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

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Wednesday, 7 April, Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
| You're in the War Room from the nation's capital now. | ||
| We're at 45 million downloads on the podcast, live everywhere, streaming. | ||
| We'll get to all that in a little bit. | ||
| Proud to be part of the family of MyPillow.com. | ||
| Go to MyPillow.com today. | ||
| Go there immediately. | ||
| I didn't use my towel. | ||
| promo code war room two for one sheets forty percent off the slippers and moccasins up to sixty six percent off many of the products but discounts on everything go there today okay uh... reem kassam i didn't use my towel i use a different towels morning i didn't want to say still kind of moist i didn't want to say anything that you were I didn't want to comment on your moisture. | ||
| All seriousness, they do dry a lot better than other towels. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| I don't know the science. | ||
| It's a special technology. | ||
| It's good for me. | ||
| It works for you. | ||
| I like it when you come in your dryer. | ||
| I like that dryer wit too. | ||
| That dryer English wit. | ||
| A lot to get through. | ||
| A couple of big moves on the political side. | ||
| Mo Brooks endorsed by President Trump this morning. | ||
| Mo Brooks running for the Senate. | ||
| The populist running for the Senate down in Alabama. | ||
| If this had only happened in August of 2017, hey, just saying. | ||
| But it happened today. | ||
| Mo Brooks is going to be on the show at the bottom of the hour. | ||
| Also, New York Post reporting. | ||
| Andrew Giuliani in the White House, also in the campaign, son of the one and only Rudy Giuliani, also announcing that he is looking very seriously at a run for the governorship of New York State, the Empire State versus Cuomo. | ||
| So a lot going on. | ||
| We're going to have Bill McGinley here in the second hour with Dan Schultz. | ||
| To talk about how you, yes you, with no money, no donation, no stroking checks, how you can take over the Republican Party. | ||
| Bill McKinley, you know, is one of the smartest lawyers out there. | ||
| Dan Schultz, leader of this movement of the precinct committeemen. | ||
| So a lot happening. | ||
| I want to get to now the one and only Richard Barris, the people's pundit, the top, I think, young pollster out there. | ||
| A lot of analysis coming out of these polls he's been doing. | ||
| We need to get to that, and we're going to get to that right now. | ||
| Also, we're going to be talking about the radical transformation of this country is coming through these spending bills. | ||
| COVID-19, we told you, the most radical piece of legislation. | ||
| I think, since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, this infrastructure plan, if it goes through, that's $4 trillion, ladies and gentlemen, on top of the $4 trillion we're going to spend this year in the federal budget, right? | ||
| That's $8 trillion of spending. | ||
| And these are, this second one, is even more radical than the first. | ||
| And if it goes through as is, hey, your kids and grandkids are going to be paying for it and it's going to be very difficult to unwind the direction of this country. | ||
| And don't think that Biden and his team are not highly focused on jamming that thing through. | ||
| OK, Richard Barris, you've done a lot of polling. | ||
| I want you to step back for a second. | ||
| There's been some controversy. | ||
| We know on the open borders he's taken in the chin. | ||
| We know in the closed schools he's taken on the chin. | ||
| We know on some of these policies he's taken on the chin on women's sports. | ||
| But they're throwing down hard. | ||
| They don't care right now. | ||
| They see a chance to have a radical transformation of this country and let the devil catch the hindmost. | ||
| You've done some serious analysis on all these different bills, all these different aspects. | ||
| Before we get into the details of it, What is your sense, because it's kind of tough, we're seeing in the press how he's got 57% approval one day, 62% approval the next, and then you read the stories, it's really about COVID response. | ||
| What is your sense, right, what is it, 70, 80 days into this thing, of where Biden really stands with the American people? | ||
| So I really don't think he's moved since the election one way or the other. | ||
| We all have him a little bit above 50. | ||
| And that is a tick up from the last poll we did. | ||
| And that is because of the vaccination rollout. | ||
| And the reason why I say we can say that pretty definitively. | ||
| The only question where he scores high marks is on the vaccination issue. | ||
| And he inherited that, so that's an argument Republicans need to make. | ||
| But on everything else, Steve, China, immigration, the economy, his marks are low. | ||
| He's 11 points negative on immigration and falling quickly. | ||
| The economy, people give him about a negative 2. | ||
| So the only capital he has right now is coming from COVID and the vaccination issue. | ||
| So when that comes out from underneath him, he won't have much to go on. | ||
| Okay, let me ask you that. | ||
| When I see these headlines of Associated Press, NBC, Record Higher Than Obama, Record Approval, Approval Up, it's every other day a couple of stories. | ||
| Now you read down it, you realize they're narrow casting this. | ||
| But what are they saying? | ||
| I know it's psychological and information warfare, right? | ||
| It's like Trump's going to lose Wisconsin by 17 points. | ||
| But when you look at those different polls, tell me what the fault is in the polls so we start to go to your polling. | ||
| What is the problem with what these polls that they're pushing out is kind of information warfare right now? | ||
| Yeah, the AP was off by about 10 or 11 points on their final national poll. | ||
| It's a response bias, Steve. | ||
| I mean, I say this all the time, but people have to hear me when I tell you this. | ||
| Different people respond to different modes of collection at different rates. | ||
| And it's to the point now. | ||
| No poll is truly random. | ||
| They're pretending as if they're still, they're living in the world of randomization. | ||
| They don't even care about social desirability bias. | ||
| That's a completely different issue. | ||
| But random methodology is over. | ||
| So you have to basically make sure that every subgroup that you're targeting, every subgroup has a quota and you meet that quota and that your sample is representative of the overall electorate, the overall voter file. | ||
| And they don't do that. | ||
| They don't do that, and that's a major problem. | ||
| I want to go through now, let's go through your methodology, let's go through your, or is there other aspects of that before we finish that and go into your methodology? | ||
| Anything else on their methodology? | ||
| You've got the response bias, random bias, you've got these different biases, you say they don't do it structurally the right way. | ||
| Is there anything else before we go to how you do it correctly? | ||
| Yeah, and more time, Steve. | ||
| So if you go out there and you're in the field for a day or two, in my experience now, it's almost impossible to reach everybody in a day, two days. | ||
| You have to give them a bit of a deadline, prod them, and nudge them to take these surveys. | ||
| If you go down and look in the crosstabs, look at how many people are uncomfortable talking to pollsters. | ||
| We gave the question again, which we gave before the election. | ||
| How comfortable or uncomfortable are you discussing your political views, such as how you intend to vote, with these different groups of people? | ||
| Friends, families, co-workers, neighbors, and strangers, and political pollsters. | ||
| And 3 in 10, 4 in 10, depending on what state you're in. | ||
| Now nationwide, it's over 3 in 10. | ||
| That's a statistical nightmare. | ||
| If 3 in 10 Americans are telling you that they are uncomfortable telling you the truth about their political beliefs, you have a serious problem. | ||
| So anonymity is a big deal. | ||
| That's another. | ||
| Anonymity. | ||
| And people are not Is there anything else before we get to the numbers you do structurally that separates you from the way these other polls are done? | ||
| give them an interview. | ||
| But I think that anonymity, Steve, is a big deal. | ||
| And those response biases, they're sticking to either one mode. | ||
| The media loves LiveCaller. | ||
| LiveCaller had an error rate for us of 11 points, even with us, 11 points last year. | ||
| So that ended up being hurtful to include Live Caller in our surveys. | ||
| And then if they do do online collection, they're not factoring in. | ||
| For this year, these panels blew up. | ||
| Online collection got much more liberal. | ||
| We had a lot of people sitting at home, nothing to do during COVID, signing up for online panels. | ||
| And that really distorts it. | ||
| That could have a big effect. | ||
| And it did. | ||
| Okay, let's go through the order you want to go through, because you've got some very important information to put out here. | ||
| You take it, tell me where the H.R. | ||
| 1, you go through the immigration, you go through it the way you want to go through it. | ||
| Yeah, overall reading here, and this was a big survey, the overall reading is that, it's incredible, Republicans have basically every issue they have the American people with, but they have been ineffective and they lack leadership right now, and their leadership is unpopular, very unpopular, starting with H.R. 1. | ||
| Americans didn't really understand what was in H.R. | ||
|
unidentified
|
1. | |
| And how we did it, which I'm sure other pollsters did not, was give them a reading of the summary of the bill. | ||
| And God bless those who went through that entire interview to hear it. | ||
| And then gave them the arguments from the proponents and the opponents' side. | ||
| And then asked them whether or not they supported it. | ||
| So H.R. | ||
| 1 went down in a blaze of glory. | ||
| Only 30% support H.R. | ||
| 1, that's it. | ||
| And about half oppose it, with the rest just being unsure. | ||
| When we gave them what is inside H.R. | ||
| 1 and what are the different elements to H.R. | ||
| 1, what Democrats want to do is unpopular. | ||
| Everything the president, the prior president, talked about, Americans are on his side completely and Republicans sit here. | ||
| You know, we had Georgia, the law in Georgia, which is why we were so curious about these results. | ||
| You had people pull the MLB issue and then the Braves releasing their statement. | ||
| It's overwhelming. | ||
| It's not even close. | ||
| And for the first time ever, signature verification actually is a little bit higher. | ||
| Overall support is a little bit higher than photo identification. | ||
| Voters also want integrity deadlines like we have in Florida. | ||
| It is 8 p.m. | ||
| How many votes do you have? | ||
| End of story. | ||
| Don't tell us later Fulton County found 130,000 votes, you know, 48 hours later. | ||
| Americans don't want that. | ||
| They want At least the vote totals by a deadline, which is on election day. | ||
| And we asked them the difference. | ||
| They want an election day deadline. | ||
| So it's 8 p.m. | ||
| You don't have to tell us how many votes are for Joe Biden or his opponent, but you do have to tell us how many election day votes you have, how many early votes you have, and how many absentee votes or vote by mail votes you have. | ||
| That was important, because that is a big deal and doesn't get a lot of media coverage. | ||
| But Americans understand it. | ||
| They get it. | ||
| And we went down the list, 16-year-old voting, 17-year-old voting, felon voting. | ||
| The only thing Americans support that Democrats have proposed Is Americans having the right to vote once they serve their time? | ||
| Once they, if they've been in jail, even if they committed a felony, and then they have gotten out of jail, they paid their debt to society, they can get the right to vote again. | ||
| And that was a little, that was a bare majority, Steve, about 52%. | ||
| So not a whole, you know, not a big majority, but that's it. | ||
| On all the other line items we polled, from everything from, you know, getting rid, oh, and bans on ballot harvesting and drop boxes. | ||
| Overwhelming, 60%. | ||
| OK, this is what so and by the way, the conservatives came up with this crooked politicians bill or something like that. | ||
| Just try. | ||
| It's another cutesy, you know, thing that's not going to work. | ||
| You've got to get down to the basics of this and explain. | ||
| You agree with me to put making the saying it's the crooked politicians bill is like redonkulous. | ||
| It's just another cutesy spin. | ||
| And look, I know some of the people worked on it. | ||
| I got real admiration for him. | ||
| But, hey, it's just it's just it's just not going to work. | ||
| And having Cruz out there called the crooked politicians bill, you're not going to you're not going it's not going to work as a meme. | ||
| But what is going to work is getting into it. | ||
| This is stunning. | ||
| I just want to go back through, because H.R. | ||
| 1, ladies and gentlemen, is the one that changes everything. | ||
| The money actually changes it, but this is how they're going to slide in and try to dominate elections in the future. | ||
| H.R. | ||
| 1, you're saying when people actually are read what's in the bill dispassionately, Not from a partisan perspective. | ||
| With the Redwoods in the bill, only 30% of the American people support it. | ||
| 50% don't support it, and the other 20% saying, hey, it's too complicated for me, or I just don't have an opinion, right? | ||
| Those are stunning numbers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is stunning. | ||
| It was a long prompt, so I can't blame people for still telling, 20%, still telling us. | ||
| I don't really know. | ||
| They did, there's, the way the survey was read, too, this is why, this is important. | ||
| It is clear. | ||
| That it was passed by the House, which people understand. | ||
| It's clear when they took the survey. | ||
| So now it's being decided in the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| So there were Democrats who understood this is a Democratic bill and they still opposed it. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| So when people have read the text, the summary of the text, that's it. | ||
| They will oppose this bill. | ||
| I suspect they see it as a federal expansion and that states have been conducting elections for forever. | ||
| They don't like it. | ||
| What about, before we're going to go to quick break, real quickly, what about, this makes it harder to get around the filibuster and trying to do some jujitsu that lets them use, you know, some sort of technique to get in either past pieces of this by a majority. | ||
| This should have, this should make Cinema, Manchin, Tester, others, make sure that they don't break the filibuster in this. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
| You've got about 20 seconds. | ||
| Yeah, I'd agree. | ||
| And we asked about the filibuster as well. | ||
| Basically, that question was very general and worded. | ||
| We didn't put a party spin on it at all. | ||
| Hold it, hold it. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| We're going to get into that about the filibuster, about H.R. | ||
| 1 and others. | ||
| Immigration, all of it. | ||
| Richard Burris, the People's Pundit, I think the top young pollster out there on the other side of this commercial break. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll return with Richard Burris. | |
| 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. | ||
| You heard it right from Richard Barris, where the Joe Biden has any political capital, it's about the rollout of this vaccine and it's handling quote-unquote of the corona virus. | ||
| Whether it's from a weapons lab in Wuhan or you think it's a total hoax, we understand one thing now over a year into this, you individually have to boost your immune system. | ||
| The way to do this is start to take, begin with Vitamin D3 and Zinc. | ||
| We have it free now. | ||
| We've procured a million bottles. | ||
| You go to WormDefense.com now. | ||
| You can get that for free. | ||
| Pay shipping and handling, the Vitamin D3 and the Zinc. | ||
| You can also potentially sign up, if you so desire, to the Worm Defense Pack to boost your immune system. | ||
| Remember, the work on oneself begins with oneself. | ||
| The show's about agency, human agency. | ||
| Take action, action, action. | ||
| Don't wait, go there right now, while you're watching, listen to the show, WormDefense.com. | ||
| Get your free zinc and your free vitamin D3. | ||
| Okay, back to Richard Barris. | ||
| So let's go back to the filibuster, Richard. | ||
| Where are people on the filibuster? | ||
| Where are the American people on the filibuster? | ||
| So about a third think that, or a little under, think that a simple majority should rule, but about half say no. | ||
| So basically we phrased it in the following way, that the filibuster is a long-standing rule that prohibits a bill from moving forward unless 60 senators agree. | ||
| Would you favor changing it to simple majority rule, or would you want to keep the filibuster, basically, is generally how we worded it. | ||
| So we didn't tack on a very partisan slant to that question at all, and basically people They want to keep the rules in place, Steve. | ||
| I think they see it as a check and balance, and they don't want to go to simple majority rule. | ||
| So to abolish the filibuster at this time would be unpopular. | ||
| It would get their job done. | ||
| But like so many other issues we polled in this survey, it's a huge survey, and people should definitely go and check out the sheet so they can see all the different issues we polled. | ||
| But like so many others, they don't want to see it happen. | ||
| They want to keep the rules in place. | ||
| Okay, let's go to what's next? | ||
| Immigration? | ||
| What's the next one you want to hit? | ||
| We've done HR1, which is overwhelming, stunning, right? | ||
| What's the next one in the hopper? | ||
| Yeah, immigration. | ||
| Joe Biden's handling of immigration is a real weak point for him. | ||
| So even across the board, the racial demographics on this are very interesting. | ||
| It's not just whites driving this. | ||
| Joe Biden's not. | ||
| Getting good or high marks on immigration. | ||
| So a majority oppose the work he's doing at the border and about four, now it's about down to four and ten, support it. | ||
| But that's sliding quick and I wouldn't be surprised if we did see another poll that had him in the 30s on it. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if we're a little bit high on that, Steve, to be honest. | ||
| But down the line on economy and jobs, immigration, it's an issue. | ||
| We also asked people whether or not they thought now was a good time to give people amnesty. | ||
| When there's 10 million plus out of work. | ||
| And that was overwhelming as well, as was whether or not we should be encouraging people to come over the border. | ||
| People think right now, during a pandemic, they understand this pandemic does worry them. | ||
| There's still a lot of concern out there. | ||
| At this time, to be encouraging people to come over to the United States from South America, and we don't know whether they're vaccinated or not, is just plain stupid. | ||
| And Americans understand that. | ||
| It's one thing that, I really have to say this, one thing that strikes me, The support that Republicans have on all of these issues, their positions, and how little they fight for that. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And the next one being the transgender issues. | ||
| We asked about four different questions. | ||
| Two-to-one majorities against allowing transgenders playing on girls' soccer teams in high school. | ||
| Even professionally, two-to-one majorities. | ||
| Competing for scholarships, two-to-one majorities. | ||
| And they just sit back quietly. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| I'm not sure they know this. | ||
| I really, I'm not sure they know. | ||
| I think they actually know and they don't care. | ||
| They're so shell-shocked and really just feckless and gutless. | ||
| They won't do it. | ||
| But let's go back. | ||
| I want to go back to economy and jobs because he's spending, you know, he's sending the checks. | ||
| You look at billboards all over the country. | ||
| He says, hey, we've sent you money, cash coming to me. | ||
| They got the dollar bill signs. | ||
| Where does he stand right now with the economy and jobs? | ||
| So about 48% disapprove, I'm sorry, about 48% approve and about 50 disapprove of the job he's doing on the economy. | ||
| And we ask economy and jobs, we put them together, which was again, it's a negative two, but that's incredible considering you have couples that are getting $7,000 checks, right? | ||
| Paid family leave for government workers. | ||
| That's remarkable. | ||
| So this is as good as it's, unless the economy has an amazing turnaround, This could be as good as it gets for him on the economy and jobs, which is stunning. | ||
| The only place, the only issue we found high marks for Joe Biden was this vaccination rollout and overall handling of coronavirus. | ||
| Once that issue goes away, it's really, it gives him an incentive to keep it around forever, Steve, because once it goes away, they have nothing to stand on. In about a quarter of the country, the tell us they're not doing it. | ||
| But hang on, isn't that related to his opening, trying to open up the country by getting the vaccinations? Go back to the coronavirus and the vaccinations. What are the questions and what are they like about his handling? Yeah, well overall really it's the vaccination rollout. | ||
| That's what's doing it. | ||
| That's the highest, the highest number for him, which, you know, Trump supporters would tell you he inherited that. | ||
| I would probably personally agree with it. | ||
| But most Americans. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| What is that number? | ||
| Let's just get down 58 percent. | ||
| Fifty eight percent is support or approve of the job he's doing. | ||
| And about 42 strongly. | ||
| So that that is the one issue where he has some intensity behind him. | ||
| Even his overall approval rating is largely made up of somewhat approved, which tells you for that what that means to upholster is that it's soft. | ||
| And if something was to go awry, those somewhat approves are going to move to somewhat disapprove or undecided. | ||
| He has a high undecided number too. | ||
| During the era of Trump, almost nobody was undecided. | ||
| It almost always was a split that ended up rounding close to 198%. | ||
| Maybe Donald Trump had 2% who were undecided about the job he was doing. | ||
| With Joe Biden, it's much higher. | ||
| And the larger number of somewhat approves means his support is soft. | ||
| And he has a larger number of people who say they strongly disapprove. | ||
| So his intensity index is about negative six or so. | ||
| So those people are going to be much harder to budge. | ||
| I don't know how he wins them over if he's not doing it on the vaccine right now. | ||
| So in the future, if the coronavirus becomes more distant in the minds of voters and other things come to the forefront, like the border, he's going to have a problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A big one. | |
| Let's go back to, so when we see these numbers, these approvals at 58%, 60%, that does track what you're showing on his handling of the CCP virus and the vaccine rollout, correct? | ||
| Roughly. | ||
| On the coronavirus rollout, that does track. | ||
| His overall approval, no. | ||
| And then the faith they have in the presidency, I don't know if you have that one. | ||
| Do you have faith in Joe Biden? | ||
| That's much more split. | ||
| So really, it's clear. | ||
| When you look at the numbers, give them a good hard look, it's from the rollout of the vaccine. | ||
| Which, by the way, a quarter of the country is not going to take no matter what. | ||
| We asked that too. | ||
| Let's go back to that. | ||
| Let's go back to the vaccine. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| 25% of the country is hard no, we're not going to take it? | ||
| They're a hard no. | ||
| 24.8% about is a hard no. | ||
| They're not going to take it. | ||
| And we've asked about the flu in the past. | ||
| We've done this before. | ||
| We've been hired by people to ask the question about flu vaccinations for the season. | ||
| Typically about 75% will tell us they're going to get it. | ||
| And then in the end, only, you know, or 7% and 10%. | ||
| And then in the end, The CDC will say about 45, 40% got it. | ||
| Here we have about 40% saying they already got it. | ||
| The 25% saying they're not doing it. | ||
| They're a hard no. | ||
| And the rest saying that eventually they will. | ||
| So I, I'm curious to see how many of the people who tell us that they will, will actually get it. | ||
| And is it a matter of this each state having a different way they rolled it out? | ||
| Maybe their age group that hasn't come around yet for them. | ||
| It's not available for them. | ||
| Or if they're like the other surveys we've conducted in the past that, you know, for flu vaccinations, they say they're going to do it, but they're not. | ||
| We'll continue to track that because that's interesting. | ||
| I want to know if this is different. | ||
| Here's the thing, and you saw him back off the vaccine passports, because I know their internal polling shows that that is a death knell to him, right? | ||
| But if you do this math, unless you start counting the antibodies, which right now they're totally backing off on herd immunity, you know, that the antibody, people have had it before, count towards the herd immunity, because it's saying you've got all these variants now. | ||
| If your 24.8% number is correct, Mr. Richard Barris, and I assume it is, then they're going to be jammed up, because you can't get to herd immunity if you've got that portion of the American people just saying, hey, not for me at this time, right? | ||
| This is where, and you saw, they folded, they ranted up the flagpole about these vaccine passports, and the blowback, I think, was so intense, right, not just from this audience, but from a cross-section of the American people, that they're saying, hey, it's not us, we're not going to be involved, you know, maybe it's going to be the companies, right, they're going to have their Their cohorts in the woke companies do this, but your number saying 24.8 percent, Richard, means that we don't get to herd immunity. | ||
| Would you agree with that? | ||
| Yeah, I would. | ||
| I'm not a medical guy, but it's just a matter of numbers, right? | ||
| So, again, I suspected that this number would be roughly where we see it, because we have polled on the flu in the past. | ||
| There is, Americans are skeptical people, they've been skeptical for a very long time, and I really didn't see anything different. | ||
| It was a quickly developed vaccine, there are a lot of people concerned about its safety, different kinds, which one do we get, which one, the Pfizer, the Moderna, now the Johnson & Johnson is different. | ||
| They're actually really sophisticated on this, by the way, they understand the difference between mRNA and the antigen method, which is, I mean, people are paying attention. | ||
| And 25% said, you know what? | ||
| I'm good. | ||
| No thank you. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're trying to have a special guest on here. | ||
| Actually trying to get the music. | ||
| Thank you, Denver. | ||
| It started jamming. | ||
| It started jamming. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We return. | ||
| We're going to have Richard Barris is going to hang over. | ||
| We're going to have a special guest here talking about his endorsement this morning from President Trump. | ||

| I want to go now to Mo Brooks, one of the top congressmen in the House that has announced he's running for the United States Senate in Alabama. | ||
| This morning he got the endorsement of Donald J. Trump. | ||
| Congressman Brooks, Mo, I really wish this had happened in August of 2017, but hey, better late than never. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Tell us what it means to get President Trump's endorsement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thank you so much, Stephen. | |
| For those who don't know, Steve worked very hard to help me in 2017, and if we'd gotten the endorsement of Donald Trump back then, Doug Jones never would have been elected as a Democrat from the state of Alabama, the United States Senate. | ||
| We worked hard. | ||
| Things didn't work our way. | ||
| This time, they did. | ||
| Steve, thank you for the help back in 2017. | ||
| And what does it mean this time? | ||
| Well, in Alabama, it's huge. | ||
| Donald Trump is very well liked. | ||
| He beat Joe Biden like a drum in the general election by well over 20 percentage points and in a Republican primary, which is the key to victory. | ||
| uh... | ||
| and getting to the united states senate i would imagine that donald trump's favorable unfavorable ratio he's probably received a eighty percent favorably by republican primary voters and ten percent unfavorably they just can't get past those never trumpers uh... that that small percentage that there and just about every state but overwhelmingly people in the state of alabama who vote republican primaries highly respect donald trump's insight and wisdom and so it's like gold in a republican primary most appreciative for president | ||
| Trump placing that confidence in me. | ||
| Listen, the reason he did this, you can tell, is that he fully understands your character and what you stand for, etc. | ||
| We've had Richard Barris, one of the top young pollsters on here, and it's so serendipity that you got the endorsement day and you're on right now, and I know you're pressed for time, but I just gotta lay out a couple things Barris is showing us. | ||
| On three things I know that you are particularly interested in, and that is H.R. | ||
| 1, it's the open border situation, and particularly not just the spending, but the radical nature of the COVID-19 bill topped on this infrastructure bill that is going to radically transform this country. | ||
| Barris is coming out and saying, hey, the American people actually back Trump's policies. | ||
| On H.R. | ||
| 1, only 30% of the American people, when you read the bill to them, or highlights, only 30% support it, right? | ||
| 50% don't support it. | ||
| And same with immigration. | ||
| Biden's way upside down on immigration when he explained exactly what's happening. | ||
| And the same with these radical nature of the COVID-19 bill, what it really was in it, and this new infrastructure. | ||
| And you and I know all for infrastructure, but that's not what this bill is. | ||
| As a United States Senator, Congressman Brooks, what are you going to do about messaging, getting out in front of people and just drop this cowardice and the fecklessness of the Republican establishment? | ||
| What are you going to do to take this message not just to conservatives, not just to the MAGA crowd, but to the American people? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I'm going to do what I'm doing right now. | |
| I'm going to get on media outlets like yours. | ||
| I'm not afraid of CNN or MSNBC. | ||
| And I'm going to call it like it is. | ||
| And we have to be much bolder than we have been in the United States Congress in helping the people understand the dangers associated where the dictatorial socialists want to take us. | ||
| And I underscore the word dangerous. | ||
| This is life-threatening. | ||
| You've already seen it with our open borders, where roughly 2,000 Americans are killed each year at the hands of illegal aliens because of our poorer southern border from past years and this year. | ||
| Another 30-plus thousand are killed because of drug overdoses from the consumption of deadly narcotics that are smuggled across our poorer southern border. | ||
| This is serious stuff. | ||
| And then, when you talk about our Republic, and you mentioned this briefly, If you don't have honest and accurate elections, you don't have a republic. | ||
| Yeah, you can vote, but your vote doesn't count. | ||
| It's rigged. | ||
| And so we have to fight for honest and accurate elections, and we have to fight the Socialist Democrats. | ||
| Toe-to-toe, every step of the way, we cannot let them take our country from us. | ||
| We cannot let them undermine the United States Constitution. | ||
| We cannot let them destroy the foundational principles that have combined to make us the greatest nation in world history. | ||
| But that is exactly hell-bent where they want to take us. | ||
| Congressman Brooks, how do people that want to find out more about you, people that want to assist your campaign, what you're doing here, how do people get access to you both on social media and how they get access to both your house site and also your campaign site? | ||
|

|
Well, the easy way to find me is just Google Mo Brooks, and depending on which site you want to go to, go there. | |
| But on the campaign side of the coin, it's mobrooks.com. | ||
| Very easy to remember. | ||
| M-O-B-R-O-O-K-S dot com. | ||
| And, Steve, thank you for bringing that up. | ||
| I had forgotten to, and my staff says, Mo, you've got to say it. | ||
| You've got to say it. | ||
| So, mobrooks.com. | ||
| And, Steve, thank you so much for this opportunity, and also for all you have done and are doing To help the public be better educated so they can make smarter decisions at the ballot box. | ||
| Congressman Brooks, Godspeed. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| Thank you, sir, for coming on. | ||

| You're pretty good, Rahim. | ||
| You're getting us down. | ||
| Really teaching you how to be commercialized. | ||
| Monetizing Rahim, that's what we're into. | ||
| Okay, I want to go back to Richard Barris. | ||
| Blockbuster News, you know, we got so many accolades. | ||
| On the combo we had of McGinley and Barris. | ||
| That's where we brought him back as a team today. | ||
| Barris for the first hour, McGinley's going to be in the second hour on election night. | ||
| And so many people, hedge fund guys, political people, all over the world said it was amazing. | ||
| Your show had no happy talk for like six, seven hours. | ||
| And Barris was calling it the entire way. | ||
| I think that your analysis in this, and we're going to put it up in the live chat and make sure people get more access to you, Richard, is pretty stunning. | ||
| I want to go back And remember Posse, I understand, and the people at Moderna and Johnson and Pfizer are very upfront that it is a gene therapy, right? | ||
| Or what they would call a new style of vaccine. | ||
| I want to go back to the demographics underneath that, because that 24.8% Is that being a hard number? | ||
| That's going to make the administration, they're going to have to think through how they're going to do this, right? | ||
| They've discounted, and you never hear them talk about the people that have already had it in the calculations now for herd immunity. | ||
| Also, Blinken picked up the other day The, to make sure people are keeping track at home. | ||
| The World Health Organization's, you know, Klaus Schwab, his whole thing is that nobody's vaccinated until everybody's vaccinated. | ||
| That's what Blinken was saying the other day. | ||
| It doesn't make a difference if 330 million Americans are vaccinated until the whole world's vaccinated. | ||
| So they're now the sales department, the sales force, the head of sales and marketing for Big Pharma is now our Secretary of State. | ||
| That's also just a recognition that they appreciate that the whole world is going to try and get into the United States at some point by the Southern Board. | ||
| Don't forget the vaccine, right? | ||
| The other thing we're going to stress, a composite on some work we saw the other day, that they're doing information warfare on vaccine envy, right? | ||
| Don't be envious that you're not in line for vaccines, that it's going to come. | ||
| They had every organization, you know, dropped it at the same time, which is just like Build Back Better, right? | ||
| Just like all of these memes they put out there. | ||
| Richard, what's the demographic breakdown on your vaccine analysis? | ||
| Yeah, this is funny because this is Biden administration. | ||
| It's clear that black and brown people do not have access to the vaccine as much as white and Asian people. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So if you look in the demographics, only about less than 20% of Asians say they are not going to get it. | ||
| So they are the least likely group to not want to. | ||
| I mean, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, we really drill into demographics. | ||
| It's a smaller group, so it's possible they're a little bit lower than Asians, but they're a smaller subgroup, so the error rate is a little bit higher here. | ||
| But whites are pretty much on par with whether you've gotten it, plan to get it, or won't get it, than the overall number. | ||
| But when it comes to Hispanics, for instance, 22%, which is less than the entire nation overall, say they're a hard no. | ||
| But they just haven't gotten it yet, Steve. | ||
| Only 37.7% told us that they got it already. | ||
| 4 in 10 say they're going to get it, but they haven't been able to yet. | ||
| Whites are the most likely to tell us that they already have received it, which is about 47%. | ||
| A little under. | ||
| And the same goes for Black and African Americans. | ||
| So, what that tells me is that they want it, they just don't have access to it yet. | ||
| Or haven't had access to it, up until the point we interviewed them. | ||
| We'll see, moving forward, if those numbers change. | ||
| There are some groups that are really skeptical. | ||
| Indians, for instance, they are a no. | ||
| 46%. | ||
| And that we always oversample a lot of Asians. | ||
| Is that Native Americans, or from the Indian subcontinent here in the United States? | ||
| When you say Indians, is it Native Americans? | ||
| No, I mean Indians. | ||
| Indians from the continent, you know, itself. | ||
| American Indian would be, you know, or Alaskan Native, that would be Native Americans. | ||
| When you say Indians, what do you mean by hard no? | ||
| What's the number? | ||
| It's 46%. | ||
| They tell us they're just not going to get it. | ||
| Which is very statistically significant. | ||
| It's much higher than most of the other groups. | ||
| There are American Indian and Alaskan Natives, about 48% did say no as well. | ||
| But it's a smaller group, so we don't over-sample as much some of them. | ||
| So it's concerning because there are some groups of society that flatly say they're not going to get it. | ||
| And as you said in the last segment, that kind of hinders the entire purpose, if we're to believe public health officials, but you know, this is America. | ||
| You know, they get to make those decisions. | ||
| Yeah, but you made the assessment earlier that you were surprised that people had the level of detail, the knowledge, when you made these calls. | ||
| They knew the difference in the different vaccines. | ||
| They know the fact that Moderna and Pfizer seem to be a different type of concept or construct. | ||
| In vaccinations, maybe gene therapies, than the others. | ||
| You're saying they knew the details. | ||
| I don't know why it's concerning. | ||
| Basically, in a free society, a certain amount of people have just made a decision that until they hear more, until they know more, or maybe they've heard enough and they don't want to hear any more, they ain't doing it. | ||
| And that number is statistically quite significant. | ||
| My wife made a joke, you know, she's Hispanic, and she made a joke when we looked at this, and she said, they're letting white people take it first. | ||
| You know, they just don't know. | ||
| They're gonna let white people be the guinea pigs, which is a joke, but it's possible, Steve. | ||
| I mean, honestly, I think part of this is access, and then I think part of it is concern. | ||
| It was developed quickly, which we hear a lot, how quickly this thing was developed. | ||
| So that's number one. | ||
| And then number two, the fact that They've never heard of this kind of vaccine. | ||
| Most of Johnson & Johnson is rather new. | ||
| They got to this game late, so maybe that'll help for some of these people, but I don't know. | ||
| It's something we're going to continue to track because it's important, but it's also interesting. | ||
| How do people get more access to you? | ||
| What's your social media handles? | ||
| We've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| What's your social media handles? | ||
| How do people get more to The People's Pundit? | ||
| Yeah, they can still follow me on Twitter at People's Underscore Pundit, and they can check me out on Locals now. | ||
| We spend a lot of time on Locals, which is peoplespundit.locals.com. | ||
| Amazing job, Richard. | ||
| Thank you very much, and particularly thank your wife for doing all the work. | ||
| The engine room of the People's Pundit is where all the action is. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Okay, brother. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Thank you so much for coming on. | ||
| Really appreciate it. | ||
| All the best. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| What's really interesting is Axios put a story up this morning entitled America is losing its religion, and when you consider how a lot of America is responding mindlessly, embracing these gene therapies, it ties in with a lot of what Axios is breaking down here about how people are looking elsewhere for their religion. | ||

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. | ||
| Welcome to the world of The Bannon Show. | ||
| ♪♪♪ | ||
| Okay, Rahim, that is a very special individual. | ||
| I know very close to you, very close to people on the show and affiliated with the show. | ||
| Talk to us about the tribute we just had. | ||
| Yeah, well unfortunately yesterday we learned of the passing of former representative Bobby Schilling, Robert Schilling, the father of Terry Schilling, a great friend of the show, a great personal friend of mine. | ||
| He has struggled with a battle with cancer for several Months now, and succumbed to it yesterday. | ||
| Bobby was just an extraordinary individual. | ||
| A real patriot. | ||
| A serious family man. | ||
| You know, I said in the tribute I made up there, nine awesome kids plus Terry Schilling, so that's ten kids in total. | ||
| Just an amazing family. | ||
| You know, stunning wife. | ||
| Had this amazing pizza place out in East Moline. | ||
| It's called San Giuseppe's Heavenly Pizza, still owned by the family. | ||
| And you know, you go and read about Bobby, he was all about improving people's lives, working class people was his passion, his faith, his family. | ||
| We're so sorry to have lost him, but we absolutely know that Bobby is in a better place and we ask everybody send their prayers to the Schilling family. | ||
| Here's the thing too, he left his mark. | ||
| On America, and I want to talk about American Principles Project and what his son, Terry, is carrying on because he was born into a situation that the family was everything. | ||
| The family was the centerpiece of what, and they understood that civic society is not about government. | ||
| Civic society, the nucleus of that, historically, in the Judeo-Christian West, and particularly as Rabbi Sparrow tells us, the American ethos of that, the American part of that, is predicated upon families, and that is You know, strong and happy families. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Is it Dusky? | ||
| Yes, he says all happy families are the same. | ||
| Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own unique way, right? | ||
| And they understood the core of the family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So tell us about how his work, Bobby's work, Yeah, and it's going to move forward in shaping America in so many ways. | |
| Ten kids, it's quite the legacy. | ||
| And all of those, his children obviously are having their own families now too. | ||
| Has already five kids of his own, and is my age, I'm lagging behind, 34 with five kids, and is dedicating his life, of course, through the American Principles Project, to improving the lot of the American family. | ||
| And not just improving the lot economically, but improving their lot in terms of how much the American family is represented, how much the American family is listened to. | ||
| You know, a lot of the stuff that you're seeing around right now I know a lot of people saw the governor of Arkansas on Fox last night getting really, really choked out. | ||
| He got eviscerated. | ||
| Eviscerated by Tucker Carlson. | ||
| And a lot of what happened to Kristi Noem, this is coming in part from the American Principles Project, who are holding people's feet to the fire, who are not delivering on family-orientated promises. | ||
| Kristi Noem is up there sending an executive order every day now. | ||
| Because of the American Principles Project in this show, and others saying, hey look, we heard you, you're going to do all this, do all that, but the first time it comes, you fold, right? | ||
| Now they're signing, they're not signing executive orders that are going against the Chamber of Commerce because they want to. | ||
| They're doing it because, and this is what I love about the American Principles Project, is that you've picked the American family, right? | ||
| If you get that sorted, That's the foundation of civic society, and that's the foundation at the grassroots level. | ||
| Strong families lead to strong individuals. | ||
| Strong individuals lead to a strong nation. | ||
| And that's why Bobby Schilling's work. | ||
| You know, his life's work, which was around his family, will carry on and have an impact. | ||
| I want to go quickly to two things. | ||
| Number one is Axios. | ||
| We talked about this last week. | ||
| You know, about this time of year, particularly in Holy Week and in Passover, they always start dropping the opinion polls about where Americans stand on religion. | ||
| And last week was shocking. | ||
| I actually had a meeting. | ||
| We had a conference here last night that went for many, many hours, talking about the importance of hitting that line of demarcation, where I think under 50% of the American people, for the first time in history, are kind of unchurched, or no real religion, organized religion, right? | ||
| And Axios, of course, you know, five days late, but it's good that they picked it up, actually went through that study and did it in a pretty profound way. | ||
| Rahim, what did they come up with? | ||
| So Gallup released this poll that found 47% of Americans reported belonging to a house of worship, down from 50% in 2018 and 70% as recently as 1999. | ||
| Axios says the shift away from organized religion is a very 21st century phenomenon. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| religious membership was 73% when Gallup first measured it in 1937, stayed above 70% for the next six Decades. | ||
| But interestingly, as you go through the analysis of this, Axios talks about how people are finding, you know, quote-unquote religion elsewhere. | ||
| Talk about politics, they specifically mention campaigns such as Black Lives Matter. | ||
| They say not religious in nature but often adopt the language of religion, spirituality and justice. | ||
| So it's sort of confirming some of the things that we've said all along. | ||
| I was listening to Axios' podcast on this this morning, a very brief one. | ||
| They even mentioned climate change as a... Now remember, whenever the writer has said The left treats climate change as a religion. | ||
| We get excoriated for saying that. | ||
| Not only does this data bear that out, but I think people now, analysts on the left, are beginning to realize that that is absolutely the case. | ||
| It's called scientism. | ||
| It was one of the key parts of our special last week. | ||
| By the way, if you have not, we'll put the special back into the live chat. | ||
| You've got to share this special. | ||
| We're very proud of it. | ||
| For two hours we went through transhumanism. | ||
| We're going to do more of that. | ||
| I think we're pulling a special together for this weekend, part two. | ||
| I see the Federalist today has a major story about transhumanism. | ||
| It's a topic that we're taking the lead on for the simple reason is we're exposing the religion of the new religion of the secular crazy cultural Marxist left that is called scientism right you can roll up all the police under the Antifa and the Black Lives Matter and particularly CNN and climate change. | ||
| All of it rolls into a new high church theology called scientism, okay? | ||
| It ain't the science of the rational West, right? | ||
| Very, very, very dangerous. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be back with Bill McGinley, Dan Schultz, how you take over the Republican Party without stroking a check. |
