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.
anthony fauci
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.

War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to an occupied Washington, D.C., our nation's capital.
You're in the War Room.
It's the 63rd day of our occupation.
I think now, Rahim, the number of troops is, I think, between 3,000 and 4,000.
I don't think it's 7,500.
How many days, Rahim, without a press conference?
raheem kassam
It's 50.
It's 50 and a half days, effectively.
steve bannon
Fifty and a half days.
One year anniversary of President Trump going to Oval Office and declaring a national emergency and declaring this a pandemic.
And the mainstream media following shortly thereafter, two months after we did this in War Room Pandemic.
Your Thursday, the 11th of March, Year of Our Lord 2021, with over 40 million downloads on the podcast, of course, live nationwide on the John Fredericks Radio Network.
In particular, our new station in Metro Atlanta, that is WMLB AM 1690 in Metro Atlanta.
Got a lot to Georgia today.
We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene coming on later in the show, and of course, Mike Lindell.
And Mike Lindell is coming on to talk about the new social media platform He is launching.
That'll be in the 11 o'clock hour.
raheem kassam
So this is a jam-packed... You're just leaning into that New Republic piece, aren't you?
steve bannon
The New Republic piece.
We're going to get the best art I've ever seen.
I want to thank the folks over at Media Matters for helping with the research of that.
Had the timeline wrong?
Certain details wrong.
Certain details wrong.
Actually, the big thing we wanted to play up that day was the Vice President blew it, and we'll get more into that in the second hour.
Okay, Real America's Voice, up on the satellite dish channel, on Comcast, everywhere.
Download the app.
On Real America's Voice, make sure you get it.
Also, chat rooms all over the place.
Go to hashtag warroompandemic.
We're going to get to more of that later.
Mike Lindell, MyPillow, new sponsor at MyPillow.com.
Remember, you've got to put in the promo code warroom, get up to the 66% discount.
More about that, we've got to get to Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas.
Another call shot by the War Room.
We told you, I think it was on Inauguration Day, that the tip of the spear here is going to be red state attorney generals.
But we didn't know how tip of the spear that Texas is going to be.
Ken Pax has become a hero to the conservative movement, to the Trump movement, and why?
He's a fighter.
That's where we got Marjorie Taylor Greene coming on later, Mike Lindell, this is the Fight Club.
Attorney General Paxson, thank you very much for joining us today.
I know you're very busy.
We've got a whole raft of stuff to go through since you've been pretty active.
I want to start first.
By the way, just a compliment to you and your staff.
We love your letters.
Your letters you send out are heat-seeking missiles.
unidentified
Yeah, my staff does a great job.
They absolutely care about what's going on in this country.
They care about the state of Texas.
steve bannon
Let's talk, I want to go to Texas first and talk about this mask situation.
I'm confused.
I thought the governor made a decision about, which is in his purview to do, made a decision about masks in Texas, but then there's all kind of businesses and localities, and then you sent a letter yesterday, I think to Austin and some other places.
Can you explain, and the guys in Denver can put the letter up on a split screen, can you walk us through the letter, what's the meaning behind it, and why did you have to send it?
unidentified
We always have to deal with Austin.
That's just a common problem we have in Texas.
So the governor has the right to the Disaster Relief Act.
He issued these executive orders as it relates to the pandemic.
He now has released the state from the mask mandate.
And so individual businesses can make their own decisions and consumers can make their own decisions as to whether they want to wear masks and require masks.
Governments cannot force anyone to wear a mask in the state according to the governor's executive order.
So we have sent a letter to Austin.
We made it very clear that they need to stop.
And if they don't stop, we will file a lawsuit against them to stop them from enforcing what we believe is an illegal mandate from the city.
steve bannon
How long are you going to give them?
How long do you anticipate you're going to give them to comply with the executive order of the governor?
unidentified
There's a pretty good chance we're going to file a lawsuit today.
We gave them until the end of yesterday.
It wasn't hard for them to comply.
All they had to do is just stop.
And there was no response from the city.
As a matter of fact, there was a tweet, I think, from one of their city councilmen saying, we'll see you in court.
And we're like, fine, we'll see you in court.
steve bannon
Have they presented, the city of Austin presented any, you know, the progressive left here and CNN, which we have on in the background every day to trigger our audience to make sure they know what the mainstream media, the propaganda war is saying.
Have they presented any data, any evidence, any science-based analysis that would lead them to come to this conclusion which is different than the governor of the state?
unidentified
I am completely unaware of any data or date, anything they presented, any proof they presented that their mask mandate will make a difference.
And so either way it doesn't matter because the governor's looking at all that stuff.
He's made his decision and they don't have a choice here.
They're not a little independent world that can operate outside of Texas law.
A lot of times I think they think they are.
They should resolve their other problems.
They have a tremendous homelessness problem.
together a downtown economy that still hasn't come back and they should focus on helping the people in their own area as opposed to putting restrictions that are illegal on citizens of Texas.
steve bannon
We'll go to the next topic, the next letter. You sent a letter I think to the President of the United States about, I think it was the Equality Act, and particularly women's sports.
It was a great experience.
It was a little spicy.
It came in a little hot, if we can get that letter up.
Walk through that.
What was your logic there?
And you really took the gloves off.
You said, hey, we're just not going to tolerate this, and you kind of walked through it.
Tell our audience what your problem is with the Equality Act as far as it relates to women's sports, and what did you propose to the President?
unidentified
We just think it's absolutely wrong.
We don't think the law protects men participating in women's sports.
It totally defeats the purpose of what Congress passed years ago with Title IX, and so we're going to defend that.
We still want women's sports to exist, and they will not exist.
It's certainly not in the form that they have and for the purpose that they were set up for if men can somehow talk their way into competing with women.
It's just not the right way and I think there are a lot of parents and a lot of fathers who would agree with me that this isn't what was intended and we shouldn't allow this to happen and we're not going to allow it to happen.
steve bannon
When you say that, you know, my daughter played volleyball for years, all sports, but specialized in volleyball, went to West Point to go play on the team.
And when she was young, all the big, and 50 states are great, people compete all over, and states create, my native state of Virginia, all great, but the sources of Big amounts of great athletes are California, Texas, and Florida, right?
Consistently.
And particularly women's sports.
Are the women's sports in Texas right now being crimped while you're sending this letter and resolving it and trying to stand up for them?
I mean, what impact is going on today with young girls and young women in these sports that they can't take any time off or they won't be eligible to get a Division I ticket out?
unidentified
Yeah, I think we're seeing it all over the country.
We're just starting to see examples.
And if you have this type of legislation, this type of effort, this type of narrative from the administration, it just encourages, just like what's going on in the war.
They're encouraging people to come from other countries and cross our border.
In the same way, they're encouraging men to compete against women, which completely eviscerates women's sports.
And it's really unfair.
To young girls and to women who want to play sports, whatever those sports are.
It's just unfair.
steve bannon
So you sent this letter.
What's the next step and what can our audience expect will be the outcome?
unidentified
So we're basically right now, we're going to be watching everything the Biden administration does as it relates to this issue.
But we wanted to put them on notice and say, look, if you decide that you're going to push forward on this, we're going to be here to fight you.
And we're going to be here to fight for young women and for women in this country so that they have the same opportunities that men have to compete in sports and to play.
And so we're just ready to go.
Whatever they do, if they decide they're going to go down that path, we're going to try to fight them and we're going to try to protect women.
steve bannon
I want to go now to the... Can I just ask on that?
raheem kassam
Mr. Paxton, Mr. Attorney General, can I just ask on that?
You used the phrase unfair.
You know, fairness is a word that's been kind of captured by the left.
I wonder if it's better not to just class it as unfair, but actually quite despicable and really heinous, what is happening to women's sports here.
unidentified
I'll take that.
I mean, I think it's despicable, heinous.
Those are very good words.
And I think it's really just wrong.
However you want to describe it, it's wrong that women don't have these opportunities.
They should be protected by law.
And that was the whole point of these laws to protect women.
And now suddenly, you know, it's being the walls are coming down and those women that we were trying to protect and those young girls that we're trying to give opportunities to, those are going away.
steve bannon
The Biden administration also, as Rahim said yesterday, has triggered a humanitarian crisis on the border, and particularly the border of the Rio Grande Valley and the border of Texas, probably among the worst.
The Republican leadership is going to go down to Texas next week.
The governor has already initiated Project Lone Star.
Can you get our audience up to speed on exactly what you as Attorney General are doing?
How big is this crisis?
Why has it been caused by the Biden administration?
And what are you and Texas going to do to try to stop it?
unidentified
So it's incredibly frustrating to us because we dealt with this border crisis.
We dealt with it significantly during the Obama administration.
And then, as you know, President Trump started working towards stopping that with the wall, with greater security, with encouraging our border and customs agents to do their jobs, which they had been discouraged from during the Obama administration.
And what seems to me like a process and a policy position that worked and that actually helped the American people and that made immigration safer, protected even these immigrants who were trying to get in.
And now the Biden administration on day one decides to invite everybody in and put the narrative out that, hey, everybody can come.
We're not going to deport you.
Now, we filed a lawsuit to stop that.
And for right now, it's supposedly stopped.
But they're still they're still creating the narrative that is creating the problem where these people are coming.
And we've got detention centers now that are full of kids.
And the risk to these kids is tremendous.
And the risk of COVID transmission, the risk of human trafficking, Let's assume they're not going to do that.
What actual powers do you have as a state, since you're a border state?
that and explain why that's a good thing for the American public.
steve bannon
Let's assume they're not going to do that.
What actual powers do you have as a state, since you're a border state?
What actual powers do you and the governor have, in your opinion, to actually thwart this?
unidentified
It's actually pretty frustrating.
That's why what President Trump did was so helpful to us because if you'll remember there was a case called Arizona v. United States and the Supreme Court in a very close decision, Kennedy I think wrote the decision, said basically that immigration is the purview of the federal government and that states that try to create laws to defend their borders can't do it because we're preempted.
Now I find that real troubling because what the federal government has done is created laws The preempt state law and then they abdicate their responsibility.
So they basically prevent any immigration enforcement or border security from happening.
So somehow that can't be right.
But that was the position of the Supreme Court.
So what we try to do is we try to enforce state law.
We can enforce state law, but if they are just crossing the border, violating federal law, there's really nothing we can do according to that decision.
steve bannon
So right now, what is it that Project Lone Star, National Guard, Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, for our audience, what is the overall strategy of Governor Abbott and yourself?
unidentified
I think if they see these caravans coming, they can at least deal with state law.
So if they see something going on as it relates to drug trafficking or human trafficking, they can't arrest people for that.
They just can't arrest people for violation of federal law.
That's outside of our control.
And that's where the Biden administration really hurts us because they're not enforcing federal law.
steve bannon
I want to go now quickly to the Twitter lawsuit.
raheem kassam
Attorney General Paxson, I just want to ask, you know, so Twitter is now filed against you and effectively what they're saying is that they have the right under the First Amendment to decide what goes on their platform.
Are they not, in saying that, admitting to being what they claim they're not, what they've claimed all along, that they're not a publisher?
unidentified
Actually, I think you're exactly right.
What's interesting about this, we haven't sued Twitter.
All we did was start asking them questions, which we're allowed to do under state law.
We have powers to send out what are called civil investigative demands.
They're like interrogatory questions about their policies and their procedures as it relates to their platform and why they would deplatform Parler and just how all of this happened.
We asked very straightforward questions.
They weren't trick questions.
They weren't hard questions.
And for some reason they felt compelled to take that Texas issue to California, which has nothing to do with what we're dealing with here.
These are Texas citizens, but for some reason they don't want to share that information.
steve bannon
Attorney General Paxson, we know you've got to bounce.
We want to thank you.
We'll put up your social media so everybody gets it.
We don't want to strain you today.
We understand your relationship.
By the way, you're doing God's work.
unidentified
So I tell you, you've got a huge fan base here in the War Room.
steve bannon
So thank you very much.
Appreciate it.
Keep those letters and lawsuits going, sir.
Thank you.
unidentified
We'll do it.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
steve bannon
Attorney General Ken Paxson is at the tip of the spear.
Okay, we're going to return.
We've got some internal discussions to have.
We're going to have John Frederickson, Georgia.
MTG is about to be in the house, and then Mike Lindell later.
unidentified
All 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.
steve bannon
Okay, it's the first anniversary of the Oval Office talk of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, that described this as a pandemic, called in emergency powers, stopped traffic coming from Europe, or stopped it from China.
Tonight, Joe Biden will be in the Oval Office, I believe, doing the same thing, I think it's at 8 o'clock, addressed to the nation, talking about this radical COVID-19, but we'll talk about more of that later.
The most radical Bill, I think the most progressive bill has been passed.
I think this dwarfs Obamacare.
And I don't know where the fight is.
That's one of the reasons we've got MTG coming in.
Where is the fight to describe this?
Also, today Politico announces a $60 billion tax increase!
A $60 billion tax increase!
Tucked into the bill!
And I've been all over the guys in the not-for-profits and Capitol Hill.
Where are the Republicans?
Where are the not-for-profits talking about the details of the $60 billion tax breaks?
I think, we're going to get to it, that a lot of the fight that I had in 17 for entrepreneurs, for the tax breaks for these pastors, I think some of that got unwound.
And I'm unsure of why the analysis was not done and why you're not all over Fox News.
You think the Murdochs, one thing they should support is no tax increases, at least for now.
The other thing, and I'm telling you, this political article, remember it's all in Misdirection Place, oh the moderate Democrats are getting concerned now about the infrastructure bill.
You know why?
We've been talking about it on here.
We've been talking about it.
They're getting concerned about the infrastructure, don't know if it'll give you $4 trillion, maybe just $2 trillion, but If you buried lead, it's got to be paid for.
They're coming with tax increases like you've never seen before.
That's the buried lead.
raheem kassam
On that, can we just explain a little bit?
Because I know most people don't actually know what's going on here.
So you had a two trillion infrastructure spending bill, and then they've been tacking on this Green New Deal on top of that.
Another two trillion on that.
steve bannon
But before we get ahead of the thing, tonight, remember, he's taking a victory lap on the $1.9 trillion.
He's going to halve also the vaccines and the rollouts.
They're going to say good times are going to start rolling in the summer.
They're going to add another $2-4 trillion.
They're going to heat this economy up.
They're not going to care about inflation at first.
They're going to get to 10% growth this year.
They want to get to 10-12% growth the following year.
And even with all the redistricting, they're going to say, we're going to run the tables on the Republicans.
Everybody's going to be at work.
It's going to be party time and devil catch the high most.
We'll worry about it.
I'll worry about that later.
That is their basic plan.
That's how they pass the baton to Harris, to Vice President Harris.
That's what they're trying to do.
What disturbs me, and this is why MTG in here, look, there's a method to her madness.
What she's doing is quite brilliant.
She's sitting there and saying, we have to make sure that everybody understands what's in this bill.
The Democrats, some of the smartest Democrats, are saying, hey, this is the most progressive piece of legislation that's been passed in 30 or 40 years.
And here's the point, ladies and gentlemen.
Unlike the equality in HR, which are terrible, don't get me wrong, they don't come with money attached.
They gotta go back to appropriations to basically enforce it with cash.
This is progressive, radical progressive legislation with 1.9 trillion dollars to back it up.
You want to know where these groups down in Central America, where all these NGOs are not for profits or getting money?
It's all tucked inside this bill.
You're bailing out sanctuary cities.
You're bailing out San Francisco.
You're bailing out the most radical cities in the country.
You're bailing out these blue states.
They're all bankrupt.
I think they're taking care of the deficit in New York.
You're taxed out.
You, out there in this audience, you are bailing it out and there's been no discussion.
And I appreciate Tom Cotton talking about the felons.
It's terrible.
They're sending checks all over to people that don't deserve them.
The issue is bigger than that.
And that's why MTG, I think, has done an amazing job of sitting there going, hey, I want time.
People ought to read this.
People ought to get into this.
We ought to have debate on this.
And we ought to be taking votes where people put their names to that vote.
So I think what she's doing is quite brilliant.
We're going to have her in here in the next couple of minutes.
I want to go to Georgia, where the fight continues.
And now a new Stacey Abrams and the team down there will come back with racism, nativism, xenophobia, all of it.
John Fredericks from the John Fredericks Radio Network, and of course AM 1690, our new station down in Metro Atlanta, WMLB.
So John, tell us what's going on in Georgia.
We had Matt Brainerd, he's dropping this report next week, going to be naming names.
The committees and the executives, Raffensperger and these guys, will actually get the names.
He's going to put a redacted version out publicly To protect from lawsuits, but tell us what's going on in Georgia right now.
john fredericks
Well, I tell you what, the liberal left, the media, the fake news, and all the Stacey Abrams minions are out around the Capitol.
They've got mobile billboards.
They're intimidating everybody.
They know that these bills that are going through the House and Senate in Georgia, these voter integrity bills, are the real deal.
That's why they're going absolutely crazy over it, trying to stop them.
But they're not going to be able to do that.
Steve, you really got to give the credit here to both the state Senate, the Republican state Senate in Georgia and the Republican House passing sweeping voter integrity legislation.
The two bills SB 241 got out of the Senate 29 to 20 and then House Bill 530 at one.
Now they go to conference for reconciliation.
These two bills single ear together.
Steve are going to fix 90% of the voter integrity issues that we experienced in 2020 in Georgia and they're going to go away.
And here's my question to the Democrats who are screaming about this thing.
If there was no fraud and there was no cheating and you won a legitimate, like Brad Rappersberger says and Cosmo man, Jeff Duncan, The most secure election in Georgia history.
Why do you care about these bills?
You have your voters, just get them out again, get them out the right way, and you win again.
The reason they're going crazy here is because they know there was fraud, they know they cheated, and they simply can't do it again.
So let me just boil this down.
These two bills get in the conference.
There's two major differences between each bill.
The House bill calls for the end of private funding for campaigns.
That's the end of Zuckerberg.
If that passes.
That's in the House bill.
That's not in the Senate bill.
The Senate bill eliminates the majority of no-excuse absentee voting.
That's not in the House bill.
But, let the record show.
That the Senate bill in eliminating the majority of no-excuse absentee balloting is more liberal than the same law on absentee balloting that stands right now in New York State.
So Stacey Abrams is saying she's going to sue everybody.
Go ahead.
You can't be intimidated by her lawsuits again.
If this gets out of conference and gets reconciled, it's going to go to Governor Kemp's desk.
He has two choices.
He can sign it, or he can veto it.
If he does nothing, there's no pocket veto.
In the state of Georgia.
That means if he sits on it, it passes, it becomes law.
Both houses should be commended.
They took the bull by the horns and they did exactly what we on this show advocated.
We said Georgia is going to be the blueprint for America.
They're just about there.
It's got to go in a conference and then they have it.
And then I'll tell you also about the Golan Feverino hearing today at 1 30 p.m.
Which is in Fulton County still under he's got six affidavits.
I don't hold my fingers up six affidavits of very experienced legitimate voter election officials in Fulton County who believed that there were up to 30,000 counterfeit ballots Counterfeit means no fraud, no, I mean, nobody voting that didn't have it printed up and stuffed in the Dominion machines, the voting machines, whatever they were, in the middle of the night.
And Gordon Favarito and his organization has been asking the judge to give them access to a forensic analysis of the mail-in ballots in Fulton County to be sure they were authentic ballots, they're not folded, there was no pen marks on them, they were all the same.
And so hopefully we're going to get a positive hearing on that.
Georgia law states that in order to examine those ballots, it's got to be a court order from a judge.
You can't do it from just a FOIA request or something like that.
So that's going to be hopefully determined today at the 1.30 hearing in Fulton County.
steve bannon
We'll report on that more at 5 o'clock.
Also, the Michael Patrick Leahy Georgia Star analysis of the chain of title of the 600,000 mail-in ballots.
Is this going to get blown off?
Is somebody down in Georgia going to be taking action on this?
This is one that's throughout the country.
Every time I talk to people all over the country, they go, what about the lack of chain of custody situation in Georgia?
What is happening on that?
john fredericks
Blown off like a cheap suit in the rain.
You got 408,000 mail-in ballots with absolutely no chain of custody that went into drop boxes.
But again, This legislation solves that because the only drop boxes they're going to have is in early voting precincts.
So if you go to early vote and you don't want to stand in line because you're afraid to get sick or you're afraid of whatever, then you can hand it to an official who will put it in the drop box, which is secure in the early voting location.
So it eliminates that whole chain of custody thing.
They're not out in the open.
They're secure.
These two bills combined If they work out in conference is the blueprint Steve for the nation.
steve bannon
Okay, but my point is, are we going to rectify what happened on November 3rd?
I understand the Georgia legislature and they're moving forward.
And by the way, Brainard and Kline are not absolutely happy with the two bills.
They think it would be even harder.
Is the male model that's the Lieutenant Governor and the worthless Governor, are they pitching in here at all in supporting these things?
And what about getting to the bottom of November 3rd?
I understand we've got to take care of it for 2022, but what about November 3rd?
john fredericks
I got a succinct answer for you for November 3rd.
The answer is no.
Nothing is going to happen.
Nothing is going to change.
Now we're focused on 2022.
That doesn't matter.
That's behind us.
We got to go forward and get this fixed.
As far as Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan, Cosmo Man, when the vote in the Senate came down on...
On SB 241, Jeff Duncan, presiding over the State Senate, abandoned his gavel and hid in his office like the little pouty man he is.
He's a complete fraud.
steve bannon
Okay.
Okay.
Great job down in Georgia on AM 1690.
Very proud to be down there.
Doug Collins' show's on fire.
We'll get you on later tomorrow about the hearing at 1.30.
Also want to talk to you about Herschel Walker at another time.
But, I've got to tell you, we need to get to the bottom of November 3rd.
You want to drive Joe Biden's approval numbers down to 40%?
We need to show and back it up every day why this was illegitimate.
So, John Fredericks, thank you very much for the update from Georgia.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
When we return, MTG is in the house.
unidentified
Next, on The War Room.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, podcast's got over 40 million downloads across everywhere.
We're up on the satellite, we're on cable, we're on live streaming with Real America's Voice.
I want to thank all the team there.
Plus, radio all over the nation now in metro Atlanta.
On WMLB, AM1690, really appreciate the response we've gotten to the folks, good folks in Georgia.
And of course, simultaneously broadcast in Mandarin to the Lao-Beijing, to the diaspora of the Chinese people, and later they've blown through the firewall into China to support their fight for freedom.
Yesterday was the Fight Club guys, I think today may even be a bigger Fight Club.
We've got, we had Paxton, we're going to have Lindell later, and now we're very honored to have Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG.
raheem kassam
Do we do, by the way, is it Notorious MTG?
Are we there yet?
marjorie taylor greene
That's what I hear.
steve bannon
Yeah, no, no, it's already, okay.
We deserve it.
You've got a very smart and sophisticated information strategy that you're trying to do that I don't think a lot of people have picked up on.
But for our global audience and for people throughout the nation, everybody that I know around here that meets you and talks to you at that conference said, hey, this is a smart, tough businesswoman.
She understands process.
She understands how things have to get done.
She's action oriented.
Can you quickly just give for our audience that may not know you, just who are you?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I'm your everyday American woman, and I'm someone that never wanted to be in politics.
I've actually always been disgusted with politics.
I've never been the person that went to the GOP meetings.
I'm not one of those people that was super engaged.
Very busy, alongside my husband, running our construction company, raising our three kids, loving the country that we live in, but what happened to me Is for the first time when President Trump stepped on the stage in a primary, in the presidential primary, the first time I heard him speak I recognized that was someone that I could connect to.
And I never recognized anyone in politics I could connect to.
Supported him 100%.
steve bannon
Why the connection?
What did he say that hit you in the solar plexus?
marjorie taylor greene
It was his view.
He wasn't looking as a politician.
He was running for president as an American, as a businessman, which is the part that I strongly connected to because we own a construction company.
And I grew up and my dad running our construction company and my husband and I bought it after I got out of college.
And so I understood easily everything he was saying.
America first policies.
I've been one of those.
I can't comprehend why we ever send our tax dollars to foreign countries.
We should be focused solely on home and then of course his border wall.
That was genius.
But we got him elected and then it was the first two years under President Trump.
I mean we had every opportunity in the world And it was Republicans that failed us.
We know who the Democrats are.
We know what they're all about.
We know exactly what they want to do.
But when we had a Republican-controlled House, Republican-controlled Senate, and President Trump in the White House with his pen in hand begging them to produce legislation he could sign, they failed.
And then we ended up with Nancy Pelosi with her gavel in the hand in 2018.
And that launched me.
I thought, you know, we're going to lose our country because the Republicans that we're told we're supposed to support because they will do the right things for us as conservatives, as Americans.
No, they're no different than the Democrats.
steve bannon
So that's why you're an existential threat to this uniparty apparatus that's in this town, the permanent political clash.
You're a fighter, smart, tough, and not going to back down.
Remember, courage is contagious, and that's what you're seeing with you, that people are getting inspired by what you're doing.
I also think you have a very sophisticated way about what you're doing.
So walk us through.
The Washington Post, every day we're hearing that she's gumming up the work, she's slowing things down, she's becoming a pest, all the Republicans are complaining, they're complaining about walking over half-take votes.
There's a method to your madness.
What are you trying to accomplish by what you're doing today?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, you see, the media, they have a playbook, and their playbook is so easy.
We see what they do.
They take someone, then they spin a story that they want to tell about that person, and then they do it over and over.
They link the articles in the next article, and they link them and link them and link them, and they keep producing the same story until they create a character out of someone, and that's what they did with President Trump.
So they've done the same thing with me and they're going to continue to build on it.
But what they have not told people is I'm a successful businesswoman.
Not only have I run a very, very strong construction company that does business in 11 different states, that means that we start at the very beginning and know how to finish a project.
That's a big deal.
A lot of people don't know how to finish a project.
I've also started another business It's very difficult to start a small business and be successful.
I started it, made it successful, and sold it.
So I'm someone that knows how to dig in into every part of the process and see it through.
And so what I'm doing is, I know the system has to be torn down.
See, politics is a business.
It's an industry.
It generates so much money.
steve bannon
And it has a business model and has an internal logic to that model, correct?
marjorie taylor greene
Exactly.
And so the swamp, so to speak, people think it's all about politics, but really what it's all about is it's an industry.
It's an economy in itself.
And so whether it's Republicans or Democrats, these people are here and they are invested in just keeping this industry running because their livelihood relies on it.
And all of their connections and business opportunities, investments are all connected into this big, nasty pool, what we call the swamp, But it's really an economy.
steve bannon
And this is why there's not much fight.
That's why when this most radical piece of legislation that comes on in 30 or 40 years and it's got 1.9 trillion dollars attached to it, you're the only one fighting and actually to expose it and say, hey, let's take a step back and let's just go through what's in here so people understand.
Because this bill, unlike even the equality in H.R.
1, comes with the money attached to it.
And that pays for the system.
It's like having a 1.9 trillion dollar private equity fund.
You're paying for the entire system.
What are you trying to do in your process over there of stopping these things and having this exposed and going through?
What are you trying to specifically accomplish in exposing that business plan?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, what I'm trying to do is I still have an outsider view of Congress.
Congress is the operation that has us, we're about to be $30 trillion in debt.
We are slowly, but now we're quickly, tearing down our freedoms, eroding every single part of the American culture, our blanket.
It's being just shredded to pieces.
It's like America's on fire right now.
And so any day we can put Congress to a stop, we are saving the country.
And so here's how I look at it.
We are living and breathing a woke, progressive stream, an aggressive fire hose that's being just poured down our throat.
The $1.9 trillion, less than 9% goes to COVID relief, and the entire thing is a lie.
It's the Democrat wish list, it's their progressive plans, and it's setting the stage.
Okay, what people aren't talking about is this is just the beginning.
The next one is the infrastructure plan that's coming up.
steve bannon
$2 trillion to $4 trillion.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, it's going to be closer to $4 trillion.
So that one's coming up.
That's the Green New Deal, called the infrastructure plan.
So the news, our conservative media has got to do better.
They're sitting here talking about the Royals.
Nobody cares about the stupid Royals.
What we need to look at is we need to look at what are the consequences of these deals.
Everything.
Every Republican in Congress, while they're on their TV media, you know, hit piece or their shows, Fox News and things, and they're messaging on their social media and they're giving their one-minute speeches on the floor, all of that is garbage.
It's complete garbage if you're not willing to follow it up with action.
So to me, I'm like, our country's on fire and we're just, it's like that meme, you're sitting in there and the little dog.
raheem kassam
This is okay.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah.
Everything's okay.
raheem kassam
This is fine.
Let me ask you a question because I think that's probably one of the most cogent and concise ways I've heard the problem explained.
This is an industry town.
The industry is the problem.
Um, when you talk about, you know, tearing it down, you're not talking about the Constitution, you're not talking about America, you're not ta- and that- but that's how the media portrays you, right?
That's- that's what Blue Anon is.
It's the conspiracy upon conspiracy upon conspiracy that has now become mainstream, right?
Now, I disagree with you a little bit on the Royals, because- but specifically- not just because of my accent, but specifically because of what Markle represents.
That's the problem.
Nobody cares about what William's saying, you know, on- on- on camera this morning.
don't care about that. What I care about is that you know she is the chief representative of Woketopia right now. She's the chief ambassador from Woketopia right now. And I agree with you totally and I'd love you to explain a little bit more when you say that conservative media should do better because I sit here and I tear my hair out looking at conservative media and see how they're not going through line by line like you are with the with the bill and they're not going through you know they're not watching Jen Psaki every day and really piecing out what she's saying and what she means and all
marjorie taylor greene
of that. So can you expand on that a little bit? Yeah because they get blacklisted.
So here's the deal, Fox News, do you ever see me on there?
steve bannon
Nope.
marjorie taylor greene
I never get asked.
raheem kassam
Well I wouldn't know, I don't watch it.
steve bannon
You're not going to be on there.
marjorie taylor greene
Exactly.
steve bannon
Murdoch's not going to put you on there.
You know why?
Because you're a threat to the system.
marjorie taylor greene
Right.
steve bannon
You're a threat to the system.
marjorie taylor greene
So every single person that works in Washington, D.C., they are there because they care about getting their livelihood and their existence and everything about their life.
That's what they care about.
The difference in me is I don't want to be here at all.
I gave up a awesome life.
I'm not kidding you.
I gave up an American dream to come into this, what I consider to be a shithole, and excuse my language, because I'm pissed off.
Because I'm watching the greatest country in the world Be on fire and burning down and this is gonna affect my children and my grandchildren and so I'm Not only am I successful and I know how to accomplish things.
I know how to line up a process I know how to think outside the box.
I know how I understand marketing I have a degree in marketing, but I'm also a mom and my my family's the most important part of my life so I'm very much a mama bear in this and Here's the problem The problem is the political industry, the economy in Washington, D.C.
unidentified
So everything you're saying is like hurting me at my core because you are my spirit animal right now.
Everything you were saying is like, I'm right there with you.
And I think I'm just sitting here wondering what is wrong with the Republican Party right now?
Because I remember when we had control under Obama, we just dug our heels in and stopped.
And we're like, we're not going to pass this.
We're not going to do this.
Why is the Republican Party right now acting like they want to work with the Biden administration?
They want to kind of get things done.
I just don't understand.
steve bannon
Or sweep things under the rug.
unidentified
Yeah, what's really going on?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, it's just like the media.
They can't get their press passes to the White House unless they're nice to the Biden administration.
If they were telling the truth and putting out the truth, they would be blacklisted.
They wouldn't be allowed to go in.
So the Republicans are the same way.
They're like, oh, we got to be nice.
steve bannon
We've got a minute in this segment, but I want you to go back to the COVID bill.
Why was it only you that sat there and forced and said, we've got to go through this thing, we have to expose this, because you can't depend upon the Senate.
They all say, what's the Senate doing?
You're sitting there going, no, you can't depend upon the Senate.
We have an obligation to do it now.
Why did you get no backup in that?
marjorie taylor greene
I have some back up.
House Freedom Caucus backs me up.
And then some allies too.
steve bannon
Jim Jordan and the crew over there?
marjorie taylor greene
Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Chip Roy.
Yeah, that crowd.
Definitely back me up.
And then allies to the Freedom Caucus back me up.
But they're quiet about it, but they'll vote my way.
Here's what it is.
So, like I said, you have to make a plan and you have to work through it.
So, in the House, we should be fighting, I mean, we should be locking down the House of Representatives every single way.
You want to know what that does?
That pushes the messaging out into the media.
And then we're able to put out there, here's what's wrong, here's what's wrong, this is why we'll do anything, we'll stay up all night long, no matter what it takes to stop it.
And then the story gets out there, and you know what that does?
That builds the fight in the public because you need the American people to get engaged and get involved and stop being social media complainers, but to be activists.
Get Republicans to be activists.
Once we push that out there, then guess what happens?
That gives the Republicans in the Senate power.
It gives them power to fight back and stop this stuff, and it also puts pressure on those moderate Democrats that are at risk of losing their Senate seats.
It puts tons of pressure on them and then all of a sudden the whole thing flows together so much better even though we're in the minority.
But nobody seems to comprehend this.
They're just afraid they're going to get their hands slapped by Kevin McCarthy and maybe get in trouble and somebody writes a bad article about them.
steve bannon
We're taking a short commercial break.
That 60 seconds is the best analysis of this city I've heard.
We'll be back in a minute with MTG.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, it's the first anniversary of the historic Oval Office address of President Donald J. Trump on March 11th, 2020, that he declared this a pandemic.
And by the way, it was 60 days after the war room pandemic launched because of our understanding of China and what was going on.
With the bioweapons lab in Wuhan and everything that leaked out of there or was driven out of there.
We still haven't found that out yet.
If you're going to be a patriot warrior, if you're going to be a fighter, if you're going to be in the war room, you're in the arena.
If you're in the arena, you're in the fight.
Okay?
We need patriot warriors to be health warriors also.
You got to get that immune system up.
We've now got the new deal.
Go to warroomdefense.com.
Get your free vitamins today.
You got to pay shipping and handling.
We got the vitamin D3 and the zinc.
Of course, with the helmet of the Spartans of the 300.
And I've got to tell you, we have a Spartan here.
A fighter.
I want to go back.
That was the best 60 second succinct analysis of what the system is.
Now that you're doing it, behind the scenes are people coming up to you and saying, hey, we appreciate what you're doing.
We appreciate the incoming you're taking.
We know that what you're fighting for is correct and that this is how we should be doing this.
marjorie taylor greene
Yes, very much so.
Very much so.
So at first, you know, when I got here to Congress, the media had made me this, you know, this horned scary lady.
john fredericks
A caricature.
marjorie taylor greene
Yes, exactly.
And so people didn't know what to expect from me.
But the more, you know, my colleagues have gotten to know me and have found out, oh wait, they've lied about her.
This is not the person that the media has told everyone she is.
Yes, I've developed relationships, and it's good to have relationships, but they're business and they're strategic.
The relationships that I care about most, the ones that matter to me, are my family and my friends, the people that know me, and they're back at home.
None of them are moving here to Washington D.C.
so my connections are all at home.
steve bannon
Is leadership, is McCarthy or Cheney or any of this crowd at all coming to your support even behind the scenes and saying we like what you're doing because we're only going to get this exposed if you are at the tip of the spear here?
Are you getting any of that support or is it all just Freedom Caucus and people that are part of the Trump movement over there?
marjorie taylor greene
No, I don't feel that I have support from leadership.
If I did, I wouldn't have been removed off of my committees.
Did they betray you?
I don't know.
I think they stood back and said, let it happen.
steve bannon
Why?
marjorie taylor greene
Because they don't want to be connected to me.
Because they know in 2022, the Democrats are going to use me as the face of the Republican Party, just like they use Trump.
And they're going to use me and the crazy image they've created of me and try to tear down other Republicans.
steve bannon
Did they ever look at the Tea Party Revolt in 2010?
We won 62 seats.
It was people like you that did it back in those days.
People had, and a lot of them changed after they got here.
But you with the fighting spirit of the Sarah Palins, of the Michelle Bachmans, everybody wants to forget about that.
That was the fighting spirit.
A Tea Party movement led by women who would not back down.
That's what led to that 62 seat.
You as the front in 2022, as things are going to play out, I think it's just going to be fine because courage is contagious and you're absolutely correct.
You've got to get a grassroots movement that backs up here exactly what's going on.
Your methodology is quite brilliant.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, here's the deal.
People back at home, the man and woman that are working 12-hour shifts or maybe have two to three jobs because they're trying to make their rent, they're trying to make their car payment, they're trying to save up some money to hopefully maybe take that cruise or that vacation, you know what they're looking up here at Washington, you know what they see?
They see a bunch of members of Congress that are so disconnected and these people are so lazy and irritated with Marjorie Taylor Greene because she made a motion to adjourn that 41 or 40 of them yesterday just didn't want to be inconvenienced and walk to the floor and go vote for a motion to adjourn because it might mess up their schedule or their Zoom meeting or just because it's annoying to have to walk down there and vote.
The people back at home, the regular American people, which is what this country is made of, People are pissed off.
They're like, are you kidding me?
Here we are having gun control.
We're voting on that today.
Here we are, they funded Planned Parenthood and this $1.9 trillion.
Here they are, Equality Act.
Destroying gender, wiping it out.
It's a complete lie.
Biggest attack on God.
Attack on God's creation.
It's absolutely immoral and disgusting.
unidentified
And then, so it's all these things that are being... And destroying women's sports in the process.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah.
My daughter's a D1 athlete.
She's, she's right, I'm going to watch her play this weekend.
steve bannon
What about HR1?
marjorie taylor greene
HR1, federalization of elections, will kill our country.
We're talking mass mail-in ballots.
That was the biggest problem.
Still in Georgia?
Oh, horrible in Georgia.
We're talking about same-day voter registration with no ID.
steve bannon
Why are we hearing this from you?
raheem kassam
What's to stop me?
steve bannon
Why are we hearing this from you and we're not hearing this over, wash, rinse, repeat, wash, rinse, repeat, even going through the bill and showing the radical nature, this legislation today, that Biden will sign tonight, it's the most radical piece of legislation, it's been passed in 30 or 40 years, fully financed!
They don't have to go back to Paris, they've got 1.9 trillion to finance all this.
Why is it that it's not every day pounded, pounded, pounded, and then give the Senate something to hang on to and build a counter, a counter-attack on this?
Why is that not happening?
marjorie taylor greene
Because that's not how it works.
That's not business as usual.
And business as usual is the whole reason why we're losing our country.
And business as usual doesn't work and it's a failure.
If business as usual in Washington D.C.
was the way regular people ran their private companies, no one's private company would ever succeed.
People's companies would fail and then they would be homeless.
steve bannon
Okay, this audience is an action audience.
This is an activist audience.
Tell our audience what you need to have your back.
What should people do right now?
Where do they go?
How do they support you?
How do they give you that gravity and back, that center of gravity that lets you drive forward?
marjorie taylor greene
Okay, I need your donations.
I need your help.
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene has an eontheend.com.
I need you to go in there if you're willing to give me $5, $10, $20.
I can't tell you how much it helps me because I'm the number one target by the Democrats and the number one target by the RINOs.
They're going to try to take me down, so your small dollar donations I can't tell you how much they help.
I desperately need that.
But here's what I want you to do.
I'm going to give you marching orders.
All right.
I'm tired of seeing Republicans just whine and complain on social media.
I know you're frustrated.
I know you're angry.
I feel the exact same way.
We have to get off of our tails and we have to go into action.
Stop being too busy, working too busy with your life.
You have to get involved because we're losing our country.
And so here's what I need you to do.
I need you to get the job at the elections office.
You're going to hate everybody that works in there, but it doesn't matter.
Get the job there.
Or volunteer there.
Run for city council.
Run for county commissioner.
Run for the school board.
That is where they, that is the worst place.
steve bannon
We need good people there.
Precinct committee men.
They've got to sign up for the precinct committee men and take over the Republican Party.
marjorie taylor greene
Yes, and here's the deal.
Here's what you're going to find.
I'm going to tell you straight up.
You're an outsider.
You're going to go into this world and they're not going to like you.
They're going to reject you.
Do not leave.
You've got to be there.
You're going to go in and want to change everything.
That's exactly why you need to be there.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got a hard out.
We'll put your social media up and how people get contact with you daily.
You're a patriot and you're a hero and you've got to fight and we're going to have your back.
