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

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The newly released images, shot last week by the government at border facilities in Donna and El Paso, Texas, depict crowded but orderly conditions. | ||
| Migrant children en masse having their temperatures taken. | ||
| Others exercising outside. | ||
| Small children on laps, waiting to be processed. | ||
| Others sleeping on mats with Mylar blankets. | ||
| A striking contrast, makeshift playpens in a place so far from home. | ||
| The images were released a day after Democratic Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar leaked photos inside the Donna facility. | ||
| Some rank-and-file Border Patrol agents who've been inside this facility say it's not their fault. | ||
| We're border patrol agents. | ||
| We're not daycare. | ||
| So that's not what we're designed for. | ||
| We rode along with the Texas Department of Public Safety who helps federal agents patrol the border by air. | ||
| This is the epicenter of the migrant surge here in the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| The Texas DPS says that it's encountered nearly 9,000 migrants in just the last two weeks. | ||
| It took just a few minutes for us to start seeing migrant after migrant crossing. | ||
| Here comes another rapid cross. | ||
| And here's another one. | ||
| There's 31 right here. | ||
| 31 in that group alone? | ||
| Just in this group right here. | ||
| Some of them young children. | ||
| There's three children and the rest are adults. | ||
| And you guys are seeing this all day? | ||
| All day long. | ||
| You can see the coyotes returning to the Mexican side right now. | ||
| In just a few minutes that we've been up here we've seen more than 60 migrants cross the border? | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| And there's eight, nine minutes time. | ||
| These troopers are also on the lookout for smugglers by boat. | ||
| The battle at the border being fought on multiple fronts. | ||
| This is the walk back. | ||
| This is the walk back of Joe Scarborough. | ||
| By the way, Henry Gonzales buried lead. | ||
| Henry Gonzales, an old war horse in the Democratic Party from down South Texas. | ||
| He understands unless he gets on top of this. | ||
| Why do you think Henry Gonzales is leaking it? | ||
| Henry Gonzales realizes he's done in 2022. | ||
| This is hard-working, blue-collar Hispanics in these districts, like Zapata County, these counties, Hidalgo, that Donald Trump either won or came up 60% shifts. | ||
| Henry Gonzalez, those Democrats, hey, this ain't about redistricting because of the census. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| You're gone because you're fired by working class Hispanics. | ||
| This is the walk back from Joe Scarborough yesterday, Raheem, going on for five minutes about, hey, basically the war room is correct, right? | ||
| What they've been saying is absolutely correct. | ||
| And he got blown up on Twitter. | ||
| Maybe not as much as we thought he was going to get blown up. | ||
| But hey, they were in panic mode yesterday. | ||
| Henry, when you lose Henry Gonzalez and Joe Scarborough, You've got a problem. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, and then I want to go to Eric Greitens. | ||
| No, I think you've said it all. | ||
| I don't want to hear what Eric has to say on it. | ||
| Yeah, look, you've said it all. | ||
| You've also lost the American people. | ||
| There's nobody who's watching that who's saying, I voted for Joe Biden because he promised open borders and amnesty. | ||
| I'm voting for Joe Biden because I wanted him to turn our border over to Mexican gangs and cartels. | ||
| There's nobody who's watching that who's saying, I voted for Joe Biden so he could create a crisis on the border, which I always point out, not just bad for public safety, not just bad for public health, not just bad for economics. | ||
| It's also it points to the heartlessness of the left. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| This is taking some of the most vulnerable kids in the world and making them pawns For Mexican drug runners, for the Mexican cartel on the border. | ||
| Do you think we got blown up enough yesterday? | ||
| Do you think the left realized they had a problem when Joe Scarborough starts flipping them in the morning and they gotta start covering this now that it's under control, it's not a problem? | ||
| You know, you give a lot more credit to Joe Scarborough than I do. | ||
| You really do. | ||
| I think they realized they had a problem a long while ago. | ||
| I'll add some context to this as well. | ||
| We have some exclusive polling from Rasmussen. | ||
| Just hit my inbox this morning that I can share with you. | ||
| The question is, border security a vital national security interest for the United States these days? | ||
| 65% of likely voters say yes. | ||
| Only 20% say no. | ||
| The numbers go higher. | ||
| 67% for males, 64% females. | ||
| If you take 18 to 39 year olds out who only answer that question in the affirmative at a rate of 47%, the rest of the age groups are massively massively in favor of increased border security. | ||
| increased border security 40 to 64 year olds at 74 percent 65 percent 65 plus rather than 73 percent white voters at 70 percent black voters at 54 percent Republicans 79 percent Democrats 53 percent now there was a second question in this that's come up from Rasmussen here as well when it comes to immigration reform which is more important | ||
| Gaining control of the border or legalising the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States? | ||
| And the most interesting parts of this is likely voters say 62% gaining control of the border, only 31% legalising the status of undocumented workers. | ||
| 18 to 39 year olds however that number is 46 place 44 and amongst Democrats it's upside down as far as I'm concerned 42 place 50. | ||
| 50% of Democrats say legalizing the status of undocumented workers already in the United States is more important than gaining control of the border. | ||
| But still 40. | ||
| But this is what I'm saying. | ||
| This is what I'm saying. | ||
| They realize they've got a problem and the numbers are shifting against them. | ||
| That 40 from the Democratic Party, trust me, is the Hispanic part of the Democratic Party. | ||
| They're sitting there going, hey, you're not going to do it on our backs, right? | ||
| Because we're going to start flipping and voting for these populists down the Rio Grande Valley. | ||
| We really want to thank the folks at MyPillow. | ||
| Go to MyPillow.com today. | ||

| Support the great American company, MyPillow. | ||

| Put in promo code WARROOM today. | ||
| Go there right now. | ||
| See all the products they've got. | ||
| Okay, I wanted to go to Nino, David Rodriguez, and he's down in El Paso, Texas. | ||
| Our favorite place where we built the first part of the wall on the We Build the Wall project. | ||
| David, you heard the walkback, even the walkback from Morning Joe trying to talk about how the facilities are good, but they still couldn't get away from the fact that this is exploding. | ||
| They had the DPS officers, they had all this, and you heard Henry Gonzalez. | ||
| He's leaking this information, he's worried, and Rahim just walked you through the polling that showed overwhelmingly the American people want to get good order and discipline down on that border. | ||
| David, what do the people in El Paso think? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I'm not going to lie to you. | |
| This is an invasion. | ||
| It's an invasion. | ||
| Our border is overwhelmed with immigrants coming in. | ||
| I can't help but think of the fact that this is a hit. | ||
| A hit on America. | ||
| They steal the election. | ||
| They give us the pandemic. | ||
| They steal the election. | ||
| And now here comes open borders. | ||
| This is all part of the globalist thing. | ||
| I mean, this is what's happening. | ||
| They're opening the borders and everybody's coming. | ||
| It's not just Mexico. | ||
| People need to understand that. | ||
| We have people from Yemen coming in, Honduras, El Salvador. | ||
| There's all kinds of different people coming into America through this channel. | ||
| So that's what we're dealing with. | ||
| And the Border Patrol, my Border Patrol friends are telling me, I talked to them. | ||
| Every day or every other day. | ||
| And they're telling me, dude, we don't know what to do. | ||
| I mean, we, babies essentially became a daycare and a Uber service for these people. | ||
| It's just, and now they're going to have to start using hotels to put these people in there. | ||
| It's, it's, and that's where our tax dollars are going. | ||
| To house these people and to give them free stuff, programs, whatever. | ||
| So it's, this is out of control. | ||
| And to follow up on the importance of what David is saying, he's mentioning the folks who are coming in from Yemen who are, by the way, on the terrorist watch list. | ||
| They're picking people up who are on the terrorist watch list. | ||
| If your guy doesn't have a problem, you're coming in the right way. | ||
| You're not walking up through Mexico. | ||
| And the other thing that I think is so important about what David is saying, like, look, he's out there on the front lines. | ||
| He's talking to Border Patrol agents. | ||
| We just showed those pictures. | ||
| The American people are smart. | ||
| You look at those pictures. | ||
| You can see that we have lost control of our own border because of Biden has created this border crisis. | ||
| David, we had this polling that Rahim talked about. | ||
| Give us your sense of the working class folks down there because I've said the salvation of this country and the salvation of the Republican Party is more of a populist movement with working class Hispanics, working class African-Americans and Asians as a part of this. | ||
| Do you get a sense? | ||
| We know in the Rio Grande Valley the The vote was pretty dramatic. | ||
| Henry Gonzales was concerned. | ||
| El Paso is a whole different deal. | ||
| I remember we built the wall down there. | ||
| We had the conferences and got to meet you and your fellow colleagues down there. | ||
| And I think at one time you were actually thinking about running for Congress. | ||
| What's the politics down in that part of Texas given the fact that Juarez used to be a great little border town. | ||
| Now that's a crime haven with the cartels and the cartels basically control the border. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, come on, it's crooked as a dog's hind leg here. | |
| It's bad. | ||
| You know as well as I do, Steve, the players here in El Paso, and it's crooked. | ||
| Basically, the working class here, Hispanic community, they don't like it either. | ||
| They came here, they're paying their taxes. | ||
| They see what's going on. | ||
| So there's a lot of good Mexican people that are against this and they're Trump supporters. | ||
| But you have now, it seems like it's becoming the majority that's coming over here that just, you know, they're not coming for the American dream. | ||
| People need to understand this. | ||
| A lot of these kids that are coming here, and as much as it hurts my heart to say this, they're They're manipulating the system. | ||
| They know what they're doing. | ||
| These kids at 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 years old, they're career criminals already. | ||
| This is not a joke. | ||
| They know what they're doing. | ||
| I grew up in Juarez and El Paso. | ||
| I went back and forth to both. | ||
| I know the system. | ||
| I know what happens here. | ||
| I know the mentality. | ||
| Of the criminal element around here? | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Hang on, they're being manipulated by adults to game the system? | ||
| Be specific about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A lot of them come from broken families. | |
| They come from gangs as their families. | ||
| Okay, gangs are their families. | ||
| So, a lot of them. | ||
| I'm not saying all of them. | ||
| I'm saying a lot of them. | ||
| You know, there's still good people coming over here. | ||
| I'm not, don't think I'm distorting that at all. | ||
| What I'm saying is, a lot of these kids They're very manipulative, they know how to work this system. | ||
| Does that make sense? | ||
| Like, they know how to work this. | ||
| They know what they're doing. | ||
| You know, they come over here, then they go back over, they come over, I mean, this is... Let me ask you, what would be your recommendation? | ||
| One time you were thinking about getting into politics, for a host of reasons you didn't, but what would be your recommendation? | ||
| If you had Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or one of these people down there, what are the two or three things you'd tell them that's gotta happen right away? | ||
| Give me a solution from El Paso. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Close the border. | |
| Close it completely until we handle this mess. | ||
| But we know, you know as well as I do, they're not going to do that. | ||
| This guy is, like I've said before, he's a CCP Manchurian candidate. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| He stole 2020. | ||
| This is a hit on America. | ||
| And I'm just going to tell it to you point blank. | ||
| Cut and dry. | ||
| This is a hit on America. | ||
| We are being invaded. | ||
| This is not immigration. | ||
| They're not coming through the proper channels. | ||
| They're doing it the right way. | ||
| We are being invaded. | ||
| That's what's happening. | ||
| David Nino, by the way, you're five or six times a heavyweight champ. | ||
| I know you're also MMA. | ||
| Six times. | ||
| Six times. | ||
| Brother, it's good to see you again. | ||
| Can't wait to get back down to El Paso. | ||
| We're going to come down to the wall. | ||
| We're actually going to put on another big conference down there. | ||
| You're going to be a big part of it. | ||
| Love the support you gave us last time. | ||
| It was amazing down there with the working class Hispanics and the Trump supporters, all of it down in El Paso, Texas. | ||
| Thank you very much, David. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got it, Steve. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| When you have people down there like David and others that are saying, hey, this is destroying our communities, right? | ||
| This is this is we look at this as an invasion. | ||
| We don't care what the Eastern elites think. | ||
| We don't care what these Ivy League thing. | ||
| We don't care what Washington, D.C. | ||
| says. | ||
| We don't care what's either on Fox News or CNN. | ||
| We're telling you the ground truth. | ||
| Show the pictures. | ||
| The American people can see it for themselves. | ||
| You can look down. | ||
| OK, it doesn't take a genius to see what's happening. | ||
| The Biden administration has opened the border and now hundreds of Thousands of people are coming across. | ||
| And look, we have Michael Yan down in Panama. | ||
| These kids and the women are jeopardy. | ||
| The reason we built that wall down with David and the Border Patrol, and that's how we met David, they said, hey, this is where the cartel, their number one crossing place from Juarez, Juarez at the time was more dangerous than Kabul, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kabul. | |
| And in Afghanistan, higher murder rate, right? | ||
| Which used to be a nice border town. | ||
| Now it's a crime area. | ||
| And, what you've got is that these kids all the way from Central America, all up, are being totally manipulated and used. | ||
| Completely taken advantage of. | ||
| Totally taken advantage of. | ||
| I mean, you see the stuff that we saw on the other side. | ||
| I can't even tell you how horrific. | ||
| Remember, we had to have people, when we had Rahim, we had people come on and he said, you can't burk on me, you can't tell the actual details, because you've got an FCC license in his family. | ||
| It's too horrific of what's going on with women and children and the young kids down there. | ||
| We're going to turn in a second. | ||
| We have another Navy SEAL that tells us exactly what the truth is. | ||
|

|
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. | ||
| You know, here on the show we try to specialize in both talking about the big picture, the geopolitics of it, the capital markets, the finance, and get guys like Dave Brat and others, Jason Trenner, to talk about that. | ||
| But we also want to get down to the deck plates because the truth is in the granularity of it all, and we try to get as many people. | ||
| David Rodriguez, El Nino, and others on here to really show you people at the tip of the spear. | ||
| This is why we're going to have her back later in the week. | ||
| Lydia Friend, Women for Watts, leading that great effort to open the schools. | ||
| We're also going to have later in the show Clarice Slinginger from Keep the Children in School. | ||
| She's going to be joining us next, but we've got to go back to the border. | ||
| I want to bring in Craig Sawyer, another former Navy SEAL. | ||
| By the way, I don't have the prejudice for the Navy SEALs. | ||
| As a Surface Warfare Officer, as Nelson's Navy, as a direct lineage with the Royal Navy and the Surface Warfare Officers of Nelson, we always love our commandos, right? | ||
| We always love our commandos. | ||
| So Craig Sawyer, veterans... All part of the family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All part of the Go Navy family here, yes. | |
| All part of the family. | ||
| You wouldn't know that when you're underway, but that's okay. | ||
| Craig Sawyer, Veterans for Child Rescue down in southern Arizona in the Tucson area. | ||
| Craig, honored to have you on here. | ||
| We've got Commander Greitens on here, now running for the Senate up in Missouri. | ||
| And I want to toss over to you two guys because... | ||
| I think we need to tell the audience exactly what is going on here, right? | ||
| Why these kids are at jeopardy. | ||
| You know, David Rodriguez said, hey, the last episode said, hey, these kids are already, a lot of them are already being incorporated into the criminal networks to game the system coming across. | ||
| That's one of the great tragedies here. | ||
| We've had Michael Yan from down in the combat correspondents down in Central America. | ||
| He says, look, you see it coming through the Darien Gap. | ||
| He says these women get raped, they get abused, the kids get abused, the American people do not know what's going on under their name because it's open borders. | ||
| So Craig, tell us what you guys are working on, how bad is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, my whole mission is to expose child trafficking to the American populace who are generally unwitting to it. | |
| So I've been doing a lot of ride-alongs with different law enforcement units down on the border in Laredo, Tucson. | ||
| El Paso and just looking at what's going on with the children down there and I'm seeing an absolute invasion. | ||
| I'm seeing our law enforcement absolutely overwhelmed. | ||
| And on one hand, it's inspiring to see guys that are spread out so thin and set up for failure by their traders in DC, frankly, trying to do their best and responding to each other's calls. | ||
| There'll be a big high-speed rollover and they'll be 10 or 15 different units from different agencies show up there to back each other up, because they're all they have. | ||
| They're one or two guys per agency down there spread thin, except for Border Patrol. | ||
| Border Patrol are pretty heavy in some of these areas, thank God. | ||
| But they can't catch them all. | ||
| So it's literally like running around trying to put their finger in the dike of our national security. | ||
| And that's not funny to me. | ||
| You know, coming from a background of the military, why did I travel to 60 countries around the world Over the last several decades, trying to defend our homeland against any sort of foreign invader, only to have a president make the international announcement, whether officially or unofficially, but give the signal that, hey, it's wide open. | ||
| We're all comers. | ||
| And when we have all comers, that means we're going to get the terrorists. | ||
| We're going to get the disease super spreaders. | ||
| We're going to get the worst of the worst, along with Everything else, and it just will not do. | ||
| On what planet does it make sense that a country has no knowledge or control of its border? | ||
| So we're seeing people, you know, groups of five or ten will tie up our law enforcement units in one location, and then the cartels that have drones up, and they've got trail cameras up, and they've got informants calling and talking to them, and they've got a lot of, you know, there's a lot of corruption on both sides. | ||
| And they've got a lot of information, so they'll push a group of 50 to 100 to 200 elsewhere, upriver or across town, and law enforcement can't catch them all. | ||
| And it's demoralizing, but it's meant to demoralize them and to destabilize the United States. | ||
| I'm seeing evidence of the cloud pivot strategy utilized. | ||
| I mean, it's obviously not meant to be an efficient and effective control of who's coming into our country. | ||
| you know, there should be an orderly process for that. | ||
| That just makes sense. | ||
| So what I'm seeing down there is chaos, and that chaos was orchestrated. | ||
| It doesn't happen organically like that, where a country just takes its hands off the wheel and lets everything devolve without there being a higher plan. | ||
| And that's what upsets me most. | ||
| And I think one of the things that Craig's pointing out that's also so important, Steve, is that when we talk about what's happened at the border, it's not just that the border has been flung open. | ||
| The control of the border has been turned over to Mexican cartels. | ||
| And the point that Craig is making, which is so important, doesn't surprise me. | ||
| Surprise me, fellow Navy SEALs, talking about what's happening operationally. | ||
| This is a sophisticated operation. | ||
| These guys are out there. | ||
| They've got intelligence networks. | ||
| They've got equipment. | ||
| They've got tactics. | ||
| They know what they are doing, and they're doing this. | ||
| This is an industrial process. | ||
| This is an industrial process. | ||
| High-margin business. | ||
| High-margin business. | ||
| And it is, for a lot of these guys, it is a business. | ||
| And as Craig and so many people know, who gets hurt? | ||
| Not only do the American people get hurt. | ||
| Not only do American citizens get hurt, but you're also hurting some of the most vulnerable kids in the world. | ||
| Craig, on that part where Commander Greitens brings up about the, you know, every town's a border town. | ||
| Give people the scale, because I don't think they understand this, the scale of child trafficking. | ||
| Across the border, but in the United States, coming into the United States, this is an epidemic, right? | ||
| President Trump and Ivanka, this was her big thing. | ||
| They had executive orders trying to stop the flow of this. | ||
| But give our audience just the understanding, you and Greitens, of the scale of this problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the child trafficking, you're looking at a $38 to $50 billion a year criminal enterprise, the fastest growing crime spree on earth, selling children inside the United States. | |
| So a lot of them are gained inside the U.S., but right now in this blitzkrieg that we're enduring from all comers, children are being brought here and used as pawns. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| $30 to $50 billion on an annual basis revenue for child trafficking in the U.S. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| Thirty to fifty billion dollars on an annual basis revenue for child trafficking in the U.S. alone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Think about it, Steve. | |
| That's larger than all pro sports combined. | ||
| We look at the NFL and go, my gosh, what a huge industry. | ||
| Well, how many children have to be bought and sold? | ||
| And what suffering must they be enduring for them to generate $38 to $50 billion a year in revenue? | ||
| It breaks my heart. | ||
| And when I talk to the surviving victims that have been treated this way, bought and sold, It breaks my heart and I'm a hardened veteran. | ||
| I'm a hard guy, but I'm telling you this still kicks me in the gut when I hear what they went through and what the children are suffering. | ||
| It's an evil what's happening to him. | ||
| What's done to him is deliberate. | ||
| There's a sickness behind it. | ||
| There is a there is a spiritual evil current behind this whole abuse of the children. | ||
| We could get into that maybe another time, but it is ugly and the children lose at every turn and whether they're brought across the border and sold. | ||
| Or they're taken through CPS and the child care system. | ||
| Why can't I say the word? | ||
| Foster care system. | ||
| However they're gotten, or if they're taken from bus stops when they're on the run as a runaway kid, they all end up in harm's way pretty soon. | ||
| And my mission is really to alert the populace because Steve and Eric, you guys will appreciate the worst thing that can happen for any covert operation, whether it's in counter-terrorism or in the intelligence community, is to be compromised. | ||
| And I am out to compromise the enemy's mission, rip the lid off of the secrecy that the teletraffickers are enjoying, and wreck their show. | ||
| One thing also that's important for folks to understand, and I'll just support what Craig is saying here. | ||
| Before I was a Navy SEAL, I did a lot of humanitarian work overseas. | ||
| I worked with unaccompanied children who'd survived the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia. | ||
| I worked with unaccompanied kids who'd survived the genocide in Rwanda. | ||
| And what you see around the world is that in situations where there is violence, chaos, and a lack of government, children are taken advantage of. | ||
| What's happening now, Craig's pointing out, is that this isn't happening after ethnic cleansing in Bosnia or genocide in Rwanda. | ||
| This is a crisis, a humanitarian crisis, that Joe Biden has created on the border. | ||
| And it speaks to the heartlessness of the left. | ||
| Not just them being ineffective, not just them creating a public safety and public health and an economic problem, but the heartlessness of the left. | ||
| Okay, Craig, I've got about a minute and a half for you, but then I'll get to Greitens after the break. | ||
| When you were deployed, you mentioned something earlier on, when you were deployed, and for all the commandos and special operators, you guys have always been the tip of the spear. | ||
| Did you ever think that you'd be back in the United States dealing with these problems when you deployed all over the world with the mess and anarchy and chaos of the rest of the world? | ||
| Did you ever think that you'd have to come back to the United States and mount an effort like this, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I didn't. | |
| And, you know, Yuri Bezmenov warned us. | ||
| I just wish his message would have been mandatory study in our academic system. | ||
| I never thought I would see this level of betrayal, which is exactly what it is. | ||
| It's not that we don't have An intelligence community, in the military, in the law enforcement community that know better than to have our pants down around our ankles in this manner that we do right now. | ||
| It's that we've been undermined and betrayed and sold out. | ||
| And if we don't find the moral courage to face it down and assert ourselves as tax-paying voters and citizens, everything that we hold sacred and precious will be taken from us. | ||
| We are seeing it taken from us already. | ||
| It's well underway. | ||

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, this is about human agency, human action, everything in the War Room is about that. | ||
| The work on oneself starts with your immune system. | ||
| You know this from watching the pandemic show over the last year. | ||
| It's incumbent upon you to take action yourself. | ||
| We now have warroomdefense.com. | ||
| Go there today, get the War Room Defense Pack, but you can start with the free vitamin D3. | ||
| And the zinc. | ||
| It's all free. | ||
| You gotta pay shipping and handling for that. | ||
| But make sure you go check out everything else we've got. | ||
| We're gonna have more and more upgrades as time goes on. | ||
| This is a very big focus of ours. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Thank you, by the way, very much for going to warriordefense.com. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
| Gritans. | ||
| Deployed all over the world. | ||
| American militaries. | ||
| I hear this in the vets all the time. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That I went over, I served, but I'm over in these countries, these foreign countries, we're bringing democracy, we're trying to help them out, they're all, every place, you remember, when the American military deploys, they ain't going to the Ritz or the Bristol Hotel in Paris, okay? | ||
| They're not going there. | ||
| They're going out to the worst parts of the world. | ||
| But as patriots, serving their country. | ||
| Coming back here and seeing this fiasco on the southern border, that's all unforced errors by a bunch of political elites in Washington, D.C. | ||
| How's that set with you? | ||
| Look, it's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| It is absolutely disgusting. | ||
| We are creating a humanitarian crisis on the border. | ||
| We are creating a crisis in public safety. | ||
| We're creating a crisis in public health. | ||
| And I do want to say, as a guy who's been on the front lines, let's also remember the people, the men and women Who are on the front lines, whether they are working for a state highway patrol, whether they're working for a local sheriff, whether they're looking for working for Customs and Border Patrol. | ||
| The lawlessness on the border also puts all of them in jeopardy. | ||
| Our law enforcement officers need to be supported. | ||
| They need to have leaders who are willing to stand up side by side with them and make sure that they're set up for success. | ||
| But instead, Biden has created this border crisis. | ||
| It's a tremendous disservice to all Americans. | ||
| And especially to the men and women of law enforcement who are down there trying to do a very, very difficult job. | ||
| Okay, we want to turn now to another massive aspect of this entire thing, and the schools, the kids getting education. | ||
| You know, we had Lydia Friend from Women from Watts, who did that amazing rally a couple weeks ago saying, hey, the Chinese are not taking a year off, right? | ||
| We need our kids in school. | ||
| We want to now go to the East Coast Up to around the Philadelphia area to Clarice Schillinger, and she is with the Keep the Kids in School pack. | ||
| Tell us your journey. | ||
| How did you get involved? | ||
| What was it that lit you up? | ||
| And what are you working on now about keeping the kids in school? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So over a year ago, I was kind of okay with the schools being closed with the pandemic. | |
| But when I really started to get the alarms was in August in the state of Pennsylvania, we had Hardly any cases of COVID, and our schools were still shut down. | ||
| So I do have a little bit of political background, and I thought, hmm, this sounds really political, what's happening here. | ||
| So I decided to start calling on some friends, and their advice to me was starting a PAC, a political action committee. | ||
| And we did. | ||
| So, Keeping Kids in School PAC, we now have over 90 candidates that we are endorsing that will put the children first instead of the union first. | ||
| That's what I have seen the past few months, is seeing the union just strong-arming for these schools to continue to stay closed. | ||
| And there really is zero voice at the table for the children. | ||
| And we need to get elected officials, school board in the state of PA is what we have going on right now, where they will be the voice for our children, the children that need in-person education to succeed. | ||
| You know, our children are are the most vulnerable of our community and we are just, we're neglecting them and their education. | ||
| What will our future look like without education for our kids? | ||
| Yeah, and one thing I want to follow up on here, Clarice, I mean, talk about the fact, look, it's important for kids, obviously, to get that academic education, but especially, again, for some of the most vulnerable kids in the country, a lot of times school is the place where they go and they get love, they get attention, they get support, they get mentorship. | ||
| A lot of times that's where they get a meal. | ||
| This is having a terrible impact on the most vulnerable kids around the country. | ||
| Talk a little bit about that, if you would, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, um, I'm glad you actually brought that up because just a few days ago, I got a text from one of the moms, we, we call them the million moms, um, that said that her son was sitting on this Zoom class and said, I'll refer to this child as Jimmy. | |
| Oh my gosh, Jimmy's mom just hit him over the head. | ||
| And this happened. | ||
| You know, on Zoom. | ||
| I mean, this is real. | ||
| Like, school is so much more, like you said, than just the structure of education. | ||
| It's important that we have that. | ||
| But it is shelter. | ||
| It is food. | ||
| It is heat. | ||
| It is so much more than what we're giving credit for it, you know? | ||
| We just cannot continue to let these children suffer. | ||
| The children that need school for food, for heat. | ||
| Um, and not to mention the anxiety, depression and suicide rates on the rise. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I totally agree. | |
| I mean, these schools must open and they must open now. | ||
| It is over a year that we have been closed. | ||
| For our own American children, how could we forget them, neglect them? | ||
| I'm troubled. | ||
| But Clarice and Eric, I just got a question. | ||
| Are the reason they closed is the teachers' union? | ||
| I mean, clearly DeSantis and others are showing you that by doing the targeted interventions, you've got to worry about the comorbidities of maybe the grandparents, but a logical nation can figure this out. | ||
| So Clarice, in your mind, What's the stumbling block? | ||
| What do you think is the key that picks the lock here on why our kids are not in school? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it is the teachers union. | |
| And the teachers union has found power in keeping schools closed. | ||
| How many millions of billions of dollars have been dumped in our school systems because of the schools being closed, right? | ||
| So the teachers union has found this power grab that they're not willing to let go of. | ||
| Um, in fact, the teachers union president, uh, where I'm from put out a mass email about myself and keeping kids in school pack and the moms that are with me, that we are all jerks. | ||
| And anybody that wants their child educated full time in person is a jerk. | ||
| Um, so, you know, we have been really strong armed by the union. | ||
| You know, first it was two weeks. | ||
| To, you know, flatten the curve. | ||
| Now, the goalpost has moved so quickly, we can hardly keep up, but don't worry, we will keep up. | ||
| But it has moved so quickly that now they're saying we need all new ventilations. | ||
| Well, I gotta be honest with you, most of these schools, the school my daughter attends, doesn't even have HVAC. | ||
| So, how are we gonna start building all new schools before the kids can go back to school? | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| My theory is the money coming into the schools, you know, it's this power grab for the union, and power is a drug, and they're not willing to let it go. | ||
| One of the things that I think is so important about what Clarice is touching on also is you think about who this hurts the most, right? | ||
| We talked about kids and how they go and it's schooling, but it's also social and emotional development. | ||
| For kids who have learning disabilities, The idea that they're supposed to be learning on Zoom, kids who have learning disabilities, who aren't getting that one-on-one attention that they were having in the school, those kids are going to be impacted forever because of this. | ||
| You can't take these years off. | ||
| No, no, you can't take these years off. | ||
| And I also, look at in miniature what's happening here. | ||
| Clarice is being called a jerk because she wants to have her kids in school. | ||
| What do you see? | ||
| Big picture. | ||
| You see the left, they go out and they want to call people names. | ||
| They want to call people names instead of engaging in a rational conversation about the facts. | ||
| They want to lynch people. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| She takes the courage to do it and they're going to go after her. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that's why I think it's so important for people to recognize Clarice's courage, but not just recognize it, but actually join. | ||
| Get out there and stand up. | ||
| Stand up with courage. | ||
| So let's talk about that. | ||
| How do people get access to you? | ||
| How do they get to the site? | ||
| And what are you going to do? | ||
| You got a pack? | ||
| Is this about getting candidates? | ||
| Is this about getting involved in the political process? | ||
| Clarice, is that the solution? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So with the constant strong arm of the union, we said, you know, creating this pack, right? | ||
| So you can find us at keepingkidsinschool.com. | ||
| We're also on Facebook and Twitter, Keeping Kids in School. | ||
| We have 90 candidates across the state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Who have submitted, you know, testimonies and questionnaires saying, you know, we're going to stand for the union and stand up for our children, not for the union. | ||
| So, you know, we've really interviewed and gone through, you know. | ||
| Is your focus going to be on taking over school boards? | ||
| Is your focus going to be at the federal level or the state house level? | ||
| Or is it school boards? | ||
| What's the focus going to be? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So in the state of Pennsylvania this year, it's school board races. | |
| But next year, we're not going away. | ||
| We're going to influence state, and hopefully someday federal as well, to get our kids first. | ||
| But let's go to the school board, because this is what we've been arguing. | ||
| Subsidiarity. | ||
| Get focused on... Andrew Torba over at Gab says, hey, get involved at the local level. | ||
| How many candidates do you get to run to actually start taking over these school boards? | ||
| I take it's a lot more than 90, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it is a lot more than 90. | |
| But in some particular school districts, like my own school district, for instance, we need all five seats. | ||
| All five seats are open and running right now with five candidates we've endorsed. | ||
| So if we can win those five seats for that specific school district, it'll be a win. | ||
| I can't say that it'll be a win in every school district, but as much help as we can get, I will say, you know, financially, we need help financially getting our candidates to the finish line and winning for our kids. | ||
| Okay, once again, give us your social media, give us the website so the posse can go check it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, Keeping Kids in School Facebook and Twitter and then keepingkidsinschool.com. | |
| Please join our movement and consider donating even if it's $10. | ||
| Anything will help at this point for our children. | ||
| Clarice, you got a little edge, but you're not a jerk. | ||
| I don't care what the battle's going on. | ||
| You've got to have an edge in the business you've selected. | ||
| So thank you very much. | ||
| I know you're fighting for the kids. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Welcome. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| And thank you so much. | ||
| Can I just make a point here? | ||
| Like, we've talked about the border, the humanitarian crisis on the border. | ||
| Now, Clarice is talking about what's happening in the schools. | ||
| Again, as patriots, as people who are supportive of the America First movement, we have to recognize the heartlessness of the left. | ||
| This is hurting the most vulnerable kids in America are being hurt because of these policies. | ||
| We have to take that ground back. | ||
| We cannot cede that ground to the left. | ||
| This is our ground. | ||
| It's about compassion. | ||
| It's about loving people. | ||
| It's about caring for them enough that you have the courage to stand up and to fight for them. | ||
| And that's what we need to have in this country. | ||
| A friend laid it out the other day in Watts. | ||
| We're going to have her back. | ||
| I think we're trying to get her back on a Friday. | ||
| But she had it back on. | ||
| She says, hey, in the old days, the teachers, you had to keep them out of the schools. | ||
| They want to be there for the kids. | ||
| Here you got this thing they're fighting. | ||
| And she said, she asked, what's your problem? | ||
| They go, safety. | ||
| And she goes, well, hang on. | ||
| Compton's open. | ||
| Linwood's open. | ||
| Long Beach is open. | ||
| Why is L.A. | ||
| Unified not open? | ||
| Why is Watts? | ||
| And she's the one that brought it up to me. | ||
| She says, hey, the Chinese are not taking off a year. | ||
| The kids in Watts can't take off a year. | ||
| You can't, in a highly competitive economy, you just can't do it. | ||
| I'll tell you this, my mom spent her life as an early childhood special education teacher. | ||
| You take a kid who's on the autism spectrum, you take a kid who's having trouble reading, you take a kid who has a difficult home environment, and you're going to take them out of school for over a year? | ||
| Where many of those kids, when they're in school, Steve, They've got that one-on-one attention. | ||
| Their lives can be changed and saved, and the left doesn't care enough to get them back in school. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| When we return in the War Room, we're going to get some thoughts from a very pensive Rahim Ghassan over there. | ||
| I noticed great stuff happened in the National Pulse. | ||
| You've been beavering away all morning. | ||
| Now, I'm looking at the latest information that's coming out about January the 6th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a hearing going on right now, so I'll talk about it after the break. | |
| An update with Rahim Ghassan. | ||
| Commander Eric Wright and Stephen K. Bannon in the War Room. | ||
| We'll be back in a moment. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| There's a website up in Boston that's calling Mike Lindell the bravest man in America. | ||
| If you want to support him, support his company, MyPillow, because they are under complete and total assault every day of the week. | ||
| Got a lot that they're working on getting to the bottom of what happened on November 3rd. | ||
| Also to make sure we get an election integrity going forward, support Mike Lindell, support the MyPillow company by going to MyPillow.com and supporting the war. | ||
| Just type in the promo code. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Go there, you get 120 items. | ||
| You get Raheem's slippers. | ||
| In fact, he made good with his fiancée. | ||
| In fact, Mike Lindell, if you're listening to this, let's do a branding deal here. | ||
| Kassam slippers? | ||
| Raheem Kassam slippers? | ||
| Dude, I like that. | ||
| Raheem, first off, it's just not the slippers. | ||
| It's a package deal. | ||
| You get the smoking jacket, or the robe you wear. | ||
| You get that, you get the slippers, and we'll throw in a pipe. | ||
| I'll do it. | ||
| Do you want to be as comfy as I am? | ||
| I'm going to get the thing on the Persian right again. | ||
| You're looking good. | ||
| You're so relaxed. | ||
| You were so relaxed, a little chubby too. | ||
| Before I met you. | ||
| So what's happening up on Capitol Hill right now? | ||
| Well, so it's interesting. | ||
| The developments on this story about January the 6th. | ||
| Let's look at the Politico article from this morning, headlined, New Evidence Suggests Alliance Between Oath Keepers Proud Boys Ahead of January the 6th. | ||
| That's the headline. | ||
| Alliance over a keg party? | ||
| Who's buying beers? | ||
| But when you get into the article, as you said to me in the break, Eric, it turns out that it's not quite what it seems, right? | ||
| This tends to happen. | ||
| The alliance that they speak of appears to be that the two groups that People, individuals within those two groups, which are kind of amorphous in and of themselves anyway, right? | ||
| There as much ideas as Antifa is, let's put it that way. | ||
| So, you've got these two groups, all these different elements of them, all these different branches of them, and then individuals from these groups talk to one another. | ||
| Shock horror. | ||
| They coordinated, the coordination appears to be a bunch of text messages, That describe how they are going to deal with Antifa if they get attacked by Antifa. | ||
| So it wasn't coordination about storming the Capitol or mounting an insurrection or any of that. | ||
| Is that the best they got? | ||
| Look, I don't know if that's the best they've got, but it's all they've got right now. | ||
| Well, you think they would throw the best out. | ||
| They leak the best, right? | ||
| They show you a little leg to get you, to entice you to follow the whole thing. | ||
| So they're normally going to leak. | ||
| How buried does that lead? | ||
| How many paragraphs down? | ||
| Well, actually, no, this is pretty high up in the story, because the next part of it is even more interesting, and I think this is the buried lead, which is that they talk about how the groups were convinced that Donald Trump was going to exercise the Insurrection Act, invoke the Insurrection Act. | ||
| They actually did believe that? | ||
| So their presence in Washington DC, according to this report, wasn't to mount an insurrection. | ||
| I'm just reading from Politico. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Wasn't to mount an insurrection, but was to be there for when Donald Trump invoked the insurrection. | ||
| So again, it runs completely counter to the narrative that we've been told all the time that these people were going to come here to hang congressmen and mount an insurrection. | ||
| Yeah, and to think, and to think, when again, when you step back and you look strategically, like, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer used all of these lies to orchestrate the drive-by impeachment again of President Trump. | ||
| Obviously, none of the facts were there, but this just demonstrates this is what the left is willing to do. | ||
| Now, the good news is, I think even since 2016, I'll tell you, I talked to people across the state of Missouri, they've caught on. | ||
| Nobody is believing the stuff that's being pushed by the mainstream press. | ||
| They're at the lowest credibility. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Well, what I'm saying is that when you look at the poll numbers that are coming out about people who actually believe the mainstream media, it's the lowest that it has been since they started polling. | ||
| They've lost credibility because for years they pushed the Russia-Trump collusion hoax. | ||
| For years they pushed the lies about Brett Kavanaugh. | ||
| And so what's happened is now people are coming to War Room, people are going to other places to actually get the facts, and then they're sharing it with themselves and their friends. | ||
| And we have to do that because we've seen the kind of stuff that'll be pushed by the mainstream media. | ||
| Before I get to Raheem's podcast, what we're going to do tonight, Fybe, real quickly, when you see what's happened on the southern border, and this is why we're going to have more guys like Rodriguez and some of the SEALs, people working down there. | ||
| The chaos you see there is what you saw in areas of the world that you were deployed to. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Look, unfortunately we've seen, because of leftist policies, you're starting to see that chaos right here at home. | ||
| Last July, I was in downtown St. | ||
| Louis. | ||
| Downtown St. | ||
| Louis having a piece of pizza. | ||
| 15 to 25 automatic gunshots went off. | ||
| I grabbed my gun. | ||
| I grabbed my med kit. | ||
| My buddy and I got in the car. | ||
| We drove about 50 yards to it. | ||
| And Steve, this is one of the nicest corners in the city of St. | ||
| Louis. | ||
| And there were two young kids who got killed. | ||
| Shot, dead, that Yesterday we had our hands on them. | ||
| We're working on them. | ||
| I met with their families. | ||
| This is happening in St. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Louis. | |
| It's happening in Kansas City. | ||
| It's happening around the country because of these leftist policies and the attacks on the police. | ||
| The podcast this afternoon, what are you going to have? | ||
| I'm not doing a new podcast today, and that's because I implore people to go back and listen through. | ||
| If you haven't listened through all of yesterday's and the day before's, The Peter Daszak one is imperative, and the Ahmed Al-Issa one is imperative. | ||
| Go and listen to those ones, and then I'll have one for you again tomorrow. | ||
| And Peter Daszak, we're going to have Dr. Li Ming Yan on here for a special, I think around 11 o'clock or 11.30 tomorrow in the morning show. | ||
| We're going to figure out the timing of it to get her on and to go through And people should go to your podcast. | ||
| We're going to do a summary version of that and add some additional information. | ||
| But it's just amazing your reporting on this, which is now I realize we've got to step back and really explain again. | ||
| You know, people in positions of authority who are very well read and up to date, they say, well, I don't really understand the gain of function, how it ties together. | ||
| This is absolutely central. | ||
| And all of it, not least, is it central to everything that's going on right now, but it's actually a really weak point. | ||
| That's where they hide up, that's where the mainstream is. | ||
| Remember, in the two-minute, in Alaska the other day, just remember something. | ||
| I don't think the US government, at least publicly, never brought up, and what we understand, never brought up the CCP virus. | ||
| Never brought it up about, hey, what went on in the lab. | ||
| They might have talked about, hey, how we're going to work on climate change and the vaccine. | ||
| How do people get access to you? | ||
