The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
This is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 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... First, I fully support a woman's right to come forward.
And I think it should be encouraged in every way.
I now understand That I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.
It was unintentional.
And I truly and deeply apologize for it.
I feel awful about it.
And frankly, I am embarrassed by it.
steve bannon
Okay, you're, uh...
In the nation's capital, the occupied nation's capital, you've got Raheem Kassam, Stephen K. Bannon, you're in the war room.
And remember, if you're in the arena, you must be in the war room.
It's Wednesday, the 3rd of March, year of our Lord 2021.
Over 38 million downloads on the podcast.
The 55th day of occupation and Mr. Raheem Kassam, how many days before a press conference?
raheem kassam
Coming up on 43.
steve bannon
And by the way, hasn't he already broken the record for not having his joint session?
It's the State of the Union for the first year, the joint session he's already blown through.
Everybody else had already had it except for him.
It's not even on the books.
raheem kassam
Least transparent administration ever.
steve bannon
And this is because they're afraid that the... We're told now, correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Rahim Kassam, that they're afraid that the Capitol is going to get blown up by these radical domestic terrorists that they came and given... They got 55 FBI offices, open investigations, but no... I mean how many arrests they got?
raheem kassam
Can I ask a question?
How far is the Capitol from where we're sitting?
steve bannon
A couple hundred yards.
raheem kassam
If they had credible intelligence, why isn't this whole area evacuated?
steve bannon
I don't know.
They're trying to blow the thing up.
unidentified
They're putting us in danger!
steve bannon
I guess the head of the new Capitol Police says it's all this IC chatter.
It's absurd.
unidentified
John Frederick's Radio Network, including our new addition... By the way, the new head of Capitol Police happens to be a Joe Biden donor.
steve bannon
I'm so shocked.
WMLB, AM 1690 in Metro Atlanta.
Very honored to have you part of the John Fredericks Radio Network with the stations up in Virginia and particularly my hometown of Richmond.
We're on Real America's Voice, Dischannel 219, Comcast 113.
We're on both the Bird and in cable and Real America's Voice is everywhere, streaming service of the Trump Revolution.
On RumbleGab, Telegram, Roku, Pluto, Vizio, everywhere.
We meet you where you are.
We're also on all the big sites streaming non-stop, GNews, GTV, and Mandarin.
I want to bring in Peter Navarro, Dr. Peter Navarro.
Dr. Navarro, we opened with this, and it can't be Rahim, I don't even know how to describe it.
I don't know who he was trying to accomplish strategically or politically, but this press conference this afternoon, but Dr. Navarro, the reason I wanted you to start today, we kind of moved around the lineup with Phil, because you've had many, many interactions.
People may not know this, or not enough people I don't think know it, but Peter Navarro Besides being the assistant to the President, when they say assistant, that means a direct report to the President of the United States for trade and manufacturing, really for, it was the job czar of getting jobs back here, you know, taking factories back from the Chinese Communist Party, bringing them back to the U.S.
You also were a critical part of the task force and you were responsible for all the kind of logistics of the equipment and all the things we talked about, capacity utilization, particularly with ventilators and PPE.
I mean, you were an evangelist for all this.
You had many, many, many interactions.
First of all, that was not a cold open.
That was a warm, weepy open.
I couldn't... I mean, is anybody really going to buy that crap?
the guy you know is the governor of New York, sir?
peter navarro
First of all, that was not a cold open.
unidentified
That was a warm, weepy open.
peter navarro
I couldn't, I mean, is anybody really going to buy that crap?
I mean, what he says, it's like, now I understand how I acted.
Dude, the way you acted was not about all of what's going on with Me Too, it was how you killed senior citizens with your stupid policy.
There was a beautiful DeSantos interview with Mark Levin, the great one as they say, on Saturday where DeSantos described In detail, how the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC, wanted to force the state of Florida to take seniors and put them back in nursing homes.
That was the Cuomo policy.
Cuomo didn't do that.
He put them in there, he killed seniors.
What did DeSantos do?
He said no to the CDC, not doing that.
And he took care of his seniors.
So this thing with Cuomo, this is pure deflection.
This is like Checker's speech.
He's channeling Richard Nixon.
Warm weepy-o, but not a cold-o.
But man, if anybody did anything but laugh at that, then they missed the lead.
steve bannon
I'm fired up today, Steve.
I just want to tell our audience, we actually had, because of Dr. Navarro, we actually had the poll from Mark Levinson.
Santos was magnificent about the data, but it took too long and we knew that Navarro would do it more heated.
DeSantis was very matter-of-fact.
We knew that Navarro would come in hot.
So I just want to make sure the audience understands something.
On signal versus noise and about politics.
This is the point.
All of this thing right here is a total deflection and a misdirection play.
This is about How people died during the height of this pandemic, why they died, and where they died, okay?
And what were the decisions that were made, and what were they made upon?
Dr. Peter Navarro and Donald J. Trump Moved heaven and earth, not just for ventilators, but the USS Comfort was reconfigured and sent from Norfolk Naval Station, which the President took a helicopter down to and sent it up, right as you call it, a national emergency.
Sent it to New York City Harbor, okay, on the docked on the west side.
You changed the Jacob Javits Center, that massive convention center where Comic-Con and everything's held.
Changed that to a field hospital, state-of-the-art.
You built an Army field hospital.
In Central Park, Samaritan's Purse, Billy Graham, and other Christian groups.
Billy Graham, I think, spent, his organization spent $2 million, all to be there for the people of New York.
And what did Cuomo do, Dr. Navarro?
He looked at all those opportunities and left them empty, because what decision did he... Did Santa saw Dad and say, keep them out?
What did Cuomo do?
peter navarro
It's worse than this, okay?
This guy is so abusive, okay?
He would call me and beg me.
Him and de Blasio, they both say, hey, we need this, we need that.
I would move heaven, earth, and FEMA.
I love to say, yo, we got trucks, we got planes, we got trains.
unidentified
Boom!
peter navarro
I could get stuff out the door in the heat of that moment in 29 minutes.
Right?
But every time we do that, we help them.
Not because we want any favors, but because we wanted to save lives.
All we would get from the back of the hand.
And the untold story here, Steve, with Cuomo, is one of the reasons why people died in New York that didn't have to.
One of the reasons why they didn't use all of the aid that we threw them from the Trump administration.
Because Bill de Blasio and Cuomo could not get along, okay?
They were constantly bickering.
De Blasio would tell me, don't send this stuff to Albany, I'll never get it.
I mean, what?
People are dying in New York, and de Blasio's got to worry about the belligerent bully Cuomo taking his PPE and sending it to somewhere else other than Manhattan or Brooklyn or Queens.
I mean, this was like, this guy, I mean, If you're into shouting, Freud, like, okay, you're enjoying this.
Because that guy was so friggin' smug during his Emmy Award-winning press conference, and all he did was spin a bunch of lies.
There was no fact check from CNN or MSNBC.
He got away with it.
The only reason why they're piling on him now, you know why, right?
They want to clear the field in 2024 for Kamala Harris.
Get him, get Newsom out of the way.
This guy's going down, Steve. 2024?
That was disgraceful.
What I just saw in your warm, weepy open, that's the worst lying politician sack of you-know-what I have ever seen because nobody who knows Cuomo is going to buy that.
If you know that man, You're not buying that contrition, okay?
I still remember his Fredo sticking that swab, that huge swab up the nose, and then laughing their way while senior citizens are dying.
steve bannon
Is that the Chinese anal swab?
raheem kassam
Yeah, that is.
No, that was the prototype.
unidentified
That was the Chinese anal swab.
steve bannon
When I said come in hot, Navar, you came in hot.
Rahim.
raheem kassam
Don't give Peter the leeway.
You tell him come in cold, he'll come in hot.
When you tell him to come in hot, he can't touch it.
Listen, Peter, you've got a lot of great fans in the live chat as well.
People are noticing, said, well, Dr. Navarro's got some guns on him there as well.
unidentified
So, Peter, you're going to have to maybe start giving the audience some fitness tips.
peter navarro
I'm getting ready to go a few rounds with Cuomo, that's all.
I'm ready.
raheem kassam
Let me ask you this.
peter navarro
I'm ready for the both of them.
unidentified
Me and Bannon are taking on Fredo and...
peter navarro
And Andrew, man, we're going full 15 now.
raheem kassam
Rhetorically, of course.
There's no violence here.
Let me ask you this.
Look, what we're seeing here now is a total unraveling of last year's everything, really.
I mean, you look at Newsom, you look at Cuomo, you look at everything that's happening, everything we were told would happen if the Republican states reopened, reopened early and didn't take this as seriously as the Liberal ones.
It's all been false.
It's all been fraudulent.
It's all been fake.
And it culminates, you know, yesterday with Governor Abbott saying, you know what?
We are not going to enforce mask mandates across the state of Texas either.
So, Peter, just give us your, give us your, because you've seen a lot of scientism over the last couple of years.
Give us your take on how the people of this country are seeing the distinction between the liberal states and the Republican states as it pertains to the handling of COVID-19, the CCP virus.
peter navarro
You know, there was a bright, shiny moment fueled by the kind of the CNN death machine Back March and April when it's the Fauci kind of lock everything down.
It's we know what's best for you.
It's like Fauci knows best kind of stuff like that.
But I remember I was going over some notes today.
I remember in April, I did an interview with Alan Rappaport in the New York Times.
And it was like, I'm seeing I'm seeing the chessboard.
It's like, wait, wait a minute.
It's like people, more people.
We're going to lose more people dying if we lock this thing down too tight from depression, alcoholism, opioid use, just not to mention all the economic loss.
And I think that one of the genius parts of DeSantis and the governor in Texas and Kristi Noem, the next vice president candidate in 2024, maybe.
They saw a different reality.
It wasn't a one-size-fits-all.
And we've learned now that living with the virus, we don't have to shut everything down.
But what we've got, let's not forget.
Borders open, schools closed.
We've become blue and red.
steve bannon
But hang on, hang on a second.
I want to go back to something that you taught us back in the spring.
And this is what really, the subtext of DeSantis, targeted interventions.
You don't have to shut everything down.
unidentified
We did, and by the way, we were advocates initially.
steve bannon
Targeted interventions.
What did you mean by targeted interventions?
And why did people, more people, except for DeSantis, not pick that up?
Particularly Murphy, the governor of Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania.
peter navarro
Steve, I blame CNN and MSNBC and the political environment.
The daily frenzy of those anchors in their frenzy to blame the president because they knew if they could drag him down They could beat him in the election.
So it was just like one big hyperbole machine every day.
And as he was suffering in the polls, these Democrats were thinking, oh, that means I'll go up in the polls.
So you look at Newsom and Cuomo, coast to coast, two of the biggest states in the union, they embrace the whole lockdown.
and with their press conferences and all of that.
But it turns out that it didn't really work.
If you put people locked down in their houses rather than let them move about with reasonable social distancing and things like that, you didn't wind up getting as much or more infections.
So this has been a learning experience for us all, but I think the learning experience has been that we thought smarter than the politicos.
And again, I blame the media a lot for this because it looked like the best thing to do was to step on people.
But the other thing that's happening, Stephen, this is horrible.
I spent 25 years in higher education.
We're going to have a productivity shock from the year to two years we're going to lose in terms of our students.
I'm telling you, internationally, they were already behind.
It's not a pretty picture when you compare our performance, especially in STEM education, with the Germany's and the Japan's and the Taiwan's of this world.
We need to get our act together, and it's... Peter, we've got to bounce.
steve bannon
Can you give your website people can go to?
We're going to have to get to the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, both coming after Navarro and Bannon about economic populism.
What's your handle?
peter navarro
PeterNavarro.com, RealPNavarro on Twitter, and I really want to talk about that either today or tomorrow with the two of you.
steve bannon
We'll see you tomorrow.
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
In the old days, when we were doing the Breitbart Radio Show on weekends, in the morning, at SiriusXM, you know, we had stand-up, we had a stand-up desk, and Rahim was always my wingman on that.
In fact, when I went to the campaign, I called him up and said, hey, starting Monday, you're not the co-host, you're the host.
He goes, why?
He says, I said, you'll read it in the paper.
I said, I don't read the paper.
And I tell you, he's getting very upset.
He wants us to go back to the stand-up desk because he's getting very upset that Dr. Navarro comes in here hot all the time.
He's standing up, he's moving around.
raheem kassam
I saw Navarro, he's got, you know, because he's standing, you've got all sorts of more ability to shift around.
There's more energy.
I think we take a vote.
Let us know in the live chat.
Standing or sitting?
I want to stand.
steve bannon
I think I vote for stand too.
We'll talk to the producers on this.
Listen, talking about energy.
Look, everybody out there is a patriot warrior.
That's why people listen to the show.
That's why people all over the world come here.
And the reason is we're about human action and we're about human agency.
We provide information, data, mental models for you to make your own decisions, come to your own conclusions.
We have all the groups to go to.
In fact, we've got the great Phil Kline coming in next from the Amistad Project of Thomas More Society.
We always give you access, not just to the best thinkers, but to the best sites.
The thing that we've now set up is warroomdefense.com, the War Room Defense Pack.
procured a million bottles of zinc and a million bottles of the vitamin D3. It's all free to you.
You got to pay shipping and handling, but just go there and see what the entire program is. Okay.
We followed Rosemary Gibson, all sourced here in the United States, manufactured here in the United States with this great packaging. He's got the helmet of the Spartans, the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. So to be part of this program.
We need you healthy.
We need your immune system healthy.
Most importantly, we need energy, energy, energy for action, action, action.
So make sure you go there today and become a part of this program, warroomdefense.com, the War Room Defense Pack.
And I want to turn to Phil Klein, the great Phil Klein from Amistad Project, Thomas Moore.
So listen, Phil, we've just started in WMLB, 6 a.m.
1690 in Atlanta, adding another station in Metro Atlanta.
Great folks down there.
The Georgia House and this huge controversy.
As I said, as Georgia goes, so goes the nation.
As the nation goes, so goes the world.
Georgia is absolutely central in 2022, 2024 and beyond.
Stacey Abrams, She showed how he got it done.
She cut that consent deal, right?
Nobody knew about.
And actually, you know, at the end of the day, their votes counted, not the legal ones that could be certified.
They passed these seven measures in the House, including kind of a shout out to you about the public-private partnerships that you've been beating the drum on and are still in court on this Zuckerberg situation and Facebook putting up, I think, $400 million.
Number one, What do you think of the legislation there?
And walk us through the whole battlefield all over the nation of what the state legislatures and the courts are still doing to rectify and come to some conclusion on November 3rd that'll lead us forward into 2022 and 2024, sir.
unidentified
Well, the Georgia legislation doesn't get it done.
Essentially, what it does is it says that private monies can be accepted by local governments if appropriated by the local government.
And that's exactly what they did this last time.
What they need to say is no private money unless it flows through the legislature.
The state legislature has the responsibility under federal law and the United States Constitution to make sure that each voter is treated equally.
That's a vital importance in an election.
It's a bedrock of American jurisprudence and they didn't this last time because Zuckerberg's money flowed directly to the urban core where it dictated how they ran the election and we created a two-tier election system.
So unless they fix that, they're putting window dressing on this and not doing anything to get, to bring about the change that's needed.
And it's important, Steve.
steve bannon
I'm sorry.
But hang on, just for our audience, because we expand the audience so much, just explain briefly, what did Zuckerberg do that from his point of view was quite brilliant?
And of course, you're the guy that unearthed it.
Walk through what he exactly did.
unidentified
He followed the game plan of David Plouffe, Obama's former campaign manager, to use government to put their thumb on the scale to turn out Democrat voters for Biden, while blue state governors shut down in-person polling places and made it harder for Republicans to vote.
So he gave $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which is a leftist group that formed out of an organization that George Soros funded in 2012.
They went out to the Urban Core.
They're the ones who paid the election officials.
They're the ones who ran the election.
They're the ones who told them how to do it.
Private interests running our elections.
And as a result, we had ballot harvesting.
They claimed it was necessary under COVID.
We had Zuckerboxes dropped at street corners in the urban core.
I'll give you one example.
In Philadelphia, or Delaware County, just south of Philadelphia, there was one Zuckerbox, strong Democrat area, one Zuckerbox every four square miles.
In the 59 counties that Trump won, one Zuckerbox for every 1,159 square miles.
They made it harder to vote in the rural areas.
They made it impossible not to vote in the cities.
And it was targeted for the purpose of electing Joe Biden as president.
Government can't play that game, and this bill doesn't fix the problem.
The state legislatures treat voters equally.
They have to under federal law and constitutionally, they have to do so as well.
They distribute funds and manage the election fairly in all locations.
But when you allow, I'll give you another example.
Green Bay, Wisconsin spent $47 a voter.
They had professional witnesses that they hired to go sign on to absentee ballots.
They targeted areas to get people to turn out their ballots.
The government did.
The rest of Wisconsin and the rural areas, $4 a voter.
That's not the way this should work.
It's the strategy of the Democrat Party of the Deep South around the turn of the 20th century when they targeted the white vote for turnout and they suppressed the black vote.
Now it's just a different demographic.
It's Republicans and Democrats.
And we've got to put a stop to it.
steve bannon
So talk to us about how do you fix this bill?
How would you fix this bill in Georgia?
What would you do?
What would you recommend?
unidentified
Real simple.
That no private funds for elections unless appropriated through the state legislature and consistent with their plan filed under federal law, their election plan.
steve bannon
Can you walk us through the rest of the country where you think the most important fights are going on right now to make sure we don't have a reprise of November 3rd, 2020?
unidentified
Well, they're happening everywhere.
Additionally, in the courts with our litigation, we're challenging the use of these private funds.
and we continue to pursue discovery and we're obtaining additional information which shows an unprecedented coordination between the private sector and the left and government even sharing sensitive citizen data with the private sector to be used and possibly monetized by the left in elections. It's happening in all the swing states. You know I've been on the phone in Iowa, I've been on the phone in Texas, I've been on the phone in all the swing states.
Everybody's trying to find the right legislation.
And Steve, if I can push one reform, which I think is the most significant reform we can do, and it's simple, it is for the legislature to have a standing joint committee of the House and Senate that has subpoena and investigatory power that is charged with this.
They must review the process of the election.
They must issue a report as to whether it was done lawfully.
If not, where were the laws broken?
And here they were broken in several places.
Whether you can have faith in the outcome.
And then the legislature must vote on the certification of the election.
Not delegate it to local officials who don't have the authority to exercise their personal discretion and simply sign off.
On an election result.
The legislature has to get engaged.
steve bannon
That's what the Constitution says. We only got a couple of them. By the way, that's what Eastman was arguing the pen should do at sending it back, right?
Not to flip the votes and send it back for review. Real quickly, I've got a couple of minutes. If you got this change at the state legislature level that you're saying, hey, it's a simple change, after November 3rd, would you and others not have run into court, but you would go into these joint committees in the state legislatures in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona?
Would you have gone to this joint commission that you want set up and not go to court?
Is that what you're trying to accomplish?
unidentified
And that way the public gets to see it, there's input, there's accountability for decision making, and there's the authority to take a look at these things.
Too much happens behind closed doors now.
We need to go to paper, we need the legislature to be accountable, we need to take the time to do it right, and we need to keep private money out of running the government.
steve bannon
Real quickly, Phil, you say go to paper, but are you with me?
Look, I'm not picking on Dominion Systems or any of these, Diebold, whoever makes these things.
I think right now, make it a national holiday, let the high school kids get involved with civic classes, but go back to 100% paper, get out of the machines.
What say you, sir?
unidentified
Absolutely.
Elections need to be transparent and the reality is none of us can see inside the computer to see if it's working correctly.
We have to rely on experts.
You put five experts in a room, they're all going to disagree on what day it is.
America needs to be in the counting room and understand and be able to view the count.
raheem kassam
Do you remember when it was the left that wanted corporate money out of everything?
steve bannon
That's before the corporations got woke.
Phil, give people your social media contact points and how they get to you and how they follow the Amistad Project and the Thomas More Society, all the work you're doing both in the courts today and what you're recommending for the state legislatures.
unidentified
You bet.
Got-freedom.com.
Got-freedom.com.
One of the things, Steve, if I can add this, because we've got litigation and we struck down Governor Wolf's emergency orders.
That case is probably going to go up to the United States Supreme Court.
I encourage you to take a look at the most mammoth wealth shift in United States history during the lockdowns and who got richer.
And it is Big Tech and Main Street business lost.
And then you see Big Tech's alliance with the left and the corporate oligarchy we have forming here.
And you see all of their support for continued lockdown, supposedly in the name of safety.
What we have is the use of fear to claim these emergency police powers to shut down the Bill of Rights.
And the left loves it.
Because they can achieve policy objectives they can't achieve through the democratic process.
It's a real danger and we have to fight this government by fiat.
steve bannon
You're saying no conspiracy, but there are no coincidences.
OK, Phil Klein, thank you very much for joining us and putting the fear of God in us.
Thank you very much, Rahim.
raheem kassam
Speaking of no coincidences, and on Phil's point, I just published a new story.
It's up as the lead on the national polls.
The headline is, Fauci's daughter is a software engineer at Twitter.
The company which suspends people for disagreeing with her father.
steve bannon
With Dr. Fauci.
raheem kassam
How about that?
steve bannon
I think it permanently took us down a little bit.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to return with El Todd Wood from Creative Destruction Media.
He's got thoughts about the legislation in Georgia and how it impacts the nation.
unidentified
Next, you're 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. Bannon.
steve bannon
This entire show is about action, action, action, and particularly your action.
The reason the show is so powerful is this audience.
You guys are action-oriented.
This is about human action and human agency.
It's about your agency and your empowerment.
One thing that we focus on here is having energy and being high-energy all throughout the day as we're doing the show at night, and then we're obviously live in studio.
In fact, Rahim has now mentioned he wants to have stand-up, has the table stand-up like he used to in the old days.
I think we might do that.
One of the things, you need a great night of sleep.
In order to have the energy, particularly with Raheem Kassam, these pillows change his life.
We now got a new sponsor, the MyPillow.
Mike Lindell and the crowd at MyPillow.
Go to MyPillow.com.
Put in promo code WAROOM.
unidentified
WAROOM.
steve bannon
That's your promo code.
You've got up to 66% off on certain products.
And we've got a historic $40 savings on the queen-size premium MyPillow.
That's only $29.98 if you go now.
Go to MyPillow.com, promo code WAROOM, or call 800.
873-1062.
Look, the MyPillow product is the best around, bar none.
unidentified
I'm interrupting this to bring you a special offer!
steve bannon
Rahim's the one that turned me on to because it changed his life and he became much more high energy and I will do anything to make sure Rahim is more high energy and more focused on his work and less focused at Morton's.
Yes, sir.
raheem kassam
Sometimes I take MyPillow to Morton's.
But genuinely, seriously, so as a child, and I never endorse products, it's just not something I do, but as a child I used to sleep on this very comfortable cushy pillow, could not find anything like it as an adult, just couldn't find it.
And then, It was actually a couple of days after.
You mentioned that thing where you told me I have to stay here and host the show?
steve bannon
Yes.
raheem kassam
A couple of days after, I'm furnishing an apartment, and I'm in the store, and I see the thing, and it's in a box, and I'm like, that's funny, that's not my plan.
Might as well try it.
Got it.
First night, I was out.
And I stayed out.
steve bannon
That's when I told you we were going to host the Breitbart Show, and I had to go to the campaign.
That's why the first episode was so good.
Wow.
You were on fire back then.
Okay, we've got two of the top editors, I think, in the new emerging conservative media.
We're going to have Matt Palumbo in a second from the Bongino Report.
He's got a new book out about, guess who?
Cuomo, right?
And he's got insights about this press conference today.
I want to start with L. Todd Wood over at Creative Destruction Media, one of my favorite sites.
He put up a piece.
So Todd, we've been talking about, you know, we're now live at WMLB, 1690 a.m.
unidentified
in Atlanta.
steve bannon
We've been following this Georgia situation since after November 3rd with John Fredericks of the John Fredericks Radio Network.
He's basically camped out down there.
They passed this legislation in the House.
It has seven big factors.
We just had Phil Kline on.
He's not particularly happy about the aspect he knows about, which is the Zuckerberg aspect of it.
But you've got a piece up on creative destruction.
That you're not happy about it at all.
You think it's smoke and mirrors.
Why is that?
We were pretty glad when we saw it the other day.
Because this has national implications.
Georgia is the first one out of the box on this.
They're a key state.
They're a key battleground state.
Sir, what's your beef?
What's your problem with it?
unidentified
Look, we've had a team on the ground for months now in Georgia looking at everything the legislature is doing and also in the executive branch.
And we're going to have multiple articles coming out which oust their corruption.
And also gets to the bottom of what these bills actually do.
And John Fredericks did a great job the other day outlining what the bills do do.
But what people are not aware of is what they do not do.
And what they do not do is provide Georgians verifiable, auditable, transparent voting.
Because the machines, at the end of the day, come down to putting all the tallies on a QR code, which nobody knows what's in that QR code.
This has been an issue for multiple years in Georgia.
They have basically spent three to four years putting this system in, and now it's very hard to pull out by the roots.
What we need is to make ballot images publicly available.
We need people to be able to go in and audit what these machines produce.
And we need to put the ballot images up on the website.
steve bannon
Todd, this gets the whole thing with Dr. Sheehan.
Let me ask you a question.
Why do we even have machines at all?
Do you think, after your investigation, you've got Tim O'Brien, could we just take the machines out and go back to a hand count of paper ballots, make it a holiday, I don't know, get high school kids, make it a civic exercise, put America into the counting room, as Phil Klein says, Can we go to that system, even if it takes you a day to count?
There won't be all this complaint about, no, this adjudication, this code, this went to a server in Frankfurt and they had a gun battle.
The CCP was doing it.
Isn't it just pull them, and I'm not picking on Dominion, just pull the machines out and go back to the old way.
Is that what we should do?
unidentified
We should do that.
And what people need to realize is that the Georgia election, you know, advocacy groups, including Garland Favarito at VoterGA.org, Has been trying to do this for years, and the legislature has basically ignored all the advice, all the affidavits, all the testimony, all the what Texas and other states have provided as to why these machines are not verifiable.
You can't audit the vote, and we've seen that in Georgia.
These audits were a sham, and I'm not the technical guy, but you could have Garland back on and let him walk through exactly Why these audits were garbage.
So, you know, that's the problem.
steve bannon
We've got to bounce.
I just want to go back over.
Creative Destruction, you've got a team in Georgia doing additional investigative reporting.
You're going to have more analysis on this bill.
You also said something about corruption.
Are you targeting?
Are you going to look at people like Kemp, people like the male model that's the Lieutenant Governor?
unidentified
Within the next week, we're going to have a massive piece on the Raffensperger Secretary of State Office and all the Pinocchios that exist within that organization.
So yes, that is coming.
steve bannon
How do they, I know, I know that social media is trying to take you down all the time, but where, how can people get access to you during the day and how they get to creative destruction media?
unidentified
Well, I'm on gabparler at ltodwood.com.
Uh, cdm.press is our short code.
Um, and you can get us that way.
And that's the best way to find the site, all of our sites, uh, internationally and also in the U S uh, but yes, we're deplatformed off all the legacy social media at this point.
steve bannon
L. Todd Wood, the publisher and founder of Creative Destruction Media.
Big investigation down in Georgia.
Thank you, sir.
Look forward to when the investigations break.
Want to have you back on.
Talk about a guy that timed an investigation right.
Matt Palumbo, the young firebrand, running Dan Bongino's amazing Bongino Report.
It's another must-have.
We've got like 20 sites we talk about all the time, from Zero Hedge to the Bongino Report.
This is creative destruction.
Bongino is one that you've got to go to every day, like Populous Press, like Gateway Pundit, like Citizens Free Press.
These are must-haves.
You do a great job of curating, Matt.
Just incredible.
I know Dan's very, very proud of the job you're doing.
Thank you, Steve.
Your book, the timing is, your book on Cuomo and de Blasio, and really Cuomo, is absolutely stunning, the timing of it.
You saw today, we don't have time but we're going to play the thing, he's weeping, he's crying, he's kind of apologizing but he's not apologizing.
Navarro's on in the first segment, said this is a misdirection play, go back, go back right now to the nursing homes, that's the problem.
You wrote the book.
Palumbo, where do we stand on this?
Was this totally funny?
Was this an act?
Should he get an Emmy next year, or this year, for his acting today, like he got for his press conferences last year?
matt palumbo
Well, I would actually say yes, because the press conference was a very, I guess, interesting juxtaposition with reality.
You know, just yesterday, the state legislature of New York voted to strip Cuomo of his emergency powers.
Now, the state legislature of New York was overwhelmingly Democrats, and it's mostly actually Democrats, and obviously Republicans, too, called for him to resign.
Also, he retained a lawyer for the sexual harassment allegations yesterday, and the lawyer had worked with other figures such as Harvey Weinstein.
So clearly, this is something he was taking very seriously.
Clearly, consequences could be around the corner.
That being said, you know, he billed this press conference as a coronavirus briefing with an announcement at the end.
There was no mention of sexual harassment.
We just had to kind of decipher that that's what he was going to talk about.
And, you know, he got through the briefing, and then at the end just went, you know, oh, and to address that other thing that's been in the news, and then just kind of, you know,
Played it off as a learning experience and you know, maybe that would be acceptable if he was 17 and not 63 But I don't think anyone's buying it and furthermore and this is a I think one of the great ironies of this is just two years ago Cuomo signed a bill into law in New York that lowered the bar for sexual harassment The language was as such that anything that's considered more than a minor inconvenience and that category is sexual harassment and can be prosecuted as such so You know, if he does go down for this, it's going to be his fault twice.
A, that he did it, and then B, that he signed a law that lowered the bar on what counts as sexual harassment.
raheem kassam
You know, Matt, my first question that probably jumped into my mind when I thought about you coming on this afternoon was, do you regret not calling the book Creep and Creepier?
No, seriously, because these people, I mean, Dumb and Dumber, honestly, I think undersells how nefarious this duo are, and I think it's a book that... Do you think it comes across as creepy?
Oh, my goodness.
I mean, you know, and by the way... This is what I don't understand about Palumbo.
steve bannon
This is what I don't understand.
He was held up as the bow idol.
I mean, his press conference.
Remember, every day was national.
We were doing the show, WABC picked up our show because the pandemic said, you're the only guys know anything about it.
His shows were nationally televised on CNN.
He won an Emmy.
He had a bestselling book.
I mean, this guy was the biggest.
Remember, they were talking about switching out Joe Biden for Cuomo in the spring.
raheem kassam
But look at what it goes to show you, and Matt, I want your thoughts on this as well.
You know, all of these scandal-rocked Democrat governors, they come back, they get in your face, and they say, I'm not going anywhere.
You know, Northam in Virginia, Mr. Blackface, what's happening in California right now, Cuomo, they are all, I mean, if this happened, the problem is if this happened to any establishment Republicans, they would have fallen on their sword immediately and done the honorable thing and resigned.
You know why he's out there saying what he's saying today?
He's getting in your face.
He's saying, I'm not going anywhere.
steve bannon
Palumbo, is that true?
Is that the way you look at it?
matt palumbo
Well, yeah, pretty much.
I mean, we have to play by their rules.
I mean, we see this even with cancel culture.
I mean, there are even conservatives who won't go on other conservative shows that seem, you know, a bit too out there.
And I'm going, well, you know, it's only a problem because a leftist might call you out on it, but why do you care what they think?
And it seems like, you know, when it comes to elected officials, we see that way, I think that way too.
And, you know, it is because we are much more principled than the left, but at times it is a weakness.
And, you know, we're seeing that play out here where You know, as seriously as Cuomo seems to be taking this behind the scenes with, you know, hiring a lawyer, at the press conference he didn't seem all concerned at all.
You know, that the crying was obviously an act, and it feels like he does know he's going to get away with it.
You know, the media's opinion on this guy has always shifted in unison.
He was a hero during COVID, all of a sudden they hate him now, in unison, for all the same reasons.
And, you know, it's a bit cynical, but I wouldn't be surprised if the opinion just shifts back for some other reason.
steve bannon
So to give our audience a signal, not the noise, by him saying today, I'm not going to resign.
How does this thing start to play out?
Is the left and the media, and particularly the Me Too and the Time's Up crowd, are they going to roll hard on this guy?
Or do you think they'll back off?
matt palumbo
The only people calling him out so far are other New York Democrats who are in their state and local government.
And, you know, maybe they're doing it for political reasons for their own careers.
But when it comes to the MeToo movement, I mean, Kamala Harris was very big in that.
I think Kirsten Gillibrand, you know, was sort of the face of it in the Senate alongside Harris.
And they're both silent on it.
So it clearly, for them, is political.
Though, you know, there are obviously people in that movement who, you know, will hold them accountable.
But for those in power, it doesn't seem like that at all.
Or for those in the federal government, I should say, it doesn't seem like that at all.
steve bannon
So talk to me, how do people get the book?
How do they follow you during the day?
What's your coordinates?
How do they get this book?
How do they read this book?
What are they going to do?
matt palumbo
Well, I forgot the coordinates, but a book, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.
In fact, if you go to the publisher's website, it's Post Hill Press.
They have like a drop-down with probably a dozen places you can get it.
I understand a lot of people don't want to buy off Amazon for good reason.
Then social media, Twitter is where I am probably 90% of the time, and that's MattPalumbo12.
steve bannon
It's a spicy Twitter feed.
You should definitely follow Palumbo.
Matt, thank you.
raheem kassam
No, it's definitely an underrated Twitter feed, by the way.
Matt, you know how to turn a phrase, you definitely know what the news is, but you're terrible at marketing yourself, and so I don't think enough people see these tweets.
But we've got to change that.
I'm back in 90 minutes.
steve bannon
Plumbo's too self-effacing.
That's why.
He's too good a guy.
Matt Plumbo.
raheem kassam
Two principled.
steve bannon
Two principled.
Matt Plumbo.
Fantastic job with the Bongino Report.
Everybody out there, go to Bongino Report.
Put it on your homepage.
Make sure you get it.
Thank you very much.
Raheem, so I was going to actually save some time here to talk about when's the countdown start for when Raheem Kassam is back on Twitter?
raheem kassam
So, I'm looking at it now.
It's about 90 minutes away.
Just under 90 minutes away.
They say they could add to it afterward.
They did that last time.
They made me wait the 7 days.
I waited the 7 days.
Held my fire.
Have a notepad full of tweets I'm about to send.
Fire off, right?
And then right after that, they went, eh, we're gonna add 48 hours.
So, let's see.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
unidentified
Raheem and Stephen K. Bannon in the War Room, next.
War Room.
Pandemic.
steve bannon
With Stephen K. Bannon.
unidentified
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
steve bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Just two programming notes.
Tomorrow we're actually going to have Navarro back on the morning show to go through the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, both coming in hard on the economic populism, economic nationalism policies that Navarro advocated that President Trump be put in place.
And myself.
We're going to discuss that.
He couldn't get to it today.
Also, Phil Klein made an amazing analysis at the end about big corporations and where the wealth creation was.
And we're basically the transfer of wealth in this in the CCP virus lockdown.
Phil's agreed to come back on tomorrow morning.
We're going to do it.
Everything is about energy high intensity.
This is high impact high intensity Programming to do that.
You've got to have an immune system.
You have to be healthy.
We want everybody's warriors We've got a new product line out War room defense.com is where you go to get the war room defense pack We've got a million bottles of vitamin d3 and also zinc.
You should be taking every day I love the packaging by the way, this stuff is to the Rosemary Gibson Park All sourced in the United States, all made in the United States, in the Wellness Warrior.
We've got the helmet of the Spartans, the 300 from Thermopylae.
We want everybody to go there.
We're very passionate about this.
And as soon as Rahim, my British colleague and a guy I've met for 10 years, as soon as he starts saying it right as vitamins, it's too awfully awfully.
raheem kassam
By the way, on that note, for the international audience that knows how to properly spell defence, unfortunately you will have to spell it the American way to get to the website, so that would be defence with an S for some reason, rather than defence with a C, so warroomdefencewithans.com Speaking of defense, you've been all over this National Guard story.
steve bannon
It's got so many different elements to it.
And we can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, from this beautiful nation's capital, that is the nation's capital of the United States of America, it is a disgrace what's going on.
And here's what the disgrace is.
To me, there hasn't been any information.
The FBI director, I thought yesterday, was a disgrace.
There's no information out, Rahim, about why this is necessary.
If it's necessary, every person in the United States and every person in the district would say to do it.
But when Eleanor Holmes Norton And I don't love her politics, but she's actually, she's a patriot.
She's very classy.
She's very smart.
When she comes out and says, this thing's got to come down, it's a disgrace.
We look like a third world country run by dictators to keep the people away from the nation's capital.
Now you've got all kinds of reports breaking about when the National Guard was supposed to be called up, why they're still here.
Are they going to try to blow up the Capitol tomorrow?
Because it's March 4th.
It's this theoretical day.
It's the old day.
Remember March 4th and before FDR.
Before the Great Depression and all the crisis there was the date of the inauguration because of travel, because of horses and back in the 19th century.
Rahim, you guys have been all over this.
Where do we stand on this thing?
You know, every day I sit here in the 55th day of occupation, 56th day of occupation.
When is that going to stop?
raheem kassam
Well, let me take it from a localist perspective.
You know, Capitol Hill is predominantly populated by liberals.
They live here, they work here.
steve bannon
Progressives.
raheem kassam
Yes, yes.
And there are lots of them.
And, you know, Capitol Hill predominantly isn't where the legislative branch of the United States government is.
Actually, predominantly, Capitol Hill is a residential neighborhood.
Most of the streets on Capitol Hill are old townhouses, a lot of them converted into apartments or apartment blocks now, but where people live.
And it's interesting, I've been walking around Capitol Hill the last couple of days and I've noticed these signs popping up in people's yards.
and say the sign says don't fence the capital.
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
raheem kassam
Which is really interesting because it's all lefties up here, right?
I mean these are people that will glare at me when I'm walking maskless down the street, but even they have signs up and it says don't fence the capital.
So I looked into it and actually they have a webpage and I'm sure they would hate the fact that I am reading this webpage out now and that you all are going to go to this page, but this is what it is.
It's called Don't Fence the Capital, with an O, thecapital.com, and there's even a petition.
And the petition has now been signed by 25,000 people.
who are calling for the fencing to be brought down and for there not to be a permanent fence around the capital. It's addressed to that Biden donor, the acting chief of capital police, Yogananda Pittman. But yeah, 25,000 signatures. So listen to this audience, plow in there, it doesn't cost you anything to do this.
I have nothing to do with this site, I don't know who these people are, but I do know they have a petition up that is calling for the removal of the fencing around the Capitol and the website is DontFenceTheCapitol.com
steve bannon
There's also some controversy, I know we're not going to get to it today, you had your podcast, we're not going to get to it today, but about General Flynn's brother, they're trying to do a narrative, he was the, this controversy, when the President reached out, how long it took, we're going to get down to the details of that in the next couple of days, but you can see the left's trying to drive a counter-narrative, Rahim Ghassan.
By the way, for empowerment.
Dan Schultz is, we want everybody in this audience to go to precinctstrategy.com, become a precinct committeeman, or at least consider it.
We need everybody in the audience, this is totally free, this is the way you become empowered, you know, get your agency, take your agency to the next level.
The way you do that is becoming a precinct strategy, a precinct committeeman, go to precinctstrategy.com.
raheem kassam
Looks like, by the way, very quickly, we have some breaking news that a U.S.
contractor may have been targeted and killed in Iraq.
We're getting more information by the minute on that.
This is Joe Biden's foreign policy at work.
steve bannon
Maybe they can explain it.
We have no earthy idea.
You're right.
This administration is not only not transparent, it seems very confused.
Things happen in fits and starts, don't you believe Mr. Rahim Ghassan?
raheem kassam
Yeah, and I know that this story has been around for about 12 hours now, but this is confirmation now that somebody has died and this escalation now between the sides is... You know, we're firing into Syria, we've still got guys in Iraq, it's very confusing.
steve bannon
Okay, our sponsor MyPillow.com, Mike Lindell and the great team over at MyPillow.
People said today we had guys on and they were talking about the The service he has, the network he has for recovery, right?
It's a church-based, Christian-based, you ought to go to the recovery network, the Lindale Recovery Network, which is the thing that's closest to Mike's heart as much as he's a firebrand about the election, firebrand about fair elections, a firebrand obviously about his company, he's so proud of it.
But the one thing we wanted to tell you is about energy and about getting a good night's sleep.
You need to have it.

On your pillow.
He couldn't find it again until I threw him into the deep end.
