really care about, there's like Rick Grinnell, DeSantis, like I said, like all the people that are the pro-Trump people that this is where the energy is. I mean, obviously, you know that. You know that better than anybody. | ||
| Your film, Lee Smith's book, The Plot Against Trump, was a huge hit. | ||
| What are you working on now? | ||
| People want to know where Amanda Milius takes her career as far as a great conservative filmmaker. | ||
| What are you working on and where are you going? | ||
| Well, the production company that I formed to do that, we're going to keep around. | ||
| It's called 1AMDC. | ||
| We're going to stay in Washington, D.C. | ||
| We're putting together a slate of between three and five flagship feature-length movies for the next two years. | ||
| So we'll be standing that up. | ||
| But then as well, we're going to try to have a lot of sort of smaller issue-based or even political advocacy content and basically taking what I was doing in the government out into the private sector. | ||
| Running a production company, which is something I never thought I'd do, but you know how crazy that is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to have to help me. | |
| And by the way, you're as good as it gets. | ||
| Remember, this young woman was the head of content strategy in the State Department under Pompeo, picked by President Trump. | ||
| Amanda, we've got to jump. | ||
| How do people follow you, though? | ||
| This is an action-oriented audience. | ||
| They want to know how they follow you, how they get engaged. | ||
| What do you need them to do? | ||
| Uh, at the moment, I say follow our Twitter account. | ||
| It's P-A-T-P Movie, which is Plot Against the President Movie. | ||
| And we have all of our content and all of our stuff going out on there. | ||
| We have an Instagram. | ||
| And the movie's available everywhere. | ||
| It's on Amazon. | ||
| It's on iTunes. | ||
| It's on PlayStation. | ||
| It's on YouTube Premium. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| Watch it. | ||
| Don't forget that they tried to hoax us in this Russiagate situation. | ||
| Never forget. | ||
| Okay, Amanda Milius, thank you very much. | ||
| I appreciate you being in the War Room. | ||
| We're going to go to, let's bring up Ambassador Sam Brambach. | ||
| This is the young leadership that's got people on fire. | ||
| By the way, people understand, she's too modest to say, she's the father of one of the greatest, John Miller's one of the greatest writer-directors in all of Hollywood, right? | ||
| And that lineage plays through. | ||
| This woman is a fabulous piece of talent and hardcore. | ||
| I am, Steve. | ||
| you can see but this is what they did so the audience wants to follow in order what you go to all the platforms were to go get the movie lease miss books amazing you see all the details in there and they did a fantastic job to get every person involved in this situation there so now i want to go to ambassador we have to investor brown back we got him on the phone and that's a brown bucket with us i am st there you go in this morning I'm doing great, sir. | ||
| So we're down at CPAC. | ||
| We're here in D.C. | ||
| I got Frank Gaffney, I got Pam Prager, two hardcores here. | ||
| We've allowed the young kids to go to CPAC and take it over, but one of the big themes that's coming out, and we're kicking off an entire week of persecution of faith-based communities, right? | ||
| We have a special on persecution on the Jews on Tuesday for an entire hour on our show. | ||
| We're leading up to promoting the Voice of the Martyrs, big conference on Friday. | ||
| We're every day, individually, we're going to be taking time to look at the persecution of Christians and Jews and other faith-based people throughout the world. | ||
| You were selected by the President of the United States to be his ambassador on this topic. | ||
| Can you give people right now just an overview? | ||
| I think this is the great, as Gaffney tells me, this is the greatest persecution we've ever seen of Christians and Jews and faith-based people in the history of mankind and the mainstream media will not talk about this. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| We know what side of the football they're on. | ||
| So Ambassador, where do we stand globally with this issue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, after the Trump administration, we stand much better than we did before. | |
| We've got an alliance of nearly 40 nations willing to address and push on the topic. | ||
| We've got it lifted up in the international bodies that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for the first time ever, went to the UN General Assembly and hosted his big meeting about persecution of people of faith, of Christians and everybody around the world. | ||
| That had never been done before. | ||
| We put together international conferences, we had ministerials, foreign ministers from a number of countries, and a hundred countries come together around the topic of international religious freedom. | ||
| So we're launched on pushing back, but we've got a long ways to go because the persecution level is really off the charts, and the number of people being killed simply for their faith, the number of Christians being killed for their faith, is at an all-time record high. | ||
| Okay, if you say we have a long way to go, what do you recommend we need to do today, and how can this audience, because this is a global audience of activists, right? | ||
| We can, if it's signing up to do this, we'll melt down your server, right? | ||
| People want to know, because they're like sitting there going, oh my god, I'm having a cup of coffee on Saturday, I got Sam Brownback, a guy I love, we've known for years, his voice, he's telling me that the persecution, even after Trump and all this stuff they did, right, all this great work, the persecution at the highest levels in like world history, People's dropping their coffee mugs right now. | ||
| So when you say that, what do you need to have happen? | ||
| And how do we need to engage people to support you and your work? | ||

I think we've got to galvanize the faith community in this. | |
| And to do that, July 13th to 15th in Washington, D.C. | ||
| at the Omni Showroom, we're going to pull together the International Religious Freedom Summit 2021. | ||
| We're going to make it an annual event. | ||
| And we're going to pull together this faith community that is being persecuted around the world into a force, a force in Washington D.C. | ||
| and around the world to press this topic on forward. | ||
| And then I hope people as well locally, I hope they'll get a hold of their congressmen, their senators, saying, you know, you really got to press on this topic because if the United States doesn't stand aggressively on religious freedom, nobody will. | ||
| And then finally, we've got to confront China. | ||
| China is the big enabler of human rights abuses in the world, of religious freedom abuses in the world. | ||
| They're a big persecutor themselves, but even more than that, Steve, they enable other countries to be able to do it, and we've got to continue this confrontation with China on human rights abuses and across the board. | ||
| Real quickly, your score, on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being perfect, 1 being not so hot, where does the Biden administration, in their first month, where would Ambassador Sam Brownback, one of the most decent, honest guys out there, not a partisan hack, but a decent, not a partisan hack like Bannon, a decent, hard-working guy that puts the country first and the faith-based community first, where would Sam Brownback, Ambassador Sam Brownback, rate the Biden administration? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would put it just as unknown right now. | |
| We just haven't seen any actions taken. | ||
| I am hopeful they're going to take this topic on and continue what President Trump did. | ||
| We just don't know, Steve. | ||
| You can't be AWOL. | ||
| And AWOL to me is a zero. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And let me just say, Sam Brownback, with Pam's considerable help, did a remarkable job of helping to elevate this whole issue. | ||
| The ministerial meetings that you convened, Sam, with Pompeo and the President and so on, were unbelievably important, and I'm sure the summit will be as well. | ||
| I just want to say, if you want action, One of the things that we've called for, and Sam was helpful to us right at the get-go of the Save the Persecuted Christian Coalition, is two things. | ||
| Hold the persecutors accountable. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And create costs to them for their persecution. | ||
| There aren't any right now. | ||
| That has to be done. | ||
| Let's take a short commercial break. | ||
| Ambassador Brownback, quickly, what's your social media? | ||
| Where are your coordinates? | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||

| You were in the administration. | ||
| On a scale of 1 to 10, you were noticeably quiet there, Ms. | ||
| Pam Pryor. | ||
| I know Ambassador Brownback's very classy. | ||
| He's saying, hey, they're getting incomplete right now. | ||
| They've had 30 days. | ||
| They've had the transition. | ||
| Where do you rate them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Zero. | |
| Yeah, two things. | ||
| One, just recently the president said the mistreatment of Uyghurs was a cultural thing. | ||
| Cultural norm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's not cultural to kill people and have forced sterilization. | |
| That is an insult from Joe Biden to the Chinese people, one of the greatest civilizations on Earth. | ||
| The Lao-Beijing should be up in arms and say, hey, what are you talking about? | ||
| It's not our norm. | ||
| They're the most decent, hard-working people on Earth and you're saying that's a norm for this persecution? | ||
| Remember, the Express newspaper said it. | ||
| He fears the 300 million Christians, Evangelical House Christians, and underground Catholic Church. | ||
| He doesn't fear the American government, obviously. | ||
| He doesn't even fear the U.S. | ||
| military anymore, of everything they've stolen. | ||
| Doesn't fear NATO, doesn't fear the City of London, does not fear Wall Street, the global corporations that are in business with him, doesn't fear the party of Davos, they're his partners. | ||
| You know what he fears in this entire Earth? | ||
| Christian Lao-Beijing. | ||
| Working class, underground Chinese people. | ||
| He knows that's the threat. | ||
| They said it's a threat. | ||
| This is why the persecuted church in Rome became the leading part of Christianity. | ||
| More than Jerusalem, more than Antioch, more than Korath. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because of the intense persecution. | ||
| It is the Chinese Christians, just like in Eastern Europe and Russia, showed us the way through the Cold War. | ||
| They're going to be the leaders, not just their freedom, they're going to be the leaders in Christianity globally. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they've seen the boot of a vicious, materialistic dictator that's trying to eradicate it. | ||
| Our next guest knows this, right? | ||
| D.D. | ||
| Laugeson. | ||
|
unidentified
|
D.D. | |
| Laugeson is the Executive Secretary of the Committee on the Present Danger China and The executive director of another terrific group, the Save the Persecuted Christians, which I have the privilege of heading up. | ||
| That's inextricably linked. | ||
| They are inextricably linked. | ||
| And that's the point, Steve. | ||
| What we're talking about right now, especially in the aftermath of the Chinese Communist Party saying, the hell with the Pope and the deal we struck with him, this is where she comes in. | ||
| DeeDee, and here's the good news, ladies and gentlemen, in our audience. | ||
| DeeDee Laugeson is young, and she's in CPAC. | ||
| She's down there. | ||
| So tell us, first off... Without a mask. | ||
| Without a mask. | ||
| Tell us your work, DeeDee. | ||
| I don't want to have her arrested. | ||
| I don't want to get her bounced. | ||
| Let's not get her bounced. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| God, Pam, you're such a troublemaker. | ||
| So Palinesque. | ||
| DeeDee, tell us about your work for the persecuted Christians and against the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Hi, Steve. | ||
| Hi, Frank. | ||
| You know, there are 340 million Christians around the world who suffered heavy persecution throughout last year. | ||
| That's a historic number. | ||
| It's been historic since 2018 when there were 215 million. | ||
| Those numbers are going up year by year. | ||
| The persecution of Christians globally is getting worse, and we are starting to see it happen even here in our own land in America. | ||
| That's more than the number of American citizens we have. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For every man, woman, and child in the United States, there is a Christian out there suffering daily, not knowing if they're going to make it through the day. | |
| and i was not a worst persecutors of christians okay for our audience right now what i want to say of what i want to the big hot spots Take us through the big hotspots of the world. | ||
| You say 340 million. | ||
| Our audience, where should our audience focus their being persecuted the most? | ||

Nigeria has a raging jihad against Christians right now. | |
| Christians are being killed, slaughtered in the most horrific ways, and nobody is making any hay about Nigeria. | ||
| Also, in Pakistan, you have the Muslims going against Hindus and Christians on a regular basis. | ||
| In India you have the Hindus going against the Muslims and the Christians. | ||
| And in China you have the communists coming after people of all faiths. | ||
| It doesn't matter what faith you practice. | ||
| Children are no longer allowed to learn their faith or to worship at all. | ||
| So within a generation China looks to wipe out faith across the land completely. | ||
| And they're doing it right now with the Uyghurs. | ||
| There's a genocide of Falun Gong as well, an organ genocide. | ||
| Last year, the tribunal out of the UK said that what China is doing with their organ harvesting industry is criminal. | ||
| So China is a criminal organization. | ||
| The CCP is a criminal organization committing atrocious crimes against its own people and people in other lands as well. | ||
| And they must be taken into account. | ||
| The Vatican is hand in glove with the CCP in the persecution of Christians. | ||
| The underground churches are being raised and they're being dragged out of their homes and their pastors and priests are being thrown into prison. | ||
| And the CCP has no respect for the Vatican's deal that they made with them, which is a We have no idea what the provisions of that deal are, but they have reneged on that deal with the Vatican. | ||
| They're appointing their own bishops and creating a database for these priests and bishops and even the parishioners so that they can really get an intense look at who these people who are still faithful in China are, because they are the greatest threat to Uh, the Communists hold on China. | ||
| Okay, one more time. | ||
| 340 million, I just want to make sure you got it right, 340 million Christians today are being persecuted for their faith. | ||
| Heavily persecuted. | ||
| Heavily persecuted today. | ||
| We're going to have Didi back in the studio when we get back. | ||
| The whole week it's about the persecution of faith-based communities and particularly looking at the persecution of Christians and Jews throughout the world. | ||
| Didi, how do people get access to you? | ||
| How do they follow you on social media? | ||
| How do they get to your website? | ||

Here's another thing. | |
| Here's another Biden thing. | ||

I have a friend over in Crystal City. | |
| Her father was shot once every hour for eight hours, starting at his ankles, for being a Baha'i. | ||
| Done what? | ||
| With his ankles? | ||

unidentified
|
They shot him every hour, starting at his ankles, going up his body, once an hour. | |
| Because he was Baha'i. | ||
| Getting to the detour of the torture, it's unbelievable. | ||

|
So why would we join? | |
| 340 million Christians today. | ||
| If you're a Christian out there, or anybody in the faith-based community, heavily persecuted. | ||
| Heavily persecuted is defined as? | ||
| It's defined as the kinds of things that Didi was talking about. | ||
| It's not just your routine hardship in terms of being unable to get a job or, you know, get food. | ||
| It's actually being tortured. | ||
| It's actually being driven from your homes into terrible privation. | ||
| It's actually being killed. | ||
| Now, to continue on the Trump administration, what we're going to do is have this conference in July. | ||
| The Sam Brownberg. | ||
| July 13th to 15th. | ||
| 13th to 15th. | ||
| We're going to do a run-up every week to that conference by having specialists talk about it. | ||
| We've got to. | ||
| We've got to make this the biggest thing. | ||
| It has to come to this city and put Biden and these secularists and these atheists and these materialists on notice. | ||
| That people of all faiths are not going to put up with it anymore. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And far from holding them accountable, to Pam's point, Joe Biden is about rewarding the Iranians. | ||
| He's about getting them more money. | ||
| He's about getting the sanctions removed. | ||
| This is criminal. | ||
| And playing softball. | ||
| Okay, we got Bernie Kerik now. | ||
| Let's go to Bernie. | ||
| Bernie's in the chair. | ||
| Bernie, one of the great law enforcement, former police commissioner of New York City, also the wingman of Rudy Giuliani. | ||
| So, Bernie, we got Bernie. | ||
| First off, Bernie, I know you're there, we want to talk about law and order, but look, you were doing all the investigations for Rudy and for the big steal and all of this. | ||
| What's the attitude down there you see in CPAC, Bernie's live from CPAC today, about what happened on November 3rd, and do people still have the fight that they want to get the receipts, they want to get some platform to adjudicate this, to adjudicate the stealing of this election? | ||
| They want it outed. | ||
| That's what they want. | ||
| They want it outed. | ||
| And I've run into a bunch of senators, a bunch of state assembly people from various states, from the swing states that are actually here that we worked with during the roadshow to prove what happened in the election. | ||
| They're all here. | ||
| Everybody's talking about it. | ||
| People are outraged at what happened and they want to get it out. | ||
| Are they going to be, look, the mainstream media, you know, says that it's fraudulent, there's no basis to this. | ||
| Is this group down there prepared to do whatever it takes, coloring within the lines, to make sure that we get some venue, whether it's her new 9-11 commission, Pelosi's, or whatever venue, that we can properly present these facts to the American people, and most importantly, present them back into the states, so the General Assemblies, the state assemblies, start taking action in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, and in Arizona? | ||
| Sir? | ||
| Well, I think the people here, I think they're into it. | ||
| I think they want it done. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, Steve, I'm somebody that was against, you know, I'm not for these commissions because most of the time nothing comes out of them. | ||
| But if Pelosi wants a commission to look at the election, look at the outcome of the election, the Republican Party And Donald Trump have to push in that commission to get the facts out. | ||
| The real facts, the real receipts, the real evidence, the overwhelming evidence that the election was stolen. | ||
| Bernie, I want to pivot right now. | ||
| New York City, your beloved New York City, is basically descending into anarchy and chaos. | ||
| There's no other way to say it, right? | ||
| You were up there in your panel. | ||
| You're one of the top law and order guys in the country. | ||
| What's happening at CPAC to now bring to the American people, because the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't want to talk about Portland, Chicago, Seattle, or particularly New York City. | ||
| From CPAC, is the message getting out, we've got to address this law and order issue? | ||
| I think there's two things, Steve, that has to happen, and this is what people are talking about. | ||
| One, we have to address the law and order issue. | ||
| We have to pull these Democrats out of these cities that's not going to take care of those cities, where crime is rising, where shootings are rising, murders at an all-time high. | ||
| But more importantly, Steve, and I stressed this yesterday, We have to start working on the local elections. | ||
| We have to stop putting people in city councils and freeholders and mayors of smaller towns that are these Marxist left-wing radicals. | ||
| Because if we don't stop that, they wind up in Congress, in the Senate, and they wind up in the White House like we have now. | ||
| Hey Bernie, can you hold over for the break? | ||
| I've got a couple of things I want to go through with you. | ||
| We've got Sam Faddis, we've got Attorney General Paxson, we've got Trevor Loudon, we've got Colonel Scott Mills, John Mills, we've got Scott Pressler, Penny Nance. | ||
| This is original gangsters. | ||
| Okay, this is the OGs we're bringing in right now with Bernie Kerik. | ||
| Okay, take a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return with our CPAC coverage. | ||
| I've got Cold Warrior anti-communist Frank Gaffney and the one and only Pam Pryor from the State Department. | ||
| Next, in The War Room. | ||

| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we're going to go back to live to CPAC with the one and only Bernie Kerrick. | ||
| Bernie, one of the things we have not had enough time to focus on here in the War Room, and we're going to spend more time on it in the next days and weeks ahead, is the law and order issue in our cities. | ||
| Our cities right now are bordering on anarchy, right? | ||
| New York City is unsafe. | ||
| And I've lived around New York City or in New York City on and off for 40 years, right? | ||
| Greatest city on earth. | ||
| And man, you can't even walk down the street today unless you've got a look over your shoulder. | ||
| It's unacceptable. | ||
| So we're going to spend more time on that. | ||
| Bernie, how do people follow you during the day? | ||
| What's your social media coordinates? | ||
| Bernard Carrick on Twitter. | ||
| One word, you can get me there. | ||
| Send me a DM and I'll get back to you. | ||
| Bernie, thank you so much. | ||
| You're a great patriot. | ||
| In particular, you're one of the leaders in this law and order movement throughout the nation. | ||
| Something we've got to put on the top agenda, because I'll tell you, the Biden administration is going to look the other way. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I want to come back into the war room here in Washington, D.C. | ||
| Next up, Sam Faddis. | ||

Do you remember the night we won in New York? | |
| We're down at the Hilton. | ||
| Then the next night, and remember we couldn't get out of the Trump Tower? | ||
| Hold on, remember we went back and they were there, they never left. | ||
| It was from 2.30 in the morning. | ||
| They were around that hill heckling people. | ||
| My dad was 98 years old, 97 years old. | ||
| They're down there heckling. | ||
| Everybody came out from the Trump thing. | ||
| And then around outside of Trump Tower, They didn't leave. | ||
| They started the resistance. | ||
| Hey, no offense. | ||
| It worked. | ||
| We're doing the same thing. | ||
| We didn't do any whining. | ||
| It's called politics. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| We're going to give as good as we got. | ||
| And I don't want to hear all this nonsense about the domestic terrorism. | ||
| It was Trevor Loudon and Frank Gaffney. | ||
| People have been talking about this for years, about what they were going to try to do. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Nobody paid attention, or didn't pay attention enough, and now it's here. | ||
| We have an open border. | ||
| Here's what we got. | ||
| We got a border that's open, schools that close, and a wall around the Capitol. | ||
| That's going to be permanent. | ||
| You know, they moved yesterday to make it permanent. | ||
| So this is... It wasn't so much that we were talking about what they were going to do, Steve. | ||
| It's we were talking about what they were doing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They were building this. | ||
| They were putting into place both policies As well as the infrastructure and personnel to actually accomplish the takedown of the United States. | ||
| And we've called it the Red-Green Axis. | ||
| One of the things that hopefully we'll have a little bit of a chance to talk about, Steve, is we did a book about this in 2016, Claire Lopez and I, in which we talked about the takedown of America. | ||
| Through collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood and the left of the Obama administration. | ||
| And they put into place this whole idea that what we were up against was violent extremism. | ||
| And we had to counter that violent extremism by that they meant us. | ||
| That was their buzzword. | ||
| Yes, us, yes. | ||
| Not the jihadis. | ||
| This is a whole topic we have to get in every day. | ||
| One of the things is that the Well, let's go to Sam Fetters. | ||
| Sam Fetters is now in studio. | ||
| Sam, great American. | ||
| The author of my favorite article over the last month about the Grokai, right? | ||
| It was fantastic. | ||
| About President Trump being Tiberius Gracchus, which is just amazing. | ||
| Audience loved it, Sam. | ||
| Sam, you're a former CIA officer. | ||
| Talk to us about it. | ||
| Talk to us about where you think the Biden administration is on everything about confronting the number one existential threat we've got, not just as a faith, but as a country and a people and just human beings. | ||
| That would be the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You're an old CIA hand, and I know you wrote a great book about the decline and fall of the CIA. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Where do you think we stand today with the Biden administration? | ||
| Yeah, look, I think we need to understand that the Biden administration is bought and paid for by the Chinese. | ||
| This is not a matter of, like, they're a little weak-kneed, they don't have quite the spine they need. | ||
| Literally, these folks have been bought and paid for, completely co-opted. | ||
| They're playing for the other team, that's where we are. | ||
| That's pretty harsh. | ||
| Media matters are going to be all over us today. | ||
| Sam Faddis is calling these guys bought and paid for and traitors. | ||
| What evidence does Sam Faddis, formerly of the CIA, back that up with? | ||
| Well, look, you could walk through the bios, first of all, of everybody that Joe Biden is appointing to cabinet-level positions and look for yourself, a matter of public record. | ||
| You know, you've got a Secretary of State who just is coming from running what amounts to a propaganda machine at the University of Pennsylvania for the Chinese Communist Party, taking tens of millions of dollars of Chinese money. | ||
| Right, the Biden Center at UPenn, I think there's like 22 million. | ||
| But why did that not, I agree with you, and Blinken was part of it, why did that not really get drilled down on in his confirmation hearing by people that are Republican senators? | ||
| Why is that still kind of a hidden secret, Mr. Sam Faddis? | ||
| Right, well I think this brings us to the state of the GOP, right? | ||
| You've got a large portion of the GOP establishment that is not on board with the MAGA movement, with any of the things that we're talking about. | ||
| They want to roll back the odometer to pre-2016 and let's just forget that any of this happened. | ||
| Why did we not really seriously talk about the fact that the person nominated to be the Interior Secretary was pushed for that position and backed for that position by the Communist Party of the United States, which is aligned completely with the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| Yeah, we effectively ignored that as well. | ||
| We've ignored the fact that the President of the United States, his son, took what? | ||
| 1.5 billion dollars from the State Bank of China at the same time that Joe Biden, then Vice President, was rolling over and giving the South China Sea to the Chinese. | ||
| We acted like that didn't happen. | ||
| We've ignored everything on Hunter's laptop. | ||
| Sam, talk to us about, you know, for many years I had to actually start a special conference across the streets of the Gaffney and really all the patriots could get up there and really talk about what was really happening as became what happened and was the foundational element of the Trump revolution, right? | ||
| The CPAC guys had it totally wrong at that time. | ||
| Gaffney and that crazy crowd, the uninvited, had it right. | ||
| So, what's the energy at CPAC today? | ||
| I think the energy of CPAC today is that the establishment has got to go. | ||
| I mean, I think the focus is on the internal dynamic inside the GOP, which is the rank and file are completely on board with whatever you want to call it, the MAGA agenda on the issue of China. | ||
| We're done. | ||
| We're not pursuing this policy for another generation. | ||
| And yet we've still got folks at the establishment level who are in a different place. | ||
| And that's got to change. | ||
| That's the focus here. | ||
| Sam, we've got about 15 seconds. | ||
| Give your coordinates. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| And magazines and much read. | ||
| How do people get to your content? | ||
| Andmagazine.com. | ||
| Andmagazine.com. | ||
| And we're talking about all these issues every day. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Sam Faddis, a great warrior. | ||
| You've got to go to Amazon and get the book, The Beyond Repair, The Decline and Fall of the CIA. | ||
| You've got to read In Magazine, particularly his article, the latest article about the Gracchi. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| A short commercial break. | ||
| Attorney General Paxton from Texas will join us in the studio. |
