Well the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
| I think it was 155 years ago today, just a few hundred yards away from here, Abraham Lincoln gave his second inaugural address. | ||
| People would have been gathering right now for that. | ||
| The oath of office, I think, was administered at noon. | ||
| He gave the inaugural. | ||
| If you saw the movie Lincoln, that's how the film ends. | ||
| It flashes back after the president was assassinated to To the inaugural, which I think is pretty much the consensus, even more than the Gettysburg Address is probably the greatest speech in American political history, at least one of the top couple. | ||
| You're in day 56 of an occupation. | ||
| It's stunning to think of what those folks would think about us today. | ||
| You're in the war room. | ||
| 56 days of occupation by the National Guard. | ||
| We still don't know why. | ||
| It's never been really put forward. | ||
| Ray didn't give an actual very compelling reason the other day. | ||
| Now the Capitol's essentially shut down. | ||
| I mean, the Senate's working, but the House leadership has all left, right? | ||
| The Democrats have left. | ||
| I guess the Republicans are with them because they've stopped business today because of a I don't know. | ||
| I guess they're calling it a QAnon threat. | ||
| They've only got five people up there that are associated with any groups. | ||
| I'm just going by the numbers. | ||
| I think it's five people with anything of the 150 I think they've indicted or put charges up against. | ||
| Still haven't found a weapon. | ||
| So when Stephanie Ruhle sits there and goes, oh, this thing was by, you know, these taken over by the terror groups on domestic terror groups on December, on January 6, I'm just going by CNN's reporting, not even going to the right wing sites. | ||
| I'm just going to CNN. | ||
| I think they said today is five. | ||
| And they haven't found a weapon yet. | ||
| There are no weapons involved. | ||
| We still don't have, we're going to have Darren Beatty on here in a few minutes, but still no the officer, the Capitol Police officer. | ||
| But this is why it's a time for courage. | ||
| Courage is contagious. | ||
| What we try to do with this show is something a little different. | ||
| We try to provide an apparatus. | ||
| so they get as much information as possible and and you can come to your own judgment police to give you and a contextualize things that you have a mental map we can build your own mental map right and then drop other information and as it goes on income your conclusions but to be active this is not a passive show we'd look to you i will reach out to you The reason people come on here is they know they can talk to people that are going to get active, and this is not about giving money. | ||
| This is not about writing checks, right? | ||
| This is about engaging. | ||
| This is about engagement. | ||
| We try to give you all the sites you can go to for free. | ||
| You don't have to sign up for everything, obviously, but find where your interests are. | ||
| If you're fighting for your country, find where your interests are. | ||
| We're here to empower you. | ||
| The only way we're going to save this republic is through human agency. | ||
| Do your agency. | ||
| You, you in this audience today, your agency, OK? | ||
| I think we do a pretty good job of showing people, particularly Democrats and former Democrats, what the issues are. | ||
| And we, you know, quote unquote, oh, they say they red pill people. | ||
| Well, I don't know what we do, but what we do is provide information. | ||
| We have a lot of people that are former Democrats or independents. | ||
| That now understand what MAGA is, understand what America First is, and support those policies. | ||
| And particularly, coming in droves, are working class Hispanics and African Americans. | ||
| They understand, they love their country, and they understand what the policies of this kind of globalist elites are. | ||
| One thing I've seen throughout the world though, and we've got to fight this all the time, you're seeing now, as you see here, that something's changed with the social media, the social media oligarchs, you're seeing it throughout the world. | ||
| Tomorrow, in the second hour of the show, We're going to have one of the leaders of Alternative for Deutschland, which is a party that basically puts forward, particularly in immigration, a lot of the policies put out by the Trump movement and the Trump administration. | ||
| And they are now, they're very close to being outlawed. | ||
| I mean, Germany is getting very dangerous, is it not, Mr. Rahim Kassami? | ||
| I mean, this is really your beat, Europe and the continent. | ||
| Well, the memory hole is alive and well and that's what's happening here. | ||
| You mentioned the story we had up about Andrew Breitbart last night. | ||
| Didn't you see what's happened to Andrew Breitbart as you guys reported? | ||
| What is going on here as this hammer drops by the authorities? | ||
| The memory hole is alive and well and that's what's happening here. | ||
| You mentioned the story we had up about Andrew Breitbart last night. | ||
| People were noticing on Twitter that Andrew Breitbart, when he passed away, was verified on Twitter. | ||
| And very recently, it's hard to pinpoint exactly when it happened. | ||
| For our audience, why is verified, why is blue check and verified so important? | ||
| It's a term of art, what does it mean? | ||
| Well, a blue check mark on Twitter effectively was always supposed to mean that yes, we have verified that this is the real public figure, the account of the real public figure that it says it is. | ||
| it would also be uh... something that would indicate to people that you or account may be promoted that would only suggest to people that they follow you uh... and it was also uh... a means by which the public could understand that the information they were getting from those accounts was was more likely to be endorsed or verified in some way by twitter itself now the blue checkmark is quickly descended into a who's who of the of the of the left-wing twitter rossi | ||
| Those of us who still have blue check marks, who got them a long, long time ago. | ||
| I mean, I think I got mine six years ago. | ||
| Sort of check every day to see if ours are being removed. | ||
| And with a sense of irony about it. | ||
| But now there's not a sense of irony about it. | ||
| They're removed. | ||
| Andrew was one of the founders of Twitter, basically. | ||
| He was one of the first big personalities. | ||
| One of the first big people to use it. | ||
| And used it all the time and brought people in. | ||
| And his trick was... | ||
| Retweeting, the worst thing said about him. | ||
| The only fights we ever had were about Twitter. | ||
| He was on Twitter and I said, why do you need to come to the site? | ||
| This is before we launched. | ||
| You know, Andrew's, the ninth anniversary of his passing away was Monday. | ||
| This is the ninth anniversary of launching the Breitbart site. | ||
| He had worked on it, we had worked on it for I guess about a half a year. | ||
| And I kept telling him, why are you on Twitter? | ||
| That means they don't have to come to the old site and they certainly don't have to come to the new. | ||
| So, to say, when you put that article up, that he had been, that had been, why would they do that? | ||
| Unverified. | ||
| Well again, it comes back to the memory hole. | ||
| It's the same thing that's happening with the Alternative for Deutschland at the moment. | ||
| They are trying to delete them from existence. | ||
| Now look, the Alternative for Deutschland isn't, it's not like the Brexit Party, right? | ||
| The Alternative for Deutschland has a As a grassroots that is interested in direct action. | ||
| You know, they go out and they do protest. | ||
| And they do serious, robust protest. | ||
| But they also have seats in Parliament. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| That's a little different than the UKIP. | ||
| Well, we didn't need them. | ||
| To do Brexit. | ||
| But they actually are a real political party. | ||
| They've had a number of seats. | ||
| They go up and down as their issues become hotter and not hotter as they campaign. | ||
| But they're a legitimate You know, alternative party. | ||
| You know, in a democracy, they are a democratic force. | ||
| They are part of the patchwork of German democracy, whether the establishment likes it or not. | ||
| And now they're being told that not just the people involved in the party, who have long been persecuted, by the way, and targeted by authorities, that the party itself may be outlawed by the German authorities. | ||
| Now, name me, name me, in human history, a single Regime, administration, republic, whatever, that believes in the banning of books, the policing of speech, the outlawing of political parties. | ||
| Name me a single one of those that turned out to be the good guys in the long haul. | ||
| Well it doesn't, because that's how you become authoritarian, right? | ||
| You're seeing that starting here. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody understands. | ||
| We're here to give you access and platforms to get whether it's NumbersUSA, whether it's going to the Georgia Star, whether it's listening to John Furnish Radio, but a couple that you ought to hit and we try to put up and repeat as often as possible. | ||
| These are groups that are looking for grassroots volunteers. | ||
| Become engaged. | ||
| And like I said, you've got to pick what your own strengths are. | ||
| Most importantly, pick what your own interests are. | ||
| There's so many opportunities out there. | ||
| And listen, The populist movement is a grassroots movement, right? | ||
| The muscle of the populist movement is you, and you saw from the November 12th when we had the million people come up here in that march that day, it was so powerful and got people so much attention. | ||
| That is the power of this movement. | ||
| One thing we want you to go to, at least check out, everybody in this audience should check out precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| This is Dan Schultz, a guy from Arizona who's been working on this. | ||
| There's 400,000 billets In the Republican Party, there's only 200,000 that are taken. | ||
| Like Dan Shull says, you're not really a Republican to become a part of the Republican Party. | ||
| That means go sign up to become a precinct committeeman. | ||
| The way the structure of the Republican Party is, it's kind of, actually the voting and everything comes from the committeeman. | ||
| So go, just check it out. | ||
| Go to the site precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| Go check it out. | ||
| See if it's for you. | ||
| We'll never tell you to do anything that you don't think is for you, but there's so many opportunities out there. | ||
| The other one is the great Scott Pressler. | ||
| I think it's scottpressler.org. | ||
| Pressler is a guy that's out there for voter registration. | ||
| He's gone around the nation. | ||
| I think he started a tour now after he left CPAC. | ||
| We're going to try to catch up with him in the next couple of days. | ||
| By the way, can I pitch you on something here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Live. | ||
| No pitching in the War Room, but go ahead. | ||
| We'll make an exception this time. | ||
| I'm going to tell a story about your pillows again. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I want to do the pillows first. | ||
| I've got to do the Rahim. | ||
| I've got to do the Rahim. | ||
| I was going to lead you into it, but okay. | ||
| No, you can lead me into it. | ||
| Okay, lead me into it. | ||
| Because I've got to get to the image of Rahim as a small baby on his pillow. | ||
| It's quite a big baby, really. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Now you are. | ||
| But the thing is, when I was a little boy, I had a pillow, and I would curl up, and I'd watch BBC, curl up on my pillow, and I was never happy. | ||
| I never got sleep until I, in fact, go ahead, give me your pitch. | ||
| No, the pitch is, we talk about the Nationwide Tour, I want to do the Nationwide Tour. | ||
| Now I'm saying, the Wharram Nationwide Tour, and a real Nationwide Tour. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Stuffed with my pillows. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, mostly because I'll need to sleep on them. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I think, see, I was in Arizona. | ||
| Take it on the road. | ||
| Take it on the road. | ||
| I was in Arizona, and also the border. | ||
| We've got to do a border symposium again. | ||
| Well, we're going to go back to El Paso. | ||
| We got to in the weather. | ||
| Listen, this is a crisis building down there, and that wall, people have to understand, The border is controlled by the cartels. | ||
| Nobody comes across anymore that just kind of wanders across. | ||
| They monetize everything. | ||
| They monetize the human trafficking. | ||
| They monetize the drug trafficking, obviously. | ||
| But no, we're going to kick that off. | ||
| I would love to start that in El Paso. | ||
| By the way, the two symposiums we had in the summer of 19, You had Rosemary Jenks, you had CIS, the Center for Immigration Studies, you had all the top people down there in the blazing heat, but we made it work. | ||
| And here's what was most interesting, from the El Paso community, I'll bet you 80-85% of the audience was Hispanic, working class and middle class Hispanics, some Democrats, a lot of Republicans, and this was an issue That was the burning issue and one is the economics and the other is the security. | ||
| We built that part of the wall. | ||
| We built the wall right up that hill because the Border Patrol said, hey, this is one the Army Corps of Engineers hasn't gotten to yet, may not get to for a while. | ||
| This is when President Trump was hung up by Pelosi. | ||
| Remember, they had that huge fiasco at the end of 18, in the beginning of 19. | ||
| And the board is going to become a major crisis right now. | ||
| The mainstream media doesn't want to address it, but I've got to tell you, it's going to explode, as Steve Cortez says, in April and May. | ||
| Definitely, I would love to tell you, I'll anchor here, you go on the road with your, maybe it's the run-up to your wedding, maybe do Raheem's wedding. | ||
| No, I'm sending your fiancé with you. | ||
| Listen, I want to go back to the image of, no, Rahim is the first one to really talk to me about MyPillow because Rahim's had trouble sleeping. | ||
| You need a good night's sleep. | ||
| We only get four or five hours, so you've got to fire up the football. | ||
| Mike Lindell and the great team of MyPillow is now a sponsor of The War Room. | ||

| I was not, it wasn't, look, I slept like a baby when I was a baby, right? | ||
| But what I was saying is, and it's totally true, that There was a period in my twenties, sort of that big, when I just couldn't get good sleep. | ||
| Just could not get good sleep. | ||
| I was all jacked up all the time and it was like 2016 and I was in the store and I saw the MyPillow. | ||
| I got the MyPillow. | ||
| Honestly, I am inseparable from that thing at night. | ||
| Is there no correlation between you coming to work for me and getting better sleep? | ||
| Oh, maybe that's why you couldn't sleep from 2012 to 2016. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly what it was. | |
| As soon as you went into the White House, I got perfect sleep. | ||
| My pillow, a pillow, and that. | ||
| We're going to come back. | ||
| Darren Beatty and the guys at Revolver. | ||
| We have another great article. | ||
| We're talking about fighters and who's standing up when the Georgia's legislature, these Republican executives around the country or up here in Congress, who's actually standing up now and throwing down and saying, no, we're going to fight this. | ||
| We're going to fight it tooth and nail. | ||
| These policies are too radical. | ||
| You know, what exactly are we looking for? | ||
| The Revolver's got another brilliant piece up today. | ||
| We're going to bring in Darren Beatty, the publisher and editor-in-chief over there, one of the editors-in-chief. | ||
| War Room. | ||

|
Pandemic. | |
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, I want to read from the Revolver, an amazing story. | ||
| It's a strategy memo they've gotten hold of. | ||
| And they're saying how the strategy memo shows the GOP, or at least GOP leadership, I guess in the House, still doesn't get it. | ||
| And I want to quote from this. | ||
| The secret to GOP success going forward is to completely buy into the globalist left's toxic ideology, reducing people to identity checklists. | ||
| And of course, when making that checklist, being a woman is better than being a man. | ||
| Being of color is superior to being white. | ||
| This is toxic and suicidal. | ||
| It submits entirely to the left's moral framing, which is both wrong and something the left will always be better at, and of course routinely results in the election promotion of subpar candidates. | ||
| Now I want to bring in their publisher, one of the publishers and editors over at Revolver. | ||
| Darren Beatty is very well known to our audience. | ||
| Look, you've had We've had some tremendous candidates. | ||
| I mean, we've had Boebert in here yesterday. | ||
| We're going to try to get MTG in here. | ||
| We've got, although she didn't win, we're going to have Kim Klesik, ran up in Baltimore tonight, is going to co-host with us. | ||
| We're having Amanda Milius, who's a filmmaker, but we'd love to have her. | ||
| Run for Congress. | ||
| You know, you've had law enforcement officials, you've had women, you've had, you know, there's a couple dynamic now new members of Congress that are people of color. | ||
| We've won down in these Hispanic districts, former veterans. | ||
| Aren't you guys falling to the same thing about categorizing like that and not really looking for are they MAGA and America First? | ||
| My problem is if people are MAGA and America First, you're going to get the people in there that support President Trump's, you know, in this movement's ideology and its policies. | ||
| If we don't get them in there that believe that, and to me that should be the requirement, regardless of your gender, regardless of your race, regardless even if you're a veteran or not, and I love having veterans in there, Isn't that it? | ||
| I mean, the basis of yours is that you think they're recruiting that just to do identity politics, and they don't have any substance to them? | ||
| Is that the point you're trying to make? | ||
| Because this is a very controversial piece. | ||
| I don't even need to say that, because it's on Revolver. | ||
| All the pieces on Revolver are controversial. | ||
| But this one particularly, as soon as I read it, I contacted you and said, we've got to get you on, because this one's going to explode. | ||
| Look, you know, our discourse at this point is so extremely straitjacketed that anything with the remotest hint of an insight is going to be controversial, and so I fully embrace that description. | ||
| But to clarify what this piece actually says, it's not dis- I mean, I think with candidates you have to go on a case-by-case basis, so we can deal with candidates on a case-by-case basis. | ||
| My position, Revolver's position, is we want Competent people. | ||
| We want serious people, not clownish. | ||
| We want competent, serious, and people who genuinely reflect the transformational politics that Trump represented in 2016. | ||
| Those are the criteria that I advocate, that Revolver advocates, and I think most of your viewers would embrace. | ||
| The issue here ...is this document. | ||
| Let me read from this document. | ||
| The issue here is from this Congressional Leadership Fund. | ||
| And with a name like that, you already know it's a joke. | ||
| I'm sorry to say. | ||
| Like, with a name like that, it's going to be a joke. | ||
| But the Congressional Leadership Fund, what do they have to say about the Republicans outperforming expectations in 2020? | ||
| Did they outperform expectations because the other side was embracing destructive Race riots throughout the city? | ||
| Did they outperform because the other side was embracing even more destructive and unnecessary lockdown policies? | ||
| No, they say. | ||
| They suggest the reason that all of these 15 seats Republicans were able to flip, they were won by women, minority, or a veteran. | ||
| They're emphasizing precisely these identity characteristics that the left has made its It's raison d'etre. | ||
| It's its whole mode of being in emphasizing these identity characteristics. | ||
| And the Republicans try to play that game. | ||
| You saw it with the criminal justice reform, with the prison break, with, you know, the Kushner policies. | ||
| It never works, it's always disappointing, it's always weak, and it never addresses and confronts the actual problems head-on. | ||
| So this piece says, look, we want the best people for the job, but let's not play that dumb identity game that the left invented, and by virtue of that invention, they're always going to play it better than us anyway. | ||
| So let's not engage in a third-rate version of an immoral way of viewing at politics. | ||
| Let's run competent people, serious people, and people who actually reflect the agenda that Trump ran on in 2016. | ||
| Isn't the fact that they won in these tough districts, and won in a tough year, right, when we, you know, for whatever reason you want to say we're not at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, isn't that By definition show that they were good enough and tough enough. | ||
| My point is that the thing that I found most interesting was not that so much is that you said, hey, in the categories they put out, they say it's about socialism. | ||
| Look, I don't know if you can argue socialism. | ||
| Look, this is state capitalism. | ||
| I don't see them arguing socialism. | ||
| They're making more money than ever. | ||
| Phil Kline's going to be on here right after you to talk about how the collusion of state capitalism with big government and the social media oligarchs, all that, they're making more money than ever on the CCP virus, right? | ||
| I don't see any of these guys. | ||
| You're totally right. | ||
| And this whole nonsense down in Georgia, and Georgia and this runoff, oh it's socialism versus capitalism. | ||
| I don't know if anybody in Georgia believes that. | ||
| It's about a radicalized agenda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Yes, my facetious description of how dumbed down our political discourse has become is our politics has literally become socialism versus hamburgers. | ||
| And I think some people have actually used that description literally. | ||
| But this is a problem, is that a term like socialism, it's just this referent that's out there in the air, some kind of vestigial element from the politics of the 80s that really doesn't get to the things that actually matter today. | ||
| In fact, in some ways, I think socialism would be a great improvement. | ||
| Having lockdown policies associated with the greatest transfer of wealth in history from the middle class to the oligarch class, And then giving people $600 checks. | ||
| That's not socialism. | ||
| That's an oligarchy. | ||
| That's what we have now. | ||
| We have an oligarchy. | ||
| And I think in many ways that's much worse than socialism. | ||
| But again, the Republican Party is still wedded to this anachronistic politics of the 80s where socialism is this vocabulary that they have that doesn't describe anything actually going on. | ||
| Okay, so let's go, regardless of whether they're veterans or police officers or not, whether they're women or not, ethnicity, color, what are the, you're saying, you want them to back the transformative politics of the MAGA movement and Donald J. Trump in America First. | ||
| What are the, when you look as the One of the great poobahs over at Revolver, when you guys put that list together, what are the two or three top things that Darren Bay says that say, hey, if I see somebody making a speech on that, we're interested, we're going to start following that person. | ||
| But if they're not, if they're a neoliberal neocon, we're not interested. | ||
| So what are the policies that you're looking for to say are transformative? | ||
| Right, well, as you know very well, because you're one of the architects of this, I think the key pillars of that kind of transformational Trumpist agenda, you don't even need to associate it with Trump, is, you know, sovereign borders, sovereign country, that means real borders, it means keeping immigration under control, both legal and illegal, it means fashioning Reasonable trade policies that were down to the benefit of the general public. | ||
| And it means, I think perhaps most importantly, not engaging in these forever wars. | ||
| And I think it is kind of disappointing that even, you know, Trump ran on a anti-neoconservative foreign policy. | ||
| He ran on being against the forever wars, condemned the Iraq war, always wanted to bring the troops home. | ||
| And there was a period there where we had all branches of government, we had the most populous president ever. | ||
| And we weren't able to successfully even with, you know, bring the troops home from Afghanistan. | ||
| And so I think another thing to consider in this whole conversation and made a consideration, which is disturbing, people don't want to hear it. | ||
| But I think it's important at this stage of the game say that with all the talk about election fraud, perhaps the real delusion The real election fraud is the delusion that simply winning elections translates to wielding power. | ||
| And I think one example that we, one thing that we've seen from, you know, the Trump presidency is that that isn't, that isn't necessarily the case. | ||
| And I think one bottleneck, one very clear bottleneck to being able to wield power, even if you win elections, that's always been clear, but now it's as clear as ever. | ||
| is the national security state itself. | ||
| The fact that the national security state, which is supposed to protect us from foreign enemies, has been repurposed, redeployed domestically to crush the energies associated with Donald Trump's victory, to crush any kind of resistance from the American middle class. | ||
| And that's why I love veterans. | ||
| I have tremendous respect for the military generally, but that's why I would, you know, if it offends people, I'm sorry, but I have to say that listing being a Navy SEAL simply as a kind of, by virtue of that, one is qualified to deal with politics today, | ||
| Maybe, you know, elevating people whose chief qualification is obeying authority is not the right answer right now when the authorities have declared war on Trump supporters and on populists in the United States. | ||
| We need people who are able to stand up to authority, to stand up to the government, and to stand up to every national security institution which has become corrupt and hostile to the American people. | ||
| I think the veterans and the Navy SEALs, etc., they're going to jump into this campaign, will be able to defend themselves in that regard. | ||
| Or not, I'm sure they'll be able to make a compelling case, because these are tough Strong people. | ||
| Real quickly, we've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| This fiasco up here about the Capitol being taken down by terrorist groups and shut down today. | ||
| What say you, Darren? | ||
| You've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think this whole thing is ridiculous. | ||
| And in another piece, a revolver piece, that's become quite important, it's a blood libel on Trump supporters. | ||
| This whole narrative is used as a pretext to re-characterize Trump supporters effectively as domestic terrorists, or at least potential domestic terrorists. | ||
| Very dangerous. | ||
| Yeah, we're going to get it all up. | ||
| We're going to take a break. | ||

We'll get Betty's social media. | |
| War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, you know the issues we're talking about for the Save This Republic, and you know, as goes this nation, so goes the world. | ||

| So we need you around for the long haul, and we need you energized, on point, on the ramparts. | ||
| If you're in the War Room, you're in the arena, and that's why every day we talk about these different organizations you can join and participate in. | ||
| We started a new relationship with a company. | ||
| We go to warroomdefense.com. | ||
| That's warroomdefense.com, all one word. | ||
| Get the War Room Defense Pack. | ||
| We've got now up there for free zinc and vitamin D3, okay, with the Spartan label. | ||
| And actually a War Room, I don't know if you can see that, but actually got a War Room logo right at the top. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| The War Room Pandemic logo, which we're very proud of. | ||
| And Rahim made that great open in the first day of the War Room Pandemic. | ||
| I think he cut it. | ||
| Some people want to change it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| That's where we're staying. | ||
| We need you. | ||
| If you're a patriot warrior, we need you as a health warrior. | ||
| And so that's where you got to go to warroomdefense.com. | ||
| Go there today. | ||
| Find out about the program. | ||
| You've got to pay, I think, shipping and handling, but you'll get all that information on there. | ||
| Start with the zinc and the vitamin D3. | ||
| We've got a lot more coming after that. | ||
| We need you around for the long haul. | ||
| Mr. Raheem Kassam. | ||
| And we're getting the deal with the company for the ginseng raisins? | ||
| Can we announce that yet? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Okay, tomorrow we're working, and this is because of Rahim, a very special opening. | ||
| Tomorrow we're going to have Amanda Milius is going to be here, the great young filmmaker, John Milius' daughter. | ||
| She's worked at the State Department, worked in the Trump administration, great filmmaker with Lee Smith's book, The Plot Against the President. | ||
| She's going to be our co-host for the entire time. | ||
| We're going to start the show tomorrow at 10 o'clock, if we can pull it off. | ||
| with the 105 year old woman who Rahim was able to identify that's gotten through CCP virus, the COVID-19 with, I don't think with a vaccine she's gotten it through with gin soaked raisins so we will have her on tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I will have you know that I have just personally ordered three pounds of gin soaked raisins and I will be trying that diet. Okay we may have a special on that too that may become part of the health warrior go the health of We're Rahim's own gen. | |
| Okay, Darren Beatty, who's one of the smarty members, he was a speechwriter in the White House, only member of an Ivy or Ivy equivalent faculty that supported Trump, came out Publicly in support of Trump before the 16th election and has suffered from that One of the smartest guys around and one of the elements he talked about in the last segment was about what happened during the CCP virus What happened during this pandemic what actually went on we've had essentially | ||
| I think the greatest concentration of wealth in American history, it looks like it turned out to be that. | ||
| Phil Kline, who is at the Amistad Project and doing a great fight around the nation on finding out on November 3rd what exactly happened and how we can stop it and make sure it never happens again and also hold people accountable and see what can still happen about November 3rd. | ||
| Because remember, the more that comes out, the more that's going to go with Biden hiding, not doing press conferences, being cut off by his staff from having to address any issues. | ||
| Trust me, we're trying to get Richard Barris on tomorrow to talk about his approval polling, because that means no political capital, and those four verticals of those radical plans, except for the COVID, because they're going to use reconciliation on that, are going to be stopped, and this tracks why he has no political capital. | ||
| Phil Kline brought up this in his talk with us yesterday, Audience blew up and wanted him to come back. | ||
| So, Phil, what did you mean? | ||
| Darren Beatty kind of teed you up and almost said kind of a preamble to what you were saying yesterday. | ||
| What were you talking about when you talked about, like, the Zuckers and these guys made a good investment of $3.5 million because it ended up they made a fortune? | ||
| They're no conspiracies, but no coincidences. | ||
| So what happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, no, this is just business doing what, unfortunately, business in America does today, and that is use their relationship with government to benefit their business rather than to lead based on principle of liberty and freedom and allowing equal opportunity to the marketplace. | |
| What has happened during the shutdowns is that there's been one of the most massive transfers of wealth from Main Street business to big tech and transfers of wealth to big tech owners in United States history. | ||
| And it doesn't take a little bit but scratching the surface to see it. | ||
| The billionaires have become kazillionaires during the shutdown. | ||
| The large business, big tech, a lot of the market has been pushed online because of the shutdowns and the big business can respond to the government mandates while the small business cannot. | ||
| And you have to understand the breadth of these mandates. | ||
| They're almost impossible for a small business to respond to, but big business has. | ||
| Now, this goes back a ways, and I want to take you back, if you'll bear with me for a second, back into the 1950s, for example. | ||
| Assume you have a single parent, a husband leaves, or a woman needs to start a business and she wants to cut hair. | ||
| It would cost her about $25 to get into business. | ||
| Today, we regulate barbers. | ||
| We have the most regulated society in human history despite the fact people aren't dying in barber shops. | ||
| We don't have wild barbers running around with sharp scissors hurting people. | ||
| But we make them now go to school to learn what they already know how to do. | ||
| We make them go through all of this training. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it protects the market of those who are already doing barbering. | ||
| And they support it. | ||
| Somebody who wants to get into that market now would spend $50,000 to try to get into barbering. | ||
| And now business has learned. | ||
| Support government regulation that you can comply with to push out your competitors. | ||
| And that's what Big Tech did with the lockdowns. | ||
| It's not surprising. | ||
| And now Big Tech is supporting the Democratic Party because they were the primary party for the lockdowns. | ||
| You know, it's interesting, you connect dots here, what you're talking about, Phil, the recall, and I want to connect dots out to California, the second front that's opening up in the Biden administration, that recall is driven by two groups. | ||
| Entrepreneurs that have said these lockdowns have been so draconian, you've taken care of big business, Silicon Valley, you're destroying us, and moms of school-age children. | ||
| The schools are closed, the businesses are closed, and they've had a revolt out there. | ||
| We'll have Tom Del Beccari on tomorrow, trying to get him on tomorrow. | ||
| They've had a revolt driven by what you're saying. | ||
| People are now fighting back. | ||
| How should, how does Zuckerberg's, your analysis, because you're the first guy to unearth this and make it a national story and you're fighting it everywhere. | ||
| How did Zuckerberg think this through and game the system to make sure that at the end of the day the oligarchs would make out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there's a couple of things about it. | |
| First of all, you have to understand that the left's love of these type of emergency powers. | ||
| Has been longstanding. | ||
| They've been writing scholarly papers about environmental emergencies, gun violence emergencies forever in a day, so that they can bypass the democratic process and achieve policy options they could not otherwise achieve. | ||
| On top of that, you've got big business and big tech that is not necessarily concerned about individual liberty and freedom in America, As much as they are concerned about access to markets around the world, as well as the ability to defeat competitors, to gobble up competitors. | ||
| So you had this burgeoning love for emergency orders. | ||
| And this left belief that they know best for all of us, that really they have to protect us from ourselves, teaming up with a big tech alignment of engendering more wealth for themselves to be able to claim to be altruistic while shutting down their competitors. | ||
| And it was a perfect match. | ||
| And we see that's why these lockdowns are going on and on and on and on. | ||
| It's not science. | ||
| I mean, their lead scientist has said, don't wear masks, wear one mask, wear three masks. | ||
| It all depends, of course, on the context of when he's speaking as to what he needs to say. | ||
| America has never locked down before the healthy. | ||
| It is quarantine the unhealthy and it is protected the vulnerable. | ||
| And anytime we have, we have on a couple of occasions, we interned Japanese Americans and we forcibly sterilized people against their will when we said that they were, they were diseased in their genetics. | ||
| Anytime America has locked down the healthy, it's a dark stain on our nation's history. | ||
| And this will again also be a dark stain on our history. | ||
| We are destroying The hopes and dreams of millions of Americans for this folly. | ||
| Freedom is not measured by science. | ||
| Thank God it's not the definition. | ||
| And government keeping us safe from all potential harm is not the role of government. | ||
| It's to protect us in our individual intrinsic freedoms. | ||
| If our freedoms were defined by science, I'll tell you what, the only thing that I could eat, Steve, is this green sludge that my daughter purees from the vegetables and grasses growing around our home, which tastes... Well, I don't drink it now. | ||
| If that was the rule of government, I'd have to drink that every day. | ||
| We're not thinking through these things. | ||
| We got about a minute or two. | ||
| And do you think that right now that the evidence is coming down on the side of a Ron DeSantis approach to this, which is targeted interventions, use data science to do kind of a logical, you know, evidence-based backup where you can do open up a state and you do still do the targeted interventions to make sure people with comorbidities and that people are going to be particularly vulnerable will have additional protection and it kind of contra to Cuomo, | ||
| who's sending the sick back to the nursing homes and saying at the end, hey, why does it matter where they died? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Where do you think history is going to come out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It will be proven to be the better approach. | |
| And another significant issue there is that it will show that the democratic process, open and transparent, with public hearings to make law, rather than governors waking up and deciding, this day the law is what I say and it might change tomorrow, is always better in protecting freedom and liberty. | ||
| Phil, how do people get to you on the Amistad Project? | ||
| Also, any social media? | ||
| How do people track you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
My Twitter is P as in Phil, D like David, Klein, K-L-I-N-E, and then my got-freedom.com, G-O-T-freedom.com. | |
| Phil Klein, thank you for joining us today in the War Room. | ||
| Raheem, you know, this gets back to this thing about the socialism, about the control. | ||
| Tom Friedman at the New York Times, he said, I think it was the beginning of, right after Trump won, I think it was sometime in 16, early 17, that he would like to have the model of the CCP for a day. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| He would like to have the basis, then we could take care of climate change, we could take care of all these issues that have heretofore kind of held us back, right? | ||
| That we could actually get on top of these. | ||
| The liberals are now gone. | ||
| I think that this progressive left and really this kind of liberal fascism or progressive fascism, they admire The model of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Now they may not want the concentration camps, right? | ||
| But they want the authority and they want the state. | ||
| In each industry vertical, a couple of big companies that they can control. | ||
| Remember AOC says she's making lists, right? | ||
| What do you do with lists like that? | ||
| It's interesting you say that, because of course they're sympathetic to it. | ||
| By the way, you know, Friedman's had his way. | ||
| We haven't had the CCP model for a day, we've had it for a year now. | ||
| But of course they're sympathetic, because what's happened over the last 10-15 years, as Natalie Winters writes every day, we find a new group, a new organization, a new person who has been groomed by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Yeah, we did a whole episode on the podcast about this yesterday. | ||
| The Congressional Black Caucus was sending constituents to China, and those constituents were then writing fawning reviews of the Chinese Communist Party when they returned to the United States. | ||
| I literally just hit publish on a story right now. | ||
| The founder of PolitiFact, Which is used by Facebook. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
| Everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| The founder of PolitiFact was a journalist in residence at a CCP-run influence group called USCET. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And we, these are the people, remember, when a journalist wants to report a story, like let's say Because PolitiFact has gone through some National Pulse reporting before on Kamala Harris, her husband, and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They say, it's not true, it's not true! | ||
| And so all other reporters just go there and say, oh, well, PolitiFact says it's not true, it's not true. | ||
| Actually, if you scroll down the PolitiFact article, they admit, actually, the National Pulse reporting was fair and accurate. | ||
| It's everyone else commenting about it that wasn't fair and accurate, right? | ||
| But PolitiFact is the place they go, and their founder, Chinese Communist Party running dog. | ||
| That's the lead story on Pulse right now. | ||
| He'll be back in a second. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Make sure you're supporting Mike Lindell and the great team over there at MyPillow. | ||
| I mean, Mike Lindell is a warrior on so many levels. | ||
| The one thing I love most about him is not so much the election fighting and everything else he's doing, but his recovery network, the Lindell Recovery Network, where he really has a biblical-based, a Christ-based way to basically help addicts, because he's the first to admit he was a very fallen guy. | ||
| So go to MyPillow.com today. | ||
| Uh, put in promo code war room or call 800-873-1062. | ||
| Also with the promo code war room, you get up to 66% off and you'll have all kinds of opportunities. | ||
| And of course this great, uh, great deal on the premium pillow, the queen size premium pillow, which $40 off, but there's so much more there. | ||
| Make sure you go there today. | ||
| Okay, so this is all about fight, and we started the show with Rahim up on the Capitol. | ||
| It's the 155th, I think, anniversary of today in a few minutes, where then-President Abraham Lincoln, people forgot the second time he did not run as a Republican, he ran as part of the National Union Party with Johnson, a Union Democrat from Tennessee. | ||
| He gave, I think, the most powerful political speech in American history, his second inaugural address that took place just hundreds of yards from here. | ||
| We're going to end the show with that. | ||
| Today, you know, Darren Beatty and others, we've had pretty controversial guys on. | ||
| Phil Klein talking about what happened during the CCP virus and what's happened to the country. | ||
| This is why we're fighting every day and we're winning. | ||
| Victory begets victory. | ||
| I don't agree with Darren about the thing he feels that people are getting too much into box checking. | ||
| I do think McCarthy has done a good job of recruiting candidates. | ||
| That's why I call him the pledge chairman. | ||
| I think the candidates have been strong. | ||
| To Darren's point, and by the way, particularly like in the middle, I'm a vet, my daughter's a vet, my kid brother's a Navy pilot. | ||
| The vets can stand up for themselves. | ||
| I do defer to a guy, someone, when I see them as a vet, but it doesn't get my vote totally or my support. | ||
| I want to make sure they stand for it. | ||
| I think what, baby's most important part is, We need to be aligned with these policies. | ||
| That's what we don't need. | ||
| They talk about a big tent. | ||
| If the big tent is going to have globalist, neoliberal, neocon policies, we're never going to move this agenda forward. | ||
| And we're going to have Kim Klesik on tonight as our co-host. | ||
| We're going to have Amanda Milius on tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to have a lot more young people in here as co-hosts. | ||
| Rahim, the entire team at National Pulse is young. | ||
| CPAC, all the energy down there was not so much on stage, it was out there with the young people. | ||
| They support These policies, and that's what's changing the makeup of the Republican Party. | ||
| When you're winning districts and you're winning counties down in the Rio Grande Valley, and you've got that Democrat that Cortez talked about yesterday that says, hey, the Democrats are going to lose additional congressional seats down there because of the policies, these populist policies of Donald Trump. | ||
| You're going to have a realignment in this country. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And the Navy SEALs and the veterans like myself, we can stand up for ourselves. | ||
| We don't totally kowtow to authority figures, although some might, but guys can stand up, and men and women can stand up. | ||
| I know my daughter doesn't, and I certainly don't, so I can just speak from personal understanding. | ||
| Rahim, your thoughts. | ||
| You started the day. | ||
| We're going to cut here in a minute. | ||
| We're going to actually end with the second inaugural address of President Lincoln. | ||
| You started the day up there, sir. | ||
| And I'll end my day around here as well. | ||
| And every day that goes by, I think, is a betrayal of the founding principles of this country. | ||
| I mean, I think it was today's the anniversary of the first session of Congress up in New York. | ||
| And you think... When that was the Capitol. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| And you think about what you said at the beginning, you know, what would those people say about what they're seeing around them today? | ||
| We're on the shoulders of giants. | ||
| And not just, you know, and I don't agree with everything that all of the framers and the founders wrote, and that's the beautiful thing about what they wrote, is it gave you the ability to disagree with them. | ||
| They wanted the ability, you know, if you go to the Jefferson Memorial, I don't know if you're even allowed there at the moment, but if you go to the Jefferson Memorial, you know, there's a stark kind of a left liberal quote up there, and like a more right law and order quote up there. | ||
| And the left one is, it says, you know, requiring a man It's like, holding a nation to the strictures of its predecessors is like requiring a man to wear the same coat he wore as a child. | ||
| And so that's the appeal to progress, right? | ||
| But as Barry Goldwater said, you know, progress isn't really a hallmark of the progressives. | ||
| Progress is actually the hallmark of the Conservative because progress means you learn from your mistakes. | ||
| But the Left doesn't do that. | ||
| The Left actually just likes to make the mistakes. | ||
| And so all of those thoughts are sort of swimming through my head as I go and I walk around the Capitol and I see just this big mistake that's going on right now. | ||
| You know, and for some people, yes, of course, it's nefarious and it's ill-spirited and it's meant to demoralize and demonize and terrorize the minds of the American public. | ||
| But for some people, it's a deep, deep mistake that they're going along following these people. | ||
| We're going to end with Ken Burns' From the Civil War. | ||
| I think it's Sam Waterston plays Lincoln. | ||
| It's absolutely powerful. | ||
| If you haven't seen The Civil War, I think it's 10 hours, 12 hours, absolutely magnificent. | ||
| Everybody should get the DVD. | ||
| I'll go to the site. | ||
| But we're going to end with their recreation from the documentary film, The Civil War. | ||
| This is President Abraham Lincoln, who would be dead, I think, three or four weeks after this, his second inaugural address. | ||
|

Inauguration Day was cold and windy, just as it had been four years earlier. | |
| you But the U.S. | ||
| U.S. Capitol was now complete, its great iron dome in place, crowned by a bronze liberty. | ||
| Just before the President began to speak, the clouds parted, flooding the stand with brilliant sunlight. | ||
| you you Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, That this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. | ||
| Yet if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled up by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, As was said 3,000 years ago, so still must be said, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. | ||
| With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, Let us strive on to finish the work we are in. | ||
| To bind up the nation's wounds. | ||
| To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan. | ||
| To do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. | ||
| Can it be anyone but Lincoln |
