Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| One more thing. | ||
| The vast majority of economists, left, right, and center, from Wall Street to the private economic polling initiatives. | ||
| The economists, as I said, left, right, and center. | ||

Where did the guy's Irish blue eyes go? | |
| I mean, it's not just the stumbling and the obvious beginning of what Mike McCormick says is 50% capacity on this, but what is the story with those dark eyes? | ||
| Those eyes are cold black. | ||
| When you sell your soul, the devil takes your eyes as well. | ||
| Okay, now Madeline Peltz starts off with the first thing. | ||
|

|
No, I'm trying to be serious. | |
| Is that bizarre? | ||
| It's bizarre. | ||
| It's disturbing. | ||
| Very disturbing. | ||
| That's quite a microphone. | ||
| Really disturbing. | ||
| I mean, he's staring dead at the camera. | ||
| It's black. | ||
| He's got these black eyes. | ||
| He can't even make it through one sentence. | ||
| I was listening to that live, by the way. | ||
| I was one of three people who were listening to that live. | ||
| By the way, how many did they have on before the login? | ||
| You've got to tell people. | ||
| I'm subscribed on my YouTube app to the White House feed and I get notifications when they go live so believe it or not I'm at the gym on Saturday afternoon I know it's a weird place to start but I get the notification White House is going live. | ||
| I click it it comes up and I'm waiting and I'm watching and I'm waiting and I'm watching And after a couple of minutes, you know, think about this, he's got 1.5 million subscribers on this account. | ||
| After minutes of waiting, three people watching live. | ||
| Right? | ||
| When he finally kicks off, 1,100 people are watching. | ||
| And I tweeted that, and Twitter suspended me for pointing how bizarre this was. | ||
| Was that the reason you were... So, I go through this thing and I go, hey, how is nobody watching this guy? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And then I said, sounds to me like he got 18 million, not 81 million votes. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| The 81 million to the 18, that's... Boom. | ||
| Give me the hook. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's the... | ||
| We're live from the occupied nation's capital. | ||
| Sixty days of occupation. | ||
| How many days without an unaccompanied press conference or with no handlers? | ||
| Forty-seven. | ||
| Forty-seven. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Monday, the 8th of March, Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
| Show on Saturday was a monster, monster, monster show. | ||
| I think we had almost 400,000 Downloads, right? | ||
| That was all CCP. | ||
| We're going to get more into that today with Frank Gaffney. | ||
| People we couldn't get on the show because we're so jammed for time. | ||
| I want to thank Dr. Peter Navarro for doing that. | ||
| But one of Peter Navarro's aid to camps. | ||
| We're having one of the policy analysts from the Trump White House on the day, Joanna Miller, talked to us about the Equality Act, along with our co-host, Institute co-host, Captain Captain Maureen Bannon. | ||
| On the John Fredericks Radio Network, I want to welcome in, besides our Virginia locations on John Fredericks and of course on the app, he goes nationwide. | ||
| We've also got now WMLB in Atlanta, AM 1690. | ||
| We're causing a little ruckus down there. | ||
| This is the voice of the Trump movement, of the deplorables. | ||
| Later in the day on that network, we come back at 5 o'clock. | ||
| Of course, Doug Collins is on at 3. | ||
| We're on Rumble, Telegram, Roku, Pluto, Gab, all of it. | ||
| And of course, Real America's Voice. | ||
| They're up on The Bird Dish, Channel 219, Comcast, Channel 113, and doing an amazing job with Tudor Dixon and all the... Dr. Gina Loudon, all the big... John Solomon, breaking stories, breaking news all day long. | ||
| sure you keep it to Real America's Voice, the streaming service of the Trump revolution. | ||
| I mean that's what they try to counter with. They said, oh right-side broadcast, Real America's Voice got all the traffic during the Trump years. I don't think that's right. | ||
| I'm going to bring in one of the comms guys from the White House to talk about that. | ||
| But first, we're going to get, we've got a new columnist for Newsweek. | ||
| Every time it comes to the War Room, they all get bigger and better deals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's because they get ideas. | |
| They know getting out of the serfdom of the War Room. | ||
| Boris Epstein's got a brand new lead column on the site of Newsweek Magazine, the International Powerhouse, that is, Newsweek, that competes with Time Magazine. | ||
| Boris Epstein's got a screaming headline up there about Joe Biden, about his first couple of months in office, and what's happening, particularly at the border. | ||
| Boris, thank you very much. | ||
| I want to go back to what Rahim talked about, and he got suspended for Twitter on, and I think our audience needs to know, is anybody actually watching I mean, isn't this a tell about the phoniness of this? | ||
| Obviously, he's capacity limited. | ||
| The White House is putting a real Praetorian guard around him so he's never unaccompanied. | ||
| He never kind of wings it. | ||
| Everything's on the glass. | ||
| Everything's on teleprompter, but he can't even do that. | ||
| And he's just stumbling around. | ||
| But in particular, he's got these dead eyes, which I think is very concerning, very eerie. | ||
| And I can see why people are sitting there going with all these theories out there about about what it is. | ||
| So Boris, walk us through your thoughts on that. | ||
| And it's not true. | ||
| You know, this whole thing about real right side broadcasting and Real America's Voice had all the had all the streaming. | ||
| And so the White House, the White House is putting a massive numbers. | ||
| Plus, you had those guys out there doing streaming. | ||
| So talk to us about, first off, Biden, your assessment, the column. | ||
| Where do you think we are with Biden? | ||
| They're high-fiving now that they passed the 1.9 trade. | ||
| It's not totally passed, but they're skipping around that they've got that done. | ||
| What's your assessment? | ||
| Steve, great to be with you. | ||
| Great to be with two Bannons today. | ||
| Real amazing, real exciting. | ||
| We've got Captain Bannon, we've got Steve Bannon, and the third Bannon, the bomber jacket's back. | ||
| I know all of America's excited about that. | ||
| Nobody really could deal with the fact that all you had is Steve Bannon, a black shirt, and a bunch of pens. | ||
| I had to do that for our analysis later of the poor Queen. | ||
| They're coming after the Queen with Archie, so I had to do that. | ||
| I had to go full English today. | ||
| Good, good. | ||
| You got full English. | ||
| You got Captain Bannon, Bomber Bannon, and of course the one and only Raheem, the image of whom at the gym I won't be able to get out of my head now for the rest of the day. | ||
|

|
Rahim's throwing up 50 pounds on the bench press. | |
| Now we know. | ||
| The reasons at the gym, and this has nothing to do with, I think they're locking in the date for the wedding, so Rahim is now fully locked in. | ||
| I'll be looking for my invite. | ||
| So, in all seriousness, the column I put out joins the two major issues that Joe Biden has right now. | ||
| One, that he's a non-existent president. | ||
| And what I start with is I say the Biden administration is a disaster, and then I go into the fact that whenever President Trump skipped the swampy nonsense of Washington, D.C. | ||
| traditions, like the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the press court went nuts. | ||
| They got triggered. | ||
| But with Joe Biden, no address to the joint session, which is the tradition in the first year. | ||
| It's not called the State of the Union. | ||
| It's an address to the joint session of Congress. | ||
| No press conference. | ||
| And he's not the one that's calling world leaders. | ||
| Most of them are being called by Kamala Harris. | ||
| She called Prime Minister Morrison of Australia. | ||
| She called Franc Cohn. | ||
| She's calling Macron. | ||
| She's calling others. | ||
| So that's what's happening. | ||
| And Joe Biden is obviously not in control of the White House, not in control of the Oval Office. | ||
| Frankly, the vision of him on Saturday was disturbing. | ||
| It was disturbing as a human being. | ||
| And then you look at the migrant crisis. | ||
| and that is our leader. That if someone were to attack the United States of America militarily, that is the person that we are expected to respond with? | ||
| Come on. And then you look at the migrant crisis. The over 700% increase in children being transferred by CBP to HHS. | ||
| Referred from CBP to HHS. | ||
| Over seven times more this last week than a week in January. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| That is a migrant crisis that's being caused by none other than Joe Biden and his team saying, we're open. | ||
| Doors are open for entry. | ||
| Come on in. | ||
| And people are coming from all the way in South America, through Colombia, up through Mexico. | ||
| We've seen Ben Berkman's done a great job on your program showing the 10 cities in Tijuana with bigger Biden rallies than we ever saw during the campaign. | ||
| So we have a non-existent president. | ||
| Whose team has thrown open the border, and now we think that president is going to be the one dealing with the migrant crisis? | ||
| The humanitarian crisis? | ||
| The national security crisis? | ||
| And it's reminiscent to, and we talked about this on your program, to what Angela Merkel did in Germany in 2015-2016, when she let over a million migrants into Germany, saying, no, it's going to be fine, everyone's going to assimilate. | ||
| But no one really assimilated. | ||
| They're spending over 20 billion dollars per year in Germany, which has a much smaller budget than we do. | ||
| On dealing with the migrant crisis. | ||
| So it's a miracle. | ||
| OK, let me give you the counter. | ||
| Let me get it. | ||
| OK, now Biden's doing it. | ||
| It's a disaster. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| We only got it. | ||
| We only got a couple of minutes here. | ||
| Let's let's I want to go back to your column in Newsweek magazine. | ||
| The new columnist for Newsweek, Boris Epstein, joins us in the column. | ||
| You know, you're going through how Biden's on top of things. | ||
| He's got the dead eyes. | ||
| He's, you know, the border crisis. | ||
| And you go through the litany of of of covid, all that of the relief bill. | ||
| But let me take you from their perspective. | ||
| They're going to say, hey, we hear Boris Bannon, all these guys on Worm, all the guys on Fox. | ||
| But here's what they're going to say. | ||
| We've got $1.9 trillion to finance this mess right now. | ||
| Infusion of cash into the economy, OK? | ||
| We've got now 69% of the American people, I think the latest poll says, oh, they're open to take the vaccine. | ||
| They're going to be ripping on this vaccine. | ||
| And they're coming because the Trump administration worked things so organized That they got another reconciliation I think they can use to get a two trillion dollar, what the Washington Post is drafting off what we've been talking about, two trillion dollar infrastructure bill in the fall. | ||
| So he's going to fuse four trillion dollars, put it up on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, they don't care. | ||
| Four trillion dollars infused into the economy. | ||
| They're opening it up because they got the vaccine. | ||
| They're going to now be working with these states to open it up. | ||
| And so by early 2022, and the bond market is telling you this, This thing's going to be white-hot. | ||
| It's going to be a white-hot economy and the vaccines going off and all the pent-up demand of the American people. | ||
| I think it's $1.7 trillion of savings people haven't had because of the drop in aggregate demand. | ||
| They haven't had a chance to spend anything. | ||
| What say you, Boris Epstein? | ||
| That's their plan. | ||
| They're coming at the four verticals with the Equality Act we'll get to, the H.R. | ||
| 1, the Amnesty Bill, all of that, but they're going to finance it first, open the economy up with a vaccine, you know, basically created by President Trump, and Bob's your uncle. | ||
| Bob is not your uncle, and here's why. | ||
| This is the first stimulus bill to be passed in a partisan manner. | ||
| Why was it partisan? | ||
| Because only $600 billion, about $600 billion of the almost $2 trillion, is actually going to deal with COVID in any real way. | ||
| You've got over a billion dollars going to Amtrak, $1.5 billion going to Amtrak, one of the biggest infrastructure disasters in American history. | ||
| You've got over $100 billion going to schools, but none of it this year. | ||
| Schools are remaining closed. | ||
| $350 billion is going to state and local governments. | ||
| Who knows for what? | ||
| Open-ended. | ||
| Just a cash bonanza. | ||
| That's not going to the taxpayer. | ||
| That's not going to the American people. | ||
| That's going to bail out blue states, blue cities, places like New York State and New York City, where Andrew Cuomo was the poster child, the golden child of Democrats Schools are closed, borders are open. | ||
| How are we doing in the country? | ||
| and now is one of the most embarrassing politicians in recent history. So I think this stimulus in the end is actually going to hurt Democrats because it plays into the narrative that they are irresponsible with the taxpayer money and that's exactly what they are. Schools are closed, borders are open. Schools are closed, borders are open. How are we doing in the country? | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Boris, get us your social media coordinates. | ||
| We've got to bounce. | ||
| Give us how people can get to you now that you're the new columnist at Newsweek Magazine. | ||
| Thanks so much, Steve. | ||
| Maureen Bannon, Captain Bannon, great to be with you. | ||
| Raheem, I'll see you at the gym. | ||
| We'll have a bench press contest any day. | ||
| An eating contest, too, if you want. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| At BorisEP on Twitter, Boris underscore Epstein, Boris underscore EPSHTEYN on the gram. | ||
| Just put up my latest column on both of those, at Boris if you're on Twitter, Boris underscore EPSHTEYN on Instagram. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Stay strong. | ||
| Thank you, Barskay. | ||
| We put that into the live chat. | ||
| Now, because of this border crisis that's happening, we've got Michael Yan down in Columbia. | ||
| We've had Ben Bergquam. | ||
| We're going to get footage for him this afternoon. | ||
| Michael Yan, we're going to try to get Michael Yan from South America either tonight or tomorrow morning. | ||
| And we've got next, Mark Krikorian, Center for Immigration Studies. | ||
| Governor Abbott in Texas has thrown down Project Lone Star. | ||
| They're going to try to stop it themselves in Texas because of the meltdown of the federal government. | ||

Okay, we'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. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| I'm going to do this even before the read. | ||
| Massive breaking news coming out just a minute ago. | ||
| Mr. Rahim Kassam. | ||
| Senator Roy Blunt, Missouri, announces, quote, after 14 general election victories, three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections, I won't be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate next year. | ||
| If you take the dictionary and flip up into the swamp, The creature that comes out of there is Roy Blunt, probably one of the most corrupt families around. | ||
| There was a bunch of breaking stories about their new lobbyist gig, I think with Cutter, that was going to come out. | ||
| Eric Greitens is going to be our co-host tomorrow. | ||
| He's always scheduled to be our co-host. | ||
| We're trying to get Eric Commander Greitens on the phone. | ||
| This is huge for the MAGA movement, because this is business as usual, Roy Blunt. | ||
| I gotta tell you, I think it shows that there's a change coming led by President Trump and the MAGA movement, the America First movement. | ||
| This is big news. | ||
| He's a guy that always thought he could be majority leader if Mitch McConnell would be out of the way, so a member of leadership. | ||
| And by the way, Stan, this guy was Singing the praises of Joe Biden. | ||
| I mean, it was absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| OK, I want to go back now. | ||
| Look, we hit this thing every day with high energy. | ||
| Actually got Captain Bannon up here at four o'clock in the morning, got her rolling. | ||
| But you got it. | ||
| If you want to do that, you need to have a good night's sleep. | ||
| MyPillow.com is the place to go for everything you need for high energy, a high energy day. | ||
| It starts the night before. | ||
| We've got a special deal up to 66% off a lot of the products when you go to MyPillow.com, but discounts on everything, particularly they've given us a one-time good deal. | ||
| This is the Queen Size MyPillow 2998, normally $69.98. | ||
| But I've talked to many colleagues that have gone on during this time. | ||
| We've got the promo code War Room. | ||
| You have to use that promo code War Room. | ||
| When you go on, people are telling me they're getting unbelievable discounts. | ||
| So make sure you go there today. | ||
| MyPillow.com. | ||
| You've got to put the promo code in War Room to get up to the 66% discount. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Other breaking news on Saturday, Governor Abbott started taking control. | ||
| You saw Boris's op-ed piece or column in the Newsweek magazine. | ||
| This crisis on the border is only starting to build. | ||
| I want to go now to Mark Krikorian, who has joined us from the Center for Immigration Studies. | ||
| Overall, this thing seems like a bigger and bigger fiasco. | ||
| We've got Michael Yon, one of our correspondents down in South America. | ||
| He's going to be reporting about how things are, you know, people are heading north, right? | ||
| Because of the incentives. | ||
| These are rational folks. | ||
| They're heading north. | ||
| He's going to be in Central America later in the week. | ||
| We've got Ben Berquam for Real American News. | ||
| He's been down in Tijuana, into the tent cities down there, on a city that can't afford any more people to come. | ||
| And I think they've got 20,000 in Tijuana right now and 1,500 in the camp that he was at. | ||
| Mark, what about Governor Abbott, is that a cry for help when the governor of a state has got to say, hey, if the federal government's not going to do this, I'm going to get the Texas Rangers, the Department of Safety, DPS in the state, maybe even start thinking about building their own wall? | ||
| What can he actually do? | ||
| And how big a cry for help is this? | ||
| It's clearly a cry for help, but there's a limit to what the state can do. | ||
| For instance, National Guard has sometimes been used on the border, not just in Texas, but elsewhere. | ||
| And that can be a useful thing, but they always work with the Border Patrol, supporting the Border Patrol. | ||
| In this case, there's some things Texas can do. | ||
| If there's like drug dealers and they catch them with dope, well then there's state charges they can prosecute them for. | ||
| But a regular illegal immigrant, you know, maybe they could cite them for trespassing or something, but if they hand them over to the Border Patrol, will the Border Patrol even take them? | ||
| Uh, you know, and the issue is not the Border Patrol agents, obviously, but the suits in Washington. | ||
| And so, so really, more than a strategy that will actually fix things, this is an important indication of how bad stuff is down there. | ||
| Uh, could they plug some of the holes in the fence? | ||
| Yeah, they probably could, except that the federal government may already own the land Where those portions of the fence that aren't finished yet were supposed to go. | ||
| And so if the federal government owns it, then you can't build something on somebody else's land. | ||
| So, like you said, this is more a kind of cry for help than it is something that's actually going to be able to fix the problem. | ||
| When you say cry for help, go back and let's reset. | ||
| We keep talking about this, you know, and Trump said it the other day, there's a tsunami building up. | ||
| How big do you think this crisis is going to get in April and May when it starts to warm up down in Arizona and in Texas? | ||
| Well, you know, we don't know numbers. | ||
| I would be reluctant to give numbers, but it's going to be multiple times bigger than it is now. | ||
| And remember, when the crisis that Trump faced a couple years ago started, The news media, the same people in the media, were saying, well, this isn't really a crisis. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| Obama's DHS Secretary, Jay Johnson, whom I disagree with on a lot of stuff, but he's a serious guy, they asked him, they said, well, Mr. Secretary, this isn't really a crisis, right? | ||
| Because orange man bad. | ||
| He said, no, this is really a crisis. | ||
| He said, if we got a thousand people in one day on the border, we sure as heck considered that a crisis when I was DHS Secretary. | ||
| In other words, under Obama, Well, we're way beyond that already, and we're going to get further beyond that until the administration is forced to respond. | ||
| I don't know when that's going to happen, or even if that's going to happen. | ||
| But, you know, if you think about this administration as kind of Jimmy Carter redux, those of you who are old enough will remember he had a migration crisis too, the Mariel Boatlift in Florida, and eventually he had to respond We'll see if this gets bad enough that the Democrats have to respond again. | ||
| The question is, how much damage does it do before they actually get off their butts and do something about it? | ||
| Okay, when you say forced to respond, the forcing function, this is the reason I wanted to have you on and highlight the Abbott situation. | ||
| He right now is the leading voice on this and he's a governor of a state, now it's a border state, but given everything they've put forward with the amnesty bill, given everything they've done with the executive orders to stop the internal enforcement, every indication, every drive of this administration, Where's the forcing function on Capitol Hill? | ||
| Who in your mind is actually stepping up? | ||
| I know we got Numbers USA, we got CIS, we have these great not-for-profit organizations that have been out there either doing the analysis or saying, hey, you got to call your congressman. | ||
| But where do you see leadership? | ||
| You got President Trump, right? | ||
| But where do you see leadership on Capitol Hill among elected officials today, sir? | ||
| Well, certainly not on the Democrat side, except for some people at the border. | ||
| I mean, there are some Democratic congressmen on the Texas border who are putting out the warning. | ||
| I think it's entirely possible. | ||
| I mean, look, we're not in 1979, 1980 anymore when Jimmy Carter's migration crisis happened. | ||
| It's entirely possible they will just let it continue until they get wiped out in the elections next year. | ||
| I'm not saying that I want this to continue, but I don't know that they have a way out of this box. | ||
| Even if Biden would, you know, as if he were actually in charge, might pull back because Biden's instincts are bad, but they're not as radical left as a lot of people. | ||
| The problem is, it's not clear that he, first of all, is even in charge, but that he is in a position. | ||
| To call this off and to say, OK, we're going to start detaining everybody. | ||
| We're going to redo that Remain in Mexico program. | ||
| We're going to threaten Mexico if they don't cooperate. | ||
| I don't know that he has the freedom of movement politically within his own party to be able to do any of that. | ||
| So, you know, I say forced to respond. | ||
| But maybe I was even thinking in old terms. | ||
| I think they're going to be forced to respond when they lose their majority in Congress in a year and a half. | ||
| Well, if they would lose the majority, talking in Texas, those Democratic congressmen are of Hispanic descent that represent overwhelmingly blue-collar Hispanic counties down in South Texas and in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| That's because of Trump's policies on security, the wall, and on jobs. | ||
| So you're saying it's basically Trump's policy? | ||
| Right now you don't say, because it was noticeably absent in your response any Republicans, currently, right? | ||
| You're saying Trump's policies from his administration and what the Hispanic blue-collar folks down in, can look at that down there, you're saying that they see that as the, they see that as the As what's basically going to be the counterweight to lose the election? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| You know, are there Republicans who will obviously take advantage of this? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, Tom Cotton has always been, you know, blowing the horn on this. | ||
| But, you know, Republicans aren't going to be able to have much influence as long as the Democrats control both houses of Congress and as long as Democrats Um, are basically stubbornly pushing this line. | ||
| And I think there's two ways of thinking, two ways of looking at what the Democrats are thinking. | ||
| One is they've actually drunk the Kool-Aid and they think that this, you know, poll data shows that they're on the quote, right side of history. | ||
| The other one is they already know they're going to lose the House in 2022. | ||
| And so they're basically trying to go for broke. | ||
| Get as much done from their perspective as possible. | ||
| And then, you know, if they lose, they'll see that as a temporary setback. | ||
| But I think they may have figured, they may figure they're already going to lose. | ||
| And so do what they can in the next year and a half. | ||
| Mark, how do people follow you? | ||
| You got a very spicy Twitter feed. | ||
| How do people follow you on Twitter and other social media? | ||
| And how did they get to your site, CIS's site? | ||
| Our website is cis.org. | ||
| We've got a blog there with new postings every day. | ||
| And if you like snark and sarcasm, I'm on Twitter at Mark S. as in Steven. | ||
| Mark S. Krikorian. | ||
| And I post a lot on immigration, but a lot on other stuff as well. | ||
| Mark, thank you very much for joining us today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| The S is for spicy. | ||
| S is for spicy. | ||
| Captain Bannon. | ||
| I mean, I agree 100% with what Mark said. | ||

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. | ||
| I want to thank the live chat for getting us in live chat, the live stream. | ||
| You're always getting this information. | ||
| We're crowdsourcing this. | ||
| Somebody's got us a great picture of Biden. | ||
| I think there's actually a better one out there because his eyes are bluer than this. | ||
| I don't know if we can get this up, but you're saying, Rahim, that there are certain medical conditions or certain maybe drugs you're taking that maybe make his eyes this dark void, right? | ||
| Yeah, apparently so. | ||
| I mean, I, you know, I don't know much about this area, but this is what people are saying in the live chat. | ||
| Certain medications will either create that effect, uh, you know, or will, you know, naturally have, you'll have a big glaze in front of your eyes. | ||
| So I want to know what he's taking. | ||
| He's got, that's what they ought to come forward. | ||
| Why is his eye color change? | ||
| It's so noticeable. | ||
| And the picture that they put up is not There's, I mean, this guy had blue, you know, he had that glint of the blue. | ||
| Right, blue. | ||
| Irish eyes, right? | ||
| You know, glint, there was always a glint of, you know, mischievous glint in his eye. | ||
| He's a hellfellow well-met. | ||
| I mean, he's no intellectual genius. | ||
| I'm not sure this guy's got a three-digit IQ, but he was always hellfellow well-met. | ||
| We used to say, guys like that, I think his dad was a car salesman. | ||
| Biden's always drinking what the customer's drinking, right? | ||
| He's a customer's guy, right? | ||
| But he's not no heavyweight intellectual, although he's always wanted to be. | ||

| She's going to join us. | ||
| Joanna, thank you very much for joining us today. | ||
| We're going to talk about the Equality Act. | ||
| I know you're a policy analyst and you've helped deconstruct this. | ||
| You and Captain Bannon, I know, got a lot to say about this. | ||
| But before we get there, remember, we like to focus on the signal, not the noise. | ||
| And so we normally don't chase, like, the story of the day, because we want to get you the important things in your life. | ||
| However, I do believe that this interview last night with the, was it the Markles? | ||
| The Markles. | ||
| The Markle family, the Markles. | ||
| It is, I think, going after an institution, right? | ||
| And I'm not, look, I'm an Irish Republican, so it's not like I'm a big fan of the royal family. | ||
| But this thing really, I think, was pretty extraordinary. | ||
| Raheem, I want you to start, then I want you to get Captain Bannon and join us take on what went down last night, what transpired, and more shrapnels still to come on this thing. | ||
| So Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Joanna, I think it's really brave of you being on here with us this morning after your crushing defeat at the hands of Majesty United this weekend. | ||
| We'll park that for a moment. | ||
| Look, I always hesitate to deal with these stories as well because a lot of it can be noise, but I sat down last night, I turned it on and I was instantly just transfixed with not the stories that Meghan Markle was telling, but the way she was telling them. | ||
| The body language was all off. | ||
| You know, you want to talk about eyes. | ||
| She blinked. | ||
| I think we even have a clip of it. | ||
| She blinked seven times, I counted it, in 2.6 seconds while saying the phrase, that's the truth. | ||
| Well, these are typically tells in a conversation and even- Was she trying to Morse code that she's a prisoner? | ||
| Is that- Well, I think Harry was trying to do that with his, he was like ripping his ring off halfway through the interview. | ||
| I didn't see that at all, by the way. | ||
| Oh, I got the clips. | ||
| I'm happy to spend a lot of time with you after the show. | ||
| He was a disaster. | ||
| I didn't get him, I didn't see him. | ||
| Total disaster. | ||
| Yeah, let's play this clip and then we'll bring Joanna into this. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| I mean, this is blinking seven times quickly in succession. | ||
| Is that a tell for you? | ||
| Is that a tell for you? | ||
| No. | ||
| For the podcast audience, I've blinked seven times in quick succession. | ||
| Look, Joanna, tell us, because I see this, I was actually pitching this story into Steve, and saying, look, this is Signal. | ||
| It's Signal because what Markle, in the same way that Carrie Simmons does, in the same way that Kamala Harris does, is they represent this broader times up thing. | ||
| The problem is, unlike people like Margaret Thatcher... You're saying times up on the, look, she is... On the patriarchy. | ||
| She happens to be the Queen, but you're saying the whole structure of the royal family as an institution is the vestige of the patriarchy that she wants to take down. | ||
| What is the royal family? | ||
| What is the crown? | ||
| The crown in Parliament is Britain's constitution. | ||
| What the crown represents is divinity. | ||
| The crown represents being ordained to lead the nation. | ||
| And who are you ordained by? | ||
| You're ordained by God. | ||
| And God is synonymous with the patriarchy as far as these kind of Crowley-esque neo-Marxists believe. | ||
| So I watch this and I don't see, you know, of course I see a failed Hollywood actress having a moan, right, that she didn't get a security detail. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| That's just, that's hello and people and okay magazine. | ||
| But what I'm seeing deeper here is an attack on institutions. | ||
| And Joanna, I wonder if you could speak to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so from day one, when Meghan Markle stepped onto the royal family scene, she tried to change everything about the way they do things. | |
| It just always became about her. | ||
| She changed everything about how the weddings worked, and then she took her side of the family out of the royal palace. | ||
| And when I hear her start to complain about things like how people were racist to her, but she doesn't wanna say, wanna name drop anybody. | ||
| She made millions in this country as somebody that is half minority. | ||
| And when she talks about things like how she's so put upon and how people are being racist against her, yet she was able to make a huge success out of herself as an actress in this country, and then go and marry somebody in the Royal family. | ||
| It's just very self-centered behavior. | ||
| And it just reminds me that the Democrat party, they don't have a platform unless people are busy complaining about things that aren't actually existing. | ||
| It's kind of like what George Orwell talks about in 1984, this newspeak, and stripping people of their identity and keeping them busy with things, while the Democrat Party is compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, and you have all these distractions going on. | ||
| Hang on, hang on a second. | ||
| Both you guys are burying the lead. | ||
| The lead is, she says, and let's get to it, she says, this institution is the problem with Britain. | ||
| And the problem with Britain, you've got an inherently, systematically, systemically racist country by its structure. | ||
| Not just class, it's also by race. | ||
| Because the buried lead is, and she said it wasn't the Queen, but it was a senior, you know, it was a senior royal. | ||
| That would lead to me to be three, or four. | ||
| It's either the Queen, Phillip, Charles, or William. | ||
| She said this morning that it wasn't Phillip either. | ||
| Okay, so I'm down to, I'm down to, it's either Charles or William, right? | ||
| Maybe throwing Kate in there too. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, that Archie, because they were concerned about what his color would be, right? | ||
| And that's why this thing's systemically racist. | ||
| That's why she felt like, I mean, the bombshell is that, hey, five months pregnant, I'm thinking of killing myself. | ||
| And one of the reasons is they're not going to treat my my baby's not going to be treated like the rest of the family and not like Kate's kids are going to be different because I'm part African-American, Joanna Miller. | ||
| That's that's the point. | ||
| The point is that so what she's saying, hey, this is systemically racist. | ||
| They proved it with me. | ||
| And that's why essentially Raheem and Joanna and Mo, And that's why I took my baby and I went to the United States. | ||
| Ms. | ||
| Joanna Miller, your response? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, you know, she wants to talk about that, but at the wedding, I mean, they made so many changes to make her culture feel more welcome. | |
| They had a gospel choir at the royal wedding. | ||
| I mean, that's unheard of. | ||
| They're making all these changes and then she wants to talk about that and not name-drop people and just wants to put the royal family on blast. | ||
| It just makes no sense to me. | ||
| It just says that these problems probably aren't really in existence and she's just worried about herself and her own image. | ||
| I mean, they made all these changes to make her feel welcome and into the family and then she's just putting them on blast and not willing to disclose what actually happened. | ||
| So to me, it just seems like a bunch of crap. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I honestly agree. | ||
| I think that it has nothing to do with race. | ||
| I think that she was out of the spotlight, and so this is something to get her back in the spotlight. | ||
| I mean, going on, she sued a media outlet for publishing a private letter between her family, and then she goes on Oprah, and she tells all about the royal family! | ||
| And she doesn't like the glamour either. | ||
| Do we have the Megyn Kelly poll that we pulled earlier? | ||
| This is such an important point that Joanna just made and I totally forgot about it. | ||
| They had the gospel choir at the wedding and not just that, it wasn't just signalling, Britain as a whole actually loved it. | ||
| Britain embraced it and they said, fine, welcome, you're more than welcome. | ||
| And then what happened is Markle ended up spending less time in the United Kingdom than I've spent in Costa Rica on vacation. | ||
| And then complained about how terrible the country is. | ||
| What about the glamour thing? | ||
| What about she says, I'm not into the glamour, but she had the blood diamonds on from MBS. | ||
| And she had, I take it, invited Oprah and George Clooney and didn't even know them, right? | ||
| She wanted to glam this thing up. | ||
| Listen, she compared herself to the Little Mermaid during the interview. | ||
| This is how ridiculous and risible it is. | ||
| She said that she never investigated the royal family. | ||
| She's trying to connect to an American audience by that. | ||
| Massively. | ||
| And she said she never talked about the royal family before. | ||
| Well, we know that's not true because there's biographies which say that she watched Diana's funeral and owned the books and consumed it and said that she was going to be the next Diana. | ||
| So none of it made sense. | ||
| It was all a tissue of lies. | ||
| But here's why it's important. | ||
| Because this stuff does have global geopolitical ramifications. | ||
| Whether or not you understand the point of the monarchy and the constitution, look, it's not just a ceremonial thing. | ||
| Whether you understand that or not, Macron Last week or two weeks ago talked about the the U.S. | ||
| exporting wokeness to the rest of the world and this is precisely what Markle has tried to do to the royal family as well. | ||
| The difference being here now Harry is just I mean it's it's Simp City there unfortunately but but Harry is showing the great difference between him and his brother. | ||
| Will ain't woke right he just he just is not And so the British public are looking at the distinction between these things now and thinking, which way do we go? | ||
| And they are going to end up with Will and Kate. | ||
| Well, in answer to your comment about the glamour, I think that's 100% a lie. | ||
| She is all about the glamour. | ||
| I mean, she got upset before the wedding when she couldn't take a tiara that she was supposed to wear at the wedding to her hair appointment. | ||
| And then she got Harry involved in order to do it. | ||
| So I think she's 100% about the glamour. | ||
| You think she lied? | ||
| I think 100% she lied. | ||
| Okay, here's a smoking gun, and Jonah, we've got to jump in here. | ||
| Don't be shy around the mic. | ||
| We've got about a minute and a half left. | ||
| Rahim Ghassan. | ||
| Whether she got married three days beforehand in a ceremony, did they have the Archbishop of Canterbury, they had somebody from the Church of England actually do that? | ||
| Is that true or false? | ||
| Oh, I have no idea. | ||
| I know people are investigating that. | ||
| What do you hear? | ||
| Your sources are impeccable. | ||
| In the United Kingdom. | ||
| What are you hearing? | ||
| People are just not interested in that. | ||
| What they're interested in now... How can they not be interested in that? | ||
| There's a smoky... No, that's noise. | ||
| That's noise, right? | ||
| Oh, a ceremony took place in a different thing, whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, the point here is... No, I'm saying, did it actually happen or not? | |
| The marriage? | ||
| The early marriage? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Nobody cares about that. | ||
| What they care about... If it didn't happen, what do you think that makes it worth the interview? | ||
| What they care about here is that you have somebody who was welcomed into the family, who is now openly attacking the institution, is really trying to bring it down, the institution. | ||
| You think that's what she's trying to do? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Why do you say that? | ||
| No offense to the audience here, but because she has been taught nothing about the British Constitution, about the history of the United Kingdom... But she said last night, you guys are okay, but if you listen to her interview, she said... She didn't even know what the national anthem was! | ||
| Because she said nobody there, she walked into it, and nobody there prepped her. | ||
| Nobody took the time, and listen to the interview, they said... | ||
| I'm not defending her, I'm just trying to... How can you be a grown human being interested in politics, international relations? | ||
| She took the Foreign Service Officer's Test, failed it by the way, in the United States, and she doesn't know what the UK National Anthem is? | ||
| This woman is a joke, she is a destructive menace, and I'm glad that interview aired last night. | ||
| It's done her no favours. | ||
| Is that the view of the working class people in the UK? | ||
| I made some calls this morning. | ||
| That is absolutely the view. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| Joanna Miller from the White House, former White House aide, will join us with Captain Bannon, Raheem Kassam, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||

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, as outlined in Peter Schweitzer's book, I think it was Throw Them All Out a couple years ago, one of the most corrupt guys, compromised guys on Capitol Hill, Roy Blunt, has said today, no mas, he's not going to run again for re-election, that is massive news for the MAGA movement. | ||
| I want to bring in Eric Greitens now, Commander Greitens, former Navy SEAL, former Rhodes Scholar, former Governor of Missouri. | ||
| Commander Greitens, you're actually working on a piece we had talked about extensively, you're about to drop About the continued corruption, about the Blunt family taking on another lobbyist gig to represent Qatar. | ||
| The single biggest problem with the Abraham Accords has been Qatar working behind the scenes to try to stop President Trump's great, I think should be Nobel Prize winning, efforts in the Middle East. | ||
| What can you tell us about that and what's your assessment of why Roy Blunt finally threw in the tally? | ||
| Does he just want to make more money? | ||
| Really wants to hit the cash register as a lobbyist? | ||
| Well, great to be out with you, Steve, this morning. | ||
| Look, man, the fact is the president needs fighters and he needs people who are willing to fight behind the America First agenda. | ||
| And the fact is that Senator Blunt, you know, over the course, especially people have seen over the course of the last couple of weeks, he kind of threw his lot in with Mitch McConnell. | ||
| He was criticizing the president after January 6th. | ||
| He also, you know, was obviously there. | ||
| Everybody saw him presiding at the Biden inauguration, criticizing the president for not being there. | ||
| My sense is that the president very clearly has indicated that he wants to have fighters who are willing to pursue the America First agenda. | ||
| And of course, that's where the people of Missouri are. | ||
| As to your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, look, absolutely, Trump deserves it when you look at what he did with the Abraham Accords, right? | ||
| Finally normalizing relations. | ||
| Last time this happened was a quarter of a century ago. | ||
| He's got it done with Bahrain, with the United Arab Emirates, with Sudan, with Morocco, but who's opposing him? | ||
| Who's opposing him in the Middle East? | ||
| It turns out it's not just Iran, but you also have Qatar, and it turns out Now, yeah, there's a big piece about to drop that actually Senator Blunt's son is chairman of a firm that's now signed up to lobby for Cutter. | ||
| So, you know, clearly what we need is to have folks who are willing to fight for the America First agenda, Steve. | ||
| Okay, look, let me give some inside baseball to our audience out there. | ||
| This is about a guy being a lobbyist. | ||
| If he loses in the general, I think his value drops 50%. | ||
| If he loses in a primary, it drops like 75%. | ||
| Roy Blunt saw the writing on the wall. | ||
| New President Trump wants people that are going to back his agenda, not just Mitch McConnell cronies, right? | ||
| Back up on Capitol Hill. | ||
| He knew that the America First movement was going to come for him in this primary. | ||
| He made an economic decision. | ||
| That economic decision was, I don't want to lose in a primary to a Trump-backed person, and I'm not going to get Trump's backing. | ||
| Remember, he doesn't even have the job. | ||
| In Lesson 16, President Trump dragged him across the finish line, and all he's done is not support President Trump since then. | ||
| So, Commander Greitens, what can we look for? | ||
| Is that a piece still coming out about their lobbying relationship with Qatar? | ||
| Yeah, Steve, that should be coming out actually this week. | ||
| You're going to see it later. | ||
| So you can look for it later this week. | ||
| It'll have all the details in there. | ||
| And, you know, as you and I have talked about before on the program, not just the details about the lobbying, but you're also going to see, you know, the case for President Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize. | ||
| It's not just the Abraham Accords, which were a huge, huge development in the Middle East, but it was also his approach to it. | ||
| You know, by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, by declaring Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, by taking a harder line with Iran, being willing to go out and kill Qasem Soleimani, he actually changed the Middle East. | ||
| And it's important for all of our viewers and listeners to remember that in doing this, he didn't just take on the left. | ||
| He didn't just take on Iran. | ||
| He had to take on the Republican Foreign Policy Establishment to make that happen. | ||
| And it happened well. | ||
| And it led to these incredible, incredible agreements, the Abraham Accords, which are finally bringing some more peace to the Middle East. | ||
| Commander Gritens, thank you very much. | ||

| 2011. | ||
| Deployed out to the Middle East in these endless wars we're fighting. | ||
| President Trump finally, a great patriot and a strong believer in our military and our veterans, finally stood up, started making some changes so our young men and women don't have to continue another 30 or 40 years of deploying to the Middle East and now massive news today. | ||
| Roy Blunt from Missouri not going to run for re-election. | ||
| That opens up that primary out there to many interesting voices in Missouri. | ||
| Okay, let's go back to Joanna Miller. | ||
| Joanna, we've got about two minutes here and we've asked you to stay over for the next segment also. | ||
| We're going to go hard on the CCP in the next hour. | ||
| But I want to ask you, just lay out the case. | ||
| You've got about two minutes. | ||
| Lay out the case. | ||
| What is this Equality Bill about? | ||
| And how is it going to gut Title IX and women's sports? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so I think one of the worst things about the Equality Act is allowing transgender women, biological men, to compete against females in sports. | |
| The people that wrote this bill, Representative Cicely and people that co-sponsored the bill like Nancy Pelosi, have never competed in high-level athletics a day in their lives. | ||
| They don't know the grit and grind of what it takes to compete as a Division I athlete and even as a professional athlete. | ||
| I personally had that experience. | ||
| I worked since I was eight years old, training seriously, traveling all over the country, working my tail off in the weight room. | ||
| I even trained with boys to become better, but there are physiological differences. | ||
| And so what this bill does is it basically strips those Title IX benefits for female athletes. | ||
| That gives us equal access to funding, facilities, and scholarships. | ||
| If I had to compete against biological males for a scholarship to play soccer at American University, I likely would have never become a semi-professional athlete on the Washington Spirit and been able to train with the professional team. | ||
| And so thank you, Senator Tuberville, for fighting for that and the Votorama on Friday from the horrible COVID relief bill. | ||
| But I think that's probably the worst thing. | ||
| You see these transgender athletes suddenly not making it in their male divisions, but then when they transition... | ||
| And compete against females at the college level. | ||
| It just takes everybody's opportunity who worked so hard to get there and have that one moment to perform just because of things that can't help. | ||
| Physical makeup. | ||
| Joanna, hang on one second. | ||
| We're gonna take a short commercial break. |
