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.
anthony fauci
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 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.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
Because if you don't, and the worst happens... War Room.
Pandemic.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Live from an occupied nation's capital, you're in the War Room.
It's Friday the 5th of March, Year of Our Lord 2021.
It is 57 days of occupation by the National Guard and no end in sight.
Mr. Rahim Kassam, how many days without an unaccompanied press conference?
raheem kassam
That would be 44, but zero days since Jen Psaki has been asked about it at the press briefing.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to get to that in the b-block.
In fact, we've got a cold open and we've got the one and only Mike McCormick here, the author of an amazing book, Biden Unauthorized, which is becoming a hot, hot item.
As President Trump said, you're hot.
Okay, John Frederick, Radio Network, particularly want to thank and welcome WMLB, AM 1690, in Atlanta, the new station, the John Fredericks Radio Network, everybody in Metro Atlanta, on Real America's Voice, Comcast 113, the Dish Channel 219, and of course on Rumble, Roku, Pluto, Vizio, Gab, Telegram, in all the live streams, get in your chat rooms, let us know what you're thinking, we're following.
There's also hashtag War Room Pandemic.
Let us know what's going on in Mandarin, G News and GTV to the diaspora.
of the Chinese people and also blowing through the firewall to Lao Bai Jing in mainland China.
We know you're fighting for your freedom and we have your back here in the war room.
Okay, a packed show today.
I want to go, we started the border yesterday with Ben Bergquam and the great team of Real America's Voice, also augmented by Oscar El Blue from Border News Network.
Let's go now to the border.
Ben Bergquam, Oscar El Blue.
Get us up to date on what's going on, guys.
ben bergquam
Hey Steve, we're back here.
The tent city continues to grow behind us.
This is actually the start of it, where people were supposed to initially get in line to get a number for the asylum process.
That number continues to grow, and in talking to Blue yesterday, What we're hearing is there's concern that the cartels are actually coming in.
The coyotes are coming in at night.
Not the literal coyotes that Joe Biden talked about in the debates, but actual cartel coyotes coming in and taking people, offering to get them across the border.
I went to one of those locations this morning and was able to document that process where you have cartel scouts Lookouts on tops of these mountains they they occupy the high ground and then they they send people over and when you think about that Most people say well we talked about people having to pay to get across the border a lot of times They're paying by carrying a contraband by either selling themselves into the sex trade or a whole number of elicit other opportunities to get them across the border
Today I found a guy up on top with a backpack on.
Now who knows if he was working for the cartel.
He was, I actually caught him right before he was about to jump the wall.
But that's one of the things, the people that come out here, a lot of them, you know, they've escaped terrible desperate situations in their home countries.
Now they're here and then they get approached by somebody who says, can we, we can get you across the border.
Little do they know that they end up being sold into a life of sex and crime.
steve bannon
Yeah, I tell you what, we got such a such wind in the background.
Can we see if Denver can take care of that?
And let's bring in Marianne Mendoza.
We'll take Marianne and let's try to sort out what's happening at the border.
This live report is too important.
Yesterday was fantastic and people get to see what's going on the border.
Plus Axios, as you know, one of the top scoop sites In Washington, D.C., in politics broke today lead story that there is a Biden border crisis that's building.
And by April, May, this thing is going to be out of control.
It's going to explode on the southern border in a time of a CCP COVID-19 virus.
Let's bring in Marianne Mendoza.
from the Angel Moms, which are the organized groups down there that really represent people, children, family members, husbands, wives, relatives that have been killed, either murdered or killed in traffic accidents or otherwise by illegal aliens that have been here in the country.
Marianne, I want to go through, we're going to go back to Ben and the team back at the border, but I got to ask you, Ben brought up the cartels, and we've been making the case that this border is not open anymore, not because the federal government shut it down under Biden, but because the cartels have shut it down.
You have to come across now with a cartel.
They've made this into a massive business.
Can you talk to us about your knowledge of this?
unidentified
Yes, they've gotten so sophisticated, Steve.
They realized the amount of money they were losing in 2019, and they've come up now with the wristband system.
Where anybody that is transported by cartel, coyotes, has to have a wristband which identifies which cartel is in charge of the area where they're coming across.
That they've actually paid.
To get that wristband, it has a number on it.
They have a huge database that has their cell phone number on it and their family cell number in their home country.
They call the family to make sure this is all legit.
The people pay the money, they got brought across, and if they don't continue making the payments because the majority of them cannot pay the full payment up front, they will go and harm their families in the countries of origin.
So this has become a huge sophisticated thing, with the cartel actually projected to make over a billion dollars this year, and we have an administration who is aiding and abetting the cartel, and Just absolutely using these people as human cargo.
They have no regard for life whatsoever.
steve bannon
I just gotta go back and ask you, for our audience, because this is not just a nationwide audience, it's a global audience.
Rahim has made the case that this is 2015 in Germany.
This is really a migrant crisis that, as Merkel basically by signaling, made that into a real crisis that changed the political landscape of Europe.
What Biden has done here, both inadvertently acts of omission and commission, is causing another crisis that will be at the scale of what happened in 2015.
For our audience, you're telling the cartels have a wristband system?
I mean is this organized as like Live Nation has Bruce Springsteen concerts?
That these things are that sophisticated with computer programs and they have the different cartels and also the payment schedule so that they know even when they get across the border they still may owe more money and they've got it all logged in?
Is that what you're telling the audience that your knowledge is?
unidentified
And we've got a previous Texas Highway Patrol officer who runs triggers, tripwires and triggers, and he keeps track of all of this on the border in Texas.
And they started noticing all of these wristbands.
And so he went to the cartel through his sources and found out that this is indeed what's happening.
And yeah, it's unbelievable that they've become this sophisticated and that they have such, you know, ways of making money.
Human trafficking, sex trafficking, and Honestly, Steve, I'm looking at this as a treasonous act of our government because they have opened these borders, they're encouraging these people to come, and it's not only about the safety of Americans anymore, it's about every individual life that these cartels touch has now become just collateral damage or, you know, sex slaves or human slaves that come into the United States.
steve bannon
I know you've been very focused on law enforcement officers and others that have been killed in the line of duty because of illegal aliens, but I know also you're very worried about the people coming up by these cartels that are just being thrown out like trash and treated like really pack animals.
I want to go to this horrible story.
And we really kind of talked about it today and it was amazing.
I got so much feedback because it came out of ProPublica.
Which is not a right wing site, but a lot of people have not really talked about the details.
They talk about the horrific nature, how many people died in this traffic accident down with the SUV.
But ProPublica is basically reporting that the two SUVs.
Had all the seats taken off except the driver's seat and I think riding shotgun, which is another cartel member, but that one van that would seat eight people had 25 human beings in it.
The other van had 18 human beings in it.
Marianne, you're an expert at kind of focusing on this stuff.
Explain to people in our country, how can that possibly happen?
How can we allow a system that allows 18 of 25 human beings to be packed into a vehicle set for eight?
And I take it that some of the accidents wherever were caused because of the mechanical and structural problems that these vans were having.
How does this happen?
And how cold-blooded are these cartels?
unidentified
They're very cold-blooded.
They have no regard for human life.
It's all about making the money off of these human beings that are trying and being encouraged to come here.
But, you know, this whole trip, this whole fiasco started when they cut a 10-foot section of Obama's old wall out of the border.
Two of those vans came through that area.
So, yes, the integrity of those vehicles is in question.
They were traveling through the desert and over rough terrain with 25 people in it, and then the driver.
You know, what do they think is going to happen?
These people don't understand the laws in our country and the way that they drive, the way that they do.
We've got so many areas in southern Arizona, Steve, where we've got border walled up, but there's floodgates underneath them that vehicles can be driven through.
Our border is far from being secure.
And what President Trump was doing was going to be bringing semblance to our border.
and protect the people in the United States and to protect these people.
There's hundreds and thousands of these people still heading our way from Guatemala, Honduras and all of these places. Where are they going to go?
They have shut down the economy of the United States, yet they are releasing COVID positive patients that they have tested into the interior of the United States.
What's the quickest way for another lockdown?
Bring a bunch of COVID positive patients from across the border and start putting them into the interior of the United States.
steve bannon
The National Pulse has been reporting what, one in every 20 has been testing positive for COVID and they send them right into the interior of the country.
Okay, real quickly, Marianne, we're going to go back to where those people are.
We're going to go back in a moment to Ben Berquam at the camps in Tijuana.
Before I do that, real quickly, you've done this for years.
April and May of this year, when it starts to warm up, they've had these horrific winters in Texas and Arizona's been cold.
April and May, when it starts to warm up, how big a crisis right now do you see building on our southern border, ma'am?
unidentified
They're saying that we can expect a million people by April or May of this year.
And of course, you know, the temperatures here in the Arizona desert get extremely high.
There will be a lot of people dying in the deserts of Arizona and the same in Texas.
And again, it's because of the disregard for human life.
steve bannon
Okay, Marianne, how do people get to you on social media, or how do you get to your website to find out more about Angel Moms and your work?
unidentified
AngelFamilies.org.
You can reach me at Marianne at AngelFamilies.org through email, and Angel Families United on Facebook, and I do have a podcast that I'm doing, a 15-minute podcast, once or twice a week, that I do post on our Facebook page.
steve bannon
Perfect.
Thank you, Marianne Mendoza from the Angel Moms.
I want to go now back to the board.
I think we've figured out our technical problems.
Ben and Oscar El Blue from the Border News Network.
Ben from Real America's Voice.
So Ben, Marianne's saying, hey, there could be a million people up here by April or May.
Are these camps noticeably building every day with more migrants coming in, more people that want to cross our border coming in, more people that will be seeking asylum?
Is this building every day?
ben bergquam
Yes, Steve, is that better?
I just want to make sure we're good on the audio before I go on a long rant.
How's that sound?
steve bannon
It's perfect.
ben bergquam
Perfect.
Okay.
So yeah, no, it is.
It is.
In fact, every day the camp here is getting larger and camps all over the city.
There's 1,500 people here, but there's over 20,000 in the city of Tijuana in the outskirts.
There's 100,000 that are already lined up at the southern border all the way along from California to Texas.
And that number continues to grow.
The bright spot in all of this has actually been COVID and the populist movement that we've seen starting to develop in places like Guatemala, where they've realized the impact these caravans have had and said, enough is enough.
We're actually getting a better fight, a stronger fight from Guatemala on stopping the caravans from coming up.
But you still have a huge push from people in Mexico.
The economy here is even worse than in the United States.
And so there are at least a million people easily could try to cross this year.
And I anticipate that number is actually going to be higher.
Border Patrol says we only catch one-third to one-fifth, and they're catching about a million a year.
So that's somewhere between three and five million on heavy years of what's actually crossing.
steve bannon
Real quickly, got about 30 seconds for Oscar.
Oscar, 20,000 people in the Tijuana area.
Does Tijuana have enough resources right now to take care of the hard-working citizens in Tijuana, the Mexican citizens, without another 20,000 there?
oscar blue ramirez
No, we don't.
We are going through an economical collapse right now.
Tijuana, for the second year in a row, under the administration of AMLO, is the number one city more violent and delinquent in the world with cartel activity.
You know, Mexico is number one for cartel activity, number two for child trafficking, and number two for killings of women.
And the kidnappings right here And Tijuana is going real strong and our economy is not growing.
This is not profiting nothing to the Tijuana citizens.
Businesses are closing.
Taxi drivers are having a hard time.
unidentified
Oscar, hang on one second.
steve bannon
We'll take a short break and return to Tijuana, Mexico in a second.

You got to have a pillow for my pillow, plus all the other great products, which we will get into detail in the days and weeks ahead.
OK, we got Mike McCormick from Biden unauthorized.
We're going to get to all that.
Rahim Hassan has been putting pressure on the White House.
They folded today.
Rahim's got another.
I don't know if it's a scalp or it's just a fold, but basically the the White House has been listening and reading National Pulse, listening to Rahim Ghassan and some big movements today on, was it day 44 of No Accompanied Press Conference.
Okay, let's go back to the border.
Got Oscar El Blue from Border News Network, and of course the one and only Ben Burquam, our traveling correspondent for Real America's Voice.
Just one last thing, you said it's a crisis there on the Tijuana side.
Does this burden, Oscar, get put on the elites of Mexico, the seven families that kind of run the country, or the political elite?
Or is the burden of this migrant village, which looks like it's expanding every day, it's got Biden signs everywhere, is that burden put on the backs of the working people?
uh... men and women of tijuana who bears the burden there of all the of all the uh... of all the expense it takes to to support that and also the crime that comes out of there uh... all the uh... all the additional disease it comes out of there and this is not to demonize the folks from coming up from central america Right?
They're actually rational.
They're seeing incentives to get across into North America, where clearly it's going to be a better deal given the shapes of their country.
So they're responding to incentives.
But who bears the price down there?
The wealthy elite that run the country or the working class people in Tijuana.
oscar blue ramirez
Well, right now, the ones that we have been responsible since 2018, since Mexico re-signed the Globalist Compact of Immigration, has been the Mexican people.
And Tijuana people have been the ones that we have been paying all the federal-funded shelters and everything that these people need.
You know, the Globalist Compact talks about we need to pay them for schools, money, you know, give them education, give them...
Uh, everything that they need their comfort before they migrate to the United States of America and Tijuana citizens.
We have been completely responsible for that.
All the shelters have been Tijuana funded.
Now you got nonprofit organizations that they're coming from the United States of America and they're pushing a lot of fake families, a lot of fake marriages.
A lot of, you know, a lot of irregularities that they can cheat on loopholes and they're coming and they're participating and trying to help.
But a lot of nonprofits are good.
A lot of nonprofits are really bad and they're complicating and they're making the migration factor look really bad in our city.
So, Tijuana citizens are paying a high price for this globalist migration that is happening in our border.
steve bannon
Oscar, thank you very much.
Ben, last question.
This builds every day.
What do people there, when you talk to them, you see the Biden signs, the Biden t-shirts, Joe Biden let me in, Biden 2020.
When you go around and talk to people at the camps, What do they anticipate is going to happen?
Do they think they're automatically going to get in the United States?
I mean, are they anticipating they're going to be in the U.S.
and eventually, because of this radical amnesty bill, get citizenship, be allowed to vote?
I mean, in the minds of the people of the camps that you've talked to, what do they think their real status is?
ben bergquam
Yeah, you know, it's just like we see from the propaganda media in America.
The lies continue to be told.
The mainstream media continues to push those lies.
And so a lot of the people you talk to here think that Biden is the savior, that Biden's going to save their day, that everyone here is going to be let in.
But as the days and weeks and potentially months go by, they're going to start to realize that that's not the case.
And if that ends up happening, when they do get in, America is going to realize that Biden is America last, where President Trump was America first.
We're actually right next to the place, right across the canal here, where they tried to invade, where they tried to storm it just last year.
And we saw the National Guards out there and they were shooting tear gas.
What I anticipate happening is if something doesn't give here soon, in the next couple of weeks, we're going to see more pushes like that towards America, towards our Border Patrol, towards our law enforcement.
And this is at the same time while we have these radical Democrats who just announced today that they sent a letter to our Secretary of State to call on the Mexican government to stop using their military force To police the cartels in Mexico.
It's insane.
It is absolutely insane and it's driven by radical leftist globalist Marxists around the world.
And the only way we stop it is if we continue to grow the populist movement that we see growing in America as well as Guatemala and even here in Mexico.
From what you heard from Blue, Tijuana residents and Mexican residents are realizing these guys aren't on their side.
steve bannon
I just want to real quickly follow up on that Democratic letter about the cartels.
Is there any doubt in anybody's mind down there that the cartels are a criminal organization that care nothing about human life?
That all those people in the camp is just a... they're just looking to monetize those bodies and they could care less about what their fate is.
Is there any doubt down there among people about what the cartels really represent?
oscar blue ramirez
You know, it's unreasonable what these 19 congresspeople, they just wrote a letter to the press secretary and they told them that we need civil police instead of the military.
It is just amazing to believe that, that, you know, if actually, if I come to another Tijuana citizen and tell them, hey, you know what, they want civil police instead of the military.
What Mexican citizens, we want is actual protection.
There's more than 80,000 deaths in the first two years of AMLO becoming The answer is no.
They know how bad the cartel is.
history and now you got all these 19 Democrats that just wrote a letter to say that they want civil police instead of the military.
The cartel over here has more artillery that our own military and you want to put civil police. It's just it's just amazing. So the answer is no.
steve bannon
They know how bad the cartel is. Everyone who lives it because they live with that threat every single day. Steve Ben Burkham, Real America's Voice, Oscar L. Blue from Border News Thank you very much.
Another fabulous report.
Really appreciate it.
We'll get your social media up in a few minutes.
Thank you.
ben bergquam
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
OK, we've got to turn now to Biden because I'm totally confused about what's going on.
That's why I brought him.
So nice to come over this afternoon.
Mike McCormick, the book, Joe Biden, Unauthorized.
Mike's known this guy since and been around him since 2011.
So I want to start, Rahim, with you and then go to Mike.
This is disturbing.
This is a situation, and this is why we're so glad that Axios is finally picking it up now.
We promise you, our audience, we're always going to be ahead of the curve.
We're always going to talk to you about the stories.
You know, this morning we had Raheem's story from May, talking about the crisis in the nursing homes, from May of 2020, to talk about the crisis in the nursing homes, of what they were doing in New York State, but also what they're doing in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey.
Here the same thing we've been talking about.
There's a crisis going to build and I had Miriam and Zosa said, hey, there's sources she's got and she's dialed in down at the border.
The source said, hey, could be a million people up here by April and May.
You see this building every day.
You see these people coming up from Central America.
It's not their fault, they're responding to incentives, they're responding to the logic of, hey, they're telling me I can come up, they're telling me I can come across, right?
There's a new life for me on the other side, everything can be paid for, right?
Why would I live down here?
The cartels are in the middle of it, and the cartels just look at these people as meat.
They look at meat to be monetized.
25 human beings in a SUV.
Go out and look at the SUV in your driveway right now.
Take the seats out in the back, leave the two, the driver's seat, and ride shotgun.
They put 25 human beings in.
These were not small kids.
Ages 16, I think, to 65.
16 to 65.
25 in one van, 18 in the other.
Is Joe Biden on top of things?
I see these schedules.
I don't see the schedule effect.
When we play, let's get up real quickly.
Let's boot up.
Do we have the Jen Psaki thing?
Let me know when that can play.
Let's play Jen Psaki responding to Raheem Kassam.
unidentified
So we're 45 days into the Biden presidency, and he has yet to hold a presser.
At this point in past presidencies, every president, you know, from Reagan had addressed reporters, some of them multiple times.
So why the delay?
jen psaki
And when can we expect the president to Well, first, as all of you know, the president takes questions several times a week.
He took questions actually twice yesterday, which is an opportunity for the people covering the White House to ask him about whatever news is happening on any given day.
We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks before the end of the month, and we're working on setting a final date for that, and as soon as we do, we will let you all know.
raheem kassam
In the coming weeks.
Before the end of the month, that would take us perhaps another 25 days into the future.
Mike, you know this kind of scenario better than anyone else.
That would set us around about 70 days into administration without a full press conference?
unidentified
And it's not just a Full Prince conference.
He's barely available.
And the press doesn't, they don't talk about it.
They're sitting there in the briefing room.
They're happy to be sitting there and be served up whatever the, whatever John Psaki says.
That's what they wanted.
When, when President Trump started there, I remember talking to some of the same reporters and it was like the fire hose had been shoved right in their face and they couldn't stand it.
They couldn't put up with it.
He had them going into the West.
He had him going in the Oval Office almost three or four times a day.
Joe Biden isn't even, I don't know what he's doing, but he's not available to them anywhere near what President Trump was.
steve bannon
We're coming back after the break.
But does he need three weeks, three and a half weeks to prep for this?
I mean, to get ready for a press conference?
No.
raheem kassam
Trump would walk out... He needs two months.
That's what she's saying.
It's been, it will have been two months by the time they get to this.
It's not two and a half weeks.
It's two and a half weeks from now.
That's two months in plus to the regime.
I am glad, however, that whoever that reporter was asking the question is reading The National Pulse, is listening to The War Room, is going to joanon.com because we have the ticker up there, how long it's been and we will leave it up there until it happens.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to be back in a minute in The War Room.
unidentified
We've got Mike McCormick, the author of the amazing book.
steve bannon
Joe Biden unauthorized Raheem Kassam, editor and publisher and founder of The National Pulse, that has driven this narrative to force Joe Biden.
Smoke him out.
Make it a press conference.
We'll be back in a second.

We're here to make sure that we empower you to give you access to various websites and tools that make you more engaged, if you want to be.
That's why you're listening to the show.
This is not entertainment.
We've now got a new program with a terrific company that's helping us get your immune system up.
Make sure we've got now, we've secured a million bottles of vitamin D3 and also zinc.
This is the starter pack.

We need your immune system up.
We need you healthy.

Okay, we need everybody in the war room.
If you're in the war room, you're in the arena.
If you're in the arena, you have to be healthy.
Speaking of healthy, I don't know about Joe Biden.
I mean, the cover book right here, Joe Biden unauthorized, he's got the glint in his eye.
Look, I come from an Irish family, you know, Joe Biden's like a bunch of the uncles, you know, he's a glad hander, not particularly bright, but he always had that glint in his eye.
His eyes now are dead.
They're dead.
There's something not right there.
And the question gets to be, what's going to happen?
Rahim, you're reporting he's not putting out his public schedule, which Trump always put out.
You have a private schedule, but you have a public schedule.
Kamala Harris, at least as printed up in Playbook, she's always there for these meetings.
Pence was never there.
That's not the role of the Vice President.
You're not another staffer.
You're not there to try to be, to follow the President around.
You're not a Chief of Staff, or a Deputy Chief of Staff, or you're not a Deputy President.
You've got a different deal.
So what is going on here?
What are you telling the audience?
I'll tell you what, tomorrow we're doing a two-hour special.
Dr. P. Navarro is going to be here as my co-host.
We're going to go through for two hours the whole situation of the CCP.
The finance, the global capital markets, national security, the Wuhan virus, Dr. Li-Ming Yang is going to join us, and others.
We've got a couple special guests up our sleeve.
You've got to be here to know everything about where we stand geopolitically, financially and capital.
Next week, we're actually going to do a special.
We're actually going to do a special on the transition of power from Kamala Harris, from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris.
I think it's now we've got to put it on the table and talk about the logistics.
Is that too over the top?
raheem kassam
No, look, because if we don't plan for something, look, there's a reason that newspapers write obituaries for people who don't die for another five or ten years, right?
This is no different.
This is a political obituary, really, and they're giving us every reason, as editors, that we should prepare for something like this, that the constitutional law must be consulted, that the process must be understood by the public, and that I think, you know, we have to make sure that, because If we don't do it here, if we don't start it here, what do you think, you know, Adam Kinzinger is going to start researching this?
You know, absolutely not.
The Republicans on Capitol Hill will be nowhere, anywhere near ready to deal with something like that and the process that, you know, has to be undertaken For that transfer of power to happen.
So we will be discussing it in long form in a very special next weekend show.
It's about time we did, actually.
I think a lot of people want to understand, hey, she's living at Blair House because it's super close to the White House.
She's not up at the Naval Observatory.
The excuse is it's undergoing renovations.
I didn't remember any renovations being planned, by the way, before there was no public announcement of that.
Not to my knowledge, at least.
Happy to correct the record if there was.
I look for these things.
I didn't say anything.
She's right there, and she's following him around every day, and she's not following him around like a puppy.
unidentified
She's stalking him like the Grim Reaper.
steve bannon
The Democratic Party has to answer questions here.
How is this not vetted in the entire process?
How are we less than two months into this administration, and we're talking about a guy not showing up.
We're cutting him off from questions the other night, I think from the congressional delegation.
Right?
He's not able to stand up and answer questions at a press conference.
You don't feel like he's stepping into any decisions and owning the decision.
How did the media, how did the Democratic Party, how did we get in a situation?
And we know that we can drive narrative.
That one we've got down.
And we're going to start driving the narrative on this because it has to happen for the good of the country.
I'm not trying to pick on a guy, but there's just too much going on here now and we've got crises, humanitarian crises, that are building around us.
And this thing on the border is going to have to take some smart decisions, some tough decisions, some well thought through decisions.
Is this guy up to it or not?
Mike McCormick.
unidentified
Joe Biden is lost in the White House.
I just have this vision of him shuffling around in the residence in a bathroom in slippers when he should be doing his job.
And the fact is the press are covering for him.
We've got an article in National Pulse right now about Joe Biden.
When he worked as a vice president, he used to have this fancy party that he invited the press to.
It's called the Biden Beach Boardwalk Bash.
It was like a pool party, and they had it at their naval observatory pool.
And the public paid for it?
And the public paid for it, and only progressive press people came.
That's who is covering for him.
White House correspondents, White House reporters, national news personalities are covering for him.
We point to Nora O'Donnell, specifically her.
She did an interview with Joe Biden during the Super Bowl.
She told people in a promotional piece that she did with her network, it was gonna be 20 minutes.
It turned out to be 12 minutes and 46 seconds long.
Where did the eight minutes go?
It looked like they had to edit through stuff because he couldn't get through a sentence.
She did a question on China.
He only answered it for two sentences and she went on to the next thing.
steve bannon
There's a deep problem and we're going to do, by the way, for this special we're going to do Saturday a week from now, we're going to do a run-up every day and talk about this.
We know we can drive narrative.
This has to be put on the table.
When this happens and this is going to happen, how do you transfer power to Kamala Harris?
And quite frankly, how is the fix in on this thing in the first place?
Right?
There's people in there.
They're smart enough.
They know exactly what's going on.
McCormick's been around.
They know what's going on.
The media knows what's going on.
That's why they're all, you know, stepping back.
It's all playing kick gloves.
It's patty cake in there right now.
This is a crisis, a constitutional crisis.
And now we have crises bearing down on us.
OK, I got to put we're so jammed for time.
I got to go to Boris.
Epstein's now joining us.
Let's get up.
I want to get up.
Besides Boris's smiling visage, President Trump lit up Karl Rove like I have not seen somebody lit up in a while with one of those official coming from, you know, President Trump down in Mar-a-Lago.
One of those official things was put up online just taking down Karl Rove being completely incompetent.
But then this came to our attention from someone in Mar-a-Lago.
It gets sent to us, Boris, this invitation.
boris epshteyn
an invitation about Liz Cheney and about a fundraiser if we can put up on the screen what it is. Boris can you walk us through this and how outrageous this is? It's outrageous, it's totally expected. Steve great to be with you. By the way the bomber jacket must be on a milk carton. I don't know what's going on two days in a row, don't like it. Let's get the bomber jacket back. I don't want to have to be putting out an MIA. It's obviously gone to the dry cleaner Boris.
Anybody wearing that plaid on Shabbos doesn't get to talk okay.
It's Shabbos, you can't be wearing that, Rahim.
Mr. McCormick looking nice in that.
steve bannon
He goes with his fake tan.
The dark plaid goes with his fake tan.
raheem kassam
I actually do fake tan.
boris epshteyn
Mr. McCormick looking nice and dapper there.
At least he put himself together today.
steve bannon
He's a successful author, that's right.
boris epshteyn
That's what he is.
Steve, you can't even find your favorite jacket.
Oh, I know.
Hold on.
Rose, I know what happened to the jacket.
Navarro stole it.
Navarro's got it at his house.
steve bannon
That's right.
He's coming back tomorrow.
He's in studio.
boris epshteyn
He's wearing it around all weekend.
So in all seriousness, this invitation is outrageous.
Liz Cheney being hosted by none other than Paul Ryan.
Yes, he the failed vice presidential candidate.
Paul Ryan, the same person who didn't want to be Speaker of the House, then was one of the worst Speakers of the House, not just in the history of the Republican Party, but in the history of this country.
He's hosting Liz Cheney now.
It's almost comical, right?
This, you know, self-congratulating, self-love from a tiny fraction that no longer really has a home in the Republican Party.
I mean, who are the constituents for Paul Ryan and Liz Cheney?
Is it the self-described 10% of the Republican Party that are not getting behind the America First, Make America Great agenda, that are not getting behind President Trump?
So this invitation, they can go have fun, but it's almost like the last supper for these folks.
They can have fun, they can have some drinks, they're probably going to be non-alcoholic, let's be honest, they're not going to be having any fun over there.
But you know what?
This is the end of the party.
This is the end of the road.
For these rhino Republicans, globalist Republicans, that are not out for the rest of the American people and the MAGA movement.
steve bannon
Okay, the reason I want to put the, as soon as Denver gets the invitation up, it's an invitation that we got that was sent to us.
It's a fundraiser being held in the swamp.
Thousands of dollars for everybody has to come for Liz Cheney.
boris epshteyn
Are the Engine Room guys going?
Are the Engine Room grundoons going?
steve bannon
I think we're leaking oil in the engine room.
No, the engine room is definitely not going.
But here's what connects the dots.
What connects the dots is that Paul Ryan is on the board at News Corp, and this is what's giving Karl Rove full reign to take shots at President Trump.
President Trump finally fired back.
We connect dots.
There's no conspiracy, but they're no coincidences.
Paul Ryan's on the board at Fox.
They're giving full reign to go after President Trump every day with Karl Rove, trash talking.
President Trump finally fired back and now you've got this invitation to really a swamp fest, right?
Swamp fest.
In Washington DC.
Raising money for her campaign Hear me loud and clear.
not with Wyoming people, with Paul Ryan. The question gets to be is when are people going to wake up and particularly McCarthy and get her out of leadership? Why is she still in leadership?
Boris, you've been working this story. Why have we not called another vote for why are we not called another vote on leadership to finally broom her and get rid of the stink of the Cheneys?
boris epshteyn
Hear me loud and clear. If Liz Cheney had come out and said, you know what, I made a mistake.
I made a mistake.
I miscalculated.
And I am for the Republican Party, the MAGA movement, and President Trump.
Well, then maybe the vote that they had could stand.
But Liz Cheney continues to stick a knife, stick a knife in the back of Republicans, in the back of everyday Americans.
In the back of the MAGA movement and its leader, President Trump, she has no role whatsoever to play in the Republican Party.
And it's as I've always said, in this invitation that you just saw, the fancy high-dollar virtual fundraiser, so I guess there's definitely going to be no fun.
Liz Cheney is not a congresswoman from Wyoming.
She's the congresswoman from the swamp.
She represents the swamp.
Not the people of Wyoming.
Not her constituents, not the Republican Party.
She is the real, sorry Congressman Eleanor Norton Holmes, she is the real congresswoman from Washington.
steve bannon
We only got about a minute and a half ago, I get to two things.
Number one, when is Stefanik or Lee Zeldin, two people that got stones, two people that have backbone, when are they going to demand a call for another leadership vote to throw Liz Cheney out of leadership?
When is that going to happen?
boris epshteyn
Well, you saw Congressman Zeldin is now contemplating a very important run.
I think we need it.
I think Leader McCarthy should do the right thing.
And it's really simple.
Just listen to your constituents.
Listen to the leader of the movement.
That's President Trump.
And guess what?
percent do everything I can to get Lee Seldon elected. I think Lee Stefanik will be a great conference chair. I'm doing all I can to push toward another vote. I think we need it. I think Leader McCarthy should do the right thing. And it's really simple. Just listen to your constituents. Listen to the leader of the movement.
That's President Trump. And guess what? Maybe then President Trump's name can go back on the NRCC fundraising emails and fundraising swag.
But for now, you've got to play along or no dice.
steve bannon
Okay, Boris, real quickly, what's your social media coordinates, Pete, when we get to you?
boris epshteyn
At boriscp on Twitter.
Boris underscore Epstein on the gram.
Gonna be putting some great stuff blowing up on the gram all weekend.
Boris underscore EPSHTYN at boriscp on Twitter.
God bless, stay strong, and good Shabbos.
steve bannon
Rahim, real quickly, the Paul Ryan connection at Fox.
Is this leading to, you think, now that he's come out for the sport, is this leading to why the Fox is in a total beatdown of Trump all the time?
raheem kassam
Oh, absolutely.
Not just a total beatdown.
It's not a total beatdown of Trump.
It's a total beatdown of MAGA.
It's a total beatdown of America First.
It's a total beatdown of this audience over at Fox.
And now you see what the Fox bigwigs are doing.
steve bannon
Okay, a quick break.
We're going to come back with a very special segment in the War Room next.
unidentified
Stay tuned.
anthony fauci
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
unidentified
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
anthony fauci
Pandemic.
boris epshteyn
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
raheem kassam
One of my favorite stories that I found over the last couple of days was this story of this 105-year-old who beat COVID-19, crediting gin-soaked raisins.
Lucia DeClercq, the oldest resident of New Jersey in the nursing home, tested positive for the virus on her 105th birthday, and has said that she's beaten it with one of my favorite things ever.
And by the way, the way I found this out, I just have a Google Alert on the word gin.
So that's how it came about for me.
But prayer, prayer, prayer, she says.
And ginseng raisins.
And we have a very special segment.
steve bannon
So Lucia, your story has so inspired us.
And you're such a great American.
That what we did, we commissioned a portrait from the great Lee Brown, one of the top portrait artists in the country for you to go to in your room and then to go to your family.
So we're just honored to be part of your story.
It's amazing.
You're a huge inspiration.
Lee, why don't you tell us how you do this?
unidentified
Yeah, it was an honor.
Thank you so much.
Your story was really inspirational.
raheem kassam
Look at that.
steve bannon
That's amazing.
So that's a portrait of you from one of the top portraitists in our country, Lee Brown.
unidentified
Thank you.
They made a portrait of you, a top portrait artist.
They want to send it to you and you can share it with your family.
Oh my goodness.
That's wonderful.
I don't know how I became famous all of a sudden.
raheem kassam
You're very famous.
steve bannon
You're very famous.
unidentified
The War Room is a global show, and our audience just absolutely loves you.
raheem kassam
Can we ask about the gin-soaked raisins?
This is something our audience is very interested in lately, and so am I. Can we know about the gin-soaked raisins every day?
unidentified
Can you tell about the gin-soaked raisin?
How you do it?
Yes.
I will.
When he asks me.
Yeah, he's asking about the raisin.
How do you do it?
Get a jar.
And get you a pound box of golden raisin.
They have to be golden.
Fill the jar up with it.
To the top.
Get a gin and top it off.
Top it off.
Top the raisins off.
Set it in the cupboard for nine days.
For nine days.
After nine days, eat nine raisins a day.
Not the juice.
Just the, just the, just the raisins.
And after that, I eat raisins a day.
Every day.
And that'll cure anything.
raheem kassam
And Lucia, I read in the New York Times, you said the secret to your long life is prayer, prayer, prayer.
Is that right?
unidentified
Do you pray every day?
Prayer, prayer, prayer?
24-7.
And I talk to God.
Continuously.
And I can vouch for the fact that she is always talking to God.
I am.
Yes.
raheem kassam
Amazing.
steve bannon
Lucia, just in leaving, we're so honored to have you on.
The only request we have from the War Room is please consider when you talk to God and in your prayers for your country because your country needs people like you.
You're a great hero and a great patriot.
So thank you very much for praying for all of us.
unidentified
Please Mother, help me.
Help me.
And D.F. that you pray for the whole country.
Yeah, I do.
I believe you do.
Yes.
I'm praying constantly.
steve bannon
Lucia, thank you so much.
Great honor to have you in the War Room.
And I want to thank Lee Brown for this amazing portrait that we're going to send up for you and your family up to the nursing home.
So thank you so much.
Great honor.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, yeah.
steve bannon
I want to thank Lucia DeClercq, the very special team out in Denver, Real America's Voice, for helping us make that segment, and also for Lee Brown, who drew another great portrait.
Just very special.
Prays every day, 24 hours a day, talks to God, and got through COVID-19.
As she said, she's got a formula that will, a prescription that will cure anything.
Gin-soaked raisins.
Put them in a big jar, a whole pound of them, soak them for nine days, and then you eat nine a day.
But don't drink the juice.
raheem kassam
Can't promise her that.
Can't promise her that.
I just want to think very quickly as well, given that Lucinda Clerk is praying for everyone and for the country every day, I think we should all be saying a prayer for her also.
And say a prayer for me after I try the gin-soaked raisins.
steve bannon
Well, I got to tell you, that is what makes America great, that toughness right there and just a very special, very special woman.
Mike McCormick, thank you, the author of Joe Biden Unauthorized.
He's going to join us back here Saturday a week.
We start talking about what it's going to take to the transition.
raheem kassam
I love these bumper stickers.
Mike McCormick's got these on his website now.
You can get them.
steve bannon
Trump was right.
Joe was useless before.
He nailed that one.
Okay, tomorrow, Dr. Peter Navarro is going to join us in the War Room.
We take two hours, actually go through everything about the Chinese Communist Party today, particularly the Wuhan virus, what's the status of that, the status of these vaccines all coming out, plus the geopolitics, the finance, how it's going to impact your life.
Not your children's life, not your grandchildren's life, your life.
And I think as we leave today, I think Raheem's got it right.
We'll be back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow, but let's say a prayer for Lucia DeClercq, just an unbelievable woman and an inspiration to all of us, particularly with her formula, her recipe for ginseng raisins.
raheem kassam
Podcast is up as well.
Really interesting conversation.
You should check out the front page of the Daily Mail tomorrow in the UK.
Boris has got big problems.
Talk about it on the podcast.
steve bannon
This is outrageous about the funds that's going around over there.
That's another one Raheem Kassam called Boris's, I guess, significant other.
A little more out of, even out of control than some of the wars.
raheem kassam
Tomorrow's news, yesterday.
steve bannon
Okay, we'll see you tomorrow morning, 10 o'clock.
Be in the War Room.
Dr. Peter Navarro, Stephen K. Bannerman.
We'll be talking about the Chinese Communist Party.
Until then, pray for Lucia de Clerc.
