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. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I'm Lauren Bovert, a mom, a small business owner, a defender of freedom. | ||
| Here's what I know. | ||
| You protect what you love. | ||
| President Trump built a big, beautiful wall because he loves America and he wanted to secure our country and protect us from drugs, illegal aliens pouring into our communities, and sex traffickers. | ||
| Democrats, they fought him every step of the way. | ||
| And now, welcome to Fort Pelosi, where Democrats decry walls from within their own heavily guarded razor wire wall. | ||
| Democrats don't want to protect you because they don't care about you, but they'll spare no expense protecting themselves. | ||
| We will not build a wall. | ||
| There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. | ||
| I'm not for a wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's time to cut the crap and remember, this is the People's House. | |
| Madam Speaker, tear down this wall. | ||
| One more thing. | ||
| The vast majority of economists, left, right, and center, from Wall Street to the private | ||
| I want to thank you both and I want to thank the former General, I keep calling him General, the guy who runs that outfit over there. | ||
| I want to make sure we thank the Secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending These two women for promotion. | ||
| Thank you all. | ||
| May God bless you all. | ||
| all and may God protect our troops. | ||
|

|
You've been listening to president Biden marking. | |
| That is the tale of two parties right there. | ||
| Congressman Boebert, tear down this wall, time to cut the crap, and wow. | ||
| Joe Biden. | ||
| We're joined in the War Room today. | ||

| So much happened today. | ||
| The world's exploding. | ||
| We've got a great report. | ||
| We've been doing religious persecution. | ||
| Finally, an independent report that lays out the genocide against the Uyghurs in western China. | ||
| We're going to have Maura Monaghan on, daughter of Senator Daniel Patrick Monaghan, and a fighter for the freedom of the Tibet people and the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Buddhists. | ||
| With an analysis of what's going on in China as they've now been called out to actually being not just Mike Pompeo but an independent assessment to say what the Trump administration did was correct. | ||
| We got so much going on in Georgia. | ||
| The lead story in The Guardian today was the Georgia Senate. | ||
| The American version was not even The complete firestorm you're seeing in the United Kingdom about the Crown versus the Californians. | ||
| Formerly, I guess we can now say, formerly the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. | ||
| Okay, a lot going on there. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, Maggie. | ||
| Maggie, you came back and made a film. | ||
| We're going to see that later. | ||
| The reason we got this inspiration, and Boebert, Congressman Boebert, we had on last week. | ||
| Actually nailed it. | ||
| People have been talking about tearing down this wall. | ||
| We had Lee Brown, the artist, formerly a progressive artist from Brooklyn, now hardcore Trump. | ||
| She now lives in North Virginia. | ||
| She came over here to be in the show. | ||
| She was in tears when she showed up. | ||
| And she was raised in Northern Virginia. | ||
| She says, I cannot believe what the city has become and how the media is not reporting it. | ||
| It's absolutely stunning. | ||
| I know Rahim and the team here have been saying every day, why are McCarthy, why are these people not out there every day hammering this? | ||
| Show us the intelligence. | ||
| Show us the information. | ||
| Why is this? | ||
| In this breaking news from the Capitol Hill police, Jack Posobiec is tweeting out, or retweeting, are they asking now for more Permanent fencing, along the lines of what Maggie saw last night, Fog City Midge, Mr. Rahim Ghassan. | ||
| Well it's interesting, on January the 28th they issued this press release that said that they believe that more physical security infrastructure, including permanent fencing, was required. | ||
| Today's updated statement, or rather I should say yesterday's, Updated statement is much shorter and what it says is we believe enhancements to the capital complex's physical infrastructure are required. | ||
| We also agree we need to increase our manpower and overall response capabilities. | ||
| It doesn't actually talk about perimeter fencing in this updated statement and so I know a lot of the media, conservative media, are saying, hey, this is the Capitol Police doubling down and even maybe asking for more permanent fencing. | ||
| That actually looks like a row back to me, especially, I think, considering what kind of blowback the Capitol Police are getting from residents in the neighborhood. | ||
| But they're still talking about, I mean, Maggie, what did you see last night? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so one of the reasons I wanted to come out to D.C. | |
| is because other than Rahim and National Post, you don't see a ton of coverage about just what really is going on at the Capitol. | ||
| Even my own impressions, looking at photos and watching conservative media, were not correct. | ||
| Last night, I drove around the Capitol twice. | ||
| I did a thorough investigation, and what you see is you've got the fencing without an inch of a gap, and you've got razor wire going, but it's not just around the Capitol. | ||
| It's blocks and blocks surrounding the Capitol. | ||
| Starts at Union Station. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You have to go very far out of your way to even sort of get a view or a glimpse. | |
| It's down by the White House also. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then what I noticed is they actually have a second line of fencing going up that doesn't have razor wire but on the, I guess, what would that be the... | |
| The south side. | ||
| They've got a second line of fencing going up and what was bizarre is last night I was coming back at about 10 30 11 p.m. | ||
| and I saw six trucks with more fencing the same style that I was seeing around the Capitol and so it looks like they're actually bringing in more not taking it away. | ||
| Okay we're getting all of this and what's going on I want to bring up Boris Epstein breaking news out of President Trump finally Mitch McConnell's inner circle is getting the joke. | ||
| You're not welcome anymore, right? | ||
| No more globalist policies. | ||
| They talk about Big Ten. | ||
| Big Ten does not include globalists. | ||
| Does not include globalists. | ||
| Here's what the Big Ten includes. | ||
| Working-class Hispanics down the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, where those Democratic congressmen are. | ||
| Petrified they're going to be thrown out of office in 2022. | ||
| The Big Tent is more working class people, more middle class people. | ||
| That's the Big Tent. | ||
| Big Tent does not include the Uniparty, the permanent political class that's been in this city, ruling this city, destroying the American economy, making us weak. | ||
| All over the world, kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| No. | ||
| America first in MAGA. | ||
| That's the agenda. | ||
| Either with the program or you're not with the program. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| No big tent for globalists. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| No big tent for elitists. | ||
| No big tent for neocons and neoliberals. | ||
| Sorry, it's just not the right party. | ||
| The policies are totally different. | ||
| And you can't compromise in these policies. | ||
| They're either one way or the other. | ||
| And this is what's going to make the real big tent, and I keep saying that party that shows that they can provide a family of four on one income is going to have a major realignment. | ||
| It's got to be MAGA if you just implement the MAGA policies. | ||
| I want to bring in now Boris Epstein. | ||
| Boris, I want to talk about Blunt, who's now gone, and here's why he's gone. | ||
| He realized the polling was going to start coming out here in the next couple weeks and showed he's below 50% and Eric Greitens can beat him. | ||
| And he knows that if he punches out, if he starts punching out then, he's going to be able to monetize as a lobbyist less and less and less. | ||
| And if you lose in a primary, you lose 75% of your value. | ||
| He was going to lose in a primary. | ||
| He went as the top of his game. | ||
| The Hill story, we'll get the Hill story up when Boris gets up. | ||
| The Hill story, if you read down into the story headline, you know, McConnell inner circle rattled as, you know, the Trump movement takes down another guy. | ||
| But you read down in there, it's all praises from these political scientists at these colleges, Washington University out in St. | ||
| Louis saying he was a dedicated public servant for 40 years and everything. | ||
| Oh crap! | ||
| This guy and his family among the most corrupt in a corrupt city. | ||
| His son, you know I had Eric Greidens on here talking about the five Nobel Prizes President Trump should be awarded. | ||
| Principally about the Abraham Accords and guess what? | ||
| The Blunt family is now the chief lobbyist for Qatar. | ||
| The biggest, the most corrupt An anti-American of all of them. | ||
| Boris Epstein, I want to talk about Blunt, but then I want to go into this firefight between the RNC and President Trump. | ||
| Let's start with Blunt. | ||
| What's your take on that? | ||
| Steve, thanks so much for having me. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
| Great to see you. | ||
| Great to see Rahim. | ||
| And amazing to see Fog City Midge there in the studio. | ||
| No wonder both Steve and Rahim look a little more spruced up this morning. | ||
| Yeah, we're classing it up. | ||
| We're classing it up, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Raheem's hair is slicked back a little bit. | ||
| I'm sensing maybe there's a spritz of cologne in the room. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Boris, I took a shower. | ||
| You should try it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No fighting in the war room. | ||
| Every morning, I shower up. | ||
| I get all ready. | ||
| I do some push-ups to get fully pumped for the war room. | ||
| Believe you me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's still not enough, but keep going. | |
| Tell me about Blunt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The end of Lauren Bobert's video there with the gunshots, that was pretty serious too. | |
| That's a gun show. | ||
| Don't tell us it was a gun show, it put you up against Christie Noem. | ||
| That's a gun show, right? | ||
| You're just a 98 pound weakling. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
| Tell me about Blunt. | ||
| The end of Lauren Bobert's video there with the gun shots, that was pretty serious too. | ||
| That's a gun show. | ||
| The Blunt retirement is a signal that the establishment is realizing what's happened Remember that poll a few weeks ago from Morning Consult that showed just how much Mitch McConnell and other establishment figures like him have lost in the Senate. | ||
| Mitch McConnell, I think, was down by 30 points and Roy Blunt was right there, down by, I believe, over 10 points from November 3rd. | ||
| So he took a look, he's not getting any younger, and he decided, you know what, this just is not his moment, and decided to move on. | ||
| And now you're going to have somewhat of a crowded primary, but if you look at what's going on in Missouri, you look at somebody who's won statewide, was an executive, and. | ||
| in Missouri, the chief executive, the governor, and then before he was railroaded by the establishment there, that's Eric Greitens. | ||
| He's a veteran. | ||
| He's a Rhodes Scholar. | ||
| He's Jewish, which I love. | ||
| Everybody loves a tough Jew, okay? | ||
| He is a true fighter, and he's a fighter for MAGA. | ||
| So I think Eric Greitens is a very strong candidate and somebody that I'm fully behind right now in terms of that Senate seat because he represents the best of MAGA, as you said, pro-manufacturing, pro-working class families in the inner cities and in the rural communities. | ||
| You gotta remember, Missouri is an extremely diverse state, right? | ||
| You've got St. | ||
| Louis, but then you've also got the Ozarks over there, so Missouri blends a lot of the best of America and a lot of what's tough in America in terms of inner cities and some of the rural areas. | ||
| So I strongly believe that the replacement of Eric Reitens replacing Roy Blunt is nothing but a huge step forward for the MAGA movement and a statement that the MAGA movement, which 75 million people elected, voted for President Trump in 2020, continues to be the beating heart the leading entity of the Republican Party as a whole. | ||
| And I think that's a message. | ||
| It's a message to everybody in the establishment of, hey, this is not a time to fight. | ||
| It's the time to realize that the leader of the party continues to be President Trump, And that MAGA and the Republican Party are one and the same. | ||
| Even Mitt Romney went out and said, hey, if Donald Trump ran in 2024, he'd be the nominee. | ||
| So if Mitt Romney gets it, everybody else ought to get it. | ||
| Hey, Boris, we're going to ask you to stay. | ||
| We're going to talk about this RNC, the firefight with the RNC blowing back on President Trump, saying, hey, your image raises a lot of money for us and we're going to keep using it, right? | ||
| Sorry, not sorry. | ||
| OK, we're going to turn in a second. | ||
| Talking about this firefight between the RNC and President Trump. | ||
| We're going to have Rahim and Maggie's take on Joe Biden's talk tomorrow night, where I think he's going to claim victory here for this $1.9 trillion bailout package and also the vaccines that are going to roll out. | ||
| President Trump's vaccines are now finally starting to roll out. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return in The War Room in a moment. | ||

| Now we're going to have later in the show, or this afternoon, we're actually going to have Mike, our great friend, Mike Lindell is going to be out in Arizona, I think, tomorrow. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Can I just say I actually love my pillow. | |
| It changed my life and I told Mike Lindell that when I met him at CPAC and I was like totally geeking out because this man serenades me to sleep every night. | ||
| Why did it change your life? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It changed my life. | |
| I'm not just saying this as part of an ad but I literally legitimately tell all my friends to get in my pillow. | ||
| I used to toss and turn. | ||
| I could not sleep. | ||
| I had this very, like, pancake down pillow. | ||
| It was a very expensive pillow. | ||
| And I'd get the MyPillow. | ||
| I thought my mom was, like, joking. | ||
| I get this pillow. | ||
| I sleep through the night. | ||
| I don't move. | ||
| I wake up in the same position. | ||
| It's like a miracle. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It's, you know, Rahim Kassamba's way... Is that it, honey? | ||
| Let's show that. | ||
| Can we get a zoom in on this? | ||
| No, Rahim tells a story. | ||
| My mother sent me this picture of me as a child, since Steve loves to talk about me as a child so much. | ||
| I finally got a picture of me as a child. | ||
| Wow, it looks just like you. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I thought this was the other one you posted on Instagram. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| That image of you on your pillow when you're out there watching BBC. | ||
| Now he's got his MyPillow. | ||
| He's sitting there watching CNN, right? | ||
| Or the War Room. | ||
| MyPillow.com. | ||
| You've got to put in promo code War Room. | ||
| Get all the discounts. | ||
| Go see all the products. | ||
| Maggie, that was good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have a little tip, though, for people. | |
| I'm sorry to keep going back to my pillow. | ||
| I'm literally obsessed, but when a lot of people complain they don't like it, it's because they bought the wrong size. | ||
| So there's actually a size chart, and what I recommend is people get the normal, standard, classic MyPillow. | ||
| It's the white label one. | ||
| Don't get the green one. | ||
| It's overfilled, and it's not good for most people, unless you like a really thick, heavy-duty pillow. | ||
| Just get the classic, white label, standard MyPillow. | ||
| Since we just lost our sponsorship, I wonder... | ||
| I hope that's not the queen size. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We gotta get the queen size too. | |
| I think it comes in queen size. | ||
| Yeah, queen size. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a $40 discount. | |
| Let's go back to Boris Epstein. | ||
| Boris, what is going on between the RNC and Trump? | ||
| Trump is not just the leader of the party, he's the leader of the movement. | ||
| His first term just ended, but his second term starting right after the 2024 election. | ||
| What is, why are they, you know, they've raised a ton of money off this guy. | ||
| He's basically saying, hey, I really want to focus. | ||
| I don't want to focus, particularly when you've got these guys. | ||
| I think the congressman is heading it up. | ||
| They're giving money to the 10 traders that turned their back on President Trump, right? | ||
| And he doesn't want money to be raised for him. | ||
| I think it's a pretty standard request. | ||
| As long as these guys are going to do it, he's got his point of view. | ||
| Tell our audience specifically what is going on. | ||
| Well, what's going on is that the Republican establishment is as scared of President Trump turning its back on him as I am of that scared of that picture of baby Rahim. | ||
| I mean, that thing, let's look at the size of the diaper on that kid. | ||
| Rahim, are you still wearing those? | ||
| That baby could beat you up, okay? | ||
| Put that in the live stream. | ||
| I want to hear comments. | ||
| I want to see all the comments. | ||
| Are you rocking those diapers today, big guy? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But in all seriousness, the establishment Of course they realize that no matter how much they may disdain President Trump, and how much Liz Cheney's out there talking, oh, we need to leave him behind, President Trump is the leader of this party, he's the lifeblood, and guess what? | ||
| If you want to raise any money, you need President Trump, right? | ||
| So President Trump is looking at this and saying, hey, you had 10 people in the House vote for impeachment of their own party's president, including Liz Cheney, Anthony Gonzalez, Adam Kinzinger, Meyer, that guy from Michigan, and some others. | ||
| Then you had the people voting in the Senate for impeachment, including Murkowski and others, so voting for conviction. | ||
| So why would President Trump allow for his image, for his reputation to be used to raise money? | ||
| Now, my preference is for all of this to be figured out nice and calmly and not to be playing out in the media. | ||
| But Justin Riemer, who is the Chief Counsel for the RNC, went out there and popped off this pretty stringent letter, pretty hard-hitting letter, Against President Trump, saying, oh no, we get to use your image whenever we want, and then the letter ends up, obviously, in the news. | ||
| So someone leaked it, and my guess is it's probably the same people who authored it. | ||
| Justin Reimer is also the same chief counsel of the RNC, who was extremely negative. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Full stop, full stop, full stop. | ||
| You buried the lead here. | ||
| Justin Reimer was let go After November 3rd, he was let go because of emails he had said that were negative about the President's team that was fighting this thing, and he was so incompetent. | ||
| He hadn't done a good job up until then. | ||
| And I know this happened because they brought in an acting General Counsel. | ||
| How is this guy sending any letters? | ||
| And what are they doing over there? | ||
| This guy was fired, I think by order of the President. | ||
| They actually had a guy come in as Acting General Counsel. | ||
| Why is he back at the RNC? | ||
| Who authorized that he be hired? | ||
| And why is he sending letters out? | ||
| Why is he sending a shot across the bow of Donald J. Trump, a guy that was terminated for his incompetence? | ||
| Why is that, Boris? | ||
| Help me out here. | ||
| You're a lawyer. | ||
| I'm not in the HR department of the Republican National Committee. | ||
| I can't tell you, but it appears that Justin Riemer continues to be the chief counsel at the RNC, the head of the legal department over there, and he's shooting these letters now to President Trump and his attorney, Alex Cannon, who's a great guy. | ||
| So that's what's going on. That's the interplay there. Now, this is the kind of thing I do not like. | ||
| I do not like this intra-party, you know, intra-movement fighting. | ||
| We don't need it. The RNC should realize that they need President Trump. | ||
| And then President Trump, of course, he's always played nicely with Ronald McDaniel, supported her. | ||
| She has that job because President Trump effectively put her there, let's be honest, in 2016. | ||
| And then again at the end of 2020 when he endorsed her. | ||
| So we need to all find a way to get along and then not have effectively rogue staffers shooting... No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| I'm not buying this. | ||
| I'm not buying this. | ||
| You don't need to get along, you need to get with the program. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Well, that's not getting along. | ||
| That's getting with the program. | ||
| If you don't like the program, then move on. | ||
| The program is that President Trump is the unquestioned leader of the Republican Party. | ||
| Should be one and the same. | ||
| And I think it's incumbent upon the RNC to do everything they can to make President Trump comfortable. | ||
| And then, hey, everybody does get along and the fundraising moves forward and the lifeblood of the party is together. | ||
| But the way that it's being done now isn't working. | ||
| If you don't believe in the if you don't believe in the MAGA policy, that's just gets in the same place because they're going to sit there and go, we will just be quiet. | ||
| But then we're not going to support the policies. | ||
| You got to support the MAGA policies. | ||
| You got to support America first. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You support that. | ||
| Then you with the program. | ||
| We just don't need another group of deadbeats. | ||
| I don't understand why this Justin Reimer... Somebody's got to answer that question for me. | ||
| I think he was fired on direction of the President of the United States for his incompetence. | ||
| Incompetence. | ||
| And I believe they had... | ||
| Well, I think they put in an acting General Counsel during part of this thing between November 3rd and Inauguration Day on January 20th. | ||
| I think they put in an acting thing. | ||
| Was that just some head fake to placate President Trump and others who were working on this? | ||
| I think we've got to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| And why is that guy, of all people, sending a snarky letter to Donald J. Trump, given everything that this guy's done? | ||
| Who authorizes this letter? | ||
| Why would you do blowback against President Trump, who again just got 75 million votes, the most votes any incumbent's ever gotten, the most votes any Republican has ever gotten in running for president. | ||
| Why would you do a pushback letter against him and then let it go public? | ||
| Why isn't that a phone call, right? | ||
| Shouldn't that be a call and say, hey, let's work this out. | ||
| Let's get to a good place. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| It's also about brands. | ||
| Who knows more about brands than Donald J. Trump? | ||
| You're basically saying, we can use your image, we can use your brand, we'll do what we want. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| I'll tell you as a lawyer, I think it's an open question. | ||
| The reamer is saying, oh well, the first amendment, but in the end you do have rights to your own image. | ||
| You, Steve Bannon, Raheem, Midge, even me, we have rights to our own names, our own images. | ||
| And if those are used against our wishes, against our consent, I believe there's absolutely legal right for a cease and desist. | ||
| I think the President Trump is absolutely in his right there. | ||
| And I personally don't want to see this happen. | ||
| I think the RNC should find a way to work with President Trump. | ||
| But if this were to go the legal route, I think President Trump would absolutely win. | ||
| I still think your friend is wrong. | ||
| It's not should they find a way. | ||
| To me they either get with the program or take off. | ||
| Or President Trump ought to start forcing some changes. | ||
| I did see that. | ||
| course of changes. You gotta get with the last line. I did see that. It came in a little hot. Fastballs. That was a throw in a fastball. So that's the point. The The pressure is on the RNC right now. | ||
| And, honestly, if I'm the RNC, I would ask Justin Rimmer to apologize and retract that letter. | ||
| There's absolutely no reason for that. | ||
| No reason to go public. | ||
| No reason to go and throw fastballs. | ||
| I think you ought to walk down the hall. | ||
| At the most successful president... I hate to disagree. | ||
| I think you ought to walk down the hall, knock on the door, and say, hey, you know, we'd let you go back in November. | ||
| What are you doing here? | ||
| Right? | ||
| What are you doing here, and why are you signing letters for us? | ||
| And if he says, well, somebody hired me back, then I think we've got to go find out who hired him back. | ||
| Well, we gotta find out. | ||

He's not just stuck there in the basement, you know, alone. | |
| The forcing function is the public on this situation and it's up to the audience to let the RNC know how they feel about this, so go ahead and do that. | ||
| Yeah, okay, we're gonna get... Boris, what's your social media accordance so people can follow this story? | ||
| Hot tonight. | ||
| It was hot today. | ||
| Like it. | ||
| See, I thought it was tonight. | ||
| It feels like a 5 p.m. | ||

Okay. | |
| We're going to... Thank you, Boris. | ||
| We're going to get back to tearing down this wall. | ||
| Fog City Midge is going to take us on a tour next in the War Room. | ||

|
War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, you're watching right now, we're going to go to Maggie, Fox 80 Midges, Maggie Vandenberg's film from last night. | ||
| You got here from Florida and were so shocked by what you saw, just like Lee Brown the artist was, you decided to get into a vehicle and go around and make a film. | ||
| Explain this, kind of walk the audience through what we're seeing here. | ||
| Particularly our podcast and radio audience, tell them what's happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So this video that's playing right now you can see I'm on the east side of the Capitol looking down and there you can see the Capitol through the fencing as well as the razor wire surrounding the entire area. | |
| Now this fencing does not have any brakes in it except for several where they allow cars to pass in and out with the security and the military personnel. | ||
| But I mean, this looks like a war zone. | ||
| This is completely locked down. | ||
| And what's so insulting is I've been down to the southern border. | ||
| We worked on a wall project together down there. | ||
| And it's shocking that our government is capable of putting up a wall, a fence, a barrier like this that is impenetrable. | ||
| Nobody could climb this. | ||
| Nobody could get past this. | ||
| With razor wire on the top. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Razor wire. | |
| Against American citizens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then this video that they're playing right now, I actually took that at 10.30, 11 p.m., and you can see that flatbed trucks are actually bringing in and putting up more fencing. | |
| So this isn't going anywhere. | ||
| We've got this layer of fencing with the razor wire close to the Capitol. | ||
| For the podcast audience, you're seeing she's in a car going around the Capitol, and it is stunning. | ||
| This is a full view. | ||
| By the way, we've wanted to do an aerial shot, but you can't get anything up in the air to do it, to see the scale of this thing. | ||
| It goes all the way down the White House compound the same way, right? | ||
| So they have completely, this is walled in, not just the Capitol, but the entire Capitol complex, all the way over almost to Union Station. | ||
| What I really like about this whole thing, right, is that you have the classic road bollards that come up that can be deployed for any manner of circumstances, right? And they do go up on routine occasion for whatever incidents that might have, the big things lift out of the ground and they block the roads. Then you've got the military personnel on top of that, then you've got the fencing on top of that. And just in case, you've got this little ribbon, yellow ribbon, | ||
| that's going on. You see that? | ||
| Well, I mean, what is this about? | ||
| I mean, if not for pure theatrics and fear factor, this is what it's about. | ||
| And, you know, I am just stunned every single morning when I walk to the war room, I pass this fence, I pass this wall, and I'm stunned that we still don't have people lined up outside it, day to day, peacefully protesting, to bring it down. | ||
| I mean, it's one thing for the residents of Capitol Hill to put little signs in their front yards. | ||
| Where are they actually making their voices heard to say, hey? | ||
| And where's the rest of America to say, hey? | ||
| And by the way, let's add one more thing to this. | ||
| Where's the intelligence that suggests that this needs to stay on? | ||
| But why is McCarthy and these people not banging on the table and saying, hey, if this is what's happened to our capital, and it's because of a threat, let's see the receipts. | ||
| Let's go through the information. | ||
| First off, I'm just talking about people they've arrested because the information is very spotty. | ||
| There's been no weapons. | ||
| I think there's five people that are associated with extremist groups, as they define extremist groups, right? | ||
| That's all got to be brought up, right? | ||
| And the evidence has got to be shown. | ||
| I think they've got five that are associated with these groups. | ||
| Of the other hundred, and so, CNN, these guys are even starting to do the psychological prep of the battlefield, saying, oh, they're just disaffected. | ||
| This shows you how you can mass-radicalize people, because they were just average citizens up there, right? | ||
| And I'm not making excuses, and I'm not defending certain of the actions that took place. | ||
| Although I'm not so sure. | ||
| I think the shaman is, you know, a guy that's trying to, a guy that's number one thing is he thinks Nancy Pelosi's a witch. | ||
| And number two, he's trying to, he's trying to save the quantum realm. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, isn't he still in jail? | |
| He's still in jail because they think he's in jail. | ||
| He's only in jail in this realm. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But he can't do the quantum realm thing. | ||
| But this is the point. | ||
| There's no, they say armed insurrection. | ||
| That was just a lie. | ||
| Now you're going to get tonight, I think on Tucker Carlson, they're bringing the lawyers for the Air Force veteran who was gunned down, right? | ||
| You know, the lawyers are going to start making a big deal about that, why we've had no information about any of that. | ||
| They also, there was a huge article the other day about ripping on this, and at the very bottom, they had the excuse they made, they had to make a change. | ||
| You know what that change was? | ||
| It was about the Capitol Hill police officer. | ||
| In the first version, they had that he was still bludgeoned to death, I think, with a fire extinguisher. | ||
| And then they had it come down, they made a correction, you know, all the way down to the bottom of the article, the 8,000 words said, you know, it's still uncertain how he died on the Capitol. | ||
| And that's over the revolver.news guys, .com guys, .news are doing the Investigative reporting on that. | ||
| Okay, a lot to get to. | ||
| By the way, when you get up in the morning, at like 6 in the morning, or 5 in the morning, and you sit there and you go online to see sites and try to make sure what the news is, and the Guardian, the left-wing Guardian, Well-written, well-edited, but their politics are up on the, you know, their politics are on the front page. | ||
| The Guardian lead story in the United States is not the Sussex versus the Crown, it is about Georgia's Senate, right? | ||
| And of course they got Stacey Abrams and everything saying, hey, this is racist, this is voter suppression. | ||
| The folks down in Georgia, the Senate and the House down there are getting, and those bills may not be perfect, but they're getting the world's attention on this. | ||
| And this is how you fight back against H.R. | ||
| 1. | ||
| This is how you finally start to get your hands around these elections. | ||
| And Maggie, I know that's a big deal because you're saying a lot of people have been, you know, distraught about what's going on. | ||
| Before I get to all that, I do want to go to tomorrow night because I want to give you signal, not noise. | ||
| I want to look over the other side of the hill. | ||
| We started, we had Congressman Boebert in that great video she did, Tear Down This Wall, and then we played right after that to juxtapose Biden, with the dark eyes, not the Irish blue eyes, the dark eyes, and then babbling yesterday, didn't remember the Pentagon, didn't remember Secretary of Defense, another one that's got to be escorted off, right, to stage right. | ||
| He had finished what he said, but literally didn't know where he was, just like he didn't know the other day about the economics of the COVID bill. | ||
| Tomorrow night is the one-year anniversary of the address from the Oval Office by Donald J. Trump. | ||
| When he declared a national emergency, I believe Rahimi also declared that stopping traffic from Europe coming in because of what was exploding in Milan. | ||
| Things we had advocated on this show back in January, and Peter Navarro we know was advocating them too. | ||
| President Trump had shut down travel from China, quarantined American citizens, first time in 50 years taking these actions, of which Fauci, you've got to remember, Dr. Fauci time was taking the The WHO party line, oh, you shouldn't shut down borders, it doesn't do any good, there's no community spread coming out of Wuhan, there's no human-to-human transmissions, all the lies that we know now that were being fed by the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Josh Rogin's got a very controversial book, I think it hits today, talking about the China relationship, Xi and President Trump. | ||
| He's had two big pieces up. | ||
| I think the piece in Politico yesterday talks about the Wuhan lab, talks about everything that was going on. | ||
| So the anniversary, here's what Biden's going to do. | ||
| He's going to come up and he's going to talk about the $1.9 trillion, the last bridging device on this drop in aggregate demand that's going to jet fuel the economy. | ||
| There's only, I think, $600 billion of direct transfers to the American people. | ||
| $1.5 trillion to bail out various aspects of the Uniparty, right? | ||
| Either Democratic blue states, sanctuary cities, the teachers' unions. | ||
| I think there's $200 or $300 billion to retrofit the schools. | ||
| How long that takes, nobody knows, right? | ||
| Some of the systems inside the schools. | ||
| There's bailouts. | ||
| We're going to have Alfredo Ortiz on here, not today, but later in the week, talking about there's virtually no money for small businessmen. | ||
| By the way, the same small businessmen and entrepreneurs that are leading the effort, and on Sunday they said they've got the votes, they've got the votes in In California to recall Gavin Newsom, right? | ||
| Driven by, guess what? | ||
| Moms who want their kids in school, who want the borders closed and the schools open. | ||
| They got it reversed here. | ||
| So he's going to talk about the $1.9 trillion, right? | ||
| That they couldn't get through the normal process. | ||
| They had to use this Jerry Rigg process to get it through. | ||
| He's also going to talk about, I got Trump's vaccines rolling out, which they've forgotten Trump. | ||
| It's all his vaccines rolling out. | ||
| The CDC is coming out with new guidelines and lo and behold, We have CNN, which I thought had put CDC up on a pedestal of science-based, evidence-based, and what are they ripping on last night? | ||
| Oh, they're not opening it up quick enough. | ||
| Their guidelines are too tough. | ||
| People take the vaccine automatically, ought to be, you know, travel everywhere, have meetings, hugging the kids, people, and they had the article, got to go see their grandkids. | ||
| Boy, what a difference a year makes, right? | ||
| So they're going to claim total and complete victory, right? | ||
| They're going to say by this summer, it's back to rock and roll, right? | ||
| You're going to have a country that's open, you're going to have a $1.9 trillion, and they're coming And you heard it first on this show two weeks ago, and now, as I was correct, Mr. Rahim Kassam, it's $4 trillion, it's $4 trillion on the bill. | ||
| It's $4 trillion on the infrastructure bill, not $2 trillion. | ||
| It's $4 trillion on the infrastructure bill, not $2 trillion. | ||
| And that's what you're going to see tomorrow night. | ||
| Maggie, what's your thoughts on this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think we're going to see from Biden what we have been seeing, which is they're going to get him juiced up and he's going to try to complete sentences, right? | |
| He's going to try to read off of his teleprompter. | ||
| So, you know, I don't have high hopes. | ||
| I'd watch much of, you know, President Biden's addresses to the nation. | ||
| And it's unbelievable how few people are actually tuning in to watch these things. | ||
| Yesterday, I watched as he announced setting up a White House Gender Policy Council aimed at ensuring gender equality and equity, which I find appalling, given the, you know, Equality Act, which basically erases women, but... That's the Destruction of Women's Sports Act. | ||
| Yes, it is, it is. | ||
| But what's appalling, though, is that no one's actually watching these things. | ||
| I was one of 460 people watching The White House YouTube channel. | ||
| Now keep in mind this YouTube channel has almost 1.9 million subscribers and I'm sitting here watching and you have to imagine there's probably a handful of people at least that have notifications turned on but nobody's tuning in to watch this guy. | ||
| I thought this was supposedly the most popular president in history. | ||
| Is that a real number because they're complaining about that number? | ||
| Is that a real number because they're saying, oh, Trump only had real, right-side broadcasting, real America's voice had all the numbers. | ||
| Put it this way, put it this way. | ||
| When President Trump was up there in the White House was live streaming these videos. | ||
| We've just had a rock star, just a rock star walking to the board. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's Huey Lewis everybody, Huey Lewis. | |
| You never know what the cat's going to drag in around. | ||
| Everybody heard that Foxy Midge is here today and magically everybody starts showing up. | ||
| We've got a special guest. | ||
| Let's go back. | ||
| It was only 400 people watching it. | ||
| So put it this way. | ||
| So when President Trump would give a speech on the White House YouTube channel, don't take the glasses off yet. | ||
| Put the glasses back on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody knows who's here yet. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| Exactly, because we thought it was a big reveal. | ||
| First of all, we thought it was another FBI raid. | ||
| I have to get up and answer the door and let this guy in while I'm thinking about the White House YouTube channel. | ||
| Very quickly, the White House YouTube channel. | ||
| When President Trump went up there, overwhelmingly positive thumbs up and overwhelmingly there would be thousands upon thousands of people watching at any given time. | ||
| Under Joe Biden you have tens of people watching at any given time and overwhelmingly thumbs down on all of the videos. | ||
| Now ladies and gentlemen I'd like to introduce to you Mr Huey Lewis. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Are you just in the neighborhood? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| It's just a drop by. | ||
| I, uh, yeah. | ||
| I was on the way to the Capitol. | ||
| Art, your schedule, once again, just sketchy. | ||
| You're overbooked. | ||
| I'm here for advice. | ||
| How do you get, by the way, we just had the two videos about the wall. | ||
| How do you get through the wall? | ||
| Do you get a special pass? | ||
| I was stopped four times yesterday on the way to my office and asked to show ID because I don't typically wear the pin, but now I'm wearing the pin so as to ease the security process. | ||
| You were stopped four times? | ||
| Yeah, there's an outer wall, there's an inner wall, And what I found most troubling from the briefing from General Honore is that there is a permanence to this plan for capital security resilience. | ||
| They're going to have a permanent strike force ready at any time and I just find it incredibly degrading. | ||
| That you've got Nancy Pelosi using people who want to give their time for patriotism, using them as political props like this in the occupied city of Washington, D.C. | ||
| But it isn't one-off, it's on purpose. | ||
| Because if you want to change this country, if you want to strip her of her values and her principles, you cannot have a capital city that is full of splendor and wonder and ambition. | ||
| The people who built this country, they expected us to be the very best. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| Take a short commercial break. | ||
| You can take the glasses off. | ||
| You look like Slims McKenzie. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| A quick break. | ||
| We'll be right back with Matt Gaetz. | ||

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, welcome back. | ||
| We've had a drop-in, and it couldn't be more appropriate. | ||
| I want to go back to this Capitol, because we've had an artist come in last week, she was in tears, and she lives in Northern Virginia, and says, it's stunning what they've done here, and nobody's reporting it. | ||
| The American people haven't seen the images. | ||
| Maggie came up last night and made her own film. | ||
| Right? | ||
| She was near tears. | ||
| It's absolutely unbelievable what's happened. | ||
| People, and one of the reasons is, why is the Republican leadership not banging and saying, let's see the intelligence? | ||
| If this has to happen because of intelligence, let's see it. Yeah but Steve the intelligence is nonsense. | ||
| If what you want is a bureaucrat to write a memo saying that you know some boogaloos are saying things online that are scary, they'll write the memo for you. The issue is there is no present threat to the Capitol building. There is nothing that would justify the current force posture and I think that when we just rail against it we lose why it's happening, the meaning of it and this is about imagery and using the power of imagery. It's information warfare. Yeah to get a message out and | ||
| you know you gotta give them credit. | ||
| It's a pretty clever way to get us all to have a diminished view of the country. | ||
| Now, I didn't come here to talk, I came here to listen, and I need your advice on something. | ||
| All over the country right now, we are starting... You know this is live, right? | ||
| To see candidates emerge to run against some of these America Laughs Republicans, there are two schools of thought. | ||
| One is, we need to find the right candidate, we need to get the resources, the messaging, the talent behind them and plow forward. | ||
| The other is, well, maybe on some of these things, let's let it sort out, let's let, you know, kind of the indigenous folks of these districts pick people who would be ideal to support later in the game. | ||
| So if you're like me, if you're like Congresswoman Boebert, If we need backup here, give us the war plan on how to do it. | ||
| Well no, I think right now you've got to, look, we've got to make this tent bigger by going after people that are going to believe in policies that are going to communicate to working class Hispanics in South Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, right? | ||
| That can talk to working class and middle class African Americans in Baltimore. | ||
| I think it's now time to basically It's got to come from the district, but you've got to be looking for those candidates to support the policies. | ||
| They talk about the big tent. | ||
| To me, there's no big tent for globalists, for neoliberals, for neocons, for anybody that doesn't support MAGA and the America First agenda. | ||
| That's the way, not just you reform this party, you actually build up a coalition that can win and win multiple elections. | ||
| You saw it's hard to find those people. | ||
| You were in the White House and the major failures of the Trump presidency came from failures in HR. | ||
| We have a thin bank. | ||
| It's not easy to harvest these folks. | ||
| But you've got to double down and go find them. | ||
| That's why I think President Trump is looking for these guys. | ||
| Do you go find them or do you wait for them? | ||
| Because Rahim, the Justice Democrats, they do this just like a Hollywood casting call. | ||
| They've dispensed with the notion of politics. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They've got the scripts ready, they've got the funding raised, and they're just looking for the lead actor or the lead actress. | ||
| That is a more proactive approach than we typically... We wait around to see, like, who is the Chamber of Commerce president that can raise a few hundred thousand bucks in their district. | ||
| No, you have to be proactive. | ||
| Okay, well, give me the advice. | ||
| So you think we go out and cast these things? | ||
| By the way, I don't know, you've traveled this country probably more than I have and I've been around this country quite a lot. | ||
| This country is full of amazing talented people with wealths of experience, real-world experience. | ||
| One of the things that I remember early on in the Trump administration was there was this website that allowed people to just apply. | ||
| Unfortunately, the people who applied never heard back. | ||
| And the staff, I believe, Steve, you know, this is just what I heard through the grapevine, from people who actually applied. | ||
| They weren't, I mean, really, really well-qualified people. | ||
| If they weren't from the Ryan, Prebys, Wisconsin, you know, dairy festival. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you didn't know someone, you weren't getting in. | ||
| Whereas in reality, that's the way this needs to happen. | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| It's a call to, it's not just a, it's not a casting call, it's a call to action. | ||
| Look, the whole thing in this show is human agency. | ||
| People, and you're going to find, look at the congressman that just made this video from Colorado. | ||
| Amazing woman. | ||
| She was running what, a restaurant? | ||
| A bar? | ||
| Five-term incumbent. | ||
| Five-term incumbent. | ||
| In a primary, right? | ||
| In a primary. | ||
| And then took it to the Democratic opposition in a state that don't pour unlimited amount of money to beat Republicans, right? | ||
| And they mocked her at the time, right? | ||
| She was just a gun-toting mob, right? | ||
| And now she's becoming a major player. | ||
| Those people are out there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I feel like so many people believe in you, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene. | |
| They feel like this is the future of the party. | ||
| But I think so many people feel like they can't break through. | ||
| And I know, like, especially when it comes to things like the White House, right? | ||
| Like, I was invited to apply to the White House twice, and they said they didn't want me because I was too MAGA. | ||
| And I feel like there is this issue with... I would have made you Attorney General and we'd be better off today. | ||
| Oh my gosh, I wish people like me were. | ||
| Do you mean the Trump White House or the Biden White House? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Trump White House. | |
| And I'm just, I feel like people are really frustrated because they feel like there is sort of these guardians within the Republican Party that try to keep people out and they're very strategic about it. | ||
| And so people like myself are discouraged. | ||
| I feel like I could never get elected. | ||
| Given the way the Republican Party is and the fact that they don't support the MAGA candidates, which is what I've seen in California. | ||
| So it's very discouraging. | ||
| It's frustrating for people like myself who gave up the last four years of our life to champion for and fight for Republicans and then feel like they didn't fight for us. | ||
| A lot of the influencers, a lot of the people are getting very depressed because of what happened now. | ||
| They liked what's happened in the last 24 hours with President Trump firing back on the RNC and saying, hey, look, Yeah, but can you imagine people vote to impeach you and then Republican Inc. | ||
| get into the program you're not gonna I'm not gonna have that Congress guy Emmers or whoever it is sitting there saying I'm backing the ten guys that put the knife on my back if you're gonna do that you're not you know my image yeah but can you imagine people vote to impeach you and then Republican Inc. uses your name and likeness to help them win elections it is it is insulting and I think you need to speak out more frequently in these things but but what you guys are describing here is is a paradigm shift for Republican candidate | ||
| Republican candidate recruitment is essentially wait to see who can raise money and then introduce those people to the PACs and special interests who typically are the infrastructure of a Republican campaign. | ||
| Whereas, you know, the way that the Democrats found their most talented members was by writing the scripts in advance, having the resources, and then holding casting calls. Well even the casting calls they were looking for, saying, hey we got maybe too many lawyers here, let's go get some working, let's get some waitresses, let's get some bartenders, let's get teachers, let's get also people that, military veterans, first responders, sheriffs, people that worked in the CIA, right? | ||
| You see them in Virginia 7, where our show goes, and Virginia 2. | ||
| They were cast, they were cast, but they also bought into their program. | ||
| I think one of the things is that, this is what they talk about, oh we've got to broaden the tent. | ||
| We don't need any more globalists, we don't need any more uniparty, we don't need anybody that's going to fight the MAGA movement on policy, fight America first on policy, fight what you stand for. | ||
| That's what Maggie's saying. | ||
| That infrastructure has to exist on the populist right. | ||
| Right now, when America First populists stand up and offer themselves for campaigns, there is not that opportunity to go and hone those candidacies. | ||
| That's your argument, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and the fact that the GOP is not supporting and coming out and saying, this is our guy. | |
| We've got to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're actually going to The Wall. | ||
| We're going to be down to the southern border and also in South America with some live reports next when we return to The War Room. | ||
